Red Mansions Circle of Friends

You don't care what day I leave.

Seeing Qiao Jian's question, Nan Sheng couldn't help but slander her.He disapproved in his heart, but he still didn't show any impatience on his face, "I'm not sure yet, Zuo just listened to the arrangement of my uncle and the old lady."

"If the date is fixed, send someone to inform Brother Wei, so that Brother Wei can see you and your cousin off." Jieshi reminded the younger sisters who had gone on a long journey, so that they could make good use of the elder brother's abilities in front of everyone. right.

"Brother Jian is very important to prepare for the exam. It's not like my cousin and I won't be back. What's more, there are many servants at home, so they will naturally take care of us. Even if my brother is gone, we can't talk. If there is any mess at the pier, what else will happen? What a mistake, isn’t it because of a small loss that the big is lost.”

Don't be courteous and fail to offer, and hurt your own arms and legs again.Officials who passed the imperial examination represent the face of the imperial court. If you hurt your face or hurt an obvious place, then you should not think about it next year.

Although Nan Sheng didn't speak so clearly, there was a faint hint in his words.

Don't lose more than you gain because of small losses.

Qiao Jian originally wanted to take advantage of seeing off to see if she could catch up with someone.Seeing what Nan Sheng said, he seriously thought about the possibility in Nan Sheng's words, and the danger of Nan Sheng, who was not cruel but didn't have much affection for him.

"What my sister said is very true. Rongguo Mansion is a very safe family at first glance. I can rest assured that they will take care of you and my cousin." Giving up this idea, Qiao Jianfu mentioned another thing, "I I heard that the Jia family studies in this capital city, and there are so many talented people in the school that all Jia clan members and relatives' children can enroll. Jian just entered the capital, so I wonder if she can go to the attached school?"

"Are you going to the Jia family school to attend classes?" Hearing such fresh words, Nan Sheng stared at Qiao Jian with wide eyes, "Are you serious?"

"What do you mean, sister?"

Nan Sheng looked Qiao Jian up and down, put his left arm on the handle of the chair, and pressed his forehead with his left hand.Holding a handkerchief in his right hand to cover the twitching corners of his mouth, "The Jia family has ethnology, and the admission requirements are not difficult. It's just that you have some misunderstandings about Jia's family studies?"

"Misunderstand?"

"It's been decades since the Jia Family Studies has produced a scholar. The clan elder who is in charge of the family studies is now old and doesn't care much. Most of the time, his eldest grandson Jia Rui is in charge of him."

Those who jump high will go to the Jia family to learn from them. I'm afraid you want to destroy your future.Although Chunwei may not be on the list next year, there is still a slight chance if you don't go to the Jia family to learn from you. If you go to this life, you may stop raising people.

In other words, Qiao Jian has been in Beijing for a long time, so he only inquired about these useless news?

Jia's men with good character are rare. If Qiao Jian is really put together with those people, he must evolve further.

At that time, if the good ones don't learn and then learn to be worse, she is afraid that she will be able to cry down two Great Walls.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Hearing the situation of Jia Family School, the thick-skinned Qiao Jian couldn't help but blush, a little embarrassing.Qiao Shan couldn't help venting his anger and went out to inquire about the news, which made him lose face.

At the same time, Qiao Jian also found that her younger sister was becoming more and more slippery.The words were soft, but they blocked the road to death.

Clutching the hands in the sleeves, Qiao Jian's eyes darkened slightly.Now that spring is approaching, what he is most afraid of is unnecessary accidents.He was worried that if he didn't follow Nan Sheng's advice and study in peace, and went around for a living, she would ruin his future.

Who told him that he was just a concubine.

I think back when I was in Yundu, my good aunt and this good sister in front of me never looked at their mother and child.Now that time has passed and she has climbed to a higher branch again, she doesn't care much about her elder brother who remembers her father's birth.It's really obstructing her eyes, and I'm a little man with my hands and feet tied up.

"It's like this? Fortunately, the eldest girl reminded me, otherwise your brother's future will be missed." The second aunt, who was put down by Nan Sheng but stubbornly stayed in the living room with her hair stiffened, was upset when she heard this. After a few laps, with no surprise on his face, and thankful to accept the words, he smiled gratefully and gratifiedly at Nan Sheng, "How else can we say that the whole family's brothers and sisters have broken bones and tendons. Although the master and wife I'm gone, but as long as you brothers and sisters support each other, life will always get better."

"Huh? Why is Second Aunt still here? I'm not an outsider, so if you're tired, go down and have a rest." Nan Sheng looked surprised as if she had just seen Second Aunt, "It's all right."

Nan Sheng said firmly that she just saw Second Concubine just now. As for what Second Concubine said just now—did she speak just now?

No way.

Second Aunt: "" The little short-lived ghost is as annoying as her mother.

Qiao Jian: "" After all, she is my wife's daughter. She has learned ten percent of her mind and tricks at a young age.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. My aunt is happy for a while when she sees my sister's house." Qiao Jian said with a smile, and then ordered the girl to add tea to Nansheng, "Today is a rare reunion, and I don't know the meal prepared on the stove. Is Xi and my sister's appetite."

The second aunt heard that this was the step her son had found for her, so she hurried down the steps.He said with a smile that he would go to the kitchen to watch, cook two homemade dishes himself, and then really retreated as Nan Sheng wanted.

When Second Aunt disappeared, Nan Sheng didn't say anything about her leaving.He only smiled and told Qiao Jian some interesting things about Beijing and Lin Ruhai regarded her as if he had already spoken.

"That's it, I'm relieved."

"Uncle is only my niece, how could he treat me wrongly? Now my uncle entrusts me and my cousin to the old matriarch to raise me. What my uncle means is that the old matriarch will also be the master of the big things in the future. Listen to the arrangements of the elders. When it comes to my elder brother, my mother left a letter for my uncle before she died. Speaking of my elder brother's benevolence and filial piety, and his talent in reading, he will shine brightly in the future, and his grand plans are just around the corner."

Saying that the concubine is benevolent and filial?If he really valued the concubine so much, would he take away two-thirds of the family's belongings?

Not to mention that Nan Sheng didn't believe what she said, even Qiao Jian didn't take it seriously.Not only did he not take it seriously, he also heard a threat and warning from Nan Sheng's words.

In fact, Nan Sheng doesn't really like such a roundabout way of speaking, but after living in the inner house of this time and space for several years, he understands some of the most superficial 'reasons'.At this time, she came here first to check on Qiao Jian's attitude, and secondly to express her own attitude.

It's easy to get together and break up, and we can still maintain the superficial harmony.If he had other thoughts, it would be a big deal.

At that time, it depends on who can afford to lose.

Regardless of whether Nan Sheng really can afford to lose, but Qiao Jian, who is obviously on the verge of spring, cannot afford to lose at this time.Sometimes there is no need to speak too clearly, everyone knows what they mean in their hearts.

After Nan Sheng finished speaking, she turned around and asked Shi Shan what time it was. Shi Shan said the time cleverly, and said with annoyed expression that the old lady told her to go back earlier before leaving the house.

Nan Sheng took advantage of the opportunity to get up and leave, and Qiao Jian only kept her for a symbol, and then sent Nan Sheng away.

As soon as the door was closed, Second Aunt walked over with a sullen face, looking at the closed door, her eyes were full of viciousness.As for Qiao Jian, she still held her breath, saluted Second Aunt, and went back to the study to read.

But a few months, he can afford it.

Leaving the small courtyard where Qiao's family lived temporarily, Nan Sheng leaned tiredly against the back wall of the carriage.Shishan glanced at Nansheng, then lifted the curtain to look outside, and asked Nansheng in a low voice whether to go directly to the residence or where to go.

"First, make a detour to Tonghetang and buy the medicinal materials on the list." Nan Sheng took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Shi Shan, "I'm going back to the South in a while, so I'll be prepared to buy some medicinal materials."

Although I don't know if these things are sold in Yangzhou, although the things under the emperor's feet are a bit more expensive, they have a complete range.Buy it back first, it's best to use it.Save it when you don't need it, it's not a waste.

Shishan took the list, glanced at it roughly, and then said, "Should I wait in the carriage, or go to the teahouse beside me."

"I'm going back to the mansion first." Pressing her temple, Nan Sheng felt that she was getting more and more depraved now. She felt sleepy and tired even though she hadn't done anything. Lan, you should go back after eating outside."

What Nan Sheng meant was to leave two rough envoys to accompany Shi Shan to buy medicinal materials here, and Nan Sheng and Xiang Lan went back home first.Wait for the carriage to take Nansheng to Rongguo Mansion, and then come back to pick up Shishan.As for why Shi Shan was asked to eat outside, one reason is that she must have missed the time to eat when she went back, and the other reason is that the servants who came out with them today are mostly from the Rongguo Mansion, and they really need to be guided by public opinion.

Shishan is Nan Sheng's confidant, upon hearing this, she understood Nan Sheng's thoughts.When the carriage arrived at Tonghetang, he went to do his own business and didn't mention it.

On the other hand, Nan Sheng didn't go back directly to Rongguo Mansion. When the carriage passed through a street, he sent Xiang Lan down to buy some delicate gadgets and snacks that the little girl liked, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Nan Sheng used to go out of the mansion to go to the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and Rongguo Mansion arranged for a carriage and servants to follow the carriage, so he didn't need to greet anyone when he went in and out.When I went out today, I only told Daiyu, because it took less than two hours to come and go, and I didn't know anyone when I came back.

After returning to the mansion, I asked the girl who was watching the house, and knew that no one was looking for her, and the mansion was not very lively, so Nan Sheng asked Daiyu to pack all the things she bought and sent them to Daiyu herself. Going to share the fun with the girls, while letting the girl wait for her to change and wash her clothes, she fell asleep without any use.

In fact, Nan Sheng didn't sleep well last night.

Nan Sheng is not the kind of person whose psychological quality is not good enough, but sometimes she can't sleep the day before knowing what's going on the next day.

It was still the state where she desperately told herself to go to bed early tonight, and when she got up early tomorrow, the more difficult it was for her to fall asleep.

Although going out for a trip didn't solve Qiao Jian, but I have to say that she also knew Qiao Jian's thoughts and thoughts.After finding out this point, Nan Sheng will have a direction to act in the future, so she feels relieved, and now she sleeps even more heavily.

After sleeping until the lights came on, I was dizzy and woke up hungry.

"The girl is awake. Shi Jiu's family has been waiting for the girl for a long time." Hearing the movement in the inner room, Xiang Lan hurried in. Seeing that Nan Sheng was already awake, she hung the bed curtain with a copper hook while following her Nansheng reported, "Sister Yu came here by herself, and asked my sister to come over twice. The girl got up early to use some things, and the water and rice were not wet all day. I even warmed porridge for you on the small stove. This time Son use or?"

"Let's use it." I woke up hungry, so I didn't wait for a while. "Go and tell Daiyu that I'm awake."

"Yes."

At this time in the capital, the outside is already frozen, and the house is as warm as summer because of the burning of earth dragons, burning charcoal pots and smoker cages.Nan Sheng just woke up and didn't change any clothes.

Inside was a silver and white peony embroidered apron, outside a light green slanted placket shirt, and only a pair of loose-leg trousers underneath, and stepped on a pair of indoor embroidered shoes before leaving the inner room.

The long hair was only loosely tied with a red headband, and a little bit of hair fell on the cheeks, which brought out a touch of pure charm.

"Why are you still here sooner or later? Hey, it's snowing." When I came out of the inner room, I saw Shi Jiu's family sitting on the side chatting, and asked casually. Flicking the snowflakes, "Have someone send a letter home, I will stay in the mansion tonight, and come back tomorrow morning."

"So I thought about getting together with the girl. When I first lit the lamp, I asked someone to send a message back." Seeing Nan Sheng coming out of the house, Shi Jiu's family put down their work and stood up to answer. The box in his arms, who dared not look away, calmly pushed it in front of Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng knew the box, after all, after the box was finished, it was first sent to her to see, and then it was taken out to fool people.

Seeing the box now, she knew that the box must contain the thing she wanted.Just about to open their mouths to speak, Xiang Lan and Shi Shan brought Nan Sheng's dinner over.

Not only that, but upon hearing the voice of the little girl outside the door, Nan Sheng knew that Dai Yu had also received news.

So he quickly got up, picked up the box and entered the inner room, and then used the cover of the inner room to transfer the box into the space before walking out again.

When Daiyu heard that Nan Sheng had woken up, she put on her cloak and came over.As soon as he got to the door, he remembered something, and hurriedly asked the girl to pack the bowl of sugar-steamed yogurt that Jia's mother had sent earlier, and take it to Nan Sheng to eat.

Nansheng is kind to Daiyu, and Daiyu loves Nansheng too.Knowing that Nan Sheng was tired from going out today, she wanted to treat Nan Sheng better.

Although Jia's mother treated Nan Sheng differently, she was not as caring towards her as Bao Dai and the other two. Only Bao Dai and herself had this kind of sugar-steamed yogurt.When Daiyu got it, she kept it until now, waiting to eat with Nansheng.

At this time she came at the right time, after the two sisters shared a bowl of steamed yogurt with sugar, Daiyu had another dinner with Nan Sheng.

In fact, it was mainly to accompany Nan Sheng to eat, and she didn't move a few chopsticks herself.

After the meal, I got up to rinse my mouth, and the little sisters leaned together to talk privately.At the beginning, Nan Sheng was still thinking about the Fengyue Baojian brought in by Shi Jiu's family, and then forgot about it while talking.

The topic started with Qiao Jian, and then gradually covered Qin Keqing. "The old lady asked someone to bring snacks to Brother Rong's daughter-in-law. I heard that Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is too sick to eat now, and she is so skinny."

"Didn't you say it was getting better a few days ago?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Nan Sheng couldn't help laughing.That's Qin Keqing, what she said, I'm afraid she really didn't wake up.Reining in her mind, Nan Sheng used Qin Keqing's incident to inoculate Daiyu: "Life and death are destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky. Living is not necessarily a good thing, and death is not necessarily a bad thing. Life is like a journey, some people take longer Some people walk shorter. In this world where the sky is high and the water is long, back and forth, the old song ends and the new one begins. Sadness doesn’t have to be too much, it’s only when they go to a distant place with poetry.”

After Nansheng finished speaking, Daiyu was silent for a long time before asking her softly, "Sister, is there really reincarnation in the world?"

"There should be. Karma and retribution should have some indescribable connection with reincarnation." Touching Daiyu's hair, she found that Daiyu's hair volume was a little thin, and she wondered if she should start giving Daiyu tomorrow. Eat something that nourishes and nourishes your hair.

Well, we have to arrange black sesame or something.

After running around in her thoughts, Nan Sheng casually said, "People in the world say that sons and daughters owe their sons and daughters, and only those who owed each other in the previous life can be relatives in this life. Maybe uncle and aunt owed you something in the previous life. I want to be your parents. Maybe in the future, my aunt will become your daughter, so that you can repay her the love of giving birth to and nurturing her for many years."

But if you think about it according to this logic, the brothers and sisters in this life were actually husband and wife in the previous life?

Shivering uncontrollably, Nan Sheng ended the topic before embarrassing herself to death.

She is really stupid and not suitable for this kind of errand as a close sister.

Nan Sheng opened his mouth to explain people's words indiscriminately, until Dai Yu listened to her heart.She felt that Jia Min gave birth to her and raised her, and Jia Min left before she could repay Jia Min's kindness, so now she owes Jia Min, according to the theory of children's debt, she will have to treat her daughter better in the future, It needs to be better.

Never let her lose her mother when she was young

Nan Sheng slept a lot earlier, and when it was time to go to bed, she wasn't sleepy at all.But when the time came, he still went to bed with Daiyu.During the day, Daiyu greets the old lady, laughs with the old lady, plays with the sisters, quarrels with Baoyu, and teaches her students to read and write.

Insomnia, do not exist.

As soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep like a pig. Nan Sheng couldn't sleep and lay beside him and kept turning over without waking the girl up, which showed how tired the girl was.

Daiyu taught the little girls how to read and write. People in the mansion saw it, and thought that the little girls had nothing to do to pass the time, and no one said anything about Daiyu.Of course, it was mainly due to Nansheng and Daiyu's loose hands, the old lady valued love, Lin Ruhai was still alive, Madam Wang's tolerance had increased, that's why Daiyu lived so leisurely in the mansion.

In fact, to put it bluntly, a large part of the reason is Nan Sheng.

Nan Sheng now lives in the Rongguo Mansion, she just painted a portrait for the concubine, and everyone like Jia Mu and Mrs Wang had a quick look at the painting.To put it bluntly, it is not too much to be carved out of a mold.As amazing as Nan Sheng's painting skills are, the work of Jia's mother's agent is so enticing.There are many people who want to establish a good relationship with Nan Sheng and let Nan Sheng take over private work.

Just like Mrs. Wang, like Sister Feng

If you want to run a horse, you have to feed the horse.And how much Nan Sheng loves Dai Yu, other people are not blind and can't see it at all.After all these comings and goings, Daiyu's life is still not going well.

It turned out that when Xue's family entered the capital, Mrs. Wang offended Jia's mother.As Nan Sheng is a relative of eight groups inside and outside the house, it is the cheapest to use her as a raft to disgust Mrs. Wang and the Xue family.But Nan Sheng hid under the pretext of painting Jia Mu's birthday portrait. When Jia Mu's portrait was finished, Jia Mu also saw the value of Nan Sheng, so she would never use Nan Sheng as a raft again, and their life would be in jeopardy. It's better.

I just hope it lasts a few more years.

Daiyu had no dreams all night, and woke up until dawn.Woke up early and stayed in bed for a while before reluctantly getting up to clean up.Nan Sheng sat on the bed dazedly with big dark circles on his face, as if he didn't want to get up and had to accompany Daiyu to get up.

Although Daiyu slept soundly last night, seeing Nan Sheng like this, she thought for a while and understood why Nan Sheng was so sleepy.

"My sister might as well sleep for a while, and call you for breakfast after we collect the snow water."

Nan Sheng struggled to sit up to accompany Daiyu, but when she heard that Daiyu was so sensible, she immediately fell back, "You don't need to save the collected snow water, you just send it to the waiter to make tea for the old lady." , her old man loves this one the most.”

"I'm awake." Putting on her cloak, Daiyu answered naturally, "Good things like snow, water and dew are only for the old ladies. If there are more, just ask Sister Yuanyang to store them in. Besides, I have a weak spleen and stomach, so I have to drink them." Ordinary spring water tea. I can’t help but memorize it. Hmph, I don’t know who gave that jar of snow water last year.”

"Don't you know who it is? Coincidentally, I don't know who it is either." This little jealous jar, turning over old accounts at every turn, really convinced her, "I only promise you to be nice to her, but not me." Have you played with others?"

"Yes." Putting on the snow cap, Daiyu raised her chin, snorted proudly, and then led the girls out.

Can be regarded as gone.

Putting the quilt over her head, Nan Sheng buried her face in the pillow and wanted to continue to sleep.But maybe it was because of a verbal argument with Daiyu just now, and she was sleepy for a while, and couldn't fall asleep.

Sitting up, Nan Sheng glanced at the bed curtain that the girl put down just now, rolled her eyes, and took out the small box that Shi Jiu's family sent yesterday from the space.

Just when I was about to open the box, I thought of the plot in the book that the mirror would call for help, but I didn't dare to touch it for a while.

Stretching his head out of the bed, he glanced at the time, calculated in his mind the time when Daiyu would come back, then gritted his teeth and carried the small wooden box into the space.

Hmph, her space doesn't even have a strong mobile phone signal, so she's afraid she won't be able to isolate those monsters?

After entering the space, putting on the slippers left in the space, Nan Sheng walked to an open area where no fruits and vegetables were grown, then carefully opened the wooden box, and took out the magical Fengyue Jian from inside.

This is a double-sided mirror with a clear front and rear distinction.Nan Sheng took a deep breath, and when she raised the face to her eyes, she also put on a forensic autopsy mask in the space on her head, for fear that the mirror would spray poisonous smoke or something on her.

Wearing gloves on his hands and a transparent mask on his face, he picked up the Fengyue Baojian with a serious attitude towards autopsy.

When the mirror surface was just lifted, it was no different from an ordinary bronze mirror. After about two breaths, the bronze mirror began to change.

When Nan Sheng saw the person in the bronze mirror, her eyes widened suddenly, and she subconsciously threw the mirror out.

I'll go~
