Jia Lian of the Red Chamber

Three days later, April [-]th.

Jia Lian still got up at Yinzheng, put down the curtain and went out of the inner room, and was taken aback when she saw Yingchun: "Second sister?"

Yingchun greeted her elder brother with a smile: "I have been taking care of the housework with my sister-in-law for the past few days. Seeing that my sister-in-law has to take care of the house and help the second brother pack for going out, I can't help, so I want to do double for the second brother." Boots, I don’t know if my brother agrees or not.”

Sister Feng pursed her lips and smiled, and showed Jia Lian the shoes made by Yingchun: "Your brother is really narrow-minded. You know that the second sister is timid, but you still tease her. Isn't that obvious? The second sister came here in the dark this morning, of course it's special. I’m here to travel with your elder brother, look, it’s all on these shoes.”

Jia Lian took a closer look and found that the shoes were finely made, with a layered sole of fine white cotton cloth, a picture of magpies climbing plums embroidered in gold silk on the upper, words embroidered on the boots, and one embroidered with the words "Da Peng Rises from the Wind in a Day". , and the other is embroidered with 'Raising to [-] Li'.

The characters are seal characters, which look like strands of auspicious clouds.

The boots look festive and have a good meaning, and Jia Lian likes them very much: "Second sister is really skillful, these boots are well made, I will wear them to the end today."

Yingchun is an honest person, and waved her hands quickly when she heard the words: "I didn't do it alone, the soles were made by my fourth sister and the maids rushing to work day and night, and the picture of magpies climbing plums on the upper was drawn by my sister Lin and embroidered by me." , that word is written by the third sister."

Jia Lian was taken aback when he heard the words, he didn't expect the three younger sisters to value him so much.

Sister Feng clapped her hands and laughed when she heard the words: "Oh, everyone is picking up firewood with great enthusiasm. The second master brought the blessings of his sisters, and it must be the success of the Toad Palace."

Jia Lian's heart was full of that kind of warm joy, which he had never experienced in his previous life.

After breakfast, Jia Lian went out.

The costumes for the hospital examination are still the same, only a pair of cloud climbing boots full of the expectations of the younger sisters are added.Wearing boots, Jia Lian felt as light as a swallow, and rushed all the way to the Chuihua Gate, causing Sister Feng, Yingchun, and Auntie to trot all the way behind him.

Jia Lian stood still in front of the Chuihua Gate, and bowed to Sister Feng Yingchun: "Thank you, Ma'am, and thank you, Second Sister!"

Sister Feng curled her lips and pursed her lips into a snicker, feeling that Jia Lian was becoming more and more pretentious.

However, Yingchun's eyes were reddened, and she saluted back: "Second brother, I heard people say that the college exam needs two days and two nights without sleep, you have to take good care of yourself."

Jia Lian was moved when he heard this.He has always felt that Yingchun has a dull temper and is indifferent to others, but he never thought that Yingchun also has such an emotional side.

Jia Lian stretched out his hand to help Yingchun: "I'll save it, and live with your sister-in-law. If there's nothing to do in Dongyuan, don't go there. The servants are disobedient, just beat them out, and I'll support you if something happens."

Jia Lian said let's go.

Yingchun looked at her brother's back with a sore nose.

Sister Feng quickly hugged her: "I know that the girl has been wronged all along, since your brother said he would support you, you just stand up and follow the rules in everything."

Yingchun was taken aback when he heard the words, and stood up?Just like the third sister, can the nanny spit on her when she makes a mistake?

Yingchun bit her lip, she didn't know if the nanny would ask her to go back to the housekeeper to scold her and beat her up next time the nanny tried to force her to borrow money.Will the wife call her unkind?

Yingchun frowned.

Sister Feng remained calm, no matter how helpful her brother and sister-in-law were, they couldn't always follow her. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the house, she had to rely on her own strength.Yingchun has a soft temper, so it depends on whether Jia Lian can take the opportunity to stand up after Jia Lian has spoken this time.

Otherwise, Sister Feng really doesn't know what to do.Unexpectedly, Yingchun had no choice but to find someone in the Jia family who could handle it and marry him at a low price.

Looking back, she said that Jia Lian was rushing to take the exam and left Sister Feng at home. Although Jia Lian was convincing and talented, Sister Feng did not dare to make it public, because she was afraid of making mistakes, so she took Yingchun Ping'er to prepare quietly in private.

Ping'er is in charge of catering for the guests. He lists out the tableware and tea sets used by the guests one by one, and then checks the accounts and counts the number, so that he knows exactly what he will use in a day.

On the other hand, Sister Feng dug out the roster of relatives and relatives of the Rong Mansion, and listed all the people in Beijing one by one, and asked Ping'er to find out the leftover invitations from previous years, and hand them to Yingchun, and she was behind the conference hall. It was quietly transcribed in the small storeroom of the house, and Sister Feng checked them one by one, so as not to be in a hurry, and it would not be good to miss any one.

The invitations written by Yingchun were handed over to Sister Feng to take them home quietly and hide them so as not to leak them out.

Just like that, Sister Feng Yingchun and sister-in-law were both excited and worried, secretly waiting for the good news.

Yingchun appears to be calm on the surface, but in fact he is trembling in his heart, he is afraid that his brother Jia Lianyuan will be laughed at if he fails the exam, and he is very uneasy.

Whenever she has a chance, she sneaks a pair of watery eyes at Sister Feng, and Sister Feng can't help but comfort her, the aunts and sisters-in-law are hiding a common secret, and they are closer than before.

April [-]th, the second day of the college exam.

After noon, Sister Feng ordered the chariots and horses to be prepared, and went to the kitchen to watch and make Jia Lian's favorite snacks, filling a box full of them.At the moment of Shenshi, he urged Zhao'er and Wang'er to meet Jia Lian.

At home, Sister Feng was busy preparing fragrant soup for bathing, scenting clothes, and preparing wine and dishes, just waiting for Jia Lian to go home to enjoy it.

When Jia Lian arrived home, it was already dusk. Sister Feng was afraid that Jia Lian would not be able to bear it. After all, Jia Zhu was an example in the family. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian did not look tired when she returned home.Sister Feng was secretly surprised, she didn't dare to ask, but she was guessing in her heart, could it be that the second master didn't pass the exam?

Sister Feng heard that some candidates slept in the examination room for three days because of the uncommon questions, so she wondered if Jia Lian encountered an uncommon question this time, so she simply didn’t write. Refreshing?

Jia Lian is very busy at the moment, he still has a lot of things to arrange, and he is not in the mood to speculate about Sister Feng's eyebrows and lawsuits.He hurriedly took a shower and changed his clothes, and followed Xing'er out.

This is the day when Jia Lian introduced Jia Rong to meet Liu Xianglian.

This is also Jia Lian's intentional time difference. No one would have thought that Jia Lian would still have the energy to plot people in two consecutive exams!

Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian got on their horses, rode at night, and there were few people around, and went straight to Wufeng Tower at full speed.

Jia Rong was already flustered in the Qinglian Juli of Wufeng Tower. Jia Lian and Liu Xianglian entered the door. Jia Rong circled around like ants in a hot pot. When she saw Jia Lian, she almost cried: "Second Uncle, if you don't come again, I think Second Uncle has changed his mind." gone."

Jia Lian laughed, and patted Jia Rong vigorously: "Manly man, keep your waist straight." Then he gave Liu Xianglian to the front: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Liu who is both civil and military, famous in the capital city."

Before Jia Lian could finish speaking, Jia Rong jumped three feet and pulled Liu Xianglian forward with surprises: "Oh, isn't this Leng Erlang Xiaoliuzi? You are the martial arts master hired by my second uncle. That's great. Brother, I will mess with you from now on!"

Seeing that they were familiar with each other, Jia Lian smiled and said, "That's good, I don't need to waste my words."

Liu Xianglian was hired by Jia Lian. At first she thought it was to protect Jia Lian, but later she said she was secretly protecting Jia Rong. Liu Xianglian had no objection. Jia Rong was just like Jia Lian. Master Jia Rong said?

Liu Xianglian frowned and looked at Jia Lian: "Second Master, what does this master mean? You don't have the ability to do this."

If Jia Rongwen can't become a martial artist, he doesn't want such a stupid or lazy student, and he doesn't have to ruin his reputation.

Jia Lian smiled: "Young Master Liu will be mistaken, don't worry, you want to accept him as an apprentice, I'm afraid his lazy temper will not be happy!"

Jia Rong pulled Liu Xianglian and quacked happily: "Xiao Liuzi, I don't learn martial arts, so can you call me Piaoxi?"

A young man from a wealthy family wants to play with him without being responsible or working hard, so why not do it.

Liu Xianglian leaned against the door with a sword in her arms and smiled coolly.

"This is a skill that God rewards. I can't teach it, but I can introduce you to it. Whether you can succeed or not, practice depends on your own talent and hard work."

Jia Rong was very happy: "Success, as long as you are willing to take me."

Jia Lian saw that they were chatting happily, so he simply sat aside and tasted tea, checking his pocket watch from time to time, because it was time for a curfew, so he got up and smiled: "Okay, it's getting late, so don't pass it by, it's only a few days left, and I will see you in the future." happy day."
