A visit to Fangchun

When we were about to leave, Mrs. Xing couldn't hide her smile, and she took Baoyu's hand affectionately, and said earnestly: "Brother, remember to come and dress warmly when you come, although you are about to go out soon." It’s the first month of the month, but it’s actually still cold. Spring covers autumn, doesn’t it? My aunt will cook something delicious for you! What else do you think of for fun, and whatever is useful for you, do it for you!”

Mrs. Wang was so distraught that she even said goodbye to Jia's mother very perfunctorily. Baoyu was really worried about it, but she was dragged by Mrs. Xing, and it was not good, so she left. go up.But was stopped by Caiyun: "Second Lord, don't go. My wife has to slow down. If I can get up tomorrow, Second Master will come to see my wife earlier."

Baoyu paused, looking at Mrs. Wang's back, which was almost all pressed against Jin Chuan'er, and instantly felt a little sore.

Lin Daiyu knew that he was sad, so she followed him quietly, and when Caiyun was gone, Fang softly persuaded: "Go see your wife again tomorrow. You can't interfere with the matter between the master and the wife."

Baoyu stood there for a long time, then slowly hummed.Turning around and bowing his head, he and Lin Daiyu walked slowly one after the other, and suddenly asked: "Why did the master remember that the third younger sister was in charge of Huan'er's study?"

Lin Daiyu sighed softly, and said in a low voice: "Master, you have read the riddles for a long time, don't you understand? This year's lantern riddles were played in a miserable way. The eldest sister obviously didn't go so well in the palace, so she sent a message to my brothers and nephews The girls are all motivated by their studies. Do you think the master is in a hurry? Everyone can see that the third sister has a rough heart... The wife thinks about fighting first when encountering problems. The master handed Brother Huan to the third sister, but sooner or later matter."

Baoyu was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh.

When the news reached Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao wept with joy, hugged Jia Huan in her arms, and cried, "Mother's good son, I finally put you in my heart!"

Mother Zhao felt that Jia Zheng had made too much publicity in this matter, and she almost roasted Tanchun on the charcoal fire. When she came back, she complained to the book in a low voice: "Missy is a mother, and she values ​​our girl." Well, let me treat her as a good intention. But as soon as I did this, my wife and the Xue family were not happy. Now that the master said such things as a big family, Mrs. Ming'er might not know how to torture our girl!"

He waited for the book but didn't take it seriously: "Let's put the matter on the bright side, I'm afraid it will get better instead. Don't worry, Mammy, you can see how soundly the girl slept."

When Tanchun came back, he took off his hair, removed his make-up and went to sleep without saying a word. His confidantes were greatly admired.

In the early morning of the next day, Tanchun went to Jiamu's place to have breakfast as usual, and lightly instructed Yuanyang to keep Jiamu warm and clear her lungs, and then went back to her room to continue writing and reading.

When it was almost lunch time, Baoyu walked slowly into the yard, and ordered to wait for the book: "Go to the old lady and tell me, I will have a private meal with your girl today, and I will not go there."

Cui Mo's eyes widened, and after blinking for a long time, Fang asked: "What does Second Master want to eat, I'll prepare it right away?"

Baoyu felt a little unmotivated, so he waved his hand and said, "Just get some of your girl's favorite food, and prepare a jug of wine."

Cui Mo blinked her eyes desperately for a long time before she could react, she responded with a smile, and said, "I'll report back to the girl first, and make tea for the second master."

Tanchun was writing in the room, and when he heard Baoyu coming, his hands stopped, snorted, and said in a diffuse voice, "Let him wait for me for a while."

I wrote two more sheets of paper in it, and just after washing my hands, I looked at Baoyu with a slight smile: "I'm still the second elder brother and won't talk to me in this life."

At present, Tanchun was wearing a homely pink skirt and jacket, but also covered with a light blue double-breasted long trousers. Seeing that Baoyu felt guilty for a while, he couldn't help but lower his head.

Seeing his gaze, Tanchun glanced at his clothes, laughed at himself, sat down gracefully, and said, "Second brother, don't worry, I'm different from fourth sister, I just dress plain, but I won't develop any heart for Buddha. The thought of abandoning the world."

Baoyu sighed softly and murmured: "The world is dirty, it's better to go back..."

Tanchun laughed and asked, "We've all gone back. Who will take care of the grandmother? Who will sacrifice to the ancestors at four seasons? Who will take care of the wealth and lives of the big family?!"

Every word and every sentence was asked on Baoyu's face, but Baoyu said nothing.

When Tanchun just came back from the palace a few days ago, he really wanted to talk to Baoyu.But Baoyu avoided her every day.But now because of what happened in the restaurant, Tanchun's mind has been completely distracted by this urgent matter, and he doesn't bother to talk to Baoyu at all.So as soon as Baoyu showed such an expression, Tanchun turned around and called out, "Come, change clothes."

Baoyu knew that Tanchun was annoyed, and hurriedly said: "Third sisters, I have already told them to tell the old lady that the two of us will not go for lunch today. Dear sister, I know you have more of this family than me in your heart. I wanted to have a good chat with you."

Only then did Tanchun raise his eyebrows, and turned to look at him: "What does Second Brother want to talk about?"

Baoyu sighed and said, "On the day I came back from Beifu, someone told me that you were looking for me. Of course I know why..."

Tanchun immediately knew that he had guessed well. It was Baoyu who came back to tell Jia Mu about celebrating Baochai's birthday. His face was a little more annoyed, but he asked Baoyu, "What is that for?"

Baoyu was silent for a while, then Fang whispered: "Eldest Sister handed over a message from the palace to treat Sister Bao favorably. It was nothing, but the news was told to me face to face by the King of the North..."

Tanchun sneered, and placed the teacup on the table with care.

Baoyu's face showed unprecedented sadness: "But I can't change anything... I persuaded the master that it is not the way for the king of the north to act like a courtier, but the master said that I was more pedantic than his treats, and that I You should follow Yucun and others to learn from the changes in the world, so that you can be an official and support the family business in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Tanchun hurriedly asked, "Didn't Jia Yucun go to Jinling? Did he come back?"

Baoyu frowned again, turned his face away slightly, eyes full of disgust: "A year ago, because my uncle was tired and had to save his capital, he returned to Beijing. The master said that he is waiting for a vacancy in Beijing, and he is close to ten. He is an important position."

Jia Tanchun remembered that Mrs. Wang Ziteng sent Zhou Rui's family to Jinling, and handed them all over to Jia Yucun to take care of them. But this snobbish person who had already connected with his family and claimed to be Jia Zhengzong's nephew, was now under Wang Ziteng's eyes. is already so important—

"I just don't know, in the future, if something goes wrong with Mr. Jia, who was dismissed for being greedy, will the master clean up the mess for him, or uncle?" Jia Tanchun couldn't bear it anymore. Finally, he spoke sarcasm.
