By Jia Xiuzhen

When Qinghe came back, everyone went to Jiamu's room first to gather together. Jiamu asked some details about it, and they were all full of praise.He also said that they were also tired this day, so they were asked to go back and rest.Mrs. Wang was left behind and asked her, "Ask the people who followed, what can you say?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly replied: "I heard that there are more than 60 daughters from each family who went back this time. It is rumored that I want to pick some of them to go in and study."

Jia Mu nodded and smiled, "That's good. Men only talk about the big things they do outside, so they don't know the skills of the back house. So many things are coming to an end, handkerchief handing over is probably much more effective than their colleagues of the same age!"

Mrs. Wang said: "The old lady said so."

Jia Mu said: "If one or two can be selected, it will be an extra boost. I think the empress in the palace should have mentioned this to you."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "I said it twice, but I only said that even the palace's face is not good there."

Jia Mu nodded and smiled without saying a word.

He also said that Jia Lian had only been back from Ping'an Prefecture for more than half a month, and Jia Amnesty called him in a hurry and asked him to go again.Jia Lian said: "Let the son go back around October..."

Jia She said angrily: "That was then, and what is in front of you is in front of you! Hurry up and take this document to him, and come back after you get the letter. If he doesn't give you an answer, you just wait there and just quietly ask people to come back." Come back and tell me that you must not leave there, remember?!"

Jia Lian quickly agreed, and had to say goodbye to Sister Feng, and stayed with Second Sister You for two days before leaving for the north.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the city gate, he bumped into Liu Xianglian, said hello, and the two walked side by side.Jia Lian said with a smile: "I heard that idiot Xue shouted to buy you a house and marry a wife before. Why are you leaving now?"

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "Although they only think about the good things now, after all, I have offended him before. It would be boring to be thanked by his family. It just so happens that there are good friends in the north who are recruiting, so it's good to take a trip here. .”

Jia Lian praised: "Don't talk about other things, but you are so comfortable, I have seen no one can compare with it."

When they got to the fork in the road ahead, they rested in the pavilion before saying goodbye and going on their own way.But I saw a sloppy Taoist priest coming out from the side, grabbed Liu Xianglian and said: "You bastard who doesn't know what to do! Give me back my baby!"

Jia Lian was startled when he heard this, so he glanced at the Taoist priest, and after thinking about it, he quickly recovered and laughed beside himself.

Liu Xianglian took out a mirror-shaped object from the horse's bag, threw it to the Taoist priest and said, "I thought you didn't want it, but luckily I didn't throw it for you."

The Taoist took a look at the thing and knew something was wrong, and grabbed Liu Xianglian again and said, "You, where did you get the things in me?!"

Liu Xianglian frowned: "I said, what did you do this for? It turned out that you wanted to blackmail people. This broken mirror of yours is still inside and outside? Get out early, don't make me angry, if you don't see that you are a monk , I have already served you with fists!"

The Taoist figured it out for a while, his face turned bitter, he let go but still asked: "I don't think it's because of you, tell me, who has ever taken this thing?"

Liu Xianglian smiled: "Why, I can't make money here, and you still want to change roles? Let me tell you, it was the son of the Duke's mansion who picked it up to play for two days. How are you doing? You still have the ability to enter the mansion Is the door not working?"

The old Taoist's complexion changed, and Liu Xianglian ignored him. She just said goodbye to Jia Lian and drove away.Jia Lian saw that this old man seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember what happened, and thought he was dazzled.With a yell, he took the little servant and the chief to follow them all the way.

Everyone walked away, and at some point, another monk appeared on the side of the road, approached the Taoist priest and said with a smile: "You are also interesting, you boy, after he goes back to settle the debt, it is not too late for you to settle the matter with him today. I said, you should have held on a little longer, if you can tell him to punch you twice, it will be interesting to talk about it in the future."

The old Taoist glanced at him, and said sternly: "It's really evil. The damned one didn't die, and the one who should be enlightened won't be enlightened! Originally, he would be able to get rid of it at this moment and save decades of suffering. It’s good to go down, let’s endure it. If the dust is too heavy, it’s impossible to re-enter reincarnation, alas!”

He said again, "This is one of them, and another one. The demon spirit sealed in my mirror has disappeared. Of course he doesn't have this ability. I made a lot of calculations, but I couldn't figure it out, so I asked him. But it was the same as that A rock stuck together."

The monk wondered: "Impossible? The stone was covered in dust when I saw it before, so how could it have such magic power? Besides, even if it has that ability, well, let the demon spirit do what."

The old man sneered and said, "What are you doing? Since it is alive, if it can refine the demon spirit, it will be of great benefit to yourself?"

The monk said: "Although this is the case, it is not necessarily the case. I don't think the stone is capable of this. If you are worried, we will go and have a look."

The old Taoist held on to the trick of secret luck in the mirror for half a day, and said with a wry smile, "No need, we should avoid it now." After touching the mirror, all that Baoyu saw that day appeared on it, and said, "The people in Chixia Palace have already recognized it. I'm afraid it will be regarded as us abandoning our foreword and hindering Shenying's calamity. Forget it, the luck is bad, and the old man will admit it."

When the monk saw this, he thought it was Baoyu who forcibly activated the magic weapon without the permission of the owner of the weapon, exhausting the spirit power of the demon.It's just that this thing was originally taken by the old Taoist to ferry the Tong'er who was born in his own family, but it was in the hands of Shenying's reincarnation.Even though the facts are true, it's hard to justify the fact that there is no basis for it, and the Chixia Palace is not a place for reason, so I have no choice but to swallow the dark loss in front of me.

The two real culprits in Jia's mansion are still waiting for someone to come to find trouble - one thinks that if someone provokes me, I will fight back, and my mother will naturally not be able to tell my fault; Those who don't know how capable they are, if they can't beat them, how can they run away... It's a pity that they haven't received any letter after waiting for a long time, it's really disappointing.

After the Qinghe meeting, the academy invited two more people, but there were only posts about welcoming spring and cherishing spring, everyone was surprised.Xiangyun said with a smile: "Is it a place to study, or a place to practice Zen and enlightenment? You two are blessed. If there is something interesting, remember to come back and tell us a few."

In the evening, Daiyu talked to Nanny Xin, and Nanny Xin laughed and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Xing should also be selected. It only takes a lot of money to get in and out seriously. I think it's because of this place. Besides, Miss Xing has settled with someone else, so she just let it go. Didn't you tell them about the girl?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "I was also in the honor of my father, and I didn't take it seriously to live there, so what do I do if I have nothing to say."

Mo Ge'er also said: "I got this letter first, and I'm still a Miss Shi, what kind of good things are I going to say. This time it's nothing, it's unexpected."

Gui Liu said: "I think she treats girls differently than before."

Daiyu said: "In the past, she only lived at home, and she didn't come here twice a year. Now she lives all year round. Naturally, it's different. She has also heard and seen the stories in it. We grow up again every year. Many things are naturally different from when I was a child."

Mo Ge'er laughed and said, "Second Miss and Fourth Miss are probably because of the previous painting. I heard that even the masters of the Chess Academy were alarmed. It's really fate."

Seeing that Madam Xin was silent, Daiyu asked her, "What do you think, Madam?"

Sister Xin sighed: "If the third girl is selected, I'm afraid there is some meaning, but now the second girl and the fourth girl are selected, I'm afraid it will be hard to say what will happen."

The rest of them didn't take these words to heart, they only thought that Madam Xin was overwhelmed.But I don't want to, after a few days, the other side of the academy really has nothing to say, although people are still sent from time to time to send letters to Yingchun Xichun, but there is no mention of inviting the two to study in the academy.Everyone was puzzled, and afraid that she and the two would be sad, so they all went to visit her several times to comfort her.Seeing that the expressions of Yingchun and Xichun are as usual, and there is no other expression, they are all relieved.

Only Mother Xin, who was in charge calmly, found out about the letter, and told Daiyu: "It is said that the academy sent a post to the mansion asking for study, but the mansion said that the second girl is going to choose someone to marry, and the fourth girl just didn't." I met my own father, but I didn’t agree to go, so I returned. Only the gentlemen from the Chess Academy and the Ziwei Pavilion both fell in love with him, and even though they couldn’t be recruited as students, they still sent people from the bottom to greet them.”

Daiyu was startled and said, "We didn't get any news from inside. Now that I've said that, I'm afraid the second and fourth sisters also know about this... Sigh."

Nanny Xin sighed: "It's plausible to put it on the bright side, even if you know it, you can't do anything about it."

Daiyu frowned and said, "Even if I don't care here, I don't take it seriously at Uncle's place, or Brother Dongfu Zhen's place. How many people can't ask for such an opportunity."

Mother Xin thought for a while and said, "Miss, do you remember that in the academy over there, besides the mind and talent, there is also a question about one's background? It is because most of the people who come and go with them are of high status. If there are common people among them, it is inevitable to make friends The other thing, look at the handwriting of Mr. Yunyang, since it has entered there, not to mention Shu Xiu, it is used for daily expenses, I am afraid it is not a small amount. Although this money is common, sometimes, No matter how elegant a person is, he has to stumble on this vulgar thing.

If you can go there for nothing, then you will get a letter or have something to say in those two places.Seeing that you have to spend thousands of taels of silver a year, who is willing to open this mouth?It's not enough for me to spend to my heart's content, who is willing to spend money on a girl who is not in front of me?Although the second girl and the fourth girl looked like they didn't care about everything on a daily basis, they knew it clearly in their hearts, so they naturally resigned to their fate. "

Daiyu thought for a long time, then sighed: "It's better to leave here early, and I will pay for the money for them. But with such a name, even if you want to help, you can't reach out."

Mother Xin laughed and said: "That's why the third girl often said that she wished she was a man, so she left here early in the morning to start a new business. Speaking of money, I heard that the second girl and the fourth girl invested in the grandmother's place in the early years I'm afraid they don't lack money, it's just that no one will give them this name."

Daiyu sighed again: "It's been a long time since Guiliu complained that being a daughter in this world is tied up, and I laughed at her frivolity, but it turned out that I was ignorant. It's really rare for this daughter to be a human being."

Sister Xin laughed and said, "How about saying 'Hundred years of suffering and happiness are left to others'!"

From then on, Daiyu and Yingchun got along with each other, and became more considerate. Yingchun noticed it and persuaded her: "Think about the benefits we have devoted ourselves to such a family. Sister Xing is the same, no one is wrong, everyone Knowing that her family is poor, she is not reconciled to coming to us? Don't you know that we are "beautiful on the outside but bitter on the inside"! My sister-in-law said "follow the law" before, and now I can get advice from the academy teacher from time to time. I am satisfied. You Hugh made a mistake and made up for us."

Daiyu sighed: "It was said that you are too soft-tempered, and you will inevitably suffer from a human face; now that you have learned a lot of tricks, you only think that you should improve by two points, but you are still the same, or even worse, and it looks even more horrible. It’s a lie. If learning those things just makes you blindly let others slaughter you, then it’s better not to learn.”

Yingchun laughed and said, "You are like 'a full man doesn't know a hungry man is hungry'. One thing, when my sister-in-law said it, you can understand it immediately, but we only remember it in our heads. I don't know how much work it will take to get it. Taste two points. Since I learned this, I know that the saying that life is short is true.

——The days of my life are not long, and my mental strength is limited. If I spend an extra hour on these trivial things, I will spend less time and energy on the things I really like.It's a point of loss if you care about it.These are all dispensable things in my opinion now, and they are not worth taking seriously.It's not that I just thought about calming things down and not annoying people in the past.Therefore, it may look and act the same, but the inner heart is completely different.You don't have to worry about me, I know the severity. "

Daiyu looked at her deeply, saw that her complexion was gentle and at ease, she was definitely not the cowardly and cowering image she used to be, so she sighed with a smile: "I finally judge others by myself. Sure enough, in this life, I always know whether I am warm or not. The metaphor of honey is not empty."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and talked about something else.
