Chapter 429 Knowing the Book and Dali, Gentle and Shuning
Rongguo Mansion, Baoyu Courtyard,
Since she was beaten the day before yesterday, Baoyu has been recuperating on the bed. It has been two days, and her pale and weak face has disappeared.
Baoyu turned to look at Sheyue, and sighed: "It's hard for you, I was beaten and confused that day, I didn't have to push the matter on you."
Sheyue put the golden medicine in her hand aside, forced a smile, turned around and picked up the teacup, poured tea, and said, "What is the second master talking about? Can I still hate the second master? It's just that the second master Don't offend Master in the future. Even if you don't like reading, even if it's pretending, you have to pretend to be reading. You can say that you like reading, so that Master and Wife can be happier. If you can't read, others can't tell. What is it?"
Baoyu stared blankly at Sheyue, feeling warm in his heart, and felt that the unpleasant words in the past were not so harsh.
At this moment, Qiuwen entered the room and said in a low voice: "Second Master, Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Third Miss, Miss Yun and Miss Lin are here to see Second Master."
Because of Baoyu's injury, several people were not able to come over two days ago. At this time, Baoyu's injury was more stable, and several people came to visit.
At this time, in the small hall outside, Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Daiyu opened the cotton curtain, entered the inner room, and looked at Baoyu lying on the soft couch.
"Brother Love." Xiangyun called out first, then approached, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Baoyu saw a crowd of warblers and swallows, mixed with all kinds of tangy aromas in the air, almost came from sadness, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister Yun, I'm fine, third sister, younger sister Lin, why are you here?" ?”
As she spoke, she cast her eyes on Daiyu's face, and felt that the face that was close to her in the past seemed much stranger. She met those bright autumn eyes and opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't Can't say a word.
Yuan Chun looked at Baoyu, smiled lightly, and said, "They come over to see you."
Several people sat down in the room one after another, they were all kind-hearted girls after all, they did not alienate and dislike Baoyu because of this, especially seeing Baoyu's miserable appearance, they couldn't bear it.
Xiangyun said: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, Brother Ai is injured, so it's not easy to go out and play hard together."
Baoyu sighed and said, "Master beat me hard this time."
At this time, Yuan Chun asked the maid in Baoyu's house to prepare melon and fruit refreshments, and said, "This time, I'm going to have a hard time and gain a lot of wisdom. When the injury is cured, I will go to school to study. Don't stay in the backyard. The master is there." I'm still angry now."
Thinking of Sheyue's advice, Baoyu hurriedly said, "That's what I thought. I'll go to study when my injury is healed."
Hearing this, Xiangyun covered his chest, and with a bright smile on Apple's round face, he said, "Amitabha, it seems that loving brother has really benefited me this time."
When Yuanchun heard the words, Yanmei's face was equally overjoyed. God is pitiful, how rare it is to be able to say such words from Baoyu's mouth.
"You're right to think so." Yuan Chun said softly.
Only Daiyu and Tanchun looked at each other, and they both saw a bit of "insincere words" in each other's eyes.
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. If you change your nature with a single beating, there will be fewer unscrupulous and rebellious people in the world.
Now Xiren followed a group of maidservants, standing behind the Fen Dai Jinchai, leaning against the curtain, hearing the words, frowned, looked at the young man lying on the bed, shook his head secretly, thinking, "Two What kind of temperament is the master, it is impossible to change it just because of a beating... This is probably taught by Musk Moon."
Seeing the "overjoyed" appearance of her sisters and sisters around her, Baoyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took a peek at Sheyue, and thought to herself, these words are really useful.
Everyone talked for a while.
Baoyu asked with a smile: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, did the ancestors say there is any arrangement?"
Tanchun said: "It's Lian's second sister-in-law who manages it. There are banquets in the two mansions on the left and right. The old ancestor is not in good health and doesn't want to go there. He wants to hold some banquets in the West mansion and entertain a few female relatives of the same clan."
In fact, it was because of Baoyu's matter that Jia's mother was very angry when she saw that Jia Zheng was very angry. She didn't sleep for two nights, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
Baoyu sighed, "I'm afraid I can't go."
"It's okay, let Musk Moon lead you up to the attic and watch the fireworks." Yuan Chun said softly.
Baoyu nodded.
Tanchun said: "Today, I saw Ping'er and heard from her that Lian's second sister-in-law and Brother Heng discussed the matter of repairing the garden after the mansion last year. A big garden."
Baoyu frowned, her heart moved, and she asked, "The third younger sister said that the garden is going to be repaired in the mansion?"
If Yuanzi is with him, he is afraid that he will miss a lot of fun while studying in the school.
Thinking of this, I can't help but regret it, even if he bites the bullet and doesn't go to school, it won't be...
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel agitated.
Yuan Chun said: "Before, I also heard about such a thing."
Tanchun asked with a smile: "Eldest sister is in the princess mansion. If you want to come, the princess mansion is also a pavilion. Every step is a scene."
Yuan Chun said softly: "The Princess Mansion occupies a vast area with deep gardens, and the rules and regulations are quite different from our Duke's Home."
Tan Chunying's eyes flickered under his beautiful eyebrows, and he asked: "I don't know what kind of person is that eldest princess, such a noble person? Is she easy to get along with? Eldest sister should pass by in two days, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiangyun, Daiyu, and Yingchun all looked at Yuanchun, and even Baoyu looked over curiously.
Yuan Chun didn't know what to think of, Xue Ni's face flushed slightly, her voice trembled a little, and said: "Princess Jinyang, she..."
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the servant say: "Miss, my wife is here."
Not long after, Mrs. Wang came with a few nuns from the outside, looked at them, heard the salute, her indifferent expression eased a bit, turned her head to look at Baoyu, and said, "Is Baoyu better?"
Baoyu didn't dare to answer for a while, and said, "I'm fine now."
Mrs. Wang nodded, glanced at Sheyue, and said: "I won't say anything about you, take care of your wounds, the old lady and the master are not very happy because of your affairs."
Yuan Chun said: "Mom, Baoyu has improved a little bit, and just now he said to go back to school to study."
Madam Wang heard the words, her face showed joy, she looked around everyone and asked: "Did you really say that?"
Tanchun said softly, "We all heard it just now."
At this moment, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, she patted Baoyu on the shoulder, her eyes were kind and gentle, and she said: "My son, it can be seen that he has really grown up."
At this moment, Baoyu could only smile bitterly when he saw the expectant eyes around him.
After everyone had finished watching Baoyu, they also dispersed. Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun walked along the corridor, followed by a few maids and mothers-in-law.
"Big girl." Mrs. Wang turned to look at the young girl beside her, and asked, "Brother Heng, what's your idea, or is Baoyu going to kneel in the ancestral hall?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chun shook his head and said, "Brother Heng has made up his mind about this matter, and we cannot allow it to repeat itself."
Mrs. Wang's complexion changed, she sighed, and asked: "I just watched, your younger brother has also grown up now, if he kneels in the ancestral hall, it may hinder him from getting academic honors, go ask, Heng What is my brother's arrangement for Baoyu in the future? Is it civil or military? You can't really just let it go, can you?"
Yuan Chun frowned, sighed, feeling a bit depressed, and said, "Mom, I can only say, go and find out what Brother Heng thinks, I don't have much to say."
Although Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, she had no choice but to say: "Then let's find out what's going on first."
……
……
Before the application was made in the afternoon, Jia Heng withdrew and left the Jinyang Princess's mansion, fearing that Princess Xianning and the little princess would spot her, so she excused something and almost didn't meet her face to face, and went straight back home.
Because the point is so far, compared with the past, today is not as hearty as it is.
It was nearly the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the gates of the Ningguo Mansion, the eaves and courtyard columns, the curtains were beautiful, the lanterns were brilliant, and the candles were brightly lit. Male and female servants came in and out carrying various gifts.
After Jia Heng returned to the mansion, he just sat down in the outer study, reading the account books brought from the princess mansion, when his heart suddenly moved, he saw Qingwen twisting Yang Liu's waist, coming close, holding the teapot, pouring tea Tea, while asking: "My lord, why did you come back so early today?"
Jia Heng said: "There are not many yamen affairs today."
Qingwen approached and picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and suddenly smelled a scent and a certain familiar smell, Liu Ye frowned, handed the teacup over, and said: "Young master's body smells so heavy."
Jia Heng put down the account book, his face was calm, and he asked doubtfully, "Is there any? Maybe it's the smell of the sachet."
Qingwen curled her lips and said, "Master, let's take a bath and change clothes first, let people smell it carefully."
Jia Heng nodded, and said nonchalantly, "I have called people to prepare hot water."
In fact, it was very difficult to hide it from Qingwen. Whether it was the bloodstain on her back or the clues of her underwear, it was impossible for Qingwen to know something about people.
Qingwen pursed her pink lips, hesitated to speak, and said: "The son's recent officials have become bigger and bigger. I didn't care about the outside affairs, but the eldest grandma is gentle and kind. People often say , it is not easy to have a wife if you are rich, and it is not easy to make friends if you are expensive. In short, my son... just know what you have in mind."
Hearing this, Jia Heng was silent for a moment, raised her eyes to look at Qingwen, and looked at the girl's melon-seeded face, which was becoming more and more charming. It seemed that the greenness had faded, and the eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows were crystal clear and bright.
Qingwen met those calm eyes, thought Jia Heng was angry, and felt a little flustered in her heart, and said embarrassingly: "If you don't like to hear, my lord, just pretend that I didn't say it."
Jia Heng smiled and said comfortingly: "Why don't you like to listen, it can be seen that my family, Qingwen, has really grown up and is sensible."
Qingwen was able to speak for Keqing, he was surprised, but also somewhat pleased.
Qingwen's heart was slightly settled, but when she met the sudden "like a father, like a brother" gaze, she felt a little ashamed, turned her head, and said: "My lord has always treated me like a child."
Jia Heng smiled and said nothing.
Qingwen snorted softly. "
While the master and servant were talking, a servant girl came from the outside and said, "The young lady from Xifu is here."
Jia Heng was stunned for a moment, then put down the account book, guessing that Yuan Chun probably came for Baoyu, and whispered to the maid, "Go and lead her to the east wing, I will go there after taking a bath and changing clothes."
Under Qingwen's service, Jia Heng took a bath in the wing room, then changed into a brocade robe, and came to the east wing study.
At this time, Yuan Chun was wearing a pale red hibiscus-patterned collar jacket and a white Ru skirt, which had been ready for quite a while.
The young girl, with a look of uneasiness on her plump, snowy face, was twisting a handkerchief in her fibrous hand, looking out the window at the bamboo forest and rocks.
At that time, it was just late in the evening, the setting sun shone among the green bamboos and rocks, and it was extremely quiet, but in the girl's eyes, there was a sense of bleakness.
Suddenly, a faint sigh sounded.
Yuan Chun withdrew his eyes, turned his eyes to look at the desk, his eyes passed through the hanging brush, and landed on the sandalwood chair with the back, in a trance, thinking about the appearance of the boy studying here.
Two days have passed since Baoyu was beaten, and she doesn't know how to face Brother Heng.
"If I come here on weekdays, Brother Heng will come here the first time, but now he is clearly unfamiliar." Yuan Chun thought about it, and when he thought of this, his heart suddenly felt a pain for no reason.
It's clearly a matter of gain and loss.
At this moment, upon hearing the sound of light footsteps, Yuan Chun's complexion suddenly changed, he got up quickly, and looked towards the prestige, only to see a tall and tall young man in a stone blue long gown, with his hair tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin. With Zhang Ruhanyu's cold face, his expression was like an ancient well without waves, and he walked in.
"Brother Heng." Yuan Chun called out, and her heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley. In the past, she was like a peony stamen, and her rosy face was now as white as the sun, with clear eyes.
Jia Heng nodded and said, "Big sister is here, please sit down."
With that said, he found a chair, sat down straight away, and signaled Qingwen to leave.
Seeing that the man had no smile lines on his face and his voice was indifferent, Yuan Chun bit his lower lip with white teeth, his hands and feet were already icy cold.
While lifting the teapot to pour tea, Jia Heng raised his eyes and asked, "Big sister, is this here?"
Yuan Chun said softly, "Come here...to see Brother Heng."
As she spoke, meeting those warm eyes, her voice gradually became weaker, and she murmured: "Brother Heng, I..."
Jia Heng picked up the teacup, took a sip, then said in a low voice, "If it's still for Baoyu to avoid kneeling in the ancestral hall, big sister, please go back."
When Yuan Chun heard the words, her tender body seemed to be killed by lightning, and she looked at the young man in a daze, almost unbelievable.
Because this is the person opposite, and it was the first time to give her an "exit order". In the past, he was always soft-spoken, even reluctant to say a word, but now he is so... impatient?
That's right, she knew that he must have annoyed her, annoyed that she didn't understand the general situation, that she was too used to Baoyu the day before yesterday, and couldn't understand his difficulties.
The girl Qiong had a sore nose, her face was pale, her eyes were blurred with tears at some point, she turned her head quickly, feeling dizzy and lost, she said in a low voice, "Brother Heng...excuse me."
Said, got up and left.
Jia Heng sensed something was wrong, looked at Yuan Chun who was leaving Qianying in a panic, got up, and asked, "It's fine, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Did Yuan Chun take Daiyu's script these two days?Tears are falling at every turn, dejected.
Feeling his hand being pulled, Yuan Chun stayed where he was, turned his head to look at the young man, and in his blurred vision, he seemed to see a look of pity. For a moment, his heart was full of sadness and joy, and he murmured: "Brother Heng."
Jia Heng reassured: "Eldest sister, the matter of Baoyu is over in the past, and elder sister doesn't have to bring it up again and again."
As he spoke, he handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe away your tears. If you go out like this, you don't know how outsiders will misunderstand you."
But seeing what I said, the girl didn't take the handkerchief, the tears still couldn't stop, like broken pearls, falling down, it turned out to be a round and smooth face, the tears were crystal clear, and the pear blossoms were raining.
Jia Heng frowned, her heart moved slightly, but she realized that the tears were no longer for Baoyu.
Thinking of this, his face paused, and he approached.
He picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears from his snow-skinned face, and sighed softly: "I didn't blame my eldest sister. My eldest sister and Baoyu love each other like mother and child, but care is chaotic. I have been away from home for so many years, and I love you so much when I come back this time." He also has it... The eldest sister is actually the good sister who is knowledgeable, polite, gentle and gentle in my eyes."
Really echoed Baoyu's words, daughters are flesh and blood made of water, and Baoyu's own sister is no exception, water... more tears.
He felt that behind him, he seemed to be coaxing a child.
Hearing the young man's words, Yuan Chun's heart was shaken, his teeth clenched his lower lip, he raised his teary eyes, fixedly looked at the young man, met that warm gaze, suddenly lost his mind, barged in, and murmured in a sobbing voice: "Brother Heng, brother Heng, it's all my... bad, it's my fault."
In Brother Heng's eyes, it turns out that she has always been knowledgeable, gentle and gentle...
Seeing the sudden breakdown of emotions and the girl holding her, Jia Heng couldn't help being stunned, so she put her arms around Yuan Chun's trembling snowy shoulders, and said in relief: "Okay, I didn't blame you before, didn't we say that Well, Baoyu will discipline him well from now on, let him go to school, and wait two years to see what happens, you just trust me."
"Yeah." Yuan Chun responded softly, holding the young man's shoulders now, listening to the familiar soft words in his ears, the guilt, grievance and anxiety of the past two days were released at once, and he lay on Jia Heng's shoulder gently Sobbing.
Jia Heng had no choice but to let Yuan Chun soothe his emotions, patted his back lightly, coaxed him like a child, and said, "Okay, don't cry, I just got the account book from the eldest princess's mansion, and I want my eldest sister to show it to me." Woolen cloth."
