Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

It took Xichun a long time to know what happened in Rongguo Mansion. At that time, almost the whole capital knew that the first and second rooms of Rongguo Mansion had torn their faces. It was only because of Jia's mother that they didn't make a complete fuss.

Jia Lian and his wife still lived in the original courtyard, but they heard people say that they would move after Wang Xifeng recovered, while Jia She, Xing Shi and Yingchun moved into Lixiangyuan.

Lixiangyuan, the place where Jia Daishan died, was sealed away on weekdays, and it was not opened until now, with a new owner.

The first thing Jia Amnesty did after moving into Lixiangyuan was to find someone to build the wall.

He separated Lixiangyuan from Rongguo Mansion!

According to the news from the servants, Lixiangyuan was originally in a corner of Rongguo Mansion, and there was a special door for entering and exiting. Now Jia She has built the wall, leaving only a small door leading to Rongguo Mansion. Let people keep watch at all times, and Jia She never goes through the gate of Rongguo Mansion when he comes in and out on weekdays!

Not only that, Jia Amnesty also once hung a plaque on the entrance and exit door of Lixiangyuan, which was inscribed with the first-class general's mansion!

In the end, the plaque only hung for half a day before it was taken down under the force of Jia Mu, but because of this, everyone in Beijing knew about the Rongguo Mansion.

Xichun originally listened with gusto, but soon she lost interest in listening, because she fell into dire straits.

The reason is still Jia Jing's sentence that day, someone came to teach Xichun what not to say.

On the second day, Xichun was woken up by someone. As soon as she opened her eyes, Mother Jiang said to her: "Sister Xi, get up quickly, the person who teaches you is already waiting outside."

Looking at the misty sky outside the window, Xichun said, "...Oh."

Jia Sanliu, Jia Jing's bodyguard, who taught Xichun, looked about forty years old, with a smile on his face, and looked very peaceful. According to Jia Jing, Jia Sanliu was good at inquiring about news.

Xichun also noticed this.

Because after being taught by Jia Sanliu for a few days, she still couldn't remember what Jia Sanliu looked like!

Not only her, but everyone in her yard had the impression of Jia Sanliu as male, in his forties, and a peaceful man. If they were asked to talk about what Jia Sanliu looked like and what characteristics he had, they would say not coming out.

Xichun was also very curious about how Jia Sanliu did it, since he obviously didn't look like a public face.

So one day she asked directly.

Jia Sanliu still laughed, "These are just tricks."

Jia Sanliu asked Xichun, "Have the county lords seen those tricks on the street? In fact, it's similar to these tricks, which is to divert the other party's attention."

Xichun understood somewhat, and nodded slowly.

Seeing that Xichun understood, Jia Sanliu smiled deeper, "If we want to distinguish a person from the crowd, where do we usually start?"

Xichun thought for a while and replied: "Appearance, body shape, habits, voice, and smell."

Jia Sanliu said: "The county lord is smart."

Jia Sanliu said again: "But the county lord needs to remember that these things can be changed. Sometimes, we can still judge by our intuition."

Xichun nodded, indicating that she has been educated.

Jia Sanliu is also good at ventriloquism, and Xichun has been tossed by this a lot.

After Jia Sanliu told Xichun what to say and what not to say, Xichun became confused.

For example, Jia Sanliu asked, if the county lord saw a vision, for example, when he went to offer incense and saw a golden light flashing from the head of the Buddha, would the county lord say it?

Xichun thought about it and said, yes.

This kind of phenomenon is so rare. I used to like, comment, and forward one-stop when I saw it on the Internet.

But Jia Sanliu's expression didn't change, Xichun hesitated again, recalled the environment she was in now, and said hesitantly, then...don't say?

Jia Sanliu shook her head and said, this can be said.

Jia Sanliu asked again, if the county lord dreamed of a bodhisattva smiling at you, would the county lord say it?

Thinking of the previous answer, Xichun firmly said, Say!

So Jia Sanliu shook his head again and said, County Lord, this cannot be said.

Xichun: ...

Is there something wrong with your logic? !

Anyway, after being taught like this for several days, Xichun decided that she should talk less, after all, less talk and less mistakes.

Jia Sanliu also thought it was good, so she began to train Xichun to talk less.

For example, when Xichun was reading, Jia Sanliu would come in in a low voice, leaning over to her side and asking, "Sister Xi, what book are you reading? Do you want to take a break and have some snacks? Be careful not to be tired."

Xichun raised her head subconsciously and smiled, "Mom, I'm not tired..."

The latter words were swallowed back by Xichun, because the person standing in front of her was not the gentle and kind mother Jiang, but Jia Sanliu, who laughed so hard that one couldn't help but slap her.

Yes, every time Jia Sanliu would suddenly ask her something in the voice of a familiar person beside her when she was not paying attention.

Then change the sound of footsteps, change the smell of incense on your body, and pay attention to where you stand. In short, if Xichun doesn't look up and look at people, she won't be able to recognize who they are.

Jia Sanliu's insanity is not only that, Xichun has been told by Jia Sanliu several times when she was half asleep and half awake, asking her what dreams she had and so on.

From then on, when Xichun looked at Jia Sanliu again, she didn't feel that Jia Sanliu was amiable at all, and the smile on his face made people want to slap him.

In Jia Sanliu's high-intensity training, Xichun quickly adapted to it. The specific performance is that she doesn't talk so much. Even if someone asks her, she has to look up at the other person to confirm it before speaking.

When Jia Sanliu finally said that Xichun had passed the test and that it was time for him to go back, Xichun and the maids in the yard couldn't wait to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

That's right, Jia Sanliu also took this opportunity to teach the maids in Xichun's courtyard, after all, it is more important for servants to keep their mouths in check.

Xichun didn't know how Jia Sanliu taught the maids, but judging from the maids' reactions, the teaching methods were probably not very gentle.

When Jia Sanliu left, Xichun only felt that the sky was bluer, the grass was greener, and the food was more delicious than before.

But Jia Jing didn't think so.

Listening to Jia Sanliu's return, Jia Jing felt that his previous thinking was too simple.

Listen to what Jia Sanliu has to say.

The county gentleman is very smart, and he knows many things, but... he is too smart.

Jia Jing asked how he knew she was smart?

Jia Sanliu said: The county gentleman loves to read, and when reading, he will mark some places where he has doubts, and ask others, and he will ask about some interesting things on weekdays, and he will try to do it himself.

Then Jia Sanliu took out a few books from his pocket and asked Jia Jing to read them.

As soon as Jia Jing opened the book, he saw the marks made by Xichun himself, such as the pronunciation and meaning of some words, and some circled paragraphs or words.

Jia Jing roughly flipped through the circled part of Xichun, and found that it was all about sightseeing, such as where he saw a local specialty in this article, and there was a strange phenomenon in that article.

Jia Jing flipped through the book again, and found a piece of folded paper from the book. He opened it and saw that there were zigzag lines of different shades drawn on it.

Even though it was full of mistakes and omissions, Jia Jing recognized it at a glance. It was a map.

There are also various small patterns drawn on the map, combined with the paragraphs circled by Xichun before, Jia Jing can roughly guess what those patterns represent.

Jia Jing took a deep breath.

He knew that Xichun was smart, but he just thought that the other party would mature earlier and learn things faster, but he didn't know that Xichun's intelligence was completely different.

Jia Jing asked Jia Sanliu, "Sister Xi, what questions do you like to ask on weekdays?"

Jia Sanliu replied: "How did the oil we eat on weekdays come from? Is there any other oil? Where did this kind of fish come from? In the river? In the sea? Is it far from us? Why are the clothes on your body so expensive? Yes Because is it difficult to make? Winter is coming, will there still be vegetables and fruits at home? How to grow them? I will also ask some maids who are sold in what kind of life they live at home, and how they are sold in ..."

"Okay." Jia Jing interrupted Jia Sanliu, "I see."

Jia Sanliu obediently shut up.

Jia Jing closed the book and carefully restored it to an untouched state.

Jia Jing asked again, "How did you find out about this?"

Jia Sanliu replied: "I heard the county lord ask these questions by chance before, and thought it was interesting, so I paid more attention to it. Later, I heard the county lord ask why other oils are not used. The cloth is so difficult to weave. Why don't you think of a way to turn the loom Change it..."

"That's when I realized something was wrong, and I started to really pay attention." Jia Sanliu paused, and continued: "Then I noticed that the county lord loves to read, but sometimes he likes to avoid people when he reads, so the maids are not allowed to read books." Get close, and after reading the book, I will also put the book away, put it in my own small box and lock it, and keep the key by myself."

Hearing this sentence, Jia Jing's first thought was that it was okay, and he knew how to hide it.

Jia Jing handed the book to Jia Sanliu again, and Jia Sanliu carefully put it in his arms.

He secretly took it out and had to put it back as it was.

Jia Jing asked again: "Are there any other problems these days?"

Jia Sanliu hesitated for a moment and said, "After several days of study, the county lord will no longer say those words easily."

Jia Jing nodded.

This is also what he and Jia Sanliu discussed. Their initial purpose was to make Xichun be cautious. After all, it is too difficult for a child to tell whether to say something in different situations.

Jia Sanliu continued: "But master...the county lord seems...to be too lenient to his servants."

Jia Jing frowned now.

Jia Sanliu said that Xichun was too lenient to his servants, so there must be other meanings.

Jia Sanliu gritted her teeth, and said the rest, "The county lord is lenient to the people below, and has no respect for the people above."

This is straightforward.

Jia Jing was silent for a while, and then said, "It's obvious what she did?"

Jia Sanliu didn't answer directly: "During the time when the servant was teaching the county lord, Madam Shang also took the opportunity to let the county lord practice speaking into the eyes of the people who came."

Jia Jing sighed.

He stretched out his hand to Jia Sanliu, "Give me those books, I'll send them back to Sister Xi myself at night."

Jia Sanliu also heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately took out the book again, handed it to Jia Jing, and backed out immediately.

Jia Jing opened the book, read it carefully again, and finally stared at the map in a daze.
