Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

On the second day, Xichun was stunned for a long time after hearing the news.

Mother Jiang sighed softly, "Grandma finally understands."

The tone is indescribably complicated.

Xichun pursed her lips, and was stopped by Madam Hu just as she got up, "Does the county lord want to visit grandma?"

Xichun nodded.

Hu Nanny said softly: "The county gentleman is smart, so he naturally understands that Grandma doesn't want others to disturb her, why should we bother Grandma's cleanliness?"

Mother Hu said again: "Actually, the county lord doesn't have to worry about grandma, grandma is a blessed one."

Blessed?

Xichun inexplicably felt the irony.

She can see Youshi's personality clearly, he has no heart, and is a bit stupid, and his sincerity towards her is only one or two points.

But sometimes when she looks at You Shi, she thinks of herself.

When Youshi married into Jia's mansion, it was as if she came here suddenly.

At the beginning, I went on the rampage relying on my cleverness, but in the end I was safe, partly because I was lucky, but more because someone was protecting her. If Jia Jing hadn't shown her cards to her a few days ago, she would probably still be complacent .

But You Shi didn't have her own luck, and no one protected her.

Xichun couldn't help asking: "Where is the blessing?"

Hu Nanny glanced at her, with a rare envy in her eyes, "Grandma's luck is to marry into Jia's family."

Xichun instantly understood what Nanny Hu meant, her hands under the book grabbed her clothes tightly, and a bit of sadness emerged in her heart.

She nodded, and slowly let go of her clothes, "Mother Hu, continue to teach me how to read."

Xichun was depressed for two days, and it was not until she received Lin Daiyu's reply that she cheered up again.

Xichun opened the envelope with great interest and unfolded the letter paper. First of all, she felt that although Lin Daiyu was only one year older than her now, the handwriting was already so good - in Xichun's opinion.

Then, Xichun realized that she could only understand half of the letter.

Xichun: ...

Finally, with the help of Madam Hu, Xichun finally fully understood Lin Daiyu's reply.

Sister Lin said that I was very happy to receive the letter from Sister Xichun. Although I have never met Sister Xichun, judging from the letter, my sister must be a lively, smart and lovely girl. If they meet in the future, they will definitely get along very well. .

Xichun: Beautiful.jpg

Then Sister Lin said, I have seen your paintings, and the paintings are quite childlike. I believe that my sister has an excellent talent in painting.

Now Xichun was amazed, as for the abstract painting she painted with stick figures, Lin Daiyu could not only understand her meaning, but also her talent for painting?

Madam Hu sighed, "The county magistrate is young now, if he is still interested in painting when he grows up, then he should learn from Mr.

Thinking of the day when she saw Xichun's paintings, Mammy Hu always felt uncomfortable and flustered, and the expression on her face became weird.

Xichun also understood now that Sister Lin was comforting herself, and suddenly felt a little guilty, and couldn't help coughing dryly, "Nurse, what's going on behind?"

Hu Nanny also came back to her senses, and continued to explain to her.

Sister Lin said that she couldn't fully understand her paintings at first, so she went to her mother, and only then did she fully understand the meaning of the paintings.

Xichun painted three paintings in total, two of which depicted the personnel composition of the Jia family's eastern and western mansions.

Xichun was also particularly scheming, painting Jia Mu and Erfang together, and painting the eldest room on the other side. When painting Jia Baoyu, she also drew a few larger girls around him, and wrote around them those maids who waited on Baoyu. .

There is also a painting, the first half of Xichun draws three smiling little girls, holding hands, with the names of three springs written on their heads, and the lower half is three stick figures kicking shuttlecocks.

Cough, of course, those three stick figures also have the names of three springs written on them.

Xichun didn't miss the blank space next to it, and drew some other things on it, such as books, rice bowls, etc., which roughly introduced her daily life.

Xichun didn't know that these paintings of hers had a huge influence on Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu has been in poor health since she was a child, and Jia Min didn't dare to take her out casually, so now that Lin Daiyu is four years old, she doesn't have any friends to play with. One can imagine Lin Daiyu's surprise after receiving Xichun's letter.

Lin Daiyu, who lost her younger brother, has always felt a sense of loneliness and is always depressed on weekdays. Xichun's letter let her know that she is not alone. She has other sisters and brothers. Although they are not biological, they are also related by blood. Moreover, Lin Daiyu was very keenly aware from Lin Ruhai's attitude that her parents wanted her to have a sincere relationship with Xichun and others.

Of course, this group of people does not include Jia Baoyu.

In the painting of Tuo Xichun, Jia Min became very angry when he saw the maidservants surrounding Jia Baoyu.

Jia Min didn't know that this was Xichun's careful trick, she only thought that a child like Xichun could understand Jia Baoyu's maids, and she said in the letter that her second elder brother often played with them and the maids, which shows that Jia Baoyu is always there. The inner curtains are messing around.

Thinking of the age at which Jia Baoyu should be entering school now, Jia Min instantly sketched the appearance of an absurd swinger in his mind.

Thinking back to what Lin Ruhai said to her before, whenever Jia Min thinks that Mother Jia wants her daughter to marry such a person to help her second brother's family in the future, she will feel dark in front of her eyes!

So Jia Min began to instill in Lin Daiyu the idea of ​​staying away from Jia Baoyu indiscriminately.

Lin Daiyu has a new sister like Xichun, so she just thinks that everything is fresh and interesting, so she read Xichun's paintings several times.

After Xichun drew a book, she knew that Xichun had started to learn to read, and she took out the book she had just started to read.

Xichun drew a big bowl, she was startled, and asked her mother if Xichun had so many snacks, would her stomach be overstretched.

Jia Min looked at the more cheerful Lin Daiyu, and felt relieved, and secretly made up his mind to send more gifts to Jia's East Mansion this year.

Lin Daiyu also understood that Xichun and the other three sisters were kicking shuttlecocks together, so she asked someone to bring a shuttlecock over and practiced kicking shuttlecocks herself.

At the beginning, she was out of breath after only a few kicks, but gradually, Lin Daiyu could kick a dozen or so in one go.

Lin Daiyu also wrote in the letter that she will try her best to kick better, and when they meet in the future, they can play shuttlecock together.

In the end, Lin Daiyu asked Xichun to say hello to Yingchun Tanchun on her behalf, and said that she asked her father to bring some gadgets from Yangzhou City with the letter for them to play with, and at the same time looked forward to her reply.

There are also two paintings in Lin Daiyu's letter, one of which depicts a three or four-year-old girl kicking a shuttlecock.

The little girl in the painting is undoubtedly Lin Daiyu.

Xichun immediately took a closer look, wanting to know what Lin Daiyu looks like now.

However... This painting is obviously drawn by an adult, and it is of the freehand style. The innocence and liveliness of the little girl kicking the shuttlecock is vivid on the paper, but the little girl's appearance is not carefully drawn.

Xichun secretly regretted it, but soon cheered up again.

It doesn't matter!She will always have a chance to meet Sister Lin in the future!Then she can see real people!

Xichun put this painting away carefully, and then opened another painting, which was full of detailed annotations on the special products of Yangzhou sent by Lin Daiyu this time.

When Xichun saw her, she asked someone to open the two boxes that came with the letter, and looked at the paintings one by one.

Lin Daiyu prepared very carefully, and prepared three copies of everything.

Xichun asked people to send a copy to Yingchun and Tanchun. Yingchun said it was from Lin Daiyu, but Tanchun hesitated for a while, and finally told Lidong: "Be careful, when you arrive at the third sister's Take a look first, if it looks okay, then say it was sent by Sister Lin, if... Forget it, let’s tell the truth, just remember to give Third Sister a word, don’t say it casually.”

Lidong should be, and retreated.

After Lidong retreated, Madam Hu said to Xichun: "Why did the county lord do this? You can clearly explain it generously and send it over." By doing so, he fell to the bottom.

Xichun shook her head, "Second Tang Shu and the others don't like it." Tanchun can still live in Wang's place now, if because of this incident, Jia Baoyu knows that she has another younger sister who is crazy, and she lives in the east. Mansion, but Tanchun was under Wang's nose.

Hu Nanny was suspicious in her heart and stopped talking.

Xichun was silent for a while, and then said to Madam Hu, "Mommy, write the letter for me."

Xichun saw that Madam Hu had finished writing the letter, and asked about the special food items in Beijing that could be given away for a long time, and sent someone to buy a bunch of them back, and followed Lin Daiyu's example, drawing carefully, Annotated.

After finishing the painting for Lin Daiyu, Xichun looked at the brush and ink spread out in front of her, and simply drew a few more paintings, and asked Mammy Hu to help write another letter, and sealed it together for Jinyue to send.

It was almost evening when Jin Yue received the letter. After Jin Yue asked the time, she ran excitedly to Jin Han's yard, "Brother! Brother!"

Jin Han had just finished practicing martial arts, changed his clothes, was sitting at the table drinking water, saw Jin Yue running in and smiled and said, "Slow down, don't fall."

Jin Yue said with a smile, "No way!"

Jin Han poured a glass of water and pushed it to Jin Yue, "Really? Then you are not afraid of the nuns practicing the rules?"

Jin Yue chuckled and stopped talking.

Only then did Jin Han ask, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jinyue suddenly became excited, and took out the envelope, "Brother, sister Xi wrote me a letter again! Read it to me! You have to answer the letter for me!"

Jin Han paused, but still took the envelope, took out the letter, and read it to Jin Yue.

Xichun's letter was obviously written casually, like chatting with you, talking about this and that, but Jinyue listened with gusto, and even took out Xichun's paintings for comparison.

Jin Yue couldn't wait to reply to the letter after hearing it, but was stopped by Jin Han, "What time is it now, and I have to send the letter back tomorrow, why don't you think about what to say to her first, and tell me together tomorrow .”

Jin Yue thought for a while, then nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to my brother."

Jinhan folded the letter paper and put it back again, "If you listen to me, follow the nuns to learn how to read. After the new year, you will also go to school. When you learn how to write, you can write to her yourself. gone."

Just as Jin Yue pursed her lips, Jin Han glanced over, "It's been said in Jiaxian Jun's letter that she will also enter school next year."

Jin Yue suddenly became listless, "But it's so difficult to read, and my handwriting is also ugly, I can't even recognize it myself. Sister Xi will laugh at me if she sees it."

Jin Han paused when he was folding a picture, "Don't worry, it was like this when I first started learning, and my brother is the same, and it will get better gradually, and she won't laugh at you. Look, it's okay for her to draw like this." Did it come to you?"

Jin Yue looked up at Xi Chun's painting, and smiled again, "Yes! I will study hard!"

Jin Yue came excitedly, and left excitedly, but Jin Han became pensive.

After dinner, Jinhan practiced his handwriting for an hour according to his old habits. Just as he put down his pen, he thought of Jinyue again.

Jin Han pursed his lips, stood in front of the desk and meditated, and finally spread out the paper, picked up the pen with his left hand and started writing again.

In the beginning, he wrote the letters with his right hand, and tried his best to cover up the edges and corners, but recently the master praised him for his improved writing skills, so the handwriting can no longer be covered.

In the end, Jin Han was persuaded by the servant, "My lord, it's time to rest. I'm going to the Imperial College tomorrow morning."

Only then did Jin Han realize that it was already late at night.

He hummed, put down his pen, and told the boy, "Burn all the paper I just used to practice calligraphy."

In the jumping firelight, some handwriting can still be seen clearly, those words can barely be regarded as smooth and stable, but the meaning of beauty can be faintly seen.
