Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

After Mr. Yang left, Xichun and the others also walked back. When they passed a bridge, there were many women squatting by the river and setting up lanterns. The lanterns were floating on the river, and the candles were faint. At a glance, the river seemed real. It's like blossoming lotus flowers.

Jin Yue wanted to let it go when she saw it, so she turned to look at Jin Han.

Jin Han also saw Jin Yue's desire, and shook his head at her, "If you want to let her go, you can ask the maid to let you go, but you can't go near the water."

Jin Yue nodded, and handed the lotus lantern in her hand to Yinfeng, "Yinfeng, please let it go for me." Then she turned her head and asked Xichun and the others, "Do you want to release the river lantern?"

The three of Xichun also nodded, "Yes."

Yinfeng took the lotus lantern and said with a smile: "Since the river lantern is going to be released, it is natural to make a wish. There is someone providing pens and ink over there. We can go over and write down our wishes and put them in the river lantern."

Jin Yue immediately agreed, and walked over there. Yingchun and Tanchun also found it novel, and followed Jin Yue, but Jin Han and Xichun walked last.

Jinhan looked at Xichun's flushed cheeks, "Is sister Jia tired?"

Xichun shook her head, her eyes crooked with a smile, "No."

Jin Han nodded, "You are the youngest, we have a long way to go tonight, please tell us if you are tired."

Xichun hummed obediently.

Jin Han looked at Jin Yue who was walking in the front again, smiled and shook his head, and walked forward.

The next moment, a man rushed out from nowhere, bumped into many people along the way, and was about to bump into Jin Han.

Xichun subconsciously shouted: "Brother Jin!" At the same time, she reached out to pull Jinhan away.

Sensing the sound of the wind behind him, Jin Han subconsciously moved to the side, but the man didn't stop, and continued to charge forward. Xi Chun was scraped by the man, shook her body and fell down.

Jinhan heard Xichun's voice and looked back, just in time to see Xichun being scraped by that person and fell to the ground.

Everyone exclaimed, and the maids and women stepped forward to check on Xichun's situation, Jin Han subconsciously grabbed the man, "Where are you running?!"

Xichun reacted quickly, and got up from the ground with her teeth bared. Jiang's mother saw that Xichun wanted to hug her so much but was afraid of touching her wounds, and she burst into tears.

The man who rushed over before was also surrounded by people.

In such weather, the man's forehead was covered with sweat, and he kept apologizing, but no one listened to him.

Brother and sister Jinhan and Yingchun Tanchun came over and asked Xichun if there was anything wrong.

Xichun roughly moved her hands and feet, but she didn't see any pain, so she shook her head, "I'm fine."

Mother Jiang cried, "What's the matter? I fell down so suddenly, maybe I got hurt somewhere."

Xichun really didn't think there was anything wrong with her, "Mom, I'm really fine, I'm wearing thick clothes, so it doesn't hurt too much."

At this time, a person dressed as a servant squeezed in, "Everyone! Everyone! I'm really sorry! That's my master! Because my wife is about to give birth, the master is in a hurry to go back, so I accidentally ran into everyone! Hope Everyone, Haihan! Any loss will be doubled!"

As soon as the words came out, the discussion among the crowd became quieter, but Jin Han said with a cold face, "On such a day, there are so many people on the street, can they go on the rampage just because of impatience?! What if there is a stampede? !"

Jin Han glanced at the man, "He rushed over all the way, bumped into several people, including a child in my family, but I didn't hear him say an excuse!"

Everyone looked at Xichun again, looking at Xichun's small body, and thinking of the scene Jin Han just mentioned, they couldn't help but feel a chill.

With so many people on the street, if a stampede really happened, it would really kill people.

"That's right, what the young master said is correct. From the beginning to the end, I didn't hear any excuses."

"My wife is about to give birth. It is understandable to be anxious, but it shouldn't be like this. What if there is a stampede?"

"He said it's true that his wife is about to give birth? Maybe he lied to us."

……

The discussion among the crowd gradually grew louder.

The man gritted his teeth, walked up to Xichun and the others, bent down and saluted, "I am a customs officer in Jinshui Street. I was in a hurry today and ran into Miss Young Master. Please forgive me!"

"I don't dare to shirk today's matter. It's just that my wife is about to give birth, so I ask you to tell me. In the future, Guan will come to the door to apologize in person. I hope you will be happy!"

Officer Wai didn't get up after he finished speaking, and kept on saluting.

Jin Han looked at Xi Chun with questioning eyes.

Xichun shook her head.

Only then did Jin Han look at the customs officer, "Customs officer, please stand up."

"It's a fluke today, so there is no need to mention the apology at the door. I hope that the customs officer will be more careful in the future."

After finishing speaking, Jin Han and the others turned around and left regardless of the reaction of the customs officers.

After walking a certain distance, they stopped and looked at Xichun.

Xichun smiled directly and turned around, expressing that she was really fine.

Jin Yue breathed out suddenly, "I was frightened just now."

Yingchun and Tanchun also nodded, one standing on Xichun's left and the other on Xichun's right, refusing to leave even half a step.

Jin Yue handed her lantern to Xichun, "Your lantern and lotus lantern are gone, I'll give you mine."

Yingchun and Tanchun also said they would give her the lamp.

Xichun smiled and said, "What do I want so many lanterns for? I can't take them back and sell them? Take them back." After thinking for a while, she said, "Didn't you say you want to put up lotus lanterns? Let's go together."

This time Jin Han didn't stop them, and followed them to the river, and then asked the maid to put the lotus lanterns.

After setting off the lotus lanterns, the group continued to walk back, and small stalls gradually appeared around them. Xichun walked and watched, her pace getting slower and slower.

Jinhan didn't know when he came to Xichun's side, "Does sister Jia like these lanterns?"

Only then did Xichun turn her eyes away from the various lanterns on the stall, "They are very beautiful and interesting."

Jin Han began to touch the purse on his body, "Which one did Sister Jia take a fancy to?"

Xichun shook her head, "Thank you Brother Jin for your kindness, but although the lanterns here are beautiful, I don't like them."

Jinhan looked at Xichun, "Sister Jia, don't be so polite, I'm the one who didn't take good care of you today, so I should apologize."

Xichun smiled and said, "That's not what I mean, it's just that there really aren't any lanterns I like here, these patterns are not my favorite."

The owner of the stall heard this and said to Xichun with a smile: "I wonder what patterns this young lady likes? The little old man has been making lanterns for so many years, and he can draw many patterns."

Xichun raised her head and said to the owner of the stall: "I like roses!"

Now the owner of the stall shook his head, "Oh, that's true, this little old man really can't draw roses."

Jin Han asked subconsciously: "Is it difficult to draw this rose?"

The stall owner said: "It's not difficult, it's just that this flower came from the Western Regions. It has only been famous for a short time. Many people have never seen it, and naturally fewer people draw it. Even the little old man, I have only heard of it." , I have never seen it before, and at least as far as I know, no one in this street market can draw roses."

Xichun smiled and said to Jinhan: "Brother Jin, let's go, it's time to go back."

Jin Han pursed his lips and said to Xi Chun, "Next time, next time I will give you a rose lantern."

Xichun smiled and hummed.

Back in the mansion, Jia Jing already knew about Xichun's fall, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, no matter how much Xichun acted like a baby, it was useless.

In the end, the people who served Xichun tonight were boarded and fined monthly.

Xichun was also ordered not to leave the house at will.

Xichun complied obediently, she could see that Jia Jing was really angry, especially after Xichun woke up the next day and found that she had more bruises on her body, she became even more obedient.

As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, it was time to start school, and the new teacher for Xichun and the others had already arrived.

The new wife's surname is Huang, and he is quite old. He has a beard but prefers to say that he is still a middle-aged and elderly Juren.

Yes, Master Huang resolutely refuses to admit that he is an old man. If anyone can tell him that Master Huang is still in his prime, he will be happy all day long.

All in all, a very lovely old man.

And he was very dedicated, because the East Mansion invited him back, so Master Huang lived in the East Mansion, and the three of Xichun also attended classes in the East Mansion. On weekdays, Master Huang only needed to teach the three of Xichun and Xichun in the morning, but Master Huang would come back when he had nothing to do in the afternoon. I will go to Jiajiajia to have a look, give lectures, and tell Jia Jing all the faults of Jiajiajiajia. Jia Jing also uses this to rectify Jiajiajiajia.

Xichun didn't know until a long time later that the reason for inviting Master Huang was that Jia Jing gave his little grandson the place of Yinsheng in the Imperial College of the Eastern Mansion, and Master Huang was so dedicated for this reason.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jin Han also returned to the Imperial College to continue his studies. After a few days, Mr. Yang came to him with a big food box.

Mr. Yang pouted his mouth and asked Jin Han to open it.

Jin Han opened the food box and found that there were two large portions of pastries inside.

Exactly the two he has been buying frequently in recent months.

Mr. Yang rubbed his arm, "I remember you often bought these two pastries and took them home. I thought they were your sister's favorite, so I bought some as an apology for last time."

"However, the cakes in this store are really hard to buy. My servants have been waiting in line for several days, and I just bought them today." Mr. Yang said, "I was wrong last time. Next time you bring your sister out to play, I will make them myself." Dong, definitely let your sister have fun."

Jin Han hummed, but his eyes drifted involuntarily to the white and plump pastry stuffed with jujube paste.

Jinhan returned home with this big food box, and just as he was about to have someone deliver the cakes to Jinyue, Xichun came to mind.

Jin Han took out the pastry stuffed with jujube paste again, and asked to send the rest to Jin Yue.

But when Jin Han left the pastry stuffed with jujube paste, he felt that it was inappropriate. How should he send it over, in the name of Jin Yue?

Jin Han spread out his pen and ink, and stopped writing just after writing two characters with his left hand.

And rose lanterns.

Jin Han called the servant, "Did you find the rose?"

The little servant said with a bitter face: "My lord, where are the roses blooming at this time? And the little one has also asked, no one in Beijing grows roses."

Jin Han frowned, waved the boy to go down, and started to write a letter by himself, but he stopped after writing two lines.

This is not the tone of Jinyue and Xichun's chat.

Jin Han called the servant over again, "Go and invite the eldest lady."
