Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

What Laifu said was right, the snow fell heavily in a short while, and a thin layer of snow quickly accumulated on the ground.

Nanny Shang asked Xichun to stand inside the pavilion, "Your Majesty, be careful not to wet your clothes."

Xichun smiled, but didn't move, she was waiting for the maid to come back with the umbrella.

After an unknown amount of time, another group of people came over with umbrellas. Laifu squinted his eyes and looked, "It's the Ninth Princess and the Lord Jin of Nan'an Palace."

Hearing Jin County Lord of Nan'an Palace, Xichun also looked subconsciously, and saw that one of the two girls walking in the front did look familiar.

When the pedestrian walked to the pavilion, Jin Yue smiled at her, "Sister Mei."

Xichun also smiled at her, "Sister Yue."

The girl next to Jinyue was looking at her curiously, and Xichun also looked at her, only to see that she was wearing a lavender dress and had a few velvet flowers on her head.

Knowing that this is the Ninth Princess, Xichun immediately saluted and said hello, "My daughter Jia Mei has met the Ninth Princess."

Princess Jiu stepped forward to help her up, "In the past, I always heard Yue'er talking about you, but today I can see a real person." The voice is gentle and soft, which makes people feel comfortable.

Xichun also said: "Sister Yue often mentions you too."

Princess Jiu turned to look at Jin Yue, "Oh? What did she say about me?"

Xichun laughed and said, "Sister Yue said that Princess Nine is beautiful and kind-hearted, like a fairy. It would be nice if she didn't always stare at her to study."

After hearing this, the ninth princess burst out laughing.

Xichun asked again: "My daughter dared to ask the ninth princess, what did Sister Yue say about me in the palace?"

Jin Yue said, "Why are you so bad? I'm still here!"

Princess Jiu looked at her with a smile, "It's because you are here that we asked the question, otherwise wouldn't it be a backstory?"

Princess Jiu said to Xichun again: "Yue'er said that you are smart, diligent when you were young, and kind and enthusiastic."

Xichun immediately grasped the point, "Diligent when you were young?"

Princess Jiu nodded with a smile, "She said that when you were young, you worked from morning to night, but now that you're getting older, you've been thinking of ways to be lazy all day long."

The corner of Xichun's mouth twitched, and she turned to look at Jinyue.

Jin Yue didn't expect that there would be a big reveal today, her face flushed slightly, and when she saw Xi Chun looking over, she turned her head to look at the sky.

At this time, Laifu also stepped forward to salute the nine princesses.

Princess Jiu asked Laifu, "Eunuch Laifu, what are you doing here?"

Lai Fu smiled and said: "Back to the Ninth Princess, this slave is following the emperor's order to send Mr. Jia out of the palace. Seeing snow falling on the road, he just rested in this pavilion for a while, just in time to wait for someone to bring an umbrella."

Princess Jiu smiled and said: "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, I'm afraid the road will be difficult to walk in a while, I also brought a few umbrellas here, you can use them."

Lai Fu was taken aback, and finally thanked Princess Nine, "Then thank Princess Nine."

After getting the umbrella, Xichun also bid farewell to the ninth princess. Jinyue looked at the ninth princess and then at Xichun, before she could open her mouth, she was stopped by the ninth princess, "Okay, you can go back too."

Jin Yue smiled and thanked her.

Princess Jiu glanced at her lightly, "If you really thank me, then hurry back and do the homework assigned by the teacher a few days ago, lest you tell me that Yang Zicheng made fun of you."

Jin Yue reluctantly agreed.

After seeing off the nine princesses, the four of them walked towards the palace gate under umbrellas.

Jinyue took her hand and talked non-stop, and finally sighed: "Princess Jiu is good at everything, but she always likes to stare at me to study, just like the teacher."

Xichun heard her talk a lot and understood that she entered the palace for her own sake, and was deeply moved. Hearing Jinyue's complaint, she comforted her: "Princess Ninth is also for your own good."

Jin Yue sighed, "No, you don't understand."

Jin Yue really wanted to tell Xichun that Princess Nine loves to teach others to learn, and she has taught almost all the palace people in her palace. Rather than saying that Princess Nine cares about her, it is better to say that Princess Nine is satisfying her desire to teach .

Jinyue glanced at Xichun again, wanting to tell her that Princess Jiu wanted to teach her a long time ago, but seeing Xichun's excited face, Jinyue swallowed her words back.

Forget it, let Sister Mei continue to live in ignorance and happiness. Anyway, the Ninth Princess lives deep in the palace, and it is difficult for them to meet each other on weekdays.

Xichun didn't notice Jinyue's entanglement, so she asked her instead, "Who is Yang Zicheng then? It sounds like I have a problem with you, why didn't I hear you mention it?"

Jin Yue said: "Then Yang Zicheng, you have met before, that young master Yang who went through all kinds of illnesses together back then, his name is Zicheng, and now he is the companion of the third prince."

Xichun thought about it for a while before she had some reflections, "How did you get into a fight with him?"

With that mouth, Jin Yue probably couldn't say it until now.

Jin Yue suddenly became dejected, "He and I are both reading companions, and we usually go to class together. At first, there was a little conflict, but then we kept fighting."

Seeing Xichun frowned, Jinyue thought that Xichun was angry with Yang Zicheng, and quickly said: "But he's not that bad, he's just joking with me on weekdays, and he knows how to measure it. He often brings me cakes, too. took me out to play."

Afraid that Xichun would not believe it, Jin Yue immediately gave a few examples.

However, the more Xichun thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and the way she looked at Jinyue became more subtle.

The person surnamed Yang couldn't be trying to woo her family's cabbage, right?

Xichun asked Jinyue again, "Then why didn't you mention it to me?"

Jin Yue twitched, "Then what, haven't I never won..." She also wanted to maintain the image of a calm and reliable sister in Xichun's heart, okay?

Xichun was instantly speechless, not only her, but Nanny Shang and Laifu didn't know what to say.

Jin Yue waved her hand, "Don't talk about him, it's boring."

Jin Yue asked Xichun again, "Are you free on the fifth day? My brother is going back to the army on the sixth day. Let's get together and practice it for my brother."

Xichun was surprised, "Brother Jin leaves on the sixth day? I thought it would be after the Lantern Festival."

Jinyue was depressed, "No, my mother and concubine both thought that my brother would be able to spend the year at home anyway, but two days ago my brother said that the Ministry of Households was about to arrange the last batch of grain, and he wanted to deliver the grain as soon as possible. to the army."

At the beginning, Jin Han and Wu Hai returned to Beijing for military rations. Later, Wu Hai took a batch of food back first, and asked Jin Han to stay in Beijing and go back with the next batch of food.

Without waiting for Xichun to say anything, Jinyue said again: "Forget it, it's enough for my brother to come back to accompany us this year."

Xichun smiled and took her hand, "In the future, we will definitely meet again, and on the fifth day of the lunar new year, we will practice together for Brother Jin."

Jin Yue became happy again, "It's a deal!"

Xichun: "It's a deal."

The snow stopped slowly, but there was a layer of snow on the ground. Laifu walked even slower, afraid of falling.

A group of people walked slowly, and it was already dark when they reached the palace gate.

Xichun saw Jia Jing and Jinhan standing outside the palace gate waiting for them from a distance, Laifu also left at this time, Xichun and Jinyue saluted and thanked Laifu, and Nanny Shang gave Laifu another purse.

Xichun didn't realize that there was a chill on her back until she left the palace gate. It turned out that she was covered in cold sweat before she didn't realize it.

Jin Yue smiled and ran to Jin Han, Jin Han smiled and said to her, "Slow down, the ground is full of snow, don't worry if you fall." Then she nodded to Xi Chun, "Sister Mei."

Xichun also smiled back, "Brother Jin."

Jia Jing let Xichun get into the carriage, and said to Jin Yue, "Thank you, Mr. Jin County, today."

Jin Yue smiled, "Uncle is serious, I didn't do anything."

It was also rare for Jia Jing to show a smile, "Sister Mei is lucky to have Lord Jin as a friend."

Jinyue smiled even happier, "It's also a blessing for Jinyue to be friends with Sister Mei."

Jia Jing nodded, "It's getting late today, Lord Jin should come back early."

Jinhan and Jinyue said goodbye to Jia Jing and got into the carriage.

When leaving, Jin Yue lifted the curtain of the car and waved to Xi Chun, reminding her not to forget what she promised earlier.

Xichun was completely relaxed at the moment, and promised Jinyue that she would definitely go.

Only then did Jin Yue put down the car curtain and sat down contentedly, feeling thirsty.

Jin Han poured her a cup of tea, "It's getting cold, don't drink too much, we'll talk about it when we get home."

Jin Yue nodded, drank the water and complained of hunger, and asked Jin Han to buy her some snacks. Seeing Jin Han ignoring her, she muttered to herself, what kind of brother is cruel, he only knows how to order his sister all day long, and now his sister is fast I didn't give my sister a bite even if I was starving to death.

Jin Han also had a headache when he heard it, "Is there no food for you at home or something? You have some snacks now, will you still eat when you go back?"

Jin Yue pouted, "But I was dragged away by you before I had eaten at noon."

Now Jinhan felt a little embarrassed. Today he dragged Jinyue away as soon as he heard that Xichun had been admitted to the palace, and wanted her to come into the palace to help him take a look. Jinyue only had something to eat in the morning.

Jin Han diverted the carriage, "Okay, can I buy it for you? What do you want?"

Jinyue regained her spirits immediately, and said a long list in one breath while snapping her fingers.

Jin Han's guilt disappeared in an instant, "I can only pick two things."

The dim sum was bought back soon, Jin Yue ate the dim sum, her eyes were happy, she faltered and faltered, Jin Han glanced at her, "Swallow the food before talking."

Jin Yue said: "I said sister Mei said, and I will come to practice for you on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

Jin Han hummed, but the corners of his mouth curled up without revealing his face.

Jin Yue also noticed it, and put down the pastry in her hand, "...Brother, will you always treat Sister Mei well?"

She is also getting older now, and the concubine mother has also started to tell her some things, and with Jin Han's letters, Jin Yue also guessed the family's plan.

Jin Han smiled at Jin Yue, "Yes."

"But..." Jin Yue said cautiously: "If... I mean, what if, sister Mei likes someone in the future? And, that person also likes her..."

Jinyue now sometimes feels sorry for Xichun, Xichun is so good to her, but she plots against Xichun with her concubine and elder brother, although it is for the good of Xichun, it's a pity that she really needs this kind of thing, okay?

"Then brother will bless her." Jin Han interrupted her, "Don't worry."

Jin Yue stared at Jin Han for a while, then finally lowered her head and started eating snacks again.

Today, two people asked him this question in a row, and Jin Han also felt a little uncomfortable. Looking at Jin Yue who was eating happily, Jin Han narrowed his eyes, "Yue'er, call Zicheng over on the fifth day too. .”

Jin Yue raised her head in confusion, "What did you ask him to do?"

Jin Han said, "Thank you for taking care of you in the palace these years?"

Seeing that Jin Yue became angry in an instant, Jin Han said again: "Besides, I haven't seen him much in the past few years, so it's time to chat."

Hearing what Jin Han said, Jin Yue had no choice but to reluctantly agree, "I know, I'll send someone to call him."

Jin Han smiled, since Yang Zicheng has the guts to covet her sister, don't blame him for being rude.
