The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

It was rare for Xiao Yun to rest for a day, and it happened that Duke Ning’s mansion posted a post inviting him to have a banquet with his elder brother. In fact, people in Linchuan’s mansion rarely participated in such purely fun gatherings, although they and Rong Ning Fu Su has some friendship, but it is a pity that it is a matter of the previous generation. When he came to him, he was lucky not to see and hate each other. However, the emperor issued a new secret order that day, so he thought he would take the opportunity to come Find out one or two.

Xiao Yun had long been familiar with the topography of Rongning and Ningfu. At this time, he seemed to be wandering along the small river unintentionally. He walked along the way, and there were hardly any people in sight. He stopped at a bend, looked up, There is a pavilion standing in front of it, and the voice of the theater troupe singing is faintly heard from upstairs.

"Second Master, I'm afraid we won't be able to pass there again. I just heard from the servants in their mansion that today the female relatives of the Rongning and Ningfu mansions are also enjoying flowers and listening to operas in the Tianxiang Building." The servant who came with Xiao Yun Said quickly.

"I see that there is still a distance, and they are all upstairs, so we shouldn't meet them, so go forward for a while." Xiao Yun continued to move forward without seeming to care.

Just as the master and servant walked a few steps, they suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures appearing one after the other outside the gate of Tianxiang Tower. Looking from them, it happened to be a corner that the other party could not see. Xiao Yun stopped silently again. Looking at the pair of girls who looked like master and servant seemed to be talking, the younger girl still had a sullen look on her face.

Xiao Yun felt that the maid looked familiar, and wondered in his heart that the little girl was her?Although the face looked a little blurry from here, Xiao Yun felt that he could clearly see the annoyed expression on the little girl's face, his heart skipped an inexplicable beating, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth involuntarily. As if he was about to walk towards the woods, he nervously stepped back a few steps, but when he saw the maid anxiously persuaded the little girl, and the little girl obediently walked into the Tianxiang Tower again, a feeling of disappointment arose spontaneously. Xiao Yun couldn't help wondering if that little girl was who he thought she was?

"It's so risky...Second Master, let's go back, if someone comes out again, maybe they will see us." The boy on the side was also taken aback by the behavior of the master and servant. When the person left, he quickly persuaded him.

"En." Xiao Yun was checking the identity of the little girl in his mind, and he didn't refuse what the servant said, turned around and walked back.

As soon as Xiao Yun returned to Ningxixuan, he was already sure that the little girl was the second girl of the Jia family, because he remembered the news he had inquired about earlier, that the second girl Jia didn't seem to like to listen to dramas... I thought he would wait there She was the only one who ran away on the occasion. After Xiao Yun figured it out, he secretly shook his head amusedly and helplessly, his eyes inadvertently filled with a indulgent smile.

At this time, "Journey to the West", which Jia Mu loves to listen to, is being sung on the stage of Tianxiang Building. Mrs. Wang and others also seem to be enjoying the play. Listening to those plays that he really didn't know what they were singing, and finally finished the play, Jia Yingchun finally couldn't help but wanted to run away, so he made a nonsense excuse to Wang Xifeng who was on the side to change clothes, and then hurriedly He hurriedly ran downstairs, then stood outside the door, straightened his waist vigorously... let out a big breath.

"Isn't the girl going to change clothes?" Seeing that Jia Yingchun just stopped there, and she didn't look like she was in a hurry to go somewhere, she asked puzzled.

"Where do I want to go... I just feel that those operas are too noisy and I can't understand them. It's hard for the old ladies to sit there and listen with such interest." Jia Yingchun pursed her mouth and looked aggrieved.

"Miss, haven't you heard Miss Bao say it? The words sung in this opera are quite meaningful, how can you just sing casually? But the girl doesn't like to recite poems and compose lyrics, so it's not uncommon for her to be impatient to listen to those." Siqi smiled thoughtfully.

"Hey~ Anyway, I'm just an ordinary person, hey! Since I'm here to enjoy the flowers, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't go for a walk in the garden?" Jia Yingchun said suddenly on a whim.

"How is this good? Didn't Grandma Rong just say that Uncle Zhen and the others invited foreigners to come over the house today? It would be bad if they bumped into each other accidentally." Siqi hurriedly pulled him back and couldn't wait to walk into the woods. Jia Yingchun, and persuaded in a low voice.

"They probably won't come here, right? It's still a long way from Ningxixuan." Jia Yingchun raised her eyebrows and looked into the depths of the forest depressedly.

Because of Siqi's reminder, Jia Yingchun suddenly remembered the evil law of traversal. If she went in and met someone she shouldn't have met, it would be really unfortunate. It's unlikely that a person who has gained the status will lower his status to come to this place, but...it's better to believe it than to believe it.

After Jia Yingchun struggled for a while, she drooped her shoulders weakly and sighed: "It's better not to go, if I bump into someone, I can't afford to offend."

"If the girl really doesn't want to listen to the show, why don't you tell the old ladies and wives, let's go back first, and make amends with Mrs. Zhen and Grandma Rong some other day." Siqi suggested distressedly.

"Hmm...Okay!" Jia Yingchun nodded, she seldom attended this kind of gatherings, so it wouldn't be strange for her to leave suddenly.

Jia Yingchun turned around and ran up the stairs in a hurry. As soon as she got upstairs, she happened to see Qin Keqing leading Jia Baoyu to leave. She asked curiously, "Where is Baoyu going?"

"Uncle Bao said he was tired, I'll take him to the spare room to rest for a while." Qin Keqing replied with a smile.

"Oh? Then you guys go first." Jia Yingchun scrutinized Jia Baoyu who was almost half-closed, and couldn't help but cast his gaze to Xi Ren behind him, then nodded lightly in response.

"If the second girl is also feeling tired, why not come with us." Qin Keqing seemed to know that Jia Yingchun didn't like to listen to dramas, so she kindly said.

"Uh?! I won't be with you anymore. After I go in and talk to the old lady, I'll go back directly. I'm more comfortable in my own place." Jia Yingchun twitched the corner of her mouth, and declined Qin Keqing's kindness without changing her expression.

"Okay, then I won't see the second girl off." Qin Keqing said politely with a smile, and then took Jia Baoyu away.

Jia Yingchun returned to her seat, whispered to Mrs. Xing that she would go back first, and then left with Siqi.

A few days later, Nanny Zhou, who went to Jia Mu's Courtyard with Jia Yingchun to greet her, suddenly said inexplicably: "Why does that maid named Xiren seem to be broke? Miss, I heard that the old lady is still the second wife in the treasure house." Has anyone been released from the second master's house?"

"Huh?! How does Mammy know? Could it be possible to see that kind of thing?" Jia Yingchun looked at Nanny Zhou in astonishment and asked.

"It can be seen at least a little bit. The girl should know that we are in contact with those things in the palace. You can't ask us to test the bodies of those little maids every day, right? Naturally, we need some means of knowing people." Zhou Nanny was not there. Nodding in agreement.

"Oh! But how old is Baoyu, how could the second wife let someone in his room?" Jia Yingchun nodded knowingly, thinking that the reason is reasonable, Mrs. Wang is not a professional, so it is normal that she can't tell .

"... No wonder the girl always wanted Miss Lin to stay away from Second Master Bao before. She's only so old, and she's already thinking about that kind of thing." Nanny Zhou frowned deeply dissatisfied.

"Yes~ That's right, but Nanny Zhou asked more directly, she is still a simple little girl." Jia Yingchun twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a half-smile.

"I thought the girl knew already? I remember when you and Siqi came back a few days ago, I saw your expression was a little weird... I didn't even ask you if something happened that day." Nanny Zhou said lightly Glancing at Jia Yingchun, she has taught Jia Yingchun for so many years, and she has already seen that the girl she taught has a different way of thinking from others, but she is not a very traditional old man, so Jia Yingchun can abide by the rules Bottom line, she doesn't care about letting Jia Yingchun know more about other things.

"Nurse is too shrewd. You can tell that something is wrong with me." Jia Yingchun said with a downcast face and pouted.

"It's the girl's poor way of hiding her thoughts, and only those foolish people in the mansion can't see it." Nanny Zhou replied with a straight face.

"Mama's words are getting more and more honest, it's really embarrassing." Jia Yingchun covered her face and sighed full of shame.

"I'm just reminding the girl that you are 12 years old this year, and the days when you can do whatever you want are numbered. It's good for you to know a little about some things." Nanny Zhou continued.

"I hate growing up..." Jia Yingchun leaned weakly on the table with puffed cheeks.

It has been three years since Jia Min forgot his past, the deceased is gone, and the living is still there. No matter how much Lin Ruhai misses his deceased wife, it is impossible for him to live. Children should be lively and energetic, so as soon as the new year was over, he ordered Lin Zhong to ask for instructions on the auspicious day for removing clothes, and performed the ceremony of removing clothes according to the rules. After another month, he set up a table and asked Lin Daiyu to invite some Jia family members The girl came to visit.

Although Jia Yingchun and Lin Daiyu had always had a close friendship, it was only this day that they visited the Lin Mansion for the first time. Jia Tanchun, Jia Xichun, Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun were also invited.

"Does Sister Lin live in such a big courtyard alone?" Shi Xiangyun looked at the secondary courtyard and asked enviously.

"There are not many people in the family. It is natural for me to occupy a yard by myself, but my brother's place is bigger than mine. Unfortunately, you can't see it." Lin Daiyu replied with a smile without feeling anything.

"That's great. I have to squeeze in with a few sisters at home. How can I have the blessing to occupy a courtyard all to myself? Hey! This jade plate is so beautiful." Shi Xiangyun's tone was sour, and he couldn't hide the deep jealousy in his heart. And she saw that not only was the place huge, but even the furnishings were exquisite.

"Really? If Sister Yun likes it, it's okay to give it to you." Lin Daiyu faintly felt that Shi Xiangyun was a bit exaggerated, and she also thought that the decoration here was not as good as that in Jia Yingchun's room, but she didn't know that Shi Xiangyun had never had If I had the opportunity to visit Jia Yingchun's yard, I naturally didn't know the situation there.

"Really?!... Forget it, I don't have a place to put it if you give it to me." Shi Xiangyun first burst into joy, then suddenly shook his head in frustration and refused.

"Sister Lin will be able to wear beautiful clothes after today. When my wife is going to visit another house someday, let her take you to show off, so that others can see that there is a cute girl hidden in our house." Jia Yingchun changed the subject without a trace, she was afraid that if Shi Xiangyun continued talking, the listeners might not think there was anything wrong, but the talkers would be overwhelmed.

Xue Baochai has never been a talkative person. She sat on the sidelines and secretly looked at the few furnishings in the house. She became more and more jealous of Lin Daiyu in her heart, because one or two of them might not even be available to the Xue family. Yes, but Lin Daiyu can put it there casually. Even the jade plate that Shi Xiangyun just held in her hand is an antique from a certain age. She just said it as a gift, really...

Lin Daiyu's first banquet was very appropriate. She entertained Jia Yingchun and others with a smile. After the banquet, she drank a few cups of tea. I don't see the dust-free eyes mentioned in the original book, but she is as shrewd as Wang Xifeng, Jia Yingchun thought with emotion... Although Lin Daiyu like this lacks a little fairy temperament, at least in the next few years, there will be a master to support the front of the Lin family, Even if there is no chance to go out as a guest, but with Mrs. Xing here, it is not impossible for an aunt to bring her niece to someone else's house to play as a guest.
