[Comprehensive Classics] Guide to Cannon Fodder Counterattack

After three days of recuperation, Jia Yuanchun's body has almost recovered, and he has figured out the future path, now it's time to formally meet with the people in Jia's mansion.

Early in the morning, Jia Yuanchun finished washing under the service of Baoqin and a few little girls, and is now sitting in front of the dressing table to make up.

As expected of a favored young lady, when most people were still using bronze mirrors, she already had glass mirrors that were half the height of a person.

Looking at the clear human face in the glass mirror, even though Yuan Chun has looked in the mirror many times in the past few days, he is still amazed.

The girl in the mirror was only twenty-eight years old, with thick and smooth hair like crow feathers, soft and charming eyes like apricots, a small nose, red lips and white teeth.

As expected, she and Jia Baoyu are sisters and brothers, and their appearance is indeed somewhat similar. The same face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the color is like the flowers of the spring dawn.It's just that he has been seriously ill, and his figure is a little thin.

She couldn't help sighing that she deserves to be one of the Twelve Beauties of the Red Chamber. In the original book, she can still be favored in her 20s. In addition to political factors, her face must also have a lot of advantages.

Baoqin neatly tied up a delicate bun for her, which was dotted with a few pearl hairpins here and there. Although small, it was very delicate.

After a few mouthfuls of snacks, Yuan Chun took Baoqin to Rongqingtang to greet Jia Mu.

Because it is deeply loved by Jia Mu, Yuanchun's courtyard is not far from Rongqing Hall.Go through the corridors and arrive in a short while.

Knowing that her daughter was finally able to come out today, Mrs. Wang went to Jia Mu's place to wait early in the morning.Jia Yuanchun is her eldest daughter, and she loves her very much. She often visits her daughter when she is sick.

After finally recovering, the girl said that she was afraid that she would get sick and refused to let her come to the door. She was both relieved and anxious, and she was worried every day that her daughter recovered.

Although she knew that Yuan Chun would come to pay her respects after meeting Jia Mu, but she couldn't wait any longer.Jia Mu also understood her mood and asked her to wait by Baoyu's side.

As soon as Jia Yuanchun entered the lobby, he saw an old lady with a kind face sitting on the head, and standing next to him were mandarin ducks and a group of maids and women. This was Jia's mother.

Although she doesn't have the silver hair as described in the original book, but most of her hair is gray, her complexion is rosy, and she is still in good spirits.

Mrs. Wang is sitting on the right side. She is in her 40s and [-]s. She can still vaguely see the beauty of her youth, but her clothes are too old-fashioned, and her appearance is covered by five or six points at once.

She was holding a four-year-old child in her arms, dressed in bright red clothes, she was born cute as jade, with a gold collar around her neck, on which was a piece of jade the size of a sparrow egg.

Presumably this is the hero Jia Baoyu in the book, and now he is just a bare-bottomed doll playing with Mrs. Wang's bracelet.

Yuan Chun stepped forward to salute Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile, "Good old ancestor, good wife."

Mother Jia hugged her in her arms, looked at her carefully, and smiled gratifiedly, "Sure enough, it's great, but why are there so many gifts, we are all a family, so there is no need to do so."

Yuan Chun snuggled into her arms and said flatteringly, "That's because my ancestors love me, but I can't spoil the rules and let others see the joke."

Jia Mu pointed to her and said to Mrs. Wang: "Look at this girl, she has a sharp tongue, so she is all right."

Mrs. Wang had already scanned Yuan Chun's whole body, and she was relieved to see that she was recovering well.

Hearing what Jia Mu said, she pressed the reddish eye sockets with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Young lady is sensible, she is right, people like us should behave better than ordinary people."

Yuanyang also laughed at the side, "Hey, old lady, the eldest girl is filial to you and the second wife, you should be happy. So, if you are still an old lady, you will be the best person. If you look around, which girl There is a big girl in our family who is outstanding, beautiful and polite."

Baoyu hadn't seen his elder sister for several days. He always liked to play with good-looking maids. Yuan Chun was much older than him and had a gentle personality. He liked his eldest sister very much.

Hearing what Yuanyang said, he also booed at the side: "Eldest sister, the most beautiful, Baoyu wants eldest sister to hug her."

As he spoke, he leaned forward and stretched out his hand towards Yuan Chun to hug him.The strength of the four-year-old child is not small, and Mrs. Wang almost failed to hug her.

Yuan Chun frightened, fearing that he might fall, he hastily picked him up, and then simply hugged him and sat down beside Jia Mu.

She reached out and touched Baoyu's forehead, and said angrily: "You, why are you so careless, be careful that you fall, and you will feel better then."

Then he handed him a piece of pastry and asked him to eat and play.Baoyu was not annoyed, she just covered her forehead and smirked, taking a bite of the pastry from time to time.

The others laughed when they saw him remembering whether to eat or not to fight.

Mrs. Wang looked at their sister and brother like this, and suddenly felt a little sad, "Our girl Yuan not only takes care of the younger brother, but also is filial to the elders. There is really nothing wrong with it, but why did the emperor cancel the draft, otherwise..."

"Shut up, you dare to criticize the royal affairs, the Holy Majesty has his own reasons. Besides, Yuan girl is better, why did you bring it up again?"

Mother Jia suppressed her smile and interrupted her with a serious face.

Mrs. Wang knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and remembered that it was because of this incident that Yuan Chun fell seriously ill, so she shut up.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yuanyang and the others also stopped laughing and said nothing.

Seeing Yuan Chun's depression, Jia's mother felt a little distressed.

She stroked her long hair and said in relief: "Good boy, don't be sad. It's fine if you fail in the draft. From now on, my old lady will spare no effort to find a good marriage for you. I won't be wronged." you."

Although Baoyu didn't understand what was going on, he knew that his sister was unhappy, so he quickly stuffed the pastry into her mouth: "Sister, don't cry, Baoyu is good, Baoyu will give my sister some cakes."

He has a milky voice, is childish and cute, and at this moment, he doesn't want to be the innocent and kind but not responsible son of Zhuo Shijia in the future.

Yuan Chun looked at the bitten and pitted pastry that was handed to his mouth, and he really didn't have the courage to bite.

She shook her head and said to Baoyu: "My sister is fine, Baoyu should eat the cakes by herself."

Baoyu didn't doubt that there was him. Seeing her sister smiling, she believed it and began to chew happily.

Yuan Chun took a deep breath and said to Jia Mu: "Old ancestor, I know you love me. But you have said that, and my granddaughter can't be ashamed. Even if you can really find me a rich family, but It’s not right to be in the right household. If you force it for a while, you will inevitably have bumps in your life. It’s really boring. But if you want to find a suitable household, old ancestors and wives, are you willing to do so?”

Jia Yuanchun raised his head and looked at them, his tone full of unwillingness.

"Even if you are willing, I am not reconciled. Over the years, for this day, not only the mansion has spent so much manpower and material resources, but I have also suffered a lot. Is it necessary to let so much effort go to waste? ?”

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they were also startled.

Yes, how can they be willing.So much painstaking effort has been put into Yuan Chun these years, and it is clear that the hope is in front of them, but it is suddenly shattered, how can they be reconciled.

Mother Jia looked at Yuan Chun lovingly, and her tone was full of helplessness: "Yuan'er, I know you are high-minded, and you are not only for yourself, but also for the whole house. But we can't do it unless we accept our fate." Ah. You are already fourteen this year. If you miss this draft, you will be seventeen in three years. You will be too old. Listen to your ancestors, we don’t want to do this anymore. The old lady is still there. I will definitely plan for you in the future."

Hearing what Jia Mu said, Mrs. Wang also persuaded: "Yuan girl, listen to your ancestors. You are the first lady of the Duke's mansion. You have a distinguished status. Good times are yet to come."

Yuan Chun's eyes were red, and he said to them: "Old ancestors, madam, don't comfort me anymore. Although I have never been in charge, I am still a member of the mansion. Since my grandfather left, these years have been a day in the mansion. It’s not as good as one day. In my generation, the eldest brother Zhu is smart, but he is still studying in the Imperial College, and he has not yet obtained a reputation. Lian’er and Baoyu are still young, so I naturally have to bear some burdens as the eldest daughter. .”

As she said that, she seemed to have made up her mind, and said to Mother Jia and the others: "Grandfather, madam, I have already made up my mind. Although this year's draft is cancelled, the minor election will still be held. So..."

She paused, then said firmly:

"I'm going to participate in the election!"
