Chu Ying looked at her with a smile, "Miss Smith, you don't have to be too sad. In my opinion, this is the principle of nature. When it comes to blood relationship, in the hearts of the ancestors, except for your brother Baoyu, I am afraid that no one can compare with you." Miss Shanglin. Even the three girls from the Jia family have to stand aside first, right?"

Shi Xiangyun nodded if he had realized something, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you go to the capital from the end? Why do you know more about Jia's affairs than I do?"

Chu Ying smiled mysteriously, "My master and I have learned the art of prophecy and weft divination. People's misfortunes and fortunes, life and death, wealth and honor, I count a hexagram, and I know that it is almost inseparable. If you don't believe it, just take the matter of Jia's house." Ask me, from the master to the servant, I allow you to ask three things; if it is true, you can believe it. Of course, you must not mention this matter to others. If the master finds out and says I am showing off, then it is not too late. Crap."

Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Really?"

Seeing that Xuying nodded affirmatively, she was a little bit unconvinced, "Well, I just want to ask you one thing. It's hard for people in the house to know. Do you know what Sister Lin's nickname is? This is our It's called in private, and no one else will know about it." After she finished speaking, she looked at Chu Ying, showing an expression of seeing how you made it up.

"But the two characters of frown and frown? It was taken by your elder brother Baoyu. You usually only call her frown." Chu Ying pretended to figure it out, and then said to her with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun's small mouth opened into an O shape, "So you're not lying to me?" Seeing that Xuanying nodded affirmatively, she grabbed Xuanying's hand excitedly, "Then you talk about it, um, say How long can I stay in Jia's mansion this time? I want to stay here for a few more days!"

Seeing Chu Ying's probing eyes, she felt a little embarrassed, "I'm at home, and I can't control everything by myself. I lost my parents when I was young, and grew up with my uncles and aunts. If my ancestors didn't miss me, I..." As if thinking of something, she hesitated and stopped, looking at Chu Ying expectantly, "Let's not mention anything else, I just asked how long can I stay this time? I don't want to go home so soon!" Can't think of asking anything else.

Chu Ying smiled, "I don't know how many days you can stay this time, because it changes at any time; I only know that you may live there often in the future, and after next spring, they will make a special trip for you. Arranging the building! Then you have to invite me to be a guest!"

"really?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Shi Xiangyun was so happy that he almost jumped up, "If there is such a day, I will be so happy, don't worry, don't say I still have a building, as long as I can stay here for a while, when the time comes I will definitely invite you to come and play!"

While holding Chu Ying's hand eagerly, "Sister, there is more, I want to ask..."

Chu Ying interrupted her with a smile, "Okay, as I said, I will only answer your three questions. You have to think about this last one, and don't waste it on trivial things. Look, late at night Now, I have to go back to sleep, you think about it first, and ask tomorrow, or later, it doesn’t matter.” As he was about to leave, Shi Xiangyun would not let her go, “Good sister, you stay with me today Here, I like to talk to you; otherwise, I will be a handkerchief acquaintance with you, we will be like biological sisters in the future, I am a few months older than you, you can call me sister, okay?"

Chu Ying pulled out her arm helplessly, "Miss Smith, the future will be long, we met today for the first time, and it will not be too late to talk slowly in the future. I really want to go back now, I am very sleepy, and we have to hurry tomorrow morning!" For one thing, she is playing hard to get, and wants to make friends with everyone in the Grand View Garden, starting with Shi Xiangyun first, and she must also maintain her sense of mystery; two, she is really not acquainted, and there is never anything in her dictionary that hits it off. Only a long time makes love.

Shi Xiangyun stayed for a while again and again, but Chu Ying insisted on going back to her room, so Shi Xiangyun could only reluctantly say, "Well, I'll invite you to take my car tomorrow morning, and we can talk together."

Sure enough, early the next morning, Shi Xiangyun came to talk to Liu Xianglian because of his cousin Shi? He said that his cousin Shi Xiangyun wanted to invite Chu Ying to ride with him.Liu Xianglian is Chu Ying's senior brother, he can be regarded as a father and brother, and can accompany and make decisions.Chu Ying was invited to leave, and the two of them chattered eagerly along the way, and they didn't know what they said, but they knew that Shi Xiangyun was still reluctant to leave when he got off the car, and made an appointment that if Chu Ying came to Jia's mansion, he would come to look for her, and the two people separated .

Shi Xiangyun and his party headed in the direction of Jia's mansion, and Chu Ying's carriage could only wait in place.You Jiayuan lives in Xicheng, no one knows exactly where.

Liu Xianglian did not leave immediately because he insisted on sending Chu Ying home.But Chu Ying insisted not to let him send it off, and the two inevitably had an awkward fight through the curtain of the carriage.Now that she has made a decision, how can Liu Xianglian back down, "If you say no, I can't go by myself? Your mother also told me last time, thank you for saving my life, and let me definitely come home when it is convenient for me. This time I will visit her old man, can't I?"

Thinking that Mrs. Zheng was only in her early thirties, Xiu Ying couldn't help laughing, "What kind of old man is she? You know, they wrote to me several times urging me, but it took me several months to come. Me and you Make a bet, once she enters the door, she will definitely scold me. I don't want you to see my joke!"

When Liu Xianglian heard it, she was both funny and heartbroken, "Then I have to go, at least she's too embarrassed to scold you so hard in front of me; don't worry, no matter if I beat you or scold you, I will take care of you." Block it, don't let her move a finger of yours."

"Who are you to me? Why do you have to block me?" Xuying blushed slightly, and turned her head away; no matter whether she admits it or not, this person is always entangled and repeatedly cut, justified, just like the injustice of her previous life. From time to time, she would have a strange feeling, sometimes she hated him so much that she hated him so much, and then thought he was awkward and cute; in her eyes, sometimes he was like a rebellious teenager, with a cold face The bottom is a lonely soul; more often, she seems to be able to see his growth and change, see his eagerness and shyness.

The curse lay in her heart, she couldn't believe that the two of them would have a good ending, so she repeatedly resisted and repelled; once he wanted to get close, she would ruthlessly refuse.

As for Liu Xianglian, although the two of them were unhappy when they met for the first time, she still left a deep impression on him.She is deceitful but sincere in dealing with people, sometimes she is calm and timid; if she is thick-skinned, her self-esteem is stronger than anyone else; if she is strong, she will actually cry, and more often she It is to hold on, leaving the strongest and most optimistic side to the family.

She thinks about everyone in the family, whether it is the grandmother, younger siblings, or even the servants.Sometimes Liu Xianglian even wondered, if she was also a member of her family, would she also think about him?Thinking that he might not be as good as that clan brother Yuan Xu who just recognized him in her heart, he felt very uncomfortable.

"From the master's point of view, we are brothers and sisters; you don't want to talk to me, we have known each other for so long; I should protect you both emotionally and rationally; I will send you back first, if your mother talks to you well, I'll leave immediately, and I'm also worried about you." After thinking for a long time, Liu Xianglian finally said seriously.He also knew that she was a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person, as long as he was careful, she would not be able to save face.

"Who wants you to worry..." Xuanying muttered in a low voice, but the corners of her mouth curled up slightly; after realizing her gaffe, she quickly put down the curtain of the carriage and asked Mother He, "We don't know the way yet , Didn’t you tell us to wait here for someone to pick you up? Why haven’t we seen anyone yet?”

Mother He also felt strange, "The girl is waiting, the old slave will go down and have a look."

Su Ying grabbed her and glanced outside, "Isn't there someone here? He's still riding a horse, which is much more convenient than mom, mom let him go."

After a while, Xiu Ying heard that there was no movement outside, so she raised the curtain and asked Liu Xianglian, "Why don't you go again? Can't you hear everything we say?"

Liu Xianglian didn't speak, but motioned her to look out.

Xiu Ying followed his gaze and looked forward, only to see a luxurious four-horse carriage approaching from the opposite side, with seven or eight young children walking beside it, and a jujube horse sitting on it. Looking at a handsome young man in brocade clothes, the young man smiled and raised his voice and asked, "But my third aunt has arrived? My aunt has worked hard all the way, Rong'er pays tribute to you!"

It turned out to be Jia Rong!

Su Ying was startled, and her hands were sweating. She didn't expect that she would see Jia Rong before she came to Beijing.Judging from this posture, Jia Rong came to pick her up specially, but I don't know who asked him to come.

Is it Jia Zhen?Is it the eldest sister Youshi?Or is Jia Rong simply making her own claim?

In short, it can't be You Chongyi and the Zheng family, after all, these are people from the Ningguo Mansion, and there is no reason to take orders from them.

Seeing that the people in the opposite carriage were silent, Jia Rong was also afraid that she had made a mistake, so she walked closer and found Liu Xianglian beside the sedan chair. She couldn't help but wondered, "Isn't this Xianglian? When did you come to Beijing?" Why don’t you come to our house? My brother-in-law mentioned you a few days ago, saying that you are a righteous person!” The brother-in-law he was talking about was naturally Qin Zhong, Qin Keqing’s younger brother, who also had a close relationship with Liu Xianglian. .

He asked again, "Is my third aunt in this carriage? Did you come to Beijing together?"

It turned out that although Jia Rong was not very old, he was born handsome and romantic; with Jia Zhen, an outrageous old man, he was not a good person since he was a child. The Second Rong Mansion is mighty, the Rong Guo Mansion still has Amnesty and Zheng to support the facade, and the old lady Jia is in charge of the overall situation, and there is a lady who is honored and favored in the palace; as for the Ningguo Mansion, his grandfather Jia Jingzheng was a Jinshi and the head of the clan, but he was obsessed with Taoism and hid in the Taoist temple and refused to come back. Turn around.

Although he was young, he married his wife, Qin Keqing, who was charming and tactful, but also romantic and coquettish. She was a one-in-a-million beauty, but she was two years older than him in terms of age.After only a few months of marriage, Jia Rong understood why her father forced her to marry this humble woman.

My father married You Shi because of her calm personality and good advance and retreat. She had arranged for the funerals of her grandmother and biological mother one after another. You Shi was very famous in Beijing. It doesn't matter; and the beautiful wife I married is really just my wife in name, the wedding room is empty there, she has her own room, beautifully decorated, all the collections of Ningguo Mansion over the years, the people who come in and out are Who, he knew in his heart, it wasn't him anyway—his father stopped him on the grounds that he was too young, and the two never got married.

He had known for a long time what his family was like and what his father was like. It was not unusual for such a thing to happen.There are many decorations in this house, and he is not missing one of them.It's fine to just pretend outside, as long as his father is not there, he can mess around in the house, and no one cares about him.

However, there are not many people in Ningguo Mansion, and he has exhausted all the maids with slightly flat heads and straight faces; when he was newly married, Mrs. You brought the second sister You over, and he fell in love with it at a glance, and suddenly felt like a cat scratching a dog. .Seeing that his father's thoughts were still on his daughter-in-law, and he didn't have time to pay too much attention to this second aunt, he secretly rejoiced, feeling that his chance had come.

After the wedding, Mrs. Zheng, who should be called Mrs. You now, took Second Sister You to Ningguo Mansion to live several times; There is no caring person, so I can only rely on these two people.On the other hand, Mrs. Zheng married You Chongyi, and only found out about his family’s situation after arriving in Beijing—because her mother and ex-wife had died of illness one after another, and both had been sick for several years, the family had already been heavily in debt; Yes, there used to be, but now it should be sold out; You Chongyi insisted on saving some money to buy a dowry for Youshi, after all, he is going to marry into the Duke's mansion, even if he is a second wife, he can't be too shameless , So Zheng's money was paid out a large part, and they were already a family, and You Shi also called her old lady, how could she have the nerve to hold the money and not give it?This is also the dignity of their You family, isn't it?

In order to maintain the family's life, Zheng had to buy a new shop in the capital land, this entry and exit, and the market in the capital is different from Jinling, Zheng's loss is not insignificant.Even more than half of the pension money she set aside in advance and the dowry of the second sister went.But there was You Chongyi coaxing sweetly, You Shi screaming as a mother, and ordinary people shouting and flattering, Zheng Shi didn't care about the pain anymore, and only wanted her own daughter to be the same. Climb a tall branch.

I also have two daughters, both of whom are raised like flowers. Youshi can marry well when she is old, let alone her daughter.

Zheng Shi, who became a member of You Lao'an, was already dazed.

Liu Xianglian was also a little surprised to see that Jia Rong still remembered herself; although he knew some people in Jia's mansion, they didn't have much contact with each other. The son of the housekeeper, Lai Da, is just a respectable slave; Liu Xianglian doesn't talk about status when interacting with people, so she gets along better with them.

Seeing Jia Rong's question, he also cupped his hands, "I also heard that brother Qin has been studying at the mansion, and he came over these few days, and was going to meet him for a while." Then he glanced at the carriage next to him "In the car is my junior sister. I was entrusted by Master to personally escort her to Beijing, and I will escort her back in a few days. As for whether it is your third aunt, I don't know. How about I ask for you?"

Jia Rong had jumped off the horse a long time ago, and she was about to lift the curtain of the carriage with a smile on her face, "Why do you ask? Whether it is true or not, I can tell at a glance."
