When he came to the courtyard, Jia Lian looked up at the starry sky, a thin cloak was draped over his shoulders, and he looked back at the maid Hongxiu that Xing had newly found for him, but he didn't know that thousands of miles away, at this moment, Lin Ruhai also draped a plain white cloak on Daiyu's shoulders.

It turned out that Lin Ruhai came to take a look at Jia Min, but saw Daiyu standing alone outside the mourning hall, looking up at the extraordinarily bright sky tonight. The maids were all standing far away, and Jin'er was walking around anxiously with a cloak in her hand, so she took it and put it on Daiyu.

Daiyu sensed the familiar aura, and did not look back, and whispered: "Father said that the star is the mother?" Lin Ruhai was very puzzled about how Daiyu could have such an idea, but before she could speak, she heard Daiyu continue: "I heard that people become stars after death, and they have always guarded the people she loves, and my mother loves us." Is that right? Saying that, Daiyu suddenly turned her head to stare at Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai's eyes turned red when he saw Daiyu like this, and he also looked up at the sky, he was afraid that he would not be able to help but shed tears, although he was surprised where Daiyu heard these strange words. But he was silent for a while and didn't delve into it, and a deep voice sounded in Daiyu's ears: "Your mother loves us very much." Just one sentence seemed to have exhausted all of Lin Ruhai's strength, and the father and daughter no longer had the strength to say anything.

Jia Lian looked at the sky for a while, but Hongxiu said softly on the side: "Master, go back, it's late." "I came back to my senses. nodded and was about to go back, but suddenly stopped, turned back to Hongxiu and said, "Go and see if the girl can rest, if not, say I'll find her." ”

Hongxiu knew that "girl" meant welcoming spring. Jia Lian has changed a lot since he came back from Yangzhou, and several maids who were originally with him have been sent out. Hongxiu was recently selected by the Xing family from among the several families that his wife had married. It's not a good color, but it's smart. Jia Lian was also reluctant to refute Xing's kindness, so he accepted her.

Hongxiu is smart, knowing that Jia Lian is very taboo, the "second master Lian" has never called him "master", Jia Lian is very satisfied with this. The house calls the old man "big master" and the wife Xing "big lady", and Jia Lian is very dissatisfied with this. Therefore, there is a rule in the East Cross Courtyard, that is, each has its own opinion. In the East Cross Courtyard, there are only "masters", "wives" and "masters".

Although Yingchun was raised by the old lady's side, the house called her "second girl", but she was the only one when the people in the East Cross Courtyard said "girl". It is because Hongxiu knows that the person Jia Lian wants to see is to welcome the spring. But at this time, he did not hurry to look for it, and asked, "What should I say if the old lady asks?" What if the people on the other side have a problem? ”

Jia Lian nodded with satisfaction, and said without thinking: "No matter who asks, just say bluntly that Ming'er will go out of Beijing and go to Yangzhou, and see my sister before leaving." That's what I've said everywhere. Hongxiu nodded clearly, and then squatted down to salute before retreating.

After a while, Yingchun followed Hongxiu over accompanied by Si Qi. Jia Lian looked at Yingchun, who couldn't reach his shoulders, wearing a half-old embroidered plum cloud brocade gown, covering a lotus gown that was also half-old and not new. A slightly shorter pleated skirt. He wore only one beaded flower on his head, two silk flowers dotted with it, and a pair of glass pendants on his ears.

When Jia Lian looked at Yingchun, Hongxiu quietly retreated. Jia Lian couldn't help but be a little angry at this time, but he didn't pay attention, thinking of the young Daiyu, what kind of romance was that? Even Daiyu doesn't love a lot of jewelry, but it's always bright and bright. Let's take a look at the Spring Festival...... Jia Lian had no choice but to sigh in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

Although she has an aunt who is still there, not to mention the three illnesses and five disasters. Even the temperament is like a wooden man. If it weren't for Wang Baoshan's poor eyes on Yingchun, and greedy for good errands around the girl, he arranged his granddaughter Si Qi to be next to Yingchun, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see it like this now, right?

Jia Lian is observing her sister-in-law welcoming spring. How can Yingchun not look at this rare brother-in-law? Jia Lian has red lips and white teeth, a bright forehead, and a light cyan moire shirt. The waist is tied with a green jade tunic of the same color, and a white jade double jade pendant is pressed on the hem of the clothes. It's very handsome. I can't help but sigh in my heart, in the end, the grandchildren are different.

Jia Lian also looked at himself carefully when he saw Yingchun. There was no annoyance, only waved her hand, Hongxiu squatted down and bowed quietly, Si Qi was also looking at Jia Lian, she knew that Jia Lian and Mrs. Xing had a good relationship in the past six months, and when she saw Hongxiu retreat, she hesitated to look at Jia Lian and then look at Yingchun, whether she could decide or not.

Jia Lian was not polite to her, and said straightly: "Go and give your girl that cloak, and I don't know how to go out to add a dress to the girl when it's cold every night." There was a lot of dissatisfaction in his tone, and Yingchun was surprised when he saw this, but he only nodded at Si Qi, who was looking at him.

When only the two brothers and sisters were left, Jia Lian didn't know where to start for a while, so he frowned slightly and looked at Yingchun silently. Yingchun was worried when he saw this, and he didn't know what Jia Lian was going to do when he called him, so he said carefully: "I don't know if Second Brother Lian called me over, but there is something wrong?" ”

The sentence "Second Brother Lian" ignited Jia Lian's anger, and he reprimanded a little uncontrollably: "I was just 'Second Brother Lian' in your heart? Then who is your big brother! Jia Lian's words were very serious, and Yingchun couldn't help but take half a step back and his eyes were red, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing Yingchun like this, Jia Lian also knew that his tone was heavy, and he said lightly: "You remember, in this world, I, Jia Lian, am your own brother!" Whenever you will take care of you, there are only those who are related to you. After speaking, he stared at Yingchun and stopped talking.

Although Yingchun was surprised that Jia Lian had such a tone and look, he also knew that there was no malicious intent, so he nodded in confusion. Seeing that Yingchun nodded, Jia Lian continued: "Your father is a first-class general named by the Holy Lord, you are the eldest daughter of the first-class general's mansion, and you are also the only girl in the first-class general's mansion!" Do you understand this? ”

Yingchun thought about the eldest sister Yuanchun, what kind of style was that? Can you compare yourself to her? Yingchun was young in the end, so he asked in his heart, but Jia Lian smiled when he heard it: "Yuanchun is Yuanchun, you are you, why compare?" Yuan Chun is my cousin, but you are my own sister, is it the same? ”

Speaking of this, Jia Lian saw that Yingchun was still at a loss, frowned and sighed lightly before saying more bluntly: "Yuanchun, that's the girl of my uncle's family, and you are my father's daughter." Now it's just the old lady still there. You can't just split up. "Jia Lian said a 'can't', which completely shocked Yingchun!

Yingchun looked at Jia Lian with panic in his eyes, and opened his mouth to say something but couldn't say it. Jia Lian thought about it for a while, changed the topic and said to her, "Aunt went." Tomorrow morning, I will leave for Yangzhou. This may be a year or two or more. After speaking, Jia Lian stopped talking, and only looked at Yingchun.

Yingchun hasn't been able to recover from the panic just now. At this time, Jia Lian suddenly said that he was leaving, and Yingchun replied without thinking: "Haven't you heard?" Seeing that Yingchun was like this, Jia Lian laughed out loud. Jia Lian smiled, and Yingchun suddenly felt less nervous.

Jia Lian didn't answer her words, thought about the previous topic and turned back: "Since you are the daughter of your parents, you should also do your filial piety over there." When Yingchun heard this, she thought that Jia Lian reproached her for being unfilial, so her face turned white, and her body trembled a little. Jia Lian didn't want to scare her and make her misunderstand anything.

After thinking for a moment, he continued: "Ming'er, I'm leaving, you can go to the wife's house more." Not to mention the morning and dusk, it is also time to go and say goodbye. Jia Lian is actually envious of Daiyu, the family is so beautiful, and she thinks that she can try her best. Especially when she left Yangzhou, Daiyu persuaded herself to get close to Xing's affairs.

After coming back, he didn't work hard, but when Xing was as respectful as Jia Min, Xing began to care about himself, and he sighed very much in his heart. Inevitably, before leaving, he said two sentences to welcome the spring, so he said: "You are a girl's family, you can't compare to the masters." You'll be eleven in a year. In another year or two, it will be the age to say goodbye. ”

Speaking of which, not to mention how Yingchun's face is red and his ears are red, even Jia Lian himself has a red neck. At this time, he had to say and continued: "The old lady is too old to manage a lot, even if she does, how long can she manage you?" The second wife is just an aunt in the end. Yuanchun has already made arrangements, can he still take care of you? ”

This is straightforward enough, but Jia Lian doesn't think it's enough. continued to blush: "You should also know what kind of character my father has. In the future, you will have to rely on your mother. Although the mother is just filling the house, she is not from a big family. But in the final analysis, the mother-in-law is the mother-in-law. Speaking of this, Jia Lian stopped and looked at Yingchun carefully, and when he saw Yingchun bowing his head and being silent, he couldn't help but ask again: "Do you understand?" ”

No one has ever said such words to Yingchun, but although Yingchun is timid and cowardly, he is not a fool, so he naturally heard the concern in Jia Lian's words, so he also nodded. Seeing Yingchun nodding, Jia Lian was very pleased, and continued: "I will leave early in the morning, and I can't take care of you much, so I have nothing to do to go to my mother's room to sit, which is not only to fulfill my filial piety, but also to be good for yourself." ”

Seeing that Yingchun nodded without a different color this time, Jia Lian continued: "If you lack anything, you can also let Si Qi pass the word to Wang Baoshan's family, or you can find your mother by yourself." Mother has no children under her knees," said here and paused, and only when Yingchun raised his head to look at him in confusion did he continue: "There are no daughters! The tone was very serious, "You understand"

Is there anything I don't understand about such a spring greeting? I was grateful in my heart, no one had ever planned for myself like this, and I didn't realize that there were tears in my eyes, and I looked at Jia Lian seriously and said, "Brother's words, my sister understands." Brother, rest assured, my sister will honor her parents. My brother is more careful about his body when he is outside. ”

Jia Lian was very happy to hear that Yingchun was not calling herself 'Second Brother Lian', and seeing that she looked sincere and very satisfied, she nodded and said, "Ming'er, before I leave, I will propose to my mother to put you in my name." In the end, these words shocked Yingchun again, but at the moment it was a surprise, not a fright.

How did Yingchun not understand the meaning of being recorded in Xing's name? Even if Xing's is filling the house, it is also the lady of the main room! Tanchun didn't hesitate to abandon his mother, Aunt Zhao, and even ignored his younger brother Brother Huan'er, isn't it just to please his mother? But the second wife never said that she would be recorded in her name. Jia Lian's words can be described as thunder, which made Yingchun's heart turn upside down.

Jia Lian saw that Si Qi had returned, so he didn't say anything more, and only whispered to Yingchun: "I don't know if it will succeed or not, let's try it tomorrow, if it doesn't work, I will find a chance in the future, and it won't be a big deal." He looked at Si Qi and said, "It's late and send the girl back to rest early, and if there is anything, go to your grandmother Wang Baoshan's house." But this was said to Si Qi.

Si Qi didn't know what the brother and sister said, but saw Yingchun full of tears, biting his lip and looking at Jia Lian, suspecting that Jia Lian said something about Yingchun, so he wanted to open his mouth to distinguish two sentences for Yingchun, but he didn't want Yingchun to squat down for Jia Lian very respectfully, and said without getting up: "My sister will follow my brother's teachings, and I will definitely honor my parents at home, and also do my filial piety for my brother, and my brother must take care of himself when he is outside." ”

Seeing that the spring is like this, how can Jia Lian not be happy? He took two steps forward to help Yingchun, and said aloud with a smile: "Go, it's cold and the night is deep, be careful of the road." He said to Si Qi again: "If the girl hands it over to you, you have to pay more attention." After speaking, he didn't wait for Si Qi to react, waved his hand to Yingchun and turned to leave.

After Jia Lian left, Si Qi was about to ask Yingchun, but when he saw Yingchun looking at Jia Lian's back, he couldn't stop crying, and suddenly panicked and asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" "I wanted to say if Second Master Lian was scolding, but I didn't look like it, and I didn't know how to ask for a while.

Yingchun didn't pay attention to her, and after looking at it for a while, she saw Jia Lian turn the verandah, and when she couldn't see her figure, she smiled at Si Qi: "Let's go, let's go back, get up early tomorrow!" The tone was very brisk, and although there were tears in his eyes, there was a smile. In this way, Si Qi didn't ask any more, and went back to the old lady's courtyard with Yingchun.
