CHAPTER XXIII

On this day, Yingchun Tanchun was playing chess in the house, and the embroidered orange suddenly came in from outside, and said with a smile: "Girl, the third master has sent something to the girl again!" ”

Yingchun hurriedly stood up, only to see Jia Cong commanding two mothers-in-law with five big and three thick mothers-in-law to carry a green sandalwood chessboard in and said with a smile: "This is what I got a few days ago, so that someone could do a good job of sending it to my sister." He glanced at the room again, frowned, and said, "Sister, this room is too small." ”

Yingchun said angrily: "How small is it? Who told you to send things over every day? It was never small. ”

Jia Cong pouted: "Can you blame me?" Those wives and grandmothers sent me all sorts of things, and I don't love that. Then he said depressedly, "Why didn't anyone give me a pair of bows and arrows?" ”

said that Yingchun Tanchun smiled: "What is it that you give someone a recipe and someone gives you a return gift?" ”

Mother Xu, who was next to Yingchun, flattered her: "Now only the third master is the most generous in the mansion, and the second girl's waist is straight." ”

Jia Cong smiled: "You say that I am generous, and it seems unreasonable not to reward you for your ideas." "Nai let the red. Sleeve gave her a purse. Now Jia Cong lacks nothing and is not short of money, as long as he is in a good mood, he is very generous in rewarding people. Red. Sleeve himself is already a rich man, and he also knows that their father is rich, so he doesn't stop it.

Mother Xu smiled like an old chrysanthemum and said, "I'm rewarded by the third master again." Xi Zizi took the purse and hid it in his sleeve.

When Na Xu's mother went out, Jia Cong told Yingchun and said: "Sister is also generous, our house was originally full of snobs, and now my sister is not short of money, why not take advantage of the situation to reward them more?" It's better to make people smile than to face a black face every day. To put it mildly, in addition to their own flesh and blood, there are a few people who are good to others in their hearts, and they don't care if they are sincere. Jia Cong has become richer and richer because of the many days he has been attached to Jia Yu and the number of times he has gone to the mansion in the south of the city, and the money smuggled to Yingchun has naturally risen.

Yingchun glanced at him: "That's it, I just got a few more money, and I only think about it every day." ”

Jia Cong snorted: "The problems that can be solved with money are not big problems. ”

Tanchun watched from the sidelines with great envy. Jia Cong is now able to support the table for Yingchun. Whenever he came to see his sister, everyone wanted to show his face inside. They already knew that when the third master Cong was in the second girl's house, anyone who flattered the second girl would be rewarded. Yingchun himself often rewards people, but I know how much Jia Cong stuffed his sister behind his back. It's not even about sending things every once in a while. Jia Huan is clearly one year older, but he can't get on the stage for half a point.

Jia Cong immediately understood when he saw it, and he was a little embarrassed. He opened the plug-in, how can Jia Huan compare? Because of turning the head to red. Sleeve and Si Qi winked. The two of them understood, and hurriedly drove the little girl in the house out, and covered the door again, and the two of them were guarding outside.

Jia Congyin whispered to Tanchun: "If it is inconvenient for Brother Huan to learn calligraphy, is it good to let him sneak to my house to learn martial arts from time to time with the second master on his back?" The second master doesn't look down on martial artists at all in his heart, and everyone knows it. If he came over to learn martial arts from Mi'er, and Mi'er was just a bodyguard or a child, the second wife might not stop him. Saying that, Chong Tanchun squeezed his eyes.

Tanchun is so smart, I immediately understood. Standing up and bowing to him with tears: "If this is the case, your brother will be entrusted to you." ”

Jia Cong waved his hand again and again: "Third sister, don't be like this, I don't feel good either." Everyone is raised by their aunts, not on their own, but on whom? ”

Said that the tears of the spring came down at the time.

He said again: "It's just that Aunt Zhao's mouth is broken, and she loves face very much." The third sister couldn't make a hard appointment with her. The third sister was smart, and she tried to coax her, and in order to get a reputation for her brother in the future, she had to sew her mouth shut. endure for a while and live happily for the rest of your life. ”

Tanchun nodded: "I know this." Huan'er is her top child, others are just fine, what else can't she do for Huan'er? There was no hint of sourness in his words.

Jia Cong remembered the countless analysis and comments on Tanchun in later generations, and was not at ease, so he instructed a few more words: "I know that the life of the third sister is not much better than that of my sister before, and I also know that it is difficult to survive under the nose of the second wife." Now there are only two more words, and I ask the third sister to forgive me after I ask the third sister to forgive. ”

Tanchun saw that he was serious, and hurriedly said, "You just have to say it." ”

Jia Cong sorted out his thoughts, and Fang said: "Now it doesn't matter whether the second wife really loves the third sister or is fake, just treat her as real." Even if she has the ability to reach the sky, she is just an inner house girl. If the third sister wants to rely on her, don't dream. Aunt Zhao is the same. Although she was favored by her second uncle, it was just like that, what was she when it really mattered? The third sister wants to have a good husband in the future, and she wants to have a dependency when she leaves the cabinet, except for Brother Huan, there is no one else. I'm not saying that Brother Baoyu will treat the third sister badly, it's just that he's too charitable: it's okay to meet a good guy, he can't do anything when he meets a bad guy, don't expect him to fight for you or fight for anything - he himself is powerless. The third sister is a smart person, and I still said that the problems that can be solved with money are not big problems. The third sister thinks about it. After speaking, he made a gesture, and immediately turned his head to Yingchun and said, "Sister, I want new clothes." ”

Yingchun Fang made him stunned, still thinking about it, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "I'll do it for you!" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said, "My sister is the best." ”

Jia Cong Suri is very clear in terms of titles. Jia Lian is the second brother, and Jia Baoyu is the brother of Baoyu. Yingchun is sometimes the second sister、Recently, more and more people call her sister。 It is inevitable to add three or four words to the front of the spring and cherish the spring.

Tanchun thought for a long time and said, "Since Brother Cong has talked about this, I can't care about it now." One day I will go out of the door of this house, and my aunt will not be able to say a word; It's just our wife who calls the shots. It's not that I don't want to be a sister Huan'er, you know, how can they go to the table? What can I expect? After that, the tears were already soaked with the embroidered handkerchief.

Jia Cong shook his head again and again, and sighed: "I only think that the third sister is an aspirant, am I wrong?" If you're so unambitious, that's fine. ”

Tanchun hurriedly said: "Cong'er, although you are young, you are smarter than us, and people say that you are a good wealth boy in the next life." Tell me, I am dull and do not understand very well. ”

Jia Cong said: "Third sister, in today's world, this man has the power of the world, and women are only in the inner house regardless of their talent. This is a helpless thing, even if the third sister is not convinced, I am afraid that it will not change much in recent years. ”

The tears of Tanchun came down again.

"Therefore, when the sisters discuss marriage in the coming days, most of them do not look at the talent and virtue - it is coaxing; It's about looking at the family, the father, the brother. Now, the third sister's family and father have been decided, and there is no way to change it. Only the brother is still a variable. No matter how much the second wife loves you, even if she records you in her name, you are still raised by your aunt and married to your mother-in-law's family. What she can do is at most to pick the best among the people who are not worthy of the third sister. However, the gap between the 'best' and the 'worst' may not be that big. This 'best' is still not worthy of the talent and character of the third sister. She only has so much power, what else? The only one who can bring great variables to the third sister, and this variable is so big that the third brother-in-law in the coming day is really worthy of a character like the third sister, and the only one who is your mother's brother Huan. "As far as Jia Tanchun is concerned, Mrs. Wang's Aunt Zhao is at most a bank, how much she saves, and the interest rate is higher or lower; Jia Huan is the gem, if he is lucky, he will pull n up and down boards, and the whole value will be different.

He glanced at Yingchun and said proudly: "I dare to say that my sister will come out of the pavilion in the future, no worse than any random daughter-in-law, and she will have a long talent for her to choose!" It is because I myself have been cold-eyed that I am willing to work hard and fight. Looking back at Tanchun Dao again, "The third sister thinks that with Brother Baoyu being so favored and raised so comfortably every day, how likely is it to go to the court to fight for fame?" If he doesn't fight for himself, why should he fight for the identity of the third sister? ”

Said to be terrifying. Yes, Baoyu treats the sisters very well. It's just that his temperament Tanchun also knows how to go to the court to fight for fame? It would be nice to keep the wealth of this family.

Jia Cong said: "I am not very familiar with Brother Huan, and I am not sure that he will have a future in the future. It's just that now he is the only one who has the potential to change the fate of the third sister. Except for him, everyone else has limited abilities, whether it is Baoyu's brother or the second wife. Comparing hearts to hearts, exchanging hearts for hearts, people's hearts are flesh and blood. After all, the two of you are flesh and blood, and no one else can compare to him, and he is only one year older than me. ”

At this point, he didn't say more, and turned around like nothing to pester, pestering Yingchun to ask for a handkerchief and a purse. Yingchun made him cry for two lines, naturally he wanted something to give. His sister and brother had been arguing for a long time, turned their heads to see that Tanchun was still in a daze, and couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that my sisters gave birth to the wrong day." ”

Yingchun hurriedly asked: "What was born on the wrong day?" ”

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "It's nothing. It's just that I think...... Pity. If one day I can have the final say in the imperial court, I will ask the third sister to be the secretary of the household department. ”

Tanchun burst into tears and laughed: "Why isn't it the prime minister?" ”

Jia Cong said: "I'm not afraid that the third sister will annoy me, you are not a prime minister." ”

Tanchun hurriedly asked: "Then according to you, who is the prime minister?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Naturally, it's me Mr. Lin." Hengzhu has already worshiped the teacher, why not worship again? ”

"It turned out to be her." Tanchun nodded and said, "Sister Lin is respectful." Because he smiled and asked, "What about the second sister?" ”

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister's temperament, it's better to be a staff member with me." ”

Yingchun said with a smile: "It's not bad to be a staff member, it's a little better, if the household department has so many accounts to count, my eyes are spent." ”

Jia Cong spread his hands: "What am I talking about?" ”

Tanchun only wanted to speak, but this time he listened to the red outside. Sleeve said loudly: "Hello Miss Lin! And he drew up the curtains.

I saw Daiyu wearing new crimson clothes and walking in with a smile. It turned out that the boy who delivered the letter had just returned from Suzhou, and in addition to the family letter, he also brought her a small box of stubborn weapons and two pieces of new clothing for Lin Ruhai.

Yingchun Tanchun smiled: "At first glance, this color really looks like an official robe." Lin Xiangye is here! Greetings to Lin Xiang. ”

Daiyu was puzzled and asked them what they were laughing at.

Tanchun stepped forward and said with a smile: "Cong'er said that he can preside over the court in the coming day, and only give me a household book, but he wants to worship Sister Lin and you." ”

Lin Daiyu was in a good mood at this time, and when she heard this, she was in a hurry, and blurted out a promise: "If you really worship me as your appearance, I will protect you for thousands of miles!" ”

Tanchun hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, whisper." ”

Jia Cong said annoyedly: "The third sister is really disappointing, it's just some naughty jokes, who will take it seriously?" Nai stretched out a fleshy little slap to Lin Daiyu, "Mr. Lin, let's high-five: the gentleman has a word-"

Seeing that he was serious, Lin Daiyu suddenly felt playful, and also stretched out his palm to strike: "It's hard to chase the horse!" ”

"Smack!"
