Because of the mention of Jia Baoyu's homework, Jia's mother was not in the mood to listen to these juniors discuss the matter of choosing a place to live, so she just asked a little and let the juniors go, and when she left, she also told Jia Baoyu to remember Jia Jiu's words and take a little time to copy a homework every day.

When he got out of Jia's mother's main room, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but attack Jia Jiu: "Second sister, you are really, how can you mention this on such a day." What a disappointment! ”

Jia Jiu glanced at him and said, "Should I just say nothing, wait for Baoyu to anger the second uncle, be beaten by the second uncle, and then shed tears on the side?" Rather than wait for tears to fall in the future, I might as well urge him now and let him take fewer beatings. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Isn't it easy to do homework? A few of our sisters helped him copy some of them. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "So, what if the second uncle does a spot check?" Can you guarantee that he will answer them all? ”

Shi Xiangyun was stunned.

Jia Jiu stared at Jia Baoyu, who was standing at the foot of the steps but secretly looked at this side from time to time with the corner of his eye, and said, "Baoyu, if it's your previous homework, you can indeed ask your sisters to help you make up for it." But to be honest, I hate this kind of cheating, and I don't have the time to help you get it. I'll just ask you, do you really want the old lady to worry about you every time? Or do you want to see the disappointed face of the second uncle after discovering that you were cheating? ”

Jia Baoyu lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Jia Jiu didn't expect him to speak, and walked straight past him with Jia Qian, Jia Qing and Xing Xiuyan, and went to the gate to take the car. They also had to go to Madame Xing's house.

Waiting for Jia Jiu and the four of them to leave. Only then did I hear Shi Xiangyun say: "The second sister is really true, and she doesn't help my brother." ”

Xue Baochai's heart jumped, and he glanced at Shi Xiangyun again.

Shi Xiangyun was calling Jia Baoyu. is always called Brother Ai, but when she is called Jia Jiu, she is always the second sister. said that he rapped and couldn't distinguish between two and love, but he never called Jia Jiu by mistake; said that he didn't rap, but every time he called Jia Baoyu, he almost called it wrong.

Many years ago, Xue Baochai paid attention. But it didn't feel so clear and so shocking to him today.

Tanchun glanced at Shi Xiangyun and then at Xue Baochai, and immediately decided which side he should be on.

He said, "Sister Yun." The second sister is right. We can indeed help copy some homework and deal with the master's inspection. But if the old man suddenly made a spot check, the second brother couldn't answer. Then the old man was more than angry. ”

Tanchun turned around. said to Jia Baoyu: "Second brother, we are about to move to the garden, and the second sister also said that the matter of supervision will not be done until summer." It's better for the second brother to start copying today, starting with the simplest, as much as he can copy, as long as he can remember it, it's good. As for the rest. If the old man asked, the second brother could say that he had too much fun during the New Year. I can't remember some things. Otherwise, a few of us were busy for two days, helping to copy some. The old man saw that the second brother had homework in his hands, and saw that the second brother didn't know anything, maybe he wouldn't be so angry. ”

Jia Baoyu hates reading the most in his life, and when he heard Jia Jiu say that, he was already depressed, and now he heard Tanchun say the same, and he became more and more uncomfortable.

When Shi Xiangyun saw Jia Baoyu's appearance, he immediately said, "Third sister, what are you talking about?!" Love your brother is your brother, not your brother. ”

When Tanchun heard this, his face turned red.

Xue Baochai hurriedly played a round: "Sister Yun, the third sister is very right. The most important thing here is nothing else, how to deal with possible inspections. Didn't you hear that? This year, the imperial court opened Enke. It's just that there is no such thing as a supervision, if the master sees the new champion parade on the street, where will he not be touched? He said to Jia Baoyu again: "Brother Bao, don't worry, even if you move into the garden, there are still many things outside the garden that need to be taken care of." At that time, the master may not be free. During this time, you might as well memorize two more pages. Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light. ”

Tanchun also said: "Second brother, if you think it's not interesting to study alone, then it's the same if we go back and go to you together." Everyone copied books together and listened to Sister Bao talk about books together, which is also a meaning. ”

Tanchun didn't want to praise Xue Baochai, but for the sake of his future, he had to choose to bow his head.

However, instead of bowing to Xue Baochai for other things, this kind of bowing for his own brother Jia Baoyu, whether it is said and spreading, for him, the loss is the smallest, and maybe he will curry favor with Mrs. Wang in disguise.

This abacus has been played meticulously in Tanchun.

Xue Baoqin also said that he was willing to study with everyone.

Jia Baoyu originally hated reading, but when the sisters Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, who had the best eyes, said this, he could only nod.

Everyone knows that people like Jia Baoyu want to strike while the iron is hot. Therefore, except for Li Kun and the Li sisters, the rest of the people agreed to meet in Jia Baoyu's courtyard for a while, and then dispersed.

Shi Xiangyun lived in the back garden with Tanchun, because Tanchun didn't help him speak, and Shi Xiangyun didn't talk to Tanchun all the way. When I walked to the door of the back garden, I saw a Zhu Lunbao car parked at the door, and there was a girl standing around the car.

Tanchun was very surprised, and hurriedly rushed forward and said, "Fourth sister, why are you back here?" Why don't you go and say hello to the old lady first? ”

Xichun looked at him, then at Shi Xiangyun, who was a few steps behind, and said, "Well, I'm back." There was no joy on his face, and he didn't say anything about asking Jia's mother to say goodbye.

It was Shi Xiangyun, who saw the girl and the mother-in-law who entered the painting with a slippery child, and the two of them were carrying boxes one by one and were lining up to move them to the back garden, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?" How is there so much stuff? ”

Xichun glanced at him and said, "The two sisters should have heard about it, right?" I'm not going to go to the garden. ”

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Yes, it's a pity." The scenery in the garden is so good, I didn't even have time to take a good look at it last time. ……”

Xichun interrupted Shi Xiangyun's words. "My father promised me to teach me to draw in person." ”

Tanchun's reaction was fast, and he immediately said, "Master Jing is coming back?" ”

Tanchun is just a concubine. actually called Jia Jing's name, and refused to even call the eldest uncle, which naturally made Xichun angry.

Xichun's voice became even colder: "I wasn't from this house. It's just because my mother died early and my father was unwilling to remarry, so he handed me over to the old lady. To tell the truth, the old lady is old, and my father doesn't expect the old lady to give us any pointers. It's just that the aunts around the second sister are all from the palace, and I hope they can guide me one or two. As he spoke, he gestured to a few new grandmothers beside him. said: "This is the new grandma that Rong's daughter-in-law found for me, and she also came out of the palace." Now that I'm older, I can't play like I used to. ”

Lonely little children are prone to quirks. Xichun is young, and she can't play with a few sisters. Plus his identity is also expensive. Even Tanchun, who was closer to him in age, avoided him. If it is still the Rongguo Mansion headed by Mrs. Wang, if it is still those minions who dare to talk nonsense, maybe Xichun will be the same as in the original book.

But when Jia Jiu came, things changed.

Mrs. Wang is no longer at home, and the servants in the family have also been cleaned up several times, and naturally no one dares to say behind her back that she cherishes the spring birth and loses her mother, her mother, and is unlucky. On the contrary, in order not to wronged this little sister, Jia Jiu only needs to get something good. Some will be given to the cherished spring. In other words, Jia Jiu only needs to send things to the Huansha Pavilion. I will definitely send something to Xichun; If Jia Jiu sent something to Xichun, he would not necessarily send something to the Huansha Pavilion. Moreover, the gifts are very intimate, not toys that little girls like, or things that can be used in the spring.

Because of Jia Jiu's attitude, even if Xichun did not live in Jia Jiu's yard, he had never suffered any grievances, plus Qin Keqing of Ningguo Mansion was in charge, and Qin Keqing was a meticulous person, so it was even more impossible for Xichun to be wronged.

Since Xichun is the girl with the highest background in the Jia family, she is naturally a little arrogant. When he was in Jia's mother's courtyard before, he had been angry with Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, and he was also snubbed by Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, so he had a mediocre attitude towards Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, and even a little cold. As for Jia Jiu, in Xichun's opinion, it was just that this sister was powerless to help herself before, but later this sister had spare strength, so she didn't forget herself. Therefore, Xichun's evaluation of Jia Jiu is okay.

Of course, in the eyes of Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, this fourth sister is strange.

Tanchun saw a few new faces behind Xichun, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. On the contrary, it was Shi Xiangyun, who heard Xichun say this, and immediately said: "The fourth sister is unwilling to help?" ”

Xichun frowned and said, "What's the hurry?" ”

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said.

Xichun said: "Books are for yourself. ”

But he refused to say more, and walked away.

Shi Xiangyun almost didn't react, pointed to the back of Xichun who was gone, and said, "Third sister, look at the fourth sister!" ”

Tanchun looked at Xichun, who was gradually walking away under the service of the girl's grandmother, and said faintly: "The fourth sister is the clan branch in the end. ”

"What?"

Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened, but Tanchun lost the strength to speak and left.

Shi Xiangyunkou watched in amazement as Tanchun entered the back garden, only then did he react, stomped his feet, and followed.

Tanchun returned to his yard, feeling weak, but saw Qingwen with two little girls, each holding a small box in their hands.

When Qingwen saw Tanchun, she immediately saluted Tanchun: "The maid has seen the three girls." ”

Tanchun said: "It turned out to be Qingwen." The second sister asked you to come over, but what's the matter? ”

Qingwen replied: "Back to the third girl's words, our girl said that others can shirk the matter of the second master, but the girl can't shirk it." It's just that the girl has only moved into the back garden for a short time, and she doesn't have a lot of things to think about. Inside these two boxes are the paper that the house bought for the girls and young masters in the old years, and they have been placed for three or four years. Our girl said that the girl said that she could not use it this time, and asked the servants to bring it to the girl. ”

Not only can it be used, but it is simply a charcoal in the snow. With these papers, Tanchun can imitate Jia Baoyu's handwriting well, and it doesn't need to be very similar, as long as it is seven or eight points, it can be mixed up.

Tanchun hurriedly said, "Second sister is bothered. He added: "These things, could it be that the second sister asked people to find them in the warehouse?" ”

Qingwen replied, "If you go back to the girl, no. These turned out to be our girls' examples. Our girls often have to copy books, and the paper prepared in the house is often insufficient. Later, Daomen added an extra touch to our girl's example. It's just that the paper prepared in the house is different from the paper sent by the Daomen, and our girl used all the paper sent by the Daomen in order to make the copied books look more neat, and later sent someone to buy them, and they also went to the shops of the Daomen to buy them. , Naturally, the regulations prepared by the house can only be put away. Our girl said that since the girl wants to help Bao Er Ye make up for the previous homework, it should be easier to use these papers to convince people. ”

When Tanchun heard this, he couldn't help but admire Jia Jiu's meticulousness.

After Jia Yu disposed of the minions in the family, many of the buyers were also replaced, and naturally, the things purchased were also very different from before. And Jia's mother's yard still uses the old rules, naturally, the things used are still the same as before. If nothing else, let's just say that this pen and paper is very different from before.

Moreover, the newly purchased paper is also different from the paper from three or four years ago. The paper that has been placed for three or four years, even if it is still snow-white in the middle, will still be faintly yellow around it. If you use new paper to make up for Jia Baoyu's homework, I am afraid that I will be pierced by someone at a glance. And with these papers, the possibility of getting through the test is only a little higher.

When Tanchun heard this, he didn't shirk it, and hurriedly asked the waiter to take it.

"The second sister is still careful, so, please thank the second sister on my behalf."

Qingwen said a blessing, agreed, and stayed for a short time, and left soon.

Tanchun is also a scheming. He left one of the boxes and took the other box to Jia Baoyu's yard.

Xue Baochai was also careful, and immediately noticed the box in Tanchun's hand, and hurriedly asked why.

Tanchun said.

Shi Xiangyun pursed his lips, and originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, they became: "I remember that the old man sold a lot of minions that year, and the purchases in this house have also changed, speaking of which, it has been eight years." The old man is also a good reader, but he will not notice the difference in this paper. ”

Tanchun was stunned.

Xue Baochai said: "It's okay. Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, this kind of thing, not only we have to use it, but also the master outside. The people who bought it dared to do things in other places and make them shoddy, but they did not necessarily dare to treat Baoyu badly in this regard. In other words, even if the eldest master changes the person who buys it, it is just so that the second sister can also use good paper and pen. As for the second sister's copying of books, the second sister herself also said that first because there was a lot of paper and pen sent by Daomen, and then because the second sister was picky herself, she saved these things. Moreover, the old man just saw the quality of this paper, and it would not be much, he would only be the comprador on the plate and the dishes and bully us. But if the paper is of the wrong age, that's the big deal. ”

said, paused again, and said, "It's also my negligence that I didn't pay attention." I went home and asked someone to look for it in the shop. I'm afraid it's not enough for just such a box. (To be continued......)
