In the second year, Jia Jiu was seventeen years old, but Lin Daiyu was exactly fifteen years old.

After Lin Daiyu heard about it, she politely refused as soon as possible: "Although I said, there are not a few days before the end of the national funeral." But last year, Banzai specially ordered that the country should be mourned for a year. This is the first of its kind since the founding of the country. No matter what the reason for the concubine made the saint make this will, but since it was so decided, the old lady really didn't want to break the rules for me. After all, the second brother Lian has just been promoted. ”

When Jia's mother heard this, she wanted to insist, but Jia Yu was very happy when she heard about it, and said, "I think this is the guidance of my brother-in-law?" There are so many people who come and go in Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History, and most of them have accidents after not staying for a year, but they are brothers-in-law, who have stayed in the position for so many years. There is that kind of villain, who sees that his brother-in-law is safe and stable, and knows that it is not easy for his brother-in-law to do this, so he has to arrange something that he does not have. Officialdom is sinister, and by that kind of means, can it really fall into the good? What can really end up in a good end is nothing more than the eight words of serving the monarch and being loyal and adapting to changes. ”

Even Jia Yu said so, and Jia's mother's plan to feast guests and celebrate Lin Daiyu's birthday failed in the end. Even the ceremony, at Lin Daiyu's insistence, was only done with the help of his own family. According to Lin Daiyu, Jia Jiu is the county monarch of the imperial court, Jia Qian is the county monarch, Jia Qing is the township monarch, and then there is Xichun, the girl from Ningguo Mansion, and Xing Xiuyan, the guest, in fact, it is almost the same. However, the arrival of Princess Changle later made Jia Jiu give up his position. Instead, let Princess Changle crown Lin Daiyu.

Princess Changle also knew how much Jia Jiu cared about this cousin, and he didn't mind taking care of the Lin family's siblings, so he didn't refuse.

After the news reached the Grand View Garden, Rao is Tanchun had already made psychological preparations for himself, but he was still stunned for a long time, and even almost lost his rude in front of Mrs. Wang. Not to mention Shi Xiangyun.

On this day, Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Tanchun came down from Mrs. Wang's upper room. Without waiting to get out of the courtyard, he heard Shi Xiangyun say: "Sister Lin is really lucky." Both parents died, and the eldest lord and second sister over there bothered to protect them. The old lady put him on the cusp of her heart. I thought that the second sister was good enough for Sister Bao, but now I know that the second sister is better for Sister Lin. even invited Princess Changle for Sister Lin. ”

The ceremony for girls is the same as for men's coronations. All of them are of very special significance. This was especially true before the imperial examinations prevailed. In that distant era, when power was held by families and magnates, the person in charge of crowning was often the guide for children to officialdom or the court. Taking Lin Daiyu as an example, if Lin Daiyu enters the palace in the future and becomes a concubine, then Princess Changle, who held a ceremony for him today and crowned him, is his backing.

Even today, this sense of union has been greatly reduced, but. With Princess Changle crowning Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu's marriage will have room for choice in the future. Obviously, it is much broader than the previous orphan girl status.

Therefore, it is false to say that Tanchun is not jealous.

Tanchun pinched the handkerchief in a daze and didn't speak, which made Shi Xiangyun very depressed: "Third sister, why don't you speak?" ”

Tanchun said: "Should I say anything?" ”

That's enough. Shi Xiangyun just doesn't like Tanchun not to make a voice at all, which makes him feel like he is singing a one-man show. Now, Tanchun just confided in these few words, and Shi Xiangyun was already very satisfied.

All he needed was those words. What's more, in Tanchun's tone, there is still a trace of sourness that can't be concealed.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister is good enough for Sister Bao, right?" But when Sister Bao and Lu, the second sister didn't mention the matter of Lu Li at all. On the contrary, it is Sister Lin, I heard that the second sister has been Zhang Luo since years ago. ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sister Yun, how did you know about this?" The second sister didn't even invite us. Sister Lin's fifteenth birthday, except for Princess Changle, there were only a few people from her uncle's family. ”

Shi Xiangyun glared at him and said, "It's not enough to have so many people?" Look at the garden, the two sisters of Sister-in-law Zhu have moved out, and Sister Bao and Sister Qin have also moved out, so there are only a few of us left. The garden is vast and deserted. Although there are not many people over there, it's not like us. Sister Lin's birthday, the old lady didn't say it, the second sister and the fourth sister, the Qian girl and the Qing girl, plus Sister Xing, there are two more than us. There is also Princess Changle, a golden branch and jade leaf, even if there are few people, she is really decent. ”

Jia Baoyu didn't like Shi Xiangyun the most when he said that it was not decent, and he said: "Princess Changle is a friend of the second sister, and he will attend, naturally because of the invitation of the second sister." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Not really. The second sister's own ceremony was not done. ”

Jia Baoyu faintly felt that something was wrong, and said, "Sister Yun, why didn't the second sister's ceremony be done?" Although it is said that the eldest sister is just in time to save relatives over there, and the family is in a mess. But in the end, the second sister is a member of the Daomen, that is, our family can't take care of the second sister, how can the Daomen forget about it? ”

Shi Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, at that time, we remembered the big sister, and we forgot about this." He said to Tanchun again: "The third sister's birthday is only a few days away." If she is in front of the old lady, the old lady will definitely not forget the third sister's etiquette. ”

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at Tanchun, but saw that although there was nothing on Tanchun's face, there was a faint light in his eyes.

Although Jia Baoyu is messing around, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything. This is the same as the ceremony and the crown ceremony, and they are all divided into descendants. In the future, when he Jia Baoyu is twenty years old, Mrs. Wang will definitely bother Zhang Luo, but if Jia Huan is replaced, probably, at most, Jia Zheng will give Jia Huan a word.

Lin Daiyu is Lin Ruhai's original concubine, even if it is a person who goes to tea and cool, but Lin Ruhai's afterglow does not disappear when it disappears. Not to mention anything else, Guanglin Ruhai stayed in Yangzhou for five or six years, not only balancing the forces of all parties well. He also took care of the salt tax to the satisfaction of the higher-ups. This ability is enough to remember him firmly.

Jia Baoyu felt that Princess Changle was willing to take care of Lin Daiyu. But it may not be Jia Jiu's sake.

Although Tanchun is Jia Jiu's cousin, the two families have been separated, and Tanchun may not be as close to Jia Jiu as Lin Daiyu is to Jia Jiu. Second, in the end, Tanchun is a concubine. If it is changed to cherish the spring, Jia Jiu will still bother Zhang Luo for it. In order to give birth to a girl like Tanchun. No matter how ignorant Jia Baoyu is, he knows that this is impossible.

For the sake of Lin Daiyu, Princess Changle was invited to come forward to be crowned, which was to take care of Lin Daiyu at the same time, but also to show the world. Let everyone know that Lin Ruhai died for the country, and the royal family did not forget his daughter; Inviting nobles for the sake of spring exploration is the rhythm of offending nobles to death. Even Jia Baoyu himself knew. If the family is for the spring visit and the ceremony. I'm afraid that I can't find the right person, or someone with status to crown.

Unless Madame Wang is willing to put the spring exploration under his name.

It's just that Jia Baoyu still knows the meaning of the ceremony for a girl. Jia Baoyu couldn't bear to disappoint Tanchun, but he also knew that he couldn't do anything, so he could only find an excuse and leave first.

As soon as Jia Baoyu left, Tanchun's face changed.

Tanchun also knew that his identity was not enough. He didn't expect to be as beautiful as Lin Daiyu. He only hoped that Jia Baoyu could talk to Jia Min for him. Even if it's good to have his cousin crown him. But he never thought that Jia Baoyu would smear oil on the soles of his feet and leave directly.

Jia Baoyu left. Shi Xiangyun immediately took Tanchun's hand and said, "Third sister, are you okay?" ”

With tears in his eyes, Tanchun shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Speaking of which, I am also fifteen this year. Although my birthday is in the second half of the year, I hope to have a gift. I just don't know if the old lady is willing to help. ”

When Tanchun heard this, he smiled and said, "Sister Yun, you are talking stupid again." Naturally, this ceremony was held in one's own home. ”

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he immediately looked like a wronged puppy, and even his ears drooped: "It's the same." I'm confused. If my second and third uncles don't come back, I'm afraid I won't have a good courtesy. Sister Lin is really lucky. ”

Tanchun said: "Where is Sister Lin's life?" It's just a good thing to be reincarnated. My father has the ability, even if the person is gone, he will arrange everything properly. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "That's not the case. It's a pity that my father didn't get too early, he just arranged everything, and now it's almost worn out by time. ”

There is something that Shi Xiangyun didn't say, that is, he felt that his father trusted his two brothers too much. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up where he is now.

Shi Xiangyun said this, and Tanchun only glanced at him deeply, but didn't say anything.

Shi Xiangyun is open-mouthed, Tanchun is very clear, there are some things that cannot be said, whether it is Shi Xiangyun or Xue Baochai, they will be exported intentionally or unintentionally. Just like these words now, Shi Xiangyun is obviously sighing that his father is not early, but in fact, how can he not complain that his uncle and aunt do not take good care of him?

In Tanchun's view, Shi Xiangyun simply doesn't know the blessing in the blessing. Not to mention anything else, if the two Hou and Mrs. Hou of the Shi family really did not raise Shi Xiangyun well, where did Shi Xiangyun get the opportunity to read and write? Where did the Jiecai come from? Shi Xiangyun's talent is stronger than Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin's sisters. If the historian really doesn't care about Shi Xiangyun, where does Shi Xiangyun get the opportunity to get acquainted with nobles? Tanchun has heard Shi Xiangyun's girl Cui Mo show more than once that Shi Xiangyun knows Concubine Nan'an.

Therefore, whenever Shi Xiangyun says this, Tanchun will always find a reason to leave. In the past, there were many people in the Grand View Garden, and it was not obvious that Tanchun did this, but now, there are only a few people in the Grand View Garden, and the unmarried master girl is him and Shi Xiangyun.

Tanchun could only say: "Life is lived by yourself." Sister Lin has her father's afterglow, but doesn't Sister Bao also have her father's afterglow? Didn't he come out the same? ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Although Sister Bao doesn't have a father, she has a mother and an elder brother, except for a slightly worse family background, which one of his is not better than us?" ”

Tanchun chuckled in his heart, lest people think that he had the same resentment against his parents as Shi Xiangyun, so he hurriedly said: "Sister Bao is not easy. He's nineteen years old this year, right? I don't know how his family arranges him? A girl who has not found her in-laws at the age of nineteen, this official media is afraid that she will also come to the door. ”

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he hurriedly said in an indescribable tone: "That's not it." If a girl is not married at the age of nineteen, the government will definitely ask about it. Even if you are fined, if you are unlucky, you will be forced to be assigned by the government. What kind of military man, splash skin, what good can this kind of person be? It's a pity that Sister Bao......"

Tanchun smiled dryly and said, "Won't it? ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "How not? Sister Bao is not Qian'er and Qing'er. They are also show girls to be selected, and they are younger than Sister Bao. It's because they can't enter the palace because they're old, and there is a seal from the imperial court, who dares to bully them? I can't say, I have eliminated the qualification of a show girl in the household department here, and someone over there has come to ask for it. What does Sister Treasure have? ”

Tanchun said: "But Sister Bao's family has money. As long as the Xue family prepares a generous dowry for Lin Yu, Sister Bao will not be able to marry the prince and son, and she will be able to marry a scholar or something. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "That's not the case. Rich is good. ”

Shi Xiangyun walked sullenly, lowered his head, and did not speak.

Shi Xiangyun is in the Shi family, and she is just a girl from the Shi family. There are many things, the two ladies of the Shi family avoid him, and he can only guess from the surface. In Shi Xiangyun's opinion, the Shi family has long been free of needlework, so it is naturally inferior to the Jia family. Unfortunately, that's a thing of the past. It's also a shame that he is a guest, and Mrs. Wang is not good at calling him too much, but on the day of the spring visit, he sees it in his eyes.

Tanchun also sighed in his heart.

In the past, Jia Baoyu was disgusted with the work of needlework girls outside, so Jia Baoyu had a lot of girls, and even the sisters and sisters in the garden would help him do needlework. Now, who in the family doesn't do needlework?

Tanchun knows very well that the current Jia family is no longer what it used to be. In the past, he did needlework mainly to please Jia Baoyu and Mrs. Wang, but now, a considerable part of the needlework in his hands is also made for himself.

Because Mrs. Wang also turned the needlework room. The necessary needles and threads were also distributed to each room. Even the girl Tanchun does needlework for two or three hours a day, and she has to do it during the day. Because of the lights and candles at night, Mrs. Wang will not give more.
