Soon it was the right day, not only Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui and his wife had a new one, but even Li Kun and Jia Lan's mother and son also changed into a new clothes, of course, the material of this dress was still made by Xia Jingui, which made Xia Jingui so crooked. But Li Kun and Jia Lan are Jia Baoyu's widowed sister-in-law and nephew after all, even if these two people really have big defects in morality, in front of Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui will not be able to throw these two people down.

This made Xia Jingui feel even more uncomfortable.

No, along the way, Xia Jingui could only quietly look outside, as if he hadn't seen Li Kun Jialan's mother and son.

When approaching the city gate, they also met Jia Huan on a horse, and Tanchun and his wife in a car.

Tanchun's mother-in-law is a local rich man, and his family has a few acres of land, but the rules are loose, and his mother-in-law and concubines are very vulgar. But Tanchun is a very shrewd and resourceful woman, and after a short time, she took her mother-in-law into her hands, and the concubines did not dare to offend him. As for Tanchun's husband, it is actually not as bad as Tanchun imagined.

The rich landlords in the countryside, with a little money in their hands, will think that the children in their families can read and write, and it would be great if they could go through the imperial examination and change their courts in the future. Tanchun's husband Zhou Chen is a scholar who is supported by the family. It's a pity that in the countryside, there are not only few learned teachers, but also few books with annotations that can be found.

If you change to someone else, you may be trapped in the city, but Tanchun is not. Tanchun was originally a literate girl who had a common language with her husband, and more importantly. The books and notes that Zhou Chen needed had been copied by Tanchun! Even if he couldn't remember. He can also borrow from Lin Daiyu and Lin Yu's sisters and brothers, or simply borrow from his sister-in-law Shang.

With the support of Tanchun. Zhou Chen quickly passed the children's exam, and won the last township exam.

This alone is enough for Zhou Chen to thank him.

After Zhou Chen was promoted, the Zhou family's fields did not have to bear such heavy taxes, and the villagers put their own land in the name of the Zhou family in order to pay less money and grain.

The Zhou family's family situation has greatly improved. The status of the Zhou family has also risen.

Once, Zhou Chen's mother once thought that her son was so good, and now he is a person again, where is a woman like Tanchun who is not young, has a bad reputation in the family, and her parents are still sinners? Zhou's mother even thought about it. The possibility of letting his niece make a second room for Zhou Chen.

But Zhou Chen's father and Zhou Chen themselves know very well that Tanchun does have all kinds of shortcomings, but there is one thing that is better than others, that is, Tanchun is Jia Yu's niece, and Jia Yu is the Marquis of Rongguo, and Tanchun's cousin is Lin Daiyu, and behind him stands directly the Jia family and the Lin family, not to mention the various relationships behind the Jia family and the Lin family.

In Zhou Chen's opinion, no matter how many shortcomings Tanchun has. As long as there is such a relationship, it will be of great help to his future.

So, for so many years. Zhou Chen has always been very protective of Tanchun in front of his mother. This also made Tanchun increasingly put his heart on him. If Tanchun in the past was always desperate to step on Aunt Zhao's mother and son to please Mrs. Wang for his future, now, this kind of sharpness is not seen in Tanchun.

The spring is much softer now than before. Let people know at a glance that he is a happy little woman.

But. Even Tanchun, who has softened a lot now, still doesn't like Li Kun Jialan's mother and son. It's not just because when I was in the Grand View Garden. Li Kun was perfunctory about what he taught, and because of Li Kun's indifference to the family. Although Tanchun does not recognize his biological mother, his sense of identity with the family is beyond doubt. Tanchun couldn't tolerate Li Kun's behavior of ignoring Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and secretly going south with his son's dowry, even though he knew that Li Kun only had his son Jia Lan in his heart.

The previous Tanchun couldn't afford to offend Li Kun, but the current Tanchun looked down on Li Kun.

With a girl like Tanchun, even if the Jia family lacks his education, his temper is here, even if he hates Li Kun very much in his heart, but he doesn't show any wind on his lips, but he just looks very cold in his words.

When Xia Jingui saw Tanchun, he immediately felt that he was saved. He immediately climbed into Tanchun's car, squeezed Zhou Chen to the front, and then took Tanchun's hand and said, "Third sister, do you know that Grandma Zhu is also back?" ”

Because of the marriage wishes, the relationship between Tanchun and Xia Jingui has also improved, and when he heard Xia Jingui say this to him, he immediately said: "Sister-in-law, I still have to ask my sister-in-law." What's going on with those two. ”

Xia Jingui hurriedly said this.

Tanchun said: "I see. ”

Xia Jingui said: "Third sister? ”

Tanchun looked out, but the coachman was honestly driving the car, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Sister-in-law, there are some things that are embarrassing to say, but I am so panicked that I am pressed on this heart. Now, I can only talk to my sister-in-law. ”

Xia Jingui immediately lowered his voice and said, "Sister, it's okay to say it. ”

Tanchun said: "My sister-in-law also knows." Several girls in our family were raised in front of the old lady when they were young. Not only the eldest sister who went, but also the second sister who went to Yuqing Mountain and the fourth sister who was originally in Dongfu were the same, all of whom grew up in front of the old lady. But in fact, in addition to the eldest sister, when I was in the old lady's house with the second sister and the fourth sister, the old lady was already old, and there was a second brother in front of her, and the second brother was extremely naughty. The old lady takes care of the second brother, and she has to allocate some energy to Sister Yun, who often comes to our house to live, where does she have the time and energy to discipline us? ”

Xia Jingui immediately understood: "The third sister is saying that when the three of you sisters are in front of the old lady, in fact, the old lady doesn't care about you at all?" ”

Tanchun nodded and said, "That's right." At that time, that was our only grandson and daughter-in-law in Xifu, so the old lady handed over a few of our sisters to him. ”

Xia Jingui said: "Is it difficult, the second sister was taught by him?" ”

Tanchun said: "It would be nice if he really spent his heart on us!" Actually, we sisters several. We can only learn from the girls around us, or explore by ourselves! Later, they split up. At that time. The second sister went back to my uncle, but the fourth sister and I were still in front of the old lady. But he didn't think there were two of us in the house. ”

Xia Jingui was silent for a while, and said, "Sister-in-law asks for something, sister don't be annoyed." ”

"What does my sister-in-law want to say?"

"I think, if he ignores his sister, will it be because his sister is a concubine?"

Tanchun shook his head and said, "But what about the fourth sister?" That's a clan branch! At the beginning, I also thought that he had a knot because of his big sister's behavior. I found out later. His knot was not on it at all. ”

"And what is the knot in his heart?"

"It's just that I haven't been the grandmother in charge of the house, and I haven't made any money, so I'm not happy!"

Xia Jingui's eyes widened and said, "This, this, how is this possible?!" ”

Tanchun married into the Zhou family, in order to integrate into the Zhou family, this temper and behavior naturally carried a bit of the brand of the Zhou family. Not to mention, compared to Li Kun. He is closer to Xia Jingui, his sister-in-law.

Tanchun sneered and said, "How is it impossible?" I lived in the old lady's house for a long time. That was my own sister-in-law, and every day I had to go to my mother, and I mean my mother-in-law, to come to me in the morning and evening. It's just that he hides it well, and he won't be wary of me as a little girl. Second, sometimes his performance is too obvious. I always had the opportunity to know a lot from his face and from the mouths of his girls. ”

"For example?"

"Let's say, after a separation. For a long time, my uncle's family only had two serious daughters, his wife and his second sister, but his wife was sick again. Lying unconscious in the house for many years. Therefore, the uncle had to hand over the family affairs to the second sister. My sister-in-law knows that he has hinted several times in private that he wants to take over the housekeeper's affairs. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Tanchun said: "I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law's jokes. When my eldest aunt died, our two families had not yet separated, and my mother was in charge of the affairs of Nafu, and as a result, my mother did many wrong things. This lesson is still in front of us, you say, how can the eldest uncle be willing to hand over the family affairs to outsiders? What's more, at that time, our two families had already separated! ”

Xia Jingui nodded and said, "That's true." Now that the family has been separated, it is not good to let outsiders act as housekeepers on their behalf. ”

Tanchun said: "When I say this, I also hope that my sister-in-law will have a number in her heart." That's a person who fell into the eye of money, in this world, except for his son, he values money. ”

Although it is said that in a widow's family, in addition to their sons, they only have money to rely on, but people's hearts are biased towards themselves, Li Kun can be biased towards himself and his son, but Xia Jingui can't be biased towards himself? He is the one who wiped out his mother's family for Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. For Xia Jingui, if Li Kun's behavior is forgivable, then, what is he? What is his behavior of emptying his mother's house and causing his mother to have nowhere to go?

For Xia Jingui, people like Li Kun, even standing in front of him is an insult to him.

Although Tanchun's words did not conform to the rules, for Xia Jingui, they were rightly said in Xia Jingui's heart.

Although it was quite harmonious in the past, there was still a little friction between the two sisters-in-law in private, and at this moment, an alliance was reached.

On the other hand, Tanchun's husband Zhou Chen is a lifter, Jia Baoyu is a showman, and Jia Lan is also a lifter, according to common sense, Zhou Chen should have more common language with Jia Lan. However, Zhou Chen is very clear about the behavior of Li Kun's mother and son, as a scholar, even if he can't do what the book requires, this does not prevent him from showing his contempt for Li Kun's mother and son's behavior of abandoning Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and his wife.

Under Jia Baoyu's introduction, Zhou Chen nodded to Li Kun Jia Lan, even if he had seen the courtesy, and then turned his head to talk to Jia Baoyu on his own: "Second brother, I heard that you are in good health?" But do you want to participate in this township test? Yes, the second brother's knowledge is nothing to say, if it weren't for the second brother's body and bones are not very good, I'm afraid that the second brother would have become a lifter a long time ago, and the ranking is still in front of me. ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he also smiled: "My body is indeed much better than in previous years." It's just that your sister-in-law is not at ease, she has been hesitant for a few days, and she hasn't thought about whether to let me take the township test or not. ”

Li Kun interjected: "There are too many things for my younger brothers and sisters, what is it that can be more important than a man's future?" ”

Jia Baoyu smiled good-naturedly and didn't tell anything.

Zhou Chen couldn't tolerate such words, especially Li Kun and Jia Lan's conduct was very inferior in his opinion, so he only listened to him: "The second sister-in-law also cares about the second brother, after all, now the second brother is only an adult man in the second brother's family, and the second brother is the pillar of the family." The imperial examination is the most laborious, if the second brother has any accident, the sister-in-law is afraid that she will be the first to stand it. ”

Jia Baoyu replied: "Yes, Uchiko's heart for me is the purest among the people I have come into contact with. ”

In this life, Jia Jiu separated Jia Baoyu from Lin Daiyu early, even if the two of them lived in the Rongguo Marquis Mansion for so long, Jia Baoyu had not seen Lin Daiyu a few times, of course, there was no long-term friendship. Therefore, in Jia Baoyu's heart at this moment, Xia Jingui's heart for him is true.

This is also what Jia Baoyu is most proud of.

No matter how flawed Xia Jingui's temper is, no matter how many deficiencies Xia Jingui's upbringing is, for Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui loves him and is willing to scatter all his family wealth for him, this alone is enough.

Li Kun was stunned, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, the people around Brother Bao are really simple now. ”

Jia Baoyu immediately said: "Now that I'm older, I naturally don't need those many girls." Besides, I don't want Uchiko to be sad. ”

Li Kun was stunned, and said after a long time: "Brother Bao has changed a lot. ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "People always change. ”

Jia Baoyu is such a person.

In the past, under the pampering of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang, he had what he wanted, so in his opinion, as long as there were sisters and sisters guarding him, he would be fine. But after so many things, he understood one thing, that is, every girl wants her husband to have only one in her heart.

Among the girls who came and went around him, Xia Jingui had the purest heart for him, so Jia Baoyu only needed Xia Jingui now.

In a word, Jia Baoyu has grown up.

Jia Baoyu's answer made Li Kun stunned for a long time.

He remembered Jia Zhu. At the beginning, when he first got married, he also had a good relationship with Jia Zhumili for a while, but his mother-in-law didn't like him, so she kept stuffing people into Jia Zhu's house, and his happiness lasted for a few months. Even Jia Zhu, who was praised by his father Li Shouzhong, did not refuse those girls, but enjoyed the days of red sleeves and fragrance.

On the contrary, this little uncle who grew up in the fat powder pile since he was a child, he had to be surrounded by girls when he was young, and even Li Kun thought that Jia Baoyu would be a lustful and lewd person when he grew up, but he didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would become a dedicated husband.

For a moment, Li Kun was stunned. (To be continued.) )
