The rain stopped.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the Grand View Garden, Daiyu involuntarily put down the book she was holding in her hand and looked out the window.

The rain on the eaves of the corridor gathers into drops and falls on the banana leaves at the bottom of the steps, making a "tick" and "click" sound.

Although the autumn colors after the rain are very charming, they are also accompanied by bleak cold, which makes Daiyu involuntarily shrink her body.

When the purple cuckoo on the side saw it, he walked over and removed the fork rod and gently closed the window.

Losing the scenery in her eyes, Daiyu's two thin brows sank slightly, and her eyes rose, looking at the uninvited guest in her eyes.

"The girl has to get sick every year at this time, how can she withstand such a cold wind."

Zijuan smiled and reassured.

Daiyu's brows furrowed even deeper, and even her mouth couldn't help but puff up, showing the unhappiness in her heart.

But she didn't speak, and turned her head away.

Zijuan knew Daiyu's temperament very well, and she didn't bother her too much, and was about to pack up her things and go out to leave a quiet atmosphere for Daiyu, and she didn't want to look back when she saw Tanchun walk in.

Zijuan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Why are the three girls here......"

Daiyu on the couch heard this, glanced back, and saw that it was not Zijuan who deliberately teased her, so after thinking about it, she still sat up.

Tanchun and Zijuan nodded for a moment, and then asked, "Sister Lin, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, the girl is just bored, the third girl is here, talk to our girl, maybe she will be fine."

Zijuan smiled and poured a cup of hot tea for Tanchun, and then left.

Tanchun didn't sit next to him, he went directly to Daiyu's kang and sat down, and said with a smile: "Your girl offended you?" ”

Daiyu knew that Tanchun was making fun of her, so she didn't pick up, but said, "What are you doing?" ”

"The rain stopped easily, and a person walked around the house in a panic."

Tanchun said, and sighed with emotion: "In the past two or three days, the second brother was not at home, and it was raining again, and everyone was too lazy to move, so they hid in the house one by one and didn't go out."

Others are gone, and even the cloud girl seems to have changed her personality this time.

I didn't go around here before, but this time she was also honest, nesting in Wuyuan every day, accompanying Sister Bao to make tea and talk about it......"

Xiangyun only stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion for one night on the night he came, and he went to Yuwuyuan to play on the second day and never came back.

Daiyu was already very proud of this in her heart, but when she heard Tanchun say this, she was even more interested.

But it was not easy to show anything, so he tilted his head and said: "You are in good spirits." ”

Tanchun seemed to see some of Daiyu's thoughts, and he didn't care, but approached Daiyu and said with a smile: "Tell you a good news, I just went to the house, and I heard from the people in Lian's second sister-in-law's house that the people around the second brother came back to report the news, and it is estimated that he will come back in the afternoon......"

Daiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and she couldn't help but turn back to Tanchun with a questioning look.

But everywhere in her eyes was Tanchun's playful banter, her face turned red, and she turned around and said, "Who told you to say this, what does it matter to me if he doesn't come back......"

Tanchun smiled, and actually took Daiyu's hand and said, "It's really none of your business?" Good sister-in-law? ”

"Damn three girls, I'll beat you!"

Daiyu was ashamed, and pulled out her hand to go to Tanchun.

Tanchun smiled and dodged.

Daiyu glared at her, suddenly her eyes were sour, she let go of her hand and lowered her head.

Tanchun was originally to make her happy, but she was a little worried when she saw this.

She walked up, put it on Daiyu's brocade quilt, and said with concern: "Sister Lin, what's wrong with you, I'm just joking with you, why should you be careless?" ”

Daiyu saw that she was telling the truth, and knew that she had misunderstood her and was angry.

and knew that she was a good person every day, and he wanted to warn her next time, so he looked at her and said what was in his heart: "I know you are joking, but how can I be your sister-in-law?" Miss Ye Jia, the queen's niece and nephew, that's your sister-in-law!

But you always like to stab me with these words, and do you not embarrass me in the heart?

Moreover, I know that thou hast no malice in thy heart, and thou shalt not be angry with thee, and shall not make me feel bad in thy heart? ”

When Tanchun heard this, he knew his mistake.

Daiyu is arrogant from the beginning, she is in love with her second brother but was inserted by others, and she will also be a dwarf in the future, this is a scar in her heart, every time she makes fun of her, isn't it suspected of tearing her wounds?

I heard Daiyu say again: "We grew up together since childhood, I know you, you call me like this now, there is nothing close to me, in the future, people will enter the door and support the door, if you are like this again, won't you make her suspicious of me?" So, don't say that in the future. ”

Tanchun sighed deeply and said, "Sister Lin said this, but she actually underestimated the second brother's kindness to you.

What happened at the beginning, I looked at it coldly, in the heart of the second brother, in fact, there is only Sister Lin, you are alone, if it is not for the body, how can the second brother bear to wronged his sister?

Besides, no matter how noble the Ye family girl is, if she marries the second brother in the future, she should respect the second brother, so why do you and I use her eyes to act?

In my heart, I have long regarded Sister Lin as a sister-in-law, and I will say it, not to mention now, that is, she will enter the door in the future, and I will first recognize you as my sister-in-law.

If she can tolerate it, it proves that she is a good person, and I really respect her, if she can't tolerate it, I am not afraid of her, and I will not allow her to bully you with power! ”

Tanchun's words are serious, if they are listened to by adults, they will be taught a lesson, because they do not respect the law of etiquette.

But when Daiyu heard it, she was a little moved in her heart.

However, she is a person who loves to hide her heart, and she just talked like that just to prevent Tanchun from calling her like that in the future.

In order to hide her intentions, she said: "It's just that you think so, what do I have, you also saw it that night, which of the two sisters-in-law of the You family is not as good-looking as I was born?" And the ...... I've seen before."

Before the words were finished, Fang noticed that there was something wrong in it, and hurriedly stopped.

Tanchun was stunned for a moment, then looked at her and laughed.

"I told you how you have been so worried for the past two days, it turns out that you are thinking about this."

Tanchun looked at Daiyu who was a little anxious with a funny face, and continued to laugh regardless of it: "But what you said just now is really too biased, so you use it to coax others, but in fact, you don't believe it in your own heart."

You sister-in-law's two sisters are good-looking, but if Sister Lin is willing to surrender her identity compared to them, their appearance is nothing, giggles, who doesn't know, you are the fairy in the eyes of our second brother, usually you are a little unhappy, our second brother is like burning his eyebrows, which time didn't he rush over to please you?

It can be seen from this that not to mention that others can't compare to you, even if you really can't compare, in the eyes of our second brother, it is difficult for you to be enough. ”

Tanchun laughed while talking, and was about to dispel all Daiyu's hypocrisy.

Daiyu was annoyed, and shouted with a red face: "Three girls, you are talking nonsense and messing around......"

Tanchun is still smiling.

She kind of understood, Daiyu was jealous!

Also, the two girls of the You family came over in full costume that night, which really amazed them.

Later, the second brother called Miss Li over and asked her to be next to her, I was afraid that Sister Lin would be unhappy in her eyes, hehehe.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"

Annoyed, Daiyu turned over and went inside, with her back to the hateful Tanchun.

She didn't know that just after she turned over, the smile on Tanchun's face faded, and the other party stared at her back, with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.

After a while, Tanchun put away his mind, returned to Daiyu's side again, pulled her shoulder, and sighed lightly: "We grew up together, you are the same age as me, I probably understand your thoughts."

However, you should know what the second brother is like, how he treats you in his heart, maybe you know better than anyone else, why think about it for no reason?

Say something I shouldn't have said, those people...... You just treat those people as the maids in the second brother's house, can't you even tolerate attacking people and Xiangling? ”

Daiyu wondered in her heart, but she couldn't help but retort with a red face: "What nonsense are you talking about, when will I not tolerate it, you ...... Forget it, I won't tell you, you go, I'm going to sleep! ”

I regretted saying so much to Tanchun in my heart, and I hooked her words.

Tanchun felt that today's Daiyu was more cordial than in the past, and he actually had a little closeness, listening to her drive people, not only did not leave, but quietly removed the clothes outside, sat on the kang, and said with a smile: "I've only been here for a while, you will drive me away, it's strange and cold outside, why don't I lie down with Sister Lin for a while......

As he spoke, Tanchun had already kicked off his shoes and got into Daiyu's small quilt.

Daiyu was reluctant at first, but Tanchun didn't pay attention to her small actions against her, but she couldn't.

Silently gave her a little bit of the quilt, and then lay still.

Zijuan came in, saw this scene, and was secretly happy that Daiyu and Tanchun were getting along happily, and didn't want to disturb their sisters whispering, so she took a quilt from inside to cover them, and then covered the door and went out.

Tanchun may have been walking for a long time and was really tired, and after lying down, he didn't talk for a while, but he really felt sleepy.

Daiyu is in good spirits.

She's still a little unaccustomed.

In the past two years, except for Xiangyun's confused and naughty egg, she has rarely slept with other sisters.

Maybe it's because Xiangyun's personality is like a child, and she is not wary of her.

Because she didn't want to disturb Tanchun's sleepiness, she couldn't move, so she just lay down with her quietly, thinking about some things in her head.

I don't know how long, I suddenly felt something strange in Tanchun next to me, and I turned my head to look, as if I had fallen into a deep sleep so that I was a little babbling.

smiled secretly in his heart: It turned out that Tanchun was a child like Xiangyun when he fell asleep.

Tucked the quilt that was scattered by her, and Daiyu was about to lie back, but she heard Tanchun muttering to herself in her dream:

"Huh~ Second brother...... Sister Lin, I envy your ......"

Daiyu looked at her carefully, but Tanchun had fallen into a quiet sleep again.

After a while, Daiyu lay back in her place.

A feeling of being an enemy on all sides welled up in Daiyu's heart.

She couldn't sleep anymore.

……

……

Outside the city gate, King Zhongshun led a group of clans, crossed the civil and military officials, and welcomed the emperor back to Beijing.

Jia Baoyu rode on his horse, saw it from a distance, and did not stop it, but waved his hand to signal the soldiers of the forbidden army to get out of the way, so that he could face the dragon chariot of the emperor.

"The sons and daughters of the clan will welcome their father's return to Beijing......"

With the voice of King Zhongshun, the eunuch lifted the bead curtain on the dragon chariot, revealing the face of the emperor.

The Emperor Taishang first glanced at the team that had stopped, and then at the King Zhongshun who was kneeling in front of him, and the faces of the clan ten steps away......

It's really a fresh face, because the clan has an identity, and most of them follow him to the hunting ground.

The rest of them are either low seniority or low status, which is naturally difficult for him to see.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Father."

The king of Zhongshun got up, and was about to say something, when he heard the emperor say: "If you have anything to say, wait until you go back, and then retreat." ”

"Well, yes, my son is leaving."

The bead curtain was lowered, and the team set off again.

King Zhongshun also took a look in front of the queen mother's phoenix, and then rode directly to the front, and went to Jia Baoyu's side, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, the first time I saw you at the banquet of the emperor, this king saw that your kid is extraordinary, I didn't expect that you were the son of my good third brother, I really didn't expect it, hahaha, good boy!" ”

Listening to his bold voice and looking at his bright smile, if he wasn't riding on a horse, he would definitely pat Jia Baoyu on the shoulder to show the joy in his heart.

Jia Baoyu also said with a smile: "Uncle Nine Princes praised it falsely, the little nephew didn't know his life experience at first, and he was very snub to Uncle Nine Wang, so please don't take Uncle Nine Princes to heart." ”

"Hahaha, good nephew, I naturally won't take what you say, from now on, you and my uncle and nephew will work together to serve the emperor and solve problems for his old man.

But Uncle Nine doesn't have any great skills, don't hide it and deliberately watch Uncle Nine's jokes......"

Hehe, here it is.

Jia Baoyu smiled in her heart.

When he was in the capital before, maybe it was because he had just been under house arrest by the second prince and felt shameless, or maybe he was afraid of what Jia Baoyu would do to him, so he didn't come to him.

Now that the emperor has returned to Beijing, Jia Baoyu no longer has the reason to monopolize power, this is to ask for power.

It's not that I want to, maybe it's just a hello......

No matter what he thought in his heart, Jia Baoyu didn't seem to hear what he meant, and still smiled: "Where Uncle Jiuwang said, you are an elder, but there is a dispatch, and the nephew should obey the order, where is the truth of hiding clumsy." ”

"Hahaha, good, good, I didn't mistake you!"

King Zhongshun said, approached Jia Baoyu, and said in a low voice: "Since you call me Uncle Jiuwang, I will also tell you, you have to be careful when you arrive in the capital......"

"Oh? Please show Uncle Jiuwang. ”

King Zhongshun looked around, as if he was afraid that others would hear: "Although Uncle Jiu is very happy to know that you are still alive, I believe that the Emperor Taishang and his old man are also very happy, but ......"

King Zhongshun was a middle-aged man with a fat body, and his weight was estimated to be very high, and he turned to speak, and the horse seemed to be unable to bear the strength, and actually deviated a little.

Jia Baoyu grabbed the reins of the horse for him to prevent him from falling.

"Let me tell you, you are not here for a few days, but there are a lot of rumors in the capital......

"What rumors?"

"Alas, the left and right are passed on by some unreasonable people, and I didn't want to tell you, but I was afraid that you would suffer, so I told you anyway.

Because my good third brother has been dead for more than ten years, and you have also fallen into the folk for more than ten years, and now that you have suddenly returned to the clan, many people don't believe in your true identity......

In addition, you may not know that your house was assassinated by a cult back then, and the result of the later investigation by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple was that no one survived...... You get the idea, right? ”

Jia Baoyu suddenly said: "I understand, what Uncle Jiuwang means is that everyone in the clan suspects that I am not my father's son?" ”

"It's not just the clan, but also the ministers of the court who think like this......

"But, but the emperor's grandfather said that I am my father's son, no, this problem is too serious, Uncle Jiuwang, you accompany me to ask the emperor, you must clarify this problem, otherwise I will definitely not be able to sleep at night."

Jia Baoyu said, pulling King Zhongshun and about to turn around.

"Uh, that's ......"

King Zhongshun didn't expect Jia Baoyu to be so breathless, he said: "That, it's not good to disturb the Emperor Taishang for such a trivial matter, the Emperor Taishang is still sick."

Don't worry, with Uncle Nine here, I will definitely help you find out all those who spread rumors, and deal with them ruthlessly, hmph, dare to talk about my clan bloodline! ”

Loyalty to the king is a righteous way.

Jia Baoyu looked at him and thanked: "Then thank Uncle Jiuwang for upholding justice." ”

"It's all a family, what are you and I polite ......?"

As the two spoke, they had entered the city.

The inner eunuch beside the Emperor Taishang came and said, "King Jing, the Emperor Taishang has summoned you." ”

When King Zhongshun heard this, his face sank slightly.

Jia Baoyu didn't seem to see it, and after surrendering to the inner supervisor, he said to King Zhongshun: "The emperor summoned you, and the little nephew went first?" ”

"Go for it......"

Jia Baoyu smiled and rode away.

As soon as he left, the smile that King Zhongshun had been on his face quickly retracted, glanced at Jia Baoyu's movements, and glanced at the backs of the guards around him, snorted, and turned to leave.
