Chapter 243: Parting
In the back of people, or in places where Jia Cong does not exist, Baochai has always been dignified and dignified, calm and atmospheric.
She has always taught people reason, how have you ever seen such a well-behaved?
However, everyone didn't make fun of it, because they all knew that Aunt Xue didn't like Jia Cong......
In this era when marriage matters pay attention to the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers, the prospects of the two of them are hardly bright.
Among them, there is a treasure jade, a ball of hemp ......
So, no one said anything naughty.
The biggest contribution they can make is not to reveal the slightest rumor.
Even Daiyu admired Baochai's courage to fight hard......
Wang Xifeng slapped his forehead, diverted the topic and said with a smile: "Ouch! It's really a word to wake up the dreamer, how did I forget these capable people? ”
Tanchun spat angrily and said, "Come less!" I'm going to look for you this morning, and ask you to help you buy a host, and you talk nonsense, and finally rely on me to help you keep an account book for three days, and then you will pretend to be a good person! ”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Wang Xifeng was not annoyed, let others make fun of him, laughed for a while, and then let the servants and maids standing outside come in to set up the meal.
After placing it, except for their own personal girls, the second- and third-class maids and maids outside all went out.
A very rich table of meals, Jia Cong looked at Tanchun and smiled: "Is the third sister's ladder silver enough?" ”
Listening to his straightforward question, Tanchun was funny and helpless: "My own nature is not enough, but fortunately, Sister Bao and Sister Lin help me." ”
Before Jia Cong could thank him, he heard Sister Feng say strangely: "Why is it not enough?" I remember that Brother Cong gave you soap every month, that is, everyone in your yard used it, and one box was enough for more than half a year, and the rest were surplus every month, so that people could sell them, and they were all small rich people, and they couldn't afford to hire a host? ”
Tanchun was silent when he heard this, and his face was a little depressed.
Xiangyun snorted and said, "Do you think it can fall into the hands of the girl?" ”
Wang Xifeng became more and more curious: "Why can't it fall, who dares to be greedy?" ”
Tanchun glanced at Sister Feng angrily, and said to Xiangyun: "Don't talk about me, didn't your own share be taken by someone sent by your aunt?" ”
Wang Xifeng suddenly realized, knowing that Tanchun's share must have been taken by Aunt Zhao, so he sneered and said, "Don't get used to them, this is not a world that compares hearts to hearts......"
"Eh......"
Jia Cong smiled and waved his hand and said: "The second sister-in-law's words are wrong, filial piety is the head, how can they choose." In order to order some soap, and then make a fuss, the gains outweigh the losses. In the future, I will have someone send you another one......" He didn't really think so, but he couldn't let Wang Xifeng trick the two girls into challenging the Rite Sect.
"Not good!"
"No!"
Tanchun and Xiangyun are both extremely proud people, where are they willing to receive such care?
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I have the ability to improve the lives of my sisters in the family, so that you can live a little lighter, and you can do it, but it will not cost you anything." What's really worth having more than one less? Why do you two stick to this? That's it, just don't give the soap, just send it to Sister Bao, and let her exchange the silver for you. Even the second sister and the fourth sister are together. ”
Tanchun hurriedly said: "Third brother, I really don't need it, we don't lack silver." What is eaten, clothed, and worn should all be made of silver in the public school. ”
Jia Cong smiled and said: "You don't know what those people are doing below, although the flowers in the inner house are bought by the outside comprador and let the daughter-in-law send it in and hand it over to you, but those bastards outside, every month, either the comprador holds it up for a few days, or buys something that is not useful to prevaricate you, and in the end you still have to let people buy the silver themselves."
Now that I'm going to go on a long journey, I really don't have the time to reason with them, and I don't want to make trouble with the old lady before leaving, so you can accept it for the time being.
When I get back, I'll talk to the people outside and then mention anything else. ”
Baoyu said incredulously: "Jia Cong, do you even know this? ”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "The world is full of knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article, and I am not a nerd, and I have been at home for a few days in the East Road Courtyard, how can I not know?" ”
Xiangyun looked at Baoyu and encouraged: "You go and make trouble with them!" ”
When Baoyu heard this, he hesitated: "Those compradors outside...... They are all old Chen people, and they are very good with me...... I can't get rid of this face......"
Xiangyun sneered mercilessly, making Baoyu's face flush.
Baochai hurriedly stopped Xiangyun, and Jia Cong was also amused at Xiangyun's straightforwardness, so he heard Xiao Xichun ask with a smile: "Third brother, is Hei Liao really as stubborn as you painted?" ”
Jia Cong said with a smile: "If you have a chance in the future, you will definitely take the fourth sister to take a look." ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Xichun didn't believe it, but the smile became brighter and brighter, and asked: "Third brother, how do you know so much, even Heiliao and other places know." ”
Xichun was not alone in this question, and he smiled and said, "Because Mr. Mu Min has been there, and he said it to me in the letter. ”
Everyone suddenly heard the words, everyone knew that the Confucian family's Yan Shenggong in Qufu liked Jia Cong very much, although he did not teach with the Great Sikong Song Changong, but there were often correspondence with each other.
Every New Year's Day, Jia Cong can even receive the New Year's gift from the Yansheng Mansion.
This alone is the envy of others.
Everyone no longer wondered whether the three paintings painted by Jia Cong were real, and after a brief explanation with Wang Xifeng, they staggered.
After eating two bites, Jia Cong suddenly felt that something was wrong, and raised his head and asked, "Why don't you invite Brother Huan'er to come?" ”
Tanchun asked and hurriedly said: "He is frizzy, he can't speak in an atmosphere when he comes, and he is very annoying, I have already asked someone to send him a copy alone." ”
Jia Cong smiled: "It's better to invite you, if it's in the next courtyard, I won't have much to do." It's just that in the courtyard of the third sister, if you don't invite him, your aunt will make trouble with you when you turn around. But why bother with an extra pair of chopsticks? ”
Baochai also persuaded him: "That's it, I told you before that you didn't care, but now Brother Cong also said, you should listen to it." ”
On the side, Daiyu couldn't help but want to sneer......
Tanchun hesitated, and when Wang Xifeng said a few words, "Huan'er is different now than before", and sent Cuimo to invite.
After a while, I saw Jia Huan arrive, but there was still a difference between his demeanor and the "different from the past" in everyone's mouth, and the demeanor of the third master of Huan was still ......
Hanging half-pulled shoulders, looking at people with high eyebrows and low eyebrows, his eyes flickering and he didn't dare to look directly.
Seeing his appearance, Tanchun wanted to vomit blood......
However, Jia Cong explained to Jia Huan and everyone: "He didn't mean to be like this, but he became like this after being nervous, and I don't know which one to learn from in school. ”
When everyone heard this, they understood what Jia Cong meant.
However, they also knew that Jia Cong was to take care of Tanchun and Jia Huan's face, and they were also secretive for the elders, so they didn't say that they learned it from Aunt Zhao.
In any case, with Jia Cong's explanation, everyone no longer underestimated Jia Huan.
After arranging for him to sit next to Xichun, he continued to laugh and eat.
At the end of the day, the host and guest are gone.
Only when parting, it is difficult to hold back a thousand tears.
Although Jia Cong left Beijing in the future, he had to worship his ancestors tomorrow and serve in front of Jia Yu's hospital bed for a day, so he had no chance to come to the inner house.
Early the morning after tomorrow, I only bid farewell to Jia's mother and Jia Zheng and his wife, so that I had the opportunity to say goodbye to everyone in a hurry.
Therefore, tonight's banquet is really a parting feast.
I didn't feel it before, but when I ate to the end, few people could still hold chopsticks.
Since ancient times, it has been sad to part, and what is it to be embarrassed to snub the Qingqiu Festival?
Sadly, Baoyu, Daiyu, Xiangyun and others said goodbye first, and Tanchun ordered Jia Huan to return quickly.
Wang Xifeng still has general affairs and has to go.
Yingchun left with tears in his eyes.
In the end, only Baochai, who has always been steady, is reluctant to leave.
Even Jia Cong's personal persuasion twice was useless, Tanchun sighed, glanced at Cuimo and Baochai's maid Ying'er, and went out of the main house together.
That's all she can do.
But there was still a grandmother waiting in the front room, and there was not much time......
After Tanchun and the others went out, Jia Cong looked at Baochai, who was already in tears, and said softly: "Why do you have to do this? I will be back. ”
It's okay not to speak, but as soon as these words came out, Baochai whimpered.
The cry was full of unquenchable worry......
No matter how serious Su Rili is, but at this time, she is just a girl who is experiencing the pain of parting.
Seeing her like this, warmth appeared in Jia Cong's eyes, he gently held Baochai's somewhat cold hand, and then with a slight flicker, he took her into his arms.
Baochai, who was embraced in her arms, stiffened at first, but slowly eased up.
Jia Cong smelled the moving fragrance in his nose, but his heart was quiet, and he said softly: "Sister Bao, believe me, I will never disappoint those who care about me." ”
Baochai was silent for a while, and then responded faintly: "Hmm." ”
After Jia Cong hugged it a little harder, he let go of his hand, and saw that Baochai's pretty face was full of shame, so he said, "Do you remember the words I said to you that day?" ”
Baochai replied word by word: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." ”
Jia Cong smiled: "Have you thought about it all? ”
Baochai looked up at him, and the affection in his apricot eyes was like water.
Jia Cong smiled, took her hand, and walked to the west desk.
There was a ready-made pen and ink paper on the table, and after Jia Cong spread out a piece of paper, he dipped the pen in ink, waved the book and said:
Queqiao Immortal Gift Treasure Hairpin
The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win and there are countless people in the world.
Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can they be there, morning and twilight?
After reading the book, seeing Baochai looking at the paper stupidly, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Although today is not a begging festival, but I have this in mind, I might as well say this."
Sister Bao, although parting at this moment is bitter, I believe that when we meet in the future, it will be better than countless people in the world. ”
When Baochai heard this, when she raised her eyes to look at Jia Cong, two crystal clear tears fell again.
His lips trembled slightly, and although he had thousands of words, he didn't know where to speak......
I saw the lover bow his head, and when his eyes met, he said "I understand".
With this word, my heart was heavy, and I rose up one after another.
Too many beautiful things.
summon up all kinds of courage and throw yourself into your arms......
……
In the twelfth year of Chongkang, August 21.
Jia Cong followed Jia Zheng and Jia Lian into the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors.
Shangyi En allowed the Jia clan ancestral hall to enter the Rongguo Mansion.
After returning from the ancestral hall, Jia Cong bathed and changed clothes, and served filial piety in front of Jia Cong's hospital bed for a day.
Jia pardon's stroke has not healed so far, and his mind is unknown.
At dusk, he went to Mrs. Xing's room to pay filial piety, and was not allowed to enter the ......
knelt in front of the door until his son sometimes returned in tears.
Everyone says filial piety......
……
In the twelfth year of Chongkang, August 22.
Xinyou month, Bingyin day.
It is advisable to sacrifice, remove clothes, thank the soil, and travel.
At the beginning of the hour, Jia Cong wore a military uniform in Rongqing Hall to bid farewell to Jia's mother, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and the sisters of the Jia family, and listened to the teachings of his relatives.
At three o'clock, with thirty-six Jia family entourages and four members of the Wuwang personal guard, they opened a long door in the west city of Shenjing.
Thousands of miles to the machine.
