Seeing that Jia Heng insisted on taking Xichun away, the room fell into a strange silence for a while. Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others all had complicated expressions.
Jia Mu knew that the end was lost, so she sighed and said, "Brother Heng, why don't you leave after dinner?"
Jia Heng said: "It's still early for dinner now. I just had two drinks at my aunt's place, so I'm not very hungry."
Then, he stared at Xichun. At this moment, the little girl with bright eyes and white teeth, combed with airy bangs, was wearing his black cloak. Because a child wears adult clothes, he looks even more petite, exquisite and lovable.
It was just a beautiful, white little face with a surprisingly calm expression, looking at itself.
Their eyes met, and the arrogant little loli didn't know whether she was a little scared or a little shy, so her eyes hurriedly looked away.
"Sister, come with me first, and then I'll have someone pick up your belongings later." Jia Heng said warmly.
Xichun nodded her head and said "hmm".
Jia Mu turned to look up at Xichun, with a kind smile on her face, and said: "Girl Xichun, you stay with your brother Heng for a while. After a few days, the personnel here have been decided, and then we can move." It’s not too late to come over.”
"Grandma." Hearing this, Xichun called out, stood up, and came close enough to break into Jia Mu's arms.
Jia Mu hugged Xichun's shoulders and said comfortingly: "Good boy, you have been sensible and reasonable since you were a child. Your brother Heng now treats you as his own sister and loves you. When you live there, you should listen to your brother's words." "
Xichun responded with "hmm" repeatedly.
Seeing this scene, Jia Heng felt a little relieved.
From this point of view, Xichun may not be a cold-hearted person. At least Jia Mu raised her and the little girl has deep feelings for Jia Mu.
Perhaps, today's Xichun has not yet reached the state of mind that "if you don't be a cruel person, it's hard to be a traitor".
I then remembered that Grandma Liu accidentally met Xichun, who was begging for food on the bridge, and said, "Miss Xichun, something happened to your Jia family."
When Xichun ducked away and said, "Donor, you have recognized the wrong person, there is no fake home or real home." Wasn't it sad?
"I remember that in Dream of Red Mansions, the only time Xichun acted coquettishly was when Grandma Liu said, 'Old Liu, Old Liu, eats as much as a cow, and eats an old sow without raising his head.' At that time, Xichun laughed because her stomach ached, and she hugged her wet nurse Rang rubbed his belly, and then Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden and told Mother Jia to bring a painting of the garden back to open the eyes of her relatives. It was also Xichun who came back to paint. The clues were intertwined, and finally it was concluded that it was an encounter with a stone bridge. It was really... The gray line of grass and snakes, the veins lying thousands of miles away." Jia Heng looked deeply, thinking about the mystery of nature.
However, when I thought deeply, I was suddenly shocked and remembered seeing Grandma Liu entering the Rongguo Mansion...
Over here, Xichun and Jia Mu finished talking, and turned to look at Jia Heng. Although he didn't say a word, his cold, clear eyes were vaguely waiting for something.
Jia Heng nodded at him, smiled, and said, "Let's go."
Xichun responded, but this time his eyes did not dodge. He faced the warm gaze and pursed his lips in silence.
When Jia Mu saw it, she felt a little reluctant and said to Tanchun and Daiyu: "Third girl, girl Lin, you two should also go over and have a look. Once the arrangements are made, come back later."
Sister Feng also ordered Ping'er, saying: "Just keep an eye on it. If there is anything missing, whether you tell Grandma Dongfu Heng or come back to me, you have to get everything done."
Ping'er said: "Yes, Second Grandma."
Xiangyun said: "Grandma, let me take a look too. Can you come back later?"
Jia Mu smiled and agreed.
While Daiyu, Tanchun, Xiangyun, and Ping'er were talking, Jiaheng followed Jiaheng out of the wing, and Xichun's maid entered the painting, followed by Caiping.
As for the clothes, hats, shoes and socks, as well as the dowry and tea sets, there will be maids and mothers-in-law to help clean them up.
Jia Heng led Xichun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun out of the small and unique courtyard. He happened to see two mother-in-laws coming through the moon gate under the flower wall with a pretty woman in a Jingchai sarong.
Jia Heng glanced at it, but without saying anything, he took Xichun along the Chaoshou Corridor and headed towards Dongfu.
After Jia Heng left, looking at the suddenly deserted house, Jia Mu sighed and told Sister Feng: "Girl Feng, this house needs to be tidied up. Brother Heng is helping the house every step of the way." I've done a lot of things here, and here's the girl Xichun...Brother Heng, why don't you feel chilled after hearing this?"
Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes flashed, and she was also quite annoyed with the servant, and said: "Don't worry, old lady, these women and maids in the house who have offended others must be punished."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, her eyes darkened, and she thought to herself that it was indeed time to clean up the matter. If it weren't for the talkative woman in Baoyu's house, who didn't know how to keep her mouth shut, Uncle Heng wouldn't have talked about her Baoyu just now.
Comparing the first-floor master and the second-floor master, using precious jade as a raft, it looked like she was decent!
Mrs. Wang, who might be the biggest loser, had this thought and wanted to go to Baoyu's room no longer if she had no intention of staying any longer.
Of course, Mrs. Wang was kind-hearted. Xu couldn't bear to wait for Sister Feng to punish the servant, so she turned to look at Jia Mu aside. Without thinking much, she smiled and said, "Old lady, it's very cold here. First Just go back."
Mother Jia and Sister Feng: "..."
Li Wan, who was always watching silently, frowned, and there was something strange on Xiuya's face. He took a deep look at his mother-in-law and thought, do you feel cold too? What is the matter with the smokeless beast charcoal in the Baoyu Room that Uncle Heng said earlier?
In fact, Jia Heng had previously pulled Baoyu out, which to some extent blocked Jia Mu's attempts to retain him.
I favor one over the other, and I can't say anything else.
After all, Baoyu is unique in food, daily life, clothing and utensils, followed by Daiyu.
As the saying goes, only Bao and Dai were favored by Jia Mu, especially above Sanchun.
However, Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichun, especially the latter two, have a weak sense of existence, and the status of Xichun is particularly embarrassing. Jia Zhen ignores it, so servants often say, "This is raised in our West Mansion, but I don't know how it works in the East Mansion." How about it?"
Jia Mu sighed, leaned on crutches, and said, "Let's go back first."
After all this trouble, I don't know if there will be a gap between the east and west houses. Also, Brother Heng may have a grudge in his heart. She will have to find a way to resolve it when she goes back.
Not only Jia Mu, but also Sister Feng beside her, was worried and worried about any suspicion, so she ordered Ping'er to go to Dongfu.
After a while, Caiming opened the cotton curtain and said crisply: "Old lady, Second Grandma Lian, the Liu family brought her here."
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and others ignored him and returned to Rongqing Hall surrounded by their mother-in-law and maids.
Not to mention how Sister Feng punished the Liu family and the foul-mouthed mother-in-law here.
But Jia Heng, on his side, took Xichun back to Dongfu.
The group of people walked on the winding corridors of Ningguo Mansion. Jia Heng said softly to Xichun: "There is a small courtyard to the west of the courtyard where I live. You will live there from now on. You will have all the clothes, food and utensils available, and you will be with me." It’s no different, I’ll assign the past two maids to you to take care of them.”
Glancing at the tsundere little loli with a stern face, he felt that when he had time, he would still need some psychological counseling for Xichun.
Otherwise, one day I will say anything harmful to Youshi again.
Xichun tightened the collar of her cloak, raised her eyes to look at the young man who was a few years older than herself, felt a warm current in her heart, and said softly: "Thank you, Brother Heng."
The arrogant little loli was not a heartless person after all, so she quietly changed Uncle Heng into Brother Heng.
Xiangyun Pingguo's round face filled with a smile and said, "Brother Heng loves you so much. It's really enviable. Why, you still have such a stern face."
As he said this, he smiled and reached out to pinch Xichun's pink cheeks.
Xichun was caught off guard. Xiangyun pinched her cheek and said angrily: "Sister Yun."
Xu Shi was infected by Xiangyun's smile, and his cold face could no longer hold back, and a smile appeared on his face.
Jia Heng chuckled and said, "At your age, you should learn from your sister Yun and smile more."
Xichun listened to the soft words with a hint of endearment in his ears. He raised his eyes to look at Jia Heng, whose smile reached his eyes. His eyes were dazed for a moment, but he couldn't help but recall the protection he had just received in the wing.
She was actually paying attention to the rumors about the young man in front of her outside, but what did it have to do with herself?
But now...
Daiyu looked at the two of them from the side, her starry eyes flashed, and she couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart.
While a few people were talking, they entered the inner hall and all sat down. The night was gradually ending. The maid turned on the lamp. The hall was as bright as day. Because there was an earth dragon burning, it didn't look cold.
In the backyard, Qin Keqing, You Shi, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You, who heard that Jia Heng had returned with Xichun, all came together. They had already learned about the affairs of the Xifu from the maid Shishu who accompanied Tanchun.
When Qin Keqing saw Jia Heng, the beauty called out softly: "Husband."
Jia Heng nodded to Qin Keqing and said, "Instruct people to clean up the courtyard in the west, let sister Xichun live there, and send two maids over to take care of it."
When You saw Xichun, she also approached and called, "Sister."
Xichun was obviously a little cold towards Youshi, the smile on her face faded a little, and she called out: "Sister-in-law."
Just at this moment, Qin Keqing ordered Baozhu to clean up the courtyard. You turned around and said with a smile, "Baozhu is waiting in front of you. I'll take Cai Die over."
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes moved slightly, she responded with a smile, and let You go.
Xichun stared at Youshi, pursed her pink lips, and said nothing.
Jia Heng felt a little emotional when he saw the scene of ice-like respect between his sister-in-law and her sister-in-law.
When You was Jia Zhen's wife, she was known as a saw-mouthed gourd, but Jia Zhen ignored her sister in Xifu.
It was impossible for Xichun not to feel chilled in her heart, so Xichun had no good impressions of Youshi, who was submissive to Jia Zhen.
Thinking of this, Jia Heng picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
He thought to himself, if Xichun saw Youshi giving him a scarf that day, would he say, "Sister-in-law, Xichun has something to say...is sister-in-law worthy of her brother who is living in exile?"
Hard to say...
"This withdrawn, indifferent temperament, and cold-heartedness is probably even harder to control than Qingwen's explosive temper." Jia Heng put down the teacup, thinking, and happened to face Qingwen who was standing beside him.
Qingwen, with her slender shoulders and slim waist, smiled softly at Jia Heng. That charming face, huh? The eyebrows and eyes are curved, showing a bit of gentleness and suppleness.
Jia Heng's expression paused slightly, and he couldn't help but laugh.
I already have a girl with this kind of problem, and Xichun is not that bad.
Over here, Qin Keqing held Xichun's hand and said greetings.
In the gentle and peaceful conversation, Xichun was not as cold as before. He answered the words one by one, and Xiangyun added with a smile.
It wasn't until night fell that Mrs. You and her maid Cai Die came over and said that the courtyard was tidied up, then Qin Keqing led Xichun there to wait for them to settle down.
Later, Qin Keqing and Xichun talked alone.
On the other side, in the small hall of the study, Jia Heng, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xiangyun were having tea around the fire. Jia Heng was mainly asking about Xichun's changes in the past two years.
Tan Chun said softly: "Brother Heng, sister Xichun used to be better. She talked and joked more. It's only in the past two years that she didn't laugh or talk. This time I moved here, I hope I can live a happier life." "
Jia Heng sighed and said: "I see that her temperament is cold and withdrawn. There are Buddhist scriptures in her room. I will never read such books in the future. Such Buddhist scriptures are the most evocative and make people think." Excessive, to say the least..."
Then he looked at Daiyu on the side and said: "Speaking of which, Sister Lin has a frown on her eyebrows and is melancholy in her heart. I remember when we first met, I also told my sister to think less and worry less."
Daiyu's starry eyes were angry and she said softly: "Brother Heng was talking about sister Xichun, why did he suddenly talk about me?"
There is a bit of warmth flowing through the depths of my heart.
Thinking less and worrying less, how could she not know, just...
Xiangyun smiled and said, "Brother Heng, what about me?"
Jia Heng smiled and said: "Sister Yun is heroic and open-minded. Needless to say, it would be great if Sister Xichun and Sister Lin could learn from Sister Yun's mentality."
Xiangyun giggled, took Daiyu's arm, rubbed it in her arms, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, you have to learn something from me."
Daiyu: "..."
Jia Heng thought for a while and said softly: "I just remembered a couplet and planned to give it to Sister Lin as an encouragement. If my sister likes it, it can be used as a motto."
When Daiyu heard this, the bright autumn eyes under her eyebrows were filled with waves. She was suddenly attracted and said softly: "Brother Heng, what is the couplet?"
Tanchun also turned to look at Jia Heng at this moment, with hope shining in his bright and charming eyes.
Jia Heng said slowly: "I am not surprised by the favor or disgrace. I am leisurely watching the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court. I have no intention of leaving or leaving, and the clouds are rolling and relaxing in the sky. I give this couplet to my sister."
This is a sentence from Chen Jiru's "Little Window Youji". Because the Ming Dynasty died in the 29th year of Jiajing, and Chen Jiru was not yet born at that time, this couplet has never been revealed to the world.
Daiyu listened to the couplet and read the words. Her bright autumn eyes seemed to be full of smoke. She raised her eyes and looked clearly at the young man opposite. When she met the clear eyes, for a moment, her heart trembled slightly, and she felt a little unaware. At a loss.
With Daiyu's literary talent, one can feel the tranquility and leisurely state of mind in this couplet.
Because of this, I feel...well-intentioned.
Moreover, this was done just for her. The moment I thought about it, I couldn't help but feel joyful.
Tan Chun's bright eyes glowed, he murmured and repeated the couplet, and praised: "It's really broad-minded and indifferent."
Xiangyun murmured, Pingguo's round face was full of joy, and he smiled: "Brother Heng, I love this couplet of yours the most, why don't you give it to me?"
As he said that, he took Jia Heng's arm and without thinking much for a moment, he just rubbed it like a coquettish person subconsciously.
Daiyu: "???"
Is this for you?
This is just for her...
Feeling Xiang Yun's pointed little lotus, Jia Heng retracted his arms, smiled and said, "Sister Yun is born to be open-minded, so she doesn't need this couplet to encourage herself."
Upon hearing this, Daiyu loosened the handkerchief she had hidden under the table.
The few of them chatted and laughed for a while. After a while, Qin Keqing came to call for dinner.
Jia Heng left the small hall with Daiyu, Tanchun and Xiangyun.
