The funerals of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong were much simpler than those of Jia She. No one was invited except their relatives.
As the ancestor of the Jia family, Jia's mother came to see her nephew and grandson for a funeral. It was already a great show of affection, so naturally she didn't need to stay overnight in the family temple.
When she was leaving, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others were naturally preparing to return to the city. One is to escort Jia Mu, and the other is to save You and others trouble.
But Xichun, as the legitimate daughter of Ningguo Mansion, must stay at this time.
She was not familiar with the people in Ningguo Mansion, so she was worried that she would be bored, so she took Tanchun and others and asked: "Third sister, why don't you stay too? Let's stay together. You are coming over tomorrow anyway." …”
For Tanchun and others, going out is a rare thing, and being able to visit the temple is also a new and interesting thing.
"We can't make the decision..." Faced with Xichun's request to stay, Tanchun smiled and nuzzled in the direction of Jia Baoyu.
Xichun understood and hurriedly shook Jia Baoyu's arm, "Second brother, go talk to the old lady and let you stay.
Maybe, we can go to Shuiyue An together when the time comes..."
I originally thought that Jia Baoyu, who was always fun-loving and talkative, would immediately agree to her younger sister's request.
Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu just smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sat aside without saying anything. His expression seemed a little downcast.
Everyone was puzzled, so Tanchun asked him, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Jia Baoyu made a fool of himself in Shuiyue Temple because of Jia She's funeral last time, and also implicated Qin Zhong and Zhi'er.
These two are his good friends and playmates!
However, since what happened that day, Qin Zhong was punished by Qin Bangye Haosheng when he went back, so that he became seriously ill and has not recovered yet.
Because of this, Zhi'er was driven away by his second brother Lian, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Thinking about it, I still have the mood to visit sad places more often, I just wish I could go back as soon as possible.
It's just that this feeling cannot be explained to Tanchun.
Daiyu next to her had a keen mind and was familiar with Jia Baoyu's personality, so she suddenly had two guesses in her mind.
When Tanchun asked Jia Baoyu but couldn't respond, she hummed, "It's probably because Sister-in-law You's two younger sisters didn't come today, so he's not in the mood anymore and doesn't want to stay here any longer."
It was inconvenient to say more about the Shuiyue An incident, so Daiyu only talked about it.
A few days ago, Jia Baoyu went to Ningguo Mansion every day. Jia's mother and others also said that Jia Baoyu was sensible and knew how to kowtow in front of the soul more often.
She was confused at first, but she didn't understand until she saw Jia Baoyu following the two You sisters with her own eyes.
She was too familiar with the scene of Ge Yin. Jia Baoyu usually treated her like this.
But Daiyu still underestimated Jia Baoyu. It is true that he likes beautiful women, but they usually come and go quickly.
Only Daiyu can really keep him in his heart for a long time.
At this time, when he saw Daiyu choking him with such words in front of him, he felt very unhappy and looked at Daiyu with a deep eyebrow.
This was the first time he was ridiculed by Daiyu. What dissatisfied Jia Baoyu the most was that he felt that his thoughts were all about Daiyu, but not only did Daiyu not feel his affection, she also misunderstood him and slandered him! He really failed to live up to his sincerity.
If it weren't for Daiyu, he would have turned away and left long ago.
Jia Baoyu felt that he had restrained his temper, but his expression fell into Daiyu's eyes, making Daiyu's mood instantly not beautiful.
He stared at me!
He actually glared at me.
In almost an instant, Daiyu had analyzed many things from one look!
Huh, you're still not happy, and I'm not talking about you.
Daiyu, who vowed to ignore Jia Baoyu again, stood up and came out with her head raised.
When they reached the corridor, they were blown by the slightly cool breeze. Daiyu lowered her pursed lips, but she didn't know where to go.
What is Brother Lian doing at this time?
Thinking of this, Daiyu immediately walked along the corridor to Jia Lian's resting place.
…
When I came to the corridor outside Jia Lian's house, I was wondering what reason to find to see Jia Lian, when I heard Wang Xifeng's voice coming from under the window inside:
"I will follow the old lady and the others back in a moment. You can live in peace tonight.
Don't make a joke like Baoyu did last time. When the time comes, it will damage the reputation of your second master Lian. "
When Daiyu heard that Wang Xifeng was inside, she subconsciously wanted to turn around and go back.
But curiosity prompted her to slow down.
You might as well listen to what brother Lian and sister-in-law Lian have to say in private...
"If you don't trust me, why don't you stay here yourself. Don't think that I don't know why you left Xiaohong here. What do you think is the difference between her and Qingwen? How dare she disobey me?"
As Jia Lian's words fell, there were some "wow-wow-wow" sounds coming from inside, which were indescribable sounds based on Daiyu's experience.
Daiyu's face suddenly turned red, her heart was beating loudly, and she thought, in the clear sky, this is not what they are doing...
It seems that it doesn't matter. They are a couple, but it is too shameful for me to hide here and listen to the private affairs of my brother and sister-in-law.
When I think about it, I feel the urge to leave.
However, his feet were weak and he only took a few steps back.
Fortunately, voices resumed inside immediately. It seemed that Sister-in-law Lian pushed Brother Lian away and cursed a few words such as "no conscience" and "not happy".
"By the way, after I leave Beijing, I have something for you to worry about."
"What's up?"
"Sister Lin is delicate. You should pay more attention to taking care of her in normal times."
"Haha, Sister Lin is the old lady's sweetheart, and she lives next to the old lady. She doesn't need me to take care of her."
"Anyway, you just need to pay more attention to what's going on in her house. You know how difficult those people in our family are.
Sister Lin has a delicate mind and is a guest. She is not used to arguing with others. If she has been wronged in any way, she will not tell the old lady.
Therefore, as a sister-in-law, you have to keep an eye on me. "
"Hoho, look what you said, even though some people in our family are short-sighted, who dares to really mess with her?
I know that Mr. Lin has shown support and care for you, so you are afraid that your sister Lin will be wronged in our house. Don't worry, I've taken note of what you said. This is what should be done. "
"..."
Daiyu, who was still feeling guilty, was suddenly touched when she heard Jia Lian and Sister Feng talking about this.
Sure enough, Brother Lian is the one who understands me best and cares about me the most in this family...
But the reason is really what Sister Feng said. Is it just because of my father that Brother Lian cares about me? Daiyu slowly let go of her hand on the wall pillar and stood there, a little dazed.
I don't know how long I stood like this, but suddenly I heard the sound of the door opening.
Daiyu came back to her senses instantly and knew that Wang Xifeng was about to come out. In a panic, she only saw a pot of evergreen tree on the corridor that might be a place to hide, so she hid there without thinking.
Sure enough, through the sparse leaves, I could faintly see Wang Xifeng taking Ping'er out, tidying up her clothes in front of the door, and then leaving quickly.
Fortunately, none of them looked this way.
It wasn't until Wang Xifeng and Wang Xifeng disappeared that Daiyu completely relaxed. She couldn't help but lean against the corner with her arms, secretly slowing down her breathing.
At this time, Brother Lian should be the only one in the room. Do you want to go in...
But what should you do once you get in?
After hesitating for a moment, he heard footsteps coming from ahead again. It turned out to be Qingwen running briskly into Jia Lian's room.
Daiyu naturally didn't dare to let her see it.
However, when she heard the sound of the door closing again and Qingwen talking happily to Jia Lian inside, Daiyu's mood dropped again.
Unintentionally eavesdropping on what Jia Lian and the maid were saying, when she saw no one around, she quietly stood up and walked back quickly.
