In Sister Feng's nursery, the orioles are singing and the swallows are dancing, and it's a joyful time.
While the dancers went down to get dressed, Sanchun raised their glasses together, came to Sister Feng, and said with a smile: "Second sister-in-law, we respect you."
Sister Feng has no time to spare today. She has to deal with the outside, the inside, and the elders. At this time, she has to come back to accompany her sisters-in-law. Of course, she asked for this voluntarily.
She had already drank a lot of wine, but in the face of the kind words of Yingchun and others, she could only drink a full glass. In this way, a beautiful face became more and more dazzling, making countless women present look in their eyes and feel envious in their hearts.
Who knew that the purpose of Sister Sanchun's trip was not just to give her a glass of wine? Tanchun poked Yingchun with her elbow while her face was full of spring breeze, and then Yingchun held Sister Feng's arm and said, "We are going to open a poetry club. We want to Please ask my sister-in-law to be the 'censor of the society' for us."
"What censor?"
"The censor of the supervising society is the same as the censor of the imperial court. He supervises us and prevents us from slacking off. When we first moved into the garden, I wanted to suggest that everyone set up a poetry club for fun, but these are the only ones in the mansion. The days have been busy, and Xiangyun didn't come again, so I was delayed.
Sister Zhen came yesterday, and she happens to be able to compose poetry, so I couldn't help it anymore. Who knew that everyone would have this idea when I suggested it. "
After listening to Tanchun's supplementary explanation, Sister Feng slowly understood. She subconsciously glanced at the two "Daiyu" on the left, then shook her head and said with a smile: "Then I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. It’s not that I don’t know, how can I do anything wet or dry? Asking me to come over and have a drink is enough. You should ask your second brother Lian for this kind of thing."
Tanchun said: "Of course we have to find him. After all, when it comes to poetry writing, we have so many sisters and brothers, who can be better than the second brother Lian? We originally wanted to ask him to become the president of the company, but Sister Bao said, Brother Lian is busy with official duties all day long, so he has no free time to play with us.
We thought the same thing. If we start a club in the future, if the president is not here today and the president is not here tomorrow, then our club will not be the same. Therefore, in the end, everyone recommended the eldest sister-in-law to be the president of the club. If the second brother Lian has leisure time, he can just be a member of the club. "
Li Wan next to him also said: "I'm not asking you to write poems. You just take charge of the job. If any of them is not active in starting a society or fails to find an excuse, you will have to punish them."
When Sister Feng heard that Li Wan was the president, it was clearly the president's responsibility to supervise the members, but they still wanted to set up another "censor". Thinking of Li Wan's usual stinginess, she immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to coax me, I already guessed it. When you set up a poetry club, you must take turns being the host. Your own monthly money is not enough, so you came up with this method." You forced me to go so that you could ask me for money."
Sister Feng's words made Tanchun and others feel embarrassed. Li Wan said with a smile: "True crystal heart and glass person."
Sister Feng looked at Li Wan and said, half jokingly, half mockingly: "You are still the elder sister-in-law. How much money can they spend to set up a poetry club? Oh, you just don't care and instigate them to make trouble with me? You guys?" Jia Lan'er is going to be the top scholar in the future, and he doesn't need you to save money for him to get a wife. In my opinion, you might as well take out the money and spend it on them, and let them miss you."
Li Wan blushed at what Sister Feng said and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Bah, originally they just said that you are fair and selfless, so they wanted to invite you to be the censor of the prison society. Although I am not like you, I have you. I will give you as much money as my family! I can still get the money for their poetry club. If you are not willing to be the censor, then forget it, we will find someone else worthy."
Choosing a virtuous person instead, the implication is that Sister Feng is not a virtuous person, but a cunning villain. The fact is that Sister Feng misunderstood Li Wan. Although Li Wan was frugal by nature, it was a habit he had developed in the past.
Now the situation at home is different from before. After Jia Lian's explicit or implicit reminders, she is no longer so worried about her son's future. Naturally, she doesn't need to save money for her son so foolishly. .
Besides, there are four wealthy people in the family who are well known to everyone. Not to mention Jia Lian and Sister Feng, the other two are Jia Mu and Daiyu.
Daiyu has already joined the poetry club, and Jia Lian probably won't refuse. Therefore, instead of expending energy to extort some social fees from Sister Feng, it is better to let Jia Lian and Daiyu sponsor a little. Who doesn't know that these two are the most generous.
The two sisters-in-law, Li Wan and Sister Feng, were bickering, and the sisters couldn't interrupt, and just watched the show happily. Zhen Yuhuan, who was a guest at Jia's house for the first time, was watching quietly. She felt that the atmosphere at Jia's house seemed to be much better than that at their home. Especially the god-sister-in-law is very interesting to talk about.
While they were laughing and joking, they suddenly saw a group of women pouring in outside the courtyard gate, each holding a pot of fresh and lush begonia flowers in their hands, which attracted everyone's attention.
Without waiting to ask, he immediately saw the handsome and handsome Jia Lian, dressed in official uniform, walking leisurely.
He also seemed stunned, as if he was surprised that there were so many people in the courtyard.
At this time, Sister Feng couldn't care less about quarreling with Li Wan. She had already floated down from the main corridor like the wind. Only then did she realize that the sisters and sisters-in-law were laughing at her, so she quickly stopped and said with a smile: " Why did you come back so late? Everyone has dispersed outside, and now we are the only ones who are still energetic and having fun here."
Jia Lian first glanced at Sanchun and others on the main corridor, then glanced at the maids and servants standing in the corridors on both sides, then nodded to Sister Feng and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"What's wrong with me..." He glanced at Li Wan and others behind him, and found that they were looking at her with "strange" eyes, so he quickly looked at the crabapples that the old ladies had moved in: "There are still more at this time of the year. Such fresh begonia flowers are really rare, where did you buy them?"
"Yun'er, I don't know where I found them. Just now, you said you needed to replace some flowers in your garden, so I asked someone to move them in for you."
As Jia Lian spoke, he walked to the main corridor, briefly greeted everyone on the corridor, and then went into the house to change clothes.
Li Wan was ashamed to see Jia Lian and asked to leave. Others probably had the same intention when they saw him. Fortunately, Sister Feng dissuaded him in advance: "As soon as he comes back, you have to leave, but he seems to say that you don't want to see him. Good sisters, please sit down for a while and wait for him to come out."
After saying that, she asked Ping'er to take good care of Li Wan and others, while she chased into the house and served Jia Lian to change clothes.
In the couple's bedroom, in front of the large glass dressing mirror, Sister Feng hugged Qingwen and Xiangling and quickly changed Jia Lian into regular clothes. In the meantime, Sister Feng almost explained to Jia Lian what she had done that day. Her tone sounded like she was doing something very well and she wanted to praise her.
Jia Lian was very happy about this and felt that Sister Feng's current change was a good sign. So he touched her head and praised: "I, Jia Lian, am lucky to have such a hard-working and capable daughter-in-law like you."
"Oh, it's a blessing. You don't scold me for being reincarnated as a toil ghost like before, so I'm satisfied."
Sister Feng's words were ungrateful, and the smile on her face had betrayed her.
"I thought it was rare that everyone was happy today, so I invited Ying Yatou and Bao Yatou to come to the yard. Originally, my aunt was also here, but she said that we are all juniors, and we might be more comfortable without her. So I left after not sitting for a while."
"It's boring to sit around, and it's not easy to invite a troupe from outside with great fanfare, so we invited twelve young actors and the four female gentlemen to come over and give us a performance to add to the fun. Don't feel bad for now, it's you I said it myself, the more women there are in our house, the more prestigious I will be, but now I am not powerful yet, I just let them perform a few songs to see."
Sister Feng knew that it was just the twelve little actors. Those four "gentlemen" were all beautiful, and I felt pity for them. Although she didn't feel sorry for them when they woke up, she was afraid that Jia Lian might not be happy because of what she said.
"What did I say?" Jia Lian looked at her in surprise, then waved his sleeves and went out.
It was quieter outside than before, and all the young masters, ladies and masters returned to their seats. When I looked inside the courtyard, I realized that a new round of performances was about to begin.
Going on stage this time is not called going on stage, because Sister Feng did not set up a stage in the courtyard at all, but only laid a rather large red carpet on the ground in the middle. At this time, in the middle of the red carpet, the beauty Gu Qingyi was sitting in front of her guqin, obviously waiting for him, the rightful owner, to come out before starting to play.
She is still like that, used to performing alone without anyone to cooperate.
Jia Lian knew that this was not just because she was withdrawn and aloof and didn't like to cooperate with others. The more important reason is that her temperament is too mundane and her appearance is too beautiful. When others cooperate with her, she can only be the main one, not the foil, otherwise she will become the main one and it will be difficult to distinguish between the main and the secondary.
Therefore, Shen Paner and others do not like to collaborate with her in rehearsing programs.
Gu Qingyi, a girl whose mother is undoubtedly a cold beauty, exudes a deep and inviolable aura all the time. But maybe she and Miaoyu's temperaments were too similar, and their bodies and sizes were similar. This made it hard for Jia Lian, who had just come down from Huancui'an, to ignore her, and suddenly felt that the clothes on her body were not even. Fly away.
The maids brought new stools and put new cups and chopsticks for Jia Lian. Jia Lian put aside his impetuous mood after taking a look, because he found that Li Wan was on his right!
Li Wan obviously realized this, and she didn't dare to look back at Jia Lian.
But this arrangement seems reasonable to others. Before Jia Lian came, Li Wan and Sister Feng were in the middle. Now that Jia Lian is back, he cannot sit sideways due to his status.
Even Sister Feng had no doubts about this. When she came out of the room, she sat down on the left side of Jia Lian and looked up at Gu Qingyi below: "Why is it you again? Okay, Mr. Hou is back, you pick it up Just play a piece of music that the Marquis likes to listen to."
Gu Qingyi nodded, then turned to Jia Lian for instructions: "I don't know which piece of music the Marquis likes to listen to."
Her reaction made Sister Feng narrow her eyes.
Jia Lian also heard the mystery between the two women, and he found it interesting. Thinking of going to other houses, the wives and concubines would quarrel with each other, and they would all show in a roundabout way how much they were valued and favored in front of the master. It was good for him here. The housewife's words hinted at the closeness between Lucky and the male master, and Lucky tried her best to express that I am not familiar with your man.
This is all caused by information asymmetry. How did Gu Qingyi know that he had openly confessed Sima Zhao's heart to Sister Feng a long time ago, so how could she hide it?
So Jia Lian waved his hand and said: "Although your "Guanghan Palace" is very good, it is too decadent and I don't like it very much. In comparison, I like your "Tai Shang Le" more."
Gu Qingyi frowned slightly when he heard this, but did not say anything more. Then he ignored the people and things around him as always and concentrated on his own music world.
And as she worked hard, dozens of people in the courtyard, whether sitting or standing, felt quiet.
Jia Lian didn't speak either, but his focus was not entirely on the music.
This small courtyard, under Sister Feng's careful care, is already quite luxurious. What is rare is that in such a small and luxurious courtyard, in its courtyard and on the corridor, there are people listening to music one by one.
Taking the position where he sits as the central axis, on his left are Feng Jie'er, Daiyu, Zhen Yuhuan, and Xue Baochai, and on his right are Li Wan and the transparent Jia Baoyu, welcoming the spring, exploring the spring, and cherishing the spring.
Behind them and on the corridors on both sides, except for a few servants, were the maids in the courtyard and the personal maids of Daiyu and others.
Ping'er, Qingwen, Xiangling, Xiaohong, Feng'er, Huixiang, Tanyun, Hongling, Caihua; Zijuan, Ying'er, Xueyan, Suyun, Biyue, Shishu, Cuixian, Ruhua, Siqi, Xiuju...
And at the northwest corner, there are twelve officials gathered together.
With just a casual glance, you can see dozens of bright and bright faces. These bright faces, together with the tones danced by Gu Qingyi's fingertips, composed a piece of music in front of his eyes.
It belongs to Jia Lian's flourishing music.
