On this day, the Jia family received a letter from Jiangnan, saying that the legitimate son of the Zhen family was getting married next month, and the wedding invitation was sent out in advance. The Rongguo Mansion is preparing to send Jia Lian to congratulate him.
Originally, Jia Huan, as the head of the Ningguo Mansion, was also going.
When Jia Huan became the top pick in high school, the Zhen family also sent their children to congratulate him.
But since Jia Huan is in Dingyou, he naturally can't go out - well, Jia Huan himself doesn't want to go.
He just gave some money to Jia Lian and asked him to take it with him.
I thought for a moment that the Zhen family in Jiangnan was not far away from being confiscated and wiped out.
Jia Lian took the time to go to the back streets.
Second Sister You persuaded him: "Since you have business, why bother to come here again? Don't waste time on me. You will get up in a few days, and it will take half a month to come."
"In this case, just go ahead with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about anything here. Third sister, she will never change from day to day. She has said she will repent, and she will definitely do so. She has already chosen the person, you just need to obey her. She is.”
Jia Lian asked who it was, and Sister You smiled and said: "This person is not here at the moment. I don't know how early he came, and it is difficult for her to see. I said that if this person doesn't come for a year, she will wait for a year."
"If she doesn't come for ten years, if she waits for ten years, if this person dies and never comes again, she would rather shave her head and become a sister-in-law, eat long fasts and chant Buddha's name to live out her life."
Jia Lian asked: "Who is it that touches her heart like this?"
The second sister smiled and said, "It's a long story. Five years ago, my mother and I went there to celebrate my birthday at my mother's house. His family invited a guest, and there was a young lady named Liu Xianglian."
"She has fallen in love with him, and now she will marry him. Last year, we heard that Liu Xianglian had gone somewhere. I wonder if she has been here before?"
Jia Lian listened and said: "What a strange way! I asked what kind of person he was, and it turned out to be him! He really has good eyesight. You don't know this Liu Erlang."
"Such a beautiful man is most cold-faced and cold-hearted, and almost all people are ruthless and unrighteous. He came to be with Baoyu the most, but he disappeared without knowing where. If he didn't come back, he wandered around, and he didn't come back until a few years ago. , wouldn’t the delay be in vain?”
Second Sister You said: "We three girls can say what they say and do what they do. No matter what she says, we just have to do whatever she wants."
It was also a coincidence that on the next day, Liu Xianglian returned from other places, and Jia Lian happened to know about it.
The next day coincided with Jia Baoyu's tenth day off from bathing, so he invited Baoyu to invite Liu Xianglian out.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Jia Lian took advantage of the wine and said, "I have a good marriage worthy of my second brother."
After saying that, he said that he was going to marry Mrs. You, and now he was going to marry his aunt, but he didn't say anything about Sister You's choice.
He also told Jia Baoyu not to tell his family. He would naturally know about it when he gave birth to a son.
Jia Baoyu quickly agreed.
Xianglian said: "I originally had a wish to have a stunningly beautiful woman. Now that I am a noble and noble person, I don't have much to worry about. Whatever you decide, I will obey."
Jia Lian smiled and said: "Now there is no proof for what I say. When Brother Liu sees her, he will know that my wife's appearance is unique in ancient and modern times."
"You and I have an agreement, but I can't trust Brother Liu. You are just a wanderer. If you go out and wander around, won't you miss others? You must be polite."
Xianglian said: "How can a man break his promise? I am from a poor family, how can I have the right etiquette?"
Jia Lian smiled and said: "There is no need for gifts of gold or silk. It must be something that Brother Liu personally owns. No matter how high or low it is, I will just take it with you to get your trust."
Xianglian said: "Now that I have said that, I don't have anything else. This sword can't be taken off for self-defense. There is also a Mandarin Duck sword in the bag, which is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in my family. I don't dare to use it without permission, so I just keep it with me."
"Brother Jia, please take it for your own sake. Even though I have the nature of flowing water and falling flowers, I will never let go of this sword."
After getting the sword, Jia Lian hurriedly went to the back street to claim credit, took out the Yuanyang sword and handed it to his third sister.
When the third sister looked at it, there was a dragon swallowing Kuihu on it, and the jewels were shining brightly. When she clicked the target, there were two fused weapons inside.
One hand has the character "鸳" chiselled on it, and the other hand has the character "鸯" chiselled on it. It is cold and bright, like two traces of autumn water.
The third sister was overjoyed and quickly put it away, hanging it on the bed in her embroidery room, looking at the sword, smiling to herself that she would be able to rely on it for life.
But after she sobered up the next day, Liu Xianglian suddenly came back to her senses and felt that something was wrong.
Where is he missing a character? How come you only think of me? Besides, I'm not very friendly to him, so I can't care enough about him.
Yesterday, we had to decide the time for drinking yesterday. Could it be that the girl’s family is chasing the husband’s family?
Liu Xianglian herself became confused and regretted that she should not have kept the sword to make a decision.
After thinking about it again and again, he couldn't help but go to the Imperial College, called Jia Baoyu out, and decided to ask what happened.
Hearing Liu Xianglian's question, Baoyu couldn't help but said: "You are a delicate person, how come you have doubts after making a promise? You originally said that you only want a stunning beauty, but now that you have a stunning beauty, that's it. Why should you doubt it again?"
Xianglian said: "If you don't know that he is married, how can you know that she is stunningly beautiful?"
Baoyu said: "They are the two aunts brought by Sister-in-law Zhen's stepmother. I spent a month hanging out with them there a few days ago during the funeral of Mr. Dongfu. How could I not know? They are such a pair of beauties, and she is The surname is You."
After hearing this, Xianglian fell to her feet and said: "This is not a good thing, it can't be done. Except for the two stone lions in your Dongfu who are clean, I'm afraid even the cats and dogs are not clean. I won't do this."
Speaking of this, Liu Xianglian hurriedly explained: "I am talking about the time when Uncle Xianzhen and his son were here. Now that the Third Master has become the head of the Ningguo Mansion, it is naturally not the case."
Baoyu blushed when he heard about it. Xianglian felt ashamed of her words and quickly bowed and said, "I'm damn nonsense, why don't you tell me what her character is like?"
Baoyu smiled and said: "You know this very well, and why do you come to ask me? Even I may not be clean."
Xianglian smiled and said: "It turns out that I forgot my feelings for a moment, so at least don't worry about it."
Baoyu smiled and said: "Why bother mentioning it again, this is quite intentional."
After bidding farewell to Baoyu, Liu Xianglian was determined to cancel the marriage.
Having made up his mind, he went all the way to find Jia Lian.
Jia Lian was in his new house when he heard that Xianglian had arrived. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurriedly welcomed him out and asked him to meet You Lao in the inner room.
Xianglian only bowed and called her old aunt, and claimed that she was born late. Jia Lian was surprised to hear this.
While having tea, Xianglian said: "We were in a hurry among the guests. Who knew that my aunt made an appointment with my brother-in-law in April, leaving me speechless. It seems unreasonable to follow my brother and betray my aunt."
"If it's a gold or silk item, I dare not ask for it, but this sword was left behind by my grandfather. Please give it back to me."
After Jia Lian heard this, he felt uncomfortable and said: "It's determined, it's determined! I'm afraid that I'll regret it, so I decided to do it. Is there any marriage matter where you can come and go at will? You still have to think about it."
Xianglian smiled and said: "Although I say this, I am willing to accept the responsibility and punishment, but I definitely dare not obey my orders in this matter."
Jia Lian continued to chatter, so Xiang Lian stood up and said, "Brother, please sit outside and talk. It's inconvenient here." (End of Chapter)
