Lin Daiyu watched Jia Cong finish writing and guessed it immediately.
He smiled and said, "Brother Cong, it's easy for you to guess this, right? You'll know it as soon as you think about it."
Hearing this, Xue Baochai came over to take a look, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Cong's riddle is quite vivid."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "That's about it. Let's join in the fun. Don't you want the eldest sister to not be able to guess it?"
Lin Daiyu said: "My mother's literary talent is much better than yours. During this period, you rarely read. After my father became an official, there is no one to teach you."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "I don't take the imperial examination. I can just take a look when I have time. Just for fun."
While a few people were talking, everyone else also wrote riddles, sealed them, and gave them to the little eunuch. Even Jia Huan and Jia Lan also participated. Jia Cong also sealed his riddles and handed them to the little eunuch. eunuch.
After the little eunuch left, Jia Mu also became interested.
Then someone made a small and exquisite screen lantern and put it in the room, and asked the sisters to do it secretly, write out the words and stick them on the screen, and then prepared fragrant tea, small fruits, and various toys as a gift. Luck.
Jia Cong also asked Yuanyang and Heping'er to prepare a lot of novel gifts, which made Jia's mother even happier.
"Brother Cong, didn't you write one just now? Post the next one too. The more you write, the more fun it will be."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Now that the old lady has spoken, I will write another one. Grandson, I am not good at writing articles. I can't help but come up with a few riddles."
After that, he came to the eucalyptus tree next to him, thought for a while, and then picked up a pen and wrote down a riddle.
'It will cry when you cry, it will laugh when you laugh, and if you ask it who it is, it will say that you know. (Hit a common object)'
Everyone rarely saw anything about Jia Cong, so they all gathered around and looked at the eucalyptus.
Jia Huan said: "Hey, it cries when you cry, and laughs when you laugh. What is this thing? It can also cry and laugh. Is it alive?"
Xichun said: "Brother, what is this? Can you still cry and laugh?"
Shi Xiangyun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Third brother, I know what it is. Fourth sister, do you want me to tell you?"
Xichun said: "No, let me think about it again."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "This is interesting, I guessed it."
Seeing the lively chatter among the people, Jia Mu asked, "What riddle did Brother Cong come up with? Bring it to me and see if I can guess it."
Jia Baoyu quickly took it to Jia Mu. Jia Mu looked at it and began to think about it.
After a while, Jia Mu said, "It should be a mirror."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "Old lady, you guessed it right, it's the mirror, third brother, right?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Well, it's just a mirror, but the old lady is still very good, she can guess it right away."
Jia Mu said with a smile: "When I was young, although I was not a talented woman, my brain was very flexible. It was not difficult for me to guess a riddle."
Xichun said: "It turns out to be a mirror, why didn't I think of it? Brother, come up with another one for me to guess."
Jia Cong said: "Isn't there a lot of stickers on that lamp? You can guess what's on it."
Xichun said: "I know all the riddles above, there are no novel ones. Brother, hurry up and come up with another one. No one has guessed the riddle you came up with, right Sister Lin."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It's true. We guess every year and are familiar with it. You are the only one who doesn't participate much. You finally participated once this year. Just satisfy everyone's requirements."
Jia Cong said: "Okay, then I will give you another one. Listen carefully, 'Two brothers are as tall as each other and can eat three meals a day without gaining weight.' Guess a daily necessities."
Jia Huan thought for a while and said: "Third brother, you are wrong. It is said to be daily necessities, how can you eat it?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother Huan, that's because you didn't guess right. If you guessed right, you'll know."
Xichun chuckled and said, "I know, I know, it's Kuaizi, isn't it, brother?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Well, my sister is smart and guessed it right away."
Xue Baochai said: "These riddles of Brother Cong are quite vivid, and you can guess them if you think carefully."
Jia Mu smiled and said, "I'll give you one too. Guess it. It's a monkey standing lightly on the treetop. Name the fruit."
Jia Cong thought for a moment and guessed it, but he didn't say anything. He left it to others to guess and let everyone participate.
Tanchun said: "I guessed it, old lady, it's lychee, right?"
Jia Mu chuckled and said, "Three girls guessed it right."
Everyone talked and laughed around Jia Mu for a while, and came to the big lantern in the middle of the room.
There were already a lot of riddles posted on the lamp screen, and Jia Cong also leaned over to read them.
'There are endless merits and principles for people with destiny, and it is rare to have merit but no luck; why are the days in the sky chaotic, just because the numbers of yin and yang are different. '
This is written by Yingchun, and the answer is abacus.
'When the children at the foot of the stairs look up, it is most appropriate to decorate during the Qingming Festival; when the hairspring is broken and powerless, don't complain to the east wind about parting. '
This is about exploring spring, and the answer is a kite.
Jia Cong looked at them one by one, but he couldn't guess a few of them.
While they were talking and laughing, the little eunuch came back again.
"I have guessed everything I made, but the second lady and the third master guessed it wrong. The ladies also guessed what they made. I don't know if it is true or not."
Then he took out the riddle again and let everyone check it.
There are some who have guessed, some who have not guessed, and they all say they have guessed, just for fun.
The young eunuch then gave the gifts to those who guessed, including a palace-made poetry tube and a teacup.
Du Yingchun and Jia Huan did not get it.
Yingchun thought it was a trivial matter and didn't mind, but Jia Huan found it boring.
And I heard the eunuch say: "What the Third Master said doesn't make sense, and I didn't even guess. She asked me to take it back and ask what the Third Master is."
After hearing this, everyone came over to see what he wrote?
I saw it said, "The eldest brother has only eight horns, and the second brother has only two horns." The eldest brother only sits on the bed, while the second brother likes to squat on the room. '
Everyone saw it and couldn't help laughing.
Jia Huan scratched his head and said, "A pillow and an animal head."
······
A few days later, a good day was chosen.
Jia Cong asked Mrs. Xing to come forward, invite a matchmaker, and bring a generous betrothal gift to the Xue family to propose marriage.
My marriage to Xue Baochai was finally settled.
Aunt Xue felt relieved about a big thing. She felt relieved to see that her daughter's life was settled.
As time goes by, the weather gradually warms up.
Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, and everything is revived.
It's time for the sisters to move into the Grand View Garden.
Jia Cong went to the palace and talked to Yuan Chun. Yuan Chun happened to have the same idea, and the two coincided with each other.
After going back and telling the old lady, Jia Cong came to Lin Daiyu's yard.
"Hey, I have a sister, so I forgot about my sister. I didn't see anyone all day yesterday. I was busy accompanying your sister Bao. It's rare that I can still think of my sister. It shows that I still have some conscience."
As soon as Jia Cong entered the door, he was beaten by Lin Daiyu.
It seems that this little wife is also jealous.
Zijuan was on the side, covering her mouth and snickering.
Jia Cong shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "Zijuan, did you knock over the vinegar jar in your house? Why is there such a sour smell? It almost made me sour. I can't help it."
Zijuan chuckled and said, "Master Guo, why didn't I smell it? Is there something wrong with your nose?"
Jia Cong said: "No, I have a very good nose."
While smelling, he walked towards Lin Daiyu, came to Lin Daiyu, and hugged her.
"I found it. It's such a jealous jar."
"Bah, you are the jealous one. Your whole family is jealous."
Lin Daiyu was naturally not happy to be called a jealous person. She was already generous enough, but it was too much for this heartless person to talk about herself like that.
He raised his fist and punched Jia Cong on the shoulder.
Looking at Lin Daiyu with her little mouth pouted, Jia Cong directly lowered his head and kissed her.
No amount of explanation is better than direct action.
Lin Daiyu said that she was not really jealous, she was just joking with Jia Cong. When she saw him suddenly kissing her, she couldn't help but blush.
Although it wasn't the first time they were intimate, Zijuan was still watching. How embarrassing was that?
I wanted to break free, but was hugged tightly by Jia Cong.
Thinking that Zijuan would be his wife in the future and might serve Jia Cong together, he stopped struggling.
He hugged Jia Cong's neck with both hands and took the initiative to cater to him.
Seeing the two of them hugging each other and making out, Zijuan's face turned red. Thinking of Jia Cong bullying her, she couldn't help but blush, her legs became weak, and she couldn't move her legs even if she wanted to hide out.
For a long time...the lips parted.
Seeing that Zijuan didn't hide out, Lin Daiyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He glared at Jia Cong and said with a "hum": "You are a bad guy, you know how to bully me, Zijuan, why don't you come over to help, just watch him bully me like this?"
Zijuan curled her lips. What the girl said was so contrary to her will. She was enjoying herself just now.
If he really stepped forward and interrupted their intimacy, he would probably blame himself for being nosy, and he was not that stupid.
"Girl, your skills are so good, you are no match for the Duke of Guo. I am a three-legged cat. Isn't that just delivering food? I just saw that the girl is enjoying herself, so I don't dare to disturb you."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, her face suddenly turned red.
"Oh, you damn girl, you're so cowardly. You want to rebel. Let's see how I deal with you."
Zijuan giggled, got up and ran out.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Okay, she has already run away, why should we chase her?"
Lin Daiyu snorted and said, "It's all your fault. I made a fool of myself. You didn't even check to see if anyone was around, so you just messed around."
Jia Cong said: "Zijuan has been with us for so many years. She is a loyal and reliable person, and she is not an outsider. Besides, how can we hide our affairs from her? She is the one who helps us look after people every time. "
Lin Daiyu didn't really want to do anything, but she was teased by Zijuan and felt a little embarrassed.
After hearing what Jia Cong said, they gave up and sat down on the bench in front of the window.
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, now that the weather is warm, I want you and your sisters to move into the garden. The garden has a big space and a good environment. Now that spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it's a good time to play. You guys You can have fun in the garden."
Hearing this, Lin Daiyu said happily: "Brother Cong, tell the truth. I also like the scenery in the garden, but will the empress agree? Do you want to ask first? After all, it is the provincial residence. "
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, I went to the palace and asked. The eldest sister also meant the same thing. I also told the old lady that I came here this time to talk to you about this matter. Which courtyard do you like? You can start with Pick one you like.”
Lin Daiyu thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "I thought Xiaoxiang Pavilion was very good. What I love most is that there is a curved railing hidden among the bamboo poles, which makes it feel more quiet than elsewhere."
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said with a smile: "We both thought of going together, and we really have a good understanding.
I have already had people clean up Yihongyuan. As our Ning Mansion’s foothold in the garden, there will normally be people there. When I go in to accompany you, I can also take a rest there.
These two places are closest to each other, and they are just right for you to keep company. If anything happens, just go and tell them. You are their mistress, so don't be polite to them. "
Hearing what Jia Cong said, Lin Daiyu felt even happier. Brother Cong still likes me the most.
"Brother Cong, don't you live in the garden?"
Jia Cong sighed and said: "I also want to live in the garden and play with you every day, but as the head of the family, I have too many things to do and many people looking for me. Living in the garden is too inconvenient. .
The old lady wanted Baoyu to live in, but I refused. He can come in and play during the day, but he will not be allowed to live in the yard at night. The yard is full of girls, and even the guards are female. You can live here with peace of mind. "
Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "If you don't let Brother Bao move in, he will definitely not be happy. He will probably make trouble with the old lady, and he will definitely make trouble with you again. Second Auntie will probably be unhappy as well."
Jia Cong said: "Baoyu is a grown man now. It's not appropriate to hang out with you anymore. It's time to work hard and do something serious. If he makes trouble, I will ask my second uncle to deal with him."
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she burst out laughing.
"Brother Cong, you are so mean. Second brother Bao is most afraid of his second uncle. Meeting his second uncle is like a mouse meeting a cat. However, second uncle's intervention can actually calm second brother Bao. I guess the old lady My second aunt will be unhappy."
Jia Cong said: "Ignore them, just do whatever you want. Baoyu is not as innocent as he appears. The last time Baoyu was beaten, it was because he and Qin Zhong secretly went to Shuiyue Nunnery to molest the little nun."
When I arrived, the little nun was taking off her clothes. If I hadn't arrived in time, they would have succeeded. I can't keep this matter public, and I have to cover it up for him in front of everyone. You don't know the truth.
If he moves in, you and Sister Bao won't be able to live there. That will damage your reputation, and I won't agree to it. At that time, there will be guards guarding the door, and ordinary people will not be allowed to enter the courtyard. "
Lin Daiyu was stunned when she heard this. It turned out that Baoyu was beaten last time because of this incident.
"Brother Cong, how did the second uncle know?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "It was that boy Jia Huan who tipped off the second uncle and made it even more jealous. Otherwise, Baoyu wouldn't have been beaten so hard."
