This girl Suyun really dared to say that she actually asked her to stay after she opened her mouth. This made Jia Cong a little suspicious. Did the master and servant have already discussed it and used different methods to plot against him?
This is too much, Li Wan is not like this in ordinary times, she is a model of a feudal lady.
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? It's okay to say such things. Do you know the consequences of doing that? I'm fine, but if you hurt your sister-in-law, it's a sin." Su Yun did not step forward to help, but said: "Master Guo, our grandma is actually living a very hard life. Just pity her and stay with her. I won't talk nonsense." Jia Cong stared at her. He looked into Suyun's eyes and said: "Suyun, do you know what you are talking about? This kind of thing is not a joke, it will cause big trouble." Suyun said: "Of course I know, I just don't want to look at us It's really hard for grandma to suffer again." Jia Cong frowned. He wouldn't care about a girl's opinion. She also knew that Li Wan had a hard life. Which widow didn't have a hard life? Well, this is all fate, and I am not the savior, so how can I care so much.
Looking at Li Wan who was holding on to her hand, he didn't know if she was awake at this time. Jia Cong leaned over and said, "Sister-in-law, you've drunk too much. Go get some rest early. I'll go back first." After saying that, he wanted to break free and leave, but Li Wan still held on to Jia Cong and wouldn't let go, but said: " I didn’t drink too much, I can drink more, don’t leave, let’s continue drinking.” Jia Cong was a little speechless, it seems that he really drank too much, even now, he still wants to drink, this wine is not as good as Wang Xifeng Woolen cloth.
At this time, Li Wan had actually woken up a long time ago. At that time, she just drowsed for a moment and then came back to her senses.
It was just that the situation was rather embarrassing at the time, so in order to avoid embarrassment for everyone, I could only continue to pretend. I didn’t expect that this brother-in-law had such strong concentration and he was already so proactive. He could actually hold back and refused to offend me. Was it because he was too charming to attract him, or was he really a gentleman? Woolen cloth?
At this time, she felt very complicated in her heart, feeling a little relieved but also a little unwilling. But by this time, she was already drunk. She didn't have to pretend to be drunk, and her brain was already in a state of confusion.
Looking at Jia Cong who was close to Chi Chi, the previous dream appeared in front of him again, overlapping with the person in front of him.
Those beautiful scenes appeared in his mind again, making Li Wan's heart beat faster and his breathing gradually became faster.
He couldn't help but hold Jia Cong's hand harder. Feeling Li Wan's strange behavior, Jia Cong became a little confused. He seemed to be emotional. Could it be that the wine was drugged?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be shocked, but don't be drugged again. I quickly felt my condition and saw that nothing was wrong with me, so I felt relieved.
Just looking at Li Wan like this, something was obviously wrong. Could it be that he was really emotional? Could it be that after guarding it for so many years, it can no longer be guarded today?
Ordinarily it shouldn't be. This sister-in-law is very old-fashioned and tight, but she is said to be as sweet as she is.
"Gao Mu is dead" character. Just when Jia Cong was thinking wildly, a sudden change occurred, and Li Wan actually came closer.
"This..." The sudden change made Jia Cong stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Could it be that she took the medicine herself? At this time, Su Yun said again: "Master Guo, our grandma is so pitiful, just stay with her." Jia Cong sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he can't leave today if he doesn't leave something behind.
Seeing Jia Cong's silence, Su Yun stepped forward and smiled softly.
"My lord, I will stay here to serve you." What else could Jia Cong say? If he refused, he would not be a man. This was obviously a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
Jia Congjue feels that his luck in love affairs has been a bit too strong recently. He doesn't even have to try to figure it out by himself. One by one, they will automatically come to his door, making him feel pain and happiness.
The Queen, Concubine Chen, the Chan'er from Dai Quan's family, Wang Xifeng, Aunt Zhao, Tan Chun, and the elder sister-in-law Li Wan, they are really young and old.
These people didn't even think of provoking them, but by some strange combination of circumstances, they all came to their doorstep. It was really fate that played tricks on people.
······After an hour, the room gradually became quiet. Jia Cong didn't feel sleepy at all, and looked at the beauty beside him contentedly.
Next to him, Li Wan was in a very complicated mood. His persistence for so many years had been exhausted in one day. However, he no longer had to hold on so hard in the future.
Today's me feels like I've been reborn, bidding farewell to my past self. I didn't expect that I would actually take this step. Oh, what an injustice. I hope that my husband is alive in heaven and can forgive me.
You are doing this not only for yourself, but also for Lan'er, right? From now on, with Jia Cong taking care of her, Lan'er will not worry about wealth, and she will feel more at ease.
In any case, Lan'er is the only one for him. For his future, it doesn't matter if he sacrifices something.
Seeing Jia Cong looking over, he also looked at Jia Cong. The two just looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and silence was better than sound at this time.
After another half an hour, Jia Cong left Daoxiang Village and returned to Ningguo Mansion. ······The matter with Li Wan was just a small episode.
Both of them were relatively restrained and cautious when meeting each other. They usually chose to meet in the evening. With Suyun helping to cover, they did not attract the attention of others.
However, Jia Cong still rarely comes to Li Wan's place. Generally, he will not come unless she is looking for him.
For no other reason than that he was afraid that frequent visits to Daoxiang Village would arouse others' suspicion. After all, there was a lot of trouble at the widow's door.
It was different at Tanchun's place. After all, the two of them were cousins on the surface, so no one would be too worried if they went to her place every day.
Of course, Jia Cong couldn't go every day. There were Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, and Miaoyu who needed to be comforted and accompanied by him.
And the women in Ningguo Mansion also need to take time to accompany them. In addition to getting up early every day to practice martial arts, pay attention to his own business, and understand the research and development process of various technologies on Zhuangzi, most of the rest of the time is spent accompanying the girls.
Occasionally, Wang Xifeng would catch a strong man and help her with some physical work until she was satisfied. He would also take time to go to Dai Quan's house to see Chan'er and his unborn child, and talk to her mother and daughter.
Time passed like this day by day, and it was October in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually became colder.
The Grand View Garden is all yellow and depressed, with only some evergreen trees still showing green on their branches.
There are also many fewer places for the sisters to play. In addition to the monthly poetry club, in Li Wan's Daoxiang Village, they usually either talk to the old lady in her room, or go to Jia Cong's yard in Ningguo Mansion to laugh and play together. By the way, enjoy the autumn breeze.
After all, the food here in Jia Cong is the best, and there are often all kinds of rare ingredients sent from below, including delicacies from the mountains and game, fish and shrimps from the sea, etc.
In addition, he is not stingy, and everyone is not an outsider, so they are happy to come and make trouble with him. Sometimes at the end of the month, everyone would help the house calculate the accounts, which was a way of getting acquainted with housekeeping in advance.
On this day, everyone was chatting together. There were nearly twenty people in the room, laughing and cursing. It was very lively.
Next door, Jia Mu's office in Rongguo Mansion also received a wave of unexpected guests. It turns out that Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law brought their daughter Xiuyan to Beijing to join Mrs. Xing.
But Sister Qiaofeng's brother Wang Ren was also coming to Beijing, and the two parents' families came to help. When they were halfway to mooring the boat, they met Li Wanzhi's widowed aunt, who was also going to Beijing with her two daughters. The elder was named Li Wen and the younger was named Li Qi.
It seemed to everyone that they were relatives, so the three families walked together. Later, Xue Pan's cousin Xue Pan, because when his father was in Beijing, he had already betrothed his sister Xue Baoqin to the son of Mei Hanlin in the capital. He was about to go to Beijing to get married. When he heard that Wang Ren was coming to Beijing, he also brought his sister with him. Come.
So, we gathered together today to visit everyone’s relatives. Mother Jia is the ancestor of the Jia family. When these people come, they naturally have to come to pay homage first.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Jia Mu was very happy and said with a smile: "It's strange that the lanterns burst and burst and knotted again last night. It turned out that it was supposed to be today." While talking about the daily routine, she looked at the gifts she had brought. Life is about wine and food.
Needless to say, Sister Feng was busy and organized. She was very happy that her brother was here.
Jia Mu then said: "Go and call the sisters here, let's meet each other. If Brother Cong is willing to come, come and meet them too."
"I understand, old lady, I'll call someone right now." Hu Bo agreed and went to Ning Guo Mansion in person.
Arriving at Jia Cong's courtyard, everyone quickly welcomed her in. Looking at Jia Cong, who was surrounded by beautiful women in the center of the room, he couldn't help but show a trace of envy on his face.
"My lord, ladies and gentlemen, there are many relatives at home, many girls and grandmothers. The old lady asked you to go meet them." Jia Cong smiled and said: "Where are the relatives? You should make it clear, so that everyone can feel good about it." Most of them are not." Hu Bo smiled and said: "As for me, my aunt and two younger sisters are here. Miss Xue's younger brother and younger sister are also here. My eldest wife's niece is also here. They are all here at the moment. It's in the old lady's house. Come and take a look. The eldest lady has a niece, Miss Bao has a younger sister, and the eldest grandmother's two younger sisters are like four onions in a handful. They are very juicy." Xue Baochai smiled. He said, "It should be our cousin Xue Biao and his sister Xue Baoqin who are here. I wonder if my mother knows about it?" Hu Bo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Bao, we have already sent someone to notify my aunt." Li Wan He also smiled and said: "Is it possible that our aunt came to Beijing again? How come they are together? This is a strange thing." Jia Cong's heart moved, it turned out that these people were here. That Mrs. Xing's niece must be Xing Xiuyan. Xue Baoqin is said to be even better than Xue Baochai, so he wants to meet him.
These people, including Li Wen and Li Qi, will probably live in the garden, which is becoming more lively now.
Jia Cong said: "Let's go. Since the old lady asked Hu Hu to call us, let's go and meet. Maybe we will meet often in the future." Lin Daiyu said: "Brother Cong, you mean they will also stay temporarily. Here?" Xue Baochai said: "My two younger brothers and sisters will definitely live at home." Jia Cong said: "It should be about the same. Just go and have a look and you will know." As everyone talked, they walked through the Grand View Garden. Then he came to Jia Mu's room.
After everyone had exchanged greetings, they started talking to each other. Li Wan, her aunt, and two younger sisters started talking together.
Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai also took Xue Baoqin to greet her, whispering about their parting feelings.
After Jia Cong met everyone, he did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Instead, he accompanied Lin Daiyu, Xichun and others sat aside and watched them recognize their relatives.
Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin said a few words and then pulled Jia Cong over.
"Brother Cong, look at how good-looking my sister is." Jia Cong twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled: "Sister Qin is indeed good-looking. Even I, who is used to seeing beauties, think she is good-looking, and Sister Bao Just as good-looking." In terms of appearance alone, this Xue Baoqin is indeed slightly better than Xue Baochai, but in terms of generosity and propriety, no one can compare to Sister Bao.
Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Even if you can talk, sister Qin is still prettier than me." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Girl Qin, this is your brother-in-law Cong brother, who is also the current Ning Guogong." Xue Baoqin saluted. He said: "My little sister pays homage to my brother-in-law." Jia Cong said with a smile: "Sister Qin doesn't need to see anyone outside. We are all a family. If anything happens in the future, just come to me or your sister." Xue Baoqin said with a smile: "Thank you. Brother-in-law." After chatting with the Xue family's mother and daughter for a while, he looked elsewhere.
My cheap cousin Xing Xiuyan was standing next to Mrs. Xing at the moment. Although this woman comes from a poor family, she is elegant and steady, knowledgeable and courteous, intelligent and chaste, happy in poverty, neither humble nor arrogant, showing pride and pride, and is worthy of being half of Miaoyu's apprentice.
But in terms of character, he is much better than Miaoyu, maybe it's because of his family background. At the beginning, Mrs. Xing wanted to make this niece her daughter-in-law.
It was Jia She who disliked the decline of the Xing family and refused directly. Mother Jia was very happy today. She felt even better when she saw the four new girls, each one more energetic than the other.
She liked Xue Baoqin the most and refused to let her live in the garden. She just kept her in her room.
Li Wan's aunt and two cousins were also allowed to live in Li Wan's Daoxiang Village. Of course, she did not favor one over the other. She also ordered Mrs. Xing to arrange for Xing Xiuyan to stay in the garden.
Mrs. Xing handed over the matter to Sister Feng for arrangement. Sister Feng was thinking that there were many sisters in the garden with different temperaments, and it was inconvenient to set up another place. She was in a dilemma when she suddenly saw Jia Cong and called him over. The two discussed it and let Xing Xiuyan live in Yingchun. 's yard.
In this way, there were four more young girls, and the Grand View Garden became even more lively. Li Wan is the leader, and the remaining eleven people including Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Li Wen, Li Qi, Baoqin, Xingxiuyan, etc. are permanent residents, plus Xiangling, Dayu'er, Xiao Yuer, etc. People often go to the garden to play.
The popularity of the garden has become even more prosperous.
