The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 28 Beloved
Daiyu knew in her heart that Zijuan's persuasion was for her own good.

Zijuan is a sincere person. When she followed Daiyu, she thought of her wholeheartedly.

"What does his petty behavior have to do with me? You only care about him, but how can you care about my thoughts?" Daiyu held up the quilt and covered her face and eyes, "If you have the time, why don't you help me think about it?" Think about it, what kind of congratulatory gift should I give?"

"I can't guess what the girl is thinking. Speaking of gifts, I still have a lot of paper and pens that the girl brought from the south. If not, just give those!"

"You didn't listen to Mr. Bao. He also wants to give pen and paper. We should also give them whatever they give. It seems so insincere. You can give me the "Detailed Explanation of the Four Books" I brought!"

"Isn't that a book that the girl often reads? I sent it over, what did the girl read?"

"I don't have a career, and I don't want to take the exam to get the top prize. I'll do nothing with it, but it's just used to relieve boredom on weekdays."

In that book, there were some annotations written by her father. She held it in her hand every day. Where was she reading?
She was willing to take it out now because she thought that if her father knew that there was such a son and nephew who was willing to learn and make progress, he would be willing to support him, right?
In her mind, the stubborn, thin figure kneeling in the snow appeared again.

Jia Cong was studying in the room, wearing the black fox fur cloak on his body. Huaping forced him to put it on. He said that even though he was wearing cotton clothes and there were ground dragons in the room, he would still get chills after sitting for a long time. .

After all, this girl still thinks that this fur is good. Wearing it on the young master can bring out his independent demeanor.

"Is Sister Huaping at home?"

A clear and melodious voice came from the bright room, and Jia Cong didn't pay much attention when he heard the painting screen coming out. He didn't know who the maid in the house was. Why did she come to them?
After a while, Huaping came in, holding a set of Four Treasures of the Study in his hand. He was very surprised, "Third Master, don't you think it's strange? Over there, Second Master Bao actually had someone bring these to us, saying he was congratulating Third Master. Happy housewarming!"

Jia Cong didn't know what kind of card Baoyu was playing. Baoyu was only seven or eight years old at this time, only a few days older than him. There was no need to speculate on the character of a child. He said, "You can grab some copper coins and reward her. Thank you very much." Just take a trip and you’ll be fine.”

Huaping said, "You need to be reminded by Third Master? I've already thanked you, but I just don't understand why there are still people willing to come to us now."

Jia Cong was also confused and didn't know who made the suggestion, so Baoyu slapped him on the head.

Not long after, people came to the yard one after another. The servant in the Tanchun room, Si Qi in the Yingchun room, and Ru Hua in the Xichun room each gave Jia Cong gifts, which were thinner than those given by Baoyu. a little.

For Tanchun there was a pen, for Yingchun there was a knife of paper, and for Xichun there was a scroll with pine flowers and pink elephant eyes.

The painting screen liked it very much, and he held it up for Jia Cong to see, "This is from the fourth girl. I didn't expect that the maids in the fourth girl's house are so skillful with their hands. Compared to them, I am really stupid."

Jia Cong took the Luozi, but he didn't expect that Xichun at this time would have such a love for beauty.It can be seen that not everyone will have the heart to worship Buddha as soon as they fall on the ground. Those who want to escape into Buddhism must not find the way in the world of mortals.

"You're pretty nice too. The shoes you made fit my feet and are warm."

"Then let me make a few more pairs for Third Master. When spring comes next year, Third Master will have new shoes to wear."

"There's no need to be too anxious. There are still two or three months until spring."

"If Third Master goes to participate in the Flower Fair, what should he wear? This cloak is not suitable for wearing to the Flower Fair, right? It's a bit too eye-catching."

The most important thing is, how to wear clothes given by others and follow that person to a banquet?It's too embarrassing.

"I dress the same as I used to! When people invite me, it's not because of my outfit!" "That's right! Third Master is not a girl!" Huaping laughed out loud.

Just as he was talking, another voice came from outside Mingjian. Huaping hurriedly went out. After a while, he led a teenage maid in, holding a book in her hand.

She had a pair of buns on her head and a round face full of childishness. Wu Nong spoke softly and sounded softly.

"Mr. Cong, my girl asked me to send this to you. She said it was to congratulate Mr. Cong on his housewarming."

"Are you Xue Yan?" Jia Cong asked.

"Hey, how do Mr. Cong know me?" Xue Yan tilted her head, her big eyes flickering, she looked like a smart girl.

"Why can't I recognize your accent?"

Huaping looked at Xue Yan and smiled, as if he was laughing at Xue Yan's stupidity.

In this day and age, books are undoubtedly very expensive.

Although it is a book, it is more valued by Jia Cong than the set of four study treasures sent by Baoyu.

"Detailed Explanation of the Four Books", Jia Cong opened the book and saw the dense annotations inside. His hand was written in small regular script and he was as strong as a master. Warmth gradually came to his heart.

"Help me thank your girl, draw a screen, and treat Xue Yan to a cup of tea before leaving. It's freezing cold, so it's been a hard trip!"

Huaping made a sound, and took Xue Yan's hand to the bright room. He selected some of the refreshments that Jia Cong bought a few days ago and put them on the table, especially the box of bone-in abalones, because they were Jiangnan flavor. , Xueyan likes it especially.

After returning to Rongqing Hall, Xueyan talked about the courtesy she received from Jia Cong and said to Daiyu, "I don't know where the third master Cong bought the boned abalone from, and we from Yangzhou, It was of the same flavor, and I ate several pieces, thinking it would be great if I could bring some back to the girl."

This sentence aroused Daiyu's endless melancholy, and her heart suddenly drifted to Yangzhou, thousands of miles away. The mountains and waters there, the warm climate, and the diffuse clouds made her walk on a rainy day holding an umbrella. of comfort, her home, and her father.

Seeing the girl crying again, Xue Yan didn't know what he said that offended the girl, and he was at a loss what to do.

She called Sister Zijuan for help. After hearing what Xueyan said, Zijuan couldn't help but said, "I heard that the bone-in abalone is a bit more expensive, but it's not like we can't afford it. If the girl wants to, I can go and report it to the old man." Madam, go and send someone out to buy it. Why bother to be sad and shed tears?"

"What do you think I want to eat?" Daiyu turned away angrily and ignored Zicuckoo.

Jia Cong read the "Detailed Explanations of the Four Books". It turned out that Lin Ruhai had nothing to do and made a special trip to comment on it for his daughter.The more he looked at it, the more he admired this ex-criminal Tanhua. It was naturally extraordinary for the Three-Tripod Armor to be able to fight out from thousands of troops.

This book was so precious to Daiyu, but she gave it to herself. For a moment, Jia Cong's heart was filled with turmoil.
