Chapter 368 What Tanchun Wants

Hearing the resentment and depression in Tanchun's words, Jia Wei did not respond for a moment, but turned his head and looked away.

"Everything in this room is good, except this wooden screen, which is a bit tacky. I have a marble screen with a rosewood frame in my house. If you don't mind, I'll have someone send it to you tomorrow."

After hearing this, Tanchun and Yingchun both looked at Jia Wei, their bright eyes seemed about to shed tears.

Both girls were smart and could certainly understand the deeper meaning of Jia Wei's words.

If Jia Wei took the initiative to invite them to live in the Marquis's mansion after Tanchun complained, those would just be polite words and should not be taken seriously.

However, the act of giving the screen as a gift clearly shows his attitude.

"Thank you, second brother, but although this screen is a bit tacky, I'm used to it." Yingchun smiled softly and declined.

Jia Wei wanted to give her a screen, and of course she was happy, but the screen with a rosewood frame and marble was too expensive.

Rosewood is the royal wood used in the palace and is very rare. Screens made from rosewood are even more luxurious.

There was a rosewood screen in Lady Jia's courtyard, and it was a bit unreasonable for a concubine's maid to use it.

Jia Wei waved his hands: "I have already said it, how can I take it back? Tomorrow I will ask your maid to come, who is that..."

"Siqi!" Tanchun smiled.

"Yes, Siqi, ask her to come to the Marquis' Mansion to pick it up, and I'll have someone send it to you. If anyone asks, just tell the truth. I gave it to Second Sister. Who would dare to say anything gossipy?"

After hearing this, Yingchun could only stand up and bow to express her gratitude.

Jia Wei hurriedly lifted her arm and said, "Second sister, you are so polite. You are treating me as an outsider."

Yingchun quickly retracted her hand, lowered her head and blushed, and then she remembered the scene that day by the pond in the garden when Jia Wei held her up...

Tanchun, who was standing aside, was not so emotional, and just greeted Jia Wei. Soon, the food was served, and Siqi and Ping'er also came together.

Ping'er greeted Tanchun and Yingchun, then stood beside Jia Wei and poured wine for him. She looked a little sad and her eyes were dim, and it was obvious that she had not recovered yet.

Jia Wei forced Ping Er to sit down. Although she was a servant, she had a high status when she was in Wang Xifeng's courtyard. Now she was Jia Wei's maid, so Tanchun and Yingchun would certainly have no objection.

Jia Wei put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "Are you still angry with me?"

Ping'er bit her lip and thought of the ridiculous things Jia Wei did last night, and she was silent for a while.

Facing the gazes of Tanchun and Yingchun, Jia Wei said with a smile, "I scolded her a few words at Lian's second sister-in-law's place last night, and she still holds a grudge."

Jia Wei could joke around, but Ping Er, a maid, didn't dare to do anything rash. She quickly said, "I don't dare!"

Tanchun smiled and raised her glass, saying, "Brother Wei is honored to have visited my humble home today. I would like to offer you a toast."

At that moment, Jia Wei, Ping'er and Yingchun raised their glasses and drank together.

After a banquet, Ping'er was able to sit at the table, but the two maids, Siqi and Shishu, had to serve by the side, running around.

The secretary was down-to-earth and did not thank him much. After all, there was a hierarchy between master and servant, and that was the rule.

But Siqi thought that it was her natural duty to serve masters like Yingchun and Jia Wei.

But Ping'er was a maid just like them, but now Ping'er could sit next to Jia Wei, eat and drink, and be served by her. As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality. Siqi could not help but feel indignant.

And seeing Ping'er wearing a brand new Su brocade dress, all silk and satin, with gold and silver ornaments, and with a beautiful face, she couldn't help but wonder, are all the maids around Jia Wei so respectable?
After three rounds of drinking, Tanchun and Yingchun were both a little tipsy, with red cheeks.

Tanchun also took advantage of the alcohol and said, "Second brother, I have a favor to ask of you."

Jia Wei smiled and said, "Third sister, just tell me, don't mention just one thing, I will promise you no matter how many you ask!"

Tanchun is just a little girl in the boudoir, what big deal could she have? Jia Wei certainly dared to take the responsibility. "I heard that you met Huan'er and Lan'er at your house yesterday..."

When Jia Wei heard this, he knew what Tanchun wanted.

It was just because he heard that he was going to send Jia Lan to study outside, so he came up with the idea of ​​sending Jia Huan in as well.

This is the reason why we invited this host.

Although Tanchun is closer to Lady Wang and Baoyu on weekdays, it is also for the sake of making her own situation better. She and Jia Huan are biological siblings from the same mother, so of course she will consider him.

Tanchun was still unmarried, so it was not convenient for her to go to the Marquis's residence alone to find Jia Wei and explain the matter to him. She could only ask Yingchun for help, and the two of them invited him to dinner together, so that they could tell him the matter over the dinner table.

"Yes, Brother Lang is steady and polite, just like Master Zheng. Brother Huan is also very smart and polite."

Jia Wei wanted to seduce Tanchun, but of course he couldn't say in front of his sister that her brother was vulgar and frivolous.

Ping'er looked strange for a moment after hearing this. Everyone in the Rong Mansion knew what kind of person Jia Wei was.

Tanchun blushed a little: "I heard that Second Brother Wei likes Lan'er very much and wants to send him to Wenjing Academy to study..."

Tanchun was speechless for a moment. Jia Wei cultivated Jia Lan because he was a promising student.

As a sister, she doesn't even understand her brother? How can Jia Huan be a good student? This is just asking for trouble.

Jia Wei smiled when he saw this. He originally sent Jia Lan away in order to find an opportunity to seduce Li Wan, but he never expected that Tanchun would come to him on her own initiative.

If Jia Huan also went out to study, Aunt Zhao would not be able to come to Jia Wei in person if she had any problems, so she could only let Tanchun come...

Tanchun was too embarrassed to say it, so Jia Wei made it clear: "Third sister, do you want to send Huan'er to the academy to study as well?"

Tanchun blushed a little, nodded and said, "Huan'er is always so unruly. I am worried when I see her. This is embarrassing for Second Brother Wei..."

There are some things that Tanchun finds hard to say, but everyone knows them.

Although Baoyu is also a waste, he is loved by the old lady after all. Mrs. Wang controls the Rong Mansion, so Baoyu's wealth and prosperity will be inevitable in the future.

After all, Jia Huan was born to an aunt and was a bastard. It was normal for him to be driven out to live alone when he grew up. At most, he would be given a yard and some rice from the clan every year.

Tanchun is far-sighted and of course anxious.

"Since Third Sister has spoken, what's the big deal?" Jia Wei smiled, "Let Huan'er and Lang'er go to the academy together, and all the expenses will be paid by the clan."

Tanchun was overjoyed and quickly stood up to greet Jia Wei.

"Thank you, Second Brother, but of course, Huan'er's expenses will be paid by me and my aunt."

Jia Wei stood up and helped Tanchun up: "Third sister, you are being so formal again. Huan'er and Lang'er both have the same surname, Jia. As the head of the clan, how can I favor one over the other?"

When Jia Wei touched Tanchun's hand and their skins touched, she quickly pulled her hand back. Her heart was beating fast, but she just thought that Jia Wei was being careless.

"I will go and ask my wife to let Huan'er go out to study tomorrow."

Jia Wei chuckled and shook his head slightly, saying, "Then Third Sister has taken the wrong path. I'm afraid Second Madam will not let Huan'er leave the house."

　Today, the editor asked me to revise my work again.

　　If there are readers who don't like what they read, they can just not read it. Why report it? It's a waste of time to revise it.

　　I really don't understand this operation. Now it's on the shelves. You know what kind of book it is and what it's about, but you still want to read it, and you paid to read it. And you report it after reading it...
