Chapter 848: Gracefully Inclined for You

Lady Rongguo Prefecture, Inner Court, Second Gate.

Seeing Caiyun saw Jia Baoyu tragic a moment ago, and then happy in a blink of an eye, and felt a bit creepy.

Sister Sister Xi Ren always fools the Bao Er Ye like this. Although it saves the Bao Er Ye from making trouble again, if this trick is played too much, don't really turn the Bao Er Ye into a fool.

I don't even believe these words, yet the Bao Er Ye is so happy, which is truly creepy.

Sister Sister Xi Ren said that Cousin Cong's marriage cannot be decided even by the Old Matriarch, and it must be a royal decree in the future. This is not wrong.

But even if it is a royal decree, it won't be marrying a princess. It will mostly be an official's daughter. Didn't he reward the Third Miss of the Jin Ling Zhen family last time?

The Third Miss of the Zhen family is an official's daughter, and Miss Lin's father is a third-place scholar and an old official of the Yangzhou Salt Department. Isn't she an official's daughter?

Sister Sister Xi Ren can only fool the Bao Er Ye with these words, she can't even fool me. With the Bao Er Ye's muddled brain, he also wants to go to the Imperial Academy to study. Can he succeed...

However, Seeing Caiyun was down and out now, and had slept with Jia Baoyu for half a year, still keeping her virginity, just mixing day by day, and had no leisure to worry about these things.

……

Jia Baoyu was fooled by Sister Xi Ren, looked back at the inner court of the West Prefecture, still reluctant to part, and just saw Seeing Tan Chun and Shi Xiangyun coming over.

Jia Baoyu's eyes were hot, and he was deeply moved. The sisters still had him in their hearts after all.

Seeing Tan Chun saw Jia Baoyu return to his original state, no longer stupid and crazy, and felt relieved in her heart.

Although she now had resistance to Jia Baoyu's words and actions, Jia Baoyu was her brother of the same father, and the blood relationship could not be erased.

She only hoped that Jia Baoyu would wake up early, give her father more face, and not let the Second Branch be too unbearable in front of people.

Today Jia Baoyu moved to the East Courtyard. According to the Aunt's usual thoughts, she must be extremely uncomfortable, otherwise, she wouldn't even show her face.

Jia Baoyu's words collided with Second Sister just now, and she could only mediate between the two. In any case, someone sent him to the second gate, and the sisters could hold up their faces.

The First Branch and the Second Branch had become estranged, and she and her father were difficult to be people, so Seeing Tan Chun rushed over.

Shi Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu grew up together by Jia Mu's side. Seeing Seeing Tan Chun rush to the second gate, she felt it was not good to let her go alone, so she followed.

Seeing Tan Chun urged: "Second Brother, moving to the East Courtyard is not like the inner court of the West Prefecture. In daily life, have more rules and etiquette, so that the Master will be happy when he sees it.

Some private words, just chat with Sister Xi Ren, don't say them outside easily, so as not to let others spread the word and cause trouble.

Although we won't see each other often in the future, it will be the same good after the Second Brother gets married, being harmonious with his wife and filial to his parents."

Jia Baoyu originally saw Seeing Tan Chun send him to the second gate and was happy, wanting to say some intimate words.

Didn't expect Seeing Tan Chun to say trivial things, etiquette and rules, marriage and family, which sounded very disgusting and boring.

Seeing Jia Baoyu's dull expression, Seeing Tan Chun knew that Jia Baoyu didn't like these words, so she did her best and didn't say anything more.

……

Shi Shi Xiangyun saw Seeing Tan Chun's advice, all of which were very useful principles, but looking at Jia Baoyu's expression, it didn't seem to be in his heart.

She couldn't help but say: "Second Brother, you will enter the Imperial Academy after the New Year. Moving back to the East Courtyard now is convenient for you to concentrate on your studies.

We sisters grew up together. I know Second Brother is talented and a smart person.

Although it is extremely difficult to pass the imperial examination, with Second Brother's talent, I think it is possible to study and pass the provincial examination.

As long as Second Brother can do it, we sisters will have face, and your life's career will have an explanation, and the Second Branch can also stand up because of Second Brother.

Everything that the Bao Er Ye felt was bad in the past will be covered up, and it won't be in vain that we sisters grew up together."

……

Seeing Tan Chun had already seen through Jia Baoyu's heart, knowing that he ultimately disdained poetry and imperial examinations, so she wouldn't persuade him to study, so as not to make everyone uncomfortable.

If it reached Lady Wang's ears, she would mostly not think it was good intentions, but rather think it was mocking Jia Baoyu, wanting to make him angry and sick, so she wouldn't be a villain in vain.

So her words were measured, only hoping that Jia Baoyu would wake up more, be less absurd, and live a stable life.

Shi Shi Xiangyun was different from Seeing Tan Chun. She was always straightforward, only saying what she wanted to say most, without Seeing Tan Chun's scruples.

Coupled with her sharp teeth and smooth tongue, in a short while, she finished all her words, just as if she were burning incense and fulfilling a vow in a temple.

Jia Baoyu listened to Seeing Tan Chun's words just now, and although he felt it was not intimate, it was still good intentions, so he listened patiently.

Now Shi Xiangyun's words were not only not intimate, but truly stinging, and his face couldn't hold it.

Sister Xi Ren had been listening on the side, seeing Shi Shi Xiangyun's quick words, Jia Baoyu's face was ugly, the corners of his mouth twitching, and she couldn't help but want to speak.

She knew clearly that Shi Shi Xiangyun was different from other sisters. Although they were close to the Bao Er Ye when they were young, they often quarreled and bickered if they were not satisfied.

It was fine in the past, but today, on the day of the Bao Er Ye's move, he was already unhappy with the Second Sister, and now he was quarreling with the Yun Sister. How would they meet in the future?

She hurriedly stepped forward to mediate: "The sisters' words are all very reasonable. The Bao Er Ye should remember them well. It's getting late now.

I'm worried that the Bao Er Ye will miss the auspicious time to move in, so the Third Miss and Yun Miss should send him here. After the Bao Er Ye is settled, I will invite the sisters to come and visit."

Seeing Tan Chun saw Jia Baoyu's expression and naturally understood Sister Xi Ren's meaning, saying: "Sister Sister Xi Ren is right. Hurry up and get in the carriage, don't really delay it."

Jia Baoyu's face turned red, wanting to speak but not daring to, and was pulled into the carriage by Sister Xi Ren. The coachman waved his whip, and the carriage headed toward the corner gate.

……

Seeing Tan Chun watched the carriage go away and sighed slightly, saying: "Yun Sister, you are not unaware of Jia Baoyu's temperament.

He may not listen to words about studying and making progress, and you are just wasting your efforts."

Shi Shi Xiangyun said: "After all, we grew up together. Second Brother is about to get married, yet he is still so muddled and absurd, and feels he is right.

I really can't stand him like this. Even if I know he doesn't like to listen, I feel uncomfortable if I don't say it. I feel clean after saying it.

As for whether Second Brother can listen, that is his own business. It is enough that we have done our best.

The Second Branch has moved to the East Courtyard. After a few years, the Bao Er Ye and Aunt will be old. If Second Brother is still like this, I am afraid it will be even more difficult in the future."

Although Shi Xiangyun had a bold temperament and was careless in her words and deeds, she was born in a noble family and naturally knew the changes in the great mansion very well.

Seeing Tan Chun was shrewd, and although Shi Xiangyun didn't finish her words, she understood the meaning.

Now Third Brother had inherited the noble title, and the First Branch managed the Lady Rongguo family business. Although the Second Branch hadn't separated yet, it was a matter of time.

Because of the feelings between the Master and Third Brother, it might be dragged on for a few years, but it was ultimately this ending.

Jia Baoyu was unwilling to study and had no ability to make a living. If he separated the family and set up a household, losing the protection of the main mansion, I am afraid he would be nothing...

It was just that Seeing Tan Chun was a young lady in the boudoir, and even if she worried about these things, it was useless.

……

Shi Shi Xiangyun said: "Third Sister, don't talk about these uncomfortable things. Let's go back and chat with the Old Matriarch, and then return to the Ningguo Prefecture.

Let's find some fun ourselves. After Lin Jiejie finishes entertaining the outside guests, the sisters will roast fire and chat. I have a game of chess with Xing Xiuyan that I haven't finished yet.

Third Brother said he would invite a theater troupe for the New Year. I remember it well, so I must make Third Brother keep his word."

Seeing Tan Chun heard these words and let go of her thoughts, the two sisters holding hands and returning to the inner court.

Just as they walked near Rongqing Hall, they saw Lin Lin Zhixiao's wife coming toward them, followed by two maids, holding two gift boxes in their hands.

Seeing Tan Chun saw that the gift boxes were painted with gold and silver, gorgeous and noble, unlike ordinary things, and Lin Lin Zhixiao's wife was also holding a bright red mud-gold visiting card.

She asked: "Mother Lin, whose visiting gift is this? It looks a bit extraordinary. Is it also an old relative of the prefecture?"

Lin Lin Zhixiao's wife smiled: "Third Miss has a good eye to see that the gift boxes are extraordinary. This is not an old relative, but a visiting gift sent by Prince Zhao."

Seeing Tan Chun was shocked in her heart. The West Prefecture had never had any friendship with Prince Zhao, so why did he suddenly send a festival gift? This face was not small.

Shi Shi Xiangyun looked around the gift boxes and smiled: "No wonder the gift boxes are so noble. It turns out to be something from the palace. I haven't seen it before."

Lin Lin Zhixiao's wife smiled: "The prefecture had no dealings with Prince Zhao before. This year, not only did he send gifts to pay a visit, but he also invited our Cong Sanye to the Prince's Prefecture for a banquet.

Cong Sanye is still so young, and his face is truly formidable. This Prince Zhao is a noble person, and outsiders all say he will be the Son of Heaven in the future..."

Hearing this, Seeing Tan Chun's face changed. She looked at the maid holding the gift and frowned: "Mother, you can't talk nonsense. You will commit a great taboo!"

Lin Lin Zhixiao's wife saw Seeing Tan Chun's pretty face sink, and her heart jumped. She knew Seeing Tan Chun was favored by Jia Cong and was a young lady with vision.

She was usually very kind to her subordinates, but now she made a face and spoke, so her words must have been inappropriate.

She hurriedly apologized: "It was all my loose tongue. An old woman who doesn't know a big character has no vision. I heard crooked words outside and was talking nonsense."

Seeing Tan Chun took the visiting card. The bright red card was printed with dark patterns of a four-clawed golden dragon, with an imposing manner. This was the unique mark of a legitimate royal title.

At the fold of the visiting card, the jade buckle was connected and fitted, emitting a musk orchid fragrance, and the production was very exquisite. ===== CHAPTER 849 =====

Seeing Tan Chun took the calling card; the bright red surface was printed with dark patterns of a four-clawed golden dragon, imposing and dignified—this was the unique mark of a direct-line prince.

At the fold of the calling card, jade buckles were linked and fitted, emitting a faint scent of musk and orchid; it was crafted very exquisitely.
