Chapter 129 Daiyu's Little Thoughts
Without waiting for anyone else's instructions, Jia Zheng anxiously asked someone to call the servant to get a rope and a stick.
However, Jia Cong no longer had the heart to continue watching the show, and said directly to Jia's mother, "Old lady, the East Palace is busy, I will go over and keep an eye on it first."
"Oh, you've been through a lot these days!" said Grandmother Jia with some heartache.
"You should hurry over. If no one comes to pay their respects, let others watch over you. You should take a rest!"
Jia Cong agreed and then left the hall.
As soon as Jia Cong left the house , Baochai stood up, found an excuse and went out as well. When the other sisters saw her, they all followed her out like a swarm of beehives.
"Cong'er!"
Jia Cong had just passed the hall when he heard a soft call from behind him!
Looking back, I saw Baochai walking towards me quickly.
"Sister Bao!"
"Cong'er, why have you become so thin!" Baochai burst into tears out of heartache!
He took the handkerchief from Baochai's hand and wiped it for her. "Don't worry, Sister Bao, your Cong'er is very strong! Besides, he will be free after today. Although he still needs to be watched, he won't be so tired. Speaking of which, I haven't apologized to Sister Bao yet. I didn't make it to the birth party that day..."
"Cong'er, you know, I don't care! I just want you to be fine..."
"Girl, the other girls are here!" Ying'er, who was standing aside, saw the other girls coming and hurriedly spoke.
Baochai reluctantly took a step back and separated herself from Jia Cong. Then she half-covered her eyes with her handkerchief, but her beautiful eyes were still fixed on Jia Cong.
"Third brother..."
Xiangyun rushed over first, but Yingchun stepped forward, tears in her eyes and said, "Cong'er, you are in the East Palace and it is inconvenient for us to go over. You have to take care of yourself."
"Third brother, if there are no useful people over there, just bring a few from the West Mansion to help." Tanchun also spoke up.
Jia Cong smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, there are my eldest sister-in-law and Rong's daughter-in-law to take care of us, and my second sister-in-law to help with the housework, so we won't be short of food, clothing and other necessities."
"Third brother, this is the sachet I embroidered. It contains mint and other things that are very refreshing! Third brother, if you wear it, it can also relieve some fatigue..."
Daiyu glanced at Baochai secretly, then took off the sachet from her waist and handed it to Jia Cong.
Xiangyun watched with eyes wide open, feeling extremely excited. This was exactly the same as what was written in the picture book, okay? Should Sister Bao take the initiative to step forward and hold Third Brother's arm?
Unfortunately, the scene Xiangyun expected did not appear...
"And you don't have to worry about Qingwen, Xiaoque'er, Xiangling, and the others! I ask Zijuan to call them to my room every day to read books and learn characters with me. Xiangling is very interested in poetry and has memorized several poems. She said she wanted to read them to you, brother."
Xiangyun was just about to applaud Daiyu! What is this called? Cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron, directly stealing the house, or coming from behind and winning?
Jia Cong took the sachet and said, "Thank you for troubling Sister Lin! It has been inconvenient these days. When I am done with my work, I will treat all the sisters to a drink."
"Sister Bao, please give my regards to my aunt. It is not convenient to visit her these days. In addition, the matter mentioned before has basically been concluded. The various mansions have agreed. I have asked people to buy several manors outside the city and have started preparations. In a few days, when there is a suitable opportunity, I will invite people from various mansions to come and discuss, and I will inform Brother Xue in advance!"
Baochai nodded, "Cong... Brother Cong should take care of himself first, and other things can be dealt with later."
Jia Cong nodded, and then said to the others, "Sister Lin, Sister Yun, Second Sister, Third Sister, I can't stay for long, so I'll go to the East Mansion first. If you need anything, just send someone to find me!"
After saying this, Jia Cong strode away.
It was not until Jia Cong's figure disappeared that the women came to their senses.
Tanchun sighed and said, "Fortunately, I have my third brother to support me at home, otherwise..."
The girls heard this, isn't it? Not to mention that all the affairs of the East Palace were almost handled by Jia Cong alone, and Baoyu not only couldn't help, but also made such a mess, and still needed Jia Cong to help solve it. The comparison between the two is simply a world of difference.
"Sister Bao, what was Third Brother talking about? Why don't we know anything about it? Is there any secret between Sister Bao and Third Brother?" Xiangyun, the little troublemaker, is online again.
Baochai smiled and said, "There is no secret at all. It's just a business deal. Brother Cong is just helping the Xue family! Because there are many mansions involved, it was not convenient to spread it before. Now that it has been decided, it's fine."
"That's not right. Your family also has a share in this matter, but Sister Yun doesn't know about it? Brother Cong said that any family can be left out except the Shi family. Otherwise, how can we prepare a generous dowry for Sister Yun in a few years?"
Xiangyun blushed when she heard this, "Precious girl, I'm going to fight you today!"
Suddenly, the sisters started fighting.
Baochai was naturally aware of Daiyu's little thoughts. It would be a lie to say that she was not jealous at all, but she could not be said to hate Daiyu either.
Last time she mentioned to Jia Cong that she was willing to be a concubine, in fact, she wanted Daiyu to be his wife! Although Daiyu was a little bit temperamental, she was not bad, and she was confident enough to handle the relationship well. And Daiyu had a father like Lin Ruhai, the daughter of a high-ranking official in the court and the daughter of the Lin family!
This kind of identity is most suitable for Jia Cong!
What's more, even if there is one more Daiyu now, she can serve as a supporting role. In terms of knowledge and appearance, she is no less than Daiyu. She has enough confidence to become the unique Sister Bao in Jia Cong's heart.
From a certain perspective, if Daiyu and Jia Cong could really succeed, it would invisibly reduce the resistance between her and Jia Cong. Therefore, she would almost be happy to see it happen.
And the most important thing is that she understands Jia Cong's heart and believes that Jia Cong's feelings for her are real.
After Jia Cong returned to the East Palace, he was busy again with welcoming and seeing off guests. Finally, when the sun set, the yard became much quieter.
"Meet the Third Master!"
"Madam knows that Third Master has been very tired these days, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some side dishes. She wanted to ask Third Master if he has time to come over!"
"Have you invited anyone else?" Jia Cong asked Yin Die.
"We also invited the eldest grandmother and the second grandmother from the West Mansion!"
Jia Cong thought for a moment, then said, "Go tell your sister-in-law, I'll be there later..."
After Yin Die left, Jia Cong asked the servant to prepare hot water, then went to the side hall to wash and change his clothes, and then went towards Youshi's courtyard.
When they arrived at You's courtyard, Wang Xifeng and Keqing had already arrived!
"Third Uncle is here!" Keqing stood up and went forward to help Jia Cong take off his cloak.
Wang Xifeng, who was standing by, raised her pretty face and laughed, "As expected, the treatment from the great uncle is different. A poor man like me is not worthy of such care from my niece-in-law."
