Chapter 172 Oh, the bad third brother
Several people were talking in a random manner, but it was obvious that they had different thoughts. However, even though they were talking about such irrelevant gossip, they were very interested!
It was not until Zijuan behind Daiyu and Ying'er behind Baochai could not help coughing that Daiyu blushed and said, "It's getting late, Third Brother, go to bed early!"
Jia Cong nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to my second sister's courtyard!"
Then, the three of them walked out of Ningzheng Hall and walked side by side towards Yingchun Courtyard.
There was a maid holding a lantern leading the way in front. Although they had just entered the mansion, it was obviously not difficult for these maids and eunuchs to remember the residences of each master.
Ying'er, Zijuan and Qingwen who followed them fell behind the three!
They moved forward slowly and leisurely, but they did not feel bored or annoyed . It was just that the slightly strange atmosphere made their heartbeats a little faster.
Suddenly, the steps of Baochai and Daiyu on both sides became disordered at the same time!
"This enemy, holding hands in front of so many people! But what's going on in his heart, he is so happy?"
"Oh, third brother is holding my hand? How can third brother be so bad!" While thinking, she unknowingly hooked her green jade fingers around Jia Cong's fingers, her face already flushed with shame.
Zijuan at the back wanted to scream, but her eyes and mouth were covered by two hands at the same time! She wanted to tell the two little sisters beside her, "If you want to cover yourself, just cover yourself. I want to see it too, okay?"
Just like that, Baochai and Daiyu looked straight ahead, their whole bodies slightly stiff, and almost slowly moved to the door of Yingchun's courtyard. Only then did they feel the funny hand loosen.
Stopping his steps, Jia Cong looked at Baochai and Daiyu and said softly, "This time, I thought I really couldn't come back! At that time, I had an idea that if I could come back alive to see you, I would never miss you or regret it! Fortunately, after being in a coma for six or seven days, I finally got my life back from the Hades. It's really good to be able to see you! Compared to this, I don't care about the so-called Champion Marquis!"
Baochai was moved, and Daiyu's eyes were filled with tears! At this moment, they could clearly feel Jia Cong's friendship for them!
Just as Baochai was about to speak, a voice came from inside the door, "Is it Miss Bao and Miss Lin who are back?"
Jia Cong smiled and said, "Sister Bao, Sister Lin, you should go back and have a rest. I will go back too! By the way, Sister Bao and Sister Lin will go to Ningzheng Hall with you sisters early tomorrow morning. His Majesty and the Queen have given us many gifts. You can help pick some to give to you brothers and sisters."
The two of them agreed subconsciously, but when Jia Cong's figure disappeared, they realized that they had gone to Ningzhengtang to help pick things to give to the sisters . What did he think of them?
"Tsk, this evil/evil third brother!"
“Crunch!”
The courtyard door opened and Si Qi poked her head out, "Why don't you two girls come in? Our girl is waiting!"
"Oh, Third Brother is here to see us off. We will watch him go back!" After saying that, the group of people entered the yard!
After arriving at the hall , Yingchun asked with a smile, "I have already tidied up the rooms on both sides. Do you want to talk for a while before going to bed, or just rest now?"
"We've been busy for so long today, and just now we drank with some sisters-in-law and sisters, so let's go to bed early! Anyway, we'll be staying in the East Palace for a few days, so it won't be too late to talk tomorrow!"
"Okay, then just take a rest!"
Afterwards, Yingchun sent Baochai and Daiyu to the east and west wing rooms respectively, and then returned to her own room to rest.
In the west wing, Daiyu entered the room and threw herself directly onto the bed. Thinking about how her third brother had just held her hand, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"Girl, I just saw you and Master San..."
"Don't say it!" Daiyu turned her head and said, then buried herself in the quilt again. At this moment, in fact, even she herself couldn't tell what she was feeling.
Anxiety? Angry? Happy? Uneasy? Jia Cong didn't give her any time to prepare, and rushed in recklessly.
"Miss, I think the Third Master is the best, even better than the Second Master Bao!" Zijuan said, "Second Master Bao is also close to you, but he is irresponsible. As a servant, I shouldn't say anything bad about my master, but since it concerns you, I'll say a few more words."
"Even a servant knows that the Third Master is the head of the family now. He is a world apart from Second Master Bao. Second Master Bao and Third Master are the same age, but what can he rely on now? Although the Old Lady and Second Madam dote on him, it can't last forever. Third Master has not been favored since he was young, but he has worked hard to achieve all his merits. Now he is a first-class marquis. I'm afraid it is not impossible for him to be made a duke in the future."
"Besides, I can also see that the Third Master treats the young lady differently."
"How is it different?" Daiyu smiled, but she raised her lips and scolded softly, "Third brother treats Bao-sister differently."
"How can it be the same?" Zijuan also lay down beside Daiyu, "At the beginning, the Third Master and the young lady were not very familiar with each other, but for the safety of the old master, he sent a guard from afar. If it wasn't for the young lady, why would he go to such great lengths?"
"Every time I give gifts to the girls, the girl's gifts are different from those of the Second Girl and the others, and even different from those of Miss Yun. Obviously, in the Third Master's heart, the girl is different!"
"But, precious girl..." Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly...
"Miss, why can't you understand? Now the Third Master is a concubine, but he can marry two wives. Can you still take up two positions? In my opinion, you'd better hurry up. What kind of ? If you don't want to, how many lovers will cling to him?"
"Hmph, I don't care who bothers him. What does it have to do with me? Go to sleep quickly and stop talking!"
"Okay, okay, don't say anything. Go to sleep quickly. Tomorrow, Miss Da and Miss Bao have to go to the Third Master early to pick some gifts for the other girls!"
Daiyu blushed and got up. "You shameless little bitch, if I don't tear your mouth today, I won't be able to live..."
…
In the east wing, Baochai sat on the couch in a trance. Ying'er beside her helped Baochai wipe it, then said hesitantly, "Miss, just now I saw the Third Master holding your and Miss Lin's hands!"
"Third Master and Miss Lin..."
"Sister Lin's family is a family of scholars and poets. Now that Brother Cong has been conferred the title of nobility, they are a perfect match!" Baochai said calmly, "It is my luck to have a place by Brother Cong's side. Besides, how can I have Cong all to myself? Could it be that your daughter is a jealous woman?"
"Miss, even though you have two wives, there is a difference between one wife and another!" Ying'er said in a low voice.
"How dare you talk nonsense, little girl? Don't neglect Miss Lin in the future, or I won't forgive you!"
