Chapter 80: Water-soluble: This wave is not a loss
"Greetings to my brother-in-law."
Jia Huan looked slightly suspicious, but with Aunt Zhao's "encouragement", he took two steps forward and knelt on his knees.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but feel worried. All pairs of bright eyes looked at Tanchun.
Sitting in the hall, Jia Mu's face darkened. Jia Huan had met the prince with Jia Zheng Baoyu before. It was precisely because of this that Jia Mu didn't even greet Baoyu. What kind of identity was he? What to do up here.
However, because Shui Rong was present, it was difficult to get angry, so Jia Mu had to suppress her anger.
Shui Rong was quite stunned when he saw this situation. He knelt down and called his brother-in-law. This Jia Huan's sexy act was really touching.
If conditions permit, he still hopes to let Tanchun do it with his big and lively eyes.
Seeing that Tan Chun's jade face was slightly fair, Shui Rong also knew that the atmosphere was a bit cold, so he took out a golden body and handed it to him, saying warmly: "Brother Huan, there is no need to do this big gift, get up!"
After hearing this, Jia Huan stood up and took the golden nudity with a smile on his face, his eyes sparkling.
Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this. Although Jia Huan looked like a dog, his words and deeds were really difficult to evaluate. He could only say that his character was misled by Aunt Zhao, and he didn't show any dignity of a young master from aristocratic family. It was quite expressive. Different.
I thought the matter was over, but unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao in the corner started acting like a monster. She took a few steps forward with flattery, put her arm on Jia Huan's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Huan'er is the younger brother of the third girl. Their sister My brother has always been very affectionate."
Tanchun's face turned pale when he heard this, and he bit his lower lip tightly. His previously red lips, which were as red as rouge, seemed to have lost their color, and his body trembled slightly.
Aunt Zhao pointed out what her brother meant. She just wanted to see her being treated favorably by the prince. She wanted to show Jia Huan's face and hoped that the prince would take care of her.
Logically speaking, Aunt Zhao's idea is understandable, but she doesn't want to think that today is the eldest sister's first engagement ceremony. She is just a dowry attendant. Even if the prince wants to take care of him, he must take care of Baoyu first. It is so inappropriate and quite inappropriate. There is the intention of overshadowing the guests and taking over the host. This is not to cause trouble for the old lady, second wife, and eldest sister.
And Jia Huan glanced at the prince's money bag. He really couldn't get on the high platform. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have to give him a few words.
Jia Mu didn't look very good at this time, but she knew she couldn't lose her dignity in front of the prince, so she could only suppress her anger and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you go down first."
Such annoying things are out of sight and out of mind.
Shui Rong saw that Tanchun was about to bite his lips. He knew that the current situation was quite embarrassing for Tanchun. You said Aunt Zhao was the same, so you couldn't talk about Tanchun in private, you had to embarrass her in public.
In this era of etiquette and cannibalism, with such a mother-in-law who does not know etiquette, it must be said that it is not easy for Tanchun, a concubine, to get along in the house.
Now that it was confirmed that Tanchun was going to enter the palace, it was his own woman, and his own woman hurt herself. Naturally, Shui Rong couldn't turn a blind eye, so he said warmly: "The weirdo has a handsome face, and he is the younger brother of the third sister."
Shui Rong praised Jia Huan "against his will" and protected Hu Tanchun's dignity. Of course, it was not against his will. After all, Jia Huan's appearance was indeed good, but his character was something he couldn't compliment.
With that said, Shui Rong took out a few gold nuggets from his money bag and handed them over, saying with a smile: "Brother Huan, take them all!"
Jia Huan accepted it with a smile on his face, as if he had never seen the world before. Shui Rong did not comment on this, but he was just expressing his attitude.
Tan Chun felt relieved when he saw this, and there was a hint of emotion in his smart eyes. If Shui Rong changed his expression because of this, then she would become a joke today.
But who is our Aunt Zhao? She is ignorant and does not know herself. Seeing that Shui Xiong has a gentle attitude and is so generous with her actions, her eyes can't help but light up and she boasts with a smile: "Young Master, we three girls really have such a handsome brother. Blessing.”
When Jia Mu heard this, her face darkened, her old eyes were as sharp as knives, she called the prince a handsome brother, who is she? Not to mention Mrs. Wang, a real mother-in-law, who dare not speak lightly, she is the old lady of the country. Du Zhi is cautious and cautious. Where did she get this confidence? It seems that her heart is wandering and she is so coquettish and lawless.
Tanchun's face turned pale, and he knew in his heart how much taboo his own mother had committed. Looking at Jia Mu's expression again, he felt cruel and raised his handsome eyebrows and spat: "Who are you talking about, aunt? I am just a waiter." , If you are lucky, you are also the eldest sister. If my aunt drinks too much, she should just be quiet and rest her mind."
Shui Rong was silent when he heard the words. Originally, when he saw Jia Mu's expression on his face, he was thinking about harmony and Xi Ni, but who would have thought that Tan Chun would be the first to make trouble.
What she said clarified the priority between her and Yuanchun, and characterized Aunt Zhao's nonsense as eating too much. As long as Aunt Zhao stopped, she would not pursue it too much afterwards, and while preserving her own dignity, she would regain her dignity. Indirectly protect Aunt Zhao.
In the original work, Tan Chun was too indifferent to his biological mother, Aunt Zhao. Not only was his words cold and despicable, he even said: "I only know the master and the wife, and I don't care about others." This kind of severing of ties is extremely He was criticized for being ruthless and felt like a white-eyed wolf.
However, Shuirong did not feel this was the case. According to the etiquette of this era, the children of concubines had to call their mistress mother and be raised by her when necessary. They could only call their biological mother aunt, so Tanchun followed Baoyu and called him Wang. Madam "Mrs." firmly believes that calling one's biological mother "aunt" is in line with etiquette.
Secondly, the maids and servants look down on Aunt Zhao for her lack of humor, let alone Tanchun, who is known as the "Phoenix in the Madam's Nest". Who can be calm and composed in front of such a vulgar mother-in-law? It is precisely because of Tanchun's cold-heartedness that she has managed to survive under this feudal ethics. Those rich-eyed people will look down on Aunt Zhao because of her reputation.
If Tanchun was really ruthless, he would not interact with Aunt Zhao in private. If he really wanted to be submissive, he would be isolated with Aunt Zhao, Jia Huan, mother and son.
Tanchun's ruthlessness may be more due to his indifference to anger.
Looking at Tan Chunying, she raised her eyebrows and pointed her finger. She had the demeanor of a hero among her children. She was worthy of her nickname "Rose Flower", which was really thorny.
Well, the cute girl with thorny big eyes is very contrasting. If Tanchun raises her handsome eyebrows and scolds him... Well, this is not a Aunt Zhao saw Tan Chun stepping on her, she originally wanted to argue a few words, but when she saw Jia Mu's cannibalistic expression, she immediately choked on her words, smiled angrily, and pulled Jia Huan back to the corner.
She is ignorant, but she is not unable to see other people's faces clearly.
Seeing the cold atmosphere, Shui Rong thought for a moment and turned to Yuan Chun and said, "Yuan Chun, you are the eldest sister. Since the third sister likes calligraphy, I will give her some simple but not vulgar, straight but not clumsy calligraphy and painting and light things." .”
Yuanchun's starry eyes turned slightly when he heard this. The prince gave away the rare book and jade pendant as he said, but now he asked her to give away some small things, and also pointed out that she was the eldest sister. This was to ask her, the eldest sister, to take more care of her and take out the main gift. Mother's style? Thinking of this, Yuan Chun nodded and said, "I will take good care of my third sister."
Shui Rong gently nodded when he heard the words. Yuan Chun was a smart person, so he could naturally understand what he meant. With Yuan Chun's words, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, etc. would also give him face, and they would never blame Aunt Zhao for this. Tanchun's face.
Immediately, Shui Rong said to Tan Chun: "Third sister, Yuan Chun is your eldest sister. If you have any grievances in the future, your eldest sister will make the decision for you."
Tanchun's heart palpitated when he heard this. She was a concubine, so she had no status to speak of. Moreover, she had a mother who loved to gossip, which made her life even more difficult.
Because of this, she worked harder and more diligently than her legitimate daughter. She earned the status of a young lady in Rongguo Mansion through her own hard work. She also worked hard to win the love that Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang had for her.
Including this time of marrying a maid, Tanchun knew in her heart that if she was not welcomed, it would not be her turn.
At present, the prince is a considerate person, not only protecting her dignity, but also allowing herself to rely on something. For a moment, she, who has always been self-reliant, feels inexplicable.
In the original work, Tanchun once said: "As long as I am a man and can go out, I will leave early to establish a career. Then I will have my own reasons."
It can be seen from this that Tanchun is a self-reliant person, but no matter how self-reliant his daughter's family is, she still needs someone to rely on.
This does not mean relying on men or anything like that. It is not only dependence on life, but also spiritual dependence, psychological dependence, and even physical dependence.
At this time, Tanchun's big bright eyes looked at Shuirong. The girl's cheeks were slightly rosy, which was a heart-pounding feeling.
As the saying goes: "Eyes are the windows to the human soul." Tanchun already has big, bright eyes. Just looking at each other like this, Shui Rong can see the shining stars.
These big eyes are very charming.
Their eyes met, Tan Chunfang's heart trembled slightly, her jade cheeks were slightly drunk, she lowered her eyes and bowed, holding the jade pendant in her hand, and stepped back.
Jia's mother didn't say much when she saw this. She also loved Tanchun. Now she was following such a gentle young master like the prince. Although she was a concubine, she could still get ahead as a concubine.
Not long after, a little girl stepped forward.
Shui Rong looked at the little girl in front of him. She was wearing a lavender-collared long coat. The embroidery of magnolia flowers on the chest was beautiful and elegant.
Her facial features are exquisite, just like in a painting. Her petite face is pink and tender, and her skin is as delicate and white as goat milk curd. It is so crystal clear that people can't bear to look at it, for fear that their eyes will be set and her face will be pierced. Come to a hole.
Shui Rong's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. He was not tall enough and could be described as still small. This was Luo...
"Your Majesty, this is the fourth girl, Xichun, the cousin of the eldest girl."
"Hello, brother-in-law." Shui Rong gently chinned her head and looked at the petite Jia Xichun. She was very delicate, especially with the flower embroidery on her chest, which highlighted the painting and fit perfectly.
Jia Xichun is the daughter of Jia Jing and sister of Jia Zhen. She is of the noblest birth among the four sisters in the Jia family! However, a girl of this background is not welcomed in the Jia family. Her father Jia Jing is addicted to Taoism and alchemy and ignores him. ?
Grandma doesn't love her, and her uncle doesn't love her. She blames Jia Xichun for being withdrawn and indifferent, with a cold heart and a cold mouth.
I just remembered that Jia Jing was practicing Taoism outside and didn't know what kind of way he was practicing. He even managed to make a small cotton-padded jacket, which shows that he was not practicing the right way.
With a disdain in his heart, Shui Rong took out the golden nugget and said warmly: "Fourth sister, take it!"
"Thank you brother-in-law."
Xichun reached out to take it and returned to her seat with a smile.
Seeing this situation, Shui Rong understood in his heart that Jia Xichun was still young and had not yet become indifferent to worldly affairs and indifference to life.
Now I have taken a look at these ladies. Yuanchun is tall and plump, Yingchun is gentle and quiet, Tanchun is big-eyed and handsome, Xichun is cute and petite, Xiangyun is lively and brilliant, Baochai is plump and elegant, Daiyu is delicate and romantic, Huan is fat and Yan is thin , each has its own characteristics.
As for the other Yingying Yanyans, they were mostly maids and would not be introduced to Shui Rong.
