Chapter 16
Mrs. Wang didn't know that Aunt Xue was in the room trying to persuade Xue Baochai, "My son, what do you think?"
Xue Baochai just bowed her head to embroider the small flowers on a handkerchief, and said nothing. Seeing this, Aunt Xue became even more anxious. She stopped Baochai and said, "Say something!"
Baochai looked at his mother's appearance, and had to say, "I know you like Baoyu, but I see that Baoyu is not a good match."
Aunt Xue stood up after hearing this, her face was a little ugly, but she couldn't scold the girl who knew how to be polite in the past, so she could only lower her voice and say, "Mother knows that you are high-minded, but your qualifications for the election are not good enough." Nope, I'm still fourteen now, and ethics should have been a kiss. Although Baoyu has no fame, she has a good temper, and her mother-in-law is your aunt, so why don't you be dissatisfied."
Baochai looked at his mother. When his father was still there in the early years, there were men supporting him. Now he is only an indifferent elder brother. He had never seen many people. This Baoyu is naturally good, but it can be compared with that of Lin Beiyuan. It's just too bad.But Baoyu is still a person who doesn't like reading, and he can't even pretend.How could Baochai be willing to give his life to him like this.What's more, Mrs. Wang's meaning is not obvious, and my mother still listens to her wholeheartedly. Baochai can only say: "Mother is good for me, I know. It's just that Baoyu is like that, and she doesn't study, and she plays with those maids and sisters. Get some rouge, I really..." Baochai said with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this, Aunt Xue naturally couldn't say anything, so she just comforted: "Good boy, don't worry, Baoyu is young, and he may be fine in two years. Since you have these troubles, let's not get rid of them." , take a look and talk."
When Baochai heard this, it was exactly what she wanted, and they said something else before breaking up.
Let's say that the Lantern Festival is here, and Mother Jia wanted to invite Daiyu, but Daiyu sent someone over early to say that no fun is allowed during the filial piety, and sent some ginseng and the like.
Mother Jia thought that this was indeed the case, so she stopped thinking. The imperial concubine learned that the sisters in the family were busy, so naturally there was a bunch of rewards.
Here in Jia's mansion, the men drink and listen to operas all day long, and the sisters spend the whole day fluttering butterflies and composing poems, which is very lively and prosperous.
Just look at that Lin Beiyuan would go to the book market every two days to buy some second-hand books, and pass by restaurants to bring back some good pastries.These days are so peaceful and warm, even Ding San, who follows Beiyuan every day, feels that his young master is sad too much, and his personality has changed drastically.
Seeing that Bei Yuan didn't run out all day like before, Daiyu even asked a few more related questions, but Bei Yuan said that he should study hard and cultivate his health and character.
Life in Lin's mansion is also quite good, every day Daiyu takes care of the housekeeper, plays the piano and a few maids in the courtyard to look at the lake water, this mood is like a day.
Beiyuan seemed to have completely changed. He would spend most of his days reading every day, and he would come back soon after going out occasionally. Slowly, his attention to Lin Fu gradually faded away. It is said that Lin Ruhai's two children are honest, and they don't seem to be able to turn over big waves.
Lin's mansion is naturally quiet and peaceful, but Jia's mansion is really a bit chaotic, not to mention that Mrs. Wang hated Jia Mu for slapping herself in the face. It's just that these are all stuffy in my mind, but I happen to see the girl in the room hooking up with Baoyu, which adds fuel to the fire, and it gets better after a while.
The poor girl didn't know until she died, her master was just in a bad mood, so she deliberately found fault, and Baoyu fell ill because of it.
Xue Baochai took advantage of this opportunity to maintain a close relationship with Baoyu, and unexpectedly won the praise of many maids and women in the courtyard, who said that the girl of Xue's family was general and sensible.
Seeing this, Jia Mu naturally didn't like it, especially when she took Grandma Liu to visit the Grand View Garden and looked at the decoration of Xue Baochai's room, she was even more displeased.
It's just that Daiyu just shied away and refused to come.
Seeing that the relationship between Baochai and Baoyu gradually became harmonious, although Jia's mother was upset, she didn't show it at all.Coincidentally, it happened to be Xue girl's birthday, so he said: "Although Xue girl is fifteen, it's not a whole birthday, but you should have a good time."
Sister Feng took the 20 taels and went back with a smile. After a while, she said to Ping'er: "This house is getting worse and worse. Naturally, the expenses in this yard are huge, but Xue Baochai celebrates his birthday." , the old lady said to have a good time, but 20 taels is not enough!"
This happened to be heard by Jia Lian, and he just said: "You are getting more and more confused, just follow the girl and the others."
Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and said, "You think I don't know, but these younger sisters are all children of my own family. In the past, my relatives had a lot of fun on their birthdays. Which one has done it well? Besides, Xue Baochai's birthday is fifteen. We have to invite some ladies and ladies from various prefectures."
Since Jia Lian stole Second Sister You outside, it was good for her own tigress, probably because of a sense of guilt.What's more, during these days, Second Sister You has been pregnant for more than six months, and she is heavy. Seeing Wang Xifeng's beauty, she became more gentle.Seeing her annoyed, he naturally persuaded her: "Miss Xue has been here for a long time, and their house in Beijing has been repaired a long time ago, so I won't see her leave."
Wang Xifeng thought about Mrs. Wang's thoughts and that of Jia's mother, and seeing Xue Baochai's calm expression, she could only sneer and said to Jia Lian, "You old man, what do you know about these things?"
As he spoke, he turned around and ignored him.
Although Jia Lian liked Sister Feng's beauty, but this time she cut face again and again, he was really upset, so he went to sleep in the study that night.
Seeing Jia Lian's anger, Ping'er persuaded Sister Feng, "Grandma, the second master is always out on weekdays, and he rarely comes back these days. He is kind to you, so why bother?"
Wang Xifeng took a sip of water and said, "I wanted to treat him better, but do you know what he did outside?"
In the past, Ping'er followed Sister Feng every step of the way. Seeing this, he naturally asked, "What did Second Master do!"
Sister Feng said: "I saw that he always said that he was busy with things and couldn't go home. That day, I called Laiwang to ask. The boy was very tight-lipped, but he was recruited by a few ears. Had a small breast, and even got pregnant with a child."
Hearing this, Ping'er felt that Jia Lian was indeed a bit unusual. He had to pay more attention when he saw the girls and daughters-in-law who were neat in the yard. Those who could hook up would naturally steal food. Don't let it go, but this year has actually decreased a lot, so it turned out to be the case.
Seeing Ping'er's expression, Sister Feng sneered and said, "Why are you so anxious, but I'm still up there."
Not to mention that Jia Lian lives in the study, there is a young daughter-in-law in this mansion, she is a bastard's little daughter-in-law, nicknamed Duo Girl.I have long known that Jia Lian is handsome and romantic, but I have never seen him. One day, I happened to see Jia Lian resting in the study outside, so I told the boy in the gatehouse. In Jia Lian's room.
Jia Lian was always romantic, which is why he was unhappy. Seeing the goods delivered to his door, he would not be unusable.This night was exactly the time when he was turned into a red wave, and Wu Shan died.
The two didn't part until dawn. When they were parting, Jia Lian took out a few liang of silver and handed it to her, but the girl gave her a wink before leaving.
But he didn't think about it, ever since Jia Lian tasted this taste, he missed that girl very much, and the two of them would often ride on the bastard at night when they were drunk, and then they would do that messy thing by the bedside of the bastard. The two still couldn't let go, but those bastards only knew how to drink and mess around all day long, and the two of them actually had a new interest, and they really had a good time every night.
This Sister Feng already knew about these two people, but Miss Xue's birthday had to be arranged, and secondly, she thought it would be better to wait a few days and see what the girl outside said.
Let's start with the fact that Jia's mother arranged for Xue Baochai's birthday, and Wang Xifeng naturally made some money to make it happen.
Shi Xiangyun from the historian came. Mother Jia saw that she was going to send someone to pick up Daiyu, but she didn't know that Daiyu still wouldn't come. She just said that her father was so filial that she couldn't come, and she just invited the sisters to have fun.
The weather was getting colder, so Daiyu asked the girl to send Beiyuan a jacket made by herself, which the Xiuniang in the mansion could also make, but it was just Daiyu's caring heart.Bei Yuan was also happy, but when Liu Si came in with the housekeeper, Bei Yuan was a little surprised.
Busily calling the servants to serve tea and snacks, Liu Si sat on the kang unceremoniously, took a sip of tea and said, "Don't bother me, I'll leave after a while."
Bei Yuan thought to himself, if he hadn't said it earlier, he would only say it when people brought it up, but he just thought about it in his stomach, but he said: "It's really a distinguished guest, I don't know what orders Fourth Master has."
Liu Si laughed when he heard Beiyuan call him fourth master, "Usually people don't feel anything when they call me that, but now you hear me call me that, but you think it's very good. From now on, this fourth master will only be called by you, okay?"
Seeing that he was smiling ambiguously at him, Bei Yuan was a little embarrassed, why did this man smile so strangely, it was just that he was always like this, and just said: "Fourth Lord, I don't know what's the matter here." As soon as the words came out of Bei Yuan's mouth I feel that I shouldn't say it, but the words have been spoken, but I can't take them back.
Liu Si said directly: "If it weren't for me, how could you and your sister live here."
Hearing this, Bei Yuan was immediately enlightened. At first, he looked at many courtyards, but they were not suitable. This courtyard is so good, why Ding San came across it, it seems to be his credit.Bei Yuan bowed to him and said: "Si Ye will take care of him when he is far away. Both Bei Yuan and his sister are very grateful, but Bei Yuan respects filial piety now, why not buy Si Ye a drink."
Liu Si looked at Bei Yuan and saw him like this, but he didn't know if he really didn't know or was pretending to be stupid.It's just that there are more important things to come here this time, so I can only say: "Beiyuan, Master Lin will send secret letters every two months. This time Master Lin died strangely, but the secret letter arrived as scheduled, but One thing is missing, if you don’t know Beiyuan, do you know?”
After Liu Si finished speaking, he looked at Beiyuan. In fact, he came to ask Beiyuan with the mentality of giving it a try. After all, Beiyuan was in Jia's mansion for the secret letter from Yangzhou to Beijing.
