Jia Baoyu was completely unaware of how strange the atmosphere in the room was, and he was still enthusiastically praising Zhao Yin to Qingwen.

Xiren smiled and asked, "If that's the case, when she comes, I'll have to see her carefully to see if she's as good as you say."

"Don't worry about it. I'll go back to the old lady in a few days and ask her to come over." When Jia Baoyu mentioned the girl, he was no longer bothered. He looked at Xiren and suddenly smiled and said, "You know what, if you two meet, you will definitely be able to have fun together."

Xiren could hardly hold back the smile on her face, "What did you say?"

Jia Baoyu said excitedly: "You don't know, although she looks a little better than you, her temperament is very similar to yours. She speaks softly and tenderly. Although she has no one to rely on and is looked down upon by others, she does not feel resentful, which makes people feel even more pity for her."

When he said the first sentence, the smile on Xiren's face disappeared.

She looked at Jia Baoyu and felt a little uncomfortable. How could he talk like that? She knew that Baoyu was always outspoken and said whatever he thought of without any scruples. But it was too embarrassing for him to say directly that her appearance was not as good as others.

"Now that the Second Master has seen the girls outside, he looks down on us." Xiren has always been known for her virtue, but now she is really angry. A ball of anger is crowded in her heart, so that she doesn't care about anything else and says in a choking voice: "I am inferior to others. The Second Master should go back to the old lady as soon as possible and ask Miss Zhao to come over, so that we can be sent away as soon as possible and everyone will be clean."

Qingwen sneered at the side, her lively eyes moving between the two of them, "This is the first time I see our Grandmother Hua get angry. Could it be that the sun rises from the east today?"

Jia Baoyu panicked, and quickly waved his hand to tell Qingwen to stop talking. He got off the couch without putting on his shoes, and came to Xiren and bowed, "It was just unintentional. Sister, please don't be angry about my stupid words..."

Xiren turned away from him and said with a sob, "I am just a maid, I don't deserve Second Master's treatment. If Second Master wants to embarrass me, just say so. There is no need to do this."

Jia Baoyu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He spread his hands, not knowing what to do. "When did I mean that? It was just a few jokes. Why do you take it so seriously, sister?"

Xiren wiped her tears, "Second Master said it was a joke, but why did you compare me with others? I am dull and have never been as good as others. Don't you know that, Second Master?"

Jia Baoyu scratched his ears and cheeks and winked at Qingwen, asking her to come over and persuade him.

Qingwen quickly waved her hands, indicating that she could do nothing.

Jia Baoyu had no choice but to go around and apologize to Xiren, which made her burst into laughter. He then breathed a sigh of relief and no longer dared to say that Xiren was inferior to others.

Qingwen curled her lips. She knew it would be like this.

Everyone praised Xiren for her gentle nature, but in fact Qingwen knew everything she was thinking, but she just didn't expose it.

Therefore, Xiren did not dare to act too pretentiously, and even when she was angry, she knew when to stop. If she irritated Baoyu too much, and the old lady drove him out, all her hopes would be dashed.

Xiren sighed and pushed him to sit down, "I was just anxious for a moment, don't take it to heart, Second Master."

Jia Baoyu held her hand and said, "I said something wrong and made you unhappy. Please bear with me."

There were still tears in Xiren's eyes, which looked bright and moving under the candlelight, "Second Master, you are too kind."

Jia Baoyu looked at her, unconsciously moved closer, and murmured blankly: "Sister..."

Qingwen couldn't stand seeing this and didn't like Xiren's behavior, so she turned around, lifted the curtain and went out.

Xiren's face turned red under Jia Baoyu's fiery gaze, and her heart beat faster. She was too shy to look him in the eye, "Second Master, this happened in broad daylight, and someone saw it..."

Jia Baoyu was totally unaware of how frivolous his eyes and actions were, and he moved closer, "What's there to be afraid of? We are so affectionate, how can it bother them?"

"My little ancestor, don't you know..." Xiren winked at Jia Baoyu, signaling him to think about Qingwen outside, "If she finds out and makes a fuss, I might as well be dead."

Jia Baoyu didn't think there was anything to worry about. "You worry too much. Although Qingwen has an impatient temper, she is not a mean person. She is a very honest and straightforward person. You can put your mind at ease."

Xiren was so angry that her nose was crooked. She wanted to put some eye drops on Jia Baoyu to make him stay away from Qingwen, but she didn't expect that he actually trusted Qingwen so much.

You say Qingwen is not a villain, then who am I? Am I judging others by my own standards?

Xiren curled her lips secretly and stopped talking about Qingwen. She then asked about the girl that Jia Baoyu brought back.

Jia Baoyu said: "Her surname is Zhao and her given name is Yin. I think this name is not good. It does not suit her character and it is not a girl's name. Let me think about it and change her name. That's the most important thing."

The name Hua Xiren was given by the old lady when she gave Xiren to Jia Baoyu. Xiren always felt that she was different in Baoyu's heart, but now he had to change the name of the new one, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Xiren lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her eyes again, she was the "virtuous Xiren" in everyone's eyes, "There's no hurry for this, the girl probably didn't bring much luggage when she came, and I just made a few new clothes, so she's not in a hurry to wear them, I'll send them to her tomorrow."

Jia Baoyu sighed that she was really kind-hearted. He held Xiren's hand and said with a smile, "I know you are kind-hearted. Sister Feng has already asked someone to make clothes for her. You can keep yours for yourself and don't give it to her."

"Your thought is not as thorough as mine." Xiren said with a smile.

Jia Baoyu asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Xiren asked him, "Think carefully, it will take several days to make the clothes now. Can we let Miss Zhao wear the same clothes she wore when she came here?"

Jia Baoyu slapped his head and said, "Yes, I was stupid. Sister is really thoughtful."

Xiren went to get the clothes with a smile. When she came back, Jia Baoyu said, "You don't have to give her all of them. Just pick out a few plain ones. Her parents just passed away, so it's not appropriate for her to wear brightly colored clothes."

Xiren said angrily, "How could I not have thought of this? You really underestimate me."

Jia Baoyu chuckled and went over to help her choose clothes. "I am too nosy. Sister is a very careful person and always considers everything."

As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Hey, I think this one is good, it's simple and elegant, and it matches Sister Zhao's personality very well."

When Xiren saw it, her heart was bleeding. Although the color of the dress he took out was not as bright as the others, the material was the best. She was reluctant to wear it herself. But the words had been said and there was no way to take them back. She could only grit her teeth and swallow.

"Second Master has good taste. The material for this dress was given by the old lady last time. There are only a few pieces in the whole house."

Her original intention was to tell Jia Baoyu that she was not a stingy person, and that since the things had been sold, she should at least be remembered for her kindness.

Jia Baoyu didn't know whether he understood what she meant or not, but judging from his expression, he didn't. He took the dress and examined it carefully under the candlelight, saying, "It's really good. Sister Zhao will look very, very pretty in it."

Xiren stared at the top of his head with her eyes, her heart filled with jealousy.
