Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

When Aunt Xue and Baochai came over from Jia's house, everyone was talking at the old lady's place, and the mother and daughter didn't have to separate at all, they still went together.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the sound of laughter and laughter. Aunt Xue asked with a smile, "What are you talking about? It's so lively."

"Auntie is here." Mother Jia greeted with a smile, "I heard the children talking and joking. I was in a daze and heard someone outside say that Pan'er came to pick up Auntie's house and went to Laba?"

"That's why I came to bid farewell to the old lady!" Aunt Xue laughed, "I'm really ashamed to live in the mansion for so many days. Fortunately, I'm still in Beijing, and I'll see you more in the future. I thought, the weather is cold and inconvenient. When spring comes, I will tidy up the garden over there and invite the old lady to take the children to sit, have a drink, watch a play, and give me the opportunity to be filial. old lady."

"That's good." Mother Jia nodded and said, "I must go when the time comes."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mrs. Wang and shook his head slightly.Originally they planned to borrow money before the Chinese New Year, but for some reason, every time they wanted to ask, something else always got sidetracked.They thought it would be safe, so it was not good to speak rashly, so they kept waiting for the opportunity.Now that Aunt Xue is leaving, it is even more inappropriate to mention this.

Let's talk about it after a year.Anyway, in Jia Mu's view, since the Xue family stayed in the capital, they would never escape from the palm of their hand.It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later.

Here, Baochai is also saying to the girls, "My elder brother is here to pick up our family. If the younger sisters are free, they should come and sit with me. Since our family came to Beijing, we have had more of you." Take care, but I am ashamed to be an elder sister. When I have free time in the future, I will ask someone to come, sisters, don't refuse."

"Sister's words mean that she will not live here in the future?" Lin Daiyu asked.

Baochai laughed and said, "My brother said, since our house has been tidied up, it doesn't look like living in a relative's house. Anyway, the place is not far away, we live for a long time, and we spend a lot of time with each other, so we don't have to stick to living Where is it?" He said to Daiyu, "It's fine for others, but sister Lin must go to live with me for a few days."

"Why is she going instead of others?" Tan Chun smiled from the side, "If Sister Bao can't make a reason, we will be annoyed."

Baochai smiled and said, "Of course there is a reason. On our way to Beijing, this girl promised me a purse with her own mouth. After such a long time, there was no trace of the purse. I simply invited her to go and watched her do it every day." Let's see how she denies it. If Sister Tanchun is willing to make a purse for me, I will also invite you."

"You don't need to invite her." Daiyu joked, "She does her needlework rather quickly, but I'm afraid you won't dare to take her out, Sister Bao."

When Tanchun heard the words, he said angrily, "Well, this is a group arrangement for me? See if I don't tear your mouth!" As he said this, he was about to rush over to catch Daiyu, and Daiyu hurriedly hid behind Baochai. , the two circled around her, making her dizzy, and quickly pulled her back.

"Okay, don't make a fuss, and you can say a word whether you want to go or not. I'll have someone to talk to my brother about preparing the carriages and horses." Baochai said.

Everyone naturally said to go, and Tanchun said, "Go and see what kind of heavenly fairy palace is in Sister Bao's house, so we have to go back and live by ourselves. If the time is good, I will have to make a purse there gone."

Baoyu sat on the side, just looking at Baochai talking happily with other sisters, but ignoring herself, she couldn't help feeling a little depressed.However, after much deliberation, she still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Sister Bao, why does she only invite the sisters and not me? It can be seen that she has a birth share with me."

During this time, Mrs. Wang didn't know why she always took him to Lixiangyuan.At the beginning Baoyu was still in high spirits, and it would be nice to talk to Baochai, her sister, but then Baochai began to avoid him, and recently he just threw him to those two old-fashioned gentlemen, which caused Baoyu a headache.But the worst thing is that the old lady has already told him that the two gentlemen are both outstanding in character and talent, and that his father has hired them as his wives, and they will start classes in the first year.

So now that Mrs. Wang is going to Lixiangyuan again, Baoyu refuses in every possible way, and when they usually meet, naturally other sisters have to deal with it, and he has not spoken to Baochai for a while.

Baochai thought that Xue Pan had said that Baoyu would never go out tomorrow, so she laughed, "If Second Master Bao wants to come, our family will welcome you too. When you go back, go tell your brother to invite him to invite you."

"Sister Bao, can't you please?" Baoyu wondered.

Baochai just smiled and said nothing. Seeing this, Lin Daiyu sighed secretly, knowing that Baochai meant to avoid suspicion.Seeing that Baoyu was still ignorant, he must have never thought about it at all, and his heart was sore and astringent for a moment, and he almost shed tears.

In fact, they are still young now, even if they have a bit of hazy thoughts, they will not be at the point of life or death. The reason why Daiyu values ​​Baoyu is simply because he is the first person in the world who understands herself, and she is the one who sent her under the fence. The only solace in life.

But now that he has woken up and thought about it carefully, although Baoyu treats himself well, he treats others well.Maybe I put a little more thought on myself, and it's just because of the love I grew up with.Besides, she has only recently realized that Baoyu only understands her carefree self in the past.

At that time, they were young and had nothing to worry about, so the slightest disagreement around them seemed to be a big deal. Baoyu's considerateness in every way naturally benefited her.But now, she already knows that the world is difficult, and the worries in her heart are no longer because Baoyu said a word to someone in the past, or that the pen and ink she bought this time are not what she wants.She began to worry about some more realistic and helpless issues, but Baoyu was still immersed in his world.

Daiyu didn't blame him.

She herself was forced to wake up because she had lost all reliance, but Baoyu was still loved by her uncle and aunt, and the old lady looked at him like a blind eye.

He has such a blessing, but he does not.

"What are you thinking again?" Baochai sat down beside her and asked.

Daiyu came back to her senses and realized that everyone else was at the old lady's place without knowing what to say, only the two of them were still sitting here.Presumably, Baochai was afraid that she would stay here alone to make eye contact, so she deliberately accompanied her.Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing, just thinking that I will live in the past, will it be inconvenient?"

This is the meaning of the promise, Baochai said, "You are too thoughtful, we are relatives, what's the point of staying for a few days in the past? Besides, there are so many people in our family, which one have you never met? Brother said Alright, it was Brother Yang who brought you up." He lowered his voice and said, "Go back over there and ask Brother Yang to lead us out for a stroll."

Daiyu's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and she nodded repeatedly.

As soon as Xichun turned her head and saw the two sitting and talking together, she hurried over and asked with a smile, "What are you two saying while hiding here quietly?"

"Why is it so quiet? There are so many people watching. It's just that you are busy and can't get in, so we have to talk." Baochai said.

Xichun didn't think much about it, and changed the subject, "They are explaining that it's Laba, so there must be rewards in the palace. Is Sister Bao really not here? Isn't that a miss?"

Baochai said with a smile, "Our family also has to worship our ancestors, so we missed it. Fortunately, there is sister Lin like me."

Talking and laughing, after a while someone outside said that the carriage was ready, Aunt Xue got up and said goodbye, and went out with a few girls.Because I just went there today and came back in the evening, so the girls didn't have anything to bring. Only Daiyu brought some daily necessities because she wanted to stay for a few more days.As for Baoyu, he was called away by Jia Zheng on the way, so naturally he couldn't follow.

These boudoir daughters seldom go out on weekdays, and even if they go out, they are with their elders, and they must behave well, so listening to the bustle outside at this moment, they are a little ready to move.Because there were too many people in the middle of the traffic jam for a while, Tanchun even asked the waiter to lift the curtain on the car wall and look out.It's a pity that this is not a street market, so I had to give up.

Daiyu sat quietly all the time, because she thought that she could go out by herself while living in Xue's house, and she was inexplicably proud of herself.Then my thoughts turned to Bo Yang, and Baochai said that his body was not as good as his own in the past, how did he take care of him?When we meet later, how should I ask him?

After thinking this way all the way, he soon arrived at Xue's house.

His family is a merchant, and the mansion in Beijing is naturally not as grand as Chizao Rongguo Mansion, but it is better than being fresh, so the girls walked around a few times with great interest.It's a pity that there are not many scenery to enjoy in winter, but a few white plum trees in the yard can barely be seen.When I turned to the west courtyard, seeing the door was locked, Tanchun couldn't help asking, "Sister Bao, what is this place?"

Baochai came, "This is the residence of my righteous brother. He is a foreigner, so he can't meet with you. I think that's why the door is locked. Let's go over there."

But it is precisely because they can't see it that everyone is more curious.It's just that men and women are different after all, so it's hard to inquire.Xichun was young, so she didn't have so many taboos, so she asked curiously, "Sister Bao, what does your foster brother look like?"

Everyone has heard of Xue Pan's reputation before, although they have heard that it has changed for the better, but the fixed impression cannot be eliminated in a short time.So everyone can't help but think, her real brother is like that, but what does her righteous brother look like?

Baochai said with a smile, "Naturally, it is the same as other people. It has neither an extra eye nor an missing ear. Don't talk about him, you also come to my place to sit and comment."
