Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Although Baochai did not go to Jia's house, he prepared a lot of gifts for Daiyu to take and distribute to everyone.

Most of them were bought when the two of them went out, and they were not worth much, but they were novel and interesting, and the girls in the boudoir rarely saw them.However, these things, as Baochai said, were interesting to look at, but most of them were found to be useless after buying them, and they were not easy to throw away.

Besides, although Daiyu is here as a guest, it can still be regarded as a trip, if she doesn't bring back anything, it won't look good.But she doesn't have much money to prepare, and it's not suitable for giving too expensive things, and these novelties are just right.

It was a strange mother who came to pick up Daiyu, she was quite polite on the surface, but her attitude was very distant, and she refused to talk to her unless necessary.

If it was in the past, Daiyu would have to think about what this meant, but now, she tried to let herself relax.No matter what this means, after all, I am the master, even if I live in my grandmother's house, I don't even have to guess the minds of the servants.

So along the way, she enjoyed herself even if the other party didn't speak.

When I got back to Jia's mansion and entered the second gate, Zijuan and Xueyan greeted me—this time I went back to Xue's house, because I knew that I went to live with Baochai, and her house was not big, so I was simply alone. None of them were taken.Seeing the two people rushing to welcome them now, I couldn't help feeling warm, "In this cold weather, just wait in the yard, why come out?"

"Although I know that the girl has gone, Auntie and Miss Bao are naturally considerate in every way, but not being with the girl makes people uncomfortable after all. I always think about it, even if I am in the yard, I will not be safe, so I simply come here and wait." Zijuan laughed, " Besides, we are all dressed warmly, but the girl should not be cold."

"My whole body is also very warm." Daiyu smiled, "Let's go, first go to see the old lady. I also brought some things back, and I will distribute them to the sisters later. Take a good look at them and don't break them." gone."

"Yes." Zijuan said, and looked at Daiyu carefully for a while, and saw that she was wearing brand new clothes, the plain blue cloth had no patterns at all, but the material was very good.Thinking that she was still in mourning, I couldn't help but sigh that Xue's family was careful.Yin asked with a smile, "Is the girl's clothes newly made? The material is very good."

Daiyu said, "Yes, my aunt recognized a brother Bai as a foster son. He specializes in this business and is now in Beijing. He said that he was going to make new clothes for everyone during the Chinese New Year. I was also there, so Made two sets too."

Zijuan looked at the boxes carried by the women behind her again, secretly amused.When Daiyu went there, she was nothing more than a bundle, but when she came back, she brought two boxes of things.From this point of view, the Xue family is more like her home. ——I always bring so many things when I go out, but it’s easier to go home.

Xueyan asked curiously, "Girl, what kind of person is that Uncle Bai? He is very generous."

"Why are you asking this?" Daiyu frowned slightly.

Xueyan didn't realize it, and said with a smile, "The last time some girls came back from Xue's house as guests, they said that there was a Mr. Bai in their house, so arrogant, when a guest came, he didn't even show his face. Everyone is guessing who it is!"

Daiyu was displeased when she heard the words, and reprimanded, "Men and women are different. Brother Bo is eighteen this year. Although he is a relative, he is an adopted son. How can he not shy away from girls from relatives, but open the door to welcome them?" The truth? These words can’t be passed on in the future!”

Xueyan was startled, and quickly agreed.Daiyu still kept a straight face, for some reason, she always cared about this matter very much.

In her heart, Bai Yang is the best person in the world because he is bright, considerate and meticulous.Especially after talking about the disease, Daiyu regarded him as her goal, always thinking that one day she could be like him, and her life would be the ultimate.

However, it was difficult for her to accept that such a person who should be in the arms of the Qingfengmingyue was treated so contemptuously by the Jia family.

Seeing her uneasy expression, the two servant girls naturally stopped talking.A group of people went to the old lady's place, because it was the new year, not only the sisters had suspended classes, but also the ethnology school was on holiday, so the sisters and Baoyu were all joking here, and when they heard that she was coming, they all got up and greeted each other. welcome.

Daiyu adjusted her mood, met the old lady, and greeted everyone with a smile.Jiamu took her to ask about the Xue family for a while, and then said, "You just came back, you must be tired. Go back and tidy up, and it's time to rest. You sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so go over and talk. Don't worry about being here with me." I don't feel comfortable in front of the old lady."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "The old ancestor is here, who can feel uncomfortable?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Others are uncomfortable, but Sister-in-law Feng will never be uncomfortable."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words, and Sister Feng clamored to beat Daiyu. After a long time of tossing, Mother Jia felt a little tired, so they let them go.

Although Daiyu always has a little temper on weekdays, there are not many people in the family, and the sisters mostly play together, without her, it would be deserted.In particular, Daiyu was so eloquent that she was the only one who could say many things.Therefore, it is inevitable that everyone will miss this trip.In addition, they rarely go out, and there is nothing new to pass the time every day. Daiyu lived in Xue's house for a while, so everyone was naturally curious.

So they all gathered here to talk to her.

Daiyu first distributed the things she brought to the crowd, not daring to say that she and Baochai bought them in person, but said, "Brother Xue and Brother Bai were afraid that Sister Bao and I would be bored at home, so they brought them from outside. I came back. It’s not worth anything, it’s just something new and interesting. When I came back, Sister Bao said that I have been taken care of by everyone, and I have no other good gifts, so I have to use these to make up the number. She can’t afford such furniture. Good things, I don't need to say anything, so I have to borrow flowers to present to Buddha."

"As soon as Sister Lin really came back and said a few words, the house immediately became lively again." Sister Feng laughed.

Daiyu said, "Sister-in-law Feng, why do you have to make fun of me? Who doesn't know that you, Feng Lazi, are the first person in Jia's mansion to be clever and articulate, even the old lady praised you! I am absolutely incomparable."

Sister Feng pointed at her and said, "Okay, I got it! You came back today to entertain me, didn't you?"

"This is really wronging me," Daiyu said with a smile, "Which one of my words is not true?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and Sister Feng had no choice but to say, "Forget it, who told me to be your sister-in-law? Even if you say a few words, I can't lose a piece of meat. I don't want to care about you, so I have to suffer. It's just you Be more careful, and don't fall into my hands in the future!"

While talking and laughing, Sister Feng was secretly surprised, always feeling that Daiyu seemed a little different than usual.However, if you think about it carefully, there is no difference.She has always been like this, clever and flexible, unreasonable and unforgiving.

So the idea was just a flash, and it was quickly forgotten.

After talking for a while, everyone had heard enough new things, and saw that Daiyu still had to clean up here, so they also got up to leave.Only Baoyu dawdled and stayed at the end. Seeing that everyone else had left, he leaned over and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you come back after you left? Could it be that Sister Bao's place is so good? I know there are people here who are thinking about it." looking at you."

"I'm also thinking about my sisters, but I just thought, we can still keep each other company here, but Sister Bao is alone with her. Wouldn't it be nice for me to stay with her for a few more days?" Daiyu said.

Baoyu sighed, "According to me, why did Auntie and Sister Bao decide to move out? They still live with us as before. It's good for everyone to be together!"

"Your words are ridiculous. She has her own home and doesn't want to live in it, so she wants to live in yours?" Daiyu sneered, "It's not like everyone is me..."

When Baoyu saw her mentioning this matter, he quickly begged for mercy, "My dear sister, I didn't mean that, but I just couldn't bear to part with you. It's just that my sister has been away for a long time, and I can't help worrying. I hate that the old lady also said the same thing as you. I Several times urged me to pick you up, but the old lady said that it was a relative's house, so she rushed to pick you up, which seemed like we were worried about his family."

Daiyu paused for a while to pack her books, and Bo Yang's words on the day she went to Xue's house flashed in her mind: "Since I'm here, I'll stay here for a few more days, and someone from Jia's house will pick me up before returning."

At that time, she didn't quite understand what it meant, but now she finally understood, but she only felt chills all over her body.

Daiyu supported the table with one hand, not letting Baoyu notice her abnormality, closed her eyes for a while, and silently said the word "look away" in her heart, after a while she finally calmed down, and then slowly opened her eyes.

"Is what you said true?" she asked.

Baoyu said hastily, "That's natural. As soon as you left, I went to talk about it. After asking three or four times, the old lady agreed."

Daiyu couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said in a low voice, "Okay."

"What?" Her voice was so low that Baoyu couldn't hear her clearly.

Daiyu has recovered her usual expression, "It's nothing, the old lady is more considerate. You see, my aunt and sister Bao have treated me very well, so don't worry."

Baoyu said, "No matter how good it is, it can't compare to my own home. How can I rest assured?"

Daiyu smiled wryly, yes, no matter how good it is, how can it compare to her own home?Baoyu rest assured that she is here because this is his home, but... this is not her Lin Daiyu's home either.

She only felt an inexplicable sense of sadness welling up from the bottom of her heart.It wasn't violent, but it engulfed and submerged her whole body little by little.

What Bo Yang said rang in his ears again, "Whenever you see him and don't feel like crying, just look away."

At this moment, Daiyu finally realized that it was Bo Yang who could see clearly. She thought she was open-minded, but in the end she still... couldn't see it.
