Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Knowing that Bo Yang was leaving, Xue Pan was still not in high spirits, so he became very clingy in the next few days.Bo Yang followed him and didn't go out. The two of them lived in the same place every day, reading and writing, or discussing some business matters. Sometimes Daiyu and Baochai came over, and the four of them talked together. I feel that the day is going very lightly.

In a blink of an eye, the 21st of the first month came.This day is Baochai's birthday, and it is also the same day as Mrs. Shi at the Jia's mansion, and she has already agreed to let Xue's family members go there, so it is not good to celebrate Baochai.But she can think about it herself, "I'm young, how can I bear this? Don't delay the business of serious relatives."

But even so, the whole family, starting from Aunt Xue, has prepared congratulatory gifts for her, and even the servants below will inevitably go to kowtow in front of her to congratulate her today.Baochai was very happy, but she didn't know how much money to give out.

The most rare thing was that Daiyu really stayed up all night to embroider a sachet for her. Even Bo Yang, who claimed to be well-informed, couldn't help admiring the exquisite stitching and embroidery.

But after Baochai was happy, she still had to say about her, "Your body is not strong in the first place. After suffering like this, when will it be better?"

"It's not bad for a day or two." Daiyu said with a smile, "I know how my sister treats me. I can't do anything else, but this little thing can be seen by others. Don't be disgusted with me, sister."

Naturally, the two got closer again.

The gift Xue Pan gave was very vulgar. It was a jeweled gold heart. The red gemstone was set against the gold, which looked brilliant, but it was too eye-catching. After Baochai smiled, she put it away. It was obviously not a big day. It cannot be worn out.

What Bo Yang gave was a set of books.

At this time, most of the books were engraved by private individuals, and some books were engraved and sold in bookstores, but because of the low price, the quality was naturally not flattering.Therefore, wealthy families are proud of collecting books by famous masters.As a woman, Baochai, although she has a rare knowledge, there are still many books that she cannot read.Bo Yang knew that she liked it, and after spending a lot of thought, he asked a private person with excellent engraving skills to help engrave such a complete set of books.

After delivering the presents, seeing Daiyu's eyes full of envy, he smiled and said, "I have another set, which is for Sister Lin. But it takes a lot of time to read, and I can give it to you when you are in good health."

After talking, Aunt Xue came to remind her that it was time to go to Jia's house.

When Daiyu heard this, her expression darkened slightly.In fact, she lived in Jia's house much longer than Xue's, and she always felt that she used Jia's house as her refuge.However, after living here for a while, she suddenly said that she wanted to leave, but she seemed reluctant to leave home.There is also some fear and resistance to the days of living in Jia's house.

I can't remember what it was like before.

It's not bad there, there are also brothers and sisters, and it's hard to say that the elders don't love her, but there is an inexplicable depression that makes her unable to relax, and all kinds of melancholy are always lingering in her heart.

Seeing this, Baochai comforted her in a low voice, "Sister, don't worry, I won't be here for a few days this time. Mom said before that she would have a banquet for my aunt, the old lady, and all the sisters. You must come too , I told the old lady to let you stay. Mom has already recognized you as a goddaughter, even if the aunt and the others know, there is no reason not to let you go."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she acted a little bit.At this time, it is normal for people who are close to each other to have such exchanges.It's like Shi Xiangyun often comes to Jia's house to live.

Usually Daiyu envied her, she came to live in Jia's house, she lived peacefully, and when she was about to leave, she walked gracefully.This is certainly because of her personality, but it is also because of the confidence in her heart.And that confidence is that she still has a home to return to.

Now I have a place like this.

After thinking about it, Daiyu's heart naturally became loose.When they met Jia's family, they could talk and laugh freely, and even had a good look at Baoyu, which surprised everyone.

Although the old lady's birthday was not a whole birthday and there was no major event, it was not considered frugal. Several familiar relatives were invited, and a play was arranged for a banquet, which was very lively.However, Aunt Xue and others have not lived here for a long time, and although they have contacts, they still feel quite unfamiliar.

The last time I had a bad quarrel with Mrs. Wang, it was impossible for it to have no effect at all.Although everyone pretended it didn't exist, the knot in their hearts didn't go away for a while.

Mrs. Wang and the two girls had a banquet in the inner house, while Bo Yang and Xue Pan were naturally entertained by the men of the Jia family outside.

This was the first time Bo Yang showed his face in front of these people—the last time he came back, I don't know what Jiamu thought, she didn't intend to let him see these people at all, so she walked around the inner house and went back.

Bo Yang's appearance is outstanding, and the Jia family has always been the most playful. When they see him, even if they know he is a relative, but they understand his origin, he is just a adopted son, and no one really takes it seriously. , can not help moving.

But Xue Pan is very sensitive about this matter now.He seems to have installed a super radar, which can instantly catch all those who have unreasonable thoughts about Bo Yang. ——Of course, there are unavoidable accidental injuries, but Xue Pan's purpose has always been to kill the wrong and never let it go.So he wrote down all these people, and he had to give some rewards later.

Of course, they have to be given a little warning now.

So Bo Yang soon noticed a slight change in Xue Pan's attitude towards him.It's not the usual stickyness, but more like the feeling when the two hadn't known each other for a long time, a feeling of admiration and admiration, wanting to get close but not daring.

After thinking about it, he realized that Xue Pan was trying to raise his status for himself.After all, he himself is what the Jia family has to care about. If he shows respect for him, then other people will naturally have to weigh it.To his surprise, seeing Xue Pan's attitude, the young masters of the Jia family really restrained themselves a lot.

He thought that in the eyes of these people, Xue Pan was the same as them, and he might not be able to suppress it at all.It seems that Xue Pan has also done many things in places that he can't see.

After a while, Bo Yang saw another acquaintance, Jia Lian.Because he was in charge of the affairs of the mansion, he was well-known among the children of the Jia family, and seeing that he was having a good conversation with Bo Yang, the others turned their eyes away in embarrassment and continued to drink.

Bo Yang savored this change, feeling as if he was being protected by Xue Pan.It made him feel very happy.

It seems that the Xue Pan I was looking forward to in the past has begun to be polished little by little, and the progress is faster than I thought, and the effect is better than I thought.

Sure enough, no one should be underestimated.

When they sat down to talk, Xue Pan revealed without any trace that Bo Yang knew Hejun Wang, and everyone dared not make mistakes, even speaking more cautiously.So this day's banquet was quite pleasant for Bo Yang.

After that, Jia's family and Xue's family visited several times, and the date for Xue's return was also fixed, which was on the third day of February.

But that has nothing to do with Bo Yang, because he set off on the first day of February.

As this day approached, he could clearly feel that Xue Pan had become more clingy.He doesn't even want to go back to live in his own yard now, and stays with Bo Yang all day long.The strange thing is, perhaps because Xue Pan has never concealed his closeness and trust to Bo Yang, so he is now like this, whether it is Aunt Xue or Baochai, he thinks it is very normal.

So Bo Yang couldn't say anything more.

It's just that two people who are deeply in love and will soon face separation stay together all day, and it's obvious what they can do.

Bo Yang felt that Xue Pan might be over-nourished and developed too well. Every day, he didn't know where to vent his countless energy and put all of it on himself.

At the beginning, he followed the procedures in a regular manner, and he didn't dare to mess around in places other than the bed.But later, when he found out that no one else cared about him, and there was nothing to do all day long, and Bo Yang was always at hand, he couldn't help it.

Once there was the first time, there would be the second time, and even Bo Yang was brought up a little badly by him. Whenever he saw him, there would always be some scenes that made people blush and heartbeat. live.

Occasionally he recalled that when he had promised Xue Pan to stay at Xue's house, what Xue Pan had promised him, saying that he would be able to bear it, so that no one would see the clues, now it seems like bullshit.The hateful thing is that he doesn't seem to want to bear it anymore.

After all, this separation will definitely last for a long time, not only Xue Pan is not used to it, Bo Yang is not used to it either.Because Xue Pan persisted in brushing up his presence day after day, he could feel his presence almost every moment, even if he was not there, he would remember him, so Bo Yang couldn't imagine what it would be like without him.

When melancholy comes up, he will feel that he seems to have tasted the taste of lovesickness before he really parted.

But no matter how much reluctance and attachment there is, this day will always come.

Xue Pan personally sent the man out of the city, lingered in the carriage for half a day, hugged Bo Yang and sighed, "Brother Yang, why don't you take me with you. When I think about going back this time, I won't be able to see you anymore. It’s so sad that I can’t breathe.”

Bo Yang had no choice but to suppress his own melancholy and try to appease him, until it was getting late and he would miss Sutou if he didn't leave, then he persuaded him to go back.

But when Xue Pan pitifully got out of the carriage, Bo Yang immediately felt the feeling of being out of breath.

He sat in a daze in the carriage, and was awakened only when the carriage stopped.

Xingnu said from the outside of the carriage, "Master, we've arrived at the town where we'll spend the night, shall we go in now?"

"So soon?" Bo Yang was startled, and opened the curtain to look out, only to find that dusk had fallen at some point, and the small town not far away was covered with green bricks and black tiles, and smoke was curling up, full of human fireworks.Although it is a completely different scene, it subtly overlaps with the hometown in memory.

He was stunned for a moment, then put down the curtain and said, "Go in."
