[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Ever since His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess went to Rongguo Mansion in person, everyone treats Baochai differently from the past.

Originally, although Jia's mother had many suspicions, Mrs. Wang still included her in the candidate for Baoyu's wife. Now that the eldest princess came, Mrs. Wang suddenly changed her tone: "Baochai is a child of great fortune. In the future, I will return to you." I don’t know what to do. A few days ago, the son of Jinxiang Hou’s family came to propose marriage, and His Royal Highness the eldest princess came to tell her not to treat her badly. Now she is determined to move out of the garden. As an aunt, I am Twelve points are reluctant, but considering that this child is a person who does great things, living in the garden for fear of restraining her, it is difficult to stop her. Now you just talk to her, just say that I still make decisions for her in Hengwuyuan Keep it, whenever you want to come over, just say hello."

Although Aunt Xue was not as quick and easy as Mrs. Wang, she didn't know that my sister had a temper and temperament. Seeing this appearance, she knew she was really angry. She hurriedly clarified: "That child Baochai has always been very stable. I can assure you that she has never seen the son of the Hou family in Jinxiang. I also ask my sister to say a few words in front of the old lady. How could my sister not know that Baochai said that she wanted to move out of the garden? If you are angry, why take it seriously? Just wait until I tell her."

Mrs. Wang sneered and said: "The child's angry words? I'm afraid she has a big heart? Do you know the details of the eldest princess? It's not like you don't know that my Zhu'er married a girl from the Li family of the Imperial Academy. It was originally a good intention, but what happened? Don’t say that the old lady disagrees, even I can’t ask Baoyu to marry such a girl again!”

Aunt Xue heard that there must be a reason for it, and immediately inquired about it in private, she felt panicked, she turned her head and complained to Baochai: "You are a good girl, how come you have contacts with His Royal Highness the Princess? Since the eldest princess returned from marriage, her temperament has changed drastically. She has been ambiguous with the beautiful women in the palace all day long. Now even the old lady and your second aunt think you are that kind of person, and you know that. Because of your sister-in-law Zhu, they have always tabooed about this, and now they have asked the palace lady Yuanchun for an order, saying that they will point your younger sister Lin to Brother Bao."

Baochai had known for a long time that Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess had some unclear problems, so she kept keeping her distance.Now I have no choice but to have contacts with her because of the shipping and Yao Jing matters, but I have already made up my mind, so I am at ease.Hearing Aunt Xue's words at this time, he smiled and said: "It's so good. I've seen it for a long time, they are a couple. If there is a will, I will be at ease."

Seeing that her daughter was obsessed with obsession so far, Aunt Xue felt angry and wanted to fight. She was also afraid that His Royal Highness would blame her and cry and make a fuss, but nothing would work, so she wiped her tears and walked away despondently with a maidservant.

Only then did Baochai stare blankly at the Linghua mirror, unconsciously shedding tears.Betrayed by a partner and had to deal with His Royal Highness the Princess, this is anger; my mother is not sympathetic to me so far, quite sad, this is hurt; the Jia family let go, and finally let me leave the Grand View Garden, feeling free , This is a joy; I was shocked to hear that the concubine Yuan in the palace is about to marry Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. She is not only gratified that Lin Daiyu has fulfilled her long-cherished wish, but also feels sorry for her own situation.Therefore, I have mixed feelings in my heart, an indescribable taste.

Suddenly I heard Ying'er picking up the curtain to report that Miss Lin had come.Baochai just woke up, and when she was busy wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Lin Daiyu saw the redness of her eye circles, and rushed over and asked, "What's the matter? Earlier I heard that Sister Bao insisted on moving out of the Grand View Garden, so I tried to persuade her No, seeing my sister is so sad now, could it be because she can't bear to part with us? If that's the case, why do you have to move out?"

Baochai forced a smile and said, "It's all right. They're all business worries."

Lin Daiyu said: "Since the business matters are so trivial, why does elder sister Bao have to do everything by herself? Could it be that the Xue family is rich, does elder sister still want to earn her own money?"

Baochai smiled and said, "It's just that you are eccentric." He hurriedly recruited Yinger, brought her the account book in the shop to show her, and said how much money she had put in Baochai's place had been turned over.

Daiyu was not interested in this, she waved her hands and said, "I didn't come here for this."

Baochai recalled what she had seen and heard in her previous life, and advised her: "Although money and other things are inevitably lost to the world, it doesn't match my sister's beautiful heart and noble character, but as the head of the royal relatives and relatives, Mother, you need to have a little more money to do things cheaply, and you have to keep some money for yourself, so that if something goes wrong, you can keep it safe for a while."

Daiyu heard that she said "mother of the emperor's relatives", and she already knew that Mother Jia had told Daiyu earlier that she would ask for an order from Empress Yuanchun in a few days. Angrily said: "Sister will make fun of others."

Baochai felt very desolate in her heart, but her face became more gentle, and she forced a smile and said, "How can this be a joke? Brother Bao is a noble character, and he is especially careful with the girl's family. Moreover, he grew up together, with a rare appearance and temperament. I'm not afraid to tell you, I've been eyeing your pair for several years, and it's a match made in heaven."

Daiyu suddenly withdrew her shy smile and remained silent.When Baochai looked surprised, she slowly said: "I am here this time, one is not to inquire about business matters, and the other is not to discuss life with Sister Bao. I just heard a rumor in the garden, which is quite strange, but Seeing that they have a nose and an eye, I came here to ask Sister Bao for verification."

Baochai laughed and said, "I think this rumor has something to do with me?"

"Exactly." Daiyu nodded and said, "It is rumored that Sister Bao is in a hurry to move out, either to discuss marriage with the Hou Han family of Jinxiang, or to be the guest of His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Baochai smiled wryly: "Where did this come from? Moving out was originally just to make business cheaper, so there are so many weird rumors. Jinxiang Hou Han's family and His Royal Highness the eldest princess are all in the business field. It's just acquaintances, even if we meet, the only thing we talk about is business."

But Daiyu refused to let it go, pressing her step by step: "But according to the rumors, Sister Bao and Sister-in-law Zhu have a good relationship because you are the same kind of people. Now the eldest princess... the eldest princess Fame, I think Sister Bao has always heard of it. We can't help but not worry."

Baochai had no choice but to remain silent.These rumors were true or false, and Li Wan was also involved.She couldn't lie in front of Lin Daiyu, but she couldn't bring out other people's affairs in order to clarify the truth.

But Lin Daiyu was more concerned about this issue than she was interested in Yuanchun's marriage.

"Sister Bao, it's not that you don't talk about many things and just pretend nothing happened. Do you still remember the drama we heard together when we hid behind the rockery?" Daiyu stared deeply at Baochai, refusing to relax at all.

Baochai's heart shuddered.How can I not remember?In fact, the most important thing that day was not to hear any operas together, but to witness the fake friendship between the two little actors.

"Sister Bao, I know I'm really embarrassing you by asking like this." Daiyu was still in the mood to laugh, her eyes sparkling, "Why don't you ask me questions after I ask you, Okay? I promise no matter what you ask, I won't be angry."

Baochai had no choice but to nod slowly.Although she was helpless, there was an inexplicable hope deep in her heart, what she was hoping for, even she herself couldn't tell.

"Do you think that what we saw and heard together that day was too shocking?" Daiyu asked.

The ancients were fond of Long Yang and had a penchant for breaking sleeves, which is nothing unusual.But if the two women are acquainted with each other, it will not be so easy to be accepted by the world.What the world likes to hear even more is that two women who are waiting to be married are turbulent for a man, and the two sisters-in-law are submissive and harmonious on the surface, but in fact you come and go. There are strange women like Yunniang in ancient books. , but also had to hide behind the virtuous and considerate, using the title of concubine for her husband, to bring back the person she likes.So the question is beyond doubt.

Baochai nodded.However, a second problem ensues. "After this incident, Sister Bao, such a delicate and transparent person, kept her mouth shut and never mentioned this matter to anyone. Is it intentional favoritism, or does it feel that although they are absurd, they are also sympathetic?" Daiyu asked again .

This statement is strange.Baochai lives in Jia's mansion. She never leaves Daiyu where everyone pays attention and cares about everything. She always upholds the attitude of having nothing to do with herself. Don't say it's just two ignorant opera singers who play tricks. Huang's trick is to pretend that Baochai doesn't know anything about the maids' affairs, stealing and other inappropriate things.

But under Daiyu's watchful eyes, Baochai couldn't deny her denial, so she nodded again.

"Since coming to Jia's mansion, everyone has said that elder sister Bao is valued by her aunt, and rumors of gold and jade have been rumored for a while. But I looked at each other coldly, but I saw that my elder sister deliberately stayed away from Baoyu. If it weren't for this, what happened today would not have happened. Sister What are you thinking in your heart? Is it because you have scruples, or...or is there someone else you like in your heart?"

Both are.Both are.It is because he is worried about Daiyu and doesn't want her to be caught in the middle of it, but also because he has no feelings for Baoyu at all, and there is someone else he likes, but he can't tell it.

Baochai remained silent, but for some reason, Daiyu seemed to read her heart from Baochai's expression: "Is the person my sister likes a woman?"

This was Baochai's most embarrassing moment.She didn't know how to answer.However, Daiyu's question has been thrown out again: "Is this woman my sister likes someone I know?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Baochai finally made up his mind, and replied with a smile, "Whoever you know or don't know, it's all nonsense. Is my sister still awake?"
