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

There is a long way from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden to the residence of the Xue family in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion.

Two women holding lamps walked in front with bright tile lanterns, but Yinger held a glass hydrangea lantern in her hand and waited in front of Baochai. I got these glass hydrangea lamps from outside and gave them to Miss Lin, Third Miss, and Second Master Bao. They all said that they are easy to use. Second Master Bao has seen the world on weekdays. I'm so happy, according to Mingyan's message, Second Master Bao kept the lamp on the shelf, and usually said that he was afraid of falling, so he didn't even dare to use it."

Baochai said lightly: "I know that your mother and Mingyan's mother have a good personal relationship, and they have always gotten along very well. But when talking on weekdays, there must always be taboos, what should be said, what should not be said, don't let it go People spread the misunderstanding!"

Ying'er lowered her head and thought for a while, then bit her lips and said, "I know what you mean. You are not saying that my mother and Mingyan's mother are talking privately. You are clearly beating me. But the girl hides everything like this. In my heart, there is no way.”

Baochai didn't wait for her to finish, she quickly looked around, and said loudly to the two women in front of her: "You wait at the gate of the garden first. I will come with Yinger as soon as I go."

The two women only thought that Baochai and Ying'er had the idea of ​​playing occasionally, or that they were going to sit with others. They were all well-acquainted by Baochai. Without even asking, he answered yes respectfully, walked forward and waited at the gate of the garden.

Seeing that there was no one around here, Baochai reprimanded Ying'er in a cold voice, "Did you eat something unclean today and hit the evil spirits? You were talking nonsense in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion just now. Where are you?" What are you talking about? Miss Lin is about to be engaged to Brother Bao, and she has always been careful. If you teach her to hear it, what will she think in her heart? Now I just took the opportunity to hit you with a few words, and you will refute me and let Irrelevant people heard it and spread it, wouldn't it be spreading rumors and destroying people's reputation?"

Ying'er was so anxious that she knelt down on the ground: "It was because Miss Lin was about to be engaged to Brother Bao that Ying'er became anxious and lost her position all of a sudden. Ying'er didn't know how the girl treated Miss Lin at first, but Doubtful, seeing the girl working so hard to look after the house for Miss Lin today, and seeing the situation of Nanny Sun and Mr. Yao, what else does Yinger not know? The girl is always cautious and refuses to say anything , Didn’t you suffer yourself in the end? It’s better to just say it out and ask for a solution. It’s refreshing. Even if Miss Lin doesn’t mean it, it can be regarded as a quick knife to cut the mess and break the girl’s thoughts. With a character like a girl, private There may be many people who admire you, so why bother yourself?"

Baochai's heart trembled violently.She has always been good at covering up, and in her previous life she was very good at covering up, until when Daiyu ran out of oil, outsiders thought she liked Baoyu, and they just had no choice but to love Daiyu.Even Ying'er, who served her day and night, didn't start to get confused until she and Daiyu became Jinlan sisters.But now, before she and Daiyu became Jinlan sisters, Yinger spotted her early.

"Get up," Baochai said to Ying'er, "You don't understand many things..."

But Ying'er was stubborn and refused to get up: "I don't understand what. To put it bluntly, Second Master Bao is better than a girl besides being a handlebar. Why..." These words are really vulgar. It's not like she, a personal maid who serves the ladies like her, can tell it. She was already blushing in the middle of the talk.But the meaning of what she said has been clearly and unmistakably expressed.

In her previous life, Baochai lived on the street until the end. She had never experienced any hardships, and never seen any human feelings. She was not hypocritical and didn't care about these things with her. , you haven’t understood yet, but based on that item, he is naturally stronger than us! Even if we don’t think so in our hearts, but everyone outside thinks so, what can we do?”

While arguing, they saw a faint light coming from a distance.Then came a woman's voice: "Could it be Miss Bao in front?"

Baochai had always been thoughtful, and when she heard the voice, she knew it was Aunt Zhao, so she whispered to Yinger, and Yinger stood up quickly.The master and the servant greeted Aunt Zhao and said hello to Aunt Zhao. She wanted to exchange a few words and then left with an excuse, but Aunt Zhao was sticky and refused to let go. In the end, she asked the maid who served her to stand by the road and lowered her voice to Baochai said, "Miss Bao, please take a step to speak."

Baochai has always known that Aunt Zhao is stupid and black-hearted. Not long ago, it was Aunt Zhao who colluded with Ma Daopo and cursed Sister Feng and Jia Baoyu.It's a pity that pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, this kind of thing can't be investigated in detail, so she escaped unharmed.It's just that this kind of person, limited by his background and knowledge, is inevitably narrow-minded. She can't achieve success, but it is quite difficult to push you at a critical moment and slander you once.It is precisely to offend a gentleman rather than a villain.

Then Baochai stopped and listened carefully to Aunt Zhao with a smile on her face.But Aunt Zhao looked Yinger up and down first, and said with a smile: "If I read it correctly, this is Yinger. Why did she kneel on the ground, what did she do wrong?"

Ying'er was not angry, and was about to argue, Baochai knew the situation in advance, gave her a quick wink, and said to Aunt Zhao: "My aunt is watching carefully, just now I lost a pearl flower, and Ying'er was looking for it on the ground. Aunt has nothing to do at night, strolling in the garden?"

Aunt Zhao was shallow-sighted at first, but when she heard Baochai say that Zhuhua was gone, she paid attention to it.She had always heard people say that Baochai's family was rich in the tens of millions, so she expected that the things on her body were all good. The pearls that Yinger, Baochai's personal servant girl, could find on the ground regardless of the night were worth a lot.Thinking of this, she made up her mind that after Baochai left, she would look for it on the ground, and if she found it, it would be a pleasure to exchange money from the pawnshop.At that moment, he temporarily suppressed this thought, but said to Baochai: "Although I came here at night and wandered around in the garden, it is always fate to meet you. Speaking of which, I have something to look for you, can I borrow a word? "

Baochai saw Aunt Zhao's nondescript words, and saw that she repeatedly emphasized "let me speak", but she couldn't bear to give her face, so she walked with her to a secluded place, and before she could speak, she listened to her ask : "Now I hear rumors in the garden that Brother Bao and Sister Lin have settled down. I think the girl is a year or two older than them, but I don't know what is going on with the girl's life?"

Baochai was very surprised.No matter how unbearable Aunt Zhao was, she was still an aunt of the fifth-rank official and lived in the dignified Rongguo Mansion, so she would say such a reckless thing to an unmarried official lady.She knew that Aunt Zhao hadn't read any books and her standard was limited, so she was accommodating in every possible way, but unexpectedly, she still thought highly of her.

Baochai didn't know what to say for a while, so she could only keep silent.But Aunt Zhao thought she was shy and proud of herself, so she quickly took her hand and said: "A few days ago, I heard that the girl has told the old lady, madam, that she is going to leave this garden. I was shocked. It was Grandma's previous concubine, that Yao who was the one who made the trouble. I know you have been wronged, girl! But now that you have left this garden, what should you do with the girl's life?"

Baochai was annoyed and amused at the same time.That day because of Ma Daopo's matter, Yao Jing made such a fuss, and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess came forward to speak for her, although it left some hidden dangers, but after this incident, the entire Jia Mansion, from Shi Taijun and Mrs. Wang, down to the maids and servants Mother-in-law, who dares to say that she is not a word?There are some rumors that she has an ambiguous relationship with the eldest princess, and I'm afraid it's said in an envious tone when there is no one in private.Qianxue had learned it in front of her before, and it was so vivid that it made people laugh.

However, what Aunt Zhao said was unspoken, as if she didn't know that the eldest princess had spoken for her. Could it be that she thought that Baochai had no choice but to be kicked out because of Yao Jing's success in framing Baochai? Grand View Garden?

Aunt Zhao's words didn't stop: "My family, Huan'er, is a few years younger than Baoyu and a concubine, but she is a scheming person, and she is quite serious about studying on weekdays. Miss Bao, you are a sensible person. Don't look at Baoyu's current situation. The old lady and the wife dote on him, but when the old lady drives to Hexi and the family is divided in this mansion, he is nothing. The wife just eats fast and recites Buddha every day, and the master will not go to her. In the future, this The family business may not be inherited by Huan'er."

Baochai was stunned.From Aunt Zhao's point of view, do you think this is a self-recommendation, and you want to tell her about your son Jia Huan?But Jia Huan is younger than Tanchun, and Tanchun is younger than Baoyu. When Baochai looks at Jiahuan, he just feels childish. How can this be?

In fact, in the previous life, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan also had similar ideas.

At that time, it was two years later than now. Daiyu had just passed away, and when she was dying, she entrusted Baoyu to Baochai. , Said that he wanted to marry her.Baochai was very disdainful at that time.

Leaving aside the inappropriate age, Baochai knew Jia Huan's character.Jia Huan didn't learn well when he was a child, and he was jealous that Baoyu was a son-in-law. Everyone doted on Baoyu, so he dared to pour oily candles on Baoyu's face.This person followed Aunt Zhao again, with a narrow nature and caring about petty gains.Once playing dice with Ying'er, he opened his eyes and talked nonsense, ignoring Ying'er's money.Jia Huan is also cool by nature, and he has a good time with Caiyun and Caixia in Mrs. Wang's house, but he just let go after playing and getting tired of playing. Son, died not long after.

Whether it is Aunt Zhao or Jia Huan, why are they so confident that Baochai will choose to marry Jia Huan?In the previous life, Baochai would rather choose to marry Jia Baoyu, respecting each other like ice, in name only, Baochai naturally does not want to marry Jia Baoyu in this life, but she would rather not marry than choose such a person.

"My aunt talks like that, but I don't understand. Marriage matters are decided by parents. I think Brother Huan will find a good marriage for him when he grows up, but why worry?" Baochai In the end, looking at Tanchun's face, he persuaded him with a good temper.

Ying'er carried the lantern, and Baochai had already walked a long way, and she could still hear Aunt Zhao laughing in the dark as if venting her anger: "A dog bites Lu Dongbin, and you don't know a good heart. You are so old, if you don't marry Huan'er, But which one do you want to marry? I want to see, which one can you marry in the future?"

Ying'er was in a hurry, and she had already talked about this point, but she didn't hear what was said before, and she already guessed what happened at this time.She wanted to go back and argue with Aunt Zhao, but Baochai stopped her.Do you want to go back and bite the dog after being bitten by a dog?No one heard about this matter, but if there is a quarrel, everyone's face will be disgraceful.

"I... I'm not worth it just because of the girl..." Ying'er couldn't help but said with tears.

But Baochai didn't feel anything in his heart.Most of the world is laity.Where is the fun in their reviews?
