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

In fact, Baochai's warning to Xue Biao to wait and see what happens has another meaning.The Mei family sounds like a Hanlin family with a scholarly family, but in fact it is by no means a good match.

After Baoqin's father died in the previous life, the Mei family began to deliberately delay the marriage.Later, Xue Biao brought his younger sister Baoqin to Beijing in a hurry, and he didn't hesitate to show his face. He invited people from Jia's house to talk about it, but they couldn't shake the Mei family's heart of retiring the engagement.Baoqin's looks and talent are naturally one in a million, but the Mei family dislikes the poor and loves the rich, so they watch people order dishes.

It turned out that Baoqin's family had separated from Xue Pan's family as early as his father's generation. It turned out that Baoqin's father was handsome and smart when he was alive. Unexpectedly, Baoqin's father died young, and Xue Biao was young, unable to support the appearance for a while, and could no longer help the Mei family.The Mei family naturally cooled down.At first, it was hindered by relatives in Jia's family, not daring to publicly regret the marriage, just looking for excuses to procrastinate, and later when the Jia family fell, they wanted to see it poorly.

At that time, there were all kinds of turmoil caused by the divorce, and even Baochai, a bystander, couldn't help being angry.It's a pity that she is a boudoir woman, and all the glory and humiliation come from her husband's family. Now that Jia's family has declined, she has all kinds of abilities, and she is powerless to recover.But in the end, Feng Shui took turns, and within a few years, the Mei family also committed a crime, which is really a good reincarnation.

Today, Baochai's vision and heart are different from those in the past.Bao Qin is her most beloved sister. Since a woman's honor, disgrace, wealth and life are all tied to her husband's family, wouldn't the so-called women's morality that is consistent all the time be harmful?She should have a good discussion with Bao Qin and choose a good match for her.

Baochai took Xue Biao to see the house, Xue Biao couldn't help being grateful, and rushed to pick up his mother with his servants.Here, Aunt Xue sent someone to tell Baochai that the Jia family already knew about Baoqin's entry to Beijing, and asked Baochai to take Baoqin to see her.

Baochai had no choice but to take her there.In the previous life, Baoqin was very close to Jia's mother. Jia's mother said that she wanted to keep Baoqin by her side, and she also said that she wanted to force Mrs. Wang to recognize her as a goddaughter.As a result, it was rumored in Jia's mansion that Jia's mother intended to hire Baoqin for Baoyu.Firstly, he wanted to shake the mountain and tell Aunt Xue that he had no intentions of Baochai, but secondly, he really loved Baoqin.This is the law of personal fate and cannot be forced.

Sure enough, Jia Mu was very happy to see Baoqin in this life.But at this time, Baoyu and Daiyu's marriage has gradually surfaced. In order to avoid misunderstanding, Jia's mother can't be too warm to Baoqin, but she still asks Baoqin to stay in the Grand View Garden.

"Your sister is a person who does big things. She goes in and out all day long. People in the capital admire her. She wants to move out, but my wife dare not stop her. I was still complaining to her mother a few days ago, I said I haven't seen your sister for a few days, and I was thinking about her. Now that you are here, you just fill in the gap and stay with me." Jia Mu said.

Tanchun was really happy to see Mother Jia, but she was also a scheming person. She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Sister Bao's Hengwu Garden is certainly empty, but Sister Qin is new here, so it is inevitable that she is not familiar with everything. Anyway, my Qiushuangzhai house is also big, and my sister Qin lives there, what do the old ancestors think?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "It will be more harmonious in this way."

So Baoqin stayed in Tanchun's Qiushuangzhai, and went with Tanchun to greet Jia Mu every day.She is young, smart, and has Tanchun to help her. Although she did not have the grand scene of spoiling Daiyu in her previous life, the servants who heard the wind is rain at that time still couldn't help spreading some gossip. .

Because of his lack of money, Tanchun once made some embroidery and entrusted Baochai to sell it in the shop.On this day, Baochai came into the Grand View Garden to give her money quietly, and happened to see Baoqin. The two sisters said a few words, and then they talked about Baoqin's mother's condition. The husband planned to go to see a doctor tomorrow, and Baoqin said that he wanted to go with Baochai.

The two sisters talked for a long time, and chatted with Tanchun for a while, before Baochai left in a hurry, thinking about his own worries, so he didn't bother to pay attention to the way.After passing Qinfang Pavilion, I saw that the green bamboo road in front of me was not out of the garden, but leading to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Baochai couldn't help but stop, smiled wryly, lowered her head and thought for a while, but she didn't dare to see more, turned around, and walked another way.After passing through the boundary of Zilingzhou, I suddenly heard Lin Daiyu's voice faintly.Afraid that she had heard it wrong, Baochai slowed down and listened attentively, but found that Lin Daiyu was standing there with a flower pick under the flower tree in front of her. She thought she had just buried the flowers, and there were still tears on her face.Zijuan was chattering beside her, and vaguely mentioned Baochai's name.

At this time, Baochai was neither advancing nor retreating, so he simply stood still and listened to her detailed talk, but he heard what Zijuan said: "In theory, slaves should also persuade girls. Although it is good for sisters to be together, in the end They should be separated. Although the girl wholeheartedly treats Miss Bao as her own sister, she is lucky. As soon as her front foot left, she sent a Qin girl in on her back foot, and she was favored by the old lady. Not long ago, I heard that the old lady Madam intends to point Miss Qin to Second Master Bao. The girl and Second Master Bao are discussing marriage, so wouldn't they be ridiculed?"

Lin Daiyu said: "Zicuckoo, I'm tired too, you go back first. I'll be alone for a while."

Zicuckoo had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Baochai hid behind a flowering tree, and saw Zijuan slanting down the hillside along the opposite path, and gradually walked away, so she let out a long breath, and wanted to turn around to leave, but when she looked up, she saw Daiyu fixed on her face. looking at her.

Baochai had no choice but to show up. "I just passed by here by accident. I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

Daiyu stared at her blankly: "I know."

Baochai said again: "Qin'er... Baoqin just went to Beijing with her elder brother to join me. I didn't want her to enter the garden, but what the old lady said was too reasonable and I couldn't refute it for a while. It's just...it's just that Qin'er has promised She went to Beijing this time, firstly to get married, and secondly to treat her mother's illness."

Daiyu still looked at her like that: "I know."

Not knowing why, Baochai panicked.She had no choice but to find something to say: "Qin'er's marriage was told by her father a few years ago, and the family she mentioned was Mei Hanlin's family. It's just that her father passed away last winter, and the Mei family's attitude was a little vague. Therefore, Her elder brother brought her to the capital, and when the filial piety period is over, they will discuss the matter of marriage."

"So that's the case." Daiyu said softly, "Why does the daughter's family have to get married?"

Her words reached Baochai's heart.Baochai also had this question.It's just that he doesn't want to spoil her, so he always deliberately uses some upright reasons to prevaricate in front of her.

At this moment when she was questioned face to face, Baochai was speechless and flustered, so he had to say something meaningless: "I have something to say to you, but you must not pass it on to others. I always feel that Qin'er's This marriage is not good, and I intend to find a good family with her who truly loves and respects her. It's just that this matter needs a long-term plan and careful planning."

Daiyu nodded and said, "You have always been a good sister. I know it."

This was originally just an ordinary sentence, but for some reason, when Baochai heard this, the sense of relief and joy in his heart could not be restrained.She slightly avoided Daiyu's probing eyes, and hurriedly said: "You... since you know that Qin'er's matter is definitely not my intention, I am relieved."

As Baochai was talking, she wanted to slip away, when suddenly she heard Daiyu say softly: "Sister Bao, I actually know all about it. When my grandmother saw me yesterday, she secretly told me that the matter of giving the marriage has been decided, that is, What happened in the past two months. I can't tell Zijuan about this, so she has random suspicions. Don't take it to heart."

When Baochai heard this, he felt a thousand emotions in his heart for a while.There was also talk about the marriage for less than half a year, Baochai knew it well, she knew she should be happy for her, but for some reason, it added a lot of confusion and sadness.

"It's so... that's great..." Baochai forced a smile.

Daiyu looked at her deeply, her probing gaze went all the way into her eyes: "Sister Bao, do you really think this is very good?"

Baochai just felt embarrassing. "Okay, of course it's good." She said insincerely, "Brother Bao and you grew up together, and they have similar temperaments. We are familiar with each other. He has always spoiled and respected you, which is normal." The parents-in-law, elder sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law who are bothering others, can only die when they come to you. If you marry such a family, what's wrong with it?"

Daiyu said: "But what if I have someone else I like?"

Baochai was shocked, and almost suspected that her ears had heard it wrong.But when she looked back at Daiyu, seeing the look in Daiyu's eyes, she knew she had heard correctly.Her heart was also beating wildly. "Who?" She said in a trembling voice, and felt that she was too eager for a moment, so she softened her tone a little, "Sister, you must be joking. If you really have time, you might as well tell me, so that I can be a staff member with you. "

Now it was Daiyu's turn to be silent.She hesitated for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "I'm joking. Could it be that Sister Bao is serious? I'm afraid that if I say so, Sister Bao will laugh at me again."

Baochai said in a low voice, "When have I ever laughed at you?"

Daiyu didn't answer, but looked up at the blossoming trees, and suddenly asked with a smile: "My marriage is like this now. My sister is running around all day, and she has big ideas in her heart. Have you made a promise?"
