After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

"My poor girl!" Baoqin couldn't help crying.

But Yuanchun laughed.

She smiled and picked up the veil on the bed, raised her face holding the piano, wiped her tears carefully and gently, and said with a smile: "My good sister, don't cry, you make me feel uncomfortable .”

Baoqin choked up and said: "I'm crying for the girl, I know the girl is suffering."

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "We have passed the days in the palace. No matter what happens now, can it be worse than being in the palace? I am a high-ranking female official. No matter what they do, they dare not send me to the temple go."

Yuan Chun's smile was slightly cold, but he already had a plan in his heart: "In this mansion, the most important thing is to save face. I, an old girl, will not be allowed to stay at home for a long time. I have to find a husband's house for me. At that time, I can If you decide, I will find you a good family."

''I don't want to leave the girl. ''I'm in a hurry to hold the piano,''I have followed the girl since I was a child. If I leave the girl, I don't know how to live. ''

''Silly girl, what a silly girl. ''Yuan Chun embraced Baoqin, with tears in his eyes, "A person like me is probably going to be someone else's stepmother. If the former spouse doesn't have a son, that's all. Life is not easy. You have suffered with me for so many years, how can I have the heart for you to continue to suffer?"

Baoqin said: "Then I will follow the girl even more! We have been inseparable since childhood, how can I watch the girl suffer and suffer alone?"

Seeing what Yuan Chun wanted to say, Baoqin hurriedly said: "Girl, don't need to say more, I'm a cow, and I'm born stubborn."

''Okay, okay, okay,'' Yuan Chun smiled helplessly, ''Then we will be sisters for the rest of our lives. ''

Only then did Baoqin smile through his tears: "Then I will depend on the girl for the rest of my life."

******

When Baochai's rouge shop opened, a major event happened in Jinling City.

——The prefect Jia Hua was imprisoned by the eldest prince for being greedy and cool. It is said that the eldest prince has reported to the Holy Majesty to cut off all of Jia Hua's reputation and bring him back to Beijing, where he will be handed over to Dali Temple for punishment.Lin Ruhai, the censor of Yangzhou who once recommended Jia Hua, went to Beijing to defend himself.

Hearing this news, Baochai was in a trance, and then remembered the person she had subconsciously dared not think about since she was reborn.

——Lin Daiyu.

In any case, Baochai felt that Daiyu died because of her, and she could not shirk this responsibility, and she had no intention of shirking it.The person she was most ashamed of in her life was Lin Daiyu, and the person she had the least courage to face was also Lin Daiyu.

Sister Lin died of depression because she married Baoyu; Baoyu left home because of Sister Lin's death;

The life of the three of them was entangled, as if they were three kite strings whose path had been determined by someone, and it would not be considered over until all three of them were entangled.

Baochai didn't dare to think of Sister Lin, so why not because she had lingering fears about what happened in her previous life?

But some people, some things, are destined to be unavoidable.

Even if she avoided the fate of going to the capital and meeting Baoyu and Daiyu, she still couldn't avoid this person and these things.

Baochai sighed, and finally listened to his father's analysis of the situation the next day. When it came to Lin Ruhai, he asked sister Lin: "My lord, I heard that Mrs. Lin has a daughter who lives in the Rongguo Mansion. Is there such a thing?" ?”

Although Xue Duan didn't understand why his daughter suddenly mentioned Lin Ruhai's daughter, there was nothing he couldn't say about it, so he nodded and talked about Lin Ruhai's entanglement with the Rongguo Mansion: "Xianrong Guogong Shangong has two sons and four sons. Daughter, only the fourth daughter is the prostitute daughter and the youngest child, so she is very fond of herself. This aunt has reached the age of marriage, and the good man chooses thousands of choices, and chooses the Tanhualang of the year, that is, Lin Hai. This Lin Hai's daughter is the only blood of this aunt. Two years ago, this aunt died of illness. Lin Hai had no intention of remarrying, and was afraid that her daughter would be left alone, so she was sent to Beijing to be taught by her grandmother. .”

Baochai said with pity: "This Miss Lin lost her mother at such a young age, and her father is not around. It's really pitiful."

Xue Pan smiled and said, "What's so pitiful? She went to her ancestral home, and she has a cousin who is about the same age. It can't be said, the two families are trying to get married!"

Baochai frowned: "That would be even worse!"

Xue Pan wondered: "If Miss Lin marries into the Rongguo Mansion, she will have her grandmother to support her. I don't know how smooth life will be. Why is it bad?"

Baochai rolled his eyes at him, then turned to ask Xue Duan, "Master, is that cousin who is about the same age as Miss Lin, the son of my aunt?"

Xue Duan nodded: "It's your aunt's youngest son, Baoyu, who was born with jade."

Baochai snorted, and rarely showed disgust: "I heard from my mother that my aunt's son likes to eat the rouge on the maid's mouth at a young age. It can be seen that he is a greedy and lustful person. Is it a good match?"

Xue Pan spat and advised his younger sister: "You are a little girl, don't talk about sex and lust, this is not what you should say."

Baochai smiled shyly, and said coquettishly, "I'm talking about our own flesh and blood. In front of outsiders, I know the rules best."

Xue Duan said: "It's okay. According to me, the daughter's family should know more, so that no random man can be coaxed in the future."

He glanced at Xue Pan and said: "The rules and regulations are for outsiders to see. I taught people to pressure you to learn the rules, in order to look good on the outside, not to let you rule over your wife, children and sisters at home. "

"Ah?" Xue Pan scratched his head in confusion.

He was born with a straight heart and a naive temper. He was a guy who didn't know how to turn a corner until he hit a wall.In the past, his parents pampered and pampered him, so he was naturally fearless.

Later, his father pressured him to learn skills and manners, so he only knew how to listen to his father, and if he couldn't learn it, he had to study hard, which was quite effective.Recently, when he went out with his father, not only the people he met praised him, but even his father, who had never been optimistic about him, said that he had grown up.

Therefore, Xue Pan regarded the learned manners as the golden rule.

However, listening to his father's tone today, it doesn't seem to be the case?

Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Xue Duan shook his head and sighed: "You, you...that's all, you just need to know that you don't need to talk about so many rules with your own family."

"Oh." Xue Pan replied in a daze, but he still didn't quite understand how much he should say without needing to say so much.

Seeing that the topic was going off topic, Baochai hurriedly pulled it back: "Master, in my daughter's opinion, why don't you write a letter so that Master She can tell Mr. Lin about Baoyu?"

Xue Duan was puzzled: "Our family has nothing to do with the Lin family. Who does his daughter marry has anything to do with our family?"

Of course it doesn't matter.

It's just that Baochai felt that Baoyu was not a responsible person, and couldn't bear sister Lin to fall into this big pit.

But in this life, she has nothing to do with Sister Lin, so it is definitely not acceptable to say that.

Baochai's brain turned sharply, and she really found a reasonable excuse.

"I heard from the master that Mr. Lin is a flower in the court. He must have many classmates, the same subject, and the same year. These are all connections. If Baoyu is asked to marry Sister Lin, these connections in the Lin family will naturally be tilted to the bottom. Baoyu and Uncle."

Baochai paused and asked, "Master, does this have something to do with our family?"

Xue Duan stroked his father's hand for a while, and couldn't help but straighten his expression.

——The Xue family and the Jia family's second bedroom have been completely torn apart.If you beat a snake, you will not die, but you will be harmed by it.Naturally, he didn't want the second bedroom of Jia's family to have the slightest chance of turning over.

"My son is right, I will write a book for Brother She right now."

This letter must arrive in Beijing ahead of Lin Ruhai.Come to think of it, Brother She knew what to do after receiving the letter.

******

Because Xue Duan had no social gatherings today, the whole family got together and had dinner affectionately.Xue Wang was very happy, and directed the cooks to cook dishes that the children liked, boiled nourishing soup, and set a large table full.

Having experienced the ups and downs of the Rongguo Mansion in her previous life, Baochai felt that it was too extravagant.But seeing her mother's high nature, she couldn't bear to disobey her.

Anyway, soon, mother will definitely let her learn to be the director of the family.At that time, she felt that something was wrong, so she just cut it off slowly.

Xue Duan has always believed that rules are for outsiders to see.Therefore, there is no such thing as "eating without speaking" when eating with their own family members.

Mrs. Xue Wang brought food for the father and son, and asked Xue Pan: "Didn't your master teach you a business alone? How is it?"

Xue Pan said: "I don't know why there is a huge demand for wood and stone bonsai in the capital recently. According to my sister's idea, I made bonsai with leftovers from jewelry and pearls of poor quality. It’s also a unique rarity. Those who buy it hardly bargain, they pay first-hand the first-hand goods.”

Seeing that her son was promising, Xue Wang smiled from ear to ear: "My son has really grown up. Come on, this is your favorite sheep and scorpion, eat more."

"Hey, thank you, Mom." Xue Pan smiled, feeling a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's all thanks to my sister. If she hadn't asked her for advice, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

Xue Wang was even happier: "Your brother and sister are in harmony, which is better than anything else!" He took Baochai's serving chopsticks and picked up some stir-fried magnolia slices, "Come, chai'er likes to eat the most."

Baochai also said, "Thank you, Mom."

"Cough!" Xue Duan cleared his throat and kept looking at the pigeon soup on the table.

Mrs. Xue gave him a look, and amusedly served a bowl of pigeon soup with her own hands: "Master's favorite soup, you should use more."

"Yeah." Xue Duan nodded reservedly, "Madam has worked hard."

Xue Pan and Baochai looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little supportive.
