Lin Ze's smile was not much different from usual, it was still so gentle and light, but what he said with a smile made Shui Zhan's heart almost cracked.
He said: "Third Highness, grassroots dare not climb high."
I haven't seen him since that day.Up to now, it has been more than ten days.
"Brother, are you going to the street again today?" Lin Lan stood by the table blinking, staring closely at the stack of pastries on the table, looking almost drooling.
Lin Ze couldn't help being amused, so he asked Qingmei to bring some snacks for Lin Lan to eat, and said with a smile on his face, "Why did you come to me to ask me if I could go to the street? You obviously wanted to eat these snacks. You're so greedy." Carefully, you broke your teeth!" He laughed and said, "Even your sister likes this snack, take some for your sister when you leave."
Lin Lan nodded in agreement, and seeing Qingmei handing him a handkerchief with a smile, she quickly took it and wiped her mouth, and said with a smile, "Sister Qingmei is better." Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Second Master , the weather is getting hotter, don't take off your clothes too quickly, you know?"
Lin Ze was listening to the two of them talking, but he couldn't get rid of the image of Shui Zhan's pale face that was fixed in his heart that day in the academy.The faint pain in his heart made Lin Ze look a little bad.
"Master, Second Master Bao is here."
Lin Ze was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Come in, please." Then he smiled and said to Bai Shao and Bai Shu: "You two sent Lan'er to Yu'er, there are foreigners coming here, it is inevitable to collide." Bai Shao He Baishu responded with a smile, one took Lin Lan's little hand, and the other went to Daiyu with a food box.
Qingmei took the tea off the table and re-brewed light scented tea, before it was served on the table, Jia Baoyu rushed in rashly.Seeing Lin Ze sitting at the table looking at him with a smile on his face, he blushed and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, I'm here to see you."
Lin Ze smiled and let him sit down, and then asked Qingmei to serve Baoyu the tea. Seeing Baoyu looking at Qingmei with smiling eyes, he coughed lightly, interrupting Baoyu's gaze.Seeing Baoyu's face flushed again, he just smiled and said, "Second cousin, are you here for business?"
Baoyu laughed first and said, "Brother Lin's words are too sad for me. Could it be that you can't come if you have nothing to do?" Then he laughed and said, "Brother Lin is really comfortable here. It's strange that Cousin Lin doesn't come to us much. It’s gone there, isn’t it, the beautiful trees here are verdant and pleasant, it’s much better than mine!”
Hearing what he said, Lin Ze just laughed and said nothing.The place where he lives is the old man's retirement home, and the natural environment is quiet and pleasant.As for what Jia Baoyu said about him, Lin Ze smiled, and he couldn't answer well no matter what.Firstly, it was he himself who rejected Jia Mu's idea, and secondly, it was also because there were senior and respectable elders living there, and it was not his turn to judge good or bad as a junior.
Jia Baoyu lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in his hand, then opened his eyes and asked, "What kind of tea is this? I've never tasted it before." He looked up to look at the green plums, but there was no shadow of green plums in the room.
Lin Ze saw that there seemed to be doubts in his brows, so he smiled and explained: "Sister Qingmei has something to do, so I'm going out first." In fact, Qingmei didn't want to see Jia Baoyu very much, and she felt a headache when she heard him talking, so he kept going. After coming in, he sat down to talk to Lin Ze, and immediately signaled to Lin Ze to go out.
Jia Baoyu suddenly lost his way: "Sister Qingmei's good looks should be in our house." After speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he quickly raised his head and said to Lin Ze: "Brother Lin, I, I am clumsy, you do not be angry."
Lin Ze thought: I want to be angry, and I still have endless anger, who wants to talk to you!But at the moment, he only chuckled, and said: "The girls in your family are all beautiful, no better than ours. Hu Dahai is used to it." Baoyu blushed when he said this, and although he wanted to refute, he flinched in the end I just bowed my head and drank tea without saying a word.
Lin Ze was happy and quiet. Who likes to chat with Jia Baoyu? It's not like he does everything.
The sound of cup lids clinking was heard in the room for a while, although Lin Ze thought it was nice to be quiet, but... Glancing at Jia Baoyu who was drinking tea, Lin Ze sighed silently in his heart.It's strange that this person can be quiet here!Sure enough, before Lin Ze's mental activity took too long, Jia Baoyu couldn't sit still, and only heard him laughing: "Brother Lin, this tea tastes refreshing, what is it made of?"
Lin Ze glanced at the flowers and leaves in the tea bowl, and only smiled and said, "You shouldn't ask me about this, I didn't make the tea, you should ask the person who made the tea."
When Baoyu heard this, he also felt that this should be the case, and wanted to ask Qingmei, but Qingmei was not there, so he bowed his head and remained silent.
Lin Ze glanced at him, saw his eyes flickering, and thought: Jia Baoyu must be here for something.But it's hard to speak, so I just dawdled and didn't say anything.However, it's not his turn to worry about anything, is it?Anyway, if Jia Baoyu didn't open his mouth, my young master wouldn't be so kind as to hit him with the muzzle of the gun himself.
When the tea in Master Lin Ze's hand was about to bottom out, Lin Ze finally heard Jia Baoyu speak.
"Brother Lin, what's the fun in the house all day, why don't we go shopping in the street today?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Although we are at home, we are not idle after all. Second cousin, look at how many books are on the table that I haven't read yet." After speaking, he pointed to the book on the desk. A thick stack of books.He turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu and said with a smile, "Second Cousin, have you finished all your studies?"
Jia Baoyu's face flushed, he couldn't speak, and seeing Lin Ze smiling at him, he panicked with embarrassment.It's just that when I think of what Big Brother Xue said, I find it interesting and novel.So he suppressed all the embarrassment in his heart first, and only said: "Brother Lin, there is no day when you can finish the book, and you will be suffocated if you stay in the house and read all day long." He smiled and said: "I begged the old lady to let me go out to play for a while, and I came to look for you because I thought that cousin Lin would be bored in the room all day."
Lin Ze glanced at him and said in his heart: Thank you for thinking about me so much!Don't forget to pick me up when you go out to hang out!
Even though he was thinking this way, his face didn't show it, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was a bit confused: "Oh, you don't know, I also felt a little bored, but when I went out, where did I go? , if you don’t want to think about how many places outside there are not much fun for us, it’s better to just walk around at home.”
Hearing this, Baoyu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, but he couldn't say anything, so he blurted out in a hurry: "Brother Lin, it turned out that Brother Xue cured a banquet, please let us go to play, don't refuse in a hurry .”
Lin Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that the girl Bao who was praised by everyone in the house had a brother like a domineering king.I heard that Xue Pan is now twelve or thirteen years old, and he does not seek to make progress every day, but only wants to enjoy himself.Thinking about it, he is also a dude, so don't take it to heart.
It doesn't matter if you go, but Lin Ze doesn't like Xue Baochai very much.There is no other reason, but Xue Baochai will make Daiyu unhappy every now and then.The Xue family wants to get together with the Jia family, he has no objection, but can you get together without his sister?Daiyu, a noble daughter's family, is going to be run over by Xue Baochai all day long?
Thinking of this, Lin Ze naturally had a bad face.Even he didn't like that idiot Xue whom he had never met before, let alone join him in his banquet.Then he just smiled and said: "It's really unfortunate, I don't feel well today, second cousin can go by himself, I just thank second cousin for remembering me in everything."
As he said that, he just thanked him with a smile, but he was about to give it away without even lifting his butt.
Baoyu's face is embarrassing, who are you kidding when you say that Lin Ze is not feeling well, he was smiling when he came in, but now he looks rosy when he looks at it.Does this make you feel uncomfortable?But what could Baoyu say, he could only sneer and say a few more words, and left in a self-defeating way.
Jia Baoyu was dismissed from this side, and Bai Guo, who had been in the corridor over there, came in and said with a smile: "Young lady sent someone here to invite you, sir, are you going?"
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Why don't you go?" As he said that, he straightened his clothes and was about to go out. It was obvious that Bai Guo's eyes were full of smiles, and he felt puzzled, so he asked, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about it?" , just tell me and let me listen."
Bai Guo covered her lips with a smile, and said: "I was afraid that the uncle would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't go to the girl. I was thinking about how to answer the girl, don't make the girl angry, and then I will talk about the uncle again." Meal."
Lin Ze also laughed, and said in a low voice: "Don't laugh at me, I've been with Yu'er for a long time, and even you are bullying me."
Hearing what he said, Bai Guo just smiled, but didn't reply.Seeing that Lin Ze didn't look angry, he smiled and said, "It turned out that the girl taught us well, so I should thank you, sir." Then he said with a smile: "My uncle has to go out every now and then. It's not thanks to the girl."
After laughing for two or three more sentences, she was already outside Daiyu's gate.Lin Ze looked up and saw the snow geese and blue cranes twirling on the porch, the oriole was feeding the thrush, but the ibis was standing aside with his face turned away, and the azalea was twisting the handkerchief and biting her lower lip, not knowing what she was thinking. .When they saw Lin Ze and Bai Guo coming, they stood up quickly to salute, Lin Ze also smiled and let them off, and seeing Zijuan's eye circles were red, for some reason, they just smiled and said: "It's getting hotter and hotter today. Well, it's still a bit cold after all, don't always sit on the porch."
Xueyan and Qinghe responded with a smile, and only said with a smile: "It is said that the uncle loves others, but others still don't believe it. Let's not sit here now." Licorice came out again and smiled and invited Lin Ze in, just saying "Miss has been waiting for you for a long time, but he just dawdles and refuses to come." Then, seeing Zijuan standing in the corridor blankly, she smiled and took Zijuan's hand and said, "Young lady said that the kitchen is stewing." There is white fungus soup, Sister Zijuan, let's get it, don't stand here and blow the wind."
As soon as Lin Zecai entered, he saw Daiyu was reading a book on the long couch, and Lin Lan was also writing on the small table, holding the pen with the cantilever in a very poised posture.Lin Ze twitched his lips and said with a smile: "The two of you are busy with your own business here, but you want me to come, what's the reason?"
Daiyu put the book down and said with a smile: "I won't call you, I don't know when you will come." Then, she glanced out and saw that Zijuan was not there, so she knew that it was licorice that took people away. up.Then he said again: "Why did you come to see you again? Do you think he has not enough right and wrong?"
Lin Ze knew she was talking about Jia Baoyu as soon as he heard it, and he said happily: "He is a rich and idle son, he is different from us." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Daiyu's cold snort, and laughed again "Don't pay attention to them, they are all people who have nothing to do with us."
Daiyu sneered and said, "Who cares about it, why should I care about it?" Seeing Lin Ze's faint smile, she couldn't help complaining, "I often think that we don't have a place to live in Beijing, so why should we live here? Let’s gossip a car.”
When Lin Ze heard this, his face turned cold, and he only asked, "Who made you angry?"
Seeing him like this, Daiyu didn't want the quarrel between the girls to make him angry, and if she said it, others would blame Lin Ze.He only avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "It's not because of this, but now seeing that there are guests living in my grandmother's house, it is very inconvenient for us here, it is better to move early."
What Daiyu said was not what Lin Ze thought, but... Lin Ze shook his head and said, "If we want to leave, my grandmother will definitely not agree."
Daiyu bit her lower lip.How could she not know, just listening to the maids and servants in the mansion praise that the girl from the Xue family is the most generous, it seems to be saying that the girl from the Lin family is not as good as the girl from the Xue family.I don't even think about it, how his Xue family is a merchant, even though he is rich and powerful, how he got into the eyes of the world.The strange way is at home, after the mother gave birth to Lan'er, she often said to herself that the grandfather's family is different from other families, the servants in the mansion are now all snobbish, they are only greedy for the cheap things they get, and they don't care about other things.
Seeing Lin Lan writing all the time, Lin Ze wondered when the child was so quiet.Leaning over to take a look, hey, hey, you shouldn't have high expectations for this little chubby guy.You can see that he is serious about writing, who would have imagined that he is posing here, and the other empty hand is busy eating the pastries under the table.
Lin Lan blinked at Lin Ze's dumbfounding expression, so she had to lower her head and adopt the policy of voluntarily admitting her mistakes.Seeing that pitiful look, Lin Ze felt ashamed to punish him, so he confiscated the plate of snacks, and said, "It's so opportunistic, I haven't had any snacks for two days."
Hearing this, Lin Lan was about to cry with a woo-wah, but her elder brother didn't dare to cry out because of his stern face.She had no choice but to whimper and ran to Daiyu to act like a spoiled child.Daiyu only smiled and patted his head, and said a few words of gentle persuasion, and finally persuaded Lin Lan's tears to go back.
Seeing that Lin Lan was going outside, Daiyu asked, "Where are you going?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Didn't Yu'er want to know when we can live in our own home? I'll go and see." Seeing Daiyu's eyes brighten up several times, Lin Ze only smiled and went outside.When he was going out, he happened to meet Licorice coming over with a cup of white fungus soup, Lin Ze smiled and said, "It's really hard for you to go back and forth."
Licorice just smiled and blessed Fushen, without saying anything, and went to Daiyu's room.On the other hand, Zicuckoo was in a trance and didn't know what she was thinking.
After Lin Ze left, Daiyu saw that Lin Lan was sleepy, so she smiled and asked Hong Xing and Qing Xing to take Lin Lan into the inner room, undress and sleep.Looking back, I saw licorice coming in with white fungus soup, followed by azalea with red eyes.Daiyu first smiled and asked Licorice to put the white fungus soup on the table, and only smiled and said to Zijuan: "What's the matter, your eye circles are red, but you were bullied?"
Zicuckoo glanced at the licorice, saw that the latter was only looking at her with a faint smile, quickly closed her eyes, lowered her eyebrows and said: "It turned out that I was sleepy last night and got up earlier in the morning, so I can't sleep." That's it." You Fushen said: "Thank you for your concern, Miss."
Daiyu gave a "hmm", turned her head and saw Licorice staring at Zicuckoo with a smile, she just pursed her lips and said, "Since you didn't rest well last night, today is nothing serious, you just go back and rest. No problem."
After Zicuckoo thanked her quickly, she went back to her room to rest without mentioning it.Daiyu looked at the licorice and said with a smile, "You must know what happened to her. Tell me about it."
Licorice came forward with a smile and said: "Young lady, I don't know. Yesterday we asked Zicuckoo to deliver something to Miss Fourth of Jia's Mansion. Who knew that she stayed for a long time and didn't come back until after dinner. Zhu Lu and the others They only left some food for her, and she complained non-stop. Toki, who lived in the same room as her, was always straightforward, so he said something to her, which made her cry One night."
Daiyu also wondered, "Even if Fourth Girl keeps her for a while longer, what is it worth?"
Licorice also laughed and said, "Isn't that true? It's the same reason. Who knows that they quarreled later and said something else. Zijuan only said that she went to Bao Erye's house, and that's why Time wasted."
Daiyu just sneered and said, "Where did you go, I told you."
" Zhu Lu laughed at her and said that the courtyard where the fourth lady lived was far away from the courtyard where the second master Bao lived. Who is to blame for leaving some leftovers from cold rice."
Daiyu said, "She was originally a girl from Jia's family, but she is different from ours. In the future, we will go to our house. If we can not take her with us, we can leave her behind."
Licorice nodded, and said in her heart: This Zicuckoo is also a big heart, no wonder the uncle told me several times to be careful.I also thought of the ibis' temperament, the knife-like mouth, which can also restrain the azalea.
After talking for a while, Mother Jia sent a maid over, saying that she would invite Miss Lin to talk.Daiyu went to Jia Mu's place, taking only green apricots and licorice, and left the green and red apricots in the house to look after them.
When she arrived at Jiamu's place, Daiyu found that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were also there. Daiyu only pursed her lips and saluted Jiamu, who hurriedly pulled her closer to sit down.He laughed again: "Auntie, where did we talk just now?"
Aunt Xue laughed and said: "The old lady is testing us. She said that the flowers in the garden in front are blooming. The old lady will find time to see them."
Jia Mu only smiled and said, "Yes, when people are old, they like to see some flowers and pinks." Then, she touched Daiyu's cheek again, and said with a smile, "According to me, it's full of flowers." The flowers in the garden are pink, but they can't compare to my Yu'er." Everyone in the room laughed, and Daiyu's face also flushed slightly.
Mrs. Wang laughed again and said, "I see that Bao girl is also very good-looking. Come and show me." As she spoke, she had already taken Baochai's hand.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's all you who praise her, how good it is." Then she smiled at Jiamu: "Old lady, don't bother me with my words. From what I can see, the girl in the house is very good." They are all the most beautiful!" Then he smiled and looked at Yuanyang and others standing behind Jia Mu, and said: "It is usually said that the old lady is the best at training people, and even the girls who serve the old lady are like everyone. It's like a young lady."
As soon as the words fell, Daiyu turned her face away, and the smile on Jiamu's face also faded a little.This is somewhat interesting, as if the girls and maids in their family are the same.Aunt Xue still didn't notice Jia Mu's displeasure, so Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "You also spoke too well of them, how can they compare with Debao girl."
Jia's mother also laughed and said: "Yes, from our family's four girls, none of them is better than your family's treasure girl." It is the difference between "our family" and "your family", and Aunt Xue still can't tell. Woolen cloth.
Aunt Xue covered her lips and smiled again, and said: "The old lady only praises her, I only love Miss Lin." As she spoke, she wanted to pull Daiyu to make out, but Mother Jia didn't let her go. hand.Aunt Xue withdrew her hand, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said with a smile, "When I see Miss Lin's appearance every day, I feel pity in my heart. It's not like Baochai in our family. She's just a little older." So I learned to help me share the burden, but I couldn't get in."
Mother Jia smiled, then glanced at Xue Baochai, who was being held by Mrs. Wang, then turned her head and touched Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "We are very envious of what my aunt said. All the girls in our family are No matter how old you are, you can share something. It's also my concubine's blessing to have such a capable daughter to help her."
These words made Aunt Xue's face stiffen, and she couldn't say anything.In terms of character and appearance, Baochai of her family is inferior to Miss Gonghou?The only thing that is criticized by dignitaries is his birth, what else is there!What the old lady said was too deceptive. Could it be that the young ladies in their family were all spoiled and brought up, and only Baochai of her family was responsible for the affairs of the family since she was a child?
Mrs. Wang just smiled and said: "Why did the eldest lady come so late today? She said she was afraid that the eldest lady would not feel well, so she dared not ask someone to invite her."
Aunt Xue also asked, "Why is Miss Lin not in good health? I can't tell."
Mrs. Wang covered her lips with a smile, and said to Aunt Xue: "You don't know, our eldest girl has been weak since she was born. She has been taking medicine for these years, so she is better." She laughed again: "It's just recently The weather has turned hot, but I don't know if the eldest girl is feeling a little unwell?"
When Daiyu's face turned cold and she was about to speak, Nanny Cui behind her laughed first, and said, "Second Madam is too worried, our girl's body has long since recovered. Why do I need medicine to support her? Let me tell you." It's too much to be laughed at." He blessed Jia's mother again, and said with a smile: "It's the old slave's fault, I didn't say that earlier."
Mother Jia knew who Cui Nanny was, so she glared at Mrs. Wang immediately, and then said with a smile: "Cui Nanny is too polite, that's what I said. I saw that Yu'er's expression was a little bit when she first came. Haggard, it must have been due to the pain of losing her mother at that time, but now she looks very good."
He asked again, "Why isn't Zicuckoo here?"
Daiyu smiled and didn't speak, but Licorice replied with a smile: "Because she was very tired yesterday, she didn't have much energy this morning, and because she didn't have anything important, she went back to sleep first."
As soon as these words came out, Jiamu's face became a little unsightly.
Just as he was talking, he saw a person coming in at the door, wearing a Qianxiang red dress, with a gold hairpin and jade on his head, and he was in high spirits.A pair of slanted eyes are smiling like anger, and there is a pair of clever articulation that makes people happy.If it's not Wang Xifeng, who is it?
As soon as Wang Xifeng came in, he saw Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were all there. He came over with a smile to say hello one by one, and laughed with all the sisters one by one.Just talking about what Jia Mu had said earlier, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "The old lady is confused, isn't it a good day today. The sun is beautiful outside, and the flowers are blooming beautifully. We have so many girls accompanying us. If the old lady still thinks it’s not enough, she can just bring a couple of mandarin ducks with her.”
When Jia Mu heard what Wang Xifeng said, and saw that everyone was there, she smiled and pulled Daiyu up, and said, "I just said that I was going to see the flowers in the garden. Now everyone is here, why don't you choose this time?" Where are you going?" As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "If you have other things to do, just go by yourself, let's go see the flowers by ourselves."
Mrs. Wang was about to leave, but Baochai took Mrs. Wang's hand and said, "Auntie, why don't you go together." Hearing what she said, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. With a smile, he curled his lips and did not speak.
Mrs. Wang only answered with a smile, but Jia Mu turned her head to look at the two of them, and only let out a cold snort.
After entering the garden, I saw that Wang Xifeng had already asked someone to set up the tables and kang screens, and Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng had a discussion. They said that it was not interesting to just enjoy the flowers, but it would be better to make a wine order and flower order.Everyone agreed, and Jia Mu laughed and said, "There is one less person today, but it's a pity that Yun'er is not here."
Wang Xifeng smiled and came over to toast a glass of wine, and then said: "The old ancestor only cares about Sister Yun, we should not follow her."
So much so that Jia Mu only smiled and slapped her lightly twice, then pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "You monkey, quickly toast your sister."
Wang Xifeng made a toast one by one, and when she came to Baochai, she saw that she was only wearing a light-yellow semi-new dress, and a golden collar could be seen faintly between the overlapping skirts, so she also pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Okay." Sister, I would like to offer you a toast." As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.
Baochai also drank with a smile, and just about to put down the wine glass, she heard Wang Xifeng laughing again: "Well, my sister is not doing my sister any face. Look, you can raise fish in the glass!" Baochai's wine glass was about to be poured to Baochai, and everyone laughed so much that they all rubbed their bellies.
When Baochai's stomach was completely filled with a glass of wine, Wang Xifeng smiled and wanted to pay respects to the next person, but Baochai laughed and said, "This girl Feng is drunk from drinking again! She just poured the wine down like this, and waited for her." Next time I'll feed her too!"
Because their juniors are all sitting below, they are separated from Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.Baochai's words only fell into the ears of Daiyu and Sanchun.Wang Xifeng turned her head to look at Baochai, seeing that her brows and eyes were blushing, and her pink face was already pretty red, she was slightly displeased.Can you say the word "Phoenix girl"?
But it's inconvenient to have an attack at the moment, so I only come to Daiyu.
Because Daiyu was still in filial piety, she didn't dare to drink and have fun, so she just took a sip of her lips, and then confessed to Wang Xifeng, "Sister Feng, forgive me once, and I will pay you back next time." Wang Xifeng laughed too. , just said: "If there is a next time, I don't want to follow it."
After toasting for a while, Jia Mu ordered the flowers again.With Yuanyang as the commander, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were also happy to flatter Jiamu. They each drank a cup, and the rest of the people laughed along with them.Xichun and Daiyu were sitting next to each other because they had similar temperaments. Seeing that Baochai only wanted to please Jia Mu, she curled her lips and said, "Sister Lin, I don't think this Sister Bao is very good."
Daiyu then smiled, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful, people will punish you if they hear it."
Xichun hugged Daiyu's arm and said coquettishly, "I have Sister Lin, so I'm not afraid." Seeing Tanchun and Baochai talking together, she said, "Third Sister usually doesn't like to talk to anyone, but it is How about Sister Bao."
Daiyu followed her gaze, and sure enough, seeing Tanchun talking and laughing with Baochai, she just pursed her lips and smiled.Tanchun is the daughter of a concubine from the second family, and now she is raised under Mrs. Wang's name, so naturally she has to follow Mrs. Wang's face in everything.That Baochai is Mrs. Wang's charming guest, and seeing Mrs. Wang's overt and secret promotion of Baochai, Tanchun can also see that pleasing Baochai is pleasing Mrs. Wang.It's human nature to get closer to Baochai.
It can be seen that Xichun is pouted and acting coquettishly, but Daiyu doesn't say it out loud.He just stroked the top of her hair, just like he did to Lin Lan, making Xichun come closer with a smile.
At that moment, everyone had several glasses of wine, and even Xichun was a little tipsy.It was rare that Daiyu only ate one cup, and her expression was still clear.So he thought about sending Xichun back first, and then going to Lixiangyuan.But Xue Baochai came over with a smile. Daiyu didn't want to say anything to her, but Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Lin, we don't have much chance to talk together on weekdays, so we might as well."
The two of them sent Xichun back to their residence before they came out. Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Xue, I live in Lixiangyuan, so I have different paths from you."
Xue Baochai just smiled and said, "I'm just going to my aunt's place, it's all right."
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said nothing.Along the way, Baochai looked at Daiyu secretly, and saw that she was well-groomed, with clear eyebrows, and she was really a beauty.Feeling a little uneasy, she thought of her brother, although he had only met once or twice, but he could tell from the words and actions of Lin's elder brother that he was very kind to Daiyu.Thinking of this, Baochai bit her lower lip. Although Xue Pan treated her well, compared with the gentleness and meticulousness of Lin's eldest brother, it was far behind.
When Daiyu was rejoicing that Baochai was able to stay silent all the way, Baochai spoke.
"Sister Lin, isn't brother Lin at home today?"
Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister Xue asked you that question. What should I say? What does Sister Xue want from my brother?"
Baochai smiled and said, "Nothing else, just a question." Then he laughed and said, "I heard that sister, you have a piece of beautiful jade. I just wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it?"
Hearing what she said, Daiyu didn't speak, just pursed her lips and smiled.But Licorice said, "Miss Xue doesn't know, this jade is naturally worn by our girls, how can we let others see it?"
Xue Baochai also laughed and said, "I'm being rude, sister, don't make fun of me." After a pause, he said, "I heard that elder brother Lin also has a piece of jade, but I don't know what it is. I'm very curious, and I want to see you brothers and sisters." Do all three have jade to wear?"
Now, even Licorice didn't bother to answer.
Along the way, she heard Baochai talking on and off, and after a while she "heard", Daiyu said in her heart, "Who did you listen to, tell me!" I stayed with the second aunt every day, so I either heard what the second aunt said or what the phoenix egg said.Thinking of this, Daiyu felt even more headache.
Baochai saw that Daiyu only had a faint smile, but she didn't talk much. Although her face was not obvious, she was also a little irritable.According to Aunt Xue's words, the old lady in the Jia family liked Daiyu, but Aunt Xue couldn't get used to it.Aunt Xue originally thought that her family was from a merchant, so she wanted to seek a better future for her daughter. She originally wanted to send her daughter to the palace, but there was a lawsuit against Xue Pan in the middle.As a last resort, I had to come to Beijing, thinking that Baoyu was a great fortune, and wanted to marry Baoyu wholeheartedly, so Daiyu didn't like everything.
Daiyu was impatient here, Licorice suddenly said: "Ah, here we are." Then he turned to Xue Baochai with a smile and said, "Miss Xue, you are here."
Before I knew it, Mrs. Wang's house was close at hand.
Daiyu also smiled and said, "Sister Xue, let's stop. Please say hello to aunt for me, and I won't bother you." Then she went to the direction of Lixiangyuan.Tuliu Baochai stood there alone twisting his handkerchief, biting his lower lip and not speaking.
Compared with Daiyu's colorful appearance in Jia's mansion, Lin Ze felt that he hadn't read the almanac before going out to encounter such unlucky things.Look at the few people who are "blocked" in front of you, and don't look at the leaders, because you don't know them anyway.The black, thick and fat one was obviously someone who Lin Ze thought would kill him but was still alive and well.Then look at the young man in red and green who was dragged by someone, Lin Zeyu died.
The enemy is really jealous.
Lin Ze pulled up the cordon almost subconsciously.But someone on the other side didn't think so!
When Xue Pan was only thirteen years old, he felt that when his father was alive, he was in pain and happiness.As for a small episode during the period, although it was a failure in his life, it was at least a deep memory.To say the least, every time Xue Pan thinks of that young master carved in pink and jade, he feels itchy in his heart. Although his lower body is a bit weak now, to Xue Pan, he has a lot of money. Xue's father is dead, and the family's property is not all his!What kind of men and women do you want? For the money in his hand, why not pounce on him?
Later when their family went to Beijing, although Xue Pan wanted to go out to play wild, but his old mother didn't agree, so he chose to live in his aunt's house.This made Xue Pan very irritable.Fortunately, I later found a good place to go, that is Jia's school, where the poorer offshoots are all left to him?Even if you can't eat it in your stomach, it's better to have a hand craving than nothing!
Look at the phoenix eggs at my aunt's house, they look really good too.Although he wouldn't stumble across this precious jade, it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of it.See, didn't you just find a reason to take this precious jade out to have fun today?
First, I had a table of wine, and after the meal was full, I took these people for a walk around the Chunfeng Building. Wouldn't it be a great pleasure to have a good time?
It’s a good idea here, who would have thought that there would be such a big surprise on the road!
Xue Pan looked at the young man standing in front of his eyes, he must be eight or nine years old, look at the young man who has fallen off like this, he is even better than before!Comparing it to Jia Baoyu standing next to him, it's two levels up and down!Jia Baoyu is a delicate flower, afraid of breaking if touched.But the young man in front of him, hey, that is a orchid on the edge of the cliff, if you want to pick it, you have to weigh whether you are willing to risk your life.
Jia Baoyu was very happy when he saw Lin Ze, and he didn't care if Lin Ze had lied about his discomfort before, so he leaned over affectionately and said, "Cousin Lin, you're here!"
Come peat!
Lin Ze really wanted to hold Jia Baoyu's ear and yell, look at what he said, it looked like he was rushing to find them!God knows he definitely just met by accident!Glancing at Xue Pan's eyeballs that were as big as copper bells, Lin Ze resisted the urge to throw this man on the ground and stomp his face, and only smiled at Jia Baoyu, "I came out because of something. I'm going back."
This is a great laugh.
The idiot Xue Pan immediately shook off Xiang Lianyu's hand, stood in front of Lin Ze, and stammered, "You, you, where are you going back!"
Lin Ze ignored him, Xue Pan hurriedly asked Jia Baoyu again: "Good brother, who is he, why do I hear you call him Cousin Lin?"
Jia Baoyu smiled and gave Xue Pan a hand, and said, "Brother Xue doesn't know, you walk around outside every day, but cousin Lin takes you with you in the house, so you don't have a chance to see each other until now." He smiled and said, "This is my late aunt's son, surnamed
He said: "Third Highness, grassroots dare not climb high."
I haven't seen him since that day.Up to now, it has been more than ten days.
"Brother, are you going to the street again today?" Lin Lan stood by the table blinking, staring closely at the stack of pastries on the table, looking almost drooling.
Lin Ze couldn't help being amused, so he asked Qingmei to bring some snacks for Lin Lan to eat, and said with a smile on his face, "Why did you come to me to ask me if I could go to the street? You obviously wanted to eat these snacks. You're so greedy." Carefully, you broke your teeth!" He laughed and said, "Even your sister likes this snack, take some for your sister when you leave."
Lin Lan nodded in agreement, and seeing Qingmei handing him a handkerchief with a smile, she quickly took it and wiped her mouth, and said with a smile, "Sister Qingmei is better." Qingmei pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Second Master , the weather is getting hotter, don't take off your clothes too quickly, you know?"
Lin Ze was listening to the two of them talking, but he couldn't get rid of the image of Shui Zhan's pale face that was fixed in his heart that day in the academy.The faint pain in his heart made Lin Ze look a little bad.
"Master, Second Master Bao is here."
Lin Ze was taken aback, then smiled and said: "Come in, please." Then he smiled and said to Bai Shao and Bai Shu: "You two sent Lan'er to Yu'er, there are foreigners coming here, it is inevitable to collide." Bai Shao He Baishu responded with a smile, one took Lin Lan's little hand, and the other went to Daiyu with a food box.
Qingmei took the tea off the table and re-brewed light scented tea, before it was served on the table, Jia Baoyu rushed in rashly.Seeing Lin Ze sitting at the table looking at him with a smile on his face, he blushed and said with a smile, "Brother Lin, I'm here to see you."
Lin Ze smiled and let him sit down, and then asked Qingmei to serve Baoyu the tea. Seeing Baoyu looking at Qingmei with smiling eyes, he coughed lightly, interrupting Baoyu's gaze.Seeing Baoyu's face flushed again, he just smiled and said, "Second cousin, are you here for business?"
Baoyu laughed first and said, "Brother Lin's words are too sad for me. Could it be that you can't come if you have nothing to do?" Then he laughed and said, "Brother Lin is really comfortable here. It's strange that Cousin Lin doesn't come to us much. It’s gone there, isn’t it, the beautiful trees here are verdant and pleasant, it’s much better than mine!”
Hearing what he said, Lin Ze just laughed and said nothing.The place where he lives is the old man's retirement home, and the natural environment is quiet and pleasant.As for what Jia Baoyu said about him, Lin Ze smiled, and he couldn't answer well no matter what.Firstly, it was he himself who rejected Jia Mu's idea, and secondly, it was also because there were senior and respectable elders living there, and it was not his turn to judge good or bad as a junior.
Jia Baoyu lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in his hand, then opened his eyes and asked, "What kind of tea is this? I've never tasted it before." He looked up to look at the green plums, but there was no shadow of green plums in the room.
Lin Ze saw that there seemed to be doubts in his brows, so he smiled and explained: "Sister Qingmei has something to do, so I'm going out first." In fact, Qingmei didn't want to see Jia Baoyu very much, and she felt a headache when she heard him talking, so he kept going. After coming in, he sat down to talk to Lin Ze, and immediately signaled to Lin Ze to go out.
Jia Baoyu suddenly lost his way: "Sister Qingmei's good looks should be in our house." After speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he quickly raised his head and said to Lin Ze: "Brother Lin, I, I am clumsy, you do not be angry."
Lin Ze thought: I want to be angry, and I still have endless anger, who wants to talk to you!But at the moment, he only chuckled, and said: "The girls in your family are all beautiful, no better than ours. Hu Dahai is used to it." Baoyu blushed when he said this, and although he wanted to refute, he flinched in the end I just bowed my head and drank tea without saying a word.
Lin Ze was happy and quiet. Who likes to chat with Jia Baoyu? It's not like he does everything.
The sound of cup lids clinking was heard in the room for a while, although Lin Ze thought it was nice to be quiet, but... Glancing at Jia Baoyu who was drinking tea, Lin Ze sighed silently in his heart.It's strange that this person can be quiet here!Sure enough, before Lin Ze's mental activity took too long, Jia Baoyu couldn't sit still, and only heard him laughing: "Brother Lin, this tea tastes refreshing, what is it made of?"
Lin Ze glanced at the flowers and leaves in the tea bowl, and only smiled and said, "You shouldn't ask me about this, I didn't make the tea, you should ask the person who made the tea."
When Baoyu heard this, he also felt that this should be the case, and wanted to ask Qingmei, but Qingmei was not there, so he bowed his head and remained silent.
Lin Ze glanced at him, saw his eyes flickering, and thought: Jia Baoyu must be here for something.But it's hard to speak, so I just dawdled and didn't say anything.However, it's not his turn to worry about anything, is it?Anyway, if Jia Baoyu didn't open his mouth, my young master wouldn't be so kind as to hit him with the muzzle of the gun himself.
When the tea in Master Lin Ze's hand was about to bottom out, Lin Ze finally heard Jia Baoyu speak.
"Brother Lin, what's the fun in the house all day, why don't we go shopping in the street today?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Although we are at home, we are not idle after all. Second cousin, look at how many books are on the table that I haven't read yet." After speaking, he pointed to the book on the desk. A thick stack of books.He turned his head to look at Jia Baoyu and said with a smile, "Second Cousin, have you finished all your studies?"
Jia Baoyu's face flushed, he couldn't speak, and seeing Lin Ze smiling at him, he panicked with embarrassment.It's just that when I think of what Big Brother Xue said, I find it interesting and novel.So he suppressed all the embarrassment in his heart first, and only said: "Brother Lin, there is no day when you can finish the book, and you will be suffocated if you stay in the house and read all day long." He smiled and said: "I begged the old lady to let me go out to play for a while, and I came to look for you because I thought that cousin Lin would be bored in the room all day."
Lin Ze glanced at him and said in his heart: Thank you for thinking about me so much!Don't forget to pick me up when you go out to hang out!
Even though he was thinking this way, his face didn't show it, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was a bit confused: "Oh, you don't know, I also felt a little bored, but when I went out, where did I go? , if you don’t want to think about how many places outside there are not much fun for us, it’s better to just walk around at home.”
Hearing this, Baoyu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, but he couldn't say anything, so he blurted out in a hurry: "Brother Lin, it turned out that Brother Xue cured a banquet, please let us go to play, don't refuse in a hurry .”
Lin Ze was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that the girl Bao who was praised by everyone in the house had a brother like a domineering king.I heard that Xue Pan is now twelve or thirteen years old, and he does not seek to make progress every day, but only wants to enjoy himself.Thinking about it, he is also a dude, so don't take it to heart.
It doesn't matter if you go, but Lin Ze doesn't like Xue Baochai very much.There is no other reason, but Xue Baochai will make Daiyu unhappy every now and then.The Xue family wants to get together with the Jia family, he has no objection, but can you get together without his sister?Daiyu, a noble daughter's family, is going to be run over by Xue Baochai all day long?
Thinking of this, Lin Ze naturally had a bad face.Even he didn't like that idiot Xue whom he had never met before, let alone join him in his banquet.Then he just smiled and said: "It's really unfortunate, I don't feel well today, second cousin can go by himself, I just thank second cousin for remembering me in everything."
As he said that, he just thanked him with a smile, but he was about to give it away without even lifting his butt.
Baoyu's face is embarrassing, who are you kidding when you say that Lin Ze is not feeling well, he was smiling when he came in, but now he looks rosy when he looks at it.Does this make you feel uncomfortable?But what could Baoyu say, he could only sneer and say a few more words, and left in a self-defeating way.
Jia Baoyu was dismissed from this side, and Bai Guo, who had been in the corridor over there, came in and said with a smile: "Young lady sent someone here to invite you, sir, are you going?"
Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Why don't you go?" As he said that, he straightened his clothes and was about to go out. It was obvious that Bai Guo's eyes were full of smiles, and he felt puzzled, so he asked, "What are you laughing at? What's so funny about it?" , just tell me and let me listen."
Bai Guo covered her lips with a smile, and said: "I was afraid that the uncle would feel uncomfortable, so I didn't go to the girl. I was thinking about how to answer the girl, don't make the girl angry, and then I will talk about the uncle again." Meal."
Lin Ze also laughed, and said in a low voice: "Don't laugh at me, I've been with Yu'er for a long time, and even you are bullying me."
Hearing what he said, Bai Guo just smiled, but didn't reply.Seeing that Lin Ze didn't look angry, he smiled and said, "It turned out that the girl taught us well, so I should thank you, sir." Then he said with a smile: "My uncle has to go out every now and then. It's not thanks to the girl."
After laughing for two or three more sentences, she was already outside Daiyu's gate.Lin Ze looked up and saw the snow geese and blue cranes twirling on the porch, the oriole was feeding the thrush, but the ibis was standing aside with his face turned away, and the azalea was twisting the handkerchief and biting her lower lip, not knowing what she was thinking. .When they saw Lin Ze and Bai Guo coming, they stood up quickly to salute, Lin Ze also smiled and let them off, and seeing Zijuan's eye circles were red, for some reason, they just smiled and said: "It's getting hotter and hotter today. Well, it's still a bit cold after all, don't always sit on the porch."
Xueyan and Qinghe responded with a smile, and only said with a smile: "It is said that the uncle loves others, but others still don't believe it. Let's not sit here now." Licorice came out again and smiled and invited Lin Ze in, just saying "Miss has been waiting for you for a long time, but he just dawdles and refuses to come." Then, seeing Zijuan standing in the corridor blankly, she smiled and took Zijuan's hand and said, "Young lady said that the kitchen is stewing." There is white fungus soup, Sister Zijuan, let's get it, don't stand here and blow the wind."
As soon as Lin Zecai entered, he saw Daiyu was reading a book on the long couch, and Lin Lan was also writing on the small table, holding the pen with the cantilever in a very poised posture.Lin Ze twitched his lips and said with a smile: "The two of you are busy with your own business here, but you want me to come, what's the reason?"
Daiyu put the book down and said with a smile: "I won't call you, I don't know when you will come." Then, she glanced out and saw that Zijuan was not there, so she knew that it was licorice that took people away. up.Then he said again: "Why did you come to see you again? Do you think he has not enough right and wrong?"
Lin Ze knew she was talking about Jia Baoyu as soon as he heard it, and he said happily: "He is a rich and idle son, he is different from us." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Daiyu's cold snort, and laughed again "Don't pay attention to them, they are all people who have nothing to do with us."
Daiyu sneered and said, "Who cares about it, why should I care about it?" Seeing Lin Ze's faint smile, she couldn't help complaining, "I often think that we don't have a place to live in Beijing, so why should we live here? Let’s gossip a car.”
When Lin Ze heard this, his face turned cold, and he only asked, "Who made you angry?"
Seeing him like this, Daiyu didn't want the quarrel between the girls to make him angry, and if she said it, others would blame Lin Ze.He only avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "It's not because of this, but now seeing that there are guests living in my grandmother's house, it is very inconvenient for us here, it is better to move early."
What Daiyu said was not what Lin Ze thought, but... Lin Ze shook his head and said, "If we want to leave, my grandmother will definitely not agree."
Daiyu bit her lower lip.How could she not know, just listening to the maids and servants in the mansion praise that the girl from the Xue family is the most generous, it seems to be saying that the girl from the Lin family is not as good as the girl from the Xue family.I don't even think about it, how his Xue family is a merchant, even though he is rich and powerful, how he got into the eyes of the world.The strange way is at home, after the mother gave birth to Lan'er, she often said to herself that the grandfather's family is different from other families, the servants in the mansion are now all snobbish, they are only greedy for the cheap things they get, and they don't care about other things.
Seeing Lin Lan writing all the time, Lin Ze wondered when the child was so quiet.Leaning over to take a look, hey, hey, you shouldn't have high expectations for this little chubby guy.You can see that he is serious about writing, who would have imagined that he is posing here, and the other empty hand is busy eating the pastries under the table.
Lin Lan blinked at Lin Ze's dumbfounding expression, so she had to lower her head and adopt the policy of voluntarily admitting her mistakes.Seeing that pitiful look, Lin Ze felt ashamed to punish him, so he confiscated the plate of snacks, and said, "It's so opportunistic, I haven't had any snacks for two days."
Hearing this, Lin Lan was about to cry with a woo-wah, but her elder brother didn't dare to cry out because of his stern face.She had no choice but to whimper and ran to Daiyu to act like a spoiled child.Daiyu only smiled and patted his head, and said a few words of gentle persuasion, and finally persuaded Lin Lan's tears to go back.
Seeing that Lin Lan was going outside, Daiyu asked, "Where are you going?"
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Didn't Yu'er want to know when we can live in our own home? I'll go and see." Seeing Daiyu's eyes brighten up several times, Lin Ze only smiled and went outside.When he was going out, he happened to meet Licorice coming over with a cup of white fungus soup, Lin Ze smiled and said, "It's really hard for you to go back and forth."
Licorice just smiled and blessed Fushen, without saying anything, and went to Daiyu's room.On the other hand, Zicuckoo was in a trance and didn't know what she was thinking.
After Lin Ze left, Daiyu saw that Lin Lan was sleepy, so she smiled and asked Hong Xing and Qing Xing to take Lin Lan into the inner room, undress and sleep.Looking back, I saw licorice coming in with white fungus soup, followed by azalea with red eyes.Daiyu first smiled and asked Licorice to put the white fungus soup on the table, and only smiled and said to Zijuan: "What's the matter, your eye circles are red, but you were bullied?"
Zicuckoo glanced at the licorice, saw that the latter was only looking at her with a faint smile, quickly closed her eyes, lowered her eyebrows and said: "It turned out that I was sleepy last night and got up earlier in the morning, so I can't sleep." That's it." You Fushen said: "Thank you for your concern, Miss."
Daiyu gave a "hmm", turned her head and saw Licorice staring at Zicuckoo with a smile, she just pursed her lips and said, "Since you didn't rest well last night, today is nothing serious, you just go back and rest. No problem."
After Zicuckoo thanked her quickly, she went back to her room to rest without mentioning it.Daiyu looked at the licorice and said with a smile, "You must know what happened to her. Tell me about it."
Licorice came forward with a smile and said: "Young lady, I don't know. Yesterday we asked Zicuckoo to deliver something to Miss Fourth of Jia's Mansion. Who knew that she stayed for a long time and didn't come back until after dinner. Zhu Lu and the others They only left some food for her, and she complained non-stop. Toki, who lived in the same room as her, was always straightforward, so he said something to her, which made her cry One night."
Daiyu also wondered, "Even if Fourth Girl keeps her for a while longer, what is it worth?"
Licorice also laughed and said, "Isn't that true? It's the same reason. Who knows that they quarreled later and said something else. Zijuan only said that she went to Bao Erye's house, and that's why Time wasted."
Daiyu just sneered and said, "Where did you go, I told you."
" Zhu Lu laughed at her and said that the courtyard where the fourth lady lived was far away from the courtyard where the second master Bao lived. Who is to blame for leaving some leftovers from cold rice."
Daiyu said, "She was originally a girl from Jia's family, but she is different from ours. In the future, we will go to our house. If we can not take her with us, we can leave her behind."
Licorice nodded, and said in her heart: This Zicuckoo is also a big heart, no wonder the uncle told me several times to be careful.I also thought of the ibis' temperament, the knife-like mouth, which can also restrain the azalea.
After talking for a while, Mother Jia sent a maid over, saying that she would invite Miss Lin to talk.Daiyu went to Jia Mu's place, taking only green apricots and licorice, and left the green and red apricots in the house to look after them.
When she arrived at Jiamu's place, Daiyu found that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were also there. Daiyu only pursed her lips and saluted Jiamu, who hurriedly pulled her closer to sit down.He laughed again: "Auntie, where did we talk just now?"
Aunt Xue laughed and said: "The old lady is testing us. She said that the flowers in the garden in front are blooming. The old lady will find time to see them."
Jia Mu only smiled and said, "Yes, when people are old, they like to see some flowers and pinks." Then, she touched Daiyu's cheek again, and said with a smile, "According to me, it's full of flowers." The flowers in the garden are pink, but they can't compare to my Yu'er." Everyone in the room laughed, and Daiyu's face also flushed slightly.
Mrs. Wang laughed again and said, "I see that Bao girl is also very good-looking. Come and show me." As she spoke, she had already taken Baochai's hand.
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It's all you who praise her, how good it is." Then she smiled at Jiamu: "Old lady, don't bother me with my words. From what I can see, the girl in the house is very good." They are all the most beautiful!" Then he smiled and looked at Yuanyang and others standing behind Jia Mu, and said: "It is usually said that the old lady is the best at training people, and even the girls who serve the old lady are like everyone. It's like a young lady."
As soon as the words fell, Daiyu turned her face away, and the smile on Jiamu's face also faded a little.This is somewhat interesting, as if the girls and maids in their family are the same.Aunt Xue still didn't notice Jia Mu's displeasure, so Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "You also spoke too well of them, how can they compare with Debao girl."
Jia's mother also laughed and said: "Yes, from our family's four girls, none of them is better than your family's treasure girl." It is the difference between "our family" and "your family", and Aunt Xue still can't tell. Woolen cloth.
Aunt Xue covered her lips and smiled again, and said: "The old lady only praises her, I only love Miss Lin." As she spoke, she wanted to pull Daiyu to make out, but Mother Jia didn't let her go. hand.Aunt Xue withdrew her hand, took a sip of the tea on the table, and said with a smile, "When I see Miss Lin's appearance every day, I feel pity in my heart. It's not like Baochai in our family. She's just a little older." So I learned to help me share the burden, but I couldn't get in."
Mother Jia smiled, then glanced at Xue Baochai, who was being held by Mrs. Wang, then turned her head and touched Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "We are very envious of what my aunt said. All the girls in our family are No matter how old you are, you can share something. It's also my concubine's blessing to have such a capable daughter to help her."
These words made Aunt Xue's face stiffen, and she couldn't say anything.In terms of character and appearance, Baochai of her family is inferior to Miss Gonghou?The only thing that is criticized by dignitaries is his birth, what else is there!What the old lady said was too deceptive. Could it be that the young ladies in their family were all spoiled and brought up, and only Baochai of her family was responsible for the affairs of the family since she was a child?
Mrs. Wang just smiled and said: "Why did the eldest lady come so late today? She said she was afraid that the eldest lady would not feel well, so she dared not ask someone to invite her."
Aunt Xue also asked, "Why is Miss Lin not in good health? I can't tell."
Mrs. Wang covered her lips with a smile, and said to Aunt Xue: "You don't know, our eldest girl has been weak since she was born. She has been taking medicine for these years, so she is better." She laughed again: "It's just recently The weather has turned hot, but I don't know if the eldest girl is feeling a little unwell?"
When Daiyu's face turned cold and she was about to speak, Nanny Cui behind her laughed first, and said, "Second Madam is too worried, our girl's body has long since recovered. Why do I need medicine to support her? Let me tell you." It's too much to be laughed at." He blessed Jia's mother again, and said with a smile: "It's the old slave's fault, I didn't say that earlier."
Mother Jia knew who Cui Nanny was, so she glared at Mrs. Wang immediately, and then said with a smile: "Cui Nanny is too polite, that's what I said. I saw that Yu'er's expression was a little bit when she first came. Haggard, it must have been due to the pain of losing her mother at that time, but now she looks very good."
He asked again, "Why isn't Zicuckoo here?"
Daiyu smiled and didn't speak, but Licorice replied with a smile: "Because she was very tired yesterday, she didn't have much energy this morning, and because she didn't have anything important, she went back to sleep first."
As soon as these words came out, Jiamu's face became a little unsightly.
Just as he was talking, he saw a person coming in at the door, wearing a Qianxiang red dress, with a gold hairpin and jade on his head, and he was in high spirits.A pair of slanted eyes are smiling like anger, and there is a pair of clever articulation that makes people happy.If it's not Wang Xifeng, who is it?
As soon as Wang Xifeng came in, he saw Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were all there. He came over with a smile to say hello one by one, and laughed with all the sisters one by one.Just talking about what Jia Mu had said earlier, she clapped her hands and said with a smile: "The old lady is confused, isn't it a good day today. The sun is beautiful outside, and the flowers are blooming beautifully. We have so many girls accompanying us. If the old lady still thinks it’s not enough, she can just bring a couple of mandarin ducks with her.”
When Jia Mu heard what Wang Xifeng said, and saw that everyone was there, she smiled and pulled Daiyu up, and said, "I just said that I was going to see the flowers in the garden. Now everyone is here, why don't you choose this time?" Where are you going?" As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Wang and said, "If you have other things to do, just go by yourself, let's go see the flowers by ourselves."
Mrs. Wang was about to leave, but Baochai took Mrs. Wang's hand and said, "Auntie, why don't you go together." Hearing what she said, Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and glanced at her. With a smile, he curled his lips and did not speak.
Mrs. Wang only answered with a smile, but Jia Mu turned her head to look at the two of them, and only let out a cold snort.
After entering the garden, I saw that Wang Xifeng had already asked someone to set up the tables and kang screens, and Yuanyang and Wang Xifeng had a discussion. They said that it was not interesting to just enjoy the flowers, but it would be better to make a wine order and flower order.Everyone agreed, and Jia Mu laughed and said, "There is one less person today, but it's a pity that Yun'er is not here."
Wang Xifeng smiled and came over to toast a glass of wine, and then said: "The old ancestor only cares about Sister Yun, we should not follow her."
So much so that Jia Mu only smiled and slapped her lightly twice, then pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "You monkey, quickly toast your sister."
Wang Xifeng made a toast one by one, and when she came to Baochai, she saw that she was only wearing a light-yellow semi-new dress, and a golden collar could be seen faintly between the overlapping skirts, so she also pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Okay." Sister, I would like to offer you a toast." As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.
Baochai also drank with a smile, and just about to put down the wine glass, she heard Wang Xifeng laughing again: "Well, my sister is not doing my sister any face. Look, you can raise fish in the glass!" Baochai's wine glass was about to be poured to Baochai, and everyone laughed so much that they all rubbed their bellies.
When Baochai's stomach was completely filled with a glass of wine, Wang Xifeng smiled and wanted to pay respects to the next person, but Baochai laughed and said, "This girl Feng is drunk from drinking again! She just poured the wine down like this, and waited for her." Next time I'll feed her too!"
Because their juniors are all sitting below, they are separated from Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.Baochai's words only fell into the ears of Daiyu and Sanchun.Wang Xifeng turned her head to look at Baochai, seeing that her brows and eyes were blushing, and her pink face was already pretty red, she was slightly displeased.Can you say the word "Phoenix girl"?
But it's inconvenient to have an attack at the moment, so I only come to Daiyu.
Because Daiyu was still in filial piety, she didn't dare to drink and have fun, so she just took a sip of her lips, and then confessed to Wang Xifeng, "Sister Feng, forgive me once, and I will pay you back next time." Wang Xifeng laughed too. , just said: "If there is a next time, I don't want to follow it."
After toasting for a while, Jia Mu ordered the flowers again.With Yuanyang as the commander, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were also happy to flatter Jiamu. They each drank a cup, and the rest of the people laughed along with them.Xichun and Daiyu were sitting next to each other because they had similar temperaments. Seeing that Baochai only wanted to please Jia Mu, she curled her lips and said, "Sister Lin, I don't think this Sister Bao is very good."
Daiyu then smiled, and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful, people will punish you if they hear it."
Xichun hugged Daiyu's arm and said coquettishly, "I have Sister Lin, so I'm not afraid." Seeing Tanchun and Baochai talking together, she said, "Third Sister usually doesn't like to talk to anyone, but it is How about Sister Bao."
Daiyu followed her gaze, and sure enough, seeing Tanchun talking and laughing with Baochai, she just pursed her lips and smiled.Tanchun is the daughter of a concubine from the second family, and now she is raised under Mrs. Wang's name, so naturally she has to follow Mrs. Wang's face in everything.That Baochai is Mrs. Wang's charming guest, and seeing Mrs. Wang's overt and secret promotion of Baochai, Tanchun can also see that pleasing Baochai is pleasing Mrs. Wang.It's human nature to get closer to Baochai.
It can be seen that Xichun is pouted and acting coquettishly, but Daiyu doesn't say it out loud.He just stroked the top of her hair, just like he did to Lin Lan, making Xichun come closer with a smile.
At that moment, everyone had several glasses of wine, and even Xichun was a little tipsy.It was rare that Daiyu only ate one cup, and her expression was still clear.So he thought about sending Xichun back first, and then going to Lixiangyuan.But Xue Baochai came over with a smile. Daiyu didn't want to say anything to her, but Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Lin, we don't have much chance to talk together on weekdays, so we might as well."
The two of them sent Xichun back to their residence before they came out. Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Xue, I live in Lixiangyuan, so I have different paths from you."
Xue Baochai just smiled and said, "I'm just going to my aunt's place, it's all right."
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled and said nothing.Along the way, Baochai looked at Daiyu secretly, and saw that she was well-groomed, with clear eyebrows, and she was really a beauty.Feeling a little uneasy, she thought of her brother, although he had only met once or twice, but he could tell from the words and actions of Lin's elder brother that he was very kind to Daiyu.Thinking of this, Baochai bit her lower lip. Although Xue Pan treated her well, compared with the gentleness and meticulousness of Lin's eldest brother, it was far behind.
When Daiyu was rejoicing that Baochai was able to stay silent all the way, Baochai spoke.
"Sister Lin, isn't brother Lin at home today?"
Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister Xue asked you that question. What should I say? What does Sister Xue want from my brother?"
Baochai smiled and said, "Nothing else, just a question." Then he laughed and said, "I heard that sister, you have a piece of beautiful jade. I just wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it?"
Hearing what she said, Daiyu didn't speak, just pursed her lips and smiled.But Licorice said, "Miss Xue doesn't know, this jade is naturally worn by our girls, how can we let others see it?"
Xue Baochai also laughed and said, "I'm being rude, sister, don't make fun of me." After a pause, he said, "I heard that elder brother Lin also has a piece of jade, but I don't know what it is. I'm very curious, and I want to see you brothers and sisters." Do all three have jade to wear?"
Now, even Licorice didn't bother to answer.
Along the way, she heard Baochai talking on and off, and after a while she "heard", Daiyu said in her heart, "Who did you listen to, tell me!" I stayed with the second aunt every day, so I either heard what the second aunt said or what the phoenix egg said.Thinking of this, Daiyu felt even more headache.
Baochai saw that Daiyu only had a faint smile, but she didn't talk much. Although her face was not obvious, she was also a little irritable.According to Aunt Xue's words, the old lady in the Jia family liked Daiyu, but Aunt Xue couldn't get used to it.Aunt Xue originally thought that her family was from a merchant, so she wanted to seek a better future for her daughter. She originally wanted to send her daughter to the palace, but there was a lawsuit against Xue Pan in the middle.As a last resort, I had to come to Beijing, thinking that Baoyu was a great fortune, and wanted to marry Baoyu wholeheartedly, so Daiyu didn't like everything.
Daiyu was impatient here, Licorice suddenly said: "Ah, here we are." Then he turned to Xue Baochai with a smile and said, "Miss Xue, you are here."
Before I knew it, Mrs. Wang's house was close at hand.
Daiyu also smiled and said, "Sister Xue, let's stop. Please say hello to aunt for me, and I won't bother you." Then she went to the direction of Lixiangyuan.Tuliu Baochai stood there alone twisting his handkerchief, biting his lower lip and not speaking.
Compared with Daiyu's colorful appearance in Jia's mansion, Lin Ze felt that he hadn't read the almanac before going out to encounter such unlucky things.Look at the few people who are "blocked" in front of you, and don't look at the leaders, because you don't know them anyway.The black, thick and fat one was obviously someone who Lin Ze thought would kill him but was still alive and well.Then look at the young man in red and green who was dragged by someone, Lin Zeyu died.
The enemy is really jealous.
Lin Ze pulled up the cordon almost subconsciously.But someone on the other side didn't think so!
When Xue Pan was only thirteen years old, he felt that when his father was alive, he was in pain and happiness.As for a small episode during the period, although it was a failure in his life, it was at least a deep memory.To say the least, every time Xue Pan thinks of that young master carved in pink and jade, he feels itchy in his heart. Although his lower body is a bit weak now, to Xue Pan, he has a lot of money. Xue's father is dead, and the family's property is not all his!What kind of men and women do you want? For the money in his hand, why not pounce on him?
Later when their family went to Beijing, although Xue Pan wanted to go out to play wild, but his old mother didn't agree, so he chose to live in his aunt's house.This made Xue Pan very irritable.Fortunately, I later found a good place to go, that is Jia's school, where the poorer offshoots are all left to him?Even if you can't eat it in your stomach, it's better to have a hand craving than nothing!
Look at the phoenix eggs at my aunt's house, they look really good too.Although he wouldn't stumble across this precious jade, it didn't prevent him from taking advantage of it.See, didn't you just find a reason to take this precious jade out to have fun today?
First, I had a table of wine, and after the meal was full, I took these people for a walk around the Chunfeng Building. Wouldn't it be a great pleasure to have a good time?
It’s a good idea here, who would have thought that there would be such a big surprise on the road!
Xue Pan looked at the young man standing in front of his eyes, he must be eight or nine years old, look at the young man who has fallen off like this, he is even better than before!Comparing it to Jia Baoyu standing next to him, it's two levels up and down!Jia Baoyu is a delicate flower, afraid of breaking if touched.But the young man in front of him, hey, that is a orchid on the edge of the cliff, if you want to pick it, you have to weigh whether you are willing to risk your life.
Jia Baoyu was very happy when he saw Lin Ze, and he didn't care if Lin Ze had lied about his discomfort before, so he leaned over affectionately and said, "Cousin Lin, you're here!"
Come peat!
Lin Ze really wanted to hold Jia Baoyu's ear and yell, look at what he said, it looked like he was rushing to find them!God knows he definitely just met by accident!Glancing at Xue Pan's eyeballs that were as big as copper bells, Lin Ze resisted the urge to throw this man on the ground and stomp his face, and only smiled at Jia Baoyu, "I came out because of something. I'm going back."
This is a great laugh.
The idiot Xue Pan immediately shook off Xiang Lianyu's hand, stood in front of Lin Ze, and stammered, "You, you, where are you going back!"
Lin Ze ignored him, Xue Pan hurriedly asked Jia Baoyu again: "Good brother, who is he, why do I hear you call him Cousin Lin?"
Jia Baoyu smiled and gave Xue Pan a hand, and said, "Brother Xue doesn't know, you walk around outside every day, but cousin Lin takes you with you in the house, so you don't have a chance to see each other until now." He smiled and said, "This is my late aunt's son, surnamed
