The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Not to mention that Daiyu threw the curtain out of Jiamu's room angrily.Let's say that Xue Baochai avoided Mrs. Wang in this way and went back to the Westinghouse alone.He stretched out his hand to greet Ying'er and asked in a low voice, "Have you seen the snow geese come back?"

Before Ying'er could reply, she heard a rush of footsteps outside, and Daiyu slammed the curtain and came in angrily.Jinse and Xueyan followed closely behind, one was holding a small hand stove, the other was wearing a green feather satin cloak on his arm, shouting repeatedly: "Lady, slow down, girl, slow down."

Seeing this appearance, Baochai was taken aback, got up quickly and pulled Daiyu in, and smoothly put the heavy coat hanging on the side on Daiyu's body. Ying'er took the small hand stove from Xueyan's hand and stuffed it into Daiyu's hand.After a long period of chaos, Baochai took the time to scold him, "What are you doing in such a cold day? You won't have a good day even if you die."

Lin Daiyu sneered and said, "They really want me to die! They don't think it's enough to make up and talk all day long, but now they are becoming more and more humiliating. I'm afraid that my death will be too slow for a while and they will be in the way."

Baochai was suspicious and didn't care about interrogating Xueyan, so she hurriedly sat beside Daiyu and asked, "Who has offended you again?"

Daiyu pursed her lips, and told the truth about Zhou Rui's family sending palace flowers.At the end, he said indignantly: "Everyone is blind with their eyes open. I was worried about their family's face, but they were also plain and clean all day long, and they couldn't see half of it. Let someone else pick the rest. Brought red and purple flowers for me to wear. I need a flower from their family, can I wear it?"

Seeing Daiyu's eyes shedding tears in anger, Baochai had no choice but to hug her into her arms and comfort her, "What are you doing with them? The less they care, the better off we will be. What are you so angry about?" It seems that people don't know. If you lose your temper, wouldn't Uncle Lin and Brother Lin feel sorry for you?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she stopped slightly.He just sat on the sidelines and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Baochai turned to Yinger and said, "Where did you put the few hairpins my brother brought back yesterday?"

"In the Luodian cabinet where things are often kept." Ying'er said, got up and went into the side room where things were piled up, and opened the Luodian cabinet.He took out an extremely exquisite sandalwood box inlaid with treasures and turned back, Baochai took it.Open the box and pass it in front of Lin Daiyu: "Auntie and Zhou Rui's family came to talk today. My mother thought that she has lived here for so long, so no matter what she did, it would be annoying. It just so happened that a few fresh styles were rewarded in the palace the other day. The color is very bright, but it is very in line with the preferences of the girls and wives in the house. My mother handed it over to Zhou Rui's family and asked her to send it to the girls in the house. The last two were originally given to Zhou Rui's family as a favor. Go back and play. I just didn't expect the old lady to call someone over..."

Daiyu hooked the corners of her mouth in disdain, and said, "So she used me as a favor? What a pity, I didn't let this step down."

"What kind of identity are we, and what kind of identity is she. Only the grace we bestow, how can there be any kindness from her?" Xue Baochai casually persuaded, and then stuffed the sandalwood box into Lin Daiyu's hands. "Your I have been reserved for you a long time ago. It is also a pair of Hetian jade hairpins rewarded from the palace. The jade is gentle and delicate, and it is a rare treasure."

Lin Daiyu looked down, picked up one and played with it in her hand, only to feel that the tentacles were warming up, which was very rare.He couldn't help but said, "This is too expensive, I don't want to—"

"What are you and my sisters doing so clearly?" Baochai closed Lin Daiyu's hand and persuaded softly, "The reason why I gave you this hairpin is because I think my sister's character is like this one's." It’s like good white jade. It’s pure and clear, free from dust and dirt. And it’s as firm as jade. I hope my sister can be like the best white jade. Although it’s gentle and gentle, it must be strong and self-reliant.”

Lin Daiyu listened to Baochai's advice and became more and more moved.At the same time, I couldn't help feeling sorry for myself, bowed my head and said, "How dare I compare Meiyu's character. I'm just a poor relative with sharp teeth and no winks."

Baochai smiled and said, "That's the next thing I want to tell you."

As she spoke, she raised her voice and ordered, "Ying'er, bring over the brocade box I told you to pack up yesterday."

"Hey!" Ying'er responded, and hurried to the shelf on the side wall of the study in the inner room, took down a brocade box embroidered with Jiangnan landscapes, turned around and handed it to Baochai.Baochai handed it to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu glanced at Baochai suspiciously, opened the box, looked down, and couldn't help being stunned——

Although this thing has never been seen before, Lin Daiyu has studied housekeeping with Mrs. Xue and Baochai for a month or two, and she has mastered the basics. She can still recognize the most basic thing, the land deed.

Baochai smiled and said, "Do you still remember the 10 taels of silver you gave me a while ago... These shops were sold by my brother when he was fighting against Nan'an Palace in the past two months. It's in the best location in central Beijing. If you don't want to do business and labor, you can rent out the shop. The two villas were given to you by Brother Lin. Here are a few places to practice. He is a grown man, so he can’t walk around in the inner courtyard all the time, so I have to ask my brother to bring it to me.”

Lin Daiyu looked down, her eyes were slightly red.

Baochai smiled slightly, and continued: "You should also relax a little bit. You have your father and brother to take care of you, and our family to help you, and now you have land to buy and sell. According to Lin's elder brother, he also has a house and a house in Beijing. Local. My brother said that he is now going up and down for Uncle Lin’s transfer, and he may come to Beijing in two days. Wouldn’t it be distressing to see you crying all day because of being bullied?”

Lin Daiyu nodded with tears rolling down her face.

Baochai said again: "I know what you're thinking... We gave Gongzhong 2 taels of silver on the first day we moved in. Now it's just a relationship between relatives, and we live here for nothing, and we don't touch them for anything big or small. Half of them. It’s fine if they are respectful, but if they really don’t look like them, we’ll leave if we want to. It’s just that the end of the year is approaching, and you have such a relationship with the old lady, so it’s not easy for us to take you away. If outsiders read it, they may make irresponsible remarks, which will harm your reputation."

Lin Daiyu nodded silently, wiped the teardrops on her cheeks with her hands, and said softly: "Sister's thoughts are naturally understood. I just want my sister to rest assured that I was just left-minded before, and now I have thought about it. , I will never have that kind of muddled thought again."

After a pause, he continued: "I am loved by my father and elder brother, and I am taken care of by my godfather, godmother and sister. To me, the gossip of others is just a drizzle. Although it is wet, But in the end, it doesn't matter at all. If you want to be with me, I will live there. If you really hate each other... I will make a fuss and move out! I am not the one who is embarrassed."

Baochai got used to Daiyu's prudence and thought twice.Now seeing Lin Daiyu's aggressive appearance of smashing and smashing the jar suddenly is very uncomfortable.Looking at him coldly, he was as dumb as a three-point brother.He couldn't help laughing and jokingly said: "Oh, I'm getting tough again now. I don't know who is the bitter poet who wrote '360 days a year, wind, frost, sword and sword' that night."

Daiyu was embarrassed when she heard the words, and immediately scratched Baochai's groin in disbelief and said, "I just wrote at random...you actually peeked at my poem manuscript..."

"I don't peek, so how can I know what my sister is thinking... Oh my good sister, please forgive me!" Baochai said out of breath while lying on Ba Bu's bed.

……

After messing around for a while, Lin Daiyu returned to her room to rest under Jinse's service.After Baochai finished washing in this room, she waited until all the lights and candles in Daiyu's room were extinguished.Only then did she quietly summon Ying'er and said: "Go over there secretly and have a look. If Xueyan is awake, call her over. Don't wake Miss Lin up."

Ying'er responded, turned around and went out, but after a while, she came into the house with an eager snow goose.

After Xueyan entered the room, before Xue Baochai interrogated her, she said to herself: "Miss, I seem to have heard the voice of the elder sister who arranged our girls behind the scenes last time."

Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then realized immediately, and immediately asked: "What you said is true, do you remember correctly?"

"Absolutely not." Xueyan shook her head resolutely, "I listened outside for a long time when I came back at noon, and she was indeed right."

Xue Baochai suddenly said: "No wonder you were so out of order at noon, I was still wondering what happened!"

After a pause, he said again, "Do you know who that person is?"

Xueyan shook her head, and immediately added: "Although I don't recognize her, I know that she came here with the second wife."

Baochai immediately turned her head and asked, "Ying'er, do you know which sister is coming with my aunt today?"

Ying'er immediately interjected, "I heard from Sister Tongxi that she is the second wife's eldest girl... named Jin Chuan."

"Jin Chuan..." Xue Baochai rolled his eyes, and smiled at Xueyan calmly: "It's none of your business, go back to the house and serve your girl well!"

Xueyan responded and went back obediently.As soon as he reached the door, Baochai stopped him. "return."

Xueyan immediately turned around and asked, "What else do you want, Miss?"

"You must not let your girl know about this matter. She is in a better mood, so don't bother her." Baochai ordered lightly.

Xueyan immediately nodded and replied: "Don't worry, girl, I don't think I will say anything."

Then Baochai waved his hand and said, "Go down!"

Xueyan bowed and retreated.Back to Daiyu's room.Jinse is keeping watch outside.Seeing Xueyan's figure, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go in the cold night?"

Xueyan quietly replied: "Miss Bao asked me to talk."

Jinse was even more suspicious, and quickly asked, "What can Miss Bao tell you? Don't let the girl see you making mistakes again!"

"Of course not." Xueyan retorted somewhat angrily.Probe to look inside, there was no movement for a long time.Then he stretched out his hand and called Jin Se and said, "Come out, I'll talk to you quietly."

"Here we go again." Jinse shook her head helplessly, but she was really thinking about Xueyan's words.He got up and went to the door to listen for a while, then turned around and pulled Xue Yan's sleeve, and the two tiptoed out in the dark.

Just out of the door, I only felt a gust of cold wind blowing over.Jinse couldn't help shivering, and complained: "I'm so mysterious all day long, so tell me!"

Xueyan looked back at the house, took Jinse and walked a few steps forward, and found a secluded place with a leeward side to sit down.Then he said: "Let's talk a little farther away, don't let the girl hear you."

Jinse listened to Xueyan's non-stop detours, and hurriedly urged: "You just hurry up, and you will be in trouble when Miss Zi wakes up at night and can't call anyone."

Only then did Xueyan clear her throat, leaned close to Jinse's ear and said, "Today I saw the girl who made up girls behind her back last time."

"What?" Jinse asked dumbfounded.Mother Jia also spent a long time investigating this matter, but no news came out.Instead, it involved a nanny stealing something from the young lady.The Rongguo Mansion avoided more scandals if things got serious, so they just let it go without saying a word.Unexpectedly, another twists and turns occurred on Xueyan's end.

"That's right!" Xueyan said angrily: "I just found out today that the one who arranges our girls is the big girl next to the second wife, the one named Jin Chuan... I have long seen that the second wife is not a good person, our girl On the first day I came here, I gave a few blows. How can I live a bodhisattva... Bah!"

Jinse said quickly: "This is not a nonsense..."

"When did I spread nonsense?" Xueyan retorted with some displeasure: "It's fine if you don't believe it, anyway, I told Miss Bao, and Miss Bao just believes me."

"Miss Bao also said that?" Jinse hesitated.Having been with the Xue family for so long, Jinse still vaguely knows about Baochai's scheming methods.Since she is so determined...

"Of course. That's why Miss Bao asked me to go today. She also told me not to tell our girls! Lest the girl get sad again." Xueyan said, and sighed: "If you want to say this Miss Bao is really kind to us girls. The Rongguo Mansion is still a relative of the girl, as long as half of Miss Bao comes—"

"Okay, that's what you said." Jinse frowned and interrupted Xueyan's chatter, got up and said, "Since Miss Bao told you to keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense even if you rot in your stomach from now on." .I'm going back to the house, lest the girl wake up at night..."

Xueyan suddenly said dissatisfied: "Really... I don't know this..."

The two walked back grumblingly.No one noticed that behind the jagged fake stone, a skirt was faintly exposed.Dingding stood there for a moment, then left along an inconspicuous path.

A gust of night wind blew by, and amidst the green snow in the sky, two faint coughs could be heard...

Besides, Baochai didn't sleep well all night.For a while, I wondered what Mrs. Wang meant by arranging for her juniors, and for a while, I wondered if Xueyan had heard it wrong... Her body rolled around on the bed like a pancake, and the general beat the drum four times. Only gradually passed by.After a while, I heard the sound of people gradually walking outside, and the sound of sweeping in the morning.Baochai lay upset and got up.

I opened the curtain and looked, although the doors and windows were still covered, I saw the dazzling light on the windows, I couldn't help being startled, thinking that I got up late.He hurriedly probed to look at the wall clock, but found that it was the same time as usual when he got up, and he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

He casually picked up the heavy coat on the side and put it on his body. Baochai walked to the window with his shoes on, lifted the window drawer, and looked out from the glass window. It turned out that it was not sunlight, but a heavy snowfall last night. How thick, the bedding is on the ground in the courtyard, reflecting a piece of white.The sky is still like rubbing cotton and pulling cotton wool.

The rough servant girls in the yard are sweeping with tools, and a group of young girls are playing in the yard noisily, throwing snowballs back and forth, even Ying Ying All the children joined together to have fun.

Baochai was overjoyed at once, and hurried to the door and shouted: "Don't be too busy sweeping, it's finally snowing heavily, let them have a good time!"

You can't live there for a few days, so it's serious to have a good time.

A group of little girls couldn't help cheering after hearing Baochai's words. Ying'er rubbed her red hands and came in and said, "Miss, are you up so early?"

"I didn't sleep much at all last night." Baochai replied casually, and finished washing under Yinger's service.Put on a set of autumn-colored padded jacket, lotus-colored gold silver mouse shoulder-to-shoulder jacket, lake-green silk skirt, a pair of gold-pinned cloud-blue sheepskin boots, and a crane cloak in a sky-green feather gauze and white tiger skin. Came to Daiyu's Westinghouse.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a hoarse coughing sound.Baochai couldn't help being startled, and hurried in, but saw Daiyu leaning on the bed with a haggard look, her face was pale and weak, and she looked sick.

"What's the matter? It was fine yesterday!" Baochai said, sitting on the edge of the bed and holding Lin Daiyu's catkin on the quilt.

"Seeing the snow all over the sky last night, I somehow became playful and ran out for a while secretly, and it's like this when I got up early today." Daiyu smiled lightly.

"Gossip. The wind at night was so hard that you would die, let alone you, a sick bun. Even my physique would not dare to go out for a stroll." Xue Baochai scolded, reached out and touched Daiyu's smooth forehead, and sighed softly Said: "When can you save yourself a little worry?"

"Don't worry about what to do. I wish my sister could spend the rest of my life on my behalf. I'm so happy!" Lin Daiyu hooked the corners of her mouth and said meaningfully: "It's just a cold, just drink two doses of decoction. I'm used to drinking, and I don't care about it long ago. Sister, don't worry, I understand now, what outsiders say and do, I will just watch the show, and I will definitely not take it to heart."

When Baochai heard this, her heart trembled, and she subconsciously glanced at Xueyan, seeing Xueyan's dodging eyes, she instantly understood.Sighing softly, he said, "Sister thinks so, it's a good thing, but it's just not worth using your own body as a joke!"

"I really didn't think so, who told her that she really didn't live up to expectations! This is called unsatisfactory in the world, and who can live according to their own wishes!" Lin Daiyu sighed slightly, and said to Baochai Sighed: "Those of us who are masters can't help ourselves, think about those who are servants, wouldn't it be even more so?"

"What do you mean by my sister's words? I don't understand?" Baochai asked with a smile, and tucked Daiyu's back.

"I'm talking about that sister Jin Chuan..." Lin Daiyu sighed softly, "Since I entered the Rongguo Mansion, I have been watching with cold eyes. I only feel that there is no one who really treats me except my grandmother. On weekdays, except for my sister, There is no one who talks heart-to-heart. That day, I wandered in the garden for a long time in a depressed mood, and only wept under a peach tree. It happened that she saw it and persuaded me softly for a long time. It made me think about it... ..."

As Daiyu spoke, she let out a long sigh and said, "Perhaps she is also a slave and handmaid, and she can't help herself!"

When Baochai heard the words, she couldn't help feeling sorry for her, but she didn't agree with Sister Lin's statement even more.Immediately sneered and retorted: "This one can't help himself, and the other acts according to orders, so he can arrange others and plot against others with peace of mind? Anyone should be responsible for what they have done. There are countless maids and maids around my aunt, and she is a capable person." If she had the intention to shirk, her aunt would not refute her face because of this trivial matter. It can be seen that people may not regard this as an important matter. They just schemed against people in the front, and then came to curry favor with them, causing trouble. To be sympathetic is not to be disgusting."

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister, you mean..."

"I think this girl is very scheming! Every move has been calculated, but she also looks at her sister's temper and softness. Even if she knows what's wrong, she won't care about her previous relationship. That's why she has no fear. Keep making waves."

Lin Daiyu sighed softly, and said, "I don't think she looks like that."

Baochai patted Daiyu's arm, and said, "We haven't had a close relationship with her, so how do we know what kind of person she is. It's just that people have sinister hearts and plan for the worst and try their best. Respect me one foot, I respect others ten feet, no one is a clay bodhisattva, could it be that she was born to make arrangements to curry favor with others?"

Seeing this situation, Lin Daiyu couldn't say more, so she could only ask tentatively: "Then sister means..."

"Don't worry about this matter, I have my own rules, and I won't break her bones. It's just a small punishment and a big warning. Let her understand that our girl is not made of mud." Bringing up this topic again, he said instead: "I saw that the weather outside is really good, and there has been a lot of snow. I have never seen it in Jinling. It is very gratifying. Originally, I wanted you to accompany me. Let's go together Going out for a stroll, now that I think about it, it’s impossible—”

"It's so delicate." Lin Daiyu said, pulling herself up with difficulty, and smiled at Baochai: "I'll drink the soup and sweat later, so I'll go out with you. See Tian'er here The bed is crooked, and I am sick when I am not sick. Maybe it will be better if I walk around with you!"

"I can't do it today, at least I'll go out when I'm safe." Baochai said, not allowing Lin Daiyu to comment, and hurriedly ordered Jinse to set up breakfast, and after eating with Daiyu, she stared at Daiyu and drank the medicine That's it, then turned around and went back to the main room.

When I entered the room, I saw Mrs. Xue and Xue Pan having dinner!Xue Pan pouted pickily, looking very unhappy.

Baochai couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, brother?"

"I got up early today and said I want to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks. Where can I get him now?" Mrs. Xue said with a smile, "I'm not happy to persuade him to eat a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns."

Because she was about to move out of Rongguo Mansion in the next two days, Madam Xue also sent all unnecessary people back to Xue's mansion while packing up the boxes.I just want to deal with it in the big kitchen of Rongguo Mansion for two days, which is what I agreed with Mrs. Wang.Who knew that Xue Pan would make a fuss!

"Moving things is moving things. People have long legs and can walk by themselves. What are you doing in such a hurry?" Xue Pan muttered dissatisfied.

"Silly boy, I'm not afraid that others will think we won't leave! Besides, it's only today and tomorrow, so don't make trouble. If you really want to eat, you will leave Rongguo Mansion later. You can go to Fuyuan Restaurant to eat. Ah!" Mrs. Xue sighed, and said, "If I hadn't been concerned about Miss Yu, I would have left long ago."

When Xue Baochai heard it, she felt that there was some reason, so she couldn't help asking: "What does Mom mean by saying this? Is it possible that someone in the mansion expects us to leave soon? If so, it is better for us to leave quickly."

"I'm just saying it casually. There are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law rivalry on the left and right, and it doesn't matter to us." Mrs. Xue said a word and stopped mentioning it.

In fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that the old lady called Zhou Rui's family for a long time yesterday, and Aunt Xue was a little paranoid.

Then Baochai said, "I'm also worried about Sister Lin! You said what will she do after we leave?"

Everyone fell silent for a while.After a while, Baochai said again: "Last night Xueyan said..."

As he spoke, he told the whole story about Jin Chuan again.

When Xue Pan heard this, he couldn't help but sneered, "So it's that girl."

"Brother recognizes her?" Baochai was a little suspicious when he heard this.After all, she is the girl next to my aunt, how could my brother...

Xue Pan didn't expect the twists and turns in his sister's heart, nodded and said in a daze: "Ah, it's the golden bracelet that always pesters Baoyu to tease him to eat rouge!"

Baochai's heart moved, and after she listened carefully to Xue Pan pouring beans from the bamboo tube and telling a story, she said with a graceful smile, "Brother is going to enter the palace today?"

Xue Pan shrank his neck subconsciously, and said in a dazed voice, "The sage told me to enter the palace, and I don't know what it is?"

Xue Baochai just smiled and said nothing.She is self-confident, safe and secure at any time.She doesn't ask much about the affairs of men outside.There is a purpose in saying this suddenly today.

"When brother enters the palace, apart from seeing the Holy Majesty, can he also see the Emperor?" Xue Baochai asked calmly.

Xue Pan gasped, looked at Xue Baochai in horror and asked, "What do you want?"

Because of the troubles he had caused in the past two days, although Tu Zhen helped him clean up the mess with a dark face, it didn't feel good to be surrounded by piles of impeachment memorials.So when I saw him these two days, I let out a lot of air.Now that one of them has not finished offending, the younger sister still asks him to hook up with the emperor... I'm afraid his death is not miserable enough!

Xue Baochai was so teased that she couldn't help laughing, she curled her lips, walked behind Xue Pan, and while helping him squeeze his neck, she said, "Brother, you have worked hard. I wonder if my brother mentioned that the emperor and the empress dowager have treated Brother Lin Are you interested in the matter with Sister Lin? Can you think of a way to ask the Empress Dowager to summon her..."

To prevent those blind servants in the room from making a fuss.

Xue Pan had a headache for a while, lowered his head and muttered: "My family doesn't own the imperial palace! The Holy Majesty is very dissatisfied with me these two days! I dare not even meet the Holy Majesty let alone the Emperor! This stall requires me to meet once. I will die for the two emperors..."

His tangled appearance is like an abandoned puppy, looking at Xue Baochai eagerly.

Mrs. Xue chuckled, and quickly said: "Bao girl, stop now! Don't embarrass your brother, your brother has been in a lot of trouble recently, let's not make trouble for him."

After a pause, he said to Xue Pan again: "Don't work too hard. The matter of the Nan'an Palace is over, and the rest will be discussed when your father comes back!"

Xue Pan nodded dejectedly, not even thinking about eating.After picking up two mouthfuls of gruel casually, he put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Mrs. Xue and Baochai hurriedly got up to see them off.Xue Pan paused when he walked to the door, then turned around and said, "I will try my best to deal with sister Lin's affairs, but..."

Xue Baochai smiled knowingly, and quickly said: "I don't know anything about the outside world, so I just said it casually. If brother thinks it's inappropriate, it's better not to mention it."

Xue Pan nodded, turned and left.

Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai went to pack the box and cage without mentioning it.

In the evening, Mrs. Wang came to speak under the service of Jin Chuan.I saw that the Lixiangyuan was neatly packed, big boxes and small cages, and all kinds of packages were placed all over the floor.My heart became more and more sad.Immediately took Mrs. Xue's hand and said: "We two sisters haven't had much contact since we got married. I originally thought that you would be able to get close to Beijing this time, but who knew you would have to leave after two days of staying."

Mrs. Xue replied with a smile: "More than two months before and after, not too short. No matter how good the relationship between relatives is, it's not good to bother them like this."

Mrs. Wang immediately interjected: "My aunt's words are out of the question, aren't they?"

Mrs. Xue didn't bother, she took Mrs. Wang's hand into the inner room, and said with a smile: "The outside is full of tidied up salutes, it's a mess. Let's drink tea inside and be clean."

Mrs. Wang walked in, sized her up, and said, "Why don't you see Bao girl?"

"The girl's house is more delicate, and I'll clean it up in her room!" Mrs. Xue said, and said to Tong Xi who was beside her: "Quickly go to the Westinghouse and call Bao girl over, and have a good talk with her aunt." .”

Tong Xi responded, opened the curtain and went out.After a while, the half-worn silk curtain at the door shook, and Baochai walked in with a smile.

Mrs. Wang looked intently, and saw that Baochai was just as usual, with her raven-black hair pulled up at random, a honey-colored padded jacket, a rose-purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder-to-shoulder gown, and a green and yellow silk skirt. He insisted on letting her wear the whole body with style and grace.Can't help but love it more and more.

Baochai walked up to him and bowed first, then looked at Jin Chuan standing beside him with a pair of almond eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled and walked forward, took Jin Chuan'er's hand and said affectionately: "This My sister is so pretty. Sure enough, my aunt can pick people, seeing my sister's beauty like a spring onion, she is more decent than that girl from an ordinary family!"

Mrs. Wang listened, although she was suspicious of Baochai's sudden attention to her.But it is also a lot of pride.And now she was thinking about how to get close to Baochai. Hearing this, she quickly said jokingly, "If you like it, how about I give her to you?"

Baochai hurriedly replied: "A gentleman does not steal what others like. Sister Jin Chuan is the maidservant next to my aunt, and my aunt is very honorable. How can I steal someone's beauty! Let alone..."

Baochai rolled her eyes, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "It's a pity that sister Jin Chuan's color is placed by my side! Such a good girl should be left to Brother Bao. I heard from my brother that sister Jin Chuan and Brother Bao The relationship is very good! My aunt gave her to me, and Brother Bao will go to make trouble with my brother later, how bad it would be!"

Jin Chuan's face was flushed by the teasing, and he lowered his head firmly and did not speak.Mrs. Xue also laughed from ear to ear.When Madam Wang saw her, she could only smile and said, "Look at this precious girl, I thought she was stable, but now she's getting narrow."

Mrs. Xue explained with a smile: "So that her aunt would know that Bao girl is not a prudent character in the first place, but she is just pretending to be a person. She has a lot of weird thoughts behind her back, and she came out of the same mold as her brother."

"That's good! At the age of a little girl, she should be more innocent, as long as she doesn't make mistakes in front of others." Mrs. Wang said, she stretched out her hand to hold Xue Baochai and sat beside her. "I just like Bao girl's character."

It's just that while talking, he couldn't stop secretly looking at Jin Chuan with his eyes, with a secretive expression on his face.

When Baochai saw her, she and Mrs. Xue looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding.
