Now that Mother Jia had made up her mind, she acted immediately, and asked Nanny Lai and other companions to wipe the dominoes, talking and laughing about Baoyu and Yun'er's happy marriage.These companions have been with Jia Shishi since they were young, and their hearts are clear. In a few days, the marriage in the Duke's mansion became the focus of heated discussions in the streets and alleys.In order to let Baochai take the seat of Baochai's second grandmother, Mrs. Wang put in a lot of effort to publicize the predestined golden and jade marriage, which happened to be convenient for Jiamu.After all, compared with Xue Baochai, who was born in an imperial merchant's family, her status is low, and the golden unicorn of Shi Xiangyun, the eldest lady of the Hou family, is not enough.As for Shi Xiangyun, who was urged by Jia Baoyu to take him to the Grand View Garden early in the morning, he ate and lived with a group of sisters, and there was an elegant event of roasting venison and admiring plum blossoms.Hearing that Cui Yu mentioned the rumors about Beijing, not only was she not ashamed, but secretly rejoiced.Although Shi Xiangyun's surface is simple and honest, his mind is very meticulous, and he thought clearly in an instant.From then on, she and Lin Daiyu became as close as they could be. Sister Lin and Sister Lin called out shortly every day, telling everyone how gentle and kind, amiable and respectable Daiyu was, but her relationship with Xue Baochai became cold. , It's just a nodding acquaintance on weekdays.It's just that Yingchun is a wooden beauty, and she always refuses to say a word, and Xichun likes to be clean, indifferent to Jia Baoyu's affairs, so she doesn't have much gossip.Lin Daiyu saw that the expressions of the people in the mansion were not as respectful as before, and she already understood most of it in her heart.She is a person with an exquisite mind, how can she not know what her grandmother is planning?Guarding the cold and desolate Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu only felt sadness coming from it. Due to Qingliu's background and high-mindedness, she refused to show the slightest in front of everyone, but since then she has been [-]% indifferent to Jia Baoyu, and also to Zicuckoo. He was very close, and ordered Xueyan to guard the gate of the courtyard, only to live his own little life, and not to get involved in the disputes in the garden, and even Baoyu's birthday did not come due to illness.Such a knowledgeable and interesting appearance made Mrs. Wang gentler towards Lin Daiyu, and now Mrs. Wang is very annoyed by Jia Baoyu's history of Xiangyun. The big deal is to be a second wife for Baoyu.But the younger sister who has always been proud and arrogant, who wants to bring her daughter into a wealthy family, how can she agree, is so busy that she has no energy to take care of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.As for Daiyu, she was holding the money her father had left for her, and her hands were very generous, and her hands were generous, so the servants did not dare to underestimate Lin Daiyu, and they did not gossiping much behind their backs.

Although the pavilions, terraces and waterside pavilions in the Grand View Garden are patchwork, they each have their own characteristics, some are small and exquisite, some are thick and elegant, and overlap with each other to form colorful scenery; the garden is full of flowers, showing a thrilling beauty as the seasons change. The flowers are blooming in spring, the lotus pond is breezy in summer, the red leaves are like fire in autumn, and the red plums are becoming more and more cold under the winter sun; there is also a charming maid who shuttles among them, rippling with joy as she walks and runs. Carefree laughter.However, the successor of Rongguo Mansion was weak, but for no reason, this garden, which was full of joy and joy, was stained with a little bit of twilight, and the scenery looked a little bit depressed.Although everyone in the garden secretly shortened the quota, no one on Tanchun's side dared to make the slightest mistake.No matter how indifferent Mrs. Wang and Jiamu were to Tanchun, they never forgot the old Taoist's motto. Everywhere in the mansion knew that the third girl was praying for Baoyu, so they had all the papers and pens. That's all.During this period of time, Tanchun put away his usual fiery temper, was cautious in his words and deeds, and was even more sincere in praying for Jia Baoyu. It seemed that he really had the tranquility and indifference of a monk.In this way, no matter how dissatisfied Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were, they would calm down a little, and they would give some vegetarian dishes every now and then to show their kindness. "Is life easier now?" Jia Tanchun smiled wryly as he looked at the document sent over.The waiter looked at his girl with some doubts. The girl has become more and more peaceful these days, and even her strong temperament has changed a lot. Don't you even care about the rules?This is the girl's reliance.Now she no longer has the heart of wealth and glory of the past, and only thinks about the girl who has been with her for a lifetime. If God has mercy, she will be released from the house to be a servant one day, which is even more unexpected.

Tanchun glanced at Shishu who was standing with his hands down, and sighed helplessly.Now she is no longer the third girl who looks like a thorn rose, and there is only one confidant maid who can say a few words of heart-to-heart, she is really miserable.Thanks to this girl's loyalty these past few years, otherwise life would have been even more difficult.It's a pity that the waiter is getting older and is about to become an old lady. Although she has the heart to help, she is powerless. "I've been on the sidelines for so many years, but I've seen it through. In the past, I was all about currying favor with old ladies and wives, and I always thought that I could only rely on them to gain strength. But looking at the current situation, the good times in our house may be coming to an end. . " Hearing Tanchun's words, Shishu couldn't help but turn pale with shock, and quickly covered Tanchun's mouth.Tanchun didn't care, "I just told you this, how can I reveal half a word in front of outsiders. Seeing that the mansion is not getting better every year, a few days ago, the mansion came out one after another to ask for money. The mandarin duck failed to annoy the old lady, and Xue Pan's troubles outside caused unrest in the mansion. The trivial things that caused unrest in the mansion became more and more unruly. I didn't expect that I, a person of pure cultivation, was blessed by misfortune and got a clean. It's funny to say, our mansion Speaking of which, it is the mansion of the duke of the state, but has there ever been a rule? Although I refused to admit it in the past, I don’t know the humbleness of a maidservant and a daughter. Now that Huan’er has escaped from this sea of ​​suffering, she really has no worries.” Chun smiled bitterly, deeply worried about his family, but couldn't help showing a little gloating.Although she is clean and doesn't hear things outside the window, she has a clear mind after all, and she knows a thing or two by looking at the maids and servants around her.Those who are called serving but actually monitoring themselves have a lot of free time, how can they not arrange it at will?Even Liuli and Feicui have double duty, usually talkative, but never care about what they do.Besides, although the color of vegetarian food has not changed these days, it is obviously missing vegetable oil, and it tastes like wood, which shows how shallow the eyelids in this house are.I'm afraid it's hard to make ends meet now, and the money is not so easy to get. The kitchen staff will resort to tricks of plucking the feathers, and even a mosquito will have to bite a piece of meat to be satisfied.

"Secretary, you are no better than me, a half Taoist nun who doesn't care about common matters, and has family members working in the mansion. Let's go inquire and see how deep and muddy the water in Rongguo Mansion is." The corner of Tan Chun's mouth A cold smile emerged, since her future was ruined and she had nowhere to go, so she must have wasted her life, so it's okay to watch the jokes of people who are ruthless to her.

Just when the old concubine passed away, all the wives in the mansion had to go to offer their condolences, and the family couldn't find a candidate for a while.It had already been agreed that Li Wan would take the girls to try out housekeeping, and Baochai would be a supervisor; but since Jia Shishi had made up his mind to make Shi Xiangyun his granddaughter-in-law, he was naturally unwilling to lag behind, and took this opportunity to make Shi Xiangyun Pushing it out and asking her, the eldest girl in the Bowling Marquis's Mansion, to assist in all matters, can be regarded as a confirmation of the rumors she released.When Xue Baochai heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, her fingernails slashed across the table, leaving a scratch, and then she resumed her usual dignified and calm, but became somewhat self-reliant.Aunt Xue couldn't hold her breath, and immediately put on a straight face, wanting to ask her sister what happened. "Mom, don't be angry." Xue Baochai asked Ying'er to retreat with the maids, and just brought a cup of tea to her mother. "What's this called? Originally, your aunt had already agreed to give you a reputation. Supervising all the girls is the job of the grandma, but Shi Xiangyun intervened, and it seemed that she had entrusted it all to her." In general, it’s really annoying. My son, you are nearly twenty years old, and you can’t afford to delay any longer.” “Mom, why don’t you be in a hurry, but we only wanted to go to Beijing at the beginning, except for Xiaoxuan. It's been a long time to marry Baoyu. Fortunately, my aunt is devoted to us, and she will never want Shi Xiangyun, who was born in a historian, to be her daughter-in-law. Although the old lady occupies the seniority, my aunt is Baoyu's mother after all, and she is A person who can really be the master." How could Xue Baochai be willing to do this, and she spent her most beautiful youth in her life, but she was still unmarried, and she only wanted Xue's family to be sheltered.Thinking of the elder brother who kept getting into trouble with cockfighting and lackeys, I couldn't help feeling a little sad in my heart.

"I think that Lin girl is pitiful and respectable. You should walk around with her more often now." Aunt Xue sighed, although now Lin Daiyu is no longer a noble lady, she can only be sent to others, gone. What weight, but after all, it is Jia Mu's direct granddaughter. If she gets closer to the Lin family's girl, others will think that Baochai is kind and considerate.Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun is now in charge of Rongguo Mansion, but he lives in Qiushuangzhai where Tanchuntiao used to be, so there is no problem.Although Jia Shishi is no longer in the mansion, the girl in the room sent some good things over every three days, saying that the old lady told Miss Yun to choose first, which attracted Jia Baoyu to sit there often and discuss the location of the decorations. , this thought is too straightforward. "Mom, they are all poor people who have no father to rely on. Why did I disturb Sister Lin's peace? If she hadn't been the old lady's favorite person, I would not have competed with her everywhere and wanted to suppress her It's over. She's lonely now, and she doesn't have the old lady's favor. She even dares to abuse the servants, and the quota is cut from her. Why should we pull her in again, and make it difficult for her." Xue Baochai shook her head. However, if she is sincere, she wants to be friends with Lin Daiyu. She seems to be tricky and mean, but in fact, everything is not on her mind. Compared with Shi Xiangyun's innocence, it is the real generosity.Forget it, Daiyu is in a very difficult situation now, and her health is getting worse and worse, so she has to close the door and endure the day, how can I have the heart to put her in a dilemma, making things worse, after all, everyone has their own destiny.It's just that the Rongguo Mansion has taken so much money from their Xue family, and my elder brother is not a shrewd and capable man. Even if he has an uncle to help him, he can't take care of him for the rest of his life. It must be done, Xue Baochai's eyes flashed with determination.
