The Honor of the Red Chamber

But because of the dispute caused by the brochure, the sisters were in a bad mood, and they were too lazy to write poems, so they got together in twos and threes, and only talked about needlewomen. Daiyu's nature was always weak, and she couldn't last long. When they didn't arrive, they all said goodbye and went out.

Everyone was sitting in a carriage. As soon as they left the Lin residence, they saw Lin Ruhai and three young men, followed by a group of attendants, riding towards this side. Their court clothes had not been changed, and they seemed to have just returned from the palace. Among the three young men, there was one they knew, Jia Rong. They had never seen Jia Rong dressed in a military general's court uniform, with a handsome and smiling face, straight and upright. The horse's heroic posture is really eye-catching.

It's just that although they are women, they each have their own shrewdness, intelligence and dexterity, and their knowledge is no less than that of men. They saw that the other two men were half a horse taller than Lin Ruhai and Jia Rong along the way. The flattering posture, but also respectful and polite, the meaning of this is self-evident, so they raised the corners of the car curtain one after another, and stole a look at the two people.

Although they have extraordinary knowledge, they are talking about wars on paper after all, but the young men they have met in their lives are limited, no more than the generation of father and brother, Jia Jing, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Baoyu, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Xue Pan and others, really outstanding There are really only a handful of them, so I thought that the best men in the world were nothing more than that, and when the love first opened, there was only one Baoyu who loved the fragrance and cherished jade by my side, so I put all my hearts on one person, but I didn't expect to see these two men suddenly today. Gentle and elegant, a handsome and sunny, with a handsome appearance and a noble air, not to mention the outstanding appearance, but the whole body bearing, even ten precious jades are not as good as a finger.

While secretly feeling melancholy, they thought of Daiyu's faint affection for Baoyu. Before, they thought Daiyu was pretending to be distant, but she was actually aloof. Now they suddenly realized that if they were Daiyu, and they had met such an outstanding man, I'm afraid I will look down on Baoyu!

There, Lin Ruhai had already arrived in front of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Are the girls from Jia's mansion in the carriage? It's so early in the morning, why don't you stay for a while? But my son doesn't greet well?"

The sisters just changed their minds in their hearts, but they didn't think about it. Because Lin Ruhai spoke, everyone looked at each other, but they didn't know who to answer. Sister Li Wan and Feng didn't follow, and Li Wen's generation was a guest, and they should have been Sanchun. The answer is, Yingchun is the biggest girl in the Jia family, she should speak out, but she is cowardly, squirming her lips, unable to utter a word, Tanchun is not in this carriage, everyone turns their attention to Xichun, Because she invited them here, it's okay for her to speak. Xichun originally wanted Yingchun to speak, but also to practice her courage. Unexpectedly, Yingchun would not live up to her expectations. She glared at Yingchun and was about to speak when the carriage behind them Someone suddenly spoke up, and couldn't help being stunned.

But Baochai, through the curtain, replied dignifiedly and calmly, "Uncle Xie Lin asked for inquiries. Sister Lin is weak by nature. It turned out that our sisters came uninvited and disturbed Sister Lin. Although Sister Lin wanted to entertain, we couldn't." Disregarding the affection of sisters, the sisters get together, the length of time is not in the original."

Jia Rong folded her mouth and folded her arms and stood aside without saying a word. The other two men - Shui Xuan and the sixth prince Shui Jue saw this, and they were not in a hurry to enter the mansion. Shui Xuan was fine and behaved like a gentleman Looking away, Shui Jue looked at this side with a smile on his face.

Baochai's words made the caring person's face turn blue and then turn pale. Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "As expected, she is a girl from the Xue family. She is really caring. It's a blessing for my son to have a sister like you. Since this is the case, I am inconvenient." Stay with you more, and if you have time, you can often visit my son."

Baochai responded respectfully, and all the sisters averted their prying gazes boredly, thinking about each other, all the way in silence, no one spoke.

When all the sisters came back from the Lin Mansion, Xi Chun was full of displeasure, so she went back to the Ningguo Mansion, and the rest went to Jia Mu's room to flatter and flatter her, but they coincidentally did not mention a single word about the quarrel caused by the booklet, or what happened in the Lin Mansion. What happened at the door.

After leaving Jia Mu's house, they talked to each other, and they dispersed at the gate of the garden.

Baochai held Ying'er's hand and walked slowly towards Hengwuyuan. Along the way, her heart was overwhelmed, and she was in unbearable pain. Her body, which had been icy in the past, was turbulent and hot. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face became more flushed. Knowing that the heat and poison in the body can't be suppressed, but it's no wonder.

She didn't want to go to the Lin Mansion, but when Daiyu lived in Jia's Mansion, she was waiting for an election, her mother was by her side, her brother loved her even though he was absurd, and she won over the Jia Mansion again, and she was in the limelight for a while. Even Sanchun wanted to avoid her sharp edge, and recognized her as the leader, and everyone said that she was not as good as Daiyu, who was shoulder to shoulder with her everywhere. She naturally looked down on this little orphan girl who lived under the fence, just because Daiyu was Jia. The mother's heart is flesh and blood, so it's nothing more than closeness.

It's just that she didn't expect that when Lin Ruhai, Daiyu's father, returned to Beijing to report on his work, everything changed. It was also at this moment that she faintly realized what was in her heart - jealousy!

It's just that even after Daiyu returned home, her relationship with Daiyu didn't turn bad, and the little bit of jealousy gradually dissipated with the passage of time. She thought that her relationship with Daiyu was just like that. Near, just right, who would have thought that today's trip to the Lin Mansion would break her self-deception!

Don't say that Miss Gonghou like Xichun has always looked down on her. Although she understands it, she doesn't care about it. If she is inferior to her, she is inferior to her. Right when Xichun and others are jealous, but now that she sees Daiyu, she is truly Understand, the real Miss Gonghou is by no means comparable to her after being an imperial businessman. She is not as dull as others. Once she saw Lin Ruhai and Jia Rong's attitude towards the two men, she knew the identities of the two men. ——Look who my father's nephew is dating, he is a dignified prince! !Then think about who her brother is dating, a group of playboys, actors and child molesters who eat, drink and have fun!

The more she contrasts the two sides, the more unwilling, the more unhappy, the more difficult it is to suppress the heat in her heart!

Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and under Ying'er's puzzled eyes, said calmly, "Let's go to Auntie's place!"

Baochai suddenly turned to Mrs. Wang's room, and Xiangyun led Cuilu over there, bouncing around, and returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in a good mood.

Xiangyun was originally a generous and open-minded person, and he didn't like the exquisiteness and elegance of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but he liked the residences of Tanchun and Baochai very much. In order to let her live closer to Baoyu, Jia's mother only let her live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Although Baoyu has not diminished his compassion for women, he still lacks those charming and charming meanings, such as eating rouge, rubbing the neck of a servant girl, etc., and Jin Chuan'er's death is in front of him, and he is farther away from the girls. But Xiangyun, his childhood playmate, is still very good, and they are the only two of them who are close in the whole house. Xiangyun is proud of this, and naturally looks down on the "girls' house rules" that are full of words, but he often stays alone in the house. Baochai in Baoyu's inner room, even if Baochai intends to win him over, Xiangyun still looks down on him.

Today in the Lin Mansion, Xichun gave Baochai face, but Xiangyun didn't show it on the surface, but he was very gloating in his heart-I told you to pretend to be virtuous all day long, but sister Xichun has a nephew of a second-rank official to support her, and it is you A daughter of an imperial merchant can afford it?

Although Xiangyun is simple, she is not stupid. She saw too many wives and concubines fighting in the backyard of her uncle's house, so she read the booklet and said she didn't believe it, but she believed it in her heart. She is open-minded by nature, so she doesn't take these things to heart It's just that Xichun's words are harsh but reasonable, which inevitably makes people think too much - her uncle Shihou has several concubines, Baoyu has two concubines, and Xue's family has none. Baochai was raised by such a mother, who would think that she is truly magnanimous, those words are really high-sounding, but they are extremely irresponsible, if they mislead the sisters present, they will have a bad life in the future, how can they find Can't she settle the score?

Thinking of this, she became even more disgusted with her usual fear of Baochai. She entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion here, and before she could catch her breath, a maid came to invite her to see Mrs. Wang. Naturally, she didn't like Baochai's aunt Mrs. Wang, but she just thought of Baoyu, but she couldn't neglect it, so she lingered and left.

She didn't expect that this trip would solve a huge disaster for herself!

Even though Xiangyun hated Baochai, at most she despised her in her heart, but she never thought of doing anything to her. She never thought that a girl in a boudoir, her sister and sister call her affectionately on weekdays, even if She knew it was a lie, so she was not touched in the slightest, but it was such a person who just chatted and laughed with them in the Lin Mansion, and suddenly thought of such a vicious idea to plot her to death! !

When I heard the words of those two seemingly merciful and kind people in my ears, my heart felt like ice and snow.

"You child, you are really caring. You know how to be filial to the elders. Baoyu has so many sisters, but you are the only one who remembers to come and say a few words with me every day. Good boy, you are so caring, how can I teach my aunt how to be willing to leave?" about you!"

"Auntie said that, but she is out of touch. My aunt treats me like a mother and daughter, but I can't repay it! It is my blessing to be with my aunt every day, and to be taught by my aunt. Besides, the other side Sisters, after all, if they are not relatives, there is no need to worry about Auntie, Brother Baoyu is more energetic now, and will be filial to Auntie in the future, and the inexhaustible blessings that Auntie can enjoy are yet to come!"

"You child, you know how to comfort others. What kind of endless blessings do you have? Now you are worrying me to death. Although Baoyu is promising, but seeing that he is getting older, what should I do if no one controls the backyard for him? My wife likes that one, she is too lively, she has no parental upbringing since she was a child, and the rules are really bad, which family's mistress can have such a temper, it doesn't hurt my Baoyu, it's really sad to think about it!"

"Auntie has a motherly heart. Brother Baoyu can understand it for himself. I looked at it coldly. Brother Baoyu just regarded her as a younger sister and had no other intentions. If Auntie is worried, don't think of a way to prevent her from marrying Baoyu. Forget it, although her uncle is Lord Marquis, if she doesn't live up to her expectations, her uncle won't be able to argue for her, and the old lady won't hurt the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren for the sake of outsiders."

"Oh, she is really a good girl, she can share the worries of the elders, she is not a delicate orphan girl, even if something happens, she will be sad for a while, she will definitely not seek death, and she will just compensate her with some money and jewelry. It’s just this method, but I don’t know how to do it.”

"My aunt is worrying too much. Brother Baoyu is not the only one who has reached the age of marriage in Jia's mansion. We went to Lin's mansion today, but when we went out, we saw Brother Rong from Dong's mansion. Now he is getting better and better. I heard that The wife next to him is also trying to make sense of him. Although he is not a good match in seniority and Brother Rong is marrying again, but first of all, according to the old lady, he is a generation behind in seniority, but there is no blood relationship. It is also common in families like ours. Can a royal uncle and nephew marry a sister? Second, with Brother Rong’s current status, he is a member of the second rank at a young age, and it is just around the corner to become a first rank in the future. , it is not far from being matched with a prince's daughter, and Brother Rong's fate is a bit tougher, most people are afraid that they will not be able to suppress it, so she is only worthy of her destiny to overcome her father and mother, which is just right."

"Speaking of it this way, I figured it out. Isn't this a good marriage made in heaven? Brother Rong is a promising man, and he doesn't feel wronged when he matches her, but he doesn't know how to talk to the old lady..."

"My aunt's concern is messed up. It's better to let them see each other themselves. How can Brother Baoyu invite Brother Rong to come in and have a look at the two sides. If you are interested, it's not too late to mention it to the old lady!"

"That's right, it's true if they like it, if they like it..."

Xiangyun overheard this, his eyes were burning, his whole body was shaking, his heart was beating wildly, if it wasn't for Cui Ling, he would have collapsed to the ground!

She just wished she could kick the door of the room, break in and curse at the two, and wanted to drag them out, praying that God would strike two thunderbolts to punish the wicked, but after all, it was a girl's house, and she was living in someone else's house Yes, even if she has all kinds of grievances, she can't do things like that regardless of her image!

Even if my aunt was wronged by her, it was not as terrible as it is now. After thinking about it, she didn't know what to do. Two lines of hot tears rolled down, covering her face, ignoring Cui Ling who was standing aside in fear, she turned around and walked away. Li didn't dare to shout loudly, and hurriedly followed, she could understand, angry and hated in her heart, she didn't know how to comfort the master, and couldn't help wiping her tears like her master!

Xiangyun is not a person like Daiyu who swallows his anger, she is about to go to Jia Mu to make decisions for her, but firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, living in someone else's house, how can trouble be caused?She is a little girl, although she is smarter than others, she is unavoidably at a loss when encountering such a private matter, and thinking of the so-called "method" mentioned by these two people, she can't help shivering, and her heart is in a mess!

She always loves to laugh and make trouble, but now she is crying pitifully. The master and servant are going to the Xiaoxiang Hall like this, and they are being bumped into by Yingchun who is full of worries.
