New Dream of Red Mansions

Seeing them coming back, Baochai smiled and said, "Coincidentally, just as someone was about to call you, you came back."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "She must have smelled the pot made by my aunt. This gluttonous cat will come back as long as it smells delicious."

"I just asked. My aunt has prepared a lot of delicious food, but not only pots, but also the dim sum I ate at Sister Bao's place last time. Is it Jinling's taste?"

A few people started talking about food, Tanchun pulled Xiyan over, and asked in a low voice: "Old lady, let's ask someone to tell the lady."

Xiyan nodded, "Just let the little girl go for a while."

Everyone happily ate at Aunt Xue's place and went back together. On the way, Xiyan asked Baoyu curiously, "I heard that Cousin Xue is ill, can Baoyu visit?"

Baoyu waved his hand nonchalantly, "He's not sick at all, it's just that he was detained at home by his aunt."

"It's not that you pester him to play with you, so you don't want to go home and anger your aunt?"

Baoyu was very wronged, "In addition to going to the academy these days, I stayed at home with my sisters. Where did I go out to play? He had a good time with Brother Lizhen and a few nephews in the East Mansion, so it has nothing to do with me."

Tanchun hurriedly testified, "I know this, and my second brother has been helping me sort out the manuscripts these days."

Xiyan sighed: "It's just that I saw that Cousin Xue was at home, and Sister Bao couldn't come and play with us."

Baoyu raised his brows, and smiled for a moment: "What's the problem? Cousin Xue must be impatient. When Brother Zhen comes to invite her, Auntie won't stop her. I'll ask them later. What to play, just let them bring Cousin Xue to play together."

Daiyu just glanced at Xiyan and disagreed.

Back in her room, Daiyu taught her, "They only care about their own affairs, so why worry about it? If something happens in the future, it will have nothing to do with you. If people know what you have done today, those people will inevitably blame you. on you."

Xiyan said indifferently: "Cousin Xue already had a good time with the people in the East Mansion. Is it the same if I don't mention it? It's just to save people?"

Daiyu was surprised, so Xiyan told about Xiangling, saying: "I always felt sorry for her, when the Jin family took you away, I was most afraid that she would leave you anywhere, if she was caught Take the kidnapper away, I'm afraid I will never find him in my life. She is gentle and gentle, so I will feel more pity for her."

Daiyu bit her lip, "She is actually the daughter of a scholarly family, why don't you tell Aunt Xue and the others to let her go, it can be regarded as doing good deeds."

Xiyan sneered, "Xiangling is pitiful to us, but to the Xue family, Xiangling is somewhat hateful. Aunt Xue was dissatisfied with her when Cousin Xue beat someone to death for her. Who knows what will happen to her heart? It’s better to find her family and let them redeem her.”

"It's just that she is a dead bond."

Xiyan said indifferently: "The Xue family has the final say on the contract of life and death, and the Zhen family also has some background. With this reputation, they will not let people go."

Daiyu didn't say anything anymore, but because of Xiyan's influence, she had a good impression of Xiangling, and she was even more kind to her in the past.

Xiangling is pure in heart, seeing that Daiyu likes her, she also likes Daiyu even more.This is a later story.

At this time, Baoyu returned to Jiamu's place, invited Ann, and went back to the room to rest. He was so angry that he ran to Lixiangyuan today without saying a word, causing her to lie in the house and ignore her as soon as she found it.

Baoyu had a good time to coax, Xiren snorted coldly, "Don't coax me either, I don't have to worry about you when I go out someday."

Baoyu panicked, "My good sister, what do you say, why did you get out of it?"

"You think we are not pleasing to the eye, what are we doing here if we don't go out? Don't say anything else, just say that today, I am your girl, and I don't even know where the master went back to the house. The master asked me even more." Three don't know, the master is merciful, so naturally he won't do anything to me, but the people below will inevitably not say anything."

Baoyu quickly apologized, "At first I wanted to go back to the house, but at that time I heard that Cousin Xue was ill, so I turned to see it, and I never thought that the master would know."

Xiren knew Baoyu's temperament very well, and said that he was anxious to see Xue Pan, and he would not believe it if he killed her.

It's just that she didn't dare to do too much, she just forced Baoyu to swear that she wouldn't say anything in the future and just ran away.

But Baoyu had long forgotten what Xiyan explained to her, and when she remembered it two days later, Baoyu patted her forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot a big thing."

Xiren hurriedly asked, "What important event did you forget?"

"Sister Yan told me one thing, but I forgot about it two days ago. Now it's terrible. I have to go to the East Mansion."

Qingwen hurriedly stopped him, "You only forgot this one thing? I think you forgot another big thing. Today is the day when Miss Shi Da came to the mansion. The girls all went to the old lady's place. You said you Did you forget?"

Baoyu panicked even more, "Oh, I forgot about Sister Yun."

Baoyu ran into Jiamu's room in a hurry, and when he got to the door, he heard chatter and laughter inside. Shi Xiangyun was sitting beside Jiamu, talking and laughing. "Where does the second brother come from?"

"I'm in the room, I'm sleepy, I heard you talking and laughing, so I know you're here." Seeing Daiyu sitting on the side and whispering to Xiyan, Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I just heard that you coughed again." Is it better? Do you want to call the imperial doctor to have a look?"

"It's not a serious illness, but it's much better than before, and I'm still taking the old prescription, so I don't need to ask a doctor anymore."

Xi Yan hurriedly said: "It would be great if we could invite an imperial physician to re-prescribe the medicine, that prescription has been taken for a long time."

"I'll call for someone later."

Xiangyun and Baochai said a few words, and when they saw the lively talk, they ran over, "Second Brother, Sister Lin, Sister Yan, you play together all day long, and you ignore me when I come."

Daiyu laughed at her, "I bit my tongue, and I prefer to call 'Second Brother'. The next day when I play cards, I should say 'Yao Ai Three Four Five'"

Baoyu laughed and said, "You learn from her, and you will be like this in the future."

The three of them were fighting together, and Xiyan waited for them to calm down for a while before asking: "How long will you be staying this time? I saw you moved all your belongings here."

Jia's mother smiled on it and said, "Your uncle was promoted to control the nine provinces, and he was ordered to patrol the border. When a war broke out in the north, her uncle would also be busy with her. No one in the family cares about her. This time, I will stay longer. Go back after the new year. You see where you live this time, and I'll let someone clean up the place for you. "

Xiangyun took Daiyu's hand and said, "I still live with Sister Lin, so my ancestors don't need to tidy up the house."

"It's just right, your sisters are used to living together, so don't quarrel this time."

Xiyan laughed and said, "Don't worry, old ancestor, if they dare to quarrel with me, I will sweep them all out with a big broom."

Jia's mother cheered, "It's so good, I see you guys still dare to quarrel."

Daiyu twisted Xiangyun, "What about you, don't make any noise next time."

Xiang Yun also pinched her, "If you hadn't been picky, I would never have quarreled with you."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "This is not noisy again."

Xiangyun is an unorthodox one. She took over the job of taking Daiyu out for a walk every afternoon when she came, and took Daiyu out early every day, and only came back at night. Wherever I go, I have to go in and sit down, even my sister-in-law's place, and it's not too far away to go there."

"It's better to walk more."

Xiyan was a little absent-minded. The last time she heard about Prince Teng's promotion from Jia's mother, although the Dream of the Red Chamber hinted at some political struggles indistinctly, she didn't actually mention it explicitly, but she knew that the past two years were the key.At this time, the war in the north started, and it was not known whether it was good or bad.

Xiyan was thinking about the war in the north, and the next day, Manager Zhuang delivered a message.He wants to see her.

Wang Xiyan burned the letter and said expressionlessly, "Let him in."

If there was no serious matter, Manager Zhuang would not have asked to see her.
