[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

When Baoyu entered the room, he obediently greeted Shi Taijun: "Old ancestor." He also greeted Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and several sister-in-laws.

When he saw Jia Min, he didn't know him.

"This is your aunt!" Shi Taijun pulled his daughter over and told him, and Baoyu hurriedly bowed his hands.

Several girls also came out from behind the screen. Shi Taijun was even more delighted to see the children in the room, and said to them one by one: "This is your younger brother and sister from your aunt Lin's family. This is your sister Yan, this is your sister Yu, this is You brother Yan."

Although Yanyu was full of vigilance towards Baoyu, she also called her second elder brother like her younger siblings.

Baoyu politely greeted the cousins ​​and sisters who met for the first time, but when she looked at Daiyu, she suddenly froze for a moment, and then smiled lightly: "May I meet the second sister of the Lin family?"

Daiyu blushed in shock, and subconsciously looked anxiously at her sister.Yanyu's heart skipped a beat, she stretched out her hand calmly and pulled Daiyu to her side, and said: "This is the first time we came to the capital with our parents and mother, and we have never seen our second cousin before, you must have misunderstood the person!" She The tone of her voice was very gentle, but there was a sense of irresistibility; after all, the Jia family was the mother's natal family, and Jia Baoyu was the mother's nephew, so she only took this into consideration to speak mildly.

But since someone related to Fairy Jing Huan said such things to Dai Yu now, it only made Yan Yu more vigilant.

Yanyu has been thinking secretly in her heart, she should think of a way to make her sister less contact with this person, so as to avoid troubles in the future.

"I just look at my sister with a very kind face!" Baoyu said timidly when he saw Yanyu's firm expression, even a bit like a elder sister, which made him inexplicably afraid.

Shi Taijun has always loved this grandson very much, and when he heard him say this, he could only say: "Your sister is from Yangzhou, you haven't seen her before." Then he turned around and said with a smile to Jia Min, "This kid is talking nonsense again!"

Jia Min just smiled along, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Yanyu could see clearly, so she took her younger sister to her mother; Yan'er, who had been staying beside Jia Min, also pulled Daiyu to talk to her in a low voice, Yanyu saw her younger sister's expression seemed to gradually relax.

Mrs. Wang also seemed a little disturbed by Cai Baoyu's nonsense just now, so she took a few steps forward to talk to Jia Min: "This child is not sensible. I have been spoiled since he was a child. I hope my sister will forgive me."

Jia Min smiled rather than said: "What is the second sister-in-law talking about! It's just a child's play."

Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

Looking at Baoyu's expression, it seems that he still wants to talk to Daiyu, but when he comes back to his senses, he sees that Daiyu has already been pulled away by Yanyu, and their siblings are talking aside, so they stay silent.

Shi Taijun ordered Nanny Lai to set up a meal here, and after sitting down, he pulled Jia Min to sit beside her, and all the men and girls of the junior generation sat down at the big round table, such as Xing, Mrs. Wang and the young one The daughter-in-law of the previous generation served in Pangbucai.

Yanyu and Daiyu sat down next to each other. Seeing Sanchun's behavior, she remembered that Mrs. Jiang always said that Gongqing's family had many rules.

When Jia Min saw the cloth dishes on the table, tears welled up in his eyes, and he called out to his mother in a low voice.

"Knowing that you are coming back today, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite food." Shi Taijun loves the only daughter the most. Since he heard that the Lin family went back and forth to Beijing to see their daughter, he ordered the kitchen to prepare Jia Min before leaving the pavilion. I used to eat my favorite food when I was a child; now it is so beautifully arranged, reminding Jia Min that when she was a girl, her mother always loved her so much, and her heart became more and more touched.

Seeing the daughter-in-laws who were waiting, Shi Taijun asked them to sit down without waiting: "Today, when my aunt comes back, you also sit down and eat together, don't be restrained."

The maid added two more embroidered piers, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang sat down under Shi Taijun and used some together.

After dinner, Shi Taijun still asked Jia Min to talk privately, so he sent his daughter-in-law not to wait in front of him, and asked Sanchun to take sisters Yanyu and Daiyu to play in the garden.

It happened that another boy came to answer and said that the second master called the second master Bao to come over.Baoyu's face darkened suddenly, and Shi Taijun couldn't help laughing and said: "Your father called you, and it happened that Uncle Lin was here. He should ask you about your studies; don't hurry over." Baoyu reluctantly followed the boy to the front yard. up.

"This child, Baoyu, grew up beside me. He is very smart and well-behaved." When Shi Taijun mentioned his grandson to Jia Min, he was also full of love for him.

"I see that Brother Bao is also a smart child." Although Jia Min smiled and agreed with his mother, he changed the subject, "It's just that the second brother is Bao Ge'er's father after all; the second brother disciplines the child, and the mother doesn't want it." It's for the good of Brother Bao." She knows her mother too well, and she thinks that her mother dotes on the child too much, and her second brother is a dutiful son who doesn't want to disobey his mother, so he cultivated the child's docile appearance, and a few nieces I don't know the difference between men and women at this age when I get along with them.

This word came from Jia Min, and Shi Taijun felt it was very pleasing to his ears, he caressed her hand and said with a smile: "I also don't want to part with Baoyu. You know your second brother—" It was a sigh.

Jia Min knew it well, and just gently persuaded her mother.

Sanchun took Yanyu and Daiyu to play in the garden. In fact, it was Tanchun leading them to talk to their sisters, and occasionally Xichun would interject a few words.There are maids and women who follow the lanterns, which have a special charm under the bright moonlight; the flowers and leaves all over the courtyard are hazy, as if shy and shy, hidden in the light moonlight.

"When Qiqiao arrives, all the flowers in the courtyard are in bloom, and I put melons and fruits on the table to worship Seventh Sister." Tanchun was talking to Daiyu, and then thought of asking, "Sister Yu, I heard from my ancestors and aunts that when Qiqiao arrives, you will be with me." Sister Yan also came to the mansion to celebrate together?"

Daiyu took Yanyu's hand and said softly, "I'll listen to my mother and sister."

Yanyu smiled and listened to her younger sister talking with Tanchun, without interrupting what they said; although she was younger than Yingchun, she was more reserved and steady like the older sister among them.

After strolling around the garden for a while, Amber who was beside Shi Taijun came over and said, "Cousin girl, the old lady and auntie are looking for you."

Thinking it was time to go back, Yanyu and Daiyu followed Hu Po back to the courtyard.

Jia Min gave Shi Taijun the gifts she brought, and distributed the gifts prepared for the children to them; Sanchun happily thanked her aunt.

Lin Ruhai came to bid farewell to his mother-in-law, and Jia Min also reluctantly took the child to say goodbye to Shi Taijun.

"Min'er, let the children come and play often in the future." Shi Taijun looked at Yanyu, Daiyu and Yan'er who were standing obediently beside Jia Min, and reminded her.

"Don't worry, mother." Jia Min responded.

It was not until he got into the carriage that Jia Min put down the curtain reluctantly.The children sat down beside Jia Min, Yanyu held Daiyu's hand and talked to her in a low voice, Yan'er nestled next to her sister quietly listening to the two sisters whispering.

Jia Min looked at their siblings and asked them, "Do you like to come to grandparents' house to play?"

The two sisters looked at each other, but Yan'er said first, "Of course I like it. Grandma gave me a lot of delicious pastries."

Listening to his childish answer, Jia Min couldn't help but chuckled and caressed Yan'er, and Daiyu looked at him and laughed: "There are delicious pastries at home, but it seems like you won't be allowed to eat them."

Yan'er puffed up her cheeks: "That's different."

Jia Min hugged Yan'er and let him rest on her body, then asked sisters Yanyu and Daiyu, "How many sisters do you like?"

"The third sister is very kind, she keeps talking to me and my elder sister." Daiyu nodded, and said seriously, "But the second elder sister seldom talks, and the fourth younger sister is still young." The implication is that she likes the third younger sister most. spring.

Yanyu also nodded to agree with her sister's words.

Jia Min hesitated for a while, then asked, "What about Brother Bao?"

Hearing her mother mention Baoyu suddenly, Yanyu immediately pricked up her ears, and saw her younger sister frowning in displeasure, leaning against Jia Min and saying, "I don't like my second cousin."

"It's okay, I'll just play with a few sisters from now on." Jia Min made it clear, and said in a gentle voice without asking any more questions, "Brother Bao is not young, so he shouldn't still be playing with the sisters, it's my mother's wife. Pamper him."

"Mr. said that men and women have different seats at seven years old. But my grandmother said that my second cousin still lives in the same courtyard with my sisters." Yanyu reminded Jia Min of this incident.

In fact, looking at Jia Min's different attitude towards Bao Yuyou today, it made Yan Yu think of some seemingly true and false things that she heard privately discussed by her mother-in-law.

It is said that a few years ago, my grandmother wanted to get closer and let one of their sisters marry to Rongguo Mansion.It's just that their sisters are young after all, and their parents are reluctant to make their marriage too early, so it's nothing.

If it is said that they are close relatives, Baoyu is the only cousin in the Rongguo Mansion who is similar in age to their sisters.

Thinking of this level, it is even more impossible for Yanyu to let this happen, so she is committed to working hard on Jia Min first.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Jia Min's expression changed obviously, obviously he had thought about it.

Yanyu picked up this topic and asked intentionally: "Mom, I saw a jade around my second cousin's neck today, it looked very strange. Does mother know the reason?" Actually, she was very concerned about Baoyu's jade. The source of the jade is Yichu Youchu. When I was young, I always heard that there was a cousin who was born with a jade in my grandfather's family. It was very strange; now I see that piece of jade. How can Yanyu not understand the reason for this.

Then I heard Jia Min talking about the source of that piece of jade. Daiyu was listening curiously, but it was Yan'er who asked Jia Min seriously: "Mother, why does my second cousin have jade, but my sisters and I don't know?" No jade at all?"

"Perhaps, the second cousin is different from us." Yanyu said to Yan'er with deep meaning, and Yan'er nodded with a half understanding.

Since it is different from them, it is either a fairy or a demon!

Both Yan'er and Daiyu didn't understand these words, but it was impossible for Jia Min, who often went to worship gods and Buddhas, to have no doubts.
