Enter the red building

Shui Linglong is dressed in fiery red Lianyun autumn brocade, without makeup, but the color is as beautiful and delicate as the morning glow, like the peony among the flowers, rich and rich, unrestrained, with slanting temples like willow leaves, fair skin, vermilion lips, There is joy between the eyebrows.Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, was dressed in a plain embroidered pink dress, with a delicate and coquettish figure, and a blush on her white as snow cheeks. The eyes are crystal clear, standing tall and smiling, like smoke and mist, hazy.

The two are beautiful in different styles, but they are equally beautiful.

Mrs. Xue hurried forward and asked, "Miss Shui, why are you here when you have time?"

Shui Linglong smiled, "Could it be that Auntie doesn't welcome you?"

Mrs. Xue quickly took Shui Linglong's hand, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? It's just Qiu'er, he—" Mrs. Xue already knew that Shui Linglong's status was not low last time, and she must have come here because of Qiu'er .

Shui Linglong knew what Mrs. Xue was going to say, and said: "I know he led the troops, this time he came here to visit Auntie, Auntie, don't blame me for being abrupt."

Mrs. Xue said repeatedly: "Look at you! I'm so happy that you can come to see me as an old woman." Although she was not familiar with her, Mrs. Xue did not know Shui Linglong at all.

Shui Linglong was very happy for Mrs. Xue's closeness, but she was actually a little uneasy. She had clearly told her last time that she didn't like her and would not marry her, but she still couldn't help but want to come to Xue's house. I want to know what kind of person Xue Qiu likes the woman, and why Xue Qiu suddenly invites himself to be a soldier.That's it, I came here, maybe I haven't let go, I still can't forget Xue Qiu in my heart, and his voice, appearance and appearance often appear in my mind.

Shui Linglong thought that Xue Qiu must not understand herself, if she was better than the person he liked, maybe he would like her.Shui Linglong didn't know when she started thinking like this, maybe she was deceiving herself.

But Shui Linglong knew that it was impossible for her to let go, because once the relationship started, she couldn't stop it.Shui Linglong couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of her thoughts.

Xue Baoqin came over at this moment and said, "Mom, don't stand outside and talk."

Mrs. Xue nodded and said with a smile: "Look at me letting you stand here and talk, go in quickly."

At this time, Shui Linglong also realized that Xue's family had a visitor, and she was afraid that it was a coincidence, so she asked, "Auntie, why don't I come back another day?"

Mrs. Xue shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. Come in and sit down!"

Shui Linglong just nodded and shifted her gaze to the women beside Xue Baoqin, she was really surprised, she didn't expect to meet so many beauties at once, she nodded and smiled at Yingchun and the others.

Yingchun and the others also smiled.

Shui Linglong followed Mrs. Xue's steps and walked in side by side with Lin Daiyu.

The house of Xue's family is really magnificent, just the front entrance shows a sense of nobility, the five big characters "Zhennan General's Mansion" are written on the plaque, there are two big stone lions at the door, and two stone drums, One could tell at a glance that it was the residence of a military general, and no one would have thought that this was also the residence of the No. [-] scholar.

Enter the gate, pass through the corridor, and then enter the main hall of the inner courtyard.This looked not far away, and it took almost half a stick of incense time.Flowers and plants and other scenery come into my eyes. Although it is not grand, I worry about the feeling of a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, which has a special taste.

Lin Daiyu looked at Shui Linglong and asked, "Sister, do you know your righteous brother Xue Qiu?"

As soon as Shui Linglong heard it, she understood that the woman in front of her was Lin Ruhai's daughter. Most of the officials in the capital knew that Xue Qiu had recognized Lin Ruhai as her adoptive father.Shui Linglong nodded and smiled, "Of course! My name is Shui Linglong, what's your name?"

Lin Daiyu replied, "Daiyu, Lin Daiyu."

Shui Linglong couldn't help saying: "Daiyu, it's really Qingdai Ruyu! She really lives up to her name."

Lin Daiyu smiled, "Sister too! The word Linglong is really worthy of my sister."

Mrs. Xue looked back at the two talking and laughing, and couldn't help thinking that if they knew that the other party liked Qiu'er, would they still be able to talk and laugh like this?

Xue Baoqin has met Shui Linglong before, and probably knows what Shui Linglong thinks about her brother. Looking at Shui Linglong, she can't help but think in her heart that it would be great if she could be her sister-in-law. Everything has ended, and it is very good result.

But that's only if.

Xue Baoqin briefly introduced Xue Baochai and others and Shui Linglong to each other. Everyone was very happy to get to know each other. After all, it is very difficult to meet a few friends in the boudoir now.

Mrs. Xue ordered her servants to prepare meals quickly, and she took Shui Linglong and others to the North Garden Garden to admire the chrysanthemums. These chrysanthemums were left by the Jiang family in front. Mrs. Xue liked them very much, so she asked the servants to take care of them , Don't let it go to waste.

At this time, many chrysanthemums have bloomed, and they are very bright. The red chrysanthemum is like fire, the yellow is like the golden dragon claw, the white chrysanthemum is like snow, and the purple is elegant. The owner must be someone who loves chrysanthemums.

Looking at the chrysanthemums in front of them, Mrs. Xue and Wang Xue sipped tea and ate chrysanthemum cakes.But Lin Daiyu and others, as well as some maids, came closer to look carefully, pointing at this one, then pointing at the other, talking about which one is the prettiest.

Shui Linglong doesn't like things like chrysanthemum appreciation very much, but she has to give in, and accompanies Xue Baoqin and others to appreciate chrysanthemums.

Shui Linglong walked up to Xue Baoqin, tugged Xue Baoqin's sleeve lightly, and asked, "Miss Qin, why does your brother suddenly want to leave Beijing?"

Xue Baoqin was taken aback, she didn't expect Shui Linglong to ask directly like this.

Shui Linglong also knew that she was too unreserved, but she asked Xue Qiu those words in person at the beginning, so why would she care about these vulgar etiquette now, her eyes were clear, and she accepted Xue Baoqin's astonished gaze frankly.

Lin Daiyu was standing beside Xue Baoqin and heard Shui Linglong's words.This is also because Shui Linglong never thought that Lin Daiyu was the person Xue Qiu liked, and regarded her as Xue Qiu's younger sister, nor did she think that Xue Qiu left Beijing because of Lin Daiyu.Lin Daiyu was also taken aback, why did Sister Shui ask this question?

Xue Baoqin glanced at Lin Daiyu, not knowing how to answer Shui Linglong's question, she stopped for a moment.

Shui Linglong looked at Xue Baoqin's embarrassment, and asked, "What's wrong? Can't you tell me?"

Xue Baoqin sighed, nodded, and said, "I really can't tell Sister Shui about this."

Lin Daiyu also knew that it was difficult to talk about this question to Shui Linglong, an outsider, and at the same time, she also wanted to know the relationship between Shui Linglong and Xue Qiu, so she couldn't help but asked in doubt: "Sister Shui, why are you asking this?"

Shui Linglong lowered her head and smiled, looking at the chrysanthemum in front of her, with a calm expression, she said softly: "You know what? I told him last time that I like him, but he said he already has someone he likes."
