Dream of Red Mansions: Hydrating Crimson Pearl

Seeing that it was a handwritten letter from her own sister Xue Shi, she hurriedly opened it and read it. After reading the letter, hope rose in her heart again.

No.40 Xue Baochai first entered the Rongguo Mansion in the sixth chapter

The morning light is clear, and Xiaolu is dignified.Two magnificent carriages were driving slowly on the country road.There was a tall horse in front of the carriage, and immediately sat a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, covered in silk and satin, looking at his face, he had a look of arrogance and debauchery.It shows that he is a complete playboy.

There are two women sitting in the carriage behind, the older one is about 40 years old, dressed gracefully and richly, the younger one is only fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a hollow gauze skirt with a red satin background and a gold silk phoenix, and a water jacket inside. Red satin dress.The face is like a silver basin, the eyes are like delicate apricots, and the lips are very bright red, so she has a stunning appearance.At this moment, she was gently opening the curtain of the car, peeking out, with a ray of anxiety that could not be concealed on her face.

When the woman saw her, she smiled slightly and said, "Baochai, we must be here before noon, girls should be more dignified at home, don't be so impatient."

Baochai pursed her lips coquettishly and said: "Mother, I see what you said. Why did I come here in a hurry? Is it because I am afraid that you will be too tired after traveling all the way? I wish I could go to my aunt's place for a while so that you can take a good rest. When it comes to me, What are you afraid of? I'm young, and to tell the truth, I really don't want to see such a big family like my aunt's house, all with their own thoughts, and if one sentence is wrong, it will cause trouble .”

It turned out that this woman was Jia Baoyu's cousin Xue Baochai, and that woman was Mrs. Wang's sister Aunt Xue.

Seeing what her daughter said, Aunt Xue comforted her: "Daughter, you don't have to be afraid. Your aunt keeps her word in the mansion. Let's see who dares to say something disrespectful. Besides, my daughter is beautiful. Don't you like it? Besides, daughter, you have a clever mouth, and you can make them all happy with a few words."

Baochai nodded with a smile, she is still very confident in her appearance and ability to deal with people, just now she just said it in response to the occasion, who in Jia's house can't win for herself?Let's see when the time comes, she will definitely make waves in Jia's mansion.

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter's confident face, and felt very comforted in her heart. In fact, she came to Jia's mansion to seek refuge with her sister this time because she had no choice. After she died the year before last, her brothers, sisters-in-law and mother all excluded her mother and son. In the past two years, she worked hard to maintain the ownership of half of the family property, but her son Xue Pan was so unprogressive. He is 16 years old this year. Ordinarily, it's time to learn how to do business seriously, but she still idles around all day long, which makes her a woman who always has to show her face to manage business, which is really exhausting.

My daughter Baochai is very capable, but she is a girl after all, how can she be allowed to show her face before she leaves the court, and how can she make a good family in the future?This time I came to my sister's place for two purposes. One is to use my sister's place as a backer, to let my sister take care of the business, and to keep the property in my hand firmly.The second is that since Baochai is about to reach her age, she must find a suitable husband this time.In fact, when it comes to marriage proposals, Baochai’s beauty has long been known far and wide at home, and there are already many people who come to propose marriages, but considering that a rich family is far from the selection criteria, the honor of the family is the first choice.Moreover, this child Baochai is also quite thoughtful, she had previously quietly euphemistically talked about her life-long events with herself, and it was rare for her to think of something with herself, it seems that she can only rely on her daughter for the rest of her life.

"Mother, you are about to enter the city gate!" Baochai's tone could not conceal the excitement.

Aunt Xue opened the curtain in front of the car and said to Xue Pan who was on the horse: "Pan'er, I am going to the city, and I think I will arrive at your aunt's house in a while, so you have to take care of me when you get there. To cause trouble, this is the foot of the Imperial City of Kyoto, which is not comparable to our own home."

Xue Pan said disapprovingly: "Mother, don't worry, the child has his own measure!"

Aunt Xue said: "Every time you make a promise like this, it won't be you when you turn back. I can warn you, if you continue to act mischievously at the foot of the imperial city, no one can save you!"

Xue Pan said impatiently: "Oh, I'll just write it down, mother, when did you become so verbose! Isn't it just the matter of beating someone to death for that girl a few months ago? Why are you always talking about it?" Come on, is it possible that you are afraid that people will not know about it?"

Aunt Xue said angrily: "You unfilial son, if you don't use this incident to warn you, you don't know what disaster you will do? How much did the life lawsuit cost our family? For this matter, your uncle Still very unhappy, if your aunt hadn't intervened and let your cousin Wang Xifeng take care of it, you would still be in prison right now!"

Baochai also said angrily: "Mother's words are reasonable, brother, can't you just listen quietly? Nothing will always cause trouble. It's just that I'm afraid that my mother won't enjoy the blessings with you these years. You are old and young, and you can You should have a plan for your own future, always like this, you will be the one who suffers in the end, can my mother and I still be with you for the rest of our lives?"

After what his sister said, Xue Pan was speechless, because Xue Pan had subdued his sister since he was a child. He hurt others and vented his anger for him, so he never refuted what Baochai said.

Seeing that Xue Pan stopped talking, Aunt Xue sighed softly, and let go of the car curtain.Baochai then comforted her mother and said, "Mother, don't worry too much. After all, my brother is young, so I don't care about anything. I can arrange a good marriage for him and find a capable sister-in-law to control him. It will be much better."

Aunt Xue said, "That's right, I'm thinking about it too! This time, I'll have to ask your aunt to help you sort it out."

Baochai suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mother, have you prepared all the presents when you come to Jia's mansion this time?"

Aunt Xue said: "It's been prepared a long time ago, daughter, didn't you remind me when you were at home?"

"It's very necessary to use those things to pave the way for our mother and daughter when we are newcomers," Baochai said meaningfully.

After a while, the carriage had already arrived at the main gate of Jia's mansion, and the servant went to report, and the young man at the gate led the way to the corner gate on the west side, and when he reached the gate, two old mothers came out Said: Congratulations to my aunt and Miss Bao!

Aunt Xue and Baochai got out of the carriage with their support, and Yinger and Xiangling who were in the carriage behind also got out of the carriage, and followed Aunt Xue and Baochai to Jiamu's room.

Passing through several winding and elegantly arranged corridors, we came to Jiamu's courtyard.A girl with sculpted eyebrows came forward and said: "My aunt has worked hard all the way, the old lady is already waiting for you in the house!"

Aunt Xue smiled at the girl and asked, "Dare to ask who the girl is?"

"I am the girl in front of the old lady, named Yuanyang."

Baochai hurriedly stepped forward and smiled apologetically, "So it's Sister Yuanyang, you can tell she's capable at first glance!"

Yuanyang didn't expect that the young lady who had just arrived would compliment her as soon as she came up, so she could only laugh and say, "This is Miss Bao, right? You're praising me in vain! How can I be so capable?"

After speaking, he led Aunt Xue, Baochai, into the inner room, and met Jia Mu for a while. Aunt Xue showed a large box of gifts she had prepared. , So he ordered Yuanyang to arrange to carry it down.

After a while, the Yingchun sisters all came to see each other one by one, but they didn't see Mrs. Wang and Baoyu coming. Aunt Xue couldn't help feeling suspicious, but she couldn't help asking.Just as he was wondering, a fairy-like woman walked in.Aunt Xue was stunned for a while, but Baochai's heart sank after watching it.The author's words: The abuse of hairpins is about to begin, the intensity depends on your collection and votes, and there are also dear friends who are too stingy to leave a message, give Qingzhu more motivation!Qingzhu really wants to know how you feel after reading this article, otherwise it will be really depressing!please!please!

No.40 Seven times water-soluble cold is attentive to Baochai

When Baochai saw that Daiyu's appearance was like a fish falling like a wild goose, and her temperament was better than that of a princess or princess, Baochai felt an inexplicable jealousy rising in her heart.So he pretended to praise Jia Mu: "Old lady, if Baochai's guess is correct, this is the old lady's granddaughter, Lin Daiyu!"

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Exactly, this Daiyu came to the mansion in the first half of the year. All the elders and sisters in the whole mansion like her very much. It's just right that you came, and she has another good sister! Daiyu, Come to see Aunt Xue and your sister Baochai."

Daiyu is kind-hearted, and has never been too defensive. She has heard from the maids that the younger sister of the second aunt came to live in the mansion with a pair of children, so she also hurried towards Jiamu. Come.After being introduced by Mother Jia, she came forward enthusiastically, bent over Wanfu, and said, "Aunt Xue, Daiyu is so polite!

Aunt Xue quickly helped Daiyu up and said, "This child looks really good. In my opinion, even the fairies on that day can't compare to her! People often say that Baochai of our family is stunning. Today's comparison, to It's a little bit worse!"

Daiyu hastily apologized and said, "Auntie has won the prize." As she spoke, she walked up to Baochai, looked at Baochai's appearance carefully, and said, "Sister is really the one who looks like a fairy!"

Baochai hurriedly took Daiyu's hand and said, "Oh, sister, I can
