Baochai is a mermaid

Chapter 4 Sister Lin

Xue Pan was said to be stagnant in the middle of the matter, and when he turned around and saw his sister woke up, he didn't care about the people in the room watching and rushed over to hold Xue Bao'er's little hand, tears that he had held back for a long time burst out.

"Brother, I'm fine, I'm just a little thirsty." Xue Bao'er looked at the boy's childish face, and pulled the corners of her lips with difficulty.

A few years later, I am afraid that she will not be able to hold Xue Pan, a wild horse.

After drinking five cups of herbal tea and soaking in cold water twice, Xue Bao'er came to her senses and sat quietly in the wooden wheelchair to listen to her mother and brother discussing the upcoming itinerary.

"I just went to the shopkeeper of the inn to inquire. The group of people who broke in in the middle of the night yesterday were all from An Guogong's mansion. The one who robbed Bao'er and killed a thousand knives..." Xue Pan glanced at Xue Baoer and saw her face. There was no change in his expression, and he said: "That guy is the eldest son of An Guogong's mansion, the number one rich man in God's capital, Wei Chi."

"The shopkeeper said that he paid the rent when he left, and he paid three days extra, saying it was for...to appease my sister." Xue Pan gritted his teeth lightly, "This guy broke the engagement against the decree a few months ago. The daughter of Shoufu’s family almost broke her hair and became a monk, the shopkeeper advised us to leave quickly, don’t be targeted by that guy and ruin my sister’s reputation.”

"Yesterday, I sent someone to ride a fast horse to deliver the invitation to my uncle's house." Xue Pan said, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's leave quickly."

Xue Bao'er coughed twice and asked, "Have you delivered it to my aunt's house?"

Xue Pan: "Send it off."

"Can someone come to welcome you?" Xue Bao'er asked again.

Xue Pan's face sank: "No."

Mother Xue smiled wryly: "Your uncle is busy with official duties, and your aunt's family has a big business, and they are busy people. Who has the time to welcome us?"

"The letter was written very attentively, but when the person arrived, he ignored it." Xue Pan muttered in a low voice, "I haven't even seen a manager, so it's because I look down on our family."

Jia Wang Shi Xue is also known as the four major families. Unlike Jia and Wang who made their fortunes through military exploits, Shi and Xue are both scholarly and clear streams, and the historians still have titles inherited. Last stream.

It's normal to be looked down upon by those noble families.

If it is delayed for a few more years, when the Xue family is completely defeated, then in the eyes of others, I am afraid that he will be a poor relative who came to fight the autumn wind.

Xue Baoer suddenly understood that in the original book, Aunt Xue brought a pair of children to visit relatives in Jia’s mansion. Why did Mrs. Wang find out when everyone was at the door?

Even if there was only an empty shell left in Jia's mansion at that time, even if the groom was crazy and foolish, even if there was no decent wedding, it was the Xue family who had climbed the lintel of Jia's mansion.

Fortunately, she came, everything will be different.

"Your aunt is eager for us, and wrote several letters to urge us." Mother Xue pretended not to hear Xue Pan's words, and forced a smile, "Let's go to Rongguo Mansion to greet the old lady first, and then see your aunt, aunt and a few friends. Brothers and sisters. I’m afraid we’ll have to stay with us for a while.”

"It's not that our family doesn't have a house, so why bother to live with relatives." Xue Pan's little emotions have obviously not passed, "I want to live with you alone, and I will take Bao'er back to my house."

"You don't want to live at your uncle's house, and I don't know your little plan?" Mother Xue said, "You are afraid that someone will arrest you and prevent you from going out for a stroll."

After the matter of the Feng family, Mother Xue was afraid that Xue Pan would go out to mess around again.

"My aunt is full of sour words and reasoning like my second uncle, I'm tired of listening." Xue Pan scratched his head.

Mother Xue wanted to persuade him, but Xue Baoer said: "Mom, my illness is really painful, so I don't want to disturb you at my aunt's house. If my aunt stays with you, you can stay here. I will accompany my brother to clean the yard of our house first. placement."

"With me in such a big trouble, my brother has no time to run outside."

The dandies in Jia's mansion are probably a hundred times worse than those outside.

"What nonsense, it's just a minor illness, why is it troublesome? Did you forget that someone called to snatch my sister from me in the middle of the night last night?"

Having said that, Xue Pan spat hard, and then changed the subject: "Don't worry, my sister, there are many gods and doctors, what diseases can't be cured?"

Thinking of her own illness, Xue Bao'er was also very distressed. The moisture that appeared suddenly last night seemed to have disappeared overnight.

Mother Xue looked at her sensible and well-behaved daughter, then at her frivolous and reckless son, nodded and said to Xue Bao'er: "That's fine, I'm most relieved to have you watching over your brother."

"What about uncle's house? When are we going?" Xue Pan asked.

Mother Xue hesitated for a moment: "I'll go and have a sit with your aunt in the future."

Why did you go there with your aunt?

Xue Baoer blinked, probably Wang's eyes were taller than Jia's.

After the mother and son discussed it well, they went to Rongguo Mansion first when they entered the city.

The carriages were passing by, seeing Ningrong Street in front of them, suddenly someone behind the carriage asked with a smile, "Is the carriage of Xue's family in Jinling ahead?"

When Xue Baoer heard the question, she quietly opened a gap in the curtain of the car and looked out, and saw a young man with a thin body and a white jade face riding past the car, and when he approached Xue Pan, he quickly reined in and said, "It's really Xue's cousin, Why don’t you even know me? I only met a few years ago when I went to Jinling on business.”

Xue Pan thought of something in a trance, and hurriedly greeted the man with a smiling face.

"Second Brother Lian just came back from an errand?" Xue Pan looked back as he spoke, and saw several carriages following the Xue family motorcade, which seemed to belong to the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian waved his hand: "It's not on business. I was ordered by the old lady to go to Yangzhou to pick up the cousin of Lin's family. I won't be back until today."

Xue Pan thought for a long time before realizing who the cousin of the Lin family was, and asked his aunt well as usual, but Jia Lian sighed: "My aunt is gone, and she will be gone in spring, otherwise the old lady wouldn't let me go in a hurry Pick up the cousin of the Lin family."

At this time, a woman's cry came from the carriage: "Poor thing."

Jia Lian was startled, and quickly looked at Xue Pan, Xue Pan nodded, Jia Lian quickly got off the horse and came to the car to salute: "Greetings to Auntie."

Mother Xue responded, and said again: "My aunt is gone, how is my aunt, how is my cousin?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's all good."

After finishing speaking, let the carriage be driven over, Xue Baoer opened the curtain to look over there, just as Lin Daiyu also opened the curtain to look over, the two little girls looked at each other for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

It was Lin Daiyu who put down the curtain first, while Xue Baoer yelled, "Brother, I want to ride in a carriage with this sister."

Xue's mother pressed Xue Bao'er and frowned: "On the street, how can I work for Miss Lin to change cars? I'll see you at your uncle's house in a while."

Xue Bao'er knew that Daiyu must be trembling right now, so instead of letting her sit in the carriage thinking wildly, it's better to sit here and have fun with each other.

Xue Pan loves his younger sister the most, and looks at Jia Lian with his eyes.

Although the Xue family is not as prestigious as it used to be, the family is still there. Jia Lian can't refute the face of the Xue family because of the money. Besides, Daiyu has a bitter face all the way because of the loss of her mother, and she is afraid that the old lady will see her when she returns home. sad.

It was rare to see Lin Daiyu smile, and Jia Lian hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay, children don't care so much."

Let the servant woman carry Lin Daiyu to Xue's carriage, seeing her timidly walk in and salute to herself, Xue's mother's heart almost melted, she hurriedly asked Xue Baoer to be carried to the opposite seat, she waved to Daiyu: "Come, my dear boy, sit by my aunt."

Lin Daiyu obediently sat down next to Xue's mother, looked up and saw a pair of mother-like loving eyes, red eye circles immediately, the long-term suppressed emotions broke the defense instantly, tears were like pearls with broken strings.

Mother Xue's nose was sore, she held Lin Daiyu in her arms, and comforted her softly while wiping her tears.

After the death of the mother, the father was busy with government affairs and was often away from home. The hearts of the two aunts were all on the father. It had been a long time since no one hugged her like this.

During the tiring journey, she resisted the discomfort in her body and the reluctance to leave her father. She didn't dare to be sad, let alone cry, for fear of causing trouble to her cousin, and fear of being looked down upon and saying that she was not stable enough. rule.

I only dare to hide under the quilt and cry secretly for a while in the dead of night, sometimes for a while, sometimes for a whole night.

This strange woman who called herself aunt was very warm in her arms, her body was scented with a touch of sandalwood, and her voice was gentle and soft. Holding her felt like a mother.

Lin Daiyu cried for a while and felt much better. Then she looked up and saw three girls who were slightly older than her, all looking at her with round eyes.

One of them said in astonishment: "My Lady, there are girls who are more beautiful than our girls in this world, they are really like angels."

Another little girl with a mole between her eyebrows nudged her lightly with her elbow.

Lin Daiyu hurriedly raised her head to see Xue's mother's expression, and found that she was still smiling, so she let go of her heart.

Xue Baoer smiled at her: "Sister, don't blame me, our family has always been like this, there are not so many rules."

At first, Lin Daiyu frowned, thinking that this girl was too outspoken, and she felt that it was not bad to hear such an explanation. Everyone said what they had to say, and they didn't have to bother to guess the meaning behind the strings. It was very comfortable.

Thinking like this in my heart, the string in my head that has been stretched for a long time can't be relaxed, my back is straight and stiff, and my smile is forced, which is incompatible with the relaxed and peaceful atmosphere around me.

"Who is talking nonsense over there?" A male voice suddenly sounded from outside the car curtain, "Xue Jiabao is the most beautiful in the world, even a fairy can't compare."

These words startled Lin Daiyu again, she saw the maid who spoke first stick out her tongue mischievously.

"How do you know?" Xue Baoer asked with a smile.

The man outside boasted: "Because she looks like me!"

"..."

There was a moment of silence in the carriage, and then everyone burst out laughing, and Daiyu couldn't hold back her laughter.

The carriage quickly drove into the West Corner Gate of Rongguo Mansion. Xue Pan followed Jia Lian to the study in the front yard to meet his uncle Jia Zheng. Xue's mother and others got out of the car to change the sedan chair. After hugging her, her eyes flickered, but she held back what she wanted to ask.

The sedan chair stopped in front of the hanging flower door, and Lin Daiyu was helped out of the sedan chair. A maid from Xue's family had long since pushed a wooden wheelchair, and then she walked into the sedan chair and carried Xue Bao'er horizontally on the wheelchair. The Jia family came to welcome her The daughter-in-law pushed and walked inside.

Walking to the front of the main room, I saw pearls and emeralds competing for glory. Mrs. Wang came over to welcome Xue's mother first. The sisters met each other for a long time. The girls are here."

People like to be lively when they are old. When Jia Mu heard it, she was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Please come in quickly!"

The door curtain was opened, and everyone entered the room to salute Jia Mu, and then saluted and greeted each other according to their seniority. The scene was very lively.

Mother Jia was a little sad when she saw Lin Daiyu thinking about her daughter who died young, but it was not easy to cry with her granddaughter in her arms when Aunt Xue was there, so she just chatted with Mrs. Wang and Mother Xue.

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baoer were sitting together. Seeing Mother Jia was inevitably sad, but she obviously paid more attention to Xue Baoer's legs, and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Seeing her curiosity, Xue Baoer explained in a low voice: "I had a strange illness last year, and I have been unable to walk since then."

Lin Daiyu opened her eyes wide. She didn't expect Xue Baoer to be able to talk and laugh happily after encountering such bad luck, and this weakness in her body seemed nothing compared to her.

"Then you came to God to seek medical treatment?" Lin Daiyu asked.

Xue Bao'er shook her head: "My father passed away the year before last, and my uncle and aunt invited us to come and relax."

Her father is gone, her mother is gone, she can't move her legs, and she has a weak body. Today, they came to Rongguo Mansion to visit relatives together, which is very fateful.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu looked at Xue Baoer with pity, feeling that she was more unfortunate than herself, but envied her optimism and open-mindedness.

Tears swirled in her eyes, but she finally endured them back, and Xue Baoer's ethereal voice sounded in her ears: "I heard that the palace is choosing Zanshan as an escort for the princess and princess, and the family has signed up for me. Do you want to?" to try?"
