[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

The three mint servants, Ying'er, were talking in the corridor, and Jia Yan, Tanchun and Xue Baochai in the suite were hanging by a window through a mullion.Jia Yan also likes to be bright and airy. Even in the cold winter of March [-]th, she has to open the windows regularly for ventilation, let alone in the sunny spring day when the flowers are blooming in spring.

Because of Jia Yan's habit, the window drawer has long been erected, even the carved windows inside are open.There happened to be a big Arhat couch under the window of the suite. Jia Yan sat on the east side and asked Tanchun to sit on the west side opposite the kang table. As for Xue Baochai, she could only sit on another armchair up.

As a result, Jia Yan and Tanchun turned their backs to the outside, but Xue Baochai turned his face to the window, and could hear Mint's words clearly and clearly.

The blood faded from Xue Baochai's face in an instant, as if she had been drenched from head to toe with ice water in the cold winter of March [-]th, which made her heart cold, and it was as if she was being soaked by someone in front of the public. After stripping off her clothes, she wished there was a hole in the ground for her to crawl in.

For a moment, Xue Baochai's heart went numb.

"Sister Bao? Sister Bao?"

Xue Baochai regained his senses in a daze, saw Jia Yan looking at him in surprise, then turned his face slightly, as if he had just noticed that Mint was outside the window, then he showed a normal and polite smile and said: "Young girl is not sensible. , I know it’s okay to show off and tell the news. I also hope that Bao’s sister Haihan.”

Every expression of Jia Yan was seen and remembered by Xue Baochai.Where did she not know that every word this girl named Mint said was aimed at herself?

Because she came from a merchant family and didn't want to lose face in the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai always said in front of Tanchun and Xichun, "I am older than you, and I was carefully trained by my family to be sent to the palace. I am better than you and know better." Let me guide you" is such a high profile, and Tanchun wants to please Xue Baochai, Xichun is young, and Jia's family has a group of servants who are either afraid of the power of Mrs. Wang Xifeng or eager to please Mrs. Wang Xifeng, so these people put Xue Baochai is highly praised, not to mention comparing Tanchun and Xichun to the mud, and some even compare Xue Baochai to Jia Yan-different from the original book, Lin Daiyu here is filial piety, because Jia Baoyu Mrs. Xing and Jia Yan blocked even the visits of little sisters such as Tanchun. Therefore, eight or nine times out of ten the girls and women in the Rongguo Mansion don't know this cousin, so naturally they won't take it. Lin Daiyu was compared with Xue Baochai.

Seeing so many people say that she is similar to Jia Yan, Xue Baochai is quite proud, not to mention that she is also born with a beautiful appearance, so he took Jia Yan's idea.

Xue Baochai knew that her plan to enter the palace through selection was futile, but she also knew that Jia Yan could bring a dowry girl into the palace in the future, so she took up the idea of ​​Jia Yan's dowry girl, and when she thought about it, she would go in with Jia Yan. palace.

In her opinion, she was about the same age as Jia Yan. When Jia Yan entered the palace, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, which was about the same age as when Jia Yuanchun entered the palace. It was a good time to enter the palace.

The reason why she wore the golden lock was entirely because Mrs. Wang came to persuade her mother, Aunt Xue, that she would live in the Rongguo Mansion for a few years, so she didn't want to offend Mrs. Wang.Not to mention the girls of rich families, whoever has such things as gold collars and mail locks, and some of them have more than one, and it will be easy to clean them up when the time comes.

For more than half a month, the servants of the Jia family had praised Xue Baochai so high that Xue Baochai almost believed that except for his birth, he was no worse than Jia Yan in everything else.

But now Xue Baochai knew that Jia Yan didn't speak at all, and directly used a girl's mouth to tear up his dignity and many days of management, and threw it on the ground!

How can this be a girl who is ignorant and doesn't pay attention to etiquette!This is clearly Jia Yan using this girl's mouth to point at Xue Baochai's nose and tell everyone:

About everyone being a lady, then you, Xue Baochai, have only learned a little bit!How much do you know about serious things!

What made Xue Baochai even more ashamed was that this was still in front of Tanchun!

But these are not important, the important thing is, did the palace remember her?

This is what Xue Baochai is most afraid of.The fact that Jia's family knew about her family and that the palace remembered that Xue Baochai was the sinner's sister were two different concepts.The Jia family knew that what happened to their Xue family was nothing more than embarrassment, but if the palace remembered that Xue Baochai was the sinner's sister, then all her calculations so far would be in vain.

But does Xue Baochai dare to get angry with Jia Yan?

No, she dared not.

She even had to thank Jia Yan for just playing with her girl in her own room and not taking advantage of her in front of Jia's mother or in front of the public.

Xue Baochai was originally very smart. After hearing these words, how could she not know that Mrs. Wang took 5 taels of silver from her family but did nothing?

Thinking about it further, I couldn't sit still anymore.

What made Xue Baochai unable to sit still was the sentence "the offender is still clean according to the law".Whether it was 1 taels or 5000 taels, the perpetrators were all clean, but what about her brother Xue Pan?According to the law, he is not only a sinner, but also a dead person, just like the 5000 taels!

In other words, Mrs. Wang took 5 taels of silver from their Xue family, but she managed things even worse than 5000 taels!

How can Xue Baochai be reconciled to this?

She is just such an elder brother, and their Xue family still counts on this support to carry on the family line, but now, her elder brother has become a dead person in the law, not to mention her future has also been lost!

No wonder Xue Baochai feels better!

Xue Baochai was very upset.

She is only 11 years old now, the same age as Jia Yan, even though she was born half a year older than Jia Yan in January, she is still a little girl, so she just sat down for a while and left in a hurry, not even having dinner at Jia Yan Yan used it here.

Xue Baochai wanted to leave, and Tanchun naturally wanted to follow, but he didn't want Jia Yan to say directly: "Sister Bao has something to do at home, please go ahead. I haven't seen my third sister for many days, and I have something to say. Just leave the third sister to live here."

As he spoke, he called several women to come over, and ordered them to go to Mrs. Wang's side one by one and send Xue Baochai back.

Tanchun was ashamed and ashamed, so she had to explain in a low voice: "Second sister, I'm at my wife's place now."

It turned out that these days when Jia Yan was not at home, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang had another scene behind their backs.Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Baoyu mentioning Lin Daiyu every time she comes to her place. She thinks it's because Jia's mother did it on purpose even if Lin Daiyu is not in front of Jia Baoyu. In Jia's mother's yard, she cultivated a relationship with Jia Baoyu to dilute Lin Daiyu's influence on Jia Baoyu; One of the reasons why she wanted to let Xue Baochai live in Jia Mu's yard was that Jia Yan moved back to Jia Amnesty's house, and her house was empty, so it would be fine to give it to Xue Baochai.

I don't want this statement to annoy Jia's mother. Jia's mother said that now that she is too old to bear the children's playfulness, she directly threw Tanchun and Xichun to the West Courtyard where Mrs. Wang lives now, leaving only Jia Baoyu. One is in front of me.

There was a fight between the gods above, and Tanchun, a seven-year-old girl, suffered. Didn't she just please Mrs. Wang to make herself feel better?

When Jia Yan heard about it, he quickly ordered the woman to send Xue Baochai out. After Xue Baochai went around the screen wall and left the courtyard gate, he took Tanchun back to the house.

Knowing what happened at home recently and Tanchun's recent situation, Jia Yan could only sigh.

She said: "I know that the third sister has always been successful, even if I am a younger sister, I can't do better than you, the third sister. But there are some things I still hope that the third sister will think about it before saying something: After all, the third sister is the daughter of the second uncle. If it is spread, it will be said that the third sister, who grew up in the government's mansion, is an official lady who is not even a merchant, a murderer's sister, or even a woman who doesn't understand the law. How about, what good is this for the third sister? The third sister's future is in the hands of the second wife, but the reputation is not good, and it will be a good thing that no one comes to ask for a marriage? You know, it is very common to be like this with the Xue family Scholars don't dare to accept the teaching. Or, the third sister will not understand until she loses her qualifications to be a husband and teach a child and becomes an old maid?"

After hearing this, Tanchun turned pale.

Although Tanchun is young, the life of a concubine is not easy. She knows better than anyone else that her only way out is to marry. Only after she is married can she leave Mrs. Wang's training and escape from the Jia family. This fire pit.

This is the reason why she pleases Mrs. Wang in every possible way, and even makes Xue Baochai step on her.Because she knew that her marriage was in Mrs. Wang's hands.

Although Xue Baochai stepped on her and made Tanchun feel very unwilling, but in Tanchun's young heart, Xue Baochai, a cheap cousin, is indeed outstanding, and it is not a bad thing to be a stepping stone for such an outstanding person like her.

Tanchun never knew that Xue Pan's case would have such a big impact on Xue Baochai!If Jia Yan hadn't pointed it out, Tanchun would not have known that Xue Baochai had no market among scholars!

This completely subverted her cognition.

Tanchun also knew that Jia Yan would never tell lies about this kind of thing, so that night, lying in Jia Yan's warm pavilion, Tanchun hid under the quilt and cried all night.When she woke up the next day, her eyes were swollen like peaches. It was Jia Yan who asked someone to put boiled eggs on her eyes for a long time, so that no one could see the difference. Say hello to Mrs. Xing, and then Mrs. Xing will take the car to Jiamu's Rongqing Hall for a routine morning and evening meditation.

The author has something to say: I feel that Xue Baochai's attitude towards his brother is a bit difficult to grasp.However, from Liu Xianglian's disappearance, we can know that Xue Baochai is actually a little indifferent to his brother's feelings. It seems that as long as Xue Pan is alive, it is enough to guarantee her interests and her face.I feel that Xue Baochai's coldness is not ordinary cold.
