Love the Red House

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In addition, in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Xue Baochai finally couldn't sit still because of Daiyu's cold words. She got up and took Yinger with her.

After entering the boudoir, Baochai sat down straight, still very angry in her heart, stomped her feet and said, "I didn't expect that Lin Daiyu was so indifferent. She also had a fight with me at the beginning, and then I gave her a bird's nest and told her again. With just a few words, I subdued her lightly and deftly, and made her obey me, which is really pleasing. Who knows that she seems to be bewitched recently, and no matter what good words she says, she can't make her feel soft, really. When people grow up, they have more eyes, and they know how to guard against others."

She flicked her sleeve vigorously, changed her old dignified demeanor, her face was covered with autumn frost, and her voice also had the meaning of gnashing her teeth: "Looking at her appearance today, she has made up her mind to alienate me. I've done so many things, but it's wasted! That's all, but today I've been neglected by her, how can I swallow this breath?"

Seeing Xue Baochai so annoyed, Ying'er didn't expect it, she trembled a little, feeling terrified and at a loss for what to do.

She knew in her heart that her daughter had always been proud of her beauty and talent, she had never looked down on other women, but unexpectedly after entering Beijing, the Lin Daiyu she saw was superior to her own daughter in terms of looks and talent.

In addition, in Lin Daiyu, there is a natural nobility and elegance, like a lotus out of water, which is always revealed inadvertently, and never needs to be deliberately figured out.

This kind of temperament is innate, and it is difficult for others to achieve, even if it is my own girl.

Therefore, for Daiyu, who is more magnificent than herself, although her daughter maintains a dignified and generous appearance, in her heart, she is jealous and hates.

If so, these two people have always been at odds with each other, even if there were moments of talking and laughing with each other, it was just a flash in the pan.

Frowning her eyebrows and bowing her head, Ying'er considered for a long time before Fang said cautiously: "Miss, don't be too angry. Judging by Miss Lin's attitude, it seems that she is not very close to Second Master Bao, so there is nothing to worry about."

Baochai pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "What you're saying is that I was only paying attention to Baoyu just now, but I didn't realize this. Well, Lin Daiyu always acts according to her temper and will never cheat."

Speaking of this, the frown lines between the eyebrows stretched out, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "Although I don't know why that girl changed her mind, but from now on, I don't have to worry about Baoyu's side, so I can save some energy and focus on preparing for next year." It’s a good thing to be drafted.”

Seeing that she finally calmed down, Ying'er couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, smiled, and flattered: "The girl's talent and appearance are rare in the world, and she will definitely be favored by the nobles. A man above all men."

Xue Baochai was deeply convinced, a bright smile stretched out from the corner of her lips, her voice was like a dream, with deep anticipation: "It should be like this, I am so beautiful, I will not grow in vain."

After a while, he suddenly stopped smiling, stretched out his hand to caress the shining golden lock around his neck, and sighed: "Although I am very confident this time, after all, there are people beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky. If I lose the election, my whole life will be just It can land on this golden lock."

After hearing this, Ying'er raised her head, looked carefully, and saw that Xue Baochai's brows and eyes were like smoke, with a hint of sadness in her eyes, obviously not very happy.

Seeing this, Ying'er couldn't help being startled, and after thinking for a while, Fang cautiously persuaded: "Girl, don't be sad, according to the slaves, the Rongguo Mansion is in full swing, Baoyu is gentle and handsome, and has the most gentle and considerate temperament. Marriage is also a great and beautiful thing. In this way, with the girl's character, no matter what happens in the future, she must be rich and honorable."

Hearing this, Xue Baochai snorted through her nose, and said calmly: "Your knowledge is too vulgar. How can a marriage of gold and jade be regarded as a great thing? Although Jia's mansion is indeed rich and honored, if you are with Compared with the wealth of the Tian family and the splendor of the palace, it is really nothing. I was only worried about accidents, so I considered the Jia family as the last way out. If there is a better choice, who would want to hang on to the Jia family? "

After hearing these words, Yinger's eyes showed shame, she lowered her head for a long time, and Fang accompanied her with a smile: "It's still a girl who sees far and thinks deeply, unlike slaves who only stare at a small place, it's really superficial gone."

Xue Baochai's eyebrows fluttered, with a vaguely smug expression, and said calmly: "It's natural, you are just a girl, how can you compare with me?"

Putting his forehead on his hand, he gave a soft "huh" and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that although Baoyu was idle on weekdays, he was very close to the Prince of the North in secret. , I can start with Baoyu and try to meet the Prince of the North."

She is a smart person, and because she is going to participate in the draft, she has a clear understanding of the situation of the rich and powerful in the capital.She knew that although she was the daughter of an imperial merchant, according to the rules, most of the emperor's concubines were daughters from aristocratic families. With her status, it was difficult to reach her. Staring at the four princes of Dongping, Xining, Nan'an, and Beijing, as well as Prince Zhongshun.Among these people, King Beijing is the youngest, the most talented and handsome, and has a particularly respected status. He is also a relative of the current emperor. His future career will be smooth sailing and extremely prominent.

Therefore, she often thought that if she could fall into the eyes of Prince Bei, even if it was just to be a side concubine, she would be willing.

But now, hearing that the King of Beijing is actually an indifferent person, who doesn't care about his background and family status, how can she not be moved by this?

Looking at Baochai with tender eyes and full of longing, Ying'er understood it in her heart, and said with a smile: "The girl is beautiful and has a poetic talent. No matter who sees her, she will fall in love with her. Naturally, the Prince of the North will not." exception."

Just as she was talking, she suddenly heard a commotion outside the room, Baochai was startled for a moment, and when she listened carefully, it was the shrill voice of Xia Jingui, the sister-in-law married to her brother.

It turned out that the reason why Xue's family chose Xia Jingui was because they thought that this woman's family was well-off and she came from a wealthy family, so she must be excellent, but she never thought that she would be extremely tricky, she loved herself like a jewel, and Others treat her like nothing and act recklessly.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Jingui felt very unhappy when he saw Xiang Ling, a concubine with both talent and appearance, in the room. With the help of his personal maid, Bao Chan, he used tricks to drive Xiang Ling out.

That's all, but these days, when something goes wrong, Xia Jingui will disregard his dignity, make loud noises, point fingers and scold Huai, making the house run wild and restless.

Because of these troubles, Xue Pan was often not at home, just stayed outside, wandering around the streets and alleys, spending time and drinking with his friends, and came back drunk at night, and his attitude towards Xia Jingui was not as good as before, which made Xia Jingui even more dissatisfied. Temperament is also more aggressive and savage, yelling all day long, not letting people have a moment of leisure.

At this time, I heard Xia Jingui yelling carelessly: "When I was a girl at home, my mother was always obedient to me and answered every request. I don't know who saw that our Osmanthus osmanthus Xia family has a wealth of thousands of dollars. They are eager and greedy. I insist on marrying here. When the person came, the housekeeper girl was taken over, and she even indulged my little wife to bully me. I really don’t know what kind of family I married. That’s all, but Mr. Xue from your family is actually a worthless person. It’s really unbearable to know how to hang around outside, spend time and drink, and come back and speak badly to me.”

Hearing these unsavory words, Xue Baochai frowned, disgusted in his heart, and just when he was about to ignore them, he heard his mother's voice arguing: "Daughter-in-law, your words are too much. Back then, our two families When discussing marriage, your Xia family was clearly willing, so how can you say that we are shameless? Besides, after you came here, Xiangling was kicked out by you long ago. If the housekeeper girl, if you didn't instigate, how could Pan'er do it? Want her? As for Pan'er, he is a big man, how can he stay at home all day? Besides, it's only going out for a while, it's not a big deal, why are you so angry?"

Hearing this, no matter how reluctant Baochai was, she had no choice but to hold Yinger's hand and go to the main room to have a look.

When I got there, before Baochai could say a word, Xia Jingui was already furious. She pointed at Aunt Xue's face and said angrily, "No matter what you say, I can't live on. I said I was going to marry someone A prominent imperial merchant, who would have thought that when I came over to take a look, there was only an empty shell, but the rest of the shelf was not broken. This marriage was originally your Xue family's admiration for me, but you still treat me like this, and never let me It’s a shame to enjoy a day of happiness!”

Hearing that Xia Jingui was so unscrupulous, yelling about the situation of the Xue family, and her attitude was arrogant and domineering, Aunt Xue's face turned pale, angry and anxious, she hurriedly looked around and saw that there was no Jia family around, she was a little relieved, Then he stared at Xia Jingui bitterly, his lips trembling, but he couldn't say a word.

Xue Baochai was taken aback, and hurried forward, supported Aunt Xue generously, and persuaded: "Mom, don't be angry, you know sister-in-law's temperament, bear with it for now, and wait until sister-in-law's anger subsides, that's all. "As he said, he helped Aunt Xue to sit down, and patted Aunt Xue on the back lightly to help her relax.

Seeing this, Yinger hurried over, poured tea, and handed it to Aunt Xue, but Xia Jingui just stood where she was, with a faint smile on her face, looking at it lightly, as if she had nothing to do with herself.
