Love the Red House

When she got up the next day, Daiyu was doing her makeup in her room, when Chunxian came in and said, "My servant just got the news that the second girl is back and is paying her respects in the old lady's room. , go and have a look."

Daiyu was stunned for a while, then put down the comb in her hand, nodded and said, "I see, you can go down and do your work."

Chunxian retreated in response, Daiyu raised her crescent eyebrows lightly, and sighed: "Second sister is finally back, I don't know what happened to her at Sun's house."

Xueyan on the side heard the words, quickly moved her lips to sound, and said softly: "Young lady, don't worry, after talking with the young lady that day, the second young lady has already awakened, thinking about it, she must be very good now."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, although her brows and eyes were still calm and indifferent, but there was also a hint of eager anticipation, and she said softly: "I hope so."

After saying that, he looked in the mirror, put on a pair of pearl drop earrings, and seeing that the makeup was neat, he immediately closed the dressing box, got up, took the snow geese, and walked to Jiamu's residence.

When I got there, I saw that Yingchun had returned to the province, and Tanchun and Xichun were accompanying each other in the room. It was Xue Baochai, also dressed up, talking and laughing in front of Jia Mu.

Daiyu looked carefully, and saw that Yingchun had exquisite eyebrows and eyes, neat makeup, and was very beautifully dressed, with black hair all over her hair, all combed up, tied with eight treasures and jadeite jade hairpins, and a golden step with a phoenix holding beads , The brilliance is overflowing, and you can tell at a glance that it is not extraordinary.

When speaking in action, the tassels dangling from the golden steps on the sideburns swayed slowly in the ears, adding a different style and maturity compared to when I was a girl at home that day.

Thin rouge, slightly crimson lips, wearing a water-red brocade smoked shirt on the upper body, with a golden thread carrying a pattern of butterflies and flowers, like a willow waist with goose-yellow palace sash, and purple python satin underneath. The pleated skirts are all newly made clothing and fit very well.

Compared with the last time she came back, Yingchun's attire was much more gorgeous, but the most distinct thing was her expression and demeanor.

Between her brows and eyes, not only are they no longer gloomy, but there is also a serene and gentle light, which is so moving, and there is a soft smile on the corner of her mouth, revealing a bit of leisurely looking at the world, a bit of the clearness of the wind passing through the clouds, and A little bit of determination to face setbacks.

Seeing Yingchun like this, Daiyu couldn't help but feel relieved, deep joy arose in her heart, but her face was still indifferent, she only smiled slightly, and said to Yingchun: "Second sister, you are back."

Yingchun turned around and saw that it was Daiyu, she immediately stood up and said with a smile on her face: "Sister Lin is here, these days, I have been thinking about you very much."

With a smile on her lips, Daiyu nodded and said, "I miss my sister very much." After saying that, she saluted Mother Jia and sat down beside Yingchun.

The two were about to talk, but a little maid said from outside: "Second Master Bao and Second Wife are here." As she spoke, she opened the curtain.

Daiyu turned her head to look, and sure enough, she saw Baoyu, dressed in fine clothes, respectfully accompanying Mrs. Wang, walking in one after the other. Seeing this, Daiyu also got up to meet everyone, with a slight smile on her lips, polite but indifferent. .

At this time, Baoyu took a look and saw the new Yingchun. He couldn't help being very excited, and said earnestly: "Second sister, you are finally back. These days, I always miss you and worry that you will suffer and be wronged again in the Sun's house. Lin The same goes for my younger sister, who often talks about you in front of me and never forgets."

Having said that, he hurriedly went up to hold Yingchun's hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Now that I see my second sister, I finally feel relieved. Come to think of it, the brother-in-law of the Sun family has already seen how good my sister is, and has begun to treat her kindly."

Hearing Baoyu talking to herself, telling the truth about Yingchun's grievances in the Sun's family, so unrestrained, Mrs. Wang's expression changed, her face turned red and white, but she didn't know what to say to explain it.

Daiyu was also a little surprised, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there was a smoky frown, but she quickly calmed down, looked back at Jia Mu, and paid attention to her expression and demeanor.

The last encounter in the province in the Spring Festival allowed Daiyu to see clearly Baoyu's personality and see through the warmth and coldness of Jia's family, and even gained a clearer understanding of her own life.

Previously, the second aunt had ordered that the news of Yingchun's marriage and abuse should not be heard by Jiamu, so Daiyu never knew whether Jiamu knew about this matter.

For the Jia family, Daiyu already felt disheartened, and the only reason for her to stay was her reluctance and yearning for her grandmother.

However, after going through so many ups and downs, she is no longer as ignorant as before, and she already has a different view of the world.

Both of her parents passed away, and the Lin family was scattered. In this world, everyone in the Jia family was indeed the only relative who was related to her by blood.

However, she comes from a noble family in Gusu. Although her face is as delicate as a flower and she is a girl like water, she is proud and has her own principles for doing things.

She cherishes this precious family affection very much, but she is not an ignorant person. In her knowledge, only those who are sincere and kind to themselves are worthy of their wholehearted repayment.

If this family relationship is just a false appearance, then she would rather give it up completely and don't want anything.

That's why, at this very moment, she looked at Jia's mother intently, wanting to know whether this grandmother who kept saying that girls were treasures really meant what she meant?Is it possible that you already know everything, but you don't care about the matter of welcoming the spring, just immersing yourself in your own world and enjoying the happiness of both wealth and honor?

Under her gaze as clear as autumn water, Jia Mu paused for a moment, and a look of astonishment popped out of the corner of her eyes immediately. She waved to Baoyu and asked in a deep voice, "What were you talking about just now? Why, your second sister married to the Sun family and now she's married. , Have you been wronged a lot? How come no one told me about such a big thing? Don’t you think that I’m old and you don’t need to take me seriously anymore, and you can deceive me, an old woman, at will? "

After hearing these words, everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing that Yingchun was dressed very differently, Baoyu lost her mind for a moment, and then quickly yelled out what was in her heart, but she forgot the last time Yingchun returned to the province, and Jia Mu didn't know about it.

Now, hearing Jia Mu's questioning words, Baoyu's face turned pale, she was dumbfounded, terrified, and it was difficult to hide it.

Daiyu's eyebrows were relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that her grandmother didn't know about the matter of welcoming the spring in advance.

Although she felt that it was inappropriate for her grandmother to ignore foreign affairs while she was the head of the family, there was still a touch of comfort in Daiyu's heart.

Looking up, although Jia's family is indeed a bit hot and cold, it is enough to have a person who treats all the girls in the family sincerely, and a grandmother who values ​​family affection.

She was thinking so quietly, with a lot of tenderness in her heart, but the atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant and awkward, making people feel at a loss.

Amidst the silence, Xue Baochai stood up buoyantly, and said with a smile like pearls: "Don't be angry, old lady, look at the way Younger Sister Yingchun is dressed, doesn't she look like she has been wronged?"

After hearing this, Mother Jia couldn't help being startled, looked back at Yingchun, pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "Young girl Ying is indeed very energetic, and she must be living a good life, but why did Baoyu want to Say that?"

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's expression was calm, and he said without any haste: "The old lady also knows Baoyu's temperament. ?”

Having said that, he walked up to Mother Jia, and immediately continued with an admiring tone, "As for lying to the old lady, how dare we juniors do such a thing? The old lady is the backbone of this family, auntie It is often said that once encountering a major event, you have to consult the old lady before making a decision, and I respect the old lady very much."

Xue Baochai's words were so pretentious, but after he said them, his face didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, and he really had the spirit and demeanor of not being surprised at all.

Madam Wang at the side immediately raised her eyes to look at Xue Baochai, her eyes were soft, she was grateful to her for not avoiding suspicion, and she spoke out to solve Baoyu's troubles in front of the old lady, and she was also pleased with her prudence and dignity, and her determination to achieve a golden marriage became more firm.

After hearing Xue Baochai's words, Jia Mu's expression turned pale, but she was still a little hesitant. She frowned and said, "There is some truth to what you said, but there may be some reason for it, but now I don't know whether I should listen to you or not." , or listen to Baoyu."

Xue Baochai had a calm demeanor, and her delicately made-up cheeks showed no flaws under the yingying smile. She said gently, "It's only natural for the old lady to have doubts in her heart. Let me say what Brother Bao said. You don’t need to listen, just ask the person involved, and everything will be clear.”

Having said that, she turned her eyes to Yingchun, and asked with a smile: "Sister Yingchun, the old lady cares about you so much, why don't you tell me how your life is going after you get married?"

When she asked this question with a smile, she didn't feel flustered at all, because she clearly understood that Yingchun must respect this elder very much in her heart. In front of the grandmother, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she confides her past sufferings, which makes her cry.

Sure enough, Yingchun thought about it, looked at Jiamu, and couldn't help but feel soft. She didn't reveal her true feelings, she just pursed her lips and smiled, and said with some difficulty: "Sure enough, the old lady is worrying. Drink spicy food, and the maids and servants in the house are all at my command, very carefree and majestic, even better than when I was a girl at home."

After hearing this, there was a smile line on Jia Mu's lips, she nodded again and again, and said happily: "As expected, I am relieved." Then, she glanced sideways at Baoyu, her smile diminished slightly, but her voice was still gentle: "Baoyu , from now on, you can't talk nonsense again, let me be frightened and disturbed."

Just now Baoyu was frightened and at a loss because she had slipped her mouth. Now that she heard what she said, she dared not say any more.

After the words fell, Xue Baochai had already pursed her lips lightly and smiled like a silver bell before anyone else could speak: "Brother Bao doesn't have to be like this, as long as you are more careful in the future and speak clearly, it will be fine."

Said, looked back at Jia Mu, smiled at Yan Yan, and continued: "I came here today and saw the old lady's love for Yingchun girl. It's really amazing. However, according to Baochai's humble opinion, The old lady really doesn't need to worry about these things. The Jia family was originally a famous family with an extremely prominent position in the court. Now there is a favored imperial concubine in the palace. How can the married Yingchun girl feel wronged at all?"

She smiled so sweetly, she was good at dancing with her long sleeves, and she said that the Jia family had a favorite concubine in the palace, and her ultimate intention was to flatter Mrs. Wang and win her favor.

Although Yingchun has a good temper, after hearing this, she couldn't help feeling a little nauseous, moved her lips, and was about to tell the whole story of the past, but seeing Daiyu's expression was indifferent, she shook her head slightly, so she could only smile coldly and remain silent down.

Sure enough, after hearing Xue Baochai's words, although Mrs. Wang didn't say a word, there was a faint smile in the corner of her eyes, and she was very pleased.

Seeing this, Tanchun was unwilling to be left behind, so he also smiled and said jokingly: "That's exactly what I said. I often think that we girls have the glory of the Jia family as our support and the blessings of our mother." Blessed, and there is an old lady who loves and sympathizes with me, I really don’t know what good things I did in my previous life.”

Hearing this, Jiamu turned back into anger, raised her lips and said, "You listened to what Sanya said, and praised a lot of people, even she went in and said that she had cultivated blessings in her previous life, she is really a clever ghost."

When everyone heard this, they also laughed and said together: "What the old lady said is very true."

If you speak and laugh at Yan Yan, you will be full of joy and harmony.

In this farce, Daiyu remained silent and watched coldly. Although there was a smile on her lips, she was calm and indifferent, and the sigh in her heart could not be stopped.

Although she knew for a long time that Xue Baochai was a deep-minded person, she never knew that this woman's concentration was so good.

Even if she is talking nonsense with her eyes open, she still does not change her face and is calm and unhurried. How can such an ability not amaze people?
