Love the Red House

Since entering the capital and living in the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai has always paid attention to everything, and has taken care of everything in a comprehensive and appropriate manner. Because Mrs. Wang values ​​her, everyone in Jia's mansion treats her differently, and her life is smooth and smooth.

Unexpectedly, when she stepped into the Northern Prince's Mansion, she was flatly rejected by Shuimei just as she thought about it. Even though Baochai was always stable, she couldn't help but suffocate. Her cheeks, like silver plates, looked good even through a thick layer of makeup. Blush.

Even so, because Shuimei is a person of noble status, she naturally does not complain in her heart, she just turns her eyes to look at Daiyu, with jealousy, resentment, and unwillingness bursting out of the corners of her eyes, which cannot be stopped.

The woman who came into view was beautiful and elegant. Even if he was very unwilling in his heart, he had to admit that the pure spirit of this woman was beyond his control. No wonder Baoyu fell in love at first sight. Let Shuimei value it so much.

It's just that she is still not reconciled in her heart. She is so cautious and hardworking, but she is not recognized by the powerful people, while Daiyu has done nothing, and she is easily treated differently by others. The two compare , how can she bear it?

Although the Xue family is an imperial merchant, in this era of scholars, farmers, businessmen, the status of a merchant is the lowest. Therefore, the family has always wanted her to marry a powerful family, and she is also confident, with her own character. With a gentle bearing, she will definitely be able to stand tall and become a dignified lady who is in charge of the house.

Although she had never seen Shui Rong, she had heard of his fame for a long time, and unknowingly, she had a little bit of admiration for him.

Until now, she has finally met the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but because of Daiyu's existence, all her scheming efforts have been wasted.

Daiyu was intelligent by nature, so she noticed Xue Baochai's sharp gaze, and stood still, but the corners of her lips were slightly pursed, and there was a coldness in her smile.

Baochai's heart is full of calculations, how could she not understand?This woman has the ambition of Qingyun, she is looking forward to becoming the top person all day long, because the matter has nothing to do with herself, she has never cared much about it, but now, because she cannot get Shuimei's attention, she will blame all her grievances, Pushing it all on herself was something she couldn't bear.

With a sneer, although Xue Baochai was sophisticated and dignified, she didn't seem to understand that in fact, it's better to be more innocent when interacting with others. If it is mixed with calculations and scheming, then you will never get the slightest bit of true love.

Changing one's heart to one's heart is an eternal truth, not to mention, this Shuimei in front of her has been immersed in a place of power for more than ten years. She has a keen intelligence and can see through her wits at a glance. How could she be confused by her? Become her stepping stone on the road to Qingyun?

I thought so in my heart, but Daiyu has always been pure and kind. After all, she still cared about the sisterhood. She sneered a few times, then turned to look at Shuimei, and said gently: "The princess values ​​Minnv, and Minnv is very grateful, but, Our sisters have been here for so long, and we haven't visited the concubine, it seems a little rude."

Shuimei blinked her eyes, and naturally understood that Daiyu changed the subject in order to get rid of the situation, and couldn't help liking this beautiful and kind girl more in her heart, so she said with a smile: "It turns out that Meier was too happy to see Sister Lin for a while. The girl came to interrupt again and again, but after talking about such insignificant things for a long time, she forgot the rest."

Hearing that Shuimei called Daiyu as "sister", but she only called her a girl, seeing her closeness and closeness, and criticizing herself in her words, Xue Baochai was angry and annoyed, but because she heard that she was going to see the princess of Beijing, A glimmer of hope could not help but be rekindled in my heart.

However, because she had heard about Daiyu's poetic talent, Shuimei had preconceived notions about Daiyu, and she valued Daiyu very much, but what kind of person is the concubine, she must prefer a stable and dignified woman.

She is confident that she will be able to behave appropriately and gracefully in front of the concubine. Yes, she will be hundreds of times better than the indifferent Daiyu.

Just as she was thinking about it, Shuimei had already taken Daiyu's hand, with a smile on her lips, she said softly: "Mother and concubine are waiting for you in the inner garden, Sister Lin, I will guide you." Yu, took the lead to go deep into the garden.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai hurriedly suppressed her expression, lifted her skirt lightly, followed the crowd, and chased after her.

While walking, seeing the exquisite and magnificent construction of the Beijing Palace, it has a more solemn atmosphere. Compared with the Grand View Garden, it is a bit grander.

If so, a heart will become more intoxicated, and the idea of ​​staying here for a long time will become stronger.

Not long after, I went to Tao Ranju, and I saw a beautiful lady in fine clothes sitting in the pavilion, surrounded by maids, looking extraordinarily graceful and dignified.

Seeing them coming, the lady got up with a smile, looked her in the eyes, and nodded her head as a signal, because she said: "Just now I heard that the sedan chair of Jia's mansion arrived, and Mei Er immediately ran out, saying that she wanted to greet her personally, but now she has brought them A group of fairies descended from the earth came over."

Shuimei smiled like a flower, and said: "I said the same thing just now, the girls of Jia's family are all different after all."

After listening to the conversation, Baochai, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xichun bowed their heads slightly, humbly, and then stepped forward to pay their respects.

According to her age, Xue Baochai was in the front, and the people present saw her walking slowly, with a pleasant smile on her pretty face, and when she walked in front of the concubine, she lightly held back her cloud sleeves and saluted: " Xue Baochai, the daughter of the Imperial Merchant, pays her respects to the Empress Dowager."

Seeing that Xue Baochai was plump and mellow, with a delicate and beautiful complexion, and extremely dignified, Princess Beijing really liked it very much. She raised her hand and said, "Miss Xue, please come up, there is no need to be polite."

Xue Baochai is an agile person, good at observing words and expressions, so she can see the appreciation for herself from the look of the concubine, and she can't help but feel a little proud.

Just when she was overjoyed, Mei said softly "Oh", and said in a doubtful tone: "Xue Baochai? The post I posted invited all the girls from Jia's mansion and sister Lin. Why did there suddenly appear more people?" A girl surnamed Xue? Well, the ones who came here today are all ladies from aristocratic families, but now there is a daughter of an imperial merchant, so Meier really doesn't know what to say."

Hearing this, Xue Baochai's face could not help overflowing with embarrassment, lowered his eyes, and said: "Minnv is a relative of Jia's family, and she lives in Rongguo Mansion, because I heard that the Northern Prince's Mansion will celebrate the princess's birthday. Because I admire the princess's Fang Yi, I followed the sisters here to visit, and I ask the princess to forgive me for being presumptuous."

Because as soon as they met, Xue Baochai flattered her wholeheartedly, which made Shuimei very disgusted, and now that she heard that she came uninvited, Shuimei refused to give up easily, because of a sneer, she said calmly: "Ms. The words are very flattering, but Mei'er doesn't understand, Mei'er is a kind of female class, often in the boudoir, where is there any beauty? Even if there is, it will not be spread outside."

Speaking of this, he walked to Xue Baochai on the lotus, looked at Baochai intently, an innocent smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and then said: "It must be that Miss Xue had some thoughts on her own, so she borrowed it. Meier’s name, come to our Northern Palace, I wonder if what Meier said is right?”

Xue Baochai thought that she could just cover it up, but she didn't expect Shuimei to say these words, so she couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "The princess is joking, the princess is here. It's really just to celebrate the princess's birthday, there is no other reason other than that."

Hearing this, Shui Mei was silent for a while, lightly smoothed her sleeves with her slender hands, and said lightly: "Forget it, forget it, only Miss Bao knows what Miss Bao is thinking, how can Meier be able to argue clearly?"

Xue Baochai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, Shui Mei looked at her, knowing what she meant, she still sneered in her heart, her starry eyes like autumn water blinked, she just kept doing nothing, and said with frowned eyes "However, Mei'er is a little curious about Miss Xue's matter. Since Miss Xue is the daughter of an imperial merchant, she must have a very rich family, so why is she living in Rongguo Mansion now? Emotionally and rationally, this matter seems to be unreasonable." Some just can't make sense."

At that time, although Shui Mei laughed at Yan Yan, there was a trace of ridicule in the depths of her eyes, and an aggressive indifference in her voice.

Xue Baochai's face turned red and white, and there was a faint look of embarrassment. Thanks to her steady and calm nature, she did not cause chaos. Afterwards, the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion said that we are all relatives, so it is better to live together, so we can get closer, because of unavoidable circumstances, our Xue family stayed here."

This confrontation completely fell into the eyes of Princess Beijing, because she heard that Xue Baochai came uninvited, Princess Beijing was also a little worried, and her love for Xue Baochai in her heart could not help but fade.

Even so, she is a kind person after all. Seeing Xue Baochai's embarrassed face and reluctant words, she couldn't help but couldn't bear it, because she smiled and said: "Forget it, the visitor is a guest, and Mei'er can't talk nonsense, otherwise, I will let people It's a joke."

After hearing this, although Shuimei was still a little reluctant, she had no choice but to curl her lips, and that's all, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xichun stepped forward to meet the concubine one by one.

After seeing the ceremony, seeing that all the women in front of me are outstanding, only Daiyu is more beautiful, she is naturally beautiful and graceful, and the concubine can't help being very affectionate, because she let Daiyu sit beside her, and let everyone else sit down , sipping tea, chatting with each other.

Seeing such a scene, Xue Baochai naturally understood that he had not been able to get into the eyes of Princess Beijing, and the sense of loss in his heart became even greater, and he hated Daiyu even more.

Yin sighed: The ancients said, since Yu was born, how could he be born bright?When I got here, I had to replace myself with both talent and beauty, so why did I have another Lin Daiyu to steal my demeanor?

Because of Daiyu, it is so difficult for her to get a favor and a respect, how can she be convinced?

Pearls and jade are by my side, what will happen in the days to come?
