Love the Red House

After obtaining the letter from Concubine Yuan, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and wished to tell everyone immediately, but since it was already dusk after returning to the mansion, she had to calm down and wait for the coming day.

On the next day, when Mrs. Wang got up early in the morning, she ordered the servant girl to go to Xue's house, invited Baochai's mother and daughter to Jiamu's room, washed herself up, and then rushed to Jiamu's residence with a handbook.

When I got there, everyone had gathered, and Jia Mu was holding Baochai's hand, and said with a smile, "You have moved out these days and you seldom come here. I really miss you."

Baochai smiled dignifiedly, and when she was about to answer, seeing Mrs. Wang coming in, she hurriedly got up and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Mrs. Wang nodded her head as a signal, and went forward to salute Jia Mu. Fang smiled and said: "I heard what the old lady said just now, but I really like Baochai. If she can serve by her side for a long time, I think the old lady must be very happy." happy."

After hearing this, Jia's mother immediately noticed something unusual, but she still didn't change her face, and said with a smile: "I think so, but Miss Bao is a person who is going to be drafted, and she will naturally be able to climb into a family of wealth and honor in the future." How can a Shuangquan marriage stay with us for a long time?"

Hearing Jia's mother talk about life's important events, Baochai's face flushed, revealing a shy look, but in the back of her mind, the scene of meeting Shui Rong outside the Yihong courtyard that day emerged.

There are gangsters, like cuts are like consultations, like cuts like grinding.

In the thin mist, he stood tall, with sword-shaped eyebrows drawn into his temples, eyes like stars, so handsome, no need to deliberately modify, a noble and illustrious aura is naturally revealed, it is really heart-warming.

Both wealthy and honorable, with outstanding talent and appearance, such a man is strikingly similar to, and coincides with, his beloved in the boudoir dream.

Although when they met that day, his attitude was indifferent and alienated, but his love was secretly born, and his heart was moved, even he couldn't contain it.

I can't help but think about it, if I can become destined with him, not only will I have a noble status in the future, but I will always be pleasing to the eye, full of poetic and picturesque, and beautiful.

However, things are often not as expected.

Mountains have trees and trees have branches, and the heart is pleasing to the king, but the love of the king is already tied to others.

The love affair is scattered, but the person he likes is still Daiyu who stands opposite to him,

Such an encounter made her hate and jealous, almost unbearable, she only hoped that Daiyu would disappear from her eyes and no longer hide her brilliance, only hoped that one day, when she met Shui Rong again, He can see his own existence.

Just when my heart was full of emotions, I heard Mrs. Wang's refreshing smile, her voice was brisk, as if she had never felt joyful before: "Don't be disappointed, old lady, I went to the palace to visit my mother yesterday, and when I was chatting, I talked about Baoyu Nian It's a bit inappropriate to be an adult but have not yet settled on a marriage."

"Later, the empress said that when she was visiting relatives that year, she had met the cousin of Xue's family. She was very talented, and she was a good match for Baoyu, and there was a saying that she had a good relationship with Jinyu. good."

After saying these words, it took only a moment, but it had already stirred up waves.

Baochai's eyelids twitched, although her face was calm and composed, but her heart was already full of twists and turns, and there was a faint gleam of joy, but it was only faint, and more, it was emotion and sigh.

She and Baoyu have known each other since they were young. After getting along for so many years, they know each other's temperament and appearance.

Baoyu is the son of the Rongguo Mansion, and his status is undeniable. He is also delicate and gentle. What is rare is that when he treats girls, he is always attentive, gentle and considerate.

If she had never met other men, she would really feel that Baoyu is also a good person.

However, he happened to meet Shui Rong, and he was still such an outstanding and noble man. Compared with the two, what is Baoyu?

Although he knew that Shui Rong already had a special liking in his heart, he still had a little bit of hope in the end, hoping that one day he would be able to get out of the predicament, and that the place where they met would have a good time.

But now, such a little bit of hope has become extravagant hope. Even if the hope is broken, it is still hard to achieve in this life.

On Daiyu's side, she suddenly heard that Concubine Yuan had written an edict. Although it came suddenly, she was not surprised because she had expected it. Light and pleasant, full of color, appearing extraordinarily quiet and serene.

What should come will always come, but I have become an outsider, so I just need to stand on the sidelines without paying any attention.

However, her and Baochai's lives have already embarked on completely different paths, with their own twists and turns, and each bears the beauty or barrenness of the road of life.

But Mother Jia narrowed her pupils, stood up abruptly in astonishment, looked at Mrs. Wang with a sharp look in her eyes, and moved her lips to ask if she really wrote the handbook? "

Mrs. Wang nodded lightly. Although she noticed that Jia Mu's eyes were different, she didn't show any panic because the overall situation was settled.

As he spoke, he pulled out the bright yellow scroll that looked like life from his long sleeves, and with a contented smile, he said in a low voice: "Here is the handbook, the old lady has bad eyesight, why don't my daughter-in-law read it for me?" With a movement, it floated past everyone in the room.

The people present were all quick-witted people, they understood what was going on when they saw this, they gathered their clothes and got up together, showing a look of respectful listening.

In the silence, Mrs. Wang unfolded the scroll, and read word by word: "The phoenix is ​​flying, and its feathers are flying, and the Baochai of Zierxue's family is noble, gentle, gentle, and beautiful. The grandson of the Duke, Jia Baoyu, is his wife and is scheduled to get married on the tenth day of the first month of December."

In her ending sound, there was a trace of imperceptible elation, which fell into Xue Baochai's ears, but it seemed that a thin sharp edge scraped across her heart, and no blood flowed out, but she felt sore and uncomfortable, vaguely mixed with it. With a hint of despair.

Although he only met Shui Rong once, but that man who is like a jade tree facing the wind is so outstanding and so touching that after seeing him, he will remember him for the rest of his life, and he will never erase it from his heart.

It was fate to meet thousands of miles away, and it was love at the first sight.

But so what?

As of today, everything has been settled.

It is obvious that he is still a lofty and personable prince, and his own identity will be Baoyu's wife, the second grandmother of Baoyu in Rongguo Mansion.

The lover is already thousands of miles away, and Pengshan is [-] weights away.

In this life, there is no other possibility with him except to miss it.

From now on, the beautiful stories of a gentleman and a beautiful woman should only belong to him and Lin Daiyu, and I am just an outsider, who would feel heartache and hatred even if I watched from a distance.

All of this is like a dream, but before the dream wakes up, it is already settled in this life.

With such a tender heart, Baochai's face is still watertight, but she is still bowing down, her clear and gentle voice is as respectful as before, without any flaws: "Thank you for your kindness."

Because Daiyu is her only granddaughter, when the Jia family built the Grand View Garden, they embezzled all the property of the Lin family. Damn, it's really great that I can relax myself.

This kind of concern has been on Jia Mu's mind for many years, but unexpectedly now, she has received Yuan Concubine's will to bestow marriage. Jia Mu is naturally dissatisfied in her heart, but because the marriage was decided by Yuan Concubine, she is helpless.

With an inaudible sigh, Mother Jia reluctantly showed her face, and said slowly: "Since the empress has already made an order, this matter is settled like this."

Hearing that Aunt Xue laughed at Yan Yan, she raised her head to look at Baochai, but she saw that Baochai's face was like still water, but there was no hint of joy in her voice, and she couldn't help being a little surprised.

Just when I was puzzled, I heard Jia Mu laughing and said: "From now on, we and my aunt will be in-laws."

Aunt Xue quickly regained her expression, with a bright smile on her lips, she leaned forward and said, "It is really a blessing for our Xue family to be married to the old lady."

Mother Jia took a sip of her tea, and said with an expressionless expression, "Auntie, you are welcome."

With such a few polite words, after all, because Mrs. Wang violated her wish, Jia's mother was a little bit depressed, and she couldn't make up her mind to deal with it, so she let everyone separate.

Because of doubts in her heart, as soon as she returned to Lixiangyuan, Aunt Xue waved back the servants who came up to meet Daoxi, but ordered them to cover the door, and went into the room with Baochai to talk.

After waiting to sit down, Aunt Xue looked at Baochai and said with a gentle smile: "Because you are very good-looking and talented, you have always wanted to rise to the top and find a good son-in-law who is worthy of you. I know all about it."

"Although we have decided to get married now, we can no longer participate in the draft, but Baoyu from Jia's family is very good-looking, and he is the younger brother of Concubine Yuan, and his status is not bad. I am generally satisfied with this marriage. Yes, besides, in this way, it also saves the exhaustion of drafting girls, which is also very good."

"It's just that in the old lady's room just now, I saw that although you were prudent and self-reliant, you didn't look very good-looking, but are you not satisfied with this marriage?"

Hearing these words, Baochai was stunned for a moment, lowered her head for a long time, and then said, "Mother is your mother, my mother can see through my thoughts at a glance."

Slightly parting her red lips, she sighed, her voice gradually lowered a little: "Mother, do you still remember the matter that Prince Bei came to Jia's mansion a few days ago?"

Aunt Xue raised her eyebrows, nodded and said: "Of course I remember, I still remember, when you came back that day, your face was very ugly, you must have failed to win his favor, so I didn't ask."

Speaking of this, Huo Ran was startled, and looked at Baochai with deep eyes, and hurriedly asked: "At this time, why did you suddenly mention Prince Bei? What does your marriage have to do with him?"

Baochai's eyes were like water, and she replied in a low voice: "The Lord of the North is a figure that few people can match in this world. As soon as I saw him, I felt that Xue Baochai's husband should be like him."

"Zhu Yu was in front, but now I have to marry Bao Yu, how can I be happy?"

After hearing her words, Aunt Xue had a thought, she understood, and sighed: "I didn't know, you already fell in love with Prince Bei, but what can you do? Concubine Yuan has already written a handbook, how can you Violation?"

Looking at Xue Baochai, there was a smile on his face, and he comforted him: "This marriage was begged by your aunt in the palace. She has always loved you. If you marry, you will be a beautiful second grandma. The power of the housekeeper of Jia's mansion will naturally fall into your hands, no matter how hard you try to persuade Baoyu to make progress, the title of Madam Ming will certainly not be able to escape."

When Baochai heard this, her complexion did not improve, and her voice was like ice and snow, making people shudder: "I understand what my mother said, but I am not reconciled."

"At the beginning, when I dressed up to see Prince Bei, I just wanted to attract his attention, but I never thought that I would fall in love with him."

"I can't let him go, let alone bear it. Now, I have to marry Baoyu, but Lin Daiyu can win the favor of Prince Bei."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue was even more shocked, her eyes widened, and she asked: "You and Lord Bei have only met once, how can you tell who he has feelings for?"

Baochai stretched out her hand to roll up her hair at the sideburns, and said with a half-smile: "In this world, what I am best at is observing words and expressions. Although he was very steady that day, I can still tell what he is thinking at a glance."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue pondered for a long time before she sighed: "I originally thought that Jia's family is a family of noble gentry, but we are just businessmen. After all, this marriage was made by us, but we didn't know it. You have so much grievance in your heart."

He took Baochai's hand, rubbed it carefully, and persuaded softly: "Forget it, the matter has been settled, and it doesn't make much sense to say this now. Daughter, you should accept your fate and prepare for your marriage. In the future, you will get along well with Baoyu." , Bo a husband honors his wife.”

The corners of Baochai's lips raised, and there was a touch of bitterness on her dimple, but her voice was so cold: "Not to mention that over the years, Baoyu and that girl from the Lin family have had a childhood sweetheart that is incomparable to others. With a temperament that only loves to hang out in the boudoir, how can you earn me a royal title in the future?"

Speaking of this, I felt more and more sad in my heart, and my words were low and heavy, with the meaning of choking: "I could still participate in the draft and have a chance to compete with Lin girl, but now, I have no hope at all. It was misunderstood by the Jia family."

Aunt Xue heard her cold tone, she was speechless for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, the matter has come to this point, no matter how sad you are, it will not help the matter, why don't you think about how to go in the future."

After hearing this, Baochai's pretty cheeks twisted a bit, and her voice also had the meaning of gnashing of teeth: "I feel uncomfortable, how can I let others live in peace? I can't get it, how can I let others have it?"

"I didn't think too far ahead about the future. Now I only have one thought - I must never make Lin girl feel better."

The bottom of her heart was already full of sadness, and she had no other feelings, so she could only magnify that resentment infinitely, filling the emptiness and loneliness left by the riches and teenage love.

Aunt Xue has always attached great importance to this daughter, although she was a little startled when she heard the words, she did not stop her, but smiled and said: "If this can make you feel better, then mother will not object to whatever you want to do. "

Hearing that Xue Baochai smiled, the expression on his face was gloomy and vicious, without the clarity and simplicity that a boudoir girl should have, and his voice became cold, as if frozen in ice and snow: "I have already thought about this, that girl The most powerful thing is her appearance, as long as I think of a way to destroy her face, then Prince Bei will naturally not take care of her, even Baoyu will never look at her more."

Biting her red lips, she pinched her fingers deeply into her palms, and she decided to use her own hands to completely destroy the woman who blocked her light, and make that woman's life shattered, without any light at all!
