Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

Aunt Xue, Xia Jingui, and Xue Pan gathered in Baochai's room one after another. Xia Jingui's sharp eyes saw that Baochai's face was flushed, and she said some irrelevant words, which made Baochai cry with anger. Xia Jingui didn't want to tear up her face. , winked at Xue Pan, and pulled Xue Pan out of the room.

The couple Xue and Xia walked away with the sound of footsteps, and Aunt Xue felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.She didn't think much of this daughter-in-law's manners, manners, and upbringing. She only blamed herself for not being able to control her daughter-in-law, which made her worry all day long, and her precious daughter was also humiliated.

Xia Jingui's shrill laughter came into the room, and the obvious mockery in the voice stimulated the ears of Baochai's mother and daughter. Aunt Xue sat on the chair with her heart in her hands, panting heavily.

Baochai rushed over to caress Aunt Xue's chest, and said comfortingly, "Mother, why worry, just treat her like a madman and talk crazy. Why should you care about what someone like her says! It's not worth it if you're sick, so don't ask for medicine. Suffer yourself."

Aunt Xue just panted for breath, and it took a while before she calmed down.

Seeing that she was fine, Baochai sat down slowly, but Xia Jingui's words lingered in his mind involuntarily.

Baochai thought to herself, does she really like Baoyu?Even my brother could see what she was thinking!

Like it?What's wrong with liking Baoyu?Why can't she like Baoyu?

At first, it was because the draft didn’t have a story, and in order to marry the Jia family, she spread the theory of a good marriage. She clearly didn’t pay attention to Baoyu, who was younger than her. Call, if you don't know how to make progress, what can you do?What she didn't expect was that Baoyu gradually grew up over time, and she couldn't help falling in love with him unconsciously.

What's more, my aunt, mother and sister have long regarded her and Baoyu as a natural pair, and my aunt has shown her love for herself in her words, showing her heart more than once. She wholeheartedly regards Jia's family as her home.If a golden and jade marriage is successful, he will be her husband, and it is only natural that he likes Baoyu.

Shouldn't Sister Feng and Li Wan like their husband?

Then I thought about boudoir training, how could a daughter have an affair with a man before marriage if she is not married?It's just that if this man is her future husband, it can be a different matter, and she must stick to it.

Thinking of it this way, she felt relieved, but she was a little regretful, Baoyu had no academic achievements at present, so she didn't have to worry about her future. Didn't my uncle also become an official without passing the imperial examination?It depends on how you train Baoyu in the future.In the future, if she marries, she should spend more time persuading her.One is to get rid of his habit of being popular, and the other is to force him to study and improve.

Aunt Xue found a comfortable position, and seeing Baochai was deep in thought, she sighed and said, "How good is this? I used to live in the garden, and we were always the first to arrive at your aunt's house. Now How could we come late to such a happy event as your uncle's promotion? It's all my fault that I shouldn't have agreed with you to move out in the first place. "

Self-care continued and continued: "It seems that the Jia family has a turning point, and it will not be defeated. Bao'er, it's not that your mother said you, but you are too opinionated, and you blame me for listening to you in everything, and I don't want you to accept it." A little bit wronged. You should not have moved out in a hurry, which made your aunt feel uncomfortable. It seemed that the two families had separated, and Baoyu was indifferent. How can you move in now? It really made me angry."

Aunt Xue babbled on, Baochai was agitated for a while, if the person opposite was her mother, she would have had a fit of accusation.So I stood up, walked slowly to the cabinet, stood up and bowed my head to think for a while, then turned to Aunt Xue and said, "Mom, but don't worry. I didn't hear the letter when I came back just now. I think it happened. We didn't use it in the past." It will be late. I will go to Baoyu's place first with a gift tonight, and go to Auntie's place with him, so that it won't be abrupt, and my mother will give Auntie a big gift tomorrow, wouldn't it show that our family is well-mannered!"

Aunt Xue's eyes lit up, she felt reasonable.It turned out that my worry about being helpless became a trivial matter when my daughter said it. This daughter is really her backbone, and she is many times stronger than that son.

Aunt Xue settled down, thought about it and said: "That's not enough. We always want to gain both fame and fortune in doing things, so as to benefit us the most. Sending gifts, only your aunt's family will see the benefits of our family. I was thinking about how to use your uncle's opportunity to pass on the name of our Xue family?"

Baochai smiled slightly, and Cheng Zhu said in his chest: "Mum, don't worry, I have thought of it all. I just thought how could the two prefectures not have a banquet to celebrate with this joyful atmosphere, and we must be invited. If you stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling face, then Aunt Shi will definitely try to persuade us, let's take advantage of the opportunity to move in, who can gossip?"

Aunt Xue thought about it and said: "We didn't go to the evening banquet held by my son the other day. The old lady must be upset, and someone will say that we have trouble in our hearts. If you go to join in the fun while your aunt is holding a big banquet today, wouldn't it be Let people say that we are here in a hurry to curry favor while watching your uncle's promotion?"

Baochai walked up to Aunt Xue, leaned on Aunt Xue and said, "Mom didn't understand what I meant. Of course we have to look forward and backward, make it easy for ourselves, and not offend others, so that everyone can have fun. In the name of promotion, we will organize a banquet for them to celebrate. First, my aunt is happy, and second, our family's reputation has spread. We simply invited the maid and mother-in-law. Others only say that our family is generous, and we will What are you talking about? Who doesn’t look forward to the banquet, and they themselves have the idea, even if we don’t do it, they have discussed it over there, why don’t we just take the name.”

Aunt Xue still felt that something was wrong, she patted her daughter's white and tender hand and said, "It's because your uncle has been promoted, it has nothing to do with our family, so what's the matter? It's not me I don't want to, such a big matter has to be thoughtful after all, if people grab a word or two, we will lose face."

Baochai nodded and said, "I know what mother wants." She left Aunt Xue, walked half a circle in the room, thought for a long time, and then said, "Since this is the case, why not be like the crab feast last time, which was invited by my uncle in name?" , or the money we spent, which of those servants don’t know? They must remember us. My aunt also understands.”

Aunt Xue saw that Baochai was not in a hurry, steady and dignified, and she trusted her in her heart, but she found it difficult to do so, and said, "Last time, it was easier to get close to her in the name of Miss Yun. Anyway, it's your uncle, so it's hard to say."

Just after hesitating to finish speaking, he patted his head and said: "Why didn't I think of it, I will tell your aunt right now, your aunt will be happy."

He laughed again: "It's still Bao'er's head elf, hundreds of times stronger than your bastard brother, but your brother is just as good, he is still filial to me, and knows how to hurt your sister, he asks what we are going to do There are few, just do it honestly, that’s the only thing that pleases people. You can rest assured that you can boldly design ostentation, but it’s better to plan it in a grand way, let your brother buy things, don’t worry about money.”

You don’t have to worry, you have these things at home, and your home must be cheaper than outside. If you pick something cheap for yourself, why not do it to please others.

Seeing that Aunt Xue was active, Baochai's heart brightened, and she said, "In this case, Auntie must mention it before moving in. But in my opinion, we'd better not move in."

Aunt Xue thought for a while and said, "That's fine. We just need to settle the marriage as early as possible. It's just right not to move in, so we're reserved. Besides, even if we move in because of the banquet, people don't feel that way. It's not bad anyway." For a day or two, we can rest assured at home and wait for Jia's sedan chair to pick you up, and see who will say anything."

Baochai nodded, with a vague smile on her face, suddenly thinking of Xia Jingui's words, her heart felt like a needle prick.

Immediately, Baochai turned pale and said, "Mom, I'm supposed to be a daughter's family, and I should listen to you and my brother in everything. But my mother and I have lived in the mansion for these years, and all the affairs in the mansion are up to you, mother and daughter." In my heart, you and I can see Jia Baoyu's intentions for Lin Daiyu. Although it is a golden marriage, it seems that Brother Bao doesn't approve of this marriage. No. Why don't we take a step back and only maintain the relationship between the two families, and mother should make more friends with noble ladies and find a high-class family. I don't believe that my golden lock is only worthy of his jade!"

Her eyes were red, Xia Jingui's words were still stuck in her heart, she was much stronger than Yingchun, and Xia Jingui was in heaven and earth, knowledgeable, virtuous and quiet, but she never married, people who knew her said she had a high heart, no Those who knew said she couldn't get married.

No wonder people say that she likes Baoyu, is she really waiting for Baoyu?

Aunt Xue understood her daughter's concerns, hugged Baochai and said, "My daughter is suffering. Don't take what your sister-in-law says to heart. Pity my daughter. For the sake of Xue's family, she has been a female celebrity with her mother since she was a child, and she is everywhere in Jia's mansion. Cheng Se laughed with her. It's hard for my daughter."

The voice choked up, and the tears fell in strings.And her daughter should have lived a relaxed and carefree life like the Jia family's daughter.

In fact, Xue's mother and daughter are as comfortable as at home in Jia's mansion. Except for the plaque on the door that reads "Rongguo Mansion", no one can tell that they are not from Jia's mansion.

Aunt Xue said again: "Mom also wants you to live a relaxed life. You write poems and get together with your sisters on weekdays, but our family can't. It's my mother who made you wronged. Now even your sister-in-law People have taken you lightly. The only thing on my mother's mind now is to let you marry someone she likes."

Baochai circled Aunt Xue's waist, which was no longer stiff, smiled and said coquettishly: "Mom, don't say these things, I don't feel wronged. I wonder if Shi Xiangyun, Miss Hou's Mansion, also works until midnight, let alone our family. We lived in Jia's house, which allowed me to meet people and things that people like us might never see in my life. My daughter is really happy."

Baochai held back her tears, not wanting to worry her mother about her.

Aunt Xue stroked Baochai's beautiful hair, seeing her daughter acting like a baby, her heart warmed, she nodded and wiped away her tears.But what she thinks in her heart is different from Baochai's. She only thinks that now that her brother-in-law Jia Zheng has been promoted, the Jia family can still prosper.Xia Jingui is right, if Baochai can marry Baoyu, not only will Baochai have no worries in her life, she will not have to worry about Baochai being angry with her mother-in-law, and the Xue family will also get better.It’s nothing to spend this much on your own family now, and you will come back more in the future.The most important thing is that Baochai is reliable for life.

Because of thinking, my heart is like a hundred flowers blooming, as long as I can keep in touch with Jia's family, it will always be beneficial.Besides, there is her sister, Mrs. Wang.

But Baochai and his mother expressed their feelings, feeling a little bit disappointed.She has always been proud and arrogant. Although she is kind, she cannot tolerate others violating her dignity. She is determined to marry someone with a higher family status than Jia Baoyu.Besides, with a deeply rooted sense of hierarchy, how can she tolerate being inferior to others?

All this depends on my aunt. Remembering the promise to do the homework for Baoyu, I turned out the rich and noble peony picture embroidered in the past, held it up in front of my eyes, and felt satisfied, so I was anxious to go to Yihong Courtyard, so I got up to freshen up. After a while, regardless of the approaching dusk, he called Xiangling with a lantern to follow, and the two wandered into the garden.
