Xue Baochai, the belly of the Red Chamber

Autumn and winter are coming again, and the weather will be colder.

It is said that because the plum blossoms were in full bloom in the garden in Ningguo Mansion in the east, Jia Zhen's wife Youshi invited a group of female relatives to visit the mansion to enjoy the flowers.

The Xue family also received the invitation, and Aunt Xue, who was always a little bored at home, naturally accepted the invitation.Although Xue Baochai has always liked peach blossoms, not to mention that Nuanfengwu where she lives has hundreds of peach trees for ornamental purposes, and there are not a few other places in Xue's mansion.But she also appreciates other flowers.

Therefore, when Aunt Xue told her that she wanted to accompany her to Ningguo Mansion, Xue Baochai only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed.

What surprised Xue Baochai a little was that when they arrived at Ningguo Mansion, Youshi came out to greet them with a group of maids and daughters-in-law.That scene made Xue Baochai feel a little doubtful.

"My aunt is here." When You Shi saw Aunt Xue coming, she greeted her with a smile.

Seeing You Shi's attitude, Xue Baochai immediately raised her eyebrows. When did the relationship between the two of them become so close?It doesn't look like a polite look.

When Aunt Xue saw Youshi, she also smiled and said, "Why did you come out in person? It's not like I don't know my way here."

Speaking of which, the reason why Aunt Xue and Youshi are so close is now.It's not because of anything else, it's just a sympathy for each other.Aunt Xue lost her husband in middle age, and You Shi, although Jia Zhen is still there, it is better for You Shi to die of illness.It's really such a husband who, besides spending time and drinking, playing with cats and dogs, is not afraid of meat and vegetables, and even has an affair with his own wife, it's worth noting.

In such a situation, the relationship between the two people has improved.After getting along, I found that the two people's ideas had much in common.Both of them are people with nothing to do, so the relationship is naturally getting closer.Only then did You Shi hear that Aunt Xue was coming and came out to greet her in person.

"This is Bao girl. I haven't seen her for a while, but she is getting more and more beautiful." Youshi and Aunt Xue said a few words here, then turned their eyes to Xue Baochai, and said with a smile.She has no children of her own, so she naturally loves Xue Baochai very much when she sees Xue Baochai now.

Xue Baochai smiled and bowed: "Baochai has met Sister-in-law Zhen." Even though Youshi is only two years younger than Aunt Xue, her seniority is slightly lower, and she is from Jia Lian's generation. It is called sister-in-law.

"You child is really too polite. You are all from your own family, why are you doing these vain rituals. I heard from your mother that you were ill a few days ago, how are you doing now?" Actually, these words were just a casual question. Xue Baochai's face was rosy, and her skin was crystal clear, so she already knew that she was safe.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Please trouble my sister-in-law to think about it, it is already safe."

"That's good. You won't be allowed to be so naughty in the future." You Shi smiled, "I'm a little rude. Let's go in and talk first."

Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue naturally did not disagree.

Xue Baochai and Aunt Xue arrived here not long ago, when the servant girl came to report that the old lady of Xifu had arrived.The chair hadn't even warmed up yet, so I had to get up and go out to greet him.

After another salutary speech and a short rest, all the people followed Jia Mu to play in Huifang Garden.It has to be said that it is not unreasonable for You Shi to invite everyone to come and admire the plum blossoms, because the plum blossoms in her garden are really beautiful.At a glance, the plum blossoms in full bloom are like a red glow.

After admiring the plum blossoms, he sat down not far away in the octagonal glazed pavilion that had been surrounded by curtains and warmed by a stove.After tea and wine, we talked for a while about homely things and human affairs.

After talking for a while, Mother Jia saw a group of people chattering non-stop, and said with a smile: "Okay, once you young girls go to play, it will be boring to be with us, which restricts your nature. .”

"Grandfather, grandson is the happiest when you are by your side. There is no limit." Jia Baoyu immediately said sweetly.

Hearing his words, Xue Baochai frowned immediately.It is said that Jia Baoyu is playful and honest, but now it seems that this articulation is also clever and does not belong to Jia Lian.

Although Qing knew that Jia Baoyu's words were not sincere, Jia's mother was still elated by Jia Baoyu, "You naughty monkey, you are used to making people happy. Okay, go out and laugh with your sisters." .”

Only then did Jia Baoyu happily answer.

Since Jia Baoyu made the first move, the rest of Lin Daiyu, Jia Yingchun, and others naturally did not disagree, and they all nodded happily.They are a group of young girls who are really not very interested in Jia Mu's domestic topics, but they can't show their displeasure yet.Now that they are dead, everyone is smiling.

This made Jia Mu say a few more words.

"Sister Bao, you haven't come to the mansion for a while? But which maid in the mansion ran into you? If so, you can tell me directly. I'll tell Sister Feng to let her Let her help you out. You can't end up with the sisters in the mansion just because of this." As soon as he got out of the pavilion, he saw Jia Baoyu approaching him and said so.

Xue Baochai took two steps aside indiscriminately, separated the distance from Jia Baoyu, and said, "Second cousin is really paranoid. I wasn't unhappy when I was in the mansion. It's just that the family was a little busy a few days ago, and I didn't feel happy anymore. I didn't pay attention to the wind blowing for a while, and I stayed at home for a long time, so I didn't come to the mansion."

"Sister Bao. Are you sick? How are you doing now?" Jia Baoyu hurriedly asked with a worried look on his face when he heard Xue Baochai's words.

"It doesn't matter, it's already healed. Thank you for remembering." What's going on with this Jia Baoyu?What does it mean to be so courteous?The face of the girl from the Lin family next to him turned pale a lot, and when she looked at him with her wonderful eyes, she was full of sadness.

Tsk tsk, what kind of identity is this cousin?It is really easy to deduce a love story of joys and sorrows.As long as she is not involved, it means that she is really looking forward to their future direction.

Listening to Xue Baochai's lukewarm words, Jia Baoyu's heart, which had been scorching hot since he hadn't seen Xue Baochai for many days, cooled down as quickly as if someone had poured a basin of ice water.It's just that this kind of cooling didn't last long. Turning around inadvertently, seeing Xue Baochai's beautiful side profile and the gentle and generous smile on his face, he ignited again.

Forget it, Sister Bao's temperament is here, so it's not surprising that she has such an attitude.

After comforting himself in his heart, Jia Baoyu quickly leaned up again, sticking to Xue Baochai and asking questions.

Of course, Xue Baochai was disgusted by his aggressive attitude.But looking out of the corner of his eye, there were people all around him, thinking about Jia Baoyu's current status, he could only suppress the anger welling up in his heart and talk to him reluctantly.

It's just that Xue Baochai overestimated his endurance.Because it’s not just Jia Baoyu who is nagging here, even if it’s a plum blossom, it’s not pretending to explain the origin of the plum tree and some legends, or it’s singing some poems and songs praising the plum blossom.Also, Miss Lin has been looking at herself with sad and resentful eyes.

The combination of these two things made Xue Baochai really bored, and after a while, he found an excuse and walked away from them.

"Girl, where are you going now?" Yun Juan looked around, and they had already separated from the main force.Thinking that this is after all in someone else's home, it's not as comfortable as being in one's own home, and it's not easy to move around, so he reminded him.

Xue Baochai said, "Walk around as you please." She knew Yun Juan's worry, so when she reached the Chaoshou corridor not far away, she stopped, sat on the rocky platform, and said, "Yun Juan Roll, let’s rest here for a while. We’ll go over there when it’s almost time for lunch.” I went early, just to avoid Jia Baoyu’s chatter, and then we’re going to welcome Mrs. Jia’s wife. Kind of a joke.

"Yes, girl."

To be honest, even if the scenery in Ningguo Mansion cannot be said to be one step at a time, it is not far behind.Although it is now winter, because there are many plum blossoms planted in the mansion, it is time to bloom at this time, and in the past two days, there has just been a winter snow, and the snow is white and red. Plum blossoms add charm to Fuchu.

Yun Juan watched as he was sitting in the chaoshou verandah without moving. Although there was no wind, it was a cold place, and he wanted to persuade Xue Baochai in case something unexpected happened to Xue Baochai.But before she could speak, a man came out from behind a rockery, bowed and said to Xue Baochai, "Aunt Xue is well."

Xue Baochai took a closer look and saw that he was a wealthy and romantic son, dressed in brocade clothes, with a very beautiful face, but the impetuous eyebrows and eye corners and the faint smell of powder on his body, he knew that he was just a dude from a rich family. .

"Who do I know? It's Brother Rong. You're not here to accompany the guests at this time, how come you came here?" The person who came was the young master of Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen's only son Jia Rong.

This Jia Rong is also a very unlucky guy. Although he is said to be the future owner of Ningguo Mansion, his biological mother died young. Although he is the only son, his father is not very sad for him, and neither is his stepmother.And the servants in the two mansions of Rongning and Ningxia are all people who watch the dishes, not to mention their eyes are above the top.Relying on themselves to serve in the mansion for a few days, the score is actually bigger than the master.Although Jia Rong is the future heir of the serious master in the mansion.But life is really not very good.

She finally survived until she grew up and married a wife. Although her family background was very ordinary, she was just the daughter of a petty official, but she was born beautiful, with a graceful and slender figure, gentle and peaceful in her behavior, and a romantic temperament, and she was better than Jia's mother. many compliments.It's just a pity that she was a little too nice to be caught by her father-in-law.She is not a person who abides by her duties, and she is hooked by Jia Zhen to do irrelevant things whenever she comes and goes.

Xue Baochai only sneered when she saw the information that Dan Xin found, it really is that the rich and the rich are dirty.Although Ningrong and Rongfu have been going downhill for more than ten years, things like this have not been pulled down at all.

Originally, to Xue Baochai, this incident was nothing more than a flirtatious affair.But after coming here today, seeing Jia Rong, she felt that this matter could not be said to her, but it was a usable thing.

Just looking at Jia Rong seriously, are you still ashamed now?
