The mother of the forest in the Red Chamber wears the mother of Jia

When Xue Baochai came, Lin Daiyu was not there. However, Lin Daiyu always knew about the Jia family's news. Lin's mother would never forget Lin Daiyu's share of any good things. It was the maids who served Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu would naturally learn about the Jia family from them.

Lin Daiyu naturally knew about Xue Baochai, and several maids had different impressions of Xue Baochai. Some felt that Xue Baochai was born beautiful and dignified, with a stable personality, and was usually gentle and generous.Some also felt that Xue Baochai looked gentle and amiable, but she just couldn't make people get close.

I also heard that Shi Xiangyun didn't like Xue Baochai very much, but Xue Baochai was busy preparing for the election, and didn't have time to be with Sanchun, Shi Xiangyun and the others. Sanchun didn't seem to think much about Xue Baochai, and Quan regarded it as an ordinary guest.

Even Tanchun is the same. Although Xue Baochai is the niece of the aunt, the problem is that the Wang family has lost power, especially since Xue Baochai concentrated on preparing for the election there, even Wang's attitude towards Xue Baochai is not as close as before. It's okay to go to flatter Xue Baochai, no matter how generous and thoughtful Xue Baochai is, it doesn't matter to Tanchun.Tanchun has always had a clear plan and purpose, pleasing Xue Baochai will not do her any good, so she will not do such a thing.

Lin Daiyu was inevitably a little curious about Xue Baochai, but it was only curiosity. Before Xue Baochai came to Jia's house, she had also heard that Lin Daiyu was raised by Lin's mother, so she also prepared a gift for Lin Daiyu. When they arrived at Fanghuayuan, they were later taken to the Lin Mansion by Chunxian who stayed behind at Fanghuayuan. This was the only intersection between Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.

When Lin Daiyu came over, Sanchun and her have developed some sisterhood after all these years. Although Shi Xiangyun was a little jealous of Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu was not a threat to her, so he had a good time with Lin Daiyu. Besides, there was Jia Baoyu who liked to join in the fun Therefore, several people directly used this as an excuse to pay some money and prepare a small banquet to welcome Lin Daiyu back.

Originally, this was nothing to do with Xue Baochai. After all, everyone knew that Xue Baochai was busy learning the rules when the election was approaching. Thinking of making a post for Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai turned out to be an uninvited guest and came uninvited.

This is also unavoidable, Xue Baochai has also heard of Lin Daiyu's reputation long ago, not only Sanchun Shi Xiangyun, but also among the servants, Lin Daiyu is a beautiful and refined character, and she looks unforgiving in her mouth, but in fact she is quite In order to be magnanimous and generous, Xue Baochai usually looks gentle, but in fact she is quite proud. She feels that whether it is Sanchun or Shi Xiangyun, in addition to birth, conduct, and other aspects, they are not as good as her. Now listen to those servants The meaning is that Lin Daiyu is quite respected, and he can't help but want to win.

Of course, there is also a reason for Lin Daiyu's background. Lin Daiyu's father is the servant of the Ministry of Rites. Although he is not very popular nowadays, he is also a figure with a sacred heart. Since Xue Baochai has the ambition of Qingyun, he naturally wants to make friends.Therefore, after hearing that Lin Daiyu was coming, and knowing from the servants that they held a small banquet in the garden in front of the Rongqing Hall, it was a celebration after the reunion after a farewell. Although Xue Baochai felt that she didn't invite herself, it seemed a bit rash to go there. She was abrupt, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to get acquainted with Lin Daiyu, so she ordered someone to bring some fruit snacks and the like, and went directly to Rongqingtang.

Hearing that Xue Baochai had come, the girls who were playing around were taken aback. Shi Xiangyun was always straightforward, and now he said directly: "Isn't she waiting to enter the palace in Lixiangyuan? Don't care about it, what are you doing here today!"

Tanchun hesitated for a while, but still said: "After all, she is also a guest, so she can't be turned away!"

Yingchun remained silent, but Xichun snorted softly, and Lin Daiyu also covered her mouth with a smile: "I've heard about this sister Bao for a long time. Before, people have their own ambitions, so it's not easy to disturb. I haven't seen her today. Since there is an opportunity, it is natural to get to know each other!"

Shi Xiangyun muttered: "What is there to get acquainted with her!"

But Jia Baoyu said: "I haven't seen Sister Bao for a long time. Sister Bao is also pitiful. It's really not good to be detained by an old woman all day long! Sister Lin, Sister Bao is also a fairy-like figure. You will definitely like it." Hers!" Hearing what Jia Baoyu said, Shi Xiangyun gave Jia Baoyu a sideways look and snorted softly.

Lin Daiyu took a strange look at Jia Baoyu, and called herself Sister Lin, Sister Shi Xiangyunyun, and Sister Xue Baochai. It seemed that in Jia Baoyu's heart, she was indeed just an outsider. Thinking about it this way, Lin Daiyu There was a clear light in her heart, and the whole person seemed relaxed and at ease, and she also showed a relaxed smile on her face, and said: "My cousin said so, I am really curious!"

Except for Shi Xiangyun, everyone reached a consensus, so they directly ordered: "Please come over, Miss Bao, and come out with a new table and a pair of cups and chopsticks!"

Xue Baochai came with her close-fitting maid Yinger carrying a food box, with a gentle smile on her face and a dignified demeanor. Xue Baochai almost engraved those rules into his bones after studying these days. Baoyu froze for a moment, then frowned and turned his head away.

And Lin Daiyu was also taken aback, feeling a sense of incongruity.No way, Xue Baochai participated in the small election, so it is naturally impossible for Madam He to teach her the etiquette of teaching concubines, princesses and princesses, so what is taught is the etiquette of palace maids and officials. The problem is that Xue Baochai's temperament, However, it is a bit inconsistent with these etiquettes. At first glance, it is nothing, but it is a bit awkward when you look at it again.Although Mammy He also discovered this, she didn't say much, she couldn't ask Xue Baochai to learn how to behave like a servant, she would definitely rebound at that time, so Mammy He felt that doing more is worse than doing less One thing, don't care about it at all.

Lin Daiyu only felt that meeting her was not as good as being famous, but she maintained basic politeness on the surface, and said with a smile: "Is it the sister of the Xue family? When my sister came, I was not there, so I was able to meet today!"

Xue Baochai also looked at Lin Daiyu in surprise. Although Xue Baochai was born in the south of the Yangtze River, her body was slightly plump. She was not a typical Jiangnan beauty, but more like a northern woman, while Lin Daiyu was slender and rather weak. In particular, Lin Daiyu didn't look timid, but had a confident and coquettish attitude. Even Xue Baochai felt a little heartbroken when she looked at it for a while, and she felt a little shaken in her heart, but she quickly returned to normal.

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "I heard that sister Lin arrived today, but I came here uninvited. Please forgive me!"

Without waiting for Lin Daiyu to speak, Jia Baoyu leaned over and said happily, "Is it our fault that I didn't post a message to you, Sister Bao? I'd better ask Sister Bao to forgive me!"

Shi Xiangyun's face was swollen with anger, but he didn't lose his temper in front of Jia Baoyu. He held back his anger, but said: "In the past, when I went to hunt for treasure, my sister was learning the rules from my mother. Now there is no need to look for it. My sister doesn't need to learn, it's really weird!"

Xue Baochai didn't change her face, and said directly: "Sisters rarely get together, no matter how busy you are, you can't miss it!"

Shi Xiangyun snorted softly, and said nothing more, but just pulled Jia Baoyu, not asking him to come closer.

As soon as Xue Baochai came, the relaxed atmosphere before was gone, and everyone gathered together, whispering some gossips, Xue Baochai was indeed very knowledgeable, she could pick up what you said, Yingchun was not good at words The man said a few words about the Daoist scriptures, and after Xue Baochai took a sharp turn, he didn't argue. He took a copy of the "Taishang Induction Sutra" and read it. Xue Baochai didn't feel embarrassed, and told Tanchun there again. When it comes to calligraphy, Tanchun has indeed put a lot of effort into it. Now when he talks about his pride, he can't help but feel a little elated, but he regrets those authentic works by famous masters, and even rubbings are not easy to come by.

Lin Daiyu just smiled and said: "My father returned to Beijing this time, but he brought all the calligraphy and paintings at home. I looked through the books a few days ago, but there were a few that seemed to be authentic works from the previous dynasty. There is a rubbing copy of Wei Bei, and I will lend you a copy for a few days later!"

Tanchun couldn't help being overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Sister Lin!"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "My sister, why are you being polite! I have joined calligraphy, but I only have a rough grasp of calligraphy. I will lend it to my third sister, so that the pearl will not be cast in secret!"

Tanchun also smiled: "Sister Lin's words are too modest, not to mention my sister's small script with hairpin flowers, even Fei Baishu has a lot of skills!"

The two talked lively, while Xichun also quarreled that he had looked at the pictures of flowers and birds of the predecessors before, and drew a picture by himself, but said that it was his own handwriting but his wrist strength was insufficient, and he wanted Lin Daiyu to write a picture for himself. word too!

Xue Baochai was left out in the cold, and she was naturally a little unhappy, especially when she saw Shi Xiangyun whispering to Jia Baoyu, and glanced at herself from time to time, as if laughing at herself, she suddenly lost her composure, and said : "Our daughter's family usually reads, writes and writes, which is considered to be more knowledgeable, but to be honest, it is the duty to pinpoint female celebrities, but it is not good to put the cart before the horse!"

As soon as she said this, she suddenly became cold again. Shi Xiangyun was the first to jump up. What she hated most was this kind of argument. It was like this when she was in the Shi family. If you want to say how harshly her aunt treated her, you can’t be like this She said that her cousins ​​were just average, they didn’t study very well, and after learning the Four Books for Women, after being enlightened to read and write, most of them became female celebrities with the embroiderer. This was what Shi Xiangyun was most annoying about. Forget about her aunt, she lives under someone else, who is an elder, so she can only listen. Now that Xue Baochai is here to teach them a big lesson, she sneered: "Sister Bao's words are true, but I don't know. Which one of my sister's body is my own handicraft?"
