The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

For the first time, Aunt Xue was a little afraid of Xue Pan's return.Baochai naturally noticed it, and she didn't want to be cold, so she asked, "Brother said he could come back earlier, why did it take so long? Is everything going well? Mom and I are very worried." Xue Pan laughed She drank a glass of wine with a smile and said, "Well, after going out, I stopped by Suzhou to buy some earthen instruments." Baochai glanced at Xue Pan, then at Aunt Xue without showing any signs, and ate it wholeheartedly. The food is here.Aunt Xue was also afraid, and said: "My son, you just came back, rest first, and then go visit various places. Your sister and I will take care of the gift." Xue Pan responded with a smile that was not a smile, and replied : "My sister is at ease in doing things. I just want to ask my mother, does my mother take what I said to heart?" Aunt Xue tried her best to reply: "I told your aunt, thinking about when the old lady When I am happy, I will mention it to the old lady. It’s just that I don’t know that the child is unlucky and has such a disease. Hey-if it’s another disease, it’s up to her, we can’t care about it.” Xue Pan sneered: “Mom Don't lie to me that I don't understand, it's not that this kind of disease can't be cured after many years. It's such a big deal, and my mother still wants to cover it up. Let me talk about it as soon as possible, and I still have the patience to listen to my mother's excuse." After finishing speaking, he said coldly Looking at Aunt Xue.Aunt Xue burst into tears immediately, and cried, "I don't want to either." Baochai hurriedly went up to persuade her, saying, "Brother, don't scare mom. If brother insists, I'll tell the old lady about it tomorrow." " Aunt Xue also hurriedly responded.Xue Pan snorted coldly, and walked away without even paying respects.Aunt Xue put her arms around Baochai and cried, "What foolish thing am I doing? Pan'er won't ignore us." Baochai persuaded, "Mom, you should tell me what you did... Let's see. Sister Qiu is no longer a girl. How can people talk about killing and killing. Now we can only follow my brother's wishes and talk to my aunt tomorrow. Otherwise, what kind of relationship can we have with my brother? After finishing speaking, Baochai shed tears herself, and said to herself: Although my brother has grown up now, he has no affection for my mother and me.I'm afraid that our weight in his heart won't be the slightest bit of Qiushui's.

Early the next morning, Baochai and Aunt Xue drove to Jia's mansion together.Aunt Xue went directly to Mrs. Wang's upper room.Baochai went back to the garden, thought for a while, then sent Yinger back to Hengwu Courtyard, and went to the □□ Pavilion by herself.Daiyu had just gotten up at that time, leaning against the table to drink porridge there.The little girl led Baochai in, and Daiyu put down her chopsticks and said with a smile, "Sister came so early, could it be that she smells the fragrance of my porridge?" At the same time, she asked Zijuan to go down and serve another bowl.At this time, Daiyu had her own small kitchen, the only one in Jia's mansion.Baochai came here often these days, and didn't refuse, just sat down with a smile.After Daiyu had finished drinking, Baochai asked her carefully if she slept well last night.Daiyu nodded and said with a smile: "It's better now. But when the weather gets hotter, I won't be able to sleep. I have a bit of a bitter summer, huh, this is a bit like my sister..." Without saying a word After finishing, Daiyu turned to ask Zijuan for tea.Baochai didn't seem to notice anything, and said with a smile: "Yes, sister Qiu has always been in good health. In summer alone, she has no energy, and eats lazily." Daiyu nodded, but did not answer.Baochai talked about Qiushui on his own.Later, seeing the sun getting higher and higher, she smiled and covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I have been making trouble with you for a long time, and I should go too. You should also take care of yourself, otherwise sister Qiu will feel distressed when she sees her again." Said I'm leaving now.Daiyu got up and stayed for a while.Baochai declined with a smile and said, "My mother is here too, we'll have dinner together later." Daiyu nodded and sent her out of Baoxia herself.

Seeing her walking away, Daiyu sat on the porch thinking about it for a while, and then smiled.After returning to the house, she went to find Zhao Nanny and told her: "Manny tidies up my sister's things in private. It would be nice if I don't have to wait for my sister to come back for a long time." Zhao Nanny was surprised but agreed without asking.Daiyu went to take care of Qiushui's favorite writing brush and ink by herself, with a smile on her face.

Baochai first went back to the Hengwu Courtyard, intending to rest for a while before going to Mrs. Wang's.Just now a little girl replied that Mrs. Wang had left a meal and asked Baochai to come over.Baochai was very upset, thinking about what these two things were all about, so she went to get a cold fragrant pill, and it would feel better after eating.Ying'er advised from the side: "If the girl doesn't want to go, then don't go. Even if the girl knows about such things, she can't talk about it, and instead she provokes the suspicion of both parties." Baochai thought for a while, and asked Yinger to go to Mrs. Wang to answer. .

After hearing Ying'er's reply, Aunt Xue asked Ying'er to go back to serve Baochai, and Mrs. Wang also said some polite words.Aunt Xue said directly to Mrs. Wang: "Pan'er wants to marry Miss Lin wholeheartedly, and I can't help it. I can only follow his wishes. Please take the trouble to mention this matter to the old lady." Mrs. Wang Hearing this, he squeezed the Buddhist beads on his hand and said, "Qiu Shui probably already guessed what we did earlier, if I mention a word or two to Pan'er in the future... sister, don't forget those things, but sister I personally agreed, and even the medicine was given to me by my sister." Aunt Xue was also afraid, and said: "Sister, why bother to scare me by saying this, we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. What else can we do? Now Pan If I don’t marry Miss Lin, I’m afraid that Pan’er will ignore me and Baochai.” Mrs. Wang glanced at the weak Aunt Xue with some displeasure, and continued: “Since Pan’er My son wants to marry Qiushui wholeheartedly. As an aunt, I am not good at playing mandarin ducks. Since I am so, I will go to the old lady to mention it. Paner is also getting older, so it is time to take a daughter-in-law to carry on the family line. It is only the power of the housekeeper in the future. Sister, don't let go easily." The tone was indescribably soft and intimate.Aunt Xue wiped the corners of her eyes and nodded yes.Mrs. Wang later recommended some pretty daughters born in the Jia family, saying that she was afraid that Aunt Xue might not have enough manpower, so she would send them to Xue Pan.Aunt Xue also knew what Mrs. Wang meant, so she declined and said that she had prepared a few, and there was no shortage of people.But Mrs. Wang couldn't stand the persuasion many times, so she asked for two.Seeing that Aunt Xue wanted it, Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "But it's not a problem for Qiushui to live outside. It's better to visit my sister whenever she is free, and persuade her to come back to live. But it's just a little bit of anger, so there's such a big fuss." I don’t have a good temper.” Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue replied: “I also want to marry Qiushui in the door early, and wait until the matter of Pan’er is over before I can prepare for the matter of Tiao’er and Bao girl. I’m afraid I’m too busy. .Furthermore, it is not good for us to show our faces now, otherwise it will be a joke." Paused, before Mrs. Wang could speak, she continued: "I didn't prepare at all at first, it's time to spend some

thought.If you are marrying your sister again, you should prepare more generously, otherwise it will not look good on the face.My sister also helped me. Just like that, she diverted the conversation and refused. Mrs. Wang was not very happy, but she had no choice but to give up.

After a few days, when Jia Mu was happy, Sister Feng took the lead, and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue told the matter together with Xue Biao and Xing Yanyan.Sister Feng was joking and said some beautiful words.Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue with a half-smile.Jiamu said with a smile: "I said that these things would happen in the first place, so I was waiting here. It really is good fortune and misfortune. The ancients said it is not bad." Sister Feng flattered Jiamu and said, "It's not Well. The ancients said that good things take time, which is not bad." Finally, Aunt Xue said, "The old lady Yang has to be a matchmaker for these two matters. The Lin family also needs to inform them, and it is urgent to tell them to prepare early." Jia Mu She smiled and said, "My aunt is impatient, and the second daughter-in-law should also help out. It's all relatives of my own family who don't need to worry about those hypocrisy." Mrs. Wang could only agree and said, "Since this is the case, we still have to send someone to invite Miss Lin Come back. Otherwise, it won’t be a good idea to marry from outside.” At the same time, he ordered Sister Feng to prepare.Sister Feng looked at the old lady, and the old lady nodded her and said with a smile: "You monkey, if you still want to get a reward from me, you can't do it. When you are done, just go to your wife and concubine. I will decide for you. Since It's the concubine's family who wants to hold a wedding, so the second daughter-in-law can just go and help out, and let Sister Feng arrange the affairs of Qiushui in the house. She should be tired after being lazy for so many days." Sister Feng hurriedly accepted Jia Mu's words, joking several times.They also agreed to pick up Qiushui on a good day after asking about Daiyu's place.However, before Qiu Shui came back, these things should not be revealed, so as to avoid rumors.

When Qiushui received Daiyu's letter, he vaguely guessed what Xue Pan had done, and before he could think about it, his face turned red.Thinking about some things Daiyu said again, she was a little worried, and wrote back: "Don't let the news leak before the dust settles. This matter may not go so smoothly, and you should be more careful these days. Last time we The people are all in use, and I'm afraid you will be restrained by them at this time, so don't call them too loudly, and ask Mother Liuyue Zhao to sort it out again. I have already written a letter to ask Uncle Lin to come to Beijing, so you are responsible for everything outside. Don't worry. It doesn't matter if I stay here or go back to Suzhou. The weather is not very good at this time, you should take care of yourself and listen to the advice of Mammy and Zijuan, and don't just do nonsense. If you let me know, I will I will ignore you." There were a lot of orders.Worried about it, Tete wrote a letter to Mother Zhao to ask her to pay attention.
