[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

What's wrong with the Zhou family?

What did Chen Ping find out?

Should Tanchun withdraw from the Zhou family's marriage?

With a lot of questions in Bao Cong's head, he paced back and forth in the study very irritablely.

It was raining patter outside, and a gust of wind blew in through the window, which wet the rice paper on the desk.

Bao Cong hastily closed the window, picked up the soaked rice paper and threw it in the wastebasket casually, becoming even more irritable.

In the study room in the inner courtyard, Lin Daiyu and Xichun were discussing the selection of brushes and paints.Xichun agreed to Yingchun and wanted to paint a picture of Avalokitesvara to send her off.

Tanchun was holding a book of travel notes in his hand, sitting on the small bed in a daze, and he didn't see her turn a page of the book for a long time.

Xichun glanced at Tanchun, and asked Lin Daiyu curiously: "Sister Lin, look at Third Sister, we are talking lively here, but she ignores us."

Lin Daiyu also glanced at Tanchun, and said with a light smile, "She is bothering you!"

After coming back yesterday, Tanchun has been absent-minded, and she has already discovered it.She also knew what was bothering her, she was just thinking about the few words she heard at the gate.

Tanchun has always been strong. How could he not care about his marriage?

After thinking about it, Lin Daiyu went to the outer study again.

Bao Cong is thinking about this too...

He meant to say that Tanchun was in a daze, but he didn't expect that even Lin Daiyu would also be in a daze after saying a few words.

Xichun shook her head helplessly, and began to draw the outline of Songzi Guanyin on her own, and said while drawing: "I said, what's the trouble with you? After all, Brother Baocong will figure out a way. Let's draw this Songzi Guanyin first." The painting is finished, and I will give it to my second sister for an early offering!"

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses, and was about to tease Xichun, but Tanchun put down the travel notes and came over first.

She stretched out her hand and tapped Xichun's forehead, and said with a smile: "What us? Obviously you agreed to the second sister, and you were the one who agreed, and you were the one who wanted to draw, but now you are talking about us?"

Tanchun turned to Lin Daiyu: "Third sister-in-law, you said that this little girl always asks us to help her with her affairs, isn't it a good idea?"

Xichun was not convinced, and said to Tanchun: "Why is it only my business? Aunt Feng's family praised you vigorously there, you just take it well, why did you pull me?"

"It is said that I am good at painting, and I even painted the Grand View Garden. Everyone said that the painting is exquisite. Aunt Feng said that the picture of Songzi Guanyin at home has faded, and that the pictures of Songzi Guanyin in Guanyin Temple are all the same. , don’t you just want me to draw a good picture and send it to you?”

"Why did you take the job for me and not allow me to ask you for help?"

Xiaozui babbled, and made Tanchun speechless, so he could only complain to Lin Daiyu: "Look, I just said one sentence, and she has a lot of words waiting to block me, so don't dare to say it next time." It's a mess."

Tanchun is also very helpless, she is very good-looking, I don't know why Aunt Feng keeps praising her, saying that she is smart and capable, beautiful, demure and dignified, can recite poems and make right decisions, and can manage the house. What she heard there made her face blush.

If Xichun hadn't been involved, she would have suspected that Aunt Feng would give her the title of the first lady in the capital.

There are famous ladies all over the capital, all of whom are talented, well-educated and courteous, how can she afford such praise?

The Jia family has just experienced several major events, and she doesn't want to show up at such a time, it will make a big joke!

Lin Daiyu only pinched the handkerchief, and smiled to see the bickering between the two sisters.It's just that she was also puzzled, why is Aunt Feng's family always praising Tanchun for being so good?

If it's just to exchange pleasantries, you can stop boasting a few words at random. This has been pulling Tanchun to praise, no matter how you look at it, it feels strange...

Do you want to be a matchmaker?

Jia Zheng had already made a marriage contract for Tanchun, but the family knew it, and Aunt Feng didn't know the situation, so it was understandable for her to want to be a matchmaker.

Bao Cong is worrying about Tanchun's marriage, if the Feng family really intends to be a matchmaker, it would be a solution.The people from the Zhou family came, and they only said that when the ancestor was still alive, they decided to make a marriage for Tanchun first, and that it would be a matter of course to retire the marriage with the Zhou family...

Lin Daiyu and Bao Cong thought of this idea together.

Bao Cong only hesitated for two days, and immediately called the matchmaker to come to the door, and got the information of all unmarried men of the right age in the capital.Claiming to the outside world that they are looking at each other for Xichun, but in fact, it is natural to choose a suitable partner for Tanchun first.

But Xichun's age is about the same, if there is a suitable one, we can decide on it first.

When Xichun heard the news from the girls, she immediately blushed in anger, and grabbed Tanchun to make trouble with her, and said repeatedly: "Look, look, look, I only asked you to help with painting, but you are pulling my hair." Husband-in-law is coming under the banner!"

Tanchun was also blushing, and could only dodge left and right nimbly, and was about to trot in the warming room with her skirt in hand, "You little girl, you haven't married yet, and you're always talking about whether you're a husband or not? Shame on you!" Not ashamed?"

Then he yelled at the girls: "Catch her! Catch her!"

The maids hurriedly surrounded them with smiles, only Lin Daiyu stood aside to watch the fun.

Xichun saw that people gathered around to grab her, so she stretched out her hand to scratch their itch, causing a group of people to laugh and laugh, and said triumphantly: "It's obviously the third sister who is bad, but you actually help her and not me, it shows that you are all bad-hearted. !"

Tanchun's hair and dress were messed up, and he laughed and called Lin Daiyu: "Sister-in-law, take care of this crazy girl! What about Miss Qianjin? How can she look dignified?"

Xichun saw Lin Daiyu standing on the side watching them happy, pouted her small mouth, stretched out her hand and scratched Lin Daiyu up and down, not caring whether it was itchy or not, and made Lin Daiyu beg for mercy.

The maids turned to protect Lin Daiyu, Xichun went to arrest Tanchun, Tanchun is also called begging for mercy, and the maids went to protect Tanchun again, a group of people giggling and running around made a fuss in the warming room.

Everyone has forgotten about everyone's etiquette, what is dignified and quiet, and all the sadness and boredom before.

Bao Cong came over with a pile of rice paper in his arms, and was stunned for a moment when he heard the unscrupulous laughter of the girls coming from the warming room.

Thinking about it carefully, it has been a long time since I heard their laughter so happily.

He bent the corners of his lips and didn't rush in. He just stood at the door and opened the door a little to see what they were up to.

Everyone was laughing and joking inside, everyone's hair and clothes were messed up, and they couldn't tell who was who. Bao Cong took a few glances before seeing Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu blushed with a smile, looked at Xichun with moist eyes, and said happily, "How could it be my fault? I say you two, this is a rich man who fell into the pond, splashing water and getting wet It’s me, the people on the shore!”

As soon as these words came out, Tanchun Xichun was ashamed and annoyed. The two rushed forward and trapped Lin Daiyu on the chair to make trouble with her, and said: "Okay, you people on the shore can see our jokes? Tell Brother Baocong later. , are you ashamed or not?"

Lin Daiyu giggled and waved her hands: "Stop talking, stop talking! Please spare me!"

Baocong was afraid that Lin Daiyu would lose her temper from laughing, so he pushed open the door and went in, but the girls stepped back and bumped into him.

The girls were playing around, but they couldn't stand still and rushed forward again. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was about to be crushed, Bao Cong stepped up, pulled Lin Daiyu up, and wrapped her into his arms.

There was a clatter, a bunch of people tugged at each other and fell to the ground, even Tanchun and Xichun were screaming on the ground, only Lin Daiyu stood in Baocong's arms.

She turned her back to Bao Cong, as if she didn't know that she was being protected by him, she only half covered herself with her sleeves, and rushed towards Chun Xichun and the others, laughing, "Look at you, you have evil intentions and want to play tricks on me." Right? Now you're stepping on your own feet—it's up to you!"

Tanchun Xichun glared at Baocong angrily, "Brother Baocong, you are playing tricks!"

Bao Cong could only nod with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I was wrong..."

Obviously he didn't do anything!
