Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

The two looked at each other, completely speechless.

Baochai had no interest in going to Gui, and she didn't even want to leave the capital too far. Even if she wanted to leave, she only wanted to go back to her hometown in Jinling.

But hearing what Daiyu said, she suddenly felt that it was not unacceptable to go to Guidi.

"This matter is of great importance. It is only arranged by my father and Chongyu in private. Under the guise of letting Brother Xue and the others go there, and let some people from the commercial firm go into business, they are secretly preparing." Daiyu continued to explain, "It's just that they both With such a plan, I am afraid that I will go there soon. I have always been afraid of the cold, but I am not afraid of the heat. The weather in Guidi is hotter, and it may also suit my body."

Baochai was silent for a long time, then Fang whispered, "Is that so? That's fine."

Daiyu gritted her teeth, and said again: "I heard Chongyu say two days ago that Wei Ruolan also wants to invite a matchmaker to your house."

This is what really drove Daiyu to find Baochai before going to Rongguo Mansion to celebrate Baoyu's death.

Daiyu also knew that those who were interested in Baochai before were all playboys, and even though Aunt Xue was worried that Baochai was getting older, it was unlikely that she would be willing to marry those people, so Baochai should have looked down on them.

Wei Ruolan is a really capable and handsome man.

Daiyu has never met Wei Ruolan, but she often hears the name from Chongyu, and knows how Wei Ruolan mediates between these forces in Beijing.

Once Chongyu talked to her about Wei Ruolan in front of her father, and her father even lamented that if Wei Ruolan hadn't been much older than her, his father would have even intended to make Wei Ruolan his son-in-law.

And two days ago, what Chongyu had inadvertently mentioned to Daiyu was that it was Wei Ruolan who had heard that Baochai was exceptionally talented, virtuous and virtuous, and had a clean family background, so there was no need to worry about getting involved with the prince's faction or even the Nan'an county king's faction Too deep for a good match.Besides, Wei Ruolan made an early marriage agreement, so she didn't have to be like Feng Ziying, who was on the prince's side, but matched with a daughter-in-law from the third prince's side, which made the two families embarrassed.

It was when Daiyu heard about this that she became more and more interested in Baochai's marriage. She also learned that Wei Ruolan might have heard about it from Baoyu. She was afraid that Baoyu would take the opportunity to test Baoyu when she went to Rongfu this time. Baochai's mind, so I have to ask Baochai's opinion earlier.

"Wei Ruolan?" Baochai was startled, "How could he?"

For a family like the Wei family, if her father is still alive, maybe she can use the help of her relatives to see if she can get it, but how can the current Xue family have the qualifications?

"Chongyu said so, but I don't know the details." Daiyu shook her head, let go of Baochai's waist, picked up the cup, took a few sips, and calmed down a bit.

Baochai was stunned by the news for a while, and finally Fang sighed: "He wants to ask me, but I am not very willing. No matter how good he is, I am not familiar with him, and the children of such aristocratic families have good rules. Marrying in the past will probably not lead a good life. It’s better to choose a small family, so that you can live comfortably. But if his family directly invites someone to tell my mother, my mother will probably be happy. "

Baochai thought of the difference between Mrs. Xing, Youshi, and Qin Keqing in Jia's family, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng.

The former have no background, especially Mrs. Xing and Youshi, who are both surnames. In fact, they don't have much right to speak at home. As big wives, their lives are quite aggrieved.Although Qin Keqing was better, it was Jia Zhen's connivance.It really depends on what people mean, before Qin Keqing's behavior changed, they all praised Qin Keqing for being kind and kind, and there were many out-of-the-ordinary behaviors.Now I don't dare to go too far, but I started to scold Qin Keqing behind my back.

If Mrs. Wang hadn't had Wang Xifeng in charge everywhere, not to mention that the whole family was difficult to take care of, even if she really put in a lot of effort to discipline her servants, most likely she would only be infamous.Both Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang had their backs to the Wang family, so they were stricter with the servants, and they did some things out of line, and no one dared to say anything about them.

Baochai knew her own identity, if she married into Jia's family, she would have relatives to take care of her, so she wouldn't have to worry about these things, she could even support each other so that she could gain power in the family, but marrying into another family that has nothing to do with Xue's family?She can't ask for anything.

Daiyu heard what Baochai said, and she was even more afraid that Wei's family would really find a matchmaker to go to Xue's house, and persuaded Aunt Xue first, and the matter was a foregone conclusion. Baochai and Wei Ruolan were not too young, and neither party had anything to postpone the wedding. The reason is that the wedding should be ready soon after the engagement, but she can only watch Baochai get married.

But I heard Baochai say: "When I go home some other day, I will tell my mother that it is enough for me to let my brother keep an eye on me in Guidi. My brother went there, and I don’t want to be too far away from my mother, it’s better to be closer to each other. My mother married far away at the beginning, and she didn’t see her sisters for many years. After meeting with my aunt in the capital, she often talked to me in private. It’s not that sisters get married and live separately, so how can they not have the chance to meet for many years.”

Baochai's words were all about her own family, but Daiyu couldn't help laughing.

How could she not understand?

Before she said that she would also go to Guidi in the future, how could Baochai have made it so clear that she did not want to stay in the capital for a long time!

No matter how Ren Baochai concealed it, Daiyu could still hear the intention of thinking for her own sake.

Unconsciously, she threw herself into Baochai's arms again, hugging Baochai tightly and refusing to let go.

Another trace of panic gradually grew in her heart.

She was only afraid that after she got used to it, it would be more difficult to face the reality of Baochai getting married and leaving in the future.

Baochai pushed Daiyu with a smile and said, "Get up! How grown up are you? Why do you always stick to people like a child?"

Daiyu nestled in her arms and muttered, "I don't care."

Baochai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she could only let her continue to hug her tightly.

But Daiyu didn't hug her for too long, because she was afraid that Baochai would inadvertently discover her feelings, which would make Baochai alienate her.

She raised her hand, smoothed her slightly messy hair, got up and said: "It's late at night, sister should go to bed earlier, I should go back."

As far as she was concerned, there were already a lot of temptations tonight, and if she continued to talk about it, it would be even more difficult for her to control herself.

Maybe she can hide it and not say the most sincere words in her heart, but with Baochai's intelligence and her long-standing acquaintance, is it impossible to guess her true intentions from her few words?

Although she only gradually realized her feelings for Baochai after reading miscellaneous books, Baochai also said frankly in front of her that she had read many books that she shouldn't have read when she was young, and Daiyu was afraid that she would be caught by her. Baochai found that only by pretending to be calm, in fact, he almost fled from Baochai's room.

Baochai escorted her out of her room, staring at her back as she disappeared, and returned to her room. While preparing to go to bed, she asked Ying'er, "Do you think that Shao'er is a little weird today?" Woolen cloth?"

Ying'er has always been a little stubborn, but she is more loyal, she only needs to be told by her master, and she doesn't ask too many questions, she just does things for her master.I usually hear what the masters say, but I never publicize it.

Hearing Baochai's question now, she asked blankly, "Is Miss Lin abnormal? I think she is making out with girls as usual?"

Baochai laughed dumbly and said, "I forgot, so it's useless to ask you. Besides, the frowning girl started to be abnormal some time ago, but today she behaved differently. You girl, you are just looking for other people to play with on weekdays. Where do you pay attention to these things?"

When Baochai said this, Ying'er felt embarrassed, and said with a blushing face, "Young girls know how to laugh at people, but they only know how to play! Even if I have time to play, there are not many girls and women in the Lin family. People only care about playing with me. Besides, if I am playing all the time, who is waiting for the girl!"

Baochai laughed and said, "Have you learned how to argue with arguments? Come on! Let's rest earlier."

Ying'er grunted twice, and hurriedly went up to wait for Baochai to sleep, and then lay down.

It was also that night, Wei Ruolan was drinking with Chongyu.

Of course, drinking is an excuse, it's just for the two of them to get together and talk about something serious.

When Wei Ruolan invited Chongyu, he had signaled Chongyu with a secret signal. He had just received news of Feng Ziying who had left the capital.

For this reason, when he saw Wei Ruolan and saw that there was no one else in the room except the prepared banquet, Chongyu asked anxiously, "How is the situation over there?"

The place Feng Ziying was going to was close to the northern frontier, and the king of Nan'an County was named Nan. He also participated in the pacification of the northern border and fought against some alien races in the north. Maybe he had some contacts later.

Feng Ziying's appointment this time also has something to do with Nan'an County King.

If the king of Nan'an County is really ambitious and wants to collude with the foreign races in the north and quietly bring them into Beijing, he will not be able to avoid Beiluo City, which is near the place Feng Ziying is guarding.

It is impossible to easily hide Feng Ziying's news about the alien race.The difference is whether Feng Ziying wants to curry favor with the King of Nan'an County and help hide it from the capital for the sake of his future, or is he willing to vote for the third prince after knowing that the matter is of great importance.

If it is the latter, the future marriage between Feng Ziying and Shi Xiangyun will avoid a lot of embarrassment for the two families.

By marrying the Feng family, the historian has greatly reduced the contact with the Lin family in recent days except that Xiangyun went to school in the Lin family as usual. On the surface, it seems that it is only hindered by the affection of relatives and the promise of going to school. Fang never took Xiangyun home.

In fact, Xiangyun frequently delivered letters for the two families when going back and forth.Xiangyun didn't know much about it herself, only that her family often took her back home.

Historians have gradually turned into a dark game in the hands of the third prince. Even if they do not gain the full trust of the princelings, they are not like the Wei family and the other three princelings who are increasingly on the bright side, and are always guarded by the princelings.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the truth will be revealed one day.If the Feng family cannot be brought together to the side of the third prince before then, the two families will only be more embarrassed in the future.

In the past, Chongyu and others did not dare to have too many illusions about this, but knowing the ambition of the king of Nan'an County and the credulity of the crown prince, the possibility of this matter is greatly increased.

The Feng family supports the crown prince, and they only want to serve the royal family, not for the king of Nan'an County.

Facing Shang Chongyu's anxiety, Wei Ruolan smiled faintly, and stretched out her hand to signal Chongyu to sit down.

He sat down at the main seat first, and took a sip from his wine glass.

Chongyu raised his brows, and after being surprised, he understood a little, so he sat down beside him, and said softly, "Are you blaming me for saying that you are interested in my elder sister Bao?"

Wei Ruolan drank a small glass of wine slowly, put down the glass, snorted, and said, "If Baoyu hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have known you said that."

"I also told Brother Bao Er that I don't know if it's true or not, so he must not spread it to the outside world. There is no other place in Beijing to spread the news. I think Brother Bao Er did not fool me in this regard. You You don’t have to worry about the news getting out and affecting your future marriage.”

Wei Ruolan glared at Chongyu, and said fiercely: "Is it as simple as affecting my marriage?"

"Otherwise? Is there any trouble?" Chongyu snorted softly, "I'm still worried that if it gets publicized, it will affect Sister Bao's reputation. You are a man, so you can't be so stingy, right? The courage of the daughter's family can't compare?"

When Wei Ruolan heard this, she really felt better, but she felt something was wrong, and asked again: "Miss Xue knows about this?"

"do not know."

Wei Ruolan didn't even have the strength to get angry this time.

Chongyu had already got up, bowed to him solemnly and said: "Brother Wei, I admit that I used you a little bit in this matter, but I really need to use this to test some things, and the only way to do things in your name is to be the greatest." The degree to achieve the goal. Because I saw that this matter has little effect on you, and I acted in a hurry that day, I didn't explain it to you first."
