Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Daiyu came to Rongguo Mansion earlier than everyone in the Jia family thought.

After all, Chongyu and others have to be busy, and Daiyu herself is bored at home, so she might as well be with her sisters.As for the preparations to be made by the Lin family for the Dragon Boat Festival, since the Lin family is small, there are not many things to do, and Daiyu has gained a lot of experience in managing the family recently, and the servants can trust her, so she will order things early, so there is no need to worry about it .

After receiving the Dragon Boat Festival gift from Yuanchun from Jiamu, Daiyu couldn't help but read the list twice.

If the list hadn't been written clearly, she couldn't believe that this was her share, it was too rich.

Asked the girl again, knowing other people's etiquette, Daiyu was full of doubts.

She has never met Yuan Chunsu, but she knows that there is such a big sister, and Yuan Chun also knows that there is an aunt and cousin like her, how can she be so special to her?

However, only she and Baochai are different from other girls, and Xiangyun's is no different from Yingchun sisters. Daiyu can't take this as Yuanchun's politeness to relatives and sisters.

She took the list and looked over it over and over again, but her heart gradually grew joyful.

Hers is the same as Baochai's.

Because she had just arrived from home, even if the place where she lived had already been cleaned up by the servants of Jia's family, she still had to ask the girl to put away her luggage, so she didn't know that Baochai was in Wang Xifeng's room at the moment.

Wang Xifeng is also always a joker, but Baochai is more stable and dignified, and Wang Xifeng is slightly older than Baochai, and she has never read and read. Unlike other sisters, she can listen to Baochai's reasoning and make some suggestions, so the two did not have a relationship. There are so many gossips to talk about, only a few more words if there is something serious.

However, what the two of them have to say these days is indeed serious.

Wang Xifeng had made up her mind to prepare and tidy up her daughter's dowry as soon as possible, so no matter what happens in the future, her share will not be missed.

Because there are many things involved, it is difficult for Wang Xifeng to deal with it alone.Her closest relatives are not in the capital, and the two families of Wang's family in Beijing are not her closest relatives.

What she wants to do now is obviously not in line with Mrs. Wang's wishes.And she usually uses the power of the Jia family to do things, and if there is any inconvenience, she also uses the power of the Wang family.After setting aside these two powers, no matter how powerful she is, she is not someone who has real power of her own, and cannot do much.

However, she is now secretly preparing a dowry for her daughter and finding a way out for herself, so these two families should not know.

Although Qin Keqing had a heart-to-heart relationship with her, she didn't shy away from Qin Keqing, but Qin Keqing's situation was worse than hers, and he couldn't help her much, so she could only seek help from outside.

The first person Wang Xifeng thought of was actually Chongyu. She only hated that Chongyu was busy with things, and many men in the Jia family now valued Chongyu very much.

Xue Biao can certainly help, but there is still a huge business that needs to be taken care of.

In the end, Wang Xifeng could only transfer to Baochai.

Also, Baochai had already started to help her mother with the housework, and she was very familiar with these things. Wang Xifeng had already taken care of many things herself, and there was only one person who could take care of her for her. Baochai had stayed at the Lin family for a long time, and occasionally She also heard some things, so she also felt that it was necessary for Wang Xifeng to plan for a rainy day, and these things were within her ability, so she agreed.

However, since Yuanchun bestowed a meaningful Dragon Boat Festival, and was called by Mrs. Wang privately to hear the imperial concubine's decree, it is now rare for Baochai to think about taking care of these matters for Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng also knew that she was Mrs. Wang's daughter after all, and she was very fond of Jia's mother, so she couldn't hide the matter of Baochai and Baoyu from her.

Wang Xifeng invited Baochai here today, not because of her own business, but to explain to Baochai more about the many interests of the Jia family.

After all, Mrs. Wang has fewer directors in person, and most of the daily affairs are only handed over to Wang Xifeng, and her understanding of some situations in the family has long lagged behind.

What's more, Mrs. Wang used to be a little soft-hearted, easy to believe in other people's words, and a little stubborn, not very clear about many twists and turns. What Mrs. Wang thinks may be very different from the facts.

For this reason, Wang Xifeng planned to take advantage of Baochai's free time to tell Baochai more about these things first, so that Baochai would not suffer in the future.

Although Baochai was listening, she was not in a high mood.

Wang Xifeng talked for a while, saw her nodding from time to time, but didn't speak much, hurriedly pushed her and said with a smile: "What are you thinking? Do you think our Baoyu is not suitable? I have heard some sayings about golden jade and good marriage in the mansion before." , although no one dared to gossip anymore, but there is some truth in the end.”

Baochai blushed at what she said, both ashamed and a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng also knew that she had joked a bit too much, so she hurriedly said: "This marriage is now decided by the empress, there must be a reason for the empress. The empress said so, let's listen. My aunt also likes you, and I will definitely not in the future. Made you feel wronged."

Baochai forced a smile and said, "Sister Feng, why don't I know what you said? It's just me..."

She was just about to say that she had made an agreement with Daiyu that Daiyu would go to Guidi in the future, and she would ask her brother Xue Pan to help find a suitable family there, but then she remembered that the matter Daiyu mentioned to herself was considered a secret of the Lin family. It's not appropriate to tell others, so I can only stop quickly and sigh lightly.

For some reason, when the matter was about Daiyu, she was even more cautious. She often felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to change it.

Thinking of her being in her own family, she is also considered a decisive person, persuading her mother to make various decisions, seeing her mother is often indecisive, she still thinks her mother is so bad, never thought that she would fall into such a situation for just one person?

But she still can't figure out why.

If she hadn't been looking for a way out for Xue's family, she always felt that Daiyu and the Lin family were excellent choices. She might have chosen to stay away from Daiyu as early as the initial stage of these strange feelings!

After her father died, she has always chosen the safest way to live.Giving up all the naughtiness in the past, and being the impeccable daughter of the boudoir in the eyes of others, is what she can predict.Even if accidents may happen, it is not easy to go wrong, and it is easy to get everything back on track in time.

Xue Pan was the only one she could not predict in the past.

I don't know when, and Daiyu came in again.

But Daiyu's inability to predict is not like Xue Pan's, the serious consequences that may be caused by reckless behavior cannot be predicted, but the emotional fluctuations that she may have due to Daiyu cannot be predicted.

Be happy for others, and be sad for others.

Seeing that Baochai was in trouble, Wang Xifeng didn't force Baochai to continue, but took her hand and sighed: "Bao girl, don't think too much, now the master is not in a hurry about Baoyu's marriage, he must first be concerned about Baoyu's fame. The empress must have known about it, so she quietly sent the decree without making it public. Since the matter between the two of you has to be left to the future before it can be considered as a real result, who can tell what will happen during this period of time? "

Wang Xifeng still remembered that Ping'er told her back then that there was a girl in her room who secretly wanted to harm her with nightmare techniques!And the mastermind behind the scenes was most likely the King of Nan'an County, which shocked her even more.

Wang Xifeng was not very sensitive to these court turmoil, and even thought that now Yuanchun is the noble concubine in the palace, the Jia family is in the limelight, and the prince of the Wang family is rising every step of the way. From the beginning, there are countless aristocratic families who have been in close contact with the Jia family. She has always felt that even if the Jia family has some financial difficulties, it must be like the day when she talked about the various grand occasions with Zhao Mama. Just spend it temporarily, and I will come back sooner or later.

But the nightmare technique is comparable to ice water.Chongyu secretly revealed to her that Jia Lian also deliberately left her to do some things, which made her hate and fear even more.

Wang Xifeng's hope for the future has been shrinking.

Listening to Wang Xifeng's words, Baochai nodded in response, but still couldn't hide her worry.

But a girl outside the door smiled and said, "Miss Lin is here!"

Baochai was startled, Fang looked up and saw Daiyu coming in with a smile.

"Coincidentally! I'm going to talk to Sister Feng, is Sister Bao here?"

In a trance, Baochai seemed to see Daiyu in a cloak coming in from Lixiangyuan, and she was with Baoyu, who begged for her Lengxiang Wan to taste...

Suddenly, two cheeks were pinched separately.

Daiyu's rare face with a smile is close at hand.

Seeing Baochai come back to her senses, Daiyufang let go, turned to Xifeng with a smile and asked, "Why is Sister Bao in a daze? She doesn't even answer me when I come in, and I don't even know when I sat down." .”

Knowing that Baoyu had exchanged the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony with Daiyu, Daiyu now does not know about the Yuanchun decree, and neither Wang Xifeng nor Baochai mentioned these things again.

Wang Xifeng is still used to smoothing things over, pointing to the newly sent account book, she said with a smile: "Before you came, I asked Bao girl if she could clear up these accounts without using an abacus. Your head is counting, so I ignored you."

Baochai also followed suit and said, "Isn't it? I've almost figured out the result, but the coincidence girl came, so I don't know where I am."

Daiyu became interested and hurried to look at the account book: "Where are those numbers? How do you calculate them? Let me see?"

When she was living in the Rongguo Mansion, Wang Xifeng also asked her to help with some items in the account books, and since Wang Xifeng also let Baochai look at it, Daiyu didn't have too many taboos.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly hid the ledger and pushed Daiyu away.

"It's rare for you to come, and these things are not urgent, but you don't want to bother you with them. Didn't you say that you can only come on Baoyu's birthday? Why is it earlier now?"

When she said this, Daiyu got excited, and said angrily to Xifeng: "I don't blame you? The third girl and the others went home early, and it's just that girl Yun was called back by her aunt, but you also invited sister Bao Come on, I'm alone at home, it's very boring, why don't I come to play with you?"

As she said that, Daiyu glanced at Baochai again, thinking about the same etiquette again, her face felt a little hot.

Wang Xifeng didn't know what was on her mind, so she just made fun of her and said, "That's great! I'll know in the future, what will happen if you don't come!"
