Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

After sending Lin Ruhai and Chongyu away, before Daiyu had time to worry much about her grandmother's family, she heard the maids come over again, saying that Yingchun and other girls came to visit her together.

Baochai also came, and she had already changed into a new dress compared to when they met this morning.

Xiangyun came up to Daiyu first, looked left and right at Daiyu, saw that Daiyu was fine except for a little pale face, so Xiangyun sat next to Daiyu, took a cup of tea and drank a few He opened his mouth and looked at Daiyu with a smile, and then at Baochai.

Daiyu was preoccupied, she blushed when she saw it like this, and said angrily, "What are you looking at!"

Xiang Yun laughed even harder: "Yesterday I watched Sister Bao come over, but I saw Sister Bao go back this morning. What do you think I saw?"

Baochai didn't answer her, and went to Yingchun, who was still asking the maids about Daiyu's condition last night, and listened to something together.

She stayed here last night, and actually knew a lot about these things.

Tanchun and Xichun were also sitting aside and heard what Xiangyun said.

Xichun was young, so she didn't care too much.

There is a smell of medicine in the room, but it is no longer as strong as yesterday, only faint, accompanied by the fragrance of tea.

The two flavors are mixed together, and it is not unpleasant. The slightly bitter breath, on the contrary, makes people calm down, just like the state of mind when practicing Zen and enlightening the Tao.

Xichun took advantage of the faint medicinal fragrance in the air to taste the fragrance of the tea in the cup.

Tanchun, who had doubts before coming here, was keenly aware of something in the reactions of Daiyu and Baochai.

But this feeling is very strange, so strange that she dare not confirm it.

"Sister Lin, I wanted to come to see you yesterday, but I heard that you are in a mess. I was afraid that you would be in the way. I was about to come today, but uncle and Chongyu came again." Tanchun said, looking at you again. Xiang Baochai said with a smile, "Coincidentally, after such a delay, Sister Bao can come with us."

Daiyu didn't know if she had become suspicious again. Hearing Tanchun's words, she felt that Tanchun knew that Baochai stayed with her last night, and now she deliberately said that, to some extent was laughing at herself and Baochai.

It may also be that she used to be narrow-minded in her words, but now she just listens to what others say, and she will have such thoughts.

Baochai, who was asking the maids about Daiyu with Yingchun, just heard the little girl talk about what kind of medicine Daiyu was taking, was also a little bit preoccupied, and fell into the conversation between Daiyu and her sisters.

When Tanchun said this, even Baochai felt a little hot on his face.

She did know that Lin Ruhai and Chongyu were going to see Daiyu, so she just came out from Daiyu, but happened to have not returned to her room, and was still walking in the corridor when she saw Xiangyun who was about to go out.

Don't think that Xiangyun treats her sister well, and will hide anything for her, but Xiangyun was worried about visiting Daiyu this time, and he always knew that Baochai and Daiyu were on good terms. She never thought in the wrong direction, and Baochai couldn't take the initiative to tell Xiangyun something. I'm afraid Xiangyun didn't think about these aspects at first, but when she heard her say that, she was about to think about it.

So Xiangyun invited her to go to Tanchun together and visit Daiyu with her sisters later, and she agreed.

Who knew that when she arrived at Tanchun's room, Xichun asked why Xiangyun was a little later than the agreed time, and Xiangyun said without hesitation that she came back before leaving the door...

Baochai could only secretly rejoice that she had long been accustomed to behave in a dignified and indifferent way, so that when Xichun and Xiangyun asked her about Daiyu, she could calmly follow what she heard from the girls. To tell the news, instead of revealing all the private things between himself and Daiyu.

But there is something in my heart, and there is always something.

Although Yingchun has always said little, she doesn't know everything about the things around her. She just knows, but she doesn't want to pay attention to it. She just waits for the cause and effect of everyone.

Now that Baochai heard what Tanchun said, her expression was unnatural for a moment, but she understood in her heart.

She thanked the little girl who had just talked to herself and Baochai, and sat down with Baochai again.

Xiangyun and Tanchun, who had been seated earlier, had taken up the two seats closest to Daiyu, and now Yingchun and Baochai were sitting farther away from Daiyu.

But they are all still in the same room, no matter how far they are, there is a limit.

Daiyu was also thinking about how to deal with Tanchun's words.

If you don't answer for too long, you may be caught by Tanchun.

She smiled and said: "If the third sister hadn't told me about it, I really didn't know that after sister Bao went back, she would meet Yun'er by such a coincidence. Before you came in, I only heard the girls say, come and see Me, I still think that Sister Bao came to see me last night, and I won’t come today, so that my sisters will come to the door every day when I am sick, so that I can have someone to talk with me, but Sister Bao also came.”

Daiyu said, secretly rejoicing.

If it were not the usual, only Baochai would be the most able to persuade her to take medicine obediently when she was feeling unwell, I am afraid that if I say this today, the sisters will feel more and more the affection between her and Baochai.

She could only sigh inwardly, letting herself be persuaded to get along with Baochai as before in front of other people, but she clearly couldn't do that when there were other sisters around.

Baochai sat a little far away, so she looked at Baochai unconsciously.

Seeing that Yingchun came to sit down with Baochai just now, she wanted to go and be close to Baochai, just to get closer.

Lin Ruhai and Chongyu came over today, and apart from talking to her about the situation in Beijing, they also mentioned to her that if there were any more changes in Beijing, in order to ensure her safety, Mo Zongliang must take her and Xiangling with him. First go to live in the Lin family's mansion that has been almost built in Guidi.

Even Baochai and Aunt Xue might go there together in the name of Xue Pan's wife, Xu Qingyan, who is pregnant.

Daiyu hadn't had time to tell Baochai about it.

Although Aunt Xue is also looking forward to having a grandson as soon as possible, as long as she hears that Xu Qingyan is happy, and it is not convenient to rush back to the capital or Jinling's hometown, she will agree to go to Guidi to take care of her daughter-in-law nearby without much persuasion.

But when the time comes, I still have to persuade Aunt Xue to agree to take Baochai. At this time, it may be necessary to withstand the pressure from the Jia family. After all, Baochai and Baoyu have a marriage contract, but it has not been made public. I hope to keep Baochai in the capital.

In addition, if Xu Qingyan hadn't conceived by such a coincidence, she would definitely have to make up some more reasons for the miscarriage, and Baochai would have to help comfort Aunt Xue at that time. There is a discussion, so that when it really happens, everyone is in a hurry, and there is something wrong with each other's words, which will arouse others' suspicion for no reason.

Tanchun secretly sees the slight abnormality between Baochai and Daiyu, and thinks that Chongyu went to Xiqiong Courtyard to inform Baochai in person last night, but did not tell the other sisters by the way, and did not come until today after finishing talking. Visiting Daiyu, she has many mysteries, and she only hopes to get an answer.

But now that there are so many sisters here, even if she has a lot to say to Daiyu in private, now is definitely not the time to speak out.

It is also because the sisters are all there, but everyone is talking and laughing.

It didn't take long for Tanchun to see that Daiyu was getting tired, so he glanced at Xichun again and smiled suddenly.

She laughed inexplicably, Daiyu raised her eyes and followed her gaze, just in time to see Xichun's head drooping a bit, and couldn't help laughing.

"It's just that I'm not well. It's hard for you to think about me all night, and you want to see me early today. Now I'm fine, but you should go back earlier and have a rest."

Tanchun laughed even more: "It's really Sister Lin. She's a little tired herself, so she only talks about us. But the fourth sister is really tired. I heard from the girls that she slept well in her room last night. Woke up too early in the morning, and didn't dare to go back to sleep."

The sisters each said a few polite words, and Yingchun and Xichun left first.

Xichun turned her head several times, and said several times to see Daiyu again.

Xiangyun couldn't sit still, and was afraid that he would disturb Daiyu's rest if he made a noise here, so he followed back to Xiqiong courtyard.

Only Tanchun was left, but he refused to leave for a long time, smiling at Daiyu and Baochai who made frequent eye contact.

"Sister Lin, Sister Bao, am I preventing you two from talking?"

Daiyu blushed.

Baochai got up, straightened her clothes, and calmly walked to Daiyu and sat down.

It seemed that Tanchun was not in a hurry to leave, she had planned to wait for Tanchun to leave before coming over, but now she couldn't wait.

"I won't hide it from you." With Baochai's indifference in front of her, Daiyu became more at ease, and she became more skillful in finding reasons, "When my father and Chongyu came here today, they told me something, It happens to be related to Sister Bao's family, so I want to talk to Sister Bao in private."

"Chongyu?" Tanchun was slightly taken aback, "What did he say again?"

"I can't tell you this for now." Daiyu's smiling face disappeared suddenly, "Good girl! It's fine if you stay, I haven't questioned you yet, and now I'm going to have you go to trial!"

Tanchun was taken aback by her, and was about to argue, but suddenly remembered that he had written a fake list for Baoyu at Baoyu's begging.

"I……"

Seeing the change in her face, Daiyu knew that she had remembered, but hated that there was no paperweight or other similar gavels at hand, so she simply took a cup and knocked it on the table, regardless of the sound.

"Remember now? I just finished interrogating Sister Bao yesterday, and now it's your turn!"

Tanchun had some doubts about yesterday's strange incident before, but he didn't think too much about it. Now that Daiyu said this, he just regarded it as the whole truth, and laughed quickly: "Sister Lin, I was wrong about this matter. You also know what second elder brother is. Temperament, he came to beg me, and I couldn't help him, I couldn't help him begging, so I hid it from you together with him. And I'm not the only one doing this, several people in our family know about it."

Daiyu blurted out: "Does your aunt know?"

Tanchun was also taken aback. After thinking about it carefully, Fang said: "Maybe you don't know? That day the presents were sent to everyone's room. She took the things and didn't say anything later. If you really let her know that Baoyu is still there." She would have complained to me about this sneaky exchange of gifts, even if she didn’t tell anyone about it. But I haven’t heard her say something like this, maybe because she doesn’t know, so she can’t complain .”

"Is it true?" Daiyu didn't know where this worry came from, but it was vague.

Tanchun said again: "It is she who knows that the old lady and the wife have orders, and no one dares to talk nonsense."

Daiyu nodded slightly, suppressing this worry.

Quite a few people knew what Baoyu had done, and the worry she could vaguely sense might have already been known by someone and had been properly resolved.

Tanchun hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Chongyu didn't seem to have visited you last night? But what happened that made him and uncle have to delay?"
