[Red Mansion] Today is also not a person in Jia's house

Ping'er is serving Wang Xifeng with dim sum.

"It's just winning the hearts of a few girls, what's the use?"

"My ladies and gentlemen, don't like the Jiangyun Pavilion."

Wang Xifeng sneered while drinking herbal tea.

"They don't count on them in the Jiangyun Pavilion, and they still want to manipulate them like me?"

"If we hadn't been cautious, we would have been caught many times, and the eldest sister was from the Lin family and wouldn't be afraid of them. I would still be envious."

Getting angry when she said this, Wang Xifeng put down the tea bowl heavily.

Ping'er also sighed.

"There are old ancestors and two wives on the top, and there are so many decent women on the bottom, only grandma works hard."

"By the way, Zhou Rui's family came over with a pair of cards in the morning. I told her grandma was not here and told her to come back in the evening."

"There is also Wang Shanbao's family next to the eldest wife. They also said that there is something wrong. I didn't ask, and asked her to come over later."

Just said, there are so many things.

Wang Xifeng sighed with emotion, and quickly pulled himself together and ate a few pieces of snacks in a hurry.

Naturally, the bustle of the Jiangyun Pavilion was not hidden from Jia's mother.

After lunch, Mother Jia called Sanchun, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu over, and couldn't help but be happy to see them eating and having fun.

"I'm most at ease when you sisters are joking around."

"Seeing that Yu'er has grown taller, come here and let me have a look."

Lin Daiyu came over with a smile, complaining half-truth and half-false.

"It doesn't matter if you don't think too high, it's a lot heavier."

"The last time the doctor came, my sister followed the doctor's advice and stared at me for three or four meals a day, afraid of growing sideways."

Jia Baoyu also moved forward.

"The craftsmanship in the small kitchen is really good. I ate half of the stewed pigeon alone."

"I don't know where Sister Lin hired a cook, we should hire one too."

Tanchun laughed at him.

"You still think about it, the ancestors quickly talk about him!"

"If Big Sister Lin didn't stop him, he would have to eat the whole pigeon, and he wouldn't be afraid of indigestion."

Mother Jia pretended to be panicked.

"That's not okay, you can't eat too much if it's delicious."

"I dare not ask you to go in the future."

What he said was half true and half false, Jia Baoyu hurriedly explained.

"Suckling pigeons are only so big, it's okay to eat them all."

"Big Sister Lin was afraid that I would get bored and wouldn't give me more food, so my ancestors also came to stop me, and the family didn't even give me any food."

After speaking, he sat aside angrily, deliberately keeping away from the sisters.

Several people looked at each other and burst out laughing. Mother Jia stretched out her hand to hit him.

"A bowl of pigeons is worth losing your temper, so I'll ask you to eat it tonight!"

"What a little bastard, he can only play tricks on my old lady!"

Just now Jia Baoyu came over and acted like a baby, which made the sisters tease for a while.

Rongqingtang was joking and joking, but Xue Baochai was called over by Mrs. Wang.

"Aunt, are you looking for me?"

After entering the house, Xue Baochai saluted respectfully and said hello, and glanced around calmly.

Seeing that there is no one else, I should be more vigilant in my heart.

Mrs. Wang smiled and helped her up.

"Good boy, I'll call you here today, don't hate me."

Xue Baochai hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"It turns out that I, a junior, should come to pay my respects to my aunt."

"I've been free for the past two days, and I'm about to come here, so I let my aunt go first."

The two exchanged some polite words, sat down and drank tea again, and it took a while to finish their gossip.

"Brother Bao, you don't like reading these past two days. Let me see, you are the only one who can persuade you in Manfu."

"Always persuade him not to run around, but to study at ease."

Mrs. Wang speaks earnestly and sincerely, her eyes are full of kindness.

What he said couldn't be more clear, even Xue Baochai, who was as steady as Xue Baochai, couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.

"Brother Bao is the most filial, but younger."

"I saw that he has worked hard recently, and he even persuaded him a few words yesterday, and he seems to have listened."

Madam Wang was satisfied and took Xue Baochai's hand.

"This girl in the yard, I like you the most."

"Baoyu has you persuading me, so I can rest assured."

Xue Baochai lowered her head slightly, blushing.

It's just that she has more thoughts than other girls, after all, she is still a girl in her teens, when she hears such hints, her heart beats wildly.

When I went back to Lixiangyuan and talked to my mother, I was so happy that Aunt Xue recited Buddhism.

"My son, if you can marry into the Rongguo Mansion, I will feel at ease."

"Since your father left, your brother has been useless, and our family is all pointing at you."

Xue Baochai paused with a smile, showing bitterness.

"I know my mother is in a difficult situation, but my mother should also persuade my brother."

"The family business always depends on him."

As soon as Xue Pan was mentioned, the joy of getting the hint from Mrs. Wang dissipated instantly.

Aunt Xue burst into tears.

"Why don't I know, but your brother is an asshole, how can I persuade you?"

"I wanted to buy another girl the day before yesterday, but Xiangling and I somehow stopped me."

"A shop was closed last month, and he didn't listen to me."

Every time he was mentioned, there was always nothing good, Xue Baochai didn't feel the slightest joy, her immature face was frowning tightly.

"It's impossible to expect my brother to make progress, just don't let him get into trouble."

"We are guests in Rongguo Mansion, so we need to be careful in everything."

The mother and daughter cried with emotion before discussing it carefully.

As the weather gets cooler, the courtyards begin to arrange more clothes, and the same is true for the Jiangyun Pavilion.

It's just that among the things Yangzhou sent this month, apart from Lin Yun's birthday present, there was an extra box.

Lin Daiyu looked at everything and couldn't help being curious.

"My sister's birthday at the beginning of Dongdong, why did you send me a gift in October?"

"What's the biggest box without a key?"

For safety, everything must be locked on the road, but it is the first time that I can't find the key to open the box when I get home.

After searching the whole room, the girls were sweating anxiously.

Lin Daiyu waited for a while.

"Forget it, break it open."

Lin Yun just arranged for his servants to come in when he heard this sentence.

"What broke?"

Lin Daiyu explained casually.

"It's just a box. I can't find the key somehow."

The servants of the Lin family are not the servants of the Jia family, how could there be such a sloppy thing?

Lin Yun didn't believe it, stepped forward to take a look, and laughed.

"It turned out to be this."

"I have the key, here I am."

Saying that, he took out the golden lock from his neck.

Then he undid the buckle on the side of the golden lock, and pulled out a key from it.

Having never seen such a design before, Lin Daiyu stared straight at it.

"What kind of cleverness is this?"

"I haven't heard my sister say that she hides it so deeply."

Lin Yun bent down, inserted the key into the box and locked it, and opened it easily.

"It's not a clever trick, it's just a childhood toy."

Not wanting to say more, Lin Yun wanted to change the topic, but unexpectedly saw the things in the box, and didn't come up in one breath.

Lin Daiyu poked her head.

"Pfft, no wonder you don't ask others to have keys. They are all good things."

"Look at this paper kite, why do you see there are two poems on it?"

"There are also pearl hairpins, so delicate, they don't look like outside."

The more you look, there are cosmetics, powder mirrors and other things underneath, all of which are exquisite, and they are not of the same type. Obviously, they are not prepared for a while, but accumulated.

Seeing something wrong, Zi Ling sent the little girls out early.

Lin Daiyu flipped through several of them one after another, felt suspicious, and sat down on the chair with a smile.

"Hey, oh, seeing my sister's cold face and heart, there is such a reason."

"Which kid is it? Come and listen, if it's not good, I won't follow!"

Lin Yun closed the box expressionlessly.

"It's all nonsense."

"If you dare to tease me again, watch your mouth!"

After getting along for a long time, Lin Daiyu was no longer afraid of her, so she stepped forward with a smile and became more anxious.

"You're still shy."

"I know, my sister is 12 years old after her birthday, and she can discuss marriage. This is because I am afraid that my sister will forget him."

Lin Yun paused, his mind was complicated.

I almost forgot, the ancients discussed marriage early.

Ordinary families, in order to show their importance to girls, are most common at the age of twelve or thirteen, and it takes three years and six rituals to go on for a few years, and they get married after they are young.

In the past, it was just to watch the fun, but now it's on me.

"This is from my childhood sweetheart, the young master of the Cao family."

"In the past, he did say that he would marry me when he grew up, and he also came to propose marriage, but was kicked out by his father."

Lin Daiyu blinked curiously.

"and after?"

"He came to propose marriage by himself?"

Thinking of the scene where Cao Tongxuan was being chased and beaten by Cheng Xiangjin, Lin Yun laughed out loud.

"When we first met at the age of six, he said he was going to get married, and was chased by his two elder brothers in the yard."

"Later, when he got older, he always brought gifts to the door, and he would not leave even if his father drove him away."

"It's just that when I went back to Lin's house, I exchanged fewer letters with each other. I didn't expect him to save so many things."

Looking at the big box, it would be a lie to say that I was not moved at all.

The young master of the water gang is synonymous with money in this era of water transportation, and there are countless people around him.

However, he only thought about one, and sent Cao An to the door.

After all this, Lin Yun sighed with emotion, and turned his head to look at Lin Daiyu, only to see that her eyes were red.

"You're talking about me, what are you doing?"

"Could it be possible to take a fancy to the things in the box? Take whichever you like."

Lin Daiyu hurriedly wiped her eyes and stared at her.

"You come to give me what others give you, which makes me appear to be a money addict."

"I'm just moved in my heart. Although the story in the story book is good, it is false after all, but it is true in front of me."

"To get someone to treat each other sincerely, this life is worth it."

Although the words were talking about Lin Yun, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but think of herself.

When I was with Baoyu when I was young, everyone made jokes about the two of them, but now that I'm getting older, there are fewer people who say this.

Feelings of sadness are stagnant in my heart, and I am about to cry.

"What one person, I have my father, my father, my two elder brothers and you, aren't they all sincere?"

"Don't say I don't want to marry yet, even if I do, wouldn't it be sincere to have a child?"

"Can you really live for a man?"

The corner of Lin Yun's mouth twitched, and he spoke casually and reasonably, but suppressed Lin Daiyu's tears.

These words are shocking, but they make sense when you think about it carefully.

I don't mention the far ones, just talk about my sister-in-law Li Wan.

Her man is dead, so is she going to die too?

There is no such reason under heaven.

Lin Daiyu felt a strange sense of identity in her heart.

"What my sister said is that I have a father and a sister, even if I get married, it doesn't mean that my blood is broken."

"Why bother with this?"

"When the letter was sent back, I made a cloak for my father."

The two of them checked the warehouse and came out to pack up the things for Lin Ruhai without mentioning it.

The winter moon is approaching, and the weather is getting colder and colder, but at this time, the Marquis of Ningguo sent an invitation to appreciate plum blossoms.

Lin Yun took the newly acquired Luban lock and handed it to Lin Daiyu without unlocking it after fiddling for a while.

"It's good to go out for a walk."

"I practice sword every day, but you don't move much."

"When you get back to Ping'er, tell us that we will go there soon."
