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

"We took over the silk accounts of the two family-saving villas. If you don't bring back the accounts, how will you know what to do with each family?"

"You have just finished the first batch of inspections, and you have squandered the deposit for the second batch. How can you pay for craftsmen?"

This kind of thing happened just when there was a good sign, Xue Baochai's heartbeat accelerated, and she held her hands hard so as not to lose her composure.

Xue Pan disagreed.

"Our family doesn't lack those few thousand taels of silver, so it's enough to transfer it from other places?"

"I have already ordered the shopkeeper to do it, so you don't have to worry about it. You should take a look at the things I bought for you. They are all good things bought from the official ship. Others don't want them."

Xue Baochai supported the door frame to calm down and breathe.

Looking at Xue Pan's self-satisfied expression, he clearly doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.

In an instant, Lin Yun's words appeared in his mind again.

"Actually, with your ability, you can completely build another family that is more brilliant than the Xue family. It just depends on whether you are willing."

The voice came back and forth, getting louder and louder, making Xue Baochai's heart shake.

No!

You must never do things that forget your ancestors!

What's more, this is his own biological brother, so he can't be abandoned!

Forcibly persuading herself, Xue Baochai closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes to see the dignified and generous Miss Xue family.

"Of course I like the things my brother bought for me, but the account book has to be brought back, so I can rest assured after asking my mother to read it."

"Take a rest today, and bring back the ledger tomorrow, so that I can continue to make a fortune."

Xue Pan is soft but not hard, and he laughed when he heard his sister say this.

"Well, I'll go to rest first."

After sending him out, Xue Baochai sat down dumbfoundedly.

Since he can't leave his brother alone, he can only go another way and use him as a waiter.

After going around and around, Lin Yun still hit the mark.

Xue Baochai was full of bitterness, lowered her head and coughed twice, just touching the cleat on her neck.

A gleam of light rekindled in the disappointed eyes.

She still has a chance!

Jia Baoyu's life is not going well these days.

Sister Lin became so busy that she hardly had a chance to joke around except when she was greeting her.

Sister Sanchun also has a little secret, always muttering, making him seem out of place.

The saddest thing was the death of Qin Zhong. Who knew who was the leader, and brought the matter of Qin Zhong and Smart Nun to Mother Jia, so that he didn't even see each other for the last time.

After all, Jia Zheng was too busy repairing the garden to ask him to study, but he couldn't even find the person who made the rouge together.

Thinking of taking Shi Xiangyun over, there was some kind of joking, but Jia's mother disagreed, saying that it was inconvenient for the family to deal with important matters.

In short, nothing happy!

This day, he quarreled with attackers twice in the house, and came to the garden to hang out.

Mingyan approached quietly from behind.

"Second Master, I found something."

"really?"

Jia Baoyu turned his head quickly, finally showing a smile on his face.

Mingyan looked around, and carefully took out a cloth bundle from behind.

"You have been urging me for a long time. I wanted to save more and bring it in."

"But you are not in good spirits these days, so you have to send these few books here first, and look for others later."

"Be careful not to be seen by others, or my skin will be exposed."

The package was opened, revealing four or five books inside, and the top one was "The Peony Pavilion".

"This is it, good stuff!"

Meizizi quickly rewrapped it, and Jia Baoyu ran away holding it.

Mingyan chased after him.

"Second Master, slow down, don't fall!"

"Be careful when you look at it, don't be seen by others, oh my god!"

The two ran along the path, one behind the other, but they didn't notice two women coming out of the corner door behind them.

Yinger probed her head.

"There seems to be Second Master Bao over there, looking very happy."

"Girl, do we want to go there?"

Xue Baochai shook her fan lightly, lowered her eyes to think for a moment, then turned and walked back.

"It seems that he has acquired something new and interesting, and he is in high spirits. What are you doing to bother him?"

"Go to my aunt first, and see him tomorrow."

"I called you a gift for my aunt, are you ready?"

Yinger laughed.

"It's already ready, you chose it yourself, the second wife will definitely like it."

The next day Xue Baochai came with Yinger, but the room was quiet and Jia Baoyu was nowhere to be seen.

Xiren greeted him and poured tea.

"It's unfortunate that Miss Bao came. The second master left after breakfast, saying he was going to study in the garden."

"If the girl is in a hurry, I'll go find him and come back."

Xue Baochai hurriedly stopped him.

"He rarely reads, so don't call him."

"I don't have anything important at all, just take a look. Don't tell him to worry about it for nothing. I'll come back in two days."

This can be said to be generous and decent, without leaking.

Xi Ren bowed even more in his heart, and respectfully sent her away.

But they didn't know that Xue Baochai turned towards the garden as soon as he left the yard.

It was midsummer, and the garden was in full bloom. Even so, Jia Baoyu's bright red dress could be seen clearly.

"Brother Bao, what are you doing here?"

Across the corridor, Xue Baochai called out first.

When he got closer, he saw Jia Baoyu panicking and hiding the book behind him.

"It's nothing, the weather is fine these days, so I'm reading outside."

"Why did Sister Bao come here? Didn't you go to play with the sisters?"

Xue Baochai didn't seem to notice the tension and concealment on his face, and walked slowly.

"Won't it hurt your eyes to read in this big sun? It's better to be in the study."

"I see that you are serious, and you just want to say hello and leave. Why are you chasing me?"

Jia Baoyu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"I said this because I was afraid of disturbing my sister's visit to the garden. My sister must not misunderstand."

"The inside of the study is lifeless, but I prefer to be outside. A hundred flowers bloom together, which is called a beautiful day."

After subconsciously speaking, Jia Baoyu covered his mouth.

I was fascinated by reading it just now, and accidentally said the words in the book.

Xue Baochai covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled twice.

"Are you here looking for beautiful scenery on a good day, for pleasure?"

Jia Baoyu paused for a while, and then he was overjoyed, as if he had met a bosom friend.

"My sister has seen it too? What a beautiful day, what a beautiful day, whose house is a pleasure to the eye, it really is a good story!"

"I'm afraid that my sister will say about me. If that's the case, how about we watch it together?"

As he spoke, he happily took out the book hidden behind him.

It is "The Peony Pavilion".

Unexpectedly, Xue Baochai refused.

"Although I have seen it, I just look at it. After all, it is not the right way."

"Brother Bao should do the same. You should read more important books so as not to disappoint your aunt and uncle."

Jia Baoyu pouted disapprovingly.

"It doesn't matter whether it's on the right track or not. I just want to be happy watching a good story."

"It's so easy that the master is too busy to take care of me, and my sister said again, I'll look at another place!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around, didn't take the path, turned over directly from the flower bed above, and ran away without a trace.

Yinger is not angry.

"Girl, why do you kindly persuade him to study?"

"The second master wanted to beat someone last time, so let's help the old lady save him!"

Xue Baochai forced a smile.

"Don't keep talking, don't talk behind your back!"

She can reprimand Yinger, but she can't change her heart.

Such a son who doesn't like reading, if he doesn't have the blessing of his ancestors and the noble concubine in the palace, is he really better than ordinary people?

If it wasn't for this being the best choice she could grasp, she really didn't want to waste it.

With a sigh, I went back to Lixiangyuan.

The next day, rumors of a happy marriage came out again from nowhere, and it was even more lively than last time.

Ziling passed by and listened to it, and returned to the Jiangyun Pavilion as if nothing had happened.

"The two girls are overjoyed, the master will be able to enter Beijing this year!"

"really?"

Lin Daiyu stood up suddenly, her eyes were red with joy.

"I haven't seen him for several years, and I can finally see my father, and I don't know how he is."

"It's because of my unfilial piety as a daughter that I can't serve him by his side."

Lin Yun laughed at her.

"You are in a hurry when you don't say anything, and it's not too late to cry after Zi Ling finishes speaking."

Lin Daiyu quickly wiped her eyes, not forgetting to stare at her.

Zi Ling continued.

"The boy who delivered the letter said that it's probably already settled, just waiting for the transfer order, because there is no decree, so it's hard to say it clearly, so I just quietly told the two girls to make you feel at ease."

"This is a letter, please read it, two girls."

Opening the envelope, there were some greetings and caring words on it, nothing else was involved, the two sisters read it and put it away.

Lin Yun said.

"The news is uncertain, so let's not talk about it. Besides, the family is busy building a family-saving villa, so don't cause trouble."

"Just as usual."

Lin Daiyu was not afraid of being seen in the house, and she was overjoyed.

"I don't know whether to stay in the capital or continue to work in the local area this time. How long can we get along with each other? By the way, has the old house been cleaned?"

"It's good to go back to live for a few days."

Lin Yun couldn't help but laugh at this look of caring and chaotic but couldn't help yearning.

"Waiting for you to arrange the day lily is cold, I sent someone back to clean it when I entered the capital."

"In the past two years, the servants we have been working outside, as well as the messengers who deliver letters back and forth, have all rested in the old house."

Lin Daiyu was relieved now, with a slight smile on her lips, she thought about it for a while.

Jia's mansion was still busy building the Grand View Garden, and no one noticed the slight changes in the Jiangyun Pavilion.

Until early August, two large ships came from Yangzhou.

Wang Xifeng was called away suddenly, and came to Rongqing hall in a hurry.

"Old Ancestor, Uncle Lin sent someone here, saying that he will be transferred back to the capital next month, and he will send someone to resettle him first!"

The joking people were suddenly startled and all looked over.

Mother Jia was even more startled and sat up straight.

"When did it happen? Who did you send back?"

Wang Xifeng's eyes lit up.

"The boat has just docked, and I have really learned a lot about the things of the two big ships."

"There is a boy named Lin An in the outer courtyard. He is said to be the son of the old butler of the Lin family. He is directing the moving of things."

"The two nuns in the inner courtyard are waiting outside to meet the ancestor and the two girls."

Mother Jia was taken aback, and when she turned around, she saw Lin Yun, Lin Daiyu, both sisters were pleasantly surprised, and she was relieved.

"Call them in."

"There are so many things, if we had said earlier that we would be able to help, why would we be in such a hurry."

Wang Xifeng automatically ignored the latter sentence and went out to spread the word.

When the two nuns bowed down in front, Mother Jia's eyes lit up.

"Mother Wang?"

The nanny on the left raised her head with a look of excitement.

"The old lady still remembers the servant, please greet the old lady!"

Mother Jia came down and helped her up, her eyes were red.

Everyone around was full of confusion, only Mrs. Wang, looking at the seemingly familiar face in front of her, remembered something from a long time ago.

"Yu'er, come quickly, this is your mother's person, and I sent her to serve you back then."

Everyone's ladies are married, and the maids and mothers with them are at least a dozen. Lin Daiyu was only five or six years old when she came to the capital, how could she remember all of them?

Suddenly hearing that this is someone who served his mother, he quickly stood up to greet her.

"It turned out to be Mother Wang, please accept my worship."

Nanny Wang bowed and stepped back.

"I dare not, it is my blessing to be able to serve my wife and miss."

The three faced each other, and it took a long time to remember that there was another nun.

"Old slave Mrs. Li, please be safe, old lady."

Well-behaved, not a single extra word. ?
