[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Although the marriage between Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan gave Xue Baochai some comfort, her own marriage still gave her a big blow.Although Xue Baochai was wary of plotting ever since Shi Xiangyun ruined her reputation, it has been more than a year since the edict of Jia Yan being made the new queen was issued!

Moreover, since June, when the royal family formally offered prizes to Jia's family, Jia's mother has been very kind to Xing Xiuyan, so kind that she has surpassed Lin Daiyu and even Jia Baoyu, so that everyone in the Jia family has been saying, just like at the beginning Just like Jia Mu asked Jia Lian to marry Wang Xifeng, now Jia Mu just hopes that Jia Baoyu can marry Xing Xiuyan, and then asks Mrs. Xing to take care of Jia Baoyu more.

Compared to Xue Baochai, of course Xing Xiuyan, Mrs. Xing's niece, is closer to Mrs. Xing and Jia Yan. As long as Mrs. Xing is Jia She's wife, as long as Jia Yan recognizes Mrs. Xing, she will recognize this cousin. Naturally, Jia Baoyu would not be ignored.

If only one person said that, of course Xue Baochai would not believe it.

But everyone said that, even the mandarin ducks around Jiamu said that, saying that Jiamu was just repeating the old trick, so Xue Baochai relaxed his vigilance, thinking that Jiamu had taken a fancy to Xing Xiuyan.After all, Xing Xiuyan was about the same age as Lin Daiyu, Tanchun and others, and only one year younger than Jia Baoyu, so she was naturally more suitable in age than her, Jia Baoyu's cousin.

Therefore, after a whole year of carefulness, Xue Baochai would relax at that moment.

She never thought that it was the slack at that moment that made her beyond redemption!

Probably because of the blow that was too great, Xue Baochai didn't get better until April 23, seeing Xing Xiuyan's birthday was approaching, and was free to enter the garden to greet Jia Yan.

Beat her sick, no, it should be said that after that incident, she moved back to the small courtyard where their Xue family lives now to recuperate. Garden.

Kneeling in the main hall of the Thanksgiving Hall to salute Jia Yan above, whether it is Jia Yan or Xue Baochai, there is a sense of vicissitudes of life.

Jia Yan said, "Sister Bao, are you feeling better?"

Xue Baochai suddenly had the urge to cry.

She resisted, and said: "Yes, it's much better, thank you for your concern."

For some reason, Xue Baochai's voice sounded indescribably numb to Jia Yan's ears.

Jia Yan said: "I've heard about Sister Bao's matter, and I won't say anything if it's superfluous. I just want to tell Sister Bao that what happens between Sister Bao and Baoyu in the future, I will definitely stand on the side of Baoyu." Sister here."

Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, but after she understood it, she raised her head abruptly, the movement was so violent that it seemed as if she was going to break her neck:

"My lady meant to say..."

"No matter what happens in the future, I will stand by your side."

Even if I want to go back to my mother's house with Li?

Xue Baochai stared into Jia Yan's eyes and read this sentence from Jia Yan's face.

Tears welled up in her eyes suddenly.

Yes, since the incident happened, even her mother can only teach her to be patient, and ask her to treat Jia Baoyu well after she gets married. At most, as long as she has a son, she will gain a firm foothold in Jia's family.At all, she didn't consider her feelings, nor did she consider whether she was willing or not.

As for Jia Yan, although he didn't say it, Xue Baochai suddenly thought of a terrible idea from the other party's tone and demeanor.

Yes, I have a lady, what have I to be afraid of?

In fact, Xue Baochai was not without resentment in her heart, but she knew that Jia Mu was Jia Yan's biological grandmother, and Jia Mu presided over the calculation this time, so she could not take revenge on Jia Mu, but could only swallow the bitterness in her stomach.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just talk about that wine banquet. The wine cup used by their female relatives was only as big as the center of her palm, and the total capacity was only two taels. Moreover, the wine cups of their female relatives’ banquets were never full. The wine cups are filled eighty percent, but the wine glasses of women, especially unmarried girls, are always filled only sixty percent full.Such a little wine, even if the three cups add up, is only so much. If there is no problem with the wine, how could she be drunk?

It was only later that Xue Baochai found out that it was a special shochu made in the Western Regions. Although the taste of the wine was extremely light, it was extremely strong. A cup of it was like eating a catty of ordinary Huadiao wine. How could a girl like her bear it? ?

Not only Xue Baochai investigated it himself, but Jia Yan also conducted an investigation after hearing about this incident.

That wine is called Rouge Tears in the Western Regions, but it is not for girls, it is for men.It got such a name because many girls in the Western Regions were victimized by this wine, so there is a saying that girls will cry after drinking this wine, and their tears will be mixed with rouge.

This wine doesn't seem to have much alcohol taste, and it's very soft in the mouth, and it's fragrant and sweet, similar to the sherbet that girls eat, but in fact, the alcohol content of this wine is similar to that of vodka with more than 90 degrees. Almost all of them are pure alcohol.It is also a kind of fragmented wine that later generations often say.

In the Central Plains, the best Huadiao wine is only 45 degrees, some rice wine fermented at low temperature is only 30 degrees, and shochu generally ranges from [-] to [-] degrees, and shochu is still drunk more by men.The best wine is only over [-] degrees. Generally, the wines eaten by the women's family members are in their early twenties. Anything higher will not be put on the banquet.

Xue Baochai saw that the wine was rouge-colored, it didn't have much taste, and the portion was small, so she thought it was all right, but she didn't know that the three cups of wine she had were almost pure alcohol, no different from eating a catty of soju.

And eating a catty of soju is to eat slowly, and you can eat other things to diffuse the alcohol on the way, but she is equivalent to directly drinking a catty of soju, how can she not get dizzy?

What is even more unpredictable is that this kind of wine has a sweet aroma instead of much alcohol, so it is difficult to separate it from the fruit wine that girls eat.

It was Jia Yan who heard about it from He Shangshi and others, and only then did he know that this kind of deceitful wine is still a tribute from the Western Regions, and it is not easy for others to see it.

Even if Jia's mother is Jia Yan's real grandmother, Jia Yan is very disgusted with such behavior, so she said this to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai was almost choked up, lying on the ground and said: "Minister thank you for your kindness."

Jia Yan asked Xue Baochai to be helped up, and after sitting on the side, he said, "I heard that the old lady hopes that Sister Bao will come in as soon as possible, so what does Sister Bao think?"

Xue Baochai forced a smile and said: "Where in this world is there a brother who is not married, and a younger sister who is rushing to get married? Fortunately, my sister-in-law is as old as me, and the marriage certificate has been signed for several years. So my mother discussed with the old lady. First marry my sister-in-law into the family this year, and then deal with Baoyu and me next year."

If it is possible, Xue Baochai does not want to marry Jia Baoyu at all, but what can she do?It's not her turn to decide this kind of thing.

Jia Yan nodded and said: "So, I'm afraid I won't see the day when Sister Bao leaves the cabinet. If anything happens in the future, Sister Bao can go to Xiangji Temple Lane. Ji Shaojian's private house is over there. If my sister needs help, just go over there and find someone."

The Shaojian Ji that Jia Yan was referring to was Ji Tong, the Shaojian of Si Zan.

Xue Baochai remembered this, thanked Jia Yan deeply, and then went out.
