The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Last time I said that Baochai was very kind to Yinhu, and said that he would do great things and make meritorious deeds to win the hearts of the beauties. Yinhu seemed unmoved, but Baochai didn't know if it was true, so he had to leave first, wondering secretly After thinking about it, I don't know that Yinhu's side was really moved by Baochai's words.

It turned out that General Li was originally asked for instructions on his own initiative, firstly to show off his talent, to win the reward from the Holy One, and secondly because of his desire to show off and fight for honor and disgrace, but recently he changed his mind, He asked the emperor to resign, and put the matter to others to deal with it. With his previous nature, whenever such a thing happened, he would rush around and grab the opportunity to get credit, just because at that time he felt that it was time to snatch someone. A credit is enrichment and great joy, but now he doesn't think so, as if he suddenly realized that there are many things in life that are more important and meaningful than those shining lights, which makes him feel more Practical.

Therefore, after listening to Baochai's words today, his heart was really moved. If meritorious deeds can become a way and method to happiness, then why should he insist on discarding it and not use it? He couldn't tolerate Yinxiang being superior to him because of a little credit, and that credit was no more than a piece of fingernail in his eyes.It's just that he still seems to be a little uncertain about whether Baochai's words are true or not. In his feeling, Baochai is always a little more cunning and insidious than Xiangyun when it comes to pleasing Daiyu's schemes. , but also hard to believe.

And everything is business as usual, not much for the time being, and temporarily dismissed the idea of ​​resigning, in addition to dealing with daily chores, meeting and socializing, etc., I still invite banquets and drinks from time to time, creating opportunities to meet Daiyu, and seeing each other twice Respect, it’s nothing else, but on Daiyu’s side, because Yinhu is so impeccable, she doesn’t see how much better she is than being intentional about others, so until now she still doesn’t understand, even though she is not very close to her, It's not too distant, but within the scope of being polite and respectful.

In the twinkling of an eye, half a month passed, and winter was approaching. On this day, Daiyu greeted Jiamu and came back. Halfway along the way, she saw snowdrops falling from the sky. The thick clouds in the sky seemed to be covered with a misty layer. In the mist, Daiyu couldn't help but stopped, stretched out her hand, the snowdrops were crystal cool and melted in her hand, she asked Xueyan: "Is it already winter?"

Xueyan smiled and said, "It's almost December."

Daiyu nodded and said, "It's almost December, it's been such a long time." Staring into the distance, she didn't know what she was thinking, and sighed quietly, and when she was about to leave, she saw a person rushing across the bridge with an umbrella. , I met twice, and I saw that it was Yinhu.

It seemed that Yinhu didn't expect to meet Daiyu here, he was slightly startled, and greeted with a smile, Daiyu also bowed his head to say hello, Xueyan saw Yinhu walking in a hurry, so he asked: "Baye is in a hurry, Where did it come from?"

Yinhu frowned and said with a smile: "I was in a hurry to use a book to look up a passage in it, but unfortunately, I didn't have it at home, so I went to Master Jia to ask, and there was none, I just don't know what to do. "His face showed embarrassment.

Xueyan smiled and said: "It turns out that the eighth master wanted to borrow books, why didn't he say so sooner—" Daiyu glanced at Xueyan, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "I don't know which book the eighth master wants?"

Yinhu let out a groan, shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "Miss Lin definitely doesn't have this book. It's a Song Dynasty "Journey to the South of the Yangtze River". I heard that your place is full of ancient poems. How can you have such a book?"

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Is it Zhao Xiuliang's "Journey to the South of the Yangtze River"?"

Yinhu said in surprise, "Exactly."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I think I really have a copy. If you don't want it urgently, I'll ask the girls to look for it and send it to Ba Ye."

Yinhu was a little embarrassed, and smiled hesitantly: "I'm not being polite, I'm telling Miss Lin, I need this book urgently right now, if not, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to go to the study above to ask—"

Daiyu frowned lightly, nodded, thought for a long time, and then said leisurely to Xueyan: "Go and look for it on the small bookshelf in the inner room, if there is no one, it must be a white silk brocade in my closet." It's in the box. Go."

Xueyan got the order, and quickly agreed to go. There were only two people left here, Daiyu and Yinhu, so they met together and slowly went to the nearby pavilion to wait. with an umbrella.

There was silence for two moments, no one said a word, but Daiyu spoke first: "I don't know why Ba Ye wants that travel note urgently?"

Yinhu smiled and said: "There is an important case right now that involves a group of people from the tribe. Now they have been scattered and can't be found. I heard that this travel note has recorded the living habits of the tribe, so I have to follow it. Leave it to relevant people to make unannounced visits and search for it.”

After hearing this, Daiyu asked, "If you really found it according to what was written in the book, so what?"

Yinhu laughed and said: "Back then, this group of people were bullied and chased to death, framed for no reason, and their livelihood was difficult, so they fell to this situation today. Once they are found, it is natural to rehabilitate them and help them avenge their wrongs."

Hearing this, Daiyu seemed quite unexpected, so she looked at him, Yinhu also smiled at her, Daiyu smiled faintly, and hurriedly turned her eyes to look at the falling snow.

Yinhu seemed unintentional and said: "Has your brother not heard from you recently?"

Daiyu shook her head, and said: "His affairs are inconvenient, and he doesn't get news often. The most recent one was a month ago, and there will be no more."

Yinhu raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "A month ago? I thought you, as a younger sister, must be better informed than I am, but you don't know as much as I do."

After hearing this, Daiyu asked, "What do you know?"

Yinhu pursed his lips and smiled, and remained silent for half a day. Daiyu waited for a long time, but he didn't say anything. Knowing that he did it on purpose, he said, "If Baye doesn't say anything, I won't borrow any books." .

Yinhu quickly smiled and said: "Forget it, I said yes, your brother is really going to make a great contribution."

Daiyu stopped, looked back at him in a daze, Yinhu smiled and said: "Your brother is young, his words and deeds are really not what he can do at this age, he never thought that he is a master of miscellaneous learning, corrupt in officialdom and has no teachers. Self-skilled, more scheming, quack tricks, stealing and cheating, you are here, you don't know how many identities your brother has played in the past two or three months, and what's more, He is able to do a job with ease, and he doesn't wear any clothes at all. He is really born to be an undercover agent. Even I admire him. If things go on like this, I dare say that within two months, this big bone will definitely be able to make him gnaw Come down, your elder brother's success in the future will definitely be unavoidable, and then I will ask you to have a bite of the wedding wine for your official appointment."

After hearing this, Daiyu felt as if she was in the clouds, she was overjoyed for a moment, she turned her face into a bright red, and said with a smile: "My brother, is he really as you said? Can he make meritorious service and become an official? "

Yinhu nodded with a smile and said, "It's natural, can I still cheat you? Not only him, but also my fourth brother and thirteenth brother have made great achievements by relying on this matter. In fact, most of them are because of you. brother's light."

Daiyu asked again, 'Really? ', I like it even more, I can't help but put my hands together, and said softly in my mouth: "Amitabha." He half-raised his face, his cheeks were like flowers.

Yinhu had never seen Daiyu describe it like this before, and she was a little crazy for a while, thinking: "Beauty loves heroes, as expected, once she said the words 'to make great contributions', she was so happy." Bowed her head After thinking about it for a while, I feel a little jealous in my heart.

Seeing Xueyan bring the book, Daiyu took it in person, handed it to Yinhu, and said with a smile, "Please take it."

Yinhu smiled and said, "When I run out, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I don't need it for the time being. Just use yours. It's just one article. Don't burn it for me just because the book is not good, and then condemn me." Turning around Go and smile.

Yinhu smiled and said, "What are you talking about? If I were like that, I would be the first villain in the world." Daiyu laughed and said, "I was just joking with you, but you are serious about it." It's gone." For a while, he said a few gossips, and said goodbye to each other.

Yinhu stood there, watching Daiyu walk away, watching the silver-white tree branches and rockery finally block his sight, leaving nothing behind, lowering his head, smiling lightly, thinking about the scene just now, in his mind Go through it again and again, very slowly, every word, every smile, every behavior is precious.

Caicai's thinking really seemed to be dull just now, and now it gradually regained clarity. Daiyu joked with him for the first time, and it was so natural. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly an accident. It felt as if he was in a dream, but once he thought that it was because someone was about to achieve great feats, because someone was going to be rewarded so much that he got some of Daiyu's happy favor by the way, he felt that there was a It's a shame to pick up people's teeth.

He doesn't want to be like this, he wants that kind of admiration and admiration to be born because of him, and that kind of emotion mixed with heartbeat and shyness is born for him, the earth-shattering event is definitely not only done by him, the old thirteen alone, Glory and brilliance should definitely not belong to him alone, so why can't he?

Just wait and see.Yinhu said this to herself from the bottom of her heart, and finally looked at the place where Daiyu disappeared, put the book wrapped in white satin in her arms, turned around and walked away on the snow.

After this incident, Yinhu finally began to formally deal with the case of General Li. Politics and romance are naturally very different. There is no romance, no pity and sentimentality. , when necessary, you can use everything to the extreme, and when all the handling methods are crowned with Yinhu's characteristics, everything seems to be more decisive. As a result, there is no hypocrisy or deliberation. Once this corner is involved, he will naturally be as hard as iron.

The Holy Majesty's instructions came down quickly, and the usual ambiguous and innocuous words could also be seen as another kind of silence or approval. In short, everything was left to him and he believed in his ability.

A week later, a group of people took the imperial decree embroidered with yellow silk and gold, and headed for the remote border desert.

I don't know what kind of turmoil will arise from this imperial decree. Now let's say that Baochai here still doesn't know whether his plan is successful or not. He ponders and investigates every day. It used to be better, the so-called 'good' standard she asked for was very simple, as long as you don't look coldly at her, and you can talk to her once in a while, that's great, so I'm very proud and think I have something become.

Having taken this big step, Baochai resumed her usual skillful means in order to be perfect, and began to put her mind on the people around her when she had nothing to do. , send that, caring and considerate, relying on the strong economic strength of the Xue family as a shield, it didn't take long for everyone to get along with her very well, I feel that she is much more kind and easy-going than other girls, even those little girls love Hebao even when they are fine. Baochai is proud of being close to Chai.

Before entering Lingfeng Residence, Baochai often went to visit the sisters in the garden when she had nothing to do, just to make a step back. Recently, because she stood tall, she naturally saw far away, so she stopped talking to everyone in the garden. In the exchanges, occasionally sisters invite me, but it's just for a scene, just for a while.

One day, Modi fell ill at Lingfengju, and Baochai personally sent another pack of medicine, and he had a heart-to-heart talk with him by the bedside, then saw Aunt Xue's maid came to look for her, saying something was wrong, so Baochai had to go back. Aunt Xue saw that Xue Pan was growing up, and wanted to find a wife for him. After looking around, she found that the Xia family was the most prosperous among them, and her daughter Xia Jingui was born beautifully, because her former son, Aunt Xue, begged an aunt to give it to her. After a calculation, he actually said that Xia Jingui and Xiangling were in conflict with each other, "If you ignore it, something will happen when you get together in the future." I didn't know what to do, so I called Baochai to discuss it.

Baochai also knew a thing or two about Xia Jingui, and after hearing Aunt Xue's words, she smiled and said, "When did Mom believe those aunts and Taoists? Besides, wives and concubines have been distinguished in the family since ancient times. It must be nothing more than those 'dongfeng' Overwhelming the west wind, the west wind overpowering the east wind' is nothing more than that, Xiangling has always been restrained and weak, and it is normal to be angry with some masters, so there is no need for Mom to worry about it."

Aunt Xue sighed, and said: "That's the case, but I still have some doubts in my heart. I don't care what they do, just don't cause us trouble because of a little Xiangling."

Baochai nodded and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but we can't be the master after all, and we still need brother to come back and talk."

The two of them waited for Xue Pan to come back and chatted about Lingfeng Residence. Coincidentally, Xue Pan ate wine today and wandered back after dark. When I got here, I pretended to be normal and asked An to meet. Aunt Xue saw that he was full of alcohol and couldn't help being angry, so she asked him what he was doing. Xue Pan smiled and said, "It's just a meal with a few brothers." So I leisurely named a few people.

All Baochai sees and thinks about the shining Eighth Master all day long, and occasionally thinks about Yinxiang, Lin Long and others, all of them are dressed in brocade and satin costumes, and they are suave and elegant, very handsome. When the elder brother described it like this, he felt that not only could he not catch up, but he was a thousand miles away. He felt a little discouraged and looked down on him, so he frowned and said, "My elder brother went to drink with these people again. You said, make more friends with people who can help and be useful to my brother, and ignore the others. My brother prefers to make friends with wine and meat. If my brother has something to do in the future, if he finds them, they can help Brother, what? It's just a waste of time to just hang around with them, we're here waiting for you to talk about something, and you just won't come back. "

Xue Pan smiled and said: "Your sister is right. I am stupid by nature, and I am not as smart as my sister. I can curry favor with the eighth and ninth masters. I am only worthy of messing around with these people. My sister is so smart. Why wait for me to come back, everything is up to my sister to help my mother decide."

Baochai blushed a little, and said, "I can help you make arrangements, as long as you don't blame me for not doing things well in the future, just blame me."

Xue Pan was ignorant for a while, so Aunt Xue told about Xia Jingui and Xiangling's incompatibility. Xue Pan was taken aback and didn't know what to do. Can you care about Xiangling?Then he laughed and said, "Since that's the case, let Xiangling follow mom, or sister, and don't let her meet each other, wouldn't it be over?"

Baochai sneered and said: "I thought you could come up with some good idea, but I didn't expect this to be our girl, after all, we are still under the same roof, and we don't see those who look up, so we are not a family? It is still inevitable that mutual restraint will cause trouble!"

Xue Pan said: "Then what should I do if I have become my sister?"

Baochai then said: "If you feel sorry for Xiangling, you have no choice but not to marry the girl from the Xia family. If you insist on marrying her, you have to give up Xiangling. It's up to brother to decide which one you want."

Xue Pan hesitated for a while, and could only say: "If I have to choose one of the two, I must choose the girl from the Xia family."

Baochai then said: "Since my brother has decided so, I will call a proper person tomorrow, and let's take Xiangling out and sell it." Aunt Xue also nodded, and said, "I think so too."

Upon hearing this, Xue Pan quickly asked, "Where are you going to sell it?"

Baochai couldn't help laughing, and said: "Since it's all sold, she is naturally like a duckweed, so it's hard to know her whereabouts. From then on, she has nothing to do with our family. Brother asked why?"

Xue Pan was dazed for a while, and then said: "We got along for a while, and now we sell it like this, isn't it not too heartless?"

Baochai smiled lightly and said: "My brother is wrong. Xiangling has been with our family for many years, and she has enjoyed a good fortune. If it weren't for our family, Xiangling would not know what kind of land she would be in now. How could she be? Are we ruthless?"

Xue Pan had nothing to say for a while, so Aunt Xue and Baochai finalized the matter. On the second day, they found a human trafficker and handed over Xiangling to him to sell. Naturally, she didn't want to encounter this, but seeing Aunt Xue and Baochai's insistence, their attitude was indifferent, although they were weak-tempered, they refused to kneel down and cry to them, and they packed up their parcels and left without a word of farewell, Xue Seeing this, my aunt remembered Xiangling's usual benefits, and cried once instead.
