Amnesty's daily life
Chapter 231
Xue Baochai just felt that she had never been so ashamed in her life! !
To be honest, being covered with bird feces is not considered an injury. Even the bottom of the foot slipped and fell on the buttocks, it was just a sharp pain at the first moment, and after the recovery, nothing happened.It can be said that compared with the tragic situation of Mrs. Xue's family and Xue Pan's either illness or injury, Xue Baochai couldn't even talk about a slight injury.
But she was hurt face!
When the servant girl from Rongqing Hall rushed over after hearing the sound, Xue Baochai had already been helped up by Yinger, the close servant girl. Seeing that others had gone to call Jia Mu, she only blushed, and half covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Today I'm not feeling well, I'd better come back and say hello to the old lady."
Although the later maids didn't see what happened first, it can be seen that Xue Baochai's hair was dirty and her skirt was a little messy, and there was Lin Moyu yelling and making a fuss endlessly, what's not to like? understandable?At the moment, no one exposed Xue Baochai's excuses, but sent him out hastily.
In fact, it is said that there is never a shortage of clothes and hairpins in Rongqing Hall, even if Xue Baochai is allowed to repair it here.But Xue Baochai was originally a person who loved face very much, and seeing that he was seen by other people's brothers and sisters when he was embarrassed, he was so annoyed that he wanted to dig a hole and get in, so why would he stay for repairs.After leaving Rongqing hall in a hurry and walking to an open space, Xue Baochai couldn't hold back immediately, and burst into tears.
Ying'er was taken aback, it was the first time she had seen her girl like this, but it was not easy to persuade her, so she could only follow Xue Baochai three steps at a time to the courtyard where she lived temporarily. go.
Pianxue's house is located on the other side of the west courtyard, that is, Qinyuan, which is only a short distance away from Lixiangyuan. It was originally reorganized a few years ago to let many aunts and concubines live in the second room, but it was not Jia She who made it up later. Got a bunch of things?The aunts walked away, those who changed their identities changed their identities, and later because of the matter of welcoming the sisters, they drove away many people along the way, and the courtyard was simply empty.Originally, he thought that when the brothers from the concubine grew up, they would move out together, but now that Xue's family is here, they must first keep an eye on the guests.
There is only one reason for saying so many, that is, Qinyuan is farther away than Lixiangyuan, and most of the female family members usually use soft sedan chairs to go back and forth. Of course, young people like Xue Baochai will also take a walk slowly. Qin Yuan went to Pear Fragrance Court first, and then walked around to the small garden from Pear Fragrance Court to chat with a few sisters and take a rest. Usually, he would not arrive in less than half an hour.But when he went back today, it took Xue Baochai less than half a quarter of an hour to rush back to Qinyuan.
As soon as I got back to Qinyuan, I didn't even go to Mrs. Xue's house. Xue Baochai just went into her own room. Afterwards, the little maids got water and handkerchiefs. Finally stopped.But at that time, Xue Baochai cried until her eyes were swollen into walnuts.
Ordinarily speaking, this matter today, if you say it's big, it's definitely not big, if you say it's small...it varies from person to person.
For a shameless person like Jia She, this would not be a problem at all.After all, apart from losing some face, where is the other loss?However, for Xue Baochai, his face is bigger than the sky.
In this room, Xue Baochai's strange behavior finally alarmed Mrs. Xue's family. In that room, Lin Moyu was caught by Jia Min and scolded her head and face.
Regardless of whether Jia Mu is in decline or not, and how much power she has in the Rongguo Mansion, at least in the Rongqing Hall, she still has a lot of status.Besides, it wasn't a big deal at all, after Xue Baochai rushed out with his maid, someone stepped forward and told the story, and of course he didn't forget to mention Mo Yu's words tactfully.
"You, you! Who is your temper like? You are so mischievous, you love to see people joke! In the past, it was fine when you were at home. Your sister doesn't care about you, and the maids and women are more forbearing. But what did I say before I went out? Huh, you promised well, and you forgot about it as soon as you turned around? You child! Don’t expect me to take you away from relatives in the future!"
Jia Min was really angry. In the past, she also found that her kid was a bit mischievous. If she didn't follow her, she would be spoiled because the child was young and he was the sweetheart that the couple had been looking forward to for ten years.The most important thing is that the Lin family has few relatives in the capital, and no one visits the Lin residence on weekdays.Therefore, no matter how mischievous Mo Yu was, he did not cause any trouble.How do you know that once in a while when you come to Rongguo Mansion, this happens, how can Jia Min not be angry?
Actually, Jia Min wasn't afraid of the Xue family's anger, in fact she didn't know who her kid was making fun of at first.But it doesn't matter who it is, just judging from Mo Yu's behavior, if he is not disciplined, he may offend others as soon as he goes out.It's fine if you're pushed by others, after all, even if you have a good temper like Lin Hai, you are not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others, but the problem is, the good-natured people didn't offend you, you just rushed to laugh at them and offend them, Isn't this just looking for trouble?
But Jia Min was on this side, and Mo Yu looked like a normal person, smiling at her, occasionally tilting her head to look at her sister, winking and sticking out her tongue secretly.
"Lin Moyu!" Jia Min's face darkened completely. She originally thought that she was at her mother's house. When she made a face, she actually put on an unscrupulous look, which made her face turn blue with anger.
Feeling threatened, Mo Yu finally survived. She glanced at Jia Min quietly, stepped forward, and said with a flattering smile, "Mother, Mo Yu likes mother the most."
"Don't interrupt! Tell me, it's fine, why are you making fun of him? How about your manners?"
Mo Yu was a little dazed by the training, thought for a moment with a bitter face, and then said to Jia Min in a discussing tone: "Then there will be no more jokes in the future?" As he spoke, he showed his small canine teeth again, and smiled flatteringly.
"What's the future? I won't take you away from relatives in the future!" Jia Min was either angry or laughing at Mo Yu's appearance.By the way, every time Mo Yu was mischievous in the past, he always looked like this, which is why Jia Min has nothing to do with him.
"Okay, what mother says is good. Mo Yu is not good, but sister is good. In the future, stepmother will only bring her sister to visit relatives." Mo Yu licked her face and hugged Jia Min, shaking and shaking coquettishly, "Mother loves sister but not Mo Yu, but Mo Yu still loves mother the most."
"You little thing!" Jia Min was so angry that he left inexplicably.In fact, not to mention that she is a loving mother, no matter how cruel she is, there is nothing she can do when she meets such a little thing.
Seeing that Jia Min was finally discouraged, Daiyu at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.As for Jia's mother, who always looked at Jia Min's mother and son with a smile, she smiled brightly.
In fact, no matter whether it was Jia Min's mother and son, or Jia's mother, or the maids in Rongqingtang, they never took Xue Baochai's slippery bird feces on his head and soles of his feet to heart.Of course, if something really happened to Xue Baochai today, then he must be cared for. It doesn't matter if he asks the doctor or asks for medicine or anything else, the Rongguo Mansion will be responsible to the end.But who made the original no big deal?Instead of holding on to it all the time and making people uncomfortable, it would be more appropriate to simply pretend that nothing happened.
Because of this, everyone's focus is on Mo Yu's lack of manners.However, even if it is the same thing, everyone reacts differently.
Jia Min was angry that his brat was getting more and more mischievous, and he didn't show etiquette anymore.Daiyu was worried that her younger brother would be scolded, even though similar things had happened several times before, being a servant of the master's joke, and a girl visiting relatives and friends to laugh at other people's family were two completely different concepts. Her mother was discouraged, and Daiyu was finally relieved.As for Jia's mother, she had the attitude of watching a good show at all, not indifferent, but felt that this scene was very happy.
"The days go by so fast. It's as if you were snuggling by my side and acting coquettishly yesterday, but now your children are so old. Come, Daiyu, Moyu, come to grandma. Don't be afraid, your mother She won't be really angry, even if she is, isn't there still grandma here?"
"Old lady!" Jia Min blamed helplessly, but seeing her two children hugging her with a smile, she felt even more helpless.
"Okay, this lesson has been taught, let's just let it go. In my opinion, it's not a big deal. If that precious girl is really injured, Mo Yu will definitely not sit idly by. That is It was an embarrassment, the child looked at the strangeness, and then laughed twice, what's the big deal? You are too old-fashioned, and I don't want to think about your elder brother who made a lot of trouble every day when he was a child, isn't it also Have you passed?" Mother Jia held her grandson and granddaughter in her arms, asking each other casually while wondering.
There is a saying that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart.Mother Jia's words were indeed casual, but in Jia Min's ears, it was not the same thing at all.
She thought of Jia She, that old bastard who was not stingy!
The statement that a nephew is like an uncle is actually groundless.These two brothers who are close relatives have completely different temperaments, if the nephew looks like an uncle, which uncle should he look like?Leaving aside the other things, let’s just say that Jia She and Jia Zheng are on good terms. Their temper, temper and behavior are like heaven and earth. However, one thing is for sure, Jia Min doesn’t want his family’s Mo Yu to be like Jia She and Jia Zheng at all. Anyone in Jia Zhengzhong.
Someone like Jia Amnesty is a bastard, and someone like Jia Zheng is a good-for-nothing trash.
Jia Min didn't know which was worse, but according to the present situation, Mo Yu was not at all like Jia Zheng.After all, when Jia Zheng was young, he also spoke and acted in a serious manner, and sometimes he was pedantic and even like an old man. Such mischievous mischief and jumping up and down had absolutely nothing to do with Jia Zheng.But after hearing what Jiamu said just now, Jia Min's heart is in a state of turmoil, and he is afraid that his words will become a prophecy.In case the precious son she has worked so hard for is not stingy like Jia She, then she...
There is no need to live anymore.
No matter how you say it, this incident sounded the alarm for Jia Min. When she came to her mother's house later, she really left Mo Yu at home and only brought Dai Yu.In Jia Min's view, at least her daughter's temperament is guaranteed, and no one has heard that there are nieces who are like uncles.
After this incident, the biggest sequelae was not that Jia Min became vigilant, but that Xue Baochai hadn't shown up for two full months.Even a few sisters went to her together, but they couldn't coax her out.It wasn't until two months later that Baoyu's birthday was coming, which attracted Xue Baochai to go out.
But it is said that Baoyu's birthday was not planned to be a big deal according to Mrs. Wang's intention.Although Mrs. Wang is high-profile on weekdays, she has other taboos about children's birthdays.
Generally speaking, those who are older, especially those who have passed the sixtieth age, have to hold a birthday banquet every year, not only to do it, but also to hold a special one.Because most of the participants are the descendants of the elderly, and because of the elderly, the number of years is reduced every year. The more lively the festival, the more enjoyable it will be, and naturally the more people will be retained.On the other hand, there is really no need to make a big deal about children's families.Of course, special cases like Xisan, full moon, and hundred days are special cases.But Baoyu is nine years old this year, this is neither a full birthday nor a meaningful birthday, why bother?
It's a pity that it's useless for Mrs. Wang to object to this kind of thing alone. Although Jia Zheng's attitude towards Jia's mother has weakened in the past two years, he will not compete with Jia's mother on this kind of matter.As for the other side of the big room, no matter how much Jia Amnesty tossed about, he couldn't afford to smash against a stone.This matter is settled.
Then do it!
According to Jiamu's wishes, Baoyu had been staying in Lixiangyuan for a while, so he had to come to her for her birthday.Although Mrs. Wang was full of anger, she couldn't give in directly, so she let it go and sent Baoyu there the night before her birthday. —of course reluctantly.
When it was the right day, the Rongqing Hall was bustling with excitement for a long time, and Mother Jia didn't know what she had done. Not only did Jia Min bring Daiyu over, but even the branch of the Shijia came. The wife brought Xiangyun, and the second wife of the Shi family, Mrs. Chen, brought her son and daughter.
Speaking of this historian, the past two years have been full of fuss.Mrs. Baolinghou's wife, Mrs. Zhang, has status and means, and her natal family is reliable. Although she has only one daughter after several years of marriage, she holds the middle wife of the entire Hou's mansion and suppresses the second wife almost out of breath.The second wife, whose maiden name is Chen, is a descendant of Chen Yi, the Duke of Qi. She had a quarrel with Mrs. Baolinghou before she entered the house. Xiangyun was used as bait, which directly caused Jia Amnesty to come to the door to collect debts, and his own dowry was not guaranteed, and he was crushed to death when he entered the door.
It was no longer a dispute with Shijia, but the big house was unilaterally suppressing the second house.But the second-bedroom wife is not good, her stomach is up to the mark, and she started a few years later than Mrs. Bowlinghou, but now she has a son, a daughter and two children, especially the third-bedroom wife who just got married a year ago, that is to say, the second-bedroom wife The brother born is the only brother of the historian so far.
Mother Jia didn't know if she was really not afraid of things, or if she didn't know the inside story at all, she actually invited the two wives of the Shi family over in one go.But those two are strong-tempered, if you dare to invite me, I dare to come. Turning around, two carriages of the Shi family were blocked at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. The two wives each took their own children and went their own way. They were so indifferent that people looked sideways. .
This historian is here, the Lin family is here, can the Xue family who are borrowing in Rongguo Mansion come?Don't say that Xue Baochai was just ashamed, even if she was really injured at the time, she should go forward to have fun, let alone that she had a purpose in the first place.
"Baby girl, don't worry, I've been questioned before, the brother of the Lin family was detained at home by his parents, and he wasn't allowed to go anywhere, so he definitely won't come today. You, Don't keep thinking about it, maybe people will forget it after mentioning it, you just remember it. Also, we originally planned to let you enter the palace as the escort of the princess and princess. It may not be appropriate, especially since the Rongguo Mansion has already given birth to a concubine, I am afraid that your aunt is unwilling to help you wholeheartedly."
Mrs. Xue's family is also suffering and can't tell.
For Jia Mu's crow's mouth, she has personally experienced it, and even her two children have suffered a lot.Unfortunately, even so, she still has no plans to move out.The Xue family does not lack this house and courtyard, but what is lacking is people from the vigorous family.Don't look at Xue Pan is already a young man, but his disposition is like a child's, not to mention supporting the family business, just not getting into trouble is good.Mrs. Xue's family originally wanted to ask Jia Zheng to discipline her, but Jia Zheng refused, and she hoped that Jia Amnesty could help manage it. After all, the eldest brother and sister are much better than the second wife. She had no choice but to stay in Rongguo Mansion for more than two months, and she hadn't been able to connect with Da Fang at all.
As for Xue Baochai's entry into the palace, there has been no definite news.Mrs. Xue's family had to make two preparations, in case Xue Pan couldn't do her best, and in case Xue Baochai failed to enter the palace, then the only one she could rely on was her good sister, Mrs. Wang.
The only thing to rely on.
"I see." Xue Baochai responded lightly, neither saying yes, nor saying no, just lowering her eyes so that she couldn't see the expression on her face.
How could she not know the situation at home?In fact, as early as many years ago, when Xue's father realized that his only son Xue Pan was unreliable, he had already started to additionally train Xue Baochai.Helpless, men these days have various ways to make achievements, but women only have one, which is still full of difficulties and obstacles, and even if they win, they may not be able to be happy.
Xue Baochai admits that she is still a bit ambitious and wants to enter the palace for a try, but instead of being the companion of the princess and princess, she wants to directly participate in the general election.Helplessly, even sister Yuan from her aunt's family can only participate in the small election, so she has no choice.Up to now, I am afraid that even being the companion of the princess and princess has become a luxury, so how can she not complain?But who can she blame when she complains?In other words, instead of complaining every day, it is better to think carefully about where to go in the future.
"Baby girl?"
There is a saying that Mo Ruomu knows her daughter well, even though Mrs. Xue's attention is usually on Xue Pan, it doesn't mean she doesn't love her daughter.Especially in the past two months, seeing her daughter, who is usually full of confidence, looks dull and silent, she naturally feels uncomfortable.
He tentatively called Xue Baochai, and the wife of the Xue family sighed: "I know you are caring, but if there is a way, why don't I want you to enter the palace to give it a try. Especially this cold-eyed, familiar brother, unexpectedly No one is worthy of you, why should I not be in a hurry? Although your aunt's Baoyu has not yet decided her temperament, she is still very good. Our family has been out of shape since your father left. If you I don’t have to worry if my elder brother can have a future. I’m born...Baby girl, mother knows I’ve wronged you, but isn’t there nothing I can do about it?”
——I know that I have wronged you, but you still have to continue to be wronged.
Xue Baochai understood Mrs. Xue's subtext as soon as she heard it.To be honest, she is too lazy to blame her mother for being partial, and compared to other families, Mrs. Xue's family is not partial. How many other families can really treat their sons and daughters fairly?On the side of the Xue family, the biggest problem is the merchants. Now there is still a famous merchant with the name of an imperial merchant, and the old relatives are all there. It is extremely difficult for Xue Baochai to fly up the branch and become a phoenix. Some, it's not difficult.
Seeing that Xue Baochai was still silent, Mrs. Xue only said: "Today is a big day, and many families will come. Although most of them are sisters and sons, what are you afraid of when the wife is here? Just show yourself, let's It doesn't have to be spent on Baoyu from your aunt's house, if there is a good one, the other party will also like it, will I, a mother, stop you from making progress?"
"I see." The words are still old, but when he said these words, Xue Baochai felt a little more energetic.
Obviously, as a daughter of the Xue family who has been declining day by day, Xue Baochai must get married, and she must choose a marriage that looks beautiful.However, Mrs. Xue is not the kind of person who deliberately treats her daughter harshly. As long as the family is high enough, it doesn't matter who the other party is. Xue Baochai can choose.
It's a pity, that's what I said, but there are really not many choices.
Of the four major families in Jinling, the Wang family was supposed to be the easiest to marry, but now it can only be crossed out directly. Among the contemporaries, Wang Ren has already married a wife, and she is a famous shrewd wife; Fang only has one daughter, Xiangyun, and the second room has a son and a daughter, but the son is three years old this year, and the daughter is only a little over one year old;
In fact, according to Xue Baochai's idea, she prefers Brother Jing from Dafang.
Brother Jing was born in the first year of Baoyu's birth. Although the age difference is more than half a year, it is already ten years old.Xue Baochai is two years older than Baoyu, and was 11 years old at the time. It can be said that if he matches Baoyu, he also matches Jing.And even though Brother Jing is only the fourth son of the eldest son, he can't stand up to his father's ability, nor can he himself.Compared with the second son of Baiding Jiazheng, he must be the fourth son of Zhengyipin Diange University of higher family status, besides, Brother Jing registered in the study room at a young age, even if he is a wounded Zhongyong, With such a solid foundation, he will be able to find a fifth-rank official in the future.
The problem is, Da Fang didn't think about it at all. To be precise, Da Fang didn't even pay attention to Twelve's marriage. To the daughter-in-law.
There is no need to worry about the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai is the one who is anxious!
At first, she hid in the house for two months, but now when she went out, Xue Baochai seemed to be in a lifetime, seeing that everyone had something to do, but felt that what she did before was a bit silly.Maybe she shouldn't have wasted so much time at all, even to get close to her cousin Wang Xifeng?There is also sister Ying from the big house, who is also a girl, even if they are a little older, with her ability, it is not difficult to make friends.
After entering the Rongqing Hall, seeing the pretty faces of the girls from various families, Xue Baochai's heart was full of alarm bells.
In terms of appearance, stature and even talent, Xue Baochai is not afraid, and everyone present is of noble birth than her, even if she is the eldest daughter of the royal merchant Xue's family, so what?A word of Shang would almost kill her.Fortunately, except for her, the people present didn't think so much. After all, it was just a birthday party for the second roommate of Rongguo Mansion, and all the people who came were young brothers and sisters. Who would think so much?
After all, there are really only the mother and daughter of the Xue family.
Because all the people who came were relatives-in-law and acquaintances, they only found acquaintances to talk to.On the other side of Lin's house, Jia Min brought Daiyu to accompany Jia's mother; Wang's family also came to join in the fun, and it was Wang Ren's fierce wife who came, but he only found his sister-in-law Wang Xifeng to joke and joke, occasionally teasing Xin'er, who was born by Wang Xifeng, said a few jokes about turning back and making a baby-marriage; the historian was even more capable, Mrs. Baoling Hou took her daughter Xiangyun to sit in the big house of Rongguo Mansion, and would not leave if anyone called her. Sister Yingying really likes Xiangyun, and Mou tried her best to make the little girl cry; or Grandma Zhen Youshi from Dongfu next door also came to join in the fun, but she quietly accompanied Nala Shu Xian.
After arguing for a long time, Xue's mother and daughter could only talk to Mrs. Wang.The question is, when can Mrs. Xun Wang not be allowed?Do you have to seize this day to talk?Of course, Mrs. Wang would not refuse, but people came to look for her from time to time, and the mother and daughter of Xue's family sat aside in embarrassment, and finally Tanchun came to chat with them.
Fortunately, the maid soon came to report that they could go to the theater, which eased the embarrassing situation between Xue's mother and daughter.But on this stage, male and female guests sit together, not completely different, but separated by a certain distance, but they can still be seen vaguely.
As today's birthday boy, Baoyu is surrounded by his father, brother, uncle, and a group of cousins, and he just wants to cry.
Looking at the female relatives sitting together in the distance, Baoyu really wanted to leave this group of elders behind and run to the female relatives to seek warmth.Unexpectedly, he really didn't have the guts, or in other words, he was frightened by Jia Zheng's three beatings that day.Fortunately, in the middle of the play, Jia Mu sent someone to call him over.
Jia's mother was very thoughtful, she felt that it would be inappropriate to call Baoyu alone, especially considering the trouble of finding Baoyu after Jia Zhenghui, Jia's mother specially called more people.
"Me?" Brother Jing looked confused, and he planned to squint for a while when he was not prepared, but was called by Jia's name.Looking up and seeing the narrow smile on his little brother's face, Brother Jing angrily shook off the claws that were about to slap his head, and said angrily, "Isn't this Baoyu's birthday? Why are you looking for me? If you don't go, I will Just stay here with dad and brothers."
"Don't say it's so heart-warming...Come on, if you tell you to go, you can go!" Twelve casually gave Brother Jing a headache, smiled so brightly, and specially lowered his voice and said, "Watch carefully Take some Baoyu, if there is something wrong, just cheat him hard, I support you!"
Pit Baoyu?
Brother Jing glanced at Baoyu, whose face was full of light. In fact, he was not keen on defrauding people, but when he thought of how many times Baoyu approached Daiyu before, scaring the little girl so much that she was about to cry, he suddenly felt Feeling a sense of justice: "Let's go, Baoyu hasten to go, let's go to pay respects to the old lady."
Saying that, regardless of Jia Zheng's expression, Brother Jing dragged Baoyu away.
Baoyu couldn't believe that things went so smoothly, so he didn't think about it at all, so he happily went to the female relative's side.In fact, a ten-year-old child is not too young to say that he is too young, but he is not too big. At least in the eyes of the elders, he is completely a child who has not yet grown up.Therefore, seeing Brother Jing and Baoyu coming over, the female relatives present didn't take it seriously. They still watched the show and talked.
But Baoyu rushed to Daiyu with a stride, but two steps away from Daiyu, a big horse fell to the ground.And behind him, Brother Jing quietly retracted his unruly foot, pretending to be concerned, and said, "Baoyu, what are you doing? It's not for Chinese New Year, and you don't even give red envelopes when you kowtow."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jia's mother felt sorry for Baoyu, so she hurriedly asked Baoyu to lift him into her arms, looked him up and down, and asked for warmth.
Pian Baoyu is a forgetful person, and the original is not very good, he forgot it in an instant, stared at Daiyu with all eyes, and opened his mouth and said, "Sister Lin is going to live in the mansion today. If you want me to say, how nice is it to stay in the mansion after claiming sex and go home, with all the sisters and sisters together?"
Daiyu was silent for a moment, and then pretending she didn't hear this, she smiled and said to Brother Jing who was two steps behind: "I heard from my parents earlier that Brother Jing went to study in the study? How is it there, sir?" Can you be strict? Classmates...are they really royal family members?"
Brother Jing took a step forward, first saluted Jia Mu, then greeted Jia Min, and then smiled at Dai Yu: "It's just the same school, it's the same wherever you go. The master is strict, the so-called strict teacher." What's more, no matter how strict you are, can you be stricter than my grandfather and uncles? Especially my second uncle, if he is dissatisfied, he will beat his hands with a ruler."
"You were beaten?" Daiyu was frightened for a moment, but she never noticed Baoyu's subconscious behavior of putting her hand behind her back when Brother Jing mentioned "ruler".
However, even if Daiyu didn't see it, Jia Min saw it too, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and his disdain grew more and more.Although she felt very helpless about Jia Zheng, the second elder brother of her natal family, who became more and more useless, she had to admit that Jia Zheng was a gentleman, and if it wasn't for Baoyu who couldn't support the wall, Jia Zheng wouldn't be so bored as to use the ruler.On the other hand, it can make such waste as Jia Zheng feel unforgivable, how waste is Baoyu?
"No, I usually watch my uncle's cousins being beaten." Brother Jing said with a smile, "Actually, hand-playing is very fun, especially if you want to shake your hand but dare not, want to cry and shout Fearing that it would be worse, they held back their tears, but they didn't dare to cry loudly to beg for mercy... Tsk tsk, not to mention how interesting it is."
Jia Min couldn't help but glared at Brother Jing: "Little Jing'er, you look quite like your father." These words were really not compliments.
"Thank you, Auntie, for your compliment." Brother Jing responded with kindness, and seeing Baoyu approaching again, he took the initiative to say to Baoyu, "Last time, my second uncle gave me a set of policy questions. I have already finished answering and transcribing them. Once again, do you want to send it back to you?"
"No, no, no... old ancestor!" Baoyu quickly moved away from Brother Jing and ran to Jiamu's side, wishing he could shrink himself a little so that he could escape.
Seeing this, Mother Jia said helplessly, "Jing'er, don't keep scaring your younger brother, it's his birthday today."
Brother Jing nodded happily and said, "Okay, then I'll send it to him tomorrow."
Baoyu: "..."
Not to mention Baoyu's wilting appearance in an instant, but to say that the mother and daughter of the Xue family have been looking at this side.Baoyu's great hospitality to Daiyu, Daiyu's indifference to Baoyu, and brother Jing's jokes, which drove Baoyu to death without leaving anyone to talk about it...all were noticed.
Xue Baochai was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help tugging at Mrs. Xue's sleeves, turned sideways and whispered, "Mother, I really don't want to marry Baoyu."
It is said that three years old see old, although this is a bit too one-sided, but what if the other party is already nine years old?To be honest, let alone Xue Baochai, even the parents of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are not optimistic about Baoyu.Of course, they still have their eldest son Zhu Geer to rely on, and their clever little grandson Sun Laner, so they don't have to fight hard at Baoyu's end.But what about Xue Baochai?She didn't want her natal brother to be unreliable when she was not out of the cabinet, and her husband would also be unreliable after he was out of the cabinet.
No matter what, Xue Baochai still has a choice before the Xue family has been tied to the bandit ship.
"Baby girl..."
"Mother, Baoyu is unreliable. Rather than placing hope on him, it is better to think carefully about other people." Xue Baochai sighed in her heart. She knew that hope was slim, so she did not dare to speak out her true thoughts.But compared to Baoyu, she really likes Dafang's elder brother Jing more.
To be honest, being covered with bird feces is not considered an injury. Even the bottom of the foot slipped and fell on the buttocks, it was just a sharp pain at the first moment, and after the recovery, nothing happened.It can be said that compared with the tragic situation of Mrs. Xue's family and Xue Pan's either illness or injury, Xue Baochai couldn't even talk about a slight injury.
But she was hurt face!
When the servant girl from Rongqing Hall rushed over after hearing the sound, Xue Baochai had already been helped up by Yinger, the close servant girl. Seeing that others had gone to call Jia Mu, she only blushed, and half covered her face with a handkerchief and said, "Today I'm not feeling well, I'd better come back and say hello to the old lady."
Although the later maids didn't see what happened first, it can be seen that Xue Baochai's hair was dirty and her skirt was a little messy, and there was Lin Moyu yelling and making a fuss endlessly, what's not to like? understandable?At the moment, no one exposed Xue Baochai's excuses, but sent him out hastily.
In fact, it is said that there is never a shortage of clothes and hairpins in Rongqing Hall, even if Xue Baochai is allowed to repair it here.But Xue Baochai was originally a person who loved face very much, and seeing that he was seen by other people's brothers and sisters when he was embarrassed, he was so annoyed that he wanted to dig a hole and get in, so why would he stay for repairs.After leaving Rongqing hall in a hurry and walking to an open space, Xue Baochai couldn't hold back immediately, and burst into tears.
Ying'er was taken aback, it was the first time she had seen her girl like this, but it was not easy to persuade her, so she could only follow Xue Baochai three steps at a time to the courtyard where she lived temporarily. go.
Pianxue's house is located on the other side of the west courtyard, that is, Qinyuan, which is only a short distance away from Lixiangyuan. It was originally reorganized a few years ago to let many aunts and concubines live in the second room, but it was not Jia She who made it up later. Got a bunch of things?The aunts walked away, those who changed their identities changed their identities, and later because of the matter of welcoming the sisters, they drove away many people along the way, and the courtyard was simply empty.Originally, he thought that when the brothers from the concubine grew up, they would move out together, but now that Xue's family is here, they must first keep an eye on the guests.
There is only one reason for saying so many, that is, Qinyuan is farther away than Lixiangyuan, and most of the female family members usually use soft sedan chairs to go back and forth. Of course, young people like Xue Baochai will also take a walk slowly. Qin Yuan went to Pear Fragrance Court first, and then walked around to the small garden from Pear Fragrance Court to chat with a few sisters and take a rest. Usually, he would not arrive in less than half an hour.But when he went back today, it took Xue Baochai less than half a quarter of an hour to rush back to Qinyuan.
As soon as I got back to Qinyuan, I didn't even go to Mrs. Xue's house. Xue Baochai just went into her own room. Afterwards, the little maids got water and handkerchiefs. Finally stopped.But at that time, Xue Baochai cried until her eyes were swollen into walnuts.
Ordinarily speaking, this matter today, if you say it's big, it's definitely not big, if you say it's small...it varies from person to person.
For a shameless person like Jia She, this would not be a problem at all.After all, apart from losing some face, where is the other loss?However, for Xue Baochai, his face is bigger than the sky.
In this room, Xue Baochai's strange behavior finally alarmed Mrs. Xue's family. In that room, Lin Moyu was caught by Jia Min and scolded her head and face.
Regardless of whether Jia Mu is in decline or not, and how much power she has in the Rongguo Mansion, at least in the Rongqing Hall, she still has a lot of status.Besides, it wasn't a big deal at all, after Xue Baochai rushed out with his maid, someone stepped forward and told the story, and of course he didn't forget to mention Mo Yu's words tactfully.
"You, you! Who is your temper like? You are so mischievous, you love to see people joke! In the past, it was fine when you were at home. Your sister doesn't care about you, and the maids and women are more forbearing. But what did I say before I went out? Huh, you promised well, and you forgot about it as soon as you turned around? You child! Don’t expect me to take you away from relatives in the future!"
Jia Min was really angry. In the past, she also found that her kid was a bit mischievous. If she didn't follow her, she would be spoiled because the child was young and he was the sweetheart that the couple had been looking forward to for ten years.The most important thing is that the Lin family has few relatives in the capital, and no one visits the Lin residence on weekdays.Therefore, no matter how mischievous Mo Yu was, he did not cause any trouble.How do you know that once in a while when you come to Rongguo Mansion, this happens, how can Jia Min not be angry?
Actually, Jia Min wasn't afraid of the Xue family's anger, in fact she didn't know who her kid was making fun of at first.But it doesn't matter who it is, just judging from Mo Yu's behavior, if he is not disciplined, he may offend others as soon as he goes out.It's fine if you're pushed by others, after all, even if you have a good temper like Lin Hai, you are not a soft persimmon to be manipulated by others, but the problem is, the good-natured people didn't offend you, you just rushed to laugh at them and offend them, Isn't this just looking for trouble?
But Jia Min was on this side, and Mo Yu looked like a normal person, smiling at her, occasionally tilting her head to look at her sister, winking and sticking out her tongue secretly.
"Lin Moyu!" Jia Min's face darkened completely. She originally thought that she was at her mother's house. When she made a face, she actually put on an unscrupulous look, which made her face turn blue with anger.
Feeling threatened, Mo Yu finally survived. She glanced at Jia Min quietly, stepped forward, and said with a flattering smile, "Mother, Mo Yu likes mother the most."
"Don't interrupt! Tell me, it's fine, why are you making fun of him? How about your manners?"
Mo Yu was a little dazed by the training, thought for a moment with a bitter face, and then said to Jia Min in a discussing tone: "Then there will be no more jokes in the future?" As he spoke, he showed his small canine teeth again, and smiled flatteringly.
"What's the future? I won't take you away from relatives in the future!" Jia Min was either angry or laughing at Mo Yu's appearance.By the way, every time Mo Yu was mischievous in the past, he always looked like this, which is why Jia Min has nothing to do with him.
"Okay, what mother says is good. Mo Yu is not good, but sister is good. In the future, stepmother will only bring her sister to visit relatives." Mo Yu licked her face and hugged Jia Min, shaking and shaking coquettishly, "Mother loves sister but not Mo Yu, but Mo Yu still loves mother the most."
"You little thing!" Jia Min was so angry that he left inexplicably.In fact, not to mention that she is a loving mother, no matter how cruel she is, there is nothing she can do when she meets such a little thing.
Seeing that Jia Min was finally discouraged, Daiyu at the side finally breathed a sigh of relief.As for Jia's mother, who always looked at Jia Min's mother and son with a smile, she smiled brightly.
In fact, no matter whether it was Jia Min's mother and son, or Jia's mother, or the maids in Rongqingtang, they never took Xue Baochai's slippery bird feces on his head and soles of his feet to heart.Of course, if something really happened to Xue Baochai today, then he must be cared for. It doesn't matter if he asks the doctor or asks for medicine or anything else, the Rongguo Mansion will be responsible to the end.But who made the original no big deal?Instead of holding on to it all the time and making people uncomfortable, it would be more appropriate to simply pretend that nothing happened.
Because of this, everyone's focus is on Mo Yu's lack of manners.However, even if it is the same thing, everyone reacts differently.
Jia Min was angry that his brat was getting more and more mischievous, and he didn't show etiquette anymore.Daiyu was worried that her younger brother would be scolded, even though similar things had happened several times before, being a servant of the master's joke, and a girl visiting relatives and friends to laugh at other people's family were two completely different concepts. Her mother was discouraged, and Daiyu was finally relieved.As for Jia's mother, she had the attitude of watching a good show at all, not indifferent, but felt that this scene was very happy.
"The days go by so fast. It's as if you were snuggling by my side and acting coquettishly yesterday, but now your children are so old. Come, Daiyu, Moyu, come to grandma. Don't be afraid, your mother She won't be really angry, even if she is, isn't there still grandma here?"
"Old lady!" Jia Min blamed helplessly, but seeing her two children hugging her with a smile, she felt even more helpless.
"Okay, this lesson has been taught, let's just let it go. In my opinion, it's not a big deal. If that precious girl is really injured, Mo Yu will definitely not sit idly by. That is It was an embarrassment, the child looked at the strangeness, and then laughed twice, what's the big deal? You are too old-fashioned, and I don't want to think about your elder brother who made a lot of trouble every day when he was a child, isn't it also Have you passed?" Mother Jia held her grandson and granddaughter in her arms, asking each other casually while wondering.
There is a saying that the speaker has no intention and the listener has the heart.Mother Jia's words were indeed casual, but in Jia Min's ears, it was not the same thing at all.
She thought of Jia She, that old bastard who was not stingy!
The statement that a nephew is like an uncle is actually groundless.These two brothers who are close relatives have completely different temperaments, if the nephew looks like an uncle, which uncle should he look like?Leaving aside the other things, let’s just say that Jia She and Jia Zheng are on good terms. Their temper, temper and behavior are like heaven and earth. However, one thing is for sure, Jia Min doesn’t want his family’s Mo Yu to be like Jia She and Jia Zheng at all. Anyone in Jia Zhengzhong.
Someone like Jia Amnesty is a bastard, and someone like Jia Zheng is a good-for-nothing trash.
Jia Min didn't know which was worse, but according to the present situation, Mo Yu was not at all like Jia Zheng.After all, when Jia Zheng was young, he also spoke and acted in a serious manner, and sometimes he was pedantic and even like an old man. Such mischievous mischief and jumping up and down had absolutely nothing to do with Jia Zheng.But after hearing what Jiamu said just now, Jia Min's heart is in a state of turmoil, and he is afraid that his words will become a prophecy.In case the precious son she has worked so hard for is not stingy like Jia She, then she...
There is no need to live anymore.
No matter how you say it, this incident sounded the alarm for Jia Min. When she came to her mother's house later, she really left Mo Yu at home and only brought Dai Yu.In Jia Min's view, at least her daughter's temperament is guaranteed, and no one has heard that there are nieces who are like uncles.
After this incident, the biggest sequelae was not that Jia Min became vigilant, but that Xue Baochai hadn't shown up for two full months.Even a few sisters went to her together, but they couldn't coax her out.It wasn't until two months later that Baoyu's birthday was coming, which attracted Xue Baochai to go out.
But it is said that Baoyu's birthday was not planned to be a big deal according to Mrs. Wang's intention.Although Mrs. Wang is high-profile on weekdays, she has other taboos about children's birthdays.
Generally speaking, those who are older, especially those who have passed the sixtieth age, have to hold a birthday banquet every year, not only to do it, but also to hold a special one.Because most of the participants are the descendants of the elderly, and because of the elderly, the number of years is reduced every year. The more lively the festival, the more enjoyable it will be, and naturally the more people will be retained.On the other hand, there is really no need to make a big deal about children's families.Of course, special cases like Xisan, full moon, and hundred days are special cases.But Baoyu is nine years old this year, this is neither a full birthday nor a meaningful birthday, why bother?
It's a pity that it's useless for Mrs. Wang to object to this kind of thing alone. Although Jia Zheng's attitude towards Jia's mother has weakened in the past two years, he will not compete with Jia's mother on this kind of matter.As for the other side of the big room, no matter how much Jia Amnesty tossed about, he couldn't afford to smash against a stone.This matter is settled.
Then do it!
According to Jiamu's wishes, Baoyu had been staying in Lixiangyuan for a while, so he had to come to her for her birthday.Although Mrs. Wang was full of anger, she couldn't give in directly, so she let it go and sent Baoyu there the night before her birthday. —of course reluctantly.
When it was the right day, the Rongqing Hall was bustling with excitement for a long time, and Mother Jia didn't know what she had done. Not only did Jia Min bring Daiyu over, but even the branch of the Shijia came. The wife brought Xiangyun, and the second wife of the Shi family, Mrs. Chen, brought her son and daughter.
Speaking of this historian, the past two years have been full of fuss.Mrs. Baolinghou's wife, Mrs. Zhang, has status and means, and her natal family is reliable. Although she has only one daughter after several years of marriage, she holds the middle wife of the entire Hou's mansion and suppresses the second wife almost out of breath.The second wife, whose maiden name is Chen, is a descendant of Chen Yi, the Duke of Qi. She had a quarrel with Mrs. Baolinghou before she entered the house. Xiangyun was used as bait, which directly caused Jia Amnesty to come to the door to collect debts, and his own dowry was not guaranteed, and he was crushed to death when he entered the door.
It was no longer a dispute with Shijia, but the big house was unilaterally suppressing the second house.But the second-bedroom wife is not good, her stomach is up to the mark, and she started a few years later than Mrs. Bowlinghou, but now she has a son, a daughter and two children, especially the third-bedroom wife who just got married a year ago, that is to say, the second-bedroom wife The brother born is the only brother of the historian so far.
Mother Jia didn't know if she was really not afraid of things, or if she didn't know the inside story at all, she actually invited the two wives of the Shi family over in one go.But those two are strong-tempered, if you dare to invite me, I dare to come. Turning around, two carriages of the Shi family were blocked at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. The two wives each took their own children and went their own way. They were so indifferent that people looked sideways. .
This historian is here, the Lin family is here, can the Xue family who are borrowing in Rongguo Mansion come?Don't say that Xue Baochai was just ashamed, even if she was really injured at the time, she should go forward to have fun, let alone that she had a purpose in the first place.
"Baby girl, don't worry, I've been questioned before, the brother of the Lin family was detained at home by his parents, and he wasn't allowed to go anywhere, so he definitely won't come today. You, Don't keep thinking about it, maybe people will forget it after mentioning it, you just remember it. Also, we originally planned to let you enter the palace as the escort of the princess and princess. It may not be appropriate, especially since the Rongguo Mansion has already given birth to a concubine, I am afraid that your aunt is unwilling to help you wholeheartedly."
Mrs. Xue's family is also suffering and can't tell.
For Jia Mu's crow's mouth, she has personally experienced it, and even her two children have suffered a lot.Unfortunately, even so, she still has no plans to move out.The Xue family does not lack this house and courtyard, but what is lacking is people from the vigorous family.Don't look at Xue Pan is already a young man, but his disposition is like a child's, not to mention supporting the family business, just not getting into trouble is good.Mrs. Xue's family originally wanted to ask Jia Zheng to discipline her, but Jia Zheng refused, and she hoped that Jia Amnesty could help manage it. After all, the eldest brother and sister are much better than the second wife. She had no choice but to stay in Rongguo Mansion for more than two months, and she hadn't been able to connect with Da Fang at all.
As for Xue Baochai's entry into the palace, there has been no definite news.Mrs. Xue's family had to make two preparations, in case Xue Pan couldn't do her best, and in case Xue Baochai failed to enter the palace, then the only one she could rely on was her good sister, Mrs. Wang.
The only thing to rely on.
"I see." Xue Baochai responded lightly, neither saying yes, nor saying no, just lowering her eyes so that she couldn't see the expression on her face.
How could she not know the situation at home?In fact, as early as many years ago, when Xue's father realized that his only son Xue Pan was unreliable, he had already started to additionally train Xue Baochai.Helpless, men these days have various ways to make achievements, but women only have one, which is still full of difficulties and obstacles, and even if they win, they may not be able to be happy.
Xue Baochai admits that she is still a bit ambitious and wants to enter the palace for a try, but instead of being the companion of the princess and princess, she wants to directly participate in the general election.Helplessly, even sister Yuan from her aunt's family can only participate in the small election, so she has no choice.Up to now, I am afraid that even being the companion of the princess and princess has become a luxury, so how can she not complain?But who can she blame when she complains?In other words, instead of complaining every day, it is better to think carefully about where to go in the future.
"Baby girl?"
There is a saying that Mo Ruomu knows her daughter well, even though Mrs. Xue's attention is usually on Xue Pan, it doesn't mean she doesn't love her daughter.Especially in the past two months, seeing her daughter, who is usually full of confidence, looks dull and silent, she naturally feels uncomfortable.
He tentatively called Xue Baochai, and the wife of the Xue family sighed: "I know you are caring, but if there is a way, why don't I want you to enter the palace to give it a try. Especially this cold-eyed, familiar brother, unexpectedly No one is worthy of you, why should I not be in a hurry? Although your aunt's Baoyu has not yet decided her temperament, she is still very good. Our family has been out of shape since your father left. If you I don’t have to worry if my elder brother can have a future. I’m born...Baby girl, mother knows I’ve wronged you, but isn’t there nothing I can do about it?”
——I know that I have wronged you, but you still have to continue to be wronged.
Xue Baochai understood Mrs. Xue's subtext as soon as she heard it.To be honest, she is too lazy to blame her mother for being partial, and compared to other families, Mrs. Xue's family is not partial. How many other families can really treat their sons and daughters fairly?On the side of the Xue family, the biggest problem is the merchants. Now there is still a famous merchant with the name of an imperial merchant, and the old relatives are all there. It is extremely difficult for Xue Baochai to fly up the branch and become a phoenix. Some, it's not difficult.
Seeing that Xue Baochai was still silent, Mrs. Xue only said: "Today is a big day, and many families will come. Although most of them are sisters and sons, what are you afraid of when the wife is here? Just show yourself, let's It doesn't have to be spent on Baoyu from your aunt's house, if there is a good one, the other party will also like it, will I, a mother, stop you from making progress?"
"I see." The words are still old, but when he said these words, Xue Baochai felt a little more energetic.
Obviously, as a daughter of the Xue family who has been declining day by day, Xue Baochai must get married, and she must choose a marriage that looks beautiful.However, Mrs. Xue is not the kind of person who deliberately treats her daughter harshly. As long as the family is high enough, it doesn't matter who the other party is. Xue Baochai can choose.
It's a pity, that's what I said, but there are really not many choices.
Of the four major families in Jinling, the Wang family was supposed to be the easiest to marry, but now it can only be crossed out directly. Among the contemporaries, Wang Ren has already married a wife, and she is a famous shrewd wife; Fang only has one daughter, Xiangyun, and the second room has a son and a daughter, but the son is three years old this year, and the daughter is only a little over one year old;
In fact, according to Xue Baochai's idea, she prefers Brother Jing from Dafang.
Brother Jing was born in the first year of Baoyu's birth. Although the age difference is more than half a year, it is already ten years old.Xue Baochai is two years older than Baoyu, and was 11 years old at the time. It can be said that if he matches Baoyu, he also matches Jing.And even though Brother Jing is only the fourth son of the eldest son, he can't stand up to his father's ability, nor can he himself.Compared with the second son of Baiding Jiazheng, he must be the fourth son of Zhengyipin Diange University of higher family status, besides, Brother Jing registered in the study room at a young age, even if he is a wounded Zhongyong, With such a solid foundation, he will be able to find a fifth-rank official in the future.
The problem is, Da Fang didn't think about it at all. To be precise, Da Fang didn't even pay attention to Twelve's marriage. To the daughter-in-law.
There is no need to worry about the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, Xue Baochai is the one who is anxious!
At first, she hid in the house for two months, but now when she went out, Xue Baochai seemed to be in a lifetime, seeing that everyone had something to do, but felt that what she did before was a bit silly.Maybe she shouldn't have wasted so much time at all, even to get close to her cousin Wang Xifeng?There is also sister Ying from the big house, who is also a girl, even if they are a little older, with her ability, it is not difficult to make friends.
After entering the Rongqing Hall, seeing the pretty faces of the girls from various families, Xue Baochai's heart was full of alarm bells.
In terms of appearance, stature and even talent, Xue Baochai is not afraid, and everyone present is of noble birth than her, even if she is the eldest daughter of the royal merchant Xue's family, so what?A word of Shang would almost kill her.Fortunately, except for her, the people present didn't think so much. After all, it was just a birthday party for the second roommate of Rongguo Mansion, and all the people who came were young brothers and sisters. Who would think so much?
After all, there are really only the mother and daughter of the Xue family.
Because all the people who came were relatives-in-law and acquaintances, they only found acquaintances to talk to.On the other side of Lin's house, Jia Min brought Daiyu to accompany Jia's mother; Wang's family also came to join in the fun, and it was Wang Ren's fierce wife who came, but he only found his sister-in-law Wang Xifeng to joke and joke, occasionally teasing Xin'er, who was born by Wang Xifeng, said a few jokes about turning back and making a baby-marriage; the historian was even more capable, Mrs. Baoling Hou took her daughter Xiangyun to sit in the big house of Rongguo Mansion, and would not leave if anyone called her. Sister Yingying really likes Xiangyun, and Mou tried her best to make the little girl cry; or Grandma Zhen Youshi from Dongfu next door also came to join in the fun, but she quietly accompanied Nala Shu Xian.
After arguing for a long time, Xue's mother and daughter could only talk to Mrs. Wang.The question is, when can Mrs. Xun Wang not be allowed?Do you have to seize this day to talk?Of course, Mrs. Wang would not refuse, but people came to look for her from time to time, and the mother and daughter of Xue's family sat aside in embarrassment, and finally Tanchun came to chat with them.
Fortunately, the maid soon came to report that they could go to the theater, which eased the embarrassing situation between Xue's mother and daughter.But on this stage, male and female guests sit together, not completely different, but separated by a certain distance, but they can still be seen vaguely.
As today's birthday boy, Baoyu is surrounded by his father, brother, uncle, and a group of cousins, and he just wants to cry.
Looking at the female relatives sitting together in the distance, Baoyu really wanted to leave this group of elders behind and run to the female relatives to seek warmth.Unexpectedly, he really didn't have the guts, or in other words, he was frightened by Jia Zheng's three beatings that day.Fortunately, in the middle of the play, Jia Mu sent someone to call him over.
Jia's mother was very thoughtful, she felt that it would be inappropriate to call Baoyu alone, especially considering the trouble of finding Baoyu after Jia Zhenghui, Jia's mother specially called more people.
"Me?" Brother Jing looked confused, and he planned to squint for a while when he was not prepared, but was called by Jia's name.Looking up and seeing the narrow smile on his little brother's face, Brother Jing angrily shook off the claws that were about to slap his head, and said angrily, "Isn't this Baoyu's birthday? Why are you looking for me? If you don't go, I will Just stay here with dad and brothers."
"Don't say it's so heart-warming...Come on, if you tell you to go, you can go!" Twelve casually gave Brother Jing a headache, smiled so brightly, and specially lowered his voice and said, "Watch carefully Take some Baoyu, if there is something wrong, just cheat him hard, I support you!"
Pit Baoyu?
Brother Jing glanced at Baoyu, whose face was full of light. In fact, he was not keen on defrauding people, but when he thought of how many times Baoyu approached Daiyu before, scaring the little girl so much that she was about to cry, he suddenly felt Feeling a sense of justice: "Let's go, Baoyu hasten to go, let's go to pay respects to the old lady."
Saying that, regardless of Jia Zheng's expression, Brother Jing dragged Baoyu away.
Baoyu couldn't believe that things went so smoothly, so he didn't think about it at all, so he happily went to the female relative's side.In fact, a ten-year-old child is not too young to say that he is too young, but he is not too big. At least in the eyes of the elders, he is completely a child who has not yet grown up.Therefore, seeing Brother Jing and Baoyu coming over, the female relatives present didn't take it seriously. They still watched the show and talked.
But Baoyu rushed to Daiyu with a stride, but two steps away from Daiyu, a big horse fell to the ground.And behind him, Brother Jing quietly retracted his unruly foot, pretending to be concerned, and said, "Baoyu, what are you doing? It's not for Chinese New Year, and you don't even give red envelopes when you kowtow."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Jia's mother felt sorry for Baoyu, so she hurriedly asked Baoyu to lift him into her arms, looked him up and down, and asked for warmth.
Pian Baoyu is a forgetful person, and the original is not very good, he forgot it in an instant, stared at Daiyu with all eyes, and opened his mouth and said, "Sister Lin is going to live in the mansion today. If you want me to say, how nice is it to stay in the mansion after claiming sex and go home, with all the sisters and sisters together?"
Daiyu was silent for a moment, and then pretending she didn't hear this, she smiled and said to Brother Jing who was two steps behind: "I heard from my parents earlier that Brother Jing went to study in the study? How is it there, sir?" Can you be strict? Classmates...are they really royal family members?"
Brother Jing took a step forward, first saluted Jia Mu, then greeted Jia Min, and then smiled at Dai Yu: "It's just the same school, it's the same wherever you go. The master is strict, the so-called strict teacher." What's more, no matter how strict you are, can you be stricter than my grandfather and uncles? Especially my second uncle, if he is dissatisfied, he will beat his hands with a ruler."
"You were beaten?" Daiyu was frightened for a moment, but she never noticed Baoyu's subconscious behavior of putting her hand behind her back when Brother Jing mentioned "ruler".
However, even if Daiyu didn't see it, Jia Min saw it too, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and his disdain grew more and more.Although she felt very helpless about Jia Zheng, the second elder brother of her natal family, who became more and more useless, she had to admit that Jia Zheng was a gentleman, and if it wasn't for Baoyu who couldn't support the wall, Jia Zheng wouldn't be so bored as to use the ruler.On the other hand, it can make such waste as Jia Zheng feel unforgivable, how waste is Baoyu?
"No, I usually watch my uncle's cousins being beaten." Brother Jing said with a smile, "Actually, hand-playing is very fun, especially if you want to shake your hand but dare not, want to cry and shout Fearing that it would be worse, they held back their tears, but they didn't dare to cry loudly to beg for mercy... Tsk tsk, not to mention how interesting it is."
Jia Min couldn't help but glared at Brother Jing: "Little Jing'er, you look quite like your father." These words were really not compliments.
"Thank you, Auntie, for your compliment." Brother Jing responded with kindness, and seeing Baoyu approaching again, he took the initiative to say to Baoyu, "Last time, my second uncle gave me a set of policy questions. I have already finished answering and transcribing them. Once again, do you want to send it back to you?"
"No, no, no... old ancestor!" Baoyu quickly moved away from Brother Jing and ran to Jiamu's side, wishing he could shrink himself a little so that he could escape.
Seeing this, Mother Jia said helplessly, "Jing'er, don't keep scaring your younger brother, it's his birthday today."
Brother Jing nodded happily and said, "Okay, then I'll send it to him tomorrow."
Baoyu: "..."
Not to mention Baoyu's wilting appearance in an instant, but to say that the mother and daughter of the Xue family have been looking at this side.Baoyu's great hospitality to Daiyu, Daiyu's indifference to Baoyu, and brother Jing's jokes, which drove Baoyu to death without leaving anyone to talk about it...all were noticed.
Xue Baochai was silent for a while, and finally couldn't help tugging at Mrs. Xue's sleeves, turned sideways and whispered, "Mother, I really don't want to marry Baoyu."
It is said that three years old see old, although this is a bit too one-sided, but what if the other party is already nine years old?To be honest, let alone Xue Baochai, even the parents of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are not optimistic about Baoyu.Of course, they still have their eldest son Zhu Geer to rely on, and their clever little grandson Sun Laner, so they don't have to fight hard at Baoyu's end.But what about Xue Baochai?She didn't want her natal brother to be unreliable when she was not out of the cabinet, and her husband would also be unreliable after he was out of the cabinet.
No matter what, Xue Baochai still has a choice before the Xue family has been tied to the bandit ship.
"Baby girl..."
"Mother, Baoyu is unreliable. Rather than placing hope on him, it is better to think carefully about other people." Xue Baochai sighed in her heart. She knew that hope was slim, so she did not dare to speak out her true thoughts.But compared to Baoyu, she really likes Dafang's elder brother Jing more.
