[Red House] No one knows that it is lychee

"Sister Bao!" Lin Daiyu rushed to the front, "Sister Bao!"

Xue Baochai also saw Lin Daiyu, and she smiled dignifiedly just now, but now she smiled sincerely.She held Lin Daiyu's hand back: "Sister Yu'er!"

The two looked at each other, although they hadn't seen each other for many years, and the other had changed, but at this moment, they both felt like they were back when they were young.

"Sister Yu'er, you've grown up." Xue Baochai looked at Lin Daiyu with a lot of emotion in his heart, "This appearance is even more touching than when I was a child."

Lin Daiyu also reciprocated: "Sister Bao is the same, but she is still as stable as before."

"Okay, girl, let's go in and talk," Xue Yan interjected, standing beside her with a smile, "It's still a little bit sunny outside, and it won't be good if it's exposed to the sun."

Lin Daiyu nodded, and then entered the room with Xue Baochai.

The two sat opposite each other, and there was silence for a while.After the excitement of meeting just now, the two of them couldn't find anything to talk about after years of not seeing each other.

But soon, Lin Daiyu spoke again: "Sister Bao, why did you come to the capital all of a sudden?"

Xue Baochai smiled: "If you say that you went to the capital suddenly, it's not sudden. I'm going to the palace to run for election this time, and the nobles in the palace are selecting talents for praise. I... want to try."

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised: "Sister Bao wants to participate?"

Lin Daiyu also knew about this, but her father was a high official in the frontier, and the Lin family was from a scholarly and noble family, so Lin Daiyu didn't have to participate in such a small election.

What she needs to participate in is the three-year general election draft.

If Xue Baochai is selected, she will accompany the princess or princess as a tutor.

Xue Baochai nodded: "Yes, this time I came to the capital for this matter. I just don't know if I can do what I want."

Being an accompanying student for princesses or princesses sounds like a good job, but those nobles in the palace don't know their temper, and they don't understand their temperament. They say they are accompanying students, but they are actually serving as slaves for others.

Lin Daiyu knew that Xue Baochai looked gentle, but there was a sense of arrogance in her heart.Someone like her is going to participate in the primary election...

Lin Daiyu asked cautiously: "But... the big brother of the Xue family?"

Xue Baochai smiled wryly, did not speak, and acquiesced.

Xue Pan also lived in the Lin family with Aunt Xue back then, but as a man, he lived in the front yard all the time and had no intersection with the back yard. Lin Daiyu had only vaguely heard that the eldest of the Xue family Brother, some are ignorant.

"Uncle Lin helped our family a lot back then, and my brother has changed a lot after being raised by uncle Lin, but..."

Xue Baochai sighed slightly: "Elder brother is still not good at business. Although the family situation in the past few years can still be maintained, I just know in my heart that if this continues, then..."

Xue Baochai didn't finish speaking, but just shook his head.

Lin Daiyu understood what she meant, and also understood the pain in Xue Baochai's heart.She didn't say anything, but reached out and held Xue Baochai's hand: "...is there anything I can do to help?"

Xue Baochai came back to his senses, and smiled comfortingly at Lin Daiyu: "It's okay, big brother has grown a lot in the past few years, and it's all thanks to Uncle Lin's advice."

After talking about this topic, the atmosphere in the room became a little dull.Just in time, the lychee came.

"I've met Miss Xue." Li Zhi didn't know what happened just now, but it didn't affect her feeling that the atmosphere in the room was not right. "I knew that Miss Xue was coming, and our girl told me to prepare food early. Miss Xue."

Xue Baochai and Lizhi are also acquainted, she smiled and said to Lizhi: "So nice? I knew that sister Yu'er is the best to me."

Lizhi waved her hand slightly, and all the little maids brought up the cages one by one, and put one in front of the two girls.

"Today we are making crab dishes," Lizhi introduced to them. "Crabs are cold in nature, so we put ginger in them. Girls can eat them without worry."

The slightly dull atmosphere was dispelled by the fragrant food. Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu ate the crab together, full of praise for the craftsmanship of the lychees.

"I haven't seen you for so many years, and your craftsmanship has improved a lot," Xue Baochai said, "It's strange that when I saw my sister just now, I always felt that my sister's face is a bit rounder."

Lin Daiyu said coquettishly, "Well, Xue Baochai, you dare to tease me, and spit out all the food you just ate."

For a time, everyone enjoyed themselves.

Liu Xianglian looked at the young man in front of her, tilted her head and said nothing.

The boy had already eaten a lot, but he continued to eat.Liu Xianglian was a little frightened when she saw how he was devouring, so she reached out and snatched the bowl from the boy's hand: "It's alright, alright, put it away first, don't eat it."

Who knew that the young man was like a dog protecting food, and he immediately bit Liu Xianglian's hand.If it weren't for Liu Xianglian's quick eyesight and quick hands, a piece of flesh would have been bitten off by the young man.

Liu Xianglian was still in shock, he frowned and looked at the young man in front of him, but reached out and snatched the bowl from his hand again.When the boy was about to attack him, Liu Xianglian grabbed his neck with her empty left hand and pushed him down on the dining table.

The young man was suppressed like this, but he didn't resist, but said vaguely: "...I won't eat."

Only then did Liu Xianglian let go of him.

"Okay, I've already eaten, shouldn't you tell me why you followed her today?" Liu Xianglian looked at the young man, carefully scrutinizing his eyebrows and eyes, "What do you mean...familiar with her?" people?"

The boy blinked, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I... I seem to have seen my mother before she died."

"She came to my house and gave me sweets," the young man pursed his lips, "that's all I remember."

Liu Xianglian felt a little funny: "Just because of this, you followed her? Want to eat?"

The young man nodded, his black and white eyes were clear, Liu Xianglian could see that he was not lying.

...It seems that it was really a false alarm.

Liu Xianglian breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the boy again.He thought for a while and said, "After you finish eating, follow me."

The boy suddenly became vigilant: "What do you want to do?"

"Can I sell you?" Liu Xianglian also looked disgusted, "There is no meat all over, what can I do?"

"I'll find you a place to go, so you don't have to starve in the future." Liu Xianglian said, "It's just going to be a little bit harder, can you bear it?"

The boy's eyes burst into light: "Can you eat enough?"

Liu Xianglian was stunned for a moment, then felt helpless: "I can eat enough."

Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu kept getting together, they chatted about what happened in the past so many years, if one of them didn't pay attention, it was already late.

Just when the two were reluctant to leave, Mrs. Wang sent someone to deliver a message.She wanted to keep Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai to live in the mansion for a while, but now that things have turned around, Xue Baochai doesn't have to go back to her home for the time being.

"That's great," Xue Baochai smiled happily, "Yu'er is free here too, why don't I stay with Yu'er for one night?"

Lin Daiyu naturally had no objection, and the two left hand in hand affectionately.

Lizhi still didn't need to be on night duty today. After serving the two girls to wash up, she went back to her room.

After all, Xue Baochai still lived in Rongguo Mansion, but it is estimated that he will not stay for long. Xue Baochai will soon enter the palace to participate in the election, and I have not heard of Xue Pan's bullying. I think this time, it should be smoother. Bar?

When Lizhi was in a daze, he suddenly heard the sound of tuk tuk coming from the window.

Li Zhi turned over on the bed and became slightly awake.She looked at the window helplessly, and after struggling for a while by herself, she finally got up and opened the window.

I saw the black myna come in from the window, and landed on Lizhi's shoulder familiarly.Lizhi walked to the table, grabbed a handful of melon seeds for mynah, and then took the paper off mynah's feet.

Mynah jumped to the side and began to eat melon seeds happily.It is a little tired today, after all, things are not the same weight as usual.

Today's paper is a bit big...

Li Zhi unfolded the paper and looked at it. He looked relaxed at first, but gradually became dignified following the content of the note.

After she finished reading, Lizhi immediately brought the paper to the candle and lit it.Seeing the note gradually burning, Lizhi narrowed her eyes.

—Let’s go and have a look.
