The Double Soul of Red Mansions

When Baoyu came back from school the next day, she yelled that the sisters had opened a poetry club and wanted it herself.As soon as this side answered, the maid in front of the door came in and reported: "Old lady, the lady sent someone to say that the wife of the wife's family has come to our house with her brothers and sisters, and the wife has already gone out to greet her in person. gone."

"Old ancestor, we're going to add a sister again. You send someone to bring Xiangyun here to live. Wouldn't we have fun together?" Baoyu laughed when he heard this.

Tanchun then interjected: "Brother Bao just said that he was going to start a poetry club here, and Aunt Xue's sister came here. It's not a coincidence. Now Xiangyun is the only thing left."

Daiyu was silent at the side, looking at the beaming maidservants in the room, she felt even more resentful in her heart.The Xue family?It's just a family of merchants, even if there was Ziwei Sheren in the early years, it was just the word "Huang" added before Shang.Now listening to what the maid said, Mrs. Wang actually opened the door to greet her. Sure enough, different people have different fates. There is no one in this grandmother's family who values ​​herself as much as her mother said.The second aunt is in charge of the house, and even her younger sister is superior to others. It can be seen that there are really no rules in this mansion, and there is no official position, so the main door can be opened?Dai Yu said that the more she looked at it, the more she felt that etiquette was not good.Of course, she admitted that she was a little bit angry, after all, she was really chilling for this mansion after going through this step by step.

"Grandmother, Yu'er is going back to her room now." Daiyu stood up with a smile and said, "This body has not yet expired, so I might offend the guests."

"There's no need for Yu'er to avoid it here. Aunt Xue won't come here. Your second aunt will take care of her." Mother Jia smiled and held Daiyu in her arms, "It's really painful Yu'er. It really hurt my grandmother."

After comforting Daiyu, Mother Jia called the servant girl and said with a smile, "Go and tell the second wife, please stay here and let us be closer."

As soon as Jia's mother finished speaking, Baoyu began to be happy here. After a while, her younger sister called out, and then her older sister called out. Daiyu couldn't help but feel that the child definitely didn't take his brains out today.

Mrs. Wang brought Aunt Xue in here, and she was relieved knowing that Xue Pan's lawsuit was upheld by Jia Yucun.Needless to say, when these sisters meet each other, they have mixed feelings of sorrow and joy.After talking about Qikuo for a while, he led a visit to Jia Mu and offered all kinds of rewards.With Jia Mu's words, Mrs. Wang arranged her sister's family in the Lixiangyuan on the southeast corner.

He met the furniture fellow, and he took care of the seats to meet the wind.The sisters sat down together and naturally had endless things to say.

Xue Baochai is a new guest today, so the sisters naturally surrounded her to talk.Daiyu and Yingchundan sat at the side, saying a word from time to time to keep the atmosphere from becoming cold, one of them was resentful in his heart, he had a little temper and was unwilling to talk to others, and the other was Er Mutou who always pretended to be stupid. It's common behavior, but everyone feels it's normal.After all, it is rare for Daiyu to be interested in everyone's topics on weekdays. As for Yingchun, she knows it all too well. Er Mutou is not groundless.It's just that Xue Baochai came here for the first time, and he was a little confused, wondering what he did wrong to make the two girls in Jia's mansion unhappy.

"This time, I don't know what the sisters like, so I decided to bring gifts for the sisters. I don't know if the sisters like it?" Learn more about the situation of the sisters in Jia's house.

Yingchun murmured that she liked Baochai's gift very much, while Daiyu nodded her head directly.

"The sisters are really cute." Xue Baochai can speak, and it is not too much to say that they are so indifferent, but she said sweetly, "The old lady is good at molesting the sisters. It's not like me, I'm used to talking and laughing on weekdays, and I can't stop for a moment."

Daiyu's mind is very sharp now, and she is also very good at observing people. After a meal and a few days of getting along, she has her own understanding of this sister of Aunt Xue's family: she has a sweet mouth, and she is the smartest person she has ever met. The tactful Wang Xifeng is not an exaggeration, and Tanchun, who is a little cautious on weekdays, is simply incomparable with Aunt Xue's sister.Originally, Daiyu was a little disgusted by how everyone had so many minds, but after seeing these impressions, after Lin Daiyu met Xue Pan, she understood why this sister of Aunt Xue's family developed a character that is now shrewd and calculating.Orphans and widowed mothers, still guarding a big business, if the elder brother saves trouble, the worst thing is to meet an elder brother like Xue Pan.

And because of Xue Pan, Daiyu even felt a little sympathy for Xue Baochai. It has to be said that Daiyu's mood is becoming more and more erratic now.

"Sister Lin, why are you in a daze? Let's go to Lixiangyuan to find Sister Xue." Tanchun smiled and took Daiyu's hand and said. "Second sister and fourth sister have already gone. I heard from Baoyu yesterday that Xiangling is really handsome. It's no wonder that Xue's brother killed her because of her..."

What Tanchun said again, Daiyu didn't want to listen anymore.Long before Aunt Xue came, everyone in Jia's house knew that when he first came to Beijing, Xue Pan beat a person to death for a girl.Daiyu is no longer the little girl she used to be, although she also knows that in the martial arts, it is normal for you to die and die, but it is really nothing to change to Xue Pan who destroys people's marriages and robs others by force. Good impression.Originally, Miss Xiangling, not to mention her marriage, could be regarded as a regular wife. In Lin Daiyu's eyes, Xue Pan was a waste of space even if she was dead.

Being led by Tanchun out of Jia Mu's yard, the two walked around the corridor and came to Lixiangyuan where Aunt Xue lived now.As soon as he entered the room, he was surrounded by maids and women, and Tan Chun smiled and winked at Daiyu when a little maid came across.

Daiyu knew that this girl with the rouge red between her eyebrows, the size of a grain of rice, and a Jiangnan-like smile was Xiangling. Because everyone came from Jiangnan, Daiyu felt a little pity for Xiangling.

"Miss San and Miss Lin are also here. Our girl and a few girls are already sitting inside, and she told me to go out and have a look, saying that if you don't come, she will go to the old lady to beg for someone." Xiang Xiang Ling smiled and went forward to help the two of them raise the curtain inside the house, and said to Xue Baochai inside the house, "The two girls are here."

As soon as Daiyu entered the door, she smiled and said, "Xiang Ling from Sister Xue's place is really beautiful."

"Look at Yu'er's mouth. With Zhu Yu in front of you, no one in the whole family would dare to say something like Peugeot." Xue Baochai said with a smile. This place is also free, here in Jia's mansion, accompanied by sisters, Xue Baochai's life here is happier than before.

"Sister Xue, if the second sister-in-law of Lian hears your words, she will definitely not follow you." Lin Daiyu has now learned to divide the problem into two, she will not think too bad of the sisters who are playing together, but Similarly, if these sisters really did something wrong to her, she would not be merciful.

"Your mouth, once you say it, I am not a human being inside and out." Xue Baochai smiled and bowed, "My sister will forgive me."

"Then let me spare you for now." Lin Daiyu smiled mischievously, pointing to the empty cup on the table with her index finger and said, "We have come all the way, and sister Xue doesn't want to enjoy a bowl of tea?"

"Xiangling, don't serve tea to Miss Lin and Miss San." Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Let the beautiful people from Lixiangyuan pour you a bowl of tea today. I want to see if Miss Lin can taste the tea." what a difference."

Being ridiculed by Xue Baochai, Daiyu didn't refute. She took Xiangling's tea with a smile and put it on the tip of her nose, saying, "This tea is really different."

Baochai knew that Daiyu was making fun of what she had just said, hugged Xichun beside her and smiled, "When I came to my aunt's house, I realized that there is also a sister Lin who is like a fairy here, not only is she beautiful, but her mouth is also beautiful. Awesome. I really can’t find another one.”

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "I said I got something good, so I just watched it eagerly. Sister Xue, why don't you show us?"

Xue Baochai waved her big maid, Ying'er, to get something, and said, "It's not something rare, it's just that the store bought some new things from overseas two days ago, I thought it was interesting, so I stayed here For the sisters to wear and play on weekdays."

Ying'er smiled and went forward and put a box on the table and opened it: "These are all high-quality beads, and I didn't get much in all. My girl said that the quality of these beads is rare and good, and she just bought them." Keep it for my sisters to play with."

"You're the one who talks too much, girl." Baochai said with a smile, "It's just some pearls. Whether the sisters want to make jewelry or grind them into powder for daily use, they are all good."

"This color is really good." Tanchun said with a smile, "Then I will have the shame to ask Sister Xue for more."

Seeing everyone's smiles, Tanchun interjected again, "This Baoyu is arguing that my ancestor wants to take Xiangyun over tomorrow. If there is something good here, I will ask for it for her. Normally in that house, It's not easy for her either."

Baochai hurriedly said yes, and asked Ying'er to bring five purses, and divided the pearls in the box into five.But now Daiyu has some changes towards Tanchun.Regardless of whether Tanchun is suspected of flaunting herself intentionally, at least when there are good things, she can still think of Shi Xiangyun in the Shifu. Daiyu also knows a little about this girl who only listens to her name but never sees her. She is a legitimate daughter, but her parents are both dead. Usually, her uncle and aunt are in charge of the house. Although she is a young lady, her life is not as good as that of the big maid in Jia's mansion.Speaking of Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu was still a little bit embarrassed. It turns out that a child without parents, no matter how noble their status, is still a worthless weed.
