The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan.

Xue Baochai sat at the table, resting her chin on her hands, her eyes were slightly blurred.

It had been more than ten days since Jia Jue left Jia's mansion, and she felt a faint longing in her heart.

Only after Jia Jue left did she know what kind of position he occupied in her heart.

She looks forward to his return every day.

"Miss."

Just when she was in a daze, her personal maid, Ying'er, came in from outside the door.

Xue Baochai's beautiful eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "But he's back?"

In the past few days, after finishing the liberal arts exam, she sent Yinger to inquire about Jia Jue.

Ying'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss, I'm afraid he's the only one in your heart."

Xue Baochai blushed and said angrily, "Chew the maggots again, and watch your belly carefully!"

Ying'er giggled: "Miss, it's not that he's back, it's that Mr. Zheng is back. He said that the third master went to the palace after the exam, and His Majesty wants to keep the third master to stay in the palace for a few more days."

"En." Xue Baochai replied, her beautiful face was full of disappointment.

She thought Jia Jue was coming back soon, but she had to wait a few more days.

"Miss, it's enough to know his itinerary. So much time has passed. Is there still two days left?" Ying'er persuaded.

Xue Baochai sighed slightly: "That's the reason."

The truth is this truth, but loss is still unavoidable.

Seeing her like this, Ying'er couldn't help asking: "Miss, do you know what the third master thinks?"

Xue Baochai frowned slightly, and shook her head lightly: "But I don't know."

"Miss, you should ask the third master to know about this matter. Let's see what he is thinking. Miss is not the only one who is hot." Ying'er said.

"But how do we do this?" Xue Baochai asked with a blushing face. She couldn't be asked to ask Jia Jue herself.

Ying'er smiled complacently: "Miss, leave this matter to me, and I'll go find out what he has to say."

"This, I'm afraid it's not very good." Xue Baochai hesitated. Jia Jue is very intelligent. Ying'er will definitely be spotted by him if she goes to spy on him like this. At that time, I don't know what he will think, will it be because of this? And look down on her.

"What's wrong with this, miss, you can just wait at ease, and leave this matter to me!" Ying'er said with a smile.

Xue Baochai was a little moved, but still had some concerns, but at this moment, a voice came from outside the door:
"What's up with you?"

After finishing the words, I saw a woman walking in the door. It was Xue Baochai's mother, Aunt Xue.Behind her was a maid carrying a food box.

Ying'er laughed quickly and said, "Go back to Madam, Miss wants to eat pork knuckle, I'm going to the kitchen."

"What kind of pork belly, my daughter should have something light to eat." Aunt Xue said lightly, and sat beside Xue Baochai.

"Daughter, why haven't I seen you playing in Baoyu's courtyard these days?"

Xue Baochai replied indifferently: "Mother, what are you talking about? I'm from my daughter's house, so how can I always go to his courtyard?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "You are your own siblings, not outsiders, so you don't pay much attention to it."

Xue Baochai shook her head: "Mom, what you said is wrong. Men and women are different after all, even if they are brothers, we have to avoid suspicion."

She was very clear about Aunt Xue's purpose in saying this, but she had someone in her heart, so how could she get close to Jia Baoyu.

Aunt Xue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly smiled again: "Okay, okay, you are right."

With that said, she took the food box from the maid and put it on the table:
"Here are pastries from the south of the Yangtze River. You can help mom go and send some to the young lady and the young master."

Xue Baochai glanced at the food box and shook her head: "Mom, I'm not feeling well, I'd better let someone else deliver it."

She saw it very clearly. Aunt Xue asked her to deliver pastries to Miss and Young Master, but she actually wanted to create a chance for her to get along with Jia Baoyu.

Of course she won't send it.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue frowned, she thought for a while, and asked bluntly:

"Are you at odds with Baoyu?"

Xue Baochai shook her head: "Not at all."

"Then why do you avoid him like this?" Aunt Xue asked in surprise.

Xue Baochai looked at Aunt Xue and said seriously, "I just don't want others to misunderstand."

Her words were almost a showdown to Aunt Xue, she didn't want to have any special relationship with Jia Baoyu, let alone marry him.

How could Aunt Xue not hear it?She frowned and asked:

"What's wrong with Baoyu? He is the son of Mr. Zheng, and he will inherit the family business in the future. You have followed him, and you will have a good life. Besides, his mother is your aunt, her own family, and you will not be spared in the future." How comfortable it is to live without the pain of establishing rules."

The so-called establishment of rules means that the elders live in daily life, and the younger ones stand beside them.

Specifically, it is about the daughter-in-law who wants to serve her mother-in-law, and the concubine who wants to serve her in front of the main house.

In many cases, the mother-in-law and the main house will deliberately make the daughter-in-law or the concubine suffer some hardships in order to establish prestige.

Xue Baochai said lightly: "Mom, Brother Bao and I only have the feeling of brother and sister, and have no intention of being male or female."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "What is this? I think back then, Master and I had never met before marriage, didn't we have a good life?"

Xue Baochai took a deep breath, and replied Aunt Xue's words:

"I'm afraid I won't be able to learn Mom's patience and temperament."

Aunt Xue was anxious and angry when she heard the words: "I have already discussed this matter with your aunt, and the only thing left is for the master Zheng and the old lady to nod."

The implication is: Your opposition is useless!It's up to the elders to decide.

Xue Baochai's face instantly turned pale as snow when she heard the words. She didn't expect that Aunt Xue had already discussed this matter with Mrs. Wang.

Her lifelong event has been decided just like that!

"Daughter, you and Baoyu have a golden and jade marriage, a match made in heaven. From now on, there will be good days." Seeing this, Aunt Xue urged her earnestly.

Marrying Xue Baochai to Jia Baoyu was the result of her deliberation. Regardless of family background or character, Jia Baoyu was pretty good. Xue Baochai marrying him was not only good for herself, but also very beneficial to the Xue family.

Therefore, she has been advocating the saying of "a golden jade marriage".

Xue Baochai forced herself to stand up, and walked to the back room: "Mom, I'm not feeling well, first, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Words are useless, she can only express her heart with actions.

But she only took two steps, but she suddenly felt the world spinning, and she fell to the ground.

"Miss!"

"daughter!"

Yinger and Aunt Xue exclaimed together, and hurried to her side.

They helped Xue Baochai up, but found that she had passed out.

"Quick, find a doctor!" Aunt Xue turned pale with shock.

Ying'er ran out quickly, startled and flustered, and looked in the direction of the imperial city:
Third Master, come back soon!
