Prince of the Red Chamber and his father

"Why are you so angry, girl? What can I do now?" Wang Xifeng has ordered people to clean up in the garden, and put Baoyu and Baochai's things in there.

"Why did I get angry? It was your mother who ordered the second elder brother and elder sister Bao to live in." Although she knew that Zijuan was worried for her own sake, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but retort.

"The girl wants to go in and live, who dares to say anything?"

"Even if others don't say it, they will think about it in their hearts. Even if they don't want to, I don't want to live in it."

"Sister Lin is here, so I'm just waiting for you. Sister Bao is the host, and she wants to entertain the sisters in Hengwu Garden." The master and servant were talking when they saw Xiangyun come in and smiled.

"Why is Miss Yun here?" Seeing her rushing in, Zijuan was startled, didn't she just say something about Miss Bao?

"What? I can't come anymore?" Shi Xiangyun went back this time, and her uncle and aunt told her that the old lady didn't know why, and she sent people to Qingxu Temple one after another in the past two days, saying that the Dragon Boat Festival would go there in person for the palace. When the empress is holding a funeral ceremony, Taoist Zhang will naturally mention the marriage between Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu on that day, and even prepared a golden unicorn to test the old lady.When the marriage is completed, it is not certain who is the host and who is the guest!

"Girl talking nonsense, why is Yun'er serious about being angry?" Lin Daiyu was surprised, Shi Xiangyun's recent visit as a guest was more and more different from the past, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, and he choked when he saw anyone.

"It's not that I'm talking about Sister Lin. You still have to take care of what you should take care of in the future. It's okay to offend me. If you offend Sister Bao, I'm afraid it will be difficult in the future."

The empress's letter to historians also heard about it, and they were more looking forward to the marriage between Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun.Presumably the old lady would not let that merchant girl marry in, because it would be detrimental to Brother Bao's future.Secondly, we can't let the Jia family control everything in the hands of the Wang family.Now there is Wang Xifeng in the first room, and Mrs. Wang in the second room. If there are more daughters from the Xue family, they might as well be renamed the Wang family.The old lady probably wanted a family member of her natal family by her side.

When Shi Xiangyun heard what his aunt said, he was still a little worried. Sister Lin was still there, and when she came, she was so overwhelming that she was loved by the old lady like a treasure.But her aunt reassured her, saying that Lin Daiyu was an orphan and her wife didn't like her, even if the old lady did it for her own good, she wouldn't marry her.After all, she is helpless, and after a hundred years, the old lady will not be taught by others?It's better to hire someone outside, Rongguo Mansion will be her natal family in the future.With Miss Lin's character and talent, if she gets married well, she may have time to take care of Jia's family in the future, isn't it the best of both worlds?Just talking about the mother's letter this time, didn't the old lady let Lin Daiyu move in?I'm afraid that rumors will hinder future marriage discussions.

So sister Bao's reputation is gone?This handbook is a little subtle, and the old lady's approach is even more confusing.Shi Xiangyun's recent marriage proposals are much more sensitive than in the past.Although they are cousins, they can be relatives after all. The lonely man and widow live in the same garden, and there is no one else around.Although Sister Convenience Bao and Second Brother are together, something feels wrong.It's a pity that I have a home in the capital, otherwise I can stay with me.

Shi Xiangyun once asked his aunt, if the mother preferred elder sister Bao, would he still be able to compete?Shi Xiangyun was a little conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that sister Bao was really kind to him, but on the other hand, he was unwilling to let his second brother out.She didn't want to be told by her aunt that the old lady wanted to make Xue's family a concubine, which stunned her for a moment.To be a concubine?Good girls?How can it be!

Although Sister Bao loves to play in the second elder brother's room, she has always been dignified and dignified, and she is the daughter of the Xue family, so how could she be a concubine?I don’t want my aunt to say that the Xue family has long since fallen. Aunt Xue is a worthless person. She blindly hugged the money and offended the entire family of the Xue family. This time she went to Beijing to attach herself to the Jia family. Order them to move the yard, can't they be driven away?Besides, Miss Bao is old enough, and no one has come to propose marriage. I'm afraid it will not be easy to marry outside.

Shi Xiangyun was wronged for Xue Baochai, but at the same time he felt relieved, thinking of how kind sister Bao was to him, and thinking that when sisters get along in the future, he must not wrong sister Bao.If the sisters can be together, the second brother can also be together, what to do with the entanglement about the status, it is the same in my heart, I wonder if sister Bao thinks the same as me.

Lin Daiyu turned pale when she heard this, how could she not understand the meaning of Shi Xiangyun's words, isn't it that Sister Bao will be the grandma in charge of this mansion in the future?

"Sister Yun is here too? Go into the garden and have a look. Sister Bao has arranged a banquet in Hengwu Garden, please come over." Seeing that Lin Daiyu hadn't come into the garden for a long time, Jia Baoyu hurried to the old lady's yard Come and find.

"Sister Lin refuses to go over, let's go."

"The weather is long, so it's better to go out for a walk. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is still reserved for my sister, just waiting for you to live in it." Jia Baoyu was dragged out by Shi Xiangyun, and turned to persuade Lin Daiyu.

"I heard that the Elder Master has been unwell for the past two days, Miss Yun, is she going to have a look?" Is Miss Yun insane?Zijuan was dazed for a moment before recovering. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was crying again, she dared not bring up the matter again, and advised her to go to Jia's amnesty courtyard to find Yingchun.

"Let's go, it's meaningless to stay here." After a while, there will probably be people coming to ask and urge me, and some people will talk about whether to go or not, so it's better to hide in the uncle's yard for a while.

Ji Huaiyuan was really ill, and worried about Yingchun's marriage.

Years ago, he had an idea to find a reliable family for Yingchun before the real Jia She came back.

But he didn't dare to make friends with the old clans of the aristocratic family. He was afraid of falling into the trap, so he could only wander around the capital with Yinfeng, going around for half a year, taking care of a lot of nosy things, but Yingchun's family hasn't found him yet. .Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival will be one month away, the father and son will definitely be able to go back before the Dragon Boat Festival. A few days ago, he was so anxious that his mouth was full of cannonballs.

When Lin Daiyu went in, she saw Lian's second elder brother serving his uncle to drink water, as if he was a kind father and a filial son.

"Miss Lin is here? Are you looking for your second sister? She is playing chess with Brother Cong in the study."

After Lin Daiyu said hello, Ji Huaiyuan said in a hoarse voice.

"Why is Uncle sick? Did you ask for an imperial physician?"

"It's not about welcoming the spring. According to me, it's better to pick a family at random than the Sun family, right? The one I saw in the restaurant last time seemed honest and honest, and he was the eldest son of the family. "Yinfeng was a little impatient.

"What do you know? Your second younger sister doesn't like to be a housekeeper. It's troublesome to be the eldest daughter-in-law. You can't pick someone whose family background is too expensive, so as not to bully your sister, and you can't pick someone whose family is too poor. Your sister has rich clothes and rich food. After all these years, I didn't work as an old mother for others, and I couldn't have many brothers in my family. There are also fights among sisters-in-law..." Ji Huaiyuan rambled.

"Well, you might as well find a nunnery and let Yingchun never marry for the rest of her life."

"The nun's nunnery is not clean. Do the four girls still read those Buddhist scriptures in the past two days? I need to find an opportunity to talk to her."

The father and son were usually open-minded, and they didn't realize that they couldn't speak in front of a girl who hadn't left the cabinet.Lin Daiyu blushed a little when she realized it, but she didn't quit, wanting to know how the eldest uncle and the second brother arranged the marriage of the second sister.

"We need to find someone who knows how to play chess, so that the couple can talk..." Ji Huaiyuan said to himself.

"It's all about playing chess in the capital to recruit relatives." Yinfeng said casually.

"Hey, this is a good idea. Open a chess hall for your sister in the capital... What does Yu'er think of this idea?" Ji Huaiyuan thought hard for many days, and now his eyes brightened.

Ji Huaiyuan has become acquainted with Lin Daiyu recently. He is a design student, and Lin Daiyu's taste is extraordinary and refined. The two of them occasionally comment on the current clothes and accessories, so they subconsciously regard Lin Daiyu as a colleague. Just ask her for an opinion or two.

"Eldest uncle is in trouble, why don't you let Yu'er ask the second sister." The idea of ​​opening a chess hall is novel, and the second sister is crazy about chess skills. She went out for a walk a few days ago, and when she came back, she asked where she bought this chess book. The chess board was made to order, which chess hall did I go to?I wonder if this idea will please her?

"What Yu'er said is true." Ji Huaiyuan came to his senses now, what he was talking about was Yingchun's lifelong event, and he had to listen to her opinion, but Lin Daiyu had already focused all his attention on the chess hall.

After Lin Daiyu made this suggestion, she was concerned about Ji Huaiyuan's body, and was sent by Yinfeng to the Yingchun Room.

"Sister Lin is here, and Uncle is sick, so we can't go out to play. We've been suffocated for the past two days." Ba Ye was playing chess with Yingchun, Xichun had nothing to do, and complained.

"Didn't the fourth sister go to the garden?" Lin Daiyu asked in surprise, it's fine if she doesn't go to welcome the spring, after all, she is from the big house, although the fourth sister is from Ningfu, she has to look up to the old lady every stitch.

"The third younger sister asked me to go with her. She wanted to watch Brother Huan and refused to live in the garden. She was afraid of offending his wife and Xue's family, so she wanted to curry favor with Sister Bao and Second Brother. I didn't need it until my uncle recovered from his illness. , I told him that I want to move in and be with my second sister."

"Girl, you've become more and more open-mouthed these days. It's good to just hang around like this, and no one will drive you out. Even the second sister, it's not justifiable to move here. Why make things difficult for the eldest uncle." Lin Daiyu persuaded.

While the two were talking, Yingchun and Ba Ye finished a game.

"I'm going to the East Mansion, will my fourth sister go with me?" Eighth Master asked Xichun after eating two pieces of snacks and drinking a cup of tea.Since the eldest brother came back that day, he has been living in the East Mansion under the pretext of illness, and he doesn't know what plans he has in mind.

"Say hello to big brother for me." There were so many messy things going on in the East Mansion, Xichun frowned when she heard this, and she hadn't seen her sister-in-law coming over recently.
