The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 230 Jia Mu's Birthday [Part [-]]

[At the beginning of the month, EMMMM...forget it. 】

Although he had already made up his mind, when Xing Xiuyan arrived in Rongxi Hall, seeing the dazzling layout, he couldn't help but find himself in trouble.

Yesterday, it was Xing's arrangement secretly, and she acted in the dead of night, so she had the opportunity to meet Jiao Shun in private.

But now that the sky is bright and bright, she is a girl who has never left the court, and she doesn't even have a maid who can communicate, how can she talk to a foreign man?

In the middle of the dilemma, Lin Daiyu led Jia Yingchun to the front, and whispered: "Sister Xing, don't be too embarrassing, as the saying goes, one person counts the short and the other counts the long. Come up with a good idea!"

But it turned out that when she saw Xing Xiuyan frowning, she thought that Xing Xiuyan was still worrying about how to get out, so she simply pulled Jia Yingchun over.

This one is to comfort Xing Xiuyan, and the second is to help the two of them clear up their misunderstanding.

When Xing Xiuyan heard the words, she first glanced at Jia Yingchun, who had a calm expression and never showed any anger, and then whispered: "I have an important matter here, I'm afraid I will entrust it to my second sister."

As he spoke, he motioned for the two to follow him to a secluded place.

If it was just Xing Xiuyan and Jia Yingchun, no one would have noticed this scene, but Lin Daiyu has always been one of the focal points among all the sisters, so many people cast surprised glances and secretly wondered about the two sisters, the second sister and the younger sister Lin. , When did I get so close with Miss Xing.

Inside is Xue Baochai.

She shook her round fan lightly and smiled warmly, but there was a bit of doubt in her eyes.

Jia Yingchun was hostile to Xing Xiuyan, so she had already seen it, and even Lin Daiyu's sideways behavior, she had a clear understanding of it.

But why did the two sides suddenly become harmonious?

Did something happen that I didn't know about?
Not to mention how Baochai guessed.

However, Xing Xiuyan took the two daughters to find a secluded place, and he repeated what he heard earlier, without even hiding the fact that Jia She wanted to marry himself to the son of a merchant.

Lin Daiyu just listened to her beautiful eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, as if her three views had been severely impacted.

Jia Yingchun, the person involved, just lowered his eyebrows.

"How could Uncle be so unwise?!"

And after listening to it, Lin Daiyu was also the first to speak: "This good-natured in-law, if you insist on forcing her into the enemy's house, she will be dizzy too!"

As she spoke, she clenched her fists tightly with a pretty face.

Jia Yingchun also clenched her fists quietly, thinking of the future that she had been thinking about day and night, she was about to be forced to become an enemy by her parents, which showed the misery and helplessness in her heart.

however……

When Xing Xiuyan proposed that Jia Yingchun try to inform Jiao Shun about this matter, Jia Yingchun showed hesitation again.

"After all, it is what the master meant."

Lin Daiyu urged her again and again, before she expected Ai Ai and said: "How can a daughter disobey her parents' wishes? If the master and wife find out, I'm afraid I... and my cousin will not be able to please me."

Losing Jiao Shun as a "good match" made her heartbroken, but she never had the guts to resist Jia She and his wife for this.

"Sister, what do you mean by that?!"

Lin Daiyu was immediately annoyed when she heard the words, threw off Jia Yingchun's sleeves, and asked with a raised eyebrow: "Since my sister has promised each other with heart, and Brother Jiao has never betrayed you, you should help each other in the same boat, but why..."

Halfway through, seeing Yingchun standing there like a log, although her eyes were red, but she didn't intend to take any action at all, Daiyu stomped her feet angrily and said, "Forget it, since my sister refuses to come forward, I'll go and tell him—" ——It’s just that I will leave everything about my sister in the future!”

As he said, he flicked his sleeves and didn't look back.

Xing Xiuyan watched her go away, then looked at Jia Yingchun who was weeping silently like a goose, then sighed quietly, and then walked away with heavy steps.

After the two left, Jia Yingchun squatted down a little bit, buried her head between her arms, and let out a suppressed and painful whimper.

She just wanted to have a peaceful life, but why can't she be happy? !

…………

On the other side, Lin Daiyu rushed back to the flower hall in the west chamber angrily, and after a little calculation, she called Zijuan to ask about Baoyu's whereabouts.

The initial involvement in these matters was due to the affection of the second sister, but now the master has retreated, but Lin Daiyu has no idea of ​​getting out of the matter—at least she will never do so until she smashes the shameless schemes of her uncle. out of it.

But after all, she was not familiar with Jiao Shun, and if she wanted to contact Master Jiao Shun directly, it would be easy to attract criticism.

Therefore, I plan to pull Baoyu to be a middleman.

It's just that Zijuan didn't know where Baoyu was, and didn't even see the attackers, so he hesitated and said, "Maybe it's because I got up late? Or where did I get stuck?"

Hearing this, Daiyu went to the banquet to take a survey first, and saw that Baochai and Xiangyun were both in the hall, and said, "It's probably because he got up late—let's go, let's go and look for him, uncle just came back and that's it." I'm lazy, I think my palms are itching again!"

The two masters and servants hurriedly found Baoyu's yard.

Unexpectedly, when you enter the door, you will see maids and women all over the yard, looking like ants in a hot pot.

"Why is Miss Lin here?"

I didn't know what happened, Xiren rushed up to greet him, and forced a smile nervously: "But the old lady wants to invite the second master over?"

"The old lady hasn't looked for him yet."

Lin Daiyu scanned the room wonderingly: "What's the matter, it seems like everyone is in chaos."

"This...hey!"

Xiren thought that Lin Daiyu would have to help cover it up, so he didn't hide it, took her master and servant into the room, pointed to the empty jugs on the table and said helplessly: "Yesterday Qingwen found it at night. , the two of them hugged each other and cried for a while, the second master didn't sleep all night, and in the morning, taking advantage of us not paying attention, he drank a lot of fruit wine, and now he seems drunk... Sigh~ what should I do?!"

Lin Daiyu naturally knew about Qingwen.

At that moment, he picked up the curtain and went into the inner room without hesitation, and said to Baoyu who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and weeping: "Baoyu, is it true that uncle won't let Qingwen come back? Don't worry, wait until I accompany you to the old lady's place." I beg her old man..."

I don't want to say this before Baoyu cried out with a 'wow', fisted with both hands and smashed on the head, wailing: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! Don't dare, no Dare to mention half a word to the master, just like that... woo woo woo... just let her down like that! woo woo, I'm useless, I'm useless..."

Lin Daiyu was stunned on the spot.

If there was no matter about Jia Yingchun, she might not think too much about it.

But there was Jia Yingchun who retreated in spite of the difficulties and let her parents plot against her lover Jiao Shun, and now there is Jia Baoyu who shrinks back and gives up her sweetheart Qingwen without doing anything.

These two siblings...

Up and down the Rongguo Mansion...

Is it all like this? !
She suddenly felt a little dizzy, and staggered back two steps. Fortunately, Xiren Zijuan held her up in time, so she didn't fall down.

"What's the matter, girl?"

Xiren asked nervously: "Could it be that the smell of wine on Second Master's body smelled sour? Then you go out and have a rest first, let us open the window..."

"No need."

Lin Daiyu waved her hands, and forced herself to calm down and said: "You guys quickly feed him some hangover soup. If the old lady doesn't see him for a long time, she will definitely lose her temper."

Saying that, he headed out and walked out.

"Miss Lin, Miss Lin!"

Xiren hurriedly chased after him, smiled and warned: "You must help cover up, just say that he went to bed late yesterday because he was thinking about the old lady's birthday."

"Don't worry, I understand."

Lin Daiyu replied weakly, and went back to the flower hall in a daze, thinking about her thoughts silently, it seemed that she and Jia Yingchun had become a pair of dumb geese.

"Sister Lin."

After an unknown amount of time, Xing Xiuyan approached and apologized: "This matter has nothing to do with my sister, you are so tired... I should go and inform Brother Jiao."

"No!"

Only then did Lin Daiyu come back to her senses, she shook her head stubbornly and said, "Since I said I will come, I will come!"

…………

Jiao Shun originally thought of going to celebrate his birthday in the afternoon.

But after all, it was Qingwen's first marriage, and because she didn't think about food and tea for months, her body became weaker and weaker.

At the beginning, he relied on a self-defeating ruthlessness, and he still had three points of majesty in chess, but he was defeated before half a round.

Jiao Shun couldn't enjoy himself to the fullest, so he hurried to the Rongxi Hall with a sense of complacency and anger.

Originally, this kind of celebration was mostly held in the Dahua Hall, but because the beams and pillars of the Dahua Hall were removed to build the Grand View Garden, it was not good to always disturb the Ningguo Mansion, so it was changed to the Rongxi Hall.

Because Rongxi Hall was the place where the Duke of the State used to discuss matters, the decoration was very solemn and solemn. In order to dilute the atmosphere, Wang Xifeng ordered people to use dozens of bright red plain yarn to make hydrangea ribbons and hang them everywhere.

This item alone is an expense of nearly 3000 taels of silver!

Naturally, there is no need to say much about the rest of the extravagance.

However, Jiao Shun has long been used to the extravagance of the Duke's mansion, and he is content to be in it.

He was about to find Jia Zhen and Jia Lian for a few hangouts, but suddenly Zijuan stopped him and motioned him to go to a secluded place to talk...
