The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 288
Now that they had made up their mind, the sisters, together with more than a dozen maidservants, hurried to the back door of Rong Mansion.

By the time they arrived, the Jiao family had already received a notice.

Because Mrs. Xu didn't want to act like an elder in front of these brothers and sisters, and also didn't want to be too courteous and weaken his son's prestige, so he simply hid out, leaving only Xing Xiuyan and the maids to welcome him.

An ordinary concubine would naturally not be able to take on such a heavy responsibility, but Xing Xiuyan is related to everyone, so there is no need to worry about someone picking out the etiquette in person.

But he said that they met each other in front of the gate, and she was leading people to the East Chamber with neither humble nor overbearing, so Jiao Shun asked Shuan Zhu to bring back a wooden box, saying that the new card game was ready, and asked his aunt to lead the maids. Get familiar with it first, and have fun playing at night.

Others were fine with it, Shi Xiangyun heard that it was a new card game, so he asked a few questions curiously, and became more interested when he heard that this card game was different from ancient and modern ones.

So she clapped her hands and encouraged her: "I heard that the elder brother of the Jiao family has some fantastic ideas. I don't want to be able to innovate even the cards. It just so happened that we caught up. Why don't we all see and see together?"

Although Xing Xiuyan was on good terms with Daiyu, he also admired the straightforward and cheerful Xiangyun, not to mention that in front of so many people, it is not easy to refute her affection because of these trivial matters.

At that moment, Xing Xiuyan also smiled gently: "I'm just worried that there's nothing to entertain me. Since sister Xiangyun is interested in this 'Three Kingdoms Killing', we might as well try to play it - after all, this game has just been made. If there is anything wrong, please point it out, and our master can try to make improvements.”

One host and one guest all spoke, and naturally everyone would not disappoint.

So Xing Xiuyan ordered people to set down the round table, and at the same time opened the box in full view of everyone, and saw that there were twelve tablecloths on the top, the shape and structure of which were similar to those of later generations, but the text and graphics were all high-quality embroidery work.

Nearly [-] playing cards below were arranged in different categories. Shi Xiangyun picked up a few cards curiously, and found that the hands were delicate and smooth. Each of them has a different style.

Or bold, or graceful, or neat, or flying...

There are also several styles mixed and matched in it, and even after looking for a long time, there is no repetition. Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but was shocked: "How many painters have been used? Look at this coloring with brushes. Although it is not a master, it is still good. At home."

"My sister is so stupid today."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Master Jiao sees that he is an official in the Ministry of Industry, so what's the difficulty in mobilizing one or two hundred painters?"

It really made Baochai sure that this Three Kingdoms Killer could be made in just two or three days, precisely because Liu Changyou mobilized more than a hundred painters and craftsmen to work day and night.

Because these words imply Jiao Shun's use of power for personal gain, Xing Xiuyan hastily explained: "The workshop is miserable, and the craftsmen are often not free, and there are always people who gather to gamble and make trouble. Being able to replace those bets is not purely for my own pleasure."

These words can't stand up to scrutiny. The rules of the Three Kingdoms Killing are really complicated for the craftsmen, not to mention there are so many written explanations on it.

Fortunately, the girls didn't care whether Jiao Shun used his power for personal gain or not. Even Xue Baochai's hidden strategy was to show his attitude of alienating the Jiao family in public, and there was no intention of further investigation.

So everyone ignored these things and gathered around Xing Xiuyan, listening carefully to his explanation of the basic rules of the Three Kingdoms Killing.

"This thing is more complicated than the others!"

Shi Xiangyun was speechless when he heard that, and picked up the general card to check those skills: "Fortunately, the 'skills' on it have allusions, this is good, this is good, let's try it out!"

Sanchunchai, Dai Xiangyun, together with Baoyu and Xing Xiuyan, there were exactly eight people, so they formed a posture around the round table, and invited the tall and long-legged chess player to be the dealer of the cards, and Xiangling Yuchuan as the emcee of ceremonies .

In the first round, Yingchun was the protagonist, and she lost her life in a daze.

In the second game, Shi Xiangyun was the protagonist. She chose Cao Cao enthusiastically, but accidentally killed a loyal minister by mistake, causing Tanchun, the traitor, to have the last laugh.

Although he lost, all kinds of fun during the period made Shi Xiangyun lean forward and backward with laughter, read the lines of death according to the rules, and even urged the chess player to shuffle the cards.

The other person who is very interested is naturally Tanchun.

Except for the two of them, although others were not obsessed with it, most of their thoughts were put on the game.

But after Lin Daiyu was drawn as the lord in the third game, the situation changed. Seeing sister Lin being besieged by rebels, Jia Baoyu forgot all the rules for a while, desperately defending the lord loyally.

However, after the two rebels Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan tried their best to kill Jia Baoyu, this guy flipped over his identity card and saw that he was also a rebel.

Shi Xiangyun was annoyed immediately, threw the cards on the table, and said angrily: "Brother Bao, what are you doing?! It's not enough to favor her in the usual days, and playing cards is so messy, and you can't beat everyone." interest!"

Jia Baoyu knew he was in the wrong, and hurriedly quibbled and said: "Sister, don't be annoyed, I don't think the lord has never won, and always let the thieves get it, so I just think that black and white cannot be reversed..."

"Brother loves what he said!"

Hearing that he actually came up with the theory of good and evil, Shi Xiangyun became more and more unhappy: "Then if we play chess, shouldn't the black stones win the white stones?"

"This……"

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled by the theory of good and evil, Jia Baoyu had no choice but to find another way: "The beatings and killings are all done by rough people. For people like us, peace is the most important thing."

This is obviously difficult to convince the public.

But Xue Baochai saw him embarrassed, so he habitually acted as a peacemaker: "What Brother Bao said is not wrong. It’s good to be harmonious—it’s just that if this game is not serious, it will be boring.”

Because of Baochai's appearance, Shi Xiangyun couldn't continue to condemn Baoyu, but he refused to let Baoyu participate in the game again, pointing to his nose and saying: "You are useless, quickly replace it with someone else, so as not to ruin our game again." interest!"

Jia Baoyu got up awkwardly, and was about to find Xiangling to fight for him, but Lin Daiyu also stood up on the opposite side, and said with a cold face: "I'm tired, you guys are playing, I'll go back first—Sister Xing, I'll come back another day you."

Everyone thought she was trying to defend Jia Baoyu, and they looked at each other for a while, but they didn't know how to end it.

Only Jia Baoyu was happy to come from it, and he leaned forward and said with a playful smile: "Sister, don't worry, it's rare that everyone is interested, and I watch you play, it's the same."

She didn't want to, but was gouged out by Lin Daiyu, and she refused to say: "Whether I am annoyed or not, what has it to do with you?"

With that said, he turned his head and left the East Chamber.

Xing Xiuyan is a landlord, but because she is pregnant, she can't act rashly, so she hastily ordered Yuchuan to give it away.

"no need."

But Jia Baoyu said: "You guys are playing with you, I'll go ask Sister Lin what's wrong."

Before he finished speaking, he had already quickly chased him out.

When he got outside, he saw that the corridor was full of maids and women, so he was not in a hurry to talk to Lin Daiyu, and signaled Sheyue Qiuwen to stop Zijuan Xueyan, and then followed out step by step.

After walking about forty or fifty steps away, seeing no one was around, Jia Baoyu stopped Lin Daiyu with a smile on his face, lowered his figure and said, "Sister, what's wrong?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Sister Lin's catkin.

Lin Daiyu dodged to dodge, then forced him back with cold eyes, and then said with a sneer: "It's nothing, whatever, it has nothing to do with you!"

As he spoke, he bypassed Jia Baoyu and continued on his way.

"Sister Lin, sister Lin!"

Jia Baoyu chased after him and shouted a few times, seeing that Lin Daiyu turned a deaf ear to her feet and walked even faster. She became angry for a moment, stomped her feet and shouted: "Stop, I know you don't want to talk to me, I just want to say one more word." , from now on we will let go!"

If Lin Daiyu wanted to ignore him, and heard him say, "Just say one word, let go from now on", she had to stand still and say: "Just one word, say it quickly."

Jia Baoyu hurried to catch up from behind, and said to Lin Daiyu with red eyes: "How have we ever been separated since we were young? But now you only care about the sister Xing who is outside the four roads, but you ignore me for three days and four days missing!"

Speaking of this, he only felt wronged by all his viscera, organs, limbs and bones, so he pulled his hair and complained wildly: "I don't have a real brother or sister—although there are two, don't you know it's You and I are separated from each other? I also lived alone with you, and I only thought that I had the same heart as mine, but who knew that I wasted my heart for nothing, until I have nowhere to sue for grievances!"

Lin Daiyu originally thought that he had some high opinion, but she didn't want to vent her emotions wantonly like this again.

When listening to it for the first time, Daiyu was indeed shaken, but if this method is used again and again, the effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

Especially Jia Baoyu didn't know why she was annoyed until now, which made Daiyu unbearable.

Immediately, she saw her pretty face and said indifferently: "What on earth are you going to say? If it's just these things that hurt the spring and the autumn, then there's no need to say any more."

"you you you!"

Jia Baoyu saw that his heartfelt words were exchanged for such indifferent words, and he was so impetuous that he burned up and down, jumped up and down like a monkey, pulled out the psychic jade from his bosom, and smashed it hard. It fell to the ground: "I smashed this Lao Shizi first!"

Seeing him drop the lifeblood, Lin Daiyu subconsciously wanted to pick it up, but she soon stopped, ignored Jia Baoyu again, and walked on.

"Sister is really so heartless?!"

Jia Baoyu saw that this stunt was ineffective, so he simply kicked Tongling Baoyu into the bushes, and then chased after Daiyu again to block Daiyu's path, and asked with righteous indignation: "What's wrong with me? Or teach me, let me quit next time; or scold me or hit me twice, I will not lose heart!"

"Who knows that you always ignore me, make me feel confused, less out of my mind, not knowing what to do, and then die, and you are also a dead ghost. No matter what the eminent monks do, I can't be saved. It must be you. Only after explaining the reason can I be reincarnated!"

He was originally a young man, and he was always praised by others, but now he is full of grievances, so he thinks he has some kind of moral high ground, and instead regards Lin Daiyu as the culprit.

"You really don't understand why?"

Lin Daiyu's heart softened a little when she heard him cry out for catching the thief, but suddenly became cold again. She stared at Baoyu and asked, "I waited for you all day and night that day, why didn't you come?"

"me……"

This old incident hit Jia Baoyu's weak spot immediately, and the emotions he had been moved by himself were annihilated by five or six points. He didn't dare to scream heartbreakingly anymore, and only begged bitterly: "I have paid for this too." There are countless nos, my sister will spare me this experience, I will not dare again in the future."

Lin Daiyu just sneered: "Who wants you to pay for it? I just ask you 'why' you didn't come!"

The word "why" is highlighted in this statement, because what Lin Daiyu wants is not an apology at all, but Jia Baoyu's ability to do what he says!
"This……"

Jia Baoyu was at a loss for words for a while, seeing that sister Lin was about to go around again, he couldn't help shouting aggrievedly: "Did my sister think I was lying to you?! I did find my wife that day and said bluntly that I don't want others in my life. Just be nice to my younger sister! I even begged my wife to tell Brother Jiao about Sister Bao again!"

Although she had already guessed the ending, after hearing this, Lin Daiyu subconsciously stood still, looking at Baoyu with a pair of water-cut pupils full of hope, and asked in a trembling voice: "Then what did aunt say?"

"T-Madam said..."

When asked about the key point, Jia Baoyu's voice suddenly weakened, and his eyes flickered.

Seeing that he was going to gossip about him again, Lin Daiyu couldn't help urging: "Say it quickly! Do you have to be anxious to death?!"

At this time, Jia Baoyu's energy and spirit had already weakened visibly to the naked eye, and he said dejectedly: "My wife said, let me, let me not spoil my sister's reputation, and delay my sister's life."

"Then how did you answer?"

"My wife, she..."

Jia Baoyu shyly avoided Lin Daiyu's gaze, but besides shame, there was also anger and depression in his heart.

I thought to myself: I don't hesitate to quarrel with my wife, what does my sister want from me?
Lin Daiyu is so smart and understands him so well, she immediately saw what he was thinking, so her last hope turned into disappointment, and she sighed quietly: "Yes, if the trouble continues, my aunt will definitely be annoyed , maybe even the uncle and the old lady will be alarmed, the root cause of this matter is your fault, if it is really going to make a big fuss, what else can you do?"

"exactly!"

Seeing that Sister Lin finally began to be considerate of herself, Jia Baoyu straightened her head as if pecking at rice, and said happily, "Sister Lin really knows my heart!"

"Of course I know you."

Lin Daiyu sneered: "Peace is the most important thing. A family should always live in harmony. What's there to argue about?"

Jia Baoyu wanted to nod, but suddenly realized something was wrong, and then he understood why Lin Daiyu suddenly left the table angrily.

At that moment, he hurriedly changed his words: "No, no, no! I must fight, I must fight! Now it's just a long-term plan to slowly figure it out, sister, wait a minute, when this matter is over, I will..."

"I've been waiting, I've been waiting!"

Lin Daiyu bit her lower lip lightly, and said sadly and solemnly: "I'm just a little girl, I can't see such a long-term view, and I don't know what Xu Xu Tuzhi is. If the second elder brother really has such a long-term strategy, he doesn't need to explain it to me." What, it won't be too late to come see me when the results are known."

Saying that, she wished Jia Baoyu a blessing, and said resolutely: "Before that, let's follow what the second elder brother said just now, and let's put our hands aside first."

"Lin, Lin..."

Jia Baoyu chased after a few steps, but he didn't know what else to say to Daiyu after catching up. In the end, he could only watch Sister Lin disappearing at the corner of the inner wall in a daze.

He stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly stomped his feet and said angrily, "Come on, I'll fight for you to see!"

As he said that, he rushed straight to Mrs. Wang's courtyard angrily.
