The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 439 A Banquet in the Golden Tower [Part [-]]

[I wish you all a happy holiday, Lao Ao has adjusted his work and rest time, this month's full attendance will definitely not be missed again! 】

At the same time as the two servants were preparing to devour the Lord.

Xue Baochai also left Hengwu Courtyard with Shi Xiangyun.

Originally, the two had already made an appointment to go to Zhuijinlou for a banquet, but Xue Baochai remembered the result of the marriage discussion last night, so Shi Xiangyun, who was coaxing and coaxing, went ahead and found the Qingtang hut by himself.

At that time, the sun was already high, but when Baochai arrived at Aunt Xue's room, she heard from the servant girl that Aunt Xue tossed and turned last night and didn't fall asleep until midnight, so she still didn't wake up at this time.

Xue Baochai became more and more worried that something went wrong yesterday, but she didn't want to disturb her mother's rest, so she sat down outside and chatted with the maids and servants.

Just like that, about half an hour passed, and it was almost [[-] o'clock in the morning] before I heard Aunt Xue's lazy and sweet calling from inside.

Baochai immediately opened the door and walked in, and saw her mother was half lying and half leaning on the pillow, her eyes blurred like Zhang Feizhang let the brocade slip off, revealing her snow-white arms that seemed fatter on both sides.

"Mom is awake."

Xue Baochai stepped forward and asked with concern: "I heard that my mother did not sleep well yesterday. Could it be that the Mei family made some unreasonable demands yesterday?"

Only then did Aunt Xue realize that it was not the servant girl who entered the door but her daughter. The reason why she suffered from insomnia yesterday was naturally not because of the Mei family.

But since the daughter guessed this way, she sighed along the way: "I want you to be sure, but Mei Hanlin is really deceiving people too much. He insists on forcing us to keep everything simple and not let us make arrangements with great fanfare. I wish that girl Qin would marry her in silence." It’s better to go to Mei’s house.”

"And other things?"

Xue Baochai couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, she followed her original train of thought and speculated: "Is it because I'm afraid that if you want to make arrangements, it will take too long?"

"It's fine if you're worried about this, but... ouch~!"

Aunt Xue supported the bed with her hands and tried to sit up straight, but she suddenly let out a cry of pain, and her complexion changed drastically.

But it turned out that when she returned home yesterday, she couldn't fall asleep with all kinds of thoughts, so she turned the wood carving out to play with, and when she finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, she forgot to put the wood carving away.

As a result, I just supported it with my hand, and it just overwhelmed the wood carving under the quilt, and based on the feedback from the hand, it seemed that something was broken.

"what happened?"

Xue Baochai was taken aback by her, and hurriedly asked with concern.

Although the daughter always thought it was a relic left by her husband, Aunt Xue still subconsciously didn't want her to see it, so she tried her best to restrain the urge to lift the quilt to check what happened, and forced a smile: "It's okay, I just didn't want to see it." Watch out for sprained wrists."

As he spoke, he held his right hand with his left hand and rubbed it back and forth.

Xue Baochai naturally saw that her mother's words were insincere, not to mention that she had vaguely heard something snapping under the quilt just now.

Thinking of the more and more abnormal behaviors of her mother recently, she wanted to find a reason to lift the quilt to check, but before she could take action, she suddenly thought of some indescribable object, and her oval face immediately swelled Blood red, the body that was leaning forward slightly, also took half a step back as if avoiding a snake.

From an emotional point of view, she felt that her suspicion was absurd, how could her mother use such things?

But if I analyze it rationally, in the novels I have read, the ones most often associated with such evil things are those women who have been widowed for many years?
Calculating with my fingers, it has been six or seven years since my father passed away...

Thinking about my mother's sluggish appearance, there seems to be another explanation.

The more Baochai thought about it, the more she thought about it, and her heart was beating wildly with mixed feelings, but she tried to pretend nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Why is mother more irritable than us? If it still hurts, you might as well rub some medicated oil for bruises .”

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Aunt Xue thought she had cheated her daughter, and while she was relieved, she quickly changed the topic: "Let's talk about seriousness first, I told that Mei Hanlin yesterday, even if it's serious, you and I My brother is helping with the arrangements, so the wedding will definitely not be delayed—who knows that Mei Hanlin still refuses to let go, and he refuses to say why, he just asks us to keep a low profile and keep it simple."

"How could this be?"

Xue Baochai tried her best to return her attention to the right path. After thinking for a while, she suddenly asked again: "Mom, let's recall carefully first. Does Mei Hanlin want to keep things simple, or do we want us to keep a low profile?"

"This one……"

Aunt Xue didn't understand the difference between the two, but since her daughter asked, she still thought about it seriously, and then said with some uncertainty: "It seems that the latter talks more."

"now it's right!"

Xue Baochai immediately sneered: "I'm afraid his request is not aimed at us, but at the Rongguo Mansion."

Aunt Xue became more and more puzzled: "What does this mean?"

"Did Mom forget that the Mei family insisted on asking Xue Biao and Baoqin to move out of the Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible? Now that they want to keep a low profile, I'm afraid they don't want to have anything to do with the Rongguo Mansion."

After a pause, Baochai said firmly, "Brother Jiao is probably responsible for this!"

"That's what happened."

Aunt Xue finally came to her senses, she slapped her forehead with her hand and said: "No wonder later Brother Tiao said that we should take care of it carefully, and it would be better to invite less irrelevant people to wait, but Mei Hanlin didn't object any more—but it turned out It has nothing to do with what people are saying..."

After clearing her mind, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and said angrily, "Brother Tiao heard the reason, but why didn't you tell me? It made me confused all night!"

The matter was finally settled, and the mother never realized the mystery, but why did she toss and turn all night?
It seems that it is...

Xue Baochai blushed even more, but she excused Xue Biao by saying: "Firstly, he is caught in the middle and it is difficult to speak clearly, and secondly, most of the time, he is worried that mother will be annoyed—if mother is really angry, she will scold him when she sees him." Also makes."

As he said that, he couldn't help but sighed again: "But brother tadpole's giving in blindly, when will he be big? If there is no way to retreat, then..."

She stopped talking suddenly, and asked with her pupils shrunk: "Auntie wants to recognize girl Qin as a daughter, has mother ever mentioned it to Brother Taddle?!"

"This……"

Aunt Xue recalled it for a while, then shook her head and said, "I never mentioned this to him—what's the matter, isn't this matter still undecided?"

"It's almost settled!"

Xue Baochai hurriedly paced back and forth in the room, analyzing anxiously: "Erfangyuan didn't have much contact with the Rongguo Mansion, and with Mei Hanlin's request as an excuse, it's justified not to invite people from this mansion to the scene. But once Girl Qin recognizes Auntie as a godmother, now that Auntie is not in the capital, Auntie and her old man will attend the wedding due to emotion and reason, so maybe she will help with the planning at that time!"

"In this case, how can Mei Hanlin agree? At that time, I'm afraid Brother Tiao will be caught in a dilemma. Either he will greatly offend the Rongguo Mansion, or he will fall out with the Mei family..."

Aunt Xue was still blaming Xue Biao for lying to herself, but now she heard that, she immediately worried about her nephew and niece.

Immediately asked: "Then what should I do? How about I discuss it with your aunt and let the matter of recognizing relatives be dismissed."

"How to push?"

Baochai smiled wryly: "Not to mention whether my aunt will be upset or not, just that the old lady has always been dissatisfied with her daughter. Now that girl Qin has given up on the old lady's temper, it would be a good thing for us - if at this time we Come forward to refute her old man's opinion, I'm afraid it will become more..."

Although Baochai did not clarify the point, Aunt Xue also understood that her daughter was worried that the old lady would dislike her more and more, and that she would not be able to get along with her when she married next year. Don't worry about it!
She naturally hopes that her daughter can live a better life...

But this is related to the happiness of the niece for the rest of her life. After thinking about it, Aunt Xue still gritted her teeth and said: "But you can't just sit and watch Brother Tiao and Girl Qin crash into this dead end, right? How about I discuss it with Aunt Ni, maybe there will be What's the best way to have both..."

"mom!"

Baochai interrupted her mother's words, and her face became serious and resolute: "Up until now, the Mei family has only been demanding, why have you ever cared about how our family feels? So what benefits does this marriage have for us and the second wife?"

After talking about the pros and cons, she added reasoning: "Before girl Qin got married, the Mei family would pick and choose. If we just submit blindly, the Mei family will think we are weak and can be bullied—after girl Qin gets married... After entering the door, wouldn't he care about our Xue family's face and treat girl Qin generously? Could it be that just because of uncle's death, he insisted on pushing her into the fire pit?!"

"This……"

Aunt Xue was always benevolent and innocent, so she would rather suffer some grievances than make things difficult for her nephews and nieces.

But after listening to her daughter's analysis, even if she chooses to compromise, the niece may not have any good results in the end, and she suddenly hesitated in her heart.

Just at this moment, I heard a burst of laughter like a silver bell coming from outside, and then Xue Baoqin pushed the door in with flying eyebrows, and complained half-truthfully: "It's agreed to go to the Zhuijin Building to get it all together, Sister Pian is sticking to Auntie's side, hmph~ she must be intentionally greedy for those of us who don't care!"

As she said that, she was about to throw herself into Aunt Xue's arms and act like a baby.

Aunt Xue opened her arms subconsciously, but Xue Baochai suddenly grabbed Baoqin's neck with her hands, dragged it out, and said, "Mom, sister Xing is hosting a banquet at Zhuijinlou today. What's the matter? Wait until I come back in the afternoon to discuss."

She did this, naturally, because she was worried that Xue Baoqin would accidentally toss that Mr. Jiao out!
Seeing the two sisters go out in a hurry.

Aunt Xue sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then she suddenly remembered something, quickly lifted the quilt and found a wooden carving from inside, seeing that the cowherd had one leg broken, she couldn't help feeling very distressed.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and got up, and called the servant girl to find some fish maw glue, glued the broken leg together again, used a pair of earrings as a splint, and wrapped it carefully with white thread.

After everything was settled properly, she was relieved. Looking at the ugly wooden sculpture wrapped in 'leggings', she couldn't help but burst out laughing. She poked the cowherd's head lightly with her tender white finger and said softly. Said: "Have learned this lesson, let's see if you dare to do mischief again in the future!"

…………

After Xue Baochai forcibly pulled Baoqin away, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

It really scared her just now!

If the things hidden under the quilt were really found by Qin girl, my mother would be ashamed to death, and even she would have no face to face others.

After she regained her composure, she asked Baoqin, who was pouting and complaining, "Is anyone here at the Zhuijin Building?"

As soon as Baoqin heard this, she immediately forgot about her neck that was hurt by her sister, and hurriedly bent her green fingers and counted them one by one: "Sister Xing and Second Sister need not be mentioned, Sister Lin, Sister Shi, and Third Sister , Brother Huan, and Brother Cong are all here, only the fourth younger sister and second brother Bao are missing."

"Brother Huan went too?"

"It seems that Brother Cong dragged him there."

Baochai suddenly realized that Xing Xiuyan and Yingchun were joint hosts, so it was not easy to leave out his half-brother Jia Cong—Wang Xifeng had already come to congratulate Jia Lian on behalf of Jia Lian the day before yesterday, so she would not come to join in the fun.

And because they are both unfavorable bastards, Jia Cong and Jia Huan usually get closer, so it is reasonable to pull Jia Huan to be their companion at this time.

So he asked again: "Then the gift we ordered was delivered?"

"It hasn't been delivered yet. Brother Bao just went to ask about it. As for the fourth sister, I heard that there is some morning class to be done, so I will arrive later."

"Hey, the fourth sister is too obsessed with these things, and she had a fight with sister-in-law Zhen a while ago, is it really possible to be a clean one?"

"That's the only way to be interesting. If everyone carved it out of the same mold, wouldn't it be boring?"

"You girl..."

The two sisters just walked and chatted like this, and walked side by side in the direction of Zhuijin Tower.

…………

at the same time.

The back door of Rongguo Mansion.

Li Gui, Jia Baoyu's nurse brother, led two young men holding gift boxes out of the carriage, rushed to the front doorman, raised his chin, and asked casually: "What's the matter with the little nun outside? If you want to beg for food and drink, you can just beg for some leftovers from the stove and give it to her, what does this chattering, crying and screaming look like?"

"You do not know!"

The concierge pouted to the outside, and said, "That's Miaoyu's person—the Miaoyu who practiced in Changcui Nunnery before, and was kicked out by his wife for offending Grandma Zhen because of her bad words. Now they I don't know why I got into trouble, so I ran to fight the autumn wind again."

As he spoke, he spread his hands together: "Think about it, I can still let her in to make trouble for the person that the wife drove out herself?"

When he heard that it was Miaoyu's person, Li Gui immediately changed his face and said angrily: "So it's her! Our second master has been spoiled by that Miaoyu. Recently, people who are delusional are always talking nonsense. I No matter how many times I tried to persuade the second master, he still refused to listen - if you follow me, you'd better drive him away quickly, otherwise the news will spread inside, I'm afraid the wife will be annoyed again!"

The concierge had received Jiao Shun's 'reminder' early in the morning, now that Li Gui said the same thing, he no longer hesitated, immediately greeted his companions and coaxed and frightened Jingyi out of half a street.

He also threatened that it was the second master Bao who had his life, and if Jingyi dared to pester her again, her legs would be broken on the spot!
