The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 749
Behind the desk, Xue Baochai held the collection of ci in her hand, straightened her graceful body, and stared intently at the pages of the book with her beautiful eyes, as if her whole mind was attracted by the content on it.

But if you take a closer look, it's not difficult to find that her pupils are dilated, and her eyes are not focused on the book at all.

Although Aunt Xue has tried her best to cut off the rumors outside, but who is Baochai?As early as when the "dead wife" eulogy on the snowdrift was discovered, she had already expected that she would become a laughing stock.

The tighter the security at home is now, the more it confirms her guess.

When she was in the Grand View Garden in the past, who knew that she cherished feathers the most, and would not let others talk about even the smallest things?
Now, somehow, he has become a buffoon in the jokes of the market...

This makes Xue Baochai feel as if a knife is being twisted in her heart all the time, but firstly, in order to reassure her mother, and secondly, she does not want to show embarrassment in front of others, so she deliberately pretends to be calm.

In just a few days, it is not an exaggeration to say that the days are like years.

So much so that she had to use more makeup to cover up the haggard face - you must know that when she was in the Grand View Garden, she was used to being famous for her lustrous and delicate skin, and she didn't like those leaden flowers, so she always had a plain face.

At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps woke up Baochai, who was in a daze. She turned a page of the book as if nothing had happened, and then looked up at Yinger who walked in.

Since that night, Yinger's position has taken a 180-degree turn—although the people around her were angry with Baoyu's actions and most of them changed their attitudes, Yinger's changes were obviously different from others.

Xue Baochai knew that she had misunderstood something, but this kind of thing would only get darker and darker. Besides, since Qingwen exposed the complaint, she never dared to reveal Lin Daiyu's affairs to Yinger.

"girl."

Holding a letter in both hands, Ying'er went to the table and handed it to Baochai, explaining, "Uncle Jiao just came, and he brought a letter from Grandma Jiao."

As he spoke, he couldn't help sneering: "I heard that Second Master Bao was at Jiao's house, and because he heard that he lived in the yard where Miss Lin used to live, he cried and called Sister Lin every day——hmph~ two days ago, I didn't know what to do. I was crying about Qin Zhong, and now I am crying about Miss Lin, this is not the same as..."

"Okay, don't mention him again."

Xue Baochai stopped her words, looked at the letter in his hand, a little doubt flashed in his eyes.

It's not surprising that Shi Xiangyun wrote a letter to herself. She is now a month old, and she is more and more restrained by her mother-in-law Xu. comfort yourself.

But that's the problem, she just wrote a letter the day before yesterday, why is there another letter now?

And it was delivered by Brother Jiao himself?
Thinking of Jiao Shun's "confession" that night, Xue Baochai had some vague speculations. After opening the letter and going through it again, it turned out that although the letter was in Shi Xiangyun's name, it was actually Lin Daiyu who was inviting her to continue writing "Farewell My Concubine". "s story.

If he didn't know Lin Daiyu's current situation, just seeing this letter, Xue Baochai might mistakenly think that Lin Daiyu was deliberately mocking him.

But now, a person who hides his name and becomes a concubine, and a person who seeks benevolence and wins benevolence has become a laughing stock. He is also a fallen person in the world, so what is there to be suspicious of? In Lin Daiyu's view, Xue Baochai's current situation is far worse than her own; From the perspective of Xue Baochai, who pays attention to status, the situation of the two is only between brothers.

So after reading this letter, Baochai was more disappointed. What kind of alliance between wood and stone, golden and jade marriage, looking back now, apart from being absurd and funny, it faintly looks like a curse, and the source of this curse is naturally. It must be Jia Baoyu.

She couldn't help but secretly imagined that if she had chosen Jiao Shun and given up Baoyu to Lin Daiyu, what would be the situation for the two of them now?

"Girl, girl?"

At this time, Yinger's call interrupted her thoughts again, and when she raised her head, Yinger said again: "There is one more thing. The eldest grandma and the third girl came just now, and they said that the empress in the palace gave the reward, and said that this time Going home to visit relatives, one is to visit the old lady who is not feeling well, and the other is to meet the new daughter-in-law who just passed through the door."

Baochai frowned when she heard this.

These words sounded kind, but in fact they concealed the meaning of pressure.

Originally thought that Baoyu did such a thing, Rongguo Mansion should relax, who would have imagined...

Since marrying Baoyu, this is not the first time she has been under pressure. Every time she has to choose to compromise to a certain extent, which also makes her depressed all the time after returning to Rongguo Mansion.

For this reason, a feeling of "unreconciled" gradually accumulated in Baochai's heart—she took the overall situation into account during the interrogation, but why did she always ask for perfection every time?Could it be said that taking into account the general situation, he will be bullied by others? !

And now, Jia Yuanchun's pressure has undoubtedly brought her unwillingness to its peak!
She clenched her fists and bit her teeth lightly, and it took a long time before she let out a long breath and said, "Go tell your wife for me, and say that I will return to Rongguo Mansion early next month."

Even if she is unwilling to the extreme, what can she do, the pressure from Concubine Xiande is still something she dare not defy at this stage.

"girl."

Although Ying'er also understood that this was an inevitable choice Xue Baochai would make, she still couldn't help but feel aggrieved, but so what if she became angry again?Even if the girl gets close to Uncle Jiao, it is impossible to borrow his strength on this.

Hey~
Back then, it would have been nice if the girl had chosen Uncle Jiao. The third grade was in her life, and the mother-in-law doted on her husband, so she didn't have to worry about family affairs.

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world after all.

After sighing, Ying'er went to pass on Baochai's decision.

And Baochai stayed alone in the study for a while, then wrote a reply letter to "Shi Xiangyun", promising to continue writing "Farewell My Concubine" with her.

…………

at the same time.

After completing the task of delivering the letter, and having a secret appointment with Aunt Xue at dusk, Jiao prepares to go home by the way.

I didn't want to bump into Jia Baoyu with a bitter face as soon as I arrived at the door, and Jia Rong who came to pick him up.

Seeing Jiao Shun, Jia Rong hastily stepped forward with a smile on her face and gave a deep salute: "I don't think I can see my uncle——When will my uncle be free to come and sit at our house, so that we can enjoy his good fortune?" ?”

What he really wants to be infected with is the 'pregnancy' air.

In the past, I hoped that Mrs. Xu could conceive, it was more to counteract Brother Xiong, but now that Jiao Shun has become a real and nameless minister of the orphan, Jia Rong is naturally more eager to use this to tie up this backer.

"Next time, definitely next time."

Just as Jiao Shun just said a few perfunctory words, Jia Baoyu came up next to him, grabbed his sleeve and begged, "Brother Jiao, can you go home with me?"

Thinking of how emotionally he mourned his late wife Qin Zhong, Jiao Shun felt goosebumps all over his body, he hurriedly broke away from his hand, shook his head and smiled, "You have to face it, you always have to face it." Faced with it, I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you forever."

He breaks away here, but when he leans down, Jia Rong takes Baoyu's arm, which is a relief.

As a fellow-person, Jia Rong is very considerate of Baoyu's actions - who can not love a lovely person like Qin Jingqing?

Seeing that Jiao Shun didn't respond, Jia Baoyu said with a mournful face, "It's good to be able to protect me for a while, and when my wife calms down, I will naturally be able to avoid the pain of flesh and blood——Brother, it depends on your usual affection Come on, help me this time!"

Although he didn't stretch out his hand to pull this time, it still made Jiao Shun feel a chill.

For fear that he would entangle him in the street and bring down his innocence—Jiao is not afraid of other bad reputations, but he absolutely does not want to be contaminated by this kind of good.

So he had no choice but to nod and said: "Come on, let's go, for the sake of the third sister, then I will accompany you for one more time."

Baoyu was overjoyed, as if he had won the gold medal for avoiding death.

After all, even if he doesn't know much about it, he can vaguely feel the status quo of yin and yang shifting between Rongguo Mansion and Jiao's family, so as long as Jiao Shun is willing to step forward, the master and wife will definitely sell him some face.

So Jiao Shun went back to the mansion and said a word, and they rushed to Rongguo mansion with the two of them.

Before he could enter the door, Jia Baoyu secretly said that it was a fluke, because when Gein heard that Mrs. Wang was going to pick him up, Jia Zheng specially sent Qin Xian to wait in front of the door. before.

Hearing that his father had invited him, Jia Baoyu felt a war between the two, and looked back at Jiao Shun pitifully.

Thinking of his ambition towards Xue Baochai, Jiao Shun felt a little guilty towards him, so he took the initiative to say: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to see your uncle, it just so happens that there are some old rules in Zhan Shi's mansion that are not clear, and I want to ask for advice." .”

Baoyu seemed to be pardoned, but his heart was full of regrets, thinking that it would be great if the Jiao family hadn't moved out, then he could pull the banner as a tiger skin at any time.

Jia Zheng had already prepared the family law, and only waited for Baoyu to come, so he had to show him some color.

But seeing Jiao Shun walking ahead, he had no choice but to put down the stick in his hand, and greeted him, "Changqing is not serving the public in the yamen, how come you have time to send this rebellious son back?"

Jiao Shun bowed his hands and said with a smile: "I just wanted to ask my uncle about some things, but it happened that my aunt sent someone to take Brother Bao back home, so I followed uninvited."

Jia Zheng glanced at Baoyu sullenly, then stepped in and said, "This is really a coincidence. I just have something I want to discuss with you."

When they got inside, the two of them took their seats as guests and hosts, but Jia Baoyu didn't dare to sit, and stood shyly behind Jiao Shun, using him as a shield.

Little did he know that seeing his irresponsible appearance, Jia Zheng became more and more angry, but it was not easy to explode in front of Jiao Shun.

He took a deep breath, and then Jiaojiao said: "The empress wrote in the morning, and specifically mentioned Yun girl, but I don't know if it will be convenient for my nephew? If possible, you might as well attend with Yun girl."

In fact, Jiao Shun had participated in the family visit two years ago.

But at that time, his status was not so high, and he was not related to the Rongguo Mansion, so he was just helping out, but he was not allowed to see Concubine Xiande.

But now it's different, even if he didn't have this idea himself, it is impossible for Jia Yuanchun to ignore him, the real pillar of the Rongguo Mansion, that's why he mentioned Shi Xiangyun many times in his letter.

"This……"

Jiao Shun actually didn't want to get too close to the concubines at this time, especially since Jia Yuanchun was currently in a place of suspicion, but was rejected and disgusted by the emperor.

But on second thought, since Concubine Xiande chose to use power to force Xue Baochai to return to the Rongguo Mansion, this might be another good opportunity to take advantage of it.

Then he said happily: "This is a rare event, and we husband and wife will naturally come to enjoy the blessing."

Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said, "Then I will hand over the list in a few days."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard Qin Xian's report outside, saying that his wife had come.

But it turned out that although Mrs. Wang was angry with him and wanted to teach Baoyu another lesson, she heard that he was stopped by Jia Zheng halfway, but she was worried that Jia Zheng's attack would be too harsh, so she hurried over.

"Hmph~ Loving mother has many losers!"

When Jia Zheng heard that Mrs. Wang was coming, he couldn't help snorting coldly, pointed at Baoyu and said, "Just take this rebellious son out and give it to her!"

Qin Xian immediately stepped forward, pretending to push Baoyu out.

Baoyu was very happy at first, but thinking that her mother had changed the family law last time, she couldn't help but look back at Jiao Shun frequently.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun smiled wryly, then cupped his hands helplessly and said, "My nephew just promised to protect brother Bao, so..."

"This evil!"

Jia Zheng snorted, waved his hands with a sinking face and said, "Come on, let him relax for a few days first!"

He knew that he couldn't move Baoyu for the time being, but he was not in a hurry, after all, what he was really worried about was the old lady who was sick in bed, and the eldest daughter who was about to visit her relatives, not Mrs. Wang.

After visiting her relatives, the old lady will...

At that time, there was naturally a lot of kung fu cooking!

By the way, Jiao chased after Baoyu and went to see Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang first took Baoyu to ask, but when she found out that he hadn't been beaten, she suddenly changed her color and scolded him all over her face.

It took a long time before Baoyu was ordered to close the door and think about his mistakes. Except for visiting the old lady every day, he was not allowed to go out for half a step privately.

When Baoyu was sent away, Mrs. Wang suddenly burst into tears and choked up: "Why is my life so hard, and I have such a life-seeker?!"

Jiao Shun looked at the distance between the left and the right, and said honestly: "You should pay more attention to Lan Geer in the future, it is better to let Baoyu's matter go for a while--in terms of his current reputation outside, young I am afraid that the agreement made by Feng Gong in the future can only be voided."

Mrs. Wang became more depressed when she heard this. In fact, she has recently begun to reflect on whether she has poured too much unnecessary love on Baoyu, but if she wants to give up Baoyu...

After all, he was born with jade in his mouth!

"Ma'am, ma'am!"

At this moment, Musk Moon's panicked voice was suddenly heard from outside.

Shouting so loudly, especially disturbing her getting along with Jiao Shun, Mrs. Wang frowned unhappily, but ordered someone to call her in, and asked, "What's the matter? present?!"

"Mrs!"

But she saw Sheyue fell to her knees with a thud, raised her head and said in a panic: "The jade on Second Master's body is gone!"
