The red building is so arrogant

It's evening.

When she came out of the palace, Mrs. Wang specially called Xue Baochai to ride with her.

I wanted to say something on the way, but when the words came to my lips, I felt that nothing was appropriate.

You can't make things clear, can you?

Then what face do you have as a mother-in-law?

When Mrs. Wang didn't speak, Xue Baochai was even less in the mood to initiate a conversation, so the journey became dull and lengthy. When the car finally heard Neiyi Gate approaching, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Xue Baochai helped Mrs. Wang get out of the car, one wanted to go back to the hut in the clear hall of the Grand View Garden, and the other wanted to transfer to the front yard residence. Seeing that they were about to part ways, Mrs. Wang finally said: "When I go back, I will give Changqing a ride." post."

Xue Baochai's face was calm, as if he heard it, but also didn't seem to hear it.

Mrs. Wang's upper lip moved again, but in the end she just exhorted: "You've been tired all day, you should go to bed earlier."

Then they parted ways with Xue Baochai in front of Neiyi's gate.

Xue Baochai watched her enter the corridor between the two doors, sighed secretly, and then went back to the residence in silence.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a servant woman coming up with a lantern, and said cautiously: "Grandma, the second master has a letter."

After Fuling's southward team arrived at Jinling, they immediately sent back the family letter, but because they had to repair the tomb, arrange for the burial of the old lady, and deal with the affairs of the Jinling clan by the way, the family letter was very brief, just It's just a simple report of safety.

Now the matter should have come to an end, so a second wave of family letters was sent.

Xue Baochai raised her eyebrows, looking at the family letter that the servant woman sent to her, her heart became more and more irritable.

Why is it at this time?
The chaos was already enough, but Baoyu jumped out to add to the chaos!

To be honest, Xue Baochai didn't really want to read this family letter. Baoyu's mood was always unstable, and no one could guarantee what he wrote in this letter. How should she deal with herself?

But this letter from home sent all the way, after all, I still have to look at it.

"It's work."

She stretched out her hand to take the letter from the family, turned her head and told Ying'er, "Go and get two slings of money for this sister."

The servant woman was relieved, and asked "how did this happen?", but the action of receiving the reward was extremely swift.

Baochai said a few more perfunctory words, then went into the room with the family letter, looked at it over and over again by the candlelight for a long time, then took the paper knife, ready to open it and read it.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard a report from outside that the attacker was coming.

After Tanchun entered the palace, this Xiren was in a free-range state, and she was treated coldly and excluded in private. Fortunately, she is a smart person, and the servant did not dare to go too far after all, so nothing has happened yet. There is trouble.

I don't know why she came here suddenly at this time.

Xue Baochai put down the family letter in his hand, got up and went outside, and saw Xiren lowering his eyebrows and smiling apologetically, talking to Yinger, but Yinger just ignored her with a straight face.

Knowing that Xiren switched to the third girl and might even be married to Jiao's family, Ying'er should have changed her opinion of her, but who would let her girl have an affair with Uncle Jiao?

Isn't this the same as Xiren first took the lead from Second Master Jia, then turned around and took the lead from Uncle Jiao?
How could she get all the benefits by herself? !
With such a mood, Ying'er naturally wouldn't give Xi Ren a good look.

With a hot face and a cold butt, Xiren was at a loss for words. Seeing Xue Baochai coming out from the inside, he immediately stepped forward to pay respects to 'grandma' as if he had received an amnesty.

Xue Baochai waved his hand, pointed to his lower hand and said, "Sit down and talk—you came to see me so late, but what's the matter?"

"I don't know if it's important or not."

Xiren took out a thick envelope from his sleeve, put it in front of Baochai with both hands, and explained: "This is a letter from Second Master Bao, and the roll call is for me and Sheyue, because I don't know the envelope. I asked grandma to read these many words, but grandma said she had to forward them to grandma after reading them."

Seeing the thick envelope, Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment before realizing what Xiren said.

So he took it, pulled out the letter paper with some difficulty, flipped through the pages one by one, and asked casually, "What else did Grandma say?"

Xiren thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything else."

Xue Baochai nodded and said nothing more, and began to look carefully.

But I saw that the writing of this letter was a bit scattered, part of it was telling the pain of being apart, and part of it was describing what I saw and heard during this trip to the south. The two were not separated, but interspersed with each other from time to time, and sometimes mixed A few verses and emotions of unknown meaning.

Soon, an incident described in the letter attracted Xue Baochai's attention.

The Zhen family was ransacked!

According to Baoyu's statement in the letter and Xue Baochai's own speculation, the Zhen family was probably implicated in Wang Ziteng's case, and then found out about some crimes, and finally came to a sad end.

In the letter, Jia Baoyu used a lot of space to describe the situation before and after the Zhen family mansion was confiscated, and also mentioned the episode where he went to visit Zhen Baoyu and wept across the railing.

Then there are large sections of life insights, as well as contempt and disgust for fame and fortune.

In this section alone, there are five or six plausible Buddhist gatha.

The Buddhist gatha written by Baoyu earlier is more about the longing for detachment from the world of mortals, but these few poems reveal a strong sense of world-weariness—obviously witnessing the downfall of the Zhen family brought great shock to him.

This may be the reason why Li Wan asked Xi Ren to present it to him for review.

But what Baochai cares most about right now is not Baoyu's tendency to be world-weary, but...

Folding more than [-] pages of letter paper again, stuffing it back with great effort, looking at the bulging envelope, Xue Baochai fell silent again.

"grandmother?"

After waiting for a long time, Xiren saw that she was just staring at the envelope in a daze, and finally couldn't help reminding her.

"Oh."

Only then did Baochai come back to her senses, and immediately got up and said, "Leave this letter with me for now, maybe I will ask my wife to read it tomorrow."

Xiren naturally didn't dare to object, and seeing that Baochai wanted to see off the guests, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After the attacker left, Xue Baochai took the letter to the inner room and put it side by side with the letter to his family.

One was lying on the coffee table smoothly, while the other was round and round, as if it was about to explode.

Although the number of words is not necessarily better than the number of words, but Jia Baoyu's letters to the maids are eloquent and eloquent, but the letters to her family are only two or three pages. This comparison still makes Baochai feel chilling again.

Even if the love is long and the paper is short, I am afraid it will make people less touched.

What's more, judging from those few world-weary Buddhist verses, the content of the letter is likely to be completely opposite to what I first guessed...
