Red House Shoufu

Chapter 42 Conflict
Jia Baoyu was excitedly about to tell Daiyu about his lovesickness, but he was startled by Daiyu's cold face.

Although the two had often quarreled before, he had never seen such a cold Daiyu.

"It's my fault. I hope sister Lin will forgive me. I... I... I just... just..." Panicked, Baoyu didn't know how to explain it, so he hurriedly bowed to Daiyu.

But what he said just now reminded Daiyu of discussing filial piety with Lin Shu when she just returned to Yangzhou.

In the past, she didn't quite understand those things. After more than two years of teaching by Nanny Zhang, plus what she learned from the book, she still didn't understand. own life.

Moreover, Baoyu also slandered and slandered her elder brother Lin Shu, how could Daiyu bear it.As far back as I can remember, my elder brother held himself in his palm and loved him dearly.

In the past two years or so, she has spoiled herself even more. Zhang Momo even said that her brother raised her as a daughter. She has never seen any girl who has such a brother who loves her sister.

Baoyu lowered her posture, thinking that the two had quarreled in the past, as long as she had the cheek to apologize, Daiyu would put down the conflict and make up with herself.

But this time he didn't pay any attention to it, and sat upright, turned his head away and stopped talking.

When Jia Shishi saw her precious grandson being treated coldly by Daiyu because of such a "small matter", she blamed her on the spot: "Yu'er, Baoyu also cared about you so she said something wrong, and you can't just say something wrong just because of such a small matter." Just kidding."

Daiyu originally thought that her grandmother would ask Baoyu to make amends, but she didn't expect that she would be accused of playing petty temper.Tears rolled back and forth in the eye sockets, and they were about to fall if I looked at them.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Shu got up and said, "Since the Rongguo Mansion doesn't welcome us brothers and sisters, then we brothers and sisters can go back to our own home."

Only then did Jia Baoyu see Lin Shu standing in the hall, and after thinking of Lin Shu's identity, he quickly turned his gaze to Daiyu.

Although Daiyu was reluctant to part with her sisters, she stood up immediately after Lin Shu finished speaking.

Seeing that Daiyu was about to leave, Jia Baoyu shouted eagerly: "Sister Lin... frowning..."

"Frown? Who is Second Master Bao calling again?" Although Lin Shu knew the meaning of the word frown, he still pretended not to know.

Jia Baoyu glanced at Lin Shu resentfully, this is the person who forcibly left Sister Lin in Jiangnan, and now wants to take Sister Lin away again.

Just heard Jia Baoyu reply: "Xiaoxie is Sister Lin, this is the word I gave her, I don't allow you to take Sister Lin away!"

"Hmph! Rongguo Mansion is good at education. My Lin family is not dead yet, and I, Lin Shu, are still alive. It's not your turn to take Yu'er's name!"

Lin Shu turned around and asked Jia Shishi: "I don't know if Jia's family study is a place to dawdle, has the word "waiting" been taught before? Er Master Bao did this to curse my Lin family's sons and grandchildren, or to pollute my daughter's innocence. reputation?"

Da Chu followed ancient rituals. If a woman held a ceremony before marriage, her relatives and elders would mostly get her characters, and if she didn’t have her characters after marriage, her husband would mostly get her characters.

Jia Shishi didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would call out the two words "grow and frown" today. Although Baoyu did it back then, it was a bit inappropriate.But Jia Shishi himself has selfish intentions, thinking of getting closer with his youngest son and daughter, so that he can match the two of them in the future.

She looked at Baoyu who was at a loss, and then at Daiyu who was hiding behind Lin Shu, knowing that today it might not be appropriate to keep her granddaughter.

"Brother Lin, this is just a kid's joke..."

Lin Shu made a bow and said: "The reputation of the Lin family cannot be destroyed for a hundred years, and the reputation of the daughter of the Lin family cannot be destroyed. The Rongguo Mansion must give the Lin family an account of today's matter. Please forgive the junior for being rude, and leave!"

After finishing speaking, he led Daiyu Wangmao and others to leave. After Jia Baoyu watched Daiyufu bid farewell to his grandmother, he immediately had a seizure.

He suddenly took off the jade from his chest and threw it on the ground: "What use do I want this jade for?"

After the fall, he fell to the ground, closed his eyes tightly, and muttered the words "Sister Lin".

Jia Shishi and other people in the hall were startled by him and became a mess.

"Baoyu! (Second Master Bao!), what's the matter with you? Go to the doctor quickly! Please ask the imperial physician!"

Daiyu, who had already walked out of Rongxi Hall, heard shouts from the room, and wanted to go back to have a look, but Jia Lian just rushed over.

"Cousin Lin, cousin, I'm really... I'm really sorry today!"

Jia Lian bowed to the two to apologize, and Daiyu looked over to Rongxi Hall, "Second brother Lian, is Baoyu okay, what's wrong with him?"

Jia Lian smiled wryly: "What can he do? He's venting his anger on his piece of jade again, and he's lying on the ground pretending to be sick!"

"He's not really sick, is he? What if it's true...how about I go back and have a look?" After all, Daiyu and Jia Baoyu have feelings for each other. Of course, it's just a brother-sister relationship.

During the three years in Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu cared for her very much. Although she sometimes made herself angry, she also knew that Jia Baoyu had that kind of temperament and would not care much.

"Don't go back. His purpose of doing this is to let the old lady ask his cousin to go back to accompany him. It's not like you haven't seen him pretend to be sick. Don't worry, when I went out, he secretly opened his eyes and looked at me... ..."

Jia Lian stopped Daiyu, and then said to Lin Shu: "It doesn't matter today, Cousin Lin and Cousin will go back first, and I will invite you over in a few days. As for the selection of characters, the Rongguo Mansion... the old lady will not explain to the Lin family. , I, the heir of the Rongguo Mansion, will definitely give the Lin family an explanation!"

Daiyu sighed softly, the word frowning and frowning sounded nice to her when she was young, but after she knew the meaning of taking the word, she never wanted to hear these two words again.

Baoyu's fuss today just ended the matter completely.She said to Jia Lian Fushen: "Second brother Lian, my grandmother is probably in a hurry. Every time Baoyu pretends to be sick, she will believe it. You'd better go and take care of it. I'm afraid that my grandmother will get sick in a hurry."

Jia Lian lamented Daiyu's kindness in his heart, but he shook his head: "Forget it, I'll take you out first, and then invite Second Uncle to come over later, the old lady doesn't necessarily want me to be around her."

Several people walked to the gate of the mansion. After getting into the carriage, Daiyu asked Jia Lian to invite Jia Zheng as soon as possible.

Lin Shu said goodbye to Jia Lian after getting on his horse: "Cousin Lian, today's matter has nothing to do with Cousin Lian. The Rongguo Mansion is Uncle Yu'er's house, and it will always be. It's just that some people... Forget it, let's not talk about it. Another day, younger brother will visit uncle and cousin Lian again."

When Daiyu heard Lin Shu's words, the anxiety she felt after coming out of Rongxi Hall disappeared.

After all, she valued the little family relationship left, and she was afraid that Lin Shu would cut off the relationship between the two families because of today's incident.

Jia Lian smiled, and also cupped her hands and said, "Others are others, and Jia Lian is Jia Lian. I will invite my cousins ​​to the banquet another day."

With the sound of horseshoes, the brothers and sisters of the Lin family finally left Ningrong Street.Jia Lian stood in front of the gate of Rongguo Mansion, watching the direction of the Lin family's departure from a distance, and remained silent for a long time.

Xing'er next to him asked in a low voice, "Second Master, do you still want to go to Rongxi Hall?"

Jia Lian sneered: "Go, why not? But let's go to Second Uncle's first. Second Uncle's stick is much more useful than the Imperial Physician in Imperial Hospital!"
