King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 278 Xiangyun's Consultation

Jia Lian slammed his bow left and right, slapping Jia Baoyu so hard, he wanted to break free but didn't have the strength, wanted to resist but didn't have the ability.

The girls around didn't dare to come forward to persuade her, only Xue Pan felt distressed, and finally stepped forward to pull Jia Lian away.

Looking at Baoyu whose mouth was bleeding from the beating, Xue Pan reached out to help him wipe away the blood, with pity in his eyes.

Holding Baoyu in his arms, Xue Pan only felt hot all over. He looked at Jia Lian and said, "Second brother Lian, you are too cruel to attack. He is your younger brother!"

Jia Lian said coldly, "I don't have such a brother for such a fool!"

Jia Baoyu wanted to talk back, but at the moment his face was in pain, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

At this moment, Mrs. Wang's voice came from outside the door: "Lian Er, you are presumptuous..."

The boy came to report in a hurry, but Mrs. Wang was so anxious that she put down the Buddhist scriptures in her hand and rushed over.

Seeing Baoyu's distressed appearance at this moment, Mrs. Wang even wanted to kill Jia Lian.

Entering the yard, Mrs. Wang scolded angrily: "Baoyu is your younger brother. You have humiliated me several times, and you can't help but fight and kick. Is that what you do for a brother?"

"Second Wife, Baoyu's behavior is unreasonable, and my nephew is helping you to discipline him, lest he cause more trouble!"

"Hmph... Two children are arguing in anger, do you need to be so rough on such a trivial matter?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sneered and said, "You beat Baoyu hard...just when I don't know what you are thinking?"

………………

Mrs. Wang is arguing with Jia Lian. In the Lixiang Courtyard where Baochai is, she also tells her mother what happened today.

Talking about the several conflicts with Baochai, Baochai could not help but persuade: "Mother, the two families are so at odds, we'd better move out..."

"I don't know, I thought we were hanging on, how can we meet people when it spreads?"

"This...it's just your aunt's side..."

Hearing that her mother still had doubts, Baochai said solemnly: "Mother... this matter is related to the reputation of the two families, and it is not just a matter between you and your aunt!"

"Now that my brother has also arrived in Beijing, if he lives with you in Jia's house, wouldn't it make people think that he can't support Xue's house!"

"If that's the case, don't say it's a matter of filling in the vacancies, I'm afraid our family will really be reduced to a joke!"

Every sentence of Baochai was well-founded, making it impossible for Aunt Xue to refute, so she fell into silence.

"Mother...you should never stop being disturbed by it, why don't you take advantage of today's opportunity to explain it to Auntie!"

"This……"

"Mother... Even if you don't think about the Xue family, you should think about the future of the eldest brother!"

No matter the Xue family or Xue Pan, they are things that Aunt Xue cannot let go of. At this moment, she has been persuaded to have nowhere to go.

"Oh... let me think about it, let me think about it!"

Seeing that her mother was worried, Baochai couldn't force her too much, so she could only watch her leave with a sad face.

However, as soon as Aunt Xue left, Yinger came in happily, and couldn't wait to say: "Girl, Baoyu was beaten up by Lian's second master, it's so relieved!"

Baochai did not sigh: "It seems that paper cannot contain fire after all, there is no impenetrable wall in this world!"

Right now, she doesn't care about Jia Baoyu's situation any more, she only wants to persuade her mother to leave Jia's house.

Seeing Baochai's lack of interest, Ying'er had to play while sharing the good news with Wenxing.

Jia Baoyu would never have imagined that the fat beating he suffered today was actually caused by a girl secretly.

No one spoke, and Rikain seemed quiet, but this silence was quickly broken.

But Xiangyun, who came to Jia's house, dragged Tanchun to Lixiangyuan, and made a special trip to see Baochai.

"But I don't know if this sister Bao... is easy to get along with!"

Hearing Xiangyun's words, Tanchun couldn't help but support his forehead and said: "How many times have I said it, Sister Bao is approachable, gentle and easy-going..."

"Besides, it's all here, you can't just go back like this?"

"It's true... I have nothing to be afraid of!"

The conversation between the two caused the girls who followed behind to laugh, and some even laughed out loud.

"What are you laughing at? Knock on the door!" Xiang Yun reprimanded angrily.

Although he was young, he showed some airs of a young lady, which was somewhat intimidating.

The girls didn't dare to be negligent, so they immediately stepped forward to knock on the door, and reported the identity of the visitor by the way.

The door was opened, and when Xiangyun Tanchun entered the courtyard, Baochai had already greeted him.

"Sister Bao!" Tanchun quickened his pace, and at the same time pulled Xiangyun to welcome him in.

Although she has a very bad impression of Jia Baoyu, Baochai has no opinion on the rest of the Jia family, and especially appreciates Tanchun, who is self-reliant and self-improving.

"No wonder the magpies kept barking just now. It turns out that Tan girl is here... Our sisters didn't have time to talk in the morning, and I was going to find you!"

Baochai's words always make people feel like a spring breeze. After hearing this, Tanchun immediately replied: "I am also thinking about Sister Bao. I have some doubts about studying today. I am planning to ask my sister for advice!"

After saying this, Tanchun pushed Xiangyun to the front, and introduced to Baochai, "Sister Bao...this is Sister Yun from the historian!"

"Meet Sister Bao!"

The historian's elder sister Yun, Baochai thought of Xiangyun's identity as soon as his mood changed, and immediately looked up and down the girl in front of him.

"Fairy and graceful, graceful and graceful...my sister really looks like a fairy!"

When Baochai praised Xiangyun, the latter also praised her to the sky in his heart.

Xiangyun originally thought that Daiyu was the only one in the world, but only after seeing Baochai did he realize that he was shallow.

After the three of them greeted each other, they went all the way into the warm pavilion of the room, and it was only after Tanchun explained the purpose of their visit.

"Sister Bao, in two days... Sister Yun is going to enter the palace, so I made a special trip to ask you for advice!"

"Ask me?" Baochai looked puzzled.

Xiangyun is straightforward, and he said without waiting for Tanchun to explain: "Sister Bao...the empress is the mother of the world, the majesty is profound, I really..."

It is actually a very normal psychology to be worried about meeting the queen soon, and Baochai was also like this before.

Even after staying in Kunning Palace for so long, she has to be very careful every time she meets her, so she understands Xiangyun very well.

"The empress is very easy-going, so you don't have to worry too much. When I first entered the palace..."

So Baochai talked about her own experience, and Xiangyun felt relieved after hearing it.

This is much more useful than listening to the consolation of the two aunts. Obviously, the communication between peers is indeed more efficient, because it is clearer what the other party cares about.

"The princess is also easy to get along with, but the thirteenth master, you have to hide a little bit in the future, it will be troublesome if you get entangled with him!" Baochai looked like someone who had come here.

From Baochai's point of view, Zhu Jinghong is very caring, and it's hard for a beauty like Xiangyun not to be targeted, and then she will have to feel uncomfortable for a while.

She reminded Xiangyun like this when she was planning for the rainy day, and postponed some evil fates as much as she could.

Yes, it was to delay rather than prevent. Obviously Baochai understood that she had no ability to interfere with who Zhu Jinghong liked.

However, Xiangyun heard more information from her words, and asked very bluntly: "Sister Bao has been entangled by him?"

Baochai was stunned by these words, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Seeing her reaction like this, Xiangyun Tanchun and the two knew that this was the case in all likelihood.

To avoid Baochai's embarrassment, Tanchun immediately said, "Young girl Yun, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Xiangyun is not stupid at all, he knew that he had said something wrong and immediately made up for it: "Look at me, I can't control my mouth, I don't know how to speak... If I really enter the palace, I really have to rely on Sister Bao to take care of me. !"

Baochai smiled lightly and didn't dwell on it any longer.

"Speaking of which, just now I came here from home, and I happened to meet Lord Thirteen on the way!"

Upon hearing this, Baochai, who had just calmed down, suddenly became nervous again.
