Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 271 Welcome the Spring, Baochai

The small courtyard in the northeast corner of Rongguo Mansion.

The small courtyard that used to be clean but warm was very noisy today.

The eldest girl and the young daughter-in-law all crowded into Xue Baochai's wing and helped her dress up with gleaming eyes.

In addition to Li Wan, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Yingchun, who was about to get married, all came here to help this little sister tidy up her makeup.

Although Xue Baochai has only been here for less than three months, he still gets along well with the sisters, as if he has been an acquaintance for many years.

"Look, look, whose girl is this? She looks so pretty." Lin Daiyu stood behind Xue Baochai and smoothed her hair. When she saw the girl in the mirror, she was a little uneasy, so she pointed with her finger. The right side of Baochai's face was teasing, trying to ease her tension.

Hearing this, Xue Baochai did not reply. It was useless to understand the world at this time. No matter how outstanding she was, she was just a young lady raised in a boudoir. Although the sisters in the county government were good to her, she was about to be with another person. How can a group of people start a new life without being nervous and hesitant?

Looking at herself in the silver mirror, dressed in gold, silver, makeup, and makeup, looking more beautiful than ever before, Xue Baochai sighed in her heart.

In fact, she knew very well that being the concubine of a Taiwei was a great blessing that others could not hope for in eight lifetimes. Even if she became a princess, she might not be as comfortable as being Jia Hui's concubine. But

Jia Hui's status is too high, and he already has a wife, seven concubines, and six children.

Different from the original work, due to the embarrassing situation of the Xue family, she desperately wants a man who can help her rise to prominence, so as to change the fate of the Xue family and her own destiny.

But in this life, because of a promise made by Jia Hui back then, Lao Xue was forced to survive for several more years. After the war, relying on Jia Hui, the Xue family expanded a lot.

At first, I thought it was just that Xue Baochai was wary of outsiders because he had just arrived, so Yingchun didn't take it seriously.

However, in this life, with her brother's love, she doesn't need to pretend to be herself, she just needs to enjoy life to the fullest and show her truest self.

Going back on your word yesterday is not called going back on your word, it's the captain's pity, but going back on your word today is called being disrespectful, and it's a slap in the captain's face!

Even if the Taiwei didn't do anything if he had a fit on the spot, what about the officials who supported the Taiwei?

Invitations have been sent out, the banquet has been prepared, and even the small courtyard where he lives has been packed.

Jealous that he has an omnipotent brother who dotes on her, loves her, and can protect her from wind and rain.

Changes in living environment also changed Xue Baochai's mind.

But after careful observation, she discovered that Xue Baochai looked at her with envy and jealousy.

"Now that you know all the consequences, who are you showing this look to?" Tie the last hairpin in Baochai's hair, Yingchun looked at Baochai through the silver mirror

Yingchun felt that something was wrong with the way Xue Baochai looked at her when she first arrived in Luoyang.

She hopes that while having a husband who can help her "get high", she can also meet her soulmate.

However, when she learned that she was actually engaged to Taiwei Jia Hui, who was nearly ten years older than her and already had a wife, she was stunned for a long time.

Sometimes, she would rather marry someone who is not that good, but knows her, understands her and loves her.

Although his mistress Li Wan has a very good attitude towards him, Xue Baochai will feel boundless depression every time he recalls how cautious and cautious he was every time he saw her.

"Stop talking!" Seeing that Lin Daiyu wanted to continue persuading her, Yingchun who was standing aside quickly covered Daiyu's mouth and drove out all the sisters who were causing trouble in the room.

As Captain Jia's only blood relative, Yingchun was even more valuable than the princesses in Luoyang's social circle.

"Alas" Yingchun sighed softly, reached out from the dressing table to pick up the comb Daiyu had put there, stood behind Baochai, and took over Daiyu's unfinished work.

"Second sister," Baochai murmured as she stared at the figure in the mirror who was thinning her hair.

Yingchun is the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion!

When the eldest lady speaks, how can the other sisters not listen? Daiyu, Xiangyun, Tanchun, and Xichun all bowed to her in an exaggerated manner, and then left Baochai's boudoir, teasing each other. This lively atmosphere made Baochai, who was worried, reveal his thoughts. A smile.

In the blink of an eye, only Yingchun and Baochai were left in the boudoir.

They don't even need to do anything, the Xue family members will let them know what it means to reap the consequences!

Xue Baochai closed his eyes.

After all, with the unremitting efforts of the Emperor and the Emperor over the years, the royal family has repeatedly added new members. There are twelve princesses alone, and the Emperor's princesses have already been ranked twenty-eight!

As the saying goes, things are more valuable when they are scarce. How can the numerous princesses compare with the Taiwei's only sister?

With this self-confidence and pride, coupled with the several nuns Jia Hui begged from the Queen, the dull, honest and timid "Er Mu" has finally grown into a qualified eldest lady of aristocratic families over the years. , calculated as being much nobler than Motoharu, who has become Princess Yiyong.

Xue Baochai's face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was ashamed or regretful.

"I won't say anything like 'it's too late for you to regret it now'. If you're smart, you'll understand why, right?" Yingchun ignored Xue Baochai's expression and asked as usual.

A person who is good at gaming may be really honest, but how could he be dull from the beginning?

In the original novel, wasn't it because her father didn't care for her mother anymore and her stepmother bullied her that she used stupid behavior to disguise and protect herself?

Although I have been pretending for so long, I have become really dull.

Yingchun doesn't like to talk much, and Baochai is too preoccupied now to be in the mood to talk.

There was silence in the boudoir.

"I won't say anything unnecessary," Yingchun inserted a hairpin into Baochai's hair, "Big Brother has given you so many opportunities to regret, and even sent someone to ask you last night, but... You have always vowed to enter the county government's palace, why are you so sad today?"

At first Yingchun didn't believe it, but after confirming it countless times and even asking her brother's most powerful sister, Oriole, to help find out, Yingchun confirmed this fact.

Hearing this, Xue Baochai fell silent.

The pair of eyes that usually exuded softness and serenity were so dazzling at this time, so dazzling that Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable, but unwilling to be outdone, she could only hold on and look into the mirror.

From the first time she met Yingchun, she didn't like him.

"I know it."

She has a soft temper and is kind to the point of being weak. She always takes care of others but always neglects herself. She has no financial difficulties on weekdays. If she needs anything, her brother will bring it to her as soon as possible.

It was like a canary that was pampered and raised in an exquisite golden cage. It had no intention of escaping from the cage and flying high!

No ambition at all!

In fact, in the original work, Xue Baochai looked down on Yingchun and even suppressed her as much as possible.

For example, in the fifty-seventh chapter, Baochai said behind his back that "Yingchun is a living dead person", which means that Yingchun has no rigidity or blood. He is obviously a living person, but he is just like a "walking corpse", ready to be slaughtered by others.

Baochai actually didn't have much contact with Yingchun, but within the limited contact time, Xue Baochai treated Yingchun like a gopher.

A poetry club was established in Grand View Garden, and whenever Yingchun spoke up, Xue Baochai suppressed it.

Lin Daiyu suggested that everyone start a poetry account. Yingchun said: "We're not good at poetry, so what's the point of calling us for nothing!"

Tanchun advised: "Even so, you still have to be talented."

When Baochai gave Baoyu a poem title, he always smiled and discussed it in a joking tone.

As soon as Yingchun spoke, Xue Baochai was instantly possessed by the domineering president. She did not look at Yingchun at all, but said decisively to everyone: "He lives in Zilingzhou, let's call her 'Lingzhou'. The four girls are in Ouxiang Pavilion , just call him 'Ouchie' and that's it."

Xue Baochai's tone was completely non-negotiable. Without letting everyone discuss it, the second girl chose this poem title.

Baochai struck Yingchun to death with one sentence. Baochai said these words not to Yingchun and Xichun, but to everyone. She didn't even bother to ask Yingchun and Xichun for their opinions, so she decided on their poem titles without permission.

Yingchun silently accepted the poem title. As for whether Yingchun likes this poem title, Xue Baochai doesn't care.

Xue Baochai forcefully suppressed Xia Yingchun's desire to speak. Yingchun stopped talking and listened silently to everyone's excited discussion.

The rules and regulations of the poetry club have been stipulated, and Tanchun decided to open the poetry club that day.

She asked Li Wan to write the topic, limit the rhyme in Lingzhou, and supervise the field in Ouxie.

Yingchun said: "According to me, there is no need to limit the rhyme of the title according to one person, it is actually fair in casting lots."

Li Wan said: "When I came just now, I saw them bringing in two pots of white begonias, which are really beautiful flowers. Why don't you sing about them?"

Yingchun said again: "I haven't rewarded you yet, so I'm going to write a poem first."

Seeing that Yingchun had no memory, Baochai showed up again and had her own thoughts and ideas. She went up and hit him again.

Baochai said: "It's just Bai Haitang, so why do you have to see it before writing it? The poems and poems of the ancients are just to express interest and express feelings. If you had waited until you saw her to write it, there would be no such poems now."

Yingchun immediately withered, and she said obediently: "That's it, wait until I limit the rhyme."

Everyone's poem number in Grand View Garden has two meanings: their own residence; and the ideal person they want to be.

Use poetry to express your ideals and pursuits.

Only in Xue Baochai's poem titles for Yingchun and Xichun, there are no ideals, only residences. It means that they have no future and no chance to realize their ideals.

Baochai's poem titles for Yingchun and Xichun are very perfunctory. She completely revealed her hidden domineering potential.

Xue Baochai is not as gentle and considerate as she appears on the surface. Baochai is very domineering and powerful at heart.

In this life, just when she had no choice but to accept her fate and was about to become someone else's concubine, Yingchun appeared.

She is also the only daughter in the family (the eldest daughter in Rongguo Mansion), and she also has an elder brother.

But her elder brother and even the Xue family could only rely on Yingchun's elder brother to survive, but Yingchun's elder brother could support her.

However, Yingchun is an honest child with no independent opinions, and her housekeeping skills are average. Anyone she leaves will be bullied by her husband's family.

But her brother was worried about her and tried his best to find the most suitable husband for her, and he was still the most beautiful man!

And what about me, who is arrogant and arrogant, even preparing to use her daughter as her husband's family to start a career?

But she can only commit herself to being a concubine and is not even qualified to have a decent wedding.

Xue Baochai never came back to her senses until Yingchun dressed Baochai neatly and left the room silently.

. . . . . .

Contrary to the atmosphere in the side room, the Duke's mansion was bustling with people changing glasses.

"Uncle!" A little man wearing a four-piece dragon robe and also with a shaved head looked at Jia Hui, who was wearing a bright red robe today, with wide eyes, his eyes shining.

"Oh, isn't this my good nephew! Come on, come on, let uncle hug you!" Without waiting for the little man's reply, Jia Hui smiled and bent down to hold the little boy in his arms, holding him close to her. The little boy next to him and his mother started teasing the child together.

Completely ignoring the child's biological father.

"Hey, are you blind?" The child's father had a very bad attitude. When he saw Jia Hui ignoring him, he immediately started yelling at her.

"Oh, there is actually a living person here?" Jia Hui looked at the child's biological father in surprise, as if he had just discovered him.

The exaggeration made the kid's father want to put his fist on Jia Hui's mean face.

Prince Yiyong, Chen Jingyuan, Chen Si.

The boy is naturally his and Princess Yuanchun's eldest son, Chen Xiyu, the righteous son.

The next generation of the royal character "Yuan" is the character "Xi".

Since the second prince, no, the eldest son of a commoner in Yikang was named "Xiyao", and the eldest son of the third prince was named "Xishun", then as the eldest son of Prince Yiyong's palace, he naturally had to follow the popular name "Xiyu".

Of course, if you dare to disobey the emperor, then feel free to choose another name.

Since he was just keeping concubines, Jia Hui didn't invite many people. Even if he invited others, he wouldn't come over with shame. So Jia Hui only invited a few relatives and clan members at home, and only a few of them decided to come over for a drink. old friends.

Chen Si is both an old friend and a clan member (son-in-law of the Jia family).

While teasing his little nephew, he bickered and played with Chen Si. It wasn't until the butler Yuan Rong came over to tell him that the time was coming, that Jia Hui put Chen Xiyu on the ground with some reluctance: "Okay, Brother Yu, go and talk to him." Let your cousin go play."

"Wei!" The little man said goodbye to Jia Hui and his parents in a serious manner, and then happily jumped up and down to play with his friends.

Jia Hui looked at the little emperor's grandson who was gradually walking away with a look of relief: "Tsk, my nephew is so polite."

"No, let's not see who raised him!" Chen Si raised his chin proudly.

"Tsk, isn't that the one who was raised by my old Jia family?" Jia Hui raised his eyebrows, glanced proudly at Yuan Chun, who was becoming more dignified and graceful, and then left with a big smile under Chen Si's speechless humiliation. Already.
