I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 14 Snatch
Jia Hao impatiently talked to Jia Baoyu and smiled naively: "I only like to stay with Sister Lin." After that, he dragged the seat closer to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu looked at her quietly and smiled.

Jia Baoyu stared at Lin Daiyu blankly and asked in confusion: "You and I were both asleep in my grandmother's house. Why are you so close to her but you didn't say a word to me? You didn't even bother to talk to me." "

"Why did I ignore you?" Lin Daiyu looked towards him and asked curiously: "I will greet you when I see you, and I will answer seriously when you ask me questions. For example, now, I am also very angry when you question me. Explain. You can tell me when and where I ignored you?"

These words immediately silenced Jia Baoyu.But he didn't give up, and he also had someone drag him over to sit next to her, and look for topics to chat with her.

Jia Heo had been paying attention to the movements of Jia Lian. Seeing that Lin Daiyu was dealing with Jia Baoyu's flawless clone at this time, she patted Lin Daiyu's arm to indicate that she was going out of the house. When Lin Daiyu saw it, she quietly walked out.

Under the verandah, there were many maids, servants, and women sitting or standing waiting.

Jia He saw Ping'er among them, chatting with Xiaosi, and asked the people around him: "I wanted to chat with sister Ping'er, but I never thought she was talking to someone. Who is that person?"

The woman was eating melon seeds beside her. She raised her eyelids after hearing this and said, "That's Zhao'er next to Mr. Lian."

It turns out that this is Zhao'er.Although Jia He wanted to ask Na Zhaoer something, it was obviously not the right time.After chatting with the mother-in-law for a while, Jia He was ready to go back to the house before Ping'er and the others finished speaking.

Unexpectedly, with a glance, he caught sight of a slightly familiar figure from the corner of his eye.She paused for a moment and retracted her outstretched foot, then turned towards the figure and said, "Sister, this sachet is beautiful. Did you make it yourself?"

Meiren and Xiren were talking about collecting clothes for Jia Baoyu, when they suddenly heard a little girl talking.Looking down, he was shocked at first glance that there was such a beautiful girl in the world.After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that I had seen this little person before. She seemed to be the fifth girl who had just entered the house.

Meiren was not with Baoyu just now, so naturally she didn't know what happened to Baoyu and Jia He. After being questioned, she said happily: "To tell you what, I did it myself."

"What a clever craftsmanship. It seems that you are not too old, but it is really rare to be able to do this." Jia He said in a casual tone, staring at the sachet beside Meiren's waist for a moment.

He is an expert in acupuncture, which shows that he has been practicing it assiduously since he was a child.What is certain is that the threading method of this sachet embroidery is different from Huoxiang's habit, and it is impressively done by two hands.

Xiren smiled and said, "Young lady, you don't know something. Although Meiren is a little younger, her skills are very good. Everyone said that the eldest wife has Huoxiang over there, and we have her here. What's more, she is better than Huoxiang. I'm still a few years younger, and my hands are very steady when doing embroidery. If I were older, my fingers might be stronger than Huoxiang."

"Sister Xiren is overrated." Meiren smiled shyly: "When I was a child, I wanted to learn acupuncture from a teacher, but after I joined our family, I couldn't do it."

This is because something happened at home and she was sold to the house to be a girl.Xiren was secretly annoyed that he shouldn't have mentioned such a thing, and hurriedly said: "I heard that you have done a lot of new embroidery work recently? What are the patterns? You can show it to me someday and let me learn from it."

Jia He somehow thought of the embroidery needle stuck behind Huoxiang's neck.

The needle was inserted very skillfully. It could be said that it was inserted into the bone seam by mistake, but it cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately did this method deliberately.

Ke Meiren is really young, can she really do such a thing?
She was dubious, adhering to the purpose of never letting go of any detail. Seeing that Zhao'er and Heping'er were still talking, she took advantage of the situation and said, "I want to see it too. It's better to catch the sun than to catch it. If there is nothing to do now, it's better to lead the charming sister at this moment." Shall we go and observe?" Meiren stretched her head into the room and took a few glances, but unfortunately the heavy felt curtain blocked her view and she couldn't see anything.

Xiren thought she was worried about Baoyu and said, "Don't worry. There are many people serving him, and it doesn't matter if we are missing." His tone was slightly sad.

Charming people have their own thoughts and don't realize it.

Jia He noticed it, took a deep look at Xiren, raised his eyes and saw Meiren hesitating, and urged: "Good sister, let's take a look. When my grandmother praised me just now, I saw that the sisters all have their own characteristics. Director, I don’t know anything, I’m very impatient, and I want to learn something. Today I’ll do some embroidery work, and maybe tomorrow I’ll do some calligraphy and reading.”

These words made Charming laugh: "Fifth girl is too impatient. Why did she jump from embroidery to studying? Even the second master refuses to say that he is a scholar now."

Xiren felt that this was inappropriate and said hurriedly: "No matter what it is, just embroider or read. It's always good for the fifth girl to like to learn something." He winked at Meiren.

Meiren, who came late, didn't know about the lofty talks before, but she, who arrived early in the morning, knew about it.Thinking that the fifth girl was foolish and stupid yesterday, but today she seems a little smarter after receiving the affirmation from her ancestors, I think what she said before that "the soil and water in the house support people" are true.

Xiren nodded secretly and said: "Since the girl wants to see it, let's go and have a look. When the second master asks about it later, you and I can just say that we went with the girl. The old lady and the second master Bao will only appreciate it when they find out. There is absolutely no reason to be angry."

At this point, it would be hypocritical to deliberately not say it.Meiren sighed deeply and said half-seriously: "I'm really scared of you. Two people are holding my arms and dragging me away." Then she moved reluctantly, turning back three times at a time.

Jia He saw it clearly and was very curious.

She kept looking back, was she really thinking about Jia Baoyu, or was there someone else she wanted to see.

for example--

Jia Lian?

At this moment, people were coming and going, so the three of them walked along the less crowded path beside the wall.Arriving at a nearby house, Xiren pointed to one of the houses and lowered his head and said, "This is where Meiren and Sheyue live." He was explaining to Jia Heran.

Jia He nodded and stepped in.

The furnishings inside are simple, with two beds and a wardrobe, two stools and a table being the only furniture here.The place is clean and tidy and quite spacious, so the maids can live here comfortably.

Meiren walked to the bed on the left and took out the square handkerchief from under the pillow.Just as he was about to hand it to the fifth girl, Jia He unexpectedly had sharp eyes and suddenly lay down on her bed. He reached out and took out something from under the pillow: "What is this? It's hidden and you won't show it to us."

This change happened too quickly.By the time Meiren reacted and wanted to snatch it, Jia He had already held the thing in his hand and was looking at it.Meiren broke into a cold sweat and stretched out her hand to reach it.Jia He took advantage of the opportunity and threw the things to Xiren aside.
