From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 297 Whisper

After a while of chatting, Miaoyu said goodbye to Jia Wei and took Xing Xiuyun out to talk privately.

As soon as Xing Xiuyan left, Daiyu smiled and held Baochai's hand.

"We came to the wrong place today. This is not the Bodhisattva Temple, but the Yue Lao Temple. We came here to burn incense and still met my sister. It's amazing that he can call her so easily."

Daiyu was just joking, she had no opinion towards Xing Xiuyun.

The maids who had been serving in the room just now were all wearing gold and silver jewelry, but Xing Xiuyan was dressed in simple clothes. She stood there without caring at all, and there was no envy or restraint in her eyes.

Daiyu also likes this kind of woman who is like a solitary cloud emerging from a mountain, elegant and radiant, and otherworldly.

"What a sour smell," Jia Wei sniffed, "Is Sister Lin jealous? Then I will only call you sister from now on, and I won't even call Xichun sister anymore."

Daiyu was so angry that her face turned red with shame. She was too embarrassed to play with Jia Wei, so she could only lean into Baochai's arms again and said, "Sister Bao, listen to what he said!"

Baochai coaxed Daiyu for a few words, then looked at Jia Wei and said, "Since Miss Xing's parents are here, you should go and meet them."

Jia Wei was too lazy to move, but he also understood Baochai's deep meaning.

First, Xing Xiuyan's father is Madam Xing's brother after all. If they don't meet, it would be impolite and would also lose Xing Xiuyan's face.

"Well, you know how to order me around," Jia Wei sat up, "Baochai, come here, I have something to say to you."

After hearing this, Baochai separated from Daiyu and came to Jia Wei.

"What are you talking about?"

Jia Wei pulled Baochai to sit down, then held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Good Baochai, I fell in love with this sister Xing at first sight. Think of a way to bring her into my room..."

After saying this, Jia Wei sucked Baochai's earlobe.

When Baochai heard Jia Wei's words, she was startled at first, and then her face turned red with shame at Jia Wei's sudden attack.

Jia Wei held her face and asked, "Did you hear it clearly?"

"Yes, I heard it clearly." Baochai said softly.

Jia Wei just stood up and smiled at Daiyu again. Daiyu felt very jealous when she saw the two of them hugging each other and whispering. Of course, she turned her head away and ignored him.

Jia Wei didn't take it seriously and walked straight out of the house to meet Xing Xiuyan's parents.

Seeing Jia Wei leave, Daiyu looked at Baochai and said sourly, "What are you two talking about? You don't even avoid people."

Baochai smiled and said, "Do you want to know?"

Daiyu certainly wanted to, but she also knew her limits, "Forget it, I don't want to hear it yet."

Baochai pinched her cheek gently and said, "You have to change your jealous temper... otherwise you will be jealous forever in the future."

Daiyu felt shy and embarrassed when she heard this: "I understand."

Baochai pulled Daiyu's hand and said, "Let's go and see his sister Xing..."

Baochai also felt a little sad, but she didn't show it.

Since Jia Wei had said it clearly, she would of course get the matter done.

Fortunately, Xing Xiuyan is also a well-behaved girl...

In another Zen room, Miaoyu and Xing Xiuyun held hands.

"...Yes, he is Jia Wei from the Imperial Guard, the current Marquis of Yong'an."

Xing Xiuyan was a little surprised. Her family rented an apartment in the temple and she had heard pilgrims coming and going talk about this upstart who had become famous in the past year.

But when such a powerful person stands in front of you, it still feels unreal.

Fortunately, she is indifferent to fame and fortune and doesn't think too much about it.

"Then you and him..." Xing Xiuyan hesitated to speak.

She could tell that the girl who had greeted her warmly just now should be the Marquis's wife.

Moreover, when Miaoyu came to Beijing, she was still in a state of “neither a monk nor a layman, neither a woman nor a man”.

Now when I see her again, Miaoyu has changed out of her monk's robes and put on a pretty girl's dress to dress up...

"I, I..." In front of the close Xing Xiuyan, Miaoyu's face turned red and she couldn't say anything for a long time. Seeing her friend's expression, Xing Xiuyan could understand.

"He..." Xing Xiuyan held Miaoyu's hand tightly and frowned slightly.

She wanted to ask, "Did Jia Wei use his power to take your body?", but she couldn't say it out loud for fear of hurting Miaoyu.
Xing Xiuyun thought about it carefully again. When Miaoyu talked about Jia Wei, there was no sadness or anger on her face. Compared with before, she was free of all sorrow and looked more noble and girlish.

This doesn't feel like being taken away by force, it's more like being in love...

Miaoyu also knew what Xing Xiuyan meant. After a long pause, she blushed and said, "He and I are willing to do this."

Miaoyu knew in her heart that Jia Wei was too powerful at the beginning because of his status. Although he took her to the marquis's mansion by force, she was willing to do so in her heart.

As for what happened later, it was a natural outcome.

It was just that she was embarrassed to face her own heart, so she was reluctant to do it.

Xing Xiuyun heaved a sigh of relief. Looking at Miaoyu's happy face, it didn't seem like she was lying to comfort her.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Ying'er lifted the curtain, and Baochai and Daiyu walked in.

"We didn't disturb you two, did we?" Baochai said with a smile.

They both stood up, and Baochai pulled them to sit down again.

She kept Jia Wei's instructions in mind and after a few casual words, she asked about Xing Xiuyan's family situation.

Just now Baochai asked Ding Baiying a few questions and learned that Xing Xiuyun's family rented a house in the temple, which meant that their family was very poor.

If this is the case, with Jia Wei's power and a generous betrothal gift, the Xing family will definitely be eager to marry their daughter into the marquis's mansion.

But Baochai was thoughtful and afraid of hurting Xing Xiuyun, so she wanted to understand her feelings first and then persuade her.

Although Xing Xiuyan's family was poor, she was very calm: "My family is poor, and the harvest is not good. It is difficult to make ends meet. The two elders decided to choose a day to go to Beijing to live with my aunt."

After hearing this, Baochai liked Xing Xiuyun's contentment with poverty and her dignified attitude more.

"The roads have been a bit unsettled lately, with serious banditry. It's not safe for your family to follow the caravan."

Baochai smiled and said, "Why don't we ask Miss Xing and the two elders to come with us? It just so happens that we are also going back to the capital, and there will be many people on the road, so we can take care of each other."

If you follow the team from the Marquis' Mansion, you will definitely have a smooth journey.

But Baochai's kindness to her made her a little confused.

Both the Ningguo and Rong mansions are about to reach the fifth mourning period, and Madam Xing is Jia She's second wife, so the Ningguo Mansion and her Xing family are the most distant relatives among the distant relatives.

But the Marquis's wife was so kind to her, it would be ungrateful of her if she refused.

Moreover, as a woman, Xing Xiuyan was also worried about the long journey, and it would be best if she could arrive in the capital safely.

He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Second Sister-in-law. I will ask my father when I get back."

Baochai smiled and said, "Sit down, don't be so distant."

Miaoyu looked at Baochai's eagerness and had some guesses...

Daiyu was not a fool. Thinking back to what Jia Wei had just said to Baochai, she found it hard to believe...

Here, Jia Wei also met Xing Xiuyan's parents, Xing Zhong and his wife.

Xing's mother was a law-abiding lower-class woman, still charming, while Xing's father was somewhat unpresentable, with crude manners and a servile attitude.

He said a few simple words and gave him twenty taels of silver as usual.

If a poor relative could not make ends meet and came to the Ningguo Mansion to seek help, according to custom, he would be given twenty taels of silver.

Just like Granny Liu.

Afterwards, Xing Xiuyan reunited with Xing Zhong and his wife, and when she learned that she could go to the capital with Jia Wei, she readily agreed.

Jia Wei praised Baochai in his heart, and went with the flow, letting the three members of the Xing family stay temporarily in Yangzhou City and wait for their return.

Afterwards, Jia Wei led the girls out of the temple and headed towards Yangzhou City...
