The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 141
Baoyu heard that Xing Xiuyan didn't mention anything, but only asked him if he knew the son of the Mei family, and looked suspiciously at Xue Baochai.

The Mei family wanted to marry the daughter of the Xue family, and there was a lot of trouble in the mansion. Every time Xiren came back from Hengwuyuan, or sent something to Aunt Xue, he would sigh and say that Sister Bao was such a good girl. , wouldn't it be a pity to marry into the Mei family?

Jia Baoyu also thought so at first, but after several encounters in the Beijing Palace, he had a different understanding.

"Sister Xing wants to"

Xiuyan smiled and said: "Look at your nervous appearance, could it be that the three of us can still eat you?" Xiuyan handed Baoyu a fragrant pear: "The little novice in the temple sent it, and said it was refreshing and sweet. Brother Bao, try one?"

Baoyu took it numbly, stared at Xiuyan with round eyes, and took a bite without knowing the taste.

"Brother Bao has a lot of contacts, so you will always hear about Mr. Mei's reputation outside, right?"

Jia Baoyu laughed dryly, "Since when did Sister Xing become a matchmaker? Although I often hear about Mr. Mei's name, I have never heard of it. I'm afraid I won't be able to take on the great responsibility that Sister Xing has given me."

Xiuyan turned her head and laughed with Baochai and Daiyu: "Look at brother Bao, what a smart man, I didn't say anything, he guessed it himself."

Jia Baoyu got up and wanted to run, but Lin Daiyu hurriedly pressed him on the chair, and Daiyu hummed delicately: "It's a pity that you usually talk to Sister Bao, and you are so affectionate, but when it's time to use you, you get cold feet instead. I But regardless of that, if we don’t give us a satisfactory answer today, don’t think about leaving this meditation room.”

When Baoyu heard Daiyu's charming voice, most of his bones froze, "I agree to what Sister Lin says."

They discussed that Jia Baoyu would invite Mr. Mei to Hanmoxuan, and Baochai would take a look from a distance in the private room.Seeing that the three of them didn't seem to be messing around, Baoyu couldn't shirk it, so he reluctantly agreed.

Just as he was talking, there was a noise in front of him, which seemed to be coming from the monastery next door, so Baoyu hurriedly sent the girl to inquire about the news.It was Qiuwen who followed Jia Baoyu to Tiekan Temple to serve, and it was best for Qiuwen to inquire about things. The master asked only one thing, and she had to ask seven or eight things in detail.

After a stick of incense came back, Qiuwen had already found out everything: "The Buddhist monastery next door is lived by the natal sister of Grandma You in the East Mansion. There is a second sister You and a third sister You. Only the little novice monk in Tiekan Temple Go to deliver the fragrant pears, and after leaving, Third Sister You lost the pair of earrings, insisting that the little novice stole them. Now I have to go to the abbot and ask the abbot to blame the little novice!"

Qiuwen frowned, and looked at Jia Baoyu pleadingly: "Second master, I see that little monk is only seven or eight years old, how could he be a thief? Please show kindness and help out! "

Lin Daiyu hurriedly turned her head to Xiuyan: "It must be the little novice who just gave us fragrant pears. That child is very cute, and he will definitely not be a thief."

Seeing that Daiyu was willing to intercede, Qiuwen hurriedly said, "Miss Lin said that the little novice was so frightened that she couldn't say anything except crying that she was not a thief."

Baochai said in a deep voice, "You two younger sisters, follow me to have a look." Before he stepped out of the door, someone came out of the Zen room of the old lady in the main room, but it was from Lin Zhixiao's family. Hissed: "Miss and Master Bao, go in quickly. The old lady is very angry when she hears that the You family next door is making trouble. No, tell me to go over and persuade you. Why do you bother to touch this bad luck?"

"Sister Lin, don't worry, we're not talkative, just stand at a distance to see if it's the little novice's fault, or that in-law, Third Sister You, making trouble for no reason." Daiyu sneered and refused to go back to the room.

Lin Zhixiao's family knew this little aunt's temper, and even the old lady couldn't refute her decision, plus there were two girls, Xing and Xue, it was even harder for Lin Zhixiao's family to say anything. Let them go with them, take Baoyu with them alone, and refuse to let Baoyu leave their sight for half a step.

Here, Third Sister You intentionally made the commotion extremely loud, Second Sister You and Mrs. You anxiously circled back and forth in the meditation room, but couldn't hold back this troublesome Third Sister You.Mrs. You followed Jia Zhen to work in front, and Mrs. You didn't dare to call, which invisibly fueled Third Sister You's arrogance.

Sitting next to her younger sister, Second Sister You begged bitterly: "Good girl, what do you want to do! Don't you want us to give up when the three of us, mother and daughter, are kicked out by the Jia family and there is no place for us anymore?"

Third Sister You's eyes kept looking out, seeing many maidservants peeking in at the gate of the monastery, she couldn't help sneering: "Don't worry, sister, I have my own sense of what I do!"

"Proper measure!" Second Sister You saw that she was obsessed with obsession, and still gritted her teeth, so she couldn't get angry, and opened her mouth, "You really think you are so great? If you didn't provoke the local ruffians in Guo County, why would we bother?" Can't go home?"

Seeing her elder sister scolding her so much, Third Sister You was also depressed: "That's better than elder sister, you don't want to offend those stinky men, but the richer families in the county don't want to associate with our family, don't they just dislike you Watery!"

Seeing that the two daughters were refusing to give in and they were both cursing each other here, Mrs. You kept patting her thighs and crying, "These two scoundrels, their work is killing me! Old man, why don't you kill me?" And take it with you!"

I don't know whether it's the ex-husband or Youshi's own father who is crying for Mrs. You.

The little girls outside the monastery watched the excitement with pursed lips and smiles. Lin Zhixiao’s family saw the farce when they arrived at the door. girl.

Third Sister You looked at Lin Zhixiao's family with three young girls and a brother from a distance, and hurriedly tucked away the broken hair at the temples, and put on a haughty look again.

Mrs. You met Lin Zhixiao's family, and Lin Zhixiao's family often gave those things to You Shi under the order of Jia's mother.Old lady You knew that this was a very respectable housekeeper lady in Rongguo Mansion.

"Why did Sister Lin come in person?" Second Sister You greeted her with a smile: "Sit down quickly, my sister is talking to her brother-in-law in front, but invite her back immediately?"

Lin Zhixiao's family didn't sit down either, and just looked at Second Sister You with a smile: "No need to work, Grandma, she is our ancestor. I heard that Third Aunt seems to have lost something?"

Third Sister You had a sad face on her face: "Sister Lin knows that although our family is not rich and powerful, we are not short of that pair of earrings! Only this one is different. It is a relic left by my father. My father and I My sister is a pair, and now my sister’s is still there, but mine is gone.”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but choke up.

Second Sister You's face was full of embarrassment. Lin Zhixiao's family looked at the little novice kneeling outside, and said with a slight smile, "So that's the case! Then it's our fault. At first, the old lady thought, if Third Aunt is just If you lost an ordinary thing, you should forgive the child for the sake of her old man. But listen now, what the girl lost is not only not an ordinary thing, but also has a lot of history, that's all, I'll go give it to the third aunt Let's ask the abbot of the monastery to discuss justice!"
