The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 204
The ladies of Jia's family didn't know that Fang Guan had such an adventure, and after hearing Xiuyan's words, they were all amazed, and even Li Wan, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion: "As the saying goes, it's good, ten years Hedong, ten years in Hexi, when the mother visited relatives, I remember that Kid Qiang was the one who went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy things? At that time, when a dozen little girls entered the house, ouch, they looked so pitiful. My heart ached when I saw it!"

Suyun, Li Wan's girl, hurriedly answered, "Grandma also found several clothes from when she was young and sent them to Lixiangyuan. At that time, Fangguan will have to live."

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips and kept laughing: "Your grandma's bodhisattva heart, wouldn't anyone know about it without you helping to publicize it? Among the grandmas and girls here, from Grandma Zhen to Miss Four, who hasn't helped them yet? Like! Only your grandma is so wordy!"

Suyun immediately turned red in embarrassment, Li Wan scolded Wang Xifeng with a smile: "Good girl Feng, this is a trick to use my girl to scold me! See if I don't tear your glib mouth!"

The two laughed and made a fuss, and everyone laughed too, except Yingchun was a little sentimental.

When Lixiangyuan was disbanded that day, Mrs. Wang was the one who decided to let those girls go home.Among them, there were seven or eight who were unwilling to go back. The old lady saw that these little actors were all good-looking, and the idle girls were similar to them, so she decided to give the civil servants and others to each of them.

Needless to say, Bao Dai two, the old lady chose the best girl for them, Shi Xiangyun and Tan Chun also got their own income, but the latter was the only one among the three springs.

The fourth girl, Xichun, has never competed with the people in the Rongguo Mansion for anything. The little girl understood that she was originally her elder brother and sister-in-law who were lazy to support her. The people in the house over there.But not to welcome the spring, this matter is a bit unreasonable.

Yingchun just wanted to shrink her body back, but inadvertently met Xing Xiuyan's eyes, Yingchun's body was shocked, then bit her lower lip, straightened her body strongly, and pretended to be calm and composed for everyone to see .

Xiuyan waited until they had had enough laughing, then slowly got up: "Second sister-in-law greeted everyone for me, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly followed up: "My good sister, I have something to say to Fang Guan, so you can take me with you!" Baoyu: "Good brother, I can see you when I was at home! But not now, think about it, after all, Fang Guan entered the Beijing Palace. If someone heard that you went to his house behind your back My aunt, it’s not good to spread the word!”

Unexpectedly, Xiuyan raised her hand to stop Li Wan, she smiled lightly and said, "Hey, Brother Bao is not that kind of person, besides, it's not like Fang Guan has never received favor from Brother Bao before, asking her to give Brother Bao a present It should be, the two sister-in-laws don't have to worry."

Seeing that Xing Xiuyan was willing to speak for him, Jia Baoyu jumped up and down happily, fearing that Li Wan and Youshi would unite to embarrass him, he hurriedly begged with his face salivating.Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes and saw Xing Xiuyan's gaze towards him again, so he nodded and smiled and said, "You too, don't brothers Bao know what is the priority? Besides, Fang Guan's background, the King of Beijing Jing has long known clearly , it’s okay for Big Sister Xing to take her to see you. You guys are just too much. Oh, how do you say that word?”

Coco Li chuckled lightly and said, "Did Grandma Lian say 'worrying about the sky'?"

Wang Xifeng slapped her hands and smiled coquettishly: "Isn't that what you said! Our eldest sister has been studying with my husband recently, and she keeps talking about those literary things. I don't have a headache listening to it!"

He does not mean that.

Li Wan's eyes could not help moving to Wang Xifeng's slightly swollen belly. It was only a year ago that Sister Feng was still suffering from serious and minor illnesses in Rongguo Mansion, her face was sallow, and she only used thick powder to cover up her decadent look.But look now!In the blink of an eye, it has only been a year, and Wang Xifeng is like a rose that has been pampered and irrigated, blooming bright red in front of everyone.

On the other hand, what kind of life did I live with Lang Geer!
Li Wan couldn't help feeling sad from his heart, the corners of his eyes were sore, and tears dripped down several times in his eyes.Coco Li had sensed something wrong with her cousin early on, so she hurriedly pressed her hand lightly on Li Gongcai's shoulder, Li Wan was startled, and realized that she was about to lose her composure, reluctantly suppressed her sadness, and then gave Li Coco a wry smile of gratitude.

Everyone's topic naturally turned to Sister Qiao, and Wang Xifeng seemed to have endless things to say, and she held on to everyone.Jia Baoyu followed behind Xiuyan like a little mouse, following every step, fearing that Xiuyan would regret leaving him on the way.

"Sister Xing, why is Fang Guan looking for you?" Baoyu salivated to make fun of him, and Meilian stopped him with her hand in a very cold voice: "Second Master Bao, be more self-respecting, men and women are different, you should pay attention good."

Jia Baoyu smiled shyly and said, "Sister Xing never cared about such worldly etiquette. I often told Sister Lin and Girl Yun that among these sisters in the family, no one can match Sister Xing in terms of ability; Stand shoulder to shoulder with Sister Xing."

Xiuyan couldn't look up to her smile, so she stopped in her tracks and looked at Jia Baoyu teasingly: "Then according to Brother Bao, anyone who pays attention to etiquette, or is greedy for this worldly wealth, must be a layman among laymen. ?”

Jia Baoyu nodded as a matter of course: "Of course! It's a pity that there are very few people who have the knowledge of Sister Xing, and only the King of Beijing is a little bit like me. Otherwise, they would have eight palanquins to invite me to go, and I would too. No."

Xiuyan shook her head in disapproval. Jia Baoyu was too naive. Looking at it now, he and Jia Zheng deserved to be father and son. Almost stupid.

It's a pity that Jia Baoyu is not as lucky as his father Jia Zheng.

Jia Zheng was born with a shrewd mother, and Wang's intelligence is not as good as Jia Zheng's.

Xiuyan sighed briefly: "I heard that you haven't gone to study with the third prince recently?" Jia Baoyu blushed and hesitated: "A few years ago, the third prince suffered from typhoid fever, and the imperial doctor told him to rest. , Going to the study room means that the Third Prince’s class is exempted, and it’s meaningless for me to go by myself. It’s not too late to ask the children of the honored family to meet me, so I’ll simply ask for leave and stay at home until the Third Prince recovers from illness .”

In fact, Jia Baoyu only told half the truth, the third prince was indeed ill, and was indeed ordered by the imperial physician to rest in the palace, but he recovered early on New Year's Eve, and he was still with Xiaozong on the day of the palace banquet, He was ordered to toast with several Shangshu lords, and had a secret fight with the eldest prince for this.But the third prince started to socialize frequently since the beginning of the year, and he never mentioned asking Jia Baoyu to return to the upper study.Mrs. Wang was so anxious that her temples turned white, but Baoyu stubbornly refused to give in.

Xiuyan smiled and said, "That's fine, you're getting older, and even Brother Lang has been selected as a scholar, and now he's just like you. When the next big exam, both of your uncle and nephew will be on the list, it's also a good idea." The old lady's thoughts are taken into account. The third prince values ​​Wu Shengwen, and the celebrities around him are all young masters in the general's mansion. You can't get in the way when you go, why don't you just study at home for three years. Wait for the next class to become famous again."

Jia Baoyu spat out a few words sourly: "I'm afraid I won't be as lucky as a young master."

Xiuyan chuckled, "Brother Bao!"

Jia Baoyu looked at Xiuyan aggrievedly, and a begging voice rang in her ears: "Sister Xing, sister Lin, she and the son of the Gan family are not at all."

Xiuyan stretched out her hand a little, and looked at him half jokingly and half warningly: "Brother Bao, be careful, there are few virtuous sons, and younger sister Lin and him can also be called a match made in heaven. Brother Bao loves younger sister Lin As much as I love Sister Lin, don't we both long for her!"

"That's what you said," Jia Baoyu insisted and wanted to get some more benefits from Xiuyan, but Xiuyan had already coldly refused to say such words, turned her head and went into the corridor.

Fang Guan in the flower hall was impatient for a long time ago, and suddenly heard his little maid hurried in to say that the people from the Xing family had arrived, Fang Guan hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and sat upright.Xiuyan just stepped in, and what she saw was this scene, she couldn't help smiling.

Fangguan's figure is not tall, but he still wears a squirrel silver-trimmed cloak that reaches to the ground, which makes Fangguan look bloated. You can tell from the color and style that it is someone else's worn-out item.But Fangguan itself is not ugly, and there is a bit of frivolity in her delicate appearance.The pampered life in the past few days has made her petite and fleshy more expensive, a little more than the money of the master and girl.She was wearing a pair-breasted small jacket with sapphire blue trim and satin trim on a lake blue background, and a twelve-panel floral skirt underneath. A red silver gilt jasper hairpin was inserted in the lightly gathered temples, and a gold-encrusted pearl chain was worn in one hand. The jewels are so dazzling that people dare not look directly at them.

Fang Guan stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "Greetings to the girl."

Xiuyan hurriedly asked Meilian to help her up, and smiled: "You are now Aunt Fang in the palace, so you don't have to be so polite with me." Xiuyan's eyes skipped over the four maids standing beside Fangguan, all of whom were also delicate and beautiful. , not inferior to Meilian and Mio.It seems that Fangguan is not only living well in the Beijing Palace, but is also very favored!

Fangguan lowered her eyebrows shyly: "Anyway, the girl is my lifelong benefactor. If I don't show respect to the girl when I see her, not only the prince will scold me for not obeying the rules, but I will also feel uneasy in my conscience."

Seeing that she spoke calmly and calmly, Xiuyan guessed that the palace had specially sent someone to teach Fang Guan this kind of etiquette.Because of this speculation, Gu Xiuyan looked more carefully, and sure enough, she found that Fangguan was thinner than when he left a while ago, and the cloak on his body seemed to be hanging on it.The foster nuns in the palace are definitely not ordinary people, and Fang Guan will not benefit from teaching them.

Xiuyan smiled kindly: "No wonder people in the capital say that the Beijing Palace treats people well, which is really convincing."

Jia Baoyu stood aside, scratching his ears, and when Xing Xiuyan finally finished speaking, he hurriedly came forward: "Fang Guan, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Fang Guan's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed, "Thank you for the praise of Second Master Bao, it is the prince who teaches well."

The maidservant behind her took two steps forward with a cold face, her tone was indifferent: "Aunt Fang, it's getting late, and my aunt has to go back to serve the princess for dinner. Aunt Fang, don't forget the important matter entrusted by the prince!"
