The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 33 Goodbye Before Leaving, Sisters Can't Be Separated

(Thank you Xiaoguang for the PK ticket! (*^__^*) hee hee...)
Pingping hurried from the front yard to the back yard, and before entering the house, he heard intermittent crying from inside, accompanied by Miss Xing's soothing words.Ping'er couldn't help wondering, Miss Lin and Baoyu were like a good person, they sent someone from a long way, why don't they like it but feel sad?

Ping'er was suspicious, so he lifted the curtain and entered the hall, facing a long table made by Suzhou Shuimo, sitting and standing behind the table were Miss Xing and Miss Lin.

Ping'er glanced winkingly, and there was an acquaintance standing a few steps away from the table, but she was the daughter-in-law of Jia Baoyu's nanny, Nanny Li.Ping'er laughed and said: "You are not at home to serve your mother-in-law, why did you send you here?"

Li Gui's family was feeling uncomfortable, and suddenly seeing Ping'er came to ask him something, he hurriedly apologized and smiled: "Greetings, Miss Ping'er, my mother-in-law is strong, and she doesn't need us to wait by her side, because the second master Bao wants to send me to be the head of the family." In Suzhou, I was afraid that I would not understand what I had to say, which would make Miss Lin anxious, so I sent me to follow."

Li Gui's family secretly looked at Miss Lin from the corner of their eyes, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I don't think I'm a clumsy person, but I still made Miss Lin sad. Miss Ping, please help me persuade, if I go back to Master Bao and ask, I know I did such a stupid thing, I was afraid that Second Master Bao would fight me desperately!"

Xing Xiuyan raised her head and glanced at Li Gui's house, feeling displeased with the lady's unrestrained speech, "Sister-in-law Li, don't say that, be careful Miss Lin will be even more sad."

Xiuyan pushed Daiyu, who was still sad: "Look at this incident, I blame me. What kind of prescription do you want? It makes sense for Second Master Bao to be cautious. It's okay for people to send a proper sister-in-law to ask about it." There is nothing wrong with it. You misunderstood Second Master Bao's intentions, my sister, look, he sent things all the way! It's all for your sake."

After listening to it for a long time, Ping'er vaguely understood what was going on.It turned out that when Miss Xing's best friend came to the house and said those words, Miss Lin was very concerned about it, and wrote a letter and sent it to the capital, saying that she wanted those ancient prescriptions for rouge.From Ping'er's point of view, as long as it is what Miss Lin wants, even if it is the moon in the sky, Baoyu will get it down.Unexpectedly, Fang Zi didn't send any of them, and Baoyu secretly asked in the letter who else had deceived Miss Lin.

Ms. Lin regards Ms. Xing as her own sister. Now that Baoyu is so suspicious, how can she not be angry?

Seeing this, Ping'er also persuaded her, and Daiyu gradually stopped her tears, and asked Li Gui's family with red eyes: "Baoyu is not such a stingy person, is someone gossiping in his ear?"

Li Gui's family twitched and lowered her head, Daiyu was sure that her guess was correct, she thought about who in Baoyu's house didn't want to see her, but after much deliberation, she couldn't find a suitable candidate.To say that the most tricky person in Baoyu's house is undoubtedly Qingwen, but she and Qingwen have always been well watered, and Qingwen is not that strong.Or is it autumn pattern, musk moon?No, Baoyu just uses them to bring tea and water, how can he follow their ideas in everything?
Lin Daiyu pawed and pawed the big girls in Jia Baoyu's house, but she didn't suspect Xiren.But so far there has been a small gap between him and Jia Baoyu, and I don't know if it can be regarded as a good thing.

Li Gui's family intended to tell Miss Lin everything that happened in the capital at the right time, but at this moment, acquaintances and acquaintances pushed her so hard that Li Gui's family could only keep silent.

This Li Gui's family does not necessarily have their hearts turned to Lin Daiyu, but their whole family is counting on Baoyu to make a living. Seeing that Baoyu has been entangled by that foxy girl Xiren in the past two or three years, and has disrespected Mother Li several times in succession, what if they wait until the time comes? When her mother-in-law passed away and the tea was cold, Baoyu would never remember his grandma's kindness.

Li Gui's family was also planning ahead, thinking that the old lady wanted to have a kiss, so Li's family planned to curry favor with Miss Lin. Are they still afraid of a small attacker making trouble?

Li Gui's family suppressed their complicated thoughts, Xiuyan had already opened his mouth and said with a smile: "This sister-in-law is going out all the way, I will ask Miss Ping'er to take her down for a hot meal, and Miss Lin will invite her to talk in the evening Son."

Ping'er hastily responded, she was about to ask about Second Mistress, and Miss Xing's words matched Ping'er's thoughts.Ping'er and Lin Daiyu took leave and took Li Gui's family to the front yard for dinner.

Xing Xiuyan also took advantage of the situation and dismissed Xueyan and the others, leaving only Zijuan in the house to serve.

"You can change your temper in the future! You will cry if you say a few words that don't suit your wishes. If this Li Gui's family is honest, it's fine. If it's a bad-mouthed one, tell your aunt about today's incident. Haven’t there been a lot of incidents?” Xing Xiuyan walked to the basin shelf in front of the window, twisted a handkerchief with cold water and handed it to Daiyu: “Take this and apply it, it looks like a rabbit with red eyes.”

Zijuan came up to wipe Daiyu's face in person, and echoed Xing Xiuyan's words: "Listen, girl, even Miss Xing said the same thing, so you can see that I'm not the only one talking. Master Bao is very thoughtful, and girl doesn't know , maybe you are worried about the long distance, and the prescription is very important, so wait for the girl to reply and send it when it is ready?"

Xiuyan smiled and said: "I didn't think much of Second Master Bao before, if he really thinks about these things, it can be seen that he is still a safe person."

After hearing this, Daiyu stopped wiping her face and looked up at Xing Xiuyan.

Xiuyan smiled and said: "I have heard people mention the name of Master Bao before, how many people in this world can be born with jade? But to be honest, I don't think so in my heart, I always feel that it is a joke that spread rumors, listen That's all, it can't be true. Later, I heard that Bao Erye hates studying and doesn't like to study and make progress. He hangs around with girls every day, and he feels even more uncomfortable. My younger sister is a person who has studied, such as Lord Xinling, Mr. Mengchang, or the founder of the country. How many people who do great things spend all day in the powder pile? It's not that I said bad things about the second master Bao, but at that time my sister heard people talking about the second master Bao from my aunt's house. That's what I thought in my heart."

Daiyu was silent, she didn't know that sister Xing was telling the truth, but she and Baoyu were close, so she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Xiuyan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile: "It's too far away, sister, don't take it to heart, Second Master Bao doesn't study anymore, but his family still has a sister who was a concubine and concubine, even if he relies on the shade, Second Master Bao You can also be a part-time official.”

Daiyu forced a smile on her stiff face: "I'm afraid Baoyu doesn't appreciate it. He hates dealing with those officials around the second master the most."

Xiuyan's heart was moved, and she hurriedly said: "Others are others, just look at how the second master Bao treats sister Lin, I think the person who treats you must be different. I heard from my mother that my sister's Mr. Xixi borrowed yours. Guang'er, has become a very popular figure in Jinling now? Baoyu doesn't want to associate with others, but she will definitely welcome your teacher."

Zijuan stood by and listened, feeling ashamed. What Miss Xing said was really accurate.Many small officials surrounded the second master like flies, and Baoyu could still reward him with a few words from time to time, but only Jia Yucun, Baoyu never gave a good face.Fortunately, Miss Lin didn't know about it, and she didn't pay attention to such trivial matters. Now that Miss Xing said it like a joke, Zijuan felt that Miss Lin would be paranoid at night.

Sure enough, Daiyu didn't close her eyes half the night, and Zijuan didn't dare to persuade her further. Whenever she asked Daiyu, she felt that the girl seemed to have grown up overnight, and when talking about Baoyu, she also seemed extremely cold.

The days are getting warmer day by day, with occasional patters of spring rain, accompanied by the crowing of partridges, embellishing the city of Suzhou very charmingly.The secluded alleys on the street, the half-destroyed stone bridges, the weeping willows, and the countless peach blossoms protruding from the deep part of the courtyard, can't keep the spring scenery of the garden.

Outside the gate of the Xing family, dozens of carts and horses lined up in a neat line. The coachmen who drove the carts were all well-known local handlebars in Suzhou, followed by more than a dozen bodyguards, because they belonged to the family of the county grandpa. These bodyguards are very serious when their relatives are traveling.

On the steps of the door, Jia Lian felt a little bit reluctant before leaving, "Uncle, I don't know when I will meet again after I leave, you and auntie should take care of your health, and you don't have to do everything personally, you are tired and call yourself aunt and cousin Distressed."

Xing Zhong was dressed in an official uniform. He sent Jia Lian and others to go to the Yamen to do errands. The whole person was wrapped in a light green official robe, and his spirit was particularly hale and hearty.Xing Zhong smiled and said: "Your family is busy visiting relatives, and it is expected that you will not come back in a short time. Don't worry, I will take care of it for you at the Shibo Department and will not delay your business. If I can go to Beijing to report on my work in the future , I must also go and see your wife and master."

Jia Lian was really reluctant to leave his uncle's family, and later on Daiyu and Heping'er were even more inseparable from Xiuyan's mother and daughter.

Lu took a hand in one hand and comforted: "If our master does a good job, he can go to Beijing to report on his work in more than two years, and then the whole family will go to Rongguo Mansion to find you. Ping'er, then don't treat us as a fool." Poor relatives, abducted and pushed to the concierge, sent a woman to entertain us!"

Ping'er was sad, but when she heard Lu Shi say this, she burst into tears and laughed, "Ma'am!"

Xiuyan took Daiyu's other arm and said in a low voice, "Even if Dad doesn't go to Beijing, I'm still asking Mom to take me to see you."

Daiyu was overwhelmed with surprise, and then thought of the distance between Suzhou and the capital. If it wasn't a major event, how could Mom ask Sister Xing to go to Beijing?Daiyu couldn't help being a little sad, Xing Xiuyan smiled lightly and said: "Zhengde has reached the age of studying, and I heard that there is a Bishan Academy in the suburbs of Beijing. Mr. is a great Confucianist in the world, and he was a prince and tutor. Now that the emperor is on the throne, this You don’t want to be in the imperial court, so I asked you to still teach in the academy, which has helped His Majesty find a lot of talents.”

Daiyu suddenly realized, she clapped her hands again and again: "Sister can't break her promise!"

"Don't worry, if it's two or three years at most, or one or two years at least, I will definitely visit you in the capital."

Jia Lian took Lin Daiyu from the capital to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Wu County. He lost all the things that should be lost along the way, but he didn't expect to use ten carts to load them when he went back.Xing Xiuyan used up a carload of things for Daiyu to buy as a gift, and even Ping'er didn't go out at all, and had his own private house and half a carload when he left.Another example is Zijuan, Xueyan, Chunxian, etc. Xing Xiuyan has no time for their hands. Zijuan is better, but Chunxian and Xueyan are still at the age of playing around, and they can't control their mouths at all, and they are decent. The thing is, after returning to Jia's mansion, he told so many things about the eldest girl of the Xing family, and Jia Baoyu couldn't wait to see her.
