Behind the desk, Xue Baochai held this collection of lyrics in her hand, straightening her graceful body, and stared at the pages of the book in front of her with her beautiful eyes focused on her, as if she was fully attracted by the contents on it.

But if she looked closer, it would be easy to find that her pupils were divergent and her eyes were not focused on the book at all.

Although Aunt Xue has tried her best to isolate the rumors outside, who is Baochai? As early as when the eulogy of the "dead wife" on the snow pile was discovered, she had already expected that she would become a laughing stock.

The more strict the guardianship at home is, the more it confirms her speculation.

When I was in the Grand View Garden in the past, who didn’t know that she loved to cherish her feathers the most, and even if it was a very small matter, she would never lose her word?

Now, he has become a clown in the laughing chat in the city for no reason...

This made Xue Baochai feel like a knife was stolen every moment, but in order to make her mother feel relieved, and in addition, she was unwilling to show embarrassment in front of others, she had to deliberately pretend to be calm.

In just a few days, it is not an exaggeration to say that you live like a year.

So much so that she had to use more powder to cover up the haggardness on her face - you should know that in the Grand View Garden, she was known for her shiny and delicate skin, and she didn't like the luster, so she always had a plain face.

At this time, a hurried footsteps woke Baochai up, who was stunned and ecstatic. She first turned over a page of the book as if nothing had happened, and then looked up at Ying'er who was walking in.

Since that night, Ying'er's position has turned 180 degrees - although the people around her have been angry that Baoyu's actions have mostly changed their attitudes, Ying'er's changes are obviously different from others.

Xue Baochai knew that she had misunderstood something, but this kind of thing would only become darker and darker. Moreover, since Qingwen exposed the complaint, she would never dare to leak Lin Daiyu's story to Ying'er.

"girl."

Ying'er held a letter in both hands and walked to the table to hand it to Baochai, explaining: "Uncle Jiao has just arrived and has also brought you a letter written by Grandma Jiao."

As he said that, he couldn't help but sneer: "I heard that Mr. Bao was in the Jiao family. Because I heard that he lived in the yard where Miss Lin used to live, I cried and shouted about Lin Meimei every day - Humph~ I was still there two days ago

I was crying at Qin Zhong, and now I was crying at Miss Lin again. This is not the same as..."

"Okay, don't mention him again."

Xue Baochai stopped her words, looked at the letter in her hand, and a little doubt flashed in her eyes.

It is not surprising that Shi Xiangyun wrote a letter to herself. Now that she is getting older, she is becoming more and more restricted by her mother-in-law Xu. Even if she is close, she will be difficult to travel. So the day before yesterday when she heard that Baoyu made a fuss, she wrote a letter.

Comfort yourself.

But this is the problem. She just wrote a letter the day before yesterday, why are she now worshipping the letter?

And was it delivered by Brother Jiao himself?

Thinking of Jiao Shun's "confession" that night, Xue Baochai had some speculations. After opening the letter, it was true that although the letter was named Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu was inviting her to continue writing "Farewell My Concubine"

》 story.

If he didn't know Lin Daiyu's current situation, just seeing this letter, Xue Baochai might have mistakenly thought that Lin Daiyu was deliberately mocking her.

But now one has anonymous name and has become an outdoor room, and the other has become a laughing stock. They are both people who have fallen into the world, so what are you going to be suspicious about? In the eyes of Lin Daiyu, who values ​​feelings, Xue Baochai is far inferior to her now;

In the view of Xue Baochai, who pays attention to status, the situation between the two is only equal.

So after reading this letter, Baochai was more confused and lost, such as the alliance between wood and stone, and the marriage of gold and jade. Now, looking back, it is apart from the absurdity and funnyness, it is vaguely like a curse, and the source of this curse is naturally

It's Jia Baoyu.

She couldn't help but secretly fantasize again, if she had chosen Jiao Shun and given Baoyu to Lin Daiyu, what would the situation be like now?

"Girl, girl?"

At this time, Ying'er's call interrupted her thoughts again. She looked up and listened to Ying'er, "There is another thing. The eldest grandmother and the third girl came just now, saying that the palace ladies gave the reward, and said that this time

When I went home to visit my relatives, I was to visit the old lady who was unwell, and I was to meet my new wife who had just passed the door."

Baochai frowned when she heard this.

This sounds kind, but it actually contains the meaning of pressure.

I thought Baoyu did something like that, Rongguo Mansion should let go of his figure, who would have thought...

This is not the first time she has been under pressure since she married Baoyu. Every time she has to choose to make a certain degree of compromise, which has also made her feel depressed all the time after returning to Rongguo Mansion.

For this reason, a feeling called "unwillingness" gradually became depressed in Baochai's heart - she was able to judge the situation and take the overall situation into consideration, but why did she compromise every time? Could it be that if you take the overall situation into consideration, you will be dependent on the power.

Positive?!

Now Jia Yuanchun's pressure has undoubtedly made her unwillingness reach its peak!

She clenched her pink fists and bit her teeth lightly, and after a long time, she breathed out and said, "Go and tell my wife for me, and I will return to Rongguo Mansion at the beginning of next month."

Even if she is unwilling to reach the peak, she still dares not disobey the pressure from Concubine Xiande.

"girl."

Although Ying'er also understood that this was a choice Xue Baochai would definitely make, she still couldn't help feeling frustrated, but what if she was angry? Even if the girl got along with Mr. Jiao, she wouldn't be able to borrow it from it.

His power.

Alas ~

It would have been great if the girl had chosen Mr. Jiao. The third-rank imperial edict was there, and the mother-in-law was pampering and loving her husband, so she didn't have to worry about the family affairs.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.

Then she sighed, Ying'er went to tell us about the decision made by Baochai.

Baochai was alone in the study for a while, then picked up a pen and wrote a reply letter to "Shi Xiangyun", promising to continue writing "Farewell My Concubine" with her.

…………

at the same time.

After completing the mission of delivering the letter, he secretly made an appointment with Aunt Xue after dusk, Jiao prepared to go home by the way.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I ran into Jia Baoyu with a bitter face and Jia Rong who came to pick him up.

When Jia Rong saw Jiao Shun, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile on her face and greeted her deeply: "I still think I can't see my uncle - when will my uncle have time to go to our mansion to sit in, so that we can get along with my uncle's fortune.

?”

What he really wants to get involved is actually the ‘pregnancy’ energy.

In the past, I hoped that Xu would get pregnant, but more to compete with Xiong Ge'er, but now that Jiao Shun has become a real and nameless minister, Jia Rong naturally hopes to use this to tie up this backer.

"Next time, next time."

Jiao Shungang said casually, and Jia Baoyu next to him rushed up again, grabbed his sleeve and complained: "Brother Jiao, will you be able to go home with me?"

Thinking of his heartfelt voice and affection when mourning his deceased wife Qin Zhong, Jiao Shun felt a layer of goose bumps on his body. He broke free from his hand without any trace, shook his head and smiled, "What you deserve to face is always to go."

When faced with it, I can protect you for a while, but I can’t protect you for a lifetime.”

He broke away from here, but Jia Rong held Baoyu's arm down, and felt relieved.

As a fellow, Jia Rong is very considerate of Baoyu's actions - who can't not love someone as cute as Qin Jingqing?

Seeing Jiao Shun's resentment, Jia Baoyu cried and said with a sad face, "It's good to be able to protect for a while. When the wife calms down, she will naturally be able to avoid the pain of flesh and blood. Good brother, it depends on your daily love.

Come on, help me this time!"

Although he didn't reach out to pull it again this time, Jiao Shun still felt a chill.

Because he was afraid that he would be entangled in the street and then tired of his innocent reputation - Jiao was not afraid of other infamous, but he was definitely unwilling to get involved in the beauty of Longyang.

So I had to nod and said, "Stop, for the sake of my third sister, I will accompany you for another time."

Baoyu was overjoyed, as if he had won the gold medal of avoiding death.

After all, even if he is not enlightened on this, he can vaguely feel the current situation of the yin and yang transfer between Rongguo Mansion and Jiao Family. So as long as Jiao Shun is willing to come forward, the master and wife will definitely sell him some face.

So Jiao Shun went back to his house and said, then he and his two people rushed to Rongguo Mansion.

Before he could enter the door, Jia Baoyu said intimidatingly. Because he heard that Mrs. Wang was going to pick him up, Jia Zheng specially sent Qin Xian to wait in front of the door, and just waited for him to come back to take him first.

before.

When Jia Baoyu heard that his father had invited him, he felt that the two battles were fought and looked back at Jiao Shun pitifully.

Jiao Shun thought of his wolves ambitions towards Xue Baochai, and felt a little guilty about him, so he took the initiative to say, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to see your uncle. It just so happens that there are some old examples in the Zhan Shi Mansion. I want to ask for advice.

.”

Baoyu was granted a general amnesty, but he thought with regret that if the Jiao family had not moved out, he could always pull the flag into a tiger's skin.

Jia Zheng had already prepared the family rules, and just waited for Baoyu to come and he wanted to give him some colors to see.

But seeing Jiao Shun walking in his head, he had to leave the stick in his hand and greet him, "Chang Qing is not in the yamen, why do you have time to send this rebellious son back?"

Jiao Shun bowed and smiled, "I wanted to ask my uncle for advice in some things, but my aunt sent someone to pick up Brother Bao and I came here uninvited."

Jia Zheng glanced Baoyu with a calm face, then gave in and said, "This is a coincidence. I happened to have something to discuss with you."

When they arrived inside, the two of them took their seats, but Jia Baoyu did not dare to sit down. He just stood behind Jiao Shun with his hands and feet, treating him as a shield.

Little did Jia Zheng know that seeing his ungrateful look, his anger became more and more intense, and he just couldn't do anything in front of Jiao Shun.

He took a deep breath and then said to Jiao Shun: "The Empress wrote to her in the morning and mentioned Yun Yatou specifically, but she didn't know that it would be convenient for her nephew to be there? If possible, she might as well attend with Yun Yatou."

In fact, Jiao Shun was involved in the visit to her relatives two years ago.

However, at that time, his status was not so high, and he was not related to Rongguo Mansion, so he only helped him from the side, but was not allowed to meet the virtuous concubine.

But now it is different. Even if he doesn't have this idea, Jia Yuanchun will not be able to ignore his true pillar of Rongguo Mansion, so he mentioned Shi Xiangyun many times in the letter.
To be continued...
