The Red Mansions

Chapter 226 Daughter's love, all kinds of melancholy

After hearing Xue Baochai's narration, Xue Baoqin was so frightened that her whole body turned cold.

Home is broken!

Until now, she had never felt so close.

Xue Pan had become a "living dead" back then, and the property of the Xue family had become someone else's pocket, allowing anyone to take it without even the slightest room for resistance.

Even the Xue Wang family and Xue Baochai had to lick their faces, humbly, and take the initiative to marry Jia's family in order to survive.

It can be seen how dangerous it was at the beginning.

What about my own house?
"Cousin is right. If someone really wants to deal with us, she won't give us another chance. Once she does it, she will be thunderous, and she won't give our family a chance to survive!"

Xue Baoqin took a breath and said through gritted teeth.

She was very unwilling, and felt that she had no grievances with those people, so why did she have to kill her family?
"The only thing to blame is that Xue's family is a merchant with a lot of money. It's a proper piece of fat. As long as the wild dogs are determined to pay attention, they will not stop coming to snatch it!"

Xue Baochai said calmly, not surprised at Xue Baoqin's resentment.

When her family encountered that situation, she reacted more than Xue Baoqin.

After all, at that time, her family didn't even have the slightest retreat, was she seeking money, or was she living?
Their family has no choice but to go to Jia's mansion to seek a chance.

No matter how disgusted Mrs. Jia is, she can only lick her face if she doesn't show good looks.

"It's really hateful! Why are their hearts so vicious? Is it possible that our Xue family can only be bullied by them?" Xue Baoqin was so angry that she wiped her tears and choked up with grievances.

Xue Baochai said: "You are also lucky. You found an opportunity to escape when your uncle was just reprimanded by the court. There are many forces staring at him so that he does not dare to act rashly. Otherwise, you will really suffer."

She sighed, and said slowly: "As for Jia's house, both the Wang family will prosper and the Wang family will be harmed, and they share the same spirit. The two sides must be in touch with each other."

"Fortunately, you were not deceived today and agreed to the old lady Jia's arrangement. Otherwise, you would really become my aunt's goddaughter. They want to borrow some money from you, so you can give it obediently, and you will be grateful!"

According to the progress of the construction period, Jia's family-speaking villa will be completed before the end of the year, which is the time to spend money.

Therefore, Wang Ziteng's idea of ​​taking over the property of Xue Biao's family must have joined hands with Jia's family.

Otherwise, no matter how beautiful Xue Baoqin is, Mother Jia wouldn't be rude enough to ask Mrs. Wang to adopt her as a goddaughter, and even said that she should be kept by her side...

Why are you keeping it by your side?Thank goodness she said it!
The man Xue Baoqin just met Jia's mother. When Xue Wang introduced him, he said that he came to the capital to marry the Mei family.

Regardless of whether this is true or not, Mother Jia definitely has no reason to intervene!

If Xue Baoqin really agreed to Jia Mu's request, it would not exceed ten days at most, and Mrs. Wang, the godmother, would probably ask Xue Baoqin to borrow money in person.

Will it be borrowed or not?
Borrowing, there must be borrowing but not repayment.

If not, Mrs. Wang has her own means to coerce Xue Baoqin, making her desperate, obediently offer up the money, and even kowtow to thank Mrs. Wang for her help.

After Xue Baoqin heard Xue Baochai's words without the slightest emotion, she silently closed her eyes and murmured in frustration:

"Almost, I almost couldn't help but agree. If I didn't feel disgusted by that Jia Baoyu's eyes, I would really agree."

Only now did Xue Baoqin really have a clear understanding of the Jia Mansion.

In Jia's mansion, the really powerful people are not Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, nor Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng, etc., only Jia Mu.

As long as this old thing doesn't die, Jia's house will still be Jia's house, and she is a smiling tiger who eats people without spit out bones.

"Sister, when my brother and I came to Beijing, we wanted to find the Jia family as a backer. Of course, the idea is just an idea, but we don't have much intention." Xue Baoqin revealed his heart.

"In the final analysis, even if we want to rely on Jia's family, we still need you to lead the needle. After all, you and Jia's family are relatives."

"One more thing, it's no secret that the people in my brother-in-law's house are at odds with Jia's house. This is also an important reason why I didn't agree to Mother Jia so quickly today and let Mrs. Wang accept me as a goddaughter."

Xue Baochai was noncommittal when he heard the words.

Seeing that Xue Baochai didn't quite believe what she said, Xue Baoqin said anxiously: "Sister, what I said is true, there is no lie!"

"Back when your family came to the capital to seek refuge in Jia's mansion, my brother and I didn't know anything about the inside story. We only knew that you and Jia's mansion had a very close relationship, and we didn't even know that the Wang family and Jia's mansion were so bad..."

Xue Baochai waved his hand and said, "Let's not mention it at this time, no matter what the facts are, you are only a daughter's family, and your brother is the master of the family!"

Xue Baoqin opened her mouth, and seeing that Xue Baochai really didn't want to talk about it with her anymore, she sighed secretly, frowned and began to think.

the other side.

Lin Daiyu got together with Li Wen, Li Qi and Xing Xiuyan.

"You sisters are so well-groomed, how do you look like a girl who is as juicy as a spring onion?"

Lin Daiyu took Li Wen and Li Qi's hands and asked with a smile.

Li Wen covered his mouth with a smile, and replied: "Sister Lin said it funny, what this person looks like depends entirely on his parents, and he can't decide for himself."

"Sister Lin, please don't praise our sisters, don't you look like a fairy girl? We are so envious!" Li Qi said jokingly.

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "Let me tell you, the three of you are all first-class and outstanding girls. If I were a man, I would choose one of you to marry home. Which one to choose!"

After a few people chatted and laughed for a while, Li Wen approached Lin Daiyu and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Lin, I heard that you used to live in Jia's house, why did you move out after all the trouble?"

Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "Isn't it normal for my father to return to Beijing and I to move back home?"

"That's true. If Sister Lin stays in the Jia Mansion, her reputation will be damaged after all." Li Wen echoed.

Li Qi interjected and asked: "Sister Lin, there are rumors outside that Jia's Baoyu is a psychic man, why did I see it today, and it doesn't match the rumors?"

Lin Daiyu thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "I'm not very clear about this. In the past, brother Bao had spirituality, so he was indeed a psychic man, but now..."

Speaking of Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu also thought of the way he looked at her today, which seemed to reveal disgust.

Although she had no other intentions towards Jia Baoyu, her dislike made her sick.

"You despise me, and don't think about your own virtue?" Lin Daiyu frowned and thought.

Jia Baoyu was young, and he didn't do his job all day long. It was good to hang out with the maids at home, and he also messed around with many Tonger brothers, let alone frequenting dirty places like flower shops.

Lin Daiyu had already heard about these things in Jia's residence, but she just didn't want to care about them.

But the way Jia Baoyu looked at her today really made her extremely disgusted. Not to mention that the childhood friendship with Jia Baoyu disappeared, on the contrary, she felt a deep sense of disgust.

"Sister Lin! Sister Lin!" Seeing Lin Daiyu in a daze, Li Wen called out a few times.

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses and said lightly: "I'm fine, let's talk about other things..."

The room was divided into four groups.

One is Jia Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun. The two chatted about how to disguise themselves as men, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

The two are sisters Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin, chatting about housework and future.

The three were Lin Daiyu, Li Wen, Li Qi, and Xing Xiuyan. They mostly talked about their daughter's family affairs, and some rumors about Jia's family.

Only Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun stood hand in hand in front of a painting hanging on the wall, silently observing.

"It's so beautiful. My brother-in-law painted Sister Bao really beautifully. I'll be satisfied when I can draw such a good painting." Jia Xichun said infatuatedly.

Jia Yingchun smiled and said: "Sister Xichun, you are still young, you have plenty of time to slowly figure out how to draw, and you will definitely be able to produce such beautiful paintings in the future."

Jia Xichun shook his head and sighed: "Sister Yingchun, you don't understand. The painting my brother-in-law drew is not just a painting. It is full of brother-in-law's friendship with Sister Bao. It is full of charm and spirituality. Few painters in the world can achieve such boundary."

"I only looked at the beauty, but didn't see the charm and spirituality. Is it so mysterious?" Jia Yingchun was surprised.

Jia Xichun nodded lightly, pulled a strand of hair behind her ear, and said with a smile:
"Just one look at these words, it's sweet and cloying, and every stroke is blended with deep feelings, it's so good..."

Jia Yingchun looked closely for a while, then whispered: "Sister Xichun, if someone draws such a good picture for you, how would you feel?"

"Me?" Jia Xichun froze for a moment, staying where he was, his eyes lost.

Jia Yingchun bit her red lips, and murmured: "If someone can draw such a good painting for me, I don't want to be with him for a lifetime, even if we are happy overnight, I will be satisfied."

"Ah! So shameless!" Jia Xichun became red when he heard the words, but nodded in agreement:

"Although it's embarrassing, I also agree with Sister Yingchun's thoughts. The person who drew this painting deserves it..."

The two looked at each other, and suddenly giggled, leaning forward and backward, and laughed.

Isn't the person they are talking about Jia Yun?

Is it possible that the sisters can really go to Jia Yun and be shameless?
After the two laughed, they regained their composure, their faces were flushed with embarrassment, their scalp was a little numb, for some reason, they even lost the courage to talk to Xue Baochai in the past.

"Brother-in-law..."

Jia Yingchun pursed her lips, looked up at Xue Baochai's portrait again, and felt a ripple in her heart.

Jia Xichun stretched out her small hand, pulling Jia Yingchun, and remained silent.

"Everyone in the house calls me Er Mutou, honest and incompetent, cowardly and fearful, but I am a daughter born to a concubine, how dare I show off the prestige of Miss?"

"My only hope now is to get married early. My husband's family is honest and honest. Even if it's a simple life, I'll be content."

Jia Xichun sighed, and said, "Who says no? People say that I am indifferent to the world and life."

"Based on my status, it is a blessing to be able to live. How can I dare to ask for too much?"

Even now, she still doesn't know whether she is Jia Jing's daughter or Jia Amnesty's daughter.

If it hadn't been for Mother Jia who brought her by her side, she would have died a long time ago...

PS: It's the end of the month, please ask for a ticket.
