The Red Mansions

Chapter 75
Needless to say, Rongguo Mansion is very lively today.

All the members of Jia's family in Beijing, as long as they have a little face, were invited.

Those who came early and those who were highly respected were arranged to sit in some side halls, and most of the rest were arranged in the courtyard.

It was snowing heavily, and some servants took canvas to set up a tent, and burned many braziers with a large pot. Although the cold wind was howling, the big guys didn't feel how cold it was.

The happiest thing I want to talk about today is Jia Mu.

She likes to be lively. Today, apart from the female relatives from the Rongguo Mansion, there are also female relatives from the clan gathered at Jiamu's side. Everyone said something to me, and they talked all over the place, making Jiamu dizzy. .

Even so, Jia's mother was still smiling and in a good mood.

Seeing more and more people coming, Yuanyang whispered a few words in Jiamu's ear, and Jiamu asked Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Sanchun and others who were surrounding her to go out to play first, and come back when they have dinner.

All the girls came out of Jia Mu's courtyard, and Xue Baochai took Lin Daiyu's hand and suggested in a low voice, "Sister Lin, why don't you sit with me for a while?"

"Is there something wrong with Sister Bao?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously.

Xue Baochai shook her head with a smile: "It's nothing, I just want to invite you to talk for a while, if you have other things, you don't have to go."

Lin Daiyu smiled, nodded and said: "I don't have anything to do, I'm just idle and bored when I go back, no matter what, I'll go to your place and sit for a while."

Jia Tanchun heard the conversation between the two of them, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Can you add me, there are people coming and going in the courtyard, but I don't know where to go!"

Xue Baochai nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile, "Sister Tanchun wants to go, I welcome it."

As she spoke, she invited Yingchun and Xichun to come over, but neither of them refused.

Xue Baochai's family of three now lives in Lixiangyuan in Jia's Mansion.

Lixiangyuan was originally the resting place of Duke Rong in his later years. It is small and exquisite, with about ten houses, complete with front hall and back house.

The courtyard has an elegant scenery and is relatively independent, and the street gate is opened separately, so people can come in and out at will, and members of Xue's family don't need to go through the gate of Jia's mansion.

At the same time, there is a corner door in the southwest of the courtyard, which leads to a narrow passage, and after exiting the narrow passage, it is the east courtyard of Mrs. Wang's main house.

Therefore, living in Lixiangyuan is not only convenient to go to the street, but also very convenient to go to the inner house of Jia's mansion.

Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, and Sanchun led a large group of maidservants to Lixiang Courtyard, and on the way they met Xiren and Meiren who were going to Fengjie's Courtyard.

Xue Baochai didn't know Xiren and Charming, but when the others saw them, they came forward to say hello.

"Sister Xiren and Sister Meiren are rare visitors." Lin Daiyu stepped forward to hold Xiren and Meiren's hands, looked them over carefully, and said with a smile.

Xiren pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, you are welcome. We are not rare visitors. We haven't seen each other for a few days. The girl seems to have lost a lot, but the second master Bao has made the girl angry again?"

"Hey, Sister Xiren's hands are so warm." Lin Daiyu said in surprise, rolled her eyes again, and said:

"Why are you mentioning that idiot? It's just that the weather has changed a bit recently and I haven't slept well, so my complexion is a little pale."

As she spoke, she introduced Xue Baochai to Xiren and Meiren.

Xue Baochai looked at Xi Ren and Mei Ren with a smile.

Regarding the two daughters, she not only heard from people in Jia's mansion, but also heard her brother read it a few times after returning home.

I often heard that Xiren and Meiren were very beautiful, but seeing them today, Xue Baochai felt that the rumors were true.

When Xue Baochai looked at Xiren and Meiren, they were also looking at Xue Baochai.

When the Xue family came to Beijing, there was a lot of commotion. Later, Xi Ren and Mei Ren heard from Ping'er and the others that Xue Baochai was as beautiful as a flower and jade, and had a good temper, which was well received by the Jia family.

After the two met Xue Baochai at this moment, they felt that she was indeed extremely beautiful, with smooth muscles and bones, plump appearance, elegant manners, and easy to get close to.

"Brother Yun must like this." Xiren and Meiren looked at each other and thought at the same time.

Although the two women haven't been together with Jia Yun for too long, they know a little about his preferences.

Most men today regard thinness as their beauty, but Jia Yun is a weird person, she just likes plump ones.

After greeting each other, Xue Baochai invited Xiren and Meiren to go to Lixiangyuan together, they hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

Walking on the road, Xue Baochai saw that the charming was carrying a bundle, and asked curiously, "This is the charming girl?"

Xiren replied with a smile: "So that Miss Bao knows, just a few days ago when the maidservant left the mansion, some sisters from the yard joined in and gave presents to the maidservant and the charming woman."

"No, we took the opportunity to buy some small gifts and gave them back."

Lin Daiyu answered: "I know about this, I was there when Zijuan and Xueyan joined the party, so I also took two headdresses and put them together."

The charming woman said with a smile: "Back when I saw the headdress with sister Xiren, I knew it was from Miss Lin. Today we also brought a return gift for Miss Lin. I will show it to her later, but I don't know if Miss Lin likes it." do not like."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "It is enough for you to have this kind of heart, no matter what gift, I will like it."

While talking, Lin Daiyu saw that the skins of Xiren and Meiren were ruddy and tender, but she didn't notice that they were wearing rouge and other cosmetics, so she wondered:

"Sister Xiren, sister Meiren, I haven't seen you for a few days, how did your skin get so good?"

Xue Baochai, who had been watching for a long time, wanted to ask this question a long time ago, so he also said:

"Look, the word "no makeup" is suitable for attacking girls and charming girls. Tell me, how come your skin is so good?"

Xiren and Meiren shook their heads and said nothing. When they were forced to worry, Xiren said, "It's hard to say, you will know later."

"In the future? Why do we have to wait until later to find out?" Xue Baochai thought in confusion.

Lin Daiyu was also curious. After all, there is no woman who does not want to be beautiful, and the quality of the skin is a very important aspect.

Seeing that the attackers and the charming people talked about him from left to right, Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were both intelligent women who knew when enough was enough, so they stopped asking.

……

In the side hall, everyone racked their brains to make suggestions for Jia Yun's lifelong affairs, saying where can there be a good girl, where is a reliable matchmaker, what is the girl's family background and so on.

Jia Yun did not add words, except to say some words of thanks to them, and did not say whether their ideas and news were good or bad.

As everyone was talking, suddenly Jia Rong, Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan rushed in with a group of younger members of the Jia family.

"Haha, we just searched for a lot of places, but we couldn't find them. I didn't expect Brother Yun to be under our noses, but it made it easy for us to find them!" Jia Qiang laughed loudly from behind.

Jia Yun got up, smiled and asked everyone, "Why are you looking for me?"

Xue Pan stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "It's nothing. It's too early to leave for dinner, so I plan to invite you to go to Lixiangyuan Gaole Gaole."

Jia Yun hesitated, "Is this...suitable?"

Jia Qin, who was behind her, suddenly jumped out and said loudly, "Why isn't it suitable? It's rare that we arrived so neatly today, it's a good time for joy."

"Hahaha... Brother Qin is right, Brother Yun, don't hesitate, let's go, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it in Lixiangyuan." Xue Pan stepped forward, took Jia Yun's arm and walked out.
