Bao Toad pushed the door in, took a box, and put it on the table with a grin. Xue Zhen stood up and sat down, and Bao Chan said to Xue Zhen with a smile: "These are four plates of fruit and a small pot of wine, and the eldest grandmother called for the second master." ”

Xue Zhenxiang smiled and said, "Grandma bothered, but it's good to ask the little girls to send it, why bother my sister?"

Bao Toad said, "It's easy to say. My own family, why did the second master say these polite words; besides, our uncle's matter really made the second master worry, and the eldest grandmother wanted to get something to thank the second master herself, and she was afraid that others would be too careful. The second master knows that our family is full of disagreement, and it doesn't matter if you send something, but I'm afraid it will make people gossip. So today I got a little fruit or two and a pot of wine, and asked me to deliver them quietly in person. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xue Zhen with a smile: "Tomorrow, the second master won't say these words again, it's embarrassing to make people listen to it." We are just people at the bottom, serving the uncle, serving the second master, so what's the matter?"

Xue Zhen is loyal and loyal, and the other is young, but he has never seen Jin Gui and Bao Chan treat each other like this, and he thought of what Bao Chan said about Xue Pan just now, which is also reasonable: "Keep the fruit, this wine sister just take it back." I've always had limited alcohol, and I can't drink more than I can drink when I have a glass of alcohol on weekdays. Don't grandma and sister know about it?"

Bao Toad said: "I can be the master of everything else, but this is the only one thing I dare not agree to." The second master knows the temper of the eldest grandmother, and if I take it back, I will not say that the second master does not drink, but will say that I am not satisfied. ”

Xue Zhen had no choice but to stay. Bao Chan was about to leave, and then went to the door to look out, turned around and smiled at Xue Zhen, and pointed to the inside and said, "I'm afraid that she will come to thank you in person?"

Xue Zhen didn't know what he meant, but he sneered: "My sister thanked my grandmother for me." It's cold, be careful to keep it cold. Besides, my uncle and sister-in-law don't have to be subject to these courtesies. Bao Toad didn't answer, and left with a smile.

Xue Zhen always thought that Jin Gui was for Xue Pan's business, or he really didn't want to go, and prepared wine and fruit to thank himself. When I saw Bao Toad's sneaky appearance, I also felt a little suspicious.

I thought about it myself: "Is she the name of her sister-in-law, where is there anything else?" Or Bao Chan is not old enough, and she is embarrassed to do something, but she points to Jin Gui's name, and I don't know." However, it is not easy to ...... the people in my brother's house."

Suddenly, he thought again: "Jin Gui is a person who has no boudoir law, and sometimes she is happy, she dresses very charmingly, and she thinks she is beautiful, but she doesn't know if she has a bad heart? ”

Thinking of this, I was simply afraid. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard a laugh outside the window, which startled Xue Zhen. Xue Zhen thought to himself: "It's not Bao Toad, it's Jin Gui." Just ignore them, and see what they can do?"

After listening to it for a long time, he was silent, and he didn't dare to eat the wine fruit. Closing the door, just about to undress, I heard a slight sound on the window paper. Xue Zhen was fooled by the treasure toad for a while at this time, and his heart was up and down, but he didn't know how to be good. When he heard the slight sound of the window paper, and looked at it carefully, but when there was no movement, he became suspicious, and hid himself, and sat down in front of the lamp, and pondered it in a daze, and took another piece of the fruit, and looked at it over and over again.

Suddenly turned around, saw a wet piece of paper on the window, and when he came over to look at it, he couldn't help but blow it outside, which startled Xue Zhen. Hearing the squeaky laughter, Xue Zhen hurriedly blew out the lamp and lay down with bated breath. I only heard a person outside say: "Why didn't the second master drink wine and eat fruits, and then go to sleep?"

This sentence was still Bao Chan's voice, and Xue Zhen only pretended to be asleep. After two more sentences, I heard a hateful voice outside: "Where in the world is there such an uncivilized person?"

Xue Zhen listened, it was Bao Toad, and it seemed to be the voice of Jin Gui. Only then did I know that they originally meant this, tossing and turning, and did not fall asleep until after the fifth watch.

As soon as dawn arrived, someone came to knock on the door. Xue Zhen was busy asking who it was, but he didn't answer outside. Xue Zhen only got up, and when he opened the door to look, it was Bao Toad, holding his hair, covering his arms, wearing a small tight piece of brocade pipa placket, with a pine green half-new sweat towel tied on it, and no skirt underneath, showing pomegranate red sprinkling pants and a pair of newly embroidered red shoes. It turned out that the toad had not been freshened up, so I was afraid that people would see it and come early to get the plate.

Xue Zhen saw her dressed like this and walked in, and her heart moved again, so she could only ask with a smile: "Why did you get up so early?"

Bao Toad blushed and did not answer, just put the fruit on a saucer, and walked away. Seeing her like this, Xue Zhen knew that it was because of last night, and thought to herself, "That's it." But they were annoyed, so they simply lost their hearts, and they didn't have to entangle. ”

So he put his heart down and called people to scoop water and wash his face. He planned to meditate at home for two days, one to nourish his mind, and the other to go out for fear of people looking for him. It turned out that those who were good with Xue Pan had a lot of covetousness because they saw that there was no one in the Xue family, only Xue Zhen was doing things there, and they were young. There are also those who want to be inserted in it to run errands, there are also those who can do the form, those who know one or two scribes, and they want to give him some points up and down; there are even those who ask him to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, and there are also those who fabricate rumors and intimidate, and so on. When Xue Zhen saw these people, he avoided them from afar, and he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of causing an unexpected change, so he had to hide at home and listen to the news.

Jin Gui sent Bao Chan to send some wine and fruit last night to find out the news of Xue Tad, and Bao Chan came back and told Xue Tador about Xue Tad's situation one by one. Jin Gui saw that things were not too speculative, so he was afraid that he would make a fuss in vain, but he was looked down upon by Bao Chan, and wanted to cover up two or three sentences and change his words, but he was a pity for this person. I didn't have any idea in my heart, so I just sat in a daze.

Bao Chan also knew that it was difficult for Xue Pan to go home, and she was trying to find a way out, but she didn't dare to reveal it because she was afraid that Jin Gui would take her. Now that she saw what Jin Gui did, she had already started first, so she was happy to borrow the wind to make the boat and get Xue Zhen in her hands first, not afraid that Jin Gui would not follow, so she used words to provoke. Seeing that Xue Zhen didn't seem to be ruthless, he didn't dare to make a mistake for a while. Later, when I saw Xue Zhen blowing out the lamp and sleeping by himself, he was disappointed, and came back to tell Jin Gui to see what method Jin Gui had, and then reason. When she saw Jin Gui stunned, she seemed to have no skills to do, and she had to accompany Jin Gui to clean up and sleep.

Where can I sleep at night, tossing and turning, and come up with a way, it is better to get up early tomorrow morning, go to get the plate first, change into one or two moving clothes by myself, and do not freshen up, the more coquettish. Seeing Xue Zhen's expression, he pretended to be annoyed and simply ignored him. If Xue Zhen has remorse, he will naturally move the boat to the shore, and he will not worry about not getting it first.

When I saw Xue Zhen, it was still the same as last night, and there was no evil intention, I only thought that the fake was true, and came back with the plate, but deliberately left the wine jug, thinking that I would come back to the place of transfer. I saw Jin Gui asking, "You take something, has anyone met me?"

Bao Toad said, "No. ”

"Didn't the second master ask you anything?"

Bao Toad said, "No. ”

Because Jin Gui never fell asleep all night, he couldn't think of a way, so he could only think: "If you do this, others can hide it, how can Bao Toad hide it? I can't go by myself, so I have to ask her to be my foot, so I might as well discuss a safe idea with her. ”

So he said with a smile: "What kind of person do you think the second master is?"

Bao Toad said: "It's like a nonsense person." ”

Jin Gui smiled and said, "How do you talk about you?"

Bao Chan also smiled: "He has failed his grandmother's heart, I have to talk about him!"

Jin Gui said, "How did he live up to my heart? ”

"Grandma gave him good things to eat, but he didn't eat them, didn't he live up to grandma's heart?"

"Don't think nonsense. I gave him things and worked tirelessly for my uncle's affairs, so I respected him, and I was afraid that people would talk nonsense, so I asked you. I don't understand what you mean by these words to me?"

Bao Chan smiled: "Grandma, don't be careful, I'm with grandma, do you still have two hearts?" But things should be kept secret, if you make a noise, it's not fun." ”

Jin Gui also felt that his face was red: "You are not a good girl, I want to come to your heart, but you use me as a raft, right?"

"It's just that grandma thinks so, but I feel sorry for grandma. If grandma really looks at the second master, I have an idea. Grandma thought, what if that rat didn't steal oil? He was just afraid that the matter would not be kept secret, and that everyone would make a mess, and it would not look good. In my opinion, grandma is not in a hurry, and often goes to him unpreparedly. He is a little brother-in-law, and he has not married a daughter-in-law, so his grandmother will do her best to stick to him, and others can't say anything. ”

After a few days, he felt his grandmother's affection, and he naturally wanted to thank his grandmother. At that time, my grandmother prepared something more for us in the house, and I helped my grandmother get drunk with him, afraid that she would run away from him? If he didn't agree, we would just make a fuss, and we would say that he was molesting grandma. He was afraid, and he naturally had to follow our wishes. If he doesn't agree, he's not human, and we won't lose face. What does Grandma want?"

When Jin Gui heard this, his cheeks were already flushed, and he scolded with a smile: "Little hoof! You seem to have stolen many men, no wonder the uncle can't leave you when he is at home." ”

Bao Chan pursed his mouth and said with a smile: "That's it, people pull the line for grandma, and grandma says this to us!" From then on, Jin Gui was bent on enveloping Xue Zhen, but he had no intention of making noise, and the family felt quiet.

On the same day, Bao Chan went to get the wine jug, but he was still steady and heavy, with a righteous face. Xue Zhen peeked at them, but regretted it, suspecting that he might have misthought them, but he didn't know. Sure enough, she lived up to her good intentions, and she couldn't help but make trouble with herself in the future, wouldn't she be self-inflicted?

After two days, it was very quiet. When Xue Zhen met Bao Chan, Bao Chan bowed his head and left, without even raising his eyelids; When Xue Zhen saw such a scene, he couldn't help it.

Xue Baochai's mother and daughter felt that Jin Gui had been quiet these days, and she suddenly became affectionate with others, and the family thought it was a rare thing. Aunt Xue was very happy, thinking that it must be something that Xue Pan made when she married this daughter-in-law, which would have ruined the past few years. There was such a thing in front of him, but fortunately, the family had money and Jia Fu contributed, so there was hope. The daughter-in-law suddenly became quiet, maybe Pan'er turned her luck, but I don't know. So I thought it was a rare wonder in my heart.

After dinner on this day, I helped Tonggui over and went to the golden laurel room to have a look. When I walked into the courtyard, I only heard a man talking to Jin Gui. Tonggui said: "Grandma, the old lady is here." ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the door. Seeing a figure hiding behind the door, Aunt Xue was startled and retreated. Jin Gui said, "Madame, please sit inside." There are no outsiders, he is my stepbrother, he lives in Tunli, he is not used to seeing people, because he has not seen his wife, he only came today, and he has not yet asked his wife to be safe. ”

Aunt Xue said, "Since it's my uncle, I might as well meet him." ”

Jin Gui asked his brother to come out to see Aunt Xue, made a gesture, and said hello. Aunt Xue also said hello, sat down and started talking. Aunt Xue asked, "When will my uncle go to Beijing?"

Na Xia San said: "Last month, my mother had no one to take care of, so she passed me over. I only entered Beijing the day before yesterday, and I came to see my sister today. ”

Aunt Xue saw that the man was not embarrassed, so she sat down and got up and said, "Uncle sit down." ”

He turned back to Jin Gui and said, "Uncle stayed with us and ate before going." Jin Gui agreed, and Aunt Xue left.

Jin Gui saw that his mother-in-law had gone, so he said to Xia San: "You sit, today is the clear road, so you don't have to let our second master examine you." I will tell you to buy something this day, so that no one may see it. ”

Xia San: "Just leave this to me." Whatever you want, as long as you have money, I can buy it. ”

Jin Gui: "Don't talk about it, you bought it wrong, I won't accept it." ”

Saying that, the two laughed again, and then Jin Gui accompanied Xia San to dinner, told him what he bought, and asked him to leave. Since then, Xia San has been coming and going, although there is an old doorman, who knows that it is his uncle, he does not often reciprocate, and since then there have been infinite turmoil.
