16. Does my sister have a lock?

When the old lady heard this, she was even more happy, and nodded: "Very good, very good, Lian'er is becoming more and more sensible." You went to see your aunt, you don't have to rush back, you can go to Jinling to see our Zhuangzi and shop or something. Sure enough, as soon as the old lady was happy, Jia Lian agreed to everything she asked for.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Jia Lian didn't say anything more at the moment, and went out under the pretext of packing up. Mrs. Wang was very unhappy about this incident, so she also found an excuse to return to Rongxi Hall. Mrs. Xing knew that her mother-in-law had never liked her, so she didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, so she hurriedly left. The old lady snorted and asked the maid to write a letter to Jia Min.

By the time Jia Lian arrived in Yangzhou, Xifeng had already arrived in Jinling. At this time, the Xue family was still living in Jinling, and when the Lin family got off the boat with Xifeng and others, Wang Cheng, the big housekeeper who followed the prince, and several Wang family servants and the mother-in-law sent by the Xue family came over and saluted the Lin family and others, and then the people who carried things, held umbrellas, served tea and poured water, and drove the carriage were orderly and busy. The Lin family left two henchmen, the housekeeper and the two little girls, to check the boxes from the ship one by one with the list, and she took Xifeng and the others to Yingtianfu.

Wang Ziteng is now the prefect of Yingtianfu, and his family naturally lives in the official residence behind the palace. The official residence is not big or small, except for the main courtyard, which has six small courtyards. The Lin family lived in the main courtyard, and Xifeng, Wang You, and Aunt Qin took Yishu, Yijing, Wang Ren, and Aunt Su to each have a courtyard, and the remaining one was reserved as a guest residence. In the afternoon of the same day, Lin and Xifeng commanded the servants to put all the decorations such as calligraphy and painting books, antique vases, and all kinds of gadgets, and agreed on what to do with the curtains, whether to use bead curtains or cloth curtains, what patterns to wear on them, what flowers to show, where to plant what flowers and plants, and what potted plants to add.

It wasn't until the middle of the moon that she was done, and Xifeng first helped Lin to send her back to the main courtyard, and then took the grandmother and maid back to her own Yishao Courtyard next door. This yard is really related to Xifeng, and many peonies are also planted.

Early the next morning, Xifeng was woken up by Mama Qian and Mama Song: "Girl, hurry up, Mrs. Gu will come with her cousin in a while, and Mrs. also said that today she will call the embroidery lady to measure the size and make a few clothes for you." ”

Xifeng rubbed her eyes and got up, and finally finished her breakfast before the second aunt came. Her second aunt is Cao Gong's Aunt Xue. Xue Pan and Baochai are her serious cousins.

It's just that what Xifeng didn't expect was that her second aunt only brought three-year-old Baochai here. Her second aunt, Mrs. Xue, is quite mellow, and at first glance she has a wide heart and a fat body. Baochai's body shape does not follow her, only a little baby fat, and her eyebrows and eyes are naturally very gentle and generous, and then looking at her skin, Xifeng finally understood why Jia Baoyu wanted to touch her wrist after many years.

After saluting the second aunt, Xifeng couldn't help pinching and poking on Baochai's little arm: "My sister is really cute, this eyebrow and this skin are really cute." Xifeng has read the Red Mansion several times, and he doesn't dare to say that he understands the characters in the book, but he still has a preliminary understanding, and he will never forget the sentence "Feng'er, I see where you are hiding" after Baochai heard Xiaohong and Shen'er talking when she fluttered butterflies in Dicui Pavilion. In this sentence alone, Baochai's scheming can be seen. Xifeng himself doesn't like scheming people very much, but Baochai's skin can be broken by blowing, white and powdery, and smooth as jade, which is really only seen in Xifeng's two lives. And Xifeng didn't think that anyone would have better skin than Baochai. She couldn't help but pinch and poke her hands.

Aunt Xue and Lin couldn't help laughing, Lin said: "This child, your sister's thin skin and tender flesh can be kneaded by you, a person who practices martial arts every day, her little arms and legs can't help you kneading, stop quickly." ”

Baochai is still just a three-year-old baby, and her teeth haven't been changed, what do you know? looked at Xifeng with some horror, but she didn't cry, she has always been well-behaved and rarely cries.

"How did my aunt raise her sister, and why is her skin so good?" Xifeng couldn't help but stretch out his claws to Baochai again.

Lin Shi felt a big headache: "Feng'er, you better go and practice kung fu with You'er again." "Wang You is more than seven years old, so after coming in to salute, he went to the martial arts training ground again.

Xifeng touched his hair: "Let's go back in the evening, otherwise I will have to comb my hair again." "Xifeng is now eleven years old, and she has long kept her head, and her grandmother always combed her hair in a bun like hanging hair, although it is beautiful but troublesome, and it is inconvenient to practice martial arts. Therefore, after Xifeng returned to the Lin family, he asked Mama to tie a big braid on the top of her head like Wang You, and then buckle a jade ring. Later, Lin specially asked the craftsman to make her a few beautiful jade crowns, carved plum blossoms, lotus flowers, peonies, bamboo, orchid grass patterns, as well as pearls, corals, and small gemstones.

After that, only when she wanted to meet guests or outsiders, Xifeng would deliberately dress up as a girl, and on weekdays, she mostly dressed up because of her martial arts. Lin saw that she was dressed like that very heroic, and she looked more eye-catching than her daughter's dress, so she didn't treat Xifeng to change her clothes and dress, and added a lot of strong clothes to her. Now that Lin heard that Xifeng was troublesome about changing clothes, he didn't say anything more, but only told her not to scare Baochai.

Xifeng should get down and take snacks to coax Baochai to play. Seeing that she had finally stopped, Lin continued to gossip with Aunt Xue. Xifeng pricked up one ear to listen to them, and learned that Xue Pan was not yet six years old at this time, but he was already very naughty, and he had to get what he wanted, and he was already a full little overlord of Jinling.

Last month, he was about to go out, and was taken by the big housekeeper of Xue Mansion to inspect the shops in the south area. Xifeng was speechless for a while, this second aunt is really a good hand for children. Pity her uncle, who has been dead for three years, if she knows that she is raising her son like this, not only is she glad to have a successor, or is her son vomiting blood and not studying and reading at home?

Xifeng was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard Baochai coughing, and hurriedly stroked her back: "Why did my sister cough suddenly?" ”

Her second aunt hurriedly explained: "She has been like this since she was a child, and the doctor said that it was a disease brought out of the mother's womb, which is not easy to treat." Fortunately, I don't go out much in winter, and I can get through it by raising it well, and it's good in spring. The Lin family and Mrs. Xue talked about asking a doctor for medicine when Xifeng was blind, and her second aunt took Xifeng into her arms and kneaded it for a while.

Xifeng coped with the second aunt's care and kneading, but in her heart she was thinking that Baochai's little cousin's illness should be cured by the cold incense pill, after listening to the second aunt's words and thinking about Baochai in the original book, Xifeng felt that there was something more important than Leng Xiangwan at the moment, although she cleared her throat and looked at Baochai, with a light smile on her face, trying not to look too deliberate, and asked softly: "What kind of golden lock does my sister wear?" ”
