Chapter 18

Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Sister Lin said in the letter that the Xue family, the maiden sister of the second wife of the Jia family, moved her family into Beijing, but the son of the Xue family acted unscrupulously, regarded human life as a mustard, and killed people on the road, just like a nobody. Sister Lin said that such a person is not worthy of deep friendship, and she was afraid that I would not know about it, so she wrote to sue me. ”

The old lady frowned slightly, "This Xue family, since Xue Jian died, it has become more and more disagreeable. She is also right, after the Xue family enters Beijing, you are not allowed to have deep friendships with them! ”

Shi Xiangyun is still sighing, Lin Daiyu is in a much better situation now than in the original book, and there are also people pointing out the sophistication of the world next to her, presumably there will be no more things about recognizing Aunt Xue as her stepmother! Hearing the old lady's words, Shi Xiangyun smiled and hugged the old lady's arm, "I know, old lady!" Don't worry! I won't go to Jia's house often, depending on what kind of character she is in the Xue family, what does it have to do with me! ”

Old Mrs. Shi smiled and hugged Shi Xiangyun, a hint of sharpness flashed in her eyes, this Jia Mansion is acting more and more without scruples. This kind of thing is actually spreading, and even a little girl who lives here knows about it, alas! Fortunately, the sons are no longer in Beijing, and even if something irreparable happens to the Jia family in the future, the Shi family will not be implicated.

After half a month, Shi Nai's two families were almost cleaned up, and the family went to work. The old lady Shi who sent away Shi Nai Shi was sick that night, and Shi Xiangyun knew that the old lady was really old, and Shi Nai's brother Shi Nai's departure, in this era of underdeveloped transportation, it is likely that when we meet again, we will be separated by heaven and man. But the old lady still resolutely did this for the sake of the historian, really, people don't know what to say!

Mrs. Shi was sick, so Shi Xiangyun couldn't leave the Shi family for the time being, so she had to decline Jia's mother's kindness to send someone to take her over to the house, and served the old lady with her heart. Mrs. Shi really recovered half a month later.

Shi Xiangyun was sure that Mrs. Shi was really well, and with the consent of the old lady, she went to Jiafu to stay for a few days when Jia's mother sent someone to pick her up again.

Dong Zhi looked at the old lady's sullen expression and asked, "Since the old lady is reluctant to let the eldest girl go to Jiafu!" ”

The old lady sighed and didn't speak, but she thought in her heart that she was now so bone-lining, she didn't dare to go out of the house as soon as it was winter, so why bother to detain Yun Yatou by her side, and now that the Shi family is in Beijing, there is not even a representative, although the Shi family is not involved in those things now, it can't make people forget the Shi family. can only let the cloud girl go out to socialize more.

"Did the former Concubine Nan'an make a post?"

Mama Fang nodded, "Yes!" The old lady forgot that Concubine Nan'an was the aunt of the grandmother, and when the grandmother died, Concubine Nan'an happened to go back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, and later learned about it, but she didn't come to the door for several years. I think that at the beginning, when the eldest grandmother was still there" Mama Fang suddenly saw the old lady's face and stopped talking.

Mrs. Shi smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I'm confused." Forget about this stubble. The second and third children left, and she only posted to invite Yun Yatou over, which shows that she didn't want the Shi family to be exposed. That's it, since it's beneficial to Yun Yatou, when Yun Yatou comes back from Jia's house, let her go to the palace! ”

No matter how much you don't want to see the historian, Yun Yatou is still surnamed Shi, Yun Yatou is good, and the Shi family is good. The old lady thought so.

Shi Xiangyun is very familiar with the Jia family, as soon as he entered the gate of Rongqing Hall, he threw away the maids and grandmothers, and ran in familiarly, Jia's mother happened to be surrounded by a group of grandchildren, you coaxed me very happily, and I was naturally happy to see Shi Xiangyun, my niece and nephew.

"Okay, you cloud girl, now the shelf is really big, please come and stay for a few days, and you will be invited three or four times!"

Shi Xiangyun squeezed Jia Baoyu away with a smile and came to Jia's mother, Jia Baoyu didn't care, and sat aside, Lin Daiyu next to her smiled when she saw her face, only Mrs. Wang's face flashed with displeasure, and then she smiled.

"The old ancestor has wronged me, my old lady is sick, you don't know, now the second uncle and the third uncle are not in Beijing, and the old lady has only one relative by her side, how can I leave the old lady alone to have fun! You say yes, right? ”

Mother Jia thought about it, her sister-in-law can't compare to herself, her children and grandchildren are around her knees, and she is happy! "Yun Yatou is a filial person. Now that we have another treasure girl in our family, you sisters can get along more lively! ”

Shi Xiangyun had already made up his mind that there was an extra woman with a face similar to Mrs. Wang, and there was also a dignified and stable girl around Yingchun.

Shi Xiangyun walked down and saluted Aunt Xue first, Aunt Xue hurriedly stretched out her hand to help her up, and then she turned to Xue Baochai, "I have already seen an older sister who is born in her face, and I guessed in my heart that this is the sister of the Xue family!" ”

Xue Baochai smiled gently, "Sister Yun is good." She has always been proud of her identity, when she was in Jinling, every lady in the boudoir around her was comparable to herself, she spoke and acted around herself, and the stars held the moon, which felt very refreshing. It's a pity that his father died early, his mother had no opinions, and his brother was not angry, so the Xue family had to sell the shop and go to Beijing with the family.

Who knows that when they arrive in the capital, the sisters of the Jia family will not talk about it, although Yingchun and Tanchun are just concubines, and they are still young, but their identities are better than their own, but fortunately, in addition to their identities, they are not as good as themselves in other places. This made Xue Baochai's heart feel more comfortable, but there was a sister Lin in Pingkong, the fifth generation of the Lin family, her father is still patrolling the imperial history of salt, and the second-class member of the imperial court, such an identity is beyond her reach, not to mention, this Lin Daiyu is as good as herself in terms of character, talent, knowledge, and bearing, and in some places she can't compare. This made Xue Baochai's heart sour.

It's just that his positioning is gentle and generous, and when he obeys, Lin Daiyu guards filial piety and can't leave the yard when he is idle, so there are fewer opportunities to meet, so Xue Baochai can pretend to be casual.

Now there is another historian girl, whose identity is even more noble than Lin Daiyu, and she is actually a historian from a double marquis, a real daughter of the Houmen! and her appearance and conversation are good, it can be seen that she is the same woman as Sister Lin. Xue Baochai, Xue Baochai, I think you have always been proud of your boudoir, but now you know that there are people outside the sky!

It's just that Xue Baochai thought about it, what can Shi Xiangyun do if she is noble, her parents are dead, and now only her uncles and aunts are in charge, not biological, so naturally she will not really love her, presumably this Sister Yun is not as good as Sister Lin, and she must not have enough money. And the last thing the Xue family lacks is silver. If Xiao En Xiaohui can win over Shi Xiangyun, it will be a lot of benefits to the Xue family and to himself!

Thinking of this, Xue Baochai smiled, glanced at Ying'er who was standing beside him, and took Shi Xiangyun's hand, "Sister Yun is cheerful and bold, I like it as soon as I see it!" I just hate why my mother didn't add me such a sister! Good sister, this is a gift for you, don't dislike simplicity. ”

Shi Xiangyun smiled, took it with his own hands, and then didn't open it to check, only handed it to Lichun casually, "Thank you Sister Xue for your trouble." I also prepared a gift for Sister Xue's family! Sister Lichun, you go and get it. ”

Waiting for Xue Baochai to accept the gift, Xue Baochai just wanted to open his mouth to say something, Shi Xiangyun turned around and went to Lin Daiyu's side, "Sister Lin, thank you for the fruit you sent last time, that star fruit tastes very good!" ”

Lin Daiyu helped her cut her sideburns, "If you like it, when Uncle Su goes south next time, I'll ask Uncle Su to bring you more." ”

The smile on Xue Baochai's lips paused, and then sat down gently and dignifiedly. When Jia Mu saw it, the smile on her lips deepened a little, and her eyes looked at Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun with a little more joy. Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, who were sitting opposite, were a little unhappy, but in front of Mother Jia, it was difficult to say anything.

Jia Baoyu and Sanchun noticed something, but Jia Baoyu was confused, he didn't understand what was going on, he only looked at Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun curiously, while Sanchun was hanging high and had no intention of talking at all.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Yun girl, you have to stay here here for a few more days this time!" ”

Shi Xiangyun smiled and nodded, "Old Ancestor, I want to live with Sister Lin." ”

Jia Mu said deliberately: "What, isn't it good to live in the Bisha cupboard?" Or is your second brother too noisy? ”

Shi Xiangyun climbed Lin Daiyu's shoulder, tilted his head and said, "No, I'm just afraid of disturbing the second brother and the old lady." ”

After Xue Baochai heard this, his eyes swept lightly from Shi and Lin, and he smiled without saying a word.

Everyone dispersed for a while, Shi Xiangyun took people and Lin Daiyu to Yilan Courtyard, Jia Baoyu just wanted to chase after him, and Mrs. Wang shouted behind her: "Baoyu! ”

Jia Baoyu turned around and saw Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue standing under the corridor looking at herself with a smile, Xue Baochai standing beside Mrs. Wang, smiling at herself, the sun sprinkled on Xue Baochai through the bamboo curtain, her lips were red without dotting, her eyebrows were green without painting, her face was like a silver basin, and her eyes were like apricots.

Xue Baochai noticed it and smiled slightly, feeling a little complacent in his heart. It's just that she hasn't put Jia Baoyu in her eyes at this time, "Auntie, Mom, I'll go back first, last night's female celebrity hasn't finished yet!" ”

When Mrs. Wang saw Xue Baochai acting like this, she felt that she was dignified and steady, unlike the two frivolous little hooves of Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun. Mrs. Wang felt that this was her ideal choice for a daughter-in-law.

Jia Baoyu saw Xue Baochai turn around and leave, and he raised his feet and wanted to catch up, but he didn't want Amber to stop him behind him, "Second Master Bao, the old lady is looking for you!" Jia Baoyu had no choice but to hold his foot and watch Xue Baochai's back disappear at the end of the corridor with nostalgia.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue looked at each other and smiled, "Sister, go and sit in my room!" ”

"Okay, sister."
