Chapter 15, Section 5 The House

Although Shi Xiangyun sat on it and talked and laughed with Jia's mother, his heart fell on Jia Baoyu.

Seeing Jia Baoyu holding Xing Xiuyan's cigarette, Shi Xiangyun was already very unhappy, not to mention, Jia Baoyu invited Xing Xiuyan to live in the Grand View Garden, and Shi Xiangyun couldn't stand it anymore.

Don't look at Shi Xiangyun's naΓ―ve and ignorant appearance, the abacus in his heart is better than anyone else. Even if it offends people, it is carefully calculated.

offended Princess Changle before, just as Tanchun speculated, he just wanted to brush his face in front of Princess Changle. It's just that Princess Changle didn't pay attention to it. This kind of little trick is well known to both parties, and it is not offended.

Xichun's father is the patriarch of Ningguofu, Xichun is young, if Xichun is targeted, others will only say that Shi Xiangyun is not a sister. Therefore, Shi Xiangyun just has something, and he doesn't dare to say that Xichun, who is several years younger than him, is not.

Tanchun is Jia Baoyu's sister, since Shi Xiangyun likes Jia Baoyu, where will he find this sister-in-law's stubble?

Then there are Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing.

After Jia Yu went out, it stands to reason that his daughter and granddaughter have nothing to do with Mrs. Jia Zhengwang. But the fact is that Mrs. Jia Zhengwang has lived in Jia Yu's house for several years, and she has also accepted Jia Yu's help in disguise, a fact that everyone in Beijing knows with long eyes, not to mention the Jia family's inner house. Shi Xiangyun has such a thick skin, he can treat this matter as nothing, but no one has the heart to make trouble every now and then, making several people, including Shi Xiangyun. Whenever I want to install a high level, there will be air leakage. There are many times, and the days are long. Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and others became more and more discouraged in front of Jia Jiu.

Moreover, Jia Jiu and Jia Qian and Jia Qing are three noble daughters who enjoy the court's wealth, and they have to enter the palace every New Year's holiday, which is many times more decent than Mrs. Wang. Such a granddaughter and great-granddaughter, Jia's mother naturally regarded her as a sweetheart.

Shi Xiangyun's backing in the Jia family is Jia's mother, and he doesn't dare to offend Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing at the risk of being abandoned by Jia's mother. Even if you laugh, you don't dare to be too presumptuous.

And if you count it again, you will be like him. Girls with foreign surnames who live in the Jia family or sojourn: the Xue sisters, the Li sisters, Lin Daiyu, and Xing Xiuyan.

Needless to say, the Li sisters. Shi Xiangyun knew very well that Mrs. Wang didn't have this idea at all, and asked Jia Baoyu to marry another girl from the Li family. Therefore, the Li sisters have nothing to do with Shi Xiangyun. Of course. They don't have any friendship with Shi Xiangyun. To Shi Xiangyun, they were just strangers living under the same roof.

As for the Xue sisters, it can be seen from various signs that Mrs. Wang likes Xue Baochai a little more among the two sisters, and Xue Baoqin still has a marriage contract. But these days, for the sake of money, Xue Baochai and Mrs. Wang have some disagreements.

Although Mrs. Wang has no way to take Xue Baochai because of the money, Shi Xiangyun doesn't think that Mrs. Wang will not find it back in the matter of Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai.

In Shi Xiangyun's opinion. Mrs. Wang refused to let Jia Baoyu marry Xue Baochai openly, and only asked Jia Baoyu to accept Xue Baochai as a concubine. Or simply drag it out for another two years and drag Xue Baochai into an old girl in her twenties, which will be enough for Xue Baochai to eat a pot.

As for Lin Daiyu, although the other party is the same as herself, both parents died, but she has money, a younger brother, and an uncle's support, so she has never paid attention to Jia Baoyu at all, let alone married Jia Baoyu. Maybe Shi Xiangyun will be jealous of Lin Daiyu's wealth, maybe Shi Xiangyun will be jealous that Lin Daiyu has a brother, maybe Shi Xiangyun will be jealous that Lin Daiyu has Jia Jiu's maintenance, but from beginning to end, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu have never met, not once. The most important thing for Shi Xiangyun now is to get married, marry Jia Baoyu. A person who has nothing to do with Jia Baoyu and cannot become Jia Baoyu's wife, does he have so much energy to care?

Compared with Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun cares more about Jia Baoyu's overtures to Xing Xiuyan.

Jia Baoyu is simpler than others. At least, he interacted with these girls in the Grand View Garden, and he didn't think about anything like family background, property, identity, status, etc., he was purely in contact with the other party because of the other party.

Coupled with his gentle personality, he will not put any shelf in front of the girls, so he has naturally become a good son in the hearts of many girls in the Grand View Garden - of course, most of the girls in the Grand View Garden are young and have not seen much of the world. If Jia Jiu is replaced, there is a master like Daokui, a group of uncles and uncles like national teachers, and brothers like Yan Wei, and probably can't look down on a gentle boy like Jia Baoyu.

Shi Xiangyun is very clear about his weakness in marriage: his parents are dead and he has no brothers, and now even his aunts and aunts have begun to make clothes for his uncle, and he is destined to not give much dowry, plus he is not close to his uncles and aunts, and now he is still so-so, and he will marry in the future, what is really wrong, I am afraid that his uncles and aunts will not care about him. Therefore, in the future, he Shi Xiangyun is destined to not have much to marry, and after he gets married, he will not have his mother's family to borrow.

This is the real reason why Shi Xiangyun takes a fancy to Jia Baoyu. Because he knows that Jia Baoyu doesn't care about money or power, he and Jia Baoyu are childhood sweethearts, married to Jia Baoyu, he can have a stable future, a real home, not like other people's homes, looking like they are separated, between husband and wife, it is not so much a relative, but a partner to live.

This is also the reason why Shi Xiangyun never regarded Xue Baochai as a real enemy. Because he knows that what Xue Baochai wants is wealth and power. It is not so much that Xue Baochai loves Jia Baoyu, but rather that Xue Baochai values the things attached to this marriage more than Jia Baoyu.

And Xue Baochai's attitude is what Jia Baoyu dislikes the most.

But Xing Xiuyan is different.

probably didn't have any illusions about Jia Baoyu, and he knew that he had no fate with Jia Baoyu at all, Xing Xiuyan had never had any thoughts about Jia Baoyu, and among many girls, his attitude was also the most indifferent.

Xing Xiuyan's appearance is not bad, although it is not as good as Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin's sisters. But it is only a line apart, much more beautiful than Shi Xiangyun with mantis arms and crane legs. More importantly, Xing Xiuyan's indifference and elegance are compared to Xue Baochai's worldliness and Xue Baoqin's gorgeousness. It is more durable and more attractive to Jia Baoyu.

The most obvious evidence is that every time Xing Xiuyan appears, even if the Xue sisters are present, Jia Baoyu will leave them to bow down to Xing Xiuyan first.

Just like today.

Seeing Jia Baoyu circling around Xing Xiuyan again, Shi Xiangyun's heart was not happy.

Shi Xiangyun knows very well that even if Mrs. Wang harms Mrs. Xing, she still doesn't know about it. But after all, Mrs. Wang has a daughter of the imperial concubine, and Jia Baoyu is Jia Yuanchun's younger brother after all. If Jia Baoyu insists, as long as Mrs. Wang has a meaning with the Xing family. With the Xing family's style, maybe he happily sent his daughter on both hands.

Xing Xiuyan's threat is greater than Xue Baochai's.

Shi Xiangyun thinks so.

Seeing Jia Baoyu circling around Xing Xiuyan, he didn't care even if he got the other party's cold face. Shi Xiangyun's heart was even more uncomfortable.

He suddenly interjected, "I see." Sister Xing doesn't like to live in the garden, she must be disgusted with the small houses in the garden. ”

That's what I said.

When Xing Xiuyan was young, their family even had to rent a temple house to live in, which shows the Xing family's family background at that time. is Xing Xiuyan himself, when he first came to Jia's house, the girl he brought with him was also bought now. Shi Xiangyun said that Xing Xiuyan disliked the small houses in the Grand View Garden, what is the difference between scolding Xing Xiuyan for forgetting it?

Shi Xiangyun's words are still sharp.

Jia Jiu sighed in his heart, but his face was still full of spring breeze: "It turns out that Sister Yun has also noticed." That day, when Sister Ribao introduced me to the scenery in the garden. I took the drawings and came over. At that time, I was still muttering in my heart, this garden is the royal palace. The room inside is exquisite. Don't say anything else, let's just say that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, a small three-room room with one light and two dark, even the larger furniture can't be placed in it, so it can only be called on the spot. In such a large place, it is clean to read during the day, but it is not possible to rest at night. First, the house is so big, the night vigil girl can't sleep a few, let alone the mother-in-law who watches the night and the mother-in-law who guards the door, where do they live? Living in a house, that is definitely not possible, those mothers-in-law snoring, enough to wake people up. But if who's outside, isn't that telling them to blow the wind? It is not good for their health, and it is also detrimental to yin morality. Moreover, the fourth sister is young, and the garden is full of water. If there aren't enough people to serve, I'm not at ease. ”

Jia Qing immediately said, "Auntie, Aunt Yun is talking about Aunt Xing." Why did you bring up the fourth aunt? ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Is there any way? Whoever tells us to turn back will go home. The people around the fourth sister brought so many people over, if something happens, I'm afraid I won't have the face to see the eldest uncle. Therefore, I can only be cheeky and ask Sister Xing to take care of one or two. ”

Aunt Xue also smiled on the side and said, "The second girl is my sister in the end, and I know that I take care of my sister." ”

Jia Mu also said: "No, he has been a worrying person since he was a child." If nothing else, didn't Cong'er be raised by him? Not only daily life, but even schoolwork, there is nothing he doesn't worry about. Nowadays, it is more and more lenient. Xing girl, four girls, Qian girl, Qing girl, which one of them is not careful? ”

Aunt Xue and the others also laughed and said yes.

The eldest sister is like a mother.

These four words are not for nothing. In many people's homes, this is how the girls in the family are required. After all, when other people's families marry daughters-in-law, they don't go back to marry an ancestor, on the contrary, every family marries a daughter-in-law, hoping that the daughter-in-law can fulfill her responsibilities as husband and child, and manage her son and the affairs of her son's house well, so that the son can develop outside wholeheartedly and will not be dragged back by the affairs of the family.

Therefore, with a girl like Jia Jiu, who is very good at taking care of people, it may be rare to be loved by Jia Baoyu, a gentleman who likes wind and snow, but she is very popular in the marriage market.

Because the elders know very well that the wind and snow are just the fun of life, but they cannot be used to live.

The anger provoked by Shi Xiangyun was suppressed by Jia Jiu and Jia Qing together.

Only then did Shi Xiangyun realize that he had made a mistake.

is different from the original book, in the original book, the Jia family's second room is dominant, and even Jia Yu is almost overwhelmed, not to mention the juniors below. In the original book, whether it is Jia Yingchun or Xing Xiuyan, they are both invisible people in the Grand View Garden, and Tanchun and Xichun chose to watch coldly. And Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are rivals in love, Shi Xiangyun targets Lin Daiyu everywhere, of course, no one will help Lin Daiyu.

But now, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian and Jia Qing are obviously in a group, and Xing Xiuyan is Mrs. Xing's niece and daughter, and she is a person from the big house, of course Jia Jiu will not watch him being bullied.

What's more, in the original book, when Shi Xiangyun targeted Lin Daiyu, even if no one stood on Shi Xiangyun's side, no one stood on Lin Daiyu's side. But now, Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing are standing on Xing Xiuyan's side solidly.

Shi Xiangyun originally thought that in front of Jia's mother, Jia Jiu would at least give Jia's mother a little face, or in other words, Jia's mother would help him. But he never thought that Jia Mu didn't pay attention to him at all.

This is obviously a huge blow to Shi Xiangyun.

Shi Xiangyun couldn't react for a while.

Shi Xiangyun's reaction was not slow.

He immediately turned his head and asked Xichun: "Fourth sister, don't you want to live in the garden?" ”

Xichun glanced at him and said, "I live with the old lady." ”

Shi Xiangyun didn't give up: "But the scenery in the garden is very good." ”

Xichun replied: "Then I have to be free, and it is okay to go in and stroll, and there is no need to live in it." ”

Of course, Xichun could see that Shi Xiangyun couldn't say anything about others, so he was used as a pawn.

Xichun's temperament is not so much eccentric as pure. In his opinion, Shi Xiangyun's attitude towards him is nothing more than exploitation. You will talk to him when you have a place to use him, and when you don't need him, you can ignore him for days. This kind of Shi Xiangyun doesn't like it.

In Xichun's view, friendship is friendship, and utilization is utilization, which are two different things. In this world, there is nothing more disgusting than taking advantage of people in the name of friendship.

Shi Xiangyun's thoughts about Jia Baoyu are very clear about Xichun.

In Xichun's eyes, Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu's affair is a matter between them, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai or others compete for Jia Baoyu, that is also his Shi Xiangyun's business, and it has nothing to do with him Jia Xichun. Shi Xiangyun wants to compete for Jia Baoyu, just by his own ability, there is no need to involve others, let alone Jia Xichun.

Shi Xiangyun never expected that Xichun would give him such face, and for a while, he was really stunned. (To be continued......)
