After listening to Cui Wei's words, Shi Xiangyun didn't sleep all night, and the next day he found Tanchun, knocking on the side and asking what Jia Jiu said and did the day before. got the answer he didn't want to hear from Tanchun's mouth again, and the taste in Shi Xiangyun's heart was even more indescribable.

Until April 26, Jia Baoyu's birthday, Jia Jiu and Jia Qian Jia Qing came again.

Jia Baoyu noticed the chest-length skirts on Jia Jiu, Jia Qian, and Jia Qing at a glance, and came over as soon as possible: "Second sister looks best in this." ”

It was a green full-breasted skirt, a light green top, a gradient green skirt, and an emerald green half wall and a peach-colored shawl, which was very suitable for the scene.

Jia Jiu couldn't help but tease him: "Then I didn't look good in a gown and deep clothes in the past?" ”

Jia Baoyu said: "It's all good-looking." However, the second sister is the most beautiful today. ”

Everyone laughed.

Jia Mu said: "Second girl, you are playing tricks on Baoyu again." ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Old lady, they all say that Baoyu is the most gentle and considerate and the most clever in front of her sisters, and now I look at it, he is still a child who has not grown up." I'm just a cousin, so I'll just play with him when I'm free. It's the second uncle, knowing Baoyu's appearance, I don't know how disappointed I am. ”

When Jia Baoyu heard Jia Zheng, he immediately wilted, causing the sisters to laugh for a while.

Mother Jia hurriedly hugged Jia Baoyu in her arms to comfort her, and said, "Second girl, you are playing tricks on Baoyu again." ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Old lady, my granddaughter is not playing tricks on Baoyu, but she is just telling the truth." He said. Let Xiaohong take out a box and say, "Oh, Baoyu." This is the second volume. This time, you've finished copying it, but remember to return it to me. ”

Mrs. Wang, who was secretly displeased on the side, heard this, and hurriedly said, "What book?" I actually want you to deliver it yourself. ”

Jia Jiu said: "It's "Warring States Policy". Baoyu is the most impatient with the Four Books and Five Classics, and I also admit that few of the books of the saints, even the adults in the court, can really do it. Ask Baoyu for things that even the prime minister of the dynasty may not be able to do. For Baoyu, it was a little more difficult. This "Warring States Policy" is the first history in ancient history, and it is also a compulsory examination for the imperial examination. My "Warring States Policy" is different from the outside. It is based on my uncle's explanation and combined with Master Yan's explanation of the "Warring States Policy", which can be regarded as a collection of the strengths of the two schools of Taoism and Confucianism. ”

Although Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Jiu, as a mother, he always cares about her son.

He said, "Since this book is so good." Two girls. It's better to give your aunt a face, and you can give it to Baoyu. ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said: "Look at what my aunt said, even if I am willing, but who doesn't know Baoyu's temperament?" No matter how good this book is, if it is easy to come, he will not cherish it. I can't say it, I answered my aunt here, and he left the books I had worked so hard to sort out in the house to collect dust. If you don't read it well, forget it. I can't tell if someone stole it one day. He didn't know either. It's better to be like this, and I'll borrow it from him. A good memory is better than a bad pen. I copied it all over again. I have an impression in my head, and when I want to use it in the future, I will naturally remember it. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help but glance at her son, and when she saw her son lowering his head, she knew that Jia Jiu was right.

Mrs. Wang was also very helpless about her son's temperament, and she also knew that Jia Jiu's method was not a solution. As long as she is good to her son, Mrs. Wang doesn't mind taking some measures.

Mrs. Wang said, "Baoyu, did you hear it?" For the mother will personally star. You copied it, so that someone could send the book back to your second sister and replace it with a new one. You can't be lazy. ”

Seeing that her mother's expression was wrong, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but shrink. Although he did not become a cat and mouse like he did in front of his father, he was also like a quail.

Mother Jia hurriedly hugged her grandson and said, "The second family, Baoyu is still young." Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and the same is true for learning, which cannot be rushed. When did the second girl last borrow a book to Baoyu? That's right, when the mother made the decree. After learning a book in three months, whose child has this speed? Don't push too hard. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she could only bow her head and respond.

Mother Jia smiled and patted Jia Baoyu in her arms, and said, "The second girl will really take care of her younger brothers and sisters." ”

Shi Xiangyun sat on the side, and suddenly interjected: "The second sister not only takes care of people, but also has a wide heart, and her subordinates are also generous. casually threw out tens of millions of taels of silver for someone. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she chuckled and immediately stared at Shi Xiangyun.

Jia Mu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Yun girl, what did you say?" ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "It's literal." I heard that the last time I came, the second sister was in the third sister's house, and said in public that Sister Bao has a valuable character and is worth tens of millions of taels of silver. ”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent.

No one thought that Shi Xiangyun would suddenly come to such a sentence.

Jia Jiu looked at Shi Xiangyun with a smile and said, "It turns out that Sister Yun also heard about it?" Yes, I did. Although Sister Bao herself is not perfect, although Sister Bao's family is also chaotic, but Sister Bao's efforts for the family are worthy of my respect. As he spoke, he nodded heavily.

Although Shi Xiangyun is Jia's mother's niece and granddaughter, as far as Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai are concerned, Jia Jiu does value Xue Baochai a little more, just like Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun are not as good as Lin Daiyu combined. Moreover, Jia Jiu also made it clear in his words that in his eyes, Xue Baochai is not a perfect person, he values Xue Baochai because of his maintenance of the Xue family.

When Jia Mu heard this, she also sighed slightly in her heart.

Putting aside those goods, Jia Mu also recognized Jia Jiu's words very much. Between Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun, if it weren't for Shi Xiangyun being Jia's mother's niece's niece, Jia's mother would also choose Xue Baochai. And the reason for choosing Xue Baochai is because of Xue Baochai's sanity and maintenance of the Xue family.

As for Shi Xiangyun, he was worried about him, and he was worried about the small actions he made behind his back, crying in private and complaining about his aunt's mistreatment of him. Looking at Shi Xiangyun's own upbringing, even Jia's mother has to say that many times. Shi Xiangyun is a little white-eyed wolf, only for his own benefit, completely ignoring the dignity of the family and the overall situation.

Don't say anything else, just because his father is a former Baolinghou, and now the Baolinghou couple can treat him badly? And the Bowling Hou couple treated him well, although the Shi family said that they had begun to cut the needle and thread people, they did not cut Shi Xiangyun's body. When did Shi Xiangyun come to Jia's house and not dress up neatly? Not to mention upbringing.

Jia Mu knew very well that if she hadn't caught up with the Zhang family, she would have a grade on her body. Jia Jiu can't say that it's just like Tanchun, and he can't even get out of the second door. In contrast, Shi Xiangyun's life is actually not too comfortable.

It's just that he doesn't feel it himself, he only knows that he wants this and that. If you don't, it's noisy.

Plainly. It's just spoiled.

Just like now, when Shi Xiangyun said these words, it was obvious that he was very dissatisfied with Jia Jiu's recognition of Xue Baochai, but he didn't think about why the other party didn't choose him but chose Xue Baochai.

For this unsuccessful niece and nephew, Jia's mother has long given up. Still, what should be said. Jia Mu still has to say. Especially the daughter-in-law sitting below, with a faint hint of smugness on her face, let Jia's mother know even more. He had to say something.

Jia Mu said: "No, I said two years ago that so many children in our family are not as good as Bao Yatou." ”

The implication is that he regards Shi Xiangyun as his own family.

Shi Xiangyun naturally heard this, first stunned, and then reacted.

The old lady treats him as her own and Xue Baochai as an outsider.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but tilt his face and smile at Xue Baochai.

What if you win hearts and minds again? You're just an outsider!

When Xue Baochai heard this, he just smiled slightly, and did not speak, let alone the slightest displeasure.

In his opinion, it is because he is an outsider that he is easy to be a relative. You must know that in this world, it is not easy to talk about marriage with the same surname, let alone a family. What's more, Jia's mother defended Shi Xiangyun, in Xue Baochai's view, just for the sake of face.

Shi Xiangyun is no matter how bad it is, he is also Jia's mother's maiden niece's granddaughter, but he is only Jia's mother's maiden niece's granddaughter. There are many girls in the Shi family's generation, and Shi Xiangyun only accounts for a long word. His two cousins weren't much younger than him.

In Xue Baochai's view, Jia Mu certainly values Shi Xiangyun, but in fact, what Jia Mu values is just a historical word. If the two marquis of the Shi family nodded and agreed to marry their own daughter, Jia's mother immediately abandoned Shi Xiangyun and replaced her with a Shi girl. After all, it was because the two marquis of the Shi family refused to nod their heads, so Jia Mu retreated and chose Shi Xiangyun, who only had a reputation but did not have much benefit. If there is a better candidate, Xue Baochai believes that Jia Mu will abandon Shi Xiangyun and choose someone else.

Therefore, Xue Baochai did not have much dissatisfaction with Jia Mu's words. The hurt brought to him by these words is not as good as what Mrs. Wang did in private.

Xue Baochai just smiled and said, "Old lady, you really lift me up." Compared with the second sister, I am the fluorescent light in the moonlight, light and thin. ”

Hearing Xue Baochai being so humble, Jia Mu also smiled.

He pointed at Xue Baochai and said to Aunt Xue: "Auntie, your daughter is really getting better and better at talking. In this regard, our two girls can't compare to him. ”

Aunt Xue hurriedly said, "Old lady, you are too proud of our treasure girl." Where can our treasure girl compare with the county gentleman. ”

"Don't believe me? If you don't believe me, listen to me ask him. Saying that, Jia Mu turned her head and said, "Second girl, you said that Bao Yatou is worth it for you to spend 10 million taels of silver to test him, then let me ask you, what about Yun Yatou?" ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Old lady, do you still use me?" Nature is not necessary. ”

"What about Miss Lin?"

"Sister Lin is even more unnecessary."

Jia Mu said to everyone: "Listen, is this girl's mouth stubborn? ”

Everyone laughed.

Jia Qing immediately said: "Uncle Bao, the old lady just said that my aunt bullied you, look, now the old lady has found it back for you." ”

Panicked, Jia Baoyu hurriedly stood up and gave Jia Jiu a flattery: "The second sister is worried about me, but I am so tired that the second sister was teased by the old lady, and I also invited the second sister Haihan." ”

Jia Jiu had already pushed him into Jia's mother's arms and said, "Baoyu, your stupidity has come up again!" It was my pleasure for the old lady to play tricks on me. What does it matter to you? This kind of temperament that says that the wind is the rain, how sooner or later it will change! ”

Everyone was stunned and laughed again.

Aunt Xue also said: "Baoyu is indeed pure and kind. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Even if it is pure and good, it depends on the situation. With his temperament, if he sends a beautiful person outside and tells him a few grievances, he still doesn't offer his family money? Regardless of the tail, cherish it, a needle and thread brain are good, and if you waste it, you won't blink a thousand dollars. If this character does not change, he will be in the officialdom in the future, and he will be calculated! ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately became worried.

That's right, his son is such a personality, even Mrs. Wang knows it. Therefore, Mrs. Wang likes Xue Baochai more, because Xue Baochai will weigh and calculate. Even if Jia Baoyu will be ruined, Xue Baochai can help him make up for it. As for Shi Xiangyun, in Mrs. Wang's opinion, it is already good not to spoil with Jia Baoyu. A little unsatisfactory complains about this and complains about that, where is the one who will live? It's bad for such a daughter-in-law to marry back!

Mrs. Wang forced a smile and said, "Baoyu is still young." In the future, when he grows up, he marries, and it will be fine. ”

Aunt Xue also said, "Not really." Men, before they got married, they were all children, and after they got married, they were fine. ”

Jia Jiu wanted to refute it very much, but this kind of cousin marriage, he was an unmarried girl, so he really couldn't talk too much, so he had to bow his head and be silent.

In Jia Jiu's view, Jia Baoyu's future wife is no matter how capable, capable, and powerful her mother's family is, Jia Baoyu can't support herself, and it's in vain. Perhaps, the future treasure and milk will tire herself half to death, and if you don't get her husband's understanding, you will be disliked.

It's just that Jia Jiu really can't say this kind of thing.

On the contrary, it was Xue Baochai, because he was always paying attention to Jia Jiu, and naturally saw Jia Jiu's disapproval, and turned his head to look at Jia Qian, Jia Qing's sisters and Xing Xiuyan, and saw that Jia Qing's face was also quite disapproving, and his heart was suddenly shocked.

Although Xue Baochai is not hopeful about marrying Jia Baoyu in the short term, he also has ideas for his future married life in his heart.

Jia Jiu has a high evaluation of Xue Baochai, and Xue Baochai's evaluation of Jia Jiu is naturally good. Since Jia Jiu didn't agree with Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai naturally had to weigh one or two things in his heart.

Xue Baochai didn't know what Jia Jiu's expression meant, but this did not prevent him from thinking carefully or asking Jia Jiu in private. However, in front of Jia Mu, it is obviously impossible. (To be continued......)
