Jia Mu and the others had already eaten lunch, and even watched a few plays.

Jia Baoyu was new, and Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others passed on a few new dishes, and together with the various wines and foods on the table, Jia Baoyu was left to eat.

For a while, the small drama reopened, and the rice wine was revisited.

While eating, drinking and watching the play, everyone talked and laughed, very leisurely.

After Jia Baoyu ate a full meal, he stopped, took the handkerchief handed by the attacker and wiped his mouth, and suddenly asked Aunt Xue, "Why is Brother Xue not here?" ”

The Jia and Xue families are in-laws, and they have the good fortune of a family.

Today, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and other elders have arrived at the Xue family, and in this situation where the elders on both sides are present, Xue Pan can be seated.

"You don't have to worry about him, he has no words and deeds, and he is not afraid of the sky and the earth when he eats wine. I was afraid that he would disturb the old lady, so I let him go out for dinner early in the morning. ”

Aunt Xue said.

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but look at Aunt Xue twice.

Just from such a small thing, it can be seen that Aunt Xue is cautious and careful.

Mrs. Wang and she are sisters, and they can interact casually.

But Jia Mu is Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law, an elder, and a noble status. Banquet for Mother Jia, Aunt Xue didn't dare to be a little careless, for fear that the etiquette would be a little inconsiderate.

This may also be called sleek and practiced.

Jia Baoyu didn't like to watch the play very much, so after she was full, she didn't want to stay by Mrs. Wang's side for a long time, so she quietly got up and went to the Sanchun sisters and sat down next to Xiangyun.

Xiangyun moved half of his body for him, and as soon as Jia Baoyu sat down, he turned his head to talk to Jia Baoyu.

At one time, he asked Jia Baoyu and the others how they played during the Chinese New Year, and at another time, he asked Jia Baoyu if he had encountered anything new when he went to the palace to study, and so on.

Baochai saw the attacker standing next to her, and asked her if she had eaten.

The attacker smiled and replied: "Miss Bao doesn't have to worry about me, I followed the second master after eating in the mansion." ”

Baochai nodded.

The identity of the attacker is different, if she doesn't eat, she can let Ying'er take her down to eat.

turned around, and suddenly found that Jia Baoyu was dealing with Xiangyun, but his eyes were looking straight at her.

Baochai looked at his body quietly, and there should be nothing wrong with him.

I was embarrassed to say that Jia Baoyu was rude, so I didn't look over my head and joined hands with Tanchun to add wine.

"Oh, Brother Bao, let me ask you, why do you keep staring at Sister Bao."

Xiangyun pushed Jia Baoyu dissatisfied.

Xiangyun's voice has always been quite high-pitched, even if he doesn't say it loudly, it still makes the spring welcome, the spring, and the spring come back.

Jia Baoyu collected his attention and said, "What are you asking?" ”

"I ask you why you keep staring at Sister Bao."

Xiangyun said angrily.

Jia Baoyu smiled, Xiangyun, this girl, has so many words, ignoring her for a while and getting angry, deliberately finding fault with herself.

But, perhaps, it helped him.

Raising the wine and taking a sip, Jia Baoyu slowly chanted out the verses that flashed in his mind before in order to answer.

"The people on the edge are like the moon, and the frost and snow are condensed on the wrists."

Jia Baoyu's voice is not high, slightly low, and at this time he chanted the famous sentences in Wei Zhuang-"Bodhisattva Man", which seemed to be indescribably deep and charming, causing people to reverie.

On the edge of the wall, next to the wine stove.

The woman who sells wine in Jiangnan is radiant, and when she sells wine, she raises her sleeves and raises her wine, and her exposed wrist is as white as frost and snow.

Baochai hadn't put down the wine jug yet, and at this time, he heard Jia Baoyu's words on the table, and looked down to catch a glimpse of some of his arms exposed when he rolled up his sleeves and poured wine.

Next to it is a small sake stove for warming sake.

Baochai's heart was beating violently, and he glanced at Jia Baoyu, and was meeting a pair of star-like eyes.

Suddenly, she sat down, not wanting to knock over a glass of wine that she had not drunk before, and some of the clear wine stains stained her bright skirt.

Yingchun, Tanchun, Xiangyun and others looked at Jia Baoyu, and then looked at Baochai.

Then, my mind came alive.

It turns out that Brother Bao (Brother Bao) is praising Sister Bao for her good looks!

Where can the youngest daughter's family hide too many thoughts, and what she thinks in her heart, most of them are revealed on the surface.

Baochai stood up and confessed: "I'll go change a dress"

Then he walked away.

Jia Mu asked, "What is Bao Ya going to do?" ”

"Sister Bao accidentally knocked over a glass of wine and stained her skirt, hehe." Xiangyun replied.

Mother Jia wondered slightly, Bao Yatou has always been calm and self-controlled, how could she spill the wine?

But I didn't think much about it.

Madame Wang glanced back.

With Aunt Xue's smile, she suddenly understood something, glanced at her son, and smiled knowingly.

This kid

She was closer to the table with Sanchun and the others, and she faintly heard what Jia Baoyu said just now, and when she thought about it at this time, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

probably thinks that his son has grown up and has begun to learn to arch other people's cabbage

Baochai hurriedly returned to his boudoir, and after a long time, he didn't find which one he wanted to wear.

Ying'er smiled and stepped forward to choose a piece for her that Baochai usually liked, and asked her wishes.

Baochai nodded.

Ying'er smiled, then pulled Baochai and began to replace her.

Baochai's form is delayed.

Ying'er is inconvenient to replace, so she smiled and said: "Girl, raise your hand"

Only then did Baochai calm down and cooperate with Ying'er to change her clothes.

Ying'er looked at her young lady's expression, and said with a tentative smile: "Although I don't know what the poem that Second Master Bao read just now, it seems that the girl is coming." And it sounds good. ”

Baochai glanced at her and didn't speak.

Ying'er knows that her young lady is introverted, abides by etiquette, and is extremely self-disciplined.

Since she didn't open her mouth to reproach, it means that her words are still within the acceptable range of Baochai.

"Speaking of which, the family business that the wife is looking for for the girl is really wholeheartedly thinking about the girl.

Bao Erye has a good background, a good personality, and talent, and the most important thing is that he is also good to girls.

Others didn't know the girl's birthday, but he didn't know where to hear it, and he remembered it.

Obviously I want to study in the palace, and in order to come back to celebrate the girl's birthday, I deliberately took a leave"

Ying'er didn't know that she only had half a day's class in the study, and Jia Baoyu usually stayed in the Second Prince's Mansion in the afternoon, so it was so convenient to ask for leave.

Otherwise, who would dare to go to the courtyard for leave twice in three days?

"Who said it? Who told you that my mother betrothed me into a marriage? ”

Baochai suddenly said in a deep voice.

Ying'er was stunned: "Didn't Mrs. Auntie last year say when she borrowed silver from our wife, let you and "

"Nonsense." Baochai reprimanded.

"Last year, it was just a matter of their house to build a provincial garden, and my aunt borrowed some silver from my mother.

How old is Baoyu, his marriage will definitely be asked to the old lady of their family in the future, even the aunt is not easy to make her own decisions.

What you are saying now has been spread, as if our family is coercing us to repay the favor and insisting on marrying their family.

From now on, you shall never say such things again, have you heard it? ”

Because it is in a private place, Ying'er is her personal maid, so it is rare for Baochai to speak very bluntly.

"But"

"Nothing. Even if the two families really want to get married in the future, it can only be a matter of the two families' affection, and they must not be mixed with anything else here, don't you still understand what this means? ”

Ying'er is not stupid, after thinking about it, she finally knows what her young lady means.

How proud they are, even if they want to marry into Rongguofu, they have to be Rongguofu who sees her virtue and character and takes the initiative to ask for marriage.

She must not tolerate the rumors that she Xue Baochai was bought into Jiafu by the Xue family for 200,000 taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Ying'er blamed herself very much: "I know the girl, but I don't know the girl's intentions, I almost hurt the girl, and I will never say such things again in the future." ”

Baochai didn't say anything more, walked to his makeup, pulled it out, pondered for a long time, took out a goldfinch hairpin that he had almost never worn before, lowered his head and inserted it in front of the glass mirror.

Zhu Yan is not cultivated, it is already a rare beauty.

With only a slight embellishment, it is a peerless immortal asset.

Ying'er walked over, looked at her young lady, and let out admiration.

Baochai also looked in the mirror, and suddenly asked: "You, do you think, who is better looking, me or Hao'er?" ”

"Of course it's a girl"

"I'll talk about it when I'm ready."

"Ugh"

Ying'er didn't say a word, almost suffocating.

But looking at her young lady's expression, I also knew that she was asking her very seriously now.

"If you just talk about her appearance, Miss Lin is very beautiful, but how old is Miss Lin now, where is she good-looking.

Besides, even if Miss Lin's appearance is comparable to that of a girl, the girl's grace and atmosphere, knowledge of books and etiquette, these are not comparable to Miss Lin.

Not to mention, Miss Lin's body is so weak, as if a gust of wind can blow it down, and Mrs. Lin is a son of the second master, where can he marry Miss Lin"

Baochai didn't deny it, but suddenly hesitated: "Perhaps, he just prefers Sister Lin." ”

Baochai gently lifted his arm and looked in the mirror, and the crisp arm that he used to feel as white as snow seemed to be a little disgusted.

It does look a little plump

Ying'er saw Baochai's thoughts, and she suddenly smiled: "Look at what the girl thinks, Bao Er Ye must prefer girls like this, didn't the girl forget, just now Bao Er Ye praised the girl for 'Hao Wrist Frost and Snow'." ”

Ying'er didn't really understand Jia Baoyu's poems.

Baochai came back to his senses, and suddenly blushed and said: "What nonsense, who asked you if he liked it or not!" ”

Ying'er: ""
