Chapter 99: Xiangling's Heart
The sound of firecrackers is one year old.
After the dignified and solemn Chinese New Year's Eve sacrifice, it is time to celebrate the New Year with joy!
For Rongguo Mansion, the Chinese New Year is really a busy thing.
On the first day of the new year, enter the palace to congratulate and wish the spring of the new year.
From the second day of the first month to ten days, we will congratulate relatives and friends.
Fifteen, the Lantern Festival.
It wasn't until the seventeenth or eighteenth that the New Year's Festival was over, and the people of the clan were able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Early morning.
Jia Baoyu woke up from the warm quilt, noticed movement on the bed, opened his eyes and looked, it turned out that Xiangling had already sat on the edge of the bed, wearing a small coat.
The look of handling with care and care is really cute.
Jia Baoyu was moved, so he dragged her back and kissed her on the face.
Xiangling first let out a coquettish snort, and then said: "The second master is awake, the hour is still early, and the second master can sleep for a while." ”
Jia Baoyu shook his head and grunted in his throat.
Xiangling was amused, and just buttoned the last button of her little clothes, she said, "Then I'll serve the second master to get up." ”
After speaking, he was not afraid of the cold, and went down to bring Jia Baoyu's clothes.
The clothes that Jia Baoyu was going to wear the next day would be attacked the first night, and they were placed on the smoker cage in the house, with the inner clothes inside and the outer clothes covered on the outside, so as to ensure that they were still warm when they were worn the next day.
After dressing Jia Baoyu, Xiangling turned around and folded the quilt to make the bed.
Jia Baoyu watched Xiangling bend down to make the bed, although she showed the exquisite beauty of her body, she was also afraid that she would catch a cold, so she brought a coat from the side and covered her body.
Xiangling smiled back. Although the coat on her body made it inconvenient for her to do things, she was reluctant to take it off because Jia Baoyu put it on her, but every time she was about to slip off, she reached out and pulled it up.
Jia Baoyu looked at it and thought: How did such an extremely well-behaved and beautiful maid meet her?
Suddenly remembering something, Jia Baoyu said to Xiangling: "Xiangling, do you miss your family?" ”
Xiangling was stunned for a moment, looked back at Jia Baoyu, and then shook her head.
Although Xiangling denied it, Jia Baoyusi and Daiyu often miss their hometown, parents and relatives, and think about where the girls will be homesick.
Xiangling was very young when she was trafficked, and she may not remember her parents, but after so many years, it is inevitable that she sometimes longs for the warmth of her parents and relatives by her side.
"If, I mean, one day your family finds you, would you be willing to follow them?"
Jia Baoyu just suddenly remembered that although Xiangling's father had already become a Taoist priest, she also had a mother, although she didn't know where it was, but she should know if she wanted to come to Jia Yu Village.
After all, Jia Yucun's wife, Jiaoxing, is Xiangling's mother's personal maid.
If you can, you can write a letter and ask Jia Yucun to help find Xiangling's mother.
Xiangling smoothed out the last sheet of the bed, grabbed the coat on her body with one hand, turned around, looked at Jia Baoyu, and said, "What's wrong with the second master, is Xiangling doing something wrong, or is the second master tired of Xiangling and doesn't want Xiangling anymore......"
was originally happy and happy, but I don't know when it was already cloudy, and I saw that it was going to rain.
Jia Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him, and comforted: "How come, Xiangling is so sensible and well-behaved, how can the second master not want Xiangling?" That is, in the future, your relatives will find you, you want to leave, and the second master will not agree, so you will be a bully who forcibly occupies the people's daughter! ”
When Xiangling heard this, her face suddenly turned cloudy, and she said in a rare coquettish voice: "The second master is not a bully, the second master is the best person in the world to Xiangling." ”
When Jia Baoyu heard this, she felt ashamed, so she couldn't help but hit the plump part of her waist and said, "Quick, answer my previous question." ”
Xiangling sighed lightly, got up, looked at Jia Baoyu seriously, thought for a while, and finally said slowly and solemnly:
"Second master, Xiangling is an unblessed person with no relatives.
Xiangling only remembers that when she was very young, she was locked up in a very dilapidated yard where there was nothing but two sisters like me, and we had to wash many, many clothes every day.
Sometimes if you can't finish washing, or if your father says you don't wash it, you will be beaten and you will have nothing to eat the next day.
Later, both sisters were sold by him, and I was the only one left......"
This is the first time Xiangling has talked about the past, in the past, as long as others asked, she would only shake her head, and then say "I can't remember".
Maybe it was really the previous experience that was like a nightmare for her, even now, when she faced Jia Baoyu and said this, her face also flashed with obvious helplessness and fear.
It can be seen how much damage a little girl has caused to them after being abducted by abductors since she was a child.
Jia Baoyu hugged her distressedly, pressed her head on her shoulder, and said softly: "Don't think about it, it's all over." That man isn't your daddy, he's just a brute. ”
After a long while, Xiangling came out of her memories, and she actually let out a chuckle and said, "Later, I met the second master, and the second master is the best-looking person I have ever seen." The second master was very gentle, let me wear warm clothes, eat delicious food, and teach me to read and write, and didn't let others bully me......"
"Ahem." Jia Baoyu couldn't help but cough lightly.
He has heard a lot of praise, but from the mouth of a cute and simple girl, saying such a nice thing about Chiguoguo still makes him feel a little embarrassed.
Where is he so good, he is also selfish......
Xiangling couldn't see Jia Baoyu's expression, she was already immersed in her own world at this time.
“...... Then I realized that there are still such good places in the world, and there are so many such good people.
So, don't say that I don't have relatives in this world for a long time, even if I really do, I won't go with them, because, in my heart, the second master is my dearest and dearest person, as well as Sister Raider and Sister Qingwen, who are also my relatives......"
"Huh." Jia Baoyu smiled.
Xiangling doesn't know that she still has relatives alive now, so she doesn't care at all, if she really sees her biological mother one day, she will change her mind.
But as Xiangling said, since she feels that her life is the best now, then there is no need to make ripples again on the lake that she has just calmed down.
Later, when the time is right, it will be good to tell her about her mother.
Jia Baoyu and Xiangling talked here for a long time, and the attacker also woke up and got up.
went out and opened the door, and then walked into the back room, and saw Xiangling wiping tears, so he said: "In the morning, how did the second master bully Xiangling again?" ”
"No, the second master didn't bully me, I was careless, giving, blinding the wind......"
The attacker shook his head and smiled: "I can't even lie, this house is tightly closed, where does the wind come from?" ”
Xiangling bowed her head in shame.
The attacker was no longer pursued, she came over to check Jia Baoyu's body, and found nothing wrong. He hung a few tassels and ribbons around Jia Baoyu's waist, and said with a smile:
"The second master is going to study in the palace today, and he has to go out early, and say hello to the old lady and the old lady, so don't delay in the house too much."
"I still don't know, it's becoming more and more like a housekeeper."
was knocked on the forehead by Jia Baoyu, and the attack was both ashamed and happy.
I can still be managed by the second master now, in the future, where am I qualified?
Thinking casually in his mind, the attacker served Jia Baoyu to go out to wash, and then sent him to Jia's mother's house for breakfast.
