Chapter 232: Sister Feng's scheming
After Xue Baochai returned to Jiafu, he told Aunt Xue about seeing Pan Yueniang today, but he only concealed his private meeting with Lu Jing and Sister Feng's framing of Xue Pan to have this marriage.
Aunt Xue heard that Pan Yueniang was just ugly, but she had a good temperament, and her heart was a little more settled, but she still insisted on getting out of the marriage with the Pan family, and was bent on finding a daughter-in-law for her son who was both talented and good-looking, and had a good family background.
Xue Baochai persuaded Aunt Xue to temporarily recognize Pan Yueniang, and asked her to hide it from Xue Pan for the time being, and then decide whether to withdraw from the marriage or marry after some time.
After temporarily getting Xue Pan's marriage done, Xue Baochai set his sights on Wang Xifeng, wanting to get back a city, so he sent someone to Xue Pan to ask the details of the flower girl.
During this time, Wang Xifeng took the flower girl to visit around the two mansions, and introduced the flower girl's family history and praised the flower girl's appearance and temperament.
said that her family was also a family of poetry, only because her family was in the middle of the road, she was in the capital, and she fell in love with Jia Lian, so she was committed to Jia Lian as a concubine, and said that she was familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she could chant poems and paint, and praised the flower girl as if there was nothing in the sky and no earth.
After entering the door, Hua Guzi knew that Jiafu was high and had strict rules, and since she was humiliated when she first visited the old lady, she had been worried that everyone in Jiafu would despise her because of her background, and saw that Sister Feng intended to elevate her background, thinking that she was thinking about Jia Lian, so she actively cooperated with Sister Feng, made up a set of statements about her family background, and tried her best to flatter her.
Wang Xifeng saw that Hua Guzi was so easy to fall into the trap, and she was secretly happy in her heart, her move not only showed her large amount of ability, completely washed away the reputation of jealousy in the past, but also shaped Hua Guzi into a well-informed lady, which is convenient for follow-up planning.
It didn't take long for Xue Baochai to know the details of the flower girl from Xue Pan, the flower girl was born in the Qinglou, was a famous red man in Su Yang, went to Beijing in the year, and Jia Lian spent a thousand taels of silver to redeem her in September.
After knowing her identity, Xue Baochai instantly understood Sister Feng's sinister intentions, now everyone in Jiafu knows that Hua Lian is from a serious family, and Jiafu's relatives also know that Jia Lian has a good concubine, and they all praise Hua Guzi for her unparalleled appearance, and it is a grievance to be a concubine for Jia Lian.
Once her background is revealed, the image of the flower girl will be completely ruined, and the Jia family will punish her for neglecting her in order to maintain her own dignity, even if she does not drive her away, and the Jia family is accustomed to praising high and low, with these gossips, she will have no place in the mansion at all.
Seeing that Sister Feng temporarily placed Sister Hua in the garden, she was a little curious about Sister Feng's next means, so she planned to wait and see what happened and move when the time came.
On this day, Sister Feng saw that the foreplay was enough, so she asked Ping'er, Wang'er and others to slowly shake out the true background of the flower girl.
Ping'er, Wang'er and others took the order and left, so the news of the flowering sister-in-law who was born in a Qinglou gradually spread among the people of Jiafu, and said that she was lowly and cheating, full of lies.
How high I was a few days ago, how hard I fell now.
Hua Guzi went out for two days in a row, and she felt that everyone looked at her a little strangely, as if she was disdainful, and seemed to be pointing at something behind her, so she had doubts in her heart, so she called Xing'er and asked him what he had heard about him recently.
Xing'er squeaked and whined for a long time before telling the truth: "Second grandma, someone in the house knows your origin and says it, and now it is spread everywhere." ”
Thinking of the nasty words that those people said behind their backs, he burst into tears.
When the flower girl heard this, her heart trembled, her face instantly turned pale, and she hurriedly asked, "Didn't the eldest grandmother ask about this?" ”
Xing'er shook her head when she heard this, "I haven't heard the eldest grandmother mention this." ”
After hearing this, Hua Guzi's face turned even paler, recalling all the things after entering the mansion, and instantly understood the reason why Sister Feng avoided it for the past two days, knowing that she was obsessed with her calculations, and secretly hated herself for being careless, but she was blinded by her original show of weakness and goodwill.
It's just that Jia Lian is not here at the moment, he is alone, and he is helpless in this mansion, no one can call the shots, and his heart is inevitably full of misery.
Xing'er didn't know how to persuade when she saw it, and Wang Xifeng specially warned him that if he dared to hide anything from her in the future, he would peel his skin.
This time, I came to tell the truth to the flower girl that I came secretly at a risk, so I didn't dare to say anything else.
Hua Guzi waved Xing'er away, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and when she saw the two little maids sent by Wang Xifeng to serve, she didn't know where she had gone, and she didn't have any respect for herself in the past two days, and she suddenly became disheartened in her heart.
Thinking about it, he burst into tears, fearing that he would be seen and that he would alarm others, so he went out of the yard and found a secluded place in the garden and wept bitterly.
Jia Baoyu's mood has been a little irritable recently, as the belly of the attacker is getting bigger and bigger, and his temper is getting bigger and bigger, he can't allow him to get close to other maids, and now the opposition in Yihong Courtyard is becoming more and more obvious, and it has been divided into two factions, one faction is headed by Raider and Musk Yue, and the other faction is headed by Qing'e, Qiuwen, and Bijin, and the two factions still maintain harmony on the surface, but they are constantly fighting in private, which makes him uneasy.
Although Jia Baoyu is not enterprising, he is not a fool, and he also wanted to come forward to solve this situation after noticing it, but he was attacked several times and Qing'e changed the topic, and he knew that the two had no intention of reconciling, so he had no intention of paying attention to their affairs anymore.
So out of sight and out of mind, he came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to talk to Shi Xiangyun about his thoughts, and saw Xiangyun in a daze with a colored note, and hurriedly tiptoed over, stood behind her, and followed suit.
Cui Wei was worried that Baoyu would scare her girl, so she hurriedly reminded her: "Girl, Second Master Bao is here!" ”
Shi Xiangyun was shocked when he heard this, turned around and saw Baoyu, hurriedly put away the letter, and said with a cold face: "The second brother is becoming more and more rude, and he sneaked into the door, without my permission, and peeked at my letters, but there are still some rules to speak of." ”
Jia Baoyu was busy smiling and bowing down to make amends, and made amends to get Shi Xiangyun's understanding, and then began to explain: "Why did I sneak in, did you look too seriously and didn't find out, what did my sister look at so fascinating?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just a sentence that I read and copied on weekdays!" Shi Xiangyun snorted and hurriedly covered up.
Although Xue Baochai moved out of the garden, which made her feel a lot better, the maids around Baoyu made her even more angry, especially the attacker with the best relationship in Suri, watching the attacker hold her stomach and beg her to do needlework, she was even more depressed, but the attacker begged softly, and she couldn't say anything to refuse.
Whenever she thinks of her marriage, she is even more depressed, and Baoyu has lived in the garden for so long, there must be a lot of gossip outside, now the marriage can only be tied to Baoyu, but no one can make decisions for themselves, and their relationship with Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun is not good, although there are two new sisters, but one is Baochai's sister, and the other is silent, and he doesn't even have a sister who speaks to himself.
A few days ago, I was really annoyed and wrote a letter to Daiyu, saying some things on my mind, and today Daiyu sent a reply, but she didn't want Baoyu to know, first, she didn't want Baoyu and Daiyu to have anything to do with each other, and secondly, she didn't want Baoyu to know that she had no one to sue, so she could only go to Daiyu.
Jia Baoyu smiled: "Don't hide it from me, I have seen it." ”
Shi Xiangyun said nervously: "What did you see?" ”
Jia Baoyu pursed his lips and smiled: "I've seen it all, you haven't recruited it from the truth, who wrote the letter to you?" ”
Shi Xiangyun saw that she didn't see that it was written by Daiyu, nor did she say Daiyu's name, but only said that it was a letter sent by her aunt.
Jia Baoyu heard that it was a letter from home, and saw his expression lamenting, and hurriedly smiled: "I lied to you, I saw a sentence, and you put it away." ”
Shi Xiangyun felt a little relieved after hearing this, and asked, "Which sentence did you see?" ”
Jia Baoyu smiled: "That's the sentence: 'False insufficiency, self-disaster.'" It's really unscrupulous, and people are evil. I remember that this sentence is from "The Glory and Withering", and if it is hypocritical and easy to be seen, it will bring disaster to yourself. Speaking sincerely but straightforwardly, without regard for other people's feelings, can be disgusting. Why would your family say this to you? ”
Seeing this, Shi Xiangyun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm afraid that I have no scruples when I speak, and it will be easy to offend people, so I am persuaded to change my habit of being straightforward and fast-talking." ”
Jia Baoyu nodded and smiled: "That's right, I have long wanted to persuade you to change, in the past, you and Sister Lin often said something that was too much." ”
Shi Xiangyun heard him mention Daiyu, and thought that this sentence was exactly what Daiyu advised, and his heart was a little complicated, thinking that he would come to talk to him about the bad things that attacked people and Qing'e, and he was not in the mood to talk to him again.
