In the Yihong Courtyard of the Grand View Garden of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu is appeasing the attackers to make amends.

The attacker wept and said: "Why don't you run away without saying anything, this is worth it!" If you do this again tomorrow, I will no longer cover up for you from the old lady and wife! ”

Jia Baoyu said hurriedly: "Good sister, don't cry, I will tell you first when I go out in the future!" As he spoke, he wiped away the attacker's tears.

Now Jia Baoyu was completely pinched by the attacker, and in order to prevent Jia Baoyu and other maids from messing around, the attacker slept outside Baoyu's bedroom every night, guarding Baoyu from being approached, and only letting Musk Yue serve when bathing.

The attacker wiped his tears and complained: "It's not that I have to ask to understand, but the old lady, Mrs. is anxious, and she came to ask several times, saying that we are not serving with all our hearts, and several of them have been scolded, we don't know where you went, and we can only do it in a hurry, worried that you are not full elsewhere, and you are frightened on the road!" ”

Jia Baoyu was moved in his heart after hearing this, and hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, and after trying to appease him, he saw that the attacker was no longer angry, so he smiled and said: "The makeup is crying, you should rub some more fat powder." ”

The attacker nodded, and was about to get up and look for powder.

Jia Baoyu hurriedly held her down and said, "Your body is inconvenient, don't move!" ”

As he spoke, he walked to the dressing table, opened a porcelain box of Xuan kiln, took out a hosta flower stick, poured it on the palm of his hand, smeared it evenly for the attacker, and took out a small white jade box, picked a little bit with a fine hairpin and wiped it in the palm of his hand, and wiped it on the attacker's lips with a little water, and slapped the attacker's cheeks in the palm of his hand.

The two were in love, and Musk Yue came in and said, "I heard that several girls from the house are all at the old lady's, don't you go and take a look?" ”

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu hurriedly told Musk Yue to take care of the attacker, and then came to Jia's mother.

Mother Jia saw that Xue Baoqin was outstanding, straightforward and lively, and loved her very much, so she forced Mrs. Wang to recognize her as her goddaughter.

Mrs. Wang was a little confused after hearing this, and she was a little reluctant, she didn't want to have a godsister who was a businessman as the daughter of a concubine, but she didn't dare to go against the old lady's wishes, so she had to endure her unhappiness and recognize Xue Baoqin as her goddaughter.

Mother Jia was both happy and relieved when she saw this, and she didn't let Baoqin live in the garden, so she followed her to sleep in a peaceful place at night, first, to love Baoqin's temperament, second, to see Baoqin not to give her too many opportunities to contact Baoyu, and third, to let Baoyu and Baoqin recognize as brother and sister, and put an end to the possibility of the two being together.

After thinking about it, he said to Mrs. Xing: "Your nephew doesn't have to go home, and she will stay in the garden for a few days, and it's not too late to go back after shopping." ”

Mrs. Xing was secretly annoyed when she heard this, and secretly hated the old lady for despising her mother's family, if she wanted to talk about the Xing family, she was not closer to the second room of the Xue family, which could not be beaten by eight poles, and the old lady asked her to recognize her mother and stay by her side to support her.

What's more, when Aunt Xue first came, the old lady not only kept it personally, but also arranged for Lixiangyuan for them to live in, and now that her brother and sister-in-law have arrived, they just sent it with a few words.

Thinking of the difficulties in her brother and sister-in-law's family, this time she had to rely on her own help to manage the house and entanglement in Beijing, so Mrs. Xing pushed the boat to hand over her niece Xing Xiuyan to Sister Feng'er to take care of.

Wang Xifeng saw that the old lady had a very cold attitude towards the Xing family, and her mother-in-law threw her niece to herself, and secretly calculated in her heart, although there are many empty houses in the garden, but you can't set up another place for Xing Xiuyan to live, it is better to send it to Yingchun to settle there, if Xing Xiuyan has anything unsatisfactory in the future, even if the mother-in-law knows, it has nothing to do with herself.

Seeing that the old lady wanted to tell Baoqin to Baoyu, she couldn't help but think about whether to fulfill this marriage.

Shi Xiangyun saw that the two new sisters were happy, but seeing that the old lady loved Xue Baoqin so much, he felt a little sad in his heart, now the Shi family is not in Beijing, and he has no one to rely on when he lives in Jiafu, and the marriage has been delayed, and he doesn't know when he will be settled, and his expression is a little gloomy for a while.

After Jia Baoyu saw Xue Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan, he went to see Xue Zhen and Wang Ren again, and sighed at the gap between Xue Pan and Xue Zhen, and then went back.

On the way back, Jia Baoyu met Tanchun, and said happily: "A few days ago, you organized a poetry club in the garden and couldn't get together any people, but today the ghost sent two of them, this number of people is enough, only one, I don't know if they have ever learned to compose poetry?" ”

Tanchun smiled lightly: "I just asked them, although they are all humble, but seeing their expressions, there is nothing that they can't." ”

Jia Baoyu was extremely happy after hearing this, the poetry meeting of the Grand View Garden was finally able to start, and suddenly thought of Daiyu, so he sighed: "It's just that Sister Lin is not there after all, it's a little unbeautiful!" ”

Tanchun sighed: "Sister Lin is married, so it is naturally inconvenient to come and go. ”

After speaking, he sighed again: "Last time, Sister Bao also said that she couldn't pull away and excuse herself, next time you have to go and invite it in person!" ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Don't worry, when you start the poetry club one day, I will invite you to it." After speaking, he asked about the time of the club and urged Tanchun to start the club as soon as possible.

Tanchun shook his head and smiled: "Why are you so anxious, and wait patiently for a few days, when they are all familiar, wouldn't it be better for us to invite them again?" ”

Jia Baoyu smiled happily when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "You still understand, I have been a fool for a long time, and I like it for a while, but I can't think of it." ”

The two walked all the way and talked, and when they were separated in the garden, they went back to their respective places.

Li Kun was very happy when he learned that his aunt had brought his two younger sisters to Beijing, especially after hearing that it was the Lu family who picked them up.

Although he is related to the Lu family, he has never had an excuse to visit the Lu family, and now he can take this opportunity to meet Lu Jing, not to mention begging him to accept Lan'er as a disciple, but also to ask him to guide his son's homework.

Thinking of this, Li Kun hurriedly went to tell Mrs. Wang and Mother Jia, saying that his aunt should go to see her when she entered Beijing.

Jia's mother liked Li Kun's virtuous and young and respectable people, so she agreed to Li Kun's request and asked, "Where do your aunts live now?" If you are staying at an inn, you might as well invite them to live in our garden. ”

Li Su hurriedly told Jia's mother about her aunt's residence in the Lu family.

Mother Jia's eyes flashed after hearing this, and the youngest son entrusted Lan'er to take care of her before leaving Beijing, and their mother and son maintained the relationship between the Jia family, the Li family, and the Lu family, so she smiled and said: "Since this is the case, if you want to visit in the future, you don't have to come again to ask for instructions, just talk to Feng Yatou directly." ”

Li Kun was overjoyed when he heard this, and left with a lot of thanks.

After Xue Zhen visited everyone in Jiafu, he came directly to the Xue family's residence and temporarily lived in Xue Pan's study.

In the evening, Xue Zhen came to Aunt Xue to discuss countermeasures worriedly, now his father is newly mourned, and his mother is sick in bed with phlegm, and his brother and sister should be serving their mother at home, but now for the marriage of their sister, they have to go to the aunt's house in Rongfu.

Now that the Mei family is not in the capital in office, they revealed that they want to withdraw from the marriage, and they have no choice but to enter Beijing to borrow the momentum of the Jia family, hoping that the Mei family will not withdraw from their relatives, keep their sister's marriage, and also keep the dignity and hope of the Xue family.

Aunt Xue was immediately anxious after hearing Xue Zhen's explanation, if her niece was divorced, it would also affect the reputation of the Xue family's daughter, Baochai has not yet come out of the cabinet, how should this be good.

After hearing this, Xue Baochai comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, now that Baoqin has become the goddaughter of her aunt and the godsister of the concubine, the Mei family will have many worries even if she wants to quit." ”

Thinking of the old lady's very different attitude towards herself and Baoqin, she understood what the old lady meant, she liked people like Baoqin, but she didn't like herself, and she secretly blocked her heart, she had moved out of the garden, indicating that she did not marry Baoyu, and the old lady was still not at ease, so she suppressed herself.

Xue Zhen's expression was a little calmer after hearing this, and now that her sister is still young, she can still think of a way.

Xue Baochai thought of his brother's marriage again, and his heart was a little gloomy, if he hadn't dissuaded him, his mother would have relented, but he blamed the mother and daughter of the Xia family for being too shrewd, and made tempting conditions, implying that if his brother became the son-in-law of the Xia family, the wealth of the Xia family would be inherited by his grandson in the future, so his mother was a little moved.

Now my brother has been thinking about the daughter of the Xia family, and he has no choice but to delay it temporarily.
