Chapter 281: Peace of Mind
(Thanks to Fei Nie for his support)
It's March in the blink of an eye, the peach blossoms in Jiafu are in full bloom, and Jia Baoyu has lived a very calm time on the surface during this time, but in fact, there is an undercurrent, dealing with a lot of existences that want to be unfavorable to the Jia family.
It is rare for Xiangyun to come over today, and a few people are very interested, so they decided to come to a peach blossom poetry meeting, although Jia Baoyu is very busy, it is impossible not to go.
First went to Daiyu and called Daiyu, the two walked together, just went to Qinfang Pavilion, and saw a person walking in front, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but pause.
The person in front is Baoqin, with Jia Baoyu's reputation, plus the matter of Ziyilou has also attracted much attention, half a month, and the details are enough to be known to everyone.
Not to mention anything else, it is obvious that Mei Jin and Jia Baoyu do not deal with this matter, and most of the people who mention the two are disdainful of Mei Jin.
Even if Baoqin has never seen Mei Jin, but what this person says is also her fiancé, he doesn't say it, he still has unhappiness and embarrassment in his heart, in half a month, the two have met several times, and they are all in a state of not being embarrassed or embarrassed, to be honest, Jia Baoyu would rather not see Baoqin.
"Sister Jean." Jia Baoyu was embarrassed, but Daiyu had been getting along with Baoqin very well recently, and when she saw her, she immediately screamed.
Baoqin turned around when she heard the sound, and when she saw Jia Baoyu, her face instantly felt a little more ashamed.
She was as angry as an ordinary woman at the beginning when her fiancé was beaten by Jia Baoyu, blaming Jia Baoyu for not showing mercy in front of her.
But she is not that kind of worldly woman after all, and then she inquired about what happened. A heart was first half suspended, and then he asked Xue Zhen to investigate Mei Jin's past deeds, and the whole heart sank, and he was only ashamed of Jia Baoyu.
Baoqin is such a subtle change Daiyu naturally doesn't understand, she only pays attention to Jia Baoyu's affairs, as for Mei Jin, who was beaten by Jia Baoyu, she has forgotten her name now, how can she still pay attention to whose fiancé is, but Jia Baoyu, the party, is very clear.
Whether it was an illusion or a fact, Jia Baoyu didn't say much. The three of them went to Daoxiang Village together. Along the way, most of them were Baoqin and Daiyu talking, and Jia Baoyu said one after another from time to time, all of which were dispensable.
When I arrived at Daoxiang Village, I was already in the spring, Xiuyan, spring, and cherishing spring. Baochai and Xiangyun have not yet arrived.
Li Kun: There aren't many people here. In addition, Jia Lan does not live here in order to study. also has to leave a group of people to take care of it, so Li Wen and Li Qi will also help greet everyone.
Li Qi served tea to Jia Baoyu, but there were already two more blush on her face. Because Jia Baoyu has another thing that people talk about, the rumors that have just been extinguished before have been revitalized, and she has heard a lot.
is the same as Li Qi, but compared to Li Qi, who has just come in January, Xiuyan is already very accustomed to this matter, and no one even said that she will not be used to it.
"'Love' brother." The people of Xiangyun did not arrive, but the sound arrived first, and the words of biting their tongues made Jia Baoyu feel more cordial.
The two of them came, and after a short rest, the poetry meeting officially began, since today is the Peach Blossom Poetry Club, it is natural to do Peach Blossom Poems.
In order to meet the occasion, although there are no peach trees in Daoxiang Village, some ready-made peach blossom branches are also made from the outside and inserted into the bottle, and everyone has one in front of them.
The peach blossoms reflected everyone's faces, and they were beautiful for a while, Jia Baoyu looked at it, but he didn't know if the person who was reflected in the words was more beautiful or if this beauty made the words more vibrant.
Since everyone is at the beginning, they are preoccupied, and even Li Kun, Yingchun, and Xichun, who are not good at this, are also very focused.
Daiyu and Xiangyun, who had the most thoughts, were written quickly, Baochai was a little late, and then Tanchun, Xiuyan, Li Wen, and Li Qi were also completed.
Yingchun, Li Kun, and Xichun also wrote a thing that satisfied them, but Jia Baoyu and Baoqin, who were quick thinking in the past, have not written a word until now.
No matter what Baoqin said, he was also a guest, so naturally no one would urge, Xiangyun said dissatisfiedly to Jia Baoyu: "The second brother is really boring, he is single-minded when he says it, and he is thinking about other things." ”
Jia Baoyu shook his head helplessly, crying out for injustice, "I'm thinking about poetry wholeheartedly, but it's only half a sentence now, and I can't write anything else." ”
Hearing Jia Baoyu say this, everyone instantly became interested, explaining that they wanted to see what Jia Baoyu's half of the poem was, but they were not in a hurry to compete, after all, Baoqin had not yet been written.
Jia Baoyu did have half a sentence in his heart, and he was also moved by the scene in the house, and wrote seven words on the paper, "The peach blossoms on the human face are red." ”
Everyone couldn't help but read it twice, and the more they read, the more they liked it, Jia Baoyu explained: "I just looked at your sisters and sisters, and there is only such a half sentence in my heart, and I don't think it's appropriate to write anything else." ”
"Isn't that just inappropriate?" Daiyu picked up the pen as she spoke, and scratched a few random strokes on her poems, but she couldn't see it clearly.
"It's okay if you write a whole song, but just use this sentence to oppress people, it seems that we are too clichéd."
Jia Baoyu was helpless, this was naturally not his true intention, but now it seems that this is what he meant?
"Qin'er hasn't written it until now, but there is a sentence and a half in my heart." Baochai watched Daiyu and Jia Baoyu arguing, but asked Baoqin.
This question attracted even Daiyu's attention, and she doubted that it could be that Baoqin was like Jia Baoyu.
Baoqin shook her head when she heard this, "Qin'er has been thinking hard for a long time, but she has not gained half of it, I am afraid that I will not be able to write it today, and I ask your sisters to forgive me." ”
Whether everyone knows or doesn't know, they won't blame Baoqin, but point the finger at Jia Baoyu, and the poetry meeting at the beginning was completely ruined by Jia Baoyu, and it was necessary to punish him greatly.
Jia Baoyu also knew that he was at a loss, and it just so happened that the ordered snacks and drinks were delivered at this time, and this matter was over, but Baoqin's interest was not high, which everyone could see.
At the end of the poetry meeting, Xiangyun gave a souvenir of the poetry meeting, a peach blossom hairpin.
Jia Baoyu is very concerned about Xiangyun's current life, not only specially sent someone to serve Xiangyun, but also allocated money to Xiangyun every month, plus Mrs. Shi Ding in the Zhongjing Marquis Mansion was not very good to Xiangyun because of the experience of the past, but she was by no means mean, so Xiangyun is living a very comfortable life now, and these hairpins are all handmade by her.
Everyone dispersed, and Jia Baoyu was about to call Daiyu to go together, but was stopped by Baochai.
It's not called Jia Baoyu, but Daiyu, on the one hand, she invites Daiyu to her, and on the other hand, she gives Jia Baoyu a look.
Jia Baoyu's meaning to Baochai was understood in an instant, and there was no intention of refusal, and it was impossible to refuse.
Everyone left one after another, and not far away, Daiyu asked, "What did Sister Bao let Brother Bao do!" In Daoxiang Village, she knew that Baochai deliberately called herself something, but she didn't ask any questions.
Baochai naturally wouldn't hide it from Daiyu, and told Baoqin about it, and finally sighed, "It's really hard for Qin'er, and the person who entrusts her life is actually such a character." ”
Daiyu is also very sympathetic to Baoqin's experience, and agrees with Baochai's approach, and only Jia Baoyu is likely to help Baoqin among everyone.
Xiangyun even felt the same way, "You must let the second brother help the younger sister Qin." ”
Baoqin has been listless since she came out of Daoxiang Village, but she didn't go out of the garden directly, she chose a direction at random and went alone, Jia Baoyu followed behind, didn't make a sound, but she wouldn't be discovered by Baoqin, just wanted to see where she would go.
Baoqin walked not close, all the way to the small hill next to the Cave Jingxi Pavilion, there are many peach trees, and the peach branches selected today are also folded from here.
Sitting under a peach tree, Baoqin buried her head in her chest and was silent for a long time, Jia Baoyu was just about to speak, but she just listened to Baoqin's whining cry.
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, at the age of flowers, came to the capital with a hint of longing, and the ideal husband did not have it, but she got the worst answer, which she could not afford, and came here just because there was no one.
Although he has high expectations for his future husband, even ordinary people can accept it, but Mei Jin's every move he knows makes Baoqin collapse.
Good Longyang, lingering in the land of fireworks all day long, robbing the people's daughters and oppressing the people has done a lot, just a son of Hanlin, but the bad things he has done seem to be people from the palace, these are the reasons why Mei Jin is recognized by the surrounding fox friends and dogs.
These are what Baoqin knows, as well as the things that Jia Baoyu investigated, Mei Jin is a heavenly eunuch.
Listening to the cry of the girl beside her, which became more and more poignant, Jia Baoyu could feel the helplessness of this girl and the sadness of her disillusionment, as well as the deep helplessness.
In such an era, since it is a set parent, it is basically a set, even if it can suppress people's reputation with power, it is completely bad, not to mention that Mei Jin's father is a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and his status is transcendent.
Baoqin cried for a long time, and Jia Baoyu watched from the side for a long time, and she also felt guilty and reflective in her heart.
For Baoqin, Jia Baoyu has more of an attitude of letting it develop, perhaps deep down in her heart she may have a good ending even if she marries, and her reluctance comes from her own possessiveness.
But now he knows that his idea is wrong, like Daiyu and them, he must be more active, more active to help and love, otherwise they will also be sad.
originally thought that the thread of fate was only the people in this Jia Mansion, but now Jia Baoyu knows that everyone is on this line, and no one can let go of it.
In this way, the two of them didn't know how long they had been sitting, until Baoqin was tired of crying and fell asleep, Jia Baoyu got up and walked to Baoqin's side.
Give her a lean, gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Don't worry! I'm not going to let you get hurt like that. ”
Then Jia Baoyu didn't do anything, just let Baoqin lean on the side, knowing that Baoqin woke up, he also left instantly.
Baoqin, who woke up, looked around with some confusion, she clearly heard someone talking to her, was it an illusion? but
Why is it so much more secure? (To be continued......)
