Baochai stayed at home, very restrained and nervous. Everything here is strange and terrible, whether it is the layout of the furnishings or the room of slaves in the eye, none of them are oriental, they are all Western.

At first, in his room, Baochai could barely maintain his composure, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, Marianne came to invite Baochai downstairs for afternoon tea.

Although he learned some local etiquette from Benjamin on the boat, such as how to sit and how to walk, he did not learn anything about drinking tea on the ship.

The tea bowl doesn't look like a tea bowl, but like a small pot, how can there be a handle on it, and there is not even a lid. This tea looks weird and smells very fragrant, but it looks like a medicinal juice in the dark.

On the dining car next to it, there are many dim sum, which look exquisite and pleasing to the eye, but they are different from the dim sum she ate in Huaxia, and I don't know which one is in the mouth.

Just embarrassed, there was a doorbell outside the door, several maids walked quickly to the door with their skirts, shouting something, Baochai looked at the corridor with a puzzled face, Marianne bowed and smiled: "The ladies are back, Miss Xue, please wait a moment." ”

With that, Marianne also withdrew from the living room, and walked down the hallway to the foyer. Bao Chai hurriedly got up and followed, and saw that the door was open, and all the maids stood outside in two rows, and Marianne went out and stood between the two rows of maids, and was opening the door for a carriage.

In that carriage, came down four beautifully dressed ladies. Baochai looked at it, and it was really her four cousins.

The four of them were wearing hats, and as soon as they got out of the car, Xichun reached out to untie their hats, and Yingchun asked Marianne: "My sister heard that she is here?" ”

Before Marianne could answer, Baochai walked to the door and called out with a smile: "Second sister, I'm here." ”

Yingchun and the others looked at the door, saw that Baochai had arrived, and changed into Western clothes, and they all laughed.

The men went into the house and returned to the living room, where Marianne served tea to each of them, and was about to retreat, when Tanchun stopped her and said, "My sister is not used to drinking coffee, so please make a pot of oriental tea." ”

Daiyu smiled: "I'm tired of drinking today, I want to drink tea." ”

Marianne immediately said, "Then I will order someone to prepare a few more oriental snacks and come back immediately." ”

Baochai saw that the four sisters had become accustomed to being like fish in water here, and couldn't help but envy in her heart. But looking at the four sisters with a faint alienation on their faces, they knew that they were still disgusted by their sisters, and they felt a little sad.

"A few days ago, my father received a letter from my mother, saying that my sister was coming, and we thought it was a joke. How can my sister's family be separated from my sister, I have never taken it seriously. Daiyu saw that the atmosphere was not very good, so she smiled and said, "Now that my sister is really here, it makes us feel like a dream." ”

Baochai tugged at the corners of her mouth, smiling bitterly, knowing that if she didn't understand the stakes involved, her sisters wouldn't have any good looks at her.

She has been high-spirited since she was a child, and she doesn't want to show her cowardice in front of others, but now she is under the fence, and she has to rely on her sisters in diplomacy.

So Baochai slowly told what happened in her family, from how she was rectified by her wife and slowly changed, to the later wife building momentum for her, ready to help her find another good family. In the end, how did her mother turn against her for her brother, and she was also "sold" to her cousin for a ridiculous 5,000 taels of silver.

At first, a few girls listened, and their faces were still a little disdainful, but the more they heard it, everyone's faces became more and more solemn.

When she heard that in order to marry Baochai to Baoyu, Aunt Xue designed it in the Wang family, and even bought the maid next to Baochai, Xichun couldn't help it anymore, and burst out: "Old witch!" ”

After scolding, Xichun hurriedly apologized: "Sister Bao, I don't have a heart, don't blame me." ”

Yingchun and others were also busy helping to cherish the spring, after all, it was Baochai's mother who was scolded by the spring.

Who knew that Baochai listened, just smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Fourth sister, don't worry, now I don't have any nostalgia for that family in my heart." When my mother designed me to meet my cousin, I knew I was as light as nothing in her heart.

"My cousin is harsh and harsh on me, but she really wants my good. Seeing that I was hypocritical and pretentious, he gave me a heavy medicine, which made me realize that I would be a new person.

"But my mother only knows how to use me as a bargaining chip, and does not care what my life will be like in the future, as long as she achieves her goal, she will be satisfied.

"The fate of a woman is already bumpy and difficult, if she doesn't even love her biological mother, what else can she think about in this world. I thought that I would comb myself in the future, and never mention the word marriage again, which broke my mother's thoughts. My cousin persuaded me to abandon everything and start over, and asked me to come to the West and join you.

"But don't worry, I brought a coil, it's all my private room, not the Xue family's things. It was given to me by the wives and old ladies every year, and I brought it with me in exchange for real money. I thought, in addition to the annual living expenses given to you, what the rest will be used for, but I don't know it when I first arrive, and I hope that my sisters will give me more advice. ”

Tanchun always had some sympathy in his heart, although he sympathized with Baochai, he still did not forget how harmful Baochai was back then. So she just sat and didn't speak, but Daiyu on the side spoke.

"Since my sister is here, don't see outside. What kind of living expenses are not living expenses, where can they be calculated so clearly? If that's the case, wouldn't I have to be ashamed of myself if I have been eating and drinking for nothing and living with them for the past two years? ”

Yingchun also hurriedly smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to start over, in my opinion, first familiarize yourself with the environment before making a decision." There are ready-made teachers in this language, and we used to have three classes a week, but if my sister is in a hurry, I will ask her to come every day tomorrow, okay? ”

Baochai nodded hurriedly and responded: "Then thank you second sister." ”

Xichun said again: "A good teacher is not as good as a good environment, you will go out with us tomorrow, and if you mix for a few months, you will only have one class a week, and you can talk freely." ”

Daiyu said again: "And on weekdays, what you want to eat and drink, just tell Marianne, don't bear it, we have our cook, you just want to eat hometown food, don't worry." ”

Several sisters were relieved, Baochai gradually relaxed, smiled and blended into everyone, and a maid re-served the refreshment, and sure enough, it was Chinese. Baochai smiled and ate and drank, and barely padded his stomach.
