043 Housewarming Banquet
When Xue Pan came home in the evening, Xue Baobao asked him about He Yan and Yu Xin.
Xue Pan told him about meeting He Yan and the others that day, and later asked Jia Lian to drink together, and said with a smile, "After that day, I invited them to have a drink again."
I got acquainted with this back and forth, and occasionally I would say hello and laugh a few words, but I didn't expect them to give a courtesy, which is really polite."
Xue Pan met He Yan and the others by chance, and was invited to go to the drunken Eight Immortals to drink together, which was the second day when she met Yu Xin in Wuwen Pavilion!
Xue Baobao only felt that his heart was beating hard, and sure enough, sure enough, Yu Xin was helping his brother find her!
Otherwise, what good would it do for him, a Jinyi Wei who was deeply favored by the emperor, to get close to Xue Pan so deliberately?
Xue Baobao asked quietly, "Brother, what is Lord Yu like?" At that time, Uncle Lin said that I had been worried for a long time."
Xue Pan waved his hand, "Uncle Lin is a scholar and timid, Lord Yu is a little colder and less talkative, where is Aunt Lin so terrifying?"
I've always remembered what you told me, don't comment on other people's looks at any time, neither men nor women.
When I first met Lord Yu, although I barely couldn't bear to praise him for his beauty, I also showed a dumbfounded face.
Lord Yu was not angry, and Lord He was still telling jokes on the side, saying that if you don't look ugly when you see Lord Yu at first glance, you can count it on one hand in the capital."
Xue Baobao is even more sure that the rumors about Yu Xin that Lin Ruhai said, even if they are not 100% true, are 8% true.
Yu Xin can definitely not be regarded as an easy-going and easy-going person, but when he gets along with Xue Pan, he is definitely approachable, and there must be a reason.
That reason is my brother, my brother!
Xue Baobao asked for details again, and saw that Xue Pan really couldn't say more, so he let him go, and his heart was sweeter than eating a sweet potato.
It's good that my brother is here and has found her, and soon he will come to see her, she just needs to be patient......
……
……
The invitation of the Xue family was sent to Jiafu, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng did not come, only Jia Lian came with Jia Huan in Rongfu, and Jia Baoyu came with the female dependents.
However, the gentlemen of the Ning Mansion all said that they were coming, and Mrs. Xue was very confused.
Mrs. Xue asked someone to find the best troupe, and divided it into two days, the first day to invite officials and guests, and the second day to invite guests.
Because Xue Pan did not have his father and brother to help him in Beijing, Mrs. Xue specially gave a gift and asked Jia Lian to help entertain guests.
On the day of the treat, it was inconvenient for Mrs. Xue to show up, but she took the opportunity to secretly go to the front yard to take a look, and came back happily wiping her tears.
In Xue Baobao's opinion, Xue Pan is still a stupid big man, but because he is afraid of her radish and stick policy, he doesn't dare to make trouble everywhere.
But Mrs. Xue was a mother, watching her son drink and watch dramas with her colleagues outside, only to feel that her son had finally grown up and had a good life, how to watch and love.
Xue Baobao had already sent people to keep an eye on him, but He Yan came, but he couldn't help but be very disappointed when he didn't see Yu Xin's figure.
When the guests were sent away, Xue Baobao went to ask Xue Pan, who was half drunk, why Yu Xin didn't come to eat.
Xue Pan smiled stupidly, "I don't have that much face!" I heard that Lord Yu never went to other people's houses to eat and drink, even if the king of Xiping married his daughter to have a banquet, he didn't go, let alone me moving to invite wine."
Xue Baobao, "......"
Inexplicably, I want to beat my stupid brother again!
The banquet on the second day was more lively than the first day, and Wang Ziteng's wife thought that she was still angry, so she didn't come because she was sick, and she didn't call her daughter to come.
The female dependents of Rongning Erfu came except for Jia's mother who went out impatiently, and even Li Kun came with Jia Lan.
In addition, there are Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong, who can't count their daughters or children, but they also came on this day.
If it was Jia Baoyu alone, it would be okay, but Qin Zhong also came, and Mrs. Xue saw them coming, so she had to ask Xue Pan to ask Xiu to accompany her at home.
Mrs. Xue was afraid that the girls would be impatient to listen to the play, so she invited a juggling team and a storyteller, and sure enough, the girls were very happy and gathered around to watch.
Xue Baobao looked at the void, gave Lin Daiyu a look, and took Lin Daiyu to see her yard.
The Xue family's house has been cleaned up, and the courtyard has been completely repacked according to Lin Daiyu's preferences, and the original small rockery inside has been removed.
Powder wall house, and thousands of green bamboo shade, the backyard has a large pear blossom and plantain, and a pool of living water, there are several water lilies, full of pond water chestnut leaves, it is the common scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lin Daiyu was silent for a long time, and said, "It's too expensive."
It was a world away from the last time she saw it.
Xue Baobao smiled, "My sister has always been an elegant person, but now when I see this courtyard, I don't say that it is well arranged, but I only say how much money it spent. ”
Lin Daiyu knew that she didn't want to feel guilty, thinking that she couldn't repay herself, at least she couldn't make her bother to make herself happy, so she smiled at her words, "Then I'd rather follow my sister every day to learn badly."
If nothing else, you can live in as many yards as you want, without having to crowd with others or condescend to other people's preferences."
Xue Baobao suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes, "If you like it, if you like it, you have to remember to live more in the future, and you don't have to bring many things, even the maid doesn't have to bring more, there are all here."
Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said, "I really want to borrow someone from my sister today."
Xue Baobao was busy asking the reason, and Lin Daiyu blamed herself for the attack on Jia Baoyu's illness, and said about the instigation of Mrs. Wang, and said, "I heard my sister say that the subordinates of Dongfu have nothing to do with their mouths that day, and a few taels of silver can make them even talk about such things, so I also paid attention."
I have heard some rumors these days, only the second brother lives with the old lady, and my aunt is staring at it all the time, so I don't want to stretch out my hand rashly and make the old lady feel cold.
It's just right today, my maid is too conspicuous, and I borrow someone from my sister, so I don't have to do anything, just stare at the attack."
Xue Baobao was so angry when he heard it, the attacker himself and Jia Baoyu were not clear, but he always liked to pretend to be virtuous, and he talked about this bewitching and disrespectful in front of Mrs. Wang every day!
She remembered that in the original book, she wrote several times that she attacked Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baochai that Lin Daiyu was not good or bad, so she had already reminded Lin Daiyu to beware of her.
The attacker was just afraid that Lin Dai would be sensitive and not easy to serve, Jia Baoyu loved Lin Daiyu deeply, once Lin Daiyu married Jia Baoyu, she would have no place to be a prospective aunt, so she was so worried!
I didn't expect her to start so early!
Xue Baobao called Ying'er angrily, and told her to find an inconspicuous little girl to stare at the attacker, and took care of everything, "Sister, you don't have to worry, I always have to find a way to make her suffer a big loss!" ”
Lin Daiyu pinched the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, "Don't bother my sister, my sister has moved out now, but it's not as convenient as me."
Xue Baobao reacted from anger at this time, hey, no, Sister Lin will even fight back and retaliate? Did you really learn badly with her?
……
……
After all, today is the Xue family's hospitality, Xue Baobao took Lin Daiyu to see the yard, and then went back to the garden to accompany Sanchun and others to watch the drama and laugh.
After listening to Lin Daiyu's words, she naturally paid special attention to attacking people, but there were too many people, and there were a large number of masters alone, plus the maids and women who were waiting, and they were all dressed in fancy clothes, and they were dizzy to see people's eyes, she only had one wrong eye, and the attackers disappeared.
Looking at it again, Jia Baoyu was not there.
Xue Baobao invited the maid who was waiting for tea to ask, but the maid said that Jia Baoyu only stayed in the backyard for a while and then went to the front yard to look for Xue Pan.
Xue Baobao suddenly understood, today because Qin Zhong was also there, Xue Pan had to stay at home to entertain guests, Jia Baoyu could rely on his identity and Jia's mother's love to drill into the backyard girl, but Qin Zhong couldn't.
Therefore, at the beginning, Qin Zhong was taken to the front yard by Xue Pan.
Jia Baoyu first accompanied Mrs. Wang and others to watch the play in the backyard, thinking that it was because she felt bored later, or Xue Pan and Qin Zhong screamed, and went to the front yard again.
Then, the attacker couldn't help but follow.
Well, with her cleverness, maybe she also knows the ambiguity between Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong, and seeing that Qin Zhong is also here today, she naturally has to pay attention.
Xue Baobao was secretly yy Jia Baoyu's intricate relationship between the three of them, and a little girl who had just left her head hurriedly ran over and stood far away gesturing at her.
Xue Baobao got up and walked over, the little girl ran out of breath, and said in a low voice, "Girl, Laiping from the front yard called me to inform the girl, saying that the uncle had eaten some wine and was no longer with Qin Xiaoye, so that the girl could be relieved."
Laiping is Xue Baobao's little guy who followed Xue Pan.
In the original work, the "friendship" between Jia Baoyu and Qin Zhong is a very heavy page.
Xue Baobao remembered that in the original book, Xue Pan was also living in Jiafu's family school at this time, and there was still some fragrant pity and jade love, it was a mess.
Xue Baobao just saw Jia Baoyu drilling into the backyard, and there were only Xue Pan and Qin Zhong left in front of him, so he naturally had to guard against it, so he specially told Lai Ping to pay attention to the movement and tell her at any time.
At this time, after listening to the little girl's advice, she couldn't help asking, "Uncle is not with Master Qin, what about Master Qin?" Uncle didn't accompany the guests? ”
It stands to reason that even if Jia Baoyu goes, Xue Pan should do his best to be a landlord and talk to the two.
The little girl didn't know, "Laiping only said this, the girl wants to know, and the slave will ask again."
Xue Baochai nodded, "The second master of Jiafu also went to the front yard, let the uncle accompany him wholeheartedly, and he can't be contemptuous."
Most of the courtyards of the Xue family are sealed, rockeries and flowing water, if that Bao Er Ye falls and floods in their house, their family can't afford to pay for it.
