When Baochai learned that Yuanchun had issued the edict, he sighed inwardly. He couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed. Baochai didn't say anything else and quickly started preparing the dowry.
On Baoyu's side, after hearing the news, he just sat there blankly. After such a long time, he also knew in his heart that the matter with Daiyu was impossible. However, when the matter was not settled one day, he
Still holding on to hope for one day.
Now after hearing Yuanchun's edict and looking at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang who were very happy, he wisely did not say anything to dampen the mood.
Feeling that the laughter in the room was a bit boring, Jia Baoyu slowly left Jia Mu's house.
Seeing that Baoyu didn't cry, Jia Mu was relieved. She knew what Baoyu was thinking, but the Lin family was not in her control, and there was no way she could satisfy Baoyu's wishes.
Mingyan could not enter the inner courtyard, so she had to wait in the outer courtyard. While she was talking to the other boys, when she saw Baoyu coming out, she hurried over and waited on him carefully.
"Second Master, where are we going?"
Baoyu whispered: "Follow me to the Lin family."
Mingyan was startled and shook her head repeatedly, "Second Master, it's not that I don't want to go with you. Your Majesty has already issued an edict that you are going to get married to Second Grandma, so why are you going to the Lin family? The last few times I went,
The county boss hasn’t seen you either.”
Jia Baoyu felt very disappointed when he thought of the commotion at home. He didn't know what the commotion had to do with him.
"I'm just going to have a word with Sister Lin, and there won't be any trouble. If she says she can't see me, we'll come back."
Mingyan swallowed her saliva and asked uncertainly: "Second Master really didn't go to the Lin family to cause trouble."
"What are you talking about? If you say you don't want to go, I will go by myself." Baoyu was impatient and walked directly outside.
Mingyan looked at the inner courtyard, then at Baoyu's back, stamped her feet fiercely, and ran to Baoyu's side. He was Baoyu's personal servant and knew Baoyu's thoughts very well. He didn't trust Baoyu.
If he goes to the Lin family by himself, if he reveals an accident, the government will not spare him.
Daiyu is preparing things for Yingchun at home. Yingchun is her cousin, and the person she is marrying is a good friend of Wang Tingxuan, so she cannot make any mistakes here.
She is also worried about Yingchun's future life. Miao Zhonglei can treat Yingchun well for Wang Tingxuan's sake. What do his parents think of Yingchun, especially when the Jia family may ransack their homes.
The closer she behaves to Yingchun, the less the Miao family dares to bully Yingchun.
The maid carefully reported Baoyu's desire to see him.
"But he started making trouble again." Daiyu asked.
"Second Master Bao didn't make a fuss this time. He asked to see the county lord according to etiquette." The maids were also surprised by Baoyu's behavior.
Daiyu felt very strange after hearing the reports from the maids. If Baoyu hadn't made mischief when he saw her, Daiyuye would not have avoided seeing him.
"Forget it, take Baoyu to the living room. I'll go see him in a moment."
The maids led Baoyu to the living room. At that time, they were still a little worried that Baoyu would make a fuss and force his way into the inner courtyard again.
This time Baoyu really followed the maid to the living room honestly and sat there waiting for Daiyu.
The two cousins had not seen each other alone for several years. Baoyu looked at the beautiful Daiyu and felt slightly absent-minded.
After a long time, Baoyu came to his senses and said, "I thought my sister wouldn't see me this time either."
Daiyu also sighed and said, "If you weren't messing around, how could I not see you?"
Baoyu's face turned red. He himself didn't understand why he would get into trouble every time he saw Daiyu.
"Sister Lin, if I were to make progress and pass the Jinshi exam like my uncle, would you still treat me like this?"
Daiyu stared at Baoyu, not knowing how to tell him. The grievances between the Lin family and the Jia family were not a matter of him making progress or not. As long as she knew what her second aunt did to the Lin family, she would have nothing to do with him.
.
Now it is her greatest mercy not to anger him.
"Second brother, if you can ask this question, it means you have really grown up. But you also need to know that the relationship between the Lin family and the Jia family is not what it seems on the surface."
Jia Baoyu paused in his heart, and immediately realized that there were many things that he didn't know. He originally thought that the relationship with the Lin family was caused by a good relationship, and as long as he didn't care, it wouldn't matter.
Unfortunately, by the time he understood it, it was already too late.
"Sister issued an edict for me to get married to Sister Bao."
Daiyu didn't expect him to say this, so she responded: "I've heard about it."
Baoyu smiled bitterly, "I don't know. How does An Minhou treat you?"
Daiyu said with happy eyes: "Brother is very good to me."
Of course Baoyu saw Daiyu's eyes and felt bitter in his heart, "I feel relieved that he treats you well."
Daiyu looked at Jia Baoyu's leaving figure and felt that the shackles between her and Baoyu were broken.
When Baoyu came to Lin's house, some servants told Wang Tingxuan the news. In fact, every time Jia Baoyu came to Lin's house, he made a fuss. This time Daiyu decided to see him, and the servants did not dare to take responsibility, so they could only
Report to him.
Wang Tingxuan was also a little surprised by Jia Baoyu's performance. He was afraid of any accident and asked the guards to follow him. If there was an accident on the road, it was difficult for the Jia family to explain.
"What is my sister thinking?"
Daiyu was awakened and when she saw it was Wang Tingxuan, she said, "I always feel that Baoyu is different from before."
"After experiencing so many things, it's time for him to grow up." It's just too late.
Daiyu nodded and agreed with Wang Tingxuan's statement.
"I got the news you asked me to find out. Do you want to hear it?"
"Really, tell me quickly, what is the attitude of the Miao family's parents towards their second sister."
Wang Tingxuan said with a smile: "Don't worry. They were not willing at first. After all, the rumors about Yingchun were not good before. Zhonglei persuaded his parents and sent someone to inquire again. Fortunately, they knew the Jia family better.
I asked the servants of the big house to inquire. Yingchun has indeed changed a lot recently, and she has become more ladylike, and her temperament is soft. Zhonglei's parents are not picky. "
"That's great. What I'm most worried about is that they heard the rumors about the second sister and don't agree to the marriage. Even if they reluctantly agree, they won't treat the second sister sincerely."
In fact, Yingchun's character is just caused by lack of support, and it is not really like this. Just imagine, how can a person who is good at playing chess not have a gap in his heart?
Yingchun may not know what Jia Mu's plan is for her, but it is not a problem to see what Jia Mu wants her to be. During the three springs, even if she had a favored aunt like Aunt Zhao, Yingchun would not be like this
character.
Just look at her current performance and you will know that if she is not capable, it will be really difficult to make the servants of the Jia family obey.
