[There will be another update in the evening]

Then it was April 28th.

Jiao Shun didn't mention it since he was on duty, but said that the Rongguo Mansion had become lively early in the morning.

First Daiyu and three spring ladies rushed to Baoyu's courtyard, and then Baochai and Xiangyun also arrived, surrounded by fat and thin birds, making a noise of birds and orioles singing.

Jia Baoyu was among them, and his spirit, which had been depressed for many days, was suddenly lifted up. He jumped up and down in the makeup array with joy, saying a few words about this and flirting a few words about that, just like a monkey without hair.

Seeing this scene, Lin Daiyu felt a little sour in her heart and was about to make some sarcastic remarks. She might as well lead Jia Lan over here too.

Jia Lan went to pay birthdays to his uncle, while Li Wan was pulled over by his sisters.

Tan Chun came closer and vaguely noticed that Li Wan's brows were different from the past. Upon closer inspection, they looked like dead trees blooming in spring. Not only was he refreshed, but his skin also had a smoother luster.

She couldn't help but wonder: "What good thing has happened to my sister-in-law? She suddenly looks a few years younger!"

After Tanchun discovered this, all the girls also noticed Li Wan's strange behavior and gathered around him to ask questions.

Facing this battle, Li Wan seemed to be panicking, so he tried to cover it up with a smile: "What good can I do? It's just that I haven't seen Langeer for many days, and now I feel happy when I see him."

Everyone knew that her whole mind was on Jia Lan, so they all believed in it, which made Li Wan easily pass this test.

While talking and laughing, Li Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the girls turned their attention back to Baoyu.

At this time, a little maid came in, Xun Qingwen whispered a few words, and Qingwen quietly left the hall.

When she got outside, she saw Yuchai waiting in the corridor holding a gift box. She tilted her chin to the corner and led the way to a secluded place.

"Go back and tell your father."

Seeing that there was no one around, Qingwen lowered her voice and whispered: "I happened to find out about Ming Yan's scandal yesterday when I was in Dongfu. I will make him look good in a few days!"

Yuchai was happy at first when he heard this, but then he frowned: "Isn't this different from what we agreed before? Didn't we say that when we find out about Mingyan, we will hand it over to our master?"

"I want to teach him a lesson. What's the difference between my action and your uncle Jiao's action?" Qingwen took the gift box from Yu Chuan and said without any doubt: "Go back and tell your father that he will wait for you."

Just wait and see."

With that said, he went back to the main room holding the gift.

Yuchai gritted his teeth angrily from behind, cursing inwardly that this cheap maid would be so arrogant if she really got her way. It was better before, but now she has raised her tail to the sky as soon as she became famous. She said strangely that apart from Baoyu, few people in this room thought of her well.

!

After spitting fiercely, the jade bracelet went away angrily.

However, neither of them noticed that there was a little maid hidden in the bushes next to her!

It turned out that this little maid's name was Si'er, and she was born on April 28th, just like Baoyu. Seeing that Baoyu's birthday was so bustling, but no one remembered her own birthday, she couldn't help feeling sorry for herself, so she

I found a quiet place to cry, but I didn't expect to hear Qingwen and Yuchuan's plot!

The four children walked out from behind the bushes and looked at the gods for a long time hesitantly. Thinking of the unprovoked scolding by Qingwen a few days ago, they stamped their feet and quietly went out to the front yard. They found

Where the servants are on duty.

Seeing her poking her head at the door, another servant came out to greet her and asked, "Sister, are you here to deliver a message for the second master, or do you have some errands of your own?"

Si'er swallowed, still looking inside and said: "I'm here to see Mingyan, he..."

"Looking for me?"

Halfway through the conversation, Mingyan also walked out. When she saw it was the little maid Si'er, she said with a playful smile: "Sister, are you pregnant this time and want to take her home, or are you wearing makeup and want us to buy it?"

Mingyan is actually older than Si'er, so the so-called "sister" is just an honorific.

"Thank you for still having the heart to joke!"

Si'er said with a straight face and glanced at the boy who came out first.

When Mingyan saw this, she pushed the young man and cursed: "You have no eyesight, why don't you go back and rest?"

When the boy returned to the house, he and Si'er walked seven or eight steps outside, and then he asked curiously: "What did sister mean by that just now?"

"What else could it mean?"

Si'er sneered: "You are in trouble, but you don't even know it yet!"

Mingyan was taken aback and quickly asked: "Good sister, what's the trouble? Please tell me more clearly!"

Si'er then repeated what he had heard. Mingyan was shocked and angry as she listened.

Mingyan was not surprised that Jiao Shun wanted to take revenge, but he never expected that Qingwen would collude with Jiao Shun both internally and externally.

This damn bitch!

If it weren't for my uncle's kindness, how could she be where she is now?!

Now that Jiao Shun has received some benefits, he actually wants to repay kindness with hatred. He really doesn't know whether to live or die!

Mingyan suppressed her anger and gave a deep salute to Si'er: "Good sister, I will remember this kindness. When you go back, be sure not to expose your mistakes. This will free up my time here and come up with a perfect plan!"

This was what Si'er was waiting for, so he left happily.

Mingyan, on the other hand, hurriedly went to find Lai Da for advice.

…………

Let’s go back and talk about Baoyu.

He was laughing and joking with his sisters when he suddenly saw Qingwen approaching with a gift box from outside, so he casually asked: "Who sent this?"

"It was sent by Uncle Jiao."

With just this sentence, Baoyu's face suddenly changed color, and he muttered angrily: "Most of them are from the private market of the Ministry of Industry. I have to go to the Laoshizi Handyman's Office every day. Don't I know how to buy it? Buy it.

Sorry?!"

Hearing his words full of resentment, the surrounding area suddenly became silent.

Li Wan wanted to offer some words of persuasion, but when he thought that this matter involved Jiao Shun, he inevitably felt a little guilty.

After a while, it was Xue Baochai who jumped out to smooth things over: "Brother Bao doesn't like to joke around. It wouldn't be embarrassing if word got out and there was a misunderstanding."

Before Baoyu could respond, Shi Xiangyun also clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Second brother has just been praised by the emperor, and he is planning to cook the rabbit to death?"

Although her words were meant to ridicule Baoyu, they actually disparaged Jiao Shun even more.

However, from the perspective of a group of rich and noble ladies, it is not considered an indiscriminate use of allusions.

At this time, Lin Daiyu saw the displeasure on Yingchun's face, and recalled the scene where Baoyu was flirting with flowers, and couldn't help but said: "He is doing it for your own good. Even if you don't thank him, you shouldn't be so yin and yang."

Unexpectedly, Baoyu jumped three feet high, cocked his neck and shouted: "This is for my good, and that is for my good! Have they asked me?! Instead of going to that place where flies and dogs live every day, I

I would rather die in a pure place, and it will be settled once and for all!"

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Tan Chun hurriedly spat a few times and advised: "On this happy day, what does the second brother say about life and death?!"

The other sisters also stepped forward to persuade Baoyu not to be angry.

Over there, Lin Daiyu had red circles in her eyes after hearing his roar. She turned her back and shouted: "Okay, okay, it turns out that we are hiding evil intentions for you in the past! In this case, I will leave you in the future.

Just stay further away!”

"you!"

Jia Baoyu had just been persuaded to sit down, but then he jumped up again and said anxiously: "I talked about them, but I didn't talk about you! Don't make mistakes and rely on others!"

After talking twice, it started to make trouble again.

Just as Li Wan was about to come forward to comfort him, he suddenly heard someone outside exaggerating: "Ouch~ I also told you to go to the old lady's place to listen to the story. I don't want there to be more stories here!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Wang Xifeng leading Ping'er in, smiling and grabbing Baoyu, and said to everyone: "It's supposed to be the right time to congratulate brother Bao on his good life this year, but the big flower hall was demolished and the little one we bought has been demolished."

The actor asked Dong Fu to cut off his beard again, so we will just save it until next year."

"I specially invited a few women storytellers. Although the scene is not comparable to that of a stage, the story is quite novel - it is about the anecdotes of a student from the Imperial College who traveled across the ocean to Europe!"

"Huh?"

Baoyu was stunned when he heard this.

"What's wrong?"

"That's a coincidence."

Baoyu smiled and said: "The imperial court is also discussing with a group of Western barbarians about trade and sending students to each other. If it is settled, a group of supervisors will really go to Europe to study."

Xichun, the youngest, heard this and couldn't help but wonder: "Second brother, what is an international student?"

"In the Tang Dynasty, some small foreign countries sent envoys to the dynasty, and they would deliberately leave some students behind to learn the system and culture of the Tang Dynasty. After they stayed in the Tang Dynasty for a few years, they could return to their homeland to take up important positions - and these people were called

For international students.”

"OK OK."

As soon as Jia Baoyu finished explaining, Wang Xifeng impatiently urged: "Stop talking about ancient times and come with me quickly. The old lady has been waiting for a long time."

Then everyone set off in small groups to rush to Jia Mu's side.

At first, Jia Baoyu walked side by side with Wang Xifeng and Li Wan at the front. After leaving the courtyard gate, he suddenly heard a familiar cough from behind, and his heart softened for a moment.

He randomly found an excuse and went to the back, and gave a deep salute to Lin Daiyu, who was still angry: "Good sister, I was wrong just now, please spare me this time."

As he said that, he explained with a playful smile: "You also know that I am most annoyed by the official career and economics, but it is Jiao... Brother Jiao who forces me to go to the Yamen every day to suffer. When I get angry, I will lose my temper. I will definitely not be angry with my sister.

mean."

Lin Daiyu raised her head and glanced at him, thinking that today was his birthday after all, and there was no need to get angry with him for an outsider, so she snorted coldly: "Humph, do you think I am willing to meddle in these nosy matters? It will only be two months later."

The master is about to come back. If these words reach his ears, will I still be able to enjoy your good fruits?!"

Jia Baoyu shivered first when he thought of his father.

When I thought about my father's reliance on Jiao Shun, my resentment dropped by 60 to 70%. I quickly smiled and said, "Good sister, I knew you were doing it for my own good."

"Hmph~ I'm just afraid that my good intentions will turn into a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Lin Daiyu snorted coldly again, then glanced at Yingchun in front of her, and said with a pun: "Then Jiao Shun is no better than an outsider, and I'm afraid he will be even less an outsider in the future. It's hard to say these things in public again!"

Although Jia Baoyu thought this was a bit strange, he couldn't think of a name for the moment, so he just said insincerely: "Today is my birthday, let's not mention him - let's go for a walk and listen to that new story with me."
