Chapter 368

[Don’t rush to read it yet, give me fifteen minutes to correct the typo - I will delete this sentence after the correction.]

Hengwuyuan.

Taking advantage of the refreshing morning, Xue Baochai was sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed to take care of the accounts. Suddenly he heard the bead curtain rustling. He knew that Shi Xiangyun must be here, so he raised his head and said, "Why did you get up so late today..."

Halfway through, Baochai saw Shi Xiangyunchai's slanted hair and yawning repeatedly. It was obvious that he had not slept well all night. Baochai put down the langhao pen in his hand and sighed: "Even if we want to help with these things, we are powerless, so why do you bother?"

Make things difficult for yourself."

Shi Xiangyun didn't answer. He walked up and sat behind Baochai. He put his haggard oval face on Baochai's shoulder, put his arm around Baochai's waist and muttered: "I'm usually said to be a big-hearted person, but now I see

It’s my sister who really can support the Prime Minister.”

Xue Baochai pinched her face with his backhand and said angrily: "If you want to call me hard-hearted, just say so."

Shi Xiangyun chuckled and regained some of his vitality. He was still lying on Xue Baochai's back and said softly: "Sister, please stop dishing out such troubles. Let's eat quickly and go see Sister Lin."

"You think I'm willing to take care of this?"

Xue Baochai sighed helplessly, but still followed her words and put away the account book.

The two had a simple breakfast and then rushed to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with Ying'er, Cuilu and others.

After seeing Fengyao Bridge and Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the distance, Shi Xiangyun suddenly pointed in front and said, "Hey, is that Brother Bao?"

Xue Baochai looked up and saw a familiar figure wandering in front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but if it wasn't Baoyu, who else could it be?

She immediately felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she would have just paid it off in the past. Now the two have discussed marriage, and Lin Daiyu has also chosen to take the initiative to avoid suspicion, but Baoyu is still wandering alone in front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion early in the morning...

However, Baochai's face did not show any signs of strangeness. Instead, he smiled and said, "What a coincidence - let's get there quickly, otherwise that idiot may not dare to come in in this life..."

As she said that, she was about to quicken her pace, but Shi Xiangyun suddenly reached out and grabbed her.

Xue Baochai turned around in confusion and saw something strange on Shi Xiangyun's face. He thought she was feeling unworthy for herself, so he smiled and said, "Am I the stingy person? They usually hang out together as brothers and sisters. When did I..."

"It's Brother Jiao."

Shi Xiangyun suddenly blushed and interrupted Baochai, half shy and half curious: "Why did he come to this garden again so early in the morning?"

Xue Baochai looked up again and found that there was indeed another burly figure beside Baoyu. Only then did she realize that she had expressed the wrong feelings, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She hurriedly used joking to cover up her inner emotions: "Why else?

Of course, there are people in this garden who are worried about her."

Shi Xiangyun was not that shameless at first, but when he saw Jiao Shun, he thought of the scene yesterday when he drove a rickshaw all over the yard, and his heart was sour and sweet. How could he hear these joking words?

At that moment, with a blushing face, she stepped forward to scratch Baochai's itch.

Not to mention the play between the little sisters.

But he said that Jiao Shun was originally going to be on duty at the Yamen today, but he was worried about Xing Xiuyan, so he simply asked his father to take a half-day leave and come to pick him up in person.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived in front of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he bumped into Jia Baoyu who was wandering in love.

Naturally, Jia Baoyu ran over because he heard that Lin Daiyu had fallen into the water and was worried. However, the two of them had been in a cold war for half a year. He hesitated outside for a quarter of an hour, unable to muster the courage to call the door.

When Leng Buding bumped into Jiao Shun, he didn't ask why, as if he had seen a savior, he stepped forward and handed over several bottles and cans, and said repeatedly: "Brother Jiao, give these things to Sister Lin for me." !”

After saying that, he bowed deeply and said, "Please!"

Then he turned around and ran away as fast as he could.

Watching his figure disappear quickly on the tree-lined path, Jiao Shun lowered his head to look at the things in his hands, shook his head slightly, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, the little maid came out and was startled when she saw that it was Jiao Shun, the foreigner. Jiao Shun said hurriedly: "I'm here to take Xiuyan home. Please go in and let me know."

After saying that, he gave the bottles and jars to the maid: "I just met Brother Bao outside, and he asked me to pass these things to you girls."

By now, the marriage between gold and jade has become a foregone conclusion, and he is not worried about any changes in it - on the contrary, if Baoyu asks about it in the future, it will not be good.

But the little maid subconsciously took the medicine bottle in her hand and was about to close the door. Halfway through, she realized something was wrong and hurriedly opened the door again. She said: "Master, please wait here for a moment. I will go in and report." .”

With that said, he turned around and flew back to the main room.

Here Jiao Shun was looking at the Xiang bamboos through the door, when he heard a voice coming from around the corner: "Brother Jiao."

Following the call, I saw Shi Xiangyun leading the way with a complicated expression, followed by the dignified and gentle Xue Baochai.

Walking closer, Xiangyun glanced at the direction Jia Baoyu left, and then looked at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. He opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly looked at Xue Baochai beside him, and finally changed the subject abruptly: "Listen What does Brother Jiao mean, Sister Xing actually stayed here last night? No wonder Sister Daolin always misses her."

She originally wanted to express her feelings about the matter between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, but because Xue Baochai was nearby, she endured it and did not speak.

Jiao Shun said with a smile: "When Xiuyan got married, Miss Lin went out of her way to give her a ride without avoiding suspicion. It can be said that a friend in need is a friend indeed."

Hearing that he called Xing Xiuyan's marriage to him a 'disaster', Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but laugh out loud, and immediately covered it up with the back of his hand, joking: "So, Sister Xing, this is a blessing in disguise, how can you know it's not a blessing?"

"Yes."

Baochai, who had been smiling implicitly by the side, suddenly interjected: "According to this, my sister is also blessed."

Only then did Shi Xiangyun realize that there was some ambiguity in his words, and couldn't help but blush. Just when he didn't know what to say, he saw Xing Xiuyan walking out of the hall surrounded by four maids. She left Jiao Shun and Xue Baochai behind to greet him, and took the initiative to take over. Xiangling took Xing Xiuyan's arm.

Xing Xiuyan didn't dare to say anything, she couldn't refuse, so she let her help her out of the courtyard. When she saw Jiao Shun outside the door, tenderness flashed in her eyes, but she couldn't show it in front of outsiders. He just held his belly and bent slightly and said, "Why are you here, sir? Aren't you going to be on duty at the Yamen today?"

Jiao Shun smiled and said, "I always want to see you back home safely before I can feel at ease."

With that said, he took over from Siqi on the other side.

All of a sudden, it was the host and the hostess who sandwiched the concubine's room between them.

When Shi Xiangyun saw Jiao Shun coming to help him, he wanted to avoid it, but he was worried that it would misunderstand Xing Xiuyan. After thinking for a while, he simply said to Xue Baochai: "Sister Bao, please go in and see Sister Lin first, and I will see Sister Xing off."

"

Watching this "family" that ordinary people thought was a bit weird, Baochai turned back and looked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The smile that originally hung on her lips faded away unconsciously. It took a long time before she got out.

Take a step inside.

When they followed Zicuckoo into the inner bedroom, they saw Lin Daiyu looking at the medicines given by Baoyu.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu suddenly said: "Sister Bao, please send these things back to him. Just say that I don't need them here and ask him not to send anything again in the future."

Xue Baochai was stunned when he heard this, and then hurriedly persuaded: "This is also his intention. You two brothers and sisters have been close since you were young. Why are you so angry now?"

"Haha~"

Lin Daiyu sneered and said without hesitation: "Sister, there is no need to pretend in front of me. I couldn't tolerate others, so naturally I don't expect others to tolerate me!"

It's interesting to say that because she had a deep affection for Jia Baoyu, she couldn't tolerate his flirting with others. However, she had no real feelings for Jiao Shun, and she didn't feel anything about his practice of taking concubines first and then taking concubines as well.

Something is wrong.

It can be seen that the deeper the love, the greater the responsibility.

Xue Baochai was startled again when he heard this. He sighed quietly for a long time, went up and sat next to Daiyu, and faced Sister Lin's scrutinizing eyes and said: "Now I know what it means to compare people's hearts with each other. If we change places, I'm afraid there may not be someone like my sister."

So upright."

As he spoke, he sighed again: "I know my sister is destined for me, but why can't I help myself? Regardless of whether my sister believes it or not, my mother and I were probably already moved to Zijin Street because of the gold bracelet.

, I will never compete with my sister for anything."

Lin Daiyu met her eyes for a long time, then shook her head and said: "What's the use of talking about this now? Now I just think that I recognized him for nothing - my sister will be one with him in the future, so why do I need to explain anymore?"

What she meant by this was to show that she would not forgive Jia Baoyu, and naturally would not get close to Jia Baoyu's future wife. Therefore, no matter how much Baochai explained, it was just unnecessary.

Faced with such straightforward words, Baochai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Now that things have happened, she feels more and more that this marriage is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and a pity to abandon.

…………

It was also early in the morning.

Li Wan took Suyun to Qiu Shuangzhai.

When she met Tanchun who had returned from sword practice, she got straight to the point and asked Tanchun to hand over his sword.

Tanchun naturally refused to agree. Although after the last sneak attack, it was probably impossible to hurt people with cold arrows, but with these things close by, at least he could still have a reminder and feel more secure.

At the moment, he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "Why did my sister-in-law suddenly take care of this? Our family is originally a soldier, and we have forgotten our roots by blindly relying on the literati. Besides, this book is also among the six arts of the gentleman. I am still thinking about it.

Once you've mastered it, I'll teach it to Lange'er and let him relax his muscles and muscles along with it."

Li Wan's face was as dark as water, and he said to Tanchun across the kang table: "Whether the third sister wants to inherit the ancestral business or relax her muscles and bones, I shouldn't have taken care of it, but yesterday there was a little maid in the peach blossom forest.

I picked this thing up on the road..."

With that said, he waved to Su Yun who was standing aside.

Su Yun hurriedly opened the box she had been holding, took out an arrow and handed it to Li Wan.

Li Wan took it with one hand, put it on the Kang table and pushed it in front of Tanchun: "This thing has a deep mark on the stone slab. Don't say that my sister accidentally dropped it there."

Only then did Jia Tanchun remember that because he was almost hit by Miaoyu, when he left in a panic, he had not recovered the arrow he shot at Jiao Shun, and he couldn't help but regret it.

When he was about to prevaricate, Li Wan pointed out the deep marks on the stone slab, and finally had to apologize and beg: "I was feeling itchy, so I shot an arrow at the edge of the forest. My dear sister-in-law, I won't dare to mess around again.

Just spare me this time."

"Hmph~"

Li Wan snorted coldly, but his expression softened a lot. He raised his hand and pointed at Tan Chun and said: "Although you are bold, I know how to advance and retreat. Who would have thought that you would do such a thing?"

Come? This time I will let go of the past, but you must hand over the bow, arrows and sword!"

Without waiting for Tanchun to argue, she continued: "At this time of year, people often play in the peach forest. Yesterday, Suyun saw Master Miaoyu going to pick peaches. I heard that Brother Jiao was also there... If

You shoot the arrow and catch someone coming out of the forest, but what should you do?!"

"Although my wife has lived in the garden now, I am still in charge of everything. How can I sit back and ignore such a thing? If you are unwilling to hand it over, I'm afraid I will have to ask my wife to make the decision."

Hearing this, Tanchun knew that the bow and arrow could not be saved, so he did the next best thing and wanted to keep the long sword.

Unexpectedly, Li Wan still shook his head and said that if Tanchun still wanted to practice swordsmanship, she could make the sword out of good wood and ensure that the weight was the same without worrying about hurting anyone. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Tanchun finally had no choice but to hand over all the weapons to Li Wan.

Seeing Li Wan return victoriously with those things, she was very discouraged when she suddenly saw Aunt Zhao flash out from under the diagonal and asked like a thief: "What did grandma want to see you for so early in the morning?"

"It has nothing to do with aunt!"

Jia Tanchun glanced at her angrily and said as he walked out: "I'm going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to visit Sister Lin. If my aunt has nothing serious to do, she should go back early."

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao caught up from behind, grabbed her and asked her again in a lowered voice: "Are the things Suyun was holding in her hand just now the ones you planned to use on Uncle Jiao?"

"So what?"

Tanchun saw that the maids were all far away, so he gritted his teeth and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I just missed shooting that evil thief to death yesterday!"

Aunt Zhao was startled, but she thought clearly that the almost meaning was that she didn't cum, otherwise the whole family would have known about such a big thing.

At the moment, he ignored this and murmured to himself: "Just now something like this happened, and she... it was indeed her that night!"

"What is she? What did my aunt say? Is there anything wrong with my sister-in-law?"

Tanchun only vaguely listened to half of it, and seeing that Aunt Zhao was half surprised and half gnashing her teeth, he couldn't help but become suspicious.

"without!"

Aunt Zhao hurriedly turned away from her and said in a disguised manner: "I am just going to discuss the Qiao Qiao Festival with grandma. Just go to your Xiaoxiang Pavilion."

With that said, he left Jia Tanchun behind and left happily.

How could Jia Tanchun believe her words like this?
