Chapter 458
Lin Daiyu is so arrogant, how can she be willing to be a concubine?
The reason why I agreed to Xing Xiuyan in the first place was just to express gratitude for Sister Xing's kindness, but in fact I never regarded it as my retreat.
It was Xue Baoqin's fantasy of rafting on the sea that made her yearn for it unconsciously. Of course, she also knew that she could not be her own master, so this so-called fantasy was destined to be just a delusion.
In short, after transferring this 'road' to Baoqin, Daiyu felt a lot more relaxed. The only thing that was a little tangled was that she felt a little sorry for Shi Xiangyun.
But as she said before, if the Laiwang couple wanted their son to join the family, not to mention Shi Xiangyun, I am afraid that even Jiao Shun himself would have no room to refuse.
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu subconsciously searched for Shi Xiangyun in the crowd, but found nothing. She asked Tanchun and Yingchun, but they didn't know where Xiangyun had gone.
Tan Chunyin went to Baochai to inquire, but Xue Baochai covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you will know after a while."
Hearing that there must be an allusion here, the girls were about to surround her when they heard the jingling of the bells in front of her. Looking up, they saw Shi Xiangyun riding a bicycle leading the way, followed by a rickshaw following step by step.
Everyone suddenly realized that this girl was going to 'present a treasure' to the old lady.
But when the old lady heard about the origin of this thing and knew that Baoyu had a hand in it, she first looked around it with her cane. She was amazed and invited Grandma Liu to ride with her.
How dare Grandma Liu to overstep her bounds?
He hurriedly shook his head and rattled, saying that he was afraid of losing his life and boasting about his legs and feet.
The old lady got on the rickshaw with the support of Yuanyang and Jia Baoyu. The maid who was pulling the rickshaw was about to step forward, but was overtaken by Jia Baoyu, who wanted to fulfill her filial duty.
Because there was a word "filial piety" in front of him, neither the old lady nor Mrs. Wang could stop him. Seeing that it was not very difficult for him to pull him up, they had no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
Once on the road again, the old lady suddenly felt that her field of vision had broadened a lot. It wasn't that the rickshaw was high, but that she didn't have to worry about her feet and could naturally look around.
As soon as I looked around, I found a house in the forest. The old lady pointed at it and asked, "Where is that?"
Someone on the left and right recognized it and hurriedly replied: "If I go back to our ancestors, that's the Cuicui Temple."
"Chu Cui'an?"
After hearing this, the old lady turned her eyes to Mrs. Wang behind her.
Mrs. Wang immediately took a few steps forward, keeping pace with the slow-moving rickshaw, and said with a smile: "Of the temples in the courtyard, this one is the most quiet, and the presiding teacher in the temple is also a master of Buddhism."
Hearing that the host had been re-invited according to her instructions, Jia Mu nodded and said: "Then let's go for a walk, have a rest and ask for two cups of tea."
After hearing this, Baoyu suddenly stopped hesitantly.
When the strong woman who had been following him saw this, she grabbed the handle of the car and said, "Second Master, are you tired? Let your slaves pull you."
Jia Baoyu didn't comment, but gave up his position with waning interest.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly ordered Caixia, and Caiyun came forward to ask for help, give her water and rub her shoulders.
And she herself looked up at the temple in the mountains, unconsciously feeling a little emotional about the "animal" scene. She subconsciously glanced back and saw Jiao Shunzheng and Xue Biao chatting leisurely behind them, looking leisurely and thoughtful.
Not angry and self-defeating, it has changed a lot compared to his own impression.
He really complied with the saying of "relocating Qi and nourishing body".
Looking at the current situation, who would have thought that he would have hidden such wolfish ambitions?!
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
Just as he was gritting his teeth secretly, Aunt Xue's tight voice suddenly came from beside him.
Last time, Aunt Xue mistakenly thought that the affair between herself and Jiao Shun had been noticed by Mrs. Wang. She wanted to tell Jiao Shun that she had brought a smart sword to cut off the love thread, but she was disturbed by the "Poetry and Painting"
There was nothing that should be said about my emotions, but they became more involved with each other.
Fortunately, Mrs. Wang never mentioned the matter again, and she seemed to have no intention of pursuing it further, so she pretended like nothing happened.
However, today my sister kept looking at Jiao Shun, and her expression was very strange. This made her panic, fearing that something bad would happen.
Mrs. Pian Wang just thought that she had known about Jiao Shun's wild ambitions for a long time. She was so embarrassed and confused that she wanted to find a way to vent her anger. So after a moment's hesitation, she whispered: "Last time, I took shelter from the rain in this temple.
At that time, I found that the jade bracelet was actually worn... I was actually wearing those clothes, this dog really thought it was crazy!"
She was too embarrassed to state it directly, so she became vague in the middle of the sentence.
Aunt Xue was confused after hearing this, and subconsciously asked: "What clothes is Yuchai wearing? Is it because the regulations have been violated?"
After saying that, I felt something was wrong. Even if the clothing regulations were violated, what does it have to do with Mrs. Wang?
Mrs. Wang looked around, pulled her to the side of the road and said through gritted teeth: "What other clothes could they be? Of course they are the ones you gave me back then! Even if you wear them underneath... Bah~ It's a shame that he can actually make them!"
She raised her hand and made some gestures on her body. Thinking of the scene at that time and the fantasy derived from it, she couldn't help but spit in disgust.
Aunt Xue's face suddenly turned red, but she misunderstood what Mrs. Wang wanted to express. She only thought that Jiao Shun's move was directed at herself. She felt ashamed, ashamed, flustered and annoyed for a while, and silently said "'
"Amitabha" has never stopped the throbbing in my heart.
Hiding the undulating mountains, he asked in a trembling voice: "This, this...has anyone seen it?!"
"That's not true."
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "You didn't expect that he would dare to be so wild, right? If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have stopped him when I wanted to drive him out of the house!"
Aunt Xue was startled, and quickly grabbed Mrs. Wang's hand and whispered timidly: "Sister, there is no need to be like this, he, he may not have any malicious intentions..."
As he spoke, his face became increasingly hot.
"Isn't this considered malicious?!"
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth angrily and sneered, and asked dissatisfiedly: "What on earth do you think? Even if you are like this, you still want to speak for that little thief. Could it be Baoqin's problem, just..."
"Mrs., ma'am!"
The two sisters were chatting with each other again when Caixia hurriedly came back and said repeatedly: "The old lady has already arrived at the temple gate. I just asked about my wife!"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she glared at her sister with hatred, turned around, and walked quickly towards Huancui'an.
Aunt Xue breathed a sigh of relief at first, then grimaced, thinking that now that she lived with her sister, she could hide from her on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the fifteenth, and she was afraid that sooner or later she would have to face her questioning.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh again and again.
She 'understood' that her sister was also worried that she would go astray and ruin the reputation of the Xue Wang family, so she was so angry, but...
How could I let go of Chang Qing's infatuation now?!
Thinking of the wood carvings, poems and paintings she had collected, Aunt Xue couldn't help but excuse Jiao Shun, thinking that he must be obsessed with her, so she managed to find those inner clothes and do something really cool...
…
And when she thought that Jiao Shun probably used the jade bracelet as his substitute, Aunt Xue felt as if her whole body was on fire, and she felt so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.
After thinking about it for a while, she finally came to her senses and became troubled by the predicament in front of her again.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Just now he saw his aunt dragging his mother to the side of the road to talk. Xue Baochai didn't think anything of it at first, but it seemed that her aunt had left in anger, and her mother looked lost, so she hurriedly sent her sisters away and went to find her alone.
She stepped forward and hugged Aunt Xue's arm, and whispered: "If you encounter any difficulties, you might as well tell your daughter, so that your daughter can help her mother solve the problem."
"Alas~"
Aunt Xue patted the back of Baochai's hand with shame, shook her head and said: "It's nothing, I just had a few arguments with your aunt over some trivial matters. I will explain to the old lady after I send her away."
To be honest, she has actually been avoiding Baochai recently, because every time she sees this well-behaved and sensible daughter, she can't help but ask herself in shame: Wang Yunyao, Wang Yunyao, how could you be so depraved? Have you forgotten that you are already a wife?
How can a mother get entangled with a young man? We must not continue like this!
But every time it was late at night, when everyone was alone and unable to sleep, Aunt Xue couldn't help herself. She took out the wood carvings, poems and paintings, held them in her heart, and thought about every bit of her relationship with Jiao Shun.
But when Baochai saw her mother's face looking bitter, how could she believe that she and her aunt were just arguing?
But seeing that her mother didn't want to say it clearly, she had to pretend to be ignorant and said with a smile: "I don't think it's a big deal. Mom goes back to apologize to my aunt. How can she still argue with you?"
Aunt Xue nodded in agreement, and the two of them entered the Cucui Nunnery with their own concerns.
At that time, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng were surrounding the newly arrived Master Yin, talking about Buddhist scriptures.
Aunt Xue was too shy to face her daughter, so she pretended to be interested and joined in.
Xue Baochai stared at her mother from behind for a long time, feeling really uneasy. She secretly wondered what was the reason for the rift between her mother and her aunt?
Could it be that……
Is it because of his marriage to Baoyu?
But the two of them had tried their best to promote this matter. Even if the mother had some relapses recently, there was no possibility of changing it after receiving the imperial edict to confer marriage.
But if it’s not for this, then why?
After thinking about it, Baochai's eyes unconsciously fell on Wang Xifeng. Although Sister Feng had been hiding it very well recently, how could she hide her hidden hostility from her eyes and ears?
Even as to why this hostility arose and how to deal with it, she already had an idea, but it was just because she wasn't married yet, so she didn't do it for the time being.
Could it be...
What kind of influence did Sister Feng exert on her aunt, which caused the estrangement between the two sisters?
When Xue Baochai thought of this possibility, he paid more and more attention to it.
After all, if this is the case, it will affect whether she can gain a foothold in Rongguo Mansion after she gets married.
But how did Sister Feng do it?
According to Baochai's secret analysis, his aunt should be on his side [Baoyu]...
No matter how smart Xue Baochai was, how could Xue Baochai guess that the reason for the dispute between his mother and Mrs. Wang was because of Jiao Shun, who was unable to fight with eight poles?
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't figure it out, and the more she couldn't figure it out, the more uneasy she felt.
At this time, Xiren suddenly came over and whispered: "Girl, Second Master Bao seems to have something wrong. If you have time, you might as well go over and enlighten him."
If it had been in the past, Xiren would have taken care of such a thing.
But now that it is a foregone conclusion that Xue Baochai will take over Yihongyuan, she will step up her efforts to move closer to the organization.
Does Xue Baochai still care about Baoyu at this time?
Just as he was about to decline, he suddenly thought that he might be able to get some news from Jia Baoyu, so he quickly changed his mind and said, "Where is Brother Bao? Please lead me over and have a look."
"It's in the open space behind the temple."
As Xiren said this, he led Xue Baochai around to the back of the temple.
Under the red plum tree behind the temple, Jia Baoyu found three sticks of sandalwood from nowhere, lit them, stuck them on the ground and muttered something.
Xue Baochai subconsciously stopped and listened, and heard him mutter something, as if he was asking Miaoyu for guidance.
Baochai couldn't help but sigh secretly, thinking that he didn't expect him to sink so deep. He should be more careful in the future and never let him come into contact with these Buddhist principles.
With that said, he was about to step forward to express his condolences, when he suddenly heard Baoyu change his subject: "I only ask for a ally in wood and stone, why would the emperor give me a good marriage? Even though Sister Bao is good in every way, in my heart she is still the best."
Not half as good as Sister Lin!
"I, I now have the same intention as you. I want to take Sister Lin out of these thousands of shackles and go to a pure place that no one knows! But, how can I let go of my wife and old lady? Besides, Sister Lin can't
Please pay attention to me, so that I can’t say anything from the bottom of my heart..."
Hearing this, the smile that originally appeared on Baochai's face turned into frost.
Jia Baoyu didn't like this marriage, and she already knew it.
Jia Baoyu's feelings for Lin Daiyu are still lingering, and her heart is like a mirror.
For the sake of the overall situation of the Xue family, she can endure all these.
But no matter how ‘understanding’ I am, I still can’t stand being humiliated face to face over and over again!
What's more, last time I had Xiangyun traveling with me, and now I have Xiren as my witness...
"Hmph~!"
She gritted her silver teeth, but still couldn't hold back the resentment in her heart. Instead of leaving quietly like last time, she snorted heavily until Jia Baoyu turned around in shock and looked at him coldly again.
Then he turned around and walked away.
"This this……"
Jia Baoyu was also panicked for a moment, looking at the attacker half for help and half confused: "Why is Sister Bao here?"
"this……"
Xiren was also in a panic at this time, and said without thinking: "Miss Bao just saw that you were not in the courtyard, so she came here to find you. Who would have thought..."
After saying that, he hurriedly urged: "Second Master, why don't you hurry up and catch up and give me some advice!"
Jia Baoyu woke up from a dream and hurriedly chased after him.
However, after only chasing seven or eight steps, he stopped hesitantly, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then suddenly paused and said angrily: "If this person is annoyed, I want to coax him, and if that person is annoyed, I want me to coax him, but why is it that no one follows suit?"
Mine? Let her go!"
