Outside the gate of Qingtang thatched cottage.

The novels walked down the steps laughing and joking. Bao Qin wanted to inform Lin Daiyu of his decision and Jiao Shun's reaction, so he tried to find an excuse to avoid the sisters.

But before Bao Qin could speak, Baochai patted Shi Xiangyun's hand and signaled her to let go of him for the time being. Then he looked back at Baoyu and said, "Where is Xiren? I have something to entrust to her first."

Hearing this, Xiren from Xixiali hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Girl, just give me whatever you want."

"It's a bit hard to talk about this."

Xue Baochai said that it was not easy to speak, but he had a calm and generous look on his face. He smiled at everyone and said, "How about you play with yourselves first, and Xiren and I will come find you later."

Since everyone knew that she would become Xiren's mistress in a few months, it was not surprising that she had some private words to give at this time, so everyone just joked a few words.

Today's protagonists are Baochai and Baoqin sisters. Since Baochai has left the army, Baoqin naturally can't walk alone anymore, so she can only cheer up and go to Luxue Temple with everyone laughing and playing.

After watching everyone go away, only Ying'er and Xiren were left. The smile on Baochai's face faded a bit, and he sighed: "Why did such a thing happen?"

Xiren was already worried, fearing that this series of events would affect his impression in the eyes of his future mistress. After hearing Baochai's words, he hurriedly smiled apologetically and tried to explain.

But Baochai raised his hand to stop her, shook his head and said, "I'm not keeping you here to pursue anything. What's past is past. Looking carefully from now on - is there any ready-made sacrificial object in Yihongyuan?"

"Of course there is."

Xiren nodded quickly and suddenly said: "Isn't the girl going to pay homage to Qiu Wen?"

Xue Baochai nodded slightly, and then asked: "I just heard what Sister Zhu said, and no one except Baoyu came to express condolences to them?"

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

"this……"

Xi Ren cautiously reminded: "It was later found out that she was a habitual criminal. The master said that she would kill herself if she had done many unjust things. The wife also said that she deserved to die, but it was a pity that Zhui'er was implicated, so..."

Naturally, no one dared to touch upon the matter that Jia Zheng and Wang had jointly concluded. However, Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu, who had the courage to act independently, did not like Qiu Wen's personality.

In this way, what goes up and down the road has effect, and naturally no one cares about Qiu Wen's behind-the-scenes affairs.

Baochai nodded again and immediately urged: "Let's go, don't keep everyone waiting for too long."

As he spoke, he took steps towards Yihongyuan unswervingly.

Xi Ren and Ying'er followed closely behind.

When they arrived at Yihong Courtyard, Xiren arranged for everyone to make two temporary memorial tablets and set them up in the living room of the west wing. He also dug out some ingots and paper money from somewhere and took a brazier to burn them.

In the light of the fire, Xue Baochai solemnly lit the sandalwood, first paid homage to Zhui'er who died unjustly, and then muttered a prayer in front of Qiu Wen's tablet.

Finally, he shook his head and sighed, turned around and walked out of the west wing.

Xiren took a few steps back and ordered the maids to tidy up the mourning hall to prevent Baoyu from getting hurt, and then he quickly chased after him.

The little maids came in and looked at the incense sticks. They thought that there were no girls in the courtyard to ask questions, but only Miss Bao still had this incense. They couldn't help but praise Baochai for being kind and benevolent. From now on, she will be the master of the house. It's really a family affair.

The destiny of the whole house.

But when Baochai hurried to Luxue'an, he saw everyone gathered around the round table and already playing Three Kingdoms. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and said with a smile: "I thought there must be some elegant discussion among the guests."

"This is easy to handle!"

Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and suggested: "If the loser writes a poem based on the story of the Three Kingdoms, wouldn't it be appreciated by both refined and popular people?"

Tanchun asked: "What if the 'foreign spy' wins?"

Shi Xiangyun pretended to stroke his beard and sighed: "The mountains and rivers have been destroyed and life has been reduced to ashes. Let's all sing a sad song."

Everyone burst out laughing.

But Bao Qin took advantage of the situation and stood up with a smile: "Since there is a punishment, then I have to take it seriously - Sister Lin, let's go out for a walk, so we can travel lightly."

The so-called "going for a walk" actually means going to the toilet. Everyone knew that she had walked, sat and slept in the same place before, so they didn't find it strange.

Only Shi Xiangyun urged them to go back quickly.

When they got outside, Bao Qin immediately stepped back and said, "Sister, I told Brother Jiao about your matter two days ago, and he promised to communicate with his godmother soon."

Lin Daiyu's expression changed immediately after hearing this, and she stamped her feet and said, "I told you that you don't have to worry about it, so why are you still... ugh! I have never had any feelings for a man or a woman towards Brother Jiao, and haven't you already confirmed his feelings?"

Bao Qin chuckled, waved his hands indifferently and said: "Brother Jiao and I have only met a few times. How can there be so many sworn alliances stronger than gold for no reason? Looking back and thinking about it carefully, it is probably because I have a little bit of beauty.

, and took the initiative to send it to my door, so Brother Jiao just accepted it."

Seeing Jiao Shun choose Daiyu earlier, Baoqin could not help but feel a bit sour in her heart.

But she is free and smart after all. After jumping out of the emotional filter, she quickly figured out the cause and effect - of course, this does not mean that she has any opinions on Jiao Shun. After all, there are many things about three wives and four concubines in big houses these days.

Okay, and it’s natural for men to be lustful, so why should they be demanding?

Lin Daiyu heard what she said and knew that this was probably the case, but...

"alright!"

Bao Qin stopped her words and said decisively: "This matter has been decided. Sister just waits for the good news from Brother Jiao."

With that said, regardless of whether Lin Daiyu answered or not, she ran back to Luxue'an.

Lin Daiyu chased her all the way but couldn't catch up. When she got to the house and faced everyone, she couldn't speak, so she had to return to her original position. The subsequent card game was full of mistakes, and even the poems she was punished for were of poor quality.

Everyone was surprised when they saw this, but she could only explain that it was due to occasional discomfort.

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not, but Jia Tanchun is secretly wary. She has already regarded Lin Daiyu as her number one enemy, but she has never understood Lin Daiyu's thoughts until now.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was not in her right mind now, she deliberately wanted to make a few insinuations, but she was afraid that she might accidentally expose her affair and wake up Daiyu, thus ending up in a cocoon.

She was in a dilemma when Xichun, who was standing next to her, pestered Li Wan and kept asking about Miaoyu's situation. Li Wan was not annoyed yet, but Tanchun became impatient and scolded angrily: "Wait until next time, Sister Feng."

When we go again, the fourth sister will go and take a look, won't we understand everything?"

Xichun was speechless for a moment. Tanchun thought that he could be quiet for a while, and Ansheng was thinking about how to test Lin Daiyu. He didn't want to hear Xichun say again: "I'll do it with the eldest sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law is in such a situation now, and I don't dare to taint her."

Tanchun couldn't help but look at each other sideways, thinking that no wonder Sister-in-law Zhen said that she was 'a cold-hearted person with a cold mouth and a cruel heart.' Although it was inevitable for everyone to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune in the world, it was inevitable for people like the fourth sister to declare it so nakedly.

, but I’m afraid it’s the only one in the Grand View Garden!

At this time, Baoyu was "accidentally killed" by Daiyu, who was also a loyal minister. He angrily turned his identity card over and slapped it on the table. He wanted to have a few words with Lin Daiyu, but he was afraid that she did this on purpose.

As a last resort, he said he wanted to go out for a walk.

But when he went out for a walk, he meant it literally.

While he was wandering around outside, Xiren caught up from behind, put a cloak on him, and asked quietly: "Do you know what Miss Bao did?"

"What did you do?"

Baoyu asked casually, half interested.

"She went to pay homage to Zhui'er and Qiu Wen in Yihong Courtyard!"

Xiren said: "She originally asked us to hide it from you because she was afraid that you would mention it in front of the sisters and make you feel uncomfortable. But there are a few fuel-efficient lamps in our courtyard. How can I live there in such a restrained manner?"

They? It's better for me to tell you first, lest anyone offer the treasure secretly without getting it right."

"She, she went to pay homage to Qiu Wen?"
