Although Baochai is more knowledgeable than her peers, she is still a boudoir girl.
As soon as he turned his back and walked a short distance, his face turned red.
She never imagined that Jia Baoyu would hide in the house and do such a thing.
How old is he...
Among men and women of this age group, women grow much faster than men, so in Baochai's eyes, Jia Baoyu, who is two years younger than her, can only be regarded as a half-grown child!
Moreover, I have observed Jia Baoyu's character on a daily basis, and it is indeed somewhat elegant and refined. He does not look like a prodigal son. How could he do such a thing?
Baochai didn't have to doubt it at all, she knew that Jia Baoyu was hiding in the room just now and must have done something shameless with the maid!
His panicked voice, look, abnormal flush on his face, and crooked clothes...
With these flaws, any teenager who is not too stupid, let alone her, can probably see something fishy.
No wonder, since it was said to be changing clothes, why didn't Xiren go in, but stayed outside?
I don’t know whether Xi Ren was like me and accidentally ran into him and hid, or they had discussed it and it was Xi Ren’s turn to come out and guard the door...
If this is the case, it is so ridiculous for Brother Bao at such a young age that Baochai doesn’t even dare to think about it!
Even a ridiculous person like her brother only started to indulge in the past two years. Speaking of which, he was two years later than Jia Baoyu.
I still don’t know how long Brother Bao has been acting like this...
Forcibly throwing away these evil thoughts, Baochai took a deep breath, looked back at Ying'er who was also thinking thoughtfully, then stopped and sternly warned: "Just take what happened just now and treat it as nothing."
I didn’t see it, you know.”
Ying'er was just suspicious at first, but after listening to Baochai's instructions, she knew that the matter might not be simple, so she nodded quickly.
Baochai turned around, glanced in the direction of Jia Baoyu's house, and sighed slightly in her heart.
Brother Bao didn't have much ambition to study and make progress, and now he is involved in sex and sensuality at a young age. If his body is damaged, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to bear the high hopes that his aunt and uncle have placed on him in the future.
His family's situation is like this. If there is no successor after his aunt, I am afraid that sooner or later, such a huge family fortune will not be able to be preserved...
Although Baochai has only been here for half a year, he has already understood the situation in the Rongguo Mansion. Once Jia Baoyu cannot inherit Jia Zheng's ambition, the family property should be returned to their big house sooner or later.
There is also Jia Lan, but unfortunately he is too young. With the current growth situation of the second brother Lian, he does not pose any threat at all.
Baochai secretly thought about the inside story of Jia's family, but she heard Ying'er call out, "Girl, Second Master Lian..."
Baochai looked up and found that Jia Lian was standing on the roadside in front of him at some point. Maybe he saw her coming and was standing there smiling at her.
Baochai didn't dare to neglect him, so he walked quickly and said hello: "I've met the second brother Lian."
"Hello, sister Baochai, where are you from?"
"Go and see Brother Bao."
"Baoyu, what happened to him?"
"he……"
Baochai was inexplicably speechless. He recalled Jia Baoyu's panicked look before, and then looked at Jia Lian, who was in front of him with extraordinary demeanor and calmness. He shook his head inwardly and thought to himself, these two people are not in the same realm at all, so why should they?
In comparison, just now I was worrying about them out of my own wishful thinking.
"He's fine. Maybe he'll be here soon. Brother Lian is also here to accompany the old lady to enjoy the show?"
Baochai decisively turned away the conversation and asked a question.
Jia Lian didn't care and nodded, "I just went to see my father. Come on, let's go there together."
Baochai agreed, intending to let Jia Lian go first, but Jia Lian seemed to be very polite and stood with a smile, gesturing for her to go first.
Baochai couldn't argue with Jia Lian, so he had no choice but to act as he was told.
Then, she always felt that Jia Lian seemed to be looking at her from behind, but when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, it was clear that Jia Lian was just walking behind her, four or five steps away from her. This was already within a very regulated range, but it was not
I don't know why, even with her calm mind, she always felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to stop several times and let Jia Lian go ahead.
After finally walking to the corridor on the side of the flower hall, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and bowed lightly to Jia Lian, then called Ying'er behind Jia Lian, who seemed to be in a daze, and went in.
Seeing Baochai's master and servant disappear through the door, Jia Lian withdrew his gaze.
Unlike the little Lolita Daiyu, Baochai has grown slim and graceful.
It's a pity that as her cousin-in-law, there seems to be no opportunity to get close to him, so I can't help but feel regretful.
…
Jia Mu's large flower hall has been newly decorated.
It was originally a large room topped by seven or eight huge beams. It was open on all sides and usually separated by screens, trellises, etc., and could hold at least hundreds of pots of large and small flowers.
At this time, the various flowers, screens and other objects were temporarily moved away, and all the front doors were opened, and it became an excellent place to watch a play.
Because it was already dark, the ladies had taken down all the windows that blocked the view and replaced them with bright red lanterns, illuminating the inside and outside of the large flower hall as if it were daytime.
Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and other female relatives sat in the flower hall.
Jia Zhen led the male members of the family who came, and seven or eight separate seats were set up in the spacious corridor in front.
Although there were many people inside and outside, because Wang Xifeng and others had made proper arrangements and everyone in the Jia family was observing etiquette, everything was in order and there was no sense of clutter at all.
As Jia Lian walked into the front corridor, a group of Jia clan members hurriedly stood up to greet him, and hurriedly made a seat next to Jia Zhen available.
Jia Lian was not polite and sat down directly. Then Fang asked Jia Zhen: "Where is the master?"
"The master has been sitting here for a while. He doesn't feel well. He told me to take good care of this place and go out for now."
Jia Lian glanced around and saw that apart from him and Jia Zhen, there was only one Jia Huan in the fourth generation of the Jia family. The rest, Jia Rong, Jia Qin, Jia Yun, Jia Chang, etc., were all already Jia Huan.
He is the fifth generation of the family.
No wonder Jia Zheng can't sit here alone.
"My nephew would like to toast my uncle and wish him a prosperous official career. When I heard about this great happy event, my mother told me to kowtow in front of my uncle to congratulate me. However, my uncle was very busy with things, so my nephew kept
I didn't find a chance to come near. It's rare to see my uncle's golden face today. I would like my nephew to drink this glass of wine first..."
Jia Lian turned around and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy who was quite handsome. He had a flattering expression on his face, holding a glass of wine in his hands and mouthing such a string of words.
Seeing Jia Lian looking at him, the young man seemed to be afraid that Jia Lian would dislike him for being abrupt, so he hurriedly raised his hand to drink up the wine, and then looked at Jia Lian with a smile.
Jia Lian smiled slightly, picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and then said with a smile: "Yun'er, right?"
"It's my nephew! It's rare that my uncle still remembers his nephew, my former son..."
Jia Lian waved his hand to interrupt the flatterer and asked with a smile: "How is your mother doing lately?"
"Thank you uncle for remembering me. My mother is in better health now than before."
Jia Yun saw that Jia Lian didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so she wisely changed her strategy.
But Jia Lian knew about Jia Yun. Although there were many children in the Jia family, there were really not many who became weapons... Anyone who became a weapon, given the power of the Jia family in the court, would have already sought out foreign officials.
Therefore, most of the eight brothers who stayed in the capital were waiting to be supported by the Ning and Rong mansions.
This Jia Yun is naturally not a talented person. He has not studied much since he was a child, has no special skills, and is completely smooth.
It is understandable that he lost his father in his early years and his family was in a bad situation. Moreover, the original book states that when he grew up, he became sensible and very motivated. He worked everywhere to support his family and was very kind-hearted. Such a character
, among all the trash in the Jia family, it can be considered a useful material.
So when Jia Lian looked at his appearance, he knew what he wanted to do with him, because he said: "It was not easy for your mother to raise you by herself. Now that you have grown up, you should find a serious job to do."
, so as to help your mother reduce her burden.
If you have this intention, wait for me at Mapengwai in Nanyuan early tomorrow morning, and I will have an errand for you."
Jia Lian's words directly interrupted Jia Yun's train of thought. He never dreamed that Jia Lian could see through his plan at a glance.
At this time, he didn't think much and hurriedly put away the wine glass, then knelt down and bowed to Jia Lian: "My nephew, I would like to thank my uncle for his cultivation. I will do my best to repay my uncle's kindness..."
Jia Lian, however, had no intention of talking to him and simply asked him to go back and sit down.
Seeing that Jia Yun had easily received Jia Lian's favor, other people of the grass-roots generation started to think about it. Two of them even followed suit. Unfortunately, Jia Lian pretended not to hear what they meant.
Although the Bingma Division can arrange for people to eat everywhere, he does not want to bring anything in and ruin his reputation.
