Xiangyun is a founding hero, a noble historian, with a simple mind and always outspoken.
Daiyu was appointed by the new emperor and came from the Guilin family of the Qing Dynasty. She was extremely smart and did not bother to put on airs.
It is said that these two rich ladies are both the granddaughters that Jia Mu loves, so it would be easy for them to become close friends.
But in fact, that's not the case at all.
Of course, many people must think that the sentimental Lin Daiyu is petty, while the seemingly neurotic Shi Xiangyun does not care about it. The reason why the two of them are at odds is because Shi Xiangyun, who is "naturally heroic and magnanimous," looks down on Lin Daiyu's pretentiousness, meanness, and pranks.
Just a little temper.
But in fact, it’s not the same thing
.
Between Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu, it's not that Lin Daiyu is petty and dislikes Shi Xiangyun, but it's obvious that Shi Xiangyun dislikes Lin Daiyu even more.
Moreover, the careless Shi Xiangyun never concealed his behavior against Lin Daiyu, and even displayed his support for Xue Baochai at all times.
But the real reason for this is that Shi Xiangyun himself, who has a boyish personality, may not be aware of it.
All of this stems from the deepest jealousy in my heart that cannot be concealed.
Because there are three most important people in Shi Xiangyun's life, who deeply influence Shi Xiangyun's attitude towards Daiyu at all times.
But Shi Xiangyun himself couldn't realize it at all, and he didn't want to think about it at all.
.
The first person is Jia Mu.
Before Daiyu's arrival, Shi Xiangyun, who was an orphan, was Jia Mu's most beloved grandniece.
With the special care of Jia Mu, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion, Shi Xiangyun could live in Jia Mansion for several years.
Jia Mu transferred the most honest maid, Xiren, to serve Shi Xiangyun, so that Shi Xiangyun enjoyed meticulous care.
Jia Mu would give Shi Xiangyun the greatest protection, allowing her to live a carefree life in other people's homes and never suffer any grievances. This developed her lively, cheerful and straightforward character.
She can be with Baoyu's childhood sweetheart, she can wear men's clothes, and she can imitate the free and uninhibited ancient celebrities. All of this is because of Jia Mu's strong backing.
But since Jia Mu's granddaughter Daiyu came to the capital and moved into Rongguo Mansion, she instantly took over the "most cherished" position in Jia Mu's heart.
Not to mention grand-niece Shi Xiangyun, even Jia Mu’s serious granddaughter was ranked behind in welcoming the spring, visiting the spring, and appreciating the spring.
Because only Jia Mu sent someone to pick her up, Shi Xiangyun could come to Jia's house to stay for a while, so whether Jia Mu could always think of Xiangyun was very important to Shi Xiangyun, who was looking forward to coming to Jia's house every day.
So Jia Mu couldn't remember when she picked up Shi Xiangyun, so Xiangyun could only quietly tell Baoyu and ask him to remind Jia Mu from time to time to go to Shi's house to pick her up to play.
.
The second person is Baoyu.
Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu are similar in age. They have eaten at the same table and slept in the same room since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts who grew up together. They both love to play, so their relationship is naturally very close.
Shi Xiangyun was lively and clingy, and was very popular with Baoyu;
Baoyu has always liked to be low-key in front of girls, always giving in to girls, and naturally he is very fond of Xiangyun.
It was precisely with Baoyu's company that Shi Xiangyun's childhood spent in Jia's mansion was happier and more beautiful.
Therefore, Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu were often so close that they forgot about it. As soon as Shi Xiangyun entered Jia's house, he was eager to find Baoyu. Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were like best friends without any scruples.
It was also since Lin Daiyu came to Jia's house that Baoyu's heart was attracted to Lin Daiyu.
Shi Xiangyun could clearly feel that his position in Baoyu's heart was surpassed by Daiyu.
In the past, when Xiangyun and Baoyu were playing together, Baoyu would call "Sister Yun" at least one or two hundred times a day, but now, he calls "Sister Lin" from time to time.
Even Xiren, who once served Xiangyun, has a different attitude towards Xiangyun now than before.
Shi Xiangyun looks lively and cheerful, and is broad-minded, but this does not mean that she does not have a very sensitive and delicate heart like a girl.
It's just that she doesn't feel it herself. Even the words she speaks are laced with sour jealousy, and she doesn't even realize it.
She thought it was just "unconvinced".
.
Because there is a more important third person, that is Baochai.
When Shi Xiangyun was deeply trapped in the huge emptiness and loss of "losing the most reliable old lady" and "losing the most beloved brother Bao", Sister Bao made a shining appearance.
The smooth and sophisticated Sister Bao instantly filled the huge void in Shi Xiangyun's heart with her sisterly care.
This feeling made Shi Xiangyun feel that although she was robbed of her "good grandmother" and "good brother" by Lin Daiyu, fortunately she was valued and cared for by a "good sister".
Especially in Shi Xiangyun's eyes, Sister Bao was so perfect that she couldn't find any faults, which made Shi Xiangyun very "relieved".
So Shi Xiangyun tried his best to get closer to Baochai, always praising Baochai and belittling Daiyu.
This is her revenge for the loss of her "good grandmother" and "good brother":
You are all blind!
Do you regard Lin Daiyu as your treasure?
Bah! She is not even a fraction of the price of my perfect sister!
.
Daiyu was really innocent about what happened today.
Since returning to Rongguo Mansion, Daiyu has never taken the initiative to come to Baoyu's house.
If Baochai hadn't dragged her to see Baoyu today, Daiyu would have preferred to read in the room by herself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Baochai and Daiyu entered the house, Xiangyun also chased Baoyu into the house.
The four of them chatted a few words, and Baochai started the topic of persuading Baoyu to study and take the imperial examination.
Xiangyun immediately followed closely and sang harmoniously with Baochai.
Even Xiren, who was just a maid, saw that this was a rare opportunity to show his "virtuousness" and quickly stepped forward.
The three people sandwiched Baoyu in the middle. You said something to me, and you advised me. They were all very "mom-like".
Only Daiyu didn't want to get involved and sat aside for a while.
When he was getting up to leave, Baoyu said impatiently:
"I don't need irrelevant people to take care of my own affairs."
Xiangyun spoke quickly and said immediately:
"What irrelevant person?
Brother Bao and Sister Bao, are they unrelated people?
Anyway, I feel that these two words "treasure" sound like a "match made in heaven".
What's more, Brother Bao brought the 'spiritual jade' with him as soon as he fell out of the grass, and when Sister Bao was born, an immortal came to give her a 'life-saving golden lock'. Isn't this a 'golden and jade' couple who were born with each other?
The words on Brother Bao's jade are "Don't lose, don't forget, immortality and longevity", and the words on Sister Bao's gold lock are "Never leave, never give up, and you will continue forever". Aren't these eight words also for a pair?
”
Xiangyun talks about "a couple" in such a way, in fact, he comes completely for Daiyu - anyway, if I can't get it, I will never give it to you cheaply!
.
She didn't know that in Daiyu's heart at this time, she didn't care at all whether the "two treasures" were a couple or the "gold and jade couple" were a couple.
Because she didn't care, Daiyu didn't even respond and continued to get up to leave.
But Baoyu misunderstood. Seeing that Daiyu was about to leave without saying a word, he concluded that Daiyu was so angry at Xiangyun's words that she wanted to leave.
Baoyu immediately became angry, grabbed the jade hanging from the collar, and threw it to the ground:
"What the hell! I'll just smash it today, so I won't have so much nonsense to talk about!"
Second Master Bao smashed the jade, which naturally frightened the maids in the house and made them scream.
The woman outside heard it and thought the jade had been smashed.
Fearing that they would be blamed by Jia Mu if something really happened, they hurriedly ran to report, which alerted Jia Mu.
.
Jia Lian looked at the innocent Shi Xiangyun and thought:
It's a pity, he looks pretty good, fair and fair, tall and thin, but who knew he would be a big fool again.
Alas——
Is there something wrong with the Jia family’s food?
How can I raise a child who is just a fool?
Jia Lian looked at Shi Xiangyun, who was still childish at the age of fourteen, and shook his head gently:
"Sister Shi, it doesn't matter who is a 'couple' with whom, it's not appropriate for you to yell here, right?
Besides, if you keep shouting about ‘a perfect match’ when you have nothing to do, then your sister Bao will have to move out of the Jia family quickly just for the sake of the Xue family’s face.”
One sentence made Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai change their expressions in fright.
