"Stop talking! What's the word 'bad luck'! You know how to talk nonsense and you're not afraid of attracting bad luck!"
Xiren, who had been frightened by Jia Lian just now, the first thing he said when he regained consciousness was to scold Bihen.
Not only because of this unlucky sentence, but more importantly, when Bihen complained that "Miss Fu is also a sticky ass", she brought it up and said that Baochai is a person who has nothing to do and stays in Yihongyuan.
"Sticky butt", this is what Xiren doesn't like to hear.
In Xiren's heart, Xue Baochai must be protected in all aspects. This is a "survival plan" that she made after repeated careful consideration and must be implemented.
Protecting Xue Baochai means protecting Hua Xiren herself.
First of all, it's because Xue Baochai's backer is Mrs. Wang, and Xi Ren's backer is also Mrs. Wang.
In order to become Baoyu's aunt and achieve a class leap, Xiren had betrayed his original benefactor, Jia Mu, and officially took refuge under Mrs. Wang.
This kind of "betrayal job-hopping" is destined to have no turning back.
So when the old lady hopes that Baoyu can marry Daiyu, and Mrs. Wang wants Baoyu to marry Baochai, Xiren can only side with Mrs. Wang and must support Baochai unconditionally.
Not only must Xiren find ways to bring together and protect the "two treasures" - Baoyu and Baochai, but he must also constantly monitor and beware of the "two jade" - Baoyu and Daiyu.
Otherwise, she would not be able to maintain her current status of "quasi-aunt" and the "general dignity" of Mrs. Wang giving her an extra fortune.
Secondly, the reason why Baochai and Xiren are so "disagreeable" is because they are both "the same kind of people".
Don't look at Baochai and Xiren, one is the master girl and the other is a slave maid. Baochai is a master who is known for being a good person, and Xiren is a slave who is known for being a good person. Moreover, they are both virtuous.
A famous sage.
Baochai spent all his time on how to win over and teach Baoyu, while Xiren spent all his attention on how to win over and control Baoyu. The two of them spent all their efforts on Baoyu, both of which were so that Baoyu could quickly pass the examination and become a high official in the future.
You can also follow the rise to prosperity and wealth.
However, what Baoyu disliked the most was the imperial examination. Even if Xiren tried to persuade him with tenderness and threatened to leave, Baoyu agreed at that time, but it was just "he vowed to do so at one time, but refused to admit it at the other time."
Xiren always felt that as long as Baochai became Baoyu's mistress and she became Baoyu's little wife, and the two wives, one big and one small, would hold Baoyu tightly together and persuade them every day, all the time, during the day and at night, maybe it would be possible.
He persuaded Baoyu to "know how to return when he has lost his way".
By then, Baoyu will be able to become a serious gentleman like Mr. Zheng, Baochai will be a Bodhisattva-like Mrs. Wang, and if she attacks herself, she will be like Aunt Zhao, keeping Baoyu in her room every day and having sex with him.
After raising children, she can legitimately become the master and grandmother in the Jia family.
The third reason is the most secretive but also the most immediate reason in Xiren's heart, that is, after careful consideration, Xiren decided that being a concubine under Baochai would be more comfortable and safer than being a concubine under Daiyu.
After all, the young wife is a wooden wife who sincerely hopes that the main wife will have a good temper and not be loved by her husband.
Xiren thought that Daiyu was too smart and could see through her actions to manipulate Baoyu at a glance. It would not be good for a wife who wanted to manipulate a man to have such a sharp-eyed wife sitting in charge.
Moreover, Xiren also felt that in Baoyu's heart, Daiyu was obviously more important than Baochai. This made Xiren feel that if Baoyu married Daiyu, he would not be able to dominate Baoyu every day like Aunt Zhao did.
Baochai has a good personality, and Baoyu also has a similar affection for her. Xiren thinks that since he can control Baoyu, he will also be able to control Baochai, the unpopular wife, in the future.
The last reason is also the most important - Xiren loves Baoyu, but from the bottom of his heart he does not want Baoyu to love others.
If Baoyu is allowed to marry Lin Daiyu, who is as obsessed with heaven as he is, will her plain-looking Xiren still be favored?
.
Bihen was taught by Xiren, so he was naturally afraid of Xiren. When he saw Xiren turning his face, he quickly stretched out his hand and gave himself a mouthful:
"Sister Hua, don't be upset, my bad mouth has no future."
Xiren had no intention of pursuing Bihen. She was worried about Baochai, so she hurriedly ran inside.
After passing the second yard and entering the courtyard, in front was Yihong Kuailv, where Baoyu lived. Xicai suddenly remembered something and pulled Bihen again and asked:
"By the way, who is that 'Miss Fu' you just mentioned? Where does she come from?"
Hearing that Bihen said she was Fu Shi's girl, Xiren stamped his feet and said:
"Why did you let someone from a small family like this come in? Is she worthy of living in our garden?"
Bihen secretly thought:
Everyone said that Sister Hua must be Mr. Bao's aunt in the future, and as expected, she now regards this garden as her own.
What's more, Sister Hua's family is just a small business, and she herself is just sold into slavery like the rest of us. How can she have the nerve to laugh at the girl from Master Tongpan's family for being a "small family"?
She felt contempt in her heart, and was about to follow the offensive words with a few flattering words, when she heard Jia Lian's voice coming from the Baoyu Room:
"It's the first day for Miss Fu, so she doesn't know the rules of this garden. It's understandable. Qianxue, please tell her clearly."
Then I heard Qian Xue’s voice:
"Every day when the lights are turned on in this garden, the Lin Zhixiao family or I and the four women in charge must go around the yard to check the whole night.
Because in this garden, except for the young masters who live in Yihongyuan, all the other places are occupied by young ladies who have not left the court. Therefore, Yihongyuan must be especially strict in order to avoid damaging the reputation of the girls.
There are more nuns and janitors in Yihongyuan than in other places. Moreover, during the night inspection every day in Yihongyuan, every room must be checked, and all the masters and slaves must be welcomed out, including the housekeepers and wives.
You need to meet everyone and don't miss them.
After confirming that only the young masters and their respective servants are in Yihongyuan, Yihongyuan must be closed and locked, and no one can enter or leave until it opens at dawn the next day.
After all, if something goes wrong, no one can afford it."
Jia Lian's voice was cold:
"To put it simply, after lighting the lamp at night, it is okay for sisters to joke and play with each other and visit each other. However, Yihong Courtyard is different from other places. You must go to each house and lock the door. You cannot walk around with the girls after dark.
.
Miss Fu doesn't know this rule, but Miss Xue shouldn't know it after living here these days.
Is this Yihongyuan a big stage? Good plays come on one after another? It’s so beautiful that Sister Xue can’t bear to leave even after the second watch?
Sister Xue has never taught her to follow her, so that's fine, but as a young lady, why doesn't she even have a maid to follow her?
And Baoyu, since Grandma Li went away to solve the problem, are all the other Grandma Li dead?"
When the attacker heard this outside the house, he was so frightened that his legs went weak and he slumped down in the yard.
Bihen hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked in a low voice:
"Sister Hua, don't be afraid. This is because Miss Bao came to our Yihong Courtyard and refused to leave. We can't kick her out, right? If Second Master Lian is to blame, he can't blame us."
Xiren didn't seem to hear what Bihen said at all, she just murmured in a low voice:
"He...why doesn't he show any respect to Miss Bao..."
