Jia Lian really had no intention of saving face for Xue Baochai.
Things like face are lost by the owner of the face based on his own ability.
She has no shame herself, so she still expects others to "save face" for her?
Bah! Why does she have such a big face?
.
Nowadays, the power of the Rongguo Mansion has returned from the hands of the second eldest brother Jia Zheng to the first eldest brother Jia Lian. So Jia Zheng's wife wanted her only son Jia Baoyu to marry her natal niece Xue Baochai, a merchant's daughter. Anyway, Baoyu also
If you don't want to take the imperial examination, it won't have much impact on Rongguo Mansion.
Moreover, Jia Lian also knew that Sister Lin did not like Baoyu, so if Baoyu was willing to marry Baochai, then he would.
But the biggest problem is that the Xue family has its own problems.
Baoyu, this good-for-nothing fool, only wants to regard the Grand View Garden as his Utopia, "Tai Xu Fantasy", hiding in it day by day; treating unmarried girls as his fairies and maidens, and changing his life to a "bad love heaven"
.
What he wanted to appreciate was "the thick earth and the high sky, the endless love from past to present"; but he did not realize at all that "the crazy man resents the woman, the pitiful romantic debt is difficult to repay".
He thought Baochai was fair-skinned, beautiful and considerate, but he didn't know that once he married Baochai, he would become the murderer's brother-in-law.
Moreover, it can be seen from Xue Pan's arrogance and extravagance and Xue Baochai's unscrupulous tricks that the Xue family's upbringing is extremely poor. If you marry such a family, you will be affected for the rest of your life.
The fact that the Jia family is now so virtuous has something to do with the fact that the Jia family has married several women who can disturb the Wang family.
Marrying a wife carelessly can ruin three generations!
.
Baochai was not a fool. She could tell that Jia Lian was merciless to her, but she was a master of emotional tricks, and her thoughts always turned to Badaowan. She thought out another meaning of Jia Lian's words,
So I felt a little secretly happy in my heart:
Sure enough, men become especially jealous when they are jealous! I think it was because Baoyu and I were so close that the pretentious Lian Erye felt jealous. He felt jealous, but he couldn't express it openly, so
Let’s talk about rules.
Humph, these men are all like children. I can see through all their ideas at a glance!
So Baochai immediately acted dignifiedly, shook the silk fan in his hand, and said:
Brother Lian is serious. I always stay away from Baoyu, but today my brother invited Baoyu to dinner. I was afraid that Baoyu would suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort, so I stopped by Yihongyuan to have a look."
As soon as she said this, Jia Lian was very unhappy.
This face-loving lady, how do you keep your eyes open and tell lies every day?
Which eye does she use to see me, Jia Lian, as a fool who can be coaxed by her at will?
Jia Lian smiled coldly and started talking directly:
"'Come to Yihongyuan on the way'? You've already sat there until the second watch. Then if Miss Xue 'comes to Yihongyuan on purpose' one day, you still have to sit there until dawn?"
Seeing that the smile on Baochai's face froze, Jia Lian was not polite and continued, "It is better to chase the poor bandits with the remaining brave men":
"There is a poetry club in Touqianer's garden to sing about Bai Begonia. Sister-in-law Zhu praised Miss Xue's poems for their subtlety and richness, and she strongly recommended her as the first one.
The first line in that poem is "Cherish your beauty and keep the door closed during the day." I think Sister Xue has already established a dignified, reserved, and observant persona for herself.
', I would like to ask, have you done it?
The circumference of this Grand View Garden is three and a half miles, and there is a large water surface in the middle. Sister Xue lives in Hengwuyuan in the northwest corner, and Yihongyuan is in the southeast corner. From Hengwuyuan to Yihongyuan, it is almost two miles.
Where is the land?
If Sister Xue really "treasured her beauty and kept the door open day and night," she should have closed the door of Hengwu Garden instead of running two miles every day to cover the door of Yihong Courtyard.
It's hard for Sister Xue, who doesn't mind the long journey and just runs in the Grand View Garden every day to exercise, but why do you never even bring a maid with you? You run around all over the garden, this is 'treasuring your beauty'
'What did the lady do?
As far as I know, on the day when Xiren was lying on the kang and losing his temper, at dawn in the morning, before anyone else got up, Sister Xue had already come to Yihong Courtyard; and at noon, everyone in the courtyard was
During the nap, you can come to Yihongyuan even under the bright sun; let alone if you have something to do in the middle of the night, you can come to Yihongyuan and sit there until midnight.
It’s really hard for you. You are not afraid of the cold or heat. You run to Yihongyuan three times a day. You wake up earlier than a chicken and go to bed later than a dog. Aren’t you tired?”
.
This Jia Lian's words are really cruel.
The "face god" Sister Bao almost couldn't resist.
But Baochai was born into a merchant family after all. For the sake of profit, what does face mean to a businessman? How much is self-esteem worth?
What's more, the shrewd and smooth Xue Baochai is not an ordinary person. In order to be able to "send me to the blue clouds with the help of good wind", she will definitely endure anything.
What others call "thick-skinned" is called "generous" and "general knowledge" by Baochai.
After all, throughout the ages, almost all people who can truly accomplish great things have been thick-skinned.
If you are thick-skinned, you can eat enough; if you are thin-skinned, you can’t eat!
The corners of Baochai's mouth twitched a few times, and finally she smiled with a wooden face:
"I have always known etiquette and propriety. But Ying'er is sick, and my mother's girl is inseparable from her. Xiangling has to serve my brother and has to leave. I don't have a girl to follow, so it's really inconvenient."
A plan suddenly came up in her mind, and she simply defeated Jia Lian's army:
"I was just about to go tell Feng Yatou and ask her to lend me a big girl first, but I don't know if she will let go of Ping'er."
Are you the only one who deserves to be Ping'er?
Jia Lian sneered in his heart, and when he saw the tricks, he smiled lightly and ordered to Qian Xue:
"It just so happened that the girls in Yihong Courtyard were free, so I lent Xiren to Miss Xue first.
In addition, Yihongyuan did not abide by the rules today, and the four nuns in the Baoyu House were responsible for their duties. They were also transferred to Hengwuyuan for use, and four more responsible nuns were selected to come up."
.
Xiren had just been helped up by Bihen outside the house. When he heard this, his legs went weak and he collapsed on the ground again.
Bihen was overjoyed in her heart: There was no attacker dominating Second Master Bao, it was great now, and she also had a chance!
After hearing the answer from Qianxue in the room, she added another question:
"The attacker is the girl in the old lady's house. Do I still have to tell the old lady?"
Jia Lian's voice was cold:
"About the attack, it would be better for you to tell the old lady yourself."
"It's over."
Xiren, who was slumped on the ground, moved his lips a few times, and in the end he just muttered these two words.
Baochai in the room also instantly understood Jia Lian's viciousness.
Mrs. Wang blatantly "poached" from Jia Mu's hands and poached Hua Xiren from Jia Mu's room. She also secretly gave Hua Xiren the treatment of a "quasi-aunt" and made her her "body."
people".
This kind of "kill first and tell later" approach is really unacceptable. Even with Jia Mu's style and temperament, she would not have a big quarrel with her daughter-in-law regardless of dignity, but it will definitely make Jia Mu feel very unhappy.
Of course, Jia Lian would not leave Mrs. Wang alone, as in the original book, and let this kind of thing become an established fact and make it known to everyone in the house. In the end, Jia Lian's mother could only suffer the loss of being mute.
At this time, Baochai told him that Ying'er was ill, so Jia Lian followed the trend and pushed Xiren to Baochai.
Mrs. Wang, if you are willing to spend money, then go ahead and treat it as if you are preparing a wife for Baochai.
