dream of red mansion

Chapter 264
"Well, it's nothing, it's just me, that is, no one in my room is free, and I happened to see Sister Suyun in the sister-in-law's room, and I bothered her.

Maybe she didn't make it clear, so the second brother thought it was the sister-in-law who called him over."

In the face of Jia Qing's "aggressiveness", how can Jia Baoyu speak frankly?If he said that he saw Sister Lin playing with Jia Qing, then he would be ashamed to death!
Besides, he didn't quite understand why he was uncomfortable, but he just vaguely felt that something was about to leave him.But he couldn't figure out what it was specifically about.

So, he didn't really hold a grudge against Jia Qing.Otherwise, he would not have participated when he heard the sisters sending people over to pick up the books last night.

Although he is deceiving his ears and stealing the bell, he has seen his sincerity.

Now that Jia Qing was so frank with each other, he felt a little embarrassed, so he came up with such a way of thinking hastily.

Then, I suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about. Isn't sisters supposed to be close?

Seeing him like this, Jia Qing didn't force him, let alone tell the truth, but just said "So that's how it is", even if it was exposed.

"Don't say it, don't you say it."

In Tanchun's room, Xue Baochai, dressed in goose yellow clothes, walked in gracefully, and heard Shi Xiangyun's voice.

Then, looking around, there were seven or eight people in the room, and five or six of them were reading books with their hands in their hands.Among the maidservants who could read, they all joined in.

Although they are sitting loosely, the tables and chairs are filled with golden books that are either opened or closed, and every book holder is very colorful and well-mannered, and does not give people a sense of clutter. , but full of the atmosphere of books and paintings.

"Everyone reads quietly, what are you two doing?" Baochai said.

Only then did Shi Xiangyun discover that Xue Baochai had come in, dropped Daiyu's arm, jumped off the bed, took Baochai's hand and said, "Look, Sister Bao, Sister Lin is really hateful!

She was reading a book, but she came over suddenly and told a lot of the following content, it's really hateful! "

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Oh, so that's the case. Sister Lin is a fast reader. You are not as good as her, so she asked her to play tricks on you."

Shi Xiangyun snorted coldly: "That's not true, she only chooses what she likes to watch, and she skipped all those wonderful fights, so she is faster than me.

I'm not like her, I like to watch people fighting inside! "

As he said that, Shi Xiangyun waved his arms, as if he had already got into the book and practiced with Huang Rong.

Lin Daiyu got out of bed slowly, put the book in her hand in the bookcase next to Tanchun, and said, "Okay, I've finished reading it, so I won't disturb your elegant mood."

Shi Xiangyun clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, you are finally leaving."

Daiyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Who said I'm leaving? What I said just now was for the third younger sister and the others.

Yun girl, come here, I'll tell you what's next, it's easier to keep it than to read it yourself. "

Shi Xiangyun pulled Xue Baochai and stamped his feet: "Look, look, she knows how to bully me! Good sister, help me restrain her."

Baochai smiled and said: "Okay, your elder sister Lin is coaxing you. She won't do it again, so you can rest assured."

Only then did Shi Xiangyun let go, glared at Daiyu, sat back on Tanchun's bed, picked up the book she had left behind, opened it, and crossed his legs to read it.

Lin Daiyu did not provoke her again.

Jia Qing's book consists of [-] volumes, although it is not thick, but it has enough words (the original book has even more), it is too much work for her, and she is eager to know the ending, so, Just glanced at it briefly.

She planned to read it again when she had time to spare.

Suddenly, Xue Baochai also picked up a book from Tanchun and sat down beside her, apparently intending to read it too.She couldn't help but said: "Sister Bao, don't you have one? How can you take the third sister's?"

Baochai kept moving her hands, and said gently, "Oh, I didn't ask anyone to ask for it from Brother Qing, so I didn't."

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's right. I heard that Baoyu didn't ask anyone to go. It seems that the second elder brother sent him one alone..."

Baochai paused, raised her head, and said flatly, "Really, I don't know about that."

She can understand the meaning of Lin Daiyu's words, but she can't understand.Could it be, what's so strange about this?

Brother Bao is a boy, and he and Jia Qing are brothers, so it is common sense to take the initiative to give a book.But it is not good to take the initiative to send it to her.

Could it be that Lin Daiyu didn't even know this?

Of course Daiyu knew, but she took the initiative to ignore it.

"Isn't it, my sister is embarrassed to ask for it? This is easy to handle. If my sister likes it, can I ask for one for my sister?"

"Thank you for your trouble, my sister. If that's the case, my sister might as well ask for one more."

"to whom?"

Baochai didn't answer, but glanced at Tanchun before saying: "My sister, I just borrowed Tanchun's book just now. So, it doesn't matter if you have it or not, I don't think it's necessary to bother."

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and after a while she realized that Baochai was laughing at her for doing the thing of digging her belly to hide the pearl.In fact, why did she not bring Jia Qing's manuscript because she was afraid of damaging it?Originally, she was really careful about asking for the manuscript, after all, it was unique.

However, if you really want to watch it, it is still not as convenient as a bound book.Therefore, she ordered Zijuan to put it away, but took Tanchun's to look at it.

Daiyu opened her mouth to speak, when Tanchun suddenly put down the book in her hand, and said with a smile, "You two, don't be fooled here, it keeps me thinking about what you said, and I didn't read it at all..."

Baochai apologized with a smile, then turned to the page she had read for a while, and made a gesture of not wanting to bother.

Daiyu was bored seeing this, so she looked around again, called Zijuan, went out of the room, and went back.

Here, the sisters were tired of watching for a while, and slowly began to talk and discuss.

For a while, Yingchun said, "Why is Baoyu not here today?"

Tanchun continued: "I don't know what happened to Brother Bao in the past few days. He didn't say anything, and he didn't joke with us. We gathered here today. Although we didn't send anyone to call him alone, it is expected that he will come. , who knows that he didn’t come.”

Shi Xiangyun also said: "I was just wondering. After my ex-son came, Brother Bao seemed to be a different person. I thought something happened, so I didn't ask carefully. Who knows that you don't know Know."

They just talked about it, but no one could figure out why.At one point he said:
"After the birthday banquet at the Ningguo Mansion on the day of the birth, the second elder brother was busy with the Emperor's birthday, so he never had any free time. He is busier than the master now, and it is rare for him to joke with us for a while."

Tanchun said: "It's not true. Ever since the uncle in the mansion practiced Taoism, he has ignored everything. Fortunately, there is a sister-in-law there to help. Otherwise, how would the second elder brother take care of such a big family?" come over?

Originally, this was all, but the emperor still took a fancy to it, so he couldn't be idle. "

Everyone asked: "What do you mean? Who does the emperor take a fancy to?"

Tanchun smiled and said, "Who else is it? Of course it is our second brother who is known as a 'child prodigy'! Last night I went to my wife's room to say hello, and I heard the master and wife say that the emperor asked the second brother to go to the court to do Bingke is in the middle of the matter!

Tell me, if you become an official in the court, wouldn't you be busier? "

In the house, some have heard it from Mr., some have heard it from other places, and some have seen it in books.In short, although they don't necessarily know the truth, most of them know what kind of official position is in the military department.

What's more, this is an official bestowed by the emperor himself, and they are all secretly happy for Jia Qing.

"Second brother is going to be an official at this age, it's really rare!" Yingchun sighed.

Shi Xiangyun said: "What's the matter? In ancient times, Gan Luo became prime minister at the age of 12. It just so happens that the second elder brother is about the same age now. It's so strange to be an official of the fifth or sixth rank!"

Among the people here, Xue Baochai is probably the only one who understands this matter the most. She said with a smile: "From what you say, is it possible that such an official position is not in your eyes? That's right, there are two Marquises in your family now." In the future, when choosing a husband and son-in-law, he must also choose a young master. From this point of view, we understand."

"Oh, you are bad, you are so bad!"

When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he immediately ignored the many, and chased forward to scratch Xue Baochai.Baochai avoided it naturally, and the two sisters started chasing each other in the room, which caused laughter and laughter throughout the room.
