dream of red mansion

Chapter 404 Daiyu Xiangling
Jia Qing's voice finally brought Jia Baoyu back to his senses. Seeing everyone looking at him with smiles, Jia Baoyu blushed and said in disguise: "Sister Bao, you look so good today."

"whee."

Ying, Tan, Xi and Daiyu Xiangyun all said with a smile.

Jia Qing asked: "Second Brother Bao, I don't like to hear that. What do you mean that Sister Bao is really good-looking today? When will Sister Bao not look good?"

Although Jia Baoyu's mouth was open for a while, not knowing how to answer Jia Qing's words, but it also made all the sisters laugh at his audacity.

Xue Baochai sat down gracefully, and she just smiled at everyone's scrutiny and discussion, and did not take it seriously, acting calm and composed.

"Second brother, you really failed at learning." Jia Baoyu opened his mouth for a long time, and finally expressed his most direct feelings to Jia Qing.

Jia Qing replied with an incomprehensible expression.

"Grandfather, listen to what they are saying." Wang Xifeng said to Jia Mu with a smile at the table above.

Mother Jia heard it too, so she said loudly: "You two, don't just tease your elder sister Bao, be careful that your aunt won't give you wine!"

Then he smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "Don't be surprised, Madam, both of them are always so shameless."

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "It's not surprising, it's because they are close to Bao girl, it's too late for me to be happy."

After everyone sat down, Aunt Xue ordered the show to start, although it was a troupe called in temporarily.But I couldn't bear the fact that Xue's family was rich, so all the actors in this small troupe performed hard, and their own skills were also good. Gradually, the scene calmed down, and everyone watched the play seriously.That is, those who occasionally pick up chopsticks to eat will move gently so as not to disturb others.

Below, Jia Qing, as usual, didn't want to watch after watching one or two episodes.Being bored, I looked up and saw that Daiyu next to me seemed to have no interest, so I leaned over from Tanchun and said to Daiyu, "Sister Lin, how about I discuss something with you?"

It's not that Daiyu doesn't like watching operas, it's just that she just doesn't like this episode. When she heard Jia Qing's voice, she turned her head and said, "What's the matter?"

"How about I find a well-behaved and sensible maid for my sister?"

"What maid?"

Because Jia Qing stretched her head in front of Tanchun, blocking Tanchun's sight, she was about to push him away, but she saw that Jia Qing seemed to want to talk to Daiyu about something serious, so she gave up, and then leaned back to make it easier for Jia Qing. Qing and Daiyu talk.

In this way, Jia Qingyue turned his head a little further in order to keep his voice down.

"Anyway, she's the best girl, so I'll ask you if you want it?"

Although Jia Qing thought that his voice was very quiet, he didn't know that other people had already been influenced by him. When they heard him say something like giving away the maid, they should either look directly at him, or at least pay attention.

"Second brother, look at you, you are almost crushing third sister!"

Jia Qing just waited for Daiyu's answer, and suddenly heard Xiangyun's voice of denunciation, only then realized that Tanchun had been "forced" by him to straighten his body, and he might fall down.

He hurriedly turned back and smiled apologetically at Tan Chun, but he also got a smiling face.

Here Daiyu thought for a while and said: "Since she is the best girl, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

Jia Qingdao explained: "That's right, Xiangling's family was destroyed by a fire many years ago, and her father became a Taoist priest again, leaving her mother to live with her grandfather.

It's just that her grandfather was a vulgar farmer, and he was very philistine. Her mother was worried that she would end badly after taking her back, so she wanted to stay in our house and seek a place to live. "

After hearing Jia Qing's words, everyone, including Xue Baochai, turned their heads.

Jia Baoyu was the first to speak, and he couldn't wait to say: "Okay, second brother, you must keep her! If you don't keep her, I will go tell the old ancestor, let the old ancestor keep her. They stay."

Jia Qing ignored Jia Baoyu's words.As long as it is good-looking, Jia Baoyu would like to live in Jia's house, Jia Qing laughed at this.It's just that he forgot that he himself has the same temperament
"Since that's the case, then you just keep them. Why did you give her to me? Could it be that your family still can't let the two of them go?" Daiyu said.

"I originally wanted to keep them, but my sister-in-law said that there is no reason to use my benefactor's family members. If they are placed outside, firstly, they will have no property, and their lives will be difficult in the future. Second, they are old and young. Don't worry too much."

At this time, Xue Baochai said: "Sister-in-law You is right. In my opinion, if they really want to stay, it's just right to put them in the hairdresser's house. In this way, they can live here without worrying about those words." .Besides, Brother Qing and Sister Lin are righteous brothers and sisters, so they won't worry about wronging them."

Xue Baochai also hopes that Xiangling can stay in Beijing.Xiangling has been with their family for a year, and there is a certain degree of affection between the two, plus Xiangling's naive and timid nature, she is also worried that Xiangling will be bullied after leaving.

It's fine if you don't know at that time, if you know, you are no longer from their family, and you can't help, it will inevitably make her and Aunt Xue sad.

Jia Qing nodded and said: "That's exactly what I said. Besides, her family is the same as my sister, and her hometown is Suzhou, and she is about the same age as my sister. It just happens to be a companion in the future. The most important thing is to give them to my sister. Don't worry too.

I will personally tell my second sister-in-law that in the future, the money and food expenses of their mother and daughter will not be collected from the accountant of the Rongguo Mansion. "

Originally, Daiyu was thinking that she was just staying in Rongguo Mansion, so she couldn't add people to the house without permission.After listening to Jia Qing's last words, it is obvious that Jia Qing even took this point into consideration.In addition, she has also met Xiangling, and people say that she is somewhat similar to her.There's nothing wrong with coming to accompany me now.

With no scruples in her heart, Daiyu said: "Well, after you tell the second sister-in-law, just call them over."

After the dust settled, Jia Baoyu said: "Second brother is too small, how much can the two of them spend? In my opinion, don't bother, let them be the same as Xueyan and Wang Mama, and get them from us." good."

As soon as Jia Qing heard it, he knew that Jia Baoyu was taking the opportunity to please Lin Daiyu, but he didn't understand what Daiyu was thinking.

Sure enough, Daiyu only glanced at him and said nothing.So Jia Qing said: "It's not a question of how much the cost is. Before we left, my adoptive father told me to take good care of Sister Lin. If the old man knew that I gave Sister Lin two envoys, he would also ask her grandmother to take care of her." While bearing the expenses, don't you think my brother is incompetent?

Therefore, if it is not estimated that the ancestors would never agree, I would like to take sister Lin to live with me."

When Daiyu heard this, her heart moved.Jia Qing's side doesn't have any elders, so it would be more comfortable to live here than over there
Jia Baoyu became impatient: "No."

Seeing Jia Qing staring at him, he remembered that Jia Qing and Daiyu are brothers and sisters, this is really not up to him, so he said: "The ancestor will never agree."

Jia Qing pouted, isn't this nonsense!
