Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 300 Mind

Inside Hengwu Garden.

Hearing that the Mei family came to cancel their engagement, everyone gathered here to wait for the news and were talking about it.

Everyone else felt sorry for Xue Baoqin, some felt sorry for Xue Baoqin, and some were worried that she wouldn't be able to bear the excitement. Only Jia Baoyu could not hide her joy.

Shi Xiangyun slapped the table and snorted coldly: "Humph! No wonder Brother Lai is at odds with him. He is really not a good person! He can find fault with Sister Qin's character and appearance!"

Yingchun couldn't help but feel sad when she thought that her marriage to Lai Shangrong had been disrupted.

For the first time, he said: "Sister Qin doesn't know how to feel sad. Will we embarrass her if we wait for her here?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister is confused, do we still have to pretend as if nothing happened? Isn't this the way to get along?"

Yingchun Nuonuo said: "I'm just afraid that she will be embarrassed..."

Everyone's personality is different. At first, she was not like Xue Baoqin, who made a fuss known to everyone. She felt that everyone was looking at her with ridicule, and she stayed behind closed doors for a long time.

Seeing that Shi Xiangyun wanted to refute, Lin Daiyu interrupted: "Second Sister also meant well, but what Sister Yun said is also good, now it seems deliberate to avoid it on purpose, and makes her feel uncomfortable. Why don't you explain it to her, so as not to get into a dead end? , I can’t think about it for the moment.”

Tanchun said: "The Mei family is also from a scholarly family, how can they do such a thing as regretting their marriage? Is there any hidden secret?"

Shi Xiangyun raised his voice and said: "Sister Qin has only been in Beijing for a long time. What secrets can she have? It's just that she dislikes her family background and her father died early!"

She was the only one in the audience who dared to say this. After all, Lin Daiyu's parents were dead, so she was even more mature than Xue Baoqin.

It's hard for others to say, but Shi Xiangyun, like Lin Daiyu, also lost his father and mother.

If she had been married to Lai Shangrong, Lin Daiyu might have felt regretful about her life experience and felt sorry for herself.

Now he didn't feel dissatisfied, and knowing that Shi Xiangyun was outspoken, he laughed at himself: "According to what you say, no one will want us anymore."

Shi Xiangyun blurted out: "Sister Lin made sarcastic remarks again. How many people in the world can be as good as Brother Lai!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Daiyu thought of Lai Shangrong's thoughtfulness and couldn't help but look shy, and couldn't care less about annoying her.

But Jia Baoyu, who was originally beaming with joy, immediately lowered his face.

He shouted: "It's not a bad thing. Sister Qin doesn't need to marry. This is a great joy. It's fine if you don't feel happy for her. Why are you saying all these depressing things?"

After saying that, he looked around confidently, but found that no one was looking at him. Instead, they all looked at the door.

"Brother Lai! Sister Bao! Sister Qin!" everyone stood up and said.

Just as Lai Shangrong, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin stepped into the house, they heard Jia Baoyu's lofty remarks.

It was a pity that he was standing in the front row and could not turn around to see the faces of Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin.

"Brother Bao's words are wrong. The Mei family behaved like this without any regard for sister Baoqin's reputation. How could it become a happy event in your mouth!"

In fact, from a certain perspective, Jia Baoyu's words are not entirely wrong. With the attitude of the Mei family, Xue Baoqin's failure to marry is also a good thing for her.

However, this did not prevent him from labeling Jia Baoyu as someone who took pleasure in his misfortune.

As soon as these words came out, except for Tanchun who was a little confused, everyone else looked at Jia Baoyu with the same hatred.

Jia Baoyu faltered and said: "I...I didn't mean that..."

Before he could continue to explain, Lai Shangrong interrupted forcefully: "Of course I know you don't mean that, but you still have to think through your words. If your words spread, how will Sister Baoqin deal with herself in the future!"

Turning to Xue Baoqin, he said: "Sister Baoqin, don't worry about it. The Mei family is so disrespectful. It's not a bad thing to cancel the marriage. Now he can be regarded as retribution for evil, and he has saved my sister from the sea of ​​misery." His words In fact, it is not much different from what Jia Baoyu said, but the context is different, the attitude is different, and the people listening will naturally feel different.

Xue Baoqin just thought he meant something and said shyly: "What Brother Lai said is absolutely true. I didn't want to marry too early, but I had to marry because of my father's death. Now that his family has taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, it actually suits my wishes." !”

Although Xing Xiuyan has the proof, she doesn't have much resistance to being Lai Shangrong's concubine, but there is still a huge gap between resistance and willingness, so she shirks it by not wanting to marry early.

She said these words to Lai Shangrong, but she reflected Jia Baoyu's thoughts. She thought she was speaking to herself, and her eyes could never leave Xue Baoqin.

"Yes, yes! What Sister Baoqin said is absolutely true. From now on, we will eat and live together, compose poems together, and play together. Why bother getting married and being those damn fish-eyes!"

Xue Baoqin never expected that he would be so sentimental. It could be said that there was a wolf in front of him and a tiger in back. He didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Xue Baochai had watched him and Lai Shangrong exchange words before, and was dwarfed by them, and couldn't help but be angry at him for not arguing.

I even regretted that there were rumors and rumors with Lai Shangrong, and I didn't make mistakes.

At this time, I saw that after hearing Xue Baoqin's words, he became more solid again, his eyes were burning and he was not leaving even an inch, and his lungs almost exploded with anger.

"Brother Bao's crazy talk, it's better not to talk about it, let people listen to it, you are nothing, our daughter's family can't compare to you!"

Lin Daiyu also finished her attack at the right time and said: "Sister Qin, don't worry, he said this more than once or twice, you don't have to argue with him."

Seeing the awkward situation, Tanchun quickly changed the subject and said, "I just heard from Brother Lai that evil in the Mei family will be punished. What is the reason?"

For some unknown reason, Xue Baochai didn't wait for Lai Shangrong to answer, and rushed to tell everyone about the emperor's dispatch of Mei Hanlin to Xiyi.

"Hey! Could it be that Brother Lai already knew that the Mei family intended to break off the engagement?"

Tanchun's mind was quick and he asked.

"Hmm! I heard them say it when I had dinner with Wenlong years ago."

Lai Shangrong nodded, and then said, trying to cover up the truth: "I just stated the truth to the emperor, and I did not deliberately target the Mei family for selfish reasons."

Even if his statement cannot be true, how can everyone believe it?

Shi Xiangyun clapped his hands and said: "So, sister Baoqin is out of the sea of ​​suffering?"

Said, went up to hold Xue Baoqin's hand, and said with a smile: "there is a saying, you will be blessed after a disaster, maybe after this experience, there will be a good marriage waiting for sister Baoqin!"

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. Xue Baoqin couldn't help but think of Lai Shangrong.

Shy Han said: "Sister Xiangyun is making fun of people, I already told you..."

At this point, I remembered Jia Baoyu's crazy words just now, and immediately stopped talking.

"Pfft!"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Lin Daiyu guessed her concerns, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "We were originally worried that my sister would not be able to think about it. Since it is a good thing, there is no need to bother saying those comforting words."

After saying that, she stood up. Unlike the last time Xue Baoqin entered the house, this time she never doubted that Lai Shangrong came to see her.

If she hadn't been worried that Xue Baoqin wouldn't be able to think about it, she wouldn't have wanted to delay the moment she saw Lai Shangrong.

Lai Shangrong immediately understood and said with a smile: "I just want to go back and see Sister Lin off on the way!"

Seeing the two people leaving hand in hand without hesitation, except for Shi Xiangyun, the others all seemed a little disappointed although the reasons were different.
