I am cultivating immortality in the Red Mansion

Chapter 9 Rouge
Jia He suddenly remembered this cousin named Jia Baoyu.What left the deepest impression was the conversation between the little maid named Meiren and the daughter-in-law that night in the room where the body was found.

She had a bad impression of this person. She glanced over and didn't find that charming person, so she lowered her eyes and ignored him.

Jia Baoyu stopped and suddenly saw Yuxue's cute and beautiful girl. He was very surprised: "Who is this sister? Why is she so beautiful?" Then he looked around in circles: "Why don't you look at it? Me? If you don't look at me, I won't be able to see what your eyes look like. I wonder if your appearance is as beautiful as yours?"

Jia He snorted inwardly and lowered his eyes.

Mrs.

She just thought her daughter was shy. Seeing the children together, she exchanged a few words with Jia Baoyu and then went to Mrs. Wang's place.

Jia Baoyu teased the new fifth sister for a while, but this sister was not as sympathetic to him as Sister Lin, and she remained silent like a gourd.

Thinking of this sister, she seemed a bit silly. After a few words, he felt bored. When he was about to leave, he couldn't help but look at the two maids next to the fifth sister.

When he saw the pretty Xia Ye, he suddenly smiled and sniffed in front of Xia Ye: "This is the first time I've seen this sister. Your rouge looks beautiful. Can you give me a taste?" Xia Ye leaned over with his lips.

The others all looked at it with a smile, as if they were used to it.

Jia He couldn't see his unruly and frivolous appearance, and his face suddenly darkened, with a sharp red light in his lowered eyes.

Xia Ye nodded lightly with a red face.

Jia Baoyu stepped forward with a smile. Unexpectedly, just as he approached her, an unexpected thing happened.Suddenly there was a loud buzzing in his ears, which frightened him to stop and then retreat hurriedly.

Strangely enough, after he moved back and away from the Xia Ye, the buzzing sound seemed to disappear.

He tentatively approached the bright red rouge again... buzzing, buzzing, squeaking, indescribable and confusing noises came one after another, making him extremely noisy.

Jia Baoyu was so horrified that he took two steps back and became silent again after moving away from Yanzhi.

He originally thought that there was something strange about Xia Ye, so he blurted out: "Your rouge——" Unexpectedly, when he just said the word "rouge", those sounds exploded underground again.

Jia Baoyu quickly shut up. After the sound stopped, his face turned pale and he dared not mention "rouge" for the time being. He stuttered and said, "Fifth sister, I, I will go to my grandmother's place first. You can come over later."

Oddly enough, after avoiding that word and not mentioning it, the other words were fine.

Jia Baoyu was frightened and doubtful, and he hurriedly left, as if a ghost was chasing him. He didn't dare to stop for a moment.

Xia Ye stood to one side with a flushed face.

The winter wind blew by her side and lifted her hair. Her awkward appearance was clearly visible to the eyes of those around her, and her red cheeks made her frivolity even more embarrassing.

Mother Guo muttered: "That's Mr. Bao. Why are you going over there when you have nothing to do? If something goes wrong with Mr. Bao, we girls won't be the ones who are embarrassed."

Xia Ye stamped her feet: "What's my fault? He obviously wants to——"

"Be more measured in your actions from now on." Jia He's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her words.The tone was naive, but the flash of eyes was very sharp.Xia Ye was startled.Upon closer inspection, the girl still looked silly as before, as if it was her illusion just now.

When Jia Baoyu and the others were far away, there was a sound of laughter nearby.

Jia He looked over and saw Lin Daiyu coming around with her little maid, and hurriedly greeted her: "How long have you been here, Sister Lin? Why didn't you call me?"

"How do I call you? He is talking to you. If I come again to cause trouble, is he here to find you or me?" Lin Daiyu said, helping Jia He straighten his slightly raised hair. Clothes corners.

Jia He took her hand and glanced beside her.

Lin Daiyu understood instantly and said to the maid: "Xueyan, go and pick some plum blossoms for me. If you don't have any, ask for one from Sister Yuanyang who is by my grandmother's side."

Xueyan agreed obediently and sensibly.

Jia He moved the people around him away and asked Lin Daiyu softly: "Good sister, has the situation with the maid in your house improved?"

Lin Daiyu never mentioned this matter to anyone, but she accidentally let it slip when she was feeling uncomfortable and crying.Seeing that Jia He was very concerned now, she sighed and said: "Not yet. I haven't taken her with me for the time being. I only let her do some work in the house so as not to be left out again when she goes out." Then she said: " Good sister, please keep me in mind. This matter is my fault. I said a few words too much, but it made my sister worried. When I cried yesterday, just pretend you don’t know. I was fine yesterday After thinking about it all night, I finally decided that I shouldn’t cry in front of you, but I should have made you feel sad for a while.”

Jia He grasped the key point: "Have you been thinking about it all night? Don't stay up all night worrying about it, right?"

Lin Daiyu glanced over and said, "Who has such serious thoughts? It's just that you slept late. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

At this time, a mother-in-law came to look for her and said that the old lady missed the girls and asked her to come over quickly.The two stopped talking.

Jia He had been thinking about Lin Daiyu, and when he saw the sad look on her eyebrows, he knew that she was still worried about Ying Ge, so he secretly planned to go to Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian as soon as possible to look for opportunities.

At this time, Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang were talking in the room.

"Today when the old lady was having breakfast, she mentioned something about giving the five girls a family tree when they opened the ancestral hall." Mrs. Wang leaned on the big red and gold peony pillow, turned slightly sideways and said to Wang Xifeng: "I looked at the eldest master's I tried a lot of hard work and even tried to persuade the old lady in private."

Wang Xifeng ate melon seeds leisurely: "Let them go to their side. We can control what people eat and drink, and we can also control what people say with their mouths, hands, and feet."

"But it's not like you don't know what's going on over there in Huayuanzi." Mrs. Wang said, "In the past, Brother Lian was the only legitimate son. If more legitimate daughters come out, wouldn't it be difficult for you as a sister-in-law?" . If that child catches the eye of the old lady...you know how many good things the old lady has in her house."

Wang Xifeng chuckled: "Look at what you said. Not to mention the Miss Hui who came out of nowhere, it's Miss Lin. It's not up to me to decide what the old lady wants to give. You are a junior. I can’t say anything about it, not to mention that I am the grandchild.”

"I also want to give you a heads up. You know that the old lady is the most kind-hearted. That girl also said that it was some master who pointed out the names of famous people. The old lady took it to heart, so I told you." Mrs. Wang sighed faintly: "If it really counts, even if you come from the Wang family, you will eventually marry to Huayuanzi. But I feel sorry for you because you are my niece. If you don't take my words seriously, I will Why bother with all this talk.”

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "My aunt is still considerate of me."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Your father-in-law is a prince, and he likes beauties. He only needs Sister He, that's all. If he just uses Sister He to start the battle, and then gets a second son and a third son, you So what?”

Wang Xifeng's expression suddenly changed.
