The Red Mansion Big Liar.
Chapter 375 Unavoidable
Chapter 375 Unavoidable
When the master and servant returned to Hengwu Garden, Xiangyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Baochai was not in the courtyard.
After returning to the house and packing his luggage, he called over a few older women without caring whether the luggage at Tuobi Villa had been packed or not.
"Please help me carry my luggage, and then tell Sister Bao that the old lady asked me to move to Tuobi Villa."
Although she didn't have much luggage, she had lived in Rong Mansion for quite a while after all, and she had clothes for four seasons plus some miscellaneous things, which added up to quite a few bags, big and small.
Hearing that it was Grandmother Jia's arrangement, the maids said no more and prepared to go out with Cuilu, carrying their bags.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of Hengwuyuan, he bumped into Baochai.
Seeing the people behind Xiangyun with their bags, Baochai immediately stepped forward and took her arm, complaining with a smile: "I just heard that my sister was moving to Tuobi Villa, so I hurried back to see her off. Why didn't you wait for me?"
"Don't blame me, Sister Bao. I..." Xiangyun pursed her lips and lowered her head, "I thought we were all in the garden..."
Although I have accepted the fact of being a concubine, I don't know how to face my former sisters.
So I planned to sneak away.
"It may not be ready so quickly. I think you should not rush there. You may as well send someone to check it out. It won't be too late to go there after it's ready. Otherwise, you will go too early and have nowhere to stay."
After saying this, Baochai nodded to Ying'er, who immediately turned and left.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Xiangyun had no choice but to nod and follow Baochai back into the house.
"If it weren't for the old lady's order, I would have liked to keep my sister as a companion!"
Baochai pulled Xiangyun to sit on the kang and said with a smile, "However, we are all in the garden and not far away. Sister, remember to come and visit us often. You can't leave without saying goodbye like you did today!"
"Sister Bao! I..." Xiangyun lowered her head unconsciously, "Thank you for your appreciation, Sister Bao. I will come here often to keep you company from now on."
She couldn't help feeling resentful in her heart. If Baochai knew that she had become a concubine, she wondered if she would still be willing to treat her as a sister.
Little did she know, the opposite was actually happening.
It was because Baochai knew the truth that she rushed back in a hurry.
She had been intending to place bets on multiple parties and was particularly sensitive to such matters.
Although she had noticed Lady Jia's attitude since Yuanchun came back, when the Shi family came today and the old lady sent Yuanyang to summon Xiangyun, she couldn't help but worry whether the Shi family had violated Lady Jia's taboo.
Therefore, after Xiangyun left, he hurried back to the small courtyard in the northeast corner and asked Aunt Xue to go and inquire with Mrs. Wang.
Unexpectedly, the Shi family actually intended to make Xiangyun a concubine, and then it was heard that Jia's grandmother arranged for her to move to Tuobi Villa.
Looking at Xiangyun, who felt a little ashamed of herself, Baochai laughed at herself.
She became friends with Xiangyun not just for the sake of betting.
Before Zhang Yun逸 appeared, the only man of similar age in the mansion was Jia Baoyu.
Although he is not as good as Zhang Yun逸, he is very rare compared with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and Xue Pan.
However, although Jia Baoyu treated both of them as sisters, he was closer to Lin Daiyu.
Over time, the two people who were in a disadvantaged position inevitably began to huddle together for warmth.
Now, Lin Daiyu obviously intends to distance herself from Jia Baoyu, and the good sister who once helped each other has also become a concubine of Zhang Yunyi. Logically, she should be happy that there is no strong enemy, but she is not happy at all, but feels disappointed.
If we had taken advantage of the imperial merchant review when Zhang Yun逸 had not yet gained power, we could have seized the opportunity.
Why has it come to this embarrassing situation now?
Although she had mixed feelings in her heart, she could only force a smile and said, "Sister, please stop saying these polite words. How can there be any respect or disrespect between us sisters?"
Seeing Baochai's sincerity, Xiangyun couldn't help but blush and said, "My sister is speaking out of turn, please don't blame me, Sister Bao!"
She felt relieved a lot, thinking to herself, Sister Bao is so thoughtful, how could she reveal anything?
Lin Daiyu, on the other hand, always loves to make fun of others. I'm afraid she won't be able to help making fun of herself now that she knows she is a junior.
Thinking of Baochai's character, they couldn't help but relax a lot, and the two sisters had some heart-to-heart talks.
Fang saw Ying'er come in and reported: "Miss Shi's place has been packed, and the eldest lady is waiting for the girl over there!"
Mrs. Wang handed the task of managing the Grand View Garden to Li Wan, so naturally she had to take care of the arrangements for Shi Xiangyun's move.
Hearing this, Xiangyun hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long, sister-in-law. I'll go first and come back to see you another day."
Baochai took her hand, came to the dressing table, took out a pearl hairpin from the box and said, "Sister, you know that I never like to wear these pearls and jades. It would be a waste to leave them. If you don't mind that I used it, I will give it to you."
"This..." Looking at the pearl hairpin handed over by Baochai, Xiangyun quickly declined, "It's too valuable. I dare not accept it!"
Although the large red gorilla felt gifted by Yuanchun was much more expensive than this hairpin, she was the eldest lady after all, and there was a difference in the relationship between them, so there was nothing wrong with accepting it.
But Baochai was a little too polite to talk to her.
However, Baochai was determined. She forced the hairpin into her hand and said, "Sister, do you dislike the fact that I used it?"
Seeing her say this, Xiangyun could no longer refuse and had to grab it in her hand.
Baochai then took her arm and walked her out of Hengwu Garden.
When they arrived at Tuobi Villa, they saw Li Wan and the maids and old women in the courtyard coming to meet them from afar. While ordering the servants to take over the large and small bags, she pulled Xiangyun into the house and said, "Go in and see if there is anything you are not satisfied with."
If Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were living in Rongfu, then Shi Xiangyun was even lower.
Now that the gap between them has finally been narrowed, Xiangyun can't help but feel a little satisfied and excited.
However, before she could be happy, she heard Li Wan say with a smile: "Brother Yi hasn't heard the news yet. If he knew, he might buy some more for you!"
This……
I had thought I could keep it a secret for a while, but I never expected the news would spread so quickly.
When Xiangyun thought of the way her sisters looked at her after they learned the news, especially Lin Daiyu, she felt her head buzzing and her face unconsciously darkened.
Li Wan did not notice her ugly face, and excitedly pulled her away from the crowd, complaining in a low voice: "Everyone says that Feng girl is very considerate, but I think her ability is very limited. She made you squeeze with Bao girl for so long. I just took over the affairs of the garden a while ago. I thought that after the New Year and Bao girl's birthday, I would arrange a place for you to live. I didn't expect that the old lady got there first."
