Zhou Rui's family quickly responded and said: "This interest alone is definitely not enough. We have to find ways to get some more." She stepped forward and whispered: "Last time, that girl Ping'er got money from Yuanyang.

The old lady's belongings were exchanged for money. It's not as good as..."

Mrs. Wang's expression changed and she said, "How can these two girls have such courage?"

Zhou Rui's family said: "The old lady often said that those private houses belong to Mr. Bao. Those people still have a grudge in their hearts. Those people with smiles on their faces can be ruthless behind their backs. Now we can't use the excuse to remove those people.

He stole the valuable ones and threw them into his arms. I heard that the most inconspicuous Buddha statue last time was worth five hundred taels." Her son-in-law resold it for one thousand taels. What a profit. Her daughter was in her ear.

I have been thinking about it for many days. As long as I can persuade my wife, I will be an old feudal prince in a few days. I have a couple and a daughter, married to a good man, and my status is half a head lower than my son-in-law. Now I can contribute a little bit.

, there is nothing to hesitate.

Mrs. Wang knew in her heart that the Jia Rui family was talking about Wang Xifeng. Her niece knew it herself. She had such a temper that she would dare to fish for money in the frying pan. If she was really hiding behind and only commanding Ping'er to be the spearman in front, that would be too

It makes sense. And it is in line with her temperament. As for Ping'er, an aunt who was born as a girl, the housekeeper is naturally trembling with fear. Who would have thought that she would dare to take the old lady's things for herself.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is the case.

The Jia Rui family naturally knew that Mrs. Wang would be tempted, and added: "Since it is left to the second master Bao, it is naturally more secure to leave it here with the wife than with the old lady. The second master Bao is a single seedling, but the old lady's

You have more than one grandchild. It’s hard for an old man to be soft-hearted sometimes.”

Exactly these words.

Mrs. Wang nodded: "It's hard for you to think about me so much. I'm afraid it's hard for me to talk to you like a mandarin duck."

"What's this worth?" Jia Rui's family member said: "Who doesn't have a family member? Her mother and I are looking after the house in the old house in Jinling. My brother is the comprador of the old lady's yard, and my sister-in-law is in charge of the laundry in the old lady's house. This

As long as someone is in charge of things, there will always be someone who is greedy. If they get the handle, they are afraid that she will not follow the rules."

Mrs. Wang nodded: "Just do it as you see fit, and don't lose your sense of proportion. Otherwise, it won't be to manipulate or win over people, but to make enemies."

Jia Rui's family was overjoyed and just about to leave, they heard reports from outside that Aunt Xue was here.

So she stood and waited for the guests to come in, bowed and served tea, then bowed her head and left. She knew that this was another person giving money to his wife.

"I guess it's time for you to come." Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Pan'er is too mischievous. How could he cause such a trouble?"

"This evil obstacle will definitely kill me. If he had one-tenth of the benefits of Baoyu's child, I would be thankful to God." Aunt Xue wiped away her tears and said, "But what can I do now?

I can still watch him die."

"Children and grandchildren are all debts." Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "But what can we do now? The old lady has spoken. How can I, as a daughter-in-law, be disobedient? You might as well go and beg Feng in private about this matter.

Girl, she is very close to the eldest girl of the Lin family. Maybe she can have a few words with her."

"Sister, didn't Baoyu's kid already beg for help from my family? I didn't know why Baoyu was muttering to Feng Yatou at first. Now that I think about it, it must be this honest-minded kid who handles things for my aunt."

Aunt Xue said very gratefully: "It's hard for this child. Feng girl even refuted Baoyu's words, knowing that she would never get involved. At my age, why bother to ask for trouble."

"Girl Feng is getting more and more alienated from us now." Of course Mrs. Wang knew that Wang Xifeng would not agree.

"So, the only one I can rely on now is my sister." Aunt Xue sighed: "I am a bad obstacle now. Without him, Bao Yatou and I will have no way to survive. In the future, I will have no shame to see my master when we get there.

"It's done." He said, pushing a box in front of Mrs. Wang, "Sister, I also know that it's hard to come to the door if you don't have something decent to ask for. This is five thousand taels of silver. I just ask my sister to go to the Lin family and say something.

talk."

Mrs. Wang looked at the box, how could she not be tempted. Someone came from the palace and asked for three thousand taels of silver, so that she could make up for the meal. Now that five thousand taels are presented to her, is it possible that she can still let it go.

Thinking of her daughter who was in trouble in the palace, Mrs. Wang was certain. There was no guarantee that asking for help would be successful. Let's collect the money first. Whether it would succeed in the future would only depend on their fate.

"Why do you have to do this? How can I really watch Pan'er lose her life?" Mrs. Wang said calmly, and the money did not go back. This proved that she had accepted it.

Aunt Xue suddenly felt relieved.

The two of them had no time to chat and parted ways.

When Xue Baochai heard what Aunt Xue said about the conversation between the two, she never let go. There were so many people who accepted gifts without doing anything. But it was hard for Aunt Xue to know just this, so as not to worry about it. She thought to herself,

It's not a bad idea to go and see Lin Yutong at home.

But he said that Jia Baoyu took the gift given to the Lin family by Jia Yuanchun and went to the Lin family.

Before Lin Ruhai returned home, Lin Yuyang followed Wen Tianfang to Jinghaibo Mansion. Only Lin Yutong and Lin Daiyu were at home. But Lin Yutong was having menstruation for the first time in his life and was feeling uncomfortable. He drank two bowls of brown sugar.

water and fell asleep.

Lin Daiyu saw that Lin Yutong was not feeling well. She fell asleep easily and seemed to be uneasy. She did not dare to ask anyone to disturb her.

Jia Baoyu came, and he had a reward from the palace. The servants did not dare to neglect, so they had to report to Daiyu. Daiyu stood up and was about to go out, but stopped again: "Send someone first to get Baoyu."

Go and freshen up. It’s a hot day. I’m afraid you’ll be covered in sweat. I’ll also send you herbal tea to relieve the heat, which will save you from the heat. Find a suitable person to find your brother and come back, saying that a male guest is here.” Then he gritted his teeth and said,

"Besides, there is a screen in the flower hall, and I can receive the rewards from the palace through the screen. If word spreads around, they will think that our family is arrogant and dares to neglect even the rewards from the empress."

Sister-in-law Ping glanced at Daiyu in surprise, nodded and retreated.

Jia Baoyu felt comfortable when she saw that all kinds of people were waiting for her in the Lin family. And when she heard that it was the second girl who ordered her, she felt even more happy and asked directly: "Where's Sister Lin? Why aren't you here?"

After everything was done, he was led into the flower hall. Through a translucent glass screen, he vaguely saw Daiyu sitting on the other side.

"Sister, what are you doing? You're acting like this. No matter how many things are between you, I know it's you." After saying this, Jia Baoyu wanted to go around the screen and come towards the back, but asked Fanghua to stop her.

"Just sit there. It's been a hard journey all the way. I've sweated a lot, so I'd better drink some tea." Lin Daiyu said quickly.

"I drank two cups of the herbal tea you asked people to bring. I couldn't drink it. My sister is older now and is getting better at living. When guests come, not only do they serve wine and meat, they just force them to drink.

Water, what's the point?" Jia Baoyu did not sit back, but stood on the edge of the screen, talking to Lin Daiyu.

"Bah! I don't know a good heart." Lin Daiyu spat at him and said, "You just go to the house where there is wine and meat, who will invite you?"

"Meat and wine don't matter. I'm going straight for the taro, who cares about anything else." Jia Baoyu leaned over to take a look, asking Qingfen and Fanghua to block it.

"Just be calm. What fabricated allusions did you use to tease people?" Lin Daiyu's voice was light and soft, and it was like fairy music in Jia Baoyu's ears.

He scratched his head anxiously and said: "We have lived in the same house since we were young, and we are very familiar with each other. Now we are doing this, isn't it like hiding one's ears? When did my sister become so worldly?

."

Lin Daiyu was silent for a long time before saying: "Just tell me why you came here. Don't talk about the business. You are just talking nonsense with me here."

"Ouch! I forgot everything after meeting my sister." Jia Baoyu patted his forehead and said: "It was a gift from the empress. I brought it to my sister. Sister Lin's is the same as the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister.

It’s the same. Sister Bao’s has an extra string of musk, and sister, you have an extra Bingyu Ruyi.”

"Then what did you get?" Lin Daiyu saw the girl bring it in and played with the jade Ruyi. This Ruyi was only the size of a child's hand and could be hung on the body as an ornament. It was quite delicate.

"There is an extra bunch of musk strings and a jade string as you wish." Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "If you like this bracelet, just take it." After saying that, he took it out from his arms and said, "This is what I left for my sister."

It’s on.”

Lin Daiyu thought for a moment, what did this mean? Xue Baochai, like Baoyu, both had the same musk string. Like Baoyu, she both had the jade Ruyi. Instead of joy, she felt a little more bored. What kind of arrangement is this?

Meaning: "What do I want with that musk string? What's yours is yours. Otherwise, she has it but you don't, so what's the point? Why should I be such a wicked person."

Jia Baoyu was heartbroken. Sister Bao's golden lock needed a jade to match it. He had heard such rumors before. He thought that as long as he didn't care, it wouldn't matter. But he didn't want his sister to fall into his heart. He was sweating profusely.

Said: "I don't care what others say. I have my own mind. Why would my sister say such a thing?"

"I'm just saying, why are you in a hurry?" Without seeing anyone, Lin Daiyu knew that he was anxious again. She said: "I want this string, but I can't hang it on my wrist. Just take it back and play with it."

Jia Baoyu couldn't help but think of Xue Baochai's plump and beautiful wrists. She was slightly distracted.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lin Daiyu thought he felt uncomfortable and coaxed: "I just said something. You started to ignore me."

Jia Baoyu woke up and asked hurriedly: "What did my sister just say?"

"Hmph! I don't know which sister or sister I'm thinking about again, you're like a goose." After finishing speaking, Jia Baoyu didn't wait for him to say anything, and said: "You go out by yourself, I guess everyone at home is thinking about you, so don't stay here for too long.

My father and brother are not here at home, so I won’t let you have dinner. Go back quickly so that the old lady can rest assured."

Jia Baoyu looked at the sky outside and saw that it was indeed getting late, and said, "I only have one more thing to ask my sister."

"This is unusual. Isn't it that my second uncle wants to check your homework again and asks me to write it for you?" Lin Daiyu said with a smile: "I have already written a lot for you. I will just ask someone to send it to you later.

How can I say anything that I don’t want to ask for?”

"It's not because of this." Jia Baoyu whispered: "It turned out to be the elder brother of the Xue family who offended cousin Lin and Jing Haibo. I think this is a sin for the eldest brother of the Xue family. Please give me a kind word, sister.

That’s it.”

Lin Daiyu stood up and said with a sneer: "I don't know. It turns out that Mr. Bao is related to his cousins ​​from the Xue family, and they are far away from our Lin family. Otherwise, why didn't you speak for my brother?

On the contrary, you are interceding for the Xue family. It can be seen that in your heart, the Xue family is naturally more important than the Lin family. I don’t know about my own brother. He is definitely a person who will not cause trouble. I haven’t seen my classmates in school.

He is not on good terms with anyone. Jing Haibo is a close confidant of the emperor. Could it be that such a person is a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong and bullies others at will. Now the second master Bao does not ask right from wrong and is innocent. It is obvious that he is not helping his relatives.

I'll help you. Since it's not a close relationship, why would Mr. Bao condescend to come over? Just go back."

Jia Baoyu was speechless for a long time before he said: "If I have such thoughts, just ask me to die."

Lin Daiyu stood up to leave and said: "On a good day, why do you come to my house to seek death and live like this? Is it possible that if I don't agree to your Xue family's affairs, you won't be able to leave."

"Who has such thoughts? It's just a casual remark. Why would my sister say such heart-wrenching words? My sister should know who is close and who is distant." Jia Baoyu said angrily, "It's not for anything else, it's for me.

My sister shouldn't say such things."

Lin Daiyu whispered: "Just go back quickly. We have been talking for a long time. Daddy bumped into me when he came back, and he will definitely ask you about your homework."

Jia Baoyu's expression changed and he said, "Sister, why are you trying to scare me like this?" But in the end, he didn't bother much and said goodbye.

Lin Yuyang was in the study room. When he saw Lin Ping come in, he said, "Why, is someone gone?" In fact, he had come back long ago, but he just didn't go up to disturb the two of them talking.
