When Jia Baoyu reluctantly came to Lixiangyuan, he learned that Baochai was with Daiyu.
This made Jia Baoyu very happy. He took the opportunity to visit Daiyu and fulfilled his mother's instructions.
"Speaking of which... Sister Lin and I haven't seen each other for a while!"
"She has been in poor health for the past two days. I should have gone to check on her!"
Jia Baoyu murmured in a low voice, his words full of concern for Daiyu.
It can also be seen from this that the Jia family now strictly implements family rules, otherwise Jia Baoyu would not pester Daiyu.
When he arrived at Jia Mu's courtyard, he learned that the old lady was still sleeping peacefully, so he went straight to Daiyu's residence.
The girl sitting outside was about to report, but was stopped by Jia Baoyu's gesture.
He has always been approachable and very popular among the girls in the house, so these people are willing to cooperate with him.
Tiptoeing to the window, he heard a conversation inside.
But it was Baochai who was talking about what he had seen in the palace, and Daiyu would ask questions from time to time. The atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious and interesting.
"Military parade? So many people? How lively it is!"
"Sister Bao, I really envy you...for being able to experience these things!"
Feudal ethics were strict and those in the boudoir were oppressed. Most people would become numb after a long time.
But a beautiful woman like Chai Dai will naturally retain her yearning for interesting things.
In the room, Baochai couldn't help but sigh: "It's only in the palace, with the princess... that I have the opportunity to appreciate such a grand scene!"
But Daiyu tilted her head and smiled and asked, "Sister Bao, why do you only speak half of the words?"
"What do you mean by this?" When Baochai asked this question, he knew that Daiyu had bad intentions.
"If I hadn't entered the palace, how could I see the Thirteenth Master every day!"
"You girl...I won't let you go!"
Baochai was about to take action, but then he heard her change the topic and said with a smile: "Girl Lin... I think Master Thirteen is probably devoted to you!"
"Sister Bao, what you said doesn't make sense!" Daiyu didn't take it seriously.
After straightening her clothes, Baochai smiled slightly and said, "Does that make sense? Just listen to what I have to say..."
"Sister Bao, you said..."
"Half a year ago, Thirteenth Master gave you precious medicinal materials, right?"
"Um!"
"I have no relatives, why should I give you these?"
"It's all because my father is able to do things well, so..."
Baochai asked with a smile: "Uncle Lin can do things well, so he will naturally be praised by the court. What does it mean if he comes to reward you?"
"What happened to the Jia family a few days ago, does it have anything to do with you? Why did he only reward you with a sachet when he summoned everyone in the Jia family?"
"Master Thirteen said... I am the daughter of a loyal minister, so..."
At this point, Daiyu herself felt so strange that she couldn't continue talking.
Seeing that Daiyu didn't speak, Baochai said half-heartedly and half-relieved: "Girl Lin, it's obvious... Master Thirteen is really interested in you!"
The so-called "knowing the subtleties" obviously seemed to Baochai that Zhu Jinghong, a playboy, must have coveted the beauty of Daiyu, so he would express his goodwill by rewarding her many times.
This method is exactly the same as teasing her and the girl from the Qin family.
Faced with Baochai's conclusion, before Daiyu had time to speak, she saw someone rushing in outside the house.
"You...you are talking nonsense!"
The person coming was Baoyu. At this moment, he pointed at Baochai with anger beyond words.
Seeing this situation, Baochai couldn't help but be stunned, wondering how this guy could suddenly break in.
The next moment, Jia Baoyu approached the bed and looked at Daiyu with tears in his eyes: "Sister Lin...she is talking nonsense. Don't believe her!"
"She is obsessed with clinging to the royal family, and now she wants to lure you in and trap you within the high wall. With such a viper heart... you can't be deceived by her!"
Ever since Daiyu was rewarded last time, Jia Baoyu had a strong sense of crisis, fearing that Zhu Jinghong would fall in love with this good sister.
In the past few days, he had been numbly convincing himself, and it was difficult for him to calm down, but Baochai's analysis pierced his illusions.
It was originally a joke with Baochai, but Daiyu never expected that Jia Baoyu would come out to spoil the fun.
What made Daiyu most angry was that Jia Baoyu criticized Baochai and showed no respect for her sister.
"Baoyu...Sister Bao is joking with me, you can't talk nonsense about her!" Daiyu reminded righteously.
However, at this time, Jia Baoyu was overwhelmed by anger, and said with a sincere attitude: "Sister Lin, what's wrong with you...why do you trust her and not me!"
Daiyu didn't want to listen to him at all and turned her head to the side. Now she felt more and more that Baoyu was being unreasonable.
"you you……"
Seeing that Daiyu didn't listen to him, Jia Baoyu was even more angry and trembling, and was speechless for a moment.
"I...I smashed this thing..."
In a rage, the guy finally remembered his innate skills, took off the jade stone from his chest and smashed it to the ground.
Just a few "pops" were heard, and the jade rolled to the corner, but fortunately it was still intact.
"He's crazy... call the guards quickly..."
Baochai was also frightened. She actually thought that she was still in the palace, so she said the foolish words of "calling the guards."
Seeing Baoyu smashing jade, Daiyu was so frightened that she started crying, and the room suddenly became chaotic.
Fortunately, the serving maid came and pulled the angry Baoyu out, and the room became a little peaceful.
The so-called clay figurine also has a three-part fire nature. Jia Baoyu has been causing trouble several times, and Baochai is also furious at this moment.
Seeing Daiyu weeping alone, Baochai was already thinking in her mind that she would try to teach Jia Baoyu a lesson for her repeated offenses.
Listening to the noise here, Jia Mu, who was taking a nap, was also alerted and rushed over with the help of Yuanyang and others.
After briefly asking about the situation, Jia Mu looked extremely angrily at Baoyu, the precious grandson for whom he had high hopes.
Looking at Baochai with a bad expression, Jia Mu suddenly felt frightened.
The old lady already knew the inside story of Baochai's selection as an attendant, and even saw with her own eyes that Zhu Jinghong had a close relationship with her.
If Baochai complained in front of Zhu Jinghong about what happened today, her precious grandson might not even be able to save his life.
"Miss Bao... Baoyu... he is still a child, he is not sensible and has not been trained... but he still has a good heart. Don't be like him!"
Jia Mu, who had always been considerate in everything she did, was now speaking intermittently, and her name for Baochai had changed, which showed that she was under great pressure at the moment.
Baochai still felt angry, so he did not express his position after hearing these words.
"Baoyu...you bastard, why don't you come over here and apologize to your sister Bao!" Jia Mu scolded angrily.
"Ancestor..."
Jia Baoyu did not hear the difference, but Jia Mu scolded: "Go quickly, or your father will be called to discipline you!"
Being disciplined by Jia Zheng would require a severe beating.
Hearing this, even if Jia Baoyu was resentful, he could only walk up to Baochai obediently, bow to Baochai with an indifferent expression and apologize.
"Speak!" Jia Mu was extremely anxious.
"Sister Bao, Sister Lin... I was wrong!"
"Miss Bao... look!" Jia Mu was full of hope.
With a dull expression, Baochai looked at Daiyu aside and said slowly: "If Sister Lin is not angry, I won't be angry either!"
"Yu'er?"
Daiyu glanced at Jia Baoyu, then turned around and said: "Ancestor, let Baoyu... stop disturbing us from now on!"
"Did you hear that? Don't bother me anymore. Have you forgotten the rules set by your uncle?"
Upon hearing Jia Mu's question, Jia Baoyu wanted to say that she was following her mother's orders, but after thinking about it, she finally held it back.
"I know!" Baoyu bowed his head and listened.
"Hurry up and get out!"
"yes!"
