From Zijuan's point of view, Miss Bao also has good intentions, but her daughter is now dissatisfied with Miss Bao's involvement in this matter. She was busy dissolving the rouge with water and did not reply to the girl's words.
Seeing Xue Yan carefully applying powder on the girl's face, he repainted the girl's lips with the already melted rouge. Apply the remaining rouge on the lips, and then lighten it to use as blush.
Zicuckoo smiled and said, "If you go out like this, no one will be able to look away."
Daiyu smiled softly, looking at the person in the dressing table mirror who was even beautiful. He asked out of curiosity: "Are Brother Rong's clothes completely dry?"
"It's still smoked."
Daiyu nodded and asked, "Is anyone watching? Don't ruin Brother Rong's clothes."
"Two girls from Dongfu are guarding us there."
Daiyu was still uneasy and looked again and again in the mirror to see that she was fine. She was also dressed exquisitely. She quietly straightened the clothes she had just changed and said, "Let me take a look."
After leaving the inner room, I saw Xiangling beside the smoker, carefully drying the wet areas of Brother Rong's clothes.
"You silly girl, why don't you accompany your uncle?" Daiyu said, then went to sit next to Xiangling. The person closest to Daiyu in Dongfu is the well-behaved and quiet Xiangling. Although Xiangling is Aunt Xue's goddaughter and is considered half of the Xue family, Daiyu has a good relationship with her.
Xiangling looked up at Daiyu and said with a smile: "I'll be the one here. Now the uncle is alone in the side room and is bored. Let the girl go over and talk to the uncle."
"Silly girl." Daiyu called softly, not grateful for the opportunity created by Xiangling. On the contrary, she felt troubled, wondering when she would have put such thought into it in the past, let alone done such a thing.
How could Daiyu pull off that face? She had long been accustomed to sulking, making others nervous and coming to comfort her. When I first met Brother Rong, Brother Rong was like this. Baoyu often licks her to catch up.
Now she had to go talk to Brother Rong, but she really couldn't move. Especially when I thought that Xue Baochai was paying attention behind me, I became stubborn and reluctant to sit next to Xiang Ling.
Not to mention asking her to take the initiative to find Brother Rong in front of the Dongfu maid and the silly girl Xiang Ling.
"..."
In Hengwu Garden, Ying'er saw her girl looking at the drizzle outside, lost in thought, and couldn't help but said: "Uncle Xiao Rong should go to Miss Lin in Xiaoxiang Pavilion."
"I've gone in, but Sister Lin's temper may not make things go smoothly." Xue Baochai lowered his head and thought.
Ying'er said: "If you ask Miss Lin to take the initiative to find Uncle Xiao Rong, it will embarrass her."
Xue Baochai looked at the drizzle and the water in front of Hengwu Garden. On the other side, he could see the scenery in front of Xiaoxiang Pavilion from a distance. The Xiaoxiang Pavilion is immersed in the mist and rain, and is green and gloomy, just like a roll of mist and rain over the mountains and rivers south of the Yangtze River.
She suddenly said: "Go and prepare hot tea in advance."
Ying'er listened to the girl's words with a discouraged tone. He chuckled and said, "If the matter between Miss Lin and Uncle Xiao Rong doesn't work out, wouldn't it be better to treat the girl? It will also make the house clean."
"What do you know?" Xue Baochai glared at Ying'er.
"Whether Sister Lin and Brother Rong will succeed or not, it really has nothing to do with me. But as long as Brother Rong and Daiyu have a good relationship and a deep friendship, the future benefits for Brother Rong, you and me will be huge. .”
Ying'er didn't understand and looked at the girl confused.
Baochai said: "If it works, Brother Rong will have a cheap Ducha Yushi as his father-in-law. Even if it doesn't work, the Lin family will choose a quick son-in-law in the court in the future. With these friendships, Ning Guofu will also be close to the future uncle of the Lin family. And there are Due to sisterhood, even if Daiyu marries someone else, the two houses will still be close relatives from the same camp."
Ying'er said: "Miss Lin also values love and righteousness. Without this, the relationship between the two families would have been close."
Xue Baochai sneered and said: "It is also because the old lady of Xifu is here now, and the Lin family masters and Zheng masters are also here. In a few years, things will be difficult to say. The old lady of Xifu is still a member of the Shi family, and the Baolinghou family and The two houses are quite close, can the Zhongjing Hou family come and go twice a year?"
She sees far and clearly. In fact, most of the communication between various houses in various houses starts from the inner house. Official communication and interest communication are based on the official position of the lintel, and the ties between the grandmothers in the inner house are the ropes.
If the grandmothers of the two families are at odds with each other, the relationship between the two families will not be much better.
How could a maid like Yinger understand these things?
Xue Baochai said quietly: "It's a pity that the Lin family doesn't have a brother, otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to help her fulfill her wish."
She also thought Daiyu didn't have any older brothers who would help Ningguo Mansion in the future.
I also think that a man who can enter a woman's heart will always be remembered by her for a long time. Even the descendants of men will be treated leniently by women.
But like Xue Baochai herself, even if Brother Rong had penetrated her many times, that was all in her heart. Although she thinks about Brother Rong and the Ningguo Mansion, in the final analysis, she thinks more about herself and the Xue family.
So what Ying'er said about purity seemed ridiculous to her.
Can Xue Baochai be jealous of Daiyu? At most, he is jealous of Wang Xifeng occasionally. She never thought about how Brother Rong would treat her, she only calculated what she could get and what the Xue family could get.
To say that she likes him, she also likes Brother Rong and has a good impression of him. When I'm with Brother Rong, I'm also happy, and my whole body feels hot with joy and shame.
But Xue Baochai knows very well that life is not only about love between men and women, nor is friendship and love everything.
Baochai secretly thought that she could hand over everything inside and outside to Brother Rong, but there were conditions. These conditions can be the man's official career and ambition, the benefits he can bring to the Xue family, or what he or his descendants can gain.
If a rich and idle person like Baoyu only knows how to enjoy himself every day, she will look down upon him in every possible way. Unless one day, the divine grace from heaven bestows a title on the Duke, allowing her to become a royal wife without any effort.
She has always been clear in her heart that although she and Brother Rong have reached this point by mistake, her inner goal has never changed.
Baochai sighed softly, "Hurry and prepare hot tea."
Seeing Ying'er go over to get ready, he called out again.
"Go to the next door and call... that's all." Xue Baochai waved his hand again, shook his head and said: "It's just a historian from one family and two princes... prepare tea first, ignore her."
As expected, the water was boiled here.
A large group of people came outside in large numbers. There were large and small umbrellas outside Hengwuyuan. It had never been so lively as it was today.
It was Brother Rong and his group.
Jia Rong looked at the environment here and saw two rows of weeping willows beside the pool, mixed with peaches and apricots, covering the sky and the sun, and there was really no dust. Another folded and vermilion-railed plank bridge appeared in the willow shade under the drizzly rain. Crossing the bridge, all roads can be passed.
I saw a cool tiled house with water-polished brick walls and clear tiles and flowers.
Everyone held umbrellas and stepped into the door. Suddenly, an exquisite mountain rock protruded from the sky, covering all the houses inside. There are no flowers or trees in the courtyard, but they are all exotic grasses: some are holding vines, some are leading vines, some are hanging from the top of the mountain, some are passing through stone gaps, and even hanging eaves are wrapped around columns and winding steps are built.
The rocks in the entire courtyard are covered with green vines.
Under the mist rain, the vine leaves were washed dry and quiet. Occasionally, I saw a few flowers hidden among the green leaves of the vines, but they were not conspicuous. It's just that on rainy days, the leaves can smell a faint fragrance.
Jia Rong looked around as she walked, and saw Ying'er approaching in front of her. Ying'er only glanced at the crowd, and saw Daiyu accompanying Brother Rong, and her expression became strange.
I was thinking: Uncle Xiao Rong didn't stay at Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a long time, so why did he bring Miss Lin here?
