【Third Update】
However, he said that this afternoon, Lin Daiyu was studying in the Xiaoxiang Hall when he heard Zijuan come in to report that it was Auntie You from Erye Sun's family visiting.
Lin Daiyu felt a little inexplicable.
To say that because of her sister Ruan Rong, she was no stranger to Second Sister You.
But second sister You came to visit alone, but it was the first time in history.
Lin Daiyu pondered for a while, and then guessed that the other party was probably going to the Three Treasures Hall without incident.
In her heart, she was not worried but happy. If it was just the matter of Second Sister You, it would be fine. If the Sun family was involved, it would be possible to repay a little favor.
Therefore, Lin Daiyu ordered Zijuan to invite people in, and at the same time she dressed up slightly in front of the dressing table.
When she picked up the curtains and went outside, Second Sister You was holding tea and carefully scrutinizing the furnishings in the room.
Seeing Lin Daiyu come out from the back room, Second Sister You hurriedly put aside her tea bowl, got up with a smile and greeted her, "I knew that Miss Lin was very shy, but I never thought that even this room would be tidy up so elegantly."
"But I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do."
Lin Daiyu also smiled, and shared the guest and host with her and sat down again, but she asked straight to the point: "Sister came to me, is there something wrong?"
This is straightforward, but Second Sister You forgot what to say for a while.
However, she reacted immediately, stood up again and said, "Speaking of which, I shouldn't have bothered Miss Lin, but I couldn't think of any other reason, so I had to use the name of Sister Rong to go into the garden and talk about it."
In the name of Ruan Rong
When Lin Daiyu heard this, she was a little baffled. Although it was inconvenient for men to come and go in this Grand View Garden, Second Sister You, who was a close-knit female family, had never been hindered by anything.
I listened to what she said, but it didn't seem to be a casual language disorder.
So I couldn't help but wonder: "What do you mean by this sister, is there still someone stopping you?"
"Not against me."
Second Sister You shook her head and smiled: "It's the girl Xing in your house."
Then, he made Xing Zhong wholeheartedly want his daughter to be a concubine. After being rejected several times, he approached Mrs. Xing, but was instead used by Mrs. Xing as a bargaining chip to extort a sum of money from the Sun family.
"Now that uncle of the Xing family is blocked outside the house, and there is no one who is willing to help with the communication, he has no choice but to ask for the Ningguo House next door, and my sister pushed it on me again."
Second Sister You said with a sigh and said helplessly, "Because this matter involves my second master, I had to bite the bullet and get in there, so that there can be a message between his father and daughter. "
When Lin Daiyu was a child, her impression of the eldest aunt was actually better than that of the second aunt, but as time went on, her impression of her became worse and worse.
But she really never thought that Madam Xing could achieve such a level in order to make money!
Immediately, there was an air of valiant chivalry in his heart, and he said sternly: "Sister, don't be impatient, I'll have someone invite Miss Xing."
After a pause, he added: "But if Miss Xing doesn't want to be a concubine, my sister is looking at my face today, but she mustn't force it!"
Second Sister You naturally agreed.
So Lin Daiyu called Zijuan and ordered her to go to Ouxiangxie to invite Xing Xiuyan to come and speak.
Unexpectedly, Zijuan only came back after half an hour when she left, and when she left, she was alone, and when she came, she was alone.
"what happened?"
Lin Daiyu frowned and said, "Does anyone really dare to stop him?"
However, Zijuan hurriedly explained: "The girl misunderstood. I went to Ouxiangxie to find out that Miss Xing was not there. I heard that she lived in Chucui Nunnery yesterday."
Having said that, she couldn't help but hesitantly looked at Second Sister You.
Seeing this, Lin Daiyu said: "If you have something to say, just say it, even if it is to look at my sister's face, sister You will not spread it outside!"
Zijuan then added: "I heard that it was because I persuaded the fourth girl to go to Lingqian to perform filial piety, and as a result, the two quarreled, so I went to the Chucui Nunnery overnight."
Lin Daiyu felt bored again when she heard the words. Although she had already guessed that there must be some cause and effect, Jia Xichun's actions were really unacceptable.
The house was full of smog, so it was no wonder that Baoyu always complained about the filth of the world!
At this time, Zijuan continued: "Later I went to Zhaocui Nunnery, but I heard from Master Miaoyu that Miss Xing was invited over by Hengwuyuan just after dinner at noon."
Went to Hengwu Garden
Now Lin Daiyu finally understood why Zijuan didn't invite anyone back.
She and Xue Baochai were at odds with each other, and even the maids under her were secretly competing.
If Xing Xiuyan was somewhere else, Zijuan would just look for it without any instructions, but if it was in Hengwu Garden, it would be more taboo for no reason.
Not to mention it was her, even Lin Daiyu couldn't help frowning. She didn't know whether to send Zijuan to invite someone or wait until Xing Xiuyan came out of Hengwu Garden.
Second Sister You also knew the competitive relationship between the two, and seeing that Lin Daiyu seemed to be in a dilemma, she immediately got up and said, "Why don't I just go and find her, anyway, the reason is ready-made, let's just say that Xiangling asked me to send some things passed."
Seeing that she had even thought of a reason, Daiyu didn't stop her, but asked her to wait a moment, and then pulled out a booklet from the dormitory and handed it over to Second Sister You.
"These are some new poems that Xiangling has written recently. You can bring them here and ask Sister Bao to help you correct them."
However, it turned out that Xiangling came from the Xue family after all, and her identity was a bit embarrassing, so she wrote poems, and it was not easy to ask Xue Baochai to help in the evaluation, so she asked the equally talented Lin Daiyu.
After going back and forth, Lin Daiyu was both a teacher and a friend with her.
But she said that Second Sister You got these poems, and she felt more at ease. She immediately thanked Lin Daiyu and rushed to Hengwuyuan under the guidance of the little maid.
…
There are two flowers, one on each side.
However, Xue Baochai said that Xue Baochai appreciated Xing Xiuyan very much, so she was one step ahead of others and learned of the conflict between her and Jia Xichun.
When Xing Xiuyan was invited to Hengwu Garden this time, I also felt that a girl’s family would inevitably cause gossip in the nunnery, so I thought that I would simply leave her to live in Hengwu Garden for a few days, and then try again when the storm passed. Let the two get back together.
In the afternoon, it happened that Li Wan came to visit again, and the three of them gathered together to talk about something, but they all seemed a little absent-minded.
Xing Xiuyan didn't need to say more. She had offended Jia Xichun and her aunt Mrs. Xing successively. Although she didn't regret it, she was inevitably a little apprehensive.
And Li Wan came here actually for Aunt Xue. At this time, it was hard to get out when he bumped into Xing Xiuyan, but his mind flew to the inner room early.
As for Xue Baochai...
She originally speculated that her mother's recent abnormal behavior had something to do with Sun Shaozong - but after testing it yesterday, she could not confirm this speculation.
Seeing Li Wan from time to time, looking into the dormitory, doubts arose in my heart. Thinking about the rumors that this eldest sister-in-law is accustomed to doing some fake Feng Xuhuang deeds, could it be said...
Thinking of all of them, she couldn't help but get hot on her face.
But if the mother really had something to do with Li Wan, it might not be a bad thing.
After all, my brother and sister-in-law are worried, and I am getting older, and one day I will be separated from my mother.
If you can marry Baoyu, that's fine. If you marry someone else, the mother will be alone, which is really worrying.
At that time, if I can have Li Wan by my side, I can't say no to my loneliness.
Although these thoughts came from filial piety, the red cloud on Xue Baochai's face was involuntarily heavier.
Seeing this small talk, she was about to move in the direction that the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth. Suddenly, Ying'er came in to report that it was Aunt You from the Sun family who was visiting.
The three people in the hall were stunned for a moment, and then Xue Baochai asked curiously, "What is she here for? Has our family ever had any dealings with her?"
Ying'er hurriedly said: "I heard that I was entrusted by Xiangling to send a few poems here, and I want to ask the girl to help me comment."
"I see."
Xue Baochai nodded, but she was even more puzzled, because she had already heard about Xiangling asking Lin Daiyu to help correct her poetry.
In the past two years, except for some gifts during the New Year's Day, she has never seen a word from Xiangling.
Although he was still puzzled, everyone had already arrived, so it was not easy to turn him away, so he complained to Li Wan and Xing Xiuyan, and took the initiative to get up and go out.
Lin Daiyu and Second Sister You are still acquainted with each other, so they are more casual with each other.
As for Xue Baochai and Second Sister You, they had only met twice in the crowd, and they never even said a word.
But after a short while, Xue Baochai came in from the outside side by side with Second Sister You, and saw that only Xing Xiuyan was left in the hall, and Li Wan was nowhere to be seen.
Xue Baochai knew that Li Wan must have gone to her mother's place, and she didn't know what it was like for a while.
Subconsciously, she wanted to introduce Xing Xiuyan and Second Sister You, but Second Sister You took the lead and said with a smile, "Miss Xing is indeed here!"
Seeing that Xing Xiuyan also greeted her generously and said 'Aunt You', Xue Baochai suddenly remembered that Xing Xiuyan had lived in Sun's house for more than ten days and naturally recognized her second sister You.
He smiled at the moment: "Since I'm an acquaintance, I won't waste my time here."
Saying that, he raised the booklet in his hand and said with a smile, "It's rare that Xiangling sent the poems this time. My sister might as well help me with the evaluation."
Xing Xiuyan was about to evade her, when Second Sister You suddenly restrained her smile and said, "Actually, besides Xiangling, someone else asked me to send a message to Miss Xing."
Xing Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then she seemed to have misunderstood something, her face flushed, and it surpassed all the accumulations of Xue Baochai before.
I wanted to ask clearly, but the purple lips opened and closed a few times, but I couldn't utter a single word.
Seeing this, Xue Baochai couldn't help but have a misunderstanding. He sighed for Xue Tao in his heart, but he said with a smile: "I'll see where the eldest sister-in-law is, you guys can talk about you."
With that said, he made a gesture and walked inside.
Second Sister You finally reacted at this time, knowing that they mistakenly thought that she was sending a message for Sun Shaozong, so she hurriedly said: "The girl has misunderstood.
Having said that, Xing Zhong was rejected again and he had to turn to Ning Guofu for help, and briefly narrated it again.
When Xing Xiuyan heard the words, her expression changed immediately, she bit her cherry lip and hesitated for a while, but shook her head firmly, "I beg your sister to tell my father that I can't go to Sun's house with him right now."
"Why is this?"
Second Sister You was stunned for a moment. Xing Zhong had said before that his daughter had already agreed to the marriage, so how could he go back on his word
Could it be that he was afraid that Jia She and his wife would fail
But then Jia She thought he was right, but could he influence Sun Shaozong's private affairs
If nothing else, even Jia Yingchun would choose Sun Shaozong over his own father when he was between the two.
Second Sister You felt inexplicable. Xue Baochai, who was about to leave but did not succeed, roughly guessed what Xing Xiuyan was thinking.
At the moment, I was busy pulling Second Sister You aside, and woke up quietly: How could there be a serious woman who would live in a man's house as soon as she got married
Second Sister You suddenly realized, and quickly said: "Don't blame girl, it's because we were not thoughtful enough for a while, you should wait in this mansion for a few days, and I will come to pick you up when your honor is settled."
