Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

The etiquette officer angrily took out the written paper, smeared it with glue,

He snatched the bird cage from Lin Ruhai's hand and stuck it on.

Lin Ruhai, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a flower-billed parrot.

Lin Ruhai shook his head generously, threw up his sleeves, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, I glanced at a gift list.

It clearly says on it that Miaoyu supports the rebellion.

Whoever offers this tribute and talks about rebellion at this time is very bold. Supporting rebellion will lead to endless disasters!

Lin Ruhai stopped and wanted to look around to see whose family it was, but the etiquette officer held him down.

With extreme impatience on his face, he said, "What are you looking at? Why don't you leave?"

Lin Ruhai smiled helplessly. Whatever! You can see it on the stage. Who is so bold? I admire him very much!

Lin Ruhai felt very pleased to receive such courage. The imperial court was still a stagnant pool!

So he didn't take the etiquette officer's expulsion seriously.

Why bother with a villain?

Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai strode over and joined Lin Yongan and others who were waiting on the side.

……

In Hengwu Garden of the Grand View Garden, Xue Baochai, who was embroidering attentively, looked up at the sky.

Seeing that there was no one in the room, she lowered her head and thought for a moment.

Put down the work in your hands and stand up.

From the bottom compartment of the dressing table, she took out a jade pendant wrapped in layers.

Hold it in your hand and rub it carefully, as if it is still warm.

She smiled self-deprecatingly, then took the gold lock from her neck.

Wear the jade pendant around your neck.

A cool feeling pressing against my chest.

The chain is exactly the same as the gold lock.

Xue Baochai smiled slightly and put the gold lock back in place.

Place it at the bottom of your dressing table.

Lock it tightly with a small padlock and hide the key.

Then he sat back in his chair and shouted loudly,

"Ying'er..."

Ying'er was sewing in the next room. She came in after hearing the noise, with some tangled threads on her body, "Miss! Are you calling me?"

Xue Baochai looked at her and frowned.

"Pack up. We'll be out in a bit."

Ying'er was stunned for a moment, then became happy.

I feel a bit annoyed. When will I be able to finish all this needlework?

Why can’t it be handed over to those who do needlework?

But she didn't dare to complain. Instead, she was very happy. Didn't the lady trust her?

My future will not be bad either...

Hehe...

Thinking of this, she hurried back to her room, washed and changed her clothes. Then she came out in a hurry.

Xue Baochai looked at Ying'er. This girl was still clumsy and unruly. How would she be able to control the situation in the future?

But there is no need to worry about it now, let’s talk about it in the future?

Thinking of this, she ordered, "Let's go!"

"Miss, where are we going?" Ying'er asked casually.

Xue Baochai paused and said without turning her head, "Follow me! Bring more silk strings in different colors."

Ying'er pursed her lips.

……

When she saw that it was heading to Yihong Courtyard, Ying'er was a little panicked.

"Miss! Madam has told us that we shouldn't go there now!"

"After we get engaged, if we keep seeing each other, people will gossip about us. Some of the gossip is pretty unpleasant."

Xue Baochai heard this, and without stopping, she rolled up the handkerchief in her hand and said softly,

"Keep your voice down!"

"We'll just go for a while."

"Be right back! Who can say anything?"

"If anyone asks, just say Xiren wants a silk corduroy and we'll deliver it to her."

"Let her choose for herself!"

"But..." Ying'er still wanted to persuade him, because Zhou Rui's family now has many spies.

If I knew, I would have to reprimand myself.

Before she could finish, Xue Baochai stopped abruptly and said, "I told you to shut up. If you don't want to, go back."

"I have my own idea. When we come back, we'll go through the second girl's place and let her choose."

As soon as these words came out, Ying'er immediately shut up, as if the wind on the road had filled her throat.

Ying'er covered her mouth and coughed twice.

Xue Baochai's pace quickened.

……

"Miss Bao, why are you here?" Xiren looked back and saw no one behind her but Xue Baochai and Ying'er.

When she first heard the report that Xue Baochai had arrived, she was still a little skeptical.

So I came over to greet him in person.

Xue Baochai smiled softly, her face blooming like clouds, "I came to see Brother Bao, are you feeling better?"

"Also, Ying'er has made some different kinds of lace recently. You can pick some too."

“Some need to be changed frequently.”

As she spoke, she turned around and told Ying'er, "Ying'er, take out the silk cords and let Xiren choose one!"

Ying'er smiled and nodded, and took out a large bag, "Sister Xiren, there's a breeze at the door, let's go there and pick some!"

As he said this, he pointed to the next room.

Xiren looked at Xue Baochai. Although there was no external rumor, all those who served her closely knew that the future Second Mrs. Bao would be the Miss Bao in front of her.

From now on, everyone will make a living under the Second Grandma.

Of course I dare not offend.

So Xiren nodded and followed Ying'er to the next door.

……

Xue Baochai gently pushed open Jia Baoyu's door and saw him lying on his side with his back to the door.

Xue Baochai walked quietly to the bedside. There was a stool beside the bed, which Xiren probably often sat on.

Xue Baochai sat down sideways.

After hesitating for a moment, he half bent his waist, lowered his head and was about to call Baoyu.

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu seemed to sense something and turned around suddenly.

Xue Baochai was startled and stood up, accidentally knocking over the stool.

"Bang..." The sound of the stool falling to the ground was very loud, especially in the quiet Yihongyuan.

Xiren and Ying'er, who were choosing brocades next door, looked at each other in surprise.

Both of them hesitated.

To go or not to go?

……

After waiting for a while, Xiren could no longer sit still. Bao's second wife had not yet married in, and if anything went wrong it would be her responsibility.

The one who can deal with me now is Mrs. Wang.

If anything happens to Baoyu, he will suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, she stood up suddenly and rushed into Jia Baoyu's room like the wind.

She opened the curtain and was immediately dumbfounded, her hands shaking unconsciously with surprise.

The shaking of the cotton curtain also startled the two people inside.

Baoyu asked in surprise, "Xiren, where have you been?"

"I didn't even know how to greet Sister Bao when she came."

"I just asked Sister Bao, and she said I was sick, so why don't I remember it?"

"Also, I was just about to ask you, my family and the Lin family had a fight, what happened to Miss Lin and Qingwen?

At this time, Jia Baoyu's eyes were bright and he looked energetic, as if he had recovered, and he spoke clearly and powerfully.

He sat up and looked at Xiren with a frown on his face.

Xiren turned a deaf ear to him and her hands were shaking.

Oh my God! This is God's will!

Is it true that a wedding can cure the disease? People still don't believe it, but when Miss Bao comes, most of the disease is cured.

Gods and Buddhas!

Did you really open your eyes?

Xiren's lips were trembling so much that she couldn't speak.

She took a difficult step and wanted to kowtow to Xue Baochai.

This is not the second grandmother, this is the Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering!

You know, this family has suffered so much because of the Second Master’s illness.

What's the point of kowtowing? What's the point of kneeling until your knees are rotten?
