I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

After Grandmother Jia introduced Jia Cheng, she smiled and pulled Jia Baoyu to her side, saying affectionately, "Come and meet your aunt."

Jia Baoyu bowed respectfully to Jia Min, his eyes clear and bright, with a warm smile on his lips.

Jia Baoyu was born with a handsome face and picturesque features, and was quite similar to Jia Daishan.

Such a handsome appearance makes him particularly likable in front of the elders.

Jia Min looked at her polite nephew and couldn't help feeling happy.

In fact, Jia Min already knew Jia Baoyu.

As early as when Baoyu was just born, Jia's grandmother could not wait to write a letter to her daughter Jia Min who was far away in a foreign land. The words were full of love for this grandson, and she emphasized on describing his miraculous life experience - being born with jade in his mouth.

From then on, Jia Min developed a strong interest in this nephew whom she had never met.

Later, every time Jia's grandmother wrote to Jia Min, she would almost always mention Jia Baoyu, who was highly expected to become a great man in the future.

After Lin Daiyu was born, Grandmother Jia discussed privately with Jia Min, hoping to bring the two children together to become a good couple, which would strengthen the relationship between them.

Although Jia Min deeply disliked Jia Baoyu's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, in her heart, she respected her second brother Jia Zheng very much, so she paid special attention to and valued Jia Baoyu.

In her opinion, a marriage between relatives is not necessarily a bad thing. Therefore, Jia Min gradually began to look forward to this marriage.

Moreover, Lin Daiyu has been weak since birth, and Jia Min was afraid that Daiyu would suffer if she married her to another family. She could only feel at ease if she married her back to her parents' home.

The two of them verbally agreed on this marriage. Now when she saw Jia Baoyu, Jia Min looked at him as her son-in-law.

I saw that he had good manners and a good appearance, and he was dressed particularly formally because he was meeting guests today.

Jia Baoyu wore a purple gold crown inlaid with jewels on his hair, and a golden headband with a pattern of two dragons fighting for a pearl on it, which was tied at his eyebrows.

She wore a red arrow-shaped sleeve with two-color gold butterflies on it, a long tasseled palace belt with multicolored silk flowers, a dark blue flowered eight-ball Japanese-forged tasseled jacket, and small court boots with a green satin and pink base.

Her face is like the Mid-Autumn moon, her complexion is like flowers in the spring morning, her temples are as if cut by a knife, her eyebrows are as if painted with ink, her nose is like a hanging gall bladder, and her eyes are like autumn waves.

What a wealthy look.

Although Jia Baoyu is inferior to Jia Cheng, who has an extraordinary temperament and a delicate and cold appearance, he still looks like a handsome young man in public.

Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were whispering just now, and Jia Min noticed it. Seeing how gentle and considerate Jia Baoyu was towards Daiyu, she felt even more satisfied with Jia Baoyu.

Just now, Jia's mother mentioned that Jia Cheng had read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, so Jia Min thought that Jia Baoyu must have read a lot of books as well. So, unable to suppress her curiosity, she asked, "Baoyu, what books are you reading recently?"

When Jia Baoyu heard this question, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face and he pursed his lips slightly.

This seemingly delicate and beautiful aunt is actually just like those pedantic literati, talking all the time about literature and learning.

It is true that after a woman gets married, she becomes as dull as the eyes of a dead fish, and all she thinks about is fame, fortune and wealth.

Although he was quite dissatisfied, Jia Baoyu still knew the basic etiquette and responded to Jia Min's question respectfully. After hearing this, Jia Min was quite satisfied with the answer.

Seeing this, Jia Zheng, who was standing by, gently stroked his beard and thought to himself, "This evil creature is quite sensible. He didn't say anything nonsense like 'traitor to the country' or 'parasite'."

Grandmother Jia naturally noticed the satisfaction in Jia Min's eyes. She was moved and couldn't help feeling that these two Yu'ers were really a perfect match.

Then she hugged Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu, one on each side, with a loving smile on her face, and said softly and jokingly: "Daiyu, what were you and Baoyu talking about just now? You two are so close, you really have similar interests!"

As soon as the words fell, Lin Daiyu's pretty face instantly flushed with shyness.

She lowered her head slightly and whispered, "My cousin just asked me what books I have read and what I like to play in my daily life."

The two of them were caught gossiping, and Lin Daiyu felt a little embarrassed.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu's eyes were fixed on Lin Daiyu's cheeks, which were flushed with shyness, and he fell into obsession again.

After a moment, he came back to his senses and quickly interrupted, "Grandma, I felt very close to Sister Lin when I first met her. I just mentioned to her that she didn't have a courtesy name yet, so I have already chosen one for her."

Hearing this, Grandmother Jia couldn't help but reveal an expression of great interest, and Jia Min on the side did not say anything to stop Jia Baoyu from continuing.

After all, according to etiquette, it is the job of her father or her husband to give a girl a courtesy name.

However, Jia Min was quite satisfied with Jia Baoyu, her future son-in-law, and also wanted to see what name he would give to Daiyu.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Jia Baoyu became even more excited and said, "The courtesy name I gave to Sister Lin is Pinpin."

When the system heard this, it made a "Pooh" sound and said, "Brother Cheng, the word 'Pinpin' really means a curse. Please help me curse Jia Baoyu."

If you can beat up Jia Baoyu, I have something good to give you. It's a secret manual from the world of high martial arts. If you learn it well, you can also use martial arts to achieve enlightenment.

This world cannot support cultivators, but you can learn martial arts. If you learn well, you will have strong bones and strong qi, and your blood will be strong, and you can live longer.]

Jia Cheng's eyes flashed. The second generation is indeed powerful. He is determined to obtain the martial arts secrets of the high martial arts world.

It seems that the system is quite powerful. If Jia Cheng doesn't take out all the system's piggy banks, he will despise himself.

After Lin Daiyu entered the Jia Mansion, the system had been nagging in his mind, but Jia Cheng had been enduring it and even showed indifference towards Lin Daiyu, just for the system to take the initiative to give him benefits.

Unexpectedly, the system gave him a big surprise.

He didn't know when he would be able to find the method to cultivate immortality. If he had this secret book that could prolong his life, he would have enough time to do what he wanted.

Jia Cheng curled his eyes, feeling proud that he had once again tricked the landlord's stupid son.

[Brother Tong, given our relationship, it’s a bit awkward for you to say that. I think Baoyu has been a little arrogant recently, and he really deserves to suffer a little.]

Jia Cheng approached Jia Baoyu and asked curiously: "Brother Baoyu, how do you write the word "pinpin"? Which pinpin is it? What does it mean?"

Jia Cheng was very close to Jia Baoyu, and he absorbed Jia Baoyu's luck without any restraint.

Jia Baoyu's luck value soon lost a lot, and he was going to be in bad luck soon.

The system was gloating over his misfortune. [It's no use letting him suffer misfortune. It would be better to put a sack on him and beat him up, so that he would covet Lin Meimei.]

Jia Cheng refused, [Your methods are too crude, just wait and see, watch me.]

He would never hit Jia Baoyu himself, as it would affect his image as a divine beast. He is best at killing people with someone else's knife.

You can do what you want without getting your hands dirty.

Jia Cheng no longer paid attention to the system's chattering, but looked at Jia Baoyu with anticipation.

Jia Baoyu wanted to show off, so he deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "The General Examination of Ancient and Modern Figures says that in the West there is a stone called Dai, which can be used as ink for drawing eyebrows. Besides, Sister Lin has eyebrows that are pointed and furrowed, so isn't it wonderful to use these two words to describe her?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but frowning even more tightly, this word "frown" seemed not very auspicious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally relaxed and cheerful atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn, and the air seemed to condense.

Jia Min showed a little displeasure on her face, and thought to herself: How could Jia Baoyu so rashly choose such an ominous word as the courtesy name of his precious daughter?

The word "颦" means frowning. What parent in the world does not hope that their children can live a safe, happy and worry-free life?

This so-called courtesy name not only did not bring good wishes, but instead seemed like a vicious curse.

When Grandmother Jia saw this, her face darkened slightly, and she was obviously somewhat dissatisfied with Baoyu's behavior.

In her opinion, Baoyu's behavior was too absurd. So she quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "Baoyu, it is a big deal for a girl to choose a courtesy name. It must be decided by her father when she reaches the age of marriage.

So, you don’t need to mention this matter anymore, and the word “Pinpin” is not suitable as a nickname for a girl.

In this world, Grandmother Jia is not so tolerant of Jia Baoyu. If it were in a world where Jia Cheng did not exist, the situation might be very different.

In a world without Jia Cheng, Grandmother Jia would be extremely indulgent and dote on Jia Baoyu, and would not think there was anything wrong with Jia Baoyu giving Lin Daiyu a name.

Not only would Grandmother Jia not blame Baoyu, but she would accept it with pleasure and affectionately call Lin Daiyu "Pin'er".

But in this world, Jia Cheng came and he has become the most important grandson in Grandmother Jia's heart, and Jia Baoyu's status has been declining again and again.

The person who was mindlessly favored by Lady Jia became Jia Cheng.

Jia Cheng blinked his big eyes with a little childish curiosity, and asked: "Brother Baoyu, what is this book "A Comprehensive Examination of Ancient and Modern Figures"? Why have I never heard of it?"

Jia Baoyu was flustered at this time, and he even started to stutter when facing Jia Cheng's questioning.

He spoke too quickly and accidentally mentioned the idle book he was reading. He now regretted it deeply.

This "General Examination of Ancient and Modern Figures" is nothing more than a biography of some unofficial history and anecdotes, and is not worthy of being published in a high-class publication.

Jia Lian's sudden question put Jia Baoyu in an extremely embarrassing situation.

He stood there blankly, his face flushed, as if he was frozen in time, unable to utter a word.

But when Jia Baoyu and Jia Cheng looked into each other's eyes, he saw each other's innocent face, and couldn't help thinking: Brother Cheng may have simply never heard of this book, and he is not trying to embarrass me on purpose.

However, seeing Jia Baoyu in such an embarrassing state, the system couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this time, Jia Zheng glared at Jia Baoyu fiercely, his face as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and he was obviously extremely angry.

If he had not taken into account that Jia Min had just returned home today, he would probably have punished Jia Baoyu severely without caring about the people present.

Because of this little episode, Grandmother Jia was no longer in the mood to continue greeting everyone. She hastily introduced Jia Zheng and others to Daiyu, asked her to introduce these relatives, and then sent everyone away.

Yingchun lowered her head and left obediently. Before leaving, she secretly glanced at Jia She. Seeing that her father's attention was all on Jia Cheng, Yingchun felt a little envious.

Tanchun was unwilling to give in. She still had a lot to say, so her trip today was in vain.

Although she is still young and childish, she is very smart.

If Tanchun had not matured earlier while living with Lady Wang, as a concubine's daughter, there might not be anything left of her.

Tanchun originally wanted to gain some benefits for herself in this situation. She saw how much her grandmother valued Lin Daiyu, so she wanted to live with Lin Daiyu in the name of companionship and stay away from Mrs. Wang for a while.

Ever since Mrs. Wang entered the Buddhist temple, Tanchun's life has become more and more difficult.

Every time Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng was staying in Aunt Zhao's room, she would order Mrs. Zhou Rui to go and talk to Tanchun.

After Jin Chuan married Zhou Rui, her personality changed. She became more and more like the deceased Zhou Rui, and her mind became much more vicious.

Mrs. Zhou Rui did not use any excessive means, but just asked Tanchun to copy scriptures.

Before Tanchun could learn a few words, she began copying scriptures by imitating others. Her bones had not yet grown, and she had to copy scriptures all day long, making her life miserable.

Tanchun was not living a good life, and Aunt Zhao felt sorry for her. She made a fuss with Jia Zheng and wanted to take Tanchun back to raise her.

But at this time Tanchun was unhappy. Although she was young, she knew that there was a difference between a concubine's daughter raised by the lady and a concubine's daughter raised by her aunt.

She was also thinking about pleasing Lady Wang so that she could be registered under her name in the future.

After becoming a legitimate daughter, she will be able to enter the palace as a female official like Yuanchun. If she is favored by the princes, she will be able to rise to the top and no longer be a lowly concubine's daughter.

These words were told to her by her wet nurse, and Tanchun agreed with them deeply.

As a result, all the words she had prepared were ruined by Jia Baoyu before she could even say them.

Tanchun lowered her head to hide the anger in her eyes, and followed everyone out of Rongqing Hall.

Everyone left, but Jia Cheng was left behind.
