[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

The next morning, Xue Baochai got up early, sat in front of the dowry, and carefully dressed.

Ying'er stood behind Xue Baochai, combing her lady's hair carefully with a comb, and watching her make up.

"Miss, what's the matter with you today, why do you put on your makeup so seriously?" Usually, Xue Baochai's makeup is very simple, just draw eyebrows, not even rouge and lip balm.Today's Xue Baochai not only draws her eyebrows seriously, but also draws eyeliner, powder, rouge, and lipstick.

Xue Baochai didn't answer Ying'er's question, but took out several pairs of earrings from the dowry, put them next to her ears for comparison, and finally chose a pair of ruby ​​earrings.

"Does it look good, Yinger?"

"Pretty, really pretty." Ying'er said with a smile, "Miss, you usually wear too simple and elegant, but you are actually very suitable for red. Look how good you look in this pair of ruby ​​earrings."

Xue Baochai also thought that this pair of ruby ​​earrings looked good on her, "You are the only one with a sweet mouth." After speaking, she opened a brocade box, which contained various pearl hairpins, step shakers, and hairpins.She picked out a pearl hairpin that was the same as peony, and took out a phoenix-tailed hairpin.

Usually, Xue Baochai will only have a jade hairpin or jade hairpin, sometimes even a silver hairpin, on her head.She seldom wears golden hairpins, or delicate and stately steps.

"Miss, you look so pretty." Ying'er hadn't seen her lady dressed so grandly for a long time.The last time Miss dressed up so grandly and beautifully was when Miss participated in the draft. "You should always dress like this."

Xue Baochai belongs to the plump and gorgeous type, the more grandly she is dressed, the more beautiful she is.Let's put it this way, others would look tacky wearing gold and silver, but Xue Baochai would look graceful and noble if he wore gold and silver.

She knows that she is suitable for wearing gold and silver, but she usually dresses very elegantly.She did this mainly because she didn't want to be so noticeable.

Xue Baochai took out a pair of red agate bracelets from the jewelry box and put them on her snow-white wrists.Red and white, complement each other, very beautiful.

"Miss, what's wrong with you today, why are you dressed so nicely?"

Xue Baochai straightened the hair that was hanging down on her chest, looked at herself in the mirror, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled lightly, "It's nothing, I just want to dress up suddenly." After speaking, she told Ying'er, "Go and paint me in blue. clothes."

"Ah?" Ying'er was stunned. "Miss, it's rare for you to dress up today. Shouldn't you be wearing a brightly colored dress? Why don't the servants bring you the red butterfly dress?"

"No, just bring me the plain blue clothes I usually wear." Although Xue Baochai dressed up deliberately, she didn't want people to see that she put a lot of thought into it, so she still wore the usual old clothes, so as not to Let people see what.

If she wasn't in Rongguo Mansion, she would definitely wear a red butterfly flower dress and dress up more brightly to meet him, but she is now in Rongguo Mansion, so it is not suitable for her to dress so brightly.

No matter what Yinger persuaded, Xue Baochai insisted on wearing the plain blue dress instead of the red butterfly flower dress.

This kind of thing also happened in Jia Tanchun's house.Jia Tanchun also got up early to dress up and dress herself up beautifully, but she wanted to go with Xue Baochai, and didn't want people to see that she had dressed up specially, and the clothes she wore were all that she usually wears on weekdays .

Shi Xiangyun also got up early to dress up, but she was not as careful as Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai, and she wore new clothes.

The reason she gave was that when she saw Sister Lin and Cousin Lin today, she had to dress up to look good.

Xue Baochai and the others went to Jia Mu's house after breakfast.After greeting Jiamu, he stayed in Jiamu's room, waiting for Lin Huaiyu and the others to arrive.

When he went to pay his respects, Xue Baochai could tell at a glance that Jia Tanchun had been well-dressed.However, Jia Tanchun didn't see that she had dressed up carefully.

When Xue Baochai was about to leave the house, she changed all the pearl hairpins, Bu Yao, and earrings on her head into a simple and elegant color, which matched her plain blue dress just right.

The reason why she changed it before the door was mainly because she was afraid of being spotted by Mrs. Wang.Although they are all plain and elegant, they are all new, and she looks very good in them.However, it is not as bright as before.

Shi Xiangyun was very generous, and directly told Xue Baochai and the others that he wanted to see Lin Huaiyu and the others today, so he had to dress up nicely.

When Jia Baoyu heard that Lin Huaiyu and the others were coming today, he specially asked Xiren and Qingwen to help him dress up.If nothing else, just talk about appearance, Jia Baoyu is still good.After some careful grooming, the whole person is more graceful than usual.

Before Lin Huaiyu and the others arrived, Xue Baochai and the others were already nervously waiting for their arrival.

Compared with Xue Baochai's grand attire, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu seemed too casual.The two brothers and sisters didn't dress up specially, they were dressed as usual.

Lin Huaiyu and the others were not in a hurry, they were going to Rongguo Mansion after breakfast in Ye Mansion.

After Jia Lian had breakfast, he came to Yefu to pick up Lin Huaiyu and the others.He told Lin Huaiyu what Jia Mu said yesterday.

After hearing this, Lin Huaiyu was not surprised at all.

Mrs. Ye was very upset when she heard this, "What's the matter with this old lady?"

Jia Lian said: "The old ancestor took himself too seriously."

When Lin Huaiyu heard Jia Lian say that about Jia's mother, she was so shocked that she almost choked on the tea in her mouth, "Cousin, how dare you say that about grandma."

"I'm not wrong, the old lady just takes herself too seriously." There is no Jia family here, so Jia Lian doesn't have to worry about this or that when talking. "Over the years, the old lady has the final say on the affairs of Rongguo Mansion. The old lady has regarded herself as the king of the mountain. She thinks that everyone should listen to her and follow her. If you don't follow her, you just don't listen to her."

Lin Huaiyu gave Jia Lian a thumbs up, "Your cousin speaks sharply."

"That's what I told the second uncle yesterday. The second uncle should have persuaded the old lady. You are going to go later. The old lady should not lose face."

"It doesn't matter if grandma loses face, after all, we don't live in Rongguo Mansion this time." Lin Huaiyu and the others don't care if Jia's mother loses face.

"That's right." After Jia Lian finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Jia Baoyu, and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Huai, Baoyu is still the same as before. When you see him later, he may be the same again."

"If he does the same rude things as before, don't blame me for being rude." A few years ago, they visited Rongguo Mansion for the first time, and they didn't want to make the relationship too tense, so they didn't leave immediately.If Jia Baoyu was as rude as he was a few years ago when they went to Rongguo Mansion later, they would just leave.

Jia Lian nodded and said, "You don't need to be polite to him."

After breakfast, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu followed Jia Lian to Rongguo Mansion.Before going to Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Ye told them that if the Jia family made them look bad when they arrived at Rongguo Mansion, they should leave and come back without any scruples.

With Madam Ye's words, Lin Huaiyu and the others felt more confident.

After a while, Lin Huaiyu and the others arrived at Rongguo Mansion.

As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw the boys standing at the door saluting in unison.

When they came last time, they didn't have this kind of treatment.

Jia Lian knew that Lin Huaiyu and the others were strictly following the rules, so this time he didn't allow anyone to open the main door, and led Lin Huaiyu and the others through the side door.

Coming to Rongguo Mansion again after a few years, Lin Huaiyu didn't feel as if he was in the world. Instead, he felt that Rongguo Mansion seemed a little dilapidated than it was a few years ago.

"Cousin, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Rongguo Mansion is older than it was a few years ago?"

Jia Lian also noticed this phenomenon. Hearing what Lin Huaiyu said now, he said in a complicated mood: "It's not your illusion, the mansion is indeed a bit dilapidated than it was a few years ago."

"How is this going?"

"What else can happen, the mansion has no money." Jia Lian said in a low voice, "Back then, I built a family-friendly villa for my mother, but I emptied out all the old things left in the mansion. Now that I have some money, I'm going to build the Grand View Garden. As for the government, there is no money for it for the time being."

Lin Huaiyu thought about it, and then said meaningfully: "It seems that the Rongguo Mansion is getting dilapidated faster than we thought."

Hearing this, Jia Lian immediately understood the meaning behind Lin Huaiyu's words, and a sense of sadness welled up in his heart.

"Yeah, faster than we thought."

Seeing that Jia Lian understood what he meant, Lin Huaiyu raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder lightly.

"It's useless to think too much, cousin."

Jia Lian took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "You're right, it's useless to think too much."

After a while, they finally came to Jia Mu's house.

This time, without Lin Huaiyu's telling, Jia Lian took the lead in entering Jia's mother's room.

Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu were the same as a few years ago, standing at the door waiting for Jia Lian to come back.

The servants of Rongguo Mansion still like to talk about their master as they did a few years ago.When they saw Lin Huaiyu and his sister, they were discussing something in a low voice.

When Madam Zhang heard Rongguo Mansion's servants talking about Lin Huaiyu and the others, she immediately frowned, and said with a slightly cold face, "I haven't been here for a few years, and the Rongguo Mansion's servants are still so unruly."

Xiangling comforted Nanny Zhang in a low voice: "Mommy, let them say."

Jia Lian went into the house and told Jia's mother that Lin Huaiyu and the others were coming, and they were waiting at the door.

Jia's mother asked Jia Lian to call Lin Huaiyu and the others in quickly.

At this time, all eyes in the room turned to the door.

Soon, they saw Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu walking behind Jia Lian.

The moment Lin Huaiyu walked in, the pupils of Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, Shi Xiangyun, and Jia Baoyu dilated instantly.

Not seeing each other for a few years, Lin Huaiyu has grown a lot taller.Lin Huaiyu's current height is almost 1.7 meters. Although he is still a bit short, he is considered tall among his peers. After all, he is only 13 years old and there is still a lot of room for growth.

Lin Huaiyu's facial features have also grown a lot compared to a few years ago, and some immaturity and cuteness have faded from her face.Although still a little green, but he has a calm demeanor.The facial features are more delicate and beautiful than in a few years, but because they are still a little green, they are not very sharp.

When Xue Baochai and the others saw Lin Huaiyu for the first time, the poem appeared in their minds: Accumulated stones are like jade, and pine trees are like emerald green.Lang Yan is unique and unique in the world.

Using this poem to describe Lin Huaiyu is perfect.

However, Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai thought differently.When he saw Lin Huaiyu, what was in his mind was the famous poem: Once you look at the city of people, and then you look at the country.

He felt that this song by Li Yannian was the best way to describe Lin Huaiyu.He also thinks that a beautiful woman who overwhelms the country and the city should be like his cousin.

If Lin Huaiyu knew that Jia Baoyu used the description of "a country and a city", he would probably be rude to him.

In the hearts of Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun, Lin Huaiyu grew up as they imagined, even better than they imagined.

Jiamu and the elders were also shocked by the appearance of Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu.In the past few years, Lin Huaiyu grew more and more beautiful, and Xiao Daiyu also grew more beautiful.In modern terms, the appearance of their brother and sister is the ceiling of appearance.

Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu first saluted Jia Mu solemnly, and then saluted Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue one by one.

After Lin Huaiyu and the others finished their salutes, Mother Jia waved to them and asked them to come to her.

Mother Jia held Lin Huaiyu's hand in one hand and Xiao Daiyu's in the other, and said caring words, but after a while she talked about Jia Min, and then burst into tears.

"If your mother is alive, she will be very happy to see you have such a wonderful life. It's a pity that your mother passed away early and didn't see you grow up..."

Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu didn't buy into Jiamu's forced sensationalism.A few years ago, when Jia Min first came to Rongguo Mansion, not long after Jia Min passed away, it was normal for Jia's mother to mention that she was sad and crying, but now... there is really no need.

Mother Jia held Lin Huaiyu's hand tightly, and said with tears in her eyes, "If your mother is still alive, you don't have to recognize your stepmother, it's all because your mother left early."
