Chapter 223: Red Mansion: I am Baochai’s wet nurse (4)
Baoyu immediately responded obediently: "I know, Grandpa."
But he was staring at the screen, waiting for the new sister to come in.
Seeing his stupid look, Daiyu felt uncomfortable.
They are the same age, but in his heart, it seems that only Yu is the most important and he is nothing.
Thinking of my grandmother's careful instructions just now, I felt even more uncomfortable.
The day I first arrived, I was frightened by Baoyu to the point of nearly losing my soul.
Now it seems that it was just making wedding dresses for others.
My eyes were hot, but when I thought about meeting the guests, I didn't dare let myself cry. I could only hold it back, feeling sad.
Xin Guoguo followed Baochai in and immediately saw the little girl sitting aside, looking aggrieved.
After all, he is the child who grew up by my side.
Although they were in different dimensions, Xin Guoguo couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw Daiyu's pitiful appearance.
In that life, she raised this little girl carefully.
How could she have felt so wronged now?
She pursed her lips, glanced coldly at the kind-hearted Lady Jia and the gentle Mrs. Wang, and snorted in her heart.
This Jia family is as annoying as ever!
Baochai paid her respects to Lady Jia and others, and also to several of her sisters.
Xin Guoguo took out the gift prepared by Baochai and handed it to Baochai.
Baochai was the first to walk up to Daiyu:
"This fairy-like sister must be the jade sister of the Lin family.
"This is the gift I prepared for my sisters. Take a look and see if you like it. If not, I will prepare some later."
Baochai still remembers her nanny's request!
This is the first time that Mammy begged her!
Besides, this sister does look lovable.
Daiyu didn't expect that Baochai would let her be the first to choose.
She looked up in surprise, her watery eyes looking bright and lively.
Baochai felt as if she had been struck by a profound blow.
Mammy, this little sister is so cute!
?
Baochai's eyes sparkled, and she stuffed the entire gift box into Daiyu's arms:
"Sister, take a look. If you don't like it, I'll have someone send it back!"
She wants such a cute sister!
Daiyu hugged the box blankly, looking at her sister's excited expression, she felt a little at a loss for what to do.
Xin Guoguo wanted to cover her face.
Ever since she let herself go, Baochai's obsession with looks has been rising rapidly.
She hurried over, supported Daiyu, and whispered:
"Don't be afraid, Miss Lin. We girls have no ill intentions."
This strange yet familiar voice made Daiyu's eyes warm.
She looked up blankly at the person who was supporting her.
It was clearly a strange face, but looking at the kindness in her eyes, Daiyu felt inexplicably aggrieved and wished she could throw herself into her arms immediately.
The tears that I had been holding back for so long suddenly fell.
It also brought her back to her senses.
Daiyu quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and raised the corners of her lips in panic: "Thank you, Madam, thank you, sister."
Seeing her beautiful sister crying, Baochai felt like her heart was broken.
She held her sister's hand and said, "Don't cry, sister. Such beautiful eyes should be smiling."
Daiyu chuckled and said, "Sister, can you speak nonsense?"
"How can this be nonsense? This is what I really mean! You are going to hurt me by saying this.
"No, no, my sister has to live with me and coax me every day, only then will I get better!"
As she said this, she seemed to remember something, and she smiled shyly and bowed to Lady Jia.
"Please forgive me, old ancestor. I forgot everything when I saw my beautiful sister. Please don't be angry with me."
Grandmother Jia also laughed: "Miss Bao is of a true nature."
"I wonder where Sister Yu lives now? Is it possible to let her live with me?"
Mrs. Wang was naturally eager for this arrangement. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Grandmother Jia say with a smile:
"I'm afraid it won't work. Daiyu and Baoyu are now living together in my green gauze cabinet. There's no room for anyone else here."
Baochai showed just the right amount of surprise:
"Ah? Living together? But I heard Baoyu is already eight or nine years old now, so... let Sister Yu live with me!"
Wouldn’t Lady Jia know that it’s inappropriate for the two of them to live together?
But no one mentioned this matter, so everyone just pretended not to remember it.
Now that Baochai mentioned this, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Grandmother Jia's face.
Wang Xifeng sneered in her heart. The old lady always said that she attached great importance to rules, but in fact, she was the one who had the least rules in the mansion.
She stepped forward and said, "It's my fault. I've been too busy these days. The old ancestor had already told me to prepare a yard for Miss Lin. Now it was my cousin who reminded me."
Grandmother Jia walked along the steps and glared at her: "You can forget such an important thing, you deserve to be punished!"
"Okay, okay! You can punish me however the ancestor wants!"
The two of them joked around and smoothed over the matter.
Baoyu was dissatisfied.
It’s fine that Sister Xin doesn’t live with me, but why is Sister Lin moving away too?
"Grandfather, I want to live with Sister Lin too!"
"Baoyu, stop making trouble!"
Now there are not only people from their family here, but also people from the Xue family!
Even if Grandmother Jia doted on Baoyu, she couldn't do as he wished at this moment.
When Baoyu saw that the old ancestor had a gloomy face, he immediately stopped making trouble. He pouted his little mouth and sat aside obediently.
Xin Guoguo sneered inwardly.
Look, isn’t this correct?
I am the kind of person who knows how to act based on others' moods.
Otherwise, why didn't he do anything wrong in front of Jia Zheng in the original novel?
Ah!
Baochai glanced at Baoyu coldly, and in her heart she agreed with what the nanny had said before.
She smiled and pulled Daiyu up:
"Sister, come with me. Let's give the gifts to the sisters first, and then you can come back with me!"
Daiyu was touched, but she couldn't help blushing at Baochai's warm treatment:
"it is good."
Baochai: ?＾▽＾?
My sister looks even cuter when she blushes!
The gift Baochai prepared was a few palace flowers.
The palace flowers are complex in style and are the most luxurious one besides tribute.
Daiyu picked a light green one.
She is still in mourning and cannot wear bright colors.
Baochai helped her put it on, then took her along to give gifts to other sisters, and then took her to sit with her.
After they chatted and laughed for a while, Grandmother Jia felt a little tired, so she asked Wang Xifeng:
"Have you prepared the yard for Miss Xue?"
Wang Xifeng smiled and replied, "You are too worried, old lady. Are you still worried about me doing things? I have already packed everything and am waiting for my cousin to move in!"
"Which yard?"
"It's Lixiangyuan, not far from the second gate."
Grandmother Jia frowned: "Why is it arranged so far away?"
From that day on, it became inconvenient for Daiyu and Baoyu to move around.
Wang Xifeng knew what she meant and just smiled and replied:
"My cousin brought a lot of people and things with her, and she has to take care of things outside. When my aunt and Pan'er come to Beijing, it would be best if Lixiangyuan can lead directly to the outside."
Grandmother Jia also knew this was the case, but she still felt uncomfortable.
She nodded, looking weary:
"In that case, you can make the arrangements. I'm tired, you guys go first."
The group bowed and left.
Xue Baochai directly pulled Daiyu and said, "Sister, come on, I'll help you pack your things and move in with me now!
"Let me tell you, I brought a lot of good stuff with me! I heard from my second uncle that your family is not bad, so I guess you brought a lot of good stuff with you to Beijing, right?
"You can't be stingy later, you have to let me have a good look!"
These words were heard clearly by Jia Mu and others, and their faces changed instantly.
