After Yuanyang left, Wang Xifeng smiled at Jia Lian and said, "Second Master, do you think the gift from my aunt contains that perfume?"

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Most likely, my aunt is dignified and dignified, so naturally she has to give the best gifts."

Wang Xifeng: "Ping'er, go and open the box and see if our second master's guess is correct."

Ping'er quickly stepped forward and opened the box with the help of a little maid.

Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng took a closer look and saw that the bottom layer of the box was a piece of bright and eye-catching Su embroidery. On top of the cloth, there were two brocade boxes, one large and one small.

Ping'er opened the slightly larger brocade box and found a set of exquisite porcelain inside.

When Wang Xifeng saw this, her face was slightly disappointed. Although Su embroidery and porcelain were valuable, they were not rare items for her, who came from a large Jinling family.

Ping'er then opened the smaller brocade box, and then said in surprise: "Second Master, Second Grandma, this seems to be the perfume you are talking about."

Jia Lian hurriedly reached out to take the brocade box, took out a small porcelain vase from inside, looked at it for a few times, and said with a smile: "It seems to be this thing."

Ping'er then reminded: "Second Master, there is a piece of paper in it."

Jia Lian took the paper and saw that it contained instructions for using the perfume.

He followed the instructions in the manual, opened the perfume in his hand, put it to his nose and smelled it, then smiled and said: "It is indeed perfume,"

"Second Master, show me quickly."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "This piece of paper says that after you put a little bit of perfume on your ears, the fragrance will last for a long time. Let me try it on for you."

Wang Xifeng spat shyly: "There are still people in the house, and the second master should respect him a little more."

When his wife said this, Jia Lian suddenly felt bored. He handed the bottle in his hand to Ping'er and said, "Try it for yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'll go out for a while."

Wang Xifeng was focused on the perfume and didn't pay attention to her husband's displeasure. Ping'er wanted to remind her, but Wang Xifeng pushed her and urged: "Ping'er, try it for me quickly to see if this thing is worth five dollars."

Ten taels of silver."

Ping'er held the bottle and asked doubtfully: "How should I try this?"

"Didn't the Second Master just say, "Pour a little out and apply it behind the ears."

"Grandma should do it herself."

"It's really useless."

Wang Xifeng murmured, then took the bottle and poured it onto her fingers. This time she poured a little more, and the perfume dripped down her fingers and onto her clothes.

Immediately, a strong aroma quickly spread and filled the entire room.

"ah!"

Wang Xifeng exclaimed, and then said with a look of surprise: "It's really a good thing, no wonder it can be sold for fifty taels of silver."

Ping'er said anxiously: "Grandma, your clothes are stained with perfume. How are you going to go out later?"

"It's okay, the smell will dissipate later, so it can still be this fragrant."

"But I feel like the fragrance on your clothes is getting stronger and stronger."

"This is the best. When the second master comes back, we will make a plan with him and make sure we invest in this deal."

The more Wang Xifeng talked, the happier she became, as if she saw a pile of money in front of her, waving to her.

…

In the courtyard of Mrs. Wang,

After sending the mandarin ducks away, Zhou Rui's family returned to Mrs. Wang and introduced the gifts brought by Jia Min to her.

Mrs. Wang was sitting on the soft couch, her eyes slightly closed, and the beads in her hand were gently turning. After Zhou Rui's family finished speaking, she opened her eyes and asked Zhou Rui's family: "What happened today?"

look?"

Zhou Rui's family was slightly stunned, and then asked doubtfully: "What is your wife referring to?"

Mrs. Wang: "Why do you think my aunt brought an outsider to see the old lady?"

From Zhou Rui's family: "Madam, are you saying that my aunt does this because she has some hidden meaning?"

"If my guess is correct, she wants to adopt Brother Yun."

Zhou Rui's family member suddenly said: "My aunt wants to take the person to the old lady to have a look first, and ask the old lady to help observe it."

"It must be so."

Then, Mrs. Wang asked again: "What do you think of Brother Yun?"

The Zhou Rui family member pondered for a moment and then said: "People are very smart, but they are too sincere. Even Aunt Lai was tricked by him, which shows that his scheming is terrifyingly deep."

Mrs. Wang opened her eyes and asked with a smile: "Do you think a thirteen-year-old child can have such a scheming mind?"

Zhou Rui's family asked in surprise: "Are these all arranged by my aunt in advance?"

Mrs. Wang's answer was unexpected: "She is always scheming. Since she dares to attack the younger generation of the Lai family, how can she not have the backup plan to deal with it?"

Zhou Rui's family advised: "After all, my aunt still has to go back to Yangzhou. Madam, there is no need to worry about it. Just let them go about their business."

Mrs. Wang closed her eyes again after hearing this. She was not concerned about Jia Min accepting Lin Yun as her stepson, but she was worried that when Jia Min came back this time, she would convince the old lady to transfer the Jia family's connections to her uncle Lin Ruhai. This was Something she couldn't tolerate.

…

Bisha Kitchen is where Baoyu lives.

After Jia Min and Daiyu left, Baoyu returned to his room listlessly, fell directly on the couch, and thought about his thoughts gloomily.

Xiren, the maid in his room, came over with a bowl of sobering tea and advised Baoyu, "Second Master, get up and drink some sobering tea before going to bed."

Baoyu waved his hand impatiently and said: "No, I haven't drank today, so there is no need to drink this trouble."

When Xiren was about to persuade him again, he saw Baoyu suddenly sit up and murmured to himself: "I just found out today that Sister Lin from my aunt's house and I seemed to have known each other before."

Xiren laughed and said, "Second Master is talking nonsense again. Yangzhou and Beijing are more than a thousand miles apart. How can you know Miss Lin?"

Baoyu: "You don't understand. Although some people have never met in person, their hearts are connected. Sister Lin and I are such people."

Xiren said hurriedly: "What the second master said is that you should have a sip of tea first."

Baoyu said with a look of disgust: "Idiot, you can tell at a glance that you didn't understand what I said."

After a pause, he continued: "It's a pity that Sister Lin can't live in our house forever."

Xi Xin said: "It's not because you threw the jade in front of my aunt that the old lady couldn't open her mouth to try to save her."

She thought so in her heart, but she did not dare to say it out loud, so she could only comfort her: "After the New Year, it will be the old lady's birthday. My aunt will definitely bring Miss Lin over to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

Baoyu said anxiously: "It's still early for my ancestor's birthday. How could I wait so long?"

After a pause, he continued: "Please help me think of a way. It would be best for me to see Sister Lin tomorrow."

Xiren said speechlessly: "What can I do, my aunt won't listen to me."

Baoyu was about to complain a few words when he heard the maid Qiu Wen lift the curtain and call: "Second Master, Sister Yuanyang is here."

Immediately, Yuanyang and two little maids walked in from the door holding gift boxes.

Xiren hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister Yuanyang, why are you here?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "I was assigned by the old lady to distribute the gifts brought by my aunt to various places. Baoyu's here is the last place."

Baoyu hurriedly came over and asked, "Sister Yuanyang, what do you have?"

Yuanyang turned around and pointed, saying: "They are all here. There are four treasures of the study, a jade pendant, a set of porcelain, and a piece of Suzhou embroidery. You must be the best here."

Although Baoyu was not interested in these things, the gift was given by Jia Min after all, so he still said happily: "Thank you, Sister Yuanyang."

Yuanyang: "Then you guys should rest, it's time for me to go back and deliver my errands."

Baoyu said anxiously: "Sister Yuanyang, please wait a moment."

"Do you have anything else?"

"I want to ask you, did our ancestors say when they would pick up Sister Lin to play?"

Yuanyang shook his head and said, "I didn't mention this at all. After my aunt left, the old lady rested."

Baoyu said disappointedly: "Well, sister Lin will definitely not be able to come tomorrow."

Seeing that Baoyu's madness relapsed, Yuanyang couldn't help laughing and said: "If you want to see Miss Lin, you can go to the Lin Mansion to visit."

Baoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, he clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Yes! Sister Lin can't come, I can go over and visit my aunt, that's all."

Yuanyang: "Okay, it's time for me to go back."

"Sister Yuanyang, walk slowly."

…

Yuanyang returned to Jia Mu and saw that the old lady had gotten up.

She quickly stepped forward and reported the distribution of gifts to the old lady. Finally, she also told the old lady that Baoyu wanted to visit Sister Lin in the Lin Mansion.

After hearing this, Jia Mu sighed and said, "I originally planned to keep Yu'er and let her be with Baoyu as a companion. Who would have thought that something like that happened, which makes it difficult for me to speak again."

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao is still young after all, so my aunt will not take this matter to her heart."

"I hope so."
