Rongqing Hall, inside the three wing rooms in the east wing.

After Jia Yun left the house, Xue Baochai fell silent.

Shi Xiangyun was the most lively. He stepped forward with a smile on his face and joked: "Sister Bao, why are you so distracted? Maybe my eldest nephew is gone!"

Everyone covered their mouths and snickered, looking at Xue Baochai jokingly. After all, Xue Baochai was always dignified and virtuous. Isn't it strange that a nephew suddenly appeared and made Xue Baochai lose his mind...

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at Shi Xiangyun when she heard this. She was just thinking about whether she should discuss matters with Jia Yun about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. She had discussed it with Aunt Xue and others before, and Xue Pan was the one to discuss it, but Xue Pan couldn't stay idle at home all day.

I was drinking and listening to a show again. It seemed that I had completely forgotten all the important things. I was quite happy and reluctant to miss Shu. I thought about the bleak business of the Xue family, and I was worried that I had lost my mind...

So Xue Baochai said angrily: "You girl, what are you talking nonsense about? You also know that he is the eldest nephew, and he is still talkative. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will tear your mouth to pieces."

When Daiyu heard this, she laughed and said: "In terms of seniority, it is natural that we are aunt and nephew, but in terms of lineage and blood relationship..."

"Zi'er, there's nothing to say. If you put it this way, wouldn't you be suitable?" Xue Baochai counterattacked, obviously not wanting Lin Daiyu to continue talking.

Lin Daiyu blushed when she heard this, and said with a "humph": "The eldest nephew likes Concubine Yang to be as plump and timid, but Sister Bao is suitable. Oh, by the way, let me tell my eldest nephew tomorrow.

He is worthy of a piece of jade."

Previously, Jia Yun said that she was delicate, but Lin Daiyu always kept it in mind. Since she doesn't like delicate people, she must like plump ones.

Shi Xiangyun on the side seemed quite puzzled and asked: "Why match it with a piece of jade?"

Lin Daiyu laughed and said: "What a stupid thing! People have said that those with gold can only find someone with jade to match them. Since the eldest nephew has no jade, he will bring one with him, and he is afraid that the one with gold will not follow...

"

Xue Baochai looked pale. This was not because of the theory of gold matching jade, but because Lin Daiyu said that she was plump. During the Qian Dynasty, slimness was regarded as beauty, and plump bodies were not favored. She was not selected for the post of praising talented people. There are also such reasons here.

, Lin Daiyu said that she was plump, which undoubtedly touched Xue Baochai's heart.

If Jia Yun is here, it is really just a joke.

The so-called plumpness is a relative term. There is an old saying: "The wind is shaking on the Qingyun Mountains, and the water is blowing by the tender willow pond." This describes Concubine Yang.

Judging from the poem, although Yang Yuhuan is fat, that is the view of contemporary people. In fact, Yang Yuhuan is as light as a swallow. Although he cannot dance on a gold plate, he is not bloated.

Xue Baochai is compared to Yang Fei, and there is not much difference. The original work also mentions that Xue Baochai is learned and talented, as beautiful as a flower, and has a plump figure. She is better than Yang Yuhuan in the past, and her actions are steady and elegant.

However, times are different, and naturally there are different standards. A person with a slim waist like Lin Daiyu is the "right way".

Lin Daiyu was also extremely smart. She seemed to have noticed Xue Baochai's unswerving look. Remembering that her words were a little harsh, she stepped forward and hugged Xue Baochai's arms and said coquettishly: "Sister Bao, sister, I was just joking.

, don’t be angry.”

Xue Baochai sighed when he heard this. They are all sisters. Who doesn't know Lin Daiyu's eloquence? He said angrily: "You, if you keep making jokes, your mouth will be torn apart."

After saying that, Xue Baochai turned his head and looked at Shi Xiangyun, and explained: "Brother Yun is just helping my brother, and there is nothing else. How can it be wrong in your mouth?"

After a pause, he continued: "I dare not think that the first one was so happy when I saw her, but I thought she was beautiful."

Xue Baochai's words immediately made all the girls laugh, especially Lin Daiyu, who was nestled in Xue Baochai's arms. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and she fell down. Fortunately, Xue Baochai held her up, otherwise she would have fallen over laughing.

The girls who were exploring the spring, welcoming the spring, and celebrating the spring were laughing so hard that they started clapping their hands.

Shi Xiangyun blushed at first. Seeing that the sisters didn't know how to restrain themselves, Shi Xiangyun suddenly became angry. Shi Xiangyun put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily: "What's so funny? What's so funny about this?"

Lin Daiyu raised her eyes and looked at Shi Xiangyun, and said with a smile: "This is a good thing. Our girl Yun is getting older, so we have to put on a show to celebrate."

After saying this, he laughed unscrupulously and the branches of the flower trembled.

Seeing that the girls were still laughing, Shi Xiangyun was so angry that his tears were filled with rage. He grabbed Lin Daiyu, who was laughing the most happily, put his hand into Lin Daiyu's waist, and scratched her: "Let you laugh, let you

laugh!"

Lin Daiyu resisted and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, Girl Yun, I won't laugh anymore..."

After fighting for a while, Lin Daiyu's face turned red. The maid Zijuan on the side helped Lin Daiyu tidy up her somewhat messy clothes. She was obviously going too crazy.

Shi Xiangyun let out a "hum" and was quite unhappy with the sisters in front of her for seeing her joke.

Seeing that the "commotion" was almost over, Xue Baochai pondered for a moment and told Shi Xiangyun: "Girl Yun, please don't make fun of me in the future. Brother Yun is not easy to get along with."

Shi Xiangyun was startled when he heard this. It seemed that her sister Bao didn't have a good impression of her eldest nephew. After thinking for a moment, Shi Xiangyun said doubtfully: "I see that Brother Yun is quite kind, and he talks very interestingly. How can I not

Is it easy to get along with?"

Xue Baochai didn't take it seriously when she heard this. In her opinion, Jia Yun was quite cold and not a good man.

It's not that Jia Yun had to ask for a favor before Xue Pan's matter was dealt with, but she was keenly aware of the indifferent relationship between Jia Yun and the Jia family.

Jia Yun is the counselor leader of the Arch Guard Department. Logically speaking, he should be a person valued by the Jia family and be loved by these elders.

But look at the current situation. Jia Yun moved out of the Duke's Mansion immediately after he took office, and rarely had contact with the Duke's Mansion. Secondly, there seemed to be rumors that Jia Yun was at odds with his former father, Jia Zhen, and his son, so they had an affair.

One thing, rather than the pity that there is no one in the seventh room as rumored outside.

Coupled with Mrs. Wang's warning words to her mother, it all shows that Jia Yun and Jia's family seem to be inseparable.

How can a person who doesn't care about the righteousness of his clan not be cold and desolate...

It's just that Xue Baochai understands the truth here, but he doesn't say it directly. These words can easily offend people.

Xue Baochai chuckled and drank tea without answering...

Lin Daiyu on the side was obviously curious and said, "I see that Brother Yun is also a kind person, not as surly as others say."

Although things in Rongqing Hall are strictly forbidden to be kept secret, there are always other gossips, such as the person from Wang Shanbao's family...

Shi Xiangyun nodded when he heard this, and said: "He seems to be a rough man, but his behavior is still somewhat bookish and sensible."

Yingchun pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Yun was devoted to studying when he was young in Dongfu. I heard that people below laughed at him for being a nerd.

I don’t know why, but I suddenly went to the military to gain qualifications. Now that I have such a good fortune, it is a blessing after all the hardships."

Although Jia Yun made quite a fuss back then, it was in the Ningguo Duke's Mansion. These aunts were either still young or not yet in the mansion, and those who were like Yingchunxiao, because they lived in the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, were not familiar with the situation.

I really don’t know much about Ning Guogong’s affairs.

As for the servants who knew about these things, they had long kept their mouths shut. These servants were all the sons of the Jia family, and their lives were in the hands of the Jia family. For the sake of their own lives, they did not dare to talk nonsense.

Listening to Yingchun's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Even Xue Baochai was very complimentary. Not to mention others, among the meritorious disciples, very few were able to go to the border to gain qualifications, and they stayed there for four years before returning to Beijing.
