Daiyu was silent for a long time before she said in a low voice, "In my heart, I still can't bear to part with him …"
Since Daiyu regarded him as a close friend and said so many heartfelt words, Baoqin had to persuade her again, "Do you really think that Jia Baoyu is a good man to entrust your life to?"
Daiyu said hesitantly, "He has a gentle temperament and a kind heart.
Although he doesn't like worldly affairs, he is very smart.
This … isn't it good enough? "
Baoqin said, "Of course he has his good points, but his temperament is too weak and affectionate. He can't carry the weight of a family on his shoulders.
It's okay to treat such a man as a friend, but as a future husband … I'm afraid it's not appropriate.
In the future, you'll have to suffer.
Moreover, his mother doesn't have a good impression of you.
I'm afraid that such a future mother-in-law may even lose your life in her hands.
Jia Baoyu doesn't dare to resist his mother at all. I'm afraid it's not possible to count on him … "
Daiyu pursed her lips and didn't say anything for a long time.
Baoqin didn't say anything more. He just stood with her and watched the spring scenery in the garden side by side.
As a friend, she had already said what she needed to say.
There was no point in continuing. People had to choose their own path. Others didn't have the right to tell others what to do.
After all, that was someone else's life.
Tired in spring, tired in autumn, and sleepy in summer. This was not a lie.
Baoqin didn't get up for a long time. He slept until almost noon before he lazily got up.
When he sat in front of the dressing table, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
He saw that the beautiful woman in the mirror had a layer of dense red pimples on her originally white and flawless cheeks.
Because there were so many pimples, it looked as if her face was disfigured. It was very scary.
At this time, Xiao Luo came in with a copper basin. When he saw Baoqin's face, he was so scared that he dropped the basin on the ground.
In an instant, the ground was covered with water stains.
Baoqin calmly looked at Xiao Luo's shocked face in the mirror and said, "Why are you panicking?
Look at you, it's like you've seen a ghost. "
Xiao Luo stuttered as she pointed at the mirror, "Miss, your face, your face …"
Baoqin stretched out his hand to touch his rough face and said, "Perhaps it's spring ringworm again. I'll be fine in a few days if I apply some rose salt."
Xiao Luo said with a worried frown, "In the past, Miss also suffered from spring ringworm. How could it be so terrible?
If it doesn't get better after a long time and the palace summons you, what should we do? "
Baoqin said indifferently, "How can there be such a coincidence?
In my opinion, it's still too early to enter the palace. "
At this time, Baochai heard the noise and came in. When he saw Baoqin's face, he was shocked, "Sister's face was fine yesterday. Why is it like this today?"
Baoqin said, "Perhaps it's spring ringworm. It's fine."
Baochai came over and found the rose salt in a small drawer. He personally applied it to Baoqin and frowned, "I see that the thing on Sister's face doesn't look like spring ringworm … It's too big."
Baoqin didn't care when he heard this, "Maybe it's caused by the climate. Sister, you don't have to worry.
Take good care of it. It'll be fine after a while. "
The two sisters were talking when Aunt Xue came in. When she saw Baoqin's face, she naturally made a fuss.
Fortunately, her mood was very calm, so Aunt Xue gradually calmed down.
They all thought that it would be fine after a while.
Aunt Xue then talked about the purpose of her visit, "Eldest Madam sent word that she intends to marry Miss Xing Xiuyan to Tada 'er.
Qin 'er, do you think this marriage will work? "
When Baoqin heard this, there wasn't a trace of joy on his face. He muttered to himself and didn't immediately speak.
However, Baochai saw through his sister's thoughts and said, "If this was in the past, it would have been possible.
However, Sister Chin is about to enter the palace. Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
Why don't we wait until the day when the tide rises and the boat rises?
Anyway, men can't withstand the waste of time like women. It doesn't matter if it's a bit late. "
Aunt Xue said, "I also have the same idea. However, Miss Xing is different from her other family members. She's mature and sensible. Moreover, her complexion is good.
It'll be a pity if we miss this opportunity. "
Baochai said, "Even so, her parents are really a pair of muddle-headed worms.
They don't have the slightest ability and are like mangy dogs.
There will be a lot of trouble in the future if we get involved with such relatives!
As the saying goes, buy a pig to look after the pen. The words are crude, but the truth is not.
Mother, don't you think so? "
When Aunt Xue and Baoqin heard Baochai's words, they couldn't help but laugh. Baoqin reached out and gently pinched Baochai's fragrant cheeks. He laughed and said, "Sister, where did you hear such words?
You're so mischievous. "
Baochai also laughed and played with Baoqin. Their laughter, like that of an oriole, echoed in Heng Wu Garden.
Coupled with the smell of countless fragrant flowers and herbs, it was really like heaven on earth.
Baochai had always been dignified. It was rare for her to indulge her feminine charms.
When Aunt Xue saw this, she felt deeply gratified.
Her husband died young and her son was a good-for-nothing.
This sensible daughter of hers really had too many burdens on her shoulders.
She also hoped that she could relax occasionally and not always live so tirelessly.
In the past, before coming to this world, Baoqin actually didn't like Xue Baochai. He always felt that she lived a fake life and was hypocritical. She wasn't as straightforward and pure as Daiyu.
Now that he really got to know her, he realized that Baochai wasn't actually a bad person.
Because of the situation at home, she had to mature prematurely and take on the burden that her brother, Xue Pan, couldn't take on.
Moreover, compared to Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun, Baochai was quite broad-minded.
She was indeed talented and knowledgeable.
After spending some time with her, Baoqin gradually developed a friendship with her.
If they didn't let her down, then she naturally wouldn't let them down.
After a few days, the people in Heng Wu Garden couldn't laugh anymore.
The reason was that the red bumps on Baoqin's face didn't get better. Instead, they were getting worse.
Baoqin had to stay in Heng Wu Garden all day and didn't dare to take a step out.
Bao Qin looked at his horrifying face in the mirror and seemed to be deep in thought.
Baochai stood behind him and tightly pursed his lips.
After a while, he looked at the mirror and said, "Qin 'er, this is definitely not spring ringworm or not acclimatized to the climate.
In my opinion, we should find a doctor to take a look at you. "
Baoqin thought for a while and shook his head, "This matter can't be spread."
Baochai asked, "Why is that?"
Baoqin said, "The reason why I can't enter the palace for the time being is because someone in the palace doesn't like me and wants to suppress me.
If news of my disfigurement spreads, I'm afraid it will become a big issue.
It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Let's just forget about it. "
Baochai said, "Then what should we do?
Are we just going to wait like this?
Your face can't be delayed any longer. If we let it continue and it gets out of hand, it'll be too late for regrets. "
Baoqin stretched out his hand and slowly touched a black jewelry box with a golden peony pattern on the dressing table. He said, "This matter needs to be considered at length. In my opinion, someone might be causing trouble, but it's not certain …"
Baochai's eyes widened when he heard this. "You mean, someone harmed you?"
Baoqin said, "I'm not sure, but it's possible."
Baochai said, "Our Heng Wu Garden has been kept in check by us. Could it be that there's a mole?"
Baoqin said, "There's no need for a mole. As long as they do something to the things that are sent here, wouldn't it be easy?"
They said that they would take care of all the things they needed in Heng Wu Garden, but some of the things that weren't easy to get had to be taken by the Jia family. However, they still paid for it.
Therefore, the members of the Xue Family were still very tough.
There was no such thing as a gift blinding the eyes.
What Baoqin guessed wasn't impossible.
Baochai thought for a while and frowned. "If that's the case, why are the rest of us fine, but you're the only one who was affected?"
Baoqin said, "If that's the case, the scope can be narrowed down.
Is there anything that I used that you didn't use? "
The two sisters were preparing to carefully check the things that they took from the Jia family. Suddenly, Xiao Luo ran over in a hurry. While running, she panted and said, "It's bad, it's bad. Miss, it's bad …"
Baochai saw Xiao Luo's flustered appearance and couldn't help but put on a serious face. "Why are you making a fuss about nothing?
You don't have any calm demeanor. Can't you learn to be calm like your Miss? "
Xiao Luo ran in front of the two girls. She didn't have time to explain herself. She hurriedly said, "It's bad. Miss, the people from the palace are here!"
What a coincidence.
How could Baoqin see the people from the palace like this?
When the time came, they would go back and add fuel to the fire. For example, Baoqin had an infectious disease or something, making her lose the qualification to enter the palace. It was hard to say.
Baochai also lost her usual calm demeanor at this time. She looked at Baoqin and said anxiously, "What should we do?
The people from the palace have come and you can't not see them. But how can you let them see you like this?
Why don't you lie in bed and pretend to be sick? "
Baoqin shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The people from the palace are either eunuchs or palace maids. When they ask to see me, should I let them see me or not?"
Baochai was anxious when she heard this. Baoqin thought for a while and said, "I've thought of a way. Let's see if it can be perfunctory.
If it doesn't work, then there's nothing we can do. "
As she said this, she walked to the side of the box and quickly found a snow-white silk scarf. She tied it behind her head and covered her face, only revealing a pair of limpid eyes that were no different from before.
After everything was done, she stepped out and said, "Let's go out and see the people from the palace."
Looking at Baoqin's unhurried back, Baochai's heart calmed down a little, but the emotions in her eyes were still worried.
