Chapter 639 Jiao Jiao: I’m no longer a human being!

Although the Jiao family's new house is much wider than an ordinary two-entry courtyard, it is far from luxurious enough to have a lot of space available as a guest courtyard.

Only a small independent courtyard was set aside as a guest room on the east side near the inner courtyard, which is less than one-third of the size of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Therefore, while Shi Xiangyun led Lin Daiyu inside, he said with some embarrassment: "Because I just came up with it on the spur of the moment yesterday, only this small courtyard at home is empty. Not to mention the place is cramped, and the interior and exterior have not been tidied up or decorated.

, please don’t blame Sister Lin for being slow to treat.”

"Don't forget, I lived in the Bi Sha cupboard for several years."

Lin Daiyu smiled nonchalantly and said: "No matter how small this yard is, can it be smaller than that Bisha cabinet?"

After a pause, he added: "Besides, although the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is good, it can't help but seem lonely..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Xiangyun's eyes sparkled and he said: "Sister, do you think so? When I was alone in Hengwu Courtyard, I felt blocked when I looked at the empty courtyard - by the way, if the master doesn't spend the night in my house

When the time comes, I might as well come find my sister to keep me company!"

After she got married, she actually wanted to talk to Ping'er or Xing Xiuyan in bed at night.

But no matter how close they are to each other as sisters, there is a distinction between superiority and inferiority. Whether a wife goes to spend the night in her aunt's house, or an aunt goes to spend the night in her wife's house, it is somewhat against the rules.

Now I heard Lin Daiyu also talk about loneliness, which was exactly what she was thinking.

Seeing the hopeful look on her face, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but smile. She remembered that it was precisely because the Xue sisters moved away that the two of them, who had suddenly lost their companions, gradually became close.

And before that, because of Jia Baoyu, the two of them were often at odds with each other...

"Sister, are you okay?"

Shi Xiangyun was speechless when he saw the smile on her lips, and couldn't help but pull her sleeves and act coquettishly.

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses and said helplessly: "I still thought you were married. This weird temperament should be restrained."

Just as he was talking, another group of people came in from outside. The leader was Ping'er. The ones below were Qingwen, Xiangling, Xiuju, and Yuchai. They were all familiar faces. There were even two embroidered faces at the end.

As soon as the little actor entered the door, his eyes met with Ou Guan's, and they were so deep in each other's eyes that they couldn't pull them out.

With so many helpers here, loading and unloading luggage and tidying up the house were all done in one go.

Seeing that it was not far from noon, Shi Xiangyun left Ou Guan and two other young actors to look after the house, and then Shi Xiangyun took Lin Daiyu to see Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything, she just said a few polite words in person, and asked Shi Xiangyun to entertain Daiyu at noon, and then hold a family banquet together in the evening when Laiwang and Jiao Shun came back.

So Shi Xiangyun set up a banquet in the hall, accompanied by Xing Xiuyan and Ping'er. The four of them had endless farewells, lamented the past, or explored the present. They drank two pots of fruit wine and had a banquet from noon to Shenshi.

[Three o'clock in the afternoon] Let's finish.

There is a saying that people will get drunk without being drunk. Although Lin Daiyu only had a few drinks, she fell into a drowsy sleep for more than an hour when she returned to the guest room.

When I woke up in a daze, not knowing what night it was or where I was, I heard a familiar voice carefully instructing the rhododendrons and snow geese to take care of everything, including firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Listening to the soft and caring voice, Lin Daiyu felt warm and sore in her chest, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Mother?!"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, she felt that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the person who heard the sound and came in from outside was actually Xing Xiuyan.

Lin Daiyu felt her face was hot. She wanted to turn over and sit up, but then she shrank back and hid most of her hibiscus powder face under the quilt. She called out weakly: "Sister Xing."

Apart from being shy, she also felt a little empty in her heart.

"My sister is awake."

Xing Xiuyan asked with a smile. Seeing that she was huddled in the quilt with no intention of getting up, and looking a little strange, she hurriedly came closer and sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her body and asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that she's sleeping here?"

Are you not used to it?"

"No, I just fell asleep."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, her rosy cheeks freed from cover.

When Xing Xiuyan saw this, he was so busy: "Why is your face so red? Are you tired? Or...are you caught in the wind?"

Speaking of the wind, she remembered that Lin Daiyu was searched when she left the house, and her face felt a little more pity. She stretched out her hand to try on Lin Daiyu's forehead, confirming that Daiyu's body temperature was normal, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

.

He added: "If you feel uncomfortable, say goodbye first. Our master and grandpa just came back. I heard that you were not awake yet, so they postponed the family dinner to tomorrow night, saying that we wanted you to have a good rest first."

"How could this happen!"

Lin Daiyu was about to get up, but was stopped by Xing Xiuyan. She mumbled sheepishly: "Zicuckoo and Xueyan didn't wake me up, it's a joke..."

"Don't worry, no one will find fault here."

Xing Xiuyan said, and then added: "The lunch we had at lunch was a little greasy. I just asked the stove to cook you some soup that nourishes the stomach and spleen, and paired it with some delicious side dishes. It should be delivered later.

Use as much of it as you can."

After a pause, he added: "Earlier in the mansion, I advised you to move more, but you always didn't listen. But I can't keep an eye on it every day. Now that I'm here, it's time to recuperate——

Our master played a game called badminton a few days ago, which is perfect for exercising your muscles at home."

"Also..."

Listening to her words one after another, all considering her own body and mind, the hollow in Lin Daiyu's chest gradually filled up with warmth, and even overflowed.

"Sister~"

She suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?"

Xing Xiuyan stopped talking and suddenly said: "Did I say too much?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head, hid half of her pretty face in the quilt, and whispered: "If my mother were still alive, she should look like my sister."

Xing Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, and then her smile became more genial. She stretched out her hand to tuck her upturned hair, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Then do you want me to sing some nursery rhymes to lull you to sleep?"

Lin Daiyu smiled coquettishly, but her autumn eyes reflected the light of hope.

Seeing her like this, Xing Xiuyan smiled, then patted her on the back and sang a Jiangnan nursery rhyme. Although Lin Daiyu did not feel sleepy, her vision gradually became hazy.

After singing a song, I suddenly heard someone cheering and applauding outside.

Xing Xiuyan turned around in surprise, only to see Ping'er walking in with a smile on her face, carrying a tray, and jokingly said: "Sister, this song is so good. If it weren't for the fear that the food would get cold, I wouldn't have the heart to disturb her."

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly stood up to greet her: "Why are you, Sister Ping'er, here to deliver food?"

Ping'er is older than Xing Xiuyan, but she entered the family later than her, and her background is not comparable, so she insists on calling Xing Xiuyan her sister.

Xing Xiuyan tried several times and found that she couldn't correct it, so she had no choice but to let her go, but she insisted on calling Ping'er her sister.

Ping'er said with a smile: "My wife and I are accompanying you. The old lady has a meal and can't spare time for a while. Naturally, I can only send it to you."

At this time, Lin Daiyu also quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, sat up and said, "Sister, I have been working for a long time, and I should be tired. Why do I need to do such things myself again?"

Xing Xiuyan hurriedly put a coat on her and took out the small Kang table that Lin Daiyu often used when she was recovering from illness, and placed it in front of Lin Daiyu.

Ping'er smiled and put the food on the table one by one, and said: "I am born to be a hard worker. I feel uncomfortable having Yindie Xiuju and two people waiting for me these days. But by chance, the girl came and finally gave me a

Opportunity to show off.”

Seeing how considerately they took care of her, Lin Daiyu said helplessly: "Sisters, why are you doing this? I'm not sick..."

"Bah, bah, bah~"

Ping'er spat several times: "You're so good, you can't say those unlucky words. Here, chopsticks and spoon."

Lin Daiyu couldn't resist the two of them, so she had to take the chopsticks and spoon, and had dinner with the two of them while chatting about family matters.

After she finished eating, she got dressed and stood up, urging: "Sisters, it's time to go eat, I have..."

"I can do it!"

At this moment, Shi Xiangyun's clear voice suddenly came from outside the door. As he approached, he saw her rushing into the house with a pile of quilts in her arms.

When Xing Xiuyan and Heping'er saw this, they hurriedly reached out to pick it up and exclaimed in surprise: "My aunt, what are you doing holding it? You're not afraid of it falling on the road!"

He also complained that Cui Lu came in with a pillow from behind and didn't know the importance of it.

Just when Cuixi was about to complain, Shi Xiangyun rushed over and said, "I want to get the big one myself. She doesn't like to move on weekdays, so she's not as strong as me."

Then, he pointed to the bed and said: "Just put it on the bed. I just took a leave of absence from the master and want to stay in bed with Sister Lin for a night chat."

After saying that, he smiled proudly at Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu could only shake her head helplessly, and then remembered Tanchun's entrustment, and said hesitantly: "I wonder if Brother Jiao is free right now?"

Shi Xiangyun said casually: "The master should be walking in the garden to eat at the moment, right? You look for him..."

Speaking of general, she suddenly remembered something, held up her slightly round chin with two green onion-like fingers and said: "By the way, you said before that you had something to pass on to him, so go ahead and I'll accompany you to see him.

he!"

With that said, he picked up Lin Daiyu and walked out.

Cuixi hurriedly threw the pillow away and chased after him.

Xing Xiuyan and Heping'er looked at each other and smiled, feeling helpless and doting at the same time.

But it was said that Shi Xiangyun took Lin Daiyu to the backyard of Zhongzhong and saw Jiao Shunzheng enlarging her breasts while walking.

"Master~"

Shi Xiangyun called out crisply, imitating his example while doing breast enlargement exercises, and walked up to him. He stuck out his lilac tongue and said with a smile: "I was just asking for leave from the master, but for a moment I forgot about the real thing."

Jiao Shun first glanced at Shi Xiangyun, who was beginning to take shape, and then glanced at the delicate Lin Daiyu, and said casually: "Miss Lin is weak, you might as well teach her the fitness moves I taught you."

After saying that, he returned to the topic: "What is this serious matter?"

"Uncle and aunt, Sister Tolin has brought you a message."

Shi Xiangyun said, looking back at Lin Daiyu and motioning for her to come forward and talk.

Lin Daiyu apologized: "Can I talk to Brother Jiao alone?"

"Um?"

Shi Xiangyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought there was some secret about Rongguo Mansion. He pointed to the living room of the main room and said, "Then you go in and talk."

Then he called Lin Hongyu from inside.

However, in order to allow Lin Daiyu to avoid suspicion, she did not go far. She just stood with people in a place where they could see the situation in the hall and chatted about domestic matters.

However, Jiao Shun and Lin Daiyu entered the room, and after the guests and hosts took their seats, they asked straight to the point: "I wonder what uncle Shi has to say?"

"actually……"

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said: "The person who really entrusted me with the message was not my uncle, but my third sister."

"Third girl?"

Jiao Shun felt suddenly, and quickly raised his concentration to listen carefully.

However, Lin Daiyu did not directly recount Tanchun's words, but started from the day when Jia Baoyu was arrested, when she happened to see Jia Yingchun trying to kill her relatives, highlighting Tanchun's helplessness and trying to weaken her act of killing her uncle.

.

Obviously, she didn't want Jiao Shun to have a grudge against Tan Chun because of this.

Although Jiao Shun had known that these three girls were decisive, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he heard that Jia She was the one who killed him.

When Lin Daiyu finished laying the groundwork and finally relayed Tanchun's original words, Jiao Shun was speechless for a long time.

Yesterday, he was still thinking about whether he should continue to break through the bottom line and be an inhumane Jiao Jiao, but today he was given a wake-up call, or an ultimatum.

Tan Chun's words clearly drew the bottom line, that is: she would never want to be a concubine, so once the Rongguo Mansion suffered a catastrophe, she would desperately launch the method of burning with both stones - the subtext was that she wanted Jiao Shun to try to find a way for her to be a concubine.

Rong Guofu excused himself.

Previously, Wang Xifeng had tried every means to force Jiao Shun to submit, but this time he really didn't dare to take it seriously.

After all, Tanchun has shown enough 'determination'!

Killing Jia She in order to save the family was one of the reasons; telling Lin Daiyu to spread the word without concealing anything was the other - in addition to showing determination, it also eliminated the hidden danger of Lin Daiyu taking her place.

Tsk~

The decisiveness shown by Tanchun is undoubtedly worthy of admiration from a bystander.

But when he thought that she was about to become his wife, Jiao Shun felt his scalp go numb.

Yes, in his current position, he definitely doesn't dare to change people, and even has to try to protect Rongguo Mansion - which is actually not that difficult for him.

As for Lin Daiyu...

Jiao Shun took a peek and confirmed again that Sister Lin had no thoughts about him at all, let alone the idea of ​​replacing Jia Tanchun.

I'm afraid she won't agree to being a concubine.

But it doesn't matter. If she doesn't like her status, then she won't be given one. The large number of women in Rongguo Mansion, plus Miaoyu and Second Sister You, all don't have official status.

Preventing yourself from stealing fragrance and jade?

Anyway, he is a consistent person and has never changed his despicable nature. If he says he covets other people's bodies, he covets other people's bodies - after all, he is not a devil if he burns someone, so what's the use of wanting someone else's soul?

But this time, in addition to coveting Lin Daiyu's body, he also coveted her reputation in the original work. Again, since he has come to the world of Red Mansions, Chai Dai must get one, right?

As for how to do it specifically...

Don't worry, after she gets familiar with this family, she will naturally have the opportunity to prescribe the right medicine through hard work.
