[I will make up for the six thousand words tomorrow.]

It's evening.

When coming out of the palace, Mrs. Wang specifically asked Xue Baochai to ride with her.

I originally wanted to say something on the way, but when the words came to my lips, I felt that nothing was appropriate.

You can't make things clear, can you?

Then what face do you have as a mother-in-law?

Mrs. Wang didn't speak, and Xue Baochai was even less in the mood to initiate a conversation, so the journey became dull and lengthy. When the car finally heard the Neiyi Gate approaching, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Baochai helped Mrs. Wang out of the car. One of them wanted to go back to the Qingtang hut in the Grand View Garden, and the other wanted to transfer to the front yard residence. Seeing that they were about to separate, Mrs. Wang finally said: "When I get back, I will get off to Chang Qing."

Post."

There was no wave in the ancient well on Xue Baochai's face, as if he heard it, but also as if he didn't.

Mrs. Wang's upper lip moved again, but in the end she just warned: "It's been a tiring day, so you should rest early."

Then they parted ways with Xue Baochai in front of Neiyi Gate.

Xue Baochai watched her enter the two-door corridor, sighed secretly, and then returned to her residence silently.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a servant woman carrying a lantern to greet me. She said cautiously: "Grandma, a letter has arrived from the second master."

After Fuling's team heading south arrived at Jinling, they sent home a letter as soon as possible. However, because they had to repair the tomb, arrange for the old lady's burial, and deal with the affairs of the Jinling clan, the letter was very brief and just

Just a simple report of safety.

Now the matter should have come to an end, so I sent a second wave of letters home.

Xue Baochai raised his eyebrows and became more and more irritable as he looked at the letter from the servant girl.

Why did it happen at this time?

It was already chaotic enough, but Pian Baoyu jumped out to add to the chaos!

To be honest, Xue Baochai didn't want to read this letter from home. Baoyu's mood has never been very stable. No one can guarantee what he wrote in this letter - if it is a sincere confession or a confession of the pain of lovesickness, it is a done deal.

How should she deal with it?

But after all, we still have to read the letters sent home from all the way.

"It's time to work."

She stretched out her hand to take the book, turned around and told Ying'er: "Go and get two slings of money for this sister."

The servant woman was relieved and asked, "How could this happen?" She accepted the reward money with great ease.

Baochai said a few perfunctory words, then took the family letter into the inner room, turned it over and over by the candlelight for a long time, then took the paper knife and prepared to open it and read it.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard reports from outside that an attacker was coming.

After Tanchun entered the palace, the attacker was in a state of letting go, and she received some cold treatment and ostracism in private. Fortunately, she was a smart person, and the servant didn't dare to go too far after all, so she didn't cause any trouble.

Trouble is coming.

I don't know the reason for her sudden visit at this time.

Xue Baochai put down the family letter in his hand, got up and went outside. He saw Xiren lowering his eyebrows and smiling apologetically. He was saying something to Ying'er, but Ying'er just ignored him with a straight face.

After learning that Xiren has turned to the third girl and is very likely to be married to the Jiao family, Ying'er should have changed her mind, but who would let her own girl have an affair with Uncle Jiao?

Doesn't this mean that Xiren first took the lead with Master Jia, and then turned around and took the lead with Master Jiao?

How could she get all the benefits by herself?!

With such a mood, Ying'er naturally wouldn't give Xiren a good look.

With a hot face and a cold butt, Xiren was a little unable to say anything. When he saw Xue Baochai coming out from the inner room, he immediately felt like he was being pardoned and hurriedly stepped forward to pay homage to 'grandma'.

Xue Baochai waved his hand, pointed at his hands and said: "Sit down and talk - you came to me so late, but what's the important thing?"

"I don't know if it's important."

Xiren took out a thick envelope from his sleeve, handed it to Baochai with both hands, and explained: "This is the letter sent back by Master Bao. It is for me and Sheyue by name. Because I don't know who I am."

I asked my grandma to help me read these many words. After reading them, my grandma said that I must forward them to grandma for her review."

Seeing the thick envelope, Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize what the attacker had said.

So he took it, pulled out the letter paper with some difficulty, and while flipping through the pages, asked casually: "What else did grandma say?"

Xiren thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything else."

Xue Baochai nodded, said nothing more, and began to read carefully.

But I found that this letter was a bit scattered. Part of it was about the hardships of leaving, and part of it was about what I saw and heard during this trip to the south. The two were not separated, but interspersed with each other from time to time, and sometimes mixed with each other.

A few poems and sentiments of unknown meaning.

Soon, an incident described in the letter attracted Xue Baochai's attention.

The Zhen family was ransacked!

According to Baoyu's words in the letter and Xue Baochai's own speculation, the Zhen family was probably implicated in the Wang Ziteng case, and then was found guilty of some crimes, and finally ended in disgrace.

In the letter, Jia Baoyu used a lot of space to describe the situation before and after the Zhen family mansion was raided. He also mentioned the episode when he went to visit Zhen Baoyu and cried with her across the railing.

Then comes a long period of life insights, as well as a disdain and boredom for fame and wealth.

This paragraph alone is mixed with five or six specious Buddhist verses.

The Buddhist verses written by Baoyu before were more about yearning for transcendence from the world of mortals, but these few poems reveal a strong sense of world-weariness - obviously witnessing the collapse of the Zhen family with his own eyes gave him a great shock.

This may be the reason why Li Wan asked Xi Ren to present it to him for inspection.

But what Baochai cares about most right now is not Baoyu's world-weary tendency, but...

He folded up more than twenty pages of letter paper again and stuffed it back with great effort. Looking at the bulging envelope, Xue Baochai fell silent again.

"grandmother?"

Xiren waited for a long time and saw that she was just staring at the envelope in a daze, so he finally couldn't help but remind her.

"oh."

Only then did Baochai come back to her senses, and immediately stood up and said, "Just leave this letter with me for now. I might ask my wife to read it tomorrow."

Xiren naturally did not dare to object, and seeing that Baochai wanted to see off the guests, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

After the attacker left, Xue Baochai took the letter into the inner room and placed it side by side with the letter written to him.

I saw one lying flat and stable on the coffee table, while the other had its four corners raised and was round and round as if it was about to explode.

Although the number of words may not necessarily be better than the number of words, Jia Baoyu's letter to the maid was eloquent and written thousands of words, but the letter to his family only had two or three pages. This comparison still made Baochai feel chilled again.

Even if the love inside is long and short, I'm afraid it will leave people a lot less touched.

What's more, judging from those world-weary Buddhist verses, the content of the letter is probably completely opposite to what I originally guessed...
Chapter completed!
