Chapter 329: Jade Breaking

In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu felt very regretful because he had offended Daiyu at Tiekan Temple. After returning home in the evening, he quickly went to Daiyu to apologize.

But it has no effect.

No, in the early morning, just after breakfast, he sneaked into Daiyu's room again, ready to beg for mercy again.

Daiyu was feeling depressed at that time. The pair of squirrel pups given to her by Jia Lian two years ago have grown up, but not long ago, one of them suddenly became ill.

Daiyu took care of her in every possible way, but to no avail.

When I woke up this morning, I found that he was becoming more and more lethargic and dying. He saw that there was not much time left.

Daiyu quickly released it and took care of it on the desk, hoping that it could turn the crisis around.

When the maid Zicuckoo saw Daiyu's appearance, she couldn't help but persuade her not to be too sentimental.

But seeing that Daiyu didn’t pay much attention to these words, she thought about it, walked to Daiyu, sat down and said: "Speaking of which, Second Master Bao treats the girl as much as the girl treats Yu. Nu' and 'Yujiao' are generally attentive, why doesn't the girl give him a good look?

Last night, Mr. Bao asked the girl for mercy in such a low voice, and the girl didn't pay attention to him. It's really not right. "

" Yunu, Yujiao, is the name Daiyu gave the two squirrels in private.

At the beginning, Daiyu could not tell the gender of the two squirrels. After the squirrels grew up, Daiyu did some research and other people’s experience, and finally determined that Jia Lian sent The two squirrels given to her were both female.

Hence these two names were given.

When Daiyu heard that Zijuan sent her, she snorted and ignored her.

Seeing this, Zijuan continued to smile and said: "Speaking of which, our second master Bao was originally a devil-like figure at home, but since the girl came, he has changed.< br />
Because the girl has lost her mother, Mr. Bao is afraid that the girl will be wronged in our family. Whenever he gets something good, he always gives it to the girl first.

The girl doesn’t want it anymore. Only then can he dare to give it to others.

Given his feelings for the girl, the girl shouldn’t always be indifferent to others.”

Daiyu heard this and felt in her heart There was a brief pause, and then he said angrily: "Since he is so kind, why don't you stop being a maid for me? How about I go ask the old lady to send you to his room? This can be regarded as repaying his kindness. !

I don’t know what benefits he has given you, so that you can always say good things about him in my ears, hum.”

Zicuckoo laughed.

Jia Baoyu did not do her any favors. The reason why she did this was actually for Daiyu's sake.

Jia Baoyu was the darling of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. In the past, no one in the house dared to offend her.

Although Daiyu is Jia Mu’s granddaughter, in the final analysis, she is still an outsider in this family.

Nowadays, Jia Baoyu is not given any affection. If Jia Mu and others see it, they will feel unhappy, which will not be a good thing for Daiyu.

That’s why she wanted to persuade Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to reconcile.

Of course, there is no need for Zijuan to say this to Daiyu, as it seems to be a favor. She chuckled, acting like a big sister, and tolerated Daiyu's choking words, and said with a smile: "Girl, don't say angry words, Second Master Bao, not to mention many others, is considered very good among the young masters of the aristocratic families in Beijing. .

The girl is also a smart person. Let’s take a quick look, which prince and grandson can be so humble and tolerant towards girls?

Just look at Miss Bao My brother, Uncle Xue, was said to beat and scold the maids and boys in the house. For this, Sister Bao and her aunt told him many times, but they didn't take it seriously.
< br />Only Mr. Bao, others say he is too soft-hearted and pitiful. It can be seen that Mr. Bao is a rare person.

Besides, the old lady..."

When Zicuckoo said this, she suddenly stopped talking.

What she just wanted to say was that no matter how good Jia Baoyu is, the old lady feels sorry for you two and will definitely marry you in the future...

But it’s very difficult. Obviously, before Jia Mu expressed her position, even if everyone could guess what Jia Mu was thinking, she, a little maid, would not dare to reveal it first.

Daiyu was moved by Zijuan’s words and didn’t pay attention to Zijuan’s expression.

She admitted that Zijuan was right, Jia Baoyu was indeed nice to her, even flattering her.

But what does this prove? It’s just to see how good-looking you are.

Isn’t that how he treats the maids and maids in their house, as well as any other good-looking girls?

She would rather not have such flattery.

He took advantage of the girls openly and did some shameful bad things...

Several times, he even wanted to Just like how he treats girls, he held her hand and took the opportunity to belittle her... If she hadn't remembered brother Lian's teachings and guarded against the difference between men and women, he might have succeeded.

Thinking like this, Daiyu, who is eager to defeat Zicuckoo, justWithout thinking too much, he opened his mouth and said: "No matter how good he is, what does it have to do with me? Besides, is he better than Brother Lian?" Don't really care.

Anyway, she really felt that Jia Lian, her cousin, was truly respectable.

Brother Lian also cares about her and loves her, but he always behaves well and respects her cousin. Even when he was in Suzhou, when he carried her on horseback and rode up the mountain, and when he sent her to Beijing thousands of miles away, he didn't have any bad feelings for her...

Thinking of this, Daiyu's little face On my face, a hint of blush suddenly flashed across my face.

Zicuckoo was dumbfounded. What's going on? Why is the girl so shy when she mentions Mr. Lian?

Zijuan is also very clear about the relationship between Jia Lian and Daiyu.

That is a mature and steady cousin who takes full care of his lost cousin. Even though Jia Lian rarely came to talk to Daiyu, everyone in the house probably knew that Mr. Lian had always been looking at this guest cousin.

In terms of love for the girl, she only takes a little less daily action than the old lady.

This makes the girl respect him very much.

The girl has a cold temperament, but in front of Mr. Lian, she appears to be well-behaved and sensible.

"Second Master Lian is naturally very good, better than anyone else, but..."

But, silly girl, how can these two people be compared together? ?

No matter how good Mr. Lian is, he can only take care of you before the girl leaves the court.

But what about Mr. Bao, he is the person who will live with you for the rest of your life...

"But what?"

Daiyu Cool question. Seeing Zijuan admit that Jia Lian is better than everyone else is equivalent to admitting that she was wrong to say that Jia Baoyu is better than everyone else.

Therefore, she no longer bothered with Zicuckoo. She glanced at the sick Anu, sighed helplessly, pulled out the drawer, picked up the needlework she had just started inside, and started doing it.

　“...Hey, it’s rare to see a girl do this. What did she do this time?”

　“It’s nothing, just for fun.”

Zicuckoo is, after all, the person who serves Daiyu personally. Looking back on the past two days, Daiyu was rummaging around the house looking for flowers, thinking that this was what she wanted to do.

Based on the pattern, she also guessed, "Is this a glove made by the girl? Looking at the pattern, could it be that it was made for Mr. Lian again?"

"I want you to talk more, if you keep talking more,I will kick you out. ”

Daiyu’s face was slightly red, and she scolded Zicuckoo because she lacked the confidence.

Knowing that Jia Lian was going to send his bride to the outside of the Great Wall, she was very worried, but she didn’t know what she could do for Jia Lian. Do something.

I can only think that the gloves I gave Jia Lian to keep out the cold outside the Great Wall were either lost or old. In this case, why not make another pair for him.

This is the only way to do it. Even if you are sending things, you cannot give them randomly. Only this can express her feelings without being easily misunderstood.

The master and the servant were whispering in the private room. , Unexpectedly, all their previous words were heard by Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu stood blankly at the door of the room, with tears in his eyes.

He I felt very painful in my heart. I didn’t expect that I was so insignificant in Daiyu’s heart.

Daiyu could turn a blind eye to all his kindness to Daiyu!

Instead, compare him with Jia Lian. The key is that he can't compare!!

Jia Baoyu prides himself on being refined, but he is a man after all. How can he admit that he is inferior to other men? Especially , or in the heart of the girl he cares about most!

No one knows the heartbreak and despair he felt when he heard Daiyu say that he could not compare with Jia Lian.
/>
In the eyes of the common people, he is no better than Jia Lian. Why does Daiyu think so?

Although the second brother Lian has his own system of behavior, the fundamentals are , they are just those high-achieving, well-off people who work hard, how can they be compared with such a fresh and refined young master like him?

He does not seek wealth, fame or fortune. I just want to live for my daughter’s family, protect them, and accompany them...

Isn’t this ten thousand times better than a commoner like Jia Lian? Lin Daiyu, I wasted my time to recognize her as a confidant. I thought she was also a confidant. For someone who doesn’t go along with the secular world, who would have thought that I had misjudged her.

I was feeling sad, and the discussion about “gloves” between the master and the servant came to my ears, which made me even more sad. His mood was even worse.

She made something for Brother Lian again...

It had been two years, but she had not made anything specifically for herself.< br />
Although there are a few things of hers in his box, they are just ordinary things that Daiyu made and didn’t want, and he got them with all his hard work and entanglement.

Comparing it again and again, wouldn’t I have become a joke?

Jia Baoyu, who was as sad as death, originally wanted to leave this sad threshold silently. But the unwillingness in his heart prompted him toHe stepped through the door step by step, staring at Daiyu on the desk.

Zijuan was talking to Daiyu when she suddenly saw Daiyu looking ahead with a frown on her face. She turned around and saw Jia Baoyu, got up quickly and smiled and said, "Hey, is Mr. Bao here? The girl is in a good mood now. Master Bao, please talk to her and I will get you some tea."

Faced with Zicuckoo's enthusiasm, Jia Baoyu changed from his previous gentle and polite attitude.

He paid no attention to Zicuckoo. He just stared at Daiyu stupidly and murmured, "Why?"

Daiyu saw Jia Baoyu. Suddenly came in from the door, and from the look of the other party, he guessed that Jia Baoyu might have heard something she and Zijuan said.

She still felt a little guilty, but seeing Jia Baoyu being so rude and questioning her when they met, Daiyu immediately lost her temper.

Tossing her head, Daiyu said coldly: "Why why? Second Master Bao is so overbearing. He broke into my room without saying a word and stared at me like this... It was the same at Tiekan Temple yesterday. Could it be that I came to your house just to see your face?"

As she said this, Daiyu felt aggrieved, and she shed tears at the drop of a hat. .

Jia Baoyu was stunned, how could she be like this? It was clearly her who hurt me, so why did she feel wronged first? For a moment, I felt strangely angry in my heart, and asked: "Let me ask you, how can I be inferior to others?

Even if I am not good for a thousand days, there will be one day, okay? Since the girl came to our house After I came here, day and night, the only thing I thought about was the girl. I was afraid that the girl would be wronged, so I often came to accompany the girl to relieve her boredom.

I was afraid that the old ladies and others would not be able to take care of them. What kind of thing did you miss? When did you not tell the old lady and ask someone to make up for it?

For so many years, we have eaten at the same table and slept on the same bed. I originally thought that I was the one who understood girls best. Who knows the girl best? You know, I paid my sincerity wrongly. I never expected that the girl would abuse me like this behind my back!"

Jia Baoyu said that he was wronged and burst into tears.

When Daiyu heard this, she was filled with sadness and grievances and had nowhere to say anything!

Yes, Jia Baoyu helped her a lot and helped her add and take away things in the house. She was grateful.

However, when Jia Baoyu spoke so directly at this time, it seemed that this was a charity from his master to her who was living under someone else's roof.

Also, why eat at the table and sleep on the bed? It's true to eat at the same table. Jia Mu basically has several granddaughters and granddaughters, plus Jia Baoyu, eating at the same place.

But sleeping in one bed is just Jia Baoyu’s nonsense!

ThisAt that time, he even used words to slander her and destroy her innocence.

Even in the winter when they first came to Jia's house, she and Jia Baoyu both lived in Jia Mu's house, one sleeping in the blue gauze cupboard and the other sleeping in the outside room. Not to mention that now, Jia Mu has already allocated houses to her grandchildren and added her own wives and girls to serve them.

So when Jia Baoyu finished speaking, she raised her eyes and tried hard to keep herself from being forced down by Jia Baoyu. She scolded in a sweet voice: "If you damn dare to talk nonsense again, who will be the same as you?" Eat at the table and sleep on the same bed?

If you talk nonsense here again, I will tell my uncle and aunt to go and accuse you of bullying me."

Daiyu is only ten years old after all. The one or two-year-old girl, who was a guest again, was still a little afraid and humble when facing Jia Baoyu, who was a little out of control, so she could only move out Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to scare him.

It really works.

Jia Baoyu’s spirit was shaken, and his eyes instantly became clearer.

Zicuckoo, who had just returned from pouring tea, didn't know that just a few steps away, the two cousins ​​were already quarreling like a pair of black-eyed chickens, and they rushed to persuade Jia Baoyu.

"Okay, Mr. Bao, please calm down. It turns out that the girl has been in a bad mood recently. Her Anu is very sick, so Mr. Bao will come back later."

Zijuan tried to persuade Jia Baoyu to leave first, with a calm attitude.

Who knew that her words would hit Jia Baoyu’s pain point again.

He subconsciously glanced at the squirrel on the table...

It was given to her by Jia Lian again!

My heart became even more angry, and my mind recovered, recalling how I had behaved so rudely towards Daiyu. Looking at Daiyu's crying expression, she was obviously not ready to forgive him. She felt angry, ashamed, and anxious, and she couldn't stand it.

Zijuan’s gentle words did not move him. He had an idea and pushed Zijuan away with one hand. With the other hand, he removed the necklace on the gold necklace on his chest, which was his "lifeblood". He pulled it off and slammed it on the table in front of him.

When the top-quality jade came into contact with the pear wood table, it not only made a loud noise, but the jade also bounced three feet high, and then made several clanging noises before falling to an unknown location.

　“Ah~”

When Zicuckoo saw this, her expression changed drastically.

As long as you are in Rongguo Mansion, there is no one who does not know about the piece of jade on Jia Baoyu.

That was something that Jia Baoyu brought from her mother’s womb and was regarded as auspicious by her family. It was also Jia Baoyu’s lifeblood.

Not even Jia Mu dared to disrespect it!

In other words, Jia Baoyu was willful when he was a child, and when things didn't go his way, he would smash them to force Jia's mother and others to comply with his wishes.

However, I have never seen Mr. Bao hit him so hard.

At this time, she could not care about anything else, and hurriedly bent over and lay on the ground to look for the jade.

The smart Zijuan knew that if there was any problem with this thing in the house, or if it was lost, she might not even be able to save her life!

Even Daiyu would have to suffer a lot.

As for Daiyu, naturally when Jia Baoyu fired his ultimate move, she was so frightened by the loud sound that she even stopped crying for a moment.

　　　　　　　　　

　 Even the languid squirrel on the table was frightened out of his wits by this sudden "earthquake".

It turned over continuously, trying to escape in a panic. Unexpectedly, its legs and feet were inconvenient. After just two times, it stepped on the air and fell to the ground, making a smaller "snap" sound than jade hitting the ground. .

Although Daiyu saw it, at this moment, she did not dare to pick it up.

Jia Baoyu also saw the little guy's tragic experience, and a trace of joy flashed in his heart.

This also made him very strange. It was obvious that he liked this little guy very much. He used to come here often and secretly feed Daiyu behind his back.
