Since the atmosphere was gloomy, the rest of the meal would not be long.

Jia Qiang and Xue Pan retreated first to avoid the girls inside.

The four girls plus the maid in front of Baoyu, a total of seventeen or eight people, left in a huge formation.

After they left, Aunt Xue sent Xiang Ling to the wing to call Jia Qiang and Xue Pan.

Seeing Xiangling greeting the two of them, Xue Pan said drunkenly: "I have asked you to take care of your second master Qiang's daily life these days, so you didn't leave your soul to him? Damn it, I love to be pretty, even more so.

Love gold. Brother Qiang is so handsome and has so much gold and silver now, you ladies all love him!"

Xiangling's face turned red with embarrassment, she glared at Xue Pan in shame, turned around and left.

Xue Pan scolded from behind: "You are a prodigal, I tell you, don't be promiscuous with me, otherwise I will give you a slap in the face tonight..."

"alright!"

Jia Qiang wanted to ignore her, but she could see that this guy was getting more and more arrogant. If he didn't stop her, all kinds of bad words would come out, so she stopped her and said, "You are a man, how can you be so angry with this girl?"

Xue Pan listened to the advice, but instead poured out his bitterness: "My dear brother, you don't know my suffering! Just because I am not as handsome as you, I have suffered so much in my life! Now even the girls at home are

You look down on me. If you hadn't stopped me, I would have given this little coquettish hooves a hard slap!"

Jia Qiang said helplessly: "Brother Xue, you are overthinking, and it doesn't matter. However, forceful melons are not sweet. If people don't want to, there is no need to force them. With your character, Brother Xue, are you worried about not having a woman around you?"

"

Xue Pan laughed loudly when he heard this, and said to Jia Qiang: "Is the fox's tail exposed? Tell me, do you like Xiangling? You and I are like brothers. If you like it, just nod. The eldest brother will stutter and won't hit anyone."

Send it to you immediately!"

Jia Qiang waved her hands and laughed and cursed: "Nonsense, nonsense! If you fall in love with one when you see one, I won't be able to house so many girls even if I buy ten big houses. Let's go, my concubine is inviting me."

Jia Qiang left first, not seeing the cunning and regret in Xue Pan's eyes behind her.

If Jia Qiang really said that she fell in love with Xiangling, Xue Pan would give him a shit. How much trouble would he cause for Xiangling? How could he be willing to give it to someone who has never tasted it?

Xue Pan not only refused to give it, but also laughed at him for missing his eldest brother's woman.

Although it was just a joke, as a younger brother, there must be something for the older brother to make fun of, right?

It's a pity that Jia Qiang was not fooled and was not stubborn!

…

"Mom, everyone starts from the inside first and then the outside. It would be better for you to stick to the outsiders first, and then it will be our turn after the outsiders leave. Your elbows are a little turned outwards."

Xue Pan's face was full of pride, but he didn't know why he was so proud, and he happily said to Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue first called out Jia Qiang who was greeting her, and then cursed: "Baoyu and the others are also outsiders? I think you, the evildoer, are the outsiders!"

He also invited Jia Qiang to take a seat, and asked everyone to serve tea and pour water.

After Jia Qiang sat down, her eyes fell on the quiet and dignified figure not far away from Aunt Xue.

Baochai's body was slightly plump, which he knew from his previous life.

Although we had once had a startling glance at each other from a distance before, it was far less than the meeting within three steps before our eyes.

Her apricot eyes are clear and her skin is as white as snow.

The most important thing is that she has a soft figure but is not coquettish.

As if feeling Jia Qiang's gaze, Baochai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes to look at him. After looking at Jia Qiang, she nodded slightly and lowered her eyes again.

Jia Qiang withdrew her gaze and responded to Aunt Xue's words: "My aunt was joking, Brother Xue and I take care of each other. Moreover, Brother Xue may seem careless on the outside, but in fact he is very kind in his heart. He is also kind to others, at least to me.

He said he is not a bad person."

Xue Pan was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "What did I say? What did I say? Brother Qiang has a sharp eye and knows what kind of person I am!"

Aunt Xue glared at him angrily, then nodded and smiled at Jia Qiang: "No matter how good you are to him, I have heard what he said, and even took him to that guild hall to get to know more noble people. You guys

My son is no better than the concubines inside us, just make knitting needlework and take care of the housework. You also need to socialize more outside, meet more people, and make more friends, so that it will be easier in the future."

Jia Qiang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I have this idea, but it's not entirely what I mean. After all, how many true friends can you make by having fun with wine and meat?"

Aunt Xue was moved when she heard this, and asked in confusion: "What does Brother Yi Qiang mean..."

Jia Qiang felt the eyes beside her looking over. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "It's just that we are each looking for opportunities and have a place to exchange needs."

He dared to say this because he knew that Aunt Xue, a womanly woman, could not do much.

Or, it doesn't matter if she spreads this word to Mrs. Wang, to the Jia family, to the Wang family, and then to others.

Once a guild hall rises, it will inevitably attract the attention of all parties.

Instead of hiding it, it would be better to explain the purpose of the hall, so that people would not interpret it too much.

Aunt Xue was still in shock, but Baochai spoke for the first time and asked: "Brother Qiang, are you really trying to save those happy households by registering them from the Jiaofang Division?"

Jia Qiang looked sideways, faced those apricot eyes, and said softly: "I am neither a Bodhisattva nor a saint, so I can't talk about rescue. I just go along with it and help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering, and then let them fend for themselves.

Let’s just stop bullying them.”

Hearing this, Baochai pursed her lips, looked at Jia Qiang and said, "But how can they not be bullied in a place like that?"

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan both looked over, but Jia Qiang said funnyly: "Aunt Xue, do you think my Taiping Guild Hall is a place where filth and evil are hidden?"

When Xue Baochai heard this, her pretty face turned red, but she refused to admit defeat. She looked at Jia Qiang and said, "But there are many dandies among the nobles' children, and the literati and celebrities are also romantic. Can you restrain them?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "I will not restrain anyone, but at least I can guarantee that those who can enter the Taiping Guild Hall will not be many dirty ones. Otherwise, the ones who will lose face will only be the recommended ones. If there is really a strong person,

, I’m not the only one who offended, there are other people who abide by the rules. And if someone really wants to offend me, I’m not afraid of it.”

It’s not that he is talking big. Before the death of the Supreme Emperor, he relied on the remaining power of the Holy Family. As long as he did not try to get his hands on power and only showed his prestige in the dandy circle, then few people were willing to argue with him, because it was not worth it...

Baochai naturally didn't know this. When she looked at Jia Qiang, who showed a domineering attitude, her clear eyes suddenly lit up.

The shadow of the moon on the white shirt no longer seems to be weak and weak.

…

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall.

Inside the Bisha Cupboard in Xinuang Pavilion.

Because Jia's mother went to the Buddhist hall behind to worship the Buddha and had not yet come out, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu came back and talked in the Bisha cupboard about what they had not said on the way...

Lin Daiyu leaned lazily on the back of the chair, took a cup of tea from her maid Zijuan and took a brief sip. She glanced sideways at Jia Baoyu and sneered: "Don't coax me.

There’s nothing wrong with him, except that he doesn’t have a piece of jade.”

Jia Baoyu was secretly happy when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What if there is jade? What if there is no jade?"

Lin Daiyu laughed and said: "What a stupid thing! People have said that a man with gold can only find a man with jade to match him. Since Brother Qiang has no jade, then you don't have to worry about the man with gold following him..."

"you!!"

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he almost fell over. When he saw that his personal maid, Xi Ren, was coming to collect his jade and put it away to breathe, he threw it into the tray and cursed angrily: "Sooner or later, I will smash this jade."

What a naughty boy!"

Daiyu: "..."
