Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 239: Lin Daiyu Girl There is No Such Person

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense. Everyone was silent. Only Wang Xifeng's voice broke the silence.

"Hurry up, Brother Bao, you have to buy things early. If you're late, they might be gone!"

Mrs. Wang's face was gloomy and she was anxious. The Buddhist beads in her hand turned slower and slower, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Aunt Xue looked at her daughter Baochai thoughtfully and smiled awkwardly, but she felt mixed emotions in her heart.

Thinking of his son's current state, he said to Baoyu, "Your elder brother Xue is a reckless man. You should bear with him if he says anything inappropriate."

"Besides, he followed your elder brother Zhen out today and got a little injured while rescuing someone. Please don't be surprised."

Jia Baoyu was in a hurry to get out, so he just casually responded, "Brother Xue is generous and kind, and he is acting like a hero. I admire him so much, how can I blame him?"

"Grandma, mother, I'm leaving."

After saying this, he bowed slightly, turned around, and walked out with big strides.

Mrs. Wang’s Buddhist beads finally stopped turning and her knuckles trembled slightly.

I thought, what a monster! Why can't I get rid of it?

Everyone in the room had their own thoughts. Xue Baochai stood quietly by, with a captivating light in her eyes.

The rich screen of Rongqing Hall is full of ravines and thorns.

……

"Brother Xue, since you are injured like this, you don't need to go with me. Just tell me where to buy it." At Xue Pan's place in Lixiang Courtyard, Jia Baoyu took a look at Xue Pan's face.

This is too tragic, hurting oneself in order to save others.

This kind of spirit is really rare?

Xue Pan didn't expect that his sister still remembered his instructions.

Jia Baoyu came so quickly, and the first thing he did when he arrived was to ask him where to buy velvet flowers.

Xue Pan has something to hide, so how can he be allowed to go?

"Brother Bao, you don't have to go. I still have two here. We have a brotherly relationship, so I'll give it to you."

"And you may not get it even if you go now."

"Why go all the way here for nothing?"

After saying this, Xue Pan called his servant,

"Go and get the velvet flower I hid for Master Bao."

The servant asked innocently, "Master, where are you hiding? I don't know!"

Xue Pan said to Jia Baoyu apologetically, "This boy is a fool. Wait a moment and I will tell him."

After saying this, he pulled the servant aside and whispered, "Useless person, go to the account office to get some money, and then go to Linlang Pavilion to buy two flowers."

"Also, tell that kid Wang Ren that he gave me one less flower."

Afterwards, Xue Pan kicked the servant and said, "Hurry up. If you delay my work, you will be in trouble."

The servant ran helplessly, there were still several streets to go!

This is really embarrassing.

Seeing the servant leave,

Jia Baoyu felt very sorry and said, "Brother Xue, you are too righteous."

Xue Pan waved his hand indifferently, "It's nothing, even though I don't understand any knowledge."

"But I also know that the ancients had the friendship of sharing wealth."

"We are blood relatives, there is no doubt about that."

"Brother Bao, what do you need?"

"Look at all the stuff in my room. I got all these from people all over the world. So, take whatever you like.

Jia Baoyu did look around and found that Xue Pan's study was filled with strange and bizarre things.

There was no writing brush, ink, paper or inkstone at all.

Wherever he looked, several objects caught his interest.

Especially the beauty plate, with a beauty rotating on the plate, an ingenious mechanism, and an ironclad ship with a majestic shape.

But Jia Baoyu did not ask for it. Since he had asked for the velvet flower today, it was naturally inconvenient for him to ask for anything else.

Seeing that Baoyu did not move, Xue Pan reached out and touched the wound on his face, which felt slightly itchy.

He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Bao, I have something to ask you. Is there a girl beside your cousin from the Lin family who is exceptionally beautiful?"

Jia Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Why does Brother Xue ask this?"

Xue Pan pointed to his injured cheek and said with a wry smile:

"Look at me now. I was injured just to save a girl. The girl's appearance is really unforgettable."

"Brother Zhen once said that the girl's master looks quite like Lin's cousin."

"That's why I asked you."

"You mean, your injury was caused by the maid who saved Sister Lin?"

Jia Baoyu was surprised. When he came to ask for the velvet flower, he did not mention Lin Daiyu, for fear that she would be unhappy if she knew.

Seeing Xue Pan injured while saving someone, he did not ask who he saved, thinking it might be taboo.

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan actually imagined himself to be Lin Daiyu's maid.

Jia Baoyu felt mixed emotions, but then he thought it was impossible.

Among Lin Daiyu's maids, only Xueyan and Zijuan often follow her. Although they are good-looking, they are not yet goddesses.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and said, "Brother Xue, Brother Zhen must have seen it wrong."

"I have seen all of Lin Daiyu's maids, and none of them are like what you say."

"Besides, Sister Lin treats people with courtesy. If she really saved her maid, how could she just ignore it?"

When Xue Pan heard Baoyu say this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He thought to himself, if this person isn't surnamed Lin, this would be troublesome, like looking for a needle in a haystack, where can I wait?

Jia Baoyu, who was standing by, saw Xue Pan's gloomy expression.

Since I got something from someone else for free, I naturally need to help him find someone.

"Brother Xue, the person who hurt you might know where this girl came from."

"Just follow that direction."

Xue Pan said helplessly, "Of course I know, but it was an eagle that hurt me, and that eagle was going to catch that girl."

"I'm nearby and I'm pretty agile. Isn't it time for me to step forward and take the blame?"

"..."

Speaking of this, Xue Pan's face was full of pain. He suddenly felt that he had said this reason several times and it seemed to be true.

I couldn't remember what I had said originally as to why.

Yes, I was the one who saved a girl from under the eagle's wings. She was so beautiful that she looked down upon everyone else.

Except for her master, but that master was too sharp-tongued and she felt she could not tame him.

Thinking of this, Xue Pan continued to exaggerate and describe his "heroic deeds".

But Jia Baoyu was absent-minded. He was shocked and confused.

Eagle, it’s actually an eagle?

How could it be such a coincidence? Lin Daiyu happened to have an eagle at her home.

But the eagle was very well-behaved and it didn’t hurt anyone!

Jia Baoyu was a little confused. His face turned pale and he asked Xue Pan blankly, "Brother Xue, are you sure it was the eagle that hurt you?"

"What kind of eagle?"

Xue Pan was delighted to see Baoyu's reaction, and swore hastily:

"Of course I can swear to it."

"If I lie about this, I will be struck by lightning..."

"That eagle is very majestic, with wings as long as two people."

As Xue Pan spoke, he observed Jia Baoyu's expression.

The more Jia Baoyu listened to the eagle, the more familiar it became to him. Suddenly, he couldn't stay there any longer.

He wanted to verify the matter. The eagle had hurt someone, and no matter who it hurt, it could not be kept alive.

I must remind Lin Daiyu that this eagle is very dangerous.

Thinking of this, Jia Baoyu apologized to Xue Pan. "Brother Xue, I have other things to do, so I won't wait here any longer."

"When the palace flowers arrive, I'll have someone come get them!"
