Shi Xiangyun was born in the Shihou family among the four major families, and she is the daughter of the family. But because of the early death of her parents, Shi Xiangyun did not live a carefree life like the other girls of the Jia family, on the contrary, she was often restricted by her uncles and aunts, so it was difficult for her to make decisions on many things.
Shi Xiangyun was brought to live in Jiafu by her aunt a long time ago, lived in Jia's mother's room with Baoyu, and had a raider serve her for a period of time. Shi Xiangyun was always apprehensive in his heart, feeling that the tacit understanding between himself and Baoyu was gradually drifting apart. After Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, she was particularly favored and cared for by Jia's mother and Baoyu. At the same time, Shi Xiangyun is no longer a permanent resident of Jiafu, so it is inevitable that there will be feelings between the new and the old, and Shi Xiangyun will generally feel a trace of jealousy towards Daiyu. Shi Xiangyun felt the charm of Baochai more and more in his heart, and his admiration for her deepened day by day. Therefore, when Baochai entered the mansion, her erudition, reasonableness and open-minded behavior quickly won Shi Xiangyun's appreciation. Shi Xiangyun not only often mentioned Baochai's advantages, but also praised her intentionally or unintentionally in front of Daiyu, which made Daiyu feel unhappy many times.
In the thirty-seventh episode, Tanchun Yaxing was in high spirits, and he organized a group of people to create the Begonia Poetry Society. Tanchun asked Daiyu and Baochai to find Shi Xiangyun. How could such an Yaji incident lack Shi Xiangyun's participation? So Jia's mother sent someone to invite Shi Xiangyun to Daguanyuan to be the head of the club, and asked her to write her poems first, and then enjoy them with the poets. The next day, Baoyu forced Jia's mother to take Shi Xiangyun to Jiafu, and Shi Xiangyun first agreed to his request after arriving, excitedly expressing his desire to join as the host.
On that night, Xue Baochai invited Shi Xiangyun to her Wuyuan as a guest, and before that, all the nights Xiangyun spent in Jiafu resting at Daiyu's place. Baochai's action undoubtedly strengthened his determination to get closer to Shi Xiangyun. "It's all for tomorrow's celebrations. After Baochai arrived at Wuyuan, he did not clearly explain his plan, but asked Shi Xiangyun to think about how to set up Donghe and how to name it, and after listening for a long time, Baochai finally did not give any response.
Now that you have started club activities, you should take the initiative. Although it is a bit stubborn, it is also necessary to think carefully, both to ensure your own interests and avoid offending others, so that everyone can find it interesting. ”
Baochai casually described her predicament to Shi Xiangyun: Your income at home is very low, and you only have a few strings of money a month, which are not enough to cover your expenses. Now, you want to do something unnecessary again, and your aunt knows that she needs to complain about you again, not to mention if your money is enough? I don't see it that way, I'm going back to Jiafu anyway! If not, have to go home? Isn't this calling you to go? Shi Xiangyun was confused after hearing that sentence, and she almost felt guilty for her rash behavior.
Baochai obviously deliberately magnified this problem, not to mention what a few daughters of the boudoir who live a luxurious life can eat, that is, all the girls in Yihong Courtyard, only raised three taels of silver on Baoyu's birthday, and prepared forty plates of fruit, how could Xiangyun not take out a few taels of silver? As for Baochai, her appetite is really big. Considering that Xiangyun often stays at home and knows very little about the world, and is not even familiar with the people who buy tickets, how can she not be attracted to Baochai, who is proficient in exploitation techniques?
Baochai saw Xiangyun's hesitation, so she did not hesitate to put forward her suggestion:
I've already conceived a scenario for this. Then ask him to send more crabs over, and we can prepare a feast, with osmanthus as the scenery and crabs as the taste, so that the old lady and aunt can enjoy it in the garden, it must be a beautiful feast. In our pawnshop, there is a guy who has produced high-quality fat crabs in his field and recently gave away a few catties. I heard that the old lady has a soft spot for osmanthus flowers, and she talks about crabs even more with relish. Nowadays, more than half of the inhabitants of this place, starting with the older women and even the residents of the park, have a soft spot for crabs. When the guy saw his aunt mention osmanthus and crabs, he had a plan. The other day, the aunt mentioned that she wanted to invite the old lady to the garden to admire the osmanthus flowers and taste the crabs, but for some reason she had not yet invited her. They tasted the deliciousness of the crabs together, and the topic revolved around the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the garden. Now, please don't mention the Poetry Society again, just mention it briefly. When they left, we had many poems that we could not accept.
From this sentence, we can infer that Baochai had conducted a full investigation before inviting Shi Xiangyun into the door, and made full preparations for how to organize this crab feast. Baochai was thoughtful and didn't want to cause displeasure to Jia Mu and others at the crab banquet. However, Baochai mentioned again that at the crab banquet, don't mention participating in the activities of the poetry club first, and wait until Jia Mu and the others have finished eating, everyone has dispersed, and then we will start to write poems.
After listening carefully, you will find that this is not for Shi Xiangyun? Seeing everyone's eyebrows, with laughter and laughter in their conversations, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart. This is obviously in the name of Shi Xiangyun in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang is very courteous, if it is just to run a poetry club? Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in her heart, she originally just wanted to entertain everyone in the name of the Poetry Society, but she didn't expect to be misunderstood as having ulterior motives. Why can't we mention this in front of everyone? At the crab banquet, everyone talked about it, but no one knew that all this was Shi Xiangyun's plan. Have to wait until everyone is gone before we have a discussion? Shi Xiangyun knew in his heart that mentioning this matter would inevitably touch Baochai's emotions, so he chose to wait for everyone to disperse before talking. So, is this crab banquet hosted by Shi Xiangyun still eastern? However, Shi Xiangyun knew in his heart that Baochai's actions were not out of sincerity and kindness, but out of a complex calculation and conspiracy. Most people may think that they are influenced by Baochai's personal feelings. Baochai's scheming is so deep, she completely lives up to her identity as the daughter of the imperial merchant, and the innocent Shi Xiangyun does not have such scheming, but is grateful to Baochai.
On the day of the crab feast, Jia Mu and others participated. As soon as I walked into the Lotus Lotus Champs, I saw that all kinds of wine and tea sets were neatly placed on the table, and there were girls busy making tea and scalding wine next to them. The nature of crabs is cold, and it needs to be paired with warm wine to regulate the spleen and stomach, and the taste of crabs is fishy, so you need to taste it with fragrant tea. Xiangyun Suri acted very aggressively, and Mother Jia saw that she was taking care of her thoughtfully at the moment, and secretly praised her in her heart. Jia Mu was very happy to see this scene, and hurriedly asked: "You want this cup of tea, and you have to make sure that the place and items are clean." "Auntie, this is all a trivial matter, ** is it considered thoughtful? From Jia's mother's point of view, Xiangyun, who had always been informal, suddenly behaved so decently and considerately, which made her feel a little incredulous, but in the end she was still very happy. I didn't expect Shi Xiangyun to say this.
When Jia Mu first saw the preparations for the banquet, she showed great interest and expressed her great concern for the organizers of the banquet through a "busy question". However, Shi Xiangyun explained that all this was prepared by Baochai, just the word "Dao", and even her usual "laughter" disappeared, and she lightly praised Baochai for doing everything properly. A hint of disappointment flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, but she quickly adjusted her mood and told everyone about the recent garden scenery with a smile. As he spoke, he shifted the subject to other places, as if he were reading a couplet on a pillar, which seemed very casual.
In Jia's mother's eyes, although Shi Xiangyun is her relative, she wants to use Baochai's privilege to bring joy to everyone, which is a very humiliating thing for Jia's mother. Shi Xiangyun is Daiyu's own sister, and after her father died, she lived with Baoyu in the Grand View Garden. The reason why Baochai chose to help Shi Xiangyun was mainly because she knew something about the unknown things of the Shi family, and everyone thought that the ugly things in the family should not be made public, which made Jia's mother feel very embarrassed.
After the Xue family moved into Jia's mansion, the news of "Jinyu Liangyuan" followed, which made Jia's mother feel very headache. She tried her best to attack the Xue family, but Shi Xiangyun was drawn closer by Baochai. For Jia's mother, Shi Xiangyun's mind is very simple and has no scheming.
Jia's mother's self-esteem was hurt. "Xiangyun, Baochai, you have worked hard. This crab feast is quite good. Therefore, at the crab banquet that cost twenty taels to prepare, Jia Mu only sat for a moment and left. Before leaving, she also warned Shi Xiangyun "Don't let your Bao brother Sister Lin eat too much." Jia's mother instinctively put Baoyu and Daiyu first, but Xiangyun and Baochai, who were in charge of preparing the banquet, were ignored by her. Something interesting happened, Jia Mu turned to Xiangyun and Baochai again and said.
You'd better not overeat. Even though the food tastes good, it's not particularly good, and excessive consumption may cause abdominal pain. ”
Why didn't Mother Jia directly tell Baoyu and Daiyu that eating too much caused stomach pain? Jia's mother was suspicious, feeling that this banquet was not without purpose, maybe there was something hidden. Since this crab feast was planned by Baochai in the name of Xiangyun, Jia Mu was specially invited. Maybe Baochai has realized that because she is the younger generation in the family, and Jia's mother has not had a good opinion of the Xue family recently, it is difficult to invite Jia's mother to participate. Jia Mu knows Baochai's mind very well, but she doesn't want to be controlled by her intentions. Because of this, Jia's mother felt that she had been deceived and felt uncomfortable with her mother's **behavior. Jia Mu realized that Baochai was not out of sincere hospitality, but had ulterior motives. Driven by this dissatisfaction, Jia Mu cleverly hooked Baochai's mind with a sentence, saying, "Although that thing is delicious, it is not particularly good."
In order to please Mrs. Jia Muwang, I don't know how much thought she put into this banquet, but unexpectedly, her plan failed, which made Baochai feel very confused?
