Chapter 478 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 5
Just as Wang Xifeng was struggling to learn the skills to win favor, time quietly came to the day in her previous life when Wang Xifeng visited the Jia Mansion and first met Jia Lian.
Wang Xifeng's aunt Zhen received a wedding invitation from Wang, the second wife of the Jia family. A month ago, the second wife gave birth to a baby son named Baoyu, and now it was Baoyu's full moon day.
Mrs. Wang is Wang Ziteng's sister and Wang Xifeng's aunt. It is reasonable for Zhen to take Wang Xifeng to the Jia Mansion for Jia Baoyu's full-month banquet.
Wang Xifeng has just turned ten years old. Although she still has a childish look on her face, she looks like a natural beauty. She is stunning every time she looks around.
The old lady of Rongguo Mansion likes pretty girls the most. When she sees Wang Xifeng, who follows Zhen and behaves gracefully in every move, she likes her even more.
"Is this your niece?"
Grandmother Jia naturally knew Wang Xifeng's identity, but she still asked about it specifically.
"She's really a symbol of her beauty. Since she came in, I can no longer see anyone else."
Grandmother Jia looked at Wang Xifeng eagerly, then extended her hand to signal Wang Xifeng to shake it. Seeing this, Wang Xifeng immediately smiled and said to Grandmother Jia: "Old Madam, the same is true. Ever since I came in and saw the old lady, I have only been looking at the old lady."
"Hahahahahaha!"
"I didn't expect a little girl like you to be so good at talking."
"How old are you this year?"
On the one hand, Lady Jia originally praised Wang Xifeng because she was indeed amazed by her, and on the other hand, she did it to give face to Lady Wang and to honor her family.
But Grandmother Jia didn't expect that Wang Xifeng had such a lively personality, and she really fell in love with her at once.
"To answer the old lady, I am eleven years old."
Grandmother Jia didn't care about Wang Xifeng's virtual age. She held Wang Xifeng's left hand tightly and held Jia Yuanchun's hand with her right hand. She looked left and right, with a very satisfied expression on her face and nodded from time to time.
"Look carefully at these two cousins. They look a bit alike."
"Isn't that what the old lady said? They are cousins and they are equally pretty, so they look alike!"
"It's just that Feng Ge'er's temperament is not as stable as Yuanchun's. She is indeed worthy of being the daughter of the Duke's Mansion who was personally taught by the old lady."
"If this gets out to other families, I'm sure all the suitors will come to Rongguo Mansion and break down the door."
Although Zhen felt that Wang Xifeng looked nothing like Jia Yuanchun, it did not stop her from agreeing with Lady Jia's words and praising Jia Yuanchun.
No matter what, Jia Yuanchun is Wang Ziteng's niece, and it will never go wrong to praise her.
Jia Yuanchun listened to her aunt's praise and could not help but bow her head in bashfulness. Jia Yuanchun was one year older than Jia Lian and five years older than Wang Xifeng. She had already reached the age of marriage. When she heard the elders start talking about her marriage, she felt embarrassed, so she turned to look at Wang Xifeng and asked softly, "Did you go to see Baoyu when you came?"
Wang Xifeng shook her head. "Not yet. As soon as my aunt arrived, she brought me here to pay my respects to the old lady."
Grandmother Jia was right between the two of them, so she naturally heard their conversation clearly. She also knew that the younger generation would not like to hear the following topic, so she did not force them and directly gave instructions to Jia Yuanchun.
"Yuanchun, take Feng'er to see your mother. If your brother is awake, please also see him."
"We can't be strangers to our cousins."
"Yes, old lady."
Jia Yuanchun agreed and led Wang Xifeng out. At present, Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu's brother Jia Zhu were still alive, and the Jia family had no plans to send Jia Yuanchun to the palace to seek a future for the Jia family.
After Jia Yuanchun took Wang Xifeng away, Jia's mother began to talk to Zhen about Jia Yuanchun's marriage. The Jia, Wang, Shi, Xue, and Zhen families were all old relatives since Jia Yuan's generation, and each generation had intermarriages.
Now that Lady Jia kept Zhen, she wanted Jia Yuanchun to marry into the Zhen family, and she specifically asked about Zhen's situation with this generation of the Zhen family.
On the other side, Jia Yuanchun led Wang Xifeng to Lady Wang's courtyard. Although Lady Wang had already finished her confinement, she was still an old woman and not as mature as before. After barely holding on to entertain the guests, she felt a little tired and went back to her room to lie down.
When Jia Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng came in, Mrs. Wang had just fallen asleep, so at the suggestion of Zhou Ruijia, they changed their route and went to the next room to check on Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu was indeed a man who loved beauties. As soon as he opened his eyes and saw Wang Xifeng's face, the young Jia Baoyu, who was just one month old, started smiling.
He raised his two little hands and looked straight towards Wang Xifeng, with an innocent smile of a baby on his face. His big eyes stared at Wang Xifeng, and his round eyeballs moved as Wang Xifeng walked.
Jia Yuanchun laughed when she saw this. She turned around and said jokingly, "It seems that Baoyu likes Feng Ge'er."
Wang Xifeng looked at the lovely Jia Baoyu without much feeling in her heart. Her eyes were fixed on the red rope under Jia Baoyu's swaddling clothes, thinking about how she could get the spiritual jade hanging on the red rope in front of Jia Yuanchun and others.
In this life, Wang Xifeng does not intend to wait for Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu to meet like Jia Yingchun did in her previous life, and then take out the energy of heaven and earth from the spiritual jade. That would take too long, which would not be conducive to Wang Xifeng's practice.
As long as he got the magical jade, and found a way to take blood from Lin Daiyu and drip it onto the magical jade, he could corrode a gap. Then he could use the energy of heaven and earth in his body as a primer, and successfully draw out the energy of heaven and earth inside the magical jade.
While Wang Xifeng was thinking, Jia Yuanchun had already picked up Jia Baoyu with the help of the wet nurse. Wang Xifeng's eyes turned and she thought of a solution.
"Cousin Yuanchun, can I hug Baoyu too?"
Jia Yuanchun was a little hesitant. She was afraid that Wang Xifeng, being young, might do something careless and hurt Jia Baoyu. But seeing Wang Xifeng's sincere face, Jia Yuanchun couldn't refuse. In the end, she could only watch in fear as Wang Xifeng picked up Jia Baoyu.
As soon as Jia Baoyu entered Wang Xifeng's arms, he could not help but tilt his head and press it against Wang Xifeng's chest. Wang Xifeng raised her hand and while stroking Jia Baoyu's little face, she quickly cut the red rope, and then while helping Jia Baoyu tidy up his swaddling clothes, she directly put the spiritual jade into the space.
The moment Wang Xifeng took away the magical jade, Jia Baoyu seemed to sense something and immediately burst into tears.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!"
"What's wrong with Baoyu?" As soon as Jia Baoyu started crying, Jia Yuanchun immediately became anxious. The wet nurses hurried forward, took Jia Baoyu from Wang Xifeng and began to coax him.
Among them, Mrs. Li had sharp eyes and immediately found that the red string around Jia Baoyu's neck was broken. She ripped open Jia Baoyu's swaddling clothes in panic and said, "It's gone!"
"Baoyu is missing!"
"Mrs. Li, what nonsense are you talking about? Baoyu is here, fine. What's missing?"
"No, I mean Baoyu's jade is missing!"
