It is said that Baochai clearly heard that Lin Daiyu was mean to him, and because she missed her mother and brother, she walked all the way without looking back. Here, Lin Daiyu is still standing in the shade, but she looks at Hongyi Courtyard from a distance. Li Gongcai, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, etc. all arrived at Hongyi Courtyard, but Xifeng was not there, thinking, "Why didn't he come to see Baoyu?" Even if something bothers him, he must want to make a scene to please the old lady's wife. There must be a reason for not coming this morning and evening. "
While suspecting, I looked up and looked again. I saw a group of people coming to Hongyi Hospital again. When they looked at each other, they saw the old lady holding Xifeng's hand and following Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Zhou, daughter-in-law and others into the hospital. Daiyu nodded unconsciously, remembering the benefits of having parents, and her face was covered with tears.
Later, I saw Baochai and Aunt Xue go in. Suddenly I saw Zijuan coming from behind and said, "Miss, take your medicine. The boiling water is cold again."
Daiyu said, "What do you want? Just urging, I don't care if I eat or not! "
Zijuan said with a smile, "My cough is gone, and I don't take medicine again. Although it is May and the weather is very hot, we should be more careful. I got up early in the morning and stood in this tidal place for a long time. It's time to go back to rest. " one
This reminded Daiyu that she felt a little sore in her legs. After staying for half a day, Fang slowly helped Zijuan and returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw bamboo shadows all over the ground, and the moss marks were faint. I unconsciously remembered the phrase "someone walks in the secluded place, and the moss is white" in the West Chamber.
Because he secretly sighed, "two articles, two articles, are sincere to my life. However, although your life is thin, you still have a widowed mother and a weak brother. Today, Lin Daiyu lives a thin life, with no widowed mother or weak brother.
The ancients said that beauty has a thin life, and I am not a beauty, so what thin life is not as good as double life! He thought about it and walked away. Ying Ge in the gallery saw Lin Daiyu coming, and suddenly squatted down, stunned, because he said, "Death slapped me again."
Then Ying Ge flew to the shelf and called, "Xueyan, open the curtain quickly, the girl is coming."
Daiyu stopped, folded her hands and said, "Did you add fresh water?" .
Then Ying Ge sighed, as loud as Lin Daiyu's usual rhyme, and then read: "Today, people who bury flowers are stupid. Who did he know when he buried Nong? " Let's take a look at the flowers in spring. This is the time for beauty to die of old age. There is no elegy for me, and I don't know if the flowers fall and people die! "
Daiyu and Zijuan both laughed. Zijuan smiled and said, "It's hard for her to remember all these words."
Daiyu ordered the shelf to be taken down and hung on the hook outside the moon cave window, so she went into the house and sat in front of the moon cave window. After taking the medicine, I saw the bamboo shadow reflected in the window screen. The room was dark and green, and it was cold for several days. Unable to amuse herself, Daiyu teased Ying Ge through the screen window and taught him the poems he always liked. I won't mention this.
When Xue Baochai came home, she found her mother combing her hair. As soon as he arrived, he said, "What are you doing leaving early in the morning?"
Baochai said, "I'll go and see if my mother is all right. I went yesterday. I wonder if he can make trouble again? " As he spoke, he sat down beside his mother and couldn't help crying.
Aunt Xue couldn't keep going when she saw him crying, so she cried, and at the same time advised him, "My son, don't make up your mind until I deal with him." You must be a good person or a bad person, I believe that! "
Hearing this, Xue Pan ran to Baochai and bowed left and right. He just said, "Dear sister, forgive me this time! I ate wine yesterday and came back late. I met a guest on the road. I didn't wake up when I got home. I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't even know myself. I can't blame you for being angry. "
Baochai used to hide her face and cry. Hearing this, she felt funny again. She looked up and spat on the ground and said, "You don't have to be so childish. I know how much you care about us girls. You want us to leave you in a different way, and your heart will be clean. "
Hearing this, Xue Pan smiled at once: "Where did you say this, Sister? So I don't even have room to stand. My sister has never been such a talkative person. "
Aunt Xue quickly went on to say, "You only listen to your sister's fallacies. Shouldn't what you said last night be wrong? " When you are really dizzy! "
Xue Pan said, "Mom doesn't have to be angry, and Sister doesn't have to worry. How about I don't go out drinking with them from now on? "
Baochai said with a smile, "I don't understand!"
Aunt Xue said, "If you have this horizontal strength, the dragon will lay eggs."
Xue Pan said, "If I hang out with them again, my sister will hear me and call me an animal, not a human being. What shall I do? Why do you want to come? You worry about me and two girls every day! Mom can forgive me for being angry. If I just let my sister worry about me, then I will be more human. Now that my father is gone, I can't be more filial to my mother and more loving to my sister. I am not even as good as an animal. " As he spoke, tears ran down his eyes.
Aunt Xue stopped crying and was sad when she heard him say it. Baochai said with a strong smile, "You've had enough, and now you're making your mother cry."
Hearing this, Xue Pan quickly stopped his tears and said with a smile, "I have never made my mother cry! Stop, stop, stop, leave it alone. Tell Xiangling to pour tea for her sister. "
Baochai said, "I don't drink tea either. We'll go there after mom washes her hands. "
Xue Pan said, "Let me see my sister's collar. I'm afraid it's time to blow up. "
Baochai asked, "Why did Huang Chengcheng bomb him again?"
Xue Pan added, "Sister, it's time to get dressed. Tell me what color pattern you want. "
Baochai said, "I haven't worn any of those clothes. What should I do? " Aunt Xue changed her clothes and took Baochai in, while Xue Pan went out.
Aunt Xue and Baochai came to see Baoyu in the garden. When I arrived at Hongyi Courtyard, I saw many servant girls and women standing in the cloister inside and outside Baoxia, knowing that the old lady and others were here. Mother and daughter came in and found Baoyu lying on the couch.
It is better for Aunt Xue to ask him. Baoyu bent down in a hurry, promised "all right" and added: "Just disturb Sister menstruation, I can't stand it."
Aunt Xue quickly helped him to sleep and asked him, "Tell me about it."
Baoyu said with a smile, "I remember. Naturally, I will go with my aunt." Mrs. Wang asked again, "What do you want to eat? Come back and send it to you. "
Baoyu said with a smile, "I don't want to eat anything, but the soup I made that time was better."
Feng said with a smile, "Listen, the taste is not noble, but it is too abrasive. Baba wants to eat this. "
Jia mu repeatedly asked people to do it. Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, ancestor. Let me think about who has this mold. " Because I asked a woman to call the kitchen manager back.
The woman walked for a long time and said back and forth, "The kitchen manager said that all four soup molds were handed in."
Xi Feng listened, thought for a moment and said, "I remember who I gave it to, mostly in the teahouse." At the same time, he sent someone to ask the waiter, but he never took it. After the second time, gold and silver vessels were delivered.
Aunt Xue took a look at it first. It turned out to be a small box with four pairs of silver molds, all more than one foot long and one inch square. There are thirty or forty kinds of beans, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, lotus flowers and water chestnuts engraved on it, which are very delicate. He smiled and said to the old lady and Mrs. Wang, "Your family is also cornered. You can still do this after eating a bowl of soup. If I don't say it, I don't know what it is for. "
Before everyone could speak, Feng smiled and said, "menstruation knows that this is the way to prepare New Year's Eve dinner for the elderly. They thought of it. I don't know what to print, borrow new lotus leaf fragrance and rely on good soup. It's boring after all. Who often eats him? I made a sample that time. How can he remember it today? " He took it, handed it to a woman, told the kitchen to get some chickens at once, and added something to make more than a dozen bowls.
Mrs. Wang said, "What do you need these for?"
Feng said with a smile, "There is a reason: things in this family are often small. Today, Brother Bao served it for him, but the old lady, aunt and wife didn't eat it. It doesn't seem so good. Let's get some for everyone, so that I can be a handsome boy. "
Hearing this, the old lady smiled and said, "Monkey, it's good for you! Take the money of the official and be a man. " Everyone laughed at what he said.
Feng hurriedly smiled. "That doesn't matter. I can still afford this path. " Then he turned to the woman and said, "Give it to the kitchen, just make it up and collect money from my account." The woman promised to go.
Baochai said with a smile, "I have been here for so many years, so I should pay attention. It seems that Miss Feng is smarter than the old lady. "
Hearing this, Grandmother Jia said, "Now that I'm old, it's a coincidence. On that day, I was as old as Brother Feng, and I was even older than him. Although he is not as good as us now, he is better than your aunt. Your aunt is poor, doesn't talk much, and like a log, she doesn't behave well in front of her in-laws. Fenger has a good mouth. How can he complain that people love him? "
Baoyu said with a smile, "It doesn't hurt if you say so?"
Grandmother Jia said, "Those who don't talk much have their pains, and those who have a good mouth have their pains. It is best not to talk. "
Baoyu said with a smile, "Here it is. I said that my eldest sister-in-law didn't talk much, and the old lady thought the same as Xifeng. If you just say that it hurts people, only Xifeng and Sister Lin will hurt people. "
"When it comes to sisters, it's not that I flatter my aunt," said Grandmother Jia. "It's true. From the perspective of our four girls, it is not as good as Baoyu. "
Hearing this, Aunt Xue quickly smiled and said, "This is what the old lady said."
Mrs. Wang smiled at once: "The old lady often says that Baoyu is good behind my back, which is not a lie."
Baoyu hooked up with the old lady who once praised Lin Daiyu. He didn't want to praise Baochai, but he was surprised and looked at Baochai with a smile. Baochai turned to talk to xiren.
Suddenly someone came to invite you to dinner. Grandmother Jia stood up, told Baoyu to take care of it, and told the maids again before helping Feng and letting Aunt Xue go out. Asked if the soup was ready, he asked Aunt Xue and others, "Just say what you want to eat, and I will be able to ask Xifeng to get it for us."
Aunt Xue smiled and said, "The old lady will pay attention to him, too. Often he takes something to honor, but he can't eat much. "
Xi- Feng smiled and said, "Aunt, don't say that. Our ancestors hated human flesh. If they didn't hate human flesh, they would have eaten me long ago. "
The old lady said nothing and everyone laughed. Baoyu couldn't help laughing in the room. Aroma said with a smile, "Really, second mistress is afraid of death!"
Baoyu reached out and gave Aroma a hand. "You've been standing here for a long time, but are you tired?" As he spoke, he pulled him to sit next to him.
Aroma said with a smile, "I forgot again. While Miss Bao is in the yard, tell her to bother Yingying and make some connections. "
Baoyu said with a smile, "Thank you for mentioning it." As she spoke, she looked up at the window and said, "Sister Bao, call Yingying after dinner and bother her to make some connections. Will you be free? "
Baochai turned around and said, "Why aren't you free? Just call him later. "
Grandmother Jia and others stopped to ask Baochai before they heard the truth. Baochai explained it, and everyone understood. Grandmother Jia added, "Good boy, ask him to cook something for your brother. If you can't find anyone, I have plenty of idle maids there. Call whoever you like. "
Aunt Xue and Baochai both laughed and said, "Just ask him to do it. There is no place to order. He is also idle and naughty every day. "
Just then, walking forward, I suddenly saw Shi Xiangyun, Pinger and Xiangling pinching impatiens at the rock. Here they are. Let's all meet them. Later, outside the garden, Mrs. Wang was afraid that the old lady would be tired, so she wanted to sit in the room above. Jia also felt sore in her legs and nodded. Mrs. Wang asked the maid to set the seats first. At that time, Aunt Zhao was pushing her sick, and only Aunt Zhou and all the wives and daughters were busy with curtains, backs and mattresses. Grandmother Jia helped Xifeng in and sat down with Aunt Xue. Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun are sitting below. Mrs. Wang personally made tea for the grandmother and aunt Xue.
Grandmother Jia said to Lady Wang, "Tell them to wait on my little sister-in-law. You can sit there and have a better attitude. "
Mrs. Wang sat down in a small chair and told Feng, "Here comes the old lady's meal, and she added a little more."
Xi-feng promised to go out, so she sent someone to tell the old lady that the ladies were busy sending messages and the maids were busy coming. Mrs. Wang ordered the girls to go. Please for a long time, only Tanchun and Xichun came. Yingchun is impatient and doesn't eat. Needless to say, Lin Daiyu has to eat five meals out of ten, and everyone is careless. Soon after the meal was served, everyone set the table.
Xifeng stood on the ground, wrapped her teeth in a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Grandfathers and aunts don't have to give up, just listen to me."
Grandmother Jia smiled and said to Aunt Xue, "This is our business."
Aunt Xue answered with a smile. So Feng released four pairs. The upper two pairs belonged to Aunt Xue, and the other two pairs belonged to Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Li Gongcai, etc. Everyone stood underground and looked at the plates. Xifeng quickly sent someone to pick vegetables for Baoyu.
Later, the lotus leaf soup came, and the grandmother had already seen it. As soon as Mrs. Wang turned around and saw Yuchuan over there, she sent Yuchuan and Baoyu. "He can't stand it alone," said Xifeng.
It happened that both Ying 'er and Xi 'er came. Baochai knew that they had eaten, so she said to Yinger, "Brother Bao asked you to contact. You two go together. "
Yinger agreed and came out with Yuchuan. Yinger said, "It's too far away, and the weather is very hot. How did you come over? "
Yuchuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own reasons." As he spoke, he called a woman, put the soup and rice in a lunch box and told him to follow. The two men went to the gate of Yee Hong Courtyard empty-handed, and Yuchuan took it and took Yingying into Baoyu's room.
Aroma and Musk all laughed with Baoyu. When they saw him coming, they all got busy and said with a smile, "What a coincidence that you two came." As he spoke, he took it down.
Yuchuan sat in a chair, but Yinger was afraid to sit down. Aroma quickly stepped on one foot, but Yinger was afraid to sit down. Baoyu was very happy when he saw Yinger coming. When he saw Yuchuan, he thought of his sister Jin Chuaner. He was sad and ashamed, so he left Yinger to talk to Yuchuan. Seeing that Inger ignored her, xiren was afraid that Inger would be humiliated, and seeing that Inger refused to sit down, she pulled Inger out and went to another room for tea and conversation.
Here, Musk Moon and others have prepared bowls and chopsticks for dinner. Baoyu just won't eat it. He asked Yuchuan, "How is your mother?"
Yuchuan scowled and didn't really look at Baoyu. After a long time, she said a word "good". Baoyu is bored. After a long time, he had to smile and ask, "Who told you to bring it to me?"
Yuchuan said, "It's just grandma and wife!"
When Baoyu saw that he was still so sad, he knew it was Jin Chuaner's fault, so he had to turn him around. Seeing that there are many people, it is not easy to be modest, so I try my best to spend all my money and then ask questions with a smile.
Although Yuchuan was unhappy at first, she just saw that Baoyu had no temper. No matter how much he denigrates, he is still warm and kind, and he is embarrassed, and his face is filled with joy.
Baoyu said with a smile, "Good sister, bring me that soup and I'll try it."
Yuchuaner said, "I never feed people before they come."
Baoyu said with a smile, "I'm not asking you to support me. Because I can't walk, you can pass it to me to eat, you can go back and explain as soon as possible, and you can eat. If I delay, you will be hungry. If you are lazy, I will have to endure the pain. " As she spoke, she was about to get out of bed, and when she earned it, she couldn't help moaning.
Seeing him like this, Yuchuan couldn't help getting up and saying, "Lie down! Karma created in that world will now be reported. Teach me that eye! " With that, he smiled again and served the soup.
Baoyu said with a smile, "My dear sister, if you want to be angry, stay here. When you meet the old lady, she will be more amiable. If you do this again, you will be scolded again. "
Yu Chuaner said, "Eat, eat! Don't sweet talk to me, I don't believe this! " With that, he urged Baoyu to drink two soups.
Baoyu deliberately said, "It's not delicious. I won't eat it. "
Jade Chuaner said, "Amitabha! This is not delicious, what is delicious. "
Baoyu said, "It doesn't stink at all. You don't believe it. Try it and you will know. " Yuchuan really tasted it in anger.
Baoyu smiled and said, "This is delicious."
When Yuchuan heard this, he knew that Baoyu had coaxed him into taking a bite and said, "Since you said it was not delicious, I won't give it to you now."
Baoyu just smiled and begged for food, but Yuchuan didn't give it to him, and at the same time he sent someone to eat it.
When the maid came in, someone suddenly came back and said, "There are two nuns from the old master's house to pay their respects and come to see him." Hearing this, Baoyu knew that his mother had called the Fu family. That Fu Shi is Jia Zheng's protege, and he has been proud of Jia's reputation for many years, and Jia Zheng also takes it seriously. Therefore, unlike other students, he often sends people there to look around.
Baoyu used to hate stupid men and women. Why did he bring two women today? There is a primitive reason: it's just because Baoyu heard that Fu had a younger sister named Fu Fangqi, who was also a beautiful girl. She was often said to be brilliant and beautiful. Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she was so sincere that she refused to let them in, fearing that Fu would be thin, so she quickly ordered her to come in.
Fourier is an outbreak. Because Fu is somewhat beautiful and intelligent, Fu trusts his sister to marry a rich and noble family and refuses to marry anyone easily, so it has been delayed until now. Today, Fu is 23 years old and not married. Fight for those rich and powerful people, and also think that he is poor and shallow and refuses to ask for a mate. That fu wants to be close to the Jia family, and he also has something on his mind.
The two women sent here today are extremely ignorant. Hearing that Baoyu wanted to see them, he just said hello and said nothing. When Yuchuan saw the stranger coming, he didn't quarrel with Baoyu, but listened with soup in his hand.
Baoyu only talked to the old lady, while eating and reaching for soup. Both of them look at people and don't want to reach out, so they knocked over the bowl and spilled soup on Baoyu's hand.
Yuchuan didn't burn herself. She was taken aback and smiled. "How can this be said?" Panicked girls are busy cleaning up the dishes.
Baoyu didn't feel anything when he burned his hands. He just asked Yuchuan, "Where is it?" Does it hurt? "
Yu Chuan and everyone laughed. Yuchuan said, "If you burn it yourself, just ask me."
Baoyu felt scalded when he heard this. Everybody's up. Hurry up. Baoyu stopped eating, washed his hands, ate tea and talked to two old ladies. Then the two women left and Qingwen and others sent them back to the bridge.
When two women saw no one, they walked and talked. The man smiled and said, "Strangely, some people say that Baoyu looks like a fool, but he doesn't like eating inside. He's really a little slow. He scalded his hand and asked if it hurt. Isn't this a fool? "
The other smiled again: "I came back the day before and heard many people in his family complaining, which was really annoying." Just like a water chicken in the heavy rain, he tells others instead,' It's raining, so take shelter from the rain.' Do you find it ridiculous? Often when no one is around, they cry and laugh. When they see swallows, they talk to them. When they see fish in the river, they talk to them. When they see the stars and the moon, they either sigh or mumble. And it's not rigid at all, even those girls are angry. Cherish things, even a thread is good; Step on it, even if it's worth thousands of dollars. "Said the two men, while out of the garden, farewell to come back.
Now that Aroma had met someone, she brought Yingying and asked Baoyu about his contacts. Baoyu smiled at Yinger. "I just talked and forgot about you. I trouble you to come for no other reason than to make some contact with me. "
Yinger asked, "What kind of collateral?"
When Baoyu asked, he said with a smile, "No matter what you pack, how many dozen of each."
Yingying clapped her hands and smiled: "Not bad! In this way, ten years can't be finished. "
Baoyu said with a smile, "Good sister, you are idle. Just type it for me. "
Aroma said with a smile, "We can fight there for a while. Now, let's choose two important ones first. "
"Never mind," said Yingying. "Just a fan, a fragrant Zhui Er and a sweat towel."
Baoyu said, "It's just a towel."
Yingying said, "What color is the sweat towel?"
Baoyu said, "Red."
Yinger said, "The red one must be black, or the azurite one will suppress the color."
Baoyu asked, "What does Song Huase deserve?"
Yinger said, "Pine flowers are pink."
Baoyu said with a smile, "This is beautiful. I want to be a little delicate in elegance and lightness. "
Yinger said, "Green, green and yellow are my favorites."
Baoyu said, "Never mind, a pink one and a green one."
Yingying said, "What's the clever plan?"
Baoyu asked, "How many tricks does * * * have?"
Yinger said, "A wick of incense is facing the celestial stool, and it looks like a block, a victory, a chain, a plum blossom and a willow leaf."
Baoyu asked, "What trick did you play on Third Girl the other day?"
Yinger said, "That's plum blossom."
Baoyu said, "It's that good." As she spoke, she told Aron that she had just brought the thread, and the woman outside the window said, "The girls have all eaten." Baoyu said, "Go and eat. Come on. "
Aroma said with a smile, "We can't go with guests here!" Eng said with a smile while tidying the thread, "Let's be serious and eat quickly." Aroma and others heard that Fang had left, leaving only two little girls to listen.
Baoyu chatted while watching Yinger play the role of liaison, because he asked him, "How old is he?" Eng beat the time in her hand and replied, "Sixteen."
Baoyu asked, "What's your real name?"
"Yellow," said.
Baoyu said with a smile, "That's the name. It's really an oriole. "
Yingying said with a smile, "My name is originally two words, called oriole. The girl didn't like it, so she just called Yinger, but now she has been called away. "
Baoyu said, "Sister Bao really loves you. You must go with Sister Bao when she gets married tomorrow. " Yinger giggled.
Baoyu said with a smile, "I often tell xiren that I don't know who will be lucky enough to suffer from your master's slave tomorrow."
Yinger smiled and said, "You don't know that our girl has several advantages that are not available in the world. She still looks inferior. "
Baoyu was at a loss after listening to Yinger's sweet words. Let's talk about Baochai! He asked him, "What are the advantages? Good sister, tell me in detail. "
Yinger smiled and said, "I tell you, you mustn't tell him again."
Baoyu smiled and said, "This is natural." Just then, I heard outside say, "Why is it so quiet!" " When they looked back, it was none other than Baochai.
Baoyu is busy. Please sit down. Baochai sat down and asked Yinger, "What are you playing?" Asked, looking at his hand, only half finished. Baochai said with a smile, "What's the fun? It is better to tie the jade with thread. "
A word reminded Baoyu, and Baoyu clapped his hands and smiled: "But my sister was right, I forgot. Just what color should I match? "
Baochai said, "Use variegated colors, not flatly. Red is tarnished, yellow is not obvious, and black is too dark. Let me think of a way: match the gold thread with the black pearl thread and tie it one by one to form a complex. This will look good. "
Baoyu was overjoyed. If there is a scene, ask xiren to get the gold thread. Just then, Aroma came in with two bowls of vegetables and said to Baoyu, "It's a strange day. My wife just sent someone to bring me two bowls of dishes. "
Baoyu said with a smile, "There must be a lot of food today. I brought it to all of you. "
Aroma said, "No, it was given to me by name, and I was not asked to kowtow. This is strange. "
Baochai said with a smile, "Here, you can eat. What is there to doubt? "
Aroma said with a smile, "Never. I'm embarrassed."
Baochai said with a smile, "What's so embarrassing about that? There are more embarrassing things for you tomorrow. "
Aroma does this for a reason. She knew Baochai didn't mean to be sarcastic. Remembering what Mrs. Wang said yesterday, I stopped talking and showed Baoyu the rice. She said, "Wash your hands and get the thread." I've been going out ever since. After dinner, I washed my hands and came in to get a gold thread and tie a knot with Inge. At this time, Baochai had already been sent by Xue Pan to ask her out.
Baoyu was watching the wind here when he saw that Lady Xing had sent two maids to eat two kinds of fruits. He asked him, "May I go?" If you can walk, ask your brother to come and play tomorrow. Your wife really misses it. "
Baoyu said quickly, "If you can go, you will pay your respects to your wife. The pain is better than before, please rest assured. "
While telling them to sit down, she called Qiuwen and gave half of the fruit she had just brought to Miss Lin.
Qiuwen agreed and was about to leave when she heard Daiyu talking in the courtyard. Baoyu called "please" at once. For the ending, listen to the next chapter.
