[Red Mansion] The daughter of the Lin family knows magic

44. Baochai's birthday

Here, Qingwen listened to the people around her every day, not saying that Jia Baoyu was good, but not saying that Jia Baoyu was bad, but the objective statement made Qingwen believe these words more and more.

Qingwen walked out of the house in a trance, leaning on the pillars in the porch, staring at the dead trees in the yard in a daze.

Everyone used to say that Baoyu is a good man, unlike other men in the mansion who don't take the maids seriously and lift their hands away after playing. If you can follow him, you will have a good life. Women, especially women who are aunts, don't they look forward to the pity of men?At the beginning, I also thought it was like this, but now that I think about it, Baoyu is sympathetic to girls, and he is good to everyone, from the sisters at the top to the little maids at the bottom. There is not much difference. In this way, what is the difference between Baoyu and those unlucky men?I can only hate that I was blinded by wealth and fooled by others, so I thought that Baoyu was a good man!Fortunately, I got out early, otherwise I don't know how it will end up.The maids around Baoyu all wanted to climb up to Baoyu, but they didn't think about it, the second wife was still there, Baoyu was the only son of the second wife, how could the second wife not regard him as her lifeblood?Ordinary people, where can they easily climb up?

"Sister Qingwen, what are you doing here?"

A little maid took out the charcoal basin in the room and poured out the charcoal ashes. Seeing Qingwen standing blankly on the porch, she couldn't help asking.

Qingwen woke up, only felt a chill all over her body, and said: "It's nothing, just keep thinking about things."

The little servant girl said: "Sister, let's go into the house quickly to keep warm. If you are sick, you will be fine."

Qingwen nodded, and the little maid carefully went down the steps with the charcoal basin in hand.

Qingwen took a deep breath, turned and entered the room.

At this time, other things were already being talked about in the room: "Sister Qiao of Lian's second grandma's family has recovered from acne, and everyone in the house is tight!"

Lin Daiyu said: "It's not a terrible thing for a child to have acne, take care of it carefully, and it will be fine!"

"No matter what, it's all thanks to God. There have been too many things in the mansion recently."

"Yeah, it's very chaotic. It's like this at the beginning of the year. It's hard to say this year."

Everyone couldn't help being silent when they thought of Jia Yuanchun's trouble with his relatives this time. This can be regarded as a kind of taboo!

At this time, Xueyan suddenly said in a treacherous way: "Actually, there is another thing, you don't know, at that time everyone was busy preparing to welcome the concubine Xiande's family, no one noticed at all!"

"what's up?"

Xueyan blushed, and said: "It's better not to talk about it, the master forbids us girls to listen to such things."

Lin Daiyu's black line, but everyone else understands it. The master forbids the girl to listen to the matter. It's not all the secrets in the house, but rather something. The girl is not old, and her heart is pure and clean. If she listens This kind of thing, it's not good to change your temperament.

So Shuling said with a serious face: "From now on, don't mention such things in front of the girl. If you let me know, I will take your skin off!"

Xueyan hurriedly responded, this kind of thing is also a quick talk, she has an eager desire to share such a secret with everyone.

In fact, Lin Daiyu knew about this. Ever since she came to the Red Mansion, Lin Daiyu felt that she had a very good memory. Not only did she remember the magic books she had memorized before, but she was very clear about the Dream of the Red Mansion, which she only read twice. Xueyan wanted to say The matter of retiring should be the matter of Duo girls. The matter of Duo girls and Jia Lian finally became a crime in Jia's house.

But this matter is not worth paying too much attention to. Lin Daiyu can't feel any pity and sympathy for people like Duo girl.

In two days, it will be Xue Baochai's 15th birthday, which is also the legendary coming-of-age ceremony, that is, the ceremony of reaching the Jiji, but it seems that the book does not describe it in detail, but it is written in detail about the incident of Lin Daiyu being humiliated at the banquet.

I don't know how Jia's family will celebrate Xue Baochai's birthday this time, and will Xue Baochai show up?

But no matter what, it is always right to prepare first.

On the second day, Shu Mi, who was dedicated to his duties, sent a message that the old lady took 100 taels of silver for Miss Xue's birthday.

100 taels, saving Jia Yuanchun is really extraordinary, but in the original book there are only 40 taels!Wang Xifeng was still struggling with what to do for Xue Baochai's birthday, and asked Jia Lian what to do, and Jia Lian asked her to add [-]% more than sister Lin in previous years!But this time, it's not just adding one!But N Cheng!

Lin Daiyu immediately understood what Jia's family was thinking. Will Jia's mother be inclined to Xue Baochai this time?In that case, everything would be wonderful!

Mother Jia sent people to ask Xue Baochai what she liked and what operas she liked to listen to. Sure enough, Xue Baochai said it according to Jiamu's preferences.My heart is even more ironic, I feel that this girl is really wonderful, if it is born in my own family, it would be so wonderful, I am afraid it will be another Yuanchun!It's a pity that she is an imperial merchant, not the daughter of an official family!

Thinking of this, Mother Jia said to Wang Xifeng who was beside her: "It's easy to do this time. It's rare for your sister Bao to have such a serious birthday, so you must do it well! This time it's up to you!"

Wang Xifeng is the most manipulative person in Jia's mansion, and immediately said: "That's natural, this time I will definitely give Xue's younger sister a decent job! I think that when the time comes, the palace The empress will reward things inside, and we have to prepare one when the time comes."

"You are still thoughtful, go to work!"

On the day when I got 21, everyone in Jia's mansion prepared it early. Because everyone knew Xue Baochai's heroic feat of saving the virtuous concubine, everyone in Jia's mansion knew that Xue Baochai was different from the past at this time. In her heart, the three girls from Jia's mansion were going to be behind her, so they all did their best.

Sure enough, Concubine Xiande sent a little eunuch to appreciate things early in the morning, and she said that she couldn't hear the newly bought little opera singer at home when she was visiting her relatives. Today is Xue Baochai's birthday, so she asked them to come out and sing. That's right, the other mansion should not be extravagant and wasteful in the future, this should be some rumors heard in the palace, so he incidentally said such a sentence.

Everyone accepted the order sincerely, and Xue Baochai was even more glorious.

At this time, Xue Baochai was still wearing a veil. Naturally, it was not the transparent veil in the TV dramas of later generations. Xue Baochai wore it to cover her face tightly, but on her head was the one awarded by the concubine Xiande. The most important thing is the silk and satin rewarded by Concubine Xiande, so that people know that she still admires Concubine Xiande very much.

Seeing this scene, Jia's mother was also very satisfied. Xue Baochai was a caring and sensible child who knew how to advance and retreat.

The little father-in-law who was waiting to pass the decree was invited to drink tea, and all the family members went into the room prepared by Jia Mu in the inner courtyard, sat down, ate wine and listened to the opera, because it was still very cold at this time, so there were not many tricks.

"I have been staying in the house these days, and it is rare to come out today, so I would like to express my thanks to the old lady and all the wives, grandmas, and brothers and sisters. I have seen all the medicines you sent, but I should thank you most , It’s Sister Lin, Sister Lin’s medicine is the best, I used it very well, and the scars went away quickly, my mother and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving me such a good medicine.”

Lin Daiyu didn't expect Xue Baochai's birthday speech to be like this, and hurriedly said: "Sister Bao, why are you so polite, you can sacrifice your life to save the virtuous concubine, I have no such ability, so I can only care about my sister."

The two sisters talked for a while before sitting down again. Lin Daiyu felt very tired, and Xue Baochai's airs were really good.

Seeing their sisters being friendly, Old Madam Jia was also very happy, and said: "Seeing how friendly you are, I feel relieved. Your sisters and sisters support each other, so that you can live a better life in the future."

Lin Daiyu smiled faintly. She felt that if she really had to rely on these sisters, she might as well rely on herself.

After the play was ordered, the little actors came up and babbled and sang.

Lin Daiyu kept looking, which one looked like her?To tell you the truth, although these opera singers just stood in front of them and sang, they were not far away, but they took this performance very seriously, and it was the first time to show it in front of the master, so it was extra grand, so their faces were painted with oil paint If you want to say which one is like yourself, Lin Daiyu didn't see it.

When Lin Daiyu was bored, she saw Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu whispering together, and Lin Daiyu said in her heart: It's not that I want to eavesdrop, it's because I can hear too well.In fact, Lin Daiyu used magic, and she really did it on purpose.

Sure enough, I heard what Xue Baochai said to Jia Baoyu, "...there is no fate to be separated in a blink of an eye, and there is nothing to worry about when you are naked..." Lin Daiyu raised the corners of her mouth. I recited it with Jia Baoyu, I don't know if I was prepared or I was rebellious in my bones, but I recited it so slippery.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu really slapped his knees and drew circles, Lin Daiyu said, "What is my cousin happy about?"

Jia Baoyu almost said it when he was happy, but Xue Baochai stopped the conversation and said, "It's nothing, it's just an interesting thing I just heard. I learned it from Baoyu and let him enjoy it too."

Lin Daiyu snorted, then turned her face away, as if she was not interested, so what if she actually asked?Xue Baochai is definitely not willing to say it. Jia Baoyu is so weak that he probably won't say it if Xue Baochai refuses to let him.

After a while, a person came in from outside and whispered something in Wang Xifeng's ear. Wang Xifeng's face changed, and he turned to understand Jiamu: "Old ancestor, something happened in my house, I have to go Look."

"Go!" Jia's mother was in high spirits listening to the opera, so she didn't stay any longer.

"Sister Bao and everyone are very happy, if you have anything to tell the people around you."

Everyone responded one after another, and Wang Xifeng left in a hurry.

Lin Daiyu thought, since Wang Xifeng, who was the first to speak out, is gone, there should be no problem, right?

Unexpectedly, Shi Xiangyun said at this time: "You see, that actor looks very much like a person."
