In March of that year, it was a good time for warblers to fly and grass to grow and willow buds to bloom everywhere.At a glance, the street is full of luxuriant green trees like umbrellas, tall and straight, covering a lot of the sunlight from the sky.

At that time, Liu Qing was just a small Imperial Academy, but because he was valued by the second prince back then, he had accumulated a lot of contacts in Beijing.When his mother passed her birthday, many officials in the city came to congratulate her. There were many cars and horses in front of the gate of the Liu Mansion. From time to time, a magnificently decorated carriage stopped in front of two stone lions, and one by one came down from above. The official in brocade smiled at Liu Qing and said, "Liu Hanlin, I heard that the old lady in the mansion is celebrating her birthday today, so we came here specially to celebrate her birthday. You will definitely welcome us, right?"

"Where is this?" Liu Qing said with a smile, "It's so glorious to have you come to the humble house, how can you not welcome it? Please come in quickly."

It's like a scene where the host and guest enjoy themselves.

□□ is the home field of these ladies and wives, so Mrs. Meng hurriedly greets them.She is the mistress of the house, so she can't shirk it, but fortunately, she is also from a family who has read a lot of poetry and books, and she advances and retreats politely, which has won praise from everyone.

It's just that although it looks harmonious on the surface, there are inevitably voices of discussion underneath.A lady lightly touched the arm of the companion next to her, and said in a low voice, "Hasn't Liu Hanlin ever had a son or a daughter?"

"That's not true," the companion shook his head slightly, taking advantage of no one's attention, and whispered, "I heard that there is a maid in the mansion who left a concubine for Hanlin... Yue is probably four or five years old now, right?"

"So, it's not Liu Hanlin's problem?" The lady seemed to be keen on these gossip and secrets, and immediately moved closer when she heard the words, "Why didn't I see her today? Could it be because I am a bad farm that can't produce crops, so I have some thoughts of treating my sons and daughters harshly—"

"Ms. Zhao!" The wife who was traveling with her hurriedly pulled her hand when she heard this, "You are crazy to say such things in this place!"

The lady surnamed Zhao suddenly realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and she was talking about right and wrong in someone else's territory, and she was a little embarrassing immediately.Busily raised his glass and took a sip of rice wine, and stopped talking.

It's just that if she didn't say anything, someone else would inevitably ask: "I heard that there is still a concubine young lady in the house, why didn't you bring it out?"

Mrs. Meng was originally helping to pour the wine with a smile on her face, but when she heard this, most of the smile on her face disappeared immediately.She pursed her lips slightly, and looked at the person who spoke, until she felt guilty when she saw that person, then she frowned, and said indifferently: "She is young, can't stand the wind, and doesn't like to see life." People, thank you for your concern."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, knowing that this was just a casual excuse, but it was not easy to say, so they could only smile and raise their glasses to cover up the matter.

At this time, Jia Shezhi's first wife, Mrs. Zhang, had not passed away, so Liu Qing could be regarded as her little uncle, so naturally she also came to the banquet.Because Baoyu was bored in the mansion, he made a fuss with her and followed her, poking her head at the mat where the female relatives were sitting.Before, I just looked at the delicate looks of these ladies and ladies, but then I felt that no one was playing with her, and those ladies saw his pink carvings, and there was no one who didn't love them, and all of them would stretch out Get out and pinch two.Baoyu's cheeks were pinched red like haze, and he couldn't bear it any more. Taking advantage of Zhang's unprepared moment, he sneaked out alone.

He was only three years old at the time, with a small body, most of the servants passing by hadn't noticed him.Even if you notice it, you don't take it seriously.Baoyu staggered all the way to catch a colorful butterfly, and his round arms, which looked like lotus roots, fluttered here and there, and gradually went deep into the flowers and trees.The only thing in his eyes was this butterfly with an unusual color, he didn't notice where he was at the moment, he chased after him without looking at the ground, not only did he never catch the butterfly, but he tripped over a small stone and ruthlessly I took a hard fall.

Baoyu, who was lying on the grass leaves, glanced down at his chubby hand that was scratched by the ground, pursed his mouth in grievance, and wanted to cry a little.

...However, at this time, none of the maids and sisters who should have rushed to him and hugged him in their arms hurriedly coaxed him.

Baoyu looked around, and realized that he was in the midst of luxuriant flowers and trees—it was just that he was still young, so he could only tell that these flowers and plants were different from the ones he was usually used to, but he couldn't tell that these flowers and plants were different from the ones he was used to for a long time. No one has ever trimmed it.The ground was full of fallen flowers and dead branches. He patted his legs and tried to stand up, but then he saw a dark thing crawling past his feet.

Baoyu: ...

A moment later, a mournful wail resounded through the entire west courtyard.

Even the innocent passing worm was frightened by his earth-shattering cries, turned its head blankly, and looked at Baoyu with a pair of small eyes under its tentacles, Baoyu accidentally lowered his head and looked at it, Immediately, "Wow" cried even more fiercely.

"Wow wow wow..."

He sat in the pile of grass and wiped his tears. While crying, he tried to stand up, his small body staggered here and there, and the tears rolled down.

Maybe it was annoyed by the crying, and an impatient voice came from not far away: "Why are you crying?"

Baoyu rubbed her eyes, shrugged her small shoulders, her throat was still a little choked: "There are bugs."

After he said this, he remembered to take a look to see who was the one who asked him the question just now, but he looked around, but he didn't see any sign of anyone. I was too scared to cry anymore.

He took a few steps forward cautiously, and said softly: "That..."

"What?" The man was obviously upset.

Xiao Baoyu swallowed: "Are you...a human?"

The voice fell silent for a moment, then sneered, as if disdainful, "Of course."

Just be human!Baoyu's eyes lit up immediately, and he ran a few steps towards the place where the sound came from.When he walked out of the grass, he saw a rather simple wooden house, covered with green plants, and when the wind blew, the grass blades were easy to swing in the air, looking out.

The voice came from here.

Baoyu stretched out his hand and tried to push the door—but there was a big lock on the door. He tried his best to push the door open, but only a small crack was exposed.The small slit can accommodate a butterfly to fly in at most, but it is absolutely impossible to stuff the plump and round precious jade into it.

Baoyu tried the size and found that he could only put a few fingers in, so he had to give up.He put his face close to the slit, and tried to look in with his dark eyes: "Miss, are you in there?"

People in the room: "...Miss?"

"Yes!" Baoyu blinked, then widened his eyes even further.With round eyes, he desperately tried to distinguish the human figure from the darkness inside, "Miss, what are you doing in there, how about we play together when you come out?"

The man sneered again, although it was a child's voice, but there was an adult-like indifference: "What are you playing? Playing insects?"

Baoyu: ...

He still remembered the worm just now.

He stepped back unconsciously, folded his hands together in aggrieved manner, hung his head and stopped talking.

Seeing him silent for a long time, the man couldn't hold back after all, and glanced at him through the crack of the door.When I looked at it, I saw a pink and round child pursed his mouth and let out a sound. The red dress was embroidered with delicate patterns of flowers and birds, which made the skin fair and tender even reveal light.The corners of his eyes were still a little red, obviously he looked like he had just cried, quite a bit of pity for me.

The person in the room was silent for a moment, feeling inexplicably guilty of bullying the child, so he had to compromise, and the little adult also seemed to say: "It's not that I don't want to go out, but you also saw that there is a lock on this door, right? "

"Yes!" Baoyu fiddled with the heavy lock, and asked curiously, "Then young lady, why do you lock yourself in?"

The person inside fell silent instantly, and Baoyu pressed against the door desperately, only the sound of light breathing could be heard inside.After a while, the child asked something wrong: "It's very lively outside, isn't it?"

"Yes," Baoyu simply sat down on the ground and pointed to him with his fingers, "Not only people from the Zhang family came, but also a sister from the Li family, oh, that sister was very beautiful, but she still Can't compare to my brother; and..."

He said a long list of this sister and that brother in one breath, all of which praised each other's appearance.The child staying in the room couldn't find it funny when he heard it: "Aside from being beautiful, can't you find another place to focus on?"

On the contrary, Baoyu was surprised: "Apart from being beautiful, do you need anything else?"

That person: ...

This inexplicable logic really failed.

He sighed again, and then asked again: "Then...you can see Master Liu in this mansion? What does he look like?"

There was some anxiety in his voice, Baoyu was still young and couldn't hear it at all, but he asked strangely: "Why, have you never met Master Liu before in this mansion?"

For a moment, the people inside fell silent again.The air was filled with the fragrance of grass leaves, and Baoyu waited for a long time, before hearing the child's faint answer: "...No."

"Lord Liu, he," Baoyu grabbed the leaves on the side, tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally said firmly, "The raw ones are also very beautiful."

The child inside seemed to be completely speechless, and decisively abandoned the topic.After a sound of rummaging in the room, he stretched out two fingers and handed something out through the crack of the door: "Here, you can play with this."

What he was holding in his hand was a butterfly still trying to flap its wings.

Baoyu's eyes lit up a little, and he couldn't wait to pick it up: "This is beautiful!"

"Isn't this also a bug?" The man inside asked back, with a faint smile.

"It's a beautiful bug," Baoyu pouted, "A beautiful bug is not a bug."

"You..." the child sighed with a low voice, then coughed softly as if he was choked by something.The coughing sound made Baoyu a little worried, and the butterfly didn't care about it for a while, so she casually placed it on the grass beside her, and tried to look inside: "Miss sister, are you sick?"

"...It's nothing." The child barely suppressed the cough in his throat, and then whispered.

His voice was also a little hoarse, not like the clear and clear voice of ordinary children.Baoyu became even more worried, lying on the door panel and twisting left and right, but he couldn't see why, so he had to touch his body again, and finally found a piece of jade that he received on his birthday. It slipped in through the crack of the door: "Here, take it and buy medicine!"

"I'm afraid this is very expensive?" The child's voice contained some worry, "You are with me, are you afraid of being told by your family?"

"I'll just say—" Baoyu puffed out her small chest, and thought hard, "I'll just say it's lost! You can take it with confidence, and besides, you just gave me a butterfly, so I should return the gift."

"But butterflies, they're just little things you get everywhere—"

"That's not it!" Baoyu exclaimed angrily, "I've never caught it!"

He patted the door panel consolingly, as if patting the back of a young lady, "Besides, whether it's jade or butterflies, they are all things I like very much! It's a good thing to use something you like to make something else you like." Isn't it natural to return the gift?"

Because I like... so there is no high or low.

The child was silent for a moment, seemed to be touched by this sentence, and then asked softly, "What's your name?"

"My name is Baoyu." Baoyu stuffed the psychic jade hanging around his neck into it, "because when I was born, I held this jade in my mouth. Where's Miss Sister?"

The child handed the jade out again, and said in a low voice, "I don't like my name, so you don't need to know it."

"But how can I find you later?" Baoyu was anxious.

"Just wait," the child's voice carried a smile, "When I grow up, you will only look for those who are born with the best looks, I must be more beautiful than they were born—— No, maybe you don't need to look for me anymore, before that, I will definitely find you first."

They solemnly stretched out their little fingers in the spring sky, hooked them tightly in the narrow door, and shook them.Baoyu was still a little worried, and said: "You must remember!"

"Well, I remember."

Not long after that, a servant finally found this place, and when he saw Baoyu, he felt like a savior, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to take him away.Baoyu pursed her lips all the way, desperately turned her head to look at the small wooden house, after all, she couldn't hold back these servants, and was carried back to the back hall.

He would not know that after that, there was also a child in the dark hut trying to look out - the world he could see was only such a long and slender sliver, and only the figure peeking through the crack of the door appeared. one person.

This person even talked to him more than his biological parents, and he smiled innocently and innocently, obviously being extremely pampered.The child was thinking like this, but there was no trace of jealousy in his heart. He closed the crack of the door tightly again, and retreated back to the corner without making a sound.

The butterfly beside him who accidentally broke into this world has been taken away, but he doesn't feel lonely at all, he just squeezes the jade in his hand tighter.

...It's better to look better.

He made up his mind.

Otherwise, even if he went to the door, that person wouldn't recognize him, would he?

Ten years later, the market is full of people.He inserted the initials, quietly waiting for the men who had been arranged before to come and buy him as the master, and put on a play by the way, to teach his good aunt a lesson.

But there was a person who didn't win, he insisted on coming forward and buying him.He was full of impatience at first, and felt that the person in front of him seemed to mess up his plan, but then, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a handsome young man standing at the corner of the street. , brocade clothes, looking at this side quietly, obviously the master of the person in front of him.

And that man's chest happened to be upright, with a piece of jade hanging that he could recognize at a glance even from a long distance away.

He kept silent, squeezed the shiny jade that he hid in his sleeve even tighter, then showed his face and smiled lightly: "I am willing to go with you."

The old woman became anxious immediately, and quietly tugged on his sleeve, indicating that this was not the person they had arranged for.He pushed her hand away calmly, and the smile on his face deepened: "I just don't know if there are still servants who will serve you in that young master's room?"

At that time, it was already another year of spring.Standing in the spring scenery of the city, he felt as if he was still in a small wooden house. Through the various crowds in front of him, it was like passing through the narrow crack of the door, Only one person was seen.

Here, I got you.

The author has something to say: Baoyu: Wait, I was just a baby then!

Liu Hanyan: No matter, you agreed.

Baoyu: (Filled with righteous indignation) Your mind is really dirty, I am still so young, you...you...

Liu Hanyan: It doesn't matter, anyway, if you hold my little finger, you are mine.
