Tanchun saw that she was only crying and could not speak for a long time.Tanchun hurriedly interjected: "What's the matter, you tell me." Then the maid sobbed and said: "Since Miss Xia married into Master Xue's house, she has regarded Sister Xiangling as a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. I always want to pull it out and get rid of it. No, it has only been two or three days, and I want sister Xiangling to come to bed. Every night, I call her to pour tea, or ask her to beat her legs for a while. Let me stop for a while. When I was sleepy and fell asleep for a while, she woke her up again and said that she was thirsty and so on. After three or two days like this, she will become weaker and weaker." Baoyu stumbled and sighed: "I paid it back, I thought it was this Ms. Xia Jia has read at least, and I want her to join the society to compose poems if she knows how to read, but what kind of person is she?" Baoyu asked again: "Sister Xiangling, what's going on now?" The girl said with tears in her eyes: "These days I have been lazy to eat, and I don't like to talk anymore, I just sit at the window every day, holding a book of poems in my hand and watching, weeping secretly while watching. "

Baoyu turned back to Tanchun and said, "I'm going to have a look over there now, do you want to follow me?" Tanchun said, "I'm fine now, so I'll just go and see what that Xia Jingui is. look." Baoyu nodded, and the three walked together.

When I arrived at Lixiangyuan, I saw a woman sweeping the remnant snow outside. When she saw Baoyu and others walking, she nodded and bowed to say hello.Baoyu ignored her, but Tanchun nodded to her.After walking for a while, Baoyu heard a woman inside pinching her waist and scolding the little maid.I just heard her scolding: "This damn little hoof, poured such hot tea to scald my old lady to death, my old lady will have you chopped up and fed to the dogs tomorrow, and I want to see what color your heart is, don't think I don’t know, I just want to pretend to be a charmer to seduce Xue Pan, that good-for-nothing, if I catch you, I will definitely make you look good!”

Baoyu stepped in and said, "Who do you want to look good?" Baoyu opened his voice on purpose and asked.Xia Jingui was taken aback by surprise and quickly put away her flamboyant appearance.She raised her eyes and saw that it was Baoyu. She said disdainfully: "Oh, I thought it was someone, but it turned out that Baoyu has come. Look at you, you look like treasure and jade. Don't stay here for a long time. If you don't want to hurt your head, you can go It's not good." He said with a heavy breath while intentionally slapping the wounded.Baoyu ignored him, and said with a curled lip, "I haven't seen anyone in this place who can hurt me." When Xia Jingui saw Baoyu, who was a frail scholar, he thought he was easy to bully, but found that he still had a bit of temper.Not much to say, since he entered the room, because he was out of breath for a while and couldn't beat Baoyu with his hands, he had to throw the porcelain bottle to vent.

Baoyu sighed: "Brother Xue is such a person, how can he marry a man who is more fierce and savage than himself." Tanchun shook his head silently and smiled wryly.A group of people walked to the house where the maid lived, passed the screen wall, passed through the Baosha, and came to Xiangling's residence.See here the decoration is single, the structure is simple and monotonous.Baoyu said, "I've never been here before. How can the place where sister Xiangling lives is not as good as a maid?"

Tanchun said: "This is not where I used to live. I think it's because Xia Jingui came here. A few years ago, I also came to play with Sister Bao, and I also came here, but I saw that Xiangling lived in Xia Jingui's current residence. Inside the building."

Baoyu sighed, "Let's go in." As soon as he walked in, he saw Xiangling lying on the table with his eyes closed.As soon as Baoyu stepped in, Xiangling hurriedly got up when she heard the noise: "Grandma, I was wrong, I just..." Seeing her like this, Baoyu felt troubled in his heart.Walking to the front, Xiangling saw that Baoyu's tears were also falling down with a splash, like a reservoir bursting its embankment, and it was released at that moment.Baoyu said with tears: "Sister Xiangling, you have suffered. Don't worry, I will find a way to save you." Xiangling knew Baoyu on a daily basis, and also understood that this was just to comfort herself, and she still cared about herself with tears Looking at Baoyu and Tanchun.Baoyu took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xiangling.He also said: "Sister Xiangling, you should eat some at least, don't starve to death."

Xiangling shook her head and said with pale and chapped lips: "I can't eat it." Baoyu hurriedly persuaded: "Don't you believe me? Just take care of yourself. I will definitely have a way to protect you." Then he said to Tanchun: "I'll go and tell Sister Bao in a while, let Sister Xiangling live with her for a while, and when I go back to the old lady, I'll find another place to live." Tanchun nodded and said, "That's good." As he said that, he also persuaded Xiangling for a while.Seeing Baoyu's cautiousness, Xiangling was also very happy, and said, "I thank Erye, in the future...in the future." Baoyu knew what Xiangling was going to say, and hurriedly said, "Don't say anything, how can I just sit there with my eyes open?" Watching my sister suffer?" Xiangling burst into tears when she heard this.

Baoyu thought to himself: "I think, as long as I separate Xiangling and Xia Jingui so that she can't be persecuted, will I be able to protect her?" Thinking of this, Baoyu felt a little relieved.He talked to Xiangling again, and gave some orders to the maid just now.Baoyufang and Tanchun went out, and Baoyu said to Tanchun at the intersection, "Sister Tanchun, let's go back first. I have to see Sister Bao." Tanchun understood and went all the way.

Baoyu opened the curtain and came in, and saw Baochai and Yinger embroidering there.Baochai was wearing a lavender shirt, her hair was coiled, her face was fair without makeup, her lips were rosy and shiny.When Baoyu came to him, a light fragrance came to his nostrils.Baoyu bent over and said, "Sister Bao, good!" Baochai and Ying'er realized that someone had come in, and they were really taken aback, and the needle in their hand pierced their fingers unexpectedly.Baochai: "Ah", let go of the needle and Juanzi, bright red blood slowly flowed out from her white fingers.Baoyu hurried over to hold her hand, looked carefully and frowned sadly, and said, "It's all my fault." Seeing that Yinger was there, Baochai held Baoyu's hand again, blushing and hurriedly pulled it back.He pursed his lips and said, "Brother Bao, it's none of your business, it's all because of my carelessness."

As Baochai was talking, she said to Ying'er who was standing beside her, "Ying'er, don't you go pour tea yet."Baoyu quietly sat beside Baochai, and said, "Sister Baochai, I'm here today, and I want to ask you something." Baochai wiped her fingers with white silk, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I said Well, if you don’t have anything to go to the Three Treasures Hall, if you can come today, you must have something to ask me, let’s talk about something, if you can obey me, I will definitely obey you.”

Baoyu thought in her heart: "Sister Bao is really thoughtful, gentle and virtuous. I also thought that if Sister Lin hadn't lived in my heart, this Sister Bao must be the one in my heart. Although Sister Bao is always dull and cold. People feel that they can only be seen from a distance and cannot be desecrated, but they cannot be hated."

Seeing that Baochai responded first, Baoyu said, "It's not a big deal, but I can't bear to see sister Xiangling torturing Xia Jingui like this every day. I want to take her elsewhere, but it's just for a while." I can't think of where to go, but I just think that Sister Bao's courtyard is still quiet, and Xia Jingui dare not come." Baochai said, "Oh, it turned out to be for this matter. This matter is my family's business. I should take care of it, but I have to trouble Brother Bao to worry about it, of course there is no problem, I wanted to do this, but I forgot it for a while." Although Baoyu didn't like her words.But she always agreed and felt more at ease.
