The Red Chamber is not a dream

[No.20 Eight Chapters] Sisters who are suspicious, envious, and jealous, mocking and talking, knowing the cold and warm, sister-in-law comforting the poor

But it is said that Baochai's birthday will be a few days after Baoqin's arrival.Baochai is not a publicity person at all, and seeing that Daiyu's two birthdays in previous years were not celebrated well during the filial piety period, and now she is also a guest, she didn't want to be alarmed, so she told his mother and brother.Xue Die then said: "It's all for others. Doesn't Miss Lin invite you? Now he is obviously closer to you than others. Just now that Qin'er is here, if you don't invite him, he won't be able to make him suspect that you have a girl." Hearing this, Baochai thought, "Even if you don't invite others and only invite Daiyu, your feelings can be forgiven: one is that Yunyu and Xue Pan are sworn brothers, and the other is that the two of them Alone here, so nodding yes.On the day of his birthday, everyone gave a gift and paid homage to Jia Mu and others. At noon, they had dinner with everyone. In the evening, they set up two tables of exquisite noodles in the Lixiangyuan, and specially invited the Lin family brothers and sisters.Yanyu sat outside with Xue Die and Xue Biao, and his three sisters sat at the same table with Aunt Xue.After a few glasses of wine, Aunt Xue got tired and went to rest in the room, leaving him to talk freely.

Baochai pointed at Daiyu and said with a smile to Baoqin: "Zhen Rijia said in his family letter that your sister is now visible. See if I have exaggerated?" Daiyu pushed him with a smile and said, "You chew me behind your back again. Sister, tell me quickly, what has my sister arranged for me?" Baoqin has lived in Jia's mansion for a few days, probably knows the character, and sees that Daiyu's behavior is very appropriate, and she is the best with her sister, so Wanting to get close, Nai smiled and said, "My sister always praises her in letters, but now I see her, I know he's wrong. He never said [-]% of my sister's good things." So Baochai and Daiyu laughed, Baochai said: "It will be your sister's birthday in a few days. Then we will teach him to return the table, and I will take you to eat from him." Daiyu laughed and said, "That's natural." Ask Baoqin what he likes to eat and what he likes to be stubborn, and Baoqin agrees one by one.Baochai ordered the servant girl to take out the dice again, and they made jokes.

Xue Biao outside heard the commotion inside, and smiled at Yunyu: "Little sister is out of temper, I will teach elder brother to laugh at me." Xue Die laughed and said: "What is this, we are used to it every day. Eldest sister Lin I can't get to the same place with your sister, if we get to the same place, the two of us can talk for an hour. Now that Sister Qin is here, it's even better!" Seeing that Xue Biao said the same thing in the same book, it really is very good A young man, and quick to respond, felt pity for his talent, so he winked at Xue Die.Xue Die understood, so she secretly pulled Xue Biao and said, "Your elder brother is the most knowledgeable. If you don't know where you study, you can ask for advice." Xue Biao is also a smart person. Seeing that Yunyu has an extraordinary demeanor, she intends to make friends with her. Hearing this, she hurriedly got up and bowed to the ground, saying: "In the future, I will ask my elder brother to teach you more." Yunyu hurriedly stood up and helped him and said: "If there is a problem, let's discuss it with each other. ’” They had another drink, and Jinyu and Daiyu went back to their rooms.

That night, Xiangyun stayed here, and when he got up early the next day, he came to Daiyu's side.Qia Yuyu went out with Xue Die and Xue Biao, and Baochai was talking in Daiyu's room. When they saw Xiangyun coming, they all got up and smiled.Because Xiangyun didn't see Baoqin, he asked, "where's sister Qin?" Baochai said, "the old lady called him, and he went there." I don't know what the shining cloak is.Baochai asked where it was, and Baoqin smiled and said, "It's not snowing outside. The old lady found it for me." Xiangyun came up and said, "The strange way is so shiny, it turns out to be the head of a wild duck." It's made of hair." Everyone looked at it.Everyone is amazing.Baochai said with a smile, "Sure enough, you are so lucky to be in the eyes of the old lady, and she loves you so much." Xiangyun hurriedly said to Baoqin, "You came here, and I have something to tell you. You are only here That's all for the old lady to be stubborn here, or if she is in the wife's room, it doesn't matter if the wife is there, but if the wife is not in the room, you must not go in." Baoqin asked, and Xiangyun curled his lips and said, "There are so many people in that room with bad hearts. It's for harming us." Baochai hurriedly smiled and turned away when he heard that his words didn't sound right.When Daiyu heard the words, she knew that Xiangyun was referring to Mrs. Wang, but she didn't call her the second wife. She called her wife, but she didn't know where to put Mrs. Xing. She glanced at him and saw that Baochai changed the subject. No theory, just smiled and refused to speak.

Here Xiangyun looked at Baoqin for a long time, and said with a smile: "It's strange that the old lady has left the clothes here for a long time, and even Baoyu is not willing to give them. This dress is only suitable for him. If someone else wears it, it is really Not worthy." When Daiyu heard the words, she was angry and funny, and said to herself, "If he said that intentionally, it's not true; but when he said that, he compared himself with Baochai to Baoqin.He didn't answer the conversation at the moment, just sat and drank tea.Pian Hupo came again, greeted Baochai with a few people, and said to Baochai with a smile: "The old lady said, tell Miss Bao not to worry about Miss Qin. He is still young, let him do what he likes, what he wants Just go here." Baochai hurriedly got up and agreed, then pushed Baoqin and laughed: "You go live with the old lady, be careful and we force you. I don't believe that my things are not as good as you?"

During the conversation, Baoyu came in. He was even more happy to see that several people were there.Xiangyun didn't say anything when he saw Daiyu. He just said that he was really envious of Baoqin, but said with a smile, "Although sister Bao is talking obstinately, some people really think so." Daiyu saw that Xiangyun hadn't noticed Baochai yet. The words were teasing him, and it was not easy to remind him, for fear of making Baochai unhappy, he was thinking how to interrupt the past, when Amber pointed at Baoyu and smiled and said, "It's him who is really annoyed." Xiangyun smiled and said: " He's not like that." Hu Po laughed again: "Which one is that? There are all these people in this room, could it be our Miss Lin?" Xiang Yun remained silent.Baoyu hurriedly said: "It must not be Sister Lin. He was good with Sister Bao, and now he treats Sister Qin just like his own sister. Don't talk about it." Baochai also laughed: "That's true. Lin girl Seeing Qin'er, it hurts more than me to like it, why is it annoying?" Seeing Xiangyun's expression, Daiyu obviously said it was her own, and thought that she was thinking of reminding him just now, but she didn't want him to be like this. Next he sneered, secretly said: "Yun girl doesn't have any bad intentions, but in the end, speak up quickly, I don't know how many people I will offend. If I mentioned him just now, it is inevitable that he will not doubt me. It shows that it is difficult to be a good person." Not obvious, just playing the Baoqin to talk, and ordered Xueyan to fetch fruit to eat with several people.Baoyu was afraid that Daiyu would feel uncomfortable when Jia's mother hurt Baoqin, but now he saw that his behavior was frank and close to Baoqin, so he felt relieved, because he thought: "He and Sister Bao used to be good, but now it seems that he is better than others. It's ten times better. I just don't know where I can't get into his eyes, and I'm always indifferent to me." Seeing that Xiangyun was a little uncomfortable at the side, he was afraid of neglecting him, so he hurriedly joked with him.

Just as he was talking, he saw Chunyan from his house coming here to give him a cloak, and said: "Grandma just sent Sister Biyue to say that it's snowing today, and I want to discuss asking someone to write a poem tomorrow." Before I finished speaking, I saw Suyun, Li Wan's girl, coming, and seeing so many people here, she smiled and said, "Amitabha, all the girls love me so much, it saves me a lot of running. Our grandma invited a few people to go over and discuss how to start a society." What's the matter?" Hearing this, several people came to Li Wan's side together.

But Mrs. Xing heard that Biyue had come to welcome Spring and Xiuyan, and seeing that it was snowing outside, she hurriedly said to Xia Xi, the maid beside her, "Go get you a cloak for Miss Xing. I don't think he ever prepared a snow jacket, no It must be frozen." Hearing this, Xia Xi found a crane cloak with a navy blue face in the box and came out. Mrs. Xing looked at it and said, "Although it is thick, it is not worn by their young girls. Look for my other clothes. " While talking, Feng'er came over again, holding a big red feather gauze cloak in his hand, and said to Mrs. Xing: "Madam, our grandma saw that it was snowing, I'm afraid Miss Xing didn't bring a snow coat, so take it first One of mine was worn by Ms. Xing. Grandma said that although this dress was made in the old year, she hadn't worn it yet, so please don't be disgusted with it, just wear it for a while." Mrs. Xing heard this, and she liked that Sister Feng had considered it carefully. Nai smiled and said: "Our Feng girl is usually very careful, but now she is in confinement, and she is still so troublesome." Xiuyan also thanked her in a hurry, and she wanted to thank her in person. Madam Xing said with a smile: "You The second sister-in-law is probably resting now, so I don't need to bother him. If you really want to thank him, you and Brother Ruo can make some small clothes." Xiuyan needle thread was originally good, and said after hearing the words: "Auntie is right, Sister Feng'er thanked my second sister-in-law for me, and asked Brother Ruo what fancy style he likes, and I made it with him." Mrs. Xing smiled and said, "What a silly girl, what do you know about Ruo'er's age? You can ask his mother That's serious." Just as she was talking, Yingchun found her own cloak and a pair of boots that Xuetian was wearing, and Xiuju brought them over.Mrs. Xing smiled and said: "Your second sister-in-law has already sent one. It's hard for you to think about it, but your sister is taller, and it doesn't suit you to wear it. Good boy, teach the girl to take it away." Forget it." Yingchun agreed, and said, "I'm afraid my sister never brought shoes. The snow looks heavy, and I'm afraid it's hard to walk if the shoes are wet. These boots are also new. Don't laugh at me, sister. You can wear them. I will teach others how to do it some other day." Xiuyan saw that Yingchun was so concerned and humble, so she thanked her and ordered Zhuan'er to take it.Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "You can change in my room and go with your second sister. Don't tell your sister-in-law to wait too long." After Xiuyan heard this, she changed her clothes and shoes in the inner room, and went with Yingchun. come here.

Seeing that all the sisters were there, Xiangyun saw that everyone was here, so he said to Li Wan, "Hurry up and discuss poetry! Let me know whose boss is it?" Li Wan said, "I'm the longest one, so naturally I'll come to the first club Invitation. I don’t think there are any good days these days. It just so happens that it’s snowing today. It’s better to “choose a day rather than bump into the sun.” It’s better for us to form a club, to welcome the newcomers, and to write poems, so we can kill two birds with one stone. What do you think?" Baoyu said first: "Sister-in-law is right. It's just that it's late today, and if it comes tomorrow, I'm afraid that the snow will clear up, so it's not as interesting as snow." Xichun said, "It's still snowing outside here. Even if it stops tomorrow, it will be enough to reward you this night." Everyone heard the words and agreed, but Li Wan felt uncomfortable because he felt that his place was very close to Mrs. Wang's residence, so he said, "Although my place is good , it’s not as good as those pavilions on the northwest corner of our mansion. The place there was originally big, and the situation was originally for enjoying the scenery. Now I’ve sent people to cage the kang, and we’ll all have a stove to write poems tomorrow, wouldn’t it? Wonderful?" Everyone laughed and said yes, and Li Wan said again: "Since we started a club, we should also get together. The old lady may not be happy about it, so let's go on our own. Six qian silver is enough for each of you. I'm here. They don't count the newcomers, there are four members in total. Ask the brothers if they come, and if they come, they will also pay one member, and no matter how much is left, it will be on me." Baochai We all agreed.Xiangyun asked again what the topic was, and Li Wan smiled and said, "I've made up my mind. I'll talk about it tomorrow, so you won't be able to sleep all night." Come.

[To be honest, Xiangyun's EQ is a bit low...but there are still cuteness. When Mr. Cao wrote, he also wrote about the shortcomings and advantages~]
