The Red Chamber is not a dream

[No.30 Seven Chapters] On the economy, become a parrot and learn from others

Suddenly it is the day of the announcement.The members of Lin Xue's family were waiting for the list as early as possible, just waiting for the list to be released; Yunyu and Xue Die didn't care, but Hanqi hosted a banquet and went there.Daiyu had breakfast with Jia Mu that morning. She was going to play with Baochai in Lixiangyuan. Yes, it is said that it is hot this day, and I will make summer clothes for the girls, now please go and pick some materials." Now Daiyu and Baochai sisters are also leading the mansion together with Sanchun, Kuang Yu and Xue Pan. Every year with Jia's silver, in case his sister and Aunt Xue used it, they went to Mrs. Wang together when they heard the words.Aunt Li felt that she couldn't bear it, and she was afraid that people would say that his mother and daughter came to fight the autumn wind, so Li Wen and Li Qi were not allowed to come here.Li Wan didn't like to force him, so he had to go over by himself.

For a while, several people gathered in Mrs. Wang's room, and they saw Caixia and jade bracelets stacking materials there, and Tanchun was watching from the side. Seeing a few people coming, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "When I was packing up the day before yesterday." By chance, I found these materials. Look at you sisters, have you ever thought about it?" Seeing that Li Wen and Li Qi were not there, he asked Li Wan, "Where are your two younger sisters?" Li Wan had to laugh and said: "My aunt said that the two of them brought their own clothes, so they don't need to bother to make them here." Mrs. Wang felt a little displeased when she heard this, and said, "It's just done by hand, what's worth it? What's more, the weather is now It's hot too, so make some new clothes for summer. Isn't it coming to the Dragon Boat Festival? When the time comes, teach them to hurry up and make them, so that you can wear them and play with others." Li Wan knew that Mrs. Wang was annoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly called out , and went to call his sister.

It turns out that during the Duanyang Festival, the female relatives of all families in Beijing visit each other, and it is inevitable to meet each other; Mrs. Wang is afraid that some girls will not dress well at that time, which will break the dignity of Jia's family and make them look unattractive, so today Tete rummaged through the box to find a few pieces of leno, and taught him how to choose.Seeing Li Wan and Li Wen and Li Qi coming, Mrs. Wang ordered Li Wan to lead several people to choose and go to the room.When his sisters were watching there, they suddenly saw Baochai's girl, Wen Xing, coming, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Miss and Miss Lin, our uncle and Mr. Lin have both won!" When they heard this, they all came up to congratulate him .Baoqin hurriedly asked Wen Xing, "Which name is my brother?" Wen Xing smiled and said, "Our uncle is No. 6, and Uncle Lin is No. 2." After hearing this, all the sisters laughed and said: " This is a great happy event, let's wait for the wine." Baochai was full of joy at this time, but she was afraid that people would say that he was frivolous, so she didn't want to show it too much in her expression, so she smiled and said to Daiyu: "Finally Elder brother Lin is better than him, so it’s strange that my elder brother won’t subdue anyone else except him.” Daiyu laughed and said, “You’re just being humble for yourself, but now you’re being humble for elder brother Xue.”

Several people laughed and talked for a while, and Jin Chuan'er went inside and told Mrs. Wang about it.Mrs. Wang heard it, but she couldn't come out because she came outside to congratulate her sister.After Fang said a few words, he saw Baoyu coming, greeted Mrs. Wang, and said hello to all the sisters.Mrs. Wang put the matter aside, and only took Baoyu to ask him what books he had learned today, and why he came back so early today.Baoyu said with a smile, "Mr. has something to do today, and the teacher left early." Seeing a lot of gauze piled up on the couch, he asked, "What are you doing moving out of this trouble?" Mrs. Wang said, "Isn't that It's getting hot, so I found some materials to make clothes with your sisters and sisters. Later, I thought about talking to your big brother Xue and big brother Lin, and making two pieces with them. Now that Fang has won the tribute, Naturally, it must be wrapped fresh." Baoyu was silent when he heard the words, but sighed secretly: "I usually see that the two of them are born very well. This fame and fortune have been tainted; now I have not yet become weak, and I have learned from those people who are rich. It is a pity that Sister Bao and Sister Lin, good-looking daughters, are favored by such first-class elder brothers." So I don't like it very much.

When Mrs. Wang saw his appearance, she only suspected that he saw that the two men were not much older than him but they were already tributes, so she felt uncomfortable. She felt a little bit resentful towards Baochai and Daiyu, and she thought to herself: "But I got a tribute, and I have to come here to say it, as if I have never seen a scholar." Seeing Baoyu sitting on a chair, he hurriedly said, "It's hot here, come into my room Go." Then he went into the inner room with Baoyu, ordered Caiyun to fan him, and ordered tea to be brought in the cold water, and took the list of gifts for each family under the Duanyang to return to Jiamu.

The two Baodai sisters looked at him like this, knowing that he was always like this, they didn't care, they played the Baoqin and went over there to look at the material.But Xiangyun never saw the scene here. Seeing Baoyu go in, he followed him and laughed and said, "Second brother, why don't you go and fight with big brother Lin?" Baoyu sneered and said, "I am A vulgar and vulgar person, I think they don't want to be with me, so they might as well do their own things." Xiangyun was a little confused when he heard that, but he remembered the scene when Daiyu and Yunyu were joking. When I saw the closeness of the two of them, I was a little envious, so I followed Baoyu and smiled and said, "Now you should also meet with those people often, or talk about official career and economics, so that you can deal with world affairs in the future." Could it be that you can only be stubborn with us all day long?" Baoyu became more angry when he heard this, and sneered: "Miss, please go elsewhere and stay with me, carefully dirty your knowledge of economics."

Seeing Baoyu like this, Xiangyun knew that he would not like to hear such words, so he regretted his slip of the tongue and hurriedly said, "Second brother, don't be angry with me. It was when I heard Sister Lin talking to Big Brother Lin when I was a child." I heard it, but I saw that the two of them were talking interestingly, so I learned to say it, and I don't know what it means. You don't like it, so I don't want to talk about it in the future." Baoyu heard this, and felt like being struck by lightning. He thought to himself: "It can be seen that this official career is economically harmful to people; the daughter in the well-behaved boudoir has been poisoned by him!" I don't think Daiyu has any faults, but I just secretly complain about Yuyu.Seeing him like this, Xiangyun seemed really annoyed, thinking that it was his own words that offended him, so he was too busy to be careful.

It turns out that there is only a curtain between the two rooms here and the outside, and Xiangyun's voice is so high that Daiyu and Baochai have heard it in the outside room.When Baoqin heard this, she frowned first, and then went to look at Daiyu; Daiyu, as if she had never heard of it, took a piece of material and compared it to Baochai, and said with a smile, "my sister looks good in this color." The two Li Wen sisters, Xiuyan Yingchun and others felt embarrassed, so they all left gradually.Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Daiyu smiled at Baochai and Baoqin, "Let's go back too." Baoqin said, "Have you ever called Sister Shangyun?" Daiyu laughed and said, "My brothers and sisters have their own words If you want to say, don't we have no eyes for calling people away at this time?" Baochai knew that Daiyu was annoyed when he heard that, he used to be best with Daiyu, but now seeing Xiangyun offending him, he thought for a while , Then he laughed and said: "Let's go back. I think that after a while, my brother and the others should come here. If we can't find anyone then, it might mean that we don't care about them; Baba came back after being a tribute. You won't even greet me." Said Daiyu Baoqin laughed.Baochai sent Wen Xing to tell the boy that Daiyu was with him, and that his sisters had come from Lixiangyuan.

In the room, Baochai saw that Aunt Xue was not there, so she asked Yinqueer.Yinqueer said: "Today, someone sent a post to invite me, and my wife went out." Baochai didn't argue, but smiled at Daiyu, "Why did you offend Yun girl? I see that he is acting differently from you now." Zi Zi, if there is any reason, let’s talk about it.” Daiyu smiled and said, “Did I offend him, or did he offend me? You should ask him the reason.” Baoqin said with a smile: “Sister Yun originally It's also a bit unrestrained." But Baochai guessed that it was because of Baoyu, which was a little funny, and said: "He and Bao brothers grew up together when they were young, so they are closer than other people. I didn't see that we just quarreled, are they going to get back together soon?" Daiyu also knew that Baochai's guess was right, and said with a smile, "They are the closest ones, and those of us who are not close are an eyesore, so it's better to be stubborn." Just as they were talking, someone came to report: "Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin are here." Several people rushed out to greet each other when they heard the words. They met each other and talked and laughed for a while. Yes, he resigned from Xue's brothers and sisters and came to his room with Daiyu.Xue Die and others also knew that his brother and sister had something to say, so they didn't hold back much, so the two of them went.

In Daiyu's room, Yunyu sat on the chair and said with a smile, "Come on, who offended you?" Daiyu said, "Who offended me? I don't even know. How can you figure it out?" Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Yunyu smiled and said, "You just hide it from others, can't you hide it from me? Let me guess, it's either a girl from the Shi family or Baoyu. Both of them." Seeing that Daiyu didn't speak, she knew what she said was right, and said, "Let me hear what you said, what the hell are they doing?" Hearing this, Daiyu knew that she couldn't hide it. But he told him all the things just now, and said: "What's the reason for this Yun girl? Look at that posture, it seems that I have robbed his beloved brother. I have my own brother. Who cares about those incompetent ones?" ? If he loves it, take it away as soon as possible, so that I won't be angry." Seeing his appearance, Yuyu smiled, and said: "Don't you smell 'I don't know what it's like to be a rotten rat, and I don't stop guessing? 'Well? Why bother to have the same knowledge as him. But you don't have to indulge him. Usually, you come to this mansion as a guest. If you insist on forbearance, it will make people look different. Instead, we feel guilty. Like today It's very good." Daiyu heard that he compared Baoyu to a rotten mouse and Xiangyun to an owl, and couldn't help laughing again, saying, "I'm afraid Baoyu still thinks that she is an owl!" Xuanyu laughed. "What does he compare himself to? It's none of our business. That old owl's barking is ugly, so it doesn't matter if you don't listen to it." Dai Yufang put the matter aside and asked him about the test, and the two talked about it. No problem.

But Mrs. Wang came back from Jia Mu's place and went to her room. When she saw that his sisters had gone, she asked Jin Chuan'er, "Have you picked all the girls?" The girl has not been chosen, and she is still talking to Master Bao in the room." Mrs. Wang came to her room when she heard the words, and saw the two of them talking and laughing there. I was wiping my forehead in front of the mirror with my clothes; I was embarrassed to see Mrs. Wang coming, so I hurriedly put down my hands and said hello.Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Your sisters and sisters are all picked. Why don't you pick outside? It's because Baoyu is out of his mind. He only drags your sister to be stubborn, and doesn't teach him to look outside." He combed Xiangyun's hair, looked at him and changed his clothes outside, and went outside.So speechless.
