The Red Chamber is not a dream

[No.40 Five Chapters] Hearing Bad Words and Baochai's Heart

When they arrived at the mansion, Baochai went to his room with Daiyu.The two of them had nothing serious to talk about, but they read a book and played two games of chess. Seeing that it was getting late, Baochai talked to him and went to Lixiangyuan.Because Ying'er had gone back to talk to Yin Que'er about making the bed, Baochai didn't teach anyone to follow her. Instead, she walked slowly along the road, thinking to herself, "Brother is now the top student in high school, and his future is bright." I have everything, so I don’t want people to look down on you.” Then I thought: “My aunt usually thinks that she is better than us, although we live here and provide all our supplies, some people still think that we are here. Those who play the autumn wind don't know how much power this mansion has. If you want to come here, 'rich' is not as good as 'noble'." So he gradually walked outside Jiamu's courtyard, and arrived at a small pavilion in the mansion, but he could smell the stone behind the side of the mountain. There was chatter and chatter.When Baochai heard the words "Xue's family" coming out of the two mouths, she couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.

I just heard a girl in the other side say: "Now my aunt is very proud. According to me, our wife is kind-hearted and sees the pity of the Xue family's orphans and widows, so she taught us to live here. Now that I have won the first prize, it is a must." Even our wife doesn't care about it!" Another said: "But, living in this house for nothing makes the people in this mansion live comfortably, and they just stay here and don't leave! It’s as if I don’t know, if it’s not for that reason, it’s not for him to be the number one scholar!” The former one said: “The eldest girl in their family can be a man, she is kind to others when she is leisurely, and she often gives things. "The latter one sneered, spat on the ground and said, "It's just that we feel that our mansion is powerful, and we are rushing to curry favor. There is one more thing you don't know—" After speaking, he stopped After a pause, he said, "Naturally, he wins people's hearts. As if he doesn't know, the eldest girl of his family has taken a fancy to our Second Master Bao and is going to marry into the mansion to be the Second Mistress! Doesn't he earn money now? It’s a good name, what’s the idea?”

Baochai heard the words like five thunders, and thought to himself: "I ask myself that I have never offended anyone, and I have never been contemptuous to others. These words come from there!" The two, feeling bored, were afraid that the two of them would come out to see him for a while, so they forced themselves to go into the room. Fortunately, Aunt Xue was not there, and she didn't see anything strange about him; Seeing that he was crying, Que'er was taken aback, saying that he and Daiyu were having trouble; Baochai forced a smile and said, "Don't do anything about Sister Lin. I think of my father, so I am sad." One went out, lying on the bed, and thought to himself: "It can be seen that this person may not be able to win people's hearts. Sister Lin is that kind of sensible person. I am close to him, so he naturally does not doubt me; but the foolish person It’s really annoying and funny to think that I have something in mind. Is there anything worthy of my interest in the servant’s house? I only hate that my father is gone, otherwise how can I suffer this anger in his house!” Because he thought of Baoyu again, he Gritting his teeth, he said ruthlessly, "Don't say I didn't have such an idea. Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to be called a grandma by these slaves. From this point of view, I'd better move out and clean up." So full of grievances and anger, she cried all night in the room .When I got up early the next day, because I was going to Jiamu's province, I had to tidy up randomly, so I came here.

When I arrived in Jiamu's courtyard, I saw Daiyu there first, and I was taken aback by seeing him like this, and asked, "What do you mean? I went back last night and had a good time. Why is it like this this morning?" Dare I offend you?" Baochai pulled him hastily and said, "My dear sister, please keep your voice low. When I see the old lady, I will only say that I am a little angry because of the hot weather." Dai When Yu heard the words, she knew the reason, so she had to agree, and came to Jia Mu's room for a while. Sure enough, Jia Mu asked him, and Baochai replied as before.Daiyu also laughed and covered up a few words for him, but Jia Mu didn't argue.When she came out after eating, Daiyu thought about asking Baochai what was the matter, so she went with him to Lixiangyuan.Xiangyun wanted to follow, but Baoyu was about to talk to him, so he had to let it go.

The two of his sisters walked all the way to the Lixiangyuan, and Baochai called Yinger to pour tea.For a while, Ying'er held the tea bell and sent it to Daiyu, and said, "Miss Lin, please persuade us girls. I cried all night yesterday and asked nothing, as if we were bluffing." Then he pulled the sparrow, and the two of them went outside and closed the door.Seeing this, Daiyu moved to sit beside him, pulled him and laughed, "My sister, who offended you? We've been together for so many years, when did you come here like this?" Baochai saw When he was like this, he couldn't help feeling sad again, and said after a long time: "You are the only one who knows my heart here. Although the second girl and the third girl are good, there is something wrong with them; although we have no blood relationship, I only regard you as my own sister In general, it's the same as Qin'er." When Daiyu heard his words, she knew it was from the bottom of her heart, and said with a smile, "If you have anything to say, just say it. What are you doing by saying these nasty words? If anyone offends my sister, I will Scold him for you. Who doesn't know that I am the most mean-spirited and unforgiving?"

When Baochai heard this, she laughed. After thinking for a while, she said to him all the words of the two girls, but concealed the fact that she wanted to marry Baoyu, and sighed: "This is actually I was mistaken. I only wanted to be good to that, but I didn’t expect other people to think so." Daiyu laughed and said, "They say you have a traitor in your heart, so can you really hide a traitor in your heart? I heard you Day also persuaded Sister Xing not to talk to the person who started him, but today I met him, and I still couldn't let go. It can be seen that it is easy to persuade others, but difficult to persuade oneself." Baochai said: "That's exactly what I said. Although I knew it was the truth , but still sad. Fortunately, you are still on good terms with me, and you are not the one who waits for small belly."

When Daiyu heard the words, she knew that it was Xue Die who won the first prize, so she said with a smile, "it was originally ordered by the sage. Besides, Brother Xue has literary talents. Otherwise, why is it him and not someone else? The villain said his mouth Yes, teach him to take one of the exams. Naturally, they failed the exam, so they felt that big brother hurt their eyes; they couldn't be more angry, because they said these words. The more they are jealous of you, the less you want to be angry, as usual What to do. After a long time, it will be boring." Baochai sighed: "If I persuade others, I will have these words. But when it comes to myself, just feel sad in my heart. Even if there are thousands of good words, I still listen to them. He won't go in." Seeing him like this, Daiyu knew that he was always reserved and refused to say this to Aunt Xue, Xue Die and others, but she had nothing to say to others except herself, so she remembered that she was a servant that day. Said that he was not as good as Baochai's words, and sighed secretly in his heart: "It can be seen that this villain is not good at seeing people, no matter what, he has to say a few words. I can still have my brother to resolve it with me, but he only cares about himself. It's in my heart." So it's hard to persuade him any more, so I just told him about other things; knowing Daiyu's good intentions, Baochai chatted and laughed with him for a while, and gradually healed up, because he remembered something again, so he said: " We are going to move out in a few days, so you can come and find me often." Daiyu smiled and nodded her head when she heard this.The two talked for a while, and Daiyu went back to Jiamu's courtyard.

Now let's talk about the big house.Because Yingchun was newly engaged, Mrs. Xing asked someone to find a good nun to teach him at home. She watched Yingchun go that day, but when Sister Feng came to save her, she smiled and said, "Sit down, girl Feng. Our mother We haven't talked for a long time." Sister Feng thanked her seat with a quick smile, and said with a smile, "it's my daughter-in-law who is not filial. She never came to entertain my wife." Mrs. Xing said, "quickly put this away, you have been too busy talking about it these days. I'm very tired about the second girl. There's nothing wrong with it, but let's gossip." Because she asked Jia Lian about the farm and house, Sister Feng replied one by one.Mrs. Xing heard this, and sighed: "If you are half as temperamental as Ying girl, I won't worry about it. He is the most submissive. I'm afraid that when he marries, he will be tortured by others, and then we will be powerless. ,—then there is someone from her natal family who will stand up for the married daughter?" Sister Feng heard the words, and said, "That's exactly what he said. Where can anyone be kind to his wife and treat his daughter-in-law like his own daughter?"

Mrs. Xing laughed when she heard his flattery, and said, "Monkey, don't give me a few compliments. Now I have something to discuss with you. Doesn't this mean that Xiuyan is too big? His old lady doesn't like it." It's useful, and it must fall on me. Now I have chosen one, and I don't know if it will succeed or not." After hearing this, Sister Feng made a promise in her heart and guessed it, and said with a smile, "it's natural that the lady likes it. Mrs. Xing said: "It's hard to say whether it will be successful or not. Their family background is a bit thin, and my mother is the one who waits for them. It's a pity every time I think of it." Sister Feng saw it coldly, and also Knowing that Xiuyan is a good person, he said: "Madam Zhenzhen is kind-hearted. It's not me, uncle is also a bit unreasonable. The wife is all about him, but he only cares about complaining that the wife doesn't take care of him."

Because Mrs. Xing also talked to Sister Feng on weekdays, she was not annoyed when she heard this, but said, "Do you know which one I will take?" The one from before?" Xing Xing said, comparing his two fingers.Mrs. Xing knew that he had guessed right, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are a local ghost. It's just that we are girls, and we rush to talk about it, but it doesn't look like it." Sister Feng thought for a while, and offered a plan: "This is the time when the second master is needed. It would be best to teach him to inquire about Brother Xue another day. If it doesn't work, it won't hurt." Mrs. Xing just wanted to teach Jia Lian to ask, and she heard him These words hit his heart, Nai smiled and said: "I will leave this matter to you."

It turned out that Mrs. Xing had thought about it a few times, knowing that Xiuyan's family was poor and unworthy of a noble family, she picked Xue Biao after picking and choosing; seeing that although he was not as intelligent as Xue Die and Yuyu, he was also very clever. He can't make mistakes in everything he does, and his family background matches Xiuyan.I'm afraid it's wrong to ask Aunt Xue by myself, but now Sister Feng volunteered to answer for Jia Lian, but she said her own heart.So I discussed with Sister Feng for a while before sending him away.See you later.
