Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

The matter of Baochai's selection is gone, but fortunately her small favors have some effect, and everyone is looking at Mrs. Wang's face, so there are not many rumors, so Baochai still lives in Jia's house generously.

Not to mention that Baochai and Tanchun had their own thoughts, since Daiyu dismissed Xue's mother and daughter, she finally regained her composure.Unexpectedly, within two days, Jia's mother sent someone to pick her up, saying that she hadn't seen her for three months since October last year, and she missed her very much.Xueyan said that it would be Daiyu's birthday in two days, so she persuaded Daiyu to go after her birthday, but Daiyu said to go early to save worry, so she went anyway.

After entering the Jia Mansion again, Daiyu suddenly felt a world away, as everything seemed different.Jia's mother still had a loving face, and when she saw her, she screamed heartily, so she sent Zijuan to serve her.Xichun is still indifferent to others, only showing joy when facing herself.But Mrs. Wang's as usual lukewarm and annoyed eyes also had a kind of complacent look, which people couldn't understand.Baochai showed no resentment at all, but her expression was more restrained.The biggest change was Tanchun. She obviously found that this younger sister, who was only a month younger than herself, had grown up a lot, and her expression was more stubborn and arrogant than before, especially when facing servants. The madam was a little more humble and pleasing than before, which made Daiyu feel sad in her heart, such a smart and energetic girl should not be so arrogant, nor should she be so humble and humble.Daiyu didn't know what happened in these few months, but it must have hurt Tanchun deeply.

Baoyu was very happy to see Daiyu coming, but after seeing him for a few months, it felt as if it had been a few years. Seeing that Daiyu had grown taller than before, she showed more and more elegant and ethereal temperament, and he loved and respected him in his heart. .He ran to Daiyu's room all day long, although Daiyu seldom gave him good looks, but he couldn't care less.Daiyu keenly realized that whenever Baoyu came to her room, Baochai would follow her in, and she seemed to be following her, so she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Today is the eleventh day of the second lunar month, and tomorrow is the Huachao Festival, Daiyu's birthday.After dinner, Daiyu saw that Zijuan was quite tired during the day, so she forced her to rest and do needlework by herself under the lamp.Xueyan sat beside her angrily, and Daiyu was puzzled, so she asked, "Sister Xueyan, who made you angry." Chunxian said with a smile: "Who can make her angry, she is angry on her own. " Daiyu laughed and said, "Sister Xueyan is also surprised." Forget it, we always bring the girl with us. What are we trying to do, we have to stay here. The old lady said that she loves the girl, why she even forgot the girl's birthday tomorrow. What's amazing, I still had a bit of face at first, but now I see the girl's nostrils wishing to point to the sky, I really don't know what to be proud of."

Hongyan twirled the thread and compared with each other under the lamp and said with a smile: "I still don't understand, there is a 'mother' in their family now, so naturally they have to put on some airs of an uncle."

Chun Xian chuckled: "One is always there, and only the seventh-rank one enters the stream. If there are a lot of them in the palace, how can they be qualified to be called empresses?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, but my grandmother is still my relative in name, and it's okay if she doesn't give face. I just want to care about the little affection with my grandmother. After all, we are just a few." The moon is not here, so I don't want to be too distant. I don't even think about celebrating my birthday, and I forget it if you don't tell me."

Chunxian said with a smile: "Girl, if you forget, someone will remember it, and we don't care if the Jia family gave it."

Xueyan frowned and complained: "The girl is here, no one else can do anything if they think about it. I said to come later, but the girl didn't refuse them."

Chunxian blinked her eyes: "Then you don't know our master's temperament, he doesn't care about these things. In the past, the Jia family didn't know that the girl met our family, so he couldn't come to pick him up. Now that everyone knows, he Don't worry about it, tomorrow will definitely come under the guise of a concubine."

Hong Yan hurriedly nodded in agreement.After hearing this, Daiyu said hurriedly: "Why do you talk and run to him? Seeing that the sisters are so busy."

Xueyan started laughing, tilted her head and pretended to be suspicious, and said, "The girl is talking about him, who is he, and who is he?" Saying this, she got up and ran to the outer room.

Daiyu blushed, stood up and chased after her and said, "Sister Xueyan is getting worse and worse, see if I will spare you today." Xueyan giggled and looked back at Daiyu as she lifted the curtain.Chunxian hurriedly said: "Xueyan, be careful to trip over the threshold, and see if you don't have a tooth!" Before she finished speaking, she heard "Aiya", and then "Ouch".Chunxian couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "You can slap your mouth if you really say it, sister Xueyan, you don't have to cooperate with me like this."

But he heard a soft voice outside anxiously saying: "Second Master, what's the matter? Xueyan, why are you running away if you have nothing to do?" Chun Xian frowned, but it was an aggressive voice.Then I heard Xueyan sneer and said: "What did Miss Xiren say? I am hindering you by running in my own place. We didn't ask you to come, but you bumped into it yourself. Second Master Bao is a man after all. I'm not doing anything, but he can't help it? If you are so delicate, don't take a step. It's not good to be tripped by a stone when you go out. The little girls and women here are the same, why can't they even report? It's up to others Run to the girl's room, and tomorrow I'll ask them how they serve people." Then he opened the curtain of the back room and came in by himself.

Baoyu was not annoyed, she lifted the curtain and came in with a smile, "Sister Lin, what are you doing?"

Daiyu sighed, stood still and said, "Second brother, what's the matter for coming so late?"

Baoyu smiled and sat down on the chair next to Daiyu and said, "I just want to visit Sister Lin. During the day, I heard my sister cough twice, but she is not feeling well?"

Daiyu smelled a faint smell of alcohol coming from Baoyu's body. She was not happy, so she got up and sat on the chair under the window. Hearing Baoyu's words, her heart moved a little, and she was also a little moved. She just coughed a few times during the day , was actually remembered by him until now, and he unconsciously let go of his disgust towards him, and said with a light smile: "I am not sick at all, but during the day, there is some wind and my throat is itchy, Brother Lao is thinking about running Come and ask."

It was rare for Baoyu to see Daiyu with such a pleasant face, her heart was filled with joy, her eyes were full of smiles, her eyebrows became more and more charming, and she said with a smile: "Amitabha, this is good. What is my sister doing so late?" As he spoke, his eyes wandered into Daiyu's room. Glancing, I caught a glimpse of an exquisite thing in the small basket next to Daiyu's bed. I hurried over to pick it up and looked at it. The thread draws a fine border flower, and there is a goose yellow wreath hanging below, the stitches are fine and lifelike, and she was pleasantly surprised: "It's such an exquisite purse, sister Lin, please give it to me."

Daiyu's face darkened when she saw him rummaging around, and said calmly: "Second elder brother also randomly rummaged through my things. There are a lot of girls and women in your room who are short of your things, so they still don't put them down. "

Baoyu said softly: "They can't compare to my sister's ingenuity, even Qingwen's can't compare to yours. Dear sister, just give it to me, so as not to mention it every time I go out, others will always say mine Although the jewelry needlework is good, it's very tacky." He said and put it in his arms with a smile.

Daiyu was furious, she walked over and snatched it away, picked up the small scissors in the basket, smashed the purse a few times, put the things on the table coldly and said, "I became a needleworker in the second master's house." Girl, I still want to take my things out for comparison, but I don’t know if the second master understands the rules. I don’t dare to keep the second master here, please stop visiting my house in the future, your Jia’s house in the middle of the night I don’t care about the reputation, my Lin family still wants more, Xueyan sees off guests.”

Xueyan has long been displeased, and just now she didn't pay attention to let Baoyu take the purse, but the purse was given to Shui Rong by the girl, it took a lot of energy, so she was angry and ashamed, and when she heard the girl's words, she responded loudly and sneered Said: "Second Master, please."

Baoyu saw that Daiyu's eyebrows were furrowed, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, and a layer of frost covered her white jade-like face, reflecting the candlelight and lingering the luster of pearls and jade, adding an awe-inspiring power, like a cold fairy, with love in her heart Fearing again, he was at a loss for a while and said: "Sister Lin, don't be upset, it's okay if I made a mistake."

Daiyu looked away coldly.Xueyan said: "Second Master, what are you doing? Didn't you hear what our girl said? What are you still doing here?"

Xiren couldn't help showing complacency when he heard Baoyu's first words, but when the turmoil suddenly broke out, Daiyu cut off her purse and kicked him out, and couldn't help getting annoyed, but she was a slave after all, so it was hard to say anything else. He smiled and said: "Miss Lin also knows that the second master said that he might have hair, but there is no other meaning. Why bother, girl, I am here to make amends for our second master, so don't be annoyed, girl. If you get angry, you will be fine." It's worth it."

Daiyu said indifferently: "It turns out that Second Master Bao's words that he shouldn't have said were all unintentional. Miss Xiren didn't hear clearly, but he clearly said that he would take my things to show off outside. Is this also unintentional? Or our master is talking, what are you talking about like a girl, but who are you from Baoyu, and you are here to accompany him?"

Xiren's breath was stagnant, only to realize that he had said the wrong thing, Zi swelled his face and lowered his head.Baoyu saw Xiren's aggrieved appearance become more charming and tactful, and his heart grew pity, but seeing Daiyu's cold expression, he wanted to plead but dared not say so, his face turned yellow with anxiety, his veins burst out, and he rubbed his hands, not knowing what to do good.

At this time, a little girl outside said: "Miss Bao is here."
