A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

On the second day, Baochai sent someone to bring several baskets of high-quality crabs, which were picked up by the women and sent to the kitchen.Li Wan knew that Mother Jia also wanted Grandma Liu to see her family's wealth. This so-called wealth does not return home, like a night walk in brocade clothes. Naturally, she got up early to watch the old women and maids sweep the fallen leaves, wipe the tables and chairs, and prepare tea and wine utensils .

Because Grandma Liu came with her maid, Li Wan said, "Look at it too, Grandma." Grandma Liu went up to see that it was indeed colorful and wonderful, but this rare treasure was a huge pile of black clouds. Grandma saw only Buddha.Li Wan feared that Jiamu would go on a cruise when she was in the mood, so she got ready for everything.

Just making arrangements, I saw that Jia Mu had brought a group of people in. Li Wan went up to meet her, and saw that she had prepared flowers for Jia Mu's hairpin when she combed her hair. She wore a hairpin, and Grandma Liu not only didn't think she was ugly, but she was proud of it, laughing that she was an old coquette.

After a short rest, Jia's mother will naturally show Grandma Liu to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, just to show Grandma Liu to see this wealth.Just because the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was called Fenglaiyi by Baoyu that day, we can know that there are many and precious things in it, so Jia Mu took Grandma Liu to visit Xiaoxiang Pavilion first.Seeing that the screen on the window was old, Jia Mu thought it was not enough, so she also called Sister Feng to take the soft cigarettes from the window and give it to Hu screen window, and also gave Grandma Liu two horses.

Then I went to Tanchun's house, which was also very luxurious. Mother Jia was very satisfied, and just heard the sound of music, and ordered the little opera singers to play music on the water pavilion of the Ouxiangxie. It was really quiet.Because she passed by Baochai's room on the boat, and after entering, Jia Mu was secretly angry in her heart.The room was empty, like a snow cave, with no playthings of any color. On the case, there was only one earthen vase with several chrysanthemums in it and two books. Even the quilt was plain. Did my family treat her slowly? Let Liu's family see such a scene, it really slapped me in the face.

Mother Jia is a good-faced person. She turned into anger at Baochai's joy of inviting her and others to eat crabs. After hearing Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue say that Baochai loves Sujing, she didn't say much, but said: "Although he saves trouble , if a relative comes here, it doesn't look like it, and the two young girls, the room is so clean, and it is taboo. Our old lady should live in a stable." Although there is no word of scolding, the meaning is not the same. But it is said that the decorations in Baochai's house are only owned by widows.He also ordered Sister Feng to take the things in her room and send them over. Baochai was just a girl from a relative's family.

Baochai, who was following beside her, was not wronged. When she first moved into the garden, she was dressed very delicately. Unexpectedly, when my aunt came here, she would say which one was better, and she had to send it over.These are good antiques that are hard to buy.I had no choice but to say that I just liked being clean. At the beginning, it was just a house my mother cleaned up for me. I just didn’t like that kind of luxury. After the things were taken away by my aunt, I didn’t add a little more, that’s all.Unexpectedly, when the old lady came here once, she said that she had committed a taboo.I have to explain, there is Grandma Liu next to me, besides, it was my own aunt who took away the things, and the family ugliness should not be exposed, so I had to endure the grievance by myself.

After sitting for a while, several people still came to the Ouxiangxie for lunch. Sister Feng and Yuanyang knew that they wanted to play tricks on Grandma Liu to make the old lady laugh, and Grandma Liu knew it herself.So Sister Feng first gave Grandma Liu a pair of the heaviest chopsticks, and then poured wine, and didn't eat the food that everyone was teasing, just looked at her and smiled.Grandma Liu stood up first and said: "Old Liu, Lao Liu, eats like a cow, and eats an old sow without raising his head." "After drinking, he even danced to the music.

After the meal, everyone went to Miaoyu's Cuicui Nunnery and drank tea. Miaoyu was persuaded by Baoyu to give the teacup to Grandma Liu because she thought it was dirty.

On the second day, everyone was together. Because Jia Mu ordered Xichun to make a picture of the Grand View Garden, Daiyu coerced and called it "Carrying Locusts and Chewing Picture", which made everyone laugh. Yu frowned behind him.

Because Jia's mother asked Xichun to draw a panorama of the Grand View Garden, and Xichun is not good at poetry, she just happened to ask for leave from the poetry club.

Li Wan said with a smile: "This poetry club has not started a few times, and some people have slipped away. The fourth girl is going to take a year's leave."

Everyone satirized Grandma Liu again.Li Wan smiled and said not to digress, just ask how long the holiday should be for Xichun.

Xichun was also annoyed, but it was because she usually likes to draw a few strokes, and she didn't even have all the painting tools.But yesterday the old lady specially called over, not only to paint the garden, but also to paint the characters.I have only painted freehand paintings, but where have I painted detailed buildings and figures, I am in a dilemma.

Baochai talked about the suggestion there, and first asked Baoyu to go outside to ask for the drawing of the garden, and fill it up according to it.The painting tools are pad brushes, dyes of different sizes, crab claws, men's eyebrows, coloring, open faces, wicker, all of which are innumerable.Everyone only sighed that she didn't know that she had no books, but Baochai didn't know that after she left, Xichun's teeth itched with hatred.She was a painter herself, so why didn't she know that Baochai was just talking on paper, if the painting was really drawn according to the blueprint, the whole world would be full of painters, and she was actually directing blindly.And I was trying to use the excuse that the painting equipment was not complete to delay for a few days, and when the old lady forgot, I would have nothing to do with myself.Now that Baochai is doing things with such fanfare, she is trying to please the old lady, so she can bear it.This Xichun also has a lonely temper, and she will be even more unwilling to get along with Baochai in the future.

Several people had breakfast together, and greeted Jiamu at Jiamu's place. After returning to the garden, they each had to go their separate ways. Baochai called Daiyu, "Come here, Yuer, I have a question for you." Seeing that Daiyu was tired in the past two days, composing poems and feasting, she wished Daiyu could have a good rest, so she said: "If Miss Bao has something to do, go to our girl. The Hengwu Garden is cold and lonely. Our girl The past two days have been enough, and you should take a good rest."

So Baochai followed Daiyu back to Zilingzhou, entered the room, Baochai sat down and said with a smile, "kneel down, I want to interrogate you." Blame, I feel very uncomfortable.Unexpectedly, at the banquet, Daiyu heard Daiyu say "what a beautiful day", "there is no matchmaker in the screen window", and felt that he had caught Daiyu's handle.Knowing that Daiyu treats Qingxuan like an elder sister, Qingxuan treats Daiyu like a younger sister.Daiyu had such an important incident, and even Qingxuan was ashamed.So I didn't ask Qingxuan to go out.But Qingxuan withdrew by herself. She knew that this was something Baochai wanted to teach Daiyu the West Chamber, but Mother Chen had already taught it, so why worry about it.

Daiyu didn't know why Baochai asked herself to kneel down, smiled and said to Qingxuan: "You see, sister Bao is crazy, why do you want to interrogate me?"

Baochai thought she was absolutely sure of it, and said with a sneer, "What a daughter, I don't know where the wine order said yesterday."

Only then did Daiyu remember that she had said a few words about the Peony Pavilion and The Story of the West Chamber yesterday. Fortunately, Daiyu had been taught by Nanny Chen at that time, and now she said calmly: "Those opera singers in Lixiangyuan When the girls were practicing, I just heard it. The other sisters didn’t notice it, but Sister Bao knew it as soon as she heard it.”

Baochai was secretly startled, took Daiyu to sit down to drink tea, and said slowly: "I'm just saying something in vain. When I was young, when my father was around, I was also naughty. There are all kinds of books in my grandfather's study. Yes, I watched it no matter what it was, but it was only later that the adults found out and stopped it." As he spoke, he thought of his carefree appearance when his father was there, and there was a third of the truth in the very fake.

Daiyu saw that Baochai's words were sincere, and she did not hold grudges. She also knew that Baochai was always going to Yihong Courtyard, and she also knew that Mrs. Wang preferred Baochai to be Baoyu's daughter-in-law. Since she had no relationship with Baoyu However, Sister Bao is also a rare one. If she is with Baoyu, as a younger sister, I would also bless them, so I also want to persuade Baochai.

He said: "Sister, for us girls, reading more books is not a bad thing. What's wrong with books? It's just that those who have made mistakes use books to excuse them. I read those serious books. We read more books. Just follow the study; those books such as the West Chamber are just to read its elegant words and sentences, and the lingering fragrance is full of mouth. The great poet, which of our sisters has never read his poem "Once the sea was too difficult to be water, except Wushan is not a cloud". To be honest, I have read this book, but I have never done Yingying in it. What I have done, you can see how I get along with Baoyu now. In the past, it was okay for us to be as close as brothers and sisters. Now that we are all grown up, we can still get so close when we marry each other in the future."

But Baochai didn't expect Daiyu to say such a truth, and hearing her meaning that he and Baoyu would not be together in the future, she couldn't help but nodded with great joy.Daiyu quietly approached Baochai's ear again, and said, "Sister, do you know that Xiren has already received two taels of silver for a month?"

Baochai felt sour, but her mother had already told her about it, and she was also in front of her aunt at that time, and she agreed with her own words.He said: "What's the matter? Auntie took a fancy to her and rewarded her. This is the wife's grace. It's a good thing. I knew it a long time ago."

This made Daiyu's face turn red. She only thought that Baochai and Aunt Xue had acquiesced in the success of Xiren and Baoyu. It's not good for your body either."

When Baochai heard that Daiyu's words were wrong, what did it mean that it was bad for her health? Although Xiren received money, it would take two or three years before the superiors really listened to their aunt's words. Daiyu's words actually meant that she did it. It's about guarding and stealing.Angrily, his hands trembled, but his mouth changed the topic.Daiyu knew that Baochai had listened to her heart, so she didn't say any more.
