Snow Goose in the Red Chamber

"

Baoyu felt aggrieved: "I also think I did nothing wrong, and I didn't let him in, so I just looked outside."

Xueyan was helpless: "That's really wrong to blame the second master. I have wronged the second master. Should the second master drop a few golden beans so that the servants can go back and tell the girl about the bleak situation of the second master."

Baoyu couldn't help being happy: "Returning Jin Doudou, are you coaxing the child? I understand what you mean, and I won't mention this to my sister anymore. You go back and serve your sister well. If there is anything missing, just take care of me." Come and ask, whoever said nonsense and did nonsense also come and tell me."

"Well, then the second master will tell the ancestors, tell the wife, and let them deal with it." Xue Yan teased.

Baoyu said: "There's no need to bother your ancestors and wives with such a trivial matter. I can take care of it!"

Xueyan laughed and said: "You can't use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken. You don't need to bother the second master with such a trivial matter. Our girls can solve it by themselves."

After thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, and said: "Besides, there are some things that slaves can't decide on their own, no, if the girl wants to trouble the second master with something, she will open her mouth. I am afraid that the second master has already done it before the girl speaks." .”

Baoyu was relieved to hear that, and let Xueyan go away with some good tea and spices.

Xueyan said: "Our girls have all these. If the second master has the heart, he can buy some from outside. But since he wants to show the second master's wishes, he must go out in person, so as to prevent the second master from being deceived by the people below. "

Baoyu said: "These are all things in the palace. How can they compare with those outside."

Xueyan sighed: "Second Master, have you heard that etiquette is light and affection is heavy?"

Then Baoyu came to a sudden: "Then I will give it to my sister..."

"Forget about the rouge paste made by the second master." Xueyan hurriedly waved her hands, "The master is still at home, and he hasn't been out for a few days. What should I do if I bump into it someday?"

Baoyu laughed again, Xueyan put away her things, and suddenly asked about a strange smell, picked up the box Baoyu gave her to hold things and smelled it: "What did you put in this box before, why does it smell strange?"

Baoyu said: "It was used to put pills before Xiren, didn't she have a cough, so she asked her family to make pills and bring them in."

Xueyan said: "Don't you have the best loquat paste here? It's much better than any pills."

"She doesn't like to drink it, but I think this ball tastes even weirder, and it's hard for her to eat it."

A few days later, when Qingwen came to play with Xueyan, she mentioned the box: "Did Baoyu take Xiren's box for you to store things in?"

Xueyan said: "Why, Xiren wants to go back?"

Qingwen said: "Of course not, it's just that she had a bad face at the time, saying that Baoyu used her things as human favors."

Xueyan was surprised: "It's just a box, is this also a favor?"

"Don't you like to collect boxes the most? I think that box is quite exquisite." Qingwen said, "We all thought you fell in love with it, and Baoyu gave it to you."

Xueyan didn't know whether to laugh or be angry: "Baoyu took it casually, so what's the matter with me?"

Qingwen was also a little surprised: "It's just a box, what is Xiren so concerned about?"

Xueyan said: "You also care about it. Why don't you take it back later."

Qingwen said: "I don't, if she wants to please herself."

After Qingwen left, Xueyan took out the box and fiddled with it for a long time.That strange smell is still there, probably because Xueyan kept her in the cabinet.

Xueyan asked someone to find out that Jia Lian was at home today, so she went to the second gate, found a little girl and called Su Ping.

Su Ping was still the same, but darker, and was very surprised to see Xueyan: "Did you have something to do, or did the girl call me?"

Xueyan said: "Of course I have something to do, otherwise I should be sitting in the room watching the stove and waiting for you to come to meet with the wind."

Su Ping smiled: "Come here, aren't you afraid that the girl will be angry?"

"If I come to beat you up, girl, don't be angry, I'm afraid you'll pay me." Xueyan handed the package over, "Go to the pharmacy and find someone to ask what it smells like."

Su Ping didn't ask why, but squeezed the package and frowned.

"I can't keep you running errands for nothing, I don't like taking advantage of others." Xue Yan said.

Su Ping's face darkened: "You never gave me money before."

Xueyan glared at him: "Who said it was money! Your elder sister Xueyan made sesame candies with her own hands!"

Su Ping was stunned for a moment, and touched again through the burden: "Why are the sesame candies strung together? Are they still made so flat?"

Xueyan shrugged: "At first I wanted to make a thousand-layer sesame candy, but who knew it was cracked. I just made a snack. What do I do to make it so big? Do you gain weight? You go back and soak it in hot water and drink it with your teeth. You can't bite."

Su Ping smiled sincerely this time, nodded at Xueyan, and left.

Chapter 19

Baoyu moved in happily the next day, left Xiren to clean up in Yihong courtyard, and went to each courtyard by herself.

Zicuckoo looked outside the door for a while, and seemed to be talking to herself: "Why didn't Second Master Bao come to us first?"

Daiyu said, "Why don't you go and pull him in."

Zijuan closed the courtyard door casually, looked at Xueyan and said with a smile: "What did you say to Second Master yesterday?"

Xueyan said: "I told the second master that if the second master dares to enter the door of our Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I will break his legs. It seems that he is really scared."

Zijuan giggled happily: "I said it again, I don't believe you have the guts."

Xueyan gnawed on the sesame candies, and the crackling sound made Daiyu also have an appetite: "I know that I can eat it myself, so bring it to me to taste."

"Didn't the girl always like to eat soft food, I'm afraid the girl will feel her teeth hurt after eating it." Xue Yan said while passing the box over.

Zicuckoo glanced at it: "Didn't you do so much, why are there leftovers, but you ate so much in one night?"

"Oh, I also gave some to Sister Qingwen and Su Ping." Xueyan said.

Daiyu and Zijuan paused at the same time when they stretched out their hands to take the sugar. Daiyu took a piece and put it in her mouth and looked at the snow geese with a half-smile, and Zijuan said meaningfully.

Baoyu's voice sounded outside the courtyard door: "Why is the door closed in broad daylight?"

Xueyan jumped out of bed and went out: "Eat good food behind someone's back, so naturally we have to close the door, so as to save those greedy people from leaving."

Baoyu laughed out loud when he saw the shape of the candy, and put a Ru porcelain bottle in his hand on the table.

Daiyu turned around and said to Zicuckoo: "It's too sweet, why don't you pour a cup of tea to moisten your mouth."

Baoyu said: "Sister, drink the rose dew I brought. The old ancestor just gave it to me. There is only one bottle in total."

Daiyu ignored him, and as a result, the tea served by Zijuan blew.

Xueyan said: "Second Master, you came here after visiting the garden all over?"

Baoyu said: "I've been everywhere, now I can stay with my sister all the time, just in time to go to my ancestors for dinner at night."

Xueyan turned her head to look at the bright sun: "What the second master said, is it possible that you want to waste lunch with us?"

Daiyu blushed slightly: "I don't have any extra food to give to beggars."

Baoyu said: "My sister is eating, and I can watch it."

Xueyan laughed and said, "When did the second master switch to eating with his eyes?"

Daiyu said: "I'm afraid it's after looking at your sesame candy. Don't you have to eat this kind of food that you don't like?"

Xueyan coquettishly said: "Oh, the girl is so bad!"

The three people in the room all trembled at the same time, and Xueyan said seriously: "If the second master wants to eat here, then the servants will go to the Yihong courtyard and talk to sister Xiren, so as not to have to prepare there."

Baoyu said: "No, I told her when I came out. My place is in a mess now, and I can't eat well when I go back."

Daiyu laughed and said, "If you can't eat well, then there won't be enough food in the house. All right, Zijuan, go to the small kitchen and ask them to make some cakes to pad their stomachs."

Baoyu was overjoyed: "It's my sister who loves me so much, she drank two sips of hot tea after walking all morning."

Daiyu said: "Who said it was done for you."

Xueyan hurriedly said: "Let the second master eat some, the girl really hopes that someone will watch me while I eat?"

Daiyu looked at her and said, "Why do you always speak for Baoyu today, but what benefits do you receive from him?"

Xueyan said: "All the good things from the second master have come to the girl. If the servant wants to ask the girl for it naturally, is there any need to curry favor with the second master?"

Zijuan came back from the small kitchen, and when she heard Xueyan's words, she pinched her face: "Okay, this is not flattering the second master. Girl's tea is cold, and I don't see you making new ones."

Xueyan took the teapot and went to the tea room, picked up the porcelain bottle and got up, and said to Daiyu: "Miss, if you want to drink it, give it to your servant."

Daiyu said: "What a rarity, it's worth asking for, and I'll reward you with the bottle. Go!"

Xueyan went out with a smile, Baoyu looked at Daiyu attentively, Daiyu snorted, turned around and looked at the calligraphy and painting on the wall.

Xueyan almost forgot about the box until she saw Su Ping's serious face.

"Where did you get this box?" Su Ping asked straight to the point.

Xueyan couldn't help taking a step back: "What's wrong, Xiren?"

Su Ping was a little surprised and a little enlightened: "Could it be... no wonder, she refused to be redeemed when she died."

Xueyan suddenly thought of something, and said, "This can't be a contraceptive pill, can it?"

Su Ping couldn't help but took a step back, and looked Xue Yan up and down: "You know this too?"

Xueyan digested the news. Since Xiren took the medicine, it meant that she and Baoyu were not alone.And such a Baoyu moved into the Grand View Garden. There are not only Baoyu's relatives and sisters in the Grand View Garden, but there are also two unmarried girls who are separated by a floor.
