Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

112

During the ten or so days of this year's Spring Festival, Baoyu lived happily, sweeping away the decadent silence of the past half year.After Sister Lin left, Sister Yun stopped coming because of an accident, and then all the big maids in the room were dismissed, and the wife... There are only mandarin ducks and colorful clouds in Yihong Courtyard, and the other maids are hiding far away from themselves. Far.I had to study with the gentleman who was specially hired for him every day, and I had to be in front of the master to endorse every day. If it weren't for the old ancestor who always looked at him earnestly, and every time his wife saw him, he would cry and ask him to fight for him. Baoyu thought that he was afraid that he would insist Can't go down.

After the young year, Baoyu remembered clearly what Mr. Zheng said to the master in front of him, "Mr. Zheng, you are smart, and you will be able to get a childbirth this year. You might as well let him relax for a few days this Spring Festival. Work hard after the year, too." Zhang Chi has a way." Jia Zheng was delighted to hear this, and happily let Baoyu go back.

Baoyu spends every day in the Grand View Garden doing lantern riddles, poems, and lyrics with Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Baoqin, Xiangling, and sisters-in-law Li Wen and Li Qi, and feels happier than before.

It was only this day that he woke up and saw the sky was cloudy, thinking that tomorrow would be the Chinese New Year, so Xue Pan sent a message, saying that he had made an appointment with Feng Ziying and others to have wine together.Although Baoyu was bored, he went to Jiamu's yard to say goodbye, saying that he was going out to talk with some friends.Jiamu hadn't gotten up yet, Baoyu looked at the qin behind Jiamu, facing Zhengxiang who was sleeping inside, her crow's hair was scattered on the snow-blue soft pillow, only a little white and tender earlobes were exposed.Baoyu was about to go up to take a closer look, but Jia Mu called the mandarin duck who accompanied him, "Give Baoyu the peacock-hair cloak that I got yesterday. The Duoroni arrow sleeves on my body are afraid of falling in the snow." It's going to be cold. Tell those who follow outside to send more people, because there are too many people under the big festival, don't call it a collision."

Baoyu put on a peacock-feather cloak and went to Mrs. Wang's yard to bid farewell.Mrs. Wang urged and urged carefully, and called Zhou Rui in to give some instructions, asking him to take care of Baoyu, and then let Baoyu take people out.

According to what Xue Pan said, Baoyu took six of his milk brothers Li Gui, Wang Rong, Zhang Ruojin, Zhao Yihua, Qian Sheng and Zhou Rui, as well as Baoming, Companion Crane, Hoe Medicine and Saohong. Baoyu's servant who used clothes, bags and other items when going out.He rode straight to Feng Ziying's other courtyard.

When they arrived at the gate of the other courtyard, someone reported to go in, and Feng Ziying and Xue Pan came out to greet them.Seeing that Baoyu had brought so many people with him, Xue Pan patted Baoyu and said, "Finally your old lady let you out."

Baoyu hasn't seen these people for almost a year, but now he feels friendly when he sees them, and he doesn't care if Xue Pan pats him on the shoulder, but just bows to one of them, "Cousin, you didn't say to save me." Xue Pan scratched his head. He didn't want to be sent to Jia Amnesty to be taught a lesson.Feng Ziying laughed, and put her arms around Baoyu's shoulders, "It's good that Baoyu can come. Come, come, come, listen to the music today, loose and loose."

Baoyu let Feng Ziying lead her into the room, and saw that there were many young men singing ditties in the room, Jiang Yuhan who sang Xiaodan, Yun'er, a prostitute brought by Xue Pan, and several female prostitutes.You have seen that Xue Pan pushed Baoyu to sit in the chair, and Baoyu let him in, "With brother Feng and cousin here, there is no reason for Baoyu to sit in the chair." He insisted on letting Feng Ziying and Xue Pan take the chair , I was sitting next to him, and then I slowly drank tea and chatted, listening to the singing boys and female prostitutes performing their skills.

Near noon, Feng Ziying ordered the servants at home to hold a banquet. Several people talked and laughed, and played with drinking orders.Baoyu saw Jiang Yuhan next to him was gentle and charming, with a different kind of flair in his speech, and felt very fond of him, and often glanced at him.After hearing the sentence Jiang Yuhan finished the order, "The scent of flowers is so strong that one knows the warmth of the day", I just felt a cold arrow shot into my heart, ignored Xue Pan's booing, and went to the porch to look at the dancing snowflakes, and shed tears.

When Jiang Yuhan saw that Baoyu was unhappy and went out, he knew that some of his words had violated a taboo, so he toasted Xue Pan, and Xue Pan said, "That Xiren is his favorite, and he was kicked out years ago." Yun'er hurriedly told Jiang Yuhan about the previous incident.Despite Jia's mother's seal order, how can Baochai not tell her mother and elder brother what she knows, so as not to touch the taboo of Jia's house.Then Xue Pan was happy with Yun'er, and wished that everything he knew in the world would be presented to Yun'er to show off.What the prostitute Yun'er said, everyone in the room knew about it. Poor historians tried so hard to suppress the matter, and poor Mrs. Wang suffered a lot, but they still couldn't cover up Baoyu's matter.The only thing that Baochai didn't know was that Xiangyun met, which was a secret, and gave Xiangyun a setback.

Jiang Yuhan confessed to everyone and went out to find Baoyu to make amends.Seeing Baoyu standing on the porch looking at the snow, feeling unspeakably lonely and sad, he bent forward and bowed, "Second Master Bao, it was someone who was rude just now."

When Baoyu saw Jiang Yuhan's face smelled of alcohol, he took advantage of it more and more on his jade-like face, as if a beautiful woman had been smeared with stunning rouge.Seeing the beauty repeatedly apologizing, Baoyu said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, so don't take it to heart."

When Jiang Yuhan saw that Baoyu was so easy to talk, he let go of the burden in his heart, and only picked up what Baoyu liked to hear. After a while, Baoyu's brows and eyes cleared up, and he tightly held Jiang Yuhan's ten fingers, and said with a long sigh, "I was restrained by the master to read, Don’t come out often, I have a question to ask you, I’m also in your class, there’s a man named Qi Guan’er, do you recognize him?”

Jiang Yuhan smiled, "That's my nickname."

Baoyu was very happy when he heard this, "I just thought, this person sings so well, in the same troupe, why do you only hear that there is Qiguaner. It's a good fortune to have a first meeting today." Then he took off the jade pendant hanging from his waist, Handed it to Jiang Yuhan, said: "The small things are unbearable, I would like to show my respect."

Then Jiang Yuhan also took off the jade pendant around his waist, and handed it to Baoyu, "I also invite the second master Bao, don't dislike the rough, this is also the reward from last year."

Baoyu saw that the jade pendant was exquisitely carved, and it was an auspicious pattern for the immediate conferment of the Marquis. The jade was delicate and moist, and it should not be ordinary precious, so he couldn't help but want to refuse.Looking up at Jiang Yuhan's expression, she didn't dare to say no, so she tied it around her waist silently.Seeing that Baoyu had been out for a long time, Jiang Yuhan persuaded him, "It's cold outside, so Second Lord Bao should go inside to keep warm."

Baoyu raised his feet and waited in, and immediately said to Jiang Yuhan, "I'm going to change clothes, it's convenient and convenient." Jiang Yuhan said, "We are on the same road."

Xue Pan didn't see the two of them back for a long time, so he searched under the eaves of the corridor, where there were no signs of the two of them, he went back to the banquet sullenly.Seeing that Xue Pan was not happy, Yun'er tried to flatter Xue Pan so that he became happy, and the three of them listened to the young servants singing, the maidens dancing their sleeves, and drinking and playing.

After a long time, Baoyu and Jiang Yuhan came back hand in hand, and they all ordered to drink again, and they didn't leave until evening.

When Baoyu had wine, no one dared to let him run wildly on horseback. Feng Ziying's other courtyard was a little far away from Jia's mansion.

Baoyu went straight back to Yihong Courtyard. When Caiyun saw Baoyu came back, he took the peacock cloak and said, "How are you doing today?"

Baoyu nodded, "Get some hangover soup."

Caiyun ordered to go down and sort out the things Baoyu had brought out. When she saw that the jade pendant was unfamiliar, she asked Baoyu. Baoyu said in a general way: "I met a lovely person at the banquet today, and I exchanged the jade pendant with him. Please take it for me. . This has a good meaning, and I will always carry it with me.”

Caiyun nodded, this jade is good and the carving is exquisite, and it is also a pleasing accessory to be enshrined immediately.Carefully put away Baoyu, but saw a fingertip-sized hole behind Xinxin's cloak.Pointing it out to Baoyu, Baoyu stomped his feet and sighed, "It must have been caused by those dirty things, which sparked a fire by accident. Fortunately, when I said goodbye to you at night, the old lady and the lady didn't find out. How can this be good?"

Yuanyang packed up the cloak, called a nanny, wrapped the clothes and gave them away, "Hurry up and find someone to mend it, it will be used at dawn, don't let the old lady know."

The woman went there for two hours, and came back and said, "Miss Yuanyang, no one knows what this thing is made of, and no one dares to take it over."

Caiyun took the things and worried together with Yuanyang, and a little girl named Huixiang came up and said, "Sister Qingwen's needlework is the best, why don't you ask sister Qingwen."

Caiyun is worried, and Qingwen looks like an enemy when she sees her. You must know that Mrs. Wang sent her to see Baoyu one day, so how can she be blamed.Because of Qingwen's sharp mouth, Caiyun kept avoiding her.Seeing Caiyun's embarrassment, Yuanyang said, "I'll go and talk to her." When something happened to Baoyu's clothes, it was Caiyun who was scolded. These are things she should take care of.

Taking advantage of the New Year's coming, Yuanyang took the little girl to Jiamu's yard and secretly found Qingwen. "Qingwen, do you think this dress might be mended?"

Qingwen was honest with others, and she was very grateful to Yuanyang. If Yuanyang hadn't brought her to Jiamu's yard early that day, she would have been kicked out like everyone else.Now seeing Yuanyang looking for her, he took the clothes and looked at her carefully and said: "Yes, it's just a little more trouble."

Qingwen found her sewing kit, turned on the lamp, and checked that it was still dark. She sighed and said, "Yuanyang, you have to find me a few more lamps. I can't see clearly." Yuanyang found a few more lamps. , and moved a mirror from Jia Mu's room, and the room immediately brightened.Qingwen removed the inner lining of the clothes, stretched the clothes with a teacup-sized flower spreader, darned them stitch by stitch, and did not mend them until four o'clock in the morning.

Yuanyang stared at Qingwen's tired eyes, and hurriedly pressed Qingwen under the quilt to rest.I sent back the lamps one by one by myself, and also sent back Jiamu's mirror.Seeing that Qingwen was still staring and not sleeping, she tucked her in the quilt. "Qingwen, thank you very much."

Qingwen stretched out her hand from under the quilt and grabbed Yuanyang's hand, "Sister Yuanyang, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have to be kicked out too. I don't know what would happen." Tears dripped from her eyes.

Yuanyang looked at Qingwen who was full of gratitude, and put her hands back under the quilt, "From now on, let's take care of our sister and take care of each other."

Qingwen nodded, Yuanyang saw that Qingwen was asleep, so she turned off the lights, and went back to Yihong Courtyard with the package in her cloak.

Qingwen stayed up most of the night in winter, and the house she lives in now is not the place where charcoal fires were ignored in Yihong Courtyard in the past, so she feels headache and chills the next day.I knew it was because of the wind and cold, but fortunately it was a big festival, so all the needlework was done early, and I usually didn't do needlework during the first month.I ate some boiling water by myself, hid under the quilt, and shivered.When Yuanyang found out she was ill at noon on the first day of the lunar new year, when she came to see her again, Qingwen was already a little dizzy from the fever.

Yuanyang held Qingwen's hand and shed tears, "I blame me for telling you to stay up late all night mending the clothes."

Because it was Chinese New Year, it was not easy to call the doctor into the mansion, and it was in Jia Mu's yard, so I had to find someone to go to the pharmacy and buy some ready-made pills for Qingwen. There is a hidden danger.
