'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Tanchun was even happier, and ordered Cuimo to put the hairpin Daiyu had given her on her head, feeling that Sister Lin treated her more affectionately than other sisters, so she felt a little proud of herself.Bury this feeling quietly in your heart, treat it as a little secret, and don't tell anyone.

After a few days, Mrs. Wang sent someone to tell the old lady that there was a letter from the Xue family, and she would arrive in the capital soon.The old lady nodded in response, and smiled and told Daiyu, Tanchun and others that they had another sister.

Coincidentally, when Baoyu came back from school and heard the news, she stuck to Jia's mother and asked Baochai's name and temperament.

Jia Mu laughed and said, "I haven't seen her either. You'll know when she comes."

Aroused the curiosity of the Sanchun sisters and Baoyu, they gathered together to gossip about the Xue family. Of course, they did not forget to bring Daiyu into their gossip team.

Xichun said frightenedly: "I heard that Aunt Xue's son killed someone, and my sister has the same roots as him, so she must not be a good talker. It's better to stay far away."

Tanchun said: "I heard that the sister Bao who is coming is different from her elder brother. She is calm and open-minded, with both talents and virtues. I heard that she is here to be selected as a servant, and she is praised as a princess and princess. good."

Baoyu listened and nodded, her eyes lit up: "Then she will be the same as the eldest sister in the future." His face suddenly changed from joy to sadness and he said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other after entering."

He didn't even plan to serve him, so he was worried about it!

Daiyu laughed when she thought of this, which attracted Baoyu and others' attention.Baoyu felt that it was his words that made Sister Lin laugh, and with a sense of accomplishment in her heart, she also laughed with Daiyu.Tanchun and the others asked Daiyu why she was laughing.

Daiyu looked at Baoyu and pointed her index finger at him.

Baoyu is complacent, and has the excitement of finally finding a confidant after being alone for a long time.He approached Daiyu and asked, "You also think what I said makes sense?"

"I laugh at you because you can't see through. You worry too much. Sister Bao hasn't come yet, and hasn't participated in the selection, so you are sad about what happens after the selection. If I say, you want to do things in the future. God There are unpredictable things, people and things too, there are many variables, you take care of the present, and then think about the future."

"Hey, what sister Lin said is that I think too much." Baoyu hurriedly apologized, and smiled and agreed with Daiyu's lesson, and did not forget to praise Daiyu a few words.

Yingchun and others looked at Baoyu helplessly and sighed that he was hopeless.

"Sister Lin, what do you think of her?"

Xichun asked tremblingly, she was worried that the coming sister Bao would be like his bastard brother.Hearing Daiyu's words just now, I feel that she seems to be on the same road as me.

Daiyu didn't answer immediately, but was silent for a while, which attracted Baoyu, Yingchun and Tanchun's full attention.The three concentrated on Daiyu's small mouth, waiting for the final answer.

Daiyu pursed her lips and shook her head.Explained: "People have never seen it, so it's hard to evaluate it. What you hear is not what you see!"

ah?The three of them sighed in disappointment, scolding Daiyu for teasing them.On the other hand, Mrs. Wang who had been standing beside her raised her lips and glanced at Daiyu.

On the day Xue's family arrived in Jia's mansion, the weather was fine and everything recovered, and there was a magpie's nest on the big tree in Jia's mother's courtyard.

Daiyu and the others supported Jia's mother to see, and said with a smile: "There will be a happy event at home in a few days. My granddaughter is here to congratulate my grandmother first."

Jia Mu held Daiyu and Baoyu's hands tightly, looked left and right, and smiled from ear to ear.

Mrs. Wang clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand, smiled and said to Jia Mu: "It just so happens that they come here to make a nest, and my sister is also here today. It can be said to be a double blessing."

Jiamu nodded with a smile, and said bluntly: "We are not afraid of too many happy events, not too many, the more the better. ♀ Crazy Dota"

After a while, I saw maids and women entering the courtyard surrounded by a mother and daughter. The older one was smiling and kind, and the younger one was beautiful, wealthy and joyful. It must be Aunt Xue and her daughter Xue Baochai.The old lady led the crowd to welcome her into the house, and after exchanging greetings, Aunt Xue offered her favors and goods.Mother Jia took her to meet everyone in the family one by one, and then ordered a banquet to welcome the wind.

The elders naturally sat at the main table, and Baochai was a guest, so she should have sat beside Jia Mu with Aunt Xue. Seeing Li Daiyu, Baoyu, and Sanchun sisters sitting at the table comfortably, she pleaded guilty to Jia Mu and sat down with her. past.Both Tanchun and Baoyu got up to make room for Baochai, with Baoyu and Daiyu on one side, and Yingchun and Tanchun on the other.Baochai blinked playfully, thanked Baoyu, and sat down beside Tanchun and Yingchun.

Daiyu saw Baochai's behavior in her eyes, and couldn't help admiring Baochai secretly.She is not only exquisite and beautiful, but also has a clever personality.The seat seems to be chosen randomly, but it is not. Baochai has thought carefully.Baochai must have seen that Baoyu had a good temper and would not be annoyed if she was rejected.But if it was the girls, it might not be so. After all, the girls are young and they are girls, so they are the ones who care about the most.Therefore, in order not to offend anyone, Baochai chose to sit next to Tanchun.

Sure enough, after Baochai sat down there, Yingchun proudly showed off to Baoyu: "No one came to your place." Yingchun deliberately laughed at Baoyu for being unpopular.

Baoyu didn't mind, and said with a smile that Baochai was a guest, and he could sit anywhere.In addition, he specially ordered the serving maid to put all the special dishes in the capital in front of Baochai.

Baochai smiled sweetly, looking at Baoyu's eyes with enthusiasm and affection.She thanked Baoyu sincerely, and then tasted the dishes on the table one by one according to Baoyu's recommendation.

The specialties of Kyoto City are steamed, smoked, grilled and deep-fried, mostly meat-based.According to Baoyu's order, the dishes on the table were arranged in half and half of meat and vegetables.

Baochai thought that Baoyu and Daiyu were just at the age when they were young and loved to eat meat. It would not be good for her to monopolize it all by themselves, so she asked Baoyu and Daiyu if they wanted to eat, or that it would be better to change the dishes evenly.

Tanchun smiled at Baochai, "Sister Lin is weak and rarely eats meat. Second Brother Bao can eat anything, and Sister Bao doesn't care about them."

"Really?" Baochai looked at Daiyu curiously and blinked twice.

Daiyu was calmly putting a leaf of Chinese cabbage into her mouth at this time, when she heard Baochai talking to her, she put the vegetable leaf into the plate and nodded to Baochai with a warm smile.She looked at the delicacies from mountains and seas on the other side of the table, and breathed a sigh of relief, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Baochai smiled sympathetically at Daiyu, and then said nothing.She put a piece of steamed duck meat into her mouth, chewing it carefully, her brows and eyes showed a happy color.

Daiyu pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and slowly stuffed the vegetable leaves into her mouth.Hmph, she has been a rabbit for many years, and she is used to being a vegetarian.Provocations are not a threat to her at all!

While Daiyu was eating, she glanced unconsciously at the rice wine steamed duck on the table far away from her out of the corner of her eye, and took a deep breath secretly.It's so cruel, she won't even let her smell the fragrance.

After eating, Daiyu consciously rolled back to read.Two days ago, he found a copy of "The Collection of Redressal of Injustice" from Baoyu's desk. Baoyu was young and curious, so he took a look at it.Daiyu found it interesting and was very addicted to watching it.After dinner these days, I will definitely turn over a few pages.

Besides, the Xue family was arranged to live in Lixiangyuan, which is closer to the residences of Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.After dinner every day, Aunt Xue often came to chat with Jia Mu, and Baochai also came with her mother to find Daiyu, Yingchun and others, and make an appointment with everyone to read books, play chess or be a female celebrity.

Baochai was the oldest, and had helped her mother manage the housework when she was young, so she was naturally more upright in her ideas.Therefore, when the sisters get together, she often saves money to offer opinions and ideas.

Daiyu has always been a maverick, she likes to follow her own heart, and doesn't like to obey others.This caused a small reconcilable but unreconciled contradiction between Baochai and Daiyu.

Daiyu has recently become addicted to reading because of her fascination.When Baochai suggested that everyone read, she read; when Baochai suggested playing chess, she still read; when Baochai suggested embroidery, she still read; when Baochai suggested...she always read.

Daiyu's persistence wears away Baochai's initial patience.Since Daiyu doesn't fit in with the group, Baochai doesn't take Daiyu to play with her, instead she joins the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun to play and laugh.After a long time, it became a habit, and I never went to see Daiyu again, and only stayed with Sister Sanchun all day long.

One day, when Mother Jia and Aunt Xue were tired from playing cards, they planned to visit their granddaughters and granddaughters. When they saw Baochai and the Sanchun sisters playing together, they missed Daiyu.Mother Jia thought about it, and went to Daiyu's room to have a look, and found her precious granddaughter hiding in the room alone, reading.

Mother Jia then asked the little girl guarding the gate: "Has Miss Lin been in contact with Girl Bao and the others these days?" The little girl shook her head.

This situation made Mother Jia start to think more.

The purpose of the Xue family's coming to Beijing was to make it clear that they would send Bao girl to the palace for election.It was precisely because Jia's mother knew this, and because of her second daughter-in-law's hard work as a housekeeper for many years, she temporarily stayed with Xue's family.Gradually getting along with Xue's family for a while, Jia's mother saw that Baochai was still keeping her own place, calm and easy, like a good girl who knew the general situation, and then she thought about letting them live forever.Even knowing that Xue's family hadn't prepared for her election, they didn't have any other doubts.

Mother Jia pondered in her mind: Did Baochai exclude Daiyu on purpose, or did it happen unintentionally?If it is true, after careful consideration, could it be that the Xue family used Baochai's selection as an excuse to fall in love with Baoyu?Baoyu comes from a good family background, looks good, and has an easy-going and humble temperament, so he will naturally be gentle and respectful to his wife in the future.It is reasonable for the Xue family to take a fancy to Baoyu.But this fight is okay, if you want to come here in a fair manner, what's the matter with excluding her little granddaughter?

Thinking of this, Jia Mu immediately became dissatisfied with Baochai.A layer of anger rose from the bottom of Jia Mu's heart, but she still smiled kindly on her face, but didn't show it.She stood at the door and asked Daiyu, "Why don't you go play with the sisters?"

Daiyu was watching intently, when she suddenly heard a voice, she was so frightened that she put her hands behind her back.Seeing that it was Jia Mu, she hurriedly stuffed the book under the cushion and went to support her.

Seeing Daiyu's frightened action, Jia's mother darkened her face and asked her seriously, "What are you hiding from me?"
