The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

On the day of Huachao, Baochai went to the mansion early, and Daiyu and others were all dressed up, sitting at the Yingchun place to talk, and Shi Xiangyun was also picked up, and had a laugh with Tanchun and the others.

As soon as Baochai walked over, Xueyan saw her and called out softly, "Miss Bao is here." Inside, Zijuan opened the curtain, and Daiyu looked out, just as Baochai was going in, she grabbed her. She smiled and said, "Sister Bao came just in time, you can choose for me, which of these two kites is better?"

Baochai took a look and saw a dozen big kites spread out inside. Daiyu was choosing between Xi Shi and Wang Qiang, because she said with a smile: "The beauty kite is so big, it takes a lot of effort to fly, it's better to choose a small one, such as Flowers and plants, it’s just a matter of letting it go.”

Hearing her words, Daiyu picked out a kite of lotus, and when Tanchun came to ask Baochai to choose, she picked up a kite with a string of plums. Daiyu was not very experienced before Baochai came. Xin, at this moment, I saw a whole branch of plum blossoms drawn obliquely, full of character, quite interesting, I couldn't help playing with it a few times, and said: "Sister Bao has a good eye."

Baochai said, "If you like it, I'll change it with you."

Daiyu said: "It's not a rare thing, so let's put it away." At a time, Ping'er came from outside with a few women carrying some things like baskets. I bought things and forced to open the storeroom early in the morning, Babaer chose these, the girls have a look, choose a few more, so I can go back and report."

Daiyu put Furong's down again, and looked in the basket, but she couldn't see what she liked, so Xue Pan sent someone to say, "I think today is the flower court, so I asked someone to buy a kite for the girl and everyone in Jia's house." girl to play."

Baochai said, "Mom is in charge of all the money, so where does he get the money to buy the kite?"

The mother-in-law who delivered the letter smiled and said: "Look at what the girl said, the man in charge doesn't have the money to buy a few worthless kites, isn't it a joke?" You brought it."

The woman was not serving in the inner house, and she didn't know anyone very well. Because Daiyu and Baochai were standing together, she didn't know who it was, and she didn't dare to reply, so she kept silent.

Baochai said: "Go back and tell my brother, please trouble him to think about it, and then ask for me, is he going out today? Who will he go out with? Well, tell mom, don't come back too late, call mom Worry."

The mother-in-law complied, repeated it again and withdrew, Baochai was worried after all, and sent her to see the blue sparrow——the green sparrow, because Yinger was originally an oriole, and Daiyu also had azaleas and snow geese. Baochai simply changed her girl to Daiyu's name.

Seeing that Baochai was worried about her elder brother, Daiyu took her by the hand and said, "Sister Bao, don't worry. I see that elder brother Xue always thinks about his aunt and you when he encounters troubles. He is not confused to the end. Please persuade me and he will be fine in the future." of."

Baochai said, "I accept your auspicious words." Daiyu was afraid that she would be depressed, so she deliberately took her to see the kites. Because there were so many big and small baskets here that they couldn't fit in the house, they all piled up in the yard. Baochai hurriedly called Zijuan took the hood, but Daiyu asked Yinger to get the cloak. The two smiled when they looked at each other, and Shi Xiangyun waved his hand from the middle and laughed: "Every time I go home, I only hear Sister Lin and Sister Lin talking to each other. Brother Ai, what should I do? When I got here, I only saw the two of you sticking together, and I was tired of it. If Sister Bao was a young man, or Sister Lin was a handsome young man, that would be understandable. The two sisters Don’t you think that’s the case?”

Daiyu spat: "No shame, no shame, what is born after a young age, is that what you should say? Whoever loves his brother loves his brother, you like Baoyu, you go play with him!"

One sentence made Shi Xiangyun blush with embarrassment, but he refused to admit defeat and said: "Sister Ai, the third sister, did you listen to what I said? Sister Lin is absent-minded when she wakes up early in the morning. When Sister Bao comes, she seems to be alive. Where is Sister Bao?" , I talked to Sister Lin as soon as I came here, and I haven't separated my hands until now. The sisters and sisters used to be close and distant, but they acted like no one else, as if they didn't treat everyone as sisters."

Baochai said with a smile: "I know you like Baoyu and Yingchun. You love your elder brother and your elder sister one by one. When you turn around, you make things difficult for her. I pity her for opening her mouth. She hasn't said anything to anyone all morning. I don't know why I feel aggrieved." Well, what if you just let her say a few words?"

When she said the first two sentences, Daiyu still listened to her, but when she said the latter, she shook her hands angrily, and said, "Look, she still said she was friendly with me, and bullied me like this in front of you." Chai went to Shi Xiangyun's area and said, "You like her, tell her to bully you quickly, I'd be fine."

Tanchun smiled and said: "Sister Bao walked all the way, and she didn't even take a sip of water, so she just told you to talk about it. The servant is going to get a cup of tea, and ask Sister Bao to drink some tea."

Baochai said with a smile, "I'm fine. Let's go and choose the kites." Taking the lead, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun came out in a file. Many, go to the garden, all of a sudden large and small kites filled the air, more than a hundred!

Zijuan flew the kite up and handed it to Daiyu. Daiyu said, "I want to fly it by myself." She asked Xueyan to hold one and retreated as she walked. Baochai and Xiangyun flew the kite from the other side and came straight , the two approached, and Baochai and Daiyu were bumping into each other, but they didn't look at themselves, and supported Daiyu, saying: "Sister Lin, did you hurt Wei?"

Daiyu said: "It's nothing." Looking up, she saw that her kite was crooked and was about to fall. When it was broken, the two kites flew out crookedly, and they were still entangled in the sky before disappearing all of a sudden.

Daiyu said angrily, "Sister Bao, I didn't do it on purpose... tell someone to look for it over there."

Baochai said: "Seeing that it's someone else's yard over there, where do you go to find it? Besides, it's supposed to be a sickness. Your sickness will fly away." He took Daiyu with one hand and Xiangyun with the other. Said: "Come on, everyone go and get a few more, the more sickness can be released, the better."

Daiyu let her go. Here, the maids and women are flying wildly, and some of them simply let go and let them go. There are beauties, flowers and leaves, gods, and ghosts all over the sky. Shi Xiangyun has already picked out some strange ones Strangely, he turned his head and waved: "Sister Bao, Sister Lin, come quickly, if you don't come again, you will be gone."

Daiyu pouted and said, "There looks like a girl from everyone there." Baochai poked her cheek and said, "She came out of the house with great difficulty, so it doesn't matter if you let her be loose, after all, she is guest."

Daiyu wondered, "Isn't she good at home?"

Baochai said, "Everyone has his own affairs."

Daiyu didn't ask any more questions, but took Baochai to choose a few more, and laughed with Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun until Sister Feng sent someone for dinner.

...I am the chapter divider...

Sister Feng presided over the feast of the Flower Dynasty, which was full of flowers and lively. Not to mention Youshi and Qin Keqing, Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others all sent people to say hello.

Jia Zhen has a table every day, so she invites her brothers to have a drink, which is regarded as having fun with her family members.

Baoyu came in a hurry after school, first went to Jia Zhen and other places for a little entertainment, and then came in. Just as Jia Mu and everyone were watching an opera, he saw Baoyu at a glance and asked, "How is the school? Is anyone naughty?" Why aren't you wearing big clothes?" and so on, Baoyu rolled around in her grandmother's arms, changed clothes, and then backed out, and said to Daiyu, "My dear sister, move a little bit and let me sit here. "

Before Daiyu moved, Shi Xiangyun moved a little to set up a small stool, and Baoyu sat there. Seeing that the performance was to celebrate the birthdays of Guo Ziyi's seven sons and eight sons-in-law, he refused to watch, and only talked to his sisters.

Baochai chatted a few words with him, and saw that Daiyu was just peeling the melon seeds, so she reached out to pat her and said, "I've eaten a lot, and I don't think I'll eat tonight."

Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister Bao, she's used to it. If you don't tell her to use it, she won't be able to use it at night. Why don't you fill it with some snacks? It's a good idea."

Baochai said: "You are the same as her. The little people don't eat three meals a day, and they don't leave their snacks on weekdays. You are not allowed to eat them."

Baoyu sticks out her tongue, looks at Daiyu with her eyes, and motions her to leave the table, but Daiyu just laughs and throws away her melon seeds after hearing what Baochai said, wipes her hands, and starts to watch the play seriously.

Baoyu moved the stool over and asked Daiyu, "What's so interesting about this kind of play?"

Daiyu whispered: "I think it's nice to have a big family and see the bustle and bustle."

Baoyu also looked carefully, and saw that there were brocade flowers on the stage, and the fire cooking oil, but he said disdainfully, "They are all official beetles." Then he said, "Look at Mrs. Guo, she doesn't look like Sister Bao? "

Daiyu listened, gouged him out, leaned on Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, I don't read many history books. Tell me about Guo Ziyi's allusions."

Baochai knew that she was deliberately playing tricks on Baoyu, so she didn't break it down, so she said slowly: "Guo Ziyi was a general of the Tang Dynasty. Queen Mother."

Daiyu glanced at Baoyu and said with a smile, "It's worth living for such an eminent family."

Baoyu snorted at the side, and Baochai said, "So what if you are enviable? Of the clan that is not decadent, the Guo family probably hasn't reached the fifth generation yet."

Baoyu was a little displeased when he heard the words, so he couldn't refute, so he sat down for a while and went to find others by himself.

Daiyu waited for him to leave, and Fang whispered in Baochai's ear, "Sister Bao, he has his parents to worry about. Why do you plan for him like this?"

Baochai also whispered: "Although he is an idiot, I think he is the only one who can make plans in this mansion." In her heart, she was only afraid that Daiyu would marry Baoyu like in her previous life, so When Baoyu finally took her heart, Daiyu saw that she was serious, and said solemnly: "Sister Bao, don't worry, I will persuade him from time to time."

Baochai said: "Don't talk too much. It will make him bored. It will be useless for anyone to persuade you. We will just take it slowly. Besides, you have to have a plan yourself, such as gold and silver. I have an idea, in case something happens, it’s better to have some money by my side.”

It was not the first time Daiyu heard her say this, she was puzzled, and she solemnly agreed.

Everyone watched the play for a while, because Sister Feng ordered it according to Jia Mu's preferences, and the young girls couldn't bear it. Jia Mu also knew that they were restrained, so she sent them all away, leaving only Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Feng. Accompanying them, Yingchun and the others came out, Ping'er asked someone to clean up another table of snacks and fruits, and everyone ate and played chess at Daiyu's place.

After Baoyu drank some wine, he also came over and lay there watching them play.Suddenly Jia Huan also came over, poking his head at the door.When Baochai saw it, he beckoned and said, "Brother Huan, come inside, it's cold outside."

Jia Huan came in hesitantly, Zijuan showed him a seat, and he watched the sisters play chess, stretching out his hands to eat the snacks, scratching until his face was covered with crumbs.Just when Baoyu was feeling upset, he saw it from the side of his eyes, sat up and scolded, "What are you doing?"

The younger brother was always afraid of his elder brother, but Jia Huan was not afraid of Baoyu. Just because all the sisters were present, he bowed his head in embarrassment.Baochai said: "Forget it, what do you say he does? A little snack is nothing valuable."

Jia Huan's nanny came over at this time and said, "Third Master, it's not easy to take it like this. It's about to be wiped clean." When he was about to take Jia Huan out again, Tan Chun frowned and said, "Where have you been? Why did you leave him alone?" Walking outside?"

Seeing that it was Tanchun, the nurse smiled and bowed and said, "The third master came around from the other side without paying attention, so he didn't follow. Don't worry, girl, there are three or four people."

Daiyu said with a smile, "So I followed three or four people, and I accidentally went around."

Tanchun became more and more angry, and wanted to scold the nanny again, but Baochai stopped him, and Baochai said gently: "Mom, don't rush to take him away, anyway, everyone is here to play, so it's good to ask Brother Huan to sit down. "

Baoyu was very displeased, but this was Daiyu's place, and Daiyu didn't say anything, and he couldn't do it for him, so he had to sit up sullenly and watch Daiyu play chess.

Baochai said: "Brother Bao, you can take Brother Huan to play." Tanchun also ordered to bring Jia Huan to play with bergamot and other things. The little girls chatted and went to tease the parrot after a while, tossing endlessly.

Daiyu was troubled by him, so she couldn't leave. Tanchun wanted to distract Jia Huan, but Shi Xiangyun talked to Baoyu, and finally became Baochai and Yingchun. Daiyu sat on the couch next to Baochai. Come on, count chess for her.

Baochai's chess skills are average, and the victory lies in his age. He and Yingchun also lost and won. When Daiyu came over, he whispered to her for a while, gave her advice, and the odds of winning became seven or three. Shi Xiangyun and Baoyu came, Xiangyun said : "Sister Bao is cheating, the second sister is about to overturn her chessboard." Yingchun just laughed, and after losing a few moves, she couldn't push her hands anymore.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Sister Lin and I will get off."

Daiyu only smiled when she saw her reluctance, and Baochai said, "Let's have four."

Baoyu clapped his hands and said, "It's just right, please ask the second sister to be a notary."

Yingchun nodded and moved away, so Baoyu was next to Xiangyun, and Baochai was next to Daiyu. The four of them fought on the kang table, but at night there was no winner.Yingchun, Tanchun, Jia Huan, and Xichun couldn't take it anymore and left. The four of them were still thinking hard. Baochai accidentally looked up and saw the sky outside, and said in surprise: "I have to go, the gate of the garden will be closed."

Daiyu pulled her and said, "What's the point if Sister Bao stays overnight? Playing chess is important." Before she could say anything, she made a move first, and then told Zijuan: "Send someone to tell my aunt that Sister Bao will come to you at night. Stay here, tell Auntie not to worry."

Zijuan ordered people to report the news early, just when Jia Mu also sent someone to say, "Yun girl will live with me at night, and tell Bao girl to live with Yu'er."

It turned out that it was too late for Jia Mu to play the card game. Jia Mu was in high spirits, so she kept Aunt Xue and asked her to live with Mrs. Wang at night. clothes come.

The four listened to Jia's mother's words, and played with peace of mind. Finally, Chai and Dai narrowly won a son, and after clearing the chess game, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Daiyu hurriedly got up and sent someone to make the bed. Zijuan Yinger helped the two of them undress and wash, and then heated the quilt by the stove. The two of them got on the bed and lay side by side. At this moment, they were closer than last time. Chai took a sniff and said with a smile: "Sister Bao, you really have a fragrance on your body. It's cold and smells good."

Baochai said: "I don't use those flowers and powders. You are confused about the fragrance from there." As soon as Daiyu said it, she also sniffed her shoulder and said, "Your body is full of dust It smells like medicine."

Daiyu said: "It's the smell in the house that smells on me."

Baochai smiled and said, "I think it's the smell from you that has polluted the room." Seeing her face showing a little self-pity, she hurriedly said, "The fragrance of this natural herbal medicine is much better than the fragrance of those powders. I like it very much, and Brother Bao probably likes it too."

Daiyu said sullenly, "Alright, what are you talking about that idiot for?"

Baochai said, "I just want to say that I am not the only one who thinks you smell good."

Daiyu said: "Who have I become! I want others to smell it."

Baochai said: "It's my fault. Sometimes when I'm close to you, I speak a little impertinently. Please forgive me."

Seeing her looking sideways at her, Daiyu blushed for some reason, and said in a low voice, "That's okay, I know Sister Bao is my best friend."

Baochai laughed, patted her hand lightly and said, "Go to sleep."

Normally, the two girls slept in the same bed at home, so they had to talk until late, but Baochai was afraid that Daiyu would be weak and dare not make a fuss, so she was a little restrained.

Who knows that Daiyu is lying down, but she also has some thoughts.She had been on good terms with Baochai on weekdays, and she was the first of her sisters to Baochai. Since that day, she and Baochai have exchanged their feelings, but their feelings are more different than the others. She feels that there is only one Baochai in the whole family. Chai and her know each other and cherish each other, but it will be a different situation for Baochai.However, when sisters are together, it is always not good to treat each other more favorably than others. For example, today Shi Xiangyun was dissatisfied. It's not good to accidentally say it out of excitement, so I made up my mind to go to bed early.

The two were thinking about each other, lying flat on the bed.Daiyu's bed is not big, so it will fit the two of them together, but fortunately both of them are ladies, and they always behave in a strict manner, even if they are in the same bed, they are not afraid of tumbling and indecent things, and they can sleep peacefully after a while .

Unexpectedly, Daiyu has always been weak, and her body is cold, so she will inevitably be squeezed into warm places at night.Baochai has a plump body again, her skin is smooth and delicate, it is very comfortable to hug her, she hugged her unconsciously in a daze.Because it was hotter in Daiyu's room than her own, Baochai also kicked off half of the quilt. It was cold in the middle of the night, and in a trance, she thought Daiyu was just a quilt, so she hugged her in front of her and leaned on her tightly. In the morning, she opened her eyes. In the blink of an eye, both of them were taken aback.

Daiyu couldn't say anything about Baochai, so she complained to Mama Wang: "You are on duty at night, and half of Sister Bao's body is exposed outside, why don't you cover her?"

Mother Wang called Qu and said, "I got up and covered the girls several times, and even separated the girls, who knew that I kicked them again after a while. I tossed and tossed five or seven times in one night, and I didn't sleep until the morning. Miss Bao lifted the quilt again."

Baochai blushed, and Daiyu said angrily, "Mother, don't shirk, negligence is negligence." Baochai squeezed her palm and said with a swollen face, "Let's not remember this time, but it can't be like this next time. "

Baochai coughed lightly, and said, "Next time I'll go to the second and third sisters, you won't be able to sleep here either."

Daiyu saw that her cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, which was quite different from usual, she was slightly stunned, but said: "Next time we will separate the bedding."

Ying'er chuckled, and said, "I live next door, so the girl should just go back, and besides, was there a time when she played so late?"

Baochai blushed suddenly again, and even Daiyu's face was flushed with a thin layer of fever.
