The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

When Baochai saw that Baoyu had left, she smiled at Daiyu and said, "Shall we continue to choose people?" Daiyu didn't answer, but just looked up and down at her, smiling while watching.

Baochai said strangely: "You don't do your business, you just look at what I do?" Daiyu smiled for a while, and then said: "I listen to you, and you look more and more like the teacher in the school. Let me Reminds me of when I was in school."

Baochai said, "Your gentleman, Jia Yucun, I can't afford to climb high." As he said, he picked up the piece of paper given by the matchmaker and read it again. He drew two circles with a pen and asked Daiyu, "" What do you think of these two?"

Daiyu said: "We have three girls, and there are only two of them here, and we have to choose another one. In addition, it is best to ask them to see it with their own eyes."

Baochai nodded and said, "That's natural." After the initial decision, she called Ying'er in, took the paper away, and asked her to call the matchmaker tomorrow. Ying'er knew it was about their marriage, and blushed. After folding the paper a few times, Daiyu saw her coming, but she remembered something again, so she asked, "Isn't Zijuan still willing?"

Ying'er shook her head and said, "The three of us took turns persuading her, but Sister Zijuan just insisted on refusing."

Baochai said: "Tell her that she is going back to Beijing with us. If she is implicated and sent home, I am afraid that she will not be able to come to Suzhou when the time comes." He came outside, refilled a cup of tea for the two of them, lowered his head and said: "Miss Bao, don't worry about me, I was given to you by the old lady, and I will only be by your side for the rest of your life. Naturally, I have nothing else to say, if the matter doesn't work out, my wife will be beaten and punished, so I have no choice but to admit it. You don't need to persuade me any more."

Baochai shook her head and sighed, "Idiot, idiot." But she stopped persuading her.

Daiyu took a good look at her and didn't say anything more.

The Yinger in the house, the blue sparrows and snow geese outside, always because of the azalea, they feel like the people who stand on their own feet and stand on their own feet. Let's get along together, parting is imminent, it's better to live the rest of these days well, don't think about those sad things." After saying a word, Xue Yan's eyes were red, Qing Que hesitated to speak, Ying Ying Zijuan kept looking at Baochai, and Zijuan said with a smile, "you're right, I think it's snowing outside again. This time it has accumulated an inch or two. Let's go out and make a snowman for fun." Leading the snow geese , Urging Daiyu Baochai again, several people put on clothes and played in the snow for a while before forgetting the words.

After Baoyu and Liu Xianglian talked earnestly several times, and discussed with those masters several times, they visited the prefect and started to arrange it. The prefect was also a person who had memorized the official amulet. The son-in-law of the mansion saw that he was knowledgeable and interesting, so he asked him a few words and then let him go. Baoyu arrested several local green skins and questioned him as a water bandit. "The first accusation is meritorious", in addition to being easily exonerated, an extra sum of money was also rewarded-since Baoyu did it with all her heart, she did it very quickly. Well, people, when the date of marriage is set, Liu Xianglian has already taken the money and went to Beijing all the way first.

Baoyu personally took care of the marriage for Ying'er and others. Chai and Dai didn't wait for the New Year, so they asked Jia Lian to guard them. They went all the way to Jinling, visited the former residence of Xue's family, visited Xue Biao and Baoqin, and stayed for a few days Day—the three of them were supposed to travel all the way, and return to Beijing in early summer. Unexpectedly, the envoy of Jia's mansion arrived in Suzhou, but he didn't see Jia Lian, so he flew to Jinling on a flying horse. It is convenient for him to return to Beijing, or Jia She is really seriously ill. He is a person who is used to wandering outside. When he heard the word "return to Beijing", he was really unhappy. Before leaving, the second reporter from Jia's mansion came again, saying that Jia Amnesty had died of illness, and Jia Lian hurried back to Beijing.

After all, Jia Lian was a father and son by nature, so he hurried in to discuss with Chai and Dai two people - she had already developed all the people around her to serve her, and there was only Zicuckoo in front of her, Jia Lian didn't do it this time. Bringing the goods, there are only two women and two male servants accompanying him. If they are divided into two groups, Jia Lian will have to serve alone, and only one male servant will stay to take care of him. Now the world is difficult, and her two delicate and beautiful daughters are afraid. If something happened, if they walked together, they thought they were slowing down, but fortunately Daiyu was considerate and said: "You can stand it on horseback, but there is no reason why we can't stand it on carriages. You just have to worry about it." Hurry up, we won't complain." He also asked someone to hire a carriage, bought a few big green donkeys, and changed carts and horses day and night, with food, clothing and daily necessities on the road, and within ten days they arrived in the suburbs of Beijing. He wanted to enter the city before dark, but Baochai stopped him and said, "Your father has just died, and there are complicated affairs in the family. There may be troubles between Xia Jingui, the eldest wife and the second master. Don't rush into the city. Wait for a few days." , find out the direction of the wind, and it won’t be too late to enter the city to host.”

Now Jia Lian has enshrined Baochai as a god. He listened to her and lingered outside the city for a few days. Even in Yuanchun, Jia Lian was so anxious that he came to find Baochai first, and immediately said, "Sister Xue, what should I do now?"

Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and said, "Is something wrong?"

Jia Lian stomped his feet and said, "I thought the family was separated, and the second uncle knew it all from now on. Who knows who is spreading rumors outside, saying how the second uncle invaded the land, and how did the second uncle overstep the rules? The order was ordered to be seized, but the case has not yet been finalized, but all the things in the house were searched for physical evidence—did sister Xue know about this earlier? Why didn't she tell Baoyu and me earlier!"

Baochai laughed and said, "Do you think I'm really a god, and I know everything by pinching my fingers? I know that something will happen to your family. It's because your family is in decline and people's hearts are unstable. Making things out of funerals, who would have thought it would be such a big deal to raid a house!"

Jia Lian was so anxious that he was at a loss, so he couldn't help but beat his palms, saying: "If it's just a few domestic servants, they definitely dare not show up like this, there must be someone behind them - once things get into the hands of the picker, what's the matter?" Innocent. Whether there is anything or nothing, it is not a matter of their lip service, I am afraid that the second uncle will be convicted of the crime of exceeding the system!"

Daiyu said: "You don't know anything inside, how do you know that your second uncle has committed the crime?"

Hearing that there was something in her words, Jia Lian raised her head abruptly, ignoring the defenses of men and women, stepped forward a few steps, grabbed Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, if you say that, could it be that Sister Xue has already got into trouble? If so, Please do not hesitate to teach me.”
