The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

The three talked for a while, Xiangling's mouth was clumsy, and gradually they just let Chai and Dai talk.Baochai and Daiyu get along every day, and when they have to talk a lot, they can't finish talking in a few days and nights; Daiyu's mood.At this moment, when Daiyu was thinking about Miaoyu in her heart, she couldn't say a few words about the daily routine of the car, so she had nothing to say.

The room was silent for a while, Daiyu reached out to pick up the froth with the tea lid, and asked Fan, "How long does your master normally last in retreat?"

Before Liaofan could answer, Xiangling turned sideways and smiled, "She's not sure about retreating. Sometimes she comes out after a cup of tea, and sometimes she doesn't come out for a day or two. She comes out today and goes in again." , it should not be long."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Ling is familiar."

Xiang Ling said: "It's not that I'm familiar, but I started a few clubs, and they were all my hosts. Every time, it was difficult for her to get an appointment, so I should be more careful."

Baochai asked her because of a smile: "Sister Ling and Master Miaoyu met each other last year, but it has been a year and a half now? I don't know how many times since last year, how many times have we started?"

Xiangling vaguely said: "There are so many people, maybe eleven or two times. She composes poems based on her interest. If she is interested, ten or twenty poems are just enough for a meal. If she is not interested, it is okay to not write for a month. of."

Baochai said with a smile: "It's rare to write one poem a month. If you can write ten or twenty poems at a time, you must be a great talent. I wonder if you can give me her poems?"

When Xiangling heard that she wanted to read the manuscript, she shook her head like a rattle: "I can't get her manuscript. If you want to read it, wait until she is out of customs." She shook her head, but she was right again. When Baochai winked, the two of them clearly saw it, but they didn't know it. Baochai said, "Then it's the same when she comes out." As he spoke, he put a piece on the chessboard and smiled at Daiyu. Said: "Dai'er, do you want to talk about it?" She has a dignified look and a graceful smile. No matter how you look at it, she looks like a lady from a great family, but her eyes turned around, revealing a little playful meaning, making Daiyu His heart skipped a beat, he turned his head and said, "I don't like this."

Baochai smiled at Xiangling and said, "Is sister Ling coming?"

Xiangling said: "I can't do it, or we can play Shuanglu." She only said one sentence, and Liaofan had already heard it, and hurriedly moved a backgammon from the shelf next to it, and Baochai got up and moved it to it. Next to Daiyu, let Xiangling sit in her original position, and the two rolled dice to move chess.

Daiyu was bored for a while, so she got up and looked for a few books on the bookshelf, only a few Buddhist scriptures that she hadn't read yet.She picked out a book and opened a page casually. When she was about to read it, suddenly the little nun who was watching the fire in the yard called out: "Master has come out." come over."

Xiangling threw the chess piece over, and Baochai followed her to go, but Daiyu grabbed her hand, so she stopped for a while, and heard Daiyu say in her ear, "This man is so arrogant, drink us like this." Shouting around and calling around, it's really rude."

Baochai smiled and said: "She has such a temperament, please be more considerate." He brushed Daiyu's hair and rubbed it on her head a few times, until Daiyu was satisfied, and leaned her head on her shoulder and squeezed her. get out.

Entering the main room, I saw that there are two rooms inside and outside. The inside is a quiet room, and the outside is a kang under the window. A lead pillow, covered with mats.Miaoyu sat there, and when she saw three people coming in, she stood up straight and made a Namaste salute.

Chai and Dai also bowed their heads to return the gift. Xiangling got up as soon as she lowered her head, half-blamingly said: "It's getting cold, why don't you change it into a mattress?" Looking again, he said: "Why is it this straw mat? Then Is the Dragon Beard Mat not good enough?"

Daiyu then whispered again: "Look, she's become more particular now. When she was at home, why did she care about food and things?"

Baochai squeezed her hand, and Daiyu kept silent, only looking back and forth between Xiangling and Miaoyu with her beautiful eyes.

But Miaoyu replied indifferently: "I am a monk, so I don't want to use such extravagant things. I have asked someone to throw away that mat."

Baochai asked money to pick out seven mats from the buyer, one each for Baochai, Daiyu, Zhang Jing, Baoyu, Xiangling, Lin Hai, and Lin Cunsu, Daiyu's stepson, and one for Xiangling. It's fine to give it away easily, but Daiyu was surprised that Miaoyu threw it away casually. She looked at Xiangling to see what she would say, but she saw Xiangling smiled naturally: "Yes. Now, you are a wonderful master outside the threshold, and I am an ordinary person inside the threshold, but I am a fool."

Daiyu had never heard the words "outside the threshold" and "inside the threshold", but she just found it novel and interesting, so she hooked Gou Baochai's hand and smiled in her ear: "This pair is perfect. We also want to It’s good to have such a pair of aliases.”

Baochai smiled, grabbed her hand that was pulling her hair, held it in his palm, and said quietly: "Forget it, I'm a layman, I can't be so noble, I'd rather you have a few rounds of talks with me at night, I don't know what's better." How many aliases."

Daiyu pulled her hand away, gave her a look, and said, "You are full of indecency."

Baochai went to shake her hand again, held her hand several times, then squeezed her palm and said with a smile: "Old husband and wife, this is not serious, what is serious?" Daiyu was so ashamed that she almost showed her face, You can only vent your anger by stepping on her feet hard.

Miaoyu saw that Xiangling was not angry, she smiled very lightly, and asked the three of them to sit down one by one, and she stayed by the side.Because of the presence of Baochai and Daiyu, it was necessary to meet him formally again, and then called Fan to brew three new cups of tea and serve them with his own hands.

Baochai recognized at a glance that there were two cups used in that life inside. Seeing that Miaoyu was going to get the rhinoceros, she deliberately reached out to grab the petal, but Miaoyu stopped her, and Miaoyu would light the rhinoceros Handing it in front of her, he said with a smile, "Benefactor Xue, please use this cup." Then he gave the petal of the cup to Daiyu, and finally handed a small Longquan celadon tureen to Xiangling.

Daiyu had never seen such a strange-shaped curio before. She played with it in her hand for a while, and then looked at Baochai's cup.Seeing that she liked it, Baochai handed the tea in her hand to her, and said with a slight smile, "I'll ask someone to bring back some cups tomorrow, and you can use whichever you like."

Daiyu was happy in her heart that she was considerate, but on the face she disliked it: "You keep your mouth shut, you just bought and received, this clean place makes you vulgar. I don't drink the vulgar tea handed by you, an ordinary person."

Baochai laughed and said, "You really don't want to drink?" Seeing Daiyu shaking her head, she picked up the little rhinoceros and drank it down in one gulp. Daiyu sighed and said, "Come on, come on, sit far away from me. , I’m afraid that Master Miaoyu will dislike me in a while, and will drive us out.” While saying that, pretending to move away, Xiangling believed it, and persuaded: “Miaoyu never cared about these things, my head The first time I saw her, I drank like this, and she didn't say anything about me."

Who knows that it's okay if she doesn't say anything, when she mentioned that time, Miaoyu showed a slightly sullen expression, and gave Xiangling a staring look, but Xiangling didn't realize it, and said to Miaoyu again: "Speaking of that time you The big bamboo root lamp you used is also very exquisite, why don't you see it in the future?"

Miaoyu said: "Is there anyone who tastes tea with such a big cup?"

Xiangling smiled and said: "I don't want you to make tea out of it, but please show it to Miss Lin. One cup is for taste, two cups are for thirst-quenching fools, three cups are for drinking donkeys, I remember what you said last time."

Miaoyu said: "You only remember my dead words, which are all about pictures."

Xiang Ling smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, so what's the matter?"

Miaoyu just pretended not to hear, and asked Fan to take out a large cup with nine tunes and ten rings and 120 knots of Panqiu carved with whole bamboo roots. Xiangling was very happy to see it, and said: "I think this bamboo vessel is better than that of gold and silver. Ordinary things are more suitable for your clean place here."

Seeing her talking, Miaoyu was happy in her heart, but she said seriously: "I took this out for the sake of the two benefactors, Lin and Xue, not for you."

Xiang Ling said: "Yes, yes, not only can I see this bamboo cup, but also I can enter this door and drink this tea, thanks to her two, I just thank them."

Miaoyu said: "Exactly, if it wasn't for the two of them, I would definitely not come out early when I was in seclusion. The appointed Shenshi must be Shenshi."

Xiangling just nodded in agreement.

Daiyu couldn't see her flattery, so she pinched Baochai's hand. Baochai was startled, but Daiyu gave her a wink and said, "Baochai has heard for a long time that Master Miaoyu is knowledgeable and talented in poetry." Agile, I admire you very much, and I will see you soon, do you dare to give me a lesson?"
