The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Baochai and Daiyu didn't know the truth about Xue Pan's study. Since Baochai liked Xue Pan's progress, he chose a day to pass Lin Hai's meaning to Aunt Xue. Said: "When we came that year, your aunt went to offer incense, and I also made a wish with her and gave incense. It can be seen that this Bodhisattva is alive! Change tomorrow, and you will follow me to fulfill your vows, and I will replace you Brother, add a few catties of sesame oil."

Baochai said with a smile: "I heard that there is a saying about lighting sea lanterns. It's okay to light a hundred catties for every one that is lighted for the elders. If it is for the children of the younger generation, then it can't be too much. I'm afraid there will be too many." I can't help it, I remember my mother ordered three catties for my brother, which is enough, any more will be a blessing."

Aunt Xue said: "Then I'll order another catty for you." After thinking about it for a while, she said, "I'll also order a catty for your sister Lin."

Xue Pan is the most important thing in Aunt Xue's heart. Xue Pan is entrusted by Lin Hai's family, thanks to Daiyu's strength. He became more and more sincere, so when he gave up sesame oil for his daughter, he also blessed Daiyu by the way.Baochai knew what she was thinking, so she just smiled and said: "Sister Lin is weak, so she should give up more. Just give her my idea and that's it. I'm born strong, so it's fine."

Aunt Xue said angrily: "I know you and her are good, but it's not such a good way. You two, one for each catty, come out of my private room. That's the deal, don't say any more."

Baochai said again: "Then mother, don't let others know."

Aunt Xue stared at her and said, "Do you think your mother is a fool or an idiot? If you ask me, you should talk less. Your sister Lin has told me several times that you are meddling and nagging endlessly." , it’s like this at a young age, what will you do when you get old!”

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but when she mentioned Baochai, she was annoyed: "She still has the nerve to talk about me. Yesterday Zijuan told me that it's so cold now that she doesn't even bring a hand stove when she goes out, and she goes out to play in the snow with the little girls." Those little hoofs really don't matter what size they are, and all kinds of icy snow and water were thrown at her. After half an hour of trouble, her face and hands were all red, and she was on the way back. You have a fever, and the old lady is still holding you in the room right now! I didn't go to her to settle the score, but she came to complain to you!"

Aunt Xue opened her mouth halfway when she heard this, straightened her body and said: "How did this happen? Those little girls are too ugly. They should be beaten-how are you sick now? You don't to see?"

Baochai said through her nose: "Why didn't I go to see it? When Zijuan said that I wouldn't even go to the old lady's place, she walked briskly. She was sick and lay on the bed with a cry Calling 'Sister Bao', her eyes are more swollen than when she was crying last time, and the red ones are turning blue, and she only cares about saying that snow is fun, but unfortunately the snow scene is not long. She is used to pretending to be cute! After cursing, she pretended to be pitiful, and said sadly that she had never seen snow in Suzhou before, and it was also in the south of the Yangtze River. We had a foot of snow every year. Why did she say that there was no snow skin? I have never seen snow, and it has been two years since I came to the capital. Didn’t I see Bai last year? He just talked nonsense and refused to listen to me! It annoyed me, so I ignored her and sat down for a while. Sit down and come back."

Then he said harshly: "The slave Yangzi who deserves to be struck by lightning! They are all pampered by Baoyu on weekdays, and they are used to splashing waves. They think that Yan'er is just like them. She is a daughter of a big family, spoiled and pampered, she will be sick for a few days after being pricked with a needle, and occasionally she gets excited, they don't know how to persuade her, she really thinks she is a master, and treats others like a person It's coming! The old lady is also lenient, if it's a girl in my family, she should have been beaten up and sold out." She said so angrily that even Qingque came up to refill her tea, and Qingque flinched. The neck quickly withdrew, scaring the girls so that they did not dare to approach her again.

Aunt Xue saw that she even said the words of 'splashing waves', so she could only laugh and said: "Let me tell you something, you have talked a lot, and I can't blame your sister Lin for hating you. I was just thinking that the two of you are the fish. Water and grass are inseparable, how come today I have time to talk to me alone, it turns out that Shao'er is sick, I'd like to go and see her."

Baochai said: "Mom, you are an elder. What's the matter with going to see her? Let me go for you."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Look, who said to ignore her just now? I'm going to visit her again now. I think you just said it with your mouth. I'm afraid your sister Lin sent someone to say something in front of you. You can't wait to run over with your shoes in your hands."

Baochai said solemnly: "I was kind enough to go to see her for my mother. Why did my mother arrange for me? Since that's the case, mother, you go by yourself, I won't go."

Aunt Xue laughed and said: "Come on! Come on! Come on! Why did I have such an enemy as you? Please go and see your sister Lin for me. Is it all right now?"

Baochai got up and went to see Daiyu pretending to be unhappy.

Daiyu always gets sick four or five times a year, and everyone is used to it, so they just send the girl to ask, and they dare not disturb her.Du Baoyu went to sit with her after school and read for her. Jiamu, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng all sent some food. Jiamu sent a bowl of soup, and Mrs. Wang sent a box of snacks. Sister Feng sent some gadgets to relieve boredom.

When Baochai went, Daiyu was looking at the food box. There were some snacks in it. She didn't like any of them, so she picked a piece of soft cake and ate a mouthful. Suddenly, she heard the parrot say, "Baby Elder Sister, Elder Sister Bao." Immediately overjoyed, she leaned back to look, but she didn't see anyone, and complained to Zijuan about the bird: "What a beast! I usually like to interrupt when I'm studying, but when I'm serious, I know nonsense!"

Zijuan said with a smile: "Miss also knows that it is a beast, so why bother with it! If you really miss Miss Bao, send someone to tell her."

Daiyu said coldly, "Who misses her? I'm so sick, she doesn't say she loves me when she comes, but just sits there without saying a word, who is she making such a bad face for?"

Before the words were finished, the parrot suddenly said again: "Sister Bao! Sister Bao!"

Daiyu threw out the remaining half of the dim sum and said, "If you shout again, your animal hair will be pulled out!"

Who knows that this time Baochai really came, and she threw all the scum all over her body, and said with a sneer, "Whose hair do you want to pluck?"

When Daiyu heard Baochai coming, she stretched out her hand for a moment, thinking of what she said just now, she only had time to call out: "Sister Bao." Seeing Baochai walking quickly with her willow eyebrows upside down, she quickly opened the quilt to hide in, and was caught. Baochai grabbed hold of her, first poked her forehead, then looked at her face, and then shouted: "I didn't know you hate me so much, you even want to pluck the feathers of the bird I gave you, hate it!"

Daiyu said anxiously: "I'm not..." When the words came to her lips, she hummed again: "You gave me, it's mine, if I want to pluck it, I can pluck it, you can control it." What! Zijuan, bring the pliers." As he said he wanted to get out, Baochai pressed him on the pillow and said, "You can't live in peace for a while? You have to make everyone feel uneasy, don't you?"

Daiyu said: "I know you didn't like me a long time ago. If I stay in the world, it's just an eyesore. It's better to die soon!" Baochai's face changed after she said a word, and she covered her mouth tightly and said: " I will call you a nonsense stinky mouth! Is this word easy to say?!"

Daiyu had never seen her face like this before, she was startled for a moment, and immediately burst into tears, crying and saying: "If you can choose, who would not want to be healthy and healthy! Everyone else is happy, and I am the only one People are watching alone from the side, do you think I feel better!" He said sadly, all the medicine he had just drank was turned up, and he hurriedly bent forward, Baochai quickly went to help, but she pushed it away vigorously, Zi Juan brought a small spittoon, and she spit out the medicine. The tears rolled down like broken pearls, and she coughed with her heart in her hands.

No matter how much Baochai had to say, she couldn't say anything at this moment. She just sighed, then reached out to pat her and said, "I know you are not feeling well and feel bored, but you shouldn't be so disrespectful. You see, it's the New Year's Eve. I happened to go to admire the plum blossoms together, and you can't get out of this illness."

Holding her heart in one hand, Daiyu cried, "Isn't it just right without me?"

Baochai said slightly annoyed: "What are you talking about! Stop thinking about it, Zijuan will boil another medicine. You drink it and lie down early."

Daiyu regained her breath, pushed her away with one hand, and refused to speak out of anger.

Baochai called out, "Sister Lin." She turned her head inside, Baochai looked at her from the other side, and she turned her head back again.

Baochai let out a long sigh, and said, "Little aunt, what's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable, or is it bored? What do you want me to do, just say it."

Daiyu glanced at her and asked, "Anything is fine?"

Baochai said, "You speak first."

Daiyu rubbed the quilt and said, "I want you to lie down with me."

Baochai laughed and said, "What's that saying? You child, the more you grow up, the more you will live."

Daiyu cried again: "I knew you were tired of seeing me!" She started to cry, hiccupped and panted, which frightened Baochai, and hurriedly said: "Okay, it's all up to you, you can say whatever you want. All right." As expected, she was lying beside her, and Daiyu let her in with the quilt open, Baochai said, "It's cold!"

Daiyu said: "If you don't come in, why are you accompanying me?"

Baochai had to put on her clothes and lie down. Touching Daiyu, her hands were cold. She held her quickly, warmed her with her palm, and called Zijuan to use the stove.

Zijuan came over with a pair of copper stoves and said, "Miss Bao still has a way. She refused to use hand stoves just now."

Baochai said: "If she refuses, you should force it in for her. With the strength of her two handles, they will fall down when pressed, and they cannot be twisted by you."

Daiyu pulled her hand from her hand and said, "You southern barbarian, my servant girl, I have been taught badly by you."

Baochai turned her face cold and said: "I haven't talked about you yet! If you're fine, what's wrong with you? Tossing back and forth like this? You're so filial to Uncle Lin because you're so filial to your parents?"

Daiyu was too embarrassed to tell her, so she turned her face away and refused to say any more.
