The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Baochai led the maids to rush around. Daiyu said that she had slipped her tongue just now. She regretted it deeply and felt uncomfortable. Make a small pleat from the corner of the quilt, and look at Baochai from the inside. Baochai doesn't care about her, but calls Zijuan to bring another bedding, moves Daiyu inside, and sleeps next to her outside.

Seeing that she was not going away, Daiyu secretly smiled and nestled back in again. Unexpectedly, Baochai pulled down her quilt a little and said, "Sleep well, don't cover your head."

Daiyu snorted and fell asleep on her side.

That night, although Daiyu occasionally coughed in her dreams, she slept surprisingly soundly.Now that Baochai was separated from the quilt, the daydreams gradually extinguished, the anxiety and anxiety gradually disappeared, but the worry quietly crept up on his brows.She turned her head to look at Daiyu, who had already unconsciously turned around in her sleep, and turned her childish face towards Baochai.Everyone is a lady, she has been deeply restrained since she was a child, and she abides by etiquette in every word and deed. Therefore, at the age of eleven or twelve years old, she already acts and speaks like a half-adult. After all, I still don't understand the private thoughts of my youngest daughter.Even though Baochai had a thousand things to say, she couldn't tell her clearly, so in a hurry, she just said that she would wait for the future, and only hoped that in a year or two, Daiyu would forget about it, and Daiyu was coaxed by her, but The stillness of the night is the most likely to cause melancholy, Baochai leans against Daiyu, I can smell her delicate breathing in my ears, I can see her beautiful face in my eyes, and the scent of medicine that seems to be on her body is in my nose, how can I not Thoughts abound?

The first time love ~ Dong Baochai can be regarded as a coincidence, but the second time I can no longer take it lightly and ask myself, is it the love for Daiyu that I know between sisters, or... that unspeakable love?

Baochai is unknown.However, she knew that such shocking feelings must not be exposed to the world at will.She is always familiar with this. She has been suppressing herself since her father's death, trying to transform herself into a perfect girl, trying to help her mother and brother, and supporting the family.She was able to hide the disappointment of failing in the draft in the previous life, the caution of living in the Jia family, and even the vague affection for Baoyu. In this life, she can also bury the strange feelings for Daiyu in her heart. people see.

Moreover, Baochai secretly hoped that her feelings for Daiyu might just be a fantasy dream when she was young, and when she really grows up, all of this will be like dew at night, blown away by the wind, and will not be forgotten. leave no trace.

It's just that she is a person who has passed her whole life. Although she is still a teenager in her shell, she has already gone through vicissitudes of life inside. Is this kind of feeling that she gave birth to, really just a child's daydream when she was young?

...The dividing line in Sister Bao's continuous depression...

Daiyu was woken up by Baochai in the morning. Baochai had finished dressing and washing, and Zijuan came over with porridge. Daiyu straightened up a little and saw that it was bird's nest porridge. What did you say? After washing up a bit, I drank half a bowl of porridge, and said in a coquettish voice, "I feel sick to my stomach."

Seeing that she was willing to use things, Baochai didn't force her too much. Watching the girl put away the things, she asked someone to take the clothes and said, "Second sister-in-law sent someone to say that the doctor will be here in a while. You just lie down with your clothes on. Those who changed back and forth caught cold again."

Daiyu nodded, and Baochai ordered the stove to be lit vigorously. The windows were closed tightly and the curtains were around, fearing that Daiyu would be cold again.

Daiyu changed her clothes and leaned weakly against the bed. Baochai chatted with her. Seeing that Baochai's face was not unhappy, Daiyu said, "Sister Bao, read to me."

Baochai hummed, then picked a book at random and read it softly, touching Daiyu's forehead from time to time, Daiyu not only liked her cold palm, but also saw that she didn't seem to be angry because of yesterday, so she wanted to get tired of her more and more. Let her approach, but Baochai refused, put down the book and said: "Sister Lin, if you treat me sincerely, let me tell you, you have to obey me-we will get along as before in the future, but we can't be too obscene ,Okay?"

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, and said, "It doesn't make sense to use the word obscene! We sisters should be as restrained and restrained as we are with men!" As soon as the words came out of her mouth Seeing Baochai raise her eyebrows lightly, she hurriedly said, "Of course, if you're too intimate, of course it won't work."

Baochai said softly, "Don't be wronged either. What I said is justified. Do you know Gong Zhiqi?"

Daiyu said: "You and I are the acquaintance of Boya Ziqi, how can it be compared with the relationship between the monarch and his ministers?"

Baochai laughed and said, "I'm just making fun of him. You're also a well-read poet, so you'll understand the truth when you hear it."

Daiyu was entangled by her words, she tilted her head and thought about the reasoning, but she thought that the doctor came and there was no result, the doctor asked about it, and wrote a prescription, Baochai saw it in person, and then handed it to the little girl The girl went to fry it into a bowl, and Daiyu was lying on the bed. When she saw her bring the medicine, she asked, "Sister Bao, I don't understand."

Baochai said with a smile: "If you don't understand, just remember it. If you really can't think about it, then I will tell you when the time comes."

Daiyu knew that she was blinded by her, and snorted, because Baochai was coordinating internally and externally, busy going in and out, all aspects were sincere and sincere, and she was sure of Baochai's intentions for herself. , I was too embarrassed to hang on to this matter, so I took it lightly, and didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and said: "I remember everything you told me, so don't you think about it when the time comes." rely!"

How could Baochai not know her?Seeing that she intentionally exposed this one, she naturally let it go gently, smiled and fed her the medicine, read a few paragraphs of the book again, after Daiyu fell asleep from exhaustion, she used the needle and thread from Zijuan to do it again, While doing it, I thought that this is Daiyu's clothes. Apart from the sweetness, it is inevitable to feel sad, but the hands are more delicate.

It happened that Baoyu came in on tiptoe and asked through the door, "Is the hairpin asleep?"

Baochai was startled, a blood hole was pricked in her hand, she hurriedly covered the needlework and said, "She is asleep, Brother Bao, come back later."

But Baoyu had already walked to the side lightly, and approached: "Who is Sister Bao making clothes for?" Then said: "Sister's hand is bleeding."

Baochai hurriedly put her finger in her mouth and sucked it, saying: "I think Zijuan and the others are fun to make, so I made it."

Baoyu stood looking at it for a while, and said enviously, "My sister is good at stitching." He wanted Yang Baochai to make something for him, but he didn't dare to be abrupt, and he thought of Daiyu, so he stood and leaned over the bed to look at her.

Seeing his familiar appearance, Baochai felt an unknown anger for some reason, and said in a low voice: "Brother Bao, you are also at this age, why are you still acting like a child and not avoiding any suspicion? Brother Huan knows that you can't be casual." If you enter the door of your sister and sister, you will come in recklessly, and people will come to see it when they are sleeping."

Baoyu said awkwardly, "We are not in the way." Baochai looked across and said, "Could it be that you are not a man, or is she not a woman? Nothing is in the way!"

Baoyu was so bored by what she said, so he pretended to say a word of comfort, and went out dejectedly, thinking that Baochai thought he didn't distinguish between inside and outside, and that men and women were careless, so he didn't enter the inner house first, but went outside. Who knows that Jia Zheng is coming to see Jia Mu, and when he sees Baoyu, he drinks first, "Stop!"

Baoyu was so frightened that he stood still, Jia Zheng asked, "It's broad daylight, why aren't you in school? Did you come here instead?"

But Baoyu, because of the sweet-scented osmanthus last time, the former Qingke secretly told him every time, saying that the master liked his filial piety very much, so he was not as afraid as usual for a while, knelt down slowly, walked up a few steps on his knees, raised his head and said : "I went to school in the morning and studied books. The grandfather said that it is the twelfth lunar month, and only half a day of class is good, and later said that the old lady is not well, so I came back to see the old lady."

When Jia Zheng heard about it, his face paled, and he shouted: "You only said to visit the old lady when you come back every day. I think every time I go to see the old lady, she is fine. Why is it not good for you to talk about it every three days or so?" Yes! You go in with me, I want to ask the old lady, if I find out that you have lied, I will break your dog legs!"

Baoyu was full of slander, but he also stood up and followed Jia Zheng to the back. He was afraid that the master would be angry, and wished he could serve with 12 points of cleverness. When he met the threshold, he said, "Be careful, master." Seeing the stone, he said first, "Master This way."

Jia Zheng saw that he had such filial piety, he stroked his beard and smiled, his expression became more and more gentle.

The two walked to the door of the old lady's house, and the maid had already informed them.When Jia's mother heard that she was coming with Baoyu, she knew she must be asking why she didn't go to school, so she asked someone to help her to lie down on the bed. "What's the matter, mother? Is it because of Miss Lin? I heard that a doctor has been hired, mother, don't worry."

When Jia's mother heard him talk about Daiyu, she got worried again and scolded: "You uncles have no conscience. You don't send anyone to ask about such a single-rooted niece who is sick at home, and you don't even invite him to come." A better doctor, you ask yourself, can you be worthy of your dead sister!"

Jia Zheng said in a low voice: "My son has already sent Mrs. Wang to see him. Although the doctor he invited is not an imperial doctor, he is also a well-known master in the city. Mother, don't worry."

Jia's mother said angrily, "Daiyu lives here. Don't I know who came to see and who didn't? I also know that you are an official family, and you are busy with business. We won't bother you with our affairs. Yours, let alone such a trivial matter as a niece!" Yixing said, and Yixing cried again: "I only have pity on my Min'er!"

Jia Zheng was also agitated, and she shed tears. I was afraid that I would tire Jia's mother again, so he gave Baoyu a look and said, "I don't persuade your grandmother to go! I love you for nothing!" Baoyu hurried to help Jia's mother, Jia Zhengfang resigned, and sat alone in the study lamenting and mourning for the young girl.
