The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

After Jia Zheng specially invited Doctor Wang, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng sent people to visit Daiyu in turn. Even Jia Zhen in that mansion also said to Youshi: "Sister Lin is ill, you send someone to see Daiyu." Ask." After thinking about it for a while, You Shi came to see Jia Mu in person, went straight from Jia Mu's place to Daiyu's place, and saw many little girls playing with parrots outside from a distance, and faint laughter came from inside. , the outsider opened the curtain and said, "Grandma Zhen is here."

The laughter inside didn't stop, only Daiyu said with a smile in her voice: "Please come in quickly."

When Youshi went in, he saw Daiyu sitting on the head of the bed in a big dress, and Baochai sitting obliquely opposite her, both of them were smiling with their palms outstretched. Daiyu bowed slightly to Youshi and said, "Sister-in-law Zhen is here. Forgive me for not being far away."

Youshi laughed and said, "You'll be the most knowledgeable and polite when you get well soon—what are you playing?" Baochai just looked at Daiyu and smiled without saying a word, and Daiyu held out her hand to Youshi. Said: "Playing clapping, elder sister Bao bullied me because of my age, sister-in-law, look, my hands are red from clapping."

Baochai said to her: "Who insists on playing clapping? Count how many times I have let you down? If you lose, you are not convinced, and you still rely on me!"

Daiyu said to Youshi: "Sister-in-law, look, she bullies the patient like this in front of people."

Youshi patted her hand with a smile and said: "All the women in our garden know that sister Xue and you are the best friends, so why would they bully you? It's good that you don't bully her."

Baochai said with a smile: "Sure enough, justice is at ease! Look, everyone in the world knows that you bully me, so why do you have the nerve to open your eyes and tell lies!"

Daiyu stared at her, deliberately ignored her, and let Zijuan watch the fruit on the tea.Baochai didn't move, so she asked how the You family was doing, and said, "I vaguely heard that the Qin family is ill."

After hearing this, Youshi sighed: "This child is not blessed. If he falls ill during the festival, it is not easy to get a doctor. We can only take care of it first, and we can see it after the festival."

Daiyu heard that her tone was not good, and hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

You Shi said: "I'm tired from the New Year. I've been busy since last month and haven't rested until this month. That day people were distributing the cards, and suddenly they stopped talking, as if in a daze, and put your brother and me together. I was terrified, and now it’s better, but I don’t like to see people. It’s also my fault that I’m lazy and tired of the child.”

Baochai said: "What is the elder sister-in-law talking about? It is her duty to be a daughter-in-law's housekeeper. Unfortunately, she is weaker. Take it easy."

Youshi sighed, and said again: "There have been a lot of things in the past two years, and I can't do it alone. What your brother means is to ask your sister-in-law Lian to help, so he sent me here to ask the old lady for help. Are you done? It's a pity that Feng'er is too busy, and I have to hold on when I go back."

Both Daiyu and Baochai praised her, saying that she had worked hard, and Baochai said: "Brother Zhen is the head of the clan, and my sister-in-law is more troublesome than others during the New Year."

Youshi said: "That's not true! Nowadays those people really don't look as good as they should. A Brother Rui from Langxia was sick and said he wanted to use ginseng. It's a pity that it's the New Year's Eve, and there aren't many of these things, I only gave two taels, and I don't know if it will be useful."

Baochai said: "I saw a woman at the old lady's that day asking for ginseng. She said that her brother was dying of illness, and he was also a brother Rui."

You Shi said: "Isn't it him! Pity his old man for his age, and because of his thick old face, he goes around to beat the autumn wind. I think it's not easy. We only give it when we find good ginseng. When our uncle came back, he said I was short of it." , forced me to send another two taels. According to me, he is a weak disease, how can he stand up to such a supplement, I am afraid it will be worse."

Baochai thought about that day when she was in the old lady's house, Sister Feng was clearly reluctant, here Youshi was stinging and stinging again and again, talking endlessly, it is true that the so-called leftovers are cold and virtuous, and I advise you not to knock on the door of the rich. !Jia's mother can be regarded as sympathetic to the poor and the elderly, and Jia Zheng also thinks of the kinship of flesh and blood.But Daiyu and Baochai wanted to go together. She was not like Baochai who had seen all kinds of scenes in her past and present lives. She just thought that the up and down rich eyes were really annoying. It would be better if Zensheng asked his father to take him back to live for a while - he couldn't bear Baochai.

Thinking of Baochai, Daiyu rolled her eyes away, and saw Baochai smiling and lowering her eyes thoughtfully.Youshi couldn't see that she knew Baochai, she was obviously just smiling, and she probably thought of something with her.

Thinking of this, Daiyu felt extraordinarily sweet, lowered her head a little, and reached out from under the quilt to shake Baochai's hand.Baochai was held by her fingertips, and she shook her backhand, and smiled at her—this time the smile was much more sincere, and the eyes and eyebrows were full of indescribable tenderness.

Seeing this, Daiyu blushed for some reason, and her smile widened, revealing a mouthful of white glutinous rice teeth. She looked at Baochai in a daze, and hurriedly calmed down, Youshi said calmly: "... a rose The same is true for my son, if he doesn't study well, he will only mess around with his brother. A while ago, he had a fight with someone in the school and cried in front of his brother. His brother didn't care about it and beat him up. Brother, you can’t write two characters of Jia in one stroke, what does it look like! Sister Bao, don’t you think so?”

Baochai hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law said yes, so it must be."

Daiyu laughed again, stroked her face lightly with her finger, and said to her silently: "You have today too."

Only then did Baochai come to her senses, realizing that she had said the wrong thing. Seeing Daiyu laughing at her, she pulled her hand from under the quilt.

Youshi babbled for a while, then got up to say goodbye and went out. As soon as Daiyu saw her go, she immediately stretched out her arms from under the quilt to grab Baochai's hand, and said with a curled lips: "She and the old lady haven't talked enough, and I'm here again." What's the point of us talking about this here!"

Baochai laughed and said: "She doesn't talk to anyone on weekdays, and it's not easy to say these things to the old lady. What's the trouble if you let her talk for a while! - Don't say such things in the future, so many people are Woolen cloth."

Daiyu rolled her eyes and picked Baochai. Baochai knew what she meant, but there were only Qingque, Yinger, Zijuan and Xueyan in front of her, and they were all her own. : "Who knew that a word or two leaked out! Anyway, you should be careful with me in the future, keep all the meanness in your stomach, don't leave any traces."

Daiyu came to tickle her and said, "Who is mean? Who are you saying is mean?"

Baochai couldn't stand her like this—it wasn't that she was ticklish, but she had something on her mind. She didn't want to see her delicate and pretty smile, and she was afraid that one day she would be seduced and give her away, so she immediately begged for mercy, Dai Yu complacently pulled her to untie Jiulianhuan again. Baochai took the time to get up and went outside to look at the medicine. Fang came back and said, "How many times have I undid a set of Jiulianhuan! It's thanks to you that you never get tired of it! You just change it." It's better than this."

Daiyu smiled and took another pair from the side and said, "It's already been changed. Sister Bao knows everything, can't she see it too?"

Seeing her bring a box from the side, Baochai couldn't laugh or cry: "What is it! It's worth taking so much! I don't know what's so good about it. It doesn't bother me after playing it hundreds of times."

Daiyu said: "I just love this, otherwise you would still clap with me."

Baochai said: "No, I will make your hand red later, and blame me for bullying you."

Daiyu was not convinced: "Are you so sure that I can't lose?"

Baochai said coolly, "I'm older than you by how many years, and I'm also physically strong. You said it yourself."

Daiyu snorted through her nose and said: "I won't play with you, I will play with Xueyan, Xueyan, come here, we will solve it."

Unexpectedly, even the youngest Xueyan said: "Girl, let's play another game." After being stared at by Daiyu, she reluctantly came over, and after sitting with her for a while, the chain has been completely untied. .

Baochai just watched and laughed. Daiyu was not very happy, and said, "This thing is so boring, why do you watch it again? I've watched it hundreds of times, thanks to you for not bothering me!"

Baochai smiled and said, "I'm not looking at this, but at you."

Daiyu said: "What's so good about me? It's not that I have two noses and four eyes, but I have so many noses and eyes. You've been watching these for a long time, and you can't get tired of watching them?"

Baochai wanted to say, "I see that you never get tired of it." But when the words came to his lips, he just said, "You don't care if I get tired of watching it. If I get tired of watching it, I will leave naturally."

Daiyu waved her hands and said, "Okay, you hate me again, don't you?"

Baochai hurriedly said: "Don't dare, I just suddenly remembered that I haven't gone to the old lady's place today, so I'll go and sit in that room first, and you can play with the snow geese." In Jiamu's room, Jiamu was wiping the dominoes with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, when she saw Baochai coming and said with a smile, "Young girl Bao came just in time, show me the cards."

Baochai went over to watch her for a while. Mother Jia asked her to touch it twice for herself. She was not feeling lucky, so she replaced it with a smile. Baochai was about to leave. Aunt Xue said, "You also sit next to me for a while Yes, I can't see you all day long, and I have to leave again when I see you."

Baochai laughed and said, "What did Mom say? Don't we see each other every day at home?"

Aunt Xue said: "I came back at night before the lock was locked, and went out after opening the door in the morning. How many times did you tell me I saw you?"

Baochai was embarrassed, so she sat and watched for a while, and came up with random ideas. Aunt Xue was originally a win-win situation. After Baochai came, she poured out several taels of silver and went out, making Mrs. Xing laugh. From ear to ear, Mrs. Wang smiled, and Jia's mother was also very happy. Only Aunt Xue said: "Come on, you are here with me, and your heart is not here. You should go."

When Baochai heard this, he said goodbye to each other and went to look for Daiyu again.

Here Mrs. Xing took a look at Baochai and praised: "Baochai is getting better and better, it's no wonder she was drafted."

Aunt Xue glanced at Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang said, "Baochai is always a good girl."

Jia's mother said: "It's a pity that they are the daughters of other people's families. It would be great if this was my granddaughter—it's reconciled."

Aunt Xue gave the money with a smile, and resigned because she had a headache.Jia Mu didn't force it either, she happily asked Yuanyang to count the numbers and distribute them to the little girls.
