The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Because of Baoyu's affairs, Jia's mother said that she would take Baoyu back early, and Mrs. Wang would accompany her. Jia's mother said, "I'm too old to stand up. It's rare for you to come out for a day. Why bother to go back so early for me?" ?” He refused, and ordered Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen to keep it.

Mrs. Xing was eager to stay, so she agreed and sent Jiamu out to watch a play.But Daiyu also said that she was unwell and wanted to go back with Jiamu.When Jia Mu saw that she was not in good spirits, she asked herself, the maids and women in front of her and Wang Momo to protect her and get into the car.

There was another Jia Zhen drinking outside and asking, "Where's Rong'er?"

The boys said: "I just saw that I went inside."

Jia Zhen said angrily: "His father hasn't gone in to rest yet, but he will enjoy the blessing! Go and call him!" While talking, I saw Jia Rong and Jia Qiang running over in a panic, with all their temple hair scattered. Qiang's clothes were still open, and Jia Zhen shouted: "Stop!" and scolded: "You bastard with no eyes! The old lady is here, don't you know how to greet her?"

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Jia Mu, and then kowtowed to Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, and Jia Lian Baoyu. Seeing that they didn't look like each other, Jia Zheng frowned. "Look at yourselves, you still look like young masters!" When they were about to beat and scold, because of Jiamu's presence, they just said angrily, "Go back and deal with you!"

Jia Mu said: "They are children, don't be too harsh." Jia Zhen scolded them all the way and asked them to lead horses to escort Jia Mu. The children guarded the carriage and went back.

When Baoyu bent down to get into the car, she saw Jia Lian asked the two people with a strange smile on her face, and stomped her feet back into the car. Daiyu asked him, "What's the matter?"

Baoyu shook his head and said, "It's nothing." But he lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw three people whispering, Jia Lian's face was teasing, but Jia Rong and Jia Qiang evaded, sighed, and was tapped on the forehead by Daiyu Said: "You are clearly not sick just now, why do you have to pretend to be sick?"

Baoyu begged for forgiveness and said, "My dear sister, it's a shameful thing anyway, so don't ask me."

Seeing his panicked expression, Daiyu even uttered the words "shameful", she only thought that he was suffering from some kind of strange disease, so she couldn't force him anymore, she just sat and thought about Baochai, and the two of them had nothing to do the whole way. talk.

When Jia Mu's car drove back to the mansion, all the chariots and horses in the mansion had not yet left the city, and if they met on the way, they would have to make a lot of trouble.

When she entered the door, Mother Jia wanted to invite someone to come and see her. Baoyu hurriedly agreed.

Daiyu missed Baochai, and when Jiamu was taking a nap, she ordered the maids not to tell Jiamu. She took two snow geese and walked quietly to Lixiangyuan. Stepping inside quickly, Baochai was lying on the bed upright, her complexion was fine, but there were a few red spots on her face, and when she touched her forehead, she felt a little hot, maybe it was due to the wind.

Daiyu got up and looked around, only found a little girl who was guarding the door, and asked softly, "Where is he?"

The little girl said: "Miss is taking a nap, don't let anyone be around, they all dispersed."

Daiyu's expression was disconsolate, so she told her to fetch water, twisted the handkerchief herself, wiped it for Baochai, lifted the brocade quilt a little, pressed her shoulder, was also sweating profusely, and gently pulled her arm out. Wipe half of it, and then switch to the other side. Baochai was half asleep and half awake, and seemed to be muttering something, but Daiyu didn't listen to it, but slowly wiped off her sweat. Baochai suddenly called out in her dream: "Baoyu." Daiyu paused Baochai frowned and called again: "Baoyu." Daiyu felt the handkerchief in her hand suddenly become heavy, she bit her lower lip, Mumu wiped Baochai's hands and feet, and only then dropped her things when she heard footsteps. , went out from behind.

Baochai opened her eyes in a daze when Qingque came with the little girl bringing the medicine, Qingque hurriedly helped her up, Baochai took a sip of the medicine and said, "I vaguely feel that someone has been here."

Qingque said: "I just went to see the medicine. After a while, I didn't see anyone coming."

Baochai nodded, feeling better, and asked, "Where is the hairpin?"

Qingque said: "The old lady went to offer incense today, and she must have gone to the family temple with her."

Baochai said sadly, "That's fine." Naturally, that kiss was as unremarkable to Daiyu as a claw in snow and mud, but to her it was an earth-shattering event.Not only that night, but also in the next few days, she was always in a trance, and she couldn't even keep the accounts, and handed them all over to the outside stewards to deal with them hastily. Come, fortunately this time the condition is not serious, just lie down in the room and take some prescriptions.However, she has only cultivated better, and a new symptom is added: as soon as Baochai falls asleep, she dreams of the past, especially the place where Baoyu and Daiyu have a good relationship and are in love with each other. They had to go through them in real life before her eyes, and Baochai couldn't tell whether these things happened in real life or in her own imagination, the only thing she knew was that these dreams made her very unhappy.The feeling of having something stuck in her heart and being unable to swallow and vomit was so disgusting that she would frown even thinking about it after waking up from the dream.

After Baochai drank the medicine, she got up and walked around the yard slowly. It was deserted in winter, even Aunt Xue was not there, and there was no decoration in the yard except for a few fallen leaves. Looking at it naked was even more disturbing.

Qing Que looked at her thoughts and said, "Why don't you go for a walk in the garden, maybe someone came back first."

Baochai said: "I'm so eager to go out, it's so fast!" Qingque and Ying'er persuaded her not to be bored in her yard, Baochai thought for a while, and said, "Let me go to the garden and have a look. "He raised his foot to enter the door, but walked to the door of Daiyu's house by a strange coincidence, and was overjoyed to see all the girls there. Thinking that the heat and poison on his face had not faded, he hurriedly turned around to leave, but was stopped again——Daiyu was standing there. I was feeding the birds on the outer porch, and when I saw Baochai coming, I raised my voice and laughed, "Why did Sister Bao think of coming to me?"

Baochai heard that her voice was wrong, so she raised her eyes to look at her, and Daiyu wrapped some coarse grains in a handkerchief to feed Ah Dia, but refused to look this way.

Baochai smiled and said, "I felt dizzy after lying down for a long time, so I went out for a walk, and somehow I came to you."

Daiyu said: "It turned out that I came here somehow. I thought I heard the news at the door and came here specially."

Baochai said, "How did I know you were back?"

Daiyu said, "Oh, so you didn't know it was 'we' who came back."

Baochai frowned and said, "I mean, you and Zijuan, who else has come back?" Then she asked, and seeing Qingwen coming out beside her and assigning a little girl to fetch the medicine, she said, "Baoyu is back too? "

Daiyu flicked the handkerchief, and the coarse grains wrapped in it fell all over the ground, and the beetle pecked at it. With a chain tied to her leg, she couldn't fly down, so anxious that she flapped her wings in the air and screamed.

Baoyu came out from the inside and said, "You've bullied Ah Ding again, give it to me as soon as possible, and just make a pair with mine—Sister Bao?"

Baochai smiled at Baoyu, and Daiyu was even more unhappy seeing her, so she went into the house with her hands shaken. When Baochai saw her, she didn't know why she was angry, and was about to go in, but Baoyu only thought that she was blaming her, so she hurried in. Said: "Good sister, it's really nothing, you don't know, it's much better than knowing."

Baochai stopped and stood on the ground, thinking of her previous life and the scene in her dream, filled with soreness, and finally did not call Daiyu again, but went back slowly by herself.

Daiyu saw that it was Baoyu who followed in, and asked Xueyan, "where is she?"

Xueyan said: "Who is the girl asking?"

Daiyu stumbled, and walked quickly to the door, only to see Baochai supporting the lonely back of the girl, she opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, teardrops poured out, quickly soaking the front of her clothes .
