The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

But since we parted in the morning, Baochai didn't say anything about missing her here, but Daiyu was also restless. After lunch, she joked with some sisters outside Jia's mother, and even talked about Yingchun. Like a gourd with its mouth sawn off, without saying a word, Xichun was the youngest, so he pinched her face with his hands and said, "Sister Lin, what happened today? She's listless."

Yingchun said: "I'm afraid I'm tired."

Tanchun smiled and said: "I don't think I'm tired, but I'm thinking about Sister Bao." Then he deliberately said: "Sister Lin and Sister Bao are stuck together all day, and every time I want to find you, you have to be free. My sister is gone, and I can be with you, and you don't talk anymore, we are sisters, and we treat each other like heaven and earth."

Daiyu didn't know whether she was really annoyed or not, so she hurriedly said, "We are all sisters, but we live close together, so we see each other more often, so there is no difference, don't talk nonsense."

This was so bad that even Yingchun came to tease her and said: "It turns out that we are no different from Sister Bao, so I also want Sister Tuolin to make a purse, and I also want you to read a few lines of poems to me every morning. Go sit in the old lady's room, and sleep in sister Lin's room at night."

Daiyu listened to You Ke before, and when she heard the last sentence, her face turned red and she said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about all day long? You are a sister, don't set an example in front of your sisters."

Tanchun said with a smile: "It's a big deal. Sister Lin has put up her sister's airs. If you say sister, Sister Bao is the biggest sister. We just want to learn from her." Calling Xichun and Yingchun to help, Xichun had already slipped into Daiyu's arms with a big smile, Yingchun stood beside her and pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that Daiyu was about to escape, she made a stop so lightly that Daiyu couldn't leave. Being scratched repeatedly by Tanchun and Xichun, one behind the other, begging for mercy.

Tanchun and the others didn't stop until Jia's mother had a lunch break. Daiyu came out in a hurry, her temples were all messed up, and she didn't have the heart to tidy up. She sat in the room once, thinking about Baochai, and then thinking about her father. Thinking of Xue Pan, Xue Pan thinking of Baoyu, and Baoyu thinking of Jia's mansion again, I can't help feeling worried-Baochai lived with Baoyu for a lifetime, so I still believe in Baoyu's literary talent and character, Daiyu took Baoyu and Baoyu Chai made a comparison, but felt that he was really unreliable. Because he had called Zijuan, he told him, "You don't need to be on duty these few days. You can go home at night. If someone comes from your family, come back to me immediately. If not , you can ask your brother to go to the mansion by himself."

Zijuan deliberately said: "Miss, I really don't understand what you said. People come to my house every day. Who is the girl talking about? My brother is going to that house, and which house is that house?"

Daiyu stomped her feet and said, "Even you come to make fun of me!"

Zijuan said with a smile: "I dare not make fun of the girl. I am laughing at Miss Bao. I haven't seen the girl all day. I don't know how anxious she is now. I'm afraid the messenger at my door will discharge a line." off the street."

Daiyu glanced at her, and Zijuan saw that she was really ashamed, so she let her go. Daiyu took another piece of silver to reward her brother, and told her to take it out quietly.Zicuckoo refused to accept her resignation and ran out all the way.

Daiyu sat there with nothing to do, so she went to Baoyu's place, and when she entered the yard, she heard the little girl talking, saying that Baoyu "doesn't know what evil has fallen into her, she just reads books day and night, and when she sees those books, she will burn them and tear them up." Now, these broken books are actually closer than those girls."

Daiyu nodded slightly when she heard this, and went into the room, and she saw Baoyu reciting the book. In the past, when he dealt with Jia Zheng, he wished that the whole house would know when he read the book. With both eyes and mouth muttering words, I didn't even see Daiyu coming in.

Daiyu is not to be disturbed, and was about to go out when the attacker grabbed her and said, "Miss, persuade our master."

Daiyu saw Xiren, Qianxue, Qiuwen and Sheyue surrounded by four big girls. She was surprised and said, "What's the matter?" Then she asked, "Why are you guys, where is Qingwen?"

Sheyue whispered: "It's not our ancestor grandpa! When you don't study hard, you won't write a word on the big board, but when you use it, you don't want to die. For more than ten days, day and night Endorsement, except for the old lady and his wife, we have never left the door. We were afraid that he would hurt himself, so we persuaded him a few words, but he scolded me back, and Qingwen cried like something. Lying on the bed."

Daiyu said: "It's a good thing that he is willing to make progress. Don't you always persuade him?"

Xi Ren said: "It's a good thing to make progress, but it's too obsessed to do so! What if you are like Master Zhu..." She stopped talking, and the circles of her eyes gradually turned red, Musk Moon hurriedly said: "Old ladies and wives are busy. Regarding the matter of the empress, there is no elder in the house to take care of him. We think that he is willing to listen to what Miss Lin says on weekdays, so I beg the girl to persuade him, even if he rests for an hour a day, it is better than working so hard every day. good."

Daiyu nodded, then turned back, went around behind Baoyu, and tore at Baoyu's book, but Baoyu was so engrossed that she didn't grab it, and a copy of "Four Books Collection" was torn in half. Yu, in a fit of rage, pushed Daiyu staggeringly. When she saw it was Daiyu, she was so frightened that she hurriedly wanted to call for someone, but Daiyu stopped her with a wave of her hand. The attackers came earlier to help Daiyu Slowly standing still, Daiyu waited for a while before saying: "You are said to be an idiot, you are really an idiot, do you think you can win the exam by studying dead books behind closed doors? What you want to test is essays, not Mingjing. No matter how good you memorize the book, if you can’t write the article, you’re still blind!”

Baoyu said: "I... I just think it's sad not to study."

Daiyu saw that his eye sockets were sunken, his eyes were blue and black, and that he had lost a lot of weight compared to before, so she softened her words when she spoke again, and said: "We all know that you want to make progress, but there are also people who make progress. The solution is not to just study blindly. I advise you to go to the ethnology school. If you think the grandfather is not there, it is better to ask the master to hire a gentleman for you, it is better than you being bored here alone. "

Why doesn't Baoyu know the truth of what she said?It's just because I was sad when I heard Baochai's speech, and I only sent him to study. When Daiyu said it, he bowed his head and said, "I'll save it. After a few days, when the master is free, I will go and tell him. I'm still here first." Just memorize the Four Books at home."

Daiyu said sternly: "You study is a big deal. No matter how busy the master is, he is free. You might as well tell him earlier. He will make plans for you earlier, so you can enroll earlier. In fact, Li Ji Restaurant's family style is very strict." , if you can go to his house to attach a school, then ask my father to give pointers, within a few games, you can always go to high school - but you still cherish yourself, don't be like your brother, who is determined to cheer up, unable to recover .”

Baoyu could listen to her words, and she was taken care of by the maids to rest.Daiyu watched Baoyu fall asleep on the bed, and was sent out by the attackers with great gratitude. After returning to the house, she felt that Baoyu was unworthy. Harmonious, he missed Baochai more and more, sat alone in front of the window, and didn't go to sleep until late.

As soon as Zijuan came in the next day, Daiyu rushed her and asked, "Is anyone at your house?"

Zijuan opened the bag with a smile, Daiyu saw that there was a bird's nest in it, and immediately put on a face. When she saw pickled vegetables and radishes, Fang became happy, and said on her face, "Is that all?"

Zijuan said: "People from my family said that what the girl wants in the future, she doesn't have to go to our house, just go from there. Miss Bao has prepared a mule to run errands for the girl."

Daiyu laughed more and more, and left a sentence: "She has a conscience."

Because Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang were busy entering the palace for more than ten days in a row, although Baochai kept pushing, Aunt Xue did not come here by car to visit the sisters until after the winter solstice. Daiyu had already got it from Zijuan. In the early morning, they dressed up and sat in the Baosha where Sanchun lived. The three sisters were all surprised to see her so enthusiastic, and they were all relieved when Baochai came in a hurry.

When Baochai saw Daiyu, his eyes were fixed on her, and the corner of his mouth unconsciously smiled, but he said to Tanchun, "How is the third sister? I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much."

Tan Chun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if I'm good or not, as long as Sister Lin is good."

One sentence made both Baochai and Daiyu blush. Afraid of traces, they sat far away, but they didn't know that this made the three sisters notice them more and more, and they couldn't stop joking about her until Xue My aunt was leaving, but she had never been alone with her, so Baochai couldn't be more anxious, so she pushed out Gong in a panic, and turned outside. Daiyu hurriedly said that she was dizzy and wanted to go back, so she turned around, and the two met by Gong's barrel. Without saying a word, Baochai hugged her first, and Baochai couldn't care less about being more intimate, so she hurriedly said to Daiyu: "In those few days, I only cared about liking you, and forgot to talk about serious things. I thought about it a little bit." There are many ways, you can see if it is suitable or not."

Daiyu also said, "I've been thinking about it for the past few days, and I have a lot to say to you."
