The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Baochai was actually not sleepy, she just lay down with her sisters for a while, and then called out one by one: "I slept too much during the day, and I can't sleep at night again. Get up, big guys, come and play."

She pushed Daiyu first, and Daiyu rubbed her eyes to push Tanchun, Tanchun said in a daze, "I'll squint for a while." Daiyu was about to get up, but was held down by Baochai, and said, "You squint too." After a while, get up slowly and feel dizzy."

Tanchun said: "Sister Bao treats Sister Lin very differently, getting up is such a trivial matter."

Baochai laughed and said, "She's not in good health, and she doesn't take herself seriously, so why don't you worry me?" He supported Daiyu with one hand, and when she got up slowly, Tongxi just came over from outside. Seeing them getting up, he said with a smile : "My wife is sending me to see the girls, she said don't let me sleep for too long, go out for a walk, and look at the flowers."

Because the three of them went out, together with Yingchun Xichun, they first went to Jiamu's place to talk to all the elders. Put it on, it's not for fun if it's frozen." He said again: "How about Baoyu in front? Tell him not to drink too much." Aunt Xue asked Tongxi to ask, and asked someone to bring more hand stoves Go: "Look at the uncle and your second master Bao, don't freeze."

Baochai said: "Mom, they are in the house, they can't freeze, but this goose palm is good to give away. I vaguely remember that Brother Bao likes it."

Aunt Xue said: "There is no girl in front, I'm afraid the boys will be careless, so it's better to prepare." In the end, Tongxi was sent away, and a box of side dishes was sent.

Seeing her mother doting on her elder brother, Baochai sighs slightly, but Tanchun and Yingchun whisper to each other, Yingchun looks at Daiyu and smiles.Daiyu felt something in her heart, and when she looked back, she went in if she didn't know, and it was hard to ask. As soon as she went out, she would call Baochai to stop, and said: "The old lady just said to put on the cloak, you are so big." La went out, and within two days after recovering from the illness, he froze again."

When she said this, both Yingchun and Tanchun burst into laughter, Daiyu had no choice but to let Zijuan put on her big clothes, and said in a soft voice: "It's easy to get sick when you sweat when it's hot."

Baochai ignored her, watched them put on big clothes one by one, and Fang led all the sisters out.

Because it was early spring, many new shoots had sprouted, and the grass in the yard grew fluffy, tender and tender, and it was really cute. Tanchun and Yingchun were chirping together, Xichun was led by the nanny, and Baochai was with Daiyu. , Daiyu saw that it was Huachao again, she sighed quietly, and Baochai said, "Are you homesick?"

Daiyu shook her head, but said: "In the past, my mother took me every year during the flower court."

Seeing her bowing her head and wanting to cry, Baochai quickly took her by the hand and said, "This year you have old ladies, wives, and many sisters and me. Don't cry, it will hurt your health."

Daiyu didn't say much anymore, and Baochai was afraid that she would be bored, so he took her by the hand and walked slowly around, telling her about the trees and flowers in the courtyard one by one: "This plant was originally there. This plant was originally a crabapple, but it was removed, and my mother asked someone to plant a new hibiscus..."

Daiyu listened to her quietly, without interrupting. Baochai took her all the way, and when she saw the sadness on her face faded, Fang took her to look for Yingchun and the others. The one was still here, Tanchun saw them from afar and said: "My wife still asked about it, she said it was getting late, and told us to go back earlier for dinner."

Baochai said, "Why don't we use it here?"

Tanchun said: "The old lady has been out for a long time, and she is a little tired. She wants to go back first, so the eldest wife followed and told us to go back too."

Baochai said to Daiyu, "Then you go back first." Then he said, "Go out for a walk more often on weekdays, don't be bored in the room, if you have anything to do, just ask the girl to send a letter to me, or you can come by yourself. I don't have any major problems anyway, I'm here."

Daiyu nodded, and walked away with Yingchun and others. When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she turned her head again.

On this day, because of Baoyu's presence, Xue Pan's mother and sister repeatedly urged him to restrain himself and just drink and have fun, and he left early. He went in to see his mother for a while and asked, "how is your mother playing today? I think we can eat here." It’s quite different from ours, I asked them, and they said there is a good Nandian in Songhe Tower, let’s order a table of dishes some other day, and invite my mother and sister to taste.”

Aunt Xue said: "There is a cook at home, why go out to make a fuss? You really love me, I wish I could study at home for two days, and don't go out to mess around."

When Xue Pan heard that he was asked to study, his forehead seemed to be strangled like a curse, and he said with a calm smile: "I think it's cold these days, so that I can ask you to rest for two days. This is also my sincerity as a student."

Baochai said: "My brother is right. It's cold in winter, sleepy in spring, hot in summer, and dry in autumn. Throughout the year, there is no day to study. It's better to send the husband away earlier."

Xue Pan smiled and said, "Sister is right, this is the best."

Seeing that he couldn't even hear this, Aunt Xue gave him a glare and said, "You have a good idea! You are not allowed to go out tomorrow, so you can study a few words at home. You are not asked to take the number one prize, but just recognize a few more words." Just fine."

Xue Pan scolded her, and rubbed his head resentfully, but Baochai said in a harmonious voice, "Mother, don't say that. I saw that my brother studied very quickly last time. It's just that he doesn't want to work hard. If my brother is willing If you work hard, you may not fail the exam, brother, don’t you think so?”

Xue Pan sneered and said, "That's not entirely true."

Baochai said again: "I heard that there is a Liu named Xianglian outside?"

Xue Pan stared and said, "Your girl's family, how do you know the name outside?"

Baochai said, "I just heard about it when someone came to report me."

Xue Pan said: "Then what's the matter, my daughter's house, what's the point of asking the name of the man outside?"

Baochai said: "Actually, I had a dream the day before yesterday. I dreamed that my brother was in danger and was rescued by a man named Liu Xianglian. It was not a big deal at first, but I heard that there was such a person today, so I wrote it down."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue hurriedly said: "Since that's the case, Pan'er, you need to interact with people more. Dreaming is sometimes very accurate. Even if it's not, it's always good if you treat people politely."

Xue Pan didn't like Liu Xianglian's temper very much at first, but his mother and younger sister urged him repeatedly, but he had no choice but to obey, rushed in excitedly, and went out sullenly, how filial he was, and stayed at home for a few more days.

Baochai was afraid that he would be impatient, so she asked her mother to pick out a few simple things for Xue Pan to do, and asked Xue Pan to do it on the pretense that her mother didn't understand. Xue Pan saw that it was a family matter. , but also caring, also calculated a few pages of accounts, wrote a few posts, it can be regarded as a few days at home to fool around.

Baoyu recognized a Qin Zhong and a Liu Xianglian. Fang felt that there were so many men in time, and he was a frog at the bottom of a well.Because she came back and talked to Daiyu in detail, Daiyu laughed at him and said: "You only have a few people in your family, how many men do you usually meet? You think you are amazing, but now you see outsiders, do you know that there is a sky beyond the sky? "

Baoyu said: "That's right. I've only seen so many people. There are already two outstanding ones. The world is so big that I don't know how many wonderful people and great things there are." Yu Pian said: "So your usual talk about men and daughters can be put away. You say that men are turbid because you see only turbid people, and you say that daughters are pure because you are pure." All you see are Qing people."

Baoyu sighed and shook his head in silence.

Seeing that he seemed to be enlightened but not enlightened, Daiyu didn't urge him, but just took a cup of tea and sipped it.The tea was too weak, and I was about to ask Zijuan to change a cup. Seeing her turn her head, Zijuan smiled and said, "Miss Bao just told you not to drink strong tea. You can't sleep well at night, and you can't drink it during the day." Spirit."

Daiyu didn't speak at all, Baoyu said: "I come here every day, but I want to hear you say 'Bao girl' twenty times. When will Sister Bao be so close to you? She is in charge of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Like."

Daiyu said slightly displeased: "I am me, she is her, why is she in charge of me?" Putting the cup away, Zijuan glanced at her and said, "It's my fault, then I'll change the cup for the girl." .” Reaching for the cup, Daiyu said again: “It’s so late, stop drinking and go to bed.”

Then he sent Baoyu out. Baoyu was bored and went away by himself.

Seeing Baoyu go out, Daiyu picked up the cup again, put it to her mouth and took it away, and asked Zijuan, "Zijuan, why do you say sister Bao treats me so affectionately?"

Zijuan said: "Don't you like Miss Bao?"

Daiyu lowered her head and said, "What do you mean?"

Zijuan said: "Young lady likes Miss Bao, and she cherishes each other with Miss Bao, so it is natural for her to keep in touch with each other all the time. Isn't it a matter of course that my daughter's family is intimate, and she doesn't commune with men? What's so strange?"

After hearing this, Daiyu put the cup down and said, "I'm asleep."

Zijuan smiled, and while serving her to settle down, she persuaded: "Now everyone is in one place, and it is convenient to talk and communicate. In the future, when the girl and Bao girl get married, they will not be able to communicate like this now, or even marry far away. I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other in this lifetime, if you don't take advantage of the present to get close to Miss Bao, you won't be able to get close if you want to."

Daiyu had never thought about such a long-term future. When she said it, she suddenly felt a sense of boredom in her heart. She just pressed the quilt on her head and said sullenly, "I'm asleep."
