The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Daiyu is young, although she is intelligent, after all, there are many things that you can't feel if you don't experience them personally, and she has been protected by many people in her life, so she has never been wronged at all, so she has a spoiled temper, and she only cares about the morning news Daoxi can die, and now has the idea of ​​being drunk today. Baochai, who has died once, feels that time is precious, and life should be a blessing, because seeing that Daiyu not only does not understand, but also only cares about willful play of petty temper, that is, Naturally gentle, she couldn't help but get angry for a while. In the morning, Zijuan came to persuade her, but she just said with a calm face: "You can do other things, but you can't do big things alone. You are a girl, and you often think about it yourself. Your girl She is young and willful when doing things, you have to remind her, you can't just pamper her."

Baochai said this in a dark way before, but at that time she and Daiyu hadn't seen each other, so they had no position. Now that Zijuan knows about the two of them, Yinger and Qingque know it too. Knowing that, Baochai didn't hide it, and explained it directly to Zijuan. Zijuan saw that although her expression was not strict, she was born with a calm and majestic demeanor. I also thought so in my heart, so not only did I try to persuade Daiyu during the day, but when I saw that Daiyu was still arguing with Baochai in the evening, she even said what she disliked the past for being too close, for fear that Baochai would fall in love again and be angry again. Feeling idle, she interrupted hastily: "Miss, the swallows have come back. This year, the swallows seem to have come back very early."

Daiyu stood up and took a look when she heard the words, and she saw a pair of swallows flying in under the eaves. The two flew up and down, and flew together.When she saw the swallow, she thought of herself and Baochai for some reason, and felt that it would be great if the two of them could follow each other uprightly like this swallow, and work together to benefit Fei Zhile. I complained and forgot about it, so I walked out a few steps without knowing it, and looked around, and saw that the nest on the eaves had been built, and a little swallow hadn't hatched yet.

Baochai also stood out silently, glanced at Yan's Nest, then at the door, and said with emotion: "It's another spring, I remember the year before last, when you were so light." She compared her shoulders , thought for a while, then lowered it a little bit, and put it on her chest, Daiyu gave her a white look, and said: "I'm always so short in your heart, do you look like a little girl who can't grow up?"

Baochai glanced at the swallows in the nest, and said with a faint smile, "I said you were stupid, but you refused to admit it—could there be swallows in the little girl's room to build a nest?"

Daiyu wondered: "You are an anecdote, why does the swallow have to divide people, is it a girl?"

Baochai said solemnly: "Of course the swallows are divided. For example, the little girl's family is not determined. She likes to play a little temper. From time to time she wants to get angry with the bird. She doesn't get up in the morning and doesn't open the curtain to let it go out. Doesn't sleep, always has to light the lamp to annoy it, and always wastes the bird's nest in front of its eyes, do you think the swallow is sad to see it? If it's a big girl's house, it's naturally gentle and considerate, chaste and gracious, always on time, Not tepid and not rash, swallows like this kind of girl the most, not only come by themselves, but also bring their mates, build a nest, give birth to a nest of young swallows, go out for food in the morning, come back to rest at night, the whole family It’s fun, I don’t know how good it is.”

Daiyu blushed, stretched out her hand to poke her and said, "You're talking nonsense again."

Baochai took her by the hand and said, "You are a talented woman, very talented, well educated, how dare I talk nonsense in front of you?"

Daiyu spat softly: "You don't just dare to talk nonsense in front of me? You talk nonsense here all day long! I don't know how much oil you eat a day, it's so slippery that your mouth is shining!"

Baochai laughed and said, "Don't you know what's on my mouth?"

Daiyu shook her hand, walked in, asked Zijuan to serve the meal, and said, "Who am I, I know everything!"

When Baochai saw that she also took a step back, she was overjoyed, and the temper that was left in her stomach at night was blown away by the wind, and it disappeared as if it had been blown away, because she stuck it in her ear and chuckled, "If you don't know , You will know after a taste.”

Daiyu glared at her again, squeezed her chopsticks, and said, "Are there any rules for eating?"

Baochai sat down with a smile, and looked at Daiyu dozens of times during the meal. Although she didn't speak, her eyes seemed to say everything. He gnashed his teeth extraordinarily.

After the two of them had finished eating, Baochai got up to leave. Although Daiyu still had an annoyed look on her face, seeing that she really wanted to leave, she asked again, "What are you doing?"

Baochai said: "Don't you dislike me being with you for too long? I'll go back to Hengwuyuan, and you will be alone. If you want to read a book, or play with them, it's up to you. Just don't sleep too much at night." Night."

Daiyu said: "Then what are you going to do when you go back?" Suddenly remembered, she said again: "It's the end of the month again, and your account has not yet been settled!"

Baochai laughed and said: "You also know that the account has not been settled, so I will naturally settle the account when I go back."

Daiyu said, "If you're too busy, I'll take the old books and let me count them for you."

Baochai said: "There's not much business recently, and the accounts are not complicated. I'll just look at it myself."

Daiyu had completely forgotten how she complained during the day, and when she saw that Baochai was about to leave, she said anxiously, "You...you can bring the things and calculate them here, just like in the past."

Baochai looked at her and said, "I'm here, and you won't be able to read any more books. I'll be really angry when I get up again at night."

Daiyu was blocked by her words, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Then you...will you come tonight?"

Baochai smiled and said, "I'm about to come and see if you've slept, and if you haven't..."

Daiyu interjected, "What can you do if you haven't slept?"

Baochai laughed and said, "I didn't sleep, so I burned all those ten books you hid on the bed frame!"

Daiyu turned pale with fright, and glared at Zijuan, Zijuan shook her head again and again to express that she was not such a villain who betrayed her master and neglected her loyalty. Chai smiled softly, with a look of confidence and wisdom in her hands, she couldn't help snorting from her nostrils to show that she was not afraid of lust.

Baochai just smiled, and went out slowly, only to come back at midnight, thinking that Daiyu had already fallen asleep, but when she came in, she saw Daiyu yawning and leaning on the pillow, listening to Zijuan talking.

When Daiyu saw Baochai coming in, she reached out for the quilt and pulled it. She fell down and got into the bed.

Baochai asked Zijuan, "Why is she losing her temper?"

Zijuan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Miss Bao also said that our girl listened to Miss Bao's words, washed up early and waited for Miss Bao from the beginning of the Hai Dynasty, who knows that she didn't come until now."

Baochai didn't expect this misunderstanding, and was about to argue a few words, when she saw Daiyu peeking half of her head from under the quilt to look at herself, she stopped talking, walked over with a smile, and said, "It's my fault, it's my fault." Come earlier."

Daiyu covered her mouth and yawned, "I'm really sleepy today, so I'll forgive you. Come in quickly, we're going to sleep."

Baochai paused, and said, "I have paved the other end, so I can sleep there at night." She heard Daiyu's words during the day, and although she was distracted by Zijuan, she had already taken her heart deeply. Ashamed of being busy with work these days, Daiyu is too tired to rest, so she decides to move back to Hengwuyuan for now.

Who knows that Daiyu heard that she is not staying here, but when she is still angry, she suddenly said anxiously: "You...you stop!"

Baochai hadn't moved yet, but when she heard the words she looked up again, Daiyu sat up anxiously from the quilt, and when Baochai looked at her, she was speechless again, she lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers for a while, Fang said: "I was wrong, I...will I stop reading in the future? Don't go."

Baochai blinked, took a step closer, and poked Daiyu's face. Daiyu said angrily, "What are you doing?" Then she hurriedly changed her tone and said, "I, I didn't remember it all at once. Cough, you, if you want to poke, just poke it." One more poke, just one poke, but once you poke, you are not allowed to leave."

Baochai chuckled and said, "I won't leave unless you poke me, okay?"

Daiyu looked up at her and saw that she was smiling, she didn't seem angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief, moved her body in, and said, "Come in quickly if you don't want to go."

Baochai sees that she is very attached to her, how can he not like it?He undressed himself, halfway through undressing, and suddenly saw Daiyu standing down on the ground again, and took off her clothes. When Baochai looked at Daiyu, Daiyu only blushed slightly, lowered her head and said, "What am I doing? In the past I did the same for Baoyu."

Baochai didn't see that she only took off the cloak for Baoyu in the past, not the situation that she also took off the beige and the single skirt together. She just smiled and let her change her clothes, and then dragged her into the quilt quickly and said, "In the future, if you If you think I'm bothering you, tell me, I'll just stay there for two days. Now that my brother is back, the business road is closed, and there are few things at home. I don't need your help anymore. You can relax for a few days by yourself. You don't have to suffer so much."

Daiyu said: "You don't want me to take care of it. I prefer to take care of it. I obviously have so much money in your hands, but I can't take it or use it. Yueyue only takes this idea, and I can't even order a dish. It's all because you don't let me take care of it! From now on, I will settle your accounts, and I will ask for four taels a month, no, 20 taels of silver!"

Baochai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she pointed her finger on her head and said, "Obviously you said you didn't want my money, so you didn't even want the bonus. When did I stop giving you money?" With a glance, he hurriedly changed his words: "You live in the garden, what do you need so much money for?"

Daiyu said: "I don't care, I want money! If you don't have money, I will keep you under tight control and be angry all day long."

Baochai smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, okay, as long as you take a good rest and don't mess with yourself, you can spend as much money as you want a month. The bonus you have saved with me now is 620 taels. We discussed buying the land and asked someone to see it, and it costs about 7000 taels, and for the rest, do you want silver notes or gold?"

Daiyu turned around and said, "There are so many?" She took care of many of the family's businesses for Baochai, but she didn't pay much attention to her own livelihood. She never thought that such a small business could make such a fortune in two years.

Baochai laughed and said, "That's not counting the money you gave to Lian's second brother. I don't think the bank may be reliable. It's better to exchange some silver notes, some gold, and some jewellery. You keep it yourself. It's no better than giving money every month." How much better is your pocket money?"

Daiyu said: "You've done a good job! Banknotes, gold, jewelry, which one can be spent directly? In the end, it's still a monthly fee."

Baochai smiled and said nothing.

Daiyu also found excuses to mutter about Baochai, but in fact she didn't really care about the money. Seeing that Baochai didn't say anything, she didn't bother, and said: "Anyway, I will keep my own money. What do I want to buy in the future?" , just buy whatever.”

Baochai said, "It's up to you, it's up to you."

Seeing that she obeyed, Daiyu felt bored again, so she asked her instead: "You went to see Jia Huan during the day, how is he doing? Why did he suddenly get sick? Worship Buddha, make it look like it's going to die?"

Baochai laughed and said, "Fake it! Before I went, I saw him playing with the little girl. When I saw me go, I was so frightened that I rolled onto the bed and lay there pretending to be sick. It wasn't wiped clean."

Daiyu said: "Then why can't the doctor find out the reason?"

Baochai sneered and said: "She sent people to invite some wild men. I heard that they were the young masters of Jia's mansion, and I saw this young man shouting nonsense there. Who dare say that he is not sick! He just opened his mind to talk about Zhongzheng and peace. The warming and tonic prescription, that person only sees it as a tonic, and doesn't care if a good person can take it or not, just ask for good medicine to be poured into her son's stomach. The aunt said that she would invite a familiar and reliable doctor. It was just a commotion there, saying that the big house would not give her a way out, and my aunt got annoyed by the disturbance, so she let her go, and it's not Baoyu anyway."
