The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Aunt Zhao grabbed the paper figurine, thought for a while, and then suddenly said: "You said that Baoyu didn't make much progress in the past, but suddenly he loves reading. It seems that a noble person is helping him."

Ma Daopo smiled and said: "Second Master Bao's nobleman, if you don't think about it, it must be Miss Xue!"

Aunt Zhao also guessed the same in her heart. Seeing that Ma Daopo said the same thing, she became more and more sure: "Yes, I often listen to those people inside. Baoyu is not listened to by others, but she is willing to listen to Baoyu, and Baoyu is still willing to listen. I ran to find her a few times, sat and talked with her, and after coming out, I was always very energetic, and a few days ago when I Huaner accidentally burned him, it was Miss Xue who called out to spare him the pain!"

Ma Daopo said: "I think Miss Xue is a prosperous face, and it is good to get close to her. I think what the wife means is that she intends to let them be together. If this is the case, Baoyu will be even worse." It’s going to prosper, so if you want to do something, you have to do it early.”

She was just talking nonsense, Aunt Zhao was a ignorant person, she just took it as the truth, she quickly agreed, and put away all the things carefully.

It turned out that because Jia Huan was asleep, the two of them did not avoid him when they were talking. Unexpectedly, Jia Huan felt pain in the middle of sleeping and was vaguely waking up. Listen carefully, after Ma Daopo left, when Aunt Zhao came to cover him with a quilt, she got up and said with a grin, "Why don't Auntie want more paper figurines?"

Aunt Zhao didn't prevent her son from getting up, and saw that he had heard him again. She hurriedly booed, and said in a low voice: "The two of them are the chief culprits, and the others have no enmity with us. Why curse them? Besides, the two papers People have already spent so much money, plus, wouldn't it be more! Besides, this is to try her skill first, if it really works, you will be the young master of this family. When you have money, how much will it cost? Is there a paper man?"

Jia Huan rolled his eyes and said: "She is only doing tricks on paper figures anyway, we can cut a paper figure ourselves and try it out and it won't do any harm."

Aunt Zhao saw that he was thinking about it, but just wanted to curse one more person, so she couldn't help asking: "Who did you end up with again?"

Jia Huan said: "It's not about enmity. I just heard what you said about nobles and prosperity. I dare to bring Baoyu to the surname Xue! She is the wife's niece. She can't get along with us anyway. Why don't you just connect with us?" She is dead, so as not to leave any hope for the other side!"

Aunt Zhao hesitated and said: "Miss Bao has always been nice to us, we have always had a share of anything..."

Jia Huan said: "It's just a random try, and it probably won't work." Seeing that Aunt Zhao was still hesitant, she said, "Is your son and your wealth important, or is she important?"

Aunt Zhao heard that she had no choice but to cut a paper figurine and five little ghosts as they were, and put them away together - Ma Daopo didn't bring any delicate objects, so she was quick to learn, but she didn't know when Baochai was. , I had to go to Hengwuyuan to inquire.

It happened that day that Baochai was out, and Daiyu was cleaning her room for her. Suddenly she saw Aunt Zhao coming to chat with the maids, and she never left Baochai. If you have no relationship, why do you suddenly think of Sister Bao? You go talk to her and see what she wants to do."

After getting the instructions, Zijuan pretended to go out to chat with Baochai's girl, but instead came to tell Aunt Zhao that she wanted Baochai's birth date after a few questions. Zijuan came over in a hurry and reported to Daiyu one by one. Daiyu lowered her head and thought about it, and suddenly became angry, and hurriedly asked someone to invite Baochai.

Baochai is sitting at Ping'er's place - since Jia Lian met Sister Feng that day, he started to think again, and even put Qiutong aside. At this time, it is necessary to cheer up and deal with him.She was originally a character like a fairy concubine, but she deliberately flattered Jia Lian's heart gradually, and she was lingering for a while, but she was unlucky, so Ma Yingniang stayed silent for a while, and suddenly One day I reported asking for a doctor, and she went straight to Mrs. Xing to report it. Sister Feng was too late to stop her. When she heard the news, the doctor had already come and left, leaving a sentence of "you are happy", which made Jia Lian so happy from ear to ear. Early in the morning, I went to Ma Yingniang's place again, asking her about her health, and she was too busy.

Sister Feng was so angry that she was dizzy, and she fell ill in the room because of phlegm the day before yesterday.Then Ma Yingniang took the opportunity to make trouble, and sent people to ask Sister Feng for things like flowing water. Seeing that it was not a matter, Ping'er stopped all the people from Ma Yingniang's place, so as not to disturb Sister Feng, so Baochai went to visit. entertained by her.

Because Baochai hinted that Aunt Zhao and Ma Yingniang would join forces to fight against Sister Feng, she was a little guilty. She was quite concerned about Sister Feng's illness. After watching her, she asked about the symptoms carefully, and said that there were some medicines in the family medicine shop that could not be bought outside. It is much better to send someone to fetch the good medicinal materials that you have arrived than to buy them temporarily.

Seeing her thoughtfulness, Ping'er was very grateful, and kept the money for hospitality, but before the little girls had finished serving the refreshments, Zijuan came all the way and said: "Our girl has something important, please go back and talk to Miss Bao."

Baochai hurriedly asked: "Dai... what's wrong with the hairpin? Is it pain in the heart again? Or dizziness again?"

Zijuan didn't answer, but said: "Miss Bao has gone, and you will know what's going on."

Baochai hastily resigned from Ping'er, and followed her all the way to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where she saw Daiyu sitting there in good order. She breathed a sigh of relief, then saw her frowning, so she reached out to caress her eyebrows and said, "Yes." Did you read some books again, or did you have a nightmare during your lunch break?"

Daiyu shook her head and said seriously, "Aunt Zhao asked me about your birth date."

Baochai was startled, and said, "What?"

Daiyu said it again, and took her hand and said: "You said that at this time in the previous life, both Baoyu and Sister Feng were in a daze for a while? Did Ma Daopo come here at that time?"

Baochai immediately understood what she meant, and said with a frown: "It was almost the same at that time as now—do you suspect that she has two Baoyus in the nightmare town?"

Daiyu said: "I'm afraid she will not only miss those two, but also miss you!"

Baochai laughed and said, "I have no grievances or enmities with her. Why is she cursing me?"

Daiyu said angrily: "A person like her, who knows what can be done!"

Baochai laughed and said, "You just sent someone to call me, just for this matter?"

Daiyu said: "Such an important matter, isn't it worth calling you back?"

Baochai said: "Who said that ghosts and gods were hard to believe, and now they are serious about it?" Seeing Daiyu staring at her, she hurriedly said, "If she really wants to curse I, I'm outside, and here, isn't it the same? Why do you bother so much?"

Daiyu stomped her feet and said, "How can it be the same? I always feel at ease when I see you with my own eyes. If something happens to you, there will always be someone to take care of you——Bah, I have strictly ordered them not to say anything about you It is not allowed to take hair, cups, nails and other things outside, and the things to ward off evil spirits are also prepared, you just stay at ease and avoid the limelight."

Hearing her words, Baochai clearly sounded like her own family, so she couldn't help hugging her and kissing her, then smiled and said: "I have an idea..." Before she could speak, Daiyu covered her mouth and said: " Don't say it!" Baochai smiled and put her arm down, wrapped her whole body in his arms, and said, "You didn't even hear me."

Dai Yubai said to her: "You just want to play tricks, let me tell you, don't think about it!"

Baochai laughed and said, "You are so smart, why can't you see it? No matter whether she is effective or not, I only tell her a wrong time, what can she do to me?"

Daiyu snorted coldly and said, "Her son is the second uncle's own son. He has grown up to such a big age, he is healthy and healthy, and the second uncle's heirs are weak... No matter how hard you find evidence, can you ask someone to kill your own son?" ? Why bother to take this risk again!"

Baochai shook her head and laughed, "Say you're an idiot, you're really an idiot. Don't tell me that if we don't tell you, no one in the whole garden will know my hour? I'm too late. Mom has asked someone to match my horoscope several times. , Even the old lady and the wife have remembered it, I don't believe she can't find out."

Daiyu said anxiously: "Then I'll go back to the old lady and arrest this Zhao!"

Baochai hugged her and said with a smile: "There is no proof, what's the use of you going?" Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were red, she hurriedly wiped away her tears and coaxed softly, "My dear, this is a good time for you." There's nothing wrong, why are you already crying? Don't cry, don't cry, crying hurts your eyes."

Daiyu blinked her eyes and wiped back her tears, Baochai held her in his arms and made a vow, repeating that a monk came to rescue her not long ago in the previous life, and also said that she could borrow Baoyu's jade, and it was so easy to get it Daiyu agreed, and then called in a few maids to give some instructions quietly.
