[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Recently, Bao Cong often feels very tired, and he feels drowsy every now and then.

He is really too busy. He had to rush to complete the map of the capital before, but now he goes to the Ministry of War to teach students how to draw accurate maps every day.When she is resting, she is not dealing with housework, or going to women's home school with Lin Daiyu to take classes, and she has to find time to carve huge stones in the illusion...

There is no free time!

Xu Shi was in the illusion, and his energy was doubled. Bao Cong couldn't take it anymore, so he fell headfirst while holding the awl.Fortunately, the illusion is spiritual, and it didn't break Bao Cong's arms and legs, but caused him to hit a light bump on his forehead.

This time, Bao Cong didn't dare to take it lightly, and quickly came out of the illusion, yawned and went back to the house, deciding to catch up on sleep.

When he was in a sound sleep, he might feel that someone came in gently, stuffed him with a quilt, and lowered the curtain.

Bao Cong only moved his heavy eyelids, but did not wake up.

Suddenly, someone outside the curtain whispered softly: "Grandma, if you want to, just talk to the third master. What's so embarrassing?"

Another person said: "What should I say? How can anyone... say this? Besides, he is doing it for my own good."

Hearing the voices of Zijuan and Lin Daiyu, although Bao Cong couldn't wake up, his ears were pricked up, trying to hear their conversation clearly.

Sure enough, Zijuan said again: "What's wrong with the couple? This matter is justified, and the third master is not someone who would make fun of you. At the beginning, he said that because he saw that you were not in good health, but now he doesn't It's the same."

After being silent for a while, Lin Daiyu still said shyly: "How can you open your mouth? I, I can't say it."

"Since grandma can't say it, why don't I tell the third master quietly, so you don't have to bother about it. Okay?"

Lin Daiyu was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "You must! You, you must not talk about it! If you want to talk about it, I, I will ignore you again!"

"Hey!" Zijuan had no choice but to coax her: "I won't say it, don't worry, I won't say it."

The two lowered their voices and talked softly for a while, Bao Cong gradually couldn't hear clearly, but kept in mind, what exactly did Lin Daiyu want to say?When he wakes up, he must ask clearly.

Unable to overcome the drowsiness, Bao Cong finally fell asleep in a daze.

It was already the second day when I woke up.

Bao Cong was busy going to the Ministry of War, so he kept the matter of Lin Daiyu in his heart for the time being, but took a sneak peek at her face early in the morning, and was really a little unhappy.

I didn't expect that he would ignore Lin Daiyu to such an extent when he was busy during this period, and he didn't even notice that she was unhappy for many days.

After going out, Dong Ming followed behind attentively, and Bao Cong casually asked, "What's wrong with your grandma recently, do you know?"

Dong Ming was stunned for a moment. How could he know what happened to the mistress as a servant who waited on the master to go out?

But his sister Qiu'er was serving Lin Daiyu, so maybe the third master wanted to know something from her sister.

So, Dongming carefully recalled what his sister said when chatting with him, hesitantly said: "I heard that my wife often asks grandma if she has any good news, maybe grandma is a little unhappy about this?"

Dong Ming didn't have much confidence in what he said. He didn't serve Lin Daiyu after all. How could a big man know about the inner house?

On the contrary, Bao Cong pondered on his own and thought it was possible.

Lin Daiyu doesn't have to worry about food, drink, clothing and housing. She recently started a women's family school and is very busy.The only thing that could be unhappy was in front of Madam Wang.

Mrs. Wang's words are all old calendars.Before he was not in the capital, she might have mentioned it less, but now that he has returned to the capital, no wonder she mentioned it to Lin Daiyu again.

I really have nothing to do!Why didn't Baoyu return to Beijing?

While Bao Cong was muttering and cursing inwardly, he was thinking about buying something to coax Lin Daiyu later.

Sweet and not greasy pastries, high-quality brush and ink, exquisite jewelry, and new fabrics from the south of the Yangtze River... Bao Cong came home with a bunch of things. Lin Daiyu looked fresh and asked him: "Today is What a good day? You think of buying these?"

Bao Cong smiled: "Seeing that you are unhappy recently, I bought it to coax you."

Lin Daiyu was looking at the pile of things, but when she heard what Baocong said, she put it down and said proudly, "I'm actually a layman, and I'm happy when I see gold and silver."

When Bao Cong heard that her tone was bad, he hurriedly said, "How could it be? I'm vulgar, I don't know how to pick the best for you."

He rummaged through the presents, found a pen and ink, and handed it to Lin Daiyu, saying: "This is the one that suits you, and the rest are just for you to use."

Lin Daiyu was just coaxing him to play, and now she saw how cautious he was, so she smiled, opened the box, and took out a pen and ink to admire: "This is Hui ink, but it is rare! I went to the study the day before yesterday to buy it, and the shopkeeper said It's out of stock. You're lucky to have it as soon as you go."

Bao Cong laughed and said, "What's the matter? If you like it, I'll tell the shopkeeper tomorrow and ask him to leave three or four yuan for you every month and send it directly to your home."

This is really what Lin Daiyu likes, so she didn't refuse, but said: "It's fine to give it once every two months. Such good ink has to be turned into words and paintings to show its dignity. If you buy it for nothing What's the point of dust at home?"

Bao Cong nodded again and again, "That's right, no matter what it is, it's good to use it."

Lin Daiyu was happy, and Bao Cong became more relaxed when she spoke, seeing her smiling and happy, he comforted her and said: "Don't pay too much attention to what mother said, she is always too idle to worry about what she shouldn't worry about. "

Lin Daiyu asked in surprise, "What are you talking about?"

Bao Cong said: "I just heard that your mother is urging you to have a baby again. You can't be in a hurry! Besides, you are not in good health. I think you can raise more, and it will be fine after a few years. I'll go to my mother and tell her not to worry..."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu's smiling little face just now became completely serious, without even looking at the pen and ink, she put together all the things on the table, called Zijuan, and said: "Take them all to the warehouse, pile them up It's crowded here!"

Zijuan looked at Baocong and Lin Daiyu, snickered, called the little girl, and moved the things away together.

Bao Cong was surprised, and asked afterward: "Don't you like that brush and ink very much? Why do you still use it in the warehouse? Why don't you use it in the study?"

But Lin Daiyu gave him a blank look, and said: "You are so lenient! You don't even care about what kind of pen and ink I use."

Bao Cong: "???" I was dumbfounded for a moment!

What does this mean?Why is it so good, Lin Daiyu is angry again?

Could it be that he didn't do enough to comfort her just now, and the mention of Mrs. Wang made her angry again?

Bao Cong slapped his head and said: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought up this matter with my mother. She will definitely blame you again later. Tell me about this matter. Mother is really stubborn. Why do you keep making troubles?" You? It's not that she doesn't know that you are weak. I told her long ago that I would have a baby a few years later, but she just didn't listen and kept urging you..."

But before she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu went back to the house angrily.

Bao Cong followed closely all the way, but when he came back to the house, Lin Daiyu shut the door behind him with a bang.

How is this going?

How did the good Lin Daiyu get so angry?

There hasn't been such a thing in recent years!

Bao Cong couldn't figure it out, seeing Zijuan came back, he quickly pulled her and asked, "What's wrong with Yu'er?"

If anyone knows what Lin Daiyu thinks better than him, it must be Zicuckoo.

Zijuan shook her head, but couldn't help laughing and said: "Grandma told me not to tell, but I dare not, you can ask yourself."

Bao Cong looked at the closed door, stared wide-eyed, not knowing whether he should squeeze in through the crack of the door, or kick the door open to break in, and finally asked Zijuan: "Then tell her to open the door, and I'll ask." she."

Zijuan followed the good advice, knocked on the door, and said, "Grandma, the third master is going in, please open the door."

Lin Daiyu's muffled voice came from the room: "Come in, pack up the bedding, and tell him to sleep in the study!"

"Ah?" Bao Cong was dumbfounded again, this, this has never happened before!

Zijuan enjoyed watching the play, and asked Bao Cong specifically: "Third Master, look? I'll go into the house and pack your bedding?"

At home, Lin Daiyu has always said that one thing is right.Bao Cong was still immersed in the doubts about why Lin Daiyu was so arrogant, so he nodded casually.

Zicuckoo pushed the door and went in, but the door was not locked at all.

Hugging a quilt here, packing a pillow there, she dawdled for a while, and packed all the bedding, while Bao Cong was still standing at the door, dazed in a daze.

Such a silly third master, but I haven't seen him for several years!

Zijuan snickered and made eye contact with Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu peeked through the window, couldn't help laughing, and immediately became serious again.

Lin Daiyu ate dinner at home.Zijuan asked Baocong to go to the hall for dinner, but Baocong didn't go, and only ate two steamed buns at the door to be full.

Lin Daiyu asked Zicuckoo to bring Baocong a bowl of soup to drink, and said, "Don't choke him to death!"

Bao Cong didn't know why, but walked around the door, saying from time to time: "Yu'er, why are you angry? I was wrong!"

As night fell, the lanterns were lit.

In the room, candlelit figures cuddled up to each other, obviously Lin Daiyu was reading a book.

Bao Cong simply squatted at the door, clubbed his arms, and pulled his hair, wondering why Lin Daiyu was angry.After thinking left and right, I didn't understand, so naturally I didn't know how to coax Lin Daiyu.

But he was stubborn, and when it was time to sleep, the candles were extinguished in the house, and he neither entered the house nor went to the study, but squatted at the door of the house.

Lin Daiyu got up and looked at it twice, she had no choice but to come out with her clothes on, pulled him and said, "You idiot, why don't you come in?"

Bao Cong patted his numb leg and said, "You didn't ask me to go in."

Sighing softly, Lin Daiyu nodded helplessly on his forehead, pulled his sleeves, and walked all the way into the house, "Your habit of squatting at the door has not changed for many years."

Bao Cong smiled foolishly, remembering that when Lin Daiyu was angry when he was a child, he would always be like this, squatting at the door, waiting for Lin Daiyu to call him.

At first, he didn't know if it was useful to squat at the door, but the only thing he was sure of was that it was definitely wrong to leave!

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu was always soft-hearted towards him, and she stopped being angry after squatting at the door of this house for a while.

Undressed to sleep, Bao Cong hugged Lin Daiyu, wanting to ask her what's wrong?

Lin Daiyu was still sullen and refused to speak, she just closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.This is really a rare thing, after all these years, as long as he asked, Lin Daiyu would always tell him all kinds of things.

But she refused to say, and Bao Cong was not in a hurry, but secretly decided that he had to think carefully about this matter.

A few days later, it was Qingming. Lin Daiyu first followed Mrs. Wang to worship the ancestors of the Jia family, and then worshiped Jia Min and Lin Ruhai alone at home.

Bao Cong thought, maybe because of Qingming, Lin Daiyu missed her father and mother, so she was depressed.However, after the Qingming Festival, Lin Daiyu still had a sad expression on her face.

Bao Cong didn't understand what Lin Daiyu was worried about.

Maybe it's because you're too busy and bored?Should we go out and have fun?

It was the spring season, so Bao Cong suggested to Lin Daiyu and Baochai that they could take the children from the family school out for spring outings.

Both Lin Daiyu and Baochai agreed, and even Xichun and Huan'er were very happy.This is the first time for them to go out with the students as gentlemen!

Ruan Chengze was also very happy. During the spring season, many men and women go out together. Then he and Xichun will be able to enjoy flowers and compose poems together!
