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

Lin Daiyu took a serious look at the purse on Baocong's body, and saw that it was not the purse she embroidered, so she moved the corners of her mouth in displeasure, and said angrily, "You don't even look at the needlework, any good girl's purse is hidden here. Come to rely on me to embroider?"

As she said that, she got up with a straight face and went outside.

"Then, didn't you embroider this?" Bao Cong saw Lin Daiyu with a serious face for the first time, and chased her out anxiously. He was still thinking about it all the way to the door of her house, and asked her, "Then where did you embroider? Are you still there?" Where is Baoyu?"

Lin Daiyu snorted when she heard this, and said with a half-smile, "I even embroidered for my uncles and aunts. Who told you...not to be at home?"

With that said, she turned and went into the house, closing the door with a bang.

Bao Cong stopped at the door with her purse in her hand, she was stunned!

This was the first time he was shut out by Lin Daiyu!

Is Lin Daiyu really angry?But why was she angry?

He just took someone's purse and asked, but he didn't do anything else... So innocent...

Xueyan came over and saw Bao Cong standing at the door in a daze, so she laughed at him: "Third Master, why are you locked out by the girl? It's really rare!"

At the end, I added a sentence: "I don't know, I thought it was the second master Bao!"

"Is Baoyu often kept outside Sister Lin's house?" After Baocong finished asking, he suddenly poohed again, and asked again: "Does Baoyu often come to pester Sister Lin?"

Xueyan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, Master Bao comes to talk to the girl every day. Sometimes he comes over early in the morning and sits until evening before going back. Whenever our girl gets angry, he will come to coax her." , it’s just that the girl thinks he’s boring and crooked, so she often shuts him out.”

After hearing this, Baocong threw the purse in his hand to Xueyan sullenly, and said, "You are rewarded." Then he sighed: "I have only been home for a few days, and I have made sister Lin angry. Does she not want to see me now?" , just waiting to see Baoyu? What can I do?"

Xueyan laughed and said: "That's not easy, you just sit at the door, the girl will not want you outside later, she must come out!"

I thought Bao Cong would be happy, but he sighed and said sadly: "It seems that Bao Yu coaxes Sister Lin like this every time, right?"

Lin Daiyu was holding a brocade box and listening at the door of the house. Hearing Bao Cong's sour tone, she hurriedly opened the door and said to Xueyan angrily, "What are you talking about here?"

Seeing Bao Cong's dejected face again, he burst into laughter when he was teased, and said, "I haven't knocked on the gong, what kind of drama are you singing here!"

So, she pulled him into the house and gave him the brocade box: "Look at it!"

Holding the brocade box, Bao Cong opened it and saw that there were two or three exquisite purses inside, as well as sachets, handkerchiefs and fan bags, all of which were beautiful, and he was overjoyed: "These are all for you." mine?"

Lin Daiyu stared at her tenderly, and said coquettishly: "If I don't give it to you, I don't know what kind of miserable little girl you are going to play at the door of the house!"

Bao Cong was so happy now, he laughed and said, "So my sister is not angry with me! Did you just play me with that stern face?"

Lin Daiyu nodded with a smile, and said proudly, "You were only allowed to play tricks on me before, and I was not allowed to play tricks on you?"

"Okay, my sister is good, don't learn, just learn the bad tricks that play tricks, and see if I don't teach you!" Bao Cong put the brocade box on the side table, laughing and grabbing Lin Daiyu, wanting to tickle her.

How could Lin Daiyu submit obediently?Laughed and ran around the house for a while!

When she ran to the corner of the room and was blocked by Bao Cong, she was already out of breath from laughing, and supported Bao Cong's hand to pant: "Haha, good brother, stop playing! I dare not play with you anymore!" !"

Bao Cong was afraid that Lin Daiyu would lose her temper from laughing, so she slowly stroked her back to calm her down, and said with a smile, "I'll forgive you now, don't laugh, and be careful not to lose your temper."

After playing for a while, Lin Daiyu's little face was flushed, her eyes were rippling and moving, and her whole body was full of vitality, more beautiful and immortal than when she was a child.

Bao Cong got very close and could smell the faint fragrance on her body. In front of her eyes was the extremely white and slender neck that was glowing with light, and the round, cute and red ears.

His heart beat a few beats immediately, he took two steps back, looked away, thinking to himself: This little girl has grown up, why is she getting more and more beautiful?

Lin Daiyu didn't notice Bao Cong's embarrassment, but leaned closer to him to support him, pouted and said: "If you get angry, it's all your fault, who told you to chase me?"

Chasing me, chasing me, chasing me... Bao Cong's ears were red, he cleared his throat in embarrassment, he was so confused, he only heard these two words...

Baoyu and Baocong lived in Yihong Courtyard together. Yihong Courtyard has a beautiful view and a very large place.Two people moved in, plus more than [-] girls, big and small, it was not too crowded.

After the first lunar month, Bao Cong tied Baoyu to his trouser belt, and got up early every day to go to the study room outside.

Zhou Ji looks old-fashioned, but in fact he is well-informed and talented.

In class, there are his 12-year-old son Zhou Chang, Qingshuang Baoyu, and Bao Cong who has been admitted to the scholar. The progress of the four of them is different, but he can take care of them all.

He gave lectures unhurriedly, and often talked about ancient and modern allusions and various customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Baoyu was also fascinated by listening to it, as if he didn't feel that reading the Four Books and Five Classics was suffering.

Bao Cong looked at him coldly, and felt that he had begged Zhou Ji for several months, and invited him to come to his home to teach, it was really worth it!

He didn't believe it anymore, a few people brainwashed Baoyu together, can't they break the ambition of this undecided child?

Seeing that Baoyu had studied hard, Jia Zheng was so happy that he called Baoyu to wake him up for a few words, but Baoyu was so frightened that he didn't bother to go to class for several days.

Bao Cong could only sigh and shake his head, and secretly let Bao Yu go on leave, planning to arrest him for class three days later.

However, within three days, Baoyu sneaked into the foreign study by himself.

Bao Cong knew for sure that he had a ghost, so he followed him quietly, and finally grabbed Mingyan and got him a bunch of books about Miss Scholar.

"Oh! You really have time to watch these things!" Bao Cong immediately grabbed Ming Yan, called Wu Hui and said, "Take this kid out and beat him ten times."

Mingyan hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't care about my business! It was the second master Bao who made a fuss and insisted on asking me to find it for him!"

Baoyu also hurriedly stopped him, and said angrily, "What's wrong with me reading only a few scripts? Why don't you find the scripts for Sister Lin to read? Why can't she read them? You're too lenient!"

Bao Cong snorted coldly, put his hands on the stack of story books, and said with a half-smile: "I am lenient? Why don't you tell the master and wife to see if they are lenient?"

When Baoyu heard that he was going to tell Jia Zheng, his face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly, "You, you rascal, don't, don't tell the master!"

Seeing that Baoyu was afraid, Baocong asked again: "Then should I be more lenient?"

Baoyu shook her head frantically again and again: "Not lenient, not lenient!"

But I was crying in my heart, obviously he is the elder brother, how could there be such a younger brother!

To discipline people, you have to hit a stick and give a sweet date.

Baocong didn't want Baoyu to be frightened, so he said in a good voice: "The scripts I found for Sister Lin are all good stories about mothers being kind and filial, and serving the country with loyalty. Look at what Mingyan found for you. Miss Scholar's mess?"

"You are everyone's son, and you are not one of those bastards, what are you doing looking at these?"

Seeing that Baoyu was shrunk by the words, Baocong sighed again and said, "But it's normal for us men to read some nonsense, but don't let these be seductive and change your temperament. Studying in class is serious, and these are used occasionally. Just relieve boredom!"

When Baoyu saw Baocong, he didn't seem to blame him for wanting to read the script, so he tentatively asked: "Then these scripts...can I take them to relieve boredom?"

Bao Cong smiled, and said seductively: "Every time you are praised by the teacher for your homework, I will reward you with a copy. You can only read it in the study outside, and you are not allowed to take it into the garden!"

Hearing that he had the opportunity to read these scripts, Baoyu nodded obediently and reluctantly agreed.

Seeing what Baocong and Baoyu said, Mingyan thought she was all right, so she said happily, "Third Master, I also saw Second Master studying hard, so I came here to relieve his boredom."

But Bao Cong did not forget the scourge of Mingyan, pointed at him coldly, and still said to Wu Hui: "Drag it on, hit ten boards, tell him to remember it, don't try to coax Baoyu to play with something!"

Why did Mingyan think that she would still have to be punished, so she cried at Baoyu, "Second Master Bao, save me, save me! Plead for me!"

Wu Hui called two strong servants, dragged Mingyan outside, pulled a bench, held down Mingyan, and began to hit the board.

Hearing Mingyan's cries, Baoyu couldn't bear to move his mouth, and was about to intercede, but was stared at by Baocong, and immediately became honest.

Woooooo, Mingyan, it's not that I don't save you, it's that Baocong is too fierce!

This day, when Baocong was out of school, he saw Laiwang, a boy, guarding the door of the outer study, saying that Wang Xifeng invited him to come.

Baoyu asked curiously from the side: "What is Sister Feng looking for with Baocong?"

Laiwang faltered and said: "The little one is not too clear."

Baocong also wanted to talk to Wang Xifeng, so he asked Baoyu to go back to the Grand View Garden by himself.

Baoyu was very curious about the mysterious nature of these two people, but after thinking about it, he finally got rid of his follower Baocong for a while, why didn't he go back to the Grand View Garden and have a good time?

So Baoyu held back his smile, nodded happily, and left by himself.

Baocong went to Wang Xifeng's place, and Ping'er came out to lead him in, reminding him in a low voice as he walked, "Third Master, Second Mistress is angry with you!"

Bao Cong smiled, and thanked Ping'er in a low voice for his kindness.As soon as the two of them arrived at the door of the main room, they heard Wang Xifeng come out to greet him loudly: "Hey, brother Baocong is here!"

"You are a noble person now, if I hadn't asked someone to wait in the study outside, it would be hard for me to invite you to sit here!"

He was clearly angry, but his face was full of smiles, which showed that Wang Xifeng had deep scheming.

Wang Xifeng can act, but Bao Cong can't?

Therefore, Bao Cong also cooperated with the performance, and said with a smile: "Where is it that I don't come to sit? Obviously, Sister Feng is busy with housekeeping now, and has no time to pay attention to us idlers who are wandering around!"

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng pretended to be angry and complained to Ping'er: "Look at you, he is a scholar! In the past, he couldn't tell a joke, but now he's more talkative than me! Look, I'll tell my ancestors , don’t call me a rogue, this nickname should be given to Brother Baocong!”

One noble man, one scholar, Bao Cong naturally heard Wang Xifeng's intentions, so he said with a half-smile: "I dare not. A capable hero like Sister Feng is said to be stronger than a man. How dare I fight with you?" How good is Sister Feng?"

From what he said, even Ping'er could tell that Bao Cong was arguing with Wang Xifeng!

Ping'er quietly glanced at Wang Xifeng's face, seeing that she was still smiling, but the corner of her mouth was cold, so she knew she was extremely angry.

Bao Cong glanced at the anxious Ping'er, and sent her off: "Sister Ping'er, please pour me a cup of tea, I'm thirsty!"

Ping'er didn't dare to move, but only looked at Wang Xifeng's eyes.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng waved his hands and said with a smile: "How can Brother Baocong not even have tea here? Go down and pour tea!"

Ping'er is also a fine person, knowing that the two of them wanted to talk in private, he gave a blessing, quietly withdrew, and stood guard not far away.

Ping'er left, Wang Xifeng and Bao Cong didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere in the room became a little bit cold.

The old god Bao Cong sat still, staring at a vase in the corner seriously, without seeming to be in a hurry.

But Wang Xifeng couldn't bear it anymore, pretending to joke and said: "I invited you here today to make amends for you. You have only been here for a few days, but the servant got angry a few times. It's all my fault, don't care Alright, let’s get the screwdriver down.”

Bao Cong knew that Wang Xifeng was a soft-tempered person. Seeing that she softened first, he laughed back and said, "Where is it sister-in-law's fault? Such a big family has hundreds of things waiting for Sister Feng to deal with every day. My sister is already too busy to touch the ground!"

Wang Xifeng answered: "That's right. I'm busy getting up early and going to bed late every day. This screwdriver, a damned servant, actually took advantage of the loophole to make you angry! It's not easy to beat them, and it's time to drive them out and let them know how powerful they are!" !"

She scolded for a while, then suddenly smiled softly and said, "It's just logical that you, a scholar, should be busy with your studies, why waste your time on these servants? If there's something wrong with them, just tell me, and I'll deal with it myself Isn't it appropriate?"

After hearing this, Bao Cong shook his head and suddenly smiled.

Wang Xifeng didn't understand what it meant, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Baocong, what are you laughing at?"

Bao Cong sneered and sighed, "I'm Sister Xiaofeng putting the cart before the horse!"

Although Wang Xifeng didn't know a few big characters, she could still understand the idiom "putting the cart before the horse". Hearing Baocong's sigh, he became more and more curious.

Baocong whetted her appetite for a while, and then said slowly: "When I was in Yangzhou, I was with Lian's second elder brother, and I used to see him hugging each other when he went to the Fengyue place. Four bedrooms."

When Wang Xifeng heard it, his face immediately turned ugly, and he smiled awkwardly: "What do you know about your family?"

Bao Cong let out a "heh" and said: "Although I don't understand it very well, I also know that Lian's second brother is so romantic. If he can't keep it, there will be someone else. Now sister Feng is not busy giving birth to a few more nephews, but she is devoting all her energy to it." Isn't it putting the cart before the horse when spending money on housekeepers!"

Hearing Bao Cong's uncle suddenly mention such a thing, Wang Xifeng was rarely embarrassed.

But what Bao Cong said had some truth, Wang Xifeng said distressedly: "Brother Bao Cong doesn't know about the family affairs, the old lady is too old to take care of things, and the second wife just copy scriptures and chant Buddha, the eldest lady... ..”

It is not good for her to be a daughter-in-law and to say that her mother-in-law is not good, so she hid the words, and continued: "Everyone in the family who can stand up to manage things, if I let go of them, wouldn't the family be in chaos?"

He sighed again and said, "Look, I'm the only one who supervises so strictly, there are still people who don't have eyes and dare to offend you!"

Therefore, Wang Xifeng became more and more truthful, and said that the family had less income and more expenditure, and that it was not good for her to make up for the dowry. She vomited bitterness to Baocong and almost shed a few tears.

Bao Cong listened, but his face was calm, "I am going to tell a story with Sister Feng."

"When I was in Hangzhou, I went back to the court to hear the trial. It was said that a woman from a wealthy family took silver and put interest on it and killed her."

"It's against the law to give out interest, let alone causing death? At that time, the magistrate sentenced the woman to fifty boards and exiled him for three thousand miles. Her husband was also convicted for covering up, and her husband was so angry that he was arrested on the spot. Divorce that woman."

"Ah?" Wang Xifeng was shocked suddenly, "What, what...what are you talking about?"

Bao Cong looked at Wang Xifeng, with a smile on his face, but coldness in his eyes.

He said: "Sister Feng, tell me, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if someone from our duke's family does such a disgraceful thing, will the old lady be so angry that she will call her to divorce first?"
