Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

"Isn't that Miss Bao?" The mother-in-law said with a smile, "Second Master, please wait a moment."

In the room, Baochai and Daiyu obviously also heard the voices outside.

Daiyu blushed first, and buried her head in the quilt, for which reason she never saw Baochai's blushing face.

Normally, Baochai would have thought of making fun of Daiyu, and it was Daiyu who made fun of her first, and it was not long before she found out about Yuanchun's decree, so how could Baochai be in such a mood?

So it wasn't until the girls came in with washing water that Baochai pushed Daiyu and said, "Get up quickly! The coaxing I said earlier didn't mean that Baoyu coaxed me, but that he coaxed other people. He said he would be good at reading, but who knows that he is still worrying about his uncle asking him about his homework all day after reading it."

Daiyu, with her messy hair, sat up hugging the quilt and looked at Baochai with her lips pursed and smiling.

Baochai said angrily, "Are you being naughty again?"

"Where am I being naughty? My sister won't allow me to laugh?"

Baochai reached out to twist Daiyu, and Daiyu hurriedly hid in the bed.

Even the girl who brought in the water couldn't help laughing, Baochai neither continued to play with Daiyu nor persuaded Daiyu to get up, and went to wash herself first.

She was like this, Daiyu couldn't stay on the bed anyhow, and hurriedly got up to wash, comb her hair and make up.

When Baochai saw this, she saw that the girl had already brought her the clothes and handed them to her.

"You should change your clothes first!"

Baoyu outside waited for a long time, and even drank a few cups of tea before he saw Daiyu and Baochai walking out gracefully.

He hurriedly got up and went forward.

"Sister Lin, Sister Bao!"

He just yelled, and Daiyu rushed to say: "Today I will celebrate your birthday first! It's a shame that your birthday party is here so early. If Sister Bao and I neglect you, the birthday party must forgive me. "

Baoyu laughed quickly and said, "What are you talking about, sister? I was right to bother you. I really need to discuss something with you today. It would be best if Sister Bao was here."

As he spoke, he took out the post in his sleeve and handed it to the two of them.

Baochai accepted the post, first took Daiyu to sit down, and said, "Little girl, let's see what it is that makes our second master Bao come to you early in the morning."

Baoyu came only to find out that she was also in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so he must only come to find Daiyu.

Baoyu blushed, and quickly drank tea to cover it up.

Daiyu leaned closer to Baochai, and they read the post almost side by side.

After watching it, Baochai pushed Daiyu with a smile and said, "Have you ever finished reading it? If you haven't finished reading it, take it and read it quickly. Fortunately, it is still cool now, otherwise it will be so hot."

"Is my sister hot? Let me see?" Daiyu didn't take the post, but poured it on the back of Baochai's hand,

Baochai hurriedly withdrew her hand, took the post and patted her hand lightly.

"He said he wasn't naughty!"

Daiyu didn't refute this time, but just asked with a smile: "Baoyu, what are you going to ask us with this post?"

The post Miaoyu sent to Baoyu only wrote the words "Miaoyu, an outsider, respectfully and respectfully knocks on Fangchen", but it can be read at a glance.

After Baoyu said that she didn't know how to reply to Miaoyu, Baochai pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday, I went to see her for tea with Shao'er, and by chance I heard her say, 'Even if there is a thousand-year-old iron barrier, there must be a bun in the end'." Presumably she, an outsider, is calling herself from here. If you reply, you might as well call yourself an insider."

Baoyu was like enlightened, and sighed: "No wonder my family temple is called Tiekan Temple. It comes from this theory."

He didn't care about going back to Yihong Courtyard, so he hurriedly borrowed paper and pen from Daiyu, and was about to reply to Miaoyu in the study of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

It was only a few words, and it didn't take much time to write it. Baoyu finished it soon, and sent the girl to the Changcui nunnery.

After talking for a while, Baochai suddenly laughed and said, "It just so happens that our Qin'er is also born today, so let's make fun of her!"

When she said this, Baoyu groaned, patted his legs and sighed: "But! It's just because she wasn't at our house in the past, so I can't remember it for a while. But I should also celebrate her birthday! "

As Fang said, there was a girl from Yihong Courtyard who came to look for her, yelling that she wanted Baoyu to return to the front hall as soon as possible. The heaven and earth incense candles had been set up in the courtyard, just waiting for him to burn incense and salute. There are two places in the ancestral hall to salute, and there are also Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang to worship.

Hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly got up and pushed him out: "You can go back quickly! You still think that you got up so early, so you didn't do these important things! I will go to your place with Sister Bao later. .”

Baochai also gets up and takes Baoyu out.

Baoyu knew he was in the wrong, so he hurriedly followed the little girl.

After Baoyu left, Daiyu asked Baochai in a low voice, "What do you think Miaoyu is planning? Baoyu may not be aware of the self-proclaimed deep meaning now, and I am afraid that one day he will really know it, but he doesn't know what he will do." Well. She just told us yesterday that Baoyu has the roots of wisdom, and it’s Baoyu’s birthday today, so she used the iron threshold and the earthen buns to remind people.”

Baochai pondered for a while, then smiled and asked: "Then you think we can go to Zen and discuss the Tao?"

Daiyu hastily denied it and said, "It's just a joke, but it's true!"

Baochai laughed and said, "Isn't that enough? Since we can see Miaoyu's meaning, we don't take it seriously, let alone Baoyu, who has never thought of how to reply. Especially when we help After he replied to the post, he would not spend much time thinking about it, how could he be misled by the information in the post, but actually go to the Zen machine and make crooked and crazy words?"

Daiyufang nodded in agreement, but she still had concerns in her heart.

Ordinary people celebrate birthdays for others, but say some auspicious words.What Miaoyu said in the post is really auspicious, and using the word "Fangchen" is more in line with Baoyu's heart.But the deep meaning of "people inside the threshold", but I want to mention some precious jade, the glory and wealth in the world are all illusory, and the only thing that can really be left is a grave.If many more years pass, even this tomb may not be able to stay.

Baochai observes Daiyu's expression and knows that Daiyu is still thinking about Miaoyu's post.

She knew in her heart that if she didn't have a clear discussion with Daiyu first, even if she could talk to Daiyu at this time, she would think of these things again when Daiyu was free.At that time, only Daiyu was left to think about it, but she didn't know what question to come up with, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "Little girl, let me ask you again, do you still remember what identity Miaoyu was drinking tea with us last night?"

Daiyu snorted and asked curiously, "Isn't everyone aware of this?"

Baochai looked at her with a smile.

Daiyu lowered her head to think, Fang nodded and said: "I understand! Yesterday we discussed poetry together, and we also talked about the poems we wrote in the poetry club. Miaoyu also told us what kind of poems we would not lose." The real face of the daughter of the boudoir in Macau! She even mentioned Gusu to me, saying that she didn’t know when she would be able to go back..."

Speaking of this, Daiyu felt a little lost.

Although Baochai was a little worried, but hearing her mention the "daughter of the boudoir", knowing that it would prevent her from thinking about those thoughts, she felt relieved.

"In my opinion, it's just that you have too much heart, so you insist on giving Miaoyu an alias to arrange so many things! I will speak more carefully in front of you in the future, lest you don't know where to go. .”

Daiyu is in a hurry, how can she care about Miaoyu's heart?

Besides, what Baochai said had some truth, she just took it seriously, turned to Baochai with a smile and said: "Good sister! This is not what you promised before, and told Shaoer to just talk to you when he had something to do? Otherwise, he would I dare not talk to you! Is my sister going to go back on her word?"

"Why?" Although Baochai responded to Daiyu with a smile, she quietly turned her head to avoid Daiyu's eyes.

She doesn't want to go back on her word.

But there was one thing that she couldn't help but regret.

Fearing that the keen-minded Daiyu would notice her careful thinking just now, Baochai didn't dare to think about it anymore, so she hurriedly brought up the topic of Baoyu and Baoqin having the same birthday, and that she wanted to go to Tanchun with Daiyu first. Later, the sisters will go to Yihong Courtyard together.

There are many trivial rules in the big family, and after all, the old ladies and wives had to be greeted. It was Jia's mother who took pity on her grandchildren and granddaughters and allowed them to come to the garden by themselves early.

Today Xiangyun was picked up by someone sent by Jiamu to Bowlinghou's mansion, and now he is leading Baoyu to play games and drink, while Daiyu is fishing with a fishing rod by the water's edge.

There are noises all around, but these fish live here, they have long been used to noise, and the range of water is only so large, they can't escape anywhere, they don't take these noises seriously, they are still with each other Frolicking in the water.

I don't know how long I've been fishing, Xichun came over and saw that the small bucket next to her was empty of fish, so she said with a smile: "It's been so long, sister Lin hasn't caught a fish yet?"

Not far away, Yingchun, who was sitting on a string of flowers, looked over and said, "She has taken the bait a few times, and she let the fish go away, and then put on the bait to play again."

Daiyu groaned and said with a smile: "I am the second sister who only cares about the string of flowers in my hand, so I know that there are fish biting the hook here?"

Yingchun still said softly and softly: "I didn't find out until you changed the bait."

Baochai and Tanchun, who were standing together under the shade of flowers on one side, heard what they said.

Tanchun sighed softly: "Second sister is like this, many things are not unclear, but just ignore it."

Baochai knew that she was talking about Yingchun's nurse, and was thinking that it was inconvenient for her to talk too much, so it would be more appropriate not to answer, when Tanchun said in a low voice again: "Sister Bao, I have heard about you and your second elder brother. I haven't had time to ask you all the time, but now that they don't pay attention to us, I would like to ask you what you think? If you are before the second sister..."

Tanchun paused for a while, blushed and skipped a few words, and then continued: "Although it is a matter of the second sister's room, it is also a family matter. Can you really ignore everything?"

Suddenly someone laughed and raised his voice and asked, "What are you whispering about?"

As the sound approached, Xiang Yun, who smelled of alcohol, walked quickly.

"Sister Bao, Sister San, I've found you! Come on, let's go drink! It's boring to eat vegetables and drink, let's think of some new tricks to play!"

As she said, she squeezed between Baochai and Tanchun, holding one in each hand, and was about to walk to the pavilion where the banquet was held. , Fourth girl, let's go to the pavilion to drink and compose poems!"

Although Daiyu doesn't like drinking, and has always been too strong to drink, but seeing Xiangyun happy, she also abandoned her fishing rod.

Baoqin had been sitting in the pavilion a long time ago. Seeing the sisters coming together, she got up to greet her.

Baoyu, who was about to let the girl warm the carnival wine, heard Baoqin talking to Daiyu and the others, so she hurried over and asked the kitchen for some fresh food, so she was not free.

The Grand View Garden is very lively.

In the palace, Yuan Chun was lying on the couch, caressing his lower abdomen.

The happy event came suddenly, but she had repeatedly confirmed that she was really pregnant with a dragon fetus.

The emperor has too few heirs, as long as she can give birth to this child smoothly, her position in the emperor's heart will be stronger.

She doesn't dare to publicize this matter now, even the people around her only know about Baoqin she brought in from outside the palace.

But this time there will be a three-day safe offering, and all the men of Jia's family will go to offer incense and worship the Buddha, in order to pray for the child's safety.
