Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Baoyu was detained by Jia Zheng today to entertain guests in the front yard, and he didn't even have a chance to come back to eat with Jia Mu.

After Jia Zheng let him go, Baoyu hurriedly visited Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, so he went to Daiyu's room to play with Daiyu.

There was only a burst of laughter in the room.

He stood outside the door for a while, and knew that Xiangyun must be here. He hurriedly pushed the door in and said with a smile, "What are you playing? It's so lively?"

When Xiangyun saw him coming, he was so happy that he didn't even care about the little puppet that was playing with Daiyu. He got up in a hurry and went to Baoyu.

"Second brother, the old lady told me to stay with my sisters for a few more days before letting me go back! In the past, you only played with other people, but now I'm here, shouldn't you also play with me more? baby?"

Baoyu hurriedly peeked at Daiyu, only to see Daiyu pursing her lips and smiling, and she was also peeking at him, but she was slowly picking up the scattered puppets in her hands.

Baoyu sneered and said, "Since you're here, it's natural for everyone to play together. Let me see, what are you and Sister Lin playing with?"

It was only at this time that Xiangyun remembered the title "Second Brother" that he blurted out just now, and recalled Bai Ridaiyu's joking saying "Love Brother", and he blushed unconsciously.

Fortunately, under the light of the halo, Baoyu and Daiyu gathered at the table to watch the unfinished chess, neither of them seemed to notice Xiangyun's strangeness.

Xiangyun gradually felt relieved, but seeing the two of them getting very close to each other, his heart felt a little sour again.

She also leaned over and looked at Baoyu, but said to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, don't you think so? I finally came here, and the second elder brother only cares about playing with you and ignores me. "

Daiyu had long wanted to go to Lixiangyuan to look for Baochai, but the sisters played together during the day and had no chance to talk to Baochai alone. So I gave up Xiangyun to find Baochai, so I had to play with Xiangyun in the room.

Now that Baoyu has come, Xiangyun has always been able to get along with Baoyu, and she has fulfilled her wish.

Hearing what Xiangyun said today, Daiyu simply messed up the chessboard and got up, and said with a smile, "How could Baoyu be like this? You two play chess for a while, but I want to send something to Lan'er on behalf of my brother."

Baoyu also got up, thinking that wherever Daiyu was going, he would definitely follow her.I heard that it has something to do with Chongyu and Jia Lan. Thinking of the cousins ​​and nephews who used to discuss articles with Jia Zhu together, what Chongyu wants to give to Jia Lan must have something to do with the article. Baoyu has been destroyed first. Most of my thoughts.Thinking about the fact that Xiangyun is really hard to get here, he should play with him for a while, let alone go.

Xiangyun hoped to play with Baoyu more, but also felt that Li Wan was more disciplined and would be very dull without the other sisters, so he didn't like to go there, so he didn't bother to go with Daiyu.

Although Daiyu borrowed Li Wanna's name to come out of the room, she really brought something for Jia Lan.

Coincidentally, she didn't go very far when she met Aunt Zhao coming out from Tanchun's.

Aunt Zhao is Tanchun's biological mother. She and Tanchun had many disputes on weekdays, but in the end, blood is thicker than water, and the two have a very close relationship.

Seeing Zijuan holding something behind Daiyu, Aunt Zhao always looked at Zijuan's hand after greeting Daiyu.

She smiled and asked: "The girl is not staying in the house at night, why is she going out with the girl? Is there anything I need to do, just tell the girl? Do you want the girl to go there in person? Could it be that this thing is so valuable?"

Daiyu secretly didn't like it, but because of Tanchun's face, she couldn't treat Aunt Zhao too much, so she said lightly: "How valuable is it? It's just the two collections of articles that Chongyu wants to give to Lan'er. Tell Lan'er which articles to read first, so that you can learn to write better. I am afraid that the servants will not be able to explain clearly, so I have to send it to Lan'er in person, so that I can explain clearly."

Aunt Zhao nodded, but she still couldn't help but peeked at it, wondering whether Daiyu got something from Jia Mu, or was entrusted by Jia Mu, so she secretly gave the good things to Li at night under the guise of the Lin family's name. Wan mother and son.

It is said that Aunt Zhao is quite liked by Jia Zheng, since she has a son under her knees and a daughter like Tanchun, her status in the family should not be low.It's a pity that she doesn't live up to her expectations, and loves to compete with others, which causes a lot of embarrassment.

If she is stupid enough, she doesn't know those good things, but she is clear.

She looked at the number one master in the family, and she didn't know how many good things she had in her hands, while what she and her son Jia Huan got was only a few monthly allowances.However, the items on the monthly schedule were often distributed late, and they were not delivered until they were urged to do so.Even if it can be delivered on time, it is mostly shoddy and not very useful.

She didn't dare to get angry with the servants who were waiting for the head and face. At the beginning, she even went to Mrs. Wang once or twice, but she didn't get any results. She just earned Mrs. Wang's scolding. up.

Aunt Zhao didn't realize that this was something that other masters would encounter. It was all because other people looked down on her mother and son, thinking that she was born as a servant. When she became an aunt and had a master's son, she was still a slave, so she did everything bad. I sent it to my room, and I already had a lot of injustice in my heart.

Later, Lin Daiyu came, who was deeply loved by Jia Mu. She sent a lot of good things openly, and I don't know how much she gave secretly.

Aunt Zhao has always complained about Baoyu. She always felt that with Baoyu around, she and her Huan'er could not get any good things. The family property was all prepared to be left to Baoyu. When she saw Daiyu later, she felt that Daiyu was coming Competing for Jiamu's collection, therefore, she paid special attention to Daiyu's food and clothing expenses, interior furnishings and other things.

Seeing Daiyu delivering things late at night tonight, I feel that I have the evidence. I only hate that even if these things are related to Jiamu, it is not up to her to make decisions, so she has no one to complain.

Aunt Zhao wanted to report it to Mrs. Wang, but since the things fell into the hands of Li Wan and Jia Lan, although they were not given to Baoyu, what would Mrs. Wang think?

So I had no choice but to suppress this thought.

But with the pressure in my heart, I feel even more wronged.

Aunt Zhao walked past Daiyu's master and servant alternately, she couldn't help turning her head several times, until she could no longer see Daiyu's master and servant, she reluctantly withdrew her gaze from the package.

Daiyu is sensitive, although she never looked back, she has a feeling that someone is staring at her master and servant.

Seeing that Li Wan's house has arrived, Daiyu can only suppress her unhappiness, smiles and circles with Li Wan's mother and son, puts down her things, and then quietly goes to Lixiangyuan.

Different from other courtyards in Rong Mansion, there are many women on watch at night, with many lamps on.

It was much quieter here in Lixiangyuan, and Daiyu was almost here in the main room, so someone rushed to tell Aunt Xue and Baochai to know.

When Baochai rushed out to greet her, she saw Daiyu was about to take off her hat and cloak to block the snow, and hurriedly said, "Is it snowing outside? Come inside to warm up."

Daiyu came in with Baochai and first visited Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue knew that Xiangyun lived with Daiyu, but now she saw Daiyu coming, so she couldn't help asking Xiangyun.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Baoyu is playing with her. His brother and sister were used to playing together before, but now that girl Yun is back home, it's rare for them to get together."

After hearing this, Aunt Xue nodded in agreement, but she felt a little sad in her heart.

She and Mrs. Wang were only wary of Daiyu before, but now she realizes that there is another Shi Xiangyun.

Even if the Lin family is unwilling to achieve the marriage of Shuangyu, there is no guarantee that Mrs. Jia will not choose her daughter-in-law on Shi Xiangyun, her niece and granddaughter.

Knowing that Daiyu didn't come here for her own sake, and she also had something on her mind, after a few words, she asked Baochai and Daiyu to come inside so that they could talk more warmly.

Baochai went in and sat down with Daiyu, and said with concern: "It's late at night, what can't you come back tomorrow? Even if there is something urgent, just send someone to come, why bother to go there in person? Thank you today Remember to bring a hand stove, at least your hands are not cold."

Daiyu turned her head and smiled at Zijuan, "If I don't remember, Zijuan won't let me go out."

"It should be so!" Baochai also looked at Zijuan, and then noticed what kind of scroll Zijuan was holding in her hand, and asked curiously, "What is this? You came so late, could it be that you just wanted to give it away?"

Daiyu laughed and said: "Big brother asked Chongyu to prepare this for him years ago. I said I would ask for it after the Lantern Festival. I thought that I would stay with the old lady for a few days and I would definitely visit my sister to play. You might as well send it to me by the way." Why do we have to wait until after the Lantern Festival to bring it here?"

As she spoke, she signaled Zijuan to hand over the scroll to Baochai.

After Chongyu agreed to prepare poems and paintings with orchids as the theme for Xue Pan, he had already prepared them.

But Daiyu wanted to find some reason so that she could find Baochai in private, so she asked Chongyu to ask for it, and wanted to deliver it to Baochai herself.Although she and Baochai have to pass it on, as long as the things can be delivered to Xue Pan in time, then it will be fine.

How can Baochai fail to guess her intentions, and she already understands that Daiyu's gift of painting is fake, but her request for favor is real.

However, she has long since put aside what happened that day, seeing Daiyu's prudent appearance now is both funny and sympathetic.

Seeing that Daiyu messed up her hair at the side of her temples when she took off her bamboo hat after entering the door, she said, "You girl, you don't know you'll come back tomorrow when it's snowing? Let me tidy up your hair for you." .”

Just as Zijuan was about to tell her to come, Daiyu turned to Baochai.

Baochai brushed up Daiyu's hair for Daiyu. When she was done, she gently pinched Daiyu's cheek and said, "It's done."

But she felt that there was still some coolness in the touch, so she hurriedly ordered Ying'er to change some hot tea and cook some more ginger soup, so she had time to scold Daiyu: "No wonder you and Brother Bao are on good terms. It's crazy. You said you were cold when you came over, so how can I feel at ease?"

Daiyu lowered her head and ate her tea, sighing in her heart that she was reckless.If she really caught the wind and cold while living in Rong Mansion, I don't know how many troubles will arise.

Zijuan hurriedly said: "Miss Bao, you don't know, my girl has been thinking about her for the past few days, but she can't find a chance to talk to her for a while, that's why she wants to do this."

Daiyu's face was flushed, and she raised her eyes to stare at Zijuan: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Zijuan was not afraid of her, and said with a smile: "Miss, I'm embarrassed to say, but naturally I want to speak for her, or else she came here in the snow, but Miss Bao still doesn't know why she came, and she is happy in her heart?"
