Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Daiyu lived in Jia's house for some time, and then she listened to Jia's mother's instructions. Because she had too many granddaughters, it was inconvenient to be crowded together, so Sanchun sisters lived in the small building behind Mrs. Wang's room, and then In his own room, he tidied up a room for each of Baoyu, Daiyu and Chongyu.

Daiyu had no other thoughts at all, and only wished that it would be more convenient to discuss the knowledge in the book with Chongyu in the future, but there were a lot of gossips from the servants, which made her a little unwilling to talk to those little girls, even though she had a private room It is more convenient to read and write, and I love reading even more. I am afraid that my younger brother will leave too much behind in my studies.

Those little girls were not very willing to talk to her, for fear that they might do something wrong and make her cry.

In this way, people gradually think that Miss Lin is arrogant and self-confident, and her eyes are clean.

On this day, Daiyu was with Baoyu, beside Jiamu, talking to Jiamu to relieve boredom. Suddenly, he heard a rumor that his concubine brought her brother and sister to Beijing with their family and was getting off the car outside the door.

This concubine is Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang's sister.Some time ago, there was a letter from Jia Yucun, who filled the vacancy of Yingtian Mansion, saying that Xue Pan's lawsuit had been settled, and Mrs. Wang's brother Wang Ziteng was promoted to the control of nine provinces, and he was ordered to leave the capital to inspect the border.

Good things piled up, Mrs. Wang was regretting that Aunt Xue's family hadn't arrived, but unexpectedly she came today, and she was so happy that she brought her daughter-in-law and daughters out of the hall and Aunt Xue and others came in.

When the two sisters met each other in their old age, they were full of sorrows and joys. After a lot of crying and laughing, Mrs. Wang led Aunt Xue and her daughter Xue Baochai to visit Jia Mu. As for Aunt Xue's son Xue Pan, Jia Lian led him to visit Jia Zheng first. Still waiting to meet Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and others.

Daiyu accompanies Jiamu, and also has to meet Aunt Xue and Baochai.

She saw that Baochai's lips were red without pimples, her eyebrows were unpainted but green, her face was like a silver basin, her eyes were like apricots, and she had a plump appearance. I am already a little envious.Seeing that Baochai came here today, with his mother by his side, in the process of dealing with it, it is likely that his mother is there. He does not need to be as cautious as he was back then, and he has to pay extra attention to Chongyu, which makes him feel even more melancholy.

No one knows Daiyu's thoughts, and Baoyu is already happy for a new sister at this time.

Everyone in Xue's and Jia's family had seen it, and they were busy arranging the banquet to meet the wind.

When Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Baochai came out of Jiamu's room, Baoyu was already anxious to hide on Jiamu, clamoring for Aunt Xue's family to stay at home.

Jia's mother couldn't make trouble with him, so she had to send someone to talk to Mrs. Wang. It happened that Jia Zheng also sent someone to tell Mrs. Wang, "My concubine is already old, and my nephew is young and doesn't know the way of the world. I'm afraid that something will happen to us if we live outside. On the northeast corner of Shanglixiangyuan, a house with a dozen or so rooms is free, and I hurriedly cleaned it, and invited my aunt and brother. My sister lives very well."

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue both intended to ask Xue's family to live in Rongguo Mansion, but neither of them had time to speak. Now what Jia Zheng and Jia Mu said was exactly what they wanted, and they didn't even evade it at the moment. Should be down.

The people sent by Jia Zheng and Jia Mu had not yet left, so Aunt Xue asked them to express their thanks to Jia Zheng and Jia Mu, and said with a smile to Mrs. Wang: "Every day's fee will be waived, and it will be fine. normal law."

Mrs. Wang understood what she meant and agreed with a smile.

From then on, Xue's mother and son lived in Lixiangyuan.

It turns out that this Lixiangyuan was the place where Duke Rong rested in his old age.Small and exquisite, there are about ten houses, complete with front hall and back house.Another gate leads to the street, and Xue Pan and his family use this gate to enter and exit.There is a corner door in the southwest, leading to a narrow road.Out of the lane, it is the east courtyard of Mrs. Wang's main house.

When Chongyu came back from school, Xue's family was settled.

He found Daiyu in a hurry, and when he heard that Baoyu was arguing to let Xue's family live, his face darkened.

He didn't really doubt that Baoyu would do such a thing. In the original book, Baoyu went to Xiren's house, saw Xiren's aunt, and thought that it would be nice if he could stay at his own home.Now seeing such a dignified girl as Baochai, who is also a relative of my family, it is normal to make a fuss and hope to live in my house.

Chongyu was only worried that Daiyu would be unhappy because of this, and seeing that Daiyu's expression was indeed a little gloomy, he felt even more worried.

He has to go to school, so he can't stay with Daiyu all day long, but Baoyu has the grace of Jia Mu, and he hangs around with the inner curtain without being affected at all.He usually saw Daiyu and Baoyu playing around together, but he was worried that Daiyu would still fall in love with Baoyu after he kept saying to himself that a person like Baoyu was not worth spending more time with, and even less worthy of being entrusted to him for life.

He didn't know that what Daiyu was unhappy about now was that Baochai was healthier than her, and she had her mother by her side.

It is only because of Baochai, not Baoyu.

But Baochai has always been open-minded in his behavior and follows the time.She came to Rongguo Mansion and lived in Pear Fragrance Courtyard. She usually joked with some little girls, and got along better with them, and taught those little girls to praise Bao girl from Xue's family more than Miss Lin is better.

Daiyu became more and more depressed.

But Baochai didn't realize it. Every day, she was with Daiyu, Yingchun and other sisters, reading books, playing chess, doing needlework, or joking with the maids. sulking.

This Baoyu was also a child, but because of her stupidity and eccentric nature, she regarded her brothers and sisters as one, without any distinction between closeness and distance. Sit and lie everywhere and get used to intimacy.

But seeing that Baochai treats herself as just an ordinary sister, and sometimes Baochai seems to be more easy-going and friendly when joking with the maids, Daiyu becomes annoyed.

She didn't know why she was in such a mood, and she often heard Chongyu persuade herself, saying that with the Jia family and the Xue family playing around, we sister and brother will return to the Lin family sooner or later, and she is even more crazy.

Baochai has only come here not long ago, and she secretly sulks more than all the past combined.From the perspective of others, they feel that Miss Lin is more petite than she used to be, and she gets annoyed at every turn, for some reason.

Some days later, the plum blossoms in the garden of Ningfu in the east were in full bloom. Jia Zhen's wife, You Shi, prepared a special wine for Jia's mother, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others to enjoy the flowers.She first brought Jia Rong's wife Qin Shi Keqing to invite her.Jia Mu and others came over after breakfast and played in Huifang Garden.

Although it was a small banquet for the women's family members of Ning and Rong's mansions, Baoyu also accompanied her, but Daiyu became more sullen and felt unwell today, so she stayed in the room.

Today everyone went to the Ning Mansion, Daiyu was lying on the bed, not in the mood to read, and after drinking the medicine, she felt sleepy and hazy.

Suddenly someone laughed and said, "Xiao'er, you're being lazy here again."

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Baochai sitting beside her bed, looking at her with a smile.

Daiyu was startled, both happy and sad.

She likes Baochai to visit her, but she doesn't understand why she still feels uncomfortable.

Immediately, she barely stood up and asked with a smile: "Why is Sister Bao here? Isn't Ning Mansion busy? The sisters are all gone, and Sister Bao is not going to take a look?"

"That's where I came from." Baochai shook her hand, and looked carefully at her face, "I didn't see you here, so I asked again. I knew you were sick today, so I came to see you."

Daiyu lowered her head and sighed: "My body has always been like this, so there is no need to worry about it."

Just now Baochai's words about her being lazy came to mind again.

Before Baochai came, it was Li Wan who took their sisters to do needlework.After Baochai came, they lived together. Baochai seemed to take Li Wan's place, and did more needlework.

However, she is the least willing to do needlework among the sisters, or she is difficult to get up due to illness, or sleeps vaguely for a while because of insomnia at night, and even Jia Mu spares her morning and evening meditation.Now that she is more familiar with her sisters, she will inevitably be called lazy when teasing each other.

She wanted to change, but she couldn't, so she had to pay more attention in daily life.

"Is it true that no famous doctor can do anything?"

Daiyu glanced at her, and then became angry again: "You are naturally strong, how can you understand?"

Baochai was not annoyed, but just smiled and said, "The world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders, so there may not be some strange prescriptions that can cure your illness."

Daiyu sneered, and simply didn't answer.

Baochai was bored for a while, sat down for a while, and then left.

As soon as she left, Daiyu became even more sad. She just twisted her handkerchief back and forth and stared blankly at the door, as if expecting someone to come again.After watching for a while, there was still no movement, so she lay down and gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep again.

When Baochai came out from Daiyu, it was inconvenient to go to Ningfu again, so she turned back to Lixiangyuan and worked silently with her needle and thread.

It's just that she couldn't do it for long, so she put down the things in her hands and became stunned.

Her family had just settled here, and her elder brother Xue Pan was still not happy, fearing that his uncle would be cautious and make him feel uncomfortable.But his mother insisted on this, and the Jia family tried hard to persuade Xue Pan to stay, but he ordered someone to clean his house and prepare to move there.

But since Xue Pan became acquainted with Jia's nephew and nephew, he spent every day drinking, watching flowers and gambling with those dudes, and he became more and more able to do anything.

Lixiangyuan used to come and go freely, Xue Pan was more able to play with his children freely, and now he no longer mentions the matter of emigration.

Baochai felt that her elder brother had changed, and wanted to ask his uncle to restrain him more, but Jia Zheng was a man of many affairs, and his nature was unrestrained and free from mundane affairs. Whenever he had free time, he just read books and played chess, and didn't care about other things.Baochai looked at Jia Zheng even ignoring Baoyu not going to school and hanging around all day long, and gradually did not dare to expect Jia Zheng to restrain Xue Pan.

She seemed to treat her sisters like this on weekdays, but she secretly cared about Daiyu.

Firstly, they both lived in Jia's family, so they had some similarities; secondly, she knew that Daiyu's younger brother Chongyu was very good at studying, so he might be able to enter school earlier than Jia Zhu, a gifted scholar who died early in Jia's family.

Three times, she was too embarrassed to speak, and didn't even dare to think about it.

Long before going to Beijing, her mother had told her that her aunt intended to teach her to marry Baoyu, but it was a pity that there was Lin Daiyu in Jia's mansion, who was the closest to Baoyu.

Baochai is well aware of her family background.Since the death of his father, my elder brother was an incompetent man who only knew himself to be happy and didn't care much about business. Several businesses in Beijing had been consumed.The shelf of the Xue family has never fallen down, but the inside has gradually become empty.

She helped her mother take care of the housework, and she was more familiar with these things than Xue Pan.

She also knew that her mother hoped that she would marry Baoyu, in fact, she hoped to use this to teach the Xue family, Jia family, and Wang family to be closer, and to twist with each other so as to maintain this air.As far as historians are concerned, they have long since taught them not to care.

For this reason, although Baochai had no feeling for Baoyu, and even secretly dissatisfied with Baoyu's stubbornness, she could not speak out.

When she saw Daiyu for the first time, she saw Daiyu and Baoyu following Jia Mu from left to right. At that moment, she was reminded of a golden boy and a jade girl.

All kinds of mundane things are entangled, and for some reason, she thinks of Daiyu on the hospital bed, weak and prickly.

Daiyu's poor health is a big disadvantage.Now it is Jia's mother who hinders her marriage with Baoyu the most.But as long as Daiyu's health never recovers, Mother Jia doesn't want Baoyu to marry a sick child, does she?

Even Daiyu may not live to grow up.

When this thought came out, Baochai felt a sharp pain in his heart.

There are voices outside the door.

Baochai hurriedly picked up the needle and thread, and worked in silence, throwing away all her previous thoughts.
