Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Since he couldn't get out, he simply went to Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard. Before entering the door, he heard the hustle and bustle inside and couldn't stop. .

Inside, a few older maids, Xiren, Sheyue, Qiuwen, and Bihen were playing cards and eating melon seeds around the table, while Zhui'er, Jiahui, Zhuan'er, Chunyan and other small maids were sitting around the table. They were playing hide-and-seek in the yard, most of the noisy laughter came from their mouths, and there were a few people talking here and there sporadically.

Jia Lu carefully jumped over a pile of melon skins and husks, and secretly shook her head at the chaos in the Yihong Courtyard. She had never seen such a chaotic courtyard, and even she treated the subordinates with ease. Well behaved.

Xiren saw Jia Lu coming, so he hurried up to meet him, tidied up a clean stool, and invited Jia Lu to sit down, saying,

"It's rare to see the fourth girl come to our yard. Come on, please sit down. The little girls in our yard are a bit messy. Please take care of the fourth girl."

Jia Lu shook her head, sat down, and asked, "I don't know where Brother Bao went?"

Xiren replied, "I don't know, I went out early in the morning, I'm afraid it may not be sure which house I went to play, what's the fourth girl looking for him?"

As he spoke, he brought a plate of fruit and said, "Girl, come and eat some fruit."

Jia Lu declined and asked her to sit down, "I was just wandering around, I didn't look for him specifically, Sister Xiren, please sit and talk with us."

The attacker also sat down.

Jia Lu pointed to the girls in the yard, and asked, "Is this always like this in your yard?"

Xiren glanced at it and said with a smile, "It's not that Baoyu doesn't know that girl, she's the one who can get used to others. With him here, there will be no rest in this room."

"So, you don't care?"

Xiren shook his head helplessly, and said, "If we restrain them, Baoyu will be unhappy. If Baoyu is unhappy, it will be our fault. Let them do whatever they want!"

"Hmph! Is it Baoyu who is blocking it or is someone pretending to be good and someone doesn't want to care? Someone knows in his heart!" A charming and coquettish girl walked towards her, with willow eyebrows, slashed shoulders, and water snake waist, even in the blooming Yihong courtyard. It is also the only one in the middle, and with this spiky temperament, this is Qingwen.

Seeing Jia Lu sitting, Qingwen greeted her casually, and said, "Miss Si is free, so why are you taking care of our yard?"

When Jia Lu saw her open her mouth, she first satirized the attacker, and then said herself, and she only said a few words in total, and the hatred value was full.

Xiren had a good temper, so he tugged at her and said, "Miss Fourth is just wandering around, let's have a chat."

It's hot, Qingwen may have just rested, her temples are still messed up, she casually picked up someone's teacup on the table, and poured it with her head raised in two mouthfuls. She was originally a very charming woman, but there was something to say in her gestures. Jia Lu was stunned for a while, and shouted loudly,

"Get your pen and ink ready!"

Xiren was used to serving, so he went into the house to look for it after listening to the order, and after a while he packed up a set of Baoyu's usual painting utensils and came out.

Jia Lu tried it out, but it was not as good as her usual paints and paints, and the colors were not complete, but she could still use it. She spread out the drawing paper, dipped it in ink, and started to draw with the brush.

The girls who were playing in the yard saw Qiqi and gathered around one after another. They have always heard that the fourth girl is a master at painting, but they have never seen it before!

Half an hour later, Jia Lu put down the pen, rubbed her sore wrist, looked at the beauty in the painting and smiled with satisfaction, but heard the exclamation and discussion around her.

"It really looks like it! The painting is so good!"

"Exactly! It's so beautiful, I don't know if the fourth girl can draw a picture for me!"

"You think beautifully, and you don't look at your appearance. Can you compare with Sister Qingwen?"

"Exactly! Miss Si is not a portrait master on the street!"

......

Amidst the discussion, a slender hand stretched out, wanting to touch the beauty in the painting, but Qingwen grabbed it and scolded,

"You don't need to twitch your claws. You can touch the words of the fourth girl? Are there any rules? See if I don't smash your claws, and see if it dares to reach out?"

As she spoke, she was about to pull out the golden hairpin from her bun to poke someone. The girl who stretched out her hand was Xiaohong. She retracted her hands and said back,

"The fourth girl didn't say anything, but you are the one who has broken the rules. The fourth girl painted you, but the painting is not yours. What kind of master are you here to pretend to be?"

Qingwen was furious when she heard this, "You little hoof! How dare you talk back!" She was about to hit her.

Xiren saw that it was not good, so he stopped him quickly, saying, "Qingwen, you also stop, the fourth girl is still here, even if you want to teach the girl a lesson, you can't do it in front of the fourth girl!"

It's a pity that Xiren can't control Qingwen's violent temper, she still cursed and wanted to beat him, Xiren didn't know how to reply because of her clumsy tongue, it was Musk Moon who came forward at this time and scolded Xiaohong first.

"You little girl is not good, you have to look at the painting carefully, what kind of hands do you move, and sister Qingwen is your sister, you are good, dare to contradict her, no matter whether she is good or not, she has the right to discipline you , it's your turn to complain, come and apologize to sister Qingwen!" He said, pulling his ears and pulling her over.

He said to Qingwen again, "Sister Qingwen also calmed down a little bit, the fourth girl is still there, how can anyone teach others in front of the master, there is no such rule anymore! If you get out, you won't be able to win Good to go!"

At this time, Jia Lu also helped to say a few words, "It's not a big deal anyway, so let's stop for a while!"

I don't know whether Qingwen and Xiaohong felt that what Sheyue said made sense, or if Jia Lu opened her mouth, they stopped.

Seeing that Qingwen really liked the painting, Jia Lu made the decision and gave it to her. She was short of staff, and after Qingwen took the painting, she even restrained her temper a lot when facing Jia Lu.

Jia Lu took a look at Xiao Hong and felt that she looked very familiar, so she asked, "I wonder who this sister is? I always feel very familiar?" There are more than a dozen girls in Baoyu's yard, and Jia Lu doesn't come here often, so it is very familiar. Some girls don't recognize it.

Xiren introduced at the side, "Her original name was Lin Hongyu, but the word "yu" emphasizes the names of Baoyu and Miss Lin, so they all call her Xiaohong."

Jia Lu thought for a while and said, "Could it be that you are Lin Zhixiao's housekeeper's daughter?"

Xiaohong nodded, "Exactly! How did the girl know?"

"Then why aren't you at Sister Feng's place?" Jia Lu spit out.

Xiaohong glanced at her suspiciously, and said, "This servant has always been working in Second Master Bao's yard, and has never been to Second Grandma Lian."

This is inaccurate, this Xiaohong seems to be a couple with Jia Yun, and after the Dicuiting incident, she did a small favor to Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng saw that she was articulate and smart, so she begged her over. of.

Exactly!Jia Lu suddenly realized that she was there at the time, and that Xiao Hong had always sued Sister Bao, and Sister Bao was Sister Feng's direct cousin no matter what, so she lost her chance.
