The jade that pulls the red mansion is also crazy

Last time, we talked about Yinhu because Daiyu and Yinxiang sang together and joined forces to fight against him. He felt indescribably annoyed, as if he had knocked over a vinegar vat. He was very jealous, and he was used to fighting Yinxiang since childhood. Yes, I vowed to take Daiyu back from Yinxiang's hands, went back to Lingfengju, looked for an opportunity to get angry, scolded the little girl, stayed up all night, practiced knives, guns and sticks in the yard by myself, iron man wooden People, because they are not proficient and obsessed with practicing, hit their arms and elbows black and blue, without knowing it.

How do Daiyu and Yinxiang know this?The two of them originally couldn't see Yinhu's arrogance, so they gave birth to the same hatred. The so-called Jia Mu invited them to go, it was clearly an excuse that Daiyu made up temporarily, there was no such thing, wait for Yinhu Hu was annoyed and left, and the two changed their ways again. Yinxiang personally sent Daiyu back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, watched her enter the courtyard, and Fang went to Xiaojiuzhai to find Lin Long again, without further ado.

On the second day, Daiyu went to Jiamu and other places to greet Ann and came back. After a while, the girl said, "Miss Bao is here." Daiyu hadn't seen Baochai for a long time since Yinxiang punished her last time. When she said she was coming, she was a little surprised, and when she saw Baochai coming in, all dressed up and smiling, Daiyu had to get up and give up her seat to let the maids pour tea.

Baochai was as familiar with Daiyu as before, as if she had never had the same incident as before, and asked again earnestly about Daiyu's body, what she had embroidered recently, what books she had read, and other trivial matters, and chatted casually. , then smiled and said: "Sister, do you know, how about Ba Ye?"

Daiyu had expected that she had something to say, otherwise she would definitely not have come to her, so she said with a light smile, "I haven't had much contact with her, so I don't dare to talk nonsense. Why did my sister suddenly mention him?"

Baochai sighed with a smile, and said: "Where does this start? Yesterday, the eighth master suddenly asked a girl to tell me that he wanted me to be his big girl to serve him personally. He said that he was a girl, but in fact he often I don't care about everything, but I just help him take care of the trivial things in life and take care of the other girls. I don't really want to go, but what the eighth master says won't let me go. I have no choice but to agree first. I'm thinking about the eighth master and Lin My brother has a little relationship, and brother Lin may have told you about it, so I came to ask you."

Daiyu listened to a few words, and immediately understood in her heart: I said, it turned out that he climbed the dragon and came to show off to me.

After taking a sip of tea, she said with a smile: "If I tell my sister that Master Ba is not good, will my sister change her mind and not go?"

Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's not true. Anyway, Ba Ye didn't mention this to anyone else in the garden, he just told me. It can be seen that he is the best of me. Since Ba Ye With this heart, even if I don't want to, I definitely can't just sweep Ba Ye's face like this, knowing that such an opportunity, others can't get it even if they sharpen their heads, my sister said, right?"

Daiyu smiled, and said, "Since my sister has made up her mind, she came to ask me what I mean. Wouldn't it be unnecessary?"

Baochai said with a smile, "I'm just telling you something in vain, to make you happy for me." He lowered his head and patted his sleeves, smiling innocently, "According to all accounts, I am also a rich man. Miss, you shouldn't be a girl by someone's side, but after all, people can't just look at immediate interests, they should take a long-term view. Ba Ye was young, so he became Lord Belle, which shows that his scheming is not the same as others It's the same, at least it's not the same as those who are still elder brothers. With this kind of scheming ability, what unpredictable prospects will there be in the future? It's still uncertain. When I was young, a Taoist divination for me, saying that I will But the fate of being a concubine, maybe, this is a turning point." She pursed her lips and smiled, and a bean-like dimple appeared on her chubby face.

Seeing Baochai's happiness like falling into a honeypot, Daiyu just thought it was extremely funny, and even more so she sighed at her insistence on honor and disgrace. If you were a girl, if it were me, you would be the emperor in the future, but you won't be able to.

Then he smiled and said: "In that case, I would like to congratulate Sister Bao. I hope Sister Bao will get her wish as soon as possible and fulfill the Taoist's words and become a princess." With a faint smile, she said: "Sister Bao is very sorry to have such good news. It's time to waste time with me, it's time to tell everyone in the garden, so that everyone looks up to Sister Bao."

Baochai smiled triumphantly and said, "It's nothing serious. You don't have to make a lot of noise to let everyone know. Then you stay here, and I'll go." I have already announced it, and if there is a contingency, it will be bad if I can't enter the Lingfeng Residence, so I don't want to tell everyone first, but I can't help but show off to Daiyu, so that Daiyu will be jealous. Now that he finished talking and achieved his goal, he left casually and walked away with his head held high. When Daiyu saw this, she pursed her lips and smiled secretly, and said to walk slowly, without seeing her off.

But after about half an hour, Cui Lu from Xiangyun brought a stack of skirts to Daiyu and asked her to help her choose the best one. Seeing that there was no one else around, Fang smiled softly: "I told the girl, girl, don't tell others, the eighth master came to our girl yesterday, saying that he lacks a half-master in charge of all the girls, please Our girl is going tomorrow. Our girl doesn’t know what clothes to wear, so I’m here to ask her to help me choose. Our girl will go tomorrow.”

Daiyu was slightly surprised, and asked: "Are you girls going to Lingfeng Residence tomorrow?"

Cuilu nodded hurriedly, but Daiyu remained silent, looking at the dresses held by Cuilu, all of them were exquisitely embroidered, and she understood in her heart: the choice of dresses is just a pretense, and this is obviously another treasure.He sneered in his heart, felt a little impatient, pointed at one at random, and sent her away. He couldn't help being suspicious and wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Yinhu's gourd. Let him go, what do I care about.

Fearing that Xiangyun would come back later, I would be too noisy, so I asked the girl to feed the little birds, water the flower pots, etc., and wandered out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, with nowhere to go. Looking up unconsciously, I arrived at Xiaojiuzhai.

The door was wide open, and it happened that Lin Long was explaining something to the maids, striding out, Daiyu frowned, and was about to turn around and walk away, but Lin Long saw her, and hurriedly called 'sister'.

Daiyu stopped, Lin Long caught up with her a few steps, and said with a slight smile, "Are you still angry with me?"

Daiyu said, "Don't dare, how can I be worthy?"

Seeing that Daiyu was still angry, Lin Long knew that there was still a grievance in her heart, smiled wryly, and said: "If I had known the result now, I would definitely not have agreed to that matter back then. Make you sad."

Daiyu heard him complaining about herself so much, her heart gradually softened again, she looked at him quietly, but she hadn't seen him for more than a day, but she felt that he was mentally exhausted, and she seemed to be a few years older suddenly, with a smile on her face. , but there was a sense of desolation in his eyes that saw through the world, and he couldn't help feeling a little distressed. He had already dissipated the resentment in his heart, and said softly: "If you still say that you won't make me sad, look at yourself. I heard the girl said that you If I stay at home all day and don't say a word to others, if I continue to be so passive and self-defeating, I will be really sad."

This sentence was blurted out entirely out of my heart, but suddenly she felt something was wrong, so she blushed with embarrassment, turned her head away, Lin Long listened to Daiyu's soft words, her expression was sincere, her heart warmed up, she nodded and smiled Said: "You don't have to worry, brother Thirteen came yesterday and saw me slumped, he scolded me, and persuaded me again, I ignored it at the time, but now when I wake up and think about it, those words came from my heart, Nothing is unreasonable.”

He looked up at the sky, sighed secretly, and said, "No matter how much I torture myself, the dead are gone, and the living can only see them and feel sad. In this case, it's better to let go of the past and plan for the future."

Daiyu smiled, but a cloud of mist appeared in her eyes in an instant, and said softly: "This is the best. Now that it is like this, I can rest assured."

At this time, she realized that no matter what she was doing or saying at this moment, she was actually thinking of him alone. Sometimes she would be dubious and not sure, but it was true, just like in this short In a short period of one or two days, because Lin Long had something on her mind, and because she thought that he must be uncomfortable, when she was reading the book, her eyes would suddenly freeze between the lines, and as she was walking, she would walk in a daze to something she hadn't expected at all. One place, that's why when she heard that he finally let go of his sorrow and regained his strength, there was a kind of indescribable warmth and peace of mind that made her eyes wet with tears.

Daiyu turned around, picked off a leaf on a dead branch that was about to wither, carefully and slowly wrapped it in the veil, hoping for enough time for the wind to blow away the mist in her eyes.

Lin Long took a deep breath and said with a smile: "It seems like I've been in the house for a century, I haven't eaten with my sister for a long time, why don't we let the cook cook some delicious dishes, let's make a small cooking stove, shall we? "

Daiyu smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm hungry too, so that's good."

Lin Long smiled, and asked Daiyu what to eat. According to Lin Long's favorites, Daiyu ordered perch with pine nuts, fried and grilled fresh shrimp, jade monkey mushroom, and mountain strawberry fruit soup, etc. Lin Long called two maids , and asked to do as Daiyu said, and added three or four kinds of Jiangnan light food that Daiyu likes to eat. Daiyu smiled and said: "These things are so trivial, and the people behind will be troubled."

Lin Long smiled and said, "Those people, as long as we give them more money, they would rather cook [-] dishes."

There is a small and exquisite courtyard behind Xiaojiuzhai, Lin Long asked the girl to set up a table there, and after a while, a plate of cold vegetables and fruit was served first, Lin Long looked at Daiyu and smiled: "Why, it is indeed possible to make money God, right? If there is no such layer, they would be happy to make you wait." Then she added vegetables to Daiyu's bowl, and filled a small bowl of hot soup for her.

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Is everything going well when you go back this time?"

Lin Long frowned slightly, and said: "With me here, it will go smoothly, but there is one thing that makes me feel a little uneasy."

Daiyu then asked what was the matter, and Lin Long said: "I came back this time, although I paid close attention to everything, and others didn't have much to do, but I can always detect something from every thread, so I'm a little worried, I don't know why, but I always feel that the second elder brother is going back with me, and his mind is impure."

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, and said, "Second brother? What's on his mind?"

Lin Long smiled lightly and said: "Everything is just my suspicion, I can't do it right, we just have to keep an eye on it and it's over. You can see that although this mansion looks luxurious and rich from the outside, it is actually beyond the means inside. Concubine Shengqin's garden was even more damaged when she built the garden. I often watched coldly in private. The first one, the housekeeper's Feng girl, was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The old lady and the wives were coaxed very well. Do you know how many benefits you have earned secretly, and besides, the upper class is foolish and careless, only caring about enjoying life, while the middle class is corrupt and embezzling, filling their own pockets, and the bottom is dark and dark, everyone has their own minds, and no one is thinking about the big plans of this mansion. If things go on like this, the future There are days when they don’t take over, and it’s just now that we’ve seen the downturn, so we suddenly got this opportunity, I reckon, they probably didn’t think about it.”

Daiyu nodded, and said: "From this point of view, it is right for my brother to insist on us paying for our own expenses. I often see that they don't seem to be spending extravagantly, so I don't think it should be. It's just that there are many people who enjoy themselves, and there is only one planner. No, the things left to us by our parents, we can't let their schemes fail, and my brother doesn't have to worry, if they learn from the old tricks and come to ask Yu'er for money, I just don't want to borrow money. "

Lin Long shook her head and smiled: "If they borrow it openly, I will naturally have a way not to borrow it. I'm afraid that we will become fat in the eyes of everyone. If we get fatter, they will come up with other ways, especially for me. Worrying about you, you have always been simple and soft-hearted, and you are afraid that you will be hard-pressed against those schemes." He sighed.

Daiyu laughed angrily and said, "I'm not a child of three or two years old, so what can I do, besides, there is always a word of reason in the world. If I don't give it to me, will they still be able to grab it?"

Lin Long smiled and said: "If you have this perseverance and determination, I will feel relieved a little bit, you just remember one thing—" The latter sentence originally wanted to say "You just do what I say unswervingly." Turning around, he said with a smile: "Whoever treats you the best in the world, as long as you listen to him unswervingly, you will be right."

Daiyu couldn't hold back a smile, and blushed a little, lowered her head, holding the spoon, shook her head and said slowly: "I'm very dull, I don't know who is best for me."

Lin Long put her head on the table to look at her, and said with a smile, "You really don't know?"

Daiyu laughed angrily, "I don't know."

Lin Long thought for a while, nodded, and said with a smile, "It's really slow."

Daiyu raised her head, laughed angrily, stomped her feet and said, "Who are you talking about?"

Lin Long stared and said, "Hey, didn't you admit it just now?"

Daiyu was even angrier, so she took a small spoon to hit Lin Long on the forehead, Lin Long stepped back and dodged, Daiyu said anxiously: "If I don't hit you today, I won't live anymore." She chased after her, Lin Long was like a cat Flying around like flies, dodging around, smiling, yelling, the maids brought the food one by one, and when they saw the two fighting, they all stopped laughing, and Daiyu was out of breath for a while. , Lin Long hurriedly begged for mercy and pleaded guilty, and the two sat down to eat again, so there is no need to say more.

Not to mention here, today Baochai and Xiangyun are showing off with Daiyu that they will go to Yinhu's side, thinking in their hearts that Daiyu must be very jealous and like it because they will see Yinhu tomorrow, They all took out the best clothes, the most expensive hairpin jewelry, and on the second day, after careful preparations, they went to the Lingfeng Residence with a smile on their faces.

The two walked forward and backward, and Baochai went behind. Fang entered the yard and was doing her hair and clothes for the last time. Suddenly, she saw Xiangyun was there, talking to the little girl Moqiao at the moment. She was startled and thought dazedly. : Strange, why is she here?Immediately, hostility arose, and she walked over gracefully and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, Sister Yun is also here."

This Baochai was originally the best with Xiangyun, but since Yinxiang punished her, she saw that Xiangyun immediately distanced herself from her and got very close to Daiyu, and Xiangyun's words of praise for Daiyu made her faintly blown Annoyance arose in her ears and in her heart, and Fang explained her nature, and ignored her for a long time. Now that the two of them met on a narrow road, and the road between enemies was narrow, Baochai relied on the present and today, and she had already had good luck, so she didn't think much about Xiangxiang. Yun saw it in his eyes, so his speech was yin and yang, and the sisterhood was long gone.

Seeing her coming, Xiangyun was taken aback for a moment, and immediately burst into a bright smile like before, and said, "So it's Sister Bao, and Sister Bao's sores haven't healed, so why don't you take good care of her at home, and even ran to The yard of the Eighth Master is here? Could it be that Sister Bao asked Brother Xue to buy some good things that are 'hard to find through the ages' and bring them to the Eighth Master?"

Baochai sneered and said, "I don't have anything good to present, but Ba Ye personally invited me to come, so I dare not not come."

Xiang Yun was startled, and asked, "Eighth Master also called you here?"

When Baochai heard the word 'also', his heart moved, and he thought: Could it be that she is the girl that Eighth Master said to have already used?Because I first suggested to Ba Ye that we should compare poetry, essays, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting between the two of us. At this time, thinking that Xiangyun is also good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, he faintly increased his guard.

Na Xiangyun also vaguely guessed that the eighth master had intentions to keep one of them. Thinking of Baochai's dignified and graceful skills, he was very disturbed, and suddenly thought: I just want to If you compare, you may not be able to choose her. Look at her figure, it is as if swollen with water, bloated and fat, and her face is frighteningly white. Compared with the belly of a fish, how can Ba ​​Ye like her? ?Can't help but sneer.

At this time, Baochai was also thinking the same thing, because she thought: even if she is good at calligraphy and painting, so what?She still bites her tongue when she speaks, and her body has no front or back. It's just a layer of brocade clothes wrapped around a washboard. At best, she's just a yellow-haired girl who hasn't been weaned for a long time. How could Ba Ye like such a thing after he has experienced everyone?He also sneered.

Here, the two belittled each other from the bottom of their hearts, looked down on each other, and saw that the curtain was lifted, and each girl came out with leftover dishes, and they only moved a few chopsticks. Standing and waiting in the yard.

After another cup of tea, I saw the little girl running out, smiled at the two of them and said, "Ba Ye let you two in."

After hearing this, the two of them groaned and repeated their words. They both looked at each other coldly and snorted coldly in their hearts, both thinking: Let's see who can have the last laugh!
