Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

"I don't know what it is. It turned out that I didn't eat wild rice soup and sea bass. Tomorrow, I must prepare a few more at the banquet, so that you can eat enough. Why bother thinking about water shield and sea bass. If you cry badly Won't Aunt Min and Uncle Lin worry about you?" As he was talking, he waved to Zijuan and said, "Aren't you boiling medicine outside? Why don't you hurry up and look at it!" Zijuan was startled and hurriedly blessed Fu and went out, Xue Yan also went out to ask for hot water to make tea.Then Baochai turned her head and continued to say to Daiyu: "I know you must have other things accumulated in your heart. Don't take it out on yourself. Why bother. If not, you will only be with Lin It's better for my uncle to write a letter to ask how to make a decision than to feel sorry for myself."

Daiyu said in a soft voice: "I only brought Xueyan and Wang Momo with me when I came to my grandmother's house. This morning and evening, the mother-in-law has been pointing her nose and scolding for nothing, begging someone to come here just for something trivial. I didn’t want to be hated to death when I ran to deliver the letter, and I was afraid that my father would worry about me, so forget about it.” After speaking, he coughed violently again.Baochai took the sputum box for her and then reached out to pat her on the back. She was surprised that the girl was so thin that her spine was hurting her hands, and suddenly she felt pity: "You write it, depending on its distance, my family There is a merchant who is ready to go to Yangzhou to buy. I quietly sent a letter from home. First, I will let Uncle Lin know that you have a deep love for your father and daughter. Second, it will also solve your current predicament. , wouldn’t it be good?” She pointedly looked up at Zijuan who was boiling medicine outside, then pouted at the other half of the green gauze cabinet, Daiyu blushed immediately.

"Good sister, I only know that you are always silent and hidden in your heart, and you don't know that you just see through and don't tell the truth, but today you can see clearly what is good or bad! I just ask my sister to save me. Others are different." As he spoke, his sobs gradually started, and his eyes turned red again.Baochai has nothing to do with her. Some people are born with deep tears, and it is useless to be anxious, so they can only comfort them with words: "In that case, after the banquet tomorrow, you can go to my place and sit for a while, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all gone. It's all ready, and the girls have playmates who won't bother you, just think carefully and write a letter. After you write it, you can send it out with the caravan going south, and it will be in the hands of Mrs. Lin with only a small amount." That Daiyu hadn't heard such kind words for a long time, she choked back her tears and nodded, but finally felt embarrassed.

Seeing her disheveled temple hair, Baochai pointed to her bun with a smile. Daiyu got up and looked at the bronze mirror, pursed her lips and blushed.She went to open the dressing box and took out a comb. Baochai took it and gently helped her brush in the broken hair. After looking around again, she nodded and put down her hand: "Okay, no matter how unhappy you are, you can't bully yourself. Take a good wash and change your clothes, you can’t just think that there’s no one here and you’ll just come back, maybe you’ll come back on a whim.” Just as Xue Yan came back from fetching hot water from the outside, he was carelessly making tea. Chai stopped her and asked Ying'er to help fetch water to help Daiyu wash and change her clothes, comb her hair, and adjusted the curtains before opening the window lattice.The gentle breeze blowing in the scent of flowers from the courtyard brought a room full of fragrance, Daiyu then pursed her lips and smiled: "Tomorrow I have to visit my sister, if there is such a real sister, I will also..." She said unexpectedly There were some teardrops about to burst the embankment, so Baochai hurriedly stood up and changed the subject: "Will you go to the yard? I heard that you don't always have an appetite. Maybe you can eat more if you are tired from walking a little. Sleep soundly at night."

At this time, Zijuan came in with freshly brewed medicine from the outside, after hearing this, she hurriedly handed the medicine bowl to Xueyan for her to serve the medicine, then opened the closet by herself and found a plain cloak that looked like a raccoon. waiting.Daiyu took the medicine and picked up a piece of candied fruit to swallow. Then she got up and put on her cloak and went out side by side with Baochai.

The two of them didn't go any further, they detoured through the Moon Gate and headed towards the colorful peach blossom forest on the hillside.At this time, the flowers are falling and it is the season of returning to spring, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of petals.Daiyu took pity on the fallen flowers, and walked slowly along the small path with few petals. Baochai helped her up, and walked around the peach tree through the flowers and willows.After walking for a long time, Daiyu became a little unstable. Baochai quickly found a clean white stone to help her sit down: "It's almost done today. I'll go back after a while. If you have nothing to do, go to my place." For fun, do needlework and read the book, and if you want to eat, just tell me, they say Suhang Huaiyang cuisine is exquisite and delicious, I have never seen it before, thanks to you, I will open my eyes."

Daiyu pointed at the fallen flowers on the ground with a smile and said, "It would be ruined for these flowers to fall into the mud. Why don't you collect them and bury them in one place, lest they get stuck in the mud and become innocent..." Baochai knew what she was thinking. It's delicate, but I didn't persuade it much, just got up and helped gather the pink, white and light red in a pile, dug a shallow hole with a flower hoe, pushed it in, and covered some soil on it.Daiyu stared dazedly at the hidden Luohua, tears dripped from her eyes again, sobbing for a while, she said, "I'll make a special trip to sacrifice it some other day, so let's go back." The two walked back together, Baochai said goodbye and went back to Lixiang Courtyard, this day is over.

Ying'er followed Baochai all the way back, complaining inwardly, "This Rongguo mansion is also the mansion of the minister. How can we bury and weed out people like this? The grandson and grandson are raised together. It's really not particular." Baochai She didn't turn her head back, she just said softly: "It's all poor people, it's good to stretch out your hand a little bit, if we don't have a difficult time in other years, we will have more good karma and a way to survive. "

This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.On the second day after arriving, there was indeed a banquet by the lake outside Jiamu's main courtyard. Baochai asked Bailu to distribute the money the first night, so today the big kitchen is especially hardworking.All kinds of delicate and novel dishes come in an endless stream, and sometimes there are a few desserts or soups made of flower petals; Have fun.As expected, the water shield soup and braised perch that Daiyu cared about were also served, and instead of her usual appearance of ridiculing others, she sat quietly on the table and ate while thinking about what she needed to say to her father in the letter.

She is quiet here, but others are not necessarily honest.Baoyu rolled in Mrs. Wang's arms and ate a piece of peach blossom cake, and then sipped beside Jiamu to drink soup made of small gardenias, cherries, peaches and other flowers made by green noodle fish. He fluttered up and down like a butterfly.Shi Xiangyun, the niece and granddaughter Shi Xiangyun, who Jia Mu just picked up from her mother's house today, was joking beside her, chirping, croaking, croaking, and she hadn't stopped talking since she sat down.However, the two of them always stick together, and Baoyu moves towards Daiyu, and Xiangyun moves towards her, but Daiyu thinks they are making a fuss and then moves towards Baochai, and finally Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun also move towards each other. Seeing Jia's mother clapping her hands together, she kept laughing and said: "We are so upright, we like to see these energetic little girls together. In this way, we will go to the hall and arrange for the daughter-in-law to come and order some Qingqu The sons sang, let their old wives and sisters serve, and the little girls let them eat wine, compose poems and play tricks."

The maids and women immediately set it up, spread soft quilts, picked up a few boxes of delicate and sweet snacks from the banquet, and put them on the low table. Eight-treasure tea, almond soup, lotus seed tea, etc. were taken at will.Sister Feng came over and accompanied Jia Mu into a Guanglu by the lake. The daughter-in-law played the pipa and sang slowly, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang hurriedly followed to serve.The young girls at the banquet immediately loosened the spell, only Li Wan brought a few big maids to guard against accidents, while the others scattered in twos and fours to play around the lake.

Tanchun got up here and called a few maids who were close to him to find many flowers and plants and gather them in one place to fight grass.This one said: "I have Guanyin willow", that one said: "I have podocarpus", that one said: "I have gentleman bamboo", this one said: "I have canna"... and so on for fun; A few girls followed Baoyu into the flowers and picked a huge basket of petals, and came down with Xiangyun in the room to grind out the juice to wash out rouge for fun; Wan sat on the side and commented, all kinds of things couldn't be generalized.

After the banquet was over at noon, Baochai invited the girls to sit in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard together. The crowd simply went around the veranda and walked through the moonlight door to have fun.Surrounded by vanilla outside the Pear Fragrance Court, the young man opened the corner door and frowned when he saw Baoyu falling behind: "Brother, why are you here again? It's not easy to entertain men here..." While tugging, I saw mandarin ducks coming from behind He rushed over and pulled Baochai and said, "Good girl, the old lady said that Baoyu is still a child. I am happy because I have a better relationship with my sisters today. I go to your yard to drink tea and rest. Don't stick to the relationship between inside and outside. Don't, since your sister-in-law Zhu is here anyway, you can't miss Daple."

Helpless, Baochai didn't expect this person to follow him after being rejected earlier, and to live in someone else's house, and he had to give old lady Jia some face if he didn't give face to anyone, so he pinched his nose and nodded to signal the boy to let him go.That Baoyu didn't know how to look at people's faces, so he squeezed in and just climbed closer and said, "My dear sister, next time I know that I have to find my ancestors to pick up Sister Yuanyang first when I come to see you. It's too difficult for you to get through the door." .”

Ying'er took a wrong step and stopped in front of Baochai, smiled and turned her hand to gently push him to Xiren who was clasping her hands and laughing with her, saying: "Second Master Bao seems to have eaten a few more cups, please trouble sister Xiren to wait in the wing room Take a rest and sober up." Everyone laughed and interrupted, and this page was finally turned.Seeing the colored thread on the embroidery frame, Tanchun couldn't help but reach out and pick up a strand of azurite and rub it a few times: "It's rare to have all the colors of embroidery thread here, and many of them have never been seen before. Most of the things bought and sent in are It’s not working, and I still have to ask people to take silver and go out to change it.”

Baochai smiled and opened the chest of drawers and took out a box for everyone to see, which was neatly packed with embroidery threads of various colors: "This is the thread specially prepared by our shop in Jinling. And don’t love it, it’s very popular. No, I also ordered them to send some over. If I like it, I can take it. It’s all my own business, and there’s no need to throw it away, just use it.”

Tanchun couldn't put it down and touched it: "In this case, I will miss your good things, and I will ask the servant to return you a pair of paintings later." Baochai ordered Yinger to distribute the embroidery thread boxes according to the number of people. , and prepared an extra one and gave it to Xiren who was guarding Baoyu: "Sister Hardworking, our girl thank you for taking care of Second Master Bao." Come over to see it, and said happily: "Several girls over there complained that the thread was not good. In the past, they joked that it was their own clumsiness. Now, after seeing the good stuff here, I realized that the thread is useless. Come on. If you go back and tie the flowers so that they don’t come true, then there’s no excuse.”

It's okay for others to hear this, but Xiang Yun, who was a seat away from him, was not happy: "For the needle chisel, one depends on kung fu and the other depends on talent. For example, some people look dumbfounded when they pick up a needle." , even if it's a golden silk and jade thread, ten fingers are like a mallet, and they can't make a good one; He didn't even see a purse." Hearing this, Yingchun didn't like it, and quickly pointed to the half-finished work on the embroidery shelf: "Miss Bao, is this an embroidered statue of Master Guanyin?"

Baochai took her words and went on: "That's not true, because it's difficult to manage in filial piety when I was born this year, my mother said that embroidering such an embroidered portrait of a great man will be a meritorious deed in the future." One thing, right should be the meaning of cherishing blessings." As he spoke, he walked over and turned out a notebook: "These are some tricks I drew when I have nothing to do, just so you can help me to read the details." Yingchun pulled Li Wan to read it together, Tanchun and Xichun turned out two sets of chess pieces and started playing.After everyone played for a while, Xiangyun suddenly said again: "Third sister, didn't you always say that you want to start a club to write poems in the past? Why didn't you start a club this time? Baba'er came here to do these things again. I stay at home in the middle of the night every day, and I really don’t want to do it.”

Daiyu sneered suddenly from the side: "Isn't this diligent and clever? Don't you want to do more to make your name last forever." Pazi walked out, yelling as he walked: "Everyone else is a daughter of a thousand gold, but I am a commoner girl. I can't even say a word, my heart is smaller than a cow's hair!"

Baoyu hurriedly got up and bowed to Daiyu a few times, begging her not to stand up, and then ran out with Xiangyun, pulling people around and coaxing her.The hall was quiet for a while, Li Wan led Sanchun to get up and said goodbye: "Miss Bao must be tired today, let's go on our own, so we can take a rest! Congratulations to your brother, I will see you in the future Young master scholar!"

Baochai sent them out with a smile, turned her head and nodded at Daiyu with a suppressed smile: "You, if you don't forgive anyone, you will embarrass girl Yun, and she will not be nice to you if you keep doing this. It's gone." Daiyu pouted her mouth and said, "No one is as friendly as she is anymore, and she has to step on and pull each other during her actions. Who doesn't know." She stuck out her tongue and said, "Good sister, please forgive me. What happened to me, I don’t dare to do it again.” Baochai poked her forehead: “Go, Dongjian’er is the study room that I often use at home, and I’ll go back after writing a letter, and Zijuan, I’ll ask her to paint flowers with Ying’er.” went."

Daiyu sat down and laid out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write slowly, while Bailu watched over and poured water for the tea, and Baochai came out to watch Yinger and Zicuckoo match the colors on the pattern.About half an hour later, Bai Lufang sent Daiyu out, Zijuan hurriedly followed to the door when she saw it, lifted the curtain and Daiyu was not in a hurry to go out, turned around and said goodbye to Baochai, and then left.

After Bailu sent him out of the Pear Fragrance Garden, he was blessed and said: "Miss Bing, Miss Lin's letter has already been handed over to the second master to take out, why do you think so differently of Mrs. Jia's granddaughter? I Seeing that this girl is very thin, she doesn't seem to have a lifespan."

Baochai shook the round fan in her hand and said: "It's nothing more than sympathy for each other. She needs someone to help her more than I do. How can I bear seeing a good human life filled in for nothing? Anyway, it's just a matter of convenience, so there is no need to worry about it." Too much." Then he turned back, changed his clothes, went to bed and rested.

On the other side, Xiangyun asked Daiyu to stop him and ran out to get angry. Baoyu hurriedly chased him out and took a lot of effort to coax him back.When I went back to the Bisha cabinet in the evening, when Zijuan sent out the used bowls and chopsticks, Baoyu hurriedly stopped someone to wink and asked, "Sister Lin, did you ever get annoyed? Sister Yun was just an inadvertent mistake, and she never made any allusions to her." Besides, wouldn’t it be more pitiful for Sister Yun to lose her parents? You should try to persuade her sooner or later, so as not to hurt the friendship between the sisters.”

I don't want this to make Xueyan, who was chasing out with a lantern at the door, listen attentively, and immediately doesn't want to get up: "So that Second Lord Bao knows that the truth in this world is not that whoever is more pitiful should stand on the side of the other. The teaser is cheap, what else can we say if we are blocked by others? Could it be that our girl is a Buddha, and we have to give way when people choke on the face? Besides, with the willingness of such a good-tempered girl like Bao Forgive me, that's other people's business, and I don't force anyone to let anyone go!" In the past, Xueyan said that Daiyu would stop her, but now she just hid in her room and ignored her. Ignore it, and close the gate, and even Baoyu is blocked from the outside.

She thought clearly in her mind, seeing her grandmother blindly indulged Baoyu's behavior in her actions today, if things go on like this, troubles will inevitably arise, how can her innocent daughter's family be willing to ruin her reputation by being so muddled?Seeing that Baochai didn't want to live in Jia's house for a long time, I was afraid that the day when his widowed mother and elder brother came to Beijing would be the day when he would return home, what would he do then?It is a must to write a letter to state your interests to your father. At worst, the father and daughter will return to their hometown for a reunion. Even if they eat bran and swallow vegetables every day, it will be better than today's people pointing their noses and shouting.In the past, because he was a sojourner, he swallowed his anger. If he made up his mind to leave Jia's mansion, who would take this historian seriously!The plan was made, and my heart suddenly became brighter, and the depression that had been stagnant for several days disappeared, and I fell asleep after washing up, which was a rare sound sleep.

Only Jia's mother heard about the scene that happened again today, and there was nothing but a long sigh.

The author has something to say: if you finish it early today, you have to do it earlier!
