Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

After breakfast the next morning, as expected, Sanchun and Daiyu's voices were heard outside, and after a while, Sister Feng and Li Gongcai were ushered in by the maids. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Let me see the good things that the empress has rewarded me." Then he pushed Ping'er: "I even brought one more person, so I have to eat a double portion to make it happen." .”

Baochai got up quickly to let everyone in, and said with a smile: "Since Brother Feng has let go, I have to give a branch to Sister Ping'er anyway." The son brought Baoyu and Xiangyun in together, and Baochai only pretended to be annoyed and said, "It's really a busy job! Wherever the girls gather, go and find him, no matter how good it is." Everyone laughed at her and said That's right, Du Baoyu didn't care about it at all, just ran towards the box of womb flowers on the table like a bee seeing nectar, and took out one by one, laid it out and judged with everyone: "The old ancestor said, I'm afraid you Qianhuaer got annoyed and started to fight and scratch his face, so he sent me to do justice."

These twelve palace flowers of four seasons flowers, three for each season, correspond to the flowers of these three months, they are different from each other, but they have no fragrance.Baochai thought for a while, then asked Ying'er to open the box and took out a pill of Lengxiang pill that she had put for a long time and didn't intend to eat.A ball was the size of a longan, and I only asked the little girl to bring a pestle, and it smashed into pieces with a pestle, and the dark fragrance spread out, like musk musk deer, cool and sweet, and like the agarwood of fast water. Take the fragrance of twelve months' flowers together in one place, and each person smells it differently again.

Baoyu leaned over and sighed helplessly: "What a pity! What a pity! My good sister, why don't you give up a pill and give me a taste?" Baochai smiled and asked the girl to rub the crushed medicine into twelve small balls again. Stuffed one by one into the lining under the palace flower, the flower is no different from the real one.Turning around, he took a step back and said to Baoyu, "Anyone can eat it, but you can't. This is a prescription given by someone when I was at home in the past. Who will eat it sooner or later, just make it a spice and use it up. How can you use it!"

At this time, Bai Lu led the women to bring up various fruit snacks, saluted and said: "Ms. Hui, this is made by the new chef of our restaurant. It is said that it has not been pushed out yet, but it is the master first." Let’s try something new, the shopkeeper’s special sender has just delivered it, and it’s still warm.” Saying this, he laid out the color storage box for others to take, Baoyu stopped staring at Baochai for the cold incense pills, and stretched out his hand to twist it. Eat and play with a three-color pancake shaped like a cherry blossom.

Because it wasn't long after breakfast, all the people gathered around to look at the Twelve Finger Palace Flower after tasting it briefly, and Tanchun said, "It's better to take Baoyu's ivory flower name stick, and whoever draws it will do it." I don't have any complaints about which one to take." Everyone said yes, and Baochai said: "If it's just a flower-named stick that is used by orders on weekdays, there is no need to ask people to run back and forth to get it. I also have a stick here, but It was the way my father asked outsiders to exchange gold for the old days, and the family couldn’t let go of it for a while, so they took it to the north.” As he said, he went to carry an ebony pen holder and brought it out, and inside it was a bucket of flower sticks that were bright yellow and golden.

Baoyu frowned slightly when she saw this, but fortunately she didn't dislike gold's vulgar words, but Qingwen, who followed him, said happily: "No wonder everyone praises that Miss Bao is a good-natured Buddha, and she can't be more considerate of servants. Good Tell me to run less, so that my legs won't get thicker!" Seeing this, Li Wan smiled and nodded at Baochai, saying, "It can be seen that those who are honest and honest must have the legacy of the elderly, and whoever used gold to make these things My son is just trying to make my younger daughter happy, and Bao girl must be filial and clever at home."

Immediately Baochai asked someone to set up a round table and came out, took out two dice and laughed softly: "I don't dare to let my ancestors and aunts know when I go back, I have to blame me for bringing you together and not doing well!" The others giggled and laughed. The host and guest sat down, and Ying'er stood aside and filled a box with dice and shook them. When she opened it, she saw that it was seven, and she counted to Li Wan's head. Once!"

Li Wan stretched out his hand to shake the flower stick with a pen holder and said with a smile: "It's a shame that girl Yun's mouth is actually unforgiving." As a stick fell down, Bai Lu picked it up and put it on Li Wan. In front of them, everyone saw that there was an old plum painted on it, with the words "Shuangxiao Hanzi" written on it. Ying'er took out the plum hairpin from the twelve palace flowers, and handed it to Li Wan who came with her. In the hand of Yindie.

Here is Li Wan who cast the dice, opened it and saw that it was five, and counted and counted Xiangyun. Everyone laughed, but Xiangyun was also a hero. He reached out to take the pen holder and shook it: "This pen holder is strangely heavy." It’s kind of falling into your hands.” Not long after, she pulled out a crabapple, on which was written: “Fragrant Dreams”, Cui Ling didn’t need Yinger to let her go, so she picked up a crabapple flower and put it in Xiangyun’s hair.

Next, the dice were thrown and it was Xichun's turn, which was Tumi; then Tanchun reached out and pulled one out, and it came out to be Xinghua; after that came Baochai, Ying'er pulled one for her, and everyone saw it. It turned out to be the peony with the words "Beautiful crown and beauty", and they all smiled and pointed at Ying'er and said, "It's amazing, this is such a compliment that your master will definitely want to wrap a golden box with you next year!"

Baochai smiled and took the palace flower, and then threw it to Daiyu. She also asked Zijuan to pick one for her, which turned out to be a lotus.Then came down to Yingchun to pick camellias, Sister Feng picked pomegranate flowers, and Ping'er picked osmanthus flowers.Sure enough, there were a few left, so Baochai gave a daffodil to the mandarin duck, a chrysanthemum to Jin Chuaner, and the rest to the other maids who followed.Everyone joked for a while, and suddenly heard the old lady Jia passing the lunch, so they all put the palace flower hairpins on their heads and walked to the main courtyard together.

Seeing the girls with all kinds of flowers on their heads, Grandma Jia clapped her hands and laughed and said to Amber beside her, "Remember to call the mandarin ducks to my storeroom to look through them. Those flowers and grasses in previous years have to be spoiled for nothing. , I rushed out before the Dragon Boat Festival and went to play with the girls, and the little girl's family only needs to wear some bright colors to be fresh."

When Baochai came back in the next afternoon, the housekeeper brought in a thrush and kowtowed happily: "Miss, the madam has sent a letter, and she really said that I went to Beijing with my uncle in early May. The examination in the grandfather's courtyard has passed, and now everyone outside has to say a word of respect." Xue Xiucai." Baochai was overjoyed: "Today there are too many good things. Those who are on duty in the yard will be rewarded with two months of silver, and those who are not on duty will be rewarded with one month. In addition, let Yinger and Bailu go to the old lady and wife. Good news, please ask the housekeeper to tell the rice shop to give up some rice and grain to the orphanage and the charity bureau, and let him transfer the money to our restaurant to avoid the bill for three days, and invite the chef to come to me in the evening to express his troubles Furthermore, I took the scriptures copied by the maids and donated affordable cotton cloth to the surrounding temples as alms, just for the safety of the whole family."

Immediately, the whole yard boiled up, everyone had smiles on their faces, and the wind was blowing under their feet.Sure enough, after a while, the chef was invited. Mother Su stood behind Baochai, and the mothers-in-law hurriedly lifted up the screen. Baochai sat sideways behind the bead curtain and whispered softly: "Trouble master!" It's been a tough three days being in charge of the spoon. Because my elder brother really worked so hard to get such a scholar, I congratulate him. No matter who comes from the south or the north, as long as he comes in safely, he will be a door-to-door visitor, and he is easy to take care of After a while, there must be a good thing with a cost to thank you."

Standing outside, Shen Yu only felt that this girl was interesting.She probably heard the voice early on, and taking this opportunity to call herself in, she probably meant nothing more than annoyance.It is rare for this girl to be the director of the family before leaving the boudoir, and she is still young and full of courage, which is quite surprising.He clasped his hands together and said, "Miss Bing, it's nothing to worry about. Even if we make a living in this way, we will benefit from it. We won't turn our backs if we take things."

It's a bit strange to say this, others only think that the cook is showing his loyalty.Over there, Baochai has already understood that there will be no good for Jin Yiwei to come to the door, but if he polishes his tricks and listens to his words, he will not end up in trouble when the Dongchuang incident happens in the future.It is expected that a boss his size will not be able to deceive himself a weak girl, and even if he deceives himself, so what can he do with the Xue family?It's because the arms can't beat the thighs, it's better to plan early, it's a hundred times better than resisting to the end and being strict in the end.In rebirth, I just want to be safe in everything.

When the calculation was finished, Baochai served the tea ceremony: "In this case, you should go to work first, and you will have to turn around and thank you. There is only one, and the reward will not be available for a while. It needs to be settled after my mother and brother go to Beijing." Tell him to take it with him." Shen Yu bent over and cupped his hands outside and said, "It's okay, I have many brothers. It depends on how the girl arranges it, but just say it." After finishing speaking, she resigned and walked out. Then he ran to the Wujin mansion on the edge of the imperial city.

When he got into the house, Shen Yu yelled loudly and softly, and it was Liu Zian who came out and responded with a smile: "Well, you fellow, you came to make noise in the court again, and I will let you eat." One time." Shen Yu didn't bother with him, so he just pulled someone to sit down and said, "Then Xue's daughter really knows something, maybe there is something terrible in the hands of Xue's family, you just sent spies down to escort her all the way." Xue's mother and son brought them into the capital, and we will find a way to dig them out later."

After hearing this, Liu Zian scratched him up and down and said in surprise: "This co-authorship is not the way you used to do things. She is a girl who lives alone in a relative's house. She wants to get it out, record her statement and take evidence by your means." Wasn't it easy? Why did you suddenly become so sympathetic this time? Did you say you had other intentions!" Shen Yu impatiently pushed the face he leaned towards: "Don't interrupt me, she is an innocent girl from a good family Hey, it's not a criminal who committed a crime, since he has already vomited and is willing to cooperate with us to get things out, why bother to force him to death?" Liu Zian just had a narrow face, and said "tsk tsk" in his mouth: " I don't know what kind of beauty that daughter of the Xue family is, and she has taken away the soul of our Lord Shen. I will have to take time to look at it next time I go to the palace to do business. Hey, no, the list of servants is selected There seems to be no word Xue in it, how annoying!"

Shen Yu rubbed his chin and said, "Anyway, let the brothers go and keep an eye on the Xue family's mother and son for me. It's better to have some clues than to have nowhere to start now. By the way, does the inner court have any clues?" Is there any news coming?" Liu Zian approached him and said, "There is a female official next to the queen who has uncovered an old case, and it is also somewhat related to the former prince. The people we arranged were too late to stop him. , maybe the decree of concubine concubine will come down in these few days. Even Jin Yiwei doesn't believe in the one above, and the princes are getting bigger and bigger," he stretched out his palm and gestured for "five" With the other hand, he made a gesture of "three", and continued after a pause: "In the early morning, the lord of the household department was holding a pillar and was about to hit it. He said that there was a lot of rainfall in the south this year, so he had to rush to repair the river. As a result, the state treasury is waiting for the rice to be cooked, and it is really impossible to get it out, and it is still making trouble."

After hearing this, Shen Yu rubbed her hands and said, "What background does that female officer have?" Liu Zian patted his thigh: "Oh! Speaking of which, the female officer is somewhat related to this daughter of the Xue family, and her mother is related to this Xue. The widows of the family are the sisters of the Wang family of the older generation, so they should be cousins?" Shen Yu then replied: "Four princes and eight princes, even the Xue family in Jinling and the Zhen family in Jiangnan, which one is not an old relative? Whatever they say Everyone has some relatives, so there is something worth mentioning. I'm going back to work, you must remember what I just said, and don't forget it!" After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went out.

The conversation is divided into two parts, the Rong Mansion just had a happy event with a relative who got the background of the imperial examination, and the Ning Mansion in the east suddenly came to the door in white clothes in the middle of the night and knocked on the cloud board three times.The old lady was so panicked that she thought something was wrong, she hurriedly got up and asked, it turned out that it was Jia Rong's daughter-in-law over there, the Qin family who was called Xiao Rong's grandma died suddenly.When the mourner was sent out, Jia Murong sat for half an hour before she said to the mandarin duck and amber who came to persuade her, "I know she is a very proper person. She is graceful and delicate, gentle and peaceful in her actions. She is a great-grandson." The first daughter-in-law who is proud of herself. In terms of being loved by others, Brother Feng is not as good as her, and just yesterday he said that he was just sick, why did he suddenly die?"

While he was in a daze, another mother-in-law came to report in a panic that Baoyu had learned the news of Qin's death from nowhere, and Dang even spurted out a mouthful of blood, crying and complaining of chest pains. Come to discuss.The old lady Jia heard that she was burning inside, she hurriedly opened the makeup box, took out a sign and handed it to Yuanyang, saying: "Take it and ask for an offering, go and come back quickly." The cape ran out, and it only took a moment to invite the doctor Zhang who was on duty to come over.After a lot of tossing, it was only when the sky was twilight that they could barely settle down.

The imperial doctor Zhang came out with the medicine box, and the mandarin ducks guarding the outside immediately came forward to inquire, the imperial doctor just smiled and said: "Brother is fine, it was caused by a sudden rush of qi and blood, and when you spit it out It's better than being in the heart, I'm awake now, and I'm changing clothes by myself." While talking, he saw that Bao had changed into plain clothes and was yelling to go to the East Mansion to worship.Jia Mu refused to say: "there are people who have just died over there. How can they get there when they are the most unclean?" It is necessary to turn around immediately.

When the sky was bright, even Baochai's Lixiangyuan got the news, and it was inevitable that Dianyi ordered someone to follow Daliu to send it there, and then he gave up.The servants of Jia's family were loose-mouthed. It is inevitable that Madam Su had already learned about Qin's tricks from the wives, and immediately stopped Baochai from going: "No matter how high she is, she only commits "prostitution." There is no turning back in the word. It is also a vigilance with the girls, standing upright and not afraid of ghosts and monsters. If she is clean, she will not die inexplicably like she is now." Later, I heard that there was a big one that night. The maid Ruizhu bumped her head to death and was buried, the other maid Baozhu shaved her hair and went to the Tiekan Temple to watch the spirit.

On the second day after Qin's death, Daiyu suddenly became ill with a fever. The symptoms were fierce and violent, and the audience shook their heads in silence, as if she was going to be ill at such a young age.Jia's mother was afraid that Baoyu would be angry with her illness, and the yard was full and she couldn't find a place to put her for a while. Her maid Xueyan knocked on the door of Lixiangyuan to Yang Baochai: "I just ask for a room far away for our girl to recuperate." , Every day in the Bisha closet is like a bombing camp, and there have been several rounds of tossing about Grandma Xiaorong in Dongfu."

When Baochai got the letter, she hurriedly took Madam Su to find Mrs. Wang and said, "I don't want to worry about reasoning, but right now the whole family is busy with Grandma Xiaorong, so I can stretch out my hands to help the old lady and the lady." It's also good to share your worries. I don't know when Miss Lin's illness will be cured. Why don't you move her to my place to take care of her? It doesn't look like that either."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed and said, "My son, it's hard for you to be so magnanimous, considerate, filial, and reasonable. I thank you on behalf of the old lady and your brother Bao." Then she took Baochai to see Jia Mother, after a while, several women helped to pack up the things and sent Daiyu, who was seriously ill, to Lixiangyuan.

Xueyan was so angry that she burst into tears, stood at the door of the Bisha cabinet with red eyes and cursed, Zijuan was afraid that she would offend the old lady, so she hurriedly dragged her away.The two hurried over with Daiyu's body in their arms, and when they got there, they saw that Baochai had ordered someone to clean and arrange the room to wait. Daiyu was sleeping peacefully on the bed, while Madam Su and Ying'er sat aside to watch.

"Miss Bao, I've kowtowed to you!" Xue Yan knelt down crisply, her head clattering on the stone slab.Baochai hurriedly asked Bailu to help her up and persuaded her: "Although your girl is a dangerous emergency, if you take care of it quietly, you may not be able to bring it back. Everyone knows that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. Sister Lin will have a long-term blessing." " Said and called the mother-in-law to invite a well-known doctor in Beijing to come and take the pulse, asked about the symptoms and took care of prescribing the medicine, and then let the little girl go out to buy the medicine and boil it, only three or five doses The fever subsided, but the person was still groggy.

The author has something to say: Here is the timeline to explain. During the period of Qin Keqing’s death, there is a line in the original book, “Daiyu has gone home.” When it reappears, it is about her becoming an orphan completely. At the same time, Lin Ruhai died.Here she wrote a letter home, but she didn't go back, it's a different place.
