Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

After all, Qingwen got the egg custard she wanted, but she didn't like it for a while. She took the food box back to the Bisha cupboard and threw it on the table without eating it.In the evening, Baoyu came back from the outside and saw a food box made of wenge wood on the table. When he went to open it, he saw that there was a bowl of cold custard inside. The Xiren who came out to meet him stopped him and said, "Don't dare, how can you eat something that's too cold? Be careful, your stomach will hurt later!" Qingwen just heard the noise and came out from the inner room. When she saw it, she continued: "Second Lord I’m not at home today, so I went to the big kitchen to ask for it myself. The Liu family’s is very annoying. I’ve been talking about it for a long time and it’s still not delivered. I just did it. I wanted to smash the bowl directly in the face of the Liu family, but I also thought that it was Miss Bao’s favor, so I reluctantly picked it up and threw it there, and I didn’t want to eat it.”

Baoyu felt even more regretful when she heard this, and said: "Since Sister Bao ordered it by name, it must be very delicious. I used to go to find her to play, but I always asked that black-faced and black-mouthed nanny to stop me." I hate that they are not from our family, otherwise my ancestors would have kicked them out a long time ago." As Baochai said, he thought of Daiyu: "I don't know how sick Sister Lin is. I missed the day in Dongfu and came back. At that time, Sister Lin had already moved to Lixiangyuan, and we never saw each other again." As he said that, he was about to get up and run to Lixiangyuan, how could Xiren be willing?

On that day, Daiyu was so burned that she lost consciousness all of a sudden, and the women who had lived for many years said that it was probably a seasonal epidemic.Even the old lady panicked, distressed, worried, and afraid that what would happen to Baoyu if the epidemic really passed, but Miss Qiaobao heard about it and came to pick him up, and then she went clean.Now it’s okay to bring up this matter again. No one dared to let Baoyu pass without seeing Daiyu Da’an. If he came back, he would be damned if he came back with a headache and brain fever. He stopped people with good words and good words: "It's so late, you don't have to knock on the door when you go to Pear Fragrance Garden, and Miss Bao doesn't necessarily see you if you knock on the door, and even if Miss Bao sees you, Miss Lin may not be well. Miss Lin is not well yet, if you want to come Rest is the most important thing, why do you rest when you go? Why don't you wait for Grandma Xiao Rong to go out of the funeral in a few days, and then wash with grapefruit water before going, so as not to make Miss Lin even more ill."

After Baoyu heard this, she came to peace. After walking around the room, she asked for a plate of fresh cherries from outside. It's just a sigh of relief.

Here, Baochai ordered Yinger to carry the food box back to Lixiangyuan. Afraid that the things in it would get cold, she asked her mother-in-law to wrap them in cotton pads and put them there. She went over to take a look at Daiyu herself.Because she was thinking of the patient's happiness, she didn't come here very much in the past, but now she heard that she was about to wake up, so she came to see it, which can be regarded as a reassurance for herself.Everyone knows that Miss Daobao is kind, but who knows that she is really sympathetic to each other.Anyway, I still have a mother and elder brother. The sister of the Lin family will become an orphan in these few months, and life will be even more difficult in the future. Why bother to embarrass her?

I remember that Daiyu had already returned to Yangzhou during this time in her previous life, and when she came back, she was wearing a severe filial piety.For this reason, my aunt's nose was not her nose and her eyes were not her eyes for a long time, and she finally moved Baoyu out of the green gauze cabinet before she stopped.It's just why I didn't hear that there was any intention to pick up people over there this time?Could it be that something happened to the previous letter?Wishing is a good thing.

She walked and thought, when she arrived at the side courtyard where Daiyu lived, she saw Xueyan squatting outside and staring at Yao Diaozi.Xueyan noticed that someone came in from the outside and tilted her head to see that it was Baochai, so she hurriedly got up and blessed her: "Miss Bao is here."

Baochai walked over and nodded: "Is this the doctor's new prescription?" Xueyan replied: "Go back to the girl, it was Sister Yinger who told me about the medicine that I just brought back from outside." Said: "Success, watch carefully, if your girls wake up later, call your mother-in-law to bring over the prepared meals."

Xueyan agreed, turned her head and whispered into the room: "Sister Zijuan, Miss Bao has come to see our girl." It took a while for Zijuan to come out and open the curtain to welcome Baochai in.Baochai looked outside, the windows were carefully opened, so there was no smell in the room and the people staying inside would not be caught by the wind, so she went to the inner room.Facing it is a carved bed, hung with pine-colored curtains, a book table is placed under the window, and a bookshelf and flower stand are set up next to it.Turning around, there are smoke cages and a low couch under the steps outside the bed, probably used for night watch these days.Baochai went to the carved bed and sat down, looked at Daiyu's face, and sure enough, her little face, which was usually blue, was now as fine as porcelain, with a faint tinge of blood, which was obviously true. better.Then she sat up straight and said to Zijuan: "It's been hard for you to serve your girl these few days. When she wakes up, I will give you credit."

Zijuan stood down and pursed her lips and said with a smile: "When will Miss Bao get nervous? After all, it's just her own business." The two were chatting in low voices, when Daiyu on the bed suddenly sighed and woke up. Come here, open your eyes and stare blankly at the top of the tent for a while, shed two lines of tears and read: "I'm burying flowers today, laughing like crazy, but who will I bury next year?"

Baochai, whose back was turned to her, was taken aback by these few words, turned around and said, "Bah, bah, bah! It's been so hard to rescue me, why can't I even say good things?" Daiyu just lay there mourning Sobbing, Baochai hurriedly waved Zijuan to go out to arrange medicine and food, got up and helped her back, stuffed two soft pillows behind her back and leaned on her, and said, "What's wrong with you? Maybe Uncle Lin will send someone in the past few days I came to pick you up and go to your house, if you get sick, you won’t be able to leave!”

Daiyu wiped her tears with her hand and said, "So that Sister Bao knows that in this world, there is less gathering and more separation, like flowers in the mirror and moon in the mirror. When you get together, you will naturally be happy, and when you leave, you will be sad. It's better not to get together." The most impatient thing in Baochai's life is lying in vain hurting the spring and autumn, and he must "give up his whole body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse". It's just like "it's better not to get together".She only frowned and asked Daiyu: "Who told you to come up with such random things again? You made yourself sick for no reason. Let's see where this is!" Daiyu then turned her head to look outside, and saw A piece of fragrant grass and ancient pines is no longer a lively flower pond outside the green yarn cabinet.

"Where is this?" Baochai saw that she was not as stupid as before, and said, "This is clearly my Pear Fragrance Garden. What do you think? The water is one foot wide, and two feet cannot jump across it." , how few people are planted in the mud ditch? When Prime Minister Cao also left Huarong Road, he happened to meet Guan Gong, who read En En, and let him go. It can be seen that this matter, then there will be no change. Yes, you just grit your teeth and live your own life, how can you not get over it? Your ancestors are short, you eat, or short, you wear it!"

Then Daiyu turned her head and said sadly: "I only think of those who are like Yingying. I hate how many men in the world are heartless. Even if they return home, they will have a day to leave the court. It's not like the one who has gone clean now." good."

Baochai ignored her, got up and looked around on the bookshelf, then asked: "How did you find "Hui Zhen Ji"? It's not afraid of people's ridicule, but the calligraphy practice in the boudoir actually requires you to read these? It’s better to be illiterate! Even if you read the romantic words made up by the man outside, you don’t see the place where the girl should be warned, but fall into it and become lingering and melancholy. It’s really hard to know what to say about you Good!" After taking a breath, he stared at Daiyu again and said, "I was also naughty when I was at home. In my father's study, I had to check out "West Chamber" and "Peony Pavilion". After a while, the nanny said again: "This is the way of the world. Every woman makes a wrong step and can't hold her head up in front of everyone for a lifetime. Don't look at how pitiful she is when she is scattered, but at the beginning Why didn't you control yourself? After listening to the man's sweet words and coaxing, you lost your head. Who do you blame when you fall into the pit? Even if you know you are deep in the mud, why don't you get lost and return, and cry when you get to the end of the mountain? If you ask for help from others, if you can’t stand up, you can’t do anything even if you have someone to support you.’ If you want me to say, the honest gentlemen who pass by owe her money?”

As she spoke, she couldn't hold her hands for a while and burst into laughter. Daiyu blushed and stretched out her hand to hold Baochai's clothes and said: "My good sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me again, and don't talk to others. Say." That Baochai couldn't hold back and poked her forehead: "Miss Qianjin, you have bluffed the whole family to death. Grandma Xiaorong in the East Mansion just passed away, and no one cares about you. Huizi, don’t make such a foolish case.” After talking nicely for a while, and then asked where the books came from, Daiyu said in a sticky voice: “I buried those books in the peach grove a few days ago. Luohua, I just met Baoyu..." Before she finished speaking, her cheeks were bright red, which really overwhelmed the peach blossoms, but she didn't know that this was the cause of her illness.

Sitting on the side, Baochai sighed and said, "I shouldn't have told you these things, but since I've brought you into the Pear Fragrance Garden, I might as well just meddle in this nonsense. Sister Lin, I'm just asking you, Do you know what is "the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker"? Ms. Yingying has won the sympathy of countless scholars because of the old lady Cui's previous rebellion? If there is no such case in the head, I am afraid that she will be thrown into evil ways immediately. I know that you and Baoyu are childhood sweethearts, two very good people, but since there are no such words as Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin, it is out of courtesy. If you succeed in the future, these two will also It's just for fun, but if it doesn't work out, it's okay to make Baoyu a strict mouther, I'm afraid he won't be able to control his mouth, and he will dare to throw everything out after being poured down with yellow soup."

Daiyu thought about it deeply, and couldn't help shivering: "My dear sister, if I can really get a sister like you, I won't be confused this time!" Baochai patted her hand and said, "This time I think the doctor you invited here is a good one. Everyone else thinks you are an epidemic. Only he dares to prescribe the medicine, and the fever will disappear in three to five days. Just take the medicine and eat well, and walk around the yard when you are free. Turn around. I don't have any troublesome people coming in here, just stop and raise it, and wait for Uncle Lin to pick you up. At that time, you and your father and daughter will have a good discussion, so don't dare to come out like this. It doesn't have to be ruined What about myself."

The two were talking, Xueyan was holding the medicine, a woman behind her was carrying the food box brought back by Baochai, and Zijuan was also holding a cup of honey water.First, she waited for Daiyu to use the medicine and added some honey water. After waiting for a while to open the food box, Daiyu stretched her head to look at it and said: "The egg soup is more filling, and the bean sprouts are also ordered." After a few mouthfuls He also asked Zijuan to persuade him to drink some noodle soup, and then lay back and rested.Seeing that she was all right, Baochai also stood up and said goodbye. After going out, she called the doorman to tell her several times, saying that she would invite Madam Su as soon as Baoyu knocked on the door.

After a few more days like this, Daiyu finally got out of bed and walked up a few steps.Xueyan stared at her not to ask her to eat the newly prepared ginseng nourishing pills in the mansion, and followed Baochai to order some fresh seasonal vegetables from the big kitchen, and a little bit of mild meat, and she was not allowed to sit all the time Read and write.When Daiyu was slightly dissatisfied, the girl would act foolishly, act coquettishly, and make troubles. In short, she had to make trouble until she could not be quiet before giving up.Daiyu wanted to reprimand her, but also took pity on Xueyan who followed her all the way from Yangzhou to the capital, and often had no choice but to rely on her to walk around in the small garden.In this way, I am surprised to feel energetic, light and healthy.

Another three or four days passed, and this day was the day when Qin Keqing's funeral was held, so Baochai didn't show up, so she only called out a woman who was usually decent and Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo Let's go to the ceremony together.From the bottom of her heart, Su Momo was not happy to hear about this matter, and the maids around Baochai also told her to be honest and dare not gossip. Only Wang Momo came back and gave a special lecture to Zijuan in the room. After a pause, it was Daiyu who was tired and asked her to go out to stop the conversation.

After the funeral, Jia's mother passed on the meal and called the whole family to gather in the main courtyard.Because Daiyu has recovered, so she went with her, and the old lady saw that her granddaughter was fine and she was no longer unconscious, so she was overjoyed and hurriedly embraced Daiyu and said, "These people under my knees are the most beautiful people on weekdays. The one who hurts is your mother, and now the one who hurts the most is you. Don’t scare my old lady like this again. I really couldn’t spare my eyes to look at that day. Thanks to Bao girl’s hand, my old lady also remembers this A kindness!" As he spoke, he choked up, and the maids and women on both sides tried to persuade him before he stopped.

On this side, Daiyu got up and saluted, saying "I know I'm wrong", and Baochai hurriedly got up to avoid Jia Mu's seat and said "you're polite".Baoyu was envious to see the two of them suddenly become like this, and just winked at Daiyu and smiled. Daiyu ignored him again, but Mrs. Wang, who was standing behind Jia Mu, coughed lightly when she saw it, and Baoyu shrank. I stuck out my tongue and stuck out my neck, so I didn't dare to make weird faces anymore.After Jia's mother praised Baochai, she said some family affairs to everyone, and while she was talking, the mother-in-law outside came to report in a panic that another minister from the palace had arrived.Everyone in the Jia family was in shock, and after the case was announced and the incense was burned, the eunuch Dai Quan read out the will according to Ming Huang Lingzi, and only then did he know that Yuan Chun, who used to be a female official in the Queen's Palace, had entered the Fengzao Palace because of his knowledge and virtue. She has to be called a virtuous concubine.

Up to Jiamu, down to the side branch kneeling and listening outside, they were all overjoyed, sealed the number one purse and sent the inner minister out, and when they came back, they sat down and began to discuss how to support the empress.Not long after, another woman came to report that it was Master Zhen of Dongfu who had come, and all the children and family members in the house hurriedly avoided.

After returning to the yard, Bailu came up to take a look at Baochai. Seeing that she seemed to be holding something in her hand, Baochai said to Daiyu, "I just finished eating, so I'm going to rest for fear of overeating. Why don't you come with me?" Go to the study to dissipate." Daiyu didn't suspect him, and the two left the maid behind them and went into the study, Bailu followed in to serve, and seeing that everyone had dispersed, Fang took out two letters from his sleeve, one to Baochai, The other letter was actually Feng and Daiyu.

Daiyu stood there in shock and couldn't believe it. After waiting for a long time, her father really came back. She hurriedly took the envelope and bowed respectfully. Then she took out the letter cutter and cut it twice, took out the paper and opened it carefully.Baochai didn't bother with her, but read her letter by herself.

This letter was written by Xue Pan. Lala miscellaneously talked about what he had seen and heard in the courtyard examination, and was very happy. In Beijing, along the way, he often met noble people to help him.In the end, I said emphatically and said that I met the Yanyan Yushi of the Lin family in Yangzhou by chance on the way and made an appointment to go to Beijing together, and asked my younger sister to take care of the Lin family girl who also lived in Rongfu.Baochai tilted her head and thought for a while, I'm afraid this "encounter" may not be a real chance encounter, sister Lin's crystal heart, her elder brother who is like a stick, how can her father's opponent?I'm afraid that a face-to-face meeting will make people find out, so after a few or two calls, Uncle Lin will be fooled into asking him to take care of his girl.Forget it, anyway, my brother is just so stubborn, and being able to get Uncle Lin's blue eyes to order him once or twice will not be enough in this life. It is right to think that he is a fool, and it is always right to make some good fortune.

Daiyu over there was overjoyed after reading the letter. Her father said in the letter that he would go to Beijing to report on his work at the beginning of May at the latest, and that he would stay in the center for a long time. round.What's more, when her father came to Beijing, she would not have to live in another place if she took ten thousand steps back. She finally escaped from the sky, and she was so happy that she didn't know whether to stand or sit.

Baochai pinched her fingers and counted the date of the letter, and it turned out that her mother, brother and uncle Lin were going to Beijing together, so she immediately sent a message to let the housekeeper come in and said, "Your wife and uncle will come in the day after tomorrow. Be well prepared. Also, send someone to visit the Lin family's house in Beijing, and help if they can."
