Xiangyun asked Baochai to pat the head of the table lightly, and then stuck out her tongue and smiled happily. Mother Jia took her child's heart, so she didn't care about it any more, and went to talk with several old relatives at the banquet. The wives chatted.

Fang Guaner walked halfway and asked Baochai to escape, gritted his teeth, ran forward a few steps, turned around, slapped his hands on a clump of camellia flowers, and three or four little actors came out of the flowers , Everyone surrounded her and said, "Where is Miss Xue? Why didn't you come?" Fang Guan pouted and stomped his feet and said, "Just now, all the girls from the Shi family walked to the Dicui Pavilion, and suddenly turned around and left, and I dare not go up." Stop, after chasing for a while, no one is there, so I have to come looking for you." There was a lotus official who sang Xiaosheng and Ruiguan who sang Xiaodan on weekdays, chirping: "Then what should I do? Will Miss Bao be in a hurry? Tell the old lady that we want to tease her?" Fang Guan'er said angrily, "I can't do anything, I just want to lure her here, so I can ask why I scolded Baoyu a few days ago, but now there is such a commotion. Everyone in our room is in danger. The wife and the nuns under the old lady come to check three times a day, just like guarding against thieves, it is better to let us out early, and we will be clean after two times!" The other little opera singers were filled with righteous indignation and shouted: "That's right, we were all girls from a good family, but we were recruited to learn these opera singing because our families were poor, and our actions made people look down upon us. It's not that, and it's not. Besides, Miss Xue is a guest, how can she point at the nose of the master's man and say that she is not a person? It's too annoying, and I have to think of a way to lure her into our trap later. Could it be that she is a big girl who wants to save face, but she still cares about opera actors like us, even if she missed something, she just said she was having trouble with the girl."

Now that the plan was made, Fang Guan'er put his heart in his stomach and went to the banquet.It turned out that a few people were indeed transferred from each room today, but no matter how much they moved, they couldn't move Baoyu's head.Fang Guan'er called her godmother, that is, Chun Yanniang was sent out. At this moment, the old woman is happily eating fruit on the porch outside Baoyu's main house and talking to Xiren.I just heard the old woman say: "I said that I didn't like to recognize these little actors as goddaughters. I didn't have to lead all the good girls to ruin, and they all showed their teeth and claws and refused to obey the discipline. I still have to follow the girl's advice and send her out more often." Doing things will save you from being haunted in the yard all day playing ghosts and monkeys, it’s really like ‘there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings’.” Xiren pursed his lips and smiled: “I also see these children are bored and uncomfortable every day. Why don't you let them go and relax, just pass a few plates, and if you don't see them, you can steal away to play, and the masters will also reward you with delicious dishes, why not do it." The old woman squinted He rolled his eyes and smiled, clutching a money bag and not letting go.

It turns out that the things of the little maids in each room, such as moon silver and soft things, have always been kept by the big maids, and people with a reasonable mind will not tamper with them.Baoyu's room was originally handed over to the kitchen, and Xiren held the key. Later, Xiren's mother died, and she went out for a few months, and then handed it over to Qingwen.Qingwen didn't bother to care about these miscellaneous things, so she simply asked everyone to take back their things, only the little girls who hadn't kept their heads came every month to beg for copper coins to buy hair ropes and sunflower seeds.As soon as these little opera singers came in, it was easy for others to be different. Qingwen saw that they were disrespectful, and she didn't want to let go of her figure and care about it, so she was lazy again and sent the monthly money and things directly to Fangguaner's godmother to share with her Never mind, the big maids in other courtyards didn't want to get involved with these little opera singers, so they sent all the gourd paintings to the wives who recognized their godmothers, so these wives regarded these little opera singers as The source of wealth is easily squeezed.It's just that these girls have never been taught by anyone, and they don't know what to expect. In order to avoid being bullied, they blindly huddle and quarrel, which makes the garden often restless.Today there is a fuss because of the water used to wash hair, and tomorrow there is another fuss because of the nitrate used to wipe the face. Even Aunt Zhao asked them to surround them and humiliate them.

Earlier, Baochai reprimanded Baoyu face to face, and then turned around and went to Mrs. Wang's place to cry and complain, and the Yihong Courtyard became stricter.Fang Guan'er refused to obey discipline, and did not dare to resent his wife above, so he only directed his anger on Baochai.However, Baochai is a relative and girl, and she doesn't live in this garden, so she can't take revenge on ordinary days.It just so happened that relatives and friends gathered together for the Spring Festival ceremony today, and a godmother sent her to the front to replace the errands, so she simply called her little friend to play tricks on Baochai and vent her anger.On her side, she went back to the table to listen, full of thoughts about how to come up with another idea to make the girl from the Xue family make a fool of herself.

At the banquet, Baochai was talking with Tanchun with his head bowed. Tanchun talked about many things about coming in the garden to make good and eliminate bad. It's like a year old, raising waste for nothing, and there have always been only buyers and no sellers in the family, so the old ancestors were sent to work in a private house, which can be regarded as making up for some shortcomings. Wait a few years. If the mother comes back again If you want to go back to the garden and buy it again, there are better ones anyway." As she was speaking, Fang Guan'er came over with a blue and white platter of assorted seafood in her hand, rubbed it back and forth and looked at it, but she didn't learn well. Rules, a rough appearance with no decency.Tanchun couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, he turned his head and saw Mrs. Wang was chatting enthusiastically with Mrs. Jia, then turned around and called the waiter behind, and another little girl came up to pick up the plates and set them up, here Fang Guan'er was still in a daze, so Tanchun called out to a woman through the gaps between his teeth: "If you don't drag this rough-handed person down, you'll lose face in front of your relatives later!" The old woman didn't dare to be vague, and called another old woman to come up and cover her mouth, and dragged Fang Guan'er down in a hurry. After all, she didn't make any noise to disturb the wives and grandma above, and the disaster was averted.

Tanchun took care of Fang Guan'er here, and then turned to complain to Baochai about the many illegal things in the garden, babbling and talking until the banquet was over.Mrs. Xue watched Qing Guogong, Li Guogong and several wives and grandmothers of the Wang family and the Shi family resign, so she also got up and resigned with her daughter. Only then did she have the time to ask Baochai why she had changed her clothes to welcome the spring.Ying'er stepped forward to distinguish the ins and outs of the future one by one, and took the bag of dirty clothes to check with her to see that there were no omissions, and then angrily took the girl home.

Baochai coaxed her for a long time along the way, and when she got home, Mrs. Xue calmed down and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask someone to prepare a gift, and I will send it to the eldest daughter of the Shi family and the third daughter of the Jia family. I must thank you very much. But this girl with no good intentions is abominable, if it wasn't for the sake of seeing the second girl's good life, she must tell a reason before I let it go!" Baochai couldn't laugh or cry: "That's a bastard, you and her Reasonable, in the end it was all her crooked reasoning, and the mistakes were all others' faults, why bother to grind your teeth and try to get mad at yourself, it's just a joke." Mrs. Xue snorted again, only saying that she would not meet that guy in the future. The girl is.

The Jia family sent off guests here, and Mrs. Wang was about to go back to Rongxi Hall, so Jia's mother stopped her and asked, "Which courtyards are the guests borrowing from today?" Mrs. Wang said in a daze, "It may be The little maids from various places transferred a few to run errands, and some women came up to guard, and there were no others." At this moment, Yuanyang whispered a few words in Jiamu's ear, and the old lady's eyes were stern. In a flash, he said: "Bring me up! Relatives came to visit us, and they almost turned them into a den of thieves in the green forest!" As soon as the words fell, several women came up again with Fang Guan'er At that time, the servant girl next to Mrs. Wang recognized her, and hurriedly reported the name and source to the master.There was also a servant girl who talked about how many things went back and forth during the banquet today. After hearing this, Madam Wang was so angry that she trembled all over. Don't make a fuss out of face, otherwise the Jia family won't be able to keep a trace of decency.He held his breath and shouted: "What are you doing here at the banquet?"

Fang Guan'er was so frightened at this moment, he didn't see a trace of arrogance on weekdays, and he didn't answer any questions, so he completely wiped out the fact that his godmother used her as a substitute.Mrs. Wang immediately ordered someone to bring Chun Yanniang over. The woman only clenched her purse and cried, and when she was found guilty of being lazy and greedy for money, she called and dragged her down to deal with it. Several places in the house still fell on Fang Guaner's head.Seeing that the godmother, who is like the top of Mount Tai, is so easy to clean up, this Fang Guaner can't help but have another idea in his heart, and now he is crying, saying that he has not learned the rules yet, so he asks the godmother to order around, thus losing the dignity of the family , only ask the master to punish.He simply spit out another case by himself and said: "Earlier I took the two girls to change clothes, but because the slaves didn't know the way, they went astray. The girls left the slaves halfway and turned away. Because I was afraid of losing face and being hit by the board, I didn't dare to quickly ask my wife for instructions."

Seeing that she was crying pitifully and pity her life experience, Mother Jia recognized what she said and reprimanded her: "You only take that godmother's words to be true, and don't worry about the teachings of other big maids on weekdays? Today in the Fuzhong Dare to run around in a big event, you can see how indulgent you are on weekdays! I want to punish severely, but the sage has said that 'killing without teaching is called abuse', and we will talk about today's affairs after you have learned all the rules and etiquette. That's it, You will be fined for three months, and you will not be allowed to be promoted to be a maid for two years, can you accept the punishment?" Fang Guan was wronged and kowtowed, and Mrs. Wang continued: "You girls who have studied opera, It is more difficult to adjust and teach than other families. The old lady is merciful and leaves you a way to survive, but I have to be cruel. According to me, that Chunyan lady is the first hateful person, and she shirks her job and passes it on to others. You don't need to teach the girl, so just throw her out. This Fang official, I will hand it over to the nuns for twenty rulers to improve memory, and the rest will be done according to the old lady's instructions." Jiamu nodded after hearing that, it's all right, Fang Guan'er was dragged down for execution.The twenty ruler was drawn on the calf, and the calf was swollen very high.Fang Guan'er gritted his teeth and couldn't hold back the tears, the woman who did it slammed a ruler on the wound and said: "Don't act like that, we don't have anyone here who cares about the fragrance and jade, and don't blame the wife, who told you that you can't control yourself Running around with legs? The Duke’s Mansion has strict rules. It’s a special case to be lenient in not kicking you out. Anyway, it’s just a flesh injury, so it won’t delay the girl’s dressing up and singing in the future.”

Those little opera singers who shared the same spirit as Fang Guan'er were very loyal, and when they heard that she had been punished, they came together to carry her back to Yihong Courtyard.Qingwen waved her out because she thought she was making a fuss, and called the little girl to come up to wash her wound and put on some medicine, saying: "Yes! Usually it is harder for us to order you than to order a cow. Your godmother just ran to the front quickly. If you don’t come back and ask, it’s not that I should tell you to learn a lesson.” Seeing that the little girls have rough hands, they asked to leave the medicine and put it on her with their own hands, and then wrapped it in a clean cloth.

Fang Guan'er was so irritated by the medicine that she couldn't help it, and now she finally burst into tears. Qingwen felt sorry for her and said, "Are you so confused today? There are so many people in this yard who don't show their heads. You Just run to show your head, it’s not the family’s child, who knows who wants to come up to find a place? Be more careful in the future!” At this moment, Zifang Guan’er hated her godmother so much that she only held Qingwen’s hand After recounting today's events in detail, Qingwen made her bluff and her color changed: "Are you trying to kill me? That's the top-ranking master girl. You dare to look for her, but luckily you didn't succeed, or you would die. In the future, I can't talk about it, don't even think about it, Miss Renbao didn't talk about you, why are you rushing forward!" Fang Guan'er snorted: "I don't dare to think about what kind of girl, it's just to scare her ..." Qingwen poked her forehead with her hand in hatred: "It's just repayment! Do you think Miss Bao dares to ask you to kill her on the spot when she is angry? After eating the ambitious leopard, she lost her mind!" Hou feared and said: "Isn't it? I heard sister Xiren said that Miss Xue doesn't care about her servants any more, she is a very tolerant and magnanimous person, even if she is teased, she won't be so?" Qingwen sneered and said : "I wonder why you are suddenly so bold that you can embrace the sky. If you come back alive today, your ancestors have accumulated good deeds to take care of you. Don't listen to the wind in the future. If you are extremely lenient and magnanimous, you should make fun of me." The clay figurine is still angry, not to mention that it is a guest master! How can a person endure being bullied by a servant if he doesn't rely on our family?" Only then did Fang Guan'er understand, with an expression Bai Bai said: "Good sister, thank you for explaining these truths to me, otherwise I might lose my life next time."

Qingwen returned her hand and directly poked her face with a wet towel and said, "Wipe it! Look at your face like a cat. Anyway, you know how to put on colored makeup before running today. You are not stupid." Fang Guan'er originally painted mediocrity in order not to be recognized by others, so he hummed a few times in embarrassment, took a towel and wiped it without mentioning it.

When Baoyu came back from outside in the evening, he heard that Fang Guan'er had been beaten. Before he could change his clothes, he ran in and looked at his face first. Take a look at the quilt.The attacker who came in behind was startled, and hurried up to suppress him and persuaded him: "This one who has just been medicated must not look good, and my father likes to be clean by nature, so if I feel uncomfortable at that time, it is not for nothing to make Fang feel uncomfortable? Besides, Doesn’t the little girl have no shame? She’s the same as Bao Erye, she won’t stop after being beaten!” Baoyu then remembered, took a step back and apologized to Fang Guan’er, frightened Fang The official hugged the quilt and got up, knelt on the bed, kowtowed, and pretended to cry with pain, before coaxing Baoyu out.After asking the reason of the matter, Baoyu said bitterly: "I said those old women are hateful and hateful. Didn't they have been punished when they were young? But they want to treat other young girls harshly. It's really disgusting. From now on, no old women will be allowed to enter In my room, stand far away so that I won't see you!"

Xiren hastily persuaded him a few more words, at least he coaxed him to go to the inner room, change into some light clothes, wash and take a rest without mentioning it.

Let’s just say that on the second day, Baochai really followed Mrs. Xue’s wishes and asked someone to prepare some fresh and exquisite gadgets with Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun, thinking that if the other sisters didn’t have them or if Tanchun was embarrassed, she simply prepared three points Son, it is connected with welcoming spring and cherishing spring.When the mother-in-law who went to Jia's house came back, she hugged another box and said to Baochai, "Miss, this is what Miss Jia Er appointed to bring to you. It is said that the search outside is not clean, and it is not so rare. It’s a good one, I’ll let you use it first, and I’ll send it to you when I get a good one.” Baochai was puzzled, took the box and opened it, and found that there were two sets of twelve old fans inside, including the previous nine. , a total of 21.If you don't mention the ones of unknown origin, there are exactly twenty old fans.Immediately Baochai handed the box to Bailu to put it away, and took a set of pure gold necklaces and bracelets from her makeup box, and put another 1 taels of silver into a boy's purse, waiting for the spring to come When I left the pavilion and went back to the door, I asked someone to send it secretly.After changing hands here, I asked Bai Lu to send the twelve old fans to the pawn shop and Shi Duozi to see for himself, and if he agreed that it was his, he would return it to him, or keep it in the shop for his price.

The stone nerd over there saw the old fan as if he had seen his fate. He looked at it carefully, knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Xue's house while crying, and finally wiped his eyes and said: "In this life, I will sell it to Miss Xue. I dare not hesitate to go up the mountain of knives or down into the sea of ​​fire. If there is even a little bit of hesitation, tell me to have these fans snatched away!" Bailu laughed and teased him: "I can't say that, you live in our Xue's house, who are you?" Dare to come to the door to grab things again? There is no kingly law!" After hearing this, the stone nerd was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "My good sister, don't tease me, anyway, as long as the girl orders me, there is no reason to refuse." Only then did Bailu smile and go back to talk to Baochai.

In the evening, after the master of the Xue family had rested, Bai Ling, the maid who had been bought together with the nurses before, suddenly came over and begged Bailu, "Sister Bailu, I am playing fan noodles with sister Yinger. I heard that the girl recently There are a few excellent old fans in the gift, whichever one you want to draw a pattern with me?" Bailu is not good at needles, but he knows that when he and Yingchun were adding makeup, a few girls made fun, so he also No doubt, just opened the library and took out one and said to her: "Don't take it away, just draw it here, I have to put it away after I finish it. The others are all given away, only this one is left, let's make do with it. "The Bailing didn't pick and choose, so he traced the pattern by the candlelight and changed it back with a smile: "Thank you sister, when I am on vacation, I will go out and buy melon seeds and chestnuts with my sister!" Bailu put the fan away in the lock box, He laughed as he listened: "You are really gluttonous, and the girl has never banned your rations, why can't you eat enough for each of you!" Bai Ling laughed, and the two of them turned off and waited outside for the night. There was nothing to say all night. .
