Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

Baochai had a meeting with all the sisters, and after they sat down with all the etiquette, the housekeeper of the Xue family also kowtowed in the outside room, and asked the mother-in-law to pass in a message: "Our wife said, wait for the exam in the uncle's mansion. After that, we will go to Beijing together and ask the old ladies and wives to take care of our girl." Su Mama gave Bailu a wink, and the big maid took two steps forward: "Old lady and all the wives, grandmas, and girls. Because I want to There is nothing in the capital, so we didn’t bring any other things when we came all the way north, but we brought some rouge powder and silk flowers collected by ourselves to enjoy with the masters, and we will send them to you later, and we hope you don’t want to be disgusted.”

As soon as Bai Lu finished speaking, a man with colorful embroidery like a fairy concubine raised his hand and covered his mouth with a handkerchief, "Card, card, card" and laughed.She was wearing a bright red satin jacket inside, and an azurite skirt on the outside, but she was wearing an emerald skirt underneath. The bright red and green clothes made her look coquettish and coquettish.He also wondered who this was. It turned out to be the wife of Second Master Lian who came up to pick him up from the pier. She also came from the Wang family and called Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xue "Auntie".

She bent her willow-leaf eyebrows, squinted her apricot core eyes, opened her small mouth with red lipstick, and said, "I want to see what good things are there! They say that the rouge hairpin rings in the south are exquisite. The novelty is far better than the Northland, if anyone dislikes it, just give it to me, and you have to use it hard before you will give up!"

Sitting on the top, Jia Mu pointed at her and laughed non-stop: "You monkey, you have been begging for things at relatives' door, so you don't have to panic. Bao girl is young and thin-skinned, so I have to ask you to beat her up." Let the autumn wind go, this master, I have to sit upright!"

Sister Feng supported the maid beside her and cried out for innocence, saying that the new sister and old lady would not love her anymore, and she was reluctant to give up even the idea of ​​rouge and gouache, which made everyone in the hall fall back and forth.After the laughter subsided, Mother Jia said to Mrs. Wang: "There is a charming guest at home, can you arrange a place to live?"

Mrs. Wang stood up and replied: "It's been arranged. Because my sister will go north with her son in a few days, it's just right to separate the Lixiangyuan and let them live in it. It won't hinder the males from coming in and out." Mother nodded: "My aunt also has her age. This arrangement is very good. You do things properly, which is always reassuring." Mrs. Wang bowed slightly before sitting down. What are you doing at home?"

Baochai smiled and replied: "Before, I kept my filial piety at home. Apart from doing needle chisels, I copied scriptures and recited Buddha every day. It's quite boring." Jia Mu nodded again: "This is a filial girl." Rubbing the back of Baochai's head several times, Baoyu, who was wearing a red dress, said to Baochai, "That's what I just said. The second son of your aunt's family is named Baoyu. I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now I look at it. There are four or five points similar. , it can be seen that they are really relatives of our own family. From now on, just live in peace and get along well with each other."

Baochai got up to answer, and at this time someone came in to tell that the lunch was ready. Mother Jia pointed to a maid who was standing beside her and said, "This girl is called Suyun, and she is very useful by my side on weekdays. You When I first came here, I didn't understand the big and small things in this house, and I was living in a relative's house, so I was afraid that I would be embarrassed to ask, so I asked her to take care of it. If there is anything I want to eat or play, just send her to find it. Your aunt wants it." The girl, who was wearing a pea-green blouse and a lotus-colored wide-brimmed beanie with a moon-white background, came out one step at a time, and then led Baochai to follow Mrs. Wang towards the dining room.

Mother Jia sat on a large round table first, with Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing from the big house standing on both sides, followed by countless maidservants.Daiyu and Baoyu sat next to the old lady, and Baochai sat with the other girls. For a while, only some cups, dishes and dishes were rubbing against each other to make a sound, and everyone was eating in silence.She knew the dietary rules of Jia's mansion, so she didn't make any jokes.After dinner, Mother Jia wants to lie down and rest for a while.Sister Feng went to take care of the housework by herself, and Mrs. Wang took the widowed daughter-in-law back, leaving Baochai here to chat and laugh with the other girls.The girls got to know each other very quickly and sat and played together, while Du Baoyu and Daiyu sat on the side rubbing their heads and chatting endlessly.

That Baoyu was eager to try and squeeze into the crowd of girls, but first Baochai ignored him, and second, she had a lot of things she wanted to say to Sister Lin, so she glanced at her for a while and then again At one glance, Tanchun smiled and pointed two fingers at him: "What a great idea, your eyes flew over two or three times, why don't you hurry up and bring tea to make amends!" One end came over and bowed to Baochai: "My good sister, you never came when we were stubborn in the past, but this time you came to live at home, and you always have to get together to have fun."

The eyebrows of Madam Su next to her were almost flying to the sky, she had never seen such a ignorant master.Even the males in the families of high-ranking nobles are not spoiled like this. There are always ten years old who are still hanging around in the inner curtains, and there is no shyness in moving, sitting and sleeping.Although seeing his clear eyes should be due to his innocence, this move really wanted to destroy his innocence.Besides, if the child is ignorant, could it be that the adults are also ignorant?

Before she could stand up and speak, Baochai got up and hid behind Suyun to cover half of his face, and instead of picking up the tea bowl in Baoyu's hand, he just took a sip from his own cup from the table: "Brother Bao's heart I took it, I have caught a cold from the wind blowing on the river for the past two days, and I am afraid that I will get sick, so let it be like this."

Looking at her face, everyone knew that it was just an excuse. Baoyu took a sip of the tea bowl and took a sip, but he couldn't refute her, so he just sat down beside Daiyu and played with a jade carving Jiulianhuan.

All the sisters talked and laughed for a while, and each of them said that they would choose a day to visit Baochai. After Jia Mu woke up, they made an appointment together to salute before resigning.

Baochai and Madam Su walked in front side by side, Bailu, Yinger and Suyun walked behind, and the two little maids surrounded Suyun, chattering and asking, these three were very lively.When they arrived at the gate of Lixiangyuan, Baochai turned to Su Momo and said, "Mammy, I'm sorry, I'll run over again to see if the housekeeper is ready to let him go to work, and then go to Auntie to complain." Momo Su knew She had some calculations in her heart, and she was careful to avoid Jia Baoyu just now, so she was relieved, bent slightly and left.When she walked around the Moon Gate, Suyun, who was at the end, said to Ying'er in surprise, "This nun has a great style, she acts like the stewards walking around outside."

Ying'er smiled and folded a willow branch in her hand, weaved a small and exquisite flower basket and handed it to her, "Our wife entrusted my old relative, Jinling Zhen's old lady, to find it from the palace for our girl." The nanny in charge is very strict, and we don’t dare to mess with it normally.” Suyun took the flower basket and looked at it over and over again, and said, “No wonder Miss Bao is so steady, since there is a nanny from the palace guarding her, I'm afraid it wasn't for our 'Demon King of Confusion' who could have changed it!"

Ying'er and Bailu glanced at each other, and smiled with their tongues stuck out. How can ordinary people see the strength and benefits of Madam Su?The ethos of the entire Xue family was completely different from that of ordinary merchants in a quiet manner. Therefore, both the girl and the wife respected her very much, and even the husband who taught the uncle also treated the two nuns. Convinced, it seems to be half a master.

Baochai walked in front of the head and didn't care what the three girls behind him were chewing, and stopped by a moon gate with verdant trees and trees. Suyun immediately put away the words and walked to the head in small steps: "Come with me, girl, Li Xiang The courtyard has to go this way." Exit the small east courtyard of Mrs. Wang's main house, and go west through a narrow passage to arrive at the Pear Fragrance Court.The courtyard is small and exquisite, with about ten houses, the front hall and the back house are complete, and a door is opened to the main street outside.But Baochai doesn't dare to stay here for a long time, and in April my brother will go to Beijing to settle accounts, so don't take half a step on the right path and make these Jia's children ten times worse.

Suyun led them into the backyard of Lixiangyuan. Baochai avoided the main room and the east wing, and only looked around in the west wing. Come on, let's arrange it like at home. Madam Su will arrange it in the hut at the back of the west wing. You can squeeze in and live there temporarily. When my brother comes, you will have to go back to your own home. What's the point of living in someone else's house? thing?"

After all, she took a book and needlework she hadn't finished on the way and sat in the east chamber, letting Yinger and Bailu bring Suyun in and out.It wasn't until the second quarter of Xu time that the house was tidied up. Suyun said to Ying'er: "On weekdays, if the ancestors didn't pass on the rice, they went to the big kitchen to get it back. After a while, they had to use the monthly money to call it. Inconvenient. Therefore, sisters and sisters, don't miss it, this time I will take the little girl over and say something." After hearing this, Ying'er went to the yard and called a girl to follow her, then turned around and went back to the west wing to tidy up Baochai. in the wear.Bai Lu had already led the mother-in-law back from the outside, and was standing in front of Baochai to answer.

"Back to the girl, the gifts for the ladies, grandma, wives and the old lady have been sent according to the lottery. The second grandmother of the chain has recently added a girl, and she hasn't given a name yet. We didn't know that we didn't prepare it before, so I did it without authorization. The master took two small flowers and a pair of silver bracelets of sufficient size to send them." Baochai slowly flipped through a page of travel notes, and while carefully looking at the plain sketched landscapes on it, she said to her: "Got it. You take Is Xiao Zanhua made by Yinger and I when we were bored on the road?"

Bai Lu smiled and poured a cup of tea and put it in Baochai's hand: "Aren't they the two made by the girl herself? The eldest sister is young and hasn't grown her hair yet. The big hairpin can be seen at a glance that it is not ready. Giving a gift still makes people feel uncomfortable." Baochai put down the book and nodded with a smile: "You are the only one who talks a lot. Go and have a rest, and when Zi Suyun comes back with the meal, you can go down and eat it with them, I will There is no one to wait for you here. By the way, take care of the makeup box we brought, put away my golden lock and leave only the collar, who would like to carry it at home, it is so heavy." Bai Lu Fu smiled and went down to pack, and he waited a while Suyun and the little girl came back and waited for Madam Su to have dinner together.

After dinner, Yinger helped the girl change into light clothes, while Baochai wore soft shoes and leaned on the small table next to the beauty's couch to calculate the expenses for the past few days. He ordered: "Tomorrow, go and tell the housekeeper to collect the account books of those shops in Beijing for verification, and tell the outside only that the master will collect the accounts in two months' time."

Egret, who was sitting beside the smoking cage doing needlework, responded, and she has always assisted in such matters related to accounts and money.Su Momo only looked up at the western chime clock on the chest of drawers: "Girl, it's time to rest, you have to get up earlier when you're a guest." Baochai responded, and Yinger brought water for her to brush her hair and wash herself. Go lie down and rest.

But the lights of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are still on.The big maid, Yuanyang, gently tapped the old lady's legs with her beauty fist, while Hu Po stood behind and lowered her head to rub her master's shoulders.Jia's mother half closed her eyes and said, "I told you when Suyun came back in the afternoon. How about Miss Xue?"

The mandarin duck tapped carefully and said: "Back to the ancestors, Miss Xue doesn't talk much, let her two maids chatter, she looks like a soft and good-natured person. It's the nanny next to her, who is said to be Zhen The family helped to invite them from the palace, and they were quite clever. The Pear Fragrance Court looks loose, but the inside is like an iron bucket, and Suyun can't get close to serve."

"Where did the children's family put so much thought into it? I'm afraid it was Mrs. Xue's wife who was afraid that the girl would suffer a loss outside. I heard about the incident during the rest time. This girl is polite, but she is a little It’s ridiculous. Let’s see how she will be in the future.” The old lady made a comment, then turned her side to the Arhat’s bed and said: “In the past, you only need to see if her actions are consistent. It’s not because I want to worry too much. Well, it’s true that those who come from merchants are not in the same nest as our government’s family. Back then, the Wang family had to marry a daughter to Xue’s family for a note of money, but it’s a pity for this girl. The good lady doesn’t know how to survive these decades. It’s here.” As she spoke, her eyes narrowed, and Yuanyang Hupo hurriedly helped her to lean on the big bed, took off her big clothes, and fell asleep comfortably.

When it came to Mrs. Wang's place, she was calling a daughter-in-law named "Zhou Rui's family" to calculate the accounts.It turns out that this Ningguo Mansion, despite the bustling flowers outside, the inside has already been exhausted.The men are all helpless, they don’t do their business outside, they are like a bag of cystic insects leaning on the tree trunk, relying on women to manage the dowry shop to make ends meet, housewives don’t think about what to do every day rob Peter to pay Paul?Mrs. Xijue's eldest wife, Mrs. Xian, has already gone, and now she is asking for a step-mother from a small family. She usually tries to dig out two taels of iron slag, so Mrs. Jia despises her. Unable to make a show, he had to ask the second wife to come out and host the feed.

Zhou Rui's family handed over the accounts of the incoming and outgoing transactions to Mrs. Wang, holding their breath and not daring to move, for fear of catching their master's eyes.Mrs. Wang flipped through the account books, frowned at the balance behind and did not let go: "It is necessary for relatives to walk around, and they will marry a wife and have children next month, so they need to prepare early. The monks and Taoists who recited the scriptures of the ancestors are also raised for nothing. How many monthly cases are there?"

"Return to Madam," Zhou Rui's family replied with lowered hands: "Didn't you give the monthly report sent in from outside to Second Mistress Lian to release? I'm afraid you haven't taken it back yet." Mrs. Wang waved her hand impatiently: " Tomorrow morning, you can go to remind me again, or just push this mess into the hands of the big house, so I won't allow my own dowry to subsidize these people. By the way, what did my niece do today?" Zhou Rui's family I hurriedly whispered in her ear for a while, and Madam Wang nodded: "I know that my daughter of the Wang family is well-educated and respectful, unlike those petty girls who see the sky seduce other children and don't learn well. I will go to the kitchen to explain tomorrow. In a word, send a bottle of rose marinade to Lixiangyuan, spring is dry, don't tell the little girl to cough, it looks indecent when choosing a waiter."

"In the afternoon, the nurse next to Sister Bao came to send a 1000 tael bank note, saying that it was the girl's daily expenses here. You exchanged it for me, took half of it and put it in the office, and asked the old lady and The snobbish eye knows that my daughter of the Wang family does not eat and drink for free like some people." Mrs. Wang just finished explaining that Jin Chuan'er outside came in and reported: "The master sent someone to say that I am resting in Aunt Zhao's yard again today. I've already told you to send Baoyu tomorrow and send my brother around to study at home."

Immediately, the sound of smashing cups came from the Buddhist hall, and the maids and women who had just walked in to sort out the ledgers outside did not dare to take a breath. After a while, Mrs. Wang Gang stopped and said from the inside: "Let Tanchun come over, I will come here today." In the evening, I will recite Mifo to accumulate blessings for the old lady, and let her copy the scriptures by the side."

Jin Chuan immediately blessed Fu and withdrew to invite Tanchun. The others carefully tidied up the hall and retreated. Only Zhou Rui's family followed in and helped pick up a smashed Dingyao sweet white porcelain teacup and persuaded: "Then In the side yard, the tail of the rabbit can't grow. You have the second master Bao under your knees. Who are you afraid of in this whole house? Besides, when Mrs. Xue's wife comes, there will be many serious problems that can be solved easily. You can't make yourself angry !"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her chest hurt, she was leaning on the desk and rubbing her hands: "Why am I so angry, what is that brother Huan who deserves to be compared with my Baoyu and go to school with him? Just his bastard appearance , I still want to step on my son’s head, wishful thinking! I don’t even look at whether I’m a material for studying, but I’m looking at it, like Brother Pan, can the prodigal son turn back for money? All pointing at the swan fart!

After scolding for a while, she stopped, and Jin Chuan, who had been guarding outside for a long time, brought Tanchun in. Mrs. Wang pointed to the pen and ink in the corner and said, "You just sit there and copy it, it is also a place for brother Huan to meditate on weekdays. The maids set up their pens and retreated to the door, and Tan Chun knelt on the cushion and took up a pen to copy, and did not get permission to go back to rest until the light of the next day turned white.Mrs. Wang who just got up said again: "Let Aunt Zhao come and take care of her girl in person. The child is a little bit unwell after being caught in the wind at night. Tell her not to just cling to Brother Huan and leave her own girl behind. Don't care."

The author has something to say: I will go to Zhengzhou tomorrow, the update will be later, if there is no update, I will make it up in the day after tomorrow.

There was no detailed scene description when Baochai entered Jia’s mansion. I wrote some scenes from the perspective of Daiyu’s entering Jia’s mansion. If it is completely copied from the original work, I feel that the number of words is cheating. I will try to reduce it as much as possible!

I made a mistake in the numbering of this chapter when I posted it the day before yesterday, so I changed it today.This was added yesterday, today's update is being coded, I will go out to the pharmacy to buy something...
