Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

The next morning, Baochai got up early, and her own maidservants came up to take care of washing and changing clothes. After the bell rang a few times, the kitchen delivered breakfast. Xichun wanted to go to see her and ask Baochai if she would go.

Baochai in this room had just drank eight-treasure tea, held a bowl and thought for a while and said, "If you go back to the second girl, you must say that you must go, and then find a bright-colored one for the needlework I usually do when I go out. Go." She left Bailu in Lixiangyuan waiting to check the accounts with the housekeeper, and took Ying'er and Madam Su by her side to stroll slowly towards Mrs. Wang's yard.

It was late spring, and the peonies were just in bloom. When Yinger saw it, she couldn't help but wanted to break off a branch. Baochai looked around and ordered her to find the woman who was sweeping and came over and asked, "This flower was taken by the ancestors this morning." No?" The mother-in-law blessed her and replied: "Girl, I've already picked up the tip. Which one do you like, I'll break it for you, don't dirty the girls' embroidered shoes."

Ying'er pointed to a light yellow and a silver red one to show her, and then took out a copper coin and stuffed it over: "Mama, please fold it. The neck should be longer. I want to take it to Miss San." After picking up the money, she laughed so hard that she couldn't see her fangs, she put down the broom and dripped the flowers and leaves into it, folded the two branches she ordered and handed her a compliment: "Miss Bao is kind, even the maid around her is a coincidence!"

Baochai responded with a smile, while Yingchun's maid, Siqi, was blowing away the emerald green willow branches to guide Yingchun Xichun out of her head, and Xichun's maid, Ruhua, followed behind.Ying'er first called Siqi's sister, Baochai and the two girls of Jia's family said good morning to each other, and then they walked together towards Mrs. Wang's yard.After entering the yard, Zhou Rui's family just came out and saw Baochai with a smile on his face: "Miss Baochai got up so early! My wife just had dinner, and she was saying that she would invite the doctor to the house in the morning, but how many girls were sent to the house?" They were all alarmed, and the old ancestor must also inform him."

Baochai didn't want to talk to her, so she just nodded and said, "Then it won't hinder you from doing things. Let's go in and say hello to Auntie and go see Sister Tanchun." Going down, the three girls waited for a while and saw Jin Chuan lift the curtain and walk over: "Madam invites the girls to come in and talk."

Yingchun led the way, Baochai followed, Xichun was the youngest, and the three of them entered the three small main rooms on the east side together.The room was filled with smoke and smelled of sandalwood, Jin Chuan lowered his voice and said to them, "My wife was chanting Buddha's name very late last night, and the third girl filially waited on her to copy scriptures until dawn, but she accidentally caught wind." , at this moment the servant is waiting and lying down."

As she spoke, she saw Mrs. Wang wearing a marigold-yellow coat with a pipa collar and an ocher-colored horse-face skirt, holding the hand of the servant girl Caiyun, walking out of the inner room with a sad face.The three girls bent down to salute, Madam Wang weakly pointed to a chair with a brocade cushion on the side and told people to sit down, "The doctor just came, you can go in later to see the third girl, so as not to bump into her." .”

Yingchun Xichun didn't speak, just sat and drank tea quietly, Baochai didn't talk too much and just watched the changes.I saw that Tanchun was fine yesterday, how could he become sick all night?The tricks of my aunt in the previous life were eye-opening, and if you look carefully again, you will see more of these clues.I don't know if it was Aunt Zhao in the backyard or Jia Huan who offended her aunt and then turned her anger on Tanchun. This girl was also unlucky.

How did she know that Tanchun was implicated by the Xue family.

Jia Zheng, the master of the second bedroom of the Jia family, heard that the nephew of the Xue family, who was ignorant and idle all day long and caused troubles, changed his past and changed his mind to be a new man. ?My eldest son had placed the family's expectations in the first place, but unexpectedly, his life was in the middle of the scientific examination. The future of his grandson is still young, and he can only count on his second son, who might be able to get an unexpected result.In addition, Aunt Zhao served her attentively and comfortably, so he nodded and asked Jia Huan to go home with him.Aunt Zhao was in a hurry to show off, and she was suddenly accused by the maid in front of the wife of the main house. Because it was still difficult for the master to find her, she took her own daughter as a murderer.Jia Zheng has always been disregarding the life and death of his children. He only thought that his daughter had caught a cold, and went to the front yard to have a drink with the Qingke gentlemen without asking any more questions.

Jin Chuan'er had invited Aunt Zhao over to take care of Tanchun early in the morning, and after a while, the mother-in-law came to report that Auntie had smashed a treasure in the girl's room and was kneeling outside to make amends.Mrs. Wang didn't cry out, so she let her kneel at the door of Tanchun House under the increasingly high sun, and waited for Baochai and the others to come before she winked and asked Caiyun to send them back to the side courtyard.

After a while, the doctor took out the medicine box after seeing the doctor, and sat behind the screen and left Zhang Shufeng's antipyretic prescription.Mrs. Wang asked her servants to take him out, and then said to the girls around her: "Go and see the third girl, poor girl, she was born thin and her mother didn't have a good face, maybe she can be more energetic with close sisters by her side. Also unknown."

Baochai and the others resigned from her and went to the west courtyard.Tanchun was lying on the bed, and the waiter had just pulled down the curtains and screens that covered it. When he saw the three girls coming to visit the master, he was immediately filled with gratitude.A little girl moved to the embroidered pier where the mattress was spread, and the three of Yingchun Xichun and Baochai sat down next to Tanchun, only picking up some irrelevant and light-hearted topics for chatting.

Baochai asked Yinger to hand over the folded peonies to the tea-serving servant and told her to keep them in clean water. The servant girl happily called the outside woman to take care of it, and turned around to stand in front of Tanchun. Baochai gave Tanchun a needle and thread and couldn't help but said, "Miss Bao has done such a brilliant job that she has outmatched us all!"

"How do you compare with the master?" Tanchun couldn't put it down as he touched the lake blue handkerchief embroidered with butterflies of various colors, and then held it up to his eyes to see the stitches: "This is really a wonderfully tied flower, the butterfly It’s as if he’s come alive.”

Baochai watched the wives put the peony away, then smiled and said to her, "I only made this a few days ago when I was a filial piety. Let's play with it at home. I don't know what to bring with you when you are sick." , It’s just that it’s pleasing to the eye and I’m in a better mood, so I can’t say I’ll get better soon.” As he spoke, he took it closer to look at the silk thread, and Yingchun also came over and asked about the color matching of stitches, Xichun was still young, so he sat beside him and thought about it Ask one party to play with veils embroidered with animals.

At this time, the little girl guarding the outside reported a sentence to the inside: "Girl, Sister Xiren from Second Master Bao is here, and Sister Zijuan from Miss Lin's side." Tan Chun nodded to the servant, The maid hurriedly went out to welcome him in.

Xiren wore a honey-colored jacket, covered with rouge-colored trousers, and a pea-green skirt underneath, followed by Zijuan who was also dressed as a maid.The two big girls walked in and bowed to the girls before opening their mouths, and said: "Second Master Bao heard that the third girl was ill early this morning. There is nothing I can do about it. The master ordered her to go to the home school yesterday. Since I couldn't come to visit the girl today, I sent me to ask." Just after she finished speaking, Zijuan also said: "Our Miss Lin asked to bring some throat-moisturizing sugar over. People who talk about the wind tend to have a sore throat. , if you have symptoms, you will feel much refreshed immediately if you take one."

Tanchun thanked them and asked the servant to collect the things, and took the two maidservants down to have tea. Baochai and the others sat down for a while, then took their leave and went back without further mentioning.Only Tanchun was here, when Baoyu and Daiyu finally came to see her when school was over in the afternoon, they saw Shishu and another girl sitting under the smoked cage, drawing patterns with Fanghu blue handkerchiefs.

Baoyu has always liked these exquisite things, and when he leaned over to look at them, he couldn't bear to put them down. He twisted the servant's arm and said, "My dear sister, which embroidered handkerchief is this? Give it to me." The room pouted and said: "Ms. Bao brought this when she came to see our girl in the morning. She said it was for our girl to watch and relieve boredom. How could I give it to you!?" Baoyu clapped his hands when he heard this: "Yes Oh, I guess I forgot something, it turned out that she hadn’t visited Sister Bao yet, so why did she despise her!” Turning her head to ask Daiyu if she would go, Daiyu shook her head and said, “It’s been a while, let’s go Are you still asking people to have dinner? I have asked the second girl to go with me tomorrow morning, so you can go by yourself."

Baoyu hesitated, and greedily looked at the square handkerchief. He dawdled here at Tanchun until Jia Mu sent someone to call for him to leave.As soon as he and Daiyu left the hospital, the waiter brought a mahogany food box and opened it. There was only a bowl of clear porridge and a plate of fresh vegetables in it, nothing else.

"Girl, why don't you use something light?" The servant secretary sent the little girl to clean up the kang table and set it up, then brought up the dishes, and Tanchun Yanyan sat up with the quilt in her arms and said, "It's these clear soups with little water, see the sky." If you don’t get sick like this, you will get sick. Tell the shrewd little girl to bring money to the big kitchen, just say that you guys want to have some fun, go and come back quickly!” The waiter took it out of the drawer He found a corner of scattered silver and sent a girl who had only saved her head to run errands, and arranged the dishes for Tanchun when she came back.

Tanchun had been ill for several days. He heard that the only son in the family school had passed away and the students came back from vacation. Baoyu plunged into the yard, and Jia Huan pouted and went back to Aunt Zhao's yard to beat him. The next day Some mother-in-law told the girl serving the book that she should be fine and no longer need to boil medicine.

As soon as the golden hoop on her head was gone, Baoyu was having fun hanging out in the team of girls' house, when she suddenly saw the girl in the room doing needlework under the sun, she remembered the handkerchief Baochai embroidered, and got up in a hurry to let Xi The crowd ran around the yard, and invited Sanchun, Daiyu and others to Lixiangyuan to search for Baochai.

A group of people came in a mighty way, and the outside of Lixiangyuan was full of green trees and a formidable scene.Walking through the narrow passage to the corner gate, Li Wan, who led the way, asked the girl to go up and knock on the door. After three rings, the black lacquered wooden door "creaked" and pulled open. A young man with a corner tied hurriedly knelt down and lowered his head when he saw the visitor, and said, "Here, ladies and gentlemen. Greetings." As he shouted, a woman who was guarding nearby rushed over, and when she saw Li Wan and Baoyu behind her, she narrowed her eyes with a smile and hurriedly said to the young man, "Go back and keep guarding your door, this is our honor. The ladies and gentlemen of the Guofu must have come to visit Miss Bao." As he spoke, he led everyone to go in, and someone else had already rushed to the main courtyard to report.

Baochai is in the East Wing's study with Bailu and the big housekeeper to calculate the accounts. Those cunning guys see the death of the Xue family master. The uncle is young and "the sky is high and the emperor is far away". It's all in disrepair, and if we don't clean it up again, I'm afraid no one will know the last name in the shop.The abacus beads were making her beat loudly when Ying'er came in and announced that the ladies and young masters from the Rongguo Mansion had come to visit.After Baochai checked the last item, he put the sign in the account book and said to Bailu and the housekeeper, "Uncle Xue, you have worked hard. You can take some back to do the rest. I will check the rest in the afternoon, and Bailu will send it off."

The butler hurriedly got up and waved his hands, saying he didn't dare, bowed, rolled up the two ledgers, turned around and went out from the other side.Su Momo helped her change her clothes, and when they entered the main room, everyone had just sat down.

First, Tanchun came to Xie Baochai to visit her a few days ago with the handwriting she usually wrote. Yingchun Xichun asked Yinger to ask for a new flower pattern. Daiyu sat aside and watched them match colors. Talking to Baochai: "I heard that sister Bao often copied scriptures and donated to temples at home in the past. I think she knows the secret of Zen..." Before he could continue talking, Su Momo just coughed lightly beside her. Said: "In the past, the slaves and maids often advised our girls to use less sandalwood in the family, so as not to change their temperament and make them unbeautiful. Previously, it was just keeping filial piety in order to accumulate some virtues for the late master, so I didn't stop it. Now my brother is It's a good age to make progress, but don't dare to talk about it."

Baoyu used to hate people telling him about economic and official careers the most, and he especially hated elderly women.Since this was the first time to visit Baochai, and seeing that people were respectful to this nanny, she paused for a while and said, "I saw the handkerchief that Sister Bao brought to Third Sister earlier. There are no such subtle tricks, can you give me a way to take it back and play with it?"

Su Momo had already felt his pulse, and took out a white satin bottom embroidered with Hui Wen's exhortation poem from the box and sent it out: "Since my brother opened his mouth, our girl has just finished embroidering and getting ready these few days." Why don't you transfer the handkerchief to the uncle as a gift?" Baoyu took it over and saw that it was full of words and sentences urging people to cherish their time and read, and there were two big ones at a time. The embroidery I saw earlier was really blue. Xin Huizhi was quite reluctant, but when she looked closely at the meaning inside, she felt dizzy, and her whole body was not well.He casually handed the things to Yinger who came over and stood by to change the hot tea, and turned his head to look anxiously at the kerchief in the shape of a butterfly on a lake-blue background that Tanchun was holding again.

As soon as he was distracted, the hatchback stretched out his hand, and the handkerchief in Baoyu's hand stabbed straight at the teacup in Yinger's hand. Half a cup of tea spilled out and dyed the good handkerchief. Yinger saw it. Hastily put down the teacup and grabbed the veil for a closer look.

"Hey! My daughter's family is so innocent, and she insists on colluding with those poor people. Alas!" Baoyu saw that Ying'er couldn't even care about the hot water, so she carefully put away the handkerchief full of exhortation poems, and endured it. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.Others are acceptable, but Daiyu, who was sitting next to Yingchun, paused with her hands, and then pretended to be indifferent, pointing to a pine flower and peach red ribbon, and said: "Who made this? Such a clever hand, and the color is also delicate and beautiful." .”

Baochai got up and walked over to have a look and said, "Ying'er hit it. This girl has been with me since she was a child, and I have never been more dexterous than her. If you have a crush on someone, ask the maid to come and ask. You can do it if you have time." Taught them to go back and fight on their own."

Baoyu was left alone again. After a while, she got up and went out without saying a word, opened the curtain, and made everyone in the room look at each other in embarrassment.But Baochai didn't care at all, still smiling and talking slowly and carefully, until when everyone said goodbye and sent them to the corner gate, he said to the doorman: "In the future, there will be male guests. Be vigilant at the door and persuade you to go back directly. How can you meet a stranger if your brother is not in my girl's house? Bai's reputation is bad for my aunt's family! It's your first offense and you won't be punished for the time being. Next time you commit a crime, you can go back to the house and change it Be clever!"

The boy hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times, "Go back to Miss, don't dare to do it again. Just now that brother walked from here to the yard angrily, and after a while, he saw a sister in autumn fragrance coming to look for her. The two went in together."

After these words, the other people's cheeks turned red, and only Li Wan and Dai Yu were ashamed.The former is a widow who lives alone. Although my brother-in-law is young, he is about to reach the age of knowing people. The girl who lives here says "it's not good to see a foreigner" in front of her, like pointing her nose and scolding her for being impolite; the latter has a delicate mind. Seeing Baochai's behavior, I thought of my own family - one lost her father and one lost her mother. The merchant's daughter even stayed at home for three years before going out, and she kept in mind the defense of men and women. She couldn't keep her mother's filial piety, and even behaved intimately with her cousin, even living in a green cupboard, it's really embarrassing!Immediately, her face was flushed like a peach blossom, but fortunately everyone had nothing to do with her, so she stumbled back to the green gauze cabinet, fell down, covered her eyes and cried.

In the evening, when Mother Jia heard that her grandson and granddaughter were upset and crying, and that they were quarreling and tempered by the children, she asked the people around her to find out what was going on. Literal, as expected. Don’t you hear that customers do as they please? The defense between men and women is really important, but our Baoyu is still a child, so why are there so many things? It’s really a small family from a merchant!” Pushing it on Mammy Su: "Sister Bao is nothing more than obedient, that nanny is really hateful, rough and vulgar, why did Aunt Xue find such a person to torture her own daughter?"

Mother Jia touched his forehead and said, "There are only such cruel parents in this world. How can they torment their children for the sake of their own face? It's just rare for your child to experience so little. Whose family There are not two or three daughters-in-law like this." Then she turned to persuade Daiyu: "Your father entrusts you to me, and you will not let you be slandered and end up with a good life. Then the big girl of the Xue family chose The servant will be dismissed in all likelihood, so just shame on her face!"

The author has something to say: I did it!Double update!Although a bit late...

In addition, the handkerchief that Jia Baoyu manages to make by himself is basically equivalent to the harassment of "please let me admire your fat times" now, and it is reasonable to be stuffed with a pair of men's boxer underwear... ..
