Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Baoyu really did what the scorpion-headed monk and the lame Tao said. During these 33 days, it became more and more like a day, and even his complexion was much better than usual. Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were very happy .However, when Aunt Zhao saw Baoyu like this, she didn't feel a secret hatred in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, so she had to go back to her yard and sulk.

At this time, Jia Huan stepped in. Seeing Aunt Zhao's uneasy expression, she knew what was going on, so she sat down in front of Aunt Zhao and asked, "Is mother angry for Brother Bao?" Hearing this, he couldn't help saying angrily: "What kind of elder brother is he? He only treats you as a slave!"

After hearing this, Jia Huan laughed and said, "What is mother doing with such idleness? But I don't regard them as relatives in my heart!" Then he said: "I also know that my mother is wholeheartedly for me, and she really wants to be here. The mansion is fighting for a position. Only the mother has to think about it. Even if Baoyu is really lost, I am afraid that the family business in the mansion will not be my turn. Why would my mother bother to fight for these things, so I don’t have to make myself angry !"

Aunt Zhao glanced at Jia Huan and said, "I'm trying to fight for you!" Jia Huan sneered, and said, "Mother doesn't have to fight for that anymore! Tell mother the truth, I'll follow Sange Lin Learning martial arts, Sange Lin treated me very well. He also said that according to my background, if I go to the barracks to experience some experience, I can still win a place. And Sange Lin also told me that it is as good as our mansion. Yes, even the prince's mansion is very rare, if you have a heart, you can copy this mansion just for the crime of "overstepping the system"! Therefore, Lin Sange said, if you don't want to be robbed by this mansion If you are tired, it is better to give this mansion as soon as possible!"

Aunt Zhao knew that Lin Wenfu was referring to Lin Wenfu when Jia Huan said "Third Brother Lin", and she also knew Lin Wenfu's identity, so she thought what he said must be true, so she asked in surprise, "He really said that?" Jia Huan Said: "Can I still lie to my mother?" After hearing this, Aunt Zhao asked, "What should I do?" Go to Fengtai camp to practice, if you can make some military achievements and get an official position, you can leave this mansion, and then you will have nothing to do with this mansion."

When Aunt Zhao heard the words, she couldn't help but feel relieved, because she was suspicious again: "Then why does Master Lin help you like this?" The third brother is secretly taking care of me, Brother Lang and my sister-in-law, so we have lived in this mansion for the past two years, and life is better than in previous years."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao sighed: "Unexpectedly, Princess Chenyu took care of me and you more." Since Tanchun entered the uterus as a side Fujin, although his status in the mansion has improved a little, but She was still looked down upon by others, because Tanchun never asked about the matter between herself and Jia Huan, and even asked people to take a message, so gradually, Aunt Zhao became cold-hearted towards Tanchun, and only wanted to think about Jia Huan. It is enough for Huan to live well, that's why she thought of buying Ma Daopo and killing Baoyu, so that Jia Huan could take control of Jia's family business.

Not to mention Aunt Zhao's place, but here Aunt Xue and Baochai went to Jiangyunxuan to see Baoyu. When they saw many maids and women standing in the corridors inside and outside Baoxia, they knew that Mother Jia and others were here.The mother and daughter came in, and everyone had seen Baoyu lying on the couch.Aunt Xue asked if he was feeling better.Baoyu was about to bow, and promised "it's better", and said, "just disturb my aunt, sister, I can't bear it."

Aunt Xue hurriedly helped him to sleep, and then asked him, "Just tell me what you want." Baoyu said with a smile, "I think of it, of course I will go with my aunt." Mrs. Wang asked again, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you when I come back." Baoyu laughed and said, "I don't really want to eat anything, but the soup with little lotus leaves and lotus pods that I made that time is better."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Listen, the taste is not noble, but it's too tooth-grinding. I really want to eat this." Jia Mu asked people to do it.Sister Feng said with a smile, "don't worry, old ancestor. When I think about it, who will take care of this model?" Because she turned around and told a woman to ask the kitchen manager to go.

The woman went there for a long time, and said back and forth: "The kitchen manager said that four sets of soup molds have been delivered." When Sister Feng heard about it, she thought about it and said, "I remember who I gave it to, and it was probably in the tea room. " On the one hand, he sent someone to ask the teahouse manager, but he didn't accept it.After the second time, the gold and silver utensils were sent.

When Aunt Xue took it over to have a look, it turned out to be a small box containing four sets of silver molds, each more than one foot long and one inch square, with holes the size of beans, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, lotus pods, and water chestnuts. There are thirty or forty samples in total, and they are very exquisitely typed.Yin smiled and said to Mrs. Jia Muwang: "Your family is also thinking about it. You still look like this when you eat a bowl of soup. If you don't say it, I won't know what it is for when I see it."

Sister Feng didn't wait for anyone to speak, so she smiled and said, "Auntie knows that this is the way to prepare meals in the old year. They don't know what kind of noodles to print, and borrow the fragrance of new lotus leaves, all thanks to good soup. , After all, it’s not interesting, someone’s family eats him. How did he remember it today when he did it that way.” Then he took it, handed it to a woman, and ordered the kitchen to get a few chickens immediately, In addition, something was added to make more than ten bowls.

Mrs. Wang said: "What do you want these for?" Sister Feng said with a smile: "There is a reason: this kind of thing is not often made at home. Brother Bao brought it up today, and he only cooks it for him. The old lady, aunt, and wife all like it." It doesn't seem good if you don't eat it. Why don't you take advantage of the situation and get everyone to eat it, and even I will try something new."

After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "Monkey, be good to you! Take the money from the officials and be a man." Everyone who said that laughed.Sister Feng also hurriedly laughed and said, "It's irrelevant. I can still be filial to this little host." Then she turned and told the woman, "Tell it to the kitchen, just make up for it, and get the money on my account." The woman People agreed to go.

Baochai smiled and said, "I've been here for two years. Look carefully. How coincidental is Feng girl? She couldn't be an old lady." What a coincidence. Back then, I was as old as Brother Feng, and I was better than him. Although he is not as good as us now, he is worse than your aunt. Your aunt is pitiful, she doesn’t talk much, she is like a piece of wood , in front of her in-laws, she doesn't show her kindness very much. Feng'er has a good mouth, so how can people complain and love him."

Baoyu laughed and said, "If you say that, it doesn't hurt people who don't talk much?" Jia Mu said, "There's something hurtful about those who don't talk much, and there's something wrong with being obedient. It's better not to talk."

Baoyu laughed and said: "That's it. I said that the elder sister-in-law doesn't talk much, and the old lady treats her the same way as Sister Feng. If it's just those who can talk, it's painful, and among these sisters, it's only Sister Feng and Sister Lin. It's over." Then he sighed: "It's a pity that sister Lin is not at our house." The words were full of regret and sigh.

Jia Mu said: "When I mention sisters, it's not that I flatter you in front of my aunt. It's true. Counting from the four girls in our family, they are not as good as Bao girl." The old lady said it wrong." Mrs. Wang hurriedly laughed again: "The old lady often tells me that Bao girl is good to me behind my back, which is not a lie." When Baochai came, he was surprised, so he looked at Baochai and smiled.But Baochai turned her head away to talk to Xiren.

Suddenly someone came to invite dinner, Jia Mufang stood up, ordered Baoyu to have a good life, and told the girls again, Fang helped Sister Feng, let Aunt Xue, and everyone went out of the room.Because he asked if the soup was ready, he asked Aunt Xue and others: "What do you want to eat, just tell me, I have the ability to ask Feng girl to get it for us to eat."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "The old lady will also hate her. Often she makes something to honor her, but she can't eat much after all." Sister Feng said with a smile: "Don't say that, aunt. Human flesh is sour, you have already eaten me back." Without saying a word, everyone in Jia's mother burst into laughter.

Baoyu couldn't help laughing in the room.Xiren laughed and said, "Second grandma's mouth is really afraid of death!" Baoyu stretched out his hand to hold Xiren and said with a smile, "You have been standing for half a day, are you tired?" sat down.

Xiren laughed and said, "But I forgot again. While Miss Bao is in the yard, you tell Miss Bao to trouble Yinger to tie some nets." Baoyu laughed and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, otherwise I really have to forget It's over." Then he raised his head and said out of the window: "Sister Bao, call Ying'er after dinner, and trouble her to make a few ties, can you have some free time?"

When Baochai heard this, she turned her head and said, "Why don't you be free? Just call her later."

Jia Mu and others stopped before they heard the truth, because they asked Baochai what was the matter.When Baochai explained it, everyone could understand.

Jia's mother said again: "Good boy, ask her to make some for your brother. If you don't have anyone to order, I have a lot of idle girls over there. Whoever you like, just call to order." Aunt Xue, Baochai, etc. They all laughed and said: "Just ask her to do it, there is no place to order her. She is also idle and mischievous every day."

After dinner, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue went to Mrs. Wang's room by themselves. Mrs. Wang asked Aunt Xue: "Sister, you said that the old lady suddenly became so affectionate with Bao girl today, but would she do it for the sake of her?" What's the matter?" Aunt Xue frowned, and after thinking for a while, she said, "To be honest, sister, I don't know either. You've been smarter than me since you were a child, so think about it too. Will the old lady be tempting us? , thinking that the idea of ​​a golden and jade marriage has been put on hold for so long, and Bao girl has not married for a long time, I don't know what the old lady has in mind."

Mrs. Wang said: "I hope the old lady has some ideas, so that I can deal with it. But the old lady doesn't reveal her intentions at all, so I don't have a bottom line in my heart. In addition, today Baoyu mentioned The old lady didn't pick up on that vicious girl from the Lin family, and she didn't know what was going on in her heart, alas..." Mrs. Wang sighed, feeling more and more uneasy.

After a while, Mrs. Wang said again: "Sister, I think Bao girl is not young anymore. If you delay it any longer, I'm afraid it won't work. Why don't you choose an auspicious day in two days and let the matter of Bao girl and Baoyu go?" What do you think?" Aunt Xue knew that Baochai wanted to marry Lin Wenfu, but she just kept it from Mrs. Wang, so she felt a little embarrassed: "But the old lady doesn't like Baochai very much. Girl, besides, I don't know what my brother-in-law means? What if...wouldn't it hurt Bao girl?"

Mrs. Wang frowned, because she said: "Sister, do you mean that I will still harm Bao girl?" There was a faint layer of anger in her tone.Aunt Xue said: "That's not what I said, I just thought it would be better to be safe after all." Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said: "Forget it, I will go to the palace to meet Fujin and Sanya some other day, I think I can get her Sisters orally." Because Mrs. Wang was very displeased with Tanchun, a concubine's daughter, whose status was higher than her own daughter, but she couldn't say anything because of the imperial decree, so she only said behind her back. Yuanchun is "Fujin", and Tanchun is "Three Girls".

Aunt Xue heard what Mrs. Wang said, so she could only say: "That's all."

Let’s put aside the discussion between Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue about how to settle the matter of the “Golden Jade Match”, and only talk about Chengde Mountain Resort, but there are also many people who are thinking about Daiyu and Miaoyu’s marriage, especially It belonged to Daiyu. After all, although Daiyu called Miaoyu "sister" in her mouth, and Miaoyu was also considered to be from the Lin family, Daiyu was Lin Ruhai's daughter in the end.
