Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

But when Baochai heard Baoyu's words in Yihongyuan, she felt embarrassed immediately, and felt that she had caught the attacker's handle, so she got up and left quickly.After walking straight out of Yihong Courtyard, she still only felt her chest beating non-stop, and her body was hot with embarrassment.She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, and she has accidentally read many books such as "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Story of the West Chamber", "The Story of the Flying Swallow" and so on. Knowing everything by heart, she naturally understood where the embarrassment in her body came from.

Even so, she is still a girl in a boudoir, and she didn't know how to relieve this kind of thing, so she took out a cold fragrance pill from her bosom and took it, only then did she feel the heat flow in her body gradually recede .But what Baochai didn't expect was that it was precisely because of this that she would completely lose her fertility in the future, but these are all things for later, so I won't mention them here for the time being.

After Baochai left the Lixiangyuan, she didn't know where to go for a while, so she wandered aimlessly.But at this time, Yinger, her maidservant, ran over and said to Baochai, "Miss, so you are here, but I am exhausted looking for you." What's the matter, seeing you running like this?" Baochai saw that Ying'er's face was covered with sweat, and knew that she really was looking for her urgently, so she relaxed her expression, but she couldn't help being surprised.

Ying'er took a breath for a while, and then said: "I'm looking for girls up front. Uncle Ningfu Zhen sent a message, saying that he is inviting the old ladies, wives, Second Master Bao and all the girls to attend an opera." , the second wife asked me to look for the girl, but the girl was wandering here, I hate that Xiren's hoof lied to me that the girl went to the second girl's place, I ran to the second girl's place and didn't see the girl, so I came here to look for her, But I'm exhausted!"

When Baochai heard the words, she was surprised and said: "There is no reason for this, it's not a regular day, it's not a festival, and I haven't heard of anyone in Ning's mansion who celebrates their birthday these days, so why just set up wine to listen to it?" Play?" Ying'er said: "I heard that Miss Lin's brother is going to visit Ning's mansion, so there will be a banquet in Shangning's mansion today." Ying'er has lived in Baochai since she was four years old. Waiting in front of her, she naturally thought that her own girl was incomparable, so she was extremely dissatisfied with Daiyu being named a princess for Baochai, so she still called Daiyu "Miss Lin" in private, and did not call her "Miss Lin". It is "princess".When Baochai heard the words, she asked, "Since you are Miss Lin's brother, why don't you come to this mansion, but to an outsider's mansion?"

After hearing this, Ying'er was about to answer, but she heard Baochai sneer and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with me." After speaking, she thought to herself again: "Now I hear that the holy family of Miss Lin's house is on the verge of prosperity. Even Babeile and the others have to look up to Uncle Lin's breath, thinking that this Lin girl's brother will definitely be a high-ranking and powerful man in the future, if he doesn't worry about it now, and only counts on this mansion, I'm afraid there is nothing to look forward to." Think Bi, Yin said to Ying'er: "Ying'er, let's go back to Lixiangyuan to prepare some gifts, so as not to make people laugh at the dignity of this mansion." Between words, he seemed to regard himself as the head of Rongguo Mansion people.

Ying'er agreed, and went back to Lixiangyuan with Baochai.Baochai changed into a new light orange dress, the golden lock on her chest was shining brightly, and ordered Yinger to take out a high-quality nine-pattern Panlong jade pendant from the box.Hearing this, Ying'er was surprised and said, "Girl, are you going to give this jade pendant to Miss Lin's brother?" Baochai said, "Now our Xue family is gradually losing its status, but Miss Lin's family is in decline. It’s like cooking oil in a raging fire, and the flowers flourish like brocade, now we can only rely on others for the time being, although this Nine Dragon Jade is precious, but if we can exchange it for some benefits, it will be worth a lot.”

After hearing this, Ying'er had to take the nine-pattern panlong jade pendant and hand it to Baochai, but she felt that it was worthless in the end, because she said, "Girl, you and Miss Lin are at odds, so give this nine-dragon jade pendant away." I still doubt whether it is worth the money." Baochai said with a smile: "You just need to rest assured, have you ever seen your girl do something that I am not sure about? Besides, that girl Lin's brother also I'm only a few months older than Huan'er, how many people can I understand? I can only speak softly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to win him over?" Yinger heard that Baochai was so confident, so she stopped What more to say.

At this moment, Hu Po hurried in and said to Baochai with a smile: "Miss Bao, are you ready? The old ladies and wives are waiting for Miss Bao to go to the East Mansion to listen to the opera." Chai had always known that Amber was the most important maid besides the mandarin ducks around Jia Mu, and now that Jia Mu sent Hu Po to remind her, she must be dissatisfied because she was waiting for her alone.So Baochai hurriedly said with a smile: "It took some time to dress up just now. I'm sorry to keep the old lady waiting for a long time. Let's go now." After saying a few words, she hurriedly led Ying'er out of the Pear Fragrance Garden, and did not see Hu Po's playful smile flashing across her face behind her, as if she had found a prey, which was very meaningful.

Baochai led Ying'er to the front, greeted Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and said with a smile, "Baochai has been delayed for some time because of dressing. I hope the old lady is not to blame." Jia Mu glanced at Baochai's face Dressed up, she said with a smile: "Bao girl's makeup is very bright today." Sister Feng listened to it, and said with a smile: "What the ancestors said is true. Sister Bao has always been very outstanding, but in the past I don't pay much attention to dressing up, this dressing up is many times better than our burnt papers, and in our family, only Sister Lin can compare with Sister Bao." Sister Feng said that Coincidentally, on the one hand, he praised Baochai's beauty, and on the other hand, he insinuated that Baochai was just a guest, but he took the lead and dressed up better than the girls in the mansion. He couldn't get annoyed, so he blushed with shame and didn't dare to say more.

After hearing this, Jia Mu laughed and said, "You are a monkey, and Bao girl is also your cousin. I praise her, but why are you jealous? Bao girl is just because her brother's wedding is approaching. That's why I paid more attention to dressing up, but you can make up such a call, it's really your mouth, it's not good." Baochai was not surprised when she saw Jia's mother rescued herself, and peeked at Jia's mother's expression, but saw He joked and joked as usual, nothing unusual, and gradually dispelled the doubts in his heart.

When Sister Feng heard what Jiamu said, she pretended to cry and said, "I knew that my ancestors always liked beautiful girls. I'm already a yellow flower of yesterday. How can my ancestors still have eyes? That's all, that's all, let me see." Then I'd better go to Brother Zhen's house to ask for a couple of drinks to be serious." After hearing this, Jia Mu pushed Yuanyang and said, "Yuanyang, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you twist Feng girl's mouth, and even I They were also compiled together."

After hearing this, Yuanyang smiled and said: "The old lady wants the servant girl to twist the mouth of Second Mistress Lian, but the servant girl dare not. Today, Young Master Lin is going to be a guest in the East Mansion, and Second Mistress Lian is also going to listen to the opera. If the old lady Let the servant twist the mouth of Lian's second grandma, do you want to see Lian's second grandma today?" Sister Feng smiled after hearing Yuanyang's words: "Amitabha, I know that my sister loves me the most. Thank you sister, I will find a good brother-in-law for my sister tomorrow!" Yuanyang blushed when she heard this, because she said: "This is what a grandma said? But I can't forgive you." Well, he made a gesture to twist Sister Feng's mouth, and Sister Feng hurriedly said: "My dear sister, please forgive me for this, and I will never dare again next time."

When Jia Mu heard this, she stopped Yuanyang and said, "Okay, don't bother her anymore. As you said, if you really twist her mouth today, how can she see people?" Sighed: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Qiongyu's child until now, and I don't know when he came to Beijing. That girl Yu'er doesn't kiss me anymore. In the past two years, I have sent someone to pick him up." She, but she was always pushing back and forth, even though she was engaged to be married to Sibeile, she didn't send anyone to notify her. She even took the child Qiongyu away from this mansion, even if she came now, she was going to the East mansion. "

Sister Feng Yuanyang heard the words and was about to speak out to comfort her when a maid named Glass came in and said, "Old lady, Master Zhen sent someone to say that Master Lin is coming soon, please hurry up, old lady and ladies and girls." Let's go in a while." After hearing this, Jia's mother hurriedly said, "Hurry up, let's go, I'm going to see my grandson." When everyone heard the words, they hurriedly ordered people to bring a soft sedan chair over, and helped Jia's mother onto the soft sedan chair. The sedan chair goes to Ningguo Mansion.

When Jiamu and others arrived at Ningguo Mansion, it happened that Qier and Qiongyu had a face-to-face meeting.When everyone saw Qiongyu's appearance, they were stunned for a while, and they sighed that God prefers, Zhong Lingyuxiu all come from the Lin family, the sisters Miaoyu and Daiyu are already the most beautiful in the world, but this Qiongyu was also born out of the ordinary Different, he didn't know what words to use to express it, it just made people feel that any words such as handsome, personable, and extraordinary temperament seemed so obscure on him.

Indeed, Qiongyu's current appearance was such that even Daiyu, who had just returned to Beijing, was taken aback. After pulling Qiongyu to look left and right, Fang asked Qiongyu in a daze: "Are you really my brother?" Is it Qiongyu? Why haven’t I seen you for two years, and I don’t recognize her anymore, it’s getting more and more troublesome!” Qiongyu heard her sister look at herself over and over again like admiring an antique, and finally came up with “the trouble.” "This conclusion makes me feel wry. It's not his choice. To be honest, he doesn't want to grow up like this. Whenever he goes out by himself, he feels that the eyes around him are very enthusiastic, and those girls all turn to him. Throwing the sachet and silk handkerchief by myself made me have a headache.

Baoyu stared blankly at Qiongyu for a long while, then Fang asked, "Are you Cousin Lin? You really are a rare one." After speaking, he looked at Qiongyu's appearance carefully again, but saw that Qiongyu was tall and tall. He was more than a head taller than himself, his face seemed to be carved out of a whole piece of beautiful jade, and his facial features were all embellished just right. He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe inlaid with yellow, which set off the jade like a jade tree in the Qionglin forest. He added a bit of aristocratic air, but also showed a bit of indifference like a wild crane. With a slight smile, the sun and the moon faded, and the world was gloomy, as if he was the only scenery in the world.

Seeing that Baoyu looked at her with obsession in his eyes, Qiongyu was very annoyed in her heart, because she said to herself: "I often hear my sister say that the second brother Bao of Rongguo Mansion is a bit of a man, but I didn't expect it to be so. Unbearable! How dare you be so blatantly contemptuous of me, if you don’t give him some color, I’m not Lin Qiongyu!” Thinking of this, Qiongyu’s face was covered with frost, and she was the little girl serving tea and snacks We all felt a sudden cold wind blowing straight into our necks.

Jia Zhen knew that Qiongyu hated others staring at him the most, so seeing Baoyu's obsessed expression, she guessed that Qiongyu must be annoyed early in the morning.Of course, he also knows that Qiongyu looks like Lin Ruhai on the surface with a bit of elegance, but in fact it is not the case. Although Qiongyu is only 13 years old, her temperament is more ruthless than Sibeile, and she beats people. There is no wound, no blood will be seen when killing, so anyone who knows about Qiongyu will not take the initiative to provoke him. If he really annoys him, he will poke a hole in the sky, and no one will dare to say anything about him.So when Jia Zhen saw the faint anger on Qiongyu's face, he didn't care about it, and just watched the play with a smile.

And Qiongyu naturally saw the playful smile on Jia Zhen's face, so he would not let Jia Zhen watch the play, so he asked Jia Zhen, "Brother Zhen, I am visiting your Ningguo Mansion." , why so many irrelevant people came?”

Jia Zhen said with a smile: "It's nothing, but the family has been very deserted recently. Zhuo Jing wanted to set up two tables of banquets. He heard that the play was lively, so he brought the old ladies and wives and other masters of the Rongguo Mansion together with the girls. I invited you here together, but I didn’t expect that the day you came here will be the same day as your cousin.” Qiongyu snorted coldly, and then said: “In this case, there is no need for me to see them anymore. Brother Zhen, I think you should be very clear about the purpose of my coming to you."

When Jia Zhen heard the words, she couldn't help but become serious, and said: "Of course I know, this is not a place to talk, come with me to my study." After speaking, she wanted to take Qiongyu to the study and go.It was so difficult for Jia's mother to see Qiongyu, and she was trying to do everything possible to keep him in Jia's mansion, especially if it would be better if Qiongyu could marry a girl from Jia's mansion, but after Qiongyu came, Without even looking at them, she wanted to talk to Jia Zhen in the study, so she hurriedly asked Jia Zhen, "Zhen'er, what do you have to say, can't you let me know?"

Qiongyu's handsome eyes narrowed slightly, her cold eyes were like ice and snow in the cold winter, she opened her thin lips lightly, and said, "Does Mrs. Jia want to participate in political affairs?" Forced a smile uglier than crying, said: "How come? I just saw you Qiong'er for the first time, and I just couldn't let go." Qiongyu said: "I haven't left yet. I came to Ningguo Mansion to discuss some political matters with Brother Zhen, not to drink tea with you ladies and tell jokes!" After saying that, regardless of Jia Mu's reaction, he followed Jia Zhen with great strides. Went to the study.

As soon as the two of them entered the study, Jia Zhen couldn't wait to ask Qiongyu: "How is she?" When Zhen heard this, a layer of embarrassing blush appeared on her face, and she said, "Stop joking, tell me quickly, but how is she doing? I don't even know if she hasn't been by my side for the past two years." How did the time pass?" Qiongyu listened, sighed, and then said: "Brother Zhen, don't worry, sister Ke'er is very good, but I don't know who seems to be secretly investigating Ke'er Sister, people often disturb you in the middle of the night, but they are all sent away by the hidden guards of Prince Kang's Mansion."

"That's good, that's good." When Jia Zhen heard that Ke Qing was fine, she felt relieved, because she said, "As long as Ke Er is fine, I can rest easy and do what I should do." Yu Wenyan's eyes flashed, and then he said: "Brother Zhen, I'm here this time because the fourth brother and the second sister asked me to tell you that it's time to do it. In addition, after this matter is over, Brother Zhen, you You will be able to stay with Sister Ke'er with a clear identity. The fourth brother has already begged the emperor's uncle to give Sister Ke'er a clear identity. When the time comes, you will also leave the mansion. Change your identity and marry Sister Ke'er. It is." Jia Zhen was overjoyed when she heard this.

The two talked for a long time, and suddenly heard Jia Zhen say: "To tell you the truth, there are no others in this mansion. I only welcome the spring and cherish the spring. I don't feel so relieved." Qiongyu laughed unconsciously Said: "Just relax, the second sister once said that she hasn't been with Sister Ying and Sister Xi for a long time, but she thinks she knows them very well. You can knead as much as you want, but it is not the case. Sister Ying hides her secrets and has a rough heart. I think Sister Ying will have a way to get out when the time comes; Sharp, if you think about it, you will definitely be able to protect your Zhouquan, if you really can't, the second sister will definitely come to the rescue."

When Jia Zhen heard the words, she sighed unconsciously, and said, "I hope it is as you said." After speaking, Jia Zhen turned around again, took out a book from the bookshelf behind her, and handed it to you. Said to Qiongyu: "I have kept this thing for more than ten years, now seeing that the two mansions are about to collapse gradually, and seeing that this thing is useless, you just take it back and give it to the fourth master. He will definitely be able to help fourth master in the future."

Qiongyu opened it and flipped through it, but was stunned because she asked in a daze, "Brother Zhen, how did you have this thing?" Yin said again: "I see, don't worry, I will hand over this thing to the fourth brother."
