Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Jia Baoyu just had lunch the next day and sat in the room, idly not wanting to move.Seeing that he was not interested for two or three days, Xiren thought of an excuse, stepped forward and smiled and said, "I just said it was boring a few days ago. Where is the fun in sitting in the room? I listened to it yesterday. The girl said, the weather is warm when you come in, and the clothes of all the girls are also light, it is a good time to throw pots and write poems."

"Throwing pots to write poems? People love to be lazy in winter. After the cold winter and warm spring, I thought of making a joke. This is a good idea." Jia Baoyu was excited, but thought that all the sisters were there, and Du Dai Yuyi was not there, and said gloomily at the moment: "It's just that sister Lin is not here, after all, it will be less interesting."

Xiren said again: "Master Fushou County is busy with family affairs recently, so she must help her to decide some things. You think about her every day, and she must know it. The old lady also thinks about Lord Fushou County. The aunt is well, the old lady will send someone to pick up Fushou county master."

Then Baoyu became happy again, stood up, and saw Qingwen coming in holding a box, and asked, "Qingwen, when it was just winter, I got a palace fan of snow-colored satin, with two sides on the top. It was embroidered with red plum blossoms. I saw the style was good and the satin on it was very good, so I wanted to keep it for Sister Lin, so I asked you to put it away. Where did you put it?"

Qingwen put the box on the table, went to Boguge, looked at it carefully, searched for a while, and finally got it.He took down a square box with four corners, took a breath, and opened the lid of the box. Inside was the palace fan with bright red tassels and a knot in the shape of a plum blossom.

"Here it is." Qingwen came forward with her hands in her hands, and looked at them with Baoyu.

Baoyu looked through the box and said, "It's spring now, and it's time to use a fan." He picked up the palace fan, "This palace fan is light to hold, and the wind is also light. Sister Lin uses it Just right."

Qingwen leaned over and said: "The woman who delivered the things has gone back and forth several times, why didn't you ask her to take them earlier?"

"I wanted to wait for Sister Lin to come before giving it to her. It's not important after all. It's just that I didn't come when I waited, and I didn't come when I waited. It's already spring." Baoyu put the fan back and told Qingwen : "Take out this box and ask someone to send it to Sister Lin's house."

"Hey." Qingwen went out with the box in her hands, and after a while she called the old lady who was out, and it was Song old lady who often went to Lin's mansion.Qingwen said: "Ask someone to put on the car, and you go to Mrs. Lin's house. Inside this box are the objects that Second Master Bao gave to Fushou County Lord. You send them there."

Mrs. Song took the box and went into the courtyard gate to see Shan Liang's family. Shan Liang's family greeted her and sat down, and said: "It's really a coincidence, the empress dowager passed it on later, and our girl has gone to the palace."

The Empress Dowager liked Daiyu very much, and used to always go to the palace.Recently, because of Jia Min's heavy body and general mobilization, no word was given to her and she was allowed to stay in the mansion.Now that Jia Min has given birth smoothly, it has been more than half a month, and it is not unusual for the Empress Dowager to send Daiyu in to have a talk.

Mrs. Song said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager loves the Lord of Fushou County, so she sent the Lord to enter the palace. This is something that no one can ask for. I just came here to deliver something. I can't see you anymore. I will leave it to you, old sister." It's the same, what a coincidence or not." As he spoke, he held the box forward and said, "This is what our Second Master Bao played for the Lord Fushou County."

Shan Liang's family stopped her by raising her hand, instead of taking the box in her hand, she said: "Wait a little longer, I can't come here in vain, and I should see the master. When we watch, our wife should also be awake .” As he spoke, he raised his voice and called out, “Chuan Hua.”

"Hey!" In response, a girl wearing half-arms of snow-blue floral flowers came in, she looked five or six years old, she hadn't combed her bun yet, she looked immature and cute.He smiled when he entered the door, and asked crisply: "Mom called me?"

Shan Liang's family said with a smile: "Look at you, you don't know Zhenjing at all. Go to Congshanyuan and ask your Aunt Liuli if your wife is awake? If she asks what's the matter, say Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion. I sent someone to greet my aunt."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Chuan Hua smiled, turned around and ran out without replying, very nimble and light.

Mrs. Song said with a smile: "This girl looks very clever."

Shan Liang's family laughed: "I only raised her after I got three boys. Even though she is a girl, the three brothers in the family love her so much that it is shameful. You should temper your temper. If you are older, you should I went out to serve people. Always being rash, it’s not good after all.”

"It's fine when I look at your girl, it's not rash, it's just that children are more active, it's better if they are older."

The two talked again, and Chuanhua ran back and said with a smile, "Mom, I just asked. Aunt Liuli said that the wife is awake and in good spirits, and she told me to call someone over."

Shan Liang's family and Mrs. Song got up, and they both went to Congshanyuan.After entering the yard, someone sent a message inside.After Jia Min agreed, someone opened the curtain to let them in.

Jia Min was not yet confinement and could not see the wind, so the windows in the house were tightly closed.Bypassing the floor-to-ceiling screen, the curtain in front of the bed was lowered.Mrs. Song greeted Jia Min through a curtain, and said, "Greetings to my aunt."

Jia Min cried out and ordered to sit down again.Linglong [1] took the embroidered stool and let Mrs. Song sit on it.

Mrs. Song sat down and said with a smile: "It's too late to congratulate my aunt."

Inside the curtain, Jia Min was eating red dates and white fungus soup. Hearing this, he said, "I have raised my own child, and I have been lying in the house all the time. Although people from Rongfu came several times, I haven't seen it in detail. I heard Liuli say, Are you sent by Second Lord Bao?"

Mrs. Song bowed and said, "Yes. Second Master Bao must have obtained some fresh items, and asked his servants to send them to the Lin Mansion for the Lord Fushou County."

After Jia Min ate half a cup of soup, he put down the spoon, not wanting to eat any more.Ask someone to take it down, and say: "This soup is a bit sweet and greasy, tell them to put less rock sugar." After the order, he said: "Your second master Bao has a heart, thank you for always thinking about his sister." On the one hand, he said, On the one hand, he ordered Liuli to open the box.

"As an aunt, I can't go to see him. I happen to have a newly made cloak. Because the color is brighter, ordinary people can't resist it. Baoyu must be able to wear it." After a pause, he said: "Several girls in the house , I haven’t seen it for a while. Some things, you take them back and send them one by one. It’s not a valuable item, it’s just my mind.”

Not long after, Liuli came out holding a lacquer plate, and on it was a cloak trimmed with red and gold thread and embroidered with begonia flowers.There are also four octagonal boxes wrapped in silk and carved on the lacquer plate held by Lin Lang.

Linlang said: "Madam said, the Ching Ming flower box belongs to the second girl, and inside it is a pair of ivory combs inlaid with gemstones. The rose box belongs to the third girl, and inside it is a butterfly with a red treasure in its mouth. Ling Xiaohua Inside the box is the fourth girl’s, and inside is a lotus root piece carved with a jade tablet with the word “Fu”. Inside the rose flower box is Bao’s girl’s, and inside is a pair of white jade bracelets carved with blessings and longevity patterns.”

It's a long list, telling all about the girls.

Mrs. Song remembered the answer, and returned a few words to Jia Min before leaving.

Back to Rongguo Mansion, first talk back to Jia Baoyu, and show him the cloak.He liked it at first, but when he heard that Jia Min made it, he was even more happy, so he quickly accepted it.

Mrs. Song also said that she had something to deliver, and she wanted to go to Jia Yingchun's place.Jia Baoyu thought that the house was boring, so he went too, and Mrs. Song followed behind him holding things.

But when they arrived at Jia Yingchun's place, they didn't see her.Only the girl in her room, Xiuju, was sitting on the porch embroidering flowers. When she saw Jia Baoyu coming, she greeted Jia Baoyu and said with a smile, "It's not a coincidence that the second master came. Our girl is going to Miss Bao."

Only then did Baoyu remember Baochai's gathering of people to throw pots and write poems, so he laughed and said, "I forgot, I'll go there now."

So he led Mrs. Song to Lixiangyuan where Baochai lived, and when he approached, he heard a burst of laughter. Sure enough, Yingchun and others were here.

"You are in a good mood, and you didn't call me over." Baoyu entered the door with a smile, and saw begonias blooming all over the waterside pavilion.Jia Yingchun sat sideways on the Feilai chair in the water pavilion, holding fish food in her hand.Jia Tanchun was standing in front of the stone table, holding up the arrow to throw, and the pot to throw was placed in the distance.Jia Xichun sat on the embroidered stool, holding tea in his hand, and looked at Jia Tanchun while eating.Xue Baochai stood a few steps away from Jia Tanchun, just looking at her and smiling.

The spring scenery is picturesque, but the scenery here is three points more than the painting, it is really beautiful.

Jia Baoyu's words startled everyone. Xue Baochai was already betrothed, so it was inconvenient for him to meet and speak with Jia Baoyu.It was because of this that he was not invited.Now he came uninvited and it was hard to leave, so he had to take the round fan from Yinger's hand and cover half of his face.

When Jia Tanchun heard that he was coming, he didn't throw any pots. He smiled with an arrow and said, "Sister Lin is not here, you are not interested in playing this, and you are tired of playing that. It's no fun to mess with us. It's better to let you go, it's better." Take it easy."

Jia Baoyu walked into the water pavilion in twos and twos, pointed at Jia Tanchun and said, "You don't think about Sister Lin at all? Fortunately, today I sent people to the Lin residence, and my aunt even sent people to give you something."

While speaking, Mrs. Song came forward, greeted first, and said, "Greetings to the girls." As she spoke, she held the lacquer tray in her hands forward, and said one by one what kind of box each person should take.

Jia Yingchun was the leader, so she got up from the flying chair, went forward and took the Qingming flower box, and said with a smile: "Thank you aunt for thinking of me, I always think of aunt, but aunt's house is busy, so it's inconvenient bother."

All the sisters took things for a moment and opened them to look.But Jia Yingchun didn't look at it, asked Siqi to accept it, and asked Mrs. Song: "You went to Lin's mansion, did you see Sister Lin? I haven't seen her for a long time, but I miss her."

Mrs. Song said: "I haven't seen the Lord Fushou County, because the Empress Dowager summoned the Lord Fushou County to go to the palace. I only met my aunt through the curtain and had some conversations with my aunt."

"Going to the palace..." Jia Yingchun read a sentence, and said: "That must be very good."

Just as the words fell, a person came over from the other side and hurried forward. It was Amber in Jiamu's room. Amber said: "Second Miss, the old lady told the girl to go over!"

Jia Yingchun turned around: "I'll go right away."

Xue Baochai asked, "What's the matter in such a hurry?"

Amber panted and replied: "It is said that the old lady of the Sun family is here and wants to see the girl."

The author has something to say: Linglong [1]: After the former was sent out, another big girl came up, still named Linglong, and also had Yingluo.
