Yucuo of the Red Chamber

"Second Master, listen to Second Grandma's persuasion. How many people, Master and Wife, know that Second Master is extremely intelligent and quite talented, but he just refuses to use it in the right way. I used to be a little naughty and playful. Now You are not too young anymore, you should listen to people's advice, put more care in the right way, and make some progress, the master is happy to see it, and I don't need to control you so much to make you uncomfortable in the future." Xiren washed him while washing Son persuaded.

Such a beautiful wife, beautiful concubine, and virtuous man, he has nothing in his eyes except his career, economics, fame and fortune. It seems that a man should do these things. If he doesn't do these things, he will go astray.Baoyu sneered inwardly, sniffed his nose, and let Xiren comb his hair and change his clothes.

Now that she is married, her hair can't be let down and dressed like a boy.So they all combed up, braided, carefully coiled up, and then put on the purple gold crown, which is much simpler and more convenient than before.She also changed her body, no longer wearing those big red gowns, like a girl.Now that I am married to a daughter-in-law, I am not too young, so I should look like an adult, more mature and stable.Even if he didn't like it in his heart, he still had to change his attire.

Xiren was still so gentle and considerate. Seeing that Baoyu closed his eyes and ignored him, he asked again: "Second Master, did you not rest well? The mattress in the study outside is not comfortable, and the servants are always lazy. If no one is careful, you must The care is not thoughtful. You should come back to live, if the master finds out, he should be angry again, and it is not good for the second master."

Baochai had finished grinding the ink for him earlier, and now she came over with a pair of new shoes and put them aside, took the tea from the little girl's hand and handed it to Baoyu, saying, "Drink some tea to wake up your mind. If you really haven't had a good rest , take a break at noon, don’t read the book well, and delay your body. Those people in the outer study room don’t care about you, let you have fun, you should read in the inner study room. I have already ordered the east wing to be tidied up You will read there in the future, and we will be more careful in serving you so that you will not be wronged. If you want to sleep there occasionally, it is always cheaper. Besides, you are upset and can’t sit still. A few hours, accumulated over time, can always benefit."

It turned out that Baochai had been guarding the house for so long, but she came out of it.Baoyu's yard is huge, so it's easy to tidy up one or two study rooms and come out, and it's a matter in his own yard. Baochai probably hasn't thought of telling Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang will be happy to know about it.Probably it was because Baochai knew what was in his mind that Baochai didn't bother to ask Mrs. Wang for detailed instructions, so as not to make her worry and give her a headache.

Of course, Baochai thought about many things and made many plans while guarding Baoyu in the house.For example, if Baoyu likes Daiyu, it must be because she likes her simplicity, straightforwardness, elegance and beauty.Therefore, it is mid-spring, when the willows are showing tender teeth and the peaches are blooming new flowers, she also took off her new red clothes and put on elegant ones: a few bamboo leaves on the azure fringe jacket, and a water-green long skirt, which looks really real. Much refreshing.It's just that she is dressed like this, it seems that Baoyu has never looked at her more.But there must be a process in everything, don't be impatient.

After Baochai had finished explaining what Baochai had said there, Baoyu still had nothing to say, and Xiren happily praised: "Second Mistress is still careful and thoughtful. Although the study in the east wing is not as neat as the one outside, it is enough to read a book. With us in daily life, my master also Be more comfortable. If I can read books for three or two hours a day, and my second grandmother will guide me if I don’t understand, let alone high school this year, it will only take three or two years at most. When the time comes, the ancestors will be honored, and the old lady will like it. With the love of my mother, I won't worry about it in the future."

"Second Mistress knows the book and is a gift, so it's better to get a champion by herself, which is much better than me." Baoyu couldn't stand it anymore.

"You..." Baochai took this anger suddenly, thought about it and quickly suppressed it, otherwise it would be more difficult for him to obey after arguing, and after a while, he sneered, "If I were a man, you don't need to say that I have already graduated from high school. Why wait until now to wrong you in every possible way? What else can you do besides making rouge paste and a few unspeakable poems? If you have the ability, don’t try to be brave with me, take the exam and ride a horse through the streets or come back wearing a black gauze hat , I won’t say a word from now on, it’s up to you.”

"It doesn't matter if you're not a man. Didn't you always boast that 'a good wind will send me to Qingyun with strength'? What a good time it is now, why don't you also follow the example of Feng Suzhen in "Double Rescue Juju" and try to be the champion. When the time comes, I will I also ask Lai to be a son-in-law, and you, the second wife, can also be famous forever. And you, if you can be like Chunhong, then you will be indispensable as the third wife, who will be equally beautiful and rich." Baoyu snatched it from Xiren's hand Wipe the forehead and tie it on by yourself, then get up and prepare to go to Jiamu's for the morning.

"You..." Baochai and Xiqing's faces turned blue, and they don't know where he heard the stupid words, and now they are getting more and more crazy.

Xiren hasn't been so angry for a long time. Ever since Baochai came in, Baoyu didn't look good on her, and he didn't know why.No matter how much she coaxed her, and she worked hard enough, Baoyu didn't go to her room, and he didn't say a good word to her.Sometimes I go to Musk Moon for something, I don't know if Musk Moon has done something behind it?Thinking of this, Xiren suddenly felt a little uneasy, pointed at Sheyue and said, "Second Master has been talking more and more upside down recently, and you don't want to persuade him?"

As soon as this word came out, everyone was shocked.Baoyu didn't step out, so he stopped there, just to see what they were going to do.

Baochai was also taken aback, thinking about it carefully, could it be that Baoyu has been getting close to Sheyue recently, so that Baoyu has a newcomer and forgets the old one, and even she ignores her by the way, maybe it is not that intimacy?In that case, she might as well watch the fire from the other side and dial again by the way, so she said flatly: "Everyone is in the house, you should also persuade the second master."

Sheyue was taking Baoyu's changed clothes to wash, when she suddenly heard these two sentences that were neither hot nor cold, but she understood the meaning very clearly, and felt very uncomfortable.But Baochai is the wife's grandmother, and she has just passed through the door, and she knows a little bit about the methods, so she dare not offend. Angry, she doesn't want to.After Baochai finished speaking, Sheyue hurriedly responded: "Second Mistress said very well. It's just that Second Mistress knew the book and respected the ceremony, and what she said was all the truth, and the Second Master refused to listen. Xiren is virtuous and dignified, and the most popular The second master is trustworthy. She used to serve the second master. You know this second mistress. Now even she can't persuade the second master. I'm just a rough worker, so I'm afraid I don't have the time to talk. If you talk too much, the more you If you broke the rules, or made a mistake and offended the Lord, if there is something wrong with it, I ask Second Mistress to be sympathetic."

"Don't be sloppy with me. Don't look at you. I don't know. Who the second master believes or not is his business. If you still know your duty, then you should abide by the rules. Now Grandpa is not young anymore, he is no longer at the age of playing around, he should behave in a proper way in everything. If it is still like this, I will not be able to serve. I will go back to my wife tomorrow. It is better to go home. Save It’s not good enough to break your heart.” As Xiren said, weeping and serving Baoyu hard, not only Baoyu didn’t think of her hard work, but also the second grandmother didn’t help her, and even Sheyue dared to say that she , The more I thought about it, the more wronged I became, and I fell the curtain and went back to the house crying.

Xiren can't help being wronged. He has worked so hard to serve Baoyu for so many years, and he has devoted himself to doing his best. He originally hoped that the second mistress would come in and take her into the house in a few days. .After all, Baochai has a lot of credit for being able to enter the door. Even if others don't know, Baochai must know.Who knew that Baochai and her were as close as sisters in the past, but now they are clearly separated from her.And looking at Mrs. Wang's situation, she is too busy to care about her now. She was willing to help Mrs. Wang with everything for the position of the second-wife grandmother, and she did it. her?

Thinking of those things, Xi Ren felt a little regretful.To be honest, if Daiyu were to be the second mistress, even though she was bitter and mean, she would treat her servants generously, otherwise Zijuan might not be so bold; besides, Daiyu is an orphan girl, unable to speak alone, and she is not allowed to listen to her in everything three points?Even if Zijuan is smart, she might be able to sit on an equal footing with her, but she has already accepted Baoyu's heart, and she also has Mrs. Wang's heart. It is not difficult to be alienated, at least it should be easier to deal with than Yinger.

Ying'er looks honest, she is not easy to deal with if she has Baochai on her back, and she also has Baochai's backing, and her mother is there, unlike Zijuan's mother who is still in the south and cannot be relied on.Sigh... One mistake becomes eternal regret, regret and hatred... As Xiren lay on the bed, the more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, and now Zhu Bajie is not a human being when she looks in the mirror, what can she do?As usual, it was probably time for Baoyu to beg her, and then let her say what she said and then obeyed her, but now?Who knows if she can keep her position.

To say that Xiren should not wait until now to regret.Now there are three daughters of the Wang family in Jia's house, and one granddaughter of the Wang family, she should see clearly.The first Mrs. Wang, she took care of Aunt Zhao to death. Now that her children are grown up, they are almost like a girl. She has to serve her every day, and she even scolds her from time to time.If it's an ordinary girl, she can just scold her a few words, but Aunt Zhao has a son who is a thorn in her side, so the scolding is naturally even more severe.If it was added that Jia Zheng had always favored Aunt Zhao, she would be even more upset.

Aunt Xue, although she is a guest, but Baochai has no brothers and sisters from concubines, so I know that if Master Xue doesn't have concubines, or if he has concubines or loves, he doesn't dare to favor too much. As for whether he has any children, it is unknown.But Baochai passed away when Master Xue was several years old. It is said that if there is a concubine Ji, she should also have children. From this point of view, it is self-evident, at least it is almost the same.
