[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu had just had dinner and was reclining in front of the couch with her eyes closed.Seeing Baochai coming, she was very happy, and hurriedly ordered Zijuan to bring tea, and after listening to Baochai's detailed account of the house she saw, she smiled and said, "Sister Bao said yes, it must be good, so why ask me? But he said again: "I only think that Sister Daobao has a lot of business affairs, and it must take a few days to get news. I didn't expect it to be so fast, so I'm optimistic about it."

Baochai hurriedly said: "Today I went to the shop to do some errands. When I passed by, I saw a red paper pasted on a house, saying it was for sale. By chance, I went in and took a look. I thought it was quite elegant. If you want to see it, how about we tell the old lady in a few days and go out to see it together?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "I said before that if you say yes, it must be good. Why should I look again. It's just that I entrusted my sister to take care of the house for the time being."

Baochai nodded again and again, but said: "Now I just made an appointment with the owner of the house to buy it, but the deed has not been transferred. When the house changes my sister's name, I'm afraid it will take some time."

While he was talking, he suddenly heard Yinger covering his mouth and laughing.

Baochai always treated Yinger like her own sister and brother, and refused to restrain her by rules. Unexpectedly, she was so rude in front of Lin Daiyu at this time, and she felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, and hurriedly asked, "Yinger, what are you laughing at?" ? It's because I spoiled you all day, and you're so unruly!"

Ying'er was originally talking to Xueyan in a low voice. She and Baochai had a good relationship, and she was bold and fearless. Hearing Baochai's question, she came over gracefully and said with a smile: "Young lady, this is a shame. I have been wronged. Isn't it funny what the girl said?" Then he said to Lin Daiyu: "Miss Lin doesn't know something. Our girl just told you that she didn't tell the truth, but I was afraid that she would punish me, so I didn't dare to go into details."

Lin Daiyu glanced at Baochai, her heart moved, and she smiled at Yinger: "You just want to support me by saying that. It's just that I've always been afraid of your girl, so I dare not be the master."

Baochai said helplessly: "You all join forces to run on me. Forget it, Yinger, if you want to say something, just say it. I want to see what is going on in your head. If you laugh for no reason , you must be punished twice."

Everyone knows that she has always been lenient.Now hearing her say that, everyone laughed.

Then I heard Ying'er say to Daiyu mysteriously: "Miss Lin doesn't know something. Our girl has put in a lot of effort for Miss Lin's garden. I'm afraid that when the girl didn't mention this matter earlier, she pre-empted it. Take care. When the girl mentions this once in a while, she seems to have received an urgent order to go out today. If there is something to do in the shop, she is obviously going to look after the garden for the girl. The garden..."

"Enough!" Baochai said suddenly with a serious face.

Ying'er knew that she was really angry, she was startled, and didn't dare to say any more.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was very strange.Baochai always felt that Daiyu's gaze was sweeping back and forth on her face, as if she was searching for something, so she had to lower her eyes, not daring to respond to her gaze, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent in embarrassment. with.

At this moment, Zicuckoo came in with a tea tray.Baochai came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I still have things to do, so I don't want to sit too much. The days are short and the sky is long. If Sister Lin has nothing to do, it's good to relax in the garden. Don't sleep too much during the day, so as not to sleep at night. Miss Sutou..." Rubbling on, there was a thousand words in her heart that she wanted to confide, and suddenly she remembered, could the maids around her not take care of such trivial matters?Even when the maids and mothers are careless, there is still Jia Baoyu, who is delicate and gentle, who is dedicated to doing things for girls.At the moment, he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"You——" Daiyu listened to Baochai's explanation in silence, and deeply felt her meticulous and considerate, but her heart was full of mixed feelings. She was feeling grateful, but she heard Baochai say: "I'm going now." Daiyu When Yudai got up to see her off, she repeatedly waved her hands and said no, as if she was fleeing away with Yinger.

On the other hand, Zijuan came over and asked Lin Daiyu seriously: "Just now I heard Miss Bao and Yinger talking about the garden in the outer room. What's going on? Could it be that the girl wants to build a house outside?"

Daiyu was startled, and then said nonchalantly, "Where is it? I'm afraid you've misheard it. How can there be any other gardens? This is clearly what Sister Bao and Ying'er said."

Zijuan was dubious, and was about to ask, when suddenly he saw a figure flashing outside, and said with a smile on his face, "Second Master Bao is here."

Before Daiyu could react, Zijuan had already gone up to meet her and blocked the door: "Second master came so late, but my girl has already fallen asleep."

Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister Zijuan is lying to me again. Could it be that I am blind and can't see it?" All the way, laughing and playing with Zijuan, they walked into the room and asked first, "Is my sister better today?"

Seeing this scene, Daiyu suddenly felt extremely bored.

Zijuan was not a maid brought by Daiyu from the Lin family, but a second-class maid named Yingge who was next to Jiamu.At that time, Mother Jia saw that Daiyu had only brought her nurse and Xueyan with her. She was afraid that she would not be able to serve her wholeheartedly, so she gave her Zijuan. In a blink of an eye, several years had passed.She is almost reaching the age of Ji, and Zijuan is a big girl.

Zijuan does her best to serve Daiyu, and Daiyu always regards Zijuan as her confidant, but Xueyan, the maid who brought her from Lin's house, falls behind.

It's just that recently, for some reason, Daiyu gradually looked at Zicuckoo, and the more she looked at it, the more unpleasant she became.Xueyan is childish, innocent and romantic, and never talks about people's right and wrong, but Zijuan has good ears and eyes, and often tells Daiyu the news she inquires from outside.

For example, Zijuan once told Daiyu that Baochai came to Jia's house to compete with her for Jia Baoyu, and that Baochai treated her so that she could secretly harm her.But now that Daiyu has been on the sidelines for so many years, Baochai has always treated Jia Baoyu indifferently. Although she also takes care of her on weekdays, it is just the affection of relatives, and it is no different from Jia Lian, Jia Huan and others.Now, he deliberately draws a clear line with Jia's family, and tries his best to move out of the Grand View Garden. In any case, it doesn't look like he wants to have anything to do with Jia Baoyu.

For another example, Zijuan kept telling Daiyu that she and Jia Baoyu grew up together, and they had an extraordinary relationship, and they were the best candidates for husband-in-law.It is said that all men in the world are the same, marrying back a celestial being can only be fresh for a few days, and within a few days they will be like mud bricks and tiles, Daiyu is quite tempted and hesitant.But when he was awake, from the outside, Zijuan praised Baoyu so much in Daiyu's ear, but it was just for his own consideration.As soon as her mother was pinched by Jiamu, she naturally wanted to take Jiamu's preferences as her favorite.Secondly, Daiyu and Zijuan have a good relationship, no matter which family they marry, Zijuan will probably be the first housemate she takes over.Seeing her chatting and laughing with Baoyu on weekdays, I'm afraid this maid is just borrowing Daiyu as a cover for wanting to talk to Baoyu herself.

Although it is impossible for Daiyu to really get to know people like Tongfang and Auntie based on the education she has received since she was a child, but comparing several things, Daiyu inevitably becomes suspicious of Zijuan, especially the matter with Baochai. To keep her from knowing.

As for Jia Baoyu, Daiyu and Jia Baoyu grew up together and have always been close.With the help of Jiamu, Zijuan and others, this kind of intimacy gradually develops in the direction of love for children.Especially when a sister Bao was killed out of thin air, Daiyu subconsciously defended everything she had.At that time, she had a vague feeling that she really liked Jia Baoyu and wanted to be with him wholeheartedly.

But now that Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's marriage is about to be decided, Baochai announces his withdrawal with great fanfare, and Daiyu suddenly becomes uncertain.

Is Jia Baoyu really the one she wants to be with each other and grow old together?Although he treated her with gentleness and meticulousness, he treated everyone with such gentleness and meticulousness. Anyone with a flat face, whether it was Qin Keqing, the first grandma in the East Mansion, Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong, or Rong Ning Er He treats all the little maids in the mansion with the same tenderness, at most Lin Daiyu is treated more tenderly and meticulously than others.But what does that mean?

Daiyu was born in a scholarly family and a Zhongding family. She loved reading since she was a child, but she was not a person who pretended to be lofty and didn't know how to use rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea.In fact, she is very clear about the responsibilities and obligations that a man should bear.But Jia Baoyu was pampered and raised since she was a child. She was ignorant all day long and only knew how to make rouge with high-quality rose paste. These things should be done by boudoir daughters when they are bored.But what about the economic career that a man should pursue?Jia Baoyu is not good at it.Even Jia Baoyu likes to read miscellaneous books, which everyone talks about, but he can't compare with Xue Baochai's extensive knowledge and memorization.What about poetry and songs?Outsiders think that Jia Baoyu has some crooked talents in this area, but these crooked talents are eclipsed in comparison with Daiyu Baochai's poetry and prose talent.

Sometimes Daiyu herself doesn't understand, why would she marry a man who is inferior to her in every way, who doesn't give birth every day, eats food and waits to die?Although this husband is a gentle cousin to her, and a grandson of the Rongguo Mansion who is deeply loved by the head of the house, Shi Taijun, so what?Just because Jia Baoyu is a man, and she has no better candidate to marry besides this man, is she going to marry him?

Sometimes Daiyu can be very rebellious.She would think of a sentence that Miss San Tanchun often said: "If I was a man, I would go out and do something early..." If she, Lin Daiyu, were a man, she might have gone to take the science exam and win the gold list. Even if Tanchun is a man, she has already carried her stupid mother Aunt Zhao and her stupid brother Jia Huan on her shoulders, and led them to kill a bloody road. The bird flew away; but Sister Fanbao is a man... No, Sister Bao is a woman, but she is even more remarkable. She carries the Xue family business on her shoulders, and now everyone in the capital knows that Xue's parents and daughters are capable people who can do business. Out of the living room, down into the kitchen, although they are farmers, workers, scholars and merchants, they are all incompetent, fake and noble sour and rotten literati who comfort themselves. Daiyu comes from the Zhongding family, so she naturally knows the secrets of yellow and white things in the big family Admired.Although they put on a grandiose attitude that treats money like dung and spends it freely all day long, Daiyu has seen too much of the matter of treating money as jewelry in private, tearing down the east wall to make up for the west...

"Good sister, why don't you speak?" Jia Baoyu's words interrupted Daiyu's thoughts.

Only then did Daiyu come back to her senses.Looking at Jia Baoyu who was almost leaning against her, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.For some reason, she remembered that when Baochai spoke to her, he was so gentle and gentle, with just the right proportion, the gentleness in his eyes was not too much, and there was always some forbearance and restraint, so that she once had a strange thought, I think she likes her secretly, but does she really like her?Ying'er said that she just mentioned it so casually, and Sister Bao seemed to have received an urgent order to look after the house for her. What does Sister Bao mean by such a serious matter?

"Sister, sister Lin, what's the matter with you today? Why are you always in a daze?" Jia Baoyu asked with a smile, and reached out his hand to help her with a haircut.

"Brother Bao." Daiyu suddenly took a step back, avoiding Jia Baoyu's hand.

"Brother Bao, we are all grown up now, so we should avoid suspicion." Daiyu said with a serious face.
