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

Seeing that Baochai said something solemnly, Daiyu felt quite depressed, but she didn't want to be strong. Suddenly she remembered something and asked Baochai, "Sister Baochai said a while ago that she had set up a garden for me. You said you would repair it for me, but I don’t know if it’s better now?”

Baochai said: "I was just about to tell you that everything is in order. This garden is quite elegant, and it can be used as a summer retreat for your Tongbao brothers in the future."

When Daiyu saw that she kept making herself and Baoyu together, she was annoyed in her heart, and said, "Sister Bao, you are too confused. What are you doing with other people when we talk about our innocent daughter's family?"

Baochai was taken aback, and explained embarrassingly: "It's been spread all over the house. Isn't it a matter of time? I know my sister is shy, but there is no one else here, so I dare to tell these heartfelt words according to the truth... ..."

Daiyu didn't wait for Baochai to finish, and began to sob and cry.Baochai was greatly embarrassed, secretly startled, distressed, and remorseful, and when she wanted to persuade her, she felt that there was no way to persuade her.She tentatively handed over the handkerchief in her hand, Daiyu took the handkerchief in a daze, but cried even more fiercely.Baochai frowned and sighed.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu's figure suddenly appeared behind the flowers: "What are Sister Bao and Sister Lin doing? Could it be that they are fighting for crabs and getting annoyed?"

Seeing that he was talking poorly, Daiyu clearly wanted to explain away, she couldn't help laughing through her tears.Baochai watched from the side, and sighed secretly: "After all, you are indeed worthy of brother Bao. I am afraid that only he can coax Xiaoer into docile obedience."

For Baoyu, Baochai has always held an extremely complicated feeling.In the previous life, when Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue joined forces to hype up a golden and jade marriage, Baochai once regarded Jia Baoyu as a future husband-in-law, and secretly disliked him for not having a job, idleness, and too much makeup. Prince Wang Sun has learned many bad habits.No matter how you look at it, you hate it, so you often ridicule him as "busy with nothing" and "rich and idle", which contains praise and criticism.

Later, Baochai understood her intentions, and became even more ambivalent about Baoyu.On the one hand, he envied him and Lin Daiyu to live together since they were young, and they had an unusually close relationship. He tried his best to guess the reason for Daiyu's frowns and smiles, but Daiyu annoyed him for a while, and he also behaved a little bit. The ability to coax Daiyu into turning around again.On the one hand, Baochai secretly resented him as a man who had the qualifications to like Daiyu openly and aboveboard, unlike himself, who was clearly full of thoughts but couldn't express them, so Daiyu misunderstood him after hearing what Jia Mu and others said Hidden adultery.

Later, due to the misfortune of fortune, Daiyu died young, and Baoyu and Baochai had no choice but to marry.If someone else sees such a beautiful woman as Baochai, he is a married wife with deep friendship in his heart, an unforgettable dream lover without thinking about it, and he will not miss them performing the Dunlun ceremony with a clean face on their wedding night , The righteousness spreads the branches and leaves, and passes on the family line.But Baoyu is not.He never forced Baochai.Even when the two are sharing the same bed, they are innocent.In the eyes of others, Baoyu may be a little foolish, but in Baochai's eyes, Baoyu is so pedantic that he looks like a gentleman.

Because of these thoughts, even though Baoyu and Daiyu are about to marry without hindrance in this life, Baochai can't hate Baoyu.At this time, she saw that Baoyu was sticking to Daiyu to be careful, and the two cousins ​​were talking and laughing, so she wanted to go away quietly. Suddenly, she heard Daiyu say in a loud voice: "Sister Bao, you provoked someone, so you want to go quietly." Slip away? Where in the world is there such a beautiful thing?"

Baochai had to stop.

Baoyu looked at Baochai and Daiyu, feeling quite embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he suggested, "My sister is afraid that the wind has dazzled her eyes, but this make-up is just too much. Yihong Courtyard is nearby. How about the two of you going to do your makeup together with me?"

Hearing this, Daiyu glanced at Baochai and saw that she had no objection, so she smiled and said, "Forget it. It was Sister Bao's fault. So I asked Sister Bao to attend to me and make up with me. Bar."

When Baochai wanted to resign, she was full of guilt and couldn't speculate. Besides, Jia Baoyu was helping her, so she went along with it.

When they entered the Yihong Courtyard, Xiren came up to greet her first. Seeing that Daiyu's eyes were slightly red, she didn't dare to ask more questions, so she hurriedly called someone to fetch warm water.When she wanted to serve Daiyu with a copper basin in her hand, Daiyu pouted to the side and said, "Let Sister Bao come."

Xiren was deeply surprised and dared not say more. Baochai smiled when he heard this, and went forward to kiss Daiyu, rolled up his sleeves, and took off the bracelet on his wrist.Suddenly, a strange fragrance emanated from Daiyu's sleeves. A person like Baochai, who never likes flowers and powders, would feel refreshed and happy.

Baochai hurriedly took a big towel from Sheyue's hand, covered Daiyu's skirt, and held the copper basin so that Daiyu could wash in it.

After Daiyu had washed her face, Baoyu said courteously, "My sister's dowry is not here. If I order someone to call Zijuan to fetch it, I'm afraid it will disturb the old lady, which is not good. It's not good to attack people here. What's the use?"

Daiyu also knew that this matter should not be a big deal, so as not to cause trouble for Baochai. She also knew that Xiren was Baoyu's concubine. Assailants use it, naturally it is top grade.So he nodded in agreement, took another look at Baochai and said, "Sister Bao, please."

Baochai knew that Daiyu was playing petty sex at this time, she was angry and funny, and thought she was cute, so she went to the dressing table to search around, but she couldn't see the powder box.Daiyu couldn't help mocking again: "Sister Bao is a person who does big things all day long, so how can this little makeup and powder get in her eyes? Isn't it in the Xuan kiln porcelain box?"

When Baochai heard this, she hurriedly opened the Xuan kiln porcelain box, and saw that there were ten jade hairpin sticks in a row, but she didn't know what they were used for.When he wanted to turn around and ask Daiyu, he was afraid that she would laugh at him for his clumsiness, so he tentatively picked up one of the jade hairpin sticks and poured it flat on his palm.Suddenly recalled that Baoyu had presented this purple jasmine powder to their sisters a few years ago as a treasure, but unexpectedly Baoyu still gave up this habit of making cosmetics.It's just that Fengshui took turns. In her previous life, when she married Baoyu as Baoyu's second grandmother, first, Daiyu died young and was depressed, second, she never loved Fendai, and third, Jia's family was in ruins, and she never used this kind of makeup. Therefore, it does not pass through the key points.

Because of this experience, when she couldn't find Rouge, Baochai didn't dare to ask.Seeing that Daiyu didn't seem to be paying attention to her, she glanced at the dressing table, searched tentatively, and finally picked up a small white jade box. The hairpin came, picked some lightly, patted them on the hands, and wiped Daiyu's lips and cheeks.

Although Baochai didn't like to dress up, at least she had prepared for the palace election, so the skill of serving people and making up was naturally very good.Daiyu had time to sarcastically say a few words before, but later, her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head deeply, revealing her pink and white neck, she didn't say anything.

Xiren, Sheyue and other maids were driven out of the room by Baoyu long ago.At this time, Baoyu looked at this scene and felt stunned.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room was very strange.

Baochai had no choice but to cough lightly, and asked Baoyu with a forced smile, "Why do you look at us so dumbly and don't talk? But what kind of dementia did you have?"

When she asked such a question, even Baoyu blushed, thinking of something.

Baochai felt even more embarrassed, thought about it, and finally said: "The old lady's banquet has not been removed yet. We have been away from the banquet for so long, we must have an explanation." Then he asked Baoyu and Daiyu Saying goodbye, I hurried back to the Ouxiangxie.

Here, Daiyu slowly came back to her senses, staring blankly at Baochai's disappearing figure, and only sighed faintly when she was out of sight.

Hearing that sigh, Baoyu felt as if something was scratching his heart, itching unbearably, after thinking about it, he couldn't restrain his curiosity, so he thought about it for a while, seeing no one around, lowered his voice and asked: " Sister Lin, people say that you are the most familiar with old allusions, and I have an allusion that I would like to ask you for."

Daiyu was out of her mind, when she suddenly heard Baoyu's question, she knew there must be a reason, so she settled down and said, "Just ask."

Baoyu said: "Meng Guang, Liang Hong of the Eastern Han Dynasty, raised his eyebrows in the case, and it became a good story for a while. I just saw that Bao's sister held a basin for you to make up. I don't know why, but I remembered the reason here. So I have to ask my sister, this Meng Guang When did you take over the case of Liang Hong?"

Lin Daiyu laughed and scolded: "Although this is a true allusion from the Eastern Han Dynasty, it is a sentence used by others... Do you know if you bully me?"

It turns out that Liang Hong's allusion of Meng Guang raising his eyebrows together was used in the play "The Romance of the West Chamber".Because of the gorgeous rhetoric and the lingering fragrance in the play, even princes and grandchildren and noble ladies secretly took a look at it.Daiyu also got the playbook from Yinger, Baochai's maid.Daiyu has a superb memory, so Baoyu knew that he had seen the West Chamber when she asked this question, but she didn't know how to ask clearly, so as not to spread the word by mistake and hurt Yinger.

Therefore, Daiyu had no choice but to stop talking abruptly, and changed her words: "I think you overheard what we said earlier. There is nothing suspicious about it. You have seen it all, so what else is there to ask?"

Baoyu admired Daiyu since she was a child, and always regarded Daiyu as her future wife.He also thought that his friendship with Daiyu was unmatched by anyone.However, when he saw Daiyu and Baochai getting along with each other that day, he couldn't help being puzzled, and after thinking about it, he finally asked a question.Before asking the question, he still had the idea of ​​writing a fluke in his heart, but he didn't expect Daiyu's bravery and frankness to be completely beyond his expectations.

"I only see my sister and you are persistent, but sister Bao is ambiguous and ambiguous." Baoyu said disappointedly, "You... What kind of rules do you have in your heart?"

Daiyu shook her head and did not answer.Baoyu didn't dare to force too much, so he ordered Xiren to secretly inform Wang Xifeng and Yuanyang, explaining that Daiyu had returned to her room to rest because of her cowardice, and sent Daiyu back to Xiaoxiang Hall in person.When I turned back, I saw the wind blowing bamboos in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but my mood was not as sweet as before.

He originally thought that the relationship between him and Daiyu was unmatched by anyone, and that it was a good marriage made in heaven, and because Xue's family had promoted golden and jade marriages, he was suspicious that Baochai also secretly looked up to him.I don't want the two of them to go past him together, it's really sad and unspeakable.

When Baochai returned to the banquet, the crab feast had not yet ended.Jia Mu was fussy and asked, "Where did Baoyu and Miss Lin go?"

Baochai was about to cover up for the two of them, when suddenly someone came up and said, "Miss Lin is not feeling well, Second Master Bao has already sent her back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to rest, and I am here to ask the old lady for leave."

Mother Jia deliberately made Baoyu and Daiyu into a pair. Hearing that the two are so close and harmonious, she was happy, but she was afraid that Yao Jing and other outsiders would have doubts after hearing this, so she hurriedly said to Yao Jing: "My two grandsons and granddaughters, We have grown up together since we were young, and our relationship is very deep. It is a pity that my granddaughter is born with a weak body, and even the master is very handy, and it is difficult to recuperate for a while. She will be sick for half a year in a year. Now she will definitely not be able to hold on. , so I went back to my room to rest first, and I hope Mr. Yao can't be blamed."

Yao Jing has always admired Daiyu, how could she blame her?But he was still thinking about Baochai and Daiyu. After the banquet, he sat down with Sun Mu in Baochai's room and asked her, "You have to swear to me. If Miss Lin falls in love with her." Jia Baoyu, you are not allowed to make trouble."

Sun Mu frowned and said, "Jing'er, don't be rude."

Baochai hurriedly stopped her: "Mr. Yao is right. I think the marriage gift from Empress Yuanchun will arrive in a few days. I made up my mind a long time ago and kept this thought in my heart."

Sun Mu covered his face and sighed.This is what Baochai told her long ago.She also thinks it makes sense.Therefore, he didn't persuade him, but asked: "Since that's the case, what do you want?"

At this moment, Ying'er outside didn't even say hello, she hurriedly opened the door and said, "Miss, it's not good, it's not good! The wife sent an official matchmaker, saying that she wants to meet the girl, and she wants to kiss her!"
