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

When Baochai heard this, she smiled and knocked Yinger's head with her hand, and said, "What do children think about these things?" He was busy classifying the things in the box and drawing up regulations for everything.These days, she was entrusted by Xue Pan to go out in men's clothes and visit the property at home. Now that she has obtained these things, she has become even more diligent and took Chen Yi and other family members to inspect the two properties in the box. A silk shop and a grocery store are well maintained.

Aunt Xue originally used this thing to embarrass her, but she didn't want to help her. She was also surprised at the moment, so she pretended not to know. Every morning and evening, she only paid a little attention to Baochai, often turning a blind eye and listening to it. don't smell.

But Mrs. Wang couldn't see it from the sidelines.Mrs. Wang wanted Baochai to marry her son, and she had already decided on it. Earlier, she saw that she used great principles to suppress others, but she was impeccable. Although she praised her in her mouth, she was also a little uneasy in her heart, for fear of such a situation. The daughter-in-law has too many ideas, and it is difficult for her to be a mother-in-law.Now it happens that Baochai let Xiangling go privately, even though everyone in the family knows that Xue Pan is too bastard and is afraid of ruining other girls, but to do such a thing in Baochai's identity, it is unfilial and disrespectful .Although everyone in Jia's mansion was grateful for Baochai's kindness and did not use this matter to pressure her, and it was rumored that she was wrong, but in the eyes of Mrs. Wang, it was not a big deal, so they felt more eager for Baochai in their hearts. .

Don't look at Mrs. Wang who eats fast and recites Buddha all the year round. She looks like a good lady. When she was not out of the court and was the second lady of the Wang family, she was also a person who liked to make decisions. Aunt Xue, the third lady, was always suppressed by her. .Mrs. Wang immediately reprimanded Aunt Xue secretly: "I know you must love my nephew, but now one of my nephew's concubines has run away, and before my nephew said anything, you complained about your niece first. Even if she is not, you You shouldn't practice it everywhere. It was originally a trivial matter. If you don't care about it, it will end like this. Even those servants can't always bring it up. Now you are the one who is entangled with you, Bao When the girl is in front of her, she has to show her face. How can those servants who have no master in their eyes and are used to being loose don’t spread rumors? What do they think when they see it? I’m not afraid of your anger. Is it my Baoyu, or your Pan'er, I'm afraid they are unreliable. You will probably rely on Bao girl to fight for your face in the future. Now that she has something wrong, don't help her take care of it. On the contrary, if you give her shame everywhere, what good will you gain in the future?"

Aunt Xue's face was still stubborn: "Could it be that Bao girl is dead, and I'm not alive?" But her heart has already softened.So even though he still ignored Baochai in private, he got by in front of outsiders.

Because Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were always advocating good marriages, Jia's mother really didn't like Baochai in her heart.Later, Qianxue heard about Baochai's daily behavior, and gradually knew that Baochai was indeed a steady and sensible boy.Although she released Xiangling privately, it was inevitable that the etiquette was inconsistent, but the more so, the more it seemed that the child was a caring person who was willing to consider outsiders, and did not just stick to the so-called sage principles in the book and didn't know how to adapt.So Mother Jia liked it even more.

On this day, February [-]th, it happened to be the Flower Festival and Lin Daiyu's birthday. All the girls were dressed in colorful flowers. Even people like Baochai who don't like to dress up usually wore green clothes, which made their lips look even more beautiful. Red skin and white, picturesque eyebrows.All the girls went to Jiamu's room to greet and ask questions. There were people sitting in a room, all of them were as fresh and tender as flowers, and Jiamu was so happy that Jiamu smiled.Because it was Lin Daiyu's birthday, I even asked her to say a few more words. When I saw a willow-yellow net of plum blossoms with hearts hanging on her body, I held it in my hand and praised: "What a delicate job!" Ming took out the glasses, put them on, looked at them carefully, and asked: "I think this is a birthday present from Bao girl?"

Daiyu smiled and replied: "No. She made four-color needlework, which was sent to me yesterday, and it was still kept at Zijuan's. It was made by Yinger in her room. This kind of pattern has never been seen before.”

After hearing this, Mother Jia smiled at Aunt Xue: "I've spoiled Lin girl, listen to how tricky she is! Bao girl has a good heart, and she made four-color needles and threads for her, but she still doesn't like it." It was delivered late!"

Everyone knew that Mother Jia was joking, and Wang Xifeng was waiting on the sidelines. They also guessed that Mother Jia wanted to praise Baochai. Before anyone else could speak, she said, "That's right. What Sister Lin meant, I'm I know. Because Sister Bao did a good job in her needlework, I thought of receiving the gift earlier, so that I can wear it on my birthday. I don’t want Sister Bao to do her work too meticulously, so I didn’t send it until yesterday! Put on the net made by her servant girl first." After talking, everyone laughed together.

Jia Mu also nodded and smiled and said: "It can be seen that if there is a master, there must be a servant. The master is ingenious, and so is the maid." She looked at Aunt Xue with a smile and said, "Madam, it is you who raised such a daughter. How lucky!"

Aunt Xue couldn't say anything in this situation, she just laughed and said: "The old lady praises her so much, I'm afraid that if she indulges her, she will become more and more lawless."

Everyone laughed and said, "No matter what, Miss Bao has always been the most polite and sensible."

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Daiyu gave Baochai a wink, Baochai understood, and the two of them took advantage of the opportunity to leave the room slowly.

Daiyu first said: "I showed your needlework to the old lady, and the old lady also praised it for its exquisiteness. I just think that you are busy these days, and you must not have the energy to deal with it. I don't want to spend so much thought on it. Thank you for thinking about it."

Baochai said: "It was all prepared in advance. Last year I knew it too hastily, so I will naturally make up for it this year." After thinking for a while, he said: "No wonder the old lady praised me so much in front of people, so it was you who said it."

Daiyu said: "I don't know who the servants in this mansion are. Most of them like to talk about people's right and wrong. Now they don't talk nonsense unless the old lady speaks. I'm afraid your life will be easier. "

Baochai hurriedly said: "Thank you for being considerate of me. These are nothing. Since I have done such a thing, I have expected it a long time ago. This is better than I thought." As he said, he couldn't help it. Eye circles are red.

Seeing her, Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What does Auntie say? Could it be the same as before?"

Baochai hurriedly held back her tears, and said slowly: "That's my brother after all, and I can't blame her for being so angry. I just... I just... didn't expect... Forget it, I'm just asking for benevolence. I deserve it."

Seeing her like this, Daiyu sighed unconsciously: "Actually, if you had lied to your aunt, it wouldn't be the case. Well, if you want to come between you mother and daughter, there is absolutely no reason for you to hide things from her. I heard that you are going to fight now. Handling several businesses, my aunt doesn't send helpers, but can you come over if you are busy? If you are busy, let me help you with other tasks."

Baochai was shocked when he heard this.She knew that Lin Daiyu had insufficiency. Although she lived in Jia's residence for several years, no one dared to bother her. It's a bit flattering to help myself share the burden.He hurriedly said: "Thank you for your kindness. It's just that there is nothing to do, just get used to it."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Aside from other things, I'm afraid I can still help with some of these needlework. Maybe there are other brothers and sisters who are going to celebrate their birthdays, and you have to spend your time preparing some four-color needlework, I don't know."

Baochai who was talking about it also laughed: "There is no one else but you..." When I said this, I suddenly felt something was wrong, and quickly changed my words: "It's nothing." She glanced at Daiyu again and said: "You Being weak by nature, according to me, taking care of your body right now is the most important thing."

Daiyu said: "You don't have to be confused. I won't hide it from you. When you first came, although many people praised you, I'm afraid that you have hidden traitors in your heart. You are the kind of villain who speaks honey and has a sword in his belly. Now that you have passed Xiangling's I know that you are really thinking of others. Even if you are a maid, you must have behaved according to your heart in the past. Although I am not as good as you, you are not leaking, but I admire you. If you have something to do in the future, Just send someone to say hello, as long as I can, I will never refuse."

Since Baochai came to Jia's mansion to join relatives, she knew that among all the girls, Lin Daiyu was the most outstanding, with both talent and appearance, so she regarded her differently from others.I just know that she is thoughtful, intelligent and sensitive, so although I try my best to treat each other everywhere, I don't have too deep friendship in words, I am afraid that I may be careless for a moment and offend her.But he didn't expect Xiangling to treat each other like this just because Xiangling did such an unreasonable mistake.

Afterwards, the two said something else, Baochai was still in shock, and he forgot what he said, but he didn't remember much.After Lin Daiyu left, she couldn't help asking the mysterious voice, "Did you hear it? Could it be that I heard it wrong?"

The mysterious voice was silent at first, but after being asked several times by her, Fang said impatiently, "What's the matter? It should be like this." He didn't answer anymore.

That night, Baochai had a dream.In the dream, I vaguely heard someone say: "It is true that you treat people very well, but I am the most caring person, and I only think that you hide evil in your heart. The day before yesterday, you said that reading miscellaneous books is not good, and you persuaded me with those good words. Thank you so much. I was wrong in the past, and I have been wrong until now." Suddenly, I realized that it was Lin Daiyu's voice, and I couldn't help being puzzled. After thinking about it for a long time, I fell asleep again in a daze.
