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

Aunt Xue panicked when she heard the words. When she returned home, she couldn't help meeting Baochai. When Baochai heard about it, she couldn't help sighing, and said, "The only thing I can do now is to go to Ningfu once. If it is still for this idea He refuses to give up on small things, but this place is difficult, so we should prepare to move out early."

Aunt Xue is an elderly widow, she didn't worry about her livelihood, she went to Jia's mansion just to have someone to rely on, she couldn't help crying when she heard this, and said: "Why don't I know that I will go to Ning's mansion to pay compensation? It's just that the people there are all juniors, and if you want me How can I get rid of this face?" Then she cried and said that Xue Pan was also unlucky: "It is obvious that the other party is more, so why should Pan'er go to Ningfu to make amends. The hateful situation is stronger than others, and it is only Pan'er's life to blame. Not good, no good sister will marry into a good family."

Baochai had heard Aunt Xue say that she would not save face and go to Ning Mansion, and wanted to take the initiative to invite Ying, but later she heard Aunt Xue said that she only blamed Xue Pan for not having a good sister. Fearing that her old age would hurt her body with anger, Fang said: "I think the key lies in Grandma Rong. Since she is a female family member, the daughter should share her mother's worries and go through this. Mother, don't worry, even if the Ning Mansion is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, the daughter's It will certainly not insult the reputation of the Xue family."

When Aunt Xue heard Baochai's promise to go to Ningguo Mansion to plead guilty, she slowly stopped crying. When she heard Baochai talk about Ningfu's Longtan and Tiger's Cave, she couldn't help but said, "This is the eldest room of your second aunt's house. How can a serious relative's house be a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? Besides, I was afraid that you would be wronged, so I told your elder sister Feng to come over and remind you. She has always been on good terms with the Qin family, so I will go with her. Don't be afraid."

Baochai was surprised and said: "Sister Feng is in charge of so many things in the house every day, and she is willing to go with me?"

Aunt Xue said triumphantly: "That's natural. After all, she wants to call me aunt. If an aunt wants her to do something, how can there be any reason to refuse? Bao'er, let's not say that mother doesn't love you from now on. Why isn't mother afraid of your suffering?" I feel wronged!" Then he said: "My elder brother passed away early, and I said that Brother Feng has no father or mother, it's so pitiful, I'm afraid it will be like this in this life, but in a blink of an eye, she became the daughter-in-law of Jia's family. , People are uplifting again, please the old lady's favor, now in front of the house, how much dignity, I only hope that you will have a bright future, Bao'er, if you can be like her, it will not be in vain for your parents to love you! "

Seeing what her mother said, Baochai had no choice but to believe it.Shaoqing Wang Xifeng came with a large group of maids and daughters-in-law. Baochai hurriedly served tea and gave up her seat. Seeing her frown, she said, "In theory, this matter of Brother Pan is not a big deal. It's just that it shouldn't come out at this moment. Rong's daughter-in-law is a careful person with a heavy heart. She was born ill after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year. It made Brother Zhen in Dongfu so anxious that she invited many doctors. It was so easy to hear that Uncle Feng recommended a doctor named Zhang. It was only after the vernal equinox that he gradually got better. Even Rong'er and her mother-in-law dared not provoke her at this juncture, but Brother Pan gave her brother Shameless, tell me what this is, how can she not take it to heart? If she is angry in her heart, and her illness gets worse, what should I do?"

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "People say that you are smart, brother Feng, and you have always been on good terms with that Qin family. I hope you can show your aunt a clear way."

Wang Xifeng looked at Baochai's face with prestige, and seeing that there were no outsiders on the left and right, he suddenly smiled and said, "It's not difficult at all. To tell my aunt, although my nephew and daughter-in-law are usually She is used to being arrogant and indulgent, but she is a passionate and romantic person. When someone like her aunt visits her, she will inevitably feel uncomfortable, and it is unknown if the illness will add to the illness. If the young man who looks good and speaks elegantly stands in front of her , keeping her soft-hearted, how can I be willing to blame more?"

Even though Baochai and Wang Xifeng are cousins, they have always gotten along very delicately. When she saw Wang Xifeng looking at her, she secretly cried out that something was wrong. When she heard what Wang Xifeng said, she became even more suspicious and said to herself: I have always heard that Grandma Rong is a restless person relying on her beautiful appearance. I used to think that she was just a servant who slandered and spread rumors.Now that Sister Feng is so close to her, she even said that, which shows that it may be true.But even if it is true, in terms of sisterhood and morality, it should be covered up on behalf of them. How can they openly tell others like Sister Feng?Either Sister Feng's treatment of Grandma Rong was not sincere, and she talked sweetly, or Grandma Rong did too much.

Aunt Xue's old face couldn't help turning red when she heard such blatant words, and she was stunned for a long time before she said: "I didn't expect that person to make such a mess!" Then she said: "Although I said so, where are we now? Looking for a young man with a good appearance and elegant conversation? If you want Pan'er to go, it will be even worse. Brother Feng, look at us orphans and widows, no one to help, if you have an idea, you might as well say it, my aunt can Are you wronged?"

Wang Xifeng smiled slightly and said, "Why does Auntie ask me? It's a ready-made person right in front of my eyes."

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked what happened, Wang Xifengfang pointed to Baochai and said, "Aside from Bao girl, where is there a more suitable person?" Without blinking, she stared at Baochai and said, "I came to see my aunt a few days ago. I happened to see a handsome young gentleman passing by the corridor. I was still wondering who this person was, and why he was so familiar, but he was not afraid of strangers, and went directly to the backyard. After inquiring quietly, I found out that it was Bao girl who had a bright future. Dressing up as a man and walking outside, no wonder it looks so familiar. Even so, why not Mingbao girl still pretending to be a young son, and begging Grandma Rong for mercy, is it better than anything else?"

When Aunt Xue heard the words, she felt that it was very appropriate, she smiled and applauded repeatedly.Baochai blushed, knowing that Sister Feng had seen through the mechanism of her going out, and knowing that although this was a family matter, she had to do it as a last resort, but it would inevitably violate ethics, so she hurriedly explained to Wang Xifeng: "I am also doing this like this." There's nothing I can do about it. There's a lot of business at home, and my brother has left me alone, so I have to go out to visit once or twice, and I always go to the shop at home, and I haven't seen any outsiders privately..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Aunt Xue called out: "Baochai, don't gossip. Your Sister Feng's idea is very good. How do you treat it?"

Wang Xifeng also smiled and said: "Sister, don't panic. I naturally know that my sister is a lady who understands etiquette and knows how to advance and retreat. I'm just talking here to come up with an idea, and I won't spread it and damage your reputation. After all, what’s the big deal? When I was a child, I was dressed as a boy and hung out like a tomboy among brothers, and my uncle praised me for being promising. You are very knowledgeable, and you are different from us. Besides, you see Miss Shi also likes to dress up like a man, everyone has seen it, but after laughing for a while, no one will take it seriously."

When Baochai saw her talking about this level, although she was still feeling uneasy and doubtful, Aunt Xue urged her so hard that she didn't have time to think about it, so she nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Although it is so, I am uneasy in my heart. Fortunately, Sister Feng loves me, if I go with my sister, I won’t be afraid.”

Wang Xifeng hurriedly laughed and said: "Look at this mansion, the grandmas who are in charge have not stopped, but these days are the days when the monthly money should be released in this month. There are more people who come and go, how can I go?" open!"

Aunt Xue heard that Sister Feng had come up with such a nondescript idea, and she thought it was a panacea. She liked it and was grateful at the same time. She couldn't remember what she said to Baochai before, and she hurriedly agreed: "Exactly. I originally and Your second aunt said, among the children of our Wang family, only brother Feng is a promising one." Then she turned to Baochai and said, "You child is too ignorant, your sister Feng is so busy, how can I have time to accompany you .Since she is on good terms with the Qin family, this idea is not wrong. You have traveled around Chang'an City several times, so are you still afraid that you will not be able to enter the Ningguo Mansion?"

Seeing this, Baochai felt depressed and had to agree.

Sister Feng said again: "It's late today, so it's better to go to Ningguo's mansion tomorrow." Where Aunt Xue has any knowledge, she naturally follows Sister Feng's orders.

That day Baochai still felt restless after dinner, so she went back to Jia's mansion to find some sisters to talk to, and played a game of Go with Yingchun. He laughed at the side and said: "Players, make up your mind and then move. Sister Bao is impetuous today, so it can be seen that the loss of this game is not unfair." After hearing this, Xichun sighed: "Every family has hard-to-recite scriptures. I think It’s impossible to be alone.”

Pretending not to hear, Baochai pushed back the chess game, said goodbye to the Sanchun sisters, and came to Jiamu again.At this time, Qin Zhong had already been sent back to the Qin family to recuperate, but Baoyu was tired of talking and laughing with Daiyu in Daiyu's room. When he saw Baochai, his face was a little embarrassing, but he said a few gossips and hurriedly left.Baochai ignored her, stayed in Daiyu's room and talked to her for a while, then suddenly said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the royal family in a few days."

Daiyu said: "Then I'm not going either." Then she said: "I didn't think it was interesting at first, but the sisters are all enjoying the scenery together, talking to each other to relieve boredom."

Baochai nodded to show that she knew what she meant.After seeing Lin Daiyu's concerned face, like a confidant in a boudoir, suddenly many grievances flooded up in her heart, and she rushed to confide in her, but it took a lot of effort to suppress them one by one. In the end, she didn't say anything, just Smiling, looking at Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu could see confusion and fear from this smile, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

Baochai shook her head and said, "It's nothing." After a pause, she couldn't suppress it, and said slowly, "I don't know why, but I suddenly thought of my father. My father loved me very much back then, but unfortunately now It's gone." After saying this sentence, I felt that tears were about to flow down my face, and I didn't care about what to say, so I said goodbye to Lin Daiyu in a hurry, turned around and left.
