The soy sauce life of the second daughter of the Xue family in the Red Chamber

As soon as the words were finished, Baozan and Tanchun had already entered the house.Seeing that there were two girls beside Jia Mu, she smiled at her before waiting for the introduction: "The ones who want to come to this old lady must be Sister Lin and the fourth sister." Miss, how do you know?" Baozan stepped forward and said, "I was in the third sister's room just now, and I heard her mention sister Lin and the fourth younger sister, and they described her as the beauties in the painting, so I said I really wanted to meet them. Coincidentally, as soon as I walked in, I saw two fairy-like sisters. I thought about what the third sister said. Isn't it the sister Lin and the fourth sister she said? I'm sorry for what my third sister said."

After hearing what she said, Mother Jia learned that Tanchun praised Daiyu in private, and was somewhat satisfied with Tanchun, so she recruited Tanchun to come to her side, and said to Aunt Xue: "Your hairpin girl has a sharp mouth. I can compare with Feng girl, I like it very much. If you want me to say that the sum of the girls in our family is not as good as these two girls in your family." Aunt Xue said: "The old lady is just joking. The big girl is fine. , I have been caring since I was a child, this second girl... I don’t care if I don’t mention it, the old lady’s boast like this, she took her words seriously, it’s okay with you, and her tail can go up to the sky when she returns home.”

Mother Jia was happy, took Baozan's hand and said: "I don't believe my aunt, tell me, is it true?" Baozan lowered her head in shame, and said softly: "The old lady believed me, I was happy... ...But now, I am going to disappoint the old lady, it is indeed what my mother said..." After finishing speaking, her head lowered.Seeing her appearance, Jia's mother became even more happy, and said with a smile: "I saw you have a sharp tongue. When you are as smart as a phoenix girl and as smart as a monkey, who knows that you are such an honest girl. I like it better." gone."

She said that she wanted to keep Baochai and Baozan in Jia's house for two days, but Baochai was fine, but Baochai didn't like Jia's house, so she said, "The old lady loves us so much that she shouldn't have left. It's just that there is a younger sister in the family who is inconvenient to go out, and she will inevitably be lonely when we stay for a few days, so I ask the old lady to forgive me." Jia Mu listened and let it go.

After dinner, Baochai and Daiyu Xichun wrote poems and paintings together, and Baozan talked and laughed with Yingchun Tanchun. Aunt Xue asked Baozan why he didn't stay with Baochai, and Baozan smiled and said, "It's nothing. "

After a while, the Xue family went back home.

On the second day, Baoqin recited scriptures for Master Xue Er in the Buddhist hall. Xue Pan and Baochai Baozan got together. You are not with the elder sister, what's the matter with you?" Baochai wondered, "What happened?" Baochai was also puzzled.Xue Pan said: "People say that a woman's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea. You two have never been separated from Mengmeng. Why did you not stay together when you were a guest yesterday? There must be something strange." What about needles in the sea, it’s just that my sister was with my sister Lin yesterday, reciting poems and painting very elegantly, I don’t know what I’m going to do with it.”

Xue Pan said: "Everyone is eager to cling to Sister Lin and circle around Sister Lin, but you are a maverick." Baozhan laughed and said: "How can I be a maverick? I am no better than my sister in appearance and learning." Standing shoulder to shoulder with her, but not better than Xichun grew up with her since she was a child, and she is not an outstanding girl like the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, how did she catch her eyes? She is also a person with a delicate heart. The old lady is so hypocritical and pretentious, she thinks I am hypocritical and hates me when she sees me, since she doesn't like me, why should I show my eyes in front of her?"

Xue Pan said: "Since you know that you are hypocritical and pretending, why don't you treat her sincerely and make friends with her." Baozan sneered: "What should I do to treat her sincerely? Why do I have to treat her heart and soul? Who is she?" I owe her? I know her very well? I saw her for the first time yesterday. My sister and I are close. We have been sisters for the past few years. What is being with her? If she still has no father or mother, Naturally, I saw her and took care of her, thinking about dragging her out of the fire pit of the Jia family. Now her father is the servant of the household department, her mother is also there, and she has an older brother. How can I take care of someone who has both parents and brothers? I will go What is sticking to the pole? Those who know like you said that I knew Sister Lin was a person and wanted to make friends with her, but those who didn’t know would think that I have another ancestor to sacrifice to!”

Seeing her like this, Xue Pan also got angry, and said: "I only said a few words, and you just popped out so many words. What are they talking about?" Talk? It’s telling the truth! I can be friends with whomever I want, and joke with whomever I want. You and I have been together for more than ten years, and you know what I am like on weekdays. You can do whatever you want I can do graffiti with two strokes, I can play chess twice, and I also like to practice calligraphy, but poetry and songs are at a level where I can put together two sentences and a whole song. I am not like Yingchun Tanchun. Then what do you do for making fun of yourself? Not to mention making fun of yourself, according to what you said, I have to go all out to make fun of myself! Besides, my sister was there at the time. She is so smart, so she naturally knows me With my thoughts, she didn't even feel that I was wrong to say something, what are you talking about!"

Xue Pan was blocked by her, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say: "I never told you to go out of your way to make fun of yourself..." Baozan became even more angry when he heard that, and said: "You I don't say it, but I think so in my heart. I heard from Master Juren that if I go to Jia's house next time to meet Sister Lin, I will definitely go out of my way to make fun of myself! Talk about poetry and songs with her I am so happy to be able to humiliate myself in front of Sister Lin! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" After speaking, he slammed the door and went out.

Baozan slammed the door very hard, and some sawdust fell, which surprised Xue Pan. The anger provoked by Baozan before was gone at this moment. Xue Pan was stunned for a while, and then turned to Baochai. Said: "Look at her, she is simply inexplicable, I don't know what it means." Baochai smiled and said, "You don't know, I know, why don't you ask me first and ask her directly, you don't know that she is stubborn. "Xue Pan said: "Just talk about such trivial matters. How can I ask you?" Baochai said, "I don't like to hear that, brother. Why can't you ask me? If you ask me, you can't ask me." Tell my sister to lose her temper less, and you will also be less angry."

Xue Pan smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and asked, "What's the matter? Can't write poems to make trouble?" Baochai got up from her seat, poured a cup of tea by herself, sat down again, and said with a smile, "Are you asking me? "Xue Pan bowed and said, "I'm asking for advice." Baochai took a sip from the teacup, and then said slowly, "I was painting in one place yesterday, and my sister has a lot of opinions. The fourth girl was able to chat. Later, she wrote poems, and everyone could put together a poem, but my younger sister couldn't make it. Sister Lin said, "Seeing that you can play the piano, you can also play chess, your calligraphy is beautiful, and you know how to draw. She looks smart in front of the old lady, who knows that she can't compose poems, it's unconventional'. The younger sister was not angry, and kept smiling. Later, the second daughter of their family really couldn't compose poems, so she went to the side. The girl also put down her pen, and my younger sister went to talk with them. The fourth younger sister was able to write some poems after being with younger sister Lin for a long time, so the three of us continued to write poems. Seeing that my younger sister had separated from me, my mother asked Why are you not together, my sister also said it’s okay. It’s okay in the first place, but you just mentioned it today.”

Xue Pan said: "I just mentioned that she said that Sister Lin didn't like her putting on airs, so she told her to treat people sincerely." Baochai put down the teacup and sighed: "There is a problem with your words. What is my sister?" It's not that you don't know what kind of person she is. As long as she isn't deliberately provoking trouble, and whether she is sincere or not, she treats people well. Besides, how can there be so much hypocrisy in getting along with sisters? She was joking , But if you talk about something that is sincere or not, she will start talking nonsense, but you are useless, and you are blocked by her nonsense." She laughed.

Xue Pan said awkwardly, "Is she so angry?" Baochai said, "No?" Xue Pan got up and said, "Then I will pay her." "No, it's fine if you want to come to her for dinner. Everything else is secondary. I have something most important to ask you." As he spoke, Xue Pan smiled, seeing that her face suddenly became serious, so he also became serious. Asked: "What?" Baochai said solemnly: "How much money do you have on hand now?" Xue Pan warned: "What's the matter?" Baochai said: "I told you to watch your purse, and it will only take two days at most. It’s all right, I heard her tell me two days ago, Second Brother Liu told her that there is a lotus cup from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty, and today she used the excuse to make you offend her, maybe tomorrow..." He said Covering his mouth and laughing, he went out the door, and then gently closed the door, leaving Xue Pan to stumble and sigh deeply, hating himself for being troublesome.

Three days later, Baozan got the lotus cup. She watched it early and late, and slept together under the quilt when she slept.A few days later, out of the nouveau riche mentality, I thought that it was not a big deal to just look at my own home, and I should show off the good things. Tete posted a post asking Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun to come and enjoy this cup together.Daiyu held the lotus cup and looked at it carefully, facing the light for a while, and facing the light for a while, then handed it back to Baozan, and said with a smile: "It's really a rare thing, it's pink and green." Isn't it? The agate powder is glazed, the turtle's back is large, and the pattern is like eel blood, which can no longer be found in the world today." Daiyu said: "Brother Xue loves you and is willing to buy you such things. My family uses them all. The things handed down by the ancestors did not add any antique jade. My father said that thrift is glorious, extravagance and waste are shameful, and he also said that there is a Lei Feng. I have read all the books at home and I don’t know what Lei Feng is. I know that Leifeng Pagoda..." Before the words finished, Baozan let go of his hand in a daze, and the lotus cup fell from his hand.

When it was too late, Xichun reached out and took the lotus cup, gently put it on the stone table, and said with a smile: "Although your family is rich, it can't stand your troubles, and this cup can be taken away." ?” Baozan was surprised again when he saw it, and asked curiously, “Are you a Lianjiazi?”
