Edge of the Red Chamber

After the water melted for a while, Lu Huixian said to the old lady: "I came here on purpose, but she doesn't appreciate it."

If you go to the west mountain, you don't need to turn. Shui Rong is clearly chasing after him.I'm afraid I knew they were going out of the city today, so I came here under the pretext of hunting, just to have a word with Daiyu.It's just a little late, showing traces.

Water-soluble is still considered polite, so the old lady is not to blame.Seeing that Daiyu was more and more unwilling to look up, she patted Lu Huixian and scolded: "You are also making fun of your sister? This is where she keeps the etiquette. When the prince asks questions, I will answer them, or you, as a sister-in-law, will answer." She's a girl, how can she talk to her?" While speaking, she gave Lu Huixian a wink.

Lu Huixian said: "The old lady taught me well."

He coaxed Daiyu again, but Daiyu just didn't open her mouth. Only when she arrived at Huaishu Zhuangzi did she relax.

King Xing's two wives, Aunt Xue and You Shi, came out to welcome her. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing stepped forward to help the old lady, saying: "I think the old lady won't come until afternoon."

Youshi helped Lu Huixian, Daiyu stretched out her hand, seeing that it was Tanchun, she said, "When did you come?"

Tanchun laughed and said, "I arrived just before." Then he said in a low voice, "It was said that someone would be sent to pick you up earlier, but the room is narrow, and there is no place to rest after picking you up. Don't be surprised."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Look at what you're talking about. Why am I a lady and you are a maid?" Why is the room so narrow that Tanchun can live in it, but Daiyu can't?

Tanchun repeatedly apologized, saying: "I never had such a heart, I blame me for saying the wrong thing." Then he said: "The brassicas are blooming on Zhuangzi. My second brother, Yunyatou, and my fourth younger sister and I went to see them yesterday. Let's do it together." After reading the poem, my sister-in-law said that Baoyu's song was good, but I think Yun girl's is good. Look around and break it up for us. Thinking that you will like it too, my sister-in-law has ordered someone to tidy up a house and put it away. Let's arrange it there alone." Then he said: "Auntie came here before you, sister Bao and sister Xing also came, they are all in the old lady's room, let's go find them."

Jiamu greeted them in front of the second gate, and when she saw them coming in, she said with a smile, "It's really a rare visitor." So Aunt Xue stepped forward to help Jiamu, and said with a smile, "The old lady in the family doesn't go out easily, and you can't invite them when you are free." One sentence flattered two people.

Jia Mu didn't seem to notice, she smiled and waved to Daiyu, saying, "Yu'er, come here." She avoided Aunt Xue without a trace.

Seeing this, Xue Baochai quickly stretched out her arm and put it under Aunt Xue's hand, as if Aunt Xue had reached out to hold her arm.

Everyone saw it, but no one pretended not to see it. Jia Mu smiled and said to Aunt Xue, "Your daughter is worth another's son."

Aunt Xue had a beautiful face and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of the old lady's jokes. In my heart, I would rather not have a son if I have a daughter like this."

Everyone went back to Jia Mu's side and let the old lady sit down on the kang. Waiting for others to salute, Xia Jingui, Xing Xiuyan, Baochai Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun saluted with the old lady Lu Huixian, and when they came down, the sisters saw each other again.

The old lady had never seen Xia Jingui and Xing Xiuyan before, Rosary had already seen two rulers coming out.

There was a crowd in the room, and the old lady laughed and said, "It's so lively." Then she said to Aunt Xue, "You are so lucky, both daughters-in-law are good."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Old ladies are blessed. Second Mistress is about to give birth?" Xia Jingui has been in the house for several years, but there is still no news.On the other hand, Xing Xiu came in after smoking, and there are already.

Speaking of descendants, the old lady was very happy and said: "There are still two months." Thinking about the situation of Aunt Xue's family, she was afraid that she would be upset if she said this, so she pointed to Xing Xiuyan and said: "How many months will it be? "

Aunt Xue was a little better, and said with a smile: "It will be the second half of the year, and the old lady will definitely come to have a glass of wine."

The old lady smiled, ignored the words, saw a newborn daughter-in-law on the ground, who was expected to be sister Qiao's aunt, and asked, "This is..."

You Shi laughed and said: "The old lady in-laws don't recognize her, but this is our uncle and grandma." It was indeed Guan Shi.

After talking for a while, Jia's mother saw Daiyu sitting silently, expecting her to be very boring, so she said: "This year, the brassicas planted in Zhuangzi are growing very well. Yesterday, the fourth girl drew a picture. Let me see." It's very good, you should go and have a look."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Second brother told me on the way here, but I can't see you." Then she said, "I heard about it from my third sister before I came in, and I've been thinking about it. Play."

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Miss Lin's filial piety, we are all looking at it." Then she said to the old lady: "The old lady in-laws can teach people. To say something that the old lady will not be afraid of laughing at, the family used to say that our treasure girl is a good girl." , in my opinion, not as good as Miss Lin."

This was so blatantly said that Daiyu didn't like it very much, so she said to Jia's mother and the old lady: "Then my third sister and I will go to see the painting."

The old lady nodded and said, "Go."

As soon as he came out, he saw Xichun coming out of Li Wan's room.Sister Qiao has a lot of filial piety, so she can't go out for these two days, and she probably lives in Li Wan's house.Xichun's temperament became more and more lonely, and now she didn't go to see the guests, but stayed in Li Wan's house.Jiaoshi Xiangyun knew, what did he think?

Daiyu thought about it, she would see everyone when she came, so she said, "I'll go to see my sister-in-law first, and then I'll go to my fourth sister." She called Xichun.

Tanchun said, "Then I'll go with you," and looked at Baochai. Before she could speak, Baochai said, "I haven't visited my sister-in-law yet. I'll go with you."

Xichun also saw them, so she walked towards them and said, "Sister Lin is here."

Tanchun said: "I was looking for you everywhere but I didn't see anyone. It turned out to be with my sister-in-law." Then he said: "The old lady and sister-in-law are here, and they are all in the old lady's room."

Xichun said, "Where are you going?"

Baochai said: "Let's talk to my sister-in-law, and go back to your side. You go early and come back early."

Xichun said: "Brother Ping is making a fuss, I think you don't want to go."

Because she didn't recognize Daiyu, she regarded Daiyu as a child of the Wang family, so Baochai said, "She's in a hurry there, let's not go there to make trouble, and go later."

Daiyu nodded, and Tanchun had no objection, so she just said to Xichun, "We agreed to go to your room to look at the paintings. If that's the case, I'll take Sister Bao and Sister Lin to my room to look at the poem we wrote yesterday. Come out and find us."

Tanchun lived in the west wing, so they walked half a circle around the veranda before arriving at Tanchun's room.

There is only a small room, and a partition with a swastika that goes straight to the roof divides the room into two rooms inside and outside. There is a table in front of the partition, on which there are pen holders, water bowls, an inkstone, and three or four books. Posts stacked together.On the opposite side of the partition, there are two armchairs against the wall, a square table in the middle, and a pot of five bowls on the table.

Tanchun moved in and said, "The room is narrow, so you can do whatever you want."

But she stood outside the door and said to the waiter, "Go to the tea room and ask for a pot of hot water."

Baochai said: "We didn't come here to ask you for tea. Quickly bring us your good poems." After that, he sat down inside, and Daiyu sat down opposite her, and said with a smile, "Just now. yes."

Tanchun said with a smile, "you have to read poems, and you have to eat tea." Then he came in, went to a table and took some papers for them.

Baochai took a look at it and said, "Is this Baoyu's? Sure enough, it has improved." Then he said, "Three girl's writing is getting better and better." Then he opened the page and handed it to Daiyu, saying: "Look at it too."

Daiyu took it over, and said without looking at it first: "You said that you have benefited, it must be benefited."

This is a poem of Qilu, with the words "Mr. Yihong" inscribed next to it.Daiyu doesn't look at the poems either, she just reads the words carefully.After a while, he said: "Third sister's handwriting is really getting better and better."

Hearing the words, Tan Chun smiled and said: "Don't coax me, if it really gets better, I will live up to the hard work I have put in these days."

The girl who came in to meet the newborn was followed by a little girl who had just left her hair carrying a water bottle. Tanchun smiled and said: "Why are you here, serving the book? This little hoof is just trying to be lazy. I taught her to do it." How could she push it to you?"

Daiyu took a closer look at the girl, with a light green jacket, an eggplant-colored bijia on the outside, and a white satin skirt underneath.In the ear is the bright moon pendant, and when I raise my hand, two bracelets, one gold and one silver, jingle.Looking at the situation, it is Tanchun's girl, but she doesn't recognize her, it should be rewarded by Nan'an Concubine.

The girl smiled and said: "I was talking with the servant book. I heard that Grandma Zhen called for someone. She wanted to answer the old lady. I'm afraid the little girl couldn't tell the truth, so she had to go there in person. Sister Hongxiao said that she Come on, I thought, we can't just sit and teach our guests to work. It doesn't make sense wherever we go."

Tanchun laughed and said, "Make tea quickly, the water is cold." The girl went inside.

Before a cup of tea was eaten, Xichun came, so everyone got up again and went back to Xichun's house the same way.

When I walked to the second gate, I saw grandma Liu coming.Today she changed into new clothes, oiled her hair, put her hair up in a bun, and wore a silver hairpin.Seeing them, she greeted them with a smile, but Daiyu hurriedly avoided them and said, "Grandma is here, please come inside."

Tanchun said: "The old lady who got up early asked you, but the family is over. Where are Ban'er and Qing'er? I said to have breakfast, and someone will invite you. Why don't you come?"

Grandma Liu crossed her hands and smiled, "Before I could help, I was eating and taking. The leftovers are good. I took them back and shared a few bowls with the neighbors, and told everyone about it." OK."

Just as he was talking, Youshi came, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "What good stuff?" Then he said, "If you don't dislike it, you can pick up the clean ones and take them back after you finish eating today."

Grandma Liu was overjoyed, and said: "That's a good relationship. We usually can't eat such good things if we want to eat them. You can feed them to pigs instead."

After saying a few words, Yuanyang picked up the curtain and came out. Seeing them all standing in front of the second door, she said, "Why are the girls outside?" Then she saw Grandma Liu, and said, "Grandma is here, and the old lady is asking, Please come in quickly." After that, he asked Daiyu and the others again, saying: "The spring is cold, it looks warm, but the wind is still cold, the girls should sit in the room and be careful to freeze."

Just as he was about to speak, a woman came in from outside. When she saw Youshi, she said, "We have a visitor. Grandma, go out and have a look."

Youshi hurriedly turned around and wanted to go out again, and said as he walked, "I'll go and see who is here."

Seeing her in a hurry, Baochai smiled and said, "Miss Feng has left, and here comes another girl."

Tanchun said: "Don't mention it in front of sister Qiao."

Baochai laughed and said, "I don't know yet."
