Edge of the Red Chamber

Mrs. Zhao had already set the table and chopsticks. When she saw the three people coming, she hurriedly let them go to the table, and then complained to Lin Jun, saying: "I only care about stubbornness, and I don't care whether your sister is hungry or not."

Zhang Feng'e and Daiyu hurriedly said, "It's none of her business."

One hour after dinner, the three of them were going again. Mrs. Zhao said, "I know you have something to do, but you should also pay attention to the time. If it's late, just send someone to tell me, and I can also send someone to tell the old lady and your sister-in-law." One sound, so that they won't be anxious if they don't see you."

Sister Zhang Feng'e agreed, and after a while, the box was no longer in the hall, but there were several boxes on the shelf. Seeing their sisters coming in, Jing Jing poured tea, and Luzhu brought the boxes over. Four of them were the inkstones that Lin Jun mentioned before. Pen holders, pen washers and paperweights, as well as glass pen washers, root carving paperweights, etc.

When eating just now, Luzhu had asked the people who came with Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e, so she chose these ones specially, and while taking them out, she said, "I looked at them together with Hongxiu Liuli, and I chose these ones. There are others that are more exquisite and detailed than this one, but they don’t make a good shape when put together.”

Zhang Feng'e and Daiyu knew that there was a breath between the girls, and they both said, "Forget it, it will save us trouble." Because the bamboo root carving didn't catch Daiyu's eyes, Daiyu didn't want to bother, Zhang Feng'e and Lin Jun were willing to put their heart into it, but they didn't want to. They only looked at the few kinds of bamboo root carvings, chose three at random, and still put them together.

Sure enough, on the second day, someone from Jia's mansion came to pick up their sisters, so the three of them had to change their clothes and take the maid over there.

After meeting the two wives of King Jiamu and King Xing, Sanchun and Baochai surrounded him, pointed at Baoyu who was coming, and said, "It's so easy for this one to get up early without eating."

Baoyu came up to look at Lin Jun with a smile, and said, "I heard from the third sister that another sister came, is this sister?" Then he thanked Daiyu, "Missing my sister's good things."

Daiyu then said, "What good thing? I don't deserve your thanks."

Baoyu still bowed and said, "It's not for things, but for this heart."

Hearing this, Daiyu didn't know what to say. Pointing at Sanchun, she smiled and said, "If it's for this, then you should thank the second sister, the third sister and the fourth sister. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have thought of it either."

Baochai also came forward to thank her, and said, "The food is good. We all love that bottle very much. That day my mother had a bad appetite, so I thought this food was very appetizing, so I took it. My mother saw it." I also like it, and said: We don’t have such a thing at home. When I asked where I got it, I only thought it was given to me by my wife. I said it was given by my sister Lin, and my mother said me. It's embarrassing. I don't think of you as a sister, but you still think of me."

Since the three springs were accepted, I simply gave a few more bottles. For brothers Jia Baoyu and Jia Huan, Wang Xifeng and Li Wan also gave two bottles each. Okay, so I asked Sanchun to bring a bottle of bills to Baochai.It is also because of the friendship with Baochai, so that it will not break the etiquette, and it is not a relationship between relatives.

Daiyu said: "Sister Xue is too polite, but it's not right to eat a little. I'm embarrassed when you say that."

Tanchun came over and held each other, and said with a smile, "Don't thank me here, or you won't be able to thank Baochai for a day." Then he turned to Baochai and said, "Sister Bao will get it someday." Things, and then return her."

Baoyu saw a room full of girls, who were so happy that they didn't know what to do. Seeing Daiyu and Baochai thanking each other endlessly, he wanted to persuade them, but he refused to say what was wrong, and dared not say so. That's not good. I thought about thousands of words, but I couldn't find a suitable one. I didn't know what to say. After hearing Tanchun's words, I felt very good. I clapped my hands and said with a smile: "It's the third sister who is the one who is right. In other words, if you get something from Sister Lin today, if you get a good one later, if you give it to her, it will not disappoint your friendship."

Lin Jun looked at Nahan from the side, and said in her heart: "This Baoyu is said to be one year older than Daiyu, and it looks good from the outside. Who knows that it is so unreasonable, but by the way, he also accepted it." Really, it can be seen that he is a fool."

Baochai then said, "Brother Bao said that."

He added: "I've never seen such an exquisite bottle, I think it was brought by sister Jun from the south."

Lin Jun nodded and said yes.When he wanted to speak again, the person in front of the door replied: "Ms. Shi is here."

Before he could say a word, he saw a girl in a bright red dress walking in, followed by two women, both carrying bundles.

Xiangyun saluted with Jia's mother and others. Baoyu said, "Why are you here sooner or later? Sister Zhang, Sister Lin, and Sister Lin are one step ahead of you." He introduced them to them again.

Xiangyun was the best with Baochai alone, and met and greeted the three sisters Lin Daiyu, then went to talk to Baochai.

When Jia Mu saw them in harmony, she was very happy, because she said, "Go and play yourselves. I will send someone to call you after I set the meal."

As soon as they came out, everyone went to the small garden at the back and sat down in the small flower hall. The maid served tea and fruits. Xiangyun asked Baoyu, saying, "The peanut you sent over two days ago is good. Do you have?"

Baoyu laughed and said, "Where is there any more? I got one bottle altogether, and I gave you half a bottle. I didn't try the rest. I'll see if there are any left over from my second and third sisters."

Yingchun Tanchun and Xichun all smiled and said, "Don't ask us, we don't have enough to eat." He also pointed to the three sisters Lin Daiyu and said, "It's all caused by her."

Lin Daiyu and the other three naturally did not, Xue Baochai said, "I still have more than half of that bottle left." He asked Yinger to go back and get it.

Xiangyun asked, "Why is this related to Sister Lin?" Then he said, "I'm afraid it wasn't sent by Sister Lin?" After saying that, he walked up to Daiyu and said, "Then I just ask you for it." .”

Daiyu said: "You look for me, and I don't have one. Who would carry this with me?" After saying that, she said: "Not many people in our family like it. I didn't expect you all to like it. The family doesn't have much. Otherwise, it’s okay to ask someone to go back and get it. I copied the prescription for you later, and you can do it at home, it will save trouble.”

Xiangyun then said: "If it's early or late, Sister Lin will write it now, and ask her to try it in the kitchen later, so she might have something to eat at night."

Baochai tapped her forehead with her finger, and scolded with a smile: "I'm so hungry, why can't I wait so long?" Then he said: "Who has nothing to do all day, and carries this recipe with him? You ask her now, where did she come from?"

Lin Jun then said: "I told you that you have a short-cut but a long way. Why wait for the prescription. It's not a big deal. Pick two and take them to the kitchen, ask them to taste them, and keep them for tomorrow." That's it."

Hearing the words, Baoyu clapped his hands and said hello, and said, "We have such people, we didn't expect it." He was about to be sent away immediately.

Baochai laughed and said, "You're too impatient. You haven't brought this thing yet, so what are you going to send?" Everyone laughed, and Baochai saw his embarrassing face, fearing that his face wouldn't come down, so he was busy. In other words, it leads off topic.Knowing that Lin Jun just came to Beijing, she couldn't help asking about the local customs on the way.

After talking for a while, Yinger came over with a glass bottle.Xiangyun is also very in love when he sees it, Baochai can see it.Because she always felt sorry for Xiangyun's lack of father and mother, living off her uncles and aunts, she didn't know how difficult it was on weekdays, but seeing that she liked it, how could she refuse to give it to her, so she said, "Since you like it, I'll even give you the bottle. " Speaking of this, he pointed to Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin gave it to me. Now I decide to give it to you. It's no wonder that Sister Lin wants to come. You just thank her for going."

When Xiangyun came to thank her, Daiyu refused to accept it. She just said, "So what I gave was not a bottle. Besides, since the thing was given to Sister Xue, how to deal with it is naturally up to Sister Xue." , Naturally accepting her favor, he took advantage of the situation and went to thank Baochai again.

Last time, the yard where Zhang Feng'e and Daiyu lived was still tidied up, and Parrot and Skylark were waiting there.Because Lin Jun also came over this time, Mother Jia was afraid that she would be too cramped, so she wanted Daiyu to sleep with her, so Daiyu said, "In the past, when we were at home, we sometimes forgot the time when we talked. The three of us slept on the same bed." When Jia Mu saw her saying that, she just let it go.

After dinner, I chatted and laughed at Jiamu's place. Seeing that Jiamu was tired, they all went back. Sanchun came to Daiyu and the others and said, "Let's talk."

Pian Baoyu sent them out, and when he heard this, he said, "I won't be able to sleep this morning or evening, and it's fun to talk together." He also wanted to go there, and sent the little maid standing on the platform beside him, saying, "Go in and spend some time with you." The eldest sister said that I went to Miss Lin's side, and I will be back after a while."

The three of Zhang Feng'e were not very willing, and if they said they wouldn't let him go, after all they were guests, there was no reason for a guest to drive away the host, and there was still Sanchun around, so they didn't say anything, just let him go.

Baoyu didn't realize it, and said to Baochai, "Sister, I'm afraid it will be boring to go back now, so I might as well go and sit for a while."

Baochai was going back, but Baoyu kept her, so it was hard for her to go.Then he nodded and said, "I haven't seen Sister Zhang and Sister Lin for a long time, and I miss them too." Then he went along with her.

As soon as they walked a few steps, the attacker rushed out with a cloak in his hand. After saying hello, he went to tie it for Baoyu and said, "although it's getting warmer every day, it's a bit cold at night. , now there is another gust of wind, what can you say when you are sick again in your good life tomorrow? The old lady asked, is it our fault again? Even if it is not for us, you should cherish yourself more body."

Baoyu originally wanted to say that he was not cold, because after hearing what was said later, he couldn't say it.

Daiyu stood still and waited after hearing the first words, but she didn't take it seriously when she heard the latter, so she refused to wait and walked away.Both Zhang Feng'e and Lin Jun didn't care when they saw Daiyu, let alone care.Once the three of them left, Sanchun naturally followed.When Baochai saw that they were all gone, it would not be good to leave Baoyu standing alone. If she did not leave alone, he was afraid that they would laugh at them, so he hesitated for a while.When Xiangyun saw Baochai standing still, he didn't know that she was embarrassed, but he thought she was waiting for Baoyu, so he said, "For the sake of thinking of me after you got something, I will wait for you too."

When Baoyu saw that Daiyu's three sisters and Sanchun had gone, she was so anxious that she urged her to attack them one after another. Seeing them standing waiting for him, she was very happy.
