Edge of the Red Chamber

Because of the infrequent visits, the yard where Daiyu was originally staying has been used for other purposes.Usually when I come here, I spend the night in the Tanchun room. This time Shi Xiangyun lives in the Tanchun room, and Daiyu lives with Yingchun.

The next morning, when Daiyu got up early, Baoyu came over, followed by Xiren holding a grape-shaped glass water bowl.Daiyu looked ridiculous. Wherever Baoyu went, the attacker must follow, because she asked, "What are you doing with this early in the morning?"

Baoyu took the water bowl from Xiren's hand, gave it to Daiyu, sat down beside her, and said, "Auntie's new good thing, we missed it first. We all got it. This one is yours. I've been keeping it for a long time." Take it for you."

Said, Siqi brought tea to Baoyu to eat, and Hongxiaodan brought a cup to Daiyu.Daiyu didn't wait for Hongxiao to come over, she got up to meet her, just turned to the other side of Yingchun, took the tureen, and didn't go back, so she sat down here and said: "I should leave it to Sister Xue, and I want to leave it to you." What are you doing with me?"

Before Baoyu could speak, Xiren said first, "Miss Bao has a lot of them. Miss Lin just take them." Then he said, "There are two water bowls, and the other one is cucumber. The girl kept it."

It's not that Daiyu pretends to be lofty and innocent and refuses to accept it, but Baoyu has this temperament.As long as she is a little softer and gentler, he will be no big or small, and he doesn't know how to hide.Hearing what Xiren said, she dared not accept it more and more, so she smiled and said, "I don't want to steal people's favors. You should keep them." After she said that, she was afraid that Baoyu would be suspicious, so she said, "I don't like glass. Yes, it’s just a waste of time to give it to me, but it’s a disappointment to this good thing.”

Baoyu was embarrassed and wanted to blame Xiren, thinking that she had no other intentions, but Daiyu didn't know what she was, so she misunderstood her and said, "Listen to her, this is given to you by your aunt, and I will replace it for you." It is my duty to keep it, what does it mean to put it in my own room?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Since you gave it to me, it's mine. If you think about it, I'll give it to you, and my aunt won't blame you."

Baoyu is transparent. Seeing Daiyu's repeated refusals, she knows that she dislikes the thing that passed through his hands.Immediately, his heart became cold, and he hated Daiyu for being careless, and hated himself for not having a long memory.Just as she was about to throw up her sleeves and leave, she couldn't help worrying that Daiyu's face wouldn't show up.He had no choice but to restrain himself and still sit, but his face was a little pale, and he said: "I just don't want to part with it."

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone outside say: "Second brother still has something he can't bear, that's amazing."

The Xianglian made a sound, but it was Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun who came.

Tanchun said: "This door is early, why did you come here? Is the old lady up yet?"

Originally, Jia's mother gave Xiren to Shi Xiangyun, but after their wives disappeared, Jia's mother gave her to Baoyu.

Although they are not masters and servants today, because they often come to play in the mansion, whether it is with Baoyu or not, the relationship between the two of them is still there. Seeing her asking, Xiren said, "You don't know him yet? You just like him." It's lively, you and Miss Lin are here, how can he still sleep?" Then he said: "He is like a chicken, he has to come over without washing his face, and he is willing to listen to a few words before he can talk, and he will go over here after washing up. Come on, how do you know if the old lady is up? According to the past, it's time to get up at this time."

When Shi Xiangyun came in, he looked towards Baoyu, saw the water bowl on the high table at a glance, and immediately understood, but Xiren said, "You and Miss Lin are here, how can he still sleep?" I have her in my eyes, why didn't I see him go to see her, so I sneered and said: "What is it, it turns out to be this favorite thing, what kind of good thing? It's worth such a treasure as you, you ask Sister Bao, what kind of good can't you?" Got it?" So he pulled Tanchun, "Let's go quickly, don't be annoying here."

Just got up, Xue Baochai and Xichun came in hand in hand, saw them standing, as if they were about to go out, said with a smile, "Fortunately, we came early." Talking and laughing, everyone got up to save Jiamu.

Unexpectedly, Jiamu was inviting a doctor here, and Yuanyang came out to lead them into the bisha cabinet. The two wives of King Xing and Wang Xifeng of Li Wan were also there.The girls hurriedly greeted each other, and they were anxious to ask, but before they could open their mouths, Youshi came, also anxious to care, and said, "How is the old lady? She was fine yesterday."

Wang Xifeng pointed at Baoyu and said angrily, "It's not them? Auntie sent a basket of fresh peaches yesterday, which are big and sweet. I also told them, just taste a piece. If you like it, take it back to your own room." The old people are greedy, and they eat sweet and delicious food. How can they persuade them? After eating more than half of it, they wake up twice in a row at the fifth watch, and lose energy in the morning. I only found out after I came over and asked Yuanyang."

Just as he was talking, Jia Lian led the imperial physician out, and the girls hurried out.

When Jia Mu saw Youshi was there, she said, "It's not an outsider. I came here yesterday, and I'm here again today. What does the guest who left the house look like?" Then she said, "I said it's okay, Feng girl just doesn't listen, making the whole family restless." After saying that, she said to Wang Xifeng, "You heard what the imperial physician said just now, just go shopping with your sisters." Looking at Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, "You guys go too. If you have any delicious food, pick some soft ones and send them over. I'll eat the same at home, so I'll be more comfortable."

Daiyu didn't want to go to the East Mansion, and Qia Jiamu couldn't go there either, so she said, "We're all leaving, the old lady is alone, she doesn't even have anyone to talk to, it's so boring, why don't I stay."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "My son, it's hard for you to have such a heart. Are you afraid that I have no one to talk to here? It's so easy for you to come here once, just hang out with Baoyu and the others." After finishing speaking, she immediately forced Mrs. Wang Mrs. Xing took them away.

Daiyu had no choice but to agree.

Because of Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng, Jia Zhen picked them up in person.Youshi's mother and two younger sisters have arrived here first.Daiyu saw that the second sister You and the third sister were gentle and quiet, and the other was gorgeous and generous, both of which are rare symbols.It's just that it doesn't look much like Youshi, and I feel relieved when I think of Mrs. You's mother and daughter who married later.Everyone saw each other and gave up their seats.Jia Zhenyou and his family handed tea. Jia Zhen asked about Jia Mu, and Wang Xifeng waited for Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to speak, and first said what was in the Bisha cupboard and what Jia Mu said.

When Jia Zhen saw Daiyu, she said, "Sister Lin is a rare visitor. There are many customers today. I'm afraid the hospitality is not good. Just stay at home and don't be a layman."

Daiyu got up and listened, and said a few polite words.Just as he was talking, people outside said that the two masters and the men of the family had come, and Jia Zhen hurriedly greeted them.

Anticipating that Jia Rong was afraid to come in to say hello for a while, Youshi sent her maid to take their sisters and Youshi's sisters to have a rest in the inner room.

Perhaps the You sisters felt that their identities were different, so they seldom talked to them. After saying hello, they sat down beside them and drank tea in silence.

Before a bowl of tea had been eaten, a servant girl came in and invited them out to a table.

The rice is placed in the house, because it's my own wife, so I don't pay much attention to it, even Baoyu eats here.

After eating for a while, Wang Xifeng said that he was going to see Qin Keqing.

Also on the way, Daiyu knew that Qin Keqing was ill and everyone was at home, so it wouldn't be good if she didn't go to see her, so she said she would go with her. Baochai and Shi Xiangyun would naturally go too, and Baoyu was always indispensable.

Xichun, the nephew and daughter-in-law of her first relative, refused to see her, so she and Yingchun Tanchun went to the garden to watch a play.

When the maid at the door saw them coming, she wanted to report them inside. Sister Feng waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't disturb your grandma." Then, several people entered the door and quietly walked into the inner room. When she was about to stand up, Sister Feng said, "Don't get up quickly, you may feel dizzy." So she took two quick steps, pressed her hand, and sat down on the mattress where Mrs. Qin was sitting.Baoyu and Daiyu said hello and sat on the chairs opposite.

Qin Keqing hurriedly ordered the servant girl, "Pour some tea quickly, the aunts and second uncle are walking all the way, I'm afraid they are also thirsty."

There is a sweet fragrance burning in Qin's house, and the decorations in the house are extremely exquisite and gorgeous, but it doesn't suit Daiyu's temperament, so she doesn't like it very much.

Hearing Qin's saying "it may not be possible to make it through the New Year", thinking of Cheng Lingyun who just left and Lin Yan who went far away, the circles of his eyes turned red.Fearing that the patient would feel bad after seeing it, he hurriedly turned his head away, and saw Baoyu weeping at "Begonia in Spring Sleeping Picture".

When Sister Feng saw her, she felt even more sad, but she was afraid that the patient would feel sad when she saw this appearance. It was not her intention to enlighten her.After Baoyu was driven out, the Qin family was comforted.

Baozhu said: "It's exactly what grandma said. Even if our grandma refuses to eat, grandma also persuades me to eat as much as I want. If we persuade, we will not listen. If grandma persuades, I'm afraid we can still listen to it." .”

Before Sister Feng could speak, Daiyu said, "That's exactly what I said. It's because I'm sick that I don't want to eat, so I have to take more. Although medicine is for curing diseases, it's just an aid. Food is the king."

Hearing this, Sister Feng knew that she felt something in her heart, and her eyes turned red, and she asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you later."

Seeing that they were all sincere, Qin Keqing couldn't bear to ignore their kindness, so she said, "The jujube paste yam cake that I sent last time, I'd rather eat it."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "It's nothing. I'll send someone to bring it to you later."

After some persuasion, Youshi sent people to invite him two or three times, and then took Daiyu and Baochai to Huifangyuan.

As they walked, enjoying the scenery, suddenly a person came out from behind the rockery, and said to Sister Feng and the others, "Please greet my sister-in-law, and please greet my two younger sisters."

Daiyu was taken aback, and suddenly she was startled and angry again. She saw Sister Feng walking in front of her and Baochai, and asked the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law beside her in a deep voice, "Which one is this? This garden is full of wives, grandmas and girls." Guys, which one do you collide with, do you still want to live?"

Although scolding the mother-in-law, it might not be scolding him.

Jia Rui suddenly turned purple, bowed to make amends, and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't even recognize me?" Then she looked at Baochai and Daiyu behind her, "I ran into two younger sisters, and I'm here to make amends to the younger sisters." gone."

When he said this, Sister Feng was not easy to get angry. She still had a somber face and said, "The wife is waiting for us, you go first."

Jia Rui agreed, but kept watching Sister Feng and her three with eyes.

Sister Feng is a smart person. Seeing his situation, she already guessed eighty-nine points in her heart, and said to herself: "The toad wants to eat swan meat, so he doesn't look in the mirror to see if he has the life." This is not the time.
