Concubine daughter of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

This sentence was said by Lin Wanru’s neighbor Miss Zhuangjia in her previous life. Miss Zhuang’s boudoir name is Mengdie. The dignitaries who came came to fancy her and threatened her to be a concubine. How could Zhuang Mengdie be willing, and he couldn't bear to let her parents be troubled by her, so she twisted her hair and went to become her sister-in-law. On the day she lost her hair, Lin Wanru was also there. He said this sentence, and since then, the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has passed away.

Thinking of the past, Lin Wanru was a little dazed, but Xue Baochai silently recited these two lines of poems and clapped her hands, but Jia Baoyu lifted the curtain and came in, and said with a smile: "What are the iron thresholds, earthen buns, what are Sister Wan'er and Sister Bao talking about?" ?”

Followed by Lin Daiyu and four or five maids, Xue Baochai smiled at Lin Wanru: "Look, these two are those dudes."

Lin Wanru laughed, Jia Baoyu was a little puzzled, but Lin Daiyu was smart, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao said we are dandies, so isn't Sister Bao not a dandy? It's a bit inappropriate for Sister Bao to say that .”

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "It is precisely this truth, and I am not worthy to say it."

Lin Wanru asked the girl to serve tea, and Jia Baoyu said to go to the other courtyard to visit relatives. Xue Baochai said: "Nowadays the garden is full of people, coming and going. It will cause trouble if we go, it is better to talk to Tan girl. "

Lin Wanru readily agreed, and Lin Daiyu followed Xue Baochai arm in arm and left the house. Jia Baoyu followed behind sullenly, and the maids all laughed: "Second Master Bao also sometimes places orders."

When she arrived at Jia Tanchun's place, she was practicing calligraphy at the post, next to her were Jia Yingchun and Jia Xichun playing chess, and a few little girls were sitting on the porch playing rope, when they saw Xue Baochai and a group of people coming over, they hurriedly got up to welcome them into the room, and fell down again. Snacks for tea, busy work, Jia Tanchun's room is not big, a total of four chairs, two stools, Jia Tanchun was about to ask the maids to move, Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "Don't be busy, we sit on the couch It's the same as above." Then he asked Jia Tanchun whose copybook it was.

Jia Tanchun was obsessed with calligraphy, and he discussed Liu Gongquan's calligraphy with Lin Daiyu, but Xue Baochai sat next to Jia Yingchun and watched the situation. : "It's cold, I see why my sister isn't wearing big hairy clothes yet?"

Lin Wanru said with a smile: "I'm bored in the room all day, but I don't feel cold. I forgot to add clothes when I came out. The sun is good today, so I don't feel anything."

Jia Baoyu laughed and said, "Sister, I don't know. It hasn't snowed yet. If it snows, it will be cold. I wish people could get under the covers and not come out."

Lin Wanru was a little curious: "The weather in the south is warm, and it seldom snows in winter. It finally fell, and it was sporadic, and it melted in a few days. The book said that it was covered in silver, but I had never seen it before." of."

This is the truth, past and future generations are all Jiangnan people, born and raised in Jiangnan, snow is rare.

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "My sister has never seen it before. When the first snow falls, we might as well invite the old lady to have a banquet to enjoy the snow. It is snowing heavily outside. We will gather around a brazier inside, joking and having fun. Wouldn't it be comfortable? Hey, By the way, during the Chinese New Year, Zhuangzi will also send pheasant and quail, and it is best for us to eat pot."

Lin Wanru thought to himself, this is someone who really enjoys it, and it's hard to refuse, so she said with a smile: "I'm afraid the old lady is busy and doesn't have the time."

Xue Baochai turned around and said with a smile: "If you want to enjoy the snow, you have to go outside. Even if you eat a pot, you will inevitably be filled with cold wind, which is not good."

Lin Daiyu also laughed and said: "Sister Bao said, what's the fun in hiding in the house to enjoy the snow, only seeing the appearance, not seeing the cold, it's just arty, it's better to look for plums in the snow, that's an elegant thing."

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed: "Sister Lin is very right, then let's look for plums in the snow."

Jia Tanchun also laughed and said: "I heard from Sister Feng that there is a nunnery built in the garden, which is full of red plums. Let's go and ask, maybe we can go in and see."

Jia Xichun also raised his head and said, "Not only has a nunnery been built, but I heard that there are real nuns living in it. It is said that they are praying for elder sister's relatives."

Jia Yingchun saw that Jia Xichun was no longer in the mood to play chess, so she put down the chess pieces and said: "I heard that I bought a small opera player in Gusu, ten nuns and Taoist nuns, and a girl who is practicing cultivation with hair. They are coming soon. They are talking about which house to house them in."

Jia Baoyu asked curiously, "Why is there a girl with hair who practiced cultivation?"

Everyone didn't know, so they went to Wang Xifeng's place together. Wang Xifeng was suffering from a headache. This time, more than 20 people lived in the house. I don't know where the house is. Seeing a group of sisters and sisters coming, they greeted each other with a smile. Jia Tanchun said with a smile: "I heard that a girl with hair practice will come to the family, does the second sister-in-law know?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and took tea one by one, and said: "You are well-informed. Your dharma name is Miaoyu. She was also a lady of an official family. She was sick since she was a child, so she led her to practice." Jia Tanchun said: "This dharma name is Miaoyu. It’s unique, but I don’t know what kind of character it is.”

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "Oh, no matter what kind of person he is, I'm worried, but she is easy to arrange, and she is sent directly to the garden, but the twelve little opera singers are about to enter the mansion, and they don't know how to arrange for her." where is it."

Xue Baochai's heart moved, and she said with a smile: "Why don't my mother and I move out and make room for the Pear Fragrance Courtyard."

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said: "Good sister, don't think about it too much. Although there are many things to do and few houses, it is not enough to drive away relatives. If you move out, the old lady will definitely scold me."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "My brother lives outside, and the Lixiang Courtyard is only for me and my mother. It's too big. It's better to vacate the yard. It's the same no matter where my mother and I live."

But Wang Xifeng was resolutely unwilling. Who knew that Mrs. Wang sent someone over to ask where the young opera singers who entered the mansion were located. For the matter of our eldest cousin visiting relatives, we should be wronged, and it is not wronged."

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to agree, thanks again and again, and asked someone to answer Mrs. Wang's words. Xue Baochai said to go back and pack up and move.

Several people gossiped for a while and went back to their rooms. Lin Daiyu asked Lin Wanru, "When did you get so close with Sister Bao?"

Lin Wanru smiled and said, "Sister is jealous?"

Lin Daiyu laughed: "I'm not jealous, no matter how good you are with her, she is also my sister, what has nothing to do with her."

Lin Wanru took Lin Daiyu's hand: "Sister knows this truth, and I naturally understand it. What is my sister worried about? What's more, Sister Bao is upright and knowledgeable. I also like to talk to her. My sister spends all day with Brother Bao. In one place, the three sisters of the Jia family are not on my temper, and I have no one to talk to to relieve my boredom."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I don't blame you, it's just..."

She didn't go on, but her tone was sour, Lin Wanru found it strange, so she asked Long Yan to inquire in private, could it be that Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu had any feuds?

When Long Yan came back, he said: "Miss Bao is kind and friendly, she is good with everyone, whether it is an old lady or a wife, she likes it."

Lin Wanru was even more puzzled, could it be that Lin Daiyu was jealous because Mother Jia also loved Xue Baochai?

Long Yan said again: "Speaking of Miss Bao, there is another strange thing. Master Bao has a piece of beautiful jade in his womb, but Miss Bao has a golden lock presented by an expert from the outside world. The engraved auspicious words are a couple, and everyone said that Miss Bao must marry Second Master Bao, and the two are a golden and jade match from heaven."

Lin Wanru suddenly realized that this was the case, Lin Daiyu was jealous.

Lin Wanru also thought it was ridiculous, although this golden and jade marriage seemed coincidental and rare, but how could he know that the outsider was not invented by the Xue family?

After all, Jia Baoyu's beautiful jade was brought out of the womb. The Xue family must know what words are on it as in-laws. Not impossible.

So, who is the mastermind of this matter?Does the Jia family know?Does Xue Baochai, as the protagonist, know the truth?

If you say you don't know, it's just the elders' self-assessment, that's understandable.

If she knew, but Xue Baochai kept silent, did she also want to marry Jia Baoyu?

Lin Wanru fell into deep thought, and for the first time doubted Xue Baochai's gentleness and peace.

Because of thinking about this matter, Lin Wanru didn't go out for several days, until Lin Daiyu called Zijuan to pass the word, saying that she was going to meet that Miaoyu in the provincial hospital.
