New Dream of Red Mansions

Jia Mu looked at them with a smile and said, "February 22 has been set. Later, when you have chosen a place, you will go to your sister Feng. You can also give me some ideas on how to put it away. When everything is cleaned up, You just move in."

Tanchun was overjoyed, pulled Xiyan and asked, "What did you like?"

"I'm still thinking, do you have something you like?"

Daiyu who was on the side heard this and hurriedly said: "We are still together, and there are people talking when we get up and down."

Xiyan nodded, and Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"It would be good if you live together. I fell in love with Qiu Shuangzhai, and I like the grandeur there, so I will live there." Then he turned to ask the sisters if anyone was interested there.

Everyone shook their heads and congratulated her one after another.

Baochai looked at Daiyu, "Do you have a yard that Yan'er and Sister Yan are interested in?"

Daiyu said: "I like the tranquility of the hotel, sister Yan, how about you?"

"The hotel is good, we will choose it, it is the closest to the mansion, and it will be cheaper to greet the old lady in the future."

Seeing that Xiyan and Daiyu were still living together, Jia's mother was naturally happy, and said, "Although your mother has no will, but Brother Sheng and Brother You are still young, it's better to live with you. I think they might as well." Move to live in the garden, and I will report to my empress later."

Xiyan laughed and said: "Brother Sheng is fine. He is young. Although the hotel is not as big as other courtyards, there are quite a few houses. Why don't you let Brother Sheng live with us, Brother Yu?" Now I am studying poetry and books with my third grandfather, I am afraid that I will not have time to come back, so I will leave the room in the back room to him."

"Why this is the case, I think the Tubi Mountain Villa is good. Ascend to the heights and look far away, the two children have great ambitions, why not let them live there, and if the weather is cold, they can move to the Aojingxi Pavilion below. "Mother Jia originally wanted the two children to live in Zhuijin Pavilion, but the Zhujin Pavilion was too big and it was the main building, so it didn't fit their status as guests, so they had to settle for Tubi Villa.

Xiyan and Daiyu's eyes lit up, and they looked at each other with joy in their eyes.

Tubi Mountain Villa is located on the top of the mountain villa, which is the best way to climb up to enjoy the moon. It can almost overlook the panoramic view of the Grand View Garden. There is an open hall and three large rooms on it, all of which are brightly lit, which is best for reading.

Xiyan and Daiyu quickly thanked them.

Baochai lowered her eyes, but the smile on the corner of her mouth became faint.

The happiest thing is Xichun, she hasn't played with Brother Yu for a long time.

In the end, it was settled that Baochai lived in Hengwuyuan, Yingchun lived in Zhuijinlou, Xichun lived in Liaofengxuan, Li Wan lived in Daoxiang Village, Baoyu lived in Yihongyuan, and each place added two old mothers. A maid, in addition to the nurses accompanying the maids, there are also those who are in charge of cleaning.

As soon as the yard was settled, Daiyu took Xiyan to decorate it enthusiastically. Brother Yu and Brother Sheng were very happy to know that they could also move into the garden, "I wanted to draw some pictures of the garden, but now Time to paint slowly.

Daiyu nodded Brother You's head and said: "You are just being lazy, can't you stop painting if you don't stay in?" Daiyu remembered Xichun who asked her yesterday, and said with a smile: "Fourth younger sister is the best at painting. , you might as well discuss it with her later, if you want to paint, you have to paint it well, otherwise wouldn’t it be a waste?”

Brother Sheng clapped his hands at the side, and said distressedly: "Sister, can't I live with you? If I live with Brother Yu, will I have to eat with him in the future?"

Xiyan and You Geer thought that Sheng Geer's foodie nature was all embarrassing.

Daiyu also made a rare black line, and said: "Then you can come over to have dinner with us in the future, and we will ask Zhuierniang to leave delicious food for you." Daiyu knew from Xiyan that walking more is good for the body. The advantage is to lure a brother.

Brother Sheng immediately became entangled, wrinkled his bun face and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay," but he still fought for it: "Can't I let Sister Zijuan send it to me? Even Sister Xueyan can do it."

Daiyu said sadly, "Brother Sheng doesn't want to eat with sister?"

Brother Sheng shook his head quickly, "No, brother Sheng is naturally willing to eat with his sister." It's just that it's too far away, from Tubi Mountain Villa to the hotel.

Daiyu immediately beamed with joy.

A few days later, Baochai's birthday arrived. Daiyu and Xiyan had already prepared presents, but this year is Baochai's Jiji year, so it should be more grand. Mother Jia gave 20 taels of silver to come out and plan to invite a play The troupe came to sing.

Sister Feng took the money and naturally went down to make preparations. Thinking that 20 taels of silver would be enough for banquets and all kinds of melons, fruits, snacks and candies, she took another 20 taels of silver from her own body and invited the troupe to sing. (Although the theater troupe is self-raised, they still have to pay)

Thinking of Baochai's exquisite appearance, Sister Feng gave a rare sneer, and turned to discuss with Jia Lian.

Jia Lian didn't care about these things, and said, "I just want to drink and listen to the theater, and you can do the rest."

Sister Feng sneered and said, "You don't drink and go to theater these few days? You also listen to my advice, don't always run out, the elder sister will hardly recognize you."

Jia Lian withdrew her arm around Sister Feng and said, "Will you treat me? My colleagues outside have invited me. There is no reason not to go. That's all right. When February comes, I won't be able to go even if I want to." In February, Farming and everything must be busy, and the household department will not be idle.

Only then did Sister Feng feel that it was beneficial for Jia Lian to go to the household department.

Coincidentally, Xiangyun came to pay New Year's greetings, and smiled as soon as he entered the door, pushed Xiyan and said: "I heard that you are going to live in the garden, why are you still crowded with sister Lin? You are not allowed to talk about me when I come again later." It's squeezing you."

Daiyu smiled and said, "It's not just squeezing us, the two of us live just right, but you like to come and squeeze."

Xiangyun stuck out his tongue, "I'll squeeze you, don't say you're just moving into the garden, even if you're moving into the sky, I'll find you."

Baochai laughed and said, "Hearing this, it seems that the little girl has offended you and you won't let her go."

"It didn't offend me. There is no one more hateful than her in the mansion."

"It's really wronged, how can I be hateful? It can be seen that the old ancestor is right, and the words are really harsh."

"You say honest words are harsh, but I say you are deliberately picking on me. I say come alone. If you can pick out her bad at all, I will obey you."

Daiyu asked curiously, "Who?"

Xiangyun pulled Baochai over and said with a smile: "If you have the ability, you can pick Sister Bao, right? Sister Yan and I are definitely not as good as you, but is Sister Bao not as good as you?"

Baochai hurriedly wanted to stop Xiangyun's words, but Xiangyun grabbed Baochai's hand and insisted on Daiyu telling why.

Daiyu said with a half-smile, "Sister Bao, I can't pick her out."

Only then did Xiangyun raise his head proudly.

Seeing Xiyan at the side, she smiled and said: "Now you can be proud, be careful that the hairpin will kick you off the bed when you sleep at night." She clapped her hands and said: "This method is really good. Once you are asleep, you will die." You won’t be conscious, we can dig you out from under the bed tomorrow morning.”

Li Wan pulled Xiangyun over and said: "Stop teasing her, if she really keeps up at night, you will know that she is wrong. You are too, why bother to talk back to me? She picked you for your own good." , Do you think she picks on everyone? Just use your elder sister to suppress her for a while, if you don't change, she will pick you again next time."

Daiyu proudly raised her chin to look at her, seeing that Xiyan liked her very much.

I don't know if Xiangyun was really afraid that Daiyu would kick her out of bed, so he insisted on arguing to sleep with Xiyan, but Xiyan had no choice but to give her half of the bed. Sighing, "Why are you bothering? Tomorrow both of us will have dark circles under our eyes."

Xiangyun got up with her pillow in her arms, and ran to Daiyu's room with her shoes on without any clothes on. Xiyan was startled, put on her clothes quickly, and cursed in a low voice: "I don't wear too many clothes." It's a coincidence that you are sick tomorrow."

Xiang Yun didn't care, "What's the matter, I'll be there in a while."

Dongmei and Zijuan heard the sound, and when they saw Xiangyun, they ran out wearing their underwear and hugging a pillow, and quickly put a coat on her body, "Miss Yun is too courageous, go in quickly."

Xiangyun slipped into Daiyu's quilt all at once. Knowing that Daiyu was weak, she dared not touch her, so she only breathed under the quilt.Zijuan found a Mrs. Tang and stuffed it into the quilt for Xiangyun.

Daiyu also woke up from the noise, and when she saw Xiangyun, she said angrily, "You're still making trouble, and it's disturbing everyone so they can't sleep well."

Xiangyun's hands were warm and he didn't care much, so he hugged Daiyu and said, "You and Sister Yan didn't scare me."

"You have always been reckless and bold, when did you become so timid?"

Xiangyun chuckled.

Dongmei found another quilt and put it on the two of them, then she and Zijuan looked at each other helplessly, and went back to sleep.

Baoyu was excited all night yesterday, and ran to Xiangyun the next morning without washing his face, and Zijuan stopped him outside, "Second Master Bao, Miss and Miss Yun are still awake, you go back and wash up first. Come back later."

Baoyu was not happy, "I'll wash it right here, I'll go in and call them."

Zijuan stood firmly in front of Baoyu, and said: "Second Master Bao, let's go back and wash up first, Xiren should be in a hurry, and there is nothing for Second Master Bao to wash up here, so come and play with the girls later. Go quickly Let's go." As he spoke, he pushed Baoyu out.

She knew that Miss Yan didn't like Baoyu barging in at will. In the past few years, the girl has become more sensible, and she doesn't allow Baoyu to mess around.

Feeling Zicuckoo's refusal, Baoyu felt a little sad in his heart, and there were tears in his eyes, so he turned his head and ran away.

"Hey." Zijuan wanted to call him, but Baoyu disappeared all of a sudden.

The author has something to say: I have always felt that the conflicts among the children in the Red Mansion were nothing more than quarrels between little girls. Just like our dormitory, everyone will always quarrel, but it’s okay to turn around or take a day or two. There is really no need to wait.But there are always people who take advantage of these contradictions.

For Baochai, although she has many thoughts and sometimes sinister intentions, she is still very "simple" compared with the men outside and Mrs. Wang and others.
