There is no phoenix

When Tanchun and Yingchun came together, they saw Xue Pan who had fallen into the pond being pulled up by the boy.Xue Pan was covered in sewage and shivering from the cold, but Daiyu and Xichun were not there.

"Cousin, why did you fall into the pond?" Tanchun and Yingchun hurried forward and asked.Xue Pan trembled and fumbled, unable to speak, so he could only vaguely say that he had accidentally fallen, and he limped back to Lixiangyuan with the help of a servant in embarrassment.

Tanchun and Yingchun came to the backyard and saw Xichun and Daiyu looking at the few kites that Baoyu had bought.Tanchun said: "Sister Lin, aren't you watching the fish there? Why didn't you wait for my second sister and me to come here."

Xichun and Daiyu looked at each other, and said with a big laugh, "We were looking at the fish there, and we saw a huge fish!"

Tan Chun hurriedly approached and said, "Sister Lin, Fourth Sister, how did Cousin Xue fall into the pond? I saw him covered in water and mud just now, he was so cold that he couldn't speak."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Third sister, my fourth sister and I don't know how he fell into the pond. We were looking at the fish. He said he wanted to give us the net fish. Maybe he was too anxious and didn't stand still, so he fell into the pond." We went in, and we were all splashed with sewage."

Baoyu was shocked when he heard this and said, "Why, Brother Xue fell into the pond? Wouldn't it be frozen in such a cold day? Second sister, Lin sister, third sister, fourth sister, you are here to pick kites, although it is not flying now When it comes to kites, we can save them for flying next year. I’ll go and see Brother Xue!” After saying that, he turned to leave.

Tanchun said: "Second brother, you asked us to come and play, and you are leaving now, wouldn't it be a disappointment?"

Baoyu said: "You play first, and I'll come as soon as I go! Aunt Xue, Brother Bao, and Sister Bao are guests in our house now. Now that Brother Xue fell into the pond, I know it would be impolite not to visit him." After saying that, he left in a hurry. .

When Tanchun saw Baoyu leave, Xichun and Daiyu couldn't help laughing and asked why.

Daiyu then told what happened just now.

Tanchun and Yingchun couldn't help laughing when they heard this.Tanchun said: "In theory, this elder brother, Sister Bao, should also learn a lesson. I heard that he is called a 'dumb overlord', and he is usually not afraid of anything. I heard that the girl next to him now, Xiangling, was originally bought by someone else. , this cousin Xue saw that Xiangling was beautiful, so he bought it forcibly and took it home, and beat the person who bought Xiangling to death. I also heard that he can drink, gamble, fight, and spend money like running water. There is hardly a day without trouble, but luckily their family has money and is an imperial merchant."

Daiyu said: "How come Sister Bao is such an outstanding person, but her own brother is like this? In fact, we didn't sincerely want him to fall into the pool just now, we just wanted him to be taught a lesson. Who knew he could dance so well?" In such a hurry!"

Yingchun said: "It's not like being spoiled since childhood. Aunt Xue is only his son, and she depends on him for everything. Now it's hard to control."

Xichun said: "I know, he has more than those shortcomings, so I hate him, but he is just a scum! I heard that he is also the one who makes troubles in the school, and his usual nonsense words are unbearable, which makes our family's learning difficult. It's smoky, if such a person stays in our mansion, I'm afraid Brother Bao and everyone in our mansion will be led to ruin by him!"

Daiyu said: "It seems that we have taken advantage of him just now. Now he is only fourteen or fifteen years old and he is like this. I don't know what will happen when he grows up."

Xichun said: "What cousin, Uncle Xue, I just saw him fall into the pond like a bear, like a big tortoise! ​​Like a fat pig! He's still moaning there."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Fourth Sister's words are really vivid! Next time if he doesn't change, we have to teach him a lesson! But Fourth Sister, we can't say such things in front of Sister Bao."

Tan Chun hurriedly said: "Sister Lin, Fourth Sister, I advise you to stop. Sister Bao's family is left behind by the wife, after all they are guests. If the wife finds out, won't you blame us girls for being so arrogant?"

Yingchun also said: "I think so too, Sister Lin, Fourth Sister, forget it."

Daiyu said: "It's fine if he doesn't offend me, but if he wants to offend me, I'm not letting him have fun!"

Xichun also said: "Me too. A dude who doesn't make progress and is not polite, and even frivolously teases our girls, I look down on such a playboy!"

The four of them were talking when Yuanyang, the girl next to Jia Mu, came over and said, "Miss Lin, the old lady is looking for you, saying that Uncle Lin has a letter."

After hearing this, Daiyu got up quickly and said, "My father has sent a letter? Then I'll go over now!" After that, she followed Yuanyang to Jiamu's place in a hurry.

Daiyu came to Jiamu's place, and Jiamu was sitting on the couch. Seeing Daiyu coming in, she hurriedly said, "Yu'er, come here. Your father wrote a letter saying that he is not feeling well. He wants you to go back and have a look. Go back and clean up." Let’s see, I think it’s better to let your second elder brother Lian take you back the day after tomorrow.”

Daiyu heard this, and hurriedly said, "Is my father sick? Grandma, can I read my father's letter?" Seeing that Daiyu was in a hurry, Jia's mother handed over the letter and said, "Look at it. I want to come to you." I have been here for three years, and your father wants to see you, so you can go back to the house and clean up." Daiyu heard this, so she had to take Zijuan back to clean up.

But when Xue Pan returned to Lixiangyuan, Aunt Xue saw that he was covered in muddy water and shivering from the cold. She was anxious, angry and heartbroken, and scolded: "Nie Zhan, you can't live if you don't make trouble for a day, right? In such a cold day , why did you come back in such muddy water?"

Seeing that Xue Pan's face was turning purple from the cold, Baochai hurriedly persuaded him, "Mom, stop talking, you see my brother is already frozen like this, in such a cold day, my brother must have accidentally fallen from the rocks into the pond. Xiangling, hurry up and get some hot water, wash your body and change your clothes for uncle!"

Xue Pan was wronged, and he was very cold, so he didn't dare to argue, so he was helped to wash and change his clothes.

After a while, Baoyu came to visit. Xue Pan lay on the bed and said, "I accidentally stepped on the stone and didn't stand firm. I was too anxious."

Aunt Xue said: "When are you not in a hurry? You are still like this at the age of 15, how do you deal with things when you grow up? You have to be half as capable as your sister, and I won't worry about you every day like this."

In the evening, Xue Pan had a fever, lying panting and coughing, unable to sleep.Aunt Xue asked the doctor to come and see, she said that she had caught a cold and tortured for several hours before Xue Pan fell into a drowsy sleep.
