There is no phoenix

Before I knew it, it was already May.The hot summer makes the Grand View Garden extraordinarily quiet during the day.The birds under the eaves in the yard are also listless.

At noon that day, Baoyu was sitting alone under the eaves of Yihong Courtyard, watching a few mandarin ducks fighting in the pool, when Qinger, who was beside Xue Pan, came in and said, "Second Master Bao, my master invited you out for dinner." .”

Baoyu said, "When?"

Qing'er said, "Go now."

Baoyu said, "Go now? Temporary treat?"

Qing'er said: "Then I don't know, our master told me to invite you."

After Baoyu heard this, he hurried in and changed his clothes, and went out with Qing'er with Mingyan.

It turned out that the business in Xue Pan's shop was good recently, so he specially invited some hard-working shopkeepers to drink. Thinking of Baoyu, he asked Qing'er to invite Baoyu.

When Baoyu came to the restaurant, he saw four or five people in their thirties who had already sat down, and there was a girl accompanying each of them. He felt a little inappropriate for a while, and hesitated to go in.

Seeing Xue Pan, he quickly came over to hold Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, these are all shopkeepers in my shop. It's hard for them to worry about me, so I invite them to get together, and you come and help me to accompany you."

Baoyu was pulled over and sat down.

When everyone heard that Baoyu was the younger brother of Concubine Xiande and the grandson of the Duke, and that he was so handsome, they all toasted Baoyu one after another.For a while, there were staggered cups of wine and constant laughter. After a meal, Baoyu got drunk.

When Mingyan and Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard, it was almost Shenshi.Xiren saw that Baoyu was drunk, so he hurriedly waited for Baoyu to lie on the bed.He also gave Baoyu a sober soup, and used a fan to help Baoyu dissipate heat.

Baoyu lay down for a while, and saw Xiren sitting on one side.Baoyu suddenly thought about the situation at the banquet, the shopkeepers were flirting with the girls around them, and they were entangled with each other, which made Baoyu suddenly feel excited.Looking at Xi Ren again, he is twenty-eight years old at this time, he looks like Gui Rulan, gentle and docile, charming and charming.

Baoyu got up, pulled the attacker, hugged him and said, "My dear sister, stay with me!"

Xiren wanted to struggle, but he was afraid that people outside would hear him, so he half pushed and let Baoyu pester him.

Maybe it was because of reading miscellaneous books such as "Hui Zhen Ji" during this period of time, coupled with the amorous feelings I saw today, and drinking again, Baoyu made a fuss for a long time, and Xi Cai went out shyly.

In fact, it was the first time after returning to Ningguo Mansion that year. Although Baoyu treated Xiren differently, he seldom made friends with Xiren.Compared with the original ignorant, Baoyu is more mature now, but after all, he is only 13 years old, and he is still half confused.

In the evening, Baoyu didn't feel sleepy. Thinking of Baochai's plump, dignified and beautiful, and Daiyu's graceful and graceful demeanor, Baoyu wanted to enter Feifei even more.So I found a few old handkerchiefs, called Qingwen and said, "Qingwen, go and send these handkerchiefs to Sister Lin, and see if she is doing well these days."

After hearing this, Qingwen took the veil and went out.

Just as Daiyu was about to fall asleep, Xueyan said that Baoyu asked Qingwen to deliver a handkerchief.

Thinking of watching "Hui Zhen Ji" with Baoyu, and looking at these half-new and old beats, Daiyu couldn't help but blush.

The ignorant Baoyu is good to any girl, but she is definitely the best to herself, and everyone in Jia's family knows this.Even Sister Feng often made such jokes.

Although Daiyu was only 12 years old at this time and did not understand the love between men and women, she already had a hazy awareness in her heart.In Yangzhou back then, Daiyu felt that Li Tai was a very kind and close person to her because of his love and sincerity, which is like the trust and dependence of a ten-year-old girl on her elder brother.In Jia's mansion and Baoyu, except for the year when they returned to Yangzhou, they had a childhood sweetheart for five full years.

At this time, the young people Daiyu has seen and spoken to are only Li Tai, Baoyu, and Shui Rong.Among these three people, Natural Baoyu has the advantage of the right time, place and people.Looking at the handkerchief, Daiyu felt Baoyu's affection for her very much, so she got up and wrote three poems on the handkerchief, expressing her feelings and melancholy to the fullest.

Although she didn't understand it very well, her father's words have always remained in Daiyu's heart, marry someone who is good to her, don't share her husband with others, don't marry princes, grandchildren and wealthy families, because these people can't be single-minded.Baoyu, since she was a child, at least knows her heart better than others, and treats herself better.

In the afternoon of the next day, because it was cloudy, Baoyu sat at the table reading a book, bored, the girls were happy to go out for a stroll, and for a while there were only Xiren and Baoyu in the room.Baoyu said, "Xiren, go out for a stroll. I don't need you to wait now."

Xi Ren said: "Everyone has gone out, the second master will ask for tea and water later, can't he do it himself? If the old lady knows, she won't kick us out yet."

Baoyu looked up at Xiren, stood up, pulled Xiren over, couldn't help kissing Xiren's face a few times, and said with a smile: "You are the one who serves me most wholeheartedly!"

Before he finished speaking, Qingwen hurried in, and Xiren hurriedly pushed Baoyu away with a blushing face.

Qingwen is a clever person, pretending she didn't see anything, she said with a smile: "I'll get some capital, and some money from them to use!" After that, she hurried into the house, took a few slings of money, and ran away in a hurry out.

Seeing that Qingwen had gone out, Xiren complained to Baoyu, "What does Second Master look like? How can I live if people see me again?"

After Baoyu heard this, he pulled the attacker over and comforted him: "What are you afraid of? You were given to me by the old lady. Sooner or later we will be together for a long time. We just pay attention in the future." After saying that, he walked out.

When Baoyu came to Mrs. Wang's place, she saw Mrs. Wang lying in a rocking chair and taking a nap.Several girls also turned to one side, only Jin Chuan'er knelt beside Mrs. Wang, and gently beat Mrs. Wang's legs.

Baoyu walked over quietly and knelt down beside Jin Chuaner.Jin Chuan and Yu Chuan are sisters, and both are Mrs. Wang's personal maids.

Baoyu saw Jin Chuan at this time, with red lips and jade face, delicate features, and another kind of style with Xiren, so he couldn't help kissing Jin Chuan, who blushed immediately, but didn't say a word.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had not moved, Baoyu boldly leaned over and kissed Jin Chuan, and said in a low voice, "You are so lovely, I will ask my wife to come to my room tomorrow." After that, he stretched out his hand to pull Jin Chuan.

After hearing this, Jin Chuan'er quickly replied in a low voice, "What's the hurry, what's yours is yours."

As soon as the words were finished, Mrs. Wang got up, slapped Jin Chuan fiercely, and cursed: "So Baoyu was taught to be corrupted by you!"

When Baoyu saw Mrs. Wang get up, she didn't know whether Mrs. Wang had seen her actions just now, so she ran out in fright.

In the next few days, Baoyu didn't dare to go to Mrs. Wang's place again.

But Daiyu said that because of the hot weather, except for occasionally going to pay her respects to Jia Mu, she mostly stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, reading, writing and playing the piano, and sometimes teasing the big swallow and parrot in the corridor.That parrot is very spiritual, and soon after I bought it, I learned a few words such as "girl", "drink tea" and "dead girl".

Daiyu especially likes that parrot. Daiyu taught the parrot poetry. After three or four days of teaching, the parrot actually learned the phrase "Ask the king, how can you? My heart is far away from myself", which made Daiyu Zijuan Xueyan I couldn't help laughing, I found it funny.

One day, Daiyu was playing with the parrot under the eaves with the snow geese, when Zijuan came in from the outside and told Daiyu, "Girl, do you know that two major events have happened. Died. Baoyu was beaten terribly by the master, the old lady, wife Lian, Second Mistress, and any other girls? They all went to Yihong Courtyard to see Baoyu."

When Daiyu heard this, she was shocked and said, "What? Jin Chuan died? Baoyu was beaten by his uncle?"
