Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

While listening to the opera while eating, Baoyu secretly looked at Daiyu Baochai listening intently, and couldn't help feeling admiration.

These little girls are young, but they know a lot.

Able to write poems and prose, and master the rhythm.Although Daiyu is aloof and conceited, she is not a person who does not understand fireworks. She has a clear understanding of the current situation in Rongguo Mansion where income cannot be made ends meet.In the future, it would be better for Daiyu to marry someone who is as talented as her.Singing the wind and admiring the moon, talking about poetry and Ci, is absolutely delightful.

As for Baochai, who is virtuous and filial, and able to manage financial affairs, if not limited by her background, she is definitely the best choice to be the head of the house.

Baoyu was engrossed in her thoughts, but she heard Xichun sneer beside her and said, "Second elder brother, you look at Sister Lin for a while, and Sister Bao for a while, don't you think your eyes are not enough?"

Baoyu pretended to drink a glass of warm wine, and said, "I was listening to Sister Lin and Sister Bao talking about opera. I didn't expect them to know so much, so I didn't know it at all."

Xichun snorted, with a look of disbelief.

Baoyu looked at Xichun's delicate appearance, and his heart moved slightly.

Speaking of which, Xichun's identity is the most embarrassing.

She is the second lady of Ningguo Mansion, but she lives in Rongguo Mansion.

Especially in terms of origin is even more ambiguous.

It is said that she was born to the mistress of the Ningguo Mansion, but not to mention that her nominal father Jia Jing ignored her, even her eldest brother Jia Zhen just pretended not to have this younger sister.

Xichun chose to become a monk in the end, probably because she was completely desperate for family affection.

Before she knew it, she lost her mind again, Xichun stretched out her hand and patted Baoyu's shoulder: "Second brother, no matter how inconspicuous I am, you can't just lose your mind while talking to me. If you are so absent-minded again, I will get angry."

Baoyu knew that Xichun was very talkative, and this little girl was typically cold-mouthed and cold-hearted, which really annoyed her, maybe she would say something even weirder.

He hurriedly said with a smile: "Good sister, I'm not distracted, I'm thinking about everyone's birthday in our family. It's quite interesting to think about it. Today is Sister Bao's birthday, and it will be Sister Lin's birthday in a few days. Every month someone celebrates their birthday, but it's a pity that it can't be as lively as Sister Bao's birthday."

"Sister Bao is Jiji's age, so her birthday will naturally be more lively. If our little girls' birthdays are also so noisy, our house will never be quiet for a moment."

Just as he was talking, the play had already been sung.Mother Jia called in the singers who sang Xiaodan and the clown, rewarded them with two slings of money, and gave them fruits to eat.

I only heard Sister Feng say: "This Xiaodan looks like a person."

Baoyu took away Xiao Dan, who looked exactly like Daiyu, and thought there was nothing unexpected, but Sister Feng said such a sentence again at this moment.

Baoyu took a closer look, and found that Xiaodan was somewhat similar to Baochai.

Sister Feng is afraid that she is extremely jealous of Baochai, so she uttered such an exaggerated sentence at the Jiji banquet.

I am worried that Xiangyun will be outspoken, and if she tells the truth carelessly again, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and Baochai will all hate her.

Baoyu's thoughts turned, so he had to push Xiren out to top the vat.Anyway, Xiren is somewhat similar to Baochai, and she herself is not here.If it hurt her face, it would be fine to reward her with more silver taels when going back.

It has to be said that after being here for a long time, Baoyu can't help distinguishing people into different classes.

So he said: "I also feel familiar, Sister Feng's words remind me that she is quite similar to the Xiren in my room."

After Baoyu said this, everyone couldn't help thinking about Xiren's appearance, and they really looked like each other.

Xiang Yun smiled and said: "I love the people around brother 1, I remember it clearly. We all just feel familiar, but can't remember. I didn't expect you to recognize it at a glance."

Baoyu said with a smile: "When I came here today, Xiren happened to bring me the cloak. Now I think about it, this Xiaodan is not the same as her."

In the evening, when Baoyu returned to the yard, he saw something wrong with Xiren's face.Then he called her over and said: "At the banquet today, I was the one who kept my mouth open. I just said what I thought, and I have wronged you."

Xiren wept and said, "It's nothing to me, it's just that I was laughed at for a long time, and I feel uncomfortable."

Baoyu asked, "Who laughed at you?"

Xiren frowned in embarrassment, but didn't say anyone's name.

Baoyu called everyone over and said solemnly: "I don't care what is said outside, but if there are any gossips in our yard, don't blame me for not being sympathetic and driving you out."

Baoyu usually seldom joked with the crowd, but now he was so strict that he frightened the maidservants who were making fun of others.

Having said that, Baoyu slowed down his tone again, "Forget about it today, if I find someone chewing their tongues again, no matter who's face, it won't work for me."

Everyone should be in a hurry.

"Xi Ren has been wronged for me today, and I will reward you with 20 taels of silver. I know what will happen to each of you in the future. If you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do badly, you will be punished. If anyone Don't blame me for not remembering the past for those deeds that betrayed the master."

After speaking, he waved his hand to let everyone back down.

The servant who had originally made fun of Xiren couldn't help secretly envious at this moment.

Not only did Xiren get 20 taels of silver, but he also caught the eyes of his master, and he became even more different in the future.

Baoyu took off his outer cloak and went into the inner room.

It was amused to find that Jia Huan was still lying on the bed.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, she gently pushed him: "Huan'er, wake up."

Jia Huan woke up in a daze: "Second brother, you just came back. Is today's birthday party fun?"

"It's just listening to the show and eating, it's not interesting. Why did you go to bed so early?"

Jia Huan rubbed his head: "Second brother, I want to go back."

When Jia Huan said to go back, he meant to go back to his own courtyard.

Baoyu was worried that Jia Huan would encounter some problems while practicing the exercises, so he left him in the courtyard for a few days.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan was a bit stupid to learn other things, but he was very enlightened after practicing this nameless exercise.Now it has been successfully started.

Since Jia Huan thought his courtyard was too restrictive, Baoyu didn't want to keep him any longer, and said with a smile, "Then you go back. Remember to work hard."

Jia Huan put on his shoes, agreed with a smile, and then left.

Baoyu took a bath and lay down on the bed, thinking in her heart: I don't know what Jingyang will look like in the next few days.

The more I think about it, the more curious I feel, wishing that time would pass faster.
