Red Mansions Are Floating Clouds

Yes, old and young men and women, common sayings are spoken, and everyone knows it."

Seeing Jia Mu nodding slightly, with a look of approval on her face, Li Wan went on to say that besides, he didn't read the lyrics and music of "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion". It alludes to Baochai's peeking at "evil books" before

Baochai also thought of this suddenly, but when she was about to refute, she was stifled, she smiled sarcastically and stopped.

Seeing the meaningful smiles on the faces of Daiyu and Tanchun, and Baochai's sudden weakness, Baoqin couldn't help but feel a little confused

Over there, Jiamu Daoqin is the youngest girl, but the lantern riddles are the best. Does your poetry club have rewards? "

There was no reward in the poetry society, but the last one was punished.

Li Wan told the truth, and everyone laughed and said that Baoyu was defeated again, so can he be punished? "

Mother Jia thought about it for a while, and said that I saw that the red plum blossoms in Changcui Temple were beautiful, so I asked him to pick a branch and put it in a vase—it's not busy right now, and it won't be too late when I wait."

Everyone praised the old lady's elegant and interesting punishment."

Just as I was talking, I saw Sister Feng coming in a purple velvet coat with a smile on her face. She said that the old ancestor didn't tell anyone today, but came here on his own, and asked me to find it easier."

When Jia Mu saw her coming, she was very happy in her heart, so she said, I'm afraid you're going to be cold, so don't let anyone tell you, you're such a ghost, and it doesn't matter if you find me to pay tribute to you."

Sister Feng laughed and said, where did I find my filial heart?Because the ancestors want to eat barbecue, sister-in-law Liu and the others have prepared everything. I am going to ask the ancestors, but the ancestors ran to the garden. Now that everything is ready, I am here to ask the ancestors. To eat or to eat? "

When Jia Mu heard that everything was ready, she was very happy, so let's put the sidewalk here." Then she asked someone to invite his wife and concubine to come.

All of a sudden, the little girl said, Madam is not feeling well, and my concubine already had lunch

When Jia Mu heard this, she said that if they don't come, we'll just have fun."

But in a short while, the small stove barbed wire prepared by the Kung Fu kitchen, all kinds of raw meat, as well as the vegetables, fungi and seasonings from the restaurant are delivered at a free price.

Sister Feng saw that the vegetables sent by the restaurant were skewered one by one, and there were so many seasonings and sauces. She couldn't help but click her tongue and said, "Zhenzhen Lin is a good eater. I thought that barbecue is just sprinkled with salt. I didn't expect that there are so many tricks." "

No.80 Baoqin of four rounds of Chongxi

/>

At this time, it was still snowing heavily, and Baoqin was accompanied by the little girl from Jiamu's place. When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Baoqin sent the little girl to warm up with the old woman in the other room, and went to Zhengzhou alone. house

Unexpectedly, just in time for Baochai to borrow Daiyu's idea to open a barbecue restaurant, Aunt Xue disagreed with Baoqin. Although she disdained Baochai's idea, it was just a businessman seeking profit, and it was no big deal. Her mother and daughter whispered , it was inconvenient for Baoqin to go in, and she turned around to leave, but Aunt Xue suddenly turned the conversation on her.

Baoqin stood still again, it didn't matter if she heard the word "Chongxi", Baoqin felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave for a while, only heard the crackling sound, and it took a long time to wake up to the sound of teeth colliding

Hearing that they turned to talk about opening the shop again, Baoqin made up her mind, wrapped up her fur coat tightly, called the little girl in a hurry, and then went back to the women in the empty room where Jiamu was. Thought she had already greeted Aunt Xue, she didn't care

Baoqin did not show any abnormalities, but everything was as usual.

Sure enough, what Baochai said moved Aunt Xue's heart. The next day Aunt Xue came to Jiamu's house and said that she wanted to take advantage of yesterday's heavy snow to borrow a garden from our aunt for a day, set up two tables of coarse wine, and invite the old lady to enjoy the snow. My wife rested early, who would have thought that the snow would recede today"

Mother Jia laughed and said that this is the first snow in October, and there will be many snow days in the future, so it won't be too late to spend money."

Aunt Xue was planning to borrow a cook from Daiyu to ask about the secret of the barbecue, but she suddenly heard Sister Feng laughing and said that Auntie had forgotten carefully, and now first weigh 50 taels of silver and leave it to me to keep it. When it snows, I will Just get ready to drink, Auntie doesn't have to worry about it, and don't forget about it."

Mother Jia laughed and said that, the aunt gave her 50 taels of silver to keep, and she and I shared 25 taels each. When it snowed, I pretended to be unhappy and messed up, and the aunt and wife didn't have to worry about it. Got a benefit”

Sister Feng hurriedly climbed up the pole, and what she said made everyone laugh and fell on the kang

Baoyu and others all went back to the garden, and Daiyu and Xiangyun also took Baoqin with them. Aunt Xue took out a forehead wipe embroidered with gold thread on a crow-blue background from her purse and gave it to Mother Jia, laughing and saying that this is These days, Chai'er specially embroidered it for the old lady, so the old lady can make do with it."

Mother Jia signaled Yuanyang to take it, and said that the child is too polite, so she embroidered and delivered it in three or two days, unlike my granddaughters, who only recite poems and paint all day long, and don't bother with needlework."

Aunt Xue smiled and said that the old lady is being polite, and Chai'er is only two years older, so she is more sensible." Her mouth was modest, but her face was really proud

Sister Feng hurriedly said that Baochai will be 17 years old after the new year, will my aunt find a good family? "

Aunt Xue's face froze, and she forced a smile and said that she is seventeen years old - I can't bear to send her out so early, let's wait and see."

When Baoqin first entered Jia's mansion, Jia's mother showed an extraordinary love for her. The purpose was to shame Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter who depended on Baoyu. ah

In the past few days, Jia Mu was afraid that Baoyu would offend Lao Maobo and provoke Baoqin, so she was always on guard, but fortunately Baoyu still circled Daiyu all day long

Mother Jia saw that Aunt Xue still had no intention of marrying Baochai, and she was obviously going to be exhausted, so she asked about Baoqin's Niangeng horoscope and the family situation. In fact, Baoqin came to Beijing under the banner of waiting to be married. Baoqin is already the son of Xu Mei Hanlin in the whole family, and when Jia Mu first saw Baoqin's beauty, she was afraid that Baoyu would have ideas, so she immediately forced Wang to recognize her goddaughter.

Although a goddaughter in this era cannot be listed in the genealogy, everyone treats her as Baoyu's own sister. How can brothers and sisters be close?

Aunt Xue heard Jiamu's voice as if she wanted to betroth Baoqin to Baoyu, and she was dissatisfied. Our Baochai is hundreds of times better than Baoqin, and she flatters you in front of you every day, but now she is the boss and has not married Xue My aunt just had a second thought, and she smiled and said that it's a pity that this child is not blessed. Her father disappeared the year before last. She has seen many things in the world since she was a child. Her father is a happy man. She was here in the year she retired and betrothed to Mei Hanlin, but her father passed away in the second year."

Women nowadays value chastity, tranquility and gentleness. Aunt Xue said that Baoqin has seen a lot of the world, and she is really not a compliment.

Sister Feng knew the meaning when she heard Jiamu's question. She knew in her heart that this marriage would not be possible anyway. Now she followed Jiamu's wishes and said before Aunt Xue finished speaking. Unfortunately, I was going to be a matchmaker. Well, it has already been promised to others."

Jia Mu laughed and said, who are you going to match up with? "

Sister Feng said that the ancestors don't care about it, I've seen in my heart that the two of them are a couple, now that I have promised someone, it's useless to talk about it, it's better not to talk about it."

Mother Jia and Sister Feng knew each other, so they didn't mention it.

No.80 The vicious Aunt Xue five times

Aunt Xue went back to Xunkong and told Baochai about it. Baochai trembled angrily when she heard it. Mother Jia's move made it clear that she looked down on her and that she was two years older than Baoyu.

Baochai said angrily: "Who cares about their family? I will not marry Jia Baoyu even if I die!"

Aunt Xue tugged at her sleeves, motioned her to keep her voice down, and said with a smile: "After waiting for so many years, who knows how long the old lady can live? Besides, I heard that the pregnancy of the empress is very good, eight out of ten Jiu is a prince, and now your uncle has been promoted to the chief minister of the cabinet. This prince may have a great future. Baoyu was raised by his sister. on him"

Baochai was only speaking in a moment of anger, and she calmed down after listening to Aunt Xue's long speech, and said, "Don't worry, Mom." Then she gnashed her teeth and said, "I sent bird's nest to the hotel last time, why don't I also give it to you this time?" The old lady sent some!"

Aunt Xue patted her arm lightly, and comforted her: "Don't worry, who else can compete with you except that Lin Daiyu? Besides, we can't interfere with the old lady's food."

Baochai thought for a while, then frowned and said: "It is supposed that she has taken the bird's nest for so long, and it should have worked. Why hasn't she been sick once this autumn and winter? Could it be that the medicine is fake?"

Aunt Xue said angrily: "How is this possible, do you know how your father's couples died?

Baochai suddenly thought that Mrs. Wang always said that she couldn't sleep well at night, her energy was not good, and she couldn't eat. Her heart jumped suddenly, and she asked Aunt Xue, "I often hear my aunt say that she can't eat or sleep well. Good night, could it be that sister Lin gave the bird's nest to my aunt?"

Aunt Xue first shook her head and said, "Impossible." In an instant, she became confused again, and said, "I'll go find someone to ask later." People know, even if you eat it for a few years, you won't die anyway, you will be married long ago, and you will be in charge of your own house without a mother-in-law."

Baochai was gradually persuaded, and she also calmed down.

In the evening, when it was time to eat dinner, everyone came to Jiamu's place. Some people came back and said to Mrs. Wang: "Xiren's brother Hua Zifang came in and said that her mother was seriously ill and wanted her daughter. He came to ask for grace and take Xiren home. walk"

Mrs. Wang then said, "Will the mother and daughter Yichao not allow her to go?" At the same time, she called Sister Feng and asked her to handle it according to her discretion, so that Xiren could not be wronged.

Xiren is a housekeeper, but it is enough to send a woman and two maids to follow the car, but since Mrs. Wang specifically instructed, Sister Feng can't afford to make things difficult for Mrs. Wang over such a trivial matter, so she simply followed the example of my aunt.

Xiren first went to Sister Feng's place,
