Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

It is said that Lin Daiyu followed the Sanchun sisters early in the morning and waited for Jiamu to come back with everyone at the door. Although Jiamu later said that she was tired and let everyone go, she was originally weak, and she caught a cold when she came back.

Zijuan took out the slightly cooler stove in the mattress and replaced it with a hot one, and covered Daiyu's feet with her hands: "What should I do? Why don't you go and ask an imperial doctor to show the girl, and it will save you money." The girl is ill again."

Lin Daiyu shook her head, coughed twice and asked, "Has Baoyu ever returned?"

"I'm back, I went to the old lady's room. I heard that the old lady stayed for dinner. The girl is a little hungry, so I ordered someone to cook some porridge, so I can use some." Zijuan got up to call someone, Lin Daiyu was busy He reached out and held her hand: "I'm not busy, even if I burn, I don't have any appetite, how can I trouble others."

"Girl, don't worry, the people in this house are all newcomers now. They are not as smart as the waiters in the past. Even the speed of ordering food is faster than before. Let alone a bowl of porridge today, he can handle a bowl of flowers." I got it together quickly for you." Zijuan was glad that she didn't go to Baoyufang, but at the same time felt that it was better than before.

"Grandmother's house is full of people. Those servants have their origins. Who doesn't know that those servants are more noble than us girls." Lin Daiyu thought of the talkative Nanny Li , feel they deserve it.

"Sister Lin, sister Lin, I'm back." Baoyu yelled before entering the door, and the parrot that followed him lifted the curtain, Baoyu rushed in and saw Lin Daiyu lying down: "What's the matter, go out in the morning It was fine before."

Zijuan greeted Baoyu, got up and said, "There was some cold wind in the morning, it's because the slaves didn't take care of me carefully."

"I don't blame you. It's because I have been weaker than others since I was young. Why are you back?" Lin Daiyu tilted her head and looked at Baoyu, as if all her eyes were him. Baoyu smiled and blushed a little, "I Hearing that the ancestor came back, he rushed back from the school, and now he has to go to the ancestor's place after changing clothes."

"Then you go quickly, don't make grandma wait too long." Lin Daiyu hurriedly pushed Baoyu to let him go, Baoyu went back to her room after changing clothes, rushed to Lin Daiyu for a look and then ran out the door.

Lin Daiyu made him look embarrassed, but blushed and sat on the bed, waiting for Baoyu to go out.As soon as Baoyu went out, Xue Baochai came in gracefully. When she saw Zijuan, she smiled and asked Yinger to hand over the basket of things she was carrying: "It's not worth much. I heard that sister Lin is not well, so go get it." some."

Zicuckoo took the basket to Lin Daiyu and opened it to see some oranges.

"What are you doing here with this thing? I don't like to eat it." Lin Daiyu glanced at Xue Baochai.Zijuan on one side carefully took out the things in the basket and put them on the side of the desk, the yellow color was very conspicuous.

"It was brought by my brother when he went out. He said that these things are not common in winter these days. It is a very rare thing. I thought you didn't go out often these two days, so I brought it here." Xue Baochai sat next to Lin Daiyu on the bed On the bed, he reached out and touched Daiyu's forehead, "You are so young, why is your body so poor." She was wearing bright yellow clothes today.The golden lock is hung around the neck, but there is no hairpin on the head, just a jade hairpin.She was originally born with smooth muscles and bones, and she was raised by her father since she was a child. She has a gentle nature and is somewhat different from Lin Daiyu.

"I was born like this. I took more medicine than rice. Sister Bao came a bit late. Baoyu changed her clothes and went to the old lady's place." Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand to push Baochai, and at the same time ordered Zijuan to come Tea, "Now that you're here, if you don't even let you take a sip of tea, it would make me look stingy."

Zijuan on the side had already brought tea, and carefully handed it to Baochai. Baochai took a sip and returned it to Zijuan: "If I came to your house just to see Baoyu, let alone other things, Now that I've got a good thing, the first thing I think of is naturally you, what's the point of being a man like him." Baochai put a handkerchief to the corner of her mouth.

Lin Daiyu held the quilt covering her body silently and did not speak. Baochai sat down and left. When she went out, she happened to see Baoyu coming back.

Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward: "Why is Sister Bao here? Since you are here, why do you have to leave?" He was wearing a bright red brocade robe at the moment, with gold edges rolled on the corners of his clothes, most of which were dark patterns.The brocade bag hanging around the waist was probably embroidered by the maids in the mansion, the style is novel and the color is good.

Baochai pursed her lips, looked at Baoyu's face and unconsciously shook her head, but thought of something again, and smiled slightly: "You go in quickly, sister Lin should be in a hurry."

"Hey!" Baoyu responded with a smile, and trotted in all the way.Ying'er on the side wanted to speak, but couldn't help it. Her young lady was a little different from those in the family. She didn't notice it before, but now that she lived together, she knew that the young lady's ideas were bigger than others. Whatever people say, it's all the same.

"It's almost New Year's Eve now, how does this year come to an end?" Baochai touched the bracelet on his hand and thought for a while, put on a smile again and walked away.

In November, Jia Dairu went to Ningfu to beg for ginseng. He only said that his only grandson was going, but he disappeared within a few days. It's strange, the lame Taoist said it was a cure, but in the end he was cured of his life, who can say clearly about the things in this world."

Jia Huan is holding the piano score in his hand, and now he can't be free for a moment. The so-called leisure on weekdays is nothing more than taking turns in playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. , help me embroider some embroidery bags."

Aunt Zhao looked at Jia Huan suspiciously: "What do you want to embroider bags for? Did you hook up with some little girl?"

Jia Huan continued to memorize the piano score without raising his eyes. For him, this was the first time he had come into contact with it. It was quite new, because Jia Rui died just before the Chinese New Year, so Jia Dairu's family had a bad time this year. Within two days, he also lay down, and the family school was closed.

After the New Year's Eve, news came from the palace that Baochai was asked to go to the election. Aunt Xue was so happy that she didn't know what to say, she kept holding Mrs. Wang's hand and thanking her, but Baochai looked at Mrs. Wang embarrassed With a slight sneer, he stepped forward to persuade his mother: "Why are you so excited, it's not too late to cry when the day comes, the good news hasn't been told to the old lady yet."

"Very, very, let's go now. I have been living in the mansion for so many days now, so much trouble. If Baochai can be elected, it will be a little inconvenient to live here." Aunt Xue suddenly thought of it. , A series of voices ordered people to call Xue Pan.

Xue Pan sat down on the couch as soon as he entered the door. He was very good-looking but was spoiled by his mother. When he arrived in Beijing, he spent days and nights with some pig and dog friends outside, but he took Yinglian a few days ago. Of course it was the girl who beat someone to death because of her.These days, I finally went back to the house when it got dark.

"My mother called me back, but what's the matter?" Xue Pan looked at Aunt Xue and then at Baochai, "But it's done?"

Baochai nodded, with a smile on her face: "Mother said that since Xiaoxuan is going to live in Jia's mansion, it is not convenient, and we will move out after our house in Beijing is cleaned up. Brother can choose a good place."

Xue Pan squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Of course the place has been chosen and cleaned up. Now that it's done, I need to order someone to take care of it."

"What's the matter, your eldest sister is naturally in the palace, can't you treat Baochai badly?" Aunt Xue interjected, and in her heart Baochai's place this time was naturally due to Mrs. Wang's efforts.

Baochai and Xue Pan looked at each other, neither brother nor sister said anything to each other, but Xue Pan got up and said: "In that case, I will go clean up today, my sister will take mother and old lady to say goodbye, and move after lunch. "After he finished speaking, he lifted the curtain and went out, and met Yinglian who was coming in with a basin, "What are you doing with a basin?" He threw the basin aside in a rough voice, and reached out to touch Yinglian. Bai Nen's hand turned up and down, "Stay in the house well, and wait until the place is changed tomorrow, so don't go out casually." After finishing speaking, he left.

Baochai happened to see it when she went out, she pursed her lips and smiled, and walked to Yinglian's side: "What brother said is not wrong at all, you are also a person of status now, how can you do these servant jobs." He clapped Yinglian's hand and led her into his room.

When Jia Huan got the news and sent Xue's family out of Jia's mansion, he saw Mu Kun smiling like a fox beside him: "Sir, what are you doing, you are smiling so treacherously."

Mu Kun shook the paper fan in his hand: "I've done a good deed, so I'm naturally happier. I'm not laughing so treacherously, but you. Now that all six arts are masters, would you like to come out with me here?" Jia's mansion, go out and see the world."

Jia Huan glanced at Mu Kun: "If you can convince those people to let me go out, I will naturally be willing." Eight-year-old Jia Huan is still not big, with a small scholar's head tied in his head, and now he is wearing more and more clothes. He looks more and more like Mu Kun. If others look at it, they will think they are father and son.

Mu Kun nodded: "It's fine if you're willing. Since I can get a family out, since I can bring you out." He smiled and watched the old lady go back to the house, and then reached out to Jia Huan's collar to take Jia Huan's collar. Government room.

Jia Zhengcai just sat down, with a cup of tea in his hand: "What's the matter here, sir?" He looked at Jia Huan standing next to Mu Kun, and felt that it didn't match the rumors he had heard these days, but he Now that I'm getting older, I'm naturally lazy to care about this.

"A message came from my home in Jinling last time, saying that the ancestral house needs to be repaired. I originally thought about going there by myself, but it took a long time to go back and forth. Second, Master Huan is studying the Four Books. If it is delayed for a day No way, I wanted to ask Mr. Zheng if he took Jia Huan with him, and the round trip only took three or four months."

Jia Zheng nodded: "You have been in the house for more than a year now, so you can rest assured, but I don't know if the child's stubbornness will delay the husband."

Mu Kun was surprised and said: "I have never taught anyone who is more obedient and obedient than Master Huan. Why does Mr. Zheng say this? Such modesty makes Mu feel embarrassed." He got up and bowed while talking.

Jia Zheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him: "If you can't make it, Huan'er, come here."

Jia Huan knelt down to greet him. Jia Zheng stretched out his hand and touched Jia Huan's head: "You have never traveled far in the mansion since you were young. As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. I will go to Jinling now." I arranged for a servant to go with you, and it happens that you can also go to your hometown to worship your ancestors, and you must not be naughty." Seeing Jia Huan nodded, he asked him to get up, and then went to call people in, Zhou Rui heard He ordered and entered the door.

Jia Zheng pointed to Zhou Rui and said, "Go and call Lin Zhixiao here, I have something to say."
