[Red Mansions] The prince is polite
Chapter 100 Nuan Nuan Nuan Relying on Each Other (1)
Fourth Master returned to the room, looked at Xiao Liu carefully for a while, even though he fell asleep, his brows were still slightly frowned, his body was stiff, and he was very disturbed.
Feeling distressed, he leaned over and patted him for a while, then rubbed the back of his neck lightly, watching him loosen his brow knot, turn over and fall asleep.Walk out of the inner room, let someone fetch the washing water, freshen up and change clothes in the outer room.
During the gap between tidying clothes and having breakfast, someone called Fu Xi who was still kneeling outside.
Fuxi, who had been kneeling all night, was languid. To put it more vividly, a fluffy white flour steamed bun became an overnight cornmeal steamed bun.With a yellow sallow face, squinted eyes that lost their light, and a chubby body that seemed to have lost weight, she lowered her head, rolled her eyeballs up, and looked at Fourth Master eagerly.
Fourth master didn't want to look at that face again, so he threw a scarf over his head, "Kneeling all night is not honest, keep kneeling." After finishing speaking, he left.
After Fuxi took off the scarf on her face, she smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't see her eyes. She suddenly felt cold, and quickly covered her face with the scarf, and knelt in the outer room, waiting for Master Liu to scream.
Fourth Master looked back at Fuxi, shook his head, and took Su Amanda to Yuqing Palace as usual.After discussing the matter of going back to the court hall with the prince who was having breakfast, they went to the study room together, and then there were various trivial matters of the day.
Fortunately, the prince didn't care about those disciples on the surface a few days ago, so these days have been quieter, and there is no headache. The fourth master bid farewell to all the ministers.
Not only the ministers took a few glances at Fourth Master, but even the crown prince was a little surprised. He felt that Fourth Master was indeed a little different today. Although he didn't seem to have changed much, when he said goodbye, there was a touch of warmth on the corners of his brows and mouth , it seems that people are a lot gentler.In the past, even if nothing happened, they would not be in such a hurry to go back. It seems that newly married people are different.
After the crown prince nodded to let them all back down, he turned around and told Adanda, who was the messenger, to prepare some things for women and send them to the fourth master's mansion as a name for congratulating the newlyweds in the palace.
When the gift arrived, Fourth Master was hugging Xiao Liu and watching him write a fan. He wrote several poems in a row, but Fourth Master was not satisfied. It happened that Fuxi interrupted him, and Xiao Liu didn't want to write any more.
The fourth master looked back at Fuxi who was holding the gift list in his hand, and didn't want to look at it, so he just waved his hand at him, "Since it's for Fujin, send her there, and don't ask me about these things in the future, the mansion The trivial matters should be taken care of by Fujin."
After finishing speaking, he smiled lowly and pinched Xiao Liu's puffed cheeks, "Why, little rascal, you won't even write a love poem, come and watch me write it."
As he said that, he took off a purple brush with a porcelain handle, and covered it with thick ink. After thinking for a while, the end of the pen fell down, and the running script was smooth and tactful:
A Yaoqin song and a song,
Life after life is endless;
Just for the first time looking back,
It's hard to extricate yourself from love;
Carefully pray for the blessings of the Buddha,
After the rain, the sky is sunny and the rainbow is now.
I changed another soft brush, and drew a pool of crowded stalks at the bottom, with two juxtaposed stalks in the middle, and two mandarin ducks intertwined and lingering.
Then he lightly pecked Xiao Liu's lips, seeing him blushing, his eyes dodging and shrinking back, but he retracted into his arms, laughed happily, and handed him the pen in his hand,
"I can't take all of this fan by myself, you have to write or draw something."
Xiao Liu stared blankly at the naughty fourth brother in front of him, opened his mouth, and instead of taking the pen, stretched out his hand to pluck his face. The claws raged on the skin of the face, a few times it was severe, and it hurt a little, but Xiao Liu remained still and let Xiao Liu babble.
Xiao Liu tossed and turned for a while, until Fourth Master's face was torn and his face was covered with fingerprints, and he couldn't find anything pretending to be, so he stopped his paws, lowered his head in embarrassment, and called out voice, "fourth brother..."
Fourth Master touched his cheek, twitched the corner of his mouth, and passed the pen in his hand to Xiao Liu again.
Xiao Liu muttered, "I don't know how to write love poems, you don't like the subtlety that is too standard", tilted her head and thought hard for a while, and finally wrote:
The cloister is an inch of lovesickness, stepping lightly to welcome each other,
The stalks are blossoming side by side, and they have spent ten years working together for ten years.
Xiaoliu's big characters have been practiced by his fourth master since he was a child, and his teaching is also extremely strict. If he can't write a word well, he has to write it over and over again until he can write it well.So his handwriting is very similar to Fourth Master's, with the same integrity and awe-inspiring aura.Only the small parts will show a little softness and tenderness, if you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference at all.
Fourth Master looked down at the handwriting that Xiao Liu had just written, and recited it aloud. When the last sentence was ten years of hard work, his voice was a little unstable.After staring at it for a long time, I closed my eyes, settled the excitement of mutual understanding and respect, dried the paper and ink carefully, put it in the box and locked it carefully.
He also called Lai Fuxi and asked him to take the fan in the box to the House of Internal Affairs to order a pair of fans.
Fuxi only needs to take a walk, and Liu Ye, who turned his back on his back, knows who made the things inside, so he quickly nodded in response,
"Master, what material do you want to make the fan bones? There is a piece of cold jade outside the Great Wall sent by Xue Panxue in the treasury. The tentacles are moist and delicate, transparent and beautiful. The most strange thing is that there are as many stars as snowflakes inside." Textures. Not to mention using it, even if you look at it, you will feel cool. If you hold it in your hand, it must be cool and comfortable, and it is extremely beautiful. If you fan it, the coolness will not be mentioned."
Xiao Liu didn't pay attention to whether it was cold jade or not. He hadn't seen anything before. He only thought about the handwriting of the two people's lingering love poems. No matter what happened, they couldn't be recognized by the people in the palace. Good fruit to eat.
Ignoring the shyness, I quickly poked my head out and said something quickly,
"Fourth brother didn't even say that he had such a thing. He just wanted this. Don't carve another pattern. There is no need to get any royal seal for this personal item. Let's send it to Uncle Xue. He has the most thoughtful idea." .”
The fourth master only pondered for a while, and understood Xiaoliu's meaning, "Fuxi, let's do it this way, the fan should be embroidered again, and this fan should be taken back after it is mounted, so let the master of the Xue family not mention it." Whose handwriting is it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Liu let out a sigh of relief, left fourth brother who was still giving orders, and rolled to the bed in the inner room.After fiddled with the decals of the word “Happy” on the window sill, I belatedly remembered, did the fan I wrote earlier count as a promise of love with my fourth brother?Rolling and rolling on the couch blankly.
Until he supported his waist with both hands and couldn't roll anymore, he arched his body again, pulled the pillow and hugged him in his arms, but he didn't dare to look at the fourth brother.
Unexpectedly, Fourth Master just stroked his cheeks and neck, and seeing that he wasn't sweating, he walked out of the inner room and went to work.
Xiao Liu puffed his cheeks, felt bored for a while, rolled off the bed automatically, and chased him out again, squeezed into a chair with his fourth brother, resting his chin to watch him serious about his work.
Fourth Master turned around and hugged him into his arms, and continued to process the official documents without changing his face or heartbeat, and did not avoid Xiao Liu's scrutiny.But this guy became sleepy after watching it for a while, rubbed his eyes, turned around and hugged his neck, and soon his head softened little by little in fourth master's arms.
Fourth master coughed lowly, took a sip of tea, carefully unbuttoned his coat, pulled out his sleeves, covered him with his backhand, and continued writing.
Day after day, living smoothly and sweetly, the two masters thought that at least they could get by and when Huang Ama came back, who knew that something happened to the fan made for Xue Pan, and they even talked about it. Make a lot of trouble.
The author has something to say: one hundred chapters~(≧▽≦)/~
Chapter 101 Everyone has his own thoughts ①
Not only was the fan ordered by Fourth Master, but even the poems and paintings on the fan were written by Fourth Master.
Immediately, a small courtyard was vacated, and the best jade carving craftsmen and embroiderers were invited to it in person. Food and clothing were all served, and they often came to stroll around.Looking at them one by one, although they don't talk much, they rarely flatter.
Xue Pan also gradually calmed down, and no longer stayed with them for food, lodging and transportation as before.I would go out occasionally to do some errands, and when I came back, I would quietly watch the various parts of the fan and complete them bit by bit.
But the problem lies here. If it is in other places, it is okay to say that in my own home, there are people coming in and out, and there are soups and waters that are sent in and out.The big and small of the family, especially a few clever little girls and servants, after only a little inquiring, they naturally know that the uncle recently took over a business, which is very serious, and the things he uses are not bad.
The master of the family also knew about it, but he wasn't too curious.
Zhen Yinglian focused on her brother with all her heart.
Xue's mother often went to Rongfu, chatting, playing cards, and strolling around the garden, living a very leisurely life.
And Xue Baochai often plays with the sisters in the garden, writes poems, composes lyrics, embroiders a few small pendants, looks at ease, but is actually very anxious inside.Especially in the past six months, the sixth master has stayed behind closed doors, and the fourth master will not come over again. You must know that in another half a year, the sixth master will definitely move out and return to the palace at the appointed time. What intersection.
The other sisters couldn't see it, but Lin Daiyu saw it a little bit, but she persuaded and persuaded her, and said that no matter how persistent she is, it's her own fault.I had no choice but to walk away with a sigh, not to say more, but to let Ying'er, the close maid of Baochai's sister, take care of it carefully.
Although the masters didn't care and asked a few times at most, the little girls and servants below were very curious, so they begged Ying'er.Ying'er was refreshing, thinking that it was not a big deal, she twisted the little girl's cheeks a few times, and agreed.
When the sound was late, when the eldest daughter of the Xue family was about to call Mr. Xue to have dinner, she said this and showed great curiosity. At the end, she looked at her girl sweetly with a smile and said,
"Girl, we are ignorant and don't ask for anything. We just want to catch a glimpse of the fan when it's finished. That's the best thing."
When Xue Baochai was told by Yinger, she was also a little curious. The elder brother brought it home to make something mysterious and mysterious, which was indeed something that had never happened before. After finding Xue Pan, he also asked about it.
When my sister came to ask, Xue Pan of course agreed and explained it well.
"It's a fan. The fourth master is marrying the new Fujin. Didn't you suggest that I use that piece of cold jade bought outside the Great Wall as a congratulatory gift? I guess this thing pleases the fourth master, but it actually made people happy a few days ago." They sent a pair of fans, saying that they want cold jade to make the bones, no tricks, just simple and plain."
"Fourth Master's stuff?" Xue Baochai paused for a while with a smile on his face, then squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, turned around and continued to smile and said:
"This newlywed Yaner, you and I belonged to each other. It must have been made for Sifujin to add fun. Except for the fourth master, who would be willing to use this as a pendant? It's a pity. Hanyu, a fan bone, accidentally fell It's gone."
Xue Pan frowned imperceptibly, but continued on.
"Fourth Master has never seen anything before, and he is willing to use cold jade because it is just the right time to use it in the scorching summer. The thing that fascinates me the most, I am afraid, is the fan. Whether it is a painting or an inscription, it is all written by the master himself. Yes. The fan is ready some other day, let me show you first, and then I will send it over in person.”
Xue Baochai was still thinking about what he had promised before, so he gently pushed Xue Pan's arm, pointed in the direction of Rongfu, and said,
"I'm not the only one who is curious, other people also want to meet, and a poetry club will be held in a few days.
Sister Lin and Second Master Bao haven't spoken to each other for more than half a month since they got annoyed some time ago.
This is an unprecedented thing. Before we had time to talk about it, Baoyu had already stuck to it. Let the left say, Sister Lin, I was wrong, and the right, don't get angry with yourself, it is my fault...
So this time we sisters are going to take this opportunity to bring the two of us together.But you have to find a reason, brother, look, can you lend us this object?Half a day is enough. "
Xue Pan had some idea of Lin Daiyu's future life, and he also had some understanding of her sister's thoughts, and even understood her difficulties.Not only did she lose the glory of her ancestors and the trust of the emperor in the wild lawsuit that year, but she also lost a lot of things.Every time she talked about something in the palace, she always looked lonely.
It's just that now I'm helping fourth master with errands, I've seen a lot, I've learned a lot, I still think that my younger sister will marry someone who is kind and honest, not pedantic, who knows how to cherish others and live a peaceful and beautiful life.
And no one can tell what's going on in the palace, not to mention that my younger sister can only enter as a court lady and not a show girl, even if she is a show lady, so what?After all, things in the world are impermanent, flowers do not last a hundred days, and if you go in, you will not be able to get out. If there is suffering or difficulty, you will bear it alone.
He patted her on the shoulder and said:
"It doesn't matter for half a day, if you want to use this fan to improve your posture, it's okay.
It's just that as a brother, I really don't want anything else, as long as you guys live a smooth and stable life, I have heard about Mother's plans for your marriage.
Baoyu was born and grew up in a female curtain. The old lady has a very good vision, but it's a pity that Mrs. Wang is holding her back.Even if he doesn't like it, he has been holding back for the sake of the eldest girl in the palace, and will no longer interfere with Baoyu's affairs.
Although Baoyu had been brought up to be soft and easy to manage, he really didn't understand world affairs. In recent years, even the old lady didn't pay much attention to him, and Mrs. Wang was responsible for it all.
Mrs. Wang has this kind of meaning, but she is only afraid of the day when Baoyu will fall down in the future.If he has you, he won't be so bad, and if you are good, you will be able to compete with Uncle Lan in the future. "
Xue Pan looked at his thoughtful younger sister, and there were still some things in his heart that he couldn't say:
Uncle Lan is well-off now, so he doesn't care about the three points of the mu, as long as he is a member of the fourth master's family, his future is limitless.In the future, if he is in charge of the family, everything will be fine. If he doesn't, the Jia family may become like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, unable to resist the ever-changing situation in the court.
Xue Baochai lowered her head and thought for a long time. How could she not understand what her brother said? Anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Unfortunately, this matter of marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times, so there is no way for a girl to speak.
What Madam Wang was thinking, how can I not know in my heart, originally I disliked Sister Lin, but now I want to climb but I am too embarrassed to climb, so I put my idea on myself.But the mother was moved by the talk, so there was no other way, she just hoped to see the fourth master, so that there was room for rebirth.Even if there is no result, it is time to give up.
He pursed his lips, turned his face to the side, and after a long while, he raised his foot and took a few steps forward, then turned around suddenly, and asked with amazing eyes,
"My brother is working for the fourth master? I thought that my brother restrained himself because he married his sister-in-law, but now it seems that the fourth master accepted you as his disciple."
Xue Pan looked at Baochai, a little puzzled, but nodded slowly,
"I'm not on the bright side. The development of our team in the past few years is closely related to the fourth master. I'm glad that after doing so many ridiculous things, there is one thing that can be done right. It is my treatment of you for so many years. I made up for my fear."
Baochai smiled happily, revealing two dimples, "It's nothing, you are my brother, the prodigal son will not change his money back, and my mother and I are already very proud of our life today. Mixing with the sisters, I can also tell that the four The family is going downhill. Xiangyun is the daughter of the Hou family, but her life is worse than mine, what else can I say?"
Xue Pan also smiled, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of relaxation and pampering,
"What do you need to tell my brother? You are the only unmarried girl in the family. If you don't pamper you, who will you pamper? It's better if the mouth is simpler, without those twists and turns. Your sister-in-law is also a virtuous person, but she has been a virtuous person for many years. The abduction and trafficking, let her live carefully, take it slowly. So I am very grateful to Fourth Master, although the original intention is not for him. "
Baochai wanted to ask who it was for, but seeing his lost look, she remembered the secret in her heart, so she didn't want to ask. Instead, she changed the topic she wanted to ask the most, blinked her bright eyes, looked at Xue Pan and asked:
"Why would fourth master use you, a person who doesn't matter to anything? You don't want to attract attention and manipulate the merchants behind your back?"
Xue Pan's face immediately became serious, "It's nothing, what are you guessing about, and if you say these are men's affairs, don't ask. Mom should have been waiting for a long time, let's go quickly."
When Xue Pan took such a step, Xue Baochai had no choice but to follow his footsteps in small steps. Even though he had thousands of ideas in his heart, he couldn't ask any more.
Chapter 102 Everyone has his own thoughts②
A few days later, Xue Pan welcomed the skilled craftsmen away with a smile on his face, put the finished fan on an embroidered cover, put it in a green jade box prepared earlier, and handed it to Xue Baochai, saying that he would come before noon Pick it up, and then hurried to the shops to inspect.
After Xue Baochai got the box, her face was full of unconcealable excitement, and she didn't open it to look at it. She just held it in her hands and went to Rongfu.
As soon as I entered the garden, I went to Sister Lin first, chatted casually, saw that Sister Lin was lazy, and wanted to lie down again, so I pointed to the box, called Yinger to me, and twisted it. She said with a very funny face on her cheek:
"The things here are made by my brother, the fourth master. The little girls are very curious. They asked me for a long time, just to have a look. I also thought it was a rare item, so I brought it here with my sisters to see what is new. Don't be lazy, it's rare for us to get together, so how about using this object as a topic?"
After a pause, he added, "I think your place is the coolest, so how about rewarding my sister once?""
Daiyu heard that it belonged to Fourth Master, lay down on her back, slowly covered her face with a handkerchief, closed her eyes and said:
"I won't let Uncle Xue do anything that is really rare. It must be a personal item, and it is not convenient for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle it. Sister Bao, let's go back. It's not good if everyone sees something they shouldn't see. I'm a little sleepy, you guys are playing your own game, if you talk about poetry, I'll do it."
Baochai raised her eyebrows, and said lightly, "Listen to my brother, it's a fan of poetry and painting with deep affection. The fourth master made it himself. It should be for Fujin."
"Sister Bao...it's really impossible to get out after entering the magic barrier." Daiyu lifted up a corner of the handkerchief, exposed her mouth, let out a long breath, and continued:
"Even if Ge Ge is a bed warmer, if he wants to enter the prince's mansion, he must at least be a woman of the Eight Banners. Now that Uncle Xue is able to shoulder the burden of the Xue family with so many people, you don't have to think so much."
Baochai lowered her head and remained silent, and Daiyu said nothing more.After a while, Baochai whispered a few words to Yinger, and asked him to take the prepared post to Zhujin Pavilion.
Not long after, a group of little girls dressed in simple clothes, waving beauty fans in their hands, came in lively and lively, chasing after each other.As soon as the silk curtain was lifted, they found that one was lying on the bed and the other was sitting on the rattan stool, neither of them spoke.
Xiangyun pursed his lips and smiled, and stepped forward to shake Daiyu, "Oh, my Master Dai, there are a lot of fruits waiting for you to pick them up, how can you be so lazy, we are all waiting for your fruits. "
Daiyu lifted the veil and stared coquettishly, "Bah, I want to eat peaches, so I plant them myself, I'm not a monkey."
"We are ordinary people who grow fruits, and you are elegant people who grow flowers and grass. Later we have something to eat, even if you are greedy, we will not give it to you."
As Shi Xiangyun said, he took away the handkerchief Daiyu was holding, ran up to Baochai happily, and pushed one of her shoulders, "Sister Bao, let's leave her alone and let her face the wind and drink the dew alone." Go, we not only want to grow fruit but also raise chickens, ducks and geese, eat meat and drink in big bowls."
Baochai was stunned for a moment, just smiled and didn't answer. Daiyu got off the bed and said angrily, "You girl is not crazy. You are not a good lady of the Hou's mansion. You are going to be a little girl in the Zhuangzi. I will decide later." Sweep the couch and walk upside down to welcome you, as long as you dare to come."
Xiang Yun bent down with a smile, and responded repeatedly, "We have agreed, you are not allowed to go back on your word, I will come later."
Daiyu walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, moistened her throat, looked back at Xiangyun, then immediately turned around, and sat with the second girl Tanchun, saying,
"You are very slippery girl. You just said us, you. Now you are talking about us, who is with you. You have been discussing marriage for several years, and the old lady pities you and does not want you to marry early. I am I think it's better for you to marry early, so as not to harm my Zhuangzi."
Yingchun's expression suddenly became gloomy, Baochai could see it clearly, but she didn't want to say anything.Only Baoyu, who shrank behind her head, yelled,
"Every one of you who have come and gone is going to leave me. The wife, who has listened to someone, wants to move me out of the garden, and the second sister has already made an appointment. The date of marriage is very urgent, but this year I will go through the door. The second sister has always used the rouge I made, if there is a shortage, what should I do?"
After speaking, she began to cry, sobbing and crying very sadly.
Everyone was in a daze at first when they heard it, but with Baoyu's cry, it also evoked a bit of sadness.These sisters, the excitement is lively now, but after all, it can't last long. When the time comes, they still have to separate and each have their own way of life.
Naturally, the playful and smiling faces before were gone, and everyone quieted down, frowning and thinking about the future, sighing in their hearts.
After a long while, Baochai still stood up, looked at Yingchun carefully, her eyes were a little moist, she held Yingchun's cold hands, and asked in a trembling voice, "But this? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yingchun shook her head, squeezed her handkerchief, and said she didn't know.
On the other hand, Ping'er, who was following Feng girl, knew how true it was. After lowering her eyes for a while, she compared her ears, covered her mouth again, and then said:
"The grand lord has accepted all the betrothal gifts. I heard from the grand lady and my grandma that there are five thousand taels of silver. Moreover, the other party is not bad. They made up for the lack of history of the seventh-rank city gate of the Ministry of War, and they still leave the crown prince. Therefore, it is not easy for grandma to intervene in this matter.
But the old lady didn't agree to it, but the old man didn't feel at ease, and quietly accepted the gift and exchanged the invitations.Women's marriages are all ordered by their parents and the matchmaker's words. Even if the old lady objects, the marriage is still a certainty. "
Li Wan nodded sadly, then patted Miss Yingchun on the shoulder, persuading,
"Girl Ying, no matter how long you live in the deep boudoir, you will eventually marry someone. That's good. Although the person you are talking about is just a fill-in, it can be regarded as a decent job. If you really hit up a noble person, in the future, as long as you have a little With good management, it is also harmonious and beautiful, and it is thriving."
After finishing speaking, he dragged the second master who was still crying, and dragged him to the outer room. He was persuaded and served with herbal tea, and waited for a while in the breeze before he was persuaded to come down.
There was a sudden crisp sound inside, and several exclamations came.
Li Wan just wanted to go in, but saw the little sixth master who hadn't seen him for half a year, walking step by step from the other side of the corridor.
Chuchen's face is not only composed of calm and calm, but also a bit of magnificence that makes people unable to take their eyes off.And behind him was not only a nanny, but also a doctor Wei.Ying'er, who always liked to have fun, also restrained her posture, and led the way with lowered eyebrows.
Seeing Baoyu, he waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "You are finally willing to come out. I went to Si Ye's mansion to drink a few days ago, but it's a pity that you didn't come."
He waited for someone to get closer, leaned closer to him, and asked with concern, with a somewhat familiar tone,
"I heard from your guard that you didn't come out because of your poor health. It took you more than half a year to recover. What kind of disease did you have? But there are still some discomforts? Are you all cured now? Do you want me to beg someone and come back again?" A few doctors come to take a look? What’s missing, what’s missing, just tell me.”
The Sixth Master Xibei only smiled at the corner of his mouth, avoiding Baoyu's approaching palm, and did not answer.With a low cough, old man Wei leaned over to explain, while he looked at the bamboo forest and shook his fan freely.
Li Wan was frightened by Baoyu's yelling at first, thinking of Bao Er's daughter's great face, she even invited her out, but the sisters didn't know it, and they were dressed a little casually, fearing that they would be out of place.
Blessing the body, raising the bamboo curtain, inviting people to the outer room, accompanied by Baoyu, and going in to call for people by themselves.
Unexpectedly, when I went in and took a look, the girls looked at the ground with pale faces, their skeletons had been broken, and only the fans remained.
Baochai's face was pale, and even the tears seemed to have froze in the fright, she didn't dare to fall in her eyes, she turned her head to look at the little actors who were huddled together, and gradually took on a stern look.
The little opera singers who got into trouble were crying and raining, all knelt down and kowtowed, only one was still holding a fan that was made according to the model, without the witty and aggressiveness before.I didn't know how to kneel down and beg for mercy, and I didn't cry out of fear. I just lost my soul in an instant as if I had been greatly frightened...
Daiyu walked a few steps quickly, took the paper fan, took a closer look, shook her lips, wrapped her fingers in a handkerchief, and carefully picked up the silk fan that was still in good condition from the pile of broken jade. Get up, brush the handkerchief.
In contrast, when I read the above verse, when I read the last sentence, my eyes were anxious and my expression was flustered.
And after Xiangyun came back to his senses, he came over worriedly and watched together, his face became redder the more he looked, and immediately turned around and walked to the corner, patting his flushed cheeks, muttering.
Daiyu didn't care about Li Wan who hurriedly said that the sixth master was here, so she grabbed Baochai's wrist and said solemnly,
"Where is Brother Xue, can you call him here? This, this..."
If anyone can recognize the characters written by the fourth master and the sixth master, apart from knowing the temperament of the two, of course they can tell the difference between Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, but unfortunately Xiaozhuang is no longer there.Then the one who can still recognize is Daiyu.
Daiyu couldn't tell what the reason was, but when she first saw the calligraphy of the two of them, she recognized it by mistake.And the writing on this paper is clearly a love poem co-written by fourth master and sixth master. Maybe it is precisely because it is a promise of love that I don't want people to know it, so I let the big brother of the Xue family make it, which was smashed , it's not a good sign, just in case you vent your anger...
Daiyu recalled that many years ago when she accompanied her to the outside of the Great Wall, she found that the fourth master had something wrong with the sixth master. When he was hesitating, the fourth master took off his disguise and showed it clearly, cold and sharp, like a warning and a glimpse of illusion.
This kind of eyes that know everything and completely control it may be normal for the prince to appear, but Daiyu was still frightened. Even when her father dealt with the salt merchants, she had never seen such unpredictable eyes. the difference.
And Daiyu also understood how happy he would be if Fourth Master had this kind of thought at that time, and now that he has achieved it, how angry he would be when he knew that he was broken.
Now it is no longer who caused the trouble, but everyone will bear the responsibility, and suddenly remembering that Grandma Li said that the sixth master is here, her eyes lit up, and she slowly put the things in her hands into the original jade box Inside, he took a few quick steps, then turned his head and looked at Baochai who was biting his lip, who was also scared.
Sighing, he pulled her out together, talking quickly while walking,
"The matter is at this point, there is no other way but to beg Sixth Master. But you have to go to Brother Xue immediately and ask him if there is any jade material left, and see if you can delay it for a while.
You know the true identities of the fourth and sixth masters, and those little girls will be punished, but that's not the most important thing, it's better to turn things around. "
Baochai bit her lip, and finally shed long-held tears at Daiyu, her fragility was revealed for a moment, her lips trembled for a while before she held Daiyu's hand and said, "Okay." .Thank you".
Daiyu turned her eyes and smiled slightly, patted her hand and said: "It will be fine, I still have some friendship with Liu Ye, if it doesn't work, I will let Uncle Lan talk about it. You go, leave it to me here." me."
Baochai nodded with tears in her eyes, and retreated through the back door.

Baochai came to Xue Pan, looked at each other for a long time without saying a word, and then closed his eyes and said that the fan bone was broken, but the fan surface was fine.
Xue Pan, who just thought that his sister came to return the fan, was so happy that he would be able to go to the fourth master's mansion soon, wiped the sweat from his forehead in disbelief, and asked in a loud voice, "What?"
Baochai turned her face slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't plan to read it anymore, because it is a love poem written by the fourth master, but there are many people with mixed hands. A little girl went to read it out of curiosity, but she snatched it When I snatched it, it fell to the ground, and then it shattered..."
Xue Pan took a few steps back and stared at Baochai until he felt that he was really not joking. He clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged.Afraid of frightening Baochai by getting angry, he turned around and went out, and said in a low voice,
"It's all my brother's fault. I shouldn't have indulged you. It's not easy to tell about this matter. If you read it privately, it's fine. Now you will definitely pursue it. If the fourth master knows that you have read it, don't say that your boudoir name is damaged." , it is a kindness to come and punish me.
So, I'm going to tell fourth master that the box was accidentally broken when packing it, and it has nothing to do with you. "
Baochai was stunned for a moment, thinking that Daiyu had gone to beg Liu Ye, she trotted after him, and finally caught up with Xue Pan while Xue Pan was waiting to harness her horse, and she was short of breath for a long time but could not make a sound. , hurriedly tugged on Xue Pan's sleeve but refused to let it go.
Xue Pan's eyes were also red-eyed, but he couldn't stop for a while, and it was his sister who was holding on to him, so he could only shout, "My aunt, what's wrong?"
Baochai gasped for a long time before uttering a sentence, "Master Liu, sister Lin, sister Lin has already gone to beg Master Liu..."
"Miss Lin?" Xue Pan immediately calmed down when he heard the name, and thought for a while, but he didn't want to understand the reason for her doing so.
Even if the girl from the Lin family went to find the Sixth Master of the Rong Mansion, it would be Liu Wang in disguise, not the real Sixth Master, and it would not solve the problem.Let alone whether he is willing to help or not, even if he is willing, it is impossible for him to pretend not to know, as long as he tells him, Fourth Master will know immediately.
Thinking of Xue Pan here, he squeezed out a smile, straightened Li Baochai's crooked Zhu Chai, and said slowly, "Don't be nervous, brother will be fine, this is a mistake, I want to eat eight tonight Zhen Suckling Pigeon, tell me to go to the kitchen and be back before dinner."
With tears in her eyes, Baochai nodded, and after a while, she slowly let go of Xue Pan's sleeve, "Are you really going to be fine?"
Xue Pan felt that it was a rough day, but seeing his sister begging so pitifully, his heart softened again, and he sighed and nodded again.
The usually shrewd and reassuring girl is still a little girl who has never experienced anything in the world. I hope this incident will make her think clearly and stop extravagant expectations.The mother's side is really unreliable, and it's still Baoyu's idiot to talk about, so I should ask the fourth master to see who is suitable among his disciples, so let's marry.
After riding the horse, he was no longer impatient, and slowly steered the horse, figuring out all the things, thinking about what to say.
In fact, the reason why Xue Pan was willing to show Baochai the fan with the love poem written by the fourth master was precisely because the girl of the Lin family asked Jia Lan to send a letter, which expressed her sister's thoughts.
I didn't believe it at first, because my sister asked the most about Liu Ye, thinking that my sister was much older than Liu Ye, and I didn't know the identity of Liu Ye, maybe it was just a boy who lived alone under the care of my sister, and Liu Ye was indeed Eye-catching.
I didn't worry that the girl from the Lin family would tell the truth, because she was the fourth master's person who stayed in Rongfu.
With Yuci Zhuangzi, she could have moved out of the right and wrong place immediately, just waiting for the final complaint.But the fourth master is impeccable in doing things, and I don't want the sixth master to be unhappy in Rongfu. With her seal, she is there, and she is more or less on behalf of her.
Feeling distressed, he leaned over and patted him for a while, then rubbed the back of his neck lightly, watching him loosen his brow knot, turn over and fall asleep.Walk out of the inner room, let someone fetch the washing water, freshen up and change clothes in the outer room.
During the gap between tidying clothes and having breakfast, someone called Fu Xi who was still kneeling outside.
Fuxi, who had been kneeling all night, was languid. To put it more vividly, a fluffy white flour steamed bun became an overnight cornmeal steamed bun.With a yellow sallow face, squinted eyes that lost their light, and a chubby body that seemed to have lost weight, she lowered her head, rolled her eyeballs up, and looked at Fourth Master eagerly.
Fourth master didn't want to look at that face again, so he threw a scarf over his head, "Kneeling all night is not honest, keep kneeling." After finishing speaking, he left.
After Fuxi took off the scarf on her face, she smiled so hard that her teeth couldn't see her eyes. She suddenly felt cold, and quickly covered her face with the scarf, and knelt in the outer room, waiting for Master Liu to scream.
Fourth Master looked back at Fuxi, shook his head, and took Su Amanda to Yuqing Palace as usual.After discussing the matter of going back to the court hall with the prince who was having breakfast, they went to the study room together, and then there were various trivial matters of the day.
Fortunately, the prince didn't care about those disciples on the surface a few days ago, so these days have been quieter, and there is no headache. The fourth master bid farewell to all the ministers.
Not only the ministers took a few glances at Fourth Master, but even the crown prince was a little surprised. He felt that Fourth Master was indeed a little different today. Although he didn't seem to have changed much, when he said goodbye, there was a touch of warmth on the corners of his brows and mouth , it seems that people are a lot gentler.In the past, even if nothing happened, they would not be in such a hurry to go back. It seems that newly married people are different.
After the crown prince nodded to let them all back down, he turned around and told Adanda, who was the messenger, to prepare some things for women and send them to the fourth master's mansion as a name for congratulating the newlyweds in the palace.
When the gift arrived, Fourth Master was hugging Xiao Liu and watching him write a fan. He wrote several poems in a row, but Fourth Master was not satisfied. It happened that Fuxi interrupted him, and Xiao Liu didn't want to write any more.
The fourth master looked back at Fuxi who was holding the gift list in his hand, and didn't want to look at it, so he just waved his hand at him, "Since it's for Fujin, send her there, and don't ask me about these things in the future, the mansion The trivial matters should be taken care of by Fujin."
After finishing speaking, he smiled lowly and pinched Xiao Liu's puffed cheeks, "Why, little rascal, you won't even write a love poem, come and watch me write it."
As he said that, he took off a purple brush with a porcelain handle, and covered it with thick ink. After thinking for a while, the end of the pen fell down, and the running script was smooth and tactful:
A Yaoqin song and a song,
Life after life is endless;
Just for the first time looking back,
It's hard to extricate yourself from love;
Carefully pray for the blessings of the Buddha,
After the rain, the sky is sunny and the rainbow is now.
I changed another soft brush, and drew a pool of crowded stalks at the bottom, with two juxtaposed stalks in the middle, and two mandarin ducks intertwined and lingering.
Then he lightly pecked Xiao Liu's lips, seeing him blushing, his eyes dodging and shrinking back, but he retracted into his arms, laughed happily, and handed him the pen in his hand,
"I can't take all of this fan by myself, you have to write or draw something."
Xiao Liu stared blankly at the naughty fourth brother in front of him, opened his mouth, and instead of taking the pen, stretched out his hand to pluck his face. The claws raged on the skin of the face, a few times it was severe, and it hurt a little, but Xiao Liu remained still and let Xiao Liu babble.
Xiao Liu tossed and turned for a while, until Fourth Master's face was torn and his face was covered with fingerprints, and he couldn't find anything pretending to be, so he stopped his paws, lowered his head in embarrassment, and called out voice, "fourth brother..."
Fourth Master touched his cheek, twitched the corner of his mouth, and passed the pen in his hand to Xiao Liu again.
Xiao Liu muttered, "I don't know how to write love poems, you don't like the subtlety that is too standard", tilted her head and thought hard for a while, and finally wrote:
The cloister is an inch of lovesickness, stepping lightly to welcome each other,
The stalks are blossoming side by side, and they have spent ten years working together for ten years.
Xiaoliu's big characters have been practiced by his fourth master since he was a child, and his teaching is also extremely strict. If he can't write a word well, he has to write it over and over again until he can write it well.So his handwriting is very similar to Fourth Master's, with the same integrity and awe-inspiring aura.Only the small parts will show a little softness and tenderness, if you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference at all.
Fourth Master looked down at the handwriting that Xiao Liu had just written, and recited it aloud. When the last sentence was ten years of hard work, his voice was a little unstable.After staring at it for a long time, I closed my eyes, settled the excitement of mutual understanding and respect, dried the paper and ink carefully, put it in the box and locked it carefully.
He also called Lai Fuxi and asked him to take the fan in the box to the House of Internal Affairs to order a pair of fans.
Fuxi only needs to take a walk, and Liu Ye, who turned his back on his back, knows who made the things inside, so he quickly nodded in response,
"Master, what material do you want to make the fan bones? There is a piece of cold jade outside the Great Wall sent by Xue Panxue in the treasury. The tentacles are moist and delicate, transparent and beautiful. The most strange thing is that there are as many stars as snowflakes inside." Textures. Not to mention using it, even if you look at it, you will feel cool. If you hold it in your hand, it must be cool and comfortable, and it is extremely beautiful. If you fan it, the coolness will not be mentioned."
Xiao Liu didn't pay attention to whether it was cold jade or not. He hadn't seen anything before. He only thought about the handwriting of the two people's lingering love poems. No matter what happened, they couldn't be recognized by the people in the palace. Good fruit to eat.
Ignoring the shyness, I quickly poked my head out and said something quickly,
"Fourth brother didn't even say that he had such a thing. He just wanted this. Don't carve another pattern. There is no need to get any royal seal for this personal item. Let's send it to Uncle Xue. He has the most thoughtful idea." .”
The fourth master only pondered for a while, and understood Xiaoliu's meaning, "Fuxi, let's do it this way, the fan should be embroidered again, and this fan should be taken back after it is mounted, so let the master of the Xue family not mention it." Whose handwriting is it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Liu let out a sigh of relief, left fourth brother who was still giving orders, and rolled to the bed in the inner room.After fiddled with the decals of the word “Happy” on the window sill, I belatedly remembered, did the fan I wrote earlier count as a promise of love with my fourth brother?Rolling and rolling on the couch blankly.
Until he supported his waist with both hands and couldn't roll anymore, he arched his body again, pulled the pillow and hugged him in his arms, but he didn't dare to look at the fourth brother.
Unexpectedly, Fourth Master just stroked his cheeks and neck, and seeing that he wasn't sweating, he walked out of the inner room and went to work.
Xiao Liu puffed his cheeks, felt bored for a while, rolled off the bed automatically, and chased him out again, squeezed into a chair with his fourth brother, resting his chin to watch him serious about his work.
Fourth Master turned around and hugged him into his arms, and continued to process the official documents without changing his face or heartbeat, and did not avoid Xiao Liu's scrutiny.But this guy became sleepy after watching it for a while, rubbed his eyes, turned around and hugged his neck, and soon his head softened little by little in fourth master's arms.
Fourth master coughed lowly, took a sip of tea, carefully unbuttoned his coat, pulled out his sleeves, covered him with his backhand, and continued writing.
Day after day, living smoothly and sweetly, the two masters thought that at least they could get by and when Huang Ama came back, who knew that something happened to the fan made for Xue Pan, and they even talked about it. Make a lot of trouble.
The author has something to say: one hundred chapters~(≧▽≦)/~
Chapter 101 Everyone has his own thoughts ①
Not only was the fan ordered by Fourth Master, but even the poems and paintings on the fan were written by Fourth Master.
Immediately, a small courtyard was vacated, and the best jade carving craftsmen and embroiderers were invited to it in person. Food and clothing were all served, and they often came to stroll around.Looking at them one by one, although they don't talk much, they rarely flatter.
Xue Pan also gradually calmed down, and no longer stayed with them for food, lodging and transportation as before.I would go out occasionally to do some errands, and when I came back, I would quietly watch the various parts of the fan and complete them bit by bit.
But the problem lies here. If it is in other places, it is okay to say that in my own home, there are people coming in and out, and there are soups and waters that are sent in and out.The big and small of the family, especially a few clever little girls and servants, after only a little inquiring, they naturally know that the uncle recently took over a business, which is very serious, and the things he uses are not bad.
The master of the family also knew about it, but he wasn't too curious.
Zhen Yinglian focused on her brother with all her heart.
Xue's mother often went to Rongfu, chatting, playing cards, and strolling around the garden, living a very leisurely life.
And Xue Baochai often plays with the sisters in the garden, writes poems, composes lyrics, embroiders a few small pendants, looks at ease, but is actually very anxious inside.Especially in the past six months, the sixth master has stayed behind closed doors, and the fourth master will not come over again. You must know that in another half a year, the sixth master will definitely move out and return to the palace at the appointed time. What intersection.
The other sisters couldn't see it, but Lin Daiyu saw it a little bit, but she persuaded and persuaded her, and said that no matter how persistent she is, it's her own fault.I had no choice but to walk away with a sigh, not to say more, but to let Ying'er, the close maid of Baochai's sister, take care of it carefully.
Although the masters didn't care and asked a few times at most, the little girls and servants below were very curious, so they begged Ying'er.Ying'er was refreshing, thinking that it was not a big deal, she twisted the little girl's cheeks a few times, and agreed.
When the sound was late, when the eldest daughter of the Xue family was about to call Mr. Xue to have dinner, she said this and showed great curiosity. At the end, she looked at her girl sweetly with a smile and said,
"Girl, we are ignorant and don't ask for anything. We just want to catch a glimpse of the fan when it's finished. That's the best thing."
When Xue Baochai was told by Yinger, she was also a little curious. The elder brother brought it home to make something mysterious and mysterious, which was indeed something that had never happened before. After finding Xue Pan, he also asked about it.
When my sister came to ask, Xue Pan of course agreed and explained it well.
"It's a fan. The fourth master is marrying the new Fujin. Didn't you suggest that I use that piece of cold jade bought outside the Great Wall as a congratulatory gift? I guess this thing pleases the fourth master, but it actually made people happy a few days ago." They sent a pair of fans, saying that they want cold jade to make the bones, no tricks, just simple and plain."
"Fourth Master's stuff?" Xue Baochai paused for a while with a smile on his face, then squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, turned around and continued to smile and said:
"This newlywed Yaner, you and I belonged to each other. It must have been made for Sifujin to add fun. Except for the fourth master, who would be willing to use this as a pendant? It's a pity. Hanyu, a fan bone, accidentally fell It's gone."
Xue Pan frowned imperceptibly, but continued on.
"Fourth Master has never seen anything before, and he is willing to use cold jade because it is just the right time to use it in the scorching summer. The thing that fascinates me the most, I am afraid, is the fan. Whether it is a painting or an inscription, it is all written by the master himself. Yes. The fan is ready some other day, let me show you first, and then I will send it over in person.”
Xue Baochai was still thinking about what he had promised before, so he gently pushed Xue Pan's arm, pointed in the direction of Rongfu, and said,
"I'm not the only one who is curious, other people also want to meet, and a poetry club will be held in a few days.
Sister Lin and Second Master Bao haven't spoken to each other for more than half a month since they got annoyed some time ago.
This is an unprecedented thing. Before we had time to talk about it, Baoyu had already stuck to it. Let the left say, Sister Lin, I was wrong, and the right, don't get angry with yourself, it is my fault...
So this time we sisters are going to take this opportunity to bring the two of us together.But you have to find a reason, brother, look, can you lend us this object?Half a day is enough. "
Xue Pan had some idea of Lin Daiyu's future life, and he also had some understanding of her sister's thoughts, and even understood her difficulties.Not only did she lose the glory of her ancestors and the trust of the emperor in the wild lawsuit that year, but she also lost a lot of things.Every time she talked about something in the palace, she always looked lonely.
It's just that now I'm helping fourth master with errands, I've seen a lot, I've learned a lot, I still think that my younger sister will marry someone who is kind and honest, not pedantic, who knows how to cherish others and live a peaceful and beautiful life.
And no one can tell what's going on in the palace, not to mention that my younger sister can only enter as a court lady and not a show girl, even if she is a show lady, so what?After all, things in the world are impermanent, flowers do not last a hundred days, and if you go in, you will not be able to get out. If there is suffering or difficulty, you will bear it alone.
He patted her on the shoulder and said:
"It doesn't matter for half a day, if you want to use this fan to improve your posture, it's okay.
It's just that as a brother, I really don't want anything else, as long as you guys live a smooth and stable life, I have heard about Mother's plans for your marriage.
Baoyu was born and grew up in a female curtain. The old lady has a very good vision, but it's a pity that Mrs. Wang is holding her back.Even if he doesn't like it, he has been holding back for the sake of the eldest girl in the palace, and will no longer interfere with Baoyu's affairs.
Although Baoyu had been brought up to be soft and easy to manage, he really didn't understand world affairs. In recent years, even the old lady didn't pay much attention to him, and Mrs. Wang was responsible for it all.
Mrs. Wang has this kind of meaning, but she is only afraid of the day when Baoyu will fall down in the future.If he has you, he won't be so bad, and if you are good, you will be able to compete with Uncle Lan in the future. "
Xue Pan looked at his thoughtful younger sister, and there were still some things in his heart that he couldn't say:
Uncle Lan is well-off now, so he doesn't care about the three points of the mu, as long as he is a member of the fourth master's family, his future is limitless.In the future, if he is in charge of the family, everything will be fine. If he doesn't, the Jia family may become like mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, unable to resist the ever-changing situation in the court.
Xue Baochai lowered her head and thought for a long time. How could she not understand what her brother said? Anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Unfortunately, this matter of marriage has been ordered by parents since ancient times, so there is no way for a girl to speak.
What Madam Wang was thinking, how can I not know in my heart, originally I disliked Sister Lin, but now I want to climb but I am too embarrassed to climb, so I put my idea on myself.But the mother was moved by the talk, so there was no other way, she just hoped to see the fourth master, so that there was room for rebirth.Even if there is no result, it is time to give up.
He pursed his lips, turned his face to the side, and after a long while, he raised his foot and took a few steps forward, then turned around suddenly, and asked with amazing eyes,
"My brother is working for the fourth master? I thought that my brother restrained himself because he married his sister-in-law, but now it seems that the fourth master accepted you as his disciple."
Xue Pan looked at Baochai, a little puzzled, but nodded slowly,
"I'm not on the bright side. The development of our team in the past few years is closely related to the fourth master. I'm glad that after doing so many ridiculous things, there is one thing that can be done right. It is my treatment of you for so many years. I made up for my fear."
Baochai smiled happily, revealing two dimples, "It's nothing, you are my brother, the prodigal son will not change his money back, and my mother and I are already very proud of our life today. Mixing with the sisters, I can also tell that the four The family is going downhill. Xiangyun is the daughter of the Hou family, but her life is worse than mine, what else can I say?"
Xue Pan also smiled, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were full of relaxation and pampering,
"What do you need to tell my brother? You are the only unmarried girl in the family. If you don't pamper you, who will you pamper? It's better if the mouth is simpler, without those twists and turns. Your sister-in-law is also a virtuous person, but she has been a virtuous person for many years. The abduction and trafficking, let her live carefully, take it slowly. So I am very grateful to Fourth Master, although the original intention is not for him. "
Baochai wanted to ask who it was for, but seeing his lost look, she remembered the secret in her heart, so she didn't want to ask. Instead, she changed the topic she wanted to ask the most, blinked her bright eyes, looked at Xue Pan and asked:
"Why would fourth master use you, a person who doesn't matter to anything? You don't want to attract attention and manipulate the merchants behind your back?"
Xue Pan's face immediately became serious, "It's nothing, what are you guessing about, and if you say these are men's affairs, don't ask. Mom should have been waiting for a long time, let's go quickly."
When Xue Pan took such a step, Xue Baochai had no choice but to follow his footsteps in small steps. Even though he had thousands of ideas in his heart, he couldn't ask any more.
Chapter 102 Everyone has his own thoughts②
A few days later, Xue Pan welcomed the skilled craftsmen away with a smile on his face, put the finished fan on an embroidered cover, put it in a green jade box prepared earlier, and handed it to Xue Baochai, saying that he would come before noon Pick it up, and then hurried to the shops to inspect.
After Xue Baochai got the box, her face was full of unconcealable excitement, and she didn't open it to look at it. She just held it in her hands and went to Rongfu.
As soon as I entered the garden, I went to Sister Lin first, chatted casually, saw that Sister Lin was lazy, and wanted to lie down again, so I pointed to the box, called Yinger to me, and twisted it. She said with a very funny face on her cheek:
"The things here are made by my brother, the fourth master. The little girls are very curious. They asked me for a long time, just to have a look. I also thought it was a rare item, so I brought it here with my sisters to see what is new. Don't be lazy, it's rare for us to get together, so how about using this object as a topic?"
After a pause, he added, "I think your place is the coolest, so how about rewarding my sister once?""
Daiyu heard that it belonged to Fourth Master, lay down on her back, slowly covered her face with a handkerchief, closed her eyes and said:
"I won't let Uncle Xue do anything that is really rare. It must be a personal item, and it is not convenient for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to handle it. Sister Bao, let's go back. It's not good if everyone sees something they shouldn't see. I'm a little sleepy, you guys are playing your own game, if you talk about poetry, I'll do it."
Baochai raised her eyebrows, and said lightly, "Listen to my brother, it's a fan of poetry and painting with deep affection. The fourth master made it himself. It should be for Fujin."
"Sister Bao...it's really impossible to get out after entering the magic barrier." Daiyu lifted up a corner of the handkerchief, exposed her mouth, let out a long breath, and continued:
"Even if Ge Ge is a bed warmer, if he wants to enter the prince's mansion, he must at least be a woman of the Eight Banners. Now that Uncle Xue is able to shoulder the burden of the Xue family with so many people, you don't have to think so much."
Baochai lowered her head and remained silent, and Daiyu said nothing more.After a while, Baochai whispered a few words to Yinger, and asked him to take the prepared post to Zhujin Pavilion.
Not long after, a group of little girls dressed in simple clothes, waving beauty fans in their hands, came in lively and lively, chasing after each other.As soon as the silk curtain was lifted, they found that one was lying on the bed and the other was sitting on the rattan stool, neither of them spoke.
Xiangyun pursed his lips and smiled, and stepped forward to shake Daiyu, "Oh, my Master Dai, there are a lot of fruits waiting for you to pick them up, how can you be so lazy, we are all waiting for your fruits. "
Daiyu lifted the veil and stared coquettishly, "Bah, I want to eat peaches, so I plant them myself, I'm not a monkey."
"We are ordinary people who grow fruits, and you are elegant people who grow flowers and grass. Later we have something to eat, even if you are greedy, we will not give it to you."
As Shi Xiangyun said, he took away the handkerchief Daiyu was holding, ran up to Baochai happily, and pushed one of her shoulders, "Sister Bao, let's leave her alone and let her face the wind and drink the dew alone." Go, we not only want to grow fruit but also raise chickens, ducks and geese, eat meat and drink in big bowls."
Baochai was stunned for a moment, just smiled and didn't answer. Daiyu got off the bed and said angrily, "You girl is not crazy. You are not a good lady of the Hou's mansion. You are going to be a little girl in the Zhuangzi. I will decide later." Sweep the couch and walk upside down to welcome you, as long as you dare to come."
Xiang Yun bent down with a smile, and responded repeatedly, "We have agreed, you are not allowed to go back on your word, I will come later."
Daiyu walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, moistened her throat, looked back at Xiangyun, then immediately turned around, and sat with the second girl Tanchun, saying,
"You are very slippery girl. You just said us, you. Now you are talking about us, who is with you. You have been discussing marriage for several years, and the old lady pities you and does not want you to marry early. I am I think it's better for you to marry early, so as not to harm my Zhuangzi."
Yingchun's expression suddenly became gloomy, Baochai could see it clearly, but she didn't want to say anything.Only Baoyu, who shrank behind her head, yelled,
"Every one of you who have come and gone is going to leave me. The wife, who has listened to someone, wants to move me out of the garden, and the second sister has already made an appointment. The date of marriage is very urgent, but this year I will go through the door. The second sister has always used the rouge I made, if there is a shortage, what should I do?"
After speaking, she began to cry, sobbing and crying very sadly.
Everyone was in a daze at first when they heard it, but with Baoyu's cry, it also evoked a bit of sadness.These sisters, the excitement is lively now, but after all, it can't last long. When the time comes, they still have to separate and each have their own way of life.
Naturally, the playful and smiling faces before were gone, and everyone quieted down, frowning and thinking about the future, sighing in their hearts.
After a long while, Baochai still stood up, looked at Yingchun carefully, her eyes were a little moist, she held Yingchun's cold hands, and asked in a trembling voice, "But this? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Yingchun shook her head, squeezed her handkerchief, and said she didn't know.
On the other hand, Ping'er, who was following Feng girl, knew how true it was. After lowering her eyes for a while, she compared her ears, covered her mouth again, and then said:
"The grand lord has accepted all the betrothal gifts. I heard from the grand lady and my grandma that there are five thousand taels of silver. Moreover, the other party is not bad. They made up for the lack of history of the seventh-rank city gate of the Ministry of War, and they still leave the crown prince. Therefore, it is not easy for grandma to intervene in this matter.
But the old lady didn't agree to it, but the old man didn't feel at ease, and quietly accepted the gift and exchanged the invitations.Women's marriages are all ordered by their parents and the matchmaker's words. Even if the old lady objects, the marriage is still a certainty. "
Li Wan nodded sadly, then patted Miss Yingchun on the shoulder, persuading,
"Girl Ying, no matter how long you live in the deep boudoir, you will eventually marry someone. That's good. Although the person you are talking about is just a fill-in, it can be regarded as a decent job. If you really hit up a noble person, in the future, as long as you have a little With good management, it is also harmonious and beautiful, and it is thriving."
After finishing speaking, he dragged the second master who was still crying, and dragged him to the outer room. He was persuaded and served with herbal tea, and waited for a while in the breeze before he was persuaded to come down.
There was a sudden crisp sound inside, and several exclamations came.
Li Wan just wanted to go in, but saw the little sixth master who hadn't seen him for half a year, walking step by step from the other side of the corridor.
Chuchen's face is not only composed of calm and calm, but also a bit of magnificence that makes people unable to take their eyes off.And behind him was not only a nanny, but also a doctor Wei.Ying'er, who always liked to have fun, also restrained her posture, and led the way with lowered eyebrows.
Seeing Baoyu, he waved his hand vigorously and shouted, "You are finally willing to come out. I went to Si Ye's mansion to drink a few days ago, but it's a pity that you didn't come."
He waited for someone to get closer, leaned closer to him, and asked with concern, with a somewhat familiar tone,
"I heard from your guard that you didn't come out because of your poor health. It took you more than half a year to recover. What kind of disease did you have? But there are still some discomforts? Are you all cured now? Do you want me to beg someone and come back again?" A few doctors come to take a look? What’s missing, what’s missing, just tell me.”
The Sixth Master Xibei only smiled at the corner of his mouth, avoiding Baoyu's approaching palm, and did not answer.With a low cough, old man Wei leaned over to explain, while he looked at the bamboo forest and shook his fan freely.
Li Wan was frightened by Baoyu's yelling at first, thinking of Bao Er's daughter's great face, she even invited her out, but the sisters didn't know it, and they were dressed a little casually, fearing that they would be out of place.
Blessing the body, raising the bamboo curtain, inviting people to the outer room, accompanied by Baoyu, and going in to call for people by themselves.
Unexpectedly, when I went in and took a look, the girls looked at the ground with pale faces, their skeletons had been broken, and only the fans remained.
Baochai's face was pale, and even the tears seemed to have froze in the fright, she didn't dare to fall in her eyes, she turned her head to look at the little actors who were huddled together, and gradually took on a stern look.
The little opera singers who got into trouble were crying and raining, all knelt down and kowtowed, only one was still holding a fan that was made according to the model, without the witty and aggressiveness before.I didn't know how to kneel down and beg for mercy, and I didn't cry out of fear. I just lost my soul in an instant as if I had been greatly frightened...
Daiyu walked a few steps quickly, took the paper fan, took a closer look, shook her lips, wrapped her fingers in a handkerchief, and carefully picked up the silk fan that was still in good condition from the pile of broken jade. Get up, brush the handkerchief.
In contrast, when I read the above verse, when I read the last sentence, my eyes were anxious and my expression was flustered.
And after Xiangyun came back to his senses, he came over worriedly and watched together, his face became redder the more he looked, and immediately turned around and walked to the corner, patting his flushed cheeks, muttering.
Daiyu didn't care about Li Wan who hurriedly said that the sixth master was here, so she grabbed Baochai's wrist and said solemnly,
"Where is Brother Xue, can you call him here? This, this..."
If anyone can recognize the characters written by the fourth master and the sixth master, apart from knowing the temperament of the two, of course they can tell the difference between Kangxi and Xiaozhuang, but unfortunately Xiaozhuang is no longer there.Then the one who can still recognize is Daiyu.
Daiyu couldn't tell what the reason was, but when she first saw the calligraphy of the two of them, she recognized it by mistake.And the writing on this paper is clearly a love poem co-written by fourth master and sixth master. Maybe it is precisely because it is a promise of love that I don't want people to know it, so I let the big brother of the Xue family make it, which was smashed , it's not a good sign, just in case you vent your anger...
Daiyu recalled that many years ago when she accompanied her to the outside of the Great Wall, she found that the fourth master had something wrong with the sixth master. When he was hesitating, the fourth master took off his disguise and showed it clearly, cold and sharp, like a warning and a glimpse of illusion.
This kind of eyes that know everything and completely control it may be normal for the prince to appear, but Daiyu was still frightened. Even when her father dealt with the salt merchants, she had never seen such unpredictable eyes. the difference.
And Daiyu also understood how happy he would be if Fourth Master had this kind of thought at that time, and now that he has achieved it, how angry he would be when he knew that he was broken.
Now it is no longer who caused the trouble, but everyone will bear the responsibility, and suddenly remembering that Grandma Li said that the sixth master is here, her eyes lit up, and she slowly put the things in her hands into the original jade box Inside, he took a few quick steps, then turned his head and looked at Baochai who was biting his lip, who was also scared.
Sighing, he pulled her out together, talking quickly while walking,
"The matter is at this point, there is no other way but to beg Sixth Master. But you have to go to Brother Xue immediately and ask him if there is any jade material left, and see if you can delay it for a while.
You know the true identities of the fourth and sixth masters, and those little girls will be punished, but that's not the most important thing, it's better to turn things around. "
Baochai bit her lip, and finally shed long-held tears at Daiyu, her fragility was revealed for a moment, her lips trembled for a while before she held Daiyu's hand and said, "Okay." .Thank you".
Daiyu turned her eyes and smiled slightly, patted her hand and said: "It will be fine, I still have some friendship with Liu Ye, if it doesn't work, I will let Uncle Lan talk about it. You go, leave it to me here." me."
Baochai nodded with tears in her eyes, and retreated through the back door.
Chapter 103: Everyone has their own thoughts ③
Baochai came to Xue Pan, looked at each other for a long time without saying a word, and then closed his eyes and said that the fan bone was broken, but the fan surface was fine.
Xue Pan, who just thought that his sister came to return the fan, was so happy that he would be able to go to the fourth master's mansion soon, wiped the sweat from his forehead in disbelief, and asked in a loud voice, "What?"
Baochai turned her face slightly, and said in a low voice, "I don't plan to read it anymore, because it is a love poem written by the fourth master, but there are many people with mixed hands. A little girl went to read it out of curiosity, but she snatched it When I snatched it, it fell to the ground, and then it shattered..."
Xue Pan took a few steps back and stared at Baochai until he felt that he was really not joking. He clenched his fists, and the veins on his forehead bulged.Afraid of frightening Baochai by getting angry, he turned around and went out, and said in a low voice,
"It's all my brother's fault. I shouldn't have indulged you. It's not easy to tell about this matter. If you read it privately, it's fine. Now you will definitely pursue it. If the fourth master knows that you have read it, don't say that your boudoir name is damaged." , it is a kindness to come and punish me.
So, I'm going to tell fourth master that the box was accidentally broken when packing it, and it has nothing to do with you. "
Baochai was stunned for a moment, thinking that Daiyu had gone to beg Liu Ye, she trotted after him, and finally caught up with Xue Pan while Xue Pan was waiting to harness her horse, and she was short of breath for a long time but could not make a sound. , hurriedly tugged on Xue Pan's sleeve but refused to let it go.
Xue Pan's eyes were also red-eyed, but he couldn't stop for a while, and it was his sister who was holding on to him, so he could only shout, "My aunt, what's wrong?"
Baochai gasped for a long time before uttering a sentence, "Master Liu, sister Lin, sister Lin has already gone to beg Master Liu..."
"Miss Lin?" Xue Pan immediately calmed down when he heard the name, and thought for a while, but he didn't want to understand the reason for her doing so.
Even if the girl from the Lin family went to find the Sixth Master of the Rong Mansion, it would be Liu Wang in disguise, not the real Sixth Master, and it would not solve the problem.Let alone whether he is willing to help or not, even if he is willing, it is impossible for him to pretend not to know, as long as he tells him, Fourth Master will know immediately.
Thinking of Xue Pan here, he squeezed out a smile, straightened Li Baochai's crooked Zhu Chai, and said slowly, "Don't be nervous, brother will be fine, this is a mistake, I want to eat eight tonight Zhen Suckling Pigeon, tell me to go to the kitchen and be back before dinner."
With tears in her eyes, Baochai nodded, and after a while, she slowly let go of Xue Pan's sleeve, "Are you really going to be fine?"
Xue Pan felt that it was a rough day, but seeing his sister begging so pitifully, his heart softened again, and he sighed and nodded again.
The usually shrewd and reassuring girl is still a little girl who has never experienced anything in the world. I hope this incident will make her think clearly and stop extravagant expectations.The mother's side is really unreliable, and it's still Baoyu's idiot to talk about, so I should ask the fourth master to see who is suitable among his disciples, so let's marry.
After riding the horse, he was no longer impatient, and slowly steered the horse, figuring out all the things, thinking about what to say.
In fact, the reason why Xue Pan was willing to show Baochai the fan with the love poem written by the fourth master was precisely because the girl of the Lin family asked Jia Lan to send a letter, which expressed her sister's thoughts.
I didn't believe it at first, because my sister asked the most about Liu Ye, thinking that my sister was much older than Liu Ye, and I didn't know the identity of Liu Ye, maybe it was just a boy who lived alone under the care of my sister, and Liu Ye was indeed Eye-catching.
I didn't worry that the girl from the Lin family would tell the truth, because she was the fourth master's person who stayed in Rongfu.
With Yuci Zhuangzi, she could have moved out of the right and wrong place immediately, just waiting for the final complaint.But the fourth master is impeccable in doing things, and I don't want the sixth master to be unhappy in Rongfu. With her seal, she is there, and she is more or less on behalf of her.
