Red Mansions Become Baochai

After a while, you can ask her for another copy, but don't forget, it's cheaper for her to go. "

Baochai saw that Mrs. Zhen was like an old child, talking very funny, so she quickly covered her mouth and smiled and nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, Mrs. Yang asked the maid beside her to fetch a pair of ring bracelets inlaid with gold, silk, emerald green and inlaid beads, and handed them to Mrs. Xue.Putting on a frowning look on his face, he sighed and said: "I thought about borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, but your mother has a long tongue. It's a new year, and I owe a debt and I can't eat well, so I will pay off the debt first. Wait a minute Go back to wipe the cards with your mother, I must have turned over the book and got this gold bracelet back."

Mrs. Zhen smiled and said: "Then you won't lose money if you wipe the cards. If you get angry here, I'm afraid you will lose even worse, and even the golden face you wear will be lost to others."

Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "It's all in front of the old lady. The three stars of fortune, fortune and longevity are gathered together. Who can win money from you? I just hope to coax a sheep from another house. Let's all come together, sweep the army, and go crazy. Win."

Mrs. Xue said with a smile: "I heard that, I won't be this fat sheep and let you slaughter it, so don't call me when you wipe your cards and play horses."

Mrs. Zhen smiled and said: "Where do you think we are, it is always difficult to get in and out. If you come today, you will stay for dinner. After dinner, you must play eight rounds of cards before you are allowed to go back."

He smiled and called a servant girl to come over and say, "Go to the flower hall in the front yard and meet Mr. Xue, and tell him that I have withheld all his daughters-in-law. He will not be allowed to redeem him until they lose all their money. .” The maid smiled and went away in a blink of an eye.

He also called a few servant girls over and said, "Take Miss Xue's family to find the sisters to play with, and come back after the banquet." Yang Shi also ordered: "The girl is still young, so be careful, don't bump into her." The maids and women hurriedly agreed respectfully.

Baochai had no choice but to follow the maids into the inner room, and met the three sisters of the Zhen family. , who is only six years old this year.

The three sisters are all decorated in the same way, with a bright red waist pinch jacket and an ivory white long skirt.They all wear golden necklaces inlaid with coral, pearls and emeralds on their chests.All of them are very beautiful, which makes people forget the vulgarity.

Zhen Yu saw that Baochai was young, with picturesque features, articulate and elegant manners, so she must have been educated.Sitting down beside Baochai, he asked carefully, "Has my sister ever read?"

Baochai hurriedly replied: "I just learned to read and write with my father in his spare time, and I have never been enlightened by the teacher. What about my sisters?"

Before Zhen Yu could answer, Zhen Ming, the youngest, hurriedly said: "We used to go to school. The teacher's surname is Jia, and his name is Yucun. It's a pity that Baoyu forced him to quit the school. I haven't found my husband yet, so I just read books by myself." Woolen cloth."

Then Zhen Yu laughed and scolded: "It's good for you to be more intimate when you see the Xue family sister, but you shouldn't say anything about Baoyu, lest the old lady find out and get scolded again."

Zhen Ming made a face for his sister and stopped talking.Then Zhen Cheng said coldly: "Since Baoyu caused trouble, why don't people talk about it. If he hadn't messed around in the school, daddy would beat him to death several times and he wouldn't change it. The old lady doted on him the most. , instead of teaching Baoyu a lesson, he insulted Mr. for being too harsh, and he was so angry that he quit the library, and we have no books to read. Who is he to blame?"

Zhen Yu also had nothing to do with the two younger sisters, so she could only smile and say to Baochai: "Young sister of Xue's family laughed, my family has a younger brother named Baoyu, who is loved by my grandmother the most. He is very stubborn on weekdays. I hate reading, so I had to make trouble among our sisters. Fortunately, I went to the temple to burn incense and reward the gods early this morning. My sister saw him, so ignore him."

After hearing this, Baochai realized that besides Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber, there was also Baoyu from the Zhen family in Jinling City.It is said that the two have exactly the same appearance and temperament, just like looking in a mirror.

Baochai hurriedly laughed and said, "My mother and I are leaving home after dinner, and I don't think we'll see your young master. Don't worry, sister, I won't dare to provoke him."

Then Zhen Ming took out a gold Nine Links to explain, and had some tea and fruit with Baochai, the friendship between children was very easy to establish, and the two became very close after a while.

Just talking and laughing, the maidservant came to invite her to dinner.The other wives were having dinner outside, and Baochai was a child, so Mrs. Zhen asked her to eat with the three sisters of the Zhen family.

Zhen Ming pulled Baochai to sit with her, Baochai washed her hands under the service of the maid, and tied a scarf on her chest.While reassuring myself that this is a napkin with western etiquette, it is definitely not because of the drool pocket she is wearing because she is young!

On the table are famous Jinling dishes such as stewed chicken with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, squid eel paste, cabbage in white sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, whitebait from Taihu Lake, as well as squirrel mandarin fish and green snail shrimp that Baochai likes to eat.The serving maid was very clever, seeing that Baochai was staring at the bowl of vegetables, she put them into a small bowl of pink baby play for her.

Even though he was a guest at another house, Baochai also ate very delicious food. Looking at the Miss Zhen's family around her, their mouths seemed to be tied with thread, and they all ate less than cats, and of course even less than her.I very much doubt whether they are eating too much snacks before meals.

After dinner, fragrant tea was brought. Zhen Ming took Baochai and made fun of his brother Baoyu's various embarrassing things.Speaking of Zhen Baoyu's lawlessness, he likes to use the word "daughter" the most, saying that his daughter is extremely noble and pure, even more honorable than Amitabha and Yuanshi Tianzun!

When Baochai heard this, she almost spouted tea!Just as he was about to rub his stomach behind someone's back, he heard a boy laughing and said, "The third younger sister made fun of me behind my back again."

Baochai looked up, and saw a young man walking in, wearing a purple gold crown with gold tassels and spreading wings on his head, with two dragons grabbing gold and wiping his forehead with Qi eyebrows, wearing a two-color gold and a round-neck gold inlaid circle The sixtieth garment is covered with an azurite kaosi tunic gown, and there are small green satin powder-soled court boots.The face is like the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, and the color is like the flowers of spring dawn.The temples are cut like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the face is like peach petals, and the eyes are like autumn waves.On the neck is a gold Chi Yingluo, and there is a five-color silk sash tied with a piece of beautiful jade.

Baochai was secretly funny, this one was much better than the little abalone from Xinhonglou, and much more handsome than Ouyang Fenqiang, but it was a pity that she didn't like this kind of classical handsome guy.

Zhen Baoyu stared at her for a long while but smiled and said, "I've seen this younger sister before!"

The author has something to say: I put it in the archives before going out, but I didn’t expect that Jinjiang smoked it and didn’t publish it. Let’s merge the two chapters into one chapter and post them together.

By chance, Yin Baochai resigned from Zhen's family

When Baochai heard that Zhen Baoyu uttered Jia Baoyu's classic lines when he met Sister Lin, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed.Just when he didn't know whether to talk to him or not, he heard Zhen Cheng sneer and said: "Every sister and sister who looks good in this world, you haven't seen that one?"

Zhen Kai was waiting to make some more sarcasm about his younger brother, but when he saw a group of maids and women coming in surrounded by his grandmother, he had to stop talking and gave Zhen Baoyu a sidelong glance.

When Mrs. Zhen saw her grandson coming back, she immediately smiled and asked him about going to the temple to burn incense and so on.After asking, Fang smiled and said, "This is the granddaughter of Mr. Xue, Ziwei Sheren of Jinling. Have you seen the ceremony?"

Then Zhen Baoyu hurriedly got up to see the ceremony, and there was an adult by his side, Baochai was not clear about not wanting to get up, so he blessed him and returned the ceremony.

Taijun Zhen was still leaning on a red sandalwood soft couch, covered with a big wolf fur mattress, two maids knelt on the kang, one pinched his shoulders and the other beat his legs.Seeing two children, one saluted and the other asked to let go.The child acted like an adult, and said with a smile: "You two have tea and talk with your sisters, I am also happy to see it."

Then Zhen Baoyu asked the maid to move a chair and sit down beside Baochai.Looking at Baochai carefully, he asked with a smile, "Has my sister ever studied?"

A crow flew across Baochai's forehead. Is this another matter?I'm not sister Lin.Seeing that everyone present was looking at her, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and answer: "I never went to school, I only learned a few words from my father."

Then Zhen Baoyu didn't care, and asked, "What's your sister's honorable name?"

Before Baochai could speak, Zhen Ming took her by the hand and said with a smile: "Sister Xue's name is Baochai, and the word Bao is the same as that of elder brother Baoyu. Chai is Jinchai's hairpin."

That Zhen Baoyu frowned and said: "What gold hairpins, gold and silver objects are the most vulgar, and they are suitable for a pure and clean daughter's house."

Because he lowered his head to think about it for a while, he clapped his hands and laughed again: "Han Xun's "Xiang Liao Ji" contains a poem about expressing hatred: "Qin hairpin cut off long strips of jade in vain, and Shu paper leaves small characters in red." For those who wear red, how about I give my sister a small character and call her Hong'er?"

When Baochai heard this, she didn't know whether to be angry or funny. This Hong'er was the name of a maid, who do you think you are!

Then Zhen Yan sneered again and said: "Sir, you ran away in anger, and now you bring up the book again. If it's so far-fetched, the younger sister of the Xue family will not accept your favor."

Zhen Baoyu was not angry either, but still smiled and said: "Which one of the ancient and modern literati who write articles is not far-fetched? It just depends on who writes well and writes well."

He smiled and said to Baochai, "Sister, if you don't speak, I will call you Hong'er in the future."

Baochai was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Jade is lust. Jade is obstinate and turbid. Stone. If Brother Zhen wants to call out his name and make fun of me, I will call you Shitou in return."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and after thinking for a while, they all burst out laughing, only Zhen Baoyu was stunned for a moment when he saw such a beautiful younger sister, who actually refuted him bluntly.

That Mrs. Zhen sat up laughing so much that she hugged Zhen Baoyu for a long time before she said with a smile: "Now you know that there are people. The sisters and sisters in the family let you talk nonsense, but there is one who dares to refute you." of?"

Zhen Baoyu was in his grandmother's arms, acting coquettishly like candy, begging his grandmother to let Xue's younger sister accompany her.
