But one afternoon, the Yihong courtyard was very quiet.

It was already late spring at this time, looking up, the few plantains in the courtyard and the Xifu crabapple tree had already competed to dress up, the pink and delicate and green were facing each other far away, it was really beautiful.

Baoyu is taking a nap in the room, and the big girl Xiren and Qiuwen are sitting on the couch outside, both holding embroidery work in their hands, chatting quietly there.

It sounded like Qiuwen's thin voice: "Sister Xiren, why is our second master always sighing recently, as if he has something on his mind. I don't know why when I go to ask the second master on weekdays. If this continues, if you don’t worry about your health, don’t let the superiors know who arranged us? Why don’t you go back to your wife when you have time, and see what can be done, or invite a doctor to take a look?”

"Little hooves! Who would use you for anything? The second master is a little uncomfortable. You don't say that you are helping to find ways to amuse the master, but instead hide yourself first and leave yourself clean. It's hard for you The second master loves you so much on weekdays!" Xiren put down the needle and thread in his hand, whispered in his mouth, stretched out two slender fingers, and gestured to nod Qiu Wen's forehead.

Qiu Wen also laughed softly: "Sister, don't bully me, who doesn't know that my sister is the second master's heart, what are we little fish and shrimp?" As for the work, he wanted to pinch Qiuwen's face, but Qiuwen hid behind her with a smile and shook her mouth.

He heard a little girl call outside the door: "Sister Xiren is in there?" He continued articulately: "Second Master just fell asleep, who is talking loudly there? Are you brave enough?"

The little girl outside hastily lowered her voice and said, "Is it sister Qiuwen? Fu'er in the master's room is waiting for the sisters to reply outside the gate of the courtyard."

Qiu Wen wanted to answer, but saw someone coming up from behind, and opened the door a little, only to see that it was a third-class girl doing chores in the courtyard.Xiren whispered to Qiuwen behind him: "You are here to watch the second master order people, I will go over and have a look." After finishing speaking, he went with Taro without waiting for Qiuwen to agree.

Qiuwen looked at the back of Xiren going away, a trace of sarcasm appeared on her pretty face, and she thought: If you dare, you really took yourself as your master, seriously, even the people in the house have not yet passed through the road!With a twist of the corner of his mouth, he turned around and sat down on the couch, picked up the needle and thread but put it down quickly, turned his head and listened to the room, "Hu-hu-" Baoyu snored softly, as if she was still asleep Only then did Qiuwen pick up the needle and sip it at the sideburns, lowered her head and began to work with confidence.

Besides, Xiren followed Tao'er to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing Fu'er, the servant of the second master Jia Zheng, standing there, seeing Xiren coming out, Fu'er came forward with a smile and said, "Sister Xiren good!"

Xiren also returned the gift with a smile: "What orders does the master have? It's all about finding someone to talk to, why did you get sent here?"

Fu'er laughed and said: "Master told Second Master Bao to go to the room right away. He said that the King of Beijing Jing asked Second Master to go to the palace to talk about something! Master asked Second Master to go to the room first, and I have to tell Second Master personally if I have something to say." .”

The attacker didn't answer, but turned around and smiled at Yu'er who was standing beside him, "Sister, go to work, I'm here!" Yu'er laughed quickly: "Yes, the birds in the yard haven't been fed yet. Well, then I'll go." Then he turned around and walked into the yard.

The attacker here laughed again and said: "Since the second master Bao was shocked last year and was taught by the master, the old lady ordered that in the future, if the master has anything to do with the second master, first send someone to send a message to the old lady." , then let the old lady tell the second master in the room. No, let the second master go to the master's room alone today, if there is another mistake, you and I can't afford it!"

Fu'er hurriedly laughed and said, "Where did my sister think? This time it was really the Prince of Beijing who sent someone to invite the Second Master, but the Master just wanted to tell the Second Master a few words for nothing. It's really nothing. Don't worry, sister, I will follow the second master every step of the way, if there is anything wrong, how about I send someone to inform my sister?"

Xi Renzhu also smiled and said, "What are you here to tell me? Seriously, let someone tell the old lady first. Today I just passed on the old lady's words to you. You don't know the relationship between our master and the second master." ? It's just that the master is a little stricter on the face, but he also loves the second master in his heart!"

Fu'er laughed and said: "Who said it wasn't! Sister, call the second master out quickly, and make the master angry if you go back late?"

"That's not it! Then wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." Saying this, Xiren hurriedly went back to the house to wake up Baoyu with Qiuwen, fearing that Baoyu would be taught by Jia Zheng, so Xiren condemned Sheyue again. I went to Jia's mother's room and told it, so I felt at ease.

But it is said that Baoyu has been staying away from him recently because Daiyu has always been a little far away from him. Today, he went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to ask for good words, but Daiyu said, "Second elder brother didn't offend me, and I'm not unhappy, but I'm a little bit sick. It's just sleepiness, second elder brother doesn't have to blame himself every now and then, he comes to me every day to make amends." After saying that, he wasn't as suffocated as before, but sat on the sidelines and read a book calmly, thinking that the second master of treasure Cooling aside, it really made Baoyu so troubled that he didn't know what to do.

After sitting for a while, Daiyu issued the order to evict guests. Although Zijuan was there to comfort her, she had no choice but to go back to Yihong Courtyard in a depressed mood, and fell on the bed. Ren, Qiuwen wakes up.

Baoyu said impatiently, "I just fell asleep. Why are you bothering me again?" When someone came to call, I was startled, got up and went to the ground quickly, and asked the attacker to get the big clothes quickly, and said in the mouth: "Put it on for me quickly, the master will teach me a lesson again when it is late."

The attacker on the side hurriedly said to Qiu Wen on the side: "You are the one who sips and drinks like this." Seeing Baoyu's nervous look, Qiu Wen opened his mouth and closed it again, choked for breath.

Xiren smiled at Baoyu again and said, "Second Master, don't be afraid. It's Fu'er from Master's place who passed on the word that the King of Beijing invited Second Master to come to the palace to talk. It's just that Master is afraid that Second Master's speech will be inappropriate. How can you be so frightened?" As he spoke, he and Baoyu kept getting the bright red clothes they had gone out to meet the guests.

Baoyu heard that it was King Shui Rong of Beijing who wanted to see him, so he waved his hand to the attacker and said, "Go and get my Confucian white overcoat. Princess Beijing died not long ago, so it would not be very respectful to wear red." Xiren thought for a while and said, "Didn't the second master go out and come back last year and say that the king's concubine has gone, isn't it the concubine of the prince of Beijing Jing? Why is there another concubine gone?"

Baoyu sighed and said: "How many other concubines are there? Isn't it just Princess Beijing? I think the prince lost his confidante all of a sudden, and he didn't know how to get here for more than half a year, alas!" He stomped his feet and said, "You Go get that white robe and wear it with me."

Just as Qiuwen was about to say something, Xiren pulled her clothes, shook her head, and pouted inside, Qiuwen pouted and went to the closet to get a white dress, Xiren took it Come over, get dressed with Baoyu, regardless of whether Baoyu can listen to it at this time, forcefully order a few more words, send Baoyu to the gate of the garden, and watch Baoyu and Fu'er walk out of the garden.

In the main room in the front yard, Jia Zheng sat at the kang table, flipping through a book in his hand, while Tanchun's mother, Aunt Zhao, stood beside him.Mrs. Wang was not in the room. She thought she went to Jiamu's place to settle the province after lunch break.

Just outside the door, Fu'er replied in a low voice: "Master, Second Master Bao is here."

Jia Zheng heard that he took his eyes off the book, looked out, and saw his son Baoyu, who was not up to date, standing outside the door.

Baoyu in front of him is dressed in Confucian white clothes, with an ivory white ribbon on his head, which makes his hair black and peachy, and his appearance is really rare in the world.Jia Zheng couldn't help sighing in his heart. Although he looks better than Pan An in appearance, he is very confused inside. When he thinks about Baoyu's mischief and disobedience, he can't bear to teach him, but there is an old lady Covered, it's really... oh!

Thinking of this, Jia Zheng raised his face and said, "Come in."

Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward to salute his father, then stood there, waiting for his father's instruction.

Jia Zheng saw that he was polite, so he slowed down and said, "You are not young now, you should hang out less with your sisters on weekdays, and have more contacts with educated people outside, and learn more things that will be useful for your future career. Words and deeds. We must always think of the emperor's kindness to our Jia family. Today, the prince of Beijing invites you to talk with him. You should listen to the prince's instructions and speak words that honor the ancestors of the Jia family. You must not say something childish according to your own temperament Unreasonable words will also save you from talking nonsense, and then implicating the empresses in the palace and the mansion..."

As he was talking, Jia Zheng suddenly coughed, and Aunt Zhao who was at the side rushed forward to pour a cup of tea with Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng took a sip of tea, heaved a sigh of relief, and looked at Baoyu standing below.

When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's words, he was already impatient in his heart, but he dared not disobey his father, so he nodded in Nuonuo, but his face was blank.

Seeing that he was not awake, Jia Zheng sighed and said, "Ignorant boy, how can you be like you, how can you take on Jia Nuo's big family business in the future? If you think about it, this family will be destroyed in your hands." .”

At this moment, Baoyu's mind was in chaos. Hearing his father's long speech there, he was already very annoyed.
