The Fate of the Red Chamber

On the second day, Sanchun Baoyu paid his respects and had dinner in Jiamu's room.

Jiamu's upper body is probably new dark green embroidered golden auspicious patterns trimmed with light blue small balls of flowered silk with a front bodice, and underneath is a red gold satin dot pattern horse face skirt, lovingly watching her grandchildren having dinner .The two wives of King Xing, Sister Feng and Li Wan all stood underground to serve.

"The old lady is dressed so neatly today, but who's going to have a drink and a play?" Baoyu was tired of going to school every day, and only hoped that the old lady would be invited to the east's house tomorrow if there was something to do at the west's house. He pestered the old lady to take him with him.No, hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice, drank half a bowl of sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup, and asked coquettishly.

"I can't be good enough for you. But you really figured it out. It's definitely a good place to go. If you thank me well, I'll tell you." Sister Feng quickly took the steamed lamb with milk from the little girl, and put it in front of Jia Mu. , with a refreshing smile.

When Baoyu heard it, his heart moved even more. He didn't care about eating, so he stood up and rubbed Sister Feng's arm: "My dear sister, tell me quickly. Sister has never seen anything, so I don't care about my idea of ​​filial piety. If my sister likes it Just take the rouge paste from me and use it as you like."

"Baoyu's words are very true. Feng girl loves my sisters-in-law and uncles the most. I guarantee that she will not only sell you this good thing, but also send the good things to you to choose from." Jia Mu was delighted and laughed out loud.

"Come on, old lady, you feel sorry for me anyway. I dare to neglect any of our girls and young masters, and I have to make offerings like ancestors. Brother Bao, don't you talk about your sister Lin every day, old lady Don't take you to see her now. Tell me, is it worth your thanks?" Sister Feng said as she sent Baoyu to the seat and sat down, and put some pheasant and melon in his bowl.

When Baoyu heard this, he couldn't sit still, let alone eat. He took Sister Feng's hand and asked with surprise, "Sister, this is true, didn't you lie to me?"

"Baoyu, don't worry, she doesn't dare to lie to you again. After dinner, you sisters are well dressed. Let's go see your sister Lin later. She came here in the first month, and I haven't seen her for almost two months. Now, I'm thinking too hard." Mother Jia still smiled lovingly, and she couldn't tell that she was planning to steal her granddaughter's property this time.

This made even Sanchun rejoice, they were usually detained, and it was rare for them to have a chance to go out, not to mention that Lin's family had a very famous garden, and they didn't take a closer look at it when they went there in a hurry last time.Baoyu didn't need to say anything, and didn't need to eat, so he ran back to his yard after leaving a few words, and asked the maids to wrap up all the things they usually saved for Miss Lin, and take them with them.

Only Mrs. Wang became more and more dissatisfied, and she swallowed it because of the Lin family's money.

After half an hour, everything was packed.Yingchun wears an orange brocade gown embroidered with peonies, delicate and soft; Tanchun is a double-breasted skirt with rose-red gold-sprinkled satin, which is bright and beautiful; Xichun is a round-neck gown with pink flowers on a light purple background. There is elegance in the coolness.All are the same hairpin jewelry.Baoyu, as usual, is red all over.

Mother Jia watched with a smile as Sister Feng, Zhang Luo, and everyone went to Bigui Street in a car and sedan chair.

Sitting in front of the window, Daiyu teased Xiaoke and joked, when she suddenly reported that Mother Jia was bringing her sisters, her heart sank, and she felt a little unhappy. Thinking about it, maybe it was not for the money, but for changing clothes to meet the guests. go out.

This time, people from Jia's mansion entered the gate very smoothly, and Xia Cheng's family accompanied and welcomed them with a smile, and invited them to the hall for tea, but Daiyu hadn't come yet.

Mother Jia took a sip of tea casually, and it turned out to be a rare Mingqian Longjing, and began to look at the furnishings in the hall of the Lin family.This white jade screen with jasper base is considered a priceless treasure, and the longquan kiln green-glazed and brown-colored plum vase with its base is quite rare. It seems that the Lin family has a lot of money, so such things are placed casually.

Baoyu looked inside anxiously: "Why doesn't Sister Lin come here? Doesn't she know that the old lady came to see her?"

"How can we slaves ask about the princess's affairs?" Xia Cheng's family replied indifferently, and they will see our princess without a greeting card.

"Baoyu, your younger sister Lin or her subordinates are busy, so come here as soon as you want." Mother Jia was naturally a little awkward, and it was too presumptuous for Daiyu to let her own grandmother wait for her.

After she finished speaking, Nanny Han and Baihui came in with Daiyu on her left and right, and Xueyan opened the curtain herself.But I saw her wearing a brocade with cloud and geese pattern, a wide black neckline, a pair of breasts, and a long skirt. From the neckline, you can see the jade-colored bamboo leaf pattern jacket inside, the emerald jade tassel hairpin inlaid with pearls and the emerald ginkgo leaf earrings.The bright and moist place is like a lotus in the water, and the elegant place is like Lingbo Hanyu, calm and elegant, with a peerless elegance.

"Old lady, I kept you waiting for a long time." Daiyu just gave a blessing and smiled lightly.

"Sister Lin, it's good to see you. I left a lot of good things for you on your birthday. Who knew that there was something in the mansion that day, so I couldn't come to see you. Don't blame me." Baoyu was amazed. When she came back to her senses, she rushed to Daiyu in a few steps, chattering endlessly.

Daiyu turned sideways lightly, avoiding Baoyu's grasping hand. Nanny Han knew it long ago, and said with a smile, "Second Master Bao is impatient. If you have anything to say, we can't wait for our princess to sit down." , has helped Daiyu to sit on the top.

Baoyu was a little afraid of this Nanny Han, and didn't dare to do anything wrong, so she had to go back and sit down after seeing Daiyu sit down.

"Yu'er, you haven't come here for your birthday, and I haven't seen you for a long time. My old lady is thinking about it. Fortunately, the queen mother values ​​you, so I don't worry about it. Today I specially brought your favorite lotus root noodles. Cinnamon sugar cake, butterfly rolls, and two kinds of fresh fruit, would you like to try them?" While speaking, Sister Feng lifted the lids of two large multicolored boxes made of silk and gold, and brought them to Daiyu.

Daiyu frowned lightly, but it faded away in an instant, with a faint smile on her lips, she motioned for the servant girl to accept it, and then said: "The old lady was still thinking about me, so she only had a snack, and she will be hungry later. Eat. The empress dowager may be very sympathetic to my brother and I because of our loneliness. I heard that the old lady is going to pick up the mother at home, and she is building some kind of family-friendly garden. She must be very busy. The old lady should also take care Body is the only thing, how are the second sister, third sister, fourth sister, and second sister-in-law?"

"In Sister Lin's mind, I'm not as good as your second sister and the others. You didn't see me until the end. I'm sorry that I have served you for a few years." Sister Feng didn't sit down, but stood behind Jiamu to wait.Mother Jia was afraid that Mrs. Wang would do something bad, so she didn't bring her here, so Mrs. Xing was also spared.

"Look at what the second sister-in-law said, how dare I forget how you took care of me in those years. It's just that the mansion built a garden, and the second sister-in-law was in charge, and she was always capable. I knew that the second sister-in-law must be very busy without asking." Touch the ground, otherwise why haven't you come to see me for so long? With the love my second sister-in-law has for me, she must have come a long time ago." Daiyu smiled, and brushed the broken hair from her temples with her bare hands.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Okay, Yu'er said it well. This monkey doesn't want to fall behind at all, and even competes with his younger sisters, so she is not ashamed."

"Old Ancestor, once you met my sister, you couldn't tolerate me anymore, and you even helped her make fun of me." Sister Feng laughed while talking, and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes with a veil.

"Sister Lin, why don't you ask me?" Baoyu waited for a long time, but Daiyu didn't mention him a word, didn't even look at him, and felt more and more uncomfortable.

Daiyu was drinking tea, when she put down the small bowl covered with plum blossoms, she began to look at Baoyu, and smiled charmingly: "You, there are old ladies and wives who love you, and servant girls and servants who care about you. Don’t worry about anything, I’ll ask for nothing.” When Daiyu was in Jia’s mansion, Baoyu was the closest to her, and the two spent the most innocent time, so Daiyu’s impression of Baoyu is still very good Yes, not angry with him because of what happened last time.

Everyone laughed, and Tanchun clapped his hands and laughed, "It's still Sister Lin's mouth, not forgiving at all."

When Baoyu saw that everyone made fun of him, she was not angry, so she laughed. Who told Daiyu to tell the truth.
