Love the Red House

On the next day, Baoyu got up early in the morning, thinking about the newcomer Zicuckoo, so he looked at Xiren who came into the room to serve him, and asked, "How is Zicuckoo?"

Hearing this, Xiren couldn't help but feel very sad, but he didn't show it on his face, but replied with a smile: "Very well, because I thought she just came here, I have already asked Qiu Wen to take care of her, second master, don't worry gone."

Baoyu was relieved now, thought for a while, and then babbled and said: "Zicuckoo is sister Lin's maid. She must not be used to us when she first came here. Let her rest for a few days before coming up to serve. If you are free, Also go to Zijuan to have a look, and tell the little maids below, don't let Zijuan be wronged."

After hearing these words, Xiren held back his anger, agreed, took the clothes, and waited for Baoyu to dress neatly, and ordered someone to deliver breakfast before going back to his room to wash up.

Baoyu had a meal in a hurry, and because he was thinking about Daiyu, he straightened his clothes, got up quietly, went straight out of Yihong Courtyard, and rushed to Xiaoxiang Hall in a hurry.

Entering the room, I saw that Daiyu had gotten up, was sitting under the green screen window, eating red dates and bird's nest with a small silver spoon, her makeup was light, but she was full of energy, her face was like peach blossoms with dew, and she was beautiful. Brilliant.

Baoyu looked at it with a smile, and said softly: "My sister looks good today, she looks much better than before."

Because all her thoughts have turned into running water, Daiyu couldn't help being very unhappy seeing Baoyu still coming here to pester her at this moment, but she had to put down the silver spoon, and said with a faint smile, "Second brother came too early."

When I spoke, there was a gloomy feeling in my heart, the days of living under the fence, I was so uncomfortable, even if I was reluctant in my heart, I couldn't say it, but I still greeted him with a smile.

Sigh, when will such helpless and sad days come to an end?

Just as he was sighing, Baoyu's laughter came from his ear: "I was out all day yesterday. I didn't come to see my sister. I came here earlier today." Sit down on the nearby chair.

Daiyu came back to her senses, stood up immediately, took two steps back, and didn't answer. Seeing this, Baoyu couldn't help but feel a little bored, and frowned: "It's just sitting closer. Why is my sister so ostentatious?"

Daiyu raised her lips slightly, her face was calm, like a pool of clear water under the quiet autumn sun, she said in a low voice: "Men and women are different, I would rather have sex than give people a reason to talk. Second brother, how many people are there in this house on weekdays?" You know the gossip and gossip, so at least you should pay attention to it, and stop letting people judge me."

Baoyu was startled, looked up at Daiyu, was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Sister's words, I will write them down, and I will pay attention to them in the future."

Daiyu knew that what he said was nice, but it was just perfunctory, so she only had a faint smile on her lips, and didn't answer.

Baoyu didn't know what she was thinking, but he didn't speak anymore. He just looked at her beautiful face, dazed, and didn't know what Xixi was.

Seeing his expression, Daiyu felt annoyed in her heart, when she was about to speak, she heard a woman's coquettish voice slowly: "Sister Lin, I'm here to see you."

Before he finished speaking, the person had already leaned in, wearing a newly made rouge brocade skirt embroidered with peonies, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, elegant and luxurious, no doubt it was Xue Baochai.Behind her, followed by a maid in Tsing Yi, with lowered eyebrows and a respectful expression, it was Ying'er.

Daiyu frowned, and felt even more displeased, these people always came without invitation and messed up her life, it's really abhorrent.

Thinking in her heart, Daiyu raised her eyebrows, and said calmly: "Every time the second elder brother comes over, sister Bao will arrive on her hind legs. There is no such coincidence in storytelling. I am a little puzzled, I don't know that sister Bao is here to see me , or came to look for the second brother?"

Hearing that Xue Baochai's face did not change, she still had a smile on her face, and said calmly: "Of course I came to visit my sister. As for meeting Brother Bao, it's just a coincidence."

Glancing at Daiyu, the smile on her face was flawless, and the words seemed to come out casually: "I heard that sister Lin sent Zijuan to Yihong Courtyard, but I don't know why?"

Daiyu knew that she came here today, except to see Baoyu, and it was mostly for this matter, so she smiled coldly, and there was a little sarcasm in her clear voice: "it was a whim yesterday, so I sent Zijuan there. I didn't expect that although Sister Bao moved out of the garden, she was so well-informed. It's really amazing. People who know it say that my sister has great powers, and I figured it out by myself. Those who don't know think that my sister's eyes are Just staring at the second brother."

After hearing these words, Baochai's face was involuntarily flushed and white, showing a bit of embarrassment and displeasure, and it took a long time to recover, shaking her head and saying: "I haven't seen you for two days, my sister's mouth is even worse. , I really don’t know what to say.”

Turning to look at Baoyu, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of his lips, and his words were concerned: "I heard that brother Bao went out yesterday, where did he go?"

The corners of Baoyu's lips raised slightly, and he immediately replied: "Yesterday, I had nothing to do, so I went to the Beijing Prince's Mansion. I talked with Prince Bei, sipped tea, and enjoyed the flowers and scenery. I felt very comfortable."

Having said that, she suddenly turned her head to look at Daiyu, and then said, "Come on, my sister doesn't know the name of the Prince of the North, right? On that day, the Lord of the North gave me a string of rosary beads as a gift, and I want to give it to my sister." , Unexpectedly, my sister threw it and didn't take it, I wonder if my sister still remembers?"

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little impatient, and snorted, "So what if you remember? So what if you don't remember? On weekdays, you only know how to think about these irrelevant things, it really makes people speechless. "

She was so indifferent with such a cold attitude and lazy words, but Baochai was full of interest, her phoenix eyes sparkled lightly, and she said with a smile: "Prince Bei? I heard that today is his cousin. His status is already very high. What is rare is that he himself is young and talented, and he is well-known in the capital, and he is known as the 'young sage king'."

Daiyu is a woman with an exquisite mind. I know that although there is a saying of "good luck" in this mansion, but with Xue Baochai's temperament and the nature of a businessman who is good at planning, how can this woman be willing to be mediocre?

If there was a mansion more prominent than Jia's and a man better than Baoyu, how could she miss it?Thinking about it, she would definitely pursue it desperately in order to gain wealth and glory, get a prominent name, and become a superior person.

But at this moment, seeing Baochai's expression, Daiyu thought for a while, and realized that Baochai had already developed aspirations for the Northern Prince's Mansion, and she couldn't help being very disgusted in her heart.

She was always outspoken, but because she was annoyed by these two people, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said meaningfully: "My sister is a boudoir girl, and my sister is stable and dignified in the capital of Hefu, why do you know who is the young virtuous king so clearly now? Come to think of it, my sister not only pays attention to the affairs of this mansion, but also the affairs of the capital, it is really hard work for those who are able."

Hearing Daiyu's sharp words, Xue Baochai didn't care, she still smiled on her lips, and said nonchalantly: "Where did I inquire? Sister Lin also knows that our family is an imperial merchant, and we often communicate with these dignitaries. , and naturally know something.”

His eyes were like waves, passing over Daiyu's body, and falling on Baoyu's face, the smile on his lips became more and more beautiful and soft: "Okay, stop gossiping, Brother Bao, I heard that the Prince of the North is not only high and powerful, There is also talent and appearance, literary and military skills, which are actually very outstanding, since brother Bao often goes to the Northern Palace, I would like to ask, do you know if these rumors are true?"

Baoyu is a person who loves the fragrance and cherishes the jade. Seeing her so earnest, he was happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course it is true, but this rumor is too vulgar. How can these few words describe the kindness of the Northern Prince?" I think my sister doesn’t know, although this Prince of the North inherited the world’s position when he was young, he is the most elegant person, he is not bound by economic worldliness, and he doesn’t have any vulgar air, and he looks handsome and clear, really He is really a person like a banished fairy. Every time I see him, I will be overwhelmed by his demeanor and conversation, and I often sigh that I am too difficult to reach in this life."

When Xue Baochai heard this, she couldn't help praising her, and said with a smile: "In this way, this King of Beijing Jing is really one in a thousand. I don't know how old he is this year, has he married a princess?"

Baoyu thought she was curious for a while, so he smiled and told everything he knew: "Speaking of which, he just won the crown this year. As for marrying the princess, a person like him, who comes to propose marriage, naturally doesn't care about it." However, Prince Bei has never agreed, so he dragged it down. When Prince Bei was chatting with me, he occasionally mentioned this matter. Prince Bei often said that he was not looking for a princess, but I want to find a beautiful woman like water, a wife, regardless of family status, rich or poor, as long as they like each other, I hope I can hold the hand of my son and grow old together."

After hearing these words, Daiyu couldn't help being startled, holding her son's hand, and growing old together with him. In the boudoir, she often read "The Book of Songs" and was shocked by this sentence. In the vast sea of ​​poems, there are the most beautiful and purest love words in this world.

However, as she got older, she gradually saw the world. In such an era where men are superior to women, men of slightly prominent backgrounds all want three wives and four concubines, and take it for granted. When you marry a wife, do you accept the attacker first?

Therefore, she gradually became discouraged, and often felt that these eight characters were just a long poem, a beautiful love sentence, but she never thought that in the real world, there would be a man who had the same relationship with her. The same obsession.

Although they have never met each other before, the man who can say these words must be a gentleman who is dedicated to emotion and gentle as jade, right?

At this moment, Baoyu's words splashed into Daiyu's heart, causing ripples in circles. For a moment, Daiyu opened her lips and sighed softly, her heart turned sour, she had nothing to say.
