Dai Yuxin says

Baochai was wearing a red satin embroidered skirt and jacket, a peacock feather cloak, three delicate gold hairpins with beads on each side of her hair, a red peony flower made of red palace yarn on the back of her head, and a trembling hairpin above her forehead. There is a slightly red gold peacock headdress, with a thin gold chain hanging below a big ruby ​​between the eyebrows.Ying'er came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with one step and three shakes.

The gate of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was closed, and Yinger knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.He murmured: "I don't piss and soak in water to take photos. I really think I am the master." Baochai laughed and said, "You little hoof, where did you learn such a village dialect? If you knock harder, you can't Is Chengdu deaf?"

Zijuan and snow geese are packing up the things Daiyu brought from the south, ready to quietly transport them to Yuyuan when the opportunity arises.

Suddenly hearing a knock on the door outside the courtyard, the two of them didn't want to be seen as confused.Xueyan came out to open the door, but Yinger saw that she was late.He reprimanded: "You only came to open the door at this time, could it be that you are doing something shameful behind closed doors?"

Xueyan glared at her and said angrily, "Don't think of others like you."

"What is Sister Lin doing?" Baochai pushed Xueyan away, stepped across the threshold, and asked with a smile.Without waiting for Xueyan to reply, she walked into the house in a hurry.Seeing that Daiyu is wearing a homely bun, with a jade hairpin on her right side, and two small pink jade hibiscus on her left side.His eyebrows are picturesque, his complexion is ruddy, and his slender body is wrapped in a light green brocade robe that fits him, making him look very lazy and comfortable.Looking at Daiyu, Baochai's heart, which came to boast to Daiyu, suddenly became half cold.

"Sister Bao, you are a noble person, what's the point of coming to the humble house?" Daiyu's voice was soft and sweet, and Baochai heard it very ear-piercing.

She blinked her watery almond eyes, her black eyes rolled quickly, and she grinned dryly and said, "Can't you come and see my sister if you have nothing to do?"

"Sister Bao is a busy person in the Jia family, so why come here when she has nothing to do?" Daiyu stood there, neither giving up her seat nor pushing anyone away.He just looked at Baochai with a smile and said slowly.

Baochai sat on the chair that Daiyu used to sit very confidantly, and smiled at Zijuan: "You girl is really getting more and more unruly, why don't you bring me your girl's good tea."

Zijuan replied with a smile: "If the rough tea here is too hot for Second Grandma Bao's delicate voice, who can afford it? I dare not."

Baochai stared blankly at Zijuan, never expecting that this girl, who is always docile and careful in everything, could say such suffocating words.

Sitting in the seat of Bao's second grandma for a while, she is like the stars holding the moon, being flattered by others, enjoying the pleasure brought by power.Unexpectedly, being ridiculed by Zijuan like this, his anger went straight to his chest.I want to follow my temper and give this ignorant girl a severe lesson.However, the time is not yet ripe.The belly said: "Little bitch, let's record this account for now, and I will guarantee that your master and servant will feel better when the time comes."

So, he put on an amiable smile and said: "Shibie will treat each other with admiration for three days. I didn't expect Zijuan to learn to be sharp-tongued."

Daiyu sneered and said, "For those of us who are helpless, powerless and powerful, if we don't speak loudly, we won't be bullied to death."

"Look at your sharp mouth, it's really annoying, and you can't laugh. I came today to trouble you with something. The old lady said that the lantern riddles for the Lantern Festival should be made interesting. Everyone thinks that this matter is none other than you. I asked for this errand, and stopped by to visit my sister, to express my missing." Baochai spoke with emotion, fixed her eyes on Daiyu, and couldn't help flashing a sly look.

Daiyu picked up Li Yishan's collection of poems on the table, flipping through them calmly.

"Sister Lin, it's settled. I'll send someone to pick it up on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. There are still a few days left, so take your time and don't rush." ​​Baochai stood up and spoke briskly, as if giving Daiyu Great favor.

Daiyu closed the book in her hand, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this matter. The imperial doctor said that my body is just right, and I can't be tired, let alone use my brain. The talent of the second sister-in-law Bao, that is Everyone knows it. If you get it casually, it is a shocking work, so why should I make a fool of myself?"

Baochai sneered and said: "This is just the old lady's idea. I just came here to pass on a message. It's up to you whether you do it or not. I think it's better for my sister to refuse. After all, my sister lives in our Jia's mansion, and everyone is prosperous."

Daiyu turned around, holding the collection of poems in both hands, flipping through them casually, neither looking at her nor speaking.

Sitting bored, Baochai walked out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion angrily, and walked back slowly with Ying'er, feeling like boiling water in her heart, it was hard to swallow.

Ying'er felt Baochai's hand tremble slightly, and knew that she was very angry.Catering: "The people in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion are really shameless."

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu watched Xueyan vigorously rubbing the chair that Baochai had just made, without saying a word, looking at her and smiling.

"Girl, what did I do wrong? You can see that my heart is trembling." Zijuan said, put down the tray in her hand, and poured tea for Daiyu.

"Zicuckoo, I didn't expect such a gentle and gentle person like you to say such things." Daiyu took a sip of tea and said something noncommittal.

Zijuan laughed and said, "Look at her flamboyant appearance, I can't wait to wear a gold-threaded jade dress, but I can't look down on that villain's proud face."

"Sister Zijuan doesn't like how well she is dressed? Or is she jealous because she is the second grandmother of Bao?" After Xueyan finished speaking, she covered her mouth and ran to the outer room with a sneer.

Zijuan's pretty face was flushed, and she cursed at Xueyan: "What a blind thing! I'm jealous of her? You're so ridiculous. No matter how well she dresses, it's not as good as our girls who don't dress up. She looks good when she marries Baoyu What's good? Look at the people here, they are all like black-eyed chickens, wishing that you eat me and I eat you all day long. Our girls are pure and kind people like fairies, how can we be with those people. "

"Bah! The more you two talk, the less sensible you are. Why are you talking about me?" Daiyu deliberately pretended to be angry.It made Zijuan Xueyan keep apologizing.

Originally, Daiyu hadn't thought of making lantern riddles, but after Baochai said so, she wanted to do it.She took out colored paper and asked Xueyan to cut the paper, and Zijuan to grind the ink. She wrote more than 20 lantern riddles in one go.Zicuckoo watched with admiration.Distressed to persuade: "Girl, take a break and write again, there are still a few days before the Lantern Festival."

Daiyu smiled and said: "I have nothing to do, write more and take it to Yuyuan to hang."

Xueyan looked at the lantern riddles, smiled and said to Zijuan: "In the past, I heard from Baoyu that the streets were very lively on the night of the Lantern Festival. It was crowded with people. Even the emperor brought his concubine out to watch the lanterns and guess riddles, and had fun with the people. We When we were in the south, the master often took the girl out to play. We have been here for several years, and we girls have only been to Jia’s family temple once with the old lady. Their men can go wherever they want, but they want us women to open the door. What do you think our girls are not better than men? How can Jia’s phoenix egg Baoyu compare to our girls? This world is really unfair.”

Zijuan sighed: "If women are allowed to take part in the scientific examination, we girls will definitely be admitted to the first prize."

"Hey, what's so good about being the number one scholar? I don't want to be the number one scholar and become an official. At the beginning, if my father didn't become an official, it would be a good idea to live with my mother in the rivers and lakes." Daiyu put down the brush in her hand, rubbed her little hands and said: "It's true that I haven't written a handbook for three days, and I only write this little, and my wrists and necks are sore."

In the evening, Zijuan closed the door, sat beside the smoked cage with her needlework, and chatted with Daiyu to digest food.Xueyan sorted out the gold and silver threads in her hands, and said to herself: "White plum blossoms are paired with gold thread stamens, and red plum blossoms are paired with silver thread stamens to make them stand out."

"You don't need to be so busy, wearing old clothes casually. Tomorrow, you two should tidy up your things. If you can take them away, let Ah Shan take them out first, so as not to be in a hurry when you leave, and lose everything." Daiyu squeezed one. Wumei took a small bite and said casually.

Zijuan said with a smile: "Ah Shan has almost taken away the unnecessary things. There are only some commonly used things left. Making clothes for girls is a very enjoyable thing, and seeing girls wearing new clothes is even more blissful." In the past, I wanted to make more clothes for the girl, but I didn’t have the conditions. Now it’s all right, Xueyan and I have the good fortune to make so many good clothes for the girl, so don’t stop us.”

"This year is the last Lantern Festival for the third girl in Jia's house. In order to make the third girl work harder for Jia's house in the future, they may let the girl and the third girl go out to watch lanterns and guess riddles together." Xueyan looked up at Daiyu pretending to be clever. , chattering and analyzing.

"I heard that there are many people who go to watch the lanterns every year. Dragons and snakes mix together, and accidents are the most likely to happen. We must protect the girl." Zijuan said very worriedly, as if everything had been decided.

Daiyu looked at the worried faces of the two of them calmly, and said with a smile: "How do you know it's a blessing in disguise?"

The gossip that the three master and servant sat in the room casually uttered word by word into Ah Shan's ears on the ridge of the roof.

He secretly vowed: In the days to come, the little fairy must be free, happy and carefree.
