Dream Continues Red Mansion: Melting Daixin

Jia Mu ordered someone to make medicinal porridge and send it to each room, and called her grandchildren to have fun, so Baoyu and Zhu Fang gathered in Jia Mu's room to talk some gossip. Whether Baochai is engaged or not, he sighs that none of his grandchildren is worthy of Baochai.

Baochai couldn't help being embarrassed, the surface of the silver basin was hot, and she bowed her head in silence.

Jia's mother said again: "Your mother just doesn't want you to marry, and I can't bear to have such a good child. I don't know who is so lucky to marry you!" There was a look of envy on her face.

Baochai blushed for a while and said, "Old lady, you are joking."

Seeing that Baochai looked uncomfortable, Daiyu moved away lightly and said with a smile: "Sister Bao should marry later, otherwise our poetry club will have many good poems."

Baoqin smiled sweetly, and said brightly like the sun: "I want my sister to love me for a few more days."

Baochai's complexion has calmed down. Seeing the two of them, especially the youngest daughter's mentality, she is still thinking about the poems of the past. The words, she said seriously: "Qin'er, Mao'er, Yun'er, you are not too young, you can't just know about it all day long. For those who recite poems and recite Fu, it is important to know that the needlework family’s plan for female celebrities is the main business of the daughter’s family. We used to be young, and we were all playful. Now that we are older, when we get together in the future, we should communicate more about female celebrities and learn from them. The skills of housekeepers, as well as the decorations on your body, are all rich and idle makeup, which are of no great use. If you can save them on weekdays, you can save them. You can just choose a few expensive ones and wear them on occasions when you need them. "

When the words fell, everyone in the room except Daiyu and Jia Mu couldn't help but lower their heads to look at the ornaments under their necks. Baoyu was hung with a long-life lock and a talisman, and there was another piece of jade that was picked up when the grass fell. , Baochai is a glittering and golden necklace, Xiangyun is a golden unicorn with brilliant literature, and Baoqin and Tanchun sisters are also golden necklaces, shining in the candlelight, very dazzling.

Daiyu didn't care, she covered her mouth with a plain white silk handkerchief and said with a smile: "I just say one sentence, which attracts ten sentences from Sister Bao. When I talk about the truth, I am really afraid of you." Miao eyes blinked at Baochai .

Jia Mu said with a smile: "Bao girl's words don't make sense. According to your words, isn't my old woman guilty of teaching them badly? It is right to be frugal, and it must be appropriate. Enjoy when you should enjoy it."

A light flashed in Baochai's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Old lady, you are very lucky. Where do we have your blessings? Naturally, we should enjoy them endlessly."

Xichun said indifferently: "We are all dressed up for wealth and honor, and we can't go to any important occasions. We shouldn't be wearing them. I don't know what is that heavy thing under Sister Bao's item?"

Baochai couldn't help laughing and said: "Tell me about this. This is not an ordinary ornament. It was originally the wish of parents for their children. They have been worn since birth. Wearing it can ward off disasters and evil spirits, and "lock" life. The meaning of fate and wealth is to make it auspicious. And my gold lock is chiseled with auspicious words given by others, and Brother Bao’s jade lock also has auspicious words. Not everyone can wear such things.”

When Baoyu heard this, he turned his eyes to Daiyu, but saw that Daiyu's face changed but she didn't speak, but smiled indifferently.

Jia's mother nodded and pondered: "What Bao girl said is true, those things can't be worn by ordinary people. Thinking about the pomp of Lin girl and her mother, she was always hugged everywhere she went, and her mother gave it to her when she got married. The front part of the dowry was carried out of the city, and the rear part hadn't left the Rong Mansion, not to mention the grandeur of the Lin Mansion. Her mother's longevity lock, which was worn in different styles every day, was also given by the late emperor. It's a pity they left early, where did all those things go?"

Daiyu's eyes turned red, she turned her face away, and swallowed her tears.

It was dark at the right time, and the sisters took their leave and came out.Walking in the corridor, Baoyu followed Daiyu, carefully tugging at her sleeves, falling behind others, and said in a low voice, "Sister Lin, don't be sad, tomorrow I will ask the young prince of Beijing to find some rare clothes." Ornaments for you to wear, what I have, I don’t lack for you.”

Daiyu patted his hand away lightly and said: "I don't care about it, I'm not a long-lived person, and I don't have rich parents to put a longevity lock on me, so what's the use of wearing someone else's lock?" There was a bright mist again.

Baoyu felt sad and said, "My dear sister, why don't you take the string of beads and coir raincoat first."

Daiyu sneered and said, "The precious things in your mouth can't be put in my eyes either."

But I heard Tanchun greet me: "Second brother, sister Lin, follow up quickly."

Daiyu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, answered the call, and quickened her pace, and Baoyu also walked a few steps to follow.

It turned out that Tanchun pulled Xiangyun and was about to send Baochai out of the garden.

Baochai laughed and said, "I'm used to walking. Even though I moved out, it's not far away. There's only one door. I think it's closer than when I lived in Hengwuyuan. Let me see you off." "

Xiang Yun saw that the sky had turned into a dark scene, and said impatiently: "Isn't it, what is there to give you?"

Daiyu came up and said with a smile: "We are all on the same road. Sister Bao arrived first, and we entered the garden. Why don't we go together? What are you doing here?"

Baochai glanced at Baoyu from the corner of her eye, and thought to herself, "Xue's mansion is just separated from Yihong Courtyard by a wall, which is far, middle and near. I'm afraid that others don't know about the things in Yihong Courtyard, but I will know it first. "

Baoyu was brushing an autumn leaf off Daiyu's clothes. Baochai felt a little unhappy and felt sour, and then she thought in relief: Sister Lin has no relatives and is weak. If she can marry Baoyu, Baoyu is considerate and considerate. ok.Then he sighed: "Sister Lin, sister Lin, do you know that I gave Brother Bao to you? If I want to marry into Jia's family, my aunt and my mother, and the fate of our golden marriage, the marriage between Brother Bao and I It must be accomplished.Sister Lin, you have to remember that I gave up first and made you and Brother Bao complete. I hope you can understand my intentions as soon as possible, and you can live with Brother Bao for a long time in the future, so that you can live up to my good intentions.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved, so he turned his head and joked with Tanchun.

It was dark, and although the red lanterns were shining brightly along the way, the heights and lows of the feet were just unclear.Baoyu watched the road carefully, reminding Zhongyan to be careful of her feet. Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped on a small stone, and she staggered and almost fell down.Tanchun exclaimed, and quickly stretched out his hand to help him. Lin Daiyu said, "Amitabha, you also watch your feet carefully."

Baochai walked in front, shoulder to shoulder with Baoyu, heard Daiyu's voice, turned around and looked at Daiyu with a smile on her almond eyes, then turned her head and worshiped to the sky, saying in her mouth: "The merciful and compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva , I beg you to remember the fate of the frowner while you are busy, I, Xue Baochai, will definitely burn incense and worship more." Then he burst out laughing, and Baochai was just laughing, her dignified expression still undiminished.

Tanchun was puzzled and asked, "Sister Bao, what are you doing?"

Baochai said with a smile: "Look, the Bodhisattva is busy, and many things are going well. Now it is her marriage that is going to take care of her."

Lin Daiyu's face turned pale, she stood up and said, "Sister Bao, I sincerely recognize you as my sister, but you keep teasing me, am I letting you joke around as you please? Just now my grandmother talked about your life-long event, You still feel uncomfortable, and now you are making fun of me again. If I say that about you, what should you do? Don't you care about your reputation? "

Xue Baochai has always been used to this kind of jokes with Daiyu. In the past, Daiyu just walked away angrily. She didn't expect Daiyu to refute her today.Baochai hurried over and put her arms around Daiyu's thin shoulders and said, "My dear sister, I just said it casually. My mother and I love you the most, and we sisters are inseparable from each other. Don't miss me."

Seeing her like this, Daiyu no longer cares about it, and calms down her expression.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief, only Xiangyun and Xichun watched coldly.

At the door, Baochai and Zhongyan bid farewell one by one, holding Daiyu's hand and said sincerely: "My dear sister, take care of yourself. Although I don't come here often, I still miss you at home. If you need it, please tell my sister." , no matter how difficult it is, my sister will do it for you."

Turning around and pulling Xiangyun up again, he said, "Sister Yun, why are you angry with me?"

But he knew in his heart that Xiangyun had blamed her for avoiding suspicion and leaving the house, and he didn't even say hello beforehand, and he didn't care about her whereabouts.However, she felt that Xiangyun was unreasonable. If a person does not stand under a dangerous wall, who doesn't plan for himself?Under that kind of situation, she can only protect herself from being implicated and from being questioned by others, how can she take care of her?

Xiangyun said coldly: "How dare I be angry with you, I dare not get too close to you, Sister Bao, lest when something happens again, you only care about protecting yourself and leave me aside."

Baochai knew that Xiangyun's heart was cold, and it seemed that the coldness in her heart was still slowly melting away, so she let go of her hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Yun girl, you and I are both guests here, so we should be self-restraining and respectful, knowing and acting prudently." , don’t look at injustice, don’t listen to inappropriate things, don’t disturb my aunt’s house, and avoid things.”

Xiang Yun gave her a blank look and turned his head to ignore her.

Baochai still said: "Yun'er, there is a saying that my sister wants to teach you. You must know the principle of seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck. This is virtuous wisdom."

Xiang Yun said bitterly: "You can just stick to your wisdom and reason and live in peace, I can't accompany you."

Daiyu pulled Xiangyun and said, "Sister Yun, you have always been magnanimous, when will you start to care about it?"

Xiangyun took Daiyu's arm and said to Daiyu with a smile on his face, "Sister Lin still knows about me."

Baochai smiled, shook her head and turned around.

Everyone watched Baochai go through the mansion, then turned back, entered the garden, and walked away separately.Tanchun naturally returns to Qiu Shuangzhai, and Xichun returns to the lotus root and Champs Pavilion.

Baoyu insisted on sending Daiyu and Xiangyun back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion before he was willing to go back.Outside the courtyard gate, Baoyu enjoined: "It's getting late, I know my sister won't let me in, so I'll send it here. It's getting cold, my sister wants to add more layers of quilt at night, and sister Yun don't kick the quilt at night." , I caught a cold from the cold at night, and it won’t get better for a few days.”

Daiyu smiled slightly, and Xiangyun laughed and pushed him away: "I see, I'm really nagging, if I kick the quilt, I'll freeze your sister Lin. You go, don't be naughty, I don't mind, Sister Lin has been standing for a long time, Even if you are not sick, you have to stand out, and I will blame you."

Baoyu nodded and said, took the lamp from Sheyue's hand, and let them enter the door according to the light.

Daiyu said: "You'd better go first, we won't enter until you leave."

He took the glazed lamp from Zijuan's hand, stretched it out to Baoyu, and said, "If one lamp is not on, let's carry this one too."

Then Baoyu gave up, took the glazed lamp, carried it by herself, turned around step by step, and walked back to Yihong Courtyard.
