Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

After getting up early in the morning to greet Mrs. Wang's birthday, seeing that Mrs. Wang was busy arranging gifts and banquets in various mansions, she went to Jiamu's room with sister Sanchun.

When Jia Mu saw them coming together, she said with a smile, "You sisters are here to make trouble for me, my old lady."

Tan Chun stepped forward and said with a smile: "We don't dare to make trouble with the old lady, we just came to say hello to the old lady."

Jia Mu laughed out loud at once and said, "You can just coax me, an old woman. Forget it, today's breakfast is here for me. Use it with me." The sisters responded with a smile.

Looking at Daiyu's slightly red and swollen eyes, Mother Jia was stunned, pulled Daiyu by her side, and said, "What's wrong with Yu'er? But you didn't sleep well last night?"

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, stroked her slightly red and swollen eyes, and said, "What's the matter? It's just that I didn't sleep well at night, and I woke up earlier today."

Just after breakfast, I saw that Baoyu came in in a brand-new dress. Seeing that the sisters were all there, I became more and more happy, and said, "Greetings to the ancestors."

Jia Mu cheerfully pulled Baoyu up and said, "It's a good day for your mother. If you are not here to accompany me, why do you have time to come here?"

Baoyu said with a smile: "There is a chain in the front yard, the second elder brother and his wife are taking care of it. I don't need anything from me. Isn't it because I am thinking about my ancestors?"

As he spoke, he looked at Daiyu sitting beside Jiamu, and also sitting beside Jiamu. Looking at Daiyu, he said, "I haven't seen my sister for a while. I heard that my sister is not well. Today she is all right." ?”

Daiyu glanced at him and said, "I've always been like this. Sometimes I'm bad and sometimes I'm good. Brother Lao, don't worry."

Baoyu nodded in agreement, and said, "That's all. Brother Xue took the prescription I made with him earlier, and it seems to have been made into a pill. I was thinking about buying it for my sister to take." .”

Mother Jia looked at Baoyu in surprise, and said, "What kind of pills are you getting? Isn't the ginseng Yangrong pill that your sister eats on weekdays pretty good?"

Baoyu shook his finger, and said: "The pills I mentioned can guarantee my sister's illness will be cured." After thinking about the formula, he said: "The first child is Ziheche, humanoid with leaf ginseng, 360 taels of tortoise, big Polygonum multiflorum, The root of the thousand-year-old tuckahoe is the gallbladder, and the medicine primer is the pearl on the hairpin."

Tanchun squinted at him in disbelief, and said, "I'm afraid that this is fabricated by you, second brother again. Sister Lin has always been weak, but she was brought out of the womb. So many imperial doctors said to take care of it slowly. When I come to you, I can take some pills and medicines to cure my illness."

Seeing that the Tanchun sisters didn't believe it, Baoyu became more anxious and said, "I'm telling the truth. Sister Bao also said the day before yesterday that that pill is really a magic medicine. You should know her Lengxiang pill, Xue Big Brother’s words will not be groundless.”

When Daiyu heard this, she wondered, why did the Xue family want to mix this pill?But the first few items are already worth thousands of gold, wouldn't it be too wasteful to spend a lot of effort to make them?

Baoyu just looked at Daiyu and said, "Let's put this matter on hold for the time being. Let the old lady testify. In the future, I will ration my younger sister. This will cure the root cause of her disease and settle one of my concerns."

Daiyu listened to him without any scruples, her eyes were a little cold immediately, and she said: "Daiyu has accepted the kindness of the second elder brother, and dare not trouble the second elder brother to do anything." She glanced at him coldly, and said: "My It's none of your business, don't mention this kind of words in the future."

Jia's mother looked at Baoyu and Daiyu, then took their hands and said, "You don't have to be upset, Yu'er. It can be seen that Baoyu has put his heart into it. Forget it, if your body can eradicate the root of the disease, grandma will also It solved a heart disease. If you stay with grandma for a long time, grandma will be able to rest in peace in the future."

Daiyu listened but didn't answer, and Daiyu was frowning with a trace of displeasure, not only because of the hidden meaning in Jiamu's words, but also because of the fact that Baoyu's formula made people feel numb. A sense of horror rose in my heart.

Seeing that Daiyu was silent, Mother Jia sighed softly. In the past two years, Daiyu has grown up, she can see things more openly, and the distance between Baoyu and Baoyu is getting farther and farther. The mother and daughter are now very anxious. A woman who is over eighteen years old and still not engaged has been criticized for a long time.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother sneered. During the wedding ceremony the year before last, she had already said that Baoyu was destined not to marry early. Now that Daiyu has passed the age of Ji, and Baoyu has grown up, it is time to find out what Concubine Yuan means. Yes, these two years of ambiguity made Mother Jia very anxious, thinking that the second daughter-in-law must have the same thoughts.

"Old lady, the lady ordered the servants to invite some girls to the front hall." The voice of Zhou Rui's family came from outside the curtain.

Jia's mother said: "Why did you let the sisters go? The front hall is full of Mrs. Ming and the like. The sisters are born with thin skins. They will break the rules. You go back to the wife, how many of the sisters Eat with me."

This Mrs. Wang has become more and more unruly. Now that the sisters are getting older, they can't keep coming to propose marriage. It's really out of style for them to scrutinize them.

Besides, Mother Jia looked at Daiyu's refined appearance. With Daiyu's appearance, I'm afraid those wives will be moved when they see her. It's better to guarantee that just in case, Zhou Rui's family listened, and went obediently, and went back on her own. Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was a little unhappy when she heard that, and she also understood what Jiamu meant. Although she secretly regretted it, she couldn't disobey it, so she had to swallow her anger secretly.

He raised his eyes and saw that Baochai was dealing with these imperial wives in a decent manner, and felt more and more that Baochai handled things properly, and it was the fate of a headed mother, so he became more and more convinced of Baochai as a daughter-in-law.

Some time ago, Aunt Xue had hinted that she was going to marry Baochai, so how could she not be anxious?Because of the control of Jiamu in the mansion, she was determined to be Daiyu, and the two sides could not hold her back, and the delay has been delayed until today.

Now that Baochai is too old, if there is no engagement ceremony, if it is ridiculed, or if Aunt Xue promises it to others, wouldn't that fulfill the wishes of Lin Daiyu and Jia Mu?The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she felt, thinking about how to make Concubine Yuan fix her mind.

Seeing Baochai's dealings among the people, there is a servant below, whispering, "I often hear that this Jia's mansion is the most courteous and well-regulated mansion. Seeing that this girl is not out of the cabinet, why is she taking care of it here?" Accompanying drinks everywhere. "

"As the saying goes, you are the most ignorant, don't you know? This girl is not from Jia's house, but a lady from the merchant Xue's family. Now that she is over [-] years old, she has no engagement and lives with a young lady. You think about it." , and you should know what it means."

The man smiled secretly when he heard this, and said, "This has become the young lady in the play." Seeing that Baochai greeted him with a clever smile, he fell silent, raised his glass and drank the wine, his eyes widened. There was a trace of disdain and contempt mixed in it.

Sitting aside with cold eyes, Sister Feng looked at Baochai's easy-going smile, and her face became paler and paler. It turned out that she was competitive on weekdays, but she was only in the position of making wedding dresses for others. As the two were whispering, a cold smile flashed across Sister Feng's mouth, and the coldness penetrated into the depths of her eyes.

That Baochai hadn't heard of it, she didn't understand these rules, all she saw was the prosperity of every place, congratulations and greetings everywhere, dazzled her eyes, she just wanted to hold the Fugui entered the bag, secretly thinking in his heart that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang should exert some more pressure.
