The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

"The weather is fine today, let me wash the girl's hair!" He Xiang heard that she was going to wash her hair, so she jumped off the rock and shouted that she also wanted to wash her hair.

Nanny Zhou poked her forehead and said: "Just get together and join in the fun, the shampoo girls in our room can't reach one, so it's your turn!"

"I just want to wash it, my scalp is itchy, and I've been getting dandruff recently, the girl loves me, just give me a small ball of your shampoo!" He Xiang twisted her ass coquettishly.

Xiuyan picked up the bottle of shampoo and took a look. It was indeed running out. Xiuyan thought of seeing a saponin tree full of saponins when passing by Muxiangxie, so she said: "There is a lot of saponins in the Muxiangxie. A saponin tree, you go and pick some, and we won’t have to worry about not having to wash our hair in the future!”

"Yeah!" He Xiangfei ran out and came to the saponins tree, and she saw a lot of saponins, so she climbed up the tree in twos and twos, picked the saponins and took her clothes into her pocket. When she was about to come down, she only heard An eager sound of knocking on the crutch came from under the tree: "Those who kill a thousand knives, don't stop!"

He Xiang stretched her head and looked under the tree, only to see a stooped old woman knocking on her crutch anxiously.

He Xiang asked innocently: "Old mother, what's wrong?"

"You come down first!" He Xiang climbed down in two or three steps, the old woman grabbed He Xiang's clothes and said, "What's the matter? I want to ask what are you doing?"

"Pick soap horns, our girl needs to wash her hair!"

"Do you think this is from your family? Pick it up if you want!"

"Why, can't you pick it?"

"Of course not. Every flower, plant, and tree in this garden, including a broken lotus leaf stalk, is useful! I kept these saponins on purpose to honor the girls. How could you pick them off without permission? , your girl doesn't have shampoo anymore, and I assigned you to steal it from my Muxiangxie!"

"Stealing or not, it's so ugly to say, I just don't want it!" So He Xiang poured the saponins on the ground in a hurry, and ran away.

The old woman jumped out of anger, "Little hoof of a scumbag, I don't believe that thunder will strike you!" The old woman squatted on the ground feeling sorry for her saponins, "It's not ripe yet, but it's been beaten by this little hoof that has been beaten a thousand times!" Pick it up!"

At this time, Baoyu came over, saw the little girl running away from here, and saw a pile of freshly picked saponins scattered on the ground here, so she asked the old woman what happened.

Seeing that it was the Second Master Bao, the old woman quickly got up and replied, "It's Miss Xing's girl who pointed her little girl to pick the saponins!"

"So what, can't it be picked?"

"Second master doesn't know, when the third girl took care of the house, she gave me the area around Muxiangxie!"

"Third sister is also really good. There are so many restrictions in such a good garden. Since she has already picked such a good thing, why don't you give it to her? It's useless to keep it, and it's not in line with your original intention!"

"Second Master taught me the lesson, I'll send it there myself!"

"You don't have to kiss, give it to me, I'll take it to them!" Baoyu wrapped the saponins, pulled some sesame leaves and walked towards Zilingzhou, which welcomes the spring.

"Did Second Master Bao come to see our second young lady?" Yingchun's girl Xiuju asked.

"What is the second sister doing?"

"The second girl is lying on the bed reading a book!"

"I'll go and see!" So Baoyu came to Yingchun's room, and saw her leaning on a big pillow with a book in her hand!

"What book is Second Sister reading?"

Seeing Baoyu coming, Yingchun put down her book and stood up: "I'm bored, just take a look, why is my second brother here!"

"I was also bored, wandering around, and came to the second sister's place if I didn't want to!" Baoyu picked up the book that Yingchun had put down, "Taishang Senseilu!" Baoyu glanced at Yingchun, "When will my sister come?" Taoism has arisen!"

Yingchun said: "Just take a look! What are you holding in your hand?"

"Gapia japonicus and sesame leaves, I heard that sister Xing lives with the second sister, so I'll stop by to see her!" So Baoyu turned around the back corner door and came to Xiuyan's residence.

I only heard Xiuyan's little girl complaining to Xiuyan about the old woman not letting her pick the saponins.Not only was Xiuyan not angry, but instead she said: "She is also dedicated to her duty, I can't blame her!"

"I was negligent, and I forgot to add this layer of rules in the garden!"

"It's all caused by the third sister. In order to save money for nodding, oil and incense candles, she actually gave all the flowers, plants and trees in this garden to those old women. Now those old women are like guarding against thieves. You can’t pick it, so it’s so boring! Girls are young, who doesn’t love those flowers, it’s common to pick one or two when you go to the garden, but let those old people take care of it, how much money can be saved in a year!” Seeing Second Master Bao coming, Xiuyan stepped forward to greet him personally.

Baoyu saw that Xiuyan's hair was loose, and she was only wearing a striped dress, which was loosely tied, revealing a corner of Lianqing's little gown. There was a lotus leaf embroidered on the gown. There is a layer of silver embroidery on the mouth, and I can't help but praise: "Sister, this dress is really beautiful!"

Xiuyan disturbed the neckline and said: "I'm about to wash my hair, Er Ye is so abrupt!"

"That's just right, I have ready-made saponins and sesame leaves here, my sister can use them!"

Xiuyan looks at Hexiang, Hexiang shrugs her shoulders and shakes her head, expressing that she doesn't know what's going on.

Nanny Zhou said: "Since the second master is so kind, the girl can just use it!" Nanny Zhou took the saponins and sesame leaves from Baoyu.

Xiuyan ordered: "Hexiang, bring out a stool for Second Lord Bao to sit on!"

He Xiang ran in and moved a stool out. Baoyu sat there, watching Xiuyan wash her hair, while looking at the yard and saying: "Although this yard is a bit small, it's quiet to live in! And this big elm tree is very nice! Cover from the wind in winter, and shade in summer!" Baoyu patted the tree trunk and said to himself.

Xiuyan sat in the sun to dry her hair after washing her hair, and didn't pay much attention to him. He was always able to entertain himself, talking about the elm tree for a while, and the rocks for a while.

Before you knew it, it was time for dinner, Xiuyan asked: "Is Second Master going to eat here at noon?"

Baoyu didn't refuse, so Xiuyan sent Hexiang to the back kitchen to spread the word that Bao Erye's meal should be sent to Miss Xing.

The kitchen staff heard that Second Master Bao was going to eat at Miss Xing's place, so he adjusted Xiuyan's meals, and Xiuyan ignored the tricks of the queen cooks, and ate her own meals as usual, except that Second Master Bao Sitting across from her, she always felt a little embarrassed, and Baoyu didn't eat much, but kept staring at her. If she didn't know him well, she would really treat him as a prodigal and a womanizer.

"Why is my sister so beautiful!" Baoyu said.

Although Xiuyan knew that he was just purely admiring her, but after all, a man said that she was good-looking in front of her, Xiuyan still blushed, she pushed her hair behind her ear and said: "Second master, don't talk nonsense, be careful Miss Lin Listen to it!"

"Miss Lin doesn't care about these things?" Baoyu said confidently.

"Where is the treasure girl!"

"My sister is getting farther and farther away, what will Sister Bao do to me!"

Xiuyan was startled when she heard this, and thought to herself, Second Lord Bao pities all the women in the world, but seems to have a hard heart for Miss Bao alone.

She glanced at Baoyu, bowed her head and stopped talking, thinking that human nature is complicated, maybe what Nanny Zhou said was not all right!
