The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

But he said that Daiyu and Baochai would also attend on the day of visiting relatives.Daiyu was surprised, so she asked: "Although Sister Yuan and I are direct cousins, we have never met, let alone made friends with each other. Why do you ask us to prepare well? Sister Bao may be waiting for the election. I can't think of it here, after all, I still have filial piety." Qiushui guessed that it was because of Baoyu's marriage, but she didn't say much, so she replied: "Probably to show affection. Anyway, it's a It’s only at night, and you know the rules, so you’ll be able to dress plainly at that time, so go with peace of mind.” Daiyu grabbed Qiushui’s hand and said, “Then why didn’t my sister go? It’s you.” Qiushui patted Daiyu’s hand and said helplessly, “Xiaoyu, don’t you really know? If I really go, I’m afraid they won’t be happy.” Daiyu leaned on Qiushui and said: With filial piety, I just don't want to go." Qiu Shui knew that her temper was coming up, and he knew it was justified, but he couldn't refuse and had to coax her.

Over there, Baochai and Aunt Xue were also busy with concubine Yuan's family visit.Seeing Xue Pan, Xue Pan said, "It's fine if I'm busy with the purchase, but my mother and sister are also so busy." Aunt Xue said, "You don't understand, it's not because of your sister's election. You went to find a way, but you refused, so you talked a lot and made Bao girl. Now that there is such a thing, it is natural to plan carefully. And your aunt also said that she wants to help, so we naturally have to take care of it. Xue Pan said disdainfully: "I just can't figure it out. Now my sister is a daughter at home. If she is really elected, she will be a slave. Why are you so eager to catch up?" Baochai said this Immediately she burst into tears, and cried: "I just want to fight, brother, why bother to say that." Then he went back to the room by himself.Aunt Xue was arrogant again, and said angrily: "How can a brother talk about his sister like that, and not go to apologize to Bao girl. Bao girl is talented and beautiful, and entering the palace may not necessarily be a slave. Now your aunt and the others Willing to help, what kind of sense is it that you, as a brother, don’t say you’re helping, but mock your sister everywhere.” While speaking, he burst into tears.Xue Pan said: "Why don't I think about my sister. Do you think that the palace is so good? Now we say that we are an imperial merchant, but it's just a good name. What can we fight for my sister. Let's talk about Jia's family, and the concubine Yuan also Didn’t you come out after so many years? I’m done talking here, you can do whatever you like.” After speaking, he ignored Aunt Xue and went out.Aunt Xue had no choice but to cheer up Baochai herself.Although Baochai felt sad, she held back her tears and said, "I'm fine. Mom, don't be angry with my brother. It's rare that my brother is so motivated now. He only manages the shop at home. Now he is not as close to us as he used to be. That's all right. Mom, don't be sad." Aunt Xue stopped crying and said, "My son, don't just tell me to be sad. If you are sick, tell me to rely on someone. Your brother is a Stupid man, I have already told him." The two of them talked about visiting relatives together, and it was a little better.

On the day of visiting relatives, Qiu Shui took care of Daiyu early in the morning, and saw that she had eaten breakfast before sending her out.Daiyu said: "Sister, go back and sleep again, I will be careful." Qiushui nodded and gave Zijuan a few words before letting them go.Qiu Shui saw that the little girls were all happy and wanted to go out to see it, so she said: "You all pay attention, go too." The little girls all dispersed happily after hearing this.Qu Lan stepped forward to support her and said, "Miss, do you want to sleep again?" Qiu Shui shook her head to signal them to go down too.She was sitting by the dressing table, listening to the noise outside, muttering to herself in a daze: "Fourth brother, are you okay?" She cried while asking.

It was late at night when Daiyu came back, and Qiushui was still waiting for her.Seeing that Daiyu was very tired and didn't talk much, he asked someone to fetch water to wash her up, and put her to bed.On the second day, both of them woke up a bit late, but luckily the old lady ordered the little girl to say that they don't have to eat together, and they should go to rest separately.Qiu Shui thought that Daiyu would have a bad appetite when she went to bed late, so she sent the little girl to the big kitchen to prepare some white porridge and some light side dishes.Qiushui filled a bowl of porridge for Daiyu, and Daiyu praised it: "It smells so good, it seems different from usual." Qiushui filled it all night and said: "It's just ordinary white porridge. But Madam Zhao I have taught you a new method, which is not boiled over fire, but buried in a pile of red-hot charcoal together with the sealed sand urn.” Daiyu likes to use more than usual.Seeing her, Qiu Shui said: "Mother Zhao also understands medicine, let her take care of the meals in the future." Daiyu nodded and said, "Don't go too far." We had a conversation together.After a while, Qiushui saw that Daiyu was still lazy, and said, "If you are still tired, go to bed and lie down first. Anyway, it's okay to eat after a while, even if you fall asleep." Daiyu nodded and went to rest for a while. do not mention.Seeing that Daiyu had fallen asleep, Qiushui went outside and ordered that she ask for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write on.

It's very quiet here, but suddenly Qu Lan said, "Second Master Bao is here, and Luo'er is talking outside." Before he finished speaking, Baoyu had already entered.Qiu Shui signaled Qu Lan to serve tea, put down a pen and said in a low voice, "It's an unlucky time for you to come back, Xiaoyu has fallen asleep." Baoyu stepped forward and said in a low voice, "I heard Luo'er said it outside, but I still don't worry about it. I'm afraid that sister Lin is tired. So I came to ask my sister." Qiushui motioned Baoyu to sit down, and said with a smile, "Xiaoyu is tired, but she is in good spirits. Please worry about me." Baoyu sat down and said with a smile, "Sister is polite. Why didn't my sister go yesterday?" Qiushui saw that Baoyu had no intention of leaving, so he took a pen and continued to write, and replied, "It's just that I'm not healthy, and I'm afraid I'll offend the nobleman." Seeing that Qiushui was calm, Baoyu went Going up to look at Qiushui's handwriting, he said, "I don't know my sister's handwriting is so good. I've never heard of Sister Lin's handwriting before." After the meeting, seeing nothing interesting, he got up and said, "Since my sister is sleeping, I'll go first. Send someone to tell me when my sister wakes up." Qiu Shui nodded and asked Qu Lan to send Baoyu away, but he still didn't say anything. carry.

After a few days, when Daiyu got better, she embroidered and talked with Qiushui.At this time, someone said that Miss Shi was coming.Daiyu and Qiushui got up and went to Jiamu's room.As soon as I entered, I heard Shi Xiangyun talking and laughing, and everyone in the room was laughing.When Daiyu saw her, she said to Qiushui, "Sister Yun is still like this." Qiushui also nodded with a smile.When Xiangyun saw Daiyu come in, he wondered, "Brother Bao didn't come with sister Lin." Daiyu replied, "He doesn't follow me all the time. Could it be that he will go wherever I go?" After hearing this, Yun could only say: "It's rare that I'm here, and he doesn't come to see me." Qiushui and Daiyu saluted the old lady before sitting down.Xiangyun stepped forward and said to Qiushui: "I heard from my ancestors that Sister Qiushui is now Sister Lin's biological sister. Congratulations to Sister Qiushui. Sister Qiushui is very lucky." Qiushui replied with a smile: "Thank you Sister Yun." Xiangyun also sat down and laughed: "At the beginning, I saw that Sister Lin treated you better than us. So there is such a fate." Qiushui replied: "It's not that the family does not enter the family. Xiaoyu and all the sisters It's all good, and it's not just for me." Daiyu said with a smile: "Sister Yun made such a big talk because the second brother didn't come to see him in time, let's see how I deal with her." Said As soon as he got up, he went to caress her itch.Xiangyun hurriedly got up to escape, and the Sanchun sisters did not help her and asked Daiyu to arrest her.Mother Jia smiled and said, "Be careful not to fall. You all go to help." Seeing them arguing, Qiu Shui drank tea without moving.But he said that Baoyu was playing with Baochai at Baochai's place, and when he heard that Miss Smith was coming, she rushed over in a hurry.As soon as he came in, he saw Xiangyun bumping into him.He hurriedly caught her with a smile and said, "What's the matter?" Seeing her, Daiyu hurriedly said, "Baoyu, catch her quickly." Xiangyun hurriedly hid behind Baoyu and said, "Brother Ai, help me block Sister Lin, Sister Lin You want to tickle my itch." Baoyu smiled when she saw it, and said, "Why did you recruit Sister Lin again?" On the one hand, he said to Daiyu, "You are better, why are you running like this again. Carefully beat the wind and get a headache." Daiyu Seeing what Baoyu said, Yu went back to his seat and sat down, asking for tea.Qiushui saw him and said, "I'm still breathing. I'll use it later." Baoyu and Xiangyun sat down next to the old lady, and Jia's mother asked, "Baoyu, why are you here so late?" Sister is playing with Yinger. She heard that Sister Yun came and rushed over immediately." When Jia Mu heard that Baochai was also in front of her, she asked, "How is Auntie? When the garden was built earlier, your family My brother has made great efforts. When I turn back, I will ask my second daughter-in-law to thank Pan'er." Baochai laughed hurriedly: "It's nothing, they are all relatives of my own family. If the old lady said that, she would be out of touch." The old lady was there While talking, Xiangyun and Baoyu were muttering something, but Daiyu and Qiushui were talking about tricks with Yingchun and the others.

They talked at Jia Mu's, and they dispersed after eating together.Xiangyun used to live with Daiyu every time he came back, but now Daiyu and Qiushui live together, and Xiangyun will be crowded when he goes there.Jia's mother said: "Then live with Ying girl, so that you sisters can get closer." Xiangyun left with Yingchun sisters without mentioning it.
