The Guardian Jade of a Dream of Red Mansions

Here Daiyu and Qiushui finished their meal and wandered in the garden.When I arrived at Yihong Courtyard, Daiyu said, "Sister, I was going to ask about Baoyu's Xue family brother today, but suddenly my uncle came to look for me, so I stopped asking." Qiushui shook his head and said, "It's okay, anyway, according to Liuyue's description It should be that Xue Pan is right, so let’s forget it. If you ask more questions, I’m afraid it won’t look good.” Daiyu said with a smile: “Sister, don’t be afraid, Baoyu is not such a person who chews his tongue. Hearing Liuyue’s words, I feel that the Xue family My brother is not well, and if I don’t ask carefully, I’m always worried.” Qiu Shui patted Daiyu’s hand and said, “We’re all here now, so go and ask.” Qiu Shui knocked on the door, but no one was inside. Whoever answered the door was very angry, and only said that they were all asleep and would not open.Daiyu replied loudly: "It's me, why don't you open it?" The girl responded: "Whoever it is, Second Master Bao won't open it." Qiu Shui frowned and said angrily: "Which girl is it, okay?" No rules." Then he knocked on the door again.Daiyu held her back and said, "Forget it, sister. Baoyu's girls have always been like this. What's the point of us going in like this? If Baoyu doesn't see me today, is it possible that they will disappear in the future? Go back first, and wait until we see Baoyu tomorrow." Let's make a theory." But before Daiyu finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter inside, it was Baoyu and Baochai.At this time, Daiyu was really angry, took Qiushui's hand and left, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became.Qiu Shui grabbed her and said, "It's my fault, don't be sad." Daiyu cried on her shoulder, and Qiu Shui patted her to comfort her.

Back in the first hall, Daiyu was still sad.Qiu Shui sent Qu Lan and the others to go down, and came out with the Buddhist scriptures he copied on a daily basis, and said, "Since we can't sleep, let's trace the Buddhist scriptures. I just want to embroider one too." Daiyu knew that Qiu Shui was If you want to divert your attention, just say yes.The two of them copied Buddhist scriptures together until the second watch.The next day I couldn't get up, Daiyu still remembered that Qiushui held her down and said, "Go to sleep for a while, now they are all playing in the garden for a while, and they won't think of us." Daiyu leaned against Qiushui and closed her eyes again eyeballed.Later, Baoyu and others came to find Daiyu to play, and Qu Lan said that the girl was not in good health and was resting.The crowd was not easy to disturb, so they dispersed after asking a few words.It was already too late when they got up, so Qiushui and Daiyu went for a stroll according to the occasion and came back.Daiyu was interested in copying Buddhist scriptures, and she would often copy them later if she felt unhappy.Qiu Shui was also relieved to see her. Daiyu's love poems are not bad, but it is unlucky to write such sad and sad sentences at a young age.Qiu Shui was copying Daiyu's usual poems at this time, feeling uneasy.

After a few more days, Liu Yue came up and said to Qiu Shui privately: "Miss Bao is back, there is no sound and I'm afraid she will lose the election." Qiu Shui has been busy these few days, and she didn't react to what she said.Liu Yue didn't know what to say when she saw her like this, so she stayed by her side.It took Qiu Shui a while to say something, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future.Liu Yue's complexion turned pale.Seeing Qiushui and Liuyue whispering, Daiyu stepped forward and asked, "Sister is asking Liuyue what? Could it be brother Xue? I see Liuyue's embarrassment, don't you know?" Qiushui shook his head and said: "It's not his business. It's Sister Xue's business." Daiyu said strangely: "Didn't Sister Bao go home? Could it be..." Daiyu didn't continue, looking at Qiushui, seeing Qiushui shaking her head before continuing Said: "I don't know how is sister Bao?" After a while, Daiyu said: "I came to see my sister for something. Now Xueyan has come back to serve her. I don't know how is Zijuan?" Qiushui He didn't answer, but looked at Liuyue.Liuyue replied: "Sister Zijuan was still crying before, but she calmed down later. The girl can ask." Daiyu said: "Then call Zijuan up, and I will ask." Liuyue said Go down and bring Zicuckoo up.Qiu Shui said: "I can't hold her anymore, the old lady is afraid to ask. She always answers the old lady's words." Daiyu also nodded and asked: "Sister, do you want to go together?" Qiu Shui shook his head, Clapping her hand, he left first.

Daiyu went to the back room and sat down to drink tea. After a while, Zijuan came up.Liuyue bowed down to Daiyu, closed the door and retreated by herself.Seeing that Zijuan looked haggard, Daiyu also said distressedly: "Are you okay? I don't look well. Are you sick or is the punishment too heavy?" Zijuan cried and knelt down and said "The mother didn't punish me, she just asked me to do some embroidery in the house. Girl, I know I was wrong." That Zijuan has served Daiyu for a long time, and Daiyu is also soft-hearted when she sees her like this now. Said: "Since you know you are wrong, then stay by my side from now on." Zijuan kowtowed after hearing this, and then replied: "Thank you, miss. I was thinking about it earlier, thinking that the old lady must be for the girl. Okay, so I acted according to her will. But I figured it out a few days ago. The old lady may be doing it for the girl's benefit, but I have to think more. Since the old lady gave me to the girl, then I will I want to follow the girl. I will only be good if the girl is good, and I will only have the girl in my heart from now on." Daiyu's eyes were also red, and she helped her up and said, "I know, my sister and I are not suspicious of employing people. People don't need it. You have shown your heart, so it will be the same as before." After that, Zijuan was still Daiyu's big maid, in charge of the clothes and accessories of all the people in the hall.Qu Lan, Luo Er and the others also became better towards Zi Juan.The autumn water is still faint, but the azalea is calm.

The next day was Xue Pan's birthday, and he had already sent someone to invite him.Because of some bad health, Baoyu went there lazily.The old lady took all the sisters from Daguanyuan with great interest, and this time they were all complete, even Daiyu and Qiushui followed.Mother Jia smiled and said it was very true, she should go away while she was young.When Baoyu found out, everyone got into the carriage.When they arrived at Xue's house, they first strolled around the garden with Jia Mu before taking a seat.Xue Pan went out to socialize for a while before going to Jia Mu to say hello.Daiyu was a little nervous, so she held Qiushui's hand tightly, fearing that Qiushui would be the same as that day again.Qiu Shui just looked at Xue Pan carefully, then turned around and smiled at Daiyu to comfort her.Xue Pan met Jia Mu and the two wives of King Xing, and then came to see a few sisters.He is also polite, even though he is polite, he does not step forward and does not raise his head to look up.When Jia Mu saw it, she smiled and said that they were all relatives of her own family.At this time, the play had already started on the stage, Xue Pan held up the play book and asked Jia Mu to order a play, Jia Mu refused and ordered a Journey to the West.Here Aunt Xue, Baochai and Sister Feng are making fun of it.Jia's mother said: "My wife, you have taken good care of this house. It's better to listen to the opera across the water." Aunt Xue laughed and said: "The old lady understands. I don't understand these things very well. , These are all made by Pan Er. The old lady is well-informed, so it’s hard for you to look up to us." Jia Mu waved her hand and said: "My aunt is very polite. You are also very lucky, my brother is so capable. It’s almost ten It’s eight, you’ll be waiting to have a grandson when you get married.” Sister Feng interjected, “The old lady remembers right, it’s her 20th birthday. I don’t know when my aunt will invite us to drink?” Aunt Xue also laughed, He replied: "I also want to make a decision early, but he said that he didn't want to be so early. We can't force him. If the old lady and sister have any candidates, you can tell me. He will think about it when he can't guarantee it." Jia's mother liked this kind of thing the most and said with a smile: "Then the second daughter-in-law looks at it more, Pan'er is also good. Then I will come to ask for wine and drink." Everyone laughed while talking, and so did Xue Pan. by the side.

Qiu Shui sat for a while, and seeing the noise on the stage was still so noisy, she felt a little annoyed, so she whispered to Daiyu, "I'm very bored, let's go for a walk." Luoer ordered: "My sister and I go out for a walk." At the same time, he went out with Qiushui.At this time, it was a little hot outside, Qiushui fanned Daiyu and said, "Why bother, wait carefully for heat stroke." At the same time, he called Zijuan and Qulan to fan.Daiyu smiled and said in a low voice: "I can't let it go, I'm afraid I will meet Brother Xue later." Qiushui nodded Daiyu's forehead, and the two walked along the corridor talking and laughing.After a while, Xue Pan really came over.Daiyu was a little nervous at once, Qiu Shui patted Daiyu's hand, and greeted Xue Pan generously.Daiyu did the same.Xue Pan smiled and said, "I thought the banquet was too boring, so I wanted to go out for a walk. Is it the same for the two younger sisters?" Qiu Shui nodded.Xue Pan smiled and made a gesture of invitation and said, "The water lilies in my pond are blooming, let's go for a walk together." Qiushui looked at Daiyu, and Daiyu said, "I'm with my sister." The people were led by Xue Pan to go inside.Daiyu saw that there were nuns and maids standing in the corridor, so she felt relieved and looked at the scenery at ease.Xue Pan and Qiu Shui didn't talk too much, they just walked quietly along the way, occasionally stopping when they encountered something nice.When they arrived at the water lily pond, they saw fruit cakes and tea sets on the table, and there were maids and mothers standing beside them.Xue Pan ordered them to make tea, and asked, "Are other places prepared in the same way?" The girl on the side replied, "Don't neglect the master's order. If the girl and wife come out to play, they are all ready." After hearing this, Xue Pan asked Qiu Shui and others to sit down, and at the same time told them to go back and stand.Qiu Shui smiled and smelled the tea.Xue Pan asked, "How is it?" Qiu Shui nodded with a smile.Xue Pan smiled and said, "It took me a lot of work." Qiu Shui knew that Xue Pan was waiting for her to praise, so he said, "Ninth brother is looking for a good one." Xue Pan sat down and took a sip of tea.Qiushui and Daiyu sat there admiring the lotus. Most of the water lilies are in bud, only a few are in bloom.Xue Pan looked at it for a while and then asked: "Are you satisfied with the dishes on the table? I specially invited the master to cook the soup." Qiu Shui nodded and smiled: "When you talk about the soup, I feel a little craving The hawthorn is here." Xue Pan smiled smugly and said, "I've prepared everything, and it's probably time for dinner now. What else do you want to eat?" Qiu Shui turned around and asked Daiyu, "Is there anything Xiaoyu wants to eat? " Seeing that Qiushui and Xue Pan get along like friends who have known each other for more than ten years, Daiyu also sees that Xue Pan has taken care of everything, so she let go now and said with a smile: "I want to eat steamed stuffed buns and duck soup .” Xue Pan ordered the cook to do it and send it to the girls and wives later.Xue Pan turned back to Qiu Shui and said, "Fortunately, I thought you had stayed in Yangzhou for a few years, so I specially asked someone to invite a cook from Yangzhou to come over." Qiu Shui said helplessly, "Why do I think you are the same as Brother Ten. "Xue Pan wanted to refute at first, but thinking that Daiyu was present, he couldn't say much, so he ate the fruit on his own.Daiyu just laughed when she saw it, thinking that brother Xue was like this, and it was not at all different from what the servants said.Xue Pan, Qiu Shui and others sat there for a while, and Zijuan came up and said that it was time for the old lady to look for her because she was afraid of leaving the table for a long time.Xue Pan had no choice but to get up and send Qiushui and the others back.

When she came back, Mother Jia asked about it. Xue Pan said that he had gone outside to sober up and saw Qiushui and Daiyu, so he took them for a stroll.Mother Jia was relieved when she saw that there were people following her, and praised Xue Pan again.It wasn't until late at night that everyone planned to go back.Xue Pan prepared some snacks and water lilies and sent them over.Aunt Xue said: "It's some gadgets prepared by Pan'er. It's just a taste. Don't dislike me, old lady." Mother Jia didn't refuse and let them accept it with a smile.Sister Feng jokingly said: "Next time my aunt will call me again. There is something to eat and something to take." Everyone laughed.Daiyu and Qiushui went back to the □□ restaurant and opened the food box to see that Qiushui's were some candied fruit and so on, but Daiyu's were some Yangzhou dim sum and soup.Qiushui is fine, but Daiyu's eyes are red.Qiushui put his arms around Daiyu and said, "Next time, scold him well, you see that the snacks made you cry." Daiyu wiped her tears and said with a smile: "My sister is sweet in her heart, what do you want these fruits for?" " Qiu Shui smiled generously, as if what you can do.Daiyu came up to tickle her itch, Qiushui hurriedly grabbed her hand and begged for mercy: "Don't make trouble, I won't talk anymore." Daiyu smiled and said in a low voice: "I won't punish you either, next time I will ask brother Xue to come back again." Just send you some candied fruit to make you happy." Qiu Shui was ashamed and covered Daiyu's mouth.Xueyan and Luo'er asked Qu Lan and Zijuan, "I've never seen a girl so happy before. What's the matter? Sister, tell me quickly." Qu Lan and Zijuan also laughed. Although they didn't know, they felt It's a good thing, so I don't want to say much, so I had to tell: "It's so late, don't wait for the girl to wash up." Send them off.At night when Daiyu and Qiushui were lying on the bed, Daiyu asked, "When did my sister meet Brother Xue? I can't figure it out." Qiushui closed his eyes and replied, "Do you still remember the dream I told you about?" He was in that dream." Daiyu raised her hand and looked at Qiushui and said, "Then your story is even more legendary than those scripts on stage." Qiushui smiled and hugged her and stopped talking.

Here, Xue Pan is also in a good mood after sending the guests back to the house.Seeing that Aunt Xue and Baochai were still sitting in the hall, she went up to ask about it.Baochai lost the election, so she is not in a good mood, and today is another day of smiling faces, and Aunt Xue is comforting her.Xue Pan thought for a while and stepped forward to persuade: "Sister, don't think too much, you have tried your best. I didn't want you to go because I was afraid that you would suffer in the palace. It's fine if you don't enter now. Be more with me." Mother and sisters get along with each other. You and I will not make you suffer." Baochai also felt warm when he heard Xue Pan's words, and nodded with a smile.Xue Pan said again: "You don't have to rush back to Jia's mansion now. You live at home now. Just ask someone to do what you want to eat and play, and evacuate." Aunt Xue said the same thing, and persuaded Baochai again. I will tell her to go and rest for a while.
