It is said that Baoyu was talking about rats in Lin Daiyu's room, and Baochai bumped into him, satirizing Baoyu Yuanxiao for not knowing the code of green wax, and the three of them were ridiculing and laughing at each other in the room.That Baoyu was afraid that Daiyu would be greedy for sleep after dinner, that she would save food for a while, or go sleepy at night, which is not a way to maintain her body. Fortunately, when Baochai came, everyone talked and laughed, and Lin Daiyu didn't want to sleep, so she felt relieved .Suddenly there was a yell in his room, and everyone listened to it. Lin Daiyu laughed first and said, "This is your mother and the attacker yelling."It's nothing more than attacking people, if your mother wants to show him seriously, it can be seen that she is always obsessed.

Baoyu hurried over, but Baochai hurriedly stopped her and said, "Don't quarrel with your mother, he is old and confused, let him do what he wants."Baoyu said, "I see."After finishing speaking, she came back, only to see Nanny Li leaning on a walking stick, cursing attackers in the local area: Forget about Ben's little whore!I lifted you up, now I am here, you are lying on the kang in a big way, and you don't pay attention to me when you see me.I just want to coax Baoyu with makeup, but Baoyu, who is coaxed, ignores me and listens to you.You are just a fluffy girl bought with a few taels of rotten money, you are just a waste in this house, how can you make it!How about pulling it out to match a kid, and see if you still coax Baoyu like a fairy!Xiren first said that Nanny Li was only angry because he was lying down, and that she was sweating when she said she was sick, and she covered her head. She didn't see you, old man, and so on.Later, I just listened to him talking about coaxing Baoyu, making up charmingly, and matching boys, etc. I couldn't help but feel ashamed and wronged, and couldn't help crying.

Although Baoyu heard these words, it was not good or anything. He had to tell the attackers if he was sick and take medicine, etc., and said, "If you don't believe it, just ask other girls."After hearing this, Nanny Li became more angry, and said: You only guarded that fox, where did you recognize me, who should I ask?Who doesn't help you, who didn't take down the horse from the attackers!I know all those things.I only talked with you in front of the old lady and wife.I have breastfed you so much, and now I can't eat milk anymore, so I left me aside and pretended to be strong by the girls.As he spoke, he began to cry.At that time, Daiyu Baochai and others also came over to persuade: Mom, you old man, just take care of them and it will be over for a while.Seeing that the two of them had come, Nanny Li stopped and complained about her grievances. She babbled and babbled about the tea that day, Qianxue going out, and yesterday's crispy cheese.

It happened that Sister Feng was finishing the calculation of the winnings and losses in the room, and when she heard the yelling behind her, she knew that Mother Li was old and ill, and she was rejecting Baoyu's people.Just when he lost money today, he vented his anger on others.Then he hurried over, pulled Nanny Li, and said with a smile: Good mother, don't be angry.The old lady only fell in love with it for a day during the big festival. You are an old man, and you still have to control them when others are loud; don’t you know the rules, and if you shout here, will the old lady be angry?You only say who is bad, I will beat him for you.The boiling hot pheasant at my house, come and have a drink with me.While talking, while pulling away, he called again: "Feng'er, hold the walking stick and the handkerchief to wipe your tears for your Grandma Li."Nanny Li followed Sister Feng without touching her feet, and said, "I don't want this old life anymore. There are no rules today. It's better to make a fuss and be ashamed than to be angry with that whore's hoof!"Baochai and Daiyu followed behind. Seeing Sister Feng like this, they all clapped their hands and laughed, saying, "Thanks to the gust of wind, this old woman has been taken away."

Baoyu nodded and sighed, "I don't know where the tent is, so I only choose the soft one."Yesterday, I didn't know that the girl offended her and put it on his account.At the end of the sentence, Qingwen smiled and said: "Who is not crazy, what are you doing to offend him?"If you offend him, you will have the ability to take responsibility, and you will not bring others into trouble!As Xiren cried, he pulled Baoyu and said, "You offended an old lady for me, and now you offend these people for me. It's not enough for me. It's just pulling others."Baoyu saw that he was in such a state of illness and had added these troubles, so she swallowed her anger and comforted him that he was still sweating while sleeping.Seeing that his soup was boiling hot, he guarded him and leaned beside him, advising him to just stay sick and not get angry thinking about unimportant things.Xiren sneered and said: If you want to get angry about these things, you won't be able to stand in this room for a moment.But it’s just a long time, just like this, how can people be good, I often advise you, don’t offend people for us, you just do it for us for a while, they all remember it in their hearts, when encountering difficulties, they can say it well and say no Nice to hear, what do you mean.On the one hand, he couldn't help crying, and he was afraid that Baoyu would be troubled, so he had to bear it.

The old lady who was a miscellaneous envoy for a while made two and medicine.Baoyu felt sweaty when he saw him, and refused to wake him up, so she ate with him with a pillow in her hand, and ordered the little girls to lay the kang.Attacker said: "Whether you eat or not, after all, the old lady and wife will sit in front of you for a while, and come back after playing with the girls for a while."I just lie down quietly.Baoyu heard that he had to go to the hairpin ring for him, and watched him lie down and come up to the room.After dinner with Jia's mother, Jia's mother still wanted to play cards with the old housekeepers to relieve boredom. Baoyu remembered Xiren, so she went back to her room and saw Xiren fell asleep dimly. , Qilu, Qiuwen, and Bihen were all looking for excitement, and went to play with mandarin ducks and amber. Only Sheyue was wiping dominoes under the lamp in the outer room alone.Baoyu asked with a smile, "Why don't you go against them?"Musk Moon said: No money.Baoyu said: "There are so many piles under the bed, isn't it enough for you to lose?"Musk Moon said: "It's all gone, who will leave this room to?"That one is sick again.The house is full of lamps above and fire below.Those old mothers, who have been serving for a day, should also be told to rest; the little girls have also been serving for a day, so don't ask them to be obstinate now.So let them all go, I'm here to watch.

After hearing this, Baoyu was really another attacker.Yin smiled and said, "I'm sitting here, you can go at ease."Musk Moon said: "Since you are here, you don't have to go anymore. Wouldn't it be nice for us two to talk and joke?"Baoyu laughed and said, "What are we two doing?"It's boring.Forget it, you said your head was itchy in the morning, but now it's all right, I'll comb your head for you.After hearing this, Musk Moon said: That's it.As he said, he brought the stationery and mirror case, removed the hairpin and chain, and opened his hair. Baoyu took the grate and combed it for him one by one.After only grating three or five times, Qingwen hurried in to withdraw money.As soon as he saw the two of them, he sneered and said: Oh, I haven't eaten the cup yet, it's poured over!Baoyu laughed and said, "Come here, and I will grate for you too."Qingwen said: "I'm not so lucky."After saying that, he took the money, threw the curtain and went out.

Baoyu is behind Sheyue, and Sheyue faces the mirror, and the two look at each other in the mirror.Baoyu smiled into the mirror and said, "It's just him grinding his teeth in the whole room."When Musk Moon heard about it, she hurriedly waved her hand to the mirror.Baoyu understands.Suddenly there was a sound of the curtain, and Qingwen ran in again and asked: Why did I grind my teeth?We have to talk about it.Musk Moon said with a smile: "You go to yours, I'm here to ask someone again."Qingwen smiled and said, "You are protecting again."I know all about you tricksters.I'll talk when I get my book back.Said, went out all the way.Here Baoyu turned his head, and ordered Sheyue to wait on him to sleep quietly, not to disturb the attackers.There was nothing to say all night.

When he woke up the next morning, Xiren had already sweated at night, and felt lighter, so he only ate some rice soup to rest.Baoyu was relieved, because after dinner, he came to Aunt Xue's side to hang out.At that time, in the first month of the lunar year, there was a school year in the school, and needles were taboo in the boudoir, but it was all free time. Jia Huan also came over to play Go, and met Baochai, Xiangling, and Yinger playing Go. Also be stubborn.Baochai used to see him as precious jade, and had no other intentions.Today, I heard that he was going to be stubborn, so I asked him to come up and sit down.Ten dollars per lei, the first time I won, I was very happy in my heart.After losing a few games in a row, I became a little anxious, because this game was about to roll the dice, if I rolled a seven, I would win, and if I rolled a six, Yinger would win by throwing a three.Because he picked up the dice and threw them fiercely, one made a five, and the other spun wildly.Ying'er clapped her hands and just yelled, but Jia Huan stared and yelled in confusion.Did the dice come out of nowhere?Jia Huan was in a hurry, so he reached out and grabbed the dice, and then took the money, saying it was a six.Ying'er said, "Is it clearly one?"Seeing that Jia Huan was in a hurry, Baochai looked at Ying'er and said, "The bigger you get, the more unruly you are. Do you still rely on you?"Don't put down the money yet!Ying'er was full of grievances. When she saw Baochai's words, she didn't dare to say anything, so she had to put down the money and muttered in her mouth, "a master still depends on our money, and I don't even care about it."A few days ago, I was stubborn with Bao Erye, and he didn't worry about losing those.For the rest of the money, a few little girls will grab it, and he will just smile.Baochai stopped drinking before she finished speaking.Jia Huan said, "What can I compare Baoyu to?"You are afraid of him, you all get along with him, and you all bully me, I am not raised by my wife.As he spoke, he cried.Baochai hurriedly advised him, "My good brother, don't say that, people will laugh at you."He scolded Yinger again.

Just when Baoyu came, seeing this situation, he asked what was the matter.Jia Huan dare not say anything.Baochai knew the rules of his family. All brothers were afraid of their elder brothers.But I don't know that Baoyu doesn't want people to be afraid of him.He thought: Brothers have always been taught by their parents, so why should I be so troublesome that I become unfamiliar.What's more, I'm the right one, and he's the concubine. If this is the case, people will talk about it behind his back, so he can't be ruled over.There is even more of a dull meaning in my heart.What do you mean by that?Because he grew up among his sisters, his relatives include Yuanchun and Tanchun, his uncles include Yingchun and Xichun, and among his relatives are Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others.He guessed that man was born to be the spirit of all things, and all the beauty of mountains, rivers, sun and moon are only favored by daughters, and men with eyebrows and eyebrows are just scum and scum.Because I have this in mind, I regard all men as chaotic things, dispensable.It's just that among my father's uncles and brothers, because Confucius was the first person in ancient times to say it, I can't be disrespectful, I have to listen to his words.Therefore, it is just as reasonable as possible between brothers, and they do not think of themselves as husbands, but need to set an example for their children.Therefore, Jia Huan and others were not afraid of him, but were afraid of Jia's mother, which made him three points.Now Baochai was afraid that Baoyu would teach him a lesson, which would be boring, so she hurriedly covered up for Jia Huan.Baoyu said, "Why are you crying in the first month?"It's not good here, go elsewhere.You read every day, but you become confused.For example, if this item is not good, but that item is good anyway, then discard this item and take that item.Could it be that you just hold onto this thing and cry for a while?You came here to have fun, but since you can't have fun, go elsewhere to find fun.Crying for a while, is it considered fun?It's better to go quickly if you don't want to trouble yourself.After hearing this, Jia Huan had to come back.

Seeing him like this, Aunt Zhao asked, "Where is the kicking nest again?"He didn't answer a question, and when he asked again, Jia Huan said, "Sister Tongbao is stubborn. Yinger bullies me and takes my money. Brother Baoyu kicks me out."Aunt Zhao spat: Who told you to go to the high table?Obscene and shameless thing!Can't you be stubborn there?Who told you to run away to make trouble! Just as I was talking, it happened that Sister Feng was passing by outside the window, and she heard it all in her ears, so she said through the window: "What's wrong with the first lunar month?"Brother Huan is a little kid, half wrong, you just teach him, what do you do with these plain words!Whatever he wants to do, and the wife and master are in charge of him, just spit on him!He is now the master, it's not good, there are people who teach him anyway, what has nothing to do with you!Brother Huan, come out and fight with me.Jia Huan used to be more afraid of Sister Feng than Mrs. Wang. When he heard that he was called, he hurriedly came out.Aunt Zhao didn't dare to speak up.Sister Feng said to Jia Huan, "You are also lifeless!"I often tell you: I want to eat, drink, be stubborn, and laugh, and I only love being stubborn with my sister, sister, brother, and sister-in-law.Just the same as that stubborn.If you don't listen to me, these people will teach you to be wicked and domineering.If you don't respect yourself, you want to go downhill, with bad intentions, and just blame others for being partial.How much did you lose?That's it!When Jia Huan asked, he had to reply nonuo: "I lost one or two hundred."Sister Feng said: "You're still a master because of you. If you lose one or two hundred dollars, that's it!"Turn around and call Feng'er: go and get a sling of money, the girls are all behind you, so send him there.If you continue to be so obscene and obscene tomorrow, I will beat you first and send someone to tell Xueli that I will expose you!Because of your disrespect and hatred, your brother's teeth are itchy. I didn't stop him, and he let your intestines out.Drink life: go!Jia Huan followed Feng'er non-stop, got the money, and went with Yingchun and others.No problem. Let's say that Baoyu was joking with Baochai, and suddenly someone said, "Miss Shi is here."After hearing this, Baoyu got up and left.Baochai laughed and said, "Wait, let's go together and see him."With that said, he got off the kang and came to Jia Mu with Baoyu.I saw Shi Xiangyun laughing and talking loudly. When he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly asked his friends to see him.Just as Lin Daiyu was by her side, she asked Baoyu, "Where is it?"Baoyu then said, "It's at Sister Bao's house."Daiyu sneered and said, "I said, luckily I got stuck there, otherwise I would have flown here long ago."Baoyu laughed and said, "I can only be stubborn with you, and relieve your boredom."But I went to him by chance and said this.Lin Daiyu said: "It's so boring!"Don't care about my business, I didn't ask you to relieve my boredom.Maybe you ignore me from now on!With that said, he went back to the room in a fit of anger. Baoyu hurriedly followed and asked, "Are you angry again?"Even if I was wrong, you are still sitting there after all, chatting and laughing with others for a while.I wondered again.Lin Daiyu said: "You don't care about me!"Baoyu laughed and said, "Of course I don't dare to control you. It's just that no one has watched you trample yourself."Lin Daiyu said: "I have trampled my body, and if I die, what does it have to do with you!"Baoyu said: "Why bother to come? In the first month, people are dead and alive."Lin Daiyu said: "I just want to die!"I'm going to die now!You are afraid of death, how about you live a long life?Baoyu laughed and said, "If you want to make trouble like this, am I still afraid of death?"It would be better to die clean.Daiyu hurriedly said, "That's right. If you make trouble like this, it's better to die."Baoyu said: "I said that I am clean when I die. Don't get me wrong. It depends on others."Just as he was talking, Baochai came up and said, "Sister Shi is waiting for you."Then he pushed Baoyu away.Here Daiyu became more and more depressed, and only shed tears towards the window. Without the time for two cups of tea, Baoyu still came.When Lin Daiyu saw her, she sobbed even more and couldn't stop crying.When Baoyu saw this, he knew it was hard to get back, so he folded up thousands of warm words to comfort him.Unexpectedly, before she opened her mouth, Daiyu said first, "What are you doing here again?"Anyway, there are people who are stubborn with you now, who can read, write, write, talk and laugh better than me, and are afraid that you will get angry and pull you away, so what are you doing?Life and death are up to me!After hearing this, Baoyu hurried up and said quietly: "You are such a sensible person, don't you even know that you are not close to each other, and you don't know if you don't act first?"Although I am confused, I understand these two sentences.The first thing is that we are uncles and sisters, and Sister Bao is the second aunt and sister. In terms of relatives, he is closer than you.The second thing, you come first, the two of us eat at the same table and sleep in the same bed, he just came here after growing so big, how can anyone neglect you for him?Lin Daiyu spat, "Did I tell you to neglect him?"What have I become!I am for my heart.Baoyu said: "I also do it for my heart."Don't you know your heart, but not mine?Lin Daiyu listened, bowed her head without saying a word, and said for a long time: You only blame people for their actions, and you don't know that you are disgusting.Take today's weather as a comparison, it's so cold today, why did you take off your green cloak?Baoyu laughed and said, "Why don't you wear it? When I see you annoyed, I take it off as soon as I get bored."Lin Daiyu sighed: "Come back with a cold, and you should be hungry and noisy again." The two of them were talking when they saw Xiangyun coming and said with a smile: "Second brother, sister Lin, you are stubborn together every day. I finally came here, so ignore me."Daiyu laughed and said: "It's just that I bite my tongue and love to talk. I can't even call out my second brother. I just love my brother and love my brother."Come back to play Go, it's up to you to make trouble again.Baoyu laughed and said, "You are used to learning from him, and you will bite you tomorrow."Shi Xiangyun said: "If he doesn't let people go any more, it's not good to pick people."You yourself are better than the world, and you don't make fun of each other.Point out a person, if you dare to pick him, I will subdue you.Daiyu hurriedly asked who it was.Xiangyun said: "If you dare to pick on sister Bao's shortcomings, you will be considered good."I am not as good as you, why is he not as good as you.After hearing this, Daiyu sneered and said, "Who did I think it was? It turned out to be him!"How dare I pick him.Baoyu didn't wait to finish speaking, but quickly diverted his words.Xiangyun smiled and said: I am naturally inferior to you in this life.I only wish to have a brother-in-law Lin who bites his tongue tomorrow, and you can always listen to Aie.Amitabha, that is now in my eyes!Everyone who said that laughed, Xiangyun hurriedly turned around and ran away.To know carefully, we will break it down next time.
