Chapter 57 The fifty-seventh round of Hui Zijuan's love test

It is said that Baoyu hurried to the front when Mrs. Wang called him. It turned out that Mrs. Wang wanted to take him to visit Mrs. Zhen.Baoyu was very happy, hurried to change clothes, and followed Mrs. Wang there.Seeing the appearance of his family, he is not very different from Rong and Ning, or one or two are slightly prosperous.If you ask carefully, there is a precious jade.Mrs. Zhen stayed at the table, but she returned after a day, and Baoyu believed it.When she came home in the evening, Mrs. Wang ordered to prepare a high-quality banquet, named it a troupe opera, and invited Mrs. Zhen's mother and daughter.In the next two days, her mother and daughter returned to their posts without saying a word.

This day, Baoyu went to see Daiyu because he saw Xiangyun gradually healed.Just when Daiyu was taking a nap, Baoyu didn't dare to disturb her, because Zijuan was doing needlework in the corridor, so she came to ask her, "How did you cough last night?"Zicuckoo said: "It's better."Baoyu laughed and said, "Amitabha Buddha!"I'd rather be fine.Zicuckoo smiled and said, "You also recited Buddha, what a news!"Baoyu laughed and said, "The so-called sickness goes to the doctor indiscriminately."While speaking, Baoyu saw her wearing a thin cotton jacket in elastic ink silk and only a green satin jacket on the outside, so Baoyu reached out to touch her and said, "You're still sitting in the wind in such a thin coat!"Spring is windy and the weather is bad. If you get sick again, it will be even more difficult.Zicuckoo said: From now on, we can only talk and don't move.Those who are one year old and two years old are disrespectful.Those bastards who were busy talking about you behind your back, you are always not paying attention, and you just behave like a child, how can you make it!Girls often tell us not to joke with you.If you look at him up close, you may not be able to catch him if you look far away.Then he got up and went into another room with his needle and thread.

When Baoyu saw such a situation, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured into his heart, and he just stared at the bamboo in a daze for a while.Because Zhu Ma was digging bamboo shoots and repairing poles, she came out in a daze, lost her mind for a while, ignorant of her mind, and sat on a rock casually in a trance, and shed tears unconsciously.I stayed for five or six meals, thinking about everything, but I didn't know what to do.Occasionally, Xueyan took ginseng from Mrs. Wang's room. After passing by, she suddenly turned her neck and saw a man on the stone under the peach blossom tree, with his hand on his cheek in a daze. It was not someone else, but Baoyu.Xueyan wondered: "It's so cold, what is he doing here alone?"In spring, everyone with a disability falls ill. How dare he suffer from dementia?While thinking, he walked over, squatted down and smiled, "What are you doing here?"When Baoyu saw Xueyan suddenly, he said, "What are you doing to find me?"Aren't you a daughter?She guarded against suspicion and forbade you to talk to me, and you came looking for me again, if someone saw you, wouldn't you be tongue-tied again?You just go home.After hearing this, Xueyan thought that he had been wronged by Daiyu again, so he had to go back to the room.

Before Daiyu woke up, she handed the ginseng to Zicuckoo.Zicuckoo asked him, "What does my wife do?"Xueyan said: "I also slept in the middle of the rest, so I waited for half a day."Sister, listen to the joke: I was sitting in the lower room talking with Sister Yuchuan'er because I was waiting for my wife, but Aunt Zhao beckoned me.I just thought I had something to say, it turned out that she and her wife took leave of absence, went out to stay with her brother for the night, and went to the funeral tomorrow, and her little girl, Xiao Jixiang, had no clothes, so she wanted to borrow my moon white satin jacket .I think they usually have two pieces, and they take them to dirty places. I'm afraid they will get dirty, and they don't want to wear their own, so they borrow someone else's.It's a trivial matter to borrow mine to get dirty, but I think, what good does she have to come to us on weekdays!So I said: My clothes and hairpin rings are all kept by a girl named Sister Zijuan.Now I have to tell him first, and I have to go back to the girl.The girl is sick again, and it takes a lot of trouble. If you miss you and go out, you might as well borrow it again.Zicuckoo smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that you are a little thing."If you don't lend it to her, you push it on me and the girl, so that people can't blame you.Will she go now, or will she wait until tomorrow morning?Xueyan said: "I'm going now, I'm afraid I'm gone now."Zijuan nodded.Xueyan said: "Miss is still awake?"Who gave Baoyu Qishou?Sitting there crying.After hearing this, Zicuckoo hurriedly asked: "Where is it?"Xueyan said: "It's under the peach blossoms behind Qinfang Pavilion."

When Zicuckoo heard about it, she hurriedly put down her needle and thread, and then told Xueyan: "Listen to me."If you ask me, promise me and come.Then he went out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, came all the way to look for Baoyu, walked up to Baoyu, and said with a smile: "I just said those two sentences for the good of everyone, so you just get angry and run away to cry in this windy place." , to scare me by being sick.Baoyu hurriedly laughed and said, "Who is angry!"I'm right because I heard you say it.I think since you say this, others will naturally say the same, and they will gradually ignore me in the future, so I feel sad about myself.Zicuckoo also sat next to him.Baoyu laughed and said, "You just walked away when you were talking to each other. Why are you sitting next to me again?"Zicuckoo said: "Have you forgotten?"A few days ago, the two of you sisters were talking, and Aunt Zhao walked in, and I heard that she was not at home, so I came to ask you.It was just the day before yesterday that you and her said bird's nest, and then stopped, and never mentioned it. I was thinking of asking you.Baoyu said, "It doesn't matter."However, I thought that Sister Bao was also a customer, and she ate bird's nest without interruption. If I just asked her for it, it would be too trustworthy.Although it is inconvenient to ask my wife, I have already let the old lady know about it, I am afraid that the old lady will tell Sister Feng.I was about to tell her, but I didn't finish.Now I hear that I give you one or two bird's nests a day, and that's the end of it.Zijuan said: "So you said it, thank you for your trouble."We were wondering why the old lady suddenly thought of asking someone to send one or two bird's nests every day?That's it.Baoyu laughed and said, "You have to get used to eating it every day. It will be fine after three or two years."Zijuan said: "I'm used to eating here. I'll go home next year. Where can I have the spare money to eat this?"

Baoyu was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Who?"Where are you going?Zijuan said: "Your sister is going back to Suzhou."Baoyu laughed and said, "You're talking in plain language again."Although I was originally from Suzhou, I came here because I lost my uncle and aunt and had no one to look after me.Who are you going to look for next year?Visible is a lie.Zijuan sneered and said: You underestimate people too much.Your Jia family is a big family with a large population; apart from your family, everyone else has only parents. Is there really no one in the Fang family?When our girl came, it was because the old lady felt sorry for her when she was young. Although she had an uncle, she was not as good as her own parents, so she took her to live for a few years.When it was time to leave the cabinet when he was older, he would naturally return it to the Lin family.Will the daughter of the Lin family be successful in your Jia family forever?Although the Lin family was so poor that they had no food to eat, they were also a family of eunuchs from generation to generation, and they would never leave his family members in the relatives' house, and be ridiculed by others.So as early as next spring, as late as autumn.Even if you don't send it here, someone from the Lin family will definitely pick it up.The girl told me the night before yesterday, and asked me to tell you: take out all the things she gave you when you were young, and ask you to take them out and return them to him.She also folded what you gave him.When Baoyu heard this, it was like a Jiao Lei ringing above his head.Seeing his answer, Zicuckoo just kept silent.Suddenly Qingwen came and said, "The old lady called you, who knew you were here."Zicuckoo laughed and said, "he's here to ask about the girl's illness."I told him for a long time, but he just didn't believe it.You can pull him away instead.With that said, he walked back to his room.

Seeing him staring blankly, with hot sweat and swollen face, Qingwen hurriedly took his hand and walked all the way to Yihong Courtyard.When Xiren saw this, he panicked, and only said that he was feeling the weather, and his hot sweat was blown by the wind.Helpless, Baoyu's fever is a trivial matter, and he feels that his two eyeballs are straight up, and body fluid is flowing from the corners of his mouth, but he doesn't know it.Give him a pillow, and he will fall asleep; help him up, and he will sit; pour tea, and he will drink tea.Seeing him like this, everyone became flustered for a while, and they didn't dare to go back to Jia Mu again, so they sent someone out to invite Nanny Li.

At that moment, Nanny Li came, looked at him for a long time, asked him a few words but didn't answer, touched his veins with her hand, pinched her lips hard twice, the pinch was so deep that the fingerprints were so deep, she didn't It hurts.Nanny Li just said "It's amazing" and "Yeah", and then she hugged her and burst into tears.Xiren was so anxious that she pulled her and said: "You old man, look scary, don't be afraid, and tell us, go back to the old lady, the lady."Why did your old man cry first?Nanny Li beat the bed and pounded the pillow and said: This is useless!I have spent my whole life in vain!Xiren and others thought that he was old and knowledgeable, so they invited her to come and see; now seeing what he said, they all believed it and cried.

Qingwen then told Xiren that it was just like this.After hearing this, Xiren hurried to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Seeing that Zijuan was serving Daiyu to take medicine, he didn't care about anything, so he came up and asked Zijuan, "What did you just say to our Baoyu?"You look at him, you go back to the old lady, I don't care!With that said, he sat on the chair.Daiyu suddenly saw that the attacker was full of anger, with tears on his face, and his demeanor changed drastically, so she panicked and asked, "what's the matter?"Xiren fixed it for a while, and cried: I don't know what Aunt Zijuan said, that idiot's eyes were straightened, his hands and feet were cold, and he didn't say a word. Mother Li didn't hurt anymore when she pinched her, she was dead. Most of it!Even Li's mother said it was useless, and she burst into tears.I'm afraid they're all dead now!As soon as Daiyu heard this, Madam Li was an old woman who passed by.With a wow sound, he choked out all the medicine in his abdomen, coughed for a few times with the pain of shaking his intestines and lungs, burning his stomach and fanning his liver, his face was red and messy, his eyes were swollen and his muscles were swollen, and he was so breathless that he couldn't lift his head.Zijuan hurriedly came up to beat his back, Daiyu leaned on his pillow to pant for a while, pushed Zijuan and said, "You don't need to beat me, you are serious about strangling me to death with a rope!"Zijuan cried: "I didn't say anything, but I just said a few jokes, and he took it seriously."Attacker said: You still don't know his fool!Every time I joke, I take it seriously.Daiyu said, "What did you say?"If he went to explain it early, he might wake up.When Zicuckoo heard about it, she hurriedly got out of bed and went to Yihong Courtyard with her attackers.

Who knows that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are all there.When Jia Mu saw Zicuckoo, her eyes burst into flames, and she scolded, "You little hoof!"What did you say to him?Zicuckoo hurriedly said: "I didn't say anything, but I said a few jokes."But when Baoyu saw Zicuckoo, Fang wailed and cried.When everyone saw it, Fang felt relieved.Jia Mu held back Zijuan, thinking that she had offended Baoyu, so La Zijuan ordered him to beat him.Unexpectedly, Baoyu grabbed Zicuckoo and refused to let go, saying: "If you want to go, I will take it with you."Everyone was puzzled, and when they asked carefully, they found out that Zijuan said that he was going back to Suzhou, which was a joke.Jia Mu wept and said, "I think there is something important. It turned out to be this joke."Then he said to Zicuckoo, "you are the most intelligent child on weekdays, and you know that he has a dull root. Why do you coax him for nothing?"Aunt Xue persuaded: Baoyu was sincere, but Miss Lin came from a young age. His two sisters grew up so big that they were more different than other sisters.At this moment, it is hot to say one, not to mention that he is a solid silly boy, even a cold-hearted adult will be sad.This is not a serious illness. The old lady and aunt just take care of Wanan and take one or two doses of medicine.

Just as he was talking, people came back: Lin Zhixiao's family and Shan Daliang's family all came to see my brother.Jia Mu said, "It's hard to think about them and ask them to come and have a look."When Baoyu heard the word Lin, he made a fuss all over the bed and said, "It's amazing!"The people from the Lin family have come to pick them up, so hurry up and call them out!When Jia Mu heard this, she hurriedly said, "Call it out."He hurriedly comforted him and said, "That's not from the Lin family."Everyone in the Lin family is dead, no one will come to pick her up, just rest assured!Baoyu cried: Whoever he is, no one is allowed to be surnamed Lin except Sister Lin!Jia Mu said: "No one surnamed Lin came. I beat all those surnamed Lin away."On the one hand, he told everyone: don't ask Lin Zhixiao's family to come into the garden, and don't say Lin.Good children, listen to my words!Everyone hurriedly agreed, but they didn't dare to laugh.At that moment, Baoyu saw a Jinxiyang self-propelled boat displayed on the ten-brocade tree, pointed at it and shouted, "Isn't that the boat that came to pick them up?"Bay there too!Mother Jia hurriedly took it down.Xiren hurriedly took it down, Baoyu stretched out his hand to ask for it, Xiren handed it over, Baoyu was tucked in the quilt, and said with a smile: "It's impossible to go!"On the one hand, he held on to Zicuckoo. After a while, people came back: The doctor is here.Mother Jia is busy: come in quickly.Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Baochai and others temporarily hid in the room.Jiamu sat beside Baoyu. Physician Wang came in and saw many people. He hurried up to greet Jiamu, took Baoyu's hand, and had a consultation.That Zijuan had to lower her head, Dr. Wang didn't understand why, she got up and said: Brother, this disease is acute pain and obsession.The ancients once said: Phlegm fans are different.There are those who are deficient in qi and blood, and those whose diet cannot melt phlegm are obsessed; those who are angry and obsessed with phlegm;This is also a symptom of phlegm obsession, which is caused by acute pain, but it is blocked for a while, and it is lighter than other phlegm obsessions.Jia Mu said: "You just say you are afraid or not, who will memorize the medicine book with you!"Physician Wang hurriedly bowed and said with a smile: It's okay, it's okay.Jia Mu said, "It's really okay?"Doctor Wang said: "It doesn't matter, it's all on Wan Sheng's body."Jia Mu said, "In that case, please sit outside and prescribe medicine."If it is finished, I will prepare another thank you gift and ask him to hold it himself and send it to kowtow; if it is delayed, I will send someone to demolish the lobby of the Tai Hospital.Physician Wang just bowed and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare."He had heard that there was another first-class thank you gift and ordered Baoyu to kowtow, so he said he didn't dare, but he didn't hear Jiamu's joke about tearing down the Imperial Hospital later, and he still said he didn't dare, Jiamu and everyone laughed instead.For a while, I decocted the medicine according to the prescription and took it, and I felt quieter than before.But Baoyu refused to let Zijuan go, and said that she was going back to Suzhou when she went.Jiamu and Mrs. Wang had no choice but to order Zijuan to guard him, and send amber to serve Daiyu. Daiyu sent snow geese to find out the news from time to time. She knew everything about the affairs here, and she sighed secretly in her heart.Fortunately, everyone knows that Baoyu was originally a bit dull. They were close friends since childhood, and now Zijuan's jokes are also common, and Baoyu's illness is not uncommon, because there is no doubt about other things. In the evening, when Baoyu was quiet, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang went back to their rooms.He also sent people to interrogate him several times a night.Nanny Li led Nanny Song and several other young people to watch carefully, and Zijuan, Xiren, Qingwen and others accompanied her day and night.Sometimes when Baoyu falls asleep, she will wake up from her dream, either crying, saying that Daiyu has gone, or someone will come to pick her up.Every time you are shocked, you must have the azalea to comfort you.At that time, Jia Mu also ordered that all the above secret medicines, such as Quxie Shouling Pill and Kaiqiao Tongshen San, should be taken according to the prescription.The next day, he took Wang Tai medicine again, and gradually recovered.Baoyu knew in his heart that because he was afraid that the azalea would go back, he sometimes pretended to be crazy.Zicuckoo has really regretted it since that day, but now she works hard day and night without any complaints.Xiren and others were all at ease, because they smiled at Zicuckoo and said, "It's all your fault, and you have to deal with it."I didn't see us idiots, but I heard that the wind is rain, so what will happen in the future!Press it for now. Therefore, Shi Xiangyun's illness has recovered, and he comes to see him every day. Seeing that Baoyu understands, he describes his crazy state to him, which makes Baoyu laugh on his own.It turns out that he didn't know that at first; now he hears it, but he still doesn't believe it.When there was no one, Zicuckoo was by her side, and Baoyu took her hand again and asked, "Why are you bluffing me?"Zijuan said: "It's just to coax you to play, so you should be serious."Baoyu said: "What you said is so emotional and reasonable, how can it be a joke?"Zicuckoo smiled and said: I made up those jokes.The Lin family actually has no population, even if there is, it is a very distant family, and they don't live in Suzhou, and they live in different provinces.Even if someone comes to pick her up, the old lady will not let her go.Baoyu said, "The old lady will let her go, but I won't obey."Zicuckoo smiled and said, "Really, you don't agree?"As long as it is the words of the mouth.Now that you are grown up, you have even made an appointment to get married. If you marry again in two or three years, who else do you think? After hearing this, Baoyu asked in amazement: "Who made the marriage?"Who is it?Zijuan said with a smile: "I heard the old lady say in the past few years that she is going to order Miss Qin."Otherwise, hurt her so much?Baoyu laughed and said, "Everyone just says I'm stupid, but you are even more stupid than me."It's just a joke, she has already promised to Mei Hanlin's family.Sure enough, she has been settled, so am I still in this state?First of all, I swear and swear, you didn't persuade me to be crazy when I smashed this shit?It's just been a few days ago, and you're vomiting me again.Gritting his teeth as he said it, he added: I only wish that I would die right away, burst out my heart, you can see, and then all the belt and bones would be turned into a puff of ashes; the ashes still have traces, so it’s better to turn into a puff of smoke "The smoke can still condense and people can still see it, but it needs to be blown away in all directions by a gust of turbulent wind, that's good!"As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.Zijuan hurriedly came up to cover his mouth, wiped his tears, and explained with a smile: "You don't have to worry."This is because I was anxious, so I came to test you. Baoyu was even more surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"Zijuan laughed and said, "You know, I'm not from the Lin family. I'm also in the same group as Xiren and Yuanyang, so I was entrusted to Miss Lin."She is also very close to me, ten times better than the one she brought from Suzhou. For a moment, the two of us cannot be separated.Now I am worried in my heart, if she is going to go, I must go with her.I am a family here, if I don't go, I will let down our usual love, if I go, I will abandon my family.So I was puzzled, so I set up this lie to ask you, but you would make a fool of yourself.Baoyu laughed and said, "It turns out that you are worried about this, so you are a fool."Never worry about it again.I'll just tell you one sentence: alive, we live together, if we don't live, we turn into ashes and smoke together, how about it?After hearing this, Zicuckoo secretly planned. Suddenly someone replied: Master Huan and brother Lang send greetings.Baoyu said, "Just say it's hard for them. I just fell asleep and don't need to come in."The mother-in-law agreed to go.Zicuckoo smiled and said, "You're all right, let me go back and have a look at our one."Baoyu said, "That's exactly what I said."I was going to ask you to go yesterday, but I forgot again.I'm already well, so you can go.Zijuan heard that Fang made a pile of dowry and the like.Baoyu laughed and said, "I saw that there are two or three mirrors in your stationery. You can leave me the one with the small water chestnut flower."I put it next to the pillow, and it’s easy to take pictures when I’m asleep, and it’s also light and handy to take with me when I go out tomorrow.Zijuan heard that he had to stay with him, first ordered someone to send the things over, then said goodbye to everyone, and returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Lin Daiyu has heard of Baoyu's appearance recently, so she will inevitably suffer from some illnesses and cry a few more times.Seeing Zijuan come now, I asked why. Knowing Dayu, I still sent amber to serve Jiamu.At night, after the people settled down, when Zijuan had undressed and lay down, she smiled quietly at Daiyu and said, "Baoyu's heart is solid. When she heard us go, she just got up like that."Daiyu didn't answer.Zicuckoo paused for a long while, and said to herself: It is better to be still than to move.We are considered a good family here, everything else is easy, the most rare thing is that we grew up together, and we know each other's temperament and disposition.Daiyu spat, "You haven't had any shortage these days, so why don't you take a break now and chew on maggots."Zicuckoo laughed and said, "It's not that I'm chewing maggots for nothing, but I'm a girl from the bottom of my heart."I have been worrying about you for the past few years, no parents and no brothers, who is the one who knows the pain?Before the old lady still understood the tough season, she made a major decision.As the saying goes, old Jian is cold in spring and hot in autumn, if the old lady has a good or bad moment, even though it will be over at that time, I'm afraid it will delay the time, and it will not be as she wished.Although there are many princes and grandchildren, which one is not three households and five concubines, facing east today and west tomorrow?It would only take three nights and five nights for a fairy to come, and he would be thrown behind his neck, and even turned against a concubine and a girl.It would be better if someone in her natal family was powerful, but if it was a girl, it would be better if she had an old lady, but if there was no old lady, she would just be bullied by others.Therefore, it is important to make up your mind early.The girl is a sensible person, didn't she hear the saying: Ten thousand taels of gold are easy to get, but a confidant is hard to find.After hearing this, Daiyu said, "Isn't this girl crazy today?"Why have you been there for a few days, and suddenly you are a different person?I will go back to the old lady tomorrow, go back, I dare not want you anymore.Zijuan said with a smile: "I said good things, but I told you to be careful. I didn't ask you to do anything wrong. Why bother to go back to the old lady and let me suffer. What good is there?"As he spoke, he fell asleep.When Daiyu heard this, even though she said so in her mouth, she felt sad in her heart. When she fell asleep, she cried all night, and did not take a nap until dawn.The next day, after barely washing up and eating some bird's nest porridge, Jia's mother and other relatives came to visit and gave many instructions. Today is Aunt Xue's birthday. Since Jia Mu, everyone has congratulated her.Daiyu also prepared two-color needles and threads to send.On that day, a small play was also scheduled to invite Jiamu, Mrs. Wang, etc., but Baoyu and Daiyu never went.At the end of the evening, Jia Mu waited to see the two of them again on the way before going back to the room.The next day, Aunt Xue's family ordered Xue Biao to accompany all the guys to have a drink for a day. After three or four days in a row, it was ready. Because Aunt Xue saw that Xing Xiuyan was born elegant and stable, and her family was poor, she was the daughter of a hairpin and thorn skirt.Then he said that he was his wife with Xue Pan.Because Xue Pansu practiced extravagance, he was afraid of being ruined by other people's daughter.When he was hesitating, he suddenly remembered that Xue Biao was not married. Seeing that the two of them were just a couple made by nature, they were conspired by Sister Feng.Sister Feng sighed: "My aunt knows that our wife is a bit left-handed. I'll wait for my plan."Because when Jia's mother went to see Sister Feng's son, Sister Feng said to Jia's mother, "Aunt Xue has something to ask my ancestors, but it's not easy to say."When Jia's mother asked what was the matter, Sister Feng said about her marriage proposal.Jia Mu laughed and said, "What's wrong with that?"This is a very good thing.When I tell your mother-in-law, I'm afraid she won't agree?As soon as he came back to his room, he ordered someone to invite Mrs. Xing to come over and make Baoshan hard.Mrs. Xing thought about it for a while: Xue's family has a good foundation, and is now rich, and Xue's scorpion is born well, and Jia's mother insists on Baoshan, so she will take advantage of the opportunity. Mother Jia liked it very much, so busy people invited Aunt Xue to come.When the two met, they naturally had a lot of modest words.Mrs. Xing immediately ordered someone to tell Xing Zhong and his wife.He and his wife came here to take refuge in Mrs. Xing, but they refused to follow her, and said: "Wonderful!"Jia Mu said with a smile: "I like to meddle in a nosy thing, and today I have meddled in another thing. How much money will I get as a matchmaker?"Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's natural."I'm afraid it's not unusual to carry a hundred thousand silver.But there is only one thing. Since the old lady is the master, she needs another one.Jia Mu laughed and said: "Nothing else, there are still two people in our family who have broken legs and hands."Then, he ordered someone to call You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.Mother Jia told her the reason, and congratulated each other for being busy.Jia's mother said: "You know all the rules of our family. There has never been a dispute between the two relatives."Now that you are doing the cooking for me, don't be too stingy, and don't spend too much money, and return to me the affairs of his two families.Youshi hastily agreed.Aunt Xue was overjoyed, she came home and hurriedly wrote the invitation and sent it to Ning Mansion.Mrs. You knew Mrs. Xing's sentimental nature very well, so she didn't want to control it, but she had no choice but to obey Mrs. Jia's instructions. She could only act according to Mrs. Xing's wishes.It's easy to say that Aunt Xue is a person who can do everything.This goes without saying. Now Aunt Xue has appointed Xing Xiuyan as her daughter-in-law, and everyone in the house knows it.Mrs. Xing wanted to live in Xiuyan, but Jia Muyin said, "What's the matter? The two children can't meet each other. It's just the concubine and her one elder aunt and one younger aunt. What's the matter?"Besides, they are both daughters, so they are just so sweet.Mrs. Xing just let it go. Tiao and Xiu had met each other once on the way last time, and probably both of them were happy in their hearts.It's just that Xing Xiuyan is a little more rigid than before, so it's not easy to gossip with Baochai sisters; and Xiangyun is a playboy, so he feels even more embarrassed.Fortunately, she is well-educated, and although she has the status of a daughter, she is not the kind of person who pretends to be ashamed and blindly frivolous and pretentious.When Baochai saw her, he saw that his family was poor. The parents of the other people were both young and virtuous. Her parents were the only ones who were drunk, and they were ordinary among daughters. Mrs. Xing was just showing affection. It's not that she really loves her; besides, Xiuyan is elegant and dignified, Yingchun is an angry dead person, she hasn't even taken care of herself, how can she take care of her!All the daily necessities in the boudoir may be in short supply, and no one takes care of them, and she does not open her mouth to others.Baochai was always considerate and helped each other in secret, and she didn't dare to know Mrs. Xing, for fear of gossip.Now, unexpectedly, the romance has made this marriage.In Xiuyan's mind, she first takes Zhong Baochai, and then Xue Biao.Sometimes, Xiuyan still gossips with Baochai, and Baochai still calls her sister. On this day, because Baochai came to see Daiyu, Xiuyan also came to see Daiyu, and they met halfway.Baochai called her to him with a smile, and they walked together behind a stone wall. Baochai asked him with a smile: "It's still very cold today, why did you change all the clips?"Xiuyan asked, but bowed her head and did not answer.Then Baochai knew that there was another reason, and asked with a smile, "it must be because I didn't get the monthly money this month?"Feng girl is also so careless now.Xiuyan said: She thought she would give it on a good day, because my aunt sent someone to tell me that I wouldn't spend two liang of silver in a month, and asked me to save one liang of silver to give to my parents. If I want to use it, there are things from my second sister anyway. , It's enough to use it a little bit.The elder sister thought, the second elder sister is also an honest person, so she doesn't pay much attention.I gave her things, although she didn't say anything, among her mothers and girls, which one is easy to deal with, and which one is not sharp-tongued?Although I was in that room, I didn't dare to push them too hard. After three or five days, I would have to spend some money to buy wine and snacks for them.Therefore, two taels of silver in January was not enough, and now one more tael has gone.A while ago, I quietly made cotton clothes into a few pennies.Baochai heard this, and sighed with frown: "Pianmei's family is in office again, and they will come in the next year."If it's here, Qin'er has passed, so we can discuss your matter again.It's over from here.Now, if he doesn't finish his sister's business first, he won't dare to marry first.Now it is a difficult thing.Two years later, I am afraid that you will suffer from illness.Wait for my mother and I to discuss it again. If someone bullies you, you just have to be patient and don't torture yourself to get sick.It's better to simply give them the one or two taels of silver tomorrow, and they will all rest.You don't have to give those people food for nothing in the future, let them go to the spikes, it's too much to hear, everyone go away.If there is something short, don't be so childish, just go to me.It's not the case after marriage. We'll be fine when you come.Afraid of gossip, you just send the little girl to talk to me quietly.Xiuyan bowed her head and agreed. Baochai pointed to a jasper pei on her skirt, and asked, "Who gave this to you?"Xiu Yandao: This is from the third sister.Baochai nodded and said with a smile: "She sees that everyone has one, but you don't have one. She is afraid of being laughed at, so she gives you one."This is where he is smart and meticulous.But there is one more sentence, you also need to know: These decorations were originally made by the ladies of the rich and noble families. Look at me, from head to toe, do I have such gorgeous casual makeup?However, before seven or eight years ago, I was doing the same thing, but now it is not as good as the other, so I save what I should save.When you come to our house in the future, I'm afraid there will still be a box of these useless things.We can't compare to them now, we should always be practical and honest, and we don't have to compare them.Xiuyan smiled and said: "Since my sister said so, I'll just go back and pick them."Baochai hurriedly laughed and said, "You have heard too much."This is her kind gift to you, if you don't wear it, she will be suspicious.I just mentioned here by accident, and I will know it later.Xiuyan hurriedly agreed and asked again: Where is sister going at this time?Baochai said, "I'm going to Xiaoxiang Pavilion."You go back and ask the girl to send the pawn ticket, I will take it out quietly, and give it to you quietly at night, so you can wear it sooner or later, otherwise the fan will cause serious trouble.But where is it?Xiuyan Road: It is called Hengshu Dian, and it is on Gulou West Street.Baochai laughed and said, "This is a trouble with the family."If the guys knew about it, it would be better to say that the clothes came first before the person came.When Xiuyan heard about it, she knew it was her family's capital, and she blushed, she smiled, and the two walked away. Baochai came to Xiaoxiang hall just as her mother came to see Daiyu and was gossiping.Baochai laughed and said, "How sooner or later did mother come?"I don't know.Aunt Xue said, "I've been busy these days, so I haven't come to see Baoyu and her."So it's okay to see both of them today.Daiyu hurriedly let Baochai sit down, because she said to Baochai: "The things in the world are really unexpected. How can I expect my aunt and eldest aunt to be a family again?"Aunt Xue said: My son, how do you girls know that, since ancient times, a marriage of thousands of miles is linked by a thread.There is an old man under the moon who is in charge of marriage. He is predestined to use only a red thread to tie the two people's feet in secret. Since your two families are separated by the sea and the country, and those who have feuds will have a chance to make love in the end. couple.This incident was unexpected, because the parents and the person were willing, or if they were together every year, they thought it was a fixed marriage. If the old man under the moon didn't tie it with a red thread, he would not be able to go to the same place again.For example, the marriage of your two sisters is not in front of you at this moment, nor is it in the mountains and seas.Baochai said: "Only mother, if you say something, pull us along."On the one hand, he fell into his mother's arms and said with a smile: "Let's go."Daiyu laughed and said, "Look!"At this age, she is the most seasoned without her aunt, and she will act like a baby when she sees her aunt.Aunt Xue rubbed Baochai with her hands, sighed to Daiyu and said, "Your sister is just like Brother Feng in front of the old lady. If you have serious business, you can discuss it with her. It's okay. Fortunately, she let me go." Heart.When I see her like this, how many lingering worries do I have? When Daiyu heard about it, she wept and sighed: "She is here like this. She is clearly angry at me for having no mother, and deliberately came to hurt my eyes."Baochai laughed and said, "Mom, look at her frivolousness, but call me coquettish!"Aunt Xue said: "I can't blame her for being sad. It's a pity that she has no parents, no relatives after all."Mosuo Daiyu smiled and said, "Good boy, don't cry."You see that I love your sister, you are sad, you don't know that I love you more in my heart!Although your elder sister has no father, she still has me and her own brother, which is better than you.I always tell your sister that I love you very much in my heart, but it's not easy to bring it out outside.You have a lot of people here, few people say good things, and many people say bad things. Don't say that you are helpless, and you are hurt by others. Just say that we see that the old lady loves you, and we will feel sorry for you too. Go to the water.Daiyu laughed and said: "Since my aunt said so, I will recognize my aunt as my mother tomorrow. If my aunt refuses to recognize her, she is pretending to love me."Aunt Xue said, "You don't tire of me, so just admit it."Baochai hurriedly said, "I don't recognize it!"Daiyu said: "Why can't you recognize it?"Baochai smiled and asked, "Let me ask you, my brother hasn't made an appointment yet, so why did you say sister Xing to my brother first? What's the reason?"Daiyu said: "He's not at home, or his birthday is wrong, so let's talk about my brother first."Baochai laughed and said, "No."My elder brother has already agreed, and it will be settled as long as he comes home, and there is no need to ask someone to come. I just said that you don't know your mother, so think about it.As he spoke, he winked and laughed with his mother. When Daiyu heard this, she also threw her head on Aunt Xue's body and said, "If my aunt doesn't beat her, I won't obey!"Aunt Xue hurriedly hugged her and laughed, "Don't believe your sister's words, he is playing with you!"Baochai laughed and said, "Really, wouldn't it be better for Mom Minger and the old lady to ask her to be a daughter-in-law than to find her outside?"Daiyu came up to catch him, and said with a smile: You are getting more and more crazy.Aunt Xue persuaded with a smile when she was busy, let's separate them with her hands.Because he said to Baochai again, "Daughter Lian Xing, I was afraid that your brother would be trampled on him, so I told your brother."Not to mention this child, I will never give it to him.A while ago, because the old lady wanted to tell Baoyu about your sister, she was born to have another family, otherwise it would be a good relationship.I made a deal with Xing's daughter the other day, and the old lady laughed and said: I was going to talk about her man, but she didn't get her man, but she said one of us.Although it's a joke, it's interesting when you think about it.I think that although Baoqin has someone else, although I have no one to give it to, don't I say a word?I thought, the old lady of your brother Bao loves him so much, and he is born like that, if you want to talk about it outside, the old lady will definitely not like it.How about setting your sister Lin to him, wouldn't it be all four corners? Lin Daiyu listened in a daze at first, but when she saw that it was about herself, she spat on Baochai, blushed, pulled Baochai and said with a smile: "I only hit you!"Why did you call out your aunt's old and unserious words?Baochai laughed and said, "This is amazing!"Mom said you, why hit me?Zicuckoo also ran over in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Since my aunt has this idea, why don't you tell your wife?"Aunt Xue laughed and said, "You child, what are you in a hurry for!"It must have urged your girl to leave the court, and you have to find a little son-in-law earlier.Zijuan blushed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The concubine is really relying on the old and selling the old."With that said, he turned around and left.Daiyu scolded first, "What does it have to do with your hoof?"Seeing this later, he also laughed and said: Amitabha!Should, should, should!Also ashamed a nose gray to go!Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, as well as the women and maids in the house all laughed.The women also laughed and said: "Although the concubine is naughty, she is not bad at all."When I was free, I discussed with our old lady, and my aunt actually acted as a matchmaker to secure this marriage, which is absolutely perfect.Aunt Xue said: Once I come up with this idea, the old lady will like it. Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw Xiangyun coming, holding a pawn ticket in his hand, and said with a smile, "what kind of account is this?"Daiyu looked at it, but didn't recognize it either.The underground women all laughed and said: This is a rare item, this good boy is not taught by Bai.Baochai hurriedly picked it up, and when she looked at it, it was the pawn ticket that Xiuyan had just said, and she hurriedly folded it up.Aunt Xue hurriedly said: It must be that some mother's pawn ticket has been lost, and they are so anxious to find it when they come back.Where did you get it?Xiangyun said: "What is a pawn ticket?"Everyone laughed and said: "What an idiot, I don't even know how to be a ticket."Aunt Xue sighed: I can't blame her, she is really the daughter of the Hou family, and she is young, how do you know this?where to have this?Even if the family has this, how can she see it?別笑她是呆子，若給你們家姑娘們看了，也都成了呆子。眾婆子笑道：林姑娘方才也不認得，別說姑娘們。就如寶玉，他倒是外頭常走出去的，只怕也還沒見過呢。薛姨媽忙將原故講明。湘雲、黛玉二人聽了，方笑道：原來為此。人也太會想錢了，姨媽家的當鋪也有這個不成？眾人笑道：這又呆了。天下老鴰一般黑，豈有兩樣的！薛姨媽因又問：是哪裏拾的？湘雲方欲說時，寶釵忙說：是一張死了沒用的，不知那年勾了賬的，香菱拿著哄她們玩的。薛姨媽聽了此話是真，也就不問了。一時人來回：那府裏大奶奶過來，請姨太太說話呢。薛姨媽起身去了。 這裏屋內無人時，寶釵方問湘雲何處拾的。湘雲笑道：我見你令弟媳的丫頭篆兒，悄悄的遞與鶯兒。鶯兒便隨手夾在書裏，只當我沒看見。我等她們出去了，我偷著看，竟不認得。知道你們都在這裏，所以拿來大家認認。黛玉忙問：怎麼她也當衣裳不成？既當了，怎麼又給你去？寶釵見問，不好隱瞞他兩個，遂將方才之事都告訴了她二人。黛玉便說兔死狐悲，物傷其類，不免感嘆起來。史湘雲便動了氣，說：等我問著二姐姐去！我罵那起老婆子、丫頭一頓，給你們出氣何如？說著，便要走。寶釵忙一把拉住，笑道：你又發瘋了，還不給我坐著呢！黛玉笑道：你要是個男人，出去打一個報不平兒。你又充什麼荊軻、聶政，真真好笑。湘雲道：既不叫我問她去，明兒也把他接到咱們苑裏一處住去，豈不好？寶釵笑道：明日再商量。說著，人報三姑娘、四姑娘來了。三人聽了，忙掩了口不提此事。You need to know the end, and listen to the next chapter to break it down.
