It is said that Xue Biao was suspicious, when he suddenly heard a smile outside the window, he jumped, and thought in his heart: It's not Baochan, it must be Jingui.Just ignore them and see what they can do.After listening for a long time, there was no sound.I dare not eat the fruit myself.After closing the door, and just about to undress, I only heard a slight sound on the window paper.At this time, Xue Biao was fooled by Baochan for a while, and his heart was full of emotions, but he didn't know what to do.Hearing the slight sound of the window paper, when he looked closely, but there was no movement, he became suspicious, covered his arms, sat in front of the lamp, and thought about it blankly; then took a piece of the fruit, and looked at it carefully over and over again.Turning around suddenly, I saw that the paper on the window was wet. When I walked over and looked at it, I was surprised by a blow from the outside, which made Xue Tiao jump.Hearing the creaking laughter, Xue Biao quickly blew out the lamp, and lay down holding his breath.I only heard a person outside say: Why didn't the second master drink and eat fruit, and then fell asleep?This sentence is still Baochan's voice.Xue Biao just kept silent and pretended to be asleep.After another two sentences, there seemed to be a hateful voice outside: there are such unlucky people in the world!Xue Biao heard it, it was Baochan, and it seemed to be Jingui's voice.Only then did they realize what they meant, tossing and turning, they didn't fall asleep until after five o'clock.

Just after dawn, someone knocked on the door.Xue Biao hurriedly asked who it was, but the outside didn't agree.Xue Biao had no choice but to get up, and when he opened the door to look, it was Baochan, with his hair tied up, covering his arms, wearing a small tight-fitting pipa lapel with brocade edges, a half-new pine and green sweat towel tied on top, and nothing underneath. skirt, garnet red sprinkled trousers, and a pair of newly embroidered red shoes.It turns out that Baochan hasn't washed up yet. I'm afraid people will see him, so come early to pick up the guy.Seeing her dressed like this, Xue Biao walked in, his heart was moved again, so he could only ask with a smile: "Why did you wake up so early?"Baochan blushed and didn't answer, just folded the fruit in a plate and left with it.Seeing her like this, Xue Biao knew it was because of last night, and thought to himself: That's all.On the contrary, they were annoyed, and they simply gave up their hearts, so as not to bother them.So he let go of his heart and called someone to scoop up water to wash his face.I plan to sit quietly at home for two days, one is to nourish my mind, and the other is to go out to fear that people will find him.It turned out that those who were friends with Xue Pan felt coveted because they saw that there was no one in Xue's family, only Xue Biao was working there, and they were young.There are also those who want to get in there to do errands; there are also those who can do pleadings, know one or two book servants, and want to do things for him;When Xue Biao saw these people, he avoided them from a distance, and did not dare to speak in person, for fear of unexpected changes, so he had to hide at home and wait for the details.do not mention.

Let's say that Jin Gui sent Baochan to send some wine and fruit last night to find out about Xue Biao. When Baochan came back, he told about Xue Biao's situation one by one.Jingui saw that things were not very speculative, so she was afraid of making a fuss for nothing, and would be looked down upon by Baochan, and wanted to cover up two or three sentences and change his words, but it was a pity for this person.I lost my mind and just sat there in a daze.But Baochan also knew that it would be difficult for Xue Pan to go home, and he was trying to find a way out, but he didn't dare to reveal it because he was afraid that Jingui would take her.Seeing what Jingui did, she had already started, so she was happy to take advantage of the wind to get Xue scorpion first, not afraid that Jingui would not follow her, so she used words to provoke.Seeing that Xue scorpion seems to be ruthless and not very solicitous, he dare not make mistakes for a while.Later, seeing Xue scorpion blowing the lamp to sleep on himself, he was so disappointed that he came back and told Jingui to see what method Jingui had, and then make sense.Seeing that Jingui was in a daze, as if there was nothing she could do, she had no choice but to accompany Jingui to clean up and go to sleep.

I can sleep there at night, toss and turn, and come up with a way: how about getting up early in the morning, going to fetch the guy first, but changing into one or two attractive clothes by myself, without washing and washing, to look more coquettish.Just looking at Xue Biao's expression, he pretended to be annoyed and simply ignored him.If Xue scorpion has any regrets, he will naturally move the boat to the shore, and don't worry if he doesn't get it first.When I saw Xue Biao, it was still the same as last night, and I had no intention of being out of place. I could only pretend that it was true, and came back with a plate, but deliberately left the jug, thinking that I would come back again.I saw Jingui asked: "You take things, has anyone met?"Baochan said: "No."The second master didn't ask you anything?Baochan said: "No."Since Jin Gui didn't fall asleep all night, he couldn't think of a way, so he had to think back: If you do this, others can hide it, how can Baochan hide it?It's better for me to share the benefits with her, she naturally has no insatiable heart.I can't go by myself, and I have to ask her to play tricks, so I might as well discuss a stable idea with her.Yin said with a smile: "What kind of person do you think the second master is?"Baochan said: "It looks like a confused person."Jingui laughed and said: How do you talk about the men?Baochan also laughed and said: "He failed Grandma's heart, so I will tell him!"Jingui said: How could he fail my heart?You have to talk about it.Baochan said: "Grandma gave him something good to eat, but he wouldn't eat it. Isn't this disappointing grandma's heart?"As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Jingui and smiled.Jingui said: Don't think about it.I give him things and work tirelessly for my uncle's affairs, so I respect him; I am afraid that people will tell lies, so I ask you.You said these words to me, I don't know what you mean.Baochan said with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry too much. I'm with grandma. Do you still have two hearts?"But things need to be kept secret, if it gets louder, it's not for fun.

Jingui also felt her face flushed, because she said: You girl, you are not a good guy!Thinking about it, you liked it in your heart, but you used me as a raft, didn't you?Baochan said: "It's just that grandma thinks so, but I feel bad for grandma."Grandma wants to really look at Second Master, I have an idea.Grandma thought, doesn't that mouse steal oil?He was just afraid that if things were not kept secret, everyone would make trouble, which would not look good.In my opinion, grandma, don't be impatient, she often goes where he is unprepared, making troubles.He is a brother-in-law, and he didn't marry a wife, so grandma tried her best to be nice to him, and no one else could say anything.In a few days, he would like to thank grandma for her kindness, so he would naturally thank grandma.At that time, grandma prepared some things in our house, and I helped grandma get him drunk, afraid that he would run away?If he didn't agree, we would simply start a fight and say that he was molesting grandma.He is afraid, so he naturally has to follow our hands.He shouldn't be anymore, he is not human, and we should not lose face in vain.What does grandma want?After Jingui heard this, her cheeks were already blushing, and she laughed and cursed: "Little hoof!"It seems that you have stolen many men, no wonder the uncle can't leave you when he is at home.Baochan turned his mouth away and said with a smile, "Come on!"People pull the fiber for grandma instead, and grandma says this to us instead!From then on, Jingui focused on befriending Xue Biao, but didn't want to play tricks.There is little peace at home.

On the same day, Baochan went to fetch the jug by himself, still steady and upright.Xue scorpion peeked at them, but regretted it, suspected or thought of them wrongly, it is unknown.Sure enough, she failed her good intentions, and she couldn't keep herself from falling out with herself in the future. Isn't it self-inflicted?After two days, I felt very quiet.When Xue Biao met Baochan, Baochan bowed his head and left without raising his eyelids; when he met Jingui, Jingui rushed after him with a pot of fire.Seeing such a scene, Xue Biao felt very sorry.This is not the case. Besides, Baochai's mother and daughter felt that Jingui was quiet for a few days, and suddenly became intimate with others, which was rare for the whole family.Aunt Xue was very happy, thinking that Xue Pan must have offended something when marrying this daughter-in-law, which ruined the past few years.Now that such a thing has happened, thanks to the family's wealth and the efforts of Jia's family, there is hope.The daughter-in-law suddenly became quiet, or Pan'er's luck turned around, it is unknown.So I thought it was strange in my heart.

After dinner this day, I helped Tonggui over and went to the Jingui room to have a look.Walking into the courtyard, I only heard a man talking to Jingui.Tonggui knew the opportunity, so he said, "Grandma, the old lady is here."Said, has reached the door.Seeing a figure hiding behind the door, Aunt Xue was frightened and backed out.Jingui said: "Madam, please sit inside."There is no outsider, he is my stepbrother, who lives in the village and is not used to people, because he has never seen his wife, so he just came here today, and he has not gone to greet his wife.Aunt Xue said: "Since you are uncle, you might as well meet."Jingui asked his brother to come out to see Aunt Xue, made a bow and said hello.Aunt Xue also said hello, and sat down to talk.Aunt Xue said: "When did uncle go to Beijing?"Na Xia said: "The month before last, my mother had no housekeeper, so she adopted me."I just came to Beijing the day before yesterday, and today I came to see my sister.Aunt Xue saw that the man was not embarrassed, so she sat down for a while, then got up and said: "Uncle, just sit down."Turning back to Jingui, he said: "My uncle is the last one on his head. Stay with us and have dinner before going."Jingui agreed, and Aunt Xue went by herself.

Seeing her mother-in-law gone, Jingui said to Xia San: "You sit down, you have passed the Ming Road today, so that our second master will not check you."I still ask you to buy something today, just don't let everyone see it.Xia Sandao: Leave this to me and it will be over.Whatever you want, as long as you have money, I can buy it.Jingui said: "Don't talk about it, I won't accept it if you are fooled."As they said that, the two laughed again, and then Jin Gui had dinner with Sam Xia, told him what he had bought, and told him to go by himself.Since then, Sam Xia has kept in touch.Although there is an old doorman who knows that he is an uncle, he doesn't come back often, and infinite turmoil has arisen since then. This is something to say later.No table.

One day, Xue Pan sent a letter back. When Aunt Xue opened it and asked Baochai to read it, it wrote: The man does not suffer in the county, and the mother is relieved.But yesterday the county secretary's office said that the government has approved the details, and it seems that our love has arrived.Unexpectedly, the government went up to the details, and Daoli refuted it.Fortunately, Mr. Wen, the master of the county, was kind, so he immediately made a palindrome and went up.In that way, the county magistrate was ordered.Now you have to mention it personally in the Tao, if you go up, you will have to suffer.It must be that the Tao did not entrust it.When the mother saw the words, she quickly asked someone to ask the Taoist master.He also asked his brother to come quickly, otherwise, he would explain the truth.Silver is not short.Hurry up, hurry up!

After hearing this, Aunt Xue cried again, needless to say.While comforting Xue Biao, he said: "It's not too late."Aunt Xue had no choice but to ask Xue Biao to take care of her in the county, and ordered her to pack up her luggage and exchange the money. Li Xiangben, her family, was there to take care of her, and Xue Biao set off overnight with another clerk in the middle. At that time, they were in a hurry, and although there were servants to handle it, Baochai was afraid that they would not be able to think about it, so she came to help her in person, and the commotion did not stop until the fourth watch.After all, the rich girl is pampered, anxious, and after working hard for a while, she has a fever at night.By tomorrow, I can't even eat soup.Yinger went back to Aunt Xue.When Aunt Xue came to see in a hurry, she saw that Baochai's face was flushed and her body was burnt, and she didn't say a word.Aunt Xue panicked and cried until she died.Baoqin supported Aunt Xue to persuade her.Qiu Ling also burst into tears, just screaming.Baochai could not speak, nor could she shake her hands, her eyes were dry and her nose was stuffy.Call for medical treatment, and gradually regain consciousness.Aunt Xue waited for everyone to rest assured.People who had alarmed the Rong and Ning prefectures earlier, first Sister Feng sent Shixiang Huihun pill, and then Mrs. Wang sent Baodan.Jiamu, Xing, Mrs. Wang and Youshi all sent maids to greet them, but Baoyu didn't know.After seven or eight days of treatment, it didn't work. It was because she thought of Lengxiang pills and took three pills that she got better.Later, Baoyu also knew about it, and he recovered from his illness, so he didn't look at it.

At that time, Xue Biao came back with another letter.Aunt Xue saw it, and she was afraid that Baochai would be worried, so she didn't let her know.I came to ask Mrs. Wang myself, and told about Baochai's illness for a while.After Aunt Xue left, Mrs. Wang begged Jia Zheng again.Jia Zheng said: "This matter can be trusted at the top, but it is difficult at the bottom. It must be taken care of."Mrs. Wang brought up the matter of Baochai again, because she said, "this child is suffering too."Since he is a member of my family, he should have married earlier, so don't let him ruin his body.Jia Zhengdao: I think so too.But his house is in a hurry, and now that it's the end of winter, they are already approaching their age, and each of them has to do some housework.Let's let it go this winter, and celebrate it next spring. After the old lady's birthday, I will marry on a fixed date.You tell Mrs. Xue what you said first.Mrs. Wang agreed. Tomorrow, Mrs. Wang told Aunt Xue what Jia Zheng had said.Aunt Xue thought so too.After dinner, Mrs. Wang accompanied her to Mother Jia's room, and everyone gave up their seats.Jia Mu said, "My aunt just came here?"Aunt Xue said: "I came here yesterday."Because it was late, I didn't have to come over to say hello to the old lady.Mrs. Wang told Jia Mu what Jia Zheng said last night, and Jia Mu was very happy.With that said, Baoyu came in.Jia Mu then asked, "Have you eaten?"Baoyu said: "I just came back from the school room. I have to go to the school room after eating. I will see the old lady first."I heard again that my aunt is coming, so come over and say hello to my aunt.Because I asked: Is sister Bao all right?Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Okay."It turned out that just now everyone was talking, and when they saw Baoyu coming in, they all stopped.Baoyu sat down and saw that Aunt Xue was not as affectionate as before. Although she was not in the mood at the moment, she did not offend that everyone was silent and full of suspicion, so she went to school. When I came back in the evening, I saw them all, so I went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.Lifting the curtain and going in, Zicuckoo followed, seeing no one in the inner room, Baoyu said, "Where did the girl go?"Zijuan said, "I went to the house."Knowing that my aunt is coming, the girl greets her.Didn't the second master go to the upper room?Baoyu said, "I went and came, but I didn't see your girl."Zijuan said: "This is also strange."Baoyu asked, "Where did the girl go?"Zicuckoo said: "Not sure."Baoyu went out.As soon as I left the house, I saw Daiyu slowly coming with snow geese.Baoyu said, "My sister is back."Shrunk back and stepped in.Daiyu came in, walked into the inner room, and asked Baoyu to sit inside.Zijuan took a coat and put it on, then sat down and asked, "Did you see my aunt when you went up?"Baoyu said, "I've seen it."Daiyu said: "Did my aunt talk about me?"Baoyu said: "Not only did I not talk about you, but even when I saw me, I didn't seem to be as affectionate as before."Today I asked about Sister Bao's illness, but she just smiled and didn't answer.Do you blame me for not going to see her these two days?Daiyu smiled and said, "Have you gone to see it?"Baoyu said, "I didn't know in the first few days; I knew in the past two days, but I didn't go either."Daiyu said: "No."Baoyu said: "The old lady didn't ask me to go, the wife didn't ask me to go, the master didn't ask me to go, how dare I go!"If the small door was open like before, it would not be difficult for me to see her ten times a day.Now that the door is blocked, it is naturally inconvenient to go ahead.Daiyu said: "How does she know the reason?"Baoyu said: "Sister Bao is the most considerate of me."Daiyu said, "Don't make a mistake by yourself."If you talk about Sister Bao, you're even more inconsiderate. It's not my aunt's disease, it's Sister Bao's disease.It used to be so lively in the garden, composing poems, admiring flowers, drinking wine, but now it is separated, and you see that something is wrong with her family, and she is sick to that point in the field, and you seem to be fine, why doesn't she get annoyed?Baoyu said, "Sister Bao won't get along with me in this way?"Daiyu said: "I don't know if she is on good terms with you, and I'm just reasoning." When Baoyu heard this, he stared blankly for a long time.When Daiyu saw Baoyu in such a state, she ignored him. She just made people feel more fragrant, and then she turned out the book and read it carefully for a while.Baoyu frowned, stomped his feet, and said, "I miss this man, what did you do with him?"The world is clean without me!Daiyu said: "If you have me, you will have people; if you have people, countless troubles will arise."Horror, reversal, dream, and many more obstacles.What I said just now was all jokes. You just saw your aunt listless, so why did you suspect Sister Bao?My aunt came here because she was upset about his lawsuit, so why is she here to entertain you?It's all your own cranky thinking, which got into the magic way.Baoyu suddenly became enlightened, and said with a smile, "very, very."Your spirit is far stronger than mine. I can't blame you for saying a few Zen words to me when I was angry the year before last. I really can't forgive you.Although I have a golden body of six feet, I still borrow one of your stalks to transform it. Daiyu took this opportunity and said, "I'll ask you a question, how would you answer it?"Baoyu crossed his legs, clasped his hands, closed his eyes, hissed his mouth, and said, "Let's talk."Daiyu said: "Sister Bao and hello, how are you?"Sister Bao doesn't like you, how are you?Sister Bao was nice to you before, but not now, how are you?I'm with you today, but I won't be with you later, how are you?You are nice to her, but she is not nice to you. How are you?You don't want to be nice to her, but she wants to be nice to you. How about you?Baoyu stayed for a while, then suddenly laughed and said, "Even if the weak water is three thousand, I will only take a ladle to drink."Daiyu said: "What's the point of floating the ladle?"Baoyu said: "It's not a ladle floating in the water, the water flows by itself, and the ladle floats by itself!"Daiyu said: "The water stops the pearl from sinking, what can I do?"Baoyu said: "The mind of Zen has been covered with mud, so don't dance partridges to the spring breeze."Daiyu said: The first precept of Zen is not to tell lies.Baoyu said: "It's like three treasures." Daiyu bowed her head and remained silent.He only heard the old ostrich croaking a few times outside the eaves, and then flew to the southeast. Baoyu said, "I don't know what is good or bad for the master?"Daiyu said: "People have good and bad things, not in the bird's voice."Suddenly Qiuwen came and said, "please go back, second master."The master asked someone to come to the garden to ask if the second master had returned from school.Sister Xiren only said that she had come.Go ahead.Baoyu was so frightened that she stood up and hurried out, but Daiyu didn't dare to stay with her.I don't know what happened, I will break it down next time.
