The attacker's mother came out, and the attacker pulled Baoyu in. Baoyu saw three or five girls in the room, and when she saw him come in, they all bowed their heads and were shy. Hua Zifang's mother and son were afraid of Baoyu's coldness, so they let him go to the kang, and they were busy setting out another fruit table and pouring tea.

The attacker smiled: "You don't have to be busy in vain, I naturally know." and do not put the fruit on the table, and do not give him anything to eat. ”

As he spoke, he took his mattress and spread it on a pestle, and Baoyu sat down, and put his feet on the stove with his feet, and took out two plum blossom cakes from his purse, and opened the stove and burned it, and put it in Baoyu's arms, and then poured tea from his teacup, and handed it to Baoyu. Her mother and brother were busy arranging the fruit on the table.

Seeing that there was nothing to eat, the attacker smiled and said: "Since you are here, there is no reason to go back empty-handed, you can taste a little, and it can be regarded as a trip to my house." As he spoke, he took a few pine nuts, blew off the fine skin, and gave them to Baoyu with a handkerchief.

Baoyu saw that the attacker's eyes were slightly red, and the pink light was melting, and quietly asked the attacker, "Why are you crying?"

The attacker laughed and said: "How can you cry, you are squinting and rubbing your eyes." So he covered up the past.

Jia Baoyu wears a big red gold python fox armpit arrow sleeve, covered with a stone sable fur row of tassels. The attacker said, "You came here and changed into new clothes, so they won't ask you where you're going?"

Baoyu smiled: "Uncle Zhen changed it when he went to the theater." ”

The attacker nodded: "Sit down and go back, this place is not for you." ”

Baoyu smiled: "It's good for you to go home, I still keep good things for you." ”

The attacker smiled and said, "Quietly, what do you mean by letting them listen." ”

At the same time, he reached out and took off the psychic jade from Baoyu's neck, and smiled at her sisters: "You have seen and understood. It's often rare to say, and I can't wait to see it, but today I'm trying my best to see it. No matter what kind of rare item you look at, it's just such a thing. ”

After speaking, he handed it to them and read it, and still hung it up for Baoyu. She also ordered her brother to go, or hire a small sedan chair, or hire a small car, to send Baoyu back. Hua Zifang said: "If I send it, you might as well ride a horse." ”

The attacker said, "No, it's not so that you don't meet people." ”

Hua Zifang was busy hiring a small sedan chair, and it was not easy for everyone to stay with each other, so they had to send Baoyu out. The attacker grabbed the fruit and gave it to Mingyan, and gave him some money to buy flowers and set off cannons, and taught him: "Don't tell others, otherwise even you will be wrong." ”

sent Baoyu to the door, watched him get on the sedan chair, and put down the sedan curtain. Hua Zifang and Mingyan led the horse to follow. When he came to Ningfu Street, Mingyan ordered the sedan chair to be stopped, and said to Hua Zifang: "You have to wait for me and the second master to mix in the East Mansion before we can hide it, otherwise people will be suspicious." ”

Hua Zifang felt justified when she heard this, and carried Baoyu out of the sedan chair and sent her to the horse. Baoyu smiled and said, "It's hard for you." So he went through the back door.

Since Baoyu went out, these maids in his room were all joking arbitrarily, some of them were playing Go, some were throwing dice and cards, and they were knocking melon seed skins on the ground. Mama Li, the partial nurse, came in on crutches to ask for peace, looked at Baoyu, and saw that Baoyu was not at home, and the maids were only playing around, and they couldn't look at it.

sighed: "As long as I go out and don't come in, you will become less and less presentable, and other mothers will not dare to talk about you." That Baoyu is a lampstand of eight zhangba, and he who sees other people's houses, but he can't see his own. I only know that the suspect's house is dirty, this is his house, and it is ruined by you, and it is not decent. ”

These girls knew that Baoyu didn't pay attention to these, and Mama Li had already dismissed the old man, and now she didn't care about them, so she only cared about playing and ignored her. Mama Li only asked: "How much does Baoyu eat at a meal now?", "When will you go to bed?" and so on. The girls always answer nonsense, and some people say, "What a nasty old man!"

Mama Li asked again: "There is crisp cheese in this bowl, why don't you give it to me?" "After that, take the spoon and eat it.

One of the girls said, "Don't move! You old man admit it yourself, don't bother us to be angry. ”

When Mama Li heard this, she was angry and ashamed, so she said, "I don't believe she is so bad? Is the raider more important than me? Now I drink her bowl of milk, and she gets angry? I want to drink it, see what? You see the raider doesn't know what, that's the hairy girl I have in my hand, what kind of guy?"

While talking, he was angry and ate up the cheese. Another girl smiled and said, "They can't speak, no wonder your old man is so angry." Baoyu also often sends things to honor you, how can you feel uncomfortable about this. ”

Mama Li said: "You don't have to pretend to be a fox to coax me, I don't know about the last time I picked up Qianxue for tea." Tomorrow there is no one, I'll get it again!" said angrily.

After a while, Baoyu came back and ordered someone to pick them up. Seeing Qingwen lying on the bed without moving, Baoyu asked, "Are you sick?"

Qiu Wen: "She won, who knew that Mrs. Li was here, and she lost her temper for a while, and she was so angry that she went to sleep." ”

Baoyu smiled: "Don't be like her, just let her go." ”

Saying that, the attackers have come, and they see each other. The attacker asked Baoyu where she was eating, how early and late she would come, and said hello to her companions and sisters on behalf of her mother and sister, and changed her clothes and makeup. Baoyu ordered someone to bring the cheese, and the maids replied, "Grandma Li has eaten it." ”

Baoyu was about to speak, but the attacker hurriedly smiled: "It turned out to be this left, thank you for your trouble." The day before yesterday, when I ate it, it was delicious, and my stomach hurt so much that I vomited. She ate it, but left it here and made a waste. I just want to eat air-dried chestnuts, you peel the chestnuts for me, and I'll make the bed. ”

Baoyu believed it, threw away the cheese, took the chestnuts, and peeled them in front of the lamp. Seeing that everyone was not in the room, he smiled and asked the attacker, "Who are you wearing red today?"

The attacker said, "That's my second aunt's sister-in-law." ”

Baoyu listened and praised twice. The attacker asked, "Sigh what? I know what is in your heart, do you want to say where she wears red?"

Baoyu smiled: "No, no. If such a beauty doesn't deserve to wear red, who would dare to wear it? I just saw that she looked really good, and she was in our house. ”

The attacker sneered: "I am a slave alone, can it be that even my relatives are slaves?"

When Baoyu heard this, he smiled and said, "You are too careful." When I say that they come to our house, they may not be slaves?

Attacker: "That's not worth it." ”

Baoyu refused to say any more, just peeled chestnuts. The attacker laughed: "Why don't you say it? I think I offended you, and tomorrow I will spend a few taels of silver to buy them in." ”

Baoyu smiled and said, "What you say, how can I answer? I just praised her for being good, she is worthy of being born in this deep hall compound, and she is not like us and a turbid thing grows here." ”

Attack: "Although she doesn't have this creation, she is also pampered, she is my aunt's baby." Now he is seventeen years old, and all kinds of dowries are ready, and he will be married next year. ”

When Baoyu heard the word "marriage", she couldn't help but snort twice. was uncomfortable, and heard the attacker sigh: "It's just that in the past few years I've been here, the sisters are not allowed to be in one place." Now I'm going back, and they're all gone. ”

Baoyu was taken aback when she heard that there was an article in it, and hurriedly dropped the chestnut: "What's the matter, you want to go back now?"

"I heard my mother and brother discussing today and teaching me to endure for another year, and next year they will come up and ransom me out." ”

When Baoyu heard this, he asked, "Why do you want to ransom you?"

The attacker said, "Is this strange? Am I the biological son of your family, the whole family is elsewhere, and I am here alone, what kind of situation is this?"

Baoyu: "It's hard if I don't ask you to go." ”

Assault: "There has never been such a thing. Even in the imperial palace, there is also a rule, or a selection every few years, and a few years to enter, and there is no reason to stay in the long run, let alone you!"

Baoyu thought about it, and it really made sense. And he said, "Madam, it's hard not to let you go." ”

Attacker: "Why don't you let it go? Am I a rare person? Touched by the old lady, the old lady won't let me out, give us a few more taels of silver, and keep me? In fact, I am just the most ordinary person, much better than me. I have been here since I was a child, followed the old lady, first served Miss Shi for a few years, and now I have served you for a few years. Now that our family has come to redeem it, it is time to leave, but I am afraid that I will not even want money, so I will be told to leave. If you say that you serve you well, and don't let me go, it is absolutely impossible. Serving well is a natural part of the service, not a miracle. I'm gone, but there are still good people coming, and it's not that I can't do without it. ”

When Baoyu heard these words, there was a reason to leave, but there was no reason to stay, and her heart became more and more anxious: "Even so, I only want to keep you, and I am not afraid that the old lady will not tell your mother." Give your mother some silver, and she will be embarrassed to take you. ”

Attack: "My mother naturally didn't dare to force it. And if you say good things to her, and give more money, it will not be good to tell her, and she will not give me any money, and she will not dare to disobey me. It's just that our family has never done this kind of domineering thing, which is not as good as anything else, because you like it, and you will give it to you if you multiply the benefits, and the person who sells it will not suffer a loss, but can do it. Now leaving me out of thin air for no reason is not beneficial to you, but it separates us from flesh and blood, and the old lady and wife will never do it. ”

Baoyu listened to it and thought for a while: "According to you, are you going to decide?"

The attacker said, "It's done." ”

Baoyu listened: "Who knew that such a person as you would be so merciless and unrighteous. sighed: "I knew that I was going to go, I shouldn't have gotten here, and then I would be left alone." So saying, he went to bed angrily.

It turned out that the attacker heard her mother and brother say that they wanted to ransom her back, so she said that she would not go back if she died. He also said, "Since you had no food to eat that day, I was left with a few taels of silver, and if you were not allowed to sell it, there would be no reason to watch your father and mother starve to death." Now fortunately, it is sold to this place, and the food and clothing are the same as the master, and there is no need to beat and scold at night. Besides, although your father is gone, you have managed to clean up your family and recovered your vitality. If life is still difficult, it is not difficult to redeem me and pay back a few more dollars. What will this redeem me? Just think I'm dead and don't have to think about redeeming me. So he cried for a while.

Her mother and brother saw that she was so stubborn, so naturally they didn't have to come out. Besides, it was originally a death deed for sale, and it was clear that Jia's house was a charity and generous family, but if you ask for it, I am afraid that it will be rewarded with silver. Jia Fuzhong has never been a subordinate, only Endowei is few. And all the girls in the old and young room are even more different from everyone in the family, and the young ladies who are usually humble cannot get that kind of respect.

Therefore, the mother and son are not redeemed. After Jia Baoyu went suddenly, the two of them were in such a situation, and his mother and son understood more in their hearts, more and more stones fell to the ground, and it was an accident, and they were relieved of each other, and there was no more redemption.
