The old lady asked Lin Daiyu to sit on the kang, and there were two brocade mattresses on the edge of the kang, so Daiyu did not go to the kang, but sat on the chair on the east side.

The maids in this room brought tea, and Daiyu drank tea while looking at these maids' makeup, dresses, and behaviors, which were really different from other families.

Before the tea was drunk, I saw a maid wearing a red silk jacket and a green silk pinching vest coming over and laughing: "Mrs. said, please come and sit over there." ”

The old lady listened, so she led Lin Daiyu out and went to the three small main rooms in the southeast. There is a kang table horizontally on the kang in the front, on which are stacked with books and tea sets, and half-used blue satin backrests and pillows are placed on the east wall and west. But Madame Wang sat on the west side, also on a half-old blue satin backrest mattress, and when she saw Daiyu coming, she moved east. Daiyu thought in her heart that this must be Jia Zheng's position, because she saw that there were half-old elastic flower chairs on the three chairs next to the kang, so Daiyu sat down on the chairs. Mrs. Wang repeatedly asked her to go to the kang, and she sat down next to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang said, "Your uncle has fasted today, so see you later." He just has something to tell you: It is a great thing that your three sisters can get together, and in the future, they will have a companion in the same place to read and write, learn needlework, or joke together. I don't worry about one thing, our family has a bad cause, is the family of the demon king, today he went to the temple to make a wish, has not come back, you will know when you see it at night. You don't have to pay attention to him in the future, you sisters and sisters don't dare to provoke him. ”

Daiyu heard her mother say that because there was no male in Jiafu, she adopted an adopted son, and her personality was stubborn and abnormal, he didn't like to study, and he liked to mess around in the house the most, and his grandmother was doting, and no one dared to care. When I heard what Mrs. Wang said today, I knew that it was this cousin, and said with a smile: "What my aunt said, when I was at home, I remember that my mother used to say that this brother is one year older than me, and his nickname is Baoyu. Besides, when I came, I was naturally in the same room with my sisters, and the brothers were in a separate house, so how could I be troubled?"

Mrs. Wang smiled: "You don't know why, he is different from others, because the old lady loves him, and he is used to being pampered with his sisters." If his sisters had ignored him, he would have been quieter, but if his sisters had spoken to him one more word, his heart would rejoice, and many things would have happened. So I tell you not to pay attention to him. He has sweet words in his mouth for a while, and there is no day for a while, crazy and stupid, don't believe him. Daiyu agreed one by one.

Suddenly, I saw a maid and said, "The old lady has told us to go to dinner." ”

Mrs. Wang was busy carrying Daiyu out of the back door and from the back porch to the west. Out of the corner gate, it is a north-south passage, the south side is the inverted seat of three small hugging halls, the north side stands a large shadow wall, there is a half gate behind, a small house. Mrs. Wang pointed at Daiyu with a smile and said, "This is your sister's house. When you come back, you should go here to find her, and just talk to her if you have anything to do. ”

There were a few small servants at the gate of this courtyard, standing with their hands down. Mrs. Wang then carried Lin Daiyu through an east and west hall, which was Jia's mother's backyard. So when he entered the back door, there were already many people waiting here, and when he saw Mrs. Wang coming, he began to set up tables and chairs. Jia Zhu's wife, Li, held the cup, Xifeng put the chopsticks, and Mrs. Wang sent the soup. Jia's mother sat alone on the couch in front of her, with four empty chairs on both sides. Wang Xifeng was busy pulling Daiyu to sit down on the first chair on the left, and Daiyu was very pushing.

Mother Jia smiled: "Your aunt and sister-in-law don't eat here. You're a guest, and you're supposed to sit like this. Daiyu sat down and sat down.

Jia Mu ordered Mrs. Wang to sit down as well. The three sisters of Yingchun came up from the party, Yingchun sat first on the right hand, second on the left of Tanchun, and second on the right of Xichun. The maids next to them insisted on brushing the dust, gargling the bowl, and handkerchief, and Li Kun and Sister Feng stood by the desk; although there were many daughters-in-law and maids waiting, they didn't even hear a cough. After the meal, a maid brought tea with a small tea tray.

The daughter of the Lin family cherishes the blessing and nourishes her body, and she must drink tea after a while after each meal, so as not to hurt her spleen and stomach; today Daiyu saw that there are many rules here, unlike at home, and only easy-going people take the tea. Someone brought another gargle, and Daiyu also rinsed her mouth and washed her hands. Then I brought the tea again, and this is the tea I drank.

Jia Mu said, "Go ahead, let us talk freely." Mrs. Wang got up and said two more words of gossip before leaving with Li Kun and Sister Feng.

Mother Jia asked Daiyu what book she was reading. Daiyu said: "I just read the "Four Books". ”

Daiyu asked the sisters what books they read, and Jia's mother said, "What books you read, it's just a matter of recognizing a few words." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, and the maid came in and reported: "Baoyu is back." ”

Daiyu thought to herself, this Jia Baoyu didn't know what kind of lazy person he was? When he came in, he saw that it was a young man. On his head, he wears a purple and gold crown with a bundle of hair, a two-color gold butterfly wearing a red arrow sleeve, a multicolored silk flower knot long spike palace silk, a stone blue flower eight groups of satin tassel gowns, and a small court boot with a blue satin foundation. The face is like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the color is like the flower of spring dawn, the temples are like a knife, the eyebrows are like ink paintings, the nose is like a hanging gall, and the eyes are like autumn waves. There is a golden tassel on the neck, and there is a five-colored silk silk, tied with a piece of beautiful jade. Daiyu was taken aback when she saw it, and thought to herself: "It's so strange, as if I've seen him there, how familiar is it?"

I saw Jia Baoyu ask Jia's mother for peace, immediately turned around and went, and when he came back, he had already changed into a crown belt, and the short hair around his head was knotted into small braids, and the red silk ended, and he was saved to the top of the fetal hair, and the chief editor made a big braid, black and bright as lacquer, from the top to the tip, a string of four large beads, and the feet were dropped with gold eight treasures. He was wearing a silver and red half-worn coat with flowers, still carrying collars, treasures, name locks, amulets and other things, and half-exposed pine green sprinkled silk pants underneath, brocade elastic ink socks, and thick-soled red shoes. The more it looks like a powder, the more the lips are greased, the more affectionate it is, and the language is like a smile. A natural charm, all in the eyebrows, thousands of feelings in life, all the corners of the eyes. Looking at his appearance, it is excellent, but it is difficult to know the details of his personality, "Xijiang Yue" is true.

"Looking for sorrow and hatred for no reason, sometimes it seems stupid and crazy. Even if he was born with a good skin, his abdomen was originally reckless. I can't get through the general affairs, and I'm stupid and afraid to read articles. Behavior is remote and perverse, and the world is slandered. Wealth does not know happiness, and poverty is unbearable and desolate. Pity lives up to the good times, and there is no hope for the country and home. The world's incompetence is the first, and the ancient and modern are unparalleled. Sending words to the pants and the ointment, do not follow the shape here. ”

When Jia Mu saw him come in, she smiled and said, "The outsider took off his clothes without seeing him, and he didn't go to see your sister yet." ”

Jia Baoyu only realized the existence of another person at this time, and he turned his eyes and looked dumbfounded. It turned out that this Jia Baoyu was the person incarnated by Xu Fu in this era, he was adopted by Jiafu as an adopted son, and Lin Daiyu was the woman reincarnated by the woman Xu Fu loved.

Jia Baoyu was surprised when she saw a woman with a curly grace, how could this woman look so similar to Yuzi? Could it be that she is the woman that Yuko reincarnated in this life? Jia Baoyu thought to herself: Could it be that she is Aunt Lin's daughter? She is also the woman who is reincarnated in Yuo's life?

The two bends seem to be frowning and not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy. The state is full of sorrows, and the disease of the whole body. Tears are dotted, and the pant is slight. Quiet like delicate flowers shining on the water, action like weak willows supporting the wind. The heart is more than the dry, and the disease is like Xizi winning three points.

Baoyu smiled: "I have seen this sister before. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Nonsense again, when have you ever seen it?"

Baoyu smiled: "Although I haven't seen it, I look at the good face, and my heart looks like I am far away from reunion." ”

Jia Mu smiled: "Okay, this is even more harmonious." ”

Baoyu walked to Daiyu and sat down, and looked at it carefully: "Sister, have you ever studied?"

Daiyu said: "I never studied, I only went to school for one year, and I know a few words." ”

"Sister, your name?"

Daiyu said the name, and Baoyu asked again: "What about the table words?"

"Wordless. ”

Baoyu smiled: "I give my sister a word, it's not as good as the word 颦 is very good." ”

Tanchun asked, "Where does the allusion come from?"

Baoyu said: "The "General Examination of Ancient and Modern Characters" says: There is a stone name in the West, which can be used as the ink of the thrush. Besides, my sister's eyebrows are frowning, isn't it beautiful to take this word?"

Tanchun smiled: "I'm afraid it's made up again." ”

Baoyu said with a smile: "In addition to the Four Books, there are too many fabrications. ”

He asked Daiyu again: "Is there any jade?"

Everyone was puzzled. Daiyu pondered: "Because he has jade, that's why he asked me." He replied, "I have no jade." Your jade is also a rare treasure, how can everyone have it?"

When Baoyu heard this, he immediately became mad, took off the jade and threw it down, scolding: "What kind of rare treasure?

Frightened, everyone rushed up to pick up the jade, and Jia Mu hugged Baoyu anxiously: "Evil obstacles! It's easy for you to beat and scold people when you're angry, why bother to drop that life!"

Baoyu cried with tears on her face: "I don't have any sisters and sisters at home, I have them alone, I say it's not interesting, and now there is no fairy sister, but I know that this is not a good thing." ”

Jia Mu hurriedly coaxed him: "Your sister originally had jade." Because when your aunt died, she was reluctant to deal with your sister, so she took her jade with her, and fulfilled the funeral rites to fulfill your sister's filial piety, and second, your aunt's yin spirit could also be used to see your sister. So she said no, and it was inconvenient for herself to exaggerate, so you can't bring it with you?"

As he spoke, he handed it to the maid and brought it to him personally. When Baoyu heard this, he thought about it for a while, and he didn't have anything else. When the nurse asked Daiyu's room, Jia's mother said, "Move Baoyu's room out, live with me in the suite warm pavilion, and put Miss Lin in the Bisha kitchen for the time being." After the end of winter, they will clean up their rooms in the spring and make another arrangement. ”

Baoyu said: "Good ancestor, I am very good on the bed outside the Bisha kitchen. Why do you have to come out, the troublesome ancestors must not be quiet?"

Jia Mu thought for a while: "That's it." ”

Each person has a nurse and a maid to take care of them, and the rest of them are called at night in the outer room. On the one hand, Wang Xifeng had already ordered someone to send a lotus lotus flower account and a brocade quilt and satin mattress. Lin Daiyu only brought two people, one was her own nurse Mama Wang, and the other was a ten-year-old girl named Snow Goose.

Mother Jia saw that Xue Yan was very young and childish, and Mama Wang was very old, so she thought that Daiyu would not be happy, so she gave Daiyu a second-class girl named Brother Parrot next to her. is also like Yingchun and others, in addition to the nursing mother since childhood, there are four other grandmothers, in addition to the two girls who are in charge of the hairpin and the mu, there are four or five little girls who sweep the house and go to and from the envoys.

That night, Mama Wang and Brother Parrot accompanied Daiyu in the Bisha kitchen, and Baoyu's nurse Mama Li and the big girl named Raider accompanied her on the big bed outside. It turned out that this attacker was also Jia's mother's maidservant, whose real name was Ruizhu, Jia's mother because she doted on Baoyu, lest Baoyu's maid not like to call, she had always liked Ruizhu's pure heart, so she gave it to Baoyu.

Baoyu knew that her real surname was Hua, and she had seen the old man's poem with the sentence "flowers attack people", so she told Jia's mother to change the name of Ruizhu to attack people. It's a bit stupid to attack people, when serving Jia's mother, there is only Jia's mother in my heart, and now I follow Baoyu, and I only have Baoyu in my heart. Just because Baoyu has a perverse temperament, every time he reprimands, he sees that Baoyu doesn't listen, and he is really depressed.
