The son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family is Leng Zixing, a friend of Yucun, who recently asked a woman to ask for favors because he was selling antiques and fighting lawsuits with people. Zhou Rui's family relied on the master's momentum, and they didn't take these things to heart, and they just begged Sister Feng at night.

When it was time to take charge of the lamp, Sister Feng took off her makeup, came to see Mrs. Wang, and replied, "I have already accepted the things sent by the Zhen family today." We gave him a boat to deliver fresh food at home, and handed it over to him to take back.

Mrs. Wang nodded, and Sister Feng said again: "The birthday gift for Mrs. Lin'anbo has been arranged, who will Mrs. send to send it?"

Mrs. Wang said, "Look who is idle, call the four women to go, and come and ask me again." ”

"Today, sister-in-law Zhen came to invite me to go shopping tomorrow, is there anything going on tomorrow?"

"It's okay to do anything. Every time she comes to invite, it is naturally inconvenient for you to have us, and she does not invite us to invite you alone, but we can know that she sincerely asks you to wander. Don't let her heart down, it's time to go and walk. ”

Sister Feng agreed. At that moment, Li Kun and Sister Tanchun also went back to their rooms. The next day, Sister Feng freshened up and returned to Mrs. Wang before saying goodbye to Mother Jia. Baoyu heard it and said that she would also go shopping, but Sister Feng could only agree. After changing their clothes, the two sisters got in the car. When I entered the Ning Mansion at one time, Jia Zhen's wife You Shi and Jia Rong's daughter-in-law Qin's family, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went out with many concubines and maids to greet them. As soon as the You clan saw Sister Feng, he must have laughed for a while, pulled Baoyu with one hand, and sat down in the upper room.

The Qin family offered tea, and Sister Feng said, "What do you invite me to do? What do you want to honor me? If you have something, you can offer it, I still have something to do!"

You Shi didn't have time to agree, and several daughters-in-law smiled first: "If the second grandmother doesn't come today, just come, and if she comes, she won't be able to rely on your old man." ”

As he was talking, he saw Jia Rong come in and say goodbye. Baoyu asked, "Isn't the big brother at home today?"

You Shi said: "I went out of the city today to ask the lord for peace." And he said, "But what are you doing sitting here, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Qin said with a smile: "It's a coincidence today, last time Second Uncle Bao said that he wanted to see my brother, and today he is sitting in the study here, why don't you take a look?"

Baoyu went to see him, and You Shi hurriedly ordered someone to wait carefully and followed. Sister Feng said, "In that case, why don't you invite me in and meet me too?"

You Shi smiled: "That's it, that's it, you don't have to see it." It's not as good as our children, who are used to fighting and falling. Other people's children are all Sven, and I have never seen such a spicy thing as you. It's a joke to death!"

Sister Feng smiled: "I don't laugh at him, he dares to laugh at me?"

Jia Rong: "He was born shy, he has never seen a big battle, and his aunt has no anger when he sees it." ”

Sister Feng chirped, "Bah! I want to see him too." Don't let your mother's fart go! If you don't bring it, I'll slap you in the mouth. ”

Jia Rong smiled with a smile: "Why bother Aunt Qiang, we just brought it." Sister Feng also smiled.

After going out for a while, he brought an offspring with him. Slightly thinner than Baoyu, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, pink face and red lips, handsome figure, and graceful manners, more than Baoyu, just timid and shy The posture of some girls, shy and vague to say hello to Sister Feng. Sister Feng was happy to push Baoyu first and smiled: "It's better than going down!"

So he leaned over and grabbed the child's hand, asked him to sit down beside him, and slowly asked him about his age, reading, etc., only to know that his scientific name was Qin Zhong. The maids and daughters-in-law that Sister Feng followed saw that Sister Feng had not prepared for the first time when she saw Qin Zhong, so she rushed over there to tell Ping'er. Ping'er knew that Sister Feng and the Qin family were close, so she made her own mind and took a ruler, two champions and a small gold bill, and handed them over to someone to send over. Sister Feng also said that it was too simple, Qin and others thanked them, and after eating for a while, You's, Sister Feng, Qin and others played cards.

Baoyu and Qin Zhong sat and talked casually. As soon as Baoyu saw Qin Zhong, he felt like he had lost something, and he was stupid for a long time, and he thought to himself: "There are such characters in the world? Now that I see it, I have become a mud pig and a leper dog, but why was I born in the house of the Houmen Mansion? If I was also born in the family of the Han Confucian and Bo Eunuch, I would have handed over to him a long time ago, and I would have been born in vain." Though I am more noble than him, the silk brocade sara does not but wrap me in my dead wood, and the lamb wine does not fill my dung hole and mud ditch. The word rich and noble really poisons people. ”

Qin Zhong saw that Baoyu had outstanding appearance, extraordinary manners, and even wore a golden crown embroidered dress, and was a beautiful maid, and thought: "Sure enough, I can't complain that my sister is full of praise when she mentions it on weekdays." I was born in a cold family, how can I get close to him?"

The two of them were just as cranky, Baoyu asked him what he was reading, and Qin Zhong asked and answered truthfully. The two of you talk to me, and the more they talk about it, the more intimate they feel. Holding the tea fruit and drinking tea for a while, Baoyu said: "The two of us don't drink alcohol, put the fruit on the small kang in the room, let's go there, save you from making trouble." ”

So the two of them went into the room and drank tea. While Sister Zhang Luofeng was drinking fruit wine, the Qin family hurriedly came in and instructed Baoyu: "Second Uncle Bao, your nephew is young, if you don't speak guarded, you must look at me and ignore him." Although he is shy, he has a withdrawn temper and is not very easy-going. ”

Baoyu smiled: "You go, I know." ”

Sister Feng got up to say goodbye and walked hand in hand with Baoyu. You Shi and the others sent to the front of the hall, and saw that the lights were brilliant, and all the small servants were standing in Danqi. The next day, You Shi came to invite, so he took Mrs. Wang, Daiyu, and Baoyu over to watch the play. At noon, Jia's mother will come back to rest. Mrs. Wang was so pure, and when she saw Jia's mother coming back, she also came back. Then Sister Feng sat down as the chief and enjoyed herself until the evening.

Jia Baoyu sent Jia's mother back, waited for Jia's mother to take a nap, and went back to watch the play, and was afraid of disturbing the Qin family and others. remembered that Xue Baochai was recuperating at home recently, and did not go to see her, and wanted to visit her. If you pass through the corner door at the back of the upper room, I am afraid that it will be even more inappropriate to encounter something else, so I would rather go farther away.

Baoyu came to the Lixiang Courtyard, and went to Aunt Xue's house first, and saw Aunt Xue doing some needles and the maids. Baoyu asked for peace, Aunt Xue grabbed her, hugged her into her arms and said with a smile: "It's such a cold day, my son, it's hard for you to think about coming, come and sit on the kang." ”

Ordered someone to make boiling tea. Baoyu asked, "Isn't my brother at home?"

Aunt Xue sighed: "He is a horse without a hitch, and he can't go around every day, so where is he willing to stay at home for a day?"

Baoyu: "Is my sister okay?"

Aunt Xue: "But the day before yesterday, you wanted to send someone to see her." She's in the room, isn't she, you see. She's warmer there than here, you're sitting there, I'll pack up and come in and talk to you. ”

Baoyu listened, and hurriedly got off the kang and came to the door of the room, only to see a half-old red silk soft curtain hanging. Baoyu lifted the curtain and stepped in, and first saw Baochai sitting on the kang doing needlework, with black and oily hair on her head, a honey-colored cotton jacket, rose and purple gold and silver thread shoulders, and a green and yellow silk cotton skirt. One color and half new and not old, you can't see luxury, but you feel elegant and light. Few words, people pretend to be stupid, and they are always at peace, and they are clumsy.

Baoyu looked at it and asked, "Is my sister cured?"

Baochai looked up and saw Baoyu coming in, and quickly got up and replied with a smile: "It's much better, thank you for your concern." ”

Saying that, let him sit down on the edge of the kang, and then ordered Ying'er: "Pour tea." At the same time, he asked the old lady and Aunt Ann, and asked the other sisters how they were.

Looking at Baoyu wearing a purple gold crown with a silk inlaid treasure on his head, a two-dragon holding beads on his forehead to wipe his forehead, wearing an autumn-fragrant python white fox armpit arrow sleeve, tied with a five-colored butterfly luan silk, and a longevity lock and a name symbol hanging on his neck, and a piece of Baoyu that fell from the grass.

Baochai said with a smile: "Cheng Tian said that you have never appreciated this piece of jade, I want to take a look today." ”

As he spoke, he moved closer, and Baoyu also leaned over, took it off his neck, and handed it to Baochai's hand. Baochai is held in the palm, only to see as big as a bird's egg, bright as a bright glow, as smooth as a crisp, five-color pattern entanglement, this is the phantom of the stubborn stone under the Qinggang Peak in the Great Wilderness Mountain.

"Nuwa's refining of stones has become absurd, and she has played a great wilderness to absurdity. Lose your true face, and the illusion will be new. Good luck is lost, and it is not good to be good. The white bones are like mountains and forget the surname, nothing more than a son and red makeup. ”

After reading it, Baochai turned over the front again to take a closer look, and read in his mouth: "Don't forget, Xianshou Hengchang." ”

After reading it twice, he turned back to Ying'er and smiled: "You don't go to pour tea, what are you doing here in a daze?"

Ying'er also grinned and said, "When I listen to these two sentences, it seems to be a pair with the two sentences on the girl's collar." ”

When Baoyu heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said, "It turns out that my sister also has words on her collar? ”

Baochai said: "Don't listen to her, there are no words." ”

Baoyu begged, "Good sister, why do you let me see!"

Baochai couldn't be entangled by him, so he said: "It was also someone who gave two auspicious words, and they were chiseled, so I took them every day." Otherwise, what's the fun of being heavy?"

As he spoke, he unbuttoned the breast, and took out the jewels and gold from the big red jacket inside. Baoyu held the lock and looked, and sure enough, there were four words on one side and eight words on both sides, forming a total of two auspicious sentences.

Baoyu read it, read it twice, read it twice, and asked with a smile: "Sister, these eight words are the same as mine." ”

Ying'er smiled: "It was sent by a leper monk, and he said that it must be engraved on the gold object......"

Baochai didn't wait for her to finish, so she snorted: "Don't go and pour tea!" while asking Baoyu where she came from.

Baoyu and Baochai were sitting side by side at this time, only smelling bursts of aroma, but they didn't know what it was, so they asked, "What kind of incense is my sister smoking? I have never smelled this kind of smell." ”

Baochai said: "I am most afraid of incense. Good clothes, why smoke it?"

Baoyu asked, "So what kind of incense is this?"

Baochai thought for a while: "It's me who got up early and ate the aroma of cold incense pills." ”

Baoyu smiled: "What kind of cold incense pill, it smells so good? Good sister, give me one to taste." ”

Baochai smiled: "Don't make trouble, can you take the medicine casually?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone outside say, "Miss Lin is here." ”

Before the words were finished, Daiyu had already staggered in, and when she saw Baoyu, she smiled and said, "Ouch, I came unfortunately." ”

Baoyu hurriedly got up to sit down. Baochai smiled: "What do you say?"

Daiyu said: "I knew he was coming, so I wouldn't come." ”

Baochai: "What does that mean?"

Daiyu: "What do you mean? Come together, don't come if you don't come, don't you come; today he comes, tomorrow I come, staggered, isn't there someone coming every day? What is there not to know about my sister?"

When Baoyu saw that he was covered with a big red feather satin cardigan, she asked, "Is it snowing?"

The underground wives said, "It's been a long time." ”

Baoyu said, "Take my cloak." ”

Daiyu smiled: "Isn't it, he should leave when I come!"

Baoyu: "I said I was leaving, but I took it and prepared it." ”

Baoyu's grandmother, Mama Li, said: "It's snowing again, and it depends on the time, so let's play with my sisters and sisters here." My aunt set the tea there, and I told the girl to fetch the cloak, and said that it would be dispersed for the children?" Baoyu nodded.

Mama Li went out and ordered the little guys: "Let's disperse." ”
