Chapter 7: Narcissus

Baoyu is actually only twenty years old in this world, but his face has faded from his original immaturity, and he has more of the fortitude and handsomeness that a man should have. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Like all mature men, he began to understand responsibility and proportion, calm and open-minded, although his "rebellious and perverse, love and hate" nature has not changed, but it has also been restrained to the bones, at least it will not be like before, crazy at every turn.

Of course, unless someone completely provokes him, such as scolding Jia Yucun just now, but even then, there is a kind of wisdom in it.

The people inside had already walked to the gate, because the voice was heard very clearly, Baoyu did not knock on the door, but quietly waited for the people inside to come out, wanting to see the situation first.

"Senior sister, you see that this snow is endless, and it was cleaned once at dawn, anyway, no one came in this kind of weather, so I don't think there is any need to clean it!" A somewhat childish girl's voice seemed to be shouted a little reluctantly in her tone.

"I said junior sister, don't be lazy, the master should punish you again when he knows, haven't you heard the master say, 'Always wipe diligently, don't make dust'?" This is a girl who sounds a little older.

"Senior sister, what are you talking about, we're just sweeping the snow..."The little girl suddenly giggled, and the laughter came from the crack in the door like a silver bell, and then the sound of the latch opening the door.

"Hey, you areβ€”" A sister-in-law, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, poked her head out of the crack in the door and cried out in surprise when she saw Baoyu standing in the doorway.

This little girl's thick black eyebrows, a pair of big eyes like a clear spring, staring at Baoyu so curiously, Baoyu was embarrassed to see it, and she was a little speechless for a while.

The door was completely opened, and I saw that there was another older sister-in-law standing next to the sister-in-law just now, but she looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were all holding a broom made of bamboo, and they were standing at the door like that, staring at Baoyu curiously with four pairs of beautiful eyes.

"Two sisters, I'm passing by, I'm a little thirsty, I want to beg for a glass of water, if it's inconvenient, I'll leave..."

"However, we are a nunnery, and men are not allowed to enter at will..."The sister-in-law flashed her big beautiful eyes, and after saying these words, she turned her head to look at the senior sister beside her, with an inquiring look in her eyes.

"Jingzhu, if you wait here, I'll ask Master..." The older sister-in-law showed a look of unbearability in her eyes, and after speaking, she handed the broom to the sister-in-law, and then turned around and walked inside.

The sister-in-law named Jingzhu suddenly looked a little cramped and shy, holding on to the two brooms that were almost above her head, and peeking at Baoyu from time to time, Baoyu looked up at her, but she lowered her head embarrassedly, and kept playing with the broom in her hand.

"So my sister's name is Jingzhu?" Baoyu suddenly smiled and asked, but the sister-in-law didn't answer, just rolled his eyes, and the whites of her eyes as bright as the moon flashed.

It didn't take long for the older sister-in-law to come back and say with a smile: "Master said that monks should be compassionate, this day is cold, this son must be in trouble, since you are here, please go in and have a cup of tea!" ”

Baoyu followed the two sisters-in-law in, and after entering the courtyard, they were taken directly to the main hall where the idol was enshrined.

"Master, this is the son I told you about..."As soon as she crossed the high threshold, the older sister-in-law bowed respectfully inside.

There was an old lady in the meditation hall who was holding a dust whisk in her hand, and she was seriously sweeping the dust on the statue.

However, then, the old girl's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had found some treasure, and her voice trembled a little: "Little brother, I see that you are so familiar... Are you... Are you the second master of Bao? ”

When Baoyu heard her say this, she was shocked, and looked at the old sister-in-law in front of her carefully, but she couldn't recognize who she was, so she asked suspiciously: "It's Jia Baoyu again, I don't know how the master can recognize me?" ”

The old sister-in-law looked surprised: "Ah, it's really Bao Erye, you are really a noble person who forgets things, I remember a few years ago, Bao Erye and a little guy named Mingyan came to the next place, I don't know who it was to sacrifice, and I borrowed an incense burner from me..."

The past few months of imprisonment, coupled with the experience of more than one life and twenty-six years, made Baoyu have a feeling of being separated from the world in the previous life, and many details are not clear to remember, as soon as the old sister-in-law said this, Baoyu's head seemed to be struck violently with a mallet, as if it was activated all of a sudden, and suddenly remembered many past events.

Baoyu patted his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, yes... I remembered, 'Narcissus-an', I did come here, no wonder I was so familiar just now... Thank you for your hospitality, but I didn't expect to disturb you again today..."

Baoyu's mind began to immerse himself in memories, and the past was like a picture of activity, passing through his mind, remembering that day was Wang Xifeng's birthday, he and Mingyan came to this place, and gathered soil next to the well to pay tribute to Jin Chu'er, and expressed the guilt in her heart for her death.

Thinking of this, Baoyu couldn't help but feel guilty and sad again, the old sister-in-law seemed to see through Baoyu's thoughts, and hurriedly dusted off a bamboo chair next to the coffee table with the dust in her hand, and said softly: "Second Master Bao, after walking such a long way, you must be tired, let's sit down and rest first... Jinglan, hurry up and make tea, and prepare a table of good vegetarian food for Bao Erye. ”

"Yes, Master!" Jinglan responded respectfully, and pulled Jingzhu out.

When Jingzhu crossed the threshold, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Baoyu, never thinking that he just happened to collide with Baoyu's gaze.

Baoyu's heart moved inexplicably, this girl is not only extremely beautiful, but also very pure, so pure that it does not seem to be in the world, just like a daffodil that has just opened.

A trace of warmth suddenly rose in his heart, but then there was a kind of loss, now that he was in this situation, what qualifications did he have to get close to these beautiful girls.

"Second Master Bao, the matter of your mansion, I have also heard a little recently, the so-called 'flowers are not red for a hundred days, people are not good for a thousand days', you still have to relax..."After Baoyu sat down, the old sister-in-law also sat down on a chair opposite, smiling and comforting Baoyu.

Baoyu squeezed out a dry smile on her face, she didn't know what to say for a while, the old sister-in-law looked at Baoyu's expression, put the dust on her arm and wrist, and stopped what she was going to say for a while, she was a smart person, and felt that the words mentioned were inappropriate, so she stopped in time and began to find some irrelevant topics: "Bao Erye came all the way, the road must not be easy to walk, right?" ”

Baoyu chatted with her very politely, and after about a cup of tea, Jinglan and Jingzhu each came in with a large tray, and prepared a lot of food, Jinglan's tray was two plates of vegetarian dishes and two plates of dim sum, and Jingzhu was a pot of fragrant hot tea.

Baoyu is not a pretentious person, so he picked up the chopsticks and ate and drank, but after a few bites, he remembered his parents who were still exiled in the "Jinggu Tower", and those sisters who had died, and the delicious taste in his mouth suddenly became like chewing wax, and his eyes were moist.

But then he gritted his teeth and continued to eat, as if he wanted to be angry with anyone, and he bit the food fiercely, and ate the food on the table like a storm, and drank a pot of tea.

He suddenly looked up and found that Shitai and her two beautiful apprentices were staring at him in unison, especially Jingzhu, who opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

Baoyu was a little embarrassed, Mrs. Shi and Jing Lan both smiled understandingly, Jing Lan touched Jing Zhu's head and said, "Silly girl, don't be stunned, hurry up and clean up, so that Master and Second Master Bao can continue to talk!" ”

When Jinglan and Jingzhu sisters packed up the dishes, Baoyu sat down and chatted with the teacher for a while, and then thought it was time to leave, but then remembered the well platform in the backyard that commemorated "Jin Chu'er" that day, and suddenly had the idea of going to see it again.

Of course, things in the world must have a cause if there is an effect, and there must be a cause if there is a cause, and sometimes, it is difficult to simply judge right and wrong.
