Shen'er smiled and said, "I heard that person is also a side branch of the house, named Jia Yun." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoI'm four or five years older than the second master. It's ridiculous that the second master saw him and said, 'Like my son', this Yun Ye recognized the second master as his father at that time. ”

Daiyu chirped: "Phew, don't be ashamed!" As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh. Xue Baochai came over and pushed her: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look, we have to shame him face to face." Daiyu knew that Baochai had to make a look of sisterhood in front of people, and she also used her words to make fun of people, so she prevaricated: "Sister Bao go first, I was in a panic after a long time of arguing, so I won't go." ”

Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment with his handkerchief, and had to go out alone to Baoyu's room.

But he said that Baoyu was still depressed after making rouge paste in the afternoon, so he went out to relax with tea. Seeing that his master was unhappy, Mingyan had to come up with many ideas to make him happy. Baoyu still had a calm face, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed and said to Mingyan: "How do you know that I am unhappy in my heart? On weekdays, it is said that I am spoiled by old ladies, and the wives are in pain, how do you know that you can't suffer by yourself! ”

Mingyan didn't dare to answer, so she had to respond vaguely. Baoyu continued: "I envy the ease with which you come and go, unlike me, who is obviously a man, but he can't even get out of this city. When Sister Lin returned to Suzhou, I was left alone. ”

When Mingyan heard it, he realized that the crux of the problem was here, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. So he said: "I heard that Master Zheng is also going to Suzhou, does Miss Lin want to go back with the second master?" ”

Baoyu nodded, his face confused. He just wanted to beg Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother, so that they didn't agree with Lin Daiyu to go back to Suzhou with Jia Zheng to sweep the tomb, and he was afraid that it would make Lin Daiyu uncomfortable, so he had to let out a long sigh.

Mingyan glanced at Baoyu, his face showed great hesitation, and after thinking about it, he said hard-headedly: "The little one has an idea." ”

Baoyu glanced at him and said, "It must be a bad idea." So saying, he whipped the horse that had sat down, and ran forward.

Mingyan was suddenly embarrassed, reined in his horse and shouted, "I said I had an idea, but the master didn't believe me, and I couldn't." When Baoyu heard this, he reined in his horse, turned around, and said, "You speak first, and if you don't listen well, you will go back and get the whip yourself." ”

Mingyan rode up on horseback, and at this moment, a laugh suddenly came from not far away, and then someone said, "Where are you two masters and servants going in such a hurry?" ”

Baoyu looked around, and suddenly found that there was a person standing at the door of a shop on the street on the right, dressed neatly and heroically, it was Liu Xianglian. Baoyu was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly turned over and said, "Why is Brother Liu here?" ”

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "I just came back from the north, and the owner of this shop is an acquaintance of mine, so I came to catch up and have tea." I saw you guys as soon as I came out. Mingyan hurriedly came up to call Qian'er.

Liu Xianglian waved her hand and asked, "I just saw that the two of you masters and servants went forward with bitter faces, but what difficulties did you encounter?" Saying that, he put them in the store: "Go in and eat tea and talk, the kitchen in this house makes a good snack, and the tea is good with wine." The young man on the side took the reins from Baoyu and Mingyan's hands and led the horse to the backyard.

Baoyu looked up and saw that it was indeed a food shop. The three of them sat down at the table, and a guy hurriedly came over to serve tea. Baoyu didn't wait for Liu Xianglian to let him eat tea, and said: "Brother Liu must have had another extraordinary experience when he goes out this time, unlike me, although I am also a gentleman, I can only stumble at home." He let out a long sigh, his words full of envy.

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "There are also good things at home." You and my brother are in different circumstances, so there is no need to sigh like this. Baoyu stopped talking.

Liu Xianglian said: "Just now, I saw that the two of you were worried, but if you have troubles, I don't know if it's inconvenient to say?" ”

Baoyu blushed violently. Mingyan suddenly stretched his neck and interjected: "Our master's sweetheart is going back, and he is uncomfortable." Baoyu blushed even more, and scolded Mingyan: "Nonsense, slap your mouth!" Mingyan had to retract aggrievedly and hit himself in the mouth for a while.

Liu Xianglian nodded with a smile and said, "I understand." People's parents and brothers want to come to pick them up, and your father is reluctant, so ask the wives to beg for more money to keep people? How can you be so worried? ”

Baoyu blushed and said anxiously: "That's not the case. As he spoke, he had to briefly explain the ins and outs and hide Lin Daiyu's name.

Liu Xianglian listened, smiled and let them eat tea and vegetables, and then said to Baoyu: "So that's the case, but I took the liberty of it." Brother Bao must have been reluctant to part for the past few months, so he was depressed. Baoyu nodded.

Liu Xianglian said again: "This is also easy to do." I have an idea. Mingyan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stop beating his mouth and said, "I also have an idea, so I want to say it, but my master refuses to listen." Baoyu glared at him, and Mingyan quickly shut up. I only heard Liu Xianglian say: "Since my father is going to Suzhou on an errand, why don't Brother Bao go with him?" Wouldn't it be better to have both worlds while gaining knowledge along the way, but not having to endure the pain of lovesickness and separation? ”

When Baoyu heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he dimmed again, and cheered up and said to Liu Xianglian: "Brother Liu doesn't know, my father is most disgusted with me and refuses to work those economic articles, how can he allow me to go with me?" And my mother and grandmother always had to detain me by my side, and they would not allow me to go no matter what. ”

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "Not necessarily. Listening to what you say, you will know that your parents and elders love you very much, maybe you can persuade and make up your mind, and you can probably go. Baoyu stopped talking, still frowning.

Liu Xianglian talked about the scenery of the north and some strange people and strange things she encountered while walking outside. Baoyu immediately became interested, interjecting from time to time to ask, and the three of them said that in the evening, Mingyan looked at the sky, and hurriedly pulled Baoyu's sleeve to remind him that it was time to go back.

Baoyu was about to go to settle the bill, and Mingyan hurriedly took out the purse containing silver from his arms, but saw Liu Xianglian and said, "Why should you be like this between you and me." As he spoke, he instructed the shopkeeper, "It is still in my account!" So he sent Baoyu to the door of the store, and the man had already led the horse over. Baoyu saw that it was not early, and knew that he would be looking for him everywhere in the house if he went back late, so he turned over and got on his horse, arched his hand to Liu Xianglian, and hurried back with the smoke and smoke.

In the evening, after everyone had dinner and was gossiping, Daiyu leaned on Jia's mother and told Jia's mother that she wanted to go back to Suzhou to sweep the tomb. Although Jia's mother was reluctant, she didn't stop her, and remembered Jia Min's appearance when she was a child, hugged Daiyu and cried, so she ordered: "Go and ask the second master to come over." ”

Jia Zhengcai had dinner, heard Jia's mother's call, and hurriedly rushed over, saluted Jia's mother first, and asked, "Mother called her son, but there is something to order?" Jia Mu hugged Daiyu and didn't let go, and when she heard this, her eyes turned red and said: "You go to Suzhou to run an errand for the palace this time, so you will take Lin Yatou with you, and she hasn't been back to see it for a long time." You also went to Min'er's grave and put incense on the pillar for me, but pity my hard-working daughter, who went early! As he was talking, he couldn't cry anymore, and hugged Daiyu and cried.

Jia Zheng lowered his head, and his eyes were red and choked. When she heard that Jia's mother was crying so sadly, she hurriedly stepped forward to say good words and comfort. After everyone persuaded for a long time, Jia's mother stopped crying and said to Daiyu: "When you go back this time, you must do your best for me in front of your mother's grave, if there is anything to be embarrassed about, don't be afraid, just tell your uncle." Daiyu responded crying.

Seeing that Jia's mother's mood gradually eased, everyone hurriedly gaged and teased Jia's mother. Jia Zheng also thought of a way to make Jia's mother happy, and everyone was lively, Jia Zheng saw that Jia's mother had gradually become happy, and he was also relieved, so he said goodbye to Jia's mother. Jia Zheng was about to go out, when he suddenly saw that Baoyu was the only one in the room full of female dependents, and he suddenly became angry and shouted to him: "Evil obstacles! What are you doing here? ”

Baoyu was sad because Jia Zheng agreed to take Lin Daiyu back to Suzhou, and he was in a trance, and when he heard Jia Zheng scolding him, he was so frightened that his face turned white. Jia Zheng saw that his face was not good, he was obviously frightened, and he regretted that he was too strict with him. So he slowed down his face and whispered to Baoyu, "You come with me to the study." ”

Baoyu didn't dare not listen, nor did he dare to rub in, so he hurriedly followed, but he was secretly complaining in his heart: "If you call me over this time, you must have to reprimand me again." If I say something to annoy him, I want to go to Suzhou with Sister Lin, but how can I speak? ”

When he arrived at the outer study, Jia Zheng asked, "Where have you read all the books lately?" Baoyu didn't dare not answer, so he had to think about it for a while, and said: ""Xue", "Yong", "Two Treatises", and "Mencius" have only been familiar with it, and I have been reading "Zuo Chuan" and other books recently. ”

Jia Zheng reprimanded Baoyu in a casual manner, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Baoyu had grown taller than before, and when he thought of the early death of his eldest son, he couldn't help but feel pity. Thinking that he was immersed in government affairs, and when he took care of Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang and neglected him, he was willing to kneel down and coax his mother and wife to make his mother and wife happy, and he couldn't help but lose his heart of cold and disgust.

Thinking about Su Ri neglecting to teach him again, he asked little about everything, and every time they met, he couldn't help but criticize him, which was a bit too much. So he turned the bookcase, sat down on the chair, and told the servant to bring a chair for Baoyu as well, so that he could sit down opposite him, and said, "Since you have read the four books, you can probably try to make a few essays." I'll come up with a topic here, and you can write one for me! ”
