Chapter 403: Eldest Daughter
When she came back from the front yard, Jia's mother hadn't gotten up yet, and Mrs. Wang would be purifying her heart and worshiping the Buddha at this hour, and Jia Baoyu couldn't bother her, so she went back to the garden directly.
In the garden, after the sisters set up a kitchen in the Grand View Garden, everyone followed him and became much lazier than before, usually not getting up until the hour came.
So at this time, all parts of the Grand View Garden are very quiet.
Casually stepping into the spring courtyard, I happened to hear the early maid talking under the banana tree in the backyard.
A clear and immature voice said: "Sister Shishu lied, obviously she lost something, she had to say that there was a ghost over there!" Just now, she dragged me to accompany her, and I saw her lantern hanging on the bamboo branch, fiddling with the wind. ”
"How do I know, I obviously put it on the ground last night, and I can't find it when I turn around......"
"Okay, what are you doing with it on the ground?"
"I ...... I can't tell you. ”
"It can be seen that it's a lie, it's really hateful, just to trick us into playing, I don't believe that there are really ghosts, or why didn't I arrest you and steal your lantern?"
Three maids, one smaller complaining to the other to the larger one.
The one who was complained about was the maid who was scared by Jia Baoyu last night.
"Ahem......"
Jia Baoyu coughed and reminded them.
"Second Master Bao......"
When the three maids saw Jia Baoyu coming over, they hurriedly threw away their hands and bowed.
"What do you say?"
Jia Baoyu asked casually.
"Didn't say anything......"
"Back to the second master, Sister Shishu said that Zilingzhou used to be haunted in the mountain col over there! Stealing her lantern last night! ”
The little maid had no taboos, and directly shook the old bottom of the waiter. And with a tone and demeanor that someone lied and asked Jia Baoyu to criticize, the face of the servant turned red all of a sudden.
In fact, she thought it strange now that she thought about it, why did a ghost snatch her lantern. It's a pity that last night scared her miserably, and she ran back in a panic, and even covered the quilt when she slept, for fear that the ghost would chase her......
Jia Baoyu's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't doubt his meaning at all when he read the waiter's book, and he didn't take the initiative to confess, but said: "Well, the night is cloudy, and girls still don't go out much......"
Maybe Jia Baoyu's prestige is too high, and his words suddenly made the three girls nod their heads again and again. Even the little maid who had questioned the servant before showed a look of sudden realization, and she didn't feel a trace of apology when she looked at the waiter.
Well, Second Master Bao said so, it seems that what Sister Shishu said may be true.
I won't go there at night......
Jia Baoyu smiled inexplicably, no longer lingered, lifted his legs and stepped on the steps, and went to the spring exploration house.
The three maids in the back reacted at this time, and Cuimo opened his mouth and shouted "Second Master", but unfortunately Jia Baoyu had already gone away and didn't hear it at all.
She said, "The second master came to see the girl, but the girl is still sleeping......
"What are you afraid of, anyway, the second master and our girl are close. Let's go, let's go, it's time for us to fetch water and wait for the girl to get up. ”
"Okay."
Tanchun's room adheres to the atmosphere, Jia Baoyu entered the house and couldn't help but glance at the marble table in it, the layout on it was as varied and neat as ever.
After looking at it once, he turned his gaze to the boudoir bed near the wall to the west, Tanchun.
Of all the girls and young grandmothers of the Jia family, only Tanchun's room is not separated from the outer hall, the yarn cupboard and the bedroom, and even the beds where the maids who serve at night sleep together, but they are separated by screens.
Tanchun usually gets up very early, but Jia Baoyu thinks that she slept late last night, so she hasn't woken up yet.
didn't bother her, Jia Baoyu just tucked the quilt for her, looked at her sleeping red little face twice, and then left through the back door.
Tanchun hasn't woken up yet, and it is expected that the same will be true for welcoming spring and cherishing spring, so Jia Baoyu didn't go door to door, and remembered that Daiyu said that Xiangyun had broken his foot last night, so he went directly to Wuyuan.
To the Wuyuan, it seems that the fireworks here are heavier, it turns out that Baochai has gotten up and gone home.
"Did you wake up so early?"
Jia Baoyu muttered to himself, but he was not too surprised.
Going to bed early and getting up early has always been Baochai's style.
However, although Baochai is up, there is still a little beauty lying on her bed.
Xiangyun, the eldest girl of the Shi family, is also.
Jia Baoyu stepped forward and looked at the girl in front of her who had beaten the quilt aside, her shoulders were half exposed, and her jade body was crossed, and she couldn't help but smile on her face.
I heard that Xiangyun was not honest when she slept, and it seems that everyone did not wronged her at all.
Gently took the corner of the quilt and covered her body, so as not to catch her cold, and then, Jia Baoyu did not walk away directly like she did with Tanchun, but sat down beside her.
Xiangyun has a cute face, not as sharp as Daiyu, nor as round as Baochai, well, in general, a crystal clear baby face......
However, it was still just a child.
Jia Baoyu thought about it, Xiangyun seemed to have just turned twelve years old, a few months younger than Tanchun. In this way, he put down the little charm in his heart, and casually took a book on the bookcase next to him, which was obviously newly turned by Baochai or Xiangyun......
Almost at the same time, on the vast Grand Canal, dawn had just gone, and the river was foggy.
Two small boats walked on it, one of which was more delicate, and there was a closed compartment on it.
A woman stood at the bow of the boat, staring quietly ahead, as if she wanted to see through the fog to see the largest city in the world hundreds of miles away.
She was dressed as an ordinary folk girl, with black green silk scattered behind her, bound only by a rope at the back of her neck, and covered in cheap but unusually clean coarse cloth clothes.
Despite this, it still can't hide her graceful and slender figure about five feet long.
"How far is it from the capital?"
In the cabin behind the woman, a woman walked out, and she asked the woman in a trembling voice.
When the girl heard this, she walked out of her thoughts, and she suddenly turned her head and immediately revealed a peerless face!
The woman couldn't help but be moved.
She has lived for nearly fifty years and experienced some wealth, but she has never seen such a peerless appearance. In fact, she herself was very beautiful when she was young, and in her eyes, there should be few people in the world who can beat her.
Unexpectedly, when I was getting old, I found out that there was really a fairy in the world......
"Mother, why did you come out?"
When the woman saw the woman, a gentle smile bloomed on her face, she turned around and walked to the woman's side, thoughtfully hugged the woman, and then said: "It shouldn't take long to think about it, if my mother is in a hurry, how about I let them speed up the trip?" ”
"No, no, I don't matter, I'm okay, I'd better listen to your arrangement......
That, that ......"
The woman seemed to have something to say, but she was embarrassed.
The woman smiled: "My mother wants to ask about my sister, don't worry, she is very good now, Uncle Bao...... Bao Er Ye treated her very well. By the way, Bao Er Ye also changed her name to Xiangling, what does my mother think of this name? ”
When the woman heard this, tears immediately welled up in her eyes, and she said incoherently: "Good, good, just live, good ......"
Seeing this, the woman said coquettishly: "Mother, don't favor one over the other, people are also mother's daughters, or eldest daughters, don't forget it." ”
"Yes, yes, I remember, having a good daughter like you is a blessing that my mother cultivated in her last life......"
"Hehe, it's good for my mother to remember, I can't be wrong in the future, otherwise, something big will happen......"
"Know, don't worry, I won't."
"It's so nice to be a mother."
The woman snuggled in the woman's arms without any scruples, as if the other party was really her biological mother.
The woman couldn't help but gently hold her, and there was a hint of emotion in her eyes. Although it is a transaction, if you can really have such a gentle and considerate daughter, the rest of your life is enough...... Perhaps, it could be better......
She is about to see her long-lost biological daughter.
