"Baoyu, are you better?"

Inside the carriage, Mrs. Wang asked with concern.

Jia Baoyu replied respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, the child is much better." ”

Mrs. Wang listened to Jia Baoyu's words much more naturally than before, and she was really relieved, and took his hand and said: "Today we went to your aunt's house, your aunt has only been there for a short time, and when I see your aunt later, remember to say a few more words of comfort on my behalf." ”

"Hmm."

Mrs. Wang said again: "Your aunt also has two children, the eldest one is a brother named Xue Pan, and the younger one is a sister named Baochai. But they're all older than you, so you have to call them brother and sister, you know. ”

pity her son for not remembering the past, Mrs. Wang explained to him very carefully.

Jia Baoyu responded one by one.

Baochai, Xue Baochai. I didn't expect to see her so soon.

The wheels of the carriage "creaked" and turned, and the carriage soon entered the bustling town.

Jia Baoyu opened the curtain and saw that there were no high-rise buildings or highway cars outside. As far as the eye can see, there are gray walls and green tiles, and red lacquered walls.

In the market, there is an endless stream of pedestrians, and it is quite bustling.

Tea houses, wine shops, sellers, hawkers, all of them have quaint faces.

He sat in the carriage and looked at it, as if he had seen all the things in the world and the people of Li Min.

This sense of confronting history makes his heart flutter.

He knew that this was the famous Jinling City.

After about two or three cups of tea, the carriage finally drove into a slightly quiet place. Turning into an alley and walking a shot, the housekeeper Zhou Rui said outside: "Madam, it's here." ”

"Let's go down."

Mrs. Wang said, led Jia Baoyu out of the carriage, and saw a woman in her thirties with a face similar to Mrs. Wang, on the white stone steps in front of her, with a face similar to that of Mrs. Wang.

"Sister~"

With tears in her eyes, she pulled Mrs. Wang and personally helped her out of the car. Mrs. Wang also let go of Jia Baoyu early, clasped hands with her, and looked at each other eagerly with tears in her eyes.

The woman took the handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said with a forced smile: "Oh, look at me." Pan'er, Baochai, I haven't come up to see your aunt yet. ”

Then two people came up behind her, a young man and a girl, one bent over, the other bent down, and both saluted, "I've seen my aunt." ”

Mrs. Wang accepted it and said, "Baoyu, I haven't seen your aunt and brothers and sisters...... Baoyu? ”

Mrs. Wang turned around and found that Jia Baoyu was actually in a daze, so she reminded her.

Jia Baoyu turned his mind, took a step forward, and saluted Aunt Xue and the young man and girl in turn:

"I've seen my aunt."

"Brother Xue is good."

"Bao, Sister Baochai is well......"

When talking about the word Baochai, Jia Baoyu paused slightly.

Fortunately, others didn't know what he was thinking, so they didn't attract much attention.

After the ceremony, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang grabbed each other again, weeping and telling that the sisterhood had gone. Jia Baoyu took the opportunity to look at Xue Baochai secretly.

I saw that she was only twelve or thirteen years old at this time, and although she didn't have any bright colors on her body like Aunt Xue, she seemed to be born with a dusty temperament lingering around. The appearance is plain and light, and the appearance is beautiful, although it is not coated with grease powder, it is more and more delicate and moving.

The two petals of Dan lips are red without dotting, and a pair of eyebrows are green without painting.

The face is like the autumn moon, and the skin is moist and shiny.

The eyes are like water and apricots, hidden but not revealed.

Such a temperament and appearance are really rare in the world, and she is worthy of being the first woman in the top of the twelve hairpins.

Such a girl, I don't know how Jia Baoyu in the original book was willing to abandon it. If it were him, Jia Baoyu knew that he would definitely not!

Jia Baoyu was indifferent because of the first time he saw Baochai. Unbeknownst to him, the girl on the other side also paid most of her attention to him.

Half a month ago, Baochai heard from her mother that her aunt from Duzhong Rongguo Mansion was going to take her little cousin to Nanjing to seek medical advice, and she would definitely come to the house at that time.

Now that I look at it, although this cousin is not energetic, he is also safe and stable, where is there a trace of sickness? However, this was not the focus of her attention, because she found that this cousin had been focusing on her since she got out of the car.

Baochai didn't think there was anything too wrong, and people who saw her for the first time would pay more attention to her. What she paid attention to was that this cousin was born, very white, very elegant, and very good-looking...... It is completely different from his brother Xue Pan...... Seeing the mother and aunt talking hotly, I had no time to take care of him. In order not to snub her cousin, she stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Bao, I heard that you were sick before, but now you are in Da'an?" ”

"Thank you sister for your concern, I'm almost fine."

Jia Baoyu found that Baochai laughed, and there was a kind of affinity like a spring breeze.

Just when Jia Baoyu was thinking about how to continue chatting with Baochai, a piece of fleshy stuff was on his shoulder.

"Hehe, I've heard my mother talk about you a long time ago, you're here today, let's go, I'll take you to my study to play."

Jia Baoyu took Xue Pan's arm from his shoulder, and said without replying: "Thank you Brother Xue, I ......"

"Let's go."

Xue Pan didn't care about Jia Baoyu so much, and didn't care what he had to say, he directly put his arm on his arm and half-pulled him into the house.

......

The Xue family is a big mansion, and the front yard alone is three or four deep. Spacious and elegant.

It's just that Xue Pan obviously didn't mean to let Jia Baoyu visit, so he pulled him directly to his study.

"What do you think of my study? I only got it this year, and guess how much it cost? ”

As soon as he entered the door, Xue Pan turned around and motioned to Jia Baoyu to evaluate his new study and give an estimate.

He pulled him over, Jia Baoyu rolled his eyes a few times in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, and observed his study carefully.

This room is not too big, about fifty or sixty square meters, there are bookshelves on both sides, and there is a dark sandalwood carved wood case in the direction opposite the left side of the door, and the material is estimated to be good.

On the window side, there are three guest armchairs, and in front of the chairs is a small table with a complete set of tea sets and cups.

In the empty spaces and hollow places on several walls, there are also a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and some antique utensils are placed.

These Jia Baoyu don't know how much they are worth, but the two tall bookshelves are neatly filled with books, and there is no gap in them.

As far as Jia Baoyu knows, books in this era are precious things. This Xue family really lives up to the name of wealth.

"Guess what!"

Xue Pan saw that Jia Baoyu just didn't speak, and he was a little anxious.

Jia Baoyu said: "Looking at the appearance of your study, it is worth about two hundred taels." ”

"Two, two hundred taels? Baoyu, what kind of eyes do you have? ”

Xue Pan was stunned, and then he seemed to be holding his breath and couldn't get out in his heart, he said with a red face: "These things, not counting those books, I bought them myself, and it cost me three thousand silver!" ”

The book was moved from his father's study, so naturally he didn't need to spend any more money.

Looking at Xue Pan's indignant expression, Jia Baoyu smiled: "Yes, I'm talking about two hundred taels of gold, isn't it about the same?" ”

"Well, that's right, that's your fault." Xue Pan admitted his mistake very sincerely.

Jia Baoyu smiled, Xue Da Fool deserves to be Xue Da Fool, so easy to fool. However, considering that the gold and silver jewelry in later generations was calculated according to the value of "grams", this goods cost three thousand taels of silver just to decorate the study.

It's really a tyrant!

Standing bored, Jia Baoyu walked to the bookshelf and flipped through the book.

Xue Pan came over again, and saw that Jia Baoyu was flipping through a book, he made a gesture of a senior scholar, and said: "Well, Baoyu, the book you are reading is, oh, it is the Analects, it is written by the sage Confucius, it is about, it is about the story of his travels around the world, and, ......

In short, I've read all these books, just ask me what books you want to read, and I'll recommend good ones for you. ”

Jia Baoyu paused, closed the page, and looked at him like a "genius". He originally wanted to find two historical biographies to understand the era of the dynasty he was in, but he was also forgotten by Xue Panlei at this time.

Confucius wrote? Traveling around the world? Tale?

What's with what?

But when he remembered that the other party was Xue Pan, he was a little relieved. can recognize Tang Yin as Genghuang's strange thing, and it is nothing to say this "high theory".

Seeing Jia Baoyu looking at him, Xue Pan smiled quite incomprehensibly. In his opinion, Jia Baoyu, a teenager, knows something. No, he casually showed his hands, and he "bowed" to himself.

Xue Pan was complacent in his heart, took out the "Analects" that he had "instructed" from Jia Baoyu's hand and put it back, and said: "There are others, you can look at them casually, I can guide you, you don't need to be polite to me." ”

Jia Baoyu really picked up another copy, he wanted to see what else Xue Pan could teach him about "knowledge".

"This one, this book, I'll take a look......"

Xue Pan snatched the book from Jia Baoyu's hand, turned it over and looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, he happened to know the two words of the book's title!

"This book is called "Zhuangzi", whoever wrote it doesn't care about him, it's basically a story about a farmer raising fish in the north, there's nothing to see, you can change another book."

Xue Pan was very complacent, fortunately, he heard it when the teacher was teaching!

There are fish in the northern "people...... There are fishermen in the north!

That's probably what it means.

Jia Baoyu silently put down the book, and he felt that Xue Pan's knowledge was thrown to the ground.

"You're not watching?"

"Eh, Brother Xue is well-read, talented and talented, and the younger brother admires and admires!"

Jia Baoyu had no intention of "preaching" with him again, so he walked to the tea table and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.

Seeing this, Xue Pan's eyes rolled, as if he had guessed something, and he rushed to Jia Baoyu's side and asked, "Don't you also like to read these serious books?" ”

Jia Baoyu took a sip of tea, originally he had the plan to inquire about the history of the previous generation from Xue Pan, but now he didn't dare.

You know, no news is much better than fake news!

There was nothing to do left and right, so I was going to sit here for a while, waiting for someone to call in front of me.

didn't want Xue Pan to pull him to "preach and teach" him, so he said: "That's the case, the little brother doesn't like to read by nature, and there is really no way to compare with Brother Xue." ”

"Great!" Xue Pan almost jumped up with joy, and then realized that his identity as a "scholar" before him was inappropriate, and he calmed down again, but the excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

After a long while, Xue Pan suddenly said shyly: "Honestly, do you only like to read those books?" Well~? ”

"What book?"

Jia Baoyu's expression moved. Xu is also a boy, seeing Xue Pan's expression of being a thief and a thief, Jia Baoyu guessed seven or eight points.

"Hey...... You wait. ”

Xue Pan thought that Jia Baoyu was a fellow practitioner, so he looked outside and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he dodged and hid behind the bookcase. Squatted down for a while, and after a while, he came out with his hands behind his back.

"This is a unique book that my brother and I spent a lot of money to get, do you want to see it?"

After Xue Pan came back, he first covered the door of the room, and then returned to Jia Baoyu's side, as if offering treasures.

Jia Baoyu smiled. This is clearly the scene where the old driver's roommate abducts a pure teenager and enjoys the **** film together.

"Okay."

Jia Baoyu was a little interested.

Xue Panzhen took out the things he was carrying again. It's a booklet, not much bigger than a slap. The pages of the book were a little yellowed and fluffy, and Jia Baoyu had no doubt that Xue Pan often took them out to admire.

"Be careful, don't break me."

Xue Pan instructed before putting it in front of Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu smiled and didn't take it, just gently turned the first page.

The first page is very blank, just a few words: the secret art of the room.

Simple and straightforward.

Then I opened the back, and sure enough, I saw that it was full of "goblin fights".

Bedside, armrests, windowsills, gazebos. Looking at its shape, if the sword enters the sheath, it is like a dragon exploring the sea.

Jia Baoyu is happy, this ancient man's gameplay is not as simple as later generations think......

Of the twenty pages, Jia Baoyu only took dozens of seconds to turn through.

Except for a little novelty, there is really nothing else to remark.

Not to mention that compared with the teaching videos of Japanese teachers, even with Han Man, it is not comparable at all, it is very rough.

Xue Pan was very excited, staring nervously at the door, and then turned back to Jia Baoyu and asked, "How is it?" ”

Well, people are kind enough to share good things with themselves, and they don't want to chill other people's hearts. But if you say how good-looking it is, Jia Baoyu feels against her will, so she said: "Although Brother Xue's book is good, I have seen much more than the above." ”

Jia Baoyu said, pushing the booklet to him.

Xue Pan was shocked: "What, you also have such good things?" And a lot? ”

Xue Pan grabbed Jia Baoyu's arm excitedly and stared at him deadly.

The look in his eyes was like that of a prisoner for many years looking up to the light......

"It's nature." Jia Baoyu indifferently put him away, waved his sleeves, and the wind was light.

Xue Pan believed it immediately. People say that Duzhong is the first prosperous place in the world, although this cousin looks young, but after all, he is from the capital, and there is nothing impossible in this area to be wider than himself.

No, I finally managed to get such a good one, and I quietly hid it for a long time. This opportunity is not to be missed!

"Good brother, will you show me your good things too? I think you're a big brother! ”

Xue Pan held the chair Jia Baoyu was sitting on and sat down on the ground by habit, begging with a face. It seems that if Jia Baoyu doesn't agree, he will not be able to sit up.

Jia Baoyu didn't want this little fat dun to be so obsessed with this Tao, so in order to avoid him being entangled, he had to continue to lie to him: "But I put everything in the capital." Brother Xue should also know that such a good thing should naturally be hidden and appreciated, how dare he take it everywhere? ”

When Xue Pan heard this, he was suddenly like a frosted eggplant!

Sighing regretfully, he slowly got up, looked at Jia Baoyu, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help it, and said, "Then good brother, tell me, what kind of ...... are there on those you see?" ”

Xue Pan put his hands in front of him, stretching and rubbing to gesturing something.

Although he couldn't understand his gestures, Jia Baoyu could understand what he meant.

To be honest, in fact, Jia Baoyu doesn't like Xue Pan in his heart, and the typical most tasteless bully type of character really can't arouse his favor. It's just that the so-called person who doesn't stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling face, and now he is a guest at Xue's house, and he doesn't want to offend him plainly, how can he discuss "lace news" with him?

Just as he was about to find another reason to perfunctory him, a little servant came to spread the back to set up a meal, and asked Xue Pan to take him over.

Xue Pan had no choice but to stop fighting, hide his good things back in their original places, and take Jia Baoyu to the dining room.

On the way, he didn't forget to instruct: "Good brother, if I go to the capital in the future, you must show me your good things!" ”

"Well said, well said."

……

PS: Brothers, re-enter the Red Mansion, and everyone who can support them will go. In addition, the new book period is tentatively set for one chapter per day, about four or five thousand words......
