After a dreamless night, Jia Baoyu slept very well, and woke up early the next morning refreshed.

Looking at the charming man who was bending over and making the bed, Jia Baoyu asked, "Do you understand?" ”

"Hmm."

The charming look was much calmer than last night, she turned around and knelt down and said, "Thank you for the second master's ......."

Jia Baoyu nodded, helped her up, and said, "It's okay to decide, if you are wronged or have any difficulties outside in the future, just come to me, master and servant, I will definitely help you if I can." ”

"Second Master ......"

The charming man burst into tears.

Jia Baoyu smiled lightly, patted her hand, turned around and walked outside.

Looking at Jia Baoyu's not very tall back, feeling his gentleness just now, the charming person burst into tears for a while.

If the second master before he was not sick could be a little less childish, and more heroic and charming as a man like now, he would not have agreed when his parents arranged his marriage last year.

And if the second master could speak last night......

It's a pity that I have to leave here after all, leaving this place where I have lived for more than ten years.

She was sold into Jiafu at a young age, and with her well-behaved and sensible, she was arranged by Mrs. Wang to serve by Jia Baoyu. She is four or five years older than Jia Baoyu, and before the attack was arranged by Jia's mother, she was the most powerful maid in Jia Baoyu's house.

Last year, her parents told her that they were able to help her redeem herself and that they would arrange for her to marry......

To be honest, before Jinling's trip, she didn't hesitate at all.

She didn't have the dream of flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, and it was her long-cherished wish to regain her free body and marry safely.

But after Jinling's trip, she saw Jia Baoyu's changes from beginning to end, and even after Jia Baoyu woke up, she was the maid she had the most contact with, and she hesitated......

She felt that she was sorry for her cousin.

Jia Baoyu doesn't know the whole psychological journey of Meiren. In fact, he has only known this maid for more than a month.

Now that she is going to get married, it is a matter of wishful thinking, and he will only be happy for her.

He got up early and asked about the attacker, a girl like Meiren who is not a child of the family, when she is old, her parents want to redeem her and marry, and Mrs. Wang and others will not stop her.

The matter of flattering people was shown by Mrs. Wang before.

Walking out of the door, the bright sunlight shone on the green glazed tiles on the opposite roof, shining brightly.

There are a few long bamboo clothes poles in the small courtyard, and a few little girls are drying the clothes and quilt covers that they have washed in the morning.

In the corridor, there were three or four bird cages, and four or five small birds were jumping up and down to eat and drink, sometimes chirping.

Everything seems so beautiful.

"Second master."

Xiangling and another big girl each came over with a pot of flowers, Jia Baoyu touched the leaves of the begonia flower in Xiangling's hand, and asked, "What about the attack?" ”

"Aunt Wu and Aunt Qian gave the old lady a lot of flowers, and the old lady didn't think it could be placed in the flower hall, so she asked us to go and rewarded these two pots. The attacking sister was still talking back in the old lady's house, and we came back with the flowers first.

By the way, second master, where should I put this flower? ”

The girl who spoke was Musk Yue, and she was also one of the big girls in Jia Baoyu's house.

There are many maids in Jia Baoyu's courtyard, about more than a dozen. The purpose of going down to Jinling was to cure the disease, so he only brought two raiders and charmers.

"You can put it wherever you see it."

Jia Baoyu asked the attacker to ask her to take her to Yingchun and the others. Since she was not free, Jia Baoyu decided to walk around by herself.

Before he could move, a few girls turned around on the side of the hallway.

"Second brother~"

It is the three sisters of Yingchun.

Jia Baoyu took two steps forward and said, "Second sister, third sister, fourth sister......"

Yingchun smiled: "I didn't see you in the old lady's house just now, and the third sister said that you might still be sleeping, so we came here to take a look." Now it seems that she has wronged you. ”

"It's still the third sister who understands me, but I know that the three sisters are coming, so I can't be too rude, so I got up early." Jia Baoyu said with a smile. He did get up late and didn't go to ask Jia's mother to say goodbye, because Jia's mother specially sent a maid over, saying that he was seriously ill and tired of boating, and told him to sleep more.

Such an opportunity to sleep lazily "under the order", Jia Baoyu naturally will not waste it. The attacker pulled him twice, and he didn't get up, so he was left to him.

"So, isn't ours disturbing your sleep?" Tanchun also joked, and then said: "But we didn't mean to disturb you, but we got your gift yesterday, and we came here today to thank you." Second brother, don't you invite us in to sit down? ”

"Haha, rudeness, second sister, third sister, fourth sister, please."

Invite the Sanchun sisters into the house, and the maids pour tea. Xichun was the first to ask: "Brother Bao, they all said that you have changed a lot after you got better, why didn't I find out?" ”

Xichun is only seven or eight years old, and the raw pink carving is very cute, and he is still childish when he speaks.

Jia Baoyu touched her head and said, "How do you want me to change?" I'll show it to my fourth sister right away! ”

"Hehe."

Yingchun waited for a smile, and Xichun was suddenly embarrassed to lean on Yingchun's arms.

Tanchun hugged the grievances of cherishing the spring: "The second brother has really changed, and he won't bully the fourth sister before!" ”

Jia Baoyu found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "Speaking of bullying, I think you are bullying me." said that he came to thank me, but he came empty-handed, and he didn't say that he would give a return gift or anything. ”

The three of them blushed when they boarded. Tanchun glanced at Jia Baoyu and said, "Don't worry, it will be your birthday in three days, and when the time comes, we will naturally have a return gift!" ”

Jia Baoyu was stunned.

Seeing this, Tanchun smiled and said, "Second brother, you won't even forget your own birthday, right?" The ancestor has already said that when you celebrate your birthday three days later, you will sing a big opera at home, and Lian's second sister-in-law also said that she has found the best opera troupe in the city, and three days later, she will have a good time at home! ”

Celebrating his birthday and singing a big opera, Jia Baoyu said that it was a little strange......

"Mrs. Aunt and Miss Bao are here......"

Jia Baoyu and the others heard the maid's announcement and hurriedly got up. Before I went out to greet her, I saw Aunt Xue walking in with Baochai, and said with a smile: "Where are you here?" What are you talking about? ”

"Auntie, Sister Bao, please take a seat. Xiangling, pour tea ......"

Jia Baoyu greeted, but Aunt Xue smiled and said, "It just so happens that you are all here, when we went to Beijing, we bought a few sets of stationery, and it is useless to leave them in vain." Thinking that you are all at the age of reading and writing, it is better to give it to you to play, one set per person. ”

Baochai went out and summoned two mothers-in-law, one holding two flat rectangular wooden boxes.

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "I just said that when I got up this morning, the magpie hanging outside jumped up and down non-stop, it turned out that something good came to the door." ”

Baochai took a gift box, handed it to Jia Baoyu, and said with a smile: "It's not a good thing, it's just to play with it." ”

Jia Baoyu already knew about Baochai's modesty, and with the wealth of the Xue family, the things that Aunt Xue personally came to send were not much worse.

Sure enough, when I received it in my hand, the material of the wooden box in my hand alone was quite good.

After Sanchun and the others got the gifts, they naturally thanked them again and again, and Jia Baoyu invited Aunt Xue and Baochai to sit down and drink tea.

Aunt Xue said: "Good boy, you play first, and your sister Bao and I will come to see you later." ”

Jia Baoyu knew that after they arrived at the house, the masters in each house would visit and take pictures, so that they could get along well in the future. Now I'm afraid it's not over yet, so I won't leave them.

After the Xue family left, Jia Baoyu saw that the Sanchun sisters had a radiant look on their faces, and put the gift box on the table to look at it. Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you open it to see what's inside?" ”

After speaking, take the lead in opening your gift box.

Xiangling and other maids hurriedly came over to take a look.

It is a complete set of four treasures of the study, which is very neat, and the pen, ink, and inkstone are very exquisite, and you can see that the price is expensive.

Miharu and the others also opened their respective gift boxes, and the contents were roughly the same. Tanchun took a look at it and exclaimed: "These are the four treasures of the top-grade study, I estimate that each set will cost at least a few dozen taels of silver......"

When Jia Baoyu heard it, he remembered it in his heart. He already knew the purchasing power of the world's silver, don't look at the fact that Tanchun and the others in the house are all young ladies of daughters, but the monthly money that can be freely used in a month is only two taels.

If this set of stationery is really worth dozens of taels, if it is not given by the elders, it will definitely be difficult to make up enough with their monthly money alone.

"Hey, third sister, do you mean something by saying this, saying that the gift I gave you last night was not heavy enough, far less than what my aunt gave?"

"How can I!"

Tanchun was very angry at Jia Baoyu's groundless accusations and threatened to beat him. Jia Baoyu also begged for mercy, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Tanchun said again: "I just think that my aunt's family is really rich, and she is generous......

Regarding the perception that the Xue family is rich, Jia Baoyu is clearer than Sanchun and others. Xue Pan, a little fat man, spent a few hundred taels of silver to buy a maid to give away, and he didn't even blink his eyes!

Therefore, compared with the generosity of the Xue family, Jia Baoyu is more concerned about the fact that these four sets of stationery are all the same color, and even the things inside are not far behind. For the Xue family's practice of treating everyone equally, Jia Baoyu feels very good.

......

Seeing off the Sanchun sisters, Jia Baoyu walked to Daiyu's room.

There were few people in Daiyu's room, and quietly, Jia Baoyu opened the curtain and almost bumped into a maid with a basin of water.

Jia Baoyu opened his mouth, he found this maid, he didn't know ......

The maid on the opposite side also looked at him, and said with a smile for a while: "Second Master Bao, can't even I recognize it?" ”

"Zijuan, who's here again?"

Daiyu's light voice came from the room, delicate and soft, very good.

"It's Second Master Bao here." The maid replied, and then said to Jia Baoyu: "Second Master Bao, please come in." ”

"Thank you, Sister Zijuan......"

"Ho-ho."

Daiyu's room layout is similar to Jia Baoyu's, with stone blue curtains and pink curtains.

In the purple gold tripod, the green smoke curls up, and the room is full of fragrance.

On the couch covered by tulle, a figure dressed in green was reclining.
