Jia Baoyu came to the outside room with a smile, but saw that the atmosphere that was still very raw just now had become harmonious.

Six or seven quiet, lively, smart, or gentle girls were talking around a girl, and there were more than a dozen delicate maids standing next to them.

The atmosphere is quiet and beautiful.

Tanchun heard Du Qiuniang talk about some things about the health hall, and praised: "So Sister Du is now taking care of more than 800 orphans?" It's amazing. ”

She just felt it, but when she said the word orphan, she suddenly remembered Daiyu and Xiangyun, so she hurriedly took their hands to show that she had no intention.

Daiyu lowered her head slightly, her expression gloomy. Xiangyun didn't show much, she didn't even let Tanchun pull her, and continued to listen to Du Qiuniang carefully.

"Actually, it's nothing, I'm just helping adults take care of those girls, and there are more than 20 old and respectful old ladies in the house to help take care of them, so I'm fine.

Most of those children were brought back from Shandong by adults, and some were taken in after returning to Beijing.

Adults are broad-minded and have the people of the world in mind.

In order for the children to have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and live peacefully, the adults raised silver taels everywhere, built a school building in the health hall, and invited old gentlemen to teach the children to read and write, and worked hard.

That's it, the adults are not satisfied. Seeing that there are still countless children in the huge capital who have no fixed place to live and no one to take care of them, they want to expand the health hall, intending to include them in the health hall for support. ”

Du Qiuniang said, looking at Jia Baoyu who came over, with a look of adoration on her face.

Relying on her words and deeds, Baochai, Tanchun and others also cast expressions of praise and admiration on Jia Baoyu.

It's no wonder that they are so easily moved by Du Qiuniang's words, but because they all know Jia Baoyu's deeds and know that he has done several great things outside. Otherwise, the imperial court would not have let him become a high-ranking official at such an age.

Now Du Qiuniang, such an "outsider", has personally confirmed it, making their feelings more intuitive.

Also, they are all the daughters of big families, and what they see and hear in their eyes and ears is how those men are greedy for pleasure, and they earn money to go out and spend time drinking, such as Jia Lian, Jia Zhen and others. Farther away, such as those children of the Shi family and the Wang family.

Not even to mention the masters' families, their elders, those wives in charge, do the same, even if they occasionally give money and rice, they are only Zhouji Buddhist Temple and Nunnery

The only difference is Jia Baoyuer.

In this way, Jia Baoyu's image cannot help but be infinitely elevated in their minds, and they are all extremely proud to have such an elder brother (brother) in their hearts.

Jia Baoyu sat down and looked at Baochai and the others looking at him like this, but he smiled and said: "Don't listen to her put a top hat on me, how can I be so selfless, on the contrary, she is the most selfless one."

In order to help me do things, I subsidized the dowry and silver department that I had accumulated for more than ten years, and I didn't feel distressed at all, I was really a loser. ”

"Adult"

Du Qiuniang snorted coquettishly.

What, now she is a wife of the Jia family, what dowry has she accumulated

"Giggle." Most of the sisters laughed.

Xiangyun clapped his hands and shouted: "In the play, those who are slaughtering officials have a virtuous helper in their families, and I think Sister Du is the second brother's virtuous helper, giggles."

In one sentence, Du Qiuniang lowered her head, and the kind of shyness and infinite tenderness made Baochai and Daiyu squint, even Yingchun and Tanchun were also speechless.

Sister Du is so beautiful, no wonder the second brother can't help but bring her home.

Xiangyun's affection for Du Qiuniang increased greatly at this time, and she asked enthusiastically, "Sister Du, where are you staying tonight?" Why don't you go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion with us, I, Sister Lin, the three of us will be together, and there will be many people to talk at night. ”

Xiangyun's warm invitation.

Originally, Du Qiuniang was surprised that a woman could go out to help Jia Baoyu do things, but now that she found that people are still so good, she naturally wants to get acquainted.

She thinks that the best way to increase affection is for the little sisters to sleep together at night and whisper, and that feeling is the best.

"This"

Du Qiuniang glanced at Jia Baoyu and the attacker, and Jia Baoyu said before the attacker spoke: "She will live tonight, and I have asked the attacker to clean up the wing room for her in the east of the backyard."

Yun girl, your sister Du just returned home tonight, can't you just let her rest for a night? If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning. ”

Jia Baoyu accused Xiangyun of being ignorant, if she had been angry before, but now, she has long been used to it, but she feels that this is the way to get along with brother and sister. You don't talk in a twist and turn, and you can joke casually.

So he just pouted and didn't say anything more.

The attacker next to him glanced at his second master imperceptibly. The second master didn't blink an eye when he lied, where was it cleaned up in the backyard, just now they just added an extra quilt to Jia Baoyu's couch, and also instructed Xiangling to sleep outside tonight.

However, she did not expose Jia Baoyu.

No matter how long the gossip is, there is an end to it, and Baochai and the others are still determined to go back after all.

Before leaving, Du Qiuniang asked Xiaozi to take out the candy snacks that had been prepared a long time ago and wrapped them into gift boxes in exquisite cardboard and distributed them to Baochai and others.

She personally went to the best dim sum shop in the market in the afternoon to buy these things, so that she could return home tonight and give them to these sisters of the Jia family.

Everyone accepted the gift, naturally thanked them happily, and then left together.

Jia Baoyu sent them out of the courtyard gate, came back and sat on the kang with a butt, and took a long breath.

There are too many sisters and sisters, and sometimes it's tiring to deal with. Especially when he had good things, thinking about it, he set his eyes on Du Qiuniang in the house.

She knew her duty very well, and she didn't have the slightest intention of taking a big deal in front of the attackers, and she also took the initiative to do the work of the maids.

Qingwen saw that Du Qiuniang was going to come over to help Jia Baoyu wash her feet, she stood up with a smile, pushed Du Qiuniang and said, "Grandma or let's go, let's prepare a wing room for grandma in the backyard, this is what the second master just said."

Du Qiuniang blushed suddenly. Of course, she knew that Jia Baoyu was a liar.

"If you get rid of her, you'll take her place tonight."

Jia Baoyu's words made Qingwen dare not be strange anymore, and let go of Du Qiuniang in a sneer.

Then Jia Baoyu said to Xiao Zi: "Don't you wait for your young lady to dress up and wash her feet?" ”

"Yes."

Xiao Zi immediately helped Du Qiuniang to leave.

She was a little excited, although this was not the first time Du Qiuniang had slept in bed, when she was in Shandong before, it was almost like this every day, but she intuitively felt that tonight, it seemed different.

After Jia Baoyu washed his feet, he sat on the kang with a book and read it, and from time to time looked at Du Qiuniang, who was still grooming in front of the makeup mirror table in the corner, and pouted. Women are just more troublesome than men, even if they also have long hair

The rest of the maids in the room had already gone out, only Raiden, Qingwen, Xiangling, Musk Yue and Xiao Zi.

All of them seemed relatively silent.

Jia Baoyu certainly knew what they were thinking.

In fact, Jia Baoyu was just flirted by Du Qiuniang's charm in the morning, so she was asked to come into the house. In fact, where is he so hungry and thirsty, and he has not seen so many beautiful maids in the house, and so far, he has not been in trouble? It can be seen that his concentration is extraordinary.

It's just that now Du Qiuniang came to sleep in accordance with the order, and she dressed herself up so beautifully. He couldn't bear to disappoint the beauty, so he didn't let her go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion at Xiangyun's invitation. Yes, that's it.

I glanced down at the ruddy face, white and tender skin, and now even looks a little plump and cute.

She was squatting on the edge of the kang, holding a beauty hammer, and knocking his legs softly.

Jia Baoyu gently kicked her twice with her toes and said, "Stay tonight and serve me and my aunt and grandmother to sleep peacefully." ”

Xiangling raised her somewhat sleepy face, and said suspiciously: "But before the attacker's sister ordered, she said that tonight let my aunt and grandmother serve the second master to sleep and let me sleep outside?" ”

Jia Baoyu just said: "Listen to me, that's right." ”

"Oh."

Xiangling nodded.

Between the second master and the attacker, she can still easily tell who to listen to.

For a while, Du Qiuniang finally finished grooming, took off her coat, revealing a pale yellow gauze dress, which was tied around her waist, making her figure more and more graceful and charming.

Jia Baoyu smiled slightly, it seems that this little girl did work hard before she came

Raider, Qingwen and Musk Yue retreated very interestingly.

Du Qiuniang walked to Jia Baoyu's side, bent down to pick up the scissors, and cut the candle flowers short, so that the light on the kang became brighter, so as to facilitate Jia Baoyu to read.

Jia Baoyu closed the book, jumped off the kang, picked up her wrist, and walked inside.

"My lord, it's still early, don't you read books anymore?"

Du Qiuniang said with a blushing face. glanced at Xiangling, who was following Jia Baoyu, and didn't seem to understand why she didn't go out.

"It's good to go to bed early and get up early, I'm going to be on duty tomorrow morning, and I need to rest early tonight."

Jia Baoyu laughed.
