Let's say that since he decided to prepare for the martial arts examination, Baoyu has been busy practicing martial arts during the day, studying the art of war with Daiyu at night, and writing a few chapters of "Stone Records" with Daiyu when he has free time, and his life has been busy and fulfilling.

Time flies, and the time of January flies, Baoyu is already familiar with the subjects and content that need to be prepared for the martial arts examination, and finally he can get a little free, and he only needs to take one or two hours a day to consolidate, which is more than enough to cope with the martial arts examination.

On this day, Baoyu got up early according to the habit he had developed in the past, and under the careful service of the attacker, after a simple freshening, he changed into a practice uniform, hastily ate breakfast, and went to the martial arts field to practice a turn.

After returning to Yihong Courtyard to bathe and change clothes, Baoyu changed into homely clothes and felt refreshed. Two days ago, I heard from the attacker and Musk Yue that Tanchun had come to Yihong Courtyard twice to look for Baoyu, and when he saw that he was not there, he left for a while. Remembering that she hadn't seen Tanchun's third sister for many days, Baoyu wanted to go to Qiushuangzhai to see her.

Passing through the moon gate and entering the courtyard, the plantain in the courtyard stands tall and tall, the body is rough and chic, the banana leaves are green like silk, exquisite into the painting, sparse like a tree, high and comfortable and weeping shade; The sycamores are tall and straight, the green leaves are sparse, it is really "drinking the dew, flowing out of the dredging trees, and the sound is from afar, not by the autumn wind".

Walking into the wide stone road, you will arrive at the door of the main house, and there are three golden characters of "Qiu Shuang Zhai" written on it. When I entered the door, I saw Cuimo sitting on the low pier doing needlework, Cuimo was about to report, Baoyu put her finger to her mouth and made a "silent" gesture, the maids and women had already been familiar with his routine, so they went with him, but followed Baoyu without making a sound.

There are three rooms in the main house of this autumn shuangzhai, and the spring is happy and broad, and these three rooms have not been separated. There is a big case of pear marble in the local area, and there are various celebrity laws on the case, and dozens of treasure inkstones, all kinds of pen holders, and the pens inserted in the pen sea are like woods.

On that side, there is a big Ru kiln flower sac, and a bag full of crystal balls is inserted in the white chrysanthemum. On the west wall, there is a large meter of Xiangyang's "Smoke and Rain Map", and there is a couplet hanging on the left and right, which is Yan Lugong's ink, and its word cloud: "Yanxia idle bones, Quanshiye career".

There is a big tripod on the case, and there is a large plate of a large view kiln on the red sandalwood frame on the left, and dozens of delicate yellow and exquisite Buddha hands are held in the plate. On the right lacquer shelf hangs a white jade flounder, and next to it hangs a small hammer.

Baoyu walked lightly inside, and walked straight to the edge of the bookcase, as if she were like a tanuki without making a sound. At that time, Tanchun was sitting in front of the desk and concentrating on copying Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, and he had entered the realm of forgetting things and me, but he didn't realize that Baoyu had arrived at his side.

I saw Tanchun with shaved shoulders and thin waist, long and tall figure, duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, literary essence, and forgetting the vulgar.

"The calligraphy of the third sister is really the essence of Master Yan Zhenqing, people often say 'words are like their people', 'self-denial and etiquette, dignified atmosphere, sincere feelings', these three words are very suitable for the third sister." Baoyu couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, when did the second brother come, why didn't they tell the book." Tanchun didn't panic, then put down the pen after writing the two pens, stood up and asked Baoyu to sit down, and at the same time ordered the maid to serve good tea.

The two sat down on the coffee table and chatted. "Recently, the second brother has changed quite a lot, and he is really impressed by the recognition of three days." Tanchun smiled. "Third sister, don't laugh at me, I'm also forced to be helpless, it's not worth mentioning." Baoyu said with a smile.

"Compared with the third sister, I'm ashamed of myself as an elder brother." Tanchun smiled heartily and said, "Second brother, where did you say this?" ”

Baoyu took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and then said: "Don't say anything else, just say that the third sister is the master of the family, and there is no one in our house who is not convinced."

The people all said, I originally thought that a third sister was added, and they all thought that she was just a young lady who had not left the boudoir, and Su Ri was also the most peaceful and tranquil, only three or four days later, a few things passed, and gradually felt that the third sister did not let Sister Feng in the fine place, but she was quiet in her words and gentle in temperament.

Sister Ping'er also said that the third sister is a girl's family, and she refuses to be angry, which is her respect - she is a coquette, and his wife has to let him divide it into two, and the second grandmother doesn't dare to do anything. You are so bold to underestimate her, but the egg hits the stone.

Even Sister Feng clapped her hands and praised, good, good, good, what a third girl! I said she's good... There are only three girls left, and they all come from their hearts. is a righteous person in our family again, and my wife loves her again, although her face is light, because it is Aunt Zhao's old thing that makes trouble, but her heart is the same as Baoyu...... Although she is a girl's family, she understands everything in her heart, but she is cautious in her words; She is more literate than me. ”

Hearing Baoyu praise her like this, Tanchun smiled when she heard it, and said humbly: "How can it be as good as you say?" It's good not to be scolded to death behind my back, I also chased ducks to the shelves, and I didn't dare to live up to the trust of the old lady and the wife, and forced it out. ”

Baoyu smiled and said: "The third sister should not say these empty words in front of the second brother, it will not seem like a foreigner for our brothers and sisters to talk like this." And even more absolutely, do you want to hear about it? "What else do you say, second brother, just say that since you take care of the house, you have never heard the words of being chewed behind your back."

The corners of Baoyu's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but smile: "The girls in the house are all spreading that the third girl's nickname is 'Rose'...... The roses are red and fragrant, and no one loves them, but they are just stabbing hands. It's also a Shinto, but it's a pity that it's not raised by his wife, 'a phoenix comes out of the old eagle's nest'. ”

Tanchun stood up after hearing this, raised two eyebrows, glared at two handsome eyes, and said angrily: "Second brother, the subordinates are disrespectful in their mouths, and they chew the nonsense of the root of their tongues behind their backs, and you also use them to tell me, do you think so too?" As he spoke, his eyes turned red. Baoyu knew that Tanchun was the most sensitive to her own identity, and hated people the most that she was born to her aunt, and Aunt Zhao was often not self-respecting, and no one in the house looked down on her.

Baoyu saw that Tanchun was in a hurry, so she hurriedly stretched out her hands and gently pressed Tanchun to sit down, Wen Yan said with relief: "Good sister, among all the brothers and sisters, Brother Xianzhu went early in the morning, and the eldest sister went to the place where we couldn't see anyone when we were young, and only the third sister You grew up with me since childhood, and among all the sisters in our house, we are the two dearest."

Besides, when did the third sister see me and have a concubine? Who doesn't know that among the sisters in this garden, except for Sister Lin, our brother and sister are the closest, how can I think like that? I just thought they had to be funny, and they just joked with my sister and set the mood down. ”

Baoyu was so comforted for a while, Tanchun is not a small-bellied chicken intestine, and at the same time, he felt that he had overreacted, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Second brother, I just used my temperament and said too much, don't take it to heart, I just hate myself for being a daughter, I couldn't get out of my wife's belly, and I had such an aunt and a bastard brother." ”

Baoyu waved her hand and couldn't help laughing: "Third sister, I don't know how many times I've persuaded you." Who says women are inferior to men? Didn't the third sister herself say, 'Who is the Xiongcai Lotus Society, only Xu Xu Mei; Don't you teach Yahui Dongshan, let the remaining fat powder?' The third sister also said,

'If I am a man and can go out, I will go early and make a career, and then I will have my own reason. I'm a girl's family, and I don't say a lot of words. This is what I want to say to my third sister today, sister, listen to the second brother slowly. ”
