Chapter 93: Temple Fair
Baoyu waited for Jia Yun to come, but fortunately, on the second day, Jia Yun came, and it was Hongyu, the maid of Yihong Courtyard, who brought him here. He was waiting in the study outside, and Mingyan told him to come into the courtyard, and somehow he met Hongyu. Baoyu was like a treasure, and beckoned him in, "You come, do me a favor, you will save my life!" ”
Baoyu said to him, "You quietly, go out through the back door of the Pear Blossom Courtyard in the north, there is a street, don't let my father see it, you either throw this book away, or take it and sell it, and don't fall into anyone's hands." ”
Jia Yun almost couldn't lift this burden, he didn't have the capital in his hands, and he couldn't get it if he wanted to give Sister Feng a gift and get an errand to do. Yesterday I went to ask his uncle, but I got a lot of white eyes, and on the way back, I met the drunken King Kong, and got his silver, and I said that I would wait for the errand to think about it, and now this pocket book has been of great use.
Jia Yun was already overjoyed, and said busily, "My nephew still did this idea." It's just that Second Uncle Bao has to point someone to take me out! ”
Baoyu still called Hongyu, "You lead Yun'er out and go to the back of Lixiang Courtyard!" ”
The two of them walked away.
In the old lady's house, Daiyu and the Yingchun sisters, as well as Baochai, were making fun and telling some jokes. Xifeng came, and before he entered the door, he said in a string of voices, "Hey, it's still the old lady who is lively here, I heard the laughter from afar, what is so funny, the old lady didn't say that I would talk about it when I came!" ”
"You monkey, who else has a good mouth like yours, and you say it's funny?"
She came first, sat and talked for a while, Mrs. Wang brought a mother-in-law with a face, and asked the old lady to say goodbye, only to know that it was Mrs. Wang's mother's family, and it was Wang Ziteng's wife who sent her, saying that tomorrow was Mrs. Wang Ziteng's birthday, and asked the old lady to go to the house to have a good day.
The old lady said that she was not feeling well, so Mrs. Wang said that she asked Daiyu and her sisters to play. Daiyu wanted to say that she wouldn't go, but the old lady told her to go, "It's rare to go out, go to play with your sisters for a day, I'm lazy, what are you doing with the detention?" ”
Because the old lady didn't go, Mrs. Wang naturally didn't go, and Sister Feng couldn't go. Only Aunt Xue took Baochai, Daiyu and Yingchun sisters on the second day and went out in the car.
After arriving, Mrs. Wang Ziteng and the grandmother in front of the second door greeted them, and brought them to the main room, and the girls who were good with the Wang family came, after the birthday, Mrs. Wang Ziteng called Baochai, "Good boy, take your sisters to the garden for a walk, don't stay here, so that you are not comfortable." ”
Daiyu also knew that this was to talk to Aunt Xue and them, so she sent them away. After walking around the garden, Daiyu pulled Tanchun, "I want to take advantage of this time to go out for a walk, will you go with me?" ”
Tanchun was frightened when he heard this, "How do you get out?" If you go out, how will you get it? ”
"I'll just ask if you'd like to follow, right? You always say that if I can go out and buy something, I will definitely take you with me, and now I am going to buy it, and you don't have the guts. ”
"Who says I don't have the guts?"
Daiyu called out to Qingxu, told her to go outside to find Zheng Ping, and asked Lin Gui to send a carriage to pick her up. Zheng Ping heard that she was going out for a walk, but she didn't dare to tell Lin Gui, so she ran to tell Yun Zhen herself. It happened that Yun Zhen didn't go out of the city because of a slight cold, and recuperated in the South Third Institute, holding a book and reading.
When Huang Lu heard this, he was already trembling with fright, and knelt down with a puff. Because he has been with Daiyu for many years, he has a deep affection for her, and he is afraid that Daiyu will be too whimsical and displease Yun Zhen. After all, it is unimaginable that a deep boudoir woman actually said that she wanted to go out for a walk.
Who knows, Yun Zhen smiled, put down the book, and called Zhong Shun, "What time is the beginning of today?" I remember that there is a temple fair in Daxiangguo Temple every two, six, and ten? ”
Zhong Shun knew Yun Zhen's thoughts, and said with a smile, "No, today is the sixth day, it must be very lively!" ”
Yun Zhen got up and instructed Zheng Pingdao, "You asked the Lin family to drive the carriage and horses, and said that the three girls from the palace and the Jia family would take them out." He also instructed Huang Lu, "You bring more people, and escort the girls to Xiangguo Temple, and make sure that the girls are happy!" ”
He took a deep look at Huang Lu, and seemed to want to have something to say, but he didn't. On the contrary, Zhong Shun heard it, and the same two sentences that Zheng Ping and Huang Lu were instructed to, but the tone before and after was different, and what Huang Lu said was much gentler in the end.
Zhong Shun had the heart to mention Zheng Ping a few words, but he felt that it should be useless. It's all up to my own heart, and I really can't say that Zheng Ping is wrong. hesitated, but Zheng Ping realized it himself, and when the arrangements were made, he drooped his head and said to Zhong Shun, "Am I making my master unhappy again?" ”
Daiyu was worried about how to tell Mrs. Wang Ziteng, Zheng Ping came in, and after saluting Daiyu, he said, "Girl, someone came to the palace, saying that he wanted to see the girl and the three girls of the Jia family, and asked him to go out of the house at this time, and the carriage and horses are ready." ”
Daiyu didn't know why, and she didn't know what was going on, so she looked at Baochai, "Sister Bao, I'm afraid I'm going to be rude, please take me to tell Mrs., we are going to leave!" ”
After coming out, when Daiyu got into the carriage, the car was not going in the direction of the palace, she was inevitably worried, but fortunately, someone knocked three times outside the car wall. Daiyu hurriedly opened the curtain and looked out, only to see Yun Zhen's back, he rode a horse and ran forward a few steps, looked back at Daiyu, and ran away again.
"Sister Lin, where are we going? Did you really enter the palace? Tanchun came over excitedly, glanced out, and suddenly was very curious.
Daiyu couldn't help laughing, the so-called "people in the palace" are really true, but they are not as they thought before, thinking they are girls, so they said, "No, I don't know where to go, I only told them that we were going to buy something, who knows where they took us?" ”
At this time, Huang Lu came over, and said through the carriage curtain, "Girl, Uncle Lin Gui said, there is a temple fair in Xiangguo Temple today, the scene is very lively, and there are many goods, I often hear people say, it is 'rare treasures to play a hundred columns, precious things from all over the world gather, because the atrium can accommodate 10,000 people, business and travel transactions, all in it', Uncle Lin said, the girl is rare to have this interest, and it happens to be accompanied by the girls of the Jia family, why don't you go to see it!" ”
Not to mention the spring visit, even the sisters Yingchun and Xichun were also hungry at this time, and they gathered together, one said, "Oh, I didn't prepare any silver", and the other said, "There is still a temple meeting in Xiangguo?" It was rare for them to calm down, Tanchun clasped his hands together, and couldn't wait to bow to Daiyu, "In the future, I will look at your horse's head."
