Daiyu was afraid that the old lady would not think about it, so after scolding Li Mi for stepping back, she leaned over and put her arms around the old lady's shoulders, "My grandmother specially picked it for me, how can I not want it?" ”

  The old lady laughed and patted Daiyu's hand, "Don't say it, there should be someone like her by your side, so I can rest assured." For I was confused, how could the people in front of you be negligent? I'm still worried about the uneven distribution, so if you let it out, I can give it to others. ”

  The lotus root official gave it to Baoyu.

  When the old lady left, Li Mi came to Daiyu to receive the punishment, Daiyu said, "I never felt that people were still divided into three, six, nine and so on, but everyone has their own duties, these girls are originally singing, after so many years of practice, some of them are afraid that they are very deep in the play, and they should not stay in front of them to serve." I'm also afraid that she will come to life, just because it was given by my grandmother, it's not easy to resign, and now that you have resigned, it is also what I want, where is the sin? ”

  Both to the yard again, on the Qingming Festival, the weather is very good, Li Mi said to tell Daiyu to go out for a walk, stop and stop, unconsciously, walked to the vicinity of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, happened to see Baoyu, the two stood and talked for a while, they heard a mother-in-law shouting not far away, and suddenly saw a fire from behind the rockery to the sky, and suddenly scared the two enough.

  Baoyu hurriedly stopped in front of Daiyu, seeing that the fire was a matter of a moment, and heard a mother-in-law shouting more and more, "Lotus official, are you going to die?" How do you get some paper money to come in and burn? I'll go back to the grandmothers, and watch out for your meat! ”

  Since they were people in the treasure jade house, the two hurriedly went over to see that the lotus root official was squatting on the ground, ignoring the woman, with tears on his face and a sad face, and he looked like he didn't care.

  Daiyu glanced at Li Mi, Li Mi looked disdainful, and heard Baoyu negotiating with the mother-in-law, saying that he had asked the lotus root official to burn it, "To tell you: I had a dream at night, I dreamed that the apricot blossom god and I wanted to hang a blank paper money, I thought that there was such a big apricot tree in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in this garden, so I called her to help me burn it, so I got rid of my illness." I just told you to shout here, and I bumped into the god of flowers, I turned around and didn't feel good, so I asked the old lady to ask you to go! ”

  The woman hurriedly begged Baoyu, but Baoyu ignored it, and she begged the lotus root official in a low voice. The lotus root official wanted to coerce her to get up, and he had to drag her to go back. The woman walked away in disgrace, and as for how to say it when she returned, it must be another lie.

  The lotus official heard that he was going to give her to Daiyu, and he was happy for a while, but then he was rejected by Daiyu, knowing that Daiyu looked down on her, and saw that Daiyu did not come to her to salute at this time.

  Baoyu asked her who she was paying tribute to? The lotus root official said with tears in his eyes: "I don't know about this matter, except for the Fang official and the treasure girl's Rui official in your house. I met you today, and I have this meaning, and I have to tell you about it, but I am not allowed to speak to anyone again. He cried again: "It's inconvenient for me to tell you face-to-face, you just have to go back and ask Fang Guan quietly." After saying that, he walked away

  At this moment, another maid in the Baoyu house came to complain, saying that Chunyan's mother and the maid in his house had a fight. Daiyu was going back, but it was difficult to go, so she had to follow him to Yihong Courtyard in a hurry.

  It turned out that the Fang official recognized Chunyan's mother as a godmother, and these mothers-in-law were also happy to claim such a goddaughter, first, they didn't have any burden, and second, they could earn a few dollars of silver every month, why not? Chunyan Niang used Fangguan's money to buy a shampoo, and she had to wash Chunyan first, Chunyan looked down on her, saying that she had monthly money and refused to touch Fangguan's light, so Chunyan's mother washed her own daughter Dove and called Fangguan to wash it.

  Fang Guan is so arrogant, where is she willing to wash, saying that she is partial, "Wash me the leftover water from your daughter." You take all my monthly money for a month, and it doesn't count if you touch me, but you give me what you have left. Chun Yanniang was annoyed and angry, and scolded.

  The attacker couldn't hear it, came out to uphold justice, and Qingwen picked three or four on the side, Musk Yue came out to help scold, this woman is an old and spicy person, there is no master in Yihong Courtyard, no one is pressing, but it doesn't make a fuss, the partial Fang official did it first, and it started.

  When the two arrived, they saw that Fang Guan was only wearing a small begonia red cotton jacket, silk sprinkled with flowers underneath, with his trouser legs open, and his black hair draped behind his head, crying like a tearful person. Baoyu didn't feel distressed when she saw it, so she rushed over and pointed at Chunyan Niang and scolded, "These old women are all iron-hearted stone intestines, when they don't leave home, they are girls' families, pearls, this one is married, one by one they have become dead fish eyes, they are really dead fish eyes!" ”

  Daiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, that Chunyan Niang was unwilling, and was still quibbling, "One day, I call my mother a mother for life, and she calls me a mother, but I don't have to teach my own girls a lesson, and I can't teach a lesson." ”

  Qingwen shouted, "You have to teach her, you teach her, you don't wash her hair if you don't give things to her, we gave it, you still don't allow her to ask for it, saying that it is sassing you, what do you say to her like this?" Throw her out horizontally and vertically, and she'll be clean! ”

  For a while, the mother-in-law of the inner kitchen came in and said that dinner was ready, and Daiyu saw that the time was not early, so she went back. She only asked for the stove in the kitchen to make it, and did not eat it with the garden, a plate of spring bamboo shoots, a sea bass, a piece of bacon stewed in a cup of soup, Daiyu soaked a little rice and ate it, and rewarded the spring bamboo shoots and sea bass.

  After a while, Qian Xue came and said to Daiyu, "I met Bao Erye, and asked the slave maid to bring a message to the girl, saying that the person who paid tribute to the lotus official was the official of the lotus." Seeing that Daiyu couldn't hear it clearly, and Li Mi went down to eat, and Daiyu didn't have a mother-in-law in front of her, Qian Xue whispered, "The husband and wife who pretended to be with the lotus root official before, he himself is Xiaosheng, and the official is Xiaodan, although it is fake, those daily songs and poems are all really warm and considerate things, so the two of them are crazy, although they don't act, ordinary diet and sit-ups, the two of them are actually you and I love, and the fake is true." ”

  During the night, there were two drops of light rain, and the air was exceptionally fresh. Daiyu sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair, and Ying'er in front of Baochai came and sent a particularly chic small basket made of wicker, with flowers in it, and sent it to Daiyu. Daiyu saw the novelty, Ying'er had made a special trip to give it to her, so she accepted it and said, "They all say that you are skillful, and it is true, and I heard that you have a good connection, and you can teach my maids when you go back, so that they can also give me a few good-looking ones." ”

  Aunt Xue said on the side, "What is this?" Ask her to make up a few more for you, but she patronizes and is naughty on weekdays, where can she compare with the maid in front of you? ”

  Daiyu smiled, "Speaking of her naughty, are there fewer naughty people around me?" Then he asked, "Did you come to see your aunt and me?" Or is it for something? ”

  "When I got up early today, Miss Yun said that her cheeks were itchy, and she was afraid that she had apricot ringworm, so she wanted to ask the girl for some rose nitrate to wipe it."
