Chapter 12: Baoyu

However, it was said that Wang Ziteng and Lin Ruhai had a secret conversation with Jia Zheng in the study for two hours, and Wang and Lin did not use their dinner, so they each retired. Jia Zheng sent the two away, and went to see Shi, I don't know what to say to Shi, the next day, Shi went to Wang's courtyard, and Wang said: "This child is called Yulai, then named Baoyu, there are treasures, there are some small disasters in the life, now I have people write Baoyu's name, sent to the house, the more the poor person, the more to give him a few more sheets, teach to read a few more times, the future will be easy to feed, the girl in the family, there is no need to call the second master and the third master, just call Baoyu." ”

Wang responded, and Shi said: "This child looks quite like his grandfather, I feel comforted when I look at it, it is better to take it to my yard to raise, you have Brother Zhu here, and you may not be free to take care of the family affairs in the future." ”

Wang really didn't want to do it in her heart, she gave birth to this brother in her thirties, and she suffered a lot of hardships, so the child was born with special love, and as soon as the child landed, there were a bunch of prepared nurses and mothers, and she didn't need to work hard herself. But now that Shi Shi has spoken, it is a good thing that her mother-in-law wants to raise her grandson, so she can't refuse, so she has to whisper.

Before Shi came, he had ordered someone to clean up the Bi Sha Gu in his house, and immediately ordered the nurse to hold Baoyu in his arms, and the group swung back to Shi's yard, and the girls and grandmothers followed Shi's arrangement, leaving only two nurses to sleep on the big bed in Bi Sha with Baoyu, Shi gave him the two second-class maids named Linglong and Jade next to him, and made several little girls take turns to keep vigil.

This night, Jia Zheng was unloaded from duty, and went to the main courtyard to rest, and the Wang family said that Shi had removed Baoyu, Jia Zheng said: "This is just right, this evil animal has caused so many things as soon as it is born, I am afraid that it will really affect my parents in the future, and now I am not in front of you and me, but I will be less idle!" ”

Wang didn't dare to say anything more.

So Na Baoyu stayed at Shi's place. He was about to be born, and he slept most of the time, occasionally waking up for a while, realizing the current situation, the Shenying waiter only felt angry and helpless - it turned out that he was killed by the Mu monk and the gray waiter, and then entered the red dust, and was born in the Rongguo Mansion, but he was born, who could tell him that the stone was originally sent to the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain by the real person he watched with his own eyes, why did it appear on him again? Is the Rongguo Mansion in this world exactly the same as in the previous life? The two of them sent themselves because they were dissatisfied with the ending of their previous lives, but what could they do? For example, now, I can't even shout with stuffiness in my chest, I can only howl and sleep tiredly.

In the past few days, the Shenying waiter, no, that Baoyu has also accepted his fate, and in his own heart, there is still a little bit of unfinished fate, only he was born, Sister Lin is a year younger than her, and now I don't know if she has been reincarnated. Yuan Chun and Yingchun he has already seen, sure enough, the eldest sister is still the appearance of the previous life, before Baoyu was almost brought up by Yuan Chun, even to give him enlightenment is also Yuan Chun, but it is only three or four years, Yuan Chun was elected to the palace to be a female history, only later Jin Feng Xiande Concubine went home to save relatives when they met, not even half an hour, since then, I have never seen it again, so calculated, in fact, among all people, he and Yuan Chun have been separated for the longest time.

This big sister now lives near, every day to see him, sometimes teasing him to talk, sometimes also read books and recite poems to him, this daily companion of the warm picture with the future miserable decay intersected, for Baoyu is a huge torment, see him rise tall building, see him banquet guests, see him collapse building. The problem is that he still doesn't know what the specific reason for the decline of the Jia Mansion is, and it makes no sense that all the families related to the Jia family have been wiped out, and this catastrophe must have been a long time ago, but it was not discovered. He lived again, and many things were clear in his heart, Jiao Da scolded Jia Zhen at the gate of the Ning Mansion, the internal struggle in the Rong Mansion, and the death of the old lady, but these were all superficial, as for the real reason, Baoyu sighed, glanced at the fingers that he barely raised in front of him, it was difficult to even grasp, and he was still so small, what could he do?

A hundred days have passed in a blink of an eye, because Baoyu was born in early summer, and now it is the hottest time, the heat is especially strong at noon, and even the cats and dogs under the porch outside have no strength to fight, only the trees outside can't stop screaming, the two nurses have milked Baoyu, coaxed him to sleep, and made the two girls fan him to watch him sleep, and then went to take a nap.

When Yuan Chun came in, the two girls couldn't sleep while fanning, and they were about to fall asleep little by little, and when they saw Yuan Chun, they hurriedly wanted to stand up, Yuan Chun waved his hand, signaling them not to make a sound. Looking at the bed by himself, he saw Baoyu with his limbs spread out, sleeping on his back, because of the heat, he was not wearing clothes, only with a big red belly pocket, the belly pocket was embroidered with Wufu, and the beautiful jade brought by the womb was hung around his neck. Because of the words engraved on it, "Don't forget, Xianshou Hengchang", Shi ordered him to carry it all the time. He is growing fast, he will gain weight if he doesn't see him for a few days, he is also strong, his arms and legs are round, and he is like a lotus root, and he will wave his hands from time to time when he is asleep, kick his feet, and mumble, as if he is unwilling.

Yuan Chun looked at it and just wanted to laugh, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and withdrew, and went to see his mother Wang.

Wang was lying on the beauty floor to recuperate, and since she was out of confinement, she took over the housekeeper again, and got busy, so that she could get rid of the sorrow that her son was not around. Seeing Yuan Chun coming in, he smiled and said, "Have you been to see Baoyu?" Did he sleep? ”

Yuan Chun said: "I'm sleeping, my younger brother is getting more and more white and fat." ”

Wang said: "He is at his wife's place, so he naturally takes good care of him, I will go to see him once a day now, your sister and brother live close, you should be closer and closer." ”

Yuan Chun agreed, and said: "Baoqin told me today, she heard from the egret next to her brother that her brother has been reading very well recently, and Mr. praised it." ”

Wang said with a smile: "Exactly, he has been studying with Master Li Shouzhong of Guozi Priest Wine since the New Year, and your brother did a good job in an article before, and won the praise of Mr., and Mr. also said that he would let him enter the exam this year." ”

Yuan Chun clapped his hands and said, "Then my brother is going to Toad Palace!" ”

Wang said: "This is also the credit of Mr., just after a while you will go to the warehouse with me, this Li sacrificial wine is introduced by your Uncle Lin, we will go and pick up some things to thank your aunt and uncle, and Mr. also needs to take care of the house, but also prepare for Mrs. Li, I heard that he has a daughter at home, who is also twelve or thirteen years old." They are particular about receiving and giving gifts, and you come to help me pick the elegant and unconventional one, so that we can show that we are sincere. ”

So the mother and daughter checked the ink, paper, inkstone, poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, added some clothes and jewelry, checked them properly, and ordered them to be sent in turn.
