Baoyu went out of the Grand View Garden, met Jia's mother, and was ordered by Jia's mother to go over to ask Jia Yu (who lived in a single-door courtyard in the east of Rongfu). As soon as he left the Rong Mansion and was about to go to Jia Yu's residence, he saw Jia Lian, Jia Yu's son, who had already returned from inviting his father's An. Jia Lian was originally Jia Yu's son, but he lived in the courtyard of Jia's mother and Jia Zheng in Rongfu, which can be regarded as eating inside and out, his parents naturally guarded Jia Zheng and others for this son every day, which was regarded as raising Jia Zheng for nothing, and he was unhappy, but he didn't have to say anything.

Baoyu and Jia Lian greeted each other a few words. Jia Lian turned out of the person behind him, and Shi Li said, "Please Uncle Bao's peace." "Baoyu saw that this person had a long face, a long figure (the same as me), eighteen or nineteen years old (similar to me, I was thirty-six or seven), and he was born with a beautiful Sven (with me), but he was also very kind. Jia Lian said: "You don't recognize it? This is Yun'er, the son of the fifth sister-in-law who lives in the back street in the north. "Jia Yun is also a relative of the Jia clan, but he was defeated and lived somewhere north of the Rong Mansion.

Baoyu smiled and said, "Yes, yes." How did I forget. ”

Na Yun'er is cursive, but a generation lower than Baoyu, Baoyu then smiled and said: "I am about to go out, tomorrow you are free, come to the study to find me, tell you the heavens, I will take you to the garden to play." After saying that, he got on the horse, and the little servant followed him to Jia Yu's side.

When I arrived at Jia Yu's place, I just had a cold and was having a runny nose. Baoyu said the greetings that Jia's mother wanted to pass on from generation to generation. Then Jia Yu got up, stood under the kang, replied to Jia's mother's greetings, and asked Baoyu to pass it back (very polite, he has to be filial to his mother, otherwise the people of the whole country will laugh at him). Then Baoyu retreated and went to see Madame Xing.

Mrs. Xing is Jia Yu's daughter-in-law, so she pulled Baoyu to sit on the kang, greeted each other, and served tea. Before they finished eating, Jia Huan and Jia Lan (the latter is the son of Jia Zhu and Li Kun, Jia Zhu is dead, he is Jia Zheng's grandson) and uncle and nephew came together. Please go by, Mrs. Xing asked them to sit on the chair (the intimacy can be seen). Na Jia Huan saw Baoyu and Mrs. Xing on a mattress, and Mrs. Xing rubbed and caressed him in every way, and felt very uncomfortable. I thought to myself, I was born to my aunt (Jia Zheng's aunt Aunt Zhao), so I was not treated as a person. Jia Huan couldn't bear it for a long time, so he looked at Jia Lan and wanted to leave. Na Jia Lan is authentic - Jia Zhu is the eldest son of Mrs. Wang and Baoyu's elder brother, who died first, so he is the grandson and doesn't want to leave in a hurry, but Jia Huan is older than him, so he has to go along, and the two of them got up together and said goodbye to leave.

Baoyu is also leaving. Mrs. Xing said, "Don't, you sit down, I still have something to say." You two, go back and go back. There are too many people visiting the door today, and I am dizzy, so I won't leave you to eat. ”

So, the two of them said goodbye and went out.

Baoyu then said: "The eldest lady just said that she has something to say, what do you have to say?" ”

Mrs. Xing said: "Where is there anything to say, but to tell you to wait, let's eat together." "Hey! This didn't make Jia Huan angry.

Mrs. Xing said, "After eating, I still have good things for you to bring back to play." (Transformers or something.) ）

This Mrs. Xing, because of the power of Jiafu, was taken away by Mrs. Wang and her niece Sister Feng, and her son Jia Lian also passed with Jia Zheng, but it seems that she was raised by Jia Zheng in vain, and her daughter-in-law, Sister Feng, is also blindly chasing over there, and she has long been angry with Na Baoyu and Sister Feng or something. But staying here for Baoyu is so good, of course, this is to indirectly please Jia's mother.

After eating, Baoyu went home.

Let's say that Jia Yun followed Jia Lian and went straight to Jia Lian's room, sat down, and then inquired: "Uncle Lian, I told you a few days ago, please find an envoy to my nephew and me, now do you have a chance?" "This Jia Yun is poor, and wants to find a supervisor or something in Jiafu.

Jia Lian said: "There was something I wanted you to do (be the project director) before, but your sister-in-law (my daughter-in-law Sister Feng) begged me again and again and gave it to Jia Qin, who begged her." Don't worry, I'll give you another chance to do something. ”

When Jia Yun heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, although this Jia Lian was in charge of the family, but in fact, it was Sister Feng who was more in charge, so she planned to bypass Jia Lian and beg Sister Feng directly, so she said: "Since this is the case, then I will wait a little longer." My uncle doesn't have to ask my aunt about the situation for me today, I'll just wait. (He is not allowed to mention it to Sister Feng, so that he can go directly to Sister Feng.) ）

Jia Lian said: "How can I have time to mention it to her, I am very busy, and I have to go to Xingyi at five o'clock in the morning." If you come back in a few days, I don't have time to come early. With that, he went in and changed. (I have to change my clothes when I get home.) ）

Jia Yun went out, thinking that she had to be a little polite, and then she would beg Sister Feng. If you want to take it, you must first take it. So he borrowed fifteen taels of silver, went to the incense shop to buy ice musk deer (women's perfume), and came to Rongfu the next day.

Jia Yun inquired, and Jia Lian really left, so she relieved herself and walked into the courtyard. When I arrived at the gate of Jia Lian's yard, I waited for a while, and I happened to see a group of people coming out with Sister Feng in their arms, to see the old lady.

Jia Yun knew that Sister Feng didn't care about anything broken, what Sister Feng cared about was the scene and face, so she hurriedly lowered her arms and put her hands close to her sides, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, made a look of awe, and respectfully stepped forward to greet Sister Feng. Sister Feng didn't even look straight (she had face), she still walked forward, but just asked, "Well, it's okay, your mother is okay, why don't you come to us to shop?" ”

Jia Yun said: "She is not very good, she wants to come but can't come." ”

Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's really good at lying." ”

This Jia Yun and the Jia Lan just mentioned earlier are the only two people surnamed Jia in the future Jiafu who have some success after the destruction of Jiafu, this Jia Yun said: "My nephew is not afraid of thunder, so he dares to lie in front of his elders." Last night, she also mentioned her aunt, saying that her aunt was born weak (thin), and there were many things, and she was so energetic that she took care of it thoroughly. If it's a little worse, I'm so tired that I don't know what to do. ”

Sister Feng couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and said in her heart that this person's mouth is really good. Sister Feng has been conceited with this recently, she would rather be tired than lose, Jia Yunzheng said the right point, so she couldn't help but stop and asked, "Why is there nothing wrong with you two talking about me." ”

Jia Yun said: "There is a reason, a friend of mine, who opened an incense shop at home, recently moved to Yunnan, and some good incense could not be brought, so he gave it to relatives and friends." He gave me some borneol musk. I discussed with my mother, if it is said to be resold, whoever buys this with silver, even if it is a very rich family, it will only buy a few dollars and a few cents to reach the top. If you say that you give it away, no one is worthy of this, but you have to let him resell it (all for Sister Feng to grow face and fight for face). Therefore, I remembered that my aunt came, and in previous years, I saw my aunt's big bag of silver to buy this, and this year there is a matter of the concubine, so I think I have to buy it ten times more. Therefore, after thinking about it, it is appropriate to give filial piety to the aunt, so that it is not a waste of this thing. As he spoke, he lifted the brocade box.

Such a fifteen taels of silver thing, he said that it is more precious and powerful than ***. Sister Feng happened to be procuring this kind of thing for the Dragon Boat Festival, and after hearing these words, she was flattered and proud and happy in her heart, so she ordered Feng'er to take it. Then he couldn't help but praise and said: "Seeing that you know how good or bad you are, no wonder your uncle often mentions you." ”

As soon as Jia Yun heard that Jia Lian was mentioned, she was busy talking about finding a job, but she stopped being busy, thinking, I will mention the matter of the position now, but it makes Sister Feng seem that she can't see good things, so she agreed to send me for this idea. It seems that she is too indiscriminate. Don't mention that now. So he decided not to mention the words of the messenger. Then they casually replied a few light words and separated.

Jia Yun saw Baoyu yesterday and asked him to wait in the outer study, so he went to the Qifeizhai study outside the Yimen on Jia's mother's side. This is Baoyu's study, tea, tobacco, hoe medicine and other ordinary small people are here, about the study and they have not moved to the Grand View Garden for a while. I saw two people playing chess, tea, smoke and hoeing, and they were talking about it in order to win the "car", and there were four or five springs, sweeping flowers, picking clouds, and accompanying cranes, and digging birds on the eaves. Jia Yun entered the small courtyard of the study, stomped her foot, and said, "The monkeys are naughty, I'm here!" When the little guys saw Jia Yun come in, they knew that this was more or less a "master", and they didn't dare to do their jobs so badly, so they stopped playing. Jia Yun entered the study, sat on a chair, and asked Mingyan, "Second Master Bao didn't come over?" Although Baoyu lives in the Grand View Garden, she often comes to ask Jia's mother to say goodbye or come to this study to study.

Mingyan said, "I haven't been here today. Whether Second Master Bao is coming or not today, I'll inquire for you. So saying, he went out.

Actually, it's just that Jia Yun is more or less a "master", sitting here, hindering us from wandering here, so I just find an excuse to hide and play.

Jia Yun just looked at some calligraphy and paintings, and she didn't come back from a meal, and then looked at other little girls, and they all went out to play. was bored, only to hear someone outside the door softly called "Brother." When Jia Yun looked out, she saw that she was a sixteen or seventeen girl, who was born delicately and cleanly. I think she has an older brother who works as an errand boy in this study. When this girl saw Jia Yun, she pulled out and hid. Mingyan happened to come and saw the girl in front of the door, so she said, "Okay, okay, I can't find anyone." Jia Yun saw that it was Mingyan, so she rushed out and asked how it was. Mingyan said: "I can't find anyone to inquire for a long time." This is not right, this is in the Baoyu room. Good girl, you bring a letter, saying that the second master of Yun'er in the back street in the north is here. ”

When the girl heard this, she knew that it was the master of the family, not a foreign bastard, so she didn't avoid it like just now, and stared at Jia Yun twice with a dead eye, and then said to Jia Yun: "The second master should go home first, and come back tomorrow." I have time to tell him tonight (saying that he doesn't talk about Bao Erye, it seems that he has an identity, and it can be seen that Baoyu usually follows his subordinates lightly). ”

Mingyan said, "What do you say? ”

The girl said, "He didn't take a nap today, so naturally he had to eat dinner early." He never goes out after dinner. Therefore I will not come to-morday. Could it be that the second master is starving here? It's better to go home, it's serious to come tomorrow. If you're looking for someone to bring him a letter right now, that's useless. She just promised that she would bring it! (From her tone, she came from the Grand View Garden.) ）

Jia Yun heard this girl speak simply and pretty, so she wanted to ask her what her name was, but it was difficult to speak, so she had to say: "That's right, I'll come back tomorrow." So saying, he walked out. Mingyan said, "I'll pour tea." (Don't fall when you come, pretend to fall down at this time.) Jia Yun walked and turned around and said, "Don't drink anymore, I still have something." "Talking with her mouth, she saw that girl still standing there.

(This Jia Yun also has a heart of love and cherishing flowers.) The girl stood still, and did not secretly instruct herself. Alas, this is about meeting love, which is better than making friends on the Internet, and it is more exciting. ）

Jia Yun returned home, and the next day, she put on it again, and came to the gate of Jiafu again, and just arrived at the gate, she happened to meet Sister Feng again, and went to Jia Yu's father-in-law to ask for peace (every day, Jia Mu and Jia Yu were invited, and two hours passed). Sister Feng saw Jia Yun from the car, so she called someone to stop Jia Yun, and smiled through the car window: "Yun'er, you are so bold to come with me to make a ghost." No wonder you sent me something, it turns out that you have asked me, I just heard from your uncle that you begged him. ”

When Jia Yun heard this, she hurriedly smiled: "I begged my uncle, don't mention it again, my aunt, I regret it." (This is really bold, and he clearly said that he shouldn't have looked for Jia Lian at the beginning, and should have looked for Sister Feng directly.) Knowing this, I begged my aunt at the beginning, and now I have done it. Who would have thought that my uncle would not be able to do it. (What a bold man.) ）

Sister Feng smiled and said, "So you can't find him, you came to me yesterday." ”

Jia Yun said: "My aunt has failed my filial piety, I don't mean that." If you have this meaning, you didn't tell your aunt yesterday. Now that my aunt knows, I won't continue to beg my uncle, but I still beg my aunt to hurt me a little. (Meaning, yesterday's gift to you is purely my filial piety to you, not utilitarian.) Knowing that you already know about it today, I'll beg you instead. What a complicated meaning. Go be a diplomat. ）

Sister Feng sneered and said, "You told me earlier, what can't be done, how big it is, and how long it has been delayed until now." Flowers are to be planted in the garden, and you are responsible. This sneer shows that Sister Feng doesn't believe his words, knowing that he gave a gift yesterday, she has already begged herself, but she no longer entangles this point in her words to embarrass the other party.

Jia Yun hurriedly thanked her. Sister Feng didn't say much, so she ordered someone to drive away.

In this matter, Jia Yun begged the wrong person, and then begged Sister Feng instead, if the wording in the middle was inappropriate, it would be annoying at both ends, and it would not be possible to do it at all, but Jia Yun was very good at saying that Sister Feng happily did it for him. In addition, Sister Feng replied to use this Jia Yun, not because he valued his fifteen taels of silver ice musk deer, but because he could say that flattering himself was very to the point, and being able to say it was an important criterion for talents in Jiafu.

That Jia Yun got the messenger, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and went to the Yimen (Erdaomen) Qihail Zhai study to wait to see Baoyu, who knew that Baoyu went out to play in the Beijing Mansion again today. Jia Yun waited until noon, and when she heard that Sister Feng was back, she hurriedly ran to write the application form and handed it in. Sister Feng approved the pair of cards for him, Jia Yun took the pair of cards, went to the library to pay two hundred taels of silver, and then quickly repaid the debt, took out fifty taels of silver, and went to the gardener to buy flowers and trees. The rest of the money is about his salary and gray income.

But he said that Baoyu went to play in the palace of Beijing today, and in the evening, he returned to the Grand View Garden and entered the room, but there was no one. It turned out that the attacker was called by Baochai to knit needlework, Qiu Wen and Bi Jin went out to urge water, Qingwen went home to celebrate her mother's birthday, and Musk Yue went home to recuperate. Some girls who do rough work feel that they are not worthy of doing things in the room, and they feel that there is nothing to do, so they all run away and go to play. So Baoyu entered the house, but there was no one.

Baoyu wanted to drink some tea, but saw that there was no one, so he had to take the bowl himself, go to the teapot and turn on the faucet, and catch the water. Suddenly, someone behind me said: "The second master burned his hands carefully, let me pour it." As he spoke, he came over and took the bowl.

Baoyu was startled and asked, "Where are you?" Scared me. ”

The girl handed over the tea and said, "I was in the backyard, I came in just now, didn't the second master hear my footsteps?" ”

Baoyu drank tea and looked carefully, this girl was half-new, but she was delicate and very beautiful and clean.

Baoyu smiled and asked, "Are you also a person in my house?" (It's so strange that my own girl doesn't know.) ）

The girl said, "Yes." ”

Baoyu said, "Then why don't I recognize you?" ”

The girl sneered and said, "I don't recognize many people, but I'm the only one." I never hand over tea and water, take the east and the west, I don't do anything I see around the second master, where can you recognize me? (Second-line workers.) ）

Baoyu said, "Why don't you do what I see right next to you?" ”

The girl said, "It's hard for me to say this (because there is a line of people in the way, but I can't say it)." It's just one more thing, yesterday there was a second master Yun'er who came to find the second master, I guessed that the second master didn't have time yesterday, so he asked Mingyan to come back to him and asked him to come back today. I don't want the second master to go to Beifu again today. (It can be seen here that this girl is not at a high level, so she told Jia Yun that she told Baoyu last night, but in fact, she couldn't go up to talk to Baoyu at all, so Baoyu didn't know, so she made an appointment with Jia Yun again today.) Then why didn't she tell the senior maids to inform Baoyu? Because of this, she could only be scolded by the senior maids, and she took over such a thing on her behalf. ）

As soon as he said this, he saw Qiuwen and Bijin urging water back, and the two of them laughed and laughed, carrying a bucket of water together, and holding their clothes with one hand. The girl hurriedly went out to pick it up. Autumn Pattern and Blue Mark are complaining to each other: "You wet my skirt, I stepped on your shoes." Suddenly, someone came out to fetch water, and when I saw it, it was none other than Hongyu. Both of them were surprised, and hurriedly put down the water, went into the room and looked around, and saw that there was no one else, only Baoyu. So the two poured water for Baoyu, helped Baoyu take off her clothes, and let Baoyu go in to take a bath, and then came out. He walked to the side room, found Hongyu, and asked her what she had just said in the house.

Ruby said, "How have I been in the house? I'm looking for my handkerchief missing. I just heard the second master shouting to drink tea, calling the sisters, and no one answered, so I went in, poured the tea, and the sisters came back. ”

When Qiu Wen heard this, he spat on his face: "Phew! Shameless nasty thing! Seriously asked you to urge water, you said that you would not go if there was something, but asked us to go, and you waited to do this clever thing. Step by step, this doesn't just come up. Can't we keep up with you? You also take a mirror and look at it, and hand out tea and water! ”

Bichen said: "Ming'er, I told them, let's not move anything about handing over tea, water and things, just ask her to go." ”

Qiu Wen said, "In this way, why don't we go home and leave her in this house." ”

The two of you have a sentence, I have a sentence, and there is a legend from Sister Feng's side: "Notice, someone will come into the garden to plant flowers and trees tomorrow (start work quickly), don't run around, bump (bumping into a man is uncivilized)." And underwear or something, don't be cold outside. The notification is over. ”

Autumn Mono asked, "Who will bring the tree planting?" ”

The messenger said: "It's the back street in the north, what Brother Yun." ”

When the red jade heard this, she knew in her heart that it was the person she met in the study yesterday.

This red jade, her father and mother are the slaves who do things in Jiafu, so she belongs to the family-born slaves, this kind of family-born slaves, according to the regulations of the government at the time, are to be slaves for a lifetime, and their status is lower than that of the girls and boys bought outside, because the latter can be redeemed after the expiration of the term (parents just pay the birth price), but the family-born slaves are slaves for life. Because Baoyu moved to Yihong Courtyard, Baoyu didn't recognize her, and she was not recognized, and she was a second-line employee, so she was not allowed to hand over tea and water, let alone recognize it. Because Hongyu does have three points of appearance, she always thinks about climbing up. always has to show off in front of Baoyu, but the people around Baoyu are all so sharp and clawed, where can she intervene. I just had a little progress and eyebrows today, and I was immediately scolded by Qiu Wen again, and my heart was half gray. But at this moment, when I heard the person who conveyed it talk about Jia Yun, I didn't feel my heart move. That Jia Yun can be regarded as a "master" surnamed Jia, and now he has entered the family "management".

After Hongyu was scolded (this autumn pattern is the most scolding one among the maids around Baoyu), she went back to the dormitory and lay sullenly, secretly calculating, turning around. Let's listen to the next breakdown.
