The next day was April 23, and another day was Baoyu's birth.

Li Weijian went to the house of Zhan Chong, the imperial historian of the city, sat down slightly, and got some notes on the collection of current texts, and then returned to Rongguo Mansion.

Just entered his own courtyard, and heard Hongyu say that today's grandmother Rong has recovered, and invited the old lady and Wang Xifeng to go to Huifangyuan to play naughty, Baoyu was originally pestered to go, and when he went out, he bumped into the old man Jia Zheng, so he had to go to private school.

So only Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng went to Ningguo Mansion, and the rest of the girls who had not left the pavilion did not accompany them.

Li Weijian's heart moved, remembering that day Zijuan said that he had time to take a look at Daiyu, but now Daiyu lives in Jia's mother's room, and with this old lady watching, he is always bad and runs to Daiyu if he has nothing to do.

This is the right time.

After a slight groan, Li Weijian went to the study to rummage, took out a piece of paper and put it into his sleeve, and then took Hongyu and walked towards Jia's mother's house.

After a while, I passed through the weeping flower gate, and passed through three small halls along the verandah to the front of the main house, but it was the maid Amber who stayed in the hugging summer.

Catching a glimpse of Li Weijian, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Why did Fourth Master Jian come?" The old lady will go to Dongfu at this time. ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "I'm here to find Sister Lin to talk about it." ”

Amber said: "Miss Lin is in the back building this time, and the fourth master will go straight over." ”

Say goodbye to Amber and bypass the main room, and after the flower hall is the back building. Knowing the sound, Li Weijian raised his eyes to look at the past, and saw that at the window of the back building, Daiyu was leaning against the window, holding her cheeks with one hand and holding the scroll with the other.

Li Weijian couldn't help but smile on his face, and the Daiyu upstairs seemed to be aware of it, and after a slight glance, he met Li Weijian's smiling face.

Daiyu was taken aback, and then said with a smile: "Why didn't the fourth brother make a noise when he came?" It shocked me. ”

Li Weijian said: "Isn't this afraid of disturbing Sister Lin's interest in reading." ”

"What interest? It's just boring to flip through idle books, and the fourth brother will wait a while, and I'll come down. ”

Li Weijian bowed his head, and then went down to sit in the flower hall under the guidance of the maid. After a while, Daiyu came down with the two maids of Zijuan and Snow Goose.

At this time, it is about to enter summer, the weather is getting hotter, she has a white gauze skirt on her lower body, a water green gown, a lake blue bandeau inside, and a white jade bead hairpin obliquely inserted on her head.

Li Weijian glanced at it and said, "Sister Lin looks a little taller than a while ago." ”

"Really?" Daiyu asked with a smile, and then pouted: "But after more than ten days, where will you grow taller?" The fourth brother is used to coaxing people. ”

The two sat down, Li Weijian asked about Daiyu's daily life these days, and Daiyu only said: "It's all right." ”

The maid Snow Goose on the side couldn't help but say, "Where is it okay?" The girl has got the recipe of the thrifty fourth master, and she has eaten a lot more these days. ”

"Mouthy."

Zijuan also said: "The girl in Su Rili ate half a bowl of porridge, and now she can eat a whole bowl, which shows that the recipe of the fourth master is the girl's appetite." And all these days, the girl has never been sick. ”

The two maids said this, and Daiyu smiled and said, "It's strange to say, those dishes were not used to eating at first, but now, I still have some thoughts about not eating them for a day." Where did the fourth brother get the recipe? Can you have a name? ”

"Sichuan cuisine." Li Weijian is talking nonsense.

The history of this side has changed, and I don't know if there is still Huguang to fill Sichuan, and I don't know if Sichuan cuisine has taken shape at this time.

Daiyu was thinking about it, and Li Weijian said: "Ha, what I talk about is actually some dishes that I like to eat." A small amount of chili pepper can nourish the stomach. ”

Daiyu said angrily: "If the fourth brother doesn't say it, I still say that I have little knowledge." ”

"Sister Lin is so smart and well-read poetry, but she is not a shallow person."

Daiyu said: "Fourth brother Jian looked down on me, and I still read the book just now." ”

Xue Yan smiled on the side and said, "Guess the fourth master, whose book is the girl looking at?" ”

Li Weijian knew what he meant, pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to be ashamed, I clumsily stained Sister Lin's eyes." ”

Daiyu said: "The fourth brother of thrift is too humble to say this, the book of Condor Shooting is excellent, there are not only grudges in the rivers and lakes, the love of children and daughters, but also the family and the country." It can be seen that the thrifty fourth brother has his own splendid chest. It's just a pity that the rhetoric is short. ”

Li Weijian didn't care and said: "I made it when I was bored on Maoshan Mountain, and I didn't go to school at that time." ”

Daiyu suddenly smiled and said: "That's the case, why doesn't Fourth Brother Jian retouch it at this time?" Without waiting for Li Weijian to respond, she said again: "Yes, now that Fourth Brother Jian is busy with big things every day, how can he have time to do these trivial things?" It's just a pity that this book is written. ”

Li Weijian glanced at Daiyu and quipped, "Sister Lin is still here to make fun of me?" The poems that Sister Lin made in private are really good, and I don't see my sister Fu Zi. As he spoke, Li Weijian took out a piece of paper from his sleeve cage and handed it to Daiyu casually: "I said that I had an occasional gain some time ago, and I was about to ask Sister Lin to taste it." ”

"Oh? The two spring flowers of the fourth brother are all good, and this one is not bad. ”

She reached out and took it, unfolded the paper and looked at it a few times, then savored it again.

But I saw that it was a fisherman's pride: the March wind cut the flowers like a brocade, and the warbler cried red rain in front of the village. The peach blossom on the human face is on the guest. Hide shy, mist yarn fat powder. The belly is full of poems and books, and the ink is curling without a trace. Delicate and graceful. Flowers attack people, turn the bridge and meet you again.

Attached to it is a picking mulberry: spring peach blossoms bloom branches, and the dark fragrance remains. At the beginning of early spring, amorous should smile and tear with shame. The shades make the red spring breeze smell and provoke all the romance. How can he be skinny, and his life is ruined.

Daiyu finished reading, and a pair of smoky eyebrows frowned slightly. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, the fisherman's Aoli was biased and mentioned attacking people, and the attackers were originally surnamed Hua; After picking mulberries, it seemed to be talking about her.

"Fourth Brother Jian, these two words-" She raised her eyes and met Li Weijian's clear eyes. I was slightly touched in my heart, although I didn't say it explicitly, but the fourth brother was concerned about himself.

Her heart is both sour and iron. The sour thing is that under the fence, the father and daughter are thousands of miles apart, but there is only one Baoyu who knows the cold and knows the warmth and is often concerned, but he can be stubborn with his sister and sister; The ironing thing is, my father just casually mentioned that the fourth brother was so dedicated, and he didn't say anything about his illness before, but this time he saw his situation, so he used these two words to mention himself.

Daiyu thought that Baoyu was still young now, and she was still a naughty character, and she wanted to grow up after coming and going; As for Li Weijian, she felt a brother's concern from him. What's more important is that the fourth brother is thrifty...... I seem to understand her.

"—These two words are excellent, I'm afraid I can't write them."

"Haha, Sister Lin is not allowed to tell lies, I know what level this word is."

Daiyu smiled and didn't say a word, folded the paper and handed it back to Li Weijian, and was about to speak, when she heard the shouting outside: "Sister Lin, what do you want to give your brother when you give birth?" ”

When the words fell, I saw Xiangyun in red enter the flower hall, and when I caught a glimpse of Li Weijian, Xiangyun, who was walking quickly, was suddenly stunned, and said strangely: "Huh? The fourth brother is also there. ”

"yes. Coincidentally, I also came to listen and listen, but I really don't know what to give Brother Bao to Ming'er. ”

Xue Yan moved the chair, and Xiangyun sat down and said: "I gave my brother a scarf and hat, I don't want my second sister to give Qingyun scarf, it's always not beautiful to bump into one place like this, so I want to give my brother a fan." Sister Lin, what about you? ”

Daiyu smiled: "What can I send?" Xu is to write a few sour words to suit the situation. ”

Xiangyun bowed his head and looked at Li Weijian again: "Fourth brother Jian, what about you?" ”

"Hmm...... I'll send something unexpected, so that I won't bump into Sister Lin and Sister Xiangyun. ”

Hearing him say this, Xiangyun became more and more puzzled in his heart, and asked, "What is it?" ”

Li Weijian smiled and spread his hands: "Don't you allow me to sell a pass?" I will know tomorrow, Sister Xiangyun still don't ask. ”

"If you don't say it, you won't say it," Xiangyun pouted with a smile, got up and said, "I'll go and ask the third sister and the fourth sister what they send, and the fourth brother and sister Lin will talk about it." ”

After that, Xiangyun got up again and left in a hurry.

Li Weijian and Daiyu glanced at each other, and then smiled, and Li Weijian said: "Xiangyun's temperament is rare." ”

"yes."

After a while, seeing that dinner was approaching, Li Weijian got up to say goodbye.

As soon as he left, the snow goose in the flower hall said: "The fourth master is really warm-hearted, thanks to the recipe and recipe earlier, otherwise the girl would have eaten half of the rice and half of the medicine like Su Ri." ”

Zijuan was uneasy, she seemed to understand the two words, but she recognized the three words of flower attack. She invited Li Weijian to come to see Daiyu before, but she thought that Daiyu had no one to talk to in the past few days, and it was good for many brothers to talk.

Zijuan was born in Jiafu, so she naturally thought that Bao Dai would eventually become a couple, but she never thought that Daiyu would easily forget it, and this thrifty fourth master came to mention it again.

Because it is, he said: "There is enthusiasm, but why did the fourth master of Jian mention attacking people?" Isn't this another attempt to poke the girl's mind? ”

Daiyu frowned and said, "Isn't this word just going to attack people?" The fourth brother of Jian is good at writing a few words about Jing'er, but he wants to let him be attacked. ”

Zijuan hurriedly said annoyed: "I don't understand poetry, maybe I want to be bad." ”

Daiyu was hooked by those two words, so she said: "It's not good to talk nonsense in the future, won't it be a joke for people to listen to it?" ”

Seeing that it was time for dinner, Daiyu did not return to the back building, but only sat in the flower hall for a long time, and waited for the snow goose to come back with the food box, so she couldn't swallow some food.

…………………………………………

In the next day, it is Baoyu's son.

On this day, the whole house is like a festival, and everyone is full of joy.

In the early morning, congratulatory gifts were sent from all over the place. Daoist Zhang sent four congratulatory gifts in exchange for the name charm. Several temples and nunnery sent tribute Jian'er, the birthday star paper horse sparse head, and the natal star official changed the lock on the Tai Sui anniversary. The female ancestors who often walk in the family also come to the birthday.

Immediately, the Wang family, Aunt Xue, Dongfu, Mrs. Xing, Li Kun, and Sister Feng all sent congratulatory gifts.

The sisters sent all the things that should be in line with the situation, Xichun sent a painting, Tanchun sent a word, Yingchun sent Qingyun scarf, Baochai sent shoes and socks, Daiyu sent a poem, and Xiangyun sent a fan. Li Weijian sent the most heavy in the countdown, but this time Zi Baoyu was busy entertaining, and he didn't have time to watch.

Baoyu went to the front hall to set up the heaven and earth incense candles, burned the incense, finished the ceremony, laid tea and burned paper, and then went to the ancestral hall of the ancestral hall in the middle of the Ningfu Mansion to complete the ceremony. After that, I went to meet the elders of each house, and the four grandmothers.

After all the worships were over, Baoyu chased after Jia and asked Jia Mu how to arrange it today.

Jia Mu said: "How else can it be arranged?" I invited the troupe early, and a banquet was set up in the evening, so let's just eat the banquet and watch the play. ”

Baoyu suddenly said in frustration: "This was the case last year, this year we always have to change to a fresh one." ”

Sister Feng smiled and glanced at Mother Jia, and then said, "The old lady knows that Brother Bao has been looking forward to it since the morning, and she has her own proper arrangements. Yesterday, I told my sister-in-law Zhen and Brother Rong's daughter-in-law that I borrowed the garden today, and this banquet was placed in the garden. ”

"Okay." Baoyu became happy, and suddenly thought that she could see Qin Keqing again this time, and her heart suddenly became acute, and she praised again and again: "Okay, okay, let's go to Huifangyuan?" ”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Good girl, what are you in a hurry?" I will talk about it after the hour. ”

Baoyu scratched her ears and cheeks with joy, and the skin monkey was like, with anticipation on her face, and said, "I'll go and talk to my sister and sisters." ”

After that, he has to leave.

Jia Mu hurriedly stopped and said, "By the way, I will also inform Brother Jian'er." ”

"Him?" Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "The old ancestor sent Sister Mandarin Duck to inform him, why did he want me to go?" ”

"Your son, who will go if you don't go?"

Baoyu bowed his head and responded: "Okay, I'll go to find the fourth brother later." ”

Baoyu trotted out of the main room, and Jia Mu on the soft collapse shook her head with a smile. She is good at everything, but she is still young and doesn't know how to deal with people.

Brother Jian is so capable, and he will go straight to the clouds in the future. Two days ago, the eldest girl Yuan Chun brought a letter, and carefully inquired about Brother Jian'er, and outside the words, Brother Jian'er was often mentioned by the sage.

With the favor of saints, where is the future? Because Jia's mother is looking forward to Baoyu and Brother Jian'er having more contacts, and Brother Jian'er will take care of Baoyu a lot in the future.

Daiyu and Xiangyun carved it in Jia's mother's room, because it was Baoyu, they first went to find Baochai, and then told Sanchun, and finally arrived at the small courtyard in the northeast, and informed Huifangyuan about the birthday celebration.

Li Weijian immediately responded, and when the time came, he led the two maids, Hongyu and Xiuying, out of the Yimen, and together with Jia Mu, Baoyu and others, they went to Ning Guofu.

The old lady had her own charter for travel, and everyone took the carriage one after another. A few small ones were crowded together, and Baoyu was originally sitting with Li Weijian, but he was restless, and turned his head and squeezed into the carriage where Daiyu and Baochai were.

After a while, Xiangyun, who was pouting, got into Li Weijian's carriage and complained: "Brother Ai squeezed over, but I lost a seat." ”

Catching a glimpse of Li Weijian, she became happy again: "Fourth brother Jian, it is in the flowering period in the Fang Garden, why don't we go back and hold a flower viewing party." ”

Li Weijian said with a smile: "The flower viewing party has long passed, but I can hold a flower party." ”

Baoyu's birthday is wrong, and the previous article has been revised.
