Chapter 412: Old People and Old Loves
Baoyu responded and asked him to go to Yihong Courtyard for tea. Xiangling said: "I can't at this moment, wait until I find the second grandmother of Lian, and come back after I finish talking about serious things." Baoyu said: "Why are you so busy with serious things?" Xiangling said: "It's important for your brother to marry his sister-in-law." Baoyu said: "Exactly." I only heard the noise for half a year, and now I say that the Zhang family is good, tomorrow I want the Li family, and then I talk about the Wang family. He didn't know what sin these people's daughters had committed, so that they could talk about it in a good manner. Xiangling said: "This is now decided, you don't have to move to another house." “
Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Whose family is it?" Xiangling said: "Because the last time your brother went out to trade, he went to a relative's house on the way. This family was originally an old relative, and it was a nominal merchant in the same household department as us, and it was also one of the best portals. Speaking of it the day before yesterday, both of you also know it. In the city of Chang'an, from the princes to the traders, they all called his family 'Osmanthus Xia family'. Baoyu smiled and asked, "How can it be called the 'Osmanthus Xia Family'?"
Xiangling said: "His family's surname is Xia, and he is very wealthy. Needless to say, there are dozens of acres of land to plant osmanthus alone, where the osmanthus bureau outside the city of Chang'an is his family, and even the bonsai in the palace should be furnished is also his family's tribute, so there is this nickname. Now the uncle is gone, only the grandmother lives with a biological girl, and there are no brothers and brothers, but unfortunately he is exhausted. Baoyu hurriedly said: "Let's leave him alone, but this girl is good, why does your uncle like it?"
Xiangling said with a smile: "One is the fate of heaven, and the other is 'Xi Shi in the eyes of lovers'." Back then, it was a family relationship, and I had been in the same place since I was a child. He said that he was an aunt and a brother and sister, and he was not suspicious. Although he has been away for the past few years, as soon as he arrived at his house before, Grandma Xia had no son, and when she saw your brother like this, she cried and laughed again, which was better than seeing her son. And let his brother and sister meet, who knew that this girl was like a flower, and she also read and wrote at home, so your brother was determined to see it at that time. Even the old courtiers and men in the pawnshop disturbed the family for three or four days, and they stayed for a few more days, and it was easy to leave the house before they were released. As soon as your brother entered the door, he begged our grandmother to ask for a kiss. Our grandmother had also seen this girl, and she was the right person, so she relied on it. I discussed it with my aunt here, Miss Feng, and sent someone to talk about it. It's just that the wedding day is too urgent, so we are very busy. I wish I had come earlier and added another poet. “
Baoyu sneered: "That said, but I don't know how to worry about you after hearing this." When Xiangling heard this, she blushed unconsciously, and said with a straight face: "What are these words! We are all respectful in the past day, and today we suddenly mentioned these things, what do you mean! No wonder everyone says that you are a person who cannot be approached." “
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away. When Baoyu saw him like this, he was stunned, and stood in a daze for a long time, thinking about it, he didn't feel tears, so he had to be listless and enter Yihong Courtyard. The night has not been stable, and the sleep is still calling Qingwen, or the demon is frightened, all kinds of restlessness. The next day, I was lazy to eat and drink, and my body became hot. This is all recently copied and inspected the Grand View Garden, chess by chess, don't welcome spring, sad Qingwen and other humiliation, frightening and sadness, and the external feeling of wind and cold, so it caused a disease, bedridden. Mother Jia heard this, and came to see it in person every day.
Mrs. Wang regretted her disagreement in her heart, because Qingwen scolded him too much. Although it is like this in my heart, it is not shown on my face. He only ordered all the nurses to wait for the good students to wait for the guards, and brought in the doctor twice a day to diagnose the pulse and administer medicine. After a month, he gradually recovered. Jia's mother was ordered to be well maintained, and it took 100 days to move meat, oily noodles and other things before she could go out and walk. In the past 100 days, he was not even allowed to come to the front of the courtyard, only laughing in the room. Forty or fifty days later, the sparks that bound him will burst into chaos, and there will be patience. Although she tried her best, Mrs. Jia Muwang insisted on not complying, so she had to give up. Therefore, he and those maids are everywhere, and they are laughing and playing at will.
I can hear Xue Pan playing wine and singing, very lively, I have married my relatives, I can smell that this Miss Xia is very handsome, and she also knows a little about Wenhan, Baoyu can't wait to see it in the past. After a while, I heard that Yingchun was out of the pavilion, and Baoyu thought of the sisters at that time, grinding their ears and temples, and from now on, even if they meet, they will not be as close as before. I can't look at it in front of me, it's really sad and urgent. I have to be patient and temporarily fight with these maids to relieve my boredom, and I am spared the difficulty of Jia Zheng's blame and persecution to study. In the past 100 days, only Yihong Courtyard has not been demolished, and these girls are lawless, and everything that is not in the world has been played. Now I don't need to go into details.
Let's say that after Xiangling robbed Baoyu that day, she thought that Baoyu deliberately abrupt him, "I can't complain that our Bao girl doesn't dare to get close, it can be seen that I am not as far away as Bao girl, and I can't complain that Miss Lin often cries with him, so naturally he is also abrupt." From now on, it is better to avoid him. “
Therefore, even the Grand View Garden will not be easy to enter in the future. Busy day by day, Xue Pan has married a relative, he thinks he has a talisman, and he shares the responsibility on his body, which is more peaceful than this, and the second smells that he is a talented and beautiful woman, naturally elegant and peaceful: Therefore, he is looking forward to the day when he is ten times more anxious than Xue Pan. It was easy to hope that one day he would marry after passing the door, so he was very attentive and careful.
It turns out that this Miss Xia is seventeen years old this year, and she is also quite beautiful and knows a few words. If you talk about the warp and weft of Qiu in your heart, you are quite following in the footsteps of Xifeng. Only suffered a loss, from the early death of the father when he was a child, and there were no siblings, the widow kept this daughter alone, pampered and doted, no less than a treasure, every move of the daughter, the mother was all with it, so it was inevitable that the pampering was too much, and it became a thief's temperament. Love yourself and respect yourself like a bodhisattva, peep at others like dung, have the appearance of flowers and willows on the outside, and have the nature of wind and thunder on the inside.
At home, I often get angry with the maids, scolding and beating hard. Out of the cabinet today, I think I want to be the grandmother of the house, I can't be shy and gentle when I am a daughter, I need to take out this majesty, so I can suppress people, and I see Xue Pan's temperament is hard, and his demeanor is arrogant, if he doesn't take advantage of the hot stove to concoct a rotten house, he will not be able to erect his own banner in the future, and he sees Xiangling, a talented and beautiful concubine in the room, which adds more and more the meaning of "Song Taizu destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty", and "the side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly".
Because his family has many osmanthus flowers, his nickname is called Golden Osmanthus. When he was at home, he was not allowed to bring out the word Jin Gui in his mouth, and anyone who did not pay attention to the wrong word would be severely punished. Because he thought that the word osmanthus was forbidden, he had to call another one, because he thought that osmanthus had been said to be Guanghan Chang'e, so he changed the osmanthus to Chang'e flower, and his identity was like this.
