dream of red mansion

Chapter 251 The Sad Jia Baoyu
Daiyu just casually flipped through a few pages, then closed the book, and asked, "Is it all here?"

Seeing Jia Qing nodding her head, she sighed: "This is too much, from what it looks like, it probably has more words than Wu Ruzhong's "Journey to the West".

Besides, writing a book and talking about it is a very exhausting thing. How did the second brother publish a book without knowing it?

Also, why haven't you told us? "

Journey to the West has a full 82 characters, which was considered a huge book in ancient times!But Daiyu flipped through it roughly, estimated the number of words in this set of books, and was surprised.How did she know that this was only twenty or so copies after Jia Qing made several cuts.

Jia Qing said: "It's just a graffiti in my spare time, it's just to pass the time, who knows that I wrote so much, I didn't expect it earlier.

Besides, I thought, if the sisters are willing to take a look at it to relieve their boredom in their spare time, it will not be too late to ask the sisters to correct it after it is finished, and it will save you the pain of waiting for a follow-up after a long time. "

Daiyu thought for a while, then asked, "How long has Second Brother been writing?"

Pei Feng on the side interjected: "Second Master started writing four years ago, but at first he wrote some casually, and asked me to put it away in a box, it's this kind of box."

Peifeng pointed to the fir box on the table, and continued: "Later, the second master went to the Imperial College, and every time he came back, he would bring some manuscripts back, and I asked me to keep them all. In addition, there are"

cough cough.Jia Qing's cough reminded Pei Feng, and made her stop what she hadn't finished speaking.

In fact, besides this, Jia Qing also wrote a book, but there are some outdated parts that need to be revised.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu's mind was not here at this time, and she didn't hear the unfinished meaning of her words, but asked leisurely: "So, sister Peifeng has already had a sneak peek? Or is she the only spectator?"

Peifeng smiled and nodded with a happy and satisfied expression.

Daiyu no longer looked at her, but went to the side, flipping through the manuscript paper in the box.

"Are they all the manuscripts of these books? I don't know how much rice paper was spent on such a thick stack. It's thanks to my second brother's rich family that he can be so reckless."

Jia Qing smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to use cheap paper such as rattan paper and hemp paper, but I often don't fix it in one place, so that it is easy to carry, so that it won't be damaged due to poor paper quality, which is a waste of effort." .

Therefore, I have to be extravagant, and the left and right are just a little bit of money. "

Daiyu said: "I heard that the second elder brother has a good way of making money. The strange way doesn't care about these things. It's just that my sister has an unfeeling request and asks the second elder brother to agree."

"Sister, please tell."

"I look at the words on these manuscripts, which shows that my second brother's writing skills have improved over the years, so it's good for me to look at them. So, I would like to ask my second brother to give me these manuscript papers, so that I can taste them for a while. Brother Fan's masterpiece."

Daiyu's voice was a little erratic, and she didn't dare to look straight ahead.

Jia Qingruo didn't realize it and said: "If Sister Lin wants to read it, just take the newly made books here, why bother with those messy things, it's not convenient to read it."

Daiyu said coldly: "If the second elder brother doesn't want to, forget it!"

As he spoke, he turned around and turned his back to Jia Qing.

Jia Qing even said: "Where is it, if sister Lin likes, just take it, what is it worth?"

After finishing speaking, Jia Qing said to Pei Feng: "Put these papers away and send them to Sister Lin at night."

Peifeng could only respond.She was very unwilling to send out the manuscripts that she had collected and preserved for many years.She had always regarded these things written by Jia Qing as her own.

It's just that she knew she couldn't compete with Daiyu, so she went forward to tidy up silently, then closed the box and moved it aside.

Only then did Daiyu turn her anger into joy, and said a few words to Jia Qing, and the two rushed to Tianxiang Tower hand in hand.

When they arrived at Tianxiang Tower, Jia's mother scolded her first, and then asked, "Why is Baoyu missing?"

Jia Qing looked around, but he didn't see Jia Baoyu, and asked, "Isn't Second Brother here watching a play? I remember seeing him when I left."

Mother Jia didn't know when Jia Qing left, but Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "You still ask! I saw you two going out earlier, and he chased them out without paying attention. But now you are the only ones coming back.

If you don't tell the truth, where did you hide Brother Bao? "

Daiyu frowned slightly, not knowing that Jia Baoyu actually followed her out, but he didn't come to look for her, so he bluntly said that he never saw her.

So how can Jia's mother rest assured, she ordered Wang Xifeng to take someone to look for it.

Jia Qing said with a smile: "Why do you need to worry about the old ancestor? The left and right are just in this mansion, or they went to drink with Brother Lian in the outer courtyard, or they were stumbled by some scenery, and they will come back in a while. up.

If the ancestors are really worried, grandson, let someone ask you.With so many people in the mansion, someone must have seen it. "

Seeing that Jia Qing really sent someone to look for her, Jia Mufang sat down again and called Aunt Xue to watch the play together.
After a while, a mother-in-law came to report, saying that the second master Bao had gone back to the mansion with his young servant, and sent word to come in.

In this way, although Jia Baoyu didn't understand why Jia Baoyu went back suddenly, knowing what was going on, Jia's mother didn't worry about it anymore. Accompanied by Jia Qing, You Shi, Wang Xifeng and others, she happily watched the play.

In fact, Jia Baoyu really followed Daiyu's footsteps at the beginning.

Originally, he thought that Lin Daiyu was just tired of watching the theater, so she went out for a while and went back, so she went out with her, ready to talk with her to relieve her fatigue.

Unexpectedly, Daiyu didn't seem to come out to idle, but left Huifang Garden all the way.

In this way, Jia Baoyu hangs far behind, wanting to see where Daiyu is going.

Not long after that, I saw Daiyu walking into Yipintang with her maid, Zijuan.

At that time, he had an unconscious emotion in his body, and he felt a little unhappy, so he didn't go in.

Later, when Jia Qing went back to Yipin Hall by the second door, he didn't see him, but he did see Jia Qing.After thinking for a long time, he stepped into the yard.

At that time, none of the maids in Yipintang were in the yard, and the whole yard was quiet, except for him.Then, the cheerful chatter and laughter from Jia Qing's study made him fall into deep thought.

He thought, Daiyu was impatient to watch the play, so she went out quietly, not for a walk to relieve fatigue, but to talk to Jia Qing, which shows that Jia Qing is different from others in his heart.

I feel uncomfortable.

I thought about it for a while, except that Jia Qingqing was a little bit like his father's "heart of a beetle", but he was different from other "mud pig mangy dogs" in terms of character and intelligence.And like him, he respects Qingjing's daughter's family very much, and it is reasonable for Sister Lin to be willing to play with him.
The more I think about this, the more irritable and irritable my heart becomes, which is not as happy as it used to be.Wanted to go in and have fun with them, see what they were talking about, but just couldn't move.

He simply turned around and left the courtyard gate, thinking that he would wait for Lin Daiyu to come out, and then go to Jiamu's place with her.

Then, I saw a blooming osmanthus flower on the side of Yipin Hall, which was as tall as two people, so I went over there to enjoy the osmanthus.

It's just that Lin Daiyu is always in my heart.

Afterwards, he saw Jia Qing pulling Daiyu out of the courtyard gate and heading for Tianxiang Tower from afar, he was stunned in place, not moving for a long time.

The sound of the wind blowing on the treetops woke him up for a while, and he suddenly felt uninterested, and slowly walked out of the second door.

Seeing Jia Baoyu coming out of the house, Mingyan from the outer courtyard was a little worried, asked a few words but got no answer, and quickly sent Jia Baoyu back to Rongguo Mansion together with Jia Baoyu's other two servants who came to serve.

At the end of the day, I didn't forget to leave a message.
