dream of red mansion

Chapter 61
Jia Baoyu watched from the sidelines and saw that Jia Mu had indeed left Jia Qing behind, and said happily, "That's right, how nice it is to have fun with us. Second brother, you haven't been to my new yard yet. Come on, I'll take you to have a look. "

At this time, Mother Jia pretended to eat the taste: "I knew that you would not like to stay with this old woman like me. You find it boring, and you will leave after sitting for a while."

Jia Baoyu threw himself into Jiamu's arms when he heard the words, and said coquettishly, "Old ancestor~ how can we have it! The second younger brother really hasn't seen my new courtyard yet, I want to take him to see it..."

When Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, for the sake of convenience, she arranged Lin Daiyu in the green gauze cabinet in Jia's mother's bedroom, saying that she would arrange a separate room after the end of winter.

Not just after the new year, Wang Xifeng cleaned up a new house for Lin Daiyu.

He also thought that Jia Baoyu was not young anymore, and it would not be good to live with Jia Mu all the time, so he reported to Mrs. Wang, and got Jia Mu's consent, and tidied up a room for him in Jia Mu's courtyard.

Don't be surprised, the Rongqing Hall where Mother Jia lives is indeed very large and wide. In addition to the main room where Mother Jia lives, there are many small empty yards around it.

In fact, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun all live within the Rongqing Hall, but are a little farther away from Jiamu.

Jia Qing remembered that within a few years, Jia's mother would move Sanchun to the three small buildings behind Mrs. Wang's courtyard, leaving only Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu on the grounds that there were too many granddaughters to squeeze together. Honor Hall.

"Okay, I see. It just so happens that your mother and I have something to say, so you can go and play."

Patting Jia Baoyu on the back lightly, Mother Jia said kindly.

"Thank you ancestor!"

Jia Baoyu said happily.Then he got up and called the sisters to go together.

Jia Qing and the sisters then bowed to Mrs. Jia Muwang and others to leave, and then went out with Jia Baoyu.

It is said that they have moved to a new house, but in fact they just moved from Jia Mu's green gauze cabinet to a spacious bedroom on the left porch.

Jia Qing and others bypassed the main hall of Rongqing Hall and came to Jia Baoyu's small courtyard. They saw the words "Yiyunju" hanging on the main hall in front.

Jia Qing remembered that Jia Baoyu's bedroom in the courtyard before living in the Grand View Garden should be called "Jianyunxuan", and he wrote it himself, and then Qingwen hung it up in person.

Thinking of this, Jia Qing couldn't help asking: "Is there a new girl named Qingwen in Brother Bao's room?"

No wonder Jia Qing thinks so, Jia Baoyu moved out to live elsewhere, and it is normal for him to add some maids.Jia Qing remembered that Qingwen was Lin Daiyu's room when she came to Beijing and Xue Baochai came to Jia's house, so she asked this question.

Jia Baoyu wondered: "Qingwen? Who is Qingwen? Although there are several older sisters in my room, it seems that there is no one named Qingwen."

"Qingwen? I've heard of this name before. She is the maid in the ancestor's house. It seems that the old lady gave it to the ancestor by the old lady's birthday last time. Second brother has seen her?"

On the contrary, Tanchun may know more about the affairs in the mansion, and after hearing what Jia Qing and the other two said, he asked the question.

Hearing that Qingwen hadn't come to Jia Baoyu's room yet, Jia Qing couldn't help feeling a little happy.He really likes this maid who is ranked number one in the Twelve Beauties and Deputy Book.Although she will be given to Jia Baoyu by Jia Mu sooner or later, Jia Qing still hopes that it will be later.

"Oh, I haven't seen it, I've vaguely heard about it."

As he spoke, he directly stepped into Jia Baoyu's room.

Jia Baoyu's room really is the country of daughters.As soon as he entered the door, he saw seven or eight little maids surrounded by four big maids playing dominoes.

Seeing so many mistresses come in at once, I was a little dumbfounded.

Xi Ren, who was sitting beside him doing work, reacted quickly, hurriedly got up to say hello, and ordered the little maids to pour tea quickly.The maids just dispersed.

Jia Baoyu was a little embarrassed. When Jia Qing came to his room for the first time, he saw such a scene of maids being lazy, and explained: "There is nothing to do in this new room, so That's why they..."

Jia Qing said with a smile: "It can be seen that Second Brother Bao treats the maids kindly on weekdays. If the maids in my yard dare to do this, see if I don't punish them!"

Jia Qing said without shame.

But I don't know that no one of his sisters believed what he said. Tan Chun said: "Second brother likes to brag. Last time I saw the maids in your yard gather together to play shuttlecock. Isn't it more presumptuous than this? How are you, brother?"

Indeed, the servants of the rich family have very strict requirements, and they are not allowed to walk with wind.

"Is there? Oh, that's why I asked them to help me try my homemade shuttlecock."

Listening to Jia Qing's sophistry, the sisters stopped talking and found their own seats to sit down.

Jia Qing also started to look around.It has to be said that Jia Baoyu's house is much better than his in both the layout and the decorations in the house.

Those antique utensils look like real ones.

Jia Qing once privately took out some of the furnishings in his house and asked others to look at them, only to find that more than half of them were fakes!

"Second brother, sit down quickly, and then tell me about counting."

Seeing Jia Qing looking around, Jia Baoyu pulled Jia Qing forward and asked Jia Qing to sit with him, saying.

It is true that Jia Baoyu was not interested in arithmetic at all before.But after listening to Jia Qing's strange methods in the morning, I find it very interesting.Seeing that the sisters were still interested in listening, Jia Qing talked about the classic problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

"How did the second brother come up with these fantastic ideas? No wonder that Miss Xian'er wants to take you back for advice."

After listening to Jia Qing's detailed explanation, most of the people here are smart people, but they barely understood it.Then Tanchun said with emotion.

"what?……"

Shi Daiyu didn't know what came to her mind, she was about to ask a question, but stopped again.

Jia Qing said: "Sister Lin, just say what you have to say, and I will answer my questions for you if I can answer."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Daiyu blushed and said in a low voice: "I was thinking that Miss Xian'er lives there...Yanyulou, it's not a good place to listen to the name, second brother goes to that kind of place what……"

Although she is not sure that Yanyulou is a brothel, Daiyu has read a lot of books since she was a child, and she is naturally intelligent, so she knows where such names are generally used.

She said this, except that Xichun was still young and didn't understand.Tanchun Yingchun's face also slowly turned red, and Tanchun glared at Jia Qing.

But Jia Baoyu laughed from the side and said: "What's the matter, famous people have always been romantic! As handsome as the second younger brother, and full of talents, it is very easy to be favored by beautiful women..."

Jia Baoyu made a rare joke about Jia Qing.

Lin Daiyu spat when she heard the words: "Bah, you are not a good person!"

Jia Qing sweated profusely, thinking they didn't understand these things.It seems that he still underestimated the precocity of the ancients!

"Ahem, I'm just with friends...just with friends..."

Jia Qing didn't know how to explain, so he could only speak vaguely.

Although the sisters said they understood a little bit, at least they didn't dare to discuss it too deeply, so they didn't ask further questions for a while.

Jia Qing quickly changed the subject and said: "It's okay to be idle around, why don't I teach you how to play a game."
