The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 122 Attentive and Baoyu Busy
It turned out that because there was no Madam Wang at home, these little girls became more unscrupulous because of Baoyu's birthday. Seeing that the girls in each room had a few more glasses of wine, they all went back to rest, and they gathered in groups of three or four to play.Xiangling took Ruiguan, Douguan, and Baoqin's girl Xiaoluo who stayed in Jia's house, and they played around the garden for a while, and suddenly wanted to pick flowers and fight weeds.

Ruiguan and these little opera singers don't look young, but they learn to sing about love between men and women every day, love between men and women, and they don't have a taboo about talking to Xiangling, so they often make fun of her.

Xiangling is soft-tempered, but she couldn't help what Ruiguan and others called embarrassing people, so she grabbed her hands and wanted to pinch them, but the girls refused to show weakness, and pushed Xiangling rolling in the puddle together.

The puddle brought by the accumulated rain is next to the rockery, and Xiuyan is turning forward with Meilian and Miying from behind. On Xiuyan's calf?
The little girls headed by Rui Guan knew that they had gotten into trouble, and subconsciously wanted to escape.

Meilian grabbed one of them with one hand, pushed down Ruiguan first, and was about to scold her, Meiying hurriedly said: "It's important to see the girls first, when will they not be able to clean up?"

The faces of Ruiguan and the others became paler, and Xiangling was even more confused. She made Miss Xing a meat pad, and if Aunt Xue found out, she would have to expose herself!Even if Miss Bao knew, she wouldn't let her off lightly!
Xiuyan tried to rub her calf, although it hurt a little, but it was not as serious as imagined.This is also because Xiangling is slightly lighter, and she fell down along her calf and sat down, instead of her whole body being pressed against her bones and joints.

Xiangling was sobbing so pitifully that she couldn't even utter a coherent sentence, so she could only keep calling "Miss Xing".

With the support of Meilian and Miying, Xiuyan stood up reluctantly, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, and you didn't mean it, but these girls are hateful, but they pushed you?"

Seeing that Fang Guan was behind Xing Xiuyan, Rui Guan thought that he had a mother's family to talk to, so he bravely laughed and said: "Look what the girl said? We played well with Xiang Ling, why did you touch her hair? Xiangling made a fuss by herself, and accidentally fell into the puddle. We kindly came to help her!"

Everyone knows that Xiangling is talkative, and the young lady of the Xing family may find it difficult for Xiangling because of Miss Bao and Aunt Xue's face, so why don't everyone just blame Xiangling for their faults?
Ruiguan and Xiaoluo looked at Xiangling with pleading faces.

Although Xiangling was wronged, everyone used to live in the garden on weekdays, and they looked down and saw each other. A few days ago, she and the girl went out of the garden to go home, and they separated from Rui Guan. If they don't worry about them now From now on, I'm afraid that no one will see me after being charged with crimes!
But she took it all on, and Xiangling was also afraid that the news would leak out, and it would be difficult to explain to Aunt Xue.

When he was full of hesitation, Baoyu appeared behind the willow tree at some time, with his hands wrapped around the front of his clothes, which were full of flowers and plants.

"Sister Xing, don't be angry, it's all because I was naughty, I accidentally pushed Xiangling, it has nothing to do with them."

Ruiguan was overjoyed to see Jia Baoyu, who was closer to his parents than his own parents, so he rushed to greet him.Jia Baoyu didn't care about the flowering branches either, he let go of his hand holding the front of his shirt, and with his arms across, he shielded Ruiguan, Xiaoluo and Douguan behind his back.

Looking at this posture, Xiuyan knew that Jia Baoyu's fault of pity and cherishing jade had fallen again, so she said flatly: "Brother Bao, you don't need to take everything on yourself, be careful to spoil their delicate and savage disease."

Meilian looked at the group of people behind Jia Baoyu, and said bitterly: "No one cares about your mischief, but our girl just put on a new dress, and it's only been worn for half a day, and I have to go to my wife and Mrs. Xue's place later. What’s going on, how can you meet people!”

Following Meilian's words, everyone's eyes fell on Xiuyan and Xiangling's summer shirts.

Xiangling was fine, there were a few drops of mud on the lower corner of the bright red pomegranate silk, which could not be seen clearly.But Xiuyan, who was used by her as a meat pad, was not so lucky.

When I went out, I thought it was also my birthday. Although I followed my mother to Jia's house to help, it was not easy to dress too plainly, so I put on a floor-length pink narcissus skirt that I prepared two days ago. It is a thin smoky green yarn with gold threads.

Jia Baoyu looked down and said, "Oh, why did it fall into the mud? What a pity! This narcissus skirt cannot be dyed."

Meilian snorted coldly: "This is a reward from the palace, and it is hard to find a horse even if it is worth a thousand dollars. Our girl and Miss Lin each get one. It is not a big deal in normal times, but when we go out, my wife tells our girl to dress well." I said that the two girls still wore this when they went to Song Shangshu's house two days ago!"

This time not only Xiangling, Ruiguan and others panicked, but even Jia Baoyu knew that they had caused a catastrophe.He stumbled and sighed: "I just wanted to say in Hongxiangpu that Sister Xing's clothes are extraordinary, so it is like this. If your family wastes dozens of clothes a day, it doesn't feel bad, but my uncle and wife have thousands of clothes." Reminding Wan Wan, calling Sister Lin is the same as you. Now Sister Lin’s is still good, but Sister Xing broke it first, and my uncle and wife know that they must blame Xiangling.”

Xiuyan slapped the booty on her skirt, and scolded with a smile: "You think our wife is too stingy, we are not the kind of unruly people, and Xiangling is not an ordinary servant girl, she is also a relative's family after all. My half-master, if we are angry with anyone, we will not be angry with relatives? Brother Bao said this, but I feel that he is trying to provoke sisterhood between sister Bao and me."

Jia Baoyu was anxious and flustered: "Sister Xing is even more confused, I was never that kind of person!" Jia Baoyu strongly invited Xiuyan to rest in Yihong Courtyard: "Qingwen is the best at packing things, tell her to think of a way, maybe she can Cover up one or two, wait for my sister to hide this incident from my uncle and wife first, and I will go find one for you tomorrow."

Xiang Ling burst into tears and said: "Miss Xing, this is all my fault, I beg our girl to go."

Xiuyan looked at the wet skirt, the purple calyx and red flowers embroidered on it were stained with dirt, so she could only follow Jia Baoyu and Xiangling to Yihong Courtyard.At this moment, Xiren was ordering a group of little girls to clean up the house: "Wipe it inside and out first, Baoyu can't see the slightest bit of dirt, well done, I'll ask you to have a good drink tonight."

The little girls were overjoyed, the aroma of the jar of good Shaoxing wine behind the bookshelf had already wafted over, and they felt itchy to smell it, and seeing what Xiren said, they worked harder.

For a while Jia Baoyu came in with Xing Xiuyan, Xiren was slightly displeased, but thinking of Xing Xiuyan's methods in Fangfei Garden that time, Xiren couldn't help being afraid, so he could only bite the bullet and come up to entertain him.

Baoyu looked around but couldn't see Qingwen, so she told Xiren about Xiuyan's skirt being stained and trying to fix it.

"Second master is too confused. Could it be that no one has that skill except Qingwen? Not to mention, the musk moon in our house is the best."

Baoyu suddenly realized, and hurriedly said to Xiuyan: "Why did I forget her, sister Bao, don't worry, this Sheyue's mother is the washing lady of our house, she must have a way."

Musk Moon is next door, and she comes as soon as she is called. She first glanced at the pink narcissus flower dress, and then said to Jia Baoyu after thinking for a while, "I've never seen this kind of satin before. Silk is not silk. If you really want to say it, it is about the same as the horse of mille-feuille that the empress gave to the old lady during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Musk Moon doesn't want to take this matter, she is a person who doesn't want to cause troubles, even if the skirt is finished, there will be traces, and people of Ms. Xing's background will definitely not wear it again.

Why should she be so thankless?

Xiuyan saw how much she was thinking, so she smiled and said: "I just want to hide it from the moment, the left and right are also ruined, I ask Miss Sheyue to try her best."

Jia Baoyu had already boasted about Haikou in front of his sister Xing, fearing that Sheyue would spoil his face, he forced Sheyue to do it.

Sheyue was helpless, "I had no choice but to give it a try." She sent someone to Liu's in the small kitchen to get some soda, and told Chunyan to fetch water from the well outside, and Si'er to prepare shochu and irons, while she herself Come to the dressing table under the window.He opened a Xuan kiln porcelain box, picked up a packet of jasmine powder, thought about it, and took another packet of Qiuhui Yunxiang powder that Baoyu got from the Beijing Palace.

When Xiren saw it, he felt distressed. There was only one bag in Yihong Courtyard.

Musk Moon mixed shochu with water first, and wiped off the dirt bit by bit with the flower stick of the hosta flower. The shochu was too strong, and the corners of the light pink skirt that smoked soon were all scorched.

Musk Moon squatted on the ground, her hands trembling.Xiuyan leaned over and said softly: "Just do your best, don't feel pressured."

Sheyue calmed down a bit, applied various fragrance powders on the corner of the skirt layer by layer, and then wiped off the powder with a small toothbrush. The bucket rolled once, and it was hard to recognize if you didn't look up carefully.

Musk Moon let out a long breath: "Although they don't look very similar, at least they can make Miss Xing survive this test."

Xiuyan was overjoyed, thanked again and again, and even took off a sapphire ring from her hand as a reward.When Baoyu saw that his man was highly regarded by Sister Xing, he couldn't help but feel proud, and he also wanted Sheyue to take it.

Xiangling pulled Muskyue, mouthful and affectionately called her sister.

Xiuyan then said to Baoyu in a low voice: "You are always putting your heart into these girls, why don't you tell Sister Bao quietly? Xiangling is honest, it is inevitable that some people in the garden will look down on her, and she has some solid eyes. You have to pay the other party!"

Jia Baoyu knew that Xing Xiuyan was talking about Ruiguan and others, so he was a little embarrassed.

"If you want me to say, the trouble here is a bit outrageous. No wonder it's difficult for Sanya to be a housekeeper. Running a family is like running a country. I see that there are only two people in your family who have eyes. One is Feng girl who was kicked out, and the other It's your third younger sister, Tanchun."

At first, Jia Baoyu thought that Xing Xiuyan was going to preach to him, so he didn't take it seriously, but after a few words, Baoyu was not only convinced, but also immediately promoted, and regarded Xing Xiuyan as a confidante: "Sister is very true, I almost made a big mistake, wait As soon as my wife returns home, I'll beg her to invite Sister Feng back!"

Xiuyan couldn't help cursing at his forehead, he, Jia Baoyu, could be regarded as an outlier in the Rongguo Mansion!

"Baoyu, hurry to the Ouxiangxie!" Qingwen ran in from outside in a panic: "The second girl was beaten!"
