The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 17 Baoyu Sheds Money Only for Crimson Pearl (Please recommend for collection)

(Dears, are your recommendation tickets still there??? Let’s all go to Xiao He)

Jia Baoyu knew that Ping'er's sister was going to Suzhou with the boy, so she didn't sleep all night, and searched the house for a long time. Xiren, Qingwen, Sheyue and others couldn't stop.

Ping'er chuckled lightly and said, "What did you call me for? I'm leaving now. Could it be that I want to bring something or something to Miss Lin?"

Jia Baoyu smiled innocently and said, "Sister Ping'er knows me best. Sister comes with me." Jia Baoyu stretched out his hand to hold Ping'er and went to his own room. Ping'er hesitated for a moment, but looked at Baoyu's hand. Excited, Jia Baoyu laughed at himself for fussing over a molehill, and just followed him into the room.

In the first year, Mrs. Wang said that Miss Lin was too old to hide in the green gauze cupboard behind the old lady, and that she should clean up the room and live in a wider room.Jia's mother knew that the second daughter-in-law thought that Baoyu was sleeping on the bed outside the Bisha cabinet, and that the two children were too close.

Jia's mother deliberately refuted it back, but the second wife's words were just and fair. Jia's mother had no choice but to ask someone to tidy up the two wing rooms in her backyard. Baoyu, the smaller room in the right hallway was given to Daiyu.

Now Jia Baoyu dragged Ping'er into his own room, and called Xiren's name when he opened his mouth: "Xiren, Xiren, quickly bring the things."

After shouting for a while, no one answered.If this was in Wang Xifeng's house, Ping'er would have been annoyed, and all the servant girls would have gone there!But this was Jia Baoyu's room after all, and Ping'er could only stand there with a smile on his face.

Jia Baoyu didn't see the slightest bit of anger, instead he scratched his head in confusion and said, "Just now I told her to stay at home, I'll be back soon!"

Just as she was talking, Qingwen lifted the curtain from the outside and walked in unwillingly. Jia Baoyu hurriedly smiled and said, "Where is Sister Xiren?"

Qingwen pouted her mouth on the inner kang and rolled her eyes: "After you left, you felt a lot of resentment. I don't know what to think when I lie on the bed!"

Xiren had heard the movement inside, so he deliberately didn't come out and didn't say a word. Now he heard Qingwen put on small shoes for herself, which made her trip, and hurried to get up.As soon as Baoyu opened his mouth, the attacker's intention to get up gradually stopped, and he still lay there with his clothes on, his eyes slightly closed, and his ears listened carefully to the movement outside.

Jia Baoyu smiled and said to Qingwen: "It alarmed you last night. Presumably sister Xiren didn't fall asleep well. Now it's normal to lie down and recover from fatigue. Hey, since I have you, why should I sleep again?" Looking for attackers? You quickly brought the things."

Qingwen suddenly heard Baoyu say that with her, she would not have to look for attackers. She was so proud that she responded delicately and went to the inner room.

A small wooden box was placed beside Xiren's bed, Qingwen snorted inwardly, picked up the box and left.Xi's heart ached like a knife, but she didn't dare to make a sound because she was pretending to be asleep. She could only hear Qingwen's footsteps walking farther and farther away, and a line of tears dripped from the corner of her eyes unconsciously.

Seeing Qingwen struggling to hold the box, Ping'er asked curiously, "What is this?"

Jia Baoyu smiled, and opened the lid of the box vigorously, and the jewels and gems inside immediately hurt Ping'er's eyes.I saw how many large and small gold and silver locks inside, and there were even broken silver, or jade pendants, collars, etc., the value of which was unknown.

Ping'er closed the lid and said in a hurried tone, "Baoyu, what are you doing?"

Jia Baoyu said casually: "I always heard from Sister Bao that poor families are rich, and Sister Lin doesn't know if she eats well or dresses well outside. Bringing these to her can always quench her thirst."

Ping'er lamented Baoyu's affection for Miss Lin, but, "Let's take it back, the old lady has already given me a lot of silver, and besides, Miss Lin is going home, and the Lin family has a lot of good things, so I don't need this. Thinking of you makes me even more troubled."

Jia Baoyu knew that Sister Lin had a heavy heart, so don't be like what Sister Ping'er said, but instead it aroused Sister Lin's sorrow.

Seeing that Baoyu was a little shaken, Qingwen remembered that these things were always under the control of Grandma Xiren. Last night, Second Master Bao stretched out his hand to ask for her, as if he had cut Xiren's flesh. Qingwen secretly laughed .Anyway, these things can't belong to her, as long as it can make Xi Ren feel uncomfortable, why doesn't she give this favor?
Qingwen laughed quickly and said, "That's the old lady's wish, and this is Baoyu's wish. If Miss Lin doesn't see Baoyu's expression, she will suspect that Baoyu has forgotten their brother-sister friendship!"

Jia Baoyu's body shook, and he said anxiously: "It's amazing, I didn't expect this level. My dear sister, you must have taken them with you. Just tell Sister Lin that I don't miss her for a day, and tell her to come back quickly." .”

The attacker was on the kang in the inner room, grabbing the mandarin ducks on the silk quilt, pulling and stripping the threads of a good-looking colorful mandarin duck, so that he could no longer look at it.

Seeing that Baoyu insisted on this, Ping'er could only accept the small box.

On that day, Ping'er and two women rode in a cart, Zhao'er led two other servants on horseback, and the group traveled by land and then by water, and finally arrived in Suzhou half a month later.

Undercurrents are raging here in the capital, but Jia Lian and Daiyu's trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou went smoothly.Not long after Zhao'er left, the Ministry of Officials issued a document, telling Xing Zhong to go back to Wu County immediately to receive the order. Xing Zhong didn't dare to delay, so he kept the little servant Axi and asked his third brother-in-law who was doing business in Yangzhou to take good care of Lu. Shi and others, he took the lead in rushing to Suzhou.

It wasn't until the beginning of October that Xiuyan and the others took care of everything in the Lin residence, and accompanied Daiyu to carry the coffin back home.

When Lin Daiyu was young in Yangzhou, she only thought that Yangzhou was a rare and prosperous place in the world. When she followed her husband into the capital, she realized that she was just a peeping cat, and she often laughed secretly at her shallowness.All the essence of nature is gathered here.However, when I went to Suzhou City again today, I realized that the world is so big that I am just a drop in the ocean.

Xing Zhong became the county magistrate, and the Lu family will be the county magistrate's wife in the future. Naturally, when entering the city, she will be carried in a sedan chair. This is the cost of going to the government, not the Xing family themselves.The master in the original government office was an old fritter, and he followed Bai Youshan to the magistrate to make a fortune, so Xing Zhong promoted a famous criminal master who was not popular and was not liked by Bai Youshan.

This master has always been gloomy and dull, but he is extremely good at detecting and solving cases, and he also has the job of a detective. Because of this, Bai Youshan has never been willing to quit him.Now that Bai Youshan has become the magistrate of Suzhou, he has a lot of big things and small things, so he forgot about this famous criminal master.

Although Xing Zhong was only in charge of clerk affairs in the past, he had a good relationship with this Master Xing. The wife of Master Xing secretly told him that since he was working for Dong Weng in the future, he must curry favor with Mrs. Xing.This master never paid any attention to it, but her wife secretly sent someone to go to the government office and secretly bribed the officer in charge of the carriages and horses. own carriage.

Xing Xiuyan led Zhengde, Daiyu carried Zijuan, and the four of them got into the Xing family's own car, and only asked Wang Momo to lead the maids and women in the second car.

The Xing family's carriage is not comparable to the Lin family's, but it is still lingering with incense, and the room is full of fragrance.Seeing Sister Xing's maid Zhuan'er and mother-in-law sitting on the shaft facing the wind, Lin Daiyu felt uneasy and hurriedly said, "Ask Sister Zhuan'er to come in and sit down. Let's squeeze together to keep warm."

Zhuan'er was turning around to put the car curtain for the girls, when she heard Lin Daiyu say this, she said with a smile: "Miss Lin, don't worry about me, I grew up in Zhuangzi when I was young, and I have seen it even in cold weather, what is this idea worth! You only have to chat with our girl for a while, Zhuaner, I will thank Miss Lin."

Xing Xiuyan said angrily: "You will arrange things for Miss Lin."

Zhuan'er chuckled: "I dare to say that because Miss Lin is not an outsider. If it's someone else's lady, I guarantee that I will be like the Taishang Laojun in Yuanmiao Temple, with a tight mouth and a tight mouth."

Lin Daiyu felt that the relationship between master and servant was very unusual, and it was not like her and Zicuckoo anyway.Daiyu sighed a long time: "I think Zhuan'er will be blessed to be with her sister in the future."

Xiuyan covered Zhengde's small body with her lotus-colored crane cloak, and she leaned slightly towards Daiyu, "Our family is all grateful to Zhuan'er. Sister Lin didn't know that when Zhengde was young, his family came to see her. A monk with a scarlet head and a lame Taoist said that Zhengde is a very wealthy life, but it is a pity that there are five kalpas in his life, and he needs the help of noble people."

When Xiuyan said this, she caressed Zhengde's smooth forehead pitifully: "We didn't believe it at first, but who would have thought that he was only three years old that year, and when our family was busy, a thief would be so bold Sneaked in and wanted to take Zhengde away, and asked us to pay the ransom. Thanks to Zhuan'er, he held on to the thief until we rushed over."

Dai Yuxin raised her throat, "Amitabha, it can be seen that this bald monk is not talking nonsense. Isn't Zhuan'er a noble man of righteousness!"

Daiyu couldn't help looking at Zhengde, who was sleeping soundly with sister Xiuyan on his pillow. The little guy ran like a child as soon as he got on the boat, and fell asleep early when he arrived in Suzhou. Daiyu didn't know where the strength of sister Xiuyan came from. It was easy to pick up the five-year-old Zhengde from the pier to the car.Who would have thought that such a lovely Zhengde would have experienced such a catastrophe.

Seeing Lin Daiyu staring at Zhengde, Xiuyan smiled lightly and said, "You haven't seen this kid become more skinny, he was so angry with his master that he almost gave up on him."

Daiyu nodded in praise and said: "Although it's hard work, but being able to keep fit is only good for Zhengde. I only hate that I am a daughter and can't practice some martial arts like my younger brother. It's better than this weak body that gets sick every year. .”

Xiuyan knew that Daiyu would fall ill whenever it was cold, half of it was physical illness, and the other half was mental illness.Xiuyan comforted her: "I have learned some moves from a master for a few days, although I can't be a heroine, but there is no problem in strengthening my body."

Xiuyan's previous life was when yoga was popular. When she came here, her family became better and better. Xiuyan never left her behind, and her body shape changed day by day.Since she recognizes Daiyu as her younger sister, why not teach her a few tricks, even if she can't cure Daiyu's serious illness, it is still no problem to improve her physique.

Daiyu is naturally willing, and at the same time she agrees, she feels that Sister Xing is gentle and caring. Although she hasn't seen her for a long time, she always feels that she is more approachable than those sisters in the mansion.

Not long after, the Xing family mansion was in sight, and Xing Zhong was standing at the door anxiously looking forward to the return of his wife and daughter!
