The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 54

Jia Baoyu was yelling into the room when he suddenly froze, staring at the beautiful girl sitting beside Sister Lin without blinking.What a beautiful and beautiful girl, whose family's lady is this, why has he never seen it before?

The dazed Jia Baoyu immediately stood on the spot stupidly. Shi Xiangyun, who was chasing up from behind, might as well have stood behind the curtain and bumped into Jia Baoyu's back, ouch, rubbing his forehead: "Brother love, what are you doing?" Woolen cloth!"

"I, I didn't." Jia Baoyu looked at the girl timidly, and casually followed Shi Xiangyun's words.

Xiang Yun looked at his straight eyes and said with a smirk: "Brother Ai, you don't know her? She is Sister Xing! Didn't you still speak ill of Sister Xing to the third sister this morning? Ugh!"

Jia Baoyu hurriedly covered Xiangyun's mouth with his hand, and kept begging for mercy: "My good sister, don't talk nonsense, I have never said anything bad."

Xiangyun tried desperately to break Jia Baoyu's hand, his face was already flushed red, the three of Tanchun who were a step behind saw this situation, and hurried up to pull them away.Shi Xiangyun bent over and coughed uncontrollably, looked up at Jia Baoyu with tears in his eyes, Jia Baoyu was at a loss, put his hands behind his back, and ran to Jia's mother with a smile.

Shi Xiangyun stomped his feet resentfully, and Tanchun took out his handkerchief to comfort her: "Baoyu didn't mean it, girl Yun, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. None of us know Baoyu's temper. It's like seeing a beautiful girl loses his soul. I just feel that I have some conflicts with that Xing girl." Shi Xiangyun took the handkerchief and shook it angrily. .

Tanchun hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Yun girl, don't talk nonsense, come in with me quickly, so that the old lady won't feel unhappy after waiting for a long time."

It turned out that Jia Baoyu had already joined the old lady in this room, and Xue Baoqin wanted to get up to give up his seat. Baoyu turned his eyes, pressed Xue Baoqin down, and sat down on Baochai's left hand with a smile. Across her was Xing Xiuyan.

Jia's mother pointed at the young girl: "This is your sister Xiuyan. You were not here yesterday and missed the meeting. Today I should give you a gift from the Xing family sister." Jia Baoyu bowed joyfully, but Xiuyan stopped her Said: "I dare not be such a big gift to the second master Bao."

"Sister Xing is from Suzhou like Sister Lin? Do you have brothers and sisters at home? Has your sister ever read a book? Do you have words?" Jia Baoyu looked at Xing Xiuyan wantonly across Xue Baochai.

Jia Mu frowned: "Let your elder sister Xing An An have a meal first, and it won't be too late for you to go to the garden to ask questions later."

Xue Baochai also held down Jia Baoyu, who was about to move, and said in a low voice: "Good brother, sit still, don't let your relatives see the joke. Sister Xing is no better than others, and you should respect it." Ashamed, but the more Sister Bao said this, Baoyu fell in love with the girl from the Xing family instead.

At the dinner table, Baoyu only pays attention to what dishes Xiuyan puts in and what snacks he ate, and remembers them all in his heart.After all the people finished their breakfast, Baoyu hurriedly said: "Ancestor, I have discussed with my third sister that we want to open a poetry club, and we won't eat at the ancestor's place at noon. I will pay for a single table in the kitchen to invite them."

Mother Jia laughed: "You monkey, you finally have something serious to do. When the weather was warm a while ago, your eldest sister from the historian family invited you to a table, and now I also pay you some money to entertain these little sisters. It's just that .”

Jia Mu pondered for a while: "It's just that the ancestors taught it well. A woman's lack of talent is a virtue. It's okay to be a joke in this poetry club. You can't play with things and lose your ambition and lose your dignity."

Tanchun and other sisters stood up one after another, claiming yes.Seeing this, Jia's mother smiled and nodded, and then asked Xiuyan: "Miss Xing, do you also study at home?"

Although the Jia family started with Wu, the two brothers Ning Guogong and Rong Guogong married the daughters of the scholarly family. The family has become the best of the second-class family in Beijing.Unexpectedly, Jia Daishan's wife, the aunt of the historian, is now an old lady who only knows a few big characters.After the old lady took charge of the house, she blindly spoiled her youngest son and neglected her eldest son.The two granddaughter-in-laws she personally selected, one Li Wan, although his family was from the Imperial Academy, but his daughters could barely read a few words; Wang Xifeng was even more illiterate.

It can be said that the descendants of the Jia family are not as strong as the previous generation, which is inseparable from the old lady's connivance and ignorance.

Seeing Jiamu staring at her persistently, Xiuyan smiled and said, "Going back to the old lady, she insulted the sages by talking about reading, but I brought Zhengde's enlightenment when he was young, and now he can only write a few big characters. "

Mother Jia nodded, and said to Yingchun, Tanchun and other sisters: "You should also remember what Miss Xing said. Although reading is self-cultivating, the virtues of women should not be left behind. Why did I hear people say two days ago that someone called Baoyu Gang?" Go out and buy a lot of miscellaneous things and come back?"

Tanchun and Jia Baoyu's faces paled immediately, and Jia's mother said in a deep voice: "If you have this spare time, why not make a few pairs of shoes for the first and second masters, and give them as congratulatory gifts at the end of the year, which is also your wish. Baoyu is no better than you, You are the pillar of the family in the future, I have already discussed with the second master, and after the new year, I will hire a good master for Baoyu, and I will study your knowledge well, so that you will scratch your head and scratch your head when I ask you."

Jia Baoyu came out of the main room in a daze, and the little girls were also worried, and they looked sleepy and refused to make a sound.Only Shi Xiangyun ran up to Jia Baoyu's side, and said with a smile, "Brother Love, let's go to your place now? Do you think Jia Yun found any flowers?"

Xiangyun rested at Qiushuangzhai last night. Baoyu passed Xiaoxiang Pavilion early in the morning and went straight to Qiushuangzhai.With Shi Xiangyun here, where is there any time to stop?She asked Baoyu to set up a banquet and insisted on opening a club in Yihong courtyard.It's too late for Baoyu to be happy, so how could she refuse.

Hearing Shi Xiangyun's old story come up again now, Baoyu also lost the frustration just now, hurriedly looked back in Xing Xiuyan's direction, and said loudly on purpose: "Sister Yun is absolutely right, of course I will go to Yihong Courtyard, I called Xiren a long time ago The fruit has been prepared, just waiting for the sisters to have fun together."

Xiuyan walked behind with Daiyu on her arm, hearing Jia Baoyu's loud voice, she smiled faintly.She had seen a lot of the little boy's tricks in her previous life, so it was really clumsy.

"What is sister laughing at?" Seeing that sister Xing was in a good mood, Daiyu also asked with a smile.

"I'm just laughing at your brother who has a loud voice."

Daiyu frowned: "It's really strange. Baoyu never does this. Instead, there is a woman in his room who talks loudly. Baoyu thinks she is a country woman."

Xiuyan patted the back of Daiyu's hand, hey, no matter what, she is a little girl with little experience.

Everyone brought them into the Grand View Garden. From a distance, they could see Yihong Courtyard surrounded by white walls and surrounded by weeping willows. However, the midwinter has come and the trunks are dry, leaving only the swaying twigs, adding to the desolation.Xiuyan followed the crowd into the gate of the courtyard, facing three gate towers with hanging flowers, surrounded by hand-painted verandahs, in the courtyard there are corridors connecting each other, decorated with mountains and rocks, and a plaque of "Yihong, Quickgreen" hangs on the five huts.

Everyone took a few steps behind Xiuyan, standing under a Xifu crabapple tree and staring.

Jia Baoyu has been paying attention to Xing Xiuyan's movement, and when he personally lifts the curtain to let Tanchun and others in, but does not see Sister Xing coming over, he looks at the girl in red dress dancing gracefully with the wind under the crabapple tree, looking forward to the brilliance. , was unexpectedly bright and beautiful that Jia Baoyu had never seen before.

Baoyu's heart was thumping wildly, and she walked over in disbelief: "Sister Xing!"

"Brother Bao, is this crabapple tree dead?" Xiuyan asked Baoyu with a smile, and Baoyu hurriedly said, "Sister, did you see it? Hey, I said I was going to pull it out. It's an eyesore here. I don't want to make me move, if elder sister Xing doesn't like it, I'll have someone chop me up tomorrow."

Xiuyan had seen Daiyu standing at the door staring at the two of them long ago, so she smiled lightly and said, "Brother Bao, why must you be so unfeeling, this Xifu crabapple is a famous species, and it must be because of your family's fate to enter Yihong Courtyard." Luckily, don’t Brother Bao have any good memories under this tree? Cut it down. Wouldn’t it be a farewell to the past?”

After speaking, he never looked at Baoyu again, turned around and walked towards Daiyu just like Liu Yaohua smiling.

Jia Baoyu was stunned on the spot, remembering?Whoops, why did he forget that when he first moved into the courtyard, he and Sister Lin often read good works and good words under the tree, but he didn't remember?Damn it, luckily Xiren stopped him from pulling up the tree.

Baoyu was about to thank Xing Xiuyan for some advice, but when he looked around, there was no sign of Sister Xing, but the fragrance of lilies lingered in the air.Jia Baoyu cocked his nose and sniffed it, feeling more itchy, and chased after him into the house.It turned out that all the sisters had been watching around the two pots of narcissus.

Shi Xiangyun's eyes were sharp, seeing Baoyu standing at the door, he stretched out his hand to greet him: "Brother Ai, why are you the master, you came in last, and the two elder sisters, Li Wei and Li Qi, have arrived early."

The two sisters of the Li family had breakfast with Li Wan in Daoxiang Village, so they entered Yihong Courtyard early.Of course, Xiren would not neglect the two younger sisters of the grandma, and they also entertained them with good tea and fruit.Coincidentally, Jia Yun sent in two pots of narcissus in full bloom, and everyone did nothing but look around at the flowers.

Xiren walked over quickly and patted Baoyu's cloak, "Second Master, too. The guests are here, but you are a step behind, as if something tripped you. Second Master Yun on the back porch just now sent the wife Come in and send flowers, I have rewarded them with a bunch of money."

Baoyu gently pushed Xiren's hand away, and took off the cloak by herself. Qingwen took it over with a smile on her lips, not forgetting to glance at Xiren triumphantly.

Xiren didn't have the time to argue with Qingwen, so he followed Baoyu in a hurry: "Second Master, I asked the kitchen to prepare forty fruit plates. Second Master, should I eat first and then enjoy the flowers, or?"

Shi Xiangyun has already jumped out: "Naturally, you can enjoy it while you eat. Sister Xiren, quickly take out all the good tea that loves brother, don't hide it. I just tasted the tea you brewed for Sister Li Cowen. It's not love. My brother is used to it."

Xiren was so embarrassed that he had to explain bluntly: "Miss Shi misunderstood, Second Master's old tea is long gone, this is newly brought by Second Mistress who woke up early, otherwise I would not have given it to the two Li girl?"

Xiuyan, who was looking at the flowers, suddenly turned her head. She didn't know which one was Hua Xiren, but thanks to Shi Xiangyun's loud voice, she had the opportunity to take a good look at the famous big girl in the red building.
