————————————————————

Because it was not a full birthday, and Mrs. Jia had always called Baoyu cheap, so no one celebrated his birthday, but Tanchun Xichun invited to celebrate Baoyu's birthday.

Daiyu has always been worried about the death of the concubine, and she can't remember exactly how many months it happened in the original book, but until now there has been no news, which made Daiyu puzzled.Did I misremember the date and year?Or because of my arrival in this life, something happened that I didn't know about...?
Now it is very different from the original book, not to mention Yingchun getting married, Xue Baochai returned to Xue's mansion, Xue Baoqin had never been to Jia's house, even Shi Xiangyun had left, Daiyu was relieved, and even directed her with great interest. Shinan and the little girls steamed a cake for Jia Baoyu as a birthday present.

On the afternoon of April 26, when Jia Baoyu heard that Tanchun Xichun was going to give her a birthday, she didn't think much of it. After all, every year, she prepared gifts for herself, which were nothing more than shoes and shirts.But when Jia Baoyu heard that Daiyu was also involved, he couldn't help being happy. This was the first time he had known Daiyu for so many years.

Jia Baoyu was the host, and when he came back from a restaurant outside, he packed a lot of dishes, plus what his sisters added, a table full of thirty or forty dishes was piled up together.It has never been placed in Yihong Courtyard, just at the intersection of the left and right sides of the Grand View Garden-Qinfang Pavilion.

Four people gathered around a large table, Tanchun smiled and said, "It's time to invite Sister Feng to come with me." Xichun also nodded and said, "It's a good thing, otherwise, wouldn't it be too deserted?" Unexpectedly, Daiyu smiled at Tanchun and said, "Even Brother Huan should be invited here." Tanchun was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect anyone to remember Jia Huan at this time.

Seeing Daiyu smiling at him encouragingly, Tanchun calmed down and told the servant: "Let Cuimo go and invite Sister Feng, and you go and pick up Huan'er, just say Brother Bao passed away, please It's good for them to come and drink." Seeing Tanchun's order, Jia Baoyu felt somewhat awkward, but he couldn't say anything, so he just lowered his head and ate the wine by himself.

What Ling Tanchun, Xichun, and even Jia Baoyu didn't expect was that after a while, Cuimo came back to report: "Second Grandma said she is not feeling well, so she won't come here." As soon as the words fell, Jia Huan followed the servant come over.

Looking at Jia Huan, Jia Baoyu always felt that something had changed, but he couldn't tell, but it was rare for the two brothers to meet each other. Now Jia Huan looked very polite, at least he was very respectful to Tanchun and Daiyu, Jia Baoyu So he didn't say anything, just invited him to sit down.

After Jia Huan sat down next to Tanchun and between Tanchun and Jia Baoyu, all the people brought out gifts one after another.

To Jia Baoyu's surprise, not only did Tanchun no longer send shoes and clothes this year, but also gave him a pair of "Ask Spring Returning" made by someone, and Xichun even gave him "Prince Yihong" painted by himself. Jia Baoyu was very surprised, but Daiyu also took out a post for him, which made Jia Baoyu overjoyed.

If the Lin family wasn't a century-old calligraphy family, with a scholarly family, it would be impossible for ordinary people to find such calligraphy, even for Master Jia Baoyu.For Jia Baoyu, who devoted himself to studying calligraphy, it can be said that he has obtained the most precious treasure.

Seeing this, Jia Huan was a little embarrassed, and was also very angry in his heart. Looking at the gifts sent out one by one, after touching the objects in his armhole, Jia Huan just lowered his head and ate and drank by himself, and No words.

Tanchun naturally saw Jia Huan's uneasiness and embarrassment, and so did the others.But Jia Baoyu's full attention was on the post at this time, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, but he didn't seem to notice it.

Others couldn't say anything when they saw this, Jia Huan bowed his head after eating for a while, then got up and said, "I'm full, I'll go back to study first." Saying this, he bowed and retreated.

Daiyu saw that he was doing well and that he had improved a lot compared to before. She was very happy and smiled at Tanchun. Fang raised her head and said to Jia Huan, "Where do I have two new books? If you like to turn around, I will send them to you." You send it. If you are good at studying, you will live up to your sister's teaching."

Daiyu's words reminded Jia Baoyu that there was such a famous person as Jia Huan here, and she was a little embarrassed at once, but after hearing Daiyu's words, Jia Huan was a little surprised and a little flattered, looked at him and nodded with a smile In Tanchun, Fang bowed to thank him and said: "Sister Xie Lin loves me, I will definitely study hard." So he withdrew.

Once again only Jia Baoyu and the other four were left in the pavilion, sitting together silently, but just chatting casually, Jia Baoyu also found it very boring, Xichun was full of thoughts about his unfinished painting, and Tanchun's heart He has already followed Jia Huan.Seeing this, Daiyu also got up and went back to Nuanxiangwu.

As soon as Daiyu left, Tanchun Xichun also dispersed, leaving Jia Baoyu alone in the pavilion.Seeing this, Xiren couldn't help stepping forward and laughing: "If Baoyu finds it boring, we might as well go back. There is a room full of sisters waiting to celebrate the second master's birthday."

But Jia Baoyu had no interest in this, so he just ordered Xiren to put away Tanchun Xichun's gift, and then he went to the foreign study with the post from Daiyu.

Everything seemed to be going well, but at midnight, the whole Jia family was noisy.It turned out that just like in the original book, Jia Jing was in a Taoist temple outside the city, and returned to the west after taking the elixir...

When Daiyu heard the news, she was stunned. She thought it had changed, and even laughed at herself that the previous arrangement was too self-righteous, not wanting Jia Jing to still go on the night of Jia Baoyu's birthday.

With Zhixuan's help, Daiyu hurriedly changed into plain clothes and headed across to Liaofengxuan where Xichun lived.

At this time, Xichun was also dressed neatly, wearing plain white clothes inside and outside, and also put on a plain silver hairpin on her head.The little man stood in the hall, although he said neither crying nor making noise or showing sadness, but Daiyu somehow felt very pitiful.

As there was no one else in the house, Daiyu sent her into the painting, and explained her previous arrangements with Xichun in detail. Xichun was surprised when she heard that Daiyu had already made arrangements for her in the Muni Temple outside the city. , but after taking a deep breath, he nodded heavily to Daiyu.

Daiyu held Xichun in her arms with red eyes and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, sister will visit you often, your sister Miaoyu's master is old with the abbot of Namuni nunnery, and will take good care of you, you stay here The mansion is really..."

Before Daiyu finished speaking, Xichun covered Daiyu's mouth in a sensible way, and said with tears in her eyes, "After all these years, the one who still remembers me and thinks of me is my elder sister, my elder sister Qian Don't say that, I understand."

Xichun's sensibility made Daiyu's heart ache even more. However, after sitting with Xichun for most of the night, Daiyu didn't see someone from the East Mansion calling for Xichun, so she couldn't help asking outside the door in surprise: "Go and see, When will the people from Dongfu come?" As soon as Daiyu finished speaking, Xichun sneered and said, "Who would they think about me? It's just that I'm an eyesore."

There are twists and turns in it, Wang Xifeng once said a word to Daiyu, Daiyu didn't believe it, but now... Daiyu thought about it, pulled Xichun up and said: "In that case, let's go directly to grandma's room Go and see what grandma means. At least you have been raised by grandma for so many years."

Xichun didn't want to go, but seeing that Daiyu was very persistent and understood that Daiyu was always for her, she nodded and followed Daiyu to the old lady Jia's house.

At this time, Mrs. Jia's house was already brightly lit. When Daiyu and Xichun arrived, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and others had arrived for a long time.Seeing Xichun coming in, everyone was startled, even Mrs. Jia looked a little embarrassed, and everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

When Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng saw Daiyu coming in, they nodded to her respectively.Mrs. Wang even showed a smile.

Although Daiyu felt more and more that Mrs. Wang's attitude towards her was very strange, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she just smiled and nodded, and accompanied Xichun to walk towards Mrs. Jia.

Seeing Daiyu coming with Xichun in plain clothes, Mrs. Jia also paused for a moment before she hugged Xichun in her arms. She didn't know what to say for a while, she just comforted her back while stroking her back: "It's okay, It's okay..."

Xichun did not show too much emotion, looked up at Daiyu, saw Daiyu nodded slightly to herself when everyone was not checking, Xichun then whispered to the old lady Jia that she had discussed with Daiyu before. discourse.

Mrs. Jia only heard Xichun leaning in her arms, and said softly: "Although my father went to the Taoist temple to become a monk, but my father has gone, it is not good for a daughter to send him off. It is always necessary to keep filial piety."

Hearing Xichun's words, Old Madam Jia's heart softened a bit, and she asked softly, "What's the matter with the fourth girl? Who can stop you from keeping your filial piety?"

Xichun left Mrs. Jia's arms, stood up and knelt in front of Mrs. Jia, said with tears in her eyes: "Seeing that it is the [-]th birthday of our ancestors, how can I stay in the mansion with my filial piety?" Dun, I don't know what to say.

But Wang Xifeng glanced at Daiyu, stepped forward and asked: "Then according to Xi girl's intention, what should we do?" Xichun turned to look at Wang Xifeng, knowing that Wang Xifeng would definitely be with Daiyu, so she said tearfully: "I thought, since my father didn't get it in the Taoist temple outside the city, it's not convenient for me to go to the Taoist temple, so it's okay to go to the nunnery to observe filial piety."

How could Mrs. Jia know nothing about the eunuchs in the nunnery?As soon as Sui Xichun finished speaking, Old Madam Jia said with a stern face: "Where is it?! Girls, what nunnery are you going to? What will you do in the future?"

Seeing this, Daiyu took old lady Jia's arm and said: "Sister Xichun is also very filial, she only found those famous nunneries to lead her filial piety, even if people talk about it in the future, they can only say that sister Xichun is pure filial .Where can something bad come out?"

Hearing what Daiyu said, Mrs. Jia narrowed her eyes, looked at Daiyu dissatisfied and asked, "But you girl was in the middle of picking it up?"

When Xichun saw Mrs. Jia talking about Daiyu like this, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly argued: "I thought about it myself. I was afraid that my ancestors would not agree. I thought that my ancestors would love Sister Lin, so I asked Sister Lin for help on the way. I'll talk." Hearing what Xichun said, Mrs. Jia also hesitated.

Mrs. Wang, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment: "Since the fourth girl has a heart, if she can get the consent of the host, it is also feasible."

Not to mention Mrs. Jia, even Wang Xifeng and Daiyu were shocked by Mrs. Wang's attitude.Daiyu felt that Mrs. Wang's words were not helping Xichun, but clearly helping herself!But no matter how much Daiyu thought about it, she couldn't figure out why Mrs. Wang was so kind to her suddenly, and she couldn't help thinking: Could it be because the master took care of her on the day she got married?
