Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Baoyu smiled and said, "In my opinion, our garden is actually much more sophisticated than the one over there. It can be seen that it was done with care."

　　Tanchun said: "Our garden here is only half the size of Huifang Garden, but just for this place, we swept out all the money in the cracks in the house. It can be said that we are desperate and desperate. Onions, exotic flowers sparkling, pavilions and pavilions, magnificent, but I have some unspeakable sorrows."

　　Baoyu didn't care, "Why do you think so much? This is something that the eldest master and the masters should worry about. Let's just make fun of us, why bother ourselves?"

　　Baochai wanted to persuade him a few words, but Daiyu pulled her and smiled at Baoyu: "This is what our daughter's family said. You are a man, aren't you the same as us when you say this?" Hide your mouth and smile with the sisters.

　　Baochai also said: "Brother Bao is still young, and he doesn't like career and economics, so he shouldn't have to worry about it."

　　"Amitabha, Sister Bao said a fair word today!" Baoyu put her hands together and sighed with a smile, "Sister Lin has learned badly from there. She never said this before."

　　Daiyu snorted coldly, Xichun hurriedly pointed to a courtyard in front, "Let's go in and rest?" After saying that, everyone passed through the Moon Cave Gate, which was woven by a layer of bamboo fences and flower barriers, surrounded by pink walls and green willows.As soon as you enter the door, there are verandas on both sides.The courtyard is lined with a few rocks, and several plantains are planted on one side.On the other side is a Xifu Begonia, as strong as an umbrella, with drooping green threads, and spit cinnabar.Everyone praised, "A good flower, a good flower." Baoyu said, "This is called Daughter Tang, but it is a foreign seed. It is about the color of a sassy person and a scholar. The color of this flower is like a blush, and the weakness seems to help the sick, and it is almost boudoir demeanor. So I named it after my daughter." Daiyu laughed, "I'm afraid it's your fabrication again!"

　　Baoyu stood beside her and said, "Sister, do you think it looks a bit like you? It's like a beautiful flower shining on the water, and its action is like a weak willow supporting the wind. The heart is more dry, and the disease is like Xizi wins three points. With it and you It’s the most appropriate comparison.”

　　Daiyu spat: "When did you see me getting sick? Are you not good at me? Are you going to curse me?" Don't worry, you're in good shape!

　　Baoyu was stunned for a while, he remembered that Sister Lin was fragile and needed to take medicine every day to get better.But thinking about it carefully, I really can't think of when was the last time she got sick?

　　Tanchun and Xichun smiled, holding hands, "Second brother, sister Lin, you won't be content if you don't quarrel twenty or thirty times a day. We won't advise you today, let's see when you will quarrel?"

　　"Yeah, that's right, Sister Lin, you quickly say that the second brother can't learn, he can't do anything, and he can't do anything in the future, what's the use of you?" Xichun clapped her hands.

　　Tan Chun joked again: "Second brother, tell me when Sister Lin learned the worldly worldliness from there. She's not the pure and clean fairy I just met!"

　　Daiyu's face was flushed, and she pulled Yingchun coquettishly and said, "Good sister, look at them making fun of me and treating them? It's just lawless!"

　　Yingchun smiled and said: "I can't control it, what's more, they are all right!" Then he laughed with Tanchun and Xichun.

　　"Bah!" Daiyu spat, "None of you are good people!"

　　Baochai stepped forward and hugged her, "Frowning, don't keep arguing with Baoyu in the future. Yesterday, the old lady asked about it, saying that the two Yuer are nasty, and she will always worry about them. One day when the noise will stop, I will send Sister Yuanyang out to ask why there is no noise!"

　　Daiyu glared at Baoyu, "Who wants to quarrel with him? He messed with me!"

　　Baoyu bowed to her and said, "It's all my fault. It makes my sister angry. I'll never do it again."

　　At this time, Daiyu stretched out three fingers, "You have said this three times. I will keep a count for you and see when you can change it."

　　Baoyu laughed and led everyone into the room.I saw that the cleaning in these rooms could not tell the difference.It turns out that the four sides are all carved hollow and exquisite wooden boards, all of which are multicolored and inlaid with gold.There is a place for storing books, a place for setting tripods, a place for placing pen and inkstone, or a place for flowers and vases, and a place for bonsai.There are various kinds of pillars, or the sky is round and the place is round, or sunflower and banana leaves, or a series of semi-circles.It's really colorful and exquisite.And it is full of walls, all of which are troughs cut out according to the shape of antique toys.Such as qin, sword, hanging bottle, table screen, etc., although hanging on the wall, but they are all level with the wall.Everyone praised: "It's so delicate. Why do you want to come?"

　　Everyone walked in, and before they entered the two floors, they all lost their way. There was a door to the left, and a window to the right. When they got to the front, they were blocked by a book.Go back and walk again, the window screen is transparent again, and the door is feasible.When he reached the door, he suddenly saw a group of people coming in, all in the same shape as himself, but it was a large glass mirror.And when he turned to the mirror, he saw more and more doors.Baoyu smiled and said, "Come with me, sisters. Going out from this door is the backyard. If you go out from the backyard, it's closer." After saying that, she turned around two layers of gauze cabinets. The courtyard is full of roses, treasure.Turning over the flower barrier, you will see the green stream blocking the front, and suddenly turning around from the foot of the mountain, it is a flat and wide road, and suddenly you will see it in front of the gate.

　　At this time, Baoyu saw Qianxue looking at the door, and told her to come, "Xiangling is not here, but you are looking for me?"

　　Qianxue smiled and said, "Second Master Bao, where can I find you as a slave, I'm looking for our Miss Lin and Miss Bao!"

　　When Tan Chun heard this, he asked with a smile, "Sister Lin recognized her relatives before, so it's okay to say that, but when did Sister Bao belong to you?"

　　Qianxue hurriedly smiled and said, "The third girl heard it wrong. The slave first said our girl Lin, and then said Bao girl."

　　Baochai's face turned red and he spat, "Don't listen to Tantan, what do you think Xiangling is looking for from us?"

　　Qianxue shook her head, "Miss Bao guessed wrong, it's not Aunt Xiangling who is looking for you, but my master looking for you!"

　　Daiyu wondered, "What is my brother doing for us?"

　　Qianxue said with a smile, "I don't know, the girls, but our master brought back a Miaoyu girl with a hair to practice, and changed the Liuyun Pavilion in our garden into the Chucui Temple for her abbot. This Miaoyu person is very beautiful. But she has a very weird personality and never communicates with us. She only writes letters to the master every day. Regardless of the poems, she makes the master come back to her. But for the past two days, the master has sealed the governor of Jingying, and the mansion has no time to entertain guests. So let me give Miaoyu's letter and the master's letter to the two girls, saying that it's okay to give her and a song, it's better to do the same in the future, the master also said that he is really exhausted."

　　Baoyu listened to people very beautifully, and knew poetry, so she longed for it and laughed anxiously: "Sister Lin, Sister Bao, why don't you let this Miaoyu live with us? Let's talk about poetry and poetry together, won't it be better than she is guarding the blue light. Gu Fuqiang?"

　　Daiyu ignored him, only glanced at the letter and handed it to Baochai, "Sister Bao, this Miaoyu is actually a wonderful person!"

　　Baochai nodded, "I must be arrogant and proud. It's not easy to agree with her!"

　　Daiyu asked Qianxue again, "What poems did my brother write for her?"

　　Qianxue shook her head, "This slave is stupid, I only heard a few words from Aunt Xiangling, I don't know if it is?"

　　"Speak quickly!" Daiyu and Baochai said in unison.

Chapter [-]: Wood is separated from gold and scattered

　　Jia Zhen has no time to take care of the affairs of the mansion since the governor-general of Jingying.On the one hand, he transferred Jinwu and Jiangnan old generals to the Beijing camp, thinking that he was a confidant, and on the other hand, he summoned the Beijing camp soldiers one after another. Many of them were also under the command of his ancestor Jia Daihua, so he talked about the old friends, which is different from others.Moreover, Jia Zhen is also forthright, capable of rushing people's urgency, thinking of what people want, and all officers and men are happy to use them regardless of whether they are superior or inferior.Naturally, there are also those who watch from the sidelines. With ulterior motives, Jia Zhen gathers his lieutenant and even his soldiers.During the Great War in the Central Plains and the Guangdong-Guangzhou Incident, Duke Jiang used this trick to defeat the enemy invisibly. The so-called wealth and silk moved people's hearts.

　　Let's say that Daiyu Baochai received Miaoyu's post, and she often sang and answered, and even Baoyu was eager to invite her for a while.So he persuaded the old lady and posted a post asking her to come to Rongguo Mansion to teach the old lady the scriptures.After thinking about it again and again, You sent Miaoyu across the house, and sent more people to follow, and told them to come back later, lest Jia Zhen know.

　　When Baoyu saw Miaoyu in front of the old lady, she felt that she was fresh and refined, and hoped that she was not an ordinary person.

　　The old lady looked at her for a while, grabbed her hand and smiled: "You look very good, I heard from them that you are very proficient in writing and writing, and you are very familiar with classics, you should be as playful as my granddaughters, how about your parents? Are you willing to serve the Buddha?" Miao Yuyin talked about what happened back then.The old lady was sad and sighed.But Miaoyu's temperament is cold, neither joy nor sorrow, but it makes the old lady unhappy.After only teaching her to read the Diamond Sutra for a while, she said she was tired and asked her to go out and play with Baoyu and the others.

　　Miaoyu said goodbye and left, not wanting Baoyu to catch up, she gave a deep bow and said, "Jia Baoyu has seen Master Miaoyu."

　　Miaoyu stepped aside, "I don't recognize you." She was about to leave.

　　Baoyu said anxiously, "Although we haven't masked our faces, we have been friends for a long time, so we just think it's an old acquaintance!"

　　Miaoyu looked at him suspiciously, "Why don't I have an impression?"

　　Baoyu smiled and said, "You and Sister Lin and Sister Bao sang. I have seen your poetry and prose a lot. You are indeed talented and elegant, and you can't compare it to the next."

　　"Have you written poetry too?" Miaoyu asked.

　　Baoyu hurriedly replied, "Last time I taught Qianxue to give you the three rhymes of Plum Blossoms that I wrote."

　　"Oh!" Miaoyu responded lightly, and commented casually: "I said that is the best song! There is still considerable talent, but the pattern and temperament need to be pondered more, otherwise it will not be the right way."

　　Baoyu didn't mind her comments at all, she just felt that being able to talk to a pure daughter like Miaoyu would fill the room with fragrance and make people intoxicated, so why not talk about other chores?

　　Miaoyu only said a few words. Seeing that Baoyu was dull, she didn't want to stay for a long time.Baoyu did not dare to persuade her, so she was abrupt and disappointed.

　　At this time, Daiyu Baochai was very close and walked over hand in hand.

　　Daiyu looked at him from a distance, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Baoyu, why are you in a daze?"

　　Baochai also teased: "Brother Bao is thinking about a word right now!"

　　"What word?" Baoyu asked in surprise when he saw them.

　　Baochai said, "A lonely flower and a leaf will ruin the Qingqiu Festival. Can you continue the next sentence?"

　　Baoyu gave up after thinking about it, and begged, "Sister Bao, tell me quickly, right?"

　　Daiyu sneered at the side, "I'm not ashamed either. I often think of myself as a capable person in front of others. Now I can't even be here? Listen to me.　　

　　Miaoyu next to them looked at the two of them with joy, and continued: "Who cares for the loose bun and blows the sheng, and the grass is close to the end of the world. Annoyed by the dark dream behind the curtain, the half-bed flower and moon are crisscrossed."

　　Baoyu recited it again, before stroking his palms and smiling: "This word can only be completed by the three of you linked together, not me."

　　Baochai shook his head and smiled and said, "This song "Qing Ping Le" was not made by us, but was written by my elder brother to Miaoyu."

　　"Brother Zhen?" Baoyu didn't believe it. "He can write words like that? You must have done it, but don't lie to me!"

　　Chai and Dai ignored him and talked to Miaoyu.

　　"I just discussed with Fu'er, I want to visit your place, I don't want you to be here today." Baochai smiled.

　　Miaoyu said: "The old lady here has invited someone to teach the scriptures. I was about to go back, but I happened to meet you, and finally there is someone to speak!"

　　Daiyu said curiously, "There are so many people on my brother's side, and you ignore them?"

　　Miaoyu sighed: "If you say that you are well-educated and knowledgeable, handsome and elegant, and you can talk about scriptures and Taoism with me, only Jiahouye is the only one. The rest are mediocre, and it is difficult to even speak a word.

　　Daiyu said in surprise: "Brother is erudite, He Zeng Junyi? You are too praised!"

　　Miaoyu had a shy look on her face, and only looked at her and smiled.

　　But Baochai said, "My eldest brother is dignified and handsome, but he is both civil and martial. He is in a high position and is not arrogant. He speaks well without being complacent. In this way, handsomeness is acceptable, but why is he not ordinary?"

　　Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't look at my brother being greedy and lustful, and my aunts one after another, but I know that he regards them as equal and confidantes, and the huge property has always been managed by them, not just talking about it. There are endless ideas, and if you say it’s good, it’s fine.”

　　Miaoyu sighed and said, "Unfortunately, Lord Hou is always busy with mundane affairs, leaving early and returning late, and there are no more people to talk."

　　Baoyu was already displeased when she saw that they were talking about Jia Zhen, saying that there are few things in the sky and nothing on earth.Hearing Miaoyu's words, he immediately persuaded: "We also have a garden here, if you move here, someone will talk to you day and night."

　　Daiyu Baochai all laughed.

　　Miaoyu said angrily, "If it's just the two of them, they'll just move. If there's still you here, why should I move here? It's better to stay in the Chucui Nunnery, quiet and undisturbed."

　　Baoyu said angrily, "What's so good about him?"

　　Miaoyu moved away from him and asked, "What's wrong there?"

　　Baoyu suddenly said angrily, "He Jia Zhen is vulgar and vulgar, a person who can't stand vulgarity. I don't know where to invent a few poems that I heard, what is worthy of your respect?"

　　Baochai advised: "Brother Bao, you misunderstood!"

　　Daiyu said with a smile, "I knew you would look at my brother this way. His poems are classic enough to be passed down to future generations. If you say he made it up, then you point out who he made up? You can also make up one!"

　　Baoyu hummed, "You've been with him for a long time, and it's become vulgar, you really..."

　　"Those who are close to ink are black, aren't they?" Daiyu laughed, "I'm not telling you, how can you compare to your brother?"

　　Baoyu was dumbfounded and tried to refute many times, but Daiyu laughed more and more brilliantly, "You say it!"

　　Baoyu said angrily, "He's so old and he is domineering, what's the difference between him and Brother Pan?"

　　"My brother?" Although Baochai didn't like seeing her little overlord brother, but she also resented Baoyu saying that to him in person, and immediately turned cold, "Brother Bao, my brother didn't offend you, did he?"

　　Baoyu made a slip of the tongue and hurriedly apologized to Baochai.

　　Baochai just ignored it, and Daiyu spat, "I've already said it, what's the use of apologizing?"

　　Baoyu said angrily, "Do you want to follow the example of Jia Zhen? Is it useful to arrest people and beat people indiscriminately?"

　　Daiyu sneered: "When did my brother arrest and beat people indiscriminately? What would you do if you were so wronged? You just went to the old lady to file a complaint!"

　　"You!" Baoyu became annoyed, and his face sank immediately, "I know you for nothing! That's all, that's all." In fact, now that he is a little aware of current affairs, he has read some forbidden books that move his mind, and when he sees a sister at home He was not as good as Daiyu, so he had already saved his mind, thinking that Daiyu and him were childhood sweethearts and would definitely be together in the future.How could she be angry with him for an irrelevant person outside?Does she really not understand her own heart?

　　Unexpectedly, Daiyu sneered again, "I know you recognize me for nothing. Since I'm getting in the way here, I'll move there immediately and go with Miaoyu as my company!"

　　"No!" Baoyu remembered to grab Daiyu's hand: "Good sister, don't go, it's my fault!"

　　Daiyu broke away and said angrily, "It's like a day, don't mess with me!" Saying that, she hid behind Baochai.

　　Baochai persuaded the two of them: "Fu'er is talking angrily. Even if she wants to move, the old lady refuses. Brother Bao, you shouldn't go and pull Frow's hand. Some suspicions, so as not to gossip."

　　"Avoid what?" Baoyu said with a smile, "We've been like this since we were young."

　　"Shut up!" Dai Yu's pretty face blushed, "I was ignorant back then, are you still ignorant now?"

　　Baoyu was embarrassed and annoyed by being robbed, and felt more and more that Sister Lin did not understand his heart, and even Sister Bao scolded him. Baoyu, gritted his teeth and fell to the ground desperately, and said fiercely, "What the hell, I'll smash you to the end!" But the jade was very hard.Seeing that Baoyu was not broken, he turned around to find something to smash.

　　Baochai Daiyu panicked when she saw it, and hurriedly backed away.
