The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Chapter [*] The scene I haven't seen in a long time Another day, Jia Lian went to the old lady's place to settle down, because she talked about Baochai's birthday. The old lady asked Daiyu to sit beside her, and Baoyu was on the other side. She smiled at Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue said: "This child Baochai is stable and peaceful, and is much stronger than the girls in our family. Since tomorrow is her birthday, and she will be a big girl, I am a big girl. Twenty taels, hand over to Brother Feng to arrange a wine show. How?"

Aunt Xue hurriedly postponed and said: "How can this make it better for me to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, please the old lady and sister have a good time, not for Baochai's birthday, just be my filial piety."

The old lady said sternly: "You are a guest, there is no reason for you to spend money, you must obey me and let Feng girl do it!"

Sister Feng jokingly said: "An old ancestor made birthdays for children, no matter what, who dares to fight, and what kind of wine show is held. If you are happy and want to be lively, you can't say how much money you spend on yourself. Baba finds out this moldy two Twelve taels of silver to be the host, which means that I will pay for it. This is enough wine and enough drama."

The whole room laughed. So Jia Lian also laughed and said: "On the birthday of sister Baochai, how can I let the old lady get all the money from me. If I don't have any more, I will secretly take the old lady to the library. Gold ones, silver ones, round ones, flat ones, and the ones that have collapsed the bottom of the box are shipped out. Just ask Sister Yuanyang to cover them up."

The mandarin duck on the side immediately blushed and spat: "Second Master, who will cover up with you and tell the old lady to go."

The whole room burst into laughter. The old lady grabbed Daiyu Baoyu's hand, "Listen, it's a good thing I still have such a loyal girl watching, or else you would have been deceived."

Because he asked Baochai what dramas he liked to listen to, what he liked to eat, etc. Baochai knew that the old lady was old, she liked lively dramas, and she liked sweet and rotten food, so she always said it according to the old lady. It was even more joyful. When everyone was talking and laughing, Jia Lian said goodbye first, and then saw Daiyu following, so they went together. Daiyu spat: "You stay away from me!"

He threw the handkerchief over. Jia linked it, but it was the old handkerchief that was cut off that time. He used twigs and plum blossoms to mend the seams. "If it breaks again, it will not be able to be sewn."

Jia Lian looked at it with a smile. "Bah!"

Daiyu said annoyed: "I'm still angry who is smiling with you! But remember you took me out! Don't forget."

Jia Lian nodded, "How can I forget?"

After passing the backyard, Jia Lian wanted to grab Daiyu's hand, but Daiyu glared at him. Seeing Li Wan walking towards this side again, he had no choice but to give up. Daiyu bowed his head and walked over. , so embarrassed and remorseful, he couldn't look at him. His face was flushed, but he had to pretend that nothing had happened, one bowed, the other was blessed, the other was called Wan'er, the other called the second master, the other took a step closer, and the other even said please respect yourself. Seeing her hurriedly leaving, Jia Lian was really confused. He pulled Su Yun and asked, "What about your grandma?"

Su Yun left and right: Looking at no one, he gave Jia Lian a bad face, "It's not you yet"

Because I have to ask about it another day. Everyone has prepared clothes and playthings to give to Baochai first. Jia Lian is a complete set of head and face, four seasons clothes, and a big golden lock. Baoyu is the most thoughtful, It's a box of rouge made by herself. Aunt Xue picked up the... golden lock, and the words engraved on it were exactly the same as those of Baochai. "It's rare that your brother has a heart."

Baochai picked up the box of rouge and handed it to Tongxi, "Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to buy rouge? It's already available and saved. Just don't say I gave it to you."

Aunt Xue even said a few good things, "Baoyu is the best at these things. You can use it for Baochai."

She hugged Baochai, "I'm afraid that I will wrong you in the future. It's all your unworthy brother. If he has half of the chain brother, no, if he has one tenth and 10%, I can rest assured that I don't have to let you suffered."

Baochai blushed and said in a sullen voice, "Mom, I don't understand what you said."

"Silly boy, what's the shame about that"

Aunt Xue said with tears in her eyes: "You are a sensible and filial one. We live in their house, although we will take care of all expenses by ourselves, in fact, we rely entirely on the power of his family, and with the protection of Brother Lian, we can barely maintain it. The business of the Xue family. If your father hadn't died early, I wouldn't have to worry about this."

Baochai took out the handkerchief to wipe her aunt's tears, and persuaded, "Mom, let's do our best. As long as my brother comes back safely, even if he is not home, he will gradually get better with him in front of him."

The next day was twenty-one, so the old lady set up a small home-style stage in the inner courtyard, and ordered a new group of small dramas, both of Kun Yi’s two voices. The guests, only Aunt Xue, Xiangyun, and Baochai are guests, and the rest are all their own. Jia Lian squeezed in the middle, which made the old lady unhappy, "You are a man mixed with the girls, go eat with your uncle and nephew. Wine to go."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Uncle is working with Zhan Guang, and they recite poems and paintings. I don't like them. It's still the old lady's lively place here. Allow me to sit."

The old lady said, "Just watch the show if you like it, you can't make a fool of yourself."

So I asked people to order some dramas. Baochai and others ordered them according to what the old lady liked. Because I skipped Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang, the old lady said: "I brought you here to make fun of you today, we just take care of ours, don't Take care of them. I sing, play, and drink wine, because they are not free to listen to them here, it is already cheap, and let them order it!"

After speaking, everyone laughed. Then Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun, Ying, Tan, Xi, Li Wan, Xiuyan, etc. all ordered and took over the role. There was no role for Jia Lian. Xiangyun pestered Jia Lian to ask this question. Asking where, sometimes makes people laugh. Baoyu walked over to Daiyu, quietly took out a bunch of beads, and wanted to give it to Daiyu, "This is the reward from the Empress last time, I don't see you, why don't I give it to you! "

Daiyu turned around and didn't even look at it. "I don't care if you give it to someone else: I haven't had time to wear it since my brother gave it to me!"

Baoyu had no choice but to withdraw his hand, "You take what Brother Lian gave you, why don't you want mine?"

Daiyu turned around and said, "A piece of paper and a leaf from my brother are all good. Even if you moved here, I don't look down on it."

Baoyu froze on the spot. Daiyu spat, then ignored him, and only smiled with Xiuyan. The old lady here said to Aunt Xue and Madam Wang: "You always say that I am partial to two Yu'er, as long as They can be fine, and I can close my eyes too."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "The two of them are also worrying enough. One ignores the other but wants to provoke them. I just hope that they can grow up and become sensible."

Aunt Xue nodded and said, "I look at them like golden boys and girls, it's the blessing of the old lady!"

Mrs. Wang glanced at Aunt Xue in surprise. "Sister, you're joking."

The old lady was about to speak, when Baoyu suddenly grabbed the jade on her body, "What do you want to do with this slut, even Sister Lin dislikes it!"

If you take it off suddenly, you will smash it down hard.

Chapter [*] What happened , took the psychic jade from his hand. At this moment, Baoyu only felt that her entire hand was wrapped by the iron palm, and she couldn't move at all. Hearing Jia Lian coldly say: "This is sister Baochai. It's a good day, don't make the old lady unhappy and disturb everyone's happiness. Do you hear me?"

Baoyu still shouted to himself: "I smashed my own jade, what does it have to do with you?"

Jia Lian looked at him up and down with a smile: "Baoyu, you are very capable. Let's talk about it, what was the big deal just now, show your prestige in front of your sister"

Saying that, the old lady over there has already rushed over, "Stop!"

Yuanyang and Aunt Xue supported her and hurriedly reprimanded: "Let go, why do you just think I'm dead?"

Mrs. Wang also took three steps and two steps, hurriedly tore Baoyu away, hid behind her, and asked, "Brother Lian, Baoyu is your younger brother."

Just now Jia Lian smiled and said to the old lady and Mrs. Wang, "I don't know what happened to Baoyu just now, and I want to throw jade in front of everyone. Old lady, auntie, how could Baoyu's lifeline be something that can be thrown casually? It's damaged and can't be used anymore, who can afford this responsibility. So, I took it early in the morning, lest the whole family be in trouble, why bother?"

The old lady came over and asked anxiously, "Where's the jade?"

Jia Lian handed the jade in his hand to her. "Amitabha, what kind of evil did I do!"

The old lady asked, "It was fine just now, why did it fall again?"

Madam Wang said, "I ask you, what's going on?"

He couldn't help but glance at Jia Lian. Jia Lian didn't care. He walked over to Daiyu and looked at her with concern. Daiyu smiled at him. Jia Lian was relieved. , "Sister Lin is only annoyed that the second brother Lian gave things, but not my beads."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, but Madam Wang said: "Your beads were given by the empress, how can you give them away indiscriminately? Your sister also thought about this, so she didn't accept it. Don't beat you! Okay, stop crying, toast your sister Bao, today is her birthday, don't make trouble anymore, ah"

The old lady sighed, "It's not that you are friends who don't get together. If I can't get up in one breath, I'll just go there. I can't see you making trouble like this."

Aunt Xue persuaded: "It's all children's homes, and there is no one who bumps into each other, even if they are brothers and sisters, so don't worry, old lady, they will be fine by themselves in a few days."

He helped the old lady to sit down again: After a few words of relief, the old lady didn't speak. Jia Lian looked at Daiyu worriedly. Seeing tears in her eyes, Jia Lian felt distressed. He wished he could hug her to comfort her and return In the past, Sister Feng was standing aside. So Sister Feng hurriedly stepped forward and put her arms around Daiyu, softly comforting her in her ear, "Baoyu is just a little kid, don't have the same knowledge as him. Let your brother send one tomorrow. Car beads, worn on the head, on the body, wiped on the face, I will watch it for you myself."

Daiyu burst into laughter just now, and looked at Jia Lian showing off. Xiangyun, however, held Daiyu's arm and said jokingly: "Elder Sister Bao gave so much to brother Ai for her birthday, and Sister Lin was angry, and brother Ai also gave so much. I will have a birthday tomorrow, and I will be angry once, but I don’t know what my brother will give me.”

Jia Lian smiled behind her and said, "I'll give you a pen and a stack of paper, and order you to finish all 10 rhymes of "Ping Shui Yun", otherwise, I won't let you go back. If your uncle asks, I'll let him redeem it with money."

Xiangyun smiled and said, "My uncle won't come to redeem me! My happy day is a rhyme, but you can't drive me away, brother love!"

Daiyu spat: "I've said it several times, but I'm biting my tongue and loving to talk, or I love my brother, and I love my brother. We all know that you love my brother."

"oops!"

Xiangyun blushed and was about to beat Daiyu. So the two laughed for a while. Because they were in the old lady's room, they didn't dare to be presumptuous and chased after them for a while. Sister Feng glanced at them and then again. Jia Lian, with a half-smile, "Okay, sisters, we are still acting! Let's sit down: the old lady of the province will say that the elder sister-in-law didn't teach you the rules, which will make her difficult."

At the end, he added, "You call me Sister Feng, you must listen to me and sit down!"

These girls sat quietly and listened to the show. Daiyu Xiuyan’s heart was pounding, and she thought she didn’t listen to what Sister Feng just said, but she didn’t know her ears were turning red. On the other side, Baoyu offered a toast to Baochai, and Baochai had no choice but to Xiao took a sip and put it down. Baoyu looked at her with her snow-white and charming eyes, and couldn't help but feel envious, "Sister Bao, these scenes are lively, you like listening to them too."

Baochai moved over quietly and said, "If you want to say that this is a lively show, you still don't know how to play. This is a set of Bei's "Little Crimson Lips".

Baoyu smiled and said, "Sister Bao said yes, it must be good."

He also praised Baochai for having no books and I don't know. Baochai was impatient, and continued without a word. Unfortunately, Baoyu was blind, but Daobao's sister understood him, so she used the frustration she had just suffered from Daiyu. On Baochai. Baochai looked around, the sisters were on one side, Baoyu on my side, and mother on the other side. There was nowhere to hide. I looked at Jia Lian helplessly, but he happened to be looking too. The two looked at each other and hurriedly parted again. Baochai hurriedly lowered her head, and had no choice but to say to Baoyu: "Quietly watch the show, the old lady who is careful not to be noisy can't listen well."

At this time, Baochai was also in all kinds of sorrows, and I didn't know what to do. Just now, when Sister Lin was so decisive, was it because they were laughing and chatting on weekdays? Sister Lin was ill, and her brother was in such a hurry. Now that I think about it, it seems reasonable. .Then, shouldn't I be "Sister Bao"?

Baoyu came over to ask. Baochai suddenly looked at Baoyu in surprise, and her heart was still at a loss. Jia Lian over there didn't know what was going on. She just saw Baochai look at her, and there seemed to be something to say to him. So he poured the wine and walked in front of Baochai, "Sister Baochai, my brother toasts you, there is a poem that I remember like this. All the fragrant kingdoms celebrate their birthdays, and the butterfly plate Yingling makes a congratulatory sound. When you are ripe, I wish you longevity for the flowers."

Baochai became more and more flustered, still thinking that if her brother and Yu'er were really like that, how could she not, she couldn't help shaking her head. But when she came like this, Jia Lian was stunned, "Sister"

Aunt Xue, who was on the side, was also anxious for her at the moment, and hurriedly smiled: "Your sister is still thinking about the poems you made."

He took the wine glass for her. Jia Lian looked at Baochai curiously. But Baochai's face was flushed and his eyes were flickering. He didn't know what to do!

Chapter [*] What should I do about "Sister Baochai"

Jia Lian called again from the side. Baochai woke up just now, and suddenly saw Jia Lian, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Jia Lian laughed and said, "I didn't pay attention to your wine just now, why are you wandering in the world, thinking of something good?"

Baochai said: "It's not a good thing. I don't have anything in my hand, and I even said toast!"

Jia Lian just picked up the wine just now, "The sister can hear the poem I just read."

Baochai said blankly, "What poetry?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It's nothing. You just drink this cup!"

Baochai looked at him with a pair of watery eyes, sighed before picking it up, raised his head and drank it. It seemed a bit bitter, maybe it was an illusion, Jia Lian asked with concern: "Sister, are you really okay?"

Baochai hurriedly smiled and shook his head, "It's alright, I was just thinking of a word just now, but I don't know the next sentence, I was thinking about it."

Xiangyun heard the words, and hurriedly came over and asked: "Sister Bao, what are the words, maybe we can help you continue!"

Before Baochai could speak, Sister Feng pulled Xiangyun back, "Pingbai is doing poetry and poetry, and watch the play."

Just now, the embarrassment was covered up. So everyone went to the show. When it was late, the old lady loved the Xiaodan and a clown very much, and ordered someone to bring them in. Ask the age, the Xiaodan was only eleven years old, and the clown was only [*] years old. He was nine years old, and he was like a succulent. The old lady asked him to give him some other fruits and two other pieces of money. Sister Feng said with a smile: "This child is pretending to be a person, you can't see it anymore. come out."

Baochai also knew it in his heart, so he just smiled and refused to speak. Jia Lian saw that they were not girls from his own troupe, but Sister Feng was joking for a while. Xiangyun looked carefully, and was about to speak. : "It's a bit like. The eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Keqing, but the stature and posture are like Qingwen. Ancestor, if you like them, why don't you stay and wait for you."

However, the old lady shook her head and said, "They also have a mother waiting at home from a small family, like a treasure. How can I separate them from flesh and blood? It is absolutely absolutely impossible to accompany my old lady, so that I can let them go out and not scare them. ."

I asked a few more words, which is really pitiful. Sister Feng smiled and said, "The ancestors are still kind and kind. If I like it, I will leave it for sure. I will not treat them badly, and offer delicious food and drink."

The old lady also smiled and said, "Listen, you are used to being overbearing. No matter how good the food is, it is not as good as a bowl of brown rice at home."

Sister Feng immediately said, "Then why don't we move all her sons here?"

The old lady said cheerfully: "You're the boss, so you don't have no money, so you don't know how to calculate and you should study it carefully with your mother-in-law."

It disappeared for a while. Sister Feng took Aunt Xue and walked in front, while Daiyu waited in the middle to laugh. Only Jia Lian and Baochai unknowingly fell behind. "Baochai, why are you so lost today?"

Jia Lian asked with a smile. Baochai shook her head, and now she is still confused, how to say it, the girl's family should ask him to twist the handkerchief in his hand and walk forward silently. Jia Lian joked again: "Sister Fifteen today"

Baochai looked up at him, blushed and said angrily, "I don't need your reminder. Anyway, I won't depend on your house."

As she said that, she was about to leave. Jia Lian hurriedly took her hand, "Sister, that's not what I meant."

"You let me go! Pulling and pulling."

Baochai rushed away and caught up with Xiangyun and the others. Xiangyun smiled and said, "Sister Bao, we are just talking about you. When the old lady was there, Brother Bao looked at you like that. Even the wife asked him to toast you. ."

Daiyu smiled and said, "My brother went to toast, but Sister Bao didn't pick it up. She's really a heroine, but I wouldn't dare. My brother is the most bully."

At this time, Xichun disagreed, "Sister Lin, we all know when elder brother bullied you, elder brother loves you the most!"

Daiyu said angrily: "Xichun, you only see that my brother is good to us, you don't know how much he took from me! I don't mention the usual shoes and socks, it was voluntary. But sister Qian Erfeng took it. Brother's official uniform, there is a big hole in the front, saying that Qingwen is too busy to make it up, and I will wear it immediately."

Tan Chun smiled and said, "We've all done it. Second sister still has a crane cloak in her hand that she hasn't finished, and sister Feng has another cloak. I even have two pairs of shoe uppers in my hands."

Yingchun said lightly: "I'm fine on weekdays, and I can't do anything else. I can only help my brother to sew and mend. It's my heart!"

Daiyu praised: "You all listen to what the second sister said, this is a good sister!"
