Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 158

Ps:

A few days ago, because of my poor health, I stopped changing.The update will resume from today, and I hope to continue to support it.thank you all.

In addition, Daiyu was slightly taken aback when she heard Baochai's question, and then smiled and said, "Sister Bao is making things difficult for me. I haven't contacted my brother for more than half a year. I really don't know if he went to look for Brother Chu, why? Does Sister Bao have something to ask Brother Chu?"

Baochai smiled mischievously, and took a small sip of tea: "Is there anything I need to bother Brother Chu? It's just a passing thought. It's a pity that Brother Chu failed to go to high school this spring!"

Daiyu shook her head: "Brother Chu may not be interested in the name of the number one scholar, and sister Bao doesn't have to worry about him. Brother Lizhen invited the old ancestor to listen to the opera yesterday, why didn't sister Bao join in the fun?" Baochai saw Daiyu Changing the subject, he sighed helplessly and started talking to Daiyu about the festivals these days.

Daiyu and Baochai chatted happily in the room, and the maids also chatted happily while hugging Xia.It happened to be the first lunar month, and because of the tradition of not being allowed to work during the first month, the maids in the mansion were very free, especially Mu Qing and Qingwen.

Now the two of them have reached the point where they feel uncomfortable not to do needlework. They couldn't work for a first month, so the two of them sketched many novel patterns, and now the son is eager to show them to Daiyu.

But I saw the little girl next to Jia's mother come in and spread the word, saying that Miss Shi is here, and the old lady asked the two girls to go to the room.When Zijuan and others heard this, they hurried in and went back to Daiyu, preparing clothes, preparing the stove, and arranging the accompanying girl.Letting Baochai watch from the side, there is a feeling that she has never really known Daiyu before.

Seeing Baochai's expression, Daiyu smiled and complained to Zijuan: "It's just a trip to the old ancestors. Look at you bluffing, and let Sister Bao watch my jokes for no reason!" Baochai also smiled softly beside her Zijuan said: "Uncle is not at home, we naturally have to be careful everywhere! If the girl thinks we are annoying, wait for the uncle to come back. We just disperse on our own, and there is no need for the girl to chase us away!"

"Look, look. I just said one thing, and they have several words waiting for me!" Daiyu laughed, and Baochai interjected: "Where can I find such a clever girl as Zijuan, sister Lin?" I don’t mind if you dislike me, but one day you girls get bored with you, you can come to me!”

Daiyu smiled and went to make trouble with Baochai, and the two came to Jiamu's yard together.Before entering the main room, I heard a noisy sound coming from Baoyu's yard in the backyard.The two looked around curiously, but it was Baoyu's nurse who was scolding others and being arrogant. Although Baoyu said that she was ill, she was confused after taking medicine, and so on.But to no avail.

Daiyu only took two steps, then stopped, regretting in her heart that she came to see such a bad thing.According to the rules of the Jia family, the nanny who has nursed the master is more noble than the average master, and this Li nanny is taking Joe for it.No less difficult for those girls.

Seeing that Nanny Li's scolding became more and more ugly, words such as seduce Baoyu and teach Baoyu bad came out.Baoyu still only offered a few soft words of persuasion, and Baochai stepped forward and said, "Mother, don't be angry, these girls are ignorant, and mother has to take care of it. It's a big festival. The old lady is happy, so It's not good for the old lady to hear the noise."

But Nanny Li said, "I'm not afraid even if it comes to the old lady. Let the old lady see if there are any rules in our house!" It's hard to see that Xiren is still sick, still only wearing his middle coat, standing in the cold wind and being scolded.Then he looked at the attacker with some embarrassment.

Daiyu sighed lightly.Then he said, "Why don't you see sister Jin Chuan'er?"

Baoyu hurriedly said: "It's a big festival, let the family take it back for reunion. Originally, Xiren was going to go home today. It's not a little cold, so I stayed!" Baoyu saw Daiyu also came, and hurried to go Daiyu took a few steps in front of her, and said with concern: "My sister is cold, let's go in and sit down!"

Daiyu shook her head slightly, Xiren stood at the door and heard Baoyu's words, sobbing louder.Nanny Li was still resting at halftime, but when she heard the attacker's cry, she cursed loudly: "You little whore dares to cry, and you don't care who let you in to serve the Lord, but now you are taking it with me." Get big..."

Daiyu frowned slightly. When Baoyu saw it, her heart tightened, and she said angrily: "Mom, please be careful. Sister Bao and Sister Lin are all here this morning. Why should mother be so unreasonable? Please go back first." , I’ll go see mom again tonight!”

Nanny Li couldn't help being taken aback when she saw Baoyu's serious face.But she knew Baoyu's temperament, so she couldn't help but sat on the ground and cried loudly regardless of her image, cursing Xiren, and lamenting that Baoyu was ungrateful.

Seeing her like this, Baochai couldn't help taking two steps back.Daiyu smiled sarcastically, and said sharply: "Qingwen, you went back to the old lady, saying that Baoyu disobeyed Mother Li, and she wants to ask the cane to take the blame!"

Qingwen knew what Daiyu was thinking, and hurriedly said: "Miss, what you said is wrong. No matter how noble Mama Li is, she is just a nurse mother. How can she let the second master take the blame. Let the old lady know, and I don't feel sorry for her." Weeping. In this new year, we still..." Daiyu glared at her: "What nonsense, you don't understand the rules of the Rongguo Mansion, and the mothers who have nursed the master are very honorable, and Baoyu's identity is It’s also incomparable.”

Said, Daiyu looked at Sheyue and the others again, and said, "What are you still doing, you still don't help Baoyu take off his coat. Let Xiren also kneel down, and after Baoyu pleads guilty, beat ten boards and send them home Rehabilitate."

Sheyue and the others did not dare to move, they all looked at Daiyu in surprise.Baoyu was also stunned, but Baochai was transparent, and said with a smile, "I think that's a good idea." Then he pulled Baoyu's sleeve, and Baoyu realized that he didn't need Sheyue and others, so he did it by himself. You have to take off your shirt and carry the cane on your back to apologize.

Then how dare Mother Li really dare to let Baoyu suffer this crime, and hurriedly said: "It's just the fault of the girls, how can the second master be punished..." As she said, she hurriedly pulled Baoyu's hand, Daiyu smiled and took it Baochai's hand: "Sister Bao, let's go, don't make Yun girl wait! Let Baoyu have a headache about things here!"

Baochai took a deep look at Daiyu, and then they left Baoyu's courtyard together.Baoyu also turned her head to look at Daiyu's back, and then she let Nanny Li go back, and let Xiren recover from her illness.It was only then that I left the courtyard out of boredom. I wanted to go to Jiamu's upper room to have fun with the sisters, but I felt that I was shameless for asking Daiyu to rescue me just now, so I walked out of the house with Mingyan'er.

Baoyu was in a bad mood.It feels boring to go anywhere.Mingyan is also a clever person, knowing that Baoyu might be angry because of the girls in the inner courtyard, so she said with a smile: "Second Lord, you know, a few days ago a jewelry store opened in Yanwei Hutong, Nancheng, and it has become very popular recently. Second master, do you want to go and see, it would be good to bring some things for the girls in the family!" Baoyu really liked it when he heard it, so he hurriedly asked Mingyan to lead the way, and went to Nancheng.

As soon as he arrived near the jewelry store, Baoyu saw many horse-drawn carriages parked on the side of the street. It seemed that the business in the store was indeed as good as Mingyan said.Baoyu looked up.I saw that this jewelry store is a two-story building, which stands out from the surrounding low houses.The name of the jewelry store is also a bit strange, the name is 'Shuangmushi'.

Baoyu frowned slightly.Ask Xiang Mingyan: "Do you know who opened this store?" Mingyan shook his head: "I really don't know, but it is rumored that this store is the property of the Eldest Princess, because a few days ago everyone saw the Eldest Princess from Prince Chechen came with him, but he didn't know whether he was visiting the store or buying jewelry."

Baoyu smiled helplessly and said, "I think you are really confused. How honorable is Her Royal Highness the Princess. Even if this store belongs to the Princess, why bother to go to her old man's house to patrol the shop. You are so confused, so stupid!" Baoyu said. Sighing, she wasn't angry, instead she strode towards the store.

Shuangmushi is very clean, and the shopkeeper is also a generous person.Even though Baoyu was well dressed, she did not show excessive flattery, which made Mingyan a little angry.But other buyers are unusually comfortable.

Facing the shopkeeper's greeting, Baoyu was thinking about how to buy some high-quality jewelry to bring back to Daiyu and Baochai.In a blink of an eye, he saw a familiar figure carefully watching something at the counter beside him.

Baoyu smiled slightly, and waved his hand to signal the shopkeeper not to greet him.Just about to rush towards the familiar figure.I saw a dude approaching.

"Young lady wants to buy pearl jewelry. I have a lot of research on pearls. I can help you tell the difference!" The dude said as he approached the young woman. The beautiful face was Jin Chuaner, the eldest girl next to Baoyu.

The dude took another step towards Jin Chuan'er, and said with a smile, "Young lady, don't worry, it's my kindness." The servant who followed the dude smiled and said, "Our lord is the eldest son of Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Punishment. , you girl, hurry up and salute."

The young master Zhang glared at his servant, then looked at Jin Chuan'er, and said with a smile: "I don't know where the girl is working, why don't you come to our Zhang family, I will treat you well!" Chuan'er's hand.

Jin Chuan'er hurriedly broke away her hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Please respect yourself, Mr. Zhang!"

The young master laughed loudly and stepped forward again.Baoyu looked at the farce in front of him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Have you picked out the things I asked you to buy?" As he spoke, he took up his shelf and walked up to Jin Chuan'er.

When Jin Chuan'er saw Baoyu, he breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted softly: "I've seen the second master!" Baoyu smiled faintly, and looked up at the eldest son in front of him.Although the eldest son is a few years older than Baoyu, he is also slightly taller.But it was not at all comparable to Baoyu's handsome and handsome son-in-law, and he was stunned to be compared by a few points.

Baoyu shook the folding fan in his hand, and smiled politely and distantly: "I don't know what to call this young master, but can I ask for my girl?" The vulgar things, together with the crystal clear jade on Baoyu's neck, have already confirmed Baoyu's identity, and said with a smile: "It turns out to be the second master Bao, no wonder I feel that this girl has an extraordinary aura all over her body. It's Hou Mengui's mansion who can train people. Since she is the girl of the second master Bao, I won't force it. Let's meet again in the future!"

Baoyu cupped his fist slightly, and said with a smile, "It's easy to talk, brother Zhang, go slowly!"

Seeing Mr. Zhang walking out quickly, Jin Chuaner let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Baoyu in surprise: "Why is the second master here again? Don't you need to accompany the old lady today?"

Baoyu looked at Jin Chuan'er with a smile. Jin Chuan'er was wearing a garnet red jacket and a pleated skirt today.No wonder there is that apprentice who wants to get his hands on one or two.

Baoyu looked at the blush on Jin Chuan'er's face, and was also a little distracted.He gently took Jin Chuan'er's hand: "My sister wants to buy jewelry. I'll give it to my sister if I fancy something!" A pair of pearl earrings said: "Look at the strange shape of this pearl. It's long and looks like water droplets and tears. I think if I give it to Miss Lin, she will definitely like it."

Baoyu was taken aback, and looked at Jin Chuan'er in surprise.

Jin Chuan'er smiled embarrassingly: "It's a bit cheap, isn't it? I just think that you and Miss Lin are a little estranged recently, and the second master should take the initiative. It seems that I can only buy this pair of earrings with my monthly money. so……"

Baoyu smiled bitterly: "That means you still think about me so much, but I'm afraid Sister Lin won't like this thing either. Sister Lin has changed so much that I don't even know her anymore. How can there be such a cheap one around Sister Lin now?" Things, even if they are sent over, it will just waste our hearts in vain."

Jin Chuan'er sighed softly: "Baoyu, why do you think so? Miss Lin just has more burdens on her body, so she doesn't play around like before. Besides, Miss Lin has the posture of being a housewife. If you..."

"Forget it, don't say any more!" Baoyu interrupted Jin Chuan'er, with a miserable face that seemed to be about to shed tears.Jin Chuan'er was also a little sad, and patted Baoyu's arm lightly: "The old lady will grant your wish."

Baoyu slowly took Jin Chuan'er's hand, and shook his head lightly: "Needless to say, I know." Baoyu put the pair of earrings on Jin Chuan'er, and said with a wry smile: "I'll see, this pair of earrings The earrings still match my sister's, you don't have to worry about me for my sister Lin's place!"

"Baoyu!" Jin Chuaner looked into Baoyu's lonely eyes and shouted worriedly.

But Baoyu smiled and said, "It's hard to get out, let's go to the temple fair!" Jin Chuaner looked at Baoyu in surprise, but Baoyu pulled Jin Chuaner up and left the jewelry store.

The temple fair was very lively, and the girls from common people's homes didn't have too many scruples, so they all came out to buy some rouge and gouache.Jin Chuan'er also happily picked out a few things, and of course Baoyu paid the bill.Baoyu also thoughtfully took Jin Chuan'er to eat snacks and watch a shadow puppet show, and did not return to Jia's mansion together until very late.

Before entering the door, Baoyu yelled and was exhausted, and walked in with big strides.Jin Chuan'er followed behind, looked at Baoyu's not-so-great back, clenched his fists, his eyes gradually dimmed, and the smile on his lips disappeared.
