The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Chapter 329
In Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu felt very regretful because he offended Daiyu at Tiekan Temple. After returning home at night, he hurriedly went to Daiyu to apologize.

But it didn't work.

No, early in the morning, just after breakfast, he slipped into Daiyu's room again, ready to intercede again.

It was a time when Daiyu was in a low mood.Gain gave her a pair of baby squirrels two years ago. They have grown up, but not long ago, one suddenly fell ill.

Daiyu took care of her in every possible way, but none of them was of great benefit.

When I woke up this morning, I found that he was becoming more and more listless and dying, seeing that the days to come were numbered.

Daiyu hurriedly released it and fiddled with it on the desk, hoping that it could turn the crisis into safety.

Seeing Daiyu's appearance, the maid Zijuan couldn't help persuading Daiyu not to be too sad.

But seeing that Daiyu didn't care much about these words, she thought for a while, walked to Daiyu's side, sat down and said, "Speaking of which, Second Master Bao treats the girl like a girl treats 'Yu Nu' and 'Yu Jiao' Carefully, why doesn't the girl give him a good face?
Last night, the second master Bao begged the girl for mercy in such a low voice, but the girl ignored him, which is really not right. "

Yunu and Yujiao are the names Daiyu privately gave to the two squirrels.

At the beginning, Daiyu couldn't tell the gender of the two squirrels. After the squirrels had grown up a lot, Daiyu did some research and introduced the experience of others, and finally she was able to confirm that the two squirrels Jia Lian gave her were the same. It's mother's.

Hence the two names.

When Daiyu heard that Zicuckoo sent her, she snorted and ignored her.

Seeing this, Zijuan continued to laugh and said: "Speaking of which, our Second Master Jiabao was originally a devil-like figure at home, but since the girl came, he has changed.

Because the girl has no mother, Second Master Bao is afraid that the girl will be wronged in our house, so whenever he gets something good, he always gives it to the girl first.

The girl doesn't want it, so she dares to give it to others.

Just because of his affection for the girl, the girl shouldn't always give people a bad face. "

When Daiyu heard this, she paused for a moment, and then said angrily: "Since he is so good, why don't you be my maid, and I will ask the old lady to send you to his room? Is that also the case?" Consider repaying his kindness!

I don't know what benefits he gave you, let you keep saying good things about him in my ears, hum. "

Zicuckoo laughed.

Jia Baoyu certainly didn't do her any favors, the reason why she did this was actually for Daiyu's sake.

Jia Baoyu is the heart of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and no one in the mansion used to dare to offend.

Although Daiyu is Jia Mu's granddaughter, after all, she is still an outsider in this family.

Now if Jia Baoyu doesn't save any sympathy, if Jiamu and others see it, I'm afraid they will feel unhappy, and it will not be a good thing for Daiyu.

That's why she wanted to persuade Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to reconcile.

Of course, there is no need for Zijuan to tell Daiyu this kind of thing, it seems to invite favor.She chuckled, and with the attitude of a big sister, tolerated Daiyu's choking words, and said with a smile: "Miss, don't say angry words. Don't talk too much about the second master Bao. Among the aristocratic princes in the capital, he is also very good." .

The girl is also a smart person, let's see if there is any grandson who can be so humble and tolerant towards girls?

Just look at Miss Bao's elder brother, that Uncle Xue, who is said to beat or scold the maids in the house and the servants around him.For this reason, sister Bao and aunt told him many times, but they didn't take it seriously.

Only the second master Bao, others said he was too soft-hearted.It can be seen that the second master Bao is really rare.

Besides, the old lady..."

When Zicuckoo said this, she suddenly stopped.

What she wanted to say just now was that no matter how good-looking Jia Baoyu was, the old lady loves you two, and she will definitely kiss you two in the future...

But obviously, even if everyone could guess what Jia Mu was thinking before Jia Mu made a statement, it was not her, a little maid, who dared to expose it first.

Daiyu was moved by Zijuan's words, and did not pay attention to Zijuan's expression.

She admitted that what Zijuan said was right, Jia Baoyu was indeed nice to her, even flattering her.

But what can this prove? It's just to see how good-looking I am.

He treats the maids and maids in their house, and any other good-looking girls, isn't that the case?
She would rather not have such a flattery.

He also took advantage of the girls openly and aboveboard, and did those shameless bad and evil things...

Several times, he actually wanted to hold her hand like he would treat girls, taking the opportunity to belittle her... If she hadn't remembered Lian's second brother's teachings and beware of the difference between men and women, I'm afraid he would have succeeded.

Thinking this way in her heart, Daiyu, who was anxious to argue against Zijuan, didn't think too much, she opened her mouth and said, "No matter how good he is, what does it matter to me? Besides, is he better than Lian's second brother?"

Although I felt a little inappropriate when I said it, I didn't really care.

Anyway, she really felt that the cousin Jia Lian was really respectable.

Lian's second brother also cares about her and loves her, but he has always behaved well and respects her as a cousin.Even when he was in Suzhou back then, when he carried himself on a horse and rode up the mountain, and when he sent him to Beijing for thousands of miles, he didn't have a bad heart for her...

Thinking of it this way, a blush suddenly flashed across Daiyu's small face.

Zicuckoo was dumbfounded.What's the matter, when you mention the second master Lian, why is the girl still shy?

Zijuan is also very clear about the relationship between Jia Lian and Daiyu.

That is a mature and stable cousin who takes good care of his lost cousin.Even though Jia Lian seldom came to talk with Daiyu, everyone in the house probably knew that Second Master Lian's eyes were always on this guest cousin.

In terms of love for the girl, it is only a little less daily action than the old lady.

This makes the girl respect him too.

The girl had a withdrawn temperament, but in front of the second master Lian, she appeared to be well-behaved and sensible.

"Second Master Lian is naturally very good, better than anyone else, but..."

But, silly girl, can these two people be compared together?
No matter how good Second Master Lian is, at most he will take care of you before the girl leaves the cabinet.

But Second Master Bao, that is the person who will live with you for the rest of his life...

"But what?"

Daiyu asked coolly.Seeing that Zijuan admitted that Jia Lian was better than everyone else, it was equivalent to admitting that she was wrong when she said that Jia Baoyu was better than everyone else.

Therefore, he stopped carrying Zicuckoo, glanced at the sickly Anu, sighed helplessly, pulled out the drawer, picked up the needlework that had just started inside, and started to do.

"... Hey, it's rare to see a girl doing this. What are you doing this time?"

"It's nothing, just doing it for fun."

After all, Zijuan is the person who serves Daiyu personally. Recalling the previous two days, Daiyu was rummaging in the house for flowers, presumably it was for this purpose.

Based on the style, she also guessed, "Miss, these are gloves made, look at this fancy style, could it be that they were made for the second master Lian again?"

"If you want to talk too much, if you talk too much, I will kick you out."

Daiyu blushed slightly, scolding Zicuckoo without confidence.

Knowing that Jia Lian was going to send relatives to the Great Wall, she was very worried, but she didn't know what to do for Jia Lian.

I can only think that the gloves that I gave Jia Lian to keep out the cold outside the Great Wall last time were either lost or worn out, so why not make another pair for him.

That's the only way to go, even if it's sending things, you can't send them indiscriminately.This is the only one that can express her heart and is not easy to be misinterpreted.

The master and the servant were whispering in the two private rooms, unexpectedly, all their previous words were heard by Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu stood blankly at the door, with tears in his eyes.

He felt very painful in his heart, he never thought that he was so insignificant in Daiyu's heart.

Daiyu can turn a blind eye to all his kindness to Daiyu!
Instead, compare him with Jia Lian, the point is, he can't compare! !
Jia Baoyu claimed to be refined, but he was a man after all, how could he admit that he was inferior to other men?Especially, in the heart of the girl I care about the most!
No one knew that when he heard Daiyu say that he was no match for Jia Lian, his heart was broken and despaired.

According to the ordinary people, he is no better than Jia Lian, so why does Daiyu think so?
Although Lian's second elder brother also has his own system of conduct, but at the root of it, he is nothing more than those lu beetles who are eager to look up to him and work hard to make money. How can he be compared with such a refreshing and refined young man?

He doesn't ask for money, fame or fortune, he just wants to live for his daughter's family, take care of them, and accompany them...

Isn't this [-] times stronger than ordinary people like Jia Lian?Lin Daiyu, I thought she was a confidant in vain. I thought she was also a person who would not go with the world, but who knows, I misjudged her.

While he was grieving in his heart, he heard the discussion about "gloves" from the master and the servant, which made his mood worse.

She made something for Brother Lian again...

For two years, she hadn't made a single thing just for herself.

Although there are a few of her things in his box, they were made by ordinary Daiyu and he didn't want them, but he worked hard and pestered them to get them.

At this time, if I compare it again, wouldn't I become a joke?
Jia Baoyu, whose heart was as sad as ashes, originally wanted to leave this sad threshold silently.But the unwillingness in his heart prompted him to step into the door step by step, staring fixedly at Daiyu at the desk.

Zijuan was talking to Daiyu when she suddenly saw Daiyu frowning and looking at the front. She turned her head and saw Jia Baoyu. Talk to her, and I'll get you tea."

Faced with Zicuckoo's enthusiasm, Jia Baoyu changed his previous gentleness and politeness.

He ignored Zijuan, just stared at Daiyu stupidly, and murmured, "Why?"

Daiyu saw Jia Baoyu coming in from the door suddenly, and from the other person's appearance, she guessed that Jia Baoyu might have heard something she said to Zijuan.

I still felt a little guilty, but seeing Jia Baoyu being so rude, I questioned her as soon as they met, which made Daiyu lose her temper immediately.

Tossing her head, Daiyu said coldly: "Why? Second Master Bao is so domineering, he broke into my room without saying a word, and still stared at me like this... It was the same thing at Tiekan Temple yesterday. Like, did I come to your house just to see your face?"

As she spoke, Daiyu also felt wronged, and tears fell as soon as she said it.

Jia Baoyu was taken aback, how could she do this, she clearly hurt me, why did she get wronged first?For a moment, I felt weird anger in my heart, and asked: "Let me ask you, how can I compare to others?

Even if I'm bad for a thousand days, I'll be fine one day, right?Since the girl came to our house, day and night, I thought about the girl in my heart, fearing that she would be wronged, so I often came to accompany her to relieve my boredom.

I'm afraid that the old lady and the others won't be able to take care of them. When there is almost something wrong in the girl's room, which time didn't I tell the old lady and ask someone to make up for it?

For so many years, we ate at the same table and slept in the same bed. I thought I was the one who knew girls best, but who knew, I was wrong and sincere.I never expected that the girl would spoil me so much behind my back! "

Jia Baoyu's grievances made tears flow.

When Daiyu heard it, she felt so sad and wronged that she had nothing to say!

Yes, Jia Baoyu helped her a lot, adding and subtracting things in her house, she was grateful.

However, when Jia Baoyu said it so directly at this time, it seemed that this was a charity from his master to her who was under the fence.

Also, why eat at one table and sleep on one bed?It's true to eat at one table. Mother Jia basically eats with her granddaughters and granddaughters, plus Jia Baoyu.

But sleeping in one bed is simply Jia Baoyu's nonsense!

At this time, he actually slandered her verbally, destroying her innocence.

Even in the winter when she first came to Jia's mansion, she and Jia Baoyu both lived in Jia's mother's house, and one slept in the green yarn cupboard and the other slept outside.Not to mention that now, Mother Jia has already allocated houses to her grandchildren and added her own mother-in-law and girl to serve them.

So when Jia Baoyu finished speaking, she raised her eyes, tried her best not to be overwhelmed by Jia Baoyu, and scolded softly: "You damned dare to talk nonsense, who eats at the same table and sleeps in the same bed with you?

If you talk nonsense here again, I will tell my uncle and aunt to go and say that you bully me. "

After all, Daiyu was only eleven or twelve years old, and she lived here as a guest. Facing Jia Baoyu, who was a little out of control, she was still a little fearful and humble, so she had to bring out Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to scare him.

It really worked.

Jia Baoyu's spirit was shaken, and his eyes instantly became clearer.

Zijuan, who had just returned from pouring tea, didn't know that she had only left a few steps when the two cousins ​​quarreled like a pair of black-eyed chickens, rushing up to persuade Jia Baoyu.

"Okay, Second Master Bao calm down. It turns out that the girl has been in a bad mood recently. The Anu she raised is dying of illness, so Second Master Bao should come back later."

With an attitude of keeping things quiet, Zijuan wants to persuade Jia Baoyu to leave first.

Who knew, her words hit Jia Baoyu's pain point again.

He subconsciously glanced at the squirrel on the table...

Jia Lian gave it to her again!

I was even angrier in my heart, coupled with the recovery of my mind, I recalled being so rude to Daiyu.Seeing Daiyu crying with pear blossoms raining down, it was obvious that she was not ready to forgive him, and she was angry, ashamed, and anxious, and couldn't get off the stage.

Zijuan's soft words didn't impress him, he had a flash of inspiration, pushed Zijuan away, and with the other hand tore off the necklace on the gold collar on his chest, which was his "lifeblood", and smashed it heavily. on the table in front of you.

When the top-grade jade came into contact with the pear-blossom table, not only did it make a loud noise, but the precious jade also bounced up to a height of three feet, and then it jingled several times, and it did not know where it fell.

"Ah~"

Seeing this, Zicuckoo's expression changed drastically.

As long as they are in the Rongguo Mansion, there is no one who does not know the jade on Jia Baoyu.

It was something Jia Baoyu brought from her mother's womb, which was regarded as auspicious by the family, and it was also Jia Baoyu's lifeblood.

Even Jia Mu dare not disrespect it!

That is to say, Jia Baoyu was self-willed when he was a child, and when things didn't go his way, he took them out and smashed them, in order to force Jia Mu and others to follow his wishes.

However, I have never seen Second Master Bao hit so hard.

At this time, she didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly bent down and lay down on the ground to look for jade.

The clever Zijuan knows that if there is any problem with this thing in this room, or if it is lost, she may not even be able to save her life!
Even Daiyu, I'm afraid she will suffer a lot.

As for Daiyu, naturally when Jia Baoyu used his big move, she was so frightened by the super loud noise that she even stopped crying.

"Squeak..."

Even the sluggish squirrel on the table was scared out of its wits by the sudden "earthquake".

It turned over in a row, trying to escape in a panic, but unexpectedly its legs and feet were inconvenient, and it stepped on the air and fell to the ground after only two hits, making a smaller "pop" sound than jade hitting the ground.

Although Daiyu saw it, she didn't dare to pick it up at this moment.

Jia Baoyu also saw the little guy's tragic experience, and a gleam of joy flashed in his heart.

This made him also very strange, obviously, he usually likes this little guy very much, he used to come here often, secretly feeding Daiyu behind his back.
