The Second Master of the Red Chamber

In the garden, after Mother Jia and other elders went to take a nap, the sisters also let go of their hands and feet, and met to play everywhere.

They are all girls in their teens, and they don't like to take a nap at first.

When they are free, everyone comes to the Ouxiangxie.

Ou Xiangxie is a waterside pavilion in Liaofengxuan where Xichun lives, built along Qinfang River.This is Xichun's favorite leisure place, and the little girl organized a simple studio here.

Xichun likes to draw, which is known to most people in the Jia family, even Jia's mother.It just so happened that when Mother Jia led Grandma Liu to visit the garden today, Grandma Liu said that the Grand View Garden was as beautiful as the New Year pictures they bought and pasted during the Chinese New Year. She also laughed and said that if I could draw what I saw in my eyes, I would take it back to show off to the villagers. It's even better.

It was a joke, but to show that her granddaughters are proficient in all four arts, Jia's mother asked Xichun to draw a landscape painting of the Grand View Garden, and set some requirements.

This is embarrassing for Xichun.I was too embarrassed to refuse in front of the "guest", so I had to bite the bullet and agree.

No, all the sisters and sisters-in-law knew of her difficulty and came to help her on the spot.

Some taught her how to draw characters, some taught her how to make landscapes, and some taught her how to make a reasonable layout...

In the end, everyone praised Baochai as the best at this, and they were willing to ask Baochai to teach Xichun how to prepare for this important event.Because Baochai said that when the Grand View Garden was built, the craftsmen must have a sketch in their hands. If Xichun can get it, it will definitely be beneficial to the rational layout of the entire picture scroll.

Just when everyone wanted Jia Baoyu to ask for help, they found that Jia Baoyu hadn't been here for some time.

"Second Master Bao didn't come in with the girls. He seemed to have something to do and went outside."

After hearing this, everyone was thoughtful.Thinking that Jia Baoyu used to like to join in this kind of fun, but today he didn't come, probably because of Daiyu.Daiyu still didn't pay much attention to Jia Baoyu, although after Jia Baoyu's provocation last time, Daiyu didn't avoid him anymore.

No one dared to say what they thought in their hearts, because they knew that if they said it, Daiyu would probably leave.

So Tanchun laughed and said, "It's really strange. We didn't even notice that Second Brother Bao didn't come in. By the way, Second Brother Lian said he would come to accompany us last night, didn't he, did he accompany Sister Lin to go shopping in the garden? It's too late." That's right, why haven't you come yet?"

When Tanchun said this, everyone smiled whether they heard Daiyu invite Jia Lian to visit the garden last night or not.

Daiyu glanced at these people, said nothing, and walked to the side to enjoy the flowers.

Seeing that Daiyu was not ashamed and offended by Tanchun's jokes, everyone was secretly amazed, but they didn't dare to chase after her, and turned around to talk about Jia Lian.

"Well, I thought the autumn scenery was the best today, and I wanted to go boating. But I'm too embarrassed to bother Lian's second sister-in-law. It would be great if Lian's second brother was here. It's convenient and fun to have him take us with us."

Tanchun's words resonated with all the sisters, and they all understood what Tanchun meant.It is said that the eldest brother is the father, and Jia Lian's virtues are fully responsible for him, but Jia Lian feels very kind to them, and most importantly, he is unusually tolerant and tolerant towards these sisters.

It can be said that with Jia Lian present, everyone can talk and laugh freely without restraint.This point, even in front of Jia Mu, is far from being possible.

On the contrary, Li Wan heard Tanchun's words, scolded her for being heartless, and asked her if she really wanted to row a boat, so she couldn't arrange it for them, or if she said that only Sister Feng could order those black-covered boats, she, her sister-in-law, would just Not qualified to use it?
This made Tanchun, who knew he said something wrong, hurried forward to please him.While laughing, the woman next to Li Wan laughed outside the pavilion and said, "The girls want to find Second Master Lian, but Second Master Lian has already entered the garden. When we came over just now, we happened to meet Second Master Lian, and he asked After saying a word to the old lady, knowing that the old lady hadn't woken up from her afternoon nap, she left. The servants looked at the direction he was going, and they probably went to Longcui Mountain.

If the girls want to find him, all they need to do is send someone to Quicui Temple to ask. "

"Okay, I knew it. Brother Lian won't break his promise again, let alone sister Lin. He must go up the mountain to make tea with Miaoyu and discuss the truth."

"Why don't we go too."

Everyone in Jia's mansion knows that Jia Lian once regarded Miaoyu from Changcui Temple as a Taoist teacher. In addition, everyone knows that Miaoyu is an elegant person. His proficiency and attention to tea ceremony are beyond the reach of Jia's mansion. Spring "boil tea and talk about Taoism".

It just so happened that everyone also felt that it was useless to be stuck here, and they all wanted to find Jia Lian.Still Yingchun said: "Miaoyu is the person who doesn't like to make noise the most. We only went to make trouble with her before, and now we are flocking to her again. It is inevitable that she is displeased. According to me, just send someone to take a look."

"I'll go."

"I go!"

As soon as Yingchun's words were finished, Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun, who were most motivated, recommended themselves at the same time.

Baochai laughed and said, "Look at you two who are in a hurry, you should go together."

Tanchun and Xiangyun looked at each other and smiled, and they said goodbye to everyone and came out.

Besides, Jia Baoyu, he was still young, to be able to say those words that day, so that Daiyu would no longer avoid him, was already the limit of his courage and emotional intelligence.In the current situation, he doesn't know how to return to the happy days when we were all brothers and sisters together, talking and laughing without any scruples.

There was a huge gap between the hilarity of visiting the garden with Jiamu, Grandma Liu and others at noon and the loss in his heart, so he sadly left the sight of his sisters and walked out of the Grand View Garden.

Going to the second gate, I asked my servant, Mingyan, if he could come back.He gave Mingyan a task, asking him to go to the countryside where Grandma Liu lived, to find the fairy who was pulling firewood under the snow...

Knowing that Mingyan hadn't come back yet, he went to the garden in boredom.

After hesitating for a while at the branch road, he still didn't go to Liao Fengxuan, but chose to go in the direction of Yihong Courtyard.At least, the maids in his own yard won't give him any face, and are going to go back to relax their unhappy mood.

Unexpectedly, when he returned to Yihong Courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was full of silence. Jia Baoyu shook his head and sighed, knowing that the maids probably followed the masters' lead and went to play everywhere.

Slowly entering the room, soon Jia Baoyu was stunned.Through the window, he could hear the sound of snoring coming from his bedroom one after another, and as he approached, it became more and more like thunder and vibration.

He pushed open the glass folding door in a daze and went in, only to smell the smell of wine farts. Looking around the room, in his beautifully decorated and clean bed, there was an old woman lying on her back with her hands and feet dancing. Let's see, it's probably that countryman, Grandma Liu.

Jia Baoyu was stunned and stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

After an unknown period of time, his plump and fair face suddenly turned blue and red.Glancing at the "dirty and smelly" Grandma Liu with disgust, he ran briskly to the door, shouting as he ran, "Come on, come on! Where are you going, come on here!! "

Jia Baoyu's thunderous voice startled the lazy people in the whole Yihong courtyard, including Tanchun and Xiangyun who passed outside the Yihong courtyard.

The two of them walked in suspiciously, and saw that Yihongyuan became completely irritable.The second elder brother Bao, who was always gentle and quiet, was standing on the eaves of the main roof at this moment, not to mention his feet, and kept urging and cursing the maids and mother-in-law in the courtyard.

An old woman was arrested by two servants, and she kowtowed to Jia Baoyu begging for mercy without anyone's orders.Jia Baoyu didn't pay any attention to her, but just scolded the women and said something about getting everything in the house to be taken out and burned.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

Seeing Tanchun and Xiangyun approaching, Jia Baoyu seemed to be forced to restrain his anger, but the anger was still hard to dissipate, so he glanced at Grandma Liu and said nothing.

It was rare for Tanchun to be so angry with Jia Baoyu, so he hurriedly asked his mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law said bitterly: "This crazy woman, she didn't know how to find a coffin to lie on when she was drunk, but unexpectedly, she ran into our second master's room..."

As she said that, the mother-in-law glared at Grandma Liu.But Grandma Liu, who knew that she had caused a catastrophe, could only hurriedly explain such words as "drunk" and "I don't know if it's the young master's house".

Only then did Tanchun and Xiangyun understand, and they glanced at Grandma Liu who was smelling of alcohol. After they exchanged glances, Tanchun stepped forward to help Grandma Liu from the ground.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Brother Bao, why should you be angry about this? The old lady and Sister Feng played tricks at noon, and I don't know how much alcohol they drank her. You also know this. She must have been drunk and fell asleep when she saw a place. Didn't know it was your house."

Tanchun also persuaded: "Exactly, the so-called ignorance is innocent. She is so old, and the second brother can't afford to be angry with her."

While Tanchun was talking, he saw that Grandma Liu was very afraid, so he comforted her, "Don't worry, Grandma, it's fine. It's just that after you had a drink, why didn't you ask others to follow you, and came here by yourself?"

Grandma Liu resentfully said: "Girl, you don't have to say good things for me. It's all because I was confused. I ate too much yellow soup and wandered around. I accidentally bumped into my brother. I deserve to die..."

Seeing that Grandma Liu was about to kneel down to Jia Baoyu again, Tanchun could only support her and smooth things over: "This is all the fault of the maids and wives. The old lady clearly explained that she drank wine when she was old. You must serve them well. They must be lazy and didn't look at grandma.

The second elder brother didn't say that for the sake of her age and ignorance, and for the sake of his wife and Sister Feng, he should forgive him. "

Although relatives who can only be dealt with by eight poles, they came here because of the word "king", and they can be regarded as guests. Naturally, they should be more tolerant of guests, and it is impossible for them to get angry and make it difficult for guests to deal with themselves.

Although Jia Baoyu also understood that Grandma Liu probably made a mistake unintentionally, as long as he thought of being slept by such a dirty woman on the bed he slept in every day, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to die of pain.

He loved his innocent daughter the most in his life, saying that before his daughter got married, her family was made of flesh and blood, a priceless jewel.Once following a man, a lot of problems will appear out of nowhere. Although it is still a bead, it has lost its luster and is a dead bead.

If you're older, don't mention it, it's a dead fish eye!
It can be seen from this that Jia Baoyu's malice towards the old woman is great.

And this Grandma Liu is not only an old woman, but also a countryman, filthy and smelly all over!Although Grandma Liu took a shower and changed into clean clothes before entering the city yesterday, in Jia Baoyu's eyes, she was filthy and smelly.

When Jia Baoyu thought of the thunderous snoring he heard just now after entering the room, and the stench that permeated the room, Jia Baoyu couldn't get rid of the evil thoughts.

After all, it is not enough to insult an old woman from outside, but to scold the maids and women who are still dawdling: "What are you doing, why don't you take out all the things and throw them away! No, burn them all, burn them to ashes! "

When Grandma Liu heard this, she was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

Shi Xiangyun was straightforward, and at this moment he also felt that Jia Baoyu had gone too far, so he said: "Second brother, why is this so! When you talk about Miaoyu, you all say that she is not human, in my opinion, you are not much better than her.

If you dislike others for dirtying you, you can just let the maids take it out and wash it, or you don’t need to give it to the servants.

If you are like this, we will not dare to get close to you in the future, otherwise if you get dirty, we will not be scolded to death by you.

Look at the third sister, when we went to the third sister's house, Ban'er was naughty, and even rolled around on the third sister's couch, the third sister didn't say anything, and even gave Baner a gift! "

The more Shi Xiangyun talked, the more he felt that Jia Baoyu was going too far. Compared with Tanchun's open-mindedness and tolerance, it was nothing like mud.

Only then did Grandma Liu realize that the elegant and tidy room she had visited in the morning belonged to the golden and jade-like lady in front of her, so she hurriedly apologized to Tanchun.

Tanchun smiled and said, "It's okay grandma, Ban'er is a child, so it's fine."

Although Jia Baoyu treats his sisters kindly and doesn't blush easily, he is still a child at heart.Being belittled by Shi Xiangyun in person, he couldn't hold back his face, and snorted coldly: "It's fine if you don't get close to me, girl, go play elsewhere, I won't accompany you."

As he said that, he stepped into the room, personally tore off the bed curtain and threw it on the ground, and ordered the restless servant girls in the room to move out all the decorations and throw them away...

On the corridor, Tanchun and the others who heard the commotion inside smiled helplessly, knowing that Jia Baoyu's stubborn temper had come up.

Just at this time Xiren rushed back, and hurriedly explained the matter to her.

Xiren also frowned, glanced at Grandma Liu, and then said to Tanchun and the others: "Girls, don't worry, I'll go and persuade him. Girls, take Grandma Liu. It's not easy for him to lose face when you are here." Come."

Xiren was known as a virtuous man in Jia's mansion, so he was relieved to hear that her words were quite successful.

Everyone knows that Jia Baoyu is the tip of Jia's mother's heart. If Jia Baoyu has been wronged in this way and Jia's mother is angry, Grandma Liu will find it difficult to take care of herself. .

So Tanchun told the maidservants on the porch, "You are not allowed to tell others about this matter, let the old lady know, it will be to your benefit."

The mothers-in-law also knew the pros and cons, so they hurriedly responded, and were very grateful to Tanchun and the others. If they hadn't been here today, Mother Jia would definitely have known about it.At that time, those who guard the house will have to shed a layer of skin.
