Chapter 72

Perhaps because she was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable after eating too much wine, Aunt Xue served the sour bamboo shoot and chicken skin soup herself, and let Baoyu drink two bowls, and then watched him eat half a bowl of green rice porridge before giving up.

After eating, Aunt Xue ordered tea to be poured again. Daiyu remembered that her sister had said not to drink tea immediately after the meal, so she didn't drink it.

On the contrary, Jia Baoyu, under the persuasion of Aunt Xue and Baochai, drank two cups to hangover.

Although I said to keep him here just now, it was just polite words, Xue Pan didn't come back today because of something, how could a house full of children and family members keep him here, it was just to coax him to play.

Baoyu was still thinking about the maids in his room, so naturally he would not stay. Aunt Xue and Baochai persuaded him, so he drank the tea.

Several people sat and talked for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Daiyu got up and prepared to leave: "It's getting late, I should go back, and if I don't come back, my sister should come and look for me, and I won't leave today." Stay any longer, if Auntie and Sister Bao are free, just go and find me to play."

Aunt Xue and Baochai hurriedly stood up to persuade them to stay, after the three of them exchanged some pleasantries, the mother and daughter personally sent him outside the door.

When they arrived at the door, they saw that there was already a sedan chair waiting there. After a closer look, they were the people sent by Jiusi to pick up Daiyu. When they saw them come out, they all bowed and greeted them.

"I have seen Mrs. Xue and Miss Bao, and I will greet you both."

Seeing Aunt Xue, she hurriedly asked people to get up: "There is no need to be so polite, get up!"

Wu Yue walked up to her with a smile, nodded to her, and then told the three of her intentions: "Young lady, seeing someone go back to get a cloak or something, I know that you are in a hurry to come out, for fear that you will catch the cold in thin clothes. , so I asked my maidservant to bring the sedan chair, at least it can cover the wind and snow more."

While speaking, he still didn't forget to put a furry cloak on Chao Daiyu, wrapping her tightly.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I just said that girl Lin has a heart for Daiyu, look, she doesn't feel at ease when she goes out to play, it shows how much she cares for Daiyu."

Baochai also echoed with a smile on her face: "Yes, Sister Lin's love for Daiyu is really unmatched by anyone. I want to snatch this sister away."

When Daiyu heard what the two said, she was overjoyed. After exchanging greetings with them with a smile, she was carried into the sedan chair by Wuyue.

Afraid of misunderstanding, after carrying him into the sedan chair, Wu Yue explained with a smile: "When the servant girl came, her shoes were slightly wet from the snow on the ground, and her feet were very cold. The girl can't bear the cold, so don't bother." Just touch the snow."

After finishing speaking, he nodded to Xue's mother and daughter, gave a signal, and asked someone to carry the sedan chair back.

When everyone heard this, they were amazed at the other party's strength and carefulness, but they didn't know what to say.

Although Jia Baoyu sobered up in the house, he could clearly hear what happened outside the house.

Recalling Daiyu when he lived with him in the bisha cabinet, everyone ignored her, and compared to how big sister Lin cares for Daiyu today, he was a little hesitant to say anything.

In the past, if they went somewhere to play, let alone someone preparing things for Daiyu, even if she ordered those people to do things, few would be willing to listen.

But today they only stayed here for half a day, and Big Sister Lin just sent someone to deliver something later.

First it was a hand stove, then food, milk tea and play, and later sent someone to deliver fruit wine for the girl, in order not to make my aunt feel uncomfortable, and said that it was her inconvenience to come, and it was a gift for Baochai, which can be described as careful To the extreme.

And Daiyu's unfriendly attitude towards him today, it's not that he didn't feel it, it's just that he didn't want to admit it.

He didn't understand why they suddenly became so divided. Could it be because of Big Sister Lin's arrival?
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and I didn't want to lie here to sober up anymore, so I got up and got off the kang, and asked the little girl to help him get dressed before going out.

When Aunt Xue's mother and daughter entered the door, they happened to bump into him. Seeing that he was about to leave, they said, "Your mother and I haven't come yet, let's wait a little longer."

Baochai also persuaded, "The snow is slippery outside, and you just drank wine, you might as well rest here before going back.

If you go back in a hurry now, in case you accidentally fall, what will happen? "

Baoyu was upset and didn't want to stay in the house anymore, so he said a little irritably: "What am I waiting for her, it's enough to have girls follow, when she comes, my aunt will order someone to tell her. "

Then he said to Baochai: "It's just a few glasses of wine, and I'm not so drunk. If sister Bao is really afraid that I will fall, then I'll just be careful, and it's okay."

Seeing that he insisted on leaving, the mother and daughter couldn't stop them, and couldn't say anything more, so they had to send him out.

In the outer room, the little girl hurriedly brought the bamboo hat, Baoyu lowered her head a little, and ordered her to put it on for herself.

The girl shook the gorilla felt hat and was about to put it on Baoyu's head, but Baoyu suddenly became angry: "come on, come on, what a stupid thing, you don't know how to be lighter, don't you see Can someone else wear it?

Give me the bamboo hat and let me wear it myself. "

Seeing this, Aunt Xue smiled and stretched out her hand to take the bamboo hat: "My son, the little girl doesn't know what's going on, so why be annoyed, Auntie is here to put it on for you."

Seeing that her aunt had spoken, Baoyu didn't want to make trouble anymore, so she had to bow her head and move closer.

Aunt Xue tidied it up with her hands, gently encased the hair crown, tucked the brim of the hat over her forehead, and lifted the crimson velvet hairpin the size of a walnut, tremblingly exposed outside the hat.

After tidying up, he looked at it carefully, and then he smiled and said: "Well, my son is really handsome, well, go and put on the cloak."

After hearing this, Baoyu thanked his aunt with a smile on his face, then took the cloak and put it on, and said goodbye to her.

Aunt Xue was afraid that he would not wake up from the wine, and worried that he would go back alone, so she ordered her two daughters-in-law to go back with him and come back when he arrived.

The two obeyed their orders and followed, and escorted him all the way back to Rongqingtang, met with Jia Mu and returned the word, and then went back to Pear Fragrance Court to inform Aunt Xue.

After hearing this, Aunt Xue said "Got it", and went back to the house to rest.

When Baoyu returned to Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia hadn't had dinner yet. Knowing that he had come from Aunt Xue and had drunk again, she ordered him to go back to his room to rest and not come out again, and told the servants who followed him Haosheng waited on him.

Suddenly remembering that the nanny who followed Baoyu was not there, he asked everyone: "Isn't Nanny Li following Baoyu? Why don't you see her?"

Everyone didn't dare to say that she went home, but said: "I just came in, I don't know, I think I went because of something."

Hearing this, Baoyu staggered back and shouted, "She is more useful than the old lady. Ask him what to do. Without her in charge, I'm afraid I can live two more days." After that, he was helped back Bisha cabinet.

Back in the bedroom, seeing the pen and ink on the record, Qingwen came out to pick him up first, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let me study a little ink, get up early and write only three words, then put down the pen and leave, coax We have waited for this day, come and finish writing these inks with me, otherwise I won’t help you grind ink next time.”
