Chapter 4 Spoilers of Red Mansion

Jia Mu asked the younger ones to talk, and Wang Xifeng made fun in front of Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

Lin Daiyu sat down next to Xichun, and Jia Huan sat next to her.

Tanchun first asked Jia Huan, "Huan'er, are you feeling well now?"

Jia Huan said: "Sister Lao San is worried about her. She is already well."

Yingchun and Xichun also asked separately, and Jia Huan answered them one by one.

At this time, Wang Xifeng asked Mrs. Wang: "Have you received your aunt's letter? I wonder when my aunt will come to Beijing?"

Hearing this, the women couldn't help but raise their heads to listen.

Seeing that no one was looking here, Jia Huan said softly to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, the big-faced Bao is coming later - the second brother Bao - he has a serious brain disease..."

Lin Daiyu snorted and almost laughed.

Just listen to Jia Huan continue to say: "When he sees you, he will definitely say that he has seen you before. The ancestors will say that he is talking nonsense, and the big-faced treasure will say: Although I have never seen him, I look good on my face, and I feel like it in my heart." We are old acquaintances, so today it’s okay to just meet again after a long distance.”

"Then he will ask you if you have a character, and he will give you a character called Gongchun. He will also ask if you have a jade. If he knows that you don't have a jade, he will get sick and throw his jade hard."

"Also, when we get to the second wife's room, they all want to harm you. They want you to sit on the front desk, but you must not sit down."

"Well, after dinner, our ancestors will take Baoyu out and arrange it in the Bisha cupboard. Baoyu will definitely stay on the bed outside the Bisha cupboard."

Jia Huan's words made Lin Daiyu's brows gradually furrow.

She couldn't help but secretly collect stools from Xichun and stopped talking to Jia Huan.

In his own words, this Jia Huan must have a serious brain disease.

Otherwise, how could you say such ridiculous things?
Big-faced Bao—How could he know what Brother Bao would say when he saw her?
When we arrived at my second aunt's room, why would any of the servants ask me to be the superior?

In this world, is there any reason for a niece to take the first place in her uncle's room?
As for those people who want to harm me, it is even more ridiculous.

Okay, how could they harm me?
The last paragraph is getting more and more ridiculous. Even if my ancestors really put me in the Bisha cupboard, how could they let Baoyu live on the bed outside the Bisha cupboard?

How can it be that the Jia family has two men who do not understand etiquette and the principle of giving and receiving and not being intimate with each other?

This brother Huan has a serious brain disease. You must stay away from him in the future.

Next, Lin Daiyu talked to sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun, and they quickly became familiar with each other, but she threw Jia Huan aside.

Jia Huan ignored me. Now you are ignoring me. I will surprise you later.

At this time, the fruit plate was removed from the room, and Jia Mu ordered the two nuns to take Lin Daiyu to see her two aunts.

Mrs. Xing stood up and smiled and replied: "It's cheaper if I bring my niece there."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "That's right. You can go too. You don't have to come here."

Mrs. Xing said yes and brought Daiyu and Mrs. Wang to make speeches.

Lin Daiyu went to her uncle Jia She's house, but Jia She did not come out to meet her. He sat for a while and then stood up to leave.

Mrs.

Soon they arrived at the home of their second uncle Jia Zheng and entered the house, but Mrs. Wang was not there.

Lin Daiyu looked at the furnishings in the room and saw:

There are four chairs lined up west and west on the ground, all covered with silver-red floral chair tops and four sets of footrests underneath.There is also a pair of high tables on both sides of the chair. There are tea bowls, vases and flowers on the tables. There is no need to go into details about the rest of the furnishings.The old ladies asked Daiyu to sit on the Kang, but there were two brocade mattresses facing each other on the edge of the Kang. (This paragraph is the original text of Dream of Red Mansions)
At this time, Lin Daiyu couldn't help being surprised. The Kang was clearly the seat of her second uncle and second aunt.She suddenly remembered what Jia Huan said to her at Jia's mother's place.

He said that when he got to the second wife's room, they all wanted to harm you. They asked you to sit at the head, but you must not sit down.

At that time, I still felt that he had a serious brain disease. Is there any reason in the world for my niece to take the top position in my uncle's house?

If she really sat on it, I'm afraid her words that didn't understand etiquette would soon spread throughout the Jia family, right?
By that time, even though her grandmother loves her, there will be no place for her in the Jia family.

These women in the second uncle's room actually wanted to destroy her?
Why are these people so bad?

Aren't they afraid that their second aunt will find out?

Daiyu was thinking about it, but instead of getting on the kang, she just sat on a chair to the east and ate tea.

Before the tea was finished, a maid wearing a red silk coat, a blue satin waistcoat and a toothless waistcoat came up and said with a smile: "Madam, please invite Miss Lin to sit over there."

After hearing this, the old woman led Daiyu out to the three small main rooms in the east corridor.

There is a Kang table across the Kang table in the main room. There are books and tea sets on the table, and a half-worn blue satin back pillow is placed against the east wall and west.Mrs. Wang, however, was sitting on the west side, with a half-worn green satin backrest mattress underneath her. When she saw Daiyu coming, she moved to the east. (This paragraph is the original text of Dream of Red Mansions)
The east side must be where my uncle Jia Zheng sits.

At this time, Lin Daiyu had already stirred up a storm in her heart.

It turns out that my aunt is also the one who wants to harm me?

It turns out that Brother Huan said that the second wife's room is full of bad people, and they all want to harm her. Among these people, even the second aunt is included?

Fortunately, Lin Daiyu had paid attention early, and no matter how frightened she was inside, she didn't show any trace of it on her face.

Seeing that the three chairs in a row next to the kang were also covered with half-worn elastic and ink chair bags, Daiyu sat on the chairs.

Mrs. Wang took her to the kang again and again, and she finally sat next to Mrs. Wang.

Next, Mrs. Wang said that Jia Zheng was fasting and could not see each other today, and asked Lin Daiyu to play with the three sisters and ignore Baoyu.

Lin Daiyu laughed and said, "Are you talking about the brother who was born by Xianyu? When I was at home, I heard my mother often say that this brother was one year older than me, and his nickname was Baoyu. Although he was very naive, he said that among the sisters The relationship is wonderful, and since I am here, I will only stay with my sisters, so my brothers are from another house, so why should I mess with them?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "You don't know the reason: he is different from others. He was loved by the old lady since he was a child, and he was spoiled by the sisters."

"If the sisters ignore him for a day, he will be quieter. Even if he is not interesting, he will just go out of the second door and take his two little boys behind his back to vent his anger for a while and it will be over."

"If the sisters say one more word to him on this day, many things will happen in his heart as soon as he is happy. So I ask you to ignore him. He talks sweetly at one moment, and is all day and night at other times, and is crazy and stupid at other times. Don’t trust him.”

After a while, a girl came to tell her where Jia Mu had sent dinner.

Mrs. Wang sent Lin Daiyu over.

Jia Mu sat alone on the couch in front of her, with four empty chairs on both sides.

Xifeng quickly pulled Daiyu to sit on the first chair on the left, but Daiyu refused.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Your aunt and sisters-in-law are not eating here. You are a guest and should sit like this."

Dai Yufang took her seat and sat down.

Jia's mother ordered Mrs. Wang to sit down, and the three Yingchun sisters came up after taking their seats. Yingchun sat first on the right, Tanchun second on the left, Xichun second on the right, and Jia Huan sat on the left next to Tanchun.

The maid next to her was persistently dusting herself with a duster and rinsing her handkerchief.Li and Feng stood beside the case and made concessions.
