Chapter 9: Dicui Pavilion and Baochai Playing Butterfly, Qingwen Takes in a Servant

"elder sister……"

The girl choked and shouted, and Qingwen raised her head suddenly.

The person who came was Lin Daiyu. For some reason, she cried again, her eyes were red and a little swollen.

Qingwen quickly asked Mama Zheng to watch the fire, and led Daiyu into the house herself, soaked her cotton towel in hot water, and covered her eyes with hot compress.

"Sister, who is upsetting you? Tell me, I'll vent my anger for you."

"Last night, I went to see Baoyu, but no matter how much the little girl called me, I didn't open it."

Daiyu sobbed and was very sad, "It was said that the second master gave the order, and no one was allowed to put it in. But I clearly heard that he and Sister Bao were laughing in the room. My sister said, "Are he annoyed me?"

Oh? Lin Qingwen frowned.

If she remembers correctly, it is the original owner who does not open the door for Daiyu in the book.

Why is she moving to Tubi Villa now? This incident happened still.

Really, which one who doesn’t open his eyes replaced the original owner’s position?

Actually, no one blames this, but Daiyu is too concerned about Baoyu.

What should we do with this pair of enemies who cannot be disassembled?

"Maybe the girls didn't hear your voice, and they didn't mean to not open the door for you. Just ask Baoyu for this matter clearly. Don't think about it yourself and get angry."

Qingwen pulled Daiyu to the yard, "I will eat a piece of dried tofu today to try it?"

Madam Zheng, who was watching the fire, smiled and said, "The tofu has to be cooked for a while. Let's go out for a walk? Today is the Mongol Festival, and the garden is very lively, and other girls are playing outside."

"Middlefish Festival?" Qingwen laughed in silence.

These days she was busy and actually forgot about this.

One of the famous scenes in "Dream of Red Mansions", "Yang Fei's opera in the colorful butterfly in Dicuiting", is about to be staged today.

"Let's go, sister, let's play with you too." Qingwen said without hesitation, dragging Daiyu, who was slightly red and swollen from the door.

After descending to the main mountain, the two of them walked towards the Dicui Pavilion.

After passing through the willows, Baochai suddenly saw her in front of her, holding a fan in her hand, chasing a pair of jade butterflies as big as a ball of fans.

The butterfly rose and fell, and came and went, causing Baochai to tiptoe, run and stand, and she didn't pounce on her, but she made her sweat profusely and her breathing slightly. Her white skin turned pink due to the heat, as bright as the peach blossoms in spring.

"Sister, do you think that's not Sister Bao?"

Daiyu pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "She is usually the most stable and dignified sister. Why did she look like this light and rude now?"

"You!" Qingwen shook her head gently.

Baochai is just a fifteen-year-old young girl, and she is at the age of being lively and fussy. How could she be an old lady who is as quiet as stagnant?

Just because she was tired of her family, she had to wrap herself in a calm shell all day long, and her heart was full of enthusiasm and she could not vent her casually.

The occasional true feelings and true feelings are understandable.

It’s just that because of Baoyu, Daiyu always doesn’t like Baochai, who is as good as her.

"Let's follow her and see what she does?" Qingwen pulled Daiyu and followed Baochai quietly.

After a while, Baochai, who was close to Dicui Pavilion, stood there motionlessly, listening carefully to the movements in the pavilion.

Inside, the two maids in Jia Baoyu's courtyard, Xiaohong and Zhuo'er, were quietly talking about Xiaohong and Jia Yun, the young master of the Jia family, who was secretly passing the handkerchief.

When Xiaohong heard this, he pushed open the inner window of Dicuiting.

The Dicui Pavilion is covered with water in the pond, with curved bridges on all sides, and there is nowhere to hide.

Baochai couldn't dodge, so she became quick and became wise, stepped forward with a heavier pace, shouting, "Pin'er, I see where you hide?"

As if she had just seen Xiaohong and Zhu'er, she asked with a smile: "I just saw Miss Lin playing water here. I wanted to scare her quietly, but she disappeared after walking around. I don't know which mountain cave I was drilling in? I insisted on finding her."

She turned around and ran away, leaving Xiaohong messy in the wind, still suspicious of Daiyu, who was used to being careful and mean, and heard her affair with Jia Yun.

Daiyu was far away and never heard that Baochai pushed her out as a shield to avoid embarrassment. Seeing her coming towards her, she asked with a smile: "Sister Bao, why are you walking so fast?"

Baochai looked a little embarrassed, then came up to take her arm and said intimately: "Sisters, even Feng Meitu are playing there, but you are not here. I was just saying I was going to find you, come with me quickly."

Qingwen smiled faintly, and blinked at Daiyu and said, "You go play with Sister Bao first, I'll say a few words to Xiaohong."

Xiaohong saw Daiyu and Qingwen in the distance from afar, and knew that Daiyu had not heard anything, and felt relieved.

Seeing Qingwen coming towards her, she quickly came up and asked with a smile: "Miss Qing, what are the instructions?"

"Xiaohong, I know about you and Mr. Yun in the back porch."

Qingwen said straightforwardly, "Do you want to come to serve me? If you have the chance in the future, I will definitely make the decision for you."

"girl!"

Xiaohong knelt in front of Qingwen with a "pop" sound, "No one dares to say Xiaohong's thoughts. If others know me, I will not be able to live. If a girl can make the decision for me, she will be my lifelong benefactor. Xiaohong is willing to serve the girl with all her heart and strength, and repay the girl with a leash."

"Since that's the case, you go back and pack your own cage first. When I report to the old lady and the second grandma Lian, I will pick you up."

Xiaohong is the daughter of Lin Zhixiao, the second steward of the Jia family. Jia Baoyu cannot enter the inner room to serve him.

But she looks pretty and has ambitions, and always wants to show off in front of Baoyu and climb upwards.

The original owner was arrogant and looked down on her like this. He and his other girls in the yard often snatched her and ridiculed her.

However, Lin Qingwen, who comes from modern times, admires her very much.

What's wrong with climbing up? No matter what world is, who doesn't want to climb above everyone?

As long as she climbs up straight, does not step on others, does not harm the truth, who will be hindered?

Xiaohong is a capable girl. In the book, she was attracted by Wang Xifeng and took her to be a maid in her house.

Xiaohong was also a grateful girl. In the future, when the Jia family was in trouble, Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu were imprisoned in the prison temple, only she and another maid named Qianxue who had been driven out of the mansion had gone to visit them.

Just for these two points, Qingwen had long been planning to bring her to her side. She needed a capable and loyal partner.

Qingwen was worried about her braised tofu, and after solving Xiaohong's case, she hurried back to Tubi Villa.

Madam Zheng had already turned off the heat and was simmering under the lid of the pot.

Qingwen picked up a piece and filled it into her mouth, "Oh!" She almost bit her tongue off with beauty.

It is worthy of being a vegetarian recipe included in the "Vegetarian Record" by the God of Food. The dried tofu is fresh and fragrant and chewy, and it tastes a hundred times better than the dish of Baiyun Temple.

Qingwen chewed beautifully, thinking about which dish is better for the next test.

She left a few pieces for the nannies in the yard, and filled the remaining dried tofu in crock pots, and wanted to take them to the garden for the sisters to taste.

After going down the mountain, she went to Li Wan’s Daoxiang Village first.
