Everyone listened and responded one after another.
Several people walked forward while talking, and when he passed by, they all dispersed.
When Baoyu came to Lixiangyuan, he first went to Aunt Xue's room. When he entered the house, he saw Aunt Xue doing acupuncture and the maids.
Baoyu hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "How are you doing, aunt?"
When Aunt Xue saw that he was coming, she waved him away, took him and held him in her arms, and asked: "It's such a cold weather, my son, why do you want to come and see Auntie? Come up quickly."
Come sit on the kang."
Baoyu was hugged by Aunt Xue and sat down on the kang.
Then, the maid came over with boiling hot tea, placed it on the low table, told the two masters to be careful not to burn it, and then withdrew.
Baoyu sat on the kang to warm up, and then asked her aunt with a smile: "Why don't you see Brother Xue at home, but what are you busy with?"
Xue Pan got up early this morning and went to find someone to discuss Baochai's entry into the palace. However, he did not dare to let Mrs. Wang know about it. He was afraid that she would ruin their good deeds, so he did not tell Baoyu.
She pretended to be helpless and sighed: "You don't know what your brother is like. He is just a horse without a bridle. He has to go out for a walk every day. How can he stay at home all day?
Ah."
Baoyu didn't notice that her aunt was acting, so she quickly comforted her and said, "Don't worry, aunt. My brother is looking for something to do. It's better for him to go out and run every day than to stay at home every day like me."
When Aunt Xue saw this, she took the opportunity to put away the sad look on her face, smiled and started chatting with her.
After chatting for a while, Baoyu asked Baochai: "I heard that my sister was ill a few days ago. I wonder if she is fine now?"
Aunt Xue heard that he was here to see Baochai. She winked at the maid and asked her to give Baochai a heads up. She said to Baoyu, "I'm much better now. I'm just taking a break here. You go."
Look at her, it’s warmer in the inner room than here. You go in first and sit down to warm yourself up. I’ll clean up and then go in and talk to you.”
When Baoyu heard what she said, she hurriedly responded, got up and got off the kang and went inside.
Aunt Xue looked at his back, and the smile on her face slowly faded. Since she decided to enter the palace to gain wealth, Baochai had to avoid him a little, so as not to tarnish her reputation and make it difficult for her to act.
Baoyu opened the half-old red silk curtain and went in. He saw Baochai sitting on the kang doing needlework, with a dark and shiny hair on her head. She was wearing a honey-colored cotton jacket and a rose, purple and gold silver rat-shoulder jacket.
, green and yellow silk cotton skirt, the color is new but not old, it doesn’t look luxurious.
His lips are red without any spots, his eyebrows are green without paint, his face is like a silver basin, and his eyes are like apricots. Just looking at him makes you crazy.
However, he quickly reacted and asked with a smile: "I heard that my sister was sick, so I thought I would come and take a look. I wonder if my sister has recovered?"
Baochai had just heard what the maid told him about his arrival, so she was not surprised when he saw him coming. She smiled and replied: "I'm fine now. Thank you for remembering me. It's cold outside. Please hurry up and sit on the kang."
." After saying that, he stepped aside and ordered Ying'er to pour some tea.
Then, while asking the old lady if his aunt was well, he looked at him carefully. He was wearing a silk-embedded purple gold crown on his head, two dragons grabbing gold beads to wipe his forehead, and he was wearing autumn fragrance.
The arrow sleeves of the armpits of the standing python and white fox are tied with five-color butterfly and luan ribbons. On the neck are the longevity locks, name talismans, and the piece of jade that was picked up when the grass fell.
When Baochai saw the jade, he smiled and said, "I've been talking about this piece of jade of yours, but I've never appreciated it in detail. Today you brought it. Why don't you take it off and let me have a look?"
When Baoyu heard that she wanted to see the jade, he smiled and agreed. He took it off his neck and handed it to Baochai for her to see.
Baochai held the jade in his palm, and saw that it was as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright cloud, as smooth as a crisp, and wrapped in five-color patterns.
After looking at this side, she turned it over again to take a closer look. When she saw the words on it, she read out: "Don't lose, don't forget, and your immortal life will be prosperous."
After reading it twice, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't remember it, so I handed the jade hand back to Baoyu.
Turning around, he saw Ying'er still standing there and asked, "Why are you just sitting here in a daze if you don't go pour the tea?"
After hearing this, Ying'er giggled and said: "I heard these two sentences, they are like the two sentences on the girl's collar, they seem to come from the same place."
After hearing this, Baochai realized why she felt something was wrong just now, but she didn't want others to say anything, so she scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? You only know a few words. How can you know anything? Go quickly."
Pour some tea."
Ying'er saw that the girl had a wrong look on her face and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she responded and hurriedly went out to pour tea.
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "It turns out there are eight characters on my sister's necklace. Why don't you let me appreciate it too? You can't let me see yours when you look at mine!"
After hearing this, Baochai said, "Don't listen to her. There are no words on my collar, it's just what she said."
Jia Baoyu was not someone to be easily dismissed. Seeing that she did not agree, he started to pester her: "My good sister, you are already looking at me, but you are not willing to let me look at yours. How can there be such a reason? Come on!"
Just take some out and let me have a look."
Baochai was so entangled by him and saw that he wanted to pull her up directly, she had no choice but to agree to show him the collar.
However, in order to prevent him from misunderstanding, I still explained a few words: "This is different from yours. I didn't bring it with me, but someone gave me a few auspicious words, so I chiseled it and told me to bring it with me every day."
Just hope for a good fortune, otherwise there’s no fun in carrying it around.”
As he spoke, he unbuttoned his breasts, took out the glittering and golden necklace from the big red coat, took it off and gave it to him.
Jia Baoyu took the collar and hurriedly picked up the lock and looked at it. Sure enough, there were four seal characters on one side and eight characters on the two sides, forming two auspicious sentences: "Never leave, never give up, and you will be young forever."
Jia Baoyu read it twice, then read her own twice, then said with a smile: "Sister, these eight words are exactly what Ying'er said, and they match mine."
After hearing this, Xue Baochai hurriedly took the collar back: "Don't worry, there is no mismatch, it's just a coincidence.
If it hadn't been for the leprosy-headed monk who gave me the medicine and said it had to be chiselled on gold, I wouldn't have worn it."
In order to divert his attention, she asked him about the origin of his precious jade: "I see you carrying that treasure every day, and everyone treasures it, but I wonder if there is any origin?"
When Baochai took the collar, he couldn't help but get closer to Jia Baoyu, and he smelled the cool and sweet fragrance.
She didn't hear Baochai's question and didn't say anything. Instead, she curiously asked what the fragrance was: "What kind of fragrance is my sister smelling? I have never smelled anything like this."
Seeing him like this, Baochai was a little annoyed at his rudeness, but after all, they were relatives, so it was hard to really do anything to him, so he said: "You man, I asked you the origin of your precious jade, and you didn't tell me the answer."
I even asked about the fragrance on my body.
But I don’t have any incense on my body, and I’m most afraid of incense. I’m not like you. Good clothes don’t smell like smoke.”
