Perhaps fearing that he would feel uncomfortable after eating too much wine, Aunt Xue personally served the sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup and let Baoyu drink two bowls. Then, she watched him eat half a bowl of Bijing porridge before giving up. p>
After the meal, Aunt Xue ordered someone to pour tea again. Daiyu remembered that her sister said not to drink tea immediately after the meal, so she didn't drink it.
Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, drank two glasses of hangover under the persuasion of Aunt Xue and Baochai.
Although I just said that I would let him stay, it was just a polite word. Xue Pan had something to do and he would not come back today. How could a room full of female relatives let him stay? They were just trying to coax him to play.
Baoyu was still thinking about the maids in his house, so naturally he would not stay. After Aunt Xue and Baochai persuaded him, he drank the tea.
A few people sat and talked for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Daiyu got up and prepared to say goodbye: "It's getting late, and it's time for me to go back. If I don't go back, my sister will come to find me. I won't go here today."
If you stay any longer, Auntie and Sister Bao will go and play with me if they are free."
Aunt Xue and Baochai heard this and hurriedly stood up to persuade him to stay. After the three of them exchanged greetings, the mother and daughter personally sent him to the door.
When they arrived at the door, they saw that there was already a sedan waiting there. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the people sent by Jiusi to pick up Daiyu. When they saw them coming out, everyone bowed and saluted to say hello.
"I've met Mrs. Xue and Miss Bao. I'll pay my respects to you two."
Aunt Xue saw her and hurriedly asked people to get up: "No need to be so polite, just get up!"
Wuyue walked forward with a smile, nodded to her, and then told the three of them the reason for their visit: "When the eldest girl saw someone going back to get a cloak or something, she knew that you were in a hurry, because you were afraid that you would catch the cold because of the thin clothes you wore.
, so he asked his slaves to carry the sedan, so that it could provide more protection from the wind and snow."
As he spoke, he did not forget to put a furry cloak on Daiyu, wrapping her tightly.
Seeing this, Aunt Xue said with a smile: "I just said that Lin Yatou is obsessed with Daiyu. Look, she doesn't feel at ease when she goes out to play. It shows how much she cares about Daiyu."
Baochai also smiled and echoed: "Yes, Sister Lin's love for Daiyu is really unmatched by anyone. I want to snatch this sister away after seeing it."
Daiyu was so happy when she heard what the two said. She smiled and exchanged greetings with the two before being carried into the sedan by Wuyue.
Afraid of misunderstanding, Wu Wu put her in the sedan and explained with a smile: "When the slave came, her shoes were a little wet from the snow on the ground, and her feet were very cold from the cold. The girl can't bear the cold, so it's better not to do it."
Just touch the snow."
After saying that, he nodded to the Xue family and his daughter, gave a signal, and had someone carry the sedan back.
When everyone heard this, besides marveling at the other party's strength and carefulness, they didn't know what to say.
Although Jia Baoyu sobered up in the room, he heard clearly what happened outside the room.
Recalling how everyone ignored Daiyu when she lived with him in Bishaqi, and comparing it with Sister Lin's concern for Daiyu today, he was a little bit speechless.
In the past, if they went somewhere to play, not to mention someone preparing things for Daiyu, even if she ordered those people to do things, not many would be willing to listen.
But today they only stayed here for half a day, and Sister Lin just asked someone to bring something to them.
First there was a hand stove, then there were food, milk tea and things to play with, and then someone sent some fruit wine for the woman to drink. In order not to make her aunt feel uncomfortable, she even said it was for her inconvenience, so she gave Baochai something to apologize for. This was very thoughtful.
To the extreme.
There was also Daiyu's unfriendly attitude toward him today. It wasn't that he didn't feel it, but he just didn't want to admit it.
He didn't understand why they suddenly became so alienated. Is it just because Sister Lin came?
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became, and he didn't want to lie here sober up anymore, so he got up and got off the kang, asked the little girl to serve him, got dressed, and went out.
Aunt Xue and her daughter came in and bumped into him. Seeing that he was about to leave, she said, "Your mother and I haven't come yet. It's not too late to wait a moment."
Baochai also advised: "The snow outside is slippery and you just drank, so you might as well rest here for a while before going back.
If you rush back now, what will happen if you accidentally fall?"
Baoyu was upset and didn't want to stay in the room anymore, so he said a little irritably: "What am I waiting for her to do? It's enough for the girls to follow me. When she comes, my aunt will order someone to tell her."
”
Then he said to Baochai: "I just had a few glasses of wine, so I'm not so drunk. If Sister Baochai is really afraid that I'll fall, then I'll just be more careful. It'll be okay."
When the mother and daughter saw that he was determined to leave, they could not stop him and could not say more, so they had no choice but to send him out.
When they arrived outside, the little girl quickly brought a bamboo hat, and Baoyu lowered her head slightly and ordered her to put it on herself.
The girl shook her gorilla felt bamboo hat and was about to close 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 gentler, don't you see?"
No one else can wear it
Give me the bamboo hat and let me wear it myself."
When Aunt Xue saw it, she smiled and stretched out her hand to take the bamboo hat over: "My son, the little girl doesn't know what's going on, so why be angry? Auntie is here to wear it for you."
When Baoyu saw that her aunt had spoken, she didn't want to make any more trouble, so she had to lower her head and move closer.
Aunt Xue arranged it with her hands, gently wrapped the hair crown, tucked the edge of the hair hat over her forehead, lifted up the walnut-sized crimson hairpin, and exposed it tremblingly outside the hat.
After finishing it, he looked at it carefully and then smiled and said: "Well, my son is really handsome and extraordinary. Okay, let's go 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 before bidding farewell to her.
Aunt Xue was afraid that he would not wake up from the wine he drank, and she was worried about him going back alone, so she ordered her two daughters-in-law to go back with him and come back when he arrived.
The two followed the order and escorted the person all the way back to Rongqing Hall. They met Jia Mu and returned the message before returning to Lixiangyuan to inform Aunt Xue.
After hearing this, Aunt Xue said "I understand" and then went back to the house to rest.
When Baoyu returned to Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu had not yet had dinner. Knowing that he was coming from Aunt Xue's place and having had wine, she ordered him to go back to his room to rest and not come out again. She also ordered the servants who followed him
Have a good time serving him.
Suddenly he remembered that the nurse who was following Baoyu was not there, so he asked everyone: "Isn't Aunt Li following Baoyu? Why can't I see her?"
No one dared to say that she had gone home. They only said: "She just came in. I didn't know it. I thought she went there because of something."
When Baoyu heard this, he staggered back and shouted: "She is more useful than the old lady. I asked him what to do. Without her, I'm afraid I can live for two more days." After that, he was helped back.
Bisha cabinet.
When he returned to the bedroom, he saw the pen and ink on the case. Qingwen came out to pick him up first, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I have to grind some ink. I was happy to get up early and only wrote three words, then dropped the pen and left.
We have been waiting for this day, come and finish writing these inks with me, or I won’t help you grind the ink next time.”
