Chapter 47: Day 47 of Transfiguration as Jia Mu
Chapter 47 The 47th day of being reborn as Jia Mu (Catching Bugs)
Xiren has always been a little disciplined. Not to mention that she usually manages Baoyu to study, but unfortunately Baoyu's temper is there, and she can only use herself as a threat, and can only manage him for a period of time.
It was during this period that Baoyu seemed to have changed his temper, which made her happy for a while.
Unexpectedly, after just a few days, he became a little unruly.
Just when she was unhappy, Baochai came to find Baoyu. The two chatted for a few words, and Xiren sighed, "Where is Baoyu. Young master, day and night, always quarreling with the girls, and there is no sense of propriety. The serious classics, history, and collections are left."
Baochai used to be just a face-saving favor to these maids in Baoyu's room, but now she turned her head and looked at them a few more times.
That night, Xiren started to quarrel with Baoyu, and responded to two or three out of ten sentences, and she was still sarcastic.
In the past, Baoyu would have apologized long ago. Xiren was always a little special to him. But during this period of time, he was running back and forth, and he was really exhausted, so he lost some patience.
He thought that he didn't know where he had offended her. Now she was angry. If he went forward again, she might be even angrier. It would be better to wait until she calmed down... Just thinking about this, he fell asleep.
Xiren didn't wait for a long time to respond. When she turned her head, she was immediately angry. She went to the outer room with her clothes.
The next day, Baoyu thought of what Daiyu said, Mingyan was smart and clever, but she lacked some thoughts, which was also because of her young age. Now after Lin Zhong's teaching, she is suitable for running errands for him in the future.
He thought of looking for Jia Lian and letting Mingyan go back and forth in the restaurant first, first to practice, and secondly, the restaurant is where the news is concentrated.
So, he hurriedly washed and went out without paying any attention to Xiren, which made Xiren embarrassed and at a loss.
Qingwen sneered, and seeing Musk Moon coming forward to comfort her, she couldn't help but say, "You really deserved it. You can control the master. One moment you want to leave, and the next moment you are in a bad mood. It seems that this young lady has acted like a real young lady."
Xiren just didn't say anything, but Musk Moon said, "Sister Xiren is also for Baoyu's good, and wants to persuade her."
"Humph, whether it is true or not, only she knows it in her heart." Qingwen took Baoyu's sachet and went out.
But Baoyu went to find Jia Lian, but Jia Lian hadn't woken up yet. Only Sister Feng called him, "Brother Bao, why are you here so early? I happen to be going to the old ancestor. You must go with me."
Baoyu thought that he was anxious, so he nodded and agreed.
When the two arrived, Shi Xiangyun had already arrived and was talking to the old lady.
Shi Xiangyun came to say goodbye. The old lady didn't understand Shi Xiangyun very well. The "Red Mansion" she exchanged only had some scenes of Shi Xiangyun, such as: Drunken Sleeping on Peony, but it didn't say how Shi Xiangyun stayed after she said goodbye.
The old lady could only ask for help from netizens.
"Let me think about it. It seems that Baochai's birthday is coming. Jia Mu asked her to wait until Baochai's birthday. "
"Hey, if I remember correctly, Baochai is fifteen years old. She is a virgin." "
Yes, Baochai's birthday, the saying of a golden and jade marriage in the original book is more and more intense. However, I don't know if it's because the anchor interrupted, but there has been no news until now. " "
By the way, there is also Shi Xiangyun, who is so careless, saying that Lingguan looks like Lin Daiyu, which makes me angry. "
...
It turned out that at this section, the old lady nodded and didn't plan to keep Shi Xiangyun. After all, she was partial.
But she was not prepared for Wang Xifeng to say this. When she heard what Shi Xiangyun said, she smiled and said, "Why are you in a hurry to leave? Your sister Bao's birthday is coming soon. Why don't you stay and go back after her birthday?"
The old lady:...
Baoyu was surprised, "Is sister Bao's birthday coming soon?" He turned to the old lady, "Grandma, why don't we use the 'best in the world' dishes that day, just to build up the reputation of the restaurant. If other nobles come in the future, it will also be a business."
Before the old lady said anything, Wang Xifeng was surprised. She knew Baoyu well, and she didn't expect to hear such vulgar words from Baoyu.
"I didn't expect that Brother Bao was also interested in this matter"
"I went out with Brother Lian these days, Sister Feng didn't know" Baoyu sat down next to Shi Xiangyun.
Wang Xifeng said, "My elder sister has been ill these days, I have been fasting and chanting Buddhist scriptures, how can I take care of her." She looked at Baoyu again, "It's rare, but you don't need to care about those things, just play by yourself, and let your elder brother do anything."
As if thinking that Baoyu was just curious, Baoyu smiled and asked the old lady, "How do you want to celebrate Sister Bao's birthday?"
The old lady was angry that she only remembered to ask now. She said lightly, "What the girls did in the past, we will do the same now."
"It's just that Baochai is fifteen and has come of age, the old ancestor should celebrate it in a big way." Wang Xifeng was a little hesitant, not because she deliberately sang a different tune, but because the empress in the palace seemed to be particularly fond of Baochai and had specially given her something not long ago.
The old lady looked at her, and Wang Xifeng said, "Miss Bao is a guest, and her family can't bother us. We can only take the initiative."
The old lady thought about it and said, "Then you decide."
Wang Xifeng got the order, and had breakfast with Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun at the old lady's place before leaving.
Shi Xiangyun went back to play with her sisters, and Baoyu went to find Jia Lian to arrange Mingyan's affairs.
On Baochai's birthday, the sisters came to congratulate Baochai early.
Lin Daiyu also came with Yinglian, which was a surprise.
Yinglian finally decided to stay in Beijing. First, although her mother survived the fifty whips at that time, Feng's body was broken over the years. She survived that breath and took medicine and soup intermittently; second, there were Jia Mansion and Lin Mansion in Beijing to take care of her, which was much better than the old house that was burned down.
Now, Yinglian and Feng rented a room in a small alley and worked in Lin Daiyu's shop.
She wore a bun and only worked on the second floor. She wore a veil when she went in and out. Lin Youcai had scolded the shopkeepers, so there was no gossip.
On that day, Lin Daiyu gave Xue Baochai a birthday gift, which was a rare medicinal jade and a gold-inlaid agate hairpin. The latter was not rare for the millionaire Xue family; the former was rare, made by refining medicine, like fairy ganoderma.
Even Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, looked at Lin Daiyu a few more times, and there seemed to be a flash of regret in Mrs. Wang's eyes.
Because Jia Lian and Baoyu wanted to test the waters for the restaurant, the birthday banquet was sent from "Tianxia Yipin".
That night, there was indeed a small opera troupe.
But this time, the old lady followed the netizens' suggestion and did not invite the young actress and the clown to come down to reward.
But perhaps fate has inertia. The actors came down from the stage and greeted everyone. Wang Xifeng saw Lingguan and said, "This girl looks like Lin Daiyu." Xiangyun exclaimed, "This girl looks a lot like Lin Daiyu."
Immediately, the whole hall fell silent. "
Damn, I really don't know whether to say that Shi Xiangyun is careless or brainless." "
Neither of them, this kind of person is stupid." "
That's too much. She probably doesn't mean it."
"What is the meaning of 'speaking without thinking'? There is a section in the Dream of the Red Chamber where Baoyu is sleeping and Baochai is sitting beside him doing needlework with a fly swatter beside her. Daiyu waved to Shi Xiangyun to tease her, but Shi Xiangyun pulled Daiyu away. If you say she really didn't mean it, why is she so considerate at this time?
It's just that she is on Baochai's side. ' 'That's right, she is indeed on Baochai's side and thinks Baochai is perfect. '
'Anyway, I have never liked the "innocent" character setting, and "speaking without thinking". Such a person, she will stab you with a sentence, and then say "speaking frankly", which is simply disgusting. ' '
Her final ending is also quite pitiful. Everyone has their own personality. '
'Shi Xiangyun had a good hand but was ruined by herself, okay? '
'Shi Xiangyun didn't have a good hand. The Shi family was in financial difficulty. She was born in the Shi family and had to do needlework by herself. She was not rich at all. If it were someone else, they would have been biased in temperament a long time ago. Only Shi Xiangyun was carefree. '
Yes, Shi Xiangyun is still very talented. When writing about white begonia, "Autumn clouds bring out snow from nowhere", this autumn is the season of white begonia; and the word "bring out" is vivid and personified; "where is the snow" is both the white of white begonia and a symbol; without naming it, the image of white begonia is vividly portrayed on paper. '
It's as if Lin Daiyu has no talent. '
Even though her good cards were ruined, her uncle and aunt did not really treat her harshly, and the person she was matched with was not bad. It's already very good for an orphan girl to be like this, but she insisted on crying and feeling wronged. '
And she is the only one who can feel wronged, why doesn't she think about what it means to compare a lady from a rich family to an actor? Daiyu is a person with sensitive self-esteem...'
The old lady rubbed her eyebrows and glanced at Zijuan, who had followed Daiyu since she left the Jia Mansion.
Zijuan was just breathing heavily, and was stared at by the ancestor. For a moment, she didn't react to the ancestor's meaning.
Seeing that the old ancestor frequently looked at Daiyu, who was frowning and slightly angry, she suddenly came back to her senses, stood in front of Daiyu, and frowned, "Miss Shi, you are also from a noble family, is this how you are brought up?"
The crowd of onlookers were startled when they heard a maid speak, and then they were angry. Especially Shi Xiangyun, who was angry and furious. But everyone suddenly heard Zijuan say, "Although the Lin Mansion is small, it is not comparable to a troupe."
Immediately, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, Lin Daiyu is not just a relative, she also has the now favored Lin Ruhai behind her.
Especially since the Beijing inspection, Lin Ruhai's entry into the cabinet is a foregone conclusion. Seeing that he is another new noble, even aristocratic family like them has to show respect.
What's more, several families are in-laws.
For a while, the atmosphere was awkward, and Wang Xifeng was the first to come out to smooth things over. "It's my fault," she patted her lips lightly, "It's all because of my words, I should be punished with a glass of wine."
As she said, she drank it all in one gulp.
Baochai also hurriedly said, "It's all because of my poor choice of music. I'll punish myself with a glass of wine." She drank the wine and said, "It's such a good time, why don't we go and watch the lanterns."
So, with laughter and joking, the scene became harmonious again.
Only Shi Xiangyun's face turned red.
Just at this time, the eunuchs in the palace brought riddles, and soon everyone moved into the inner hall.
