By Jia Xiuzhen

Because Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were in a hurry, Baoyu spent the past few days painting with Baochai in Hengwu Garden except when he had to go out.Xiangyun taught Xiangling how to compose poems, and occasionally came to point fingers twice, always causing Baoyu to yell at her to throw her out.

Today I am inserting characters into it.Baoyu saw Daiyu pointed by Baochai, either with his back to the viewer, or a blurred silhouette in the forest reflected on the window, and said: "Sister Bao, why don't you have a sister Lin with clear eyebrows?!"

Baochai laughed and said, "Can you draw it? I can't. When Sister Lin wants to sketch in detail, she can't get the rhyme. I tried several times on the preliminary draft over there, but it didn't work. It has to be like this. If you can When, only you will come."

Looking at Baoyu's preliminary draft, there are indeed seven or eight Daiyu, but it is also strange.When drawing other people, there are some whose eyebrows and eyes are not drawn correctly, or some whose faces are different, so they don't look like them.Looking at Daiyu painted by Baochai again, the eyebrows, eyes and facial features are obviously correct, but just looking at it doesn't look like Daiyu.

Baoyu didn't believe it, so he dipped his pen and wanted to draw. He picked up the pen and stood there for a while, but the ink dripped down, but he couldn't write, so he threw it aside and said, "Sister Lin's attitudes are really hard to describe. I actually blamed my sister. Now." Then he looked at the shadows that Baochai had spotted, nodded, and said, "It's these two. Although they don't see each other, they are Sister Lin when they see them, and they will never admit their mistakes." He sighed again, "Sure enough, I am such a common man. You can’t draw fairy poses.”

Xiangyun was talking to Xiangling about Wei Suzhou's two sentences, "after the floating clouds, the water will flow for ten years", but when Baoyu sighed there, he came over and tapped him with his finger, saying, "good you common man, how did you draw me yesterday?" ?!"

Baoyu was at a loss for words for a while, how could Xiangyun let him go lightly? One of them questioned, the other prevaricated, the other wanted to settle the matter, and the other hurriedly hid.Going around Baochai, Baochai laughed and persuaded, but Baoyu paid hundreds of dollars in compensation, so Xiangyun let her go.But he still wanted to say: "We know that in the eyes of the second brother, no one can compare to your sister Lin!" Baoyu could only apologize, but dared not say a word.

Xiangling is also surprised to see that she has been taken into the room by Xue Pan, and she has seen men who are fierce and domineering. In the past few days, I have seen Baoyu here every day among several sisters. "It turns out that people in the world are so different. I usually only hear people say how Baoyu is so dull and doesn't make progress. It turns out that there are different kinds of people who don't make progress." But the dumb girl thought about it.

Because Mrs. Wang asked about this painting the day before yesterday, Er Bao stopped writing, and went to Mrs. Wang to discuss the matter in detail.Mrs. Wang stayed two people to eat together, but when Baoyu heard that Daiyu had returned from home, she swallowed it in a hurry and went to Jiamu.Mrs. Wang wanted to say a few words to him, but Baochai stopped her.

After removing the meal and making tea, the mother and daughter sat and talked.Baochai Fang said: "I have something to tell my aunt. It's inconvenient for Brother Bao to be here."

Mrs. Wang only thought it was strange that Baoyu had done something inside, and hurriedly asked what was the matter.Baochai smiled and said: "It's not really important. It's just that I saw a new gadget from Sister Lin a few days ago. I just came up with an idea and told my aunt. I don't know if it's feasible or not."

It turned out that that day when Baochai saw the dusty market that Guiliu and the others made, she remembered the small tables and chairs made of clay outside, and saw that Yuanchun loved the garden at home very much. , but you are not allowed to visit at any time.So I thought it would be better to follow the appearance of the whole garden, and take some small wood and bamboo to shape the garden as it was.He also followed Brin to order flowers and pile up mountains to divert water, just like the fairy mountain bonsai on the market.Wouldn't it be more interesting than the mediocre picture now?

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang nodded her head again and again after hearing this idea, and only asked Baochai to pull Baoyu to do it quickly.He also said that Sister Feng can only arrange for everything that needs to be done.As he said that he wanted someone to call Baoyu again, Baochai stopped him and said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't know Brother Bao's temperament, he is the most troublesome. I have made two paintings recently. Although he didn't say anything, he was far away I'm not as excited as I was back then. It's only because my mother likes it that I can bear my temper and draw until now.

If you talk about this matter with him at this moment, he will inevitably feel resentment of "one thing is not finished, another thing will be added", although he refuses to say it, he will lose interest in his heart.In the future, we will only push three obstacles and four obstacles, and it will be difficult for us to do anything to him.It's not that I can't do it alone, it's just that when the time comes to present it to the empress, the empress is afraid that Brother Aibao's sincerity is more than that of the garden thing!But he still needs to work hard.

I thought, according to Brother Bao's temper.We took care of ourselves here and didn't ask him for help.This matter is a new thing, and how to manipulate various things inside is a delicate and interesting job.We just left him alone. If he saw it, he wanted to help if he couldn't keep it.We still think that he is too rough to use, so we allow him to join after doing this a few times, and that's it!When he asks in this way, he will not rest his mind casually. Even when we are tired and want to slack off later, we can remind him of what he asked for that day.Aunt said, can my idea work? "

Mrs. Wang couldn't help nodding when she heard this, and now she held Baochai's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "My magic star, only you have the ability and method to bring him down! Don't say anything else, just say this." Back to two paintings. If there is no one of you in it, depending on him, I don’t know if I can get one in the next year! Your idea is the most correct, yes, he is the one who is "not going away, but going backwards" He is a stubborn donkey. He has to make up his own mind and come together to make it happen!

As for reading, when your elder sister taught him when he was young, he had to cite a few conditions, and only when he fulfilled them did he kindly teach him a few words.In this way, he is excited every day!In three or two years, I have taught thousands of words in my stomach.Later, when it was time to go to school, how many teachers were invited, as long as he could listen, why not teach him?But I don’t like to learn anymore, sometimes I think this is not clear, and sometimes I say that the proof is too convoluted... You see, it’s better to beg and beg to teach him a few sentences when I was a child. "

But Baochai hadn't heard about it, and now she nodded with a smile and said: "It turns out that the empress knows Brother Bao's temperament very well, and she had a way to attract him early in the morning."

As she was still busy with the painting, Baochai took advantage of the time to list the things she might need one after another. Now that Xue Pan is not at home, it is not so convenient to go out to ask for things.Fortunately, with Mrs. Wang's words first, Mrs. Wang handed it over to Sister Feng to buy it slowly.

Baoyu rushed to Jiamu's place, but said that Daiyu had gone into the garden.It's not at Mrs. Wang's place, and I don't need to accompany you any more. I tell Jia Mu and rush back to the garden.

After finally arriving at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but not seeing Daiyu, Zijuan laughed and said, "Second Lord came to us instead, maybe our girl is in the Yihong Courtyard. I just came back and said I want to look around. "

After Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard, she heard Sheyue say, "Miss Lin just sent someone to bring some dim sum from the south. Second master, let's have a look." Baoyu was very depressed.It's just that Xiren's mother is seriously ill at first, and she said that she has been in bed two days after she went back, so it is difficult to come back for a while.The backbone of the house was lost.Only musk moon was originally drawn by Xiren, and his words and deeds are somewhat similar, but now he is half of the family.Hearing what she said, Baoyu was very tired from walking several times, so he simply sat down and rested.

Bihen came in and smiled and said, "Come here quickly, there is something interesting for you to see." Baoyu hurried up regardless of being tired after hearing this.But it turned out that someone sent a pair of canary sparrows, but the size of a child's fist, the whole body is delicate and yellow, and the voice is melodious.The party teased, and then asked: "Where did you get it?"

Bihen smiled and said: "I spent a lot of effort to get someone to get it. Didn't you say you saw a couple at someone's house last time? Now we have it too."

Baoyu couldn't help laughing: "I said that there is a pair of golden ink eyebrows in the Beijing Palace, how can it be Tuanqueer!"

Bihen pouted: "Don't forget it!" She said she was about to take it away, but Baoyu hurriedly stopped her: "No matter how good Mo Meier is, she belongs to the palace, and we can't miss it. Sister Bihen found it for me. Yes, can you compare yourself with others casually? Of course it's the best!"

Bihen covered her mouth and smiled: "I know you're coaxing me!"

The two talked and laughed, and Baoyu asked casually, "I can't live at home these few days, but has anyone been here?"

Bihen remembered something, and said seriously: "I'm about to talk to the second master! It's amazing, there are thieves in our yard!"

Baoyu hurriedly asked what was the matter, but she had no time to answer. She Yue heard it and said, "I said it! When Ri Ping'er asked me to talk about it that day, there seemed to be some movement behind him. I just thought it was where it came from." Wild cat and wild bird, but it turned out to be you!"

Bihen hid behind Baoyu, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Who told you to say something and wink for a long time, and don't be careful, so what if people listen to it!"

Sheyue didn't argue with her either, so she told all the things that Ri Ping'er asked her to say that day, and said, "I didn't expect this little hoof to do such a shameless thing!"

Baoyu, on the other hand, listened to Ping'er's words of thinking for him, so he didn't feel a little bit in his heart, and didn't care about the thief for a while.But Bihen said: "Since you know it, if I don't tell you, you won't tell the second master. I don't see you disposing of that hoof. Could it be that you still want to hide it?"

Musk Moon actually wanted to wait for Xiren to come back, and the two discussed it before making plans.Now when Bihen said this, he retorted: "What day did I hide, and what sea did I have to cross?! Another one, how did you know that I didn't tell you? Well, you knew it too. Why don't you just tell me about it? I'll leave it to you, let's see how you can deal with it neatly!"

Bihen smiled and said: "Ah, I'm so clumsy, I usually can't even reach out to serve the second master, but now I have to entrust such an important matter to me! You are also a person who doesn't know people."

Musk Moon was still waiting to speak, when Bihen rushed to Baoyu and said, "My mother hasn't been feeling well these two days. I'll go home later. I'll come back before she locks her."

Baoyu naturally did not disagree, and asked her to pick up some snacks and take them home.Sheyue looked there and secretly felt lucky, but Bihen was born in a family of several generations, even if she couldn't understand her frivolity, she couldn't help it for a while.

When Biyue arrived at home, her mother had been very cold for the past two days, so she caught some chills, drank the medicine, and felt much more relaxed when she sweated.Seeing Biyue rushing back, she said, "I'm going to die somewhere, and I'm still running home!"

Bihen poured a bowl of warm water for her mother to drink, and said with a smile: "Xi Ren is not here now, that Xi Ren's second master really wants to act like the deputy second master. It's an eyesore to me, why don't you look at it twice when you come back?" Eyes."

Her mother complained to her: "There are a dozen or so big girls in a room, how can there be no trouble? I have told you so many times, but you just don't listen. I have been in peace for two years, and then I will give up my old face and beg." I beg the old lady to go, make a more serious family, live a stable life, how good?! Look at Zixiao, why don’t you see her fighting with each other all day long?"

Bihen put down the tea bowl and hummed: "That's just a piece of wood, how can it be compared? You old man doesn't know what happened today!" Then he told about Zhui'er stealing the bracelet.

When her mother heard this, she hurriedly said: "Hey! Don't stand out! This kind of thing, if you can get involved as little as possible."

Bihen smiled and said: "Of course! I'm not stupid! That hoof still wants to provoke me today, heck, I don't care what I do. I don't care about it! Anyway, the man in charge of the yard, After shifts, no matter how much you order, you can't get me. When such a scandal happens, people who are not in charge will naturally ask, what has it to do with me! Besides, it is not easy for a little girl to get here. Why would I bother to offend people! Besides, whoever turns around with whom can’t even talk about a relative? Such a thing... It’s the ones who come from outside that should be the ones to attack!” After finishing speaking, she giggled happily.

Her mother coughed twice, and sighed: "I don't understand it? Why do you mess up on weekdays? Tell you to stay away from that phoenix baby! You just don't listen. When the crime falls into the hands of the wife, you will know." That's amazing. Look at Jin Chuan'er, don't you understand? No matter what the second master Bao did, he can't be regarded as wrong. One day, he will be bad again, and he won't be able to make progress. He will have to find someone to punish him. You didn't listen to the opera Is it sung in? Anyone who is not good at being an emperor is either a bad eunuch or a concubine in the harem. If this Second Master Bao is not good, he will either be a servant, or use you close people as rafts!"

Bihen hugged her mother's arm and twisted: "Ah, mother, I've said it all. When the time comes, you can marry whoever you want, and I will listen to you. Now... mother, tell me, Although it is natural to find an honest person to marry and live a lifetime in the future, it’s just that I missed someone like Bao Erye... I will regret it when I grow old! Mom...you were not the same when you were young!..."

Her mother laughed and coughed, and scolded: "I shouldn't have told you those things! Well, well, I can't control you, why don't you go back soon?! It should be locked later."

Then with a smile, Bihen took out all the food that Baoyu asked her to bring back, and whispered a few words, which made her mother laugh and scold, then took the empty basket and went away like a gust of wind.
