It is a bit abrupt to write about Baoyu's sudden visit to Baochai, so this time he wrote a minor story, which led Baoyu to visit Baochai. Perhaps even people who have read A Dream of Red Mansions several times will not be deeply impressed by this passage, because it is nothing more than writing a paragraph connecting Wang Xifeng and Baoyu to visit Jia after returning from Ningfu, mentioning that Qin Zhong wants to do something for Baoyu's class, then going through the motions, writing about Ningfu, and then inviting Jia, Mrs. Wang, Daiyu and Baoyu to Ningfu to watch the play.
I invited Wang Xifeng to be my guest last time. After all, Jia Mu, the chairman of Fu Rong, is still here, and You Shi of Ningfu knows some rules. This time, I wrote a few words about inviting Jia Mu and others, and I took Baoyu and Jia Mu back to Fu Rong on the way. I met several Jia disciples with their own homophonic names: Zhan Guang (good at polishing), Shan Riren (good at cheating), Wu, the head of the silver warehouse, and Dai Liang, the owner of the warehouse. Their appearance only reflects their ugly face of buttering up to the powerful. When they saw Baoyu, they all laughed and caught up with him. "。 One put his arm around his waist, the other held hands and said, "My Bodhisattva, I said I had a good dream, and I finally met you. "Say hello and say hello, and it took a long time before I left." Disciples were so flattering. Jia's servants Wu and Dai Liang praised Baoyu's Spring Festival couplets and asked Baoyu to draw more for them. What do they know? They just flatter Baoyu. After all, Baoyu is Jia Zheng's only son, Jia Zheng is Hong Miao's son, Jia Fu's favorite grandson, regardless of Fu Rong's affairs.
Baochai was ill for several days. Last time Baoyu asked Xue Qian to meet Baochai for him and Lin Daiyu. After all, he didn't go by himself, so he went to see Baochai's sister by himself this time.
I always feel that Aunt Xue's attitude towards Baoyu from the beginning seems to be aimed at her son-in-law, not at her nephew. She is so kind, "hold him in her arms", afraid that he will catch cold, let him get on the kang quickly, order someone to pour tea and "roll tea". It also created a chance for him and Baochai to be alone. "He is not in the back room. Go and see him. The room in the back is warmer than here. Sit there. I'll pack up and go in and talk to you. " Through Baoyu's eyes, we can see Baochai in her daily state: "She looks very luxurious wearing a shiny black hair pin, a honey-colored cotton-padded jacket, a rose-purple-gold-silver-mouse shoulder gown and an onion-yellow cotton-padded jacket." Unlike Wang Xifeng's luxury and dazzling, Sister Bao in front of her is as modest and simple as her sister next door.
Baoyu's evaluation is that "the lips are not red, the eyebrows are not blue, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like water apricots" (the classic language describing Baochai). Not much to say, people call it hiding stupidity, being quiet at any time, and being self-disciplined. "Baochai is so quiet in Xiu Xiu. At this time, Baochai answered with a smile instead of a smile. That smile is not a response, nor is it completely sincere, but it is still mixed with heart. Sister Bao, who is sensible, will not forget that etiquette, "It is to order Yinger to pour tea." While asking the old lady, how about menstruation and other sisters? ".
Baoyu in front of Baochai, "wearing a purple and gold crown, a pair of dragons grabbing pearls and gold on his forehead, a white fox axil arrow sleeve, a five-color butterfly around his waist, and a long-lived lock and a registered symbol hanging around his neck, a Baoyu taken down when he fell into the grass." Here, I would like to make a special mention of Baoyu's dress at this time. Baoyu went back to Fu Rong with his grandmother from Ningfu, but he was able to change clothes. I don't know if this is because Baoyu is afraid of meeting Jia Zheng on the way to pear fragrance court, or if Baoyu really treats Baochai in pear fragrance court as an outsider.
Baochai "approached" to see Baoyu's jade, and Baoyu "leaned in" to show Baochai his jade. Although Baoyu Baochai was only a teenager at that time, she was alone in a room, showing her personal ornaments to each other at such a close distance. Especially when Baochai showed Baoyu her gold ring, she "unbuttoned her button and took out a shiny gold ring in her red coat". Even for modern people, it is a little embarrassing for girls to undress in front of boys, not to mention the feudal society hundreds of years ago. So here, I think Baochai's behavior is because of her selfishness: 36 tricks, a beautiful woman's calculation.
I don't know. I don't know. The accessories of the two people really match at first glance: one is psychic Baoyu, which reads "Don't forget Heng Chang's eternal life"; One is a golden wreath, which reads "Never leave your youth". Even Baochai's maid Yingying (the oriole mentioned in the title) saw the match. "I heard these two sentences, but they seem to be a pair with the girl's collar." But Baoyu is a fool and doesn't take this seriously. He also said, "My sister and I are really a couple." Baochai is very clever and is a daughter's house, so it is inevitable that she will be embarrassed.
Sister Bao's honey trap didn't succeed. Baoyu is not as clever as she thinks, or Baoyu has no idea of getting married at all. Then Baochai started the second plan-Leng Xiang Plan. Just kidding, it's just that Baoyu is close to Baochai, so he "only smells the fragrance of My Sweetie". Isn't this the description of Lengxiang Pill? Cold: cold and dense; Item:. Cold fragrant pill is a kind of pill that Baochai swallowed, which can make Baoyu smell that the aroma of the pill has entered Baochai's body, but Baoyu smells it, and no one else has mentioned it, or only Baoyu can smell it.
Then there is the plot entitled "Exploring Baochai and Daiyu with half acid". We will talk about it in the next part, and this time (the first part) is over.
