Chapter 136 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 9
Only then did Grandmother Jia see Daiyu come in, and she waved to her, asking her to come over and sit down.
"Yu'er, aren't you scared? It's all that evildoer's fault. He's learned his lesson this time."
Daiyu wiped her eyes and looked at Grandmother Jia again, her eyes turned red.
"Madam, I don't know what happened to Baoyu. He suddenly came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, dropped the jade, and fainted. My heart is still pounding."
Grandmother Jia hugged Daiyu and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Yu'er. When Baoyu wakes up, I will ask him to apologize to you."
Daiyu lowered her head, revealing her slender neck, looking so frail that it made people feel pity for her.
"That's not necessary. As long as Baoyu is well in the future, that's all that matters."
Grandmother Jia was very pleased and hoped that the two Yu'ers would not have any grudge against each other.
Soon, Baoyu woke up. He was in a daze and seemed to have lost his soul. Grandmother Jia became worried again and asked the doctor to examine him carefully.
Nan Xi was also amazed that this spiritual jade was so magical that it could actually affect Baoyu.
Mrs. Wang was very frightened, but many people saw Baoyu dropping the jade, so it had nothing to do with other people.
Mrs. Wang could only glare at Daiyu. If it weren’t for Daiyu, why would Baoyu do this?
Baoyu's condition did not improve for a long time, and Jia's mother consulted doctors, fortune tellers, monks and Taoist priests, but nothing worked.
Finally, Mrs. Wang found a piece of jade from somewhere and gave it to Baoyu to wear. This piece of jade was surprisingly 80% similar to the previous one.
What’s even more miraculous is that Baoyu’s sanity gradually recovered and he was no longer stupid.
After Baoyu recovered, he seemed to have forgotten that he had come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and was still very affectionate when he saw Daiyu.
He had just expressed his feelings for Daiyu, and then he brought up the matter between Jiang Yuhan and Jin Chuan. Nan Xi also admired him very much.
Baoyu really didn't have any obscene thoughts about girls, but he was really amorous. Nan Xi thought he was too passionate.
Influenced by Nan Xi and having read many miscellaneous books, Daiyu had long lost interest in Baoyu, but could still make some jokes when she heard about him.
Only Xiren felt a little embarrassed when facing Daiyu. She was anxious at the time and blamed Daiyu. Now thinking about it, she shouldn't have done that.
Xiangyun came several times, always to play with Baochai. Daiyu was happy to have some quiet time, so she just stayed in Xiaoxiang Pavilion on the pretext of observing mourning.
After "Qiushuangzhai occasionally formed the Begonia Society", Xiangyun still held a crab feast with the assistance of Baochai.
The food tasted quite fresh when paired with the newly brewed chrysanthemum wine. After playing for a while, Daiyu went to Grandmother Jia's room because Granny Liu also came.
Liu Laolao had received relief before, and now that there was a good harvest, she came to express her gratitude with fresh fruits and vegetables.
While everyone was chatting and laughing, Granny Liu told a story about collecting firewood in the snow. Baoyu believed it and kept asking questions. Daiyu didn't say anything sarcastic this time, but she felt even more indifferent towards Baoyu.
Granny Liu wore a red dress and a flower in her hair, and spoke in a humorous and witty manner, making the group of people headed by Lady Jia laugh so hard that even Nan Xi couldn't help laughing so hard that her stomach ached.
After staying for two days, Granny Liu was ready to go home. Sister Feng and Lady Jia both sent her gifts, Yuanyang and Ping'er also sent some clothes and cakes. Baoyu was considerate enough to give Granny Liu the cup that she used to drink water from Miaoyu's place.
Liu Laolao had a great harvest. This time when she returned home, she could buy some land to support her family. She would also have some surplus to send Ban'er to school and improve her family's status in the future.
Sitting in the carriage, Granny Liu was filled with joy.
Daiyu also asked Nan Xi to give her twenty taels of silver. The old lady had a hard life, and she hoped that she would have a better life in the future.
Nan Xi went to Jiaomen and just delivered the purse, and then Granny Liu set off for home.
When we returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Baochai came.
In the original novel, Baochai deliberately picked on Daiyu's faults, and the two had a heart-to-heart talk about "The West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion", and their relationship became much closer.
Later, they became close friends after they gave each other bird's nests.
But that performance was held in Hengwu Garden, but this time it was held in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
"Sister Lin, I came here today to ask you what you said in the drinking game yesterday. I don't even know where it came from."
Daiyu was stunned, and remembered that the two lines of poetry she blurted out yesterday were from "The West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion".
Daiyu suddenly laughed, "Sister Bao, it turns out that all the beautiful flowers are left to the broken wells and dilapidated walls like this. Who said this?"
Baochai laughed and said, "I wanted to remind you, but you found out my fault."
Daiyu tilted her head and blinked her eyes, "I don't know where to start with this. How can my sister say it, but I am wrong if I say it?"
Baochai held Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin is very smart. I just reminded her in vain."
Baochai sighed and continued, "You and I both lost our fathers at a young age, so I understand your heart best.
Men should read books to gain knowledge and help govern the country, and we girls should only do needlework and weaving. It is better if they cannot read, but we are most afraid that they will read some miscellaneous books and change their temperament, which will make them hopeless.
Daiyu looked at Baochai in surprise, "I thought Sister Bao not only loved reading, but also had a broad mind, and was a hero among girls. It turns out I was wrong."
Baochai said earnestly: "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent..."
Daiyu disagreed. "A woman without talent is virtuous. It means that if she has no talent, she should be virtuous. It does not mean that she should not read. I don't know why Sister Bao read so many books and turned out to be a vulgar person."
These words were a bit harsh, and Baochai's face turned red, and she felt very uncomfortable.
During this period, because of Daiyu, even Baoyu became estranged from her. She originally wanted to get closer to Daiyu today, but unexpectedly, she was taught a lesson by Daiyu instead.
Baochai forced a smile and said, "Pin'er is really unforgiving with her words."
Daiyu frowned, "Sister Bao, it's OK that Baoyu acted foolishly before, but I have never acknowledged this word."
Baochai could no longer sit there, so she hurriedly found an excuse and left Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Nan Xi smiled and added two new books to Daiyu, saying, "Well done, keep up the good work."
Daiyu looked at the smile on Nan Xi's face and said a little embarrassedly.
"It's not easy for Sister Bao either. Sister is the one who takes care of the Xue family. Will she be sad if I say this?"
Nan Xi was just about to comfort her, but Daiyu picked up the book on the table and started reading. After a while, she suddenly laughed. It turned out that she was engrossed in reading.
Zijuan also sighed. Miss Lin used to be weak and pitiful, but now her words are not as sharp-tongued as before, but her temperament has become much tougher.
I don’t know if it’s good or bad.
Thinking that Miss Lin was now in much better health, Zijuan became happy again. As long as she was in good health and had a more cheerful personality, it would be better.
Seeing that Nan Xi was accompanying Daiyu, Zijuan took the embroidery frame and sat down in the corridor to make clothes for Daiyu.
The room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of Daiyu turning pages of a book.
Nan Xi sat aside and looked at the beauty, feeling extremely comfortable.
