One hundred and five, gossip
The big sister of the Shi family? Xue Panqi said, "Who is this sister?" Haven't been to this house before? ”
"We haven't been here since we came to this house, but tomorrow will come," Aunt Xue smiled, "It's the grandniece of the old lady's mother's family, she has no father and mother since she was a child, and she lives with her uncles and aunts. ”
"It's not that Brother Bao begged the old lady to pick it up," Bao Chai said with a smile, "It's such a lively story, and the sister of the Shi family always has to come over, the old lady loves Baoyu the most, and there is still a reason not to listen there." ”
Shi Xiangyun is here? Xue Pan couldn't help but feel a little excited, in this world of red mansions, if it comes to being bold and generous, innocent and innocent, it is naturally Xiangyun, this person who has lost his parents since childhood, can still be so cheerful and optimistic, even when reading the original text, he can't help but smile slightly when he sees her words and deeds, Xue Pan thought of this, and couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, and was seen by Aunt Xue, "What are you smiling at?" ”
Xue Pan woke up and hurriedly smiled, "It's nothing more than thinking that my sister has another girl to have fun with, I am not lonely at home, and I am more at ease outside." ”
Aunt Xue obviously showed an expression that I didn't believe your words, and Xue Pan coughed, "I don't know if the eldest sister of the Shi family is here, do you want to pay a salute?" ”
"Naturally, I want it, but I don't need to be too rich," Aunt Xue said, "I also asked your aunt, and she also said that this is different from the daughter of an ordinary relative, she has been raised under the knees of the old lady in this mansion since she was a child, and she grew up with Baoyu and them, and she is almost half of the master of this mansion, and her affection is not ordinary, but if you give too much, I am afraid that I will think that we are born." ”
Baochai saw that Aunt Xue still wanted to go by herself, so she no longer insisted, the time was almost the same, Xue Pan said goodbye and returned to his yard, Baochai pursed his lips and looked at Xue Pan's departing back, and smiled at Aunt Xue, "The old lady is ready to reward her brother with a big gift, but I don't know how happy my brother will be when she knows?" Mom wasn't ready to tell him? ”
"Don't tell him, lest his tail reach the sky," Aunt Xue smiled and pinched the Buddha beads and kept turning, "My son, it's rare for the old lady to value him like this, I have a reason to be unhappy, waiting for the old lady to give this big gift, and then surprise him, this is interesting," Aunt Xue is rarely so naughty, "You are not allowed to tell him, this matter has to wait for the old lady's order to count." ”
Not to mention what the mother and daughter were plotting about, Xue Pan returned to his yard, Yang Zhi greeted him, first changed Xue Pan's clothes, and then served tea, "There are still silver bamboo shoot noodles and white fungus soup in the small kitchen, do you want to eat some and read again?" ”
"Why should I read?"
Yang Zhi looked at Xue Pan strangely, "Didn't the uncle say it when he went home last time, saying that there was a big exam when he was in Layue, if he did badly, I was afraid that I would be embarrassed, so I had to call me every night to remind you to read." ”
"Oh oh," Xue Pan almost forgot this, as a student, there will be no exams there? Before the month holiday, there is always another "final exam", if the exam is too bad and the ranking is at the bottom, wouldn't it fall Xue Pan's reputation as the head of the class?
Xue Pan originally wanted to be lazy and not read, but he saw Yang Zhi take the lotus-shaped copper kettle glass lamp and put it on the kang table, so he had to cough, "It's time to read a book, hurry up and take a look." ”
Xue Pan took a copy of "Suiyuan Poems" and flipped through it casually, Yang Zhi snatched the book when he saw this, "This is a book to read when gossiping, where is there anything to read, you should also read the scriptures," Yang Zhi walked to the opposite side, took out a set of "Four Books" in a tiger's foot chest of drawers, and handed it to Xue Pan, "Uncle still read this, right?" ”
Xue Panqi said: "When did you recognize words?" A few days ago, I asked you to learn to read with the girl, and said that I was stupid and didn't want to learn. ”
Yang Zhi smiled proudly, "Where don't I know?" I know a lot of things," Xue Pan asked again, Yang Zhicai smiled, "Miss Xiangling often goes to this house to play, Miss Lin likes her very much, so sometimes I will teach her to read and write, I follow the side, but I recognize a lot of words, although I don't know what the book you read is called, but when you see this 'Sui' word, you know that it must not be a serious book, this is all casual, where can it be a scripture?" ”
This is Yang Zhi's little cleverness, but she was actually blinded by her, Xue Pan couldn't cry and laughed, "You are smart, just look at this, so speaking of which, when will I go to thank Miss Lin for her good life, I am grateful to her for teaching you to read and write." I thought it was taught by our girl. ”
"Our girl won't teach us this," Yang Zhi cut the lantern flower for Xue Pan, "The girl always says that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, let's take care of all these housework at home, it's enough, there is no need to learn anything else, I think it's right, but the uncle went out, and we were idle at home, so we just recognized a few words, I heard that Lian's second grandmother also didn't know words, but everyone in this house knew that she was powerful, so it can be seen that it is irrelevant to read or not." ”
"That's not right," Xue Pan said with a smile, "This second grandmother Lian is fortunate not to know words, if she can recognize words, I'm afraid it will be even more powerful, so I want to say thank you Miss Lin for going." ”
"Miss Lin doesn't look very good these days," Yang Zhi took a small horse and put it outside the door to sort out the silk thread by the light, "I am often sick, I occasionally look at it coldly, her eyes are red and swollen, I am afraid that she has secretly cried." ”
Saying this, Xue Pan came to the spirit, "But really? ”
"Nature is true? I didn't dare to ask Miss Lin, so I pulled the snow goose and asked a few words, the snow goose was young, and said that I was afraid that Miss Lin was thinking about Master Lin in Yangzhou, but I was afraid that the old lady would be worried and didn't want to say more. Yang Zhi sighed, "When will the uncle go and take a look." ”
Xue Pan nodded silently, it seems that he hasn't received a letter from Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou for a long time these days, could it be that he is busy in the middle of the year? Therefore, it must not be empty? Otherwise, it won't be like this, I still have to say a few more words to Daiyu tomorrow to make her happy, Xue Pan didn't have time to distinguish anything with Yang Zhi, "You guys will go together tomorrow, the scenery in Huifang Garden is excellent." ”
