Baoyu said with a smile, "As soon as you mentioned shoes, I remembered a story: I wore them once and happened to meet my grandfather, but he was useless. I asked who did it. I dared to mention the word' third sister' there. I said that the day before yesterday was my birthday and my aunt gave it to me. When grandpa heard that my aunt gave it to me, he couldn't say anything. It took him a long time to say,' Why?' It is a waste of manpower to make such a thing. I came back to tell Aaron, and Aaron said that was enough. Aunt Zhao complained angrily:' serious brother, no one can see the shoes and socks, make these things! Tanchun's face fell at once and said, "What a fool!" ! What, should I make shoes? Isn't there a case with rings and no one? Ordinary clothes are clothes, shoes and socks are shoes and socks, and a room full of girls and wives. How can you complain about these words? Who are you listening to? I'm just idle, be a couple and a half, love that brother, and be careful. Who dares to care about me? This is also white gas. "

It turned out that Baoyu took this as a joke and mentioned that Tanchun made shoes for him. As a result, Tanchun got angry because she complained about Aunt Zhao. Tanchun is very concerned about her birth and the status of her concubine, which makes her particularly sensitive. Even if Baoyu mentioned this and said aunt Zhao, Tanchun was equally angry and said Baoyu was confused.

In fact, Baoyu is not confused at all. Baoyu bought some small things for Tanchun. When Aunt Zhao knew this, she not only complained that Tanchun made shoes for Baoyu, but also said that Tanchun gave her money to Baoyu. Baoyu obviously didn't want to get involved in this matter, especially Aunt Zhao's importune, which made Baoyu hate his guts.

So why does Baoyu hate Aunt Zhao? There is an unspeakable reason.

In the 25th episode of A Dream of Red Mansions, Aunt Zhao cooperated with Baoyu's foster mother Ma Daopo and almost killed Baoyu and Wang Xifeng. Although this matter was not put on the table, it was not found out in name. In fact, Baoyu is also wary of Aunt Zhao. Just because he didn't catch Aunt Zhao doing these bad things, Baoyu had no choice but to stay away from right and wrong and Aunt Zhao.

I remember once, Baoyu wanted to tell Daiyu about bird's nest. He never imagined that Aunt Zhao came in at this time, and Baoyu's attitude towards Aunt Zhao was very strange. Daiyu also politely greeted Aunt Zhao, but Baoyu didn't seem to see Aunt Zhao. He came in and left without saying a word.

Naturally, Baoyu has an aversion to Aunt Zhao. Of course, there is another unspeakable reason, that is, Baoyu has always suspected that the person who harmed himself on the 25th time was Aunt Zhao. Because there is no evidence, Baoyu has to suspect that there is nothing he can do about Aunt Zhao. However, his dislike for Aunt Zhao has been fully revealed in his expression. This time, in a joke with Tanchun, his dislike for Aunt Zhao was vividly displayed.

Fortunately, Tanchun's attention at that time was focused on the complaints and dissatisfaction with Aunt Zhao. Otherwise, with her protection for Aunt Zhao, she is very concerned about these words of Baoyu. Many people think that Tanchun's estrangement from his biological mother, Aunt Zhao, is heartless, but in fact, it is ultimately wronged Tanchun. Tanchun seems to alienate Aunt Zhao, but she actually protects Aunt Zhao in her way, but Aunt Zhao, who loves to make trouble, is ungrateful.

Therefore, Baoyu only jokingly mentioned Aunt Zhao's complaint about Tanchun, but did not mention Aunt Zhao for no reason, which made Tanchun suspicious. It can be seen that even if Baoyu hates Aunt Zhao and suspects that Aunt Zhao has harmed him, there are unspeakable reasons why he can't tell Tanchun.
