Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 535 Rumors Spread
She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Why are you so delicate? The fever has subsided, it's nothing serious."

Baoyu hurriedly said: "Then you should rest for a few more days, and you will hurt your bones if you don't take good care of yourself."

Xiren felt warm in his heart, and his smile deepened. While serving Baoyu diligently, he found an excuse to send Qingwen out.

Unexpectedly, when Qingwen walked out of Baoyu's room, she suddenly remembered that the ink stick Mingyan'er bought for Baoyu hadn't been brought in yet, so she went to find Mingyan and asked about it. Standing there with a group of housekeepers waving for her to pass, each with a very serious expression, I don't know why?
Qingwen straightened her clothes a bit, walked over quickly, first saluted all the women in a proper manner, and then asked, "What did Mrs. Lin call me?"

Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I just said that Qingwen can read some words now, and she has been influenced by Miss Lin for a while, and even the Lin family's literary spirit has been tainted a little bit, although she still has such a fiery temperament, But you have already understood what is good and bad, it is good, but you still don’t believe it.”

A woman standing on the side smiled and said: "Yes, yes, Miss Qingwen is polite, and we still look at her with old eyes. It really shouldn't be, shouldn't be."

Qingwen hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say that. After all, we are all working in this mansion. In terms of age, which one of the mothers can't be Qingwen's elder? Qingwen was frivolous and unrestrained, with eyes There is no room for anyone here, and now that Qingwen has changed, I hope the mothers will ignore the past grudges."

There is a reason why Lin Zhixiao's family is highly regarded by the masters in Jia's mansion. The couple are not only talented, but also only think about the master.No, recently Lin Zhixiao's family often heard someone give eye drops to Xiren in front of him, and instead praised Qingwen.

At first, she didn't care about it, thinking that Baoyu didn't like it because Xiren was too virtuous, and Baoyu liked the pretty Qingwen more, but the people below couldn't believe what they said, who didn't know that the lower the slaves, the more understanding How about following the wind?

However, after observing for a period of time, Lin Zhixiao's family found that Qingwen was polite to everyone above and below, and smiled when she saw people. Although she still couldn't suppress her temper when she encountered problems in principle, compared It is already much better, plus she has always been quick in doing things, dexterous, and has a good memory. Everything in Baoyu's room is handed over to her without any mistakes or omissions. She is quite talented, Lin Zhixiao's family My opinion of Qingwen has also changed, and I often feel that she is no worse than Xiren.

This time when Qingwen was called, she had an important matter to ask her.

There have already been several rough envoy women in Baoyu's yard who have come to complain to Lin Zhixiao's family, saying that the attackers have been secretly communicating with Baoyu without telling the masters.Lin Zhixiao's family didn't believe it at first, but later more and more people talked about it. She cared about the dignity of Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, and thought that Mother Jia had given the attacker to Baoyu in the first place. She was the housekeeper. Yes, how can you guess the old lady's mind, what if she acquiesced?
But recently, I don't know if the attacker offended someone, or the two of them didn't know how to avoid people. More and more people talked about this matter. Even if Lin Zhixiao's family didn't want to, they had to.

"Qingwen, let me ask you, Xiren, are you really on good terms with Baoyu?"

Qingwen was really taken aback, Lin Zhixiao's family has always been low-key, and they don't seem to be such gossips, why did they suddenly ask this?

"Ms. Lin, I..."

Seeing that Qingwen was hesitating and hesitating, it seemed difficult to speak, and the nuns on the side said: "Girl Qingwen, just speak up if you have anything to say, there are not one or two people talking about this matter in the house now, we plan to Let’s investigate this matter thoroughly.”

Why didn't Qingwen know that the matter had come to Lin Zhixiao's house and she couldn't hide it, but, how could she talk about such a thing?

Qingwen was in a dilemma for a long time, but still said: "Ms. Lin, you should ask someone else, I really don't know. Second Master Bao still has something to do, so I will leave first."

Qingwen ran away as if she was running away. Although she didn't say anything, judging by her reaction, what did Lin Zhixiao's family not understand?She snorted coldly and walked away with a flick of her sleeves. The direction was clearly going to Mrs. Wang's main courtyard.

After hearing the report from Lin Zhixiao's family and others, Mrs. Wang was so angry that her face turned purple, she slapped the Kang table, and all the teacups on the table fell to the ground and broke.

"What a Xiren, to be so courageous?! Do you think me and the old lady are both blind? How old is Baoyu, is she like this?"

Zhou Rui's family hurried up to comfort Madam Wang, took some qi-regulating pills for her, beat her chest and patted her back, and it took a long time to see Madam Wang's face softened a little.

Zhou Rui's family persuaded: "Madam, don't be so angry. After all, these words were passed down by the people below. Even the nuns in charge of them came to report to the wife after hearing such things. They didn't catch the current situation. I'm afraid she won't admit it if it's called an attacker. Besides, if the incident gets serious, Second Master Bao's face will not look good, but if the Su family and Shisan Baylor's house get wind of it, it won't be too bad after all. okay?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt as if she was enlightened, and said, "Why did I forget this matter? It's all Xiren's little hoof, and I lost my sense of proportion."

Mrs. Wang discussed it with her close friends. First of all, she should not let the servants in the mansion or the old lady know that she already knew about this matter. Secondly, Mrs. Wang specially arranged for a few thick women to go Baoyu's room was doing rough work, superficially to help, but in fact it was to monitor and listen to the corners, so that Mrs. Wang's people could catch up with the situation in time. The last and most important point was that from that day on, Lin Zhixiao's family took Several housekeepers in the mansion patrolled the night very diligently, especially around Baoyu's courtyard, they patrolled the night several times a day.

As for Mrs. Wang's arrangements, these arrangements were deliberately made inconspicuous, and Xi Ren really didn't notice it at all.

About three or five days passed like this. That night, Baoyu finished his homework early, took a bath and sat by the bed, Xiren wiped his hair with a dry cotton cloth.

There is a saying that looks at a beautiful woman under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more energetic you will be.Although Xiren is not a perfect beauty, she is someone Baoyu cares about.He did give her a lot of coldness recently because of his homework, but Xiren never complained, just watched over him quietly and took care of his daily life.

Seeing Xiren smiling slightly, with careful and gentle movements in his hands, Baoyu's heart moved, and he grabbed her catkin, and said in a low voice, "Sister Xiren..."
