Red Mansion Cat Master

Xuan Lou raised his chin, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.He could hear that Wang Xifeng was deliberately targeting him, but at the moment he didn't argue.It's not that he has nothing to say, but he doesn't bother to argue with people like Wang Xifeng. Success or failure is never just spoken.

Xuanlou summoned some servants nearby and ordered them to find someone.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng was even more fearless.These servants are all under her jurisdiction, if anyone dares to say something that shouldn't be said in front of her today, she will definitely show him in the future!

The boys were indeed afraid of Wang Xifeng, and all of them bowed their heads honestly.A few people did have something in their stomachs, but they didn't dare to confess.

Xuan Lou sensed the subtlety and smiled lightly. "If anyone among you can find him, he will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and he will also be promoted as my master's personal servant." The conditions for opening Xuanlou are very good, and the servants will not only get money, but also their status will be promoted accordingly.Not to mention the need to be under Wang Xifeng's control in the future, it will be more honorable to serve by the side of the big master, and it will be easier to be promoted to a steward in the future.

As soon as Xuan Lou said this, several servants were ready to move.After all, no matter how secretive the masters are, they cannot escape the eyes of their servants who do chores.

More than a dozen young men scattered in all directions, each rushing to the place where they thought Second Master Lian should be.

The morning sun has just risen, and the weather is cool and refreshing.

Xuan Lou was a little sleepy, he yawned, got back into the carriage, leaned directly on the cushion, and fell asleep.

About two sticks of incense time, someone suddenly shouted: "I found the second master Lian."

Xuanlou got up lazily, looked through the window screen, and sure enough there were two young servants supporting Jia Lian.

Jia Lian still smelled of alcohol and was still tired.As Wang Xifeng said, Jia Lian did go to drink last night, but it wasn't flower wine, but a dull drink with Lai Wang in a side room next to the back building.The two of them stayed up late and drank too much wine, so naturally they couldn't get up the next day.

Jia Lian knew that he had caused trouble for the old man and was ashamed, and he hated that woman Wang Xifeng for making trouble for him yesterday.After apologizing to the old man, Jia Lian cast a cold glance at Wang Xifeng, and got into the carriage without saying a word.

Wang Xifeng was so angry that she broke her teeth.

Wang Xifeng did know where Jia Lian was going, and asked Ping'er to send someone to watch him early in the morning, intending to make Jia Lian miss the time to go to Yangzhou.I don't want the old man to be serious, so there are two young servants who have done nothing.Wang Xifeng hated her so much, she turned her head and gave Ping'er a hard look, complaining that she was not thorough enough.

Ping'er had nowhere to complain, so he just bowed his head and kept silent.

Xuanlou asked the names of the two boys.One is called palm bamboo and the other is called stone.

"Let's go together." Xuanlou said.

Zongzhu and Shitou thanked the old man immediately, and turned around to prepare their luggage.

"Okay, what's missing on the way, hurry up and get in the car." Xuanlou glanced at Wang Xifeng, who was pale, put down the window screen, and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyelids.

Wang Xifeng stood stupidly for a while, then angrily shook the handkerchief and went back to the room. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she couldn't help criticizing Luoping. "I told you to send someone to watch him. Even if he wakes up, you have to find a way to catch him. How can you do it?"

"Second Mistress, this matter can't be stopped at all. Since someone found it, our people went to stop it on purpose, so it wouldn't make people talk about it." Ping'er explained softly.

Wang Xifeng frowned, feeling overwhelmed, determined to find balance with the old lady.She had to say something bad about the old lady in front of the old lady.

After listening to the mother-in-law's report, Jia's mother saw Wang Xifeng coming, thinking that Wang Xifeng would report in person, and said with a smile: "I know he has set off, I hope he has a safe journey, and he should arrive in Yangzhou soon."

Wang Xifeng smiled awkwardly, and swallowed back the words.

Mother Jia glanced at Wang Xifeng and asked if she had anything to say.

"It's my fault. Second master drank too much wine last night, so he casually rested in the back building. Unexpectedly, second master slept too much in the morning, and the people I sent didn't find him again, which almost delayed her trip today. "Wang Xifeng showed a guilty look.

Jia Mu squinted her eyes and smiled, very amiable, "Now that he has caught up, forget it, you don't have to blame yourself. You are not to blame for this matter, and he is not your pug. You need to tie a rope to see him." on."

"Li'er is the reason. I'm afraid that the old man will be overwhelmed and think that I want to keep him on purpose. I have a conscience. I wish he could go out to practice and practice, so that I won't have to worry about it in the future. This housekeeper! , I really need a sharper helper." Wang Xifeng's face was gloomy at first, but then gradually turned better, and there was still a smile on his lips when he said it.

Seeing that she spoke with deep affection, Jiamu knew that she was sincere, and felt even more distressed for the child, and told her not to worry. "Don't worry, with my old lady here, let's see who dares to misunderstand you! Good boy, just focus on your business. If something goes wrong, I'm still there."

Wang Xifeng took a reassurance pill, smiled very happily, and quickly sent out some small things to please Jiamu and Baoyu.

After boarding the ship, Xuan Lou basically spends his days on the couch.In a day, there are only one or two hours to wake up, come out of the room, bask in the sun on the deck, or go fishing with Jia Lian.Xuanlou's fishing is just a pretense.He was dizzy and liked to fish with his eyes closed. He would fall asleep soon after.On the contrary, Jia Lian is better, and can catch two fat fish and add vegetables every time.

As a cat, Xuanlou possesses a common characteristic of cats, cleanliness.Cats clean their bodies by licking their fur with their tongues.Xuanlou has become a man, and he still doesn't forget this habit.

He is used to licking when he gets up early, after a meal, and when he wakes up.

After a few days like this, he found that his body was getting dirtier and dirtier.Moreover, the structure of the human tongue is too simple, and it does not have the function of cleaning the body at all.

Although Xuanlou doesn't like water, for his own cleanliness, he has to learn to bathe with water like other humans.The first few times I felt a little uncomfortable, but gradually, Xuan Lou enjoyed the bathing process very much.

Because he loves cleaning too much, he has to wash at least three times a day, so he doesn't bother the people on board to boil hot water, just use river water.Sometimes when the mood comes, he has to wash five or six times a day. Basically, he wakes up, eats, takes a bath, and then sleeps again, and so on.

Jia Lian never dared to care about the preferences of the elder.Besides, he has Qiutong by his side now, so he doesn't bother to worry about how much the master loves to be clean.

Five days later, when the ship docked at the pier, Jia Lian and his servants got off the ship in a hurry to buy rice and vegetables.Xuanlou meditated on the deck.

Yingchun's room, through the window, you can just see the figure of the old man.She hid in the room embroidering and felt tired, so she looked up to see if the master was there.At this glance, he found that the master had fainted on the ground.Yingchun panicked, lost the needle and thread in her hand, and hurriedly led someone to help the master back to the room.

She didn't care about anything, panicked, and stood in the middle of the room at a loss, not knowing what to do.Seeing that the old man's face was pale and tense, Siqi anxiously urged Yingchun to make up his mind.

Yingchun was so anxious that her head was sweating and she stamped her feet dryly. "You say, what should I do? The second brother is not here, and I don't know where I went, and I can't find it if I send someone out. The pier is some feet away from the county town, and all the boys who can contribute to the boat have left with the second brother. We A few female relatives are here, where can I invite a doctor."

"But if Miss doesn't make up her mind, something will happen easily." Siqi said anxiously.

"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me." Yingchun frowned and wandered back and forth in the room. She was so panicked that her mind went blank and she couldn't think at all.She really didn't want to face all this.

Siqi had no choice but to get a basin of hot water first, and wipe the old man's face with a hot towel. During this period, he kept pinching the old man's mouth, but it didn't work.

Yingchun sat on the side in a panic, watching Siqi busy, feeling extremely guilty.After a while, she led the people to the deck, stretched her neck and looked at the shore from a distance, hoping that her second brother would come back soon to be the master.

After about two sticks of incense, Yingchun saw a carriage driving towards the pier.She hurriedly sent her mother-in-law to meet him.

Jia Lian hurriedly boarded the boat to investigate the situation of the elder.

Jia Lian touched Tanxuanlou's forehead with his hand, and called the master twice, but he still didn't wake up, so he planned to send someone to invite the doctor.When she turned her head, she saw her little sister Yingchun standing beside her and weeping very sadly.It was the first time he had seen his dull second sister get emotional, and he was a little flustered.

When Yingchun was asked by Jia Lian, she cried even more sadly: "It's all my fault, it's useless. I panicked for a while and didn't know what to do. If I delay the master's illness, I will be unforgivable."

"Silly girl, you are only seven years old. You are very young. You can withstand many things. Don't be sad!" Jia Lian persuaded Yingchun, when suddenly the master on the couch called out.The two brothers and sisters rushed to the bed and called for the elder.

Xuan Lou barely opened his eyes, looked at the two pairs of eyes staring at him beside the bed, and smiled.

"Father, are you okay?" Yingchun asked while weeping.

Jia Lian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the master can laugh.

"It's okay, it's just dizziness. As long as we get to Yangzhou City as soon as possible, I'll be fine." Xuanlou's eyelids that were barely opened began to droop again.

Jia Lian hurriedly ordered the boat to sail, urging the boatman to speed up the journey, and at the same time instructing the cook to cook some fish for the master.

In the past, the old man would eat the fish as soon as he saw them, but now his appetite is getting worse and worse, and he has no motivation to use chopsticks, so he lies down and rests.

When he arrived in Yangzhou, Xuanlou hadn't eaten for two days.
