The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

The queen issued a decree of grace to allow the old maids to leave the palace. Most of the court ladies who had no relatives at home were willing to stay in the palace. and identity documents, the maids who left the palace carried their burdens on the mule cart outside the palace gate in twos and threes, and went home.

Baoqin was also among the maids who went out of the palace. She was originally a child of Jia's family. Both her parents were dead and she had no brothers or sisters. The jewels and banknotes went to the historian.

The historians knew that Baoqin was Yuanchun's personal maid, so they hurriedly welcomed Baoqin in and treated her with great courtesy.Baoqin has been in the palace for a long time, so she is naturally very good at doing things for others. When she saw Mrs. Shi, she first presented two pairs of gold inlaid corn beads Bu Yao, saying that it was a gift from the imperial concubine.The family background of the Shi family was considered the least wealthy among the four major families, so Mrs. Shi was naturally overjoyed to see the radiant Bu Yao.Baoqin took out two ten thousand taels of silver bills and said to Shi Ding: "Master Hou, my mother is pregnant and it is difficult to move, please ask Master Hou to take care of the old lady on your behalf, and the servant girl will thank Lord Hou on your behalf."

Shi Ding laughed and said: "You don't need to be too polite, the lady holding the piano, the old lady is the aunt of the Marquis, so I naturally have to be careful. Yesterday the emperor decreed to move the female family members of Jia's mansion to the Prison Temple, and we will ask for it in a few days. If you ask for mercy, they will all be released. Since you are out of the palace, you will stay at our house first, and you can follow her after the aunt comes out. "

Baoqin was relieved when she heard that the women of Jia's mansion had been moved to the Prison God Temple, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for taking in the maidservant, please forgive me, and allow the maidservant to go to the Prison God Temple to visit the old lady."

Shi Ding laughed and said, "It's natural, even if you don't tell me, the Marquis will make arrangements."

Baoqin hurriedly knelt down to thank you again, Shi Ding left his seat to help Baoqin up with his own hands, his eyes were fixed on Baoqin's body, Baoqin was born with willow eyebrows, almond eyes, pink face and red lips, although he was a little older, but also It is still delicious.Shi Ding was thinking of begging for an aunt these days, but happened to see Baoqin, so he couldn't help thinking.After being in the palace for more than ten years, Baoqin didn't understand anything, but Baoqin still wanted to marry a good man to be the wife of the house, so he bowed his head and took a step back, whispering: "The maidservant's status is low. , dare not work the Marquis."

"Uncle, I heard that Sister Baoqin is here. Is it true?" A crisp voice sounded, and then a girl in red ran in. This girl was Shi Xiangyun.

Baoqin hurriedly turned around to greet Xiangyun, Xiangyun grabbed Baoqin without waiting for Baoqin to bow down and said: "Sister Baoqin, but the mother sent you out to save the old lady?"

Baoqin nodded, and Xiangyun said happily: "It's really great, the mother is in charge, the old ladies and wives will be fine soon, right?"

Baoqin saw that Xiangyun was really thinking about the old lady, so he nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, the empress is now double, and it is inconvenient to move, so she let the maid out of the palace to do things cheaply."

Shi Xiangyun muttered: "Okay, uncle, let's go see the old lady today. I heard that they were moved to the Prison Temple, which is much looser than the prison."

Shi Ding originally wanted to talk about taking Baoqin into the house, but when Xiangyun interrupted him, he couldn't bring it up immediately, so he said in a deep voice: "Xiangyun, you are also a lady, how can you run around without going back to your room?" Just stay in peace, I will go to the Prison Temple with Miss Baoqin."

Xiangyun said anxiously: "Uncle, the Prison God Temple is full of female relatives. It's inconvenient for uncle to go, let the niece go. The old lady has grown up, and she doesn't know how sad she is after this incident. Go and pay the niece. I can comfort her well."

Shi Ding thought that what Xiangyun said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Alright, then let your aunt take you there. Girl Baoqin, you follow Xiangyun to tidy up and change clothes, and this Marquis will send you off in person. To the Temple of Hell."

Xiangyun took Baoqin back to his room and ordered Cuilu to look outside the door. Xiangyun lowered his voice and said: "Baoqin, does your mother know about loving brother?"

Baoqin was startled and said: "Didn't Second Master Bao be arrested and sent to Zongzheng Temple's prison?"

Xiangyun said in a low voice with red eyes: "No, I heard from my uncle that Brother Ai offended the Crown Prince and was sent to the Clothes Bureau to be punished by the Prince to do hard labor. Brother Ai has been honored by gold and jade since he was a child, how could he bear this kind of crime? Baoqin, quickly think of a way to tell the noble concubine, let the empress rescue Brother Ai."

Baoqin knew that Baoyu was the person Yuanchun cared about most in Jia's mansion, so she hurriedly comforted Xiangyun and said, "Miss Yun, don't worry, the empress loves Second Master Bao the most, and she will definitely intercede for Second Master Bao."

Xiangyun nodded vigorously and said: "Well, the empress is pregnant with Xiaolongzi, this love can definitely be obtained."

Baoqin pretended not to care and asked casually: "Miss Yun, I heard that Aunt Xue and Miss Baochai were also arrested, and they were also moved to the Prison Temple?"

Xiangyun didn't care, nodded and said: "Yes, their mother and daughter have also been moved to the Prison Temple. Baoqin, don't you think it's strange, the Xue family is just borrowing from the Jia family, and it's not from the Jia family. People, how did you arrest them too?"

Baoqin was not very clear in his heart, so he shook his head and said: "Maybe the Xue family committed a crime and they were locked up together. I have been in the palace all the time, and I don't know what's going on here."

Xiangyun sighed softly and said: "Oh, it turned out to be so nice. I was so happy with Brother Ai, Sister Lin, Sister Bao, Second Sister, Third Sister, and Fourth Sister. Now Brother Ai was arrested in the clothing bureau, and Sister Lin returned home. At home, my elder sister Bao, my second elder sister, and my third elder sister went to prison, and my fourth younger sister went to a nunnery, so the good days are gone."

Baoqin was slightly startled, and hurriedly asked: "Why did the fourth girl go to the nunnery?"

Xiangyun thought for a while and said: "I heard from my uncle that Prince Nian's fourth younger sister is from Ningguo Mansion, she is young and has never done anything wrong, so he let her go back to Ningguo Mansion, but Fourth Younger Sister refused. She must go to the nunnery, so His Royal Highness also complied with her and sent her to Jingyue nunnery."

Baoqin frowned and said, "Rongguo Mansion has encountered a catastrophe, why is there no movement at all in Ningguo Mansion?"

Xiangyun stomped on his feet angrily after hearing this: "Don't mention Ningguo Mansion again. My uncle went to Ningguo Mansion a few days ago and wanted to intercede with Mrs. I don’t even see my uncle, let alone discuss the matter of saving lives.”

Baoqin's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "Did Uncle Zhen know about that?"

Seeing that Baoqin lost his mind, Xiangyun pushed Baoqin and shouted: "Baoqin, what are you thinking?"

Baoqin quickly concealed: "Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about how the old ladies are doing now, they are all people who have never suffered before, this time they must have suffered a great crime."

Xiang Yun sighed: "That's not it. I said earlier that I would visit the prison, but Zongzheng Temple is very strict and does not allow visits at all. Fortunately, the emperor gave me the grace to be locked up in the Prison Temple, otherwise I really don't know what to do. "

While talking, Mrs. Shi packed up and came to call Xiangyun and Baoqin in person.A group of four in sedan chairs carried them out of the Shifu and went straight to the Prison Temple.

Shi Ding put on the airs of Lord Hou, and ordered the commander to go to the jailer of the Prison Temple. After a while, the jailer ran over, and he saluted in front of the sedan chair. Shi Ding said in a deep voice: "This Marquis Come to visit the female relatives of the Jia family, you open the door quickly."

The jailer had already been ordered by Shui Chi's personal attendant, and he just bowed and smiled and said, "Young master's order, I dare not disobey it, but it's just that the prisoners here are serious offenders and female relatives, but Master Hou's visit to the prison is not good. Convenience. The villain is responsible, please be considerate of Lord Hou."

Shi Ding frowned and said in a deep voice: "Bold, you are just a small prison boss, you dare to talk in front of Ben Hou, so hurry up and open the door, if it is late, be careful of your dog head."

The jailer simply knelt down on the ground and said, "Master Hou, this villain has the heavy responsibility of guarding the prisoner. If the prisoner makes a mistake, the villain's family will be in danger. Please forgive me."

The prisoner moved out of the emperor, so Shi Ding naturally couldn't say anything more, he just said with a sullen face: "Forget it, Benhou won't go, let Mrs. Benhou and Miss visit the prison, you will have nothing to say."

The jailer hurriedly said: "Since we are madam and miss, I don't have to worry about the villain, so let's go and get ready."

Shi Ding shouted in a deep voice, "Go quickly."

The jailer hurriedly ran back to make arrangements, and when he was young, he ran out again and bowed: "It has been arranged, madam please, miss please."

With the help of her maid, Mrs. Shi Ding frowned and covered her mouth and nose, and walked into the prison temple, Xiangyun and Baoqin followed behind her.Shi Ding sat in the sedan chair and waited quietly.

As soon as he saw Jiamu and others in the prison door, Baoqin quickly took out a silver coin and stuffed it into the prisoner's hand, and said with a smile: "May I ask you to help me."

The prisoner weighed the silver, estimated it was 20 taels, and then smiled and said: "Madam, please go ahead, the little lady is waiting outside."

Mrs. Shi Ding waved her hand, and the jailer retreated, and Mrs. Shi Xiangyun took the piano to meet Jia Mu and others.

Xiang Yun rushed to the prison door and cried, "Old Ancestor, Yun'er has come to see you!"

Tanchun helped Jia Mu stand up, trembling slightly walked to the prison door, Jia Mu stretched out her hand from the railing and grabbed Xiangyun's hand, crying with old tears: "Yun girl, you are finally here!"

Xiangyun cried: "Old ancestor, you have suffered."

Mother Jia wiped her tears with her dirty sleeves, looking past Xiangyun at Mrs. Shi Ding and Baoqin. When she saw Baoqin, Mother Jia's eyes shrank suddenly, and she exclaimed, "Are you Hold the piano?"

Baoqin hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Jiamu outside the prison door. Jiamu stretched out her hand and shouted anxiously: "Baoqin, why are you here? How is your mother doing now?"

Aunt Xue, Mrs. Xue Baochai, who was huddled in the corner, became excited when she heard the word "hold the piano". Regardless of the whip wounds on her body, Mrs. Wang straightened her neck and shouted: "Your Majesty is here to save me. My Yuanchun is here to save me!"

When Baoqin heard this voice, she looked towards the corner of the wall. When she saw Mrs. Xue and Baochai, a gleam of joy flashed in her eyes, and she thought that this time she finally met the Lord.She hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, the old lady, the empress is in good health, and now she is almost two months pregnant, and the old lady also knows that it is not safe for a while, so the empress should concentrate on raising the baby, so she ordered the slaves to visit the old lady And the girls. Please rest assured the old lady, she will try to get you out."

Jia Mu closed her eyes and said softly: "Amitabha, as long as your mother is well, it will be all right."

Xue Baochai and Mrs. Xue helped Mrs. Wang move to the prison door. Mrs. Wang grabbed Baoqin and shouted eagerly: "Baoqin, your mother sent you to pick me up, right?"

Baoqin was so frightened by Mrs. Wang's frightening appearance that she couldn't help but take two steps back, and said in shock, "You... are your wife?"

Mrs. Xue hurriedly laughed and said: "Isn't it my wife, my mother's mother, Miss Baoqin, are you here to save us?"

Baoqin looked at Aunt Xue who was laughing with her, and couldn't help feeling chills in her heart. Who would have thought that this woman who smiled humbly was more cruel than a snake and scorpion, and she could come up with such a poisonous plan. Baoqin secretly reminded himself to be careful She can do it.

"Your Majesty is raising a baby right now, so it's inconvenient to move around. If Aunt Xue has some anti-birth medicine to offer, your Majesty may move around. Now that your Majesty's family is in full swing, even the Empress wants to give our Majesty a little bit. If she is in the emperor Saying something in front of me is more useful than anything else." Baoqin didn't forget his mission, so he said with a faint smile.

When Baochai heard this, he laughed first and said: "Our family has been running a pharmacy for generations, so how can there be no anti-abortion medicine, but only my Xue family knows how to make this medicine. Now in the prison, it's okay to ask for it. Even if we have a prescription in our hearts, we can't match it."

Listening to this, Jia's mother secretly became suspicious in her heart, always feeling that there was something wrong with it.Mrs. Wang only heard the words "My Lady's Holy Family is Zhenglong", and all the others were automatically filtered out. She was overjoyed and said: "My Lady's Holy Family is Zhenglong, this is great, holding the qin, Your Ladyship must be begging for mercy You came to pick me up. Sister, Bao girl, let's go!"

Baoqin was so surprised that his eyes widened and he shouted: "Madam, what's wrong with you?" As he held Qin and looked at Jia Mu, Jia Mu sighed and said in a deep voice: "Third girl, help your wife aside quickly." Rest."

Tanchun bowed his head and said yes, and went to Mrs. Wang to help her, but Mrs. Wang grabbed her wrist and scratched her hard with her black nails, leaving only a few deep wounds, and the blood beads flew quickly. It oozes out, and Tanchun is so painful that he pushes Mrs. Wang away, clutches the back of his hands and runs to Mother Jia, crying, "Old lady, madam, she's lost her mind, look..."

Jia Mu said lightly: "You can take care of it yourself, everyone is in trouble now, we need to be considerate to each other."

Tanchun didn't dare to say anything more, bowed to Baoqin, and said in a mournful voice: "Baoqin, you must tell your mother and ask her to save us."

Baoqin gave a dry cough, and answered in a vain manner.Tanchun just tore a narrow strip of cloth from the skirt, and wrapped the hand scratched by Mrs. Wang indiscriminately.

Seeing the chaos in the cell, Mrs. Shi Ding frowned, covered her nose and mouth with a veil, and said, "My aunt is suffering, Qiuyue, give the things we brought to my aunt."

Qiuyue agreed, and hurriedly opened the food box, and passed the dishes in through the railing. Yingchun Tanchun Baochai hurriedly took it. Mrs. Wang was beaten violently yesterday, and she didn't have the strength to grab it. Mrs. Xing watched Because Mrs. Shi Xiangyun still held the piano for those meals, she was too embarrassed to go forward to grab them.Jia Mu and the others hadn't had a full meal since they were imprisoned. Now that they had these foods, they put their heads together, grabbed the chicken and meat, and stuffed them into their mouths. During tea time, the four-food box of chicken, duck and fish brought by Mrs. Shi Ding was swept away by everyone in Jia's house.

Shi Xiangyun couldn't help crying when he saw the appearance of Jiamen's female relatives: "Old ancestor, what crime have you suffered!"

Mother Jia wiped the oil from her mouth with her black sleeve, and said to Xiangyun, "Don't cry, girl Yun, we don't have to be afraid of suffering a little, as long as Baoyu is well, your second brother was not arrested, girl Yun , you must find him. Without us to take care of him, he will suffer even if he is outside."

Xiangyun was shocked and said: "Old ancestor, what are you talking about? Elder Brother Ai has been arrested in the clothing bureau long ago. Why don't you know?" Hand shouted: "Yun girl, what did you say? Say it again, where is your elder brother Baoyu?"

Xiangyun was so frightened by Jia Mu that she pulled out her hand desperately, and said in a panic: "Brother Ai offended the prince, and was sent to the clothes bureau to be punished as hard labor."

Jia Mu has been very calm since she was imprisoned, but now she heard the news that Baoyu was sent to the clothes bureau to do hard labor. Take a breath, it looks extremely scary.Mrs. Xing rushed forward in Yingchun Tanchun, pinching people and pressing her chest. It took a long time to save Jia Mu from waking up.When Jia Mu woke up, she burst into tears. When she looked up and saw Mrs. Wang holding half a chicken skeleton and biting and gnawing, she cursed angrily: "Bitch, Baoyu has been locked up in the clothing bureau, you Still in the mood to eat!"

Mrs. Wang was injured, and she couldn't grab others when she was eating just now. She just picked up half a chicken skeleton and gnawed a couple of bites, then she heard Mother Jia scold.Mrs. Wang was stunned, and the chicken skeleton in her hand fell to the ground. Suddenly, she quickly climbed to the door and stood up, stretched out her hand and shouted: "Baoyu, my Baoyu... bitch, it's all about that foxy girl!" My son harmed my Baoyu, empress, you have to decide for our mother and son..."

Aunt Xue and Baochai hurried over to support Mrs. Wang, Baochai hurriedly said: "Auntie, as long as the mother speaks, Brother Bao will be safe. Don't worry, it's important to take care of yourself now."

Mrs. Shi Ding looked at the chaos in the prison, and said coldly: "Okay, time is not short, auntie, we will go back now."

Baoqin hurriedly said: "Madam, please, the servant girl still has something to say to the old lady."

Mrs. Shi Ding said impatiently: "Forget it, hurry up. Yun'er, let's go out first."

Xiangyun was very frightened by Mrs. Jia Muwang just now, and didn't know what else to say, so he lowered his head and said softly: "Old ancestor, Yun'er is gone, take care."

After waking up, Mother Jia remained silent. After hearing Baoqin's words, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and she stood up silently and walked to the corner.

Baoqin waited for Mrs. Shi Ding and Xiangyun to go far away before saying softly, "Mrs. Xue, please come and talk."

Aunt Xue walked to the door of the cell, hugged Qin and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Xue, how can I get you to dispense that miracle medicine?" , if the empress wants the anti-fetal medicine, all she needs to do is take Chai'er into the palace and mix it up slowly. Some things are inconvenient to say here, so it would be better for the two sisters to say it themselves."

Baoqin said angrily in his heart: "It's really a life-and-death thing. Up to now, I still want to enter the palace, and I don't even look in the mirror. With her appearance, who would like it!" But wanting to think about it, Baoqin said: "This matter is not easy to handle. My aunt will not stalk the eagle if she doesn't see the rabbit, but the empress can't lie. The empress didn't see anything, so why did she let Miss Bao enter the palace?"

Mrs. Xue was not in a hurry, she just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we are not in a hurry, anyway, the empress still has time to think about it, don't worry, don't worry!"

Baoqin was out of breath, but he couldn't continue, he just said with a sullen face: "Mrs. better think clearly."

Mrs. Xue only smiled strangely: "Okay, the girl who holds the piano should also persuade the empress to think carefully."

Both Baoqin and Mrs. Xue lowered their voices, so apart from the two of them, no one else heard the conversation. Only Baochai guessed something, and sat in the corner looking at his mother with a smile.

Baoqin saw that Aunt Xue couldn't get in, so he had to turn around and walk towards Jiamu. When Jiamu saw Baoqin coming, she said in a low voice: "Baoqin, what's the matter with your mother, you have to tell the truth."

Baoqin briefly explained Yuanchun's situation in a low voice. Hearing that Yuanchun's pregnancy was caused by taking banned drugs, Jia's mother burst into tears and cried: "How can this child do such a thing? You're looking for your own death, you silly boy, no matter what you do, you can't eat that kind of thing..."

Baoqin hurriedly said: "Old lady, keep your voice down."

Mother Jia stopped crying, and said bitterly: "This is all a conspiracy of the Xue family. I never imagined that they would be so frenzied in order to enter the palace, even their own niece. Baoqin, you go back first, come back in a few days, I will definitely Find a way to force them to hand over the antidote." Baoqin nodded and said: "Okay, old lady, the empress is entirely dependent on you, as long as the empress can give birth to Xiaolongzi safely, even if there is a serious crime, it can be eliminated. Intangible."

Jia Mu nodded and said: "Baoqin, we are fine here, but my Baoyu is suffering. You must visit Baoyu after you go out. The Huanyi Bureau allows you to redeem yourself with silver. You must redeem Baoyu. With Baoyu, our Jia family has hope." Baoqin nodded silently, and said softly, "Old lady, I have to go."

Jia Mu looked at Baoqin and said softly, "Well, go ahead and take Baoyu's matter to heart."

When Baoqin walked out of the cell, the servants of the Shifu saw Baoqin and hurried over and said: "Miss Baoqin, our master and wife are already waiting, please get on the sedan chair quickly."

Holding the qin and not getting into the sedan chair, she just walked to Shi Ding's sedan chair and said softly: "Master Hou, the old lady asked me to visit Master Bao, please Master Hou, Madam and Miss Yun go back to the house first."

After hearing this, Shi Ding said in a deep voice: "Baoqin, what kind of place is the Huanyi Bureau? How could you go there? Come back home with me."

Baoqin shook his head and said: "Master Hou, forgive me, Second Master Bao is the younger brother who is the most beloved by the empress, and the servant girl must visit him."

Shi Ding opened the sedan chair curtain and said calmly, "Baoqin, if you want to see Baoyu, don't go back to my Shifu."

Hearing that Shi Ding's words meant something bad, Baoqin thought for a while and said: "Master Hou, forgive me, Baoqin is leaving."

Shi Ding saw that Baoqin didn't buy his account, his face became more and more gloomy, he was about to get angry, but Baoqin said softly: "Master Hou, with your mother's order, I can't help it."

After hearing this, Shi Ding thought better, nodded and said: "Forget it, you have to be more careful." "Come on, go and call a car for Miss Baoqin, and take her to the Clothes Bureau." After finishing the order, Shi Ding ordered people to pick up the sedan chair and go back to the mansion. When the sedan chair of Shi Ding and his wife passed by, Xiangyun ordered the bearer to stop the sedan chair. , Girl Baoqin and I will go to see Baoyu, and we will go home after seeing him. Don't disturb my uncle." After speaking, Xiangyun stood beside Baoqin.The bearer didn't dare to disobey Xiangyun's intention, so he could only carry Cuilu back to Shifu.

When Baoqin saw Xiangyun like this, he knew that she had a lot of thoughts on Baoyu, so he took the hand holding Qin and said softly: "Miss Yun is still affectionate and righteous, no other girl can compare."

Xiangyun lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I don't know if Brother Ai has suffered, but I've always been thinking about it."

While talking, the car came, and Xiangyun got on the car with the piano in his arms and ran straight to the clothes bureau.When the carriage was approaching the Clothes Bureau, Xiangyun suddenly heard a familiar voice, and she exclaimed, "Stop."

The coachman reined in the horse, Xiangyun opened the curtain and looked back, and saw a girl in dark purple clothes with her hair wrapped in a handkerchief talking to a father-in-law not far behind the door. It looked familiar, Xiangyun recognized it, and exclaimed, "Zicuckoo!"

It turned out that the person who spoke to the father-in-law was Zijuan who was expelled from Lin's mansion by Daiyu.After she left the Lin Mansion, she rented a house next to the Huanyi Bureau, and asked the neighbor's aunt to take over her mending work for the Huanyi Bureau's father-in-law. The purple silk mending skills are good, and the price is also low. , Within a few days, I became acquainted with the father-in-law of the Huanyi Bureau. When Xiangyun saw Zijuan, Zijuan was handing in work.

Hearing someone calling her name, Zijuan hurriedly turned her head to look for it. Seeing Xiangyun's half body leaning out of the car, Zijuan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Miss Yun..."

Baoqin ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and drive it in front of Zijuan. Xiangyun pulled Zijuan into the car and asked anxiously, "Zijuan, why are you here? Is it Sister Lin who wants you to see brother Ai? Why are you wearing this dress?" Clothes, could it be that something happened to the Lin family too?"

Seeing Xiangyun, Zijuan couldn't help feeling hot in his eyes, and wiped his tears with his hands while crying: "Miss Yun, I was kicked out of the house by the girl. Now I only do some work to make a living."

Xiangyun was startled, and hurriedly asked: "How is this possible, Sister Lin has always relied heavily on you."

Zijuan whispered resentfully: "Reliance? Hmph, she only relies on the girls of the Lin family. After all, I am a servant of the Jia family. How could she really believe me? Second master, she drove me out of the Lin residence mercilessly. Back then you all said she was petty, and I still protected her, but now it seems that she is not only petty, but also cruel. How kind I am to her, I wish I could dig out my heart and give it to her, but now that the second master is in trouble, she will not save the second master, and she will not even allow me to visit the second master."

Xiangyun was shocked and said: "How could Sister Lin be like this? Brother Su Riai is the best with her, how could Sister Lin be so cruel?"

Zijuan has suffered a lot these days, she turned all the suffering into resentment, and said bitterly: "Cruel-hearted, she is not only cruel-hearted, she has no heart at all. The second master suffers here, but she suffers every day I feel at ease here, and my life is better than at Jia's."

Hearing this, Xiangyun gritted his teeth angrily: "She is such a person, hmph, I said to go and see her, but now it seems that she is not worthy. Zijuan, don't be afraid, she doesn't want you, I want you , you will go back to the Shifu with me later, you were originally the ancestor's girl, I can't let you live outside alone."

After hearing this, Zijuan shook her head and said, "Thank you, Miss Yun, for your kindness. I am fine now. I can still inquire about the second master here. The father-in-law inside has promised me to meet the second master tomorrow. .”

Baoqin didn't speak until he heard Li Baoqin and said: "Sister Zijuan, it's rare that you are so loyal."

Only then did Zijuan see Baoqin, and hurriedly saluted, "Zijuan pays homage to the female officer Baoqin."

Baoqin smiled and said: "Sister Zijuan, you don't need to be too polite. I am no longer a female official. My lady let me out of the palace. I have just seen the old lady. This meeting is to see the second master Bao."

Zijuan said happily: "Really, with you here, Master Bao can be regarded as saved."

Xiangyun took Zijuan's hand and said, "Zijuan, you are still loyal to Brother Ai."

Zijuan lowered her head and said, "I was born in the mansion, so I want to be loyal to my master. Miss Yun, the second master has suffered a lot these days. I heard from his father-in-law that the second master often reads Yours." Zijuan only said half of what she said, she didn't say that the person Jia Baoyu talked about the most was Daiyu.

Xiangyun's cheeks were flushed, his face fainted with joy, he cupped his face and said happily, "Really?"

Zicuckoo hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course it is true."

Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Zicuckoo, you are familiar with them, go and talk about it quickly, just say that we want to see Brother Ai."

With a thought in mind, Zijuan smiled and said, "Okay, Miss Yun, sister Baoqin, please wait here, I'll go right away."

Zijuan got out of the car and trotted to the door, talked with the gatekeeper's father-in-law for a long time, and gave him some things before the father-in-law nodded.Zijuan hurried back and said: "It's ready, Miss Yun, sister Baoqin, slow down."

As expected, Xiangyun holding the qin and Zicuckoo entered the door smoothly, and the little father-in-law led the three of them to a secluded place, where Baoyu was wearing an old cotton robe and sitting on a shabby On the bamboo chair, in front of him was a little eunuch who was struggling to wash his clothes. Baoyu lost a lot of weight, but this time his face was very clean, and even though the clothes on his body were old, they were also clean.As soon as he saw Zijuan, Baoyu jumped up happily. He ran forward and took Zijuan's hand and called affectionately: "Zijuan, why did you come here? What delicious food did you bring me today? "

Zijuan smiled and straightened Baoyu's wrinkled skirt, and said softly: "Second Master, I said I would let you see you tomorrow, so I didn't prepare anything, but Zijuan came with Miss Yun and Sister Baoqin. They all came to see the second master."

Zijuan stepped aside and Baoyu saw Xiangyun and Baoqin behind her. Baoyu immediately let go of Zijuan and rushed to Xiangyun's side, holding Xiangyun's hands and shouting happily: "Sister Yun, I finally see you!" It's your turn, you know, I miss you so much!"

Just now Xiangyun saw that Baoyu was very affectionate to Zijuan, and his heart was sour, but seeing that Baoyu was closer to him than before, the slight unhappiness disappeared, and he also took Baoyu's hands and said: "Love brother, Are you okay? I've been worried about you, but my uncle won't let me out, or I would have come to see you a long time ago. "

Baoyu frowned bitterly and said: "How could it be better? A while ago they beat me and forced me to do hard work. Later, it was Zijuan who helped. They treated me better. If they didn't beat me, they wouldn't let me do it." I've worked hard, but I can't eat or sleep here, it's so hard, Sister Yun, I want to go home."

Seeing that Baoyu had lost weight, Xiangyun said distressedly, "Brother love, you have to endure for a few more days, and I will definitely ask my uncle to rescue you." Baoyu saw Baoyu, frowned and asked, "Are you the elder sister's Baoqin?"

Baoqin saluted with a smile, and said softly: "Yes, the maidservant is Baoqin who serves your mother. The second master Bao has suffered." Baoyu immediately let go of Xiangyun, rushed to Baoqin, hugged her and cried loudly: "Baoqin, go tell big sister that I am suffering here, and ask her to rescue me quickly, I don't want to stay here for a day."

Since Baoqin entered the palace at the age of 12, she has never had such close contact with a man. Baoqin felt a big fire ignited in her head. She hurriedly pushed Baoyu away and said, "Don't worry, Second Master Bao, maid I must report back to the empress."

Baoyu's face was full of tears. He turned around and hugged Xiangyun again, crying mournfully, "Sister Yun, I'm so miserable!"

Xiangyun accompanied him and cried: "Brother love, you will be safe and sound. Listen to me, the empress is already pregnant. As long as she gives birth to Xiaolongzi, you will be the uncle of the country. Who will dare to embarrass the country at that time?" Uncle's."

While talking, a little father-in-law ran over in a panic, and he hurriedly shouted: "Miss Zi, hurry up, someone is here."

Zijuan was startled, hurriedly pulled Xiangyun and Baoqin and ran to the northwest.In a blink of an eye, he ran away without a trace.

Baoyu was still standing there in a daze, the tears on his face hadn't dried yet, the little eunuch hurriedly shouted: "Oh, my second master Bao, why don't you take off your clothes and wipe your face dirty to wash your clothes?" , you want to kill us?"

As soon as the little eunuch finished shouting, he heard a sharp voice shouted: "Okay, our family said that you are playing tricks, it's really good, His Royal Highness strictly ordered Jia Baoyu to serve hard labor, is this how you keep watch over him, if you want to turn the world upside down, Come, call the eunuch in charge of the Huanyi Bureau, our family wants to ask him if he still wants a head or not!"

The eunuch in charge who was shy when he was young ran over quickly, and when he saw the eunuch in the East Palace, he shrank his head and shouted in a low voice: "I pay my respects to Eunuch Chen."

Eunuch Chen snorted coldly and said, "Is this how you carry out His Royal Highness' orders?"

The eunuch in charge pulled Baoyu over, first slapped Baoyu a few times, then kicked Baoyu down, pointed at the little eunuch next to him and cursed: "You are all dead, I will be lazy if I don't look at you. He came to do hard labor, but you offer him up like your ancestor, and you’ve been blinded by lard? Why don’t you fight me!”

The eunuch in charge issued an order, and the two young eunuchs immediately ran to get the torture sticks, pushed Baoyu to the ground, and asked with low eyebrows, "Grandpa, how many blows?"

The eunuch in charge glared and said: "You can hit as many times as you want, just hit it."

Eunuch Chen raised his hand and shouted, "Wait a minute, come on, take off Jia Baoyu's trousers."

These eunuchs were all incomplete people. After hearing what Eunuch Chen said, everyone knew what it meant. A little eunuch ripped Baoyu's trousers open with a bang, revealing the little red coat inside.Eunuch Chen stretched out a finger to pick up the little silk gown, and said coldly: "It's really nice to wear, and there are still little gowns made of such a good material." With a strong hand, Eunuch Chen tore off the little red coat, and Baoyu's delicate white skin appeared before everyone's eyes. , Swallowed a mouthful of saliva, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is as precious as jade, and it does not live up to the name. Come and carry him into the house. Our family must take good care of this precious jade!" They thought it was Eunuch Chen who let him go, but those little eunuchs knew the inside story, so they carried Baoyu into the house and tied him firmly to the spring stool. A little eunuch whispered in Baoyu's ear: "You If you want to suffer less, you have to please Eunuch Chen more, and you will have a good life when he has fun."

Baoyu went in without knowing, and asked, "What do you mean?" The little eunuch shook his head and went out, bowing to Eunuch Chen and saying, "Everything is settled, please, Eunuch."

The eunuch in charge also laughed and said: "Eunuch Chen, you just play, but you have to save his life. If His Royal Highness refuses to let him, he will be killed."

Eunuch Chen rolled his eyes and said: "You don't need to tell me, why don't our family know, get out, don't ruin our family's good spirits."

The eunuch in charge shook his head, and he didn't dare to go far, he just led people to stand at a distance, this Eunuch Chen is famous, he was originally from the Department of Punishment, because he worshiped the eunuch in charge of the East Palace as his godfather, He was just transferred to the East Palace as an errand, and those court ladies and eunuchs who made mistakes fell into his hands, and life was simply worse than death.

"Ah..." A shrill scream came from the room, and the eunuch in charge shook his head and said, "Oh, you are such a useless son!"

The screams were mixed with excited roars, interweaving into a horrible and weird tune, which lasted for a full two minutes
