Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

"Isn't it just riding a bull? As for being silly and happy?" On the return carriage, Master Xi couldn't help poking the dimple on the little guy's face, "After all, he's still a kid who hasn't grown up. It's so wild when you get up, if I didn't call you today, wouldn't you plan to go back to the city?"

"En, it's fun!" Because she found what she wanted, Jia Xiaohuan was smiling all the way, and she didn't get angry when someone poked her dimple.However, he has no intention of staying in the farm for a long time, and he is eager to return to Rongguo Mansion quickly to let his plan begin.

Grand Master Xi thought it was funny, so he even put aside the bit of resentment and resentment in his heart, and simply chatted with the little guy about the farm.When he was Jia Huan's age, he was often taken around by his grandparents.The time at that time was so beautiful... He didn't dare to recall it easily.

Due to the cost of the journey, when the uncle and nephew returned to Rongguo Mansion, it was already mid-afternoon on the tenth day of September.Although she was not at the residence these two days, Jia Xiaohuan could probably guess that her mother, Aunt Zhao, might suffer some punishment.Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the yard, he heard from little auspicious son that his mother was fined to kneel yesterday, and her knees hurt a little too long, and she might not be able to get out of bed for two days.

Jia Xiaohuan couldn't help but feel tense when she heard the words, and quickened her pace towards Aunt Zhao's bed.Speaking of it, it was because he was self-willed the day before yesterday that he caused his mother to suffer this innocent disaster, and was caught by that woman of the Wang family for a reason, and bullied her mother well.When she came to Aunt Zhao's door, Jia Xiaohuan paused and took a deep breath before stepping in.

Mother, it's only this time, in the future, my son will never let that woman domineeringly in front of you.

"You homeless wild boy, you still know how to come back." Aunt Zhao was lying on the bed, groaning, as if she forgot the pain when she saw her son, she stretched out her arms to hug him, and asked secretly: " Tell me quickly, where did you go with the old man, are you hungry or tired, did you get any good things? Really, I don’t know where you fell for the old man, there are so many men in this house , he has two sons of his own, but he took you to Taqiu."

Seeing her like this, Jia Xiaohuan kept silent about what she had suffered, and just asked him about things, her nose was sore and her eyes were red.This made him quickly lower his head, buried his face in Aunt Zhao's arms, and said in a muffled voice how he had played these two days and how many novel things he had seen.

However, she couldn't continue talking, Jia Xiaohuan raised her red eyes, hugged Aunt Zhao and said in a low voice: "Mother, I will never let you suffer again, never again. gone."

The son is so caring and filial, Aunt Zhao has never been subjected to this, and immediately shed tears.But she felt that she was ashamed, so she wiped her face vigorously, pinched her son's face, and cursed maliciously on purpose: "You shameless seed, why is my mother suffering all this because of you? The old lady is favored by the master, she is just jealous, and it has nothing to do with you..."

After returning from the farm to Rongguo Mansion, life still has to be like this.Because the goal has been achieved, Jia Xiaohuan couldn't help but get sick again, and stopped going to greet Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang every day.It's fine to stay like this for three or two days, but after a little longer, Mrs. Wang quit.She was waiting to find Jia Huan, she told him to hide before the Double Ninth Festival last time.Why, are you going to hide for a lifetime?

On this day, Mrs. Wang asked Aunt Zhao to kneel down to pick up Buddha beans, and called Zhou Rui's family over, and said: "Go, ask a doctor to go and see Brother Huan, and you will get sick twice in three days." It would be great if you don't come, and you have to get a doctor to give you a good diagnosis and treatment." If you dare to pretend to be sick, you will suffer from that kind of evil.

With a promise from Zhou Rui's family, he glanced sideways at Aunt Zhao, seeing that she was really stiff, and showed disdain on her face.It doesn't matter if you climb into the master's bed, it's not even as good as her companion.Hmph, I don't even look at what kind of virtue I have, I just want to be a master, isn't it even worse than a slave now?If it was her back then...

Mrs. Wang waited for Zhou Rui's family to bring him over, but she didn't expect this person to come back very quickly, and came back screaming, which made Mrs. Wang's complexion ugly.As soon as Zhou Rui's family entered the room, they scolded in a cold voice: "How decent is it to shout!"

"Madam, ma'am, it's not good, it's not good, something happened..." Zhou Rui's family didn't care about their master's face. As soon as they entered the door, they rushed to Mrs. Wang, their face turned pale in panic, and they said He said incoherently: "Smallpox, smallpox... madam... smallpox..."

With a "snap", Mrs. Wang dropped the teacup she was holding, and pointed at Zhou Rui's family with wide eyes, "What are you talking about? Smallpox, what's going on?" How did she get smallpox? What nonsense.

However, Mrs. Wang immediately thought of Jia Huan again, could it be that evil seed got smallpox?

Zhou Rui's family also slowed down a bit at this time, kneeling in front of Mrs. Wang with a limp knee, and said in a trembling voice: "Mrs. Hui, it's smallpox. It's the little magpie next to Aunt Zhao. It's her who got smallpox. Just now I asked the doctor to see it." Well, the doctor said that Xiao Que had a rash on his face, he didn’t dare to diagnose and treat it, and he had already left... Oh yes, before he left, he said that the disease spread quickly, and he had to isolate people immediately.”

"It's really smallpox?!" Mrs. Wang's face changed drastically when she heard that, and the finger that was playing with the prayer beads suddenly twisted, which made her cry out in pain.But the pain also made her wake up, and she suddenly turned her eyes to Aunt Zhao who was stunned aside.Mrs. Wang couldn't hold on any longer, she screamed in a flustered expression: "Quickly, pull this bitch out quickly and lock him into their yard, no one is allowed to come out again."

Mrs. Wang knew exactly what smallpox was.Anyone who contracted the disease would have a narrow escape from death, and even those who could get over it would have a lot of pockmarks on their faces.What's even more hateful is that the disease is too contagious, and if you don't pay attention, it will affect the whole city, let alone their small mansion.

But now, Aunt Zhao's personal servant girl has smallpox; but she asks Aunt Zhao to set the rules all day long.Her God, Lord Buddha and Bodhisattva—how did this happen!If Aunt Zhao is also infected with smallpox and spread it to herself, then, then...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, she couldn't breathe.But she persevered, at such an urgent time, it's not her turn to be in a daze and don't know anything.While ordering people to drag Aunt Zhao away, Mrs. Wang ordered people to take the post from Rongguo Mansion to invite the imperial physician.At this time, she still had to ask the imperial physician to take a look, so that she could feel relieved.

Watching Zhou Rui's family leave in a panic, Jia Xiaohuan stretched and sat up on the bed.When he went to the farm that day, he deliberately picked the village with a lot of livestock, just for the ones with acne on the cows.It can be regarded as his good luck, he really ran into a cow that had just given birth to a calf, and he had those two rolls of veils stained with cowpox slurry on hand.

……

That's right, Jia Xiaohuan deliberately ran into her uncle Jia She before, and took advantage of the Double Ninth Festival to go to the farm where the livestock were raised, because of the cowpox.

Back then, he was inoculated with cowpox by his master, so he knew that if a person contracted this disease, the onset would be very similar to smallpox, and it would be easy to confuse it.It's just that the symptoms of cowpox are much lighter, and there is no danger of life. Instead, it can be a blessing in disguise, and it will never be infested by smallpox and other evil diseases.

After finding cowpox in the farm, he planted it on the servant girl Xiao Que when he came back, in order to escape from Rongguo Mansion.Based on his understanding of Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others, he knew that someone close to Jia Huan was infected with smallpox, so he would mercilessly drive them all to some corner of the village, so as not to bring disaster to the entire Rongguo Mansion. .

The little magpie was just the beginning, soon my mother, Aunt Zhao, would also fall ill, and then... Hehe, I don't know how frightened Mrs. Wang should be.After a while, Zhou Rui's family had probably reported the smallpox incident, and his mother should have been sent back.

Things did not go as Jia Xiaohuan expected, as soon as he got off the bed, he heard the noise outside the courtyard.Then, in the blink of an eye, Aunt Zhao was already pushed into the courtyard by two women.Immediately afterwards, the two women seemed to be stained with some filth, shook their hands in disgust, and slammed the courtyard door shut.Jia Xiaohuan was standing at the door of the room, and she could still hear the sound of iron chains locking the door.

Aunt Zhao's complexion was already pale, and she couldn't care about the pain of being pushed down, she staggered up and rushed to her son in two or three steps, hugging him tightly.But immediately, as if he remembered something, he pulled his son away a little bit, took off his collar and stroked his sleeves for a better inspection.When he didn't see the acne on his son's body, he seemed to be relieved, and his half-soft body sat on the ground, hugging his son tightly and crying bitterly.

"Wuwu...my son...thank you, Buddha and Bodhisattva, for not causing my son to suffer from that evil disease..." Xiao Que's unlucky prostitute was also serving Huan'er, and now she has been found out Smallpox, this is how Aunt Zhao is not afraid.I'm afraid that the little hooves will not be counted as unlucky, but they will also implicate their mother and son.Fortunately, it's okay to look at her son now, which made her feel a little relieved.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? I'm not all right, and the doctor said it's all right." Jia Xiaohuan's eyes were red from his mother's crying, and a pair of small hands patted Aunt Zhao's back.He knew that it was his mother who was worried about him, and he wanted to tell the truth, but he was afraid that she would not be able to hide her words, so he had no choice but to keep it a secret for the time being, and only waited for the day when he left Rongguo Mansion.

Aunt Zhao was crying, but for some reason, she suddenly saw the little auspicious boy standing at the door of the ear room, she immediately stopped her runny nose and tears, and without wiping it off with a handkerchief, she hurriedly asked: "You What are you doing standing there...is Xiao Que still in that room?" At the end of the question, Aunt Zhao stood up abruptly, her eyes almost popping out.

God damn it!Didn't the little magpie move away?She has smallpox!

Besides... besides, her Huan'er is still in this yard, and her Huan'er is also the young master of this mansion!

How can this be done, how can this be done!
