Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Xichun played happily all night, and it was rare to stay in bed for a while the next morning. After breakfast, she was going to meet Yingchun with the things she bought last night, but before she went out, Jia Jing sent someone to call her past.

As soon as Xichun entered the room, she saw a row of clay figurines on the table, "Who sent these? There are so many?"

Jia Jing sighed, "It was sent by Baoyu."

Jia Baoyu?

Xichun blinked suspiciously, looked carefully at the clay figurines, and found that many clay figurines looked familiar, and it took a while to realize that they were the clay figurines of the Jia family.

Xichun picked up her clay figurine, "What about others? Why haven't I seen others?"

Jia Jing looked at those clay figurines with complicated eyes, "Last night he asked the concierge to send in a letter. It was Jia Zheng's handwritten letter, saying that it was Baoyu's begging to help the aunt next to him to be the main house. Agreed, let me find a day to write it down in the genealogy."

Xichun was startled, "Did he ask for it himself? Why is he so confused? The second wife doesn't care? What about the old lady? Do they know these things?"

"Yesterday, the old lady went to Jia Zheng's house for the festival, and ended up having a big fight with Jia Zheng and the Wang family. She left without any food, and fell ill after returning." Jia Jing said, "The Wang family is also ill. I heard that now Not awake yet."

Xichun began to wonder if Jia Zheng forced Jia Baoyu to do this.

Jia Jing said again: "But these are not the most important."

"The most important thing right now is to find Jia Baoyu."

Xichun was stunned speechless.

Jia Baoyu is missing? !

Xichun immediately asked: "When did you disappear? Did you send someone to look for it? Could it be that you stumbled while playing there and didn't have time to inform your family?"

Jia Jing shook his head, "It would be great if this is the case."

When Jia Jing received the letter last night, he didn't agree with Jia Baoyu's support of Xiren as the main house. He wanted to call him to ask him, but he heard that Jia Baoyu left after delivering the letter, with Xiren beside him. , Seeing as if he was going to the Lantern Festival, Jia Jing thought about looking for Jia Baoyu again today, who knew that the little boss who made clay figurines brought a lot of clay figurines to deliver goods to the door at dawn.

Jia Jing felt strange, so he sent someone to look for Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu was not there, but Xiren cried and said that Jia Baoyu was gone.

At first, like Xichun, the boy thought that Jia Baoyu was going somewhere to play and forgot the time, but Xiren insisted that Jia Baoyu was missing, and he was not kidnapped, but left by himself.

When the boy heard this, he knew that something had happened, so he came back and told Jia Jing. Jia Jing sent someone to ask Jia Amnesty, and Jia Amnesty was shocked when he found out.

Xiren's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and there were still traces of Lantern Festival on his clothes. He was trembling unconsciously, and he was still holding a broken lantern in his hand.

Hearing Jia Amnesty's question, Xiren didn't hide anything, and described all the abnormalities of Jia Baoyu yesterday in detail.

When he heard that Jia Baoyu started to go wrong after he heard the quarrel between Jia Mu and others, Jia Amnesty understood in his heart that Jia Baoyu also heard those words.

Jia She said: "Baoyu probably went out to relax because he was in a bad mood, and he will be back in a few days."

Xiren cried and shook his head, and told about Baoyu's fondness for going to temples, Taoist temples and other places during this period, and also said that Li Wan and Jia Lan had disappeared, and people said that they packed up their things and left in a carriage yesterday afternoon.

Jia Amnesty frowned, and asked Xiren to go back and ask the people in the mansion to see if anyone knew anything, and also asked about the temples and Taoist temples that Baoyu liked to visit on weekdays. Jia Zheng and the others went to Wang's house to inform them and asked them to help find them too.

Xiren bit his lips, "Uncle, I went back to the house before and told me that my mother is sick and groggy now, but my father doesn't care about these things."

Jia Amnesty was furious at first, he knew that his brother was not a good one, but he never thought that he would be able to do this.

Jia Amnesty took a deep breath, "Okay, I see, you go back and find out the temples and Taoist temples that Baoyu loves to go to."

The attacker should be, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Jia Amnesty.

"From what you called me just now, are you determined to wait for Baoyu?"

Xiren lowered his eyes and looked at his clenched hand, "Yes, I hope my uncle will do it."

Jia She nodded, "You go."

The Jia family and the Wang family searched for someone together, and soon found the temple in the suburbs of Beijing. Unfortunately, it was a step too late. Baoyu's changed clothes and shaved hair were still there, but the person disappeared.

I heard from the surrounding villagers that they saw the old monk taking a young monk away early in the morning. After describing the young monk's face, he knew that it must be Jia Baoyu.

I asked the villagers if they knew where the old monk and the others were going. The villagers all said they didn't know, so they had to come back and report. Nowhere has a monk like Jia Baoyu appeared.

Xiren passed out crying while hugging Jia Baoyu's clothes and hair, and the rest of the people were also full of sighs.

Yingchun asked every day if there was any news about Jia Baoyu, at first she was angry at why Jia Baoyu acted so impulsively, but after so many days there was no news about Jia Baoyu, she began to worry, "If you want to become a monk, that's all. It's not that there are no good temples in this capital, why bother to suffer that, run to a small temple without saying a word, and wander around without a trace, why don't you think about us who are worried about him."

Yingchun became more and more annoyed, "I don't know if he was cheated. In such a short time, he even prepared the disk."

Xichun's heart was also full of complexities, "Second elder brother prepared the dish in advance, which means that he has already planned it, and I think it is because he thought of us that he went to the small temple to become a monk and avoided us."

Yingchun said: "What are you doing to avoid us? Will we still eat him?"

Xichun sighed, "At the end of the day, the second brother feels that the reality is too cruel, and he is unable to change or face it. In the end, only by doing this can he feel better."

"A manly man, don't you even have such courage?!"

Yingchun's chest rose and fell, "He escaped, what about the old lady? What about the second wife? And Xiren, why doesn't he think about them?"

Tanchun poured a cup of tea for Yingchun to drink, "Don't be angry, the second elder brother has left, so what's the use of talking about it, and I see that the second wife and the old lady don't pay much attention to this matter."

Xichun was taken aback, and thought carefully about what Jia Mu and Wang had done these days, and found that it was true that although they were both recovering from their illnesses, they hadn't asked much about Jia Baoyu's affairs, let alone urged them.

Tanchun looked at the clay figurines on the table with complicated eyes, "I don't think the second elder brother will come back, presumably the old lady and the others are aware of this."

Yingchun followed Tanchun's eyes and looked at the clay figurines.

These clay figurines can recognize who is who, but there are some differences from real people, such as clothes, hair, and body shape. At first, they thought it was because the boss who made the clay figurines did not do a good job. Later, after looking at it for a long time, Tanchun became red-eyed. , "This is done according to our second brother's eyes."

Tanchun picked up a clay figurine and said to them, "This is me. When I was young, I liked this dress with begonia flowers. It was my favorite to wear in the past. Then I was reprimanded by the second wife so I didn't wear it. Later, I grew up and wore it." I can’t put it down anymore, but I’ve always been reluctant to throw it away.”

When Tanchun said this, Yingchun also found out that her clay figurine was holding a book in her hand, and the title of the book was exactly the one she had borrowed from Jia Baoyu before.

The three looked over one by one, and finally fell silent.

Yingchun sighed, "I just feel sorry for Xiren, I heard that I fainted several times from crying."

Xiren was officially recorded as Jia Baoyu's official wife. Now that Jia Baoyu has become a monk, Xiren is the only one guarding her alone.

"She's not pitiful." Xichun said, "What she is today is her own fault."

Thinking of Qingwen's death, Xichun couldn't help but feel disgusted, "Becoming the second brother's wife is her wish for many years. She has worked so hard to plan until this day, how can she give up? Don't forget , whether it is the second brother or the father, they only remember her as the second brother's official wife after asking her again and again."

"Besides, the second elder brother is right for her. He specially gave her such an identity. As long as she doesn't mess around in the future, she will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

To be honest, if Xiren really had a deep affection for Jia Baoyu and only hoped for Jia Baoyu's well-being, then she would not be this concubine, let alone the main wife, and now she just wants to take advantage of Jia Baoyu's absence. Forget it, after all, if Jia Baoyu came back, the Jia family would definitely not let her be Jia Baoyu's official wife.

Jia Jing and the others couldn't see Xiren's careful thoughts. Xiren thought well, but he never thought about what would happen if Jia Baoyu didn't come back, or what would happen if Jia Zhengwang and the others divorced her as elders. It's just because of Jia Baoyu's sake that he doesn't bother to pay attention to her.

Hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help but frowned, "Fortunately, she has planned so hard for so long, but in the end she got such a result, and I don't know what to say about her. It's okay if she lives peacefully, but Look at her like this..."

Seeing that the hope of Jia Baoyu's return is slim, Xiren actually proposed to go to Jia Baoyu. Seeing that Jia's family disagreed, he wanted to sneak away, and even asked the family for help. Who knew that the Hua family would take the initiative to confess her. The things were locked up before they were packed, and the Hua family got a benefit and left the Jia family.

When some servants heard about this, they thought that the Hua family was cruel and that Hua Xiren was infatuated with Jia Baoyu, but those who knew Xiren were happy to see her joke.

Relying on being favored in front of Jia Baoyu, Xiren often reprimanded other maids and servants, and advised Jia Baoyu every day, acting like a housewife. I don't know how many people are waiting to see her jokes , she kept saying that she was going to find Jia Baoyu, but who knew if she would come back?

Xichun comforted her and said: "The road is walked by herself, if she can't make it by herself to walk that dead end, what can we do?"

Tanchun sighed and said no more.
