Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, just after Daiyu finished washing, she heard disorderly footsteps outside. Chunxian smiled and said, "It's never been so lively before, what's the matter?"

Daiyu was also a little curious, so she helped Xueyan out by the hand, and saw that some of the maids were busy running to Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and some were busy running to Jiamu's place, almost making a mess of porridge.Looking up, I saw Sanchun going to greet Jiamu, so I went to say hello together, so Tanchun said, "Sister Lin, do you know what happened?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "I just came out too, so I don't know." The two girls ran past, the four sisters were taken aback, Xichun's sharp eyes said: "Hey, don't you think that's Sheyue and Jinchuan? What are they doing in such a hurry, they don't even care about asking us to be safe. Could it be that something really big happened?"

When I entered Jia Mu's room, I saw Jin Chuan saying: "For some reason, my wife has a lot of small red bumps on her face today, which are very itchy, so I asked my slaves to come and complain to my ancestors. I can't come to my ancestors for a few days. Ancestors pay their respects."

Jia's mother was concerned: "I need to ask a doctor. How could this happen? It seems to be a symptom of eating something contradictory or catching something unclean like pollen and smoke. You go back and tell your wife to take good care of it. Wait. Come on, your body is the most important thing."

Seeing Sheyue's anxious face from the side, Jia Mu hurriedly said, wanting to speak but not daring: "Which room are you from, I don't remember."

Sheyue looked a little terrified, Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Why did the old lady forget, she is Sheyue, the girl you gave to Baoyu with Xiren at that time, she didn't come up very often, the ancestors actually don't remember." Mother Jia was startled. Seeing Sheyue's expression became more and more terrified, she stood up and said, "What's wrong with your appearance, but something happened to Baoyu? Tell me!"

Sheyue was so frightened that she plopped down on her knees and cried, "Back to the old lady, today Baoyu and sister Xiren got up with the pimple, which is the same as what sister Gang Jinchuan said about his wife's symptoms. Baoyu was frightened and shocked when she saw it." , itching all over my body, I couldn’t stop crying.”

Jia Mu shook her body and said anxiously: "Then you don't go to ask for a doctor, how do you take care of Baoyu, and let you treat Baoyu like this?"

Yuanyang hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, old ancestor, I think it's because she ate something bad, she's going to be fine, she's a little girl who was frightened and exaggerated. They must have sent someone to call for a doctor."

Musk Moon hurriedly nodded beside her and said, "I've invited you, it's time to come now."

Jia Mu hurriedly said, "Hurry up, help me there."

They didn't dare to answer, so they hurriedly helped Jia Mu over.Daiyu and Sanchun knew that it was inconvenient for a doctor to go there at this time, so they went to Tanchun's house to wait for news.When Jia Mu went to the door of Baoyu's room, she saw that Sister Feng had already got the news and rushed over. Seeing Jia Mu hurriedly helping her, she said, "Don't worry, old ancestor. Brother Bao is in good health. There are also children who eat bad food because of their greedy mouth. There will be nothing wrong with it." of."

When Jia's mother entered the room, she heard Baoyu's cry: "itch, what's the matter, how can I see people in the future?" Consolation, it's more lively than that vegetable market.Jia Mu was so angry that she poked the ground with her crutches and said, "Why hasn't the doctor come? Are you all wood? You haven't sent someone to urge you. I know you all see how much I hurt Baoyu. You are not angry. Now you are happy in your heart. Look at Baoyu." If something happens, who will I spare you?" All the women and girls in Baoyu's room were speechless, kneeling tremblingly.Some of the old women also seemed to run to the second gate and asked the servants to urge the doctor to go.

This room, when Jia's mother entered the room, she saw Xi Renmu sitting in a daze and crying, while Baoyu was making a fuss all over the bed.

Jia Mu took a closer look and saw that Baoyu's jade-like face was densely covered with small red bumps, which was very terrifying. It was not as bright as Qiuyue and as handsome as Pan An in the past.Jia's mother was so distressed that she hugged Baoyu hurriedly, tears streaming down unconsciously.Seeing Jia Mu coming in, Baoyu cried even more: "Old Ancestor, look at what's going on. If it can't be cured, I won't live."

Jia's mother hugged Baoyu tremblingly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, good boy. It's just a small wind disease. It will be fine in two days. We are still so beautiful, ah."

This is a report from the outside that the doctor Wang is here, and Mother Jia is in a hurry to invite her.Doctor Wang also came here often, so Mother Jia only hugged Baoyu.Sister Feng and the maids hurriedly circled behind Bisha's kitchen.Doctor Wang asked Jia Mu to give Baoyu a quick consultation, and got up and said, "Don't panic, old lady. It's okay. It's just a wind syndrome. Why is it difficult to diagnose, but don't worry, old lady." , take two doses of medicine to drive away the wind evil. Wansheng then prescribed some licorice juice and smeared it on the body, and it will be fine in a few days, but you must not scratch it with your hands, if it festers, it will leave scars." Jia The mother breathed a sigh of relief: "So please enshrine and open the prescription. If he is cured, I will prepare another thank you gift and ask him to personally carry it and kowtow. If it is delayed, I will send someone to demolish the lobby of the Tai Hospital." The imperial physician bowed and said, "Don't dare, it's all on Wan Sheng's body."

The doctor went out and was led to Mrs. Wang's room.Here Jia Mu saw that Sheyue was taking care of Xiren and said: "It is the responsibility of Xiren girl to take care of Baoyu poorly. I will not punish her because of your diligence and diligence. I just took the medicine according to the prescription and went first." Go home and raise it, and come back when you are done." He said with a dark face: "You all take care of Baoyu, don't let him grab it with your hands, and I will not spare you if there is any problem."

The girls quickly agreed.Mother Jia watched Baoyu drink the medicine before leaving in peace.Seeing the whole family jumping around, I don't know how many people clapped their hands in secret.

Here, Sheyue Qiuwen and others are busy helping Xiren pack her things, and ask Mother Song to send her out. Xiren is not willing, crying and saying to Baoyu: "Please tell the old lady not to let me go out. I will return like this." How can you meet people at home?"

Baoyu originally only took pity on pretty girls, he just had sex with Xiren yesterday, so naturally he got closer in his heart, but at this time Xiren's appearance is very terrifying, there is no trace of her cuteness, and he feels scared when he looks at it .Besides looking at Xiren, I couldn't help but think of my own appearance, and felt even more depressed, and said angrily: "What's the matter, I have to go out naturally when I'm sick, and the old lady won't care if I tell you."

Xiren couldn't help but cover her face and sob and cry. She lowered her head and only heard the unison, but her voice was still melodious and lingering. Yu said: "Okay, sister Xiren, I'm afraid it won't work after the old lady gave the order, but fortunately she will be back in a few days. We are not guarding together, so don't be sad."

Xiren nodded and went out with Song's mother, expecting Baoyu to look up at him, but seeing Baoyu lowered his head tightly, he couldn't help sighing and went out.I just hope to get well soon and come back, otherwise Qingwen Sheyue and others in the room are not spiritual teeth and claws, and it will be bad if they win over Baoyu during the time when they go out by themselves.

Let's say that the doctor Wang treated Mrs. Wang's illness, but it was just that kind of rhetoric. I couldn't help but mutter in my heart why the whole family was caught in the wind all day. It's so strange.While writing prescriptions outside, she saw a girl rushing in. Doctor Wang was so frightened that she froze her hands and quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at it.Jia Lian reprimanded, "Which room do you belong to? Why are you running around?"

That girl might as well see a man there for the first time, she blushed with shame and said: "This servant is Wen Xing from the concubine's room, and I have something to do with my wife."

Jia Lian heard that it belonged to Aunt Xue's house, so it's hard to talk about it, so she motioned her to go in quickly.Wen Xing entered the room, and Jin Chuan hurriedly led her to Mrs. Wang's bedroom. Mrs. Wang resisted the itch and asked, "What do you want?"

Wen Xing was taken aback, opened her mouth and closed it again, paused for a while before saying: "Our Miss Bao got up today with a lot of pimples on her face, just like my wife, our wife is very anxious, please help me Find a good doctor."

Mrs. Wang was startled, what's going on here, one or two are like this, maybe something happened.I just heard from Lian'er that Baoyu looked like this, and I almost passed out in such a hurry, but I couldn't move because I was so uncomfortable, otherwise I would have passed away long ago.Feeling disturbed for a while, he said: "The doctor Wang outside is fine, let Lian'er accompany you."

Wen Xing agreed and went out.

Jia Lian lamented his fate. He was caught out of bed early in the morning and walked around the world. Whoever provoked him.Indignantly, she came to Lixiangyuan together with the imperial doctor, and saw that there was even more confusion. Baochai was conceited about her appearance, and being disfigured was worse than death for her. Don't say that she looked uncomfortable, but if someone else said something that was not ridiculed She is not ashamed to die of words.So at this time, he lost his dignity and cried loudly in the room.Aunt Xue was anxious and in pain, as if her heart had been plucked away. Without her daughter, who could Pan'er count on? Thinking about seeing that she couldn't come up and passed away, Ying'er hurriedly stepped forward to beat her chest and rub her back .In the outer room, Xue Pan Xiangling was so anxious that she was running around on the ground like ants on a hot pot.

Baochai was relieved when she heard the doctor said that if she didn't catch it, there would be no scars. After seeing the doctor left, she said slowly to Aunt Xue: "Don't worry, mother. The doctor also said that there will be no traces. My daughter be patient." Just a few days."

Aunt Xue sighed: "Fortunately, fortunately. It's just strange. Today, your aunt and Baoyu Xiren are all talking about this thing. Could it be that you guys ate something that shouldn't be eaten yesterday?"

Baochai's eyelids twitched, and said, "Mom means they are all like this."

Aunt Xue held Baochai's hand in case she couldn't help scratching, and sighed: "That's not true. If the doctor came so quickly, I would just drop in."

Baochai raised her eyebrows and said in thought: "Impossible, I ate at our house yesterday, so it's impossible to eat the same thing as them. Could it be that I got pollen when I was looking at flowers in Huifang Garden yesterday." Then she shook her head. "It's not right, my aunt didn't go to see the flowers. Why do so many people who look at the flowers prefer me and Baoyu?"

Aunt Xue suddenly thought of something, shivered and said, "Don't bump into something unclean."

Xue Baochai sneered: "Mom believes this, but I don't believe it. Some of us have something to do. Mom, could it be that someone harmed us?"

Aunt Xue shook her head and said, "Impossible. Didn't the doctor say it was wind disease?"

Baochai thought for a while, then said coldly: "The only one who has a quarrel with us is Miss Lin. Yesterday, Miss Lin had conflicts with her aunt, me, and Baoyu. What a coincidence that something happened to us today. It must be her." poison."

Aunt Xue sighed: "My son, I'm afraid it's impossible, she's a weak woman, how can she do this?" Xue Baochai lowered her face, raised her eyebrows, and shouted in a shrill voice: "Why is it impossible, she is just a fox My son, I used to prevent me from entering the palace, and then seduced Baoyu every day, ridiculed me openly and secretly against me everywhere, what's so strange about being a demon, otherwise, why did the Beijing Palace and her elusive brother treat her like that? Well, even Prince Zhongshun can hook up. Hmph, she did it because she was jealous that I was more beautiful than her and more popular than her." Aunt Xue saw that Baochai's face was distorted, her eyes were like blades, and she took advantage of the pimples on her face. , It was like a devil, and being a real mother couldn't help being startled, she hurriedly held back her nausea and hugged Baochai and said, "Okay, my son, it's her, let's find a way to poison her too tomorrow." Xue Baochai nodded repeatedly.Ying'er was terrified beside her, not understanding why the girl had become more and more frightening in recent years.

Daiyu and Sanchun were sitting and chatting in the room, and after a while Tanchun's servant servant ran in panting to tell the story.The sisters were shocked, and they all said: "This is also strange, how could such a coincidence happen."

Daiyu was also a little strange, she wondered if it was Xueyan and the others who did it, looked at Xueyan and the others quietly, seeing their surprised looks did not seem to be fake, presumably it was not, could it be that they really committed too many crimes and received retribution.In particular, Baochai's ruined appearance at such a young age was a great blow, and he felt a little sighed in his heart, if it is true that the heavens are ringing the alarm bell, it is not sure whether it will be useful or not.Xue Baochai is very scheming now, although she hasn't done harm to anyone yet, she will definitely do things that hurt nature and reason in the long run, if she can realize it at this time, it will be good luck.She smiled to herself, what does this have to do with her, I am afraid that only Xichun is the one who really treats her sincerely in this mansion, and Sister Feng also has sincerity, but after all, she is the housekeeper, and sometimes it is difficult to give her true feelings, so she has to be indifferent, but her heart is Really good to myself.Yingchun ignores everything and only seeks to protect himself, but Tanchun goes further and further away, and he can no longer find the shadow of his childhood.

Tanchun said anxiously, "Let's go and see my wife and sister Baoyubao."

Xichun said: "Didn't we just add to the chaos in the past? Those places were boiled with medicine and burned. They are not ordinary diseases. After going to see them, they may feel bad on their faces and feel that they have lost their face. It may be so. Good intentions turn bad."

Daiyu didn't want to go at all, but after hearing this, she said, "it's exactly what you say, especially Baoyu and sister Bao's appearance is the most important thing. If you go, it won't embarrass them."

Yingchun didn't have an opinion at all, but she knew that Daiyu was careful, so she agreed, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go later."

But Tanchun shook his head and said: "We went to see them as a matter of courtesy, why would they be strange, especially my wife is an elder, so we have to go. According to the rules of etiquette, she is my mother, and I should also serve soup and medicine in person. Don't you Go, I'll go." He said and led the servants Cuimo and the two hurried away.

Xichun stared at Tanchun's figure walking away, and said with a sneer, "Fortunately, she has the face to say that even her own mother is left aside, but she is talking about filial piety here. No matter how bad Aunt Zhao was, she was pregnant and gave birth to her in October, and I miss her so much in my heart, my son doesn't think my mother is ugly, she is really a good person, she only recognizes power but not others."

Yingchun was a little sad, she was afraid that she was thinking of her own mother who died in childbirth because she gave birth to her. She had never even seen her mother's face. Mother-in-law, is it all fate?

Daiyu let out a long sigh, and said in a despondent tone, "How many people have lost their consciences in order to fight for the illusory honor status, and the third younger sister has now entered this class. Does it mean that to gain respect, one must sacrifice one's own mother? The third younger sister is leaving." I walked the narrowest and most impossible road. I really don't know when I will wake up."

Xichun said coldly: "Wake up? I think it's impossible, but it's a pity for the talent and ambition of the third sister."

There was a hint of understanding and compassion in Daiyu's eyes: "Fourth sister, she will wake up one day, because one day she will find that his wife will not sincerely accept her for her good. But I'm afraid it will be too late for her to wake up at that time." gone."

Xichun said silently for a while: "Sister Lin is right, but it's useless to regret it at that time. A broken heart will be repaired and there will be cracks. Besides, who knows what her family will be like when she regrets it."

The three of them were talking and sighing, but they saw Tanchun coming back downcast, with unwillingness and embarrassment on his face, Xichun wanted to ask, but Daiyu quickly stopped her with her eyes, it seems that Tanchun must have hit a wall, but I don't know this Can you figure it out this time.

The waiter said: "Girl, drink some tea, it's so cold outside, you'll feel cold from running."

Tanchun hummed without saying a word, went straight into the room and sat on the chair blankly, ignoring Daiyu and the others.The look of light and dark intertwined, suddenly blue and then white, it is unpredictable.

"Is Third Sister there?" A boy's voice came in from outside. "Master Huan is here." The girl outside said, but did not lift the curtain.In a blink of an eye, Jia Huan ran in sweating, and Xichun waited to give up his seat.

Tan Chun suddenly woke up, his eyes turned to Jia Huan, his expression was quite cold, and he said: "What are you doing here in the cold weather, you are in a hurry, and you don't have the poise of a young master."

Jia Huan's expression darkened, he bit his lip, a flash of spark flashed in his eyes, and then went out instantly, he said in a low voice, "I just heard that I have called for a doctor today, my aunt has been ill for several days, I beg my third sister to go and ask for help." My wife asked the doctor to show it to my aunt by the way."

Tanchun's expression was startled, and then he became fierce again, his handsome eyebrows stood upright, and the corners of his eyes were filled with frost: "My aunt is sick, why don't you just keep watch and run around. Why should I ask a doctor for a servant. The wife just scolded me I didn't believe that I was the ghost behind your back, but my aunt happened to be ill, and my wife just got sick, and she was also sick. I think it's either slipping off and not wanting to serve my wife, or there are ghosts in my heart. If you really want to see a doctor, why are you so obsessed? After driving away all the doctors, I ran to ask for a doctor. Hmph, you have done unscrupulous things and you have exhausted me."

Jia Huan raised his thick eyebrows, stared at Tanchun coldly with his head raised, his eyes were full of hatred, and said coldly: "Why did I come so late? I am the only one guarding my aunt. How can I know that the doctor is here? If sister Caiyun hadn't taken the time to tell me that I was still foolishly guarding my aunt. I heard that the doctor went to Lixiangyuan again, so he would definitely not be able to leave. What's the point of the third sister helping the gang, anyway, she is your mother. Our family has eight poles. The relatives who can’t be beaten are all in charge, why the people in Jia’s family don’t care. That’s all, the third sister is suspicious that the aunt is here, so you should go and see for yourself, is your mother pretending to be sick?”

Tanchun was heartbroken when he heard this, and blushed and sneered, "I only have my wife as a mother. When will my aunt become my mother? This is also the rule of everyone. I don't care if you don't follow the rules, but I'm not that rude. people."

After all, Jia Huan was young and irritable, unable to say a word when Tan Chun was angry, his whole body was trembling, his face was flushed from holding back, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Daiyu and the three looked at each other coldly and became more and more cold-hearted. They thought that Tanchun would wake up when they hit a wall this time, but unexpectedly it got worse.Daiyu seldom saw Jia Huan every time she came, after all, the old lady rarely thought of letting him come up, but Daiyu's gifts were always the same as Baoyu Jialan's.Only now did I really see Jia Huan at close range, and saw his Chinese face, with thick eyebrows and wide eyes, and his appearance was not bad, very similar to Jia Zheng.It's just that there is an unruly and unruly wildness in his body. I think it's because of his lack of education and seldom studying, so he looks wild when he looks at people. It's no wonder that he is called wretched when he stands with the handsome Baoyu.

Daiyu had no interest in taking care of the Jia family's messy affairs, but when she saw Tanchun treat her mother like this, she suddenly felt uneasy and anxious, and raised her eyebrows and said coldly: "Third sister really knows the rules, but I don't know how to deal with it." Who is the one who is pregnant for ten months? Does the third sister think that she will be looked up to by others?"

Xichun smiled coldly at the side, raised his face and said to Tanchun with a smile, "Why didn't I know that there is a rule of only recognizing the aunt and not the aunt."

Tanchun's face turned purple, and he wriggled his fingers for a long time before he said stiffly: "Could it be that my master is really asked to pull the slaves, I have never seen elder sister Lin or younger sister do this before."

Daiyu Xichun looked at each other, she was very disappointed, Tanchun was on the edge of her own horn.

Jia Huan saw that Tanchun turned his head away with a cold face and stopped talking, and suddenly knelt down and said, "Miss Lin, fourth sister, please find a way to help my aunt. My aunt has been coughing and having a fever for several days, and she is still supporting and serving my wife every day. I really can't move."

Tanchun got up and frowned, "What are you doing, how decent are you? Sister Lin is a guest and you are so ignorant to force others to make things difficult for you. Hurry up and get out."

Xichun sighed, she had always hated Aunt Zhao's vulgarity and shallowness, although she knew it was a fight between Tanchun and Jia Huan, she still didn't like it.Just out of anger towards Tanchun, now seeing Jia Huan like this is pitiful, but the doctor Wang has left and he can't invite a doctor, so he can't help but feel embarrassed.

Seeing Tanchun like this, Daiyu felt more and more depressed. Remembering that Chunxian had recently learned some medical skills from Yuehua, she said, "Sister Chunxian, go and help me."

Chunxian frowned, seeing the anger in her girl's eyes, knowing that she was out of righteous indignation, she sighed in her heart: It's rare that the girl didn't lose her kind heart, so that's good.So he followed Jia Huan to see Aunt Zhao.

Xichun enviously said: "Chunxian knows medicine?" Daiyu smiled and said, "I haven't learned it for a long time. I hope it will be useful. I can only think of this way. You and your second sister can go to my room. I have a good thing." Keep it for you."

Xichun smiled and said, "Okay, what a good thing, it's so mysterious, why didn't you give it to me yesterday." Yingchun looked at Tanchun, sighed, and nodded.

Seeing Daiyu Xichun Yingchun walking away, Tanchun ignored himself, bitter in his heart: Elder sister Lin and the fourth younger sister must look down on me, I'm afraid even the second elder sister would also look down on me.But that's not the case, those slaves will always talk about my identity, and my wife will never like me. I was born in such a family. If I don't plan for myself, I don't even know how to die in the future. I have my ambitions, really. His unwillingness to be buried deep because of his birth.

The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became, and she couldn't help crying on the table.The servant beside him sighed slightly, and comforted him softly with distress.At that time, the room was empty, and the late autumn sun shone coldly into the room, the light was clear and majestic, and the soft crying made the room even colder and paler.
