Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

On the second day, Mrs. Wang, Baoyu and Xue Baochai's place became more and more lively. After one night, the pimples on their bodies not only did not disappear, but increased, and began to fester.What's more terrible is that yesterday's itch was unbearable, but today the itching from the heart is really unbearable, no matter how much I can bear it, I can't help but scratch it with my hands, and it makes my whole body and face bloody.The girl and the woman had no choice but to tie their hands with a rope, the three of them were itching to death, they couldn't help rolling and rubbing against the bed, making the bed full of pickled and thick blood, the girls who were close to them were obviously very depressed.

Everyone was really anxious. Mother Jia hurriedly invited Wang Taiyi to come again. Wang Taiyi took a pulse and sighed: "It's indeed a wind syndrome, but it's too serious. I'm afraid it will take ten and a half months to heal, and it has been scratched." Yes, even if it heals, there will be scars."

Jia Mu was so angry that she said bitterly: "Wang Gongfeng is also here often. Why did he misdiagnose this time? How can they see people in the future after making it like this. Pity my Baoyu."

Doctor Wang said with a wry smile: "Wansheng is ashamed, but this pathogen can be big or small. Wansheng will prescribe some other medicine. In addition, I am prescribing some saprophytic ointment. I will use it after the pimple subsides, although it can't completely remove the scar. Yes, but it can be lightened."

After hearing this, Jia's mother had no choice but to agree, and after Wang Taiyi left, she invited several doctors to come. Unfortunately, she said the same thing, so Jia's mother gave up her mind and dared not tell Baoyu and others.

In the afternoon, Sanchun and Sister Feng were entertaining Jiamu, while Daiyu sat down thinking about how to say goodbye to Jiamu.At this time, the girl outside came in and said, "Old lady, Young Master Lin said outside that he wanted to pick up Miss Lin's house."

Jia's mother was listening to Sister Feng's jokes, and she was startled when she heard this, and said, "Yu'er has only lived for less than three days, why did you go back, please invite Fei'er in, let me ask, he is also our close relative, and you sisters don't have to avoid it." .”

The girl agreed and went out.Mother Jia looked at Daiyu and saw that Daiyu lowered her head with no expression on her face. She sighed, "Could it be that your brother is afraid that you will be wronged in our house?"

Daiyu stood up and said, "Grandmother is overwhelmed, maybe there is something wrong at home."

Lin Yifei strode in, greeted everyone, and said, "Grandmother summoned Yifei for something."

Seeing that Lin Yifei didn't have any superfluous expressions on her face, Jia's mother relaxed, and said, "Why is it that Fei'er has only lived here for two days and is going back with your sister? Is there something difficult about the family? We don't know if you haven't come for so long. I'm looking forward to it, and now I'm going back after only a few days, maybe Fei'er thinks that my grandmother can't do something and wronged Yu'er."

Lin Yifei smiled lightly and said: "Nothing, there is nothing at home. It's just that grandma's house is so busy these days, how can I have extra energy to accompany us. Even if there is, we can't bear to make trouble for grandma. Go back and come back when you are free."

Mother Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You guys are overthinking too. This is your home, so why should you be polite? If it's just for this, you don't have to worry about it. It's rare that your sister relieved me so much. I have only one daughter, Min'er, looking at Yu'er is like seeing her daughter in front of me, and all the worries are gone."

Daiyu raised her brows lightly, with a touch of sadness lingering in her heart, now that grandma likes to talk about her mother more and more, is she afraid that she will no longer recognize her parents because they are both lost?After a moment of silence, Yingying said: "Grandmother can't be here when she mentions mother Yu'er. If mother sees Yu'er causing trouble for grandmother like this, she will definitely be angry."

Mother Jia's eyes changed, and she looked at Daiyu quickly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. It was the first time she had heard Daiyu talk about Min'er, but there seemed to be some difference in what she said.Daiyu met Jiamu's gaze, Qingling Jianshui's eyes were deep and quiet, but Jiamu was a little confused.

Jia Mu was silent for a while, unwilling to let Daiyu go back, and was not sure how to keep Daiyu, when someone outside said, "Miss Yun is here." Jia Mu was overjoyed, and said, "Let Yun girl in quickly." "I haven't seen you little sisters for more than two years. It's a good time to see you. Why don't you stay for a few more days and get together with your little sisters."

Daiyu and Lin Yifei were noncommittal.But I saw Xiangyun running in wrapped in Qinghan outside.A pomegranate red dress is like a jumping flame, dazzling and bright.She looked up and saw Lin Yifei sitting on a chair, her face blushed, she hurriedly lowered her head and walked slowly to Jiamu's side and shouted: "Hello, old ancestor."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Look at you girl, you are sweating in a panic. Why did your aunt let you out to play?" Then pointing to Daiyu, she said, "Your sister Lin is here, so I'm not afraid of your sister's jokes." you."

Xiangyun just didn't dare to look at the people in the room again, and now he heard Jia Mu saying that he hurriedly looked to the left, and saw Daiyu sitting on the first chair, and saw that she had grown a lot taller than two years ago, and she was even more slim, Fresh and elegant, with a sore heart, she tilted her head and smiled: "Sister Lin, why would she laugh at me? Could it be that Sister Lin is still as stingy and arrogant as she was when she was a child?"

Daiyu smiled lightly, pursed her lips and said, "Look at what Sister Yun said, how can I laugh at you. But I don't know how I was stingy and proud when I was young. Could it be that everyone who didn't give you the bracelet is stingy, so I am convinced There are a lot of companions." Sanchun and Sister Feng couldn't help laughing lowly.

Xiangyun blushed, making her clothes even more beautiful, she pouted, threw herself into Jiamu's arms and said, "Old Ancestor, Sister Lin is bullying me."

Mother Jia smiled and pulled Xiangyun's body and said: "You two are having a lot of fun together, Yun girl only wants to play with your sister Lin, why don't you pay attention to Ying girl and the others, it can be seen that you two are the best friends."

He pointed at Lin Yifei and said, "That's your sister Lin's brother, you should meet him too."

When Xiangyun heard this, he asked curiously: "When did Sister Lin gain an older brother, why didn't I know?" Then he stood up and smiled slightly: "I met cousin Lin." Lin Yifei returned the salute with a cold face.Xiangyun was so frightened that she retreated back into Jia Mu's arms, and indeed she looked at Lin Yifei curiously, thinking to herself, when did this elder sister Lin come out with a big brother, and she was born so well, but why her face was like ice.Immediately, his face turned red, and he spat at himself. Why did he feel ashamed and criticize what he did.

Mother Jia touched Xiangyun's face and smiled at Lin Yifei, "Fei'er, don't joke, this girl has been used to being by my side since she was a child, and she is the most straightforward and coquettish girl." Seeing Lin Yifei's sullen face, she couldn't help being surprised.

Lin Yifei didn't answer the question, he wouldn't go out of his way to criticize a girl in a boudoir face to face, he just said indifferently: "Although Miss Smith is here, I should let my sister stay here for a few more days, but these two days I often hear people say that my sister Bitter and stingy, I don't understand etiquette. Seeing that my sister is gracious and polite and doesn't care about relatives, I don't care about it. But now Miss Smith actually said it in person. Thinking about it, she has slandered her sister like this for several years. It's Miss Qianjin who doesn't want to care about slaves, but now she has my brother here anyway, but she can't be wronged, so it's better to go home, so as not to disturb anyone's eyes."

Jia Mu's face darkened, she didn't expect Lin Yifei to be so disrespectful when she spoke, maybe it was because she was not related by blood.It's okay to be picky if you want to, after all, Xiangyun did say that Daiyu was stingy just now.Jia's mother was annoyed that Xiangyun's words were thoughtless, so she had to laugh dryly: "Fei'er is overthinking, the two of them are just joking, since they were young, they used to love being together the most, sometimes it's not easy to say these words It's just a joke, it's not serious."

Lin Yifei was expressionless, and said lightly: "Really, I really didn't see what my grandmother said, but my father handed over my sister to me, so I naturally have to take good care of it, otherwise it will really make people think that I am just greedy for my sister's family property, yes My younger sister is better because of face, but she doesn't have any sincerity in her heart."

Mother Jia was startled, not understanding why Lin Yifei suddenly said such words, she looked at Daiyu in embarrassment, and said, "Where is Fei'er going, Yu'er knows best, our family is not so careless about talking wrong." talker."

Daiyu knew that Jia's mother wanted to speak for herself, she stared at her for a while and said softly: "My brother is kind enough for me, it's hard for me to answer my grandmother's questions. An elder brother is like a father, and now Yu'er's affairs are done by her elder brother." Lord, naturally I can only listen to my elder brother. If my elder brother speaks inappropriately, please ask my grandmother to see that he is also concerned about Yu'er and forgive me."

Xiangyun's face darkened when he heard it early, and he muttered: "What's wrong with Brother Lin and Sister Lin, the old ancestor just kindly wanted to keep you, why did you make such irrelevant remarks, the old ancestor is an elder, you can't help but do this It's too much. I just said it casually and became your target. Is our sister's joke worth Brother Lin's fuss?"

Jia's mother hurriedly said, "What nonsense are you talking about, girl Yun? Your Brother Lin and Sister Lin are just discussing the matter. They are the most filial. How could they disrespect me?"

"Old ancestor!" Xiangyun called out aggrievedly, tears rolled in his eyes immediately, seeing Lin Yifei sitting here, he became more and more ashamed, but he was too embarrassed to shake his hands and run away, so he broke free from Jiamu's arms and ran to Tanchun Sitting beside him with pursed lips like petals.

Mother Jia didn't know how to keep you anymore, so she sighed and said, "I won't keep you in this case, but I must come here often in the future. It's a pity that you two depend on each other and each elder takes care of you. You are lonely after all. If you don't think your grandmother is old and boring I will come here a few more times. Your mother is the child I love the most. If we are separated, your mother will not blame me, and outsiders will not look like it. I am getting old these years, and I always think of the past more and more. , I often see Min'er acting like a spoiled child in front of me." She picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the tears she didn't know when.Daiyu knew that Mother Jia really missed and loved her mother, but this made it even more sad.She would rather Jia's mother had no real affection for her mother and herself, so that her mother would not suffer from depression and suffering, and she would not be more chilled.

Mother Jia ordered Daiyu and Yifei to leave the mansion, and told Xiangyun Sanchun to leave, before she said to Sister Feng, "Girl Feng, what happened these two days, why did Yu'er and Yifei insist on leaving!"

Sister Feng jumped when she saw Jia's mother's sudden anger. She didn't dare to smile any more, and said hurriedly, "It's nothing?"

Jia's mother sneered and said, "There's no such thing as Yifei saying that. I'm Yu'er's only relative in the world. Will Yu'er speak for me? Now you're all going to be obedient to me, why I can't help you? Not even telling the truth."

Sister Feng felt aggrieved, and she knelt down and wept: "The old ancestor said that the granddaughter-in-law has no place to stand. Although the granddaughter-in-law takes care of the housework every day, she can't manage everything clearly. I dare not lie to the old ancestor." Seeing this, the servants also knelt down in fright.

Mother Jia sighed, with a tired and disappointed expression, she pulled Sister Feng up and said, "I've frightened you with a white-haired complaint, why do you become soft-footed shrimp with such a sentence like the overlord of the family all day long?"

Sister Feng got up and muttered: "The old ancestor Thunder's Fury, how can Feng'er be a paper tiger, Feng'er is the one who waits to bark like a donkey, and only meows in vain without real ability."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You, I really don't know what I should say. I really don't like your frivolous appearance, bah."

Sister Feng smiled.Jia Mu said: "You girls should go out to play too. It's hard to be confined, and I'm bored watching it." The people in the room promised to back out slowly, leaving only one mandarin duck.Jia Mu said, "You can tell me this time."

Sister Feng sighed: "The old ancestor is really smart. You can hear the true meaning of my words. Everyone is in charge of the wife's housekeeper, only the elders and relatives can't control it. This is also helpless." I asked Sister Feng: "Could it be related to my wife and Xue's family?"

Sister Feng said in a low voice: "The daughter-in-law also heard about it. My wife and Sister Xue went to find Sister Lin at noon the day Sister Lin arrived, saying that Sister Lin's brother would embezzle my sister's property and let her live in our house and hand over the money to us." They don't care, Madam, let me know if this will not make my sister angry. My sister refuted it, and they ordered Second Master Lian to tell Cousin Lin that Uncle Lin was unfair and only gave him 20 taels of silver to the heir of the Lin family. Second Master Lian dared not If you don’t listen to it, just say it. I don’t know who is spreading these words to those outside study boys. Don’t blame the old ancestor Lian Erye, he dare not refuse to listen to his wife’s orders.”

Mother Jia was so angry that she poked her stick into the tunnel and said, "What a virtuous second wife, what a gentle and virtuous Xue Baochai! They don't even spare an orphan's money, and they have the face to miss all the dowry money Yu'er has. In recent years, Yuer Er'er has so many births in our house, and now Yu'er has finally become close to us family members, and she actually did this. Yuanyang, you go and find Zheng'er, I want to ask him what happened Take care of this house. A good house has caused a smoky atmosphere and separated the flesh and blood. No wonder they suffered from such diseases, and it was retribution, but even if there was no retribution, it fell on Baoyu."

The mandarin duck agreed but didn't move. Jia Mu said, "Why don't you even obey me?" Sister Feng said hastily, "The old ancestor thinks about it, he can't say that. Uncle is the most upright. If uncle is in charge, there will be a storm all over the city. Rumor has it that Jia's mansion seeks money from an orphan, how can our mansion gain a foothold in the capital?"

Mother Jia was stunned, and sighed for a long time, leaning back on the chair: "What's the matter, the family is unlucky. Yuanyang, you go to the Lin Mansion, and you must comfort Yu'er and Feier, and say that no one will bully you if I'm here. Let them go, and let them never have any divisions. Good boy, you are the most appropriate, but you have to make it clear."

Yuanyang agreed and went.In the end, Mother Jia called Mrs. Wang to reprimand her, and then kicked out those young men who spread rumors.Mrs. Wang, who was already sick, took a pause again, and she was so angry that she was furious, but this battle was written on Daiyu's head again, and she deeply hated Daiyu's gossip and tongue-tied.

Let's say that it was Xiangyun's uncle and aunt who let her go for a few days because they saw that she was tired and impatient. That's why Xiangyun didn't know what Mrs. Wang was waiting for until Xiangyun came.Shocked, he forgot all the unhappiness with Daiyu for a moment, and flew to Baoyu's room, and heard scolding and moaning from afar, but it was Baoyu's voice.Xiangyun ran in three steps at a time and saw Baoyu lying on the bed with his hands tied and writhing, with Sheyue and others holding him down.Baoyu scolded: "You are too bold, untie it quickly, and I will report to the old lady tomorrow to force you to go out, oops, itchy!" Xiangyun walked to the bed with a sore nose, looked Although Xiang Baoyu was prepared, she was startled. Baoyu Ruyu's face was now swollen like a pig's head, there was a gap in her eyes, and her face was densely covered with red bumps, which made her very worried.Xiangyun took a step back in shock, calmed down and said, "How did Brother Ai become like this?"

Bao Yu just didn't pay attention, and when he heard Xiangyun's voice, he quickly raised his eyes and saw Xiangyun standing a step away, his face was very distressed, and he hurriedly cheered up: "Why is Sister Yun here, don't look at it, Sheyue is still here!" Put the scarf on me quickly." She Yue quickly covered him, and Xiangyun said with tears: "Brother love, don't be afraid, it will be fine soon, I happened to make a pair of shoes that day, and you can wear them when you are done. Let's go out and play."

Baoyu sighed: "I can't get better in this state. How can I see people? It's better to die."

Xiangyun said eagerly: "No, no, sister Bao also mentioned this thing. The ancestor said that hers is almost healed, and yours will be fine." He couldn't help sobbing.

Baoyu was so shocked that she nearly fell to the ground and said, "What, Sister Bao is also like this, why don't I know. No, I'm going to see him."

Qiuwen hurriedly pressed him, and Qingwen said from the side: "What is Er Ye doing? She is not sad when you go to see her now. She will come naturally when she recovers. She will definitely not want you to see her now. look."

Baoyu was not completely stupid, knowing that he was reckless, he hurriedly said: "Okay, I won't go, you send people to see it every day. If a fairy like Sister Bao is not good, how can you live. I hate that you all hide it from me. .By the way, you are here. Why didn’t Sister Lin come to see me. Ah, it’s better not to come. What should I do if I scare her like this? Sister Lin is timid, so I can’t scare her.”

Xiangyun said: "Brother Ai cares about Sister Bao and Sister Lin. Let me see Sister Bao for you. Our sisters are the best. Sister Lin doesn't care about you at all. Hearing that you are leaving this afternoon, then wait Ruthless and unrighteous, you still think about it, hum." Baoyu nodded hurriedly, but when he heard that Daiyu was gone, he was shocked, forgot to react for a while, and stared blankly at Xiangyun going out.

Xiangyun looked a little unhappy, came out with a gloomy expression, took a handkerchief and slapped the dead branches on the side of the road and said bitterly: "Sister Bao, sister Lin, I came to see it out of kindness, but you just asked them without saying a word." I felt more and more wronged, thinking of Daiyu, I felt resentful, I had a quarrel with Daiyu when I was a child, but I didn't have any other thoughts, now I don't understand why I feel uncomfortable when I see Daiyu, I always want to choke her, Even seeing Sister Bao felt a little uncomfortable.Alas, when will Brother Ai get better? What's the fun of playing here without him?Thinking sullenly, she strolled towards Rikain.
