The Jade of the Red Chamber

After Jia Baoyu was beaten, Jia's mother quarreled fiercely with Jia Zheng, and Jia Zheng begged to plead guilty.The backyard of Rongguo Mansion was surrounded by a phoenix egg, but it lived peacefully for several days.

The next day Xue Pan was suddenly beaten on the street with his head covered, and he was carried back screaming, which made Aunt Xue's heart ache enough, and the beating person was also hurt enough to wave at those extremely painful places. As a result, although Xue Pan was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, his wounds healed quickly, but a certain place could not be seen for several months, which made Aunt Xue hate, annoyed and distressed, and made people search for it on the street for several days. Looking for the killer who beat people.

In this incident, Jia Baoyu was the most unlucky, Xue Pan was the most wronged, and Lin Zhenyu was the one watching the fun, but even Zhenyu didn't expect that the one who benefited the most this time was Jia Huan !

Jia Zhengjing was really angry, startled, regretful and afraid about this incident, he refused to pay attention to Jia Baoyu for a long time, but when he calmed down, it reminded him of the concubine Jia Huanlai he had seen that day.In the chaos that day, only Jia Huan and a few other side branches stayed neatly in the corner in their clothes. Jia Huan was still holding books, paper and pens tightly in his arms. Jia Zheng nodded. If you can't admonish your elder brother in time, at least you can educate him.

It's rare that he didn't make any mistakes, so he called Jia Huan to encourage him a few words. Seeing this, all the Qing guests hurriedly echoed and praised Zheng Gongzhen as a Confucian scholar. His long-term follow-up son made him a book boy.Not to mention how happy Jia Huan and Aunt Zhao were, but Tanchun was so relieved and sad that he couldn't sleep all night.

Mrs. Wang knew about it, although she was very angry and broke two tea bowls, but there was nothing she could do for the time being.

Jia Huan felt like he was dreaming while holding the things that his father rewarded him. During this period of time, he had received too many surprises. Once, I gave him the shoes and socks that only Baoyu could get before, and the books and pens and inks given to him by sister Lin and brother Lin, and now...now!For the first time his father looked him in the eye!

Thinking of my aunt's tearful and resentful eyes, the contemptuous expressions of my wife and her companion, and the confiscated books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones - people who are so troubled by my aunt usually don't dare to argue and can only show their own Asked uncle Zhao Guoji to buy decent school supplies for him in private, for fear of making a fuss and let his wife use this as an excuse to mess up his schooling. Now it's up to [-] points!

Zhenyu didn't expect Huan'er's thoughts, and she was happy to see it come true. These years, although Aunt Zhao was confused, she never bullied her mother by favor, and sometimes she would talk to her to relieve her boredom Yes, reciprocate, and he will also entrust their mother and son with trivial matters.

After everyone else in the backyard went to Baoyu's room, Zhenyu took her younger siblings to visit.

Hearing that Sister Lin had arrived in the inner room, Jia Baoyu was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly wanted to get up, but unexpectedly dragged the wound, and fell back on the bed with a sound of "Ouch", and all the maids in the room rushed forward to greet her.

"Brother Bao, are you feeling better?"

"Go back to Uncle Lin, it's much better now." Qingwen, the eldest maid in Baoyu's room, came out to welcome the three of them into the inner room, drawing the curtain hastily. Qingwen quickly took it and thanked her with a smile.

"Second brother, is he better?"

Because of the sweltering weather, Daiyu wore feather gauze clothes embroidered with cloud patterns today, her head was simply tied with jade hairpins, the pearl pendants under her ears swayed slightly, and her wide sleeves swayed lightly, making her more elegant.When Baoyu's eyes turned, Baoyu was already fascinated.

Lin Zhenyu was most annoyed by Jia Baoyu's appearance, even in modern times, no man would stare at a little girl so directly!

Xiren stood beside the bed and was speaking softly. Seeing Baoyu's dumbfounded look, he frowned lightly, and pushed him: "Why are you dumbfounded again? I'm not afraid to offend Uncle Lin, Miss Lin, and Brother Lin." joke!"

I'm afraid this Xiren doesn't like them coming here?Since the first day they came, they have intentionally or unintentionally shown off the closeness between her and Jia Baoyu, and often intentionally or unintentionally said some words with meaning in their words.Well, yes, this is the first-class virtuous person in the eyes of Mrs. Wang. If you want him to say that Xiren is a smart person, is it the kingly way to hold the mistress's thigh tightly? It is really wise to entrust Jia Baoyu for life choose?

Zhenyu smiled and didn't care about Xiren, "What kind of medicine did Brother Bao use?"

"Big brother Lin, younger brother Lin, and younger sister Lin are here, sit down quickly, Xiren Muskyue will serve you tea." Lifting up a little and lying on the soft pillow, he said for a while: "Thank you for your concern, the imperial doctor prescribed some pills , I feel better after applying it on.”

Xiren brewed new tea and served it to Zhenyu, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Miss Bao had a heart, so Tete sent a pill, ground it with wine and applied it," and said to Baoyu nunu mouth, "He felt cool and comfortable. It's better, it's better than the imperial physician's prescription."

When Baoyu heard about it, she was a little uncomfortable and looked in Daiyu's direction several times.

Zhenyu smiled, noncommittal, "Second Uncle was out of breath at first, so it's all right to admit your mistake when you get well, now just take care of yourself. If it's hot today and you're injured again, I got some fragrant dew a few days ago It's very sweet, I just gave it to Qingwen directly, you can taste it later, if you think it's good, ask someone to ask for it again."

"Thank you, brother, for thinking about it." Baoyu smiled all over his face. He didn't have much contact with this elder brother Lin, but now seeing Lin Zhenyu's expression of concern, and he was happy that sister Lin came to see him, he couldn't help but show [-]% care. The pain has long since been thrown into the clouds.

Zhenyu couldn't bear to sit for a long time, she stood up and said, "I'll come to see you later, so you can have a good life."

Daiyu also said: "Second elder brother, let's take care of it, we're going back." Then she followed her elder brother out of the door under Jia Baoyu's eyes.

Sheyue and Qingwen hurriedly sent them out of the hospital, saying: "Uncle Lau Lin, Miss Lin, Second Master Lin has taken care, and Second Master Bao will get well some other day, thank you in person."

Knowing that the three of them came to see Baoyu, Jia's mother was ironing in her heart, and she couldn't help thinking about the two Yu'er, so she made up her mind to write a book for Lin Ruhai to find out.

This day is the time of summer, the weather is hot, there is a saying that "on a sunny day, the warm wind produces wheat air", Lin Zhenyu intends to take her younger siblings to enjoy the coolness in the newly bought Zhuangzi, but because she lives in her ancestral home, Jia's family is in trouble Yes, I had no choice but to give up.

The sun was scorching hot outside, Zhenyu didn't want to go out, and pushed back the appointment with Shuiyang.

Shui Yang stared at the note in his hand, feeling helpless, did he spoil that kid too much?While thinking about it, he told Qin Shulai: "Go, take a few carts of ice from the ice cellar and send it to Lin's mansion, and then send someone to Rong's mansion to tell Uncle Lin that he can pick it up when he needs it."

Knowing this, Zhenyu narrowed her smiling eyes, and hurriedly asked Ma Shou to send someone to deliver some every day.

To say that what Lin Zhenyu regrets the most is that she forgot to order someone to store ice cubes in winter.It's not that there is no ice cellar in Rongguo Mansion, it's just that there are many masters. Except for Jiamu's supply, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng also work together. Others, such as Yingchun, only have a basin of ice a day.Of course, the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu has never been missing, and now that he has been beaten again, he is even more precious.

Zhenyu and Daiyu used to have two basins of ice each day. Zhenyu felt sorry for her younger siblings, and every now and then she went to the ice store and seller to buy some, which was enough.But I don't think that the day before yesterday, Mrs. Wang sent Zhou Rui's family to say: "The weather is hot now, and there may not be enough ice in the ice cellar. Uncle Lin and Miss Lin are young and healthy, so take care of it. Just have a basin of ice every day!" At the end, she muttered: "Second girl and the others only eat some ice-cold fruits to cool off the heat every day..." before she finished speaking, she called Yaomao to stop her.

This time Zhenyu was in trouble, and it became more and more difficult to buy ice from the outside in the hot weather. Those ice vendors were very shrewd, not to mention the high price, they only sold so much every day, and they often couldn't buy it.Zhenyu had no choice but to send all her daily gains to Daiyu's place, temporarily set up a small couch outside Daiyu's living room, and asked Fuyu to stay with her sister for a few days.Isn't Shui Yang sending ice here just in time for rain? ! (Or to say that Shui Xiaogong has a black belly, this ice sent... the timing is good)

Zhenyu became ruthless and ordered Ma Shou to build another big ice cellar in Lin's house and Biezhuang respectively!

Shi Shiran took Chuxue to deliver ice to his younger sister, and then took his younger brother back. Lin Zhenyu enjoyed Xiao Fuyu's adoring eyes very much, and Daiyu laughed: "Brother, now this ice is becoming more and more difficult to find, is this...?"

Nanny Fang is very attentive to raising Daiyu, the magistrate, and the family. Daiyu is no longer the boudoir disease Jiangzhu who slandered the spring, sorrow and autumn in the original book and didn't know the world.Daiyu is intelligent by nature, and Mother Fang often taught her: "Although our lady is not a philistine, even the housekeeper still reads the account book and listens to the reports from the people below, and just orders things to be done, but vision and skills are very important. Yes, so as not to be deceived."

Zhenyu smiled and said: "It was given by my brother's friend. There are a lot of them. Dai'er just use it. My brother asks someone to bring it to you every day."

Fu Yu clapped her hands and laughed, "Is that brother Yang? It's all right now, brother doesn't need to be exposed to heat anymore! My brother has lost weight!"

Zhenyu couldn't help touching Fuyu's top and laughing. This little chubby baby must have learned from his nanny's words. Now that it's hot, Fuyu often doesn't like to eat, and his nanny will say, "I'm skinny again!" , No, the little guy immediately used it on his brother, and he lost weight after only a few days of ice?

Daiyu also laughed, and the maids behind her all pursed their lips in amusement when they saw the chubby and cute appearance of the second master, and Xiao Fuyu blushed, thinking that she had grown up by saying such "adult" words?Even my brother laughed too much, right?

The three were talking and laughing when a maid behind Daiyu said: "It's so hot in the sky. I heard that because Baoyu is lying on the bed to recuperate and is afraid of the heat, there is not enough ice in the house. Why don't you give some to the old lady?" Madame, madam, teach them the filial piety of happy girls too, right?"

Zhenyu paused for a moment, so it was the girl Zijuan. To be honest, he had a good impression of the girl Zijuan in the book. At least she helped Daiyu a lot in the book. There was only one thing that made him not very proud, and that was In Jia's mansion, the old lady and the wife never spoke, and she did match up Daiyu and Jia Baoyu. How could a maid who grew up in the backyard of Jia's mansion not know that if this matter is not done well, it will ruin her own lady's boudoir? reputation?Knowing that she still did this, it took a while to think, Zhenyu narrowed her eyes...

He didn't care when Mother Jia sent her to Dai'er this time. Should people change?Now that Dai'er has herself, has Fuyu, and has someone to teach the world, she is no longer the sick and weak orphan girl who doesn't know how much her family's wealth is, so naturally she will no longer regard a maid like her who has become a monk halfway as her sister's confidant, so Zijuan also Just find another way?Rely on the old lady, Mrs. Wang?

Qingxi, who was dressed neatly in emerald green tight-sleeved clothes, glanced at Zijuan, "It's right to show filial piety to the old lady, but there used to be an ice cellar in this mansion, and it's not our family who are guests here. I heard Mrs. Xue There is such a big ice shop at home, Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Second Wife are such good sisters that she doesn’t even want to send them to the elders, so let’s go over to my aunt’s house to send them off, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for my aunt?”

Zijuan's face was flushed because of the congestion, and Xiaohe, who was standing beside him, came to hold Zijuan's hand and said with a smile, "Your younger sister has a pretty face, but I don't quite recognize her. Is my younger sister...?"

Qing Kong, Daiyu's maidservant, said with a smile: "No wonder you don't recognize it. This is Zijuan. It was the old lady who loved our girl so she gave us what she needed. It's just us clumsy and tongue-twisters taking advantage of the maidservant." Di'er, it's not easy to go beyond the rules, so she was wronged to be second-class. My mother (Qiu Momo) saw that her ingenuity was a hundred times better than ours, so she let her take care of the girl's needlework, and she didn't usually go to the main room. Come here." It just popped up from time to time when the uncle and the second master came to talk to the girl.

Daiyu laughed and said, "She wasn't there when you came, and it's not too late to know her now. Zijuan has a steady heart and is used to being considerate."

"Hurry up and talk yourself, I don't like to hear your little girl chattering." Zhenyu waved her hand and said.

Xiaohe hurriedly took Zijuan's hand, and said with a smile: "Master, you don't like to listen. Let's go to your room to talk! I just got a piece of material a while ago. You are good at sewing, so show me what you can do." Good." Said hurriedly and pulled Zicuckoo out.

Qingxi laughed and scolded: "A dog can't hide two or two ounces of sesame oil in its belly, and I just showed it off when I got it, and I was so ashamed for you." Xiaohe made a face at her, and Zijuan's face turned red and white, and forced a smile Said: "I'll help my sister take a look."

After they went out, Mother Liu said to Su Lan Sumei, Daiyu's second-class maid: "You little sisters are similar in age, and you often talk to Zijuan with your work when you are free. It has always been general, she doesn't come to wait with girls when she is resting, she just makes fun of girls she knows, she doesn't know about this, you should tell her."

Su Lan hurriedly agreed, and Mammy Liu nodded with a smile, and led the maids out, leaving only a few older maids to wait on the uncle, girl, and second master to talk.

Zhenyu watched with a smile, these maids, big and small, were all elves in their minds.
