'Lin Daiyu' of the Red Chamber

Chapter 13 Xiangling Sending Cloth

Mrs. Wang was angry and hated Baoyu, she reprimanded him harshly, ordered Baoyu to reflect, and was not allowed to go out for half a month. ♀Rebirth: My Secretary's Life

Mrs. Wang, the assistant of Zhou Rui's family, has managed Jia's mansion for more than 20 years. She has deep roots and has quite a set of management methods. It took less than a day to find out that the culprit in this matter was passed on by Baochai's two maids, Wen Xing and Yinger. , the cicadas in the Tanchun room are also on the list.But Mrs. Xia got wind of it early and sent a lot of money to Zhou Rui's family.Zhou Rui's family was greedy for money, so they naturally wanted to forgive others; besides, Wen Xing and Ying'er took the lead in telling what Chan'er said. Mrs. Wang only asked Zhou Rui's family to take the culprit, and Wen Xing and Ying'er took the blame. He only taught her a lesson and then let her go.

Ying'er and Wen Xing are from Lixiangyuan, Mrs. Wang has to ask Aunt Xue to deal with them.Aunt Xue has always been kind, and she usually turns a blind eye to the mistakes of the servants under her nose.But this time it involves her daughter's boudoir name, how dare she neglect it.He handed him over to Mrs. Wang neatly and let her sister handle it.Mrs. Wang handed over the matter to Wang Xifeng on the grounds that eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha would not see bloodshed.

Wang Xifeng followed Mrs. Wang's leader's wishes and kicked him out with forty slaps.

Forty planks hit the man, and it cost half his life, let alone the daughter.The buttocks were blooming, bloody and bloody, and the two maids seemed to be out of breath after receiving the board.The people of Jia's mansion didn't care about life or death, they just swept the two half-dead maids into the ruined temple outside the city, and left them to fend for themselves.

When Xueyan heard about this, she was so frightened that she slapped her chest. If she had participated in it, she might have been the one who was beaten forty times.Empress said: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." Then he said: "Second Grandma is too cruel."

When Daiyu heard about this, she commented: "Second sister-in-law is just taking the blame for those two 'kind' wives."

With this punishment, the rumors in the mansion were quickly suppressed, and it was very calm on the surface, as if nothing had happened.But Baochai is missing two maidservants, who wouldn't notice?After a few days of silence, the mood slackened, attracting more people's discussions, and a new version was circulated privately among the servants. The new version happened to restore the true state of the incident, and Xue Baochai was added to it. ♀Urban Bliss Harem

If the rumor started to spread like this, most people might not believe it. Many servants of Jia's mansion respected Baochai very much.But then the benevolent Aunt Xue suddenly became ruthless and punished the two big maids around Baochai, making these people have to believe that Xue Baochai was involved in this incident.May I ask what can make a kind mother ruthless?It could only be to protect the children.

After Baochai learned of the rumors, she hated Wen Xing and Ying'er for not living up to her expectations. She lost face and closed the door to see no one.Aunt Xue was afraid that she would be overwhelmed by something bad, so she wanted to invite sisters Daiyu and Sanchun to accompany her.Unexpectedly, except for the young Xichun who promised to come down, the rest of the people couldn't justify their illness on the grounds of illness.

Aunt Xue was annoyed, she slapped the table and scolded: "Wu Baochai usually treats them well, and the group of gold and silver hairpins has done them a lot of favors, but today I asked them for something, and they turned into cowards one by one."

Xiang Ling said: "Perhaps he is really sick."

"You also believe this kind of reason." Aunt Xue sighed, scolding Xiangling for not using her brain. "Forget it, that kind of person will have less contact in the future. There is only one brocade left from the tribute this year, and you can give it to Xichun."

"Oh, ma'am, that's something more precious than gold, how can I just give it to a little girl, my aunt hasn't caught it yet."

"You go and handle it, I have my own explanation."

So Xiangling took people to get the colorful brocade, and took it to see Aunt Xue, and then wanted to send it to Xichun, but Aunt Xue stopped her.

Aunt Xue's eyeballs rolled around, she walked up to Xiangling, and held down the piece of cloth with her hand.

Xiangling said: "Miss, have you changed your mind?"

"No, don't send her off yet. After a while you quietly follow Xichun back. If she goes to Daiyu's place, you can send her off again."

"What if she doesn't go?"

"Then wait for next time."

Xiangling got the order to guard Miss Bao's door with a cloth, and after a while she saw the mother-in-law picking up the curtain, Xichun and the maids came out of the house and led them to turn around and go straight to the west, which is the direction of Jiamu's courtyard.Xiangling followed cautiously, Xichun then entered Jiamu's courtyard, came out again after a while, continued westward, passed a narrow road, and finally arrived at Daiyu's Cuiyu Pavilion.

Xiangling exhaled excitedly, her hands and feet were cold outside in the cold weather, it was not in vain to wait.Xiangling was afraid that Xichun would go in and out quickly again, causing her to make a wasteful trip, so Xichun entered the Jade Pavilion with her front foot, and she followed her behind.

The courtyard was quiet, Xiangling's heart was beating wildly, and when she entered the main hall, someone greeted her, it was Daiyu's nanny Wang Momo.Nanny Wang was a needleworker, so she fixed her eyes on the piece of cloth in Xiangling's hand, and stepped forward to touch it a few times.

Wang Momo happily asked, "Is this for our girl?"

"No, it was given to Miss Xichun by my wife." After Xiangling vetoed it, she felt a little embarrassed when she noticed the disappointment on Nanny Wang's face.I complained in my heart that my wife couldn't handle things, and she would offend people by sending things like this.Xiang Ling thought about whether she should withdraw first, and went back to confirm her wife's intention carefully before coming back.At this time, Zijuan came out of the house, saw Xiangling, and enthusiastically pulled her in to meet Daiyu.

Daiyu was lying on the couch, covered with two layers of quilts, her face was reddish, and she was a little out of breath.

This look is obviously really sick, Xiangling thought.

Xiangling smiled and went forward to greet Daiyu.While speaking, Daiyu coughed again.Xichun, who was standing far away, was in a hurry, and wanted to help her, but Xueyan stopped her.

"Sister, please don't come here. If I catch the cold, you will suffer more."

Daiyu was forced to stand up and drank a bowl of cough soup.As the saying goes, extreme joy begets sorrow, she saw that Baochai had learned her lesson, she was happy for a while, but when she got up at night, she tried to be brave and didn't put on her clothes, and her whole body broke out.Not only was she ill, but Yingchun and Tanchun, who had a good relationship with her, also caught the cold.

Xiangling couldn't see Daiyu's frail appearance, so she couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "I heard that many people in Jingdu City have suffered from wind-cold disease recently, and three out of ten people got sick. This disease is so severe! The girl's body is weak in the first place. , you have to take good care of it, be careful."

Daiyu smiled gratefully at Xiangling, her body was like a delicate flower reflected in the water, so beautiful that people dare not touch it, for fear that if they touch it, all the beauty will be shattered.

Xiangling was fascinated to the point of utter obscenity, her heart trembled, she lowered her head in shyness, and dared not look at Daiyu again, fearing that her impolite demeanor would collide with that beauty.

Daiyu saw the piece of brocade cloth in Xiangling's hand, her eyes darkened.Seeing Xiangling's shy posture again, she felt so cute, and decided to tease her.

Daiyu smiled and asked Xiangling, "Is this for me?"

Xiangling's hands froze, feeling embarrassed and not knowing what to do.I complained in my heart, it would be great if this piece of cloth was given to Miss Lin.Miss Lin is seriously ill now, she found that Baba came here to give Miss Xichun a gift, this behavior is a bit too rampant.Xiangling couldn't bear to refuse Daiyu, and couldn't change his wife's order, so he hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.

Nanny Wang entered the room with a cup of bird's nest, and seeing that Xiangling was still there, she was a little unhappy, snorted coldly, and stood at the door.

Xichun was anxious, and urged Xiangling: "What's wrong with my sister, I can't speak clearly, she can still move her hands, don't give the things to Sister Zijuan."

Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and giggled, and said to Xichun, "I am teasing her, she is embarrassed. I guess, this cloth is for you!"

"Send me?" Xichun looked at Xiangling in surprise and asked for confirmation. Seeing that Xiangling nodded, half of her face turned dark, she seemed to blame Xiangling for not being able to do things.That cloth is a good thing, and she wants it too, but what happened to Sister Lin after she brought it to Sister Lin. "Is this something for me alone, or does the other sisters have it?"

"It was given to the girl by the wife alone." Xiangling replied in a low voice.

"Then I don't dare to ask for it." Xichun was timid and couldn't bear such threats.It's fine to give her away secretly, and she would hate to give something like this.

Daiyu persuaded Xichun with a smile, "Aunt Xue's wish, you can accept it. I think this cloth is a good thing, I'm afraid it's very rare, even my grandmother may not have it."

When Xichun heard that it was such a valuable thing, she didn't dare to take it anymore.Just imagine that she is a little girl wearing clothes that even the old lady can't afford. Isn't this a "following offence".Hastily said: "Take this thing back quickly, I don't dare to take it. You tell auntie, I have taken your wish, and I have no blessing to accept the thing. It is better to pass it on to the ancestors."

Xiangling became troubled, if she went back like this, she would definitely get a reputation of being incompetent, so she looked to Daiyu for help.

Normally, Daiyu would try to persuade her, but this time she didn't plan to speak up.As soon as Xiangling entered the door with the cloth in her hands, she felt that the girl was instigated by Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue's purpose was to embarrass her, which Daiyu knew very well; but Daiyu couldn't figure it out, she had pushed Baoyu away Give it to Baochai, why does Aunt Xue target her so much?Although the reason is unclear, Daiyu has no reason to swallow this breath.That's why she frightened Xichun later, making Xichun dare not publish the following.

"My sister is stubborn, and you can't bring back nine cows for what you're sure about. You'd better go back, so I can talk to Aunt Xue. It's cold, and you have worked so hard for nothing. Zijuan, you go to those grandmothers yesterday. Reward her with ginger grass tea, this thing is very effective against wind and cold, you can take it home and brew it to drive away the cold air on your body."
