[Red Mansion] The third master of jade-like stone treasures

Reflexively, Bao Cong quickly put down his trouser legs, smiled at Lin Daiyu and said, "Why is my sister here? Didn't see me for a day, did you miss me?"

Lin Daiyu choked with tears, and said angrily: "Who misses you? You think beautifully." After a pause, she asked softly: "What's the matter with your leg? Roll it up and let me see."

Baocong waved his hand, asked her to sit down, and said with a smile: "A little injury, it will be healed tomorrow. After rubbing the medicinal wine, it smells bad. Sister, don't look at it." She also called Qingwen: "Hurry up and give it to Lin. Sister pour tea!"

Qingwen went to pour tea, but Lin Daiyu refused, and said softly, "Why did she wipe the medicinal wine and rub your knees for you just now, but I couldn't even look at it?"

Seeing that she insisted on looking, Bao Cong had no choice but to roll up his trousers halfway, give her a look, and muttered: "Look, it's really just a small injury, not serious at all."

Lin Daiyu covered her handkerchief, looked carefully again, and saw that his knee was only a little red and swollen, but not serious, so she felt relieved, and said, "I said, why did you hide in the house today? It turned out that you hurt your knee." She asked again. : "How could it be hurt?"

Bao Cong hurriedly covered the wound, and said with a smile, "I offended the master, and the master punished me to kneel for a while."

When Baoyu came in and heard it, he sat down on the stool and said with a smile: "I was fighting in school a while ago, and you were clever enough to find the master to support me. Why is the master punishing you to kneel today? You don't know to call the servant." Looking for me?"

"If I found out, I would definitely ask my ancestors to save you!"

Baoyu misunderstood last time, he asked Jia Zheng to go to the family school to support him, so he got closer to him these days, Bao Cong didn't explain, just smiled and said: "Thank you!"

The three jokingly said a few words, and Baoyu asked Baocong why Jia Zheng was angry?

Now that Baoyu is 13 years old, Baocong thinks that he should understand something and think something profound, and Lin Daiyu is still waiting to hear the reason.He thought for a while, and then explained in detail: "This is also related to your son's fight at home school."

When Baoyu heard that it was related to him, he suddenly became interested and asked curiously, "How should I say it?"

Bao Cong said: "Didn't I mention it at that time, saying that Mrs. Jia is old, lacks energy, and has average knowledge. Do you hope that the master will find another gentleman for the family school?"

Baoyu recalled it carefully, nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing!"

Lin Daiyu listened, looked at Baocong, then at Baoyu, and became thoughtful.

Bao Cong continued: "I thought the master had been thinking about this matter, so I went to ask the master today. Unexpectedly, the master told me that when the old man Jia was hired as the husband, it was when the uncle of the Dongfu was the patriarch. It was a personal appointment to help their family. If Mrs. Jia is replaced, it will embarrass Uncle Dongfu!"

"I just had a few arguments with the master, saying that the master only cares about the face of the uncle of the East Mansion, and doesn't care about the academic future of our Jia family's children and grandchildren. After hearing this, the master scolded me for not being polite, and punished me to kneel and reflect on myself!"

But a few words, Lin Daiyu listened, and tasted the power of them.

In the family school of a family, the children and grandchildren all study in it. Whether the teachers in the school are good or not is related to the studies of the children and grandchildren. What an important matter!

At such a young age, Bao Cong had already thought about the future of the whole family, and because of this, he contradicted his second uncle.But the second uncle punished him to kneel and reflect on himself because of this...

No matter what Lin Daiyu thought, she felt that the second uncle did something wrong.But as a junior, even if she was gossiping with her brothers, she didn't have the reason to criticize their father in front of them.

So Lin Daiyu pursed her lips, and only listened to Baoyu's determination: "The old man, the lectures are boring, and he can't control people. He should have been replaced a long time ago!" Then he marveled at Baocong, "You are really amazing, how dare you contradict the master like this , no wonder the master was so angry that he punished you!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Daiyu frowned, and murmured in her heart: They have almost the same face, and they are brothers who grew up together, but how can the thoughts in their minds and the things they worry about in their hearts be so different?

The more she looked at the two brothers, the more she felt the difference.

Bao Cong was still analyzing the matter with Bao Yu, and Bao Yu had listened, but when he heard Jia Zheng's name, he was terribly frightened, and he didn't understand what Bao Cong was talking about.

Lin Daiyu could only shake her head and sigh in her heart, but didn't say anything.

After another conversation, Lin Daiyu saw that Baocong was yawning from exhaustion, so she dragged Baoyu out and went back to rest.

On the next day, Bao Cong's knee was much better. As long as he endured the pain, he would not be limping when he walked.

Jiamu and Mrs. Wang didn't know that Baocong knelt and hurt his knee, and Lin Daiyu and Baoyu helped cover it up, so there was no disturbance at all, and it disappeared quietly.

This year coincides with Jia Jing's full year old.

Although he is cultivating immortality in the Taoist temple, everyone in Ningguo Mansion dare not neglect him when his birthday is approaching.In order to show her filial piety, Jia Zhen even planned to hold a birthday banquet for Jia Jingda.

He sent invitations to all the relatives and friends of the Jia family.As Jia Jing's elder, Jia's mother, Jia Zhen also asked You Shi to invite her to Ningguo Mansion to have a banquet and watch a play, and to join in the fun.

Naturally, Lin Daiyu was going too.

However, in Ningguo Mansion, Jia Zhen and Jia Rong are not good people, and most of their relatives and friends are rich and rich.Bao Cong thought about it, there must be a lot of people at the birthday banquet, and men and women were drinking and having fun, so they were easily bumped.

So he tortured Lin Daiyu and asked her to pretend to be sick and stay at home to rest.Lin Daiyu didn't care about having any kind of banquet, and after being tortured by Baocong for a long time, she agreed.

When it was the right day, Mother Jia packed up early and took Sanchun, Baoyu Baocong and others to Ningguo Mansion.

When they arrived at the door, Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law Youshi greeted them all the way to the back garden.

Because Wang Xifeng was on good terms with Qin Keqing, she asked Youshi how her illness was and said she would go to see her.When Baoyu heard that Qin Keqing was ill, he clamored to visit him together.

Although Baocong had only met Qin Keqing once, they were all relatives. Qin Keqing was ill, so he should go to visit him, so he decided to go with Wang Xifeng and Baoyu.

You Shi asked Jia Rong to lead them to Qin Keqing's room.

Qin Keqing is the grandma of Ningguo Mansion, so the things she uses are naturally of the highest quality.The whole room is gorgeously arranged, and incense is lit inside, making it look graceful.

If it weren't for Qin Keqing lying on the bed weakly, with a pale complexion, and coughing a few times from time to time, this place would really be somewhat similar to a fairyland.

Wang Xifeng and Qin Keqing said a few sweet words, and then fed her bird's nest porridge.Looking at Qin Keqing's sickly appearance, Baoyu remembered her former beauty and appearance, and felt sad for a moment, so she lay down on the table and began to cry.

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to put down the bowl and comfort Baoyu, saying that Qin Keqing's illness is not beyond the point of being incurable, and she will gradually get better...

Listening to Wang Xifeng's soft words, Bao Cong's eyes were full of Qin Keqing's incomparably luxurious boudoir, and Jia Rong who was sitting on the side pretending to be sad. All of a sudden, what he thought of was—hell on earth!

Qin Keqing, a good girl, married to Jia's family, but met Jia Zhenjiarong, a vicious father and son who had no human relations in their eyes.

Can she do those things willingly?Thinking about it, the toes knew that they must have been persecuted.

She hates this huge Duke's Mansion, she has nowhere to complain!

Thinking of this, Bao Cong sighed heavily again.

Even if Qin Keqing has the guts to complain, do others have the guts to listen?Do you dare to say a word for her?

Although it was a guess based on hearsay, Baocong thought about himself, if he really listened to Qin Keqing's complaints and confirmed that those dirty things were true, could he say and do something for her?

No, no, anyway, she could only force herself to die... The more she thought about it, the colder her hands and feet became, the more dizzy she felt, Bao Cong staggered two steps and had to support the wall.

Baoyu was crying. Seeing Baocong suddenly like this, she stood up and exclaimed, "Baocong, what's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

Wang Xifeng and Jia Rong also hurriedly went up to check, supported Baocong, and asked him what's the matter?

Bao Cong had a buzzing headache, and shook off the support of several people, saying: "It's nothing, I didn't sleep well yesterday, and now I'm a little tired and dizzy."

On such a good day, Bao Cong, this precious bump, if he visits the sick and exposes himself to the sick, that would be very unlucky!

Therefore, Wang Xifeng hurriedly said to Jia Rong: "You help him out and find a quiet place for him to rest."

Jia Rong responded and called a girl to help Baocong go out together.

But Bao Cong couldn't stay in Ningguo Mansion anymore. How could there be peace in this place?

Enduring his headache, he waved his hands impatiently and said, "The singing in the garden is too noisy, don't disturb your excitement, I'll go home and sleep."

As he said that, he ignored Jia Rong and the others, and drifted out like a wandering spirit, walking all the way back to Rongguo Mansion.

When he got home, Bao Cong lay on the bed weakly, covered his eyes with his hands and sighed, as if he was asleep or not.

Qingwen called him several times and asked him what was wrong.

Bao Cong didn't answer, just waved her hand and let her go out.Qingwen knew that he was in a bad mood, so after thinking about it, she went out to invite Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu is now in Xue Baochai's room in Lixiangyuan.

Today, everyone in Manfu went to Ningguo Mansion to have fun, and she was bored by herself.

When Zijuan saw her, she persuaded her, "It's better to go and be with Miss Bao. I heard that she has been ill for the past two days, so maybe she didn't go to Dongfu at home today."

Lin Daiyu naturally felt very good, so she packed up two unfinished handkerchiefs, and planned to go to Xue Baochai's place to chat and embroider.

When I went to Lixiangyuan, Xue Baochai was indeed there, playing with Yinger with a small sandbag!

"How did you hear that Sister Bao was ill?" Lin Daiyu came in with a smile and said, "Look at Sister's complexion, she's ruddy, she seems to be recovering!"

Seeing that it was Lin Daiyu, Baochai stood up quickly, sat down facing her, and said, "It's just a few coughs, but I've taken the medicine before and I'm back."

Lin Daiyu was surprised, and said, "Why don't you go to the East Mansion for a birthday banquet? I heard that they invited a troupe. Don't you like watching operas?"

When Baochai heard this, she was stunned, and smiled awkwardly, "Mom and brother said that there must be a lot of people in the mansion over there for birthday celebrations today. I'm afraid I might be bumped into by accident, so let me cultivate at home."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, remembering that when Bao Cong pestered her before, he seemed to say similar things...

After asking this, Baochai was also a little puzzled, and asked Lin Daiyu, "Why didn't my sister go to the banquet, but came to me instead?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "My former son, Baocong, also said that the people over there are so chaotic, so I can't pretend to be sick. I heard that you are sick at home. Don't you see you coming?"

"Brother Baocong told you to pretend to be sick and not go?" Baochai's heart skipped a beat, as if he had sensed something, but he was a little uncertain, so he only heard Lin Daiyu whisper: "Yes, he said that eating wine and watching theatres are also good. It's nothing rare, it's not like we haven't had it in our own family..."

What she said again, but Baochai couldn't hear clearly, and had already thought of going elsewhere.

Her mother and brother didn't ask her to go to Dongfu, she knew why.Brother Baocong coaxed sister Lin not to go to Dongfu, is it because he thinks the same?
