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

I thought it was an illusion, but after trying again and again, it turned out to be true.

For a moment, it was like cutting a knife on the heart, it was extremely painful.

Baoyu sensed that something was wrong, and blurted out, "What's the matter with you? Are you injured?"

Bao Cong stood up slowly, and then put the carving knife and broken jade into his sleeve without showing any trace, and said calmly, "I'm not injured, just a little tired."

He looked at Baoyu carefully, and found that the brocade clothes and clothes, which were clean and tidy before he went to the prison, were already dirty and torn; his hair was messed up, and the pearls on the jade crown and braids had disappeared; his face was full of stubble, and his eyes were red and swollen There are still unwiped teardrops.

He looked like a pitiful little boy who had been bullied miserably, and looked much more embarrassed than him.

Baoyu was uncomfortably sized up, sniffed, and subconsciously glanced at her own empty neck.

Around the neck, the gold necklace with Yu was gone.

Bao Cong's eyes also fell on his neck, "Where's your jade? Who snatched it?"

Baoyu was a little aggrieved, "I, I don't know, it was too dark last night, I couldn't see people clearly."

It would be fine if it was the original piece of jade, he has never cared about those vain gold and silver things, it would be better if it was gone.But that piece of jade was specially carved by Bao Cong for him...

Last night, a few people broke in at once, robbed him of valuables and left, how would he know who was who?

Bao Cong was silent for a while, feeling a little pity.

That piece of jade is the only work he has engraved with the bonus of sanity attribute, if he can't get it back, I don't know which bastard it will be cheaper!

Thinking of the heartbreaking accident of Keyu just now, I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with Baoyu's jade being robbed...

"Bao Cong..." Baoyu was aggrieved.

Bao Cong shook his head, "If you lose it, you lose it. I'll carve another piece for you later, just don't let the wives know, lest they worry."

Baoyu nodded, looked at Jiamu's mourning hall, and became sad again, the tears that had just stopped flowing down.

As soon as he got out of the prison, Dongming told him that Jia's mother had gone, Rongguo Mansion was raided, and the wives were kicked out of the mansion.

His home is gone.

Baoyu trotted in distraught, and knelt in front of Jiamu's coffin, weeping uncontrollably.

"Old ancestor, old ancestor, why don't you wait for me, wait for me to come back..."

Baocong followed, carefully kneeling behind Baoyu, looking at Jiamu's coffin.

The tall coffin blocked his sight, preventing him from seeing Jia Mu directly.

He never cried, nor did he go to see Jia Mu lying in it, as if he could picture Jia Mu still alive without seeing it directly.

But Baoyu cried like a girl.

Bao Cong said in his heart, it really seems to be crying for two people.

In the other courtyard of the Lin family, Qingshuang took off her shirt and was struggling to apply medicine for herself.

Last night, although he was holding the imperial bestowed Yu Ruyi, those officers and soldiers were really not easy to mess with.Relying on King Loyalty and Obedience, all of them pretended to be confused, and handed over Yu Ruyi directly, tied him up and beat him up.

The yard was not guarded, and after those officers and soldiers rushed in, they were no different from local hooligans. They snatched valuables when they saw them, and smashed them crazily if they couldn't take away the big ones.

Fortunately, King Bei Jing arrived in time, and Lin Daiyu's locked warehouse was not broken open.

I heard that Baoyu's yard was not so lucky. Not only the small warehouse was smashed open, but also a lot of Baochai's dowry was robbed.

In the end, I can only sigh, it's good that people are fine.

Although Baocong and Lin Daiyu didn't blame her, Qingshuang still felt a little uncomfortable.

This was the first time he had messed up his errands so thoroughly.

Dong Ming Wu Hui and the others all contributed to this disaster, but he was the only one who not only failed to make any contribution, but was also ashamed!

Qingshuang sighed, trying to reach out for the wound on her back, but she couldn't reach it, she couldn't help feeling impatience in her heart, she was so angry that she threw the Jinchuang medicine to the ground.

"Qingshuang, are you there?"

There was a knock on the door, and Qingshuang recognized Qingwen's voice.

My heart is even more anxious!

Qingshuang didn't say a word, pretending that she was not there.

Qingwen still knocked on the door, "I know you're inside, so hurry up and open the door!"

Qingshuang was furious, put on her shirt casually, stared at the door, but didn't say anything, and didn't open the door.

It was quiet outside the door, and there was no movement.

Qingwen seemed to be gone.

But Qingshuang is not that stupid, he saw it all, Qingwen hid to the side, the shadow of the hair ornament on her head was exposed by the window.

This little girl is playing tricks, trying to trick him into opening the door?

There are no doors!

Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, he heard Qingwen yelling outside the door: "Come on! Come on! Qingshuang has fainted! Come on!"

Qingshuang was so anxious that she rushed over and opened the door, and stopped Qingwen: "What are you yelling? Who fainted!"

Dongming and Wu Hui always liked to laugh at him as a weak chicken with no power to restrain them. If they knew that he would faint after being beaten up, wouldn't they laugh at him for several years?

Seeing Qingshuang standing at the door with an angry face, Qingwen smiled happily.

She went up and pushed Qingshuang away, entered the room skillfully, and said arrogantly: "Who told you to pretend to be dead in the room?"

Qingshuang had no choice but to follow into the house, and asked angrily, "What are you doing here? Grandma doesn't need to serve her?"

Qingwen opened the box in her hand, laid out a pile of wound medicine and gauze, looked at the wound on Qingshuang's face, and said carefully: "Grandma has a lot of people serving her, she is waiting for the third master to come back, but there is no Take care of us."

She raised her chin and signaled Qingshuang to sit down: "Come here, I'll give you the medicine."

Qingshuang didn't move, "I don't need you, I've already taken care of the wound."

Qingwen snorted, raised her eyebrows, opened her mouth and shouted outside: "Come here, Qingshuang..." Halfway through speaking, Qingshuang covered her mouth.

Qingshuang said angrily: "What are you doing? Isn't everyone tired enough today? Why do you still have the strength to yell?"

She thought Qingwen, who was eloquent, would defend her, but unexpectedly, her eyes turned red all of a sudden.

He didn't speak, just stared at him with watery eyes.

Qingshuang couldn't help her aura, and finally moved her hand away with a sigh: "...you don't want to scream, others think I have done something to you!"

Qingwen pursed her mouth, took the bottle of Jinchuang medicine, opened it, "Sit down and take off your clothes."

Qingshuang: "..."

After a stalemate for less than a while, they were defeated by Qingwen's insistence.

He took off his shirt with his back facing and sat on a round stool.

Seeing the criss-cross wounds on Qingshuang's back, Qingwen's eyes turned red.

She gritted her teeth, wiped the medicine for him silently, and wrapped him in gauze skillfully, from beginning to end, she didn't say a word.

When it was dark, Baoyu was dragged by Baocong to tidy up again, and sent to reunite with Mrs. Wang Baochai and the others.

Mrs. Wang and the others were anxiously waiting, and when they saw Baoyu come back, they hurriedly surrounded him for a while.

"Baoyu, my son, you are really suffering!" Mrs. Wang took Baoyu and looked him up and down several times.

Although Baoyu cleaned up again, she couldn't hide the haggard look on her face and the redness and swelling in her eyes.

When Mrs. Wang saw her, she was naturally very sad.

Baochai and Xiren also wiped away their tears. Baoyu looked at them at a loss, and could only murmur comfortingly: "Madam, I'm fine."

He looked at Baocong again as if asking for help, but Baocong stood at the corner of the wall to install a stone statue, pretending that he didn't see Baoyu asking for help.

He had expected that a bunch of people would cry around Baoyu, what could he do?

It was Baochai who regained his senses first, and persuaded Mrs. Wang, "Baoyu must have been unable to eat or sleep well these days. Why don't you ask him to eat some porridge, sleep well later, and talk slowly tomorrow." ?”

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, pulled Baochai and nodded straight: "My son, you are still thoughtful, and it should be like this."

So he ordered Xiren to pass some easy-to-digest food up. Seeing that Baoyu had used it, he asked Baochai and the maids to surround Baoyu to rest.

After a bunch of people left, Mrs. Wang asked Baocong, "Where's your brother's jade?"

Bao Cong was a little surprised, thinking that Mrs. Wang would explode immediately when she found out that Bao Yu's gold collar was missing, but she didn't expect that she would bear it for so long, and only asked Bao Yu after he had gone to rest.

Mrs. Wang looked very nervous, obviously worried about what happened to Baoyu's jade.

Bao Cong thought for a while, but still lied: "I'll keep that jade, and plan to take it to Qingfeng Temple to get rid of bad luck."

That's what I said, but it's just an excuse.

However, Mrs. Wang believed in gods and Buddhas very much. Hearing what Bao Cong said, she really relaxed a lot.

She clasped her hands together, read a few sutras, and said slowly: "It should be like this. Recently, the family...is not peaceful. Even Baoyu went to a prison. It is time to copy some sutras and stand in front of the gods and Buddhas." Make an offering, and pray to gods and Buddhas to bless the family with safety."

So she discussed with Baocong about the details of Qingfeng Temple's practices, as well as her own and her family's female family members' desire to copy scriptures.

Bao Cong agreed to all of them, after all, it was just a small matter of spending some money, and it was Mrs. An's heart.

There were some noises outside the gate, Bao Cong strolled towards the gate, and saw Lin Daiyu greeted with a figure.

Bao Cong took a look and found that it was Feng Jiangyi.

Naturally, Feng Jiangyi also saw Bao Cong and Mrs. Wang, and hurried forward to greet him, "Brother Bao, Auntie, I'm late!"

Mrs. Wang was very surprised, "You, why are you here?" Looking behind Feng Jiangyi again, seeing that there was no Yingchun, she became even more puzzled.

The Rongguo Mansion was ransacked in the morning, and it was probably spread all over the capital. Feng Jiangyi dared to come to visit at night, which is really rare!

Feng Jiangyi explained: "Today, my mother and Yingchun heard the news from the mansion, and were very worried about my aunt and all the sisters, so I specially packed some personal items and sent them to me for emergency."

What Yingchun gave was naturally good things.But what the Feng family sent was very ordinary.For ordinary people, it is already an excellent thing, and it is not even comparable to what the Jia family used before.

Then there are the things sent by Lin Daiyu, when compared, it seems that the things sent by the Feng family are not so dedicated.

Bao Cong hurriedly went up to meet her and asked Lin Daiyu, "Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why did you come here?"

Lin Daiyu whispered: "The two younger sisters have already settled down, and I'm idle at home. Why don't you pack up some things that the wives need and bring them here. How can the wives get used to living in such a poor place?"

At the gate, Wu Hui and Zicuckoo have already led a group of servants to direct all the things brought by Lin Daiyu and Feng Jiangyi into the house. They should have everything they need for food and clothing.

Not to mention the dozen or twenty people in the yard now, even doubling the number of people is enough.

Bao Cong shook Lin Daiyu's hand, pulled her aside, and watched Mrs. Wang exchange greetings with Feng Jiangyi.

"You husband and wife really have a heart, please tell your mother, thank you for remembering us." Although Mrs. Wang was down and out, she still looked like a lady, smiling and maintaining courtesy.

Feng Jiangyi was about to reply, but Mrs. Xing might as well come out of the house, and said angrily: "Such a big event happened at home, why didn't Yingchun come back?"

She glanced at the things Feng Jiangyi brought, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Is this something that our family still needs? If she really cares about us, why didn't she come back and take a look in person?"

As she said that, Mrs. Xing wiped away her tears: "She grew up with her ancestor, and now that her ancestor is gone, she doesn't come back to pay her respects. It's really in vain that the ancestor loves her! "

After all, Baocong and Mrs. Wang are not Yingchun's close brothers and mothers, so they can only frown and persuade Mrs. Xing: "Why doesn't Yingchun care about us? Didn't she ask your son-in-law to bring something?"

Mrs. Xing still refused to let her go, and scolded Yingchun for being unfilial. Such a disaster happened to the family, so she didn't know how to go home and have a look!

Feng Jiangyi had no choice but to explain embarrassingly: "Yingchun is not feeling well today. My mother is afraid that she will be too sad when she comes back, and her body will not be able to bear it, so she is left at home to recuperate..."

After hearing this explanation, Mrs. Xing became even angrier, "Not feeling well? When Yingchun was at home, we didn't have any minor ailments. Why are you feeling unwell now that you have only been at your house for a few months?"

"Could it be that my Jin Zun Yugui's daughter became unwell after being treated harshly when she arrived at your house? Now that the family is down and out, are you and your mother planning to kill my daughter so that she can steal her dowry?"

The more she said it, the more shameful she became. Mrs. Wang hurriedly stopped and said, "Sister-in-law! Your son-in-law came to help you out of kindness, how can you speak so rudely?"

Bao Cong also said sharply: "Auntie, the family is not peaceful now, you should be cautious in your words and deeds, how can you talk so nonsense? You must know that disaster comes from your mouth. Now you still have a place to live. If you talk nonsense again, nephew I'm afraid you can't even live here!"

Mrs. Xing is bullying and afraid of hard, just now she just wanted to find an excuse to take advantage of Feng's family, so that his family would spit out some of Yingchun's dowry.

All her belongings for many years have been confiscated, Jia Mu didn't even leave a fart, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng couldn't take care of themselves, and the second room's furniture had nothing to do with her. dowry...

Besides, although a married daughter is like poured water, even if it is poured water, it is still the daughter of the Jia family's blood. Shouldn't Yingchun and Feng son-in-law help?

But Mrs. Xing also knew that she was a bit too shameless, so she could only say embarrassingly: "Now that the family is down and out, am I worried that Yingchun will be wronged at her husband's house?"

With these words rounding off the scene, everyone's expressions softened a little, they just still stared at Mrs. Xing, warning her not to talk nonsense.

Bao Cong sighed weakly, and hurriedly confessed to Feng Jiangyi: "Brother-in-law, don't take auntie's words to heart. Auntie has been frightened for the past few days, and her mind is not clear. It is not the truth. I will send her to the hospital for consultation tomorrow. , I will definitely not trouble my brother-in-law in the future."

Mrs. Xing was taken aback by Bao Cong's words, and was about to shout, but was stopped by Mrs. Wang's stern look.

Mrs. Wang told the girl: "The eldest lady is sick and confused, please ask her to go back to the room to rest."

The maids responded, and quickly dragged Mrs. Xing back into the room, regardless of what Mrs. Xing was yelling.

Feng Jiangyi is also a person who cares about face. Hearing Madam Xing's words, he naturally has an ugly face.

I didn't expect to be ridiculed when I kindly brought things to visit.

But at any rate, Baocong and Madam Wang were very polite, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, eased his face, and said to Madam Wang: "Auntie knows that Yingchun has always been concerned about her family, and today she said that she would go to that mansion to worship her grandmother, but She is really inconvenient, so my mother and I advised her to rest at home..."

Lin Daiyu was worried about Yingchun, so she asked, "What's wrong with Yingchun? If there's something wrong, Baocong and I will ask a good doctor to take a closer look at her later. She's so young, it's not good to suffer from some kind of disease."

Feng Jiangyi paused, and his face suddenly turned a little red: "It's not that she's not in good health, but she's pregnant. The doctor said she's worried too much and needs to rest more..."
