Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

When I came to Wang Xifeng's room, Sister Feng was not there, but Ping'er stayed here to deal with things.

Baoyu was very lucky for this.

Originally, he didn't want to cause more troubles, so he didn't let Xiren ask other people in his room.Now if you want to tell Xifeng, you will definitely not be able to hide it.

With Xifeng's character, even if she didn't tell Jiamu and the others immediately, she would keep investigating in secret, and she would definitely find out who was behind the scenes, and then punish her.

Baoyu herself often gets angry, and often acts recklessly, but often when her temper is over, she feels that such actions are inappropriate.

Now faced with the fact that this was most likely done by the little girl, his usual heartache burst out, he was afraid that Xifeng would pursue the person who quietly put the paper figurine under the bed, and bring harm to their family again.

If it weren't for Wang Xifeng's safety, Baoyu might even pretend not to know about it.

Now that he came over and saw Ping'er, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked Ping'er to check under Xifeng's bed.

Ping'er was puzzled, but he knew that if there was no reason, Baoyu would not have done this.

It didn't take long for Ping'er to come out and nod slightly to Baoyu, indicating that he had really found those things.

Baoyu hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Is it burned?"

Ping'er nodded again: "It's burned."

She didn't dare to let Wang Xifeng know about this, but she was even more afraid of letting Wang Xifeng know that she was staying in the room, and that people would have the opportunity to sneak in and put things to harm Wang Xifeng, and she didn't know what Wang Xifeng would do to her.

No matter how deep her relationship with Wang Xifeng is on weekdays, she knows that between her and Wang Xifeng, there is a difference between master and servant.

It happened that Baoyu didn't want to publicize this matter, so she and Baoyu hit it off, and they only wanted to investigate secretly.

"Baoyu, are you saying that Miaoyu reminded you of this? Why don't we find a time to ask Miaoyu? Since she can deduce this, maybe she already knows who presided and who did it?"

When Ping'er spoke, he was very close to De Baoyu.

Baoyu had already thought about getting close to Ping'er, because Ping'er was Jia Lian's man, so he didn't dare to get too close.

Today, for a legitimate reason, and smelling the faint incense from Ping'er, Baoyu's mind is even more swaying.

Seeing him in a daze, Ping'er smiled and pinched his hand: "What are you thinking? Could it be that you were frightened?"

Baoyu just came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's not like that, I just wonder who would treat me and Sister Feng like this. It's really scary that that person can get our horoscope and let people stuff paper dolls under our bed. "

Hearing what he said, Ping'er also said solemnly: "You don't want to say anything about this matter. Anyone who has been in and out of my side is well-founded. I will investigate secretly, and I should be able to find out something."

Although there are always some servants in this family who claim to have grown up with their elders, the rules in Wang Xifeng's room are quite strict, and Ping'er is serious, and it's possible that he can't find people who put things quietly.

Baoyu was nodding her head, Ping'er looked left and right, and seeing that no one came over rashly, Fang sighed, "It's not that I'm talking about you, it's just that you are always too kind to the girls, which makes them a little unruly. Although this kind of thing happened to me, it's a matter of your room rules to persuade Lai, but at least you should be tighter."

Baoyu bowed his head and remained silent at what she said, and even the joy of being close to Heping'er just now faded away.

Ping'er was also worried, and didn't care to think about Baoyu's mood at the moment.

Although she was talking about Baoyu, she knew that it would not be easy even if Baoyu put her heart into it.

In this mansion, there are not many people whose rooms are really clean.

Except for Jia Mu's room, no one really dared to think wrongly, and there were fewer things in the third girl Tanchun's room. Even if Tanchun didn't live in the mansion most of the time now, the servants in her room didn't dare to make trouble. thing.For the rest, even in Mrs. Wang's room, there are some problems.

Not to mention that Baoyu and Ruancai were bullied by girls, Wang Xifeng was strict enough, but he still dared to do anything wrong under some pressure.Otherwise, no one would dare to help harm Wang Xifeng.

Ping'er was even more worried. Some people knew that they had done this, and they might be found out, but they still wanted to help harm Wang Xifeng.If this is true, it can be seen that Wang Xifeng has attracted dissatisfaction from many people in order to manage the Rongguo Mansion well, and Wang Xifeng must be the only one.

She was already thinking about how to persuade Wang Xifeng to hand over the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion to the second room for management, so that she and Wang Xifeng could go back to the eldest room.

Seeing that Baoyu was not very old, Ping'er thought for a while and asked, "You don't have to worry about the old lady waiting for you when you come here?"

Baoyu woke up like a dream, and laughed quickly: "The old lady only thinks that I am with my sisters, and most of the sisters also think that I am with Sister Lin, and some people have seen me and Sister Lin go out to the garden together, so there is no need I’m worried that they will find me. But it’s been a long time since I’ve been out, so I should go back earlier.”

Baoyu knew that staying here would delay Ping'er's investigation, so she might as well go back to her room and see how the girls in her room are doing.

After all, Xiren already knew about this, and Baoyu occasionally heard complaints from other girls in the room. Xiren usually restrained them, and I don't know how many words they had because of their closeness to Baoyu.Baoyu was also afraid that Xiren would investigate what happened today, or Xiren would tell Qingwen about it, and Qingwen would go after the little girls to trouble her, but instead of talking about it, she would let the little girls have children with Xiren, Qingwen, etc. Contradictory, he just wanted to go back to his room immediately, so as not to hurt the kindness of the girls in the room.

As far as Ruo Ping'er said, he should be good at disciplining the servants in the house, and he has forgotten where he is.

He has no business to do every day, but he only hangs out with other princes outside the mansion, and when he returns to the mansion, he has to deal with all the women, which has already exhausted his energy, so if he really wants him to go to some more serious business, I'm afraid he won't Don't lift your spirits.

Let's say that in changcui nunnery, Daiyu had already had tea with Miaoyu.

Miaoyu is obviously a tea lover, not to mention the tea leaves, even the water used to make the tea and the cups used to drink the tea are extremely particular.

Miaoyu's tea here is for tasting, not for drinking with cattle, just a few sips is all it takes.

After putting down the teacup, Miaoyu looked straight at Daiyu and said, "I know why you came here. My master's last words did indeed have something to do with the future of this country, but I don't know what she meant. I can pass it on to you."

"My master said that things that come from far away places that are not valued by this country today will eventually become the root cause of everything that will be overthrown one day. But if someone can face up to the threat posed by those things before then, it will be □ □Shangguo's supremacy can be abandoned as soon as possible, and the future may be changed."

Miaoyu spoke very slowly, every word was exceptionally clear.

Daiyu could hear clearly, but she was even more shocked.

Far away?

She always felt that what Master Miaoyu said in his last words was exactly what Chongyu was going to do.

People outside the Lin family looked at Chongyu's actions, and most of them thought that Chongyu was just greedy for profit. In order to make money, even the nobles of the family could ignore it.

Only Chongyu's close relatives like Daiyu and Lin Ruhai know that Chongyu's real purpose is to search for overseas technology.Chongyu's goal has always been the Western world after traveling across the ocean.

Daiyu didn't know much about these things.After hearing Chongyu's mention, she once read many books, but it was difficult to find many relevant records in the books. It can be seen that the world Chongyu mentioned is far away from their place.

Even when Chongyu persuaded Lin Ruhai to agree with him to set up a business firm and go overseas in the future, the evidence that was enough to prove the power of the Western world was based on speculation in Daiyu's view.

But even Master Miaoyu said this before he died, and Chongyu's worry seemed necessary.

After pondering, Daiyu didn't waste time on the last words, but instead asked, "Then what do you mean when you want the girl to remind Baoyu?"

"When he came to look for me, I saw that his seal was black, so I did some calculations for him after he went back. Unexpectedly, I figured out that someone tried to harm him and Sister Feng. After all, I will live in their house. It's fine if I don't know about it. I found something, just mentioning it by the way."

Miaoyu said it lightly, with only a little melancholy between her brows.

"When I was studying with my master, I thought I had learned a lot from my master. Later, I had some adventures. As long as I didn't meet someone as high as my master, I should be able to deduce a lot of things. Who would have guessed that this time I would do the divination for Baoyu , I can’t figure out who the person who wanted to harm him is. After all, I am not good at learning.”

Daiyu was silent.

There are so many strange people in the world, and she knew that what she had come into contact with was just the tip of the iceberg, but after hearing what Miaoyu, who she thought was extraordinary, said, she finally felt that the world is so big, and she can only live in a deep courtyard, which is really melancholy .

Although she was silent, Miaoyu seemed to know what she was thinking, and sighed softly: "Going out is not as good as you think? If I can choose, I would rather just be the daughter of the boudoir in this deep house."

After a while, Daiyu suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you feel comfortable living here, or in the past?"

Miaoyu was startled slightly.

Daiyu said again: "Perhaps you think you are leading the way to practice, so you stay here for this reason, and you also have a lot of troubles. But for other boudoir daughters, why can't they just stay in a small place? I am also There are more opportunities to go out, but I don’t feel very free. There are restrictions everywhere between actions. Just looking at this, it doesn’t make much difference whether you are practicing with hair or not!”

"I don't know how you practiced before you came to the capital, and I don't know how you lived on the way to the capital. I just heard Qin'er say that she was able to play with her brother back then. If what I want is Ruqin What's wrong with going out if you live like you used to?"

"That's because you can bring enough guards. Ordinary bandits don't dare to provoke you. Miss Lin, you follow your family, and you have never seen the outside world. How difficult it is. With my current status..." Miaoyu said sadly smile.

Although she still retains the pride of being an official's daughter, she knows in her heart that she has long since lost her former status after her parents died.It was this gap in status that brought her even more pain.

The reason why the Jia family treated her so courteously was that apart from the Jia family's need for a good reputation, it was also because her family had a little friendship with the Beijing Palace in the past.

But she didn't dare to expect that little friendship to protect her for a long time.I'm afraid it's the end of the day for her to enter Jia's mansion.

If she wants to go back to her hometown, maybe the Beijing Palace will send her back, but that's all she can do. It's impossible for her to be protected wherever she wants to go in the future.

Her innate divine number can help her seek good luck and avoid bad luck, but once every road is a bad road, there is only a difference in the degree of bad luck, even if she can choose the relatively safe one, she will be doomed.

Having lost her family's protection, in fact, she has long been disqualified for many things.

Daiyu was relatively silent with her.

Still Miaoyu got up and said, "You should go back too. It's your first time entering the Grand View Garden. I'm afraid you won't be familiar with the road. I'll take you out of the garden."

On that day, in order to visit relatives in Yuanchun, even though it was not the season of blooming flowers, I still had to create a scene of colorful flowers in the garden.

When Daiyu came here, she only cared about Miaoyu, and had no time to appreciate the scenery, but now she walked out slowly with Miaoyu, instead she became more interested in enjoying it.

She secretly lamented that the Jia family spent a lot this time, and last year was not very good. When she checked the accounts a year ago and wanted to see the things sent by the Zhuangzi of the Lin family, she heard the lawsuits from the Zhuangzi complaining about the poor harvest this year. And to spend so much, I really don't know where the money comes from.

However, she is not the head of the Jia family, so she can only sigh with emotion.

Outside the Grand View Garden, there are girls looking for Daiyu now.
