Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Aunt Xue was feeling uncomfortable because of this, and scolded, "You bastard, you still have the face to ask, didn't you just make a scene?"

This Xue Pan used to be a brainless and unguarded person, but today this matter really wronged him, so he became anxious and said,

"Who said this? They say it's me, it's me. If they say I killed someone, wouldn't mom believe it?"

Aunt Xue said, "This is what your sister said. Could it be that your sister has wronged you?"

Baochai persuaded him for a while, telling him to calm down. Seeing a person like Xue Pan who was straightforward, how could he bear the grievance, but he was gagged by his mother and sister again, so he said nothing. Speaking up,

"My dear sister, I know what you're thinking. My mother said before that you have to find jade to match this piece of gold. It's not a problem. You have protected Baoyu!"

Baochai's face was dry and embarrassed, and she ran back to the house crying. Aunt Xue has always loved these two children. Pan, cursing Nie Zhan, followed Xue Baochai to the house.

Seeing that the two of them had left, Xue Pan felt annoyed that he hadn't spoken properly just now, and was bored for a while, so he went back to the room to sleep.

Aunt Xue entered the room and saw Baochai buried in the quilt crying, her heart ached so much that she couldn't help but started crying, just like that, she stepped forward and pulled her up, and said comfortingly,

"Baochai, don't cry anymore. I've already scolded that evil person severely. It was his fault. Don't take it to heart!"

Xue Baochai looked back and saw that Aunt Xue was also crying, hugging her, and the two burst into tears.

Baochai may be crying for Xue Pan's open mouth, or Baoyu, or her unknown future.

As for Aunt Xue, maybe she was crying for Xue Pan's ignorance, maybe she was crying for Baochai's grievance, or maybe she was crying for her old age.

They hugged each other and cried for a long time, but Xue Baochai calmed down first, and wanted to talk to Aunt Xue about the matter with Baoyu.After hesitating for a long time, he opened his mouth again and again, but he still didn't mention it, instead he comforted Aunt Xue softly.

Later, after Xue Pan sobered up, he bowed to and apologized to the two of them, and then they reconciled.

Just two days after the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Rui couldn't stay longer because of the academy's affairs, so he left. Before leaving, he repeatedly asked Jia Lu to take care of Daiyu, and Jia Lu agreed.Daiyu's illness came and went quickly, but she recovered in three or two days.

As for Jia Baoyu, he was not injured that day, but after resting for two days, many sisters and sisters came to visit one after another while sick. The concern of the sisters means that no matter how many illnesses there are, the pain will disappear.Coupled with Jia Zheng's disappointment and discouragement, he no longer restrained him, and became even more cheerful, but he always felt that he had forgotten something.

However, within three to five days, the peace in the Grand View Garden returned to normal. Mrs. Wang was not very well. She stood in front of Baoyu before and suffered a lot of injuries. She was injured for a hundred days, but she lay down for many days.

After Daiyu recovered from her illness, Jia Lu found a free time and went back to her home.

After dismissing Jiao Qian and the others, he called Nanny Li over and asked,

"Mammy has been with me for many years, right?"

Nanny Li replied, "The old slave came up when the girl was six years old, and it has been five or six years now."

Jia Lu hesitated for a long time, and seemed to have some unspeakable words, and then said,

"The ones who came up with Mammy that day were Nanny Sun, Nanny Zhao, and a person called Nanny Qian, right?"

Jia Lu talked back and forth, even Nanny Li couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so she followed her words and said,

"Exactly, there are four old slaves. Nanny Qian is out now, doing business with her man. Back then, the old lady meant to wait for the girl to come up to serve after she was ten years old."

Jia Lu's eyes lit up, and she said, "I don't know if Mammy has contacted her before?"

Nanny Li nodded, shook her head again, and said, "There is also a point or two of contact, but it's not too much."

"Do you know what store she manages?" Jia Lu asked anxiously.

Mother Li thought of Jia Lu's age, and she understood a little bit. The girl was getting older and began to care about the dowry shop. She was very relieved, thought about asking Jia Lu to wait a while, and packed up an account book by herself. Handed it to Jia Lu, said,

"Girl, this is what the old lady left for you when she passed away. Because you are still young, girl, you only left one account book. In addition to your one, the old lady also keeps a copy for the shop and everything else. My wife is in charge."

Jia Lu took the account book, which was as thick as a finger, and opened the account book. The densely packed handwriting, the embroidery village in the east of the city, the grain shop on Lihe Street, and the small farm in the city wall, all of them were written by Han. His handwriting made her eyes red. Her mother was thinking of her before she died of a serious illness. Thinking of the happy time when her mother was alive, tears flowed down her face.

Seeing her like this, Nanny Li hurriedly comforted her, "The girl is not as sad as this, the old lady is not at ease even if she looks at it from the sky, if she is well, the old lady will be happier looking at it."

Yes, the dead are gone, and now what is needed in the end is the living, wiped away tears, looked carefully, there are several embroidery villages on the ledger, asked,

"Are all the embroiderers in this embroidery village our own or are they hired from outside?"

Nanny Li hesitated and said, "I don't know about this old slave. I'm afraid he has someone hired as well as his own. Maybe you have to ask Nanny Qian to find out."

Jia Lu thought for a long time and asked, "You just said that all these shops are located where my sister-in-law is. Mammy, do you think it's okay for me to ask her directly?"

Nanny Li hurriedly stopped her and said, "That's not okay. There's no girl who goes to ask for a dowry by herself. If you tell her, she'll lose all her face and reputation."

Then I thought about it, and said, "If the girl really wants to take charge of these things in advance, you might as well ask the old man, the girl is already old, and the old man will definitely plan it for the girl if he knows it, and the girl doesn't need to spend any more time thinking about it." of."

Jia Lu thought for a while, and Li Nanny was right. She asked someone to clean up and went to Jia Jing's courtyard. Lu greeted An and greeted him. After the two sat down, Jia Jing asked,

"Go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, it's rare for Sister Lu to come here, I don't know, but what can I do for my father?"

Jia Lu couldn't help but blushed, and said in shame, "My daughter is not filial, she can't come to pay her respects often, and I hope Daddy will forgive me."

Seeing that she took it seriously, Jia Jing laughed, "You still take it seriously, could it be you who went out with me two days ago?"

Then he said, "Just to joke with you, if you are not filial, then Rong Qiang and your elder brother will be shameless."

"My daughter can't tell if daddy is joking or not, but daddy is right. My daughter really has something to ask daddy this time, and I hope daddy can help sister Lu." sleeves, looked over sincerely.
