Caiyun and Caixia stepped forward and pushed the door open. Mrs. Wang lifted her foot and walked in. The first thing she saw was Qingwen sitting on the porch bending over to sew a cloak.Because she was busy with darning, she was only wearing homely clothes, and she did not put on any make-up, so she wore an ordinary bun and looked much lighter than before, even so, she was still eight or nine points attractive.
When Qingwen heard the noise, she raised her head to see who it was, and suddenly saw Mrs. Wang standing opposite with a straight face, followed by two maids, Lin Zhixiao's family and a group of women.As soon as Mrs. Wang was about to open her mouth, she said angrily: "Foomy thing, kneel here and wait for me to deal with you later!" The felt cloak hadn't drooped at all to get dusty.
When Lin Zhixiao's family saw it, they said: "This girl is a little old, but fortunately, she is honest, everyone else is playing with her, but she still remembers to repair the master's clothes, and she kneels when she is asked to kneel, and she has no resentment to dirty the master's things. Ma'am, look at this..." Mrs. Wang cast a glance at Qingwen and said nothing, she stepped up the steps and said to Caiyun Caixia, "Knock the door".This time it was Caiyun who came forward, she knocked on the door twice with her fingers, and a voice came from inside: "What's the matter, mothers? Don't bother us if you have nothing to do, we are all busy!"
Mrs. Wang stepped forward abruptly and opened the door. In the main room, Baoyu was wearing only a single coat and rolled up his sleeves, and was stirring in the tub with his hands. None of the three servant girls next to her was dry. The throat is laughing and screaming.There was commotion inside, and suddenly the door was pushed open, Bihenyuan was trembling with laughter, and looking outside, it was Mrs. Wang standing outside with a face, and her voice was as if someone had choked her for a while. With a sound, other people saw her frightened and looked out, all of them were so frightened that they shut their mouths and did not dare to speak.Bao Yuben was standing behind a long table that he did not know where to get in the main room. Suddenly the room fell silent. He didn't know what was going on. He looked up with a smile and saw Mrs. Wang coming in, and he didn't know where to put the wooden basin. Stir in it, or take it out, but slowly retract it bit by bit.
Lin Zhixiao's family followed behind and hurriedly gave these girls a wink. Sheyue reacted quickly and hurriedly knelt down with a "plop", and others also hurriedly knelt down together when they saw it. Baoyu and Mrs. Wang were all in the room immediately. Standing, the rest of the people held their breath and knelt on the ground, not daring to make any noise.
Mrs. Wang looked around the house, and at this time the people who stayed outside had already locked the maid who was on duty in the yard today, and they huddled together like quails with their heads down.Mrs. Wang didn't even want to look at them, she just turned her head to look at Lin Zhixiao's family and asked her: "What about the attacker? I let her take care of the yard, so let me take care of it like this?" Lin Zhixiao's family apologized and said with a smile: "Mrs. Did you forget? I was caught in the wind and cold before the attack, and I moved to the back for fear of offending the master. At that time, you nodded your head yourself." Mrs. Wang just remembered, turned around, looked into the room and knelt on the ground The maids: "I didn't know that without the attacker in this yard, the demons danced wildly! Even a few gatekeepers dared to go to collect sand and be lazy. Let's drag them out of the yard first." Hit! Ask everyone else to show me what happens."
The women kneeling on the ground groaned loudly when they heard the words, and begged one after another: "It's not that we are lazy, it's that the second master of Unable to treasure takes a fancy to these vice ladies. We were forced to stop standing at the gate of the courtyard, so we had no choice but to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion next door to find someone to talk to, so we could have a closer look." Those guard maids who never crowded in front of Baoyu also covered their eyes and cried out their grievances. After distinguishing it, it seems that the big maids above deliberately suppressed Baoyu and didn't learn well, and pushed out other decent maids.Mrs. Wang trembled with anger after hearing the cry, she gritted her teeth and shouted: "Drag these guys out before you get here! You can't stop your mouths even if you eat a board, and the master is eager to bite when he is punished. It can be seen that on weekdays They must also be disobedient." The gatekeeper woman never thought that this board would not escape, so they all had to hang their heads and ask to be dragged to the yard for execution.
When it was the maids' turn, Baoyu couldn't sit still. Just about to beg for mercy, Mrs. Wang said to Caiyun Caixia: "Please invite the second master Bao to the Rongxi Hall for me. The master will come back in a few days. I will see you." What kind of homework is used to prevaricate!" When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's name like a mouse and heard a cat meowing, she was so frightened that she softened, and asked two maids to help her left and right, and then went out. Halfway through, she couldn't feel at ease and turned her head to look at the kneeling couple in the room. A big girl.Forget about the others, Mrs. Wang saw that Baoyu was the only one who could not forget these few, and the evil fire in her heart was more intense, she gritted her teeth and said, "My mother-in-law is going to have a physical examination of these kneeling people in the room, so as not to turn around and say I have wronged you all! All the wild waves have no edge, what are you doing in the yard and shut the door in the daylight?" The sound of being beaten outside gradually died down, and at this moment, they all secretly thanked themselves for being punished after the punishment. The misfortune escaped, and there was some gloating in every eyebrow and eye, just to see the bad luck of the big girls who usually look down on others with half-rolled eyes.
Three of the women who followed came out, and the leader said to Sheyue Bihen and others: "Girl, get up and go to the inner room by yourself, at least save some face." In order to be humiliated, go back and ask someone to check.At this time, even if you don't want to, you can't recruit. It's as good as being tied up and taken down, without any affection.The mother-in-law checked and knelt down to Mrs. Wang and said, "Mrs. Back, among the maidservants, only the one who is kneeling outside to mend clothes is still intact, and the rest are not virgins." Call all the maids in the house to check them out!" Lin Zhixiao's family personally brought the mother-in-law and brought all the maids in the back, after careful inspection, Mrs. Wang almost fainted out of anger.None of the older ones were innocent, only a few young ones who were not well-behaved, and immediately said angrily: "Tie up these shameless hooves and drive them out. I strip off all the clothes and jewelry outside. To reward the maids, all of them are wearing red and green eyebrows and eyes, and they don’t look safe. There are so many things in my brother’s yard, and it’s strange that they don’t improve every day.”
Fu said to Lin Zhixiao's family again: "Go and tell me the attacker, fine her for three months, and throw her out together next time!" He dragged a few maids who were not perfect to the hairpin rings, bent down and said carefully: "It's okay for these few families to have children, just ask their mothers to go back and take care of them, but there are still a few originals. It was bought from outside, and I don’t know how to deal with it. The servant dare not be self-confident, please show me.” She was talking about the two officials, Qingwen and Qingwen, and Mrs. Wang didn’t even look at it: “You fool! They, go out, Baoyu should get married in two or three years, who dares to marry a girl to him in the yard like this."
Lin Zhixiao's family didn't dare to ask any more, so they waved their hands and asked them to be dragged away too. Madam Wang said, "I don't need the old ones, I send them to the servants in the yard next to me. You go and pick out a new batch of them." , don’t look out of style, as long as you are thick and clumsy and can serve you, let me take a look after you pick it up, and this time, no matter what, you can’t let those goblins get in again.” Baoyu now has sixteen maidservants, big and small. After twelve or three, Lin Zhixiao's family had no choice but to follow orders.Mrs. Wang called Zhou Rui's family to come and go to Jia Mu's place to go back to the garden. Those big girls were locked in one place and waited to see what the old lady said.
At this time, Mother Jia hadn't rested yet, she was letting Yuanyang stand in front of her, and Hu Po knelt by her feet and beat her legs, when she suddenly saw Mrs. Wang's face turned pale and went back, the old lady couldn't help but wondered: "Isn't it called?" Why are you here again? But nothing can be resolved." Mrs. Wang knelt down and kowtowed her head with tears in her eyes, and said, "I beg my ancestors to spare my daughter-in-law once. I will go to the garden to see Baoyu today, thinking about trouble. I didn't ask people to go there to inform in advance, but I didn't expect to go to the door to have a look, there was not even a doorkeeper. Once I went in, the yard was full of crazy girls, none of them were useful, and they would just mix Baoyu with them. A few days later Xiren got sick again and didn’t come to serve her, the water is cold and her clothes are thin, so I don’t know what use they are for.” He raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, and a woman next to him came up to continue the discussion.
Fortunately, when she heard that there were a dozen girls in a courtyard who were having an affair with her grandson, Jia's mother was furious and said, "It's strange that Baoyu is always weak, so it's these restless hooves who caused the disaster. "The others didn't ask any more questions, and all of them were thrown out.At this time, even the housekeeper Lai everyone took orders, and Tete went out to help Lin Zhixiao's family to drive out these maids, and replaced them with new ones to serve Baoyu.From the beginning to the end, Baoyu didn't dare to say a word, and when things were settled, he asked someone to send him back to Yihong Courtyard. At night, when he saw Xiren who was the only one who stayed behind, he hugged and cried. Since then, his temperament has become more and more eccentric.
All the relatives heard that the Rong Mansion was going through such a toss, so they had to hide in the house and tell it as a joke, even Mrs. Xue heard it, shook her head and sighed: "These girls will be ruined for the rest of their lives. No errands, no monthly money, which family is willing to support someone who is free to eat? And because of such things as serving men, they are kicked out, even if they marry, they will not have ambitions, but it depends on how you earn your life in the future!"
Sure enough, for a few days, it was rumored on the street that a girl driven out by the Jia family twisted her hair and became a sister-in-law, and even fled to the temple with several others to seek shelter. Her face was so ashamed that the master's family couldn't hold their heads up. Mrs. Wang simply refused to go to the relative's banquet, and hid in Rongxi hall all day long to avoid embarrassment.At first, Mother Jia didn't know about it, but it was something else that caused her relatives outside to hear about it. Immediately, she was so angry that she lay down and rested for several days before she recovered, and she didn't want to go out to meet people. up.
In the twelfth lunar month, the Shen family sent an official matchmaker to Xue's house to ask for an appointment, because the two families had already negotiated, this time Mrs. Xue hastily decided on the last day of the Flower Festival on the 21th day of the second lunar month as a wedding ceremony.On the [-]st day of the first lunar month, Baochai's birthday was organized together with Jizhi's gift. It happened to be tidied up in a month, and both Shen and Xue's families were still free to take care of it, so it was decided.In the future, Baochai will not be allowed to go out at will, so Shen Yu invited Baochai to go out again before the eighth day of the lunar new year.
This time the weather was cold, although there was an ice show in Zechi, but it was easy to catch wind after all, so Shen Yu didn't think about it anymore, but chose Baochai to go out of the city gate and head towards Zhuangzi.After walking for about an hour and a half before reaching the place, Baochai reckoned that this place was farther than Daci'en Temple.After getting off the car and looking around, it turns out that it is a famous scenic spot, so it is close to a hot spring, and the climate is warmer than other places.The curling water vapor on the white stone is like a fairyland, and there is actually a small Buddhist temple on the mountain, which just sits in the finishing touch.Because of the water vapor, the rocky steps were a bit slippery. Bailing stepped forward to support Baochai and climbed up the steps. When he walked to the abbot, he looked up and saw a couplet inlaid with red sandalwood. You go alone, and the inscription on the stele is better than smelling the fragrance, listening to the Brahma, and I come by myself."
Baochai looked up for a while, and Shen Yu came up from behind to see her, so she also looked at it, and said with a smile: "It is said that this is the place where the Buddha relics of the previous dynasty appeared, so later generations built temples here, Because of the opportunity to build a temple, it was discovered that there was a circle of hot springs around it first, and later the dignitaries in Beijing bought properties and built Zhuangzi. These couplets are often left by celebrities after a glimpse of the scenery. Naturally, there are many open-minded and unrestrained words, and there are special monks gathered together There is a booklet out, if you like it later, you can take a copy home and enjoy it later." Baochai really liked this kind of candid sentences, so she nodded and followed him inside.Shen Yu thought Miss Xue was inconvenient to move because she was wearing a veiled hat, so she couldn't walk fast, so she stood by her side.After passing the mountain gate, you can see the moss and ancient trees in the courtyard. It should be a little colder than other places, but it is warmer because of the nearby hot springs.
Behind the mountain gate of this Zen courtyard is a screen wall carved with the word "Zen", and turning around is a small lotus pond.It is said that the tortoises kept there have lived for hundreds of years. Many people like to tease them with food when they come here, hoping to see this rare auspiciousness.Later, the ancient cypresses and pines face each other, and several Lingxiao trees are planted on the high steps according to the terrain.A group of people paid homage to the main hall, side hall, back hall, and side hall one by one, and then came out to enjoy the Buddha statues that have been passed down for generations.
The stone sculpture is on the stone wall of a small mountain next to the water in the west of the Zen courtyard. The hot water from the hot spring below merges into a stream that winds away, and there are actually live fish swimming in it.The hill is not too high, the vegetation is verdant, the mountain road is tactful, the holes are dotted with holes, and it is full of fun.People walk slowly along the streamside path at the foot of the mountain, and the Buddha statues and the inscriptions of the predecessors complement each other. It is really a winding path that can't be finished, and the forest scenery is endless.
Everyone had a look along the mountain road, and before the end of the day, Shen Yu hurriedly urged the horses and horses to return, fearing that it would be too late to return, and it was dark after entering the gate of the capital.In the twelfth lunar month, there was no one walking on the street every night, and even small businessmen closed their stalls early and went home to cat their cats because of the cold.Shen Yu rode a horse and walked forward outside the car. When walking, she heard a scream in the alley, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.Shen Yu hurriedly tightened the reins and waved the coachman to stop. As expected, a young woman with disheveled hair and clothes was thrown out as she wiped the hoof of the horse pulling the carriage. Immediately, another man and a woman chased after her.
I just heard the woman say in a sharp voice: "You should still think that you are the golden and jade lady now. Don't dislike the old raven when you are wiped black from the bottom of the pot. If you want me to say, it's nothing more than dressing and eating, and being with that young master. Follow up, follow up with an old man, I'm afraid I will tell you to take it easy!" The words were so unbearable, but she was still proud of herself and not ashamed.It took a long time for the woman who fell to the ground to get up, hugged the horse's leg and cursed fiercely: "Bah! What kind of bastard are you, you dare to take my idea. Now that I am released, I am a good citizen. If you want to sell me, there is no way! In a hurry, I set this alley on fire, let's wait and see!"
At this time, the man was trembling and also scolded: "If you don't go to find a way to live with you, I won't support you, a loser who is called out! How dare you bite me and kick me! Don't enter the house if you don't agree. Forget it from freezing to death!" The woman holding the horse's leg yelled at him in a hoarse voice: "Shameless Wang Ba, your mother-in-law doesn't know how many green headscarves you have worn with you, and she blindly followed her , I’m telling you to drive out now, just freeze to death and starve to death, if you survive by chance, I’ll never give up with you in this life!”
In the carriage, Baochai heard the voice very familiar. She turned her head and lifted the window screen to look out. The woman holding the horse's leg was clearly Qingwen, the eldest maid in Baoyu's courtyard.I just remember that in her previous life, Qingwen ransacked the Grand View Garden and asked to be kicked out. It is said that she contracted her daughter's tuberculosis and was afraid of getting sick. Sure enough, she heard the news of her death after a few days, and there was no other news after that.Although the Jia family's life is difficult now, but it's not yet the end of life, why did she come out?Suddenly recalling the rumors that the Jia family had kicked out many maids a few days ago, Baochai knew that it must be her aunt, Mrs. Wang, who had an outburst.
She didn't want to meddle in this nosy business at first, Qingwen was born with a good look, but she has a violent temper and a snarky mouth, which is not liked by others, and her reputation has been ruined so she can't be used.But seeing her running out with disheveled hair and bare feet in such a cold night, she was fighting for her life and refused to admit defeat, Baochai finally relented.Go, go, go, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and if you don't keep it by your side, just arrange her to do a job in the shop.Thinking of this, Baochai glanced at Yinger, and asked her to turn her head to say a few words.
Standing barefoot on the ground, Qingwen was already frozen to the ground, and she was in a stalemate with her brother and sister-in-law, holding back her chest and her neck was blocked by a stream of heat.The two in-laws chasing her saw that the girl was stubborn and held on to the nobleman's frame and refused to let go, and they didn't have the guts to go up and drag it, so they had to curse and turn back to the alley. life and death.Qingwen was a girl who was bought by Mammy Lai, the companion of Jiamu, when she was ten years old. Later, she was given away by Nanny Lai because she was very clever and liked by Madam Lai.Because her status is lower than that of other families, on the contrary, she develops a temperament of being competitive and pinching, and she is absolutely unwilling to be inferior to herself.Her elder brother is the famous "duo bastard" in Manjia Mansion, and her sister-in-law is also a girl who has "examined" most of the heroes and talents in Jia Mansion.The two first planned to persuade Qingwen to go to Baoyu to make trouble, and then they heard that the sister-in-law was still intact, so they planned to tell her to be a concubine with a dying local rich man.How could Qingwen be willing, her brother wanted to tie up the person and stuff him into the sedan chair to carry him away, and then just add another paperwork for selling himself, so what's so rare.Unexpectedly, Qingwen was aggressive, kicking and biting so many bastards, and frightened the girl so much that she dared not go forward, so she found an opportunity to escape to the street.
When Qingwen heard the noise, she raised her head to see who it was, and suddenly saw Mrs. Wang standing opposite with a straight face, followed by two maids, Lin Zhixiao's family and a group of women.As soon as Mrs. Wang was about to open her mouth, she said angrily: "Foomy thing, kneel here and wait for me to deal with you later!" The felt cloak hadn't drooped at all to get dusty.
When Lin Zhixiao's family saw it, they said: "This girl is a little old, but fortunately, she is honest, everyone else is playing with her, but she still remembers to repair the master's clothes, and she kneels when she is asked to kneel, and she has no resentment to dirty the master's things. Ma'am, look at this..." Mrs. Wang cast a glance at Qingwen and said nothing, she stepped up the steps and said to Caiyun Caixia, "Knock the door".This time it was Caiyun who came forward, she knocked on the door twice with her fingers, and a voice came from inside: "What's the matter, mothers? Don't bother us if you have nothing to do, we are all busy!"
Mrs. Wang stepped forward abruptly and opened the door. In the main room, Baoyu was wearing only a single coat and rolled up his sleeves, and was stirring in the tub with his hands. None of the three servant girls next to her was dry. The throat is laughing and screaming.There was commotion inside, and suddenly the door was pushed open, Bihenyuan was trembling with laughter, and looking outside, it was Mrs. Wang standing outside with a face, and her voice was as if someone had choked her for a while. With a sound, other people saw her frightened and looked out, all of them were so frightened that they shut their mouths and did not dare to speak.Bao Yuben was standing behind a long table that he did not know where to get in the main room. Suddenly the room fell silent. He didn't know what was going on. He looked up with a smile and saw Mrs. Wang coming in, and he didn't know where to put the wooden basin. Stir in it, or take it out, but slowly retract it bit by bit.

Sheyue reacted quickly and hurriedly knelt down with a "plop", and others also hurriedly knelt down together when they saw it. Baoyu and Mrs. Wang were all in the room immediately. Standing, the rest of the people held their breath and knelt on the ground, not daring to make any noise.
Mrs. Wang looked around the house, and at this time the people who stayed outside had already locked the maid who was on duty in the yard today, and they huddled together like quails with their heads down.Mrs. Wang didn't even want to look at them, she just turned her head to look at Lin Zhixiao's family and asked her: "What about the attacker?

The gatekeeper woman never thought that this board would not escape, so they all had to hang their heads and ask to be dragged to the yard for execution.
When it was the maids' turn, Baoyu couldn't sit still. Just about to beg for mercy, Mrs. Wang said to Caiyun Caixia: "Please invite the second master Bao to the Rongxi Hall for me. The master will come back in a few days. I will see you." What kind of homework is used to prevaricate!" When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's name like a mouse and heard a cat meowing, she was so frightened that she softened, and asked two maids to help her left and right, and then went out.

Fu said to Lin Zhixiao's family again: "Go and tell me the attacker, fine her for three months, and throw her out together next time!" He dragged a few maids who were not perfect to the hairpin rings, bent down and said carefully: "It's okay for these few families to have children, just ask their mothers to go back and take care of them, but there are still a few originals. It was bought from outside, and I don’t know how to deal with it.

It happened to be tidied up in a month, and both Shen and Xue's families were still free to take care of it, so it was decided.In the future, Baochai will not be allowed to go out at will, so Shen Yu invited Baochai to go out again before the eighth day of the lunar new year.
This time the weather was cold, although there was an ice show in Zechi, but it was easy to catch wind after all, so Shen Yu didn't think about it anymore, but chose Baochai to go out of the city gate and head towards Zhuangzi.After walking for about an hour and a half before reaching the place, Baochai reckoned that this place was farther than Daci'en Temple.After getting off the car and looking around, it turns out that it is a famous scenic spot, so it is close to a hot spring, and the climate is warmer than other places.The curling water vapor on the white stone is like a fairyland, and there is actually a small Buddhist temple on the mountain, which just sits in the finishing touch.Because of the water vapor, the rocky steps were a bit slippery. Bailing stepped forward to support Baochai and climbed up the steps. When he walked to the abbot, he looked up and saw a couplet inlaid with red sandalwood. You go alone, and the inscription on the stele is better than smelling the fragrance, listening to the Brahma, and I come by myself."
Baochai looked up for a while, and Shen Yu came up from behind to see her, so she also looked at it, and said with a smile: "It is said that this is the place where the Buddha relics of the previous dynasty appeared, so later generations built temples here, Because of the opportunity to build a temple, it was discovered that there was a circle of hot springs around it first, and later the dignitaries in Beijing bought properties and built Zhuangzi. These couplets are often left by celebrities after a glimpse of the scenery. Naturally, there are many open-minded and unrestrained words, and there are special monks gathered together There is a booklet out, if you like it later, you can take a copy home and enjoy it later." Baochai really liked this kind of candid sentences, so she nodded and followed him inside.Shen Yu thought Miss Xue was inconvenient to move because she was wearing a veiled hat, so she couldn't walk fast, so she stood by her side.After passing the mountain gate, you can see the moss and ancient trees in the courtyard. It should be a little colder than other places, but it is warmer because of the nearby hot springs.
Behind the mountain gate of this Zen courtyard is a screen wall carved with the word "Zen", and turning around is a small lotus pond.It is said that the tortoises kept there have lived for hundreds of years. Many people like to tease them with food when they come here, hoping to see this rare auspiciousness.Later, the ancient cypresses and pines face each other, and several Lingxiao trees are planted on the high steps according to the terrain.A group of people paid homage to the main hall, side hall, back hall, and side hall one by one, and then came out to enjoy the Buddha statues that have been passed down for generations.
The stone sculpture is on the stone wall of a small mountain next to the water in the west of the Zen courtyard. The hot water from the hot spring below merges into a stream that winds away, and there are actually live fish swimming in it.The hill is not too high, the vegetation is verdant, the mountain road is tactful, the holes are dotted with holes, and it is full of fun.People walk slowly along the streamside path at the foot of the mountain, and the Buddha statues and the inscriptions of the predecessors complement each other. It is really a winding path that can't be finished, and the forest scenery is endless.
Everyone had a look along the mountain road, and before the end of the day, Shen Yu hurriedly urged the horses and horses to return, fearing that it would be too late to return, and it was dark after entering the gate of the capital.In the twelfth lunar month, there was no one walking on the street every night, and even small businessmen closed their stalls early and went home to cat their cats because of the cold.Shen Yu rode a horse and walked forward outside the car. When walking, she heard a scream in the alley, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.Shen Yu hurriedly tightened the reins and waved the coachman to stop. As expected, a young woman with disheveled hair and clothes was thrown out as she wiped the hoof of the horse pulling the carriage. Immediately, another man and a woman chased after her.
I just heard the woman say in a sharp voice: "You should still think that you are the golden and jade lady now. Don't dislike the old raven when you are wiped black from the bottom of the pot. If you want me to say, it's nothing more than dressing and eating, and being with that young master. Follow up, follow up with an old man, I'm afraid I will tell you to take it easy!" The words were so unbearable, but she was still proud of herself and not ashamed.It took a long time for the woman who fell to the ground to get up, hugged the horse's leg and cursed fiercely: "Bah! What kind of bastard are you, you dare to take my idea. Now that I am released, I am a good citizen. If you want to sell me, there is no way! In a hurry, I set this alley on fire, let's wait and see!"
At this time, the man was trembling and also scolded: "If you don't go to find a way to live with you, I won't support you, a loser who is called out! How dare you bite me and kick me! Don't enter the house if you don't agree. Forget it from freezing to death!" The woman holding the horse's leg yelled at him in a hoarse voice: "Shameless Wang Ba, your mother-in-law doesn't know how many green headscarves you have worn with you, and she blindly followed her , I’m telling you to drive out now, just freeze to death and starve to death, if you survive by chance, I’ll never give up with you in this life!”
In the carriage, Baochai heard the voice very familiar. She turned her head and lifted the window screen to look out. The woman holding the horse's leg was clearly Qingwen, the eldest maid in Baoyu's courtyard.I just remember that in her previous life, Qingwen ransacked the Grand View Garden and asked to be kicked out. It is said that she contracted her daughter's tuberculosis and was afraid of getting sick. Sure enough, she heard the news of her death after a few days, and there was no other news after that.Although the Jia family's life is difficult now, but it's not yet the end of life, why did she come out?Suddenly recalling the rumors that the Jia family had kicked out many maids a few days ago, Baochai knew that it must be her aunt, Mrs. Wang, who had an outburst.
She didn't want to meddle in this nosy business at first, Qingwen was born with a good look, but she has a violent temper and a snarky mouth, which is not liked by others, and her reputation has been ruined so she can't be used.But seeing her running out with disheveled hair and bare feet in such a cold night, she was fighting for her life and refused to admit defeat, Baochai finally relented.Go, go, go, saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and if you don't keep it by your side, just arrange her to do a job in the shop.Thinking of this, Baochai glanced at Yinger, and asked her to turn her head to say a few words.
Standing barefoot on the ground, Qingwen was already frozen to the ground, and she was in a stalemate with her brother and sister-in-law, holding back her chest and her neck was blocked by a stream of heat.The two in-laws chasing her saw that the girl was stubborn and held on to the nobleman's frame and refused to let go, and they didn't have the guts to go up and drag it, so they had to curse and turn back to the alley. life and death.Qingwen was a girl who was bought by Mammy Lai, the companion of Jiamu, when she was ten years old. Later, she was given away by Nanny Lai because she was very clever and liked by Madam Lai.Because her status is lower than that of other families, on the contrary, she develops a temperament of being competitive and pinching, and she is absolutely unwilling to be inferior to herself.Her elder brother is the famous "duo bastard" in Manjia Mansion, and her sister-in-law is also a girl who has "examined" most of the heroes and talents in Jia Mansion.The two first planned to persuade Qingwen to go to Baoyu to make trouble, and then they heard that the sister-in-law was still intact, so they planned to tell her to be a concubine with a dying local rich man.How could Qingwen be willing, her brother wanted to tie up the person and stuff him into the sedan chair to carry him away, and then just add another paperwork for selling himself, so what's so rare.Unexpectedly, Qingwen was aggressive, kicking and biting so many bastards, and frightened the girl so much that she dared not go forward, so she found an opportunity to escape to the street.
