[Red Mansion] A little chef came to the Grand View Garden

Tanchun and Baoyu's boat went out to sea after passing Lin'an. Not long after they went out to sea, they encountered storms and lost contact with the land.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Wang, as Baoyu's biological mother and Tanchun's concubine mother, could not hold on even if her nerves were made of iron, and she passed out on the spot in Rongxi hall.

Sister Feng was calm, so she hurriedly ordered someone to find a bottle of Western smelling salts for first aid, and gave Mrs. Wang a sniff, and ordered someone to send Mrs. Wang to the back to rest first, and then turned around to comfort Jia Mu. He also discussed with Concubine Nan'an well-spoken and well-reasoned, and agreed on a plan to invite saints and use the southeast coastal garrison to search at sea.

It is said that Concubine Nan'an once praised Sister Feng before leaving, saying that after Rongning's second residence, she might have to bear the burden on Sister Feng alone.

However, this is the case, and it can't solve the worries and sorrows of everyone in the Jia family.

Mrs. Wang first started to become a vegetarian, and made a vow that if Baoyu could return safely, she would eat fast and chant Buddha for three years.No matter what Baoyu asks for, as long as Baoyu can come back, she will agree to everything.

Following Jia's mother, she also gradually reduced the amount of food in each meal - it was not because she made any wish, but because she was really worried about her grandchildren, even the golden water shield and jade grains, she couldn't swallow it now.

The atmosphere in Jia's mansion was not good, and the subordinates gradually did not dare to raise their heads and speak loudly, and it was difficult to show a happy face, for fear of hurting the hearts of the superiors.

The only one who was very proud was Aunt Zhao. Every time she called Jia Huan to her, she secretly asked: "Huan'er, there will be no more precious jade on your head in the future, are you happy?"

Jia Huan didn't know how powerful he was, and asked in a daze, "The third sister, she..."

Aunt Zhao said with a straight face, "This is an opportunity that your own sister earned for you with her life. You will never forget your sister's sacrifice in the rest of your life... In the future, you must give your sister For longevity tablet."

Jia Huan was not too young, so he stared blankly at Aunt Zhao at this time, thinking: My old lady, is this... a madman?

The fleet of Tanchun and Baoyu was in distress. For more than ten days, there was no news from the south.

Most of the people who originally held hope in their hearts gradually became disappointed.Jia's mother fell ill first, and Jia Zheng took a postgraduate job and asked for leave to serve the sick together with Jia Amnesty.

Mrs. Wang will also be unable to bear it and will fall ill—but because there is no confirmed bad news yet, Mrs. Wang just insists on her own, and will go to the ancestral hall of Jia's ancestral hall to kneel for an hour or three minutes every day. I beg the ancestors of the Jia family to bless, the only grandson of the Jia family who has some spiritual energy, can return safely.

Only Sister Feng is able to separate emotion and reason clearly, and now she is the only director of the Jia family, and her methods are still vigorous and vigorous.But at a time like this, everyone knew that the mansion needed a strong supporter, so Sister Feng still kept tight control, but everyone bowed their heads and listened to each other, not afraid to listen.

But because of these accidents in the mansion, Mother Liu felt that it was inconvenient to ask Sister Feng face to face about her release from the mansion, so she finally endured it and wanted to wait until later.

Liu Mei is also very annoyed these days.

Because the news of Baoyu Tanchun's disappearance naturally spread to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Liu Mei secretly asked about Zijuan and Daiyu's situation, Zijuan shook her head and only said "wash my face with tears".

Liu Mei knew that Bao Dai's couple was friendship with children. Hearing that Bao Yu was in danger, it was impossible for Dai Yu to remain indifferent.But hearing what Zijuan said, Liu Mei naturally felt uncomfortable, so she found an opportunity to visit Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

When seeing Daiyu for the first time, Liu Mei felt that Daiyu was fine, at least not as sad as Zijuan described.

I saw Daiyu wearing only her homely dress, sitting in front of the window of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, reading a book in her hands.Seeing that Liu Mei had lost some weight recently, she smiled and relieved, and only asked: "Mei'er, aren't you also worried about Sanyatou and Baoyu?"

Seeing her asking this question, Liu Mei was a little surprised, nodded, and then heard Daiyu say: "They are auspicious people with their own aura. There is no news now, so I think it is good news."

Liu Mei also felt relieved after hearing this, and when she looked up again, she saw two lines of tears in Daiyu's eyes, rolling down like beads with a broken thread.Shocked, Zijuan hurried to get the handkerchief, and comforted Daiyu as she handed it over, "Young lady knows how to comfort others, why is she crying like this now that she is here?"

Daiyu quickly took the veil, raised her head, wiped away the tears on her face, sighed, and said: "It's been like this for the past few years, and I don't feel particularly sad in my heart, but the tears keep flowing, saying If you drop it, it will make me laugh."

Knowing that Daiyu's tears were also due to Baoyu, Zijuan felt quite embarrassed in her heart. She glanced at Liu Mei and saw that there was nothing unusual on Liu Mei's face, so she turned her face away and breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Mei was surprised when she heard this, and quickly looked at Daiyu: Hearing what Daiyu said, it can be seen that "returning tears" is indeed fate, but behind returning tears, there may not be much love for children - this is in line with her original thinking, who said Baoyu loves Daiyu, and thinks of the former alliance between wood and stone. In turn, Daiyu must like Baoyu?But I still haven't had the chance to meet the right person.

At that moment, Zijuan winked at Liu Mei and asked her to wait outside on the porch. After taking care of Daiyu herself, she went to talk to her a few words.

Liu Mei responded, bid farewell to Daiyu, and came to the corridor outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

The parrot on the porch was looking at Liu Mei very intently, one person and one bird, staring at each other, and the parrot let out a "coo" sound.

Liu Mei remembered that this guy still read doggerel last time, and he would say "everything is a flower", thinking that this guy will have some new tricks now.Unexpectedly, the parrot jumped suddenly and flapped its wings vigorously at Liu Mei's eyebrows.

"Damn it, I'm ashamed!" Liu Mei was so angry that she didn't expect that even a flat-haired bastard would dare to play tricks.

At this time, Zijuan just came out and saw it from a distance, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, this guy has been like this recently. He will flap his wings when he sees a beautiful young girl, and he has tried it repeatedly."

As Zijuan pursed her lips, she whistled lightly, and sure enough, the parrot stopped fanning and quietly went back to the shelf to drink water.

Liu Mei glared at Parrot, just as Parrot looked towards her.Liu Mei thought, it's over, it's over, this is clearly a parrot spirit.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Mother Liu hurriedly looking for her, "Mei'er, something... something big happened!"

Liu Mei felt slightly curious.What's going on in Jia's mansion now?Could it be that Tanchun and Baoyu have news?

Unexpectedly, what Mother Liu came to talk about was not about the Jia family's major affairs, but about her Liu family's——

Liu Mei's older sister, Liu Wu'er, who doesn't hit the south wall and never turns back, is acting like a demon again.

It starts with Mrs. Wang going to kneel in the ancestral hall earlier.

Mrs. Wang felt uncomfortable earlier, so she forced herself to go to the ancestral hall and begged the ancestors of the Jia family to protect Baoyu. Unexpectedly, she met Aunt Zhao on the way.

Aunt Zhao was trembling now, and when she saw Mrs. Wang, she couldn't help but sneer, saying that there was no news for so many days, so it should be more than auspicious.Mrs. Wang didn't listen to her words, so she spat face to face, reminding her that her own daughter, Jia Tanchun, was also on board.

Aunt Zhao immediately lay on the ground and splashed, saying that Baoyu had tired her family Tanchun.

Mrs. Wang thought to herself, it was obviously the other way around—she held her chest with one hand, and was almost so angry that she was carried away. She was staggered by the jade bracelet to the ancestral hall, and entered the threshold where only female relatives could enter. , and finally couldn't help sobbing and crying——

She cried because Aunt Zhao poked her mind.

She knew why Baoyu insisted on asking herself that day to send Tanchun south.

Because she just got angry with Baoyu's roommate the day before, and kicked Qingwen and others out--Qingwen died of tuberculosis the next day because of her daughter, and Fangguan and others who were kicked out said that they were killed by the water. Yuean's Yuantong was sold directly to the kidnapper.

Baoyu was very sad in front of Jia Mu that day, and only said that he was cowardly by nature, and he just used the word "hide" when he encountered troubles. He was not talking about Mrs. Wang's expulsion of Qingwen and others.

Mrs. Wang decided that it must be that incident that had completely hurt Baoyu's heart and caused a estrangement between his mother and her son.

Mrs. Wang didn't know that Liu Mei had "truth-truthed" Baoyu once, which touched Baoyu's mind.At this moment, Mrs. Wang felt guilty, and she only said that it was God who punished her, so that Baoyu would go south and be in danger, and she felt really uncomfortable.

One day, she came to the ancestral hall in a daze, and cried again in a daze, when suddenly she heard a soft and pleasant voice beside her call out: "Ma'am!"

Madam Wang looked up and saw a delicate and beautiful face.At that time, the light in the ancestral hall was dim, when the man came to Mrs. Wang, it was as if Qingwen had been reborn. Mrs. Wang was frightened out of her wits at that moment, she let out a soft cry, flinched back desperately, and bumped into Yu Chuan's arms.

I just heard the girl explain softly: "Ma'am, this slave is the servant girl who used to serve in the house of Second Master Bao, named Wu'er."

Only then did Mrs. Wang suddenly realize that she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it wasn't some ghost in front of her who was killing her.

She thought for a while, and then remembered who Wu'er was, and asked in a trembling voice: "You...you are sick, so you went out of the house?"

Liu Wu'er sighed softly, and said: "If you go back to Madam, the maidservant has already recovered from her illness, but the second master Bao is not at home, so she has never been in the garden to serve."

Mrs. Wang heard the words "Second Master Bao is not at home" and thought of her previous worries, she couldn't help feeling like a thousand arrows piercing her heart - she was thinking, if Baoyu hadn't gone south, maybe Qingwen could have been saved by her .

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help nodding slightly, and said, "It's good to be cured. But this is the ancestral hall of the Jia Mansion, you little maid, what are you doing here?"

Liu Wu'er lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Ever since Second Master Bao sent the third girl south, I have come here every day and knelt outside the ancestral hall for three minutes, begging for the blessing of my ancestors so that Second Master Bao can return safely. I didn't dare to enter Those in the ancestral hall just saw his wife crying so hard and felt really uncomfortable, so...unknowingly...he came in."

Tears welled up in Madam Wang's eyes, and she said in a trembling voice: "My son, it's rare for you to have such a heart... I also hope that my ancestors will protect my precious jade, but," she turned her face and went down to worship in the ancestral hall of Jia's mansion The ancestral tablet of the old man continued, "However, I beg every day and every night, why does God refuse to open his eyes, even if there is only one piece of news, it would be good to teach me that Baoyu is still alive—"

When Liu Wu'er heard Mrs. Wang say this, she quickly opened her mouth to comfort, and said softly, "Madam, don't worry, Second Master Bao will definitely return safely."
