[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

It was the fifteenth day, and Xiren's mother went back to the old lady early in the morning to take Xiren back to have New Year tea.In the New Year's Eve, the sons of families who have their own face even invite their masters to drink. Although Xiren is not very popular with Jia's mother, this small grace is still possible.

The attackers have gone, and there is no one to control Jia Baoyu's room. Seeing that Baoyu is not in the room, the girls run around more and more.There are those who join in the fun and play, and there are also those who sneak away and go to reunite at home.

Qingwen rolled the dice alone in the outer room for a while, feeling bored, Yuanyang saw it from behind, and said with a smile, "Why don't you play with them? What are you doing blankly by yourself?"

Qingwen said: "I have gone. The self-appointed manager in the past also went to reunite with my mother and brother. I don't have a mother or brother. I don't stay here. If Baoyu comes back, I will be angry again."

After hearing this, Yuanyang felt sorry for her: Nanny Lai bought her with money. Although she has an uncle and brother, that brother only knows how to drink and gamble, and her sister-in-law is also frivolous. A little bit of help?Yuanyang remembered that her parents were looking at the house far away in Jinling, and her sister-in-law would only blindly instigate her brother to take advantage of her, which was much better than Qingwen's.Today, during the Lantern Festival, everyone is lonely and saddened.

Yuanyang couldn't bear her being here alone, and said with a smile: "Today's festive season, the whole house is full of excitement, and the wives and grandmas don't care about us. You have let down this good day. Why don't you go to the wife's courtyard to find Qingjin stubborn Go, that girl has been bored ever since Zhu Xiu and Miss Lin returned to Yangzhou. Zhu Xiu asked me to find her to relieve my boredom, but I can't get away. Go find her and help me and her I want a box of facial grease."

Qingwen laughed and said, "Are you asking me to play, or are you asking me to ask for something for you? Now it's the cold winter months, and if you stand outside for a long time, your face will get chapped. No rouge and gouache will work. It all depends on this facial fat, who can have more facial fat?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "You don't know that, the few of us used the ones prepared by Zhuxiu girl herself, whoever is missing, Qingjin will not be short. The day Miss Lin left, she was still in the dark. I just came here to clean up, I was still wondering, who knew Miss Lin left in such a hurry, Zhu Xiu was busy packing things for Qingjin... That's what happened to my sister. Ask Qingjin for me, and spare her a box , you’ll know once you wipe it off, it’s much better than the ones you bought outside.”

Qingwen became more and more dispirited, and said: "You have been so busy all day, you don't know yet. Now Qingjin is no longer a lonely ghost. I don't know if it is her aunt or aunt who came here. I heard that it is near the root of Beiwai City. After settling down, my wife showed her kindness, and on the thirteenth day, she even asked her family to have a banquet. Now it seems that I can’t compare with a daughter born at home, and even if I bought it from outside, I can’t compare with it.”

Yuanyang spat and stepped forward to push her: "Second Master Bao has also gone to the wife's courtyard, you just go to Qing Jinwan, and when he comes back you follow him, that's all, why are there so many lies."

Qingwen just got up, Yuanyang watched her go, and sighed secretly.She naturally knew what Qingwen said, but she had doubts in her heart, always suspecting that Qingjin's relatives were fake, and that the girl Zhuxiu had left behind for Qingjin.If not, if there is no such a coincidence, the relatives will come to the door after Zhuxiu's girl walks away. How rare can a daughter who has been sold at home be valued?Not everyone can have the good fortune of Zhuxiu girl.

Forget it, anyway, the masters don't know what's going on in their maid group, so Qingjin is lucky to have a sister who really cares about her.They are all good people who don't try their best to the men in the family, and I am happy to see them gradually have a future, so why bother to expose and harm others.

Yuanyang thought, and still went to the stage in the garden to serve Jiamu.Jia Amnesty ruled good tea and good wine. Jia Zheng ordered Jia Lian to find a group of small opera actors and a group of ten fan drums. The two brothers honored Jia's mother together. The grandma and girls under the sun had a good day together.

Jia Zheng didn't like to listen to operas and was afraid of people making a fuss, so he never came.Jia Shexin got a chicken oil jelly field Huangshi Zhangzi written by a great writer in the former dynasty, and hid in his study to appreciate it, but never came.The two wives of King Xing have a lot of things to do in their later years, so they have already asked for leave.Therefore, at Jiamu's place, Jiamu took the seat, and Aunt Xue sat with her. On both sides, Xiangyun, Baochai, and Sanchun sisters each had a small case. amazing.

"It's hard for the old lady to like her so much, and she's willing to show her face. It's also a good idea to watch all the children and grandchildren having fun. It's just that, no one can do without that little ancestor. Where did Baoyu go?" Sister Feng saw the mandarin duck coming up. , hurriedly grabbed her and asked quietly.

Yuanyang pointed to the west, and whispered back: "For some reason, my wife caught a cold, and I didn't ask a doctor. I just took the existing pills and sweated. It's not good to disturb the old lady during the new year." Jin Chuaner Quietly come and tell Second Master Bao that Second Master Bao went to his wife's place early in the morning. Anyway, the reunion banquet in the evening will definitely be there. It's okay to have grandma and girls to accompany you at this time. If the old lady asks , Second Mistress will help cover it up."

Sister Feng smiled: "That's all, you come up quickly! Everyone is sitting on a chair and calling for orders. They are all enjoying the blessings. I am the only one who is working hard. Come and help me."

Yuanyang looked at it and asked, "Where's Pinger?"

Sister Feng sighed: "I asked her to deliver something to my wife, but this little hoof disappeared when I let go of my hand, and I couldn't go back because I was too greedy to play on time."

Yuanyang glanced at her and said, "With such a loyal and capable arm, the second mistress is not enough. I have no time to follow you all year round, so I should let her relax for a day."

Talking and laughing, they came to Jiamu to serve together.

Ping'er was not talking in Qingjin's room, since that year when Sister Feng gave birth to her eldest sister, Ping'er had become acquainted with sisters Zhu Xiu and Qingjin.When the fifteen-year-old comes to his wife's place, there is no reason why he should not stop in her room.While talking, Qingwen also rushed in, first talking about Yuanyang wanting facial fat.

Qingjin took out a small box from the kang cabinet, and saw that there were four or five boxes inside, and one person had to give one, and there were also mandarin ducks.Qingwen opened the white porcelain box and smelled it, dipped a little on her fingertips, and applied it on her hands. It was really moist and smooth, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "I didn't know that you have such good things, and you have the nerve to look at us for nothing in the past." Fooling with those bought outside?"

Ping'er laughed and said: "Usu is a tricky little hoof, he is so good when he gets it cheap! This thing is made by Zhu Xiu alone, it's easy for you. I advise you to put it away and save some smearing. It’s so hard, but spring ringworm is no joke, it’s useful to have this.”

As she said that, she had already rolled up her box sleeves, although she was not lacking, but who knew when Zhuxiu girl would come back.

Qingjin smiled and said: "I was talking about Xiuxiu just now, but you thought I was too long-winded, so you don't want to mention it. Now you're recruiting me again, can you tell me that I can't mention my embroidery?"

Pointing at Qing Jin, Ping Lie scolded with a smile: "I've only been here for a long time, but my ears are getting callused! Now that you have relatives, you should get close and close. This is what you can rely on in the future." Xindao, your aunt came here very much, and even specially gave a gift to our grandma. Seeing what grandma means, when Qingjin grows up, if the wife has no other arrangements here, she will probably be released to her aunt .I heard that there is a cousin in her aunt's family, and she will not worry about life even more.

Qing Jin smiled and rolled her eyes: Miss Lin left too quickly, although Xiu'er was able to follow, she was still stuck here; Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin didn't get along well before, it would be inappropriate to ask the Lin family to come forward to ask for her , so it was entrusted to Xiu'er's uncle.This aunt was bought by Uncle Cheng's family to look after the yard of Mammy Zhu's house. With this 'relative', there was someone to take care of her, and secondly, she had made plans in advance so that she could redeem herself free.

-

Qingjin was chatting and laughing here, but Qingwen forgot to look outside. She didn't even know that Jia Baoyu had gone to her house.

Jia Baoyu went back to the upper courtyard and saw an old plum plant beside the veranda.

Unexpectedly, there was a strong draft in the hall, and the pink flowers fell with the wind. Jia Baoyu's nose was sour, "I was originally 'lonely and unrepentant', but I was still 'the wind does not understand', and it was so devastated..." I thought of Daiyu for a while , is also as ruthless and excessive as this flower, and it is even more boring.He could not hear the babbling sound of Xiaoxi from far away, so he picked up his feet and walked into the room, unlike the old days when he went to listen to the opera and laugh with his sisters.

Bihen has a heart, although she also plays with other girls, but she always puts half of her heart on it.After finally catching a glimpse of Qiao Zong'er, she recalled the appearance of Baoyu and Xiren that day in her mind, and blushed quietly. She only used an excuse to push the two old ladies who were together farther away. She went into the house and found Baoyu in front of her. Get it now.

Jia Baoyu was lazy and bored, so Bihen said: "Second Master is bored, shall I bring you some tea and fruit?"

Baoyu said: "Forget it, Qin Xianggong brought a small altar of good daughter red that day, and I don't know where your Xiren sister put it. If you find that, I will eat it warmer..."

Baoyu ate two mouthfuls of her old daughter Hong, and cried her daughter's heartless words.Bihen flattered her and ate a cup with her. She speculated on Baoyu's thoughts, pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and said many frivolous words, and Baoyu, who was teasing, even seduced her as her confidant for a while.

As the saying goes, wine is a sex matchmaker.The two of them talked and cried and laughed and laughed, so they got into trouble together.

... At the time of fun, unexpectedly, a little girl of Jiamu's rough envoy bumped into it headfirst.

She was going to the other side of the garden with her, and Jia's mother was just in time to watch the play, but she couldn't see Baoyu, so she was not satisfied.The little girl saw that Zhu Xiu followed Miss Lin back to the south, and she didn't know when she would be able to return. The old lady might want to make up for the older girl. Although she didn't get into the first class, she was liked by the old lady, and there might be hope for the second class.So he sneaked away to look for Baoyu while people were not paying attention.She searched for it like a fly without a head for a long while, but she couldn't find it. She wanted to throw it away, but she was afraid of being scolded by her elder sister, so she thought of going into Second Master Bao's room to try it out.

Although Jia Baoyu's room is a hot stove, no one else can go there. A little girl like this is not worthy of entering here.The little girl tiptoed into the outer room, she was so resplendent that her eyes couldn't see it.Seeing that it was quiet in the outer room, but there were some noises from inside, she gently opened the door—“Ah——!”

If you were a woman of a certain age and experience, you would know that it is most taboo to be frightened at this time, but this is a little girl who doesn't know anything.She shouted that it didn't matter if her throat was broken, but Jia Baoyu, who was tired, was greatly frightened.

Fortunately, there was almost no one in the upper house at this time, and all of Jiamu's maids went to serve, and only an elderly woman who didn't like to move was brought in.

She saw that Bihen was putting on his clothes in a hurry. Although Second Master Bao was covered with a quilt, there were clothes underneath.Knowing it immediately, she slapped the yelling little girl on her back, and cursed at Bihen: "Shameless little whore, if Second Lord Bao has something good or bad, you don't have to live!"

Only then did Bihen realize that Baoyu was in a daze, his eyes were straightened, and he was terribly frightened, so he went forward to push him desperately.

Jia Baoyu's nature is weak and weak, and it was too early to achieve good things with Xiren, but in October last year, he became good friends with Qin Zhong, who was spoiled at home and spoiled at home, and it was even worse.Now after drinking and messing around with Bihen, people are a little confused who can't stand the shock.

When Bihen pushed, not only did he not respond, even saliva leaked from the corner of his mouth.Scaring the old woman half to death, she rushed up to pinch Bihen and pulled her down from the kang.

This white woman is old and has not been run over, so she resigns from the old man and often goes to the table to wipe the dominoes with Jia Mu, so you can tell that she has some knowledge and insight.Immediately, he pushed the little girl and Bihen into Xiangyun's Bisha closet, and said angrily: "If you two continue to yell, you will make a big fuss and provoke people, I guarantee that your family will die! "

After finishing speaking, he tied the door from the outside with a sweat towel on the ground, covered Jia Baoyu with a quilt, and rushed out the door.Just as Qingwen came back to find her, Mrs. Bai knew that she couldn't hide this from the people in Baoyu's house, so she immediately grabbed Qingwen and told her to go back to the old lady quietly.

Qingwen's face was sallow, angry and hated, her brain was buzzing, she couldn't care about anything else, so she could only run to the stage.

When he got to the front, he didn't dare to open his mouth to tell Jia's mother directly. After thinking about it again and again, he quietly called Yuanyang and told her.

Yuanyang's face was purple with embarrassment and fear, and she pointed at Qingwen angrily, unable to speak. After all, she didn't dare to delay, so she could only whisper back in Jiamu's ear.

Jia's mother knew that Baoyu had grown up before, and she had expected in her heart that children would be greedy like cats, and that day would come.After hearing what Yuanyang said, although I thought it was a little early, I didn't know that Baoyu was frightened, so I wasn't too angry.Just ask: "Who is it? How bold."

After a pause, he said again: "Don't make a fuss, carefully embarrass his face." In the end, he couldn't rest assured, because he said to Aunt Xue: "I just asked my aunt to take a day off, and those people are born to steal. Come on, it's all because of being too generous on weekdays. Auntie, let's take a look at it first, I'll go and return it once, and we girls have a drink and wipe the cards, and have fun once."

In this deep house compound, servants often stole the master's belongings. Aunt Xue only thought that important things had been stolen, so she hurriedly stood up to send Jiamu off.

Jia's mother only asked their sisters to go to the theater with their concubine, and she came back all the way holding Yuanyang's hand.

When I walked into the house, I realized that Baoyu's body was hot, and he had a high fever. He couldn't even feed water, and he couldn't hear him when he called, and he just talked nonsense.

Mother Jia was so frightened that she shook her clothes and trembled, and she couldn't help crying with a sound of "meat".

The white woman told what she saw, which made Jia's mother gnash her teeth in anger, wishing she could kill those two immediately.

After all, it is the old ancestor for many years. On the one hand, Mother Jia ordered the imperial physician to be called urgently, and on the other hand, she asked Yuanyang Qingwen to imprison Bihen and them in the clean room.

For a while, everyone was startled. They all knew that there was a girl who was stealing while Jia Mu was away, pretending to be a ghost, but who knew that it shocked the soul of Master Bao.So all the daughters-in-law and girls in the family came here to watch.

Jia Mu was upset, and she thanked Baoyu for not being able to disturb Baoyu, and sent it out.Only Mrs. Wang stayed behind, crying so much.

Seeing Qingwen, she slapped her head and slapped her: "In the past, I would beat and scold the little girl, she's a big deal! Why don't you stay here to watch the house when Xiren is not here today, when you are needed, instead Went out for a while! Your second master, who has been implicated, was frightened, let him heal, and see who I can spare!"

Qingwen was terribly wronged, but she didn't dare to explain, so she had to kneel down.When Yuanyang saw this, she was the one who persuaded Qingwen to go out, half of the reasons were on her body, but Mrs. Wang was so angry that she didn't dare to tell, so she had to kneel down too.

Just when Jia's mother wanted to tell her the truth, seeing that Mrs. Wang had become angry with Qingwen, she couldn't help being angry that she didn't know the severity, and Baoyu didn't know what to do here.

After hearing the whole story, Mrs. Wang's benevolent eyebrows almost stood upside down, and she wanted to beat and kill immediately.

There was a lot of chatter, and he turned back outside: "The imperial doctor is here."

Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang said please hurry up, and they didn't say anything else, and they didn't care to avoid it, they just cried around.

After the doctor's examination, after a few needles, Jia Baoyu closed his eyes and fell asleep.Delighted, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang went straight to recite the Buddha's name, but saw that the imperial doctor in sixth-grade clothes frowned, and hurriedly asked, "But it's not good?"

The imperial doctor didn't dare to raise his head, so he invited An Cai again and said, "It's okay to be frightened and lose your mind for a while. I'll write a prescription here, and take one dose according to the prescription. If the fever hasn't subsided, you can take another Take one dose, no more than three doses, and the fever will be gone. That person will be able to wake up..."

Mother Jia's heart skipped a beat, and she heard the imperial doctor say again: "It's just that my brother's spleen yang is weak and kidney yang is affected. He was frightened suddenly, and the death was frightened. Fear will cause Qi to drop and kidney qi to be injured, so... fortunately My brother is still young, he needs to be carefully adjusted and raised, and maybe he can recover when he grows up."

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang felt like lightning, and only asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription, but the imperial doctor shook his head and said, "Brother, it's not good to take medicine, so we have to take time to recuperate before we can turn around. "

The imperial doctor has practiced medicine for many years, and he can guess such things without asking, so he earnestly instructed: "If the emotions are not satisfied, the liver qi will be stagnated; if the liver fails to dredge and the wood is out of order, it will make the situation worse. Mrs. Tai, Madam, please comfort my brother! My brother is not very old, if he can make him not depressed because of this matter, it is better not to worry about it, and he will not be tired and cold on weekdays. Take good care of him, and the weak crown will be promising. It can be as good as [-] to [-]%."

Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang didn't rush to give instructions, but specially sealed 500 taels of silver and sent it out. Naturally, the imperial doctor didn't say anything wrong.

Mrs. Wang cried like tears, and then quietly asked Zhou Rui's family to invite a doctor who was sitting in the hall. The doctor's diagnosis was not different from that of the imperial physician.Haosheng sent it out and took money to stop her mouth. Mrs. Wang wanted to call for a clever person, but she was stopped by Jia Mu.

After sitting in a daze for a long time, Mother Jia said: "The imperial doctors said that we have a good birth, and that when Baoyu is crowned, it will be [-]% better. You must know that these imperial doctors are used to talking about serious illnesses. If he dares to say that, he must not stop Seventy percent, our Baoyu has a great fortune, and we will definitely be better!... The imperial doctor said, don't scare the child, let alone let the child be depressed because of this! You mother, why don't you hurry up? What if you wake him up and see it?"

This is very true, Mrs. Wang hurriedly called the girl in to serve her.For some reason, Jin Chuan'er and Caiyun were sent out after serving Mrs. Wang's grooming and grooming tremblingly.

Jia's mother looked at Yuanyang and Qingwen, and the two immediately swore that they would not let others know the story inside.

Jia's mother asked Qingwen to let Bihen out again, and she had something to say when she brought her here.

Mrs. Wang refused 1 times, and Jia's mother resented: "He is so sick that you are going to stab him. His illness is both frightening and embarrassing. Keep that girl, he Seeing that we don't care about it, our hearts can be more relaxed! Besides, with this girl here, I just asked her to tell Baoyu that her own fate was strange and she collided with Baoyu, which made Baoyu, Baoyu..." Jia Mu wiped it away. From the corner of his eyes, he said again: "Minger will be frightened by Baoyu, and invite Taoist Zhang to do two rituals. He only said that old fairy Zhang broke the bad life of that girl, but the collision has to be recuperated slowly."

As soon as Jia's mother said it, Mrs. Wang understood: the year before last, there was a concubine from a family who committed a crime, and the master of the family who violated it was useless. Broken, because this incident is quite strange, there is an uproar.It took a year for the old man to recover. At the end of last year, the old man recovered, and went to Jinxiangyuan with great fanfare to hire a sister...

Mother Jia gritted her teeth and said with a sneer, "That girl's life is even worse, so Baoyu has to take care of her slowly. After a year or two, Baoyu will stop paying attention to her. She will be beaten and killed. There are too many reasons to deal with it. Late!"

There were only mandarin ducks and one servant in the room, hearing this, I felt chills all over my body, and couldn't help shivering.

The next day, Bihen still came back.Bihen thought it was inevitable that she would die, but when all her thoughts were lost, she was about to bite the attacker regardless.Unexpectedly, it was released again, and she was so grateful that she spared no effort for Jia's mother's instructions.

Only the little girl named Po was sent away as a thief who frightened Baoyu from stealing.Yuanyang didn't even dare to inquire, and the strange thing is that no information about the whereabouts of this little girl's family came in.

Another white lady who acted properly was rewarded a lot, and she went home to be raised after solving the matter.

Do you know who this white woman is? She is the mother of Jin Chuan'er and Yin Chuan'er, and everyone calls her the old white wife.After receiving this reward, she kept her mouth shut even more, but she made up her mind in her heart that she must suppress her daughter Jin Chuansheng's thoughts.Mrs. Pian Wang acted like she was guarding against thieves, and guarded her very strictly. She was afraid to tell her daughter that her petty person had shown her traces in front of his wife, so she covered it up and kept preaching to suppress Jin Chuan'er.

If Jia's mother wants to be thoughtful and rigorous in doing things, she is naturally incomparable to others.Taoist Zhang came to do two rituals, Bihen's own statement, and the appearance of the flower god, and the rumors about the old man outside were boiling again... Jia Baoyu didn't believe it at first, but every day, he Thinking of the dream of the police fairy in Ning's mansion that day, she took it seriously.

Perhaps there is also a reason for his reluctance to believe that he is useless, but on the bright side, Jia Baoyu's spirit is indeed getting better day by day.

After the first lunar month, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang didn't want him to go home to study, but they were afraid that he would think too much. Except that there were more people serving, the rest was not much different from the past.

-

But here in Yangzhou, Lin Ruhai knew Yang Lin's deeds, and he was very grateful: "Fortunately, Young Boy is cautious and bold! If you are not careful, I am afraid that this thing will be let go from under our noses. If you are not bold, how can you agree immediately? Two thousand silver will buy it! God bless... If I change someone else, I'm afraid your master and I will die."

In the early spring of this year, Lin Ruhai and Daiyu's father and daughter put aside everything and lived a peaceful and peaceful year.
