[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

"Are you serious about what you said?" Wang Xifeng looked up at Jia Lian, frowned and said, "If this is the case, then this matter will be very difficult. You should go and inquire again, lest you mistake this."

Jia Lian nodded, got down from the kang, put on his shoes and said, "Go to the second wife and tell me, after all, she is from the Wang family."

Wang Xifeng nodded, and followed suit to put on his shoes.

Seeing Jia Lian walking out, she couldn't help shouting, "Second Master, you have to take time to see Qiaojie. Qiaojie has been feeling unwell for the past two days. It must be caused by her illness last time."

Hearing this, Jia Lian nodded, "Understood."

Wang Xifeng didn't delay, so she called Shang Ping'er and went to Mrs. Wang's residence, so as not to delay the matter due to someone calling back later.

The new year has just passed, and this year is much more deserted than previous years. Not to mention the continuous singing on the stage, the sisters recite poems and poems, and even the old lady who has always been keen on this matter is just the host. with.

The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became, and I couldn't help but quicken my steps.

"Why is Second Mistress here? I'll go in and tell my wife, who is—"

"I have something important to do, I'll go in by myself." Wang Xifeng waved her hand, helped Ping'er go straight in, bypassed the curtain, and saw Mrs. Wang sitting as if she was about to copy a book, so she quickly gave Ping'er a wink, and asked Caiyun went outside and sat down.

Seeing Wang Xifeng like this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help frowning, "But what happened to the house? Could it be Baoyu—"

"Madam, don't worry, it's not Baoyu's business, it's - our family's elder is gone on the way back to Beijing, two hundred miles away from the capital."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang was stunned, and the hand that fiddled with the Buddha beads stopped, and she was speechless for a while.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng hurriedly shouted: "Madam? Don't scare me. The second master told me about this when he came back last night. Madam doesn't know about it? The second master doesn't know either?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head: "Master didn't mention it last night. I'll ask him again tonight. Is your news true?"

"Second Master said that he heard it from Mr. Zhang, the privy envoy. I can't think of it wrong."

Having said this, how could Mrs. Wang not be sad, tears fell down, so she had to force Wang Xifeng to go back and tell Jia Lian, after finding out the cause of the matter, she took someone to deal with the funeral.

After sending Wang Xifeng away, Mrs. Wang fell to her desk and wept. She guessed that Jia Zheng should have known about it, but she was just hiding it from her on purpose. The more she thought about it, the more sad she became. .

"Is the emperor really planning to do this?"

"That's what the people from the palace said, my lord, since Mr. Jia has been inspected by the Jiangxi Liang Dao, and the Holy Majesty has reused it, you don't need to live in Jia's mansion."

"I want you to talk more."

Ji Yuanlan sent Dongfu out, got up and paced back and forth in the room.Apart from extravagance, Jia's mansion didn't have any major affairs. Compared with the ones he had seen before, it was very innocent.

During these days Jia Zheng has been a man, he has noticed that he is humble, kind, courteous and corporal, except that he is not suitable for being an official, but he is a good friend to make friends with.

He lowered his head and sighed, no matter how much he delayed leaving Jia's mansion, he couldn't delay Jia Zheng's appointment.

Turn around and go out, congratulate Jia Zheng first before making any plans.

It was getting colder in the first month, and Zijuan sent another pot of charcoal to the room, put it behind the wall and went to the far side of the bed to set up a window to prevent the room from being too stuffy.

"Don't be too busy, come and talk to me for a while."

"What's the matter? The girl is in high spirits today, and she still pulls me to talk? Is it because Prince Ji didn't come today?" Zijuan teased, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so as not to offend her thin-skinned girl again. , hurriedly changed the subject and said: "A lot of things happened in succession these days, the eldest girl just went there a while ago, and the elder brother of the second wife's family also went two days ago."

"what happened?"

"It is said that he got sick in Shilitun, outside the capital city. He took the wrong medicine and wasted time. After one dose of medicine, he died soon after. The second master at the old man's place took care of the matter." Zijuan pulled Daiyu over. His hands were not as cold as before before he was relieved, "But the second master has received the grace of God and said that he is going to Jiangxi."

Daiyu was startled, although she and Jia Zheng were not seen often, but whenever she was ill or it was her birthday, Jia Zheng would either come in person or have someone bring her something.

Now that she has received the grace to go to Jiangxi to take up the post, she only hopes that she can come back safely and live up to the holy will.

"I'll go see my uncle tomorrow." Daiyu looked at Zijuan, and wanted to ask Baoyu if she had been behind her back these days, but after thinking about it, since she had the thought of breaking up her relationship, why bother to provoke her again? He pressed his mind and found something else to say to Zicuckoo.

It was almost noon, and Daiyu was a little sleepy. Seeing the sleepy look on her face, Zijuan got up and went out, wanting to give Daiyu something to eat before she went to sleep, otherwise she couldn't eat like this, how could she get better.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw the attacker rushing in, with a look of anxiety on his face, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"What's wrong with your rushing look? Are you impatient?"

"It's not that the fire is imminent. Since the second master came here that night, after returning home, I have been confused and not sober. It looks heavier than when Yu lost it. I don't know what I got here. It looks the same as that time. Even Miss Bao is not sober when she comes, even though she recognizes people, she just cries and doesn’t care about anyone.” Xiren said with tears streaming down his face, “You don’t have to hurry up and see! The wife and the old lady know, Sad in that room."

When Zicuckoo heard it, she was afraid that Daiyu in the room would hear it, so she hurriedly dragged the attacker to the side, "Don't let my girl hear it, she is in good health, and she should be angry after hearing this, you go back first, After a while, I explained to Xueyan and went over to have a look."

"I believe you once, you can hurry up, don't delay any more."

"I know."

After coaxing the attacker away, Zijuan just turned around and saw Daiyu standing at the door, her face was pale, she screamed inwardly and hurried forward to help Daiyu.

She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything to comfort her, she knew that Daiyu might have taken the whole matter into her own hands.

"Girl, don't worry, I'll go and have a look at the second master's place. Don't go at this time."

"No! I, I'd better go and have a look!" Daiyu gritted her teeth and looked at Zijuan, "I'll go by myself, don't follow me."

"Girl!" Zijuan was anxious, but she always understood Daiyu's temper, so she could only stay anxious and watch Daiyu go out.

Xueyan came out of the kitchen and saw Zijuan stomping and hammering on the spot, knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly said: "What, what's the matter?"

"Oh, you can be regarded as coming out. Hurry up and invite the prince. Also, remember to tell the prince that the girl has gone to the second master Bao."

Hearing this, Xueyan nodded and walked out. When she met Wang Momo on the road, she didn't care to speak, and went out of the Grand View Garden.

There must be time, otherwise her girl might not be able to survive this time.

Zijuan sighed, she managed to hide this matter, who knew that when the attacker came, she would know everything, wouldn't this kill her girl?

As soon as she reached the Qinfang Pavilion, Daiyu stopped where she was, knowing that as soon as she showed up, things would get out of control, Baoyu went crazy, and she caused it twice, how could she stay in Jia's mansion.

He could coax him last time, but this time a lot of things happened in the house, so how could he not take it to heart.

"Second Master has made the Xiaoxiang Pavilion miserable this time. You said Miss Lin was ill, and that person couldn't get out of bed. Second Master went and bumped into a wall and came back. I don't know what to think."

"Who knows, but Miss Lin has always looked down on vulgar people like us. She speaks normally and is not flattering. She only picks on other people's pain points, so the second master and the old lady treat her as a treasure. Who makes the old lady like her? Second master I also like it, and even the Xiaoxiang Pavilion is given to her.”

"The old lady may not be partial to anyone. Besides, Miss Lin is important to the second master in the heart of the old lady? The second master is going to take office after the first month. The old lady and the wife have discussed to welcome Miss Bao into the door before the master leaves. Grandpa is overjoyed."

Daiyu came out from behind the rockery, looked at the maid who was carrying two cups of soup away, and felt that there was no warmth anywhere in her body, and a chill rose from the soles of her feet.

She lowered her head and smiled suddenly, she had come to this point, what was she going to do, but it was annoying.

Turn around and go in the direction you came and go.

"...Girl, isn't that Miss Lin? Why did you go back?" Cui Mo asked in surprise, "Why didn't you go in to see the second master?"

Tan Chun was preoccupied with Baoyu's illness, so he was walking too fast to look around. Hearing Cuimo's words, he raised his eyes and saw Daiyu's usual red cloak disappearing at the end of the path.

It's really Sister Lin.

Can't help but stop, "Don't talk too much when you go in later, the wife has already made up her mind, and the matter of Sister Bao and Second Brother has been settled, and nothing will happen in this critical time."

"understood."

Glancing there again, Tanchun sighed and helped Cuimo into the Yihong Courtyard.

Zijuan, who had been waiting impatiently in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, couldn't wait any longer, so she got up and went out—she couldn't care less about making Daiyu angry, if she really fainted on the way, she would regret her death.

As soon as I left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I saw Daiyu walking over, I was stunned for a moment, and went to meet Daiyu to gather the cloak, "Go back to the room first, it will be warmer."

Daiyu seemed to have just recovered, staring at Zijuan.

"girl?"

"...Go and pack the things that Baoyu sent, and send them over later when everyone in his room has left, and then give him a message."

"I'll clean up in a while."

Seeing Daiyu's face, Zijuan felt uneasy - there is something wrong with this expression and complexion, it was pale just now, but now it looks like...

She kept on stepping, and when she walked into the room, a feeling of warmth came over her. Daiyu let Zijuan pull her to sit by the bed, warmed her hands and feet, and called Xueyan to come in and serve her.

"Tell him, if he really doesn't want to live anymore, I'll go down with him, and save my uncle and grandmother from worrying about their age."

"Girl!" Zijuan burst into tears when she heard the unlucky words, "Don't say that, your birthday will be in a few days, why bother to say such unlucky words!"

Xueyan burst into tears, trembling with the hands that were tidying Daiyu's quilt.

Daiyu stared at Zijuan's red eyes, her throat suddenly felt a little hot, and she felt a fishy sweetness rushing up, she coughed fiercely, and fell back.

"Girl! Girl!"

"Where is the person you invited! Why don't you see anyone!"

"I went, the guy next to the lord said that the lord went to the second master, and I went to the second master, but there was no one there, so I had to go back and ask him to remember that the lord told me what happened here after he came back, I—"

Seeing Xueyan crying, Zijuan couldn't speak well, so she hurriedly covered Daiyu with a quilt, pinched the palm of her hand, and kept rubbing her hands and feet, "What are you doing here, go and invite the doctor!"

Xueyan came back to her senses, got up from the ground, stumbled and ran out.

Her girl can't go like this!
