Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Originally, Jia Rong was going to take office after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and she didn't know what happened, but Qin Keqing fell ill again after the tenth day of the first lunar month, and the illness came on so quickly that she couldn't get up for a few days bed.

The imperial physicians in the imperial hospital changed one after another, but everyone said that Qin Keqing's illness was due to the fact that she had caught a cold just before, and then had a relapse.

Jia Rong had no choice but to go to the Ministry of Officials to cancel her appointment, and wait for this year's evaluation by the Ministry of Officials to see if there are any vacancies, but Qin Keqing fainted immediately after knowing the news.

When Jia Jing knew about it, he let go and completely ignored Jia Rong, and Jia Rong rarely complained to Qin Keqing.

As soon as she heard that she couldn't leave, she fainted. What did she think of Jia's house?

Seriously speaking, the Jia family treated Qin Keqing pretty well. If Qin Keqing had married into another family, she would have entered a Buddhist temple or died of illness with her embarrassing status. For?

Qin Keqing also had a hard time and couldn't tell, and Ruizhu tried to persuade her several times but failed to persuade her.

Qin Keqing gradually recovered from her illness, and Wang Xifeng also went to see her a few times with her stomach full, but later Qin Keqing saw that her illness had not recovered and refused to let Wang Xifeng see her, fearing that she would be overwhelmed.

In the East Mansion, Qin Keqing was still sick, and in the West Mansion, Jia Baoyu was also sick for some reason.

The news of Jia Baoyu's illness was much greater than that of Qin Keqing. Jia's mother, Wang, was watching every day, and the maids were crying every day.

Jia Baoyu suddenly started talking nonsense one night, and he became unconscious. He turned and threw things around the room, yelled and shouted, and after a few days of tossing around, he became haggard.

Sometimes when he returned to normal, he just wept, and grabbed the hand of Wang's Jiamu and asked them to abandon him to become a monk, saying that it was retribution.

The imperial physicians also came to see her, but they all shook their heads in the end, saying that they could not find out the cause of Jia Baoyu's illness, so they could only prescribe some calming medicine.

Seeing that Baoyu's health was getting worse and the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician was useless, Jia's mother and Wang began to pray to God and Buddha, hoping that Baoyu's illness would recover soon.

But Baoyu was still seriously ill, and now he couldn't even get out of bed. He just closed his eyes and talked nonsense, all of which were scriptures.

Now Jia Mu and Wang's family are not limited to those famous temple masters, even if they hear a bit famous witches on the street, they invite them here.

On this day, the mansion invited another Ma Daopo, who said that she often transits the women's families in Beijing on weekdays, so she is a bit of a Taoist.

Ma Daopo was really good, and when she saw Jia Baoyu, she frowned, "You are such a rich and noble son, why did you get murdered by a villain like this?"

After finishing speaking, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Wang, "Mix the pills inside with water and give it to Young Master Bao. Take one pill at a time, once a day, and you'll be fine in three days."

Xiren immediately brought water, Qingwen took out a pill and melted it, and served Baoyu with several other maids to drink it.

Not long after Baoyu drank the medicine, she woke up, and everyone was happy again. They also thanked Ma Daopo, and Baoyu also saluted Ma Daopo.

Ma Daopo smiled and said: "Master Bao just woke up, so there is no need to be polite. Master Bao has suffered this time, so don't forget to take a good rest afterward."

After hearing this, Wang asked Baoyu to lie down again.

But Mother Jia asked Ma Daopo, "It was said that Baoyu was killed by someone, so..."

Ma Daopo laughed, "I heard that Master Bao had invited everyone from the Imperial Hospital to see his illness before, but there was nothing to do in the end? In fact, it's not their fault. They learned medical skills, but the one among Master Bao is a witch." technique."

Jia Mu's expression darkened instantly, "So someone is really trying to harm my Baoyu?"

Ma Daopo nodded, "Yes, if you don't undo Master Bao's witchcraft, Master Bao will still be bad in the future."

Jia Mu immediately said, "Please take the trouble to unravel the witchcraft in Baoyu."

"It's natural," Ma Daopo said: "It's not difficult to unravel this witchcraft, as long as you find a medium to use witchcraft, and Master Bao has never recovered, and the medium will not be too far away from Master Bao."

Wang said anxiously: "Ma Daopo please set a distance."

Ma Daopo walked around the house a few times, went around the yard, and finally said: "The things are in this room."

Jia's mother and Wang's expression changed immediately, and Baoyu was helped to change rooms by someone, and then they began to search.

After searching carefully for a while, Musk Moon found something was sewn into Baoyu's pair of shoes. Qingwen quickly grabbed it and opened it, and took out a tightly folded note from inside.

When I opened it, I saw that there was a spell drawn on one side, but the birth date was written on the other side. When Wang saw it, she said it was Baoyu's birth date.

Ma Daopo nodded when she saw this piece of paper, "It should be this thing." After saying that, she asked someone to burn it, and asked the person who burned the paper when he was born.

Seeing that the note was burned, Jiamu and Wang relaxed, and then asked where the pair of shoes came from.

Maids, look at me and I look at you, but finally Qiuwen bit the bullet and said: "This was sent by Miss San a few days ago."

Let's talk about the time when Tanchun sent the shoes, wasn't it the day before Baoyu's illness?

Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were very angry, and Mrs. Wang immediately asked Tanchun to come.

Ma Daopo wondered, "It's a day late?"

Jia Mu looked at Ma Daopo, "But what's wrong?"

Ma Daopo said: "I recognize the spell, but it is the most vicious. Master Bao was able to delay the attack a day later, and persisted for so many days. I think there is a great blessing."

Wang thought of Tongling Baoyu for a moment, "Yes! Baoyu's jade!"

Mother Jia also thought of it, Ma Daopo saw this and said: "I have heard that Master Bao in the house is an extraordinary person. He was born out of jade at the beginning. Now it seems that it is true. I wonder if Xiaodao can also see this piece of jade. .”

Jia Mu agreed and sent someone to fetch the psychic jade.

Ma Daopo was amazed when she saw the psychic jade, and carefully held the jade up to look at the sun.

Ma Daopo put Yu down, "Hey, it's because of him that you were able to come to this world. Now that you've saved him from disaster, it's considered repayment. Go back, go back to where you should go."

Jia Mu and Wang's hearts were raised instantly, "What's the meaning of this?"

Ma Daopo motioned them to look at the jade to the sun, and the two discovered a thin crack in the middle of the psychic jade.

Ma Daopo said: "Master Bao is able to survive until now because of the protection of this jade. Now that the aura of this jade is exhausted, it will shatter soon, ashes to ashes, and dust to dust."

Jiamu and Wang immediately shed tears, and became more and more angry with Tanchun.

Tanchun anxiously followed the maid to Baoyu's yard, and as soon as she entered the house, Jiamu made her kneel down.

As soon as Tanchun knelt down, she saw a pair of shoes thrown in front of her.

Wang cried at the side: "I have treated you as my own all these years, and Baoyu has treated you very well, but I don't know that you are so vicious, and you can do such a vicious hand to Baoyu!"

Tanchun was stunned, "What are you talking about, mother? When did I harm Baoyu?"

Jia Mu said angrily: "How dare you quibble?! Did you give these shoes to Baoyu?!"

Tanchun looked at the almost dismantled pair of shoes on the ground, and it took him a while to recognize them, "I was the one who gave away Baoyu."

At this moment, Xiren stood up and told the story of finding out the talisman from here. After hearing this, Tanchun was dumbfounded, and immediately kowtowed: "The old ancestor Mingjian! I definitely did not harm Baoyu!"

But Jia's mother didn't believe it, "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, what else can you argue?! Why did you come out of our family with such a vicious person?!"

Tanchun knocked his head and said he didn't do it.

Xiren also stepped forward at this time, "Old lady, second lady, this servant is thinking, this should not be done by the third lady."

Everyone looked at her again, and Xiren continued: "The date of birth of Master Bao is written on the spell, but how does Miss San know this?"

Everyone was thoughtful, and Tanchun also thought about it quietly.

There are not many people in this mansion who know Jia Baoyu's birth date, count them one by one...

Tanchun's face turned pale in an instant, and she remembered that when she made these shoes, Aunt Zhao said something to her, saying that she didn't know how to make good things for her own brother, she was so flattering, she didn't even look at them. Seeing if other people lacked her pair of shoes, she was angry with her aunt for a few days after hearing this, and later her aunt reconciled with her and even helped her with a few stitches...

Tanchun stared at the ground, his mind went blank, but he said, "Old Ancestor, I admit that I did this."

But Wang didn't believe it, she also thought of Aunt Zhao, "You are talking nonsense! It is Aunt Zhao who cast the curse!"

Tanchun pinched his palm and didn't feel it, "Second wife, didn't you say that I did it before? Why did you say it was my aunt who did it now? You know, my aunt doesn't know Baoyu's birthday ..."

Wang looked at her, "Then it's impossible for you to know! How easy it is for her to know, there are many opportunities to serve the master on weekdays!"

Tanchun said: "I can! Baoyu never fortified me. It's just the horoscope of my birthday. Ask him and he will tell me. What's so strange?"

"Ha——" Tanchun looked up at Mrs. Wang, "I didn't expect to be discovered by you so soon. It's a pity. If it takes a few more days, the matter will be settled."

Wang looked at her quietly for a while, and said with a sneer: "At this time, you admit it. You are filial to your aunt and want to take the blame for her? You said it was Baoyu who told you his birth date, don't you know? Baoyu himself I don't know either."

After Wang finished speaking, she didn't care about Tanchun's reaction, and asked Aunt Zhao to be arrested directly.

Aunt Zhao refused to admit it even after she was arrested, she cried out for being wronged, and even called her master repeatedly.

"Then according to your wish, come and call Zheng'er." Jia Mu sat upright and spoke, with no expression of joy or anger on her face, "Go and call Jia Huan here."

When everyone arrived, Mother Jia waved her hand, "Hit! When Aunt Zhao is willing to tell the truth, Jia Bi and Jia Huan won't have to be beaten."

Aunt Zhao suddenly panicked, "Is the old lady trying to torture you?"

Mother Jia ignored her and only asked people to do it.

Listening to the wailing of Tanchun and Jia Huan, it didn't take long for Aunt Zhao to plead guilty.

Jia's mother looked at her indifferently, "But I was tortured into a trick?"

Aunt Zhao smiled wryly, and explained the matter in detail.

It turned out that she had been complaining to Jia Baoyu all these years. If it wasn't for him, Jia Huan would have been taken seriously. It turned out to be fine, but in the past one or two years, the Wang family has been more harsh on Tanchun and Jia Huan, and her resentment has also increased day by day. Watching Tanchun make shoes for Baoyu every day, the hatred can no longer be stopped.

Aunt Zhao explained in detail how she got the charm and how she stuffed it into her shoes, "As for Baoyu's birth date, I found out from the master by accident."

Mother Jia asked someone to investigate immediately, and sure enough, everything she said to Aunt Zhao was right.

Wang couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and kicked Aunt Zhao, "Why are you so vicious, if you are vicious, it will be against me, why bother to harm my Baoyu?!"

Aunt Zhao didn't dodge or dodge, and laughed when she heard the words, "Isn't Baoyu the most important thing to you?! You won't feel better if you hurt him!"

Jia's mother turned to look at Jia Zheng and said, "Zheng'er, such a poisonous woman, do you want to keep her?"

Jia Zheng saluted and said, "Follow mother's handling of everything."

Mother Jia nodded, "Tell me what I said, from today onwards, there will be no Aunt Zhao, mother and son in my Jia family! Don't forget to tell me at the East Mansion that what needs to disappear will disappear."
