Yucuo of the Red Chamber

"Sister Youran's name is pretty good too." Xue Yan came out afterward, clapping her hands and laughing, "I think the girl's illness is getting better, and she can see Nanshan, so she can be at ease."

"Didn't I let you look at the yard, why did you come out?" Daiyu said.

"Probably returned the gift to Miaoyu. Could it be that the girl forgot?" Eunuch Chen laughed.

"What my father-in-law said is that the girl doesn't know what's going on in her head now, and she forgets what she said in a while. I will come back after I have been there, and I don't dare to waste time." Xueyan smiled and hurried away.Jiang Daiyu was so angry that she blushed first.

What Xueyan said was true. Since the Buddha left, Daiyu was happy and laughed at times, stood by the window for a while, and wanted to read a book again; but after reading for a long time, she didn't hear her turn a few pages.Seeing Miaoyu send someone to send late-blooming spring plums, she didn't come to her senses for a long time, and then asked Xueyan to send her two scriptures, but now she forgot.It's just about Daiyu and Buddha, she is the only one who knows two points, so she dare not talk nonsense like this, leaking the news, especially from the princess, so as not to face it in the future.

Eunuch Chen seemed to notice it, but he couldn't say for certain, and it was too late for him to help cover up how much he had explained to the princess, so he would talk too much, I'm afraid he would have to explain to Xueyan when he went back, telling her to do it next time.

Walking and watching in this way, all the people had a general appreciation of the spring scenery of the garden. When they came to the door, they saw that Zijuan was really waiting there, so they all came to Jia Mu's room.Jia Mu put on the plaster and sat on the couch outside. The musk smell of the whole room was actually light and delicate, which was very refreshing.At this time, dinner was approaching, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were also sitting here, and the people in the room started talking and laughing at some point.Mrs. Wang suppressed her temper, and it was inconvenient to argue about Zhou Rui's family matter; Jia's mother didn't pursue it too much, there was no need to add trouble to herself for a servant.Besides, she has a reason, Madam Wang's beating or not is her business, so don't worry about it.

"I've seen my grandmother, these are rewarded by the empress dowager, I don't know if they are suitable for use, my grandmother will keep them for now." Daiyu asked Zijuan to give some medicines to Yuanyang, while replying.

Yuanyang took it and saw that it was a thousand-year-old ginseng, already somewhat human-shaped, another high-quality ganoderma lucidum, and a few boxes of ice flakes, all of which were high-quality medicinal materials. His face was beaming, but his heart was a little disdainful.

Jiamu looked at the mandarin duck's hand, then took Daiyu to sit beside her, put her arms around her and said, "Yu'er is still the most filial, she is willing to give such a good thing to grandma, and grandma doesn't love you for nothing. "

"Back to the old lady, the eldest girl is considerate and filial, the old lady is really lucky." Mrs. Xing Youshi praised non-stop.Now the mansion is not as good as it used to be, ginseng like this is very rare, and seeing that Daiyu gave it out so lightly, and when she came back in the morning, she gave everyone good things, although it was only a few things, But the stuff is there, decently.

After everyone praised her once, Mrs. Wang said leisurely: "Go back to the old lady, since Qingwen went to Baoyu's house, no one has been added, and now Xiren is sick, and Baoyu has no one to take care of." Besides, when Baochai came here, she only brought Yinger, a big girl, and now she is still in charge of the house, which is not enough."

When Mrs. Wang said this sentence suddenly, everyone was stunned for a moment, wondering what she meant?

Jia Mu thought for a moment, then said lightly: "Baoyu still has five or six big maids. He hasn't done anything now, so it should be enough. Baoyu's wife can help you with housekeeping, so why not use those maids? "

Mrs. Wang replied: "There are only a few girls in Baoyu's house who are more virtuous than Xiren, but they have been ill. Baoyu is not well now and needs more care. Those girls can't be reassuring and can't serve them. If Talking about Baochai, at least three or five girls are enough. Not to mention Feng girl, there are five or six girls, and now the eldest girl also has five or six servants. If outsiders find out, they may say that we bully the new daughter-in-law Son; and don't say that Baochai is too busy in the house, the servants may think that she is not welcome, so they will deliberately neglect her, so it will be difficult to give orders, and the family may not be in control."

Hearing her speak out in an orderly manner, everyone was startled, and they didn't know whether she was running on Daiyu or Sister Feng, or trying to win some favors for Baochai.Daiyu sat there and just didn't know; Baochai stood at Sister Feng's hands, with a calm face and unpredictable depth.Jia Mu was trembling with anger, and her arms around Daiyu were trembling. She really didn't know what this daughter-in-law wanted to do, so she thought about it and asked, "Then what do you want?"

Mrs. Wang said: "My daughter-in-law is thinking, why don't I add one or two more to them. I'm afraid the raw ones bought from outside will not be well served, and they may not be able to serve the public; the children born at home are rarely used now, and they are not used. They all have their masters to serve them. If Yuanyang helps the housekeeper, it is naturally the best; or if someone who has always been good to Baoyu serves him, it can save a lot of worry, and the old lady can feel relieved."

"In this case, it's better to let Miss Zijuan serve Baoyu." When everyone was thinking about it, Eunuch Chen replied intentionally or unintentionally. He could not say that he was angry or made fun of him. He seemed to say it casually and had no other intentions.

"What?! Why does he want Zicuckoo?" Mother Jia was even more angry, since she heard Mrs. Wang say that Daiyu had a few more girls, she became angry.The empress dowager's reward is such a great grace, and there are separate silver rewards, how can it be counted as the head of the mansion?Doesn't it mean that even the empress dowager doesn't pay attention?It's also fortunate that she has only this little thought, and it's also fortunate that Sister Feng is not helping her speak now, otherwise I don't know what kind of good show it will be.

"Daughter-in-law also means the same thing. Baoyu has always been good to the eldest girl, and everyone in the eldest girl's house is as close as sisters. Now that the eldest girl is in good health, and there are so many people serving her, even if she loses half of her, she will not Hurry up. When Baoyu is ready, I will naturally let Zijuan go back, which is not a hindrance." Since someone spoke, Mrs. Wang was happy to go with the flow.

"Exactly what you said, it is naturally inconvenient for us to stay in Miss Lin's house, otherwise it would be suspected of resisting the order; the snow geese were brought by Miss Lin, so it is not suitable; Chunxian is still young, if you want a little girl, it will be everywhere, so there is no reason to worry about it." Madam, don't worry; only Miss Zijuan is the most suitable, not only docile and considerate, but also she has always been on good terms with Baoyu, and she is the son of your family. I think it is very good." Chen Gonggong explained with a smile, his tone remained the same. I can't hear anything, and it's hard to refute.

Sitting in Jiamu's arms, Daiyu couldn't figure out which song these people sang, and she didn't know what Eunuch Chen meant, but since Mrs. Wang also had this intention, she didn't want to talk too much.After all, no one around her wants to keep Zicuckoo now. If she speaks a little too much, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious; and Zicuckoo has served her for so many years, even if she has some thoughts, she can't speak now, willing or not. It's hard to be fair if you don't want to. In that case, she simply didn't speak.

As for Zicuckoo, who was standing by the side, her face was red and white, and she was full of grievances, and it was hard for her to speak out.I don't know if Mrs. Wang had this intention a long time ago, and she remembered it when she saw her just now, or heard Eunuch Chen's words just now, but no matter how she thought of her, it just made her very embarrassed.She is a girl, and she has no place to behead anyone she serves.Although she used to look at Baoyu well, but now that she has Buddha, how can she put Baoyu in her eyes?Furthermore, if there is no such master as Daiyu, how easy is it to suppress the new master's old servant to gain his favor?

"Forget it, Eunuch Chen, I don't want you to see a joke. Yu'er was served by Zijuan since she was a child, and she worked hard. Yu'er also relied on her a lot. Now that she is still ill, she still thinks of such a thing If you want a girl, no matter if you buy it from outside or choose it from the family, you shouldn't come to me. You and the two girls are rewarded by the empress dowager, and it doesn't cost a penny from the house. As the saying goes, no Looking at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, she didn't say she wanted to be respectful, but she also started thinking about you. I don't know what kind of bad luck I had, I gave birth to two unworthy sons, and such an unbelievable grandson, what a shame ..." After thinking about it, Jia's mother hurriedly replied, she was wiping away her tears while counting, her tears filled her eyes, she looked very sad.

"The daughter-in-law just said that she has embezzled some time. The eldest girl is in good health now, and she doesn't want to see Baoyu sick after thinking about it. After a few days when Baoyu recovers, she will still go back. Why doesn't the old lady refuse? The daughter-in-law doesn't dare to ask for the old lady's man, but she just looks at Baoyu's current situation..." Mrs. Wang complained about her grievances, and she burst into tears.

In this way, the matter of Zhou Rui's family was mixed up, and everyone cared about Baoyu together.

Let's talk about Baoyu's situation, which was okay at first, but from that day on when I learned that Yuanchun had passed away, it was not as good as it was for a while.The next day, Aunt Xue came to help Baochai's housekeeper, and there was another fuss in Baoyu's yard.After Baoyu went back, everyone came to serve and persuade him for a while, and competed with each other for a while, and put him aside.In this way for three or two days, Jian Baoyu read some miscellaneous books, and he took these things lightly, talking crazy for a while, sitting in a daze for a while, or didn’t even take off his clothes when taking a bath, or slept until midnight and got up, just like enlightenment. The monk said a classic, and fell asleep again when everyone was still in shock.

In this way, how can everyone not say that he is crazy?Or is it sick?

Jia Mu shook her head and sighed, "That's what he looks like, and sometimes his actions are still clear. Who knows if he's possessed again. I haven't seen him for a few days. Go and call him here and let me have a look. Thanks to you mother, when the genius doctor was here just now, he only cared about his own illness, how could he forget about Baoyu? Didn’t you have a headache? How did you pay it back? Just for a girl?” use.
