Mother Jia of the Red Chamber is Unkind

……

Mrs. Wang was looking forward to the news of Jia Zheng's transfer, and she was immersed in joy.Even when she greeted Mother Jia, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth happily, showing her good mood to everyone.Mrs. Wang has become more generous recently. When she has nothing to do, she will tip the people in her yard even when she has a meal.Her purpose of buying servants and winning people's hearts is obvious. Many women in charge came to complain to Mother Jia and show their loyalty.Jia's mother didn't mind, and told everyone to just collect the money.

"Whoever has a grudge against money, if she gives it, you want it!"

Seeing this situation, Zhou Rui's family was terrified. She was afraid that one day Mrs. Wang would regain power as before, and that she who betrayed her would end up in a terrible end.In order to save their lives, Zhou Rui's family obeyed Mother Jia's instructions and watched Mrs. Wang's frown and smile closely. If there was any trouble, she would immediately make a small report in front of Mother Jia without daring to slack off.

Mother Jia is very satisfied with the current state of controlling Mrs. Wang, smiling all day long, letting Mrs. Wang pretend to be filial to her, and enjoy her various "filial piety" with peace of mind, without any temper.It took only five or six days to do the math, so Jia Mu accepted the Jade Buddha, Jade Ruyi, and some jade pendants, gold and silver headgears from Mrs. Wang's filial piety.The rate of return is higher than that of her 123 romance bookstore.

Mrs. Wang consciously confessed to Jia's mother, so she planned to win over her son.On this day, she took Baoyu to ask for instructions in front of Jia Mu in peace.She wanted to go to Xue's house to see her sister.Mother Jia had no reason to hinder the reunion of their sisters and let them go.Mrs. Wang is very happy, this wine bid farewell to Jiamu.

Jiamu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Lin family sent a few catties of tribute tea from the Borneo Kingdom a few days ago, and you can take it with you." Mrs. Wang was about to answer, but she saw Jiamu smiled, and then changed her words again. , "Forget it, let Feng girl go with you."

Mrs. Wang replied politely to Mother Jia, afraid that girl Feng would be too busy.Mother Jia insisted that she go, and Mrs. Wang dared not say more.Logically speaking, Wang Xifeng is her niece, and she can be regarded as their Wang family, and her going will not delay the reunion of their Wang sisters. Mrs. Wang refuted the estimate and could not say Jia Mu.

When Wang Xifeng got up early in the morning, she was busy sending messages to the women in charge. When she heard about this, Mrs. Wang had already arrived.Wang Xifeng guessed that Mother Jia had something to tell her, so she quickly and quietly sent Ping'er to ask.

Wang Xifeng got Jia's mother's instructions from Ping'er, and she had to keep an eye on Baoyu along the way.It turned out that Jia Mu wanted to take this opportunity to see how far Baoyu had changed.

……

Aunt Xue got Xin'er a long time ago, knowing that Baoyu likes goose palm and duck letters, she prepared a lot, and she even took out the green plum wine that had been cellared under the peach tree in the courtyard for two years, and scalded it in advance, so as not to cool her stomach.

Ever since Aunt Xue found out that her elder brother Wang Ziteng had been demoted, she was disturbed, and Baochai's marriage meeting was also hindered because of this.She didn't want Baochai to marry into a merchant's family. She didn't want Baochai to marry into a merchant's house. job.The other party suddenly refused to meet with various reasons, and the marriage that was about to be discussed fell through.

Aunt Xue was sad.When Baochai heard the news, she became even more depressed and sad, and she wept alone in the room; but she still laughed and laughed at her eldest brother and mother in front of people, pretending not to know.For this reason, Aunt Xue loves Xue Baochai more than her elder brother Xue Pan.With no good options left, Aunt Xue turned her attention back to Rongfu.In the past, Mrs. Wang lost power, and Aunt Xue thought it was over.Unexpectedly, her eldest sister is really a strong character, and she has a tendency to "recover" recently.

So Aunt Xue had to pay attention to Mrs. Wang's visit this time.She was looking forward to Mrs. Wang's arrival, hoping that the two sisters could become one.The eldest brother of the natal family has been relegated so far away, and he is temporarily unable to bear it. The sisters should help each other.

Aunt Xue took people to meet her far away from the gate of the hospital, and warmly brought Mrs. Wang, Baoyu and Wang Xifeng into the house.Aunt Xue knew that Wang Xifeng was very powerful in the Rong Mansion recently, and she was favored by the old lady, so she respected her more, she gave her two suet jade pendants, and gave Qiao a gold lock with a ruby ​​inlaid on it.Wang Xifeng was not too polite, thanked him cheerfully for accepting it, and sat beside Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang glanced at those items and smiled.Aunt Xue hurriedly ordered someone to take out the Persian gold silk-trimmed belt with precious stones and beads, and gave it to Baoyu.When Baoyu saw that things were so valuable, he never dared to take them.Aunt Xue pushed hard, and Mrs. Wang smiled and said a few words of politeness, and accepted it on behalf of Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang smiled happily, and asked Aunt Xue, "Why don't you see Baochai?"

A gleam of worry flashed in Aunt Xue's eyes, "The old problem happened two days ago, and I hid in the house and didn't see anyone." After finishing speaking, Aunt Xue turned her head and told the servant girl Tong Xi to go and have a look, and urged her to get up to meet the guests.

Wang Xifeng laughed quickly: "She is ill, there is no reason to torment her, let's go and see. Let's go, Brother Bao?"

"Me?" Baoyu asked in surprise, pointing her index finger at herself.

Wang Xifeng was surprised, and said with a smile: "Forget it, it's not convenient for you a boy, I'd better go and have a look first."

"They're all my relatives, what's the point?" Aunt Xue smiled, looking at Baoyu specifically.

Mrs. Wang couldn't wipe her face away, she stared at Baoyu and urged him to go quickly.Baoyu looked at Mrs. Wang in a daze.Mrs. Wang changed her mind, smiled and said to Baoyu, "The attacker should be there too."

Aunt Xue nodded.

Baoyu was slightly moved, and when he realized it, he smiled and saluted Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue farewell.Aunt Xue hurriedly got up to help her up, and then said to Mrs. Wang, "Look at this child who is becoming more and more polite." Mrs. Wang was also a little surprised. She looked at Baoyu strangely, and her heart became more and more puzzled.Aunt Xue took Baoyu's hand instead, and said to him, "Don't be so polite in the future."Baoyu smiled and nodded, and answered honestly, but there was an indelible sense of strangeness in his eyes.Aunt Xue let go subconsciously, and sent Baoyu away with a smile.

Wang Xifeng was waiting at the door, but her ears were not idle. She heard that Xiren was here, she was speechless in surprise, thinking that she would have something to say to her ancestor when she went back this time.As soon as Baoyu came out, Wang Xifeng put on a warm smile and went to Baochai's house under the guidance of Tongxi, a maid beside Mrs. Wang.As soon as I entered the room, there was a strange fragrance, which was very pleasant.Wang Xifeng asked curiously what kind of incense it was.Tong Xi covered his mouth and smiled: "It's not some kind of incense. My girl doesn't like any kind of incense. It's the medicine fragrance from the girl's medicine."

While Tong Xi was talking, Baochai had hurried out of the house.She was wearing a dark red casual dress, which set off her fair neck and rosy face.Looking at her hair bun, it was pulled up casually, and there are a few hairpins in the cloud temples. It seems simple, but each one is very delicate, especially the peacock spitting out pearls. The craftsmanship should be something in the palace.This attire may seem casual and simple, but in fact it has been carefully considered.This attire can deceive others, but it can't deceive Wang Xifeng who has a pair of sharp eyes!This Baochai must be pretending to be sick, and it is not a faking, nor is it a serious illness, and it is not to the point where the guests are unable to move to see them.

Wang Xifeng pretended not to know, smiled and pulled Baochai to ask her how her condition was, and what medicine she was taking.When Wang Xifeng heard about the source of the prescription from Baochai, she was amazed by it, but she secretly smiled and felt that Baochai's illness was quite hypocritical.

Baochai talked to Wang Xifeng for a long time, but saw Baoyu standing there.She secretly watched Baoyu change a lot, and she was shocked, but also curious about what he experienced when he went to Wutai Mountain, and what kind of him he has become?Baochai tilted her head and smiled and asked him, "Why don't you talk or sit down? Could it be that you are being polite to me?"

Baoyu was stunned for a moment, smiled politely, bent down and sat down.

Baochai subconsciously looked at Baoyu's mouth, the broken die was still there, it seemed more and more obvious.Baochai tried her best to keep her eyes elsewhere, but the handsome and romantic face and the broken die still kept appearing in her mind.The image lingered, like a magic spell in her mind.

Wang Xifeng asked Xiren: "Is she there? I haven't seen her for a long time, but I really want to see her."

Immediately, someone led Xiren to come here. When Xiren saw Baoyu was there, he wept excitedly.Wang Xifeng smiled and asked how the attacker came.

Baochai listened silently, lowering her head, she was a little disappointed because of Baoyu's hard teeth and his suddenly cold attitude.Baoyu seems to be no longer the previous Baoyu, like a piece of wood, well-behaved, no longer so lively and gratifying.Baochai thought she had become so silent, and Baoyu would greet her anyway.After waiting for a while, she didn't wait for anything, she quietly raised her head to glance at Baoyu, only to see Baoyu drinking tea by herself.Baochai was so angry that she was dying, her self-esteem turned into anger and went straight to her forehead.Baochai endured it for a long time, and decided to ignore Baoyu any more!

Wang Xifeng got what she wanted and didn't want to stay any longer, so she smiled and told Baochai to take good care of her illness.Wang Xifeng said politely to Baochai: "You are sick, so we don't want to disturb you too much. Let's rest. When you get better, come to Rong Mansion to play with your sisters. They all miss you."

Baochai smiled and nodded, answering Wang Xifeng.Although there is some intention in my heart to stay, I am annoyed when I see Baoyu like that, and I don't know what to say.He hesitated to see, but saw that the two of them had already left.

Xiren wiped away his tears for a while, and seeing Baochai's complexion was not good, he hurriedly helped her to rest in the back room.Baochai waved her hand away, not letting her touch it.

Xiren was in a daze, could it be that she was rejected by Miss Bao?

Baochai squinted at her, and said with a light smile, "Brother should be back soon, you should go to his room to serve him, I don't need you."

Xiren nodded silently, thinking of Xue Pan, a feeling of humiliation suddenly rose in his heart.Thinking of Baoyu's indifferent look just now, I feel even more desperate.She finally swallowed her anger and turned her head away.

Baochai raised her head slightly, blinked, and stubbornly held back her tears.When she returned to her room, she got into the bed, faced the wall, and remained silent.

Aunt Xue sent off Mrs. Wang and others happily, and then came to see Baochai with a smile, but seeing Baochai like this, her heart ached, she sat by the bed and asked her what was the matter softly.

Baochai wiped her tears with the corner of the quilt, sat up, and looked at Aunt Xue with red eyes.

Aunt Xue frowned and took Baochai's hand: "It's fine, what's the matter with you?" Baochai didn't speak.Aunt Xue was in a hurry, and asked her a few more words, only to learn that Baochai was dissatisfied with Baoyu's indifference, and she was also puzzled, so she advised Baochai not to mind too much.

Baochai shook her head, and Baoyu's incomplete die teeth appeared in her mind again when she smiled, and she lost all sense of beauty. "The person who used to be nice and warm, why is he like this now? He's like wood. He's not as good as big brother."

"Nonsense, he is ten times better than your elder brother no matter what!" Aunt Xue corrected.

"His tooth," Baochai frowned sadly, "before he was mild-tempered, which was fine, but now I can't stand it anymore."

Aunt Xue became distressed, so she threw in many valuables to please Rongfu, but Baochai didn't like it anymore.Aunt Xue thought it over and persuaded Baochai, "Don't talk about it, let's see it again. If it doesn't work, there must be a bottom line."

Baochai breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

It was a rare reunion of the sisters, and Mrs. Wang was very happy. Today was the happiest day for her in more than half a year.As the saying goes, it is easier to do things with more people.Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to restore her position.It's too easy to win people's hearts, just use money!So she really needs her younger sister, Aunt Xue, to support her financially behind her back. Once the two get married, they will become a family. Aunt Xue will definitely be able to contribute money happily in the future.Anyway, the old lady never intended to betroth Daiyu to Baoyu, and Mrs. Wang felt that she had a good chance of courting Baochai.

After Mrs. Wang returned to the mansion, she went to greet Jia Mu and reported the situation.Mother Jia nodded and didn't say much.Mrs. Wang didn't leave, her attitude became hesitant, she raised her eyes to see Jia's mother, and faltered.

Mother Jia glanced at her, put down the new melon seeds in her hand, "Let's talk."

"Mother, you see that Baoyu is not young anymore, shouldn't marriage be considered too? Marry a family early and establish a career early" Mrs. Wang asked tentatively.

Mother Jia laughed: "You want to talk to the Xue family—"

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly, and lowered her head, which could be regarded as a nod.

Jia Mu also laughed, as bright as a flower blooming, "No, agree, agree!"
