[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Yao Jing found out about Baoyu's serious illness only by chatting with women on the street occasionally.

For the convenience of walking around, she often dresses like a man in front of outsiders. Although it is nondescript, it satisfies the yearning of some modest women for elegant scholars, so she is invincible when she inquires about the news.

What's more, this is not something that can be hidden from people.It wasn't long before the Concubine Xiande of Rongguo Mansion came to see her relatives, and Jia's mansion was in full swing. The whole family was making a fuss because of Baoyu's illness. There was an endless stream of people who came to visit. Who doesn't know about this stuff?

But in Yao Jing's view, the meaning of this matter is completely different.It is also difficult for her to know the relationship between the characters in the Rongguo Mansion and the future rise and fall, but she just decided that this is also one of the reasons why the theory of gold and jade has gained the upper hand: Baoyu was originally dying of medicine and stones. When he fell into the grass, the psychic precious jade held the chanting, and his illness was cured. Doesn't it force people to be in awe of gold and jade?

It is inconclusive that monks, Taoists and others were instigated by whom, but if the principle of whoever benefits is followed, Baochai is undoubtedly the biggest object of suspicion.

As soon as Yao Jing thought of this, she wanted to be that chivalrous woman who would draw her sword to help when encountering injustice, and vowed to uncover the mystery.Thanks to her being assisted by Sun Mu for many years, and taking advantage of Baochai's power to gain a foothold in Beijing, the twists and turns here are not as smeared as before. After going to the yamen to file a complaint but being stopped by Han Qi, Unexpectedly, he used all means to break through the gate of Jia's mansion, came to Jia's mother, and bluntly said that there is a way to return to heaven.

Jia's mother was in a hurry to go to the doctor's room, so she couldn't take care of a lot.Originally, Yao Jing's demeanor had many flaws in the eyes of the nobles, and she was determined not to look down on her. Now, like a treasure, please come to the seat and listen to her nonsense, saying that Baochai colluded with Aunt Zhao, Ma Daopo and others. .Aunt Zhao was on the spot, and after hearing about it, she was so shocked and annoyed that she fainted from fright.

Mobilizing yamen servants is a piece of cake for such a popular family of relatives and honorable relatives like Jia's.Mother Jia has been the mistress of the mansion for many years. Needless to say, she is old and spicy. How could she not understand the principle of bewildering others? While making people comfort Aunt Zhao, and appease Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Tanchun and others, she has already ordered people to drive her away. The mother-in-law was taken to the Yamen and tortured severely.

The weird paper figurines in Ma Daopo's house were collected, but what kind of person Ma Daopo was, she clenched her teeth and refused to admit it. Aunt Zhao just pretended to be weak and kept crying. Zheng Ming reprimanded and defended secretly, but in fact he could not be convicted.

Yao Jing's lungs were about to explode, and she urged Jia's mother to inquire about Baochai's situation here. Jia's mother was repeatedly frustrated, and Baoyu's condition did not improve. She deeply regretted that she had listened to her words. ?Mrs. Wang saw that her only lifeblood was not getting better, and her heart flew to Baoyu long ago. Although she was a Qi Baochai, how could she care about it?Aunt Xue and others waited in a hurry to prove themselves and wanted to clear up the suspicion, so they asked the maidservant to look for Baochai. They all said that Miss Bao had gone to take care of the business because of something in the shop, and that Miss Bao was entertaining distinguished guests in the shop, so she really couldn't leave.Although Wang and Xue were very surprised, they knew there must be something strange, but they were not as anxious as before.

At dusk that day, Baochai returned to Hengwu Garden.

Before entering the door, I saw Baba of Lin Zhixiao's family standing guard at the gate of the courtyard, talking to some women who were looking at Hengwuyuan. When he was about to ask, the sharp eyes of Lin Zhixiao's family had already greeted him, and said with a smile: " Miss Bao is back. My wife sent me to pass on a message that if you have free time, you can go to the old lady's courtyard."

Baochai had expected it a long time ago, knowing that Lin Zhixiao's family was just a young man running errands, why should she be embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "What mother said is true. I think Mrs. Lin must be thirsty, and she should go to the house to rest. How about taking a break and drinking some tea. I just came back from a shop outside, and I always have to wash my face so that I can meet people."

Lin Zhixiao's family wanted to remind her but dared not, and finally waited for Baochai to wash and wash, and when they went to the old lady's courtyard together, Yao Jing was already looking forward to it.

It was Aunt Xue who couldn't wait to jump out to ask questions.She was eager to express her heart to Mrs. Wang, and she reprimanded her head and head: "Now there are two patients lying in bed at home, and none of the relatives are watching in fear, but you ran to your shop. I haven't seen you for a long time." Human shadow, could it be that my Xue family is relying on the little money you earn to support the family? Tell me, what is this?"

Although she was crying to Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang was deaf to foreign affairs at the moment, she was blindly chanting Buddha and praying for God's blessing, so she would not take her words lightly.

On the contrary, Jia Mu frowned and said coldly: "My aunt's words are wrong. If you want to respect the generations of royal merchants in the family, the way of business is naturally the most important thing. This child Baochai has some talents in this. It can be seen that the Zun's mansion is indeed the family of Fuyin, which is a happy event. Taking a step back, even if there is any misbehavior in her behavior, please ask the concubine to go back to her room and close the door to teach her a lesson. Once you come to the girl's house, if Inadvertently spreading the word is not good, and secondly, let me say something disrespectful. Baoyu's life and death are uncertain inside, and my concubine is talking here. , My heart felt like being stabbed with a knife, I was dizzy, and my words were insignificant, and I asked my aunt to forgive me. When Brother Bao'er is safe and sound, I will teach him to kowtow at the Zun's mansion."

For Jiamu, this is already a very important word.Aunt Xue couldn't bear it, her face turned pale immediately, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore, she just kept staring at Baochai, her eyes were full of resentment, and she didn't know where she got so much hatred.

At this time, Baochai had time to look around and saw Li Wan, sisters Sanchun, Ping'er, Xiren and others gathered around the outer hall waiting for the news. Mother Jia forced her to rest.

At the moment, everyone was silent and their faces were gloomy.The chiming clock in Jiamu's room struck seven times, and the people in the kitchen poked their heads a few times, but they still didn't dare to mention the dinner.

After a while, Jia Lian came in from the outside to ask for an interview, saying that he had inquired in the yamen, and the Ma Daopo hadn't found anything inappropriate during the interrogation. The powerful family acted as a guarantor and mediated among them, and the government was also very embarrassed. Later, because someone in the Zhongxiao Prince's house had spoken, they had already let her go back.

When Jia's mother heard the words, she deeply regretted that she had listened to Yao Jing's nonsense in advance, and Mrs. Wang just wept silently.Jia Zheng heard from the side, only worried that the grudge between Ma Daopo and Ma Daopo had become deep, and that it would be difficult to reconcile in the future, so Jia Amnesty just reassured him from the side, and then suggested to find a monk to find the way.

In the midst of all the fuss, a servant girl from the inner room suddenly came to report: "Second Grandma has woken up!" Jia Lian, Ping'er and the others were surprised and delighted, and were about to rush in to have a look, when they suddenly heard Jia Baoyu bored in the next room. With a snort, he slowly opened his eyes.

The Rongguo Mansion was overjoyed for a moment, although the two of them woke up and their breathing was still weak, they had boiled rice soup and fed them, and asked the doctor to prescribe a few doses of medicine to calm the mind and body overnight, and they all said that there was no serious problem .

Yao Jing is very happy to pretend to be a ghost in a small commoner's house, but how can someone like Jia's mansion easily buy her account?At this time, seeing Baoyu wake up, she jumped out quickly, saying that it was all her own credit, Jia Zheng and others were regretting, if they would believe her words, they would have been beaten out of the house long ago.

Mother Jia watched Baoyu drink rice soup and gradually fell asleep with a long breath, so she ordered people to make dinner.Baochai wanted to say goodbye and leave, but Aunt Xue felt uneasy and insisted on eating here with the cheek.

After the meal was over in a short time, Aunt Xue took Baochai's hand and said many inexplicable words of apology.Jia Mu's face was only faint.Mrs. Wang felt at ease, and came to settle the old accounts at this time. Because of the presence of Jia's mother, she became more merciless and asked: "Then Yao Jing said that she was in business with the Xue family. This matter?"

Because the matter involved Xiangling, Baochai refused to answer truthfully, and she made up her mind that she would not chase Yao Jing into this troubled water again, so she only said that she was a close friend of the nunnery in the past, because she lived in the middle of the capital, I had nothing to do, so I opened a restaurant to practice my hands. It was originally under the name of Xue's family, but because of different ways, I didn't seek advice from each other, so I no longer communicate with each other.

Mrs. Wang's expression turned pale when she heard the words, and she frowned and said, "How can such a thing happen in the world? Then Nanny Sun is a person who came out of the palace, and she is also famous in Jinling, so she would be with such a person?"

At this time, Jia's mother interjected: "It can be seen that even people who come out of the palace have uneven knowledge and cultivation. What's more, the man surnamed Yao beat him up and said it was Baochai's fault. It can be seen that if you know the wrong person, you will have endless troubles." At first, I thought about hiring a nanny from the palace for Sister Qiao, so as to learn the rules, but now it seems that I have to choose carefully."

These words were repeated repeatedly, and they were vaguely questioning Baochai's character.If the situation develops like this, it will be very detrimental to Baochai and Baoyu's marriage.Aunt Xue couldn't help raising her eyebrows anxiously, and exchanged glances with Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang pretended not to see her, but Aunt Xue stood up and reprimanded Baochai, "I'm so busy all day, your brother Bao is sick. You went to the shop and threatened to receive some distinguished guests, you child, can't you even tell the difference between the serious and the serious?"

Jia's mother was worrying about how to reject Jin Yu's words. Taking advantage of this opportunity, there was no reason not to push the boat along with the current, and hurriedly ordered someone to pull Aunt Xue, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, my aunt. I think Baochai is safe. Yes, if you think about it, you are really receiving some distinguished guests, don't you wrong her with your remarks?"

While he was talking, he suddenly saw Jia Lian rushing in, he couldn't even wait for the announcement.At that time, Jia She's wife, Xing Shi, was also there, she stood up with a smile and said, "It's true that the older you are, the less you know how to behave. Even if you rush to see your daughter-in-law, you have to order someone to tell you..."

In fact, there is some truth in Xing's words.In the past, Baoyu and Sister Feng were suddenly ill, and everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't care about avoiding taboos, so that's all.

However, in the middle of speaking, Jia Lian interrupted.Jia Lian's face was tense, and without sweeping the eyes of everyone in the hall, he said directly to Jia's mother: "Old ancestor, the eldest princess is here, and they are busy setting up incense tables outside to welcome them!"
