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

Seeing her appearance, Daiyu became more confident in her heart, and said with a smile: "Sister Bao has always learned everything and knows everything, why can't she even understand this. If you really don't understand , why would you repeatedly stop me from going to the backyard in the dizang nunnery? Why don't you ask Sister Shi and Yinger to confront each other, or you don't need to be so troublesome, the second brother Lian will definitely send someone to secretly investigate, as long as I say At that time, I felt that there was something wrong in the backyard of the Dizang Nunnery. If you follow the vine, wouldn't you find out everything? I'm afraid that at that time, it would have failed Sister Bao's good intentions to plan for Xiangling."

Hearing what she said, Baochai became more and more busy. When he wanted to tell her the whole story, he knew that he was unreasonable, and he was at a disadvantage in filial piety. He knew that Daiyu had always been eloquent and relentless. When she wants to deny it, she is afraid that she will really say a word about the backyard of the Dizang Nunnery, and those capable people outside will follow the clues, and if Xiangling is harmed, won't even Grandma Liu be responsible for it? no?

At the moment, he thought about it, weighed many things, and there was no other way to think about it. He gritted his teeth and pulled Lin Daiyu back. With a smile on his face, he begged softly: "My good sister, you are the smartest one. I also care about the matter here." I dare not hide it from you." Then Aunt Xue wanted Xiangling to be Xue Pan's concubine, and because Xue Pan was used to misbehaving, he was afraid of ruining Xiangling and fearing that wives and concubines would fight for power in the future, so he tried his best to stop her, and in addition, Xiangling insisted on begging, but in desperation, she came up with such a way.At the end, he said: "I know that I am not filial or fraternal. I originally planned to apologize to my mother after the matter subsided. I only hoped that she would understand my painstaking efforts for the sake of the past. Now that my sister has learned about it, I have to ask my younger sister to cover it for me, lest the matter become a big one and cost Xiangling's life." Just as she was begging, she suddenly saw Lin Daiyu's expression was different, as if she was stunned, she hurriedly asked: "Sister, what's wrong with you ?”

Lin Daiyu was in a trance, and then came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "I don't know what's wrong, this scene seems to have happened in the past, so strange."

Baochai hurriedly accompanied her with a smile and said, "I'll tell my sister, I often feel this way too. I was ignorant when I was young, so Tete mentioned it to my parents, but my parents were scared like something, and because I always got sick and didn't get well, I was busy asking Taoist monks to do things. After tossing for a long time, it didn't seem to be of any use. I left it alone, but it gradually got better. Let's not talk about this, my sister has always been a delicate, crystal-like person , and have always treated Xiangling well, so I ask my younger sister to take care of her a little more."

Daiyu smiled: "Don't worry. If I made a noise on purpose, I won't ask you specifically. I used to say that it's a pity that such a beautiful person like Xiangling has such a hard life. I never thought that you would be willing to replace her." It's a blessing in misfortune for her to plan so far. Since you have such intentions, how can I not fulfill them? It's just that my aunt is in a fit of anger, so she should think twice about pleading guilty and make a long-term plan."

Seeing that Daiyu was so reasonable, Baochai felt a little overjoyed, but the strange thing was that deep down in her heart she took it for granted.She thought to herself that Aunt Xue and Aunt Xue had a deep love for mother and daughter, and they discussed everything and talked about everything. Although this matter was done first, it was not easy to hide it from her, so she said to Daiyu, "That's okay. My brother and my mother have good intentions. Although they are wronged by reason, they actually have a clear conscience. If my mother is angry, I have to bear it. I will always understand this painstaking effort.”

While the two were talking, Xiangyun outside couldn't sit still, so he also came into the inner room.She made a lot of noise, and before they reached the back room, Chai and Dai had already sensed it. They glanced at each other, and stopped talking.When Xiangyun saw it, he hurriedly went up to him, looked at it twice and said: "This flower looks fresh, I think it has been handed down from the palace?" But he remembered that Xue's family had a name in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now they are leading There is money and food in the country, and the purchase of miscellaneous materials, so there is this question.

Baochai laughed and said, "Where is it? It's just that I was bored in my free time, and Ying'er and I made up random plans." Then he gently revealed the words, and the three of them walked out of the house together, only to see that Ying'er had already left the house. One of Fang Sheng's tricks is half done.Everyone looked carefully, and after reading it, they all agreed, each ordered one, and said that it would take a few days to pick it up, and sat down again, thinking that everything had calmed down, so they left together.

Here again Jia Lian personally came to apologize to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue lived in Jia's mansion, so naturally she couldn't blame her very much, but instead said some words of comfort and gratitude, and took the opportunity to entrust Jia Lian to visit the government.Jia Lian agreed quite readily, and said: "I'm afraid it won't work just to report to the official. My aunt doesn't know. There are so many things in this yamen. I don't know how many old cases have been backlogged. How can I take care of it? It's Brother Xue's." My concubine has been abducted by others, so I can't let it go easily, the current method is still to send a few confidantes to investigate secretly."

Aunt Xue was overjoyed when she heard this, and she agreed in a hurry, saying that she would bear all the expenses, and then ordered her servants to seal 200 taels of silver, which would be given to Jia Lian, saying that she would pay for the yamen's envoy.Jia Lian felt that he had lost Xiangling because of an errand, and he was a little bored on the face, he was embarrassed to ask for the money directly, and only said that it would not be too late when Xiangling found it, so he left in a hurry, but he was already determined in his heart. Aunt Xue is a person, so she will definitely send someone to deliver the money at night.

Although Baochai didn't stand by, she got the news long ago. She was very surprised to hear that Aunt Xue was unwilling to let it go, and would rather spend 200 taels of silver and dig three feet to find Xiangling.At this time, although she knew that the officials in the yamen were incompetent, she was always afraid that some of them might be able to deduce Xiangling's whereabouts from clues.She originally planned to wait for the situation to calm down, and then slowly explain the whole story to Aunt Xue, but at this time, she couldn't care less about it. After Jia Lian left, she turned her back and knelt in front of Aunt Xue, all the way. The ins and outs are fully explained, but when it comes to Xiangling's whereabouts, he is vague.

In Aunt Xue's eyes, Baochai has always been well-behaved, sensible, docile and courteous.Therefore, Aunt Xue just blamed Baochai for accidentally losing Xiangling, but she never expected that she would be so courageous and dared to let Xiangling escape on her own initiative. Baochai was blamed for the gossip and gossip of the servants, and even the 200 taels of silver that was about to be entrusted to Jia Lian. Supporting brothers. Your father always praised you as a promising person, and I also counted on you to enjoy some good fortune. I didn't expect this to be disobedient and unfilial before leaving the cabinet, and spoil your brother's affairs!" While crying and cursing, On the one hand, he beat Baochai several times with his hands.

Baochai only said that her mother usually told her troublesome and difficult things to listen to. The two mothers and daughters were used to confiding in each other and discussing things with each other. It was just to curse a few words, and then to find another marriage for elder brother, but Aunt Xue's reaction was so intense, she couldn't help being stunned.When a mother beats a child, there is no reason for a child to fight back. She must be obedient, let him beat and scold, vent her anger, and say in her mouth: "Mother, calm down. Beat your hand carefully. Besides, the golden finger on this hand The cover is newly made, and it is inlaid with Western gemstones, so it would be a pity if it was damaged for a while?"

But it turned out that Aunt Xue's widow, whose husband died, didn't care too much about hairpin jewelry, but she had a different temperament from Baochai, she was a woman who liked bright colors and luxurious jewelry, so she had to secretly make a fuss about finger cots, Although it is heavy on the fingers, it also shows the identity, and I feel very comfortable.Now hearing Baochai's reminder, Aunt Xue couldn't help sneering, she took off her fingertips with her backhand, and scratched Baochai's face with her half-inch-long nails, saying, "I call you disobedient! Tell you to spoil your brother! Who do you think you are? Can't you just pretend that I'm gone?"

Baochai was terrified when she saw this, knowing that she couldn't resist the grab, she was afraid of losing her appearance, so she didn't care about anything else, and tried to dodge.Unexpectedly, Ying'er knew that Baochai entered the house to confess her guilt, and her heart was still hanging, so she ran to tell Baochai's wet nurse, Nanny Zhang.That nanny Zhang has been in poor health, and spent two days in the back room recovering from her illness in three days.Hearing what Ying'er said, she had to help her sick to get up, and went outside Aunt Xue's room. She didn't go in first, but just peeked at the window.At this time, seeing Aunt Xue getting angry and grabbing Baochai with her fingernails, she knew that this was a big deal, so she rushed into the house, stopped Aunt Xue with her hand, and shouted, "Don't do it, don't do it!"

Although Aunt Xue was anxious, she did not lose her clarity. She knew that if Baochai really lost her appearance, many of her plans would be gone with the wind.So just to scare her, seeing the nails grabbing in front of her, he turned around and scratched a few deep finger marks on her wrist and forearm.

Only then did Zhang Momo rescue Baochai, and said in tears, "Even if there is something wrong with my sister, my wife will just teach her a lesson. Why ruin her future like this? If it really hurts her face at 01:30 , but what should I do?"

Aunt Xue saw Zhang Momo coming, because she is an old man of several generations of the Xue family, with good character, and Aunt Xue's mother-in-law respected her a lot when she was alive, so she had to give her this face, but she was even more angry in her heart, and said angrily: " I don’t want to, but I’ve alarmed Nanny Zhang. Don’t worry, I have my own sense of propriety, and I’m just teaching my own daughter.”

Nanny Zhang is Baochai's nanny. Because she was admired by Xue's father in her early years, she did not fall into Aunt Xue's eyes.Baochai also vaguely knew about this, so she had to stay away from Nanny Zhang on the surface.Nanny Zhang herself knew the trick, she wasn't as ostentatious as the nurses of other sons and daughters, she just recuperated silently in the backyard, trying to find a place to stay.Now she knew that she had violated Aunt Xue's taboo, so she didn't dare to say anything, but looked at Baochai's arm, and saw that some of the flesh had been pinched, a crescent-shaped, thin layer turned outwards, When I looked at it carefully, it was already slowly oozing blood, and I couldn't help crying out of distress.
