After all, Mother Jia was worried that Baoyu would stay with his most feared aunt, so she sent attackers to take care of Baoyu.

As soon as Xiren entered the room, he saw Baoyu being beaten and lying on the couch moaning, extremely pitiful.Xiren couldn't help shedding tears, she just said, second master Bao is most afraid of the eldest wife, how could he stay here willingly?

When Baoyu saw the attacker coming, he burst into tears.As soon as Xiren approached, Baoyu hugged her and cried badly.

Xiren's heart hurt as if it had been cut by a saw, and it was bleeding.Xiren coaxed Second Master Bao, and scolded angrily: "Is there any reason? Even the old lady can't bear to touch a hair on Second Master's body. Why does she beat Second Master for no reason? What about Musk Moon? Didn't you say that Musk Moon informed the old lady for you, why now the old lady doesn't know, she is gone."

Baoyu frowned and shook his head. Since Sheyue left, another old woman came to his house, in her fifties, with a full face.Apart from telling him coldly and rigidly every day, "It's time for the second master to take the medicine", "It's time for the second master to eat", "It's time for the second master to show respect", other than these few words, the old woman didn't say a word.Baoyu faced such an old-fashioned face all day long, and couldn't raise any energy, and couldn't eat.

Baoyu sobbed and pulled the attacker, and said intimately: "You are here. I haven't been serving you these few days. I don't work hard or go well."

Knowing that he had entered Baoyu's heart, Xiren was overjoyed and pulled Baoyu to show his loyalty.

"How is the second master's injury?" Xiren asked with tears in his eyes.

Baoyu frowned, showing a bitter look.

The attacker hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick up Baoyu's trousers: "Let me take a look!"

"Don't," Baoyu dodged shyly. When she moved, she touched the wound on her buttocks, and it hurt terribly.Baoyu bared her teeth and took a deep breath.

Xiren comforted him with a smile and helped him get into a good posture. "Second Master, don't move around. Why are you ashamed? We still share between you and me?" Xi Ren rolled his eyes, his cheeks flushed shyly, and stammered, "Besides, I haven't seen Er Ye anywhere, you avoid it?" No one needs to avoid me."

When Baoyu heard this, his face turned red, and he couldn't help being close to Xiren in his heart.He nodded, letting Xiren see his shyness.

Afraid of hurting Baoyu, Xiren gently opened his obscene trousers, and saw that the flesh inside had been beaten black and red. He covered his mouth in surprise, and tears fell like rain, pattering down. , A few drops still fell on Baoyu's buttocks.

Baoyu felt something was wrong, looked back at Xiren, and saw that she was crying again, felt wronged in her heart, and burst into tears.

Nanny Zhou, who was guarding the room, came back with tea, put the tea on the table with a sullen face, then put away the tray, and watched their master and servant cry coldly.

Xiren was so stared at that he couldn't stand it any longer, so he stopped crying, and Baoyu didn't cry, but when he saw the nanny's old face, he felt disgusted, and turned his head away angrily.

"Second Master Bao said he was going back to Rong Mansion, prepare the car, I will go back to the eldest lady." Xiren said to the nanny.

Nanny Zhou said in a blunt tone: "It's better to trouble Miss Xiren to report to the wife first, and it's better for the old slave to go to work after getting the wife's permission later."

"You—" Xiren rushed to his head angrily, intending to argue with the woman, but then thought that this is the Shangshu's family's territory, she had better not cause trouble.Xiren was silent for a while, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the nanny with a sneer, "It sounds like your wife is petty and unreasonable. She is the eldest aunt of Bao Erye, and she is willing to stop him. Let him go? Who doesn't know that the eldest wife is the most reasonable person in our family, don't you think so, Mammy?"

This servant girl really had the guts of her ambition, she dared to play tricks in her words, and scolded the eldest wife in a different way.According to what she said, if the eldest wife does not let Second Master Bao go back, she will become "stingy" and "unreasonable".

After hearing the words, Nanny Zhou squinted her eyes and looked at Xiren with eyes like seeing a dead person.Fortunately, this girl is by the side of Second Master Bao, if she was in the Shangshu Mansion, the wife would have sold her skinned and cramped, and sent her to a place like Yihong Courtyard, it would be cheaper for her!

"Nurse? I'm talking." Xiren thought he was the winner, and his smile carried the attitude of a winner.

"Really, someone was talking just now? Why does it sound more like a dog barking." Zhou Nanny smiled lightly.

"You—" Xiren said half a sentence, and then Baoyu behind him went into a rage.

"Where is the old man? I don't know how high the sky is and the earth is thick. You can scold Aunt Xiren? I see that if you put money on your face, you can still sit on top of your ancestor's head. Such a big mansion, next People don't understand the rules, how can your wife care about you!" Baoyu scolded. When he was excited, he couldn't help getting up, and when he moved, his buttocks hurt.Baoyu clutched her buttocks and yelled, then lay back again.

When Xiren saw that Baoyu had stood up for him and suffered again, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and cried to appease Baoyu.People have to bow their heads under the eaves. After all, this is the Shangshu Mansion, and they will easily suffer when they make trouble.Xiren persuaded Baoyu to bear it in a low voice, and everything will be settled after returning to Rongfu.

Baoyu felt that what Xiren said was reasonable, and he didn't want to stay here any longer, so he nodded obediently and swallowed his anger for the time being.

After listening to Master Bao's words, Nanny Zhou only sneered in her heart, her face was still wooden, and she didn't say a word.After all, Master Bao is the master, and the master's words cannot be refuted by others. As for who is right and who is wrong, Nanny Zhou believes that her own sensible wife will make the decision for her.

Xiren comforted Baoyu, put on a posture that she was going to save the world, raised her head and said coldly to Mother Zhou, "Since you dare not prepare the car, that's fine, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go and ask Eldest madam, please give me some advice, this time your old man should make a move, right?"

Nanny Zhou raised the corner of her mouth and stretched out her hand to lift the curtain for Xiren: "Waiting for you!"

Xiren glanced at her with dissatisfaction, snorted, lowered his head to straighten out the folds of his clothes, straightened his back and went to the main room.

As soon as Xiren arrived at the courtyard, a sharp-eyed little maid came over and asked her what was the matter.Xiren said that he came to see the eldest wife, but when the little maid heard this, she looked at Xiren strangely and told her to wait.The little maid turned around and went into the main room, and she would come out soon, but the little maid didn't look for Xiren, she just stood at the door.

Xiren guessed that maybe the eldest wife was busy, and when I saw her again later, he stood peacefully where he was and waited.After about a stick of incense, there was finally movement in the main room, and it was Xiao Hong who pushed the door and came out, holding a cup in her hand.She walked out the door with a smile, and when she looked back, she handed the things in her hand to the little maid at the door.

The little maid had quick eyes and hands, took the things respectfully, and turned around to deliver them in the direction of the kitchen.Xiaohong glanced at the maid and told her to be more cautious. "That's a bucket of flowers and grass patterns. It's very expensive. Don't drop it!"

The little maid hurriedly stopped, nodded to Xiaohong, and the newsman walked steadily forward with a cup in her hand.

Xiaohong smiled helplessly, turned her head and glanced at the maids waiting in the yard, turned around and picked up the curtain to enter the room.

Xiren thought someone would call her, but when he saw this, he reached out his hand to signal Xiaohong, but saw that she had already entered the door.Xiren didn't know what to do, and he didn't know whether the little maid sent a message to come in, so he wandered in the middle of the courtyard uneasy, and finally decided to ask the maid.

Xiren asked where the kitchen was, so he followed the direction of the little maid to look for it, and he ran into her on the way.

Seeing her, the little servant girl was surprised and said: "You are not waiting in the yard, why come here?"

"I waited for a long time and no one called me, thinking you didn't know you would go in, so I came here to ask if you forgot me." Xiren smiled.

The little maid looked at Xiren in surprise, and replied in a strange voice: "I came into the house to help you pass the message, there is no reason for forgetting. How many people in the family came to ask to see the wife, they all followed me, and no one made a mistake. Yes. Ma'am, you can see it whenever you want? You get impatient after a while? Go back soon."

Xiren didn't expect that he would be scolded by a third-class maid, and his face was a bit ugly; because he thought that he still had business to do, he couldn't care about it with the maid, so he turned around and walked back.

When the maid in the courtyard saw the attacker coming back, she scolded anxiously: "Where have you been, sister Xiaohong called for someone just now, but you just disappeared, could it be possible to ask the wife to wait for you?"

Xiren was startled, and hurriedly explained the misunderstanding just now.

On the contrary, the little servant girl looked at Xiren even more strangely: "You are so interesting. You still don't believe what someone has passed on for you? There have never been irregular servant girls in the wife's courtyard, let alone one who was restless. Otherwise, who would dare to stay?" Here? I am really used to being loose in Rongfu, thinking that we are all like you."

"What do you mean by that!" Xiren looked at her angrily, it was clear that they were too hasty in passing on their words, and instead they leaned on her and scolded her.

"I'm talking about you, not even a rough woman from a farmer's family. A few days ago, Grandma Liu came to my wife to ask for an interview. Just as my wife was busy with the second girl's marriage, she got dizzy and forgot about her. The grandparents and grandsons sat in the wing room for more than an hour without any complaints. She didn't take any airs when she was short of money and fabrics, and she told us to eat one girl at a time, sharing the fruits rewarded by my wife for us to eat."

Xi blushed with anger, wishing to kill this shallow-skinned little girl in front of her with her eyes.She bit her lip and endured it again and again, but the little maid treated her like a buffoon, kept making jokes and talking non-stop.

Xiren frowned and said, "Go and do your business in peace, I don't need you to care about it!"

Anyway, the little girl had said enough, she sneered and sat down on the stone steps with a blank look.After a while, Xiaohong came out again, smiled and ordered people to fetch water.The little maid reported that she had gone to work bravely.

Xiaohong turned around and wanted to go back, Xiren hurriedly took the opportunity to call her.Xiaohong stopped her feet, turned her head and saw Xiren, surprise flashed in her eyes: "Didn't you just leave?"

Xiren hurriedly explained the misunderstanding with a smile, and by the way, also said the accusations of the two little maids, nodded and admitted: "It's my fault, I misunderstood. I'm willing to wait as long as my wife told me to wait this time."

Xiaohong admits to her mistake, but her tone is not quite right. It is clear that she is not convinced.Xiao Hong smiled, not being as knowledgeable as her, so she told her to wait.

"My wife is currently coaxing Brother Can to sleep. No one can see. Brother Can loves to cling to his wife the most. Unless he is deeply asleep, he will wake up when the wife moves, and he will not sleep again when he wakes up. He slept soundly at night. I can’t bear to pee anymore.”

Xiren nodded resignedly, now he has no choice but to listen to the eldest wife's arrangements in the Shangshu Mansion.Forbearance, forbearance must be endured, and it will be fine to endure until Rongfu.Xiren thought this way in his heart, he had hope, and he could hold back.

Seeing Xiao Hong, who was dressed in brocade, entered the room, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.Once upon a time, when Xiao Hong was in Second Master Bao's room, she was a third class who couldn't get on the stage, and didn't even have a chance to enter Second Master Bao's room.Xiren remembered that once she sneaked in, she was discovered by himself, Sheyue, and Qingwen, and they scolded her severely. Xiren still remembers the maid's deflated expression, it was really refreshing.

The cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unhappy.

Now she has suffered retribution, and this time it is her turn not to enter the eldest wife's house.

The sun at noon is very strong, and the poisonous sun is the most tanning in autumn.Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Xiren felt that his skin was getting oily from the sun.But in order for Bao Erye to leave Shangshu Mansion, she felt that it was all worth it, and made up her mind to wait till death.Just when Xiren was sun-drenched, Xiaohong came out and called her into the room crisply.

Xiren shivered, and immediately regained his spirits. He lowered his head and followed Xiaohong into the house.As soon as Xiren entered the room, he glanced around the furnishings from the corner of his eye. The display was exquisite and magnificent, and it was more than twice as good as Rongxi Hall.

Xiren was amazed by the luxurious furnishings in the room, and had another thought in his heart.Why did the eldest wife say that she had no money to build a palace for the second room? It turned out that it was because of this. She must have wanted to spend all the money in the mansion on her own room to be reconciled.How selfish and vicious his intentions are!

Xiren followed Xiaohong into the back room, and the incense burner inside the room was burning incense, which made people feel peaceful and peaceful.

Xing was lying on her side on the imperial concubine's couch, with a pillow under her head, holding a book by her waist, her eyes half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep.

When Xiren saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat again. Could it be that he still has to wait in the room for another hour?

Xiaohong tried in a low voice: "Madam?"

Xing's eyelids moved slightly, and he opened his eyes. His pretty face was instantly covered by the sharpness that flashed from his eyes.

Seeing this, Xiren couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, and then his heart beat wildly, as if about to burst his chest.Xiren quickly bowed his head and greeted Mrs. Xing.

"Forget it," Xing said lazily.

Xiaohong stepped forward to help Mrs. Xing, and served him warm tea that had just dried.Xing took two sips, and then tapped the corners of his eyes with a wet towel to refresh himself.

"Want to take your Second Master Jiabao back?"

Xiren trembled in his heart, looked up at Xing Shi in surprise, then nodded to avoid her gaze. "The eldest wife is wise."

"No." Xing smiled and answered simply.

Before Xiren had time to react, She Yue was led into the door by the servant girl Jiao Hong.

Musk Moon's opinions were striking, her eyes flickered with fear, and then quickly calmed down. When she was standing, she instinctively leaned towards the direction of the eldest lady.

Xiren looked at Musk Moon in surprise: "Why are you here? Didn't the second master tell you to go back to the house?" Xiren found that Musk Moon always looked at the eldest wife from time to time, and had a guess in his heart, "Musk Moon, Wouldn't you be?" Xiren couldn't ask the second half of the sentence because of the occasion, but she had already found the answer from Musk Moon's dodging eyes.

"How is the second wife?" Xing asked.

Xiren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "I'm in better spirits, and I can eat something. The doctor said that I can raise it slowly, and I can get better." The second half of the sentence was added by Xiren without permission. of.At this moment, she must not let the eldest wife think that she has no threats in the future.

"That's good." Xing said in a flat tone, showing no joy or anger.

Xiren was silent for a while, thinking over the words a hundred times in his stomach, before he dared to say: "Ma'am, I think Second Master Bao is seriously injured, and he is clamoring to go back. A sick person is most afraid of getting angry. It's not easy to get better. I think it's better to send Second Master Bao back first, Second Master Bao has truly repented now, and he knew that his wife taught him for his own good."

Xing smiled lightly: "Really, he really regrets? Are you bluffing me, or is he bluffing me?"

The attacker was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down to make amends and said: "This servant has no intention of lying to my wife, everything that this servant said is true."

"Okay, since it's true, it's considered that he has sincerely repented. Since everyone knows that he was wrong, why don't he just live here to heal his injuries before leaving, why is he in a hurry to go back to the old lady and complain?" Xing retorted. .

Xiren was choked up and had nothing to say, and after a long time of reaction, he hesitated and said: "The eldest lady misunderstood, the second master Bao just missed his grandmother very much. If the eldest wife doesn't believe it, this servant is willing to sacrifice his life for the second son." Lord, I guarantee that Second Lord will never sue the eldest lady in front of the old lady."

"You promise for him, are you a lowly maid, are you qualified to be his guarantor?" Mrs. Xing looked at this Xiren coldly. He was really a simple and honest treacherous minister. .

Xiren's eyes were filled with tears when Xing said it, and he bowed his head in silence.At first glance, it is really pitiful.

The Xing family has become a villain again.

The Xing family hates double-faced people the most, and has no intention of showing mercy.She knew that this guy looked at his face and said nothing now, secretly he was not sure how to curse her viciously, and tried to set her up.

This kind of person must not be merciful, leaving one to ruin his life.

"Remember your identity, your duty is to be a servant girl, the first class is a maid, the second and third class are also maids, there is no difference between you. Don't think that you are superior to others just because you can climb into the master's bed."

When Xiren heard Xing's last words, his eyes almost popped out in shock.How could the eldest lady know?Only she and Second Master Bao knew about that matter, could it be Second Master Bao... No, Second Master Bao would never say anything!But how did the eldest lady know?

At this moment, Xiren was so ashamed that he really wanted to become a mouse, so he immediately burrowed into a hole to hide.Xiren's cheeks were hot on both sides, which was worse than being slapped and felt ashamed.

"Your second wife is in better health, and I can't bear to tell her about it. If she knows that her rare precious son is raising a vixen by her side, what can she do with you, let me say?" Xing took a sip of tea. , said absently.

The attacker was so frightened that he trembled all over, and hurriedly kowtowed to the eldest wife to beg for mercy.Last time she was just having a casual quarrel with Baoyu, and the second wife saw her and almost sent her out.If the second wife knew that she had that kind of relationship with Baoyu, wouldn't she be skinned?

Xiren kowtowed violently, begging the eldest wife for her life, and kowtowed his head black.

Xiaohong hurriedly grabbed her, and scolded her: "Don't knock any more, Madam won't be able to see the blood."

Hearing this, Xiren felt even more insulted, co-authored that even when she kowtows and bleeds, she despises her for being dirty?

"That's a later story. Now you can stay in the mansion safely and take care of Baoyu. If things are done well, I don't like to be that kind of talkative person." Xing said lightly.

Seeing that he was saved, Xiren quickly kowtowed again to thank him, and then retreated.

Xiaohong watched her go, sneered in her heart, turned around and came to the eldest wife.

"Madam, are you really going to let her go?"

"Let them mess around and get mixed up in anything. They will kill themselves if they do many unrighteous acts, and their power to influence the Rongguo Mansion is almost exhausted."

Running out of breath?Xiao Hong was shocked, and wanted to ask his wife the meaning behind her words, but she saw that she was already lying on the imperial concubine couch and closed her eyes.Xiao Hong tactfully sat on the side embroidering, quietly guarding her master.

Baoyu looked left and right, didn't even eat lunch, and finally waited to come back to attack people.He asked in surprise if he could leave, and when he looked closely, he found that Xi Ren's forehead was red and swollen.

"what happened to you?"

Xiren turned his head away, shaking his head with tears in his eyes.

"Let me see." Baoyu stretched out his hand to pinch Xiren's chin, carefully looked at the forehead on her hand, and asked distressedly, "It's so swollen, does it hurt?"

Xiren blinked, and tears fell down in a string of grievances.

Baoyu stood up excitedly, ignoring the buttocks in his hands. "I have to argue with her today, it's fine to bully me, why beat my maid, you are all so cute and pure, you are all like Jiaohua, what's wrong with you!" Baoyu shouted and beat her. Shasha is about to crusade against the heinous Xing family.

Xiren was crying and begging for Baoyu. Now she has something in Xing's hands, so she must not be messed with.Baoyu was persuaded by the attackers several times before she settled down, but her heart was in great pain.He couldn't even stand the one he loved before, but now the most important person around him is being bullied, but he can only watch helplessly, how depressed!

Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief in his stomach and chest, and couldn't express it.

Xiren coaxed Baoyu to sleep, only to think of Musk Moon, and secretly came to the back door of the eldest wife's yard to find someone, and called Musk Moon to confront him.

Musk Moon had expected this to be said a long time ago, so she couldn't hide it.

"Second Master asked you to send a message. Where did you go? Why are you still in the eldest wife's room?"

"It's useless to explain anything now, because I blamed myself in the past. I also advise you to do it yourself." After saying that, Musk Moon turned around and left, ignoring the attackers.

……

In two days, the rural examination for this autumn will officially start.Lin Hai, a scholar of the Wuyingdian University, and Sandfly, the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, jointly presided over the examination.

In the early morning of this day, there was a scholar standing at the gate of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, wearing a blue coarse linen jacket.

The scholar knocked on the door, seeing the servant of the Shangshu Mansion, he didn't intend to follow suit, he just said lightly: "Tell your master, a talented person is here, and he needs a banquet to welcome the wind."
