There is no phoenix

Seeing Daiyu Zijuan leave, Baoyu was still staring at the white parrot in the corridor in a daze, and hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao, we have already packed your books for you. The master said, let you read them tomorrow." Go to his study room first, and see if there are any books for yourself, right?"

Baoyu didn't look back, looked at the parrot and said, "Qiuwen, you just pack it up, I believe you won't miss anything."

Musk Moon hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao, these books of yours were originally taken away by attackers, so I advise Second Master to check it out by himself first? Or we will be the ones who will be scolded if we arrive at the school tomorrow and something is missing. "

After hearing this, Baoyu had no choice but to go into the house, opened the two bundles of Sheyue Qiuwen, looked at them, and said: "Don't worry, there is nothing missing, just bring these enough."

After Baoyu finished speaking, he asked Sheyue and Qiuwen, "Sheyue, Qiuwen, what disease do you think Xiren has? Why haven't you come back for so many days?"

Sheyue and Qiuwen shook their heads and said, "Second Master Bao asked us, but we didn't know. But the matter of Xiren was personally arranged by my wife, presumably Xiren's illness is very serious."

Baoyu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go to Xiren's brother's house to take a look. If she recovers, I'll ask my wife to call her back earlier."

At this moment, Que'er, a little girl from Mrs. Wang's courtyard, came in and said, "Second Master Bao, my wife told you to go over now."

After hearing this, Baoyu straightened her clothes and followed Que'er to Mrs. Wang.

Baoyu followed Que'er to Mrs. Wang's room, and saw Mrs. Wang sitting at the table reading scriptures.Baoyu went up to see Li and asked, "I don't know what my wife called me?"

Mrs. Wang put down the scriptures, looked at Baoyu solemnly and said, "Baoyu, you also heard yesterday that there are many young masters like you in the capital who are either concentrating on studying literature at home or studying martial arts outside. You are 15 years old now, you The elder sister is a noble concubine. Although your father is not a high-ranking official, he often walks around in the court. The hereditary uncle in this mansion is your uncle. Now your second brother Lian has also gone to the Northwest battlefield to practice, and the son of Dongfu Rong has also gone. They will have a decent job when they come back. If you don't take care, your health is not good, and you often suffer from this disease and that disease. Who will our second wife count on in the future? How will your eldest sister get along with other empresses in the palace? Baoyu, you Have you ever thought about this?"

After hearing this, Baoyu saw that Mrs. Wang was speaking harshly, and hurriedly said: "I understand what the master and wife mean. From tomorrow onwards, I will study hard. I will fight for the master and wife, and for the elder sister."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang calmed down and said: "Baoyu, your father is getting angry this time. From tomorrow onwards, you and Huan'er Lan'er will both go to school attentively. If you continue to be as loose as before, you will still mess around with girls every day. , you can be more careful, the old lady and I will not plead for you!"

Baoyu said: "Madam, don't worry, I won't do it anymore, I will definitely learn well at home. But there is one thing, I want to ask my wife, I wonder if Xiren's illness is cured now?"

When Mrs. Wang saw Baoyu asking about Xiren, she saw that all the maids in the room had gone out, and she couldn't help but said angrily: "Baoyu, are you still ashamed to ask Xiren? What kind of activities do you usually do in Yihong Courtyard, let me and the old lady go out?" No peace at all! Baoyu, let me tell you, don’t mention Xiren in front of me again within a year! The doctor said that Xiren’s disease will take at least one or two years to be cured. Those girls in your house, You can only treat them as girls for the time being, do you understand what I say?"

After hearing this, Baoyu thought about Qingwen, and hurriedly said, "Madam, why did Xiren suddenly become so ill? I mean, I'm used to Xiren serving me, so I hope she will come back soon."

Mrs. Wang saw that Baoyu still didn't understand, and was still struggling with the matter of attacking people. She said sharply: "Baoyu, let me tell you, don't worry about the matter of attacking people. I have already arranged it. Let me tell you, the disease of attacking people It's not a minor illness, it will hurt others, so she has to recuperate outside. The doctor said that although this disease is not fatal, it can be easily passed on to others. If you really like Xiren and can't do without her, then you will be fine. She is good at studying and working hard, and when Xi Ren recovers from her illness in a year or two, I will send someone to bring her back. If not, you will never want to see her again for the rest of your life!"

After hearing this, Baoyu wanted to argue, but seeing that Mrs. Wang's face was different from the past, full of anger, she had to retreat silently.

Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard, lay on the bed with his back to the sky and sighed.Thinking about Xiren, I was full of doubts, but Mrs. Wang had made it so clear that if she wanted to go to Xiren, she was afraid that Xiren would end up like Qingwen.Besides, Mrs. Wang was already very angry when she mentioned Xiren today. If she wanted to go out to see Xiren behind Mrs. Wang's back, Baoyu really didn't dare.

Baoyu thought about the situation in the Grand View Garden before him, and felt more and more lost and boring.Since Baochai and Baoqin moved out, Xiangyun has only been here on June [-], and Baochai and Baoqin rarely come here.Both Xichun and Daiyu don't like to visit. I heard that they only like to visit Miaoyu at Changcui Temple during this period of time.Yingchun has already been taken over by Mrs. Xing to be married. Because Sister Feng is ill, Tanchun helps Mrs. Wang Li Wan with housekeeping. He occasionally sees her at Mrs. Wang's place a few times, but he doesn't even say a word.

Without people like Tanchun, Daiyu, Baochai and Baoqin welcoming the spring and celebrating the spring, the Grand View Garden no longer had the lively atmosphere of the day, not to mention forming associations and composing poems.

Baoyu thought about Mrs. Wang's words, and Jia Zheng wanted to study hard by himself, and felt even more depressed.I wanted to go to Jia Mu's place to ask Jia Mu to intercede not to go to the family school, but it was probably useless, so I had to lie on the bed and feel bored.

Early the next morning, Autumn Musk Moon woke up Baoyu and asked Baoyu to get dressed and wash up.Then he sent the little girl to pass Mingyan and several people over, and went to the second gate to hand them Baoyu's school books and packages.Baoyu then took Mingyan and a few servants to Jia Zheng's office.

Baoyu came to Jia Zheng's study and saw that Jia Lan was already waiting outside Jia Zheng's study. A young man said, "Second Master Bao, just now the master has gone out on something. Let you wait here. The master should be back soon."

After a while, Jia Huan also came.When Jia Zheng came back, he couldn't help telling Baoyu Jiahuan and Jia Lan a few words, and then he took the three of them into the car.The boys took their things and kept coming to the home school.

The family school is still the old gentleman Jia Dairu.Jia Zheng asked Baoyu, Jiahuan and Jialan to salute Dairu, and asked Dairu to sit down first, and then sat down himself.

Jia Zheng said: "I came here in person today, just to ask my husband to teach the three of them well. These children are not young anymore. In the past two years, because of the many things in the house, they have delayed a lot of their studies. I think they are growing up now. When you grow up, you have to learn how to be an adult, which is the right way to become famous all your life. They are not material for learning martial arts, so I send them to you today. Usually they write poems and songs, but no matter how good these are, they are not good enough. It has nothing to do with the business of life.”

Dai Confucianism said: "These children are decent in appearance and good in spirit, but they are wild and playful, so they don't like to study. As long as they are taught strictly, they will achieve something."

Jia Zheng said: "It should be like this. It was the women who misled them. I came here today to ask my grandfather to discipline them well. If they don't listen to the instructions, just ask someone to tell me. I will punish them myself. I just hope that they will not be in nameless." The whiteness will delay their life."

After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he stood up and bowed to Dai Confucianism.He also asked Baoyu Jiahuan and Jialan a few words before leaving, and sent Confucianism to the outside of the family school. Seeing that Jia Zheng had gone away, he returned.

From then on, Baoyu Jiahuan and Jialan went to school every day.Mrs. Jia Muwang was also happy and relieved when she heard that Baoyu's uncle and nephew were studying quietly at home.

In a blink of an eye, it was September [-]st, the day when Mrs. Jia Muwang entered the palace.

Early in the morning, Mother Jia brought Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Youshi into the palace to visit Concubine Yuan.The sedan chair arrived at the gate of the palace, several people got off the sedan chair, a few young eunuchs led the way to Yuan Concubine's bedroom, and several maids brought them into the room.

After Mrs. Jia Mu Wang greeted her, the concubine Yuan gave her a seat, and asked about the situation at home, and Jia Mu answered one by one.

Concubine Yuan asked Baoyu again, Mrs. Wang said: "Baoyu is quite willing to read recently, and I heard that he can also write well."

Concubine Yuan said: "That's good. Baoyu is 15 years old. He should study well before taking the exam. It's not in vain that the old lady and mother love him so much."

Mother Jia also told Baoyu about her engagement to Baochai. Concubine Yuan nodded and said, "Sister Xue was really good when I saw her at the beginning. With her to accompany Baoyu, Baoyu will definitely make great progress. Now Baoyu can study at home with peace of mind. In a year or two , just let him go to the examination room to try."

Jia's mother said: "What your mother said is true, and we think so too. Now that Lian'er and Rong'er have gone to the west, there is no way to do it. They are all married but have no position. After all, it is not a long-term solution. Your mother values ​​Baoyu For the sake of Baoyu's future, it would be better if a decree can be given to marry her."

Concubine Yuan thought for a while and said: "It's also easy. My aunt's family is the emperor's businessman, and Baoyu is my younger brother. I just want to have dinner with the emperor in a while. I will ask the emperor's will and let you bring it." go back."

Mrs. Jia Muwang was delighted when she heard this.The mother and daughter talked about some daily life again, Mrs. Wang asked Concubine Yuan softly, "How is Your Majesty doing now? Have you consulted the imperial physician?"

After hearing this, Concubine Yuan sighed and said: "In the past few years, the emperor has had so many things going on one after another, and he can't take care of anything. I will not hide it from the old lady and mother, the emperor seldom comes to my place now."

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard this, they were very surprised.To know why, see below.
