Raiders of the maid who crossed the Red Mansion

After hearing this, both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were taken aback. They couldn't help looking at Baochai. Seeing that her face was calm and did not show the slightest bit of anger, they felt both admiration and pity in their hearts. They all blamed Baoyu for being ignorant. , guarding such a general-minded daughter-in-law, but still can't let Daiyu go.

So Jia's mother was half coaxing, half teaching, and said to Baoyu: "Since your sister Lin is recuperating outside, she wants to be quiet. Why do you bother her anymore? Besides, you are better, and you need to rest. , I only let your daughter-in-law watch over you, and you are absolutely not allowed to run around."

Unexpectedly, Baoyu didn't back down, and still knelt on the bed and kowtowed: "Old ancestor, old ancestor, please obey me this time, and I have met Sister Lin. If she ignores me again, I won't think about it anymore. Don't worry." Stay in this mansion completely, not going anywhere!"

Hearing Baoyu speak so sadly and earnestly, Mother Jia didn't feel distressed. Although she always loved Baoyu the most, she was very careful in major matters and would not let him be willful. If he rashly agreed to this matter, it would not only be a mistake. Missed Baoyu, missed Baochai, and missed Daiyu!

For the sake of the Jia family, for the sake of the beloved grandson, Jia's mother has already been ashamed of her granddaughter, and she feels extremely guilty, and of course she doesn't want to make her suffer any more harm.

After making up her mind, Mother Jia stopped consoling Baoyu, but put on a straight face and taught her a very serious lesson: "Don't say I don't want you to disturb your sister Lin, I agreed, and you can't go to that place casually." !"

Jia's mother seldom flirted with herself, and Baoyu was also terrified when she heard her speak loudly: "Where is it? Why can sister Lin go, but I can't?"

Baochai moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated, bit her lips lightly, and then hung her head in silence.

"It's the family temple of Prince Beijing. It was specially built for his concubines who became monks to practice. Your sister Lin is going to recuperate from illness and also to accompany this empress. You say you are a jobless man, can you go in?"

"what……"

In order to break Baoyu's thoughts, Jia's mother turned her heart and told the truth. Sure enough, Baoyu's eyes widened and her mouth was tongue-tied.

He has been to the Beijing Prince's Mansion three or two times. The Prince of Beijing has always favored him. Not only did he give him a lot of gifts, but he also led him into the house, went to the garden to watch flowers and fish, went to the study to enjoy calligraphy and paintings, and invited him Chatting with guests under the door without putting on airs at all.

But Baoyu is now sober, and he knows that it is one thing for the king of Beijing to treat him kindly, but it is another matter for the strict legislation and rules. It's the former princess's pure cultivation place, and I can't step into it no matter what!

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the prince and concubine, not to mention not being able to see Sister Lin, I'm afraid that under the wrath of King Beijing Jing, even the Eldest Master, Master, Brother Zhen, and even the two houses of Ning Rong will be implicated.

Although Baoyu looked frustrated, his excited expression finally cooled down. Jia Mu hurriedly took advantage of the situation to comfort him: "You are a good boy. Since you know you can't go, you can just live at home and raise him until you are better physically and mentally." Now, at least pick up the books and teach you, and your wife will be happy too." As Jiamu said, she took a special look at Baochai to show that she understood her painstaking efforts.

Because Baoyu was still young, Jia's mother just pampered her blindly. Now she sees that he is married, and Baochai is sensible. In addition, she has recently felt that the children of the two houses are either arrogant, promiscuous, idle, or ignorant. But looking in the eyes, I can't help worrying.

No matter how much she dotes on Baoyu, she also hopes that he can become a talent, that he can revitalize the family business and support the lintel in the future. He can't be like a child all his life.

Mrs. Wang was relieved when she heard what Jia Mu said, and hurriedly echoed: "The old lady said it very well, did you all hear it?"

She said this to Baoyu, and at the same time she was looking at Baochai. Even though Baochai was troubled, she had no choice but to answer: "Yes".

Baoyu lowered his head and kept silent. When he heard Baochai's answer, he also answered in a low voice.

Jia Mu only thought that he was convinced by her own words, and thought that he had just recovered from a long illness and couldn't bear to be disturbed by everyone, so she ordered Xiren to take care of him carefully. After not being careless, she also planned to leave and go to the Buddhist hall to recite the scriptures. Thanks to the gods and Buddhas for the protection, the psychic treasure jade was lost and recovered, and the treasure jade healed without medicine. I hope he will get better and better from then on.

Mrs. Wang was as thoughtful as Jia's mother, and she also asked Baochai to follow her.

As soon as Jia's mother walked outside the door, she saw Hu Po, the maid in her room, walking up and down the corridor with her head bowed and twisting her belt, as if she was in a hurry. Yuanyang called her first: "Hu Po, what are you doing?" Here we come, but what's going on in the house?"

Amber glanced at Mrs. Wang behind Jia Mu, her expression was timid, and she didn't dare to speak.

The mandarin ducks were also surprised and did not dare to make their own way, so they cast a consulting look at Jia's mother.

Leaning on crutches, Jiamu walked down the steps to the center of the courtyard, a little far away from the big house, but she guessed that the people inside could not hear her, so she asked Amber, "What's the matter, so hard to say?"

Only then did Hu Po approach Jia Mu, and said softly, "Old lady, Zijuan is here, waiting at the other end of the room."

"Zicuckoo? The maid who went with Lin Yatou?" Jia Mu still couldn't believe it, so she asked again.

"Yes..." Amber's complexion was pale, her eyes flickered, as if she was quite frightened.

Although Jia Mu was surprised at first, then she was happy.

Daiyu had been there for a few days, she was old and sick, she wanted to take care of Baoyu's side, and she didn't want to arouse her family's guesswork, so she didn't go to visit Daiyu, and she was very worried, not knowing how she was doing in the lotus nunnery. Hearing that Zicuckoo was coming, she immediately cheered up, but walked faster, and Yuanyang hurried to catch up with her.

Mrs. Wang hesitated a bit, and naturally she missed Daiyu, but after all, she was not as good as Jia Mu, and she was still afraid of the weird things that happened to Daiyu and Zijuan.

Besides, Baoyu's psychic jade was obviously lost for a long time, and the two houses searched all over the place, but they were only three feet away from the ground, and they never disappeared. Why did it appear in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion? Or was it buried in the place where Daiyu died? night, in a pot of ashes that were burnt out?

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she had to say that she was unwell, and confessed to Jia Mu: "I feel a little dizzy, so I won't follow. The old lady will help me tell Zijuan what to eat. It's useful, just go with Feng girl."

Mother Jia was a little dissatisfied when she heard this, and she didn't force her, she just said lightly: "Go back to the house and rest, what is missing for Miss Lin, I just take it here, and Miss Feng is also sick, one more thing is worse than one less thing." .”

Mrs. Wang answered yes embarrassingly, supported by Caiyun, and hurried back to her room.

But it turned out that after Sister Feng's miscarriage, she had a redness syndrome, which was good and bad. In the past two days, Baoyu and Daiyu were busy doing things, and it became more serious. She was weak and lying on the bed, unable to manage things. , still assisted by Tanchun and Pinger.

Led by Amber, Grandmother Jia came to the little flower hall where she used to play with her grandchildren. Sure enough, she saw the back of Zijuan standing in the courtyard, and when she heard the movement outside, she immediately walked up to Grandmother Jia, prostrated herself, and said: : "Greetings to the old lady."

Mother Jia called out hurriedly, and looked at her carefully. Zijuan had been tanned for more than half a month, but her face was more healthy and plump. Thinking of Daiyu, she was both happy and anxious, and hurriedly sat down in the hall. , and ordered someone to move a low stool, and let Zicuckoo sit at his feet.

Zijuan refused again and again and wanted to stand up to answer. Mother Jia said that I have a lot of questions to ask you. It is convenient for you to sit. She just sat down and turned slightly sideways, waiting for Mother Jia's question.

Seeing Zicuckoo's quiet and decent appearance, Jia Mu secretly praised it.Thinking of the day or two when she came back from the dead, she was full of nonsense and acted strangely. It has only been a few days, not only has she recovered, but she is even smarter than before. rest assured.

Mother Jia insisted on letting Zicuckoo drink half a cup of tea, and then asked: "But girl Lin sent you back? Is she okay in the nunnery? Is there anything missing? What does the princess think of her?"

Missing her granddaughter, she asked a lot of questions in one breath.

Zijuan smiled and waited for her to finish asking before replying unhurriedly: "So that the old lady can rest assured that everything is fine with the girl. Not only did she eat more food, but she also stopped coughing a lot at night. The former princess Liandu liked it very much." Girl, girl is copying scriptures for Master Liandu, and master is also trying to explain some scriptures to girl. The two of them meet almost every day. Girl doesn’t need anything, so she sent me back to the mansion. Deliveries from old ladies and ladies and girls."

Zicuckoo spoke fluently and methodically, and Jia Mu was very pleased at first, but at the end she was curious: "Send something? Miss Lin, what can I give you?"

Zijuan opened the suitcase she carried with her, pointed to a dozen pottery jars inside, and said, "These are some southern side dishes that the girl ordered me to pickle, and I gave them to my wife, grandma and girls." For the appetizer, the vegetables grown in the nunnery are extremely fresh. This alone was given to the old lady by the girl."

Jiamu took it, and saw it was a very delicate sandalwood box, she opened it, and felt that the brilliance was shining, shining on her eyebrows. On the top, it is even more radiant and gratifying.

The mandarin duck standing behind Jia Mu also had his eyes lit up, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and exclaimed "ah".

Jia's mother had seen countless treasures in her life, and she was really surprised: "This, this is what Lin girl gave me? But where did she get it?"

Seeing the effect achieved, Zijuan was secretly pleased with herself, but on the surface she was still calm: "It was given to the girl by Prince Beijing Jing. The girl is very filial, knowing that the old lady has always recited Buddha's name, so she asked me to give it to the old lady."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she was even more surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Given it by the Prince of Beijing? What's going on here?"

Daiyu was sent to the Lotus Nunnery because of Taoist Zhang's recommendation. Daiyu was favored by the princess and lived in the nunnery. Mother Jia felt very lucky. A woman in his temple giving gifts?

There is another level, even Jia Mu didn't dare to think about it, the prince likes Baoyu, that's all, after all, Daiyu is a girl in the boudoir, no matter how noble the prince is, he is also a foreigner, why did he give her such a precious gift inexplicably? Not quite right.

Zijuan observed what she said and knew what Jiamu was worried about, so she told Daiyu's father, Mr. Lin Hai, how he was the prince's teacher more than ten years ago. The prince was very nostalgic.The girl responded well, the prince and master Liandu liked it very much, and felt sorry for the girl's loneliness, so they recognized this junior sister on the spot, and then sent the housekeeper and grandmother of the palace, Mrs. Wei, to send a gift, and then divided the gifts. Tell Jiamu about it.

Mother Jia knew that the son-in-law had taught the son of Prince Xian Beijing, but it was so long that even she had completely forgotten about it. She never thought that the prince was so caring.

This is not the most important thing. Hearing Zijuan say that both the prince and the ex-concubine "pity the girl's loneliness", she couldn't help but thump in her chest.

This Wei Renbo is the chief steward of the Beijing Prince's Mansion, since the prince sent a housekeeper lady to give Daiyu a gift, it shows that he attaches great importance to her.

I sent Daiyu out by myself, although it was very helpless, but in the eyes of outsiders, it was a bit ruthless in the end. The Prince of Beijing and his wife both cared about their old love and liked Daiyu, but don't think that the Jia family is heartless and ungrateful. The sick niece forcefully pushes it out, as long as there is such a grudge in the heart of Prince Beijing, it will probably be bad for Jia's family, especially for officials in the court. "

Fortunately, Zijuan continued to say: "After the girl paid her respects, she reported back to Master Liandu, saying that the one she misses the most is the old lady, and the old lady has always loved the girl the most. The girl has nothing to be filial to, so she just wants to give her away." This rosary was given to the old lady, and Master Liandu praised the girl for her filial piety, so she readily agreed."

After hearing this, Jia Mu felt a little relieved and even more ashamed.

In the past, I only thought that Miss Lin was capricious, and Girl Bao was lenient. I never thought that my granddaughter would be so knowledgeable. She is really cruel.

Mother Jia rubbed the rosary in her hand, it was crystal clear and moist, just like a granddaughter's sad and clear eyes, her nose was sour, she was about to shed tears, she hurriedly took out her handkerchief, wiped the corners of her eyes, put the jasper beads back into the box, Carefully hand it to Yuanyang to put it away, then turn around and say to Zijuan: "My good boy, you go back and tell Lin girl, thanks to her kindness, I am very happy, let her take care of her with peace of mind, listen to Master Liandu, don't take too much Thinking about something, I'll pick her up soon after I'm here."

Zijuan's goal was achieved, and she was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she swayed her gun and retreated: "The girl said that the Lotus Temple is very good, and it is under the care of the prince and Master Liandu. The old lady is down." Don't be in a hurry to pick it up, just wait until everything is convenient."

"No, no, I must pick it up early. No matter how nice it is outside, and no matter how friendly the prince and his wife are, I won't be at ease after all if she is alone outside!"

After hearing this, Zijuan almost didn't smile from her heart, but her face was still quiet: "I know, I will tell the girl to know when I go back, the old lady misses her very much. The girl still misses her days." The bird in the cage, please go to the third girl to have a look, if the old lady has no other orders, may I go now?"

Jia Mu nodded frequently: "Go ahead, eat at the third girl's place, and come back to my place later, I have something to ask you."

"Yes." Zicuckoo took two jars of pickled vegetables, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and went out of Jiamu's house to Qiushuangzhai in Grand View Garden.

Zijuan is going to Tanchun, not only because she is generous and loyal, and was the first one who dared to visit Xiaoxiang Hall when she and Daiyu were in the most difficult situation, but also because Tanchun is the most capable and most eloquent among all the sisters. Even if she will marry sooner or later, as long as she is at home and still thinks about the girl, it will always be of great benefit to the girl.
