Baochai went straight back to the new house, Sheyue had already lighted a dream sweet fragrance, Baoyu's eyebrows and eyes were already dark, Baochai waited on him first and fell asleep, and told the maids to watch carefully, and then changed into filial piety. Still go forward to serve Mrs. Wang's wake.

The precious jade foot was raised for more than a month before it gradually recovered. At that time, Jia Mu's funeral had already been held, and Mrs. Wang had already handed over all the affairs of the house to Baochai.Although there is no major event, it is very cumbersome for a family of masters and servants to come and go every day, and to collect silverware, so Baochai entrusted Baoyu to Sheyue to take care of it.

After this change, Baoyu also changed his temper. He no longer plays and sips with the girls on weekdays. He stays in the room every day either to sleep or to find some idle books to read.When Baochai came back in the evening, he took Baochai to talk about poetry and gossip.Although Baochai didn't do this, but for Baoyu's speedy recovery, she was willing to use these things to make fun of him.

One morning, before daylight, someone from Wu Xing's family came to report, saying that the woman in the garden had stolen it, and asked the woman in Cha Ye to catch him and ask Baochai for instructions.Baochai was sitting in front of the dressing table combing her hair and asked, "Have you ever returned to your wife? What did your wife say?" Wu Xing's family said: "I have returned to my wife, and my wife can let the second grandma decide." Baochai thought for a moment , and asked again: "What did you steal? Could someone be with her?" Wu Xing's family suddenly stopped asking, and he hesitated and couldn't answer.Baochai had already changed her clothes, and when she saw Wu Xing's family's face was flushed, she knew she must have never asked these questions, because she said, "Forget it, I'll go and see for myself!" Then he helped Yinger's hand and went into the garden .

Seeing that Baochai had gone, Baoyu felt even more bored, so he took a collection of Bai's Changqing collection from the shelf, flipped through it boredly, and suddenly saw a sentence in it: "Shangqiongbi falls to Huangquan, and the two places are boundless." I don't see you." Suddenly, my heart tightened, and I couldn't help but shed tears, so I hurriedly covered it with my sleeves, took advantage of Musk Moon's inattention, and sneaked out of the door, and went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion by a familiar road.

At this time, the sky is about to break dawn, and there is a half-round solitary moon obliquely hanging on the blue-white sky. The flowers and trees in the garden are withered, and the decayed grass is overgrown, and it is desolate.Bao Yuxin stepped into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and saw the fallen leaves rustling, the cold smoke indistinct, and everything was silent, except for the whispering of grass and insects.

Baoyu first stood under the window for a while, then took a deep breath after a long while, opened the door and entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, only to see that all the furnishings in the room have not been changed, the brushes and inkstones are still there, and the fragrance of books is dusty.Baoyu felt uncomfortable, and saw that there was still an incense burner on the desk, so he held the incense burner to the desk where Daiyu wrote daily, took out two stars of agarwood from her purse, and respectfully burned it in the stove, and poured it out with tears in her eyes. A salute.Suddenly there was a morning breeze, and Baoyu raised his head, only to see the curtains swaying slightly, and the veils fluttering, like shadows of people. It is a Yaoqin hanging on the white wall, reflecting the swaying bamboo shadows.

When she was feeling sad, she suddenly heard someone sighing behind her. Baoyu hurriedly turned her head and saw that it was Baochai who was standing at the door holding Sheyue. son is here?"

It turned out that Baochai followed Wu Xing's family into the garden, met the thief woman, and saw the stolen goods, which were just candles, lamp oil, shredded silk and satin, and nothing of value.Baochai didn't intend to deal with it, but the old woman complained about her grievances, saying that Wu Xing's family had enmity with her, so she set up a trick to falsely accuse her of stealing, and wanted her master to drive her out.Wu Xing's family also knelt down and called for grievances, but they never thought that the old woman cried and said, "Second Grandma Bao is in charge! These things are all saved by me in private, not stolen from the mansion! Since Dalian Second Grandma didn't care This house is in chaos! The wife doesn’t care about things like a Buddha, and the big and small things in the house are decided by these housekeepers! If you want to say thieves! They are the thieves!"

Baochai was also shocked when she heard this, and Wu Xing's family was still ready to argue, but Baochai stopped her and asked the old woman to continue.The mother-in-law cried: "Grandma Sangu Meng is the master. Last year, we distributed all the flowers and trees in the garden to take care of them, and all the silver money was also returned to it. Second Grandma Bao also knows about this." Baochai pointed Nodding her head, she heard the woman go on to say: "Later, Lian'er's grandma changed a few things, but she didn't make any big changes! There were a lot of things at home a few days ago, and these housekeeper grandmas were wasting every day! Zheng Hua's family fell in love with Zhu. The piece of bamboo wrapped by my mother was coerced and forced to hand over the piece of bamboo. Zhu Ma refused, so they went to the wife to apply eye drops. There are lotus pods, forcing me to give up that piece of land to them! How can I give it? Now there are few girls in the garden, so there is no benefit. There are natural disasters and wars outside, and the price of rice is one day. Seeing this piece of lotus pod, at least the whole family can still have a mouthful of porridge to drink. If I gave it to them, my whole family would starve to death! They saw that I didn’t give it to them, so they tried to throw me out too!”

Wu Xingjia's face turned red and white, Baochai looked at her expression and knew that what the woman said was true.It's common for servants to have disputes over petty gains, but Wu Xing's family's behavior is harmful and deceiving the master is very abominable, but she is Mrs. Wang's companion, so I can't deal with it myself.Just in trouble, Musk Moon came in hurriedly, saying that Baoyu had disappeared.When Baochai heard this, she hurriedly asked people to watch the woman and Wu Xing's family first.Only then did she help Sheyue, and went all the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Baoyuguo was standing in the room as soon as she entered.Baochai couldn't help sighing when he saw that the pavilion was still there, and things were different, but he didn't want to, but Baoyu was disturbed. When their eyes met, they both felt embarrassed.

Just at this moment, Xiufeng from Nuanxiangwu trotted all the way over, saw Baochai and kowtowed, "I beg Second Grandma to go and see Fourth Miss!"
