Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

In the dead of night, the serving maids fell asleep, but Aunt Zhao who was lying down woke up. She walked lightly to Jia Huan's room, carefully sat next to the bed, and stretched out her hand to wipe Jia Huan's face. Gently remove the covered hair.

"Why didn't mother go to bed?" Jia Huan woke up when he heard the movement. He opened his eyes and saw Aunt Zhao in a daze. When he wanted to get up, he found that his stomach hurt very much. He stretched out his hand to hold his stomach, hissing in pain gasping for air.

"If you hadn't acted quickly, I would never have allowed you to do such a thing that hurt your body. You are just a girl, why would you use yourself to replace it?" Although Aunt Zhao's forehead looked scary, , In fact, the injury was not serious. She hit it with a sharp one on purpose, but it was just a cut, and even her head didn't hurt much.

"The news came from Chungeng yesterday, and Mu Kun told me about it. Originally, it was the work I had to do as soon as I came back. Who would have thought that the wife would be sent out. Today, the population of the mansion is small, and the people who serve me A few of them were assigned by Zhou Rui's family to serve in Wang Ziteng's mansion, and if you don't do it today, you won't have a chance to do it." Jia Huan explained to Aunt Zhao in a low voice, besides, his cheap father just found out something, this If it wasn't because of his own life that he was provoked to come out, I am afraid that after waiting for a long time, he would really be persuaded by the eloquent old lady.

Aunt Zhao carefully hugged Jia Huan in her arms, and slowly rubbed his stomach for him. After thinking for a while, she helped Jia Huan to lie down, and got up by herself: "I'll cook some white porridge for you, at least eat some." After that, he turned and walked out the door.

When she went out the door, none of the maids were seen. She lifted the hem of her skirt and supported her forehead, and walked out a few steps carefully. After leaving the courtyard, she saw someone coming from a distance. It was clearly visible that Aunt Zhao knew it was Jia Zheng as soon as she squinted her eyes.

"In the middle of the night, what are you doing out here?" Jia Zheng walked up to Aunt Zhao and looked down at her. Aunt Zhao was only in her twenties and had a good appearance, but now her face was a little pale because of the troubles she had had earlier.

"I thought Huan'er would be hungry if she woke up, so I went to cook some porridge." Aunt Zhao replied cautiously, and then peeked at Jia Zheng's face. After all, she made a trick during the day to deceive Jia Zheng. A little guilty, but the most important thing in this mansion is human life. Aunt Zhao didn't feel that her son was cruel, but she didn't think she was quick enough. It's because you pity me and I pity you.

"Since it's cooking porridge, why don't you ask the maids in your room to serve, are they all dead?" Jia Zheng suddenly reached out and touched Aunt Zhao's face, wiped it back and forth with his thumb, and then lifted the hair on Aunt Zhao's forehead Carefully looked at the bandaged wound.

"It's better to come here quickly after calling them. I used to serve in the kitchen. Why did the master come here today and follow your boys?" Aunt Zhao looked behind Jia Zheng, but there was no one there. .

"It's okay, let's go together, I'm a little hungry too." After saying that, he turned around and walked away.

Aunt Zhao used to serve in the small kitchen, but she was called to her side by the old lady because she made good refreshments, but she became an aunt in the second room, so she no longer needed this skill.

Jia Zheng sat on the wooden table outside the small kitchen, watching Aunt Zhao light the fire by herself, burn the firewood, wash the rice and put it in the pot, and put the noodles on the other side, and found a big bowl and poured some Soy sauce and rice vinegar, sprinkled with chopped green onion, took the noodles from the pot, cleared the water, fried some meat pieces and put them on the noodles.

"There is nothing in the kitchen today, so please don't dislike it, master." Aunt Zhao brought the bowl to Jia Zheng, then went back to the pot and watched the fire carefully, slipping the rice porridge in the pot from time to time.

Jia Zheng looked at Aunt Zhao in a daze. He was in a wealthy family since he was a child. If Baoyu was favored, he would not be able to compare with three Baoyus. It's just that his father was stricter than his mother. Usually, if he didn't work hard, he would be beaten. My brother has always been naughty, and he is precocious, so he hugged his father's thick legs early and made it to where he is today.Yuanwailang, whom many people can't ask for, will not be reconciled if he stops at this step. He thinks of those snobs coaxing him to call himself the father of the country, and carrying precious jade, begging for those inconspicuous poems.

When Aunt Zhao finished cooking the porridge, she turned around and found that Jia Zheng had long since disappeared. She scooped up the porridge in a big bowl and went back to the yard, and fed Jia Huan three or four spoonfuls, finally filling her stomach.Jia Huan didn't sleep well that night, because he would wake up from time to time because of stomach pains, and Aunt Zhao didn't sleep well either. She lay on Jia Huan's bedside and fed two spoons when she woke up. I made up my mind to never let their deception all these years be in vain.

Mrs. Wang didn't sleep well either. When she came back, she heard that Jia Huan had been poisoned. It seemed that Aunt Zhao's bump into the pillar was not good. But before she laughed, she heard that Xiaowan and Zhou Rui had died. The loyal Zhou Rui's family beside her was also killed After dragging on, she didn't even know the difference. She thought about it all night and couldn't figure it out. Could it be Xiaowan's move?Confessed Zhou Rui?With the lawsuits all over his head, he didn't sleep well at all.

The old lady called Nanny Chen to come to her, and after asking about today's affairs, she knew that it was the restless daughter-in-law who committed the death again: "You said that I have protected her for ten years, if she hadn't raised Baoyu, how would I need her?" To achieve this level, if she hadn't had a capable brother, she would have stepped on the face of our Jia family. She doesn't like Jia Huan, and it didn't come out of her own stomach. I can understand, but she doesn't wait. Seeing Jia Lan, he is his grandson anyway, hey, what a sin."

Nanny Chen was a dowry maid who came from her natal family with the old lady, and married a servant girl in the mansion, but she didn't know why, but she didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter, and now she is still serving by Mother Jia's side alone. "How much wind and rain the old lady has experienced, how can these junior things be taken care of." Chen Nanny carefully helped Mother Jia pinch her shoulders, and then tapped carefully.

"My second daughter-in-law is unclear. If she hadn't made Zheng'er sad again and again, how could she have tired Baoyu? Oh, my poor Baoyu." Jiamu covered her face with a handkerchief, and everyone else Regardless.

"If you want to talk about the second master, you brought him up alone. Although it looks deserted now, you will turn around after a while. The old lady should not be sad. Your health is the most important thing." Chen Momo said A smiling face, with the corners of the mouth slightly raised when speaking, looks very festive.It was also rumored that the old lady was going to raise her as an aunt to serve the old man, but in the end she said that she had a sweetheart, and the old lady was also kind, so she was not offended by it, and then she accompanied the dowry and married out of the house.

Jia Huan finally fell asleep after tossing and tossing all night, but he didn't have enough rest. He vaguely felt that something was close to his mouth, probably a small spoon, and it smelled of herbs again. He wanted to open his mouth to drink, but suddenly there was a chill behind his back, as if someone was looking at him, his originally chaotic mind suddenly came to his senses, he subconsciously reached out and knocked the thing down, only to hear a woman's scream accompanied by porcelain The crisp sound of the bowl falling to the ground.

Aunt Zhao, who was on the side, heard the movement, and came out with her clothes on. She glanced at the medicine bowl on the ground, and then at the maid who was waiting on the side. "Where did you come from? I haven't seen you before." She looked at the other party coldly, and the servant girl hurriedly knelt down and said, "The servant girl was ordered by the old lady to serve her, her name is Sujuan."

Jia Huan had suffered from smallpox and suffered from illness. He covered his stomach with one hand while looking at the kneeling person: "Mother went to look outside. I vaguely felt that someone was peeking out the window."

Just after Jia Huan finished speaking, Sujuan, who was kneeling underneath, looked up blankly at Jia Huan, then at Aunt Zhao, looking up as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything, she just knelt quietly on the side, Aunt Zhao was busy. He called out to the waiter in the yard in multiple voices, and ordered people to go to the old lady's place to ask someone to come and identify him.Jia Huan lay back on the bed and closed her eyes to rest. She wanted to go out, but Xia Yun was watching outside.

It was only a short time for incense sticks, and the mandarin ducks came with the people, and when they saw the one kneeling on the ground, they smiled and kissed Jia Huanfu: "The old lady heard that the third young master is in poor health, so she sent someone to take care of her. If there is anything wrong, please tell me."

Jia Huan opened his eyes and glanced at Yuanyang, "Since the old lady invited me, I won't say anything, just sit here." After saying a word, Yuanyang squeezed the handkerchief and quietly Sitting on a chair on one side, after a while, an old doctor walked in from outside.

"What's the matter, you should be fine after drinking two doses yesterday." The old doctor left in a hurry yesterday, but today he finally followed a drug boy.

After tidying up, Aunt Zhao came out from the inner room, putting one hand on Xiaoying who was serving, "I was in pain all night yesterday, and my heart is broken. I don't know if the imperial doctor has any prescriptions, so I asked for help."

The old doctor walked up to Jia Huan, and Yuanyang hurriedly brought a stool from the side and put it beside the bed. He sat down next to Jia Huan, stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and after being quiet for a while, he looked at Aunt Zhao and said, "It's nothing serious, just vomiting. Overdoing it hurts the spleen and stomach, this medicine was originally prescribed, so I have to take it." While talking, he still consciously looked at the puddle of medicine juice on the ground.

Dongzang outside carefully ran in with a medicine jar, put the things on the table, and said to Aunt Zhao breathlessly: "I didn't see the person clearly, I just followed the figure and ran three times to find it." Yes, if it wasn't for my quick hands, the medicine pot would have fallen into the lotus pond at this moment, and the man saw me following behind, so he threw it away in a panic, so he didn't lose it far." Before he finished speaking, the autumn harvest came Shout outside: "Auntie, the master is here to see Brother Huan."

Sujuan, who was kneeling, could feel the smell now, her body had already started to tremble, as soon as Jia Zheng entered the door, she jumped up and knelt down in front of Jia Zheng: "It's not the servant's fault, it's Nanny Song in the wife's room." Mama ordered the servants to come and feed the medicine, as for what is in the bowl, the servants really don’t know, I really don’t know, please let the master know.” After saying that, she began to kowtow.

Jia Zheng paused, and turned his head to let Lin Zhixiao pull him away. Before Sujuan could yell out, several boys gagged her and dragged her out of the yard.

Yuanyang's face turned pale with fright, she glanced at Jia Huan with a certain emotion in her eyes, and turned her head to look at Jia Zheng: "I have seen the second master, this man is served by the old lady, and he has been in our house for five or six years. , if there are any bad thoughts hidden, it will never happen." She stumbled while speaking, but she still forced herself to be calm and greeted Ann.

Seeing the old imperial doctor approaching, Jia Zheng cupped his hands and said, "If it's not troublesome, please ask the imperial doctor to see, have you found the pot for decocting the medicine?"

"I found it. I ordered someone to look for it just now, and it's here." Aunt Zhao felt that she was very smart for a while, and hurriedly pointed to the medicine pot on the table.
