Love of Friends in the Red Chamber

No one would have thought that mandarin ducks are so violent, and after Hu Po helped her back to the room to lie down, they all withdrew, thinking that after a few days, Jia Mu would speak and nothing would happen.Who knows that Yuanyang has a temperament that would rather be broken than broken. She already thought that Jia She would not let go of this opportunity to humiliate herself. What she didn't want was to make Jia Lian angry. The reputation is tainted.Thinking this way, evil spirits entered his heart, so he became cold-hearted, got up and found a belt from the box, committing short-sightedness unknowingly.

When the mother-in-law invited the imperial doctor to come in to check her pulse, she realized that she was already freezing cold, how could she be rescued?The whole family was panicked for a while, Jia Mu had treated Yuanyang as her own children for many years, and she couldn't live without her in food and daily life. When she heard about this, she was so sad that she fell ill.

For a time Rongguo Mansion was gloomy, the old lady was sick in bed, Jia Amnesty didn't dare to make trouble anymore, and asked the imperial doctor to boil medicine every day, Madam Xing kicked a rabbit in her heart because she provoked the matter, for fear of the old lady She is old, and if there is something wrong with her, Jia Amnesty will take it out on her. In the past two days, she also complained of illness, and dared not go to Jia Mu to serve her.

Since Wang Xifeng was beaten mercilessly by Jia Lian that day, and because she heard that the mandarin duck committed suicide, she was already sick, and now it is getting worse. At the same time, she felt ashamed, regretful and afraid, and within a few days she was really sick. I couldn't get out of bed, and I also suffered from vomiting blood.Jia Lian didn't care about anything else, even if he came back to the courtyard, he would just sleep in Qiutong's room. On the contrary, like an enemy, he couldn't help but ignore it, and when Ping'er mentioned to him about asking an imperial doctor to diagnose his pulse, he would yell at him angrily.

Wang Xifeng heard it in her room, and she just burst into tears. When Ping'er came in wiping her tears, she cried, "What else are you going to ask him for? He is looking forward to my death - I can't wait to die now." Die. I have been striving for strength all my life, but I have fallen behind. The old lady used to protect me, but now even the old lady despises me. Is there any way for me to survive?" Ping'er thought about the time when Wang Xifeng was ill. At the beginning, all the elders and peers in the family came to visit in an endless stream. This time, there was no one in sight, and I couldn't help but feel sad, but I tried to comfort Xifeng: "Second Grandma, you are thinking too much. Unfortunately, the old lady also I was sick, and everyone was busy taking care of the old lady, so I neglected grandma's place... I will send someone to invite Wang Taiyi to check grandma's pulse, and I have to get well first before I can say anything else."

Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and shook her head, and said after a while: "If you can cure your disease, you can't cure your life. My life is already like this. If I didn't worry about Miss Qiao, I would have swallowed gold and hanged myself a long time ago. I will pay my life for another life. It's easy to save." Infernal affairs, and karma." Ping'er heard her ominous words, and was already weeping uncontrollably.

At this time, Wang Xifeng had already despaired of Jia Lian and the others, but her heart became clearer, and she told Ping'er, "The turmoil in the past two days has been overwhelming. The second master Lian didn't care about face, and he will inevitably come here to quarrel frequently in the future. Poor Sister Qiao, she was too scared to see her father yesterday, so she hid at the foot of my bed and cried all night. The nanny didn't care, she still dressed up like a monster, wandering around everywhere..." She panted After taking a breath, he continued, "You quietly go to the old lady's room and ask sister Lin to pick up sister Qiao to live in the Hongguoyuan for a few days. If you leave here, you want to be quiet and far away from right and wrong. This family hates me so much that I want to come here. There are many people who will bite my flesh, I am not afraid, but I am afraid that they will take advantage of my downfall and take sister Qiao out of their anger to take revenge, and even if I die, I will not rest in peace."

In the afternoon, Ping'er sent his mother-in-law, who was able to move around, to visit Jiamu's room first, and heard that there were a lot fewer people. Jiamu took a nap after taking medicine, and Daiyu was alone in Jiamu's courtyard. Taking a nap in her room, she came over quietly and told Daiyu secretly.Although Daiyu also felt that Wang Xifeng was cruel in the matter of mandarin ducks, she also knew that she must have difficulties. Hearing Ping'er's pleading words, she agreed and sent Zijuan to tell Jia Lian that Jia Lian didn't have much. Thinking that he was very busy, he readily agreed.In the evening, when Daiyu returned, she sent someone to pick up Miss Qiao—but she herself refused to come in person, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, not to mention that Wang Xifeng's courtyard has lost the control of the mistress, and it has completely become a matter of dispute. place.

But she said that Mrs. Wang should take care of Wang Xifeng and Qiaojie the most, but this time she didn't care about it. Firstly, she only knew about [-]% or [-]% of what Wang Xifeng did in private, and she was already shocked Second, Wang Xifeng is her niece of her mother's family after all, if she still blindly protects her at this time, she will inevitably provide an excuse for Madam Xing to criticize; The responsibility of the medicine fell on her. Mrs. Wang must do everything by herself. She is old and feels tired all day long. In addition, after the death of Yuanyang, there is no one who can be used by Jia Mu, and Mrs. Wang's burden is especially heavy. It was only then that I deeply felt that mandarin ducks are indispensable.

This day Mrs. Wang came to Jiamu's place early again, and when she entered the courtyard, she glanced sideways at Rongxi Hall, thinking that the place she was used to living in was easily snatched away by a woman like Mrs. Xing, and she couldn't help but feel pain .Suppressing her anger, she walked into Jiamu's room, saw that Jiamu hadn't gotten up yet, and asked Amber, knowing that Jiamu hadn't warmed up again at night, so she was relieved.So together with Baochai and Li Wan, they helped Jiamu change clothes, leaned on the pillow, ate a small bowl of porridge, and took medicine, and sent the imperial physician to come in for a pulse diagnosis.

Doctor Wang came in to say hello. A servant girl had already put down the hanging curtain. Baochai, Li Wan and others retreated to the inner room. Mrs. Wang sat in front of Jiamu's couch so that she could ask the doctor herself.Doctor Wang was already used to walking around and knew the rules, so he sat on the pier brought by his mother-in-law and waited sideways. Putting one hand on his wrist, squinting his eyes slightly, he examined it carefully for a while, then put his hand down, gave a salute, and backed out.Jiamu was too lazy to open her eyes because of her illness for days, so she went to entertain the imperial doctor with Mrs. Wang and Jia Lian.

For a while the imperial physician went out, sat down to drink tea, and prescribed a prescription. Jia Lian picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Gao Ming, it's just that my parents, uncles and aunts still want to ask Imperial Physician Wang whether the old lady's illness is related or not?"

Doctor Wang said with a smile: "Second Master is the smartest person. The old lady is over eighty years old, and she is already in her dying years, but she is usually well maintained, and she can't see anything. In fact, she is like a candle in the wind, which can't stand some troubles. This time, the acute pain was attacking the heart, and I was also infected with wind and cold. The illness came on violently. The late birth was finally suppressed with strong medicine. Now I have changed the medicine that slows down the temperature and nourishes the body. Don’t be frightened, don’t worry about getting angry, and you can expect to recover .”

After hearing this, Jia Lian felt relieved and went in to tell Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang nodded and told her to go out to grab the medicine according to the prescription and fry it quickly.Jia Lian agreed, and while going out to order people to do it, he went to the Rongxi Hall to explain to Jia Amnesty himself, and then went to the West Courtyard to report to Jia Zheng. .

Jia Lian came back again and taught Mrs. Wang all kinds of words, and Mrs. Wang said: "Very well, the old lady has finally let go of half of her heart, but I heard that your daughter-in-law has also been ill these two days. I can’t get out of bed anymore, since Imperial Physician Wang hasn’t left yet, why not let Imperial Physician Wang drop by to show Feng girl—it’s also your husband and wife, although she is at fault, don’t let outsiders look too ruthless.”

Jia Lian gritted her teeth and agreed. Mrs. Wang looked at his expression. Although she was obedient on the surface, she seemed dissatisfied, so she felt uneasy in her heart. She turned her head and said to Baochai, "You also go there together, and see how Feng girl is. The day before yesterday My son came over crying, begging me to see Feng girl's illness, I thought the symptoms might be serious. I've been exhausted for the past two days, and after two days, I'll wait for the old lady to recover before going to see her."

Jia Lian didn't talk too much, but came out with Baochai, saying that he had something to do with his father, and then disappeared. Baochai then ordered his mother-in-law to ask Wang Taiyi to go to Wang Xifeng's yard, and he went there first. up.Not to mention this, but Mrs. Wang waited for the new concoction to be cooked, brought it to Jia Mu's bed in person, fed it to Jia Mu, and saw that Jia Mu had fallen asleep drowsily again. Also come to the ear room to rest.

Li Wan came to wait on her, and Mrs. Wang saw that she was a little out of control, so she knew what she meant, and said with a sigh: "Are you thinking about Lan'er again?" Li Wan frowned and said, "It's nothing. Get up early and say yes." Uncomfortable, not covered well at night, a little cold, now the weather is not good, probably a little fever, I didn't let him go to school today, if he would not follow him normally, but today he agreed, stay in his own room, it can be seen It's really uncomfortable." Mrs. Wang said: "Then you go back and see Lan'er, I'm here, I'll call you if I have something to do." Li Wan couldn't wait, and hurriedly agreed to retreat and hurried back to herself In the room.

Mrs. Wang was the only one left in the ear room, she called a little maid to beat her legs, and then dozed off.After taking a nap for a while, she found that the little girl was still beating lightly and didn't stop, so she said, "Go out and have a rest too, I'll be alone." The girl agreed, and stopped her hands, but she didn't see her. The sound of going out made Mrs. Wang feel a little strange. When she opened her eyes, she realized that it was an attacker.

Xiren knelt in front of Mrs. Wang, with tears in his eyes, and respectfully kowtowed to Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang was surprised and said, "You child, what's the matter? How did you come here?"

Xiren couldn't help crying, she choked up and said: "Madam, I want to ask Madam for a favor, if Madam agrees, it will be my luck." Madam Wang sat up straight, pulled her and said: "Quickly get up, kneel on the ground What are you doing? Could it be that Baoyu made things difficult for you?"

Xiren shook his head and said, "No, ma'am, Second Lord Bao doesn't need me to take care of him now. When Second Grandma Bao is at home, he only clings to Grandma. When Second Grandma Bao is not at home, there are Wu'er, Sheyue, and Qiuwen." These people serve... The second master is tired of me, although he didn't say it clearly, I also know, he always thinks that Qingwen was kicked out because I said bad things about Qingwen in front of his wife..."

Mrs. Wang's face darkened, she didn't expect that there was such a serious knot between herself and her son: "I'm afraid you are overthinking, Qingwen's little hoof is just a maid, you have served him since childhood, how could he Alienating you for the sake of a little girl? Stop thinking about it, it is common for a man to like the new and dislike the old, and when the novelty passes, he will naturally turn around." Although Mrs. Wang said this, she thought in her heart: If it is for Qingwen Let Baoyu alienate Xiren who has served since childhood, that child is really a kind of love.What would he do for Daiyu?Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel terrified for a while, so I asked Xiren: "Then what do you think now?"

The attacker raised his head and asked back: "Since the mandarin duck left, the old lady has no proud people around. Is the lady thinking of whom to serve the old lady?" Mrs. Wang sighed: "I am worried about this. Where can I find someone who is as suitable as a mandarin duck?" But Xiren said: "There is such a person right now, who was brought up by the old lady since he was a child. My wife is at your side." Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" The attacker replied, "Me!"

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and when she thought about it carefully, what Xiren said was true. She grew up in Jia Mu's house since she was a child. Being able to go back to Jia Mu's side to serve him really saved me a lot of worry.but……

"It's not right to do this. You are already Baoyu's man. You are his serious aunt, how can you come to be a servant girl again?"

Xiren cried bitterly: "Ma'am, I don't want to be such an aunt for a day. If my wife loves me, please promise me. I am willing to serve the old lady all my life. If one day the old lady is gone, I will not go back." The second master Bao is over there, and he only becomes a nun, or goes to practice with the fourth girl, and the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha has just lived in this life."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help but shed tears when she heard what she said was pitiful, and half of her heart agreed.
