The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Yuanyang had just served Jia Shishi to lie down, and when she went out, she saw Wang Xifeng coming in a panic, and trotted up from the corridor to meet her: "Why is Second Grandma here now? It's snowing soon, if It's terrible to be cold, just ask the servant girl to send us away."

Wang Xifeng walked hurriedly, with an anxious expression on his face, and asked in a low voice: "Yuanyang, is the old lady in the house?"

"The old lady just watched the snow scene, blowing some cold wind, just drinking ginger tea and laying down." Yuanyang said with some embarrassment, "The old lady has not slept well these nights, and she finally fell asleep today. , it’s not easy to disturb.”

Wang Xifeng sighed, and did not enter Jia Shishi's sitting and living room, but went to the Nuan Pavilion next to him: "So I will wait, there is no rush for a moment."

Seeing Yuanyang's angry face, Wang Xifeng didn't hide it: "The news from Tanyun Temple said that Baoyu had a fever and fell ill. I was anxious, so I asked Chunliu and a few servants to take the imperial doctor to visit. After a while, I realized that Baoyu's house didn't even have enough charcoal fire!"

"I send hundreds of taels of silver every month. If there is any shortage of food, the hundreds of taels of silver can be counted as management. We shouldn't treat our children so harshly." Wang Xifeng said. He was so angry that he slapped his palm on the Kang table, making a loud bang.

Dong Xue hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, blew it gently a few times, and persuaded: "Grandma's hand hurts carefully, the thing has just been delivered by sister Xia Zhu herself, and it will definitely not be short this time. Second master’s use up.”

Yuanyang also hurriedly asked the little maid to get the ointment: "Grandma is pregnant now, you must not get angry and hurt yourself. Your care for this girl and the young man below is us maids. I feel envious. Speaking of this matter, the monks of Tanyun Temple did something wrong. They are still monks in name, but what they do is really dirty!"

A few little maids beside him also echoed a few words, and for a while, they seemed to have the same hatred and hatred.

Taking advantage of this spare time, Wang Xifeng drank half a cup of health-preserving soup and took a rest.

Jia Shi's people are old and sleepy, but within a quarter of an hour, there was movement in the room over there.

Yuanyang rushed into the room to wait, Wang Xifeng was heavy and came in a little later than everyone else.Jia Shishi had already put on his clothes and was being combed by Hu Po. It was strange to see Wang Xifeng coming.

"It's so cold, why are you here now, but what's the matter?"

Wang Xifeng sighed, said so and so on, and finally said: "I am really angry in my heart, offering delicious food and drink, and ordering the upper and lower silver taels, not to mention asking them to treat Brother Bao more favorably, but not That's the right way to do it."

Jia Shishi was also angry. Although the Reclining Buddha Temple she and Wang Xifeng chose was not as royal as Tanyun Temple, it had always been on good terms with the Jia family, and there were still many memorial tablets of the Jia family's ancestors enshrined in it.

It's just that because of the emperor's suspicion, he had to send Baoyu to Tanyun Temple. How could Tanyun Temple be a good place, and there were no people from their Jia family in it.Jia Shishi was worried, so he spent a lot of sesame oil money, all the way up and down, Wang Xifeng would send people to deliver food every few days, and the colors were all meticulous.

Originally, he thought that he could take this opportunity to dispel the doubts of today and let Baoyu get a reputation of being pure and virtuous.But now it's good, not to mention the reputation, his life is about to be lost. Could it be that the emperor is so suspicious that even Baoyu, a yellow-mouthed child, can't bear it!

Jia Shishi was so angry that his chest heaved, but he still had to comfort Wang Xifeng: "It's just that the servants worship the high and step down, and there is no suitable person in our family now. Not to mention that it is cold outside and it is inconvenient to travel, it is our house. It's not good for the female family members of the family to go to the temple from time to time, but it's just a pain for Baoyu."

Wang Xifeng also couldn't help sighing: "Brother Bao grew up with gold and jade, but now he has suffered so much. I really don't feel so bad. Otherwise, I will go to the palace to beg the empress, and let me go." Come to Brother Bao's house. He has been going to Tanyun Temple for more than a month, and it is almost the twelfth lunar month, so how can he stay here forever?"

Jia Shishi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, since you have already suffered, you don't have to offend the nobles anymore. You don't have to be called pampered, and it will be even more difficult to end when the time comes, but the doctor You can pick the ones and send them."

Wang Xifeng nodded hurriedly and said: "I invited the doctor Wang who is familiar with me every day, and I have enough medicinal materials, so I will definitely not go on a business trip. I also asked someone to send six or seven baskets of silver silk charcoal, so I am ashamed." Shame on those monks who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha!"

"You should change your temperament." Seeing her indignation, Jia Shishi couldn't help beckoning her to come over and sit down next to him, "Tanyun Temple has the name of the royal family after all, let's act accordingly." It is even more important to do it properly, so that no one can catch the mistake and fall into court and read Lian'er's book, and it will be too late to regret it by then."

Wang Xifeng snorted coldly, but finally nodded in response: "I'm just angry in my heart, and I won't be like this in the future."

Not to mention that there was an uproar in Jia's family. After the palace physician Wang came back from Tanyun Temple, Situ Yao came to find him.

"The little brother of the Jia family, I heard that he is sick? Why is he sick? Is it serious?"

Doctor Wang knelt down on the ground, his thoughts turned, but he didn't pause for a moment: "It's because of the cold, so he has a cough and fever. I have already prescribed a prescription for him to drink. Just now, the minister returned. By the time we entered the city, the fire had already been pushed down, so there shouldn’t be any serious problems.”

"Oh? Suffered from the cold? I heard that Mrs. Zhaominghou of the Jia family sent big and small bags of things to her every few days. Among them, charcoal-fired winter clothes were the most. How could she suffer from the cold?"

Physician Wang didn't dare to speak, but in this winter, cold sweat oozes from his forehead and temples, and even his knees kneeling on the ground for a long time seem to feel the chill through the thick carpet.

Seeing his terrified look, Situ Yao snorted coldly, and said sharply, "What's the matter? Now that I'm asking questions, does Doctor Wang dare to avoid answering?"

Doctor Wang knocked his head on the ground a few times, and said with a trembling voice: "I dare not, but I can't be sure. I heard from the servants of Jia's family that it was the monks in the temple who neglected the younger brother of Jia's family, and withheld money. It was the charcoal fire in his room that made people cold."

Situ Yao didn't make a sound for a long time, and then he said calmly: "Apart from charcoal fire, have you done anything else?"

Sweat dripped from the forehead of Imperial Physician Wang, and he whispered: "Chen, I really don't know. I just went to check the pulse and prescribed medicine, and then came back. The Jia family didn't say anything to me. , I just complained a few words about the greed of the monks in Tanyun Temple."

"Forget it, you are tired, go back and rest. Go to Tanyun Temple tomorrow, and go to see that little brother again, don't let him fall into the root cause of the disease."

Physician Wang hurriedly agreed, and waited until he was out the door, avoiding his eyes, then raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Sighing deeply, he went to the Imperial Hospital to pack up his things, and then went home. Tomorrow, he had to go to the city and go up the mountain. A handful of old bones would be enough trouble.

As for the Jia family, when it was late at night, they did not wait for the order from the palace to let Jia Baoyu go home to recuperate.

Jia Shishi was angry, seeing Wang Xifeng who was sitting with her with a sallow face, said with some guilt: "You are heavy, but you are still working hard with me. It is already late at night, and there is no news from there yet. I guess it won’t happen. Pity our family’s loyalty for generations, but now we are spreading rumors about an unreasonable monk, His Majesty, he..."

Jia Shishi sighed heavily, turned the subject around and said, "Go back and rest, you don't have to come to serve tomorrow, the right way is to cultivate your spirit well in your room. There is Imperial Physician Wang looking after Baoyu, and The youngest son of Lin Zhixiao's family will surely have no more accidents."

Wang Xifeng was tired from waiting a long time ago, seeing Jia Shishi speak now, but it is not easy to get up and leave immediately.He spoke a few more words of comfort to him, and seeing Jia Shishi smile again, he felt relieved.

He also told Yuanyang and others: "It's good to serve the old lady to sleep, but if there is anything wrong, just send someone to find me."

Everyone responded one by one, Wang Xifeng then supported the maid's hand, got on the soft sedan chair and went back to the house to rest without mentioning it.

Ten days passed in a flash, and the snow outside changed from the size of salt grains to catkins. It fell more urgently, and the sky became colder.

Jia Lian also delivered a letter home, saying that he would definitely be home before the Laba Festival.

After receiving the letter, everyone in Jia's family rejoiced, and the house was more than a hundred times lively.

Dafang's family was naturally happy because of Jia Lian himself, while Erfang was secretly anxious about Baoyu.Because of Baoyu's illness, he hasn't recovered. Although the fever has subsided, he still coughs from time to time. I heard that he can't sleep well at night.

Jia Shishi was worried all the time, but the palace didn't say anything for a long time, and she didn't dare to take Baoyu's house to recuperate without authorization.It's just that I send people to Tanyun Temple several times a day, either to send doctors to see a doctor, or to send medicinal materials to eat, and I don't miss it every day.

"Old lady, madam, second mistress, the second master has entered the city! Now he is going to the palace, he estimated to return home in the next half an hour, and he sent us back first to report to the old lady that he is safe."

Laiwang and his wife followed behind Lin Zhixiao's family in the dusty world, entered the Rongqing Hall and bowed their heads, knocking their heads a few times.

Jia Shishi laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and hurriedly called people to get up: "Get up, get up. It's really hard for you to go out with your second master for a few months. How is your second master? But Have you lost weight? Have you ever been sick?"

The person who came to Wang's house thanked him, sat on the small round stool that Hu Po brought, and replied with a smile: "We are servants, that is, we go out with the second master to see the world, so there is no hard work. On the other hand, the second master, who eats and sleeps in the open every day, is darker and thinner. The body is still good, maybe because he moves a lot every day and eats more food, he is stronger and has never been sick."

"That's good, that's good, so I can rest assured." Jia Shishi nodded with a smile when he heard this, and then pretended to ask Lin Zhixiao's family casually, "Did you meet at the gate of the city, or where?" meet somewhere?"

Lin Zhixiao's family naturally knew the meaning of her question, and quickly laughed softly: "Returning to the old lady, I waited for half an hour at the gate of the city, and then I saw the carriage that the second master came back. The second master asked me a few words Due to the situation at home, we were sent back because we were in a hurry to enter the palace."

"The second master also said that the cough of the second master Bao is also a serious matter. It is not possible for the child to fall into the root cause of the disease. When he sees the emperor, he will ask the doctor from the imperial hospital to see him in person."

Jia Shishi laughed a little more sincerely when he heard the words. What Jia Lian meant was to ask the emperor's permission to take Baoyu home!
