But they said that all the maids cried when they saw Second Master Bao passed out again.Xiren hurriedly sent people to tell his wife and Sister Feng.
After a while, Mrs. Wang followed Sister Feng and the girls Yuchuaner and Pinger hurried over.
Just because Jia's mother is not in good health and has already fallen asleep, Mrs. Wang ordered not to let the old lady know, otherwise the condition will worsen and it will be even more worrying!
Over there, Sister Feng hurriedly ordered someone to invite the doctor over.
When she came to Yihong Courtyard, Mrs. Wang hurried over to the couch, and saw that Baoyu was pale, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she had not yet woken up.Stretching out his hand towards his nose, he felt that the breath was like a silk thread, and the breath was uneven. Mrs. Wang was startled, and tears couldn't stop dripping down.
Sister Feng hurried over to persuade her: "Ma'am, brother Bao just slept a bit more deeply, and he will wake up after a while."
Mrs. Wang took her handkerchief and tried to cry, "You son of a bitch! Being a mother is not all for your own good, and you don't even think about it, how can a mother harm her own child!"
Baoyu lay there quietly without saying a word. Sister Feng pulled the attacker and asked, "What's the matter?"
The attacker cried, "I don't know what happened, my maidservant? I heard from Sheyue that the second master was going to pay his respects to the old lady after dinner, but for some reason he said he was going to his wife's place. She stayed in a daze without saying a word, and her body seemed to be stiff as if she couldn't control her body. She Yue used all her strength to bring the second master back. As soon as the second master entered, he fell to the ground. When the slaves put the second master on the bed, although the second master is not clear-headed, he still recognizes the slaves and calls the slaves to say, 'It's over, it's over!'"
Before Xiren could finish speaking, Mrs. Wang on the side shouted in a low voice: "Okay, stop talking!" Xiren was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking.
Seeing that Baoyu was still asleep, Sister Feng came over to Mrs. Wang and said, "Brother Bao can't sleep like this!" Then she said to Ping'er, "Why hasn't the doctor been invited yet?"
Ping'er hurried forward and said: "Grandma, don't worry, now the imperial doctor Wang of the imperial hospital has retired and returned home, and we are not very familiar with other imperial doctors, and there are some who are not as caring as usual, I am afraid they will come later." Already!"
Sister Feng snorted softly through her nose: "Now that we don't have a concubine in the palace, we don't even care about hiring an imperial physician. After all, this Rongguo is also a Duke personally appointed by the Holy Majesty. ]!"
As she said this, she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would be sad when she heard it, so she came to the bed and said, "Madam, why don't you call Baoyu's nurse over to have a look, she is old and sees her a lot, how about it?"
Mrs. Wang nodded, Xiren wanted someone to call Nanny Wang, but Jia Lian came running outside and said, "Here we come, the imperial doctor is here."
While speaking, an old man about 50 years old followed behind.
Jia Lian said to Mrs. Wang: "This is Dr. Zhang from the imperial hospital. He has been taking pulses from several kings. When my nephew went there, only imperial physicians Zhang and Li were on duty in the imperial hospital, because Li was waiting. In the palace, the king has something to call, and Imperial Physician Zhang is also going to Dongping King, but Wang's people heard that we have an emergency here, so they asked Imperial Physician Zhang to come over first."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly said to Doctor Zhang: "Thank you so much for coming this way!"
Doctor Zhang said with a smile: "You're welcome, is this the patient?"
Mrs. Wang said: "That's right. Please let the imperial doctor take a look!"
Doctor Zhang came over, Xiren moved a chair for him to sit down, and helped Baoyu's hand out of the quilt.
Doctor Zhang called for his pulse, glanced at Gu Baoyu's face, rolled his eyelids again, shook his head and sighed: "This is because of being too sad, but my body is fine." After speaking, he suddenly stretched out his right thumb Put it in the middle of Baoyu's body, press it hard, and Baoyu came back to life with an "ah".
Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Jia Lian were all overjoyed, and Xi Ren and others were also relieved.
Doctor Zhang took out some plasters from the box, opened one and gently stuck it on both sides of the sun with Baoyu, and rubbed it with both hands a few times, Baoyu suddenly felt refreshed and his mind was clear.
Doctor Zhang stood up and said to Mrs. Wang: "Although Mr. Ling is getting better now, his heart disease has been stagnant for a long time. I am afraid that it will hurt the liver qi after a long time. Then it will not be easy to heal. You have to let Mr. Wang stay for a few days." It’s good to adjust your mood.”
Mrs. Wang hurriedly responded, and Zhang Taiji asked Jia Lian to go ahead to get the prescription. After Zhang Taiyi left the yard, Mrs. Wang turned around and told everyone in the room: "Please take care of me, don't make any mistakes! "Xing Ren waited for the girl to be busy and knelt down to answer.
Mrs. Wang said to Sister Feng again: "Tomorrow, if the old lady asks, she will say that Baoyu was tired from going to Wang's dinner party yesterday, and it was cold in the evening. I will go to pay my respects to the old lady in two days."
Baoyu's trouble had already alarmed the sisters in the garden. Qiuwen came in and reported that Li Wan, Tanchun, Xichun and Daiyu had all come to visit.
Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Let them all come in."
After a while, Li Wan came into the room followed by the first few sisters.Daiyu was at the back, supporting Zicuckoo with one hand.
When Baoyu saw Daiyu, she couldn't help but feel sore, and she couldn't say it in front of Mrs. Wang. She only called "Sister Lin" and shed tears again.
Daiyu didn't know why Baoyu suddenly burst into tears, so she came over and asked cautiously, "Second elder brother is very ill? Where does it hurt?" Baoyu just shook his head and said nothing.
Daiyu was puzzled, and it was not easy to ask in front of everyone, so she said, "You can take a rest." Then she stepped aside.
Tanchun also went up to greet her, and Li Wan told Xiren that if he came back to her in the evening, there should be several people to help, Xiren hurriedly nodded in response.
Mrs. Wang said again: "Okay, it's getting late, and Baoyu will eat later! You all go back first, remember not to mention it in front of the old lady, so that she won't worry about it."
After saying that, he ignored the others, stood up and took Yu Chuan'er out of the house, and Sister Feng hurriedly took Ping'er out to follow.On the second day, Mother Jia really asked about Baoyu, and everyone unanimously concealed Baoyu's illness from the past.
Aunt Xue also knew about it, so she hurriedly brought Baochai over, first to Mrs. Wang.Hearing Mrs. Wang's talk about Baoyu's condition, she hurriedly asked Tong Xi to go back and tell Xue Pan, and asked him to go to his shop to get some good refreshing pills.
Mrs. Wang thanked and said: "Chai'er, let's go see your brother Bao. I heard from Xiren that I haven't seen you since I came back. You don't come to the garden often recently. Now you go and help my aunt to persuade Baoyu , He also respects you on weekdays, and he can listen to what you have to say."
When Baochai heard this, she couldn't help crying inwardly. When did Baoyu hear her words? Last year, because he persuaded him to study more, he dared to earn a good future tomorrow. Fortunately, Xiren was the only girl in the room at that time, and she was usually the most stable girl, so she hurried over to comfort herself.If someone else sees it, what kind of tongue-in-cheek will come out?
Seeing Baochai sitting there blushing, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "It's okay if you don't want to go."
Baochai hurriedly stood up and said, "Chai'er was thinking that it would be cheaper to take that later!"
Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "It's still Chai'er who is thoughtful," and said to Baochai, "The 'Xiaoyao Pill' you brought last time really works, but my aunt's illness will be much better in two days. I Thinking, if Baoyu eats the one you gave him, he will definitely get better. Oh...Let me think about it, one year Baoyu was beaten by his father, and it was the one you brought to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. , I heard Xiren said that after using it a few times, the pain has reduced a lot!"
After listening to Mrs. Wang's nagging so much, Baochai lowered her head as much as possible, and remained silent for a long time.
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Sister, stop praising."
Mrs. Wang also hurriedly stopped talking and said with a smile: "Don't say it, don't say it."
Aunt Xue asked again: "Why was my brother fine yesterday, but fell ill at night? Could it be that the girls didn't take care of me well, which frightened my brother?"
Mrs. Wang glanced at Baochai, but stopped talking.Baochai's heart was as clear as a mirror, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "This Tongxi has been gone for half a day and hasn't come back. Why don't I go to meet her and have a look." After a ceremony, he took Yinger away.
Looking at her back, Mrs. Wang ordered Caiyun and Yuchuaner to go out again.Then he whispered: "You don't know that after dinner yesterday, Baoyu came to me and said that he would marry that foxy son as his wife!"
"What?" Aunt Xue also jumped when she heard it.
Mrs. Wang said again: "I expected that one day Baoyu would mention it to me, but I didn't want it so soon! I rejected it at that time, but I didn't want to hurt his heart too much, and save him from blaming me in his heart. This mother, I will say that when she was alive, she had already ordered her to marry Baochai as his wife in the future, and if Baoyu must marry her, then make him an aunt."
Aunt Xue concealed the joy in her heart and asked, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "What can I do, my eyes are straightened all of a sudden, and I stay there silently. But I know, even if I don't tell him now, he will know sooner or later. It's just a pain! , I went to see him last night, and invited the imperial physician to come and see him, and he said that he is fine! It is just a temporary sadness, and he will recover in a short time."
Aunt Xue said: "Why did my brother suddenly think of talking about this? Could it be that someone is behind the scenes?"
Mrs. Wang pondered for a while and said, "It doesn't look like someone ordered it, but I also wonder why Baoyu, who is usually the most timid, suddenly has such courage?"
"My sister thinks it might be that..." Aunt Xue asked cautiously.
Mrs. Wang said: "If you think about it, she won't do such shameless things, hey! Forget it, don't think about it. I didn't sleep well last night. I thought it's better to marry Baoyu and Chaier first." My marriage is settled, and it will save me from long nights and dreams."
Aunt Xue thought for a while and said: "I remember my sister told me that the old lady asked her to discuss their marriage? She was rejected by her at that time. But think about it again, if my brother didn't go to my sister this time , but to find the old lady, then this matter will be too difficult to handle!"
Mrs. Wang also said anxiously: "But! It's hard to guarantee that Baoyu will not talk about it in the future, so what should I do? Or I say to settle the matter between him and Bao girl first!"
"No, sister, let me think about it again." Aunt Xue said.
The two sisters had no idea for a moment.It so happened that Yu Chuan'er outside replied, "Miss Bao is back."
Lifting the curtain, Baochai came in with a faint smile on her face.He also held a delicate carved lacquer box in his hand.
Mrs. Wang then laughed and said, "What kind of trouble, put it in such a delicate box?"
Baochai replied with a smile: "My aunt doesn't know, but there are Shengdi, Scrophulariae, Asparagus, Ophiopogon japonicus, Danshen, Angelica, Amber, Keel, Ginseng, Poria, Jujube, Licorice, Baiziren, Schisandra, Suanzaoren, Polygala, acacia bark, and platycodon root, made of a total of [-] flavors, are the most soothing and refreshing."
"Come on! I've said so much, thanks to you remembering it, it's as good as Mr. Wang's doctor." Mrs. Wang praised.
Aunt Xue smiled and said to Baochai, "Then you go, and give Baoyu clothes earlier, so that you can recover sooner. Let your aunt miss you." .
Mrs. Wang called someone in to serve tea to Aunt Xue, Caiyun was the only one.Then he asked where Yu Chuan'er had gone?Caiyun replied: "Yu Chuan'er remembered what his wife told her to get up early, and went to get things."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "She will be back in a while, let her come in and answer." Caiyun hurriedly responded.
It took only a stick of incense, but Yu Chuan'er said outside: "Madam, the servant is back." Mrs. Wang let her in.He asked again, "How is the old lady?"
Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "I just went to the old lady's place and sent over a narcissus jade carving that the old lady asked the lady to look for. The mandarin duck came out to pick it up, saying that the old lady was resting."
Mrs. Wang snorted and said: "This jade carving was brought by the eldest girl from Suzhou that year. It was supposed to be kept in our house, and it will be used as her dowry when she gets married. The old lady is here today. I don’t know why you should take this thing out all of a sudden?” After saying this, he suddenly saw Yu Chuan’er standing aside, not saying anything, with questions and surprises written all over his face, so he waved his hand impatiently for her Going down, Yu Chuan'er hastily saluted and went out.
Aunt Xue whispered: "The Narcissus jade carving is a rare item. It is said that only the most famous jade carving artist of the year, Lu Zigang's personal disciple nicknamed 'Supernatural Workmanship', can carve it. I don't know how many of her Lin family still have. Where are the valuable things?"
Mrs. Wang said: "The old lady asked Lian'er to put this jade carving in the official first. I don't know how many others are there. Even if it is this thing, if the old lady didn't let it out, I still have it now You don't know, Lian'er and his wife don't pay attention to my aunt now, they just blindly please the old lady. That year, Lian'er brought the eldest girl back from Suzhou to deliver the coffin, and brought her The things from several carts disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don’t know where they were hidden. After asking several times, they said that they were all worthless items, and they were all placed in the big girl’s room. I found a Kong'er has been there a few times, but it's just an ordinary home decoration, and there's really not a single valuable thing, sister, tell me, can I believe it?"
Aunt Xue half-believingly said: "If you think about it, no matter how rich the Lin family is, it won't be as strong as you and me. Could it be that my sister is thinking too much?"
Mrs. Wang said: "I wish I had thought too much. Think about it, the last time she went to the palace, the jasper and gold walking stick on her head was not very precious. Neither you nor I are blessed." Woolen cloth!"
Aunt Xue nodded and said: "Thinking about it, that hairpin is indeed very expensive, I'm afraid it is very valuable."
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Thinking about it, her mother brought these things to the Lin family when she got married! The old lady wanted to give her everything she had back then, and she didn't even think about it. In the end, it was the water thrown out by the married girl. , Didn’t you give it to someone else when it arrived?”
"That's right, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. We didn't expect that the Lin family is extinct, and there is only this girl left. What can I do? Holding all these valuables in vain will eventually be given to others." Xue said my aunt.
"That's right [Chapter 71 Xue Fu Contributes to the Red Chamber]! What my sister said is that no matter how favored she was, she didn't have a son to continue the incense of the Lin family. She is considered unlucky, hehe!" Mrs. Wang curled his lips.
"Ah!" Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something again.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Xue asked.
"Speaking of my sister-in-law, I just remembered that yesterday was her death day! I forgot, but the old lady didn't remember it either." Mrs. Wang said.
"Then what's the matter? Is it possible for my sister-in-law to spend her anniversary at her mother's house? Don't forget, even though she is dead now, she will enter the Lin family's ancestral grave, the Lin family!" Aunt Xue said disdainfully.
"Oh! I don't know my sister, because the old lady loves her grandson, how can she rest assured that she will go back to worship, so she is allowed to set up an incense table in her room every year to express her grief. The old lady will also go to the garden at this time every year Look, thinking about it, the old lady's body is really failing, and her mind is becoming more and more confused, otherwise she will forget about it!" Mrs. Wang said.
"Since the old lady didn't think about it, my sister just prevaricates it, so I don't have to worry about it for her anymore!" Aunt Xue said.
"Exactly. A few years ago, when she was young, she was only talkative, and looked at her in peace. Now that she grows up, she should be more stable. Who would want to blindly restrict my Bao Yuer, and it will hurt our mother and daughter." Because of her, I'm not as close as before, this kind of Hu Meizi really wants her to get out of my sight sooner!" Mrs. Wang said angrily again.
"Then sister wanted to marry her off earlier?" Aunt Xue said with a smile.
"I would like to, but where can I find a suitable family? Besides, the old lady has been thinking about marrying her grandson to my Bao Yu'er!" Madam Wang sighed.
"That's right! Didn't my sister say that the old lady is waiting for my brother-in-law's reply?" Aunt Xue said.
Mrs. Wang spat: "Bah! Just wait and go, I didn't write this letter to the master at all, sister, think about it! The master and his little sister used to have a very good relationship, and they will definitely love each other. Praise his nephew for being smart and talented in poetry, etc. If I ask him, I will say that the old lady asked him to ask, can the master disagree? Will it be hard for me then? I will not be that stupid What's up!"
Aunt Xue quickly put on a smile and said, "It's still my sister who is smart, my sister never thought of it."
Mrs. Wang said again: "But since you said that it is a good way to marry her earlier, if she is married first, it will save a little trouble when Baoyu and Chai'er get married, right?"
Aunt Xue said: "My sister always wants to marry her off earlier, but don't forget where she still has those dowry money hidden? All these years, her food and drink here are equivalent to that of Zhongzheng'er." The girl in Bajinger is the same, how much effort did my sister go to? If she finds someone to marry her off now, she will be fine, and she will just bring so much dowry to pat her butt, wouldn't it be cheaper for her?"
Mrs. Wang said: "In my sister's opinion?"
Aunt Xue smiled coldly: "Sister, how long can the old lady's body last?"
Mrs. Wang said: "It's been two months since I opened the spring. How many doctors have been invited to see it? Although I didn't say it directly, it can be heard from the words that it is procrastinating."
Aunt Xue clapped her hands vigorously and said, "Yes! This means that the old lady can't survive much longer. If the old lady dies, what elder sister can't do it?"
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, but then said sadly: "You don't know there are those two from the eldest room! Usually, I keep my eyes wide open, and I just wait for the day when the old lady will be able to share things."
Aunt Xue said: "Sister, why are you so confused? What you think about in the big room is about the old lady's things, but they don't have anything to do with that girl Lin's things."
Mrs. Wang said: "Sister, think about it, the elder is also an uncle!"
Aunt Xue asked: "Although they are also uncles and aunts, but Lin Yatou grew up with the second room, and she has never used their big room for stitches?"
Mrs. Wang said with a slight smile on her face: "That's right, since the eldest girl came in, how have they ever treated her sincerely? Just look at the old lady's face and talk about it."
Aunt Xue asked again: "Do they know about Miss Lin's background?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Even I don't know much about this matter. Besides, the old lady is usually the most impatient with the couple, so she probably won't let them know."
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Then I must congratulate my sister first, and made a lot of money."
Mrs. Wang couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, as if all the gold and silver treasures were in her hands, and said repeatedly: "As soon as the things are in hand, I will send her away, so that Bao Yuer and Bao girl will be sent away." Once the marriage is done, it also settles a problem that our sisters have had for many years."
Aunt Xue had been enjoying herself with Mrs. Wang, but suddenly she screamed and said, "It's broken, sister, you forgot? If the old lady passes away, she must keep her filial piety for at least one year!"
Mrs. Wang also followed in surprise and said: "That's right! As the saying goes, nights are long and dreams are many, I think it's better to find a suitable time to settle the marriage between the two of them, and you can rest assured, but if it really happens that the old lady dies, Then I have to wrong them, hey! This year's filial piety is not short! Don't look back and make troubles in this year, it would not be worthwhile."
Aunt Xue also frowned slightly.
The two who were talking about it just now suddenly lost their minds.
After a while, Mrs. Wang followed Sister Feng and the girls Yuchuaner and Pinger hurried over.
Just because Jia's mother is not in good health and has already fallen asleep, Mrs. Wang ordered not to let the old lady know, otherwise the condition will worsen and it will be even more worrying!
Over there, Sister Feng hurriedly ordered someone to invite the doctor over.
When she came to Yihong Courtyard, Mrs. Wang hurried over to the couch, and saw that Baoyu was pale, with tears in the corners of her eyes, and she had not yet woken up.Stretching out his hand towards his nose, he felt that the breath was like a silk thread, and the breath was uneven. Mrs. Wang was startled, and tears couldn't stop dripping down.
Sister Feng hurried over to persuade her: "Ma'am, brother Bao just slept a bit more deeply, and he will wake up after a while."
Mrs. Wang took her handkerchief and tried to cry, "You son of a bitch! Being a mother is not all for your own good, and you don't even think about it, how can a mother harm her own child!"
Baoyu lay there quietly without saying a word. Sister Feng pulled the attacker and asked, "What's the matter?"
The attacker cried, "I don't know what happened, my maidservant? I heard from Sheyue that the second master was going to pay his respects to the old lady after dinner, but for some reason he said he was going to his wife's place. She stayed in a daze without saying a word, and her body seemed to be stiff as if she couldn't control her body. She Yue used all her strength to bring the second master back. As soon as the second master entered, he fell to the ground. When the slaves put the second master on the bed, although the second master is not clear-headed, he still recognizes the slaves and calls the slaves to say, 'It's over, it's over!'"
Before Xiren could finish speaking, Mrs. Wang on the side shouted in a low voice: "Okay, stop talking!" Xiren was so frightened that he quickly stopped talking.
Seeing that Baoyu was still asleep, Sister Feng came over to Mrs. Wang and said, "Brother Bao can't sleep like this!" Then she said to Ping'er, "Why hasn't the doctor been invited yet?"
Ping'er hurried forward and said: "Grandma, don't worry, now the imperial doctor Wang of the imperial hospital has retired and returned home, and we are not very familiar with other imperial doctors, and there are some who are not as caring as usual, I am afraid they will come later." Already!"
Sister Feng snorted softly through her nose: "Now that we don't have a concubine in the palace, we don't even care about hiring an imperial physician. After all, this Rongguo is also a Duke personally appointed by the Holy Majesty. ]!"
As she said this, she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would be sad when she heard it, so she came to the bed and said, "Madam, why don't you call Baoyu's nurse over to have a look, she is old and sees her a lot, how about it?"
Mrs. Wang nodded, Xiren wanted someone to call Nanny Wang, but Jia Lian came running outside and said, "Here we come, the imperial doctor is here."
While speaking, an old man about 50 years old followed behind.
Jia Lian said to Mrs. Wang: "This is Dr. Zhang from the imperial hospital. He has been taking pulses from several kings. When my nephew went there, only imperial physicians Zhang and Li were on duty in the imperial hospital, because Li was waiting. In the palace, the king has something to call, and Imperial Physician Zhang is also going to Dongping King, but Wang's people heard that we have an emergency here, so they asked Imperial Physician Zhang to come over first."
Mrs. Wang hurriedly said to Doctor Zhang: "Thank you so much for coming this way!"
Doctor Zhang said with a smile: "You're welcome, is this the patient?"
Mrs. Wang said: "That's right. Please let the imperial doctor take a look!"
Doctor Zhang came over, Xiren moved a chair for him to sit down, and helped Baoyu's hand out of the quilt.
Doctor Zhang called for his pulse, glanced at Gu Baoyu's face, rolled his eyelids again, shook his head and sighed: "This is because of being too sad, but my body is fine." After speaking, he suddenly stretched out his right thumb Put it in the middle of Baoyu's body, press it hard, and Baoyu came back to life with an "ah".
Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and Jia Lian were all overjoyed, and Xi Ren and others were also relieved.
Doctor Zhang took out some plasters from the box, opened one and gently stuck it on both sides of the sun with Baoyu, and rubbed it with both hands a few times, Baoyu suddenly felt refreshed and his mind was clear.
Doctor Zhang stood up and said to Mrs. Wang: "Although Mr. Ling is getting better now, his heart disease has been stagnant for a long time. I am afraid that it will hurt the liver qi after a long time. Then it will not be easy to heal. You have to let Mr. Wang stay for a few days." It’s good to adjust your mood.”
Mrs. Wang hurriedly responded, and Zhang Taiji asked Jia Lian to go ahead to get the prescription. After Zhang Taiyi left the yard, Mrs. Wang turned around and told everyone in the room: "Please take care of me, don't make any mistakes! "Xing Ren waited for the girl to be busy and knelt down to answer.
Mrs. Wang said to Sister Feng again: "Tomorrow, if the old lady asks, she will say that Baoyu was tired from going to Wang's dinner party yesterday, and it was cold in the evening. I will go to pay my respects to the old lady in two days."
Baoyu's trouble had already alarmed the sisters in the garden. Qiuwen came in and reported that Li Wan, Tanchun, Xichun and Daiyu had all come to visit.
Mrs. Wang sighed and said, "Let them all come in."
After a while, Li Wan came into the room followed by the first few sisters.Daiyu was at the back, supporting Zicuckoo with one hand.
When Baoyu saw Daiyu, she couldn't help but feel sore, and she couldn't say it in front of Mrs. Wang. She only called "Sister Lin" and shed tears again.
Daiyu didn't know why Baoyu suddenly burst into tears, so she came over and asked cautiously, "Second elder brother is very ill? Where does it hurt?" Baoyu just shook his head and said nothing.
Daiyu was puzzled, and it was not easy to ask in front of everyone, so she said, "You can take a rest." Then she stepped aside.
Tanchun also went up to greet her, and Li Wan told Xiren that if he came back to her in the evening, there should be several people to help, Xiren hurriedly nodded in response.
Mrs. Wang said again: "Okay, it's getting late, and Baoyu will eat later! You all go back first, remember not to mention it in front of the old lady, so that she won't worry about it."

This mother, I will say that when she was alive, she had already ordered her to marry Baochai as his wife in the future, and if Baoyu must marry her, then make him an aunt."
Aunt Xue concealed the joy in her heart and asked, "What did you say?"
Mrs. Wang sighed: "What can I do, my eyes are straightened all of a sudden, and I stay there silently. But I know, even if I don't tell him now, he will know sooner or later. It's just a pain! , I went to see him last night, and invited the imperial physician to come and see him, and he said that he is fine! It is just a temporary sadness, and he will recover in a short time."
Aunt Xue said: "Why did my brother suddenly think of talking about this? Could it be that someone is behind the scenes?"
Mrs. Wang pondered for a while and said, "It doesn't look like someone ordered it, but I also wonder why Baoyu, who is usually the most timid, suddenly has such courage?"
"My sister thinks it might be that..." Aunt Xue asked cautiously.
Mrs. Wang said: "If you think about it, she won't do such shameless things, hey! Forget it, don't think about it. I didn't sleep well last night. I thought it's better to marry Baoyu and Chaier first." My marriage is settled, and it will save me from long nights and dreams."
Aunt Xue thought for a while and said: "I remember my sister told me that the old lady asked her to discuss their marriage? She was rejected by her at that time. But think about it again, if my brother didn't go to my sister this time , but to find the old lady, then this matter will be too difficult to handle!"
Mrs. Wang also said anxiously: "But! It's hard to guarantee that Baoyu will not talk about it in the future, so what should I do? Or I say to settle the matter between him and Bao girl first!"
"No, sister, let me think about it again." Aunt Xue said.
The two sisters had no idea for a moment.It so happened that Yu Chuan'er outside replied, "Miss Bao is back."
Lifting the curtain, Baochai came in with a faint smile on her face.He also held a delicate carved lacquer box in his hand.
Mrs. Wang then laughed and said, "What kind of trouble, put it in such a delicate box?"
Baochai replied with a smile: "My aunt doesn't know, but there are Shengdi, Scrophulariae, Asparagus, Ophiopogon japonicus, Danshen, Angelica, Amber, Keel, Ginseng, Poria, Jujube, Licorice, Baiziren, Schisandra, Suanzaoren, Polygala, acacia bark, and platycodon root, made of a total of [-] flavors, are the most soothing and refreshing."
"Come on! I've said so much, thanks to you remembering it, it's as good as Mr. Wang's doctor." Mrs. Wang praised.
Aunt Xue smiled and said to Baochai, "Then you go, and give Baoyu clothes earlier, so that you can recover sooner. Let your aunt miss you." .
Mrs. Wang called someone in to serve tea to Aunt Xue, Caiyun was the only one.Then he asked where Yu Chuan'er had gone?Caiyun replied: "Yu Chuan'er remembered what his wife told her to get up early, and went to get things."
Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "She will be back in a while, let her come in and answer." Caiyun hurriedly responded.
It took only a stick of incense, but Yu Chuan'er said outside: "Madam, the servant is back." Mrs. Wang let her in.He asked again, "How is the old lady?"
Yu Chuan'er hurriedly said: "I just went to the old lady's place and sent over a narcissus jade carving that the old lady asked the lady to look for. The mandarin duck came out to pick it up, saying that the old lady was resting."
Mrs. Wang snorted and said: "This jade carving was brought by the eldest girl from Suzhou that year. It was supposed to be kept in our house, and it will be used as her dowry when she gets married. The old lady is here today. I don’t know why you should take this thing out all of a sudden?” After saying this, he suddenly saw Yu Chuan’er standing aside, not saying anything, with questions and surprises written all over his face, so he waved his hand impatiently for her Going down, Yu Chuan'er hastily saluted and went out.
Aunt Xue whispered: "The Narcissus jade carving is a rare item. It is said that only the most famous jade carving artist of the year, Lu Zigang's personal disciple nicknamed 'Supernatural Workmanship', can carve it. I don't know how many of her Lin family still have. Where are the valuable things?"
Mrs. Wang said: "The old lady asked Lian'er to put this jade carving in the official first. I don't know how many others are there. Even if it is this thing, if the old lady didn't let it out, I still have it now You don't know, Lian'er and his wife don't pay attention to my aunt now, they just blindly please the old lady. That year, Lian'er brought the eldest girl back from Suzhou to deliver the coffin, and brought her The things from several carts disappeared in the blink of an eye. I don’t know where they were hidden. After asking several times, they said that they were all worthless items, and they were all placed in the big girl’s room. I found a Kong'er has been there a few times, but it's just an ordinary home decoration, and there's really not a single valuable thing, sister, tell me, can I believe it?"
Aunt Xue half-believingly said: "If you think about it, no matter how rich the Lin family is, it won't be as strong as you and me. Could it be that my sister is thinking too much?"
Mrs. Wang said: "I wish I had thought too much. Think about it, the last time she went to the palace, the jasper and gold walking stick on her head was not very precious. Neither you nor I are blessed." Woolen cloth!"
Aunt Xue nodded and said: "Thinking about it, that hairpin is indeed very expensive, I'm afraid it is very valuable."
Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth and said, "Thinking about it, her mother brought these things to the Lin family when she got married! The old lady wanted to give her everything she had back then, and she didn't even think about it. In the end, it was the water thrown out by the married girl. , Didn’t you give it to someone else when it arrived?”
"That's right, man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation. We didn't expect that the Lin family is extinct, and there is only this girl left. What can I do? Holding all these valuables in vain will eventually be given to others." Xue said my aunt.
"That's right [Chapter 71 Xue Fu Contributes to the Red Chamber]! What my sister said is that no matter how favored she was, she didn't have a son to continue the incense of the Lin family. She is considered unlucky, hehe!" Mrs. Wang curled his lips.
"Ah!" Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered something again.
"What's wrong?" Aunt Xue asked.
"Speaking of my sister-in-law, I just remembered that yesterday was her death day! I forgot, but the old lady didn't remember it either." Mrs. Wang said.
"Then what's the matter? Is it possible for my sister-in-law to spend her anniversary at her mother's house? Don't forget, even though she is dead now, she will enter the Lin family's ancestral grave, the Lin family!" Aunt Xue said disdainfully.
"Oh! I don't know my sister, because the old lady loves her grandson, how can she rest assured that she will go back to worship, so she is allowed to set up an incense table in her room every year to express her grief. The old lady will also go to the garden at this time every year Look, thinking about it, the old lady's body is really failing, and her mind is becoming more and more confused, otherwise she will forget about it!" Mrs. Wang said.
"Since the old lady didn't think about it, my sister just prevaricates it, so I don't have to worry about it for her anymore!" Aunt Xue said.
"Exactly. A few years ago, when she was young, she was only talkative, and looked at her in peace. Now that she grows up, she should be more stable. Who would want to blindly restrict my Bao Yuer, and it will hurt our mother and daughter." Because of her, I'm not as close as before, this kind of Hu Meizi really wants her to get out of my sight sooner!" Mrs. Wang said angrily again.
"Then sister wanted to marry her off earlier?" Aunt Xue said with a smile.
"I would like to, but where can I find a suitable family? Besides, the old lady has been thinking about marrying her grandson to my Bao Yu'er!" Madam Wang sighed.
"That's right! Didn't my sister say that the old lady is waiting for my brother-in-law's reply?" Aunt Xue said.
Mrs. Wang spat: "Bah! Just wait and go, I didn't write this letter to the master at all, sister, think about it! The master and his little sister used to have a very good relationship, and they will definitely love each other. Praise his nephew for being smart and talented in poetry, etc. If I ask him, I will say that the old lady asked him to ask, can the master disagree? Will it be hard for me then? I will not be that stupid What's up!"
Aunt Xue quickly put on a smile and said, "It's still my sister who is smart, my sister never thought of it."
Mrs. Wang said again: "But since you said that it is a good way to marry her earlier, if she is married first, it will save a little trouble when Baoyu and Chai'er get married, right?"
Aunt Xue said: "My sister always wants to marry her off earlier, but don't forget where she still has those dowry money hidden? All these years, her food and drink here are equivalent to that of Zhongzheng'er." The girl in Bajinger is the same, how much effort did my sister go to? If she finds someone to marry her off now, she will be fine, and she will just bring so much dowry to pat her butt, wouldn't it be cheaper for her?"
Mrs. Wang said: "In my sister's opinion?"
Aunt Xue smiled coldly: "Sister, how long can the old lady's body last?"
Mrs. Wang said: "It's been two months since I opened the spring. How many doctors have been invited to see it? Although I didn't say it directly, it can be heard from the words that it is procrastinating."
Aunt Xue clapped her hands vigorously and said, "Yes! This means that the old lady can't survive much longer. If the old lady dies, what elder sister can't do it?"
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, but then said sadly: "You don't know there are those two from the eldest room! Usually, I keep my eyes wide open, and I just wait for the day when the old lady will be able to share things."
Aunt Xue said: "Sister, why are you so confused? What you think about in the big room is about the old lady's things, but they don't have anything to do with that girl Lin's things."
Mrs. Wang said: "Sister, think about it, the elder is also an uncle!"
Aunt Xue asked: "Although they are also uncles and aunts, but Lin Yatou grew up with the second room, and she has never used their big room for stitches?"
Mrs. Wang said with a slight smile on her face: "That's right, since the eldest girl came in, how have they ever treated her sincerely? Just look at the old lady's face and talk about it."
Aunt Xue asked again: "Do they know about Miss Lin's background?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Even I don't know much about this matter. Besides, the old lady is usually the most impatient with the couple, so she probably won't let them know."
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Then I must congratulate my sister first, and made a lot of money."
Mrs. Wang couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, as if all the gold and silver treasures were in her hands, and said repeatedly: "As soon as the things are in hand, I will send her away, so that Bao Yuer and Bao girl will be sent away." Once the marriage is done, it also settles a problem that our sisters have had for many years."
Aunt Xue had been enjoying herself with Mrs. Wang, but suddenly she screamed and said, "It's broken, sister, you forgot? If the old lady passes away, she must keep her filial piety for at least one year!"
Mrs. Wang also followed in surprise and said: "That's right! As the saying goes, nights are long and dreams are many, I think it's better to find a suitable time to settle the marriage between the two of them, and you can rest assured, but if it really happens that the old lady dies, Then I have to wrong them, hey! This year's filial piety is not short! Don't look back and make troubles in this year, it would not be worthwhile."
Aunt Xue also frowned slightly.
The two who were talking about it just now suddenly lost their minds.
