Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

August is coming gradually, and there are more festival items in the market.All kinds of pastries newly produced by Guishunzhai outside Xizhimen.It is said that Guishunzhai is famous for its crispy, crispy, oily but not greasy, variety of colors and varieties.Now rushing to the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival, all kinds of new varieties this year are also on the market.Due to its great reputation, many princes and nobles in the capital also come here to order, or give gifts, or eat for themselves, and the business has always been very good.

A plain car covered with eight-treasure green silk slowly stopped not far from Guishunzhai. Liu'er hurried forward, lifted the curtain, bowed and asked with a smile, "What is your order?"

Shui Rong raised her eyebrows, took a few taels of silver from the purse tied around her waist, handed it to Liu'er, and ordered: "Go to the store and buy two moon cakes."

Liu'er laughed again and asked, "I don't know what stuffing you want?"

Shui Rong pondered for a while and said, "It's the same jujube paste, and the same golden leg."

Liu'er went away in response.

Shui Rong sat in the car and didn't come out. There was a lot of people talking outside, so he never poked his head to look.After dealing with the account all afternoon, my head is still a little dizzy. It has been six days since I took over this matter, and I finally have some clues.He thought of Daiyu at home again, and he didn't know what was going on with her, it was getting dark earlier than before, and at this moment he wanted to go home immediately.His wife is waiting for him to go back.

Shui Rong felt that Liu'er had been gone for a long time, and now it would be dark soon, could it be that it was still crowded?Shui Rong raised a corner of the curtain, and the four fields were darkened, and he waited for a long time before he saw Liu'er coming over.

"My lord has bought it."

"Their business is really good, and they are still busy at this time." Shui Rong took the mooncakes tightly wrapped in mulberry paper.

Liu'er said: "Because I met the boy next to Baoyu, and I stood and talked for a long time, which missed the prince's business."

Shui Rong said: "Let's go."

Liu'er put down the curtain, ordered the coachman a few words, and hurried to the North Prince's Mansion.

After finally arriving home, Liu'er explained in detail how he met Baoyu's servant.Shui Rong's face darkened, and he walked towards the backyard with the moon cake.

The two osmanthus trees in the courtyard have bloomed one after another in the past two days, filling the courtyard with the fragrance of flowers.Daiyu just came out of the room and saw Shui Rong standing under the Osmanthus osmanthus tree, Daiyu said with a smile: "The lord is back."

"Hey, I'm back." Shui Rong walked over with big strides, he walked up to him and said with a smile, "Because I was in a rush to buy mooncakes, I was a little delayed, but it made you wait at home for a long time."

Daiyu smacked her lips: "I'm still buying it. Those people gave it to me, and I made it at home. Is there anything missing?"

Shui Rong entered the house, and said to Daiyu, "This Gui Shun Zhai's is different from what we make at home. I bought it specially for you to taste. Don't we return gifts from others?"

Daiyu poured a bowl of tea for him with her own hands.

Daiyu asked again, "Have you ever eaten?"

Shui Rong said: "I've been reconciling the accounts all afternoon, and then Master Zuo from Nanjing invited us to Xinghualou for a drink."

Daiyu said: "It seems that you haven't drunk much, and the smell of alcohol is not heavy."

"I'm afraid you won't be happy, how dare I drink too much."

Daiyu called Tongyun and said: "Go and tell the kitchen to make a bowl of sour bamboo shoot soup, don't make it too oily." When Daiyu turned her head, seeing Shui Rong was looking at her, Daiyu smiled slightly: "My lord Do you have anything to say?"

Shui Rong hesitated to speak, turned his head away, and hurriedly said: "No, it's nothing."

Daiyu said: "I made two pairs of socks for you when I was free, do you want to try it, my lord?"

Shui Rong said: "No need, what you do must be good."

Daiyu saw that his face was sullen again, and he didn't show the slightest joy, which was in stark contrast to the moment when he just entered the door. She thought that it was the troubles of the household department again, so she asked him with a smile: "The one I made for the prince? Sachet, why doesn't the prince wear it on his body?"

Shui Rong apologized: "I left in a hurry this morning, so I was left behind. I will definitely remember tomorrow."

"If you hadn't asked me to make one for you for a few days, I wouldn't be so thoughtful. It's done, but you don't know you don't wear it. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the prince's entertainment has increased. What's missing? Let Xiyue prepare for you."

Shui Rong only smiled, his brows were furrowed, as if he was preoccupied.

Until the sour bamboo shoot soup was made, I drank half a bowl of water.Daiyu stayed with her all the time, Dunhui and Shui Cheng came to visit, and Nan Qing also came to say hello.The other maids in the room also retreated one after another.

Only then did Shui Rong talk to Daiyu: "Have you heard that something serious happened to your Jia family?"

Daiyu asked in a daze, "What's the big deal?"

Shui Rong said: "When I went to Guishunzhai today, Liu'er happened to meet Baoming who was next to Baoyu, and said that on the ninth day of the previous day, Baoyu and several children of Jia's family took the exam together, but after that session ended, they disappeared. Now the whole Jia family is in a hurry, today is the eleventh day, and it is said that Baoyu still hasn't come home, and the people of the Jia family are asking around, asking if they have been to our house."

Daiyu was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then asked again: "Didn't you see him go back after the exam on the ninth day?"

Shui Rong said: "I heard that there are people who are preparing to meet the scene, but I waited for a long time but I didn't see him, and I searched everywhere, but I still don't know where it is. It's really a strange thing, Yu'er, tell me, Baoyu is so big He is not a child, how could he get lost."

Daiyu sat there quietly, Shui Rong was still talking in front of her, what she was talking about, Daiyu couldn't hear clearly, her heart was churning slightly, and suddenly she remembered those days before.She knows Baoyu's temperament the most, and she probably also knows why he left home. If he wants to hide deliberately, I'm afraid no one else will find him.

Shui Rong talked, and seeing that Daiyu didn't speak for a long time, he knew that she must be worried, so he sat back beside her, put his arms around her waist and said, "It's just looking for someone, there are many idlers in our house, It's not difficult to ask for help to find it. Don't worry, I'm afraid it will be all right in two days."

Daiyu leaned in his arms, weeping silently, thinking that uncle was too persecuted, and he would leave home only after reaching this threshold. In his eyes, these fame and wealth are nothing, but It's better to be unrestrained and comfortable.How can these words in Daiyu's heart be related to Shui Rong, that is her former confidant, no matter what he does, there will always be his reasons, Daiyu doesn't want to mix in anything.

On the second day, Shui Rong ordered Meng Yi to help him find Baoyu. If he refused to follow him back to Rongguo Mansion, he would at least bring him to the mansion. Everyone could help persuade him, maybe it would be all right.

Let’s talk about another scene in Rongguo Mansion. Mrs. Wang was sick and lying on the bed, crying all day long: “My son, who has raised you for 20 years, turned out to be rebellious. A daughter-in-law is married to you.” , what else is there to be dissatisfied with. Fortunately, the old lady loved you so much when she was still alive, it seems that the pain was in vain. If you die, it would be nice to keep Pearl."

Baochai, Li Wan and others accompanied him. When Li Wan heard Jia Zhu was mentioned, he couldn't help wiping away his tears, and said that although Baochai was sad, he didn't see her crying bitterly. Now people from all over the place are looking for him. As long as he is still in Beijing, he will definitely be able to find him."

Just as he was talking, Jia Zheng walked over and said angrily: "You guys are used to it. There is such a rebellious person in the family. It seems that he intends to lose face of our Jia family so that he can feel at ease. Then he said to Mrs. Wang: "Don't think that you can rely on him, it's just a dream. I said earlier that it would be fine to beat him to death, but you still stop him. What's the use of such a wicked obstacle!"

Seeing the anger on Jia Zheng's face, everyone didn't dare to persuade them, but Mrs. Wang was still lying down, but when she heard Jia Zheng's reprimand, she hurriedly got out of bed and cried, "Master, I only have such a son, but if he has tens of millions It's not good, you are always filial in front of you, find him well, as long as he is fine, don't force him too much, let him go."

Jia Zheng became angry, stomped his feet and shouted: "What are you talking about? You gave birth to him, but you didn't teach him well. There is another test tomorrow. I don't know if he will show up. I have sent Zhou Rui and Li Gui went to guard nearby." Later he said quite sadly: "This evil person, I'm afraid that one day I die, and I will be out of sight and out of mind."

At that moment, Lin Zhixiao replied again, and Jia Zheng went out.

Mrs. You still lived here, and comforted Mrs. Wang again: "Ma'am, what do you call this? The two of our family are still in prison, and they don't know what to do. No one can help you at this critical moment.”

Mrs. Wang looked haggard, and went to see Baochai again, only to see that she didn't speak much, leaning against the edge of the bed, lowering her head slightly, Mrs. Wang felt more and more sad in her heart, and sighed: "I have hurt Miss Baochai." , I have been married for a few years, but I have a good day, but I have bitterness in my stomach and I don’t want to tell my mother-in-law.”

Baochai's eye circles were already red, and with a sob in her throat, she persuaded Mrs. Wang: "Madam, go to sleep first, there must be other ways."

Everyone comforted for a while.Li Wan said to Baochai again: "Sister Bao should also take care of herself. Baoyu may have gone somewhere for fun, and maybe she will be back tomorrow."

Baochai nodded with tears in her eyes, and said to Li Wan, "Thank you, sister-in-law, I hope so."

Li Wan went back to the room here, and went to Jia Lan's room to have a look.I saw him reciting books next to the table, and seeing his mother come in, he got up quickly and said with a smile, "Why is mother here?"

"Good boy, take a rest too. The house is in such a mess, it's really hard for you. You should also go to bed early at night, and you have to go to the arena tomorrow."

In order to reassure her mother, Jia Lan said with a smile: "At first, I wanted to follow my family to find my second uncle, but they refused to let me. I was afraid that my mother would be worried. Don't worry about my mother. I read two more pages and then rested." , I will be very strong tomorrow morning."

Li Wan straightened his son's clothes and saw that he looked just like Jia Zhu back then. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad, but he hoped that his son would achieve something, and that all these years of suffering were not in vain.
