Dai Yuxin says

As in the past, Baoyu walked up to Jia Mu, put his head in Jia Mu's arms, exposed half of his face and smiled at everyone, "is it a matter of the third sister getting married?" To be the Young Princess, of course, but what about the other thing?"

Baoyu pursed his lips and smiled but didn't say anything, causing everyone to urge, "Say it, say it quickly."

"The old lady promised me this happy event." Baoyu shyly buried her head in Jiamu's arms, unwilling to say anything more.

Seeing him like this, everyone understood what he was going to say, which was both funny and sad.

Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu with a smile and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, you are such an adult, you still have no control over your mouth."

Baoyu climbed up from Jia Mu's arms, looked up at Mrs. Wang and said, "My son is not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask Sister Bao, how hard am I studying now? If the old lady can reassure me earlier, I will take it next year. A fame is not a piece of cake."

Mother Jia hugged Baoyu pitifully, and said with a sad expression: "My good boy, if you can study hard and make progress, it is not in vain for me to love you."

Baoyu took advantage of the situation and said coyly in Jiamu's arms: "Ancestor, how is Sister Lin? I want to go and see her, but my wife and Sister Bao won't let me go. I'm also afraid that Sister Lin will be unhappy."

Jia Mu's face was ugly, she hugged Baoyu tightly, her voice was a little stiff, and she murmured: "Your sister Lin..."

Baoyu saw that Jia Mu's voice was trembling and she couldn't continue, feeling bad, so she raised her head and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Lin?"

Mrs. Wang immediately said: "On the night of Shangyuan Festival, she went out to watch the lamp and caught cold. The imperial doctor has seen her and asked her to take good care of her in the room, and no one is allowed to disturb her."

Baoyu got up from Jia Mu's arms and said, "Let me go and see. Sister Lin is weak. Why doesn't Zijuan let her wear more?"

Mother Jia turned her face to Baochai, and said weakly, "Baoyu's daughter-in-law, you go back with Baoyu and serve him well. Let's go, I'm tired."

Everyone was eager to leave early. After hearing what Jiamu said, they left one after another.

Seeing Mrs. Wang pulling Baoyu and leading Baochai away, Jia's mother couldn't help but feel the sadness of the hero's old age.

She leaned softly on the embroidered couch, lowered her head, and rubbed her temples.He said sadly: "It's been many days, and I haven't heard from Miss Lin. It seems that there is more bad luck than good luck."

Yuanyang stood behind her, gently squeezed her back, and comforted her softly: "Last time, Miss Lin was said to be dead, but Miss Lin not only came back to life, but her body is much stronger. This time, Miss Lin may have a different story." An adventure, rescued by a strange person. The old lady just relax, Miss Lin will come back naturally."

"It's different this time. Those gangsters are thieves who do all kinds of crimes. If Lin girl falls into their hands, she can't survive anyway. Poor girl Lin, I don't know what evil she did in her previous life to end up like this. There is no way to help her." Jiamu's voice was desolate, she rubbed her temples, and sighed faintly.

Yuanyang curled her lips slightly, and said disdainfully: "It's strange to say, there are many people watching the lanterns, why did the villains just plunder Miss Lin as master and servant?"

"Cough, maybe it's because of the unlucky beauty?" Mother Jia said this, not because she didn't have doubts in her heart, but she just didn't want to think deeply, let alone say it.

Because as long as you say it, you may tear your face off with Wang Shi. After all, Wang Shi is also the mother of a noble concubine, and she has already sunk into the sky. Even if she is desperate, she may not have a chance of winning.Even if he wins, what good is there?

What's more, Daiyu has been taken away by gangsters. Even if she is found back, her innocence will be lost, and it will be difficult for her to marry.

Even if she was given to Baoyu as a concubine, if she was no longer around, she would be begging for life in the hands of Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the consequences would be disastrous.Why don't you just follow what Wang said, don't break face with her, continue to maintain the inherent status of your ancestors, and at the same time preserve Daiyu's reputation.If Min'er knows about it, she can only blame her daughter for her bad life.

Seeing that Jiamu didn't go on, Yuanyang naturally didn't dare to bring up the matter again, but was secretly sad for Zijuan in her heart.

Baochai followed Mrs. Wang back to Rongxi Hall. Mrs. Wang coaxed, lied to and reprimanded Baoyu, babbling and preaching for a long time, which made Baoyu upset and showed a docile attitude. Only then did Mrs. Wang be satisfied. Ask Xiren to accompany him back.

After taking the tea served by Baochai herself, she took a sip, cleared her throat, smacked her lips, and said affectionately, "Baby girl, sit in front of me."

Baochai obediently approached her with a smiling face, sat down on the embroidered stool opposite her, raised her silver basin face, and stared at her with watery almond eyes.

Seeing Baochai's attitude of listening attentively, Mrs. Wang felt very satisfied.Slowing down the tone, she said in a low voice: "I didn't expect Tan Yatou to leave the cabinet so quickly. She didn't prepare anything, and everything had to be done in a hurry. Thinking about it, there are so many clues, my head is getting bigger."

"Madam, don't worry, there is still half a month before the third younger sister leaves the court. Chai'er is young, and some things are unexpected, and the madam just orders it." Mrs. Wang listened to Baochai's soft words, and smiled: "I might as well tell you directly, Her work is naturally done by servants, but the money is not enough. I thought it would cost at least 5000 taels, and I went to the old lady. She was only willing to pay 3000 taels, which is still one or two thousand less. There is really no money in the money."

Baochai blinked her eyes and said in pain, "Why don't you take out part of my dowry?"

With a sullen face, Mrs. Wang flatly refused, "No."

Seeing that Baochai didn't quite understand, he took a breath and said, "Are you stupid? You give away things to others. How will you and Baoyu live in the future?"

Seeing Baochai's face full of grievances, she said in a more relaxed tone: "Let's think about it again and see where we can get a sum of money from it." At this point, she paused and stared at Baochai. He lowered his head and kept silent, so he had no choice but to enlighten: "Your sister Lin has not been whereabouts, it seems that there is more than good luck."

Baochai's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Mrs. Wang was playing with Yuyuan again.Thinking of the "ghost shaving her head", she kept silent and listened silently.

Mrs. Wang said a little unhappy: "You child, you are usually clever, why are you looking like a gourd today?"

Baochai laughed and said, "I took someone to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion the day before yesterday, and saw that there were only a few silk flowers in Sister Lin's jewelry box, and nothing of value."

"How could this be?" Mrs. Wang jumped up and stared at Baochai as if her tail was on fire, hoping she had heard wrong.

"I was also very puzzled. I wondered if Sister Lin put the things in the old lady's place. I quietly asked the old lady's room. It turned out that Sister Lin not only didn't put the things in the old lady's place, but also looked for them a while ago. An excuse to make the old lady return what the auntie left her." Baochai frowned and said every word in detail.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's anger, she said angrily: "Don't talk about it. For a while, we are only busy celebrating the New Year and getting married. She must have taken the opportunity to let Zijuan Xueyan's two little hooves smuggle things to Jade. garden."

Seeing that Baochai was hesitating to speak, she slowed down and said, "Is there anything else you can't say with me?"
