Baoqin came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just remembered something from the past."
The servant girl let out a cry, and while sweeping the floor, she asked: "I heard from my wife that you used to have some grievances with the palace?"
Baoqin smiled wryly, and said: "There have been a lot of grievances. But now, it's too late to say anything. If Concubine De hadn't made trouble at the beginning, our girl would have already accomplished something. If our girl could have succeeded in the past, Rongguo Mansion now It will not be defeated so far. But now, as the second wife said, there is nothing left."
The servant girl paused for a moment, and looked at Baoqin strangely.
"Although I don't know what's going on in your mansion, I can still hear some of it occasionally." The servant girl said, "But what do the things in your mansion have to do with the palace? Could it be the slaves in your house Tenant, if you make a mistake, can you let the empress take the blame?"
Baoqin's expression froze for a moment: "What do you mean?"
The rough envoy looked at her a little strangely, and asked: "Did I say something wrong? What does your mansion have to do with the palace? Could it be that the people in your mansion made a mistake, and you still let the empress in the palace go to the palace?" Can you take the blame?"
Baoqin wants to say, you don't know anything.But right now, he couldn't even utter a single word.
The rough envoy servant girl said again: "Besides, even if the empress in the palace can take the blame for your family, she can't just harm other empresses like this. Sister, tell me, is this the reason?"
——But Miss, you can indeed support the mansion.
Baoqin wanted to explain a few words, but couldn't say anything.
She remembered that when Jia Yuanchun first entered the palace, she was like an ordinary little girl who didn't know anything.But after living in the palace for a long time, he knew everything.Those who give drugs, those who do evil, and those who kill without blood, greet each other one by one.Later, even Jia Yuanchun became like them.
When the imperial concubine first entered the palace, both Baoqin and Jia Yuanchun thought that she would be the same as them.
So at that time, both the old lady and Mrs. Wang said, "Let young master Yunling help Yuanchun in the palace", and they all acquiesced to this approach.Mrs. Wang sang "bad face", and the eldest girl sang "red face". They tried different ways to make young master Yunling submit, but later, they failed.
At that time, the little master Yunling didn't take the hard way, and tore up and shredded those things in the past one by one, which made people shudder.
At that time, Baoqin didn't want to understand why the little master Yunling was good to Miss Lin alone, but so bad to the eldest girl and his wife.
But then she figured it out, Miss Yunling is different from others, she treats whoever treats her well; Mrs. Wang made her get into trouble again and again, so she had a grudge with the second wife, and there was no room for change .Baoqin is the son of Rongguo Mansion's family, so naturally she is devoted to Rongguo Mansion, but young master Yunling is not.
At that time, the young master Yunling said, "You will use me as a stepping stone", with cold eyes, I still remember holding the piano until now.At that time, Baoqin thought, isn't that what it should be?But now, it's a little wobbly.
Sometimes Baoqin even wonders if he can't even tell the truth from the fake.
At that time, Mrs. Wang did say that the young master Yunling should block the gun for the noble concubine and charge in front of the noble concubine.At that time, Baoqin couldn't understand it, but thinking about it now, he felt a little uncomfortable.Afterwards, young master Yunling gained a firm foothold in the palace, tore up the deed, and choked on Mrs. Wang several times, and Mrs. Wang gradually calmed down a bit.
When young master Yunling was promoted to Concubine Yun and she was pregnant, Mrs. Wang made up her mind about the child again.
That child can make Rongguo Mansion's status permanent, and it can also make the eldest girl's position stable, even the old lady is tempted.But at that time, what Mrs. Wang said was, "Bring her child here to raise her", and never mentioned "let her live in the imperial concubine's palace".There was also a woman who mentioned that if Concubine Yun gave birth to a prince, she would simply leave the mother and keep the son, once and for all.At that time, Baoqin was still Jia Yuanchun's confidant maid, she considered everything for Jia Yuanchun, and didn't notice anything wrong.
Thinking about it now, I feel more and more embarrassing.
At that time, Jia Yuanchun also acquiesced to Mrs. Wang's words.
Later, Young Master Yunling acted cautiously, the Changchun Palace was like an iron bucket, and even the Imperial Physician Wang followed her advice, and the matter calmed down a bit.After the new year, the rumors of the investigation and plagiarism became more and more serious. Mrs. Wang even found a witch and wanted to do a ritual to borrow the blessing of Concubine Yun to the eldest girl. , but things are done after all.
Later, because the empress dowager cared about the face of the royal family, she suppressed this matter.
Baoqin always felt that the imperial concubine knew about it.
Because two months ago, when the imperial concubine sent them out of the palace, she once told the aunt in charge: No matter what benefits they gave to the aunt in charge, and what relationship they used, all those from the Rongguo Mansion will be sent out together. If they can't be dismissed, they will take half of their monthly bills and double, or triple, or quadruple their dismissal expenses. In short, they must be let out of the palace.
If the imperial concubine didn't know anything at that time, how could she give such an order?
The grievances between the imperial concubine and Mrs. Wang, and their grievances, have grown.
In fact, before the old lady died, she hoped that the imperial concubine could be used as an adopted daughter to help the Rongguo Mansion.
But at that time, the Rongguo Mansion was in a mess, Madam Wang personally vetoed the matter, and none of the documents prepared earlier were used.Later, when the old lady passed away, the matter was completely settled.Baoqin once went back to the mansion to visit, and Mrs. Wang had signs of hysteria at that time.In addition to those things that happened later, he tried to spread rumors, stuffed people in the palace, stared at the imperial concubine, wanted to find out her fault, wanted Hui Concubine and the imperial concubine to lose both, and finally provoke Hui Concubine and De Concubine "Let them die together!", which makes people feel that Mrs. Wang is really a little lost and crazy.
Baoqin thought about it, and was a little dazed.
While sweeping the floor, the rough servant girl said: "I look at your wife, she must have worn gold and silver in the past and enjoyed the glory and wealth. Now that the family has fallen, it is human nature to become insane. But but Sister, there is nothing wrong with confusing right and wrong. Although we all know that my wife has lost her mind, we can't take these crazy words as the truth."
Baoqin wanted to retort subconsciously: "But my wife..."
The rough servant girl glanced at Baoqin again, and then said: "My sister, although I am a rough worker, I can't compare to my sister who enjoyed a lot of glory and wealth in the palace before. But this reason is not yours. In the palace, or outside the palace, it can be reversed. If the wife is not crazy, she can still listen to her words; but now the second wife is obviously crazy, how can a lunatic's words be taken as true, you say , is that the reason?"
Baoqin wanted to defend again, but couldn't even utter a word.
The rough servant girl swept the floor clatteringly, and said: "Although I look at this huge mansion, this Rongxi Hall, which is magnificent, does seem to have lived in many people. There is such a big stable, at least It can hold fifteen or sixteen horses. In addition, there are rows of side rooms and servant rooms. If you think about it with your toes, you know that your mansion has been rich and honored before. But now, your mansion is like this. Isn’t that the trouble for us, that’s asking for death?”
The rough envoy maid was not from the Rongguo Mansion, so she said "in your mansion" instead of "in our mansion".
Baoqin wanted to justify a few more sentences, but found that he couldn't say anything.
In fact, the girl in front of me seems to be right...
"Oh, this sister." The rough maid held the broom and looked at Baoqin strangely, "I saw you here, and I stayed there for a while. If what I just said is wrong, you can also refute it." Me, don't stick here, think of yourself so crazy, it's not good for yourself."
Baoqin was speechless.
The servant girl let out a sigh of relief, and said, "Forget it, I still have to dump the leaves. I can't finish today's work, and the second mistress will scold me again. Please make room for me, sister." After finishing speaking, she Gather the fallen leaves together, put them in a basket, and hold them to leave.
Baoqin subconsciously moved away two steps, letting the maid go to the back door with a basket of fallen leaves.
After a while, she suddenly heard the servant girl asking: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Baoqin looked towards the rough envoy maid, and saw the rough envoy maid standing in front of the corner door of the back door, holding a basket of fallen leaves. She just used her foot to hook the door open, but she was stunned there.Standing outside the door was a young woman in her twenties, holding a little girl by the hand, and was about to knock on the back door; when she saw a strange servant girl, she was also taken aback for a moment.
Baoqin recognized that the woman was Wang Xifeng, so he stepped forward and said, "Second Grandma Lian." As he spoke, he wanted to welcome her in.
Wang Xifeng held the little girl in his hand, shook his head and said: "No need. I came today to ask about my aunt's illness and how it's going. The second master and the elder master are not here, so I just let me steal this time. Since you are here," Wang Xifeng looked at Baoqin, then at the rough envoy and asked, "Are there any new people in your house?"
Baoqin's heart skipped a beat.
Even Wang Xifeng's wording was "in your house".
But now is not the time to worry about that.Baoqin asked the rough envoy maid to go out and dump the fallen leaves, and then explained to Wang Xifeng: "Second Mistress Lian doesn't know something, we just came back from the palace, and the maids in the mansion were scattered and chased away. Even the servants were kicked out, so Second Mistress Bao bought another maid to sweep the courtyard and watch the second wife take medicine. Second Mistress, please come in."
Wang Xifeng hesitated for a moment, then brought the little girl in through the back door.
Baoqin welcomed Wang Xifeng into the mansion, and went to the next yard to find Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai had just returned to the house to rest for a while, and when she heard that Wang Xifeng had arrived, she hurriedly put aside what she was doing, asked the maid on duty to make a pot of tea, and sent someone to the next door to invite Li Wan and Jia Lan over. .Today Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu are not here, so Xue Baochai and Li Wan can only entertain guests.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Wang Xifeng said: "I came here today. First, I want to take a look at the second wife's illness. After all, she is my aunt. It's been a few days, so I should think about it. The second thing is to ask You guys, have you heard about Daiyu's coming?"
Xue Baochai froze for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I said I would come."
Wang Xifeng said: "Our family also received a post saying that Princess Beijing is coming to visit my uncle. I thought, since the post has been sent to our house, the second room will never miss it. You——what do you think? No?"
Li Wan said with a smile: "Is there any idea? If the princess wants to come and see, then we'll just entertain her, that's all. Before Rongguo Mansion separated, Biao girl also lived with us for a period of time, so she didn't have that kind of status." .”
Wang Xifeng looked at Xue Baochai and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "I don't know. But my sister-in-law is right. Back then we didn't have that kind of birth in the garden. Daiyu was going to visit her uncle, so we entertained her as we used to. That's right. My son Daiyu came to visit us a while ago, and she didn't have such a privilege. Besides, she also knows about the situation in our residence."
When Wang Xifeng heard the words "the situation in our mansion", he felt a little bit sad.
Xue Baochai discussed with Wang Xifeng for a while, and then said, "The second sister-in-law is here to see the wife. At this point, the wife should also get up. How about this? The second sister-in-law will go with me to see the wife first. Draw up another charter."
Wang Xifeng agreed: "That's fine."
At that moment, Xue Baochai took Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Baoqin to Mrs. Wang's room.Just now the servant girl who was the rough envoy came back and told Xue Baochai that she was going to go to shift.Xue Baochai just wanted to call her to stop, but then she thought that there were three or four people on her side, no matter how angry the second wife was, they would be able to restrain the second wife, so she gave up.
Mrs. Wang had been making a fuss all morning just now, and she didn't rest until lunch.
When Wang Xifeng and others entered the room, Madam Wang had just woken up and was copying Buddhist scriptures in front of the Buddha statue.Xue Baochai went up to call his mother, and said, "Mother, Lian's second sister-in-law is here to see you."
Madam Wang turned her head and said coldly, "What is she doing here?"
Wang Xifeng had never seen Mrs. Wang like this before, so she couldn't help being startled.Xue Baochai stepped forward to smooth things over, and said, "Mother, Lian's second sister-in-law is worried about your illness, so she came to see you specially..." Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang threw a large pile of Buddhist scriptures at them again, screaming Shouted: "Get out! Get out for me!"
Thirty or forty pieces of Buddhist scriptures were sprinkled down one after another, and together with the shredded paper just now, it looked like crazy.
Xue Baochai's complexion turned blue again, just as she was about to persuade her, Mrs. Wang screamed again: "Get out! Get out of here!" Her voice was sad and harsh.Xue Baochai still wanted to persuade her again, but Wang Xifeng and Li Wan had already pulled Xue Baochai back from the door.
When they retreated to the door and closed the door for Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng said with lingering fear: "At the beginning I heard that the second wife lost her mind and went crazy. I thought it was just a rumor. Looking at it now, I'm afraid that she is really a little unconscious." Thinking of Mrs. Wang's life, Wang Xifeng secretly sighed and sighed a little.
But no matter how embarrassing she is, Wang Xifeng will never want to come back.
When Jia Lian and Jia She were going to separate, Wang Xifeng had a few fights.But later, Jia Lian analyzed with her a few times, and Wang Xifeng gradually became discouraged, and planned to go out with Jia Lian and Jia She, not wanting to live with the second room.Although Mrs. Wang is her aunt and her aunt, those things at the beginning were really chilling.
Wang Xifeng thought of what happened back then, Jia Baoyu, and his father, and sighed again.
Xue Baochai and Li Wan accompanied Wang Xifeng to the front, and said helplessly, "Second wife, she does this from time to time."
Wang Xifeng thought for a while, then asked again: "Is the second wife seriously ill?"
Xue Baochai said: "I have been ill for less than half a year. Back then Concubine Hui invited several doctors to come together and said that the second wife had lost her mind. We still didn't believe it. Later, Concubine Hui lost power, so we wanted to wait for the limelight In the past, I asked another doctor to show my wife a closer look. But for the past two months, my wife has been hysterical every day, and sometimes even Baoyu doesn’t want to be seen, which really makes people wonder if she is really sick.”
Li Wan interjected: "Later, the second master and Baoyu invited several doctors for his wife, and the diagnosis was exactly the same. A few days ago, Daiyu came here once, and found two more doctors to see the wife's illness and make a diagnosis. It’s still the same, and I prescribed a lot of other medicines, but it hasn’t improved until now. We all thought that my wife must be really sick.”
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng sighed again.
Xue Baochai sighed: "You have seen the situation in our family now. Even if Daiyu comes over, we have no choice but to entertain her as before. Besides, the wife is like this now, we are daughters-in-law. Yes, besides staying with her, what else can I do? Let it count as a day when you get through it. When you get through it, you will be fine."
Wang Xifeng thought of them and himself, his eyes flickered slightly.
Xue Baochai smiled wryly again: "Now all expectations are placed on Baoyu and Lan Geer. If one of them can pass the imperial examination, this day is over. Now that Baoyu is being escorted by the master, I am also From time to time, he was persuading him, and finally he was better than before. Xiren and Sheyue, one took a leave of absence and went back to his hometown, and the other was sick with Qingwen in the next room. If Baoyu wanted to be the same as before, there would be no other way. .” When it comes to attacking people, I suddenly feel a little distressed.
Li Wan saw Xue Baochai's distress, so he came forward to smooth things over and said, "That's right. Now the second master is their teacher himself, and the second uncle is not allowed to play around outside. Even Brother Lang has to study and practice calligraphy every day." The official wife. I often think that if it is not for Brother Lan, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this day." When Li Wan said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, it's all about the past. Something. It’s rare for you to come here today, so you might as well save it for dinner before leaving.”
Wang Xifeng declined: "No, I'd better go back first. When I can save time, the second master will make trouble with me again."
When Li Wan heard that Wang Xifeng mentioned Jia Lian, he didn't force him to stay, so he gave up.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wang Xifeng took the little girl just now, said goodbye to them, and left through the back door.
Xue Baochai and Li Wan went to the back door together to see them off.When Wang Xifeng walked away, Xue Baochai sighed and said, "I don't know when these days will end."
Li Wan also sighed and said, "Just take it slow, there will always be a day when it will end."
The two of them went back to the house together.Although Mrs. Wang was still chattering, talking to herself in her own room, Xue Baochai and Li Wan let her go because they didn't take it out on anyone.
The next morning, Lin Daiyu took several nuns and maids to meet Jia Amnesty first, and then to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Zheng.
At Jia Amnesty's side, Lin Daiyu met her uncle, aunt, cousin and sister-in-law, and sat there for a while.Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian couldn't talk to Lin Daiyu, so they let Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing accompany them.Wang Xifeng saw Xue Baochai and others just yesterday, and felt a little troubled, so she asked her daughter to come to Lin Daiyu and play with her for a while.Mrs. Xing, on the other hand, changed her previous appearance and became very enthusiastic. She even held Lin Daiyu's hand and talked for a while.
After sitting for a while, Lin Daiyu left and went to the former Rongguo Mansion where Jia Zheng lived.
On Jia Zheng's side, Lin Daiyu met her uncle, cousin and sister-in-law as usual.But because Mrs. Wang had just taken the medicine and fell asleep, she didn't see her.Lin Daiyu exchanged pleasantries with Li Wan and Xue Baochai for a while, and then she went to see her aunt as usual.Jia Zheng was a little embarrassed: "Your aunt's illness has become more and more serious in the past two days. If I see her, I will inevitably offend you."
Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and then said softly: "But I came here today to meet my uncle and aunt, and to catch up with my sisters-in-law. If my aunt is seriously ill and I don't visit, it is unreasonable."
Hearing this, Jia Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "Then you need your two sisters-in-law to accompany you."
Lin Daiyu said yes, and said to Li Wan and Xue Baochai, "I'm sorry, my sisters-in-law."
At present, Li Wan, Xue Baochai, and two maidservants Baoqin Sheyue accompanied Lin Daiyu to the backyard to see Mrs. Wang.Two of the maids beside Lin Daiyu also followed into Mrs. Wang's yard to protect Lin Daiyu.Before going out, King Beijing Jing had told the maids to let the princess come back safely.None of them dared to take it lightly.
As soon as she entered Mrs. Wang's yard, Lin Daiyu smelled a pungent smell of medicine.
Even though Lin Daiyu was a medicine jar when she was a child, she had survived under the bitter medicine all year round, such a stench of medicine still refreshed her cognition.Lin Daiyu looked at the maids around her, they all covered their mouths and noses one after another, and they felt a little uncomfortable.
Xue Baochai opened the door first, and called mother softly.
Overwhelmingly approaching is a large pile of Buddhist scriptures.
Yellowish paper was scattered all over the sky, and a few more fell on Lin Daiyu's body.Lin Daiyu picked up the Buddhist scriptures and found that they were disassembled from a booklet, and even the thread ends were cut off.She was a little dazed, and couldn't help but look into the room.
The servant girl let out a cry, and while sweeping the floor, she asked: "I heard from my wife that you used to have some grievances with the palace?"
Baoqin smiled wryly, and said: "There have been a lot of grievances. But now, it's too late to say anything. If Concubine De hadn't made trouble at the beginning, our girl would have already accomplished something. If our girl could have succeeded in the past, Rongguo Mansion now It will not be defeated so far. But now, as the second wife said, there is nothing left."
The servant girl paused for a moment, and looked at Baoqin strangely.

Baoqin wants to say, you don't know anything.But right now, he couldn't even utter a single word.
The rough envoy servant girl said again: "Besides, even if the empress in the palace can take the blame for your family, she can't just harm other empresses like this. Sister, tell me, is this the reason?"
——But Miss, you can indeed support the mansion.
Baoqin wanted to explain a few words, but couldn't say anything.

Baoqin welcomed Wang Xifeng into the mansion, and went to the next yard to find Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai had just returned to the house to rest for a while, and when she heard that Wang Xifeng had arrived, she hurriedly put aside what she was doing, asked the maid on duty to make a pot of tea, and sent someone to the next door to invite Li Wan and Jia Lan over. .Today Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu are not here, so Xue Baochai and Li Wan can only entertain guests.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Wang Xifeng said: "I came here today. First, I want to take a look at the second wife's illness. After all, she is my aunt. It's been a few days, so I should think about it. The second thing is to ask You guys, have you heard about Daiyu's coming?"
Xue Baochai froze for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I said I would come."
Wang Xifeng said: "Our family also received a post saying that Princess Beijing is coming to visit my uncle. I thought, since the post has been sent to our house, the second room will never miss it. You——what do you think? No?"
Li Wan said with a smile: "Is there any idea? If the princess wants to come and see, then we'll just entertain her, that's all. Before Rongguo Mansion separated, Biao girl also lived with us for a period of time, so she didn't have that kind of status." .”
Wang Xifeng looked at Xue Baochai and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xue Baochai shook her head and said, "I don't know. But my sister-in-law is right. Back then we didn't have that kind of birth in the garden. Daiyu was going to visit her uncle, so we entertained her as we used to. That's right. My son Daiyu came to visit us a while ago, and she didn't have such a privilege. Besides, she also knows about the situation in our residence."
When Wang Xifeng heard the words "the situation in our mansion", he felt a little bit sad.
Xue Baochai discussed with Wang Xifeng for a while, and then said, "The second sister-in-law is here to see the wife. At this point, the wife should also get up. How about this? The second sister-in-law will go with me to see the wife first. Draw up another charter."
Wang Xifeng agreed: "That's fine."
At that moment, Xue Baochai took Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and Baoqin to Mrs. Wang's room.Just now the servant girl who was the rough envoy came back and told Xue Baochai that she was going to go to shift.Xue Baochai just wanted to call her to stop, but then she thought that there were three or four people on her side, no matter how angry the second wife was, they would be able to restrain the second wife, so she gave up.
Mrs. Wang had been making a fuss all morning just now, and she didn't rest until lunch.
When Wang Xifeng and others entered the room, Madam Wang had just woken up and was copying Buddhist scriptures in front of the Buddha statue.Xue Baochai went up to call his mother, and said, "Mother, Lian's second sister-in-law is here to see you."
Madam Wang turned her head and said coldly, "What is she doing here?"
Wang Xifeng had never seen Mrs. Wang like this before, so she couldn't help being startled.Xue Baochai stepped forward to smooth things over, and said, "Mother, Lian's second sister-in-law is worried about your illness, so she came to see you specially..." Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang threw a large pile of Buddhist scriptures at them again, screaming Shouted: "Get out! Get out for me!"
Thirty or forty pieces of Buddhist scriptures were sprinkled down one after another, and together with the shredded paper just now, it looked like crazy.
Xue Baochai's complexion turned blue again, just as she was about to persuade her, Mrs. Wang screamed again: "Get out! Get out of here!" Her voice was sad and harsh.Xue Baochai still wanted to persuade her again, but Wang Xifeng and Li Wan had already pulled Xue Baochai back from the door.
When they retreated to the door and closed the door for Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng said with lingering fear: "At the beginning I heard that the second wife lost her mind and went crazy. I thought it was just a rumor. Looking at it now, I'm afraid that she is really a little unconscious." Thinking of Mrs. Wang's life, Wang Xifeng secretly sighed and sighed a little.
But no matter how embarrassing she is, Wang Xifeng will never want to come back.
When Jia Lian and Jia She were going to separate, Wang Xifeng had a few fights.But later, Jia Lian analyzed with her a few times, and Wang Xifeng gradually became discouraged, and planned to go out with Jia Lian and Jia She, not wanting to live with the second room.Although Mrs. Wang is her aunt and her aunt, those things at the beginning were really chilling.
Wang Xifeng thought of what happened back then, Jia Baoyu, and his father, and sighed again.
Xue Baochai and Li Wan accompanied Wang Xifeng to the front, and said helplessly, "Second wife, she does this from time to time."
Wang Xifeng thought for a while, then asked again: "Is the second wife seriously ill?"
Xue Baochai said: "I have been ill for less than half a year. Back then Concubine Hui invited several doctors to come together and said that the second wife had lost her mind. We still didn't believe it. Later, Concubine Hui lost power, so we wanted to wait for the limelight In the past, I asked another doctor to show my wife a closer look. But for the past two months, my wife has been hysterical every day, and sometimes even Baoyu doesn’t want to be seen, which really makes people wonder if she is really sick.”
Li Wan interjected: "Later, the second master and Baoyu invited several doctors for his wife, and the diagnosis was exactly the same. A few days ago, Daiyu came here once, and found two more doctors to see the wife's illness and make a diagnosis. It’s still the same, and I prescribed a lot of other medicines, but it hasn’t improved until now. We all thought that my wife must be really sick.”
Hearing this, Wang Xifeng sighed again.
Xue Baochai sighed: "You have seen the situation in our family now. Even if Daiyu comes over, we have no choice but to entertain her as before. Besides, the wife is like this now, we are daughters-in-law. Yes, besides staying with her, what else can I do? Let it count as a day when you get through it. When you get through it, you will be fine."
Wang Xifeng thought of them and himself, his eyes flickered slightly.
Xue Baochai smiled wryly again: "Now all expectations are placed on Baoyu and Lan Geer. If one of them can pass the imperial examination, this day is over. Now that Baoyu is being escorted by the master, I am also From time to time, he was persuading him, and finally he was better than before. Xiren and Sheyue, one took a leave of absence and went back to his hometown, and the other was sick with Qingwen in the next room. If Baoyu wanted to be the same as before, there would be no other way. .” When it comes to attacking people, I suddenly feel a little distressed.
Li Wan saw Xue Baochai's distress, so he came forward to smooth things over and said, "That's right. Now the second master is their teacher himself, and the second uncle is not allowed to play around outside. Even Brother Lang has to study and practice calligraphy every day." The official wife. I often think that if it is not for Brother Lan, I am afraid that I will not be able to survive this day." When Li Wan said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, it's all about the past. Something. It’s rare for you to come here today, so you might as well save it for dinner before leaving.”
Wang Xifeng declined: "No, I'd better go back first. When I can save time, the second master will make trouble with me again."
When Li Wan heard that Wang Xifeng mentioned Jia Lian, he didn't force him to stay, so he gave up.
The three exchanged pleasantries for a while, Wang Xifeng took the little girl just now, said goodbye to them, and left through the back door.
Xue Baochai and Li Wan went to the back door together to see them off.When Wang Xifeng walked away, Xue Baochai sighed and said, "I don't know when these days will end."
Li Wan also sighed and said, "Just take it slow, there will always be a day when it will end."
The two of them went back to the house together.Although Mrs. Wang was still chattering, talking to herself in her own room, Xue Baochai and Li Wan let her go because they didn't take it out on anyone.
The next morning, Lin Daiyu took several nuns and maids to meet Jia Amnesty first, and then to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Zheng.
At Jia Amnesty's side, Lin Daiyu met her uncle, aunt, cousin and sister-in-law, and sat there for a while.Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian couldn't talk to Lin Daiyu, so they let Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing accompany them.Wang Xifeng saw Xue Baochai and others just yesterday, and felt a little troubled, so she asked her daughter to come to Lin Daiyu and play with her for a while.Mrs. Xing, on the other hand, changed her previous appearance and became very enthusiastic. She even held Lin Daiyu's hand and talked for a while.
After sitting for a while, Lin Daiyu left and went to the former Rongguo Mansion where Jia Zheng lived.
On Jia Zheng's side, Lin Daiyu met her uncle, cousin and sister-in-law as usual.But because Mrs. Wang had just taken the medicine and fell asleep, she didn't see her.Lin Daiyu exchanged pleasantries with Li Wan and Xue Baochai for a while, and then she went to see her aunt as usual.Jia Zheng was a little embarrassed: "Your aunt's illness has become more and more serious in the past two days. If I see her, I will inevitably offend you."
Lin Daiyu thought for a while, and then said softly: "But I came here today to meet my uncle and aunt, and to catch up with my sisters-in-law. If my aunt is seriously ill and I don't visit, it is unreasonable."
Hearing this, Jia Zheng thought for a while, and then said, "Then you need your two sisters-in-law to accompany you."
Lin Daiyu said yes, and said to Li Wan and Xue Baochai, "I'm sorry, my sisters-in-law."
At present, Li Wan, Xue Baochai, and two maidservants Baoqin Sheyue accompanied Lin Daiyu to the backyard to see Mrs. Wang.Two of the maids beside Lin Daiyu also followed into Mrs. Wang's yard to protect Lin Daiyu.Before going out, King Beijing Jing had told the maids to let the princess come back safely.None of them dared to take it lightly.
As soon as she entered Mrs. Wang's yard, Lin Daiyu smelled a pungent smell of medicine.
Even though Lin Daiyu was a medicine jar when she was a child, she had survived under the bitter medicine all year round, such a stench of medicine still refreshed her cognition.Lin Daiyu looked at the maids around her, they all covered their mouths and noses one after another, and they felt a little uncomfortable.
Xue Baochai opened the door first, and called mother softly.
Overwhelmingly approaching is a large pile of Buddhist scriptures.
Yellowish paper was scattered all over the sky, and a few more fell on Lin Daiyu's body.Lin Daiyu picked up the Buddhist scriptures and found that they were disassembled from a booklet, and even the thread ends were cut off.She was a little dazed, and couldn't help but look into the room.
