There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Baoqin stood up and muttered to himself: "No, I have to go back to the house and tell the old lady. The old lady loves the eldest girl the most, and she will never let the eldest girl be in such a difficult situation." Then all of a sudden Pushing open the door, ran towards Rongxi Hall.

Halfway through the run, Baoqin slowed down again, looked around and said, "Where is this place?"

Surrounded by pavilions and pavilions, there is light snow floating in the sky, under the pointed eaves, there are still two small bells hanging, and when the cold wind blows, they will jingle.Baoqin looked around, looked around, and murmured: "This is Rongguo Mansion. But why am I in Rongguo Mansion? I am obviously serving the eldest girl in the palace. Why did I come back here suddenly? I..."

Jiang Ling sat on the high eaves, looking at Baoqin below, silent.

Baoqin talked to himself for a while, then stomped his feet and said: "It doesn't matter, go and tell the old lady first, this matter is absolutely impossible. If the eldest girl gets involved in this matter again, the people in the palace will definitely not be able to do it." I can't take the opportunity to eat her. I have to hurry over there." Yan Ba ​​hastily quickened his pace, ran straight to Rongxi Hall, and called the old lady.

Rongxi Hall is still the same as before, magnificent and magnificent, exuding a faint cold aura.

Jia's mother was lying on the top bed, her eyes were closed tightly, her complexion was ashen, and she was much older than when Baoqin saw her last time.Pearl was holding the medicine bowl, and fed medicine to Jiamu one by one. After each mouthful, she heard Jiamu's rough coughing, like a leaky bellows.Next to Ruanta stood several women surrounded by jewels and emeralds, including Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Xue Baochai, Jia Tanchun, and Jia Huan who was eavesdropping under the table.

Seeing such a situation, Baoqin couldn't help feeling sad, and called the old lady mournfully.

When the people in the room heard the sound, they all turned their heads and looked at Baoqin with different expressions.Zhuzhu gave up two steps slightly, motioned Baoqin to come forward, and greeted the old lady.Baoqin sobbed for a while, staggered forward, kowtowed to Jia Mu and said, "Baoqin to the old lady, please help me. Old lady, please help a group of girls, the eldest girl is in the palace, it is really... Can't stop."

After finishing speaking, Baoqin looked up at Mrs. Wang again, and called Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was unmoved.

Jiang Ling was still sitting on the high eaves, watching what happened in Rongxi Hall, silent.

Just now she brought a few people into the dreamland, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people in the dreamland. Not only did she bring Jiamu and Zhuzhu in, but she also brought Mrs. Wang and others who were visiting into the dreamland. .I don't know what it will be like when they wake up.

Holding the piano, she called the old lady, and then called the wife again, and said with a crying voice: "Our girl has not thought about food and drink for the past two days, and she has lost weight all day long. I really can't bear it. Old lady, you You can't watch our girl suffer hardships in the palace, but see death without saving her."

Jia Mu was still lying on the soft couch without opening her eyes, letting Pearl feed her medicine one mouthful at a time.

Instead, Mrs. Wang next to her said, "How are you talking?"

Baoqin kowtowed to Mrs. Wang again, and said with a crying voice: "The second wife knows that our girl's life in the palace is already difficult, and now you let her..." Baoqin looked at Mrs. Xing With a glance, he suddenly stopped talking, and his voice became a little lower, "Let her help Second Lord Bao. If this is in the palace, if someone catches him, he won't be able to turn himself around. Don't say that Long Live Lord has killed himself. In the beginning, I never touched the eldest girl, and instead set up the eldest girl as a target, even if, even if the eldest girl is a serious concubine, she can't stand such torture from the mansion." The youngest son's attack on the noble is not something that can be easily concealed.

Mrs. Wang said coldly: "Is there a place for you to talk here?"

"Second wife..."

"Go out." Mrs. Wang stopped in a low voice, "We are here to discuss the condition of the old lady. You are a servant girl in the palace, what are you talking about here? Why don't you go back to serve the eldest girl. How many years ago did the old lady As I said before, Yuan Chun and the mansion both prosper and lose, if the mansion is not living well, she will be even more uneasy in the palace. I asked her to help my brother for the sake of her future."

If Jia Baoyu was really the one who took over the title, then Jia Yuanchun would have more confidence in the palace.Even if he doesn't like Long Live Lord, he can use his brother's power to get around in the palace and drive out all those who don't have eyes.Mrs. Wang thought to herself.

Although the risk in the early stage is indeed a bit big for Jia Yuanchun.

Baoqin called the second wife sadly again, and Mrs. Wang reprimanded sharply: "Go out!...Pearl, you take her out, and I will serve the old lady with medicine." Li took the medicine bowl and bumped the pearl lightly by the way.

Pearl had no choice but to give up the seat to Mrs. Wang, stepped forward and took Qin's hand and said: "Sister Baoqin, let's go back."

"I..." Baoqin murmured for a long time, wanting to say that he wanted to talk to the old lady alone, but all the ladies and girls here were the ladies and girls in the mansion, only one Pearl was like him, and wanted to talk to the old lady in private In other words, it is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky.Baoqin stared blankly at Pearl, tears suddenly fell, and said in a hoarse voice: "Old lady..."

"Let's go." Pearl tugged at her sleeve, "Don't offend the second wife."

Baoqin dragged and refused to leave, Mrs. Wang glanced sideways, and just about to get angry, Pearl hurriedly dragged and dragged Baoqin out.After reaching the door, Zhuzhu said softly: "You are stupid, the old lady's health is not good, you are still crying in front of the old lady, no wonder the second wife scolds you. But then again, why did you go back to the house suddenly Is the eldest girl having a bad time in the palace?"

Baoqin covered her mouth, and after a long time, she nodded slowly.

"Oh, it's all right." Pearl patted Huqin's shoulder, took her own handkerchief and stuffed it into Baoqin's arms, and said, "Don't think too much about it. The affairs of the masters are definitely not something we, a maid, can talk about .You take good care of the eldest girl in the palace. If the second wife has something to say, it will naturally be passed on to the palace and told to you. By the way, what happened to those little maids?"

Pearl refers to those little maids who were sent to the palace at the beginning.

Baoqin shook his head, and his voice gradually became softer: "They were all expelled. Some were released back home, and some were working in the village of Concubine Hui's natal family. I don't want to talk nonsense about things in the palace. .But all in all, life is not going well."

Pearl let out a soft oops, looked up and down holding the piano, and asked repeatedly: "What about you? What's the matter with you?"

Baoqin shook his head and said: "I'm fine. The eldest girl trusts me, so I naturally want to repay her kindness, but after being beaten a few times, I gradually got used to it. On the contrary, the eldest girl... Baoqin suddenly realized that what was standing in front of him was Pearl, so he abruptly stopped the topic.

"Okay." Pearl comforted, "You go back to the palace now, don't make the eldest girl wait in a hurry."

Baoqin bit her lower lip, and after a long time, she nodded and said: "You are in the mansion, you should take good care of the old lady."

Pearl smiled and said, "Understood, let's go back quickly."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang from inside, which seemed to be Mrs. Wang yelling sharply: "What did you say? That girl came back from the south, and asked the Empress Dowager to invite Daiyu to the palace to reminisce about the old days?  … ... Huh, it was a waste of my thoughts. Go to the palace and ask again, what is the situation of that girl now, but is there any use for her? If it is useful, let Yuan Chun win her over again. It's really a pity that the master of Erbajing doesn't make good use of her."

Jiang Ling on the roof froze slightly when he heard this.

It seems that the "that girl" in Mrs. Wang's mouth refers to herself?

For a moment, the three people outside looked into the hall together, and heard someone inside persuade: "Your brother and sister are wrong. Earlier, the eldest girl and Baoqin were in the palace, didn't they try to win her over? But in the end, people She didn't pay much attention to the Rongguo Mansion at all. Her father was an official of the frontiers, and her talent was also top-notch. Even if our eldest girl is in the palace, she is first-class from head to toe, but she doesn't need it. You listen to the eldest girl in everything. Brother and sister, what do you think?"

There was no sound for a while.

Sitting on the eaves, Jiang Ling smiled softly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

After a long time, I heard Mrs. Wang's voice from inside: "You, you don't know anything. How would you know, that girl is originally..." The voice stopped suddenly.

Mrs. Xing's voice came from inside again: "I don't know what?"

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing." When they brought Jiang Ling into the palace, they had already wiped away all traces. It's common sense that Mrs. Xing didn't know.The less people know about this, the better.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang continued: "That girl is very slippery. No matter what I do, I can't pry her away. You all know the current situation in the mansion. If this continues , within three to five years, there will be no more empty shells in the mansion. In my opinion, we should start with Miss Lin."

Hearing this, Jiang Ling was secretly startled and almost slipped off the eaves.

Another strange voice came from inside: "Is it appropriate to do this?"

Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Daiyu is the old lady's best friend. Isn't Baoyu the old lady's best friend? For the sake of Rong and Ning's two houses, let's walk through the door of King Beijing, what do you say?" It’s not an exaggeration. Last time I asked you to send Yingchun to the palace to accompany Daiyu, how did you go? I heard that the son of Prince Nan’an is very close to King Beijing.”

If there is another serious princess in Jia's mansion, then he will have some confidence again.

Mrs. Xing's voice came from inside again: "I don't know about that. Second Grandma Bao might know."

So Mrs. Wang asked Xue Baochai again what happened last time.Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Xiaoxie doesn't know the world, I tried her many times last time, but she looked ignorant. If Xieyiao doesn't let go, we can't send the second sister there. Now I just hope that when I go to the palace tomorrow and see Eldest Sister, I will try to talk to her again."

As soon as the words fell, there was another rough coughing sound from Rongxi Hall.

"old lady!……"

"Grandma, please slow down..."

"Pearl, come in quickly!..."

Pearl and Baoqin looked at each other, Pearl pushed Baoqin, and signaled her to go back to the palace quickly, and she let out a high-pitched "Hey", and hurried to Rongxi Hall.Baoqin stood outside the hall and watched for a while, biting her lower lip, and after a while there was a row of deep teeth marks.

Jiang Ling sat on the eaves, tapped lightly on the branches with two fingers, and the dream was shattered.

Baoqin woke up with a start in Jia Yuanchun's palace, her inner clothes soaked in cold sweat.

Everyone in Jia's mansion also woke up one by one, thinking that they had a nightmare.Li Wan and Jia Tanchun bid farewell and left, as did Mrs. Xing.Mrs. Wang gave Xue Baochai a few words, and with a livid face, she left Rongxi Hall.Only Jia Huan, who had just shrunk under the table, poked his head out, looked around, and left in a hurry.

Pearl and Xue Baochai were serving Mother Jia in Rongxi Hall, but neither of them spoke.

As for Jia's mother, she was still sleeping deeply on the soft couch and hadn't woken up so far.

Jiang Ling also slowly opened his eyes, hugged the quilt and sat up, breaking out in a cold sweat.
