Red House Reorganization Family

Jiang Wen remembered that the classmate Yu Tianyi mentioned was Tang Gaoyi, and his father was the seventh-rank master of the Taipu Temple. Then, in front of him, he called the housekeeper over to check whether the family was suitable for marriage.

Yu Tianyi thanked him again, and then hesitantly said: "Tianyi doesn't know whether he should bother you with this matter, but today the servants of the Rongguo Mansion asked for a long vacation with Mr., saying that Mr. Jia is ill..."

"Long vacation?"

"Yes, I asked and said that I would ask for ten days first, and if the condition does not improve, I will ask someone to come over again."

Jiang Wen really didn't hear about this, and I didn't see anyone from Jia's family come to say anything. If it's true, logically speaking, it shouldn't be... There must be something wrong with their family, it must have been spread early. ...

However, considering how precious the Jia family was to Jia Baoyu, it must not be a big deal, so they nodded and let Yu Tianyi go back first.

When Lin Chen came back at night, Jiang Wen told him that they had a good relationship after all, and if he was really sick, he had to go and have a look.

Lin Daiyu was also a little worried. Her elder brother, Xiu Mu, would not be able to spare time to go to Rongguo Mansion two days later, so she wanted to send someone to Jia's house to inquire first, to confirm the situation, so that she could feel relieved.

Jiang Wen didn't stop him either, and asked her to send someone there the next day. When the servant came back, he said that he hadn't seen Jia Baoyu, and the servant of Jia's family told him that he was ill, but it was not a serious illness.

Then when Lin Chen was taking a rest, he went to Jia's house and met Jia Baoyu directly. He was indeed ill, but rather than a physical illness, the sadness on his face was more serious. Lin Chen was surprised.

"Brother Lin..."

Jia Baoyu smiled when he saw Lin Chen, but he was not as happy as before, and there was still sadness in his eyes.

Lin Chen frowned, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?"

Jia Baoyu just shook his head with a wry smile, not wanting to say anything.

There are quite a few maids serving in this room, and one of the maids standing closest to Baoyu with a long face said worriedly: "Mr. Lin, please persuade our second master, his medicine is not good to drink. How can it be better?" As she spoke, tears were about to fall...

When Lin Chen heard this, he looked at Jia Baoyu disapprovingly: "How can you not drink medicine when you are sick?"

It's not just that he didn't take his medicine properly, Jia Baoyu didn't even eat enough food, and he was feeling weak leaning against the bedpost at this moment, so he didn't answer Lin Chen's words first, but looked at the servant girl: "Xi Ren, take them with you first." Go out, I'll talk to Brother Lin."

Xiren looked at him worriedly, but he also hoped that Mr. Lin could enlighten the second master, so he didn't say much, and obediently led a group of little maids out.

Lin Chen's eyes were sharp, and he could tell at a glance that the relationship between Baoyu and the maid was unusual, but at this time he was not interested in meddling in other matters, so he just asked him: "Is there anything more important than your own body that makes you feel better? Hurt yourself so much?"

Jia Baoyu's tears fell from his eyes, and he hammered his chest with his hands, crying, "Brother Lin, my heart hurts!"

Lin Chen moved his finger, but seeing Baoyu's movement was weak, he probably wouldn't hurt himself, so he didn't move, just looked at him worriedly, "Tell me what you have, it's better than you alone Some."

"Brother Lin, I really envy you..." It's not just envy, even admiration, originally he thought that if he worked hard, he would be like Brother Lin, but he couldn't...

Jia Baoyu covered his eyes and buried his head between his legs, his voice came out indistinctly: "I know I am useless, but I have never realized my uselessness so deeply..."

Lin Chen disagreed with his evaluation of himself, and said categorically, "That's not the case."

Jia Baoyu shook his head, "No... No... I can't even protect the maid who served me since childhood..."

With his current mood, Lin Chen couldn't insist on hearing something from him, but he didn't know anything, and couldn't persuade him, so he got up temporarily, opened the door and walked out.

Xiren and the others were guarding the door, and when they saw Mr. Lin coming out, they all stepped forward worriedly.

Lin Chen took a step back to distance himself, and then asked the maid named Xi Ren what happened to Baoyu.Xiren hesitated for a moment, but he didn't hide it from him after all, and slowly told the whole story.

A few days ago, Jia Zheng came to Baoyu suddenly. He happened to see Baoyu laughing with the maid again, and he didn't care about it, so he reprimanded him for "not doing his job properly".

But Baoyu had always been a little timid in front of his father, and didn't dare to distinguish anything, so he could only suffer this insult.But not long after Jia Zheng left, Mrs. Wang found out about this and took away all the three maids who were in the house at that time.

Baoyu wanted to intercede, but Mrs. Wang still ignored her. He begged hard, thinking that he was being led astray by those maids, so he disobeyed his elders so much. Originally, he just wanted to teach him a lesson, so he just beat everyone up and threw them there to live on their own. self-destruct.

How could these delicate maids of the Jia family bear such a punishment? One of them had a high fever that night, and when Baoyu knew about it, she was unconscious, and passed away not long after.

For the remaining two, he went to ask for a doctor, but before he was happy that their injuries were not serious, he learned that they were kicked out of Jia's house by his mother. He didn't know who they were. Where did he go, but with such a serious injury on his body, the end can be imagined...

Baoyu had been holding back before, but now she fell over and developed a high fever not long after. Before Lin Chen came, everyone was a little confused, and anyone who talked to him would ignore him.

Lin Chen didn't expect that Baoyu's so-called "can't protect" actually meant this. Baoyu has always been soft-hearted and kind-hearted.

And even if Baoyu really made fun of the servant girl, a little punishment would be enough, such a heavy punishment is like treating human life like nothing!

"Is it true that those two maids have no news at all?"

When Xiren heard this, there was some struggle in his expression, they are just slaves, naturally they dare not take care of the person punished by their master, but they are not completely unaware.

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn't understand why, and continued to ask: "You also know what your second master looks like, just tell me, I'll send someone to check how they are doing now."

Xiren was still hesitant to speak, but a little maidservant at the back didn't care so much, she pointed at Lin Chen, and said bluntly: "Your maidservant knows..."

After Lin Chen heard this, he nodded at the little maid, and when he returned to Baoyu's room, he saw that he was still in the same posture as before, and he didn't say that he was going to check to see if the two maids were still alive. Wouldn't it be more sad for him to be happy for nothing?

So I just persuaded in a low voice: "There are always things that people can't do. You are indeed at fault, but the fault is that something happened and you didn't try to solve it. If you go to your grandmother early, you will send someone to come to me for help." , maybe it won’t become what it is now..."

Lin Chen couldn't see Jia Baoyu's face, but his shoulders couldn't stop trembling. He sighed, patted his shoulder twice, and continued: "But there are more than a few maidservants around you. Think about them too..."

Although Lin Chen disapproved of his being too close to the maid, but Baoyu's temperament was like this, outsiders really couldn't say too much.

After Lin Chen came out of Jia's house, he sent someone to find the two maids.As soon as Lin Daiyu heard that he was coming back, she immediately came to ask Baoyu about her health.

"The body is fine, but the heart is sick..." Then Lin Chen told what he had learned from Xi Ren and another maid.

Lin Daiyu was stunned when she heard that. She knew most of the maids beside Baoyu. After all, in Rongguo, they always followed Baoyu to serve her.

Now that another one has gone, and the other two are still alive or dead, she really can't calm down, "...why is it so serious?"

Lin Chen said very appreciatively: "Although it is true that the punishment is a bit too severe, it is also true that they themselves have fallen into the shoes of others."

After all, it would never happen in the Lin family that the maid and the master were laughing and fighting, so the maid beside Jia Baoyu must not be wronged.

And Lin Daiyu went to Rongguo Mansion more often, and often heard Tanchun and Xichun talk about some things, so after listening to her brother, she guessed that the second uncle and second aunt would be like this, maybe it was related to the disturbance in their house, But the matter between the elders involves the next generation, which always makes people feel too lacking in the appearance of the elders...

Shaking her head and not thinking about those things, Lin Daiyu asked: "Then when will we hear about those two maids?"

"I have already sent people to go, I told the servants, if they are still alive, immediately ask a doctor to treat them." But if they are gone, it doesn't matter where to throw them...

Lin Daiyu waited a little anxiously, but fortunately the boy came back to report the news, although one of them was seriously ill, but at least both of them were still alive, and the doctor had tried his best to treat them.

This can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune, and when the serious problem has stabilized one day later, Lin Daiyu is fortunate that she can no longer stay at home. On the one hand, she wants to send a letter to Baoyu, and on the other hand, she is worried about her grandmother. So I told my mother and went to Rongguo Mansion in a carriage.
