[Red Mansions] The big maid struggles daily

Jia Rui was really wronged.He was still confused, Jia Lian suddenly changed his face, pulled him off the bed, and burned the mirror like crazy.

But the mirror was so evil that Jia Rui shivered.One side is a skeleton, but who knows what the other side is, luckily I didn't see it, otherwise Jia Lian might have turned himself into a madman right now.

When Xing'er dragged Jia Rui over to call Jia Lian, he realized that Uncle Rui was so frightened that he lost control of his body and smelled like urine from under his body, he was really a coward.

Jia Lian was panting heavily, and his confidant Tong Long'er who came with him hurriedly let go of Jia Dairu's hand, and rushed forward to give him his breath.

After Jia Lian calmed down a little, he slammed Jia Rui's face with his big fist, making Jia Rui cry, grandpa and grandma begging for mercy, and his face blossomed.

Long'er was afraid of beating the sick Uncle Rui to good or bad, and his own master was not easy to explain, so he went over to stop him, but Xing'er held him back and looked at Dairu with a sneer: "Uncle Rui is not sick, I just saw it His old man's face is pale, and our second master only thinks that he is seriously ill, who knows that he pretends to be ill to deceive our family! The master of the mansion and our second master are still eager to send over precious medicinal materials such as ginseng. He violated the fault of our family and Master Bao. You know people, you know your face, but you don’t know your heart. Uncle Rui is also a scholar. In order to pretend to be sick, he pretends to be an actor, isn’t this an insult to gentleness?"

Dai Ru was first angry because of Jia Lian's sudden attack, and then he was so frightened by the demon mirror that his liver was fighting wildly.Fortunately, Jia Lian was not afraid of burning the demon mirror, so he wanted to talk, and Jia Lian beat up his grandson rudely and arrogantly, tearing up in anger, shaking his fingers to scold Jia Lian.

Unexpectedly, Xing'er's sarcastic remarks made Jia Rui's face off. Dai Ru didn't care about anything else. After a closer look, he first called to his family: "Bring a big stick and a rope! Bring him. !"

Jia Lian sneered again and again when he saw this behavior, and asked Xing'er to wipe his hands with a handkerchief.Seeing that Dai Ru asked someone to push Jia Rui down on the stool and hit him ten times with a large board, Dai Ruyou felt it was too light and scolded: "You disobedient and unfilial bastard threw away my old face! Shut up and kill him!"

The old Confucian wife of a generation was brought in by the servants to rescue the soldiers, and hugged Jia Rui's crying son and daughter-in-law who died early.Jia Lian looked at his teeth sour. When the master beat Baoyu, his wife behaved in the same way. He used to envy Baoyu that his mother loves and protects him, but now he just feels that Dafan is such an unworthy and shameless person, he should be beaten to death. Everyone is clean!These women who only blindly pamper and indulge and threaten others with tears are even more hateful and hateful!

Seeing that the old lady came, the grandfather lost his temper, Xing'er pulled Jia Lian's sleeve, and pointed to Jia Rui's bed furtively.Jia Lian understood that since he was paralyzed on the bed all day and pretended to be sick, he would not be honest. There was something filthy hidden in the tent, and he just turned it out at this time to add fire to the grandfather.

Besides, Jia Lian was also afraid that this dirty thing might belong to another sister Xiao Xiangfeng, so she went to the bed in two steps and lifted the quilt and pillow.

As soon as the quilt was lifted, an indescribable smell came out, which made Jia Lian's face even more gloomy.Jia Rui looked at these things all day long, and sometimes his fingers would get tired when he played with them, so the smell in the quilt was really unpleasant.

From under Jia Rui's pillow, he found the hidden book of eclectic stories. Inside the mattress, there were still pictures of avoiding fire and pictures of secret plays. Jia Lian sneered, but seeing nothing else, he glanced at Xing'er.

Xing'er clicked his tongue, put the book of secret operas with very explicit cover on the top, and quickly presented it to Dairu.

Dai Ru's eyes were about to pop out, he was so angry that he couldn't speak, but his old wife had already helped Jia Rui off the stool, and it was like adding fuel to the fire, grabbing the board, and was about to beat him to death. A well-learned beast.

Jia Dairu used to discipline his grandson very harshly, and he built up a lot of prestige in Jia Rui's place. Jia Rui staggered a few times and fell to his knees on the ground. Dairu kicked him in the chest. Jia Ruifang put his elbow on the ground, and the stick came down.He deserved this catastrophe: his grandfather was old and frail, and the old man was exhausted when he lifted the board. The paulownia wood was heavy, and the raised stick fell according to its own weight, so that he could not die. The stick hit Jia Rui between his legs.

Hearing the screams, Jia Rui's face was really pale, it turned extremely red in an instant, and then turned bruised, and before he could even say a whole sentence, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

The back of Jia Lian's neck felt chilly, and his teeth ached. Seeing that Jia Rui's place was bleeding, he didn't feel his crotch was clamped.

Xing'er swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and whispered cautiously: "Master, shall we?"

Jia Lian covered his cheeks, and immediately scolded: "Idiot, hurry up and ask for a doctor! In broad daylight, there are monsters who come to harm people in evil ways. In order to save his grandson, the grandfather has no choice but to use such a cruel hand!... Oh, my lord, you call Exhale, exhale, sit down... I have sent Yao'er to invite a doctor. Brother Rui was harmed by a monster like this. How can he bear it? I will report to the officials myself! Brother revenge!"

Seeing that nothing happened, Jia Lian ran away in a hurry.

When he came out, Jia Lian rolled his eyes, and took Long'er straight to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to appeal for grievances. The Procuratorate sat down and saw that it was the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion who came to report the case in person. The army commanded the yamen, and the demons who caused chaos were arrested in the whole city.

When returning to Rong Mansion, Xing'er had come back a step earlier. Seeing Jia Lian, he hurried forward and said: "...the old man is in a strong body. Although he was angry for a while, it doesn't matter if the doctor saw it. It's just that Uncle Rui is not very well... ..."

Jia Lian thought in his heart, where he was hit, he was bleeding, can he be cured?

Xing'er clung to his ear and whispered: "The roots of the descendants are all rotten. The doctor said that this kind of injury is not only incurable, but also may die elsewhere. Even the gods will not be able to save his life. The doctor asked the grandfather to give it to Uncle Rui. It is serious to find a skilled knife maker and finish it quickly."

Hearing Jia Lian's straight teeth, he felt angry when he thought about the past, and suddenly smiled and said: "Since that's the case, you can tell your grandma to send 20 taels of packs to the grandfather's house, and then report it and say that I have already reported it." I'm an official, please keep a close eye on the door, lest the Yaodao take advantage of it. Long'er personally went to Fangzhuan Hutong to invite Xiao Dao Liu to come to your door for 'medical treatment' for Uncle Rui, and give him all the six taels of silver that Xiao Dao Liu gave and thank you. Ten taels is fine, don't worry about your grandma asking for the ten taels, I'm here for Brother Rui!"

Jia Dairu's old wife hated her so much that she wailed loudly: "It's really the enemy of the whole life. Not to mention that they caused Rui'er to suffer from a serious illness, but now...now they have killed my grandson... this is the enmity of several lifetimes. Woolen cloth!"

Dai Confucianism is more than ten years old, but it can't be done.After all, he was the one who did it, and besides, he recruited the demon mirror for his grandson, so he couldn't help but burst into tears: "Ah!" It's just that Jia Rui is like this, so he needs more money to support him, and Jia Dairu must not lose his reputation. If not, the clan would definitely not want to entrust his family education to him, let alone have nothing to do.He had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow it, covering up Jia Rui's feigning illness and Jia Lian's beating and rubbing, and only blamed it on the evil ways to harm people.

When Jia Lian went back to show his merits to Sister Feng, Sister Feng suddenly found that this man was reliable, so there was no need to elaborate.It's just that Jia Lian was terrified when he thought of the mirror, and he was sweating all over by burning the mirror and beating people. When he ran out of Dai Confucianism's house, he didn't care to wear a cloak.

No matter how strong Sister Wang Feng was in the past, she saw that Jia Lian had suffered this crime for her own sake, and there was still a witch who had not been caught.Not only did he personally invite the Bodhisattva to worship in the ear room, but he also served Jia Lian diligently every day, without the hands of others.

People who have always been strong and strong often become critically ill when they get sick. Jia Lian had a high fever for two days. Every time he woke up, he would see Sister Feng staying half a step away from the bed. Her eyes were black and her lips were chapped. She was more frightening than this patient. It is said that the daughter-in-law is better than the original match, but I always sneer and don't believe it. On weekdays, I always lament that I have committed crimes against Yashaxing, and I have to overwhelm the man in every way to get a wife.In today's situation, the old saying is really good.

After Jia Lian's enlightenment, although he still couldn't control himself afterwards, he finally didn't want to get it back, and cared about Sister Feng's face.

Usually on the bed, some young daughter-in-laws who are jealous and provocative always want to nip Sister Feng's teeth and say some sour words to attract Jia Lian.When Jia Lian heard this before, it was as if he had died, and he always had to go along with cursing a few words before giving up; but since he recovered from this illness, he refused, and often left in embarrassment, without turning around to look for this person again. gossip.Those girls, daughters-in-law, widows, and widows who were preyed on by him, who didn't think that he was handsome and handsome, and that he was generous with money, were thrown away just for two provocative words, how could they not regret that their intestines were green? .

After a while, everyone in the streets and alleys knew that Jia Lian still respected his first wife no matter how messed around outside.If a man puts on such an appearance, the women in the family will definitely be looked up to.As a result, Sister Feng's reputation improved a lot.

What's more, Sister Feng herself has heard those strange things, and she Ping'er also blames Jia Lian's illness on the demon mirror.After this, Sister Feng, who most disdained the theory of retribution from the underworld, also became awed in his heart.She was in awe, and she acted magnanimously and decently without Ping'er's persuasion.

-

Let’s talk about Zhu Xiu’s side. Mother Jia ordered her to take care of Baoyu’s meals. No matter how unwilling Zhu Nanny and her mother and daughter were to get involved with Phoenix Eggs, Zhu Xiu had to temporarily take over Baoyu’s three meals. Come.

It happened to be the day when Jia Lian was involved in Jia Dai's Confucianism. Ever since Zhu Xiu got up early in the morning, her eyelids were twitching, and her heart was flustered for some reason.She put the emerald pouch on her neck that she put beside her pillow to bask in the moonlight at night, and she felt better.

At noon, Qingwen came over in person, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiu, the second master ate a bowl of the small fresh meat wontons you sent this morning. There are also a few plates of fried radish cakes, salt and pepper peach cakes, maybe My sister made something extra delicate, and he put two pieces into his mouth. Good sister, you just think about it, but what other tricks are there? This little ancestor’s face is sunken in front of him, and we are the only ones watching. I'm very worried."

Zhu Xiu pursed her lips and smiled, this Qingwen is indeed more straightforward, if an attacker comes, she will not say that she is anxious, but will pull out old ladies and wives to suppress them.

"I've worked so hard these days, but I haven't figured out what Bao Erye likes to eat and what he doesn't like. The old lady said that he used to like delicate and sweet meals, or heavy-tasting bad goose palms with wine. I don’t like big meat dishes, but the big kitchen and my side sent them, and I didn’t see how much Bao Erye ate.”

Qingwen frowned and said, "That's what I said. I see that the second master's taste seems to have changed. He likes more meaty and salty ones. Dear sister, just think about it. If you don’t have it at home, or make some fresh snacks like those sold outside, I reckon he would like to eat it.”

Zhu Xiu thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, I'll make a few baskets of meat stuffed wheat braised and shrimp dumplings, and the big kitchen will prepare some salty meat and fresh meat as you said, as well as the ones in your room. Let's send all the regular dishes, and see if Second Master Bao eats it." It doesn't matter if he eats it or not, anyway, not only Mu Ma, but also Daiyu loves these special snacks outside.

Meat stuffed Mai Shao is stuffed with chicken, ham, shiitake mushrooms and seasonal fresh vegetables. The thin skin does not need to be wrapped. When you lift it with your hand, the surroundings are like flowers blooming, and the salty fragrance is tangy.Shrimp dumplings are fresh shrimps brought in from Tongzhou, mixed with minced pork, decorated with a few green winter bamboo shoots, wrapped in almost transparent clear noodles, and served crystal clear and delicious.

As Qingwen watched, the steaming fresh fragrance caused her to lick her lips unconsciously, but she didn't know it, and took out a gold pocket watch the size of a walnut from her bosom to watch, for fear that it would be too late. It's time for Baoyu to eat.

"Hey, is this the pocket watch that my wife gave to Second Master Bao last month?" Qing Jin found it for some reason, saw Qingwen in the kitchen here, and laughed a little.

"Second master is sick, so I can't take it with me for a while, so I will take it to check the time when I come over." Qingwen said hastily.

Qingjin smiled and pulled Zhuxiu out: "I'm going to discuss something with Xiuer. There's no one else to pay attention to since the steamer is all set up. Please look at the stove first, we'll be back soon."

Qingwen just wants to stop people, but Qingjin has pulled out Zhuxiu.This is a separate kitchen next to the back of the big kitchen. There are only two stoves. It is inconvenient to enter and exit because it is not the same door as the big kitchen. , just pack it out.There is no stove cook here, only three or four helpers, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law. Qingwen was afraid that they would steal and spoil Baoyu's meal, so she stomped her feet and had to stay and watch.

That side of Qingjin pulled Zhuxiu to a secluded corner, and before she could ask, she hurriedly said, "Xiao'er, you know my problem! Since I was assigned to the inner courtyard, I haven't committed any crimes, but this morning, I feel flustered again. Uneasy! At that time, when I thought about myself, I was a little flustered, but when I thought about you, I felt more uneasy than myself! Xiu'er, what do you think is going on?"

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and wondered again: "But it's also very strange. This feeling comes and goes. When I got up, I didn't panic anymore. Otherwise, I would have taken leave and came to look for you early! It's not necessarily true if I don't panic. After all, it’s different from usual, as if something happened. Just now when I saw Qingwen, I felt a sudden shock, and I thought about it, it’s not her, could it be... Could it be about the second master Bao? "

Zhu Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Are you really flustered?"

Qing Jin shook her head and said: "It's better than the previous few times, but it's a little bit. If I didn't know about my problem, I would think it was because I didn't sleep well last night or I was hungry at night."

Zhu Xiu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Since that's the case, go back quickly! You stay in the wife's yard, don't go out for a day. Don't worry about me here, I'll go straight back to Miss Lin's yard after I'm done. I don't come out for a day! As for the meals at the other end of the night, I just pack some in the small tea room in Luo Cuiwu, and there are those prepared in the big kitchen, why can't I just get away with it?"

Only then did Qing Jin feel relieved, and went back to Rongxi Hall as agreed.

Qing Jin went here, but Zhu Xiu failed to follow through.

The steamer is made of new bamboo, and it still has a delicate fragrance of bamboo. When Zhu Xiu came back, the Mai Shao and shrimp dumplings were ready. She thought about the feeling of Qing Jin, and she probably should eat here.If Jia Baoyu doesn't eat well, it's because it's not clean or fresh, and she can't tell when the time comes, she thought, took a drawer each, and called Qingwen: "Let's help you guys first." Er Ye taste the saltiness."

He took three drawers out of it and ordered the cook's daughter-in-law: "Take it to the old lady. This basket of river prawns is rare and fresh. It is very worthy of showing respect to the old lady." To respect the old lady is naturally a pair, which is extra The other drawer is for big girls like Yuanyang Hupo, which is what it should mean.

Zhu Xiu also ate a few, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it.Qingwen refused, but picked it up with wooden chopsticks, her eyes lit up as soon as she put it in her mouth, and said with a smile: "There is this at the entrance of the south alley. I ate it once when I didn't come in, but it's not as delicious. Let's Although the food at home is exquisite, it is also eaten, it is not as fresh as this one, the second master will definitely like it."

After finishing speaking, he picked up the four-layer carved food box and left, "It doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Zhu Xiuyi watched her off, this is a girl who really cares about Jia Baoyu...

Distribute the rest of the steamer to other places, and Zhu Xiu herself is full, so she is about to go to Lin Daiyu's Luo Cuiwu right away.

Unexpectedly, Hu Po broke in like crazy, pulled Zhu Xiu and ran away, crying: "Second Master Bao ate something you made, and suddenly rolled his eyes for some reason. The old lady and the wife were all alarmed. There was a lot of trouble, I watched Yuanyang and they sent someone to invite Baoyu's nanny, godmother, doctor... I sneaked here to tell you, you go and defend yourself!..."

Hu Po ran very fast, there was a small path leading directly to Rongqing Hall from the door of the kitchen, unlike the big kitchen, which had to take a detour, and in a short while, it reached the east courtyard of the upper courtyard.

Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were at a loss, Jia Baoyu fell on his back on the kang, his eyes turned white as he grabbed his throat with one hand.The Kang table was overturned, and the agate bowl and crystal saucer fell to the floor.

As soon as she saw Zhu Xiu come in, Mrs. Wang's eyes lit up. If she hadn't cared about Jia Baoyu, she would have rewarded Zhu Xiu when she caught up: "What did you do for him to eat!..."

Zhu Xiu took a look and knew it was choking.Unexpectedly, neither Jia Mu nor Mrs. Wang had raised children in this room, and Jia Baoyu was tired of the old mother, and even the daughter-in-law could not enter this room. Ladies and gentlemen, there is no one who can save people.Maybe some people saw something, but they were timid and didn't want to get into trouble.

Zhu Xiu didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to say any harsh words, she jumped up like a spirit monkey, helped Jia Baoyu up, wrapped her arms around, pressed her fist inwards above Jia Baoyu's navel, and squeezed inward with both hands. pressure.

Before everyone could react, Jia Baoyu vomited out half of the shrimp dumpling with a "burp", coughed several times, and was slowly coming over.

Mrs. Wang stroked her chest, her eyes widened in shock.

Zhu Xiu just came over to salute: "When I was a child, I saw people choking, and I heard from Fang's doctor that if the choking thing is not treated quickly, it will cause trouble if it takes a long time... That's why I'm reckless."

Jia Mu supported Yuanyang's hand and said repeatedly: "Thank you for your blessing! Good boy, get up quickly! Thanks to you..."

Mrs. Wang hugged Jia Baoyu into her arms, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, asked Caiyun to admire the red embroidery, and scolded Xiren Muskyue and others: "You little hoofs! You don't wait for me to eat, gentlemen!" Holding chopsticks and vegetables, it made your father choke! You don’t know if you are choking, if there is not a sensible person here, you will delay your good son!" The children of a rich family are used to chewing slowly. Ms. Wang really didn't think that Baoyu, who was no longer a child, could still choke.

Immediately urgently said: "Please come in, Madam Li, these girls don't take it seriously, and I have to have an old mama who has been watching Baoyu for many years, so I can rest assured."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard the faint sound of the wooden fish Buddha's trumpet, saying something like "Ignore the population, collapse the house, or encounter danger, or be caught by evil spirits, we are good at healing."

Both Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang are very rare. How can they hear this in such a deep house.The two of them glanced at Baoyu who was sleepy, and immediately ordered someone to come in.

But it turned out that this time only the lame Taoist came out of the mountain alone. He gave Jia Rui the Wind and Moon Mirror, and he felt that nothing happened. He just waited three days later to get the treasure mirror.So I went back to the Great Barren Mountain, and sat down on the floor with the scarlet head monk, and only waited for an injustice to be settled first, and Jia Rui's affairs were settled, before the female phoenix could be lured into the trap.

Unexpectedly, the lame Taoist was about to sit down, and suddenly a mouthful of blood spewed out, and he panicked immediately: "Who will destroy Fengyuejian?!"

The scarlet-headed monk helped him up, but he didn't feel good, Fang took out a small broken corner of a stone from his bosom, and looked at it carefully, the broken corner seemed to be entangled in filth, and the spiritual light was dimmed.He couldn't help being terrified, and said: "Not good! Something went wrong with the psychic jade!" The sympathetic psychic jade made the monk feel his blood churn, and he hurriedly suppressed it.

The two supported each other, only double shadows, and disappeared after a few strokes.

Although this psychic jade failed to mend the sky, it also obtained the remaining 49 heavenly stones, and it has a little merit. The scarlet monk and the lame Taoist are closely related to it.The two were supposed to go together, but the lame Taoist's Fengyuejian was destroyed, and he had no other skills, so the scarlet monk had to go alone.

As soon as this monk was invited into the mansion, it was as if the shackles had been opened for him. Neither the young lady in the mansion nor the old lady at the door could catch up and stop him, making him feel like he was in the land of no one. In the east courtyard of Mu Rongqing Hall.

Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and all the maids in the area were so panicked that they all avoided. Jia Mu said, "They are monks and don't pay attention to this. This Bodhisattva is very virtuous. Please take care of my grandson."

The scarlet-headed monk said some mysterious words again, and asked for the psychic jade again.

Jia Mu hurriedly ordered someone to take it from the treasure jade item and hand it to him. He held it in his palm and was about to sing some Buddhist verses, but for some reason he vomited a pool of blood. Yes! Everything is messed up!"

As he spoke, he saw that the monk looked like a star, looking back and forth at everyone in the room.

Zhu Xiu was a little terrified when she heard the Buddha's name, and she had already retreated to the unobtrusive maids.

Seeing that the scarlet-headed monk seemed to be looking for something, her heart jumped even more, but she only imitated Hu Po next to her, and she was just worried and surprised.

The monk's eagle eyes seemed to be full of precious light. When Zhu Xiu looked over, Zhu Xiu only heard a "ding" in his head, "The energy is detected to search the soul, and the merit will automatically protect it."

The author has something to say:

Note: "The population is ignored, the house is dumped, or in danger, or in the presence of evil spirits, we are kind and able to heal." From the original work.
