"What did you say? Brother Feng was assassinated? Was he hit by an arrow?" Lin Daiyu stood up with a pale face and her body was shaky. Zijuan quickly supported her.
"Girl, girl, my servant heard this from Baozhu who was next to Grandma Rong. She said she heard Uncle Rong and Grandma Lian mention it when they were talking to Grandma Rong. Grandma Lian's face changed with fright.
I asked Uncle Xiao Rong several times, and Uncle Xiao Rong said that he saw Uncle Feng's shoulder being wrapped in gauze. His face was a bit ugly, but he was in good spirits and said that the injury was not serious..."
"Who wants to assassinate Brother Feng? Have you caught the thief?" Lin Daiyu held the round table with one hand, her eye circles were already red, and her hands and feet were cold.
Zijuan was so panicked that she asked Xueyan to bring Mrs. Tang over and let Daiyu's hands be baked. She also asked Daiyu to put her feet in the fumigation cage to cover her. The girl herself was short of energy and blood, and she needed to keep warm even more in this winter.
.
"Uncle Xiao Rong doesn't know very well. He just said that Uncle Feng doesn't seem to care too much..." Zijuan touched Daiyu's hand and said with some distress: "Girl, don't be anxious. If there is anything from Uncle Feng,
We will definitely send news back as soon as possible about the matter. I will go to the Feng Mansion tomorrow to ask Qingwen to see if there is any news. If there is no news, it should be fine."
"It's not serious?" Daiyu frowned, took out her hand from Tang Pozi, pressed her heart, trying her best to calm herself down, "Zicuckoo, you don't know how dangerous those assassins are, Brother Feng was hit by a bow and arrow.
, Brother Feng is a tough person, he must have endured the pain, I wonder if there are any good doctors in Yongping Mansion? "
The moment she heard the news, her heart almost stopped. Uncle Feng had been assassinated during his trip to the south of the Yangtze River, but there were many people at that time. It was hard to say who was assassinated, but Daiyu could guess.
Most likely it was for Brother Feng. Who made Brother Feng propose the strategy of opening up the sea?
"Girl, the uncle is a colleague now. There will definitely be the best doctor to treat his injury. Don't be too anxious. I am really afraid that you will suddenly fall ill. That will make the uncle anxious and affect him.
The injury has recovered." Zijuan is attentive and knows that her girl cares most about Uncle Feng, and Uncle Feng also cares most about his girl's physical condition. Only this issue can make his girl obedient.
Biting her lip and thinking for a long time, Daiyu seemed to have made a decision, "Zicjuan, do you want me to go to Yongping Mansion to see Brother Feng, okay?"
Zijuan was startled, "Girl, it's freezing cold today. Yongping Mansion is hundreds of miles away from Beijing. How can your body withstand such a bumpy ride? If this trip passes, how can you
Being sick will make Uncle Feng even more anxious and angry, and the two masters are afraid that they won't allow you to travel such a faraway place, right?"
"But if I don't see with my own eyes that Brother Feng is fine, I still can't let go..." Daiyu frowned and bit her lip, holding Zicuckoo with one hand, "Good Zicuckoo, give me an idea, I will definitely
I’m going to Yongping Mansion.”
"But girl, Miss Bao and Miss Bao'er will get married next month, and Uncle Feng will definitely come back by then. You..." Zijuan hesitated. She knew her girl's temperament, and she didn't care much about it at ordinary times, but once
It's hard to change once you've made up your mind, but the weather is so bad now, and my girl is delicate, so it's really easy to get sick if she goes out like this.
Lin Daiyu's face changed slightly, and Zijuan immediately regretted saying this. Didn't this irritate her girl even more?
"I just want to see Brother Feng before he marries Sister Bao." Daiyu's tone was a little cold, "It seems that Hengwuyuan is very lively during this time, right?"
Zicuckoo lowered her head and did not dare to answer.
As the wedding day approaches, Hengwu Garden is indeed a lot more lively. In this garden, in addition to the third girl who often comes here, girls like Yun, Fourth, Xing and even Second Miss also often go to Hengwu Garden and Hong Kong.
The fragrant garden was in full bloom, and Grandma Zhu and Grandma Lian would come over from time to time to send some items. Some helped prepare wedding dresses, some helped embroider some small items, and some helped clean up. They got together to talk, and naturally they wanted to
It's much livelier than the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Even the Second Master Bao, the Third Master Huan and even Brother Lan occasionally go to Hengwu Garden, of course not often. After all, ordinary men are not allowed to enter the Grand View Garden, but the Second Master Bao, the Third Master Huan and Brother Lan
That's a different story.
My girl is a sensitive and attentive person, and she must have observed something when she went back and forth. In addition, the maids in the Rongguo Mansion were not discussing the wedding date of Miss Bao and Miss Bao Er, and their life after marriage, but Miss Bao and Bao Er were not discussing.
The second girl is also very good at getting things done. Some small pieces of money were scattered around, and the servants in the mansion and the garden kept saying good things about Miss Bao and Miss Bao. My own girl must have felt a little uncomfortable hearing this.
If the master hadn't passed away, my girl would have been able to get married this year. Unfortunately, when the master passed away, during the three-year period of filial piety, Miss Bao and the others took the lead.
As soon as Daiyu said this, she felt that she had made a mistake. Sister Bao was about to get married. It was normal for people in the house to be more diligent in the past. Didn't she go there a few times? She and Sister Bao would also be sisters-in-law in the future.
, it seems inappropriate to be so stingy.
Daiyu still didn't have much feelings towards Baochai. Baochai's attitude was always so gentle and generous, but towards Baoqin, Daiyu had an indescribable dislike.
The other party's shrewdness and sharpness made Daiyu feel uncomfortable, but she couldn't find a suitable reason to come. It was just a kind of unharmony.
Feel.
It would be a lie to say that I am not unhappy at all with Baochai marrying Brother Feng first, but it is indeed no one’s fault. No one wants to see his father’s death. When this happens, everyone can only
Accepting her fate, Daiyu had nothing to do, and even Baochai comforted herself, but the second girl Bao seemed to have no feelings at all, and even felt that it was only natural for the two sisters to marry Brother Feng. This kind of indescribable contempt,
This made Daiyu feel a little uncomfortable and even vaguely hostile.
Daiyu even took a look at herself and assessed whether she was too extreme and narrow-minded. But when she realized that she didn't have much dislike for Baochai or Shen Yixiu, but was only somewhat hostile to Xue Baoqin, she felt that maybe it wasn't completely right.
It's your own reason.
But even so, she had to admit that Xue Baoqin's character seemed to be better able to mingle with people in the garden, but she seemed to lack the talent in this area.
Daiyu raised her head and looked outside the door. The cotton curtain covered most of it. Through the gap, she could see the snowy scene outside the house. There was still residual snow on the edge of the stone path. The ground was wet, and in the Qinfang River
The ice has frozen over, but you can still see the flowing stream under the ice.
"How about we call the three girls together?" Daiyu said after a long silence.
"Three girls together?" Zijuan twisted her sweat towel and said hesitantly: "Girl, is this okay?"
Zijuan's rhetorical question made Daiyu hesitate again. Indeed, Tan Yatou is also a big girl. What's the point of going to Yongping under such circumstances?
There is no doubt that Sister Bao is the most suitable person to go with. Unfortunately, Sister Bao is getting married next month, so it is naturally not suitable to go there.
The master and servant were hesitating when they heard the voice of Xue Yan coming from outside the door: "Miss Shi Da is here? The girl is here..."
Daiyu and Zijuan were both a little surprised and stood up. Shi Xiangyun is here?
But Shi Xiangyun rushed in in a hurry. He was breathing in the hot air from a distance, his face was red from the cold, and he was just rubbing his hands. Zijuan was so panicked that he hurriedly asked someone to carry the stove in.
"Girl Yun, aren't you afraid of being cold and don't wear a cloak?" Daiyu is still very close to Xiangyun. Although Xiangyun goes to Hengwuyuan more during this period, this girl is a straightforward person, and Daiyu feels that
I understand, and I don't care.
"Where did you get the cloak?" Xiangyun curled his lips, "Sister Lin, you are a rich man in our house, why not give my little sister a cloak so that she can go out to keep out the cold in this snowy day."
Daiyu looked at Shi Xiangyun in surprise, then stretched out her hand to pinch the embroidered jacket on Shi Xiangyun's body. Although it was not thin, how could it withstand the weather when going out without a hoodie or a cloak? Then she looked at it with a sullen face.
Cuixi followed Shi Xiangyun in, "Cuilu, where's Sister Yun's fox fur cloak? I saw my sister wearing it a few days ago."
Cui Wei hesitated to speak, but Shi Xiangyun took over and said: "Okay, I'm not that delicate, and I'm not like you. I'll get warm after staying in the room for a while..."
Lin Daiyu, however, had a dark face and said reluctantly: "Cuixi, tell the truth, where did Sister Yun's cloak go? This was given to my sister by my ancestors. Could it be that there is a thief in this yard?..."
Cuixi couldn't help it anymore, "Miss Lin, please don't say that, lest someone in the yard will complain behind your back in the future. My girl went back home, and then..."
"Okay, sister, don't ask any more questions. I gave the cloak to my aunt..." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Shi Xiangyun could only tell the truth.
"Why? Your ancestor gave it to you, why would you give it to your aunt? Besides, why would your aunt want this cloak from you?" Lin Daiyu was puzzled.
"Humph, if she didn't want it, why would I give it to her?" Shi Xiangyun showed a smile on his face, "When I go back, I have to listen to the nagging complaints for an hour or two, just talking about how difficult it is at home and how my uncle is not living up to expectations.
There are so many debts owed outside. The debt collectors have been waiting outside the door for several days. My uncle dare not come back..."
"What's going on?" Daiyu saw some tears in Shi Xiangyun's eyes, who was forcing himself to look happy. She didn't know if she was wrong or if Shi Xiangyun was sentimental for a while. In short, he turned around and disappeared.
"It's nothing, it's just that my aunt is short of money and says she can't live anymore. She has been talking about pawning the golden unicorn passed down by my grandfather at home to celebrate the New Year. I don't agree..." Shi Xiangyun raised his head and said leisurely: "Then the only thing I can do is
My tiger skin cloak was pawned."
