Chapter 205 The rumors of Yuanchun, the actions of the Xue family
"Old lady, it's not good, the imperial concubine has died!"
"What did you say? Uh~~"
"Old lady, old lady~~"
When Jia Mu suddenly heard the news that Yuanchun had died, she didn't breathe in a breath and fainted directly. This news was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Jia family.
The Jia family also planned to let Yuanchun in the palace walk around for them and ask the emperor for a love affair.
Unexpectedly, at this urgent moment, this bad news came.
The originally beautiful and charming crabapple flowers in Duke Rong's mansion now seem to be covered with a layer of haze, becoming dead, as if they are wilted.
"My son! Why did you leave so early?"
After learning about this, the Jia family all looked sad and heartbroken. They didn’t know whether they were sincerely feeling sad for Yuanchun’s passing or because they had lost a strong backer. Of course, this is also a matter of personal opinion.
When Aunt Xue heard this in Lixiang Garden, she came to Mrs. Wang’s place in person and comforted her sister.
When she really confirmed that the matter was true, her heart suddenly felt a sudden slap in her heart, and she suddenly remembered what her daughter had told her before.
He couldn't help but think to himself: "Is Chengtian's family really interesting? What should they do?"
Since I had some worries in my heart, Aunt Xue naturally couldn't sit still, so she found an excuse and fled.
But this time she did not go back to her yard, but went to Hengwu Courtyard, which is Baochai's yard.
Unexpectedly, she heard Baoqin's crying before she even entered the door, "Sister, why do you think I'm so miserable? A good marriage, their family gave up without even a reason, how can I see people in the future!"
Aunt Xue was shocked. Baoqin had a marriage, she knew about it. Why did she hear this little girl say that the other party has broken off the engagement now?
"My son, what's going on?"
Aunt Xue pushed the door and looked at Baoqin who was crying beside Baochai. Aunt Xue asked anxiously.
"I heard from my brother Xue Ke that the Mei Hanlin family didn't know what was going on, so they actually sent Mr. Mei to personally dissolve the marriage, and said bluntly that the two families have been broken down from now on!"
Aunt Xue's face changed and she said angrily: "The Mei family is a scholarly family. How could it do such a despicable thing? I must ask the old lady of the Mei family what our Qin'er did wrong, so that they would ruin this God-given marriage so much!"
"Auntie, why is my life so miserable!"
"Be good, good boy, don't cry first. The Mei family breaks the engagement, that's because they don't know anything. Our Baoqin is a top-notch figure, so we don't have the same knowledge as those poor scholars!"
Seeing Baoqin crying sadly, Aunt Xue took her into her arms and comforted her softly.
......
When the little girl Baoqin was tired of crying, she fell asleep.
Aunt Xue pulled Baochai into the yard and said to her with a serious expression: "My son just received a message from the palace saying that the imperial concubine had died!"
Baochai sighed when she heard her mother's words, "No wonder Brother Xue Ke said in the morning that the Mei family was very strange, with a trace of clean look! The reason is that it is here!"
Aunt Xue’s face was quite uncomfortable. She had been insisting before and not moving out. Now she felt even more sad when she heard Baochai’s words, “My son, what do you mean?”
"The emperor has investigated the rebellion of the prince, and it is not known how many people have been investigated openly and secretly. If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that most of these people belong to the big family of poetry, books, hairpins and hairpins, so what is the difference between them and the mansion!"
"In other words, the passing of the imperial concubine is a signal that the emperor wants to deal with the Jia family. Even the gentleman who is upright will be afraid of facing the rolling head. The Mei family may be afraid of being vented by the emperor! That's why the marriage was broken!"
Aunt Xue suddenly became silent.
Baochai's words straightened things up very well, but it was not the entire reason for the Mei family to break the engagement. In fact, there was another person in it, and Baochai would never think of someone.
After a while, Aunt Xue seemed to have thought of something and said anxiously: "My son, let's leave quickly too! Our family can't stand the tossing!"
Seeing Aunt Xue’s shocked look, Baochai smiled bitterly, “Mother, leave now, what do you want outsiders to say to us!”
"Then you can't wait to die here! You can clean up first, I'll talk about it in the mansion!"
At the critical moment of life and death, Aunt Xue doesn’t care about those things. If her own life cannot be saved, let those gossips go to see the Buddha!
......
Standing in front of the locked gate, Jia Baoyu's eyes gradually became dull. Seeing the woman coming to sweep, Jia Baoyu asked, "Where are the people here?"
"Second Master, I'm asking Aunt Xue's house, right?"
"Yes, yes, where are they?"
"I heard that I moved out yesterday afternoon and I left very quickly!"
"Oh, I'm leaving, Sister Lin, I'm leaving, Xiangyun is not coming anymore. Sister Feng, Ping'er is leaving, Miss Miaoyu is leaving, and now even Sister Bao and Sister Qin are leaving!"
"Why are everyone leaving in the blink of an eye? What's wrong?"
When Jia Baoyu saw this situation, the scene where the sisters in the yard gathered with him to play seemed to be vivid in my mind, but in a blink of an eye, the building was empty and I could never see it again. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel bored, so he started to wander around the garden.
Before he knew it, he arrived at Ouxiangxie where Xichun used to live, but unfortunately it was empty now.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the yard, and the sound was extremely pleasant. In the quiet environment, it made people feel numb. Jia Baoyu's eyes moved and he lit up his feet and walked over quietly, without feeling any fear at all.
"Ah! Sister, you lost!"
"Yes, yes, good sister, if you win, won't you win?"
"Hmph, what does it mean that I won? It's clear that you were careless and you didn't have a move. I've beaten you seriously!"
Jia Baoyu felt familiar when he heard the sound. He lay down by the door and listened for a while. After a long time, he remembered whose voice was this.
Isn’t it the second sister or the fourth sister?
So Jia Baoyu knocked on the door hard, "Second sister, are you inside? Open the door quickly! I am Baoyu!"
The two of them seemed to be shocked by Jia Baoyu, and there was no sound at all.
When Jia Baoyu heard the sound, he was immediately anxious. At this time, he was no longer afraid of his fourth sister, so he kept knocking on her.
"Second Master, Second Master, what are you doing? There has been a long time since no one has lived in this yard! Look, the door is locked!"
Jia Baoyu wanted to refute, but he didn't want to lower his head and saw a huge iron lock lying across the door nose, covered with dust. It seemed that he hadn't cleaned it for a long time.
But just now, he clearly heard the two sisters playing chess and joking! How could this be possible!
Touching the cold iron lock, Jia Baoyu shivered. Did he encounter something unclean just now? When he thought of this, he would not dare to stay here. He ran away and disappeared.
"Little sister, I have said it. I want you to whisper a little bit. Look, if it weren't for the Sixth Sister-in-law outside, it wouldn't be a mess!"
"I might be fine! Maybe the second brother has been scared away long ago!"
