Chapter 40 Baoyu Sends Ice to the Mountain Villa, Qingwen Meets Shi Xiangyun for the First Time

After sending Baochai away, Qingwen and Nanny Zheng found another flowerpot and buried a cold frost flower seed in it.

Looking at the flowerpot, she became lost in thought.

Aunt Zheng said in a panic: "Why don't you water the girl? Does it also want to drink dew? Oh, we don't keep chickens, ducks, fish and birds in the house, living things that need human care, but these flowers and grass don't

It’s really frustrating.”

"No, this flower shouldn't drink dew." Qingwen said thoughtfully.

"That's really thank God, thank you Bodhisattva!"

Aunt Zheng put her hands together and bowed to the sky, but before she could take her hands back, she was choked by Qingwen's words.

"It probably needs ice water."

"Oh my God!" Grandma Zheng immediately shouted, "It's such a hot summer, the dew is gone, where can we get ice water? Can we still go with the old lady every day? She wants to go?"

The frost flower lives in extremely cold places, its body is covered with ice and snow all year round, and its roots are rooted in the frozen soil.

It has adapted to such an environment and temperature. Once it comes to this warm capital city and it is a scorching hot summer, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive.

Qingwen wanted to create a suitable environment for it, so she wanted to water it with ice water.

However, in summer, the girls of the Jia family do not provide ice in their rooms.

The price of ice is extremely high, and if you want to use ice to cool down, it will cost a lot of money.

At this time, the only people in the Jia family were the old lady, the master, and the wife. There was ice in the house.

"Mother Zheng, I'll take Xiaohong out. You and Jiahui will take care of the house at home."

Qingwen said to Aunt Zheng, "Xiaohong and Jiahui are still young and have too little experience. I still have to rely on you for many things in this house."

"Okay, miss, please feel free to go out. I will take care of the house." Aunt Zheng patted her chest and said.

Qingwen took Xiaohong out of the hospital and down the mountain. Xiaohong asked: "Girl, where are we going?"

"Go to Baoyu and ask him to help us get some ice cubes every day."

Qingwen answered and walked quickly, but when she came down the mountain, she was grabbed by Xiaohong.

"Girl, don't you think that's Mr. Bao?" Xiao Hong pointed at the rose stand in front of her.

Qingwen looked closely and saw that it was Baoyu, lying on the flower stand, looking through the hole in the fence.

Qingwen also held the other end of the fence and looked in. She saw a girl squatting under the leafy rose flowers, holding a hairpin with a silk head in her hand, digging into the soil and crying quietly.

Qingwen, who regarded Dream of Red Mansions as a pillow book and read it countless times, remembered it all at once.

This girl is one of the twelve little actors - Ling Guan - bought back from Suzhou by the Jia family in order to welcome the imperial concubine to the royal family.

Because Jia Qiang, a descendant of the Jia family, was responsible for purchasing and taking care of the items after they were bought, some inexplicable feelings arose between Ling Guan and Jia Qiang.

At this time, she was feeling sad about spring and autumn for some reason, so she was drawing the Chinese character "qiang" (qiang) written by Jia Qiang on the ground.

I finished painting one after another, thousands of them have been painted.

The person painting inside was crazy, and the people outside were also crazy. Jia Baoyu's eyes just followed the movement of the hairpin.

Lin Qingwen's anger arose in her heart, and she remembered everything before and after this.

Jia Baoyu had just finished flirting with his mother's personal maid, Jin Chuaner, in Mrs. Wang's room.

When Mrs. Wang found out, Jia Baoyu ran away, leaving Jinchuan'er alone to bear Mrs. Wang's anger.

Mrs. Wang did not blame Baoyu for not knowing how to respect herself, but blamed Jin Chuan'er for seducing her good son, so she drove Jin Chuan'er out of the house.

Later, Jin Chuan'er was so ashamed and angry that she threw herself into the Jia family's well and committed suicide.

Now, this romantic young man who had just gotten into trouble was showing pity and pity on him again.

Qingwen stepped forward and picked up Jia Baoyu, holding him and walking away.

"Be a good man and do what men should do, okay? You just mess around with the maids when you have nothing to do, and you even come here to spy on girls. Are you ashamed?"

"Hey, sister," Jia Baoyu pleaded, "Looking at this situation, that girl must have something big on her mind that she can't express, and she doesn't know how to torture her.

She looks so frail, how can she bear the torment in her heart? It's a pity that I can't give her some of it, so just let me look at her again."

"You have all the time to focus more on Sister Lin, and it's a waste of her love for you." Qingwen said angrily.

"What's wrong with Sister Lin? Is she bad again?" Jia Baoyu was about to run to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

"At the end of the day, you are thinking about this sister and that sister. You are really busy with nothing to do."

Qingwen poked his finger and said angrily, "Sister Lin is fine, I have something to do with you. I found a prescription for Sister Bao to treat heat poisoning, but the introduction of the medicine needs to be fed with ice water. I was just thinking

I asked you to go to my wife's place to get some ice."

Lin Qingwen looked at his expression and saw that his complexion turned from white to blue and then from green to red, then she smiled and said: "What bad thing have you done? Why don't you dare to go to my wife's house for fear of being punished by her? Forget it.

Since it’s Sister Bao’s medicine introduction, I’d better send it back and let her take care of it by herself.”

Jia Baoyu quickly grabbed her and said: "Good sister, please go back and wait. I will send you the ice soon."

Qingwen returned to Tubi Villa and thought that she would not be able to leave the house for the past two days.

Then he called Aunt Zheng over and whispered a few instructions to her.

Grandma Zheng looked confused, but she still hurried out of the yard.

After a while, Baoyu came to deliver ice.

Coming with him was Shi Xiangyun, the most lively and laughing girl in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

"I just went to the old lady's house to get ice. It happened that the old lady picked up Sister Yun to play at home. She said that Sister Congqing became the old lady's granddaughter and she hadn't come to visit her yet, so she came with me.

Baoyu said.

Shi Xiangyun looked Qingwen up and down, bowed down with a smile, and said: "Before, I only thought that my sister was more outstanding than other maids, but nothing else. I didn't expect that she looked more similar to Sister Bao and Sister Lin when she was dressed in this outfit.

We are women like everyone."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Qingwen hurriedly held her hand and helped her sit on the couch together, "What kind of girl am I? I'm just the old lady's pity."

Shi Xiangyun took out his handkerchief and gave it to Qingwen with a purple stone ring.

"Sister Bao, Sister Lin and other sisters all gave it away to me before. Today I have brought yours over too. Sister, wear them to play with, so don't dislike it."

Qingwen took the ring and put it on her hand. She looked at it carefully and said, "It looks good. How could I dislike it? How much the ring is worth is beyond my sister's heart."

When Xiaohong saw this, she immediately took a sachet and brought it over.

"This is the sachet embroidered by our girl, which contains herbs to repel mosquitoes. Other girls have them, but the eldest girl never comes. Now that you are here, you just take it with you. It's not worth anything, either.

My girl’s heart.”

Qingwen glanced at Xiaohong, this girl is really getting more and more into trouble.

He has a keen eye and a lively mind.
