Aunt Zhao was not crazy yet. She knew that she could not afford to offend Mrs. Wang, so she rushed out and said with a smile:
"It's nothing, it's just that Huan'er and I both ate too much chili pepper today, and our voices were a little louder than usual. When we were telling jokes in the room, our voices were a little louder, so we won't talk anymore.
Please don’t worry, madam.”
When she sent the people away and came back into the house, Jia Huan's lips were curled up as if they were worth 258,000 yuan:
"I really admire your ability to be two-faced."
Aunt Zhao waved her hand and said:
"That's all, that's all, my ancestors, Caixia is Caixia, giving you one is better than nothing.
You also said that there will naturally be good girls for you in the future. If you continue to cause trouble, I don’t know what will happen. Everyone above us is a god who cannot be offended, and we are just brats below."<
/p>
When Jia Huan heard this, he had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, in the evening, Jia Zheng came over. Aunt Zhao was in high spirits and attentive in every possible way. By the way, she said many things about Baoyu who had not been studying recently.
.
Baoyu didn't know that someone was shooting a cold arrow behind his back for no reason. Today he saw the graceful Qingwen at Jia Mu's place and liked her very much.
Later, when he saw Qingwen concentrating on embroidery in Yuanyang's room, Baoyu put his face next to her neck and smelled the pink fragrance on her body, just like he always did to Yuanyang. He also saw that her neck was white and greasy, and he couldn't help it.
I want to rub it with my hands.
Qingwen was shocked and slapped Baoyu's hand:
"Be respectful."
Although she now gets preferential treatment from the old lady, she is not yet a member of Jia Lian's house, so it is not easy to use Jia Lian as a shield.
Baoyu was already tired of being with the girls, so he still leaned forward with a playful smile. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Good sister, give me the rouge on your mouth to eat."
Qingwen hid twice, but could not avoid Baoyu's smiling face. She was already annoyed, so she turned around and asked Baoyu:
"Do you really want to eat it?"
Baoyu was overjoyed and kept saying "I want to eat, I want to eat".
So Qingwen stood up and asked Yuanyang:
"Sister Yuanyang, can you lend me the rouge and buy a new one later?"
Yuanyang had long been accustomed to Baoyu's virtues, and thought that Qingwen was too tired of him, so he wanted to rub rouge on him, so he went over and took his rouge box from the table, handed it over and said with a smile:
"My rouge is also made by Second Master Bao, who squeezed out the juice from the best rouge, washed out the residue, mixed it with floral dew and steamed it. It is clean and has a good color. Just pick a little with a hairpin and apply it on
Dissolve it with a little water in the palm of your hand and apply it on your lips. The remaining palm is enough for slapping your cheeks."
Qingwen nodded and said:
"Tell me how to do it later, and I will just make it for my sister as it is. It will definitely be better than this."
As he spoke, he took the box and handed it to Baoyu:
"Eat, there's not a single bit left in this whole box."
Baoyu was stunned and said calmly:
"I want to...eat my sister's mouth..."
Qingwen said coldly:
"I also want to eat the peaches from the peach garden of the Queen Mother in Heaven."
After that, he stopped talking to Baoyu, packed up his embroidery things, said goodbye to Yuanyang and left.
.
When Baoyu was tired of Yuanyang and wanted to eat the rouge on his mouth, he would rub Yuanyang's neck with one hand and directly twist it to stick to Yuanyang's body like candy. He would not come down until the rouge on Yuanyang's mouth was completely eaten.
Just give up.
Yuanyang called Xiren to persuade him, but Xiren circled around Baoyu but could do nothing:
"You won't change even if you try to persuade me from the left, and you won't change even if you try to persuade me from the right. How do you stop my little ancestor?"
At this moment, seeing Baoyu being eaten so hard, Yuanyang couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Amitabha, God has opened his eyes. You, the 'Demon King of the World', have now met the 'Demon-Conquering Heavenly Lord'."
.
Baoyu held a box of rouge in his hand and remained moodless. At night, he lay down early to sleep.
In the outer room, the girl She Yue is chatting with Qiu Wen:
"Have you heard? Today, Aunt Zhao took advantage of the bear's heart and leopard's courage, and actually went to Mistress Lian's house to cause trouble again."
Qiu Wen sighed:
"What an injustice. Second wife Lian has lost her power now. The old lady and the madam don't want to see her. Second master Lian can't even enter her house. A fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken. Even Aunt Zhao dares to make trouble with her.
Was there a mess in the yard?"
"That's not what you said? It's just that, I didn't expect that Second Master Lian's claws were numb, but Second Master Lian was really powerful.
With just one sentence, he rescued the honest girl Caixia from Lai Wanger's unsatisfied son, made her a housekeeper for Mr. Huan, and threw Caiyun away from his wife who stole things from his wife's house. This was considered a cure.
That shameless little hoof."
Qiu Wen suddenly said:
"I'm telling you, I dare you to say that Mr. Huan and Aunt Zhao had such a big fight over there. It turned out to be because they lost Caiyun."
She Yue curled her lips and said:
"Aunt Zhao suffered a big loss this time. She was no longer human inside and outside, but she only took advantage of Caixia's little hoof."
Qiuwen was a little envious in his heart, but he said contemptuously:
"What's so cheap? Don't you take a look at Mr. Huan's character? As soon as Touqianer hooked up with Caiyun, he turned away and ignored Caixia. What a good thing is this?"
Just as I was talking about this, I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.
.
The mother-in-law opened the door and saw Xiao Que, the maid in Aunt Zhao's room. She didn't say anything to her and went straight to the room to look for Baoyu.
Xiren was chatting with Baoyu by the bedside in the inner room. When he saw Xiaoque and asked what was going on, Xiaoque only said to Baoyu:
"I'm here to deliver a message to Mr. Bao. Just now, our grandma told me a lot about Mr. Bao not studying. Please be careful because I will ask you something tomorrow."
Baoyu was struck like five thunders, and everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't even know when the little magpie left.
Afraid of being questioned by Jia Zheng tomorrow, Baoyu had no choice but to put on his clothes and get up to read. But he happened to pick up this book and found that most of it was incomplete. When he picked up that book again, he had forgotten most of it. If he reviewed this book, he might
Tomorrow I will cross-examine that one; if I review that one, I am afraid of refuting this one. I am so anxious that I wish I could eat several piles of books.
.
Baoyu was so anxious that he scratched his heart with a hundred claws when he suddenly heard someone shouting:
"It's amazing, someone jumped off the wall!"
Baoyu was suffering terribly, so he took the opportunity to pretend to be frightened, and ordered people to go to the upper room to get requiem pills to treat his illness.
When Jia's mother heard that Baoyu was so frightened that she felt feverish and unconscious, she was so anxious that she came to see it for herself.
He also ordered the housekeeper Lai Da to bring a group of housekeepers and men and women, light lanterns and torches throughout the house, and conduct an inventory. Not only did they carefully search all the night-time servants, but also the night-time servants on the adjacent garden wall outside the second door.
But nothing was found.
They also asked each room to check their own people and belongings, but everyone said nothing happened.
The next day, Mother Jia was worried. She called Mrs. Lai and his wife in and gave them careful instructions to investigate carefully. Mrs. Lai and his wife lowered their heads respectfully, but glanced at Mrs. Wang furtively.
Mrs. Wang knew in her heart that her niece Baochai was now in charge of inspections in the mansion, so she quickly excused her:
"This matter has been under investigation. Baochai took the child carefully and discovered these things early in the morning. It's just that I have been feeling uncomfortable these days. She has warned the people below her several times alone, and she has gotten better recently."
When Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, Jia Mu didn't want to embarrass her, so she had to give a few instructions and give up for the time being.
.
Later the next day, Concubine Nan'an came to the mansion as a guest. Naturally, Jia Mu wanted to hold a banquet and called Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You and others to accompany her.
After the banquet in the evening, he sent Concubine Nan'an away. You chatted with Jia Mu for a while, and helped take care of the matters of bringing in and out of utensils. She didn't go back to Dongfu until the clock was fixed.
When she came out of the corner door, she saw that the corner door was brightly lit and wide open. Youshi was worried about the fire, so she ordered the little girl to fry beans and call the mother-in-law on the night watch.
When Chao Dou'er entered the class room, there was no one there, so he quickly came back to tell Youshi.
Youshi was shocked. The corner door was wide open and unguarded, and the oil lamps and candles were unguarded. What would happen if there was a break-in or a fire?
