I don’t know why, but when he heard Jia Lian’s voice, Xiren, who had just been jealous of Baoyu, broke into a cold sweat.
She was angry with Baoyu today and had been lying on the kang all day. She Yue even brought her lunch to the kang.
Just as he was about to get up from the kang in a hurry, Jia Lian had already entered the outer room, followed by Lin Zhixiao's family.
.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xiren has always worked hard to create a dignified, steady, loyal and diligent image.
She is the most calm, reliable, gentle and polite maid in the Jia family, and no one can find a single fault. Moreover, she has been trying hard to make Mrs. Wang think that she is a stupid, quiet, polite girl who is very honest.
,Never be a monster.
But in fact, just because Xiangyun combed Baoyu's hair, Xiren acted like a monster in Jia Baoyu's room for a whole day.
As for the unpromising Baoyu, who had just entered puberty, he was manipulated by his eldest sister who was six years older than him. The whole day, he was really entangled in the attack, so where could he read and study?
?
At this time, he suddenly heard that Jia Lian was coming. Baoyu also felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Xiren to lie lazily on the kang, so he hurriedly spoke for Xiren:
"Second brother Lian, Xiren is ill, so he has been lying on the kang for the past two days."
.
Only then did Jia Lian realize that this attacker really liked lying on the kang.
When Aunt Li came yesterday, Xiren was lying down.
Today I came to Jiangyunxuan by myself, and Xiren was lying down again.
Good guy, this maid is pretty good at it. I dare you to make money just by lying on the kang every day.
What is this profession?
Jia Lian didn't care at all about this Xiren who looked ordinary but had a high heart.
But what Jia Lian cares about is his cousin Jia Baoyu.
"Sick?"
So Jia Lian turned around and asked Lin Zhixiao's family:
"According to the rules, what should a sick girl do?"
Lin Zhixiao’s family quickly replied:
"When I return to the Second Master, if the maid is sick, the official will pay for the doctor to come and treat her.
When you are sick, you can either send him home to recuperate, or send him to Zhuangzi to recuperate."
Jia Lian nodded when he heard this:
"Then follow the rules and ask the doctor to send her home tonight to recuperate. During the recuperation period, the monthly payment will be deducted.
When the illness is cured, I will report to Second Grandma Lian and come to the house to serve her after she is approved."
.
When Xi Ren heard this, he was so frightened that his face turned yellow.
What if you can’t get back into Baoyu’s room after you go out?
Besides, if another maid takes advantage of this opportunity to climb into Baoyu's bed, wouldn't she be in vain?
So Xiren hurriedly got off the kang and said:
"I'm already fine. I'm fine now. I don't need to go home."
Baoyu was reluctant to leave, so he quickly helped:
"Yes, yes, she has indeed recovered."
Jia Lian frowned:
"Is everything going to be fine so soon?
Our Jia family treats their servants seriously. If you get sick, go back and recuperate. Don’t force yourself."
Xiren waved his hands repeatedly:
"I really don't force myself, everything is really healed, not even the slightest problem is gone.
If I don't serve Baoyu by his side, others are afraid that he won't get used to it."
"Oh? Is everything really fine?" Jia Lian still didn't seem to believe it, "If everything is really fine, just do something and let me see."
While talking, he asked the little girl to bring in a large copper basin and handed it to the attacker.
Xiren quickly took the copper basin, and Jia Lian asked the little girl to pour water into the copper basin.
The little girl immediately took the kettle and poured half a basin of water into the basin. Just as she was about to stop, she heard Jia Lian say calmly:
"Fill it up."
So Xiren had no choice but to carry a copper basin full of water tremblingly, and said to Jia Lian with a smile:
"Second Master Lian, look, am I okay? I can work."
Jia Lian shook his head repeatedly:
"Hey, your body is shaking all the time. I'm afraid you are really sick, or you should go out to recuperate. Don't force it."
Xiren quickly stood up straight:
"I really didn't stagger, it's really okay."
Jia Lian pursed his lips:
"Is everything okay? Then walk around the yard three times with a basin and let me take a look."
Xiren hurriedly stood up straight, carrying a large copper basin of water, and walked around the Jiangyunxuan courtyard three times.
Both of her arms were sore and painful, but she could only endure it, not daring to shake or tremble, for fear of being sent out to "recuperate" by Jia Lian.
.
Baoyu was the most sympathetic person, especially since Xiren was his important classmate in Spring Attack recently. He was already very reluctant to give up, but he didn't dare to offend Jia Lian, so he had to apologize and said with a smile:
"Second brother Lian, Xiren is the most reliable and honest person. She never tells a lie.
Since she said it was fine, it must be fine and there is no need to try again, right?"
Xiren doesn’t tell lies?
Haha.
Then you might as well say "Baochai can tell the truth".
This Baoyu is simply a fool.
So Jia Lian didn't answer Baoyu's words at all, and instead asked with a smile:
"I have something to ask Brother Bao, can it be done?"
Baoyu had no choice but to ask what was going on.
Jia Lian smiled and said:
"I heard that Brother Bao's rouge cream is very good, and he also makes a fragrance powder that can moisturize the skin. I specially want to ask for a recipe this time. I wonder if Brother Bao is willing to give me some advice?"
Baoyu never liked reading. He only liked hanging out with his daughters and made some rouge paste for the girls to use, which made him very happy.
He originally thought that Jia Lian was going to persuade him to study in some academy, but unexpectedly he heard that he was going to make rouge paste, and he immediately became very interested:
"This is easy to say, but it requires some patience and a little more time."
As he spoke, he took Jia Lian to the dressing table outside, opened a Xuanyao porcelain box, which contained a row of ten hosta sticks, picked one up and handed it to Jia Lian, and said with a smile:
"This is not lead powder, this is purple jasmine flower seeds, ground up and mixed with spices.
Ordinary lead powder is green and heavy, astringent and stagnant, how can it be easier to even out and moisturize the skin than this one?"
As he spoke, he poured the powder into his palm. The fruit was light, white, red, fragrant, and beautiful in all four aspects.
Then he proudly picked up a small white jade box, which contained rouge paste like rose paste.
He only focused on explaining the production process to Jia Lian in detail, leaving the matter of pity for Xiren to Java again.
Xiren walked around the yard three times carrying the water basin. When he saw Jia Lian talking about rouge paste with Baoyu, he was about to put down the water basin when he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
It turned out that Jia Lian, who was smiling, glanced at him coldly, and Xiren was so frightened that he quickly picked up the basin filled with water, not daring to put it down even if his arms were almost broken from fatigue.
.
After finally waiting for Jia Lian to leave with a smile on his face, Baoyu walked Baoyu out of the courtyard and came back. Then he remembered Xi Ren and hurriedly chased after him and took the copper basin from Xi Ren's hand.
At this moment, Xiren couldn't care less about the sneer or the weirdness, so he ran into the room, threw himself on the kang, and started crying.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong, my body suddenly became alert, and I quickly got up from the kang again.
