It was also the first time that Baoyu saw Xiren acting so rude. He really couldn't live without Xiren.
This Xiren who is always by my side, during the day, is half like a mother and half like a big sister, taking care of Baoyu and loving him.
With her, Baoyu will have her take care of all the trivial matters.
When he was hungry, he raised his hand, and there were snacks prepared by Xiren; when he was thirsty, he raised his hand, and Xiren had prepared tea; when it was cold, Xiren had already prepared big woolen clothes and charcoal in the hand stove and foot stove; when it was hot, Xiren gave him
He wiped his sweat and used a fan to blow away flies and mosquitoes.
Even when he slept without a quilt and had diarrhea the next day, Baoyu went to Xiren. Then the next day Xiren made him a bellyband that only preschoolers wear. Baoyu himself felt embarrassed and refused to wear it, Xiren
Colorful mandarin ducks playing in the water were embroidered on it. As soon as Baoyu saw this pattern, he immediately put it on and refused to take it off.
And at night, this considerate "big sister" can still accompany him to learn Spring Attack in a gentle and gentle manner.
Baoyu consciously likes Daiyu, but in fact, the only person he can't live without day and night, and the one he vows to live and die with over and over again, is Xiren.
Seeing Jia Lian's cold face, Baoyu didn't dare to speak, but he still knelt on the ground and whined. He was as cowardly as he wanted.
.
Jia Lian looked at it coldly and finally said:
"Xiren, if you don't want to leave, that's fine.
Don't you love lying down? Sheyue, go get a shabby mat, put it at the door of Yihongyuan, and ask Xiren to lie on it until the second watch.
All the maids and ladies in Yihong Courtyard lined up to pass her every half an hour, asking her "Have you had enough lying down?" and asking her to answer one by one.
Also, the maids and mothers-in-law in Yihong Courtyard are serving in and outside the Baoyu House against the rules. No matter who ordered it, no one in your yard will say anything about this breaking of rules.
Come out?
If this is the case, then everyone in this courtyard will deduct all their silver rice for that month as a warning to others.
If you do it again next time, I will send you to Zhuangzi directly. You don’t need to pay attention to this rule there, it suits you.”
Baoyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, but looked at the attacker pitifully.
Jia Lian caught a glimpse of his worthless virtue and put away the folding fan with a "crash" sound, which made Baoyu tremble all over.
Jia Lian looked at this useless snack and couldn't help but squeezed Baoyu again:
"Brother Bao, your Yihongyuan is the most critical place in the Grand View Garden. If something goes wrong here, it will not only be you who will be unlucky, but also the Concubine Xiande.
I think it would be better to close Yihongyuan and let the three of you go to the academy to board. Firstly, it will help you concentrate on your studies. Secondly, having fewer maids and mothers will also save some trouble for the family. How about that?
”
Move out of Yihongyuan?
Going to live in the academy?
From now on, there are no sweet girls around, but all kinds of academic masters who lower their heads and study?
Wouldn’t that kill Baoyu?
Baoyu's legs softened and he knelt down again:
"Brother Lian, please spare me——"
.
"The Cruel God" Jia Lian wandered away.
The "lying god" Xiren lay on a tattered mat at the entrance of Yihongyuan in public.
"Bitch God" Baoyu was lying on the kang in Yihong Courtyard, and it took him a while to recover.
However, Jia Lian finally showed mercy and Baoyu continued to live in Yihong Courtyard. Then he remembered that Xiren was still lying outside. He got up and was about to ask She Yue to bring tea to Xiren when he saw Jia Huan leading four maids.
Four teachers ushered in the nuns.
As soon as he entered the door, Jia Huan said:
"What is this!
The maids in my house, my mother-in-law did not break the rules, but now I am burdened by you and have my monthly salary deducted. How can I say this?"
He had just been beaten by Aunt Zhao. Although Aunt Zhao did not dare to slap him in the face, she still caused a lot of bruises on his body. At this time, he was very angry and took the opportunity to spread it on Baoyu.
"I heard that it was because Brother Bao said that Xiren was the most disciplined in the Yihong Courtyard, which led to the other servants being fined and made them work for nothing for a month. This debt must be borne by Xiren."<
/p>
Jia Huan didn't dare to offend Jia Lian, but now he dared to run against Baoyu.
He said this to the other maids, and when the mother-in-law heard it, they all agreed.
The dozens of servants in Yihong Courtyard all obeyed her orders because Xiren was Baoyu's first maid and she was always good at conduct. Even if there were some irregularities, they would turn a blind eye.
One glance.
Later, everyone found out that Xiren and Baoyu were in a sexual relationship. Baoyu treated Xiren even more differently than everyone else. He became Baoyu's "head of the family", so no one dared to make Xiren unhappy.
As long as she is alone in the Baoyu House, everyone will hide out, who cares about the rules of the Jia family?
Today, Jia Lian taught another lesson to everyone in Yihong Courtyard.
It’s not Xiren’s turn to have the final say in this family.
.
Jia Huan took the opportunity to make such a fuss, and Baoyu had no choice but to give in:
"How about... I use the money to supply everyone, is it possible?"
"No."
When Jia Huan heard this, he immediately turned his face and rushed all the maids and women who followed him to the door. He closed the door with a "桄桔" and said to Baoyu:
"What money do you get? You still owe me money!"
It wasn't until Jia Huan left with his maid and mother-in-law carrying a box of money that Baoyu seemed to have escaped another disaster. He sat on the kang and was slumped.
Unexpectedly, there are people coming and going outside:
"The master calls the second master and asks the second master to quickly change his clothes and go out."
Baoyu, who was already as frightened as a bird, seemed to have been struck by lightning again. He almost collapsed on the ground and shouted in panic:
"Xi Ren, change clothes!"
Seeing that it was She Yue who was holding the clothes, she didn't care anymore. She stepped forward and hurriedly put them on.
.
When Huohuo ran out of the Grand View Garden gate and saw Mingyan waiting in front of the second gate, Baoyu asked urgently:
"What did the master tell me to do?"
Ming leads the way in front of the cigarette butt, urging Baoyu to leave:
"Second Master, hurry up and go out to meet me. Anyway, once we meet, you will know everything. Asking now is just a waste of time."
Baoyu was so flustered that he followed Mingyan through the main courtyard, but didn't go in and headed northwest.
Seeing that he had arrived at the north door adjacent to the west courtyard of Ningguo Mansion, Baoyu stopped and was about to ask again, but suddenly he heard someone laughing in the corner, which startled Baoyu again.
Turning around, it was Xue Pan who clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"If you didn't say it was your uncle who called you, how could you have come out so quickly!"
Mingyan had already received a lot of rewards from Xue Pan, and knowing that Baoyu never had a bad temper, she didn't take Baoyu seriously at all. At this time, she smiled and knelt down, but said nothing.
Baoyu was stunned for a long time before he realized that he had been deceived by Xue Pan.
Xue Pan surrounded Baoyu, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile:
"Good brother, I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I forced Mingyan to lie to you and say it was your father who called you. Don't embarrass him. At worst, you can lie to me again tomorrow and say that my father called me.
That’s it.”
Xue Pan joked with Baoyu about his dead biological father, but Baoyu lost his temper and had to ask him why he was so anxious to find her.
Xue Pan asked Mingyan to stand up for Baoyu, pulled Baoyu, gestured and said with a smile:
"Tomorrow is my birthday. Cheng Rixing from the antique shop bought such a thick, pink and crisp fresh lotus root, such a big watermelon, such a long fresh sturgeon, and such a big Lingcypress tribute from Siam.
Fragrant Siamese pig.
I honored my mother and rushed to give some to you old ladies, uncles and aunts.
I want to eat the leftovers by myself, for fear of losing my fortune. After thinking about it, you are the only one who deserves to eat it besides me, so I invite you here."
While talking, he walked all the way to his study. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhan Guang, Cheng Rixing, Hu Silai and Shan Pinren, all of Jia Zheng's purge guests, waiting there. Xue Pan asked:
"Where is Uncle Feng? Where is Young Master Jiang? Why haven't you arrived yet? Are you not giving Mr. Bao face?"
Baoyu Qidao:
"Which Uncle Feng? Feng Ziying?"
The reason why he felt "strange" was that Feng Ziying was the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang, and Xue Pan was just a merchant and was on the run for a murder case. They were really not the same kind of people.
Xue Pan usually followed Bao Yu, and accidentally met Feng Ziying outside. Feng Ziying, for Bao Yu's sake, became acquainted with Xue Pan. But if Xue Pan, with his embarrassing status, came forward to invite Feng Ziying to his house for a drink, Feng Ziying would definitely not
May come.
Two Hundred and Five Xue Pan chuckled:
"Isn't it him? Who else is Uncle Feng?
I was afraid that he would not come because I was too shameless, so I asked Mingyan to take your name card and send it to his house. I think he should be here soon.
Come on, let’s put the wine on the table first!
Come on, come on, let the little singer sing first!"
