Chapter 41 The Red Chamber (41)(1/2)
&1t;script>Red Building 41
Wang Xifeng came back from Lin's house, and Ping'er quickly came to serve.
"I said you just have to do your business, and Xiaohong will be here. Come here and do whatever you want." Wang Xifeng took the hot handkerchief handed by Ping'er, wiped her face and said.
"There is no reason why grandma works hard, but I am on the side." Ping'er naturally realized that Wang Xifeng was not as close to her as before, but was more attentive and petty than before.
"Your hoof is now like this, will you be in front of me?" Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that I love visiting my family now. But there are some specialties in visiting my family. Why is the old lady and the wife are so careless and let me do this? It's not that I rely on me to contact the Lin family. The family affairs are just a little bit, and you just take care of it. The most important thing now is outside. If you are too careful, you will humiliate my friendship with you in vain."
Ping'er was stunned and smiled and said, "I'm so worried. But I really have something to ask my grandma today."
"Tell me." Wang Xifeng leaned toward the couch and said, "You can just make the decision on this matter at home. Don't there be any examples? You can't make mistakes when doing it."
"If there is a case, I won't be difficult." Ping'er sighed, "I don't know what the old lady was thinking, so she took Miss Yun over. She said that since she was engaged, she should learn some principles of being a wife. She wanted to bring her own upbringing. She was so angry that the two wives from the Shi family were not showing up. She just beat an old lady to deal with it. Now she was brought in, but the old lady didn't arrange it in her yard. She said that Miss Yun was learning rules in the Shi family, so she first asked to live in the garden and loosely. She went to me and asked me to clean up the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. The original things in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion were useful, but if you want to live in, how can you clean up? Grandma said."
"How can I say this? She can't move away no matter how many things I give her. Just put them in. If she is worried that it will be damaged accidentally, then there is no need to worry. Apart from the living ancestors of Baoyu's house, there are no one who doesn't care about things. I heard Qingwen tearing up several good fans. I don't care about it like this. If you don't care about it, please remind her to restrain herself. The best fruit growing on the branches is always the first to be pecked by birds." Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and said in a mess. He asked again: "Or just go and ask Yun Yatou, maybe she doesn't want to move in."
"Where is there to ask? Miss Yun has now taken the girl happily. In addition, with Miss Bao's house, no matter how she cleans up Miss Yun, it is conspicuous. Miss Bao's side is empty like a snow cave." Ping'er said. She was not just afraid that the relatives of the two families would not be treated in the same way. At least they should be more beautiful. Don't just be biased from the Shi family. It doesn't matter if you offend the Xue family, but you are afraid that your wife will think too much.
Wang Xifeng frowned and thought to herself: This girl Yun has been engaged, why is she still so reckless? Seeing that Ping'er was still waiting for her reply, she said: "What's the difficulty? You just want to open a warehouse and ask the girls all the time. Those things are in vain. If you use them, what can you do?"
Ping'er thought to herself, without the consent of the ***, a girl with a key was able to do what she could do. Seeing Wang Xifeng's words, she responded. She turned around and asked again, "Miss Lin is so good."
"It seems that the symptoms of the girl's family are the first one, so it's a little uncomfortable. It doesn't matter." Wang Xifeng was a little confused. After leaving the door, she became sleepy.
Ping'er was about to turn around and retreat, but suddenly remembered something and said, "Grandma has not changed many days. It shouldn't be..."
Wang Xifeng suddenly opened her eyes. She had been busy all these days and had really forgotten about this.
"That girl Xiaohong is capable, but she belongs to every child, so how can she know about it?" Ping'er saw Wang Xifeng's appearance and knew that she was inseparable.
Xiaohong came out of the inner room and said, "It's going to be two months. It's OK to be wrong."
"This is a happy event." Ping'er was really happy. She was under great pressure these days. She was polite to her aunt for her offspring. Many people were chewing behind her back, saying that she was not a person. The child was not pregnant, but he grabbed the power in his hands and refused to let go. Whenever he thought of these things, how could he not feel so upset? "I'll ask someone to invite the doctor."
"Stop." Wang Xifeng suddenly called Ping'er, "Don't make a fuss. Just ask Xiaohong to go to the Lin family and ask Miss Lin to invite a doctor who is commonly used by the Lin family. Now, I will not believe anyone except her and you."
Ping'er was stunned for a moment. Grandma was suspicious of who she was.
When Xiaohong saw the curtain move, she immediately winked at Wang Xifeng. The girls outside looked loose, but they were all Xiaohong who specially found it and transferred it. She kept the room tightly. When the curtain moves, it proves that Jia Lian is back. It should be eavesdropping outside.
Wang Xifeng's after-light scanned the curtain and said to Ping'er, "You don't think about how my mother-in-law got there. Our second master also has a relative brother who died when he was five or six years old. He died in the water. He was all girls and mothers in this family. He couldn't bear to see a child. How did the second master get to the second house and get a tutor? The matter here can't stand it. The left and right are just the big house to get a title. This is the root cause of harming people. But how can I say this? I was pregnant with my grandfather at the time.
When I was a sister, it was always very smooth. It was not difficult to have a child. Why didn’t I get well treated for so many years? I never got pregnant. I always think of these things, but my master is afraid that I can’t think of this level. Even if I say it, he is more confident that my second aunt, my dear aunt, may have been led by someone and committed a fatal matter, and then the title will really run away. How could I not be discouraged when I think of these things? If I were lucky, I would really have a brother in my stomach. We all have to rely on it."
Ping'er's face was scared without any blood. Xiaohong looked frightened, but she felt that her breasts said this to scare the people outside the door.
Sure enough, Jia Lian lifted the curtain with a blue face and said, "What's the reason for those words just now?"
Wang Xifeng covered her chest with a frightened look: "When will I come back? What are you doing sneakily in your own house? I was shocked."
Ping'er came to her senses and continued, "Second Master at least speaks in a low voice. If you don't say anything else, just don't be shocked by the brother in grandma's belly."
Jia Lian then turned his gaze on Wang Xifeng's stomach and came back to his senses. "It's good if you have it. Since you are worried, just ask someone to go to the Lin family."
Xiaohong immediately responded and turned around and went out. Jia Lian then said, "What are you talking about just now."
"What's there? It's just that I've thought more." Wang Xifeng turned his face and refused to admit it. How can he admit these words without proof? If he provokes this person's temperament, he dare not ignore the trouble. As long as he has such a mark and doubt in his heart, it will be done. He can always be alert to him, don't do anything fatal, and save the risk of being caught. When the family is ruined in the future, don't get into trouble with yourself and your children.
The calmer Wang Xifeng was, the more Jia Lian muttered in his heart. He said, "Stop saying this. I'm asking me to hear it today. If someone else hears it, it would be a death."
"I understand. I won't leave the yard in the future. No matter how much it is going to be upside down outside, I will just give birth to the child first." Wang Xifeng said, then looked at Ping'er and said, "I know that everything in this family says, and you have suffered a lot of grievances. You have suffered all this grievances for me and your second master. I remember your affection in my heart."
Ping'er's eyes turned red, "What did grandma say? It hurts and prospers. If you don't say this, you will become alive."
Although Jia Lian was thinking about Wang Xifeng's words just now, when he saw his wife and concubines and beauty, he thought about the other people's fights, and he felt a little satisfied.
When Lin Yutong saw Xiaohong, she realized that Wang Xifeng might be pregnant. Thinking of the original work, Wang Xifeng did have one, but unfortunately she had an abortion. It is said that she was just a kid. Seeing her so cautious, she smiled and said, "Go back. I will beat someone and ask the doctor to send it over. She said she was going to show it to your grandma and take care of her body."
Xiaohong was immediately overjoyed. Anyway, her grandmother was in a hurry to have a child, and everyone knew. After begging the Lin family to find a doctor to take care of her, no one would have doubted her. At that time, she happened to be diagnosed with pregnancy, so who could say nothing. She saved others from feeling that she had a happy pulse and begged the Lin family to make a big fuss. If there was really someone who harmed others, it would make the other party suspicious. This girl Lin really thought of her grandmother. No wonder her grandmother only had sex with her. So she knelt down immediately and kowtowed sincerely.
Lin Yutong asked someone to help her up. Seeing that the girl's forehead had already been blue, she said, "What a good girl with a solid heart. I will serve your grandma well. I will benefit you in the future." Then he found external medicine for her and asked someone to send her out.
Xiaohong entered the door and said Lin Yutong's meaning. Someone reported to the Lin family that the people came with the doctor.
Jia Lian sighed: "This time I have accepted the love of the Lin family."
After sighing, he quickly invited the doctor in. It turned out to be a happy pulse. It has been more than two months. Now that Wang Xifeng is in good health, the doctor has only given some precautions. Jia Lian quickly confirmed the time for the follow-up visit with the doctor. This is the opportunity to set the doctor down. This doctor was completely in response to the Lin family's words. Ping'er received another twenty taels of silver for medical treatment. He was considered to have sent the doctor out of the door. Jia Lian was so happy that he didn't know what to do, so he asked: "Do you have to tell the old lady quickly?"
"It should be." Wang Xifeng took over the conversation and smiled: "Master, you can't do it if you go there."
The master is his own father, so he should have gone there himself. Jia Lian didn't respond.
Not to mention how happy Wang Xifeng has achieved his wish over the years. She only said that Jia Lian trotted all the way into Jia Mu's yard.
"Now that he is so big. Why is he still so anxious and anxious?" Jia Mu smiled and said, "What's this for?"
"Old lady, grandson is going to be a father again." Jia Lian reported happily: "I'm here to please the old lady."
"This is a great joy. But Ping'er has it." Jia Mu said angrily: "Then you are not allowed to neglect your wife. Why don't you see her coming with you? Are you jealous again? Call her here, I'll talk about her well."
Jia Lian slapped and said, "It was my grandson who was so happy that he was confused and didn't even say it clearly. The one who was happy was my grandson's daughter-in-law."
Jia Mu was stunned and said, "This is a great joy. Although Ping'er's girl is good, she is not as good as Feng's serious grandmother's belly. You can tell if you just look at Baoyu and Huan'er."
Jia Lian naturally likes legitimate sons even more, but it would be even better if he had a concubine. The legitimate sons cannot be generalized. The Lin family is the illegitimate sons, but who dares to say that it is not good?
Yuanyang felt a chill in his heart. Just looking at the old lady's attitude, you can tell how much she was. She brought the girls to congratulate Jia Lian, and Jia Lian quickly responded happily.
"You go and tell your master and wife first, and ask them to follow Huan and like to Xi." Jia Mu beat Jia Lian, "I'll go and see your wife in a while."
"How dare you work for the old lady? If you don't have any, you will lose your blessings." Jia Lian said politely, then turned around and went out.
As soon as he turned to the front, he saw Jia Zheng sending a familiar man out from afar. He was the chief of Prince Zhongshun's mansion. The chief of Prince Zhongshun's mansion had only heard of it and had not made friends. At this time, he had condescended to the Jia family for some reason. He murmured in his heart, but it was difficult to get up. He just quickly flashed and stood under the corridor, blocked by the old wood, so he avoided it. It was not until the two of them left their sight that Jia Lian turned out and happened to see a master's guest, and he couldn't help but ask the reason why the chief of the man came to the mansion.
"But it was the second treasure hunter who asked someone named Qi Guan." Qingke said, then shook his head and sighed and left quickly.
How could Jia Lian have never heard of Qi Guan’s name? Xue Pan’s fool has been coveting this Qi Guan for a long time. Unexpectedly, this person fell in love with Baoyu. But it’s no wonder that few people look down on Baoyu like this.
However, it wasn't up to me. As soon as I was about to leave, I heard the master scolding Jia Huan.
Then Brother Huan said, "...Baoyu asked Jin Chuan to ask his wife to find out, and beat Jin Chuan instead. Jin Chuan was angry and jumped into the well... her face was as big as a swollen basin, which was scary."
Jia Lian thought to himself: Brother Huan is really a good person to complain. He wanted to go up and explain a few words to Baoyu, but somehow, what Wang Xifeng said before couldn't help but flash into his mind. If he was not qualified to inherit this mansion, who would be the one who could inherit it? Thinking of this, he paused and turned around to report the good news to the master.
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Jia Zheng suddenly became angry. A girl died, but just gave him a hole for venting. It is better to play with a girl at home than to mix with famous actors and actors. The tune is not a big problem for the young master. Whose child has no such thing? This matter is not too embarrassing. Even if it is a crime of "lust and insulting the mother and maid", it can turn around at home. It is not a rare thing for the mother to give her son and maid. But who is Na Qiguan? He doesn't say that he is a prince Zhongshun. Just because he is a man, Jia Zheng felt disgusted. Whoever father knew that his son had these problems behind him and could not be angry. But no matter how angry this matter was, he would not dare to take it out on the surface and shout to kill him. As soon as Jia Huan gave such an excuse.
"You evil!" As soon as Jia Zheng entered the study, he pointed at Baoyu and shouted.
Jia Baoyu was feeling uneasy about the matter of Qi Guan. Now that Jia Zheng was scared, his face became even more ugly.
Jia Zheng was even more uncomfortable in his heart. He had lost his eldest son, and he could read it. No matter how he didn't improve his articles, he scolded him, but when did he really beat him? He shouldn't have such a problem. Now he is over 100 years old, who can he rely on in the future? The more he thinks about Baoyu's failure, the more angry he is. If he doesn't break up this problem, he can't count it. If he doesn't hurt him, he won't know how powerful he is.
Many Qingkes came to persuade him, and Jia Zheng really felt that he had lost all his face for the rest of his life. When he thought of the sad and embarrassed part, he was really crying.
He hit Baoyu with one stick and another. Jia Baoyu's mouth was blocked and he couldn't shout. Everyone saw that he was really beaten hard and wanted to stop him, but Jia Zheng was really angry. He was not willing to follow him. However, there was the clever one, so he quickly sent a letter to Mrs. Wang and the old lady.
It was just a noisy thing, but Mrs. Wang came first. Seeing Baoyu being beaten like this, how could she not feel distressed? She couldn't help crying in front of Jia Zheng again, which made Jia Zheng feel a little softer. However, Li Wan, who came with Jia Mu, felt really uncomfortable. She always mentioned the old man, as if she was attracted to him. Ke Lan'er and herself had never been seen by her parents-in-law. Her mother-in-law had been a year or two and couldn't remember a grandson. Look at how the old lady treats Baoyu, and then how the mother-in-law treats Lan'er. They are both grandparents and grandchildren, so the difference is so big. It can be seen that the crying uncle is not much sincerity. If the old man knew what his son lived in the Jia family, he didn't know what he would do. He cried so sadly, and he looked like a kind mother. However, it was not the old man who cried, but her own misery.
This farce completely suppressed the joy of Wang Xifeng's pregnancy. Not to mention that no one came to congratulate him, even the servants of this family dared not smile on their faces. Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were really depressed. Wang Xifeng was fine, but he had seen through it for a long time. Without expectations, he would not be disappointed. Only Jia Lian was the serious eldest son and grandson, and his wife was pregnant. When he was happy, he poured a basin of cold water on his head. He was completely cold. He said, "Forget it, forgot. We just closed the door and lived our own life seriously."
Otherwise, what else can you expect? Wang Xifeng snorted in her heart and beat Jia Lian, "I can't serve you now, you just go to Ping'er to rest. I just told the outside world that this child is unstable and you have to raise it."
"Nonsense!" Jia Lian scolded: "There is no one who curses himself like this. He has to care about himself, but he has to care about his son." Jia Lian looked at Wang Xifeng's belly as if he had seen a living baby.
"My master, don't do this. This family has to start to tormenting me again. If you don't believe me, try it." Wang Xifeng closed her eyes and said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the girl talking outside. Xiaohong came in and said, "Madam, let's talk about me, let's see when my mother is free, go to the Lin family. The only fragrance of the house is osmanthus and roses. Now the lotus is more relaxing. The second master of Bao must have a bad appetite these two days, and it can be sweeter with this thing. The Lin family must have these things, so it's fine to ask for some."
Jia Lian immediately said angrily: "What is Bao Er Master? Even Bao Tian Wang, it's important that I don't have my son now." As he said that, he was about to get up to ask Wang to refuse.
"Why are you going to have trouble at this time?" Wang Xifeng stopped Jia Lian and ordered Xiaohong, "You only go to Ping'er. I remember the Xianglu given by the Lin family asked her to collect it. I don't like these tricks, it should be useless. Now I find it and send it to my wife, and I will be beaten. What a big deal."
Xiaohong went to answer. Jia Lian said, "I am not capable of it, and I told you to be wronged in this family."
Wang Xifeng felt soft for a moment and said, "What are you doing when you say this? Isn't the master living in the horse siding? We are a junior, and we can make a big fuss. But in the future, the wife will ask the second master to do business, and at least I am very careful. To say something unpleasant, if the empress is really successful, can we get it? Just look at the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony. The Xue family is more beautiful than our big house. You say, we are so beautiful. What are you trying to do? If you don't do it for me in the future, you have to think about the eldest sister and the child in my belly. You have to leave something for your son to pass on it."
Jia Lian left the house in a daze, and the shrew in the family suddenly became a virtuous wife. After such a long period of adaptation, he still didn't adapt well.
Xiren sent off Madam Jia and Wang away, only looking at Baoyu's injuries. He couldn't help but shed tears and said, "Why is this time doing this?"
"It's not caused by sweat scarves." Jia Baoyu was so painful that he wanted to faint, and whispered: "Look, he was hurt so much."
Xiren said angrily: "How can it not be powerful? The skin is full of flesh and blood. It's hot now, so I'm afraid it's not easy to raise." After feeling distressed for a long time, he said: "I knew that he was not a good person. I advised Second Master not to make friends, but Second Master refused to listen."
Seeing that Baoyu was so painful that he couldn't speak, he asked Xiao Si. Mingyan, who was following Baoyu, and said, "Who knows why the news was leaked. Only the uncle of the Xue family knows about this."
Xiren couldn't help but take his anger out in the Xue family. When Xue Baochai came with the pill, she didn't say anything, but she couldn't help but complain: I can take a pill with whatever it takes. Whether it's prepared or brought the prescription, it's easier for people to use the medicine. How can this sudden pill be used? After using it, I can't change other medicines today. What's the point?
Since Xue Baochai had an idea in her heart to marry Baoyu, she would naturally be able to let go of her better than she did when she was away. After looking at Baoyu, her eyes turned red first, "You are so unstoppable now. If you don't listen to others' advice, you will feel sorry for the old lady, but we just look at it..." She paused, her face looked shy, and she could not continue. But this desire to speak was the most touching thing.
Jia Baoyu instantly felt that the pain in his body was reduced a little.
As soon as Shi Xiangyun lifted the curtain, he looked at one of his face and his eyes red. The other looked at him in a daze and smiled, "It seems that I was not the time to come."
The two were disturbed, and Xue Baochai was uncomfortable for a moment, then smiled and said to Shi Xiangyun: "Why can't people understand this?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, it's OK if you understand it in your heart." Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "The second brother is now fulfilling his wish. The whole family of sisters and sisters are all around you."
Jia Baoyu smiled and said, "Why did Sister Yun come? Sit down quickly."
Shi Xiangyun didn't sit down. He just looked at Jia Baoyu's body covered with things, and knew that he was afraid that nothing could be worn inside, so he could no longer be stunned. He smiled and talked a few more times before he pulled Xue Baochai to get up and say goodbye.
Jia Baoyu only felt that it was worth it to get a few tears from his sisters even if he died. He fell asleep in such a daze. In the dream, he heard someone crying softly in his ears. He opened his eyes and saw that it was Lin Meimei crying, but she was not. He was about to speak, but when he saw Lin Meimei's shadow slowly fading away. He felt panicked and suddenly shouted as if he had lost something important: "Sister!"
To be continued...
