104. Chapter 104
The affairs of the Jia family are no longer inextricably linked, and there will be an end one day. During this period, the maids of the Jia family came to a big change, but all those who were beautiful and enchanting, or who were too smart, were sent out, especially by Jia Baoyu's side, and now only Musk Yue was left, and Mrs. Wang personally picked a few maids who were honest and generous, and their appearance was insufficient. Although Jia Baoyu didn't like it, he didn't dare to refute it, so he had to lower his head and protest silently.
Jia Baoyu found that the days were not the same as before, not only were the beautiful and lively sisters gone, but he was also moved out of the garden, living next door to the old lady, who came to watch him read whenever he had free time. In the past, my wife was still distressed about her weak body, afraid that she would not be able to bear the suffering, but now she refuses to say a word, and only lets Sister Bao stare at herself every day to take some supplements.
Such a dark day passed for a few months, during which not only no one said good things for themselves, but even the ancestors who had always felt sorry for themselves, although they felt sorry for their weight loss, but they never said that they should not study, but only told people to take supplements for themselves!
It's easy for Ming'er to be Sister Lin's courtesy, and Jia Baoyu thinks that she can relax quickly. He heard the old lady say yesterday that the old lady and the ladies were going. He even prepared a gift for Sister Lin, and it took him more than a month!
Ying'er looked at the light in Jia Baoyu's study and turned on again, frowned and asked, "Sister Musk Yue, the second master is alone in the study again?" What the hell is he up to? ”
Musk Yue glanced at Baochai, who was doing needlework under the lamp, and shook her head, "I don't know either." The second master is very mysterious, and he refuses to let us come to serve these days! ”
Baochai raised his head, "Musk Yue, you go to the kitchen to take a look, is the bird's nest stewed for the second master good?" If it's good, quickly bring it in and let the second master drink it. ”
Musk Yue knew that this was what the second grandmother meant by what she said to Ying'er, so she nodded respectfully. That's what she is good about, she never asks more if she shouldn't ask, and she never cares about things she shouldn't take care of, no, she attacked Qingwen and they all left, only she stayed.
"Second grandma, is the second master Bao hiding in the study again busy with his painting? The pair that was given to Miss Lin? Didn't the second master know that the second master couldn't go on that occasion tomorrow? Besides, now the second master has to read every day, warm up at night, and be busy with that painting, how long has he not been with the second grandmother? Mrs.'s face is getting uglier and uglier day by day, and what she says is becoming more and more obvious day by day. Grandma, you don't care? Ying'er whispered, took a cup of tea and handed it over.
Baochai smiled without saying a word, put down the needle and thread in his hand, picked up the tea bowl, but as if he remembered something, he opened the teacup and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Ying'er, change this tea to warm water, from now on, I don't need tea, just warm water." ”
Ying'er answered, walked out with a teacup, walked a few steps, but stopped, and then turned around suddenly, suppressing the surprise, "Second grandma, are you, aren't you?" She didn't dare to say the next words, and only looked at Baochai's abdomen with her eyes.
Xue Baochai smiled, did not speak, did not nod, only gently stroked his abdomen with his hand. Seeing this, Ying'er didn't understand anything, and immediately smiled in surprise, "Grandma, it's so late, why don't you go to rest, what are you doing here!" No, Ming'er should hurry up and ask the doctor to check the pulse! Otherwise, every night when the second master stays up, you will stay up until what hour, this is not good! ”
Xue Baochai shook his head, "Ming'er can't do it, what day did you forget Ming'er?" I can't steal the limelight from Sister Lin in her good days. Let's talk about it in a few days! "Now it's not the time to be a girl, that time, I am a relative of the Jia family, even if I steal the limelight from the girls of the Jia family in words and deeds, it doesn't matter, but now I can't. Countless facts tell me that the difference between being a girl and being a daughter-in-law is very big.
Ying'er is not a foolish person, so she understands when she thinks about it, and nodded, "What grandma said is very true, it's just that even if grandma waits, she doesn't have to take it too seriously, just pretend." Grandma came to this couch and crooked, I took a blanket for grandma to cover, the light was dim at night, grandma watched her eyes. Ming'er will send a letter to our wife, right? ”
Xue Baochai still shook his head, "I still don't want it, I know my mother's temperament, and I can't hide it." If you know, you will definitely make a fuss and let everyone know, so let's keep a low profile! It's the same with talking about it together in a few days. ”
Ying'er smiled, she has always been of the same heart with the girl, and now that the girl is pregnant again, the position of the second grandmother is stable, she is naturally happy!
But things are often unsatisfactory, Xue Baochai wanted to hide the news of her pregnancy and talk about it in a few days, but at Lin Daiyu's ceremony, when a braised fish was served in front of her, Xue Baochai, who was still feeling the grandeur and grandeur of Lin Daiyu and the ceremony, was so rushed by the smell of fish that she vomited it on the spot.
Mrs. Wang is also a pregnant person, and when she saw this, she didn't know what was going on, so she was so happy that she hurriedly asked the imperial doctor to come and have a look. Although Jia's mother also likes it, she also knows that now this is in the Lin Mansion, today is the day of the eldest daughter of the Lin family, not to mention anything else, His Royal Highness the King of Qi personally congratulated, the palace from the saint, all the palace ladies have sent congratulatory gifts, how can you be so publicized to invite the imperial doctor! Even if Baochai is really pregnant, it's not suitable! Are you here to congratulate or steal the limelight?
Mother Jia immediately spoke out to stop Mrs. Wang, and Xue Baochai also endured the discomfort and persuaded Mrs. Wang, "Mrs. don't worry, I think I ate a bad stomach yesterday, so I am really embarrassed, let everyone be disappointed." ”
Mrs. Wang wanted to say more, but Xue Baochai hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Madam, King Qi is still sitting outside!" ”
Mrs. Wang immediately remembered the avoidance here, and sat down, but she was still a little unhappy in her heart, you Lin Daiyu and Lu are big things, isn't it a big deal if my Baoyu has a future? Seeing that Baochai was still standing, she hurriedly said: "Okay, they are all their own relatives, no one blames you, Ying'er, why don't you help your grandmother to change her clothes and clean up." ”
Xue Baochai's face was pale, and she smiled apologetically at Lin Daiyu, feeling annoyed in her heart, just for a moment, everyone's face was not very good, thinking about it, everyone would mistakenly think that she did it on purpose! Really, if I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have been angry with the second master in the morning, and I didn't even come out with breakfast. I was so rushed by the fishy smell that my stomach was uncomfortably tight, so I vomited it on the spot! It's really, it's so easy to get on top of Sister Lin these days!
Ying'er helped Xue Baochai to go to a side room under the guidance of the maids of the Lin Mansion, the maids brought water, served Xue Baochai to rinse his mouth and wash, Ying'er served Xue Baochai to change his clothes, and said: "It's all the second master's, isn't it, what does the second master have to do with grandma if he can't come, he doesn't dare to mess with the old ladies and ladies, and he doesn't dare to mess with the old man, so he knows that he is angry with grandma!" ”
Xue Baochai hurriedly said: "Shut up!" I don't look at what kind of place this is, even if it's in our house, I can't help you talk nonsense like this! ”
Ying'er bit her lip, her face was indignant, but the movements in her hands did not stop.
Xue Baochai sighed, "Okay, now is not the time to talk about this, I still think about how to explain to the old lady when I go back at night!" It's a good day for Sister Lin! When you go home, don't forget to pack some things and give them to Sister Lin, so that you can make up for them. Remember, things are thicker. ”
Ying'er nodded, "Got grandma." ”
Sure enough, the first thing after returning to Jia's mansion, Mrs. Wang asked Jia Lian to invite the imperial doctor to come over. Jia Lian was entangled with a little widow in Jinling, who knew that there was someone outside the little widow, and one day, Jia Lian was blocked on the little widow's bed. Because the other party is a local tyrant in Jinling, even the government doesn't buy it, and Jia Lian doesn't dare to blatantly play the banner of Rongguo Mansion, so he was imprisoned by the other party, saying that there is no way to call the sky and no way to call the earth! It's easy to let Laiwang's family deliver a letter, hoping to save himself from the sea of suffering.
Who knew it was someone who came, yes, it turned out to be the rouge tiger of his own family! Wang Xifeng borrowed a team of guards from his uncle, went directly to the door, rescued Jia Lian, and then found a number of people to turn around and shake hands with the other party.
It's just a pity that Jia Lian has endured a lot of hardships, although the other party made up for it afterwards and lost a lot of money, but all that money fell into Wang Xifeng's hands. Wang Xifeng hated the little widow so much, I don't know what to say, the other party actually handed over the little widow to Wang Xifeng, Wang Xifeng did not show it on his face, he was kind to the little widow, and even said that he would take her back to the capital with him and accept it as a second room, but in private he used enough means, but in a few days, the little widow was colorless, and finally took advantage of the dead of night to hang himself with a hemp rope.
Jia Lian also hated the little widow, but later the little widow died, Jia Lian looked at her and remembered the lingering happiness when they were together in the past, and actually forgot about her disgust, plus Wang Xifeng sneered at him along the way and ignored him. Comparing the two, Jia Lian's heart suddenly shifted a little bit towards the little widow, and he really shed a few tears for the little widow's death. After letting Wang Xifeng know, there was another commotion.
When he returned to Beijing, Jia Lian knew that his hard days had not yet come to an end, Baoyu had already gotten married, and the old lady spoke and handed over the power of housekeeping to Baoyu's daughter-in-law. Wang Xifeng came back, and it was a foregone conclusion. And Bao Er's grandmother is gentle and generous, and everyone says that Lian's second grandmother is inferior. This made Wang Xifeng, who was already very disappointed, more and more dissatisfied, and pointed all the fingers at Jia Lian, and said all day long: "If you weren't messing around outside, why would I rush over to save you, and now that you are being drawn from the bottom of the kettle, there is no way at all!" ”
