Chapter 599: Between Master and Servant
Outside the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the purple cuckoo was waiting with lanterns. Hearing the sound of talking outside the bamboo forest path, and a large number of lights flashing, she knew that it was the girls who had returned to the garden, and hurriedly took the maids out to welcome them.
"Yo, just as I was saying that there was no one with Feng'er, let's send her in, but it happened to be ......"
Zijuan was about to stand at the intersection and wait, but when she heard the girls mention her, she came forward to salute them.
"Alright, in that case, you can go with them."
Baochai and the others said goodbye to Daiyu and continued along the avenue.
"Girl, it's late at night, it's cold, put it on."
Zijuan waited for Daiyu to turn around, and then put the cloak that had been prepared on Daiyu.
Daiyu frowned when she saw this, this girl is still thinking about adding this thing to her!
But she didn't say anything, and let Zijuan help her tie the neckline.
After entering the hall, Zijuan asked, "Do you want to take a bath?" β
When Daiyu heard this, she subconsciously wanted to say no, but now that it is late autumn, she naturally doesn't need to bathe every day.
She had only washed it since she came back last night.
However, when I remembered that I had been fighting with Baoyu for a long time at dusk, I was sweating finely, and he had some saliva stains around his neck, although he didn't dislike it too much, it was better to wash it.
Because of the blushing face, he asked Zijuan to prepare hot water.
Zijuan replied that it was ready, and after Daiyu nodded, she asked the little maid to bring the change of clothes prepared for Daiyu, and led Daiyu directly into the bath.
The bathroom is next to Daiyu's bedroom, a small room.
Because Daiyu was weak, Zijuan and the others had already sealed all the ventilation areas in the house, and they also burned a pot of charcoal on the ground.
And after the little maid brought the clothes in, Zijuan hurriedly bolted the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the warm little room.
In the mist, Zijuan untied her clothes for Daiyu, and watched her young lady stroking her shoulders with both hands, squatting timidly and slowly into the water, she smiled slightly.
Hold up one of Daiyu's green silk and place it outside the bucket to avoid getting wet with water. Then he picked up a soft handkerchief, stood behind Daiyu, and gently rubbed her arms and shoulders for her.
The warm hot water soaked her skin, Daiyu groaned comfortably, couldn't help but lean against the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes and let the intimate warm maid rub her body.
Although I could hear the gossip she initiated, I didn't pay much attention to it.
Zijuan saw that Daiyu was lazy and ignored people, so she smiled and said:
"The girl's skin is getting more and more snowy and shiny, just like fat jade, no wonder Second Master Bao likes it so much."
Daiyu trembled, opened her eyes, and stroked the water with her hand to express her dissatisfaction, and then said, "Damn, what nonsense!" β
After all, I couldn't help but burn red, and I didn't know if it was ashamed or smoked.
Zijuan smiled, not taking Daiyu's anger to heart at all, and then said casually: "Alas, I really didn't expect that Second Master Bao has only been a year since the last time he was made an earl, and he has been promoted again, and he is still a prince......"
Zijuan's tone was embarrassed.
When Daiyu heard this, she put down her previous thoughts, and her heart also sighed.
But she is different from Zijuan, she knows better that Jia Baoyu is not just a promotion this time.
What kind of merit and luck can make a person rise from earl to prince?
No.
Baoyu may not be the real Baoyu, he may be the royal lineage......
The cousin of her childhood sweetheart for many years may not be her cousin, but a member of the royal family, which makes her feel fantastical.
But it doesn't matter, as long as others haven't changed, and they still care about her the most in their hearts, everything else doesn't matter.
The better he is, the better she feels.
Zijuan lowered her head, looked at Daiyu's expression in her eyes from the side, and suddenly said, "Didn't the girl ever ask Second Master Bao?" β
"Ask what?"
Daiyu pouted slightly, a little impatient.
Zijuan said naturally: "Of course it's about the girl's marriage!"
Although Bao Er Ye had asked the old lady to marry the girl before, and the old lady had agreed, but now that so much time has passed, isn't the girl worried at all? β
"What am I worried about?"
Daiyu said stiffly, and then said in a low voice: "You girl, what are you worried about?" Anyway, you have to wait for the Ye family girl to enter the door, it's good......"
Daiyu didn't want to talk about it, but Zijuan had to force her to think about it.
How could she not care about the events of her life?
Although she didn't take the initiative to ask, she noticed from Jia Baoyu's previous words that Jia Baoyu meant that marrying Miss Ye was something that could not be changed, and only after Miss Ye entered the door could he marry her properly.
Zijuan saw that her girl was finally not too confused, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then said: "Even so, in the end, the identity of Second Master Bao is very different now.
In the evening, Bao Er Ye came to find the girl, and the girl did not mention it to Bao Er Ye, what is the position of the girl when she marries in the future? β
Zijuan lowered her voice.
Daiyu was secretly annoyed that Zijuan was "ignorant", knowing that this was a pain in her heart, she preferred which pot she didn't open and which pot she didn't mention, and always said that she didn't like to hear this.
So I ignored her.
Zijuan said to himself: "The character and appearance of Bao Erye's birth, he is already the supreme prince at this age, not to mention the people outside, just say that in our family, there are some beautiful maids, who doesn't like him and wants to be looked down on by him?"
Our family is still like this, how can it be so bad if you want to come outside?
Since ancient times, it has been extremely common for men to have three wives and four concubines, and it is expected that the second master of Bao will be the same in the future, and even worse.
Now Bao Er Ye naturally cares about girls very much, but in this world, it is untenable to have the favor of a man's family alone, and he has to have a position!
Did the girl forget the third girl and her mother, isn't it because her position is too low, so even if the old man is reluctant, she has been kicked out of the house now? β
Zijuan's words made Daiyu's face blue and white.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she also knew that Zijuan was not talking nonsense.
Everyone in the mansion knows that Aunt Zhao is very favored by Jia Zheng, but because of the old lady and his wife, she has always been very unhappy in the mansion, and now she has been kicked out, and the old lady personally ordered that she will never be allowed to enter the mansion again.
She naturally wouldn't compare her with a stupid woman like Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao's experience is a microcosm of the concubine room and partial room in this era.
But so what, who doesn't know that the side room is inferior in front of the main room?
Even if she doesn't want to, do you still ask her to fight with the Ye family girl?
How to fight, Daiyu thought of that person's aunt in her heart, the queen mother in the depths of the palace, who was extremely beautiful.
Before, it was just because she was promised to Baoyu, and she was already weak in front of her, and her embarrassment was repeated, if she regained such a "disobedient" heart, she was afraid that if she looked at her again, she would be ashamed to death.
Embarrassed and annoyed in her heart, Daiyu moved around the bucket, sat on the side, and looked up at Zijuan: "You dead girl, just say whatever you want, don't go around the bend here." β
Zijuan knew that Daiyu was impatient, and finally said her true intentions: "I heard others say that anyone who is a prince can be crowned a side concubine."
Haven't you forgotten that the last time the eldest lady of the Wang family got married, didn't she marry the prince as a side concubine?
At that time, the news spread in the capital, and even our family heard the news every day.
On the day of the eldest lady of the Wang family, I heard that the pomp was so big that even the emperor and the empress went to marry her in person......"
Daiyu didn't look over, looked at the petals floating on the water, and said coldly: "So what......"
Zijuan hated that iron could not be made of steel and said, "Why is the girl so confused? Now that Bao Er Ye is also a prince, he must also be able to set up the position of side concubine!
Didn't the girl care at all?
Although the side concubine is definitely still under the princess, at least it is also a very high position.
If the girl becomes the side concubine of the second master, no one will dare to despise the girl in the future! β
Daiyu stopped talking.
It's not that she doesn't know this, no, she even knows more than Zijuan!
She is conflicted in her heart, out of nature she is a little disgusted to calculate and plot these things, but, occasionally, she still cares. Xuanshu Literature Network
It's just that no matter what, she never got up to ask Jia Baoyu.
Because it looks very vulgar, it seems that what she likes is not Baoyu's people, but like those ordinary people, she likes his status and status.
And she felt that as long as Jia Baoyu really liked her, Jia Baoyu would naturally give it to her.
If he doesn't give it to her, it naturally means that he doesn't like her so much......
Since she likes her, she doesn't have to fight for those things.
If you don't like her, what's the use of fighting for those things?
But these thoughts, Daiyu has no way to distinguish them from Zijuan, and Zijuan can't understand them.
Zijuan really didn't understand Daiyu's thoughts, but as a person who had served Daiyu for many years, when the girl didn't have the elders by her side, she felt that there were some things she had to remind.
"Don't worry about it now, you won't regret it if you suffer a loss in the future.
The girl feels that now Bao Er Ye is a girl wholeheartedly, so she has nothing to fear, but the girl should not forget how Miss Ye snatched the position of Bao Er Ye's wife?
Even if Second Master Bao treats the girl consistently, if another person like the girl of the Ye family appears in the future and takes away that position, what will happen?
The girl has already endured it once, will she have to endure it every time in the future? And where did the girl put herself? β
Daiyu, who didn't want to listen to Zijuan's chatter anymore, was stunned when she heard the words.
Yes, the lessons of the previous car, the division of the rear car.
When Baoyu was not so dazzling, there was a princess, a prince and the like to marry him.
If in the future, if any other prince or nobleman takes a fancy to him and wants to marry him, what should he do then? Refuse?
Daiyu is not a naΓ―ve and ignorant person, how can she not know that between the big families, the more noble the person, the more involuntary the marriage is to be overpowered, because their marriage is an important bargaining chip used to conclude bonds between the big clans.
It's called marriage.
In fact, Baoyu and the Ye family are married.
If she didn't know that Baoyu couldn't help herself at the beginning, even if she liked him again, how could she compromise so easily?
Even if he has the ability, he can refuse except for the emperor, so what about Sister Bao?
Sister Bao and her mother, in the past, wanted to send Sister Bao into the palace to be a nobleman, but now in such a situation, they will naturally not let it go......
"Girl?"
Zijuan saw that Daiyu was stunned, and was a little worried about whether she had said it too much, which annoyed her.
Daiyu looked back at her, the look in her eyes gathered, and suddenly showed annoyance: "As far as you are smart, you know everything, and you have to take care of everything." I know, you must be afraid that I will have no status in his family in the future, and you will have no status if you are tired, so you came to persuade me! β
Daiyu seemed genuinely annoyed, and she propped herself up from the bucket that was already starting to get a little cold.
"Wow~~"
The water waves brought by Daiyu's body quickly fell back into the bucket, revealing Daiyu's smooth and flawless skin.
Even Zijuan looked at it and forgot what she wanted to say.
The girl is already as beautiful as an elf, and this behavior at this time is deeply in line with the word Hibiscus out of the water.
Tiny droplets of water hung on her soaked pink, flawless delicate body, giving birth to a hazy and dreamy beauty. This beauty that cannot be described in words makes people dare not look at it directly.
Zijuan suddenly thought, a girl like a person who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, which man's family can't be held tightly in the palm of his hand?
Perhaps, I was overthinking......
Daiyu saw that Zijuan actually looked like "lust and soul", and scolded scolded: "Look! If you don't bring your clothes over, you can't freeze me to death! β
Zijuan smiled, helped Daiyu out, and then wiped her body with the towel she had prepared earlier, and then slowly put on her full body and helped her back to her room to rest.

Inside the Yihong Courtyard.
Jia Baoyu pulled Xiangling to walk in front of the porch and went directly into the bathroom, and when the maid outside saw it, she just lowered her head and pretended not to see it, "concentrating" on doing things.
Everyone knows that the second master loves Xiangling, obediently, I heard that the second master has to sleep with Xiangling in his arms every night, otherwise the second master will not be able to sleep. It's called a warm bed.
Although some people envy and some slander, no one dares to speak disrespectfully to Xiangling because of this.
In the past, Bao Erye's grandmother scolded Xiangling for stirring up trouble in Bao Erye's house, but Bao Erye was so angry that even the grandmother was beaten out half to death (in fact, it was ordered by Jia's mother) ......
With such an example in front, who would dare to disagree?
There is really one person who is not convinced.
Qingwen just didn't accept it.
It was clear that she should serve the second master today, but the second master didn't even ask her, so he dragged Xiangling in!
What's the matter, do you think she doesn't serve as well as Xiangling?
was unhappy in her heart, Qingwen pouted slightly when she undressed Jia Baoyu.
Hmph, she also arranged a good thing for the second master, since this is the case, he can't be cheap, and then the Tanyun girl doesn't have to come in!
"Ah, what's wrong with you here, why do you have a thumb-sized scar?"
Qingwen, who squatted down to remove Jia Baoyu's pants, suddenly saw a gray mark on Jia Baoyu's calf, at first she thought it was something, but after touching it, she knew that it was a scar, and immediately screamed.
The second master, she is thoroughly served, where has she not seen her whole body?
The second master's legs are strong and beautiful, the contours are smooth, and they are perfect, when did he have a scar?
Xiangling heard the sound and hurriedly squatted down to take a look.
Jia Baoyu turned his legs sideways and looked down, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I accidentally suffered a little injury before, and I'm already healed." β
On the day of the assassination, Emperor Taishang did get an arrow in his calf, but because he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and with his strong recovery power, the wound had long been healed.
"Ah, hurt? I'm going to get medicine for my lord! β
There is a constant ointment for applying wounds at home, and Qingwen has to get up to get it.
"No!" Jia Baoyu felt that she didn't need it, so she reached out and pressed Qingwen's head.
Qingwen originally got up suddenly, but when she was pressed like this, she almost felt that her neck was broken, and she couldn't help but look up at Jia Baoyu angrily.
As everyone knows, Jia Baoyu has been equipped by them, and at this time, the two beauties are squatting in front of her, so the situation is uncontrollable enough, and can it withstand Qingwen's such admiration?
Looking at Qingwen's face, Jia Baoyu took a step forward and straightened up.
Qingwen was pleading Jia Baoyu with her eyes for hurting her, and she couldn't prevent him from doing so, the pupils in her beautiful eyes suddenly dilated, and she suddenly pushed Jia Baoyu away, as if she had been bitten by a fierce beast, and she crawled up, wiped her face, pursed her lips and spat on the ground three times.
"Bah, Bah, Bah......"
Then, a fiery cloud-like face glared angrily.
Jia Baoyu was pushed by her and almost hit the bathtub, but fortunately, Xiangling was loyal and supported him with her body in time.
So Jia Baoyu was also annoyed: "Qingwen Xiao Nizi, you are really getting bolder and bolder, even I dare to push it?" It's against you......"
Qingwen competed with each other and said angrily: "Wow, who told you to insult people like that!" β
"Is that an insult?"
Jia Baoyu almost jumped to his feet and asked rhetorically, then pointed at Xiangling and said, "You ask her, is that called insulting?" β
Xiangling lowered her head shyly.
Qingwen took another sip, and couldn't help but glance down at Jia Baoyu, her pretty face flushed. Then he also knew that he couldn't compare to his own grandfather than shameless, so he threw away the handkerchief and said, "Since my lord is not rare for me to serve, then I will go back to sleep, and you let Xiangling serve you." β
After speaking, you have to pick a pick.
How could Jia Baoyu let her act recklessly, before she arrived at the door, two people stepped forward, scooped her up, walked back, and threw her struggling and screaming body into the wide bathtub with a "poof".
Qingwen snatched a sip of water, and finally stood up with the bucket, and was about to start scolding, when she saw Jia Baoyu also stepping in.
She was really stunned at this time, shrunk her neck and retreated to the edge, hugged her chest with her hands and said, "Good second master, spare me, I haven't taken off my clothes yet, they are all wet, so heavy......"
In a word, it reminded Jia Baoyu.
