Chapter 558: The Cripple Leads the Way for the Snitch
Wang Xifeng was sad when she saw Jia's mother, and she didn't dare to come forward to gag.
Seeing that under the considerate service and persuasion of the mandarin duck, Jia's mother gradually stabilized, so she relieved herself, walked to Mrs. Wang's side, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. go back to rest first, the old lady is here for us to watch." ”
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she nodded silently, glanced at Jia Mu above, and quietly retreated.
Jia's mother was worried that her grandson had nowhere to vent, so she sprinkled her dissatisfaction on her.
But who should she turn to to vent her emotions?
The Baoyu sisters and brothers are deeply involved in the whirlpool of rebellion, shouldn't she be the mother who is most worried?
It's a pity that she has no way to distinguish from Jia's mother after all, and she knows that she will only make Jia's mother unhappy when she is here now, so she quietly retreated.
Seeing that she persuaded Mrs. Wang away, Wang Xifeng walked into the cubicle again, and said to the sisters who were hiding their faces and wiping their tears: "The old lady is in a bad mood at this time, and she has no spirit to greet you, so you can go back to the garden too." ”
Li Kun had been staying here for a long time and wanted to go back to the garden, but it was not easy to go directly, so he said: "Then the ...... here"
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Wang Xifeng said with a smile. As far as she is concerned, she is more relieved when these squeamish sisters-in-law leave.
Seeing her like this, Li Kun was no longer polite, personally picked up the delicate Daiyu, and then beckoned Tanchun, Xiangyun and others to go back to Daguan Garden from the back door.
When they came to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, everyone sat down together but didn't have much to say, crying and sighing, and then went back.
Xiangyun was sad and lonely because of Daiyu, and she had no intention of caring about people at all, and she was bored, so she went out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
If you want to go elsewhere to relax, thinking that Yingchun and cherishing spring are similar to Daiyu, Tanchun is too shrewd, and Li Kun is the eldest sister-in-law...... After thinking about it, I decided to go to Wuyuan to see if Baochai was there.
The Grand View Garden is as beautiful as before, and because it is almost autumn, the trees and flowers are quietly adding a touch of bleak gold, which makes the heaven and earth more of the autumn sense of slaughter.
There was no one around.
The little maids who used to be frolicking and playing everywhere in the Grand View Garden are gone.
Seeing this, Xiangyun added three points of melancholy in his heart.
The feet did not stop, and when she arrived at Luwuyuan, Baochai was actually at home, and she ran in.
Baochai was sitting on the kang needle, saw Xiangyun, and greeted him.
Xiangyun walked over, glanced at the red-bellied brocade chicken picture embroidered by Baochai, and touched Baochai's kang in her hand, she didn't say a word, directly kicked off her boots, and curled her legs into Baochai's quilt.
was disturbed by her, Baochai was not annoyed, took the needle and thread farther away to avoid hurting Xiangyun, and took the initiative to cover the quilt for Xiangyun, and then touched her ears and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”
Xiangyun fell into Baochai's arms, rubbed and said, "Unhappy~"
Baochai seemed to have an understanding, but he was puzzled: "What happened again?" ”
Xiangyun shook his head, only half-wrapped around Baochai's soft waist, and paused for a while before pouting: "I'm not happy." ”
The delicate appearance made Baochai smile. Immediately, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, the changes that happened in the house, even this little girl was affected.
After a while, Xiangyun finally let go of Baochai, raised his head and asked, "Sister Bao, aren't you worried about Brother Bao?" ”
Baochai picked up the needle and thread for a moment, and a look of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
Why wasn't she worried? There has been no definite news of Jia Baoyu from the outside world, and as long as she stops, she can't help but guess Jia Baoyu's situation and worry about his safety.
Being a female celebrity is also to calm herself down.
But Xiangyun was too young, and she didn't want to tell her these bad emotions, so she said, "Why do you ask that?" ”
Xiangyun left Baochai's embrace, sat cross-legged on the kang, and counted carefully: "From the old lady, Mrs., Sister Feng, Sister Yingchun, Sister Tanchun, everyone is very worried about Brother Bao. Especially Sister Lin, she has cried several times today, and she cried again in the old lady's house before......
There are also Sister Yingchun and Sister Xichun, they are also crying.
I'm also worried about Brother Bao, but I can't do anything, alas......"
Xiangyun let out a long sigh.
From Jia's mother to the reactions of the maids, it undoubtedly clearly shows that something is really going on outside, and something is very big.
She didn't care much about what was going on, because no one knew what was going on, this one said this, that one said that.
Only Jia Baoyu happened to be in the middle of it, and it was the one that worried her the most.
But she was just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, and she didn't know what to do in the face of such a big thing, and the people around her were all like that, she felt a little depressed.
She doesn't like to be depressed, but she can't get rid of it, so she's unhappy.
In her heart, Baochai knows everything, and she wants to know Baochai's thoughts to identify whether she is suspected of being a mediocre person.
But after she finished speaking, she didn't get a response from Baochai, and when she looked up, she found that Baochai's eyes were deep and a little stunned, so she shook her: "Sister Bao, are you listening to me?" ”
Baochai came back to his senses and sighed lightly: "It's just that you can't do anything, even the old lady, aunt and Feng girl in their house, what can you do?" Otherwise, their mansion would not be the same as it is now. ”
Baochai said, seeing that Xiangyun was listening carefully, he said again: "Since ancient times, the female protagonist is inside, the male protagonist is outside, the yin and yang are distinct, and the universe is orderly. Those major events that determine the fate of the family, whether it is life and death, wealth and wealth, rise and fall, are originally things that the outsiders consider, and they are not something that our girl's family can decide.
Take this incident as an example, we can only believe in Brother Bao and believe that he will come back safely.
As for what to help him, we can't do it.
We stayed at home all day, having no idea what was going on outside. I don't know the root cause, and I don't have a certain rule, just blindly thinking nonsense, blindly looking for people to do things, not to mention that there is no effect, and what I am most afraid of is doing stupid things and helping others.
Therefore stay in the garden in peace, and stay with your sisters, and go nowhere also. It's already good if you don't mess up the adults. ”
Xiangyun nodded when he heard this, and said, "Sister Bao is right, Brother Bao is so smart and capable, he will definitely be safe."
It's just that I still feel very uncomfortable when I see Sister Lin worrying about Brother Bao so much and wiping her tears from sadness all day long. ”
"The girl was originally a little sentimental...... If you can't stay with her, do some needlework with me here. ”
Baochai asked Ying'er to take out a pair of shoes that she hadn't made before.
Don't look at Xiangyun's young age, people are also a little arrogant, but the female celebrity is excellent, her hands and feet are fast, and Baochai is a little reluctant to let the maids do it for her, but she is willing to let Xiangyun help do it.
Xiangyun is also willing to help Baochai do this kind of small work because Baochai treats her best.
Just as she was looking for a good posture to work, she saw an incense burner on the high table next to the kang head, and there were three unburned incense sticks in it, she suddenly asked curiously: "Sister Bao doesn't believe this, why did she suddenly worship?" ”
The sisters who get along day and night, Xiangyun naturally knows that among the sisters, only Baochai is the most disbelieving in gods and Buddhas.
This shouldn't have been in her house.
Baochai followed her line of sight and glanced at it, but she didn't care, she just said: "Worship, it's better than not worship." ”
As soon as Xiangyun heard this, he knew that although Baochai was calmer than everyone else on the surface, he was actually worried in his heart.
She suddenly moved and said, "Sister Bao, I also want to bow down, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Brother Bao from turning evil into good fortune and coming back safely." I wanted to do this in my wife's house before, but I didn't dare to disturb my wife because she was in a bad mood. ”
Mrs. Wang believes in Buddhism, not only is there a complete set of Buddhist scriptures, wooden fish and other things in the house, but also a Buddhist hall is set up behind her courtyard.
After Wang Xifeng took care of the house, Mrs. Wang spent most of her free time chanting and worshipping Buddha.
"The incense is in the second drawer over there, you go get it. It's just that you can worship here, don't take things out, they have some taboos in their house. ”
What Baochai said is not that the Jia family does not believe in gods and Buddhas, but that the older generation of people feel that young girls should not come into contact with these gods and ghosts too early, for fear of bad luck.
Xiangyun immediately got off the kang, lit incense, and found a futon.
Because there is no statue of a god, I can only worship silently in front of the incense burner, and see the way she recites words in her mouth, she really looks a little pious.
It's just that before Xiangyun finished "casting the spell", he suddenly heard that the maid came to communicate:
"Miss Yun, your aunt sent someone to pick you up, and Second Grandma Lian told you to go out quickly."
……
Wang Xifeng went to see Jia's mother, returned to the matter, and came back to find that the visitor was gone, so he asked Ping'er.
Ping'er said: "Grandma doesn't know, she is very anxious, grandma didn't come back for a while, she couldn't sit still, saying that there was an urgent matter at home, and she was clamoring to go into the garden to find someone."
I had to let Zhou Rui's family take her there. ”
Wang Xifeng sneered: "Seeing the wind and steering again, they are sure that our family is going to be unlucky, and they are afraid that their girls will be affected by leaving them in our house, so they are in such a hurry to pick people up!" ”
Ping'er didn't answer, and asked instead, "What did the old lady say?" Do you promise to let Miss Yun go back? ”
Wang Xifeng said as a matter of course: "Where does the old lady still have the leisure to keep people now, I said that the Shi family came to pick up the cloud girl and went back, the old lady nodded immediately, and said that there is no need to go back when you leave, let me deal with it." ”
Ping'er nodded when she heard this, and said, "That's right, speaking of which, Miss Yun has also been in our house for so long, and it is reasonable for her aunt to take her back......"
Regarding Ping'er's words that he wanted to cover up, Wang Xifeng just sneered.
If you don't come to pick it up early, you won't pick it up late, and you're in a hurry to pick it up at this time?
This girl, the good old man's mistake has been committed again, and everyone will say good things!
But it's nothing, if you want to pick it up, take it away, as if it's rare! She still doesn't believe it, can the dignified century-old Guogong Mansion still be defeated like this?
I don't take this seriously, and I have no intention of following up in the garden. After packing up the people and things, she will naturally come out, and when the time comes, she will send them on behalf of Jia's mother, and she will be a gift.
After taking a sip of tea, taking a breath, when Ping'er was adding tea, Wang Xifeng suddenly grabbed and asked: "Ping'er, do you also think that Baoyu will be involved in the rebellion of the prince of Nalao Shizi, and then affect the family?" ”
Ping'er suddenly became nervous, "Look at what grandma asked, grandma doesn't know about this kind of thing, how can I know ......"
Wang Xifeng didn't expect Ping'er to answer, she looked at Ping'er and said:
"Now the people in the family are panicking, even the old lady and his wife have lost their square inches, not to mention outsiders, and now they are afraid of having something to do with our family!
said that I am not afraid of people laughing, even my own brother, originally I wanted him to help our family inquire about the news, but guess what? The man I sent was chased back without even entering the door of his house......"
Wang Xifeng's smiling appearance made Ping'er feel a little furious, and persuaded in a low voice: "Grandma doesn't have to be angry with them, this is also human nature, now there is so much trouble outside, who is also panicked in his heart, and the uncle is that kind of person, it is not strange that he will be like that." ”
Ping'er's consolation didn't move Wang Xifeng at all. Although she knew that because her uncle Wang Ziteng was not in Beijing, the Wang family also had no backbone, and the situation was not much better than that of the Jia family, but it was impossible for her to be treated like this by her brother.
"It doesn't matter who he is, I only know that adversity sees the truth. What he treats me today, I will do to him in the future!
What I want to say is that it is now rumored in the clan that it is said that the Brotherhood of Bao will affect the family, don't you think it's ridiculous? ”
Ping'er was surprised.
Wang Xifeng said with a mockery at the corner of his mouth: "To say something unpleasant, how many of these clansmen of their Jia family can take it seriously?" is like the eldest master, that is, there are mountains of gold and silver at home, and sooner or later they will be lost? Besides, their family has no gold and silver mountains!
In the past few years, if it weren't for Baoyu's youthful ambition and steady progress, and the eldest lady became a concubine again, where would the family have the current scenery?
I just hope that they will do less unconscionable things, and it would be good if they didn't affect Baoyu, but now they are worried about Baoyu affecting their families. ”
Ping'er frowned, Wang Xifeng's words sounded a little reasonable at first glance, but they ......
"But this time, things are not simple after all, and it is said that it is a rebellion......"
"I know!" Wang Xifeng interrupted Ping'er's words: "Whether it is a rebellion or a change of dynasty, who will say!" ”
Ping'er looked at Wang Xifeng in horror.
Wang Xifeng's face was slightly shocked when he saw this, and he also realized that his words were a little too shocking and rebellious.
"In short, Baoyu's boy is blessed and more shrewd than ten thousand people, look at what he has done over the years, what has he done that is not surprising to the world's expectations? Just like when he went to Shandong last year, how much better is the situation than now?
It's a bandit again, and it's an assassination, and even the prince was assassinated and seriously injured, but he was a good person, not only did he have nothing, but also made a great contribution, and the court promoted him again, knighted, and rewarded a large number of gold and silver property, and took all the benefits alive!
So, the wives and the others are all worried about him now, but I am not worried.
Perhaps, that kid is hiding somewhere now, and he may not be able to do any good!
Let's just wait for him to come back and brag, and just share the benefits by the way.
Thinking about anything else is just a worry, and the lame man leads the way for the snitch. ”
"This ......"
Ping'er was shocked by Wang Xifeng's remarks, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel that what their grandmother said was so reasonable......
