Chapter Twenty-Seven: Akane Xue

After Jiang Yan returned to Rongqing Hall, Lu Aya looked at her and smiled, "It's really time for you to take this leave, Mrs. Ming'er is going to Dongfu to watch a play, you can rest for another day." ”

Jiang Yan said: "Whoever doesn't want to go, I'll take care of her, and I'll have enough rest for two days." ”

Apricot hurried over, "Are you serious?" It just so happens that I want to go home recently, and I was afraid that I would not be able to ask for leave, so if you go for me, how about I make you a handkerchief? ”

"The veil is exempt, serving the old lady is my job, how can it be worth your special thanks."

On the second day, Jia's mother brought Mrs. Wang, Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu and others to watch the play, and Jiang Yan was in the attendant. She had no interest in these operas at all, and she almost took a nap when she stood in the back. Fortunately, although Jia's mother was full of enthusiasm, after all, she was old and lacked energy, so at noon, she was helped back by Dai Yubaoyu to rest. Mrs. Wang was so pure, but she didn't want to spoil her mother-in-law's interest, and she came back when she saw Mother Jia come back.

After Jia's mother's lunch break, Jia Baoyu walked around the house twice, really idle, remembering that Baochai had recently recuperated at home, so he said that he wanted to go out, and a large group of maids and women followed him out.

Jiang Yan was fine after Jia's mother took a nap, she watched Jia Baoyu go out, knowing that she was going to visit Baochai, and she was about to look at each other's gold and jade, so she also took some silk threads from the hall to Lixiangyuan.

Jia Baoyu was afraid that he would meet Jia Zheng when he walked up to the room, so he deliberately made a big circle, although he walked early, he hadn't arrived when Jiang Yan arrived.

Jiang Yan knew that Baochai was not sick, but since she came, she still went to meet and greet her. Then by asking Ying'er how to weave the five blessings, he stayed homeopathically.

After a while, the sound of Baoyu and Aunt Xue talking came from outside, Ying'er hurriedly got up and cleaned up the silk threads scattered on the table, and as soon as she sat down, Baoyu opened the curtain and came in. He looked at Baochai intently and asked, "Is my sister better?" ”

After speaking, I saw Jiang Yan, "Why did Shuang'er come here?" ”

Jiang Yan said what she had said about learning to play with Ying'er again, and Baoyu asked her and Ying'er to continue to be busy and not worry about him.

Baochai thanked Baoyu for remembering, asked him to sit down, said some greetings, and then mentioned that he wanted to see the Tongling Baoyu that Baoyu was holding when he fell into the grass, and took it and admired it for a long time, and recited it twice in a row, "Don't forget it, Xianshou Hengchang".

Ying'er, who was sitting next to her, seemed to remember, and said with a smile: "I listen to these two sentences, but it seems that the two sentences on the girl's collar are a pair." ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he naturally wanted to take a look, although Baochai was unwilling, he couldn't entangle him in the end, so he unbuttoned and took out the golden lock to show him.

Jiang Yan sat at the table below and looked coldly at the two people who were very close, if she hadn't known that Xue Baochai had been defeated, no one would have felt that there was anything wrong with this scene. Lin Daiyu looked at the Tongling Jade curiously on the first day she came, why did Xue Baochai remember to see it for more than half a year? The master and servant sang and harmonized the words of gold, jade, and yi, and Baoyu also drilled into it very cooperatively, saying "sure enough, a pair". Presumably, after today, the rumor of golden jade good fate will spread in the mansion.

Seeing that they cooperated so well, even Baoyu's reaction was good, how could it be that they hadn't planned it carefully!

Thinking about Zhou Rui's attitude towards Lin Daiyu a few days ago, Mrs. Wang must have interfered a lot.

At this time, Daiyu also came to visit Baochai, originally with good intentions, but seeing that Baoyu was also there, and he was so close, he couldn't help but contain a little sour when he spoke.

Jiang Yan saw that there was no maid by Daiyu's side, so she hurriedly stood up and served her and took off her cloak, "Where is the maid next to the girl?" ”

"I was called back by Zijuan halfway, and I'll come over later." Daiyu said, "It's snowing outside, don't go back yet, and walk with the snow geese later." ”

Jiang Yan responded immediately, she didn't want to walk in the snow, in this era, a cold is not a trivial matter.

It was getting late, Aunt Xue had already prepared a meal for them to eat before going back, and it happened that Xue Yan listened to Zijuan's words and sent the hand stove over, and Daiyu took advantage of this incident to taunt Baoyu. But it led to Aunt Xue's sentence, you are so hearty.

Jiang Yan didn't know if she was intentional or just smooth, after all, what Daiyu just said about sending the hand stove and worrying about the master's blame was a little too much.

Fortunately, at this time, Mama Li persuaded Baoyu to drink less, which made him unhappy and diverted everyone's attention.

By the time they finished eating, a few old ladies had already sneaked away, and they went home to play, leaving only a few little maids waiting to return to Rongqing Hall.

Jiang Yan followed Daiyu back to the main house, and Xing'er asked her, "You haven't seen anyone in an afternoon, where did you go crazy?" Sister Mandarin Duck also asked you. ”

Jiang Yan glanced at her, "Where am I going crazy on a snowy day?" This is not looking for Ying'er at noon, but I happened to meet Miss Lin without a maid, so I stayed. Miss Lin was kind enough to let me go with the snow goose with an umbrella, but it was too late. ”

"That's good, you can talk to Sister Mandarin Duck later, lest someone chew your tongue and say that you are lazy."

Jiang Yan was helpless, "Green silk again?" How did I offend her, I have been looking at me unpleasantly all these years. ”

Xing'er ate and laughed, "I see that she is used to it, and it will be uncomfortable if she doesn't find fault with you." ”

The two were talking and laughing, when suddenly there was a sound in the direction of Qianyun Xuan in the backyard, as if something had hit the ground. Mother Jia hurriedly instructed a mother-in-law to go over and have a look.

After a while, the mother-in-law came back and said that a maid named Qianxue in Baoyu's room couldn't make tea, which made him angry and wanted to get out, and the attacker was still covering up, but she had already heard it clearly outside.

Jiang Yan was stunned when she heard this report, Baoyu was obviously angry that Mama Li drank his tea, how could she say that it was the maid's fault?

Jia Mu was also a little angry when she heard this, "It's too good to attack people!" What is this maid still left for! I can't make tea, I can't listen to words, and I will make my master angry. What about Grandma Li? What did she do in the treasure jade house?! ”

The mandarin duck hurriedly reassured: "Second Master Bao drank wine just now, I think I was in a hurry, maybe Ming'er will forget about it, why should the old lady be angry." ”

"He just said it when he was drunk, and with his temperament on weekdays, he couldn't help the maids hide it, and if he didn't care about it, there would be no one in the house," Jia Mu emphasized, "No one is allowed to tell Baoyu about this!" ”

Mama Li had already come back from home at this time, and when she heard that Mother Jia was angry inside, she ran in in a hurry, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Old lady, I really went out just now, I didn't expect those little hooves to make mistakes, I will definitely clean them up when I turn around!" Don't let them make Bao Erye angry again! ”

Mother Jia didn't bother to pay attention to her, "Baoyu said that she wanted to get out, you can let her come in and take her out tomorrow." Mandarin duck, you will talk to the second wife tomorrow, and you will say that you are old, and give a grace to let it out. ”

The mandarin duck nodded, and Mama Li said yes in a row, and hurriedly retreated.

The maids in the room looked at each other, and no one dared to make a sound, only bowed their heads and continued to work on errands.

When she was resting at night, Xing'er asked, "We didn't see it in the house, who of you knows what's going on?" Even if he didn't make good tea, Bao Er Ye wouldn't lose his temper so much. ”

Rui'er hurriedly said, "I know this, I happened to be in the backyard at that time, Baoyu scolded Mama Li for being too rampant, when Mother Song went, she only heard that it was going to be thrown out, she asked, and the attacker said that she accidentally broke the tea bowl, Baoyu was angry and Mother Song didn't believe it, and when she came out, she asked who sent the tea, and the little maids were all in the hands of Mama Li, who dared to tell the truth, just said that Qian Xue didn't make tea according to the method Baoyu said, which made him angry. ”

Xing'er frowned, "Since you know, why don't you tell Mother Song?" Now Qianxue is going to be kicked out of the house! ”

Rui'er looked helpless, "The little maids in the Baoyu House all say so, and I have to be believed if I say anything else." Could it be that Baoyu will be confronted? ”

Jiang Yan knew that another reason was that Rui'er had a good relationship with the attacker, and she was not familiar with Qianxue at all, so she couldn't offend people for her, and Mama Li was not easy to mess with.

She didn't think it was a bad thing to go out of the house like this, although her reputation was a little more ugly, so she was no longer a slave and maid, and she didn't want to redeem her money. Even if you don't know anything when you go out, you can support yourself by embroidering with one hand. It's just that this degree is not easy to grasp, Qian Xue's matter happened to hit the muzzle of the gun that Jia Mu wanted to clean up in the Baoyu House, but it was actually just a trivial matter, so she was just asked to leave the house, if she really made a big mistake, it is estimated that she would not be so careless.

Qian Xue was going to go out, because Jia Mu gave a gag order, and Qianyun Xuan didn't know about it. On the morning of the second day, Jia Rong brought Qin Zhong over to meet Jia's mother, Baoyu hurriedly went over to see him, as soon as he left, Mama Li came in to call Qianxue to pack her things and prepare to go home.

Qian Xue didn't know why, Mama Li told Jia's mother's instructions, she knew that Qian Xue was unlucky because of her, and she spoke softer, "I know you are a good boy, but we can't help but listen to the old lady's words, but fortunately, the old lady is merciful and lets you out, and in two years let your mother find you a good family to marry, this day is not good, quickly put away everything, don't miss anything." ”

Qian Xue knew that last night's incident hadn't passed yet, and she wanted to say a few words, but Mama Li was here, if she said that she was the culprit and annoyed her, it was estimated that she wouldn't even be able to take away her body all these years. wanted to delay waiting for Baoyu to come back, looking at the few mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists behind Mama Li, she also knew that this was delusional.

She didn't want to be ugly, so she silently went back to the house to pack up her things, but she was still aggrieved in her heart, obviously it was none of her business, why was she the only one who was unlucky! Baoyu said that it wasn't her who wanted to chase her, why did she get to the old lady and become to drive her away! It must be some villain behind the scenes!

After packing her luggage, Qian Xue went to say goodbye to the attacker, Qingwen and others, only saying that her mother came in and begged her wife to let her out, but she didn't expect her wife to agree on the spot, she was going to leave today, and some things for them on weekdays were taken as a thought. Although the attacker and the others felt that this was too fast, seeing that Qian Xue had already packed up, they hurriedly brought some of their own hairpins, bracelets, etc. for her to carry, which was also the end of this friendship.
