Chapter 138: Stuff
This Yuan Chun felt that the provincial courtyard was too empty, so he asked the eunuch Xia Shouzhong to pass on the message, just let Baochai and other sisters live in, and let Baoyu also live in to study.
Lin Daiyu showed a look of surprise when she heard this, and whispered to Jia Xuan that the two of them were not wrong before, Concubine Jia really liked Baochai. This time, the proclamation specifically mentioned Baochai.
She just realized that she had guessed correctly, and casually mentioned it to Jia Xuan, and she didn't feel at ease at all.
Then they had a place to stay.
Lin Daiyu chose the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and Jia Xuan chose the courtyard not far from her to live. The courtyards of the two are next to each other, and it is very convenient for anyone to go out to find anyone on weekdays, so they are happy.
After the weather got hot, Shi Xiangyun came again. She has a good relationship with several big girls in the house, and she is also very compatible with the sisters, and everyone is happy to see her.
She had a decent relationship with Xue Baochai, and felt that Lin Daiyu was a true temperament, so she took turns living in Wuyuan and Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
On this day, Jia Xuan came to find Lin Daiyu, and it happened that Shi Xiangyun lived in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so the three of them got together, some read books and some talked casually, and they were very harmonious.
It didn't take long for a maid to run outside and look panicked. Someone else rushed by the window, hurrying in his footsteps. One is just like this, and three or four are all at a loss, then there is a problem.
Shi Xiangyun was holding a silk thread, and when she saw it, she wanted to ask what was going on, but those maids and women were moving too fast, and she couldn't call anyone for a while.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a stick of incense before she really stopped someone and asked, "What's wrong?" I'm flustered, and I don't walk well. ”
The mother-in-law who was called was a sprinkler who swept the courtyard, and when she heard the words, she said: "I heard that Jin Chu'er committed suicide by throwing herself into a well and ran out of breath." I don't know what kind of charter it is, I'm waiting for my wife to speak. ”
Jin Chu'er is the big girl next to Mrs. Wang, and she is very quick in her work. When they heard that something had happened to her, several girls in the house were startled.
Lin Daiyu put down the book and asked, "Shall we go over and have a look?" ”
"Go!" After thinking about it, Shi Xiangyun bit his lip and said firmly: "Since we have heard about her, we have to go over and take a look." When they all walked out of the house, they felt that they should not have much to do here, and hesitated: "What do you think of us only looking outside, not close?" ”
The other two agreed. And they went to the other side.
When I arrived, I found that I couldn't get close at all, and there was a stout woman guarding outside, just for fear that the scene would scare the masters, so I didn't let me lean over there.
Jia Xuan noticed that there were traces of a Gu Master, so he wanted to lean over and take a look. After all, she hadn't seen a Gu Master here, and at this time, when such a situation appeared, I was afraid that someone wanted to make trouble.
Who would have thought that those people were so tightly guarded that she couldn't get to Jin Chu'er's corpse at all.
Jia Xuan simply gave up.
Even if there is really a Gu Master, she can't be harmed left and right. And Lin Daiyu is protected by her, so she is naturally fine. Don't let her see it, she doesn't care if other people live or die, why bother with it.
Shi Xiangyun whispered: "Don't go." Just now I heard someone say that she stole her wife's things, and she was so afraid that she would throw herself into the well. ”
Lin Daiyu thoughtfully: "Stealing something? What stolen? She's been here for so many years, and she's never seen her steal. Why did an accident happen at this time? Don't worry about it. ”
"That's right." Shi Xiangyun said: "But everything has the possibility of accidents, and it is not accurate." ”
Suddenly, new news came, saying that Jin Chu'er fell by herself, and she was not punished for doing something wrong.
At this moment, Shi Xiangyun also felt strange: "Why do you say this for a while, and say that for a while." Can death be two causes? ”
Lin Daiyu snorted: "I'm afraid that one of them is true, and the other is confusing." ”
Jia Xuan was afraid that Lin Daiyu would say something terrible again, so he hurriedly dragged the two of them to leave. On the way, he kept admonishing: "Don't talk nonsense." In the end, the other side found out what it was, and asked less about it. ”
It's about Mrs. Wang, that's not a good stubble. She didn't want Lin Daiyu to be hated by that person, so Tete and Lin Daiyu nagged twice.
Lin Daiyu smiled: "You can do it, don't talk to me about these calloused words." I didn't name them just now, I just thought it was a little weird. ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "You have always been very straightforward, beware of suffering, Sister Xuan is also distressed that you deliberately said a few more times." ”
Everyone knows that they are well-intentioned, and they mention it to each other and never mention it again.
The matter on Jin Chu'er's side has not been completely dealt with yet.
Before Jia Xuan returned to the black throttle from Rongguo Mansion, he went to the concierge for something. I happened to see a fairly familiar figure appear in the gatehouse of Rongguo Mansion.
This man is loyal to the king's house. When Jia Xuan went to the Marquis Mansion of Jinxiang on weekdays, she sometimes stayed in the Zhongshun Mansion for a few hours or a day or two, and the people in the palace all knew her, and she also knew a lot of people in the palace.
Seeing the familiar at this time, Jia Xuan was startled. While others were not paying attention, he whispered, "Why are you here?" What about the sons and brothers? ”
The man quietly stuffed her with a small purse: "This is the princess for the girl, tell me to give it to you if I meet the girl, and if I can't meet it, I will take it back and give it in person next time." None of them came, and I don't want to get involved with the girl's business. ”
Jia Xuan's head.
It happened that others came over at this time, and the two pretended not to know each other, and each glanced in opposite directions.
However, Jia Xuan paid attention to it in the end, and planned to knock on the side to ask why this person came to Jiafu. After all, the two families are not very harmonious, and if there is a conflict, she must know a rough idea to know in her heart.
Who knew that she hadn't sent anyone to inquire about it, and that was already the result.
In the evening, Mrs. Xing said happily: "There is a commotion next door." said that Baoyu provoked the Zhongshun Palace, and exchanged something with someone who escaped over there, and was beaten half to death by his father. ”
As a sister-in-law, Mrs. Xing has always been pressed by Mrs. Wang, and she has been secretly angry for a long time. Mrs. Wang has Wang Xifeng by her side to assist in the affairs of the house, and basically nothing goes wrong, and Mrs. Xing has a hard time saying that she can't find fault with the other party, and she is very depressed.
Now that Mrs. Wang's baby son was beaten by her husband, Mrs. Xing was very happy, she obviously wanted to cover it up, but she couldn't help but the corners of her mouth rose, and her joy was overflowing.
Jia Xuan also felt happy. Jia Baoyu is used to provoking girls on weekdays, but she looks like she loves Lin Daiyu alone, which has already made her disgusted.
At this moment, Jia Xuan made a sympathetic look on his face and asked, "I wonder if my mother still remembers what it is?" can provoke such a conflict between their father and son. ”
