Qing Wu Red House

Chapter 160 Guessing Zen Machine

Not to mention how the two girls laughed and chatted when Xiangyun returned to Daiyu's place, let's say that after a busy day, Baochai came back to the small courtyard where she was washing up. Aunt Xue came in and saw her daughter's room piled After buying a lot of gifts, I picked up a few and looked at them.

Baochai let the girls take off the hair ornaments, and then smiled softly: "Why are you here? It's been a busy day, go and rest!" Aunt Xue picked up a rather delicately embroidered purse, Asked: "Is this from Yun girl?"

Baochai nodded, and sighed softly: "Young girl Yun is also pitiful. She has lost her parents since she was a child. Even if she has uncles and aunts who love her, how can she be more comfortable than being around her own parents! I often heard that she occasionally does needlework. It's the third watch."

After hearing Baochai's words, Aunt Xue did not say anything, but put down the purse in her hand, and took Baochai to sit on the couch.When the maids saw this posture, they all retreated quietly.

Baochai looked at her mother and smiled peacefully as always.Aunt Xue patted Baochai's hand: "Where is the gift list from the Sun family, show it to me?" Baochai seemed to have already guessed her mother's intention, and was not very surprised.Then he took a box from the desk behind and handed it to Aunt Xue: "It's a gold inlaid jade head, it looks quite expensive."

Aunt Xue took the box, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "My silly girl, this is not so precious. From my point of view, it is probably Mrs. Sun's. If the time limit is over, it’s best to keep it!”

Baochai nodded, and put the jewelry back on the desk.Aunt Xue took Baochai's hand and sighed: "You have really grown up, you have your own ideas about everything, and you don't like relying on me like you did when you were a child."

Baochai blushed a little, and called out delicately: "Mom, how old am I? Still talking about this."

"Yes, you're sixteen. If you were in an ordinary family, you would already be married at your age." Aunt Xue sighed.Upon hearing this topic, Baochai's expression darkened, she lowered her head and did not answer Aunt Xue's words.

No matter how dull Aunt Xue is, there is no reason why she doesn't know what her daughter is thinking.Her eyes moved, and she was stunned for a while before she sighed: "It's not that Mom doesn't know what you think. You don't like Baoyu, and Mom also knows. But Chaier, poor and lowly couples are sad. You don't understand that kind of life." But, you can't live that kind of life either. So, Mom is doing it for your own good, do you understand?"

Baochai nodded, "Mom, I understand."

"Oh, I know it's hard for you to think clearly now, but it's okay. You just need to listen to your mother, and you will be grateful to me in the future!" Aunt Xue sighed.Baochai nodded silently, for some reason, in her mind at this moment, she thought of that day in the mantou nunnery, among the plum blossoms.It was Chu Tianyou who seemed to have fallen from the sky.For some reason, Baochai felt that her nose was sore, but her eyes were dry.Can't shed a single tear.

"You and Miss Lin have been walking very close recently?" Aunt Xue suddenly changed the subject, causing Baochai to look at her mother in a daze.Aunt Xue sighed helplessly: "If you have the time to visit Miss Lin, why don't you go to Baoyu's place more. Your aunt doesn't like that girl, so you have to be careful. Of course, the old lady is still there. I also It's not that you alienate her."

Baochai heard her mother's inconsistent words, and replied softly, "I understand. Don't worry, mom!" Aunt Xue sighed, patted Baochai's shoulder, and walked out of Baochai's room slowly.

It was already late at night, and Aunt Xue was standing outside the room on the second floor, looking at the bright lights of Rongguo Mansion, her face was pale.

But Wang Xifeng's small courtyard where Daiyu lived was boiling at this time, and it was the eldest sister who had a fever in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Mother Zhao was in the mansion, and she was immediately invited to the eldest sister's room by Zhao Mama.

At this time Wang Xifeng was also running around in a hurry, seeing the eldest sister's cheeks flushed with burns, how could she, as a mother, not feel sorry for her.No matter how Nanny Zhao and Ping'er try to persuade her, she must stay by the eldest sister's side. Seeing this, Ping'er can only go and tell Fat Brother's nanny and maids to take care of Fat Brother carefully. Don't make any more mistakes.

Daiyu and Xiangyun also got up at this time, sitting in the small hall waiting for the news.Even Xiang'er rushed over sleepily. Seeing that she was only wearing a thin tunic, Daiyu couldn't help but look at Er Rong complainingly: "I know Xiang'er is coming, so why don't you wear more. It's late at night Seriously, if it hurts the body, it will be better."

Xiang'er hurriedly said: "Sister, don't blame them, I insisted not to wear it myself." Er Rong also said: "What the girl said is that we were negligent." Qingwen has already taken Daiyu's cloak and put it on for Xiang'er. superior.

Xiangyun watched from the side, and smiled cheerfully: "Sister Lin is really a big sister, which is very surprising!" Daiyu looked at Xiangyun with a broken smile: "What is it like to be a big sister? Besides, you What's the surprise?"

Xiangyun's eyes widened: "Of course it's because of Sister Lin's change by accident. I just feel that Sister Lin has changed a lot after not seeing her for a while." Daiyu knew that Xiangyun had always been straightforward, so she didn't expect to hear from her. Hearing some tactful words, he changed the subject: "I don't know how the eldest sister is doing? This snow goose went to check the situation, but she never came back."

Sure enough, Xiangyun's thoughts were all dragged by the eldest sister, and she stood up anxiously: "If you want me to say, you should go to the imperial physician immediately, but don't delay." Just as they were speaking, Nanny Song and Xueyan came to Daiyu's small hall one after the other.

Daiyu frowned slightly: "Why is Mammy here, but what's wrong with Eldest Sister?" Nanny Song's expression was a little dignified, and Xiangyun jumped up when she saw it: "I'll go and have a look." Xueyan panicked Hold her back: "Miss Yun, don't be busy, let me finish the news first."

"What happened to eldest sister?" Daiyu asked sharply, also a little anxiously.Xueyan sighed heavily, and then said: "Mother Zhao said, the elder sister probably has acne, she needs to be isolated and observed."

"Pox?" Daiyu was startled, and Xiangyun was also stunned.

Nanny Song said in a deep voice: "Mother Zhao is not bad at medicine, but she still wants to ask the girl to introduce Mr. Dai. Mr. Dai has studied acne for a long time, but..." Before Nanny Song finished speaking, Ping'er had already walked in.

When Daiyu and Xiangyun saw each other, they hurriedly asked, "How is Eldest Sister? Is Sister Feng all right?"

Ping'er nodded: "Our grandma is still calm. The eldest sister's fever has not subsided. Zhao's mother said that she might not get better until tomorrow morning. I'm here. I want to say sorry to the two girls. Our grandma has already passed away. I sent a message to the old lady, and then someone came to pick up the two girls and resettle them elsewhere."

It was only then that Daiyu realized that Nanny Song and Xueyan's faces were very serious just now, probably because of this reason.Be aware that pox is highly contagious.But Daiyu still said quickly: "The eldest sister's house is still in the front courtyard, so it will infect us. You go back to Sister Feng, I'm not going anywhere, let her not worry about me, so she can take care of me." It's about yourself."

Xiangyun also said: "Sister Feng is really, she's burning her ass, and she still has time to take care of the two of us. We are such big people. How can we not take care of ourselves. Go and move the fat guy out It is."

Ping'er's eyes were a little red, and she must have cried for a while just now: "It has been moved out, and I dare not send it to other courtyards for the time being. I just rested in our grandma's room." Daiyu sighed: "It's no good As for the method, I will send Zijuan to the herb garden to invite Mr. Dai, and you can also persuade Sister Feng to rest assured that Mr. Dai is known as a miracle doctor, and the elder sister will be safe and sound."

Ping'er couldn't hold back the tears at this time.Sliding down her cheeks: "Then I would like to thank Miss Lin." Daiyu and Xiangyun glanced at each other and couldn't help but sighed.After Ping'er left, Nanny Song said in a deep voice: "The girl is too impulsive, and the pox is a very strong infectious disease. We people don't care. If the girl is in danger, how can we tell her?" Grandpa confesses."

Daiyu smiled: "Then Nanny Song didn't stop me, did she? Doesn't that prove that what I did was right?" Xiangyun looked at Daiyu's mischievous smile from the side.The feeling in my heart is even deeper.Sister Lin, whom she hadn't seen for more than half a year, really changed slowly in a place she couldn't see.It has become a little unfamiliar.

She didn't mean that the original Sister Lin was not good, but that the current one is obviously more open-minded and peaceful.Unlike in the past, when Baoyu was involved, he would get angry easily, like a child protecting his candy.Do not allow others to spy.

Nanny Song smiled helplessly: "That's because the old slave knows that the girl will definitely not leave the yard at this time, but that doesn't mean that the old slave agrees with the girl's actions. The girl is the reliance of our Lin family. The girl must always remember this Just a little."

Daiyu nodded: "Don't worry, Mammy, I can save it. For the next few days, I will stay in my own room and try not to go out. Even Xiang'er and Sister Yun will be taken care of by me. I have to bother Madam a lot for the outside affairs." Mammy was worried. After Mr. Dai came, Mammy conveyed a word for me, saying that I entrusted my eldest sister's life to him, and asked him not to disappoint my trust."

Nanny Song nodded: "Miss, don't worry, Mr. Dai will definitely be able to cure Eldest Sister."

Xiang Yun interjected from the side: "I read a book a few days ago, and vaguely remembered that this acne is actually preventable. It seems to be some kind of acne. I don't know if Mr. Dai will be like this. It's okay when we are all grown up. , the fat guy still needs to take some precautions."

Nanny Song said: "Miss Yun is really knowledgeable, and all these are involved. Mr. Dai is very good at vaccination, but the fat man is still young, at least he has to wait until he is two years old. But the old slave will explain this matter in detail. If you report it to Second Mistress in detail, you might as well ask Fat Brother to take precautions."

Xiang Yun smiled and said, "Amitabha, if this is the case, then it is a merit."

Seeing Xiangyun's sincere smile, Daiyu also smiled lightly.Xiangyun is good at this point, he always treats a person sincerely, pure and kind.

In the early morning of the second day, Baoyu heard the news and wanted to see Daiyu and Xiangyun, but was stopped by Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.Mother Jia sent a message to Wang Xifeng, telling her to look at her eldest sister happily, and just go to the warehouse to get any medicinal materials she wanted.

Naturally, Wang Xifeng didn't have the time to care about what was going on outside, but she was still very grateful to Daiyu and Xiangyun for what they did. While she was busy offering sacrifices to the Pox Empress, telling the servants not to eat fried food, and cleaning the house, she gave them red cloth towels. The eldest sister's maid and mother-in-law cut clothes, and at the same time ordered the servants to take good care of Daiyu and Xiangyun's side, and must not disclose anything.Mr. Dai also rushed to Rongguo Mansion in the early morning, locked up the elder sister's room with Zhao's mother, and watched over the elder sister's condition day and night.

The chaotic [-]th day finally passed. When Mr. Dai and Mrs. Zhao left the eldest sister's room with smiles on their faces, even Wang Xifeng, who had always been calm and strong, couldn't help but shed tears.Ping'er was even more weeping.

Mother Jia and the others were also very happy, and it happened that Yuanchun sent out lantern riddles from the palace, so Jiamu was so excited that she recruited these people to guess the lantern riddles.Daiyu didn't pay much attention to these things, but Xiangyun was very happy. He was already going to leave and go home, but he stayed for a few more days.

On this day, Jia Mu specially ordered people to make lanterns, and asked Baoyu and several girls to make riddles for everyone to guess.Jia Zheng heard it in the front yard and thought it was very elegant.Also came to join in the fun.

When everyone saw that Jia Zheng had arrived, they couldn't let go and became more restrained.Especially Baoyu.Even more like that good baby, sitting beside Jia's mother, never joking.Of course, Baoyu still minded that Xiangyun accidentally mentioned that when the eldest sister had acne in the morning, no one dared to visit her.

Jia Zheng saw that the room was full of people and it was very lively.Jia Lan, the only son who didn't see the eldest son alone, asked in surprise, "Where's Lan'er?" Li Wan replied from the side, "He's still reading, because the master didn't call him, so he insisted on not coming."

Jia Zheng was somewhat satisfied with his grandson's mannerisms, and said with a smile, "He's a temperous boy, so hurry up and ask someone to call him." Then Li Wan ordered the people around him to invite Jia Lan.Jalan is 11 years old this year.He is the head of the fourth generation of Rongguo Mansion.But because of Jia Zhu's early death, Mrs. Wang felt sad when she saw the child, so she couldn't help but neglect Jia Lan.At this time, seeing her husband called Jia Lan.Although I feel a little sorry, but I still can't get close.

But Mother Jia was very happy to let Jia Lan sit with her, and asked Madam Wang and others to open another table.Li Wan looked at his son from a distance, and sighed quietly.Although she wanted to ask the master to find a husband for her son, she remembered Baoyu's dislike of studying.Afraid that Mrs. Wang would not like it, she opened her mouth a few times.Never said it.

On the other hand, Xiangyun sat beside Daiyu and looked at Jia Lan with a smile: "Lan'er has begun to be enlightened. I have a set of hardcover Four Books. How about sending it to you tomorrow from Aunt Eryun?" Jia Lan's eyes were happy, but Still not showing it on the face, she said maturely: "Then Lan'er thanked Aunt Yun first."

Xiangyun couldn't help laughing, so he grabbed Daiyu and said, "Oh, look at this Lan'er, she looks like a little adult!" Daiyu stretched out her hand to pat her: "You just sit down, and I'll see how busy you are." Xiangyun couldn't help laughing, but when he saw that Jia Lan's face had turned red, he stopped joking.

Not long after, Yuanchun sent someone to bring the answers to the riddle and the rewards for everyone.Except for Yingchun and Jia Huan who failed to guess correctly, everyone else got rewards.Yingchun had always been indifferent, thinking it was just a joke and didn't care, but Jia Huan was a little embarrassed, his face was flushed, it was obvious that he cared.

Daiyu asked Zijuan to put away the rewards from Yuanchun, but looked at Yingchun curiously.These days, she often saw Yingchun walking around Wang Xifeng's yard, and even teaching her elder sister how to play chess.

This time the eldest sister had acne, no one went to visit, only Yingchun came quietly one night with Siqi.Although Wang Xifeng didn't ask Yingchun to visit her eldest sister, he even told her about it.

But Daiyu knew that Wang Xifeng missed Yingchun very much.So even now that Wang Xifeng is no longer at home, she will still take care of Yingchun from time to time.Daiyu actually doesn't know whether Yingchun is doing well now, but after careful calculation, Yingchun will be almost 17 years old this year, and I am afraid that the second brother Lian and sister Feng will help take care of this marriage.

The laughter in the room interrupted Daiyu's wild thoughts. Seeing that Jia Zheng had guessed many riddles, Daiyu couldn't help sticking out her tongue secretly.I'm really too idle, and I still care about my second sister's affairs.I don't know what happened to my brother on the battlefield?Thinking of this, Daiyu couldn't help sighing softly again, she really missed her brother and the herb garden.

Hearing Daiyu's sigh, Xiangyun asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Sister Lin? Are you unhappy?"

Daiyu shook her head: "I'm not unhappy, it's just a moment of emotion." Xiangyun pouted slightly: "What emotion do you have for guessing lantern riddles in such a lively manner! It really hurts the spring and the autumn." Daiyu smiled Nodding: "That's right, I just feel that the riddles made by our sisters are things that come together and fall apart, and I have some insights."

Reminded by Daiyu, Xiangyun went back to look at the riddles again, they were indeed noisy and unknown, even what the Xiande concubine did was not permanent.Seeing this, Xiangyun couldn't help sighing, wondering if such a riddle might be a little ominous.I can't help but secretly regret that I didn't think about it carefully, and I didn't even notice these.

She went to find Daiyu again, but found that Daiyu hadn't written anything at all, so she couldn't help asking: "Why didn't Sister Lin come out?" Daiyu smiled and said, "Isn't this still thinking about it? It's just that I have lost my mind at the moment. I didn't think of anything."

Xiangyun smiled and said: "Then don't do it, let's not guess any riddles, eat some fruits and chat, it's better than anything else." Daiyu nodded lightly, looked up at Jia Zheng's His expression was also a little hesitant. I'm afraid that his uncle has also noticed these things.

It is said that riddles should be answered. Could it be that these also allude to their sisters?
