The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Chapter 122

When Zhuang Wei led Xue Baochai away, Jia Baoyu's companions, who had been hiding aside in fright, swarmed up and lifted Jia Baoyu up in a blah, Yimeng's expression was ugly. Ask someone to come forward to help, and send Jia Baoyu and Li Ran back to Jia's house all the way.

Yimeng didn't like to be surrounded by many people when he went out, so the servants brought out, except for a few people who were close to him, were guarded elsewhere, so although Yimeng wanted to stop Zhuang Wei and Xue Baochai from coming down, no one was available. .

Even Yimeng himself was stopped by the "protective" attitude as before, and when he had to deal with it, Zhuang Wei and Xue Baochai had already walked a certain distance, and Jia Baoyu and Li Ran were very embarrassed, so naturally they took care of them first That's right, anyway, Xue Baochai will come to visit in person tomorrow, so it's good to talk to her when the time comes.

Ruxi is Yimeng's confidant brought from Qianxiang Kingdom, and she was extra caring and pampering towards her at the beginning, but after being close to the monk and revering the Tao, Yimeng's heart became more and more indifferent, and he treated Ruxi accordingly. became indifferent.But relatively, as long as he didn't cause big troubles, Yimeng still seldom cares about the old things.

As before, from being lost at the beginning to adapting well later, she found that as long as she didn't do something excessive in front of Yimeng, even if she was a little out of line, Yimeng would not punish her, let alone bully others , Laziness and slippery things like that.

As before, in front of Yimeng, she still looks loyal, but behind her back, she is domineering. There are few servant girls in the Princess Mansion who have not been bullied by her, but Yimeng doesn't care much about these things, and accidentally discovered It was a little bit of a sign, but it was fooled by Ru Xi's confession and tears. In the final analysis, she didn't take it seriously at all.

It was also because of Yimeng's indifference that she didn't know at all that she was no longer as loyal to her as before and now.

Ruxi's father was in charge of the Imperial Army of the Imperial City of Qianxiang Kingdom. Yimeng had been away for a few years, and he had already been secretly bought by Fu Sheng. He already had more than one daughter, so how could it be just because Ruxi was in Yimeng? Is Yimeng dead set on the side?

This time when the mission came, Ru Xi's father sent someone to make contact with Ru Xi. After talking to Ru Xi, Ru Xi hesitated for a few days, and felt that Yi Meng was no longer the master she was determined to follow. Thinking that if her father had meritorious service from Conglong, when Fu Sheng ascended the throne as emperor, her family would also be able to rise, and she would also have a better way out, so becoming a female official would definitely not be a problem.Besides, her family has taken refuge in Fu Sheng, so she has nothing to do, isn't she?Anyway, she wouldn't do anything to hurt Yimeng, so it wouldn't be a betrayal, right?

In fact, Ru Xi's father really didn't have too many demands on Ru Xi, except to prevent Yimeng from continuing to hate Qian Xiangguo as before, and by the way, to share some of Yimeng's daily whereabouts. Just pass the speech to them.

When Yimeng didn't realize it, she seemed to gradually become alienated.It's no wonder that as a princess of a country, if she doesn't do what she should do and cannot take responsibility, others will inevitably have to find another way out.

But Zhuang Wei and Xue Baochai both boarded the carriage of Minjing County Prince's Mansion, and Zhuang Wei's body was hollowed out by wine and sex, which made him even lazy to ride a horse now.

Zhuang Wei felt unhappy because of Jia Baoyu's "Sister Bao" twice, and stared at Xue Baochai with gloomy eyes. In his opinion, the relationship between the Jia and Xue families is so bad now, but Jia Baoyu still misses Xue Baochai. Sentient, this is very abnormal.

Xue Baochai was not happy in her heart, otherwise, with her considerate style of doing things, it would not be impossible to ask someone to help Jia Baoyu and Li Ran up and make a gesture, but because of Jia Baoyu's two ambiguous calls, she pushed herself to the ground. Zhuang Wei was on the cusp.Xue Baochai really felt that the Jia family was born to be at odds with him, and they didn't like what they did.

"This Jia Baoyu seems to have a very deep affection for you!" Zhuang Wei was a little drunk, and his words were very unpleasant.

Fortunately, Xue Baochai knew his temperament, but she was very calm, she did not show any timidity, but she glanced at him sideways, and said slightly annoyed: "My lord's words are so unreasonable. Jia Baoyu and I are cousins. Although I went to Rongguo Mansion with my mother back then, because Mrs. Jia loved and doted on him very much, I did meet her there a few times. Although I didn't know him well, everyone in the mansion was full of his temperament. You know, he never hesitates to call you 'good sister, good sister'. I know this too, and I always avoid him. How can I go overboard and control his mouth? It's the prince , I have been husband and wife with the late concubine for so many years, does the prince not know what kind of temperament this wife and brother is? If the prince blames me for his words and deeds, I will call for grievances."

When Zhuang Wei heard Xue Baochai mention Jia Yuanchun, he felt unhappy, and his complexion became even worse. He reprimanded: "Don't mention that bitch to me!" If it wasn't for her, how could he have only a sick son so far?Really annoying and hateful.

Seeing that Zhuang Wei's attention was easily diverted, Xue Baochai felt complacent, and hurriedly said softly, "It's Baochai who made a mistake, and she shouldn't be mentioned. Don't worry, my lord. It's just that the Jia family is always targeting my natal family's business now. In a few days, a business was disturbed, and even my brother was almost beaten up. That's all, the bad thing is the profit of that business. I originally planned to use it to buy gifts for the Emperor's Longevity Day, but now I just want to pay for it. I can go to another place to move as much as possible, and I don’t know if there will be time.”

Because Zhuang Wei regarded the Xue family as his own private property, he could share the same hatred with Xue Baochai, and felt that the Jia family's actions almost ruined the event of celebrating the emperor's birthday, and he couldn't bear it, so he said: "The Jia family is getting more and more serious. It’s outrageous, we should give them a little bit of trouble, so that I won’t be a weak person who calms things down.”

Xue Baochai nodded, leaned gently on Zhuang Wei, and sighed: "If it weren't for the prince to take care of me, I am afraid that my mother and elder brother would not be able to make it to this day. The foundation of the Xue family in Beijing is not as deep as that of the Jia family. Speaking of it, My natal family was fined and confiscated most of their property, and it was all caused by the Jia family. They didn't say to make up for it, but they blamed the death of the former princess on my head. When I was in the palace, they couldn't deal with me, so they took all their anger on my mother. And brother. My natal family lost the job of the imperial business and has no connections. I suffered a lot from the Jia family and lost a lot of money. It's a bit disgusting. If the prince can make them suffer, although I know it's wrong, I'm very happy, and it can also relieve my mother and brother, freeing up their hands to search for the gift of the Longevity Festival. Every day I worry about being framed by someone."

After hearing Xue Baochai's words, Zhuang Wei felt at ease, and hoped that he would not delay preparing the gift for the Longevity Festival, so he said: "Let's see this matter, please discuss it with your mother and elder brother. Be sure to prepare a good gift, Wanshou I can't let this king lose face in front of the Supreme Emperor." Zhuang Wei said, changing his posture to make himself sit more comfortably, but he raised his hand to caress Xue Baochai's smooth and tender chin, his skin is as creamy as fat, he is really a beauty.

Speaking of which, the preparation of gifts for the Longevity Day should have been handled by the concubine Xu, but Xu's scheming methods are not as good as Xue Baochai's. Her own dowry was used to make up for it, but it was Xue Baochai who took the money from the Xue family and managed it smoothly.Therefore, even though Mrs. Xu is rightly in charge of the housekeeper, she is still holding back everywhere. It is very difficult to give Zhuang Wei a satisfactory life. Instead, she always annoys him with small things, but Xue Baochai can manage her yard very well. , Let Zhuang Wei not have to worry about anything, just enjoy, it goes without saying where Zhuang Wei is willing to go.

After hearing Zhuang Wei's words, Xue Baochai naturally thanked Zhuang Wei and said, "Baochai will definitely not let the prince down." However, and she was born in a family of imperial merchants, she has a wide range of knowledge, and the things she buys for Zhuang Wei on weekdays are all excellent, Zhuang Wei also trusts her more than trusting Xu, such an important matter of preparing the longevity ceremony for the Supreme Emperor , naturally leave it to her to handle it, regardless of whether it will slap Xu in the face severely.

Xue Baochai was very concerned about this matter. After all, if she did it well, she wouldn't be afraid that others would not know that it was Xue Baochai's handwriting, so that people could see who is the most important person in this palace!

At that time, Xue Baochai was smug, Zhuang Wei thought about how to teach the Jia family a lesson, and in Jia's mansion, Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were also cursing Xue Baochai fiercely. They didn't dare to open their mouths to blaspheme, so they could only vent their anger on Xue Baochai.

Jia Baoyu was carried back to Jia's home, Jia's mother almost didn't come over, she hurriedly ordered someone to call for a doctor, but Yimeng was kind and considerate, and while she was asking someone to send Jia Baoyu back to her home, she had already sent someone to invite the doctor and then followed her Come, so not long after Jia Baoyu entered the door, the doctor arrived.

The doctor gave Jia Baoyu a diagnosis, and said that there was no problem, just rubbing the bruise with medicinal wine, but Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were worried in every way, so the doctor then prescribed some tonics for nourishing qi and blood, and told Jia Baoyu to take it.

After confirming in every possible way that Jia Baoyu was fine, Jia's mother remembered Li Ran and asked the doctor to see Li Ran.

Li Ran was carried back to his room as soon as he entered the door. He was more seriously injured than Jia Baoyu. He was younger and weaker. After a long delay, he fell ill, and the doctor carefully prescribed it. Medicine, and told a lot of words.It's just that the people serving Li Ran didn't care at all. They knew that Li Ran was going to become a monk, and Li Ran usually didn't care about things. own business.The servants who took the money to grab the medicine quietly withheld the money and seized the second-class inferior medicinal materials. It took a long time for good and bad effects, until Jia Baoyu recovered alive and kicked, and then he asked for the best tonic from Jia Mu to give him, and it was gradually recovered.

This is a later story, let's not mention it for the time being, let's say that the next morning, after Xue Baochai woke up and washed up, he carried his son Zhuang Yun and set off to Yimeng's Princess Mansion to see the ethereal teacher.

Zhuang Yi felt a little uncomfortable last night, coughing for a long time, and should not have gone out today, but Xue Baochai thought that if he missed this time, he would not be able to see Master Kongling again next time, so it would be better to see Zhuang Yi than at night After a while, he was cruel and heartless, and still carried him out of the door.
