Winning every step of the Red Mansion

Chapter 143

143

Mrs. Wang took Baoyu back to her room, and the maid who followed along the way didn't even dare to breathe, and waited on her with extra care.Madam Wang suddenly changed her face, and none of the crowd wanted to bump into the muzzle of the gun.

After entering the house, the more Mrs. Wang looked at the jade brought by Baoyu, the angrier she became, so she ordered the nurse to pick the jade and put it aside.Unexpectedly, the nanny had just picked the jade, and the precious jade started to cry. Mrs. Wang was even more angry when she saw this. It was just a piece of jade left over by others. Why are you so rare? I don't want you to take it.

But Jia Baoyu didn't know what Mrs. Wang was thinking, and naturally she was crying and making noise according to her own temperament.Mrs. Wang was upset when she heard this, so she asked the nurse to carry Baoyu down, leaving the piece of jade at hand alone.The more I looked at it, the angrier I became, so I threw it into a box and left it alone.

The maid Cuiyun came in to serve tea, Mrs. Wang took a sip and said that the tea was too hot and she dropped the cup, and ordered her to deliver it again.Cuixing knew that Mrs. Wang was angry, so she intentionally had a fit and asked someone to resolve it. Naturally, she didn't dare to say anything, so she went to make tea again as ordered, but this time Mrs. Wang disliked the taste of the tea again, so it was a good meal When the attack occurred, everyone dared not speak.

Yuan Chun came to visit his wife, and when he entered the room, he saw that the room was kneeling on the ground. He was looking at Mrs. Wang's angry face, although she didn't know what it was, but she also knew that it was Mrs. Wang who did not know why to make things difficult for everyone, so she hurriedly tried to persuade her Said: "This is not a year or a festival. Could it be possible to kneel down and beg for money from my wife? Let's leave soon. I will talk to my wife for a while. I won't delay you to come and beg for it later. Let's all go."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Yuan Chun's words to rescue them.Stealing another look at Mrs. Wang, she saw that she hadn't had an attack, and quickly retreated out.Cuiyun went out of the house and put down the gauze curtain, sighing in her heart: "The eldest sister is here, otherwise I don't know how I will be treated by Mrs. Wang! It's also lucky, this eldest lady doesn't follow his wife's temper at all. Otherwise, I don’t know how much hardship everyone in the courtyard will suffer.”

Seeing that the maids and mothers-in-law were all out, Yuan Chun asked, "What's your wife doing today? It's really not appropriate to get angry in this hot weather. Why don't I go and scoop up a bowl of mint lily ice bean porridge for my wife?" Get out of here."

Mrs. Wang suppressed the anger in her heart when she heard Yuan Chun's words at this time: "Now the servants in this mansion have their eyes on the top of their heads. If it is not rectified, the sky will be turned upside down in two days. You don't know what to do. Along with them, how many of these people are loyal to protect the Lord?"

Yuan Chun understood Mrs. Wang's temperament, knowing that she said this without going into details, so she knew that his wife was deliberately punishing her servants to vent her anger, frowned slightly, and persuaded: "Everyone who doesn't know that my wife used to eat fast and recite Buddha, Yuan Chun today Let’s make amends to the wife for them, the good and bad wives are magnanimous and don’t pursue it anymore.”

Hearing what Yuan Chun said, Mrs. Wang also nodded, and in a blink of an eye she saw the food box Yuan Chun brought into the house and said, "It's also hot today, and I just ate hot tea, and my stomach seems to be on fire. The cold porridge you mentioned But have you learned something new in the past few days?"

Yuan Chun laughed when he heard this, and opened the food box and took out a small pastel bowl to Mrs. Wang: "Madam is amazing, she can guess right. Madam, how does it taste?"

Mrs. Wang saw that her daughter was filial, and most of the previous unhappiness was gone.I took a sip with my hand, it was sweet and delicate, cool to the stomach, and fragrant in the mouth, it was the most refreshing.She nodded in praise and said: "It is indeed good. Now that the eldest sister has calmed down and put in some work, it is very good."

"My wife praised me a lot. I made purple rice and kidney bean pastry a few days ago. I gave it to the old lady to taste and said that I was undercooked. Today's porridge has my wife's words, so I feel relieved."

When Yuan Chun mentioned Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang was naturally displeased.But my daughter was naturally reluctant to vent her anger, and dragged Qidao to half confide and half complain: "Today, when I went around the garden, I met Lian'er and saw Baoyu's jade. After listening to him, I realized that this jade was actually a piece of hand. "

Yuan Chun is a smart person, once he heard what Mrs. Wang said, he knew why Mrs. Wang was angry this time.I couldn't help sighing in my heart, the old lady has always been fair in dealing with things, and the dividends of Fang Shu are all born as soon as she is born, let alone a piece of jade?This is naturally the old lady begged for a lot of money for all the children, and the wife can get angry for a while because of this.This is too worthless.But as a daughter, she couldn't blame her mother, so she could only persuade her: "Madam, did you remember that the old lady specially rewarded me with a golden lock when I was born, and there were a few auspicious words on it? I thought I was the only one who had a golden lock." , I didn’t see her hang up one until the second sister was full moon. I asked the old lady for the reward. I think the old lady bought this thing for the sake of her children. She wants to keep her safe, so she only has one.” Yuan Chun paused and said, “But Which of these people is the baby name given by the old lady, and only Baoyu is the only one. Sending jade is also called Baoyu, as precious as jade, which shows that the old lady likes it very much."

Yuan Chun's words were ingenious, Mrs. Wang thought it made sense after hearing this, after all, if there was jade, it would be easy to attract people's tongues if the big house had to be only given to the second house.The original resentment has disappeared by now.Pulling Yuan Chunyou to talk for a while, that's all.

Yuan Chun went back to his room and let everyone go by themselves, he wanted to be quiet and quiet.Others don't know what's on his mind, but Yuan Chun himself is very clear, because what happened today has aroused the melancholy in his heart that has been suppressed for a long time.

No matter whether this daughter's family was born in a wealthy family or an ordinary family, the range she can touch is nothing more than knitting women's reds on the side of the pot and stove. Those who are better like myself can read books and practice calligraphy, but they are of no great use in the end, but It's just to relieve boredom.Even if there is a thousand things in his heart, in the end, he is just obeying his parents' order to care for his husband and teach his children.This kind of life seems easy, but it is like a thin thread that binds the body, slowly wearing away this temperament.When I thought that after a few years, like my wife, I would get angry if I gave a piece of jade to someone and didn't give it to anyone, and I felt very desolate.But it's useless to think about it. Seeing that the old lady is so capable, many things can't go according to her own wishes.I don't know what will happen to me in the future.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Yuan Chun took out Lu Fangweng's "Jiannan Poetry Draft" and read it again. When he read the sentence "Talking about the sky at night with palpitations, the poetic feeling is just in the drunken soul", he couldn't help but shed two tears.Even in this life, if one day I can ride my horse and whip around to see around, it will not be a waste of time in the world.Yuan Chun closed the book and fell into a deep sleep.

Baoyu lost his jade and cried for a long time. I don't know if he was tired from crying or for other reasons, so he fell into a deep sleep.Seeing that she didn't cry, Nanny Li also let out a sigh of relief.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Baoyu had a fever, and her small body was terribly hot. Nanny Li was frightened and got up quickly to report to Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was also anxious when she heard this, but she couldn't help it, where and how to find the doctor in the middle of the night.He took Baoyu to have a look, and saw that his face was flushed red, his body was hot, his water and milk couldn't get in, his hands and feet were twitching constantly, and his breath became weak.Mrs. Wang hastily asked someone to wring out the veil and apply it to her forehead.But after a lot of tossing, it didn't work. Mrs. Wang cried again in anxiety.

On the contrary, a woman beside Mrs. Wang said: "It doesn't look like a disease. I went to the garden today. My brother is young. I'm afraid I bumped into something. If there is something to drive away evil spirits, come to town , might be better."

After what the woman said, Mrs. Wang remembered that piece of jade. Jia Mu said that it was placed in front of the Buddha after asking an eminent monk to recite scriptures.Busily rummaged around, turned out the things, and brought them back to Baoyu.

Strange to say, after the jade belt was put on, the hands and feet of the precious jade did not twitch like before. This made Mrs. Wang feel hopeful, and she recited the Buddha several times.After staying up in the middle of the night, the heat in the body also subsided a lot. During the period, I woke up once, drank some milk, and fell asleep smoothly.Only then did Mrs. Wang heave a sigh of relief.He also blamed himself secretly, why bother to compete for superiority and superiority, this is obviously to keep the child safe, and he just wants to take care of it, why should he make such a fuss.

Seeing that he was getting better gradually, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.Just then the old woman said again: "My brother is still young, so he is indeed easy to bump into. This poor family often gives the child a humble name, and asks him to support him well. But the old lady gave the brother's baby name in the mansion. It is honorable. , it’s better to go to the temple to send your name to keep your brother safe.”

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang repeatedly said yes, and hurriedly asked the woman where there was a suitable temple to send her name.

The woman rolled her eyes and said, "There is a Lingshan Temple outside the city. It is said that it is the most effective. I know a person in that temple called Ma Daopo. Why don't I invite her to my wife tomorrow, and my wife will ask her to make a decision." .”

Mrs. Wang naturally agreed after hearing this, and the woman will handle it herself, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Wang went to report to Jia Mu that Baoyu didn't know what happened last night. Fortunately, she took the jade rewarded by Jia Mu, so it was safe.I thought to myself that this child was born rich and has a rich name, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to raise, so I might as well go to the temple to send his name to ask for safety.

After hearing Madam Wang's words, Shi Fei'er really didn't know what expression to use to respond.Don't allow this matter, it seems that I don't love my son enough, Madam Wang can't guarantee that she won't turn against her.Sure enough, isn't it obvious that Mrs. Wang is digging a hole for herself?What kind of good thing is Ma Daopo?The godmother who bears Baoyu's name can take money from Aunt Zhao to use witchcraft to terrorize the two.What kind of vicious people are these!

Shi Fei'er thought for a while and said: "If you go to burn incense and pray for blessings, it's your parents' wish. I think it's okay. There is no such case in the family. It's not good to open it alone. I also know that you are eager to protect your children. Why don't you do this? Burning incense and praying for blessings, Qian Gongzhong will come out together, so that the children and heirs in the Youfu will be safe. If you send your name, each courtyard will do it alone."

Shi Fei'er thought about Mrs. Wang's love of money, so if she suggested it this way, she should have chosen the burning incense in the expenses.Who knows that Mrs. Wang was displeased when she heard Jia Mu's words. She was so rich but she was reluctant to spend half a cent on Baoyu, so she gritted her teeth and said, "The old lady always loves Baoyu, but after all, there are rules in the house, so it's not good." Make an exception. After all, the cost is not too much, and the daughter-in-law can save it. The daughter-in-law just puts a name on Baoyu, as a wife of her own heart, so she doesn't have to spend money on the job."

Shi Feier choked on these words enough, Shi Feier secretly resented: Alright.I'm stingy, I'm stingy.I can't stop you if you are willing to be fooled. Sooner or later, you will regret it.Jia Baoyu, don't blame me if you are unlucky in the future, I stopped you early, but your mother didn't listen!
