dream of red mansion

Chapter 602 Concealment
That night, after goingssiping with Mother Jia for an hour or two, Grandma Liu really stayed in Rongguo Mansion. Wang Xifeng even arranged for someone to wait on her for meals and baths.

Because Jia's mother said that she would take her into the garden tomorrow, so Wang Xifeng arranged it very thoughtfully.

During the period, how she, a village woman, adapted to the living habits of the Duke's Mansion, or what jokes she made, we will not go into details.

It only said that after Ping'er returned home, he told Wang Xifeng what happened in the afternoon and what Grandma Liu had guessed.Wang Xifeng thought about it for a while and said: "Baoyu has never had any small things. In the future, the wife will blame her and the old lady will complain. You and Zhou Rui's family will go and have a look later. If there is nothing wrong, then let's talk about it."

Ping'er took the order, came back half an hour later, and said: "The attacker said, nothing happened, but I saw that the people in that room were all secretive. When I went, Baoyu was still wearing a middle coat. I think it is true that he is sick, but they insist on not admitting it, and I can't say much about it. I told them to take care of him carefully, and then I came back."

Wang Xifeng nodded and said: "No wonder we were joking in Rongqing hall today, Baoyu didn't come, and said that Mr.'s homework was not finished. I wondered why he suddenly became eager to learn. It turned out that he wanted to hide his illness, but he didn't know why."

Ping'er worried: "Do you want to go back to the old lady and wife?"

Wang Xifeng thought for a while, and said: "No, the old lady is probably going to sleep now, so it's not easy to disturb her now. If I tell my wife, she probably won't feel at ease. If I run again this late at night, it will definitely make everyone happy. You know, it's not beautiful. It's better to wait until tomorrow morning, and I will go back to the old lady myself."

Ping'er thought so, so she waited for Wang Xifeng to go to bed.

The next day, Jia's mother got up very early and sent someone to call Grandma Liu. Grandma Liu couldn't sleep, and she also got up early. As soon as Mrs. Wang and Li Wan arrived, Jia's mother would take people to visit the garden.

Hearing from Wang Xifeng that Baoyu might be ill, although Jia's mother didn't think it would be a serious illness, she was still nervous, so the first stop when she entered the garden was Yihong Courtyard.

Before Jia's mother arrived at Yihong Courtyard, a servant girl ran over and said, "The old lady heard that Master Bao is not well, so she wants to come over and have a look."

Besides, when everyone in Yihong Academy heard the news, they didn't bother to argue about who sent someone to report the letter, they were a little panicked.

I just didn't realize the seriousness before, but now that I think about it, if Mother Jia and others knew about Jia Baoyu's specific matter, how would they explain it?The key is that there is another crime of concealment and non-reporting!What's more, except for a few people in the courtyard, no one else knew what was wrong with Jia Baoyu at all. They only saw Xiren who were frowning and mysterious these days.

"What should I do? The old lady is coming. If she knows, what will happen?"

Jia Baoyu panicked.In addition, he applied the medicine brought back by Mingyan yesterday, but there was no improvement in the result, and he was already in a bad mood.

Xi Ren, who had always been calm, was also a little flustered. Jia Baoyu didn't get sick once or twice. Sometimes, as long as he took care of a little ailment and ailment, Jia's mother and others would not blame him, and would reward him.But this time, it seemed a little different, she faintly felt something.

Seeing Jia Baoyu jumping around anxiously in the room, Xiren had no choice but to say, "You applied the medicine yesterday, how do you feel today, is it better?"

Jia Baoyu ignored it at all, and continued: "The old lady doesn't know where she got the news, so she has to figure out a way to hide it from them, yes, to hide it from them!

Xiren, hurry up, help me get dressed, if the old lady asks, just say that I just caught a cold yesterday and I've taken the medicine, don't let them know. "

Jia Baoyu wanted to die.

If the sisters and maids all knew that he had that disease, then he would rather die immediately!

Xiren has no better way, he can only think that he can hide a step.

When Jia Mu and others arrived, they swarmed into Jia Baoyu's bedroom.

Wang Xifeng stopped at the door.She thought to herself: If Baoyu is really ill and he hides it in every possible way, there must be a reason.Although I was worried about him, I told the old lady, but if the old lady was concealed by him, and when he found out the truth and blamed me, the old lady and the wife would think that I was troublesome. Wouldn't I offend people on both sides?

She beckoned Zhou Rui's family and Zhang Cai's family over, and after a few instructions, Zhou Rui's family and Zhang Cai's family each took a woman with them.

"Old ancestor, madam, why are you here?"

Jia's mother looked at Jia Baoyu, her doubts flashed away, she looked all right.While heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, he said: "This grandma is a relative of my wife's natal family. She arrived at the house yesterday. I will take her to visit the garden together today."

Jia Baoyu greeted him respectfully.

This is the basic etiquette of everyone, respectful and courteous.

Grandma Liu couldn't help it, and didn't dare to reach out to help, so she had to hide behind the mandarin duck.

When this day came, she felt that the maid next to Jia Mu had the best character, obviously the top maid, but she was very kind to her.

Mother Jia was very happy to see her, and asked, "I heard from your elder sister Feng that you were sick. My wife and I were so anxious that we came here to see you."

Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "No, it's just a little cold. They coughed a few times, which made them anxious and shouted to go back. I said there's no need to disturb the old lady because of such a trivial matter, and don't let them go back. Last night I took the medicine, and I'm fine this morning."

Mrs. Wang then said: "Nonsense, is this a joke? They don't come back when they have something to do. It is their duty to ask them to serve you. Even if you are afraid of disturbing the old lady, you should send someone to tell me." , the old lady asked, so I can answer for you, and I won’t let the old lady worry about this.”

Jia Baoyu even said that he knew he was wrong.

Jia Mu said: "Forget it, since it's fine, let's go shopping in the garden together."

Just at this time, Zhou Rui's family went to Wang Xifeng's ear and said a few words. Wang Xifeng's complexion changed, and she hurriedly called Jia Mu.

"What else is there?" Mother Jia asked her.

Wang Xifeng thought about it, and still told Jiamu.

Jiamu's eyes widened and she said, "Really?"

Wang Xifeng looked at Zhou Rui's family, and Zhou Rui's family said: "Go back to the old lady, the things are in the kitchen over there."

Jia Mu hit her crutch and said, "Bring it here!"

She suddenly changed color, and everyone didn't know the reason, and they didn't dare to ask, so they stood around anxiously, only Zhou Rui's family went out, and then a few women came in carrying medicine pots and holding medicine residues.

When Xiren saw it, he suddenly lost his mind.Only then did he want to hide the truth from Jia's mother, so he hid the unused medicine and the medicine Mingyan brought in yesterday, but forgot to dispose of the traces of boiling medicine for Jia Baoyu a few days ago.

Mother Jia didn't say a word, and she had a woman beside her to check.Then he said: "Old lady, most of them are detoxification and heat dissipation medicines. Judging from the dosage, it has been at least three or four days..."

Mother Jia glared at Jia Baoyu, then coldly glanced at Xi Ren and the others, and all the maids she had seen knelt down.

Mother Jia didn't ask any more.These servant girls were so bold that they dared to lie in public, so she searched for the answer by herself: "Search for me! I want to see what you are trying to hide!"

Mrs. Wang was also shocked. Looking at the two piles of medicine residues, she knew that someone must be sick in this courtyard.It's definitely not an ordinary disease to let them hide it like this.

If this happened to Baoyu...!Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Baoyu, although she was frightened, but seeing that his face was normal before, it was probably not him!Then she wants to see, who is sick and wants to hide it from the truth!

Therefore, together with the mother-in-laws around her, they quickly ransacked Jia Baoyu's bedroom!

During this time, Jia Baoyu was speechless except for a flustered expression on his face.
