The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 114 The Building Will Fall

Daiyu coughed suddenly.

After she came, she also wrote to her father, but he only replied to one letter. He only told her to stay here with her grandmother and aunt, hang out with her sisters, and not to miss him.

As a result, Daiyu didn't know what to write?

Her heart flew back to Suzhou.The snow there won't be so thick and the weather won't be so cold. In spring, the apricot blossoms will turn red early.

She was wearing a spring shirt and picking flowers in the back garden. The walls were covered with golden spring flowers, reflecting the white walls and black tiles. They stretched forward at high and low levels. The beauty of the water town was meandering in the gurgling water. .

In her life, she doesn't know if there will ever be a time to go back.

"I don't know what to write. If I write, I'm afraid that my father will worry, so I'd better... stop writing!" Daiyu said, with two crystal tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

"The girl has almost finished her medicine. Today, I went to ask someone in my wife's house to ask someone to call the imperial doctor for her, but she said that the old lady only asked the imperial doctor now. I'm afraid that the illness that she had so easily recovered from will relapse. .”

"It's time to seek medical advice. You're just fooling around!" Daiyu coughed.

Zijuan tried her best to soften her tone, "I went to the pharmacy to prepare medicine. Who knows, they said there was no good ginseng and asked us to wait. I was worried about when I would wait. I went to sister Ping'er and said that the house was too chaotic now. After a while, I asked Doctor Wang to come and see the girl, but it didn’t work, so I went outside to get some medicine."

Daiyu didn't expect that the house had become such a mess. She was thinking deeply when she heard Xue Yan say outside, "Second Master Bao is here!"

Daiyu pulled the quilt up to cover her shoulders. Then she saw Baoyu opened the curtain and came in. She must have been extremely cold. She rubbed her hands and asked, "Is my sister's illness getting better?"

"That's all!" Daiyu knew that her family didn't have time to hire a doctor for her now, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she asked, "It's so cold outside, why did you come here?"

"I came to see how my sister is doing!" He glanced at Daiyu and said with a smile, "Look, my sister's complexion is better than yesterday. How is my sister sleeping at night?"

"I managed to sleep for an hour or two last night, but why did you come to see me three times a day?"

Zijuan said from the side, "Second Master Bao, the girl is feeling uneasy. It's so noisy outside, but I don't see Second Master Bao worried."

Baoyu sat down on the edge of the bed and said nonchalantly, "No matter what, our food and clothing will not be cut off anyway. Why should we worry about this?"

Daiyu closed her eyes. She looked weak and leaned on the big pillow, dragging a handful of black hair beside the pillow. "I heard it's very dangerous. I was thinking about whether to go back to the south with brother Cong San." , you are here!"

When Baoyu heard "go back to the south", his heart suddenly poured a basin of cold water. He just lowered his eyes and stared at the brocade quilt in a daze.

Just then, Xiren came in and pulled him up, "Oh, you came here so early in the morning without washing your face. Hurry up, go back and wash your face. What does it look like?"

She picked up Baoyu and went over.

Zijuan brought the medicine and asked Daiyu to drink it. She also picked up a candied fruit to take away the bitter taste in Daiyu's mouth. Daiyu waved her hand and said, "Bring that poem over and let me have a look!"

Zicuckoo hurriedly brought over the poem, which was "Linjiang Immortal". It was originally a piece of snow-white rice paper, but it had been touched too much by people who were looking at it, and the corners had become rough.

Daiyu looked at it carefully and tasted it, and felt that the depression in her heart gradually disappeared.

I wonder what the third brother will do when he goes to the south this time.Who will you meet?

There will only be hatred between the two houses in the future, and they will never be as affectionate as before. From now on, I wonder if the third brother will still remember her?

What was his state of mind when he wrote the poem "Linjiang Immortal" to her that day?
Thinking about it, Daiyu burst into tears, covering her face with her handkerchief and crying.

Outside, someone came in like a gust of wind, with tears in his eyes, "Girl, what did you just say to our Baoyu? Just look at him, go back to the old lady, I don't care!"

Daiyu raised her head to look at the attacker, and saw that her face was full of anger, with tears stained, and her behavior changed drastically. She couldn't help but panic, and asked quickly what was going on?

Xiren cried, "I don't know what the girls said to that idiot. Now, his eyes are straight, his hands and feet are cold, and he has stopped talking. It doesn't hurt anymore when Mama Li pinches him. Most of them are dead."

Xiren cried, "Even Mother Li's words are useless. She's crying loudly there. I'm afraid she'll all die right now!"

When Daiyu heard this, she screamed, choked out all the medicine she had just taken, shook her intestines and searched her lungs, and coughed loudly for several times with the pain of blazing stomach and liver. He was panting and couldn't lift his head.

Here, Zicuckoo was also panicked. She hurriedly stepped forward and beat her back, and said to Xiren, "My girl didn't say anything. She just said that if the family is like this now, wouldn't the girl staying here cause trouble to the family? I was thinking about what to do. Don’t go back south.”

Xiren said, "My aunt, what kind of temperament does the second master have? How long has the girl been with him? Don't you know? What is wrong with the second master in treating the girl on weekdays? Sisters have been together for such a long time, now the girl Why bother saying that you are going? Even if you are going, there is no need to tell a sincere person like him."

Daiyu pushed Zicuckoo, "Go and take a look and see how he is doing. If something is wrong with him, I won't be able to survive!"

Zicuckoo hurriedly went to Baoyu. Xiren stood there for a while, woke up, and hurriedly followed.

Even Jia Mu got up and was staying there with Mrs. Wang and others. When Jia Mu saw Zicuckoo, her eyes burst into flames, "Damn little hoof, I ask you to serve me so well on weekdays, but you don't listen." , something like this happened again!”

Zijuan said hurriedly, "I didn't say anything, just a few naughty words."

Unexpectedly, when Baoyu saw Zicuckoo, he let out a cry and burst into tears.

When everyone saw it, everyone felt relieved. Jia Mu grabbed Zicuckoo, thinking she had offended Baoyu, so she pulled Zicuckoo and ordered him to beat her. Unexpectedly, Baoyu grabbed Zicuckoo and refused to let go, " If you want to go back to the south, take me with you."

Mrs. Wang said, "Why are you talking about going back to the south? Could it be that the eldest girl feels that there is no peace in the house now and has the idea of ​​​​going back?"

Daiyu happened to come over and heard this sentence. She held on to the door frame and felt a little unsteady.

Everyone had their backs turned to her and did not see her coming.

Zicuckoo lowered her head and said, "It's just a naughty word!"

Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "The house is in such chaos now, and we don't know what will happen tomorrow. If the eldest girl really wants to go back, it is right. It's easy for us to stay."

Jia Mu only sighed.

Daiyu quietly turned around, returned to her room as if she had come, sat on the bed, and was in a daze for a long time.

Xue Yan was young and knew that things were very bad at this time, so she huddled in a corner and shed tears.

Grandma Wang came in, took off Daiyu's cloak, put it aside, and whispered, "Girl, why don't you go and beg the third master? If you can follow the third master back to the south, there is still a master who can Rely on. What could be better than following my mother?"

Daiyu's tears rolled down her face, "I don't blame them. If the family wasn't like this, my aunt wouldn't have said such things."

Now that things have happened, things are better.

Something happened to my grandmother's roommate, and the whole family was implicated. From now on, it will be difficult for my grandmother to speak in this house. If she still stays here, what will happen in the future?
Daiyu nodded.

Xichun moved back to Jia's house. Before leaving, Yingchun and Tanchun came to see her off. However, they saw Xichun's black and white eyes full of unconcealable joy. Tanchun gently pinched her. His face said, "Are you so happy?"

"I'm not happy at all. It's over. I wonder if I'll miss you very much!"

The grievances of the previous generation have not affected this generation.

What's more, it was Jia Cong who suffered the loss from the beginning to the end, and he lost his mother. In the hearts of the girls, he deserves sympathy.

Tanchun said, "Okay, we'll wait for you to post."

Xichun's temper became more lively, she pursed her lips and smiled, watching the maids and women packing her boxes and cages.

When she came over, Jia Cong and Youshi were waiting at the second door. The carriage stopped. Jia Cong stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards Xichun, "Fourth sister, I will help you down!"

Xichun hesitated for a moment, then handed her hand to Jia Cong, held up the hem of her skirt, and jumped off the carriage.Her nanny said "Ouch" from behind, "The girl has sprained her foot!"

"You're fine, what's wrong with your leg?" Jia Cong said angrily.

The nanny had long heard about how powerful Jia Cong was. At such a young age, he could beat people to death, so she didn't dare to disobey him. She just smiled and said, "Second Master feels sorry for my sister. It's not too late for my sister to be happy. A girl’s house must have the rules of a girl’s house.”

"In my house, the master's words are the rules. The fourth sister is young, and if she does something improperly, my elder sister-in-law will say, you current people, just serve the good master. Don't be there all day long if you have nothing to do. Talking about it."

"Yes, yes!" the nanny said in fear.

Xichun felt that the ropes that bound her body suddenly loosened. She was originally worried about what would happen if she came over. Now she squeezed Jia Cong's hand tightly and looked at the scenery of the courtyard of Ningguo Mansion and those walking beside her. Jia Cong.

"Your second brother really feels sorry for you. When he heard that you promised to come over, he ordered people to clean up a courtyard next to me."

While they were talking, the three of them led a group of slaves to the courtyard where Xichun would live. There were three small rooms, one light and two dark, with winding corridors and a small flower garden in front of the door. Due to the season, there was only one circle. The evergreen dwarf trees used to enclose the border were still a little green, and the inside was bare and covered with white snow, but Xichun immediately had the idea of ​​planting flowers and plants in the future.

Compared to over there, where the three sisters were squeezed into three rooms, I don't know how much more spacious it was.

There was an empty plaque hanging on the door lintel of the Ming Room. Xichun looked at it curiously and asked, "Second brother, why is there no inscription on it?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "I'm not the owner of this yard. I don't know the owner's thoughts. I'm afraid that people won't like the name I chose. What should I do?"

Xichun was amused by his words and laughed. At this moment, a slight cat meow sounded. go.

A maid came out of the ear room, carrying a milk cat in her hand. It had orange fur and a small tail that was swaying and struggling. A pair of light brown eyes turned in horror, "I have found this little thing. It turned out to be hiding under the cabinet in the corner!"

"Give it to me, give it to me, don't kill it!" Xichun hugged the milk cat, turned to Jia Cong and asked, "Second brother, can I keep it?"

"You can take care of me if you like! Why do you ask me?"

Xichun really smiled this time. She pointed to the plaque above her head and said, "Second brother, I know what I want to name my yard."

"You can name it whatever you want, just don't call it Yihongyuan."

"Pfft!"

Youshi couldn't help but laugh, "Is this a place where people live, or is it a place where cats live? Is it called Mao'erju?"

Xichun was dressed in a bright red cloak, holding a little milk cat in her arms, standing between the green couplets and red pillars, with a pretty white face and a pair of clear eyes full of aura, looking at him with a scorching smile.

Jia Cong could not figure out why his sister had determined to become a nun since she was a child.

She is clearly still a caring girl who wants to raise cats.

"Then call it Maoerxuan!" Jia Cong said, "When you write out the words later, let someone make a plaque for you."

Youshi stayed here to help Xichun pack the boxes and cages. Xichun sat on the bed in the clinic, playing with her cat. Jia Cong took a look. Youshi and Xichun at this time were not as described in the book later. Just like the enemy.

Seeing Xichun's contentment, for some reason, Jia Cong felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. At that time, Xichun was only five years old and had the air of a child.

They only spent a quarter of an hour together, but the look in his eyes was full of attachment and trust. When he looked over, she would smile at him flatteringly.

Jia Cong felt a little sour in his heart. They were all descendants of the Duke of the Kingdom. They seemed to have no more honor than ordinary people, but in fact, they were just pitiful people.

Jia Cong raised his hand and rubbed Xichun's head gently, "Fourth sister is stubborn if she wants to eat anything. Tell the elder sister-in-law that if you have anything to do, tell the mothers-in-law directly. If anyone doesn't listen, some unruly slave will get involved. Just tell me or my sister-in-law, remember, in this mansion, the master’s words are the rules.”

Jia Cong's eyes swept across the maids and maids who were following him indifferently, "Although the family has sent out some people these days, I wanted everyone to get together and disperse, so I served Brother Zhen and Brother Rong." For his sake, he did not ask for money to redeem himself, but instead gave him money to settle down.

However, those who have served the sister-in-law and the girl, except those who have been rewarded, and those who have committed crimes that deserve to be expelled, will be killed, or at least silenced.Therefore, those who serve should serve well and do not have any thoughts in their hearts. "

"In this house, the master is the master and the slave is the slave. There is no such thing as indifference."

Even Youshi was surprised. Of course she understood the intention of Jia Cong's words. If the people serving around her and Xichun were not released by enshang, who knows what would be said outside and ruined their lives. reputation.

She just didn't expect that Jia Cong, despite his young age, strong skills and thoughtful thinking, was completely different from Jia Zhen in the past.

Naturally, Jia Zhen is the mud and Jia Cong is the cloud.

Youshi also realized Jia Cong's love and care for Xichun. After all, under the care of his mother, Jia Cong lived a bitter but sweet life for seven or eight years. , deserted, only growing up in the hands of a maid and a mother-in-law, without any elders to care about her, which is even more desolate.

Jia Cong was worried that Xichun would be controlled by the maids and women, so he beat her up.

"Second uncle, don't worry. Fourth sister will follow me. I will take good care of her."

"She is young, she can do whatever she wants, and there is no need to restrain her!"

Jia Cong confessed and left Maoerju first because he still had something to do.

When Xichun's maid entered the painting, she wanted to come to Xifu to pack some things. Tanchun and Yingchun pulled her to ask how Xichun was doing in Xifu, "Where do you live? Are you not used to it?"

"Thank you to the second and third girls for thinking about me. The girl was fine in the past. She lived in a front yard, right next to the grandma's yard. The girl got a cat when she went there, and the second master asked the girl to give her a place to live. After choosing a name, the girl chose a cat to live in, and was laughed at by the grandma."

Tanchun was always cheerful and laughed heartily. Yingchun, who was dull-tempered, couldn't help but laugh at this moment. "Why did the fourth sister choose such a tricky and weird name? Is it possible that the third brother also liked it?"

"The second master doesn't care about this. He said that the girl thought it was good, so he asked her to write it and find someone to make a plaque according to it."

"What kind of cat is it?" Tanchun felt itchy in her heart, but she also knew that she could only think about it. The old lady would definitely not agree to keep this cat or dog.

"A milk cat, the girl likes it!"

Thinking of Mr. Cong's cold temperament, Tan Chun noticed it and couldn't help asking, "Is it really nice for Fourth Sister to go there? Why are you so scared when I look at you?" What does it look like?”

Ru Hua hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not it. The girl is quite happy. We are the only slaves of several generations... The second master's rules are very strict, and the people who have been with us and the girl are quite scared."

"What are you afraid of? If you don't do anything wrong, Brother Cong will beat you and punish you at will?" Tan Chun is a sensible person and knows that there is no rule without rules. "You were here. The old lady is kind. , people are used to being idle, if you go over there and still do things according to the previous rules, I'm afraid you won't be able to, and you will have so many ideas in your mind."

His face turned red with embarrassment, and he shook his head and said, "No slave can do that."

"It's okay if you don't. Haosheng goes to serve the fourth girl, and also tells the fourth girl that Haosheng keeps the cat. Second sister and I will go see her later."

After entering the painting and leaving, Tanchun was thinking in his mind that it was said that the fourth sister was the most miserable among them. With such a miserable life experience, she would not know where she would be in the future. Who would have thought that she is the one who is missing now? benefit.

The third brother is the most considerate. If nothing else, you can see his character from the poems he wrote. He is also a person who is willing to take on things. If the fourth sister can be taken care of by him, she will be better than here in the future. Bian, I don’t know how much better it is!

This side, looking at it, is about to collapse.

Tanchun only regretted that she was not a man, but as a man, even if he could not establish a career early like his third brother, he would surely leave early. At that time, she had her own reasons.

It's a pity that she can only be detained in this backyard.

Grandma Wang went out of the mansion and came to Dongfu. She pointed out the name and wanted to see Jia Cong.

Hearing that it was Daiyu's nanny who was looking for her, Jia Cong hurriedly asked someone to bring her in. As soon as the woman entered the door, she knelt in front of Jia Cong and kowtowed, "Third Master, for the sake of my uncle and cousin. , save our girl!"

As he said that, he started crying!
　Happy Labor Day to you guys!
