The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 154 Love Daiyu
Everyone knows that Xifeng is talking about Daiyu.

Mrs. Wang had a strange look on her face, thinking that her capable sister-in-law died at such a young age, leaving only a single seedling. The old lady had to take her to the Rongguo Mansion and beat her. She knew very well what the idea was.

Speaking of which, she had to thank Jia Cong for this. If Jia Cong hadn't made such a fuss, she wouldn't have been able to drive Daiyu away. If it had been like this for a long time, maybe what would have happened to her silly son.

However, in the end, she would not agree to let her son marry Daiyu, an orphan girl. At worst, she would let her play with her son for a few years, and the loss would not be her son's.

Baoyu was stunned for a while before he realized that Sister Feng was talking about Daiyu. His round face like a full moon suddenly looked sad. Sister Lin ignored him anymore. He went to Dongfu several times, but she never stopped. I was stopped at the second door.

The people in Dongfu are very fierce, and they all look very ferocious. He went there again after school before, and was scolded by Jiao Da, so he didn't dare to tell anyone.

How can he get Sister Lin to accompany him as much as before?

Mrs. Wang saw that her son, who was originally very happy, became so soulless when talking about Daiyu, and her hatred for Daiyu became even deeper.

Only then did Jia Mu remember that Daiyu had not been here for several days, and hurriedly said to Xifeng, "Go to Dongfu and see if your sister Lin is in good health? I still remember that after winter, she I feel like I'm out of breath, are you sick again?"

At the beginning, she had her own difficulties when she wanted to send her granddaughter away. This must have hurt Yu'er's heart.

Xifeng said hurriedly, "Ancestor, don't worry, I'm going to take a look first. I heard that Sister Lin's body and bones are much better. Maybe it's because it's cold and the cat is in the house and won't come out."

Tanchun stood up and said, "Sister Feng, I'll go with you."

Baoyu also said hurriedly, "I'll go too. I haven't seen Sister Lin for several days."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said to her son, "Baoyu, from now on you should not call me Sister Lin, but Cong's daughter-in-law. She is your sister-in-law."

Baoyu seemed to be stunned. His eyes were straight and his eyeballs were motionless. The sweat on his forehead rolled down. Xifeng was startled when he saw it and shouted, "Baoyu, what's wrong with you?"

Only then did the old lady and Mrs. Wang panic. They rushed forward, pinched the person, and poured water. After a lot of trouble, Baoyu couldn't wake up, but Xifeng shouted, "Baoyu, Sister Lin is here!"

"Where is it? Where is Sister Lin?" Baoyu finally woke up and looked around, but did not see Sister Lin. Tears fell, "Sister Lin will never pay attention to me again!"

Tan Chun's handsome eyebrows were knitted together, and Ruifeng had an incomprehensible look in his eyes. He took a step forward, about to say something, but saw the indifference and disgust in Mrs. Wang's eyes that had no time to dissipate. She pursed her lips. She pursed her pink, plump lips and lowered her head.

"Oh, this is just like a child. You want Sister Lin to accompany you? Come on, I'm going to find Sister Lin. You follow me and see if Sister Lin pays attention to you?"

Xifeng smiled fiercely and took Baoyu's hand, and Baoyu became happy.

The attacker wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief, and took the cloak to help him put it on diligently and considerately. He stood on tiptoes and put the hood on his head. He also asked the mother-in-law who was following him not to forget to give him a hood. Change the charcoal in Mr. Bao's hand stove. Don't just focus on drinking and forget to add charcoal to Mr. Bao, which will make him very cold.

After they left, Mrs. Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said to Jia Mu, "This girl Xiren is quite good. Since she followed Baoyu, I have less to worry about."

Nowadays, although Mrs. Wang dare not be unfilial to Jia Mu, she does more superficial work than before. Jia Mu also knows it very well. She is good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, as long as she can show off her face That’s it.

The former dynasty and the harem are inseparable, and the same goes for the harem. The word "filial piety" can't do much, especially after the Jia family suffered such a disaster. If they want to regain control of the affairs, they have to find other ways to make up for it.

"What's going on with the Xue family? Didn't Cong'er have a war in the past? Why is he still involved with that child of the Xue family?" Jia Mu asked, but she felt in her heart that the Xue family was in the hands of the killer. , that’s what you deserve.

"I'm talking about competing with our second master Cong for an oiran in the flower house. That kid Pan'er usually brings a few followers with him when he goes out. Brother Cong is surrounded by soldiers. Besides, he is a third-rank military attache of the imperial court. Really? When we go to the Yamen, even if Pan'er is reasonable, it becomes unreasonable."

Jia Mu also knew that there was something wrong. Anyway, it was not her side that was suffering at the moment. She couldn't get a true answer from her, so she simply stopped asking.

The weather was getting colder and the New Year was approaching. Daiyu received a letter from Jia Cong from Jiangnan and was sitting in the inner study reading it.

On Yuxue's face, two smoky eyebrows were frowned slightly. As she read further, the words revealed every inch of lovesickness, and two pieces of red cloud gradually climbed up her jade-like cheeks, unstained and Zhu's lips pursed slightly, but the corners of her lips were raised high.

Brother Cong seems to be a cold and cold person, but in fact, he always talks about things behind his back. She is the only one who knows about his temperament.

She was extremely happy to learn that Jia Cong could return to Beijing after the new year. They had been together for three years, and once they separated, they were deeply in love with each other. This lovesickness, just as what Jia Cong said in his poem, was on the top of her eyebrows and in her heart. .

"Grandma, the second door said that the second grandma of the Xifu came here with the second master and the third girl Bao. They said they came to visit grandma on the old lady's order." Zicuckoo walked in with brisk steps.

"Please come in quickly!" Daiyu hurriedly put away Jia Cong's letter, put it in a small rosewood box, put it in a drawer, and then stood up.

As soon as she entered Ningxi Hall, she saw the maids at the door had opened the curtain cage. passed.

"Sister Feng, Second Master Bao, third sister, please sit down quickly!" Daiyu said with a smile.

It was a bit cold. Baoyu rubbed his hands and came forward. He walked up to Daiyu, tilted his head and looked Daiyu up and down, with a deep smile on his round face. "My sister looks good," she said. Have you been eating well recently? Did you sleep well? "

Daiyu felt that all the hairs on her body were standing on end. She covered her face with a handkerchief, took two steps back calmly, and sat down on the Arhat bed. She was filled with shame and anger, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Bao. Please forgive me. The second master told the old lady that everything was fine with me!"

This is what Jiang Baoyu said. The excuse was asked by the old lady. They both look better. Otherwise, it would spread that Jia Cong was not here and Baoyu cared so much about his sister-in-law. People outside didn't know Baoyu's temperament. It was a rumor. Rumors can drive her to death.

Baoyu was pretty good elsewhere. He was very talented in being obedient. His expression suddenly turned gloomy. "Although the old lady also cares about my sister, she doesn't allow me to not care about her. Could it be that my sister has forgotten that you were there in the past?" , the two of us had dinner at the same table in the old lady’s room..."

When Xifeng heard that something bad was going to happen, Daiyu today was different from before. She was obviously alienated from them. If the people outside knew that his beloved was being bullied by them in the capital, they would not know that trouble would be caused. What's it like?

"Baoyu, how long ago did this happen? At that time, Sister Lin was only six or seven years old. She was a child. She only stayed with us for two months before she was taken to the south by Brother Cong."

When Xifeng said this, no matter how sad Baoyu was, he was dejected and said to Daiyu, "Brother Cong has been away to the south for four or five years. I don't know what is going on now. When will he come back?"

Speaking of Jia Cong, a smile appeared on Daiyu's face, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were dyed a touch of honey, and she said with a smile, "Thanks to Sister Feng for caring about me, I just sent Xin'er, saying that I will be back after the new year. "

"That's great! You two haven't seen each other since you got married. You won't leave again after you come back, right?" .

Daiyu's snow-like cheeks were round and plump. In the past few years, she had seen her growth. Under her smoky eyebrows, her eyes were full of lovesickness. She shook her head slowly, "I don't know. , Brother Cong rarely talks to me about this."

"That's right, even if the men talk about these things in the court, how can we women understand? By the way, when I came here, I heard from the second wife that Brother Cong was having a bad time with the Xue family in Jinling. , has Brother Cong told you about this matter?"

Daiyu knew that Xifeng's visit was mainly for this matter. It was difficult for her to make a trip in this snowy day.

At this moment, I heard the maid opening the curtain outside saying, "Grandma and the girl are here!"

After Xichun arrived in Dongfu, since she was the only girl here, when people in Xifu talked about her as the fourth girl, the servants in Dongfu just called her girl.

"Fourth sister is here!" Tan Chun stood up quickly and saw Youshi and Xichun coming hand in hand.

Youshi has just passed the age of flowers, and because she is a widow, she is not well-dressed, but she has good looks, a fair and smooth face that is slightly plump, and bright almond-shaped eyes, with a calm and peaceful expression. It is enough to see that Youshi has been in the spotlight in these years. How good things are in Dongfu.

"My eldest sister-in-law is here! My sister is here too. It's cold. How about some snow skiing on the way here?" Daiyu also got up. "I heard that Feng Yatou came with Second Master Bao and Third Sister. The Fourth Sister clamored to come over, so I came with her." Youshi rarely leaves the hospital, so she said this.

"My eldest sister-in-law doesn't go to our place. She just likes to stay at home alone. What's the good thing?" kind.

How could she not know the reason why Youshi never went out or went to Xifu?At first Lian Er came over and rushed to the backyard. Jia Cong directly beat all the women on the second door to death with a cane. When she heard about this later, she was so ashamed that she was extremely envious of You. After losing her husband, she found a capable brother-in-law.

It just happened to take advantage of her heart. These words were just words for the occasion.

Youshi just smiled and said, "It's freezing cold and I'm too lazy to walk around. When you go back, help me say hello to the old lady. I'll go say hello to the old lady another day!"

"That's easy to say. The old lady still cares about you, but she is always thinking about you!"

Youshi smiled and then asked, "You just talked about Brother Cong, what happened in the south?"

You's current stable and prosperous life is all thanks to Jia Cong, so how can she not care about it? She often asks Daiyu some questions, knowing that Jia Cong is good in Jiangnan, she can feel at ease.

Without Jia Cong, how could she have such a comfortable life today? She would not be able to get out of this house, and there would be no place for her to stay. I'm afraid the grass on the grave would be so tall now!
"Sister Feng just said that the second wife was asking. Brother Cong had a dispute with the Xue family's uncle in Jinling and asked me if I knew what happened?" Daiyu said, knowing that since the second wife asked, she would It's not just about asking about the situation, there must be a reason.

Baoyu thought about it and said, "I heard from my wife that Brother Cong and Brother Xue were competing for a maid in the flower house, and there was a rift. This time Brother Xue was competing for a maid, and Brother Cong took this opportunity to seize Xue. Brother, I said it was Brother Xue who beat someone up and put Brother Xue in jail."

As soon as he said this, the entire Ning Xi Hall fell silent, and everyone's expressions looked a bit strange.

Who does this say Jia Cong is?Moreover, in front of these people, why did the oiran even say it?
Daiyu frowned, with a hint of boredom in her eyes. She looked at Baoyu, and her weak voice was firm, "Second Master Bao, did your wife say that?"

"Ah?" Baoyu was puzzled. He just stated a fact.

"You said that Brother Cong was competing with Uncle Xue family for an oiran? But when Brother Cong wrote to me, he clearly said that he had an appointment with someone to discuss something at Yanyu Tower. When Uncle Xue came up, he was very disrespectful to him and even used He threatened him, saying that his uncle was the military governor of Beijing and his uncle was the Duke of Rongguo, so there was a dispute and a rift."

Xifeng was dissatisfied and said to herself that she just asked Daiyu about the situation of brother Cong in Jiangnan. What did Daiyu say?

Youshi said hurriedly, "Yes, how could Brother Cong be that kind of person? When the younger brothers and sisters came back, they brought back all the maids who were with Brother Cong. Brother Cong didn't even have any maids to serve him. A man in Jiangnan is different from other civil servants. He is going to the battlefield to kill the enemy. How can he have time to do such a thing?"

When Xifeng saw something was wrong, she quickly laughed and said, "Oh, my sister-in-law and sister Lin are getting weird. They didn't rush to talk here. Brother Bao is young, what do you know? He also heard what others said."

"Brother Bao is young, isn't Brother Cong older than him?"

Xichun's fat baby face was clearly frosted, and he said unhappily, "Brother Bao, those words of my wife must have been said by the Xue family, right? If the Xue family didn't say it to their family, how could they say it to our family?" No, you just don’t know right from wrong, you don’t care about Brother Cong, you don’t care about the people of the Xue family, you don’t even know who is close or distant.”

Tan Chun was stunned and stared blankly at Xichun. Is this still the cold-hearted and withdrawn person?

She had never even cared about her own honor and disgrace, but now she knew she had to protect her brother. It was really strange.

"Fourth sister, what about you? You have been stubbornly together with Brother Bao Er in Xifu since childhood. It has only been a few years since you came here. You have not seen Brother Cong for a few times. Why are you so attracted to Cong Er? Second brother, why don't you care about second brother Bao?" Tan Chun joked. She also knew that second brother Cong was not that kind of person, and she had also heard that the uncle of the Xue family was not a good person.

Xichun tugged her lips lightly, and still looked at Baoyu displeasedly. Seeing that his originally shocked face now changed to a curious expression, she also felt that her harsh words just now were a bit too harsh. She tilted her head and looked slender. He fiddled with the pigtails hanging down his chest with his fingers, "I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just saying something fair. I'm just thinking, if second brother Cong is that kind of person, why would the emperor reuse him?"

Baoyu said disapprovingly, "But I heard from my wife that Brother Cong was only reused by the emperor because he took over the title of Dongfu. However, this can be regarded as his good luck."

He becomes a hero in your eyes!

It’s my wife who said it again!

Daiyu thought about how Baoyu had always called some men "swinks and lazy dogs" in the past. Now in her eyes, although this man had a good skin, he was clearly a lazy pig and a lazy dog.

She couldn't help but sneered, "That's right. I don't know whose blessing Brother Cong owes his reputation as the leader of the case? Could it be that it's thanks to Mr. Bao?"

But I don’t see your Second Master Bao coming back after taking the merit examination!

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Seeing that Daiyu was getting more and more unhappy, Baoyu became a little anxious and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "Good sister, I was confused and said something I shouldn't have said. Since you want me to say good things to Brother Cong, I will Just say good things to Brother Cong and listen to him, okay?"

"I'm going to die! Why do I want you to turn to him? Whether you have turned to him or not, what does it have to do with me? Why does he need you to turn to him? I know in my heart whether he is good or not, and I want you to say good things about him to me. What are you listening to?”

Daiyu moved to one side and turned her face away. Baoyu was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zijuan, "Second Master Bao, our grandma is not as good as before over there. Now she is the head grandma here. Second Master Bao is getting older day by day, he should know some rules, and he still hangs out with girls all day long, and Xiren doesn’t even say he cares about you!"

"Second Master Bao, you'd better go back. If you don't finish your homework carefully, your uncle will find out tomorrow and beat you again!" Daiyu stood up with a frosty face, "Qingwen, see you off!"

Xifeng saw in her eyes that this was the style of the head wife. Daiyu lived in Dongfu, although there was a Youshi who was older than her, but Youshi clearly wanted to live by looking at her face, and there was no one above her head. As an ancestor, there is no mother-in-law, who has the final say in everything. This temperament has become more and more upright, coquettish and overbearing, and drives people away without saying a word.

Baoyu's face became more and more sarcastic. He straightened up and looked at Daiyu in disbelief, but Daiyu turned her back to him and didn't even look at her face.

Qingwen came over, with a slim waist and slender shoulders, a pair of big almond-shaped eyes on Lotus's face with clear black and white, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and a slightly pouted diamond-shaped mouth under her nose. She was charming, smart, and enchanting.

"Second Master Bao, let me take you out!"

Baoyu, however, looked at Qingwen's face and became motionless. Needless to say, she looked pretty, but Qingwen's features looked a bit like Daiyu's.

"Are you Qingwen who was in the old lady's house and the old lady gave you to brother Cong?" It's hard for Baoyu to have a good memory.

Xifeng came over and had something serious to do, but was interrupted by Baoyu. As soon as she was delayed, she was worried that Daiyu would drive her away, so she hurriedly pushed Baoyu out and said, "Brother Baoyu, you have a girl-like character. They will be considerate to girls, so you go out for a walk and wait for me in front. I have something to say to Sister Lin. After that, let's go back together."

At this time, Baoyu's thoughts were all on Qingwen. He followed Qingwen out step by step. After walking out of the door and walking on the corridor, he asked again, "Qingwen, how are you doing here?" good?"

Qingwen didn't know what kind of madness this master had, and said, "The second master Bao asked is really strange. I have been a slave for several generations, and I am just serving people. Is it possible that I still want to be like this second master Bao? Staying in a land of treasures and treasures?"

This means that life is not good. Also, if a person like Jia Cong is good, he will not leave girls like Sister Lin and Qingwen aside in the cold. He is really heartbroken.

Baoyu grabbed Qingwen's hand and said, "Qingwen, I'm going to tell the old lady to ask you to come to my room. I don't want you to do anything, just stay with me every day."

Qingwen jumped up in fright and threw Baoyu away, "Second Master Bao, you are going to die. Just keep talking and what are you doing with your hands and feet? Do you think that everyone is an attacker and that you are being manipulated in every aspect?"

Baoyu only felt heartbroken. Sister Lin had changed. No matter what he did, it didn't work. Even a charming and clever maid like Qingwen didn't get along with him. He felt bored in his heart and just looked forward to a gust of wind to blow him away. He scraped it away so that they could not find it and fell into the filthy mud, where it rotted and turned into a pile of mud...

Qingwen felt that her ears were clear, and she wanted to send this crazy person away quickly, so she walked around the corridor and passed through the hall. The woman on the second door was swept in like a gust of wind, and she was so happy A little crazy,

"Miss Qingwen, hurry up, go and tell grandma that the angel in the palace is here, and our father has been promoted to a noble title!"
