Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 15 You don’t want to make a fire again, do you?
……

"Uncle, do you know who I am?"

Yuanyang raised her delicate head and looked at Jia Rong without blinking.

"You are……?"

Jia Rong came forward to take a closer look.

"Yuanyang girl?"

Jia Rong naturally knew that Xiaoxiao and Yuanyang were cousins, so it was no wonder that he felt they looked familiar from the beginning.

He just didn't expect that Yuanyang would be punished by Xichun to make fire.

Isn't this just a slap in Lady Jia's face?
He has no respect or filial piety at all. Fortunately, I brought the person back.

Yuanyang pretended to be calm and said, "Of course it's me. Who would have thought that you didn't recognize me."

"Where's that girl Xiaoxiao? Is it possible that the master is not satisfied with her service? If you have any problem, just tell me, and I will find her some other day!"

Jia Rong took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "No, that's not the case. Today she went home for something, and I didn't even have anyone to serve tea or water to me at night. As her sister, shouldn't you fill in the gap without hesitation?"

Yuanyang blushed and stamped her feet, saying angrily, "Master, you are talking nonsense again. I am here to serve Miss Lin."

Jia Rong smiled.

"Do you think they need your help?"

"You don't want to light the fire again, do you?"

……

Rongguo Mansion, Jia's grandmother's courtyard.

Jia Baoyu waited from morning to noon, and from noon to nightfall, as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

He really regretted it!
If he had known this would happen, he would never have quarreled with Lin Daiyu.

"Wuwu, Sister Lin, I won't argue with you anymore, please come back, wuwu..."

"Second Master, let's eat first."

Xiren carefully brought over some snacks and felt very distressed when she saw Baoyu's expression.

Baoyu waved his hand impatiently: "Take it away, take it away. I won't eat until Sister Lin comes back!"

Xiren advised: "Second Master, why are you doing this? Miss Lin is just going to the East Palace to stay with the Fourth Miss for a few days. It's not like she won't be back..."

"What do you know!"

Baoyu jumped up and said, "Sister Lin is from our side. Their side is a place of parasites. Why did they invite Sister Lin over there?"

Xiren laughed softly after hearing this: "The same thing, Master, you are wrong to say that. Miss Lin is also from a scholarly family, and Uncle Lin is a third-place winner of the imperial examination. Could he also be a parasite?"

Baoyu: "..."

"What's wrong, Master?" Seeing Baoyu suddenly fall silent, Xiren regretted what she had just said.

"Go out, and get someone else to serve you!" Baoyu said coldly.

Xiren knew that she had touched Baoyu's sore spot, so she didn't insist. She went out and asked Musk Moon to come in and serve him. However, Baoyu knew that Musk Moon had always had a close relationship with Xiren, so he drove Musk Moon out and called in two other little maids who were serving outside.

Sheyue said with a smile: "My sister, how did you offend Master Bao?"

Xiren said helplessly: "I just gave him some advice and he got angry."

Musk Moon smiled and said, "Why are you trying to persuade her at this time? If Miss Lin doesn't come back, Second Master will be very uncomfortable."

Xiren said, "What can we do? Miss Lin's legs are on her body. Even the old lady can't do anything to her, not to mention the Second Master. The East Palace doesn't dare to go even a step further."

"Hey."

Musk Moon sighed: "What should we do? What should we say when the old lady asks about it later?"

It’s a big deal if Baoyu doesn’t eat!
"Just say..."

"Don't tell me!"

Baoyu lifted the curtain and came out, gritting his teeth and saying, "I'll go find the old ancestor right now!"

"Second Master!"

"Second Master..."

Xiren and Sheyue hurriedly followed.

Baoyu originally lived in Jia's grandmother's warm room, and he ran to Jia's grandmother's room in a few steps.

Seeing Baoyu looked a little haggard, Jia's mother hurriedly hugged Baoyu and said distressedly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did you eat today?"

Jia Baoyu said tearfully in his grandmother's arms: "I just want Sister Lin to come back for dinner. I don't know where she is these past two days and whether she's eating well or sleeping well..."

After hearing this, Jia's mother felt very distressed and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry, Yuanyang is watching over you. Eat your meal first, and she will be back soon!"

"Really? Sister Lin will be back soon?"

"Well, you eat first."

After finally coaxing Baoyu to eat, a maid from the Ning Mansion came outside and bowed, saying, "Madam, Master Bao, Miss Yuanyang said that Miss Lin is staying over there with Miss Four tonight and will come together tomorrow morning."

Jia Mu: "..."

"I do not want!"

Jia Baoyu roared and jumped out of Grandmother Jia's arms.

"I want Sister Lin back!"

"Grandfather, you said Sister Lin would come back!"

As she spoke, she cried. Grandmother Jia felt extremely distressed and hurriedly comforted her, "Okay, okay, I'll send someone over right away."

"Amber, go over and take a look and urge them to hurry up."

"Hey."

Amber gritted her teeth and agreed.

Can she do what even Yuanyang can't do?
"You must bring Sister Lin back. If Sister Lin doesn't come back, you shouldn't come back either!" Jia Baoyu shouted loudly.

amber:"……"

……

Ningguo Mansion.

"mandarin duck?!"

"You, you, why are you here... Uncle Xiaorong?"

After Amber arrived at the East Palace, she was full of suspicion, shock, and disbelief!

Yuanyang had obviously just finished bathing at this time, with wet hair draped behind her. Her dress was obviously new and a little ill-fitting.

Although she also knew that Yuanyang and Xiaoxiao were cousins, but...

"Oh, don't mention it, just take a look at my clothes first."

Yuanyang took out the clothes that were burned by the fire during the day and handed them to Amber to see.

"Ah? This is..."

Yuanyang said helplessly: "I was chased out by the fourth lady to burn fire all day. If it weren't for Master Xiaorong's plea, I wouldn't have stopped yet."

amber:"……"

Yuanyang has such a high status in Rong Mansion that she was sent here to make firewood just like that.

"I advise you not to go there and get into trouble. Stay here with Master Xiaorong for one night. Miss Lin and the fourth lady will be there tomorrow morning, so we can go back together."

Amber hesitated.

"That's...ok."

At this time, Jia Rong's voice came from inside.

"Yuanyang, are you okay?"

"My hair isn't dry yet, wait a little longer."

"Who's coming outside?"

"Amber is here."

"That's great. Ask her to come over and give me a shoulder massage."

Jia Rong had just written an article and his arms were a little tired.
amber:"……"

Yuanyang whispered, "Go in and serve him quickly. Master Xiaorong is reading a book. You just need to massage his shoulders. It's okay."

"You don't want to light the fire?"

amber:"……"

"Where's Xiao Xiao?"

Yuanyang: "She, um, seems to have gone home."

"What are you afraid of?"

Amber whispered, "It's okay to serve Master Xiaorong once, but what are we going to do if your jealous cousin comes back?"

Yuanyang said confidently: "She left her master alone and ran back home. She has to thank us."

Amber nodded: "That's true."

"Should I take a bath too?"

Yuanyang reached out and poked Amber's forehead, scolding her with a smile: "Silly girl, what are you thinking? I just asked you to come in and massage your shoulders and legs! What else do you want to do?"

Amber pointed at Yuanyang's clothes and pouted, "But you took a shower."

Yuanyang gritted his teeth and said, "I have been burning fire for a whole day, and my body is covered with sweat and ashes!"

Amber said seriously: "I am also sweaty. If I had known that I would come to serve Master Xiaorong, I would have taken a good shower before coming here."

What a great opportunity!

After all, the old lady is old and can't take care of me for many more years.

mandarin duck:"……"

"It's up to you. If you're not afraid that Xiao Xiao will get angry when she comes back, then go and wash it."

Amber smiled and said, "Don't be afraid."

"You are my cousin in front."

"Good sister, you go in and serve first, I'll be there in a moment."

"By the way, where is the water?"

Yuanyang: "It's gone, burn it yourself!"

After saying that, she tied her hair up and went inside.
