Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 188: Grandmother Jia's Angry

……

We drank until sunset.

Jia Rong felt a little dizzy and went back to rest.

Xue Ke had been working on a boat recently and had a huge alcohol tolerance. He returned to the front yard room of Ning Mansion as if nothing had happened.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Baoqin inside.

"younger sister!"

Xue Ke walked forward in surprise.

Baoqin looked her brother up and down and said with a smile, "Brother has become darker again."

"Haha."

Xue Ke touched his face and smiled nonchalantly: "What's the big deal about being black? You don't know that your brother is already a well-known talent overseas. Everyone calls me Brother Xue, and even the Zhen family in Jiangnan is willing to bow down to me."

"So, you just brought back two Persian beauties?" Baoqin laughed.

"Ah, this..." Xue Ke scratched his head: "How did you know?"

"Hmph!" Baoqin glared at him, "What do you think? If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"

Xue Ke hurriedly explained with a smile: "I thought you were very familiar with them, so..."

Baoqin stamped her feet: "Bah, who is familiar with them!"

"Baoqin!" Xue Ke stepped forward and said earnestly, "You are not a child anymore. Don't be petty. What are two Persian women worth? You should be more tolerant and generous."

"Whether our Xue family can soar to the sky depends on you."

Baoqin pouted: "What are you looking at me for?"

"Is Brother Rong that kind of person? The reason why I value you and entrust you with important tasks is naturally because you are capable and can accomplish great things. If you are a hopeless person, even if I am a celestial being, it would be useless."

"hey-hey."

Xue Ke was taught a lesson by his sister and smiled awkwardly: "I understand what my sister said, but only with my sister here can I feel at ease. Besides... don't you like Brother Rong too?"

Baoqin blushed and turned away.

"You keep talking nonsense!"

"I ignore you!"

Xue Ke begged for mercy: "I drank too much and said something wrong. Please forgive me. Otherwise, I will drink two more glasses of wine to make amends, okay?"

Baoqin burst out laughing.

"Two more glasses of wine as a penalty? You're so beautiful!"

"You can't drink alcohol for a month!"

"Ah!" Xue Ke hung his head in dejection: "This could cost me my life, but since my sister has said so, I will do it!"

"hehe!"

Baoqin chuckled and said, "Have you given those two Persian women to Brother Rong?"

Xue Ke smiled and said, "I gave it to you, but Brother Rong didn't want it. Brother Rong is indeed a gentleman!"

It doesn’t count when we’re outside, right?

"Oh?" Baoqin asked happily, "Really?"

Xue Ke nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, don't you know Brother Rong yet?"

Baoqin thought about it and said, "That's right!"

"The sisters at home are all beautiful as fairies. How could Brother Rong like those barbaric women outside?"

Xue Ke said: "So, don't be jealous."

Baoqin pouted: "I didn't!"

"I'm just... not very happy."

Xue Ke smiled.

"I know."

"I will never send anyone to Brother Rong again."

"Fine?"

Only then did Baoqin smile with satisfaction.

"That's pretty much it!"

"Forgive you."

Xue Ke bowed in a pretentious manner.

"Thank you for your generosity, sister."

"Hehe, no need to be polite."

……

Jia Baoyu's courtyard.

Everyone helped Jia Baoyu back to lie down and changed him into clean clothes. The doctor they found carefully examined Baoyu's injuries, prescribed two doses of medicine, and said with a smile, "They are just superficial injuries. There is nothing serious."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandmother Jia hugged Da Baoyu and said distressedly, "Why didn't you send someone to tell me? Did you let your father beat you?"

Baoyu cried, "There are only the eldest wife's people outside, they won't help me pass the message inside."

"Humph!"

Grandmother Jia sneered: "When I have time, I will deal with them one by one. Baoyu, you should take good care of your injuries first, and you don't need to go to school for the time being."

Jia Baoyu was waiting for this sentence, and said happily: "I will listen to the ancestor!"

Grandmother Jia warned again: "You should not go to see your mother in this state, so as not to make her worry."

Baoyu nodded: "I understand."

"Ancestor..."

Baoyu wanted to say something but stopped.

Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "Anything else? Just tell me."

Baoyu said weakly: "Last time, the ancestor said that we should build a new Buddhist temple for Madam. How about..."

"Baoyu." Grandmother Jia hugged Baoyu and comforted him, "Your elder sister is in the palace now. You never know when she will gain power. It is better to give her the money for building the Buddhist temple. Then your mother will come out naturally. Besides, I still need to save some money for you to marry a wife."

Baoyu was not interested in a wife at all now. He shook his head and said, "I don't want a wife."

As for my wife, she is not even as good as Qin Zhong.

"Grandfather, I can't go to school recently. Can you clean up a room at home and bring Brother Qin over so that we can study together at home?"

Grandmother Jia naturally agreed.

"That's easy. I'll have someone clean you up tomorrow. But you're injured now, so there's no need to rush to study at home. When you recover, you can just stop going to school and find a teacher to teach you at home."

Baoyu was very happy.

"Grandpa, you are so kind."

After talking for a while, it was time for dinner.

After giving Xiren a few instructions, Grandmother Jia went back.

A group of granddaughters are waiting for her to eat.

Here.

Xiren and Sheyue came out to serve Baoyu dinner.

Baoyu had just eaten halfway when he suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back to look under his pillow.

"Where's my money?"

Baoyu asked Xiren loudly.

The money he hid this morning is gone!
Xiren said, "Who touched your money?"

Of course Baoyu couldn't hide the fact that he was hiding the money from her.

She just opened it and looked at it, but didn't touch it.

Baoyu gritted his teeth and said, "Why is it gone?"

This money was saved by my wife with great effort!

Before, he didn't know what money was.

Money is just a stone in his eyes.

Now, he finally knew.

Money can go to the building.

Every sister there is gentle and considerate, and will do whatever you want.

Among them there was an Oiran who was extremely beautiful.

She is truly a stunner.

Unfortunately, he didn't have enough money, so no one talked to him.

At this time, Sheyue came out and said, "Mrs. Li came over just now. I saw her go into the Second Master's room and take a look around."

"what!"

Baoyu was furious.

What kind of woman dares to enter his room! ?
"What kind of grandmother is he? He even came into my room! Why didn't you stop him?"

Xiren: "..."

Musk Moon: “…”

I guess you still think you are the noble Master Bao Er from before?
The old woman cannot enter the room.

I don't wear clothes made by old women.

This was the rule set by Dabaoyu in the past.

but now……

Just then, there was a sudden commotion at the door.

It turned out that Baoyu's wet nurse, Mrs. Li, had taken some money from Baoyu's room today and gambled a few times.

I originally planned to give the money back to Baoyu after I won it.

Unfortunately, I had bad luck and lost everything.

He was also ridiculed by Wang Shanbao's family and others.

I went home and had some wine out of frustration. The more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became, so I came here drunk that night.

Speaking of which, as the nanny who nursed Baoyu, how glorious was Li Ma in the past?
Now that both Mrs. Wang and Baoyu have fallen from power, she has naturally suffered misfortune as well. Not only has she lost all her former glory, she is also often ridiculed and suppressed by a group of people in Wang Shanbao's family.

How could she bear this?

"Other servants follow their masters and enjoy a life of luxury, but I am suffering like this after having followed you for half my age."

"A sin!"

"What sin did I commit in my previous life that I was blind and followed a group of masters like you."

Mrs. Li sat down on the ground at the door and started cursing and crying.

Seeing Xiren inside, Musk Moon suddenly felt a headache.

Jia Baoyu was already extremely angry, and when Li Ma Ma came, he added fuel to the fire. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "You damned woman, who told you to follow me? Get out of here, get out of here!"

Mrs. Li was even more frantic when she heard this: "Ah, did you hear that?"

"Baoyu grew up drinking my milk, and now he is chasing me away!"

"I can't live anymore. I can't live anymore."

"Oh my God!"

Mrs. Li cried loudly, attracting many people.

Baoyu didn't care and started to curse at Li Pozi: "You stupid woman, I just drank your milk for a few years, and you are so capable. Now I can't drink your milk anymore, so go home as soon as possible! It will be good for everyone!"

Musk Moon was inside, and asked anxiously, "What should we do? Should we help Baoyu to scold him?"

Xiren shook her head: "Madame Li is no different from the others. It's our first mistake to scold her. Let's go find the old lady."

Musk Moon frowned: "If the old lady knows, won't it make the situation even worse? It won't end well in the end."

Xiren shook her head and said, "Madame Li comes to make trouble every few days and steals things. That's enough. We can't live like this any longer."

"We have to make a big fuss to let her know how powerful we are."

As for Baoyu's reputation...

It doesn't matter anymore.

Anyway, I can’t inherit the Duke’s Mansion.

……

Jia's mother's courtyard.

The sisters were looking at paintings in Xichun's courtyard this afternoon, and in the evening they all came to Jia Mu's Grand Flower Courtyard for dinner.

Grandmother Jia sat above.

Below, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Baochai, Baoqin, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun sat around the table.

Only Xing Xiuyan didn't come because she had a lot of household chores to take care of and had no free time.

Soon, the wine and food were served.

As soon as everyone sat down, a little girl came over hurriedly.

"Madam, Master Bao's wet nurse, Grandma Li, got drunk and started arguing with Master Bao in the front yard."

Grandmother Jia felt a headache.

Can't you just calm down!
If it were someone else, it would be fine, just deal with it casually.

But the wet nurse can't do that.

If not handled properly, it will affect Dabaoyu's reputation.

Grandmother Jia stood up helplessly.

"You guys eat, I'll go take a look."

After saying that, Yuanyang helped him out.

Everyone stood up and walked him to the door.

"Are you going?" Xichun asked.

Yingchun said, "I'll go take a look."

Tanchun frowned slightly: "I'll go and take a look too."

Lin Daiyu: "I have a headache, so I'm going home."

Baoqin: "Sister Lin, wait for me."

Baochai hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go see Brother Bao too."

Xiangyun: "Sister Bao, wait for me."

……

At this time, Nanny Li was still drunk.

He was still sitting in front of the door, mad at me and swearing at Baoyu.

"I am dying. My old woman is dying."

"I have served in the mansion for ten years, and my brother, who I have nursed for ten years, wants to chase me away!"

"Somebody come!"

Grandmother Jia shouted.

Two maids came immediately.

Li Ma, who was crying, felt that the atmosphere was wrong and looked back.

startled.

Sober now.

"Old lady, I..."

Grandmother Jia gritted her teeth and said, "Slap me!"

Having been suppressed by Jia Jing recently, the women and wives in the mansion have gradually stopped taking her words seriously.

It's a good opportunity to use Mrs. Li's tricks to establish my authority.

This is the fate of those who dare to bully Baoyu!
That's it!

"Yes."

The two maids came forward and grabbed Nanny Li and gave her a slap without saying a word.

After a while, Nanny Li's face was swollen like a pig's head.

"Old lady, I, wuwu..."

Grandmother Jia sneered: "You still have the nerve to feel wronged?"

"Baoyu is still young and naive. You are old and still naive? Are you living like a dog?"

"Kick him out!"
