Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 237 Da Baoyu: Don’t come over here
……

"Master Bao, we have already cleaned the small dark room. Apart from some mold, there is nothing else. You can live in it without any worries."

"Three meals a day are delivered by special maids. It is arranged by Madam herself. Master Bao, don't worry."

"As for your wounds, our loving wife has personally arranged for a maid to change the dressing for you."

Mrs. Wang was listening inside.

Master Bao!
It’s Baoyu!
My big treasure!
"what!"

Mrs. Wang screamed and ran out of the yard like crazy.

At the gate of the courtyard, the two burly maids arranged by Madam Xing seemed to have expected this. They stretched out their hands to stop Madam Wang and sneered, "Second Madam, you should just concentrate on your meditation. What's going on outside is not something you can control."

"Ah, get out of here!"

"I can't forgive you, haha!"

"You will all die if you bully me, Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang screamed and was dragged inside by the old woman and thrown on the ground.

One of the old women kicked him out of anger.

"What the hell, you dare to talk nonsense."

"Let her curse the master? I think we should shut her up!"

"Yes, you are right."

The two old women discussed it and found a piece of rag on the ground and stuffed it into Mrs. Wang's mouth.

“Wow, wow…”

Mrs. Wang struggled for a while, but she was no match for the two old women. Soon she was motionless, with only endless hatred and ferocity in her eyes.

All will die!
Anyone who bullies my Baoyu must die!

Waiting for my brother to come back...

……

At the door, Jinchuan'er and Yuchuan'er were trembling and dared not move.

The two maids who were beating up Madam Wang were close confidants of Wang Shanbao. They were very respectable in the mansion, and even Nanny Lai had to give them some face.

They were two third-class maids and followed Mrs. Wang. It could be said that their lives and deaths were controlled by others.

"You two girls, come here!" The two old women suddenly spoke to Jinchuaner and Yuchuaner.

The two were startled, and hurriedly walked over carefully, smiling and saying, "Auntie Li, Auntie Sun, what's the matter?"

Mrs. Li looked at the two of them with a condescending expression and said in a cold voice, "Watch your crazy wife. If you continue to talk nonsense and curse the masters, I will beat you two together!"

"Yes Yes."

The two of them quickly agreed.

The two old women nodded in satisfaction and walked back while discussing where to go for a drink later.

At this time, Jin Chuan'er suddenly asked, "Auntie Li, how come our monthly allowance last month was much less?"

Aunt Li immediately showed some displeasure on her face and turned around to ask, "Why? Did you think our wife deducted your monthly salary?"

Jin Chuan'er hurriedly smiled and said, "No..."

"Humph!"

Grandma Sun said, "It's not just you. Even our monthly salary is short. Madam said that the harvest in the farm was not good this year, so everyone should save some money and make up for it next year when the harvest is good."

Although she said so, even she herself didn't believe that the stingy Mrs. Xing would make up for it.

After all, Mrs. Xing is really stingy!
Grandmother Jia's birthday was such a prestigious event for the Rongguo Mansion, but she only took out ten taels of silver, which almost made the old ancestor die of anger.

From then on, Mrs. Xing's reputation for being stingy spread. Not to mention the people who used to follow Mrs. Wang, even Mrs. Xing's own confidants were full of complaints.

……

After the two maids left, Mrs. Wang gradually calmed down.

Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er were overjoyed and hurriedly helped Mrs. Wang to stand up and sit on an old, broken chair beside them.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

"Ma'am, are you feeling better?"

Mrs. Wang took a breath and looked at Jin Chuan'er and Yu Chuan'er and said, "Good girls, we have fallen into such a predicament, but you two have stayed with us. When my brother is made a marquis and a prime minister, and Baoyu passes the imperial examination, I will make the decision to marry you sisters to Baoyu as concubines." The two were startled and said hurriedly, "We are just lowly girls, and we dare not have any improper thoughts."

Aunt Baoyu, whoever wants to do it can do it.

They don't dare.

Mrs. Wang had no idea what her maids were thinking. She thought the two were just shy, so she held their hands and said with a loving smile, "Don't worry, I have my own ideas about this matter, and it will take some luck on your part."

The two were terrified and shouted, "We dare not."

This is such a great blessing that I’m afraid I can’t handle it.

Mrs. Wang continued, "But I can't go out now. Please go outside and help me find out what happened to Baoyu. If anything happens, remember to ask the old lady to help Baoyu."

……

Let’s talk about Baoyu, who was dragged by a servant into a small dark room in the backyard.

First, a musty smell hit my nose.

Disgusting.

The bedding was cold and damp, with yellow and black spots on it. I don’t know how long it had been since it was washed.

On the table stood a broken coarse porcelain tea bowl with two holes missing, filled with old tree leaves picked up from some corner.

Although Jia Baoyu has not lived a happy life in the past two years, he has lived a life of luxury, with clothes and food provided for him, and the beautiful maid Xiren serving him. How could he endure such an environment?

If all these could be endured with gritted teeth, there was another thing that Jia Baoyu could not accept no matter what!
The person who served him personally was not a maid, but a maid specially arranged for him by Mrs. Xing.

He was obese, with a waist as big as a bucket and a face as big as a basin, which was more than twice as big as his father Baoyu's.

"Second Master, I am here to serve you."

"I will serve you meticulously."

The old woman came up to Baoyu's bed with a smile on her face.

Jia Baoyu no longer cared about being angry.

Shocked and terrified!

If Jia Baoyu had nimble legs, he would have run out like the wind.

It’s a pity that I broke my leg in the beating yesterday. The injury will take at least a hundred days to heal.

"you!"

"Don't come over here!"

Jia Baoyu watched the old woman coming to serve him, and hid in the bed tremblingly.

The old woman smiled a little, showing a kind smile and said: "Don't be afraid, Second Master, I am very gentle."

As she spoke, she went over and began to caress Baoyu, imitating Mrs. Wang's way, thinking: No wonder the Second Madam likes to caress Baoyu, today I'm going to caress him well too.

Suddenly, I felt my hands were smooth and tender, as if water could be squeezed out of them. As I thought about it, I pinched my hands unconsciously.

"what!"

Jia Baoyu was in pain and immediately didn't care about anything else. He shouted outside: "Come on, tell the master that I know I was wrong. I will study hard in the future... No, I want to go to school now!"

The servant outside did not dare to neglect the matter and hurried to the front yard to tell Jia Zheng.

Jia She happened to be still here, and he laughed and said, "Second brother, look, if you don't take good care of a boy like Baoyu, how can he learn?"

Jia Zheng nodded in agreement.

In the past, every time he was beaten, Grandmother Jia would plead for mercy and he would be let off.

That beast has never admitted his mistake!

"Hmph, now you know you're wrong?"

"late!"

"You have to stay in there for three days even if you want to go to school!"

Jia Zheng said with a serious face.
