Red Mansion, Ningfu Scholarly Family

Chapter 33 Ah!
……

"What? People are gone?"

Jia Jing in the study frowned, then ignored it.

The situation in the court was complicated. The old ministers around the retired emperor were fighting fiercely with Emperor Wende. Some were constantly demoted and some were constantly reinstated. As the leader of the meritorious officials, he was undoubtedly at the center of the storm. He had to carefully consider every move, not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes.

How could he have the time to care about the trivial matters at home?
"Is Rong'er back?"

"No, it's still in the West Mansion."

"Go and tell him to come back and study!"

"yes,……"

……

Rongguo Mansion.

When relatives come, Grandmother Jia naturally invites them to dinner.

Not to mention that the brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng were outside drinking with Shi Nai, Shi Dejin was also sent out. Several tables were set up in Jia Mu's large flower hall, and all kinds of delicacies were served.

Since we were all family, there was no need to be cautious. Everyone smiled and made way for each other to take seats.

Grandmother Jia was sitting alone on the low couch, with Li Wan and Feng Jie serving her at her side.

The two wives of King Xing were sitting at the table below with Mrs. Shi Nai.

The rest of Yingchun's sisters and Xiangyun sat at one table.

Jia Rong was about to go back, but his mother smiled and said, "Rong'er, stay and have dinner too. You don't have to worry about your grandfather. You should take a break after studying all day."

Mrs. Wang tried her best to keep him, saying with a smile, "Yes, go and have a drink with your aunts. You won't miss a day or two of studying." As she spoke, she told Jin Chuan'er beside her, "Go and serve some wine to Rong'er."

Unable to refuse such a generous offer, Jia Rong had no choice but to stay.

Grandmother Jia sent someone to call Lin Daiyu and Xichun from the East Palace to come over for a drink, and soon the two of them arrived hand in hand.

Xichun saw Jia Rong as soon as she entered the room, and walked up to him with a smile, saying, "Brother Rong, why don't you go home and study? Be careful that you will fail the exam in a few days and get punished. How can you go out and have fun during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Xiangyun's eyes lit up and she jumped forward: "What? You guys are going out to play during the Dragon Boat Festival? How come I don't know? Where are we going to play?"

Xichun smiled and said, "You didn't ask? How could I say that?"

Xiangyun no longer had the heart to care about Xichun at this time.

"Can you take me with you, Brother Rong?"

Rong Ge? One word is missing!

Lin Daiyu, who had very sensitive ears, heard it immediately!

This girl! She has thrown away her seniority just to go out and have fun!
Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Rong, only to see Jia Rong smiling faintly, seeming very "proud".

"can."

"Humph!"

Lin Daiyu's eyes unconsciously became sharper.

Xiangyun immediately smiled and was about to speak when Jia Rong said, "But..."

Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat and she asked nervously, "What's wrong, Brother Rong?"

Jia Rong said sternly, "You can only leave if you pass the imperial examination. Otherwise, Master won't let you."

Xiangyun immediately urged, "Then why are you still drinking here? Go back and study!"

Jia Rong: “…”

"Pfft!"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "Rong'er...your sister Yun wants you to go home and study!"

The word "儿" was deliberately dragged out for fear that others would not be able to hear it.

Xiangyun pushed Daiyu and said, "Sister Lin, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by sister Yun?"

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "Don't you call me Brother Rong? You must be Sister Yun."

Xiangyun still stubbornly defended herself, "You heard me wrong, I was talking about Rong'er~!" Then she looked at Jia Rong with a stern face, "Rong'er~ You must go back to study quickly. The college entrance examination is approaching, and you must not slack off!"

Jia Rong had already sat down by then and was not reading for a while.

"Have two drinks and leave."

"I'll pour it for you."

"Thank you, auntie!"

"Brother Rong, you're welcome."

Lin Daiyu smiled and said to Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun: "Congratulations, you three will have a big niece from now on."

Tanchun smiled and said, "Where's Sister Lin?"

Lin Daiyu asked, "What do you mean?"

Tanchun laughed and said, "Didn't you just say there was one more? Then who is the one in front? Could it be..." "It's you!" Lin Daiyu gritted her teeth and went up to grab Tanchun.

"Hehe." Tanchun smiled and dodged behind Yingchun, saying seriously, "I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious, Sister Lin?"

Xiangyun clapped her hands and laughed, "This is just a cover-up!"

"Ha ha……"

"Cuckoo..."

Lin Daiyu was furious!
No one wanted to eat anymore and the place became a mess.

Grandmother Jia was very pleased. She liked the noise of the girls around her, but she always felt that something was missing...

At this moment, Jia Baoyu suddenly shouted from inside.

Grandmother Jia suddenly realized!

It turns out Baoyu is missing!

It was said that Baoyu had just been beaten two days ago, his body was covered with wounds and he couldn't get out of bed.

But it was so lively outside, how could I help myself, especially when I heard that Lin Daiyu was coming!
They haven't reconciled since their last fight. Although I feel pain in my body these days, I am still thinking about you.

Grandmother Jia hurriedly ordered several maids to carry Baoyu outside, where he lay down on a low couch.

Several maids were busy.

Baoyu finally saw Lin Daiyu again, but Lin Daiyu didn't look at him. She was busy bickering with Tanchun and Xiangyun.

Xiangyun smiled and said, "Lin girl, call me aunt, I will ask Rong to take you out to play!"

Lin Daiyu said, "You bit your tongue, forget about Rong Ge'er, just say Rong Ge loves you!"

Xiangyun laughed: "Brother Rong loves, she said Brother Rong loves, did you all hear it? Brother Rong, did you hear it, she said...haha..."

Lin Daiyu was so angry that she stamped her feet and chased after him: "You are talking nonsense. If I don't treat you today, you will die!"

"Cuckoo..."

Jia Rong ate a melon seed.

It's hard to help anyone when the two aunts are quarreling...

suddenly!

No warning!

"what!"

A roar at the top of one's voice drowned out everything.

Everyone was shocked.

Mrs. Shi Nai had just picked up the bowl of soup when she shivered and the whole bowl of steaming soup splashed over Mrs. Wang next to her.

"what!"

The elegant, dignified and kind Mrs. Wang was caught off guard and screamed because of the burns. She jumped up from her chair and the bowl fell to the ground but did not break... It rolled under the table.

Everyone's eyes turned over here again.

Mrs. Wang's face turned red and then pale.

It hurts again!

Urgent again!
Shameful again!

Annoyed again!

Angry again!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was really frightened just now, it was an accident." Mrs. Shi Nai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed her head to apologize, but she felt very wronged in her heart.

This can't be blamed on her at all.
Who told your son to scare me first?

Mrs. Wang loved her son so much that she didn't care about her at all. She didn't care about the large wet patch on her body, and she didn't care about the burning pain. She ran forward and hugged Baoyu: "Baoyu, son, what's wrong with you? Are you in pain? How did you maids serve you?"

Several girls knelt on the ground in panic.
Overwhelmed.

"I, cough cough..."

Baoyu had just yelled too loudly and his throat was sore, and he started coughing uncontrollably for a while.

"Cough, cough..."

Everyone became even more panicked.

Everyone came over to take a look.

Grandmother Jia hurriedly shouted, "Go get the pills! Go call the imperial physician!"
