Chapter 307 Stimulation
When Wan Baocai rushed to Ye's house, Ye's family was helping the coffin to go out. Mai Xiang didn't expect Wan Baocai to come so fast, so she rushed forward to make a complaint and explained why she didn't go home.

"It's okay, we already know, but you, pay attention to your body and don't get tired." Seeing that Mai Xiang's face was very ugly, Wan Baocai expressed concern.

He saw with his own eyes that Mai Xiang was doing the housework in an orderly manner, and the maid woman kept calling for Mai Xiang to answer, he was a little surprised, but he didn't say much.

Seeing him looking around, Mai Xiang thought he was looking for Huaici, so she said, "My husband got up early in the morning and rode a fast horse back to the countryside, and told my second uncle to prepare for my mother's funeral."

"It's okay, I'm not looking for him, where's your grandfather?" Wan Baocai asked.

Mai Xiang thought about it for a while, then took Wan Baocai to Jiufeng's house. Jiufeng had already put on a filial dress and sat on the kang, her tears seemed to have dried up, her eyes were empty, and she was also dumbfounded. There is also Ye Tiezhu.

The two have been sitting like this for a long time.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Wan is here to see you." Mai Xiang approached Ye Tiezhu and said softly.

Ye Tiezhu's eyes moved, but he didn't respond much.

"Second brother, I'm your eldest brother. The eldest brother has come to see you. Zhuzi, don't you even know the eldest brother?" Wan Baocai walked up to Ye Tiezhu and asked, patting him on the shoulder.

Seeing that Ye Tiezhu was still unresponsive, Wan Baocai slapped Ye Tiezhu hard a few times, and Ye Tiezhu looked carefully at the person in front of him, and recognized Wan Baocai, but his voice was hoarse, he couldn't speak, and his lips moved. After a few moments, the tears fell first.

Seeing this, Mai Xiang sighed for a while, and hurried over to bring Jiufeng out.Since last night, this Jiufeng has been like this without eating, drinking or talking.Mai Xiang was annoyed at her, but when she thought about it, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl. In one day, she not only lost her mother but also lost her virginity. This psychological burden is indeed too heavy.

Mai Xiang wanted to persuade her a few words, but firstly, Mai Xiang was not in the mood, and secondly, Jiufeng couldn't listen. This kind of thing can only be left to time.

When Jiufeng returned to the countryside, she still couldn't eat and didn't talk to anyone. Everyone felt something was wrong and forced her to feed her a few times, but she vomited as soon as she ate. Even Cao Xueqin couldn't help it, saying that she was suffering. Too much stimulation, stagnation in the heart, trance, if only I could cry out to vent it.

But Jiufeng's tears seemed to have dried up long ago. Mai Xiang suspected that she had autism, because she couldn't see sadness or joy on her face, and she didn't talk to others. Kneeling, in short, like a puppet, except for one thing, what she eats will be spit out soon.

Although Ye Dafu and the others felt sorry for this girl, Liu's funeral still had to be done, so he had to ask the two servant girls to follow Jiufeng every step of the way.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when Mrs. Liu was buried, Jiufeng lay on the coffin like crazy, crying and shouting that she insisted on going with Mrs. Liu. Take her away.When everyone saw this, they were all moved to tears, saying that this child is really filial, and that he did not let Mrs. Liu suffer in vain.

Only Mai Xiang is speechless. If I knew today, why bother?

However, after Jiufeng woke up, she returned to normal, but she still didn't like to talk. Ye Dafu asked her and Ye Tiezhu for their opinions. The father and daughter chose to live in Bafu's house. I chose a side room and a small courtyard.

Ye Dafu originally wanted to take up the burden of supporting the elderly and younger sister, but seeing that Jiufeng was unwilling and could not force her, he was just in a very bad mood.In addition, Liu Shi's death was always a knot in Ye Dafu's mind. He always felt that if he had been more tolerant to Jiufeng at the beginning or if he had been by Liu Shi's side, Liu Shi would not have left so early.

Seeing that Ye Dafu was in a bad mood, and the weather was hot, and Huaici had a vacation, Mai Xiang thought about staying in the country for a while and unraveling Ye Dafu.

On this day, Mai Xiang was leaning on the kang to read the manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions" sent by Liu Huilan. Cao Xueqin had already finished writing it, a total of [-] chapters.

The death of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's marriage in the novel are the same as in the opera, because Jia Baoyu sent Tan Chunyuan to marry back and was plotted against by Jia Huan, who delayed the time to enter the house and Lin Daiyu died of tears.

As for Baochai, after she married Baoyu, she didn't live a truly happy life, because Jia Baoyu didn't have him in his heart at all.Moreover, after the defeat of the Jia Mansion, Jia Baoyu entered the prison, and later escaped from the prison with the help of Jia Yun, Hongyu, and Qianxue. Because he escaped secretly, he had nowhere to go. He had no choice but to hide in the farm in the countryside, and met the former Eryatou, who helped him escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers.

Later, King Beijing learned of Jia Baoyu's situation, and begged His Majesty to give Jia's house an imperial decree, exempting the women and children in Jia's house from the crimes, and Jia Baoyu was also free.

Jia Baoyu was found by Jiang Yuhan and Xiren, but at this time, Jia Baoyu had already penetrated life, death, wealth and honor, and had the idea of ​​becoming a monk.

Shi Xiangyun originally agreed on a marriage, but unfortunately before getting married, the Shi family fell into ruin and Shi Xiangyun was betrayed. Later, he met Wei Ruolan in a shooting range. Wei Ruolan rescued the impoverished Shi Xiangyun, and Shi Xiangyun also recognized him The golden unicorn on Wei Ruolan's chest was something she had seen from Jia Baoyu before, and only then did she know that it was an old friend.It's a pity that Shi Xiangyun didn't get together because of his low self-esteem and because he was afraid of getting Wei Ruolan involved.

"Daughter-in-law, you've read the ending of this novel several times, why are you still holding it?" Huai Ci came in from the outside and saw that Mai Xiang was still holding the manuscript in his hand, so he couldn't help asking.

He knew that Mai Xiang was in a bad mood every time she held the manuscript, so he asked this question.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little emotional. The daughters in this book don't have a happy ending. They are all tragic characters. You said that Miaoyu is such a noble person, but she was plotted and defiled in order to save Jia Baoyu." In the end, we had to choose to die together.”

"Who said they are all tragic characters? It's not bad for Xiren to marry Jiang Yuhan, and Hongyu, although it's a little bit hard to follow Jia Yun, but the husband and wife are of the same mind." Huai Ci lay down on Mai Xiang, from Mai Xiang He took the book away from his hand.

Mai Xiang thinks so too, the endings of the main characters in the book are all tragedies, Yuan Chun is implicated in a palace coup when she was out playing with the emperor and she was given to death, Xi Chun became a nun, Qiao Jie entered a brothel, Later, although she was redeemed by Grandma Liu, it was a stain after all. Wang Xifeng died of illness, and no one even knew that she was dead.

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Mai Xiang pondering, Huaici asked.

Just as Mai Xiang was about to speak, she saw Feng Ye shouting at the door: "Master, grandma, someone from the Wan family in the capital has come, saying that there is something urgent, and I want you to go back."

"What did you say?" Mai Xiang asked casually.

"No."

Mai Xiang and Huai Ci speculated for a while, and had no choice but to pack their things and go back.

The two had just entered the house before they even had time to change their clothes, only to see Mrs. Jiang enter the door.

"What's the matter, ma'am?" Mai Xiang didn't expect her to come to the door, Huaici hadn't spoken to her since the last time he got stuck.

"I'm here to deliver a message. Mrs. Pei said that I will meet you tomorrow morning, and I'm still lucky." Jiang sat down on his own.

"Understood, is there something else for Madam?" Mai Xiang frowned slightly, Mrs. Pei's husband has already been imprisoned, and she has been in peace for a while, so what's the matter with her?

"I heard that the Pei family refunded tens of thousands of taels of silver bills to you, so you plan to keep it secret like this? This is the Wan family's public account, why do you keep it for yourself?" Jiang asked.

"Ma'am, who told you that this is the public account of the Wan family? Mrs. Pei said that this is the compensation from the Pei family to the husband. Could it be that the wife wants to miss the money?"

"This is the public account of the Wan family. I am the head wife of the Wan family, so I should be concerned about this money." Jiang Shi was also calm.

Mai Xiang thought about it, anyway, she didn't have any nostalgia for Wan Jia, so she simply chose to tell the truth to stimulate her.

"Originally, we wanted to return the money to the Wan family, but my grandfather said that my husband has suffered so much and suffered so many crimes over the years. He felt ashamed and said that the Wan family was sorry for my husband and insisted on us Take this money to buy some property. In fact, we are not short of this money, but the grandfather wants to buy a peace of mind, and we have to fulfill his wishes, otherwise it is unfilial. We are not like some people, You can't be filial to the elderly, you can't treat your children well, and you don't know what to do with it?"

Mai Xiang still remembers the last time she scolded Mai Xiang in Wan's old house, Jiang's, so she returned it today.

"You, you are disobedient and unfilial? When your mother-in-law speaks, do you have the part to talk back?"

"Madam, please go back if you're okay. We just came back from the outside. It's so hot that we haven't even changed our clothes yet." Mai Xiang didn't bother to pester her.

"Hmph, I advise you, restrain yourself when it's time to restrain yourself, and don't get too complacent." After Jiang Shi finished speaking, he sneered, and shook his handkerchief to leave.

"I don't need this, I'd better give it to my wife. You have to pay it back when you come out to play around." Mai Xiang looked at Jiang's back and chased after him.

Jiang's foot stopped, he turned around and stared at Mai Xiang bitterly, seeing Huai Ci coming out of the back room, he swallowed back what he wanted to say.

"Daughter-in-law, I have a bad feeling." Huaici said, looking at Jiang's back.

"Could it be that the guy surnamed Pei wants to drag us into the water? I remember the boss warned him." Mai Xiang was also a little worried when she thought of this.

If Acton wanted to dispatch Pei Chunlin to the Western Regions as soon as possible, but after all, he is a third-rank official of the imperial court, and he has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, and his network of connections extends in all directions, so Acton really can't move for a while. He can only wait in prison.

But Pei Chunlin has been in prison for more than a month, why did Mrs. Pei come to look for Mai Xiang suddenly, why?Is there something about the Jiang family here?
