The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

When Jia Zheng saw that Jia Mu was really angry, he quickly knelt down and said with tears in his eyes: "What mother said is so embarrassing for the child."

Shui Rong looked at this scene with a strange feeling in his heart.

Jia's mother is seventy or eighty years old, a shrewd person, but she can be unreasonable. It is really a "little temper" in her daughter's family, regardless of age.

And Jia Zheng, who was nearly fifty years old, still knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

At this moment, Yuanchun walked in. She had not gone to the cubicle before, but was waiting outside. From time to time, she sent Baoqin to find out news. After learning that Zhang Youshi had left, she was worried about Baoyu, so she came in to take a look.

Just seeing this scene, Yuanchun was a little surprised. An unnatural color appeared on his plump face, and he looked vaguely cute, but actually a little cute.

Shui Rong glanced at Yuan Chun, not feeling funny in his heart, and gave Yuan Chun a reassuring look to prevent her, as a sister, from worrying too much.

Thinking that it was his father-in-law after all, he couldn't look at Jia Zheng's embarrassment, so he said to Xini: "Old lady, my father-in-law also hopes that his son will succeed, and he hopes that Baoyu will become a talent soon."

When Jia Zheng heard this, he nodded slightly, his brows and eyes full of approval. These words spoke to his heart.

Jia's mother understood Shui Rong's good intentions. After sighing, her eyes filled with tears, she said, "Even if you hope your son will become a dragon, you can't force someone to look like this."

She didn't know that Jia Zheng was looking forward to Baoyu's good. In fact, not only Jia Zheng, Jia's mother herself and Mrs. Wang also hoped that Baoyu would become a talented person so that he could support the reputation of the Duke's palace.

If not, they wouldn't let it go.

Jia Zheng looked at Jia Mu and started to cry again. His face was filled with resentment and he didn't know what to say.

Shui Rong groaned, his eyes fell on Jia Zheng, and advised: "My father-in-law also heard what Mr. Zhang said. Don't over-stimulate him in the future. For the sake of Baoyu's health, Baoyu's enrollment in school should be slowed down for now."

In fact, for Baoyu, no matter how much Jia Zheng forced him, the mud could not hold him up, so Shui Rong had not paid much attention to Baoyu for a long time.

Zuo Baoyu was not a person of bad character, so he let him be the son of a rich family. While saving trouble, he could also get a good job like Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. Why not do it.

"This"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng showed hesitation on his face, obviously unhappy.

Seeing this, Mother Jia immediately shouted: "You don't have to be angry with me. I shouldn't care how you discipline your son. I guess you are tired of us ladies, so why don't we leave you as soon as possible?" Clean everyone!”

After saying that, Jia said with a sad face: "Your wife Baoyu and I will go back to Nanjing immediately!"

As soon as these words came out, Jia Zheng turned pale with fright and said hurriedly: "Children, listen to their mother."

Seeing Jia Zheng softening, Jia's mother snorted, then ignored him, pulled Baoyu on the bed and said gently: "Baoyu, you heard me, your father will not force you to go to school in the future."

At this time, Baoyu, who had no reaction at all, suddenly started making a fuss all over the bed and shouted: "Don't go to school, don't go to school!"

Seeing that Baoyu had regained his energy, Jia Mu and others' eyes suddenly lit up and they hurriedly comforted him.

Chapter 360 Yuanyang: I’m pinching her now

Xue family, on the backyard corridor.

At this moment, Xiren threw herself in Yuanyang's arms, with a pretty face that was full of crying pear blossoms and rain, her long eyelashes trembling, and her hazy eyebrows with a bit of sadness, she choked and said: "Sister Yuanyang, do I want to Kicked away by the second wife!"

Mrs. Wang in the house previously asked her not to serve Baoyu, because she wanted to drive her out of Baoyu's house.

For them, the master's personal maids, being kicked out of the house is the same as being kicked out of the house.

Yuanyang's expression was startled, and there was a hint of unnaturalness on her beautiful face. She gently stroked the beauty's head with her bare hands and sighed softly: "Maybe the second wife is angry for a moment, so don't think too much about it."

In fact, regardless of whether Mrs. Wang was angry for a moment or not, if she said something in public, she would have to admit it. Otherwise, what authority would Mrs. Wang have as a master?

However, it is difficult for Yuanyang to say such offensive words.

"Sister, you don't have to coax me, I know I made a big mistake."

Xiren couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the strange color on Yuanyang's face.

When she saw Baoyu committing "hysteria" before, she was so anxious that she didn't pay attention to the current situation. After what happened to Mrs. Wang, she also understood where her mistake was.

Publicly shouting that Baoyu is "mad", this is not to spread the word that Jia Baoyu, the legitimate son of the second wife of the Duke of Guo, is "ill", and spread the news to the general public. It is said that "outsiders" have seen the joke of the Duke of Guo, and the Duke has been disgraced. The face of the government, or at least Baoyu's face, affects Baoyu's future.

If you really want to think about it, the crime is not small. Not to mention being kicked out, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is more serious.

No wonder Mrs. Dao Wang was so angry.

She is just a maid, how could Mrs. Wang shame herself because of her.

At the end of the day, it’s nothing more than not caring.

Thinking of this, Xi Ren felt sad in his heart, and the tears couldn't stop flowing out, soaking a large piece of Yuanyang's clothes.

She had taken care of Baoyu since she was a child, and she was meticulous about everything about Baoyu. This kind of life was almost engraved in her bones. Suddenly something like this happened, and she was about to be kicked out. It was undoubtedly a huge blow to Xiren. .

Yuanyang gently caressed Xiren's jade shoulders that were shaking violently, with a hint of pity in his eyebrows.

Xiren has a simple and kind temperament and is steady in doing things. Everyone in the house praises her, and the maids around Baoyu are all convinced by her. She is known as a wise person.

It's a pity that such a good girl was abandoned just because she made the mistake of caring about her once.

It's just that Yuanyang is just a slave, so there's nothing he can say about it. If one day he makes a mistake, it's the same as attacking others.

Fortunately, she still has a way out now, and the prince has left a place for her.

Thinking of the prince, a hint of sadness flashed in Yuanyang's eyes.

In fact, the beauty may not have the idea of ​​getting along with the prince, but because of her status, she cannot get along with him as a slave. Even if she does, what can she say?

At this time, Xiren calmed down a bit. After sobbing, he raised his eyes to look at Yuanyang. His pretty face looked broken and asked, "Sister Yuanyang, what should I do?"

It is true that Xiren tried his best to serve Baoyu, but no one is perfect. Xiren also has his own small thoughts, or it may be the servant's ambition. As a maid, his target is naturally his aunt.

After years of service, not only the people in the house agreed that Xiren was the future aunt, but she herself also thought so.

However, having been kicked out by Mrs. Wang, it has naturally become an empty dream, leaving Xiren not knowing what to do. He only feels that the future is dark and he does not know where to go.

Yuanyang's eyebrows flashed, and after a deep groan, there was a hint of unbearability in his voice, and he said softly: "When the second master gets better, I can go and ask the second master to beg the second wife!"

Everyone in the house knew that Xiren had Baoyu's trust and attachment, and she liked to talk to Xiren about everything, just like a close sister, and she often said that Xiren was "another me".

Baoyu must be reluctant to part with such a friendship. With Mrs. Wang's love for Baoyu, as long as Baoyu persists, Mrs. Wang will most likely recognize it by pinching her nose.

Hearing this, Xiren felt even more bitter in his heart, his eyes turned red, and he said sadly: "Sister Yuanyang, don't say all the good things, the second master, the other brothers, and the left and right brothers intend to redeem me and get married."

It is precisely because he has served Baoyu since childhood that Xiren knows Baoyu's temperament very well. It is true that Baoyu has this intention, but as long as Mrs. Wang shows her face a little bit, Baoyu will soften. How can she stay.

Hearing this, Yuanyang felt more and more unhappy.

Redeeming one's life and returning home to marry may seem like one has gained freedom, but in fact it is not that one has changed his job of serving others in a different way.

Moreover, given Xiren's status, the people he married were generally from handyman backgrounds. How could their appearance and demeanor be compared with the master's?

Although a maid has the status of a slave, working as a maid in the Duke's mansion, especially as a personal maid to a master like Xi Ren, the treatment is more noble than that of a typical young lady from a wealthy family.

After redeeming oneself, the benefits are no longer available. Most of the time, one has to live a life of eating chaffy vegetables and running around for a living. If it is a little better, it will be like those "Sister-in-law Liu" in the Duke's Mansion, doing rough things. manual labor.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This change in the quality of life is the first difficulty.

In this era of clear hierarchies, being a maid in a wealthy family is undoubtedly a promising job. Being an aunt is also a matter of changing the class and honoring the ancestors.

It is precisely for this reason that these maids do not want to leave home until they die.

But Yuanyang also understood in her heart that this was a helpless move for Xiren, or that she couldn't make the decision at all.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps in the corridor broke the sad atmosphere.

Yuanyang raised her eyes and saw that cheerful voice coming slowly. She couldn't help but her eyes and face were filled with joy. She bowed and said, "I have seen the prince."

The attacker also calmed down, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, stood up and bowed.

The person who came was none other than Shui Rong. He was just thinking about going to the inner room to take a look at Baochai, Daiyu and the others. They never expected to see the scene of the two women relying on each other, which immediately made people a little bit speechless.

Shui Rong stared at the rainy pear blossoms, her willow eyebrows and slender eyes were swollen from crying, and the wet area in front of Yuanyang's body, with a slightly unusual color on her face, and asked: "What is this... "

Shui Rong was not in the house before, so he didn't know about Xiren being driven away by Mrs. Wang.

When Xiren saw the prince asking, he clenched the handkerchief in his hand and lowered his head, not daring to speak. If he said one or two more words, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the master.

As a slave, even if you have a grievance, you can't complain.

Seeing Shuirong asking, Yuanyang hesitated for a moment and replied softly: "Your Majesty, Xiren made a mistake. The second wife wants to kick her out of the second master's house. This girl Xiren is very sad."

"Oh"

When Shui Rong heard this, he was surprised. His mother-in-law wanted to kick Xiren out of Baoyu's house. What else could happen?

Xiren is famous for being "gentle and virtuous". He is considerate, considerate and selflessly tolerant when taking care of Baoyu. He treats Baoyu, a young child, like a "mother".

Not to mention that Baoyu cannot live without Xiren. As a mother, Mrs. Wang would kick Xiren out when she saw such a careful and considerate person around her son? How big of a mistake was this?

"The first trial of love between clouds and rain", charming and charming?

This is not right, after all, Xiren is Baoyu's housemate, and they basically believe that she is half-aunt. If this happened, Mrs. Wang would probably applaud her.

I remember that when my filial piety period expired, Yingluo was not the one ordered to seduce him by Princess Beijing, but also Keqing, all the teaching materials were prepared, but I was afraid that she would not be able to serve her.

Yuanyang was puzzled when he saw Shui Rong, his beautiful eyes flashed slightly, he thought about it for a while, and then he briefly explained the matter that would cause chaos if people were concerned about it.

Shui Rong frowned after hearing this, and looked at Xiren biting his lip and about to cry, and felt speechless.

In the final analysis, it's not Baoyu's own problem, no wonder others, presumably it was his mother-in-law who took advantage of others and took the blame.

"Yuanyang, you are becoming more and more bold, and you are playing tricks in front of me." Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at the upright Yuanyang, and said with meaning.

In fact, Shui Rong didn't interfere, so Yuanyang didn't need to elaborate. After all, it was related to the master's affairs, and they were not allowed to talk casually. This was not in line with Yuanyang's careful persona.

Since Yuanyang knew this but still stated it, he probably had another purpose.

When Xiren saw the prince "questioning", she was immediately shocked. Everyone knew that the prince in front of them was of noble status, and it was impossible for them, the maids, to offend him. She knelt on the ground and said, "Prince, Sister Yuanyang has no intention of offending you."

As he spoke, he secretly tugged on Yuanyang's skirt.

Yuanyang also knelt down. The eyes under Liuye's slender eyebrows showed the embarrassment of being exposed. Her cheeks were slightly red. She lowered her eyes and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to lie now. This girl Xiren has always been considerate. , something went wrong in a moment of panic, and I don’t know what to do if I throw him out. "

Logically speaking, Yuanyang, as a maid, was not qualified to intercede for Xi Ren, but she also understood that Shui Rong was a kind-hearted person and most likely would not care about this matter.

How could the prince who could agree to her promise be a coward?

Since we happened to meet each other, I just tried to beg for mercy, but I couldn't watch my good sister being kicked out of the house.

Shui Rong heard the words and was not surprised at Yuanyang's move to plead for Xiren. Not to mention that Xiren was originally with Jia's mother, and they were "old colleagues" with Yuanyang. Just based on Yuanyang's kind character. Sex is no surprise.

Then again, Yuanyang is indeed a talkative person. If she is still secretive at this time, it will make Shui Ronggao look at her. The generous one will show her true temperament.

Tsk tsk tsk. The love between sisters is really deep, which makes Shui Rong appreciate the couple even more.

After groaning, Shui Rong said, "Since it's my mother-in-law's wish, it's hard for me to comment."
