Chapter 251: Volume Five Enters the Jia Mansion (Part 1)
Autumn is getting thicker, and the mottled tree shadows are reflected in front of the window. The golden wind blows, bringing the forest shadows swaying and the sound of the waves.
"Miss, it's been several days, and you're not going to see Mr. Bao anymore?" Zijuan couldn't help but think when she saw that the young lady was still sitting under the bed with the scroll in her hand, reading the book carefully. Be reminded.
“Didn’t I go to see it a few days ago?” Daiyu turned her head in surprise, staring at Zicuckoo with a pair of clear eyes like a deer.
Zicuckoo simply didn't know what to say. She hesitated for a moment before sighing and saying: "Miss, you and Mr. Bao are still cousins after all. We have a lot of contact with each other. He also likes you to go to his place. He I was injured and have been lying in bed all day for several days, and you only went to see me once. This is not appropriate."
Daiyu blinked her eyes, as if she was trying to figure out the meaning of Zijuan's words. In fact, as smart as she was, how could she not understand?
If it were like in the book "Dream of Red Mansions", even if I didn't have to visit every day, I would have to visit every other day. It's not like now, I just pretend to visit on the second day and say If it is neither salty nor bland, it will be difficult to set foot in it.
She now wished that Baoyu could stay in bed for a few more days, so as not to come here every now and then and make noises. She couldn't push him away, and it was hard to talk about it. She could only forcefully pretend to be listless, not join in fun or talk to each other, and let the other party be bored by himself. Leave.
But in less than two days, the other person will come back full of energy and enthusiasm, and then leave in despair again. It goes on and on over and over again, making Daiyu also despair about the end of these days.
But fortunately, now that Sister Bao has appeared, this frequency has been significantly reduced. It is said that half of the frequency should have been transferred to Sister Bao, which made Daiyu's favor for Baochai suddenly grow a lot.
Who doesn’t want a target to share his troubles with? Not to mention sharing the same hatred, at least it allows me to have a lot of leisure here, and it also gives me a little more leisure time to read and write.
It's a pity that there is a girl named Zicuckoo who always likes to make noises in her ears, which makes Daiyu helpless.
Of course, she also understood that Zicuckoo was doing it for her own good, and she was living under someone else's roof, and Baoyu was the number one darling in the Rongguo Mansion. Her grandmother and aunt both regarded her as a precious stone, and it was just a normal life. Now that Baoyu was lying in bed, if she still If you treat her coldly, your aunt may not be so happy in her eyes.
With a slight sigh, Daiyu put down the book in her hand, stood up lazily, covered her mouth and yawned, "It seems that it's really not good if you don't go, so let's go."
Seeing her young lady's depressed look, Zijuan smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Miss, there's nothing wrong with going there. If you don't want to stay longer, just find an excuse to leave. Mr. Bao can't get up anyway."
"Well, let's go." Daiyu simply tidied up, "Second Brother Bao didn't even get a few hits from his uncle. Didn't Brother Feng's life-saving letter just arrive? Is it really that serious to lie in bed all day long?"
"Shh, miss, don't say this. What else can Mr. Bao do if he doesn't lie in bed? When you get up, don't you have to face the master's face again?" Zicuckoo was not polite this time, "During this period of time, I'm in the city. There are wines being served everywhere to celebrate, the master must be feeling angry and can’t find a reason for it, how can Mr. Bao dare to ask for trouble?”
“I don’t know how long Brother Bao is planning to stay like this? My uncle worries about him all the time, and he didn’t say he has thought about it for him?” Daiyu curled her lips slightly.
In this way, the two people walked along the path towards Baoyu's residence.
Before she could enter the door, she saw two people walking over there. She saw Lin Daiyu from afar, and rushed over happily: "Sister Lin also came to see Brother Bao?"
Daiyu felt a headache when she saw the other party, but she was still happy in her heart, "Tan girl, are you also coming to see your second brother Bao?"
"Yes, I didn't come yesterday, so I came to see him today. Brother Bao was complaining about being sad lying alone in bed." Tan Chun's face was full of joy, "He also said that Sister Lin only saw him once and never looked back. We’ve been here before, has our friendship been so weak since childhood?”
Lin Daiyu frowned slightly, she didn't like hearing this kind of words the most, as if whoever went to see whom had to be restrained, but she couldn't say these words, so she could only say lightly: "It seems that Second Brother Bao When he is in good spirits, he can still think about how many times this has come and whether that has come. If his uncle comes to see him, I'm afraid he won't be happy."
Tanchun laughed out loud, pushed Daiyu's arm gently, and then held on to her: "Sister Lin, please don't say that in front of Brother Bao, otherwise Brother Bao will be really annoyed. "
"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to say it, but Brother Bao won't be able to stay in this situation for long, right?" Daiyu shrugged her nose, but turned her face to one side, "This is not a problem after all, Brother Bao It’s better to think carefully about what to do next.”
Tanchun also frowned. If these words fell into the ears of Brother Bao, I'm afraid it would cause another unpleasant incident.
A few days ago, Sister Li Bao said the same thing when she came to visit Brother Bao. At that time, Brother Bao turned his face to the side and stopped talking. The atmosphere was very awkward, so he had to change the subject to avoid a deadlock.
Daiyu seemed to have noticed the change in Tanchun's expression, and took hold of Tanchun's hand. "Don't worry, I won't say such disappointing things."
When the two of them entered Baoyu's house, they found that it was already filled with laughter and laughter.
I have to say that Baoyu has really good relationships with people, and he doesn’t hold grudges. The unhappiness of the first two days disappeared overnight, and he started having fun with his sisters again, trying different ways to please them. Completely forgetting that I am still a "patient".
After all, I still have to go this way, but speaking from the bottom of my heart, Feng Ziying doesn't really want to go to Rongguo Mansion now.
This trip will inevitably lead to all kinds of entanglements, and if not possible, you will have to get drunk before you can walk.
Jia Lian also sent a message early, but Baoyu is said to be unable to get up yet. I don't know if he is pretending or if he is really seriously injured.
However, it is said that after his letter was delivered, Jia Zheng stopped hitting Baoyu with a paddle. How could he hit Baoyu so hard in just a few strokes?
Feng Ziying is more inclined to think that Baoyu is just pretending.
But he should be having a hard time during this period.
Seeing that everyone in the Shuntian Mansion was setting up drinks to celebrate, the 155 people who had won the imperial examination, excluding those from other prefectures in Beizhili, accounted for most of the people in the capital city, and many of them were registered as vassals. He is a son of an official, and today he is serving wine at this house, and tomorrow he is hosting a banquet at that house. Although he does not have much friendship with Rong Ning's second house, and is more of a son of a civil servant, these are all matters in the capital city after all.
Even when Jia Zheng went to the Ministry of Industry to answer questions, he could not avoid hearing these things all day long. There were even some ignorant or deliberately disgusting people who wanted to ask how the prince should give in. This made Jia Zheng even more heartbroken and uncomfortable. .
How can I give you Baoyu a good look when I come back after I suffered aggrievement in the Ministry of Works?
I'm afraid lying on the bed with your **** sticking out and pretending that your injury is not healed is the wisest choice.
It is estimated that Baoyu will not dare to "recover" and get up until he has passed the government and made Jia Zheng feel at ease and his anger is no longer so strong.
The carriage slowly reached Rongning Street amid the rumble of carriages.
Feng Ziying originally said that she brought Ruixiang here by herself, but her mother refused to allow it. She only said that after all, he was a successful candidate, so how could he act as casually as before?
Feng Ziying is also helpless. Even her masters Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia sometimes go out on foot, but they are unable to move.
Of course, when it comes to Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, they really don’t need a sedan or a carriage to support the scene. Walking can actually show their approachability.
"Master, the post has been sent a long time ago, but you didn't mention the specific time on the post. You asked me to go and report it first..." Ruixiang raised his waist and put his head in and asked.
Feng Ziying smiled and scolded: "How can you be so particular? I haven't seen this in the past. Why are you acting like this today? Could it be that my wife has something to explain to you?"
Ruixiang was speechless, and Feng Ziying knew it was right, and shook her head, "Why is it so? I'm used to going to Jia's house, and it doesn't look like it anymore. It's still the same as usual. I don't think the concierge is there." As for stopping the rest of us from waiting outside, right?"
“How can we do that?” Ruixiang said with a smile, “But madam...”
"Okay, just listen to me when you come out. Don't talk to my mother about everything. If you talk too much, you'll slap her when you get back." Feng Ziying became impatient, "Go ahead and tell the concierge that I'll come." Look at the gem."
Ruixiang didn't dare to talk much, so he quickly got out of the car and ran over to say hello to the concierge.
The concierge had obviously known about it for a long time and hurriedly came out to greet him. Feng Ziying said nothing nonsense and explained a few words. Knowing that it would take some time for Jia Zheng to come back from his errand, he went straight to Baoyu.
Feng Ziying has not been to Jia's Mansion for more than half a year. Thinking about it, the last time she visited Jia's Mansion was in the twelfth lunar month of last year, but now it is already September. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a year.
Having celebrated his fourteenth birthday the day before yesterday, he is now a fifteen-year-old boy. In this era, fifteen-year-olds are still considered half-adults. Although it is rare for people to get married at this age, they are not It's something new.
Although it has been dormant for more than half a year, the interior of Jia's house has not changed much. Feng Ziying felt a little more emotional along the way.
The past six months have been a huge change for me. The passing of Qiu Wei means that my identity has undergone earth-shaking changes. Otherwise, Jia Zheng would not have been able to spare Baoyu a beating just because of a letter from him. And next spring , which is a gantry that many people can't even hope to match.
The boy leading the way accompanied Feng Ziying and spoke carefully. He no longer dared to be as casual as before and was a little more reserved. He led Feng Ziying to Jia Baoyu's residence.
