The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 284
Let's talk about the Wang imperial physician that Rongguo Mansion is used to. After being invited by the servants of Jia's mansion, he gave Jia Baoyu a diagnosis and treatment, and finally confirmed that he had injured his muscles and bones, but fortunately he did not hurt his inner lining.

Leaving Yuanyang to take care of Jia Baoyu in person, Jia's mother called Xia Jingui, Sheyue and other girls to the main hall of Rongqing Hall, and asked what happened.Xia Jingui had been prepared for a long time, according to the pre-arrangement, she put all the responsibility on the girls.

Before Jia's mother made a statement, Mrs. Wang immediately jumped out and said that she would severely punish the maids. She had never been used to those enchanting maids, thinking that they had spoiled her precious jade.But as an old man who has been immersed in the inner house for decades, how could Mother Jia be fooled so easily, even if she asked a few girls.

Comparing the two sides, Jia's mother figured out that there was something strange about today's incident, but she didn't explode on the spot, but ordered someone to beat a few girls twenty boards, and then exposed the matter.Then Xia Jingui, who was unwilling, and Mrs. Wang, who felt that the punishment was too light, stepped down, leaving only Wang Xifeng and Tanchun.

Wang Xifeng is also a master who can't rub the sand in his eyes. Seeing that Jia's mother is so talkative at this moment, she couldn't help saying, "Old lady, I'm afraid it's a little light to treat those girls like this?"

Jia Mu shook her head and asked Tanchun, "What do you say, San girl?"

Tanchun frowned and replied, "This is wrong. Sheyue and Bihen are also old people who have served the second elder brother for many years. How could they make such an obvious mistake? I'm afraid they were plotted against." Although she didn't say it clearly, But how could Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng not know who she was talking about.

Jia's mother said approvingly, "Three girls are right. They're not far from what I thought. Those girls are not so bold. They dare to seduce Baoyu and do mischief in the daytime. It must be the Xia family playing tricks here."

Wang Xifeng was puzzled, "Since the old lady has already guessed, why not give Baoyu's family a hard time, lest she make an inch of it!"

"Since Mrs. Xia entered the door, I have always looked at her as a bad person. But today's incident, let alone the fact that there is no evidence for a while, and it may not be good for Baoyu if this matter breaks out."

Hearing what Jiamu said, Wang Xifeng and Tanchun were both thoughtful, and only heard Jiamu continue, "I am not deaf or dumb, and I am not a family member. I still have a few years to live. Is it really possible to suspend the Xia family?" Is it possible? Baoyu's mother is so stupid, she insisted on hiring such a wife for Baoyu at the beginning, but now she has to let it go. People like us have no reason to divorce their wives unless it is absolutely necessary." Speaking of this, she He hesitated for a while, and then said, "The old lady left you today because she has something to ask of you."

Wang Xifeng had some guesses in his heart, but he still looked at Tanchun, and said with a smile, "Madam, you are offending me, you old man has something to ask, even if you say it right, I will do it properly." Tanchun Then he said, "Old lady, but it's okay to say."

Jia's mother put her eyes on Wang Xifeng's face, and said seriously, "Young girl Feng, don't give me a sloppy eye. Let's just make things clear today. I know very well that you and Lian'er have made up my preference." She saw Wang Xifeng was about to speak, so he waved his hand to stop him, "Don't be in a hurry to deny it, how can I not know your thoughts, I'm afraid you have complained about me in private all these years. But you go back and ask Lian'er, let him speak with his conscience, His mother passed away, how the old woman treated him, even if she was not as good as Baoyu, she didn't blame him."

Wang Xifeng often came to Rongguo Mansion to play when she was young, and she knew very well about the affairs of the mansion. She knew what Jia Mu said was true, so she generously admitted, "The old lady is not bad to Lian Er, especially when he was young, and Brother Zhu is no different."

Jia Mu said comfortingly, "You can say that, much better than that bastard boss. I'm clear about it, because of Baoyu's mother, you don't want to see the second room, but the old saying goes well, breaking the bones connects the tendons." Anyway, your second uncle and Baoyu have never harmed anyone, have they?"

Wang Xifeng hesitated for a while, but still nodded and said, "That's right, the second master has a good temper, and Baoyu has a naughty heart, so they don't have any bad intentions."

"Since you can say that, then I will ask you to do this. I hope that when I go in the future, you and Lian'er can take care of Baoyu. I don't ask you to take care of him all the time. I just hope that no one will bully him."

Faced with Jiamu's request, Wang Xifeng really couldn't refuse, so she had to reply, "Baoyu is Lian Er's next-door brother and my first cousin. We won't let outsiders bully him."

Jia Mu clapped her hands and said, "Okay, I've made a note, old lady, you can go now."

Wang Xifeng got up and saluted, looked at Tanchun, then turned around and left the house.After he walked away, Jia's mother lamented, "Oh, I made a mistake in the past. I shouldn't have allowed that stupid woman of the Wang family to make troubles, so that now the two families are strangers, and there is no room for change."

Tanchun comforted, "The old lady is worrying too much. Although the old man and the old man are at odds, but after all, brothers, just like you said, break the bones and connect the tendons, and they will always get back together in the future."

Jiamu said bitterly, "You don't need to comfort me. My own sons don't know their nature. It's all right for you master, the boss has no hope. In his eyes, I'm just a man, partial to the armpit. the unloving mother of the

Tanchun wanted to persuade her again, but Jia's mother said, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something serious. If you think about it, you guessed it, what am I going to say?"

Of course Tanchun guessed it. After all, Mother Jia had just told Wang Xifeng, so she nodded, "The only one who can make the old lady so serious is the second elder brother."

Mother Jia did not deny it, and even said earnestly, "Recently, after thinking about it, I realized that only entrusting your brother to you can make me feel at ease. You are a bright child, even if I don't tell you, you can understand, Feng Girls and the others are unreliable. At most, they will help Baoyu when he is in trouble. There is nothing else to count on. But Baoyu has that temperament. When I am gone, he may not be able to support himself. So, I think I will leave you some silver and pavement. I will leave him a way out."

Now that Tanchun is here, Fang dares to ask what has been kept in his heart, "Since the old lady knows the temperament of the second elder brother, why did you stop him when my father wanted to discipline him in the past?"

Jia's mother shook her head and laughed, "You, I really think that grandma is old and confused! I know your father is doing it for Baoyu's own good. Don't I want him to make progress? But some things are not as simple as you think. Since that day, his official career has been cut off, and the problem lies in his jade."

"What does the old lady mean?" Tanchun pointed in the direction of the palace, suddenly asked.

Mother Jia nodded lightly, "That year when Baoyu was just born, I didn't notice, let that bitch Wang and Zhou Rui's family take advantage of the loopholes, and spread the story of Baoyu's birth with jade everywhere. I have no choice. , I had no choice but to make mistakes, and ordered people to publicize this matter throughout the capital. In order to make people laugh at our family, thinking that this is a trick for the favor of the women in the back house with shallow knowledge." The more she spoke, the more angry she became patted the table,

"But even so, who knows what the royal family will think. You are also well-read. Let me ask you, since ancient times, except for the founding emperor, how many people who were born with visions have ended well? For you My brother can grow up smoothly, so I have no choice but to deliberately raise him up to be a wealthy and idle person, so as not to hurt the upper class."

At this time, Tanchun knew about Jia's mother's painstaking efforts. She asked curiously, "Then why didn't grandma tell father clearly, so that father would be less irritable."

Jia's mother explained, "When your father was young, he wanted to gain fame and honor his ancestors. Who would have thought that after your grandfather left, the Supreme Emperor Long En would bestow an official on him. So from then on, your father will change the family. The heavy burden is placed on your big brother Zhu. That child is also up to the task, and he is a seed for reading since he was a child." Speaking of this, Jia's mother said with tears in her eyes,

"But there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Your elder brother Zhu died of illness, and your father pinned his hopes on Baoyu. I didn't tell him before. I thought that anyway, your elder brother will support the family in the future." Now, it doesn’t matter if Baoyu is famous. After your eldest brother leaves, I’m afraid your father won’t be able to accept this blow.”

Seeing that Jia Mu was in great pain, Tan Chun hurriedly walked up to her, stroked her back, and said, "My condolences to the old lady, brother Izumi knows. If I know how sad you are, I will not be safe in the ground."

Mother Jia was sad for a long time before she calmed down, "Let's not talk about Zhu'er, let's talk about Baoyu. I originally planned to make the two jades a pair, so that not only will Baoyu's wish be followed, but also your uncle Lin will take care of you in the future." , but I don’t want a prince of Dongping to appear in the middle.”
