The Red Mansions

Chapter 114 Lin Daiyu: So shameless!
early morning.

Jia Yun looked down at the attacking and charming Zhengxiang who was sleeping, and wanted to pull out her arms.

With a slight movement, the two woke up.

"Master is awake?" Xiren squinted his eyes and whispered.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Go to sleep a little longer, I was quite tired last night."

"Oh, how can there be any reason for us to sleep after the master has gotten up?" Charming said with a smile.

After saying that, the two of them got up and put on their clothes, then turned back to serve Jia Yun.

Xiren straightened Jia Yun's collar, and asked with a smile: "The concubine doesn't understand, Xiang'er and the others are fine, and their colors are outstanding, why didn't the master want them last night?"

Jia Yun smiled and said, "Yesterday I wasn't in a very happy mood. Besides, since Baochai passed by, I haven't been with you well, so I came to you."

In fact, after a good night's sleep, Jia Yun also figured it out. He was on the edge of a dead end yesterday.

In fact, he didn't need to delve into Xu Renzhi's plans for him at all, because the initiative was always in his hands.

If Xu Renzhi fulfilled his conditions, Jia Yun would fulfill his promise as promised.

After all, not only can I be an official, but I can also help Xue's family solve hidden dangers. I only have to postpone my participation in the examination for one year in exchange, and I have earned it no matter what.

But Jia Yun didn't take the agreement between him and Xu Renzhi yesterday to heart.

Because it may not be too difficult to make yourself an official, but it is very difficult to get the emperor to agree to be the backer of the Xue family.

"However, what if Xu Renzhi really accomplished the two things he said?" Jia Yun thought to himself.

It's not impossible. A governor of Zhili Province, who has been an official for so many years, has methods that ordinary people can't fathom.

Thinking of this, Jia Yun secretly said: "If it is really going to happen, it means that Xu Renzhi really values ​​​​himself, and it is for his own good that he prevents me from participating in the test."

"It doesn't matter whether he did the right thing or not, but the intention is good, then I will sincerely treat him as a teacher and respect him in the future."

Xiang'er, Jing'er, and Xiangling file in to wait on Jia Yun to wash and comb her hair.

At this time, Xue Baochai came with a group of servant girls, looked around, and said with a smile: "Sister Meiren's room is quite warmly decorated!"

Xi Ren and Mei Ren stepped forward to salute, and Mei Ren smiled and said: "I arranged it indiscriminately when I was free, and made Sister Bao laugh."

The three chatted and laughed, and after Jia Yun combed her hair, Xue Baochai stepped forward and patted his arm, pursing her lips and saying:
"Do you know that Xiang'er and Jing'er ran to my place last night and cried?"

"Oh? Why are you crying?" Jia Yun was startled when she heard the words, turned to look at Xiang'er and Jing'er, and asked, "Tell me what happened?"

Xiang'er and Jing'er shook their heads, showing shyness, Xue Baochai smiled and said: "It's not you, they waited in your room eagerly, until midnight, and didn't see you coming, they thought you were disgusting them."

Jia Yun laughed loudly, stepped forward and hugged Xiang'er and Jing'er, and said, "It's nothing, it's too late for me to love you, how can I despise you? Don't think about it in the future!"

Xiang'er and Jing'er's bodies were indescribably soft. They were watched by everyone, and they covered their faces in shame and threw themselves into Jia Yun's arms, not daring to raise their heads.

Xue Baochai had a smile on her face. Although Jia Yun said she slept in the charming room last night, she was not unhappy, on the contrary she felt more at ease.

Because judging from last night's actions, Jia Yun is not a person who likes the new and dislikes the old, on the contrary, she is more nostalgic for the old.

Xue Baochai was afraid that Jia Yun would fall in love with one and then lose the others.

If this is the case, he may not even want to be his regular wife in the future, which would be chilling.

The family chatted and laughed, Jia Yun and Xue Baochai first went to Bu's room to say hello.

In the past, there were few people in the family, and the rules were not established, but now it is different. Jia Yun has become the master of Juren, and the proper dignity cannot be vague.

Mrs. Bu stayed at home all day, either staying in the house to do more needlework, or going to the vegetable garden next door to grow vegetables. Jia Yun was afraid that she would get bored, but she herself enjoyed it.

After eating, Jia Yun came to the study, opened the two boxes Ni Er sent, and took out the evidence recorded inside to read.

Jia Yun read the information in the two boxes for more than an hour.

After reading it, he also had a general understanding of how the chief managers, stewards and shopkeepers of the Xuejia Commercial Road made fake accounts and transferred their properties, as well as the approximate amount of their current family properties.

Because the time was too short, the evidence obtained by Ni Er's investigation was only superficial. I believe that as the investigation gradually deepened, they would find more useful things for Jia Yun.

At the same time, Ni Er's ability was also recognized by Jia Yun.

In the future, if he wants, he can develop him into his subordinate.

After all, people like Ni Er, although they are rascals, have a bottom line in doing things. While knowing the bottom line, they still have a chivalrous spirit. If such a person is used well, he can help Jia Yun do a lot of things.

As for Liu Xianglian, he's a swinger, otherwise he wouldn't even lose his home and wander around.

So Jia Yun never thought of accepting him as a subordinate, but sometimes it is okay to borrow it.

Putting all the evidence away, Jia Yun was about to check on the training of the guards when Xiren stepped in and said that Miss Ping'er was here and was waiting for him in the garden.

Jia Yun was a little surprised. One must know that he had a falling out with the Jia family the day before yesterday. Logically, no matter whether it was Wang Xifeng or Ping'er, even if they wanted to come over, they would endure it for a while. Ping'er would come over the next day.

Now that you're here, there's no reason not to disappear.

In the attic of the garden, Jia Yun put her arms around the plump Ping'er, and asked curiously, "Did you sneak here today, or was it sent by your second aunt?"

Ping'er was lying in his arms, reaching down with his hands, biting his lips and looking up, his eyes were watery, and he smiled and said:

"Grandma sent her servants here. Today she had another quarrel with Master Lian, hiccupping in anger, and her old illness seems to be showing signs of relapse. Last time you told her that you still have old ginseng here, she let her The servants came and took some away."

Jia Yun took a deep breath, tightened Ping'er's willow waist, nodded and said:

"Old Ginseng, I have plenty, and I'll bring you back later, but you have to tell Second Aunt that you don't get it from me, but buy it from outside, you understand?"

Ping'er rolled his eyes and said: "How dare we reveal the origin of the old ginseng? Before the servant takes it away later, you should cut it into slices first. The servant said that he bought it at a drugstore outside for emergency."

After a pause, she said with a smile: "What happened the day before yesterday, I guess Second Master Lian would be embarrassed to come to you again to ask for old ginseng, right?"

Jia Yun smiled, picked up Ping'er, put her on her lap and sat down to talk, while shaking her skirt for her.

He mused: "Second Aunt's illness has never been cured, so it's not a solution to keep procrastinating like this!"

In the final analysis, Wang Xifeng's redness syndrome is because she has too much desire for power, a workaholic who is keen on power, it is not uncommon to get sick.

In addition, Jia Lian always likes to mess with flowers, and Wang Xifeng has no tolerance for sand in his eyes, and has no sense of security in his heart, so he is worried and depressed in his heart. After a long time, the root cause of the disease will fall.

This disease can be cured with Jia Yun's current medical skills, but he can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. He can treat it once or twice, but it cannot be cured for a long time.

In the final analysis, it is still up to Wang Xifeng to figure it out on his own, and only when he knows how to choose and choose can he truly cure the disease.

Ping'er's whole body went limp after being picked up by Jia Yun.

She put her hands on Jia Yun's shoulders, stretched her neck, rubbed her cheek against Jia Yun's face, and gasped, "Grandma promised that I will be with you in the future..."

Feeling that Jia Yun's hand was getting stronger, Ping'er suddenly smiled and said: "But I can't give it to you today, the servant is still in a hurry to go back, now let's hang out for a while to ease the lovesickness!"

Jia Yun nodded slightly and asked curiously, "How did you get her to agree?"

"The servant has nothing to do, the main reason is that you have become a master, and she is also fascinated by you!" Ping'er said with a smile.

After a while, Ping'er let out a long sigh, jumped out of Jia Yun's arms, took a few deep breaths, and said with a bright red face: "In the end, I made this servant feel uncomfortable, go and get the old ginseng, this servant is leaving!"

Jia Yun pulled the towel from the table next to her, wiped her hands, got up and said, "Then wait a moment, I'll go back."

Although the old ginseng was in the space, Jia Yun still went back and cut the old ginseng into slices, because it would be used soon, so he didn't find a wooden box to put it in, but wrapped it in kraft paper.

After sending Ping'er away, Jia Yun had a fire in her stomach that couldn't be calmed down, so she dragged Xi Ren up to the attic again, and didn't come out refreshed until it was almost time for lunch.

Sister Feng's courtyard.

Wang Xifeng was lying on the bed with a sallow face, with a towel covering her forehead, looking weak.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Wang Xifeng squinted her eyes and saw that besides a pack of medicine in Ping'er's hand, she was also carrying two watermelons and a large pack of red dates in the other hand.

Wang Xifeng stuck out her tongue, licked her dry lips, and said, "I asked you to get old ginseng, why did you bring so many things back?"

"It was your nephew who was worried that you would let him bring it. Did you see if this big red date has the effects of nourishing the spleen and stomach, nourishing qi and blood, calming the mind, regulating the camp and health, and medicinal properties." Ping'er replied with a smile.

Wang Xifeng smiled lightly and said, "He really has a heart, and it's not in vain to love him."

Ping'er stepped forward and whispered: "I also brought two big cold melons, one of which is for Miss Lin."

"I know this. When I went out the day before yesterday, I saw that girl Zijuan was holding something in her hand. It should be for Brother Yun." Wang Xifeng said.

Ping'er smiled and said: "Okay, since you know, the servants will not explain anymore, and I will send it to them."

"Go ahead, take out the old ginseng by the way, and fry it with the medicine we bought. It's not a problem for me to lie down all day." Wang Xifeng nodded.

Ping'er pondered for a moment, and said: "Grandma, you are too strong. If you continue like this, you will get sicker as you get older. This servant is afraid that you will live longer."

Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Don't worry, I will definitely live longer than you!"

Ping'er pursed his lips, said no more, turned around and walked out with the old ginseng in one hand and the watermelon in the other.

In Lin Daiyu's courtyard.

Lin Daiyu saw Zicuckoo come in with a big watermelon in her arms, and said curiously:

"During dinner last night, my grandmother was still talking about the drought on the farm. I'm afraid it's not enough to eat cold melon this year. I can only eat it when it's too hot. Where did you come from?"

Zijuan came forward with a smile, and muttered softly: "Miss Ping'er sent it."

Lin Daiyu's eyes flickered, she nodded slightly, pursed her lips, and said softly: "She is so courageous, isn't she afraid that others will see her?"

"See what?" Zicuckoo wondered.

Lin Daiyu shook her head and said: "It's nothing, we can only eat this melon, but we can't share it, otherwise it will be difficult to explain the origin, and the more you talk, the more mistakes you will make."

Zijuan didn't ask any more questions, but went out and took a knife and came back to divide the melons. She looked at Lin Daiyu and hesitated to speak.

Lin Daiyu stepped forward, stretched out her finger, and tapped Zijuan's face, and said angrily: "Although we are master and servant, we are sisters, what can we not say?"

"Isn't the servant afraid that the girl will be sad when she hears the news?" Zijuan pouted and said, "When the servant passed by a rockery in the morning, I accidentally saw Second Master Bao and Grandma Rong's younger brother Qin Zhong together."

Lin Daiyu asked suspiciously: "They are both studying at the free school in Jia's Mansion now, and their grandmother nodded their approval. Isn't it normal for them to be together?"

"No, this is not what this servant is talking about." Zijuan shook her head and hesitated for a moment, then leaned close to Lin Daiyu's ear and murmured in a low voice: "The servant saw that Second Master Bao was holding Qin Zhong's white buttocks from behind and shaking non-stop... ..."

"Ah... so shameless!" Lin Daiyu whispered, and quickly stepped back, her face flushed with embarrassment.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Daiyu lowered her eyes and said in a depressed mood, "He's no longer rolling around in the rouge pile, but hung out in the men's pile instead..."

"Girl..." Zicuckoo whispered with worry on her face.

Lin Daiyu's eyes were dim, she raised her head and said, "It's okay, let's divide it up and eat!"

Zijuan snorted, quickly divided the watermelon, and handed a piece to Lin Daiyu.

After taking a sip, Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and said with a slight smile, "This melon is so sweet, refreshing, refreshing and quenching thirst. You should try it!"

Zijuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her mood improved, and then ate melon with Lin Daiyu.

The sun scorched the earth, and there was not even a breath of wind in the air.

After Jia Yun's family had lunch, they all came to enjoy the shade of a big tree in the garden, and even Mrs. Bu couldn't stay in the room, so she followed.

There are so many people, you say a word, I say a word, the days are easy to pass.

At this time, Aunt Miao said mysteriously: "Guess what I heard on the street today?"

"What did you hear?" A little girl asked with a smile.

Aunt Miao gloated and said: "I heard that Brother Qin from Sister-in-law Zhou's house next door to us is inhumane. He invited many imperial doctors to treat him and spent a lot of money, but he couldn't be cured. I think their family may be wiped out. Already!"

"The family should be extinct. I heard that brother Qin was making up rumors about our master not long ago."

"Hey, our master is the Wenqu star descending to the earth, and the death is auspicious. Brother Qin is afraid that God has cast a spell and punished him!"

"Retribution, proper retribution, who told him not to learn well, but to learn from that gossip?"

"..."

Jia Yun was reading a book by the side, and hearing their discussions, she thought that Jia Qin's body was abnormal, and she only discovered it now, which was quite late.

He thought that Jia Qin would find out by himself in a few days at most.

It seems that after Jia Qin was tampered with by herself, she should have not been close to women for a long time, otherwise it would be easy to find the problem.

At this time, a little girl ran over and saluted Jia Yun: "Master, Jia Ming from the outer courtyard has reported that there is a young master named Zhou Kun visiting at the door."

"Hey, why is he here? Isn't he going to school?" Jia Yun asked suspiciously.

Then he got up immediately and stepped forward to meet Zhou Kun.

Taking Zhou Kun to the study and sitting down, after Xiang'er served tea and left, Jia Yun asked, "Looking at your dusty appearance, did you just come back from the academy?"

After Zhou Kun took a sip of tea, he nodded and said, "Well, Master called me at noon and told me to come back and tell you that you must go to the academy tomorrow."

Jia Yun nodded and said: "That's fine, I planned to go there in a few days, but seeing the urgent urging from the master, do you know what you can do with me?"

"How do I know this? I'm only in charge of running errands. The master asked me to deliver the message, so I came." Zhou Kun said with a smile.

After a pause, he enviously said: "Now you are a serious master. Although you seldom stay in the academy, you are still a man of the hour in our academy."

"Recently, not only have I heard many classmates admire you, but even many teachers and teachers often talk about you, tsk tsk, you are amazing!"

Jia Yun coughed, straightened her clothes, sat upright and said, "Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and see the master?"

"Huh? Come on, who are we with whom?" Zhou Kun pouted.

Jia Yun laughed loudly and said, "The last time I went to the academy, I told you that having fame and not having fame are completely different things, have you realized it now?"

After the two talked for a while, Zhou Kun said goodbye and went home. Before leaving, he agreed to meet outside the city gate tomorrow morning.

In the evening, Qin Keqing came to see him.

Jia Yun found that she still underestimated these women, even if they were on the cusp of the storm, they seemed not afraid of making trouble.

The two hadn't seen each other for a few days, Jia Yun was fine, but Qin Keqing was thinking too hard, and wanted to make out with Jia Yun as soon as they met.

After she was exhausted by Jia Yun's torment, she began to talk about the business:
"What you said earlier has come true. I'm afraid that my younger brother didn't learn well. When I went to play with me today, he covered his buttocks when he walked. I cheated a little, and he told me everything."

Jia Yun asked curiously, "With whom? Jia Baoyu?"

"Heh, he's just one of them!" Qin Keqing sneered:
"Your uncle is also a good brother. The younger brother of the slave family was obedient and obedient, but he was lured by Xue Pan with a few taels of silver and sacrificed himself. He has been out of control ever since..."

Jia Yun laughed out loud when she heard this, thinking that Xue Pan was really playing tricks.

Qin Keqing gave him a light hammer, and said angrily, "You're still laughing, I'm so embarrassed, I don't know if I should take care of it or not, my father is afraid that I only know how to show power in front of my own family, don't care, hey ..."

Jia Yun asked with a smile, "Apart from Big Brother Xue, who else does your younger brother have?"

"Hmm... Husband... Jia Qiang, Xiang Lian, Jia Zhu, he said there was Jia Qin, but he didn't mention it, saying it was Jia Qin is useless." Qin Keqing stammered.

Jia Yun was stunned and couldn't believe it and asked, "He followed so many people?"

He originally thought that it would be a big deal for Qin Zhong to hook up with Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu at most, but now it seems that people really can't be judged by appearances.
