The Red Mansions

Chapter 60

Sister Feng's courtyard.

After Jia Mu and others visited Wang Xifeng, they did not leave in a hurry.

Instead, he came to the living room and sat down with all the female relatives, always paying attention to Wang Xifeng's condition.

As for Jia She and Jia Zheng, although they got the news, they didn't come over. After all, they all knew that Wang Xifeng's illness was difficult to talk about, so it was inconvenient for them to come to visit.

The imperial doctor naturally didn't leave at the moment, and was taken to the side hall by the maid to wait. He only waited for Jia Lian to come back, boil a dose of medicine for Wang Xifeng and take it, and then see how to diagnose and treat it.

In the living room, the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

Xing'er, who went out to buy medicine, came back early, so he is waiting for Jia Lian now.

"Did he ride a horse?" Jia Mu looked at Ping'er and asked with a frown.

Ping'er stepped forward and leaned back and said: "It was on horseback, Xing'er took a step first, and the pharmacy was much closer than Brother Yun's house, so he came back sooner, and if all goes well, the second master should be back soon. "

Mother Jia nodded lightly, and glanced at Mrs. Xing.

She is the eldest wife of Rongguo Mansion, Yipin Gaoming's wife, and Wang Xifeng's mother-in-law in name, but because she has no children, she can't hold her head high in Jia's Mansion.

Today, Wang Xifeng relapsed due to alcoholism, Mrs. Xing was the last to get the news. Mother Jia wanted to scold her, but after thinking about it, she held back.

Turning around, Mother Jia saw Jia Baoyu sitting between Lin Daiyu and Sichun, her expression eased, and she said:

"Baoyu helped us a lot at a critical moment today. Listen up, when Feng Lazi recovers from her illness, don't forget to ask her to treat us to Baoyu."

Jia Baoyu was whispering to Lin Daiyu in a low voice. After hearing Jia Mu's words, he was taken aback, raised his head and said:

"Old Ancestor, Second Brother Lian hasn't invited Old Shen back yet. Isn't it too early for Sister-in-law Feng to invite the host?"

"Yo ho, it's rare for our baby to be smart once!" Jia's mother said, "Whether Jia Lian can invite Lao Shen back, and Feng Lazi's invitation to host are two different things."

While talking, Jia Lian came back from outside.

Seeing so many people in the living room, Jia Lian was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly brought Old Shen up to ask Mother Jia to check it out.

"Old ancestor, you have sharp eyes, can you take a look at the quality of this old ginseng?" Jia Lian asked for instructions.

Jia Mu nodded her head and said, "What's the matter with the golden eyes and the dizzy old eyes? Anyway, if you're not here for a while, it doesn't hurt to have a look."

After receiving the box Jia Lian handed over, Mother Jia looked at the ginseng inside, nodded and said, "It's an old ginseng, and it's not easy to buy such old ginseng. Don't treat Brother Yun badly, and remember Stay with this favor!"

With that said, Mother Jia covered the box and handed it to Jia Lian, beckoning him to take it as medicine as soon as possible.

After Jia Lian went out, Jia Baoyu asked suspiciously: "Old ancestor, Lian's second brother must have paid a lot of money to invite old Shen from Brother Yun. Why do you owe him a favor?"

Jia Mu glanced at him, sighed, and said, "This is a life-saving item. Whoever gets it will hide it."

"Brother Yun agreed to give up the old ginseng to Jia Lian at a critical moment, which took into account the friendship of the same clan. If we don't remember this favor, we will be stabbed in the back by the clan!"

For Jia's mother today, there is nothing else to ask for, but the dignity of Jia's family cannot be lost.

It's not that Jia's mother is unaware of the gradual decline of Ningrong and Rong's houses, but the grandeur of Jia's house cannot be underestimated.

Because as a member of the honorable circle, once the scene is small, countless hungry wolves will swarm up and dismember Jia's mansion.

With the quality of the Jia family now, except for some incense and former students, the family has no pillars, and the ability to resist risks is too poor. This is what Jia's mother is most worried about.

So the clansmen can win over if they can, and try not to offend them.

Half an hour later, the imperial physician followed Jia Lian out of the room, and said: "The patient's condition is stable now, and he will make a diagnosis and treatment after drinking the newly prescribed medicine."

Then, the imperial physician reported Wang Xifeng's condition to Mother Jia. At this moment, after taking a dose of strong medicine, Wang Xifeng's condition was stabilized, but the future treatment still needs to be recuperated slowly.

……

Jiang Yunxuan.

After Jia Baoyu came back from Sister Feng's courtyard, he was depressed.

Because the person who often served was released from the mansion today, which made Jia Baoyu very uncomfortable.

The servant girl Sheyue came in to change Jia Baoyu's clothes, but he staggered and nearly fell down.

"Yo, you've grown up, and you know how to lose your temper. The servants don't know how to offend the second master. What's wrong with it makes the master so disgusted!" After standing still, Musk Moon said with her eyes on her hips .

She was already articulate, even Xiren and Qingwen would give her three points, she was brave and resourceful, and she was known as a little expert in quarrels in the Red Chamber.

Qingwen is too impatient, she will only yell at you and me, or she will push people away, instead leaving excuses for others.

Xiren is a prudent person, but he is not good at arguing. If there is anything to do, he will use Musk Moon first to let her come forward.

It can be seen that Musk Moon does have a few brushes when it comes to quarreling.

It should be said that Musk Moon was originally a law-abiding girl, but she was very eloquent.

On the one hand, it is due to her personality, she is good at finding loopholes in the opponent, and can persuade people with reason.

On the other hand, she doesn't like to play, and often stays to watch the house, often stays with Baoyu, often reads and debates, and is more eloquent than other girls.

In the original book, there was a quarrel between Qingwen and Zhui'er's mother. It was a quarrel with the tip of a needle, and neither could win, and neither was willing to back down and admit defeat.

At this time, Musk Moon appeared on the stage, and I saw that she was not in a hurry, and she regarded quarrels as writing papers, bickering as speeches, and left with "no words to answer" and "no words to speak" in a few words. .

Therefore, when Jia Baoyu, who knew Sheyue's temper well, saw her speak, his head grew dizzy, and he quickly got up to apologize.

Qingwen, Qianxue and other girls outside heard the quarrel in the room, but no one went in to stop it, because everyone knew that Sheyue's small mouth was fierce.

After the movement in the room became quieter, Qingwen exchanged glances with the maids, lifted the curtain lightly and went in to check.

At this moment, Jia Baoyu was sitting on the bed sulking, when she heard Sheyue say with a small mouth: "No matter how good sister Xiren is, but she has already left the mansion, and she is no longer a maid of Jia's mansion, no matter how much you read She, can she come back?"

"The servants are all doing their best to serve the second master, but the second master can't vent his depression on the slaves just because he thinks of Xiren's sister, which makes people feel chilling."

"Usually when Sister Xiren was here, she often persuaded the second master to study hard, but you just ignored it. Now it's all right, and you don't get used to it without the red sleeves?"

"Master, then you have to get used to it slowly, the days to come will be long!"

Jia Baoyu's head grew dizzy when he heard it, and he clutched his forehead and didn't know what to do. He said one sentence, and Musk Moon Baba would say ten sentences.

Seeing Qingwen coming in, Jia Baoyu's eyes lit up, and he said to Sheyue, "I'm wrong today to make you angry, or let Qingwen serve me today, you go out and rest first!"

Musk Moon choked for a moment, looked back at Qingwen, pondered for a moment, and then retreated silently.

Don't look at her quarreling fiercely, but she is not unreasonable.

She takes her work seriously, is diligent, and keeps a low profile. She can always remember her identity and duty, and she has never done anything out of the ordinary, or even said anything out of the ordinary.

If Jia Baoyu hadn't acted too chillingly today, she wouldn't have said so much, and would have just kept her head down.
