King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 150 Don't Say Bad Words About Master Thirteen
"lecher?"

Daiyu seemed to have discovered the New World, and asked quickly, "What did this thirteenth master do?"

Baochai also knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately said, "You little boy, why are you asking these questions?"

"Sister Bao, just tell me, could it be..."

Daiyu made a bold guess, but it was really hard to say what happened next, so she stopped obediently.

"What's going on in your little head?"

"Could it be that I have to tell you about Thirteenth Master's love affairs in Jinling one by one? I'm not ashamed!" After finishing speaking, Baochai nodded again on Daiyu's forehead.

At this moment, Baochai only feels lucky, fortunately, her ineffective elder brother told about Zhu Jinghong's going to Qinhuai River, otherwise she would not be able to get over it at this moment.

"After all, it is a matter of the royal family, so don't talk about it in the future!" Baochai put on the posture of her sister again, trying to cover up her gaffe just now.

Daiyu always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find a flaw for a while, so she nodded in confusion.

"Why isn't aunt here?"

"I just went to your aunt's place. She suffered a lot of grievances today. My mother, a younger sister, must go and see her!"

"I know something about what happened today, but I didn't expect...the relationship between the first aunt and the second aunt would become like this!" Lin Daiyu looked regretful.

Baochai sighed, but didn't say anything more. She was an outsider about Jia's affairs, so she couldn't say much.

"Sister Bao, Zijuan and the others said today that if I go to see Baoyu, I will cause trouble for him. Is that true?"

When this matter was mentioned, Daiyu looked sad.

Seeing her like this, Xue Baochai really didn't understand, what's so good about that precious jade, that it deserves to be regarded as a treasure by ordinary people like exiled immortals.

Tidying up Daiyu's clothes, Baochai said slowly, "The Jia family has been impeached by the imperial censor for their morals before, and now they have been accused by the emperor's Long Live Lord of having a bad family tradition!"

"There's a difference between men and women. You're all grown up now, and you're also cousins... At this juncture, you really need to see each other less often!"

Upon hearing this, Daiyu's expression became more and more sad, but she also listened to Baochai's words.

The two talked for a while, and when Daiyu looked tired, she said goodbye to Baochai and returned to her residence.

After sending Daiyu away, Baochai turned around and returned to the desk. She wanted to pick up the pen and continue writing, but when she saw the paper in front of her, she suddenly became angry.

It's just because Zhu Jinghong gave her the top-grade rice paper as a tribute.

Xue Baochai felt even more uncomfortable at the thought of this fellow "chasing" everywhere, picked up the written paper, crumpled it up, and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

"Girl, why is this?" Wen Xing, who was serving at the side, was extremely puzzled.

"This paper is not good, give me some more!"

"Ah? This paper is not good? But it can't be better than this!" Wen Xing looked embarrassed.

Turning his head to look at Wen Xing, he kept his face unhappy and said, "Change if you are told, and hurry up!"

"Yes!"

…………

Besides, in the front yard, Aunt Xue chatted with Mrs. Wang for a while, but she still couldn't change the latter's mood.

On the contrary, the more she talked, the more uncomfortable Madam Wang felt.

"Ma'am, Second Master Bao woke up and said he wants to eat steamed cheese with sugar..."

"Such a trivial matter is bothering me? Why don't you go to the kitchen and send a message?" Mrs. Wang looked unhappy.

But in fact, after thinking about it for a while, I knew that the girl must have been to the kitchen and came to Mrs. Wang after hitting a wall.

"Ma'am, I've already been there, the kitchen said..."

"say what?"

"It says that there are no materials for this at the moment, and you have to ask the eldest wife to buy it, so..."

"Bullshit!" Mrs. Wang stood up straight, her face turned livid for a moment.

"These people are really presumptuous, and now they are bullying my mother and I!"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was extremely angry, Aunt Xue was afraid that she would do something violent, so she quickly persuaded her: "The people below don't have the guts, I guess it's because of that!"

"If you get entangled with the servant girl, you will lose your status, so let's calm down for now... It's better to think long-term!"

Compared with Mrs. Wang, who is going smoothly, Aunt Xue, whose husband died young and supported the family, must be more thoughtful in considering things.

Mrs. Wang was persuaded, but then she said: "I'll ask the master first, and see what he says!"

"Alright!" Aunt Xue nodded.

The two sisters separated, and Mrs. Wang went straight to Jia Zheng's study, only to learn that her husband had just left for Baoyu courtyard.

"That's just right!"

So Mrs. Wang also rushed to the Baoyu courtyard, but when she arrived, she heard Jia Zhengzheng reprimanding Baoyu, which made her feel even worse.

"Your younger sister Lin belongs to your daughter's family, and now you are not children, how decent is it to meet every day?"

"In the future, don't mess around, just go to school to study honestly, if you let me hear that you don't know how to measure, be careful that I will break your leg!"

After entering the room, Mrs. Wang interrupted Jia Zheng's speech.

"Our mother and I have been bullied enough today, so why bother Baoyu?"

"I really don't know who is closer to the master!"

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Jia Zheng turned around immediately, and said with a tired face, "Madam, now we must focus on the overall situation!"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help sneering: "The overall situation is the most important thing? If the master doesn't care about anything, maybe in a few days... we all have to move out, and who is going to talk about the overall situation!"

Looking at his wife in front of him, Jia Zheng felt that they were thousands of miles apart, and he couldn't help sighing: "You are really a woman's opinion, do you know... how dangerous is our family now?"

"Master, do you know how dangerous our family is?"

The husband and wife were not on the same channel at all, which made Jia Zheng feel even more chilled and looked at his wife with more disappointment.

"Master, don't you go out and have a look, even the slaves are bullying us!"

Hearing this, Jia Zheng said with a serious expression: "Brother is responsible for cleaning up the family tradition. He is the one who decides this matter. You and I must not make trouble!"

"Are we making trouble?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was really unreasonable, Jia Zheng scolded angrily: "Do you know that if Master Thirteen hadn't helped me this time, our family would have been in danger of being ransacked and exterminated?"

The husband and wife have been married for many years, and Jia Zheng has never been so angry that he frightened Mrs. Wang for a while.

Jia Baoyu, who was lying on the bed, watched his parents quarrel, feeling very uncomfortable.

"It's all the fault of the thirteenth master. If he hadn't called me into the palace late at night, these things wouldn't have happened!"

Although he muttered in a low voice, Jia Zheng and his wife still overheard them in this quiet environment.

"Bastard, how dare you speak ill of the Thirteenth Master, and you are worthy of saying that?" At this moment, Jia Zheng was furious.

"If the Thirteenth Lord hadn't repeatedly rescued you, I'm afraid you would have lost your life. What a femme fatale you are, to say such rebellious words!"

Not to mention Jia Zheng, even Mrs. Wang, who was furious, felt that what her precious son said was inappropriate.

Mrs. Wang reprimanded: "Baoyu, Master Thirteen saved you after all, how can you say such a thing, if it spreads...won't it cause trouble again!"

For a while, Jia Baoyu only felt wronged, and couldn't help but miss Sister Lin even more.
