Chapter 18 The Savior Comes
"Brother, what exactly did Baoyu do in the family school?" Xue Baochai was full of doubts, and had a gut feeling that there was something serious about it. As soon as he returned to Lixiangyuan, he caught Xue Pan and insisted on asking him clearly.

Xue Pan's eyes wandered, a little guilty, and he said: "Little sister, don't be fooled by him, Jia Baoyu is just a man of gold and jade, and you think he is studying hard in the family school? He is just studying. It’s just a pretense to mess around with Qin Zhong and others every day, but today the second master just happened to catch him.”

Xue Baochai was still a little girl, so she didn't realize what "hustling" meant for a moment, but Aunt Xue was no longer a little girl who didn't know anything, especially since she had a son who was a jerk, so she should know what was in her heart. Qing, so when he heard Xue Pan's words, he immediately reacted.

"You mean that Baoyu was caught hooking up with his classmates in the family school?" Aunt Xue was stunned, and she couldn't believe that Jia Baoyu, who seemed to be in a good mood, and her bastard son were of the same kind.

Xue Pan sneered, "He's the only skin that can bluff people, and the inside is very dirty. Don't look at his young age. Although he is still young, he has already tasted a lot of men and women. Well, her Mrs. Wang has absolutely no regard for my sister, and she is trying to get rid of our Bashang Lin family."

"But I still feel that Jia Baoyu is more than my sister! If you want me to say, mother should find another good man for my sister as soon as possible. This Jia Baoyu is really not a good man. I am also a man. How can I not know? It was just before. Contact was bluffed by his skin, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have allowed Mom to match up my sister and Jia Baoyu."

The words are so clear, what else does Xue Baochai not understand? The little face turned pale in an instant, and a feeling of nausea appeared in my heart for no reason.

She has almost the same thoughts as Daiyu, if she just likes beautiful girls, it’s really not a big deal, and she doesn’t pay attention to those girls, but both men and women are acceptable... She even accepts her own brother’s flamboyant style No, can I still stand my future husband and son-in-law?
Recalling Jia Baoyu's affectionate appearance with Qin Zhong on weekdays, Xue Baochai couldn't help it anymore, broke down and burst into tears.

"My son..." Aunt Xue hugged her to comfort her,
"Don't cry, mother will find you a good family again..."

Xue Baochai was at a loss, what kind of good family could she have? If there were, she would not have acquiesced in the matter with Jia Baoyu at the beginning. She didn't think much of Baoyu at first, but it was a choice she had to make... …There was no better choice in the first place, let alone now that her reputation has been damaged, what better future can there be?
When Jia's mother heard the gossip outside, she was so angry that she almost couldn't hold her breath and drove west on the spot. She managed to catch her breath, and pointed at Jia Zheng's nose and cursed.

"Are you satisfied now? Baoyu was beaten to death by you, and now the whole capital knows it, and Baoyu's reputation has been ruined. How will he marry a wife in the future? How can he take part in the imperial examination and become an official! Baoyu's future It was ruined by you! Our entire Jia family has become a laughing stock! How could I have given birth to such a cruel and foolish bastard like you! If I had known today, I should have strangled you to death!"

"Mother!" Jia Zheng turned pale, and argued, "How can I blame this? It's all because of his misbehavior. The family school is a place where he is taught to study and be sensible, but he flirts with men there, and what he did It's really unbearable..."

"Enough!" Jiamu shouted angrily, pointing at him with trembling fingers, "Baoyu was a little playful at a young age, and was fooled by that person with ulterior motives. She just closed the door at home and taught her well." Why did you want to do such a murderous thing? In front of so many people, you... are you really willing to kill Baoyu!"

Jia Zheng, however, had a frank face, gritted his teeth and said, "Such a wicked person deserves to die!"

Mother Jia was furious, she took the teacup in hand and threw it at him, "Get lost!"

Jia Zheng couldn't dodge in time, and didn't dare to dodge, so he was hit on the head by the teacup firmly, and his forehead hurt instantly, and blood flowed out.

Jia Zheng felt extremely wronged. He really felt that Jia Baoyu was a scum. The whole family always said that Jia Baoyu was a good fortune, but he only felt that this son was the biggest shame in his life. Playing at home A woman who ran to the family school to play with men. At such a young age, she only had one word "color" in her eyes, not even a shy bastard like Jia Huan...

He, Jia Zheng, thought he had been innocent all his life, but in the end he was ruined by his own son. He really did something wrong in his previous life.

But seeing the old lady trembling with anger, thinking about the imperial physician's advice... Jia Zheng finally gritted his teeth,

Swallowed back the grievance, and left with a gloomy face.

"Injustice! Injustice!" Looking at his back, Jia's mother couldn't help crying, "Where are these father and son? They are clearly killing their father and enemy!"

"The old lady can't be so sad and angry anymore." Yuanyang comforted her softly: "The second master just loves and hates deeply. It is precisely because he has too high expectations for Baoyu that he will be very angry when he sees Baoyu being confused. Right now, I'm just angry, and it will be fine in a few days, how can there be any overnight enmity between the father and the son of the direct relatives?"

But Jia Mu shook her head and sighed, "My son, how can I not know? The second child has always been the most rigid and stubborn person. He has prejudice against Baoyu in his heart, and he hates Baoyu no matter how he sees it. Besides, , the most important thing now is not the conflict between father and son... This matter is rumored outside, and Baoyu is afraid that it will be difficult for Baoyu to become an official in the future... There is also a big marriage, a man who cannot be an official, but still With such a stigma, which noble lady is willing to marry here?"

Yuanyang also frowned, showing worry, "Didn't the old lady say she wanted to match Miss Lin and Baoyu?"

"It's just a plan of mine. I didn't expect it to come true before, but now... if it doesn't come true, it will happen." The last few words were almost murmured, and I couldn't hear them unless I listened carefully.

Jia's mother knew very well that Baoyu's official career was almost hopeless, and don't worry about any other noble daughters willing to marry, Daiyu became the only choice in front of her.

Daiyu's background is not low, decent enough, and money must be indispensable. Baoyu's life can be spent comfortably and comfortably. Except for Daiyu, it is impossible to find a better family than the Lin family. Therefore, This marriage must be done.

Under the dim candlelight, Jiamu's always kind face seemed to be a little more gloomy, and the mandarin duck beside her felt her heart tremble inexplicably, and quietly lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Red maple, green calyx, purple bamboo, and thrush, hurry up and pack some luggage. Clothes, money, four treasures of the study and other daily things are all packed. Tomorrow we will go to Dabaoen Temple to pray for our mother. The return date is uncertain. , Try to prepare as much as possible. By the way, I also pack up the needlework and some personal items I usually do by myself. "

The girl didn't dare to ask more questions, she just answered and hurriedly cleaned up.

Xueyan had a vague guess in her heart, but she was still ignorant, "Miss, what is this?"

Daiyu pulled her into the room and said: "Now Baoyu can be said to be covered in sewage. After all, I am not his biological sister. I still live in Rongfu and face him every day, so my reputation will be damaged. Besides, Baoyu's stigma is now Now that the news has spread all over the streets and alleys, who among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital can look up to him?"

"In this way, the old lady and Mrs. Wang are afraid that they will hold on to me even more. Now they are probably eager to settle this matter, and I am afraid they will use some dirty tricks. It is better to simply avoid it than relying on others to defend against it.”

Xueyan let out a long sigh, "It's really come to such a point." His expression was slightly sad.

"It doesn't have to be like this." Daiyu patted her head with a calm expression, "No one in the world can escape the word interest, it is the flesh and blood of a family, and for the sake of interest, you can fight to the death, not to mention the relationship between me and the old lady. There is still one floor away, but Baoyu is the precious phoenix egg that she has kept on the tip of her heart for 11 years, now that Baoyu is facing such a predicament, the old lady must make plans for him."

"I understand the truth, but I still can't help but feel sad for the girl." Xueyan looked lonely and a little sleepy. She knew that the old lady loved the girl in her heart, but the ten fingers were divided into different lengths... It is harmony, once something happens, there will definitely be a direction.

Daiyu didn't say anything more, just let her be sad for a while.

I don't know how long it took for Xueyan to recover from her own thoughts, "Can the old lady let us go?"

"She doesn't want to, but we have to leave." After speaking, Daiyu turned her head to look at Nanny He again, "Send a letter to Uncle Zhong, asking Uncle Zhong to come over tomorrow morning."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

"I'm a junior, so my attitude shouldn't be too hard after all. Uncle Zhong came to the capital to take care of the property in name, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that his purpose of coming to Beijing is to take care of me. It can be said that it largely represents the attitude of my father. The old lady can rely on my age and seniority to suppress me, but if Uncle Zhong is tougher, the old lady still has to be scrupulous, no matter what, she can't tear herself apart with our Lin family."

Daiyu spoke very carefully, and Xueyan listened carefully. She knew that the girl was teaching her, and she was brought up bit by bit in this way.

"We should be able to hide in the Dabaoen Temple this time until the Chinese New Year, after the Chinese New Year..." Daiyu paused, frowning slightly, "I don't know when my father will be transferred back to the capital, we can't always hide in the temple .”

The day when her marriage with the fourth elder brother is settled is when her father will be transferred, but the marriage is not up to her to decide whether it will be successful or not. Should she find another way out? Then what can I do? ?Why don't you ask your father to call them sick and take them back to Yangzhou?
Daiyu is a little ready to move.

The maids were busy tidying up until midnight, and they hadn't slept for a few hours before getting up early the next morning, waiting for the girl to wash up and then going to greet the old lady, but who knew that just as she was about to go out, she saw the mandarin ducks coming up.

"Girl, dress up carefully, the imperial concubine has sent someone to pick her up."

After hearing this, Daiyu dressed up carefully and then left in a hurry.

It was still Nanny Yang who came to pick him up, but today Nanny Yang seemed to be a little different, with a slightly sad look on her brows and eyes.

Daiyu glanced at it, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the imperial concubine is not good?
After entering Chengqian Palace, Daiyu felt even more uneasy.

The imperial concubine actually received her in bed today!
If it weren't for the fact that she was too sick to get up, how could the majestic concubine lie on the bed to meet guests?
"Your Majesty..." Daiyu frowned, her face full of worry.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." The imperial concubine chuckled lightly and changed the subject, "I heard that Jia's family had some scandals, what are your plans?"

She didn't know that Jia's family was thinking about Daiyu's marriage, but they were just afraid that Jia Baoyu's stigma would affect her. The girl's family's reputation was too important and fragile to bear any trouble.

Originally, he was still wondering why the imperial concubine was very ill, why he had to take her into the palace at this time, but now he understood, it turned out that he was worried about her.

Daiyu couldn't help being moved for a moment.

"The maidservant is planning to go to the Dabaoen Temple to chant scriptures and pray for her mother..."

The imperial concubine laughed when she heard the words, "What a clever girl, but can the old lady of the Jia family agree easily? How about...just say that I am seriously ill, so go and pray for me."

Who would dare to stop the imperial concubine from being brought out? Even making excuses to take them back to Jia's mansion two days after the incident, he would never dare again.

"You don't have to worry too much, let's get through this period first, and wait for your father to return to Beijing, it will be fine soon."

The implication is that the marriage between Daiyu and the fourth elder brother is almost inseparable.

Daiyu was sent directly to the Dabaoen Temple after she left the palace, and she only asked Madam Yang to go to Jia's house and tell the Lin family's servants to hurry over.

Uncle Zhong just happened to come to pick him up, and when he heard the news, he immediately laughed, saying, the imperial concubine and empress do it, so as not to waste a lot of trouble.

"The girl is young, and the old slave has to follow her to have a look before she can rest assured, so I will take my leave first."

Mother Jia waved her hand feebly, her face was very ugly.

"The imperial concubine is seriously ill, why did you ask Miss Lin to pray for blessings?" Mrs. Xing muttered with a puzzled face, "Didn't the imperial concubine love that girl very much, why did she confess such a hard job? Is it true that the value is fake? Are we being deceived by that girl?"

Wang Xifeng who was next to him silently rolled his eyes, and was stupid enough to pull him down.

Mrs. Wang pursed her lips tightly, her eyes were full of resentment, and she was a little flustered, "The imperial concubine must have heard about it, and her attitude now seems to avoid our Jia family like a snake and a scorpion, which shows that other nobles I'm afraid it's the same idea, my poor Baoyu has been splashed with dirty water like this, what can I do in the future?"

What annoyed her even more was that girl from the Lin family. As soon as Nanny Yang came to speak, those servants immediately took their luggage and left. It can be seen that they had already packed up and thought about hiding.

How could her precious jade be as unbearable as the rumors outside? It’s fine for outsiders not to know, but what about them? They even avoided her precious jade as if they were hiding from the plague!
In the past, Baoyu treated them so well! Madam Wang can understand the truth, but can Mother Jia not understand? I can't help but feel a little bit annoyed at the granddaughter, but more worried , Miss Lin's attitude is obviously very concerned about Baoyu's stigma, so can the marriage with the Lin family still succeed? Is it really necessary to use some unscrupulous means to facilitate it?
But right now, no one is in the mansion, and it's hard to say when they will come back, even if they want to do something, they can't do it.
