Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 162 Rumors start the incident

But he said that the poisonous pills were very effective, and even with the antidote, the symptoms lasted for seven or eight days.

On this day, Baoyu had just regained consciousness and was able to move around. Thinking that he had not seen Sister Lin for many days, he took advantage of Xiren's unnoticed attention, got out of the bed, and slipped into Sister Lin's blue gauze cabinet.

"Girl, why don't we go see the second master?"

As soon as I arrived outside the door, I heard the sound of azalea coming from inside.

Baoyu didn't understand why Daiyu didn't see Daiyu for so many days after waking up, so he quietly lay at the door and eavesdropped.

"Hmph! With so many people looking at him, why should I join in the fun!"

I don't know if he spoke in a hurry or for some reason, but he started coughing.

Zijuan hurriedly stepped forward, helped Daiyu sit on the bed, patted her back, and comforted her: "The girl was frightened a while ago. She should be recuperating now. Why bother venting her anger on the second master!"

Daiyu snorted coldly: "You know how to speak for him. It's better if he doesn't get angry with me. I've never been angry with him!"

Zijuan said with a smile: "He suffered such a great crime, and the girl didn't go to see him, and said she was out of anger!"

Daiyu sighed: "He has Sister Bao and Sister Yun on the other side. Could it be possible without me?"

Zijuan smiled and said, "I think the girl is too worried. A while ago, I heard the little girls outside talking about it, saying that my wife was determined to marry Miss Bao to Uncle Lai. I think it was just hearsay before!"

Seeing that Daiyu was not surprised, Zijuan asked, "Have you heard about it, too?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Last time, the old lady held a birthday banquet for Sister Bao, and I can see that it's a little bit, but it's just that Sister Bao may not be willing!"

Baoyu outside the door, when she first heard that Mrs. Wang wanted to promise Baochai to Lai Shangrong, her heart felt as if it was blocked. Then when she heard that Daiyu said that Baochai was not willing, she immediately clenched her hand that was lying on the door frame tightly. He turned into a fist and hammered the door frame hard.

He murmured to himself: "Sister Bao doesn't want to..."

His movement immediately startled Daiyu and Zicuckoo in the room.

Zijuan hurriedly turned around and came closer and shouted: "Second Master! Second Master?"

Baoyu, however, seemed oblivious and beat the doorframe repeatedly, repeating: "Sister Bao doesn't want it, Sister Bao doesn't want it..."

With that said, he turned around and rushed out of the yard like a gust of wind.

Daiyu thought that the lingering poison in him had not been cleared up and had triggered hysteria again. She hurriedly ordered Zijuan to chase him, and she hurriedly put on her shoes and chased him out.

At this moment, Baoyu's mind was full of Baochai's unwillingness to marry Lai Shangrong, and he came all the way to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

Seeing Jin Chuan hurriedly grasped her hand and said, "Where's Madam?"

After Mrs. Wang went crazy, she was afraid of disturbing Jia Zheng in the master bedroom, so she moved to the side room. Jin Chuan didn't know why, but Baoyu only thought that Baoyu heard that Mrs. Wang was also poisoned and was concerned about his mother.

Then he took him to the side room.

"Son! I'm fine, why don't you take a good rest!"

Mrs. Wang, who was snuggled up on the bed, was quite relieved to see her son rushing to visit her.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu came to the bed and fell to his knees with a plop.

Kowtowed like pounding garlic, and mourned: "Sister Bao is not willing... Mother must not promise Sister Bao to Brother Lai!"

Looking at her son who was in agony, Mrs. Wang was shaken.

In the final analysis, she made arrangements for Lai Shangrong's marriage for the sake of her son.

I thought that Baoyu only had Daiyu in his heart, and he had no intention of Baochai, but he was so sad.

She had just recovered from the aftermath of the poison, and knew that Baoyu was weak now, how could she bear such grief.

If you worry too much, if there is something going wrong, no matter how good you plan it yourself, what's the point?
Fortunately, Lai Shangrong didn't reveal anything, and the big house also had backup.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and said hurriedly: "Get up! Get up! I promise you!"

After saying that, he ordered Jin Chuan to help him to the bed and put him in his arms.

While touching Baoyu's head, he sternly said to Jin Chuan: "This matter must not be spread out. If I hear the wind..." Daiyu's master and servant, who was chasing Baoyu outside the door, withdrew in disinterest. .

…………

In the small courtyard in the northeast corner.

Xue's mother and daughter were sitting on the edge of the kang and sighed.

"Now there are rumors circulating in the house about how to teach my daughter how to behave!"

The golden match was still a little more obscure, but this time it was rumored by name, which made Baochai not anxious.

Aunt Xue said: "That's it! We'll discuss it later when Brother You comes back and ask him to clean up the old house. Let's move there as soon as possible!"

"But! Should we just ignore these rumors?"

"I'll talk to your aunt when we move out. She's not fully recovered yet!"

Just as he was talking, he heard Xue Pan calling from outside: "Mom! Sister!"

"It's called a soul!"

Aunt Xue said angrily.

Xue Pan walked in and complained: "Mom! Sister! It's so hard for you to hide it from me. I only heard about the matter between my sister and Brother Lai when I was having a drink at Brother Zhen's house today. Such a big thing, you guys Why didn't you discuss it with me? Instead, you told Brother Zhen to make fun of me. Considering my relationship with Brother Lai, it's not even a matter of a word! Why bother..."

Baochai was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Xue Pan and speechless.

"Bah!" Aunt Xue was so angry that her chest shook for a while, she scolded angrily: "It's about your sister's reputation, what are you talking about!"

Only then did Xue Pan realize something was wrong and asked tentatively: "Isn't it passed down from home?"

"Nonsense! No matter how bad our family is, we will not rush to marry your sister to a slave. Let alone use such despicable methods!"

"This..." Xue Pan said disapprovingly: "If you ask me, there's nothing wrong with it. At least it's much better than Baoyu. Don't you always praise me for your ability?"

"Shut up!" Aunt Xue was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Xue Pan and saying: "How can this be the same!"

Then he said: "It's okay if you don't help me with advice, but you still say these crazy things. If you really marry your sister to him, how can I have the honor to meet your father in the future?"

Seeing his mother trembling with anger, Xue Pan scratched his head and said, "Mom, don't be angry, can't I stop talking?"

Baochai also persuaded: "Mom, don't get so angry that your brother happens to be here at this moment. You'd better tell him to clean up the old house as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes! Thanks to you for reminding me, he was almost so angry that he forgot about the business!"

Then he ordered Xue Pan to clean up the old house.

Xue Pan said happily: "That Baoyu only knows how to hang out with women all day long. He told me that he should have moved long ago."

Aunt Xue was also disheartened and sighed: "Your aunt and uncle made a vow at the beginning, but how could they know that these things would happen. I just pity your sister, if this ruins the marriage, how can I have the face to see your father in the future!"

As he spoke, he held Baochai in his arms.

Xue Pan smiled and said: "Since mother doesn't like Brother Lai's background, there is a good candidate here for my son. He can be better than Brother Lai, and he comes from a distinguished family!"

"Stop causing trouble to us two, I will pray to God and worship Buddha!"

Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, Xue Pan said angrily: "Can my son harm his sister? Brother Feng is so capable that even Brother Lai admires him. He is an old friend of this manor. His father is not only a general of Shenwu, but also a powerful general. He also controls the capital guard station."

When he said this, the mother and daughter could not help but be shaken.

Although Xue Pan is unreliable, he is very caring for his sister Baochai.

Moreover, since the Feng family is also an old friend of the Jia family, it is not difficult to find out, and their family background is not bad.

Taking advantage of the rumors that it was limited to the Jia family, it would be great if they could find a suitable family.
