The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 258 Keqing Baoyu loses his soul
Not to mention that Qin Zhong went to the academy to study, but when it came to Jia Jing's birthday, as usual, Daiyu prepared fine edible things, rare fruits, sixteen large boxes, and Jia Cong's handwritten notes. A volume of scriptures was sent to Jia Jing and Jia Lian, entrusting Jia Lian to lead Jia Ping and his subordinates.

Jia Mu also had some instructions to give. After hearing this, Jia Lian led his family there.

Because Jia Cong was not at home, he did not invite relatives and friends from outside. Only the young and old men in the clan came to gather. The outside affairs were left to a few men to take care of. With Jiao Da and others watching, Daiyu was not worried.

Later, Mrs. Jia came with Mrs. Wang, Xifeng, Yuan Chun, Baoyu and others. Daiyu took her in. Here, You's mother came with her two daughters who had not yet been married. Everyone had seen After meeting, they gave each other a seat.

Living in the green hall, Jia Mu sat on the chair at the top instead of the Arhat bed, so Baoyu had to sit at the bottom.

Not long after, Aunt Xue and Baochai also came. Baoyu asked, "Sister Bao just came now, where is Brother Xue? Is he here?"

"My brother said he would come early in the morning. If my mother and I hadn't delayed for a while, he would have come here for breakfast early in the morning!" Xue Baochai said playfully, looking towards Daiyu.

Daiyu smiled and said, "That's because Sister Bao is being polite. I'm a relative. Why not come here to have breakfast? Anyway, Brother Lian came here early in the morning, and he has someone to keep him company!"

Xifeng shook her fan and listened with a smile but said nothing.

Jia Qin's mother, Sister-in-law Zhou, came over with a group of sisters-in-law from the clan. When they saw Jia's mother, they all came forward to salute and said, "If I had known that the old lady was coming, we should have come earlier."

Jia Mu smiled cheerfully and said, "I can't stand it. It's cool today. The chrysanthemums here are blooming well. I could smell the fragrance there earlier, so I said I would come here to relieve my boredom. It's not like you." Which one is not a big family to worry about? I just watch my children and grandchildren having fun all day long!"

Aunt Xue complimented, "No one else is as lucky as the old lady. We are so envious of her."

Baoyu's eyes were already glued to Second Sister You and Third Sister You. Second Sister You was still a little shy and didn't dare to raise her head, but Third Sister You was bold. When Baoyu looked at her, she also looked at her with her eyes. Baoyu, on the contrary, looked a little embarrassed.

Baoyu's mood at this time was like the sun shining brightly outside, thinking that today's trip was really worthwhile. Even though neither the Qin family nor the younger brother came, having this pair of beautiful sisters would be a comfort for the rest of his life.

Zhou looked around, and her eyes only stayed on the You sisters for a moment. She was quite unwilling and asked Daiyu, "Didn't the Qin family girls say they would come? Why haven't they come yet?"

Daiyu said, "I posted the post. Miss Qin didn't say she couldn't come. She must be coming!"

After a while, it was said that Miss Qin's sedan chair had arrived. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stood up to greet her. Mrs. You also stood up and said with a smile, "There is no reason for you to greet her, I'll go for it!"

Not long after, Qin Keqing was welcomed in by the two sisters-in-law. The moment he saw Qin Keqing, Baoyu's whole body froze and his eyes were straight. He couldn't believe that there was such a person in this world. He was so bright and charming. Not inferior to Baochai, more charming and graceful than Daiyu, combining the beauty of two people, charming and charming, she is really the only one in heaven and no one on earth.

Seeing Keqing walking over so gracefully, Baoyu stood up in a daze and offered up the chair under her, "Sister, please sit here!"

He vaguely felt that he had seen this person somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. He had also forgotten that this person was Qin Zhong's sister. A while ago, he was still thinking about how to sit with Qin Zhong.

Qin Keqing saw Daiyu and Jia Mu sitting at the top. She was about to go over to salute when she was stopped by a young man who scared her. She quickly covered her face with a handkerchief. She was very shocked. What was going on here? And a man who has long since grown out of a child?

Seeing this, Xichun smiled and said, "Sister Qin, don't be afraid. This is the second brother. Although he is a man, just don't treat him as a man. Those who hang out among us all day long, just treat him like us." It’s a girl.”

As soon as he said this, Qin Keqing couldn't help but laugh and felt more relaxed.

But these words were very unpleasant to Mrs. Wang's ears. She glared at Xichun fiercely and said to herself, "You really have no motherly upbringing to say such things!"
Xichun was young, and her words were childish, but she was glared at by Mrs. Wang, which was quite sarcastic and made her feel uncomfortable.

Daiyu saw this in her eyes, and after meeting Qin Keqing, she said, "Fourth sister, there are many guests today, please help me treat Miss Qin, don't neglect it!"

Xichun felt relieved after taking on this important task. She took Qin Keqing out together and invited her to sit in her yard for a while. Baoyu hurriedly said, "Fourth sister, I'll go too!"

Xichun deeply hated Mrs. Wang for treating her badly. At this moment, she pouted and said, "We are going to my yard, why don't you go together?"

Swallowing the words "Maybe you are also a woman" that came to your lips.

Baoyu stood under the eaves of the corridor, watching Qin Keqing's figure passing by like a willow in the wind, and his heart followed him. He stood blankly, like a statue, and the painting screen walked past him, and saw him move. He didn't move, so he couldn't help but get curious and pushed him, "Second Master Bao, what's wrong with you?"

Unexpectedly, Baoyu was like a stick, and Huaping exerted force wherever he went. As soon as he pushed, he fell to the ground, which frightened Huaping to the point of losing his soul.

In Cong Green Hall, Mrs. Zhou was talking to Jia Mu about her plan to tell Qin Keqing to Jia Qin, "Originally, I told Brother Rong, but unfortunately he doesn't have this blessing. I thought about it, anyway. Brother, this is because the wealth is not going to outsiders, why don't you accept this marriage, so that Brother Rong can rest assured!"

Daiyu curled her lips, what did she say?

If Daiyu had never met Qin Keqing today, she would not be so opposed to the marriage. But now that she has met, would it be a blessing or a curse for such a person to marry Jia Qin, a small family from a small family?
Jia Mu also thought of this and said to Aunt Xue, "This child is born too well. In my opinion, he must be blessed!"

Since Mrs. Wang was the one who initiated this marriage, Aunt Xue did not comment, she just said, "After all, she is a girl from an official family, so her status will not be ignored."

Although Jia Qin is a descendant of the Second Duke Ning Rong, how many generations have passed since then, and now he lives dependent on the Jia family, but he is still a poor family after all.

Mrs. Zhou loved hearing what Aunt Xue said. She didn't expect that Jia Mu would object, so she wanted to recruit Daiyu to help, and said, "Brother and sister, you have seen it too, where can you find such a person? I told your nephew, I just pulled off my old face and helped you make this marriage happen. In the future, you have to treat others well and only those who don’t feel wronged will be the best!"

Daiyu smiled but didn't answer. This Zhou family is really abominable. He didn't even spell out his eight characters yet. He ruined people's reputations like this. It was all the fault of his wife. Daiyu took advantage of drinking water. , glanced at Chao Yuanchun, and saw that she was sitting uneasily, and she understood in her heart that such a big girl would always feel a little uncomfortable when talking about marriage.

If you choose a marriage that Yingchun doesn't want, even if Yuanchun is married, your life in the future may not be easy.

The Sun family is a rich family, but according to Brother Cong, Sun Shaozu is not a good person. Although the eldest sister is more aggressive than the second sister, it is always difficult for a woman to get favor from a man.

Even if the west wind can overwhelm the east wind, how can we feel comfortable living with swords facing each other every day?
Just when Daiyu was meditating like this, a scream suddenly came from Huabing outside, followed by "Second Master Bao, Second Master Bao, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly fall to the ground?"

Hearing that it was Baoyu, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang rushed out first. Seeing Baoyu lying unconscious on the ground, Mrs. Wang screamed and rushed over, hugging Baoyu, "My son, don't scare me." Me, what happened to you?"

Unexpectedly, Baoyu smiled and said, "Oh dear, dear! Don't go, don't go!"

After hearing this, Baochai, who was following out, paused for a moment.

Mrs. Wang didn't care what Baoyu shouted. When she saw Baoyu come to life, she turned from sadness to joy. She stroked Baoyu's sweaty forehead and said, "How are you? My son, don't scare me, you are so How do you feel?"

Baoyu's face was still pale, and beads of sweat fell on his forehead. He slowly turned his head, facing outside the courtyard door, and stretched his hand forward, "Ke Qing, don't go, wait for me!"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she heard clearly now, like five thunders hitting her head, "Baoyu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Jia Mu scolded, "Hurry up and help Mr. Bao in. Where did you get this fox?" Then she asked, "Where is this good man? Why did he fall to the ground? Who of you hit him?" , Knocked him out of all this, and if I find out, I won’t comply.”

Huaping shrank his shoulders in fright, and suddenly felt someone pulling him. He turned around and saw that it was Daiyu, and his heart settled. He was about to step forward to admit it, but Daiyu grabbed him again. This little move was noticed by Jia Mu. In his eyes, he asked, "Is it you who is shouting?"

Huaping hurriedly said, "Yes!"

"Did you knock Baoyu out?"

"To answer the old lady, it's not me, it's..."

At this moment, Qingwen came and stepped forward and said, "Second Master Bao fell to the ground by himself, and Sister Huaping happened to see him!"

Mrs. Wang saw that her son was fascinated by Qin Keqing. At this time, she saw a maid with slender shoulders and a snake waist, who looked a bit like Daiyu. She said angrily, "There are no rules. Have I asked you?"

Qingwen glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely, bit her lip unwillingly, and stepped back. Huaping hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Second Master Bao has been standing blankly. I thought it was strange, so I went up to take a look. , who would have thought that Second Master Bao would just fall to the ground, shouting something."

What are you calling? Call someone else’s girl!

Aunt Xue smiled at the side and said, "It's okay, just ask the doctor to prescribe two soothing medicines and drink, and be prepared to be okay. This girl from the Qin family was born too well. Just now, my soul was taken away. Not to mention Baoyu, where have you ever seen such a fairy-like person among children?

Aunt Zhou also has a good eye. She is so lucky to have found such a good daughter-in-law! "

Mrs. Zhou was murmuring in her heart at this time. It was obvious that Baoyu had fallen in love with the girl from the Qin family. If her son married back, would he still have peace in the future?

If something scandalous happens between the uncle and his nephew and his wife, it will be more than just embarrassing in the future.

At this time, a thought came to Zhou's mind, "The treasure of an ugly wife's family", she couldn't help but smile and said, "This is nothing to do, the Qin family is a family of officials, what kind of family is ours? Zi Lai There is only one thing about marrying high, except for royal princesses, how can there be such a thing as marrying low? "

After saying that, Mrs. Zhou smiled sarcastically.

Daiyu was very disdainful. Only then did she realize that there was something wrong. Why was she shouting everywhere before?It's like they've made love to each other?
Daiyu also didn't expect that the girl from the Qin family would actually see this situation. She was really a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to earth. She was tempted by a woman. She couldn't help but think about what Brother Cong would do if he saw this girl.
Although he won't lose his soul like Baoyu, he must still think about it in his heart, right?
Baoyu was carried to the side room and lay down. He was still out of his mind. His face gradually became as white as paper, and there was a fine line of sweat on his face and body. When he got anxious, he drowned and semened, dyeing a pair of obscene pants. .

Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang were frightened, and they were also scared. They also heard Baoyu shouting "Ke Qing, Ke Qing" repeatedly. Jia's mother was worried that his little human soul would be lured away. Shengming hurriedly shouted, "Come here, call Qin Keqing and ask her to accompany my Baoyu!"

At this time, not to mention the daughter of a fifth-grade doctor, even the princess, Daluo Jinxian, was nothing in Jia Mu's eyes, but no one answered her after she shouted.

After all, this is not Rongguo Mansion. Daiyu still has the final say in everything. Even if Yuanyang and the others want to help, they can't do anything for them. They don't often go to Ningguo Mansion, and they are not too familiar with the layout here. How could they know Xichun? Where did you take Miss Qin?
Xifeng then said to Daiyu, "Hurry up and get Miss Qin here. Look at Baoyu like this. Can you still delay?"

Daiyu said, "Why don't you invite a doctor to come and see you? Miss Qin is here as a guest. Even an ordinary girl can't be accompanied by someone without a matchmaker or a retainer. What's more, the master of the Qin family is a colleague." Mr. Qin’s official position is still higher than Mr. Qin’s, and sister-in-law Zhou previously said that she would hire the girl to Brother Qin. Now the uncle and nephew are fighting, if word spreads, wouldn’t it be a joke! "

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fell back. Baoyu was like this, and Daiyu refused to save her. Why did she care about this now?What could be more important than her son's life?

Mrs. Zhou saw that Mrs. Wang's face was not good-looking, so she hurriedly said, "Brothers and sisters, please don't talk nonsense. I thought this girl from the Qin family was pretty good, but we may not be able to catch her!"

"It's strange for Sister-in-law Zhou to say this. You didn't say anything about whether you were worthy or not before. Who among the eight rooms in these two houses doesn't know that you want to hire a girl to be your daughter-in-law? If I invite Miss Qin to come, tell me What if I go out? Does it make people think that Mr. Bao has taken a fancy to his nephew and wife who have not yet married?"

When Mrs. Wang heard this, what would happen to Baoyu's reputation if she really called the girl here and spread the word?However, seeing that Baoyu was about to die, he didn't care much and said, "I can't care about that at this moment. Let the girl come quickly."

Daiyu winked at Qingwen and said, "Go and take a look and ask Miss Qin if she would like to come over?"

When Jia Mu heard this, she became even more angry and said, "No matter what, she is just a fifth-rank official. Let her come! If there is something wrong with my jade, who can I spare?"

Qingwen made a strange face, twisted her waist, and walked away. The room was very quiet, and she could only hear Baoyu's voice as thin as a gnat saying, "Ke Qing, Ke Qing, wait for me!"

Xue Baochai held the handkerchief tightly, her face as cold as autumn frost. She pursed her lips tightly. She looked towards Daiyu and saw Daiyu sitting on the chair. She looked leisurely and calm, without any trace of that. With such a sense of crisis, she couldn't help but want to ask, had she heard the news that the princess asked the Lord to give Jia Cong?

People are always like this. When they are unlucky, they also hope that others are unlucky. Although others are unlucky, it will not make them feel better, but seeing others miserable than themselves will make them feel better.

Not long after, Qingwen came, but only brought Xichun. Xifeng asked sharply, "Where is the Qin family girl?"

Xichun glanced at Baoyu timidly and said, "Miss Qin said she felt a little uncomfortable, so she left long ago and went back. What happened to Brother Bao?"

Mother Jia was shaking with anger and said angrily, "Send someone to Qin's house and invite Miss Qin!"

In fact, Qin Keqing did not leave when Qingwen sent people there, but Qingwen told Xichun, and Xichun asked Qin Keqing to leave quickly.

Daiyu sat drinking tea and listened to Jia Mu's words, but she remained motionless. Just at this time, Jia Zheng came, stepped in the door and heard these words, and hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, you must not!"

When Jia Mu saw her son coming, she thought she had a backer and cried, "Look at Baoyu, what should I do?"

Although Jia Zheng hated Baoyu for failing to live up to his expectations, he felt very painful when he saw that Baoyu lost two of his three souls and lost six of his seven souls at this time. Doctor, come and see!"

"Hurry up and invite the imperial doctor!" Let him take a look and see if he can tell!"

Jia Zhengnai is a Taoist gentleman, how could he hear such words? When he heard it, he said angrily, "If the evil things are like this, it would be better to disappear, which would be reassuring!"

Mrs. Wang started to cry, "I blame him for not living up to expectations, and I shouldn't say that to him. I am also a person who hopes to win, and this is the only one in total. If he is gone, who do you want me to count on?"

Jia Mu also started to cry and cursed, "You want him to die. What good will it do to you? If he dies, I will only fight for his life. It's not you who instigates and forces him to write and study all day long. When I see you, are you just trying to avoid cats and mice? I’m going to die right now, and you guys have your way, which one should I spare?”

Jia Zheng stood with his head bowed. Hearing this, he felt sad, but he blamed Baoyu for not living up to expectations.

Just at this time, Jia Lian came back from Xuanzhen Temple. He reminded Mrs. Wang that he wanted to invite some monks to come and have a look. Daiyu said, "If you invite monks, they will naturally summon the souls. In my opinion, it is better to use the treasure." It would be better for the second master to move to his own room, so that when the soul comes back, it will be in a familiar place and it will be easier for him to return to his place."

In this way, Jia Mu, Baoyu and others were sent there just now, which saved the monk Tao from going in and out of Ningguo Mansion.
