Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 20 Baochai is very worried about the gap between the two lovers.

Aunt Xue stood up and was about to leave, but Baochai quickly stopped her and said that she had to find Xue Pan first and ask for advice.Aunt Xue sent the maids and women to the back door over and over to meet her, but Xue Pan went to hang out somewhere unknown, waiting left and missing, waiting left and right, only to make Aunt Xue as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, restless. .

But he said that the old lady in Jia's mother's room was getting older after all, and she was a little sleepy before going to work. She was currently sleeping on the couch.

In the Bisha cupboard, Baoyu took advantage of the low prices and kept coaxing Daiyu.

"Is my sister feeling better today?"

"I'm sorry for your concern, Brother Bao. I'm sick over and over again, and I just can't die."

Daiyu looked sad and could not forget the noise she heard through the door that day.

Baoyu was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Zhou'er used to call me brother, why have we become estranged again recently?"

Daiyu wanted to retaliate, saying, "It would be better to let Xiren call you brother," but in the end, she stayed under someone else's roof, forcing herself not to say it out loud, and coughing again and again because of the suffocation.

Zicuckoo said from the side: "Second Master Bao, the girl is ill. Don't say it's the Second Master. Even if we are close, we will be criticized."

Daiyu covered her mouth and coughed twice, then looked sideways at Zicuckoo and said, "You are wronged by being a petty person like me."

Zicuckoo immediately smiled and said, "What did the girl say?"

Just at this moment, Xue Yan came over with a bowl of warm water and said, "Girl, it's time to take medicine."

Baoyu reached out and snatched it away, then brought it to Daiyu's eyes.Daiyu forced herself to sit up, took the bowl, opened her mouth and swallowed the ginseng Yangrong pills Xueyan gave her, and then drank the water to suppress the pills.

Baoyu glanced at it and immediately blamed: "Why is it just water? I also have maple dew tea there, go ask Xiren to get it."

Xue Yan said: "Second Master Bao, Fourth Master Erjian checked the girl's pulse earlier and said that the girl's spleen and stomach are not suitable for drinking tea."

"Is there such a saying?"

Xueyan met Li Weijian that day and felt that he was tall, calm and sincerely considerate of the girl, so she naturally remembered the good son of Fourth Master Jian in her heart.After hearing Baoyu's question, she said: "Yes, Fourth Master Jian also said that the girl is sick as a child, so her daily diet is not clear at all. He also said that the recipe will be sent in a few days."

What Xue Yan said made Bao Yu unhappy.He secretly glanced at Daiyu and saw that she was just silent, and suddenly felt bored.Then he stood up and said, "My sister will be well taken care of. It's hard to see you sick when Xiangyun comes in a few days."

Baoyu walked a few steps outside, and when he saw that he was about to come out of the blue gauze cabinet, he paused and looked back. Then he left the room with Xiren, Meiren and other maids, and it seemed that he was going to the study room again.

Seeing this, Daiyu felt angry again.Although he knew that being together for the rest of his life was just an illusion, and the second master Jia Zheng said that he was self-denial and a return to etiquette, he still had Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao around him. Although his father Lin Ruhai never renewed their relationship, his concubine took several houses... that is Lian Er. Brother Feng is in charge of him, and he finally gave Ping'er a slap in the face in the past two years.

But she just felt depressed, and she always felt that Baoyu seemed to have changed. The invisible barrier stood between the two, making it impossible for Daiyu to treat Baoyu as usual.

Zicuckoo sighed and consoled her: "Girl, it's better not to think about anything else. You must take good care of yourself first."

"Ah."

Daiyu agreed, and just as she was about to lie down, Yuanyang led a little maid holding something into the blue gauze cupboard.

Yuanyang smiled and said, "Miss Lin, this is Qingwen who is with Fourth Master Jian. Following the master's instructions, she came to deliver medicine to Miss Lin."

Qingwen stepped forward to greet her with a sullen face.She was thinking about Li Weijian, who had just been injured in the morning, and had another fight with the murderer in the evening, and she didn't know if the wound would be affected.So she kept the story short and said: "This glass bottle contains medicine. Fourth Master told me to take it six times within two days. It will be useless after two days."

She handed the glass bottle to Zijuan and took out the paper from her sleeve: "This is a recipe and the prescription for this medicine. If Sister Zijuan has time, she can try it according to the recipe. If she can't make it, , so I came to Fourth Master to learn from Qianer."

Zijuan and Xueyan hurriedly thanked her. Daiyu felt a little warm in her heart. She coughed twice and said quickly, "I'm so sick. I'm sorry for my fourth brother Jian. Is fourth brother Jian okay? I didn't know until noon that fourth brother Jian was injured. I'm so tired." I'm sick, so even if I want to take a look, I can't go."

Qingwen said: "Miss Lin, please stop working. Fourth Master... everything is fine."

Saying that, Qingwen bowed down and said, "If there's nothing else to do, I'll go back."

Daiyu said: "It's dark outside and there are snow geese. I went to pick up a lantern to send it off."

Xue Yan agreed and led Qingwen out of the blue gauze cabinet.

Zijuan looked at the glass bottle in her hand and said, "Fourth Master Jian is really thoughtful."

Daiyu responded, feeling a little worried in her heart.Earlier, Sanchun, Sister Feng, and the Qin family from Dongfu all sent palace flowers from Zhou Rui's family. Only two flowers were left, which made Daiyu stunned.

She always knew that Mrs. Wang didn't like her. The more the old lady doted on her, the more Mrs. Wang became displeased.The wife of Zhou Rui's house was Mrs. Wang's roommate. She had to get the master's permission. How could a roommate dare to treat her so slowly?
In comparison, Fourth Brother Jian's words make people feel like spring breeze, and the concern in his eyes cannot be false.No wonder his father stated in the letter that if he was in trouble, he could ask Li Weijian for help.

Zicuckoo pulled out the cork of the bottle, and suddenly a pungent and spicy smell hit her face. She frowned slightly, looked at the transparent liquid in the bottle, divided it into six portions, and poured out just enough for a small cup.Putting the cup in front of Daiyu, Zijuan said: "What kind of medicine is this prepared by Fourth Master Jian? It really smells bad, girl..."

"Yes." Daiyu took the wine cup, endured the pungent smell, and drank it all in one gulp.A pungent taste went straight from her throat into her lungs, causing Daiyu to cough repeatedly.

Zijuan quickly poured in more water, and Daiyu drank a whole bowl before she could suppress the burning sensation in her throat.Perhaps because of the strong alcohol, Daiyu suddenly felt her body warm up and her spirits improved.

She said: "Bring me the recipe."

Zicuckoo responded and handed over the paper on the dressing table.Daiyu took a glance at it and frowned.Although the recipes listed on it are Jiangnan dishes, most of them contain chili peppers.Looking further down, a line of vigorous handwriting says: Eating less spicy food can nourish the stomach.

It turns out that Brother Jian is really serious.

There was the sound of footsteps outside, and the snow goose that sent Qingwen back came back. He entered the Bisha cupboard and said, "Girl, I just heard the old woman in the hall say that when Fourth Master Jian comes back tonight, he will be there." There was an ambush in the private alley, but thanks to the skills of Fourth Master and the maid named Xiu Ying, not only were they not injured, but they actually captured three of the murderers."

"Ah?" Daiyu was startled and frowned: "It's so easy, where did the murderer come from?"

"I don't know. Later, someone from Shuntian Mansion took the murderer away. The mother-in-law said that this crime was worthy of being sent to the sea."

Daiyu frowned. She had been very smart since she was a child, so she could naturally think of some reasons.The private alley is located between Ning Rong and Ning Rong's two houses. Except for the children of the Jia family, outsiders rarely walk in it. Where did the murderer come from for no reason?I'm afraid that Fourth Master Jian either offended the children of the Jia family or made them jealous, which is why he suffered this disaster.

Fortunately, Fourth Brother Jian is a man of high status, so he can't do any harm to Xiaoxiao.Then she remembered that she had heard that Fourth Brother Jian had a fight with Xue Pan, and she thought, could it be because of this?

....................................

Rikain.

Tongxi walked in quickly and reported quickly: "The uncle is back!"

Aunt Xue and Baochai stood up suddenly, and saw Tonggui and Xiangling walking in with Xue Pan on their hands.Xue Pan was drunk, he reached out and picked Xiang Ling's chin, and said with a smile: "How about I give you a facial tonight?"

Xiangling was so frightened that she quickly turned away, causing Xue Pan to laugh wildly again.Aunt Xue and Baochai came out from the Nuan Pavilion to welcome him. Aunt Xue said anxiously: "My son, where did you go to hang out again? Why did you come back?"

Xue Pan put aside Tong Xi and Xiang Ling, and said with a playful smile: "Mom, sister, I am not hanging around today. In the evening, I hosted a banquet for Mr. Qiao of the Imperial Palace. Mr. Qiao said that he will definitely introduce King Zhongyong in the future. I can't say what our family is like. The errand is better.”

Aunt Xue felt relieved at first, and then asked: "My son, Li Weijian was ambushed by gangsters at night. Let me ask you, is this your mastermind?"

Xue Pan, who was about to sit down, suddenly jumped up: "Were we ambushed? Did the man named Li break his arm or leg? Hey, retribution! Mom said, should I bring the four-color gift to have a look?"

"you--"

No matter how stupid Aunt Xue was, she could tell at this time that this matter must be related to Xue Pan.

Baochai on the side said: "Brother, fourth brother Jian is fine, but he has captured a few murderers, and now they have all been sent to Shuntian Mansion. Brother, tell the truth, is this the beginning and the end of this matter?"

As soon as he heard that Li Weijian was fine, Xue Pan immediately sat down in despair and muttered: "What does it have to do with me? I am not familiar with the place where I was born. Where can I find someone to ambush someone named Li?"

"Brother!" Baochai was also anxious: "This matter has been exposed to Shuntian Mansion. I'm afraid it won't be rectified. If it's found out that it was my brother's instigation, I'm afraid the past events in Jinling will also be revealed. Life is at stake, brother, hurry up Tell the truth."

"Ah?" Xue Pan was startled and said, "Isn't the matter in Jinling settled?"

"My son, Jia Yucun only reported death from a sudden illness. If this is found to be a false report, I'm afraid you will be taken away by Shuntian Mansion!"

Xue Pan frowned and said, "My uncle has just been promoted to an official. How dare the officials of Shuntian Mansion dare to attack me?"

"Brother, no matter how promoted my uncle is to officialdom, he can't be more powerful than Wang Fa."

Xue Pan felt weak in his heart. Seeing Aunt Xue shed tears in anxiety, he murmured for a long time and finally spat out: "Mom, don't cry. I, I just mentioned it to Brother Rong. It was Brother Rong who said that as long as I use it With just one coin, I can give a nice guy named Li..."

Why are you still involved with Jia Rong?

Aunt Xue was confused again. She looked at Baochai and said, "Pan'er just paid out the money, and everything else is under Brother Rong's hands. I don't think your brother will be involved anymore, right?"

Baochai said hurriedly: "Mom is confused. My brother is now a shady man. If Fan Peng comes out and checks the criminal record, the Jinling incident will be revealed!"

"Hey, we can't get involved!"

Aunt Xue didn't hesitate anymore and hurriedly put on her outer clothes and went to see Mrs. Wang to discuss countermeasures.

Baochai stopped her hurriedly: "Mom, it's time to watch this morning, and my aunt and uncle have already gone to bed early. No matter how urgent it is, it's better to go there early tomorrow morning."

....................................

Go to the small courtyard in the northeast.

In the main room, the smoke was thick, and the aroma of borneol spread throughout the room.

Hongyu carefully cut the candle flowers with scissors, fiddled with them twice more, and then stepped aside.

Xiu Ying moved a chair over, and after Li Weijian took off his clothes and sat down, she started to remove the gauze.

"hiss--"

Hongyu's heart tightened: "Fourth Master, does it still hurt now?"

Li Weijian said: "Maybe I didn't pay attention when I started, and pulled it again. Now it's good, I don't dare to use my left arm at all."

Xiu Ying kept moving, pulling off the gauze and applying the ointment. While wrapping the gauze, she said: "This is your first time to do something with someone, and you don't know how to use your strength. It will be better when you do it more often."

Hong Yu blinked, wondering whether he should reprimand Xiu Ying. Li Weijian clicked his tongue and said, "Can you speak? Are you still hoping that I will be ambushed when I see Tian'er?"

"Huh? I didn't—"

Li Weijian smiled and flicked Xiu Ying's smooth forehead: "You speak without thinking. In the future, when there are outsiders, remember to speak less and listen more, so as not to be misunderstood."

"Oh, I made a note."

With a creak, the door opened, and Qingwen turned around the screen and walked in.

The gauze was wrapped again. Li Weijian stood up and let Hongyu tidy up her clothes. He asked Qingwen, "Sent it away? Is Miss Lin feeling better?"

"It doesn't look good. It seems to be heavier than before."

Li Weijian thought that it was only because of himself that Daiyu became angry when she found out about Baoyu's good deeds... I hope the allicin can have some effect.

"Well, it doesn't matter. My medicine will definitely be effective." As he spoke, Li Weijian stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should rest early."

After that, he went into the study on his own.Yan Fenzhen asked before leaving that the Minier rifle must be painted.Moreover, Chief Chen of the Imperial Household decided that the water pump could be built, so Li Weijian accordingly planned the next step.

What’s next?There happened to be a well across the courtyard of the Yan family, so why not use this well for experiments first.If it works, lead a team of craftsmen around to dig wells for people to earn money... Bah, how can you earn money from such hard work?

He was trying to solve the pain point of the capital's water shortage. If he didn't make a big deal out of it and create a big pie to attract money, wouldn't Li Weijian's investment and operation position in his previous life for more than ten years have been in vain?

He has seen this matter many times and is clear about it!
Li Weijian went to the study to write and draw. Xiu Ying left immediately. Hong Yu hesitated a little, but Qing Wen suddenly said: "Xiu Ying, wait a moment."

She stopped the two of them and said, "Fourth Master injured his arm. I'm afraid there will be some inconvenience. There must be someone in this room to take care of him." Then she looked at Xiu Ying: "Xiu Ying, can you take care of Fourth Master? "

"I——" Xiu Ying lowered her head.Li Weijian's injury was caused by her. She was just a wild girl before, how could she do a job of serving others? "—No, not quite."

Qingwen nodded: "Then let me stay."

Hongyu became anxious when she heard this: "Why? Xiuying is careless, and I am also here."

Qingwen asked Xie Hongyu, "When will it be the turn of the third-class maid to serve in the master's house!"

"You—" Hongyu was speechless, feeling ashamed and wanting to pounce on Qingwen and tear Qingwen's mouth open.
