Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 260 Xiangyun enters the garden
But Baoyu ran all the way out of Mrs. Wang's courtyard and entered the Grand View Garden. He saw the red sun in the sky, the shade of the trees on the ground, the sound of cicadas in his ears, and no one saying a word.

As soon as I arrived in front of the rose stand, I heard someone sobbing quietly. When Baoyu arrived at the flower hole in the fence and looked around, he saw a girl holding a hairpin to scratch the soil and shedding tears silently.

When Baoyu saw the girl's color, she secretly thought that she must not be a maid in the garden, but maybe one of the twelve little actors. After observing it carefully and imitating the strokes of the hairpin, I was surprised to realize after a while that what the girl drew was the character "rose".

One of the two people painted seriously, the other looked at it in a daze. Suddenly a cool breeze passed by, and a gust of rain fell.

Baoyu saw that the girl was soaked and hurriedly spoke. The two of them spoke briefly and then dispersed. Baoyu was going to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to take shelter from the rain, but he thought that Wei Jianyu must be in the pavilion. If he went there at this time, he might cause some controversy. Because my mood was waning, I ran all the way back to Qilaizhai.

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

Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

A sudden shower of rain came, and the rhododendrons and snow geese were watching the rain curtain under the eaves. Suddenly, a pair of colorful mandarin ducks in the garden fell in the yard. Their wings were probably wet, and they did not fly away for a while. One of them called "Quagua" ', one is called 'Oher Oher', clustered together in one place is so interesting.

It happened that the maid next to the old lady came to deliver rose dew, and Xue Yan smiled and said: "A golden mandarin duck left, and a pair of colorful mandarin ducks came, geez, it's a good sign."

Zicuckoo smiled and looked back upstairs. Maybe she heard the voice, and the sound of the piano stopped. Zicuckoo smiled and said, "You talk so much that you make the girl think wrong again."

Xueyan pouted and said nothing, Zijuan said, "I'll go see the girl," and turned around and returned to the room.

In the study room, Daiyu had already moved to the desk and was playing with an exquisite bamboo flower basket with various flowers inserted into it.

Large pink hollyhocks, double silvery-white gardenias, and large red pomegranates are combined with light green and white night lilies, pink orange, and pink and white daylilies. In addition, the handle of the flower basket is wrapped with silk, and it looks like a real bouquet of flowers. , colorful.

Zicuckoo said happily: "A girl can do this? It's so beautiful."

Daiyu was overcome with emotion, holding her cheek in her hand and said, "But it's just something you mess around with, where can it be better?"

Zicuckoo then came over and said, "I have never read a book, so I can't say anything good about it. Anyway, this Dragon Boat Festival scene, girl, is as good as it gets."

Daiyu smiled and looked at the rain curtain outside through the moon cave window.

Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard the banging of the courtyard door. Daiyu Nahan was about to pass by when Xue Yan asked, "Who's knocking on the door?"

A clear female voice came from outside: "Is Miss Lin here? I'm Xiang Ling."

Zijuan was confused: "Is Xiangling here?"

Daiyu hurriedly stood up and ordered: "Come here now, I guess she must have been soaked in the rain. Go and find her some dry clothes."

Zicuckoo got the order and went to look for it. When Daiyu stopped where she was, she saw a little girl running away in the rain, opened the courtyard door, and then ran in with Xiangling smiling.

When Dai Yu walked out of the study, she saw that Xiang Ling's bun was sticking to her temples, with little drops of water dripping from her hair. The clothes on her body were indeed soaked.

Xiangling didn't care. When she saw Daiyu, she smiled and shouted, "How are you, master?"

Daiyu came over and said angrily: "How old are you? It's raining heavily right now, so you don't know how to avoid it?"

Xiangling said with a smile: "Why didn't you avoid it? I was hiding in Qinfang Pavilion just now, thinking that the rain was covered above my head, and I would come back later. Who would have thought that the rain would stop, and the wind would become more and more crazy-" As he spoke, He raised his arms and turned around: "If you don't believe me, girl, look, my upper body didn't get much rain."

Xue Yan now brought handkerchiefs, handed one to Xiang Ling, and took the other to wipe it with.

Daiyu estimated the time and said: "You too, what if it's a little later or a little earlier? At worst, I'll teach you a little more time."

Xiangling only smiled and said nothing. She is living a comfortable life now. Aunt Zhen is getting better and better, and the Fourth Master is no longer restraining her. He can come to Daiyu to study poetry every now and then. Even a god would not change her life.

Then Zicuckoo came again and said with a smile: "There are only two pieces of my old clothes, Aunt Zhen, don't dislike them."

This statement made Xiang Ling spit, and then she changed her clothes with a smile.

After a while, Daiyu Xiangling sat side by side, one holding a book in his hand and teaching carefully, the other holding a pen and meditating, sometimes showing his face, and there was agarwood smoke curling up from the incense burner, feeling lazy and leisurely inside, it was Li Weijian who saw it Be crazy.

When it was time to light up the fragrant water bottle and revise a poem, Daiyu couldn't help but smile and said: "You are so obsessed with this, aren't you getting better and better day by day? That's great. I can't even join the poems on New Year's Day, but I'd like to ask you to help me."

Xiangling said happily: "Master taught me better." After a pause, she saw that Xueyan and Zicuckoo were outside, and Wei Jianyu was also in the front room, so she took out an oil paper bag from the small bag she was carrying. The object came, it was so bulging that I couldn’t tell what it was.

"what is this?"

Xiangling blinked and said mischievously: "Girl, smell it?"

Daiyu lowered her head and smelled it, then her eyes lit up: "Meat dumplings?"

Xiangling nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and my family is making rice dumplings right now. Aunt Fu asked Fourth Master about his taste early in the morning. Fourth Master said it was casual, but before leaving, he came back and ordered more salted egg yolk meat. Rice dumplings." The oil paper package unfolded, revealing several small rice dumplings. Xiang Ling added, "There are also some dried plum, vegetable and meat rice dumplings, which I can eat quite well."

Daiyu smiled, feeling warm in her heart. She knew that Brother Jian had a strange taste and liked spicy food, but he didn't like the sweet Jinling cuisine very much. As for rice dumplings, I learned to eat jujube rice dumplings and red bean rice dumplings like the people in the capital.

This time the roll call was made to make more meat dumplings, I am afraid that I was also thinking about myself.

Xiang Ling then warned: "Fourth Master said, just taste it and it will be good. This thing is not easy to digest. Girls, please don't eat too much and accumulate food."

Daiyu said angrily: "I'm not that greedy, why bother telling me?"

At this time, the clouds and rain outside dispersed, and the setting sun shone in the evening. Xiangling packed up her poems, stood up and said with a smile, "It's getting late, so I should go back."

Daiyu suddenly stopped, turned around and picked up the flower basket, then thought about putting it down and said, "Please stay a little longer."

Then he stood up, took some hostas from the vase, came back and carefully decorated the flower basket. Xiangling also understood it a little bit, but she couldn't understand why a small hosta was inserted among the large group of flowers.

After a while, Daiyu brought a flower basket and stuffed it to Xiangling: "Take this back for the occasion."

Xiangling did not agree, but whispered and delivered it to the fourth master, which made Daiyu angry, and then left happily.

There was nothing else to do that day, but at night, Zijuan saw Daiyu frowning in thought from time to time, and she felt strange in her heart. But no matter how she asked, Daiyu never spoke. After struggling until the second watch, she urged Daiyu to sleep.

Turn around and it's Dragon Boat Festival, with hairpins on the door and tiger talisman on the arms. At noon, Mrs. Wang held a banquet and invited the Xue family's mother and daughter to enjoy the afternoon.

The story of Jin Chuan'er's expulsion has long been known to everyone. Because there was only light conversation during the dinner, Baochai was still angry because of the phrase "Yang Fei" and ignored Baoyu. When Daiyu went south, she sent away the concubine who was causing trouble and also met Qianxue in Li Weijian's house. He knew what would happen if he kicked out such a girl with a bad reputation, so she didn't want to talk to Baoyu.

Sister Feng is so sophisticated that she will not save Baoyu now. Sister Feng was filled with contempt in her heart. After more than ten years of pampering, her aunt had pampered such an irresponsible person. He teased his mother-in-law in front of her and ran away, leaving her alone.

Even the useless Jia Lian is better than Baoyu!
I really don't know where Mrs. Wang's thoughts came from, she just focused on seeking the Jia family's property and title for Baoyu. So what if the plan is achieved? Can such a person hold on?
Sister Jia Yingchun saw that everyone was bored, and everyone was bored. Therefore, everyone sat for a while and then dispersed.

At noon, Zijuan and Xueyan saw Daiyu gloomy and came over to express concern. Daiyu only said: "When people get together, they disperse. When we get together, we are happy. When we disperse, isn't it cold? Being cold makes us sad, so it's better not to be cold." It is good to gather together. For example, when the flowers are in bloom, they are admired, but when they fade, they are more sad, so it is better not to bloom."

Hearing this, the two girls Zijuan and Xueyan realized that for some reason the girl was feeling depressed again. They wanted to relieve themselves but had no way to start, so they had no choice but to go to the small kitchen and order some for Daiyu to eat.

In the evening that day, Daiyu looked sad again, holding her chin up and thinking, and suddenly figured out: Fourth brother Jian has a lot of family affairs every day, so he must not know the meaning of the hosta flower, so it is possible that he missed it.

Although she was thinking this way, she could not help but feel a little sad. Zicuckoo and Xueyan were waiting for them after washing. Daiyu changed into aqua green gown with a light blue tube top underneath. She was wearing a white gauze skirt. She lay down sleepily but did not fall asleep for a long time. Suddenly, she heard something heavy falling to the ground. Voices.

Her heart moved, she stood up and took a look at Nuange, and saw that this girl Xueyan had already fallen into a deep sleep. Daiyu stood up, took off her shoes, and moved to the study. Just as she stopped in front of the desk, she heard a knock on the moon hole window.

Daiyu opened the window and saw Li Weijian in soap clothes appearing in front of the window with a smile.

Daiyu covered her mouth in surprise, looked around, and hurriedly let Li Weijian into the room. When Li Weijian came in, she came closer and said, "Why are you here... again?"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "Yesterday, my sister sent me a Dragon Boat Festival scene, but I didn't appreciate the flowers much. At that time, I only looked at the beauty. This morning, Qiu Fang accidentally revealed that the hosta flower is also called tuberose, and I knew it. "Sister's intention."

How can Daiyu admit it? Because of this, Nan Ran said: "I just matched it casually, what's the meaning? It's you who want to misinterpret it."

Li Weijian smiled and nodded: "It turns out that I misunderstood... A misunderstanding is a misunderstanding. I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and I am very worried about my sister."

Daiyu was silent and just looked at Li Weijian secretly, with a look that seemed both angry and happy. Li Weijian turned back and closed the window, moved the chair away, put his hands on Daiyu's shoulders and let her sit down, while he sat on the desk with his legs tilted.

Li Weijian was condescending and caught a glimpse of the two groups of fireflies. His heart immediately warmed up, and Daiyu immediately looked over with her heart filled with anger.

Li Weijian said: "How about my sister sits on the head and I sit on the chair?"

Daiyu stood up without saying anything, pulled out her chair, jumped onto the table, and sat down with Li Weijian.

Daiyu asked: "How are you doing today?"

Li Weijian said: "It was quite a lively event. I made five-colored threads and made two small boats. I had a dragon boat race with Qingwen and the others at home. I also made a few soft bows and shot the powder balls back."

The so-called shooting of rice dumplings is to hang the rice dumplings and use a soft bow to shoot ten steps away. If the shot misses, drink wine; if all hits, drink with everyone sitting there.

Then he said: "Yes, Xiangling also made a poem for fun. I think it's good. I'll let her tell it to you, my master, later."

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's so lively, but it's a pity that the room here is bland and not interesting."

Li Weijian took the opportunity to pull her hand and whispered: "When my sister comes over in two years, we will have fun together."

Daiyu turned her head and said nothing. She was not tall enough, because the pair of golden lotuses were more than half a foot off the ground. They had just stayed together before, but now they were slowly kicking back and forth.

After a long while, Daiyu said: "Did you change into black clothes on purpose?"

Li Weijian scratched his head and said, "Forget it. Sister-in-law Qin said that last time a mother-in-law got up at night and saw a white shadow in the distance. She thought it was haunted and didn't dare to stay in the garden for several days. Fortunately, it was the mother-in-law. If it were the girl next to me who really scared someone, wouldn't it be my fault? "

Daiyu blinked and immediately covered her mouth and giggled non-stop. Thinking that the last time Li Weijian wore moon-white clothes, she was so scared that her mother-in-law didn't dare to come to the garden, she couldn't stop laughing.

After laughing, Xu felt relieved. Daiyu was full of joy at this moment, but she was no longer shy. I just looked for Li Weijian to talk about the situation in the past few days, and then said: "Yes, Jin Chuaner, who is next to my wife, has been kicked out of the house."

Li Weijian was startled when he heard this. He vaguely remembered the incident and asked, "Why is it this time?"

Daiyu curled her lips slightly and said disdainfully: "Isn't he that person? He provoked Jinchuan'er and happened to be caught by the wife. He ran away quickly, leaving Jinchuan'er alone to suffer."

"It's Baoyu again."

Daiyu frowned and said, "I thought he was a good guy a few years ago. I don't know why, but it's become more and more unpleasant in the past two years. Whenever he admits his mistake and expresses his annoyance, he asks for money again. Chuan'er, why is this happening?" He paused and said, "Yes, it seems that Jinchuan'er is a child of the same family. How will he live in the future if he is kicked out?"

Li Weijian pondered for a moment and said, "Sister, do you still remember Bihen?"

Daiyu nodded, knowing that Bihen was originally Baoyu's maid, and later... she was kicked out of the house by Jia's mother.

Li Weijian said: "Last year, Qianxue was wandering around during her break. She passed by Rouge Alley and saw Bihen..."

Daiyu was shocked and then fell silent.

Rouge Alley is the famous smoke street and Liuxiang in the capital. How can a girl get a good son living here?

Daiyu couldn't help but feel sympathy, and stopped talking several times. He wanted to rescue Jin Chuan'er, but he didn't want to trouble Li Weijian too much.

Li Weijian's thoughts changed and he roughly understood his intentions, so he said casually: "Sister, do you want to save Jinchuan'er?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "Although Jinchuaner is a little frivolous, there is nothing wrong with it. After all, it is a human life, you -"

Li Weijian nodded, then put his hand around Daiyu's shoulder, letting her lean gently into his arms, and whispered: "My sister is soft-hearted. Since you said so, I will think of a way."

"It's not too tiring..."

"It's okay."

"Yes." Daiyu agreed softly, and suddenly she was leaning in Li Weijian's arms, and she was too embarrassed to look up.

The study gradually became more charming. Li Weijian was afraid that Daiyu would be frightened away, so he said, "This matter is easy to say. I will just send Hongyu and Xiuying to inform my second sister-in-law early tomorrow morning."

"Second sister-in-law? Sister Feng?" Daiyu raised her head in confusion.

Li Weijian then said leisurely: "Now my wife and my second sister-in-law are at odds with each other... They are not in harmony with each other." Then he briefly explained the reason, and Daiyu was amazed.

It’s no wonder that the undercurrents in this mansion are surging and the waves are treacherous. Think about it, it has become a tripartite force at this time!
Li Weijian explained the reason, and then said: "My sister will always be in charge of the house, and she must listen to these general affairs to avoid being deceived."

Daiyu raised her smoky eyebrows and said, "Who said I don't know anything about common people's affairs?"

"Okay, okay, my sister knows the world but is not worldly."

Daiyu punched him lightly in anger, and then placed it against his heart. Listening to the pounding heartbeat, I just regretted that the night was too short, if only it could stay like this.

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

The next day was the sixth day of May. Following Li Weijian's instructions early in the morning, Hongyu led Xiuying from Houtou Garden to Rongguo Mansion.

On the way, Xiu Ying said confusedly: "It's so good. Why did you teach me this method? To save people, you need to blow air from mouth to mouth... Do you think it is necessary to get rid of some yang energy?"

Hongyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are so careless, can Fourth Master still harm you?"

Xiu Ying suddenly shook her head: "Of course not."

Yesterday, Xiu Ying was on night watch. Because she drank too much wine during the day and had a wild scene with Li Weijian, she fell asleep just after the watch. When he got up early in the morning, Li Weijian didn't deal with her. He just caught her and insisted on teaching her how to save a drowning person... It was really weird.

After thinking about it randomly, I arrived at Sister Feng's courtyard in a blink of an eye.

The little maid Feng'er saw it and knew that the second mistress liked ruby ​​the most, so she pulled her inside. When I got inside, Wang Xifeng was having breakfast. When he saw Hongyu, he smiled and said, "Why are you here now? Is there something wrong?"

Hongyu smiled and said, "But I have something to ask Second Grandma for." She glanced at Feng'er as she spoke.

The last time Wang Jiren saw it, Wang Xifeng slept in a separate room with Jia Lian. He was too old to hold Jia Lian captive all the time and let him find a young boy to make trouble, so he sent Ping'er to take care of him. Because there were only a few maids left in the room at this time.

Wang Xifeng heard Xian Zhiya's intention and ordered: "Hongyu came so early, I didn't expect to eat much, so I went to get the chopsticks, and then went to the kitchen to ask for breakfast for Hongyu."

The maid agreed and hurriedly left the room.

Hongyu came over and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Wang Xifeng felt puzzled and said, "Jinchuaner?"

Hongyu lowered her voice and said, "Second Grandma can't just worry about these trivial matters. Jin Chuan'er has a sister, Yu Chuan'er, who is still in the wife's room. Besides, Bai Zhan is the wife's roommate."

At this time, Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang were at odds with each other, and both had their own plans. When I heard this, my eyes suddenly lit up, yes! With Yuchuan'er here, if the news is leaked once out of ten times, he will be considered a good person! Furthermore, although Bai Zhan is not a good person, he is also a comprador in the government. If you sell him well, he will definitely be useful in the future.

Thinking about this, Wang Xifeng smiled and poked Hongyu's forehead: "Ghost girl, you are the only smart one!"

Hongyu apologized, and Wang Xifeng said: "Okay, I'll go to their house later to have a look. I happen to have a shop selling Songjiang cloth in the city, so I'll send Jin Chuan'er to find a job."

Hongyu hurriedly agreed, feeling relieved that the errand assigned by the fourth master was finally completed.

After breakfast, when Ping'er came back, Wang Xifeng took Ping'er, Hongyu, Xiuying and several maids and women, and headed to Bai Zhan's house.

Halfway through, Ping'er's eyes were sharp, and he saw a woman stumbling toward the well in the southeast corner, crying, and Ping'er was suddenly horrified: "Isn't that Jinchuan'er?"

Wang Xifeng was shocked when she saw it, and quickly ordered: "Go and stop him!"

Immediately, the maid and the mother-in-law rushed to the well together. Xiu Ying was very agile and came first, and she jumped over in a few steps. However, Jin Chuan'er had already been determined to die. Xiu Ying stretched out her hand and pulled off only one sleeve, and Jin Chuan'er fell upside down into the well. Wang Xifeng is anxious! Even the old lady was alarmed by the incident. It was all Mrs. Wang's fault. If she didn't save her, it would be her own fault.

Immediately, they hurriedly ordered people to salvage, but they saw Xiu Ying hanging down the windlass rope into the well, using a dagger to cut off the connected barrels, and tied them to Jin Chuan'er's waist. Then she called on everyone to pull up quickly.

After a lot of work, the person fished it out, but his face was pale and his chest did not rise at all.

Ping'er said in shock: "Grandma, I'm afraid I can't be saved!"

While Wang Xifeng was murmuring, she saw Xiu Ying climbing up and shouting: "Get out of the way, I have a way to save her!"

At that moment, the maid and mother-in-law were about a minute away, and Xiu Ying quickly stepped forward, pressed Jin Chuan'er's chest and pressed her repeatedly, then pinched her nose and blew into her mouth.

After a lot of busy work, Wang Xifeng was about to say something when she saw Jin Chuan'er opening her mouth and spitting out a stream of water, coughing again and again, and then opened her eyes and gasped for breath.

It’s really alive!
Regardless of herself, Xiu Ying must have learned her skills from Brother Jian!
At this time, I heard Jin Chuan'er cry: "What are you doing to save me? It's better to die cleanly!"

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows and scolded: "How old are you that you have to live and die? Your parents raised you for a while and didn't see you repaying them. How can you die like this? Is it worthy of your parents?"

Jin Chuan'er was speechless and could only cry.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly sent Ping'er to look for Bai Zhan's family. After a while, Bai Zhan and his wife, Jin Chuan'er's brothers and Yu Chuan'er came to look for them crying. Bai Zhan's family threw themselves on Jin Chuan'er, shouting, "My Son', first slapped Jin Chuan'er, and then slapped himself several times.

Bai Zhan's beard was trembling wildly, and after a long while he sighed and came over to meet Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng then said warmly: "Bai Guanshi, this matter... I don't want to say much. Anyway, it won't reach this point. You know what the situation is. I don't think Jin Chuan'er can stay in the house, so why not go to my cloth village and be fooled?" An errand."

Bai Zhan was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you very much, Second Grandma, for taking care of me. I will remember Second Grandma's kindness in the future."

At that moment, his wife and daughter came over to thank him, which made Sister Feng feel weird. At first, I only thought that the theory of Buddhism and Taoism was nonsense, but now I suddenly realized that "saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda", the pagoda is not on the outside, but on the inside.

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

At noon, Mrs. Wang, Xue Baochai, and Lin Daiyu were sitting in Mother Jia's room, when someone replied: "Miss Shi Da is here."

Suddenly, Shi Xiangyun led many maids and wives into the courtyard. Baochai, Daiyu and others hurriedly met at the foot of the stairs. The young sisters have not seen each other for menstruation, but once they meet, it is needless to say that they are intimate. When I entered the room, I said hello and I have seen them all.

Everyone had talked about Xiangyun's childhood embarrassments. When Daiyu told her that Xiangyun had fallen into a ditch the year before last, Baochai smiled and said to Nurse Zhou, "Mother Zhou, aren't you girls still so naughty?"

Grandma Zhou smiled and shook her head: "No."

Yingchun smiled and said: "It's just naughty, but I think she likes to talk. I don't see her croaking or croaking when she sleeps there. She laughs and talks for a while, but I don't know where those words come from."

Mrs. Wang thought of the previous incident with Xiaopin and said, "I'm afraid it's better now. Seeing my mother-in-law's house, I'm still the same."

Jia Mu looked at Yingxue and said, "This girl looks at Yansheng."

Xiangyun then smiled and said, "I don't know, my aunt, but this is the girl my third aunt gave me as a gift. I feel very smart after only a few days."

Seeing that the color of the Yingxue was not very good, Jia Mu just smiled and nodded without saying anything more.

Xiangyun was about to ask Baoyu when he suddenly remembered what Yingxue had just told him in the car. Then he remembered, yes, now that he has an in-law, he couldn't bother asking the man next to him. So he held it in for a long time and turned to talk to Tanchun again.

At this moment, Baoyu came.

After the two exchanged greetings, Xiangyun narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "How is Sister Xiren?"

Baoyu said: "Thank you for remembering me."

Xiangyun said: "I brought her something good." As he said that, he took out a handkerchief and held it in his arms.

It turned out to be four crimson rings. After Xiangyun and Daiyu chatted with each other, it became clear that the rings were actually given to Yuanyang, Xiren, Jinchuan'er and Ping'er.

Xiangyun is just charming and naive, but not stupid. These four maids are all the eldest maids beside the master, and they can be said to be of inferior position and power. Xiangyun thought about living in Jia's house permanently from now on, so he had to make friends with these maids to avoid being bullied again.

The sisters had been arguing for a long time. Daiyu saw that Baoyu and Xiangyun had been acquainted for a while and came to look for her again, so she hurried back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Baoyu immediately chatted and left. As soon as he left, Baochai followed him, so everyone dispersed.

Jia Mu then said to Xiangyun: "The Yihong Courtyard has been sorted out early in the morning. Just ask the maids and mothers to put down the things. Have tea, take a rest, and go see your sisters-in-law. There are also things in the garden. Cool down and go shopping with your sisters."

Xiangyun agreed, wrapped the three rings, rested for a while, then got up and came out of Jia Mu's courtyard. She first went to sit in Sister Feng's children's courtyard. After learning that her elder sister-in-law Li Wan was taking a break today, she went to Daoxiang Village to sit there. Because of Li Weijian, Xiangyun knew that Li Wan would be his eldest aunt the next day, so Xiangyun sat for a while longer.

After coming out of Daoxiang Village, I went to look for the attackers again. I saw many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, so I turned around and said, "You don't have to follow, just watch your friends and relatives go. Leave Cuixi... Yingxue to serve you."

After everyone heard this, they went to look for their aunt and sister-in-law, and the three masters and servants walked forward again.

Yingxue is a well-mannered person, but she doesn't talk much. Maybe it's because she is new here and she doesn't know Xiangyun's temperament yet. Cui Wei has been serving Xiangyun since she was a child, so she no longer has such scruples. Seeing lotus leaves in the Qinfang River, he asked, "Why aren't these lotus flowers blooming yet?"

"The time has not come yet."

Cui Lu said: "This is the same as the one in our pond, is it also a house flower?"

Xiangyun said: "Theirs is not as good as ours."

The two people asked and answered questions, talking about yin and yang.

Xiangyun then said: "...the heaven and the earth are endowed with the two qi of yin and yang, which may be good or evil, strange or strange, and are ever-changing. Yin and yang are all in harmony and reverse. How many people are born, and how rare it is for people to be strange, but in the end the principles are still the same. "

Cui Lu said: "So, from ancient times to the present, the creation of the world has always been yin and yang?"

Xiangyun laughed and said: "What nonsense! The more you talk, the more you fart. Everything is just yin and yang. Is there still a yin and yang? The two words 'yin' and 'yang' are just one word. When the yang is exhausted, it becomes yin. Yin When it is exhausted, it becomes yang, not when yin is exhausted and another yang is born, but when yang is exhausted, another yin is born.”

As he talked, he walked. As soon as he arrived near Qinfang Bridge, he ran into Li Weijian who was walking quickly.

Before Cuixi could make a sound, Xiangyun beckoned from afar: "Fourth Brother Jian!"

Without Yingxue's words, Cui Lu hurriedly said: "Girl, be reserved."

"Huh?" Xiangyun then remembered that he had accepted Xiaopin, but he couldn't be so careless. Thinking of marrying this person one day, Xiangyun suddenly buried his head and became a little nervous.

Over there, Li Weijian raised his hand and waved in response, and immediately came closer. He lowered his head and looked at Xiang Yun, whose face looked like a red apple, and said with a smile, "Sister Yun just arrived?"

"Well. Why are you... Fourth Brother Jian here?" Xiangyun suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, but did not dare to raise his head when he spoke.

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Shilang Jia is here for a visit, and Master Zheng invited me to come and keep him company."

Xiangyun muttered: "Well, then go quickly."

Li Weijian thought about it and said, "My sister came just in time. The Military Academy has just built something. I don't know what the future is. I'll have someone deliver it to me someday. How about I try it out."

Xiangyun finally raised his head and asked curiously: "What is it?"

"bike."

"what?"

"Sister, I'll know in a few days." Li Weijian nodded slightly and walked outside the Grand View Garden. While walking, there was a sudden clang, and a golden object fell onto the bluestone floor.

Li Weijian seemed to know nothing. Xiangyun hurriedly called out: "Fourth brother Jian!"

She ran forward and picked up the thing, and after just one glance, she was speechless. I saw a golden unicorn in the palm of my hand with brilliant cultural colors. It was bigger and more colorful than the one I was wearing.

At this time, Li Weijian turned around and said angrily: "I was walking in a hurry and almost lost this thing. Thank you Sister Yun!"

Xiangyun whispered: "Where did Fourth Brother Jian get it?"

"The old lady gave it to me that day, saying it was a congratulatory gift."

Congratulations... you don’t know what you are congratulating. Xiangyun suddenly blushed and forgot to hand back the golden unicorn.

These golden unicorns come in pairs and have always been a treasure of historians. She has worn them since she was a child. Her great-aunt always said that when these golden unicorns come into a pair, she will have a good marriage.

Now that I think about it, I really do! Just... I wonder if Fourth Brother Jian will hit him. I wanted to ask, but I was a little embarrassed to ask.

"Sister Yun?"

"Oh, oh." Xiangyun hurriedly returned the golden unicorn and joked: "Fortunately, I saw it. If I lose the seal tomorrow, let's see what you will do!"

Li Weijian smiled and said: "If you lose the seal, you lose it. You can't lose this."

After taking back the golden unicorn, Li Weijian hung it up close to his body and then left. It wasn't until his figure left the Grand View Garden that Xiangyun withdrew his gaze.

Turning around, he saw Cuixi's eyes full of teasing and joking. Xiangyun immediately gritted his teeth and said in annoyance: "Dare to be a good son for you!"

Cuixi pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Girl, I didn't say anything."

The master and servant had a fight and then headed towards Qixie Zhai, which is not to be mentioned.

However, Li Weijian went all the way to Jia Zheng's study and saw Jia Yucun chatting and laughing with Jia Zheng. After meeting Li Weijian, Jia Yucun became more and more enthusiastic. After sitting down, he looked for Li Weijian and talked for a long time.

He is now the Minister of the Ministry of War. At this time, the Ministry of War is responsible for the selection and conferment of military positions, punishments, military registration, ordnance and other matters. The responsibility for dispatching troops and generals is shared by the Five Military Departments.

To put it bluntly, the Ministry of War is in charge of logistics, but some of the ordnance production tasks have been assigned by the inner government. Because to mobilize ordnance, you always have to deal with the inner government.

The new official of Jiayu Village took office and was very busy, but he repeatedly encountered obstacles in the inner government. I had no choice but to think about it and came to Rongguo Mansion.

On the one hand, Jia Zheng was upright and could be bullied, so he took the opportunity to make friends with Li Weijian; on the other hand, because of the old incident in Jinling, Jia Yucun had severely offended Wang Ziteng, and this time Jia Zheng could not make things right.

Li Weijian knew what Jia Yucun was, because although he couldn't control his posture, he still looked businesslike.

Seeing Li Weijian like this, Jia Yucun didn't force him. It was better to handle business affairs openly than to try to make things difficult, so he turned to ask Baoyu.

After a few words of praise, Jia Zheng took it seriously and immediately sent for Baoyu.

Over there, Xiangyun gave the ring as a gift and chatted with Xiren again. When Baoyu came back, Yingxue hurriedly pulled Xiangyun's sleeve quietly. Xiangyun suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly got up and went to Yihongyuan.

Baoyu was puzzled, wondering why Xiangyun, who was always cheerful, was hiding from him. Just as he was wondering, a mother-in-law came and called, saying that it was the master who invited me.

Baoyu was startled, but when he asked that he was visiting Jia Yucun, he left sadly.

As soon as he left, Baochai came. I looked for the attacker and asked, "What is Miss Yun doing at your house?"

Xiren smiled and said, "We've just been chatting for a while. Look, I'll ask her to make the pair of shoes I glued to my front tomorrow."

When Baochai heard this, he said nothing else and started chatting instead. Just then, an old woman came hurriedly and said, "Where did you start talking about this! Miss Jinchuaner is fine, she threw herself into a well!"

Xiren was startled and asked quickly, "Which Jin Chuan'er?"

The old woman said: "Where are the two Jin Chuan'ers? They are in my wife's room. I don't know why Qian'er kicked her out. She was crying at home and ignored her. Who knows that she fell into a well this morning? ... Fortunately, the second grandma happened to meet me, otherwise I would be dead. "

Baochai said: "This is strange."

When Xiren heard about it, he nodded in admiration. Thinking about the common sentiments and thinking about Jin Chuan'er's words, he could be forced to throw himself into a well. If Mrs. Wang's thoughts were wrong in the future, wouldn't he do the same thing? Because he frowned and kept thinking in his heart.

When Baochai heard this, she hurriedly came to Mrs. Wang to comfort her.

When I arrived at Mrs. Wang's room, I saw that it was completely deserted. Mrs. Wang was the only one sitting in the inner room. Baochai couldn't bring it up, so he had to sit aside.

Mrs. Wang asked: "Where are you from?"

Baochai said: "Come from the garden."

Mrs. Wang said: "Can you see your precious brother?"

Baochai said: "I just saw it. He put on his clothes and went out. I don't know where he went."

Mrs. Wang nodded for a long time and sighed: "Do you know a strange thing? Jin Chuan'er suddenly fell into a well!"

Baochai said: "How can you throw yourself into a well well? This is strange."

Mrs. Wang said: "It turned out that Qianer broke one of my things. I was angry for a moment, hit her and kicked her out. I only said that I was angry with her for two days and asked her to come up. Who knew she was so I was so angry that I threw myself into the well. Fortunately, Feng Yatou caught me, otherwise it wouldn’t have been my fault!”

Baochai smiled and said: "My aunt is a philanthropic person, of course she thinks so. As far as I know, she didn't throw herself into the well out of anger. Most likely, she went down to live or was playing in front of the well and lost her footing and fell." She is used to being constrained at the top, so when she goes out, she naturally wants to go out and play around. How can she be so generous? Even if she is so generous, she is just a fool, so it is not a pity.

Besides, she didn't die, so why should aunt blame herself? "

Mrs. Wang nodded and sighed: "Even though I said this, I still feel uneasy."

Baochai smiled and said, "My aunt doesn't miss her too much, she is very unhappy, but I gave her a few taels of silver to appease her, and I fulfilled my duty of master and servant."

After comforting Mrs. Wang for a long time, Mrs. Wang finally got better and asked Caiyun to send twenty taels of silver. There was nothing else to say, as long as the Bai Zhan family took good care of Jin Chuaner in the past few days.

After a while, Baoyu returned. At this moment, he also heard that Jin Chuan almost died after throwing himself into a well. Because he was haggard and listless, he was scolded by Mrs. Wang when he came in.

After finally being released, he put his hands behind his back, lowered his head, sighed, and walked slowly. I walked to the hall and just turned around the screen door. I didn't expect a person coming from the opposite side and was walking in, but I bumped into him.

I just heard the man shout: "Stop!"

Baoyu was startled, and when he looked up, he saw it was none other than Jia Zheng and Li Weijian. They took a deep breath and had to stand aside with their hands down.

Jia Zheng said: "You're so good, what are you saying with your head down? Just now Yucun came to see you and asked you to come out for a long time. Once you came out, you didn't have any generosity or talk at all, and you were still in full bloom. Let me see your face. The last time I was feeling depressed, I was coughing and sighing again. You are still not feeling comfortable? Why are you like this for no reason?

Baoyu had always been afraid of Jia Zheng, and he had just been taught a lesson by Mrs. Wang, so how could he still speak out? Just stood there speechless.

Li Weijian said: "Brother Bao must have been touched by the situation? It's just that he has a more delicate mind. Why should I blame him?"

Jia Zheng was already angry, but when he heard the words "delicate thoughts", he became even more angry. It's so shameful for a man to hang out with his sisters all day long! Just as he was about to teach him a lesson, someone suddenly came and said: "Someone is coming from Prince Zhongshun's residence and wants to see the master."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng was puzzled and thought to himself: "I don't usually have any contact with Prince Zhongshun's palace. Why did I send someone here today?"

But Li Weijian suddenly felt like he was here, the Chief of the Palace of Zhongshun? Doesn't that mean Baoyu is going to be beaten? Immediately he said: "Shall I go and take a look with you?"

"That's fine." Jia Zheng agreed and hurriedly sent the person in charge to ask someone to go to the study to talk.

　I was going to beat him up, but I found that I couldn’t beat him even if I didn’t have 16,000 words to do it. I was too sleepy, so I’d better beat him up tomorrow.
