Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 43 Si Qi is secretly thinking about the nobles visiting again and again.
Baoyu and Baochai quickly got up to greet them, and Xiangling hurriedly moved the embroidery pier.

Baochai smiled and said, "How do you say this?"

"If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come." Daiyu took off her outer cloak, sat down next to the embroidered pier, and said: "Either a group of people come, or none of them come. Today you are here. , I’ll come back tomorrow. With such a staggered time, wouldn’t there be people coming every day? It won’t be too lonely, and it won’t be too lively. Why can’t my sister understand this?”

Li Weijian sat on the bedside and looked at the scene in front of him with a smile. Suddenly he felt that he had seen it before, as if he had seen it in a TV series?
Daiyu's words seemed to be out of character, but they were all aimed at Baoyu.The internal reason is nothing more than coming to visit him. Why did Baoyu go to find Baochai instead of Daiyu to come with him?

Looking at Baoyu again, he was smiling, but also a little uncomfortable.He had just come with Baochai, but he didn't see Qingwen and Xiuying, only Xiangling and Hongyu, and they were indeed of outstanding color.The red jade is only slightly less colorful than Qingwen, but Xiangling is not inferior to Qingwen. It looks like she has the character of the daughter-in-law of Brother Rong of Dongfu.

Baoyu suddenly felt cherished in his heart, and was about to ask Li Weijian for it, but Daiyu came instead.In this case, it would be hard to ask for it now.Also, for some reason Brother Jian always stares at the psychic treasure jade hanging on his chest, until the treasure jade secretly trembles...

Because it was Baoyu, he said, "Jingqing can't come now. Since Fourth Brother Jian is fine, I'll go back first."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Isn't that right? He should go as soon as I come."

Baoyu smiled and didn't answer, but said to Li Weijian: "Fourth Brother Jian, I'll be back then."

"Brother Bao, walk slowly, Hongyu, hold an umbrella to see Brother Bao off."

"Hey." Hongyu responded and hurriedly went to send Baoyu away.

As soon as Baoyu left, Daiyu looked at Li Weijian and saw that his mouth and nose were covered with a cloth handkerchief. She then asked in surprise: "Why is Fourth Brother Jian's mouth and nose blocked?"

Baochai laughed at the side and said: "Fourth brother Jian said he was afraid that he would be sick, so he found a cloth to seal his mouth and nose. We came to visit the sick, but it was a trouble for fourth brother Jian."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Fourth brother Pianjian is careful, we are not made of clay, how can we get over the illness?"

Li Weijian shook his head and said: "Sister Lin doesn't know that diseases come from the mouth. This is true. Be careful and you won't make any mistakes."

Daiyu then said with concern: "I heard yesterday that Fourth Brother Jian was ill, so I thought of coming over to visit him, but I didn't know that Fourth Brother Jian had been in a coma for a day. Just now, the maid said that Fourth Brother Jian is getting better today. I begged my grandmother to come and visit.”

She glanced back, and Xueyan quickly handed over the supplements she was carrying.

Daiyu said: "Grandma is also worried. She sent me to bring some tonic. Fourth brother Jian will have to take a good tonic when he comes back."

"Thank you, Sister Lin, and the old lady. Sister Lin will turn around and thank the old lady for me."

"Fourth Brother Jian is a heretic when he says this."

After saying a few ordinary greetings, since Li Weijian and Dai Yu had never met each other a few times and were only familiar with each other, Li Weijian brought up the Yangzhou matter.

This actually led Daiyu to ask questions about her father Lin Hai's situation.After hearing that Lin Hai was fine, Daiyu felt a little relieved and thought again.She followed Jia Hua into the Jia Mansion, and it had been three years since she had seen her father Lin Hai again, so naturally she missed him dearly.

Li Weijian took advantage of the situation and asked about Baochai's illness.Baochai came back, but he was a little absent-minded.

Originally, it was difficult to say some words while Baoyu was here. But now that Baoyu is gone and Daiyu comes again, those words still cannot be said.

After saying a few words absentmindedly, Hongyu, who suddenly returned, happily came over to report: "Fourth Master, Grandma is here with the three girls Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun."

Daiyu stood up and said: "Fourth brother Jian can't accommodate so many people here, so I can't stay for a long time. Fourth brother Jian will be taken care of for the rest of his life. I will come to see fourth brother Jian when he recovers in the future."

"Okay, then Sister Lin, walk slowly."

Daiyu's words helped Baochai stand up.If he stayed any longer, he would lose his face, so Baochai also stood up and said, "Then I'll go back too. Fourth brother Jian, take care."

There was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the talking room. Li Wan led Sanchun inside, and happened to bump into Baochai and Daiyu who were about to leave.

Yingying Yanyan said a few words, Baochai and Daiyu went first, and then Li Wan came in to visit with Sanchun.

Yingchun is shy, Xichun is cold-mouthed and cold-hearted, while Tanchun is full of warmth. As soon as he enters the warm room, he greets with a smile: "Brother Jian, we are here to see you!"

Li Wan reprimanded him with a straight face: "You are so old, but you still don't care about your body and bones. I couldn't find suitable clothes when I got wet, so I dried them before leaving. It's great now, I have to make myself sick all the time. Yes. I came to see you twice yesterday and both of them fell asleep. At least I woke up today, otherwise I would have to go outside to find the imperial doctor again."

She caught a glimpse of the cloth scarf on Li Weijian's face, frowned and asked, "Why are you still able to breathe when your mouth and nose are blocked?"

Li Weijian smiled and bowed his hands, saying, "Sister Lao and the three younger sisters are worried. I was indeed a little reckless before, but I won't do it anymore."

He pointed to the cloth on his face and said, "The disease enters through the mouth, so I'll cover it up to prevent it from getting over."

The maid was busy and moved to the new embroidery pier. Li Wan and Sanchun sat down next to the bed. Li Wan and Tanchun chatted with Li Weijian one by one.

The maid and mother-in-law stayed in the hall.Siqi, the eldest maid who welcomed the spring, only glanced into the Nuan Pavilion when the curtains were opened just now, but she only had a general glance and never saw Li Weijian's face.

Si Qi's heart is complicated and difficult to understand, and he can't explain the feeling.

After begging Fourth Master Jian that day, two days later, my cousin's parents finally got the right deal and used some money to visit their cousin Pan You'an.

When she came back, her aunt said that her cousin only got twenty slaps on the first day when he was brought to court, and then he was left in the prison temple without asking any questions.The next day, another jailer came over and told Pan Youan not to bite randomly, otherwise the Yamen would be able to keep him, but the Jia family would not be able to keep him.

Pan You'an was frightened and fell ill immediately.To this day, only a handful of bones remain.But no matter what, his life was saved.

In the past two days, I heard the news from the government. The eldest master, the master, and the master Dongfu Zhen have been discussing it one after another. I am afraid that the case will be suppressed.Not to mention how Pan You'an will be sentenced in the future, the old lady has already spread word that the Jia Mansion will not be able to keep such a traitorous servant.

Siqi and Pan You'an were in love for a long time, but it was broken by this bolt from the blue - she couldn't become a runaway slave and be exiled thousands of miles with Pan You'an, or be sent to Zhuangzi in Liaodong together, right?

By today, Si Qi had made up his mind, thinking that she and her cousin might not be destined to be together, so he gradually strangled this thought to death.Now seeing Li Weijian again, Si Qi suddenly remembered those clear eyes.

I thought that an upright man like Fourth Master Jian was the one the girl's family could trust for the rest of their lives.So she thought, if that's the case, why not become a matchmaker, help the second girl welcome the spring and connect the fourth master Jian, and then become a dowry maid in the future, so that this life will be considered complete.

After thinking about it for a while, Si Qi became more and more satisfied with it and couldn't help but make plans secretly.

The second girl is about the same age as Fourth Master Jian, and Fourth Master Jian is a kind man. This is indeed a good marriage.Si Qi secretly made up his mind and went back to his grandmother Wang Shanbao's house to discuss it.Even if they are not directed at the second girl, but only at her granddaughter, the Wang Shanbao family will always pass words to Mrs. Xing.

Siqi thought wildly for a long time, and after a while, Li Wan led Sanchun to leave.Si Qi followed the second girl to greet the spring. After leaving the small courtyard and passing through the east corner gate, he arrived at the three-room Xiaobaoxia.

Tan Chun and Xichun chatted and discussed the past mentioned by Li Weijian just now, while the second girl Yingchun sat quietly by herself.

Seeing that he was empty-handed, Si Qi hurriedly came over quietly and whispered: "Second girl, why didn't you say a few more words to Fourth Master Jian just now?"

A girl's feelings are always poetry. Yingchun already had a little thought in her heart. When she heard this, her face turned a little red and she whispered: "I, what should I tell Brother Jian?"

"You can say whatever you want," Si Qi looked at Yingchun's face and said tentatively: "Speaking of it, the second girl is about the same age as Fourth Master Jian, and Fourth Master Jian is a promising man, so he is a good match."

"Don't, don't talk nonsense, keep talking nonsense...I..." Yingchun's face became increasingly red as her thoughts were exposed. She spoke garbledly and for a moment she didn't know how to refute.

Si Qi observes people's words and emotions, how could he still not know that there is a reason for this?Immediately he had a clue in his mind, so he smiled and said: "I'm just making a joke, why are you two girls so anxious? Let me tell you, for a person like Fourth Master Jian, there is no telling how many people will be listed on the gold list in the future. I'm here to catch my son-in-law. It would be a pity if the second girl missed it."

In the Spring Festival, I suddenly worry about gains and losses, but I don’t have the courage to fight for it.After thinking for a long time, he sighed helplessly and looked for the chapter on Taishang Induction and flipped through it randomly.She held it in both hands, but she didn't turn the pages for a long time, and her mind wandered to nowhere.

Si Qi, who was watching secretly, felt even more proud, thinking to himself, isn't this a twist in the eight characters?
..........................................

But in the main room in the northeast upper courtyard, as soon as Li Wan led Sanchun away, the originally crowded main room suddenly seemed empty.

It's different for those who practice martial arts as children. Xiu Ying was very energetic after only two hours of sleep. When she got up, she followed Li Weijian's instructions and got a big pile of garlic. She was busy pounding garlic at the moment.

Xiangling helped peel garlic outside, while Hongyu accompanied Li Weijian in the warm room.

After delivering a cup of warm snow pear soup, Hongyu said, "Fourth Master, why did you keep staring at Second Master Bao's jade just now? You made Second Master Bao feel uncomfortable looking at it."

"Huh? Well... isn't this just curiosity." Li Weijian didn't tell the truth.In fact, he just wanted to steal the psychic jade and throw it into the Liuyi mud alchemy furnace to refine it for 49 to [-] days. He didn't know if he could refine it into an elixir... (Note [-])

After all, I still don’t want to give up... Who would be willing to live in the human world for only a hundred years if there is a chance to be ranked among the immortals?

Hongyu didn't think much, and served Li Weijian some pear soup, when a call at the door came from outside.Before Hong Yu could go out, that silly girl Xiu Ying dropped her pestle and Sa Huan seemed to run out.

"My brother is here!"

Hongyu frowned slightly and said to Li Weijian: "Fourth Master, please teach Xiu Ying some rules in the future. It's not good to always be like this."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Let her alone. She will understand it by herself in two years. Now she is innocent and has no distracting thoughts. Isn't it just right?"

Hong Yu thought about it. Xiu Ying looked so stupid. If she was forced to teach her, she would not be able to learn it for a while.

After a while, Xiu Ying came back from a quick walk, came to the bedside and said: "Master, my brother asked me to send a message. He said that his predecessor went to meet his employer, and he did not tell the fourth master how to dig a well. He only said I asked for sweet water. My boss can’t wait any longer today. Hearing that the young master is ill, he wants to come over to visit.”

Um?Can the master come in person?Unlikely?

Li Weijian frowned and asked, "Is it the boss himself?"

"No, my brother said it was probably Chang Shi Zhou An."

Hong Yu was shocked when she heard this: "Chang Shi?"

Xiu Ying glanced at him and opened her mouth to speak. Suddenly she thought that there were some things that she couldn't reveal, so she forced herself to shut up.

Li Weijian thought for a moment and then said: "Both of us have to meet each other sooner or later, so there's no harm in it."

Xiu Ying nodded, turned around, cleaned her hands and went back to pounding garlic.After another long while, a servant suddenly came outside the door to send a message, saying that the second young master, Yan Fengzhen, had come to visit.

Li Weijian did not dare to neglect and quickly sent Hongyu to greet him.

After a while, with a "tsk tsk" sound, Yan Fengzhen was about to come in with his hands behind his back.Stopping in front of the bed, Yan Fengzhen said with a nose that was not a nose, and eyes that were not eyes: "You Li Fusheng, you laughed at me earlier, I bet you have learned how to hide the beauty in the golden house. Look, look! These maids compete with each other." A great color for one!”

Li Weijian has always hung out with him these days, and now he is familiar with his temperament.So he smiled and said: "What you are saying, could it be that Brother Jingwen came here specifically to tease me? I thought I was here to visit my doctor."

Yan Fengzhen Shiran sat down and said, "Visiting a patient? It's just a common cold. It will be fine after a while. It's not a serious illness." After a pause, he said: "I just met with King Zhongyong in the Military Academy. King Zhongyong I heard that sweet water was given, but I am anxious to see him resurrected."

Li Weijian's heart moved, and he secretly thought that Chen Shang had finally passed Jin Shang's eyes!He felt a little restless in his heart, secretly clenched his fists, and then felt relieved.

If this plan is spread, he, Li Weijian, will be able to benefit from it even at worst.If you do well, you will gain both fame and fortune.

As the saying goes, a big man cannot live without power for a day, and a young man cannot live without money for a day.It's not easy to live in the capital, especially staying in Rongguo Mansion. Everything costs money. If he delays for a while, he may have to go find his eldest sister Li Wan again.

"By the way, King Zhongyong said that your statement is OK, what statement about resurrection?"

Li Weijian smiled and said, "Let's keep it a secret. Brother Jing Wen will know later."

"Still keeping it a secret from me? Well, if you don't tell me, I won't ask. You and I are not blunderbuss or anything like that."

While they were talking, a woman reported from outside that Prince Zhongshun, Changshi, had arrived at the mansion. He sat down with the eldest master, Jia She, and then mentioned that he wanted to visit Fourth Master Jian. At this moment, he was coming this way. .

Hongyu repeated what the mother-in-law had said, until Yan Fengzhen frowned and said, "Fusheng, why are you involved with King Zhongshun? That old guy... the prince is not a worry-free person."

Li Weijian smiled and said, "I'm not as good as brother Jing Wen. If I want to make progress, don't I have to work everywhere?"

Note [-]: Shuyouyu|Dragon, yes, it’s you.I shamelessly borrowed your cruel idea. (Thank you for the gift of nature)

　It's still ten o'clock.
