From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 139 Xiangyun
When Baochai heard Daiyu's words, she could not help but be amazed.

Daiyu's words were full of hidden meanings, and it was obvious that she knew something...

She then remembered that when Daiyu returned to Yangzhou, she encountered bandits and was rescued by Jia Wei and sent to Yangzhou. She also returned to Beijing with Jia Wei. This sharing of life and death together made Baochai think more.

Considering that Daiyu just stopped calling him "Second Brother Wei" and always called him "him", the relationship between the two must be very good now.

Thinking of this, for some reason, Baochai felt a little bitter in her heart...

Baochai wanted to ask a question, but was afraid that she would embarrass Daiyu by asking it on the spot, so she gave up.

Tanchun heard the hidden meaning in Daiyu's words. Although she was smart, she was far less worldly-wise than Baochai, so she quickly said, "Sister Lin, you must know what I mean. By the way... you went back to Yangzhou together, and came here together. You have seen Second Brother Yu write a poem, right?"

When the others heard this, they all looked at Daiyu.

Daiyu wanted to tell her what Jia Wei said, but then she thought of her sisters who would listen to her finish the poem and see that the poem was so good but incomplete, and would ask why the poem was incomplete. Could she still say that Jia Wei wanted her to call him "Brother Wei" before he gave her the complete poem?

Daiyu was a little flustered, but her face was calm: "Second Brother Wei went to Lianghuai on business, can I still ask him to write a poem for me?"

Baochai, Yuanchun and others were all smart and knew that Daiyu was covering up and making excuses, but they did not expose her in public.

Only Baoyu foolishly believed it and said quickly, "Brother Wei is a warrior, what kind of poem can he write? Maybe he can't even recite the rhyme."

At this moment, a woman suddenly shouted outside the courtyard: "Second Master Wei is here, Second Master Wei is here!"

Then in the main hall, Grandmother Jia had people put away the dominoes. Xiangyun stretched her head from behind the screen, wanting to see who this "Second Brother Wei" was.

Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her sisters' attention had been drawn away. Then she met Baochai's eyes and suddenly felt guilty...

Outside the courtyard, Ping'er led people to greet them. After some greetings, Jia Wei entered the main hall and Yuanyang followed him in. Suddenly, she grabbed him and took him aside.

"Yuanyang, I want to interrogate you. What have you been doing for so long?" Ping'er put her hands on her hips, her eyes sharp and her face full of teasing.

Thinking of Jia Wei's enthusiasm, Yuanyang felt guilty, but after all, she was the maid in charge, so she had a good attitude. She smiled and asked back, "Go to the East Palace to invite Master Wei, what's wrong? What's wrong with you, you idiot, you're interrogating me."

Ping Er sneered and reached out to touch her neck. "You went to invite Second Master, why did you leave out the collar?"

Yuanyang covered his empty neck, startled, and explained: "It was windy at night, maybe it was blown away, I didn't notice it."

Ping'er just smiled and said nothing.

She thought it was a good thing that Ping'er found out. Ping'er was kind-hearted and would remind her specifically. If any gossipy maid or old woman noticed it, they would definitely gossip about it and everyone in the mansion would know about it tomorrow.

Yuanyang immediately went around the back of the courtyard, went back to the house to find a similar collar and put it on, then went back to the hall to serve. When she met Ping'er's funny eyes, her face turned pink with shame, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into...

Just at this moment, Jia Wei at the table pointed to her empty wine glass and asked her to pour the wine. Seeing his expression, Yuanyang was both happy and angry.

The atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was quite harmonious. At the top were Jia Mu, Jia Yu, Aunt Xue, and Baoyu. At the bottom were Mrs. Wang, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun. At the bottom were Yuan, Ying, Tan, and Xi. The ground floor was full of maids and servants, and Li Wan and Wang Xifeng were waiting on the side.

"...Yu'er's boat was hijacked by pirates. I was scared. It was all thanks to Er Ge'er."

Jia Yu watched Jia's mother's performance and said calmly: "It's all part of my job. He also thanked Uncle Lin after meeting him in Yangzhou." It was the first time Shi Xiangyun heard about this. She was very curious and asked Daiyu about it. Daiyu briefly recounted the situation that night. Everyone was scared after hearing it and looked at Jia Yu again.

"Second Brother Wei is really great, saving people from danger, just like the heroes in the operas!" Xiangyun exclaimed, and added: "How could it be such a coincidence that they caught up with such a big canal in time."

Jia Yu looked at her twice more. Xiangyun was wearing a half-new short jacket, which also showed her thin waist and narrow back. He remembered that Xiangyun was tall and had a pair of long legs, but now she was sitting and could not be seen.

"This is all thanks to your second brother Lian."

After hearing what Jia Wei said, the others stopped smiling. Wang Xifeng, who had been smiling brightly, turned pale in an instant.

Daiyu naturally did not mention Jia Lian just now. Xiangyun did not know the inside story and asked hurriedly, "Is Second Brother Lian here too?"

Jia Wei smiled and said, "If your second brother Lian hadn't organized the boatmen to resist the pirates first, my men might not have made it in time."

Xiangyun nodded and said, "Brother Lian is a capable man, and he also loves us sisters. I think even if Brother Lian couldn't make it that night, he would be able to fight off those pirates and protect Sister Lin."

As soon as Xiangyun finished speaking, she noticed that the others all had strange expressions on their faces. Sister Bao on the side was even giving her a look. She was immediately filled with suspicion and could only endure it.

There was dead silence in the hall. Grandmother Jia's face looked unhappy, and Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth, feeling completely humiliated and hating Jia Wei to death.

But Jia Wei didn't care about the expressions of others. He laughed loudly and nodded, saying, "That's right! That's right!"

After he finished laughing, Jia's mother, with a dark complexion, changed the subject: "I heard that you cured Yu'er's father. How is your uncle Lin doing?"

Jia Wei looked at Daiyu and said, "Uncle Lin is fine now. I have found some famous doctors who have prescribed him some blood-replenishing prescriptions. He is getting better now."

Daiyu also looked at him, her eyes full of gratitude. Baochai and Yuanchun saw the two men exchanging glances and lowered their heads.

"Well, you did a great job on this."

Jia Wei didn't respond, but just glanced at Grandmother Jia. "Are you praising me now?"

Aunt Xue said, "He has just recovered from a serious illness. He should not only take care of his body, but also find a Taoist monk to chant sutras to get rid of the evil spirit."

"That's right," Mrs. Wang continued. "For example, in the Muni Temple outside the west gate, there is a young master named Miaoyu. Although she is young, her Buddhist teachings are very profound. Every time I hear her chanting, I feel relaxed all over. I think she must be a spiritual person. Jiangnan is a place with beautiful scenery, so there should be more people with Taoist skills."

Miaoyu?

Jia Wei thought, now that Yuanchun has returned, there will definitely be no Grand View Garden anymore. He wondered if this beautiful nun would still enter the Jia Mansion.

"Oh? Is it really a miracle? Then I will write a letter and have someone send it to Yangzhou, and also find an old monk for Yu'er's father." Jia's mother said, "By the way, please invite the young monk Miaoyu to the mansion and recite for me. I have been unable to sleep well these days."

After a while, Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Wei and said, "Brother Wei, I have one more thing to ask.

"Baoyu's uncle has returned from an inspection of the border, and has been promoted to the position of Chief Inspector of Nine Provinces. It happens to be his aunt's birthday in the next few days, and his uncle has specifically asked you to come to his house to have a gathering..."
