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

Chapter 142 Asking for Mandarin Duck

The atmosphere in Rongqing Hall was a little weird. Xiren was the only one kneeling there alone, as if she had been abandoned by the world.

Grandmother Jia said, "Get up and go back to see how Baoyu is doing."

Xiren held back her tears, thanked him, then stood up and walked out silently.

Everyone was not surprised. Xiren was Baoyu's eldest maid, and punishing her meant that Baoyu was at fault. Grandmother Jia would definitely not find fault with Baoyu.

Grandmother Jia put on a smile and looked at Aunt Xue beside her: "My brother at home is not easy to take care of. Aunt Xue is making fun of me."

Aunt Xue hurriedly smiled and said, "They are all young and energetic guys. Their quarrels make it more lively and festive. I just hope that when I am old, no one will come to tease me."

Grandmother Jia burst into laughter, which put an end to the farce that had just happened.

Jia Wei also lost interest, stood up and said with a smile: "Old lady, it's getting late, then I will go back first and not be a bad guest, so as not to make some people uncomfortable."

"Who said you were a bad guest? You're so lively here. If anyone is unhappy, let her go and you stay. I have something important to tell you."

Grandmother Jia then laughed and said, "Do you think Baoyu really wants to snatch your maid? I don't know his character yet. He must be teasing your maid because she is pretty. You are working outside, and Baoyu is still young and ignorant. You must not bear a grudge against him."

Jia Wei was puzzled. He made everyone here nervous and embarrassed Jia Mu and others several times. How could Jia Mu still have the patience to keep him?

What's so urgent?
Jia Wei then sat down again and saw Yuanyang leading a maid to bring a cup of new tea and sweep away the residue on the table.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady. I never bear grudges and I don't take ordinary things to heart. Except for someone trying to take my maid away, old lady, I don't want me to bear a grudge against Baoyu unless I get a maid as compensation."

Upon hearing this, Yuanyang shuddered and turned her back to glance at him with a look of embarrassment, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Hahahaha..." Grandmother Jia laughed and pointed at Jia Wei and said to Aunt Xue, "So he was waiting for me here. He came here with a purpose."

The others also laughed for a while, and Sister Feng also calmed down and flattered:

"Who told the old lady to be able to take care of people? She takes care of people like water onions. How can I blame people for wanting her? I'm lucky to be my grandson's wife. If it were my grandson, I would have wanted her a long time ago, and why would I wait until now?"

Aunt Xue was shocked when she heard Jia Wei's words. She remembered that Jia Wei had mentioned Xue Pan before, and wondered if she should give him a maid as compensation to calm him down. She then agreed:
"The maids in the old lady's courtyard are all outstanding. Didn't Qingwen originally come from the old lady's courtyard? It must be that Brother Wei likes her so much that he wants to have another one."

"These maids of mine are also for my grandsons. I heard that there are only three maids in the courtyard of Brother Yu, and they are short of people to serve." Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Yu and smiled, "Which one do you want? I will have someone send it to your house tomorrow."

"It happens to be right in front of us?" Jia Wei held Yuanyang's hand, "I think Sister Yuanyang is good. There is no need to wait until tomorrow. I will take her back tonight."

Yuanyang blushed, shook off his hand and said hurriedly: "Master Er, you are joking, but you have to use me as a raft and make everyone laugh at me."

"Anything else is fine, but Yuanyang is not." Grandmother Jia smiled and said, "You are sharp-eyed and picked the best one. I only have such a lovely person. If I give her to you, I will not be able to eat or sleep well."

Jia Wei smiled and said nothing more. Yuanyang was very important to Jia's mother, and it was definitely unrealistic to ask the maid who came to Jia's mother's side just for a joke.

But it would be enough to let Lady Jia know that she had this intention, and she would not promise Yuanyang to anyone else - even though Yuanyang would never be with anyone else in the first place.

In the future, if Jia She dares to ask for Yuanyang, Jia's mother will also consider Jia Yi's thoughts and will not let Yuanyang swear a poisonous oath in public to make her mind clear. Ping'er, who was watching from the side, looked at Yuanyang, then looked at Jia Yi, thinking about the missing collar flower, and was sure that the relationship between the two was not simple.

Considering how much the old lady values ​​this Second Master, it is only a matter of time before she gives him a maid.

Even though Jia Wei sounded like he was joking, some of the things in one's heart are said in a joking way, and who knows, they may come true someday.

Ping Er recalled the scene when Jia Wei just protected Qingwen and Xiangling, secretly sighing at Yuanyang's good fortune, and was happy for the sisters. Not only was the master capable, but he also protected his shortcomings.

Like Baoyu, he got into trouble and ran away, leaving the maid kneeling there helplessly.

Since Grandmother Jia said she wanted to discuss something with Jia Wei, the others were very tactful.

After a few words of casual chatting, Aunt Xue took Baochai back to Lixiangyuan.

Mrs. Wang was probably very angry, and said she was going to see Baoyu and left Lady Jia's courtyard.

Shi Xiangyun had no fixed residence in the Jia Mansion. She wanted to sleep with Daiyu tonight, so she took Daiyu by the hand and said goodbye to Lady Jia, and then came to Jia Wei.

Shi Xiangyun was younger than Daiyu, but taller. Even though she was wearing a skirt, Jia Wei seemed to see a pair of long, straight white legs under her skirt.

"Second brother Jia Wei, I heard that you are building a garden in the east. When it is completed, you must invite us to take a look." Shi Xiangyun has a straightforward personality. She was not shy when she met Jia Wei on the first day.

Shi Xiangyun lost both her parents when she was young. Her aunt was mean and selfish and didn't like her. She had no say at home and had to do needlework by herself. This authentic young lady from a marquis's mansion was raised as a half-servant. How pitiful.

"Of course, the garden will be finished before the end of the year, and I will definitely send invitations to Sister Lin and Sister Shi by then."

Xiangyun happily agreed. Daiyu was thinking that Jia Wei had invited her once in Yangzhou, but this time when Xiangyun asked, he first said "Sister Lin", it seems that Jia Wei still remembered...

Daiyu looked at Jia Wei, who was also looking at her. "It's cold at night, don't catch a cold, sister."

"I understand." Daiyu seemed a little shy and walked away with Shi Xiangyun.

Xiangyun heard this and looked at Daiyu's reaction. She felt strange. It seemed that the relationship between these two people was unusual. With a sly smile, she paid attention to it and thought about asking Daiyu when she lay down on the bed.

Jia Wei waited patiently, sending Xiangling and Qingwen to play outside the yard, waiting for Lady Jia to discuss something important with him.

Soon the crowd dispersed, leaving only Yuanchun still serving Lady Jia. Lady Jia waved her hand, and Yuanyang understood and dismissed the maids and old women serving in the house.

Jia Wei smiled and said, "Old lady, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don't be so mysterious."

Before Grandmother Jia could say anything, Yuanchun, who was sitting next to her, smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, it's a good thing..."

good thing?

Jia Wei looked at Yuanchun and felt that her smile seemed a little forced...
