Chapter 268
"Stop staring!"
"Why, do you also want to imitate King Zhou and offend the gods?"
Yu Daoxian reminded him at the right time, interrupting Baoyu's ugly appearance.
"King Zhou? No, no, no, I can't do such cruelty!"
Baoyu repeatedly refused, but there was something in his words.
Although King Zhou was cruel, he was a man who loved beauty. His love for beauty alone made him have the same taste as Jia Baoyu. After all, both of them had a relationship with Empress Nuwa.
Then he told his sister-in-law to find an incense burner.
In order to serve the uncle well, Shuixian'an's sister-in-law also prepared fruit and vegetable sacrifices and other items, but Baoyu rejected them one by one.
Ling Mingyan moved the incense burner to the well, Baoyu took out the incense from the sachet and burned it silently, his eyes filled with tears for a while.
Look at the sun, it's noon too.
Mingyan packed up the incense burner and reported: "Second Master, it's already this time. I've already told my sisters-in-law that we can just eat some here!"
"After I go back, I can explain to the old lady."
“That’s fine, you can eat whatever you want as a vegetarian!”
While talking, the two came to the Zen room, where the sisters-in-law had prepared a vegetarian table.
After eating and eating, the two of them got on their horses and returned to the old road, returning to Rongguo Mansion through the back door.
As for what exactly Baoyu paid homage to during this trip, probably only he himself knows.
…
After returning to the mansion, everyone suddenly came up with the idea of setting up a poetry club.
I also learned from those men of letters and became arty.
Taking advantage of their enthusiasm for poetry, everyone had a good time or two in the garden.
However, as the weather got colder, Daiyu's cough broke out again, so she only rested in the house.
From time to time, several sisters came to chat with her, but they couldn't say more than five words, and she became a little impatient.
Ever since she "sent away" Fairy Jiangzhu, without the spiritual support of the fairy grass, her body and bones were getting worse day by day.
This is fate! Even a Yuanshen immortal like her can't reverse this situation.
"The medicine my sister takes always doesn't work. Wouldn't it be better to ask a skilled doctor to take a look and cure it completely? Putting it off like this is not an option!"
Baochai came to visit and talked about the disease.
"Life and death are destiny, wealth is in heaven!"
"I was brought in by my mother in the womb, and I can only take it away after death!"
Daiyu coughed a few more times while replying.
"In my opinion, the most important thing is to soothe the liver and strengthen the stomach. Taking bird's nest stewed with rock sugar every morning once you get used to it is the best way to nourish yin and replenish qi!"
"Sister is right! But you and I are outsiders in this house after all!"
Sensing Baochai's affection, Daiyu responded with some thoughtful words.
"If I make more demands, even if the old lady, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng have nothing to say, the ladies and girls under them will definitely think that I have too many things to do."
"Even if the old lady hurts Baoyu and Sister Feng too much, they are already staring at me and making irresponsible remarks behind their backs. What's more, I am not their master, but someone who lives under someone else's roof!"
"Alas! When it comes to living under someone else's roof, I'm just like my sister!"
Baochai felt the same way after hearing this, and her family also came to join him.
"Sister, you have a mother, a brother, and a house and land at home. It's not like me who has nothing now. I eat and use other people's things. I wish I was missing!"
"Hey, it's just a dowry paid in advance!"
"Sister, please stop teasing me! With my body and bones, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive that time."
The two talked for a while, and Baochai made an appointment with her to come back in the evening.
Unexpectedly, God was not kind and it started to rain.
Baochai didn't wait, but Baoyu did.
Not only Jia Baoyu, but also Zhen Baoyu.
"Are you feeling better? Have you taken any medicine? Have you eaten?"
As soon as Baoyu arrived, he stepped forward to check her complexion and asked like an old lady.
Daiyu saw him dressed up and said with a smile: "You look like a fisherman!"
"Really? This outfit is a gift from King Beijing. If you like it, I'll get a set for you too!"
"I don't want it!" At this point, "Daiyu" also understood the purpose of "Baoyu".
Now that he knew it, there was no need for Jia Baoyu to stay here, so Wu Sheng immediately ordered the guests to be sent off.
…
In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived.
Someone reported to Mrs. Wang that it was Xiren's brother who had sent a message, saying that his mother was seriously ill and asked for kindness to take Xiren home.
Mrs. Wang listened and nodded in agreement.
Sister Feng at the other end gave some more gifts, so Xiren didn't let Xiren go home empty-handed.
In the yard, Sheyue and Qingwen were left to take care of Baoyu.
These two girls are not as careful as Xi Ren.
Qingwen, in particular, is carefree and has an unforgiving temperament.
There was a little girl named Zhui'er, who was originally smart, but she eavesdropped on Baoyu's corner and was discovered.
Qingwen was so angry that she not only cursed a lot, but also kicked her out of the house.
This scene happened to be seen by Mrs. Wang, who immediately felt unhappy.
This is nothing.
One night, Qingwen pretended to be a ghost to scare She Yue. She went out and felt the cold wind for a while. By the morning of the next day, her nose was so stuffy that she couldn't move.
"If you go home to recuperate, it won't be any warmer than here."
"Don't make any noise, I'll go find a doctor!"
Baoyu found an old nanny and asked for a doctor without telling Mrs. Wang. It took a long time before she brought the doctor.
The doctor took his pulse through the curtain and prescribed a prescription.
When Baoyu saw it, he was startled.
No matter how many doses of medicine were taken by everyone in Prince Rong's palace, he could be considered to know some pathology. This doctor was simply a quack who used tiger and wolf medicine on his weak daughter.
"Who invited him? Send him away quickly and invite someone familiar with him!"
"It's easy to find a doctor you know well, but you have to pay some extra money for transportation." the old woman replied.
Baoyu asked Sheyue how much the carriage fare was, and then asked Sheyue to take out a piece of silver and give it to the old woman.
Not long after, Dr. Wang came. Dr. Wang was worthy of being an imperial doctor, and the prescriptions he prescribed were much better than those of the mediocre doctors.
After taking the medicine, Qingwen still felt uncomfortable, her nose was still stuffy, and her temples hurt.
Dr. Wang had to come again to add or delete some medicines.
After a long time of recovery, Qingwen's temper got worse and she cursed the doctor.
Unexpectedly, her temper was caught by someone who was interested, and she reported it to the madam.
Mrs. Wang looked down upon her even more.
In the evening, when Baoyu returned from the banquet, he found a hole in his peacock velvet cloak.
As a last resort, Qingwen had no choice but to go into battle even though she was ill, sewing and patching him up stitch by stitch.
After spending most of the night, I was top-heavy and my eyes were filled with stars.
I worked hard on this matter and practiced extra hard for several days, and finally survived this disaster, and then I gradually became more efficient.
"It's strange, I thought this little girl wouldn't be able to survive it!"
"Is there any secret hidden in her body?"
Qingwen had been plagued by calamity before, and even Yu Daoxian thought that the other party would meet the calamity at this time, but he didn't expect that Qingwen would be alive and kicking again, and he couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.
