Chapter 21 Jia's Response
Rongguo Mansion, northeast corner, Lixiangyuan.
The quiet second-entry courtyard has a complete front hall and back rooms, exquisite hand-painted verandahs and hanging flower doors. The pear courtyard decorated with a small rockery is more interesting.
Sitting on the couch in the room is a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old. She is wearing a honey-colored cotton-padded jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver-colored rat jacket, and a green-yellow damask cotton skirt. They are all in one color, not old, and they don’t look luxurious. They are light-colored.
Sober.
The body is plump, the muscles and bones are smooth, and the manner is elegant. The lips are not red but red, the eyebrows are not painted but green, the face is like a silver basin, and the eyes are like apricots.
This is Xue Baochai of the Xue family.
Xue Baochai's eyes were filled with mist, and he was holding Bai Zhilan's silk handkerchief in his hand, wiping the corners of his eyes from time to time.
Xu Shi saw that Xue Baochai was very sad, and the half-year-old son on the side warned him: "My good sister, please stop crying. My heart is broken by crying. I didn't go to my uncle's place in person, so don't worry."
A middle-aged young man, who looks about thirteen or fourteen years old, wears a purple gold crown with a bunch of jewels on his head, two dragons on his eyebrows, gold to grab beads, and wears a two-color gold red arrow sleeves with hundreds of butterflies pierced with flowers, and a outer cover.
A forged gown with eight clusters of azurite flowers, and green satin and powder-soled court boots, which is dazzling.
He is Jia Baoyu, the Phoenix son of the Jia family.
"Baoyu is right. Logically speaking, the relationship between Mo Zhuyuan and Brother Pan is still uncle and nephew. How can his subordinates be so careless? Sister Bao doesn't have to worry." The girl next to Baoyu said softly.
She looked about 12 or 13 years old, wearing a bright yellow silk cotton skirt and a bright red feather gauze embroidered brocade gown. She was petite and charming.
She is the granddaughter of the Jia family, named Lin Daiyu.
Three girls on the side stepped forward to comfort him.
The first of these three people looks like they are fifteen or sixteen years old. They have slightly plump skin, a medium-sized figure, fresh cheeks, and a greasy nose. They are gentle and silent, and look amiable.
The second one looks about twelve or thirteen years old, with slender shoulders and slim waist, a long figure, an oval face, handsome eyes and long eyebrows, a look that is astonishing, a master of literary talent, and forgets the vulgarity upon seeing it.
The third one looks to be eleven or twelve years old. He is not tall enough and can be described as still young.
Their hairpin rings, skirts and coats are all the same.
These three people are the three of the four springs of the Jia family, namely welcoming the spring, exploring the spring and cherishing the spring.
There is still one spring, and now he is a talented person in the palace, which is Yuanchun.
They were sisters who were playing together. Unexpectedly, they learned the news that Xue Pan was beaten "half to death", which really made everyone lose their minds. Now Xue Pan is the only one in the Xue family. If something happens, how will the two girls of the Xue family survive?
ah.....
Especially Lin Daiyu, she knew best how difficult life was without a man in the family. If she had a brother to protect her, she would not be "relying on others".
Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but cry.
When Baoyu saw this, he couldn't help but get upset. This was more than sad. How could the sister Lin he cherished in his heart feel sad? He said: "Sister Lin, why are you crying? Don't make things worse.
"
Lin Daiyu sobbed: "Something happened to Sister Bao's brother, and I can't cry? I cry for myself, and it has nothing to do with you."
Baoyu was immediately speechless and didn't know how to refute.
Upon seeing this, Tanchun hurriedly said: "Zi'er is also worried about Sister Bao, Baoyu, just stop talking."
When Baoyu heard this, he immediately felt aggrieved. His well-intentioned comfort failed, but he didn't expect it to be better. Thinking of the source of the matter, Baoyu couldn't help but said bitterly: "It's all that Jia Yun's fault. No matter what, I can't do anything."
Ah, those generals act vulgarly based on their bloody bravery, which is really annoying."
"What's the use of talking about it now? It's only right that Brother Pan is fine. What's the use of talking about it all day long." Lin Daiyu snorted coldly.
............
Baoyu remained silent, now it was his fault...
Tanchun on the side comforted him: "Zi'er is right. We are uncles and nephews after all. How can my subordinates be so indecisive?"
Xue Baochai's tense heart also relaxed. What Lin Daiyu and Tan Chun said was right. It would not be a problem if their subordinates were measured. However, Xue Pan and Jia Yun had a dispute. Xue Baochai could roughly guess that his brother was a bastard.
Guessing that he had done something outrageous, Jia Yun had a rough temper and couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes, so he gave him a lesson and started a dispute.
In Xue Baochai's view, it would be good for her brother to receive some lessons. This is the capital, not Jinling, and he cannot act recklessly. She only hopes that after this experience, his brother can restrain himself, and that would be Amitabha...
..
The second sister Yingchun couldn't help but asked curiously: "What happened to Brother Yun? Why did he attack Brother Pan for no reason?"
Everyone only heard that Jia Yun "beat up" Xue Pan, but they really don't know the specific reason.
Baoyu said: "I heard that Brother Pan invited Jia Yun to play together, but Jia Yun didn't show mercy at all and even made a move."
This is what Baoyu heard from the people below, but I really don’t know the details.
Baoyu's words made everyone present not know how to respond. No matter how you look at it, it's all Jia Yun's fault, but Baochai looked embarrassed. She had heard that her brother had raised a young boy named Baihuo, so she wanted to "play" with Jia Yun.
, something seems wrong....
Although Baochai has never met Jia Yun and doesn't know what Jia Yun looks like, she heard that Jia Yun is highly regarded by the Holy Spirit and his character must not be bad. He should not hurt others without reason. I'm afraid it's just like what she guessed.
It's my brother's fault first...
It's just that it's something that cannot be said about one's brother or sister...
At this moment, Baochai's maid Ying'er happened to walk in. She didn't even bother to salute the masters, and hurriedly said to Baochai: "Girl, the master is back."
When Baochai heard this, his expression changed, and without saying a word, he walked out...
.............
In Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu was leaning on a soft couch on a high platform.
Aunt Xue looked anxious, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng comforted her carefully.
Mrs. Wang understands Aunt Xue's worries very well. The Xue family only has such a son. He is afraid of falling when he holds it in his hand, and he is afraid of melting when he holds it in his mouth. He is very precious.
Now I heard that my baby was beaten "half to death" in the street, and he still has to lose his soul.
Just like a precious jade, Mrs. Wang couldn't stand Jia Zheng's usual training, let alone beating him.
Jia Mu felt upset when she heard this, so she persuaded her, "Madam, don't worry, that evil boy is rebellious in his heart. Even I don't put him in my eyes. But he is also sensible.
Don't dare to do evil things, I guess the servants are just talking too much and exaggerating."
Wang Xifeng on the side continued: "Auntie, our ancestors never make mistakes when looking at people. I have also seen Brother Yun. Although he behaves promiscuously, he is a man of etiquette and does not look like a villain."
Listening to what the two said, Aunt Xue felt better, and she just hoped that Xue Pan would be safe and sound.
"Oops! The big boss is back!!"
Listening to the reply outside the door, everyone looked startled.
Then she saw Jia She, dressed in fine clothes, walking in with a solemn expression. Seeing this, Aunt Xue's heart skipped a beat.
"Meet Mother."
Jia She came in and immediately met Jia Mu first.
Seeing Jia She's solemn expression, Jia's mother couldn't help but have bad thoughts in her heart, and hurriedly said: "She'er, where is Brother Pan, is he in any serious condition?"
Jia She raised his eyes and looked at Aunt Xue, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, mother. Brother Pan is fine. He just suffered some skin injuries. He will be fine in a few days."
Jia Yun did not kill him, he still had a sense of control with his hands. The servants just saw that Xue Pan was seriously injured, but this was not the case. As a warrior, he still knew a thing or two about the skill of strength.
When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as nothing serious happened, it would be fine. After all, it was the Jia family, and she didn't want to deal with Jia Yun. Fortunately, as she thought, Jia Yun was a sensible person.
"Auntie, look, Brother Pan just suffered some superficial injuries. He will be nursed for a few days when he comes back. When that bastard comes back, let him go and apologize to Brother Pan. Don't be upset."
Aunt Xue's mind also calmed down at this time, and she hurriedly said: "The old lady has spoken harshly. The generous guy in my family never knows how to do things properly. It must be his disrespectful words that offended Brother Yun. The two of them are young and have a temper.
It's not worth it to be a big deal if it's "naughty"."
Just as he was talking, all the girls in the corridor outside were joined by his brothers and sisters.
Not long after, I saw a group of children coming in and greeting me.
Xue Baochai, who was always steady and courteous, could not care about anything else at this time. He hurriedly ran to Aunt Xue and asked softly: "Mom, is my brother in serious condition?"
Wang Xifeng on the side smiled and said: "Bao girl, you can relax, the master just said that Brother Pan just suffered some flesh injuries, and he will be fine in two days."
Xue Baochai looked relieved after hearing this, as long as her brother was fine.
Jia Baoyu felt so happy when he saw Baochai relaxed. He jumped up and down anxiously when he saw the fairy-like sister Bao with a sad look on her face.
Seeing the harmony in the whole hall, Jia Mu felt relieved. She turned her head and said to Jia She in the hall: "She's been busy for a long time. Thank you for your hard work. Go down and have a rest."
Jia She in the hall looked at Jia Mu's cheerful expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He started to feel happy before he even finished speaking.
"Mom, Brother Pan is still at the Shuntian Mansion Office."
As soon as Jia She's words came out, everyone looked startled. Jia Mu was even more startled and said, "Didn't I ask you to bring Brother Pan back? How did you do it?"
Jia She sighed and said: "Mother, the person who sent Brother Pan to the government office held a token from the palace, and the governor of Shuntian Prefecture did not dare to let him go."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Jia Mu was even more surprised and said: "That bastard has a token from the palace?"
Jia's mother thought that it was Jia Yun who sent Xue Pan to the Shuntian government office, and the person holding the card must be Jia Yun.
I heard Jia She say coldly: "My son has asked, and the person holding the palace token is a young and strong man. He must be the ungrateful Jia Yun."
Jia's mother took a deep breath when she heard this. She didn't expect that Emperor Chongming would treat Jia Yun so favorably. Even a naked person could get a token from the palace...
Aunt Xue asked anxiously: "What should Pan'er do? That's a prison, and she's still injured."
Holding back her anger, Jia Mu turned around and said to Aunt Xue: "Don't worry, concubine, I will give you an explanation when that evil obstacle comes back."
