After noon, the spring day was late, behind a mahogany table, Jia Heng was wearing a Sujin robe with bamboo patterns and embroidery, and his bun was fixed with a wooden hairpin. He was opening the letter sent by Lin Ruhai from Yangzhou and reading it attentively.
Tanchun was concentrating on the copybook on the small table beside him.
The girl wears a vermilion, pink and white trimmed satin round-neck gown with a pink background and gold chrysanthemum pattern, a white cross-collar jacket on top, and a horse-face skirt embroidered with cinnabar branches and flowers. This outfit looks more heroic than in the past.
Sa Ran's capable temperament is a bit more gentle and delicate than that of a lady.
However, when Tanchun occasionally dipped his hands in ink, he still couldn't help but glance sideways at the young man reading the letter. Under Chunshan's dark eyebrows, his eyes were bright and shining, reflecting Chuchen's quiet silhouette, and a sense of peace filled his heart.
"Sir, the eldest lady is here." Qingwen hurriedly entered the wing and whispered.
Jia Heng put down the letter and looked up, only to see a figure in a pale yellow skirt flashing behind the screen.
Yuanchun's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, her beautiful eyes were downcast, and a look of melancholy could be seen on her face, which had always been like the rosy clouds and moth moon.
"Sister, why do you come to my place when you have time?" Jia Heng asked.
Tan Chun also put down his pen, looked at Yuan Chun, called "big sister" and left to greet him.
Yuan Chun sighed softly, received two concerned glances, moved his cherry lips, and called out "Brother Heng, third sister", but for a moment he didn't know where to start.
"This..." Jia Heng glanced at Tanchun and asked doubtfully, "What happened?"
Instead, it was the attacker next to him who answered: "Back to Uncle Heng, the second master was playing with Jin Chuan'er in the house. By chance, Mrs. Jean saw her when she came back. She got very angry and slapped her.
He also chased away Jin Chuan'er."
After all, I had been a maid in Baoyu's house, and when I saw Jin Chuan being kicked out, I felt a little bit unbearable.
Jin Chuan, Yuanyang, and Xi Ren almost grew up together, and they have feelings for each other to some extent.
Playful, this is a neutral word with high emotional intelligence. It not only objectively describes a certain mood, but also does not make people associate it with romance.
It has to be said that it is so thoughtful and precise in its wording.
Qingwen Liuye's eyebrows were raised, and she suddenly asked: "Who slapped you?"
She or him?
This is...an unknown reference.
Attacker: "???"
Who else could he hit? Of course Jin Chuan.
Jia Heng frowned and asked, "What about Jin Chuanren now?"
The fierce golden bracelet fell into a well with humiliation. In the original work, Baoyu was quite cowardly. After pulling the golden necklace, he turned around and ran away like a normal person. Then because the attackers and others were playing in the water in Yihong Courtyard and did not open the door, they were given to the attacker.
When a person touches his heart, he will vomit blood.
The original work describes it this way: "When Xiren thought of the young man vomiting blood and losing his life, even though he lived a long life, he would eventually become a cripple. He suddenly felt that all his ambitions for glory and glory were gone, and he couldn't feel the tears falling from his eyes."
From beginning to end, Baoyu almost performed the eight words "no responsibility and weak personality" vividly, which can be said to be full of ugliness.
As for Jin Chai's throwing into the well, Mrs. Wang tried to cover up the truth, and even Bao Chai's rhetoric...
Yuan Chun sat on the embroidered pier aside, supporting her chin with one arm on the small table. Her eyes were blank, and she sighed: "Her mother, Aunt Bai, is leading her back now."
Jia Heng looked gloomy and whispered: "Where is Baoyu?"
Yuan Chunyu looked sad, opened her mouth, and said: "Baoyu knew he was in trouble, and now he doesn't know where to hide."
At the end of the sentence, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he even glanced at Jia Heng's face with concern.
There was no emotion or anger on Jia Heng's face, and he said: "Jinchuaner has been serving my wife for more than ten years. She has a bad reputation when she kicks her out like this. If she is not willing to be humiliated, she will think more narrowly... I'm afraid it will happen."
Breeding life."
When Yuan Chun heard this, he didn't worry about whether Baoyu would be scolded. His expression suddenly changed and he said, "What does Brother Heng mean?"
Jia Heng didn't say much, but looked at Xi Ren and ordered: "Xi Ren, you and Jin Chuan grew up together. You should know where Jin Chuan's family is, right?"
Xiren suddenly heard Uncle Heng calling his name, and his body trembled. He quickly pecked the rice and said, "Uncle, I know."
Jia Heng said: "You call some nuns to Jin Chuan's house to see if she is at home. Qingwen, you call some nuns and ask them to keep an eye on her at the well in the backyard of Rong Mansion."
Hearing this, Xiren said in a trembling voice: "Uncle, I'll go right away."
Jia Heng said: "Go."
Qingwen also got up at this time and followed the attackers.
Yuan Chun's face showed eagerness, and with emotion, he took Jia Heng's arm and said with a bit of pleading in his voice: "Brother Heng, if this really kills people and their lives are at stake, how about... we also go to the backyard
Watching?"
Not only because of the gold bracelet, but also because of the precious jade, the fact that he molested the maidservant and then forced the maidservant to commit suicide spread out... whether it's good or bad.
Jia Heng said with relief: "Sister, don't be too anxious."
Tan Chun said softly: "Brother Heng, let's go and have a look together."
On the corridor, several people were walking. Yuan Chun sighed and said, "Brother Heng, I don't even know why Baoyu has become like this in these years?"
After all, he had taught Baoyu how to read and write since he was a child, and he loved his mother and son. Yuanchun was really heartbroken and heartbroken at this moment.
Jia Heng pondered for a moment and said: "You are old now, and you know some things about men and women."
When Yuanchun heard this, his expression froze and he didn't know how to answer the question.
Tanchun, who was walking together, heard this and thought of something. His bright eyes moved, and he saw a hint of shyness, and a blush appeared on his pretty face.
Jia Heng was silent for a moment and said, "It's just that this is not Baoyu's fault."
As soon as these words came out, Yuanchun felt something in his heart. For some reason, he had a bad premonition and murmured: "Brother Heng."
"Let's wait and see what happens." Jia Heng whispered.
But on Mrs. Wang's side, Mrs. Wang slapped Jin Chuan, and she still felt that her anger was still lingering. She sat alone in the room and got sulky. After sitting for a while, her heart became more and more irritable, and she felt uncomfortable all over, so she asked
With the maid, the mother-in-law went to Lixiangyuan, intending to talk to Aunt Xue and relax.
Lixiangyuan
In the side room, Aunt Xue was looking at the account books, dialing the abacus in her hand from time to time. Her rich and rich face no longer had the smile of the past, but looked more serious.
To the east, under a circular window, on a Kang table, a young girl wearing a close-colored cotton-padded jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver mouse shoulder-to-shoulder cover, and an onion-yellow silk cotton skirt was sitting sideways on the Kang table, her head slightly tilted.
Low, doing needlework.
There is a bamboo basket placed on the square kang table, and inside it are hoops of thread and silk of various colors.
Xu had just finished embroidering. Baochai put a piece of red thread on her right hand and threaded it through the needle hole in her hand. Without wearing it for a while, she picked up the thread and moistened it in her lips. She then pulled it gently against the needle hole and stretched her arms.
This action gives the girl a bit of gentleness, intellectuality, and an IKEA-like charm.
Ying'er came forward and said, "Madam, girl, it's time to eat."
Aunt Xue stopped fiddling with the compass, rubbed her sore wrist, and said with a smile: "Good girl, it's time to eat."
"Hey." Baochai responded, pinned the embroidery needle on the silk, put it in the bamboo basket, took the tea from Ying'er, and took a sip.
At this time, a nanny came into the room and said, "My wife is here."
Not long after, Mrs. Wang stepped into the house.
"Sister, how come you have time to come to my place?" Aunt Xue stood up with a smile and stepped forward to greet her.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Sister, I just came from my brother's place and came to see you and Pan'er."
As he said that, he glanced at Baochai beside him, his eyes flickered, and a thought flashed through his mind.
Baoyu is indeed big. If it doesn't work out, it would be good to arrange a marriage for him first so that he can be reassured.
Because Mrs. Wang had previously asked Yuan Chun to set his sights on Princess Qinghe, but after Jia Heng declined, Yuan Chun's attitude after returning came to light, and Mrs. Wang stopped her activities.
Here, Baochai also got up and said hello to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang sat down, responded with a smile, and looked at Baochai. Seeing the rich appearance and grace, she felt more satisfied and asked with a smile: "What is Baochai embroidered on?"
Baochai smiled and said: "I embroidered a few sachets, but I have nothing to do at home."
Mrs. Wang nodded and praised: "Bao Yatou is very clever."
At noon, Mrs. Wang sat down and had lunch with Aunt Xue.
"I don't know about that matter. How are you and Bao Yatou thinking about it?" After lunch, Mrs. Wang took a colorful dragon tea cup and took a sip of tea and asked.
Baochai's jade face changed slightly, a flash of panic flashed through her almond-shaped eyes, and she immediately looked at her mother.
Aunt Xue sighed softly and said: "Sister, I am also happy to kiss you, but Wenlong has not settled on it for three years. It is not appropriate to handle this matter in such a hurry.
stop."
Speaking of which, it was Xue Pan's wasted work that shook Aunt Xue's mind.
Otherwise, by this time, the scandal of the golden match has already been arranged.
When Mrs. Wang heard this, the smile on her face froze. She put down the tea cup and sighed softly: "Yes, Wenlong has suffered such a disaster again. It's just that these three years can't be delayed forever. I'm thinking about the treasure."
The girl is... not too young."
Aunt Xue was a little confused for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister, it won't matter if you wait another year or two. I don't mean to let the younger generation get along first."
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt a little unhappy, but she still endured it.
Baochai listened quietly on the side, with her head hanging down, and it was not easy to interrupt.
On the other hand, they said that after Jin Chuan returned, his mother, Bai Shi, scolded and complained about her, until Jin Chuan burst into tears and was heartbroken.
Bai didn't stay long. Not long after, she was summoned by a woman to serve at Rongguo Mansion around noon.
But Jin Chuan lay straight on the bed, tears on his cheeks flowing silently, soaking the pillow. Unknowingly, after noon, he didn't feel hungry at all. Like a lonely ghost, he got up and stood up.
Under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the high eaves and walls of Rongguo Mansion not far away, a look of determination suddenly appeared on the girl's tear-stained face.
Even if she dies, she will die in the house!
With this thought in mind, he headed towards Rongguo Mansion from the east corner gate.
It was noon at this time, and the masters in various places in Rongguo Mansion, some of the servants were having lunch, and some were eating wine in various places.
Jin Chuan was already very familiar with the terrain of Rongfu. He took the familiar road to the southeast corner, which was originally the kitchen. Under a cypress tree, he saw a well. The well mouth was surrounded by green bricks. It was hexagonal on the outside and round on the inside.
The mouth is dark, wet, and bottomless.
Jin Chuan's face was sad and dejected. As he walked towards the well, tears silently flowed down his face. He stood very close to the well for a while, closed his eyes and was about to cross a leg.
Suddenly I heard a deep shout, "Jinchuan, stop."
Jin Chuan's figure was shaken. He looked back and saw a young man on the corridor in the distance with cold eyes. At this moment, several nuns and maids walked up quickly and stepped forward to hold down Jin Chuan's arm.
It turns out that Jia Heng asked Xi Ren and Qing Wen to go to Jin Chuan's house alone. He happened to not meet Jin Chuan and came back in a hurry to report. Jia Heng knew something was wrong. After asking on the road, he learned that there was a well in Rong Guo Mansion.
In the back kitchen, he led Yuan Chun and Tan Chun over to look for Jinchuan'er, but they were blocked.
Jia Heng frowned and looked at the tearful girl.
Yuan Chun on the side looked pale and murmured: "Brother Heng..."
It was almost, if she had been a step too late, if Jin Chuaner had fallen into a well, she would have been uneasy.
Tanchun also frowned, with an unbelievable look on his face.
So strong!
It suddenly became a big fuss. After hearing this, the old ladies who were having a meal in the back kitchen all came out of the side room and gathered around to watch the excitement.
At this time, Jin Chuan'er was also pulled away from the edge of the well by several nuns. She collapsed on the ground, hugged her knees with her hands, buried her little face in the crook of her legs, and started to cry bitterly.
At this time, Qingwen stepped forward, looking sad for her misfortune and angry at her, and said angrily: "How angry are you? My wife asked you to leave, just leave. Second Master Bao teased you, but you became you."
Can you cleanse yourself of your sins by jumping into a well?"
coax……
The truth of the incident, which had been kept secret at first, exploded into a cloud of fog in an instant amidst the scolding of Qingwen, who had an explosive temper. The maids and mothers-in-law were talking among themselves.
At this moment, Yuanchun felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stared at Jia Heng beside him, his fair-skinned face already filled with prayer.
Jia Heng sighed: "Sister, the matter has come to this, it is useless to say more."
He would not whitewash Baoyu, and to be honest, Baoyu's reputation in the Ningrong Mansion... was obvious to all.
He took another deep look at Qingwen, looking at the girl in the green skirt with slender shoulders and water snake waist, her eyebrows stood up.
Qingwen, who is the shadow of Daiyu, is really a natural match for Mrs. Wang.
In the original work, Mrs. Wang glossed over Jin Chuan's jumping into the well: "It turned out that she broke one of my things the day before yesterday. I was angry for a moment, hit her twice and kicked her out... Isn't it mine?
Guilt?"
Baochai's reaction later...it's hard to describe in words.
Jia Heng looked at Jin Chuan who was already crying with tears in his eyes, his face was silent.
If Qing is Dai Ying and Xi is Chai Fu, then there is also a pair of borrowing shadows.
Xiaohong and Daiyu, Jinchuaner and Baochai.
Jia Heng suppressed his thoughts and asked: "What is worth seeking death and survival?"
Listening to the voice beside his ears, Jin Chuan seemed to feel a peaceful power. He raised his tearful eyes, looked at the young man, and called out: "Uncle Heng."
At this time, Yuanchun bent down, with a look of pity on his face. While helping Jin Chuan'er up, he said: "Get up quickly. The ground is cold. My wife is just angry for a moment. It's worth jumping into the well. No matter what, I
It's definitely not worth asking my wife for mercy and letting you come to my place."
At this time, the attacker also pulled up Jin Chuan'er and advised her, "My good sister, it's not worth walking down a dead end."
There was a bit of sadness in her heart, when she encountered this situation...
Jin Chuan was persuaded by several people, and his mood gradually calmed down, but he just kept sobbing.
Let’s talk about Lixiangyuan later——
Mrs. Wang was sitting and talking with Aunt Xue. Suddenly, a woman came from outside. With a look of panic on her face, she was out of breath and said: "Madam, it's not good, Jin Chuan fell into the well."
"Ah!" When Mrs. Wang suddenly heard this, her expression suddenly changed, she stood up suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and all the beads in her hand were thrown out and fell to the ground, rolling a few times and making a "bah" sound.
Aunt Xue asked hurriedly: "Sister, what is happening?"
Baochai also had watery apricot eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang with questioning eyes.
Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly and said: "Jinchuan just broke something of mine. I beat her. I thought I would let her come back after two days, but I never thought she would be so angry."
The woman took a breath and said: "Madam, it is now rumored in the house that it was the second master who molested Jinchuan'er, and Jinchuan'er was unwilling to be humiliated and threw herself into a well."
Mrs. Wang: “!!!”
Aunt Xue: "???"
Baochai:"……"
Mrs. Wang's vision went dark at this moment and she almost couldn't stand still. Aunt Xue on the side quickly helped her.
This teasing...
Mrs. Wang felt her hands and feet were cold, and she shuddered. She molested her mother-in-law. If this spread, her family's reputation would be ruined!
Aunt Xue on the side looked shocked and confused, but then she started to think again. This happened in all wealthy families, but jumping into a well was too outrageous.
Baochai squeezed the handkerchief, Yurong was stunned, and she didn't know what to feel in her heart.
For such a person, it's a shame she didn't...listen to her mother in the first place.
After thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but reflect that figure in my heart, and my lips seemed to still have the... tenderness and indifference from that day.
Mrs. Wang's face turned red and white, and she said angrily: "Who is talking nonsense? Hurry up and beat him out."
Even if you know that this is the truth, you can never admit it.
"Where's Jin Chuan? Has the body been fished out?" Mrs. Wang came to her senses and asked urgently.
The old woman said: "Uncle Heng and Miss Heng rescued the man in time. I heard that when they arrived, Jin Chuan'er was jumping into the well in the kitchen in the backyard."
At the end of the sentence, the woman's face also showed a look of horror.
Mrs. Wang froze on the spot for an instant, with a look of fear on her face.
If she jumped into the well where she was eating, she would have nightmares every night.
With this thought, I subconsciously held the beads, but found that my hands were empty. I quickly recited the Buddha's name several times in my heart to suppress the waves of heart palpitations.
Aunt Xue comforted her: "Sister, fortunately no one was killed."
Having also experienced Xue Pan's life lawsuit, even Aunt Xue was somewhat in awe of human life at this moment and could no longer say such stupid words as "call someone to come and sell Xiangling."
Baochai listened to Jia Heng and Yuan Chun on the side, her bright apricot eyes slightly undulating, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he is here, nothing will happen.
Mrs. Wang secretly gritted her teeth and said, "Let's take a look."
She must not allow rumors to spread in the East and West, otherwise her family's treasures will be ruined.
However, at this moment, as the servants began to gossip, the story of Baoyu teasing his mother-in-law and forcing her to jump into the well began to spread in the Jia family like it had grown legs.
