Chapter 133 The Dream of the Red Mansion 5

After returning from Lin's house, Baoyu was a little out of his mind, and when he met Jia Zheng's eyes, he was reprimanded again.Jia Zheng wants to check his homework. Baoyu hates reading the most, but he is smart and can't help him by reciting, but Jia Zheng is annoyed when he talks about current articles.When Jia Mu got the news, she immediately found an excuse to call Baoyu away, and she escaped a beating temporarily.

Jia's mother looked at Baoyu and sighed: "Your father is also doing it for your own good. You have to move out to live after the new year, study hard, and don't always make him angry."

Baoyu was full of reluctance, but then he thought of someone: "Old lady, I don't want to go to ethnology, can I study at home? Sister Lin has a very good teacher, why not invite him to teach me?"

"Your sister Lin's teacher?" Jia Mu thought for a while, but she knew such a person, but what Jia Mu thought was, if she could ask this person to teach Baoyu to study, she might be able to invite this person to come forward to talk to Lin Ruhai in the future.Jia's mother never gave up on Shuangyu's marriage, and even without the Lin family, she still looked down on the Xue family.It's not that Xue Baochai is bad, it's just that there is such a brother, and the Xue family has fallen again, how can he be worthy of Baoyu.

Inviting a teacher is a major matter, which should be handled by Jia Zheng. Besides, Baoyu is Jia Zheng's son, so he can't get over it.Unexpectedly, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng talked about it, but Jia Zheng did not agree.

"Old lady, that Mr. Tao did teach his niece, but he didn't come from the imperial examination, and he didn't have the slightest fame. How did he teach Baoyu? If he was really capable, wouldn't brother-in-law Lin ask him to teach his nephew? This Baoyu is so big, it's different At that time, the old lady should not spoil him too much, our children are all studying in the family school, why can't he go?" Jia Zheng had no choice but to dote on Jia's mother.

Thinking of Baoyu's future, Jia Mu said, "What you said is reasonable, so let's forget about it. It's the end of the year, and it's cold. I'll send him to study when the spring warms up. Anyway, it won't be a day or two. "

"Yes." Jia Zheng was not surprised by this, but he made up his mind to arrange some studies for Baoyu, so as not to let the wild horse go crazy.

Baoyu was very disappointed when he heard the result.

At this time Mrs. Wang came in with a hurried expression, and said, "Baoyu, go play with your sisters, I have something to say with the old lady."

When Jia Mu saw that her voice was different from before, she let the couples go down too.

There were only two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left in the house, and Madam Wang's eyes turned red and she shed tears: "Old lady, someone came from the palace just now and said that concubine concubine was ill. Concubine concubine sent a letter, saying, saying that it was only because she was ill. Oh no."

"What?" Mother Jia sat up straight, her face full of shock, "I was fine last month, why did you suddenly get sick?"

When Yuan Chun was given to the third prince as a concubine, people in the capital made fun of it. After all, Yuan Chun entered the palace as the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and wasted in the palace until she was 23 years old. How could she not make people laugh.Mother Jia thought this was a good opportunity. Although the third prince was not a direct descendant, his mother was a noble concubine, and she was liked by the emperor. Without the prince in front of him, he would be the eldest and had a great chance of succeeding.There will be a day in the future when Yuan Chun will have qualifications even if he is not favored any more. A concubine cannot escape, and with a son and a half daughter, it is not difficult to win the position of concubine.

Unexpectedly, Yuanchun strives for success. When he enters the palace, he will be favored. When he is promoted to concubine, he will be rewarded every now and then. Even Jia Zheng's official position will be promoted by half a rank.Now they are all looking forward to the news coming from Yuan Chun's stomach earlier, but they don't know that the news is actually bad.

Mother Jia has experienced a lot, and she is afraid that the palace's secrets will be involved in it, so she wants to meet Yuan Chun in person.It stands to reason that Yuan Chun is just a concubine, so she can't take care of her family as she pleases, but this time, Mother Jia has to go to get rid of her old face.

Mother Jia ordered someone to prepare stickers and send them to the palace. After getting permission, she put on a lot of makeup the next day, and took Mrs. Wang Xifeng to greet the third princess.The reason why Jiamu took Wang Xifeng was because she knew the corners of her mouth and was not stage frightened. If the third concubine was happy, it would be hard to stop them from seeing Yuanchun.

After they went out, Mrs. Xing was furious. She was about to smash the tea bowl in her hand, but she felt reluctant, so she pushed the tea bowl on the table angrily, and cursed: "This is really throwing away our eldest family. Open! When asking for money, let us stand in front, and leave us behind when getting money. My wife is indeed a smart one. She doesn't look down on me as a mother-in-law, and she is trying to curry favor with the old lady and get close to her aunt."

Those who accompany Wang Shanbao's house don't know that she has a knot in her heart, that is, she is not happy about not being able to go to the Three Princes' Mansion.

"My wife, are you suffering from going out in the cold? It's just right if we don't go. I saw that the faces of the old lady and the second lady are not good. It is said that the eldest lady is sick. I'm afraid this disease 'It's not simple either. As the saying goes: Like a mother, like a daughter. What kind of tricks does our bodhisattva-like second wife have? If the eldest lady is in the palace, she will do the same..."

"Impossible? Ouch, you call me such a muddled niece!" She sighed with emotion, but it was clearly a gloating face.

The third concubine was well aware of the arrival of Jiamu and the others, so she didn't feel embarrassed. After saying a few words, she asked them to take them to Jia Yuanchun's house. .

Originally, there was no "concubine concubine" in the status of wives and concubines of princes or princes. However, there have always been various reasons throughout the ages that gave birth to various concubines.Jia Yuanchun can be called a concubine mainly because she is favored. Of course, it has something to do with her background.Yuanchun lived alone in the same courtyard, which was very special, and Mrs. Wang was very proud.This point was entrusted by the third prince to the concubine. His fascination with Yuanchun became stronger and stronger day by day, so naturally he would reward her with everything good, and naturally he would not treat her poorly in terms of residence.

The other concubines and concubines were jealous and hated, secretly scolding "fox spirits", and the side concubines would also insinuate a few words to each other. Now that Yuan Chun is ill, everyone is very happy.

Jia Mu paid attention to the expressions of the people in the house along the way, and her heart became more and more heavy.

A woman's jealousy is extremely terrifying, Yuan Chun is sick...

"My servant has seen the old lady, the second wife, and the second grandma." Baoqin waited at the door, opened the felt curtain, and led the three of them in.

Jiamu and the others went directly to the inner room. Yuan Chun was lying on the bed. The windows in the room were closed and two braziers were burning.Yuanchun used to be a little plump, but she was born well and took care of herself. She has a different charm than a girl in her teens.Now Yuanchun is obviously thinner, lacking complexion, lack of energy, and sickly.

"My son..." Mrs. Wang became sad when she saw it, and Wang Xifeng lowered her head and pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Don't just cry!" Jia's mother's eyes were also red, and she knew that she was holding a piano to watch outside, so she sat in front of the bed, held Yuan Chun's hand and asked: "The concubine Shu sent things to the mansion a while ago, Why did you suddenly get sick? What kind of disease? What did the imperial doctor say?"

"The imperial doctor couldn't see any disease. He just said that I was weak and wanted me to take supplements. I ate a lot of good food, but it didn't work much." Yuan Chun had to rest after speaking a few words, always feeling that his energy was not enough.She recalled what happened in the dream that night, and vaguely guessed a little bit. In addition, Fairy Jing Huan never fell into the dream again.

"Is there any other reason for your illness?" Mother Jia asked again.

Yuan Chun understood her meaning and shook his head.

Jia Mu patted her hand and said: "Don't think too much, I'll see that it's not a problem, so relax and take good care of her. How does the prince treat you?"

"My lord has treated me very well. Now that I'm sick, he will come to see me once a day." Mentioning this matter, Yuan Chun's expression was gentle.

The third prince is less than forty, although he is not a handsome man, but his royal background has a distinctive bearing, and he treats her with gentleness, consideration, and sweet words. No matter how smart and mature Yuan Chun is, she is just a woman, and she already has longing for her husband. How could he not be tempted to face such a third prince?But she also knew where this favor came from, so she had a cruel calmness.

Mother Jia and others were relieved when they heard this.

Mrs. Wang was still a little worried: "It's not a problem to be sick all the time. When you invite a good doctor, the concubine concubine is favored. What if..."

There are quite a few women in the backyard of the Third Prince, not to mention the concubines and concubines above, but a group of tender and charming concubines can dazzle people. Jia Yuanchun's age is a disadvantage, and his appearance is not outstanding in comparison. To be favored is to be lucky.No one can guarantee that if he gets sick for a few more days, will the Third Prince love the new and dislike the old?

Mother Jia asked which imperial physicians they were seeing, and heard that they saw three or four doctors, all of whom often treated the nobles in the palace, and their medical skills were not bad.Jia Mu then said: "Let's go out to search and search, and then we will ask the third princess for grace."

Even though Yuan Chun is a girl from the Jia family, when a woman gets married she is a member of her husband's family, not to mention that this is the palace, as concubines in the palace, they should be in charge of everything, there is no room for their natal family to intervene.No matter how impatient Jia's mother is, she can't ignore the rules. Fortunately, it's not too difficult and she can plan.

Wang Xifeng suddenly said: "I heard that there is a medical clinic called Huichuntang, the doctor Xu in it is very good at gynecology, and he has treated the old concubine of Nan'an."

Jia Mu also thought of this man: "It's just right, let him come and have a look."

When Jiamu said goodbye that day, she tried to mention this matter to the third concubine. Although the concubine was unhappy, she wanted to ask the prince for instructions, considering that Yuanchun was favored.

The third prince was sure, he desperately hoped that Yuan Chun would recover from his illness as soon as possible.Yuan Chun didn't feel it in the first two days of his illness, but after a few days passed, he felt a little bit unwilling to eat, and couldn't sleep at night. He opened his eyes and closed his eyes, thinking about Yuan Chun, and there was a hook in his heart. .Piansheng Yuanchun was ill, he couldn't get over it, and his temper became bad.

The job of asking the doctor fell on Jia Lian.

When Jia Lian came to Huichun Hall, it happened that Xu Yan didn't make a doctor's visit that day and was sitting in the hall to treat patients.Jia Lian explained the purpose of his visit. Xu Yan heard that he was treating Jia Yuanchun's illness, so he was a little interested and agreed.Jia Lian had already prepared the car, and immediately the two went to the Third Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he left here, another carriage came, and the person who got out of the carriage was Prince Zhongshun.

Ban Xia saw it and immediately notified Tao Shuobai.Ban Xia and Dong have been together for many years, the relationship between Tao Shuobai and Xu Yan is of course speculative, not to mention that Tao Shuobai is half the owner of this medical clinic, and it is normal for Tao Shuobai to greet guests when they come.

"Mr. Tao is free today. The king has prepared a small show in the mansion, and I invite Mr. Tao to show you." King Zhongshun smiled warmly, as if nothing happened in the past.

"I don't like to listen to operas." Tao Shuobai is not afraid of going to the appointment, and he doesn't think that King Zhongshun still has any small thoughts about him, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to get in touch with this kind of people.

"If the steward of the King of Heaven offended Mr. Tao a few days ago, and Mr. Tao is happy, then he will be at the discretion of Mr. Zhongshun." After all, King Zhongshun can let go of his identity.

"No, I don't care about it."

"The king will leave." King Zhongshun said no more, turned around and boarded the car to leave, but left behind a heavy gift.

"Mr. Tao?" Ban Xia asked for instructions.

"Put it away." Tao Shuobai didn't care about the real intention of the other party, and if the past was smoothed over, he wouldn't hold on to it.

An hour later, Xu Yan came back.

Pinellia fetched water, Xu Yan washed his hands and face, and changed his clothes again, and then he talked about Jia Yuanchun's illness: "The pulse condition does not look like a serious illness, but the loss of vitality and mental stagnation will inevitably wake up in a dream, night sweats, mental illness. Weary, not thinking about eating. The imperial doctor asked her to recuperate, and the prescriptions were all very good, but depending on her physical condition, she would not be able to take care of her for a year or so."

"More than that." Tao Shuobai recalled that night when Yuan Chun's living soul was drawn out by police illusion, he shouted in surprise, Yuan Chun was frightened and her soul returned to its place, but in fact her soul was already traumatized.In addition, she was under the certain backlash of the blood contract, and her worries and worries accumulated over time, how could she not lose money?That's all, they can always be healed, even the wounds on the soul are not harmful to life, but...

"Not only? Why?" Xu Yan asked.

"The vitality stolen by Gu worms was transferred to the third prince through Yuanchun. The way to think about it is to use intercourse techniques. In ancient times, intercourse techniques included harvesting tonic, harvesting yin to replenish yang, or harvesting yang to replenish yin, and there were also dual cultivations of yin and yang circulation. , Jing Huan moved his hands and feet, so that Yuan Chun took the initiative to be recruited by the third prince during sex. Previously, Gu worms continuously provided vitality and luck, and Yuan Chun was not only harmless, but also benefited from it, but now..."

Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "What will happen if she has sex with the third prince again?"

"Knowingly asking."

Xu Yan smiled and said, "This Jia Yuanchun..."

Seeing that it was still early in the sky, Xu Yan snatched the book from him and decided to take him to the Wuxiang teahouse for tea.The street is still very lively. When I came to the teahouse, I found that there were more people in the teahouse than in the past. It turned out that some students started clubs here, and some princes and grandsons came to watch the excitement.

"Two guests, I'm really sorry, our store is full." The shopkeeper said apologetically, and then said: "If you two are here to appreciate plum blossoms, you can go directly to the back building. A plum blossom poem can be entertained."

"That's interesting." Xu Yan was watching the excitement, so he and Tao Shuobai went to the back building.

The back of the tea house is not particularly big, but the layout is ingenious, with many small buildings, plum blossoms, small ponds, rockery, and small bamboo forests.It had just snowed a few days ago, and there was still snow in the corner. Men of all colors shuttled among them, and couples of threes and threes recited poems and argued against each other, feeling very happy.

A young servant came towards me holding a tray, and there were papers, pens and ink in the tray: "My lords, please keep your calligraphy."

Xu Yan was the first to pick up the pen, and it was the first quatrain.

Tao Shuobai also wrote a poem, but like Xu Yan, he did not leave his name.

Xu Yan saw a few small tables on the corridor, and some people were sitting and drinking tea, so he chose an empty table and sat with Tao Shuobai.Suddenly, there are children holding hot tea.

Here and there you can hear people reciting poems and criticizing them. Some of these people sincerely write poems to discuss with each other, and some arty take the opportunity to have fun. Tao Shuobai and Xu Yan can be regarded as the second type.

"Mr. Tao!" Suddenly someone walked up to him and looked intently. He was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with a face like the moon of Mid-Autumn Festival and a color like the flowers of spring dawn. He was wrapped in gorilla felt and accompanied by a clever boy.

Tao Shuobai recognized him, he met Jia Baoyu at the Lin family!

"Does Mr. Tao also come here to write poems? I often hear sister Lin mentioning Mr. My sister's poems are light and elegant. I think Mr.'s talent is even more different from the vulgar. Baoyu also has a poem. I would like to ask Mr. to comment."

Xu Yan narrowed his eyes, and the emotion he saw in Jia Baoyu's eyes was very annoying.

Tao Shuobai's attention was on the psychic jade on Jia Baoyu's neck, he raised his hand and pointed: "Can I have a look?"

Jia Baoyu was still afraid that he would ignore him, so when he opened his mouth, he hurriedly took off the psychic treasure jade and handed it over with both hands.

Tao Shuobai took it, and sure enough, there were characters on both sides of it. The precious jade was as big as a bird's egg, as bright as a bright glow, as shiny as a crisp, and surrounded by five-color patterns.Ordinary people will say good jade when they see it, and cultivators will call it a treasure when they see it!The psychic treasure jade is the sky-repairing stone practiced by Nu Wa back then. The remaining piece was left unused and discarded at the foot of Qinggeng Peak. Somehow, it touched Fan Xin. He wanted to travel to the prosperity of the world, so he was brought down by a monk. , Turned into a psychic gem and followed Shenying's waiter through the calamity.After all, it was practiced to mend the sky at the beginning. Although it was never used later, this stone is not an extraordinary thing, and it has given birth to spiritual wisdom. It is already regarded as a spiritual thing in the world.If someone gets it, they can refine the magic weapon of the fairy weapon, and the vast space naturally generated in the jade, the rich and abundant aura, can completely refine the powerful mustard, and even the cornerstone of the derivation of the small world.

Fairy Jing Huan must have wanted this psychic gem, but this gem is extraordinary, intelligent, and cannot be taken by force, but if the gem is polluted...

It's really thoughtful!

For this "Dream of Red Mansions", Fairy Jing Huan spent all her time and schemes, even if there were one or two accidents, she would not get nothing.

"It's a good piece of jade." Tao Shuobai returned the psychic jade to him without saying anything.

Although Jia Baoyu is sometimes stubborn and crazy at home, he knows etiquette outside, just like now, even if he doesn't care about this psychic jade in his heart, when Tao Shuobai said this, he just smiled and didn't refute.In fact, if his family hadn't said that it was his lifeblood, he would have given the jade to the other party directly.

Originally, Baoyu wanted to sit for a while longer, but he followed Li Gui to find him: "Second Lord, go home quickly, the old lady is looking for you."

Baoyu lingers and refuses to leave, but is finally pulled away by Li Gui.

"This is really a treasure!" Xu Yan was slightly sarcastic. He was used to seeing the children and grandchildren of rich and noble families, and he was not alone in Baoyu.Everyone in the world scolds these children and grandchildren for being useless, how can they know that it is not because the parents and elders dote on them too much, there is a limit to everything, and excessiveness is harmful.

When Baoyu came home, he found that the maids looked wrong. Before asking, Qingwen in the room told the story.

"Second Grandma Lian is sick, she got up early and she's fine, she was joking with the old ladies and girls, when suddenly her eyes went straight, she screamed and jumped wildly, which frightened people so much that several wives stopped her she."

"Have you invited the doctor? What did Madam say?" Baoyu was also stunned, not expecting such a thing to happen.

"Physician Wang came and saw nothing, but Ma Daopo came and said that the second grandma had offended the little devil and was possessed by an evil spirit." Qingwen said.

Baoyu frowned, because Ma Daopo was his godmother, it was hard to say.

Qingwen couldn't see what he was thinking, and sighed: "Now a dead horse is used as a living horse doctor. It doesn't matter whether he is useful or not. It won't hurt to try."

"What about 'dead horse' or 'live horse', be careful not to be overheard." The attacker came, carefully adjusted Baoyu's clothes and hairband, and urged him: "Go to the old lady, the old lady is frightened, I won’t worry if I don’t see you now.”

When Baoyu arrived at Jiamu's place, Jiamu held him in her arms, and several other sisters were in front of her, and no one said a word.Baoyu said: "Old lady, how is Sister Feng? I'll go and see Sister Feng."

"Don't go, your sister Feng is ill, you can go after she recovers." In fact, Mother Jia was afraid that the place would not be clean.

At this time, the courtyard of Jia Lian's young couple was bustling with activity. Ma Daopo was setting up an altar, wearing Taoist gowns, talking magically, jumping and jumping.Jia Lian didn't believe it, but the imperial physician couldn't see it, so he had to try this method.When Ma Daopo melted a bowl of talisman water, Ping'er took it carefully.

Approaching the door, Ping'er hesitated a little: "Second Master, do you really want Second Grandma to drink this talisman water?"

"Try it." Jia Lian said the same thing.

As soon as the little girl raised the curtain, she suddenly saw Wang Xifeng rushing out from inside, bang!He smashed the bowl in Ping'er's hand, and heard a bang, and at the same time, there was Ma Daopo's miserable howl.Ping'er turned his head and saw that it was Wang Xifeng who smashed Ma Daopo's head with a vase, and kicked Ma Daopo again. It caught fire, screaming and rolling on the ground, not to mention how embarrassing and ridiculous.

Seeing Wang Xifeng's mouth twitching into a smile, Ping'er looked eerie and frightening.

This, this is not the second grandma!

Ping'er suddenly felt that her grandma must be bewitched.

Jia Lian was also trembling with fright, finally gritted his teeth, and waved at the two women, and several of them joined together and tied up Wang Xifeng again.Previously, only Wang Xifeng's hands were bound, but she broke free. This time, Jia Lian tied her hands and feet firmly, and told Ping'er to watch, while he went back to the old lady.

Mother Jia let Baoyu and her sisters go first.

Jia Lian said in a low voice: "Old lady, Second Mistress is very ill. I want to find an eminent monk."

Mother Jia agreed.
