It is said that after Xiren saw Mrs. Jia Muwang waiting, he came to Baoyu and sat down beside him, and asked him tearfully, "Why did you hit this field?"Baoyu sighed and said, "But for those things, ask him what he does!"It's just that the lower half hurts a lot. Look, it's broken there.When Xiren heard about it, he reached in gently and took off his middle coat.When Baoyu made a slight movement, he gritted his teeth and called out, Xiren quickly stopped his hand, and it took three or four times to let it go.When Xiren looked at it, he saw that the upper half of the leg was bruised and purple, and there were raised stiff marks four fingers wide.Xiren gritted his teeth and said: My mother, how can you be so cruel!As long as you listen to me, you won't get this status.Fortunately, I didn't move my muscles and bones. If I got a disability, what would I do!

As I was talking, I only heard the maids say: Miss Bao is here.When Xiren heard it, he knew that he couldn't wear a middle coat, so he took a bed of gauze and covered it for Baoyu.I saw Baochai come in with a pill in his hand, and said to the attacker, "Grind this medicine with wine at night, apply it on him, and dissipate the heat poison of the congestion. It will be fine."After finishing speaking, he handed it to Xiren, and asked again: "Is this meeting better?"Baoyu thanked him and said, "Okay."Sit down again.When Baochai saw that he opened his eyes and spoke unlike what he had done before, Baochai was relieved a lot, so she nodded and sighed, "I heard a word from someone earlier, but it is not today."Not to mention the old ladies and wives feel distressed, even if we look at it, our hearts hurt.He swallowed quickly after he had just said half a sentence, regretting that he had spoken in a hurry, blushed before he knew it, and lowered his head.Baoyu heard these words so intimately and densely, with a lot of meaning, and suddenly saw that he swallowed again, blushed, lowered his head and just fiddled with his clothes. Feeling relieved, he left the pain behind, and thought to himself: I have only been beaten a few times, and each of them has these expressions of pity and sadness, which is admirable, pitiful and respectable.They don't know how sad they would be if I were to suffer a sudden death!Since they are like this, I will die for a while. If they are like this, even if my career is in vain, I will not regret it.Thinking about it, I just listened to Baochai asking Xiren: "Why do you start fighting when you get angry?"Xiren said what Baoming had said.

Baoyu didn't know Jia Huan's words at first, until he saw the attacker say it.Because he pulled Xue Pan up again, he was afraid that Baochai would sink his heart, so he hurriedly stopped attacking people and said, "Brother Xue has never been like this, so don't make guesses."When Baochai heard about it, she knew it was because she was afraid that he would be overwhelmed and used words to stop him from attacking others, because she thought to herself: "The image of the beating is so painful that I can't take care of it. I'm still so careful. I'm afraid of offending others. This can be seen in us." It can be regarded as hard work.Since you are so dedicated, why don't you work hard on the big things outside, the master is also happy, and you can't suffer like this.But of course you are afraid of my sinking heart, so if you stop attacking others, don't I know my elder brother's disposition of indulgence and no defense.Back then, he was a Qin Zhong, and he still caused a great upheaval. Naturally, it is even more serious now than before.After thinking about it, Yin smiled and said, "You don't have to blame this or that."As far as I think, after all, brother Bao is not upright and is willing to associate with those people, so the master is angry.Even if my elder brother speaks without guarding his head, he did not intentionally instigate Brother Bao by mentioning it: one is the original truth, and the other is that he did not talk about these trivial things to prevent suspicion.Miss Xi has only seen such a careful person as Brother Bao since she was a child. Have you ever seen a person who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, who can say what is in his heart.Because Xiren said Xue Pan, when Baoyu stopped him, he knew that he had made a mistake. He was afraid that Baochai would be boring, and he felt even more ashamed and speechless after hearing Baochai's words.When Baoyu heard Baochai's words again, he was half upright and upright, and half was dispelling his suspicions, and felt more happy than before.When Fang wanted to speak, Baochai got up and said, "I'll see you again tomorrow, so you can have a baby."Just now I took the medicine and gave it to Xiren, and I will put it on at night and it will be fine.Then he walked out the door.The attacker hurriedly sent him out of the hospital, saying, "Miss, don't worry about it."Another day, the second master Bao will be well, and I will thank you in person.Baochai looked back and smiled, "What can I thank you for?"You just advise him to rest in peace and stop thinking about it.Don't disturb the old ladies and wives. If you blow it into the ears of the master, even though it was not very good at that time, you will always suffer a loss when you are about to face the scene.Said, while going.

Xiren pulled back and came back, feeling really grateful to Baochai.When I came in, I saw Baoyu meditating silently, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, so I left the room and went to take a bath by myself.Baoyu lay silently on the bed, helplessly aching in her buttocks, like a needle being picked by a knife, and hot as a fire, and when she turned around a little, she couldn't help the sound of beeping.It was going to be late at that time, because I saw that the attacker had gone, but there were two or three servant girls serving him, so there was nothing to call at this time, because he said, "Go and wash up, and come back when I call."When everyone heard this, they also withdrew.

Here Baoyu was in a daze and silence, only to see Jiang Yuhan come in and tell about Zhongshun Mansion's arrest of him; and see Jin Chuan'er come in crying and say that he threw himself into the well for him.Baoyu was half asleep and half awake, so he didn't care.Suddenly he felt someone pushing him, and suddenly heard someone's sad voice.Baoyu woke up from the dream, opened his eyes and saw that it was not someone else but Lin Daiyu.Baoyu was still afraid that it was a dream, so he hurriedly leaned up again, and looked at his face carefully, only to see two swollen eyes like peaches, full of tears, not Daiyu, but that one?When Baoyu still wanted to watch, the pain in the lower half was unbearable, and he couldn't bear it, so he groaned, fell down, sighed, and said, "What are you doing here again?"Even though the sun was setting, the remaining heat on the ground hadn't dissipated, and after two trips, I would suffer from the heat again.Although I was beaten, I didn't feel any pain.Like me, I just pretend to coax them, so that I can spread out and listen to the master, but it is actually a lie.You must not be serious.Although Lin Daiyu wasn't crying loudly at this time, the more she wept silently, the more she felt hurt because she was choking with anger.After hearing Baoyu's words, although there were thousands of words in his heart, he just couldn't say them. After a long time, Fang sobbed and said, "You should change everything from now on!"When Baoyu heard about it, he sighed and said, "Don't worry, don't say such things."It is willing to die for these people!Before I finished a sentence, I saw someone outside the hospital saying: Second Grandma is here.Lin Daiyu knew that it was Sister Feng who had come, so she stood up quickly and said, "I'll go from the back yard and come back when I come back."Baoyu stopped him and said, "This is amazing. Why are you so afraid of him?"Lin Daiyu stomped her feet anxiously, and said quietly, "Look at my eyes, why should he make fun of me?"When Baoyu heard about it, he hurriedly let go.Daiyu turned around the bed in three steps and two steps, and went out of the backyard.Sister Feng came in from the front and asked Baoyu, "Is it better?"Whatever you want to eat, ask someone to bring it to me.Then, Aunt Xue came again.For a while, Jia Mu sent someone again.

When it was time to light the lamp, Baoyu only drank two mouthfuls of soup, and then fell into a drowsy sleep.Then, Zhou Rui's wife, Wu Xindeng's wife, and Zheng Haoshi's wife, who were old and frequented, also came in when they heard Baoyu was beaten.The attacker rushed out to greet him, and said with a soft smile: "The aunts came a step late, and the second master fell asleep."As he spoke, he took them to sit in the room over there, and poured tea with them to eat.The daughters-in-law sat quietly for a while, and said to the attacker: "When the second master wakes up, you can speak for us."

The attacker agreed and sent them out.Just when I was about to come back, I saw Mrs. Wang sent a woman to come, saying that the wife called someone who followed the second master.When Xiren heard about it, he thought about it, then turned around and told Qingwen, Sheyue, Tanyun, Qiuwen and others quietly, "My wife called someone, so you were born in the room. I will come as soon as I go."After finishing speaking, he went out of the garden with the woman and came to the upper room.Mrs. Wang was sitting on the couch shaking a plantain fan, when she saw him coming, she said: "It doesn't matter who you call."You have left him again, who will serve him?When Xiren heard about it, he quickly replied with a smile: "Second Master just slept soundly, and the four or five girls are well now, and will serve Second Master. Madam, please don't worry."I'm afraid my wife sent them here with some orders, but they couldn't understand them for a while, so it was delayed.Mrs. Wang said: "I don't have much to say, just ask him how the pain is going."Xi Ren said: "I applied the medicine that Miss Bao sent to the second master. It's better than before."First it was so painful that I couldn't lie down, but now I fell into a deep sleep, so I can see that I'm better.

Mrs. Wang asked again: "Did you eat anything?"Attacker said: The old lady gave me a bowl of soup, I drank two sips, and only complained that I was thirsty and wanted to eat sour plum soup.I thought that sour plum is a restraining thing, just after being beaten, and I was not allowed to shout, the heat, poison and hot blood of the rush naturally did not exist in my heart, if I eat this to agitate my heart, and then make a serious illness, what can I do? .So I persuaded me for a long time before I didn't eat it. I just ate it with the rose pickled in sugar. After eating half a bowl, I thought it was too sweet.Mrs. Wang said: "Hey, you shouldn't have come to tell me earlier."A few days ago, someone sent two bottles of fragrant dew. It was intended to give him some ideas, but I was afraid that he would be ruined, so I didn't give them.Since he finds those rose ointments bothersome, take two bottles of this.You only need to pick a teaspoon in a bowl of water, and it will be very fragrant.As he said that, he called Caiyun to come and brought the bottles of fragrant dew from before.Attacker said: "Just take two bottles, if you have too many bottles, you will be ruined in vain."It's the same if you don't wait enough to ask for it again.Caiyun heard that after going there for half a day, he brought two bottles and gave them to Xiren.When Xiren looked at it, he saw two glass vials, but they were three inches in size, with screwed silver caps on them. On the light yellow paper was written sweet-scented osmanthus clear dew, and the other one was written with rose clear dew. Xiren smiled and said: What a precious thing!How much can there be in such a small bottle?Mrs. Wang said: "That's from the top. Didn't you see the light yellow paper?"You are good to keep it for him, don't be collapsed.

The attacker agreed, and when Fang was about to leave, Mrs. Wang called again: "Stand still, I think of a word to ask you."The attacker came back in a hurry.Seeing that there was no one in the room, Mrs. Wang asked, "I heard in a daze that Baoyu was being beaten today. What did Huan'er say in front of the master?"Can you hear this?If you want to hear it, tell me to listen to it, and I will not make a noise to let others know that it was you who said it.Xi Rendao: I didn't hear that. I took over the actor for the second master. They came to ask the master for this.Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "It's also because of this, and there are other reasons."Attacker said: I really don't know the other reasons.Today I boldly say something in front of my wife that I don't know what is good or bad.After talking about the theory, he hurriedly swallowed it.Mrs. Wang said: "Just talk."The attacker laughed and said, "Madam, don't be angry, I'll just say it."Mrs. Wang said: "What's wrong with me? Just say it."Xi Rendao: Logically, our second master also needs to be taught twice by the master.If the master doesn't care anymore, I don't know what to do in the future.

As soon as Mrs. Wang heard this, she put her hands together and recited Amitabha, and couldn't help shouting: "My son, thanks to you, I understand, these words are the same as my heart."Why did I not know how to take care of my son, how did I take care of him when you, Master Zhu, were here? Don’t tell me I don’t know how to take care of my son now?There's just one reason: now I think, I'm almost fifty years old, and he's the only one left. , or the old lady was very angry, and she was uneasy at that time, wouldn't it be bad, so she spoiled him.I often persuaded him for a while, talked for a while, cursed angrily for a while, and cried for a while. He was good at that time, but it was irrelevant after that, and he suffered a lot.If it breaks, who will I rely on in the future!As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Seeing Mrs. Wang's grief, Xiren didn't feel hurt, and shed tears along with her.He said again: "The second master is raised by his wife, so don't you feel distressed."Even if we serve as servants for a while, and everyone is safe, it can be regarded as good fortune. If we want to get up like this, we can't even be safe.On that day and at that moment, I didn't persuade the second master, but I couldn't wake up any more.If those people are willing to get close to him, they can't blame him for being like this. It's not good if we always persuade them.Today when my wife mentioned this, I still have one thing in mind. Every time I have to go back and forth with my wife to ask her for advice.It's just that I'm afraid that my wife will be suspicious. Not only will my words be in vain, but I will also lose my place to be buried.After hearing this, Mrs. Wang had a reason, and hurriedly asked: "My son, if you have something to say, just say it."Recently, because I heard people praise you behind their backs, I just said that you are just paying attention to Baoyu, or being kind to everyone.Who would have thought that what you said to me just now is full of truth, exactly the same as mine.Just say what you have, just don't teach others to know it.Xi Rendao: I have nothing else to say.I just want to ask my wife to show me how to change the way, and teach the second master to move out of the garden in the future.Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly took the attacker's hand and asked: "Who did Baoyu make trouble with?"The attacker quickly replied, "Don't worry, madam, there is no such thing."This is just my little knowledge.Now the second master is getting older, and so are the girls in the house, besides, Ms. Lin and Bao are the cousins ​​of the second aunt. Although they are sisters, they are divided into men and women. It is inconvenient to sit and sit together day and night. , Even outsiders don't look like it.Family matters, as the saying goes, when there is nothing to do, there is always something to think about. Most of the mindless things in the world are mostly done unintentionally. People who care about them see it and take it as something on their minds, but say it is bad.It's just that it's not good to prevent it in advance.My wife knows Erye's usual personality.He also prefers to make trouble in our team. If he doesn't guard against it, he is a little bit wrong, no matter whether it is true or not, and there are many people talking about it, so what is there to avoid talking about the villain's mouth? If it doesn't go well, it will be demoted even worse than an animal.In the future, if someone says yes to Erye, it’s fine for everyone to live straight; if we want someone to say a bad word, we needn’t say it. It’s a trivial matter, but the reputation and conduct of Erye’s life later Isn't it over? It's hard for the second wife to see the master.As the saying goes, it is better for a gentleman to guard against what is wrong than to avoid it.My wife has a lot of things to do, of course I can't think of it for a while.We can't think of it, but if we think about it, if we don't return to Mrs. Ming, the crime will be more serious.Recently, I have been worrying about this matter day and night, and it is hard to tell others, only the lamp knows. Mrs. Wang heard this, like thunder and lightning, touched the matter of Jin Chuan'er, her heart became more and more moved, she quickly laughed and said: "My son, you have such a heart, you think about it." So thoughtful!I never thought of it again, but I just forgot about it a few times.What you said today reminded me.It's hard for you to give my mother a decent reputation, really, I didn't know you were so good.Forget it, go ahead, I have my own reasons.But there is one more sentence: Since you said such a thing today, I will hand him over to you. Be careful anyway, and if you save him, you will save me.I naturally live up to you. The attacker repeatedly agreed to go.When Baoyu came back, he woke up and Xiren returned to Mingxianglu.Baoyu couldn't help but ordered to try it, and it was really delicious.Because he had Daiyu in mind, he wanted to send someone to go there, but he was afraid of attacking people, so he made a way to send them to Baochai to borrow books. When the attacker went, Baoyu ordered Qingwen to come and say, "Go to Miss Lin and see what he is doing."He wants to ask me, just say I'm fine.Qingwen said: "white eyebrows and red eyes, what are you going to do?"After all, to say a word is also like a thing.Baoyu said, "There's nothing to say."Qingwen said: "If not, it's either to send something or pick it up, otherwise how can I strike up a conversation when I go?"Baoyu thought for a while, then stretched out his hand and took two handkerchiefs, Lian and Qingwen, and said with a smile: "Forget it, just say I asked you to give this to him."Qingwen said: "This is strange again."He wants these two handkerchiefs that are half new and not old?He's going to get annoyed again and say you're making fun of him.Baoyu laughed and said, "Don't worry, he knows." After hearing this, Qingwen had to take a handkerchief to Xiaoxiang hall.I saw Chunxian was drying a handkerchief on the railing. When he came in, he waved his hand and said, "I'm asleep."Qingwen walked in, and the room was completely dark.The lights were not lit.Daiyu was already asleep on the bed and asked who it was.Qingwen hurriedly replied: Qingwen.Daiyu said: "What are you doing?"Qingwen said: "The second master sent a handkerchief to the girl."When Daiyu heard this, she felt bored: Why did you send me a handkerchief?Yin asked: Who gave him this handkerchief?It must be the best one. Tell him to keep it and give it to others. I don't need this for a while.Qingwen laughed and said: "It's either new, or old at home."When Lin Daiyu heard it, she became more and more depressed, and searched carefully. After thinking for a while, Fang Dawu came over and said quickly: "Let it go, let's go."After hearing this, Qingwen had no choice but to let go, and went back, thinking all the way, wondering what she meant. Here, Lin Daiyu thoughtfully expressed the meaning of the handkerchief, and she couldn't feel her spirit wandering: Baoyu's painstaking efforts, it is gratifying for me to understand my painstaking efforts; Send me two old handkerchiefs in a good way. If it didn't make me feel deeply, just looking at the handkerchief would make me laugh; Tasteless, and shame on me.Thinking about it this way, it boiled for a while.Daiyu couldn't help but hold the lamp, and couldn't think of things like suspicion and avoidance, so she dipped her pen in the ink on the case, and wrote on the two old handkerchiefs: The eyes are empty with tears and the tears are empty, who are you secretly throwing away? How can people not feel sad for the size shark to give away their labor! second Throwing pearls and rolling jade only steals the tears, and the whole day is careless; the whole day is idle; It's hard to wipe off the sleeves on the pillow, let him dots and spots. third The colored thread is hard to get rid of, and the old traces of the Xiangjiang River are blurred; There are thousands of bamboos in front of the window, and there are no scent marks or stains? When Lin Daiyu was about to write, she felt hot all over her body, and her face was burning. She went to the mirror and took a picture. Still holding the veil and thinking about it, it doesn't matter. But he said that Xiren came to see Baochai, who knew that Baochai was not in the garden, but went to his mother, and Xiren came back empty-handed.Baochai came back at the second watch.It turned out that Baochai knew Xue Pan's sentimental nature, and half suspected that Xue Pan had instigated someone to sue Baoyu. Who knew that he heard Xiren say it again, and became more and more convinced.After all, Xiren heard Baoming say it, and Baoming was also spying for selfishness, and did not verify the facts, so he actually believed it was him who said it.That Xue Pan has gained such a reputation day by day, but this time he was not the one who did it.This day, when I came back from having a drink outside, I met my mother, and saw Baochai here, and said a few gossips, because I asked, "I heard that brother Bao suffered a loss, why?"Aunt Xue was feeling uncomfortable because of this, and when she saw him asking, she gritted her teeth and said: You are the one who caused the trouble, you still have the face to ask!When Xue Pan saw this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Why am I making trouble?"Aunt Xue said: You are still pretending to be stupid!Everyone knows it's you who said it, and it's okay.Xue Pan said: "Everyone says I killed someone, so they believe it?"Aunt Xue said: "Even your sister knows that you said it, so does he depend on you?"Baochai hurriedly persuaded: "Mom and brother, don't shout. If it stops, there will be a black and white."Yin said to Xue Pan: "Whether you said it or not, the matter is over. There is no need to prove it, but it makes a small matter bigger."I just advise you to stop messing around outside and meddle in other people's affairs from now on.Everyone hangs out together every day, you are an unguarded person, and you will be fine afterward.If there is something that you did not do, everyone will suspect that you did it, needless to say others, I will doubt it first. Xue Pan was an outspoken person, and he had never seen such a hidden thing in his life, and Baochai advised him not to go for a walk, and his mother said that he had a bad tongue, and that Baoyu's beating was healed, and he was already jumping around in a hurry, gambling himself sworn plea.He scolded everyone: Who sent me so badly?I knocked that prisoner's teeth out!It's obviously for beating Baoyu, and I'm used as a cover to show off.Is Baoyu the king of heaven?His father beat him up, and the whole family would be in trouble for a few days.That time, because he was not good, my aunt beat him twice. Afterwards, the old lady somehow found out, and said that it was Brother Zhen who treated him, so she yelled and scolded him.It's pulling me in even more today!Even if I pulled it up, I was not afraid. I went in and beat Baoyu to death. I paid for his life and everyone was clean.Shouting, he grabbed a latch and ran.Panicked, Aunt Xue grabbed her and scolded: "You damn evil, who are you going to beat?"You call me first!Xue Pan's anxious eyes were like copper bells, and he shouted: "Why bother to come!"He didn't ask me to go, and he relied on me well.In the future, Baoyu will live for a day, and I will worry about my tongue for a day. It is not as good as everyone's death.Baochai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "Just be patient."Mom is so anxious, if you don't say it to persuade mom, you still make trouble like this.Don't say it's your mother, even if someone else comes to persuade you, it's for your own good, and it has persuaded your temper.Xue Pan said: "Now I'm saying that again."You said it all!Baochai said: "You only blame me for talking, and don't blame your situation for not caring about the future."Xue Pan said: "You only blame me for not caring about the future, why don't you blame Baoyu for being provocative outside!"Don't talk too much, I'll just compare it to you with the matter of the former son Qiguan: that Qiguan, we met more than ten times, and I didn't say a word of affection to him; I don't know, so I gave him the sweat towel?Is this also what I said?Aunt Xue and Baochai said anxiously, "I'm still mentioning this!"It's not about hitting him.It can be seen that you said it.Xue Pan said: I'm really mad!I'm not annoyed by what I said, I'm just making such a fuss about a precious jade.Baochai said, "Who is making trouble?"You first make a scene with a knife and stick, and then talk about other people making a scene.Xue Pan saw that Baochai's words were reasonable and difficult to refute, and harder to answer than his mother's, so he tried to talk back to him, so that no one dared to stop him; He said, "Good sister, you don't have to quarrel with me, I already knew your heart."My mother told me before that you have to pick someone with jade to match your gold, so you paid attention.Seeing that Baoyu has the bones of Laoshi, you naturally take action to protect him now.Before he could say anything, Baochai was stunned. He pulled Aunt Xue and cried, "Listen, mother, what is your brother saying?"Seeing his sister crying, Xue Pan knew that he had offended, so he went to his room to rest in a fit of anger. Here, Aunt Xue was fighting in anger, and at the same time persuaded Baochai, "You always know that that scoundrel has no reason to speak, so I'll ask him to accompany you tomorrow, shall I?"Baochai was full of grievances and anger, wondering what to do, and afraid that his mother would be uneasy, so she had to say goodbye to her with tears in her eyes, and went back to her room to cry all night.I got up early the next day, and I didn't have the heart to wash and tidy up, so I went out to see my mother.By chance, I met Lin Daiyu alone under the shade of flowers and asked him where he was going.Because Xue Baochai said to go home, he just went as long as he said in his mouth.Daiyu saw that he was going away listlessly, and saw that there were tears in his eyes, which were far from what they used to be, so she laughed behind her and said, "Sister, take care of yourself too."Even crying two vats of tears can't heal the sores.I don't know how Baochai answered correctly. Let's listen to the next chapter.
