But it is said that after Daiyu decided to kill herself, she gradually became exhausted, and she died in one day.In the past ten days or so, Jia's mother and others took turns to visit, and she sometimes said a few words, but these two days she did not speak much at all.Although my heart is dizzy at times, it is also clear at times.When Jia's mother saw that her illness did not seem to have arisen for no reason, she also questioned Zijuan and Xueyan twice, but how dare they speak.It was Zicuckoo who wanted to ask Shishu for news, but was afraid that the more trouble would become true, and Daiyu would die sooner, so when she saw Shishu, she never mentioned it.That snow goose was caused by her passing on the word, at this time, she wished she could grow a hundred mouths to say that I didn't say anything, so naturally she didn't dare to mention it.On this day when Daiyu died, Zijuan was hopeless, so she watched and cried for a while, because she came out and secretly said to Xueyan, "Come into the house and watch her well."I went back to the old lady, the wife and the second grandmother. Today's situation is very different from usual.Xueyan agreed, and Zicuckoo would go by itself.

Here Xueyan is accompanying Daiyu in the house, and seeing her drowsy, she has seen this at a children's house, and only looking at it like this is the scene of death, feeling pain and fear in her heart, wishing that Zijuan would come back soon .Just when she was afraid, she only heard footsteps outside the window, Xueyan knew that it was Zijuan who came back, so she was relieved, stood up quickly, and opened the inner curtain to wait for her.I saw a person coming in at the sound of the curtain outside, but he was a servant.The waiter was sent by Tanchun to see Daiyu. Seeing Xueyan lifting the curtain there, he asked, "how is the girl?"Xueyan nodded and told her to come in.The waiter followed in and saw that Zijuan was not in the room. He looked at Daiyu, who was only panting slightly, and was so surprised that he asked, "Where is sister Zijuan?"Xueyan said: "Tell me to go to the house."

At this time, the snow geese only looked at Daiyu and didn't know anything. Seeing that Zijuan was not in front of her, she quietly took the hand of the servant and asked: "What did you tell me the day before yesterday, Mr. Wang told the second master Bao here?" Darling, is it true?The waiter said: "Why not true!"Xueyan said: How sooner or later will it be decided?The waiter said: "It's settled there!"When I told you that day, I heard Xiaohong say it.Later I went to the second grandma's side, and the second grandma was talking about it with sister Heping, saying that it was all the diners using this matter to please the master, so that they could win over in the future.Don't say that the eldest wife can't say it well, even if the eldest wife is willing to say that the girl is good, the eldest wife can see who she is!Besides, the old lady already has someone in her heart, who is in our garden.The eldest lady can figure it out.The old lady just had to ask because of the master's words.I also heard the second grandma say that the old lady always wants to kiss her as a relative about Baoyu, and it doesn't work anyway.When Xueyan heard this, she also forgot God, because she said: "How do you say this!"You gave our life away in vain!The servant said: "Where does this start?"Xueyan said: You don't know yet!Sister Zijuan and I were the ones talking about it the day before yesterday, and this one got this field after hearing it.The waiter said: "Say it quietly, look carefully and she heard it."Xueyan said: "I've lost my mind about everything. Just look, it's only been a day or two."Just as I was talking, Zijuan lifted the curtain and came in and said: This is not bad!What do you have to say, don't go out and say it, but still say it here!Simply force her to death.The servant said: "I don't believe there is such a miracle."Zijuan said: "Good sister, I didn't say that, you should be annoyed again."What do you know!If you know it, don't pass on these tongues.

The three people here were talking when Daiyu suddenly coughed again.Zijuan hurriedly ran to the edge of the kang and stood there, and the servants and snow geese were silent.Zijuan bent down and asked softly behind Daiyu: Miss, why don't you drink some water?Daiyu slightly agreed.Xueyan quickly poured the white water for half an hour, and Zijuan took it and supported it, and the servant book also came forward.Zicuckoo shook her head with her, but did not ask her to speak, so Shishu had to swallow.After standing for a while, Daiyu coughed again.Zicuckoo took advantage of the situation and asked: Girl, do you want to drink water?Daiyu responded slightly again, she seemed to want to lift her head, but she could lift it there.Zijuan climbed up the kang, climbed beside Daiyu, took water, tried the hot and cold, brought it to her lips, helped Daiyu's head, went to the bowl, and took a sip.When Zijuan was about to take it, Daiyu wanted to take another sip, so Zijuan held the bowl still.Daiyu took another sip, shook her head, stopped drinking, took a breath, and lay down still.Half a day later, he opened his eyes slightly and said, "Didn't you just say something like a servant?"Zicuckoo agreed: Yes.The waiter hadn't left yet, so he hurried over to greet him.Daiyu opened her eyes, looked at it, nodded, took a break again, and said, "Go back and ask your girl how she is."When the waiter saw this scene, he thought Daiyu was annoying, so he had to leave quietly.

It turns out that although Daiyu is seriously ill, she still understands it in her heart.At first, when Shishu and Xueyan spoke, she also vaguely heard half of the sentence, but she just didn't know it, and because she really didn't have the energy to answer it.After listening to the words of Xueyan and Shishu, I realized that the previous matter was discussed but not settled, and the servant said that it was Sister Feng who said that the old lady's idea was to kiss her, and she lived in the garden. Who else?So when I thought about it, the negative yang was born, and my mind suddenly felt much refreshed, so I only drank a couple of sips of water, and wanted to ask Shishu again.It happened that Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan and Sister Feng all rushed to see what Zicuckoo said.The suspicion in Daiyu's heart has been cleared, so naturally she doesn't seem to want to seek death before.Although physically weak and lacking in spirit, he reluctantly agreed to a sentence or two.Sister Feng asked Zijuan because she had called Zijuan, "you can't do this, how can you say that, you are bluffing people like this."Zijuan said: "It's really not good to look in the head, so I dare to tell it. It's strange to see the girl much better when I come back."Jia Mu laughed and said, "Don't blame her, what does she know?"Speak up when she sees something wrong, this is what she understands, as long as children are not lazy.After saying it once, it's okay for Jia's mother to wait, so she went.exactly:

Heart disease must be cured by heart medicine, and the person who unravels the bell is still the one who rings it. Not to mention that Daiyu's illness is gradually subsiding, but also that Xueyan and Zijuan are chanting Buddha behind their backs.Xueyan said to Zijuan: Thanks to her recovery, it's just that the disease is strange, and the recovery is also strange.Zicuckoo said: "It's not strange to be sick, it's strange to have to be sick."Presumably Baoyu and the girl must be married.People say that good things take a long time, and they also say that the marriage is irreversible.It seems that the two of them are a match made in heaven.Besides, you think about that year, when I told Miss Lin that she was going back to the south, Baoyu was not in a hurry, and the family was turned into chaos.Now, in one sentence, this one is turned to death again.Don't you say that the Sansheng Stone was formed hundreds of years ago?As they spoke, the two pursed their lips and smiled quietly.Xueyan said again: "Fortunately, it's cured."Let's not talk about it tomorrow, even if Baoyu married a girl from another family, I saw him get married there, and I would not say a word again.Zicuckoo smiled and said, "That's it."Not only Zijuan and Xueyan were particular about it in private, but everyone knew that Daiyu was also strangely ill, and also strangely well, talking about it in twos and threes.Not long after, even Sister Feng knew about it, and Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were also a little puzzled, but Jia's mother guessed a little bit.

At that time, Xing, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were gossiping in Jiamu's room about Daiyu's illness.Jia Mu said: "I'm just going to tell you that Baoyu and Lin girl have been together since childhood. I only talk about children. What are you afraid of?"From then on, I often heard that Miss Lin was suddenly ill and recovered suddenly, because she had some consciousness.So I think it would be inappropriate for them to keep them together.What do you say?After hearing this, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while, and had to agree: Miss Lin is a scheming child.As for Baoyu, there are people who are dumbfounded and do not avoid suspicion.From the outside, it looks like a child.At this time, if one of them is suddenly separated out of the garden, wouldn't it reveal some traces?There is an old saying: men must marry, and women must marry. Well, the old lady thought, it's just a matter of rushing to get their affairs done.Jia Mu frowned, and said: "Although it is to her benefit that Miss Lin is eccentric, it is also because of this idea that I don't match her with him in my heart."Besides, girl Lin is so weak, she might not have a long life.Only Bao girl is the best.Mrs. Wang said: "Not only the old lady thinks so, but we also think so.But Miss Lin has to tell her about her family, otherwise, when the girl's parents grow up, who has nothing to worry about?If you really have some selfish intentions with Baoyu, if you know that Baoyu has settled down with Baoyu, it will not be a problem.Jia's mother said: "Naturally marry Baoyu first, and then tell Lin girl about others, and then don't be an outsider first and then your own."Besides, Miss Lin is two years younger than Baoyu.According to what you say, if Baoyu is engaged, he should not be allowed to know.Sister Feng told all the girls, "Did you hear that?"If the second master Bao is engaged, don't make noise; if you are talkative, watch her skin!Jia Mu said to Sister Feng again, "Brother Feng, since you are not well now, you don't care much about the affairs of the garden."I tell you, you have to be careful.Not only this, just like those people drinking and playing for money the year before last, it's not a problem.You should be more precise, you must have more snacks, and you should be strict with them.Besides, I think they only obey you.Sister Feng agreed.The girls said something again, and the parties parted ways.

From then on, Sister Feng often went to the garden to take care of her.One day, as soon as I walked into the Grand View Garden and arrived at the bank of Zilingzhou, I only heard an old woman shouting there.When Sister Feng came to the front, the woman saw it. She had already stood with her hands down and greeted her.Sister Feng said, "What are you doing here?"The mother-in-law said: "Grandma Meng sent me here to guard the flowers and fruits, and I did nothing wrong. Unexpectedly, Miss Xing's girl said we were thieves."Sister Feng said, "Why?"The mother-in-law said: "Yesterday our Hei'er followed me here to play. She didn't know, so she went to Miss Xing to have a look, and I told her to go back."I got up early today and heard their girls say that they lost something.I asked her what she had lost, and she asked about me.Sister Feng said, "I don't need to be angry if I ask you."The mother-in-law said: This garden belongs to grandma's house, not theirs.We are all sent by grandma, how dare you recognize the names of thieves?Sister Feng spat on her face and said sharply, "Stop nagging me in front of me!"You are here to take care of it, and the girl lost something, so you should ask, how do you say these nonsensical words!Call Lao Lin and kick her out!The girls agreed.

I saw Xing Xiuyan come out in a hurry, greeted Sister Feng with a smile and said, "It can't be done, there's nothing, it's over long ago."Sister Feng said, "Girl, that's not the case."Don't talk about things, this title is too unreasonable!Xiuyan saw her mother-in-law kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, so she hurriedly asked Sister Feng to sit inside.Sister Feng said: "I know people like them. Except for me, she has no one else.Xiuyan repeatedly begged for her mercy, only saying that her girl was not good.Sister Feng said: "For the sake of Miss Xing, please forgive me this time."The mother-in-law just got up, kowtowed to Xiuyan, and then went out.

Here the two gave up their seats.Sister Feng asked with a smile: "What did you lose?"Xiuyan smiled and said: "It's nothing important, it's just a little red jacket, it's already old.I told them to look for it, but if they can't find it, let it be.This little girl is ignorant, so she asked the old woman, and the old woman naturally refused to follow her.This is all because the little girl is confused and ignorant. I also scolded a few times, but it is over, so there is no need to mention it.Sister Feng looked inside and outside Xiuyan, and saw that although there were some leather clothes, they were half-new and not old, so they might not be warm; most of her quilts were thin.As for the things on the table in the room, they were brought by the old lady, but some of them didn't move, they were neatly tidied up.Sister Feng loved and respected her very much in her heart, and said, "A piece of clothing doesn't matter. It's cold at this time, and it's close to the body. Why don't you ask?"This savage slave is amazing!After talking for a while, Sister Feng came out, sat around for a while, and then went back.When he arrived at his room, he asked Ping'er to take a small red crepe jacket, a small leather jacket with pine and flower-colored silk and a bucket of pearls, a royal blue brocade skirt with flowers inlaid with it, and a Buddha green and silver mouse jacket. So that someone can send it.

At that time, Xiuyan was made a lot of noise by the old lady, even though Sister Feng came to suppress her, she still felt uneasy.Thinking of many sisters here, none of the servants dared to offend her. I am here alone.After much deliberation, it was ultimately boring and unable to speak out.I was swallowing my tears when I saw Feng'er from Sister Feng's side bringing clothes.Xiuyan saw it, but refused to accept it.Feng'er said: "Grandma told me that if the girl thinks it's old clothes, she will bring new ones in the future."Xiuyan thanked her with a smile: "Thanks to grandma's kindness, but because I lost my clothes, she brought them, I dare not accept it."You take it back, thank you grandma!Thanks to your grandma, I will take it.He took a purse and gave it to Feng'er.That Feng'er had to take it. Not long after, Ping'er and Feng'er came over again. Xiuyan hurriedly greeted him and gave up his seat.Ping'er said with a smile: "Our grandma said that the girl is very heretical."Xiu Yandao: It's not an outsider, it's really unsatisfactory.Ping'er said: "Grandma said, if the girl doesn't accept this dress, either she thinks it is too old or looks down on our grandma."As I said just now, I want to take it back, but grandma doesn't obey me.Xiuyan blushed and thanked with a smile, "I said so, so I dare not refuse."Made tea again. When Ping'er and Feng'er go back, they will go to Sister Feng's side. They meet an old woman sent by Xue's family, and then say hello.Ping'er then asked, "Where did you come from?"The mother-in-law said: "The wives and girls over there asked me to greet all the wives, grandmas and girls."I just asked about the girl in front of grandma, and said that the girl has gone to the garden.But is it from Miss Xing?Ping'er said: "How do you know?"The mother-in-law said: "I just heard it."Really, the behavior of the second grandmother and the girls is very touching.Ping'er smiled and said, "Come back and sit down."The mother-in-law said, "I still have something to do. Come and see the girl some other day."Said and left.Ping'er came back and replied to Sister Feng.No problem. Let's say that Aunt Xue's house was turned upside down by Jingui. When she saw the mother-in-law come back and tell about Xiuyan, Baochai's mother and daughter couldn't help but shed tears.Baochai said: "It's all because my brother is not at home, so I asked Miss Xing to suffer for a few more days."Now it's not bad for Sister Feng.We also have to pay attention to the bottom, after all, they are our family members.As he said that, Xue Biao came in and said: "What kind of people have you met outside these few years, big brother!"There wasn't even a single serious one, and all of them were gangsters.I think they are not at ease there, but they will find out the news in the future.I have been kicked out for two days.Later, he ordered the door not to allow such people to come in.Aunt Xue said: "Where are Jiang Yuhan and those people again?"Xue Biao said: Jiang Yuhan didn't come, but someone else.Aunt Xue became sad again after hearing Xue Biao's words, and said: "Although I have a son, it seems like I don't have any now."Even if the boss agrees, he is also a waste person.Although you are my nephew, I think you understand better than your brother. I will depend on you for the rest of my life.You yourself have to learn better from now on.Furthermore, the daughter-in-law you hired is no better than before.It is not easy for a girl to go out, and she has no other thoughts, but only hopes that her son-in-law will be capable, and he will have a good time.Ruoxing girl pointed her hand in like this thing, and said: I won't say anything.Xing girl is really a shameless and scheming person, and she can keep the poor and endure the rich.It's just that when our business is over and your serious business is over earlier, it's also on my mind.Xue Biao said: "Sister Qin hasn't left the house yet. This is something that bothers my wife."As for this, what is it!Everyone wentssip again. Xue Biao went back to his room, had dinner, and remembered that Xing Xiuyan lived in the garden of Jia's mansion, and finally lived under the fence of others.Kuang Jian came together all the way back then, so he knew his appearance and personality.It can be seen that God's will is uneven: people like Xia Jingui teach her to be rich and pampered so aggressively; people like Xing Xiuyan teach him to suffer like this.When Hades judges, he doesn't know how to judge.Thinking of boredom, I also want to chant a poem and write it out to express the depression in my chest.I also had no time to spare, so I had to write in confusion: The dragon loses water like a dry fish, and the feelings of the two places live alone. I have suffered so much in the mud, I don't know when I will be clear!After finishing writing, I read it once, intending to stick it on the wall, but I was embarrassed.He muttered to himself: Don't be seen as a joke.Read it again, and said: "Whatever he is, just stick to yourself and watch it to relieve boredom."I read it again, and it was not good, so I took it and put it in the book.I thought again: I am not too young, and my family encountered such sudden and unexpected disasters, and I don't know when it will end, resulting in the weakness of the boudoir, making it so desolate and lonely. While thinking there, Baochan opened the door and came in, holding a box and putting it on the table with a smile.Xue Biao stood up and offered to sit down.Baochan smiled and said to Xue Biao: "This is four dishes of fruit and a small pot of wine. Grandma ordered them to be sent to the second master."Xue Tada laughed and said: Grandma, don't worry!But just ask the little girls to deliver it, so why bother my sister?Baochan said, "It's easy to say."My own family, why does Second Master say such clichés; moreover, this matter of our uncle really worries Second Master. Grandma has wanted to do something herself to thank Second Master for a long time, but she is afraid that others will care too much.The second master knows that our family is always in disagreement, so it doesn't matter if you give something, but it's not so particular about making people gossip.So today I got a little bit of fruit and a jug of wine, and asked me to deliver them quietly myself.Saying that, he glanced at Xue Biao again with a smile, and said, "Second Lord, don't say these things again tomorrow, it will be embarrassing to listen to."We are just people at the bottom, if we serve the uncle, we will serve the second master, so why not! Xue Biao is loyal on the one hand, and young on the other, but he has never seen Jingui and Baochan treat each other like this, and it makes sense to think of what Baochan said about Xue Pan just now, because he said: Keep the fruit, this wine, My sister just takes it back.I've always had a very limited drink, and I'm so crowded that I can drink for a minute occasionally, and I can't drink it on weekdays when I have nothing to do.Don't grandma and sister know?Baochan said: "I am the master of other things, but this is the only thing I dare not answer."The second master knows about grandma's temper, so I take it back, not to say that the second master doesn't drink, but to say that I don't do my best.Xue scorpion had no choice but to stay.Just as Baochan was about to leave, he went to the door to look out again, turned his head and smiled at Xue Biao, then pointed to the inside and said: "She is only afraid that she will come to tell you that you are tired in person!"Xue Biao didn't know what he meant, but instead got up in a daze, because he said: "Sister, please thank grandma for me."It's cold, look cool.Furthermore, my uncle and sister-in-law don't have to stick to these rituals.Baochan didn't answer, just left with a smile. At first Xue Biao thought that Jingui was Xue Pan's business, or he was really dissatisfied, and it was too late to prepare this wine and fruit for himself.And when I saw Baochan's furtive and unembarrassing scene, I also felt a little bit.But I thought to myself: After all, she is a sister-in-law, so there are other things to pay attention to!Or maybe Baochan is immature, and he is embarrassed about what to do, but he points to Jingui's name, which is unknown.However, it's not good to be the person in the elder brother's house. Suddenly he changed his mind: that Jingui has no boudoir principles by nature, and sometimes he is happy, and he dresses up very flirtatiously. heart?Otherwise, there is something wrong with her and Sister Qin, so this poisonous method was set up to drag me into the muddy water and give me an unclear name.Thinking of this, I simply became afraid.When he was having a hard time making up his mind, he suddenly heard a chuckle outside the window, which made Xue Biao jump.I don't know who it is, I will break it down next time.
