Chapter 413 The Palpitating Mrs. Wang

In the study

After noon, the spring was late, and behind a mahogany desk, Jia Heng, dressed in a bamboo-patterned Su-brocade gown, with a wooden hairpin in his bun, was unpacking Lin Ruhai’s letter from Yangzhou and reading it intently.

Tanchun was on the side table facing the copybook, concentrating on it.

The girl wears a satin round-neck satin girdle with vermilion, pink and white borders on a pink base woven with gold and chrysanthemum patterns, a white cross-collar jacket on top, and a horse-faced skirt embroidered with cinnabar branches and flowers. This dress is more heroic than in the past Sa Ran's capable demeanor is a little more gentle and suave than a lady's.

However, when Tanchun occasionally dipped in the ink, he still couldn't help but glance sideways at the young man who was reading the letter. Under Chunshan's black eyebrows, his pupils were shining brightly, reflecting the dusty and quiet outline, and a sense of peace surged in his heart.

"My lord, the eldest girl is here." At this moment, Qingwen hurried into the wing and said in a low voice.

Jia Heng put down the letter paper, looked up, and saw a figure in a light yellow skirt flashing behind the screen.

Yuan Chun's eyebrows were slightly frowned, her beautiful eyes were drooping, and there was a look of melancholy on her face that used to be as beautiful as a moth moon.

"Big sister, why come to my place when you have time?" Jia Heng asked.

Tanchun also put down his pen, looked at Yuanchun, called "Big Sister", and walked away.

Yuan Chun sighed softly, met two concerned gazes, his cherry lips moved, and called "Brother Heng, Third Sister", but for a moment he didn't know where to start.

"This..." Jia Heng glanced at Tanchun, wondering, "What happened?"

Instead, Xiren next to him answered, "Uncle Hui Heng, Second Master was playing with Jin Chuan'er in the house. By coincidence, his wife saw it when he came back. He got angry and slapped her. And kicked out Jin Chuaner."

After all, she used to be a maid in Baoyu's room, and seeing Jin Chuan being kicked out, she felt a little bit unbearable.

And Jin Chuan, Yuanyang, and Xiren almost grew up together, and they also have feelings to some extent.

Playfulness, this is a neutral vocabulary with high EQ, which not only objectively describes a certain mood, but also does not make it too romantic.

It has to be said that Xiren's thoughts are meticulous and his words are precise.

Qingwen Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, and suddenly asked, "Who did you slap?"

she or he?

This is... unknown.

Attacker: "???"

Who else can I hit?Of course it's Jin Chuan.

Jia Heng frowned and asked, "What about Jin Chuan now?"

Lie Jin Chuan threw himself into the well with humiliation. In the original book, Baoyu was quite cowardly. After teasing Jin Chuan, he turned around and ran away as if nothing happened. A heart-warming gesture caused the attacker to vomit blood.

The original book describes it like this: "Xi Ren thinks of the young man vomiting blood, and his life will not be guaranteed. Even if his life is long and he will be a cripple in the end, he doesn't feel that his heart of fighting for glory and boasting in the past is all ashamed, and he doesn't feel tears in his eyes."

Before and after, Baoyu almost interpreted the eight characters of "no responsibility, weak personality" vividly, which can be described as full of ugliness.

As for Jin Chuan's throwing into the well, Mrs. Wang's attempt to cover up her statement, and even Baochai's statement...

Yuan Chun sat on the embroidered pier at the side, with one arm resting on the small table to support his chin, his eyes lost his focus, and he sighed: "At this moment, she is being led back by her mother, Nanny Bai."

Jia Heng's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "Where's Baoyu?"

Yuan Chunyu looked sad, opened her mouth, and said, "Baoyu knows that she has caused trouble, and now she doesn't know where to hide."

In the end, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he even glanced at Jia Heng's face with some concern.

But Jia Heng couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, and said: "Jin Chuan'er has served his wife for more than ten years, and her reputation is not good when she is pushed out like this. Brew lives."

Hearing this, Yuan Chun didn't care whether Baoyu would be scolded, his face changed suddenly, and he said, "What does Brother Heng mean?"

Jia Heng didn't say much, but looked at Xi Ren, and ordered: "Xi Ren, you grew up with Jin Chuan, you should know where Jin Chuan's family is?"

Xiren suddenly heard that Uncle Heng called his name, his body was shaken, he quickly pecked at the rice and said: "Master, I know."

Jia Heng said: "Call a few nuns to Jin Chuan's house to see if she is at home. Qingwen, call a few nuns to watch by the well in the backyard of Rong Mansion."

Hearing this, Xiren said in a trembling voice, "Master, I'm going right away."

Jia Heng said, "Go ahead."

Qingwen also got up at this time and followed the attackers.

With eagerness on Yuan Chun's face, he pulled Jia Heng's arm and said in a pleading voice: "Brother Heng, if this really kills people, their lives are at stake, or... let's go to the backyard too. look?"

It is because of Jin Chuan, and also because of Baoyu, if he molested the maidservant, and then forced the maidservant to commit suicide, it is spread...it is hard to say.

Jia Heng reassured: "Eldest sister, don't worry too much."

Tanchun said softly: "Brother Heng, let's go and have a look together."

Several people were walking on the corridor, Yuan Chun sighed and said, "Brother Heng, I don't even know why Baoyu has become like this all these years?"

After all, he taught Baoyu to read and write since he was a child, and he loves his mother and child. Yuan Chun is really heartbroken and heartbroken at the moment.

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, and said: "It's too old, and I know some things about men and women."

When Yuan Chun heard the words, his face froze, and he didn't know how to answer the words.

Tanchun, who was walking together, heard the words, and remembered something, his bright eyes moved, seeing a hint of shyness, and a blush appeared on his white and pretty face.

Jia Heng was silent for a moment, then said: "It's just this matter, Baoyu's fault is not here."

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Chun's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he felt a bad premonition, and murmured: "Brother Heng."

"Let's see what happens." Jia Heng said in a low voice.

But on Mrs. Wang's side, after Mrs. Wang slapped Jin Chuan, she still felt her anger lingering. She sat alone in the room and sulked. He took the maid and mother-in-law to Lixiangyuan, intending to find Aunt Xue to talk and relax.

Rikain

In the wing room, Aunt Xue was looking at the account books, with an abacus in her hands from time to time, her rich and rich face was not smiling like before, and she was a little more serious.

On the east side, under a round window, on one side of the kang, a girl wearing a close-fitting padded jacket, covered with a rose-purple two-color silver mouse shoulder to shoulder, and wearing a light yellow damask cotton skirt sat sideways on the kang table, her head slightly slightly Low, doing needlework.

Bamboo baskets are placed on the square kang table, inside which are hoops of various colors and silk.

Xu Shi had just finished embroidery, when Baochai put a red thread on her right hand and put it through the pinhole in her hand. She didn't wear it for a while, picked up the end of the thread and moistened it in her lips. This action gave the girl a bit of a gentle, intellectual, and IKEA charm.

Ying'er approached and said, "Ma'am, girl, it's time to eat."

Aunt Xue stopped dialing the abacus, rubbed her sore wrist, and said with a smile, "Dear girl, it's time for dinner."

"Hey." Baochai responded, pinned the embroidery needle to the silk, put it in the bamboo basket, took the tea from Yinger, and took a sip.

At this moment, a nanny came into the room and said, "Madam is here."

Not long after, Mrs. Wang stepped into the house.

"Sister, why come to my place when you are free?" Aunt Xue stood up with a smile and greeted her.

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Sister, I just came from my brother's side, so I came to see you and Pan'er."

As he spoke, he glanced at Baochai at the side, his eyes flickered, and a thought flashed in his mind.

Baoyu is indeed getting old. If it doesn't work out, it's good to make a marriage for him first.

Because Mrs. Wang asked Yuan Chun to take aim at Princess Qinghe before, but after Jia Heng declined, Yuan Chun's attitude was revealed after returning, and Mrs. Wang calmed down and cheered up.

Here, Baochai also got up and greeted Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang sat down, smiled and agreed, and looked at Baochai. Seeing that she was beautiful and elegant, she felt more satisfied. She asked with a smile, "What is Baochai embroidering on?"

Baochai smiled and said, "I have embroidered a few sachets, but I have nothing to do at home."

Mrs. Wang nodded her head and said in praise: "Bao girl is very ingenious."

Just at noon, Mrs. Wang sat down and had lunch with Aunt Xue.

"I don't know about that matter, how are you and Bao girl thinking?" After lunch, Mrs. Wang took a sip of the fragrant tea and asked.

Baochai's jade face changed slightly, panic flashed across her apricot eyes, and she immediately looked at her mother.

Aunt Xue sighed softly and said, "Sister, I'd be happy to kiss you more, but Wenlong hasn't settled down for three years. It's not appropriate to think about it in such a hurry." stop."

Speaking of it, it was Xue Pan's idle work that shook Aunt Xue's mind.

Otherwise, at this time, the scandal of the golden and jade marriage has already been arranged.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, the smile on her face froze, she put down the teacup, and sighed softly: "That's right, Wenlong suffered such a disaster again, but it's just that these three years can't be dragged on forever. The girl is... not too young."

Aunt Xue was also a little bit tangled for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's okay to wait another year or two, it's not about letting the younger generation get along first."

Mrs. Wang felt a little unhappy when she heard this, but she still endured it.

Baochai listened quietly, with her head hanging down, and it was not easy to intervene.

On the other side, it is said that after Jin Chuan went back, his mother, Bai Shihao, scolded and complained all the time, and she said that Jin Chuan was tearful and grief-stricken.

Mrs. Bai didn't stay for long, not long after noon, she was summoned by a woman to serve at Rongguo Mansion.

Jin Chuan lay straight on the bed, the tears on his cheeks flowed silently, soaking the pillow, unconsciously, after noon, he didn't feel hungry at all, he got up like a ghost, stood up Under the eaves of the corridor, looking at the high eaves and walls of the 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 mansion!

Thinking like this, he headed towards Rongguo Mansion from the East Corner Gate.

It was noon at this moment, some masters and servants in Rongguo Mansion were having lunch, and some were having wine everywhere.

Jin Chuan was already very familiar with the terrain of Rongfu, so he came to the southeast corner by car. This was where the back kitchen was. Under a cypress tree, he saw a well. Round mouth, dark, wet, bottomless.

Jin Chuan's face was desolate, lost his mind, and while walking towards the well, tears flowed silently. He stood close to the well for a while, closed his eyes, and was about to step over a leg.

Suddenly he heard a deep voice, "Jin Chuan, stop."

Jin Chuan's figure was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw a young man in the corridor in the distance with cold eyes, but at this moment, several nuns and maidservants walked up quickly and pressed Jin Chuan's arm.

It turned out that earlier, Jia Heng asked Xiren and Qingwen to go to Jin Chuan's house alone. They happened not to meet Jin Chuan, so they hurried back to report. In the back kitchen, he brought Yuan Chun and Tan Chun over to look for Jin Chuan'er, and blocked them.

Jia Heng frowned, looking at the teary-eyed girl.

Yuan Chun, who was at the side, looked pale, and murmured, "Brother Heng..."

It was almost close, if she was one step late, if Jin Chuan'er was thrown into the well, she would feel uneasy.

Tanchun also frowned, with an unbelievable look on his face.

It's so strong!

All of a sudden, there was a big commotion. The women who were eating in the back kitchen, heard the words, all went out of the wing room, surrounded a large area, and watched the excitement.

At this time, Jin Chuan'er was also pulled away from the well by several nuns, and she sat down on the ground, hugging her knees with her hands, buried her face in the crook of her legs, and began to cry bitterly.

At this time, Qingwen stepped forward, mourning her misfortune, angry at her indisputable appearance, and said angrily: "How temperamental you are, my wife drove you away, just leave, and Bao Erye flirted with you, but it happened to be you Is the crime of jumping into a well cleansed?"

coax……

The truth of the incident, which had been kept secret at first, exploded into a cloud of mist in an instant amidst the hot-tempered Qingwen scolding.

At this time, Yuan Chun, as if struck by lightning, stared at Jia Heng who was beside him, his snow-skinned and beautiful face was already filled with prayers.

Jia Heng sighed: "Big sister, this is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk more."

He will not whitewash Baoyu, and Baoyu, to be honest, has a reputation in the Ningrong Second Mansion...that is obvious to all.

Taking a deep look at Qingwen again, she looked at the girl in the emerald skirt with slashed shoulders and snake waist, her willow eyebrows stood on end.

Qingwen, who is the shadow of Daiyu, is really born to overcome Mrs. Wang.

In the original book, Mrs. Wang whitewashed Jin Chuan's jumping into the well like this: "It turned out that she broke one of my things the day before yesterday. I was angry, hit her twice, and threw her down... Isn't it mine?" guilt?"

Baochai's reaction later on... is hard to describe.

Jia Heng looked at Jin Chuan, who had already cried and had teary eyes, with a silent expression.

If it is said that Qing is Daiying and Xi is the deputy of Chai, then there is another pair of borrowing shadows.

Xiaohong and Daiyu, Jin Chuaner and Baochai.

Jia Heng suppressed his thoughts and asked, "What's the matter, is it worth looking for life and death?"

Hearing the voice next to his ears, Jin Chuan seemed to have a peaceful force, raised his tear-filled eyes, looked at the young man, and called, "Master Heng."

At this time, Yuan Chun bent down, with pity on his face, and while supporting Jin Chuan'er, he said: "Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, my wife is just angry for a while, it's worth jumping into the well anyway, big deal, I Pleading with my wife to let you come to my side is definitely not worth it."

At this time, Xiren also pulled Jin Chuan'er up, and persuaded: "My good sister, it's really not worth going on a dead end."

It's not without a bit of embarrassment in my heart, if she encounters this scene...

Jin Chuan was persuaded by several people, and his emotions gradually calmed down, but he kept crying.

Let’s talk about Rikain again——

Mrs. Wang was sitting and talking with Aunt Xue, when suddenly, a woman came from outside, with a look of panic on her face, out of breath, said: "Madam, it's not good, Jin Chuan has thrown himself into the well."

"Ah!" Mrs. Wang suddenly heard this, her complexion changed suddenly, she stood up suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, she threw all the Buddhist beads in her hand, fell on the ground, rolled a few times, and made a "click" sound.

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked, "Sister, what happened?"

Baochai also narrowed her dewy almond eyes, looked at Mrs. Wang, and asked questions.

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly: "Jin Chuan just broke something of mine. I hit her. I thought I would let her come back in two days. I never thought she would be so angry."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Madam, now it is rumored in the house that the second master molested Jin Chuan'er, Jin Chuan'er was unwilling to be humiliated, and threw himself into the well."

Mrs. Wang: "!!!"

Aunt Xue: "???"

Baochai:"……"

Mrs. Wang's eyes were dark at this moment, and she almost couldn't stand still, and Aunt Xue who was beside her hurriedly supported her.

This teasing...

Mrs. Wang only felt her hands and feet were cold, and she shuddered, and if it was spread out that she molested her mother and maidservant, her Baoyu's reputation would be ruined!

Aunt Xue's expression on the side was shocked and puzzled, but she immediately thought about it. This happens to everyone in a big family, but jumping into a well is too unreal.

Baochai squeezed the handkerchief, Yurong was stunned, but she didn't know what it was like.

Such a person, she is lucky that she didn't...listen to her mother in the first place.

Thinking about it like this, the lake in my heart couldn't help but reflect that figure, and the... tenderness and carelessness from that day seemed to remain on my lips.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was 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 absolutely cannot admit it.

"Where's Jin Chuan, has the body been recovered?" Mrs. Wang asked anxiously after realizing it.

The woman said: "Uncle Heng and Miss, rescued him in time. I heard that Jin Chuan'er was jumping into the kitchen well in the backyard when they passed by."

At the end, the woman also had a look of horror on her face.

Madam Wang froze on the spot for an instant, with a look of fear on her face.

If she jumped into the well for eating, she would have nightmares every night.

With this thought, I subconsciously pinched the Buddhist beads, but found that my hand was empty, and quickly recited the Buddha's name in my heart, and then suppressed the palpitations.

Aunt Xue comforted: "Sister, luckily no one was killed."

She also experienced Xue Pan's life lawsuit. Even Aunt Xue is a bit in awe of human life at the moment, and she can no longer say such stupid words as "call someone to come and sell Xiangling".

Baochai listened to Jia Heng and Yuan Chun both present at the side, her almond eyes sparkled slightly, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

With him here, nothing should happen.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth secretly, and said, "Look."

She must not allow rumors to spread in the east and west, or her family Baoyu will be ruined.

However, at this moment, as the servants broke their mouths, Baoyu molested his mother and maidservant and forced her to jump into the well, as if she had grown legs, it began to spread in Jia's mansion.
