Chapter 752 Only one day left until perfect attendance

After the beating, Xue Baochai's eyes widened and he said angrily: "What on earth did my family offend you to deserve such harm from you? This marriage is a gift from the emperor, how can it be changed at will in private?!"

After hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly shook his head and defended: "Sister misunderstood, I never meant this! I thought that if my sister took the initiative to divorce me, I would be able to preserve my reputation, so..."

"Bah~"

Xue Baochai spat hard, gritted his teeth and said, "Fame?! Thanks to the Second Master, I have already become a laughing stock with a good reputation!"

With that said, he turned around and went back into the house, slamming the door behind him.

It turns out that Sister Bao also has the look of a angry-eyed King Kong.

Jia Baoyu covered his face and was stunned for a long time, and finally left in despair.

Because of this, he would rather go back and accept family law than stay in the Xue family, so he ignored She Yue's persuasion and insisted on leading the team back to Rongguo Mansion.

Unexpectedly, after returning without success, Mrs. Wang just sighed and was not punished. Jia Baoyu felt that he had escaped the disaster and was secretly happy. However, he did not notice that Mrs. Wang paid less attention to Yihongyuan from then on, and instead often ignored Li Wan.

Called to the Qingtang thatched cottage to show concern for Jia Lan's academic status.

Of course, even if he noticed these things, Jia Baoyu would probably not take them to heart. Instead, he would be happy to be quiet and at ease.

Time passed like this day by day, and it was already the end of the month.

During this period, Mrs. Wang sent people to pick up Baochai several times, but Aunt Xue refused with various reasons. Just when she was anxious and ready to go in person, the old lady's condition suddenly took a turn for the worse.

With this excuse, Aunt Xue returned to Rongguo Mansion with Baochai. However, except for guarding the old lady at the sick bed every day, Baochai almost became a taciturn and sullen gourd.

This kind of behavior is completely different from her original all-round and exquisite image. I don't know how many people lamented this, but it also caused Baoyu's popularity among the maids to plummet.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was gloomy and we saw another snowfall.

Wang Xifeng walked into the old lady's room wrapped in a white fox fur coat. She raised her hand to untie the tie around her neck and stamped her feet: "This damn weather is really going to freeze people to death!"

Baoyu, who was sitting awkwardly across from Xue Baochai, saw this and hurriedly stood up and gave his hand stove over, smiling: "It's probably going to snow. My sister has two bodies, so she is naturally more afraid of the cold than the others."

"I'm not only afraid of the cold, I'm also afraid of the heat."

Wang Xifeng complained, stroking her bulging belly with both hands, but her face was full of faint joy. Since she showed her pregnancy, she has visited several doctors, and they all said that she would be able to get a man at once.

She turned her head to look at Xue Baochai, who stood up and called "Sister Feng", but said nothing more. Then she looked at Baoyu, who was smiling awkwardly. She couldn't help but shook her head and said, "If I had known that there were only two of you in the room, I wouldn't have come.

.”

Baoyu smiled and did not dare to answer the question, but asked: "How about the Muni courtyard? Don't freeze the second sister."

"Don't worry."

When she asked about Yingchun, Wang Xifeng said with a hint of ridicule: "Your second sister is doing well. The warmth in her heart every day is much better than mine."

This is really strange. I have only heard that it makes my heart feel cold, but how come it still makes my heart feel warm?

Baoyu was about to ask a question when he suddenly saw Tanchun hurriedly coming in from the outside and said in a loud voice: "Get ready. Someone is coming from the palace. I might as well come to see the old lady!"

As he said that, he looked at Jia Mu who was unconscious on the bed and sighed secretly.

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. This time, Yuanchun was the first group to leave the palace to visit relatives, just to see the old lady one last time. Therefore, after the old lady became critically ill, in order to hold on to this last breath, the family really didn't seek the best but the most expensive.

In just a few days, I spent several thousand taels just buying medicinal materials.

Coupled with the cost of inviting several famous doctors to stay at home, I'm afraid it will cost another two to thirty thousand taels of silver.

Alas~

Before I even thought about how to make up for the debt, there was another small hole!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Xue Baochai. Originally, she could count on the Xue family to help with this matter, but now...

No matter how shameless I am, I'm afraid I won't be able to open my mouth!

But he said that everyone had packed up the house and was waiting for the "angel" to come to visit the old lady. Then he received another news, saying that Uncle Jiao saw that the weather was not good and was afraid that the road would be icy, snowy and muddy in the next few days, so he took leave to prepare.

Send Miss Shi over first.

Wang Xifeng was listening and couldn't help but said bitterly: "We are all twins, why am I so miserable?"

It was too early for her to feel sour. After the eunuch who was ordered to check on the preparations had visited Jia Mu, he specifically told her that when the empress saw the lady on the list who was involved with Jiao Zhan, she knew that she was now a twin, so she repeatedly told Jiao Zhan to leave.

Madam, there is no need to go out to greet her. Once all these complicated matters are over, it will not be too late for the two sisters to say goodbye.

Not only did Wang Xifeng feel sour about this unique treatment, but Xue Baochai and Jia Tanchun were also touched.

When he heard that Xiangyun was coming, Baoyu, who couldn't sit still, immediately said, "Then I'll go out and wait to welcome him."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

Wang Xifeng said hurriedly: "Maybe when will we arrive? It's freezing outside. If you go and wait now, won't you suffer in vain?"

"It doesn't matter."

Baoyu waved his hand: "I'm just going to get some air."

With that said, he opened the door and walked away in a hurry.

Xue Baochai naturally understood that he wanted to avoid her. This was actually what Baochai had expected. But what Baochai didn't expect was that Mrs. Wang's attitude had also changed. It had been two or three days since she came back, and she turned out to be...

He never tried to reconcile himself with Yu Baoyu again.

If the mother-in-law is like this, the people below will naturally not add any unnecessary extravagance.

Therefore, Baochai had a rare moment of leisure these days.

However, she would not be happy about this, because it clearly meant that Mrs. Wang had given up on herself, and even...even changed her attitude towards Baoyu. Instead, Li Wan, Jia Lan, mother and son became frequent visitors to Qingtang thatched cottage.

Because of this, no one mentioned the matter of letting Baochai take charge of the family.

With this, her last reason for marrying into the Rongguo Mansion seemed to no longer exist.

Now, although she bears the title of the second mistress of Rongguo Mansion, she seems to have become a translucent outsider.

Let’s talk about Baoyu.

Because he thought the concierge was arrogant, he simply got into the carriage with the stove in hand, and fell asleep in a daze.

He was pushed awake by his attacker. He rubbed his eyes and sat up, asking, "What time is it? Why is the room so dark?"

"This is nowhere in the house. Is the second master sleepy?"

As Xiren said this, he lifted up the car curtain, and the cold wind immediately rushed in carrying snowflakes.

"It's snowing?!"

Jia Baoyu immediately became energetic, lifted up the leather mattress on his body, and quickly got out of the carriage, only to find that the snow had just started to fall, and the ground was not even covered at all.

Just as she was disappointed, She Yue reminded her from the side: "How come the second master forgot about business? Aren't you here to greet Uncle Jiao?"

Baoyu just woke up from a dream, slapped his forehead and got out of the car, then turned back to help the attacker.

The attacker jumped down from the other side silently.

Baoyu retracted his hand in a sullen voice, feeling more and more that his life was boring and boring.

He walked out the door dejectedly. It wasn't until he saw the Jiao family's carriage slowly approaching that he cheered up a little.

When the carriage stopped, Si Qi quickly jumped down and set the steps, and then Jiao Shun helped Shi Xiangyun out.

Shi Xiangyun was holding a box in his hand. When he saw Baoyu, he smiled brightly and said: "I've been bored to death for a while. It's so easy to come here. Let's have a table of cards in the afternoon!"

After saying that, he raised the box towards Baoyu and said proudly: "In addition to the original characters of the Three Kingdoms, I also specially included a few of us - our wife only allowed me to draw for half an hour every day, and I went back and forth.

It took more than a month to complete the embroidery."

Seeing that despite her big belly, Jia Baoyu still maintained her lively and lively nature, Jia Baoyu was relieved, but she couldn't help but secretly lamented that among the sisters and brothers, it was Sister Yun who could stick to her true heart the most.

If only I had known this...

When he was having delusional thoughts, he didn't want to think about who was responsible for the change of Sister Lin and Sister Bao.

At this time, Siqi helped another person out of the car, but it was the female doctor who always covered her face with a gauze scarf when she came back.

Thinking of the trouble he made when he saw her for the first time, Baoyu subconsciously took a second look, but was grabbed by Jiao Shun and said with a smile: "It's rare that I asked for leave today, brother Bao wants to accompany me tonight

Eat a few more cups.”

After saying that, he glanced at Shi Xiangyun and changed his words: "Let's wait until the cards are played."

Just talking and laughing, we entered the house, met Jia Zheng first, then met Mrs. Wang, and then went to the old lady's courtyard to visit.

Seeing that the old lady had disappeared for more than a month, Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but shed tears on the spot. Jiao Shun and everyone around him tried their best to persuade her to stop.

For fear of having fetal motility, no one dared to let her guard the old lady anymore, and led them directly to the guest house that had been prepared for a while to rest.

Wang Xifeng saw that Xiang Yun was held in high esteem by the stars, but that her 'old man' and Xue Baochai, her 'new man', had fallen out of favor. She couldn't help but secretly cursed the harshness of the world - but she thought about the same feeling in her stomach, so she paused for a moment.

Calm down the mood.

Xiangyun's usual mood went away as quickly as it came, and within half an hour he sent someone to invite him again, saying that the card game had been set up and he was just waiting for the heroes from all walks of life to enter.

Tanchun and Baoyu started making noises, and everyone turned to Shi Xiangyun's guest house. Only Xue Baochai insisted that he would guard the old lady and refused to leave easily. Everyone saw that they could not persuade her, so they had to give up.

When only Baochai and the maid were left in the room, she looked at the dying old lady on the bed, and she felt some sympathy for her inexplicably - but she also knew in her heart that according to the current development of the situation, her final fate might not be the same.

One-tenth of the old lady's.

Just as she was feeling sad, she suddenly saw Doctor Su and Si Qi walking in with Yuanyang. She subconsciously stood up and looked at the other party, not knowing what to say.

Now, she naturally knew that this 'Doctor Su' was Sister Lin pretending to be, but what she couldn't figure out was why Sister Lin would risk her reputation and ruin her reputation by visiting the old lady again and again.

Why are Brother Jiao and Xiangyun willing to indulge her so much?

You know, the old lady had taken the initiative to pay her dowry and coaxed her for so many years. No matter how good the relationship was, it should have faded away after knowing this.

Sister Pian Lin is still...

At this time, Lin Daiyu nodded slightly at her, and then came to the old lady. It seemed that she was looking at her and asking questions, but in fact, her eyes were filled with tears and she was speechless. The reason why she waited until this moment to come in was because she was afraid that her emotions would be leaked.

Xue Baochai hurriedly excused the turbid atmosphere in the room, which was not conducive to diagnosis and treatment, and sent everyone out to prevent Lin Daiyu from being exposed.

"Thank you sister."

Only then did Lin Daiyu turn her head and speak.

Hearing her deep voice, Xue Baochai couldn't help but asked curiously: "What is your voice?"

"There is cotton stuffed in the mouth."

As she spoke, Lin Daiyu lifted her veil and opened her mouth wide, letting Xue Baochai check.

Xue Baochai was amazed, but at the same time he felt that Daiyu's small cherry mouth seemed bigger than before.

Um……

Or maybe it's opened more roundly.

Then the two of them fell into an awkward silence. In the past, although they were tit-for-tat, they had a lot of topics to talk about. Even recently, they often discussed the plot of "Farewell My Concubine" in letters.

But for some reason, now that I'm alone face to face, I don't know what to say.

Finally, Lin Daiyu simply looked at the old lady intently.

After about half an hour, she reluctantly got up, left some nourishing prescriptions she had prepared, and left.

Xue Baochai sent her outside the courtyard gate and watched her disappear. When he was about to return to the house, he saw Mrs. Wang rushing over from a distance.

She hurriedly greeted her for a while, then stepped forward to greet her and said, "Mrs."

Mrs. Wang looked at her face, which had obviously lost a lot of weight, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then said: "You also go to relieve your boredom with them. I will just keep an eye on the old lady."

In the past, when I looked at Baoyu, I could not show any affection for him, but now that my mentality has changed, I feel much calmer when I look at Baochai.

Xue Baochai still wanted to dodge, but Mrs. Wang had already gone to the old lady's courtyard by herself.

Baochai had no choice but to take Ying'er and the others to the guest house.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, he saw Jiao Shun standing in the pavilion in front of him, seeming to be talking to someone. Baochai subconsciously wanted to change the path and go around, but here was the only way to the guest house.

While hesitating, he suddenly heard Ying'er exclaim: "Huh? Where is my bracelet? Why is my bracelet missing?!"

With that said, he grabbed the left and right and said: "Quick, come back with me to look for it. If it is covered by snow, it will be troublesome to look for it again!"

Seeing her dragging away the two little maids accompanying her without any explanation, Xue Baochai felt dumbfounded.

How could she not see that Ying'er was creating a chance for herself and Jiao Shun to be alone?

Alas~

It was just a misunderstanding that night, so why was this little hooves so focused on identifying the unclear relationship between himself and Brother Jiao?

Watching Ying'er and the others disappear into the snowy sky, Baochai sighed helplessly, turned back and looked forward, only to see a servant in green clothes and a small hat step out of the pavilion and hurried away along the fork in the road.

As a result, only Jiao Shun's burly figure remained in the pavilion.
