That night, the attacker was tossing and turning in the east wing, undecided.

The third girl's invitation to her during the day could be said to have opened up a path that she had never imagined.

Putting aside the emotional factors, Uncle Jiao, who is in full swing, is undoubtedly ten times and a hundred times more powerful than Baoyu, who has never been used. But the competition there is also extremely fierce, even Qingwen, the girl in Yihong Courtyard

Even if you are ahead of others, you can't be considered top-notch over there.

What's more, the relationship of more than ten years can't be said to be thrown away?

Just as I was struggling, I suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from outside, as if someone was stamping their feet outside the window.

The attacker listened for a while and saw that the sound not only did not disappear, but became clearer and clearer, he put on his coat and cautiously approached the window, opened half the window and asked, "Who? Who is outside?"

"Shh~"

A dark figure in the corridor made a silent gesture to her, then came to the window and whispered: "Don't yell, it's me."

"Second Master?"

Hearing the voice of Jia Baoyu, Xiren hurriedly buttoned up his clothes and went out and went to the window, only to see Baoyu wearing only a single piece of white satin, holding his arms and shivering in the cold.

Seeing that his face was turning blue, Xiren couldn't help but said in surprise: "My little ancestor, you, what are you causing trouble?! Come on, go in and warm yourself up, otherwise you will get cold!"

As he spoke, he wanted to pull.

Baoyu, however, refused to give in. He shrank back and said triumphantly: "I am just about to get sick. When the time comes, my wife will soften her heart and she will probably agree to let you go south together!"

Only then did Xiren understand his intention.

Seeing that his nose was so cold that he still refused to enter the house, he felt guilty and moved at the same time. He couldn't help but hugged Baoyu and cried: "Second Master, my good Second Master!"

When Baoyu saw her like this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, thinking that it was not in vain that he came to the East Wing corridor to stamp his feet. Then he would just wait for his wife to come to visit her, and then everything would be fine!

However……

The next day he waited not only for Mrs. Wang, but also for Jia Zheng, who had a sinking face.

As soon as Jia Zheng entered the door, he stared at Baoyu Yunqi. Baoyu was already ill, and when he frightened him, he became even more flustered, short of breath, and coughing.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Wang was about to step forward, but she was stopped by Jia Zheng with his arms crossed, pointing at Baoyu and gnashing his teeth: "You stubborn little beast! Previously, in front of the old lady's spirit, I saw you chanting sutras every day for salvation.

Even though your behavior is eccentric and eccentric, you still have some filial piety - now I know, those are just for show!"

Hearing this, Baoyu hurriedly got off the ground, knelt down tremblingly and said: "Master Mingjian, I never had such an idea?"

"you have not?!"

Hearing that Baoyu dared to quibble, if he hadn't seen him coughing non-stop, Jia Zheng would have wanted to kick him: "Okay, okay, let me ask you, I just said that I will take you with me to help Ling go south, you

You deliberately wandered out in single clothes in the middle of the night, but why?!"

"ah?!"

Baoyu was dumbfounded. How could he have thought that what he did yesterday had already reached his father's ears?

Seeing that he was speechless, Jia Zheng rolled his sleeves and said, "What a shameless evil! How did the old lady treat you when she was alive, but you are not even willing to support her coffin and go south for burial?!"

"I, I, I..."

Only then did Baoyu realize that he had completely backfired. Jia Zheng was stammering and waiting for an explanation, but Jia Zheng was not willing to listen. He directly punished him to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" ten times while he was sick, so that he could burn it to the old lady before setting off.

Then he looked at the silent maids and servants aside and sneered: "Who was on duty yesterday?"

She Yue's delicate body trembled, and she slowly knelt down on the ground: "Yes, she is a slave."

"Let the Lin Zhixiao family come and take the person, and punish him as he wants. If you really can't discipline him, call his mother and take him back!"

After Jia Zheng finished speaking, he ignored the chicken feathers, turned around and left angrily.

Mrs. Wang stared at the attacker for a moment, snorted heavily, and then followed.

Just this cold snort sent chills down Xiren's spine.

She Yue knelt on the ground and looked up at Baoyu, then at Xiren, and finally turned around and sneered at the maids and women: "Okay, okay, I asked you to fend for yourself yesterday, don't you want to do it today?"

I have become a stepping stone for you - but don’t be too happy, wait for me to recover, hum~!"

All the maids and servants lowered their heads, as if she was talking about someone else.

Just at this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family came in with two strong women, pointed at She Yue and said, "Take them away!"

The two women immediately pounced on him like wolves and tigers, picked up She Yue and walked out.

She Yue, who was still furious just now, suddenly turned pale and shouted repeatedly: "Second Master, Second Master, save me, Second Master, save me! Second Master, Second Master, I was wronged, Second Master!"

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu took two steps on his knees, stretched out his arms and shouted: "Mu Yue, Mu Yue, Mu Yue~!"

He has never learned the ability to photograph objects from a distance, so doing so is naturally futile and useless.

Seeing She Yue being dragged away, Xiren called to the people around him and helped Baoyu back to the bed.

Baoyu kept weeping and kept calling out "Mu Yue".

Bi Xi's heart was in such a mess that he couldn't be bothered to comfort him.

I don't know how much time passed, but the door curtain suddenly opened, and Xichun walked in from the outside. Seeing this, she asked the attacker for a few words. When she learned the cause and effect, she stepped back behind the screen, came closer and said, "Brother, what's going on?"

Why bother? You and I are destined to be detached. It's too late to take the initiative to cut off the worldly ties, so why force it?"

Baoyu shook his head, still sobbing.

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Xichun left behind a copy of "The Sutra of Merit and Virtue Spoken by the Buddha" and returned to his Nuanxiangwu.

The attacker sent her away and returned to the inner room. Looking at Baoyu who was still crying, he himself was stunned.

After a long time, I finally remembered to give a few words of advice.

Baoyu was so crying that she stopped showing up and asked for a cup of tea. She pulled Xiren with tears in her eyes and said, "Master, there has been a misunderstanding now. I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult for me to take you and Sheyue with me again. When the time comes, you will take my place."

I'll take more care of She Yue, and wait for my return at Yihong Courtyard with peace of mind."

Xiren gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said: "After all, I am from the old lady's side, and now I have offended my wife and the second grandma. When the second master leaves, I will be like a duckweed without roots. How can I make my own decisions?"

?And I heard that my wife intends to send us to the Muni Monastery to chant sutras and pray for the old lady, and by the way, we can also take care of the second girl."

This was what she feared most. After hearing this, Clinker Baoyu's expression changed. After a while, he exhaled and said: "Maybe I am destined to be detached - just wait for me to come back from the south and find a place near Muni Yuan."

After I am ordained in the temple and become a monk, how about we discuss Buddhism together every day and ignore the distractions of this world?"

Having said this, he looked at the attacker full of hope.

Xiren, however, seemed to have been poured cold water on his head. He looked at him steadily for a long time, then took out his catkins from his hand little by little, and said coldly: "Since the second master wants to be detached, how dare this slave?

Holding you back?"

With that said, he called the little maid to take his place, and without even thinking, he left Yihongyuan and went straight to Qiu Shuangzhai where the third girl was.

When I arrived at Qiushuangzhai, I saw Tanchun packing up and getting ready to go out.

Seeing the attacker coming to the door, Tanchun stopped and asked: "How is the second brother? I heard that he caught a cold last night, and I wanted to visit him, but the master told me about another important errand.

, no delay."

"Second Master is fine."

Xiren ignored Jia Baoyu with just one word, then bit his lower lip and looked at Shishu and others beside Tanchun.

Tan Chun immediately raised his hand and signaled the servants to step aside for now, then he didn't say anything and just looked at the attacker quietly.

The attacker bowed his head slightly in her gaze, and then said a blessing: "Girl, I, I want to follow you."

A smile appeared on Tanchun's lips: "Have you thought about it?"

"I've thought about it."

"No regrets?"

"not regret!"

"Well."

Tanchun nodded: "Now I am going to Jiao's house for a visit. If you have nothing to do, you might as well come and have a look."

Xiren's delicate body trembled when he heard this.

Although she had made up her mind, she thought she was going to wait for Baoyu to leave before switching families. Who would have thought that the third girl would take her to the Jiao family right now.

"Don't worry, I'm just borrowing you temporarily."

Tanchun noticed her concerns and reached out to pat her shoulder: "When I ask my wife to ask for you and what I want you to do, it all depends on how you behave this time."

After all, Xiren was not an indecisive person. He knew whether he was a monk or a layman. He immediately prostrated himself again and said: "I will do whatever you want me to do, without any hesitation!"

Tanchun was quite satisfied with her attitude, so he took her to Zijin Street with him.

Shi Xiangyun was very happy to see Tanchun, and pulled her to complain repeatedly, saying that the closer the delivery date was, the more taboos she had, and that she had not been able to leave the hospital for several days.

Tanchun comforted her carefully, and discussed the issue of having children for a long time, and then changed the topic: "To be honest with you, in addition to visiting you this time, I was also sent by the master.

I want to ask Brother Jiao for some help."

Shi Xiangyun was a little embarrassed at first after hearing this, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Fuling's journey south didn't require much ostentation, and four or five thousand taels would be enough.

So he ordered people to send a message to Jiao Shun, asking him to go home as early as possible in the evening.
