Chapter 15

Baoyu was sick again.

Ever since that day, he had caught a cold after returning from the Cupboard of Azure Screen.

He was so weak that he didn't seem like a boy. Jia Zheng felt suffocated for a while.

Lady Wang knew that it was Jia Zheng's doing that caused Baoyu to become weak.

But she didn't dare to blame Jia Zheng. She didn't even dare to cry. Instead, she ate vegetarian and prayed to Buddha more often.

She didn't say a word, but people could feel her grievance and depression.

As expected, Jia Zheng was embarrassed. After that, he didn't strictly control Baoyu anymore.

But even so, Baoyu was still lying on the bed. He was in a daze all day long. No one knew what he was thinking.

All the maidservants in his room were extremely anxious.

As a result, the atmosphere in Rongguo Province became a lot more tense.

It was even more so in the Cupboard of Azure Screen.

Daiyu leaned against the bed with her hair draped over her shoulders. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and the hand holding the book tightened slightly. "In the end, he got sick after returning from the Cupboard of Azure Screen that day. This can't be denied."

Zi Juan hurriedly advised, "Miss, don't think like that.

Bao Er Ye has always been like this. There are often times when he becomes crazy.

No matter what, you can't be blamed. "

Daiyu rubbed the book in her hand. When she realized that she had crumpled the cover of the book, Daiyu hurriedly stopped. She said in a low voice, "That's true …"

But people's hearts were inevitably biased.

Especially after entering Rongguo Province, Daiyu was more aware of this point.

Zi Juan didn't want to see Daiyu's face full of worry. He had an idea and said, "A few days ago, that young master ordered someone to send some books. It seems that there hasn't been any news since …"

Zi Juan wanted to divert Daiyu's attention elsewhere, so that she probably wouldn't have time to worry about Baoyu.

And Daiyu's mind had indeed been taken away.

"It's been a few days. Maybe he's busy."

Daiyu, Zi Juan, and Xue Yan were talking in low voices. They quickly forgot about Baoyu.

…

On this day, Baoyu had a dream in a daze. When he woke up, it was different again.

He got out of bed and made a fuss about going to see Daiyu.

These words first reached Lady Wang's ears. Lady Wang immediately went to Baoyu's residence and gave the servant girls a good scolding. A few of the better-dressed servant girls were reprimanded.

She directly said that they couldn't take good care of Baoyu, and she didn't know what kind of despicable thoughts they had.

Even Madam Jia was aware of this.

Madam Jia usually didn't care about these things. The residence was handed over to Lady Wang and Wang Xifeng to take care of.

"I originally thought that she was smart. Now, who cares if she has other intentions? She's just teaching the servant girls a lesson for others to see."

The old nanny beside her hurriedly said, "Who would think that way?"

Madam Jia sat up straight and sighed, "I'm just afraid that Yu 'er will eat her heart out."

"Miss Lin is very broad-minded. She might not take this matter to heart."

Madam Jia originally just wanted to say a few words to ease the unhappiness in her heart.

She didn't really want to talk about right and wrong.

She thought for a moment and said, "Call Fei Cui over. Send the bolts of cloth in my room to Miss Lin to make a few new sets of clothes."

The old nanny smiled, "Miss Lin will definitely like it very much."

"We can't favor one and discriminate against the other. Take two more bolts of cloth and make some new clothes for Yin Chun and the others.

They're not young anymore. It's time for them to change into new clothes and dress up. "

The old nanny nodded in agreement.

Not long after, Madam Jia's courtyard became quiet again.

It was as if nothing had happened.

In the other room.

He Shen was indeed very busy.

Qianlong was a person who believed that "capable people should do more work." His way of expressing his favor and trust, apart from endless rewards and all kinds of exaggerated indulgence, was to give you more work.

He Shen was currently almost drowning in endless official business.

He was making preparations for the establishment of the national bank.

At the same time, he was also planning how to quietly dig out the foundation that the imperial merchant, Xue Jiayin, relied on for survival.

It was inevitable that Rongguo Province would be somewhat negligent.

He burned all the letters in front of him.

He Shen stood up and let out a tired breath. He took the teacup from Liu Quan's hands and listened to Liu Quan carefully talk about the situation of the villages that Qianlong had bestowed upon him.

"We're a bit short on manpower. How about we purchase some more?" He Shen said.

"Yes, Master."

He Shen suddenly paused and raised his hand to rub his forehead, "How long has it been since I sent letters to Rongguo Province?"

"Thirteen days."

"It's been so long!" He Shen's expression changed slightly, "Is there any news from Rongguo Province?"

Liu Quan looked at his expression and said carefully, "No."

He Shen immediately shut his mouth.

There was an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.

It had been so long since he sent anything there. Did Daiyu not miss him at all?

"However, I know that Master is busy these days, so I made the decision in private and sent something there twice."

He Shen's heart immediately fell back.

I see.

Because he continued to receive things, Daiyu didn't miss him, right?

He Shen felt much better and a smile appeared on his face, "What did you send?"

"The things that Master sent in the past."

He Shen nodded.

He didn't make the decision on what to send.

Liu Quan was really smart. This matter could be said to be handled carefully.

Liu Quan said in a low voice, "There's one more thing I want to tell you."

"Hmm?"

Liu Quan didn't say anything. He just respectfully handed a letter to He Shen.

Of course, it wasn't written by Daiyu.

He Shen glanced at it and knew that it was from Rongguo Province.

It was from Xue Yan.

Xue Yan had been with Daiyu for many years. He could read and write.

However, he had never practiced writing. His writing was a little crooked and looked a little petty.

"It was sent today," Liu Quan said.

"Hmm." He Shen didn't care about Xue Yan's writing. It was fine as long as he could read it.

As he read the letter, he didn't forget to say to Liu Quan, "If you have time, take your mother to see Xue Yan and send some things.

The money will be paid from my account. "

Liu Quan naturally bowed and thanked him.

At first, He Shen's expression could be said to be joyful, but gradually, his expression turned cold.

After he finished reading, He Shen withdrew his hand. The letter was crumpled into a paper ball and thrown into the incense burner.

Suddenly, a flame burst out from the incense burner and devoured the letter.

"Master?" Liu Quan bowed even deeper, "But, but what happened to Miss Lin?"

"That Jia Baoyu is really outrageous." He Shen's expression was cold. He looked a little scary.

Xue Yan also couldn't help but write the letter after hearing Daiyu's worries.

She was worried that Daiyu would be taken advantage of. She was worried that Old Madam Fu and Lady Wang would blame Baoyu's illness on Daiyu.

Even though Old Madam Fu doted on her daughter, everyone knew that Baoyu was still the apple of Old Madam Fu's eye.

Even if Baoyu bumped into something, it was bound to cause a commotion.

No matter how much Old Madam Fu doted on her daughter, it was not as important as her grandson.

Therefore, Xue Yan described the entire incident in the letter without leaving anything out. When she mentioned Baoyu, she described it very straightforwardly.

She said that when Baoyu saw Daiyu, he was so infatuated.

She also said that after he went back, he fell ill and missed Daiyu all day long.

Not only would it be bad for Old Madam Fu's reputation, but it would also make Lady Wang and Old Madam Fu unhappy with Daiyu.

"If the dignified Rongguo Province can't teach a Jia Baoyu, then I'll teach her!" He Shen said coldly.

Liu Quan had never been afraid of Rongguo Province. At this time, he naturally echoed, "Master is right."

But how could he calm down the anger in his heart by just saying a few words that didn't hurt him?

He Shen felt as if someone had set a fire in his chest. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't extinguish it.

"Go to Rongguo Province," He Shen said in a deep voice.

He could give Daiyu many new things and give her a lot of money. He could also carefully train her servant girls and take good care of her. He could teach her that she didn't have to live in fear and trepidation in the Jia Mansion.

However, as long as Daiyu was in Rongguo Province, she was destined to be suppressed.

Even if she had enough food and clothing, and her servant girls were capable.

However, there were elders everywhere in the Jia Mansion. After all, they didn't watch her grow up. Friendship was only on the surface. How could there be true love?

Among her sisters of the same generation, Yin Chun was cowardly like a wooden person; Tanchun had been working with Wang Xifeng for a long time and was shrewd and experienced; Xichun was reclusive and indifferent.

None of them were well-ironed.

Baochai was also someone who knew the ways of the world. Compared to Daiyu, Baochai had even fewer confidants in the mansion.

In this kind of environment.

The elders could make her lose face at any time. She didn't have any close friends of the same generation. Baoyu was also used to hurting people's hearts.

Wouldn't Daiyu sooner or later go on the road of hemoptysis and die?

He Shen couldn't tolerate it!

At this time, he heard the footsteps of servants outside.

"Master!"

"Speak." He Shen's heart was filled with anger. At this time, his tone was very cold.

The servant shrank his neck and whispered, "Second Master of Rongguo Province invites you to the temple."

"No, just tell Second Master that I'm going to Rongguo Province. I have something to tell him."

The servant hurriedly nodded, turned around, and ran away. He Shen didn't even dare to look at him.

"Pack up. I'm leaving now," He Shen said.

Liu Quan nodded his head and followed him.

Liu Quan wasn't afraid of He Shen's fierce aura. On the contrary, he was looking forward to how his master would deal with Rongguo Province.

The more he saw his master's methods, the more he looked forward to it.

When Jia Zheng returned to Rongguo Province, He Shen was already waiting there.

Jia Zheng got out of the sedan chair.

He saw a young man wearing a dark green pipa coat and square black satin boots. He was tall and slender, standing in front of the mighty stone lion.

He didn't look like a gentleman in the past.

Looking at him today …

He was incomparably fierce.
