Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 201 Let’s Leave the Capital

Doctor He and Aunt Meng discussed a prescription for rest together, and repeatedly reminded her not to get angry or worried again, and then left.

Aunt Meng found a place in the inner room to sit down and drink tea and eat fruit, waiting for Daiyu to return home together.

Everyone in the Jia family rushed over. Jia Zheng must have come in to take a look at Jia's mother, and when he saw that she was really awake, he left with red eyes.

Shi Xiangyun simply lay down beside Grandmother Jia and started crying: "Old lady, you scared me to death!"

"Okay, be quiet and go away." Daiyu patted her and asked her to sit down and cry with Xichun who was wiping her tears silently beside her.

Then he turned to Lady Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, and Yuanyang, "Since Imperial Physician He said that the old lady should not work any more, the family and the court are both in a time of trouble, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to do so."

Before he finished speaking, someone outside reported: "The Imperial Concubine has sent Miss Baoqin to come and see the old lady in person."

Everyone stopped talking and hurriedly welcomed Baoqin in.

No matter how hard she struggled, Grandmother Jia couldn't get up, so she lay back with a pale face.

The first thing Baoqin saw was Chu Qian standing outside, and her pupils shrank. Then she went inside and saw Daiyu and Aunt Meng sitting in the corner.

She forced a smile and bowed to Daiyu first, saying, "I pay my respects to Princess Zhaoqing. May the Princess live long and happy lives."

Then he bowed to Aunt Meng and said, "Meet Meng Shangyi."

The two of them nodded at the same time: "Yeah."

Daiyu pointed to the side and said, "I'm talking, wait a minute."

Baoqin stood over obediently: "Yes."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay!

Since when did the people around the Imperial Concubine not even dare to pass on the Imperial Concubine's order first, and treat a princess like a cat and mouse? !

"I will continue." Daiyu gently held Grandmother Jia's hand, only to feel that it was cold. She looked at the old lady and said, "I think it would be better to ask Grandmother to leave Beijing and recuperate."

In the silence, only Lin Daiyu's soft and gentle voice could be heard: "I have a hot spring resort in the suburbs of Beijing. Although it is not big, the layout is quite good.

"Now that grandma is ill, she needs to take good care of herself. The weather is getting colder, and the hot springs over there are warm and quiet. I thought, why not invite her to stay there for a while? She can come back before the end of the year. What do you think?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jia Zheng objected: "The people in the village are clumsy and weak, how can they serve the old ancestor well? Besides, it's so far away, and the journey will be tiring.

"The old lady is not feeling well right now. If she were in the capital, she would have the imperial physician to see her at any time. If she were to go there, there would be nothing wrong. There wouldn't even be any good medicine, let alone a good doctor.

"Why don't you just rest at home? We, your children, will take good care of you and not let you worry."

Jia She pondered for a moment, then nodded slowly, looking out the window coldly: "That's what I mean. With the old lady at home, in front of us, we can feel more at ease.

"If you go outside and something happens, no one in our family will be around, and I'm afraid they will blame you afterwards. Although Sister Lin means well, our family owes you too much now and we can't afford it anymore.

"Now, we have everything here except good doctors. We can also spare a hot spring villa, so we don't have to go to your villa."

Saying that he was worried that he would not be around when his mother got into trouble was a sincere statement, but the following words were not right.

What does "can't afford it" mean? !

Aunt Meng threw the fruit in her hand back onto the table with a thud, wiped her hands with a towel, stood up, and snorted:

"That's true. I don't know whether you have paid for Doctor He's travel expenses, but my travel expenses cannot be paid from the princess's account.

"Come on, give me one hundred taels now!"

Jia She and Jia Zheng's faces suddenly changed!

Daiyu sat there quietly, without saying a word.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly pulled Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing had been stunned by what she heard, but now she came to her senses, hurried over with a smile, pushed Aunt Meng back into her chair, and personally brought her a cup of tea, saying with a smile:

"It's too polite to talk about whether you owe something to your niece. Master, I'm not saying anything too much, but the ginseng that the old lady used for medicine this year was all brought by my niece.

"If you say that you, as an uncle, owe your niece a favor, then you owe her a lot. Your niece helped so much in your daughter's marriage, how are you going to repay her?

"Besides, this is the granddaughter who wants to honor her grandmother. She is just discussing with you. You should give her a lecture first. Whether to go, how to go, and when to go, all depends on our old lady, right?"

Mrs. Xing gently pushed the problem to Lady Jia.

Although Jia's mother was awake, she felt very uncomfortable, dizzy and chest tight, and just wanted to close her eyes and fall asleep. At this moment, she was being disturbed by everyone and being asked by her daughter-in-law, so she could only nod reluctantly: "Okay."

Mrs. Xing smiled brightly: "See, I told you, a grandmother would love to be respected by her granddaughter the most!"

Jia Zheng snorted heavily outside.

When the stalemate was just approaching, Daiyu raised her eyes and glanced at Baoqin for a moment.

Baoqin understood almost instantly and spoke subconsciously: "I have something to say."

Everyone fell silent and turned to look at her curiously.

Baoqin forced a smile and said, "When I left the palace, the Imperial Concubine said something. If the old lady is fine, then it will be the best of luck. If there is anything wrong, please follow Princess Zhaoqing's arrangements."

Outside, Jia She and Jia Zheng both widened their eyes.

Jia Huan also found it incredible, and whispered in his father's ear: "Shouldn't Sister Lin listen to the eldest sister? Why is it the other way around?"

Jia Zheng took a deep breath, his face full of anger, gnashing his teeth, and whispered: "She must have been the one who did something wrong and bullied your elder sister in front of His Majesty or the Queen Mother!"

Sister Lin, can you bully the Imperial Concubine?

Jia Huan seemed to be thinking about something.

Baoyu was listening coldly to the intimate conversation between the father and son, and suddenly a feeling of absurdity arose in his heart.

There was a time when he thought it was impossible for his father not to love him.

He also felt that the unexpected scenes of love and filial piety between his father and Jia Huan were his own petty speculations.

But now, listening to their words filled with narrow-mindedness, stinginess and greed for fame and fortune, Baoyu felt that, indeed, he was incompatible with everyone in this family.

He quietly took a half step back, looking more and more like an outsider watching from the sidelines.

Jia She and Madam Xing discussed in a low voice behind the curtain and finally made a decision: "Let the old lady wait for a few more days, and then ask Imperial Doctor He and Aunt Meng to come and take a look. If she can handle the long journey, she can go to Sister Lin's farm to rest."

Daiyu saw that it was settled, so she stood up and said goodbye: "Let grandma rest for a while. Let Aunt Meng come over tomorrow to give her acupuncture."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng both breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly smiled and accompanied Daiyu out.

Daiyu stopped Mrs. Xing, went out of the outer room, bowed to She and Zheng, and then left.

Wang Xifeng, with a happy face, accompanied Daiyu out of the yard, whispered something to Ping'er, and then slowly walked out with Daiyu.

Daiyu glanced at her and asked, "What are you hanging again?"

"There are so many people coming and going in this house, but there are few good thieves." Wang Xifeng smiled and pointed to the second door in front, "I will take you here.

"There are still a few people escorting your carriage out. Please stand there for a moment."
