Just when Jia Zheng summoned Tanchun, Baoyu returned to Yihongyuan happily, carrying plum blossoms on her shoulders.

Just after passing the water corridor, before entering the courtyard gate, he shouted loudly: "Xi Ren, Xi Ren, quickly ask someone to send this plum blossom to Muni Yuan, so that Miaoyu can also..."

Halfway through, he kicked the door in and turned around. He was stunned on the spot. There were twenty young people standing in the center of the yard. At this time, all of them looked towards him with burning eyes.

Although he recognized that these were the maids and servants of Yihongyuan, Baoyu still swallowed guiltily, and then asked sarcastically: "What are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the maids and servants dispersed with a cheer, leaving Xi Ren and She Yue standing in the middle with a bitter look on their face.

Seeing that there were only two of them left, Baoyu suddenly became more courageous. He came closer with plum blossoms on his shoulders and asked in a low voice: "What happened just now?"

"this……"

Xiren looked around. Although there were not many people in the yard, everyone in front of the window and behind the door were staring at this place.

She sighed and said, "Let's talk about it after we go in."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the main room first.

Baoyu also looked around suspiciously, but only saw heads that were quickly hiding.

What the hell is going on?

He followed the attacker into the main room suspiciously. Seeing that the attacker was about to pour tea, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "First find a big vase - no, two of them!"

Xiren went to find two vases, and moved them to the sitting room in the living room with She Yue. Baoyu inserted the two plum blossoms into them, and then gathered around to discuss them, and suddenly said: "How should we put the sisters together?"

Please come all over and have another plum blossom poetry meeting."

After saying that, he was about to go to the study to write a post, but for a moment he completely forgot about what he had just seen and heard in the courtyard.

"Second Master!"

Xiren had no choice but to hold him back and said seriously: "Sit down first, I have something to discuss with you."

Baoyu then remembered what happened just now, pinched his assistant and said, "Is that what happened outside just now? I almost forgot to ask you, what happened just now? What were they doing in the courtyard?"

"Alas~"

Xiren sighed and said helplessly: "Didn't I hear that the second master is going to the south with me? It's ready. Who can I take with me and who can I not take with me? It's easy to say if I take you with me, but what should I do if I don't take you with me at home? It's still the same.

Guard Yihongyuan, or disperse everywhere first? Should we supply according to the previous monthly supply, or should we cut back as usual?"

The last four words were emphasized, obviously this was the key to what she wanted to say.

After Mrs. Wang was completely disappointed with Baoyu, she had reduced the supply of Yihongyuan. Now that Li Wan has taken over the power, Baoyu has been dismissed from office and will never use it again. It can be said that it is a high-level judgment.

Although Li Wan left the people in Yihongyuan alone, those who watched people serve dishes would no longer spoil Yihongyuan. In just a few days, the treatment of the maids and servants had declined visibly.

What is even more unacceptable to everyone is that the women in charge often assign extra errands to Yihongyuan under the pretext of lack of manpower. Apart from other things, Yihongyuan was responsible for sweeping up after the snow this time.

The range is more than three or four times larger than before.

But at this time, news came again that Second Master Bao was going south with him - this master had been cheated when he was here. When Baoyu left, would everyone still be alive?

So everyone gathered to put pressure on the attacker, hoping to get an explanation before Baoyu went south.

But Baoyu obviously failed to understand Xiren's meaning, and smiled nonchalantly: "You can rest assured, I will definitely take you and Sheyue."

The attacker fell silent upon hearing this.

If in the past, she had considered it from Baoyu's perspective wholeheartedly, she would have definitely hoped to resolve this matter to avoid any further trouble.

But now she has no intention of pushing forward. Anyway, Baoyu promised to take her and Sheyue south. By then, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so she won't be able to care about so much.

Just at this moment, She Yue outside suddenly raised her voice and said, "How come Sister Caixia has time to come to our place?"

Then came Caixia's voice: "You are saying this as if I have never been here - is the second master in the house?"

"Here you are."

Baoyu and Xiren listened to her reply and hurriedly came out of the room to welcome her: "Sister Caixia, it's cold outside, come in and talk."

Caixia was not polite at all, she entered the room with a smile, sat down at the table, took two sips of tea, and then said calmly: "Just now, the master sent a message that after the second month of February, the dragon will raise its head.

We need to help Ling go south and let the second master prepare his luggage in advance."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

When Xiren heard this, he hurriedly gave Caixia more tea and asked, "Whatever you want to take with you or not, has Madam ever given me the charter?"

"My wife didn't say anything."

Caixia glanced at Xiren and said with a smile: "It's true that the master has specifically asked the second master to take only what he must take with him, and no extra people or things are allowed to be brought."

Hearing the word 'superfluous', Xiren felt a sudden shock in his heart, but he still took the chance and asked: "Sister Lao, please make it clearer. Has the master ever specified which one should be taken and which one should not be taken?"

Caixia said in a humorous tone: "The master said that you can only bring one inside and one outside. The outsider is definitely because Li Gui has not escaped, but the inside..."

At this point, she deliberately stopped and her eyes wandered back and forth on Xi Ren and She Yue.

In the past, She Yue must have thought that she could not compete with Xi Ren, but recently, while Mrs. Wang was disappointed with Baoyu, she also resented Xi Ren's lack of care. Maybe...

She unconsciously held her breath.

Although Xiren was also very disappointed with Baoyu, this was related to her future status, so she couldn't help but hold her breath.

Caixia and others whetted their appetites, and then they said: "This one, of course it must be Nanny Li."

Only then did the two of them realize that they had been tricked by her. They were feeling frustrated and angry. Caixia stood up again and said: "Okay, I have already conveyed the message. You should hurry up and pack up in the past two days. The lady will probably come on the first day of the lunar month next month."

Inspected personally.”

With that said, he walked out.

"etc!"

Baoyu finally came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Caixia and said: "Sister Caixia, Grandma Li is old, who knows how to take care of others? Please tell me, Mrs. Ming, or change it to Xiren and Musk

The moon is good."

Caixia forcefully broke away from his hand and stamped her feet exaggeratedly: "Hey, my second master, do you think that he is going to enjoy the mountains and rivers? This is to help the old lady's coffin go south. Even the master has to drive lightly, you

What's the point of taking two young maids on the road?"

In one sentence, Baoyu is so dull that it’s hard to describe.

Caixia waited for a moment, and when she saw that he had nothing else to say, she walked around him and continued walking out.

Although She Yue welcomed her in when she arrived, she had tears in her eyes, but how could he care about sending her out?

However, Xiren managed to sort out the chaos in his mind and took the initiative to send her out of Yihongyuan.

When they arrived outside the courtyard gate, Xiren was absent-mindedly wanting to say a few words, when Caixia suddenly looked around in confusion, then pulled Xiren to the corner and asked quietly: "Xieren, what are you going to do next?"

manage?"

"What to do?"

Xiren forced a smile and said: "Of course I will guard Yihongyuan and wait for Mr. Bao to come back from the south."

"It's best to do this. Just be afraid..."

Caixia deliberately betrayed her again.

"What are you afraid of?"

Although Xi Ren guessed that she probably didn't have any good intentions, he still followed her thoughts and asked.

"I'm just afraid that I can't help myself!"

Caixia lowered her voice and said, "You don't know, right? Yuanyang has already agreed with the madam that after the old lady's coffin is sent away, she will go to Muni Courtyard to guard the second girl. I heard that the madam is impressed by her loyalty.

Chicheng, I plan to send Amber and the others to Muni Courtyard too!"

At this point, she gently pushed the attacker: "Don't forget, although you are serving Baoyu, you are actually a member of the old lady's house. If you are also..."

Hearing this, Xi Ren felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was stunned for who knows how long. When he came back to his senses, Caixia had already disappeared.

"Muniyuan, Muniyuan, Muniyuan..."

Xiren Nannan muttered, turned around and returned to Yihong Courtyard in despair.

In the living room of the main hall, Baoyu was scurrying around like ants in a hot pot. When he saw Xiren walking in from the outside with a miserable look on his face, he stamped his feet and said: "You guys wait, I will beg my wife to let you follow me..."

"

"Second Master!"

Xiren interrupted him abruptly and shouted with an unprecedented coldness: "I beg you, please leave us a way to survive!"

How many times had Xiren, who believed in Baoyu the most, no longer believed that he could argue in front of Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng? What's more, Mrs. Wang was disappointed with Baoyu, so she turned her anger on herself.

The more Baoyu makes trouble for himself, the more his wife will hate herself.

"This, you, I..."

Baoyu's eyes widened, and he pointed at Xiren with a look of disbelief. After a while, he suddenly sat down, patted the table and said: "Come on, I don't care, I don't care about anything! The fourth sister is right.

, There is no such thing as a never-ending banquet in this world. If you leave me, you might live a more free, carefree and happy life!"

After saying that, he swept his arms and swept all the teacups and teapots on the table to the ground, causing them to shatter into pieces.

She Yue was startled, and subconsciously stepped forward to coax Baoyu with a few words, but when she saw the attacker pick up the curtain and leave without saying a word, she paused in her steps, hesitated for a long time, and finally followed out silently.

It was only half a step too late, but there was no sign of the attacker in the courtyard.

After searching around, I heard someone said that after the attacker left the main room, he left Yihongyuan without stopping for a moment.

She Yue thought to herself that she must be looking for a way out, but if Xiren could find a way out, what should she do?

At this time, several maids and servants gathered around. They pulled her and asked Xi Ren and the second master if they had reacted. If this continued, everyone would have no chance of survival.

"You have no way to survive, how can it be that Xiren and I do?!"

She Yue pushed everyone away distractedly and said angrily: "To tell you the truth, the only people accompanying the second master to go south this time are Grandma Li and Li Gui. Even Xiren and I have to stay behind to make a living, let alone

You?! It’s better to ask for others than to ask for yourself, so you should all do your own thing!”
