I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 60: Madam Wang's Move
Jia Cheng has been treating Lady Jia for a month, and today is the last day.
Grandmother Jia's luck has been replenished. She feels more relaxed than ever before and becomes more energetic.
Jia Baoyu stared at Jia Cheng's hand taking his pulse without blinking. He held his breath and did not dare to disturb Jia Cheng.
The same is true for the maids in Jia's mother's room. They all look forward to good news from Jia's mother. The honor and disgrace of these maids are tied to Jia's mother. Only when Jia's mother is good can they be good.
Jia Cheng withdrew his jade-white little hand with a faint smile on his face.
This smile was like melting ice and snow, and it was like the snow lotus on the top of the mountain blooming.
For a moment, everyone was stunned by Jia Cheng's smile. Jia Baoyu even drooled and muttered to himself, "Brother Cheng is really a god-like figure. Compared with him, I am like that foul smelling mud."
"Congratulations, grandma. You have fully recovered and are in excellent health. From now on, you can eat whatever you want and you don't have to avoid certain foods anymore." Jia Cheng's clear voice woke everyone up.
Everyone congratulated Lady Jia on her recovery.
"Grandma, you're finally well. I'm so happy." Jia Baoyu smiled like a flower and walked forward to hold Grandmother Jia's hand.
Grandmother Jia looked at Jia Baoyu lovingly, her eyes filled with relief and joy.
She knew that Jia Baoyu had been worried about her illness, and now she could finally rest assured.
"Old lady, you are fine now. We are relieved. Brother Cheng's medical skills are truly the reincarnation of Hua Tuo." Wang Xifeng flattered him with a smile.
She thought that now that Lady Jia had recovered, the crisis for the Jia family had been temporarily resolved, and she could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Grandmother Jia was her great supporter. She knew that her aunt, Lady Wang, was unreliable, so she had to cling to the old lady.
Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Cheng, her eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
This brother-in-law is usually very aloof, but I didn't expect that he has such great medical skills. It's really impressive.
The main thing is that he is only six years old, but he can cure diseases and is better than the imperial physician. She dare not imagine his future achievements.
Wang Xifeng was determined to get closer to her brother-in-law, perhaps both Jia Lian and she would benefit from it.
Mrs. Wang's face was stiff, and her murderous intent towards Jia Cheng grew stronger.
She couldn't wait to come up with any conspiracy or trickery and wanted to stab Jia Cheng to death right now.
She felt that Jia Cheng was becoming more and more outstanding and winning more and more favor from Lady Jia, which made her feel threatened.
She couldn't let Jia Cheng take away Jia Baoyu's position in the Jia family, and couldn't let him become the heir of the Jia family.
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and looked at Jia Cheng with admiration, "Brother Cheng is diligent and studious. He was able to teach himself medicine to treat his grandmother. He is truly a talented person in the Jia family."
He thought that Jia Cheng was not only good at studying but also very talented. He also had achievements in medical skills. Jia Zheng was full of expectations for Jia Cheng's future. He believed that Jia Cheng would definitely become the pride of the Jia family.
Compared to the naughty Jia Baoyu, Jia Zheng appreciates Jia Cheng more.
Jia She and Mrs. Xing didn't say anything, but their grinning faces showed their good mood.
They thought that Jia Cheng had made great contributions and no young person in the family could compare to him.
After hearing what everyone said, Jia's mother was so happy that she held Jia Cheng's hand and said, "My good boy, you are my lifesaver! I will definitely reward you handsomely."
Jia Cheng said modestly: "Grandma, you are too polite, I just did what I should do.
Filial piety is the most important virtue. Only if you are healthy can your whole family enjoy prosperity and well-being."
The room was immediately filled with praise for Jia Cheng. Jia Baoyu even took Jia Cheng's hand when he was not paying attention, and acted very intimately with him.
Jia Cheng always felt that Jia Baoyu looked at him with a gay look in his eyes. He remembered that Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber seemed to be bisexual, and he suddenly got goose bumps.
This boy, although young, is quite creative.
Jia Cheng was treated like a god by his grandmother, and the maids in the house served him as if he were their savior.
Grandmother Jia recovered, which was a good thing for everyone in the Jia family.
The maids were also very happy because they knew that now that Lady Jia had recovered, they could continue to be rich and marry into good families.
Feicui had already found someone she liked, and if Lady Jia hadn't suddenly fallen ill, she might have already been married.
Now that Lady Jia has recovered, she also hopes to leave Rongguo Mansion as soon as possible and get married, away from troubles.
She thought that after staying in Rongguo Mansion for so many years, it was time to plan for her future.
She didn't want to be a maid anymore. She wanted to be a free woman, marry the person she loved, and live the life she wanted.
The maids have been restless recently because of Lady Jia's illness, and everyone is restless.
Just like Zhenzhu, who couldn't hold her temper and went to Lady Wang for help when Lady Jia couldn't get out of bed.
Feicui learned about this by accident, but she didn't say anything. She thought it was better to have less trouble than more. She was about to leave the house, so why should she bother others?
Because Feicui and Boli were both of marriageable age, and Boli was beginning to feel romantic and not too concerned about Lady Jia's affairs, all the maids who came later wanted to take her place.
The one who jumped the most happily among them was Yuanyang. Li Yuanyang relied on the reputation of his parents and was so arrogant that he was almost to the sky.
She felt that she was Lady Jia's favorite maid and the one most likely to become Lady Jia's confidant.
She looked down on other maids and even often bullied them.
She felt that she had enough capital to act arrogantly in Rongguo Mansion.
Feicui couldn't stand Yuanyang's behavior, but there was nothing she could do.
She knew that Yuanyang was a person with lofty ambitions, and she also had a background.
Feicui didn't want to have a conflict with Yuanyang, nor did she want to be retaliated by her. She just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible and start her new life.
Before, Yuanyang dared to offend Jia She for a little maid named Xi Que. She didn't even care about the masters of the Jia family, so she would be even more domineering towards the servants.
In Feicui's opinion, the situation around Lady Jia is too chaotic, with a lot of people and people's hearts. She doesn't want to be in this vortex, she just wants to get out of it safely.
Grandmother Jia recovered, and Rongguo Mansion prepared a grand banquet to celebrate and get rid of the bad luck.
However, Grandmother Jia didn't want to invite outsiders, she just wanted to have some fun at home.
So the Rongguo Mansion, the Ningguo Mansion, the Shi family, and the Wang family gathered together. Except for the Xue family who was too far away to come, three of the four major families came.
Grandmother Jia was wearing a brand new set of clothes, her face was rosy and she looked full of energy, completely different from the bedridden look she had a month ago.
Before Jia Cheng cured Lady Jia's illness, the news of Jia Cheng's treatment had never been spread outside. Jia She was afraid that his son would be implicated if he failed to cure the old lady.
Now that Lady Jia is better, Jia She can finally show off. His son is a skilled doctor, even Hua Tuo could not compare to him. He looks so proud.
The only voices heard throughout the entire banquet were those of Jia She and Mrs. Xing. Jia She showed off his son among the men, while Mrs. Xing showed off her son among the women.
Jia Cheng leaned obediently beside Lady Jia, listening to her praising him to the daughters-in-law, nieces-in-law, and granddaughters-in-law.
Jia Baoyu was ignored.
Mrs. Wang's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head and told Jin Chuan to serve wine to Lady Jia's table. She couldn't wait to start.
She didn't care about bribing people around Jia Cheng to kill with a borrowed knife, or any roundabout policies.
She was going to kill Jia Cheng now, immediately, and soon.
Jia Cheng did not offend Lady Wang directly, but Lady Wang had a mental disorder with him and felt uncomfortable when she saw Jia Cheng.
Mrs. Wang had a premonition that Jia Cheng would harm her and Baoyu in the future, and she couldn't let this scourge remain.
Following Mrs. Wang's order, Jin Chuan served plum wine to Lady Jia's table. The wine had a very low alcohol content and was equivalent to a beverage.
Grandmother Jia was in a good mood today, so she asked everyone to drink to their heart's content, and Jia Baoyu and Jia Cheng also poured plum wine into their glasses.
Jia Cheng noticed the taste was wrong as soon as he took a sip, but he didn't say anything and just drank it all in one gulp.
When Mrs. Wang saw Jia Cheng drinking the wine, her eyes flashed with viciousness. "Damn little bastard, laugh and be proud, today is your memorial day."
Everyone was having a great time at the banquet, playing drinking games noisily, and the wives who had just finished their meals played mahjong together.
Grandmother Jia hugged Jia Cheng lovingly and gently stroked his hair with her hand, showing her love for Jia Cheng.
She smiled at Jia Cheng and said gently, "Cheng'er, go out and play with Baoyu, Lan'er and the others. It will help you kill time. You can't understand what we women are saying."
Wang Xifeng laughed heartily and said, "Brother Cheng is still young. Even if he acts like a little adult, he still likes to go out and play. The little doctor will definitely not like to hear our family gossips."
Jia Cheng smiled embarrassedly, thinking that it was quite interesting to listen to everyone's conversation.
However, Jia Baoyu did not give him the chance to speak. He smiled and pulled Jia Cheng's hand and ran out together, as if he could not wait any longer.
Jia's mother pointed at the backs of the two people leaving and said to everyone: "Brother Cheng usually looks steady, but he is still a child. Let him relax.
During the time he was treating me, he worked day and night, managed my diet personally, and came to take my pulse every day.
His father forced him to use his free time to study for the imperial examinations, so the child never fell behind in his studies. "
Grandmother Jia raised her head proudly and said, "Such a young child, but he is very determined."
All the female members of the family echoed and spoke well of Jia Cheng.
Mrs. Wang also joined in praising Jia Cheng, but she said it with gritted teeth.
Jia Baoyu and Jia Cheng ran fast, and the other servants followed behind them, but they were left behind by Jia Baoyu and Jia Cheng.
Jia Baoyu took Jia Cheng and ran to the garden, where the flowers were in full bloom and filled the air with fragrance.
Jia Baoyu excitedly pointed at a flower and said to Jia Cheng, "Cheng'er, look at how beautiful that flower is. It will definitely look good when made into rouge."
Jia Cheng smiled and nodded. He was also attracted by the beautiful scenery in the garden, but he didn't want to put on rouge.
They ran and played in the garden together, enjoying the joy of childhood.
They ran to the pond and saw the goldfish in it.
The goldfish were swimming freely and were very cute. Jia Baoyu smiled and said to Jia Cheng, "Cheng'er, let's feed the goldfish together!" Jia Cheng nodded, and they took out the bread crumbs and fed them to the goldfish.
The goldfishes swam happily, opening and closing their mouths to eat the bread crumbs. It was very interesting.
Jia Cheng's maids watched his movements nervously, fearing that he might be in danger.
Zhou Ruijia smiled and tried to stop Jia Cheng's maids. "Today is the old lady's banquet. There are servants everywhere. You are busy following Master Cheng every day. You are tired. Today you can relax and have a drink with us."
Only maids were allowed to enter the inner house. Jia Cheng was now accompanied by only eight maids, and the rest of the servants were waiting in the outer courtyard.
Zhou Ruijia pulled the head maid Dongyue to prevent her from disturbing Jia Cheng and Jia Baoyu's play.
Dong Yue thought of Madam Xing's request that she must not let Third Master Cheng out of her sight, so she refused directly, "Sister Zhou, I don't have much trouble. I am willing to follow Third Master. Third Master is like a fairy boy. If I look at him a few more times, I can get some of his fairy spirit."
Seeing Dongyue following Jia Cheng closely, Zhou Ruijia was extremely angry. She made up her mind that at the worst possible moment, she could just get rid of Dongyue together with him.
She had a smile on her face, but her mind was full of vicious thoughts.
But she did not give up. She asked Jin Chuan to get some snacks, fruits and sweet soup and put them in the pavilion so that the maids could eat together while watching Jia Cheng and Jia Baoyu play.
Zhou Ruijia held a cup of water soaked in rose water in her hand and warmly invited everyone to have some snacks and drink honey water together.
"I asked you to go out and play, but you didn't go. If I asked you to eat something, but you didn't eat, then you are looking down on me." Zhou Ruijia said half-jokingly.
After hearing what Zhou Rui's wife said, the maids had no choice but to pick up the snacks and start eating. The snacks were very choking, so they could only drink the tea and honey water on the table.
There are things added to these two kinds of water. It's not harmful, but I always want to go to the toilet after drinking it.
There are three urgent things in life, and you can't hold back on them. Daylily, iris, red lotus, and wisteria are young and greedy.
Their bladders were still small, so the four of them clamped their legs together after drinking a large bowl of honey water.
Narcissus saw how pitiful they looked and knew that they couldn't hold it any longer, so she told them to run to the toilet quickly.
Mrs. Zhou Rui gave a wink to a maidservant beside Mrs. Wang, and the maidservant smartly said to take Xuancao and the other three to the toilet.
Dongyue felt something was wrong and didn't dare to eat or drink. Now there were only four maids left around Jia Cheng, and she felt uneasy.
Zhou Ruijia was so attentive today that Dongyue felt that she had bad intentions.
But before she had time to think about it, a maid ran in in a panic, "Sister Dongyue, your mother fell down, I reported it to the eldest wife, and the eldest wife asked you to go home to see her."
Dongyue panicked when she heard this. She was about to run but stopped. If she left, the only people left by Master Cheng's side would be Zhou Rui's maid who brought Jia Baoyu with her, as well as Narcissus, Rose and Hibiscus.
The little girl Mumian had a stomachache today and was staying at home to look after the house. Dongyue was quite relieved about that fierce maid, but she happened to be away today.
Dongyue was worried, but Jia Cheng let her leave with a smile. He felt Mrs. Wang's malice today and drank the fruit wine mixed with unknown drugs. He wanted to see what Mrs. Wang wanted to do.
Dongyue left, looking back every few steps. Zhou Ruijia's eyes flashed, and he seemed unusually excited.
She continued to persuade Narcissus and the others to eat fruits and snacks, and then coughed at Keren.
Jia Cheng pretended not to know their affair, and then Keren suddenly suggested playing hide-and-seek.
Jia Baoyu clapped his hands excitedly, "Okay, okay, Sister Keren, please ask Sister Zhou and the others to come and play with you."
Keren agreed with a smile, and then coaxed Jia Cheng as if he were an ignorant child, asking him to find a place to hide.
Jia Cheng agreed with red cheeks and dazed eyes, as if he was drunk, and then ran away, followed by Narcissus and Rose.
However, Zhou Ruijia grabbed Mu Jin's hand and told them to hide separately.
Keren's smile became even bigger. She then asked Jia Baoyu to blindfold himself and wait for half a cup of tea before coming to find everyone.
Jia Baoyu covered his eyes stupidly.
Keren caught up with Jia Cheng, Narcissus and Rose with a malicious smile, and said there was a hidden place where they could hide.
When we got to the fake cave, it could only accommodate two people.
Narcissus and Rose were vying to hide with Jia Cheng, and Keren agreed with a smile, as if she was compromising.
Then the cave fell silent.
Narcissus covered her stomach with her hands and looked painful. Jia Cheng knew that she was being plotted against, so he let her go to the toilet.
Narcissus was worried, so she told Qiangwei to take good care of her master and she would be back soon.
As soon as Narcissus left, Keren came quietly and said that Baoyu was walking this way, and if they didn't want to lose, they had to change places.
Jia Cheng agreed and cooperated very well.
Qiangwei followed Jia Cheng closely, but Keren seized the opportunity to trip Qiangwei, causing her to sprain her ankle.
Keren's tripping technique is a unique skill, and she has used it to eliminate many competitors.
Qiangwei sprained her ankle and couldn't walk. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Jia Cheng comforted Qiangwei, "You can find a place to hide. Sister Keren and I will hide there. She will take good care of me."
Jia Cheng was drunk and in a daze, but his mouth and teeth were clear. His eyes seemed blurry, but they were cold.
Qiangwei is young, and even though she has received training, she still doesn't know how to handle things when they arise.
She believed whatever Jia Cheng said.
Jia Cheng followed Keren to a secluded place, and when they reached a tall rockery, Keren coaxed Jia Cheng, "Brother Cheng, Baoyu likes to go into holes and look underground when he's looking for someone. You'd better find a spacious place where he can't see."
Keren stared at the top of the rockery suggestively, and Jia Cheng understood, "Then I'll climb up. It's above Baoyu's head, so he definitely can't see it."
Keren's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, and Jia Cheng also smiled at her.
