Chapter 256 Grandmother Jia 58
Chapter 256 Grandmother Jia 58
Yun Xi actually asked for help from someone knowledgeable in the mall, and the other person drew this talisman for her. The talisman is called the Repaying Favor Talisman, which can withstand three death disasters. You give me water, and I will give you three lives, as well as my tears and a treasure. It is definitely enough.
At night, Jia Baoyu was lying on the bed, groaning, and Yun Xi came to him with something.
"You are a stubborn bastard. You have brought shame to the Jia family." Yun Xi tapped his forehead unhappily.
"Humph!"
Jia Baoyu turned his head away and didn't look at Yun Xi.
Yun Xi didn't bother to pay attention to him, "This thing is for you."
As he spoke, he wiped some of the blood on his face onto the glass cup and the talisman. In front of Jia Baoyu, the two objects sank into his body and disappeared.
"I'll give you this treasure. Daiyu won't owe you anything from now on, okay?"
Jia Baoyu nodded blankly.
"Answer me seriously."
Jia Baoyu was in a state of great shock at the appearance of a true immortal. He said, "From now on, Lin Daiyu doesn't owe me anything."
"Okay, don't bother Daiyu anymore."
After Jia Baoyu finished speaking, he fell into a coma. Xu Ke thought it was because of the magic weapon, the glass cup.
When Wang hurried over, the imperial physician that Yun Xi had invited had already arrived.
"The fever was caused by an injury, but luckily it wasn't too high. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."
"Thank you, Doctor Zhang."
Lanhua gave the money and sent the person away.
Wang cried, "Mother, why did you let someone beat Baoyu again? He was raised by you. How could you have the heart to do that?"
"I let him be beaten because he grew up under my lap. If he refuses to change, I will continue beating him. I will stop when he grows up and realizes he is wrong. You will protect him, but you have to see if he has you in his heart. He only has priceless treasures in his heart, and he won't care about you, a dead pearl fish eye."
Yun Xi snorted coldly.
Wang choked, "It was just the child's careless words."
"You shouldn't make excuses for him. In his eyes, only unmarried girls are pure and clean. If a girl wants to marry, she should marry him. Other women are just dead fish eyes. All women are bad. The men in the family who study hard and seek official positions are considered "parasites" in his eyes. Without the efforts of his great-grandfather, his grandfather, his uncle, his father, and his brothers, he would have trouble eating and wearing warm clothes, let alone being a young master of the Duke's Mansion."
Yun Xi rolled her eyes and said to Xu Changqing, "Qing girl, since he looks down on everyone, the two maids around him should be transferred away from now on. They should not serve him anymore. Their embroidered leathers, jade ornaments, and gemstones should all be taken away. They should be replaced with coarse linen clothes. Also, a small kitchen should be provided for him with some coarse salt, brown flour, and rough rice. Let him adjust to the new environment."
Xu Changqing was surprised and couldn't help but look at his mother-in-law, "Ah? Grandma, is this really necessary?"
Wang's face turned pale, "Mother, you..."
"What about me? I didn't spread his words, so I saved his life. If his grandfather were still alive, he would have beaten such an unfilial person to death to prevent him from making wild remarks and harming the family." Yun Xi left, leaving Lanhua and Hehua to supervise the work.
After hearing about her grandmother's arrangement, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but say, "Grandmother is right. When drinking water, one should remember the well digger. No matter how noble one is, one should not belittle the ancestors of the Jia family. Without their hard work, we wouldn't have the prosperity we have today."
"Miss, you're right. You should stay away from such scoundrels in the future."
After Yun Xi made all the arrangements, Jia Baoyu was left with only medicine but no one to serve him.
"water!"
After waking up with a start, Jia Baoyu found that his room was much emptier. He looked down and saw that his exquisitely embroidered clothes had been replaced with coarse linen clothes, and his bedding was even more gray and unsightly.
"Where are the people? Water! I want to drink water."
Xu Changqing came with his maid.
"Brother Jue, grandmother has ordered that you live alone in this courtyard from now on. You enjoy the grace of your ancestors, but you don't think about giving back. You spend all day hanging out with women. This is truly unfilial. Since you don't like official careers and economics, then live the life of a commoner, wearing coarse linen clothes and eating simple meals." Xu Changqing paused and continued, "It will be three months. If you think things through, I will let you out. When you are released, study hard and serve the court and your family. If you don't think things through..."
Lanhua stepped forward and laughed dryly, "The old lady knows about the academy. You really shouldn't have been hanging around with Qin Zhong, making the academy such a mess. So if you can't figure it out, you have no choice but to leave the Jia family."
Jia Baoyu's pupils shrank. "How did it come to this? I just... I just..."
Looking at Lanhua's shrewd eyes, Jia Baoyu really couldn't say anything.
Xu Changqing advised, "Brother Jue, your brother Zhu is serving in another place, and you are filial to your mother. For your mother's sake, you should also work hard. Don't you want to earn an imperial edict for her?"
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Changqing shook his head, asked the maid beside him to apply medicine to Jia Baoyu again, then took his people away and locked the door outside.
Jia Baoyu felt like the sky had fallen and lay on the bed in a daze, not wanting to move.
Yun Xi asked, "He wouldn't want to throw the jade away, would he?"
System: "Without an audience, who is he falling for?"
"That's right." Yun Xi didn't care about it anymore after reading it. She just enjoyed family happiness every day and occasionally listened to Lanhua's report.
You know what, Jia Baoyu really has some ambition. He didn't eat black flour and brown rice for three days, but it was only three days.
"Auntie, auntie, Xiangyun is here."
"Xiangyun is here, please come in. This child loves to laugh, like a little heater, warming the people around her." Yun Xi said hurriedly.
With her parents by her side, Shi Xiangyun is like a little sun, outgoing, optimistic, carefree and very innocent.
"You two are here. How is your brother? Is he okay?"
Shi Xiangyun nodded, "My brother is fine now. He is no longer sick."
"That's good. I feel relieved now." Yun Xi patted her hands. "You've grown taller and whiter. It's crab season now. Come stay and have a crab feast."
"Old lady."
Lanhua came over quickly. Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "Aunt Lanhua, is there something urgent? I'm going to go play with Daiyu."
"Go ahead, eat crabs tomorrow."
Yun Xi gave a wink, and Juhua followed Shi Xiangyun to send her over.
"Aunt Juhua, why don't you see my brother Ai?" Shi Xiangyun looked around.
"Miss Shi, you and Master Jue are both grown up. After you are seven years old, you can't see each other often. Let's play with our cousin." Juhua knocked on the door of Jiyue Courtyard.
Rongqingtang
Lanhua whispered, "There's news from the front yard that the Xue family will be arriving in Beijing soon and may come to visit."
Yun Xi stroked the teacup, "Who's here?"
"Aunt Xue, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and the second son of the Xue family, I heard they want to live in Rongguo Mansion." Lanhua hesitated to speak.
"Is there something going on?"
Yun Xi looked at her.
Lanhua whispered, "In the past, I saw that the Second Madam wanted to marry Master Jue to my cousin, but now that you and Miss Min have no such intentions and are still very cautious, I sent a letter to the Xue family..."
