Chapter 139 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 2
After Baoyu left, Qingwen was dazed and seemed to see an acquaintance. She tried to raise her head and saw Nan Xi.
Nan Xi fed Qingwen the medicine and waited for her to wake up.
Qingwen only felt relieved and her mind became clear.
"Xueyan, why are you here? Did Miss Lin ask you to come and see me?"
Qingwen sat up and found that the pain she had suffered for the past few days had healed. She touched her head in surprise and found that the headache was gone.
"My dear sister, what did you just give me to eat? How come I got better all of a sudden?"
Nan Xi sat on the bedside and touched Qingwen's hand. "Now that you're well, where do you want to go in the future?"
Qingwen smiled bitterly. This time after she fell ill, she had seen clearly that her brother and sister-in-law were unreliable. The clothes and jewelry that Xiren had secretly sent her had been taken away by her sister-in-law.
Baoyu was also irresponsible. He was wronged that day. If he had not been sick, he would not have been bullied like that. But Baoyu never said a word.
“I have nowhere to go.”
Qingwen's eyes turned red and tears kept falling.
Nan Xi asked: "Are you still thinking about Baoyu?"
Qingwen shook her head. "There is no possibility for him and me. Madam can't tolerate me, and I have given up on him."
Qingwen thought of Daiyu having Zhuangzi, so she immediately knelt down and said to Nan Xi.
"Good sister, please ask Miss Lin to take me in. I am willing to follow her and be her embroiderer. My craftsmanship is quite good."
Nan Xi helped Qingwen up and said, "Qingwen, I came here just to ask you, are you willing to go to our lady's farm?"
"I am willing! As long as the girl is willing to take me in, I will do my best to repay her kindness."
Nan Xi nodded. Qingwen was a good girl, so she was willing to rescue her.
The two of them packed up their things, got on a carriage and went to Daiyu's farm, and Qingwen stayed there with peace of mind.
She was also educated, and she would often read the miscellaneous books that Nan Xi sent her. Unconsciously, she became more similar to Daiyu.
On weekdays, Qingwen took charge of making all of Daiyu's clothes, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to her job as an embroiderer.
Nan Xi also got a few pieces of clothes from her, all of which were made with great care. Nan Xi was very happy that her efforts were not in vain.
Daiyu was also very emotional. At that time, Qingwen was the most proud person around Baoyu. When Qingwen tore the fan, Baoyu had to flatter her and said that the sound she made was nice.
Fortunately, Qingwen's life was saved, which is also a blessing.
Not long after, the Jia family welcomed a happy event. Jia She promised Yingchun to Sun Yaozu, the current commander of the Sun family.
Nan Xi looked at the well-behaved Yingchun and felt sorry for her. This Sun Yaozu was the Zhongshan Wolf, and Yingchun was beaten to death by him later.
Daiyu and others were happy for Yingchun. Yingchun had grown up, and it was just right for her to get married now.
Nan Xi silently took out a novel and placed it on Daiyu's desk.
After finishing reading the novel, Daiyu suddenly thought of Yingchun.
"Xueyan, do you think that our blind marriage will lead to something like what we see in novels?"
Nan Xi nodded quickly, "Of course I will. You can only know a person's face but not his heart."
Daiyu suddenly became worried, "What should I do?"
Nan Xi suggested, "We can ask around."
Daiyu clapped her hands in agreement and immediately asked Lin Zhi to check.
When the result came out, Daiyu was immediately furious. "I didn't expect my uncle to be such a person. For five thousand taels of silver, he would disregard the happiness of his own daughter."
Nan Xi nodded in agreement. Jia She was a strange person. He had indeed been treated unfairly, but he was not a gentleman and it was hard to sympathize with him.
Take Shi Daizi's fan for example. For a few fans, he caused other people's families to be ruined. It's really disgusting.
Daiyu thought about it and took Nanxi to see Fengjie. This matter was a matter of the eldest wife's family and had some interests with Fengjie, so it would be better to let Fengjie take care of it.
After hearing this, Fengjie was really concerned. Although she didn't care about Yingchun's marriage, if something happened in the future, it would also affect Qiaojie, and she would never allow it.
When Daiyu returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she met the haggard Xiangling. At this time, Xue Pan had already married Xia Jingui, and Xiangling's life became difficult. She came this time to tell Daiyu that she might not have time to study in the future.
Nan Xi looked at Xiangling with red eyes and said to Daiyu.
"Miss, I have heard of an old story. The master once made an agreement with a Mr. Zhen to come and teach you. But later something happened to his family, so he never came."
Xiangling saw Xueyan staring at her and didn't understand what this matter had to do with her, but Daiyu knew that Xueyan would not say anything irrelevant.
"What happened next? Why did the Zhen family break the contract?"
"I heard that the young lady of the Zhen family went missing when she went out. Her name was Yinglian, and she had a red mole on her forehead, just like Xiangling."
"After the Zhen family lost their daughter, Mr. Zhen could not find her and left home, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Zhen's mother lives on her parents' side, and her life is very poor. It is said that she has not given up the search yet."
Xiangling was shocked when she heard this. She didn't remember her parents, and her heart was broken when she heard this, and she burst into tears.
Daiyu asked curiously, "Xueyan, where did you hear that?"
Nan Xi had already thought of an excuse, "The last time I went to the village, I heard Lin Zhi's mother say that she is still in contact with her hometown and mentioned this old story."
Daiyu became excited after hearing this, "This red mole is a sign to find someone. Maybe you, Xiangling, are really Aunt Zhen's daughter?"
Xiangling nodded and knelt down to Daiyu, "Miss, help me, I really can't live anymore."
It turned out that Xia Jingui was an intolerant person with a bad temper and was unruly. Xiangling suffered a lot at her hands.
Xiangling had never heard of the Zhen family affairs before, so she could only endure it and live one day at a time.
Now that she knew the clues to her life story, she actually felt hopeful. She also wanted to ask Zhen's mother if she was her Yinglian.
Daiyu helped Xiangling up and said, "Now that I know about this, I must take care of it. Besides, you are my student in name only."
Nan Xi changed Daiyu's clothes, and the three of them went to Xue's house to visit Aunt Xue.
Aunt Xue was very surprised. Daiyu seldom went out in the past, and even less often came to the Xue family. Yet she actually came to visit today. She didn't know why.
"Aunt, I came here today to ask for a favor."
Daiyu came straight to the point and stated her intention directly.
"Xiangling and I hit it off right away and became good friends. She had taken me as her teacher a while ago, and we were both teachers and friends.
Now that the Xue family has welcomed a new bride, we haven't seen each other for a few days, so I want to redeem her, and I ask my aunt to give her up."
Aunt Xue looked at Xiangling and felt a little unhappy when she saw that she seemed to have just cried.
But since Daiyu had asked, she couldn't refuse. She also didn't want to offend Daiyu for the sake of a maid.
Just as she was about to agree, Baochai came.
