It was not until Daiyu gradually trembled and stopped struggling that Ming Guan let go of his hand and said, "Miss, don't shout, if you shout, you will be in trouble. Xiaoren is just borrowing this treasured place to hide, I have no intention of ruining Miss' pure reputation. "
He had just finished speaking when suddenly there was a commotion outside.
Ming Guan heard it and smiled wryly. Looking at Daiyu shivering, he said, "Would Miss please point the way, which is close to the street?"
Daiyu was scared, she sneered, "This thief seems to want to run away, but if I shout, I am afraid he will jump over the wall like a cornered dog. It would be better to point the way where he will bump into a lot of people, so that he will be arrested."
Ming Guan looked at Daiyu's expression. He knew something was wrong, but he still climbed out the window according to her directions. Very quickly he disappeared into the bamboo forest, nobody knew where he went.
Watching him walk away, Daiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Leaning on the table, she slowly sat down. Gasping for air, tears trickled down her cheeks. She was about to call Zi Juan when she heard Feng Jie's voice was getting closer, so she swallowed her voice back down her throat.
Feng Jie was escorted by a group of strong women, she lifted the curtain and came in. Seeing Daiyu's pale face, with tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, she seemed to be a bit restless. Feng Jie frowned and said, "Who scared Meimei?"
Daiyu did not have time to answer, she saw Feng Jie was speaking while sweeping her eyes around. She signaled the people behind her with her eyes, some of the women dispersed. Outside she could faintly hear someone saying, "Quickly go to each room and take a look."
Seeing this, Daiyu had some suspicions in her heart, she felt something was wrong. Wiping her tears she said, "I have always been grieving over spring and grieving over autumn, I shed several tears for Luo Hua. When Zi Juan Jiejie and the others saw me, they often thought that I have been wronged and often comforted me. After a long time, seeing me like this every day, they stopped paying attention to me. Only Feng Jiejie took it as something new. "
Feng Jie laughed and said, "When Pin 'er opens her mouth, even gongs and drums want to worship her Shifu. You are crazy with teasing, several days ago you were so embarrassed that Bao Chai ran away. Not enough, you even teased yourself. "
At this time, an old woman suddenly ran in and whispered something in Sister Feng's ear. When Sister Feng heard this, she smiled and said, "Well, so you came to visit your younger sister. That's why I heard that your disappointing second brother, Lian, is back. I'll go look for him. I won't look at you."
Sister Feng and her men left in a hurry. Zi Juan asked, "Did Miss call for me just now?"
Daiyu asked, "Feng jiejie is like this. What's going on in the mansion?"
Zi Juan looked left and right, then walked over and said softly: "Just now, I heard a little girl say that one of the male performers in the mansion ran away. Master Zhen and Young Master Rong from the East Mansion were so angry that they chased after him, saying that he ran all the way here. Everyone in the garden was a womenfolk. If any of them were disturbed, it would be bad news if word got out. As soon as I finished listening to the little girl, Second Young Mistress Lian came over to search. "
Daiyu asked again, "Why did you run away?"
Zi Juan hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly: "Regarding the East House, running away is unavoidable. It's because of those people and things. "As she said this, she secretly smiled and pretended to wipe her mouth with a handkerchief.
She meant that her mouth was dirty.
Daiyu listened without saying anything. She understood: Ning Guo Mansion's reputation had long been stinky. Who didn't know? Even those who were raised in the boudoir had heard a little bit of dirty and stinky.
Daiyu was worried about her reputation and integrity. She also worried about the rumors. She could only keep it in her heart and did not mention it to anyone else.
If people knew that the performer that the masters were fighting over ran to her boudoir, what kind of person would she become?
Even if that performer ran to the Grand View Garden, it was something that should not be said.
If people outside were to say one thing about the Jia family, it would be ten times worse. Could those people have anything good to say to her, an orphan who was living with them?
However, a few days later, there was a rumor that a father and a brother in the East Mansion were fighting over a performer. It was also vaguely hinted that the male performer ran to the Grand View Garden where the young ladies of the Jia family lived. It was unknown whether the sisters and brothers shared the same room.
Daiyu was not supposed to know these things, but the servants of the Jia family never kept anything from them.
Even the Grand View Garden, which Baoyu called 'a quiet place for daughters', was rumored.
Bao Chai was clever. She immediately made an excuse and moved back to the other courtyard. After all, she was only a relative living in temporary residence. Her family still had brothers, sisters, and uncles, so no one dared to say anything.
The housekeepers of the two manors investigated, but they did not know which family the rumor came from. Later, they found out that the men and servants in the mansion were drinking wine with prostitutes. The masters and servants, after receiving a few hundred taels of silver, took the dirty and stinky things in the mansion as entertainment and told others about it!
Even though Mother Jia was furious and almost fainted from anger, she could do nothing about it.
Baoyu had always been muddle-headed, but his heart was clever. He said to Daiyu, "I always feel like I'm living on a piece of rotten wood."
Daiyu had always been clever. When she heard those words, she thought of the various disturbances a few days ago. She was so sad and angry that her whole body trembled. She lay on the bed and cried. She said to Baoyu, "You are a man, but you're living on a piece of rotten wood. I am a woman, but I'm living on a piece of rotten wood. "
After she finished speaking, she covered her face and wept, no longer listening to Baoyu.
Baoyu was stunned for a moment, speechless. He went to find Tanchun.
Concubine Zhao had just scolded Tanchun, "The young girls are in the garden all day long, no one is allowed to enter. They don't even take care of their own brothers, as if they're very clean. Look, what's left! "
Tanchun was crying loudly for herself and for the Jia family. Seeing Baoyu come in, the two siblings shed tears.
Although the few of them were noble young ladies and gongzi, they lived in the beautiful silk bushes. Their food, clothing, and daily necessities all depended on the Jia family. They had no right to speak about the Jia family's masters and the moral conduct of those in charge.
Even if they were dissatisfied, there was nothing they could do.
In the end, Baoyu was even more reluctant to go outside. He despised the men outside even more, he would rather spend his days in the Grand View Garden, this kind of 'women's land'.
Daiyu was angry at her uncle's family for being so useless. Thinking about the Jia family's situation, the internal affairs were rotten day by day like this. It had not reached the point where there was no one to replace the yellow, but even the women in the boudoir like them were about to be infected.
Er Bei's maternal grandmother, Baoyu, and herself were also part of the Jia family's glory and glory.
San Ai was a pure and quiet woman. Even if she lived in the Grand View Garden, she still could not escape the world's slander. In the end, the Grand View Garden was not the 'pure and quiet woman' that Baoyu spoke of.
Her anger was stifled in her heart, she shed tears. After a long time, she fell ill from anger.
When Du Er came to visit her, she only looked at the bamboo forest outside the window with tears in her eyes. Du Er could only smile bitterly, "Daiyu, you're so smart, you're like the Second Young Lady Tanchun in your residence. Although you're intelligent and shrewd, sometimes you can't see the big picture from small details. You know whether I'm saying this or not, it's just that … "
She sighed and touched Daiyu's head, "I'll say it again, if there's a way, you … should make a plan early!"
After a long while, Daiyu turned her head and took out the 'Song of the Burial of Flowers' that she had made some time ago. She recited it once, with traces of tears, her sickly face was cold, "What plan? It's just 'the original purity comes and goes, it's better than the filth in the ditch.' "
When Du Er heard this, she felt sad for no reason, "You … you're younger than me by two years." As she said this, she shed tears too.
When it came to the sad part, she only cared about consoling Daiyu and forgot what she wanted to say.
After half a month, this storm slowly dissipated, but it was still active in the leisure time of the people in the capital.
