Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

In the Rong Mansion, Mrs. Wang shook her hand, and the tea bowl fell on the table.

"What? Did someone see this with their own eyes?" Her voice was sharp, with a little disbelief, and she looked at Aunt Xue who was sitting opposite.

"Yes, I heard from Pan'er. You also know that he is often outside, and his eyes and ears are better. When I came back last night, I told me that I was in a trance because I saw Mingyan, the servant next to Baoyu. He disappeared before he looked carefully. Yes, it looks like it's going to the palace."

Aunt Xue was also puzzled, and said: "Why do you say that if he doesn't come back, let people go to the palace?"

Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling angry: "If this is true, why don't you go home now that you're back? Don't say send a letter? The elders in the family are kept in the dark, is there any old lady in his eyes?" Master?!"

If you want to say why she was so angry, more than half of it was because of a guilty conscience. Her idea was to carry the empresses out of the palace, and then wait for Baoyu to come back to force the marriage. In the end, he entered the city quietly, making her feel that he had I knew her plan so I hid.

Will Baoyu disobey her?It seemed that he had never heard his own words since he was a child, and he could handle everything by himself without her saying anything.

Will he listen to her about this important event in his life?

... Every time she thinks of this, she doesn't want to go on.

Listening to Shuang Chuixue, Baoyu is making people prepare to go back to the palace, and he is entering the palace.

Yesterday morning, Mingyan went to the city to see the mansion, and when he came back, he said that it had already been built, and it looked very majestic from the outside!Two brand-new stone lions squat on both sides, and you can still see the blue-black eaves raised high on the roof of the tallest building in the mansion, like eagle wings flying high.

He asked Mingyan to bring a letter to Shui Rong, so Shui Rong let him enter the palace the next day.In fact, there is nothing to say, just talk about this lifelong event and the appointment of a new official.

Today is a rare good weather, although the wind is still a bit cold, but there is a big sun shining on the body, black and heat-absorbing, so it is very warm and comfortable.

Baoyu was walking on the long palace road, and after coming here a few times, he was probably familiar with the road. He came here when the morning court was off, and only came in when the ministers had dispersed.

It didn't take long to arrive at Chongzheng Hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw Shui Hong was laughing with Shui Rong, he didn't know what interesting things they said, when he saw him coming, he smiled and waved.

"Why are you so happy?" He found a chair and sat down and asked.

Shui Hong smiled and said, "There is a good thing, Ah Rong said that the paddock and the Furong Garden are almost finished."

"Really?" He said in amazement, "Hasn't it only been a year? That's a big project, how come it's finished so quickly?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "At first, the first emperor started to repair it a few years before his death, and then stopped for three years when he encountered the National Filial Piety. This is a year. In addition, the national treasury is quite rich, so it is not surprising that the repair was completed so quickly." So That's true, Baoyu nodded.

Shui Hong said happily: "There is still some finishing work left, I asked them to expand the garden several times, and after Ah Rong got married in June, we will live there together."

Baoyu also looked forward to it.

"...The Daming Palace will take more time, but if the Furong Garden is repaired, there will be more people there." Shui Hong has a strange enthusiasm for the Daming Palace, "It will probably be ready next year."

Baoyu is helpless, isn't this emperor really a faint king?Look at his love for this garden!

"Your majesty," he said, "Yesterday I sent people to see, my mansion has been repaired?" Shui Hong took a sip of tea to calm down, and said with a smile, "Well, I have chosen that mansion for you a long time ago. , Kanyu map has already been given to Ah Rong, why don't you send more people to the craftsmen with him!"

Only then did Baoyu realize that it was no wonder that the workers had already begun to break ground when he went to look at it, and the design was quite in line with his heart.

"Then I would like to thank the emperor!" He smiled and bowed to Shui Hong and Shui Rong.

They waved his hands to tell him not to do this, and Shui Rong said: "By the way, how is Xiao Yu'er? Do you know..."

Seeing his hesitation, Baoyu knew what he was talking about, so she smiled and said, "She is all right, and let me thank you for the gift!"

"Then... did you tell her..." Shui Rong looked at him.

"Well... of course there isn't." He smiled slightly, "Such a trivial matter, if you talk about it, it will only affect your mood. If I can solve it, I won't let her worry about it."

Shui Hong sighed and smiled at Shui Rong: "Look, I'll just tell you!... Sure enough, I know. Then what are you going to do?"

Baoyu said sternly: "Even my future father-in-law doesn't know about this matter. In fact, I thought about it before I came back this time, and discussed it with them. I want to ask the emperor to grant us a marriage."

After hearing this, Shuihong said, "What's so difficult about it? I promise you it will be." This is a good way to get rid of the fire once and for all.

He paused and said again: "But... will it be like this as soon as you come back? Is it a little early?" This person has just been appointed as an official, and he has not made an inch of merit, so he is asking for such a great grace?Although he won't say anything, the people below are not sure.

Originally, he was promised to be a high-ranking official at a young age, and many people secretly refused to accept it, and planned to give him a good look. If he was given a marriage immediately...

Baoyu, who he was worried about, could naturally think of it. Seeing him frowning, he said: "Of course not so fast. I think it will take a year or so before I can do something. Otherwise, I don't have the confidence to do it, and you can't do it." .As for the wedding date, let’s talk about it, it doesn’t matter if it’s two years later.”

Only then did Shui Hong stretch his brows, and couldn't help feeling that Baoyu was sensible, and he smiled more warmly: "I also mean the same thing, but I will make you wait for two more years. Don't worry, I will meet you when the time is right." The one who gave the marriage is just how do you deal with it at home?"

"I'll find a way to delay it," he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when he thought of this, "They can't force me if I don't agree anyway, besides, since the house is built, I'll move in today and tomorrow, pack up and get ready to take office, I don't have time Take care of them."

"It's fine if you have your own ideas, and we can't help you." Shuihong wanted to laugh, he finally encountered some problems, and he didn't understand Baoyu's mother, what's so good about a daughter of a declining imperial merchant?Why do you have to force your son to marry?In comparison, Daiyu is the daughter of a second-rank official, so even a fool knows how to choose!

However, he couldn't take care of other people's family affairs, he just said: "Since you want to move in, let the Ministry of Industry send the waiters there quickly, and come to work after you settle down."

Baoyu responded and said that he was going out, and that he would invite Shui Rong to have a feast after packing up, and the three said goodbye.

When Baoyu left the palace, Shuihong sighed to Shui Rong: "Oh, pity him, he has been in front of us for so many years, and he still has to wait for a long time to eat."

Shui Rong also smiled: "That can't be helped. Who made his family confused? His father is too. Such a big matter is left to the women to fiddle around, and the elders don't know what to do every day." .” Shui Hong raised an eyebrow.

After Baoyu left the palace, he took a car all the way back to Rongfu. At this time, the mansion was already in chaos.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu first heard that Mingyan was waiting for the boys to enter the mansion, so she hurriedly called someone to come over and ask, but as soon as Mingyan came in, she knelt down and said, "Old lady, the second master asked the boys to pack up." , the new mansion has been repaired, and it will be a hassle to move there!" Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were caught off guard.

Listening to the noise outside, it was Baoyu's boys who were opening the warehouse in his yard, moving things out and loading cars!

Mrs. Wang felt that Baoyu must be against her. She was so angry that she rose to heaven, pointed at Mingyan, and cursed: "You damn slave! Why didn't the second master come and tell us? You are not allowed to move! When he comes back, I will ask Ask yourself!"

Mingyan didn't panic, just kowtowed on the ground, and said: "Mrs. Mingjian! The second master was sent to the palace early in the morning by the Holy Majesty. That's what he told the servant when he left. The servant is only following orders, please forgive me!"

The people outside are all Baoyu's, so naturally they won't be intimidated by Mrs. Wang's few words, and they are still moving in full swing.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her hands trembled when she heard the words: "Okay, okay! You brought out the emperor to suppress me! I have really grown up, and I am capable! Come here! Take that..."

Before she finished speaking, she was frightened back by Mother Jia's yell: "Shut up! Second daughter-in-law, are you out of your mind?! The emperor also allowed you to make irresponsible remarks?! Shut up now!"

Mrs. Wang held her handkerchief and gritted her teeth and remained silent, and Aunt Xue did not speak.

Mother Jia sighed in her heart, and after a moment of silence she said to Mingyan, "Just do as Second Master tells you."

At that time Baochai Tanchun was also there, and since Yingchun left, there seemed to be a little silence between them, Tanchun couldn't help thinking about his own lifelong affairs, Xichun was immersed in Buddhism day by day, but Baochai was single-minded. To please Jia Mu, hoping to persuade Jia Mu to persuade Baoyu.

But seeing Jia Mu's attitude at this time made her feel cold, she was angry and powerless, and more of a grievance.Tanchun also sneered in his heart, knowing that Baoyu would not do what they wanted.Xichun is none of my business.

Since Jia Lian's family left the house, Mrs. Xing didn't care about the affairs here. She just settled down in the morning and evening every day, and then went back to the west.Not present at this time.

Li Wan had given up fighting at this time, seeing that Baoyu had become famous, he had long since given up on being here, and now he was only raising Jia Lan wholeheartedly, hoping that he could study and become an official. As for who Baoyu married, it had nothing to do with her mother and son.

When the mood in the room was low, another girl came in and said that Second Master Bao was back!

As soon as the words fell, Baoyu lifted the curtain and came in by himself. With a smile on his face, he greeted the elders present one by one as if he didn't know it, and asked Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang how they were doing and how they were doing. How, do you have a cold or something? It's very natural.

Then he greeted Aunt Xue, Li Wan, and even asked Jia Lan how he was studying recently.Finally, he turned around and asked about Baochai Tanchun and others, but none of them were answered.

Jia Mu answered them one by one with a smile, and then asked him if there was any accident along the way, and how Lin Ruhai and Daiyu were doing.

Mrs. Wang was not so well-mannered, her face looked as if she had smeared her face, she was tense and did not speak, but Aunt Xue forced a smile to answer a few words.

Baoyu didn't seem to see Mrs. Wang's face. After talking about the cold and warm, he returned to the main topic and said with a smile: "This time I came back to say hello to the old ancestor's wife. The appointment will not be short. Now that I am back, I will Hurry up and take office."

"I asked Mingyan to take a look at it yesterday. The new house has already been built. Today, the emperor and the prince also told me to move in quickly and prepare for business. I was in a hurry to get someone to prepare it, so I didn't bother to say it in advance. Please forgive me, old lady."

What she said was impeccable, and Mother Jia had nothing to blame.

Said you moved without saying hello?I'm sorry, I just found out what the emperor meant.

So you can't move in a few days?How about spending a few more days with your family?Hehe, the emperor asked me to hurry up, so I can't delay, right?It's been two months!

So she smiled softly and kindly: "What's the matter? Naturally, what the emperor ordered must be done quickly. But how long will you be moving? How many days can you stay at home?"

Baoyu knew that this blocked them, so he smiled more happily: "All the things over there are ready-made, so there is not much to move, so I took the things piled up in the warehouse and used them on weekdays. Just move things like pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and it will be ready tomorrow. Stay one more night tonight and leave tomorrow.”

"Tomorrow is so fast?" Mrs. Wang finally couldn't help but opened her mouth, her tone was quite stiff, "Even if the emperor is in a hurry, you don't have to rush like this, do you?"

Baoyu still smiled impeccably, without even moving the muscles on his face, "It's not too fast, I'm going to command the envoy the day after tomorrow. We have to buy servants again, and when everything is settled, it’s time to prepare a banquet for the officials in the capital.”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Mrs. Wang to say anything else, she turned her head to Baochai and the others and said with a smile: "I'll ask someone to pick up Sister Bao, the third sister and the fourth sister, and let's have a lively and lively time together, and then visit my new house!"

He smiled very sincerely and friendly, which made Baochai's heart that had just cooled down warm up again, and said with a smile: "Since it is brother Bao's kindness, then we will just wait."

Mrs. Wang suffocated, and it was not easy to have a fit in front of Jia Mu, so she had to suffocate herself to death.
