Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Considering that Zhen's family would be raided, and that Lian'er probably knew Yinquan's identity, Baoyu quietly approached Lian'er for a sincere talk, using the so-called "teacher's information" to analyze the situation in the court, and asked "casually" if he wanted to marry him after going around for a long time. Reconsider Baochai's marriage.

Lian Er had already thought it through, and said with a smile: "Yinquan's surname is Liu, a grass-roots man, and he is trying to get a job. Brother Pan has already agreed, and his mother is also persuaded, but she insists on waiting for our good uncle to arrive in the capital. It will be decided later. If this matter fails in the end, our financial line will have to be rearranged. I don't have much to say in front of Uncle Wang, so I have to rely on you."

Baoyu snorted coldly: "You should do your best. I'm just worried that the second uncle will give Baochai to the rich and powerful as concubines for his own sake. Although the concubine's natal family is not considered a serious relative, once the power is defeated, Xue's family will still suffer catastrophe. Let us You have to do more preparations.”

Lian Er sighed: "What else can I do? Let's work hard to help small businesses. Fortunately, Jin Rong, Hua Zifang, Cheng Rixing, and Liu Guodong can still support them, and they have Yun'er to help. It's just that there are too many threads and it's tiring. , you should also share some."

Baoyu thought about it for a moment, and said, "You can't lose the family school. If there is nothing important in our family, we can rely on the family school to turn it into a scholarly home. Although Mingyan is young, I brought it out, and you can use it first as my substitute. Err , he is used to partnering with Sao Hong, so he also brought it with him."

It is said that after the servant was released in the deed document, he would not use the name he had when he was a slave. The servants released by the second master Bao were different.

Lian Er knew the virtue of Baoyu's old servant, and he hesitated to say, "Moyu has been given to Xianglian. Can you just leave one of them to hoe medicine?"

Baoyu doesn't understand brotherhood, but he actually understands it, but he intends to implement the 21st century company law in ancient times. It is common for employees to change departments and bosses.You have to get used to him!So he waved his hands and said: "You have to train new people. Ban'er is very clever, Qian Qi is reliable, and adding hoe medicine, it's okay for the time being. By the way, what does Xue Biao say?"

Xue Biao is Pan Dadai's first cousin, and his father is ambitious to start a business on his own, and he is the only member of the Xue family who has not feuded with the main branch.In the original book, Xue Biao sent his younger sister Xue Baoqin to Beijing to get married, and sadly got entangled with his cousin who committed endless crimes.For a long time, Fake Stone wanted to get the little scalper to be a coolie, but he followed his father to run business all over the world, and even ran to the sea, so he couldn't catch him.Fortunately last year, Tada's father died of illness. Xue Biao sent the coffin back to Jinling to be buried with his deceased mother. There is no saying that merchants are not allowed to go out during the three-year filial piety period (if so many business opportunities are missed, the whole family will go to the northwest wind). The oxen came to the capital, but it has not been completed until today.

Lian Er shook his head and said: "Don't think that Xue Biao is one year younger than Brother Pan. I heard that it is very successful. His family has no ready-made business in the capital, but his sister's in-law's family is in Beijing. From his tone, I am afraid he will come at the end of next year. In the next year, Baoqin will be a filial piety, just in time for Jifa to marry. After marrying his sister, he has his own business to take care of, so why would he stay in the capital, don't expect too much. But you, have you got married yet?"

Baoyu smiled bitterly and was speechless. He once told Mrs. Wang that he had a showdown with the old lady and would not marry Daiyu, and was reprimanded by Mrs. Wang with great reason, but the core meaning was "It's okay for me to be a daughter-in-law. Don’t want to get the old lady’s private house in the future.”He really wanted to say that he didn't care about that private house, but he screwed Mrs. Wang, and he offended two bosses with one guy, and he was in a difficult situation immediately, and it might cause something serious, so he had to bite the bullet and endure.

Lian Er checked her face and whispered: "The old lady loves Cousin Lin, and she is reluctant to let her go to someone else's house, so she insisted. From my point of view, your mother may not be unwilling, maybe she just doesn't want the old lady to easily get what she wants. It's up to you what do you think?" ?”

Baoyu was slightly startled, for a moment she was really unsure of Mrs. Wang's plans, and said for a while, "My first cousins ​​get married, and the children they give birth to are many with congenital deficiencies, and even fools. Don't believe me, I checked. Just don't spread this word, no one will believe it. Many of my cousins ​​have given birth to healthy children. I don’t want to take any chances. If the one I marry in the end is really Cousin Lin, I don’t plan to have children. Remember what I said to you? I’m not afraid of breaking your taboo, Jiang Ge’er Qiao’s sister must be Your own flesh and blood, adopt to me, I will cherish it."

Lian Er's face darkened, and he forced a smile and said, "Young Hu Lie, if you don't want a concubine, then you will have a good concubine. I am not afraid of your jokes. My son has no noble to attack, and the son of no noble will just share the family wealth in the future. , We both have more money in the dark than in the open, and I can give it to whoever I want, so there is no need to worry about it. I really don't get along with your cousin Feng, and I will take a good concubine in the future."

Baoyu's heart sank. If the second sister You is accepted, there will be endless troubles.Immediately said: "We are brothers who share weal and woe. I hope you have someone who loves you. The only thing is, don't leave the first and last when taking a concubine. To put it bluntly, if she is a married woman, her ex-husband will definitely get married if she is married. Marry someone else first. If you trust me, then I will help you close the head and tail, and I don’t worry about others.”

Lian Er was dissatisfied and said: "When you are a brother, you are a dizzy person? A good concubine must find a girl with a clean family background, so there will be trouble with that screwdriver? You should think more about yourself, the second wife and the old lady love you so much, You're not Cheng Siding, and you've taken a liking to him, so how can you not follow you if you act like a spoiled child?"

Baoyu didn't dare to think about such a good thing, Jiner thought it was okay to think about it, vaguely that he really hadn't worked hard for marriage, since he had to marry, and marrying anyone would be harmful, why not marry a girl who didn't have much to do with himself, and bring It is also convenient to escape.

After talking about this matter for only a few days, Mother Jia got excited again and decided to take all the children to Qingxu Temple to have a funeral.

"Dajiao" means that Taoist priests set up altars to practice deeds for people, praying for blessings and avoiding disasters.It happened that Sister Feng hadn't recovered from her weather illness on her birthday. The doctor who saw the doctor was an authentic imperial physician, who said that Lian's second grandmother was "very depressed", that is, she had a heart disease, and she couldn't get better by taking medicine alone. If the depression did not dissipate, she would continue The disease is crooked, hindering the life expectancy.

Mother Jia understood the source of depression, and felt that the younger generation looked down on her too much. If she was depressed even if something happened to her, she would have been pissed off by the boss!So he ordered Mrs. Wang to take over the housekeeping, and took all the children and Sister Feng to have a wedding and relax.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the sun was shining brightly, and there were many cars and sedan chairs and crowds of people and horses in front of Rongfu.

Jia's mother took a sedan chair for eight people, Mrs. Xing took a four-person sedan chair, and Li Wan accompanied Sister Feng, Jiang Geer and nurse Zixiao in a green-covered Zhuying car (Sister Feng was too heartbroken to allow Jiang Geer to leave half a step, and she had to leave every now and then. before her eyes).Behind it is the Zhulun Babao chariot in which Daiyu Baochai of Xiangyun rides, and the Molun canopy chariot in which Tanchun Xichun and her sister Qiao ride.Then there are the mule carts of the accompanying mothers, maids and daughters-in-law. Each master has no less than eight servants, and each mule cart can only seat four or five people. The length of the team can be imagined.

So many female relatives go out, accompanied by two or three hundred guards, the leader is Baoyu, and the second wife is Liu Xianglian.Lian Er was fired by Jia's mother. The dead boy doesn't know how to love his daughter-in-law.

Of course, two young masters alone are not enough. Jia Zhen brought the direct descendants of the Ning Mansion and the descendants of the nearby branches to take care of various matters first. The boys had some good feelings and allowed them to work hard.

Now that Baoyu has passed the test on horseback, he rides with Wang Baner, a bright light bulb, in order to dispel the mist when encountering embarrassing things.Liu Xianglian walked to the left, followed by Hoe Yao, Qian Qi, Zhang Ruojin and others.

Qingxu Temple is located in the suburbs of Kyoto, and it will arrive soon.Zhang Shenxian led all the Taoist priests to greet him on the side of the road, and Jia Zhen led the children of the clan to greet him.

The first one to enter the mountain gate was Jiamu's big sedan chair. As soon as she entered, she saw the luxurious altar, and Jiamu ordered to live in the sedan chair.

Mrs. Xing's sedan chair is still outside the mountain gate, and Yuanyang and other maids are behind. Baoyu dismounts from the horse and goes to help Jiamu get off the sedan chair.Later in the original book, the little Taoist priest who bumped into Sister Feng stumbled and ran towards him, and was immediately entangled in Liu Xianglian's horsewhip and thrown aside, scaring the little Taoist priest to scream "Aw".

Mother Jia hurriedly asked, and when she got the report, she repeatedly said, "Don't bluff him", and asked Jia Zhen to bring the little Taoist over.The little Taoist was so frightened that he trembled all over. Jia's mother comforted her for a while, and then asked Jia Zhen to give the little Taoist a few hundred dollars to buy fruit to eat.

Baoyu sighed secretly in her heart. Speaking of Jia Mu, she was a good person. She took pity on the poor, cherished the weak, and treated her servants with sincerity. But such a person could not communicate with her.

"Daojiao" is said to pray for blessings, but in fact it is to enjoy the scenery, watch operas and have fun, try vegetarian food for a change, and donate silver to Guanli by the way.As for whether the Taoist priests will disperse and how many disperse, those who pray for blessings don't ask.

The wives, grandmas, and girls of the Rong Mansion arrived, and the Qingxu Temple had already driven out the idlers, especially the women's house was directly opposite the altar building, and there was not even a Taoist priest, and they were served by their own servants inside and out.

Baoyu sent Jia's mother upstairs and then left, saying that she was going to see if the arrangements were in order.

When he went outside, he saw Jia Zhen standing on the steps and addressing Lin Zhixiao: "...choose a few more young children to serve on the second floor door and the corner doors on both sides. They are in charge of passing on messages and are an idler." You are not allowed to come here..."

Lin Zhixiao answered "yes" repeatedly, Jia Zhen raised her leg and was about to leave after giving the order, then asked again, "Where is Rong'er?"

Jia Rong was right in front of her, and rushed over when she heard the sound.Jia Zhen raised her eyes and said, "I haven't rested yet, so you should stay away!" Turning her head around, she ordered the servant next to her to spit on Jia Rong and ask him what she had said.The servant did not dare to disobey the order, and spat at Jia Rong with a mouthful of thick phlegm: "Master is still busy, why are you slacking off?" .

Jia Zhen probably felt it was an eyesore, and scolded: "Standing for nothing? Hurry up and call your mother and daughter-in-law over! The old lady and the girls are here, tell them to come and serve!"

Jia Rong turned around and ran away as if she had received an amnesty.Jia Zhen snorted, and Shi Shi ran in with her hands behind her back.

Baoyu stood silent. He had seen Jia She treat Lian Er fiercely, and it was the first time he had seen Jia Zhenxunzi.Although it is mentioned in the original book, the big story is about how Jia Zheng opened his mouth to scold Shenying's waiter, and Jia Zhen's actions caught the eye and did not enter the mind.It will be seen that Mr. Zheng scolded his son for some reason, and Mr. Zhen was just looking for trouble for nothing, just to show his old man's prestige.Can this teach my son well?You can only teach a rebellious son who is obedient and obedient!

Seeing him in a daze, Liu Xianglian ran over and asked, "So what's wrong with being blindfolded?"

Baoyu didn't know what to say, she looked at serious problems, the ancients probably thought it was normal, and beating and scolding their sons for nothing seemed to be the norm in aristocratic families.Immediately forced a smile and said: "Remembering the matter of exorcising evil spirits back last time, my father treated me well. Have you seen what happened just now? You have a son, so don't treat my nephew like this."

Liu Xianglian laughed and blushed, thinking that her daughter-in-law might be peeking at her upstairs.

At this time, Ban'er ran over: "Uncle Bao, the little Yaoer at the entrance of the stairs sent a message that the old lady called you to order a show."

Baoyu frowned, and Liu Xianglian pushed him with a smile: "The most difficult thing to bear is beauty's kindness, brother can't save you, go quickly!"

A certain one looked back and punched a certain bad friend, and went to the main building in a dull mood.He will pretend to be a ghost to "break" the colorful stones, which is also related to the temple. Zhang Laodao was a monk as a substitute for Rong Guogong. "Tao" doesn't like to come, and he doesn't like to come, because Zhang Laodao likes to ask for "psychic gems" to give "far-away Taoist friends and disciples and grandchildren to see".Now that the five-colored stone is "broken", there is no such worry, but Zhang Laodao still likes to plot. This matter was mentioned in the original work, and he was a matchmaker for Shenying's waiter, but was declined by Jia Mu.I'm afraid that the old things will repeat here, Mother Jia is not happy, and Mrs. Wang is afraid that she will take care of her, but Mr. Zhang is rich and powerful, so don't make a big trouble.

Baoyu led the board upstairs, Tanchun and Xichun took Qiaojie downstairs, followed by the maid who carried the basin and held the scarf.

When Xichun saw their little faces brighten up, she muttered to one side—ordering a play is different from watching a play at home, not everyone who ordered is served, but after everyone ordered, they put them in front of the gods to "enjoy the play".Of course, this is just a trick, like today, the plays that Sister Feng ordered will definitely be "selected by the gods", and the rest will be picked for fun unless there is no special designation. Xichun will drag a few more people to order her favorite plays.

Baoyu smiled and continued to climb the stairs.When I went upstairs, I saw Zhang Laodao talking and laughing in front of Jia Mu. This "immortal" was over ninety years old, with white beard, white eyebrows, straight waist and small eyes, showing no signs of Alzheimer's disease.

Sister Feng leaned on the reclining chair, but after seven or eight days, her efforts had diminished a lot, and there was a smell of weak willows supporting the wind. She kept looking at Brother Jiang, who was in Zixiao's arms, and joked nonchalantly to her side.Speaking of how strong Sister Feng was, she would be beaten to such an extent. It was Lian Er who personally showed her Wang Ren's confession with his handprint (in order to prevent being torn, I prepared multiple copies), and expressly asked her to take it.Sister Feng knew that Lian Er had no choice but to take her, but Brother Jiang was hanging. Even if Lian Er himself promised nothing would happen, she couldn't believe it. Who would let Cheng Si Ding be a bastard?But with the current relationship between her and Lian Er, it is impossible to have another one.Up to now, even if she acted recklessly, she didn't dare to be distracted, but she always stared at the only baby.It's hateful, Jiang Ge'er is obviously the heir of the Rong family, but he was murdered by his uncle!

Jia's mother didn't know the reason, but thought that Sister Feng was very worried. She was a little displeased, and she couldn't say much, so she turned her head and asked with a smile, "Old fairy, can we get Brother Jiang's name talisman?"

Sister Feng turned her gaze around, Zhang Laodao chuckled: "Look at me, I am so forgetful, I only remember grandma's peace talisman! I already have my name talisman, and it was supposed to be sent to the house the day before yesterday. A lady, a grandma, and a lady came to do the funeral, so she put it down, and she is standing in front of the Buddha, and Xiaodao will fetch it here." When he turned around and saw Baoyu, he rushed forward to hug his shoulders and rub his back to say hello, saying that a certain one with a thin and pointed face was "blessed even more Like", as for the board of the tiger-headed tiger-brained and blessed image, I didn't give a single one out of the corner of my eye.

Baoyu smiled and greeted: "The old god is happy! But you want to take our Brother Jiang's name talisman? Don't you run around, old man, which hall are you in? I'll go and get it."

Zhang Laodao said with a smile: "Blessings, brother, Xiaodao is still healthy, these few steps don't matter. Xiaodao always remembers my brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, and my brother won't come to the temple either!"

Jiamu sighed with a smile: "he is just busy with nothing, and he always stays in the family school. It seems that our family can't afford to hire another school teacher, so we insist on pretending to be a school teacher. He is alone, and Feng girl is one. There are so many things on his mind all day long, and he seems to have nothing to do. The sky will collapse if they fail. Now one of them is sick, and this one will also lie down at some point!"

Zhang Laodao shook his head: "It's a good thing to lie down. It's not a disease. It's because your bones say you want to rest. Brother, wait a minute, don't let the old lady worry about you, Xiaodao will come soon."

Baoyu would rather obey his orders than be respectful, and laughed to himself that the god really has a "fairy" air. He sees a boy as "brother", a young daughter-in-law as "grandma", and an elderly one as "old lady", just like a romantic boss in the 21st century , all Xiaomi is called "Qiqin", and there will never be a time when you forget your name and get it wrong.

That Xiangyun was already impatient and shouted to hurry up and play.Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "What to order? I ordered a bunch, and I still want to take them to the gods for a play, why don't I just hold all the play cards! I have nothing to do, so hurry up and chase the gods."

Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "If you want to order, one discount per person, let's see who can order the play before the gods."

Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing ordered at will, and handed the play cards to Sister Feng.Sister Feng flipped through her hands and pulled out "Nan Ke Meng". Jia's mother frowned slightly.

The author has something to say: I am Sister Feng who was possessed by Sister Lin
