Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Having done Baochai's engagement, Lian Er had to choose an auspicious day to set off.It is impossible for him to pick up Sister Feng, he does not need to hurry, and is going to patrol shops along the road to do business.It doesn't matter if Wang You goes together, Lian Er bought two maids for him, bought them from a brothel, known as "Qingguan people".Wang You is not the generation of Liu Xiahui, and he is happy to enjoy it.Besides, he had experienced Sister Feng's methods, so he was not eager to go home, and he had an excuse in mind: he fell ill halfway through the cold weather.Xue Biao also left together, and he went to Beijing to "run errands" for Lian Er and his cousin Xue Pan.

Both the first and second households of Xue’s family are small, but fortunately, the second household was defeated. After Xue Biao’s brothers and sisters arrived in Beijing, Xue Wang’s nephew saw that his nephew was young and modest, and he was vaguely able to handle it. Chai changed his words before calling his elder brother "big brother" and his cousin "second brother", so Baoqin was naturally "my younger sister".

A woman who is engaged should prepare to marry at home, and merchants don't pay attention to it. A few days after the engagement, Xue Wang took Baochai and Baoqin to Rongfu to kowtow to Jiamu, and then let Baochai live back in Xiaoguanzhuang, plotting to marry her. Let Baoqin live in, and also want my younger sister, Mrs. Wang, to recognize Baoqin as her goddaughter. This is what the second room of Rongfu owes to Xue's family!

There was a lot of discussion about the Xue family, and Mother Jia sympathized with Xue Wang's family, she was old and kind, especially her eldest son was unfilial and her second son was stupid, she felt the same way.After receiving the post, he sent his servants to the historian to fetch Xiangyun, who was a good friend of Baochai.On that day, Tanchun Xichun, who was studying to take care of housework, was deducted, and Daiyu Qiao was added, and there were many flowers in front of the seat.

Mrs. Wang is the younger sister of Xue Wang's family, and she wants to live well on the surface; the eldest house is a serious in-law of the Xue family, and Mrs. Xing is interested in the Xue family who has a lot of money.The two wives dealt with some important matters, and ordered Li Wan to distribute trivial housework, and also went to Jiamu's courtyard to please.

They didn't delay much time, Xue Wang's mother and daughter just arrived for a while.

Jia Mu was holding Baoqin's hand and chattering in amazement. The little girl was thirteen or fourteen years old, her color was still higher than that of Baochai, her skirt and skirt didn't come loose when she walked, her neck was straight, her waist was straight and her shoulders were still. Qinghe does not lose the beauty of her daughter's family, her eyes are slightly lowered and she does not look around, and the angle of the eyes is so that she can see everything she sees from the corner of her eye.This posture must have been taught by the nuns in the palace, and it didn't take a year or a half, but it was raised from a young age, like a born noble girl.

Back then, her Yuanchun also hired a foster mother who came out of the palace when she was young, but she had to admit that she was inferior to Baoqin.Not to mention Baochai, the dignified atmosphere is just pretending, and the matter is not mentioned inside.The mannerisms are also rigid, but she can't be blamed for this. Baochai only learned from the palace nurse after he went to Wang Ziteng's house, and it was less than two months.

Seeing the two wives of King Xing coming in, Mother Jia raised her hand with a smile: "Come here and have a look at girl Qin, this water onion is so good-looking that our girl can't be compared to her."

Mrs. Wang's own daughter is a concubine, and the concubine's daughter is engaged, so she doesn't care.When Baoqin saluted, Fang's heart skipped a beat, and he forced a smile and said, "Sure enough, it's so clever, how old is it?" Then he asked Mrs. Xue, "Are you engaged?"——If there is no engagement, you must want to send it to the palace Yes, Second Sister is really wicked!

Xue Wang secretly hated, and smiled more kindly: "When her father was in Beijing, she betrothed Qinya to the son of Zhongmei Hanlin in Duzhong. This time her brother sent her to marry. The daughter's family must always prepare Last two years."

Mrs. Wang forced her laughter into a mirth, and made fun of it, secretly disdainful: What Mei Hanlin, I have never heard of it, I am afraid that this Hanlin is not the other Hanlin, the herbal doctor in the back street is still called "Emperor Physician"!A Jinshi in the new department is admitted to a Shujishi, and he first goes to the Imperial Academy for a few years, and when he comes out, he is awarded a seventh-rank official and a sixth-rank official.How come Baoqin's father-in-law is in his [-]s and [-]s? How promising is he?

She guessed right, she used to be an official for her husband, and later her children and grandchildren entered the official career through the examination. How high is the status?Mei Hanlin is currently the number one high school student after his ascension to the throne, and he was conferred this year.But "Thirty Young Scholars", he is not too old.

At the time of Baoqin's engagement, Mei Hanlin was Mei Xiucai. His family was poor and his mother was sick. His wife and children were almost unable to support him.It is not difficult for a wealthy businessman to find a poor scholar to be his son-in-law, let alone the son of a scholar?Many fanciers wrote that after Mei Hanlin developed, they turned their faces and denied this marriage.This is unlikely, most civil servants value reputation, there is no need to engage in repentance activities, the big deal is to let the business girl "die of illness" after marrying into the door.

Not to mention Mei Hanlin, he would not destroy his reputation just because of the ambition of "not joining the cabinet unless he is a Hanlin".Furthermore, the family has a plan, the engagement document back then stated that Xue Baoqin was engaged to the son of the Mei family, it didn't mention which one, the bastard is also a son.

Why do you think Second Master Xue would agree?It's not bad for a merchant girl to marry into a scholar's family, but Baoqin is young, which one should be written, and the kid died young?It is only natural for a girl to marry another boy when the girl dies; when a boy dies, the strict family will ask the girl to watch over the family.

Baochai looks down on Tongsheng scholar, which is directly related to Baoqin's marriage.Her second uncle has always supported the Mei family, and the Mei family could not provide any protection. After the death of the second uncle, the daughter and young son had a hard time keeping money.She thought that even if she was lucky, the husband-in-law she picked would go to high school at the top of the list, at least ten years later, the day lily would be cold!

This year, Mei Hanlin wants to use money when he appoints an official, otherwise he doesn't know what kind of job he will get.In the original book, Baoqin didn’t enter Beijing until the end of the year, uh, it should be the end of next year. Because of the chaotic flapping of the fake stone’s butterfly wings, many things happened one to two years earlier.In short, Xue Biao's brother and sister procrastinated to avoid Mei Hanlin asking for money for the official. It was a bottomless pit.Because there is no silver to pave the way, Mei Hanlin in the original book continues to do odd jobs in the Hanlin Academy.As for his sons, only the eldest son who was married was selected as a scholar.Mei Hanlin is also a very persistent person. Maybe Baoqin's husband-in-law passed the exam as a white-haired old boy. You must know that Mei Hanlin himself was a late bloomer at the age of 36 before he was named on the gold list!

Anyway, Baoqin's father-in-law is "Hanlin". Xue Wang and Baochai want to use this to identify a godmother for Baoqin, and Mrs. Wang is the best choice: Xue Pan offended Prince Teng Ma'am, people don't care about Hanlin.Furthermore, Wang Ziteng is an old man who is about to become an official, and he is not suitable for civil and military affairs. Wang Ziteng is still the emperor, which is of no help to Mei Hanlin.But Baoyu wanted to enter an official career in the future. At that time, Mei Hanlin had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, which would help Baoyu.Mrs. Wang is the mother of Concubine Xiande, and the Mei family, the relatives of the royal family, dare not take it seriously.For the Xue family, it is also a good way to get closer to the second room of the Rongfu who is in power. No matter what Mrs. Wang thinks, the Xue family can borrow power in front of outsiders.

Mrs. Xue mentioned it euphemistically, and Mother Jia thought it was good, and joked with a smile, saying that she wanted this god-daughter and "forced" Mrs. Wang to recognize her as a god-daughter.

Mrs. Wang is annoyed, she doesn't mind helping her sister, although it's hateful, she is her own sister after all, but you should let me know beforehand, right?Mrs. Xing was even more annoyed. She thought that Baoqin should recognize her as her godmother, but Xue Wang didn't say who she recognized. Move directly to the second room!But the old lady was upset that she had just adopted her niece for her stepson, and she dared not make a noise to snatch the piano, so she looked at Xue Wang.

Mrs. Xue lowered her eyes and "didn't see", but Baochai was slightly confused. Mrs. Xing felt that the Xue family was meaningless, and she was depressed and thought about how to make a change.

Mrs. Wang sneered secretly when she saw it, and wanted to push Baoqin to Mrs. Xing, who had shallow eyes.

At this time, Xue Wang said with a smile: "I took them to kowtow to my second sister-in-law a while ago. My second sister-in-law said that if girl Qin is not engaged, she can pour tea and water with the empress in the palace. Alas, our girl Bo Willow and grass quality, how can I have such a blessing? I am a stubborn one, and I am lucky that girl Qin has the old lady's attention. If you give her a little advice, she will not lose her position when she goes to her in-law's house in the future."

Mrs. Wang is depressed, it's just that Baoyu has said a few more words at his uncle's house, but your parents and children will make a big fuss first!With a big eye and a hollow heart, he doesn't even look at whether Baochai is worthy of entering the palace!That's all, it's just a confession, which is what you want.

Mrs. Wang took off the bracelet "joyfully", and put it on Baoqin's wrist with her own hands.Jia's mother was very happy. She didn't allow Baoqin to live with Baochai, but she wanted to stay with her and "teach her herself", and let her two daughters-in-law manage the affairs by themselves. Don't hinder the girls from talking and laughing here.

The two ladies were stabbed a few times by Jiamu, but they didn't care.Mrs. Xing even said: "My mother-in-law is not an eyesore here, and you can have tea with me. I specially asked the women to make delicate snacks."

As soon as the wives left, Daiyu immediately took Baoqin's hand and asked her if she could compose poems, saying that she would form a poetry club.Although this girl is much more cheerful than in the original book, she still has the true temperament of Fairy Jiangzhu, and making friends is more about eye-catching than identity.

In the past, Second Master Xue arranged for his daughter to be a scholar's son, so he had to be prepared that after the Mei family became prosperous, they would dislike merchant women, and took great pains to find the former prince's nun who was reduced to an official slave (no redemption) during the battle for succession. The children have traveled far and wide and seen many things in the world, so the brothers and sister Xue Biao are very capable.After his early death, a pair of parents, relatives and friends turned into evil wolves, but the children with tens of millions of wealth were not crushed to death.Daiyu is just a girl in the back house. She has seen people like Baoqin several times, and she loves them very much.

Xiangyun has a bright personality. Seeing that Baoqin is slightly smaller than her, he also cherishes it very much. He pointed out without hesitation: "In front of the old lady and in Xiaoguanzhuang, you just play. Go to your godmother. If she is in the house , it’s okay to sit down. If she’s not here, don’t go in. There are many people in that room, and some of them have very bad hearts, so they seriously hurt us.”

Tanchun's face does not show the bitterness in his heart. Who could be the so-called "extremely bad heart"?But my aunt and younger brother were locked up!

Baochai was secretly happy, she loved to read Erfang's jokes, she poked Xiangyun's forehead with a smile: "Say you have no heart but heart, even though you have heart, your mouth is too straight. My sister is a bit like you, you always say you have me as a kiss Elder sister is fine, if you don't recognize her as your own younger sister."

Xiangyun seems careless, but she is Ms. Hou Men, and she knows that handing in handkerchiefs for Geng Tie is not just for fun, but if the status is the same, it depends on whether the parents are in the same party. His father-in-law is Hanlin, so it's not easy to deal with it.So I made a fool of myself: "My sister is an outsider, I only know that the people in the village are all sisters and sisters. We haven't started a company for a long time, I don't care about many, I heard that the housekeepers of Jiaoxiake (Tanchun) and Ouxie (Xichun) are now. Hurry up and take out the silver to buy wine, and clean up the dust for me and Sister Bao!"

Jia's mother likes to chat and laugh with her children the most, and she can't close her mouth from ear to ear. She calls her maid and mother-in-law to copy the houses of the third and fourth girls, and snatch all the children...

That family school has already started classes, and this year more people went to the county to take the exam. Yinquan Jialan Jiajun and others went, Shanshu teacher Liu Jiaoxiu went to guard the battle again, and Baoyu took the lead to teach for the time being. Please be safe.

Mrs. Wang talked about Baoqin when she said hello that night.When the fake stone was worn for the first time, I wanted to cheat Xue Dadai's money, so I specially inquired about the affairs of Xue's family, and knew that a certain Hanlin was a handyman. Even if he was qualified to commit treason in the future, he would not implicate his relatives.But every time he got a chance, he would frighten Mrs. Wang to prevent her from getting old illnesses. The women of the Wang family are really scary.

So he murmured: "Hanlin? I'll ask the teacher another day to find out which party he belongs to."

Mrs. Wang's face changed slightly. Compared with Baoyu's teacher, what is Mei Hanlin who has never heard of it?I made a mistake. As long as I am an official, how can I not form a party?If Mei Hanlin is in Lu Zuoshi's sect, his son will not know that he is a good scholar after all.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not right, the old lady insisted! Then...he has not entered someone's sect yet? He should be a 'Hanlin' who has not yet been awarded an official. It should not be difficult to return. .”

Baoyu nodded: "Let's see what kind of official he can confer. If he doesn't have much achievements, the master will definitely say that a gentleman is not a party."

Mrs. Wang sighed, whether she was successful or not depends entirely on her connections. Mei Hanlin definitely did not come from a scholarly or honorable family, otherwise she would not know.An authentic humble scholar who entered the officialdom only at a young age, it's no wonder that Baoyu's teacher can take a fancy to him!It's a pity that the old lady is looking for trouble for nothing, Baoyu will definitely be blamed by the master for this.

Baoyu pretended to be relieved: "It's not such an important matter. The Xue family is related to us. The wife is just pity that Miss Qin has no father and no mother. Could it be that the Mei family can still become our family's serious in-laws? We just need to be more careful in the future."

Mrs. Wang nodded heavily: "I wanted to discuss it with you before, but your aunt used you to prevent Bao girl from entering the palace to talk. She just can't get involved in her family's affairs at all, once she gets involved, she can't let her go."

Baoyu bowed her head in guilt: "It's because I'm young and out of my mind."

Mrs. Wang held up the teacup and paused at the table: "Letting her enter the palace will cause even more troubles! Your good aunt will definitely find me and bring her into the palace to visit women, and ask for contacts in the palace. I shouldn't be soft-hearted and admit Qin. Girl, let's take the Xue family as a relative, she is good, she knows how to plot us! My son, we look stable, we are really boiled oil, we can't make mistakes. Your second uncle..." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice: "In his case, I guess he was probably poisoned."

Baoyu acted extremely shocked, but in fact this was the misleading he gave to the false mother, even if Wang Ziteng was really poisoned, he would not be able to see it.But the poison of the fake mother is familiar, and there are traces in the original book, as long as you tell the second uncle how he looks and behaves, the fake mother will definitely guess in that direction.As for Mrs. Wang telling Wang Ziteng and his wife, just say that he didn't say that the second uncle was poisoned. The second uncle was really tired, and he couldn't even say that he was wrong. I can only blame Mrs. Wang for having ghosts in her heart. Everyone has ghosts. .

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Wang explained the pharmacology in detail: the long-term slow poisoning, the insidious poison that takes effect all at once, all the poisoned people look sick, or the old wounds have recurred.She asserted that Wang Ziteng was poisoned by some kind of one-time poison, and it would be difficult to remove it completely, as it would hinder his lifespan and linger in bed.

Fake stones are infinitely admired, if you want to talk about your talents, you will be a master of poison if you play martial arts novels; if you play fantasy novels, you can become a master of alchemy if you work hard. The "Ginseng Yangrong Pill" in the original work is so wonderful.Continue to study and shine in the back house. As long as you don't have too much heart and stretch your hands too long like Sister Feng and Xue Wang, our family will have no major worries.

But but but, there are always good and bad spirits in this world.

But a few days later, the victim of Mrs. Wang's branded miracle drug broke out in the backyard...

The author has something to say: Fake Stone: Fake Mom, I really didn’t scare you!
