Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The grace of heaven is mighty, Master Xi kneeled so much when he received the decree, his body was so sick that his clothes were drenched, and then he was in a bad mood, and angered Jia Cong, who was waiting for the illness, and ordered his servants to throw off Cong's children's shoes and slap the face several times.

Cong Tongxi was filial and had no complaints, so he immediately ordered his servants to invite Wang Taiyi.A famous doctor is not a genius doctor, so after seeing it, he is nothing more than admonishing Master She, who is physically weak, to cultivate his body and cultivate his character, and he must rest.

Baoyu knew that Mr. Xi must invite a decent imperial physician, so Baba ran to wait for him, nicknamed "Visiting the Elder Master", but unexpectedly he became the condolences to the third brother Cong who was wearing a pancake face.It is said that Jia Cong originally wanted to go to Kao County for a trial game this year, but Mr. She couldn't afford to stay on the couch, so he could only respect his father's wanton scolding every day, and get beaten up from time to time.

After being seen by Doctor Wang, Mr. Xie, the fake stone asked him to show his fake father's leg.

Mr. Zheng recovered fairly well, and because of the great grace of God, he was so comforted that he was leaning on a cane, facing the window and facing the remnant snow and new green in the yard, stroking his beard and groaning, so he was also warned by the doctor Wang to "be sure to rest": really not Sure, if the injury is not healed, young people will also aggravate the injury.The weather was still cold, and he opened the window to express his feelings. He would definitely have to lie down for another month or two.

Fake Shitou loves his fake father dearly, and stays up all night waiting for his illness.

He is in a good mood, the clan of this dynasty does not enter the court, sister Lin married the clan's son, and the hidden dangers from the Lin family are completely gone.You said there is Lin Xing?He is going to marry Tan Ying, an orphan girl who died in battle. She has not yet passed the exam. Even if he succeeds in the exam three years later, he will still have to go through the official career. When he can pose a threat, the fake stone will be over 20 years ago. Years of catastrophe.

In the long night of silence, Baoyu and his clothes lay on the bedside of Mr. Zheng's couch, carefully recalling today's scene.

The emperor's gift of marriage is not a blind gift. Generally speaking, the parents of both men and women will not be ignorant.The royal family of Zhongjing County must know about it, otherwise how could the princess of Zhongjing County come to celebrate her birthday if they had no contacts in the usual days?

Mother Jia should also know that after he noticed Xie En, although the old lady was happy, she was not overjoyed.Hmph, it's no wonder that once the fake mother said that her teacher had been involved in her marriage, the old lady went along with the flow and refused to match Bao Dai for marriage.The old lady who always loves vanity is actually so tight-lipped this time, I don't know at all!When did this happen?

Of course, it happened after Mr. Zheng was "bruised by a concubine" at home.Jinshang believed that it was the hands of treacherous ministers, such a clumsy and loyal minister would not let him go, and when he was annoyed, he thought of Lin Ruhai's orphan who lived in Rongfu. That's him.

Because it is rare for a woman from the Rong Mansion to enter the palace, and Mr. Pardon and Mr. Zheng are sick, and the emperor does not like to see virtuous concubines who are not in the establishment, and concubines and concubines are not qualified to be involved in the marriage of the clan sons, he asked the queen to pass a message to the princess of Beijing County.The concubine of Beijing County and Jia's mother don't have close contacts, so she passed the message to the concubine of Nan'an County, and the two old ladies handed over handkerchiefs in their boudoirs.

Jia's mother kept her secret because she knew that it was not easy for the clan's wife to be a woman, and the clan was downgraded to become a noble. Daiyu will also be the wife of the state in the future, and there are too many things to learn from outside the family.The granddaughter's temperament is a bit naive, and she is old, so she has to point to Wang's to polish Daiyu.And Mrs. Wang is the most shallow-sighted, once she knows that Daiyu is married to the clan's son, how can she give her advice.

The old lady had a good estimate of Jia Wang's family, and Mrs. Wang also suffered from insomnia that night. Daiyu's help to Baoyu was limited, and her thoughts on teaching Daiyu immediately faded away, and she decided to focus on teaching Tanchun.She hopes that in the future, Tanchun will not only not need the support of her natal family, but also help Baoyu with money.It needs to be known that if she wants to succeed in her official career, she must get snowflakes and silver to pave the way. She also has her eldest grandson who also took the imperial examination to become an official, so she cannot use all the money on Baoyu.

There was a case of miscalculation of the stone, and Mrs. Wang never made money by champering the lawsuit.What do you think Mrs. Wang's status was when she married into the Rong Mansion?Can she be compared with Wang Xifeng?A woman stretches her hand out of the mansion and has to use a man's name card. How can she have the right to touch a big house's name card, and the political master is only a sesame official after he enters the officialdom.In the original book, the political master helped Jia Yucun to find an official, relying on Wang Ziteng, who hadn't yet developed back then.

After Mrs. Wang took care of the house, she couldn't come across the famous card representing the big house of Rongfu. Master Xi couldn't resist Jia Mu in other things, so the famous card was firmly in her hands.Sister Feng can make waves by using Jia Lian's famous post.Although Lian Er only has the vain title of five-rank Tongzhi, but he is a Chengjue male in Rongfu, so his famous post is naturally useful.

Mrs. Wang, the usurer, did it before, but she didn't use Mr. Zheng's name card. Firstly, it was not easy to use. Secondly, she pointed at Mr. Zheng to earn a phoenix crown and summer cloak for her, so she didn't want Mr. Zheng's name to be dusted.She used servants, as the old saying goes, "a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister", a house slave is more useful than a master.But let alone other things, the servants of the Rong Mansion are greedy, and the interest is limited in her hands, so she gave up after working for a while.

Mrs. Wang's main way of getting money is to be greedy for her own public wealth. The main method is to underreport the income of Zhuangzi's shop and stuff the difference into her pocket.The house slaves who run Zhuangzi's shop also like to use this method, greedy for ink when buying and shipping out.Mrs. Wang dealt with them without frowning, and her methods were insidious, which could not be compared with the concubines in the back house (so she thought she was very kind to those foxes).

A woman in the back house with a poor IQ can estimate the income of Zhuangzi's shop at eight or nine. It is the experience accumulated from the protracted war.

Because Mrs. Wang's methods were too shady, she had conflicts with Jia's mother many times.Jia's mother thinks that being a master should be based on softness, and she feels that Wang's demeanor is not good enough for everyone's mistress.But at that time Lian's Er Shangxiao hadn't married a wife yet, she was a widow and had a daughter-in-law, so it was inconvenient to disclose the housekeeper, and she didn't want to hand over the Rong Mansion to the big house, so she had to use Mrs. Wang.

Because of this, Mother Jia gained the reputation of being partial to the second wife, but Mrs. Wang knew that it was because the Xing family could not afford to pardon the master, who is tyrannical and spends too much money, and will quickly ruin the family: the family's wealth and reputation will be ruined.No matter how ruthless she is, she knows how to cover up.

Tanchun has nowhere to be greedy for public wealth, and what Mrs. Wang wants to teach her is to manage the Zhuangzi shop well.

Mrs. Wang believes that with the talents of Tanchun, business can be successful.Why did you find a husband like Liu Xianglian for Tanchun?In addition to Liu Xianglian's high martial arts skills to protect Baoyu, but also because if Tanchun is directly married to a businessman, the political master will definitely not allow it.And Liu Xianglian, who has no background, can't control Tanchun. In the future, Tanchun will show her face like her good sister Xue Wangshi, and Liu Xianglian can't help it.Tanchun has the means to win over, maybe he can turn Liu Xianglian into her arm.She is not afraid that Tanchun will change her mind after she becomes rich, and she needs the help of the officialdom to do business. In the future, Tanchun and his wife will be tied to Baoyu, or even benefit her eldest grandson Jialan.

With her wishful thinking in mind, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but carefully consider which Zhuangzi shops to give to Tanchun as dowry.And so on, until the child fell asleep...

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Two days later, Mrs. Zhongjinghou visited Jia Mu.The old lady guessed that the nephew and daughter-in-law came to talk about the establishment of the Lin family's mansion, and she felt a little uncomfortable. She thought that her granddaughter would be able to get out of the palace from the glory of the Rong Mansion.Daiyu was wronged so much.

Unexpectedly, after three rounds of tea, Mrs. Zhong Jinghou talked about the marriage of adopted son Lin Xing, saying that the 23rd of this month was an auspicious day, and it was arranged for Lin Guang.Jia Mu was surprised and said that she was too rushed.Mrs. Zhong Jinghou said with a smile: "It's a little rushed. It was originally held in the twelfth lunar month last year. All the matters have already been prepared. It's just a little late to send invitations, and my relatives and friends won't care too much."

Mother Jia's eyes flickered slightly, and the guests at the wedding were all called "my relatives and friends", but the scope of relatives and friends who "don't care too much" is limited, that is, Lin Xing's marriage will not be a big deal.

The granddaughter's heir brother got married in a hurry?She asked with a smile: "Welcome the bride at the Hou's Mansion?"—It is said in Beijing that historians are stingy, but she never thought that historians could be so shameless.

Mrs. Zhong Jinghou didn't feel ashamed, and said calmly: "That's what I planned, but Xing'er will become an official in the imperial examination in the future. Sister Ying is virtuous and a bit stubborn. They set up a courtyard in Xinglong Street."

The yard is freshly placed.Historians have always been cautious, they didn't say Concubine Zhen's peace today, how dare they hold a wedding banquet in the Hou's Mansion.The day before yesterday, the eunuch Xuanzhi told Lin Xing to hurry up and get married. That eunuch is the eunuch next to Jinshang, who is equivalent to a royal order to historians, so he hurried to Xinglong Street to buy a house.Xinglong Street is very famous. At the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was a deserted Caomin Street. Poor Beijing officials in Qingliu went to live, and gradually became famous far and wide.However, there are not many civil servants who are willing to have this kind of "good reputation". The so-called being in harmony with the light is too lofty to be able to get ahead in officialdom.Therefore, there are houses on Xinglong Street for rent all year round, for those who come to Beijing to prepare for the exam and come here because of the name of this street. It is not difficult to buy a yard.There is no need to renovate a house that people live in all year round, just a little cleaning and moving in the prepared furniture.

Mother Jia frowned: A clean name is equivalent to a poor name, how can she be worthy of her granddaughter?She was worried that the historian would use the Lin family to open a house to dig out a piece of Daiyu's dowry, so she would not be afraid to have a house on Xinglong Street.

So she said with a little displeasure: "Miss Tan bought that yard, right? Lin Jiansheng is the heir of the Lin family after all, and he married and became a married man in the Lin family's mansion. Min'er's dowry house was always taken care of by servants back then, because Daiyu saw it with her own eyes. I'm growing up, and last year I asked the big housekeeper to renovate it, and it can be used as a new house. No matter how stubborn Miss Tan is, it's not up to her to decide where to live in the future."

Mrs. Zhongjinghou hesitated: "It's too much trouble to move around."

Mother Jia sighed: "I asked Housekeeper Lai to arrange staff to help. You also think about my old lady. Poor Min'er left a girl behind. God's grace bestowed a marriage on the son of the prince of Zhongjing County. How can I make Daiyu go from Xinglong to Xinglong?" Going out on the street? Even if Lin Jiansheng and his wife live in Lin's house for a few days, Daiyu can be said to be married from his heir brother's family in the future."

Mrs. Zhongjinghou smiled and clapped her hands: "My aunt is thoughtful, and I will be a messenger. At the latest, I will reply later. My aunt will first order the housekeeper Lai to prepare the manpower." She looked around and said, "Where is the girl Yun?" Already? The second sister-in-law asked me to take her home."

Jia's mother ordered Yuanyang to go to Xiangyun, but she didn't say a word of persuasion: Xiangyun was fourteen in the new year, and it was a good engagement, so Xiangyun visited Rongfu twice after this year, and she didn't leave her niece and granddaughter to stay longer. a few days.

Mrs. Zhongjinghou sat and waited, chatting and laughing with Jia Mu leisurely.She doesn't care about Lin Xing, Daiyu, or even Xiangyun's marriage. Xiangyun lives with Baolinghou's family.She only cares about her own family, her family's title starts with "loyalty", and any title prefixed with this word is either from the clan, or the emperor's confidant, or posthumously like Zhongqinhou Lin Ruhai, it cannot be hereditary.It is said that people's hearts are unpredictable, the same person may change, let alone father and son?The word "loyalty" bestowed by the royal family cannot be hereditary.

Zhong Jinghou is the confidant of the Supreme Emperor, although the historian's family rules ensure that the historian is loyal to the one on the dragon chair, who knows what he thinks today?She thinks that today's temperament is suspicious, and historians can't make a mistake in one step, but she hopes that the next generation will smoothly become a royal confidant without a title.Just like the Wei family that Xiangyun is talking about, the two generations of emperors reused the Wei family, wouldn't it be much better than a title that is easy to attract suspicion.

In this way, Lin Xing rushed to prepare for his marriage, but the fake stone encountered a difficulty: his wedding day collided with Jin Rong Xiren!

The Jin family and the Hua family set February 23rd, because Jin Rong's group of window friends who took the county test have returned and rested.The Jin family is close relatives in the Ning Mansion, and Jin's mother and the Jin family's aunt, Grandma Huang, have big ideas, and it is impossible to do it in another day.

Baoyu is Daiyu's direct cousin, and his heir and brother cannot be absent when they get married.In desperation, he was forced to leave his confidants behind.In order to make up for it, he could only work hard on Xiren's preparations for marriage, and went to discuss with Jia Cong: Although Mr. Xi is Daiyu's direct uncle, he really couldn't get up and couldn't go to Lin Xing's wedding banquet.Jia Cong didn't have to go when he was sick, and even Mrs. Xing couldn't go there.Because of this, the presence of the Second Household of the Rong Mansion is extremely important. Except for the widowed Li Wan, everyone else must go, including Jia Lan.

Jia Cong embraced him generously, he had rich experience in dealing with the old man, and once he paid the medicine, he would make sure that Master Xi fell into a deep sleep, and Mrs. Xing never cared about his affairs, so she slipped to Jin Rong Xiren's wedding banquet at that time.

Baoyu also thought about begging Jia Rong again, the boy Rong would not give him face.But after the incident with Sister Feng, Lian Er moved away from the Ning Mansion, and he himself wanted to distance himself from the Ning Mansion.Forget it, Boy Cong added Jia Jun, Jia Yun, Liu Xianglian, Xue Pan, etc., and they barely made sense.

But she said that Mrs. Wang didn't want to teach Daiyu with her heart anymore, but she wouldn't offend the clan wife, and she made a bright face.

As an aunt, she brought all her servants to the "Lin Mansion" to help three days in advance, and then followed Tanchun Daiyu.The political lord Baoyu Jialan and others are coming on the day, and a group of men can't help them in the backyard. The outside management is led by Lin Guang's adoptive father Shi Houye.

Zhong Jinghou and his wife had to deal with both ends, and Ms. Tan was also their adopted daughter.Therefore, Mrs. Wang will not be there when the time comes, and the hostess is only the thirteen-year-old second girl from Baolinghou's family (actually the eldest girl, Xiangyun, the orphan of Boss Shi in the upper row).

At first glance, Miss Shi Er is sharp and capable, and she has the same aura as Tanchun.The three girls are of the same age, and they are good sisters holding hands immediately.

Tanchun secretly complained that Xiangyun and Daiyu were on good terms, but they didn't come. Even if you have troublesome things, you should come to put on a show.

Daiyu didn't take it to heart, she leaned down and asked Miss Shi Er with some gossip: "I heard that girl Yun is talking about marriage, which family is it?"

Mrs. Wang ignored the girls whispering, and patrolled the "Lin Mansion" in a distasteful manner.Back then, my sister-in-law had a lot of red makeup, and this dowry house was specially purchased for land. Although the area is not too large, it has put in a lot of effort. Over the past thirty years, it has become more charming. The trees in the courtyard have grown up, and the small bridges, flowing water and artificial hills are scattered here and there. , Pavilions, pavilions, eaves and walls, colorful fairy spirits... It is a perfect match for the wife of the prince's son, but Lin Xing and his wife are not qualified even if they borrow the land to get married!

Envy, jealousy and hatred moved her heart: Although Daiyu can't help Baoyu, she can help Tanchun!Clan sons can't do business, can't be court officials, they can only farm land, but Zhuangzi everywhere has needs, and the county prince's mansion can't have daily needs. After Tanchun, there is such a big customer, and the business is very popular at the beginning...

So she waved to the three girls with a smile on her face: "Busy work! Take your time to kowtow to another day, the third girl's little birthday on March [-]rd, then you will have a flower viewing party by yourself, and three friends and four friends will let you kowtow from morning to night."

The three girls were overjoyed, the flower viewing banquet was too tiring, and the small birthday banquet, the gathering of the best friends, can be described as "a day of leisure in the floating life", how carefree and carefree.
