Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

The author has something to say: I got engaged just like this when I was young, looking forward to the future in a daze, looking back at the past and crying...

I want to make a note here: the fake stone is a life gamble, and his marriage must not be so easy.

Who is the wife will be revealed on the wedding night.Wouldn't it be easy for him to live past the age of 20 without a dark pen?

Jia Jing's hundred-day ashram mourned the funeral ceremony, opened the altar, chanted scriptures, relatives and friends offered sacrifices, and returned home after the ceremony, busy with traffic and idlers.

After Baoyu ran forward, he couldn't help hearing a couple of passersby commenting that "funerals are more expensive than extravagant, and it's better to be frugal."There are five or six masters and five or six hundred servants, how to show off their wealth and honor.

He didn't have the patience to choose another day to talk about it. After handing Xichun Daiyu to Li Wan, he wiped his face and ran to the second bedroom compound.

Mrs. Wang has finished grooming and washing, and she is in good spirits. When her son was found, she feigned displeasure and reprimanded her: "You are soaked in sweat. Those who know say you are filial, but those who don't know say you are putting on airs!"

When the fake stone froze, how could it be so impulsive to fume the fake mother with the smell of sweat?What an atmosphere!So I resigned and said to take a shower and change my shirt.

Mrs. Wang chuckled: "Sit down! Mother doesn't think my son is dirty. Haven't I seen you pee on the kang?"

The fake stone hurriedly grabbed the embroidered cattail leaf fan and slapped the fake mother wildly, praising the mother's infinite kindness of "bringing the baby with a handful of shit and piss", while slandering that it was the work of a nanny and maid.

Mrs. Wang couldn't hear the slander of a certain one, and said with emotion all over her face: "In the blink of an eye, you are already so old. They say that you are young and mature, and you still don't worry about some things. Let me tell you, girl Qingwen, to keep a space for you." The yard, I can't bear to look at it..."

Fake Stone frowned: "She has resentment?"

Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes: "If she is really ignorant, I won't feel sorry for her. My son has two intercourses before marriage, and you only have one, and you still use her as a sewing girl. Why don't you arrange it earlier?" , it is not in vain for her to serve you with all her heart."

Baoyu was startled and suspicious, and tentatively said: "My wife said this, my son shouldn't, how can I wrong her by doing some needlework for my son? She was rewarded by the old lady, and the wife wanted to dismiss her... There must be a reason!"

Mrs. Wang poked his forehead: "You villain! Since my son is blessed, he wants to marry a noble girl."

Fake Stone's heart sank, and he lamented that all his plots were in vain.

Mrs. Wang saw that her son was not half happy, she was secretly satisfied, and added: "Qinggui, she is not the daughter of a high-ranking official and noble. Your father-in-law is only from the fourth rank, and his surname is Kong, and he is talking about the second daughter Kong Yuan."

Baoyu's mouth is half open: Cong Sipin, surnamed Kong, can only be Kong Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, a branch of the Confucius family in Shandong.Don't think Kong Shilang is just an offshoot of Yan Shenggong, but he is a representative figure of the Kong family in the court.The Confucius family has always been like this. Most of the descendants inherit the mantle of their ancestors to teach and educate people. The first branch does not enter the court, and one or two nearby branches will be officials in the Imperial Academy or the Ministry of Rites. The grade is not high.

He thought anxiously for a moment, then smiled lightly: "It's a pleasant surprise. The daughter of the Kong family should be a good learner of three obediences and four virtues, and my son's greatest wish is that she honor the master and wife. Keep Qingwen, don't look at her, she looks cute, but she is really hot-tempered , Let’s try Kong with her. If there is something wrong, you should make a plan early and teach your wife. It’s just that the old lady is so compassionate, but she has no choice.”

Mrs. Wang is more satisfied.She wanted to get rid of Qingwen because she was sincere. The biggest honor her in-laws gave her in-laws was to get rid of Tong Fang.She is also very pleasing to Kong Yuan. A few days ago, although the Rong Mansion kept the rules, it was only light on filial piety. She excused the old lady's arrogance and went to the Qingxu Temple to pray for blessings. Thinking of not being able to seduce the man's soul away, she felt some pity. Thinking of Qingwen's appearance, Kong Yuan must feel uncomfortable.But what Baoyu said is also true. He has always been a good wife and beautiful concubine. If the Kong family can't stand such a thing, there is no limit to virtuousness.

After pondering for a while, she nodded: "That's it. A common room is not good-looking, so I simply gave you the jade bracelet."

Baoyu is like swallowing coptis, he dare not dismiss Qingwen, it is this girl who is determined to swallow gold and hang herself.Another Yu Chuan'er is asking for trouble, and the backyard will catch fire before the big wedding!

So he shook his head heavily: "The housekeeper is in charge of the housewife. I'm sorry for the wife if Yu Chuan'er is broken. Besides, I'm always a little uneasy about Jin Chuan'er. Their mother has to use it in front of the wife, and I will give it to Yu Chuan'er in the future." Wouldn't it be safe to have a steward?"

Mrs. Wang didn't care about it: "If Yu Chuan'er is as stupid as her sister, if it is broken, it will be broken, and the left is only a slave, how can Kong Yuan kill her?"

Baoyu laughed and said: "As the old saying goes, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. My son always plans for the worst. We must add a room, and Qixia is ready."

Mrs. Wang thought to herself that you haven't looked at Qixia all these years, and it's just a decoration in your room!He said in his mouth: "Don't worry, there is no reason to add a room right after the marriage. It will take a year and a half. In the middle of the month, you find a reason to live in the temple for two days."

There is no need to look for "the reason for staying in the temple for two days", Baoyu knew that the fake mother told him that the appointment was on a certain day in the middle of the month, and he had to avoid it according to the rules.He couldn't help worrying that the order would be too big, so he said with a smile, "I won't go to the temple, I've lived enough, and then I'll meet up with friends. My wife doesn't know how much my son has suffered in the past two months, BLaBla..."

Mrs. Wang's expression was getting colder, her face was as straight as a wooden board, and she didn't want to settle for a wedding with a dowry gift. She wished she could tell her relatives and friends that she would marry a noble girl who was admired by scholars all over the world.Baoyu's words revealed something she had been reluctant to think about: how much money is left in the ancestral treasury of the Ning Mansion because Jia Zhen and his son squandered wantonly?When the royal family pursued the owed money, the Ning Mansion couldn't pay it back, so could the Rong Mansion not share the burden?It was the patriarch of Lao Jia's family who owed a piece of royal silver, and every family had to share it, Rongfu ranked first.

Baoyu looked at his face, and slowly told the total with Lian Er, saying: "Second brother Lian has a good saying, we're too good for our face, and we can't be dragged into the water by that relative who doesn't know how to restrain himself because of our face. The Kong family is noble, they have always restrained themselves and respected the etiquette, so they should not pay too much attention to matters on the scene. Why don't Ruo'er go ask the teacher for instructions, and see what's going on in the Kong family."

Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "I am wronged! I don't know what to do. When I worshiped at home, I gathered in the Tianxiang Tower to drink and have fun. I thought that if I went to the family temple, I would go to Shuiyue Temple to ask Liu to comment on flowers. Reckless in the temple. There are gods three feet up, the ancestors are watching, watch out for lightning strikes!"

Baoyu didn't want to tarnish the name of the monks in Tiexan Temple, so he said with a smile, "They only enjoy themselves in the laymen's courtyard, and it's hard for the monks to persuade them. Only Tiechan Temple is said to be our family temple, and now laymen from outside often go there, so it's rare to see it."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her heart ached, and the fake stone continued to poke the fire: "Brother Zhen said that it will take some time to repair the ancestral grave, and that the Ning Mansion is closed to guard, and they will definitely call 'best brothers' to fight cocks and dogs, slaughter pigs and sheep, and other trivial matters. The master is honest, I am afraid I have to tell the master a thing or two, so don't go there."

Mrs. Wang snorted, raised her chin and said proudly: "I won't invite the master, your father is gone, how can they enjoy themselves? Besides, the master is coming back soon, so how can they have a lot of free time!"

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

Mr. Zheng's leg injury has finally healed, and he is finally recovering.Baoyu couldn't help worrying, and asked the fake mother. Mrs. Wang didn't know what the official position of Mr. Zheng was, only that he went to the Ministry of Rites.

Baoyu knew that it was impossible for a fake father to return to the Ministry of Industry. The grade proposed by the emperor himself could not be lowered for no reason.The Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Military Affairs, etc., the political lord can't do it, and the Ministry of Rites seems to be suitable.However, there are many trivial matters in the Ministry of Rites, and the political lord messed up the general affairs because he didn't understand the general affairs. The crimes can be big or small.

It was night when Fake Stone couldn't sleep peacefully, so he ran to see Brother Zhang the next day: Although the son-in-law is not an official, he is well-informed and straightforward.Besides, today is July 31, and he will not take a bath until tomorrow, so he can't find a teacher.

Sure enough, Zhang Ming was looking for a suitable one, who was fighting against his beautiful wife reciting poems at the Princess Mansion.

Perhaps because of the low expectations of marriage, Zhang Tongzi had a good life after marriage.Anhe Princess's "outer softness" fits the old-fashioned taste, and "inner steel" restrains all the nuns.Since Anhe was favored by the princess, the nuns didn't dare to tease her, so Zhang Consort was able to live in the princess mansion for a long time, and he didn't need to bribe the nuns to have a husband and wife reunion.

A certain one disturbed the couple's love, Zhang Concubine graciously ignored it.To the younger brother's doubts about how he was lucky enough to become the son-in-law of the Kong family, Senior Brother Zhang explained clearly in a few words——

In the past few years, the officialdom has been ups and downs (the emperor often suffers from convulsions), and it seems that the Kong family is standing in line when the second girl promises to any family, and she can't delay any longer (the second girl is fourteen years old), so Jia Guiyuan has become a good choice: Although After he became honorable, his father was a civil official, and he was still a pure minister (Master Zheng followed in the footsteps of respecting his master back then, and civil servants and military generals were not willing to pay attention to him).Concubine Xiande, in the words of Zhang Mingtong: "The mothers of the children born after the Holy Majesty ascended the throne are all inferior." , will not be involved in the battle for the reserve position in the future, but the Kong family is showing favor to the royal family.

As for the official position of Mr. Zheng after his restoration, another brother of Fake Stone is in the Ministry of Officials. Accurate information: the supervisor of the Ministry of Rites, who specializes in supervising ceremonies and "repairing ancient books", will go to accompany Mei Hanlin.

In today's peaceful and prosperous age, the imperial court attaches great importance to the restoration of ancient books. This is a job regularly set up by the Imperial Academy, and it is assigned to the Hanlin who are sitting on the bench.Because it is impossible to make merits in this job, no matter how well it is done, it can find a lot of faults and be blamed at every turn.The Ministry of Rites is in charge of all aspects of "rituals" in the royal family and the court, and it attaches great importance to sending officials to supervise the restoration of ancient books.Because this kind of official is too aggrieved, those who are new to the Ministry of Rites usually go to the Ministry of Rites as a trainee for one to three months.No new officials arrive, and those who sit on the bench are sent to suffer.Jia Cunzhou didn't have to suffer. He was not born in Kejia and couldn't participate in the repairs, so he became the chief of clay sculptures and wood sculptures and served as the supervisor of ceremonies.Zhang Mingtong was relieved: "Even if there is a big mistake, you can't blame your father."

Fake Shitou burst into tears of gratitude, it goes without saying that Shimen and the Kong family arranged for the fake father to have such a good job.And Mr. Zheng used to be able to sit on the bench safely in the Ministry of Industry, half of his ancestral shadow and half of his merits, otherwise he would be over, and he would never be as prosperous as Gao E wrote in his continuation.

Gao E himself was an official of the Qing Dynasty, but he beautified the ancient officialdom indiscriminately.The ancient officialdom was much more dangerous than the modern officialdom. If the modern officialdom did not seek death, at most they would not be able to climb up or be lost.It is not an exaggeration to say that the ancient officialdom is a life and death field. In many cases, you can’t stand in line if you don’t want to. IQ and EQ are indispensable, and luck is also required.Zhang Ming is much better than the political master, the Zhang family is worried about him entering the officialdom, and would rather give it to the royal family as his wife.

The teacher's kindness is like a sea, and the next day, P Diandian went to see the teacher with a fake stone holding a generous gift.

Master Lu Zuo stretched his eyebrows and smiled kindly, and told Minister Kong that he had seen a certain one many times, and he had read all the answers to the questions.

The fake stone was dripping with sweat, vaguely as if he had met a middle-aged man many times, and the teacher didn't introduce him, so he thought it was not an important person.Because his location was always outside the distance where he could go forward and salute, he never greeted him!On the contrary, I left a little impression of "Kong Hanlin". It was at the wedding of Zhang Mingtong and Princess Anhe, and someone whispered "That's Kong Hanlin" at the back, but it was not clear which one was Kong Hanlin.

Master Lu Zuo was very happy. The little disciple was so interesting that he suddenly felt like a father.Among his disciples, this is the only one whose father is present and his father is kind, but the father is an official but cannot help his son because of his aptitude. The most powerful thing he has done is to entrust his son's marriage to his teacher.Speaking of which, people have this bit of self-knowledge, which is enough to settle down.

Being a teacher for one day and being a father for life, Master Lu Zuo gave some detailed advice on "how to be a qualified literati son-in-law", such as not rushing to visit Mount Tai. forward.Originally, the Mid-Autumn Festival would also be fine, but I was too eager to get married just now.The Double Ninth Festival is not a good time, Chongyang respects the elderly, Kong Shilang has not yet reached half a hundred...

The knowledge of fake stones has soared, and the teacher talked about it, but he never mentioned what Wen Dingli should do, so he asked brazenly.

This is done by the parents!Master Lu Zuo was very speechless, coughed and asked, "What do you think? Think about it carefully."

Fake Stone thought hard with a frowning face, and finally had a flash of inspiration: "According to the system?"

Master Lu Zuo raised his eyelids: "Your father is an official in the Ministry of Rites, and your father-in-law is also an official in the Ministry of Rites. Can you not follow the rules? Waiting for Yu Shi to impeach?"

The fake stone suddenly realized that he stood up and thanked his teacher deeply, sweating coldly on his back-if the fake mother made a big fuss, the Kong family might withdraw before the battle.

Master Lu Zuo was not happy to be thanked, so he seldom boasted, and added: "The male family follows the fifth-rank system, and the female family follows the fourth-rank system. You haven't learned it yet, go ask Zhang Concubine."

Baoyu said that he was very knowledgeable and interesting, so Ma Liu resigned.Who made "ritual" too annoying, Master Zuo refused to teach etiquette from the beginning, and pushed it to the hard-working senior brother Zhang.

Lu Yizhong misestimated the level of the little disciple, uh, he misestimated the arrogance of Zhang Consort: the precious jade that should be memorized has already been memorized, what is lacking is in-depth understanding, comprehension by analogy, and accuracy, proficiency, and degree of naturalness.Therefore, a certain dog neither needs nor dares to go to the princess mansion to seek scolding.

The weather is still hot, in order to maintain appearance when meeting the teacher, the fake stone came in a small sedan chair with green mantle.Nestled in the slightly bumped sedan chair, he was at a loss in his heart, as if he could let himself be at a loss for a while after an urgent matter had been fulfilled.

He has no interest in imagining his fiancée, it's just a symbol.If someone accused him of despicably wasting a woman's life, he would definitely scoff.He felt that he was the one who was miserable. With the soul of the 21st century, if he wanted to perform "Zhou Gong's ceremony" with an emotionless woman, what was the difference between him and Niu~Lang?He wanted to bet "nothing" that he would not live to be 20 years old, marriage should be counted, and he would bet on whether he could force himself to sink into the dust in order to survive.

Why couldn't he wait until the seventeenth or eighteenth to get engaged?Because Tanchun is leaving the cabinet.

Why did Tanchun get engaged early?If he didn't seize the opportunity very early, Tanchun might be sent to some palace as a concubine, which would make things worse for Rongfu and cause him to lose his life.Why can't Tanchun who is engaged to get married wait until the [-]th or [-]th?Because he wanted to coax Liu Xianglian well, Lingzhi was willing to help him run the private school well.

He spent so much money in the private school, not as he advocated, he would send out a bunch of officials to guard him and create another glory for the Jia family.Bah, he's not that ambitious!Just to save his own life.

Studying is a great virtue in ancient times, and Jia's private school not only has Jia's children, but also students with other surnames.In fact, when the family school in charge of him is completed, he will have a clean name. When the Yamen is convicted, he will be punished lightly on this point... In fact, he has no confidence that the Rongfu will not be confiscated and that the Hefu will not be imprisoned. Just work hard in a good direction.

Alive, everything is just to live.He couldn't help feeling sad, if he didn't have the big biscuit that returned to the 21st century hanging in front of him, he didn't know if he could persevere.Inexplicably, he felt that everything in the 21st century was as far away as a dream.Perhaps this is the horror of the world of Red Mansions, where wind, sword, frost, and sword are threatening each other, and there are traps everywhere, which can easily make people depressed and fall...
