Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 142, Fengyueqing: Baoyu failed as a matchmaker

After a resolute trial in Dali Temple, the Zhen family was convicted, and 37 people including Zhen Yingjia were sentenced to "Qiuhou Wenqiu". It was already autumn, and they were almost executed.For other adults, exiles or apprentices, the Zhen family will never be allowed to be an official.

Today, with mercy, I specially decree that "the crime is not as good as the female relatives", and all minors who are deported to Beijing with their father and brother will be exempted from crime.

The crime of the Zhen family is too serious, and it cannot be said that it is unreasonable to be promoted to the crime of treason. The emperor's extrajudicial favor caused a cabinet dispute.

Today's roaring Gan Gang asserted arbitrarily: the third concubine is a daughter of the Zhen family, and her family members are convicted, even a married woman cannot escape.His old nanny who has been buried in the ground is going to be dug out, and even Concubine Zhen can't escape. He wants the royal family to bear the notoriety of being heartless and ungrateful? !

And Zhen Shihe (Zhen Baoyu), who was deported to Beijing with his father and brother, is the grandmother's most beloved grandson, so it doesn't matter if the embroidered pillow is spared.The good news is that Zhen Shihe is only fourteen years old. If it becomes difficult to deal with it, "all men who have not entered the official position will be exempted from crimes." Today, there are many people who have not entered the official position and have been involved in crimes, especially the crimes committed by a concubine who is in charge of common affairs. If you are tired, you will not be forgiven!

The Zhen family's immature members left the prison, and the carriage of the Zhongshun Palace picked them up. Don't forget that Third Aunt Zhen's grandma is the side concubine of Prince Zhongshun.Jinshang's younger brother Zhongshun was originally an idiot, so if you want to find him, just come here.

As soon as the palace entered the deep sea, the Zhen family members disappeared.The idlers who wanted to see them beg to go back to the south of the Yangtze River were in vain, and the political enemies who wanted to take advantage of the remnants of the Zhen family to help them along the way and catch a group of them also fell in vain.

After Zhen Yingjia and others were beheaded at the Meridian Gate, the Third Prince's Mansion appeared, confiscated the body and sent it to the Zhen family's ancestral tomb in Jiangnan: The Zhen family was not guilty of treason, and the sacrificial land was not confiscated, and the ancestral tomb was fine.

To put it bluntly, this matter is a royal balance, and the Zhen family case is too involved, far beyond Jiangnan.If you get to the bottom of it, the imperial power will be shaken under the chaos.If we don't stop here, the royal family's kindness can stabilize the Zhen family's party.Cleaning them up can be postponed in another name.

The case of Zhen's family was thus exposed. The first snow of this winter was long overdue, and it was huge in one fell swoop.

Shan Juren "Xiao Yang" didn't come to the family school, and he was getting old, if there was nothing important, and the weather was bad, such as heavy rain in spring and fierce sun in summer, he would send a servant to say "Xiao Yang".Everyone has gotten used to it, Baosi is on top, he teaches in the morning, and throws it to Tongsheng's brother-in-law, Tongsheng's nephew in the afternoon.

Liu Jiaoxi is stern and selfless, who dares to be lazy and stage a martial arts... This is due to the kindness of Bao Sishu, who abolished corporal punishment on students within a few days after taking office.

The kind-hearted Baosi School couldn't bear to hear the children's wailing, and said to Yinquan: "There are enough Xianglian orchids here, go to Baoxia and drink two cups to warm your body."

So the two of them took Sishi and Yinquan's servant Zhuang'er to Rongfu.The four servants are the minimum preparation for a certain one, perhaps because there are too many dark things, even in an obviously safe environment, he does not dare to be alone, and even thinks about simply keeping the four servants until he is 20 years old.The four servants have a solid foundation, if they are delayed because of this and can't do anything else, they can focus on training newcomers.

A group of people dressed in blue duoluo fox fur cloaks to avoid snow and big rattan hats went from Xijiaomen to Baosha.

The plaque on the gate of the courtyard "Yihong Courtyard" was half-covered by the snow. This is after the girls moved into Xiaoguanzhuang, Xichun saw that everyone lived in a place with a name, so she insisted on inscribing the name of the courtyard that Bao's second brother once named. On the other hand, there is Xiangyun who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so he can only be ashamed.Because the name of this courtyard has the smell of a small house, it became more and more unnecessary for him not to return, which caused Mrs. Wang to say that Qingwen would guard the empty courtyard for him.

After entering the courtyard, I saw plum blossoms in full bloom in the courtyard, and the corridor connecting the east and west houses was covered in white.

Since the rules were established seven years ago, the east house has become an outer courtyard of fake stones.Because there are no servants staying here, maids and women still clean the house. The master bedroom is the most tidy, and you can move in after heating up the house.

A doorkeeper woman had reported in that when the fake stones and his party were shaking the snow on their cloaks by the door, the maids and women came meandering from the west room with stoves, kettles and other things.Qingwen, who leads the way, wears a satin cloak decorated with flowers and feathers, a cloud-digging goose-yellow piece Zhaojun suit on her head, and a big mink wind collar, making her look even more beautiful than flowers.

The four servants rushed to call "Miss Qingwen", and Yinquan knew that it was the second master Bao's roommate, so he turned sideways to avoid looking.

Baoyu raised her voice: "Mother Song, put it down quickly! How can you work on your old man? Put it all down and let Siyan and the others move it. We're going to build a side stove, and maybe stay overnight. Qingwen will see what is lacking in the east room, and send them to move. Then go to the kitchen to ask for food."

Qingwen asked how many people there were.Baoyu said: "Just these few, maybe it will take ten people to come to the Wanliu teaching meeting...or 12 people, because their master and apprentice eat a lot. If I can't finish eating, I will pack it and take it to the family school."

Qingwen smiled crisply, and gave him her hand stove, and said, "My lord is getting more and more stingy, and he didn't say that he would give us a taste!"

Baoyu laughed and said, "Look at me, I have no beginning and no end! What kind of reward is up to you, and the whole house wants it. The kitchen is busy on New Year's Day, and we don't rush them. When Ruixue is good, take today as a reward." It’s a festival.” He untied his purse and handed it over as he spoke.

Qingwen didn't accept it: "Where is it useful? There is an expense for the gift or something on weekdays. My father always takes extra money. My monthly money is collected there. Is it possible to wait for it? Help me today." Get out."

Baoyu didn't force it, nodded and said, "Then you keep your account, and you will speak up early if you are short of expenses."

While talking, the stove had already entered the house, the charcoal basin was raised, Zhuang Er hurriedly got a hand stove for Yinquan.

In the main house, there is still a kang in a cage, and Baoyu and Yinquan walk around holding the hand stove to warm up.

The paintings hanging on the wall here are not classical paintings, but pictures of red houses inlaid with square frames.After the construction of this not-so-small Guanzhuang, the things painted at the beginning were useless, so they were inlaid into pictures.Because there were not enough points, Xichun drew some more.The painting is not all about the red house, the largest one is given to Bao Erge, three feet square, and it is based on the green bamboo pavilion: the house is covered by green bamboo, the windows are slightly opened, and two fat colorful birds spread their wings, flying like a bird. It is clumsy, as if someone is pushing the window to startle the fledgling bird, which is not yet stable enough to fly and is dodging lazily by the window.

Seeing Yinquan staring at him, Baoyu felt a little guilty, and said frankly: "It's not everyone's handwriting. Don't think of lines and colors as 'there is no one before'. It was drawn by children for fun."

Yinquan smiled: "Children's fun is on the paper, it's a pleasure to look at it."

Baoyu said: "It's a child's painting. Could it be possible to make a lot of metaphors? Look at this picture."

"This piece" is a fishing picture based on Baoyu, but the characters are supporting characters. What stands out is a bare fishing rod. Just out of the water, the water is dripping down, and a fat fish jumps out of the water with its mouth wide open. On it is a handwritten inscription by a certain fish——People said: "Do you still need to hook and bait?" The fish was angry: "I want to be a full-fledged fish!"

Yinquan laughed, and Baoyu said solemnly: "This picture is a small-scale painting, called 'Mr. Bao is fishing, and people blame fish for anger'."

Zhuang'er was surprised: "I've heard people say that Miss Shi didn't put bait in the fish, so how did she become the second master of Bao?"

Yinquan glared at him quietly.Baoyu also didn't want to talk about girls. In ancient times, girls became the talk of men, even if they had a good name, it was not a good thing, so he smiled and said: "It can be seen that the word is bound to be wrong. I will pass you a word, and you will quietly pass it to Shiyan. Shi Yan passed on to Shi Mo, Shi Mo passed on to Shi Zhu, Shi Zhu passed on to Shi Song, and every time I went to the door to say it, no third person could hear it." After speaking, he dragged Zhuang'er into an empty room, and whispered in his ear: " Forty is forty, and fourteen is fourteen."

Zhuang'er didn't understand what this was, so he immediately dragged Shi Yan out of the house to talk.

He didn't think much about it, Shi Mo and Shi Zhu both had a local accent, and Shi Song had Qian Qi's disease, so in the end Shi Song said: "Yes yes yes yes yes..."

Zhuang'er rounded his eyes in disbelief, and everyone burst into laughter.At this time, Qingwen and the maids brought over dried fruits before meals, rice wine for daily drinking in winter, etc., and asked with bright eyes: "Why are you laughing like this? Let's have fun!"

Baoyu diverted the conversation at will, and secretly checked whether she was too lenient towards Qingwen. She was clearly an ancient woman, and her words and deeds were so outrageous. Frivolous", she would never be willing to have such a thing as a wife, so she couldn't force it to him. MD, if you want to be really frivolous, it's fine, but you are still a stubborn one. It took you eight lifetimes of bad luck to get on you. Could it be that you really want to let the Kong family destroy you?

Although he was annoyed, he actually knew that even if Yinquan was very willing, Qingwen would not be happy in eight to nine out of ten, so he didn't deliberately do it today, but Qingwen's performance still disappointed him extremely.

Based on his crooked views, he thinks that Qingwen is looking for death. There is no essential difference between her and You sisters. Being thrown with sulfuric acid; Third Sister You is my love, I will die if I don’t love me; Qingwen is stronger, she will die if she is scolded by the boss and fired, it is too easy to die!

For a while, the master bedroom’s kang was on fire, and they were persecuted by Liu Jiaoxi every day, so there was no need to wait for the house to heat up.

In the small room last night, a side stove was set up for the four waiters and the strong men, and Baoyu and Yinquan were put on the kang in the inner room.Afterwards, even if the maid and mother-in-law brought the food in person, the five servants would pick it up.

Throwing away the idea of ​​being a matchmaker, the fake stone was relieved, and he muttered: "'Green Ant's new fermented wine, a small red clay stove. In the evening, it will snow, and I can drink a cup of nothing'. This is the state I most yearn for. It’s just newly brewed wine, with a layer of tiny green ant-like bubbles floating on the surface of the wine, it’s creepy to think about it! The rice wine is so good, it’s refreshing and slightly sweet, and it’s easy to drink..."

Yinquan smiled and listened, leaning sideways on the kang and not sitting firmly, and did not take off his shoes.Occasionally answer a word or two, pour a cup of hot wine for Bao Erye, peel a few peanuts, or serve Bao Erye's bowl with vegetables in the boiling pot. Habits, obviously what he learned back then included serving people.

Fake Stone is a little sad, and gets along with each other, he is afraid that he will not be able to do Yinquan so naturally and carefully.

A whirlwind of snow blows past the window, bringing with it a continuous whistling sound, while the warmth in the room gradually rises.

The fake stone was in a trance for some reason, and those famous poems that were almost forgotten poured into his head, and he murmured to himself: "Why are you silent? Let's have a drink together, my unfortunate friend of youth, let's borrow a drink Soothe your sorrows. Where is the wine glass? Then the joy will rush to your heart! Sing me a song, how the tits live peacefully beyond the sea; sing me a song, how the maiden goes to the well in the morning Go draw water..." (Note: Pushkin's masterpiece)

Yinquan remained motionless, as if hypnotized.But I feel that the young man in front of me is like a dream, with long eyebrows like willows, deep black eyes full of confusion, pink lips slightly parted, and his voice is so soul-stirring, no matter what he says, it will make people lose their minds.

He thinks this is called a natural nobleman, right?Since he followed the fake stone, he was very concerned about his "master", but it is impossible to say that he really regards Baoyu as his master and respects him in his heart.As the son of the Zhen family, what he has to do is to continue the blood of the Zhen family, no matter how humble he is.Baoyu gave him a decent status. Although he was grateful, he was more apprehensive. Being noticed was not a good thing for him.

What Baoyu said on September No. 13 made him suddenly understand that he was actually behind the scenes. Even if the Jia family was convicted, he, a "student attached to a school", would be fine.He was truly grateful at that moment, willingly knelt down and called "Master".

He thought how old was Master Bao back then?ten years old!He never understood his master, and thought that the master treated him differently because of the power of the Zhen family.No wonder Mingyan and the others were loyal to Master Bao. He believed that even if the Jia family suffered disaster, there would still be people willing to go through fire and water for the young man in front of him.Now he is willing, he will die if he wants, he will not be the only one sent by the maidservant from the Zhen family, even though no one has said it, he just knows it.I just don't know where those brothers are, and what kind of masters they entrust.In this life, we have no chance to meet each other, nor do we know each other when we meet...

Tears welled up in his eyes and couldn't be stopped, he hurriedly turned his back and pretended to take tea.

The fake stone misunderstood, and pointed with his hand: "Chu Gong is over there, behind the curtain."

Behind the curtain is a great place!Yinquan put down the tea pot and ran behind the curtain.

False Stone saw the teapot, and remembered that the hot water had been boiled for too long and could not make tea, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Shi Yan! Fill the pot with clean water quickly, I want to make tea! I tell you, you have to drink while drinking." Tea, drink strong tea, that’s how you can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!” Suddenly remembering that Yinquan had to wash his hands in a while, he shouted again: “Take a pot, have you boiled hot water? Boil it and fill it with half a pot.”

There was a lot of fuss in the outside room, the five servants were not too careful, how could they boil the water in advance?And they didn't blanch the wine, they boiled the rice wine with ginger candy, which can only be cooked fresh.

A certain pair was impatient to wait, knocked on the plate and sang: "It's snowing, make new wine! It's good! Good wine! Good wine..."

One person rushed into the room: "How much did you drink?"

A certain one saw that it was Brother Liu's husband, and subconsciously shrank its neck: "Ask Yinquan, he poured it. Where's Mo Yu?"

Liu Xianglian gritted her teeth: "He has the foresight. When he heard that you ordered rice wine, he turned around and went to the old lady and the wife to tell you drunk. The master will know when he returns home. You don't have to say goodbye!"

That is, Mo Yu is one of the four servants left by Shenying's waiter, and the four boys are all sober.It must be admitted that the gods have vision, and the four servants he chose as fake stones are far behind in these aspects.

A certain one hummed in embarrassment: "Have you eaten?"

Liu Xianglian laughed: "I'm so drunk! I don't know the time! Can you see the hourglass clearly? What time is it?"

A certain one rubbed her bright eyes vigorously, and Liu Xianglian snorted: "Don't look, it's just after You Hour (five o'clock in the afternoon)."

Fake stones find reasons for themselves: "It's snowing and it's dark early, it looks like night, light the candlesticks."

What he said was true, at first he was just drinking and didn't read a book, the charcoal fire in the stove was glowing, and he didn't notice it when he was drunk.

Liu Xianglian shook her head and lit the candlestick, Shi Yan came in with a pot of water.

The fake stone rejoiced: "Don't wait! Pour the hot wine water into the basin, mix it with cold water and wash your hands."

Shi Yan thought he was going to wash his hands, so he called the servants to bring saponin glycerin.Liu Xianglian thought that the most important thing for the little brother-in-law was to wipe his face with a hot towel, and when he saw that there was no one in the room, he ran out to look for it.

In the chaos, Yinquan tidied up his emotions and came out.Fake Stone stared at him in surprise: "Wow! Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Yinquan guessed that his eye circles were red, and forced a smile with lowered eyes, to make fun of him: "How do you tell a lie?"

Fake Shitou puffed up his chest and sighed: "A man doesn't care about trifles! Brother, you have so many things to do every day, you don't have time to worry about trivial matters..."

Liu Xianglian came in with a handkerchief, and snorted, "That's nice, from now on you'll only tell lies, dare to tell the truth and put it on the martial arts field."

Fake Stone's face fell down: "The truth cannot be concealed, so many eyes see it!"

No one cared about the "truth" that a certain person only wanted to expose, Liu Xianglian grabbed him to wipe his face, and invited Quan Shiyan and others to refill the cup.

Drinking again, a certain one was held down by her brother-in-law and only allowed to drink tea. The more she drank, the more sober she became, and the more excited she was talking.Liu Xianglian was also teasing, the previous depression was gone in the room.

In the midst of the commotion, Mo Yu came to come after a certain "drunk" and brought Lian's second master.

Lian Er has always been quick to speak, and said, "Master Jia Yucun deposed to Hainan."
