Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 155, Chasing the Clouds

Jia's mother knew that her little golden grandson would not be harsh when she was idle, and once she said something, she would do what she said.

What Baoyu said was "today's matter, when the master heard a word of gossip, the master beat and killed the four mothers and their families."This is the idea that I have made up my mind to ignore my parents' wishes and kill them.

The password ban is not safe, the four families are all necessary to have children, the old lady did not have time to scrutinize, and immediately ordered the four families to be "sent to the village", and told the housekeeper Lai to tell them to go on the road quickly, and they must not be pleading , Delayed, she can't save.

The second thing is to ask everyone to beat the mother-in-law at the back door, and order Lin Zhixiao's family to inform the mother-in-law of the Wangfu, and together with the mother-in-law to beat the servant of Daiyu Xiangyunqiao's son, "Just say it seriously, human life Close the day".

The third thing is to call Madam Xing.Mrs. Xing was so forthright when she heard it, isn't it Feng Qiutong's mouth?That Fox~Meizi has long disliked her!So here I sent my mother-in-law to look for Qiutong, and there I boiled medicine for dumbness, and then poured it on Qiutong.You said that Qiutong is the housekeeper that Master She gave to Lian Er, is she not afraid of Master She's anger?

Who would complain for Qiutong?No one mentioned it, how could Mr. Xi think of it, he couldn't remember how many Yingyingyanyans he had.

After the three things were done, the old lady sent the women at the back door to ask questions, and ordered someone to call Qingwen.

The women guarding the back door of Jiamu's Court heard nothing: Although there was only a passage between the two doors, and the wind and snow were heavy, they closed the door when Master Bao went out the back door, went into the concierge to warm up and chat their teeth Young and orderly, Mingyan Sweeping Red first delivered charcoal to the mothers-in-law at the front and rear doors of Jiamuyuan, and then delivered it elsewhere, they didn't need to open the door to wait for the two boys).

Qingwen told the story honestly, only concealing the swear words, saying "the swear words pollute the master's ears".

How could Jia's mother not know the women's foul mouths, but if she scolded too much, it would be over if she got back at her, and Xiao Jinsun's habit of shouting and killing would have to be twisted.So when the younger generation said goodbye at night, he left Baoyu alone to speak.

Not to mention being educated, Fake Stone said with a bitter face that he was too angry, and then learned a few dirty words that Qingwen didn't dare to say.

Jia's mother secretly sighed that Xiao Jinsun was helpless, and her mouth was filled with relief: "This screwdriver chews and chews, it's really hateful! It's not just a few dirty words, nothing to do when you have nothing to do, just instigate the master to protect the shortcomings , I have experienced it all, and I have long wanted to use some methods. God is sorry, you are a scholar, where have you heard these words? Our old Jia's family is also a family of scholars. You have worked hard to run the family school. Many scholars, as long as they wait for others, they must change their dirty words! Seeing that the New Year is approaching, it is unlucky to shout and kill, so my grandmother drove them to the Zhuangzi first, and will beat them hard in the future!"

The fake stone knelt down and climbed the old lady's knees, dripping a few crocodile tears: "It's the grandson who is out of his mind. The old ancestor Lao is still worried about his grandson at this age. He really deserves to die! Only the grandson is thinking about how the old man got to this point today." Field? They scolded Qingwen, "The eyebrows are not scattered", and the grandson is not afraid of being ugly. To tell the truth, what kind of field does a man have to toss a woman to if he wants to be seduced? But if you go this way, can you turn back? Your whole life will be ruined!"

Mother Jia was astonished, as if being splashed with ice water, she never thought about the relationship, always thought that the boss was out of control, thinking back to the time when the boss was a good boy, he was a well-behaved boy!She couldn't help stroking Xiao Jinsun's head and said bitterly: "Good boy, my old lady lived eighty years in vain, and no child like you understands it clearly. She really deserves to be killed!"

Fake Stone took the opportunity to refurbish his own set of theoretical tricks, and the old lady nodded frequently.

So the grandparents and grandson decided to start from the dirty mouth, and they would be severely punished if they were caught.The gossip is not accurate, so we can only beat it from time to time, and if we catch the conspicuous ones, we will kill chickens and respect monkeys.

The fake stone said sinisterly: "It's 'gossip', and they must have a lot of excuses to hide and find the source. We only take 'gossip' as the standard, and those who spread it are guilty."

Although Jia's mother felt it a little bit, she still nodded her head, thinking that the old Jia's reputation would be so bad?

The man dominates the outside and the woman dominates the interior. The inner house is the old lady who speaks, and the outer courtyard is the master She who speaks.

When Mr. Xi heard what the old mother said, tears flowed down his face. He was a good person!That's right, my nature couldn't be better, and I haven't found it hard to live in the past few years of self-cultivation (that is, there is a high-end product, Xiang Lianyuai, who has changed ways to make you happy).He thought that his sons and concubines were all promising, so he had to straighten the family tradition!

Therefore, Mr. She, together with his political brother who was not used to it in every possible way before, recruited the steward of the outer courtyard of the Hefu to admonish him.

In this way, the Rong Mansion took the lead in years ago, and once again had a family style, all the slaves' skins were tightly tightened.

The domestic servants dared not spread gossip publicly, so how could they not say anything in private, most of them knew that the matter was caused by the short-sighted servant who offended Second Master Bao, and became more and more afraid of fake stones.

As soon as New Year's Eve arrived, this was the first ancestor worship in the Rong Mansion after the sect was divided.In the absence of the patriarch, Master She will officiate.

Master Xi has this strength?have!The power of the spirit is infinite... Well, it was Mrs. Wang and the fake stones who thought that Mr. Xi should not die indiscriminately, and should die when needed, so after Lian Er was given a real job, they both stopped taking medicine by appointment.After five months of raising him, Master Xi has improved a bit, not so weak that he can't even stand still.It is said that the two of them have a better understanding than the real mother and son. The medicines given are only to make people weak, so they can last for a long time. If someone dies and then give a heavy dose of medicine, others will just think that someone can't keep it going.

Gossip aside.Worshiping the ancestors and going to the ancestral hall, Lian Er failed to achieve the goal of setting up the ancestral hall in Rongqing Hall, because the Dukes of Ning and Rong had already prepared their hands. Back then, the two brothers hoped that the old Jia's family would pass on forever. One day, two identical yards were built to show the same roots.Therefore, after the division of the clan, the Rong Mansion is very trouble-free. Only the plaque and the long couplet of the ancestral hall are made after "the heart is spread, the surname is due to the grace of conservation; the fame pervades the sky, and the prosperity of a hundred generations has been steamed and tasted". Yan Shenggong's handwriting in the era of Duke Guo.There are also some royal pens of the Tai~Zu~Huang, which cannot be expanded, and Ning Rong has divided the two branches.

The ancestral hall is located in the General's Mansion of the First Emperor Changshe. There are five gates inside the black oil fence. There are white stone pathways in the yard, green pines and cypresses on both sides of the passage, and green and ancient bronze tripods and other utensils are set on the platform.

It was time for men and women of the whole family to gather together, with Jia Amnesty as the officiant and Jia Zheng as the accompanying sacrifice; Baoyu presented the title, Jia Cong presented the silk, and Jia Lan held the incense; Burn the pond.

Because the body of Mr. She is not strong enough, the time for the officiant sacrifice is very short-three offerings of the title and then worship, and then burning silk and drinking wine. After the ceremony, all the men left the main hall.

Women do not enter the main hall, they only enter the ancestral hall once when they are married, and enter the ancestral hall after death.Every year to worship the ancestors, the mistresses and girls can only stand in the sill under the corridor of the main hall, concubines are not allowed to come, and there is no place for concubines to worship the ancestors.What the female relatives have to do is pass on the offerings. Sister Feng is not here. Li Wan is not suitable as the eldest daughter-in-law of the second room. Madam Xing can only pass on the offering. Jia Mu's offering is placed on the altar table in front of the door.

After the dishes, rice, soup, wine and tea were passed around, men and women held incense and bowed to each other, but they heard the sound of women's rings and jade pendants swaying, and the sound of men's kneeling and boots rustling, other than that, nothing was heard, as if the winter wind was blowing. Frozen in the air.

After the fake stone was penetrated into the red building, there have been eight times of offering sacrifices to the ancestors every year. Only this time, I feel inexplicably solemn, and my eyes are actually moist.He thought it was probably because he had been trying to divide the sect for eight years, the eight-year war of resistance!People always pay close attention to things that they have worked hard to obtain, and they have a sense of belonging to the old Jia family without knowing it.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone hugged the old lady's warm sedan chair and returned.

The main hall of Jiamuyuan has already been covered with red felt, and pines, cypresses, incense, lilies, etc. are burning in the gilded enamel brazier.

When the old lady returned to her seat, several older sisters-in-law of the same generation came to greet her, held hands to exchange greetings, had a symbolic sip of tea, and saw off the guests (everyone had to go back to their home for the New Year).

After that, Jia Daixiu came to see him on crutches, and Jia Zheng helped Jia Amnesty.Greetings and drinking tea as usual, Mr. Zheng sent off the clan elders on behalf of his brother, and Mr. She sat down beside Jiamu.

The next step is simple: Mr. Zheng took the men of the family's Chinese language "Yucaoshui" together to pay New Year's greetings, and Mrs. Xing Wang and his wife brought the female relatives together to pay New Year's greetings.

Next came the men and women of the Rong Mansion, the young servants and the maids, who saluted up and down according to the orders, and then scattered the old purses.

After making noise for about half an hour, the feast was finally set up, and the men and women of the family sat back and forth.

Master Xi is already exhausted, and he has to go back after offering Tusu wine, acacia soup, auspicious fruit, and Ruyi cake.Mr. Zheng firmly wants to see off brother, and says that he is here, so the juniors dare not let go of Le.

Jiamu Enzhun felt a little sadness in her heart: I am old and old, and old brothers are affectionate!If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't let all my servants go.I also remembered that Xiao Jin's grandson brought an auspicious sign, but secretly thought that it should be here. It's strange that everyone said that Baoyu was like the prince of the country.The Naning Mansion was also cleaned up, the post was returned to the eldest son, and all the unfilial sons and grandchildren were sent back to Jinling...

Not to mention how vigilant Jia Mu was, after the ceremony before the banquet, Qin Zhongyinquan was summoned (Liu Xianglian went to his aunt's house).The two younger ones had kowtowed to Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Wang, and the younger Qin Zhong had to kowtow to Baoyu Jia Cong before the banquet began.

The banquet was held all night, and Jia Mu was too old to keep the year old, and she was tired before the appointment.The two wives of King Xing also went back. Unlike Mother Jia, they had to make up their makeup at five o'clock tomorrow morning, go to the palace to congratulate, and only pay New Year's greetings to the virtuous concubine.

The rest of the people will be led by Li Wan to continue the fun.Tanchun will get married in March next year, and Daiyu and Xiangyun will be married in February. This is the last year of being a girl, and it will definitely be exciting and noisy.The old lady can't be noisy, so they go to Xiaoguanzhuang together, where is the banquet?

In Xiaoguanzhuang, there are clusters of flowers and bright lights hanging high, and the upper and lower people are laughing and chatting loudly.

The banquet was held at Ouxiangxie, Xichun's former residence.That's right, when she finishes her 27 months of filial piety for her biological father, she must change her ways and still stay in Jingxin Nunnery. Isn't this residence the old residence?

The lotus root champagne is next to the glimmering pond, from the pond to the open ground in front of the main hall (herbs cannot grow in mid-winter), there are various ice sculptures of birds and beasts, flowers, trees, fishes and dragons, stars, moons and pavilions. Ji, the ice sculptures will not be covered by the snow, and the lanterns will be hung or placed in the ice sculptures.If you don't write poems and write lyrics in this situation, you can't live with the fake stone. You can't hide from the fake stone.

It is said that he went to the nunnery to announce the good news that day, but he dared not speak out, so he went around the mountains and rivers to lead the words to Yinquan.But He Xichun had no impression of Mr. Liu Shu, but he understood what he meant, and said: "Second brother thinks it's good, then that's good, as long as the master and wife are willing to do this." A certain one was very happy and croaked.But Xichun got a temper tantrum: "Even if the old lady and the old lady look good, why did you come to ask me secretly? Marriage is always the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker!" A certain ghost said: "As long as the fourth sister I don't want to, brother has the ability to ruin this matter, anyway, the master said to wait for another year." Xichun laughed, nodded at him and said: "Everyone says you are the most polite, but it was only on the surface! Good second brother, you can't Do this. Although he is an orphan from a poor family, he is also a scholar who knows the book and respects the etiquette. We treat him according to the etiquette.

The fourth girl is so knowledgeable about etiquette, and the fake stone is only the younger sister's order, which will firmly demand that a screen be erected between men and women.

All the talented women don't think he is talking about etiquette: with a screen, it's so easy to cheat!

That's right, a certain one is trying to cheat. In addition to talented scholars, he also has Qin Zhong who writes poems with spirituality, Jia Lan who has a solid foundation, and the worst Jia Cong who passed the county test. Let's see what happens. stump him!

Talented women can't allow a certain one to cheat so easily, go to the side of the screen, let the youngest sister Qiao start the sentence, link the poem!

In this way, it was eloquently recited into "35 rhymes of couplet sentences in Xiaoguanzhuang on New Year's Eve".

In order to force Baosi to come up with strange sentences, the rhymes can be jumped.With this care, a certain one is happy.

So it is different from the original "Aujingguan couplet poem sad and lonely", occasionally the sadness is immediately disturbed, such as "Crane shadow crossing the cold pond" appeared in Xiangyun, and a famous line "Flying snow welcomes spring" by a certain great man Arrived"; Daiyu came to say "the soul of the flower is buried in the cold moon", and the nephew of Qin Xian leisurely responded with "the strong wind and the sword chant"...

All the way to the middle of the night, there were still firecrackers and noisy people everywhere.Li Wan forced the girls and boys to rest, but the servants could take turns, and the master had to get up at the latest at the beginning of the morning (seven o'clock in the morning) to accept the kowtow of the servants, and then he might receive New Year's guests in the mansion, or he would go on the first day of the lunar new year. New Year's greetings.For example, Baoyu wants to go to Zuo Shi's house, the master is his father, and he cannot kowtow on New Year's Eve. The first head on the first day of the new year is to worship the teacher.

The fake stone pretended to be overwhelmed with alcohol, and forced Yinquan to send him off, talking all the way about the matters that the county examination government should pay attention to: Shan Juren is always a helper, and this year Yinquan will be the leader. hospital to go.Jialan, Jiazhu, Qin Zhong and others have to come back halfway because of his marriage.Liu Xianglian can't even count on that she can sneak away for a few days during the county exam. During the preparatory period for the government exam, she is newly married. After the marriage, she has to live in Rongfu for a month, and then visit relatives and friends. She can't be free for two months.

When they arrived at the residence, the fake stone insisted on dragging Mr. Liu Shu to "talk together at night".

After washing, the door was closed, and a certain one woke up instantly, and said: "You have met my fourth younger sister twice, would you like to take her as your wife?"

Yinquanxiang was spending the New Year at the family school, and he had felt it since Jia Congqiang dragged him to Baoxia, so he just lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll miss the fourth girl."

Baoyu knew that he meant that if anything happened, his fame would be lost.So he said: "My fourth younger sister is only the sister of a prisoner. If the family tree is changed, the blood relatives will always be blood relatives, and the blood will not change."

Yinquan raised his head sharply, with tears in his eyes, but it was because of blood that the Zhen family sent out their son secretly, otherwise, if they had concealed their identities and changed their surnames, what would it have to do with the heirs of the Zhen family?

Baoyu sighed slightly: "I want to hand over the family school to you and Xianglian. This is the foundation of life. The children of the Jia family, the children after you and Xianglian, and the students of the attached school, only when the foundation is laid when they are young, can they have hope for the future. Don't be confused and seek your own death. Only then can we obtain long-term peace and bless future generations. Do you understand?"

Yinquan pounced and knelt down: "The slave will do his best to live up to the entrustment of the master!"

Baoyu pulled him up and said with a smile, "When you become my brother-in-law, you will be a family. You can't keep kneeling." Then he bent his ear and said, "You must never become an official. It's just 'not to be an official'. Juren doesn't bother to run away." Official, how can you be an official? In a few years, when the opportunity is right, you can go to the Juren examination, just saying that you can't let the family school have no Juren because of his age..."

The author has something to say: It’s easy for me. I have been in the Red Mansion for eight full years before I can report to the agency by chance, and I am about to be sent to the marriage hall...
