Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

A woman's dowry is only reserved for her own children, and her husband's family has no right to use it. The Lin family, which has four generations of princes and five generations of important ministers, will never covet this wealth.But Jia Min has been married for more than 20 years, and she will spend some, like giving jewelry to relatives and friends.In addition, consumables are indispensable in the dowry, such as ginseng and deer antler cotton silk, which cannot be stored for more than 20 years.Zhuangzi's shop will also be damaged. It is impossible to have a smooth business for so many years.In this way, he was a ten-mile red makeup back then, but now he has five or six achievements.

Lin Ruhai nodded: "Most of your aunt's dowry is kept in the mansion in Kyoto, and the ones brought to Yangzhou will be packed by my servants. You can take them to Kyoto. It's scorching summer, and you still get used to Yangzhou cuisine?"

After a few idle words, Jia Lian saw that Lin Ruhai was tired, so he took Baoyu and left.He is not an idiot. If there was a reason for what happened last time, this time he clearly felt Lin Ruhai's indifference to the only daughter-in-law. I am afraid that his aunt and uncle are not as congenial as everyone thinks, and it is better for him and his family. As for Yan Zhihu, if Wang Xifeng returns to the west, he can't do anything like throwing sister Qiao to Wang Ren's house and ignoring her. Can this be a good thing?

Baoyu secretly rejoiced: the adopted son is also a son, as long as the Jia family was not in Yangzhou when Lin Ruhai died, the outside world would not think that the property of the Lin family fell to the Jia family.If I and Jia Lian don't come, Jia Zheng is in the official position, and Jia pardons... This guy can't be moved by himself, so it's better to use Jia's mother's brains.It's just an old fox-style Shi Taijun, can his millet teeth move?

On the sixth day, Lin Ruhai hosted a banquet of confession.The adopted son was sixteen years old and his name was Lin Xing.

Lin Xing is not a member of the Lin clan. His ancestors were loyal servants who fought with Lord Lin and saved the life of Lord Hou. He released Grace and donated a small official to him. Walking with each other is better than that of Lord Hou. A clan descended from several bastards.It was said that Lin Xing's father suffered a disaster in the family: the eldest son of the concubine landed first before the birth of the legitimate son.Once Lin Xing's biological mother left, he had no place to stand at home, and his father had some feelings for the eldest son, so he begged to go to the old master's door.

Lin Ruhai saw that Lin Xing's talent was not bad, so he took him around to do some chores.This year Lin Xing also passed the government examination and became a child, and after passing the college examination, he will be a scholar, no longer a white body.Yangzhou and Gusu are not far away, after Lin Ruhai made up his mind, he sent his servants to invite Father Lin, Father Lin was not to mention how happy he was, so he hurried to Yangzhou.

After the important matter was settled, Lin Ruhai called the two nephews to the living room, and handed them a few square boxes.

In the box, apart from jewellery, there were three thousand taels of silver bills, the title deed of the capital house, the deed documents of the guard servants, the deed of Jia Min's dowry to Zhuangzi and the shop, and the deeds of all the servants in charge, etc.There are always one piece added, neither thick nor thin.

Jia Lian said that he would give all these to the old lady, and asked Uncle Lin to write a letter to the ancestor and Cousin Lin, saying that the cousin had been studying with the female husband and knew many words and so on.

Lin Daiyu's enlightenment teacher is Jinshi, how can she not understand the letter?Lin Ruhai had no choice but to throw a practical banquet and send the two bastard nephews away.

Lian and Bao are not gentlemen. As soon as they board the boat, they make Xiaoqiao open the letter and read it.

The letters to Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng are gorgeous in parallel, but the content is empty; the letter to Lin Daiyu is nothing more than exhorting "to live a good life with my grandmother and uncles and sisters"; Remuneration", "The daughter's marriage is decided by the mother-in-law" and so on.

Jia Lian snorted: "Just throw it to our family! Give the old ancestor a copy of the dowry slip, and make a copy for Cousin Lin. She understands everything at the age of nine, so let her keep it by herself. Don't think our family is greedy for her." family wealth."

Baoyu nodded and said "yes", and said: "You can't give it to the old lady in private, those shallow-sighted people in our family won't believe it, you must submit it in front of the family members of the whole family, so as not to cause trouble in the house. Why don't you stop in Jing County for a while?" In the evening, I sent someone to send a letter home, telling me when I would arrive home, and immediately greeted the ancestors, the eldest wife and the second wife, and asked the ancestors to call the elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and sisters to welcome us. Do you have any candidates for the letter? "

Lian'er turned his eyes white, and delivered a lot of letters, but if he did not do what Baoyu said, he must have been amputated by the Yanzhi tiger from front to back.Going to Jia Zhen's side for a detour won't work, and a group of servants from the Ning Mansion will definitely intercept her at the pier.At this moment, he is suffering from the painful feeling that there is no one in the inner weft.

Baoyu didn't urge him, but went to the cabin door and ordered Mingyan to call Li Guilai.

A group of servants were locked up in the Lin Mansion for nearly ten days, all of them felt uneasy, even when they boarded the boat, they took their places and did not dare to run around.After a while, Li Gui entered the Chinese cabin, and Baoyu wanted to stay in the cabin again, so he told them what he wanted and asked how they could do it.

Before Li Gui could make a sound, Mingyan raised his hand and said, "I'll go! Master wrote a letter of safety. I said that it was Er Bao Bao who was afraid that the old ancestor would worry about sending me to deliver the letter first. The two masters will be home in a few days. The old lady will pass it on to me." Go ask, and I will speak quietly."

Li Gui glanced at him: "My wives and grandmas are asking you where you landed from and how you got back to the house? The two masters just write down what you want to say in the letter, and I will go to the house of the housekeeper Lai, please Mammy brought a letter to the old lady to say hello."

Baoyu looked at Lian Er: "Do you think it's possible?"

Jia Lian smiled wryly: "Just do what Li Gui said." Even if his servants ran to Lai Da's house, the stewards under him would ask questions about what to do, and a lot of right and wrong would arise.Li Gui belonged to the old lady, those people didn't dare to seek trouble, they would take him to see Nanny Lai immediately.Speaking of which, he also had a long-term follower who was rewarded by the old lady. After Wang Xifeng passed the door, the little envoy resorted to "more important things".Looking at it now, he didn't have anyone he could trust and use when it came to Newei.

Lian Er was furious, this time he was really angry!After Baoyu sent the two servants away, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm worse than the family you said! Whenever there is something wrong with me, she doesn't know about it. She cares about everything. I wish I could take care of you." Tie it to her trouser belt! As for her, she has done countless dirty things with my official post in private! I intend to copy my name post and take it back, but our good uncle is not in Beijing. Crying out the letter, repairing a book and sending it to the old man, I will be beaten to death, and she will do whatever she wants afterwards!"

Baoyu sighed: "It's half a catty, that's not filial. The second wife loves me so much that I wish I were a marionette. There is no other way but to use my brains on the servant. My cousin is fearless. What about Ping'er? Holding a man's name card and sticking out the door of the house, what is the crime? Tell her the law, and you can't scare her to death! And those people in Laiwang, you don't have to tell others, just speak out, dare to use your name Tie do things you don’t know, never let you know, once they know, they will be sent to the government! See if they dare. What can Mr. Wang say about the righteous words? You are not afraid of opening the ancestral hall! When I turn my face, I have to turn my face, if I dare not disobey Uncle Lin, let's wait for death with the whole house!"

Lian Er's blood boiled when he heard this, and he was gearing up to talk about how to rectify the inner weft.Speaking of which, he wasn't afraid of Jia Amnesty, and he didn't think much of him in his heart, so what else could he do besides playing with concubines and antiques?What can he do?It was nothing more than a swearing, so terrible that he dared to beat him, the only remaining son, to death?Wang Xifeng's uncle is a high-ranking and powerful uncle who can deprive him of his succession qualifications. He also has a nephew who is a direct relative, who is a child born at a young age, so he is on guard against Baoyu in his heart.Now that Wang Ziteng is only mediocre to both of them, maybe there is still a possibility of plotting against the Jia family as a scapegoat, so why bother Wang Xifeng?

Baoyu didn't want the inner house to be full of wars, so he advised him to stay safe and not to worry, saying that the key for a man is to have money and people, so that even if he has no official hat, he has power. Don't you see that a merchant can play with the officialdom?

Speaking of this, he shared Jinling's "Official Protection Talisman" and his own analysis.Lian Er knew about the "official protection talisman", all the provinces had it, but he didn't have the three-point understanding of his good brother, so he didn't want to be outdone, so he immediately revealed what he knew.Most of the fake stones have never met face to face, and Wen Lian Er's words are deeply rewarding, and the words of flattery flow out.Lian Er couldn't help fluttering, and found that it was nice to talk to Bao's second brother seriously, what kind of big brother Zhen, who is also the patriarch, has less knowledge than Yi Tongsheng!

How can you not have a banquet and drink when you are so happy?All the servants of the two men were summoned, no need for Xiao Hong and Zi Xiao, Lian Er is currently in deep gender hatred.

The place of the banquet is in Lian Er's luxurious cabin. If he is a good learner, he will definitely lose if he is not at home.

Of course, bad wine is not served, and good wine can also hurt the body. Fake Stone takes great care of the body. As a result, the petty actions of Mingyan and Xinger are noticed by Longer and Xinger, and they can't stop reporting even if they put money.

Lian Er was very happy, he didn't want to spoil his little military adviser, improvising how to avoid alcohol and how to pretend to be drunk.Baoyu admires him a lot, and his kung fu practiced in the sales battlefield is more profound, so don't underestimate the ancients, especially the ancient dudes.

No trivia.Baoyu has been separated from his confidant servant for a long time, and he has to test his homework.

The Mingyans were imprisoned in the Lin Mansion. They were nervous and did not dare to run around and play around. After reading for a few days, Xiao Hongzixiao also had their own strengths. Keep up the good work.

After the exam, Baoyu left Xiaohong alone.He attaches great importance to this girl, but it is not easy to subdue her, she has a child!His father, Lin Zhixiao, was one of the stewards in charge of the farm in the Rong Mansion, and his mother was one of the housekeepers in the inner courtyard. Both husband and wife were very low-key, and Sister Feng laughed at them as a dumb couple.Scholars who ate at the Red Mansion once studied that "Lin Zhixiao and his wife" were domestic servants given to the Cao family, that is, the Jia family in the Red Mansion, by the abolished prince.In the world of Red Mansions, there is no abolished prince, only the hidden prince, Prince Yizhong. Lin Zhixiao and his wife are descended from the wife of Rong Guogong. Mother Jia has wiped out her mother-in-law. Xiaohong's two younger brothers were idle at home next to the elderly grandma.

It's not impossible to get Xiaohong's body deed from Jia's mother, but Xiaohong still has a family, so what if the two immature younger brothers are jerks in the future?Laiwang and his wife are capable, but their son can only drink and gamble.

Fake Shitou put on a sip of tea and said with a smile: "I have always valued you, how do you think Sister Meiren is doing?"

A certain news was blocked in place. Xiaohong didn't know that Meiren opened a shop and an embroidery workshop. She only knew that she married a farmer with a farm. She was shocked and replied: "In Jing County, it should be okay. Farmers depend on the sky for their food. The past two years have been considered smooth, if there is a drought or flood, there will be a plague of locusts, I am afraid it will be hard to bear."

Baoyu raised his eyebrows: "So you don't want to be a farmer?"

Xiao Hong fell to her knees, her voice trembling: "The maidservant's grandma is not a child of a family, she was originally a daughter of a farmer in Henan. When she was eight years old, there was a severe drought in her hometown, and then it rained heavily, and then the earth dragon turned over, and the earth trembled and the mountains shook, causing death and injury. I don’t know how much! She escaped with her great-grandfather, and she couldn’t eat the bark and wild vegetables all the way. She ate Guanyin soil, and her great-grandmother died after eating it! She changed her son to eat, and her younger siblings were eaten! On the way to escape There is no way to lead, and there are refugees after a hundred miles, and no city will allow refugees to enter the city. The great-grandfather sold her to Ren Yazi, only to have a bowl of chaffy rice. Fortunately, Ren Yazi sold her to our house , to survive. Grandma has been telling the servants to be safe, beg the Lord, Xiaohong only wants a stable meal, and never dares to expect extravagantly."

Other people's experience, even the experience of relatives, just listen to it.Baoyu reckoned that Xiaohong had been a third-class maid for a long time, but now that she had climbed to the first-class maid, she was reluctant to take this position.So he said with a smile: "An stable meal? Then I can give it back. This time you go back and ask your mother, if your two younger brothers have nothing to do, bring them to me."

Xiao Hong was overjoyed and kowtowed to thank her again and again.Baoyu snorted coldly: "No need! I want you to do things for me, instead of being a servant in the house or a housekeeper's wife. You can also ask your mother if she would like it."

Xiaohong immediately said: "The servant is the master's man, how dare you disobey the master's order!"

Baoyu is inexplicably depressed, and Xiaohong's response is quite satisfactory, but he is depressed!He kept telling himself not to be emotional with servants, especially maids, but people are emotional animals, how can they be without feelings after getting along for a long time, but Xiaohong only regards him as the master, but it is precisely because of this that he dares to use Xiaohong at ease, contradictory ah!
