Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

When I went in May, I returned in September.There was no rush on the way to the north, and Lian Er learned a new word "investigate the market", which was very suitable for him, so he didn't delay drinking flower wine!It doesn't need to cost a few dollars, there is no Xuejia crenel here, although it is not along the road, but as long as there is one, it is located in a bustling port that he is interested in, so why go elsewhere to pay for it?

Baoyu persuaded him to buy an antique for Jia She, even if it was not worth a few pennies, at least as a token of his heart, he asked Jia She to nod for the Spring Festival wedding.

Lian's second son swallowed the mountains and rivers angrily: "Your cousin will handle it! She said: 'The Wang family has a lot of money. Sweep the cracks in the floor, and it will be enough for your Jia family to last for several lifetimes!'"

Oops, it seems that this sentence is Sister Feng's catchphrase, and Baoyu is too lazy to persuade her.

This morning the boat was docked at the wharf of Jing County. Jia Lian bundled all his servants on board, and Baoyu ordered Li Gui and Mingyan Sao Hong, the messengers, to disembark. Let's see if we can get news from our family.

It was Meiren's embroidery shop that Mingyan and Saohong went to, and it was Mingyan's old lady who helped Baoyu and the Meiren couple contact each other. She would definitely bring back some news.The two came back after the oily mouthfuls they ate in the evening, and reported to the elder of the Rong Mansion that he bought another Jiao'e for a thousand taels of silver; Brother Qiang of the Ning Mansion moved out, and Master Zhen bought a big house for Brother Qiang. The east and west moved there like "ten miles of red makeup"; and then Grandma Xiaorong's long-ill father, Master Qin, passed away at the beginning of June. Grandma Xiaorong was so sad that she fell ill. I visited the house several times, and every time the maid and mother-in-law accompanied me with many things...

Baoyu's eyes are straight, Qin Ye is still dead, but he is so old, it should have nothing to do with me, right?

Lian Er then asked Jia Qiang if she was engaged to get married—marrying means becoming an adult, and she will no longer go to the family school, and something needs to be arranged separately.

The two servants shook their heads to express their ignorance.Baoyu came back to her senses, and thought that if Jia Qiang got married and moved out of the Ning Mansion, it would be logical. If she moved out for no reason, would this be to restore her reputation or ruin her reputation?Even "Ten Miles of Red Makeup" has come out, let's set up an outside room!

Of course, the scene has something to say.Fake Shitou and Xi said: "Brother Qiang is old, I'm afraid I'm discussing marriage, living in my uncle's house is not a thing after all. Don't worry, there is Jia Zhu."

Lian Er nodded, and turned to discuss how Ming'er might enter the government and revive Gangchang.

Baoyu smiled wryly, and couldn't help thinking of Wang Xifeng's verdict on the Red Chamber: "All birds come from the end of the world, and they all know that they love this life's talent. One from two to three people, crying to Jinling is even more sad." Anyway, he doesn't love Sister Feng. The talents are not far off, and Sister Feng called it "the one who seeks wealth and kills without blinking an eye, and invites disaster and trouble".But Jia Lian's self-sufficient face is also eye-catching. Once Wang Ziteng is gone, the two of them will face each other, and the word "Xiu" will come out immediately.He doesn't plan to care about it, one is domineering and the other is playful, one is a cousin and the other is a cousin, and none of them are separated by mountains and rivers. They are all direct relatives, who will help?

Just as he was talking, Li Gui came back, galloping all the way on horseback.

It was not easy to get on the boat, and Mingyan and Saohong took him to the house of "relatives" for resettlement.Li Gui reported to Jiamu that he had sent a message, and the butler Lai would go to the pier to pick up the boat tomorrow morning.

The two masters looked at each other, and Jia Lian called for the meal in a loud voice, telling everyone to rest early after the meal, and return to the house in good spirits tomorrow.

Baoyu listened to orders the most, and he rested before Xu time (before seven o'clock in the evening), his thoughts were chaotic, and he immediately went into the small space of the five-colored stone.

Wucaishi was depressed, and said, "I told you to ask Qin Ye again. It's good, I'm dead! That Qinqing is probably, no, ten to ten was killed by him, don't try to figure it out. It's a symptom!"

Bao Yuxin said that if I ran to the Qin Mansion, I would be a stupid pig sent to my door to be slaughtered alive!He said in his mouth: "It is dead. Qin Qing was a famous prostitute in Kyoto back then, but it happened more than 20 years ago, and many insiders are alive."

Wucai Shi laughed: "You idiot, how do you ask? Do you want some truth? You are not a monster, but you are also a monster! I want to go for you, and there is no one in the whole house to touch! Who can you find outside? Lizi Unteachable..."

It is said that Wucaishi has been with time-traveling gangsters for a long time, and the language has become a mixture, modern for a while, ancient for a while, scolding tea kung fu in half a word.It will be very angry because of its own curiosity. If the fake stone can live past 20 years old this time, it will go. Never know a little secret.And the false stone dies early and is reborn again, it can't make it, uh, it can't do it, it's just a stone that hasn't been cultivated into a human shape, and its magic power is gone.

The fake stone guessed the five-colored stone's mind accurately, and if I said it, besides working hard to live, I also had the responsibility of satisfying the curiosity of "Spiritual Treasure Jade", how aggrieved!

Of course, a certain one would never offend the five-colored stone, and smiled in relief: "There is no need to use mantras, the time has come, and it is logical to inquire about the piano. It's just that I have to wait until I grow up. At this age, they will think that I should not know. .”

Wucaishi thought about this, and You gasped and said: "When you grow up, the daylily will wither! Qin Keqing is already sick and won't live until next year's autumn. Once she dies, the thunder she planted will never come out again!"

The fake stone was entangled: "Yes, at most two years, I won't grow much... and I will act according to the camera! Qin Ye's death is not without benefits. Qin Zhong has to keep his filial piety for three years, so he won't come to harm the family school."

Wucaishi said "bah": "It's really a good thing! It is a custom to keep filial piety and study. Since Qin Zhong is young, Ningfu will definitely take him over to be with his sister and brother-in-law. He goes to the family school to study and never leaves the house."

Yo, that's what happened.There is no such thing as a three-year hut in front of the parents' grave, the world of Red Mansions.Jia's family members died, and after seven to forty-nine days of ceremonies, they went to Tiechan Temple for a while, and waited until they were turned into bones before sending them to the ancestral grave for burial, saving the smell of dead bodies on the road.During this period, it is nothing more than going to offer incense during festivals, and filial sons and grandsons will not stay in the temple as monks on weekdays.

He couldn't help but heaved a big sigh. Qin Ye died behind Qin Keqing, but he was turned upside down. If he said that it had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't dare to admit it. After being forced to confess by him, Qin Ye lay in bed and never got up again. .However, he knew the consequences and would still do this. Who would close his eyes and let himself be cheated to death?Wucaishi blamed him for not asking him again!

At about the same time, Ping'er quietly reported to Sister Feng: "Yuanyang said, it's just Baoyu playing tricks, and he said that he came back from a big event, and he must be picked up by his wife, grandmother, sisters and sisters, otherwise he will not be able to enter the house by sitting at the corner door."

Sister Feng snorted coldly: "Don't treat him like a child, Brother Rong will eat him up~ rubbing him, he is so scheming! Most likely our master is ignorant of money and ruthless, he wants to use eye drops in public and make a fuss!"

Ping'er didn't dare to make a sound, Sister Feng stared at the lights for a while, then laughed suddenly: "It's what the men planned to set up as a school, and it has nothing to do with us. Do you want me to use the dowry money to fill it?"

Ping'er hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "After all, you don't look good. Or let Laiwang's daughter-in-law stay at the corner gate, pass a message to Baoyu, and get over this pass first."

Sister Feng clapped angrily: "What do you say? Second Grandma will take care of everything? Lai Wang'er is so dazed that she doesn't know how to persuade Master! Just look, my good aunt will definitely not give up, but only fifty taels Yin, she was able to force Brother Qiang out of the East Mansion! Living in the mansion, she is more capable of tossing around, and she must make us spit it out twice, so that her golden bumps will be satisfied!"

Ping'er was speechless, or how could he say that Second Master Lian was a mess, so many baskets were broken, but Second Grandma cleaned up for him.

Not to mention how the wife and concubines of the big house are worried about each other, and Mrs. Wang is also frowning. She didn't think about whether it was a mess to buy the school field.This is to fight for fame, and it is also worth buying one or two acres.She was not feeling well because the old lady knew that Baoyu was going to return first, but if she knew first, the old lady would be unwell, and since she was awake, she would report a letter to the old lady first.At this moment, she seriously hated the old godmother for living too long, which hindered their mother and child, but if the old lady really returned home, the second room would have to move out of the Rongfu. Far from it.

In the past, she also wanted to seek the title of Dafang, but before Jia Lian got married, she was protected by an old lady, and Jia Cong, born of a good concubine, was there for her.When Jia Lian gets married, how can Sister Feng be easy to get along with? The yard is more tightly controlled than the old lady's backyard, and even a eyeliner can't get in.Go to the second brother's side, she is an aunt who has been married for a long time, and Sister Feng is a niece who grew up with her uncle, and the second brother will not favor either.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth secretly with hatred: This is the old lady's "eccentric" second wife, who tried to marry Sister Feng for Jia Lian in a different way, just in case the second wife is still close!

No matter how the little Wangs twist their minds, a new day will come as scheduled.

Jing County is close to the capital city, especially the wharf, and the waterway can be moved in half an hour.

Butler Lai stayed at the pier with his men and horses early in the morning. There were not many pedestrians on the road. Jia Lian wanted to play the role of power, abandoning the sedan chair and riding a horse, and Baoyu was not allowed to sit in the sedan chair.The fake stone man has short legs, and Lian Er rides with him in order to show respect for brothers and sisters.

Ma Dian is more annoying than sedan chair Dian, so Lai Wang's daughter-in-law waiting at the Xijiao Gate saw the phoenix egg with a red face and half of her tongue sticking out, as if she was about to be strangled to death!

Lian Er rode his horse through the door until he reached the gate of the old lady's backyard.Laiwang's daughter-in-law can't pass a message to Baoyu, and it's too late for someone to pass a message to Lian's second grandmother.

Lian and Bao were dressed in riding clothes today, and they didn't ride their horses galloping on the road, so their riding clothes didn't look messy.Lian Er took Baoyu's hand and strode in. Poor one had to trot to follow.

Mother Jia suppressed her excitement and didn't come out to welcome her as her beloved darling told her. She sat high in the main hall, and her granddaughter Lin Daiyu sat on a small chair beside her. The family general, the old lady, led all the female relatives to receive the battle report.

When she saw the big and small Jinsun's forehead dripping with sweat, Jia's mother couldn't bear it any longer, she stood up and laughed, "Could it be that he rushed over eight hundred roads..."

Before he finished speaking, Jia Lian pulled Baoyu away, pushed the Jinshan upside down and knelt down on the jade pillar, and said loudly: "Report to the old matriarch, the grandson has set up a sacrificial field according to the discussion of Zuhefu, and I will report all the details later." There is another important event today. When the grandson returned to the north, the boat stopped in Yangzhou and went to visit Uncle Lin. It happened that Uncle Lin recognized his son (whether he is an heir or not). Now, everyone in the Lin clan is a cousin, Lin Xing is not, but he can be called a cousin if he becomes Lin Ruhai's adopted son). Congratulations to Cousin Lin for getting Brother Qilin! (Continue to be vague, anyway, he didn’t say he was the heir brother)”

The house was full of silence. Mother Jia had thought that Lin Ruhai might adopt a step-heir, but it was such a coincidence. She thought it was not a "coincidence". Even if I informed my family, I was exempted from bargaining with my family over Daiyu's dowry.

Sure enough, Lian Er went on to say: "Uncle Lin said that Cousin Lin lived in my uncle's house for a long time. He lives in Yangzhou, and the two places are separated by a long distance. Fearing that something will happen, he specially prepared a ceremonial makeup for his cousin and ordered us to take it to the capital. Baoyu—"

The fake stone rose in response, and took the dowry list inside the boot bucket from the boot bucket.Daiyu was shy and wanted to avoid it, so a certain dog called out: "Cousin stay a step, uncle has something to say, please ask my cousin to finish listening to the playlist!"

Jia Mu's complexion gradually sank, she was old and smart, she knew the general situation by listening, and hated Jia Lian to the core!According to her thinking, it must be Lin Ruhai who used money to gag Lian Er's mouth, she is an idiot, thinking about Baoyu's less share, can his mother, Wang, make up for it?The wool comes from the sheep, and the second room digs up the wealth of the big house... No matter the big room or the second room, it is all the wealth of Rongfu!He also hates Lin Ruhai: Could it be that Lin Xing is your illegitimate son?To be so harsh on the prostitute, she doesn't pay attention to her mother-in-law at all!

After that Baoyu sang, Jia Lian said again: "There are two copies of the ceremony, one for the ancestors and one for cousin Lin."

The fake stone walked forward quickly, first handed the dowry list and Lin Ruhai's letter to Daiyu, and said with a smile on his face, "A letter from home is worth a thousand gold! Cousin, please pay attention to my uncle's instructions. Life is alive, dress and eat, learn and manage the common affairs skillfully, and be in charge of the family for the rest of your life." Anping faces the sun!"

Daiyu pursed her lips and bowed her head, her face was so red that it was about to bleed, she didn't know whether to laugh or to be annoyed, this cousin Bao is a frivolous one, and he yelled at such a shameful thing!

But seeing Baoyu rolling into Jia Mu's arms, she pouted and said, "My grandson wants to sue. Second brother Lian is having a great trip, especially when he arrived at Guazhou, where he stopped for a whole night before going to Yangzhou. Uncle Lin picked us up after we landed. The Lin family also said that grandson didn't know how to persuade brother..."

The house was full of female relatives, and Jia's mother was shaking with anger. She thought that Jia Lian had got the money, but she was caught!You know how much real money he lost in one night's wind~!Immediately, the next voice shouted: "Master, please call him here! My old lady can't discipline this Jin grandson, and he is a five-rank general. The whole family is not only a general who can manage..."

The author has something to say: Lian Er: That's right, the master played with millions of snowflakes in one night in Guazhou, you bite me!

Some relatives said that the amount of information in these two chapters is a bit large, it should be that the cannon fodder was not written clearly, and it was placed in "You Hua"——

There are four direct reasons that lead to the collapse of the Jia family: one is the possession of the Zhen family wealth (this is temporarily unresolved), the second is the death of the mysterious Qin Keqing in Ningfu (still unresolved), the third is the swallowing of the Lin family's wealth, and the fourth is the construction of the Grand View Garden.

The construction of the Grand View Garden is directly related to the swallowing of the Lin family's wealth.

The Lin family's wealth must never be taken, but don't think that if Jia Lian and Baoyu don't take it, the matter will be over.

The Jia family has eight houses in the capital, and any male can go to Yangzhou on Daiyu's behalf under the order of Jia's mother, or Daiyu's uncle, Jia She, the head of the Rongfu family.In this way, all the locusts in Rongfu must give up their hearts. Just having a false heir is not enough. Although the capital and Yangzhou are separated by three or four thousand miles, it will be easy to send a letter of blame!

what to do?The Jia family must have no face to believe that Jia Lian, the son of successor, has a braid and pinches it in his hands, which is an embarrassment.

Baoyu exposes Jia Lian's consumption of flower wine in front of Jia's mother, and can also clear Jia Lian from the suspicion of embezzlement of Lin Ruhai's secret money.

Of course, this is not enough.In the next chapter, there will be even more important reasons to make Jia's mother dare not attack.
