Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 43: Owing to the Royal Bank: 3 Spring Moves to Baosha

Jia Lian came back proudly, and wanted to talk to Baoyu immediately, but found that Baoyu hadn't returned, so he had to put down the conversation.

Where is Baoyu?Go to the land where Lian Er just left to meet Master She!It is said that the false seriousness is serious and loyal to the emperor, but he still knew for the first time that his family owed the emperor silver, so he immediately took Baoyu to find his elder brother.

Mr. Xi despised him infinitely, and with a gun and a stick, Mr. Zheng was so angry that he vomited blood.Baoyu didn't have the guts to challenge Jia's fake uncle, who was the most innocent and had the right to beat up his fake father, and dragged the fake father away.

This trip was not all fruitless, at least I learned that the Jia family owed 32 taels of silver.

Jia Zheng had no concept of 32 taels, and how many people could survive the famine if he converted it into rice grains with fake stones.

Now that Mr. Zheng understands, in what year will there be few famines?Throughout the ages, countless officials who were greedy for money for disaster relief have been beheaded!According to him, it is almost a crime not to pay back the money owed to the court, and he was shocked, angry and anxious for a while.

Baoyu was only half-relieved with truth and falsehood: "The wife said, we will pay back year by year, and we will be able to pay it off in a few years, but the old lady and the old man agreed to use a large sum of money."

So the father and son will discuss with Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang is furious when she hears that the old man has scolded her own master!Hearing that the amount was not as much as she had feared, she hated to reveal the secret: "As long as Kaizu Kuming'er can pay it back! This debt was originally borrowed by the Duke and Earl (she guessed, Jia She) How can I have the qualifications to borrow money?), why should the old man let the old man waste his ancestral property, and in the end our second room will have to share a huge debt of one hundred thousand taels!"

When she said this, she became even angrier. What kind of second room housekeeper is just doing chores for the first room!She has been married to Jia's family for more than 20 years, and she still does not know where the ancestral library is. Only the old lady and Jia She know, and the old lady holds the key.I'm afraid it will be handed over to the eldest son only after Feng girl gives birth to a successor.Although she has made some money by taking care of the house these years, how can she compare with her ancestors' wealth?

Don't think she doesn't know. Every year, the old lady secretly gives a sum of money to the "unwelcome" old man to eat, drink and have fun. Could it be the old godmother's private house?It must be Zuku silver!The Jia family's family rules and ancestral wealth are all inherited from the heirs!

She didn't think about it anymore, and she couldn't think of it. Jia She shouted it out in his own room after he was drunk, and reported it to her privately through the eyeliner she left.This can't be said in the open, if it is pursued, the old godmother must point out that the big house in the mansion that usually receives and distributes gifts is the ancestral treasury!But it is impossible for the eldest family to occupy the ancestral treasury, but the second family is required to share the imperial debt, and the eldest family must be forced to pay it back!

Baoyu hurriedly persuaded his parents not to be too impulsive, saying that if they look for it rashly, the old lady will definitely not agree to open the ancestral treasury. After paying the imperial silver, the second master is loyal to the emperor, and he wants to deduct it from daily consumption. I can't finish it, and my son will continue to pay it back!If the old lady wants to save face, she will definitely talk to the old lady. Wouldn't it be cheaper than rushing to find the old lady?

Mr. Zheng felt that this method was feasible, so he talked about the principles of commuting and thrift in housekeeping.Baoyu secretly complained, who can say beautiful words, what the hell do you call hardworking and frugal by raising a large group of clean men?

Mrs. Wang buried her head in her thoughts, and she understood Baoyu's meaning - pretending to be poor.She will naturally know this set, the house where she usually sees guests is very simple, but no matter how simple, there are a lot of gold slaves and maidservants, who will believe it?Unless she sent some servants to pretend, but she finally got the good name of eating vegetarian food, praying to the Buddha and treating her leniently... It should be assumed that the money that the old master tossed away belongs to them, and Erfangyuan couldn't get it.Besides, it would be better for the royal family to settle the accounts earlier. After ten or eight years, the old lady went away, and the second house was separated from the house to keep you dead.

After the discussion, the dinner was passed on. This was a couple who hadn't had dinner with their legitimate son for many years. It was vaguely the time when Jia Zhu was a child and a young couple had such a time.Mrs. Wang's nose is sore, and Jia Zheng also recalled that he stayed in Mrs. Wang's room overnight.

But Baoyu said that after eating this dinner that served as a light bulb, he could go back to rest.Because Jia Zheng was by his side, Mrs. Wang did not send out maids and mothers-in-law to send them off, but the elder followed the boys all the way to Baoxia.

The lights in Baoxia are brightly lit, as soon as the tea smoke lights up the throat, the maid and the woman have not yet come out, and two buns wearing soap-soled powder boots and five crimson robes with tufted flowers roll out, and they are exactly the same!

Baoyu held one in each hand, and reprimanded with a smile: "I'm looking for a hammer! It's dark and I haven't returned..."

Before the words were finished, a silver bell-like laughter sounded: "It's time to be disciplined, Brother Lange has been waiting all day, and he didn't go to school!"

Baoyu stared dumbly at the maid who was speaking, but it was Jin Chuan'er!Could it be that Mrs. Wang rewarded her?Didn't say a word.

The two little ones felt his displeasure, and Jia Zhu whispered in his ear: "Sister Jin Chuan has been busy cleaning the house all day." Jia Lan also gently pulled his sleeves, motioning him not to show his face.

Baoyu naturally understood, he put on an extraordinarily enthusiastic smile and said hard work, and felt so useless that he wanted to cry: there is no human rights!The dear elders who love you can stuff whoever they want.Now that I am still young, in a few years, I have to sleep with whoever~ I want you to sleep with. MD Night~ Shop Cow~ Lang can still pick his own customers!

Jin Chuan'er is so clever, her heart is blocked like she can't breathe, but she has a very sweet smile on her face, she scolds Qingwen like a wooden idiot with a lot of laughter, and quickly rewards the young servant with a copper coin.

Qingwen was furious, and thought to herself that I was rewarded by the old lady, when will it be your turn to dictate here? !After all, Gu Baoyu was most annoyed by the noise of the girls, so he went to the gate of the courtyard with his head sullen.

Baoyu wanted out of sight and out of mind, so he led Jialan Jiazhu to the east room where he lived.

When I entered the house, I saw a big change!It is red and golden, like a new house!

Fortunately, there were not many people, only Nanny Song and Xi Ren who were on duty at night, and Caixia, the second-class girl beside Mrs. Wang.

Caixia didn't care about fake stones, and one of them didn't bother to pretend, so she charged at the human with a sullen face: "Tell me, who are more people in the room, and who are missing?"

Twelve hundred of Caixia didn't want to come to Baoyu's house, wishing to be dismissed immediately, and said: "There are only more slaves. It turned out that the wife saw that the second master had gone to the south, and the girls in the room were idle, so they just Leaving Nanny Song and Mama He Xiren Qingwen to look after the house, and Yu scattered to work elsewhere. Yesterday, my wife found out that the second master had returned to the mansion, so she sent the maidservant and Jin Chuaner to help, and ordered the maidservant to stay."

Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt that a large part of her manpower had been poached. Although she had set up an embroidery workshop outside, the maids in the house were all trained by her for more than two years!

The attacker looked at him coldly, then smiled and said, "It's only my fault that the second master is good at managing people, and he is busy begging everywhere. Yesterday, Jin Chuan'er took his wife's order, and went around and gathered everything he could get back. The girl refused to let Qiuwen go, saying that she would ask you to ask for it some other day. Then Chunyan was rewarded to the third master. If the master sent it, the wife raised Chunyan as a second-class girl to reward him, saying that Qiaoer Zhuier and the others could do it. The third class is for use. If the second master thinks it’s not enough, he can pick a few better ones. Another Lian’s second grandmother asked the old lady for Cuihua, saying that Cuihua could help her read the account book. Huati became a big girl and changed her name to Caiming."

Baoyu's mouth is wide open, "Caiming" doesn't have much ink in the original book, she is the maid who keeps the books for Sister Feng, and it turns out to be Cuihua, which has never been mentioned in the book!It seems that the plot is strong, if Xiaohong doesn't go to Sister Feng's side, there will eventually be a girl in her house rushing to Gaozhi.Having said that, if Sister Feng wanted to beg someone, she could have begged for it long ago. In the original book, when begging for Xiaohong, she also asked Baoyu. Let yourself know that Jia Rui's incident offended her, anyway, she's only a third-class girl, and she's being used to lift her up, so it's impossible for her to turn her face over it.

In any case, the loss is not too serious, so what if it is serious?It's just that Caixia, like Caiyun, originally wanted to climb Jiahuan, but unexpectedly the third-class maid in her room took their place.But they couldn't climb up, Jia Huan only took advantage of them and didn't take them seriously. Finally, Caiyun died of illness, and Caixia was begged by Laiwang and his wife from Sister Feng to be their scumbag son's wife.

Thinking of this, he put the matter aside, and said with a smile: "If you haven't poured tea for Lang Ge'er, Jun Ge'er, send someone to say that I have left them for the night, and I will go to the two elder sisters-in-law tomorrow to get annoyed." fine."

The two buns screamed happily, and Jia Lan still reminded him in a low voice, "Second Uncle has a bounty for Sister Chuan'er."

Baoyu laughed and said, "They all have to be rewarded. I've worked hard all day. But sister Xiren will be punished. If others don't know you, you don't know. How can we three men make a good house like this? Let's first write down to settle accounts in another day and take the money." Sister Chuan'er was rewarded with a lottery, saying that I was too shocked at the time, so I didn't forgive her everywhere."

It was the night when the three young masters stayed together for a night talk, and Baoyu learned that the prediction of the five-colored stone had come true: Qin Zhong really "befriended his sister and brother-in-law", but he did not live in Ningfu, but lived with Jia Qiang, "accompanying each other to study for benefits" .Qin Zhong hadn't entered Jia's private school yet, and Jia Lan and Jia Jun didn't want to go there because of the rift between him and Jia Qiang, and they still passed on letters to each other.

The two buns hope that Uncle Xiao Bao will bring Qin Zhong to Baoxia. Bao Yu feels a little guilty about Qin Ye, and intends to follow the path of the original book, but is afraid of trouble, so he jokes that he will act according to the camera.

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

One day later, before Mrs. Wang had time to do anything, Mother Jia moved first: when everyone greeted her in the morning, she said that the granddaughters had grown up and it was inconvenient to be crowded together, so she asked Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng to move Sanchun to Rongxi. The hall embraces the building, and the three inverted halls (that is, the door faces Rongxi hall) happen to be one building for each person. Li Wan was ordered to take care of it, and Sister Feng was ordered to pick up Xiangyun in person to relieve her old man's boredom.

Everyone understands that Jiamu is angry because of Daiyu's dowry, and is annoyed that one or two of them are not taking it seriously.

No one was worried about it, Xichun was originally a girl from Ningfu, and it didn't matter if Yingchun Tanchun fell out of favor with Jia Mu, they were just two concubine daughters.Mrs. Wang still doesn't want Mother Jia to add a lot of make-up to Tanchun, it's the old lady's private house, and Bo Baoyu will share it.As for Yingchun, Mrs. Xing is lazy, and Sister Feng secretly rejoices that it will be more convenient to win over my sister-in-law from now on.

So and so, but in a few days and three springs, the building of Rongxi Hall was moved. As a brother, a certain one would naturally come to congratulate him, so he had to tie Jialan Jiazhu to enjoy it together.

On the ground, I found that Daiyu Xiangyun had also come to join in the fun, and all the girls gathered in the house of Xichun, the daughter of the Ningfu.She is the concubine's daughter, so she is the inverted hall in the residence; Yingchun is the concubine's daughter of the big house and is older, and lives in the east room; Tanchun lives in the west room.

Xichun was young and didn't know that she had fallen out of favor, so she excitedly clamored for Baoyu to inscribe her new house.

Fake stones have a bad taste, the big book "Ouxiangxie", and the inscription "Autumn Shuangzhai" for Tanchun's new residence, and the inscription "Zilingzhou" for the Spring Festival, and now a corner of the Grand View Garden pops out of thin air.

It's just that the names of Xichun and Tanchun's new residences don't make sense, but the name of Yingchun doesn't match at all.

The fake stone said forcefully: "There is a continent in my heart, come Ziling!"

The girls quarreled again that the Baosha he lived in was still unknown, so a certain thought: what else is there to say, "Yihong Courtyard", there is only one listed young lady, Mr. Yihong!

Daiyu didn't have a new house, but the place where she lived was so nice that all the girls gave her "Bisha Residence" respectfully.A certain one thought compassionately: I hope this name can make you get rid of the cheesy tone of "□□ Pavilion".

A trace of sadness flashed in Xiangyun's eyes, who was talking and laughing, Baoyu's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "I heard Xiren said that your family's needlework is done by your own female family members. Don't do it at night, it will hurt your eyes."

Xiangyun's eyes turned red, and he forced a smile and said, "It turned out that my aunt said that I am dry-tempered, and I need to use female reds to grind me down."

It is inappropriate for a noble lady to know how to be a female celebrity, but if she does it all day long, she will become a needlework woman again. The girls and the two buns can't help but look at Xiangyun sympathetically.

Baoyu immediately gave each of the two little buns a chestnut: "What eyes! The most important thing in life is to dress and eat. Your cousin Xiangyun is as good as she is, why don't you hurry up and congratulate? To be honest, I think Shi Hou's family is like living. Do it yourself, you know it takes a lot of effort, and you will save it. Our family, just say me, it’s a pity that I’m old with so many clothes, and I’m small if I don’t have an upper body. Son, that's called picking up my leftovers, and the two sisters-in-law slapped me hard."

Everyone in the house laughed, and at this moment Zhou Rui's family came.Xichun heard the autumn pattern newspaper, please come in as soon as possible.

Zhou Rui's house was led by his wives to present the tea fruit to Mrs. Wang. He was holding a big box in his hand, but when he saw her open the big box, he said with a smile: "It's a gadget in the shop of slaves and sons-in-law, filial girls and brothers. Rude."

Xiangyun caught the strange monkey first, and Xichun picked the crooked neck inkstone.All the young people rushed to pick and choose, laughing and talking.

Baoyu also picked something up, but said nothing with a smile—it's so embarrassing!The son-in-law of Zhou Rui’s family is Leng Zixing, a good friend of Jia Yucun’s. He is engaged in the antique business, and he must engage in some fake antiques. It is mentioned in the original book that he “taught women to beg for love because of selling antiques and going to court. Zhou Rui’s family relies on the master He is so snobbish that he doesn't take these things to heart, and just begs for Sister Feng at night and it's over."He thought that he might be cheating and abducting with fake antiques to cause a lawsuit, and the time should be in the next year or two.

In the original book, it is not mentioned that Mrs. Wang took the lawsuit, but Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's companion. If she hadn't used the snobbishness of her master in the past few decades, how could she "not take these things to heart"?Furthermore, based on his experience of going through the two times, he knows Mrs. Wang's character very well, and one day he will settle the total account, and God knows how many old sins will be unearthed.

He couldn't help but secretly sighed, thinking that the old crimes would not be wiped out, Zhou Rui's family... he couldn't stand it now, besides, what's the use of just getting rid of this champerty lawsuit?How tiring!

The author has something to say: Sanchun is in place, and they lived in this location before the Grand View Garden was built in the original book.
