Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

What makes Baoyu anxious like a monkey PP being burned?The coffin case, of course!

In the original book, after Qin Keqing's death, Jia Zhen suffered a hundred times more than her dead mother, so she insisted on a better coffin board.As Qin Keqing, he could only use cedar planks, and he didn't like it anyway. Finally, Xue Pan offered the coffin: "It was originally asked for by Prince Yizhong, Lao Qiansui, but he never took it because he broke something. Now it is still sealed in the shop." , and no one dares to bid for it, so if you want it, you can bring it here." For such a terrible matter, Jia Zheng had no choice but to persuade him, but Jia Zhen didn't listen, so he didn't care.

In broad daylight, it is impossible for Lian Er to be at home.Baoyu went to Jia Qiang's place, but Brother Qiang was not there, so his servant told him to go to a certain restaurant.

Baoyu immediately asked Jia Qiang's servant to lead the way, but Li Gui said awkwardly, "That piece is... an opera troupe. If you can't wait, the servant will go find it?"

The word "opera troupe" is very vague, and the servants of the Qiang Mansion said it was a "restaurant", most likely it was a different kind of brothel or a small brothel.Baoyu breathed out, and found that he was in a hurry, so he could have Jia Lian brought here, so he nodded heavily: "Go with Qian Qi, and tell Zhilian's second master that he is in a hurry. He is going to be drunk, so bring him back!"

The two chiefs left in response, and Zhang Ruojin said again: "Let Mingyan wait here, sir, go back home first?"

Baoyu shook his head, he hadn't greeted the bosses yet, when he was changing his clothes, he heard the attacker say that Qin's illness was serious, so he rushed out.I'm going back to the mansion now, please let me know, what if Qin Keqing is in a hurry to die?Our Xue Dadai has passed the Ming road because he was invited by Master She, so he doesn't dare to come to Rongfu to hang around, but in Ningfu, it is doing well. It is said that the business head is good, and it is not sold well. The little inexplicable play was given to the dudes of Ningfu.

The waiting time was extremely difficult, and a certain building was not too close. After more than an hour, Jia Lianfang, who had a slightly slanted crown, smelled of alcohol, and an ambiguous fragrance on his body, was invited back.

The second master Lian knew that Brother Bao would not force him to invite him if there was nothing wrong, so he said haha: "Brother Babaili hastened to come, go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, just send a word!"

Baoyu was waiting in the living room of the side room, and all the servants went down with a wink, and the tea maid was also dragged away by the tea smokers.

Jia Lian's expression became serious: "Clothed?" - what he was most worried about was that the money he earned would be taken away by Jia Amnesty.

Baoyu sneered: "It's more serious than this! Xue's family is an imperial merchant, and I'm worried that his family has longevity materials that ordinary people can't use..."

Lian Er's eyes widened: "I'm telling you! There is a pair of mahogany longevity wood, which was found on the Iron Net Mountain in Huanghai, and it is said that it has been made into a coffin for thousands of years. It's not that Grandma Xiao Rong is seriously ill. She said it was true. As soon as I rushed, Brother Zhen looked at several pairs of cedar wood boards and didn’t like them. Cousin Pan said that there was a birthday board in their wood shop that Uncle Xue brought to Kyoto back then, and it was loyal..."

At this point, he stopped talking abruptly, his face turned pale. At that time, he was only concerned about selling the unsalable goods at a high price, but he didn't think much about it!It's really terrible, some things don't feel when you don't think of them, and you are shocked when you think of them: once the whole family and family are prosecuted and punished for exceeding the system, they can even be involved in treason, that is to punish the nine clans!But it was the birthday material that Prince Yin, who was in trouble, wanted.

Baoyu also turned pale, he didn't expect the life-threatening longevity material to appear while Qin Keqing was still alive!He didn't let go of Jia Lian's words early, because he was afraid that speaking too early would be bad for him, and many prophets would end badly. They would either become monsters in the eyes of others, or others would think you were an alarmist, and would not take your words seriously.

After a while, Jia Lian said, "How can you persuade brother Zhen? He must not take it seriously."

Baoyu blew his face: "There are many places in the Ningrong and Rongfu's private overreaches, and they don't take it seriously. Even the stone lions at the gate that can't be opened have to send a few healthy servants to show their 'face' That's all, it can be said that it is pointing people who don't understand to go to the corner gate. But the coffin that the prince can use is placed in the house, to celebrate the wife of the district supervisor, lest he die unhappy!"

Jia Lian's eyes lit up: "That's not right! Fu is overwhelmed, I don't have to bring trouble to Grandma Xiaorong, I'll tell you!"

Baoyu raised his hand and said, "What's the difference between going now and going in the past? The Qin family is a woman from the grave. If we really go, even though we are elders, we still need to do a little work. Take it easy and don't show the truth to others." ——In the original book, Lian's two idiots stole Nayou's second sister during the period of family filial piety and national filial piety.Although that is in the future, who knows if it will happen in Qin Keqing's filial piety?

Lian Er responded with a little embarrassment, feeling quite depressed, and unexpectedly remembered the experience of going south on the boat: Xiao Wangba's four monkey-looking boys and serious girls, I'm afraid no one except himself would have expected the private Under the wind ~ all kinds of love!Xiao Wangba is known to be able to play, but he doesn't look like himself, the only roommate is acting like that, this head's reputation is so bad!

It was dusk when Baoyu returned to Rongfu, and he dragged his weary pace to greet Jia Mu, who asked him why he ran out in a hurry.He didn't hide it, and privately hoped that Jia's mother would stop it.

Jia's mother scolded Jia Zhen for absurd words, then repeated the same old tune, told him not to worry about such trivial matters, and then talked about Jia Lan's life-threatening illness, and advised him not to take this year's hospital examination, no matter what. After two or three years and so on.

Baoyu obediently agreed, and his stomach was full of words: What's the use of being a scholar?In the same way, "little people have less troublesome things".

One day later, Lian Er came to tell Jia Zhen that after listening to his persuasion, she moved the longevity tree to another courtyard, and replaced it with an ordinary fir coffin for Qin Keqing to fight against the disaster.

Baoyu knew that it was impossible for Jia Zhen to throw away the good life coffin, so he turned to other things and showed Jia Lian a red brick.

After much deliberation, he did not hand over the matter of burning red bricks to the unreliable Lian Er, nor to his charming husband He Fuquan. Jia Zhu's widowed mother, Grandmother Qi Lou Shi: Jia Zhu's grandmother suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and his grandfather Jia Dun is useless, and the family affairs are in the hands of Grandma Qi.And Lou's willingness to agree to him is that Jia Zhu's great-grandfather is Jia Daishan's direct younger brother. The two brothers had a good relationship back then, and she failed to climb up to Jiamu Wang's wife, Fengjie, but Baoyu supported her orphan all the way.The red bricks were arranged in a Zhuangzi of Jia Jun's family, and following the advice of the fake stone, they were hung under the name of Fang Liang's servant. The servant, like the Lai family in Rongfu, was a third-generation deed of release, the mother of his grandparents. Lao Tzu is still a slave and cannot rebel.

Jia Lian looked at red bricks as a rarity, but wondered whether the color of the house would look good.

This is exactly why Baoyu came to him. At first, he only thought that red symbolizes celebration in the East, and he didn't take into account people's usage habits. Now that the bricks have been fired, he can only ask Jia Lian to recommend him when he takes care of the general affairs: if you can't sell it to someone else's house, you will be honored. There are a lot of Zhuangzi in the government, and they are forced to use them, but they are really unwilling to build a pigsty!

Hearing Baoyu's words, Jia Lian laughed and bargained for a price, agreeing that even the Zhuangzi of the Ning Mansion would be forced to mortgage, saying that as long as the benefits were paid in place, Patriarch Zhen would help to harden the Zhuangzi of the He clan.

Everything is straightened out, and a certain life returns to normal.Now he has more than 2 taels of silver in his hand, and he has not used it for investment. He is hesitant to pay off some debts first, but the [-] taels are only a fraction of the silver he owes. How can he explain the origin of the silver to Jia Zheng?

He once wanted Jia Lian to take tens of thousands of taels of silver to the household department to make a fuss out of it, so maybe the Rong family had to open the ancestral treasury to pay back the money.Lian Er grumbled bitterly and said that he had thought about this method a long time ago, but his title of half a rank higher than Mr. Zheng was false, and the door of the household department could not be reached. If he wanted to pay back the money, he had to ask Mr. Zheng to help.

Fake stones dare not take risks, silver is not silver, maybe he will kneel in the ancestral hall before the Rongfu collapses, don't even think about tossing about anything, just close his eyes and wait for the Rongfu to be destroyed together!

After more than half a month, the days of peace on the surface and melancholy in the heart, on the second day of June and the beginning of the fifth shift, the two gates of Rongfu's courtyards knocked four times on the cloud board, announcing that the Qin family would return to the west with a crane.

For a while, the two houses and the whole clan cried and howled to the sky—they howled whether they were mourning or not, and the elders also had to howl. This is the clan wife.

Don't mention Baoyu's suspicion on the bed~ She is stupid on the bed, Qin's usual way of dealing with people is not stupid, she smiles when she sees no words, is filial to her elders, friendly with her peers, and friendly to her juniors, as a clan wife, she often helps the poor and the weak, and handles things "nothing" Not everywhere", so there are quite a few people who cry because of their sincerity.

The whole family wore sackcloth and filial piety and wept towards the Ning Mansion, and the door of the Ning Mansion was opened—the main gate that could only be opened in the era of Duke Ning!

Baoyu's eyes were straightened, but he saw tall lanterns all around, people coming and going, and the cries shaking the mountains and mountains.

He was looking for Jia Mu urgently, and only the highest-ranked Jia Mu could stop him at this time, but the crowd couldn't find him!

It is said that he is a junior in the Rong Mansion and lives alone. No one specifically reported to him. It was Jia Zheng who sent someone to wake him up. When he dressed and went out, the car was waiting at the door. It is estimated that Jia's mother arrived first.

Before he could think too much, Mr. Zheng had already entered the door with his three steamed stuffed buns, followed by the guide and descended to the coffin.

The land of Lingling is wonderful. It is the Dengxian Pavilion in Huifang Garden, where Jia Zhen enjoys her daily prostitution.

The fake stone was so painful in front of the coffin: what the hell is the coffin placed next to the body not a fir coffin, the color, texture and musk smell of sandalwood are ten to ten the coffin of the deadly prince!

Things have come to this, Baoyu forced himself to calm down.It was his first time to experience a great funeral in ancient times. When he calmed down, he realized that there was order in the chaos.But when I looked around, not to mention Jia Mu, the female family members of the Rong Mansion were nowhere to be seen. They had either cried or hadn't arrived yet. The women's clothes were complicated and tight.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Tanchun and Daiyu who were all in white. They didn't cry before the coffin, but said something to the servant anxiously.The cries in the mourning hall were too loud and could not be heard clearly from a distance. It was inconvenient to go to the right to ask, so he had to keep his eyes down.

All of a sudden there was chaos in the back hall, women and girls were yelling that Youshi had a stomachache and collapsed, and Xifu Lian's second grandmother also fainted.Bao Yuxin said that Sister Feng was so strong that she fell down, she must have been rushed by the death coffin!

The female relatives fainted and the female relatives took care of them, even if they wanted the men to take care of them, it didn't matter to the buns.

The rule of the crying spirit is to give up the seat to others after crying a few times. When Baoyu saw the fake father get up, he also got up quickly, took Jialan's hand and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan also tugged at the hem of his clothes, and the fake stone sighed secretly, saying that the little white-eyed wolf is not yet ten years old, that's all, let's hold it together.

When the father and son went outside, they saw the clan elders of the Daizi generation, as well as the Literary generation, the Jade-character generation, and the Grass-character generation gathered around the patriarch Jia Zhen.

But seeing the patriarch crying like a tearful person, he said, "the long house is extinct and there is no one left."Everyone was busy persuading them, but Jia Zheng put on a stern face and put on the genealogy of the elders: "It's important to discuss how to deal with the funeral. I don't think the coffin is suitable. It's more than a fir tree..."

The conversation was interrupted by Jia Zhen stomping her foot: "Who doesn't know that my daughter-in-law is ten times stronger than my son! Now that I have stretched my legs, what else can I do, but I will do my best..."

Baoyu saw that this guy was unreasonable, so he pulled the sleeve of Master Zheng: "Let's talk about Uncle Jing."

Jia Zhen's ears were sharp, and she miraculously heard a whisper in the noise, crying at the top of her voice: "He is already a monk. I looked for him a few times before, and he said that family affairs have nothing to do with him. Feisheng, absolutely don't get caught in the world of mortals..."

Baoyu almost laughed angrily, regardless of the original work or his personal experience, this is exactly the tone of this wonderful piece of respect for the master.What he said at the beginning was just to step down the steps of Jia Zheng. When he saw the coffin, he knew he couldn't persuade him. Qin Keqing was already dead. The whole family cannot be buried for the Qin family.

I can't manage the affairs of Ningfu, so I have to find another way.Mrs. Wang is Qin Keqing's great-grandmother and aunt. No matter how old she is, Mrs. Wang never said that she would keep vigil all night.That night, Baoyu slipped home and blocked Mrs. Wang's conversation, and learned that Sister Feng had just found out that she was more than two months pregnant. She was also Qin Keqing's elder, and she had already returned home to rest.

Baoyu was overjoyed, and sent Qin Keqing's spirit to a life lawsuit involving Sister Feng. She would not have sent the spirit even if she was pregnant, and the case would not be resolved.After a little concentration, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhen said that he would invite one hundred and eight Zen monks to worship the Great Compassion Repentance in the hall for 49 days as the Qin family's salvation; set up an altar on the Tianxiang Building, and invite 99 Quanzhen Taoist priests to pray On the 49th, the karma will be resolved and the karma will be cleared. Before the funeral, another fifty eminent monks and fifty eminent Taoists will be invited to follow the seven practices on the altar..."

Mrs. Wang didn't even lift her eyelids: "Ning's house will not be less in debt than us, and he owes a big funeral for the national debt. He is afraid that he won't pay attention! Now I just ask the old ancestor to speak, and when the funeral is held in three days, the front door will be closed and it will be bright. Overstepping the rules and dragging the family into the water!"

Baoyu smiled bitterly: "Will the old lady say something out loud? We have to think about retreating. Today, I ask my wife to cover up something. It is really that Cousin Feng is too strong. If she is half as virtuous as his wife, Brother Lian will not be like this." Ask your wife to answer Xu'er, otherwise I'm really sorry for Brother Lian."

Mrs. Wang chuckled: "Lian'er has private money, right? How much, what do you want to do?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "It's not impossible. Lian's second brother doesn't have much money, only [-] yuan. He really can't touch the household department..."

"No!" Mrs. Wang gave Baoyu a sideways look, and sighed again: "You are too young to understand, he has a broken heart! His idea is that he pay [-] taels of silver, saying that we paid it, and let the master hand it over." Department of household, put on the posture that the Rongfu is willing to pay back the money. He is stable. If the master does this, where will the old lady and the elder be placed? At the censor meeting, the emperor will think that the master will overstep and disobey. Not filial or fraternal."

Baoyu's eyes turned black, as if it was the case, that overstepping the patriarch Jia's amnesty to pay debts is called "overstepping", doing what Jia's mother forbids is called "disobedience", and reducing a first-class crime is also called "disrespect and disrespect".Next door to Ma Li, it seems that the only thing he can do is to cultivate loyal loyalties and form more good karma, and point to them to redeem himself in the future.

At this moment, he thought again of a certain fairy betting on whether he could live past the age of 20. If it was easy, how could he bet?
