Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 49: Owing to the Emperor's Silver: Water Soluble Shuiyue Temple

Jia Zhen overstepped the rules too much, and Jia's mother finally spoke out, and both generations of characters and characters exerted pressure. Ning's mansion finally closed the gate of the Duke's era before the funeral on the third day, and opened the street gate of Huifang Garden.He would not change the coffin, and he shouted in public, "She should use this coffin in terms of status", which scared everyone into silence.

On the day of the funeral, two coffins were placed in the Pavilion of Immortals. It is said that Ruizhu, a maid of the Qin family, touched the pillar and died for her mistress.There is also a little girl, Baozhu, who is willing to be a righteous daughter because her mistress has nothing to do, and she becomes a monk to pray for her mistress.Uncle Zhen was very happy, and ordered the family to call Baozhu "Miss Bao", mourn before the spirit, and take on the responsibility of mourning and driving the spirit.

Maybe the Ningfu drama was too melodious, the emperor sent Dai Quan, the head of the inner palace, to watch the drama, er, to offer sacrifices to Ning Guogong's great-great-great-grandson daughter-in-law.

Jia Zhen couldn't help being overjoyed, so she gave money to Dai Neixiang and donated an official position for her son, in order to make the funeral more beautiful.Dai Neixiang was very talkative, so he was rewarded on the spot with "Five-Rank Dragon Forbidden Captain" - the title set by the emperor for the Fengying treasury, designated to be sold to the sons of the aristocratic family, and he did not need to take up posts. The emperor was worried about entrusting his dragon life to them to guard.

Since then, more and more people have come to offer sacrifices. Except for the four kings and eight princes who are sure to come, a group of Hou Bozi, men, military, generals, and civil officials have all arrived.

Baoyu went along with them, and was busy with his private affairs except when it was necessary to click the clock.Jia Rui was used by him, anyway, his wife died, and the younger generation had to make great contributions, so boy Rui couldn't take the exam this year.He wondered why boy Rui had accumulated some contacts when he was learning bow and horse, so he should be able to recruit some soldiers and bandits who have no work after retirement.

In the end, Jia Rui said that he didn't know any soldiers and bandits, but he knew Ni Er, a drunkard who lives next door to Jia Yun's nephew, "Ni Er Ye is a good man who donates money with righteousness." return.

Baoyu can't laugh or cry, Ni Er, like Jiao Da, is the soy sauce king in the original work of the Red Chamber.This gentleman lends usury debts in the casino. He is a rascal and loves to drink and fight. The so-called "spending money with righteousness" only happens when he is drunk.Having said that, this kind of person is also available, and has a wide network of contacts. You should know a lot of "horse dealer kings with short legs".

It's a pity that a certain dog has never been in contact with black clubs, so he has no choice but to learn to play, and he may be the boss!So helpless and wrong, you can slip away when you are ready.As long as he is free, Tanchun and the others will always find a way to redeem him in circles, and maybe they can help Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang on their exile. Anyway, the fake parents and mothers are good to themselves.

After making up his mind, Fake Stone took advantage of the chaotic funeral to get acquainted with Jia Yun, Ni Er, etc., and quickly reached the top seven.

Suddenly, a huge thunder fell from the sky: because You's "old illness is getting worse and worse" and can't take care of the affairs, Jia Zhen fears that the orders will be out of courtesy, so she asks Mrs. Xing to help him take care of all the affairs!

"Associate with the Ningguo Mansion" is an important feature of Sister Feng in the original book. Now that Sister Feng is raising a baby, Mrs. Wang will never take care of the affairs of Dongfu.

Mrs. Xing's cooking is too lazy to inquire about it. If Mrs. Jia doesn't let Mrs. Xing be the housekeeper, she can't control Mr. She, and she will waste all her family's wealth.Mrs. Xing is not without any calculations. Her parents died early, her eldest sister was in charge of the family, and finally brought almost all of the family wealth to marry into the Rong Mansion. Is there any way to do it?

Flickering and swaying, the 49-day ceremony will be over.Baoyu failed to get someone from Ni Erchu who could be trained as a confidant, and those masters were so dark inside and out that he couldn't handle them.But Jiao Da has something to gain: he found a few suitable children from the Ningfu family, all of them are good at skills and there is no trouble in the future.Because his parents died when he was young, he was always looked down upon by his relatives, so he could only practice boxing and kicking as a thug.

So he asked Lian Er to ask Jia Zhen to buy it, and set up a yard outside.The small courtyard used the name of an orphaned grandson of a good woman in his house, whose surname happened to be "Pu", so the courtyard was called "Pu's family", which sounded like "servant's family".The grandparents of the Pu family depend on his embroidery workshop for their lives. The little guy is only six years old, so it's too early to rebel.

Gossip aside.Seeing that the soul is about to be sent to Tikan Temple, the two elders of the Qin family, Yingchun and Xichun, are unfortunately "seriously ill". Tanchun has to take care of the sisters. So don't go at all.

At that time, Jia's mother asked Baoyu with concern if it was wrong, but Baoyu ignored Tan Chundi's small eyes and told her that she was double and strong.Jia's mother was a little unhappy, but Baoyuquan didn't understand that he had something important to do, so how dare he get sick?

Sister Feng also didn't wink, and firmly stated that she would send Grandma Xiaorong for the last time: After 49 days of rituals, she is almost four months old, and her pulse is very good.False Stone doesn't think that Sister Feng's unpredictability saw that Shuiyuean had money to choose, and suspected that she would have a lily with Qin Keqing, so she would faint in front of Qin Keqing's spirit, which is much more than the original book, okay?

Lian Er was sent by Jia Zhen to ask Baoyu to take care of Sister Feng.Baoyu didn't dare to take it seriously. Sister Feng's belly should be the one that was aborted a few years later in the original book. Eighty-nine out of ten it was a male fetus, the heir of the Rong family.So he asked Li Wan to take the same car with Sister Feng, and sit on the shaft by himself.Immediately behind was Jia Lan, Jia Zhu, Qin Zhong, and Jia Huan, who shared the carriage with four, because Jia Zheng was depressed and ignored Jia Huan, Huan's children's shoes followed behind, and the fake stone was embarrassed and ignored.

The spirit-raising procession came out from the cave gate of Huifang Garden. Hundreds of monks and deacons held the Dharma drums, golden cymbals, and banners and treasure covers to clear the way, followed by the hundred-playing team, followed by the coffin, and more than a hundred large and small sedan chairs to send the spirits. There are more than a hundred horse-drawn carriages of various colors, which can be called "Ten Li Baizhuang".

After a short walk, I met the road sacrificial sheds of the four kings and eight princes, Hou Bozinan and other lords, and stopped after a few steps.

This was the reason why Baoyu didn't let Sister Feng take a sedan chair. If it was a sedan chair, it would be too painful for a pregnant woman to go up and down from time to time, so taking a carriage would give her a chance to rest.

When the procession stopped again amidst the sound of gongs, Baoyu saw Mr. Zheng running towards him at a pace unbelievable for his age, and ordered him to take off his filial piety as soon as possible, and the king of Beijing County summoned him in front of him.

Baoyu was waiting for this moment. According to the original book, he could go to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing County after this.Speaking of it, there will be no benefit in associating with Wang with a different surname, but it should be able to touch the threshold of the Minister of the Household.He didn't care about what Jia Zheng didn't dare to do, he could present a bank note to the Minister of the Household Department, and if he was expelled from the family because of this, luckily!He has even thought about the source of the money, this is not like the drunk King Ni Er, who will pawn a piece of jewelry at that time, I am afraid that the silver will not be able to stop it, and the less will return the less, it is the determination to betray the family and be loyal to the emperor!

The king of Beijing County is extremely stylish, with a gorgeous big sedan chair and yellow umbrellas stretched high, and people in various official uniforms are crowded on both sides.

When the fake stone came up close and took a look, it turned out that the king of Shuijun "looked like a star". No, the whole person looked like a star dressed up to meet the audience. beard, which means he has no son yet.According to the customs of this dynasty, a man without a son can only grow a beard after the age of 30.

Baoyu went up to pay respects, but Shui Rong held him back and refused to let him pay respects. He looked up and down with a smile, saying that he was as precious as a jade, and asked for a "psychic treasure".

From the corner of his eye, the fake stone caught sight of Jia Zheng and others bowing their heads respectfully, boldly presenting the fake, and pursed their lips bitterly.

Shui Rong took it, took it out of the net, looked at it, Xingxing blinked twice, gave him a knowing smile, quickly put it back into the colorful ribbon, and helped him hang it around his neck while talking nonsense, He took his hand again and asked what book he was reading.

After picking up a certain belly, Shui Rong said to Jia Zheng: "Fei Xiaowang is abrupt in front of the old man. With the qualifications of your son, the old lady should love him, but it is not appropriate to pamper him. Shiling has passed the county examination and the government examination. The founding of the country is still rare, so next year's college examination will not let him go?" ——The college examination is held twice every three years, and once in June of next year, when Baoyu has already made great achievements.

Old Jia Zheng blushed: "How dare a dog mistakenly accept the gold award, the younger generations should have more experience, definitely go! definitely go!"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Just now I saw the son sitting on the shaft of the chariot, and the man should bend his bow and ride the horse. The son is strong and healthy, so the old lady should not worry too much."

The political lord who hated the horse the most kept saying yes.Shui Rong took off a string of rosary beads and gave it to Baoyu as a watch gift. He said with a smile, "If your son can't study hard at home, you might as well come to the cold house often. There are literati in the cold house, and they often come to talk and learn. You can make progress every day."

When Jia Zheng heard this, his face was full of joy. The literati in the Prince's Mansion of Beijing County are extraordinary. Although the four kings have no real power for a long time, and their contacts will not help Baoyu's official career, but they are expected to win the reputation of "celebrity". I am grateful at the moment surging.

Shui Rong smiled, said a few more polite words, then said goodbye and went back home.

The escorting team continued on, and finally got out of the city.

Baoyu had all the preparations, two spacious carriages equipped with chamber pots, and a woman followed the carriage on foot, so she didn't go to a certain Zhuangzi mentioned in the original book to have a pee. Shun Shun Dang arrived at Tieshan Temple.

The monks in Tiekan Temple brought the coffin into the temple, set up an incense altar, and performed Buddhist rituals.Jia Zhen led the men of the family to entertain relatives and friends. The vegetarian restaurant was set up. Some people ate and some refused to leave. The chaos did not go away until the end of the day ([-] o'clock in the afternoon). Only the Jia family and Qin Zhong and others were left. close relatives.

Jia's family will perform three-day euthanasia at Tiekan Temple, which is close to the family temple of the Ningrong Second Mansion, so they have already arranged accommodation for all members of the family.But Sister Feng thought it was inconvenient, and said that she had already talked with Master Jingxu of Shuiyue Temple and went there to rest.

At this point, Baoyu felt that his reaction was too slow: in the original book Shuiyuean took power, it was the first time Sister Feng colluded with Jingxu to commit a crime.But here I'm afraid that Sister Feng and Master Jingxu hooked up too early, now that Sister Feng has settled down, she comes to continue the transaction!Pulling a stick, two lives are involved, it's fine if you don't know, don't care if you know...don't care!Maybe take this opportunity to force Jia Lian into a manliness!

So he quickly pulled Lian Er, who was busy, aside, and whispered: "Your one is going to Shuiyue Temple. What Shuiyue Temple often does is to let some yamen peep when girls from good families come to offer incense. , so he helped the yamen to get the daughter of a good family, and I don’t know how many people died because of it..."

Jia Lian knew what Shuiyue Temple was up to, and said in surprise, "How dare they play against Sister Feng?!"

Baoyu sneered: "Don't dare now, but it's hard to say later."

Jia Lian's complexion changed terribly, now without Baoyu threatening him, he could foresee that the bright days of the Ningrong Second Mansion would not be long.

Baoyu continued: "Don't be scared to death, I suspect that your daughter-in-law was involved in Shuiyue Temple, otherwise why did she insist on sending the spirit? She has a child in her belly! Let's not talk about accumulating evil for the child and being killed Can the family not be obsessed with revenge? Now we are helpless, once the power is weak, you still have a daughter-in-law Qiao!"

Jia Lian walked away, but Baoyu grabbed him: "You have no proof of the attack now, so why don't you let her go to Shuiyue Temple? Listen to me and start with Chao Laiwang. Although Shuiyue Temple is also engaged in making yamen ~ rape ~ violent girls on the spot The thing about it is that girls from good families are poor girls without roots. They only know Shuiyue Temple, and they don’t know the people behind them. I’m afraid of people with some roots, so I have to take your name card , Occupy the Rong Mansion. Your daughter-in-law will only call Lai Wang to run errands, just keep an eye on Lai Wang."

Jia Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Did you bring the servants you bought?"

Baoyu shook his head: "It's not suitable to use them. After all, they belong to the Ning Mansion. It hasn't been long since we got them, and we haven't given up on us yet. I have someone else, my second brother, my brother who will spare no effort to help you. All you have to do is to personally interrogate Laiwang. You don't Wouldn’t you even dare to do this? Then let’s wash our necks and wait for the beheading.”

There is actually "someone else" in the hands of the fake stone. Who is it?Of course it is Ni Er's "Brothers of Righteousness". A certain one was originally bought as a spare, but unexpectedly it was actually used.One person promises one hundred taels of silver. There is nothing that people dare not do. What is it to catch a servant?

Tiekan Temple is not far from Shuiyue Nunnery, Baoyu did not live there in order to escape the suspicion, and Qin Zhong also had no chance to secretly visit Chen Cang with Xiaoni Zhizhier.In the original book, the two just met each other in Jia's mother's backyard. Now they don't know each other. Master Qin has no interest in living in a nunnery, so he happily spends the night talking with Jialan Jiazhu.

If you ask Jia Huan, he will share a room with Baoyu.Baoyu wants to engage in a conspiracy, not sure whether it will be at night or during the day, so he pours a bowl of "Wake Up No Headache Special Effect Wine" provided by Ni Er before going to bed, claiming that it is a calming wine, drinking it can sleep peacefully at night.Jia Huan didn't think that the second brother was brave enough to poison him to death, so he drank it obediently, and it really was Ye Wumeng...

However, a certain wine bought at a high price was wasted, and it was not until noon the next day that Mingyan quietly reported it.Jia Lian had communicated with Jia Zhen a long time ago, so he pointed out that he would bring Baoyu to open the way.

Li Gui, Zhang Ruojin and others were assigned "urgent work" by the fake stone. The five long followers didn't think anything wrong would happen because they were in the family temple. but no one hindered them.

The other Lian's Er Baoyu waited until a certain mountain pass, and Laiwang was hanged upside down on the tree by three masked men, his eyes turned white.

Baoyu didn't want to show his face, so the sweepers with tea and cigarettes hid on one side, beckoning Jia Lian to come forward.

Jia Lian had never personally engaged in beatings and killings. In order not to drop the price in front of Baoyu, he forced himself to take down Wang's gag and said calmly: "There are many wolves in the mountains. I can't bear you to be eaten by wolves." , what are you going to do with your master's name card?"

The author has something to say: Don't be scared to death, I suspect that Sister Feng is involved in Shuiyue Temple...
