Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

In the original book, "As soon as Grandma Liu entered the Rongguo Mansion", she described the luxury of Jia's family through her old man's eyes.In fact, there is only Rong Mansion in the Red Mansion, and there is no "Rong Guo Mansion".Wucaishi children's shoes said, it will also be Rongfu.Think about it, in the real feudal dynasty, the Duke of the Kingdom is long gone and it is still called "Rongguo Mansion", and all the censors are asleep?

Mrs. Wang is now pretending to be poor, and Baoyu doesn't intend to appear luxurious in front of Grandma Liu. Can the twenty taels of silver leaked from your hands be the same as the twenty taels of silver you did your best to help?

Baoyu always wears simple clothes in the family school, so there is no need to change clothes, so he just orders the servant to bring a stool.

Soon Zhou Rui led Grandma Liu, grandparents and grandchildren to come over. A certain one had only seen Grandma Liu the first time she traveled through time, and she felt very kind in her heart.

Grandma Liu has white hair all over her head, but she has a healthy body, wearing half-worn clothes for visiting guests.Ban'er was only five or six years old, wearing a thick cotton cap, and his eyes were rolling around.

Grandma Liu stepped into the threshold, and saw a young man wearing a silver-gray arrow-sleeve gown, with lacquered eyes and beautiful jade face, who looked like a fairy.

Baoyu smiled and said, "Grandma, you are breaking my birthday! Although I am young, I have already asked Uncle Zhou to understand. I have to call you Grandma. Please sit down and drink some tea."

Grandma Liu thanked her and asked to salute again.This time Baoyu didn't stop him, but he was so afraid of strangers that he hid behind Grandma Liu.Baoyu has his own way, and takes out a wooden Guan Gong Huarong Road and shakes it at the board.The youngest son couldn't resist the toy, so he rushed forward and grabbed it with his hands raised.

Satisfied, Baoyu ordered Saohong to teach Baner to play, and said to Grandma Liu: "Now our family is the housekeeper of Lian's second grandmother. She is my cousin. You may have heard of it. The nickname is 'Brother Feng', and it belongs to the uncle of the Wang family. daughter."

I don't know if Grandma Liu has really heard of it, she was full of joy and slightly surprised: "So it's her! I said she was good that day, so I have to see her today."

Baoyu shook her head: "I can't see her. She is raising her baby behind closed doors. All the family affairs are handed over to my mother. My mother is getting old, and she can't hold on after being busy with family affairs. Here, I come out to see my grandma."

Grandma Liu chanted "Amitabha Buddha" repeatedly, and congratulated her again, her expression flashed with distress and loss.

Pretending to be ignorant, Baoyu asked Grandma Liu's family about the recent situation and the harvest in the field.Grandma Liu was originally here to fight the autumn wind, so she lamented the poor harvest and the hardship of livelihood, and said that there was no winter ration.

Baoyu sighed with him: "Growing crops is all about looking at the sky and eating. Don't worry too much when you grow old. Maybe next year will be fine. I am now a junior student in school, and I have monthly money. I have a family for everything I eat and wear. Take care, but there is no need. You are old and see if there is enough to survive the winter, if not, I will think of a way. Mingyan, bring the box."

Ming Yanmian hesitated, pouted his mouth and took down the box from the bookshelf, and reported: "Second Master, I have kept the monthly money for the past two years and my wife's New Year's gift money tightly. .”

The big wooden box was opened, and there were silver pegs, silver pegs, broken silver, and copper plates inside.

Grandma Liu was ashamed, and it was different from beating a child to the mistress of the Rong Mansion. The money in the box looked like it had been saved for a long time.However, with the situation at home, if you return empty-handed, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive this winter.At the moment, nana said that there is no need for so much, and five liang of silver can survive the winter.

Baoyu secretly praised that it was quite sincere, and said in his mouth: "How many? Then I will keep two taels. You can use five taels for the winter. Can the other fifteen taels be used for some small business? According to me, it is more important to let Baner read Order a book, can he read?"

Grandma Liu smiled wryly: "How dare the peasants want to read and write."

Baoyu stabbed and said: "Think about what you are afraid of? I don't point to the scientific examination to become an official, I just hope that I will not be blind, and I will not suffer from small business in the future. It is not stupid for Baner to have active eyebrows. I intend to keep him Studying in our family school, only he is young, and the school is full of men, rough-hearted and clumsy, but it is not my fault that he suffers from the cold and gets sick due to lack of care. So I have a thought, and grandma thinks it is impossible. Mingyan, Get the book basket."

Mingyan took the eldest basket from the back room, and Baoyu narrated his display: "This is the book basket prepared by the secretary for the enlightenment boy. It is nothing more than pen, ink, paper and two books, one "Thousand Characters", one This "Three Character Classic", if you can recognize it, you can roughly recognize some characters."

Ming Yan answered: "Paper, writing and ink are very expensive. When I learned to read, I used a brush dipped in water to write. It looked decent, so I wrote a piece of ink for my husband."

Baoyu smiled and nodded: "This is a cheap way I came up with. Grandma, I mean, there are private schools in the village, right? Is there really? That's good, don't worry about paying money, sweep the red, take three yuan of the ink I use, ink rain Go and fetch a bundle of paper. Grandma, no scholar spares paper and ink, and I think the master will be happy to accept the paper as a gift."

Grandma Liu was in tears, and saluted Baoyu according to the board.Ban'er was so frightened that he grinned and cried. Baoyu patted his little head and said to Grandma Liu: "When my nephew Ban'er can read, it won't be the case now. I'll wait for him to recite the book to me."

Grandma Liu was very grateful, and Baoyu ordered Mingyan and Qianqi to take them home in the mule cart of the family school on the pretext that "the basket is heavy and the paper is heavy and the board is small".In fact, he wanted to find out where Grandma Liu lived. The original book was not written, and he didn't think it was necessary when he read it for the first time. As a result, he didn't know where to look for it this time.

The family school mule cart was bought this year, and its appearance is not eye-catching, so it is convenient for someone to go out to do ulterior motives, and it will not exceed the limit for a countryman to sit on.Grandma Liu declined a few words, wiped her tears and accepted, and kept chanting "Living Bodhisattva".

Zhou Rui brought Grandma Liu and his grandparents with him. At this time, Yili should also be sent to the car by him, but Baoyu left him behind.

Zhou Rui didn't know what the second master Bao had to say, so he waited eagerly.Baoyu sipped a cup of tea slowly and sent his attendant, Sao Hong, out to guard the gate. Fang smiled and asked, "Is it okay for me to do this?"

Zhou Rui didn't know what to say. According to him, Second Master Bao's words and demeanor would be demeaning. Poor relatives came to the house to beat the wind. He just wanted to reward him with a few dollars. Is it worth doing such a big article?It's just that it's hard to say these words, the little master is proud of himself, but he dare not disappoint.So he praised the second master Bao for his pity on the poor and the elderly, and prepared to give a few words of advice at the end.

Baoyu didn't have the patience to listen to the compliments, so he had something else to say when he stayed, so he interrupted with a smile: "It's not a big mistake, you can just reply to your wife like this. I haven't seen Laiwang for a while, you can go see him." past him?"

Zhou Rui wondered, Second Grandma Lian said that Laiwang had ruined the errand she assigned, and sent his family back to Jinling to see her dowry Zhuangzi. Haven't heard of it?

Thinking of this, he bent down and said: "In August, the rent collection still had some unfinished business. The slaves ran around, but failed to deliver to the Wang family. Lian's second grandma's dowry Zhuangzi was taken care of by her companion. The slave doesn't even know where the land is, even if he goes to the south, he doesn't know where to look for it."

Baoyu chuckled, then straightened his face again: "I told your wife once last year, and I'll tell you again today. Your son-in-law should take care of business, although disputes are inevitable, after all, peace makes money. There is nothing to look for I'm Lian's second sister-in-law. I wonder if she will take Lian's second brother's post and go out to do this or that. There is another matter, who do you go to? Looking for a wife? If the wife takes the master's post to do something wrong I don't follow things that are easy for people to know. The master is so upright, can it be a good thing if he knows about it?"

Zhou Rui's forehead was sweating, and although he had no choice but to be convinced, he immediately said: "Second master taught me a lesson! It must be that slaves' daughters-in-law don't know the importance, and slaves will teach them when they go back."

Baoyu sighed: "Who is your family? Would I be happy that everything goes smoothly for you? Besides, your son-in-law is also a good friend of Mr. Yucun, but this is too sharp, and you are the only ones who advise you as elders. In short, the wife has passed When the old man gives his wife a face, my heart feels like a knife, do you understand?"

Zhou Rui immediately knelt down to show his loyalty: "If the slave's family embarrasses the wife, the slave's ten thousand deaths will not be enough to atone for the crime! Don't worry, the second master, the slave will never allow them to bother the wife!"——If the matter is not too big, don't bother, the signboard of Rongfu is enough .

Baoyu stretched out his hand and said, "Get up quickly, the ground is cold. If I don't believe you, why do I need to say these things? I won't say more, go down."

Zhou Rui came out of the teacher's room, and the cold wind blew his head sober. The initial shock disappeared, and he was full of awkwardness. He respectfully kept his duty as a slave, but according to the rules of the house, Baoyu should call him "Uncle Zhou" But Baoyu never yelled, except for yelling in front of Grandma Liu. That posture was even better than the master!Maybe he has to nagging his son-in-law. Depending on the errands he does, he can pile up money casually. He doesn't need to be filial, and he doesn't need to hurt his old face for trivial matters.

Baoyu, who lives in the teacher's room, is not in a good mood either. He will preach to Zhou Rui because of his sympathy for each other.

But it is said that the winter is getting deeper and the twelfth lunar month is approaching. Li Gui came to report on this day, saying that Xiangyun's eldest maid, Cuilu, came to the family school.A certain one was startled, its eyes bulging: the family school does not allow girls to enter!

Li Gui hurriedly explained: "She was not allowed in. The historian sent someone to pick up Miss Smith..."

Baoyu jumped up and ran, Xiangyun always stayed until the New Year's Eve was almost over before returning home, this time it's not yet the New Year's Eve, most likely Zhong Jinghou came back from Yangzhou, there are some things I have to say!

He ran back to the mansion in a hurry, but there was no Zhongjinghou's carriage, only Baolinghou's, standing neatly at the second gate with Xiangyun wearing both tears.The fake stone twisted his heart, if a certain woman was in tears all day long, that would be the case, Xiang Yun Xiangbu moaned without illness, it really made him uncomfortable.

Xiangyun thought he couldn't wait for Baoyu, but when he saw that he didn't even sit in the carriage, he just ran here in a hurry. He couldn't help but stick it in his heart, and whispered: "You have to remember, even if the old lady can't remember, you often mention it." , Let the old lady send someone to pick me up to play."

Baoyu agreed, and speaking of it, all the girls in the Red Chamber are safe, and they never engage in high-risk romances.

Two days after Xiangyun left, Hou Fang of Zhongjing returned to Beijing with Daiyu, and told Mother Jia that Lin Ruhai had been buried in the ancestral grave in Gusu and that everything was settled.Before Shi Ding could finish his report, Jia pardoned Hu and dragged Lian Er to the general's mansion.

Mrs. Jia has no time to take care of Lian Er. Mrs. Zheng is not there, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang don't care, and Sister Feng is having a baby.

宝玉见势不对秘令茗烟往将军府放火，茗烟不负使命，往赦老爷心爱的马棚放了把火，令贾赦揍子半途而废。

But Jia She is faster than Mingyan, and Lian Er is still beaten miserably.

When the servants carried him back, he wanted to go to Baoyu's Baosha to recuperate his wounds: why only the master was beaten?Never let Baoyu be idle!

Baoyu doesn't think so, he thinks that Lian Er is very lucky--Shi Ding not only brings back Daiyu, but also brings back Lin Xing.

Lin Xing was a concubine who couldn't be an "heir" and didn't mention it at all, it was still vague.Zhong Jinghou only said that he took Lin Xing as his adoptive son (the "adopted father" is like a concubine, there is no limit to mutual affection), and he also said that one of his subordinates who died in battle had an orphan girl, who missed the flowering period because she first obeyed her father's filial piety and then her mother's filial piety. , and they will get married when the two children are out of the filial piety period (it is this incident that made Master She furious, it is obvious that Lin Xing has no fiancée, the bastard dares to lie to his father, disobedience!).

Lin Xing was Lord Hou's adoptive son and also a boy, Zhong Jinghou wanted Lin Xing to teach his son a martial artist, so he went to live in the historian's house.In addition, Shi Ding made up Daiyu's [-] taels of silver notes as a dowry, saying that the rest was donated by Lin Xing as military pay, and this matter has been reported to the emperor.

Bao Yusi and the original work imply that "three to two million" from the Lin family fell into the Rongfu through Jia Lian's unclear words. It is unknown whether Lin Xing also left so much.Anyway, no matter how much, and how much Zhongjinghou kept privately, at least he was not as ugly as the Jia family and devoured it all in one gulp.This guy ran to Yangzhou after Lin Ruhai's death, and came back after stealing a sum of money for the emperor. Even if it was only a few hundred thousand, the emperor would think him loyal.

But Jia Zheng cried and got drunk when he learned that Lin Ruhai's "heir" was also so loyal to the emperor.

Jia's mother fell on her back in anger, hating that none of her descendants were filial. The only consolation was that Daiyu's dowry was more than her mother's after all, that is, the Lin family finally got some dowry silver.

Because of the Lin family's affairs and the funeral of the wife in the tomb, the Rong Mansion has not been happy this year.

Daiyu was sad in her heart, she didn't think her dowry was small, she had quietly asked the nanny Wang Momo last year, and learned that it was very respectable for a prince's daughter to have ten thousand taels of silver in the box.She is only a daughter of the third rank, and the three thousand taels in the past were not too small, not to mention the scary fifty thousand taels now!What she didn't know was that what Nanny Wang said was a common practice, and Nanny Wang didn't know that Lin Ruhai would die at that time. Ji crooked.Now she is even more afraid, her children and grandchildren are already in the hands of Zhong Jinghou, and she can only say "what should be said".

In this way, Daiyu regards Jiamu's displeasure as a partiality for her, and there is inevitably a hint of joy in her sadness.

Although this is a bit unfilial, a girl who left her father at the age of six or seven can only stay at the "filial piety" taught by a female teacher. Looking at the 11-year-old sister Lin, she is more likely to lose her support fear.However, in order to let her understand the importance of dowry, Jia's mother has already whispered common sense and ulterior motives, so Sister Lin, who loves sorrow and sorrow, turns to the other extreme: I have a dowry, who am I afraid of!

Let's say Rong Mansion is gloomy, and the clouds break through the sunrise on the third day of the new year: Sister Feng is happy to have a son!

This is the successor of Rongfu, and Jia's mother is smiling. Jia Amnesty, regardless of the custom of boys not being named until they are three years old, named their grandchildren "Jia Jiang"—there is no such thing as a grandson in the cursive generation. Let's find someone from The surname of the Western Zhou royal family is the first name!

Jiang Ge'er and Qin Keqing are of the same generation, and he has to submit to Qi's mourning for one year, that is, he can't do any weddings before June this year, and he can't even do it for three full moons.Jia Amnesty quit and held a banquet in his general's mansion, only in the name of his grandson.Afterwards, the lord knew that his old man was happy to inherit a grandson, and they came to congratulate him one after another, and they were lively all the way until the Lantern Festival.

At this time, an even bigger piece of good news fell from the sky: Jia Yuanchun, the eldest lady of the Rong Mansion, was granted the title of Shangshu of Fengzao Palace and the title of Xiande Concubine!

The author has something to say: Grandma Liu brews new wine and drinks a bowl of He Rongfu's "big joy"!

Cough, this cannon fodder doesn't like to be sad, no matter who she marries, Sister Lin will change.

Of course, it won't be changed beyond recognition. She has a big backer, so she doesn't need to be a strong woman.
