Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Jia Amnesty didn't mean to put on airs when he called Jia Zheng here to talk about his mother's visit.According to his temperament, he wanted to kill the second brother directly.But for some reason, after years later, his bones were always tired and he didn't like to move much.

If a certain little man knows this, he will be shocked, because he hasn't done it yet!Furthermore, Jia She's symptoms resembled the "lazy syndrome" of Sister Lin whom he had seen when he first wore it.Based on this appearance, and then checked the ginseng health pills that Jia She often took, the conclusion jumped out.It's a pity that Jia Amnesty is an unfilial thing. It's rare to go to pay respects to Jia's mother, and he will leave after a while.Even the piercing-eyed mother of Jia couldn't detect the strangeness. After all, Jia She had been hollowed out by the concubine long ago. If it wasn't for seeing each other every day, no, if it wasn't for staying together for a long time, Master She would still be as majestic as before, so who I can't think of a problem with the tonic.

Although he was not in a good mood, Boss Jia's brisk temper remained the same as before, and he said straight to the point: "Second brother, you should already know about the matter of mother's visit. I don't point you to come up with a charter, just go to the four kings and eight men. The family will inform you, but we brothers have to go together."——Damn Jia Laoer, if it wasn't for your second wife's troubles and debts, the master would have asked his son to come, but now he has to sell his old face and bother him Come to the door in person!

Mr. Zheng was secretly startled. At first Mrs. Wang said to him, "I am afraid that Mr. Wang will use this to extend his hand to the princes' mansions." someone else's house?If you insist on telling relatives and friends, there is no need for the two brothers to come to the door together.

So he twirled his beard with his hands, and muttered: "The families of the two noble concubines haven't submitted the petition yet, so we don't have to wait. I know that other families are repairing gardens, but ours doesn't. Your Majesty has taken a fancy to the Daylily Garden. I have already inspected it carefully, and I can do some repairs. The Yixin Hall of the Daylily Garden is next to the mother’s backyard. "

Old Jia was so angry that he couldn't make a sound, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Jia Lao Er, his finger was trembling.

Jia Zhen hurriedly smoothed things over: "The second master has always been a real success, and the elder master didn't know it until now, so I dare not be angry. The second master, it's not that my nephew said you are an old man, but your mother said 'thrifty', it's your mother's compassion, but How could such an unprecedented divine grace be so neglected? Those who didn’t know said that we would pretend to be poor after paying back the imperial silver, and harbor resentment in our hearts.”

Jia Zheng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Jia Sheshun sighed and sneered, "That's exactly what I said! I kicked a girl who didn't have long eyes to get in the way. Some people said that I was resentful. Take an unused broken yard to pick up your wife." , are you not afraid of people talking about it?"

Mr. Zheng's forehead was buzzing, and when it came to talking, he couldn't beat the unreasonable elder brother, and Jia Zhen, who was slippery and smooth-tongued, how could he be an opponent?

But there is no one around Mr. Zheng who is stupid, including Mrs. Wang who is known for being "stupid". The empress has an oral order", "The empress herself fell in love with the Hemerocallis courtyard", and said that the old sage and the present are both frugal and would never blame the Jia family.Anyway, he absolutely does not plan to ask for money from the four kings and eight princes. Hou Bozi doesn't care how close your relatives are, he will never go!

Jia Laoer didn't eat oil and salt, and made Jia Lao very angry, wishing to give this nerd two ears!However, he is the biological father of the empress, so it would be wrong to build a provincial house without political nerds as a signboard.

I had no choice but to ask the old lady for help.Originally, this matter could not be surpassed by the old lady, Master Xi's original plan was to get a sum of money and then tell the old lady.The old lady is shrewd, she has gone through the road from the beginning, it is not so convenient for him to get money.

Jia Zhen was also deeply displeased. He first talked to Jia Lian, but Lian Er didn't listen to the greeting. That kid has the Xue family and doesn't care about the little money anymore. Unexpectedly, the political lord was stubborn!

It is impossible for Mother Jia not to know about the grand event that has spread all over the capital, and she was out of anger for not saying anything at first. Ever since her good granddaughter Yuan Chun became a concubine, Mrs. Wang has been in a state of despair all day long!You are reluctant to part with your daughter, what did you do back then?Could it be that her old woman forced Yuan Chun into the palace?Besides, girls always want to marry, and when they leave the house, they are always splashed with water. With Yuan Chun's identity, she must marry the eldest son. How easy is it to start with the great-grandson's daughter-in-law?If you meet a mother-in-law like Wang herself, life will be hard!What's wrong with these days?Noble concubine, the Duke of the State didn't have any aunts and concubines in the Jia family at that time.

When Boss Jia came to talk about it, Mother Jia was furious!Ridiculous, she has never seen such foolish parents, which family doesn't fight for their daughter's face?Those in the palace who are uplifting and stepping down, dare to use a broken yard to send Yuanchun away. How will Yuanchun see people in the future?Didn't she really grow up by her side?Pearl grew up beside them, she was forced to die!Baoyu, leave the examination room at the age of ten!The only orphan Zhuer left behind, Ding Lang, was rushed into the examination room at the age of eight.The concubine and the concubine are not treated badly, what a pair of bastard couples!

However, Mother Jia did not agree to reach out to the lords. What Zhong Jinghou did broke her heart.Why can't Rongfu build a garden?The Xue family should help Yingchun to marry a businessman.Then there is the Ning Mansion, where snowflakes and silver are paving the ground for the funeral of the daughter of a prostitute, shouldn't the mother-in-law pay some money?And Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper these years, think that others don't know that she embezzled a lot of money?If you don't want to pay money, you must pay!Baoyu doesn't point to the private money of the second room, with Daiyu's dowry, and her wife's help, not to mention how rich, in this life, there is more than enough food and clothing.

Mother Jia told the abacus that Mr. Xi was a little disappointed, but after Xue's family quickly took out one hundred thousand taels of dowry money, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was too little, and it was not good to change his words. The family gave out money, anyway, Jia Lian, a commoner, took care of it, and told the boy to be filial.

The mother and son decided to call the second room to talk the next day, and Baoyu also called. Mother Jia was so disgusted with the courtyard test that she would go to the shed at the age of 12, don't go in standing up and come out lying down!

Baoyu unceremoniously took Jia Lan with him. The rich family has no young children. You are the heir and grandson of the second room. You should see it.

Sanchun is a lady, so she didn't participate.But they knew that things were going to be serious today, so they quietly gathered in Xipingju, where Daiyu lived next to Jiamu's upper room.You said that Yingchun will leave the cabinet next month, why isn't she busy with her own affairs?Chirp, Sister Feng's bag is round, she doesn't want Yingchun to be too capable.

At this time, when Jiamu went to the room, Mrs. Xi and Mrs. Xing, whose leg was not healed, were sitting next to the old lady on the left and right.The patriarch and his wife of the Ning Mansion also came. Jia Zhen and You Shi sat at the lower left of Jia's mother, and then Ding Jiarong, the heir of the Ning Mansion, sat next to her.Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Wang sit at the lower right of Jiamu, and Baoyu and Jialan are below.

Lian and his wife don't have to sit, but stand!Mother Jia has a very good opinion of them. Are you from the first or second bedroom?Always fighting with his own father, although Jia She is usually confused, he is not confused when it comes to big things!

Of course, when she was angry again, Jia Mu was also smiling and seldom eloquently said: "Nowadays, the whole city is arguing about the matter of mother's visit. Our family started from a grassy and humble family, and we are blessed by the grace of God. We are now rich and honored. We dare not forget the grace of God for a day." .The empress, Fengluan, returns to the province to bring glory to the whole family, and it is a big deal to grow, Boss, you are the head of the family, do you have a charter?"

Jia She's belly bulged, and he talked about the way he and Jia's mother had planned together.

The corners of Lian Er's eyes twitched. Although he guessed that his father would take the opportunity to reach out to the Xue family, it was too much to be so righteous, and he was not the wife of the Xue family!

Sister Feng stared at him out of the corner of her eyes, full of gloating, you have to swallow your own words, it was my grandma's idea that Yingchun married into Xue's family, you are black-hearted, let grandma spit it out!

It's not yet Lian's second couple's turn to say anything, and the mother's own parents are sitting first.Jia Zheng was looked at by Jia's mother, he also raised his head, and said his old tune for the nth time.

Mrs. Jia was furious and roared: "Well, you second child, I will tell you clearly that my mother is the eldest girl of Rongfu, and I will never allow you to be treated so slowly! You don't need to worry about building another courtyard, second brother and sister, you take out ten Wanliang silver, don't worry about the rest!"

Mrs. Wang's head is on fire, if she thinks I'm Xue Wang's idiot?One hundred thousand taels, I can't kill you!Now he said with a smile but not a smile: "In order to welcome my mother, it is necessary to take out all my dowry. Only our master said that it is better to save relatives. The mother's oral order is to me. Dare to disobey my mother's edict."——I understand that even if I resist the edict, my old lady only has a dowry, and the money is just three thousand taels, and all the jewelry and furniture shops are sold, which is less than six thousand taels.

Mother Jia paused on her crutches, and sighed pitifully: "The second child, how can you say otherwise? You also came from being a girl. Could it be that when you return home, you will say, 'It's rare for me to go back to my mother's house. Can’t be frugal’. Our family doesn’t want to be extravagant, but we have to live well on the surface. Really take the daylitter yard to pick up the empress... What does daylilies mean? Baoyu, you are a child, so tell me the meaning of daylilies.”

Baoyu stood up respectfully: "Hemerocallis is also called Wangyoucao. It is said in the Book of Songs: 'Beitang is dark, you can grow daylilies'. Beitang is the mother. When you travel far, you will plant daylilies in Beitang first, so as to reduce the burden on the mother. Missing the child, forgetting worries. Tang Mengjiao has "Wandering Poems": "Hemerocallis grows on the steps of the hall, and the wanderer travels to the end of the world; the loving mother leans on the door of the hall, but the day lily flowers are not seen." Flowers. Hold a cup for mother's birthday, and there is no noise when you are happy.'”

In fact, daylilies are day lilies, which are easy to grow and cheap, so there is a saying among the people that eating day lilies is easy to raise children, so the poet extended the meanings that Baoyu said.

There is a day lily garden in Rongfu, which was called "Day Lily Garden" at first, because it was too vulgar and similar to "Huanghua Girl", so it was ridiculed by literati, and later changed to "Day Lily Garden".

What Jiamu is familiar with is that daylilies' original meaning is "cheap", but she has also heard of the meaning behind it.But her old lady would not be troubled, raised her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, and sighed: "The second one, can you hear me clearly? The lady refers to the Hemerocallis Yard, that means something else!"

Jia Zhen was depressed, the opportunity to make money together, unexpectedly got him to pay for the money.But he had to express something, and immediately answered: "Wearing the empress's intentions, how can we not do our best to let the empress know that the whole family is safe. In this way, it is not easy for me, a junior, to surpass the second master and the second wife, and I will offer fifty thousand taels To build other courtyards."

Jia She wished he could kick him, dignified patriarch, fifty thousand taels? !

Jia Lian's eyes flashed, and he rushed to the words: "Today, in the past, to go out of the palace to build a mansion, and to marry the present empress and concubine, there are only a total of [-] princes from the inner palace, and the concubine's house should not exceed this number."

Mr. Xi wished he could swallow Nizi alive, a hundred thousand taels, what a waste? !

Jia's mother also thought it was absurd, the prince's case was the prince's case, but which prince really only relied on one hundred thousand couples to build a mansion to get married?Not to mention that foreign ministers are filial, and the foreign family should display it?Immediately she smiled across Jia Lian's eyes and asked Sister Feng, "What do you say, your housekeeper grandma?"

Sister Feng giggled, covered her mouth again, and said in a pretty voice: "The old ancestor praised me too much! I am young and have little knowledge, how can I understand this? It's just that the old ancestor pointed at his grandson's daughter-in-law. If I push back, the old My ancestors will never forgive me! According to my grandson's humble opinion, let's see how other people's houses are built, and draw ladles like gourds. Besides, Concubine Zhou's house was built at her own house. Our mother wants to come back to see what it means. Look at the old boudoir. Although our Rong Mansion is a bit smaller, it’s just across the street from Ning Mansion, and it’s a private street. I don’t know how much Master Zhen is reluctant to give up Huifang Garden..."

Mr. Zheng sternly shouted: "Don't!" - What kind of place is Huifangyuan, it humiliates the empress!Besides, Rongfu is so small, you can run a horse from south to north, and you have to take a carriage from east to west!

The atmosphere froze for a while, and Mother Jia smiled lightly: "Second boy, only one day lily yard is absolutely impossible. Your mother grew up in front of my old lady. You don't hurt me, but I do!"

Is this what must be built?Jia Lian was full of bitterness, exchanged glances with Baoyu, and said with a smile: "I don't know what the rules of the ancestors are? It's good for the children to know."

Jia's mother raised her eyelids: "What Feng girl said just now is not wrong. Let's see how other people's houses are built. Let's not go past the two noble concubines' natal homes. Besides, let's show the picture of Zhang Jian's other courtyard first, and see how much it costs." silver."

Jia Zhen laughed: "It's just a coincidence that my nephew just met the old Ming Gong who planned to build a provincial house for Concubine Zhou's family. He has a good friend named Shan Ziye, who is also an expert in garden planning..."

Baoyu sneered in her heart, she knew this Shan Ziye, who would kill people without paying for her life, would come out!Seeing that Mother Jia nodded slightly, she got up before her old man made a decision, and took out a scroll of paintings from the armband: "My ancestor, my grandson also knows a master from the outside world, named Yi Ou Ke, whose handwriting is unique. Ge, please have a look at the ancestors!"

The author has something to say: Who can say that Master Daguanyuan is in a hurry with him!How frugal, no need to build a house, and there is no ready-made day lily yard here.
