Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 7: Out of the Backyard: Secrets of the Jia Family

Early the next morning, Mrs. Wang, with dark circles under her eyes, went to "greetings" to Jia Mu with the determination to fight to the end.

Mother Jia didn't bother her to talk more, and said with a smile that Baoyu was getting old, and it was time for Nanny Li to sue the old man to solve the problem.Then Li Gui, the son of Nanny Li, was arranged to be Baoyu's long-term attendant, and he would pick Baoyu to school after the beginning of spring.

Mrs. Wang's heart twitched!It's a common practice for a nanny to be a long-term follower. Last year when Baoyu went to school, he matched his nanny Zhao Yihua, Qian Qi, and Wang Rong as long-term followers. Because Baoyu spent two or three hours on the short road the day before, Jia Zheng scolded him. She sent her long follower Zhang Ruojin to lead the battle, which made her worry that Baoyu would be wronged.Later, seeing that Baoyu was "ill" today, "it's raining and the road is not good" tomorrow, and this sister and that sister had something to do, and they didn't go to school for a few days at all, so they let go.This time is different, Baoyu seems to have opened up, and she is thinking of sending her companion Zhou Rui as the leader to accompany her. The old lady bestowed this gift, Zhou Rui can only take Li Gui as the leader, and it is not as easy to save.

Although she hated it secretly, she couldn't object to this matter, so she had to smile and agree, and then said that Nanny Li had returned home, and she should mention another nanny, and proposed the candidate "Song Cai's family".

Jia Mu didn't make things difficult for her, she nodded after a moment of pondering, anyway, it's the same for everyone, the mother-in-law is just a decoration in Baoyu's room.Furthermore, Mrs. Song was originally her needlework girl, a embroiderer who was bought from outside, married and had a son Song Cai.

Mrs. Wang thought she had won the game, and took advantage of the victory to propose that Baoyu should live in the outer courtyard, and it was not appropriate to live in the backyard with a "other girl".

When Jia Mu heard this, she wished she could splash tea foam all over her face.After all, it is the old Fengjun, who endured this tone, praised Mrs. Wang for her thoughtfulness, and laughed and scolded: "They are only so old, so how can they be so particular? There is nothing wrong with you all hoping that Baoyu will concentrate on studying hard. It's just the same. , Only [-] students in the world are selected every three years. How many of the [-] Jinshi can really get a real job? The children in our family can't read or refuse to study, from Dongfu to Xifu, from Xi'er's house to yours, Who got a good one?"

Mrs. Wang's complexion changed drastically. She has been married to Jia's family for more than [-] years, so she knows some secrets——

After the peace of the world, the road to martial arts came to an end. Jia Daihua, the second generation of the Ning family, pointed his son to the imperial examination to become an official. His two sons also competed, especially the eldest son Jia Fu, who was called a child prodigy since childhood, but died in the exam. examination room.The second son, Jia Jing, was in good health, and he lived to be a second-ranked Jinshi in high school, fulfilling Jia Daihua's dream.However, it was very difficult for Wu Xun to integrate into the civil service circle after that. Jia Jing suffered a lot, and in the end he stood in the court by relying on Xijue. He was still a military officer, and he was a false first-rank general.As soon as he went up to court, civil servants and generals all squinted at him.He couldn't bear to see through the world of mortals, so he threw the title to his son Jia Zhen, and went to live in a Taoist temple to "cultivate immortals".

Rong Mansion Desolation ~ Jia She, who is obscene and obsessed, also cheered up when he was young. Because his studies were not as good as his younger brother Jia Zheng, he learned from Dongfu and put his hopes on his son.His eldest son is also a child prodigy like Jia Fu. He can read a book of poetry at the age of two or three, read four books, and can write poems and compositions.But the younger brother is always fun, one time because he was playing around and didn't finish writing the big characters, Jia She beat him up and down, and beat the eldest son to death!At that time, the eldest wife was about to give birth, and she mourned excessively and gave birth to dystocia, and died after giving birth to Jia Lian.Jia She was so remorseful that he almost killed himself.How many years have passed, and everyone dare not mention the poor mother and child.

At this time, Daiyu, Yingchun, Tanchun, Jia Zhen's younger sister Xichun, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing came to pay their respects one after another.Everyone in the room chatted and laughed, calling for breakfast.Mother Jia didn't let Mrs. Wang go back, she just stood and served honestly.

After eating, Mother Jia let the others go, leaving Mrs. Wang alone.Afterwards, the maids brought hot bird's nest porridge and various dishes and cakes, mandarin duck cloth chopsticks and amber porridge for Mrs. Wang.

Jia Mu just sips fragrant tea to accompany her, saying that Baoyu suffered a flesh injury and it is nothing serious, so she advises her not to worry too much, and to take care of her body and so on.Wait for her to use it, and order Yuanyang to send the second wife.

The mandarin ducks talked and sent them all the way to the backyard door, and finally said with a smile: "Second Master Bao is born with good luck, if there is a little bump, the second wife can just relax. When the second master Bao marries a good wife, the second wife will not be able to enjoy it all." Fu. The old lady also said yesterday that 'it is better to get married than to do well in the exam', and the second master Bao will definitely do well in the exam and get married."

Unmarried girls say that marriage is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, and the mandarin ducks are slow at first and then fast, and they back off and slip away after talking.

Mrs. Wang was originally a clumsy person, and she didn't even react at first, she held her chest in a breath, so she couldn't get over it!What is it that "it is better to get married than to be good in the exam", don't even think about giving Baoyu that sick daughter of the Lin family!The good-for-nothing Jia family is crazy about entering the civil service circle!Is it so easy for a girl from a civil servant's family to marry Wu Xunzi?As long as you agree, there must be something wrong!

Jia Rong married Ying Shanlang's daughter, and Qin Keqing was just an adopted daughter. Her alluring appearance must have come from a wrong path!Zhu'er married the daughter of the Guozijian offering wine, but Li Shouzhong "was" offering wine to the Guozijian, and he was no longer when he married his daughter!Besides, Li Wan is just a concubine named under the name of her aunt.That's all, it's only when she gets married that she doesn't know many characters, so she's not as good as a mother-in-law!

What did you say that Li Shouzhong insisted that "a woman without talent is a virtue", and he didn't really ask his daughter to study. Who knows that "all men and women in the Li family do not read poetry and read", if it turns out that the daughter of the Li family does not study, she will give Li Wan some words "Palace Judge"?Who can write for a woman who doesn't read?It was clear that she was too stupid to teach her, so her aunt finally abandoned her and allowed her to marry anyone she wanted.

Zhu'er, the dignified great-grandson of the Duke of Rongguo and a scholar in the [-]th year, in the eyes of civil officials, is only worthy of marrying their daughter who no one wants!That poor girl beat Pearl to death, but the old godly woman pitied her in every possible way, and even blamed her husband and wife for killing Pearl!

Then there is the Lin family, that is a living lesson!Gusu Lin family Muwen, Lin Laohou robbed a former civil servant daughter when he was conquering the world. Originally, he could become a prince and become a marquis for his wife's family.Forget it, the scholarly wife looked down on him, and after giving birth to a son, she respected him like a passer-by.

Should you learn your lesson?Old Hou Ye Lin conspired to marry a civil servant's daughter for his only son. The world is no longer easy to rob, and finally married a delicate and frail woman who would not be easy to give birth to.This woman is still jealous, all the concubines in the room did not lay eggs, only she gave birth to a son.The third and fourth generations still follow the old path. Although they have mixed into the civil service circle, the Lin family has become a single pass from generation to generation!Especially Lin Hai's old man, who is in poor health, left before his son grew up.Mrs. Lin made up her mind to marry the military officer's daughter, and the Jia family was able to marry the Lin family. In the end, the Lin family still had no heirs.Although she said Jia Min was not pleasing to the eye, Jia Min did not look like a bad child.

The blood of the Lin family must never be taken!Mrs. Wang was mingled with anger and hatred, her forehead was throbbing, her legs were trembling, and she couldn't even get on the sedan chair.She has a plump figure, and the maids and mothers-in-law worked hard to stuff her into the sedan chair.

The sedan chair is on the road between Rongqing Hall and Jiamu Courtyard.Rongqing Hall is on the west side of Rongxi Hall. It was Jia Daishan's residence as a symbol of status when he was alive. After the Earl left, his wife Jia Shishi originally lived in the "backyard" to the south of Rongqing Hall, so he didn't need to move.

But it is said that a group of people walked from Rongqing Hall to Rongxi Hall, and the women who carried the sedan chair stopped: Rongxi Hall was the place where the Duke lived, and masters and servants always passed by on foot.

Zhou Rui's family only regards their wives as their masters, glaring at them and waving their hands, forcing the wives to pass by in sedan chairs.

In Mrs. Wang's bedroom, Baoyu was talking to Tanchun.When he fell yesterday, Sanchun was studying with the female teacher, so she didn't get the news at the first time. Later, Jia's mother told them not to disturb Baoyu's rest.When she said hello this morning, Tanchun learned that Baoyu had recovered. She knew that Mrs. Wang didn't like Daiyu, so she simply found an excuse to leave Yingchun and Xichun behind, and came to visit quietly by herself.It took a long time for Fake Stone to attach importance to this shrewd and capable loli concubine, and deliberately set up friendship with her.

Even though Tanchun is only seven years old, he has already taken down the maid and woman beside him.Her biological mother, Aunt Zhao, was born in a family, and she has also grasped the relationship among servants.Mrs. Wang was carried through Rongxi Hall, she was obviously not in good health, and someone came to deliver a message to her immediately.

When Baoyu heard this, he was startled and regretted. When he encouraged Mrs. Wang to fight, he forgot to consider Mrs. Wang's endurance. Jia Mu is an old fox, and the two of them are not in the same tonnage. Mrs. Wang must be overwhelmed. stroke.

At that moment, he grabbed Tanchun's hand and said mournfully: "Send my wife to me! Please! Third sister, the imperial doctor said that I can't move. If I can't see my wife, I will fight for it even if I don't work hard." Come to my wife!" As he spoke, he wanted to get up.

Tanchun pressed him down: "Second brother, don't panic, this is the wife's room, and the wife comes here naturally."

Little Lolita ran out and saw the sedan chair entering the courtyard.Taking a second look, I didn't see Jin Chuan'er (who was on duty last night and is now catching up on sleep).She didn't dare to command her aunt's companion, Zhou Rui's family, and with a wave of her little hand, she directly ordered to the women who carried the sedan chair: "Madam misses the second brother, carry the wife into the room of the second brother. Madam will be fine once she relaxes. Hurry up! "

Mrs. Wang was just out of breath for a while, and now she has recovered, and she wants to say a lot to her precious son.Feeling that the steps of the women carrying the sedan chair were slow, they said weakly: "Go to Baoyu."

At this moment, Aunt Zhao rushed over, her face full of schadenfreude, she couldn't cover it with a handkerchief, and let out a sob that couldn't be faked anymore: "One or two, don't you hurry up and listen to your wife's orders? Mother and child are connected, even if there is one good or bad. Together..."

Tanchun was trembling with anger, and shouted, "Go down!"

Aunt Zhao flicked her handkerchief: "Third Miss, who are you yelling at? She really picked a high branch and climbed up! No matter how high she climbed, she crawled out of the intestines of the servant..."

Before she could finish her performance, Wang Xifeng arrived and yelled: "Aunt Zhao is so majestic, is she training the master? The third girl is doing something wrong, and her wife and master are in charge of it. What does it have to do with you?" ?” He scolded the maid and mother-in-law again: “They are all dead? Why don’t you invite Aunt Zhao down!”

Aunt Zhao didn't dare to bother others to invite her, so she went away.Relying on being rewarded by the old lady, she dared to stab Mrs. Wang who was fighting openly and secretly with the old lady. When she met Wang Xifeng, she didn't dare to fart.Sister Feng is a big celebrity in front of the old lady. She gave her a few eye drops, and she couldn't cry.

A group of people brought Mrs. Wang into the room, and Baoyu had instructed Caixia and Xiren to put the pillows to guide the pillows.

Everyone put Mrs. Wang on the kang. Seeing that his teammate didn't look like he had suffered a stroke, the fake stone heaved a sigh of relief, and began to act stupid, calling "Madam" loudly, tears streaming down his face.

A certain person is not a master with well-developed lacrimal glands. Fortunately, Xian Xiren brought his snacks. Candied ginger is an ancient gold medal lachrymator. It is difficult not to cry if you pick ginger with your fingernails and wipe your eyes.

Mrs. Wang was both pained and relieved, and sighed: "I'm fine, I didn't fall asleep last night, and I can't hold on."

The fake stone cried more and more happily, Wang Xifeng smiled and said: "Brother Bao, you are making my aunt unable to rest even more! You must not move around, just because of your fall, my aunt and uncle can't rest at night, my sister and sister All panicked. Let me tell you, it was a good fall! There is a cousin of the Lin family who is visiting in the old lady’s house, and you can’t disturb her. Sister Lin is a cowardly lady who knows how to eat and take medicine, without you This is so solid, don't be crazy and foolish to scare people."

Mrs. Wang felt that the depression in her chest had dissipated a lot, so she called Caixia to pour a cup of tea.

Wang Xifeng raised her eyebrows: "Auntie, don't drink tea, tea is too disturbing, and drink a glass of clear water. You have to take care of yourself, Brother Bao has a temper, and he can only take a breath when he talks about marriage on the [-]th or [-]th and gets married back to his wife." .”

Mrs. Wang sat up straight, her eyes sparkling: Only small families and grassroots people would order such "baby marriage", and people with a little foundation would not do this!Unforeseen circumstances, among other things, the little brother and little girl who is betrothed will surely live to adulthood?But if one party dies, the other party will bear the name of Ke wife Kefu.Even if you don't die young, marriage is the best way to marry two surnames. If one party's family background collapses, marriage is tantamount to becoming a burden, and the whole family will lose face if they regret the marriage, or even face a lawsuit.Therefore, it is always necessary to get engaged one or two years before they get married. God knows if the Lin family's daughter will collapse in the wind, and if she will live to the end.

Baoyu took a look and thought of the famous "Ginseng Yangrong Pill Case" in the Red Chamber Tongren, thinking that Wang Xifeng's words made Mrs. Wang have the evil idea of ​​poisoning sister Lin?

But she saw Mrs. Wang falling backwards and reappearing depressed: "That is to say, Baoyu is eight years old, and the old lady always keeps him in the backyard. It's hard to say, what should I do?"

Wang Xifeng said in her heart that if I want to help you get Baoyu out, the old lady can swallow me alive!He smiled at the moment and said, "Auntie is really impatient. Baoyu is still recovering from her injuries. Let the old lady rest assured when she recovers from her injuries."

Mrs. Wang also knew that she was not in a hurry, so she waved her hands and said, "Go and do your work, I have to squint for a while."

Wang Xifeng said a few words of comfort, Shi Shiran left.

Tanchun, who has been pretending to be a wallflower, sees that there are only Caixia and Xiren left, pointing out that Xiren is the only one left, then leans forward and sneaks up, saying: "Ma'am, it's hard or easy for the second brother to move out of the inner courtyard, as long as the second brother himself speaks to the old lady." That's it."

Immediately, the eyes of the fake stone bulged, and it was so easy to say, why did I have to go around mountains and rivers?Get out of the old lady's arms and act like a baby: "Old fox, please let me go, this weak chick. I will recommend another healthy chick to you. The one named Jia Minghuan is good, and the one named Jia Cong is also good. They How sturdy, would love to jump in!"

The author has something to say: Look, Mrs. Wang's sedan chair is from the west road through the Rongxi Hall to the courtyard of the second room.
