Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

There are nearly a thousand servants in the Rong Mansion, and there are too many people to do things. Many people try to work less and get more money, and get paid even if they don't work.

The girls stayed in Xiaoguanzhuang, and I don't know how many of them came to Sister Feng to pray.So in addition to the original ones, each girl added two nuns and four maids, and assigned cleaning staff everywhere.The main hall of the family visitation, that is, the building of Rongxi Hall, is so unbelievable that six women and eight servants were sent to sweep the floor and whisk the dust.It can be predicted that before long, the money spent in the village will exceed the cost of construction, and in one fell swoop, Sister Feng will once again win the good reputation of "having the style of everyone's grandma".

Uh, because Jia's mother said that she was going to visit her relatives in advance, she didn't copy any of the servants who went back to her mother's house for one day to expand her enrollment in Yuanchun. Raising flowers, grass, fish, birds, etc. can not save manpower.There is also a nun who was born as an official and lady who practiced wearing hair. It is absolutely necessary to have a kitchen for vegetarians and a sewing room for four seasons clothes.

There are five girls, one sister-in-law, one noble nun (Miaoyu), and nearly three hundred maids and wives. Xiaoguan Zhuang and Hemerocallis Yard sometimes use tricks to embroider belts and grass to blow fragrance.The girls play the piano, play chess, paint pictures and recite poems, or paint phoenixes, embroider phoenixes, and grass hairpins, or solve character puzzles, read and write, very happy.

But Xiangyun was not very satisfied, so he instigated Baoyu to form an association to fight poetry (don't accuse her of having no tutor and ignorance of male and female defense, Wumen doesn't pay much attention to this aspect, otherwise why Wenmen looked down on Wumen).This day she started the conversation again: "It's not that Baoyu's teacher pointed out that he has limited talents, suitable for reciting poems and singing harmony, it's snowing, and it's almost Chinese New Year, what books do you still read?"

This was the first snow this year. Tanchun didn't point out the absurdity of her words, but said, "Lan'er will take the government exam next year." What she didn't say was that Jia Huan will take the county exam in February next year, that's hers My younger brother is a bastard, so I'm embarrassed to make it public.

Xichun supports Xiangyun: "Then there is no need to accompany him every day! At first, he took the college entrance examination by himself, and he could see each other every now and then, but now it's good, and we don't see each other for ten days and a half months!" ——Rongfu is always overcrowded in the last season of every year, Jia Zheng was afraid that the little ones would be distracted, so he excused them from the morning and evening appointments.

Baochai didn't like the second room of the Rongfu. She greeted Mrs. Wang out of kinship, but the aunt was so kind, she didn't even show her face, and she never gave her a smile.So she said with a smile: "A man has his own aspirations. How can I disturb Cousin Bao when I wait for a girl in the back house? It doesn't make him think that I can't be quiet and self-conscious when I wait for good food and a good life."

The words are very reasonable, but Daiyu listened strangely, and frowned slightly: "Baoyu is not such a person, but Lan'er went back to the mansion for an examination, so he was nervous, so he stared at Lan'er for a while. Read books and exercise regularly."

Xiangyun clapped his hands together: "Isn't it time to train your body! The gentleman's six arts 'shooting' ranks third, Grandma Zhu, why don't you let your Lan Geer enter the village to shoot and hunt!"

Daiyu's phoenix eyes slanted: "Are you shooting in the village?"—Shooting people?

Xiangyunyu waved his hand: "Why can't you shoot and hunt? Didn't you see the sparrows? Tigers, leopards and wolves are so big that you can only practice how accurate they are. Shooting sparrows is the skill!" Then she fingered her cheeks and shamed Daiyu: "I laughed at me in the past Biting your tongue, repaying the present world, and stuttering, let's see how you find brother-in-law Lin!"

Daiyu was ashamed and annoyed. Others cared that she was still in the filial piety, so she never said too much, but Xiangyun would talk and laugh every time she came!At the moment, I don't care much anymore, and danced wildly with jade hands: "The master is shameful! If you don't catch the shameless one for me, spit on her hard!"

Zijuan and Xueyan were eager for this sound, and immediately yelled coquettishly, and rushed towards them with baring teeth and claws.

Xiangyun only came to Rongfu for a short stay, and the maid only had one Cuiwei, so she definitely couldn't do it.So she swished behind Li Wan: "Well, you big grandma, don't you care about these wild girls?"

Because they mentioned Jia Lan first, Li Wan thought of his son, and let them talk nonsense. This would make a mess. He pointed his fingers and scolded with a smile: "Are you sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight? Don't you want to tear up the captives?" opened!"

Waiting for Shu and Cui Mo to wait for Tanchun to speak, they rushed forward to "tear the captive", and all the girls twisted into a ball.

Xichun clapped her hands and laughed, "First two tigers were fighting, now it's a group of tigers fighting, the village is full of tigresses! Sister-in-law Zhu, quickly ask Bao Yulan to join the village, if you don't 'hunt', we will be eaten by tigers!"

Tanchun turned around and pinched her: "It's actually adding fuel to the fire, see if I don't tear your narrow mouth!"

Not to mention the hustle and bustle in Xiaoguanzhuang, the atmosphere in Baoyu Baoxia was sluggish this night.

Now Baoyu takes Jialan Jia around Jia Cong and Jia Zhu, or lives in a family school (usually), or in the Baosha in front of Rongqing Hall (on the first and fifteenth day of the junior high school, and if you want to take the scientific examination for two days, you have to ask for peace).They lived in the family school and the building, and Qin Zhong naturally came to live with him. The age gap between him and Jia Qiang was a bit big, and they couldn't play together (or they didn't call when they met).

Qin Zhong was careful, and noticed that Jia Huan's expression was not right for the past two days, so he stared at him quietly, and then found five green-faced white-haired ghosts with paper hinges from under Baoyu's mattress, and a small paper figurine with Baoyu Niangeng written on it.

This is a big case in the original book of the Red Chamber: Aunt Zhao deeply hated Sister Feng who never gave her good looks, and was deeply jealous of Baoyu, thinking that once Sister Feng died, others would be easy to deal with;Baoyu's godmother, Ma Daopo, saw her thoughts and teased her with words. Aunt Zhao gave her all the money she had saved for her brother, and wrote down a five hundred taels of debt, asking Ma Daopo to kill Baoyu and Sister Feng in the same way. .After Ma Daopo did it, Baoyufeng and Sister Baoyu went mad and fell into a coma again. Miaomiao Daoist came and held the "Psychic Treasure Jade", that is, five-colored stones. , 33 days later, the two recovered.

Baoyu, the crossing card, doesn't understand what Aunt Zhao is thinking. Once he and Sister Feng die, the Rongfu will belong to Jia Huan?Not to mention that Brother Jiang is still young, but Jia Lian and Jia Cong are two giants standing there!Even the Second Household would not belong to Jia Huan. Jia Lan is the Second Household's serious heir, not even Baoyu.In the future, the third share of the Rongfu property inherited by Mr. Zheng will be passed on to Jia Lan, so Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang will plan every possible way for Baoyu.

The fake stone once wanted to get rid of Ma Daopo, but Ma Daopo had several times, although she often came to Rongfu to cheat women's money, she had never seen him face-to-face for more than four years.Furthermore, Wucaishi said that it was "dusted" by Shenying's waiter (that is, it was tired and didn't pay attention to outside affairs). The waiter is different, even if it is "dusty" Ma Daopo can't hurt him.So the cross-traveler had a dark thought: Sister Feng is a big trouble, if Ma Daopo can only harm Sister Feng, why bother?So put the matter aside.

The original book did not explain who put the five ghosts and the little paper man on the bed of Sister Feng and Baoyu. Here it is Jia Huan who harmed Baoyu.There was no opportunity for Jia Huan in the family school, so Baoyu first lived alone in a school teacher's room, and locked it when he was away; then dragged Liu Xianglian, who helped train the Mingyans, to live with him, and even if he lent Jia Huan his courage, he would not dare to provoke Liu Xiashi. .

Baoxia is different, the last season of each year is very busy, Liu Xianglian will not come to live here, even though she is an orphan and has a direct aunt, there are always various trivial things to do.Furthermore, all the boys live in the east room, and the rooms are arranged like this: Jia Cong lives in one room with Shuang Duan and Shuang Shou, because he sleeps dishonestly and needs a servant to stay at night; Jia Lan Jia Jun and Qin Zhong share one room Baoyu occupies the master bedroom exclusively, and next to the two rooms used to be the maidservant's mother-in-law of the previous night, one for Mingyan and one for Jiahuan.

In this way, it is too convenient for Jia Huan to commit crimes.How did Qin Zhong find out?Because Baoyu's bedroom was not locked, he dared not lock the door no matter how much he wanted to have his own private space. There are obedient maids and wretched women here. If he locks the door, gossip will spread throughout the house.Qin Zhong had seen Jia Zhen's concubines kill each other in the Ning Mansion, and the usual method was to hide some shady things in each other's house, so he quietly checked Baoyu's room several times a day, and Jia Huan discovered it just after he started.

Qin Zhong's surname is one, and he didn't call it out on the spot. He discussed it with his close friends Jia Lan and Jia Zhu in private.Furious, the two buns arrested Jia Huan without reporting to their parents or Baoyu.

At that time, Baoyu was in the Westinghouse, and had seen the winter gifts prepared to be sent everywhere.

It's going to be night, why didn't he go to etiquette class?It's not that senior brother Zhang is a student of the Imperial College, and there is an annual exam, so he had to take the junior leave and let him practice by himself, claiming that he will take the exam during the New Year's greetings.False Stone thinks that Brother Zhang is psychologically unbalanced, and the irritable candidate wants to make others feel uneasy.

But he said that the fake stone was looking at the gift given to Lu Zuo's senior brother Zhang, and Lian Er came back from the outside, and the two inevitably discussed some secret matters.

Because there are too many little buns living in the east room, they only discuss matters in the west room now, so Lian Er took over a room here.Baoyu knew that this guy's ulterior motives were not in drinking. Who made the East House a monk's house now?Uh, not all monks, the maids will go to clean up, and Jiahuan's eldest maid, Caiyun, is always there.Caiyun was given to Jia Huan after Chunyan was beaten to death by Jia Amnesty, and Mrs. Wang followed Aunt Zhao's wishes in anger.But at night, Caiyun lives in the Westinghouse, and Baoyu finds it inconvenient because there are only one kid in the room.

In any case, Westinghouse is the land of Yingyingyanyan.A certain one didn't want to accept the house, after hesitating for a while, he opened his eyes and closed his eyes and let Lian's second pair of maids to grind their kung fu.Anyway, Lian Er is not the overlord who pushes hard, if the maids don't have the intention to climb ~ into the men's bed, he can't get it.In order to prevent the outside world from being easy to talk about, he also got a room here himself.

Suddenly Jia Cong rushed over with Shuang Rui, and Lian Er saw his elder brother put on airs: "What are you doing like a frozen cat?"

Jia Cong pushed Shuangrui nervously: "Tell my second brother and Bao second brother, what did you see!"

Shuangrui didn't see it, but heard it.At that time, Jia Cong was studying books in the house, and Shuang Duan and Shuang Shou were cooking supper in the small kitchen, when they heard Jia Huan's screams coming from the big room where the three young masters shared.They didn't dare to knock on the door, because Jia Jun's two companions, who were strong enough to serve as long-term followers, guarded the door.I looked for Caiyun but couldn't see it, nor did I see Qin Zhong and his young servant Saohua Tiaoyun, Jia Lan and his young servant Companion Crane, so I told Jia Cong.

Baoyu didn't think of the case of the five ghosts for a while, thinking that those few were bullying Jia Huan, so he grabbed Lian Er and said, "Don't worry about it, it's just children making trouble. I can't help but say that they will have a meal. As soon as you come forward, beat them all." palm board."

In the past, Lian Er was more concerned than less. Now that the Rong Mansion has the hope of getting rid of the crime, the future patriarch has a great sense of responsibility, and his eyes are round: "This is called a child making trouble? Huan third brother is a bastard, and he is also Lan Erjun'er." Elder! You have spoiled them too much! Now I have punished them heavily, but I can still cover up the matter. If there is trouble outside in the future, they still want to get into the imperial examination?"

When Baoyu thought about it, it was the reason, and if he committed a crime, he was the first class in ancient times to destroy people and have a bad reputation.So he ordered Si Ya and hoe medicine Mo Yu to watch the door closely, and went there with Mingyan to sweep the red, while Lian Er brought his fist and foot servant Ming Long Ming Xing.

A group of men arrived in a turbulent manner, and they were panicked by picking up the mountain and cutting the wind, but they greeted each other with a loud voice.Lian didn't look at them, and shook his chin at Minglong, the servant kicked up and smashed the door of the big house.

Good guy, Jia Huan was tied up like a scorpion, and his mouth was gagged with a rag.Caiyun hung on the beam of the house, the blood was stained all over, because her mouth was blocked and she couldn't make a sound, her body twitched.

Baoyu felt that something was wrong, the steamed stuffed buns he had brought could not be free to play with the maids, and when Jia Huan saw them, instead of showing joy of being rescued, he seemed very frightened.A certain case deep in his memory came to mind, he grabbed Lian Er, who was about to rush over to beat up his nephew, and said in a low voice, "Calm down! Jun'er, tell me, what happened?"

It wasn't Jia Jun who answered, Qin Zhong explained how he stared at Jia Huan and how he found the nightmare, and presented the crime with his hands.

"Nightmare ghosts" are a big taboo in wealthy families. Lian Er's forehead was throbbing with veins. He had no feelings for Jia Huan, so he didn't reprimand him. Get on your knees!"

The two buns covered their heads in anger at first, and after they grabbed Jia Huan and punched him twice, they remembered that they were elders, and turned to Caiyun.When the door was kicked open, Jia Lan was so frightened that he had no future and fell to the ground, so Baoyu asked Jia Zhu to answer.At this moment, Lian Er made a gloomy sound, how dare the two of them disobey each other, and knelt down side by side with their heads together.

Lian Er snorted coldly, and ordered Ming Long and Ming Xing to play ten boards each with Ban He, Tiao Shan and Jue Feng.There is no penalty for sweeping flowers and picking flowers. This is a relative's servant, and he can't control it.Although the ancestor of Jia Jun separated from the family, he is a close branch of Rongfu, and he has the right to manage it.

There is no board in Baoyu's building, and the fierce servants have their own methods. Minglong swipes a knife and hacks the dead door to use it as a board, and Mingxing strips off the robes and trousers of the three unlucky servants.The fierce guy is very experienced, and when he falls on the board, his skin will be bruised, but he will not hurt his muscles and bones.After the ten boards were played, the three of them could still get up tremblingly, and their poor buttocks were covered with blood.

Lian Er calmed down a bit, and snorted coldly: "Lan'er, Jun'er, no matter what he does, he will still be your elder. When encountering such a thing, tell me, the elder, or even the patriarch, but no You have been sentenced to lynching! You took off your robes and trousers, and went over to get ten boards, will you not accept it?!"

How dare the two son-in-law buns refuse to accept it, saying "Second Uncle Xie Lian is kind", obediently took off their robes and trousers.

Baoyu couldn't bear it, raised his hand and said, "It's because I didn't teach them well that they made such a big mistake. My crime is unforgivable, and I should be punished even more. It's just... second brother Lian, let me take a step to speak."

Lian Er was very dissatisfied. Seeing Baoyu killing a chicken and wiping his neck to wink, he reluctantly followed him into the other room, humming: "Do you think they can escape the board? Could it be that the elder ordered to hit fifty boards?"

He must have been seriously injured!Baoyu laughed: "It's not for the board, it depends on what you mean, do you want to open the ancestral hall?"

Lian Er squinted at him: "Could it be that you want to hide it for Jia Huan? First, you can't hide it. Qin Zhong caught it. We can't lower the price in front of relatives. Second, you shouldn't hide it. You always say I can't." Look at people, let me tell you, Jia Huan is not familiar with it. Don’t think that he is just holding his breath and messing around. At this age, he will draw little ghosts and nightmares. What will he do when he grows up? If you don’t know the way, what should you do No matter what, he should be expelled from the clan, that is his own sin."

The author has something to say: Detective Qin: Good boy Huan, what are you doing sneaking around?
