Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Baoyu can't help his wives and grandmas, they are sure about Liu children's shoes, so I won't go into details.

Mrs. Wang at the other end also knew what was going on, not to mention the report from her servants, Liu Xianglian's aunt also came.

Aunt Liu was just the wife of a petty official, and she was not considered a high-ranking official by Mr. Hou's sons. She would not say a certain grandma's maiden name when they greeted guests and rolled their names. Even Mrs. Wu Xun didn't know that she was Liu Xianglian's aunt. Talking outspokenly made her angry!Madam Wang has children and grandchildren, at least she doesn't want to recruit a son-in-law.After looking at her again, she was very satisfied with Tanchun's appearance. Considering her nephew's family background had no real property, her ancestors had accumulated a lot of virtue to find such a daughter-in-law!So very positive.

Mrs. Wang also worked hard on Mr. Zheng, claiming that Liu Xianglian was both civil and military, and a late bloomer. Otherwise, how could she have a good relationship with Baoyu?Don't they all say that "things of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups"?This kind of talent has already been targeted by some sharp-eyed wives, and it can't be delayed any longer. Waiting for Liu Xianglian to get a degree in the exam before getting married is not as good as it is now.

Mr. Zheng finally nodded, because he had been with Liu Xianglian in Shangqingxuguan.Liu's mother didn't want her son to practice martial arts, so when Xianglian was young, she forced him to recite the Four Books and Five Classics.Although he put it aside later and stayed in Jia's private school for half a year, in order to have more common language with the children's shoes, he picked up those few books again.

In this way, the two families exchanged birthday characters before the first lunar month, which is considered a small decision.This matter is quite out of the ordinary, Brother Yu's phrase "Wumen is not particular" can be exposed, but Tanchun was raised in front of the old lady, and he didn't even say hello!

Mrs. Wang didn't care, she was annoyed, thinking that two Mrs. Hou would be able to pressure her to ask Daiyu to be her daughter-in-law?Baoyu is still the younger brother of the empress, and the marriage of Baoyu requires the nod of the empress!This matter is not in a hurry, although Lin Daiyu is the only daughter of the Lin family and does not need to participate in the draft, but she will be a filial piety next year.Hmph, let's book Tanchun's marriage first, so that you will know that the second wife is not at the mercy of others!

You said Mr. Zheng never thought that he should tell Mrs. Jia?Isn't Tanchun a concubine? The concubine's marriage has always been decided by the aunt. Of course, he, the father, needs to nod.In addition, Liu Xianglian went to the old lady's yard to sing operas. He thought that Mrs. Wang had already gotten along with Jia Mu.In short, he didn't care much about the little concubine's marriage. He only regretted that he didn't find a ready-made Confucian scholar. In his opinion, a poor scholar could still do it if he couldn't find a son.

Baoyu was so excited to get the letter that she didn't even think about telling Jia's mother, but only wanted to have a good talk with her sister.Originally, Mrs. Wang should have informed the concubine about this matter, but she was transparent and handed over the matter to Baoyu, so that the concubine must remember her brotherly love.

Where to talk is a bit troublesome, Baoyu is inconvenient to enter Xiaoguanzhuang, and the yards of Mrs. Wang and Jiamu are too complicated.In this way, it was not until Zhang Mingtong returned to the Guozijian to attend classes in early February that he got the opportunity: a certain cat didn’t have to go to Zhang’s mansion during the day, but Tanchun had to greet Mrs. Wang every morning, and took advantage of this time to ask her for advice and drag her to Baoxia. .

At that time, Li Wan and Baochai were also there.Baoyu's heart moved, and she felt that Baochai's appearance and appearance were quite suitable for Senior Brother Zhang - look, they both have round faces and serious faces.

Zhang Mingtong is 21 years old and hasn't married yet. The Zhang family's family style is so strict, and there is a reason why his parents and elder brothers are so tolerant.He is the youngest son. Unfortunately, when P was older, his grandfather passed away. No one cared about his excitement at first, so he betrothed his youngest son.There is a good thing about this, the little girl did not grow up as expected.Because the in-laws are classmates of Zhang's father who are very good friends, they also order their concubine's daughter.This time, Zhang's mother was cautious and insisted on waiting for the concubine girl and Ji to make a decision.Thanks to this delay, the concubine girl died of illness again.Now the family no longer has a daughter, but a niece.Zhang's mother became angry, and the brothers from her mother's family moved in to have a showdown with Zhang's father, because the family's son was already sick and troubled, and her old son was named as his wife!Zhang Mingtong felt that he had caused discord in his family, so he vowed not to be admitted to Jinshi and not to talk about relatives.

It doesn't matter if the man is older, especially Zhang Mingtong. You must know that the princesses of this dynasty are not close to each other, and they often delay marrying until the seventeenth, eighteenth, or even tenth century: we all know that princesses are difficult to marry, and concubines cannot be officials.The emperor was not happy either.But the choice of son-in-law is related to the face of the royal family, and it can't be bad. Zhang Mingtong's kind is very good. The Zhang family doesn't need him to support the family.Baoyu had heard this a few times during the first lunar month, so he threw away the thought in a flash, just kidding, but if he didn't say it, is he brave enough to lead Senior Brother Zhang's red line?Don't be beaten to death by the black-faced brother!

But it is said that Baoyu led Tanchun's master and servant to Baoxia, and Xiren and others were cleaning the east room routinely, so they entered the west room.

Only Nanny Song stayed in the west room, and Baoyu ordered the maids and women to stay in the hall, and led Tanchun into Xiren's room (the one he occupied was a pretentious one, without a kang or a brazier).

Although they are brothers and sisters, it is not appropriate to do this, but no one dissuades them. Firstly, Baoyu and Tanchun are very strict under the imperial court. Secondly, the atmosphere is delicate today. Mrs. Wang's smile adds a little bit. All the servants are elves. I guess The good news about Tanchun is coming.

Tanchun's nurse had a look of embarrassment on her face. Speaking of Baochai and Jili, she praised Miss Xue for her demeanor, and finally said softly: "It's just that people in the world talk about family status. I look at it coldly. Those wives and grandmas have eyeballs. They are all playing tricks on our brothers and sisters. Too much! How old are our brothers and sisters." Everyone's faces were bright, and who wouldn't be cheap and good-looking?One and two were fighting against the wives and grandmas who had neglected Jiji girl.

A certain dog in the room looked solemn and asked Tanchun what he thought of Yingchun's marriage.

Tanchun was taken aback: "Second sister, is there something wrong? She was fine when I saw you last time."

False Stone shook his head and sighed, analyzing Yingchun's character, saying that unless Wang Xue lived as long as the old lady and married a grandson-in-law as powerful as Sister Feng, Yingchun would not be able to support the family.He also talked about Lian Er's various "helplessness" and had to choose Xue's family for his younger sister.

Tanchun's complexion turned pale, and if he thought about it, could it be that I want to marry a merchant too?Immediately said in a shy voice: "Second brother, the girl's marriage is done by her parents, I'm just a concubine. It's just...just..." Heartbroken, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "It's better to marry a farmer than a merchant!"

Baoyu laughed: "How can the master and wife marry you to a merchant? Your temperament is quite different from that of the second sister. You were born to be the mistress, and your wife has planned a lot for you. There is a big difference between picking a son-in-law and picking a daughter-in-law. Who would like to marry you?" Daughter suppressed? But everyone came here like this, there is no way. If there is a way, the son-in-law is poorer and has the support of his natal family. Talents like you will not have a bad life."

Tanchun blushed, wondering if he was a poor scholar?I'm not afraid of being poor when I was young.

False Stone looked serious: "I shouldn't have said some things, but I'm afraid my wife won't understand, we're still young and we can whisper behind closed doors, but no matter how old we are, why don't we say it together today. The second elder sister was pregnant too early, and she will suffer a lot during her birth. Even if the mother and child are safe, the child's body is also weak. Take a look, Brother Jiang's body is stronger than sister Qiao's, right? Our master's body is stronger than the old master's ? It’s just that people in the world always say, “Get a baby early”, you have to remember, at least until the [-]th or [-]th.”

Tanchun was so ashamed that he hated it seamlessly, and made a rare mosquito sound: "Remember."

A certain one sighed heavily: "Daughters are harder than men, and there are still some things I have to say, the art of controlling husbands..."

Tanchun interrupted: "Didn't you drink wine today? Don't talk nonsense!"

The fake stone slammed the teacup heavily: "Could it be that I misjudged you? The hero of your fan team, the man with the crown is not as good as you, and you dare not listen to a few truths? Listen carefully, you There is no mother-in-law, don’t mess with those annoying housemates, pretend to be virtuous, you don’t have to make trouble for yourself! If you really have to, it seems like you have nothing to do at [-]. Remember, the kind who seems to be waiting for a book has been with you for a long time Yes, it must not be turned into a common room, she knows you too well, BLaBLa..."

Where did a certain one learn the house fighting technique?Heck, he has actual combat experience, and the tragedy of Qin Zhong and his father isn't scary enough?Besides, didn't he look at the same people in the Red Chamber before wearing it, they were all house-fighting, although he didn't look carefully, it was enough to fool a twelve-year-old girl.Tanchun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he thought he was a man with tricks, he couldn't catch up with his second brother even if he flattered him!

A certain dog gave a concluding speech at the end: "Men are M, don't smoke, hit, or tune~ Teaching will never work, but you can't go too far, hit two sweet dates with one stick!"

Tanchun didn't know what M was, so he thought it was a "horse", and made fun of it: "Second brother is going to be an official, when will he be able to pronounce the words clearly? Besides, there are horses that cannot be fed with sweet dates, and they have pits. Could it be possible to dig out the pits and feed them?" It's not a horse, but a pampered sparrow."

A certain one giggled: "That's what it means, anyway, men are not geniuses, so it's enough to pretend that he is."

Tanchun couldn't help but ask with shame, "Who is it and whose family is it?"

Ouch, I forgot the most important thing!Baoyu slapped his head: "What you have seen is the cousin of the Xue family and Liu Xianglian who played the role of martial arts student at the banquet, the Liu family BLaBla..."

Tanchun couldn't hear it anymore, his face was like a cooked shrimp!Liu Xianglian came to the stage with heavy makeup. She didn't know that the boy had a more beautiful face than the girl, but only saw the flexible and mighty majestic figure. The foreigner, wives and grandmothers made a publicity for free. It's the same as recruiting a son-in-law, etc. For a while, I ignored Liu Xianglian's lack of fame and wealth, and only thought that a good son-in-law came from heaven.

When Baoyu saw that it was done, he patted his shoulder vigorously to wake him up, and told him that because he was not engaged, it was inconvenient to place wine, so he only changed his birthday to make a small appointment.Tanchun is already satisfied, his own marriage is actually ranked ahead of the second elder brother, what else is there to say.

A certain croaking daughter’s scripture again, this time it’s Mao Laozu’s “Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky”. When it comes to forgetting her form, she instigates Tanchun to become a strong woman to open a shop and set up a factory, and secretly reveals the trick of putting her name on someone else’s head .This technique was originally a common technique used by wealthy families. Who made it impossible for an official to compete with the people for profit and do business?It's just in the name of his own servant, not like a good citizen.

Tanchun felt that the second brother's idea was not very appropriate, and thought it was his dream: a Confucian scholar who spends his days studying books, can he have the time to run a shop workshop?Even the maid was unruly helped by her for a long time.Of course, she wisely didn't interrupt, just now the second brother said "men should hold it", so he almost said "the second brother should hold it too"!

Finally, someone called from outside, saying that it was almost time for lunch.False Stone stopped with unfinished intentions, and told Tanchun to digest well, got up and went to open the door.

But Tanchun grabbed his sleeve and said in a low voice, "Third Brother Eryue County, shall we try? I think he is still playing."

Baoyu was taken aback, he only remembered that Jialan Jiazhu was going to the examination room, but he didn't remember that there was another concubine brother.Ever since he sent Jia Huan back to Aunt Zhao's side to recuperate, he didn't think much about that boy.In fact, he didn't expose Jia Huan's nightmare tricks, because Jialan Jiazhu's factor was very small, and a fight between the children could be as serious as "offending"?Mainly because of Mr. Zheng and Tanchun, Tanchun couldn't afford to lose face, and at Mr. Zheng's age, there was probably only one Aunt Zhao who fell in love independently.Don't say that Aunt Zhao is vulgar and stupid, if it weren't for that, Mrs. Wang wouldn't be able to tolerate it, and she would have killed her in the early morning.

So he said slowly: "It turned out that he was ill. I was afraid that someone would send him back to the backyard. He is still young, and after a year or two he will understand the truth, and he knows that he has to learn. It will not be too late to pick him up. The eldest brother is also studying in the Fourteenth Party."

Tanchun was silent, with a very sad look on her face. She didn't know the temperament of her biological mother and younger brother. Seeing Jia Huan joking with the maids in the porch, and remembering that Jia Lan was studying hard, she said a few words, but was caught by Aunt Zhao. Choking on the first pass.But how can I be two years older?The maid concubine is not a good concubine, and there is no such thing as parents saying no to separate families. Once they get married, they will send them out to live on their own. The wife will never let Jia Huan be dragged to the old age, and I am afraid that he will leave the house in the fifteenth or sixteenth year!

Baoyu saw that he had guessed eight to nine, and he couldn't bear it. He opened his mouth and said, "I'll ask the master to see if he is in good health."

Tanchun was very grateful and blessed him silently.

A certain one was very emotional, and many colleagues pointed out that Tanchun was too cold-hearted towards his biological mother and younger brother. According to him, there was nothing he could do: it was Mrs. Wang who decided the fate of Tanchun, and even he would not dare to screw Mrs. Wang openly. That's not making yourself uncomfortable.As for the harsh words Tanchun said in the original book, Aunt Zhao ridiculed Tanchun every now and then, she is a fool who cannot afford to rebound.Tong Renwen said that although Aunt Zhao is vulgar, she really loves her children. He really didn't see it. Even Jia Huan who was raised by her side, just because she always instigated Jia Huan to do things that hurt others and benefit oneself, it can be seen that there is something in that "love". How many.Not to mention Tanchun, no matter the original book or what he saw with his own eyes, the concubine who is full of "true love" has never given a good face to her own daughter.

Tanchun was just a little girl who once complained to him angrily.In addition to persuading him, he also told Tanchun not to agree to Aunt Zhao's making clothes and shoes for Jia Huan. Everyone knew that Aunt Zhao's mouth would yell in less than a stick of incense, so there was no need for Mrs. Wang's taboo.

But he said that in the afternoon Fake Stone went to Mr. Zheng's study: it was February [-], and the five or six-year-olds had already returned to their private schools, so Jia Huan couldn't justify not going to school anymore.

Mr. Zheng saw that he didn't come at the time to ask for peace, and he knew that his son had something important to do, so the cleaning guests also said goodbye tactfully.

Baoyu didn't speak out about Jia Huan's going to school, but asked Mr. Zheng how to arrange Jia Huan's county exam.To be honest, it seems inappropriate for him to bring this up on his own initiative, it should be arranged by Mr. Zheng.

Mr. Zheng was stunned for a while, then sighed: "The weather is too cold this year, and your third younger brother's body might not be able to withstand it. He said he wants to learn bow and horse, is it useful?"

The author has something to say: Tanchun: "Second brother, it's all up to you!" A certain one: "What is on Master Bao? Huan boy..."
