Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 87: Talking About Marriage: The Xia Clan Eats Vegetarianism and Recites Buddha

Jia Rui is not a decisive person. When Baoyu asked him how to deal with his daughter-in-law, his first reaction was to ask his grandfather!

Fortunately, Baoyu didn't expect too much from him, and only advised him not to rely on his wife's dowry, saying that the family school would reserve a place for him.Jia Rui was so moved that his eyes were full of tears, and he complained that he was miserable in the official school, and that it was his grandfather who forced him to study.

Baoyu knew that with his personality it would be difficult to get mixed up in the official school, but he couldn't persuade Jia Dairu, who was looking at Sun Chenglong, and he had to rush to Brother Zhang's house to take etiquette lessons before half past you (six o'clock in the evening), so he could only comfort him with empty words One or two will end.

Probably in a bad mood, he didn't perform well in class today, and was severely reprimanded by the black-faced brother.

Returning to the school with an even worse mood, as soon as he entered the teacher's room, he sadly saw Jialan Jiajun, Jia Cong, Qin Zhong, Liu Xianglian sitting in a row, and he couldn't help smiling wryly.After a long time, he had already reflected on it. He vaguely thought of inertia. It doesn't matter whether he has Jia Rui as a helper today. Could it be that Jia Lan and Jia Zhu will ignore the family school like Jia Rui after high school?There will only be more and more helpers.On the contrary, it would be a bit troublesome for Jia Rui to return home to school. With his personality, he dared to let him inherit his grandfather's position as school teacher?

Liu Xianglian's expression was serious: "We discussed this matter just now, at least the second master and the second wife must be informed about this matter, and Counselor Jia must also be informed. Jia Sshu is old, if he wants to be vague, one day his old man will go, Rui Master can't hold Xia Shi down, and if he really commits a massacre, the empress will be ashamed."

Baoyu was slightly startled. He had always been afraid that the Jia family would harm others. He had never thought that the Jia family would be harmed by others, but Xia Jingui's case, although Jia Dairu and his wife were greedy for money, they were also deceived. Character, I would not dare to borrow their guts.It's annoyed that this is a patriarchal society. If something happens, not only their family will suffer, but the whole family will suffer.

Jia Jun said solemnly: "A merchant dares to bring this kind of aunt to our house, who gave them the courage?"

Jia Lan gritted her teeth: "Meng Zuozhougui's sister is their daughter-in-law, but she gave us a poisonous woman, it's too hateful!"

Don't make a fuss about it!Baoyu hurriedly extinguished the fire: "The Xia family made a mistake, but it was the Xia family's mother who was the distant niece of Confucian grandma, who made the marriage. The Xia family had told her that this daughter was obsessed with her father, her mother, and her husband. The school said, "You don't talk about strange powers and chaos." Confucian grandma felt sorry for Xia's loneliness, so she married her. Either I will tell my wife tomorrow, and the third brother Cong will tell the second brother Lian, and the master will be spared. , He has never heard of such insidiousness, so it doesn't have to upset him."

Qin Zhong laughed and said: "Second Master is a gentleman, so don't bother him. It's just that Master Liu has never seen anything, and now he's a family member. Shouldn't he know some secrets?"

Jia Huan?Baoyu beat his heart, he was afraid that Tanchun's marriage would go wrong, and Jia Huan's matter would be kept secret, but Qin Zhong would say such things to his face!What's even more annoying is that Jia Lan Jia Zhu and Jia Cong nod their heads frequently, it seems that the four little ones have discussed it!

Liu Xianglian glanced at him sideways: "I think I should know, but you think you should keep it from me, what kind of brother's business is it? It's not me talking about you, the matter of Master Rui's family, anyone will deal with it Better than you! If you don't invite grandma Zhen and grandma Lian to the Sishu's house to "talk together", the Xia family may not come up with arsenic. She just wants to trample her husband, grandma and grandpa under her feet, a shrew like Xiangye What's more, when you give birth to a child, you may not be as loud as you are now, yelling that jade and stone will be burned."

Baoyu looked at him with admiration. How could such a transparent person be made a monk by a Third Sister You?He grinned at the moment: "I was wrong. I never thought that she would not even give face to the patriarch's wife. As for hiding the matter from you, it seems to me like a child's trick, but they think it is not so serious. It is my third brother , put dirty things on my couch, trying to scare me..."

Lan, Jun, and Zhong had bulging eyes, and Jia Cong hung his head, unable to see his expression clearly, and pinched the edge of the kang with both hands.

Baoyu stared, and said sharply, "How did uncle teach you? Jia Huan made a mistake. I, Lian's second brother, and Cong's third brother could beat him up. You have to bear it even if you are so angry! I said that you are not allowed to mention that matter again, you are not allowed to mention a single word, but you have to translate it! Remember to me, it is a skill to turn a big matter into a small one, and it is called dizzy to turn a trivial matter into a disaster like I am doing today!"

Liu Xianglian thought that Jia Huan put a toad or something on the bed. Although he was a bit naughty, there was no way the boy would not be naughty, and he himself used cockroaches to scare his dead mother.

Thinking of this, he was sad for a while, and quickly covered it with a smile: "Don't be so vicious, it's wrong to fight for you? Okay, it's getting late, we all go to rest, I guarantee that he will not be able to give Baoyu a dark loss."

The four little ones left with their mouths pouted, Baoyu couldn't avoid Liu Xianglian's careful questioning about Jia Huan, and asked him first how his equipment was prepared.

Kao Wuju's armor alone was very expensive. Baoyu knew how arrogant a man's self-esteem is, so he didn't directly pay for Liu Xianglian's equipment, but gave him an annual salary that could be withdrawn in advance. Only a few pockets are left, and the rest is invested in shops that earn quick money. After the end of the year, and then withdrawing this year's bonus in advance, it is enough for his whole body.

There is no warrior who doesn't like equipment. Liu Xiashi quacked Baoyu's equipment experience and made him want to yawn. That night, he had a nightmare of weapons flying all over the sky.

The next day, Baoyu told Mrs. Wang what happened to Jia Rui's family.Mrs. Wang was frightened, and told him not to worry about it, saying that such a thing could not be shaken off.

Baoyu nodded to be taught, and turned to talk about the redemption of the attacker.It is said that although the identity deed of Xiren is in the hands of Jiamu, she must not let it go around Mrs. Wang, or she will be in bad luck.

Mrs. Wang said no, she has accepted the attacker as her confidant, how can she promise him to redeem her body?

Baoyu sighed: "The madam will definitely reward Sister Jin Xun'er to my son. Sister Xiren is the first one I need by my side. The old lady's meaning is clear. Add another Qingwen. If she doesn't leave, Jin Where is Sister Xun'er going?"

This time, Mrs. Wang sighed: the old lady rewarded Tongfang with a higher status than her, Qingwen has no brains, Jin Xun'er can push her aside, but Xiren is different, all four corners are full of people. I can't find a single fault, but no matter how good she is, how can she be as good as Jin Xun'er, whom I cultivated with all my hands and feet?Vaguely can only be dismissed.

Jia's mother is much wider than Mrs. Wang, and she didn't stumble at all.In her opinion, all men are lustful, and it is reasonable for Baoyu not to want to marry someone.With Xiren's ordinary appearance, if he is matched with a boy in the mansion, I am afraid that there will be no top-notch ones to ask for it.If he serves his master so hard, the Hua family is willing to redeem him, so it is better to let him go with grace.

A few days later, Lian Er personally came to inform Baoyu of Xia Jingui's treatment: Jia Xia is an in-law and cannot be broken up because of a poor woman.It just so happened that Confucian grandma was ill with anger, and Xia Jingui "repented so much that she asked to go to the Thanksgiving Temple to pray for her grandma."

The fake stone has bulging eyes. Isn't this Thanksgiving Temple the temple where Wu Zetian became a monk?

Upon questioning, it is true that the place where the nuns stayed is called the Nunnery, but the Thanksgiving Temple has not been renamed for thousands of years.However, the empress and concubine of this dynasty became a monk without the death of the emperor, and now what is at stake here is an imperial order that commits a crime and is inconvenient to deal with.Xia Jingui is a talented lady, because she is the great-grandson daughter-in-law of the Duke of the State and the cousin-in-law of the empress, so she spent 26 taels of silver to send it in.This Yinxia family came from, and Xia Jingui's dowry was left to the good concubine who would treat her as his aunt in the future.The choice of good concubine has been decided, she is the daughter of a side branch of the Xia family, she is fourteen years old.Concubines don't pay much attention, February [-] is an auspicious day, and wine is carried across the door.

Baoyu couldn't help asking about Baochan, the brave maidservant who exposed the mistress, and Lian Er grinned: "The mistress eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha, so the maid should serve her with her! The girls of the Xia family, our old Jia family is afraid, Xiao Xia's Passing through the door, only servants of the Xia family can't do it, the second wife ordered Caiyun to take two wives to serve the little Xia family."

"What?!" Baoyu scratched his finger, Caiyun's injury is still not healed, is it?Well, it's time to go back to serve Jia Huan.

Lian Er said in a low voice: "The second wife is afraid that Caiyun's injury is attributed to the third brother Huan. It is also because he is not frugal. He helped Aunt Zhao beat the little girl in the house in the first month of the lunar year, and it happened to be seen by the second wife. Listen. Sister Feng said that Caiyun herself didn’t want to go back. Chunyan died tragically before, she herself was imprisoned later, and Xiao Queer was kicked by Huan’s third brother until she vomited blood. But who would spare their lives if they have brains? How about Ruidi’s family? [-] taels of silver, with Caiyun's beauty and methods, it's not difficult to be an aunt."

Baoyu smiles bitterly, it can be predicted that Jia Rui's future life will not be smooth.It's just that you don't have to worry about others, and your own stable life won't last long!

Flash forward to February 26, Baoyu didn't want to care about Jia Rui's mess anymore, excused "feeling a cold", and didn't go to the concubinage banquet, and only asked Li Gui and Wang Rong to send a generous gift. Because of the entangled relatives, I have to ask someone to wish Caiyun to be an aunt.

At the end of the month, Zhang Mingtong gave Baoyu a big vacation, and asked him to concentrate on accompanying his two nephews to the government examination.It is said that Zhang Tiancai's road to the imperial examination has also been tried in the government, the reason is similar to that of Jia Lan, who makes April prone to illness.

But Baoyu couldn't fully concentrate: March [-]st was Mrs. Wang's birthday, and even Jia Lan had to go to a family banquet for dinner.

Mrs. Wang's birthday banquet was naturally held in the second-bedroom courtyard, not the whole birthday, and the successors and grandchildren had to take the government exams, no outside guests were invited, and no theater troupe was invited, just the masters of the Ningrong Second Mansion gathered for dinner.

The Mingyans grew taller, and Baoyu didn't bring them with them, so they only called Caixia, who had been Mrs. Wang's second-class maid, from the kitchen garden, and Qingwen Qianxue from Baoxia, so that he and Jialan Jiacong had a good relationship. A ten-year-old girl is a servant, and she is basically decent.Jia Huan was not at home school to learn bow and horse in the afternoon, and Aunt Zhao had two maids, Que'er Jixiang, in the house during the New Year's Eve, so there was no need to think about him.

The family school ended at four o'clock, and the three of them arrived quite early. Baoyu presented a bunch of skin care products for middle-aged women, including a piece of high-quality wild ginseng from Liu Xianglian.This ginseng was dug up by a farmer in a secret village in the north of Shuntian Mansion. Lian Er gave it to Liu Xianglian as a favor, asking him to honor his aunt, and change hands to honor his future mother-in-law if he is not filial to his nephew.

Mrs. Wang saw what a wonderful thing, so she didn't look at the gift carefully.She seemed to be in a bad mood, so she casually said something appropriate to the occasion, saying that the winter jasmine was blooming, and sent Baoyu to take Jialan Jiacong to the courtyard.

The second-bedroom courtyard, like Hemerocallis courtyard, is an old courtyard from the Duke’s era. It has beautiful curved corridors, towers, pavilions, scenery, stones, rockery, and green pools. But Baoyu and Jia Lan are not too familiar with it, and Jia Cong is not interested in it, but He was not the same as the East Courtyard, so he took out the wooden spinner from his pocket and yelled at the competition to draw the spinner.

Baoyu was not interested, so she let him play with Jia Lan—Jin Xun'er was not there when she kowtowed to Mrs. Wang just now.Yu Xun'er is only ten years old, so she won't be sent out to treat guests by Mrs. Wang, and Jin Xun'er will still be kicked out, right?Without Shenying's waiter doing evil, what would happen to Jin Xun'er?

He walked a few steps towards the open place, and looked back at Qianxue who was accompanying him.

Qianxue hurried forward, Baoyu said in a low voice, "Go and find out why Yu Xun'er is not here."

Qianxue was slightly startled, and lowered her head to answer the sound of mosquitoes: "Today, when my wife is taking a break at noon, Jin Xun'er's sister and Mr. Huan... Many people saw that the wife drove her home, and Yu Xun'er must be accompanying her. She. My wife has issued a ban on this matter, so I don't care about it."

Baoyu's eyes were almost bulging—Jin Xun'er and Jia Huan, many people saw that the password ban is useful!The people's favorite scandal and gossip, I'm afraid no one in the whole family knows about it!Liu Xianglian always thought that the second wife was clean, but when this scandal got to his ears, Tanchun's marriage might cause trouble!At this moment, he wished he could tear Jia Huan apart!No, I tore myself!I have known for a long time that avoidance is useless, and when I know that Jia Huan and Zhizhi are not clear, I should be ruthless, but I pointed at Mrs. Wang to block the gang of nuns~prostitutes in Shuiyue Temple!Find a piece of tofu and kill him!

Dazed for two seconds, he turned his head and left: The most important thing now is not to let Jin Xun'er commit suicide, and spread the word inside and outside the Mansion!

Qingwen was assigned to serve Jia Lan, but she was very unhappy and dared not reveal it, keeping one eye on this side from time to time.

Seeing Qianxue say a few words in embarrassment and Baoyu's face changed drastically, she guessed exactly what was going on, and chased after Baoyu like a gust of wind, grabbed Baoyu's sleeve and said, "Where is Second Lord going? Sir, they are coming."

Baoyu looked at her dumbly, seeing her eyes flickering to relieve hatred and disgust, Wuming got angry, and said lightly: "You came just in time, Qianxue and Caixia are both born in a family, and the relationship behind it is too complicated. You go to Bai's house and tell Sister Jin Xun'er, I know she has been wronged, so I won't ignore her."

Qingwen blurted out: "Injustice? So many people saw it! That cheap hoof..."

Baoyu interrupted: "It's ridiculous! What you see is true? Ask yourself, do you believe it?"
