Red Mansions Counterattack Raiders

Jia Baoyu turned the old house into his own territory. After studying, he began to check the account books of all the shops and farms of the Jia family in Jinling. He only told Zhou Rui that he should start learning these things when he grew up. Not uncommon.

This reason is too legitimate to be refuted!Now as long as Jia Baoyu uses the excuse of becoming an official in the future, his family and servants will fully support him, hoping that the next generation of Jia's family can support the family.So Zhou Rui followed Jia Baoyu's side to assist him with all his strength, and whenever Jia Baoyu had any questions, he knew everything and said everything!Jia Baoyu pretended to learn from him for a while, and then began to reorganize the shop drastically, and the farm rented out was also reduced. "The extravagant and wealthy people turned into good people who accumulate virtue and do good deeds!"

Zhou Rui would often write to Mrs. Wang to report what happened in Jinling. Mrs. Wang didn't take Jinling's property seriously. Over the years, the money sent by Jinling was getting less and less. In addition, she is very willing to see her son make progress, whether it is studying or being interested in Zhuangzi and shops, as long as it is not Rouge and maids, she is grateful to God, and naturally tells Zhou Ruiquan to follow Jia Baoyu's orders.

Jia Baoyu began to train his confidantes to replace the shopkeepers of the loss-making shops. After comparing the new accounts with the old accounts, he could immediately detect the falsehoods of the past. Manager Jia and those shopkeepers greedily took most of the profits in private and handed them over to the owner of the capital. The less, they just say that the year is not good or the management is not good. In fact, they have all bought houses and land and become rich!

Zhou Rui gritted his teeth angrily, and at the same time he became more and more convinced of Jia Baoyu. He could see clearly in Jia's house all these years that the other masters were all useless, and Mrs. Wang was old. Jia Baoyu, if he can gain Jia Baoyu's trust, the whole family will not have to worry about it in the future. Since then, he has become more attentive in handling things, which can be regarded as helping Jia Baoyu a lot.As for the shopkeepers and village bosses who committed crimes, they were all tied up and sent to officials. Half of the property recovered from the house raids was used to do good deeds, and the Jia family's reputation in Jinling suddenly became bigger.

Mother Jia, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang were all shocked when they got the letter. They never expected that those trusted slaves would be so bold in private. The half of the belongings left behind is enough to spend the entire Jia Mansion for two or three years!And after Jia Baoyu's county examination, government examination, and hospital examination successively won the first place in the scholar, they were even more proud, and the whole family celebrated. Jia Zheng was proud for the first time in so many years , all day with a smile on his face, he went out to have tea parties with his colleagues, and accidentally gained a lot of contacts.

Lin Ruhai became more and more satisfied with Jia Baoyu when he heard the news from his confidants. Jia Baoyu still had to continue the exam and had no time to visit the Lin residence. He only wrote letters to Lin Ruhai and Lin Daiyu every month, and put them in the same envelope. It depends entirely on Lin Ruhai to make decisions.In addition, many hard-earned treasures were sent, all of which were sent to the Lin Mansion by the two nurses around Jia Baoyu in turn, which could not only ensure that no one else would know what to say, but also allow the nurses to report Jia Baoyu's situation to Lin Ruhai in person. .

Lin Ruhai looked at the big box sent by his confidant, opened the thick letter in his hand, took out a thin piece of paper written for him and shook his head helplessly, "Every time this kid just these few words of greeting and care, with Giving me a single copy is really perfunctory!"

After reading the letter, Lin Ruhai laughed, "This kid got the Qiuwei examination? He's still the first one! Hahaha, not bad! Not bad!"

The nurse bowed his head respectfully, and replied pointedly: "Master, Mr. Jia is really smart. He only spends an hour a day reading and practicing calligraphy, and he can get the first place in the exam. It will be very good to be the number one in the future." Possibly. Besides, Mr. Jia sent someone back to the capital to secretly buy property without letting Jia’s house know. Now even if he leaves Jia’s house, he can take charge of his own affairs and will not be controlled by Jia’s house at all.”

Lin Ruhai's smile became more obvious when he heard the words. What he cared most all the time was that the Jia family had treated Daiyu badly before, making Daiyu feel a little worried about marrying her.But now that Jia Baoyu is fully capable of protecting Daiyu, he feels relieved.During this period of time, he secretly watched a dozen or so young talents. After observing for a long time, none of those people could compare with Jia Baoyu, regardless of their ability to handle affairs or their achievements in the imperial examination. Lin Ruhai smiled as he saw a box of strange things in front of him , took out the buttoned letter and raised a voice to call the boy, "Go, send this and all those boxes in the former library to the young lady's yard!"

The nursing home took a step back and stood to the side, knowing that the master agreed to the marriage between Young Master Jia and Miss, he was relieved.I have been with Young Master Jia for so long, seeing his character and missing Miss, I have already thought that he would be Miss's beloved, but now even the master has let go, presumably after Mr. Jia passed the palace examination, even if he did not win the first prize You can also discuss marriage.Being able to become a family is the best thing for their servants who are like spies!

Lin Ruhai took the orphan copy he received this time and opened it carefully. On the bookshelf behind him, there was a single row dedicated to the orphan copy sent by Jia Baoyu. Now there are six or seven copies on it, although he said Jia Baoyu was perfunctory, but Lin Ruhai knew how difficult it was to find so many unique copies, so he was quite satisfied with Jia Baoyu's filial piety.

Jia Baoyu had already returned to Jingcheng at this time, and after traveling around for so long, he inevitably became darker and thinner. When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang saw him, they couldn't help crying, and they kept talking about his suffering outside. All the happy events he raised were forgotten, and even Jia Zheng looked at him worriedly.Seeing them like this, Jia Baoyu felt warm in his heart, and while comforting them, he called Mingyan to bring up the presents he had brought back.

He sent things to the Lin family every month, and at the same time he kept a lot of family favorites back to Beijing, even Jia Huan and Jia Cong.Mother Jia and others all shed tears when they saw him, and praised him for being grown up and sensible.For the first time, Jia Zheng didn't reprimand Jia Baoyu in a preaching tone, but just told him to study hard and prepare for the final spring and palace examinations.Jia Amnesty's family felt uncomfortable being around, but they didn't dare to say harsh words in front of the old lady, just a few words of congratulations.Jia Baoyu was surprised by the appearance of Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai.

A group of people asked about Jia Baoyu's life outside, and they didn't let him go back to his room until after dinner.At this moment, Mingyan has inquired a lot of information. It turns out that although Xue Pan missed the opportunity to meet Xiangling, he still injured someone, and severely injured someone for an oiran.The other party has some background, Aunt Xue couldn't hold back the money, so she had to write to Mrs. Wang for help. Mrs. Wang knew that Jia Baoyu attached great importance to reputation now, and she didn't want to leave any clues about other people's affairs, so she pushed the matter to the prince again. Teng.

Wang Ziteng did some activities to comfort the injured, ordered Aunt Xue to go to Beijing, and then directly threw Xue Pan into his barracks to hone.Wang Ziteng was not in the capital, Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai lived in Lixiangyuan, and Mrs. Wang took Baochai to show her face in front of the ladies in Beijing from time to time.

Mrs. Wang was very happy that Jia Baoyu was promising, but at the same time, she also felt that her son was alienated from her. Now she only had such a biological son, how could she allow this to happen?Immediately, he thought of a way to let his son marry Baochai. Baochai is her niece, and she is basically from the same family. In the future, she will definitely trap her son with her, so she mentioned it in Aunt Xue's ear from time to time.

When Jia Baoyu was in the mansion one day and heard the servants talking about a good marriage, he immediately grabbed the two slanderous servants indifferently, found a reason to sell them, and let the whole mansion see his attitude.Then I went directly to see Jia Mu, and happened to meet Jia Zheng who came out of the yamen and greeted Jia Mu.

Jia Baoyu bowed to the two of them first, and when Mother Jia called him over, he didn't move. Instead, he knelt down on the ground very solemnly, and said seriously: "Old ancestor, master, aunt and cousin Xue's family are relatives, and they live in the house. It's nothing at all, but the servants are talking about my cousin Xue and I getting engaged soon, we will become husband and wife in the future! My aunt lives in the mansion because she sees us getting close, and the servants in the mansion dare to criticize Cousin Xue for ruining her reputation, how can this be done? I have taught those two people a lesson and sold them, and our house should also be rectified, and such rumors must not be spread out of our mouths anymore!"

"What? There are such rumors?" Jia's mother was startled, and seeing Jia Baoyu still kneeling on the ground, she couldn't help being puzzled, "Baoyu, you did the right thing! Get up quickly, the ground is cold, You little man can't stand it!"

Jia Zheng also nodded beside him and said, "Get up quickly, you did nothing wrong, I will turn around and tell your mother, these servants are really lawless."

Jia Baoyu kowtowed, showing his seriousness, "Baoyu knelt here today to ask for something from his ancestors and father. Baoyu is happy with cousin Lin, and he only wants to marry cousin Lin in this life!"

Mother Jia was startled for a moment, and then smiled gratifiedly, "What else should I do? You and Yu'er are both good, and we grew up together. The old ancestors will decide for you!" After the mother finished speaking, she looked at Jia Zheng, "Do you see Zheng'er?"

When Jia Zheng came back to his senses, he didn't have any special reaction, "Mother decides, Lin girl is indeed a good one."

Jia Baoyu took the opportunity to tell about the fact that he had given the jade pendant to Lin Daiyu to wear, "I met a monk and a Taoist on the way during this trip. Weakness and insufficiency. I originally just felt sorry for Cousin Lin’s suffering, so I borrowed the jade pendant to give her a try, but it was really effective. Now Cousin Lin no longer coughs and chills, and she will be completely cured in time, and this time I don't feel uncomfortable when the jade pendant is away, it seems that what the monk said is the truth."

"You child! You are so courageous!" Jia's mother was in a hurry, and she stepped forward to pull Jia Baoyu up and down to look him up and down, frowning and blamed, "You really don't feel wrong? How can you listen to outsiders at will? One, what kind of pros and cons do you have, how do you let the ancestors live... Bah, look at what I'm talking about! It's just that you have grown up, and you are so ignorant!"

Jia Baoyu smiled, "Old Ancestor, it's been a while since I've been back, you've seen it all, I'm fine. Do you still remember that when Cousin Lin was three years old, there was a monk who wanted to make her a monk together? Maybe what I met was that year Those two strange people, the jade pendant that was born with me can cure Cousin Lin, which also shows that we are indeed destined."

Jiamu looked at him fixedly, shook her head and smiled, "Forget it, the two of you are more compatible."

"Old Ancestor, I have to trouble you to write to Uncle Lin to discuss the marriage. People like Cousin Lin must have many people coming to ask for marriage. If you miss it, Baoyu will regret it for the rest of your life! Ancestor, Aunt is your most beloved Daughter, now that she's gone, we must take good care of Cousin Lin, so that my aunt's spirit in heaven can feel relieved."

Jia's mother was in favor of this marriage, but now hearing him mention his daughter who died young, her heart softened, and she immediately promised to discuss the marriage with Lin Ruhai very seriously.Jia Zheng didn't say much, he didn't care about jade pendants as much as Jia's mother and the others, and he didn't care who his son married. Seeing that Jia's mother agreed, he naturally said nothing.

But when Mrs. Wang heard about it from Jia Zheng, she felt like a bolt from the blue!That woman Jia Min used to despise her because she knew a few sour poems when she was not out of the cabinet, but now she wants Jia Min's daughter to be her daughter-in-law, it is absolutely impossible!
