The Jade of the Red Chamber

However, it is said that the Xue family's entry to Beijing is a certainty. Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng are looking forward to it, and even Jia Zheng asked twice.

Xue Pan was unhappy at this time. Originally, it was God's will, and his uncle Wang Ziteng went out of the capital. It happened that no one was in charge and could spend as much as he wanted, but his mother insisted on joining his uncle's house. He heard that this uncle The most old-fashioned, I am afraid that life will be difficult in the future...

This time, there is no Jia Yucun's muddle-headed judgment, but the Xue family can't resist the offensive of spending money and money. This time, Ying Tianfu closed the case indiscriminately, and Feng Yuan, who died unjustly, still died in vain. It's just that Ren Yingtian's prefect was not as smooth as Jia Yucun, and he couldn't convince his mouth. The sound, the people in the sun have rumored injustice, which is not as proper as in the original book.

Maybe there is an old man in Xue's house who feels uncomfortable when he hears it, and wants to tell the mistress and uncle to clean it up so as not to cause disasters in the future, but he doesn't want Mrs. Xue to drown her life, so she won't listen and instead scolds others.And that uncle even regarded the life lawsuit as a trifling matter, thinking that spending a few filthy money would be enough.Those people had no choice but to stop, but their hearts had gradually moved away from his family, so that later they either had a second opinion or switched to other concubines of the Xue family.

When they arrived at Jia's house, Mrs. Wang took her daughter-in-law and so on, took them out of the hall, led Jia Mu to meet, and ordered Jia Lian to lead Xue Pan to meet Jia Zheng, Jia Amnesty and others. It was not like the scene when the Lin family brothers and sisters came. When Zhenyu saw it, she smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

When Xue's family offered all kinds of rewards for human kindness and land and objects, the whole family had seen them, and they were busy preparing seats to meet the wind.When the meal was over, Jia Zheng sent someone to come up and say to Mrs. Wang: "My aunt has a long life, and my nephew is young and doesn't know the way of the world. I'm afraid there will be troubles if I live outside. It's good to ask my aunt, sister and brother to live here." .”

Jia's mother also said: "Please stay here, my aunt, and let's be closer."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's the same reason, but I thought that Xuehan Courtyard is very good, the houses are complete, and it's also new..." As she said, she just looked at Lin Zhenyu, and waited for Zhenyu to give up to her elders on her own initiative. , I don't want this jade-like eyes to watch the nose and the heart, just sit and drink tea with a smile, as if she never paid attention to the meaning of her words.Mrs. Wang hated secretly, her fingers clenched tightly, and she was about to speak to him, but she didn't want to be cut off by Jia Mu.

Jia's mother was a little displeased, this Wang family is becoming less and less able to speak, this is what our wives said!There was only a smile on his face and he said: "The Xuehan courtyard is for my two grandchildren, but there is a better one. It was the place where Mr. Rong rested back then. Street, my aunt will live there." Aunt Xue was flattered by what she said, and Mrs. Wang's face also paused.

When the Xue family was alone in Lixiangyuan, thinking of today's situation, Aunt Xue said: "Looking at the appearance of your aunt's house, you are really a noble family, and it is several times stronger than when I was in my mother's house! My son, you are like this!" Talent and appearance, only such aristocratic family can not be humiliated."

Xue Baochai blushed, and said nothing, thinking of what she saw just now, she was shocked and envious, and also thinking that the three sisters of the Jia family were not as good-looking as her in conversation, so she couldn't help but feel a little complacent.

"It's just what I saw today. The Jia family is really rich, and they don't seem to care much about the gifts and earthenware we sent..." Aunt Xue was puzzled. Seeing that Xue's family is rich, it's hard to teach people to look down on him, but Jia's family is indifferent.

In fact, the Xue family is indeed generous, and it is no worse than when the Lin family brothers and sisters came, but the world is like this, with the Lin family's pearls and jades in front, the Xue family's "not bad" is naturally taken for granted. No one in the family has an account in their hearts. If it is said that the Lin family is just a brother and sister visiting relatives to live for a while, but this Xue family is obviously a family that is here to vote, and I am afraid they will live forever. Comparing the two sides, it is natural to look up to the Lin family At a glance, it doesn't mean that Master Lin is now a second-rank official, and he is in charge of the money bag of the Emperor!

After thinking about it, Aunt Xue hurriedly delivered a small box to Mrs. Wang in the evening.

For a moment Mrs. Wang was tired, Caiyun came in and said cautiously: "Madam...there is a report, master... rested in Aunt Zhao's room."

Mrs. Wang clenched the handkerchief tightly with her fingers, her fingertips turned pale, and after a while she said: "Understood, let's go down!" Aunt Zhao's charming girl!

Lying quietly for a while, the blocked heart slowly calmed down. Mrs. Wang thought to herself that the inner house of Jia's mansion has become more and more unstable recently. The old lady always lifts up Sister Feng there. I own it, but Sister Feng is from Dafang's side after all, if I don't keep it all, I will fight against myself someday!It's better to have a close friend to help, this Jia's mansion must be left to Baoyu!

I can't help but think of Jia Mu's usual meaning, that she wants to ration Jia Min's charming daughter to Baoyu!Mrs. Wang hated it deeply, if her elder brother hadn't been promoted to the Nine Provinces, I'm afraid that old man would have made this matter clear regardless of her wishes!

But...seeing Baochai's plump appearance and good character today, a thought arose in her heart. The important thing is that the Xue family is rich, and Xue Pan is useless. By then, the Xue family will not all belong to Baoyu!

As for Xue Baochai's election in Beijing, Mrs. Wang sneered, her Yuan Chun was still in the palace and had finally become the queen's maidservant, how could she let the handsome Baochai in to add trouble!Mrs. Wang's thoughts were mixed, she seemed to see that the entire Jia family was in charge of her for a while, and then she saw that the Lin family and Aunt Zhao and others were all dead, and her heart couldn't help...

Jia Baoyu saw that not only an uncle and sister like a banished fairy came to the family now, but also a second aunt and sister who looked better than Concubine Yang, and even Brother Xue was also good-looking, so he felt satisfied in his heart, and only asked for help. With these sisters every day, nothing else matters.

The only fly in the ointment is that Sister Lin's old wives are very hateful, they are not allowed to enter Sister Lin's house every time, and there are many restrictions on Sister Lin on weekdays, and they are often not asked to play together. The younger sister is weak and pitiful, and she feels pity in her heart, thinking that younger sister Lin just needs him to comfort her.Instead, he brought back most of the thoughts that Chu Jianbao's muscular and shiny sister had drawn away.

If Zhenyu knew what he was thinking, he might not only praise his brain circuits as "brain-dead", but also couldn't help but reward him with two panda glasses to keep him awake.

I don’t remember the days when I’m free, Lin Fuyu has painted red by herself under the guidance of her brother, and the Lin family’s house is almost repaired, but it’s hard to talk about it within a few months after coming here, and Lin Ruhai still has half a year before returning to Beijing, so the brothers and sisters of the Lin family I have to live in Jia's house for a few more days.

After Xue Baochai came here, he felt like a fish in water and went very well.

The three sisters of Jia's family are all docile people, and they know that they can't compare with her in appearance and talent. They often praise and admire her, and she is generous. The three pro-masters, Tanchun and Xichun, are even close behind, and Baoyu is also gentle and considerate.Only Lin Daiyu is on par with her in appearance, talent and learning, but this person raises the nanny very strictly, and he doesn't often joke with them, so he doesn't take it to heart.

On this day, when Xue Baochai returned home, seeing his mother weeping, he hurriedly asked why, but said that the number of small elections had been dismissed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the reason was because of his brother's lawsuit, so he was shocked.

Aunt Xue hurriedly persuaded: "My son, it's because your brother tired you. When he comes back, I will add him to compensate you."

Baochai bowed her head and remained silent, feeling very panicked in her heart. She had always had some ambitions, but now that she saw the Rongguo Mansion, she was thinking that one day a phoenix would be born. Status, but I don’t want to... I think of Lin Daiyu for a while, not only has a father who is an official, but even her elder brother is a young man, and for the first time, I feel envious and jealous of her...

Seeing her daughter's pale face, Aunt Xue couldn't help feeling pity and pain, and coaxed: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to that place. I heard from your aunt that if you go there, you'll be serving others. My son is so pampered and precious, and my mother can't bear you to suffer that!"

With a flash of light in his eyes, he smiled and said, "Although it's a pity, what I mean when I look at your aunt's words today is very good. How do you look at Baoyu? This Rongguo Mansion will belong to him in the future. , I think he is very considerate, but he is not a..."

"Mom!..." Baochai blushed with embarrassment and said angrily.

"Okay, don't say it, don't say it, it's good that I know it in my heart. It's just that I have to talk to you about some things. These days, I see that the old lady is quite fond of that girl from the Lin family. I don’t like it, but at least you should take it easy.”

He stroked Baochai's hair again and smiled: "In my mother's opinion, that girl from the Lin family is so weak that she can't compare to my Chai'er family temperament! It's just that I don't think that girl's clothes are heavy all day long, and neither is my son. I need to make more fashionable clothes and jewelry, I heard that there is a splendid embroidery workshop in Beijing..."

Baochai lowered her head and fiddled with the handkerchief, sitting and talking with her mother, but her heart was turbulent.Originally, when my mother mentioned it, she didn't think very highly of Baoyu. After all, although he was gentle and considerate, he hated official career and economics the most. Her mind was also divided, she wanted to see if Lin Daiyu could beat her?

After that, Baochai had to treat Baoyu closer, and went to Mrs. Wang and Jiamu's side more frequently, and often paid tribute to some rare and precious things. Mrs. Wang was happy and more satisfied when she saw it. Faintly invisible.

……

One day, Lin Zhenyu brought Fu Yu back from the outside, and Fu Yu was just looking beautiful - in order to reward him for his improvement, his elder brother took him out for a day of fun!Ah, brother Yang is also very good, not only took him and brother to eat delicious food, but also hugged himself to watch fun juggling!Her little hands grabbed a package of things, which were delicious pastries specially for her sister, and Fu Yu excitedly took her brother's hand and ran towards Luomeiguan Dian'er.

Zhenyu was a little helpless, he was holding a big bag in the other hand, all of which were handcrafted by Fuyu and the craftsmen he selected for Dai'er. He had no choice but to resign himself to picking up another big bag, thinking of parting Shuiyang's playful eyes at him and the big bag in his hand, he wanted to grit his teeth, hum, wouldn't he just be a little taller and more energetic?What's there to be proud of! (Hey, it's obviously worried little eyes, poor Shuiyang children's shoes...)

In the Luomei House, Changge and the little girl were learning the rules with Nanny Liu, but Daiyu was not there. Seeing the uncle and the second master come in, Changge waited to salute, Zhenyu asked, "Where are your girls?"

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I went to the old lady's courtyard. Just now, Xue's family came to invite them. They said they got some rare gadgets for fun. They said they also invited the uncle and the second master."

Speaking of which, although there is a saying in this dynasty that men and women have different seats at seven years old, in fact, there is no such rigidity among relatives, and it is still the case in the north. But if they get married or have family members such as Xue Pan, brothers and sisters who are direct relatives have to avoid suspicion, and seeing an unmarried girl is a bit too much.

Zhenyu didn't want to go at all, the Jia sisters and him could be said to be relatives of their own and there was no need to be formal, but Xue Baochai and him were inseparable relatives. See you.

It's just that when he turned around to leave the hospital, he happened to meet Zhou Rui's family, and Zhou Rui's family was very enthusiastic when they saw him: "Hey, Mr. Lin just came back?"

Before Zhenyu could speak, he said with a smile all over his face: "Master Lin and Mr. Lin must hurry to the old lady's place! I heard that Mr. Xue's family brought a very rare thing called music box, which can sing and sing well." It’s so precious that it’s so precious!”

As she was talking, she wanted to go up to pull Zhenyu, Zhenyu didn't want her to touch her, and seeing Xiao Fuyu's disappointed expression because she didn't see her sister, she smiled and said, "I'm going to say hello to the old lady, Zhou Sister-in-law is busy, so let's go."

Stepping into the upper room, I really heard Mrs. Xue's laughter and Mrs. Wang's voice, which seemed very lively.Lin Zhenyu greeted the old lady with a smile, and was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of her younger sister's reddish eyes...
