Jia Zheng through the Red Mansions

Xue's family moved to Beijing, and now that Mrs. Wang is gone, Wang Xifeng, as a niece, naturally became the best candidate to maintain the relationship between the two families. Although Aunt Xue married to Xue's family when Wang Xifeng was born, although they are aunts He and his niece have never met, but this does not affect the intimacy between the two after meeting, but the two people's respective thoughts are unknown to outsiders.

Although the Jia family has gradually reduced the unnecessary entertainment in these years, the exchange of gift money between relatives during the New Year's Eve is still preserved. After all, they have contacts with each other, but they just take other people's money and send it back.Looking at the accounts year after year, Wang Xifeng naturally noticed that the Xue family has not only not been depressed because of the premature death of the man in charge, but has become more stable. Although there is no obvious change, it has already attracted Wang Xifeng's heart.

And Jia Lian is now the patriarch of the Jia family, and has no useful official position, so he naturally became the outside head of the Jia family. From his mouth, Wang Xifeng naturally found out what the man of the Xue family was like. This Xue Pan's reputation is not good. Very well, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is ignorant, how can such a person support such a Xue family?

Naturally, Wang Xifeng would not think that it was Baochai's credit. She subconsciously believed that Aunt Xue was not a simple woman, and she didn't feel a little sympathy in her heart. If she was a man...

Therefore, Wang Xifeng had a preconceived impression of Aunt Xue, whom she had never met before. Aunt Xue did not want to lose her relative in Jia's house. How could he not be affectionate to Wang Xifeng?

The two aunts and nephews who had their own thoughts entered the mansion, and first went to meet Jia Mu. The sisters heard that a new sister had arrived, and they all came out to meet. Baochai naturally paid great attention to Yingchun. Mother Jia introduced the eyes of the sisters, and she naturally felt that Mother Jia was unusual for Daiyu, and she also saw that Mother Jia really loved Yingchun, so she couldn't help but feel more worried about the fact that her mother wanted to propose marriage to her brother. .

Jia's mother was busy ordering people to attend the banquet, so she talked with Aunt Xue in this spare time. When she learned that Aunt Xue's house had not been tidied up, she left them to live in Jia's mansion.

"The yard that was just bought for their children just happened to be vacant. I think it's just right for Bao girl to live in. It won't be too late to move out after you have settled down."

Aunt Xue glanced at Yingchun from the corner of her eyes, made up her mind, and then smiled: "I won't refuse if the old lady says so, there is only one thing, the food and clothing expenses will be completely free, otherwise I don’t feel at ease living there.”

Mother Jia felt a little unhappy when she heard this, but she also knew that Aunt Xue didn't want to be seen as defecting to Jia's house, so she nodded her head and ordered someone to tidy up the yard. In this way, Baochai lived in Hengwu Courtyard Aunt Xue lived with Xue Pan in the courtyard next to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.

Originally Baochai wanted to live with her mother, but Aunt Xue refused: "Now my sisters and brothers all live in those yards, and I see that it is also unique and exquisite, which is very different from other homes. I know that you usually don't like these flowers and willows, but now that you are grown up, what will you do in the future if you still have such a temper, but it's a pity that your brother doesn't live up to it, otherwise you won't be able to..." Aunt Xue said here , sighed again.

Seeing her mother like this, Baochai hurriedly comforted her. Aunt Xue then said, "Furthermore, the two girls also live there. You have become acquainted with each other, and you will get along well in the future."

Baochai nodded in response, her face remained calm, but she shook her head secretly in her heart. Looking at Yingchun's demeanor and Jia Mu's love for her, how could she marry her to her brother?

Thinking of this, seeing that his mother wanted to continue talking, Baochai diverted the conversation: "Mom, let's not talk about these things. I think there is something wrong with what my mother said to the old lady just now, and I am a little concerned about it."

Aunt Xue was taken aback, Baochai had always been the head of the Xue family, and now she had unconditional trust in Baochai. When Baochai said this, she quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Baochai shook her head: "Nowadays we are temporarily staying with our relatives for food and clothing to spend our own money. Naturally, it is a good way to save ourselves from being gossiped. It's just that it is not good for my mother to say this in front of so many people. , I feel a little unhappy when I see the old lady's expression."

It would be good if these words were only spoken to Jia Mu or Wang Xifeng in private, but now that Aunt Xue said it in public, it might be heard in a different way, as if the Jia family could not afford them The Xue family's expenses are similar.There is another point that Baochai didn't tell his mother in his heart, that is, Daiyu, and now this Lin Daiyu is also a relative who lives in Jia's family. If my mother said so, it would be a disaster if the speaker didn't mean to hear it, but the listener meant it.

Baochai thought about these things in his heart, but he didn't mention them. On the second day Baochai lived in Hengwu Courtyard, Baoyu Zhang Luo wanted to set up the Peach Blossom Club, and was discussing with Daiyu in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to decide on the title and rhyme.

Xiangyun was taken home by his uncle at this time. Baoyu felt that without her, the Peach Blossom Club would be a lot less lively. At this moment, he thought of Baochai, so he said to Daiyu, "I don't know if Sister Bao who came yesterday will be happy." She can compose poetry, if she can, we will find her, and it will be even more lively!"

Daiyu glanced at Baoyu: "Maybe you will find out by asking, what do I do?"

Baoyu smiled and said to Daiyu: "After Sister Yun went to Sister Yun's house, it happened that Sister Bao came, and there was only one maid beside her. Thinking that the Zijuan in your room used to be with Pearl, why don’t you ask her to find out, if yes, we’ll send her a post to invite her, if not, we’ll ask her face to face, wouldn’t it be embarrassing for nothing!”

Daiyu glanced at Baoyu with a half-smile and said, "Zicuckoo and Pearl used to be together, don't you have Qingwen and Sheyue from Yihong Courtyard? What are you doing here? mean?"

Baoyu said awkwardly: "As soon as Qingwen and I spoke, she shamed me and let me go by myself. You know her temper."

Daiyu snorted coldly: "What about Sheyue? Co-author, do you think I don't know about Sheyue's temper? Who are you trying to fool with these words!"

Seeing that Baoyu couldn't hide it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain: "You must not take what Aunt Xue said that day to your heart, those girls and women are just chewing their tongues all day long..."

As soon as Baoyu said this, Daiyu's heart was cold and her face sank. She sneered and said, "You who don't chew your tongue are worse than those who chew your tongue!"

When Baoyu saw Daiyu's appearance, he felt a thump in his heart. He was afraid that these rumors would reach Daiyu's ears and make her sad, and he was also annoyed that those women were really hateful, and those words that were originally nothing would turn out to be uttered by them. It was extremely bitter and ugly, and he thought in his heart that they were all relatives of his own family, because it would be bad for these snobs to separate.

"Good sister, you know I don't mean anything, I'm just afraid that you will be angry and suffocate your body! If you are annoyed, you can take it out on me, but you will destroy yourself!" The more Baoyu said this, the more Daiyu angry.

What Baoyu said yesterday when Zicuckoo came back indignantly said: "Those eyes are narrowed to the little fingertips. They only see how the Xue family is, but they don't think about it. Madam did what she did when she was there that day." How many things!" Zicuckoo was talking about Jia Min, if Jia Min hadn't come to Jia's house to help, and helped Jia's mother come up with many ideas to make a living, the foundation of Jia's house that has been exhausted after several twists and turns, how could it be? Is it so easy to recover?

At that time, Daiyu was amused by Zijuan's words: "This mouth grows on other people's faces, who can control it? Why bother to get angry with them?"

Zijuan was a little bit indignant when she heard this: "Girl, Miss Bao is too good at being a man, didn't she just give two small gold ingots to the rough girls who served in her room, and now it's spread in the garden, saying She behaves grandly, treats others leniently, and is like a young lady! Girl, listen to what this is? Who is the co-author of a poor girl?"

Daiyu was not annoyed either, and said with a light smile, "What's the point of being angry? What she likes to do is her business, and it has nothing to do with us. If you get angry with such things, you will be angry to death. One day even I can't stand it anymore, so let's move to our Lin family's house, or nothing."

Zijuan stopped talking now, and Daiyu didn't take it to heart. Now hearing Baoyu's words, it's really like thunder.

Even if a thousand people and 1 people think of her that way, she also thinks that even if the whole world misunderstands her, Baoyu will be the only one who understands her, but now?Even Zijuan was not afraid of her getting angry, but because she couldn't get angry with other people's gossip, so she said that to her, but Baoyu thought she would care about these things, and suddenly, Daiyu felt all hope was lost, Suddenly the confidant became a stranger: "So I am a narrow-minded person in your heart!" As she spoke, Daiyu's tears fell.

When Baoyu saw that he was at a loss, he became anxious, wishing to grab his head off: "Sister Lin, if I have such thoughts, I will be inferior to a pig and a dog, and I should be struck by lightning!"

Daiyu said: "If you didn't think so, how could you say such a thing?" After that, Daiyu's tears fell more urgently.

Baoyu beat her chest and stamped her feet and explained: "My aunt, uncle and younger brother have just left, but Sister Bao came with her mother and brother. I am also afraid that you will be hurt by the scene and miss you too much, and I am afraid that the words of those villains will make you worry more. "

Daiyu's heart softened when she heard the first half of the sentence, and she became annoyed after hearing the second half: "How do you know that I will be angry because of these words?"

Baoyu hurriedly said, "I was furious when I heard that, let alone sister Lin?"

After hearing this, Daiyu's tears stopped a little, and her heart moved, she couldn't help asking: "Why are you angry about something that has nothing to do with you?"

Baoyu hurriedly said, "Why has nothing to do with me? Isn't your business my business?"

"Bah! What's yours and mine, so shameless and not ashamed!" Daiyu blushed and wanted to twist Baoyu's arm.

Baoyu begged for mercy, "Oh, ouch", Daiyu thought he had really hurt him, so she let go of her hand, but Baoyu suddenly grabbed Daiyu's sleeve: "Sister Lin, don't annoy me, you don't want to hurt me!" Annoyed, I even have the heart to die."

Daiyu's complexion changed, and she made a gesture to cover his mouth: "What is dead and alive, you can't talk nonsense!"

Baoyu chuckled: "Sister Lin said that, so I know you're not annoyed."

Daiyu snorted and turned her head to ignore him. After a while, the two of them looked at each other, laughed again, and started discussing the Peach Blossom Club. At this moment, they heard someone talking outside. As soon as Baoyu heard it, he knew it was Qingwen.

"Is Qingwen outside?" Baoyu called out.

I remembered the sound of footsteps, the curtain was lifted, Qingwen and Zijuan walked in together, Zijuan said to Daiyu: "Girl, Qingwen is here to ask for the pills sent by the second master Bao last time."

Baoyu asked strangely: "What does Qingwen want here? Who asked you to come here?"

Qingwen smiled: "There's a big commotion over there in the wing room. You don't even know it. The young master of the Xue family was brought back covered in blood. It is said that he was beaten and bruised all over. Isn't that true?" Second Grandma Lian remembered that she gave you a good pill a few days ago, which was the most effective for this trauma, so she sent someone to ask for it. When I looked for it, I remembered that you took it away and gave it to Lin girl."

Daiyu also remembered when she heard it: "Yes, you brought that medicine. I heard it was this medicine, and asked you what to do for me, but you said that the bottle is the most beautiful, and you insisted on letting me keep it." .”

Baoyu clapped his hands, nodded again and again, and then asked, "Why did the eldest brother of the Xue family become like this?"

When Qingwen heard this, she sneered and said: "It's really a good thing not to go out and do evil things for thousands of miles. His front foot was carried back, and the cause of the back foot has spread all over the world. It's because he failed to moleste an actor, but he was taught a lesson. I heard that I was still in the suburbs overnight, but fortunately the weather is still warm, if it is autumn, I will freeze to death!"

If there are still some unbearable things, there are still girls here, and Qingwen is hard to say. Baoyu is very lively, so I have to go and see it after hearing it. After I left the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I asked carefully again.

It turned out that before entering Beijing, Xue Pan wanted to have a good time with his heart. He was well-behaved when he came to the capital with his mother and sister. After dinner, I couldn't wait to leave the house and head straight for Bada Hutong.

Who would have thought that when he walked halfway, he would be attracted by the lively scene of a troupe, and when he went in and heard that the performer on stage had a really good voice and a pretty appearance, Xue Pan's heart would itch, and when the play was over, Xue Pan sent money to the troupe's clerk to sneak backstage. Seeing that the actor was still handsome without makeup, he couldn't help being lustful. His little face was suddenly beaten to the ground.

This person is Liu Xianglian, this Liu Xianglian is a child of a family whose parents died early, but he likes to brush guns, play swords, compose lyrics and sing songs, so he has some friendship with many opera actors in the troupe. He was so angry that he punched him.

This Xue Pan felt anxious after being beaten up. When he looked up, all the fire was gone. The man in front of him was handsome in appearance, and even his angry appearance made people like him very much!

Can Liu Xianglian fail to see the meaning of Xue Pan's expression?At this time, she became even more angry. At this time, the boss of the theater troupe came over. The boss was afraid of causing trouble. After a meal of persuasion, Liu Xianglian didn't want the boss to be difficult, so she pretended to reconcile with Xue Pan, saying that she was going to have a drink. Refused, the two left the troupe, and Liu Xianglian said he was going for a walk in the suburbs. Xue Pan was fascinated at this time, and didn't think about what kind of walk this evening, so he followed in a daze. The fat beating was still in the suburbs, and Liu Xianglian didn't know his identity, she just let out a bad breath and felt comfortable in her heart.

Therefore, Xue Pan, who was covered in scars and unconscious for most of the night, was finally discovered by the servant who couldn't find him the next day.

Aunt Xue was distressed and angry at the moment. She was distressed that her precious son was beaten up like this, and she was angry that his son was so unbelievable. The word had already spread. How could she talk to Jia Mu as a matchmaker for him?Forget it, he shouldn't be so lucky!Aunt Xue put down the idea of ​​saying goodbye to Xue Pan to welcome the Spring Festival.

When Xue Pan woke up, he hummed in pain and sent someone to smash the troupe. Aunt Xue was trembling with anger: "My son, this is the capital city, not Jinling. If it is in Jinling, how much is it?" It’s okay for you to screw up the theater troupe, but now you can’t let your mother worry about it?”

Seeing that his mother was really angry, Xue Pan didn't dare to say it again, but he couldn't let go of the anger in his heart. When Baoyu came to visit him, he told Baoyu about it, and said bitterly: "Brother Bao, I'm here I don’t know a few people here who are not familiar with the place, but do you know who that person is?”

After hearing Xue Pan's description, Baoyu immediately thought of it. Except for Liu Xianglian, there is no one else with such appearance and temperament, but if he doesn't say it, Big Brother Xue will inevitably find out by himself in the future. At that time, he still has to be ambitious, so it's better Tell him now.

Baoyu told Xue Pan of Liu Xianglian's identity, and then asked someone to tell Liu Xianglian to go out to avoid the limelight. Liu Xianglian had also heard of Xue Pan's title of dumb king, and she felt a little regretful and afraid. I left the theater troupe, which caused trouble, and when I was so busy, the theater troupe and the boss would only speak, and the boss's face collapsed when he heard it. This is really a disaster from heaven!

The boss had no choice but to beg Mr. Dong who had some friendship with him. This Mr. Dong was a confidant of Mr. Jiu, and his troupe often went to Mr. Jiu to sing operas. Not too much.

As soon as Master Jiu heard Xue Pan's name, he immediately remembered the kid from Jinling. Okay, this kid hit his gun again?Ninth Master narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes, and said to the kid beside him, "Go to Tenth Master."
