Rebirth of the forest sister of the Red Chamber

Regarding the matter of marrying Daiyu, Jia's mother had a deep talk with Jia Zheng before inviting the New Year's wine: "I am also getting old, and what I look forward to most is to see Baoyu marry a noble wife, who will be safe and sound." Getting married and having children, and being able to meet my great-grandson will fulfill my wish."

Jia Zheng was ashamed: "Baoyu is useless, my son didn't teach him well."

Jia Mu waved her hand: "Don't say that now, Baoyu, I see how many people in the capital can match him. He was born with jade, and he has great fortune, not to mention those articles, poems and songs." Fu, writing, which one of your gentlemen does not praise, which one does not boast, Baoyu looks very handsome, I am not afraid of offending children from other aristocratic families, who is more handsome than Baoyu, I am thinking about giving Baoyu Find a relative, you also think about it."

Jia Zheng saw that Jia's mother was sure of winning, and laughed quickly: "Mother has a family."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded, "That's natural. What do you think of Min'er's Daiyu?"

Jia Zheng thought about it for a moment, his face was not obvious, and he was very happy in his heart, but when he thought of his family status, he was very nervous: "Mother is talking about sister Min's daughter, Daiyu's child? She is a very good child. Hai is not very willing, but now Ru Hai is a first-rank minister in the dynasty, but his family status is much higher than ours." This sister-in-law is a high-ranking official, so it is not so easy to agree.

The smile on Jia Mu's face faded: "What's the matter? Didn't Min'er crawl out of my intestines? Then Lin Ruhai is just a first-class minister, and our Duke's Mansion can't get close to it. Besides, Yuanchun is now According to me, family status, foundation, character, talent, learning, and furniture are not worthy of any of them." Walking around with a cane, he turned around and said, "Your sister didn't say no, she will just drink in a few days. During the New Year's wine, you take advantage of the opportunity to mention it to Ruhai, and bring Baoyu to him by the way, he will definitely be happy, so don't be too strict, the Xian Wang of Beijing is also very praised, and now Baoyu is still with the palace Be good, you have seen a few families where children can come and go in and out of the palace at will."

Jia Zheng thought about it for a while, and thought it was feasible: "What the mother said is also very true, but the son made a mistake. The son will tell Wang when he turns around."

Only then did Jia Mu sit down comfortably: "Go, don't forget it, and don't put on a face like a tiger, let him be afraid of what you look like, it won't be a shame when the time comes."

Jia Zheng agreed.

Sitting in the room, Jia Min didn't see Baoyu who likes to be lively and sit up with all the sisters the most, so doubts arose in her heart. Sister Feng pretended not to care and said to herself: "Oh, brother Bao is going to talk to you today. The second master has gone to meet the guests, and without Brother Bao, it seems that something is missing."

Jia Min looked at Jia's mother above with a proud face, chatting and laughing with her sisters-in-law on the sandalwood crutches given by Yuanchun, and she felt a bad feeling in her heart. It's really strange to meet guests with my second brother at this time.

Sister Feng next to her suddenly teased Daiyu, and her voice was not loud enough to let the three of them know: "My younger sister has grown up so much, and if a girl asks for hundreds of families, I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry her!"

Jia Min and Daiyu looked at each other, and Sister Feng hurriedly broke the conversation, and went to Yingchun to speak the next sentence, flying around the banquet like a butterfly to flatter her.

Jia Min was afraid that Daiyu would be unwell, so Daiyu looked at Jia Min with sparkling eyes, and smiled, "Mother, it's okay, father and brother will definitely not agree." It's pretty good, but what is brother going to do?

Jia Min looked at Daiyu lovingly, and her daughter finally grew up.

After eating wine and watching the play, Mother Jia didn't see the person in front of her coming to announce the good news. She changed her mind, presumably it must be a happy conversation, and just asked again at night. Her demeanor as Zhuang Xianpin's grandmother: sometimes she asked these sisters-in-law if they would stay for dinner, and prepared a banquet; The girl went back after the year as a guest, and after a while she talked with Aunt Xue about the affairs of the palace, the smile on her face couldn't be kept at all, Aunt Xue was sitting on top of Mrs. It's very close, but before the Chinese New Year, she received the queen's imperial decree, and she specially rewarded Mrs. Jiupin with an imperial order. Although it was not very gorgeous and simple, when she came to eat New Year's wine, Aunt Xue walked in front of Mrs. Wang with her head held high. Mrs. Wang When I saw it, I almost broke the string of beads in my hand.

Narcissus standing outside saw the little girl brought by Lin Heng approaching with sharp eyes, and the two whispered, Narcissus adjusted her clothes, quietly entered the room, and passed a message to Jia Min: "Madam, eldest girl, master and master both want to go home. went.

After Jia Min heard this, she got up and said goodbye to Daiyu. Jia's mother was a little less excited, so she didn't want to stay: "Your family has a lot of important things, so go home!" Follow their house.

Jia Min carried Daiyu into the sedan chair, and when she heard the commotion in the outer courtyard from a distance, she ordered people to get out of the sedan chair first.

As soon as Jia Min and Daiyu returned home, everyone rushed to help them change their clothes, clean their faces, and wash their faces. After a long busy time, Jia Min and Daiyu sat down and drank tea comfortably. Xiao one came in one after the other, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing, and Lin Heng smiled even more.

Jia Min gave up his seat, Daiyu poured water for the father and son, Lin Heng took a sip and said with a smile: "Have fun!"

Jia Min couldn't bear it anymore: "Before we left, we heard the noise in the outer courtyard of the Duke's mansion, so what's the matter?"

Lin Ruhai smiled without saying a word, while Lin Heng spoke very vividly under Lin Ruhai's gesture.

It is said that today when father and son got off their horses in the outer courtyard, a young servant came up to take them away. Jia Zheng took Baoyu and greeted him at the door, clasping his fists and saying, "Ruhai is here at last. There is a little thin wine in the house today. Don't you?" Don't get drunk!"

Lin Ruhai clasped his fists in return and smiled, seeing Baoyu beside him: "Long time no see, your Baoyu is so big!" This kid has red lips and white teeth, and his appearance is considered good, so I don't know what's going on inside.

Lin Heng saluted Jia Zheng: "Lin Heng has met Mr. Zheng!"

Jia Zheng didn't care about Lin Heng's words, and motioned Baoyu to salute Lin Ruhai. Baoyu had only seen Lin Ruhai once or twice, and didn't remember much about it. He only thought that Sister Lin's father was tall and elegant, and today he was wearing a purple lace gown. The white jade robe belt was tied with a ring-shaped mutton fat jade. Compared with the high-ranking officials who had seen it before, he was not very like him.

Lin Ruhai raised his hand: "Baoyu is so polite!"

Jia Zheng raised his hand and said, "Please!"

Lin Ruhai followed Lin Heng in, Baoyu's eyes fell on Lin Heng early on, and she thought to herself, although Brother Lin Heng is not sister Lin's real brother, he is actually such a handsome and outstanding person, it's a pity that he is going to Laoshizi Kingdom It's a pity that Zixue can't stay in one place day and night.

Lin Heng looked at Baoyu and looked at himself without blinking. He was upset when he saw Jia Baoyu for the first time, and when he learned that Jia's mother wanted Daiyu to marry Baoyu, he asked people to watch Baoyu's every move. As soon as he moved, when he heard about Baoyu and Qin Zhong, he was startled, and felt uncomfortable when he thought about it, which made him afraid to talk to the people in the school for several days. Later, Qian Ziming found out. Just laugh and scold me afterwards!Now, Baoyu looked at him with such eyes again, and he wished to punch Baoyu to taste the strength, and also try the boxing skills taught by Brother Jing.

Lin Ruhai had the highest official position, and after giving in to everyone, he took the chief seat. In order to let Baoyu give Lin Ruhai a good impression, Jia Zheng specially arranged Baoyu to sit next to Lin Heng.

Baoyu couldn't bear it and said first: "Cousin Lin, do you have something to eat? If you don't like it, ask someone to change it immediately."

Lin Heng smiled: "Second brother Jia is worrying too much, the banquet is so good!" Looking at it, there is a dazzling array of delicacies from mountains and seas, fresh fruits that are rare in winter, and all the boys in the corridor are wearing new clothes made of Ning silk. , really reckless, if he remembers correctly, this is the standard in the palace.

Jia Qiang and Jia Rong all came over to toast one after another: "This is the cousin of the Lin family? Come on, come on, it's the first time we meet, it's full!"

Seeing this, Jia Lian hurried over: "You boys, bullying him is nothing." Lin Heng held up the cup and drank it down, turning over the cup to show that he had finished drinking: "It's okay, Cousin Lian." Turning his head and laughing : "I'm an elder, how about three cups of self-punishment?"

Jia Lian didn't dare to be reckless, so she drank a cup too. Jia Qiang and Jia Rong met each other, punished themselves with three cups and left obediently. Baoyu looked at them and couldn't help drinking a few more cups.

After Lin Heng drank the wine, his face would turn red. Baoyu felt itchy, and asked, "Brother Lin, what book have you read recently?"

Lin Heng squinted his eyes, full of charm: "You don't have to study in school, but I don't know what book Jia Er brother reads?"

Baoyu was fascinated by the look in front of her eyes, and blurted out: "Who can read those mediocre words, those mediocre books don't matter, Brother Lin, why don't you go to some country to study, and go to home with me to study?"

Lin Heng frowned: "How can the book of sages become mediocre in your mouth, how can you win it in the future? Master Zheng doesn't care if you have never done it?"

Baoyu shook her head as if drunk, and waved her hand: "Master, I don't care about me!" Approaching Lin Heng, he chuckled and said, "Brother Lin, we can go to the school whenever we want, and it's not bad if we don't want to. Even though Xiang Lian Yu Ai from Li has gone, there are still better ones coming in, the adults in the family don't care."

Lin Heng got up and was about to toast Jia Zheng, but Baoyu followed behind and muttered; "If Cousin Lin is free, I can take you to see the King of Beijing. He has many sages and many friends in the future , and those who come over are all first-class beauties!"

Both Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng heard it. Lin Ruhai just looked at his son with raised eyebrows. Jia Zheng was ashamed and hated. The brothers in the corridor hurried over to help Baoyu go down, Jia Zheng said to Lin Ruhai annoyed: "The child drank too much, please don't let the son-in-law see you." He added: "He rarely touches alcohol."

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Where, Heng'er can't drink too much, so I don't know what Brother Bao said."

Lin Heng touched his face and confessed: "Brother Bao said just now that he didn't want to read mediocre books, and he talked about the love and affection in the family school. There are better ones to come in. The family school can't think of it." Go or not, this may be different from Guozixue, I didn’t know there were these!”

The smile on Jia Zheng's face couldn't stay, he was not a woman, so he said: "Perhaps Baoyu was drunk and talking nonsense."

Lin Heng nodded and said: "When Brother Bao wakes up from the wine, I want to talk to Brother Bao. The school is on vacation, and I made up my experience yesterday. I just want to discuss my opinions with others. Brother Bao is a talented person. I must have more experience than I do." Seeing what Jia Zheng wanted to say, Lin Heng hurriedly added: "It's all in the Four Books, and brother Bao must have finished reading it."

Jia Zheng thought that Baoyu had learned well at home, so he agreed immediately.

Taking advantage of Jia Zheng's inattention, Lin Heng proudly gave Lin Ruhai a compliment, which made Lin Ruhai's hand itch, and wanted to knock on it. Lin Heng stuck out his tongue and went back to the table.

After Baoyu woke up from the wine, he went outside for a while, so Jia Zheng took him into the study with Lin Ruhai and Lin Heng, and left the outside affairs to Jia Amnesty, Jia Zhen and others.

Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai sat on top, Baoyu and Lin Heng sat at the round table, and the servants brought paper, ink, brushes and inkstones.

Baoyu was a little dazed, but Jia Zheng looked a little uneasy, and comforted himself that Baoyu was talented and there was no problem.

Lin Ruhai pointed to a sentence in the Four Books: A country with a thousand chariots respects its affairs and uses it faithfully, while loving others makes the people have time, let them solve the problem, and time is like a stick of incense.

This is the first place in the Analects of Confucius middle school. Lin Ruhai didn't want to bully Baoyu, so he didn't take the college entrance examination. When Jia Zheng heard this sentence, he felt relieved. After all, this sentence is one of the foundations of the Analects of Confucius.

Everyone takes it for granted, but the problem is that Baoyu doesn't read much, even if he reads, it is all the sound of Feifei in the Book of Songs.

Baoyu's face turned pale when he saw this question, Lin Heng thought for a while, and his pen was already flying like a fly.

Baoyu raised his head slightly to look at Jia Zheng and Lin Ruhai, and then saw Lin Heng. He couldn't help but write, smear, and changed a lot of paper.

After burning a stick of incense, Lin Heng first presented it to Lin Ruhai and Jia Zheng. Lin Ruhai knew how his homework was, so he handed it to Jia Zheng first. Jia Zheng read it from beginning to end. When he was young, he was able to write well, with neat fonts and extraordinary skill.

As soon as Baoyu handed it up, Jia Zheng felt something was wrong. Looking carefully, the writing was chaotic, the handwriting was out of shape, and the article inside was written in a wrong way. The corner of his mouth twitched. Lin Ruhai reached out to take it, glanced at Baoyu, and turned Turning over the papers, he handed them back to Jia Zheng peacefully and said, "I don't know what Baoyu said about family learning? I couldn't find the word "Zhengzheng" in it, and let's put it aside. None of the sentences have been completed. There are still a few typos, I thought about it, and it is not the name of the second uncle or someone else!"

Jia Zheng became angry and ashamed, threw the article in front of Baoyu, pointed at Baoyu and said angrily, "What did you learn in school?" Brother Li Gui, if you think about it, it's wrong to call back the boy. You should call in a young boy who followed Baoyu.

As soon as the little Yao'er came in, he quickly knelt in front of him and kowtowed: "The slave has seen the master."

Jia Zheng said angrily: "How many times does Baoyu go to home to study? What do you usually do? Also, who is the love for Yu?"

The youngest child trembled tremblingly, he had never seen Jia Zheng, when he saw the master, Baoyu gave him a wink, and poured out all his thoughts: "Second Master Bao has been there a few times this year, I don't remember, Mr. Qin is here I went there for a while, then Grandma Xiaorong went, and Mrs. Qin fell ill, so Second Master Bao didn’t go. Later, Second Master Bao went about ten times. Because Second Master Bao was not well, the old My wife didn't let me go, and it's been since the school holidays a year ago."

Xiao Yaoer looked up at Jia Zheng, his face was already dark, he quickly lowered his head, and swallowed: "Second Master Bao usually goes to Beijing Palace, or General Ying Xiaofeng attends a banquet, everything else is in the mansion The Xiang Lian and Yu Ai are from the family school. When Mr. Qin Xianggong was in school, he didn’t go to school because he had a dispute with him. I heard that he is... the puppet brother of Master Xue Biao.” The little Yao’er kowtowed after finishing speaking. back out.

As soon as Jia Zheng heard this, he turned around and gave Baoyu a hard slap. His hand was so strong that Baoyu's face blushed.

Lin Ruhai came belatedly to stop Jia Zheng, and said gently, "Baoyu is still young, so it's not uncommon for him not to like reading, why should the second uncle be so angry. As for the family education, it must be because of the improper style of study, Baoyu didn't like to go, Brother Qi is also a gentleman!"

Only then did Lin Heng look at Lin Ruhai with admiration, father, you stopped him after the other party had finished fighting, and besides, you didn't beat me up as soon as you heard about Qidi, I'm afraid I have 01:30 o'clock something wrong.

Jia Zheng's face turned green, and when he was about to say something, Lin Ruhai stopped him: "A few days ago, I also heard Madam say what the old matriarch meant, but now that it's like this, I don't need to mention it anymore, lest I hurt you. Peaceful isn't it?"

Jia Zheng froze, Lin Ruhai glanced at Baoyu again, and cupped his hands: "Second uncle has something to do, so Ruhai won't bother you." Jia Zheng didn't want to answer, so he took Lin Heng out and went out before leaving. He also specifically said to Lin Heng: "If you dare to do this, I will break your leg!"

Lin Heng replied loudly: "My son must not dare!"

Jia Zheng's heart was already burned by Baoyu's inability to advance, and his eyes were about to burst. He picked up the ruler and greeted Baoyu. The boy at the door stumbled and ran to ask the old lady to save Second Master Bao.
