Jia Min put her arms around Daiyu, and finally listened to the father and son talk about the cause and effect, and then saw the indifference of the father and son. Thinking that everything was done properly, she breathed a sigh of relief and put it aside.But Daiyu still thought that Baoyu was her cousin, so she added another sentence, "Is cousin Baoyu all right?"
Lin Heng glanced at Daiyu. This younger sister was thoughtful and kind, so he waved his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, younger sister. I saw it with my own eyes, and she never hurt her bones. Then Jia Baoyu But Mr. Zheng's own son, although he is not up to the mark, how can Mr. Zheng be so hard-hearted, after all, his actions are measured, and there will be no major incidents. If Brother Jing makes a move, it is likely that he will either die or be injured."
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Heng with some reproach. Only then did Lin Heng realize that he was too excited. How could he mention Jing Weihao in front of Daiyu? There are many people surnamed Jing in the capital, not the only one.Daiyu heard what her brother said, so she put her hands down and leaned on Jia Min's arms.
Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while, although he did what a gentleman would do, he was not the type to let others plan, so there was no reason not to return the courtesy.Lin Ruhai twisted his beard and tail with his hands, and revealed an inscrutable smile. Fang told Jia Min carefully: "Don't forget to ask someone about the situation of Brother Bao tomorrow. If the injury is serious If there is no need, we will send someone to deliver the wound medicine. Our family does not need to be stingy about it. Then we asked someone to bring a message, saying that we are sorry from the bottom of our hearts, and we will try our best to find a great Confucian for Baoyu, or maybe we will spend some effort to manage it. Put a lot of effort into getting Baoyu to enter the Guozi School, and get rid of this matter, and get all the relatives."
Daiyu was startled when she heard her father's words, she was originally a smart woman, so she immediately understood what her father meant.Lin Heng couldn't stop nodding. Sure enough, he still needs to learn from his father. Sure enough, Jiang is still hot when he gets old, and it can be said that the older he gets, the hotter he gets.Father's move is really a brilliant move, stepping on Jia Baoyu's painful foot!When outsiders know about it, they have to praise the Lin family for their generosity, and this Rongguo Mansion will lose its dignity even more.
Jia Min gently stroked her hair on the temples, pursed her lips lightly, and then burst into a smile.She has been husband and wife with Ru Hai for so many years, so she just nodded her head because she didn't understand what her husband meant.
Let's not talk about the Lin family.At this time, Mother Jia was talking about the palace rules with Aunt Xue with great interest, seeing Aunt Xue's extraordinarily respectful face, there was a hint of complacency on her face.
All of a sudden, the yard became noisy, and only heard the commotion of soldiers and horses. Before Jia Mu got a little angry and sent Amber to ask, she heard a very piercing cry: "Old lady, hurry up and save Second Master Bao." , Master wants to beat Second Master Bao to death!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a young servant running in half-rolling and half-crawling outside, out of breath, seeing Jia Mu as if seeing the Jade Emperor, he quickly knelt down and said, thinking about running in a hurry, he was a little out of breath when he spoke : "Old... old... old ancestor, the master is beating the second master in the study!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up from her chair, only to feel that her eyes were darkened, her body was almost on the verge of falling, and her face lost all color.The sisters-in-law who were originally sitting looked at each other without speaking.Tanchun and Li Wan were very clever, and hurried forward to support Mrs. Wang together.When Jia Mu heard this, she became extremely anxious, and hurriedly picked up the sandalwood cane and slammed the ground hard, pointing at the boy and said: "You don't hurry up! What is going on!"
The young man swallowed quickly, collected himself, and then spoke in detail, explaining the situation in the study from the beginning to the end, speaking quickly and quickly, but the words were clear, especially pointing out what Lin Ruhai said those few words.The few knowledgeable sisters-in-law in the house who have already been separated from the house frowned early, and their faces were not very good-looking. How could such obscenities be said in the inner courtyard, so they hugged themselves calmly daughter or niece, so as not to dirty the girls' ears.Jia Mu couldn't care less about other things at this time, so she said to Yuanyang fiercely: "My old lady, go and see! See if he dares to beat my precious jade!"
Yuanyang is Jia Mu's confidant, knowing that Jia Baoyu is Jia Mu's heart, he hurriedly picked up the cloak, Hu Po raised the curtain early, and asked the woman in the yard to carry out the soft sedan chair, Mrs. Wang also wore a squirrel cloak, her face Tears were still dripping on his face, and he was still wiping away tears with a handkerchief, but his feet were not slow, and he didn't care about other things for a while, let alone resigning, so he stepped out of the flower hall, busy copying the nearest corridor, burning with impatience He rushed to Jia Zheng's study, not to mention that the soil became muddy due to the melting of snow, only to suffer from Tanchun and Li Wan, how could they dare not follow closely, followed by a group of maids and women, It was huge.
As soon as Mrs. Wang rushed to the door of the outer study, she heard Baoyu's cry, and her heart ached even more. The motherly heart made Mrs. Wang unable to think about other things, and she even abandoned her usual demeanor. With his heart in his mouth, he lifted his foot in, but saw Jia Zheng beating Baoyu with a rattan cane with a flushed face. He couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or beating Baoyu hard.The sound of the cane being thrown could be faintly heard, showing its strength. Mrs. Wang saw a broken ruler lying on the ground, and when she looked closely at Baoyu, she saw that the lotus-colored clothes had already seen blood, which was particularly dazzling.Mrs. Wang hurriedly broke away from Tanchun and Li Wan, threw herself on Baoyu, and defended her son tightly. Weeping and shouting: "Master, if you want to kill him, kill me first!" After that, he hurriedly held Baoyu's face with trembling hands, looking at Baoyu's ruddy face this morning. Pale and bloodless, the few scars of crimson and bleeding vines on her face almost made Mrs. Wang feel dizzy, and she fainted again, crying and slapping her chest vigorously: "Master, I have such a son at such an age, if Zhu'er still Now, I don’t care about it, Baoyu will be beaten by you, but now I am left with this useless thing, which is actually cutting off my heart alive. Pity my Baoyu! For a few words that are useless It’s like this. If you have something wrong, how can you live as a mother!”
Looking at Baoyu who had fainted in Mrs. Wang's arms, Jia Zheng thought of the dead Zhu'er again, and his heart ached unbearably. The cane could no longer be lifted, so he had to throw it aside.Before Jia Zheng could speak, Mother Jia came in angrily. Looking at Baoyu who was being held by Mrs. Wang, her heart ached, she pointed at Jia Zheng and scolded: "It's a big New Year's day, so you have to make a fuss to make people fall on their backs to be reconciled, isn't it? It’s getting better and better. Is there anyone who beats a child before the end of the new year, and Baoyu didn’t do anything wrong, so you can beat him so hard just because of an outsider’s words?” After all, Mother Jia still didn’t forget He glared at Jia Zheng a few times.
Jia Zheng has always been upright, so he never dared to contradict Jia's mother. Seeing that his mother was very angry, even his momentum was a little bit short, so he said: "I just found out today that he didn't go to school a few times a year, and he can write an article." There are so many typos, how old he is, he hasn't even finished reading the Analects of Confucius in the Four Books! It really makes me feel ashamed."
Jia Mu slapped the table next to her hard and said, "I don't care about the Analects of Confucius or Yuyu, and I shouldn't fight during the year! Baoyu is weak, and he rests at home more on weekdays, so what's the problem? How many books are missing for him to read? How can you be so cruel as a father! You actually abused your own son first."
Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng, who came with Jia Mu, did not enter the study, which is against the rules.It's just that there was a high-pitched sound in the study, not everyone heard the words, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but glance at each other, pursed their lips, full of disdain, but just kept silent.Only Li Wan had heard Mrs. Wang's words about her deceased husband earlier, and her heart ached unbearably. She had already burst into tears, but she dared to stand aside and wipe away her tears without making a sound.
Jia Zheng stood on the side with his hands hanging down. At this moment, he was overwhelmed, and seeing Baoyu in such a state, he knew that he had beaten him hard. Naturally, he was very annoyed.
Jia's mother didn't even look at Jia Zheng, but asked the young servants to carry Baoyu into her soft sedan chair and send it to her inner room, and then take their famous cards to invite the imperial doctor.Mrs. Wang hurriedly followed, crying and crying.When the people dispersed, Jia's mother said to Jia Zheng earnestly, "You are too impatient. Don't you, a father, not know how Baoyu has always been? Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, just ignore everything." You are just such a son. If you break it, don’t you feel bad! As for the original matter, forget it, I didn’t say it. It’s just that Lin Ruhai is too much, and he didn’t leave our family behind. Put it in your eyes, it's really hateful!"
Jia Zheng had no idea at this time, so he responded indiscriminately and sent Jia Mu out of the study in a low voice.
Not to mention how busy Mrs. Wang was, and how she asked the doctor for medicine.The sisters-in-law who were left in the flower hall asked to leave home one after another before Jiamu came back to take a breather.Now Jia Mu's mind is all on Baoyu, so she only asks Lin Zhixiao's family to send these relatives out.
Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he didn't want to go out.Mrs. Wang was afraid that the maids would not serve her carefully, and she didn't care about the few bruises on her body, so she simply guarded Baoyu day and night, so that she could take care of it carefully.Jia's mother had Baoyu's heart, and she had to ask more than a dozen times a day. She was crying in the back room all day long, and she even ate very little food, and she didn't have the energy to take care of things outside. , I don't care about it at all, it's just cheaper for Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing to host the next year's wine, and finally he has a bit of a serious royal title, the head of the family.
The next day, Lin Zhong's family got the order and ordered people to guard outside Jia's mansion early on. Afraid of missing the master's affairs, they asked her family's son Lin Ying to guard near Rongguo mansion together.Lin Ying only watched the people from the Tai Hospital being rushed into the mansion by the stewards of the Rongguo Mansion, while the gatekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion were standing, but they bent their lips disdainfully as they entered.Among them was a boy with a blue and white hidden button on his collar, touching his new hat, and with an impatient face, he swaggered and sat on the wonton stand on one side, rolled up his sleeves, and put his feet on the other bench. Looking like an old man, he spat with a face full of displeasure, and then said carelessly: "It's really bad luck! As soon as the second master Bao is beaten, we will follow suit!"
Those Huladi who like to listen to the gossip all came over with bowls at once, and looked at this boy with wide eyes. Some Xili snorted noodles, and Lin Ying was also among them, holding a bowl of big wontons , Waiting for the boy's next words.
The boy sighed first, and then vividly described what happened yesterday again, spit flying, and added a few words from time to time, shaking his head while talking, and watching the people around him paying attention. Looking at him, he was very complacent, and he didn't even know what to say. He gestured and said: "Do you know what the Analects is? That's because a boy who just went to school knows something, but our precious second master Bao is not even familiar with the Analects." What is this called?" "I also heard that Jia's family is very masculine, and it must be similar to Nanfengyuan, which is more serious than others. I just don't know if this man feels more masculine than his daughter. It's better." "Tsk tsk, about [-]% of the words in the whole article are wrong, which is worse than that scholar who writes for a living in the back street." "The master only smoked twenty or so, and the second master Bao cried in pain , still calling the servant girl’s name. It’s okay, if I get beaten, it will hurt. But our master is too delicate, so he couldn’t bear it and passed out.” “You didn’t see that weekday The dignified wife, Mrs. Wang, was crying with tears and snot." "These are not anecdotes, and there are even more funny ones. The old lady said that Bao Erye can not study at home." "This time the doctor Wang said Second Master Bao will have to stay in bed for two months, so he is extremely delicate." Waiting for the words, the eyebrows were beaming, and he was very energetic.
The common people of those small families like to listen to the gossip and rumors of these high-ranking families to pass the time. After the little guy finally finished speaking, that was really exciting. Everyone got together with a bowl in their hands. There are more than a dozen versions of the comments, which are more exciting than storytellers.
The stall owner was also happy to hear that, this time, he had a lot of stories to tell his wives and boys, and added two extra big wontons for the boy, who hurriedly lowered his head to eat the wontons, and stopped arguing.
Lin Ying was full after eating and drinking, and hurriedly stroked her belly and walked towards Lin's mansion.The boy squinted at him for a while, lifted his belt, threw down a few copper coins, and ran away immediately.
Lin Ying returned to the mansion, and told her mother what she had heard in detail. Lin Zhong's family was immediately happy, and gave her boy a half-day vacation, and she immediately trotted to tell Jia Min, and learned again. over again.
Jia Min couldn't help smiling when she heard this, she only covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and hurriedly asked someone to open the warehouse to take a few bottles of good wound medicine, and specially packed a few good things, and a small screen for Chen Xiangshou Xing , this is for Jia Mu, as for Baoyu, he found several new books and added Fang Duan inkstone.When everything was packed, he called Wang Gui's family to follow him to Jia's mansion, so that he could make amends.
Because on this day, all the people who invite you to the mansion to drink New Year's wine are distinguished guests. For example, there are old friends and hereditary families such as the Concubine Beijing, and there are also some new noble families who support each other.Mrs. Xing had never presided over the New Year's wine, so she couldn't help being a little timid, thinking that Sister Feng had taken care of the housework before, so she would definitely be able to get started, so she simply took Sister Feng by her side.Sister Feng also felt good, she didn't stand out, she just whispered something to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing was embarrassed, and she felt very comfortable after being complimented by others. Wang Xifeng also got everyone's praise, which was very useful.
Jia's mother was not at ease. She only talked about Baoyu's suffering, and she kept Baoyu in mind.Those old friends were too busy to call their personal nurses to visit, so as to express their condolences.All the mothers and sisters took the order to go. They were all respectable figures in front of the master, and they all knew each other. After receiving the order, they went to Jiamu's room while talking and laughing.
At this time, Jia Min was leading people into Jia's mother's room, and no one dared to stop the aunt.Jia's mother had heard the news a long time ago, and when she heard the footsteps, she hurriedly dropped the glass, and before Jia Min entered the room, she sternly shouted: "I don't see her! If I don't want to, I'll just let it go. She's so vicious and disregards the friendship of the flesh and blood. Are you forcing my Baoyu to death?"
Not only Jia Min heard this sound, but all the nuns also heard it. They glanced at each other, stopped walking and stayed on the porch beside the yard, listening with their ears up.Rongguo Mansion originally had loose rules, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the little girls who were supposed to stay outside were nowhere to be seen, they just ate cakes and melon seeds in the next side room, waiting for orders from the sisters in the back room.
All the nuns had their own ideas, otherwise they would not be able to rely heavily on the master. One of the brave ones quietly lifted a corner of the door curtain and looked in, and saw Jia Min leaning on Jia Mu's bed with her knees bent, talking softly to the couch. Jia's mother apologized.I only heard Jia Min whispering softly: "Mother, my husband never thought that Baoyu would be beaten like this by the second brother. Baoyu's big characters were plastered all over the yard. Who would have thought that even an article had a typo?" .”
Jia's mother snorted coldly: "Now you are married and have a son and a daughter, but your wings have grown hard, and you don't care about me as a mother. It's just such a big thing. If you don't agree, forget it." .But what is Baoyu's crime, and Baoyu is going to be punished to such a degree? Just because of an outsider? I don't know who is close or close."
Jia Min only felt that these words were very harsh, and he was actually forcing himself to die. He felt so ashamed and uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what it was like for a while?Jia Min rolled up her sleeves, bit her lips, and although her tone was gentle, her face was calm, she just asked: "Does mother believe me and husband?" "It can be seen that mother does not believe me and husband." Although It is a question, but it is very certain.Mother Jia felt a little wronged, she was speechless at once, and saw Min'er's expression again, but in a blink of an eye, she thought that Baoyu could only be helped up to drink rice porridge. The grandmother was very distressed, and suddenly became angry, and suddenly pushed Jia Min away.
The soft couch stands on the steps, which is as high as a finger.Unexpectedly, Jia Min was not prepared for this. She was suddenly pushed by Jia's mother and fell to the ground. The jade bracelet made a clear and crisp impact sound.But Jia Mu didn't even look at her, she just pointed to Jia Min and said, "Don't try to coax me with nice words in front of me, why don't you go and see how your poor nephew Baoyu was beaten up by your second brother?" That skinny, jade-like little man turned out like that, he is not your son, you naturally don’t feel sorry for him, poor Baoyu is so painful that he can’t sleep all day long, how can you be an aunt? I love you for nothing After so many years, I have raised a white-eyed wolf." Jia Min's heart was half cold, he closed his eyes, and slowly opened them, a pair of clear eyes only looked at Jia's mother, Jia Min didn't call the maid to help him, just slowed down. Standing up slowly, she gave a sneer, and then regained her calm expression, she was originally a sharp person, her voice was like jewels falling into a plate, Fang said: "Mother's words are unreasonable. How old is Baoyu, Brother Heng? The Analects of Confucius is a must-read book for beginners in imperial examinations. Who would have thought that Baoyu had never read this line? Baoyu’s poems and songs, my mother praised and praised in front of me, but they are not comparable to Li Bai and Su Shi.”
Jia Min then paused again, before continuing: "For people like us, the Four Books and Five Classics are the right way, and the poems and songs are good-sounding, but they are nothing more than the end of the art. Could it be that the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty lived only by writing poems?" No. Baoyu is the darling of the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law, and the jewel in the eyes of her mother. Could it be possible that she will become an official after the imperial examination, but can she be raised by others? I just heard that Baoyu only enters the family school a dozen times a year. Is it true? Fake? Family tradition, I am a woman who stays at home, I don’t know where, but I can always find out. What’s more, when the second elder brother beat Baoyu, Husband and Heng’er both stopped and persuaded her Yes, it's just that there are no relatives who meddle in the hands of father and son at will, which is a joke. Could it be the fault of Husband and Heng'er? It doesn't make sense."
Mother Jia has been going smoothly all these years, and she is also the top of the family's pagoda. How could she be said so, but she couldn't refute every word of Jia Min, and she only swelled up.Jia Min has long been depressed. She was thinking of mother-daughter love before, and she didn't want to say so. It's just that the clay figurine still has a temper, so she just wanted to express it quickly: "If Baoyu can make a fuss and make progress, how can he be so good?" If this happened, why did the second brother beat him! Even my mother can't have a good year."
The nuns couldn't see Jia Min's expression, but after hearing Jia Min's words, they just felt happy, as if they had won a big reward. He talked about boasting and boasting, but no matter how much he boasted, he said that he was born with jade, good luck, good fortune, and serious knowledge. I haven't seen her say a word. It's a few thousand words, but how old Jia Baoyu is now, wouldn't it be ridiculous to use it.Furthermore, although Jia Baoyu has a good face, every time he sees these nuns, he looks disgusted, and his eyes are fixed on the young girls and maids.Which one of the nuns is not human, they just don't say anything, they don't show it on the face, who makes them just slaves.
Jia Min is not a person who only wants to have fun. Seeing that Jia Mu's expression is extremely angry and ashamed, she is not afraid in her heart, so she said in a slightly slower tone: "I know that my mother was born because of a precious jade, and she regards it as precious. It’s just that he was too spoiled, which made Baoyu so useless. Could it be that mother has forgotten what happened a while ago. Brother Heng is a few years older than him, and he hasn’t seen him flirting with the maid who waits on him, doing such inappropriate things. Baoyu is ahead of Brother Heng! Besides, my mother always said that Brother Heng is an outsider. Although he is not my blood, since Brother Heng adopted him, he respects me as a mother and loves Dai'er. , what's wrong. If Brother Heng is an outsider, then what am I to Rongguo Mansion?" Speaking of this, Jia Min couldn't help the tears rolling down, and his tone was a little choked, Wang Gui's family hurriedly stepped forward to support Jia Min , said in his mouth: "Madam, if you have something to say, sit down and talk about it, I'm afraid you'll sprain your ankle just now." Jia Min just smiled miserably, restrained his expression, and saluted again, Fang said: "That's all, today's mother I'm not happy, so I don't want to disturb my mother, so I'll go home." After speaking, Jia Min supported Wang Gui's family and was about to go out. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his steps were still weak and unsteady.
None of these nuns is a genius, and there are many concubines who accompanied their master's womb to fight over. They hurriedly walked to the corridor, pretending to have just walked over.
As soon as Jia Min went out and saw these nuns on the porch, she hurriedly lowered her head so as not to let others see her red eyes, none of those nuns was shrewd, and they didn't show the slightest bit on their faces, they just bowed their heads to salute and say hello, but the one who took the lead Huang Nai in the palace, Princess Tiancheng's nanny, is very respectable in the palace, and she saw Jia Min's sky blue pleated skirt with some folds, slightly messy, and slightly gathered with her sleeves. The palms of both hands were red, even a little bloodshot. It could be seen that the fall was hard, and the skin might be broken. The Huang mother hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Mrs. Lin needs to see the doctor, there is nothing wrong with this hand."
Only then did Wang Gui's family realize that Jia Min's hand was worn out, and hurriedly took the handkerchief to wrap it up. Jia Min held the handkerchief and smiled gently: "It's cold, it's snowing and it's slippery. It's okay. Nummies, it's cold and you should hurry up and see the old lady."
Huang Momo nodded: "That's right, the people in Jia's mansion are lazy, they didn't even sweep the floor, and even caused their aunt and wife to fall. Be kinder, but some slaves can't do without beating."
Jia Min said a few more words, and Huang Momo said: "Mrs. Lin is so happy to go home, and the empress told our princess that she misses you. You can also go to our princess's mansion when you have time to relieve your boredom."
Jia Min agreed, and Nanny Huang and others saluted, then Jia Min turned around and left. The figure looked very graceful, but his steps were still a little unsteady, which showed that he fell hard.
The nuns bowed their heads to send Jia Min away, and then rushed to meet Jia Mu. Seeing that Jia Mu's expression was not as usual, and she couldn't even make out a smile, they hurriedly said one by one: "My master, the concubine, is sitting in the flower hall." Now, I heard that the old lady is not in good health, so I won't come here to disturb the old lady's health, but let us send a message to say hello."
Jia Mu hurriedly ordered the mandarin ducks to seal the first-class rewards, and the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart subsided a little bit, she just smiled and said: "Where is this? What do you mean? If it’s cold today, you might as well drink a few cups to get rid of the cold.”
The mothers and nuns all accepted the rewards, and after a few compliments, they left Jiamu's yard and went back to the concubines.
Jia Min put her arms around Daiyu, and finally listened to the father and son talk about the cause and effect, and then saw the indifference of the father and son. Thinking that everything was done properly, she breathed a sigh of relief and put it aside.But Daiyu still thought that Baoyu was her cousin, so she added another sentence, "Is cousin Baoyu all right?"
Lin Heng glanced at Daiyu. This younger sister was thoughtful and kind, so he waved his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, younger sister. I saw it with my own eyes, and she never hurt her bones. Then Jia Baoyu But Mr. Zheng's own son, although he is not up to the mark, how can Mr. Zheng be so hard-hearted, after all, his actions are measured, and there will be no major incidents. If Brother Jing makes a move, it is likely that he will either die or be injured."
Hearing this, Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Heng with some reproach. Only then did Lin Heng realize that he was too excited. How could he mention Jing Weihao in front of Daiyu? There are many people surnamed Jing in the capital, not the only one.Daiyu heard what her brother said, so she put her hands down and leaned on Jia Min's arms.
Lin Ruhai thought about it for a while, although he did what a gentleman would do, he was not the type to let others plan, so there was no reason not to return the courtesy.Lin Ruhai twisted his beard and tail with his hands, and revealed an inscrutable smile. Fang told Jia Min carefully: "Don't forget to ask someone about the situation of Brother Bao tomorrow. If the injury is serious If there is no need, we will send someone to deliver the wound medicine. Our family does not need to be stingy about it. Then we asked someone to bring a message, saying that we are sorry from the bottom of our hearts, and we will try our best to find a great Confucian for Baoyu, or maybe we will spend some effort to manage it. Put a lot of effort into getting Baoyu to enter the Guozi School, and get rid of this matter, and get all the relatives."
Daiyu was startled when she heard her father's words, she was originally a smart woman, so she immediately understood what her father meant.Lin Heng couldn't stop nodding. Sure enough, he still needs to learn from his father. Sure enough, Jiang is still hot when he gets old, and it can be said that the older he gets, the hotter he gets.Father's move is really a brilliant move, stepping on Jia Baoyu's painful foot!When outsiders know about it, they have to praise the Lin family for their generosity, and this Rongguo Mansion will lose its dignity even more.
Jia Min gently stroked her hair on the temples, pursed her lips lightly, and then burst into a smile.She has been husband and wife with Ru Hai for so many years, so she just nodded her head because she didn't understand what her husband meant.
Let's not talk about the Lin family.At this time, Mother Jia was talking about the palace rules with Aunt Xue with great interest, seeing Aunt Xue's extraordinarily respectful face, there was a hint of complacency on her face.
All of a sudden, the yard became noisy, and only heard the commotion of soldiers and horses. Before Jia Mu got a little angry and sent Amber to ask, she heard a very piercing cry: "Old lady, hurry up and save Second Master Bao." , Master wants to beat Second Master Bao to death!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a young servant running in half-rolling and half-crawling outside, out of breath, seeing Jia Mu as if seeing the Jade Emperor, he quickly knelt down and said, thinking about running in a hurry, he was a little out of breath when he spoke : "Old... old... old ancestor, the master is beating the second master in the study!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly stood up from her chair, only to feel that her eyes were darkened, her body was almost on the verge of falling, and her face lost all color.The sisters-in-law who were originally sitting looked at each other without speaking.Tanchun and Li Wan were very clever, and hurried forward to support Mrs. Wang together.When Jia Mu heard this, she became extremely anxious, and hurriedly picked up the sandalwood cane and slammed the ground hard, pointing at the boy and said: "You don't hurry up! What is going on!"
The young man swallowed quickly, collected himself, and then spoke in detail, explaining the situation in the study from the beginning to the end, speaking quickly and quickly, but the words were clear, especially pointing out what Lin Ruhai said those few words.The few knowledgeable sisters-in-law in the house who have already been separated from the house frowned early, and their faces were not very good-looking. How could such obscenities be said in the inner courtyard, so they hugged themselves calmly daughter or niece, so as not to dirty the girls' ears.Jia Mu couldn't care less about other things at this time, so she said to Yuanyang fiercely: "My old lady, go and see! See if he dares to beat my precious jade!"
Yuanyang is Jia Mu's confidant, knowing that Jia Baoyu is Jia Mu's heart, he hurriedly picked up the cloak, Hu Po raised the curtain early, and asked the woman in the yard to carry out the soft sedan chair, Mrs. Wang also wore a squirrel cloak, her face Tears were still dripping on his face, and he was still wiping away tears with a handkerchief, but his feet were not slow, and he didn't care about other things for a while, let alone resigning, so he stepped out of the flower hall, busy copying the nearest corridor, burning with impatience He rushed to Jia Zheng's study, not to mention that the soil became muddy due to the melting of snow, only to suffer from Tanchun and Li Wan, how could they dare not follow closely, followed by a group of maids and women, It was huge.
As soon as Mrs. Wang rushed to the door of the outer study, she heard Baoyu's cry, and her heart ached even more. The motherly heart made Mrs. Wang unable to think about other things, and she even abandoned her usual demeanor. With his heart in his mouth, he lifted his foot in, but saw Jia Zheng beating Baoyu with a rattan cane with a flushed face. He couldn't tell whether it was because of anger or beating Baoyu hard.The sound of the cane being thrown could be faintly heard, showing its strength. Mrs. Wang saw a broken ruler lying on the ground, and when she looked closely at Baoyu, she saw that the lotus-colored clothes had already seen blood, which was particularly dazzling.Mrs. Wang hurriedly broke away from Tanchun and Li Wan, threw herself on Baoyu, and defended her son tightly. Weeping and shouting: "Master, if you want to kill him, kill me first!" After that, he hurriedly held Baoyu's face with trembling hands, looking at Baoyu's ruddy face this morning. Pale and bloodless, the few scars of crimson and bleeding vines on her face almost made Mrs. Wang feel dizzy, and she fainted again, crying and slapping her chest vigorously: "Master, I have such a son at such an age, if Zhu'er still Now, I don’t care about it, Baoyu will be beaten by you, but now I am left with this useless thing, which is actually cutting off my heart alive. Pity my Baoyu! For a few words that are useless It’s like this. If you have something wrong, how can you live as a mother!”
Looking at Baoyu who had fainted in Mrs. Wang's arms, Jia Zheng thought of the dead Zhu'er again, and his heart ached unbearably. The cane could no longer be lifted, so he had to throw it aside.Before Jia Zheng could speak, Mother Jia came in angrily. Looking at Baoyu who was being held by Mrs. Wang, her heart ached, she pointed at Jia Zheng and scolded: "It's a big New Year's day, so you have to make a fuss to make people fall on their backs to be reconciled, isn't it? It’s getting better and better. Is there anyone who beats a child before the end of the new year, and Baoyu didn’t do anything wrong, so you can beat him so hard just because of an outsider’s words?” After all, Mother Jia still didn’t forget He glared at Jia Zheng a few times.
Jia Zheng has always been upright, so he never dared to contradict Jia's mother. Seeing that his mother was very angry, even his momentum was a little bit short, so he said: "I just found out today that he didn't go to school a few times a year, and he can write an article." There are so many typos, how old he is, he hasn't even finished reading the Analects of Confucius in the Four Books! It really makes me feel ashamed."
Jia Mu slapped the table next to her hard and said, "I don't care about the Analects of Confucius or Yuyu, and I shouldn't fight during the year! Baoyu is weak, and he rests at home more on weekdays, so what's the problem? How many books are missing for him to read? How can you be so cruel as a father! You actually abused your own son first."
Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng, who came with Jia Mu, did not enter the study, which is against the rules.It's just that there was a high-pitched sound in the study, not everyone heard the words, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help but glance at each other, pursed their lips, full of disdain, but just kept silent.Only Li Wan had heard Mrs. Wang's words about her deceased husband earlier, and her heart ached unbearably. She had already burst into tears, but she dared to stand aside and wipe away her tears without making a sound.
Jia Zheng stood on the side with his hands hanging down. At this moment, he was overwhelmed, and seeing Baoyu in such a state, he knew that he had beaten him hard. Naturally, he was very annoyed.
Jia's mother didn't even look at Jia Zheng, but asked the young servants to carry Baoyu into her soft sedan chair and send it to her inner room, and then take their famous cards to invite the imperial doctor.Mrs. Wang hurriedly followed, crying and crying.When the people dispersed, Jia's mother said to Jia Zheng earnestly, "You are too impatient. Don't you, a father, not know how Baoyu has always been? Don't listen to outsiders' nonsense, just ignore everything." You are just such a son. If you break it, don’t you feel bad! As for the original matter, forget it, I didn’t say it. It’s just that Lin Ruhai is too much, and he didn’t leave our family behind. Put it in your eyes, it's really hateful!"
Jia Zheng had no idea at this time, so he responded indiscriminately and sent Jia Mu out of the study in a low voice.
Not to mention how busy Mrs. Wang was, and how she asked the doctor for medicine.The sisters-in-law who were left in the flower hall asked to leave home one after another before Jiamu came back to take a breather.Now Jia Mu's mind is all on Baoyu, so she only asks Lin Zhixiao's family to send these relatives out.
Jia Zheng was so ashamed that he didn't want to go out.Mrs. Wang was afraid that the maids would not serve her carefully, and she didn't care about the few bruises on her body, so she simply guarded Baoyu day and night, so that she could take care of it carefully.Jia's mother had Baoyu's heart, and she had to ask more than a dozen times a day. She was crying in the back room all day long, and she even ate very little food, and she didn't have the energy to take care of things outside. , I don't care about it at all, it's just cheaper for Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing to host the next year's wine, and finally he has a bit of a serious royal title, the head of the family.
The next day, Lin Zhong's family got the order and ordered people to guard outside Jia's mansion early on. Afraid of missing the master's affairs, they asked her family's son Lin Ying to guard near Rongguo mansion together.Lin Ying only watched the people from the Tai Hospital being rushed into the mansion by the stewards of the Rongguo Mansion, while the gatekeepers of the Rongguo Mansion were standing, but they bent their lips disdainfully as they entered.Among them was a boy with a blue and white hidden button on his collar, touching his new hat, and with an impatient face, he swaggered and sat on the wonton stand on one side, rolled up his sleeves, and put his feet on the other bench. Looking like an old man, he spat with a face full of displeasure, and then said carelessly: "It's really bad luck! As soon as the second master Bao is beaten, we will follow suit!"
Those Huladi who like to listen to the gossip all came over with bowls at once, and looked at this boy with wide eyes. Some Xili snorted noodles, and Lin Ying was also among them, holding a bowl of big wontons , Waiting for the boy's next words.
The boy sighed first, and then vividly described what happened yesterday again, spit flying, and added a few words from time to time, shaking his head while talking, and watching the people around him paying attention. Looking at him, he was very complacent, and he didn't even know what to say. He gestured and said: "Do you know what the Analects is? That's because a boy who just went to school knows something, but our precious second master Bao is not even familiar with the Analects." What is this called?" "I also heard that Jia's family is very masculine, and it must be similar to Nanfengyuan, which is more serious than others. I just don't know if this man feels more masculine than his daughter. It's better." "Tsk tsk, about [-]% of the words in the whole article are wrong, which is worse than that scholar who writes for a living in the back street." "The master only smoked twenty or so, and the second master Bao cried in pain , still calling the servant girl’s name. It’s okay, if I get beaten, it will hurt. But our master is too delicate, so he couldn’t bear it and passed out.” “You didn’t see that weekday The dignified wife, Mrs. Wang, was crying with tears and snot." "These are not anecdotes, and there are even more funny ones. The old lady said that Bao Erye can not study at home." "This time the doctor Wang said Second Master Bao will have to stay in bed for two months, so he is extremely delicate." Waiting for the words, the eyebrows were beaming, and he was very energetic.
The common people of those small families like to listen to the gossip and rumors of these high-ranking families to pass the time. After the little guy finally finished speaking, that was really exciting. Everyone got together with a bowl in their hands. There are more than a dozen versions of the comments, which are more exciting than storytellers.
The stall owner was also happy to hear that, this time, he had a lot of stories to tell his wives and boys, and added two extra big wontons for the boy, who hurriedly lowered his head to eat the wontons, and stopped arguing.
Lin Ying was full after eating and drinking, and hurriedly stroked her belly and walked towards Lin's mansion.The boy squinted at him for a while, lifted his belt, threw down a few copper coins, and ran away immediately.
Lin Ying returned to the mansion, and told her mother what she had heard in detail. Lin Zhong's family was immediately happy, and gave her boy a half-day vacation, and she immediately trotted to tell Jia Min, and learned again. over again.
Jia Min couldn't help smiling when she heard this, she only covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and hurriedly asked someone to open the warehouse to take a few bottles of good wound medicine, and specially packed a few good things, and a small screen for Chen Xiangshou Xing , this is for Jia Mu, as for Baoyu, he found several new books and added Fang Duan inkstone.When everything was packed, he called Wang Gui's family to follow him to Jia's mansion, so that he could make amends.
Because on this day, all the people who invite you to the mansion to drink New Year's wine are distinguished guests. For example, there are old friends and hereditary families such as the Concubine Beijing, and there are also some new noble families who support each other.Mrs. Xing had never presided over the New Year's wine, so she couldn't help being a little timid, thinking that Sister Feng had taken care of the housework before, so she would definitely be able to get started, so she simply took Sister Feng by her side.Sister Feng also felt good, she didn't stand out, she just whispered something to Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Xing was embarrassed, and she felt very comfortable after being complimented by others. Wang Xifeng also got everyone's praise, which was very useful.
Jia's mother was not at ease. She only talked about Baoyu's suffering, and she kept Baoyu in mind.Those old friends were too busy to call their personal nurses to visit, so as to express their condolences.All the mothers and sisters took the order to go. They were all respectable figures in front of the master, and they all knew each other. After receiving the order, they went to Jiamu's room while talking and laughing.
At this time, Jia Min was leading people into Jia's mother's room, and no one dared to stop the aunt.Jia's mother had heard the news a long time ago, and when she heard the footsteps, she hurriedly dropped the glass, and before Jia Min entered the room, she sternly shouted: "I don't see her! If I don't want to, I'll just let it go. She's so vicious and disregards the friendship of the flesh and blood. Are you forcing my Baoyu to death?"
Not only Jia Min heard this sound, but all the nuns also heard it. They glanced at each other, stopped walking and stayed on the porch beside the yard, listening with their ears up.Rongguo Mansion originally had loose rules, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the little girls who were supposed to stay outside were nowhere to be seen, they just ate cakes and melon seeds in the next side room, waiting for orders from the sisters in the back room.
All the nuns had their own ideas, otherwise they would not be able to rely heavily on the master. One of the brave ones quietly lifted a corner of the door curtain and looked in, and saw Jia Min leaning on Jia Mu's bed with her knees bent, talking softly to the couch. Jia's mother apologized.I only heard Jia Min whispering softly: "Mother, my husband never thought that Baoyu would be beaten like this by the second brother. Baoyu's big characters were plastered all over the yard. Who would have thought that even an article had a typo?" .”
Jia's mother snorted coldly: "Now you are married and have a son and a daughter, but your wings have grown hard, and you don't care about me as a mother. It's just such a big thing. If you don't agree, forget it." .But what is Baoyu's crime, and Baoyu is going to be punished to such a degree? Just because of an outsider? I don't know who is close or close."
Jia Min only felt that these words were very harsh, and he was actually forcing himself to die. He felt so ashamed and uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what it was like for a while?Jia Min rolled up her sleeves, bit her lips, and although her tone was gentle, her face was calm, she just asked: "Does mother believe me and husband?" "It can be seen that mother does not believe me and husband." Although It is a question, but it is very certain.Mother Jia felt a little wronged, she was speechless at once, and saw Min'er's expression again, but in a blink of an eye, she thought that Baoyu could only be helped up to drink rice porridge. The grandmother was very distressed, and suddenly became angry, and suddenly pushed Jia Min away.
The soft couch stands on the steps, which is as high as a finger.Unexpectedly, Jia Min was not prepared for this. She was suddenly pushed by Jia's mother and fell to the ground. The jade bracelet made a clear and crisp impact sound.But Jia Mu didn't even look at her, she just pointed to Jia Min and said, "Don't try to coax me with nice words in front of me, why don't you go and see how your poor nephew Baoyu was beaten up by your second brother?" That skinny, jade-like little man turned out like that, he is not your son, you naturally don’t feel sorry for him, poor Baoyu is so painful that he can’t sleep all day long, how can you be an aunt? I love you for nothing After so many years, I have raised a white-eyed wolf." Jia Min's heart was half cold, he closed his eyes, and slowly opened them, a pair of clear eyes only looked at Jia's mother, Jia Min didn't call the maid to help him, just slowed down. Standing up slowly, she gave a sneer, and then regained her calm expression, she was originally a sharp person, her voice was like jewels falling into a plate, Fang said: "Mother's words are unreasonable. How old is Baoyu, Brother Heng? The Analects of Confucius is a must-read book for beginners in imperial examinations. Who would have thought that Baoyu had never read this line? Baoyu’s poems and songs, my mother praised and praised in front of me, but they are not comparable to Li Bai and Su Shi.”
Jia Min then paused again, before continuing: "For people like us, the Four Books and Five Classics are the right way, and the poems and songs are good-sounding, but they are nothing more than the end of the art. Could it be that the civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty lived only by writing poems?" No. Baoyu is the darling of the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law, and the jewel in the eyes of her mother. Could it be possible that she will become an official after the imperial examination, but can she be raised by others? I just heard that Baoyu only enters the family school a dozen times a year. Is it true? Fake? Family tradition, I am a woman who stays at home, I don’t know where, but I can always find out. What’s more, when the second elder brother beat Baoyu, Husband and Heng’er both stopped and persuaded her Yes, it's just that there are no relatives who meddle in the hands of father and son at will, which is a joke. Could it be the fault of Husband and Heng'er? It doesn't make sense."
Mother Jia has been going smoothly all these years, and she is also the top of the family's pagoda. How could she be said so, but she couldn't refute every word of Jia Min, and she only swelled up.Jia Min has long been depressed. She was thinking of mother-daughter love before, and she didn't want to say so. It's just that the clay figurine still has a temper, so she just wanted to express it quickly: "If Baoyu can make a fuss and make progress, how can he be so good?" If this happened, why did the second brother beat him! Even my mother can't have a good year."
The nuns couldn't see Jia Min's expression, but after hearing Jia Min's words, they just felt happy, as if they had won a big reward. He talked about boasting and boasting, but no matter how much he boasted, he said that he was born with jade, good luck, good fortune, and serious knowledge. I haven't seen her say a word. It's a few thousand words, but how old Jia Baoyu is now, wouldn't it be ridiculous to use it.Furthermore, although Jia Baoyu has a good face, every time he sees these nuns, he looks disgusted, and his eyes are fixed on the young girls and maids.Which one of the nuns is not human, they just don't say anything, they don't show it on the face, who makes them just slaves.
Jia Min is not a person who only wants to have fun. Seeing that Jia Mu's expression is extremely angry and ashamed, she is not afraid in her heart, so she said in a slightly slower tone: "I know that my mother was born because of a precious jade, and she regards it as precious. It’s just that he was too spoiled, which made Baoyu so useless. Could it be that mother has forgotten what happened a while ago. Brother Heng is a few years older than him, and he hasn’t seen him flirting with the maid who waits on him, doing such inappropriate things. Baoyu is ahead of Brother Heng! Besides, my mother always said that Brother Heng is an outsider. Although he is not my blood, since Brother Heng adopted him, he respects me as a mother and loves Dai'er. , what's wrong. If Brother Heng is an outsider, then what am I to Rongguo Mansion?" Speaking of this, Jia Min couldn't help the tears rolling down, and his tone was a little choked, Wang Gui's family hurriedly stepped forward to support Jia Min , said in his mouth: "Madam, if you have something to say, sit down and talk about it, I'm afraid you'll sprain your ankle just now." Jia Min just smiled miserably, restrained his expression, and saluted again, Fang said: "That's all, today's mother I'm not happy, so I don't want to disturb my mother, so I'll go home." After speaking, Jia Min supported Wang Gui's family and was about to go out. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, his steps were still weak and unsteady.
None of these nuns is a genius, and there are many concubines who accompanied their master's womb to fight over. They hurriedly walked to the corridor, pretending to have just walked over.
As soon as Jia Min went out and saw these nuns on the porch, she hurriedly lowered her head so as not to let others see her red eyes, none of those nuns was shrewd, and they didn't show the slightest bit on their faces, they just bowed their heads to salute and say hello, but the one who took the lead Huang Nai in the palace, Princess Tiancheng's nanny, is very respectable in the palace, and she saw Jia Min's sky blue pleated skirt with some folds, slightly messy, and slightly gathered with her sleeves. The palms of both hands were red, even a little bloodshot. It could be seen that the fall was hard, and the skin might be broken. The Huang mother hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Mrs. Lin needs to see the doctor, there is nothing wrong with this hand."
Only then did Wang Gui's family realize that Jia Min's hand was worn out, and hurriedly took the handkerchief to wrap it up. Jia Min held the handkerchief and smiled gently: "It's cold, it's snowing and it's slippery. It's okay. Nummies, it's cold and you should hurry up and see the old lady."
Huang Momo nodded: "That's right, the people in Jia's mansion are lazy, they didn't even sweep the floor, and even caused their aunt and wife to fall. Be kinder, but some slaves can't do without beating."
Jia Min said a few more words, and Huang Momo said: "Mrs. Lin is so happy to go home, and the empress told our princess that she misses you. You can also go to our princess's mansion when you have time to relieve your boredom."
Jia Min agreed, and Nanny Huang and others saluted, then Jia Min turned around and left. The figure looked very graceful, but his steps were still a little unsteady, which showed that he fell hard.
The nuns bowed their heads to send Jia Min away, and then rushed to meet Jia Mu. Seeing that Jia Mu's expression was not as usual, and she couldn't even make out a smile, they hurriedly said one by one: "My master, the concubine, is sitting in the flower hall." Now, I heard that the old lady is not in good health, so I won't come here to disturb the old lady's health, but let us send a message to say hello."
Jia Mu hurriedly ordered the mandarin ducks to seal the first-class rewards, and the anger and dissatisfaction in her heart subsided a little bit, she just smiled and said: "Where is this? What do you mean? If it’s cold today, you might as well drink a few cups to get rid of the cold.”
The mothers and nuns all accepted the rewards, and after a few compliments, they left Jiamu's yard and went back to the concubines.
