The Hairpin of the Red Chamber

Baochai and Daiyu looked at each other, and after a while Daiyu said, "I can't see that he has such a heart."

Baochai said: "Don't always underestimate him. He is naturally intelligent, and we have mentioned it. It will be a matter of time before he understands this."

Daiyu said, "I didn't say anything about him."

Baochai pinched her face with a smile and said, "You didn't say anything about him, but your face did."

Daiyu let her pinch her for a while, then suddenly tilted her head and said, "Sister Bao, the big sister conferred... the concubine Xiande."

Baochai said, "Yes, what's the matter?"

Daiyu said: "Not only is she a virtuous concubine, but she is also named as a virtuous concubine by the female history as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace. In my opinion, the character of the eldest sister is also worthy of the word 'virtuous'."

Baochai realized something: "You mean... some people, right?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "The word 'Xiande' is a beautiful name, and those who are not virtuous cannot live there. Big sister is worthy of this name, who else..."

Baochai frowned again, and said: "Putting loan sharks, forcing people's lives, seizing people's property, humiliating mothers and maidservants to death, giving gifts to actors, publicizing prostitution at funerals, gathering father and son, and humiliating daughter-in-law... these things are not 'virtuous'. Things."

Daiyu said: "Exactly, if it's another family, it's fine, it's the family of the 'virtuous' concubine, heh!"

Baochai said: "It may not be the case of copying the house."

Daiyu sneered and said, "What if someone wants to sue on purpose?"

Baochai raised her eyebrows and said, "Which one are you talking about?"

Daiyu said: "My sister said that Baoyu was beaten that time for the purpose of abducting an actor from Zhongshun Palace?"

Baochai said: "There is that incident, and there is also the incident of Jin Chuan'er."

Daiyu said with a smile: "My sister has been in Jia's residence for so long, and the family members of princes and nobles have heard a lot, but have you ever heard of the name of Prince Zhongshun?"

Baochai said, "I've never heard of it."

Daiyu said: "Such an eminent prince has no contact with Jia's family at all. Don't you think it's strange?"

Baochai understood what she meant: "You mean, Prince Zhongshun and the Jia family were at odds, and because of that incident, a rift arose, so... specially collected evidence to sue his family?"

Daiyu nodded and said: "No matter how the elder sister died, she was buried as a concubine in the end. After her death, the crimes of the Jia family will only be exposed, and no one will cover them up for them. However, so many For the crime, no one was executed, at most it was the crime of confiscating the family and exile, Jia Lan has made a comeback and flourished, I am afraid that the Holy One still has some attachments for the eldest sister in his heart."

Baochai thought it was reasonable, so she nodded in agreement.

Daiyu said again: "If the Holy Majesty has some affection for the eldest sister, then the saying that the traitors killed her and the Holy Majesty ordered her to die is probably inaccurate. If we talk about women's emergencies, the most common one is... dystocia. If Eldest Sister is pregnant, it will be a time of great joy, and at this time Prince Zhongshun is impeaching her natal family, listing all these crimes, and all of them are unvirtuous, what will Eldest Sister do?"

Baochai said: "I'm afraid that with such a chaste and gentle temperament, the eldest sister will just swallow all her thoughts."

Daiyu gave her an approving glance, and continued: "Loyalty and filial piety are the most important things in today's world. A sister with such a character is not selected because of her brother's bad conduct. A big sister is only above average, but because of her majesty." Emphasizing virtue, she made a concubine, even titled "virtuous"... However, if such a concubine's family has so many unethical and lawless things, the sage who always prides himself on benevolence will definitely anger the Jia family. Elder sister is overjoyed and then shocked, and she has something to hold back in her heart, if she is too preoccupied and dies due to dystocia, the Holy Majesty will be furious, and the Holy Majesty will be furious, then the aftermath will be known."

Baochai was silent.

The two looked at each other for a long while before Baochai sighed, "No matter how we think about it, it's just speculation."

Daiyu said: "Even if my guess is not accurate, the Jia family was not defeated because of this in the previous life. In this life, as long as someone participates in the impeachment according to what I just said, I am afraid that the Jia family will not be able to keep it."

Baochai shook her head and said, "It's a good thing that Baoyu didn't go out to cause trouble. After all, Dafang and Ning's Mansion are one level away. I'm afraid that the trouble they caused will not involve Big Sister much."

Daiyu said: "Perhaps, but even if the elder sister is not difficult to deliver, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing."

Baochai understood what she meant—the palace has been a place of right and wrong since ancient times, Yuan Chun was in that shady place, without a holy family, of course he would be tortured by others, and if there were too many holy family members, it would be a disaster, if she was born again If you don't have a son, then you don't know whether it is a disaster or a blessing.However, the matter has come to this point, and the two of them have no choice but to secretly make up their minds to instigate Jia's family to separate as soon as possible.

When the two first made up their minds, Baochai felt that Jia Mu was still there and there were still a few years left, and on the other hand, although she told Daiyu clearly, she didn't want Daiyu to be involved too deeply. Recently, the knot in my heart was unraveled and exposed by Daiyu. I was surprised that the root of the broken family was buried so early, but I felt anxious. I discussed it with Daiyu immediately. First, I only said that I was lonely at home, which forced Xue My aunt went to talk to Jia's mother tactfully, and asked Baochai to live back in Jia's mansion first.

It happened that after Yuanchun returned to the palace, she issued a decree, saying that such a good garden should not be wasted, and that it is better for the sisters to live in it. Jia Mu immediately asked several girls to move in. She wanted to ask Baoyu to move in, but who knew Baoyu said that he was getting old and the rules should be established. Not only did he refuse to enter the garden, but he even begged Jia Zhengyao to move to the outer courtyard.

Why does Jia Zheng refuse to see his son's future?While trying to refuse Jia Mu, Li Baoyu lived in the front yard.

At this time, the family-speaking villa is not as luxurious as in the previous life, and there are not as many courtyards as before. Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun each have a courtyard, Li Wan and Jialan have a courtyard, Daiyu has another courtyard, and Baochai has another courtyard. It happened to be full.When Jia's mother saw that there was not enough space, and her son and grandson were determined, she didn't force her. She just asked her granddaughter to live there for the rest of her life.

It is currently scheduled to move into the garden on February [-]th. In addition to the original nurses, everyone has added two old mothers and four maids to each place. Seeing such extravagance, Baochai and Daiyu just shook their heads.

Since the two of them made up their minds to get Jia's family separated quickly, they just walked around in the past few days.In this mansion, because Baoyu is going to take part in the boy's test in February, everyone up and down is just cautious. The women and maids pass by the front yard without even daring to make a sound. If there is something good in the kitchen, it's better to finish it Jia Mu, let's do my best with Baoyu first.Even Jia Zheng restrained his usual serious face and comforted him many times, lest Baoyu be pressed too hard, which would be bad.

When Jia Huan saw that Baoyu was so powerful, it became more and more boring. Because of his young age, he could still go in and out of the inner house, so he went to his sister's house every day, begging for some money, and sometimes asking for needles and threads.At first, Tanchun felt sorry for his younger brother, so he didn't care much about it. Later, seeing that he was getting worse, he kicked him out. Then he went back to Mrs. Wang and told the mother-in-law in the garden not to let him in.

Jia Huan was humiliated by her sister, and went back to Aunt Zhao, crying and shouting, rolling and throwing a tantrum, making Aunt Zhao so angry that she rushed into the garden, got into Tanchun's room and scolded: "I'm so angry. I didn’t know that I was smart all my life, so I gave birth to such a stupid thing like you! My own younger brother, if you just want something small, you just pretend to be and shout, and the brother who was born next door, you don’t care. Hurry up to post it, give money and things, hold a hot face and just stick to the coldness of others, really haven't grown feathers yet, forget where my roots are, just pick up tall branches and fly away!"

Tanchun was playing chess with Yingchun when he suddenly saw such a move, he was taken aback for a while, and forced a smile: "What did my aunt say? Why can't I understand?" He called the servant and said: "The shameless thing, Why don't you know how to greet my aunt when she comes? Hurry up and go to the table and have tea!"

The servant came up to Aunt Zhao and said, "Auntie, let's drink tea first." But Aunt Zhao threw her, pushed her, and fell a few steps.The circles under the eyes immediately turned red, and Tanchun was only hindered, so he didn't dare to cry, so he bowed his head to apologize to Aunt Zhao, and asked her to go out again.Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhao didn't know who to tell her, but she thought she had won the scolding, so she didn't dare to speak harshly about Tanchun, so she put her hands on her hips and scolded the servant: "You are not a good person either! The girl is like this, I was taught by you little hoofs! If I don’t teach you a lesson today, you little hoofs that are ridden by thousands of people, you don’t know who is the master!" Said and went forward again Tear, that Siqi saw him, and hurried up to help, but Aunt Zhao is a shrew with great strength in her hands, she pushed Siqi away a few times, grabbed the waiter, and twisted violently.

The waiter screamed in pain, and let go of his hand to beat Aunt Zhao. Yingchun was stunned when he saw the battle, and Tanchun was so angry that his hands shook, he ordered the woman outside to come in: "Stop her!"

The woman outside was newly appointed, and she didn't know much about Tanchun's temper, so she hesitated and dared not go forward, but Tanchun's little girls rushed forward, you punched, I kicked, pushing Aunt Zhao to the left and right. Staggering, Aunt Zhao saw that she was alone and alone, she just sat down on the ground and cried: "I am a miserable person! It is like cooking oil all my life, after such an old age, it is so easy to give birth to this son and daughter He grew up so big, who knows that his son is not motivated. A daughter who doesn't even recognize her own mother and brother. When I come to talk, I don't give a face, and let the maids beat me! What do you think I have? Face? What's the point of being alive?" The crying and howling stunned the little girls, and they all stood there, waiting for Tanchun to show them off.
