[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

Jia Zheng's feelings for Lin Ruhai are complicated.They are all from aristocratic families, he thinks he is no worse than Lin Ruhai, but apart from the aspect of heirs, he is not as good as Lin Ruhai in everything.

It's a pity that he is stronger than Lin Ruhai because Lin Ruhai married his own sister Jia Min.

He often told people that if he hadn't been born in a family and won the current gifted official, he would definitely take part in the imperial examination and be nominated for the gold list like scholars all over the world.

He often expresses with regret that if it were not for the presence of Gaotang's old mother, he would definitely go to the local area to make some achievements and show off his ambitions.

After a long time, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has changed more than a dozen times. When he was still firmly seated as a member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang, he changed his face again.

what is it then?

I saw that Jia Zheng, whose official career was unsatisfactory, began to envy Tao Yuanming picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing the tranquil life of Nanshan leisurely.From time to time, he will flaunt his indifferent ambition and peaceful and far-reaching state of mind.

Now the feng shui turns, and the spring breeze is proud.I can't suppress the feeling of wanting to show off.

So after coming out of Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng proposed to visit his daughter's provincial home, but seeing Lin Ruhai who needed help to walk, Jia Zheng knew that his showing off was doomed to fail halfway.But it doesn't matter, he can still show off Baoyu.

Thinking of Baoyu's poems in the garden before and after visiting relatives, Jia Zheng felt that there was still something to show off.I just didn't expect...

Whoops, folds!

Lin Ruhai has to support the young servant in all his actions now, and today is no exception, but when he came out of Rongqingtang, Jia Lian replaced the young servant of the Lin family and supported Lin Ruhai to the Grand View Garden.

There are really few children in the family who love to read, or who are talented in reading.Baoyu is a little impatient, but it's a pity that looking at his eyebrows, he knows that his heart is not firm.There is an old lady who dotes on her, and she is from such a background. If I don't have that kind of heart, I will be too young, and it may not be good to be older.

After entering the garden, first look at the exquisite green peaks. Jia Zheng and others introduced the scenery of this area to Lin Ruhai and what the empress said when they were visiting relatives that day.

As expected of the Jia family, they have a big family and a great business.

His daughter Daiyu is still a good girl who has participated in the general election, and he is reluctant to ask her to be a master in the palace. Unexpectedly, the Jia family is willing to send their daughter into the palace to be a slave.

Thinking of his current age, Lin Ruhai couldn't understand even more.

Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is a good thing, but let the young and old of the family not be loyal to the emperor and love the country, but let a little girl be ruined, uh, oh, oh, oh, she is serving the lord, it is really an eye-opener.

Alas, she is in her fifties now, even if she is a concubine, she will be able to see her head at a glance in this life.

With a feeling of regret and sympathy, he praised Yuan Chun's poem again and mentioned it, and then Lin Ruhai followed Jia Zheng and others to Yihong Courtyard not far away.

Good guy, the girls in this yard are full of flowers and flowers, wearing gold and silver, so they dazzled Lin Ruhai's eyes.

Hearing that this is Baoyu's yard, Lin Ruhai's expression froze.After regaining consciousness, his face was even more dangerous, very dangerous.

Fortunately, fortunately, he did not agree to the marriage that the old lady mentioned.

Lin Ruhai has been an official for many years, so what's on his mind naturally won't be seen on his face.At this time, while looking at this extremely luxurious and richly furnished house, Lin Ruhai lamented the ingenious thoughtfulness of the people who built the house, and at the same time had the same thoughts as Daiyu.

Later, he also built a yard for his daughter, which was more refined.Also raise some fairy birds and different birds in the yard to relieve boredom.

At this moment, a girl gave Lin Ruhai tea, and when Lin Ruhai took the tea, he couldn't help seeing the girl who was handing the tea out of the corner of his eyes.

Seeing this, he was taken aback again.

In the eyebrows and eyes of this girl, she is [-]% similar to his family's Daiyu.At first glance, it startled him.

The girl Lin Ruhai saw was none other than Qingwen whom Jia's mother allocated to Baoyu.

In the early years, Qingwen was Jia Mu's confidant old mother Lai Momo's family and bought her as a servant girl. Because she was hard to embroider with one hand and she was very beautiful, Nai Lai moved her mind and went to pay her respects to Jia Mu. When it was time, Qingwen was also brought over.

At that time, Baoyu lived in Jiamu's green gauze closet. With his heart and nature, he would open his mouth to keep people when he saw Qingwen.So Qingwen was left by Baoyu's side.

Seeing Qingwen, Lin Ruhai's mood was not as calm as before.The feeling of burning fire in my heart was not much better than Jia Zheng who found those idle books in Baoyu's room at this time.

The maids in Baoyu's room, even if they were literate, could at best understand the bank notes and some homely characters on the house signs and plaques.They couldn't read idle books like Baoyu's.

It is precisely because of this that Baoyu placed those idle books at will.

Originally, he was worried that the sisters would find these books when they came to him, but it has been several days since they moved to the Grand View Garden, and except for the very beginning, everyone would rush to each other. red courtyard.

Originally, Shi Xiangyun was definitely going to come, but Zuo Xi was messed up because of his living habits. Every morning when he got up together, he had to cross half of the garden to go to Changcui Nunnery to offer incense, and then he had to walk a long way to Rongqing Have breakfast.Coming out of Rongqing Hall, if you take the east road to the door of Yihong Courtyard, you will have to detour back to Hengwu Courtyard.Three meals a day, at least two round trips from Rongqingtang.With so many walks every day, each of these daughters counts as one, and they are too lazy to move.

If you have the skill to go through the door, go back to bed and lie down for a while, won't he smell good?

So Baoyu, who was slack for a while, was blocked by Jia Zheng.

Baoyu was young and couldn't hide things in his heart. When he saw Jia Zheng pick up a book whose cover he had changed, he panicked.

Jia Zheng flipped through the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand twice, his eyes widened suddenly, he turned a few more pages in disbelief, and looked back and forth at the Analects of Confucius in his hand, only then did he know for sure what he was holding. what is it.

Jia Zheng suddenly turned his head to look at Baoyu, only to see Baoyu winking at a gentle-looking girl in the room.Following Baoyu's and the girl's eyes, he happened to see a book on the kang table, so Jia Zheng, who moved faster than his brain, strode over to the kang and picked up the book.

Well, it is actually a 'university'.

Inspired by this book, Jia Zheng began to search in circles around the house, finding a copy of the "Book of Songs" here, and taking out a copy of "Mencius" there.What shocked Jia Zheng the most was not the "Zuo Zhuan" and "Chunqiu", but the fact that the "Three Character Classics" had been desecrated.

Baoyu's whole body is not well, and his heart feels cold.

Baoyu's face turned pale as his father dug out his treasures for many years one by one.

This time he looked at Xiren again, and Xiren finally understood what Baoyu meant.

Just now Xiren really didn't understand what Baoyu meant. In her opinion, Baoyu's study and progress is a good thing.But now, seeing Jia Zheng's movements, his livid face, and Baoyu's overwhelmed despair, Xiren belatedly realized that there might be something wrong with these books.

So accepting Baoyu's look for help, Xiren walked out of the house bit by bit, went outside and pulled a girl wearing a crimson scarf and said quickly, "Go and tell the old lady, the master is going to have a seizure."

As soon as Xiaohong heard this, she didn't need to explain anything to Xiren, she turned around and ran out.

Seeing Xiaohong's background completely disappear within the range of Yihong Courtyard, Lin Ruhai squinted his eyes, and when he turned around, the teacup in his hand slipped from his hand. With a crisp sound, the strange silence in the room was broken, and everyone He also recovered from all kinds of well-known guesses, and turned his gaze to Lin Ruhai.

As for Lin Ruhai, when everyone was looking at him, he was already caressing his chest, lowering his eyes and slowly falling towards Jia Lian beside him.

"like the sea~"

"Uncle Lin~"

Seeing Lin Ruhai collapsed, everyone was startled, so those who watched the excitement stopped reading, those who were looking for books stopped looking, and gathered around Lin Ruhai.

Lin Ruhai leaned against Jia Lian, closed his eyes for a while, and then opened his eyes and smiled weakly at the young and old in the room.

"I made you laugh." The smile was weak, and the voice was extremely weak, "My body will recover after a short rest."

Seeing this, the two Shezheng called for someone to carry the soft sedan chair again, and then helped Lin Ruhai to get on the soft sedan chair, and sent him to rest in a wing room in the front yard.

"The medicines prescribed by the imperial physician are all we take at home, but we will keep them." Hearing Jia Zheng and the others ordering the imperial physician, Lin Ruhai said that there is no need for it, "I came to the house today, maybe I have traveled a lot, see The old lady and the two uncles couldn't help but recall that year, and their mood was unstable, so...you don't need to worry too much, and you can recover after a short rest."

It's only a few steps away?

Everyone knew that Lin Ruhai's body was crippled, but they didn't expect Lin Ruhai's body to be so brittle.Seeing him like this, not to mention Jia She and others, even Jia Zheng who was confused by his son had no choice but to take care of Lin Ruhai first.

Lin Ruhai rested on the soft couch for a quarter of an hour, and then he recovered.But the people didn't dare to tell him to be tired, and they didn't go shopping in the garden anymore, they just asked people to pass it on to the table.

Coming up to the table, Lin Ruhai said a few heartfelt words to Jia Zheng when there was only Jia Zheng around.

At first, she envied him for having a good daughter, and then she envied him now that he has both sons and daughters, with flourishing descendants.Finally, Baoyu was mentioned.

"At that time, I saw that the second brother's expression seemed to be wrong, but what's wrong with those books?" Lin Ruhai said slowly after taking a sip of ginseng tea, "We all lived from Baoyu's age, Who hasn't been naughty when they were young. After a while, it would be nice to be older. I remember that when I was as old as Baoyu, I also liked to read idle books. After reading a "Chu You Diary", I went out arguing. Our master I was so angry that I discounted such a thick stick, and then I took it easy. From now on, I can take the imperial examination with peace of mind, and I don’t hear anything outside the window."

"Mr. Xiake's travel notes, Zheng has been yearning for it since he was a child." Because of Lin Ruhai's interruption, Jia Zheng didn't bother to lose Baoyu immediately.But it's only temporary.Hearing Lin Ruhai mention a certain travel note by Xu Xiake at this moment, Jia Zheng also remembered that he had read this kind of idle book, but was Baoyu reading this kind of book?

Those obscene words and slang words have not only changed their temperament.

Lin Ruhai took his daughter to visit relatives, the last thing he wanted to see was such a mess in the relatives' house.If you want to fight or make trouble, after the two of them leave, you can do whatever you want.If you are making trouble now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for us father and daughter.

However, Lin Ruhai felt that he was an old man, and he could quite understand Jia Zheng's desire for his son to become a dragon.

"Don't be too hasty." Considering Jia Zheng's not-so-great intelligence, Lin Ruhai thought about it and reminded Jia Zheng from the side.If you want to teach your son, how can you shout and kill in the garden where the imperial concubine visits her relatives?

Of course, it can't be in the mansion.Why do you say?The old lady dotes on Baoyu, so if she gets the news, can you stop her?

Therefore, his suggestion is to take Baoyu out of the mansion to clean up.

After the beating is over, if the person is left outside the mansion to recuperate for a few days, even if the old lady finds out, time has passed.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Ruhai to say it so bluntly, but that is what it means.

Jia Zheng looked at Lin Ruhai as if he had been enlightened, and he still thought about pity him for his experience in raising children, but he didn't know if it could be used.

People help you, but you think in your heart that they will not live to the day when their son grows up, what kind of person is this?

Lin Ruhai was immediately annoyed by Jia Zheng's eyes.

Suppressing his anger, he talked about Qingwen to Jia Zheng.

"I just saw a girl in my nephew's room, she looks a bit like Yu'er. Ruhai has an unfeeling request here, and I hope my second uncle will fulfill it."

Jia Zheng was not stupid enough, Lin Ruhai knew what he wanted to do as soon as Lin Ruhai said this.So he quickly told Lin Ruhai that he was negligent, and then sent someone to inform Mrs. Wang, asking her to find out the identity of the girl Lin Ruhai mentioned, and when Lin Ruhai went to her house, Lin Ruhai would take both the person and the identity away.

"So, I have to thank my second uncle."

……

Xiaohong ran to Rongqing Hall, panting heavily, and taught Mother Jia what Xiren told her to pass on.When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't sit still immediately, and hurried to Yihong Courtyard with her people in a panic.

Before reaching the gate of the garden, she got the latest news again, so the relieved Mother Jia also slowed down her journey.

I took people all the way to Yihong Courtyard, first I saw Baoyu sitting there dejected, and then I saw Xiren standing in front of the carbon basin burning books.

After asking what was going on, Baoyu, Xiren and all the maids in the room were silent.Mother Jia turned her eyes to the unburned book next to the charcoal basin, and asked Yuanyang to pick one up for her to read.

After hearing that book, Mother Jia still didn't understand anything.

He was so angry that he wanted to scold Baoyu, but he couldn't bear it.He wanted to scold Xiren and some big girls, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment, Sister Feng came over and said that the old man in front had passed the banquet, and asked the old lady if there would be a banquet here.

"I just said that my aunt is a lucky person. She caught up with the excitement today. When I first came here, I met her. She said she was going to greet the old lady. I said that the old lady had entered the garden. She said she called Mrs. Come in together."

Sister Feng coaxed Jia Mu with a smile on her face, but she didn't seem to notice the atmosphere in Baoyu's room. "However, my aunt is not good at hearing. The old lady praised that senior official named Xiao Dan to lose her voice, and she will definitely not be able to sing today."

The 500 taels of silver were collected, so the Lingguan couldn't sing naturally.

Not only can she not sing today, she will not be able to sing in the future.

Sister Feng told Jia's mother that the senior official had lost his voice, and told others that the senior official had fainted from illness and was going to be taken out to see a doctor. At this moment, Sister Feng had already been drugged and passed out, and she was sent to Zuo Xi to have someone stop at the back door of Jia's house. in the carriage.

Zuo Xi only just realized that Shi Xiangyun was here, and Jia's mother asked someone to clean up the stage.Fearing that Shi Xiangyun, who was so angry at her and Daiyu's partnership just now, would point at the senior official and compare Daiyu to an actor, embarrassing Daiyu, so he hastily took out 500 taels of silver notes and asked Yinger to go to Sister Feng buy people.

Ying'er paid for it, and Sister Feng contributed for her efforts, and Ling Guan was stunned by a large bowl of medicine and carried out of Lixiangyuan.

The carriage was temporarily hired by Yinger from the street, but it did not delay the normal use.

After giving the money and giving the address, Ying'er took the two women from the Zhuijin Tower to send Lingguan to Lin's house.

One can imagine Daiyu's expression when she comes home at night and sees Lingguan.

It's really hard to say.

After Daiyu returned home, she first took a look at Qingwen, who was swollen like a walnut from crying, and then looked at Lingguan, who was also crying non-stop, with a headache.Brain bouncing pain.

It's nothing.

A girl who thinks she looks pretty good suddenly finds that she has become the face of the public.And it's the kind of public face that can be seen everywhere.

Whoever puts it on, the mood will be a little subtle~

→_→

Without the age officer, Zuo Xi would no longer know what mood and intentions Sister Feng was in when she said those words.But that doesn't matter, at least you don't have to be so angry by Shi Xiangyun's outspokenness and outspokenness.And now she is more concerned about whether Jia Zheng will clean up Baoyu in the future.

Baoyu couldn't hide this matter from others, at first Daiyu stayed in Zhuijinlou to talk with Zuo Xi and others, and then heard that Mrs. Lin fainted, Mrs. Lin was carried out of the garden and so on.

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't sit still, she got up and ran outside.But before leaving Zilingzhou, there was a girl in the front yard to pass the news to Daiyu.

It was Lin Ruhai who was worried that Daiyu would be anxious after hearing the news, so he asked someone to pass the message of his well-being to Daiyu.

The father and daughter still had a tacit understanding. Although Daiyu was worried about Lin Ruhai, she knew that Lin Ruhai should be fine.

Otherwise, how can I not invite the imperial physician, not go home, and insist on staying for dinner.

The problem is that people can drink alcohol at dinner, but he still eats it abstaining from alcohol.

After another quarter of an hour, Baoyu was caught reading idle books by Jia Zheng. It happened that Uncle Lin fell ill and saved Baoyu from being beaten. The news also vaguely spread throughout the garden.

So at this moment, Daiyu was quite sure that her father was pretending to be sick.

'It's a pity~'

What a pity.

Just think about how Jia Zheng became angry and yelled at Baoyu to be beaten and killed. Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian, Lin Ruhai and others had to stop him as if to entertain him. If you hit it twice, Jiamu, who has won the letter, will descend from the sky like a savior.At the same time, Mrs. Wang would rush over, holding Baoyu and crying for Jia Zhu.

If Jia Zhu was still alive, she wouldn't feel sorry for killing Baoyu.

After that, Mother Jia yelled at Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang cried while hugging Dingyu, and orphaned and widowed Li Wan and Jia Lanniang cried...that scene could be as chaotic as it could be.

Not to mention the embarrassment of the Lin family father and daughter who came to visit today, even Zuo Xi and the others are also embarrassing.

It is also possible to blame the Lin family afterwards.

Therefore, even if Lin Ruhai didn't know the virtues of the Jia family's daughters, his official position in those years was not for nothing, nor was the son-in-law of the Jia family for nothing. Everyone's character is figured out.

At this time, Baoyu was not beaten, and the atmosphere in the whole Rongguo Mansion was in harmony.

The old and young men in the front yard were drinking and listening to the opera, and among the women in the back yard, Baoyu, who dared not show his face in the front yard, all gathered in the Xiujin Pavilion of the Grand View Garden.

There is only one word difference between a Zhuijin Tower and a Zhuijin Pavilion, but it is always easy to confuse people.

When Zuo Xi sat down next to Daiyu, he was thinking that in the future there would be a lot of big and small banquets, and confusion would easily cause trouble, so it would be better to just spread the word about Zilingzhou in the future.

"That's what makes it so." After all, only Zuo Xi lived in the entire Ziling Continent.After hearing this, Daiyu whispered her approval of Zuo Xi's decision.After finishing speaking, he took another look at Baoyu, who was sitting in front of Jia Mu, who looked listless, "Do you think the second uncle will do it?"

Zuo Xi blinked a few times, nodded and glanced at Tan Chun.

Daiyu also followed Zuo Xi's line of sight to secretly glance at Tan Chun, and when she looked back at Zuo Xi, she nodded understandingly.

Understood.

The struggle between wives and concubines, the struggle between the concubine and the concubine, Aunt Zhao will not let go of this opportunity.

"Look at Sister Lin and Sister Bao. I don't know where they are whispering so much." Shi Xiangyun sat down in front of Baoyu and said with a smile, "I will go home tomorrow, and I won't see you bothering me." ...or a sister."

"Coincidentally. I just told you, Sister Lin, that Sister Yun is going home tomorrow. When she comes home at night, don't forget to say a few more words to Sister Yun."

Zuo Xi answered the words quickly and smoothly, what's more, she followed what Shi Xiangyun said.

But what Shi Xiangyun said was 'catch tomorrow', while Zuo Xi directly forced people to go to Liangshan and said 'tomorrow'.

Shi Xiangyun was already sensitive to these things, and it was her who provoked her, so he naturally recognized the "general" in Zuo Xi's sentence.Gritting his back molars tightly in anger, he roared in his heart.

"Sister Yun wants to go home?" He was arrested for reading idle books, and was almost fined for this. Although Baoyu was left in the garden by Jia's mother, he still held on to his heart.

At this time, everyone sat in the pavilion to listen to the opera and eat the banquet. Because of the previous incident, Baoyu became less relaxed.Very well-behaved and honest.Especially when looking at Daiyu, Baoyu dared not approach her.She was afraid that Daiyu would get tired of him knowing what kind of idle books he was reading.The second one is also afraid that what the cousin Zuo Xi will say will make him unable to come down.

Now I heard that Shi Xiangyun will go home tomorrow, so Baoyu can't sit still.

Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun were also childhood playmates, and they often heard Shi Xiangyun say how unsatisfactory her life in Shijia was.He is also a considerate personality of version 0.5, so naturally he is keeping customers in various ways at the moment.

Shi Xiangyun didn't want to leave at first, but Baoyu kept him there, hesitating and hesitating, so he looked up to see Jiamu.

Mother Jia couldn't understand the thoughts of these little girls, she was willing to go along with them even in innocuous matters.Seeing Shi Xiangyun like this is a big deal to keep guests.

'Look, it's self-defeating. '

'What is this? It's not my home.I will go to Hongluo Temple in two days, will you go? '

Daiyu thought for a while, then shook her head, "Let's see." She is in charge of housework now, and her father and younger brother are like that, so it's not very convenient to go out.

After the banquet, Daiyu left with Lin Ruhai.Baoyu really wanted to keep Daiyu here, but he didn't really understand anything, who could stay and who couldn't, it was like a mirror in his heart.

Watching Daiyu leave helplessly, a sense of grievance arose in his heart:

He hasn't spoken to sister Lin today.

……

With red eyes, Jia Zheng slapped the unburned books at Baoyu's face, looking at Baoyu as if he was killing his father and enemy. "Come here, beat me hard."
