Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

After all, there were no outsiders around, and Lin Ruhai's sister-in-law was no one else, and Jia Zheng's words inevitably contained some complaints.

"Last night, the big brother's yard was very lively, and it was almost four o'clock before we broke up. The big brother was tired this morning, so he just rested in the room."

Jia Zhengsu knew that Jia She was greedy for beauty, and there was a concubine on the left and a concubine on the right in the room. He liked to drink with the concubines on weekdays.

Among Jia Sheji's concubines, there are many who can sing beautiful ditties. They are accompanied by wine and music, and the beauties are like flowers.

There is no need for others to elaborate on these matters, no matter how lazy Jia Zheng is in housework, he will not be ignorant of his elder brother's affairs.You only need to hear that Jia She's courtyard stopped at four o'clock, and this morning you saw that Jia She's eyes were getting darker, and his expression was getting more and more depressed, so you know it.

Lin Ruhai also knew what kind of person Jia She was, how could he not be interested?

He thought for a while, and then asked: "I just wonder what happened to the Ning Mansion last night?"

Jia Zheng pondered for a while before answering: "Brother Jing is here, so they must not dare to mess around."

Jia Jing usually mixed with the Taoist priests in the Xuanzhen Temple in the suburbs, burning alchemy and refining mercury, and did not care about foreign affairs. After the Lantern Festival at home, prepare to go to the Taoist temple.

And this period of time is already a rare time for the Ning Mansion to be clean.

Ren Jiazhen used to have fun at home, gathered a group of people to have a banquet, gambled on the wine, invited some actors and molesters as companions, he didn't dare to do such nonsense when Jia Jing was at home, so he had to entertain guests in a serious manner.

Therefore, with Jia Jing at home, Ning's mansion is not as chaotic as before.

Lin Ruhai expected Jia Zheng's answer.

He smiled and asked Jia Zheng's servants to take Chongyu to play with Jia Lan and the others. Only he and Jia Zheng were left in the study, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Second brother should have inspected Baoyu's homework a few days ago, but I don't know what to do about it? Second brother, don't say that Baoyu is still young, and he can be disciplined when he grows up. Second brother, let's look at my family Chongyu It's not that the younger brother is deliberately showing off in front of the elder brother, but it is a matter of children's discipline, which should be done sooner rather than later."

Lin Ruhai still remembers Jia Min's plan to let Daiyu and Baoyu get married in the future.It's just that Jia Min was away with him before he was alive, and he couldn't return to Beijing to meet Baoyu. He only learned of Baoyu's situation from letters, and Jia Mu, who doted on his grandson, praised Baoyu, so Jia Min had a good impression of Baoyu.

Before Jia Min died, he mentioned this time again. For this reason, Lin Ruhai was somewhat unwilling to go against his wife's last wish.

It's just a lifelong event for my daughter, how can I perfunctorily settle it?

It would be fine if that precious jade came out of the silt without being stained, but he is not lacking in dandyism, even if he is not as reckless as those absurd children of aristocratic families, he is also stubborn.And with the doting of old ladies and wives, and because of this, he lost his studies, how can he support a family in this troubled world?

Lin Ruhai is not worried about Baoyu, but considering that Baoyu is still young, maybe there is still a chance to correct it. If Baoyu can be seen to become a weapon, Lin Ruhai also hopes to get married and get married, so as to fulfill Jia Min's last wish.

Hearing Lin Ruhai's question, Jia Zheng was even more perplexed, and said indifferently: "Since he wants to study at home with Qin Zhong from the Qin family, it's just that the master in the family school will take care of him."

When Baoyu caught Zhou, he caught some hairpins and hairpins. Although he was annoyed, he felt that when his son grew up, he might indulge in sex like Jia She. But Jia Zhu was still alive at that time, and he had already entered school. The future can be expected. Jia Zheng didn't care much about Baoyu's discipline, and only let him stay with Jia's mother, and Yuan Chun enlightened him instead of finding a teacher early to teach.

Unexpectedly, there are always good and bad fortunes, but Jia Zhu fell ill during Li Wan's pregnancy and died before the fetus was born.Fortunately, Li Wan gave birth to a boy, so that Jia Zhu could not be left behind.

Therefore, Jia Zheng first tightened his discipline on Baoyu and invited a teacher to teach him.

However, Baoyu was well-behaved when he learned to read and study with Yuanchun, but when he came to his husband, he was extremely stubborn and hated reading very much, and he didn't know how much he got angry.

And because Baoyu was so loved by the old lady, my husband didn't dare to teach him anything, so he could only do whatever he wanted and try his best to make him read a few more books.Since learning like this, how can it be effective?But the old lady didn't stick to Baoyu to read some miscellaneous books. Even though Jia Zheng said several times that he wanted to use a stick, he was always stopped by Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother.

The gentleman who hired Baoyu last year insisted on going back because of family problems. Although he said that he would come back next year, Jia Zheng understood that it was because the husband felt that Baoyu was stubborn and could not continue to teach, so he wanted to go home.

He intended to find another teacher for Baoyu, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Besides, Baoyu has gone to study at home now, so he simply put this thought out.

Lin Ruhai smiled and shook his head: "Second Brother, how long has it been since you went to your Jia's house to learn?"

Jia Zheng was startled, thought carefully, and then said: "This... I can't remember it in a hurry. Probably after I got an official position through my ancestors, I never went there again."

At the beginning, I went to home to learn to study for the imperial examination. I was often worried about my homework, fearing that I would not pass the exam, so I read and read the book again and again.

He was happy for a while without taking the exam, but he became more and more confused in his position.

In the eyes of the imperial examination candidates, those who have won the official position like them are inferior.The hereditary officials and the officials who came through examination are two distinct factions.Only someone like Lin Ruhai, whose ancestors had won the title and was born in the imperial examination based on his strength, is the most recognized, and both factions can speak for themselves.

"Second brother, I won't hide it from you even today." Lin Ruhai gradually suppressed his smile, "I'm afraid I only have time to talk to you about these things today, so even if I don't think it's the New Year's Eve to discuss with you These things, but in the end can not find a more suitable time."

"Although the opening date of this year's seal is set on the [-]th, there are still more than ten days left, but I also have many colleagues who need to deal with entertainment, and I don't know how many banquets you have to attend. Besides, I will tell you when the [-]th is approaching." These words, after all, are in the first month.”

"Besides, if the decision on this matter is late, I don't know if there will be twists and turns. It's better to make it clear to you earlier and let you make plans first."

He spoke solemnly, and Jia Zheng didn't dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly asked what was the matter.

The two of them talked for a long time, and they still had to have lunch, and the servants came to pass the message, and then they stopped.

When he came out of Jia Zheng's study, Lin Ruhai was always calm and unrestrained, but Jia Zheng staggered for a moment, regained his composure, and gradually returned to normal.

The servants watched, secretly surprised, but they didn't know what the two said.

Not long after the meal, Lin Ruhai was going to take Chongyu's home.

Mother Jia wanted to keep Daiyu, and he agreed. He wanted to pick her up tomorrow, because Mother Jia said that they should let their sisters gather and play in the leisurely month of the first month. So I agreed to pick him up again on the seventh day of the month.

Jia's mother knew that she would stay soon, so she had to do so.

Mrs. Wang took Baoyu, Xifeng, mother and daughter of the Xue family, and came back at night after dinner at the Wang family.When Fang arrived at home, he immediately came to see Jia Mu.

The five of them came in together with the maids and women surrounded by them, a group of people mighty and mighty.

Baoyu just got home and heard that Miss Lin came early in the morning. She couldn't regret it, and she sighed in her heart that she shouldn't go to Wang's house today.

It's hard to show it when my mother is by, and I don't dare to go to see Daiyu without my mother and others, so I have to be patient for the time being, and finally salute Jiamu, without even changing the clothes for meeting guests. He was about to go to Jiamu's body, but his eyes were actually on Daiyu who was beside Jiamu.Genius remembered it in a second :(

Mrs. Wang wanted to drink him, but Mother Jia had hugged him lovingly and stroked him before urging him to change clothes.

Baoyu was a little bit reluctant, but it was uncomfortable to wear these clothes all the time, so she left Jia Mu's side and went to change clothes.

As soon as Baoyu left, Wang Xifeng also hurriedly laughed and said: "It's rare that Sister Lin is here today. I don't know how much I want to stay with the old lady to have fun, so that I can have a tough time with Sister Lin. I only go out for a day today. At home I don’t know what’s going on, so I need to go and see it before I can rest assured.”

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You monkey, go as soon as you want, what are you talking about here? Your sister will stay at home for a few more days, and there is still a chance."

Wang Xifeng responded quickly, and then asked when she would live, and then she left Jiamu's room and went to deal with family affairs.

Aunt Xue and Baochai are still here.

Daiyu secretly pays attention to Baochai.

Usually Baochai's clothes are mostly half-new and not old, but today because she is leaving relatives, she is wearing brand-new clothes, bright red and embroidered with gold thread.She who usually wears less luxurious accessories, today she also wears jade around her waist, gold hairpins and beads on her head, and a little rouge on her face that never wears makeup, making her more beautiful and beautiful. pole.

Daiyu sighed in her heart that Baochai was indeed a rare beauty, but she sighed even more for Baochai.

She chatted with Xiangling last night, and found out from Xiangling that Baochai really doesn't like this kind of rich and casual makeup. Apart from dressing up like this today, besides the rules of visiting other people's homes, she should have saved something to show others The idea is to let others know that although the Xue family is not as prosperous as before, it has never fallen after all, and it is still a wealthy family.

I don't know if this is Baochai's own idea, Aunt Xue's idea, or even Mrs. Wang's idea.

Daiyu least agrees that this is Baochai's claim.

Ren Baochai was talking and laughing with Jia Mu, peaceful and at ease, but Daiyu still noticed the faint tiredness in Baochai's eyes and the deep sentimentality she had been hiding.

Baoyu has changed clothes and came back. He and Daiyu are sitting beside Jiamu on the left and right.

Sitting below, Baochai watched the two of them accompany Jia Mu like a golden boy and a jade girl, and felt a sudden tightness in his chest.

Going to Wang's house today stimulated her a lot, but Daiyu and Baoyu's side by side magnified the stimulation many times.

Aunt Xue was a little tired after dealing with other wives and grandmothers for a day, so she wanted to take Baochai back to Lixiangyuan first, but she also gave Baochai an excuse to leave.

After the two left, Daiyu felt more and more dull.

Just now when Baochai was there, he occasionally spoke to her, and it was no different from the past, as if the incident at Lixiangyuan had never happened that day, which already made her feel a little bored.Now Baochai has left before he has said a few words to Baochai?

Fortunately, she still has a few more days to stay, so she will finally have a chance to find Baochai!
