Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Before entering Jia's mansion, Chongyu had been admonishing himself, don't rely on seeing the Dream of Red Mansions, just think that you have a foresight and do whatever you want.

In his previous life, he had been ups and downs in the business world for many years, and once fought with a group of old foxes in his family. The best lesson he learned was to be cautious in everything.When he came to the Jia Mansion in the Red Mansion today, he actually faced more than a group of housewives.The possible house struggle in the Red Mansion is his crisis on the surface, but the surging tide in the dark is the struggle between the government and the opposition in the entire Red Mansion environment.

Jia Min's assassination, for him, was the greatest vigilance, far better than listening to Lin Ruhai in the study that part of the book was left by Teacher Ruhai, which made him understand that this world is not the world of his previous life.There is imperial power here, and there are evil lords who are far away from Kyoto.

Lin Ruhai never mentioned it to him. He just guessed something keenly from Lin Ruhai's melancholy when he mentioned the teacher on the night when he first arrived at the Yangzhou mansion. See the comments left by Teacher Lin Ruhai.

That gentleman is indeed a great Confucian of the last generation, but Chongyu feels that in this day and age, many people must not like what he said.Mr. Pianna passed away, and his relics were left with Ruhai, and Chongyu had never heard of Ruhai's dealings with his fellow disciples, so Chongyu had to suspect the cause of Mr. Na's death.

But Chongyu was young and had countless questions in his mind, so he was not allowed to ask Lin Ruhai, so he could only keep it in his heart and pay attention everywhere.

Before he went to Beijing, Ruhai mentioned some high-ranking officials in the capital to him, but they were only briefly mentioned, without too much analysis.Chongyu still only perceives the undercurrent surging in the capital thanks to the keenness cultivated in his previous life.

Of course, Chongyu doesn't need to pay too much attention to the affairs outside Jia's house. His current troubles are still inside Jia's family, such as Mrs. Wang, such as Jia Baoyu who has not yet appeared.

While Chongyu was thinking about it, Wang Xifeng had already finished answering Mrs. Wang.Mother Jia ordered two old nuns to take Daiyu and brother to see two uncles.

Chongyu had known for a long time that the two uncles were not destined to meet today, but Daiyu didn't know it. With anticipation and apprehension, she got up with Mrs. Xing, who offered to take her, and left Mrs. Wang.

Entering Jia Amnesty's main room, there are groups of concubines and maidservants in beautiful clothes.

Daiyu sat down with Chongyu, and Mrs. Xing ordered someone to go to the study to ask Jia Amnesty, but Jia Amnesty replied that they had been ill for several days, and they were sad to see each other, so they couldn't bear to see each other for the time being.I also advised Daiyu sister and brother not to be sad and homesick. Here is the same as at home. Brothers and sisters can also relieve some troubles by being with each other.

Mrs. Xing sat with Daiyu and her brother for a while, and left the two of them for dinner. It was Daiyu who answered one by one, saying that she still had to see her second uncle, so Mrs. Xing ordered Daiyu and her brother to be sent to Mrs. Wang. .

When I arrived at Jia Zheng's courtyard, there was no owner in the main room.Chongyu thought for a while, and recalled that the Dream of Red Mansions mentioned that Mrs. Wang's daily life is in the three side rooms to the east of the main room.

Daiyu and Chongyu sat on chairs after the old nuns invited them.The girls brought tea, but before they finished drinking, another girl came and asked Daiyu and his brother to go to Mrs. Wang with a smile.

The old mother led Daiyu and her brother to the three small main rooms in the east corridor.

A kang table is set horizontally on the front kang, books and tea sets are placed on the table, and half-old blue satin backrests and pillows are set on the east wall and west.

Mrs. Wang sat on the west side and lowered her head. Seeing Daiyu's sister and brother coming, she hurriedly let them sit down.

Daiyu saw that there were three chairs slipping away from the kang, so she sat down with Chongyu on the chairs.

Mrs. Wang said: "Your uncle is fasting today, see you later."

She looked at Daiyu first, and said, "Girl, I just have one thing to tell you: your three sisters are all very good. In the future, you will be able to read, read, needlework together, or laugh at me occasionally. But there is one thing I am most worried about: I have a culprit who is the devil in this family. I went to the temple to restore it today, and I haven’t come back. You will know it when you see it at night. You just ignore him in the future, you people The sisters dare not mess with him."

Daiyu often heard her mother say that her second aunt had a cousin who was born with jade in her mouth. She was extremely stubborn and hated reading.

When she heard Mrs. Wang say this, she knew it was her cousin Jia Baoyu.He just remembered what his younger brother Chongyu had said to him on the day his mother was assassinated.Only then did she realize that the familiarity she felt that day was exactly what her mother described Baoyu.But what Chongyu said was worse than what his mother said.

She laughed and said, "Auntie is talking about this elder brother who was born by Mianyu?"

She wanted to mention it again, but when she was at home, she heard her mother often say that although this elder brother is very stubborn, he is very good in sisterhood.

Thinking of what Chongyu said earlier, Daiyu hesitated for a while, accepted these words, and continued: "Since I am here, I will naturally be with my sisters. Brothers are naturally in another room in another courtyard. Why should I mess with them?" reason?"

Mrs. Wang laughed and said: "You don't know why! He is different from others. He was loved by the old lady since he was a child. He used to be with his sisters and was pampered. If the sisters ignore him one day, he will be quieter. It's not interesting, but he went out of the second door, took his two or three young children secretly to vent his anger, and it was over after a while. If the sisters talked to him one more word this day, he felt happy and gave birth There are so many things. So I ask you not to pay attention to him. Sometimes he speaks sweet words, sometimes he is full of days, sometimes he is crazy and foolish, just don't believe him."

After Madam Wang finished speaking, she turned to Chongyu and asked: "Brother, you heard it too. In the future, you should just pay no attention to the devil king of my family, so as not to learn from him badly."

Daiyu and Chongyu agreed one by one.Mrs. Wang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a maid.

When Jiamu began to pass the dinner, Mrs. Wang hurriedly took Daiyu and her brother to Jiamu's backyard.

Jia's family is large, unlike Lin's family, which is clean and simple. When eating, the big family shows its rules.

Daiyu and Chongyu used to be at home, with only four masters in total, and they were first in the remote south far away from Kyoto, and then in Yangzhou, but because of Lin Ruhai's official position, they usually communicated with many merchants, and they didn't pay much attention to it in daily life. But this doesn't mean that the Daiyu siblings don't understand everyone's rules.

When Jia Min was alive, he often taught the two of them, and often talked about how he spent his time in his natal family. Therefore, Daiyu and Chongyu responded appropriately.

It's just that things that are not in line with the habits of the family, the two of them will inevitably have to change them one by one.

After dinner, Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang to leave with Li Wan and Xifeng, leaving only Daiyu and Sanchun to gossip.

When Jia's mother asked Chongyu about his studies, Chongyu sighed: "I was very sick when I was young, but now I am better, but after all, I have delayed my school time. So far, I have just finished reading "Four Books" and "Five Classics". part."

When he spoke, his face was clearly childish, and he couldn't hear the slightest showing off, but he seemed to really think that he was slow in reading and was annoyed.

But Mother Jia felt her heart was stabbed.

Just finished the four books?Have you started studying the Five Classics?

Thinking about her precious jade again, Jia's mother became more and more helpless.This person compares others, doesn't he compare his own children?

Ask Daiyu again, and Daiyu also said that with her younger brother, after the husband finished reading the four books, Jia's mother became more and more annoyed and had nowhere to go.

For this reason, when Daiyu asked the sisters what books they read, Jia's mother only said: "What kind of book are you reading? It's just that you can recognize two characters, not a blind man with his eyes open!"

Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.The servant girl came in and said with a smile, "Baoyu is here."

Daiyu was wondering: how did this Baoyu give birth to such a lazy person, an ignorant and naughty child? ——It’s all right if I don’t see that fool!

Daiyu was thinking in her heart, when she suddenly saw that the servant girl hadn't finished reporting, a young son had already entered.

When she first saw it, Daiyu was startled: it's so strange, it looks like she's seen it somewhere.How familiar it is!

Baoyu had greeted Jiamu, and when she heard that Jiamu ordered him to see his mother, she turned around and went.

When he came back again, he had already changed into a suit of clothes.At this time, Mother Jia's annoyance at his poor study faded away, and she just smiled and said, "I took off my clothes before the outsider saw me. I still don't want to see your younger siblings!"

Baoyu had seen Daiyu and Chongyu's sisters and brothers before, and now he came to bow to Jiamu at the order.

After returning to his seat, Baoyu carefully read the descriptions of the Lin family siblings.

Chongyu is already very handsome at a young age, but Daiyu is even more different: two eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy.Two dimples are born in the state of worry, and the disease of being delicate is attacked all over the body.Tears dripped, panting slightly.When you are quiet, you are like a delicate flower shining in the water, and when you are in action, you are like a weak willow supporting the wind.The heart has one more opening than the stem, and the disease is like Xizi's three points.

After Baoyu looked at it, he smiled and said, "I have seen this sister before."

Jia Mu also laughed: "But it's nonsense again. How have you ever seen her?"

Baoyu laughed again, but his eyes were still looking at Daiyu: "Although I have never seen her before, but I look at Mianshan, and I think I am an old acquaintance in my heart. Today I just want to meet again after a long distance, and it is not impossible."

Jia's mother was happy in her heart, and said repeatedly: "If so, we will be more harmonious!"

Jia's mother never told anyone else, but as early as she made up her mind to take Daiyu's siblings home, she first thought of letting Baoyu marry Daiyu in the future.

She had always loved Jia Min, and when she learned of her daughter's death, she was most worried about her granddaughter's future, even her grandson was left behind.Mother Jia is only worried that her granddaughter's husband's family will be bad for her granddaughter because she lost her mother when she was young. It is better to marry into her own family, so that she can take good care of her while she is alive.Even if he went by himself, and the father-in-law is the granddaughter's uncle, that's okay, there must be someone protecting the granddaughter.

At this time, I heard Baoyu say that looking at Daiyu's kind face, she wants to treat her as a farewell reunion, how can she not be happy?

As long as the two children are in harmony, she will be at ease!

I saw Baoyu walking towards Daiyu again, and wanted to sit down beside Daiyu.

Chongyu didn't want to, so she got up quickly, took Baoyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Second brother Bao, do you want to sit with me? Just now my grandmother asked me what book I read, so I also want to ask Baoyu Second Brother, what books have you read now? If you can study with Second Brother Bao in the future, that would be the best."

He pushed and gave way, and he had already forced Baoyu to sit beside him.

Baoyu never thought that he had other thoughts. Although he complained that he had no chance to talk to Daiyu, he didn't think of him.
