Red Mansions: My Book is Cool

"Ying'er, how are your wife, uncle, and grandma? Is the business at home going well?" Xue Baochai asked with concern. Ying'er's husband was sent to Jinling to work, so she took the opportunity to let Ying'er go with her to help her. Sending some things home, mainly to visit her mother and elder brother on her behalf, Xue Baochai has always been thinking about her family.Ying'er had been serving at Xue's house before, so it was convenient for her mother to talk to her if she had anything to say.

"It's all good. My wife's body and bones are not as good as before, but the uncle and grandma are filial, and her spirit is not bad. The uncle is quite stable now, and he dare not go out to mess around anymore. With the master taking care of him, no one will make things difficult for him. Doing business step by step, although it is incomparable with before, life is still going well. Grandma has a baby, and the doctor said that it is likely to be a boy. Both the wife and the uncle are very happy, and they are very nervous all day long. Watch the grandma carefully I will support my health. The medicinal materials you sent are suitable for use, and the eldest grandma wants a servant to thank you!" Yinger replied.

"That's good." Xue Baochai was very relieved when he heard the words, and sighed: "I have experienced so much, and I have seen it. Safety is a blessing! My uncle suffered a lot when he was exiled, but at least he was able to preserve his flesh and blood. It’s a great fortune for the family to be reunited at last! After this ordeal, he didn’t dare to cause trouble anymore, and settled down. Although he is a little poor, there is always something to eat!”

As he said that, he was happy for Xiangling again: "Sister-in-law, it's not easy in her life. I hope she will become a man in one fell swoop and raise her children well. In the future, even if the uncle reverts to his old ways, don't pay attention to him. He will be reliable for life. From now on, I will Talk to your mother, when the child is born, you must not be too coddled, it will be terrible if you develop the temperament of the uncle, that is "

She swallowed the following words, and then changed the topic: "In a few days, Mr. Jia Congjia will return to the capital to serve as a household doctor. He will pass through Gusu on the way to Beijing. The master has kindly invited him to buy wine for him." , and knowing that he was old with the Xue family, he said that I should know a little about his preferences, and ordered to order a suitable gift. I was thinking about it, Yinger, you came back just in time, so help me think about it." .

"Yes, girl." Ying'er agreed, and couldn't help sighing: "Uncle Cong has gone back to be an official in the capital, won't he come back in the future, Mr. Ru and Mrs. Ru will also go back with him? His official career is also very smooth. "

"That's right. He is a second-class Jinshi, and his starting point is higher than others. The master came from a family and has been an official for so many years. His current official position is not as good as him! He is also capable in political affairs and economics. Yes, and with the help of his master, his future prospects are limitless! In a few days, his family will come to Gusu, and the master has told him to treat him well!" Xue Baochai smiled slightly, and her husband was very fond of Jia Cong. Being attentive, I also thought that I could use this to build a good relationship with Jia Cong.She knew in her heart that her husband was superior because he was diligent and careful, and could be promoted step by step, but limited by the fame and aptitude of his birth, he would be like this in the future, and it would be almost impossible to be promoted to the fourth rank or above.But Jia Cong has a bright future and great potential!

"Girl, my wife even asked me to bring you back four taels of bird's nests, all of which are high-quality blood swallows, and told you to make up your body." Ying'er hurriedly opened the package beside her, ready to show it to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai glanced at it: "No need to take it, wrap it up quickly. Now this blood swallow is rare, so let's give it to Grandma Ru."

"Yes, girl." Ying'er wrapped the package in her hand deftly, and chatted with Xue Baochai, "The fate of Mrs. Ru and Mrs. Ru is also good! Back then, when Mr. Rui died, who didn't say that they would be extinct now?" , There is no hope. In the future, there will not even be a paper burner in front of the grave. Who would have expected that suddenly the will will be bright, and that Uncle Cong will be able to succeed him? Nowadays, there is a promising grandson who is an official, and everyone should honor him 'Old Master', 'Old Lady', that attire looks like a rich and blessed person, and there are even great-grandchildren under his knees, and Mrs. Cong and his wife are filial to them. I heard that if Mr. Cong's official rank is raised, You will be able to grant Grandma Rutai the imperial order of fourth-grade pleasantness. Grandma Rutai may never imagine that she will still have Feng Guanxia wearing her upper body in this life!"

"This is the impermanence of the world, and the unpredictable timing! It is also the blessing of Master Cong who has always treated Master Cong kindly!" Xue Baochai sighed softly.She suddenly thought of Jia Mu, who lived a life of prosperity and happiness, but finally died in misery and silence. The joys and sorrows of life are really unpredictable!

"Girl, on the way back to Gusu with the head of the family, I saw a wandering monk in black and rough clothes. He looked vaguely like Jia Baoyu!" Ying'er thought and thought, but finally dared not hide it, and stammered Said to Xue Baochai.

"Jia Baoyu!" Xue Baochai said with a trembling heart, looking at Ying'er suspiciously.

After the Jia family ransacked the house, many things happened one after another.Jia Lian independently manages the family business and bears the food and clothing expenses of the family. Seeing that Jia Baoyu has been doing nothing, and Jia Muwang's wife treats him specially, he has long been upset.Two years later, Jia's mother died of illness in depression and sorrow. Jia Lian also accumulated some money in his hands. With the support of Mrs. Xing, he separated from the second room, bought a small house, and took Mrs. Xing and sister Qiao alone. Heping'er has moved out, and he only cares about his own house, and he doesn't want to care about other people's lives.

After Jia Lian left, Li Wan also used Jia Lan's desire to study as an excuse, collected his dowry, and took Jia Lan south to join his father.None of the remaining women and children could take care of the family business, and the farms and shops that Jia Lian had allocated to them were gradually worn out.The family is in dire straits, so Mrs. Wang puts her abacus on Tanchun and Xichun.

Tanchun was betrothed by Mrs. Wang to a wealthy businessman as his wife and demanded a lot of dowry.The businessman took a fancy to Tanchun's background, and also liked Tanchun's ability and beauty, so he readily agreed.Tanchun, who had only become a high-spirited woman, became a businessman she never liked in her heart. After getting married, she followed her husband to other places soon, and was never heard from again.But according to Tanchun's heart, no matter what the situation, she will try her best to make herself live well.

Xichun didn't want to be at the mercy of Mrs. Wang and Youshi, and angrily left her family.Jia Huan went to redeem Aunt Zhao early and went out to live by herself.He has quite a few friends outside, who help the villagers start business and can support the mother and son.Youshi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had nowhere to go, so they had to stay, and worked as female celebrities every day to supplement the family.

Jia Baoyu let the situation around him fluctuate, and he always watched indifferently, showing no signs of sadness or joy.One day, when the sky was gloomy and the wind and rain were dark, Lin Daiyu passed away on that day, and Jia Baoyu suddenly disappeared.Mrs. Wang and others searched everywhere, but there was no trace of him. She was so sad that she didn't want to eat, and she was almost blind from crying.A few months later, Jia Zheng was released from exile because he was not responsible for the crime and was granted an amnesty.

That day, Jia Zheng stood at the bow of the boat, his heart was like an arrow.It was snowing goose feathers in the sky, and the sky and the earth were all white, and the boat had already docked and dared not move forward.He thought that he was full of guilt and was about to reunite with his wife and children whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and he was excited.Alas, I don't know if they are doing well, although they will be down and out in the future, at least the whole family can be reunited in one place.

At this time, he saw a person dressed as a family member, wearing a big red cloak, surrounded by a monk, came to the shore, bowed deeply to him three times, and followed without saying a word. The monk flew away.That person is obviously Jia Baoyu.Jia Zheng was very anxious, shouted repeatedly, got off the boat in a hurry to chase after him, fell down several times on the snowy ground, but still couldn't catch up, and the three of them were nowhere to be seen. Floating on the lonely snow field.

"Isn't it him!" Ying'er sighed.Baoyu left his parents and became a monk regardless. Jia's family searched hard for several months, but he was never seen again.Mrs. Wang was so sad that she couldn't afford to get sick. After more than a year, she died of depression.When the news reached Xue's family, she felt lucky again for the girl, she really escaped a catastrophe, otherwise the girl's life would be miserable!I also disdain Jia Baoyu's actions in my heart. Is this something done by humans?Although she was very angry with Jia's family, even she wanted to sympathize with Mrs. Wang. It was God's retribution to give birth to such a son!

Xue Baochai calmed down at this moment, and said in a steady voice, "He arrived in Gusu? That's right. Back then, Uncle Cong sent Sister Lin's coffin to Gusu to be buried with her parents. Baoyu came here to pay homage to Sister Lin. Go ahead. Yinger, ask your head to check carefully to see where he has settled. In a few days, Uncle Cong will arrive in Gusu. Let me tell him about it and ask him what he thinks. Maybe he Maybe there will be arrangements."
