The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

It is said that when Jia's mother learned of Baoyu's mind, she sent someone to the historian to pick up Xiangyun the next day.Yuanyang bites the bullet and begs herself to pick her up.Seeing her flushed face and low eyebrows, Jia's mother guessed that she wanted to say something nice to Xiangyun, so she agreed with a smile, ordered her to wear a colorful dress, and rewarded her with a hairpin.

Yuanyang came to the Shijia very anxiously, Shi Xiangyun said in shock: "Why is sister Yuanyang here?"

Yuanyang smiled and said: "I haven't gone out for a few days, and I'm bored. Today, the old lady sent someone to pick up the girl, so I thought of taking the opportunity to walk around and ask the old lady for her."

Xiangyun naturally knew that this was just a rhetoric, and thought that she was going to discuss important matters today and ordered her to come here out of solemnity, and his face immediately flushed.Yuanyang whispered: "I have a few words, I want to say to the girl alone." Xiangyun's hands trembled a little, and hurriedly sent Cuilu to lead the two little girls down.Cui Lu was also clever, holding a bamboo basket and guarding the door doing needlework.

When Yuanyang saw the door closed, she knelt down to Shi Xiangyun and said with tears in her eyes, "I have something to ask Miss Yun for help."

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly said: "Sister, get up quickly! Just talk about things, we two have always been good friends."

The mandarin duck did not dare to get up, but knelt down and said: "Although the slave is a girl, sooner or later he has some plans. Now my old lady, brother and sister-in-law are all outside, and I just want to serve my ancestors steadily. For the sake of serving my ancestors wholeheartedly for more than ten years, I think the masters and young men will let me go. I will find an honest family and live a good life." As he said, his face turned red, and he lowered his head.

Look at the meaning, it is obvious that there are men in the mansion who want her.Where did Xiangyun want to get Baoyu's head, so he guessed in his heart that Jia Zheng had taken a fancy to her and asked Jia's mother for it, and said hesitantly, "You don't need to talk about it, I guessed something. It's just... how can I care?"

Yuanyang burst into tears immediately: "Second Master Bao has already told the old lady that he doesn't want to."

Xiang Yun sighed: "Being with the old lady, it's up to him whether he wants to or not."

Yuanyang felt a little desperate for a moment, and she shed tears for half a day with her head down.

Xiangyun said: "Sister Yuanyang just wants to think about it, how can I have a say in this matter."

Yuanyang cried: "The girl only pushes it to the second master Bao. If the second master refuses, what can the ancestors do to him?"

Xiangyun just shook his head: "He can't."

Yuanyang looked at her as if she really didn't want to fight, and she couldn't help shouting: "Could it be that the girl is willing to have two people in the house before the man enters the house?"

Xiangyun was startled, and then opened his eyes wide: "What did you say? The people in Baoyu's house?"

Yuanyang said: "Naturally. Hu Po and I are unwilling, and Master Bao himself is also unwilling. Now the old lady is the only one who only hopes to make this happen. The servant is helpless, so I come to ask Miss Yun for help!"

Xiangyun opened his mouth for a long time and couldn't speak, his heart felt like a knife was twisted.Suddenly tears came down again: "It turns out that the old ancestor loves me is just talking about it."

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "Second Master Bao has pushed with the old lady. It's just that the old lady wants to save face, and she wholeheartedly thinks that what she says will be done, but the second master refuses, so it's a bit embarrassing."

There was some surprise in Xiangyun's eyes: "Baoyu has pushed?"

Yuanyang nodded, and then picked up what Xiren could say with Jia Mu's secret talk and Jia Huan's words.She thought: "Master Huan said he already knew the reason, but he never told me. Just according to his words, the old ancestor picked up Miss Yun today, probably to force the girl to 'promise three obediences, four virtues, virtuous and virtuous virtues'. Therefore, I guessed The reason why Second Master Bao refused was because he was afraid that the girl would be unvirtuous and treat his aunt Tongfang condescendingly."

Xiangyun became anxious, threw off the veil and said, "Why did I have such intentions! I have wronged people for no reason! Look at him since he was a child and hang out with all the girls. I said nothing!" As he said, tears seemed to break The thread generally rolls down.

Yuanyang waved her hands and said: "This matter has nothing to do with the girl. Since even the attacker was found, it is obvious that the moment the second master sent her away, he was determined. That moment... that moment was rumored in the house. ...is that one."

Xiangyun suddenly remembered that when the Rongguo Mansion mentioned Xue Baochai, Bao's second grandmother, most of them guessed, and he felt mixed feelings.It took another half a day before he said, "It's just... how can I disobey my ancestors..."

Seeing that she hesitated, Yuanyang's eyes lit up again, and said: "Young lady just push it to Second Master Bao."

Xiang Yun bit her lip and said, "Second elder brother refuses, but she still can force it."

Yuanyang moved her knees two steps forward and hugged her leg, saying: "Good girl! Isn't it just stuffed now?! Hu Po and I are both old and ordinary-looking. Second Master Bao might not like it."

Xiangyun was overwhelmed and thought, if the old lady thought about herself at all, how could she do such a thing?What is the face of her niece and grandniece?Now that I have done it, it is obvious that Baoyu is more important in my heart.Now Baoyu refuses, but she doesn't let go, which shows that her own face is the first important thing.Since this is the case, even if there are no mandarin ducks and amber, there must be others.What Yuanyang said is very true. They are both old and ordinary, and they don't want Baoyu to go out of the house.Rather than having two coquettish vixens who intend to seduce Baoyu, it's better to have just the two of them.Two years later, when Jia's mother passed away, she just let them out on the grounds that Baoyu didn't like them and didn't want to delay them, which fulfilled her two hearts.

After thinking through this verse, Xiangyun said: "I know what you mean. If the ancestor brings up this matter later, I will only say that the second master should choose the people in the house. I just don't know what the second brother thinks think."

Yuanyang happily said: "Yes! The second master will definitely not pick on me!"

Xiangyun's eyes flickered, and he said: "Not necessarily. My sister has a very good temperament and appearance, and she treats him well. Since... the second wife doesn't care about the family, there are not many people who treat him well in this house. gone."

Yuanyang said with a tearful smile: "Girl, don't laugh. I am by the old lady's side. Naturally, I follow the old lady's heart. I have nothing to do with the second master Bao. Otherwise, it is 'Baoyu', even if it is 'Baojin'." , 'Baoyin', 'Baotianwang', and 'Baodi' are nothing more than that." She gritted her teeth, "Even if the old lady forced me to kill me with a knife, I can't obey her orders!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiangyun was taken aback, "Where did we get to that point? The old lady really wants to force us, and there will be a long time to come. Let's discuss slowly." She kept talking, feeling more relieved inside. , hurriedly pulled her up, ordered her to wipe away her tears, took her own dowry and put on some rouge with her.The two packed up the meeting and got into the car together to go to Rongguo Mansion.

On the other side, when Jia Huan heard that Mother Jia had indeed sent someone to fetch Miss Yun from the Shi's house, she also slipped into Baoyu's room, saying that Yuanyang had gone to pick her up.So he told him what happened yesterday and what Jia Mu was thinking, and Baoyu was so worried that he couldn't sit or stand.

Jia Huan said: "Second elder brother, if you are a man, you should have a responsibility. The ancestors naturally want face, but this matter will maintain the life of Yuanyang and Hupo. Her face is more important than the life of the four of you. See if you can resist it yourself."

Baoyu turned around in a hurry: "I have already told my ancestors not to talk to my aunt, but she didn't listen. If she insists... No, I can do nothing to her, she is a grandmother."

Jia Huan said: "It's easy to follow her, you just need to agree. It's just that the price of following her is too high. I only want to say one thing. People will change. At this moment, Yuanyang only wants to go out. The mansion is a daughter-in-law of a good family. If you can't resist the old ancestor, she will be bored for a while-she is a girl, and she is married in our mansion. She can't decide whether to advance or not. She will be your aunt After that, I will finally turn around and resign myself to serve you. Yuanyang is a smart woman, completely different from my aunt and aunt Zhou; she is also a caring person of the ancestors, and she has been in our house for so many years, and people say she is good. Although Amber is honest, she has some skills to be favored by her ancestors. The master's house has been smooth and smooth for many years. In the final analysis, it is because the second wife is the only one, and my aunt and aunt Zhou are only suppressed by her. The reason. If you really got the mandarin duck and amber, plus Sister Yun, I’m afraid it’s not what you and I experienced in the past years in your courtyard, but Huo Sheng’s experience in the past years. Then you will live and die, and live happily. The second brother thought to himself. "After saying that, he brushed off his sleeves and was about to leave.

Baoyu suddenly remembered that Huo Sheng had been murdered by his father's concubine Ji in every possible way since he was a child. He broke out in a cold sweat from fright, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab Jia Huan: "How should I tell her old man?"

Jia Huan said: "I don't know about this. The ancestors love you the most, you only talk about 'for your own good', don't mention 'for the good of Sister Yun' or 'for the good of Mandarin Duck and Amber' Compared with you, the three of them are going to Antarctica immediately!"

Baoyu thought for a long time before he said, "That's the truth." Looking up, Jia Huan was gone.

Not long after, Shi Xiangyun's mandarin ducks came and went in to meet Jia's mother. Jia's mother sent others out and asked Xiangyun alone to send Baoyu two people in the house.

Xiangyun was ecstatic in his heart.The marriage between her and Baoyu has been talked about in private for a long time, but they have never been mentioned aboveboard.On the one hand, she complained that Jia's mother was so eccentric that she never thought of herself at all.He just didn't show it on his face, and said with a blushing face and lowered eyebrows: "The two sisters are all around the ancestors, so they are naturally more reliable and secure than others. It's just that people who got the ancestors for no reason have nothing to be filial to."

Jia's mother was overjoyed: "I knew you were the most sensible!" Then she praised her severely, and said proudly, "My historian's girl is naturally virtuous and generous, how can that jealous wife of Wang's compare!"

Xiangyun only pretended to be shy and bowed his head in silence.Jia's mother thought it was inappropriate for her to speak ill of Mrs. Wang, and she was more and more happy when she saw that she was facing her.

Jia Mu ordered her to play elsewhere, and she sent someone to call Baoyu.Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he hoped that Baoyu would refuse to agree, and he was afraid that after two days of delay, two young and beautiful people would come up and down like a well pulling water.

When Baoyu came over, Jia Mu said Xiangyun's words with a smile.Look at her smiling so comfortably, like an old chrysanthemum blooming, if Jia Huan hadn't told him clearly that Yuanyang didn't want it, Baoyu would have no way to refuse her.

Seeing that there were no smile lines on Baoyu's face, Jia's mother frowned: "Baoyu, aren't you happy?"

Baoyu suddenly remembered Jia Huan's words, frowning and forced a smile: "Very... very happy."

The falsehood was too obvious, Mother Jia's heart turned, and she immediately knew that she wanted to go wrong.Thinking about it carefully again - if it's not that she is worried about Yun girl being jealous, it is because of something else.When Baoyu was young, he liked girls with good looks. Could it be that he didn't like the appearance of mandarin ducks and amber?Then he took his hand and said, "Baoyu, if you don't like it, just tell me, and I can force you to accept it."

Baoyu immediately opened the corners of his mouth and smiled, then lowered his head and said: "Of course what the ancestors gave is good."

The more he was like this, the more Jia Mu decided that he didn't like those two girls, and hurriedly said: "It's because I didn't think well. They are a lot older than you, so it's not suitable for you to go."

Baoyu muttered again: "I don't... I don't mean to dislike the two sisters. They are always the people around my ancestors, and my ancestors are the best at regulating people."

Jia's mother slapped her thigh in regret: "Hey, you are young and thin-skinned! If you knew this was the case..." In her heart, she complained that people were talking nonsense. If you don't know, just say that you don't know. .He also thought that she also looks ordinary, but Baoyu saw that she was not good enough and sent her out of the house, so she said those words because of jealousy in her heart, did she want to make herself wary of Yun girl?All kinds of thoughts tossing around for a while are all other people's fault.

After thinking for a long time, she said: "I know, let's let this matter go, and you just don't care about the rest."

When Baoyu heard the words, he was as happy as if he had received an amnesty, and said, "Thank you, ancestor! Thank you, ancestor!"

Looking at his appearance, Jiamu decided that he didn't like mandarin ducks and amber. She stroked his hand and said, "You child, it's best to just tell me the truth. Why go around? It's almost a mistake." As she spoke, she began to think Which other maidservants in the mansion are outstanding, Baoyu probably likes them.

When Baoyu left, Jiamu found a trustworthy Mrs. Wang to discuss with her.That Mrs. Wang voted for Jia Amnesty in her early years.Because she wanted to win Jia Mu's trust, she got good news and went back to ask the old man for a reward, so she served harder than others.Now Jiamu has the most trust in her besides Mandarin Duck and Amber, so it is naturally inconvenient to discuss this matter with those two.Jia's mother said in detail how Xiangyun is and how Baoyu is, and said: "I don't bother to move, and the girls in the house don't pay much attention to it. The pearl is a good look, and I gave it to Lao Tzu again. You go Walk around more and see which girl looks good and has a good temper, come back to me."

Mrs. Wang agreed to go down.To say that Mrs. Wang is also an independent person.Her granddaughter is fifteen years old, she looks good and has a good temper, so it would be very appropriate to recommend her to Jiamu.It's just that she believes that the second house in this mansion is worthless, except for the third master Huan who invested in the big house; so she refuses to send her granddaughter to the second house.Turning around, he gave Jia Huan all of Jia Mu's background.

Jia Huan first got the detailed report of Yuanyang, and knowing what the two of them said in the historian, he also thought that Xiangyun must be moved.He didn't know what Xiangyun was thinking, and after listening to Mrs. Wang, he thought that she had no guts and dared not speak when she saw Jia's mother. He shook his head and said, "A dou who can't be supported." He just wanted to gain the reputation of her father. It's really annoying to have to treat her well and block Baoyu's people for her. He sighed, "It's not cheap for nothing." Thinking about Baoyu again, he has learned to act in front of Jia Mu, which is better than before.Only mandarin ducks are really acceptable.If you go back and educate yourself, Baobuqi will come in handy.Nai ordered Mrs. Wang to say, "Look first, and pick some who are good-looking but not temperamental." Mrs. Wang took the order and went.

On the other end, it was inconvenient for Jia Mu to tell Yuanyang Baoyu that she didn't like her appearance, so she just said, "I've thought about it again and again, and now I really can't live without you two."

The mandarin duck couldn't help but kowtowed and said, "I only want to stay by my ancestor's side to serve, and I have no other thoughts. I beg my ancestor to take me in!"

Mother Jia felt apologetic, took her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will arrange an excellent home for you even if I fight this old bone."

Yuanyang shook his head again and again, and said with tears: "It is a wonderful home to serve our ancestors in a smooth and smooth way." But in my heart, I thought of the reward Jia Huan personally gave me just now.

Jia Huan gave her an inkstone and said, "Now there is a friend of mine who lives in Qiluzhai. He used to be from the village. He has done a great favor to our family. Although he only started to learn to write in the past few months, he is practical and hardworking. If you are willing to learn how to write, I will ask him to teach you. If you don't want to learn this kind of work, the old ancestors will return to the west in the future, and they will naturally complete the good civil documents for the girl. And there will be a lot of money to send you out of the house."

Jia Huan really regarded her as a talent, and wanted to teach her something to use in the future.Pian Yuanyang can't go out of the house, and can't find a suitable person to teach her.Only Shi Qiusheng, although he has not been in school for a long time, is more than enough to teach her how to read.The last two sentences are also to test whether she is willing to make progress.

How could Yuanyang hear such words as he thought!Yuanyang naturally knows that Mr. Shi from Qishangzhai is an honest man who has helped Third Master Cong and Third Master Huan in a great way, and he has won the trust of both of them. He is only 19 years old.In the mansion, there had been servant girls who barked their teeth and claws in front of him for no reason. He was so frightened that he only fled, and once he dared not return to the mansion.Third Master Houhuan simply forbade women to go to his place.Yuanyang immediately thought that Third Master Huan intended to betroth her to Mr. Shi, a blush rose on his face, and his heart beat like a drum.

After waiting for half a day, Jia Huan thought she didn't want to learn, and said disappointedly: "If girl doesn't want to, just say it, anyway, I won't treat you slowly."

Yuanyang hurriedly said: "The servant is willing!"

Jia Huan took a closer look at her expression, realized that the words did not seem to be contrary to his will, Fang nodded and said: "Knowledge is extremely important, I hope that the girl will really make progress."

Yuanyang only thought that he was implying that he was going to associate with Shi Qiusheng first under the guise of knowing Chinese characters, and became more and more ashamed, and only nodded repeatedly.

Jia Huan was a little strange, but he didn't think much about it.Go back and ask Shi Qiusheng, just say that this girl is talented, because there is really no one to teach her, first ask you to teach her how to read.

Shi Qiusheng is also an idiot. Hearing that he was going to be a teacher, he was afraid that he would make a mistake and teach others the wrong way, so he worked harder at Gong Sanyi's study.

The next day, Yuanyang endured her shame and went to Qiluzhai to learn how to write.That Shi Qiusheng has a thick head and a thick head, his appearance can only be ordinary, but his eyes are extremely beautiful.Shi Qiusheng taught her how to read, and she put her heart and soul into learning. She usually hides behind the roots of flowers and draws characters with branches.Some people looked at Jia Huan back, and Jia Huan felt that she was dedicated to learning and that children could be taught.This is for later.
