Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

At that moment, everyone was so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed: "Don't dare anymore. We really failed to stop Master Bao today. It was all our negligence. The girl will punish you at will, and you can't say such hurtful and unlucky words." Seeing that Madam Su also came out in a hurry, after coaxing and coaxing, persuading and persuading, she dragged the person into the house, and the servants outside dared to get up, they all wanted to spit on the Jia's wife, and only surrounded her to criticize her.

Baochai asked Mother Su to coax her into the inner room, and she was still so angry that her chest was burning like a ball of fire.After panting for a while, he calmed down and called out to his mother-in-law, "Send the gatekeeper mother-in-law back to Jia's house. She only said that she gambled and drank wine at night. She was arrested. In other yards, the second master Bao came in and did not dissuade him." Juge January Miyin has a long memory. Let’s forget about the first time and the second time. I still have guests living here, and they are all girls’ houses. Everyone’s eyes are covered with lard? Really? Who will I punish if I drive you out? At most, it’s just a few words on my aunt’s face. The master is raising you just to sweep the floor. From now on, there will be no work in your eyes, so don’t worry about it in front of me. This is sour and that, who wouldn't know it after looking at it!" A slap-la-la-la-la uttered and the servants were all dumbfounded in fright, and they didn't know that the eldest girl who had always been prudent and exquisite in her family could be so powerful.

The mother-in-law of Jia's family knelt for half an hour, then she asked Mother Su to take her back to Jia's house, and Baochai asked her to take her to Mrs. Wang to express her annoyance, and closed the door into the inner room by herself. Hearing that the snow geese behind were still holding on to the azalea, she hurriedly called Ying'er over to ask about it, and only then did she know about the earlier public case.

It turned out that on the day of Qin Keqing's funeral, Baoyu went to see off the spirit. He happened to meet King Beijing on the way. King Beijing saw that he was very pleasant-looking and gentle and polite. up.Here, Baoyu came back and heard that Daiyu was doing well, so he immediately took this new favorite thing to please him. It just so happens that the gatekeeper today is the wife of Jia's family. It's not a fart to see her own phoenix baby. Dian opened the door, and walked in the lead to tell people a joke.When Baoyu entered the yard and saw Zijuan, he called and led him all the way into the inner room of the backyard, where he saw Daiyu.

Daiyu was also happy to see him, but at first this person took out the string of beads as if he was giving and receiving them privately, and then he figured out that even the beads were not his own, but some outsider who didn't know. I am annoyed by the things I wear around me.No matter how bad the Lin family is, it is still a noble family from generation to generation, so why do they really care about an idle prince who has no real power?Bringing such a person's homely things over here, isn't it really disgusting on purpose?Daiyu directly threw the thing out, and groaned angrily: "These are all things used by some stinky man and they are used to prevaricate me!"

Baoyu over there was also annoyed, and walked outside with her hands shaken, and then bumped into Baochai who had just come back at the door.Originally, he thought that Baochai would have to stay for a while, and it would be fine if he got a step up.Unexpectedly, the person turned his face to the side, and kept him in front of the court, he couldn't get up or down, and when Zuo Xing came up, he just ignored him and ran away.

Only then did Baochai understand the entanglement in her head, and first asked to call out the two maidservants who were still arguing, and each of them divided them into a corner to stay clean, then opened her dressing box and took out the pair of red maids that the empress had rewarded. The wagtail bead bracelet went to Daiyu.When I entered the side courtyard, I saw a field of beads scattered in front of the house. A rough girl was picking them up with great effort. When she saw Baochai, she bent over and saluted to say hello.Baochai said to her: "Forget it, after picking this thing up, find a rope and twist it up again, and return it to the second master Bao in the mansion. Later, let your sisters make you another string to play with." The girl agreed. Only then did he wait for someone to announce and enter the inner room.

In the room, Mother Wang was talking around Daiyu, and she could vaguely hear nonsense words such as "be patient", "one more thing is worse than one less thing", "it is necessary for the ancestors to make sisters and brothers", and so on. Baochai lifted the curtain and went in. The mother shrank her hands and feet into the corner of the wall and looked out mischievously.

Daiyu was crying until her eyes were swollen like peaches. Baochai ordered Yinger to go up to her and help her wash her face and change her clothes. She sat where Daiyu sat and did not make a sound, but curled her fingers and slowly touched the table. Knock up and down.After knocking about twenty or so times, Wang Momo couldn't help but knelt down and said with snot and tears: "Isn't this for our girl's sake? I can only do this if I think about it. It's better to become a woman." I can cover up these things in the future..."

Baochai immediately took a set of teacups on the table, covered her head and face, and threw it on her, saying, "I mean, why do you girls always look so languid? You don't have the posture of the daughter of a second-rank official in the imperial court. The nanny in the back patter has no right idea at all. What happened, what happened, you still think you are an old matchmaker? Don't be ashamed to panic! I won't move you, wait for Minger Lin Uncle is here to see what will happen to you." Nanny Wang was so frightened that she knelt down on the ground crying and begging Daiyu to spare her life, Daiyu came back from washing and changing and only choked up and said: " I have spared you, but who will spare me! I will leave it to my father to decide." Saying that he would not go to see her, Baochai called a few women to drag her down and shut her mouth so that she could guard her, and then she went back again. He took out a string of red wagtail beads bracelets from his sleeve and said to Daiyu, "This is the lottery that the queen concubine gave to you earlier. I have two, and I will give you one to play with. Don't take things about Wang Mama to heart." , Since Uncle Lin has come to uphold justice with you. Crying like this, how can I explain when I see Uncle Lin tomorrow? I was thinking of asking for a reward, but if I don’t take the board now, I will be forgiven.”

Daiyu burst out laughing, and said bitterly again: "I still think that Baoyu treats me so sincerely, but she has no brains in her actions. If someone finds out in the future, I won't know what to hide here." Don’t talk about your innocence, you can’t keep your property and life. This nanny is also very hateful, she has always been an ‘elbow’, and she can’t be half as good as Su nanny.”

Baochai led her to walk slowly into her room, and there were snow geese and azaleas standing beside the hanging flower door in the main room.Bailu was standing opposite Xueyan and talking to her, Zijuan didn't have half a comforter here, it looked so pitiful.Daiyu walked over from a distance, without looking at Zijuan, she just called Xueyan to serve her, and it was even more embarrassing to stand alone without the girl.

The two girls chatted and laughed through the evening, and they left after having dinner together.When Daiyu went back, she took Zijuan with her. She was speechless for a while, and then she opened her mouth when Zijuan was shaking like a sieve, "since my father comes tomorrow, what do you think? Do you want to go back to the old lady, or follow him?" Me? If you go back to your ancestors, let’s talk about it. If you follow me, you will have to ask your father to take your identity. Sister Zijuan, I vaguely remember that you are a child of the Jia family, and your parents and brothers are here. .”

That Zijuan heard that Daiyu neither scolded her nor scolded her, and immediately burst into tears, sobbing for a long time before saying: "Miss, I know I was wrong. I accidentally went astray and almost ruined my master." For the rest of my life. Just now, when Madam Su saw that the servant girl had told some stories about her ancestors, she knew what was good and bad, and she would not dare to be so self-confident in the future." Daiyu originally wanted to take the opportunity to beat her, but she didn't expect that the servant girl was so small Now that I understand the matter, it is not easy to say anything now, so I just said with a straight face: "I can't say for sure whether this will happen in the future, or I will have to return this matter to my father tomorrow. The snow geese come up to serve you." Zijuan had no choice but to retreat wearily.

After a while, Xueyan called out from outside the door, and came in lightly only after getting permission, and lowered her head when the door was closed and said in a low voice: "Miss, did this slave get into trouble for you today?" Daiyu glanced at her obliquely, a I couldn't help showing a little smile and said: "I haven't seen you so powerful before, I have to thank you, otherwise I will lose my face and let people look down upon me." After all, we have been together since childhood, between words A lot of reckless.The snow geese were blessed and said: "In the past, the servants only said that the girl is too good-natured and she gives way to the Jia family, so there is always a sense of indignation. Today, Sister Bailu dragged the servants to talk a lot, and only then did I know the girl's intentions." Difficulties. Sure enough, those of us who work down below stand low and can’t see far away. We only care about an inch in front of us, and we always annoy the girl.” As she spoke, her face turned red, and Daiyu’s eyes also turned red and said: “ Do you think I am a rich young lady like I am at home? When my mother was here, she always told me things about my grandmother’s house that were different from others. This is the mansion of the Duke, and we are guests, so we have to take a step back and cry on our own. Where?"

The master and the servant cried for a while, and then remembered that Lin Ruhai and his party were going to arrive in Beijing tomorrow, so they had to leave and chat together for a long time, and they didn't lie down to rest until the second or third watch. The next day I got up early again to search for Baochai and wait for news.

The words are divided into two parts, let's talk about Mrs. Xue's side.His son Xue Pan's mansion took the test, and within a few days it was the hospital test.The college examination is presided over by the Master Xuezheng, and the students who have passed the government examination will be judged and then asked to make a poem according to the law.Xue Pan stayed at home and followed Mr. Wan to memorize a copy of "Poems of a Thousand Family" and "The Conversation of Li Weng" written by elementary school students.How could he have imagined that Mr. Yuan had already guessed how he passed the government examination, as long as he didn't say something unpleasant in the college examination, he would definitely not be dismissed.Anyway, the Xue family doesn't lack those lumilin and silver people, but they just need to be born, and it's just a matter of passing the middle class and lowly, so everyone is happy.

As soon as the results of the government examination came out, the Xue family set up a running water mat for three days at the entrance of their own alley, with all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat. Everyone in Jinling City went to his house.

Mrs. Xue had an important matter on her mind, and news came from her daughter that although she was not selected as a servant, she was brought back with the blue eyes of the empress.She was so happy that she immediately called someone to open the warehouse to pack up the ordered items one by one, and then asked the staff to go to the pier to arrange a boat, so she had to rush to the capital to reunite with her daughter.Furthermore, my elder sister, Mrs. Wang, came to believe that her daughter Yuanchun entered Fengzao Palace as a concubine. The nephew Baoyu must also be an uncle of the country, and it was time to marry Baochai again. Things settle down.

Xue's family was in a hurry to pack up and arrange the shop, many people were waiting to see his family's jokes.Mrs. Geinxue is not a family leader—a girl from the old Wang’s family in Jinling. When she was not out of the cabinet, her family was full of vistas. She would not worry about money. She would believe an egg worth ten taels of silver.Later, she married into Xue's family, and the late master Xue didn't dare to let her be troubled, so he still took care of her like raising a girl in a boudoir.Mrs. Xue supported the family business both inside and out, that is, Master Xue passed away, and Baochai woke up from a coma for half a month. Just like this, the family's business was so muddled that she was tossed about and cheated almost [-]% of it.This time, Mrs. Xue is planning to marry the girl into Jia's mansion, and even more so to find a good family for her son in the capital. This Jinling hometown may not come back when she is out of breath in this life. She made up her mind to want All of them went out to exchange money and took them northward.

For a while, I don't know how many people in Jinling City were paying attention to making a fortune, or Xue Biao's friends who were dating outside kindly sent the word in, and the whole family was shocked.Xue Biao couldn't talk about her, so he had to tell Xue Pan about it.Xue Pan has memorized the books for two months, and listened to Mr. Wan's "Law" and "Regulations". .When I heard this, I was so angry that one Buddha was born and the other Buddha ascended to heaven. Because my own mother couldn't get angry, I just called the second housekeeper in and scolded her to death. That night, I went to Mrs. Xue's main courtyard to pester her. I took all the stamped paper and paper left by my father and put it away carefully, only waiting to enter the capital and hand it over to my sister for decision.

He thought clearly, seeing the abacus, his family could just fall asleep and die, and only his sister Baochai could revitalize the family business.Although Xue Pan is messy and stupid, but in a word, it is very good, that is, he treats his mother and sister with care, so he never thinks whether the sister's marriage will dilute the family property, and only thinks that she can make a difference. With this heart, I let her go. Even Mr. Wan couldn't help being amazed when he knew what was going on in his mind. There is a saying that no matter how muddy a pig is, a mangy dog ​​can see such an idea, the ancients will not deceive me. also!

By the time Xue Pan begged Bai Lai for Xue Biao's help to take an inventory of his shop and collect the books, it was almost May.Mrs. Xue was so impatient that Xue Pan made a fool of himself as soon as he made up his mind, forced the second housekeeper to stay in charge of the shop, and asked Xue Biao to come to Beijing once a season as agreed before, and bring his mother along with him. Sister Baoqin rented five big boats to evacuate the old house and storehouse, and went to Beijing like this.Fortunately, there is nothing unsightly in the big treasury of Xue's family, so he asked his mother to pick it out on the boat and mark it as a gift to the He family and the He family, and he was not stingy.

With such a pull in it, the pace of entering Beijing was slowed down.It just happened that when Jinling passed Yangzhou on the way to the capital, there was heavy rain, which delayed it for a few days.Xue Pan himself was not in a hurry, he wished that Baochai would stay at home for a few more years, and if he didn't want to make his sister cheap, he would become a white face. The origin is even more difficult to control, and the idea is very big!The mother and son don't blush every day, just gossip about this little thing back and forth.

Because I was leaning against the wharf in Yangzhou to avoid the rain, Lin Ruhai, the inspector of salt and censor here, happened to be going to Beijing to meet the saint to report on his duties. As soon as the flags of the official ship came out, it was inevitable that Xue Pan would hand over a post to visit this former, former, former, former , I don’t know many masters who have been on the list before, with full courtesy.Lin Ruhai over there accepted the post and heard the servant's report, and immediately laughed out loud: "I don't know who it is, it turned out to be him! This scholar's jokes are enough to laugh for a year, and the fuss is actually the same as every sentence." My son did it, but no one could find any serious faults, and I don't know who adjusted and taught it." Because I remembered that the letter from my daughter before was also very fond of the eldest daughter of the Xue family, so I didn't put on much official authority. , asked the butler to invite people in directly, coaxing Xue Pan's whole body limp with one bite at a time.

With Lin Ruhai's eyesight, he could see right away that Xue Pan didn't have much ink in his belly, he just memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart.However, this old Jiang, who has been in the officialdom for decades, is open-minded and transparent. He understands that some people really don't know how to read books. To be able to memorize books so proficiently, it can be seen that they have really worked hard, so they don't hate Xue Pan. , I just feel that the child's trembling appearance is ridiculous and lamentable, and I don't know how such a stupid person can grow up to such a big size, it is really a fool's blessing.

He didn't talk to Xue Pan about those articles about economics, his future as an official, etc. He just greeted Mrs. Xue gently and encouraged him, which made Xue Pan burst into tears, wishing to jump into the water to prove his heart , Fu said inadvertently: "Speaking of which, our two families are also good friends. My wife's natal family is the Jia family in the Rongguo Mansion in the capital. The little girl has been fostered and taught by her grandmother since last year. Coincidentally, the niece and aunt also belonged to Jia's family, I heard that my niece is also a guest in Jia's mansion, and she has a very good relationship with my daughter, she can be called Jinlan, it can be seen that the fate in this world has been written a long time ago, I can't say how I met your family here."

As soon as Xue Pan heard that there were girls here, his ears immediately perked up, and seeing Lin Ruhai talking about the benefits of girls, he immediately straightened his back with You Rongyan and said, "That's not it! My girl is also rare and capable, and she can do things big and small in the house, but if you don’t understand anything, just ask her, and I’m sure I’ll sort it out for you in no time.” Talking and chatting again to Jia’s house, Xue Pan He just curled his lips and said: "I don't know what's so good about that family. I heard that Nuo Da's boy is in his teens and hangs around in the inner curtain all day. Fortunately, my sister lives in another courtyard and the door is locked. And don't care if their heads are beaten into dog brains." Even a fool like Xue Pan said that, so it can be seen that everything said in his daughter's letter is true, and he must have concealed something from him.Lin Ruhai's heart was like a mess, and he dismissed Xue Pan with a good voice on the face, and turned around and called his confidant to explain: "I am here and I will go with Xue's family, you rush to the head, and when you enter Beijing, just ask about it in the market. Inquire about the affairs of Jia's family, and send letters to these families for me, so I will need it in the future. Go ahead." After receiving the letter, his confidant got off the boat and galloped all the way on the official road. Let's not mention it for the time being, Lin Ruhai is taking a leisurely stroll here. Beat the flags of the official ship as steadily as Mount Tai, and when the rain lightens, the mighty and powerful Xue family fleet will go to Beijing together.
