Although there was rain along the way, the wind was not small.The boatmen worked hard and followed the wind, so Ke Keer arrived at the pier of the capital the day before the Dragon Boat Festival. There were already people waiting for Xue Lin's family, and they hurriedly gathered around to help serve the master and carry the luggage.That Lin Ruhai went to Beijing to meet the saint and report on his duties, so he changed his clothes and washed on the boat, and when he stepped on the ground, his family members carried a soft sedan chair to the other side of the imperial city.When the big steward of the Xue family got the news, they really went out with all their strength. They spared manpower to move the salutes on the five big boats and sent them out one by one on the spot, and dragged the other household items back to the old house.Only Mrs. Xue's Niu Xin Zuo Xing had to go to Jia's mansion first, but Xue Pan had no choice but to write another post and send someone to pass it over. wait.

Over there, Jia's mansion also got the news that relatives came to Beijing today, but from the management down to the mother-in-law's heart, they were still idling around with the virtuous concubine. In the city, only Mrs. Xue and the disheveled Xue Pan followed.

"Hello, Auntie! Hello, Brother Pan!" Frightened at Jia Lian, a scholar, he rode on the horse and bowed his hands, and after the greetings, he called his servants to help him carry the things.Although Xue Pan said that he could only agree to Mrs. Xue's going to Jia's house first because of embarrassment, but he didn't nod to go live, so he asked his servants to divide the salutes early in the morning, and the Jia family left as soon as they moved the gifts. , and save a lot of talking.

Seeing the tired expressions of the servants of the Jia family, Xue Pan felt a little dissatisfied in his heart. Jia Lian was not very sincere when he came up to salute. He obviously didn't take the Xue family seriously, so he immediately believed what his sister said in his heart. Since they are close to each other, they are more and more reluctant to go to Jia's house.Along the way, Jia Lian only picked some romantic affairs in the capital to tell Xue Pan, and he was taken aback for a moment by hearing this idiot, and when he mentioned that he would take him and the children of the Jia family to "see the world", Xue Pan was taken aback. He said bluntly: "Uncle Lin told me to help him all the way tomorrow, you just go over there to find me, there is not enough fun!"

In this circle of noble children who are not successful in school, when it comes to Lin Ruhai, the prostitute, there is no one who is not guilty and short-tempered, so how dare they go to him?Jia Lian laughed dryly and only scolded Xue Pan in his heart for being a fool. Gradually, he stopped talking and led the way into Ningrong Street in a nonchalant manner.

Along the way, Mrs. Xue opened the car curtain to look out from time to time, and all she could see was the bustling scene of the capital. When she entered Ningrong Street, it was a different scene, and countless thoughts rushed into her heart, only saying that if To be able to marry her daughter into the Rongguo Mansion is to enjoy endless glory and wealth.Not to mention other things, when you are away from home, you won't be able to let people eat a "merchant's house", just this one is enough to make Mrs. Xue's heart flutter.

Old Mrs. Jia asked Mrs. Wang to guard the door early in the morning, and when she saw the concubine's family arrived, she hurriedly opened the front door to welcome them in.Xue Pan got out of the sedan chair, helped his old lady out first, and looked up to see that the front door of Rongguo Mansion Zhuhong was wide open. His hands trembled and he almost didn't throw Mrs. Xue out. Is there a distinguished guest coming to my aunt's house today? Why don't we go to our own house first!"

Mrs. Xue gave him a slap on the back of the head with her hands: "It's already at the door, don't go in and say hello, be careful to let Mr. Wan know to beat you back! Besides, your sister is still here." Xue Pan was still a little hesitant, but at this moment Su Nanny turned to the main entrance and came out from the inner room. When she saw the master's house, she saluted first, then greeted Jia Lian and asked Jia's servants to close the main entrance and open the side door. This was a mess and invited everyone into the house first, so as not to surround her outside Ask the neighbors to watch the fun.

Because of this, Jia Lian's face was black and blue. He didn't even look at Zhou Rui's family who ran out to express his annoyance.Jia Amnesty was at home today, he was bored and called a few concubines to gather for a table and was having a drink. It was not easy to see people, so he picked out a set of lonely books and sent Xue Pan away with a bitter face.So I went to see Jia Zheng, the master of the second bedroom, who called his second son Baoyu to be by his side, and invited a group of Mr. Qingke to accompany him and his nephew for a while.Because Jia's mother was afraid that her second son would see Xue Pan and remember that her grandson Baoyu hadn't entered school yet, before the stool was hot, she called the big girl around her, Yuanyang, to come out and invite Baoyu and Xue Pan into the inner house for dinner.

The mandarin duck was wearing a rose-purple bijar, with a bun and two silver hairpins on it. Its oval face was pretty and white, and it only had freckles the size of a grain of rice on both sides of its nose. "The second master. The ancestors said that Uncle Xue and Miss Bao are both our own children. There is no taboo. Just have fun with Baoyu. Today, we are not allowed to talk about exams. There is also Mrs. Lin today. My face is too holy to be free, and I have to have a drink with him, so let me bring Second Master Bao and Uncle Xue inside to eat some ideas, and then let them out to have a fight with the elders when Young Master Lin comes back. Pot." Not to mention Xue Pan, Baoyu was overjoyed at hearing this as if he had been pardoned, and turned his head to look at his father.

Jia Zheng is a filial man, the old lady had spoken, she originally wanted to test her nephew, but she didn't dare to delay, she turned sideways and said: "Since your ancestors let you go, just go, just a little, don't be greedy, wait The meeting will come back to serve the elders." Saying this, Baoyu followed the mandarin duck and ran away, Xue Pan chased after him, sweating profusely, until he was out of the front yard before catching up. Later, he entered Jiamu's main courtyard.

At this time, Mrs. Xue has known the Jia family, and she is sitting there joking with Mrs. Jia.When talking about the juniors in each family, Jia Mu nodded to Mrs. Xue and said, "My aunt is a good at raising children. Not to mention Brother Pan, only Bao girl, all the girls in our family can't compare with each other." The wife squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "She is a child, so you can't praise her like that, but she looks a little tidy, how can she dare to compare with the Duke's Mansion? Don't boast that she doesn't know how heavy she is." Chai was sitting beside Mrs. Xue, pinching her handkerchief and sitting upright. She didn't care about the teasing from others, so she just pursed her lips and smiled.The female relatives were chatting and laughing, and the outside woman sent a word: "Old ancestor, Baoyu and the Xue family have arrived."

As he said that, Li Wan took a group of young girls to avoid him for the time being.Before Baoyu left and Xue Pan left, Yuanyang lifted the curtain beside him, and a group of people entered the flower hall.A woman had already placed a futon below, and Xue Pan kowtowed to Mrs. Jia according to her seniority, stood up and grinned, and immediately amused everyone in the room from Mrs. Jia to Mrs. Wang and the people serving beside her.This child is not ugly, but he is fat. Dudu Yile's eyes are gone, and there is a dimple on his white dough-like face, which looks like facial features painted on freshly steamed steamed buns.

Jia's mother pointed at him and laughed for a long time without making a sound, before she said: "This child, he really likes people!" Mrs. Wang also covered her mouth and said: "My nephew is so rich, I feel happy when I see him. Mrs. Xue said to Jia Mu: "This child can't hold his mouth since he was a child. He can eat and sleep. His father just keeps saying that a boy is not a good man until he has a big waist and a round waist? So the more he feeds, the fatter he gets. Now I think about it." It is also difficult to take in a little." Xue Pan was a bit fatter earlier, and he was bloated and bloated at a young age, and there were some signs of phlegm. Later, the family kept filial piety and ate vegetarian food. In the eyes of others, he is not considered slender, but he is the kind of person with big bones.

Xue Pan was also thick-skinned, so he wouldn't be annoyed if he made fun of him like this. He kowtowed to recognize Mrs. Xing and Wang, and sat down next to Mrs. Xue's other side, so comfortable that he didn't want to move.Seeing that he was interesting, Jia's mother asked about his daily life and said, "My aunt is getting old, why don't you just live with us so that we can take care of each other?" He smiled and said: "My mother said that she would go to Beijing to ask me for a daughter-in-law. It's not good to live here with the old lady. I hope you will forgive me. The old house has been arranged for people to take care of it, and the luggage has also been moved. , There are endless people in the yard. Whenever there is something to do with the old lady, people will call for it, and there is nothing wrong with it."

He said all the words, and Mrs. Xue was not easy to dismantle her son, so she could only reluctantly smile and nod, and then took a box from her side and handed it to Jia Mu: "This is what Bao girl told me, for your mother." The money was collected by Xiuyuanzi. This kid is honest, but he doesn’t know how to negotiate with the account of the shop in Beijing. 10 taels is a bit shabby, and the ancestors don’t dislike it. I also prepared another 5000 taels. I can’t come to visit on weekdays The old ancestor stayed here for a while, and if the daily expenses are provided, they will be exempted, which is the normal way." Speaking of handing the box to the mandarin duck, the two sides made some concessions, and the woman knelt outside and said it was lunch. Ready.

Jia Muyin said: "Brother Pan is a good boy. Let your sisters come out and meet each other. There is nothing to avoid when you are a child." Said Sanchun Daiyu came out with Wang Xifeng to see the ceremony again, only Li Wan went back to the yard to see Jia Lan because he wanted to observe the festival and not see the outsider.Xue Pan's eyes almost went straight when he saw Sister Feng, and the four girls in the back were just like Zhu Bajie seeing the daughter of the Seven Fairies. He didn't dare to lift his head in the end.When the etiquette was complete, Mother Jia ordered Amber to help her up and said, "Let's go to dinner together. It's an old custom for my son-in-law to enter the palace today, so don't wait for him."

Everyone stood up and said yes, they all moved into the dining room and then sat down as the guest of honor.

Today, besides Ying'er, Baochai also brought Suyun, which Jiamu had given her earlier, to serve Mrs. Xue, and she stopped using it after a meal.During the dinner, Baoyu didn't talk much to Xue Pan. He either checked to see if Daiyu was ready to eat, or to see if Baochai was using it smoothly. When the table was full, he saw that he had a lot of things to do. Jia Mu smiled and praised his dear sister for taking care of the elders. He is a rare and filial child, and Xue Pan is so busy that he lifts or puts down his chopsticks, and he doesn't know whether he should eat or use it.

After the meal, Baoyu went back to the Bisha cabinet to sleep for a while as usual. Baochai arranged for Yinger to take Xue Pan to Lixiangyuan to stay first, and then he accompanied his mother and chatted with Mrs. Wang until dusk. Zicai came to report that it was Mrs. Lin who came, and was busy calling Xue Pan to see the elders.

Because it was getting late, Mother Jia simply asked someone to call her two sons and grandson over. The eldest Jia She was lying on the bed after drinking and eating at noon. Only the second master rushed over, and Baoyu was behind. After dawdling for a while, they didn't see each other, so the mother and son had to guard the flower hall first to meet the guests.

Not long after, Lin Ruhai came in, all of his regular clothes were changed and washed, but the butler Lin stayed outside, and a long follower who followed his master all the year round stayed with the servants of Jia's family.Lin Ruhai was skinny and in good spirits, with a happy expression on his face, he went to salute Mrs. Jia as soon as he entered Jia's mansion, and soon after sitting down, he talked about his daughter Daiyu: "My little girl troubles my mother to take care of her, this child is very stubborn, I must make trouble for you." Mother Jia waved her hands again and again and said that he was too polite, then coughed and went to look at Jia Zheng who came back from the outside to accompany the guests.

Mrs. Jia originally wanted to call her son here to settle the marriage of the two children, but after the greetings, Jia Zheng muttered and then fell silent, and Mrs. Wang was also muffled like a gourd with its mouth sawn off. .There was no way to do it for a while, but Lin Ruhai then changed the subject and said: "I heard from the outside that the brother under the second uncle's knee is really beautiful. I don't know if I can play the game? Make it up and go with Xue's brother to be a student with me."

Just as Baoyu was walking outside, the little girl told him to listen to this sentence as soon as she lifted the curtain, and immediately leaned over to salute like an eggplant beaten by frost.Lin Ruhai looked Baoyu up and down, and saw that he was wearing big red arrow sleeves and a small golden crown. His body was brilliant and full of good materials, such as name locks, collars, purses, pendants, and a multicolored jade pendant on his chest. The colorful and beautiful jade is supposed to be the thing contained in the mouth of the legend.This Jia Baoyu, born four or five points like his late wife Jia Min, wondered that the outsiders said that the Jia family's Second Master Bao was a good character, but outsiders would not know that it was an embroidered straw pillow.

After Baoyu saluted here, Xue Pan also arrived outside. He came in and called "Uncle Lin" affectionately, and paid homage to Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. Then he took the first seat and sat down.Baoyu also wanted to follow him, but Lin Ruhai didn't want Lin Ruhai to let him go any longer, so he continued, "Brother was born with a kind face, would you like to go to school with me?"

Jia Zheng was completely willing, and he nodded his head before his son was born and said, "You take his family to school, and you can beat those who are disobedient and lazy, and I don't feel sorry for those who disrespect the master and kill them." Jia's mother was very displeased when she heard this: "How did your father teach you when you were young, but you forgot? You can't stand the board against your body, but Baoyu can't bear it? You didn't even ask. I just said that my child wanted it." On the contrary, there is no such thing as you raising a child!" Jia Zheng immediately stood up and apologized, and Mrs. Wang also stood up and said, "If Zhu'er is still there, so what if you beat Baoyu to death? With this little bone and blood left, who can I rely on in the future after being beaten to death?" As he spoke, tears dripped from his eyes, Lin Ruhai also got up and persuaded: "The second uncle is also trying to trick you, and the method is a little urgent. Just talking, mother and second sister-in-law don't feel sad, and scare the child carefully." Then Jia's mother turned her face and said, "I don't know that boys should learn their own skills so as to serve the court? Only Baoyu is young and thin. , so I have been staying by my side to watch, I'm afraid it will be hard for my uncle."

That Baoyu wrinkled his face and was only better than bitter gourd. He was thinking about how to escape this errand, and Xue Pan, who was sitting next to him, said, "Uncle Lin is very knowledgeable! I have heard many economic articles before." I don’t understand, but my uncle gave me a few words and it was like enlightenment. Even Mr. Wan, who came with me at home, was amazed. So, Brother Bao is so smart, isn't he going to bring back a champion in the next few years to make his ancestors look good!"

Everyone in the room thanked him for his good words, but Baoyu made a long "嗐" with his face.Jia Zheng's face became ugly. Baoyu glanced at his father, shivered, and moved to Jia's mother. The old lady hugged her grandson in her arms, looked at her son with raised eyebrows and said, "you are doing it again." What's the strange look? The guests are still there, so if you don't mind, go to the front and stay alone!" Jia Zheng didn't dare to get angry, turned his face aside and gave Mrs. Wang a look, then turned back to accompany him and said, "I beg your mother to forgive me. "

It took a lot of coaxing and persuasion from all the people to turn the page, and it was finally settled that Baoyu went to school.

Do you think Lin Ruhai is so kind to want to take care of Jia's nephew?It's nothing more than the servants going out to inquire about it and coming back to report that everything written in the girl's letter is true, and there are several things that haven't been written.That Baoyu had played in the school of the Jia clan for a few months before, although he didn't have much contact with the children of the side branches, there were always a few buddies from other noble families who played well with him.A few people sneaked out and made appointments to skip school and get together to go out to play, but he ate a few cups of yellow soup indiscriminately and spit out everything at home, and the others talked about it elsewhere, even some famous prostitutes I know that there is a girl named Shulilin from the south of the Yangtze River in the Rongguo Mansion, and there is a girl named Rouge Xue from the Northland.Lin Ruhai was so angry when he heard that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, he wished to kill the villain Jia Baoyu with a clean reputation on the spot, and because of the shame of his relatives, he thought about going to the door first, in case the child was in a bad situation, and taught him personally It is not impossible for the son-in-law to come out.

It's a pity to think about it, this precious jade can't be picked up and glued to the wall, Lin Ruhai also changed his mind, he must be restrained first and then not allowed to run outside, gag this guy's mouth, live a few days The young man has almost forgotten about it, and then he will find a way to get his daughter out.

In Baoyu's heart, he only thought that sister Lin's own father was so troublesome, why don't you read or not read and do his business?I don't know how this class of lu beetles can raise such a smart and beautiful daughter; for a while, they despise Xue Pan for being stupid and ugly, but sister Dibao is sharp and capable, not at all like a brother and sister from a nest.Sure enough, men in this world are made of stinky mud, but girls are made of water, clean and transparent.

The author has something to say: I am so unlucky, I have a cold and hit my aunt, what a feeling.It's finally getting better today, hurry up and update.

The editor said that I want to change the title, the author who named it useless feels a little bald...
