Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

Shen Yu accompanied Baochai into the main hall of Jia's house, and saw a scene of wealth and honor in the room, and maids and women in twos and threes gathered together to hide and watch and laugh.After turning the screen, I saw an old woman with white hair sitting in the first place.She was wearing a big ocher dress, with a mop on her head, and she could vaguely see that she must have been a beauty when she was young.The maid who greeted the guests outside went up to salute, and reported, "Miss Bao brought the new son-in-law to kowtow to the old lady to pay her respects." After speaking, she told the little girl to put the futon away.

Jia's mother is now eighty years old, no matter what else, it's just right to kowtow to her at this age.After the ceremony, Shen Yu stretched out her hand to help Baochai up, and the old lady smiled and nodded and said, "When your great-grandfather was still there, we probably weren't as old as Baochai, and we had heard of the 'Owl Shen' Yes, it's a pity that there are no relatives on both sides and they don't go around much. Now that we are a family, we just treat this place as our own." After finishing speaking, he asked the round-faced maid behind him to take two purses and distribute them to the next hall. Said to the children: "We old guys, now we like to see young people who are all kind and beautiful. Bao girl is thoughtful and steady, she is a good girl, and I hope you will treat her with care."

Shen Yu smiled and bowed his hands in response.Mrs. Wang sat on the lower right side of Jiamu, and she also had a loving face at this time. Baochai bowed to her sideways again, and only then did the maid come up to help remove the big clothes outside.Mother Jia ordered the little girl to move the chair to the first place on the left, and said to everyone in the hall with a smile, "Bao girl is a spoiled guest today, so I don't want you to be jealous." In the first row, sitting on the third chair from the left is Sister Feng who is holding a child and teasing her.Now Sister Feng is taking care of herself blindly regardless of everything, and she looks a little more rosy and healthy than before giving birth.This baby is also about one year old, holding a red cloth tiger, stuffing it into its mouth and biting it.

Baochai sat next to Jia Mu, and the old lady reached out her hand to gossiping with her very affectionately. Seeing Shen Yu sitting in the room feeling bored, she turned to her servant girl and said, "I have guests at home. Go and invite Second Master Lian or Baochai." The second master doesn't care which one comes over. Sister Bao is the same as our own children, this new son-in-law deserves to meet." The servant girl listened to the order and left, and soon took a young man wearing a red arrow sleeve to return. Come in.When Mrs. Jia saw her grandson, she smiled with both eyes, stretched out her hand to beckon him to come to her side, then pulled Baochai and said, "Come and see, is this your sister coming to see you?" It was Baoyu who was idle at home. Ever since Mrs. Wang dismissed the maids in Yihong Courtyard last time, he has always been a little dazed. Mother Jia was afraid that there would be a mistake, so she refused to let him go out even more.Now let alone go to school, they don't even go out of the second class.

Baoyu heard the words and looked at the seat. A dignified beauty with a woman's bun asked her grandmother to hold hands and talk. Isn't it the cousin Baochai of the aunt's family?Right now, his mind is full of muddleheadedness, and he has a vague feeling that something is not right, but after thinking about it again, it suddenly disappears completely, and he can't find what is wrong again, looking at it stupidly. He came up a little bit, and stared at Baochai with a good eye.How could Shen Yu be willing to sit aside and see this situation?He only clenched his fist and coughed lightly, got up and went to Baoyu, raised his hand and arched, "Is this the son of the family?" At this time, Jia Mu also felt that her grandson's eyes had passed a little bit, so she smiled and called out: "Baoyu? This is your Shen family's brother-in-law, why don't you be polite?"

Just now Baoyu came back to his senses, feeling inexplicably confused, and dared not look up again, clasped his fists and made a bow with Shen Yu, without waiting to say anything, Old lady Jia urged him to sit beside her, Baoyu grinned Xiaoxiao then went up and sat leaning against her grandmother, stealing glances at Baochai on the other side from time to time.

After Baochai sat for a while, he saw that although everyone in Jia's family still looked like a big family on the outside, they were really not energetic inside. There seemed to be a thin layer of bruise under the eye sockets of his aunt, Mrs. Wang, so she knew that there must be something wrong in the family. Something happened that was not easy to talk to outsiders, and it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so I followed Mrs. Jia's word for word and chatted, and I quit and went home before the sky darkened.

When the two went back, they sat in the carriage together. Shen Yu opened the drawer and took out the candied fruit and put it in Baochai's hand, and poured warm water with her carefully. The second master Jia Jiabao is a very interesting person. Last time someone came out to accuse him of anti-poetry, and some heroes in the market told him his injustice. How did he look like this when he saw him today? Those two eyeballs It's too impolite to stick to you." Baochai couldn't say anything about the outsider in front of Shen Yu, so he just said lightly: "He has always been like this, but today I am the only one sitting in the hall. It’s the same for everyone else.” Shen Yu stretched out her hand and took a sip of the warm water poured for Baochai, then put it down and squeezed her eyes, and said, “It’s so sour!” Baochai laughed out loud and said: “ Always acting like a grown-up child, I don’t know what Mr. Shen’s family life is like.”

She paused and said again: "I haven't inquired about outside news in the past few days, and I always feel that a lot of things have happened. Aunt Cai just didn't seem to be in a good place, so she couldn't open her mouth to ask." I don't know why, it's nothing more than a little movement at the top, which caused the bottom to turn over, maybe a few nobles were involved in it.I thought that Xu Shi, the mother-in-law, would tell my daughter-in-law, but now it seems that there is only half a word.Reluctantly, he added some water to the cup, then sat down firmly and said: "Now the emperor is becoming more and more addicted to elixir, it's not bad if he can come out for two days in a ten-day period to ask for help to meet people, but at this moment, there are still people chasing him." If you want to offer prescriptions, it will annoy the present day. Those who do this will naturally lose their errands and jobs and go home to eat by themselves. There are always two or three families fighting for the vacant position, fighting over and over again. It was a big idea, and I asked my superiors to reprimand a lot of people who mixed in, so everyone shrank their heads and didn't dare to make a fuss again, and I guess it is also because of this reason today."

After hearing this, Baochai nodded lightly, guessing that it should be about the same.When she was young, she was busy preparing for marriage at home, busy with big and small matters, and neglected the news from outside, so she didn't know many things, so she could only guess vaguely.But Jia's family has no one to work in the court, why is it also looking depressed inside?Seeing that she was thinking, Shen Yu simply said happily: "Jia's family is pure trouble, and his face is not good-looking. Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with that second master Bao." He smiled and continued: "Mr. Shi Didn’t the great niece and granddaughter of Taijun’s natal family say she would have a son with Wei’s parents? Originally, they were supposed to get married this year, but the Wei family heard some rumors from somewhere, and said that the eldest daughter of the Shi family and the second master of the treasure were not innocent, so they Forcibly annulled the marriage. It just happened a few days ago. I guess you were too busy, so my mother didn't say anything. Maybe it was because of this that I didn't invite my relatives over for dinner today. Otherwise, when the Jia family historians met Don't start a fight, whoever you don't want to invite!"

If we say that this Wei family is also a noble family in Beijing, the weather is much better than that of Jia's family.That Wei Ruolan is also on an errand, so it can be seen that there are still some things inside.Regarding the resignation, the Wei family complained publicly about the innocence of the eldest daughter of the Shi family. In private, many people heard that it was a rumor in the palace that they were going to do something to the old minister now.Since they wanted to move, they must have picked up soft persimmons, so the Wei family was so busy that they wanted to tear apart old relatives like the historian Jia's family who had fallen into captivity.The originally good relationship between children and daughters is not going well at this time, it just so happens that the Jia family has some disputes in it, and the Wei family conveniently planted the blame on Jia Baoyu's head.

After hearing this, Baochai suddenly realized: "It's strange that when I saw Miss Shijia last time, she seemed to have something to say, but she held it back. How can I distinguish between three or five sentences for such a big matter!" I still have to explain to pass in the news from the outside in time, don't say that women are only active in the back house, if they don't know these things, they will make jokes or have grudges with others.Because of Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun told Wei's family to withdraw their marriage, the historian's family is bound to end up with Jia's family, and her parents died, so the road ahead will be very difficult!But looking back, Wei Ruolan is not a long-lived person, so it would be a blessing in disguise.According to Jia's mother's thinking, Xu Shi would marry Xiangyun and Baoyu, which can be regarded as making the two children face-worthy. At least they should make face-saving work, but I don't know if my aunt is willing or not.

Mrs. Wang was naturally unwilling. Although Shi Xiangyun came from a historian with two backgrounds, his fate was bad after all, and his parents died when he was still in his infancy.If the widow and the eldest daughter don't marry, how can she agree to this wild girl who has no parents?But they couldn't help it that their son was responsible for this misfortune, Renwei's family only grabbed Jia Baoyu to death, that such a big boy dared to live with the girls in the relatives' garden, which made Jia's speechless.Then there are the boudoir pens and inks and the jokes in the market that Baoyu himself leaked out earlier. If you don’t mind, the big furniture doesn’t mind.

The mother-in-law was on the top again, and some relatives from the historian family came in through the Wang family with some sarcastic remarks. My son Baoyu was still stupid from time to time, but now he can't do it if he doesn't agree.Originally, Mrs. Wang was still hoping to ask Yuan Chun, who was in the palace, to send some money to suppress her, but a lot of money was thrown out, and she didn't even make a sound. He choked up and nodded—the situation is stronger than people, so what else can we do.

At this time, the historian also hated the eldest girl Shi Xiangyun. There are still no cousins ​​under her who have seen each other. There is such a cousin above who asks people to withdraw marriage, and several small marriages are also embarrassing.Another one, she was raised by her aunt, not her own child, after all, she was separated by a layer, unlike her own, who could recognize beating and scolding.Now that the matter has come to this point, the two Madam Hou of the Shi family plan to force the Jia family to marry the girl, otherwise the relatives will not be able to do it in the future.Although the Wei family broke up with the Shi family, they also offended a group of relatives. I am afraid that the children in the family will not have easy careers in the future.
