The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 459

According to today's standards, Jia Baoyu is undoubtedly a rebellious young man. For example, his views on official career and economy, loyal ministers and good generals, and men superior to women are obviously difficult for most people in the world to accept.

To be honest, if there was no marriage granted by the emperor, although he would have resisted this marriage, he might not have rejected it as completely as he does now—but this kind of supreme and unalterable authoritative certification has completely inspired him from the bottom of his heart. rebellious gene.

As we all know, rebellion is often associated with resistance, but when it is embodied in Baoyu, the rebellion triggered by rebellion is weakened into passive confrontation and self-abandonment in most cases.

On the night of August [-]th, he went to listen to Fang Guaner singing Si Fan, and he came to the temple of Changcui Temple to confide his heart to 'Miaoyu', all of which belonged to the category of passive confrontation.

However, his current attitude towards Xue Baochai is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Normally, Xiren would probably try to persuade him, but just now he lied in a moment of impatience, but he was also worried that Jia Baoyu would catch up and testify face to face, and his "unintentional mistake" would be exposed. Missed the opportunity to explain.

Of course, it would probably be difficult for Jia Baoyu to explain clearly if he really wanted to catch up.

"So are you."

So Xiren put the matter aside, pointed to the rising incense and sighed: "Master Miaoyu just moved out of the Rongguo Mansion, it's not... how does this look like offering incense?"

"This……"

Jia Baoyu looked back at the three incense sticks, shook his head and said, "I have had people search all over the nunnery in the capital, but they haven't found Miaoyu. I think she is not comparable to ordinary people, so maybe we can hear it this way."

After a pause, she shook her head again and said: "Actually, it would be better not to hear it, she must be tired of us, and deliberately found a clean and comfortable place to practice, if my nonsense is passed on, it will pollute her ears instead. "

Hearing that Jia Baoyu admired Miaoyu so much, and even felt ashamed of himself, Xiren was [-]% disliked, and then thinking that this fake nun was actually chased away by himself and Miss Bao, [-]% disliked.

So I couldn't help but questioned: "How do you know that she is studying elsewhere? Maybe she can't stay in the capital, so she just went back to her hometown in Jiangnan and became vulgar!"

"No way!"

Jia Baoyu shook her head like a rattle drum: "She swore to Master that she would achieve a true result in the capital, how could it be possible..."

Speaking of this, she suddenly clapped her hands with bright eyes and said: "That's right! She has been with us for a lifetime, and she may have achieved enlightenment and became a Buddha immediately!"

After thinking about it, I felt that the Buddha didn't look very good-looking, so I hurriedly changed my words: "No, I have become a Bodhisattva!"

Seeing his determined face, Xiren hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he didn't speak against him, and only urged: "You don't want to apologize to Miss Bao, and it's better to hide here all the time." , otherwise the old lady can't find someone to make a fuss again."

Jia Baoyu thought so, so he planned to go back to the front yard with Xiren to have a look.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, hurriedly turned back to the three incense sticks, solemnly bowed to the Miaoyu Bodhisattva in his heart a few times, and then followed Xiren.

And at the same time.

In the Muni courtyard outside the west gate, Miaoyu, who had just dismissed the nuns, was spreading her aching legs in an indecent position, wondering whether she should stay here and become a "flesh Bodhisattva".

Let's not mention that.

But when Jia Baoyu arrived in the front yard, he glanced around guiltily and saw that Xue Baochai was talking and laughing with Shi Xiangyun, seemingly unaffected by what happened just now, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he deliberately went around and hid on the other side of the old lady.

"Where has this monkey gone to mess around again?"

Mother Jia glanced at him, immediately waved and laughed, "Grandma Liu just told two fresh stories, I thought you must..."

Halfway through, I suddenly saw a chaotic camp outside the courtyard gate.

The old lady stopped talking and looked at Mrs. Wang, who hurriedly sent Caixia Caiyun to ask. After a while, she came back and said that there was a fire in the stables in the front yard. Fortunately, it was discovered in time and it was extinguished just now.

Hearing that there was a fire, Jia Mu even recited Amitabha Buddha a few times, and the focus of everyone's discussion also shifted to this.

But Baoyu was attracted by the fresh story, stepped forward and gently shoved Grandma Liu, and urged: "I was not here just now, what story did Grandma tell, can you tell me again?"

Grandma Liu saw the rich man bullying him, she got up from the stool in a panic, and was pushed back by Jia Baoyu, so she had to laugh with her and said: "It's just our country people's nonsense. If you want to listen, I will tell you Let me tell you."

Unexpectedly, Mother Jia stopped at the side: "Just talking about the allusion of drawing firewood caught fire. I dare not tell this story again-he insists on listening, so you can tell another one, and we will follow suit."

Although Jia Baoyu was not happy, how dare Grandma Liu not listen?

At the moment, another article was compiled: "In the east of our Zhuangzi, there is an old lady who is more than 90 years old this year. She eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha every day. Who knows, she moved Guanyin Bodhisattva. She came to dream at night and said: 'You are so devout, originally You should be unique, and now you have played the Jade Emperor, and I will give you a grandson.'”

"It turned out that this old woman had only one son, and this son was only one son. She finally raised her until she was seventeen or eighteen and died, crying like something. Then she really raised another one. This year, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old. The group is average, but they are very clever, so it can be seen that there are such gods and Buddhas."

This remark really fit the concerns of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and even Mrs. Wang listened.

Jiao Shun heard it, but he couldn't help laughing secretly. Grandma Liu's words were obviously targeted, and I'm afraid that people who believe in gods and Buddhas are willing to believe it.

Anyway, since Lin Daiyu and below, after hearing this story, the few willful girls looked at Grandma Liu with contempt even more.

But they didn't have a good impression of Grandma Liu at first.

They are all well-educated and well-educated boudoirs. When they first saw this vulgar and uneducated country woman, but she pretended to be stupid and playful in front of others, she inevitably felt a little repulsed and disliked.

After all, they have never seen any suffering in the world. Although they are not good at judging people by their appearance, it is difficult for them to understand the hardship and helplessness behind this pretending to be crazy.

On this point, Jia Baoyu was more sympathetic—his standard face, he never showed disgust towards Grandma Liu.

But they said that everyone was going to visit the Xichun Courtyard.

But because of a delay in Changcui Nunnery for a while, it was not far from noon when I came out.

So Wang Xifeng proposed to go to the main hall of the Grand View Garden to have dinner, and it would not be too late to go for a walk after the rest.

But Mother Jia didn't want to mobilize the crowd, so she simply took Grandma Liu back to her courtyard, and the rest of Mrs. Wang and the other children dispersed separately for the time being.

…………

Not to mention others.

It's just that Wang Xifeng had lunch with the old lady in the yard, and after the old lady fell asleep, she settled down with Grandma Liu herself, and then she was able to go home and have a rest.

She lowered the curtains and covered the fox fur and fell into a drowsy sleep for a while, when she suddenly felt someone moving in the room, opened her eyelids and looked around, but it was Ping'er standing in front of the dressing table with her back to her, as if she was playing with something thing.

"Blind little hoof!"

Wang Xifeng scolded angrily: "You come here to make trouble as soon as I sleep here. If you lose energy in the afternoon, can you set the rules for me in front of the old lady and the wife?!"

Ping'er turned around and smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry, you will be happy in a while."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng half stood up and asked wonderingly, "What are you playing with?"

Before the words fell, there was a crisp sound, like the sound of metal hitting a stone, and then a bright light was emitted from the dressing table, and the uneven projections with some black spots were projected on the walls on both sides, rippling slightly swaying.

"What is it?"

Wang Xifeng became more and more curious, so she simply sat up, her bare snow-white jade feet tucked into her embroidered shoes, and just took two steps forward when Ping'er stepped aside in good time. An oddly shaped oil lamp.

The so-called weird shape means that the lamp body is completely sealed and opaque; secondly, the usual cover on the top of the lamp body has been replaced with something similar to a bronze pagoda, and the tower body is topped with a transparent glass ball.

The hazy light and shadow reflected on the wall is emitted from this glass ball.

"What is this?"

Wang Xifeng approached suspiciously, and found that there was a miniature swing set up in the glass ball, a little girl was sitting on it and swinging slowly, and the black spots mixed in the light and shadow before were blown up by the heat. Fine cotton wool.

After watching it, Wang Xifeng couldn't help asking, "What the hell is this?"

"correct!"

At this moment, Ping'er seemed to remember something, hurriedly got up and twisted on the "back waist" of the pagoda a dozen times, just as soon as he let go, he heard the crisp music of ding dong dong dong sound from inside the pagoda.

At the same time, those tiny floating cotton wools were first blown to the top of the glass ball by the suddenly intensified hot wind, and then fell down one after another, and then once again adhered to the inner wall of the glass ball and gathered to the top.

The little girl's movements are also much bigger, swinging on the swing like a pendulum, even the corners of her skirt are up and down, accompanied by the crisp and melodious music, it seems like you can hear her cheerful laughter

Wang Xifeng stared blankly for a while, then turned around and asked Ping'er again: "Where did this thing come from?"

Ping'er covered her mouth and laughed straight: "Grandma begged for it herself."

"I begged for it? When did I..."

Wang Xifeng was puzzled at first, but immediately thought of the generous gift that Jiao Shun had promised, and when he turned his eyes to the glass ball, the joy that was originally five or six points soared to twelve points, and he spat in a red light: "Thanks to him, he can think about it." Come up with such spooky things!"

She looked up and down, and when the music stopped, she wound the clockwork a dozen times by herself.

Repeatedly, Wang Xifeng suddenly turned around and asked Ping'er: "If you want to sell this thing, how much is the right price?"

Ping'er was taken aback for a moment, and then said speechlessly: "Grandma got it so hard, are you really willing to sell it?"

"Of course I don't want to part with this one!"

Wang Xifeng said with bright eyes: "But if we set up a workshop, how about making it like this and selling it?"

Only then did Ping'er suddenly realize that she had to admire her grandma for never forgetting to make money.

So she followed Wang Xifeng's thoughts and began to think about how much money it would be appropriate to sell this imitation thing.

The cost of this thing must be much more expensive than ordinary kerosene lamps. Obviously, it can only be sold to wealthy families. It is difficult to guarantee sales, so it must be sold at a high price, but it is not easy to sell too expensive. Otherwise no one will buy it...

She was thinking about the price here, and suddenly she heard Wang Xifeng snort coldly: "I'm afraid I didn't ask for it, but I snatched it!"

Ping'er heard the words and hurriedly asked: "What does grandma mean by this?"

I saw Wang Xifeng staring at the glass ball with evil eyes, and seriously analyzed: "How can this thing be built in a hurry? It must have been prepared a long time ago, but how could that thief specially prepare such a thing for me?" s things?"

"It's not like..."

"Certainly not!"

Ping'er was about to smooth things over, when Wang Xifeng sneered and sneered: "I think this thing is probably reserved for Miss Yun, and he used it to deal with the matter because I was so urgent!"

After finishing speaking, she rolled her eyes and suddenly asked: "Where are those girls now?"

"This……"

"Send someone to inquire!"

Undoubtedly urged by Wang Xifeng, Ping'er had no choice but to leave the house and send her maid to the Grand View Garden to watch.

When the shop was done and turned back to the house, he saw that Wang Xifeng had already removed the lampshade and put out the fire, and then turned out the gift box that was delivered earlier, as if to put it in again.

Seeing this, Ping'er couldn't help wondering: "What is grandma doing? Could it be that she is going to send it to Miss Shi?"

Having said that, she didn't believe that Wang Xifeng had such capacity.

Sure enough, when Wang Xifeng heard this, he put his hips on his hips and scolded: "Thinking blinded him! Once this thing is in my hands, it is my thing, and no one can take it away!"

"Then grandma wants to..."

"I've been to Ming Road once!"

Wang Xifeng raised her sharp chin: "I'll let girl Yun take a look here first, so that the thief won't sell his goods to two families!"

Ping'er couldn't help but smile wryly when she heard the words, but she didn't find it strange, after all, this was her grandma's consistent character.

But she couldn't help being a little worried, so she hurriedly reminded: "Grandma, don't miss your whereabouts, otherwise..."

"How else?"

Wang Xifeng interrupted her, sniffed and said disdainfully: "Now that girl Yun is being coaxed by him, can she still regret her marriage because of suspicion? Even if she is really ruthless, it depends on whether the historian agrees or not!"

Saying that, but Ruo Ruo couldn't help touching the glass ball with his hand, and murmured: "Don't say it's Yun girl, even if I saw these battles when I was a girl, I'm afraid I will be coaxed by him! "

Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Ping'er had no choice but to let her.

Helping to put the oil lamp into the gift box, I suddenly thought of what happened earlier, so I hurriedly asked: "Grandma is afraid that his product will be sold to two families, so should we make a copy and sell it?"

"Not imitated!"

Without thinking about it, Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and said, "This is mine, and it's only mine. No one can imitate it!"

Ping'er smiled, thinking that when she was a girl, isn't grandma willing to be coaxed by him now?
