The Red Chamber: Hang Qin Keqing at the start

Chapter 117 [117] Qingxu Guanjiao, good marriage of gold and jade and former alliance of wood and stone?

On the other side, in Rongguo Mansion.

Li Wan designated Miao Yu as the leader of this poetry meeting.

Xue Baochai was unhappy, but there was still a smile on her lips, and she buried all her displeasure deep in her heart.

After everyone bid farewell to Miaoyu, Jia Baoyu ran to Ningguo Mansion alone, and mingled with Qin Zhong. His clothes were disheveled, his hair was disheveled, his body smelled of sweat, and his pants were full of fishy smell. It stinks of manure.

As soon as he came back, Xiren said to him:

"Second Master, you are back! Come with me to see the old lady, everyone in Ningrong Second Mansion is going to go to Qingxu Temple."

Jia Baoyu was startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise:

"Why do you want to go to the Qingxu Temple all of a sudden?"

Assailant explained:
"The noble concubine sent eunuch Xia out, brought 120 taels of silver, and told us to have a three-day safe sacrifice at Qingxuguan, sing an opera and offer offerings, and ask Uncle Zhen to lead all the gentlemen to kneel and worship Buddha..."

"Oh!" Jia Baoyu nodded, yawned drowsily, and complained:

"I'm so tired, I wanted to have a good night's sleep, but it seems that I can only force myself to go to the Qingxu Contemplation!"

Xiren frowned, covered his nose, and said angrily:

"Second Lord, why do you smell like feces and urine? Where did you go? Did you fall into the toilet?"

Jia Baoyu's face flushed instantly, and he lied in shame and embarrassment:

"Yeah, it's dark in the latrine, I accidentally fell."

Xiren shook his head and sighed:
"Then I'll quickly order the maids and mothers to boil water for you, take a bath and change clothes, and then go to the old lady, but you have to hurry up!"

After all, Xiren trotted out to make arrangements.

Jia Baoyu pulled Bihen, smiled lewdly and said:
"This time, it's up to you to help me wash it!"

Bihen's pretty face flushed, and she was shy, with a meaningful smile rippling on the corners of her lips.

However, this was overheard by Xiren who came back from the outside. She pulled Jia Baoyu away from Bihen's hand, feeling jealous and a little annoyed, and joked with a fake smile:
"This time I'll help Second Master wash it, Bihen used to take a bath with Second Master, and it took two or three hours to wash, and I don't know what I was doing.

It was not easy for us to go in and take a look. Later, after washing, we went in and saw that the bed legs were flooded with underground water, and even the mats were covered with water. I don't know how it was washed.

I am in a hurry to go to Qingxu Temple today, so I will wash it for the second master, so it will be faster! "

Xiren's words made Bihen blush with embarrassment.

Jia Baoyu also had Xiafei's cheeks, shy and embarrassed, and felt a little ashamed.

Xiren helped Jia Baoyu take a bath, and when he was in love with him, he couldn't help but secretly tried the illusory realm again.

Fortunately, Jia Baoyu had just messed with Qin Zhongsi, so this time it will be over soon.

Xiren helped Jia Baoyu clean and dress neatly, and dragged Jia Baoyu, who was exhausted and drowsy, to Rongqing Hall.

Wearing the official uniform of Yipin Gaoming's wife, Jiamu led all the masters of the Ningrong Second Mansion, surrounded by maids and servants, and rushed to Qingxu Temple in a mighty manner.

Daoist Zhang Taoist, the Taoist priest in the temple, led a group of Taoists to welcome Jia Mu and others into the Taoist temple.

The identity of this Taoist priest is extraordinary.

He is the substitute of the Duke of Rongguo Mansion, who "dedicates himself" to the gods and Buddhas in place of the Duke of Rongguo.

In ancient times, "substitute" refers to a person who replaces others, and often refers to suffering and suffering on behalf of others.

He is the "Great Illusion Immortal" personally called by the Supreme Emperor, and now he holds the seal of "Daolu Division", and he is now named "End Real Man".

After Jia Mu was seated, Daoist Zhang saluted Jia Mu and said with a smile:
"I saw a young lady in a house the day before yesterday, and she was born quite well.

I thought it was time for my brother to find a relative.In terms of this young lady's appearance, she is smart and wise, and has a basic family fortune, she is worthy of it.But I don't know how the old lady is, and Xiaodao dare not make a mistake.Only after asking the old lady's instructions did I dare to tell others. "

The elder brother he mentioned actually refers to Jia Baoyu.

In fact, the lady he was talking about was Xue Baochai.

Instigated by Jia Yuanchun, he came to listen to Jia's mother's tone and test Jia's mother's attitude towards Jin Yu Liang Marriage.

However, after a little thought, Mother Jia responded:
"Last time, a monk said that this child should not be married early, let's wait until he is older.

You can ask me, it doesn't matter whether he is rich or not, as long as he looks good, come and tell me.Even if the family is poor, it's just a few taels of silver for him.It's just that he has a rare good appearance and personality. "

Mother Jia has already heard that the young lady Zhang Taoist said is actually Xue Baochai.

But she didn't flatly refuse, but let Zhang Daoshi continue to inquire, as long as he looks good, he is not afraid of being poor.

"Looking good, not afraid of being poor, just give a few money", what is this?This is a condition of concubinage.

What she meant was that she already had a candidate for the position of Baoyu's wife--the "good-looking and character-oriented" Lin Daiyu.

Zhang Daoshi was obedient, and quickly agreed.

Aunt Xue's face next to her was very ugly. She already knew that Daoist Zhang was appointed by Jia Yuanchun to test Jia's mother.

Unexpectedly, Jia's mother refused to let Xue Baochai be her regular wife. According to her words, she could only let Xue Baochai be a concubine at best.

This made Aunt Xue very disappointed and unwilling.

Xue Baochai also felt uncomfortable, but her face was indifferent, and she did not show her inner dissatisfaction at all.

In fact, Xue Baochai did not regard Jia Baoyu as the best match. In Xue Baochai's heart, Jia Qiang was ranked first, and Jia Baoyu was just her "spare tire".

In fact, this time, Jia Yuanchun learned that Lin Daiyu had returned to Yangzhou City in advance, so he deliberately chose this opportunity to test Jia's mother.

Xue Baochai also understood Jia Yuanchun's intentions.

Because Jia Yuanchun's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, supported Jia Baoyu's marriage to Xue Baochai, and once again bound the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Xue family to form a joint force.

In fact, Yuanchun did not have the right to decide Jia Baoyu's marriage, and it was impossible to bestow a marriage.But her opinion can influence the position of the Jia family.

But she still miscalculated, and Jia Mu still supported the Mushi Qianmeng.

However, what Jia's mother didn't know was that Lin Daiyu no longer had Jia Baoyu in her heart, but another man.

Lin Daiyu is different from Xue Baochai. Lin Daiyu is single-minded towards Jia Qiang. She doesn't care about any gains or losses, and there is no conspiracy. She only has the purest and most selfless love.

On the other side, in Yangzhou City's Xunyan Yushi Mansion.

Hundreds of soldiers patrolling the salt lined up around the courtyard with plain knives in hand.

Lin Ruhai leaned on the bed on the steps, accompanied by Lin Daiyu, Qingwen, Zijuan, Xueyan and other maidservants, overlooking the courtyard from a high position.

They all sweated secretly for Jia Qiang, with worry and anxiety in their eyes.

Especially Lin Daiyu, who tightly frowned a pair of smoky eyebrows, and a pair of beautiful eyes full of affection and worry.

Jia Qiang and Huang Taiji stood facing each other in the center of the courtyard, with a distance of more than ten steps between them.

Huang Taiji's four guards stared at the two nervously, for fear that Huang Taiji would make any mistakes.
