King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 477 King Qingyang beats Jia Baoyu

It should be noted that the so-called Mrs. Beijinghou is actually Shui Rong’s wife Zhao.

In the previous turmoil, it was finally discovered that several guards in Liaodong Dusi were indeed guilty of reselling arms, and Shui Rong naturally suffered.

Because those people below were biting and biting randomly, or maybe it was true, under the pressure of Zhu Jingyuan's group, Shui Rong was sentenced by the Ministry of Punishments to seize the title and be exiled.

This judgment was reviewed and passed by Dali Temple. Because it involved too much, it was sent to the cabinet for review. In the end, the cabinet drafted the word "can".

No matter how many fights there are in the cabinet, they do not have any differences on the line of suppressing military attachés.

Whether it is Liaodong Dusi's group or the convicted King of Beijing, they all belong to the military ministers' side, and the cabinet does not mind making them worse.

In the end, the title book was sent to the emperor. After all, the emperor remembered some old feelings and changed "seizing the title" to "cutting the title", so the King of Beijing became the Marquis of Beijing.

Ever since he was deposed, Shui Rong has been in a state of decline. He has not even been out of the house these days. Mrs. Zhao sees this and feels anxious in her heart.

She tried to persuade him several times, but unfortunately it didn't work, and in the end she gave up any hope.

How did Zhao know that Shui Rong only now truly understands and knows what to do to survive?

The prince's weakness and incompetence, and Prince Rui's strength and ability, made Shui Rong completely disappointed in the prince.

Therefore, in his opinion, 90% of the people who can sit on the Dragon Throne in the future will be Prince Rui.

If he doesn't give in, he will never have a good life in the future.

Only when his life becomes miserable can Prince Rui's hostility be reduced and his Beijinghou Mansion can be passed down.

Shui Rong told Zhao about these principles, and the latter naturally agreed.

Thinking that no matter who becomes emperor in the future, Zhu Jinghong will be a dignified prince, and there will be no mistake in following his path, so Zhao came to pay a visit today.

Firstly, today is a gathering of sisters, and secondly, the Shui family is in a special situation, so Baochai does not plan to see her.

Picking up a grape, Baochai peeled it and said, "Tell her...just say that it is inconvenient to meet today and let her go back!"

She didn't even bother to make up a reason, just to show her sense of alienation. Baochai believed that Zhao could understand the meaning.

Zhao hit a wall and could only leave angrily, but Dong Fang had already taken orders to go to the Lin Mansion.

The Lin family also lived in Beicheng, so it only took Dong Fang half an hour to arrive at the door of the Lin family's house.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai was receiving guests in the study room at the second door of the Lin family.

There are two of his guests, Jia Baoyu and Feng Yuan. They are discussing the new policies of the court at the moment.

The current Qingzhang of Jinling, Feng Yuan, was a witness and was deeply involved in it. Coupled with his ups and downs in life, he had a unique and in-depth view of the New Deal.

Although Jia Baoyu was talented and learned, he was only good at choosing words and making sentences. He had no understanding of these worldly affairs, so he basically didn't speak at the scene.

What's more, his mind was not originally focused on the discussion.

After learning that Daiyu had returned home, Jia Baoyu forced Feng Yuan to visit Lin Mansion. Now he only wanted to see Daiyu.

"Uncle...nephew wants to go out for a walk!" Jia Baoyu couldn't help but say.

Feng Yuan, who was talking eloquently, stopped and looked at Jia Baoyu with Lin Ruhai.

Seeing Baoyu's useless appearance, Lin Ruhai felt it was particularly annoying and said, "Go!"

"Yes!"

After saying goodbye to the two people in the house, Baoyu walked out calmly, but when he walked out of the corridor where the study was, his whole person suddenly smiled.

So he walked towards the inner house. The servants knew that he was the young master of Rongguo Mansion, so naturally they would not come forward to stop him.

But the Lin family is not the Jia family after all. Baoyu doesn't know where Daiyu lives, so he can only ask the girls who come and go.

The rules of the Lin family are stricter, so when they heard Jia Baoyu's question, the girls of the Lin family were shocked.

It was neither etiquette nor reasonable for a foreign man to ask someone where his daughter lived, so the girls of the Lin family stayed away.

"Is it Zicuckoo?"

As luck would have it, the sharp-eyed Jia Baoyu saw Zicuckoo when she came out to get something.

"Second Master Bao? Why are you here?"

Seeing an acquaintance, Jia Baoyu had no time to answer questions, so he immediately stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Zijuan, where is Miss Lin? Take me to see him!"

"Second Master Bao, now you and the girl are no longer what you used to be. How can we meet in private? If I go and spread the word... I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death!"

Of course it was impossible to be beaten to death, but it was a very suitable reason to refuse.

"Then when you bring this to Sister Lin, just say that I made it specially for her!"

After saying that, Jia Baoyu took out a porcelain bottle from his purse, which contained the rouge he had carefully prepared, and handed it to Zicuckoo with prayers.

Zijuan understood Baoyu's thoughts, and sighed when she saw him like this, and then said: "Second Master Baoyu, why are you doing this!"

"Leave me alone, you only do this one thing for me, and I will appreciate your kindness!"

"Second Master Bao, the girl won't accept it!" Zijuan reminded kindly.

"It's her business if she doesn't accept it, and it's my business if I give it away!" Jia Baoyu had no intention of giving up.

"Oh...okay!"

Zicuckoo took the porcelain vase and walked deep into the inner house. Jia Baoyu was waiting outside the door.

However, after only waiting for a few minutes, Zicuckoo turned back and Jia Baoyu greeted her full of expectations.

"Have you collected the things?"

Zijuan shook her head and looked at Baoyu with pity.

"Where is that thing?" Jia Baoyu asked.

Even if Daiyu refused to accept it, he would not be discouraged at all, but planned to find a way to deliver it in person.

"Broken!" Zicuckoo replied.

"Broken?"

"The girl ordered the servant to smash it. The girl said that men and women cannot be intimate. If Mr. Bao still knows half of the etiquette, don't come here again!" Zijuan spoke very slowly, hoping that Jia Baoyu would accept it.

It was enough that Rouge was hit, but Daiyu also said such decisive words, which made Jia Baoyu feel as if a sharp sword had been inserted into his heart, making him feel as if he was withered and discouraged.

Seeing that Baoyu was lifeless, Zicuckoo felt uncomfortable in her eyes, so she said: "Second Master Bao... the girl doesn't have you in her heart, so why do you insist?"

Before Jia Baoyu could go crazy, there were rapid footsteps outside, and Lin Ruhai appeared a few breaths later.

"Master!" Zijuan saluted quickly.

Seeing Jia Baoyu sneaking in here, Lin Ruhai was very dissatisfied, but he had no time to deal with this kid now.

"Go and tell Yu'er that Princess Xiang has sent someone to pick her up and invite her to a banquet at the palace!"

Lin Ruhai saw that his daughter was depressed, and felt anxious in her heart. Now that there was a chance for her to have fun, her father would of course support her.

"Yes!"

Zicuckoo turned around, but Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Baoyu and lectured with dissatisfaction on his face: "Why did you come here? Follow me out..."

After all, they were relatives, and Lin Ruhai was a kind person, so he didn't reprimand him too much, leaving Jia Baoyu with face.

"Yes!"

Although he responded docilely on the surface, the despair in Jia Baoyu's heart was gradually turning into hatred.

Princess Xiang, Xue Baochai...

It was because of this person's appearance that Sister Lin separated from me. She is simply guilty of ten thousand deaths...

Jia Baoyu was screaming in his heart. This was the first time his heart was filled with hatred, which was completely different from the previous "dissatisfaction".

Endless hatred is something that can make people lose their minds.

Thinking of Baochai's hypocritical appearance, Jia Baoyu clenched his fists instantly, but finally let go helplessly. With a pale face, Jia Baoyu followed Lin Ruhai out, entered the study room, sat down, and listened to Feng Yuan and Lin Ruhai continue to communicate.

Feng Yuan discovered that Jia Baoyu was absent-minded, so he said goodbye to Lin Ruhai in order to facilitate enlightenment after leaving.

Although Lin Ruhai is currently idle at home, as long as he serves as an official, he must be at the level of a minister, and he is already considered a figure in the court.

Being able to communicate with such a person is definitely a rare opportunity, and it will be of great benefit to Feng Yuannai.

At this moment, he is willing to leave in advance for Jia Baoyu, which shows that they are indeed close friends.

After the two left the Lin house, Feng Yuan asked what was going on, but Jia Baoyu had no intention of speaking.

Because he was in a bad mood, Jia Baoyu chose to walk, and Feng Yuan followed him all the way, while the boys followed behind with their horses.

As the two walked along, Feng Yuan asked questions, but Jia Baoyu didn't speak.

When he came to the main street and was among the crowd, Jia Baoyu felt particularly lonely. He just felt that he had been abandoned by the world.

"Brother, what's going on? You have to say what's on your mind, otherwise you'll be so angry that you'll be so angry!"

"Oh...you are so anxious for me!"

Seeing Feng Yuan's anxious look, Jia Baoyu knew that he was a trustworthy friend, so he finally said: "Good brother... I have hatred in my heart!"

"Hate? Who do you hate?" Feng Yuan was very surprised.

"Princess Xiang, Xue Baochai!"

It's okay for Jia Baoyu to harbor hatred, but his enemy is still the unattainable Princess Xiang, which almost makes Feng Yuan's jaw drop.

Even if you hate Princess Xiang, you should keep your words in your heart. Is it okay to say this?

Thinking of this, Feng Yuan looked around to make sure no one cared before he felt at ease.

"Baoyu, if you don't want to harm the Jia family, never say this again!" Feng Yuan reminded solemnly.

In Feng Yuan's view, once this word spreads, Jia Baoyu will almost certainly die, and it is very likely that he will be killed by Zhu Jinghong.

How good the relationship between Prince Xiang and his wife is is not a secret in the capital.

"Why, are you even helping that villain to speak up?"

"Baoyu, you can't talk nonsense!" Feng Yuan quickly stepped forward and covered Jia Baoyu's mouth.

"Am I talking nonsense? That Xue is a hypocritical charmer, clings to the royal family, and acts insidiously..."

Jia Baoyu cursed in the street, which showed that he had lost control of his emotions and let out what he had suppressed for a long time.

At this moment, a voice came from beside them: "Which person named Xue is so hateful?"

As soon as he heard someone asking, Feng Yuan knew something was wrong, but before he could say anything to stop him, he heard Jia Baoyu blurt out: "Of course it's Princess Xiang Xue Baochai!"

What a fucking idiot... Feng Yuan was extremely angry.

"Then do you know who I am?" the person who asked the question said with a cold expression.

Feng Yuan and the other two looked at the person who came, but they saw that this person was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was dressed in brocade and had an extraordinary bearing.

The most important thing is that a dozen strong men have gathered behind this person, and they all showed the sabers in their robes.

When he saw this situation, Feng Yuan was almost frightened to death because he was so familiar with this scene.

After all, that was how Zhu Jinghong appeared when he appeared in Yingtianfu City...

He couldn't really be a member of the clan... Feng Yuan thought.

In fact, his guess is correct. After all, there are very few followers in this world who can carry knives.

"You...who are you?" Jia Baoyu was a little afraid, which was in line with his nature.

Zhu Jingchun rolled up his sleeves, then walked up to Jia Baoyu and said slowly: "My name is Zhu Jingchun, and the Princess Xiang you mentioned...is my thirteenth sister-in-law!"

After spitting out the last word, Zhu Jingchun kicked out with all his strength, knocking Jia Baoyu to the ground.

After more than half a year of farm work, Zhu Jingchun's physical strength was very good. This kick made Jia Baoyu fall to the ground and cry.

His servants, including Feng Yuan, were all isolated by the guards at the moment, and those who tried to come forward were beaten badly.

For example, the most loyal Ming Yan, just because he asked a few more questions, had a few teeth knocked out, and his mouth and nose were full of blood. He looked much worse than Jia Baoyu.

"Let you scold...let you talk nonsense...you are looking for fucking death..."

Every time Zhu Jingchun said a word, he kicked him hard. The pain made Jia Baoyu cry for father and mother, but in exchange for more violent blows.

Feng Yuan wanted very much to step forward and stop him, but the situation at this time evoked his nightmare and put him in a state of stress, unable to control his body at all.

Zhu Jingchun here kicked him left and right, at least he had broken several of Jia Baoyu's ribs, and he would definitely have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die.

"Master Fourteen, this is the brother of the Crown Princess!"

Finally, Feng Yuan defeated his fear and shouted this sentence at the top of his lungs.

Finally, the title of Crown Princess still worked, making Zhu Jingchun stop moving his feet, but he felt annoyed and bent down to slap her again.

Then he turned around and looked at Feng Yuan, who was crowded among the servants, and then waved to the guards.

The guards understood, walked out and grabbed Feng Yuan, then brought him to Zhu Jingchun.

At this time, because there were many people watching the excitement around, people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division rushed over. The leader of the team was an officer from a hundred families.

"what happened?"

Good guy, these hundred households only asked one question, and a guard came forward and showed his waist badge, and then greeted: "Prince Qingyang's Mansion, our prince has to do something!"

"Excuse me, farewell!" Baihu, the leader of the team, said simply.

Moreover, this man was very considerate in his work. Not only did he leave with his men, he also considerately drove away the onlookers.

As the guards surrounded him, Zhu Jingchun wiped his hands with a handkerchief and asked Feng Yuan, "Who do you think he is?"

"Reporting to the prince, this man is the son of the second master of the Rongguo Mansion, and the younger brother of the current crown princess's mother!" Feng Yuan replied bravely.

"Oh...it turns out he is such a person!" Zhu Jingchun responded.

To be honest, he felt a little panicked, but it was just a little panicked.

He and Zhu Jinghao had even beaten Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion to a near-death state, so it wouldn't be a big problem to beat one more person now.

After all, the prince is also his elder brother, and it is unreliable that the prince does not have a sixth brother.

Even if these two are unreliable, there is still Brother Thirteen...

Thinking of this, Zhu Jingchun became even more confident, so he turned around and looked at Jia Baoyu, who was groaning on the ground, and then kicked him hard.

"No matter who he is, it's not okay to scold my thirteenth sister-in-law!" Zhu Jingchun said fiercely.

He and Zhu Jingchun had really received great favor from Baochai in Shanglinyuan. They were their biggest benefactors besides their mother and concubine, so they protected her at all costs.

"For the sake of my fourth sister-in-law, I will spare your life today. If you dare to talk nonsense again in the future, I will kill you!"

After saying harsh words, Zhu Jingchun led the guards away.

Although he was calm at this time, he was heading directly towards the imperial city. This guy wanted to apologize to the prince first, just to minimize the consequences.

As for Jia Baoyu, after the people from the Qingyang Palace evacuated, the servants immediately came forward to take care of him.

Seeing that Jia Baoyu was dying, the servants were so frightened that they carried him back to the house in panic.

Although Feng Yuan was severely frightened, he did not rush home at this time, but followed him to Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Baoyu, who was carried back home, suddenly saw his dead grandfather, who was beaten again by Jia Daishan because he was useless.

Jia Baoyu was carried into the house and was unconscious. His mother, Mrs. Wang, fainted on the spot. It was the doctor who Mrs. Xing ordered to call.

As the news spread that Jia Baoyu's life was hanging by a thread, the entire Jia family was shaken.
