Red Mansion Soldiers

Chapter 258 The unlucky Jia Baoyu

The convoys of the Jia family and the Xue family soon arrived at Rongguo Mansion.

In fact, the Xue family also has a house in Luoyang, but the condition of the house is far worse than that of the mansion in Peking.

In Peiping, the man rented it out secretly, but not in Luoyang. In Luoyang, the house collapsed.

It looked fine on the surface, but when the Xue family was about to go to Beijing and order people to start cleaning the mansion, they unexpectedly opened the door to the main house and the house collapsed instantly, almost burying the man inside!

I have no choice but to repair it. After all, I have to stay in Luoyang permanently.

The Xue family's original plan to go to Beijing in February or March this year when the river melted was also postponed until now.

However, the mansion still has a one-month construction period, and it will not be completely completed until around the tenth day of August this year.

This time the Xue family didn't want to wait any longer. Now the only person in the entire Xue family who could speak loudly was Mrs. Stay for some time.

Although there was a verbal promise to take Xue Baochai as a concubine, and the Xue family came to Beijing this time to handle this matter, Xue Baochai had not yet entered the house after all, and it would not look good for the Xue family to live in the county government's mansion.

Besides, no matter what, the Xue family has been married to the three families of Jia Shi and Wang for many years. The Jia family should not say it was grand, but they should also receive it solemnly.

In Rongxi Hall, except for Jia Hui who was away due to work today, everyone from the first and second bedrooms came.

Because Jia Zhu moved out of Rongguo Mansion after returning to China. Of course, he lived not far away, on Ningrong Street. Jia Zhu took his wife and children back to Rongguo Mansion early. Unexpectedly, he arrived too early, and even the people in the big house hadn't arrived yet!

Jia She, who was sitting on the left side of the Rongxi Hall, held his youngest granddaughter in his arms and fed dried fruits to his six older grandchildren with a kind face.

Originally, Jia She didn't want to come, but when he thought that his grandchildren would come together, his old legs walked towards Rongxi Hall uncontrollably.

Now the family is all on their own, so the granddaughters can still stay here. When the Xue family comes over, the granddaughters will be taken to the back room of Rongxi Hall to meet the mother and daughter of the Xue family.

Seeing his six grandchildren all blinking at him with big, watery eyes and looking expectantly on their faces, Jia She instantly fell into the worry of happiness, and really didn't know who to feed them first.

Just when he was worried, he saw his youngest son Jia Congzheng looking like a fool and rubbing his little niece's face with one finger. Jia She became angry and hugged his little granddaughter with his left hand, and then hit her hard with his right hand. Jia Cong's head.

"Little Wang, don't you see that your nieces and nephews are hungry? Why don't you help me feed my father?"

Six grandchildren were present. Jia She really didn't want to lose the majestic image of his grandfather in front of them, so the "little bastard" he usually called Jia Cong was changed to "boy". Even the most commonly used self-identification as "Laozi" has now been changed to "father", which really allowed Jia Cong to experience a father's love that he could not feel at all on ordinary days.

Jia Cong was so frightened that he trembled and had goosebumps all over his body. He felt uncomfortable all over.

Sitting on the right is the second bedroom.

Six years later, Jia Zheng, who finally accepted that he could only be a wealthy idler in this life, was holding his eldest grandson Jia Lan and chatting with the eldest son Jia Zhu sitting next to him, while Jia Baoyu, who was wearing a red arrow-sleeved robe, He stood behind his father and eldest brother somewhat cautiously, timidly.

Now the old lady is talking to several ladies and sisters-in-law in the back room. Every one of the adults in Rongxi Hall is qualified to beat the shit out of him. There is no way. Jia Baoyu is not protected by the old lady. I can only keep my tail between my legs for the time being.

Compared with the original work, Jia Baoyu's life in this life is so scary.

Although the Jia family had fallen to the second level in terms of power in the previous life, this had nothing to do with Jia Baoyu. He could be the master at home, and he could do whatever he wanted!

As long as the old lady and the Wang family survive, Jia Baoyu will be the devil incarnate in the Jia family!

Unless he meets his father Jia Zheng.

What about this life?

The return of the Jia family to the top family did not bring him any convenience. Even because Jia Hui, the cousin of the county government next door, didn't like him very much, many of the officials' brothers didn't have much contact with him for fear of offending the prince. brow.

But as if destined, people such as Feng Ziying, Liu Xianglian and even Jiang Yuhan still got to know him.

As for why I brought Jiang Yuhan’s sweat towel home.

Even if his love is as deep as precious jade, he would not dare to do this. Although his father, Jia Zheng, is too lazy to talk to him because of the loss of his official position, he will still take care of him on a whim, and once he takes care of him, he will not be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half.

Therefore, the eldest brother Jia Zhu took over the responsibility of disciplining him, even more harshly than his father.

Jia Zhengguan said that he would spend most of his time free-range and occasionally play a dozen. But Jia Zhu is different. Jia Zhu is like an old woman, checking his homework every day. If he fails to check, he will be whipped with a ruler!

Even if Jia Zhu occasionally gets busy and doesn't have time, his sister-in-law, who is said to have a rare opponent in Peiping, will come over on his behalf.

Whenever Jia Baoyu thought of his sister-in-law, who smiled tenderly at him while strangling his little boy to kill his own bird, and breaking the arm of the hoe with his own hands, his legs could not stop trembling. .

Facing his sister-in-law, Jia Baoyu, who disliked the red tape and etiquette the most, couldn't help but start to use etiquette to fight back, saying that the sister-in-law and brother-in-law should not have such frequent contact, nor should they be so cruel, and not loving at all. This is not the case. Respect women!

But the sister-in-law still smiled tenderly at him, stretched out her legs, threw Jia Baoyu to the ground, and whipped him severely with a whip.

In this regard, even if Mrs. Wang came, she couldn't control it at all.

No way, the eldest sister-in-law has a great background. His uncle is the current chief minister of the cabinet, and he is an old acquaintance with the cousin Jia Hui next door. When they were young, they often competed together in martial arts. Even the marriage between the eldest brother Jia Zhu and the eldest sister-in-law was attributed to Jia Hui. Mrs. Wang is qualified to take charge of the one that Hui started to set up, but she doesn’t dare to take charge of it at all!

Just when Jia Baoyu was standing behind her father and elder brother, feeling sorry for herself and secretly feeling sad, a young man came in and announced that the Xue family's wife, uncle, and girl had arrived!

. . . . . .

Wang Xue and her daughter had their maids lead them to the back room, while Xue Pan and Jia Lian went to Rongxi Hall together.

When you first arrive, you need to be introduced by someone you know.

"Haha, Brother Xue, this is my master, the hereditary Marquis of Rongguo Mansion."

"Xue Pan pays homage to Marquis Rong!" When they met for the first time, Xue Pan used Jia She's most formal title to address him.

Over the years, the people of the Xue family have brought him to and from home, and they have learned a little bit about the world.

Sure enough, when he heard Xue Pan's name, Jia She was secretly happy, thinking that this kid is really on the road, and he can take care of him more in the future!

"Hahaha, why do we have to be so close to each other? How many years have we been close to each other? Just call me 'Uncle She'!" Jia She said with a smile.

"Nephew Xue Pan pays homage to Uncle She!" Xue Pan, who had not yet gotten up, hit the snake with a stick and quickly shouted obediently again, making Jia She laugh happily.

Jia She has finished saying hello, and the only one left is himself. "Nephew Xue Pan, meet my uncle!" No need for Jia Lian to introduce him, this man Xue Pan is so familiar.

It is my aunt's husband Jia Zheng, Mr. Zheng!

"My nephew doesn't need to be polite!" Jia Zheng bent down and helped him up, and looked at Xue Pan carefully.

Well, he has a strong body and a good appearance, but his face always exudes a kind of awkwardness, which makes him look like he is not very smart.

After thinking about it carefully, Jia Zheng suddenly asked: "What book is my nephew reading now?"

Xue Pan was stunned and didn't know how to answer. Jia Lian next to him wanted to laugh when he saw his stupid look, but when he saw his father staring at him, he quickly lowered his head and stood still.

Seeing that Xue Pan was stunned and silent, Jia Zheng understood. However, after all, he was his wife's nephew. He still had a trace of luck in his heart, so he asked: "Have you finished reading the Book of Songs?"

Xue Pan scratched his big head and asked blankly: "What is the Book of Songs?"

Seeing his appearance, Jia Zheng gave up completely. He sighed helplessly, turned around and sat back in his seat.

Xue Pan looked at Jia Lian with some confusion, and the eldest man Jia She suddenly smiled and said: "My nephew will be fine in the future. Come and sit with me, uncle. I have a lot of old wines here, just waiting for my nephew to come and taste them."

He knew at a glance that Xue Pan was also an ignorant bastard, but he, Jia She, still liked this boy's stupidity, which showed that he was not very thoughtful and easy to get along with. And Xue Pan is not without his merits, he is sweet-tongued and rich!

So Jia She decided to take him with him.

Xue Pan accepted Jia She's kindness without thinking. On the one hand, this master She would be his sister's father-in-law in the future. If you can serve this man well and serve him well, then you will be able to find a supporter for your sister.

Secondly, this is also a serious marquis. For such a person to think highly of me, this is also a rare opportunity. I really met a noble person this time when I came to Beijing!

"Of course, my nephew will definitely visit Uncle Pardon someday with heavy gifts!" Xue Pan emphasized the emphasis on the word "big gifts".

"Goodness, the highest good!" Jia Jiu twirled his beard and laughed, secretly thinking that he was indeed right, this boy is indeed the best!

. . . . . .

The inner room of Rongxi Hall.

"elder sister!"

After many years, Xue Wang saw her sister Wang Shuqing, who had grown up with her, again. She was so excited that she burst into tears. She even forgot to say hello to the old lady and went straight forward to hold Jia Wang's hand.

Mrs. Jia Wang, who also missed her sister, also shed tears and said with emotion: "Sisters and you said goodbye, and we haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years. How has my sister been doing these past few years?"

“It’s all good, it’s all good”

As soon as these words came out, the two sisters looked at each other with their red eyes. They could no longer suppress the feelings in their hearts and hugged each other and cried to vent their sadness over the years.

Jia Wang and Xue Wang were born on the same mother's side. They were both legitimate daughters of the Wang family, but the former was married to Jia Zheng, the legitimate son of the second wife of the Rongguo Mansion. Although it is a second-bedroom apartment, it is still an official family.

As for the latter, after marrying Jinling Ziwei Sheren, Xue Qin, the head of the Xue family named Huangshang, who was actually a merchant family, became the mistress of the house.

The two sisters, who were originally from the same mother and were closely related to each other, developed an insurmountable gap due to their status, family and other reasons after they got married, which is very sad.

When the two of them had cried enough, Mrs. Xue Wang wiped her tears. As the mistress of the house, she knew that she had just been rude in front of the old lady of the Jia family. Mrs. Jia Wang also realized this and quickly pulled Mrs. Xue Came to Jia Mu.

"Sister, come and see the old lady." Mrs. Wang let go of her sister's hand, stepped back slightly and said to Mrs. Xue Wang.

Mrs. Xue Wang didn't hesitate and knelt down to kowtow.

Jia Mu said quickly: "Hurry up, get up quickly! What is Mrs. Xue doing? Our family doesn't like this."

Hearing this, the two youngest daughters-in-law in the house, Wang Xifeng and Li Peilan (Jia Zhu's wife), stepped forward and helped Aunt Xue up, one on the left and the other on the right.

Li Wan, the first mistress of the Duke's Mansion next door, was sitting next to Mrs. Behind Wang Xue, the plump figure wearing a conical hat.

Seeing that the young woman sitting on the cloud bed just nodded to herself, and then made no other movements, Wang Xue felt unhappy at first, but then suddenly remembered that this senior officer seemed to be the same age as the Taiwei.

This should be the Taiwei's wife, Mrs. Li of Dunhuang County, right? Then the person next to her is Madam Ronghou Xing?

So Mrs. Xue Wang turned around without hesitation and saluted Mrs. Xing and Li Wan again: "I, Mrs. Xue Wang, pay my respects to the two ladies!"

"No courtesy, we are all members of our family, why should we be so polite?" Li Wan smiled and quickly stood up to help Mr. Xue Wang.

Just now, as a county lady, etiquette cannot be discarded, so I asked Mrs. Xue to salute first. After Mrs. Xue salutes, after the official business is over, it is a personal relationship, and she is an elder.

Mrs. Xing also stood up and took Mrs. Xue Wang's hand to chat with her. Although she was Li Wan's theoretical mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing really did not dare to take Qiao in front of Li Wan, and even took Li Wan as the main one.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Xue suddenly remembered that the real person who came to Beijing this time had not been introduced to everyone, so she quickly turned around, took Xue Baochai and said: "Daughter, I haven't come to see the old lady, the two ladies and Auntie!"

Hearing this, Xue Baochai gently took off the conical hat he was wearing. First he knelt down and kowtowed three times to Jia Mu. After Jia Mu called out, he looked at her carefully and saw that she was elegant and well-born. With joy in her heart, she patted the bed next to her and said with a smile: "Go and see your aunt first, and then come and sit here with me."

There was no mention of the two elder brothers who made her miserable.

However, the old lady doesn't have to say it, but Xue Baochai has to know how to appreciate it. Isn't she afraid that Li Wan will give her small shoes when she enters the county government's house in the future?

So he took the lead and kowtowed a few times to Mr. Xing and Li Wan, and then turned around and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Wang.

However, Xue Baochai's behavior did not cause any discomfort to Mrs. Jia and Wang. It was etiquette to bow to those with high status first. On the contrary, seeing that she was plump and rosy, and that she was her sister's child and loved the house, Mrs. Wang liked her very much. He helped him up and said, "What a good boy! Go sit next to the old lady and come to our courtyard to talk with your mother at night!"

Jia Mu held Xue Baochai's hand, asked a few questions, and then said to Li Wan, "Go and bring them all out."

Li Wan nodded in agreement, then got off the cloud bed, and went to the side room to ask the eight children of the Jia family and their three aunts to come out to meet the guests.

　Try to write a courtyard drama seriously. If you don’t write well, please give me some advice!
