Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Xue Baobao was definitely not a wealthy person, and Lin Daiyu soon discovered that she had something on her mind.

Furthermore, Yu Xin has not returned home for several days. As long as he is in the capital, he has never had such a precedent——

But even if she knew why her sister was unhappy, how could she help?

Lin Daiyu also became worried. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to ask Wang Xifeng for help.

Sister Feng is so powerful, she must have a way!
Lin Daiyu made up her mind and returned to Lin Mansion, asking Lin Ruhai to take her to Jia Mansion to find Wang Xifeng.

Although Lin Ruhai was extremely unhappy that Lin Daiyu had more contact with the Jia Mansion, he still couldn't withstand Lin Daiyu's begging. When he was sleeping, he took Lin Daiyu to the Jia Mansion.

Unexpectedly, Jia Mu is ill.

The reason is very simple. Jia Baoyu is ill and is making trouble every day to become a monk. Jia's mother is angry and worried, and the weather suddenly turns cold, so she inevitably falls ill.

When Lin Daiyu was in Jia's house, Jia's mother loved her very much, except that she was overly partial to Jia Baoyu.

Lin Daiyu kept it in mind, and when she saw Jia Mu's sickly face, she said she would stay and take care of Jia Mu's illness.

Jia Mu was really in a bad mood during this period, but she was quite relieved to see Lin Daiyu like this, and said with a smile, "My old lady has a lot of people to serve, so there is no need for you, a little person, to serve any disease.

But we, Daiyu, haven’t been here for a long time, and my old lady really misses her a little, so she just happened to stay for a few more days this time.”

Lin Daiyu couldn't help crying. Seeing this, Lin Ruhai couldn't say anything about taking Lin Daiyu away immediately. After doing the courtesy, he said goodbye and left.

Jia's mother was ill. In addition to Mrs. Wang who was imprisoned in Huancui'an and Wang Xifeng who was still recovering from her illness, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, the Sanchun sisters, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from Dongfu all came to attend to the illness, and even Shi Xiangyun came.

Only at this time Shi Xiangyun went to see Jia Baoyu and was not in Jia's mother's room.

Lin Daiyu accompanied Jia Mu for a conversation. Seeing that Jia Mu was not in good spirits, she personally helped Jia Mu lie down and withdrew from Xing and others.

Tanchun said, "Sister Lin, my second brother is also sick. Let's go and have a look together. My second brother will definitely be happy to see you."

Jia Baoyu still lived in Jia Mu's blue gauze cupboard. Since Lin Daiyu was here, it would be inappropriate not to take a look, so she nodded.

Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu was just talking to Shi Xiangyun in an upright manner. When he saw her coming, he immediately started crying, "Since you ignored me, why did you come to see me again? Just let me die!"

I will die while you are here. If you cry, my tears will flow into a river, float my body up, and send it to a secluded place where no bird can reach, and let it fade away with the wind. From now on, I will never be reborn as a human being again. , I died at the right time! "

Lin Daiyu, "..."

stunned!

Lin Daiyu felt that she should sneer at this time, but somehow, her tears burst out uncontrollably, and she cried, "You will die if you die, and why do you involve me? Could it be that I killed you?" Can’t do it?”

When Jia Baoyu heard that her words were exactly the same as Xue Baobao's, she felt even more sad and cried even more miserably, "As expected, as expected, you and Sister Bao don't want anything to do with me! I should have died a long time ago!"

Tanchun heard what he said didn't sound right and hurriedly advised, "Second brother, it's hard for Sister Lin to come here.

If you keep saying crazy things and make Sister Lin angry, and you want to see her again, you don’t know when."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu stopped crying, and Tanchun pushed Lin Daiyu, "Sister Lin, you also advise my second brother to become a monk when he sees the world making trouble. What do you mean?"

In fact, Lin Daiyu didn't want to care about Jia Baoyu's affairs at all, but somehow she still managed to say, "A monk? Why do you want to become a monk?"

Jia Baoyu cried again, "You ignored me, Sister Bao ignored me, and Miaoyu left again. If I don't become a monk, why should I stay here?"

Lin Daiyu almost wanted to slap him in the face, but the tears in her eyes became more urgent for some unknown reason.

She was angry and anxious, but couldn't control her tears at all, and shouted angrily, "You say such crazy things again!
It's as if I made you want to become a monk!It also involves Sister Bao and Miaoyu!
Spread the word, should we still be human beings?
I'm warning you, if you dare to talk nonsense like that again, be careful I slap you in the mouth! "

At this time, Lin Daiyu is naturally no longer the Lin Daiyu in the original work. She has support and Xue Baobao's influence. When she feels humiliated, she must fight back.

Jia Baoyu was stunned, sisters Sanchun and Shi Xiangyun were also stunned, quarreling?Is this what Sister Lin said?
Lin Daiyu put down her words, wiped her tears with her sleeves and walked out. It was useless, why cry?

If he really dares to say it, just beat him. At worst, he will complain to his father, his eldest brother, and sister Bao. Why cry?

Lin Daiyu was furious and walked very fast, all the way to Wang Xifeng's residence.

Wang Xifeng was checking accounts with Yuanyang. Although Jia Mu warned her not to touch the people around Jia Baoyu, she did not embarrass her in other places.

She was not polite to Jia Mu, and spent these days reselling Jia Mu's private treasure to make up for the family's shortfall.

She now holds real power. She knew it as soon as Lin Daiyu and her daughter came in. She was shocked when she saw Lin Daiyu running over crying, and asked what was wrong.

Lin Daiyu refused to say anything, so Yuanyang took the opportunity to leave. Lin Daiyu choked and told what had just happened, and said bitterly, "Sister Feng, do you think it's annoying or not?"
Even if the old lady doesn't care, doesn't the second uncle also care?Just let him destroy people's reputations like this and involve a monk? "

Wang Xifeng sighed and patted her hand reassuringly, "He hasn't been like this for a day or two. Don't be angry. It's not worth it. Just avoid him in the future.

Come on, wash your face first and put on your makeup again. If Niuniu sees it, she will think that I bullied you and you will definitely want to settle the score with me."

Lin Daiyu laughed out loud at what she said, and obediently went to clean her face and apply makeup.

Lin Daiyu had something hidden in her heart, but such a thing also involved Xue Baobao's privacy. As a girl, it was difficult for her to open her mouth, and she stopped talking several times.

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "What? Just now you were fiercely trying to hit Brother Bao in the mouth, but now you don't even dare to say anything?"

Lin Daiyu's heart skipped a beat and she said, "Big brother hasn't been home for several days. Sister Bao is very sad."

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You, you mean-"

Lin Daiyu hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say anything. I came here just to ask you to mention it in front of my wife. Sister Bao will get her haircut soon."

Wang Xifeng glared at her, slapped her hand away, and lowered her voice, "Are you sure?"

Lin Daiyu's pretty face flushed, "I think it's at least [-]-[-]% accurate. Big brother is good to us all, but he treats Sister Bao very differently.

Moreover, the eldest brother is still not married, and he doesn’t even have a maid to serve him."

Wang Xifeng was puzzled, "So, do you think the eldest cousin is waiting for Sister Bao to grow up?

But there’s no need to leave even a single maid around, right?Forget it when Sister Bao grows up, do you still have to protect yourself like a jade for Sister Bao? Lin Daiyu blushed even more. She was already embarrassed and embarrassed that a girl who had not yet left the court could bring up a marriage for Xue Baobao. How could she dare to accept Wang Xifeng's words? She just said, "Sister Feng, go and mention it to your wife." The laws of this dynasty do not say that adopted brothers and sisters cannot get married!

If so, Sister Bao and I will both remember your affection, if not, it’s just a matter of a few words.”

Wang Xifeng smiled, "If so, Sister Bao will naturally want to thank me for being a great matchmaker. Why do you remember my love? Could it be that you ask me to help you find a suitable husband by the way?"

Lin Daiyu sighed, "I'm talking to you seriously, and you're making fun of me again!"

Wang Xifeng sighed again, "If it is true, then my eldest cousin is really——"

Lin Daiyu's eyes were bright, "You are really a wishful man, aren't you?
I have been thinking these past few days, my eldest brother is capable, capable and considerate, has a good life, and is clean and tidy!
If there is anyone in this world who is worthy of Sister Bao, then it is definitely my eldest brother!
Two years ago, my wife secretly talked about marrying Sister Bao to Brother Bao, and Brother Bao was not worthy enough to carry Sister Bao's shoes! "

Wang Xifeng laughed and reached out to touch her hair, "Okay, leave this matter to me, don't worry, I will take care of it for you.

My aunt is currently busy with Yinglian's marriage, and Sister Bao's wedding ceremony is approaching, so we should wait until Sister Bao's wedding and Yinglian's marriage is finalized."

If this is really the wish of the eldest cousin and Bao Yatou, she will naturally make them get their wish!
Lin Daiyu relieved her worries and felt her whole body relaxed a lot.

Wang Xifeng took her to visit the Grand View Garden, "My Majesty, I am gracious and said that this garden was wasted, and my family was allowed to live in it.

The old lady asked me to choose first, and I was not polite and chose the best Yihongyuan.

You have good taste and are good at reading. Please help me see where I need to add or subtract. Make it more elegant and nurture it. I hope that Niu Niu will become a talented woman like her Aunt Lin."

Although Wang Xifeng's knee had healed, she didn't want to attend to Jia Mu, so she pretended that it was not healed and still sat on the sliding pole.

Lin Daiyu was also very happy, "Then when we come to visit Sister Feng, we don't have to go to Jia's house to meet Brother Bao."

Wang Xifeng pinched her face lovingly, "Look at how scared our sister Lin is. Don't worry, I will avenge you someday!"

Lin Daiyu just thought she said it casually and didn't take it to heart at all, but Wang Xifeng was serious.

She has always done things neatly. These days, she has exchanged everything Jia Mu is willing to give into cash, plus all the money stolen from Zhou Rui and Leng Zixing's homes to make up for the shortfall.

This time, she didn't get money from it. Rongguo Mansion was her Rongguo Mansion, so how could she get money from her own house?
Once her mentality has been corrected, she will naturally stop doing those trivial things.

Wang Xifeng corrected her mentality, and Jia Zheng finally repaired his face with some repairs, and mustered up the courage to go to the Yamen again.

Unexpectedly, on the first day he came home from the Yamen, he would be blocked by someone who was a creditor.

If it were in the past, no one would go to Rongguo Mansion to ask for debts, and the debts would not be charged to Jia Zheng.

But Wang Xifeng had to be very skillful in repaying debts, starting with small amounts and gradually transitioning to large amounts.

With Jia Mu's rich private collection and the money collected by Zhou Rui, she has almost cleared all the small and large debts, leaving only the largest debt owed to two banks.

The Jia family has been settling accounts everywhere recently, so the merchants naturally heard about it and were very happy.

But they didn't want to know that they didn't know it at the critical moment. Naturally, the bank was unwilling to accept it and sent people to inquire overtly or covertly.

Wang Xifeng had paid off enough of her filial piety to give them some wind. She had no money, and the rest of the account was under the control of Jia Zheng.

Such a large amount of money could be collected in one day, and the interest alone would be considerable enough.

When the two banks combined, they finally had the courage to block Jia Zheng.

It was the first time in Jia Zheng's life that someone wanted to pay him for a debt. The key was that he couldn't afford to pay it back. He felt like his whole life's face had been peeled off. Zi blushed and said that he didn't care about such things.

The two banks had already blocked Jia Zheng's path. They had already offended him, so they naturally refused to return without success.

He just said how could a master like him not have this little money? The New Year was coming soon, and they also needed to eat. Now that Mrs. Wang was staying behind closed doors, they could only look for him, Jia Zheng and so on.

Jia Zheng was so troubled that he had no choice but to go home and ask his relatives.

Naturally, the two banks refused to let him go, so they sent the account books to him and cried, "Master Jia, you have pity on us.

Your house's debt has been delayed for too long. If we don't come back, our boss will definitely fire us!
We still have a large family to support!Please give me a deadline so that we can deal with our boss! "

Jia Zheng was so pestered that he had to say that he would return it in half a month.

The two shopkeepers refused to rest assured, "In half a month, we will go to your house to collect the bill. We also asked the second master to prepare the money, otherwise we will have no choice but to block the door of your house."

The two shopkeepers were both old and sophisticated. After just a few back and forth, they discovered that Jia Zheng loved face, was clumsy in words, and did not understand vulgar things. They were much easier to deal with than the wealthy slaves in Jia's family, so they threatened him with the face he valued most. .

Sure enough, Jia Zheng didn't dare to delay at all, and ordered Jia Lian to come after returning home.

After Wang Xifeng's advice, Jia Lian honestly told the situation at home and cried, "Second Master, you also know the situation at home.

Fortunately, the old lady still had some belongings, and 10,000+ silver was found from Zhou Rui and Leng Zixing's home. Otherwise, by the end of the year, our door would have been blocked by creditors!
But we don't dare to bully others like the second wife did in previous years. Shi Qiang told those creditors not to even show their faces, and they can only swallow the pain in their stomachs! "

Jia Zheng was speechless for a long time and said dejectedly, "I still have some calligraphy, paintings and antiques here. I will pack them out later and send them to you. You can help me exchange some money and pay off the debt first."

Jia Lian said goodbye and left. Jia Zheng sat there for a long time, then stood up and cleaned up. Looking at the calligraphy and paintings all over the room, he felt like his heart was cut by a knife.

He was reluctant to part with this one, and he was even more reluctant to part with that one. He spent a lot of money on each one, and some even went through many twists and turns before buying them.

Now, now I have to sell them all for that stupid woman!
When Jia Zheng thought of this, he suddenly felt blessed. Since it was that stupid woman's fault, why did she sell his things?

That stupid woman also hid a lot of good things!
Jia Zheng felt relieved when he thought about it, and ordered Yu Chuan to come over.

Mrs. Wang went to Cucui'an to think about it. Naturally, Jia Mu refused to ask her to bring the maid she was used to, so she was allowed to bring two maids, while Yu Chuan and others remained in her house.

The jade bracelet came quickly. After hearing Jia Zheng's words, he was trembling and dared not respond.

If the madam comes back and finds out that she helped the master sell the things in her house, she will definitely kill her!

Jia Zheng frowned in displeasure when he saw that a little girl dared to disobey him, "What? I can't give you orders?"
