Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 112 There is no way to ask for help
Bring it over?Baoyu is at the old lady's place right now, how can I bring him here?
Jia Sheni glanced sideways and said, "It sounds like the second brother can really surpass his mother."

Jia Zheng's face turned red and he said dejectedly: "What can I do? What can I do?"

Jia Zheng was also beaten by the old prince since he was a child. Like Jia Zhen of Dongfu, he believed that filial sons would emerge from the stick.However, Jia Zhu died in infancy and got a precious jade born with a jade in his mouth. The old lady and Mrs. Wang doted on him more and more. With the old lady protecting him, he couldn't discipline him even if he wanted to.

Coupled with the accusations made by his concubine Zhao Auntie, Jia Zheng became even more disinclined to see Baoyu.

Jia She pondered and said: "No matter what, it is wrong to hurt brother Jian this time. In my opinion, we two brothers should go to our mother to talk to Qianer, so as not to hurt the relationship between relatives."

As far as Jia Zheng was concerned, he initially thought that Li Weijian was just a jobber. Unexpectedly, in just three months, he had put up such a huge battle. The dignitaries were friendly with him. The emperor and princes had personally seen him. The girls all said they wanted to make good friends, because Li Weijian's image in Jia Zheng's heart had changed again and again, and now it was a little unclear.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he sighed and nodded: "That's right, we can't hurt the relationship between relatives."

Now the two gentlemen came out of the study room together and headed towards the inner house.In a blink of an eye, they passed the hanging flower gate, and the maid informed them early. When the two entered the main room, Jia Mu was already sitting on the couch.

The eldest man, Jia She, took a sneak look and saw that the younger girls had already retired, leaving only Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng waiting in front of the old lady. Mrs. Wang had red circles in her eyes and kept sobbing.

When the two met Jia Mu, Jia Mu said sadly: "There has been a lot of commotion just now, and now I am tired. If you two have anything to say, please talk quickly."

The elder Jia She was silent, and Jia Zheng said: "Mother, did you hurt brother Jian just now?"

Jia Mu said, "Baoyu lost his temper and threw the vase randomly. Fortunately, brother Jian stopped him, otherwise he would have smashed Yu'er."

"The bastard is becoming more and more useless!" Jia Zheng could no longer suppress his anger and trembled: "Where is the bastard now? I will kill this beast today!"

"Master!" Mrs. Wang cried: "I am in my fifties and have a child like this at my knees. You can't do that!"

Mother Jia frowned and said patiently: "He is still young, but he just lost his temper. Now he regrets it. What are you going to teach him?"

"We can't let this beast continue to run wild! Mother, spoiling a child is like harming a child!"

After Jia Zheng said this, the eldest master Jia She also said: "My second brother is right. Since ancient times, drowning a child is like killing a child, but there is no need to shout about beating and killing."

Jia Zheng was startled and looked at Jia She in confusion.Mother Jia was also hesitant, thinking that the eldest son rarely said a human word, and she didn't know what he had in mind.

Because Jia's mother also looked at Jia She, the elder Jia She stroked his beard and thought: "I see that Baoyu is too pampered and lacks discipline. It's better to let my sister-in-law take over and restrain her. After all, my mother is old. Years old, and there is a granddaughter taking care of her, which is sometimes not careful."

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately sneered, and she had already guessed Jia She's thoughts.

I am not careful, and as I get older, I will naturally not be able to run the house. Mrs. Wang has to take care of Baoyu, so I am afraid she will not be able to run the house. The only mistress of the inner house is Mrs. Xing, and it will not be the big house that has the final say. Already?
After Jia She finished speaking, seeing that Jia's mother didn't say anything, he simply turned and looked at Jia Zheng: "Second brother, what do you think of this method?"

"This... mother still has the final say." Jia Zheng is just an old-fashioned man, and he is not really stupid. How could he not guess Jia She's thoughts?Because one push made two, six, and five, it was simply pushed to Jia Mu.

Mother Jia frowned and sighed: "I'm too old now, and there are times when I can't take care of it. I think it's better to separate the families. When the time comes, each house will take care of its own house."

The eldest master, Jia She, thought for a moment that it would be a good idea to divide the family property.But when I thought about it again, I suddenly broke into a cold sweat.At this time, according to the law, parents do not divide the family, and if the unfilial descendants divide the family property, the government can punish them with unfilial piety.

What the old lady said was clearly to retreat in order to advance.

The eldest man quickly tried to dissuade her, but Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng all came up to comfort her. It took a lot of persuasion for Jia Mu to take back her words.

The elder was secretly annoyed that such a good opportunity was passed over by the old lady.At that moment, Jia She was no longer in a good mood, said a few words with a straight face, and then left.

When he got back to his inner house, the elder couldn't help but feel angry.I was thinking very well before looking for Jia Zheng, but unexpectedly, I was exposed by the old lady.He is not a quick-witted person. If there was a wise person discussing it on the side, I'm afraid the situation would be different, right?
Jia She felt sorry, and suddenly thought of Li Weijian.Ordinarily, the man surnamed Li must have a lot of wisdom and tricks to put up such a battle, right?It was a pity that Mrs.

I won't mention what Jia She was thinking about Li Weijian, but let's talk about the small courtyard in the northeast.

Li Wan accompanied him, and the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing, talked for a long time in a nonchalant manner, but finally ran out of words.The two girls were not happy to welcome the Spring Festival. Because Li Wan was there, they remained silent for a long time.

Mrs. Xing thought that she had betrayed Li Weijian this time, so she had no choice but to lead Yingchun back with Shi Shiran.As soon as these two people left, the warblers and swallows followed one after another.

The first ones to come are exploring spring and appreciating spring.Two little girls visited Baoyu and heard that Li Weijian was injured, so they turned around and looked for him.

Tanchun was already on good terms with Li Weijian, and he would come to the small courtyard to practice swordsmanship with Li Weijian every morning, so he was naturally concerned. Tan Chun and Li Weijian were left to talk.

Tanchun has a cheerful temperament, but he is also considerate at his age. He did not mention how he was injured throughout the whole process, but was only concerned about Li Weijian's injury. He said many things in a vague way, such as not to touch the water, not to see the wind, and not to touch randomly. Young adults are usually eloquent, so Li Weijian repeatedly praised her: "The third sister is really thoughtful."

Li Weijian usually said the same thing, but this time Li Wan was nearby. He blushed because it was Tan Chun and said, "How can I be so careful? These are just what others said. I wrote them down. Now I’m just showing off.”

Without waiting for Li Weijian to speak, Li Wan said: "It is not easy to learn and use it well. How many people have been confused all their lives and may not understand this. It is very rare for the third sister to know it at such an age."

Tanchun smiled and said, "What my sister-in-law said, I don't even know how to answer."

Li Wan smiled on his face and thought to himself.Compared with the second girl who looked like a boring gourd just now, this third girl is actually a good match.In terms of appearance and temperament, he is the perfect choice for the mistress.However, she is the daughter of a concubine, and she has a brainless biological mother like Aunt Zhao, so I am afraid she is not good enough for Brother Jian.

She raised her eyes and glanced around, catching a glimpse of the quiet Xichun.I secretly thought that the fourth girl's background was not bad, but one thing was that she was young, and the other was that her temperament was too cold.And the East Mansion is so messy... It would be great if the interests of these two people could be combined in one place.

After talking for a while, Tanchun and Xichun got up and said goodbye when they saw that Li Weijian was indeed fine.At this moment, someone came to visit again.Li Weijian arrived at the door and saw Baochai, Daiyu and Xiangyun coming together.Baochai and Xiangyun were a little closer and were saying this; Daiyu was two steps away from them, with a worried look on her face, slightly distant.

The three girls also visited Baoyu, and after he drank the medicinal soup and fell asleep, they turned to see Li Weijian.

Seeing Li Weijian, Baochai stopped talking and said with concern on his face: "Why did fourth brother Jian come out to greet him? He was injured just now, and it's not good to be in the limelight."

Xiangyun also said: "Is Fourth Brother Jian okay?"

"It's okay, it's just a small injury. It's scabbed now. Thank you for coming early. If it had been later, the injury would have healed."

Xiangyun was immediately amused: "Giggles, fourth brother Jian is so funny. He can still joke like this, I guess this injury is no problem."

Baochai said worriedly: "There is no harm in always being careful."

"Thank you, Sister Xue, for reminding me. You three sisters, please come in quickly."

When the three of them entered, they saw the elder sister-in-law Li Wan, Tan Chun and Xichun. They greeted each other and then took their seats respectively.

Baochai acted thoughtfully, and after saying a few words, he presented the panax notoginseng powder he had brought, saying that it had miraculous effects when applied externally.Then he talked about a lot of things one by one, and he said them in a eloquent way. It all sounded like he was sincerely concerned, but when he looked into it carefully, it felt like he was reciting something.

Li Weijian agreed with a smile on his face and looked around. Baochai looked at him with clarity in his eyes.Li Weijian couldn't help but admire in his heart, his character is probably not much worse than his teacher Yan Xiyao!
There is a saying in the mind: Taishan collapses in front but does not change color, elk rises to the left but does not blink, then it can control the advantages and disadvantages and wait for the enemy.

It's a pity that Sister Bao is a girl and her vision is a bit narrow, otherwise she might be the next Yan Xiyao.

Baochai said this, and Xiangyun followed suit.Even though she is young, she still loves to be playful and lively. As soon as she said a few words of concern, she couldn't help but say: "Brother Jian, do you have any other words in your book? I've already seen the Condor Shooting." .”

Li Weijian blinked: "Have you seen it all?"

Although he only remembered a few words, he also wrote hundreds of thousands of words in regular script, which were listed in a thick stack of four volumes. In just a few days, Xiangyun had finished reading them?
Xiangyun nodded and said, "I didn't quite recognize some words, so I asked Cuilu to read them and listen to them. Later, I asked Sister Zijuan to read them and listen to them. I've finished listening to them this afternoon."

Daiyu couldn't help but say at this moment: "Also, Xiangyun was thinking of having a good time playing naughty with the sisters these two days, but he saw the story book of Fourth Brother Jian, and he picked it up and never put it down. In addition to eating and sleeping , I don’t even have to say a word to my family every day, I just listen to what I’m saying.”

Xiangyun said with a smile: "It's all because Brother Jian's words are so good." After a pause, he looked at Li Weijian and said expectantly: "Brother Jian, please don't hide it. I've heard it said by Third Sister. Fourth Brother Jian has written a lot of storybooks. Hmm... I'm going back tomorrow, I wonder if you can borrow them back... I'll give them back to Fourth Brother Jian when I come back next time."

Facing that expectant gaze, Li Weijian felt moved.Xiangyun has lost his parents since he was a child, and now lives with his second aunt, and the Shi family has a strict family tradition. The second aunt took the female family members to light lamps and cook oil to become a nvhong. Xiangyun was not happy at his age, so he I look forward to being picked up from Rongguo Mansion every day.

There are some stories in this book. I think you can live a happier life in Xiangyun, right?Li Weijian nodded and said, "Okay, let's take them together later. I still have some here."

Xiangyun was immediately overjoyed: "Brother Jian is so good!"

Li Weijian responded with a smile and glanced at Daiyu aside.Perhaps because there were so many people around, she didn't say much. She only made a few jokes, but her eyes were always fixed on Li Weijian without changing her direction.The concern within is self-evident.

With a personality like Daiyu's, she usually looks aloof and aloof, but in fact she has low self-esteem and self-pity, and she has a rich heart.It is an exaggeration to say that the second girl has a good show in welcoming the spring, but Daiyu really has a good show.

She comes from a superior family and does not lack fine clothing and food. She does not lack the false greetings. What she lacks is sincerity. What she lacks is a confidant like "I may not say it but you definitely understand me".

Li Weijian's heart moved, and he immediately nodded slightly towards Daiyu, took a deep look at her, and then turned to talk to Baochai.

Xiangyun didn't pay attention to his glance, but the remaining people remembered it in their hearts.Tanchun glanced at Daiyu suspiciously, and then suddenly realized that it was because Brother Jian saved Sister Lin just now, and this nod was to tell Sister Lin not to care;

Xichun's eyes wandered and she didn't know what she was thinking about; Li Wan was thinking too much, and then he smiled to himself, wondering whether he was thinking too much;
On the contrary, Baochai's face remained unchanged. While talking to Li Weijian, she secretly thought that Miss Lin would be a good match for Brother Jian.

When it was almost late, the girls got up to leave. Li Wan, thinking about Jia Lan at home, got up and left together.

The originally bustling courtyard suddenly became deserted. The four maids tried to persuade them one after another. Li Weijian finally listened to the advice and lay down on the bed obediently early in the morning.Qingwen also made plans to keep more people on duty today, and after a long discussion, she decided that Xiuying would stay with her, and they would exchange the ruby ​​and xiangling tomorrow.

This night is so beautiful that it is not enough to explain to outsiders.

Suddenly, Doctor Wang had received Jia Mu's instructions early in the morning and came to see Li Weijian.Seeing that the wound was indeed scabbed, I immediately applied some medicine and gave some instructions, saying that the injury would definitely be cured in ten and a half months.

Hearing this, the four maids breathed a sigh of relief.They all share a bond with Li Weijian, so they share weal and woe, and sincerely hope that Li Weijian will get well.

Li Weijian stayed in the small courtyard that day, writing and painting, and teasing a few maids for a while. He had a very pleasant life.When evening came, Hongyu returned with the food box, but she said a message.

"Huh? Fu Shi was kicked out by the master?"

Hongyu replied: "It's not that I kicked him out, but I got the order early in the morning. He didn't even answer the door sticker. He just said that the master has been not feeling well these past two days and it is inconvenient to see guests."

Li Weijian said happily: "What are you talking about? Isn't Fu Shi the master's Qingke family? Even though the official position of Shuntian Mansion is not big, it is still useful. Why is the master suddenly so unfavorable to see Fu Shi?"

Hongyu said: "I heard from my disciples that the Beijing police got a low-ranking job, and now Mr. Fu has lost his official position. I came here to see him so eagerly. I guess I am begging him to seek reinstatement for me."

　The first two chapters have been slightly modified, and Li Weijian's words are indeed inconsistent with the character.
