Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 151 Separation
When Jia Zheng heard this, he didn't think so.

What's the use of moving out? The old lady pampered her, so why didn't the evildoer just want to go to the inner house? Why bother?
Li Weijian looked at Jia Zheng's expression, lowered his voice and said: "Uncle Shi, this man and woman are so defensive... we have to guard against them."

"Uh-huh?"

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and suddenly realized that there was something in Li Weijian's words. That's right, Baoyu's evil obstacle has long been settled with the maid. The last time Mrs. Wang kicked the maid out of the house, she kept it secret from Jia Zheng and never said anything.

But the fire could not be contained in the paper. Aunt Zhao learned about it early in the morning, and she turned around and had a close relationship with Jia Zheng.

Because Jia Zheng thought, if Baoyu could live with the maid, how could he know that he would only make a big mistake? If the girl next to him is okay, in order to cover up the scandal, the marriage will be arranged in advance at worst. But if that girl is from the Jia family... she really has to be on guard!

Such shameless things are recorded in history books, and privately it is even rumored that a noble brother and sister violated the rules of etiquette!
Jia Zheng's face suddenly became as dark as water, and he nodded repeatedly and said: "What my nephew said makes sense, what he said makes sense."

Seeing that Jia Zheng believed him, Li Weijian immediately felt relieved. He changed the subject and said, "Uncle Shi, please be relieved. Brother Zuo Bao is still young. If you move out, you won't be able to get close to Zhu Zhechi. He has changed his temper since then." What? If I succeed in the future, I think Uncle Shi will be very pleased."

Jia Zheng smiled bitterly and waved his hands: "I don't ask him to get ahead, I just ask him not to get into trouble."

Li Weijian achieved his goal and sat for a while before getting up and leaving. After leaving Mengpo Zhai, Li Weijian walked towards Jia Mu's courtyard. Unexpectedly, he met Baochai just after passing through the hall.

Li Weijian stopped and only greeted each other when the person came closer.

"Sister Xue."

"Fourth brother Jian."

"Sister Xue, are you going to the old lady's place?"

"Yes, where is Fourth Brother Jian?"

"What a coincidence, you and I happened to be traveling together for a while."

Li Weijian smiled and extended his hand to invite, and the two walked side by side. Baochai looked back briefly and winked, and Ying'er slowed down and followed far behind.

"Fourth brother Jian is here to complain to the old lady?" Baochai glanced at Li Weijian and asked.

"Brother Bao has to give an explanation if he falls into the water."

Baochai said: "Sister-in-law Zhu told the old lady yesterday that the old lady thought that Brother Bao was distracted and fell into the water."

"Well, thank you sister Xue for telling me, I can breathe a sigh of relief now." After walking a few steps, Li Weijian suddenly said: "Brother Bao is so old, it is always not good to live in the inner house. Just now I was talking to Uncle Shi, Now that Brother Bao knows about the personnel affairs, it would be better to move out and live separately. What do you think Sister Xue?"

Baochai pondered in thought. Since returning yesterday, Baoyu has been pestering Daiyu again, which makes Baochai very angry. Li Weijian's idea was to separate these two people?

The idea is naturally in line with Sister Bao's wishes, but can it convince the old lady and the madam?
She had doubts in her heart, so she did not express her position and said, "This matter is a family matter of Brother Bao. As an outsider, I'm afraid it's hard for me to talk about it."

Li Weijian smiled and turned around and said: "Sister Xue, Uncle Shi is also quite in favor of this move. He said that we must guard against the things that must be guarded against."

Something you have to guard against? Baochai thought for a moment, then blushed and looked at Li Weijian angrily, thinking to himself, no matter how useless Baoyu was, he wouldn't be so mean, right?
On second thought, he hesitated again. Yesterday, he was able to talk to his concubine in front of Li Weijian. It's hard to say what Brother Bao could do if he got crazy!
Li Weijian added: "Furthermore, it is said that those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Brother Bao lives in a different place and has more contact with Angzang men. Maybe he has changed his temper and has made progress since then?"

Baochai was suddenly moved. I don’t know what to do with the small selection for the time being, so I naturally have to hold on to the precious jade that I can choose. It would be best if Baoyu moved out and lived in another place and really made progress from then on.

Because it was Baochai who said, "What Fourth Brother Jian said makes sense. I will tell my mother later and ask her to persuade my aunt."

Li Weijian said: "It's hard for Sister Xue. I think my aunt will understand Sister Xue's good intentions."

Baochai smiled and said, "They are all relatives, so we must do what is best for them."

While talking, the two passed through the hanging flower gate, so they stopped talking.

After turning around three small halls, Yuanyang greeted him and spoke a few words, then went inside to report. After a while, Yuanyang turned around and led the two of them inside.

When Li Weijian came face to face, he saw Jia's mother sitting on a soft couch. Baoyu, Daiyu, Xiangyun, and Sanchun were not seen on the left and right. Only Mrs. Wang sat down.

The two came forward to see the ceremony, and then took their seats.

Just as Li Weijian was about to speak, Yuanyang came to report again, saying that the eldest master and his master were here.

Mother Jia was puzzled: "Did the two brothers agree to come together?"

Li Weijian cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Old lady, this junior has invited two uncles to come and make a statement. I am afraid that the old lady will blame me for what happened yesterday."

Jia's mother immediately said angrily: "You child, Baoyu was obviously careless, so what does it have to do with you? After living here for several months, why are you still as out of touch as when you first came here?"

Li Weijian just smiled and did not argue. Looking at Mrs. Wang secretly, she saw that her face was as sinking as water. This person is not a broad-minded person. If he holds a grudge, he may not be able to wear small shoes for his eldest sister Li Wan.

While they were talking, Jia She and Jia Zheng were brought in. They met each other and just sat down. Jia Zheng said, "Mother, have you ever told me why Brother Jian is here?"

"I've said it, this kid is really out of touch, and I just scolded him."

Jia Zheng nodded, let out a sigh of relief, and said, "What mother said is true. My son just tried to persuade me, but Brother Jian insisted on coming to explain."

Looking sideways at Mrs. Wang while speaking, Jia Zheng said: "If I tell you, Baoyu must talk to Brother Jian about his troubles. Where did that bastard Xingzi go? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "I went to the school with Brother Zhong in the first day."

Jia Zheng frowned when he remembered what Li Weijian had just said. I secretly thought, Baoyu and Qin Zhong...can't...right?

From what Aunt Zhao said, the two of them were always inseparable, walking arm in arm, and sometimes sleeping together, as if they were the same person. Then Qin Zhong was born shy and timid, and he was a boy and a girl, so he couldn't have Baoyu become his father-in-law, right?
Holding back the boredom in his heart, Jia Zheng said: "Mother, my son just talked to Brother Jian. After thinking about it, I'm afraid it won't work to let Baoyu behave like this. Therefore, if we don't let him live in another place, It also avoids being contaminated with too much makeup and powder in the inner house."

"This..." Jia Mu was reluctant to give up and was about to refuse. But Baoyu's dear father always has to think carefully about his words.

While Jia Mu was still pondering, the elder suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Weijian winking at her, and he was immediately excited. He was thinking secretly in his heart, what he was thinking about was not what Li Weijian wanted to do with this move, but what advantages and disadvantages it would have for himself.

After thinking about it for a moment, it seems to have nothing to do with it? So why not sell a favor?
Therefore, the elder cleared his throat and said: "Mother, what the second brother said is true. Baoyu always fools around in the house and learns some exquisite naughty things. How will he be successful in the long run? Why not move out and live somewhere else? "Is it possible that the earth will grow in the future?" "This -" Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang then said: "This matter is not urgent. The left and right gems are still small, not as good as -"

Jia Zheng said angrily: "He is still young? Your good son knows that he is hanging out with the maid, so why is he still young?"

One sentence choked Mrs. Wang speechless. Jia Mu had no help, so she thought for a while, then used the dragging technique, and said: "This matter is too hasty, let me think about it carefully later."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Weijian: "Brother Jian lives in the same place by himself now. Is there any trouble?"

"Back to the old lady, I didn't bother you at all." Li Weijian then talked about the past few days.

He knew in his heart that he couldn't make up his mind about this matter for a while. Fortunately, he had already made a plan. Baochai persuaded Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue advised Mrs. Wang to be careful about her ethics. Baoyu has done such stupid things lately, so Mrs. Wang can't help but be careless.

Another dear friend, Jia Zhengyan, said that if Jia’s mother is still reluctant to leave, if Mrs. Wang spits out, Baoyu will have to move even if she doesn’t want to!
Having said that, Li Weijian stood up and said that he had made an appointment with Yan Fenzhen, and then he said goodbye to the others and left the Jia Mansion.

............................................................

Later, Li Weijian went to Yan's Mansion, and together with Yan Fengzhen and his concubine, they slowly returned to Xiangshan Villa. Let’s talk about Rongguo Mansion.

Before dinner that day, Baochai went to talk to Aunt Xue.

The mother and daughter have long considered this matter. If they want to marry Baoyu, then Daiyu will be Baochai's biggest rival. Bao and Dai are childhood sweethearts and their friendship is extraordinary.

If Baoyu moves out to live separately, although the two of them will inevitably meet, they will never get along day and night, because Aunt Xue is suddenly moved. When Shen was approaching, he went to see Mrs. Wang for words.

Aunt Xue had just started to stand up, and Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "Why is my sister also here to persuade me?"

Facing Mrs. Wang's puzzled look, Aunt Xue said: "My sister and I are sisters, so I have to think about her. I've been thinking about this, and it's a good thing."

"What's a good idea?"

Aunt Xue said: "Baoyu will be twelve after the New Year, and Ganluo will pay homage to the prime minister at the age of 12. Such an age is neither too old nor too young. But Baoyu is -"

What else? Mrs. Wang knew that she would definitely bully the maid.

After a pause, Aunt Xue added: "Baoyu usually hangs out with the girls, and that's it during the day. There are always people watching over him. If he can't be watched at night, he's afraid... he's afraid -"

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm just afraid of making that unspeakable mistake."

Mrs. Wang thought for a moment, then suddenly felt horrified. Then he shook his head: "Impossible, how could my Baoyu be such a bastard?"

Aunt Xue pondered and had no words.

Mrs. Wang caught a glimpse of Aunt Xue's expression and became very angry. Bullying maids and seducing other people's concubines seems to be Baoyu's frequent misdeeds these days.

Mrs. Wang then thought about it, Baoyu and Daiyu had slept together since they were young, but now they were separated when they were older. Daiyu slept in the Bisha cupboard, and Baoyu now sleeps in the Nuan Pavilion. If we get along day and night, something unspeakable will happen.

Mrs. Wang had always despised Daiyu in her heart. Firstly, because of Daiyu's mother Jia Min, the sister-in-law was a smart girl before she came out of the palace. Mrs. Wang was often embarrassed in front of her; secondly, because Daiyu was weak, she was afraid It will be difficult to have children in the future.

There are three kinds of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having an heir. That is, if the treasure and jade cannot carry the title, the second wife cannot let the bastard inherit the family business, right?
Furthermore, Daiyu's temperament was not pleasing to the eye. Although the sisters did not express it clearly to the public, Mrs. Wang certainly knew what her sister Aunt Xue was thinking.

Mrs. Wang thought that Baochai was dignified and had a agreeable temperament, so she was worthy of Baoyu. It's this family background... In the past, there was still an imperial businessman with good foundation to cover up his ugliness, but now even the last fig leaf has been lost.

In the dignified Rongguo Mansion, you can't marry merchants and the like, right? Because Mrs. Wang has been keeping quiet recently, she just wants to look for the Xungui family nearby to see if there is a girl she likes.

After thinking about it like this, Mrs. Wang was quite moved.

Aunt Xue watched from the sidelines and immediately advised: "Sister, you know, chicks always have to fly alone. Mother like you can't protect Baoyu for the rest of her life."

Mrs. Wang sighed: "How could I not know? It's just that the old lady -"

Aunt Xue said: "It's something that the master agrees with. My sister is speaking out. I'm not afraid of not being able to persuade the old lady."

Mrs. Wang thought for a long time, then nodded and said: "That's alright, let's give it a try."

When it was almost time to eat, Aunt Xue resigned, and Mrs. Wang led the maid towards Jia Mu's courtyard thoughtfully. He established the same rules as usual, and when Jia Mu ordered him to go to dinner, Mrs. Wang stepped forward and spoke out what Aunt Xue said.

After hearing this, Jia Mu was speechless for a while. She had watched these two little people grow up since she was a child. When Daiyu had just entered the house, they were crowded on the same bed because they were still young.

Now that she is getting older, Daiyu moved to the Bisha cabinet. But it is inevitable that there will be some inconveniences when we get along day and night. She is old and has low energy. If she really can't take care of her...

Jia Mu pondered for a long time without saying anything. Then she thought again, her dear Baoyu would never be so mean, right?

Suddenly remembering that Baoyu insisted on talking about other concubines yesterday, Jia Mu sighed. In addition, Jia Zheng said before, and now Mrs. Wang also said that her father and mother have said so, and Jia's mother can't refuse anymore.

"Forget it, since you are getting older after all, then move out and live somewhere else."

Mrs. Wang said: "The east courtyard is messy, and the small courtyard is not as good as the current Qilaizhai. Old lady, I think it is better to let Baoyu live in Qilaizhai first. At least there are two entrances, enough to arrange manpower. ”

But he said that the two of them had reached a consensus, turned around and looked for Baoyu, and told him to move to Qilaizhai. In this way, Baoyu will definitely make a scene, but Baoyu is quite happy.

When Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu saw it, they were immediately worried, fearing that Baoyu would lose their care after the separation and become more and more indulgent.

If Baoyu was as the two of them thought, he was thinking in his mind. In the past, when hanging out with the maids, he had to sneak around and carry people on his back. Now that he has moved out and lived separately, no one will be watching him from now on. Wouldn't it be free?
The matter was settled, Baoyu was so impatient that he urged the maid to move all the things to Qixie Zhai that day. From then on, he was happy and at ease, but he never thought that he would not be able to get along with Sister Lin day and night from now on.
