Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 243 The dove takes over the magpie's nest
Everyone in Rongqing Hall was shocked!
Yuanyang supported Jia Mu, one came up to knock on the back of the heart, and the other came up to caress the chest. It took a long time for the old lady to regain her breath.

A pair of cloudy eyes glanced around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Weijian. Mother Jia suddenly seemed to have found a savior, and said: "Brother Jian——"

Li Weijian secretly thought that at this time, if the decree came down, even if it was related to the Jia family, it would be a matter for the Ningguo Mansion. At this moment, Yuanchun was still a concubine, and the emperor had not died, and Wang Ziteng had not completely destroyed the Jia family. The soldiers have dealt with it completely, and the saint will definitely deal with it at this time, as well as the Rongguo Mansion.

Because he raised his hands in a serious manner and said: "Don't worry, old lady, there are juniors for everything. When there is a decree from the palace, it is not necessarily a bad thing." He turned to look at Jia She: "Master, let's welcome him as soon as possible. Don't let it go." The angel has been waiting for a long time.”

The eldest master, Jia She, agreed bravely, and then the two of them took the lead. The family members of the Jia family supported Jia Mu and came out to meet the decree.

When they arrived at Deyi Gate, they saw Xia Shouzhong leading two small Huangmen talking impatiently to Lai Da. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a group of people waiting. Xia Shouzhong didn't care much at first. But when he caught a glimpse of Li Weijian in front of him, Xia Shouzhong's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly came over to greet him and cupped his hands and said, "Hey, what are you talking about? Uncle actually doesn't care." here?"

Li Weijian smiled and said, "When Ning Guo Mansion encounters something like this, I always have to come and visit. Eunuch Xia, what is this time?"

How could someone else like Xia Shouzhong tell the truth honestly if he didn't figure it out? It's just that the person asking the question was Li Weijian. This is the famous person in front of you. Who dares to offend him so easily?
Because Xia Shouzhong said with a smile: "I don't know, uncle, but this time our family has been ordered by the queen to come here to pass on the queen's orders."

Hearing this, Jia She who was accompanying him and Jia Mu behind him all breathed a sigh of relief. There was no need to set up the incense table at the moment. Everyone in the Jia family stood in an orderly manner. Eunuch Xia flicked his fly whisk and said, "The empress has spoken: In order to prevent the other courtyard from being desolate, the sisters in the family can live in the garden."

Everyone agreed in unison, and Jia She hurriedly stepped forward to take care of things. Eunuch Xia saw Li Weijian here, but he couldn't collect much money. Just as Jia She was about to start arguing, Xia Shouzhong suddenly said to Jia's mother: "Old Fengjun, I have one more thing, please ask our family to talk to Lao Fengjun."

Because of his age, he usually hangs out with Jia Rong and Jia Qiang, so he might not support Jia Qiang. Because the eldest master, Jia She, hurriedly winked at Mrs. Xing.

No matter what the reason for this son's visit at this time, he didn't know it. It was definitely about inheritance, family land, and Zhuangzi.

Because it was Jia Mu, she nodded and said, "Brother Jian, if you have time, why don't you stay a little longer. I haven't seen you for a long time, it's strange."

The Ningguo Mansion inspected and confiscated all the wealth and shops, but the family fields and Zhuangzi outside the pass were all there. Calculating that the annual income was less than 18,000, if the Rongguo Mansion inherited it, all the family fields and Zhuangzi would be honored. In the hands of the government. Zhuangzi's entire income goes to the Rongguo Mansion, which is the clan's farmland. The Rongguo Mansion has the final say on how much rice to allocate?
Because everyone cares about her now, but unfortunately no one wants to be the first to speak out and be a bad person. There is still a direct relative Jia Qiang in the Geying Ning Mansion.

At this time, the benefits of establishing a character came out. Jia Mu thought about it and said that since Li Weijian entered the Rongguo Mansion, he has always been humble, polite and tolerant. When something happened to his precious grandson Baoyu, Li Weijian came to the rescue both times, showing his urgency. The true nature of justice.

Just as Jia Mu was about to agree, the elder became anxious and said, "Brother Jian, wait a minute. Mother, Brother Jian is not an outsider, why don't you stay and be a witness."

Xia Shouzhong glanced at Mrs. Wang and lowered his voice: "The empress said that Baoyu is getting older and it is difficult to live in the garden again. Please encourage the old lady to make progress in his studies so that he can establish a family in the future."

As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Jia Mu's reply, Mrs. Wang actually said: "Old lady, I think what the eldest gentleman said is true. Although the matter is discussed behind closed doors, someone must be invited to bear witness to avoid spreading it to the outside world. nonsense."

The eldest master, Jia She, couldn't help but wink at Mrs. Xing. Mrs. Xing coughed slightly and was about to speak when suddenly another maid came in to report that Jia Dairu, Jia Chi, Jia Xiao and Jia Dun had come to visit.

Li Weijian felt strange. Seeing Jia Mu's words to persuade him to stay, he took advantage of the situation and stayed.

As soon as Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, Wang Xifeng also helped: "The old lady also knows that Brother Jian has the most upright mind. With Brother Jian's testimony, I don't expect outsiders to talk nonsense."

When Jia She entered, he was actually accompanied by Jia Zheng. After asking, Jia's mother found out that such a big thing had happened at home. Jia Zheng had taken leave today and returned to deal with family affairs.

At that moment, Jia She personally sent Xia Shouzhong and others out of the house, watched them drive away, and then returned.

Everyone returned to the Rongqing Hall. As soon as Jia Mu took her seat, Sister Feng in the wheelchair said angrily: "My Majesty, I still think about my family. Since I have said this, I don't expect there will be any follow-up, so the old lady should rest assured." ”

Jia Dairu nodded and said, "Yes, please send someone to call Jia Qiang, Jia Heng, and Jia Qian to discuss it."

Before Jia Zhen's accident, although she was harsh on Jia Rong, beating or scolding her, she still took good care of her clan members. Weddings and funerals, resolving disputes, allocating money, and supervising private schools were all handled properly. Because he is quite popular.

Although Mrs. Wang didn't like to see Li Weijian in her heart, she now regarded the heir as something in her pocket. No matter how disgusted I was, I thought that Li Weijian was always Lan Geer's biological uncle and would never take advantage of anyone else in this matter, so I offered to persuade him to stay.

Jia Mu agreed in person, and Xia Shouzhong smiled and flicked the fly whisk: "In that case, we will go back to the palace to talk."

After the matter was settled, Jia She said: "There are two other things. One is that the ancestral hall is in the Ningguo Mansion. Now that the Ningguo Mansion has been taken back by the saint, what should be done with the ancestral hall? The other is that it was previously the heir of the Ningguo Mansion, but now it is the heir of the Ningguo Mansion. Brother and Brother Rong are in trouble, what should we do about the inheritance?"

Li Weijian sat down next to Jia Zheng and looked around furtively, and saw that the issue of heir was mentioned. Except for the old man Jia Zheng, who was still frowning, the rest, whether it was the eldest man Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang or Wang Xifeng, all Eyes shine!

Jia Dun then said: "Old uncle, the issue of inheritance concerns the eight families of the Jia family in the capital, and all eight families must gather together."

Jia Chi, Jia Xiao, and Jia Dun, because of their seniority, had many contacts with Jia She, and were expected to support the succession of the Rongguo Mansion. It’s hard to say what’s left of Jia Heng and Jia Ju, who are of the jade generation.

Jia Dairu said: "My sister-in-law is too polite. I always want my sister-in-law to be in charge."

After Jia Mu nodded, Jia Dairu turned around and said to everyone, "Then let's discuss it."

Li Weijian couldn't get involved in the affairs of the Jia family clan, no matter how close they were, so he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Old lady, I don't want to talk casually about this, so I'll take my leave first."

At that moment, Jia Lian, Jia She, and Jia Zheng went to greet them, and Wang Xifeng arranged for them to bring in a few more chairs. After a while, Jia Dairu led several people from the literary generation and entered together with Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian.

After talking about the incident of Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, after sighing, Jia Dairu said: "It is really the fault of the Ning Mansion for this misfortune. At this time, the old sister-in-law must agree on the inheritance, so as to establish an ancestral hall."

Jia's mother then said: "There are so many mistakes. It's all caused by Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, and it has nothing to do with Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law. I can't write two characters "Jia" in one stroke. Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law will live in the mansion from now on. , Compare Brother Feng’s example.”

Everyone bowed to each other before the host and guest took their seats. Jia Dairu has the same seniority as Jia Mu, so he sits on the left and looks up.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng responded together. Compared with Sister Feng's routine, that's twelve per month, which is not too small.

At that moment, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing gave some words of comfort.

After saying a few words, the eldest master Jia She sat down and said: "Mother, Ningguo Mansion is now here and there is no way to save it. Now there are still a few things that require mother's decision." At this time, Youshi was also there, and the eldest master said: " How to settle Brother Zhen’s daughter-in-law."

"Hey," Jia Mu sighed, "it's Brother Zhen and I who are so discouraged and live outside the city. Brother Zhen has learned a lesson, and that's what led to today's disaster. Whether it's merit or demerit, Brother Zhen will go to Jia's house in the future. My ancestors went to tell me, my old woman can do this, and there is nothing I can do."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu frowned and thought, but Mrs. Wang looked happy. Mrs. Wang didn't listen to any of the words of encouragement or improvement in study. She only heard the four words "establishing a family with the family". I thought to myself, the eldest girl really loves her brother, will the Jia family's fortune fall on Baoyu in the future?
But Jia Mu thought more about it, wondering what Mrs. Wang had said to the eldest girl when she entered the palace before. This matter must be discussed with Mrs. Wang later.

Jia She made a good calculation and thought to himself, no matter what, this Jian brother also had an affair with his daughter Yingchun, and she had to turn to him at this time.

The Jia family has twenty rooms in the north and south, and eight rooms in the capital are relatives. Except for the few people present at the meeting, it goes without saying that Jia Qiang is the great-great-grandson of the Ningguo Mansion. The remaining two families are headed by Jia Heng and Jia Juan.

Youshi hurriedly cried and thanked her. For her to continue her marriage, she had previously been paid fifteen taels per month. Now that she is in trouble, it is a good thing that she can still have twelve months.

Jia Mu then said: "I am an old woman who lives in a house. What ideas do I have? Let everyone discuss it. When the plan is finalized, I will agree to it."

This ordinary people's family has to change its heirs, and it is impossible to say that there are arguments and people's brains showing off dog's brains. Although the aristocratic family is worried about their face, they are not much better than ordinary people if exposed. With Li Weijian here, he could at least silence outsiders. The children of the Jia family in the other room will gossip in the next day. With Li Weijian blocking them, the gossip outside will not be too nonsense.

Sister Feng and Mrs. Wang hurriedly helped Jia Mu forward. Jia Mu forced a smile and said, "Eunuch Xia, what did your Majesty say?"

The eldest master, Jia She, secretly thought that Jia Dairu was used to making peace with each other. As long as he allocated more money and food to private schools, Jia Dairu was not concerned about who would inherit the family.

Mrs.

Jia Chi said, "What the eldest lady said is wrong. Jia Qiang is the great-great-grandson of a decent lineage in Ningguo. The matter involves the heir. How can we not call her?"

Jia Dairu leaned on a cane and turned to look at Jia Mu: "What did my sister-in-law say?"

Jia Mu then said: "Call us, call them all together, and we can discuss it clearly in person."

Jia's mother made the decision. No matter how much he complained, the elder had no choice but to send Jia Lian to call him. After a cup of tea, Jia Heng, Jia Juan and the disgraced Jia Qiang entered together.

Seeing Jia Qiang's nose was bruised and her face was swollen, Jia's mother couldn't help but asked: "Brother Qiang, how did this happen?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile on her face, "Go back to the old lady, I accidentally fell down when I went out."

In fact, where is the slip and fall? Geining's mansion was raided and hundreds of servants were driven out of the mansion. Yesterday, I first asked for help in front of the Rongguo Mansion, but was driven out of Ningrong Street by the elder. The officer of the Shenxing Department was fierce and evil, but he was still polite to Youshi. He allowed him to leave the house with a small baggage. How could the rest of the people be so polite?
Needless to say, all the servants who left the house, carrying gold, silver and other valuables, were all exploited by those people. The servants had no way to ask for help, but suddenly someone remembered that there was Mr. Qiang living in the back street, and dozens of people immediately came to look for him.

At first they just begged and yelled, but when they saw Jia Qiang closing the door, the helpless slaves became angry and immediately broke down the main door, beat Jia Qiang hard, took away the money and scattered it.

Fortunately, Jia Qiang's family didn't have much extravagant wealth, and she thought of the troubled times ahead, so she hid it and refused to report it.

Jia's mother didn't know whether the investigation was successful or not, so she just followed Jia Qiang's words and said, "You kid, why are you so careless? Yuanyang, please get some bruise ointment for Brother Qiang to wipe it with."

Jia Qiang quickly raised her hands and said, "Old lady, it's just some skin injuries, it's okay."

Jia Mu didn't care. Yuanyang took the ointment and sent another maid to apply it to Jia Qiang before retreating.

Jia Dairu coughed lightly and said loudly: "The eight families are gathered together. Let's discuss this matter of inheritance, right?"

Then I heard Jia Heng say: "Old uncle, what's the point of this matter? Brother Qiang is the great-great-grandson of the Ning Mansion, and Brother Qiang has never been in trouble. I think Brother Qiang should be the heir."

After the words fell, Jia Xiao refuted: "Otherwise! How old is Brother Qiang? If Brother Qiang inherits the heir, Brother Qiang may be able to handle the affairs of the clan?"

Jia Heng said: "Sixth Uncle, Brother Qiang is getting older now. How old will Brother Zhen be when he inherits the heir? Brother Qiang went to the south of the Yangtze River to buy things, wasn't it done properly?"

Jia Xiao said: "It's said to be on errands, but I'm in charge of the boss. Aren't all the errands here being done by the managers?" Suddenly he looked at Wang Xifeng and said, "Brother Lian and his daughter-in-law know the best about this matter. Why don't you come here?" Tell me, has Brother Qiang ever done anything wrong?"

Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat, but she refused to be a bad person. She just said: "Sixth uncle said this, but my nephew-in-law didn't know how to answer it. Although Brother Qiang asked for the errand from here, the things outside are all The man is in charge of everything, whether it's good or bad, and my nephew-in-law is just a housewife, so how can I know?"

The eldest man, Jia She, hurriedly continued: "Brother Qiang went south on errands to purchase theater troupes and will not return for several months. The Zhen family once wrote a letter saying that Brother Qiang wandered along the Qinhuai River for ten months -" As he spoke, he looked at Jia with a sinister expression. Qiang: "——Brother Qiang, is this true or false?"

How old is Jia Qiangfang? When the eldest master Jia She glanced at him with a sinister look, he was immediately horrified. He buried his head and said: "This... grand nephew is young, but a little ridiculous."

At this time, I heard Mrs. Wang say: "I, a woman, don't want to talk about the affairs of men outside. But now that something happened in Ning Mansion, Brother Qiang has always been stubborn with Brother Rong. If one day If we get into another lawsuit... we can't change the heir to another family, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, it hit the nail on the head! Jia Zhen treated Jia Qiang better than her own son Jia Rong. Rumors within the clan said that Jia Qiang was the child of Jia Zhen's stolen sister-in-law; what's more, it was said that the two were close friends.

Now that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have been convicted of their crimes and will be released soon, who dares to say that these incidents have nothing to do with Jia Qiang?

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Qiang, who was submissive, and said: "Brother Qiang is young and lacks experience. If he is really the heir, it will be difficult for him to interact with relatives and friends in the future."

Everyone in Rongqing Hall nodded one after another, and those who were familiar with him whispered.

Yes, now that the Ningguo lineage has seized the title, and even the imperial palace has been taken back, if Jia Qiang succeeds, how will he interact with the four princes and eight princes in the future? A white man went to the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, where he had to decide whether he would be allowed to enter the capital.

Seeing that the situation was tilting towards the Rongguo family, Jia Heng became anxious and said: "The state has national laws and families have family rules. The eldest son is responsible for performing sacrifices and uniting the clan, and the important thing is to establish a direct descendant rather than a concubine. If the eldest son dies, the eldest son's son will be established, and there will be no children. If there are no younger brothers, then he will be the legitimate son of the second wife. Brother Qiang is the great-great-grandson of the Ningguo lineage, and he cannot be inherited by the Rongguo Mansion no matter what!"

Jia She immediately lowered his face and looked at Jia Heng angrily. Jia Heng didn't care at all. He turned around and glared at Jia Qiang.

The Chengsi issue was deadlocked here, and the two parties argued back and forth for more than half an hour with no result. Mother Jia was really impatient. After a brief pause, she couldn't help but look at Li Weijian: "Brother Jian, you are an outsider, why don't you come and tell me?"

The elder immediately agreed: "That's right, who doesn't know that Brother Jian is fair in dealing with things? Why don't Brother Jian give you an idea?" Seeing Jia Zheng looking through his nose and mouth, and looking at his heart with his mouth, Mrs. Wang also said in annoyance: "Everyone My uncles and brothers also know that Brother Jian acted in the safest way when he was granted the title of Uncle Jingling."

Jia Heng scolded his mother in his heart: Who doesn't know that this Jinglingbo is related to the Rongguo family? How could you talk to Brother Qiang?
But even though he was thinking this, he didn't dare to say it out loud. Today is different from the past. People are already regarded as second-class uncles. How can someone like Jia Heng compare with him?
It is said that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture had been friends with this man for many years, and the great Sikong of the current dynasty was his mentor. If he offended this man, he didn't have to do it himself, and he would be lucky enough to join the villain to challenge him. Jia Heng came to take credit.

Li Weijian, who had been watching the excitement, put down his tea cup, raised his hands and said, "After listening for a long time, I feel that the father-in-law is right and the mother-in-law is right. According to the clan rules, Brother Qiang should be the heir."

Jia Heng suddenly looked over in surprise, and Jia Qiang also raised her head, only briefly looking at Li Weijian, and then immediately lowered her head again.

Li Weijian saw that the elder Jia She's expression changed, and then he said calmly: "But Brother Qiang is indeed too young. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle internal and external affairs well."

Jia She breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Li Weijian continued: "In my opinion, if Brother Qiang is the heir, the internal affairs of the clan will be handled by the Rongguo line first. When Brother Qiang gets older and acts more safely, we can then hand it over to Brother Qiang." How to deal with it?"

Isn't this just peace of mind? Although everyone inside was not very satisfied, they did not speak out to refute.

The eldest master, Jia She, looked anxiously at the general coming over and winked at Li Weijian repeatedly, but saw Li Weijian blinking. The elder suddenly thought to himself, could there be some deeper meaning to this statement?
It was rare for the elder to turn his head. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized! Yes, Brother Qiang is alone. He is only nineteen and has not yet been married. I am used to hanging out with Brother Rong on weekdays, and I don't know how much trouble I have caused outside. If an enemy seeks revenge and accidentally beats Brother Qiang up by mistake... won't the inheritance fall on him again?

As a result, he also gained a good reputation, which was also good to hear.

How could Mrs. Wang not think of things that the great master could think of? Before the eldest man could speak, Mrs. Wang turned to Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, I think what brother Jian said is reasonable."

Jia Mu nodded without comment.

The elder Jia She also said: "Yes, Brother Jian's method is good. I think we will do it this way."

But he saw that Jia Qiang's face suddenly turned pale, her legs trembled, she got up and knelt in front of the hall, kowtowed and said repeatedly: "Old lady, I'm so kind, I've always been ridiculous, how can I take on the important matter of inheriting an heir? I'm in a state of confusion now, and I've never been married. If you have no moral character, you will not be able to convince the public even if you are ten years from now.

Moreover, Ning Guo's lineage has been deprived of the title, and the boy is just a white man. How will he interact with his relatives and friends in the future? I beg the old lady to make the decision. If the boy really can’t inherit, he should choose another room! "

Li Weijian couldn't help but nod his head. Jia Qiang was indeed a bit clever. He knew the plans of Mrs. Wang and the eldest man in a flash of his mind. It is said that the Tian family has no family ties, but in fact, the interests are at hand. Let alone a big family, even a small family will fight to the death.

Although the inheritance is a good thing, you still have to live with it!
If you decide on your heir today, how can you know that you won't die unexpectedly in the future? After weighing the situation, Jia Qiang refused to accept the offer, and her life was still at stake.

Jia Heng didn't know what his plan was. When he saw Jia Qiang acting like this, he immediately jumped up in anger and cursed: "Brother Qiang, is it because the phlegm has confused your mind?"

But he saw Jia Qiang kowtowing repeatedly, with faint traces of blood on her forehead.

Jia's mother was moved, so how could she not know Jia Qiang's concerns? In the inner house, Jia Mu can take care of her a little bit, but how can she take care of things outside?

Finally, he felt compassion, and he quickly reached out his hand and said: "This child... help Brother Qiang up quickly."

At that moment, Jia Lian stepped forward, pulled hard, and finally helped Jia Qiang up. Jia Qiangwu shouted to herself: "If the old lady doesn't agree today, the boy will hit the wall to death when he goes out!"

"This..." Jia Mu looked at Jia Dairu and said, "Fourth brother, what do you say?"

Jia Dairu pondered: "Our Jia family is a family of bells and whistles. Brother Qiang knows that he can't do enough, so he is willing to give up the responsibility of inheriting and be part of the Rongguo family. This matter will be a good story if it spreads."

"Yeah yeah."

"My uncle is right."

Jia Xiao then said: "In that case, the successor of Rongguo has been decided. Who has any objection?"

Jia Xiao looked at Jia Heng, who stamped his foot angrily, turned his head and said nothing.

After the matter was settled, Mrs. Wang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, still a little reserved, but the elder couldn't help but smile on half of his face. I heard Jia She say: "Don't worry, old uncle, the money and food for private study in the future will be the same as usual. There will definitely be no shortage."

Jia Dairu smiled and agreed, but did not mention who was the clan leader. He only said: "Since Rongguo is responsible for the inheritance, the relocation of this ancestral hall must be finalized."

After hearing this, Jia Zheng said: "Now that the Ningguo Mansion has banned it, tomorrow I will write a letter to ask for permission, and ask the saint to lift the ban, and at least move the ancestral tablets to the family temple."

Now that Jia Zhen and Jia Rong have been convicted, they will soon be exiled to a remote place. The eldest master, Jia She, had been dismissed from office a long time ago and only had the title of first-class general. Jia Lian had just donated a false name to his fellow intellectuals. Wang Xifeng had not even earned his imperial title back. After many rounds, only the master Jia Zheng was left. He is considered a serious official figure.

Jia Dairu nodded and said: "This is the right principle."

Jia She thought he was the clan leader now, and frowned and thought: "This is difficult. In order to save relatives, the East Courtyard was changed to the Grand View Garden, and there was no other place in the mansion to build the ancestral hall. In my opinion, it is better to choose another one. Build another ancestral hall on the land.”

Jia Xiao had long been bribed by Jia She and echoed: "What Brother She said is absolutely——"

Jia Heng and others' plan failed, so he just said nothing at the moment, allowing Jia She and Jia Xiao to discuss the matter of the ancestral hall.

According to Jia She's wishes, we simply found an open space in the outer city and built a new ancestral hall. It was only an hour's walk away during the Qingming Festival, so it was not too far away. He is the boss, so he wants to save some money.

Jia Dairu didn't agree, so he just wanted to clear a space in the back street of Ningrong, which would save him some legwork. The two parties were arguing endlessly, and Li Weijian felt sleepy after listening to it, and couldn't help but drifting away.

After waiting for less than half an hour, a woman suddenly entered in a panic and reported: "Old lady, eldest gentleman, lord, there is another angel outside!"

"what?"

Everyone was surprised again. After all, Jia Mu had experienced what happened in the morning, so she thought to herself, "Could it be that the empress forgot her instructions and sent someone to give her instructions again?"

The eldest master, Jia She, stood up with a flick of his sleeves and shouted: "Don't panic, it's just an angel, not someone from the Division of Punishment. Let's go out and find out what's going on!"

Li Weijian clicked his tongue in amazement and said to himself: Don't tell me, the eldest master is really a bit like a clan leader just by his demeanor. Oh, I'm afraid that in the end, all the efforts will be in vain - Jia's mother doesn't want to see Jia She at all, and Mrs. Wang is eyeing her, so how can the patriarch let Jia She accept it smoothly?

Immediately he got up and followed him out of Rongqing Hall, heading all the way towards Yimen.

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

Rongqingtang Bisha Cabinet.

Baoyu, Daiyu, Sanchun, Baochai, etc. were all eavesdropping here. After hearing Yuanchun's oral edict earlier, Baoyu was so happy that he scratched his head and ears.

The scenery in the Grand View Garden is extremely splendid, and the sisters live there together. The beauty of the scenery makes the people even more beautiful. Under such joy, the sadness of the Ningguo Mansion's looting was dimmed.

When discussing matters in Rongqing Hall, Baoyu and others only dared to whisper and did not dare to make loud noises. At this moment, people were waiting to go out to meet the angel, and only then did everyone dare to speak loudly.

Baoyu clasped his hands and smiled and said: "Brother Qiang is also a filial man. He knows that he is not good at taking care of the affairs of the clan, so he is willing to give up the inheritance. When I get some free time later, I will also invite Brother Qiang to come and play in the garden. You're being naughty." After a pause, he looked at Daiyu: "Sister, have you decided where to live?"

Daiyu just shook her head and said nothing. I despise Baoyu more and more. Now Baoyu is thirteen or fourteen years old, but he can only hide in the blue gauze cupboard with a group of sisters and eavesdrop on the conversation outside. Fourth brother Jian is only two years older than Baoyu, and his grandmother has to ask what fourth brother Jian is thinking.

And when Brother Qiang gives up the inheritance, how can he be humble? Daiyu, who was one year younger than Baoyu, knew that there was something treacherous and hidden in it, but Baoyu didn't notice it at all.

It would have been fine if it had been like this three or two years ago. I would have said that my heart was clean. But at this age, if you are still so ignorant, won't you become an old naughty boy when you grow up?
Brother Jian said it well, know the world but not be worldly.

The second brother Bao in front of him didn't even know how to deal with the world. It's no wonder that two maids were kicked out one after another before. With such a temper, he can't even protect the people around him, let alone others?
Daiyu only felt sorry in her heart, but it didn't show on her face. Suddenly he raised his eyes and saw Sister Bao's eyes showing contempt. When he caught a glimpse of Daiyu looking over, he quickly turned away and returned to his demure look, as if Daiyu had just made a mistake.

Daiyu didn't respond, but Tanchun continued: "Brother Bao, Brother Qiang's matter... I'm afraid it's not that simple?"

Bao Yuhun said indifferently: "Why is it not simple? How old is Brother Qiang, and how can he interact with princes and dignitaries? I see that Brother Qiang is obviously self-aware and has the demeanor of a gentleman. But the third sister thinks too much - "

When Tanchun heard this, he immediately puffed up his face with anger. I thought to myself, Brother Bao is good at everything, but he just can't listen to advice from others. Forget it, if she keeps fussing and offends Brother Bao, I'm afraid my wife will come to find fault with her. Thinking of this section, I immediately became silent.

Seeing that Tanchun was silent, Baoyu became more and more proud and said with a smile: "Now that this matter has been settled, we don't need to worry about it anymore. Sister Bao, where do you want to live?"

Sister Bao smiled quietly and said, "Why do you still have me? It's not bad for me, my mother, and my brother to live in Shang Xiaoyuan in the northeast."

Baoyu showed off: "How can you feel comfortable being crowded together? In my opinion, Sister Lin lives in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and it is better for Sister Bao to live in Hengwuyuan. As for me, I will live in Yihongyuan."

Xichun couldn't help but ask: "Brother Bao, what about me?"

Baoyu was about to speak when Hubo, who was staying at Rongqing Hall, said, "Second Master Baoyu, I'm afraid you won't be able to live in Yihongyuan."

Baoyu looked back nahan: "How to say?"

Hu Hu said: "Previously, the empress ordained that only girls should stay in the garden. Eunuch Xia later said that the empress had told the old lady to urge Mr. Bao to study and make progress, so that he can establish a family in the future."

Baoyu suddenly lost his mind and was stunned on the spot! I just thought about it, the sisters all entered the Grand View Garden, but left him alone outside. All the sisters have abandoned him, so what energy does he have left in life?

Seeing Baoyu like this, Sanchun repeatedly called him back to his senses. Sister Bao knew that Baoyu could not be provoked at this time, so she stayed on the sidelines; Daiyu had nothing to do with her, and thinking of her childhood friendship, she wanted to say a few words of comfort, but she was afraid of provoking Baoyu into entanglement, so she remained silent.

At this moment, the maid Guizi quickly walked around the screen and shouted: "What's amazing! The saint made a decree and said that he was thinking of Fourth Master Jian's success in making a new gun, but... actually..."

Tan Chun frowned and said, "What happened?"

Zi Zi took a breath before saying, "I actually gave Ningguo Mansion to Fourth Master Jian!"

"what?"

Everyone was surprised! Daiyu frowned. This saint had just taken back the Ningguo Mansion and turned around and gave it to Fourth Brother Jian... Anyone can think of "dove occupying the magpie's nest". Isn't this waiting for Fourth Brother Jian to turn against Rongguo Mansion? ?

Baochai looks calm on the face, but underneath her heart is something else. Previously, I purchased a house next to the Li family. I used my brother Xue Pan to get in touch with Li Weijian, but Xue Pan was too stupid and was scared away by Li Weijian. From then on, we rarely saw each other, and we could no longer talk to each other. Unexpectedly, we became neighbors now.

Sister Bao secretly thought to herself that Li Weijian was so popular now that he always wanted to compete with her, not only for the sake of marriage, but also for the sake of his own family's future. In this way, there are only advantages and no disadvantages;
The second sister had the least thoughts about welcoming the Spring Festival, and was only filled with joy. So what does Ningguo Mansion have to do with her? Ever since the Jian brothers moved out, they haven't been able to see each other more than once a month. And before... there was some skin-to-skin contact, but now there are very few opportunities to talk in private.

Grand View Garden occupies a small half of Huifang Garden, and the two communicate with each other. If the fourth brother Jian moved to Ningguo Mansion, there would be more opportunities for private communication;
Xichun's heart was full of resentment towards Ningguo Mansion, and she wished she had no such relatives in the world, so she didn't care. It would be nice if Fourth Brother Jian moved here. The little girl especially remembers to celebrate her birthday every year. Even if Fourth Brother Jian is away, he will always ask someone to send her a gift. No matter what, fourth brother Jian treated her well;

Tanchun is getting older now, so he naturally thinks more thoughtfully. What Daiyu thought of, Tanchun also thought of, because he frowned and said: "How could the saint give Ningguo Mansion to Fourth Brother Jian? This... is really inappropriate."

Daiyu echoed: "It's obvious that I'm trying to make things difficult for Fourth Brother Jian."

Her tone was angry, and she couldn't help but worry about her sweetheart.

At this time, Baoyu had no one to look after him, and he felt sad because he could not live in the Grand View Garden. Now I saw Daiyu caring about Li Weijian again, and she became very angry! Suddenly he tore off the precious jade from his chest and threw it to the ground: "What are you doing? I'll smash it and I'm done!"
