Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 144 Baoyu
"Hey, I'm so handsome. Which family are you from?" Wang Xifeng saw Jia Qiang, came up and asked with a smile.

She doesn't know about Jia Qiang. Jia Qiang has always been a taboo in the Jia family. Only Jia's mother is willing to mention it. Everyone else knows that both Jia Zheng and Jia She are not happy with Jia Qiang.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng has not heard of Jia Qiang's name in recent years since she came to Jia's house.

"My name is Jia Qiang!" Jia Qiang introduced herself with a smile.

"Jia Qiang, which room of the Jia family do you have the surname Jia?" Wang Xifeng definitely didn't mean it. After hearing the surname Jia, and being able to enter the Hall of Rongxi and sit in a relatively important position in the capital, Wang Xifeng Apart from the Jia family, there is no other possibility.

"I am not from the Jia family in the capital and have nothing to do with the Jia family!" Jia Qiang replied while still smiling.

"Stop asking questions!" Mrs. Wang reminded from the side.

Wang Xifeng is such a shrewd person. As soon as he heard what Mrs. Wang said, he knew there was a story in it.

"Look at my mouth, I can't control it all the time." She patted her mouth gently and said.

"I don't care. I've just been expelled from the Jia family. I'm quite comfortable living by myself!" Jia Qiang said nonchalantly.

Lin Daiyu was arranged next to Jia Mu, who loved her granddaughter very much.

How could she let go of such a good opportunity and arrange Jia Qiang next to Jia Min.

He saw that Jia Min didn't want to live in Jia Mansion, so he took the initiative to take the blame.

A group of maids and nuns came over and arranged the tables and chairs. Only Jia Mu did not need to move, the table was placed in front of her.

Jia Qiang also became interested. The Baoyu he had seen was only three or four years old at that time. He had never seen Baoyu who was eight years old now.

"Baoyu is here!" As he was talking, a maid said with a smile.

"Oh, why are you bothering Brother Qiang? You can live directly in the mansion!" Wang Xifeng clapped her hands with a handkerchief and said with a smile.

Jia's mother believed that if Jia Min and Lin Daiyu had not been escorted, Jia Qiang would not have entered Jia's house.

At present, the Jia family is using the friendship left by the older generation, and this kind of friendship is becoming less and less used.

He really didn't care. If it weren't for the relationship between Jia Min and Lin Daiyu, and the kindness he received from Jia's mother, he wouldn't even care about the broken ship of the Jia family.

"That's good. The family doesn't have to be separated. This is a good thing!" Jia Mu became happy and nodded repeatedly.

"I'm so happy today, stay for dinner tonight!" Mother Jia was in a very good mood, and she ordered with a smile as it was getting late.

After Mrs. Wang said a few words, she left with Mrs. Li, Wang Xifeng, and Ms. Xing who was tied up beside them.

When Wang Xifeng heard this, she couldn't help but blame herself secretly. She didn't expect that such a thing would happen, but she accidentally mentioned it.

Anyway, the Jia family fell after Jia's mother died. Then if she felt like it, she would extend her hand, and if she didn't, she would let him go.

"I won't leave this time. My husband will be transferred back to the capital from Yangzhou in the next year, and he will settle down in the capital from now on!" Jia Min replied with a smile.

In addition to the first-grade empty title, the entire Jia family only has the fifth-grade official status of the second master Jia Zheng, which is still the official status of Enfeng.

Although Wang Xifeng is a woman, she has heard of Lin Ruhai's name whether in the Wang family or the Jia family.

Just because Xing did not take action does not mean that Jia Mu likes her. On the contrary, it means that Xing is not qualified to participate.

Originally, she thought that Jia Mu would keep her here and she would live in Rongguo Mansion.

"Has Daiyu ever studied?" Mother Jia asked with concern.

"My master's wife lives in my house, so it is convenient for me to be filial to her!" Jia Qiang replied calmly.

Yingchun, Xichun and Tanchun all took their seats. Jia Zhu's wife, Mrs. Li, brought rice, Xifeng laid out chopsticks, and Mrs. Wang made soup.

"I only read the "Four Books"." Lin Daiyu replied. She then looked at the three sisters and asked, "Have the three sisters read the book?"

Lin Daiyu looked at where she was sitting, feeling a little uneasy and wanted to get up and give way.

"Min'er, what are your plans for returning to Beijing this time?" Jia Mu asked at this time.

"What kind of book are you reading? I just recognize two words, not a blind man with his eyes open!" Jia Mu replied casually, waving her hand.

Jia Qiang was a little embarrassed. There were only women here, but Jia Mu didn't want to let him go. Jia Mu had always wanted to have a good relationship with him.

"You go ahead and let us talk freely for a while." Jia Mu waved her hand.

Although Lin Ruhai is only in the seventh rank, he controls most of the salt affairs in Daqian. If he leaves the Salt Patrol Envoy, he will be reused by the court.

"Yu'er and I live in Brother Qiang's house. Anyway, the distance is not far. The servants all stay in the house over there, so there is no need for trouble!" Jia Min replied tactfully.

"Your aunt and sisters-in-law are not eating here. You are a guest, so you should sit like this." Jia Mu said with a smile.

But the current head of the Rongguo Mansion is Jia Zheng, and she gets angry when she looks at Jia Zheng. Even if she wants to see Jia's mother, it's only a few steps away.

Of course, it was precisely because the Jia family had no leader that they used their network resources on their uncle Wang Ziteng.

"When my uncle returns to Beijing, he will definitely be promoted, which is a great thing!" Wang Xifeng also laughed.

According to the rules of wealthy families, the daughter-in-law must serve the old lady, and that is how it is now.

Now that Lin Ruhai is going back to Beijing, this is equivalent to bringing another relationship to the Jia family.

Besides, once the Lin Mansion is repaired, you can go back to your own home.

"Aunt, have you and Miss Lin brought your luggage? Are there servants coming with you? I will arrange for people to prepare rooms for them!" She changed the subject and asked Jia Min.

Although there are many maids and mothers around, the wives still have to do this kind of thing. This is filial piety.

After she married into the Jia family, she realized that the Jia family was far from what it seemed.

At this time, a young man came in from the outside. The short hair around his head was all tied into small braids. The red strands ended and were gathered to the middle of the crown. The whole hair was braided into one big braid. It was as black as lacquer and stretched from the top to the tips. , a string of four large beads, with gold and eight treasures falling into corners;

He is wearing a half-worn coat with silver and red flowers, and still carries a necklace, jade, name lock, amulet and other items; underneath are half exposed pine and flower silk trouser legs, brocade-edged elastic ink socks, and thick-soled red shoes.

The face looks more and more like powdered face, and the lips look like greased lips; the expression is full of emotion, and the words are always smiling. A natural charm is all in the eyebrows; thousands of emotions in life are piled in the corners of the eyes.

Jia Qiang's heart moved slightly, and he used the 'Qi Watching Technique'.

As soon as the 'Qi Watching Technique' was activated, it was discovered that the light on Jia Baoyu's body was dim, and it did not look like the reincarnation of the Sky Mending Stone at all.

At least as the protagonist of "A Dream of Red Mansions", it is impossible for him to be so lucky.

However, he soon discovered something was wrong. Normally speaking, even if Jia Baoyu was really a fool as rumored, the psychic jade he was wearing was a treasure. How could it not show up under the 'Qi Watching Technique'? .

He activated the 'Qi Watching Technique' again and closed it after a breath. This time he focused on the psychic jade on Jia Baoyu's chest and found that the psychic jade looked like a mortal object, but the treasure was self-obstructed. He suspected that it was this The psychic jade hid Jia Baoyu's luck so that he could not observe it.

"You took off your clothes before seeing the foreigner, and you didn't go to see your aunt and sister!" Jia Mu said fondly. "I've met my aunt!" Jia Baoyu first saluted Jia Min, then he turned to look at Lin Daiyu, but he was stunned at this look.

I saw Lin Daiyu's eyebrows that seemed to be frowning but not frowning, and her eyes that seemed to be happy but not happy.

Lin Daiyu felt ashamed and annoyed when he stared at her, but she remembered that she was an engaged woman, how could she tolerate other men being so blasphemous.

"I have seen this sister before." Jia Baoyu said dreamily.

"But it's nonsense again. Have you ever seen him?" Jia Mu smiled and shook her head.

"Although I have never met him, I look at him so kindly that he is an old acquaintance in my heart. It's not a bad idea to just meet him again after a long distance," Jia Baoyu replied.

"Better, better, if so, we will be more harmonious." Jia Mu said with a smile.

But at this time, Jia Min at the table was annoyed. His nephew seemed to be a passionate young man. He is just like this at this young age, but he will be great when he grows up.

Jia Qiang was also slightly annoyed. If it weren't for the face of Jia Min and Jia's mother, he would have wanted to slap Jia Baoyu to death.

Jia Baoyu only felt a chill all over his body. This was because he felt the murderous intention from Jia Qiang, but a burst of warmth from the 'Psychic Jade' on his chest resolved Jia Qiang's murderous intention.

This made him think it was just an illusion and he didn't care about anything.

Jia Qiang's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the 'Psychic Baoyu'.

"I can take this jade and study it when I have time in the future!" he thought to himself.

Jia Baoyu didn't know that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and was being remembered for his own 'psychic gem'.

"Has my sister ever studied?" Jia Baoyu walked to sit down next to Lin Daiyu and asked with a smile.

"I have never read. I only went to school for one year. I just need to know a few words." Lin Daiyu stepped back and replied.

"What are the two words in my sister's honorary name?" Jia Baoyu asked again.

Lin Daiyu said what her name was.

"Do you have a cousin?" Jia Baoyu asked next.

"None!" Lin Daiyu shook her head.

"I give my sister a wonderful word, none more so than the word '馢馷'." Jia Baoyu said with a smile.

At this time, Lin Daiyu was not an orphan in the original history. When she heard what Jia Baoyu said, she was so angry that her face showed frost.

This surname cannot be given by just anyone. It is usually given by the parents and elders in the family. If a woman has a surname, it is either her father or her husband.

Jia Baoyu's frivolous attitude made Lin Daiyu no longer want to talk to him.

Jia Min wanted to have an attack, but she didn't reply for many years, and when she came back, she got angry over this matter. It was always a bad thing to say.

Jia Qiang knew who Jia Baoyu was, a spoiled young man whose life creed was that all beautiful women are good and fragrant, while the rest are smelly and bad.

He was already thinking of taking away Jia Baoyu's 'psychic jade' as compensation for Jia Baoyu's disrespect to Lin Daiyu.

"Is there any jade?" Jia Baoyu asked again.

He pointed to his 'psychic gem', indicating that this was what he was talking about.

"I don't have that. I think that jade is a rare thing, how can everyone have it." Lin Daiyu replied impatiently.

What a rare thing, it doesn't even make a distinction between high and low people, and yet it's said to be 'psychic' or not 'psychic'! I don’t want this shit anymore! "Just after Lin Daiyu said these words, Jia Baoyu suddenly became crazy. He took off the jade and threw it away, cursing in his mouth.

Suddenly there was chaos in Rongxi Hall. Jia's mother quickly comforted Jia Baoyu, while the other maids and mothers were busy picking up jade from the ground.

Lin Daiyu, who was left unattended, was too frightened to move. Jia Qiang frowned, walked to her side, and gently put his hand on her shoulder.

Feeling the warmth from Jia Qiang's hands, Lin Daiyu felt at peace in her heart, and she smiled at Jia Qiang.

Jia Baoyu, who had just been calmed down from going crazy, saw Lin Daiyu smiling at Jia Qiang.

At this moment, he felt that something important in his life was disappearing, and he instinctively rushed to Lin Daiyu's side.

"Who are you? How could you touch my sister, you stinky man!" Jia Baoyu shouted as he wanted to push Jia Qiang.

But where could he push Jia Qiang? Jia Qiang stood there like a mountain, and Jia Baoyu's crying was even more contrasting.

"Brother Qiang, men and women cannot be intimate. Although Daiyu is still young, you can't do this!" Jia Mu went crazy again when she saw Jia Baoyu, and hurriedly followed Jia Baoyu's words and said to Jia Qiang.

"Mom, Brother Qiang and Yu'er are engaged!" Jia Min stood up and said.

Jia Mu wanted to say something else, but she couldn't say it anymore.

She hugged Jia Baoyu and cried out like a sweetheart.

Jia Min shook her head. What kind of person her mother was back then, how could she be so doting on Baoyu when she got old?

She could tell that Baoyu was being fostered, but she didn't believe that Jia Mu, who was more shrewd, couldn't tell.

She only felt that this home was getting stranger and stranger. She looked at Lin Daiyu and Jia Qiang again, and saw the light in Lin Daiyu's eyes, but she smiled with relief.

"I want my sister, don't let her go!" Jia Baoyu stopped going crazy and murmured.

"Min'er, why don't you let Daiyu stay for a few days, live in my Bisha cupboard and stay with me!" Jia's mother turned to Jia Min and said.

"Good ancestor, sister, stay with me in the Bisha Cupboard!" When Jia Baoyu heard this, he immediately stopped being crazy and said with a smile and clapped his hands.

Jia Min and Jia Qiang both looked extremely ugly. After hearing what Jia Baoyu said, they didn't know that Jia Baoyu lived in the blue gauze cabinet. This put Lin Daiyu's reputation in the right place.

"You misunderstood. Baoyu moved to the Nuang Pavilion to accompany me, and the Bisha Cabinet was left to Daiyu!" Seeing that something was wrong, Jia's mother quickly explained.

"Master's wife, since the house in Rongguo Mansion is so tight, let Sister Lin stay with you at my place!" Jia Qiang said in a deep voice.

"Mom, it's getting late today, so Yu'er and I will go back first!" Jia Min didn't want to use her daughter's reputation to comfort Jia Baoyu.

What Jia Mu did made her feel cold.

"You..." Mother Jia still wanted to persuade, but she stopped when she saw the unhappiness on the faces of Jia Min and Jia Qiang.

"Master's wife, sister Lin, let's go!" Jia Qiang stood up and said protecting Lin Daiyu.

When Jia Qiang took Jia Min and Lin Daiyu out of the Hall of Honor, she heard Jia Baoyu shouting "sister" inside.

"Hey, how could this happen? Isn't this child useless?" Jia Min said softly in confusion.
