Jia Baoyu from the Red Chamber

Chapter [-]: Ming Yu

Grandma Liu told a short story for a long time, and it was a big hit. Jia Baoyu was also very comfortable eating tofu. When the time was almost up, Sister Feng came to invite Grandma Liu to go back for dinner. The banquet here is about to start.

Grandma Jia asked someone to deliver a few dishes to Grandma Liu, and they all picked up the meat that the girls ate less. This shows that Grandma Liu is very much in line with Mother Jia's wishes. Grandma Liu left Jia Baoyu She also reluctantly let go of Baochai and Daiyu's hands.

After the meal, Sister Feng brought Grandma Liu over again. At this time, Grandma Liu had changed her clothes and looked more energetic, but it made people feel nondescript, making everyone want to laugh but also Not good at speaking.

Grandma Liu talked about stories again. She has always been able to speak well, and many stories came at random. After telling two pleasing stories, she said solemnly: "Most of the previous ones were a little false. I will give you this." Tell me a fact that I saw." [

Hearing this, Jia Baoyu just felt that Grandma Liu was trying to create publicity. This old lady is not telling a fictional story. If she really told a real story, people might not like it. Grandma Liu is shrewd and would not say such a thing.

Although Jia Baoyu didn't care, Grandma Liu's words attracted everyone else. Grandma Liu cleared her throat and said, "Last winter, it snowed for several days in a row, and the ground was pressed three or four feet deep. Woke up early, and before I left the room, I heard the sound of firewood outside." After hearing a few words, Jia Baoyu knew which Miss Mingyu was talking about.

I suddenly became interested in it, not because of this story, but because I thought that my stable would no longer be open!Just thinking about it, he heard noises outside, Jia Baoyu thought it couldn't be such a coincidence!

"I'll go out and have a look," Jia Baoyu said, and he went out. This one went out to ask, and it turned out that the horse shed was on fire. This kind of thing is too coincidental. Jia Baoyu doesn't think it's a story made up by Grandma Liu. The horse shed was used by Jia Baoyu all the time, and Jia Baoyu's carriage was there.

Let someone tell Jia Mu and the others that Jia Baoyu went to check it out. When Jia Baoyu arrived, the fire had already been extinguished. Several guards from the mansion came, and the housekeeper who was watching the night was also there. When they arrived at Ligui, Jia Baoyu asked, "What's the matter? Did you lose anything?"

Li Gui followed Jia Baoyu to the side, "I didn't lose anything, it looks like the fire started naturally, but" Li Gui said a little hesitantly.

"Just say it directly, you don't need to be so scruples." After receiving Jia Baoyu's order, Li Gui was not polite, and said: "I talked with the guards, because the second master had ordered before that we should deal with the fire. The precautions are very good, there is basically no hay in this stable, and it is definitely not possible to catch fire suddenly in this kind of weather."

"You suspect it's man-made." Jia Baoyu's expression turned serious.

Li Gui nodded, "I think it's more likely to be man-made. This place is mainly for the second master's things."

Jia Baoyu was very satisfied with Li Gui's performance, and it would be great if he could make a bold guess, "Have someone search all the rooms of the servants outside, and don't miss any of them."

Li Gui got the order to go, Jia Baoyu stopped Li Gui again, "There are fewer people, don't disturb the old lady and the others."

After Li Gui went, Jia Baoyu took a good look at the stable. After looking around, Jia Baoyu already had a small result, and finally got into his own carriage. There were traces of someone coming in the carriage. , although it is extremely difficult to detect, Jia Baoyu has always been on guard against this aspect, because it is easy to see.

Jia Baoyu smiled, he was not afraid that no one would come, but he was afraid that you would not come, after waiting for so long, finally a small fish took the bait.This is also a rare thing, but I don't know who is so impatient, and wants to shoot himself so early.

Jia Baoyu entered the psychic space, and asked Fengyue: "Can you feel who it is?" To be able to know who got into your car directly, there are basically two ways to get it, one is the smell, This method requires a loyal dog. Jia Baoyu has no time to keep a dog, and Fengyue is the second one.

Fengyue has become more inscrutable recently. In the past, she would enjoy all kinds of entertainment, but recently, apart from Jia Baoyu, she ordered Mo Shuo to talk, even if she didn't open her eyes, she sat cross-legged every day. Know what is being done?

After hearing Jia Baoyu's words, Fengyue opened her eyes, "It can be found, but it will take some effort. I will tell the master when I am ready."

Jia Baoyu was about to leave after hearing this, but was stopped by Fengyue, which made Jia Baoyu very strange, this is not what Fengyue would do now, "Is there anything else?"

Fengyue nodded, "You'd better ask about the owner of Mingyu's story. Although I don't remember clearly, I seem to have some feelings. This is probably someone I know."

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu questioned: "How is this possible? Mingyu is just a fictional character created by Grandma Liu. How can it have anything to do with you?"

After hearing this, Fengyue retorted: "Master, in your world, isn't everyone a fiction? What should we do now, the existence of this Mingyu naturally has its value. In my subconscious, she is the most important thing for the master. , or someone in my favor."

Jia Baoyu nodded with a lot of doubts, and when he returned to Jia Mu, Grandma Liu had already started to tell a new story, Jia Mu asked about the outside situation and stopped asking, even though he was thinking about Mingyu. Jia Baoyu didn't ask any questions immediately, there was a fire just now, and Jia's mother is sensitive to this matter, so it's better to ask later.

Daiyu and Baochai felt a little strange when they saw Jia Baoyu's pensive look, but it's not easy to sit far away and ask directly. Grandma went down to rest, and Jia Baoyu followed, "Grandma, please stay."

Grandma Liu was very respectful to Jia Baoyu, "What do you want to order from the champion?" Jia Baoyu looked at the puzzled Sister Feng and Hepinger, and Jia Baoyu said, "I have something to ask you, let's talk about it on the way!" Talking about Jia Lian's matter, it would be no harm to tell Ping'er earlier, anyway, Jia Baoyu already has an idea in his heart.

After taking two steps, Jia Baoyu asked, "Is the story about the woman in red told by grandma true or fabricated?"

Grandma Liu didn't want Jia Baoyu to ask this question. Sister Feng and Heping'er were also very surprised. Jia Baoyu was not such a curious person in ordinary times. After hearing this, Grandma Liu replied quickly: "I dare not lie to the champion. It’s true, it happened to me.”

Jia Baoyu took a closer look and saw that Grandma Liu didn't seem to be lying, and she was more convinced by what Fengyue said, "It's not that I don't believe in grandma, but I'm just curious. That story is a good material. I want to read it." See if you can put it on the mansion newspaper, grandma, tell me all the stories."

This was naturally explained to Sister Feng and Hepinger. From Jia Baoyu's point of view, Grandma Liu didn't know what the newspaper was, but she didn't want to listen to Jia Baoyu's words, but Grandma Liu was very excited, "My story can still be published in the newspaper! That's true. The matter of Guangzong Yaozu."

Grandma Liu's reaction will make Jia Baoyu's influence on the Dibao even higher. I don't want the Dibao to develop so fast. It is understandable that his reputation has improved so quickly. Fascinated by ordinary people, they will instinctively write myths.

Grandma Liu talked about Mingyu's story again, saying that when she saw that figure, she thought it was someone stealing firewood outside, but she was terrified when she saw Mingyu's face, because there were hairs on both sides. Even if she fainted from fright, it was her daughter who got her in at home, otherwise she would have frozen to death.

Afterwards, Grandma Liu did a good job of inquiring about the situation before she found out about Mingyu's situation. Mingyu died of illness when she was 17 years old. After her death, her father built an ancestral hall in her image. There is no difference in the original works, except that what Grandma Liu said without any hesitation, it must be something that can only happen through personal experience.

Jia Baoyu asked about the location of the ancestral hall again, and Grandma Liu answered them one by one. Jia Baoyu just planned to visit in the next two days. After the story was finished, Jia Baoyu realized that Sister Feng and Heping'er were a little pale. , I didn’t understand it all at once, but I knew it after thinking about it. When Grandma Liu said it before, the atmosphere was still very full. It was really a horror story. It’s just that Jia Baoyu has heard too many stories like this, and she didn’t pay attention to the story itself, because it is I don't feel anything, but it's different when it falls on Sister Feng and Ping'er.

"Why is Sister Feng still afraid of such a story, as long as it sounds like a pastime." Jia Baoyu deliberately enliven the atmosphere.

Sister Feng also recovered after hearing Jia Baoyu's teasing, "I don't want to hear such a story, just thinking about it makes me feel scared."

At this time, he had already arrived at Sister Feng's place, and Jia Baoyu followed him in. When he didn't see Jia Lian, he asked knowingly, "Why don't you see your second brother here? Did you go out to do something?"

Sister Feng was quite annoyed when she heard this, "He said he was doing something, but I asked, and the master didn't give him any instructions, and the family didn't have anything to do in the past few days. I really don't know what he is doing. Where did it go?"

Jia Baoyu just said later that he found an excuse and called Ping'er out. Heping'er was mainly talking about things. Pretending to be ignorant.
