The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 274
Jia She doesn't love anything else, except the money in his hands.When he drove Jia Lian out of the house, he refused to leave a penny.Jia Amnesty knew that Jia Lian would not give him money, so he turned his idea on Yingchun.

The Zhang family's wife is filling in the house, and I heard that she cherishes her reputation. If she asks Mrs. Xing to make a fuss in the future, she is not afraid that the Zhang family will not obediently hand over the power of housekeeping to Yingchun.

It is reasonable for his daughter to subsidize him as a father from time to time, besides, Zhang's family has come to ask for this marriage. He has raised a daughter for [-] or [-] years in vain, and he should pay the Zhang family's dowry. of.

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty became even more enthusiastic about Zhang's uncle.

When the two families met, except for Mrs. Xing who was a little bit dissatisfied, everyone from the old lady to the little girl serving Yingchun was very willing.Jia's mother asked Lu in private who the Zhang family planned to invite. If there was no suitable one, she could come forward and call Mrs. Shi Jia.

Mother Jia is the daughter of the Shi family, and most of the older sisters of her generation have gone there over the years, so the brothers of the Shi family still have some respect for Mother Jia.When the old lady spoke, even if the two wives of the Shi family were unwilling, they did not dare to refuse.

Lu Shi said with a smile: "Don't worry, old lady, I've already thought about the candidate. Although Brother Yi is famous, but his grade is too low. Please invite the wife of the Shi family. I'm afraid outsiders will make irresponsible remarks."

Mother Jia clapped her hands repeatedly and regretted: "It's extremely, extremely, I'm so stupid, I didn't think of this."

The old lady only wanted to give face to her granddaughter, that is, to Jia's parents, but she forgot the identity of the Zhang family.If a historian who is one of the Eight Dukes is invited to be a matchmaker, there will probably be villains who will criticize the identity of the Zhang family.

After much deliberation, Jia's mother hoped that Yingchun's life at her in-law's house would be easier.

The two agreed that the marriage would be finalized as soon as Zhang Yi returned to Beijing.

After the banquet in the evening, Jia Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard with a red face.As soon as I entered the door, I saw seven or eight little girls gathered on the corridor chatting and laughing non-stop.Jia Baoyu hurried up the corridor: "What's the matter? What are you laughing at?"

Seeing him, Musk Moon hurriedly asked the little girl Chunyan to go in and pour tea: "Sit down quickly. Although it's September, it's still hot and stuffy. We wanted to cool off, so we invited you here. There is an old lady here who sent someone The grapes that were sent have already been tempered with well water, and they are very refreshing when they are cold."

Baoyu didn't even move his hands, and directly opened his mouth to take the grape that Sheyue stuffed, and the honey juice filled his mouth instantly.Baoyu laughed and said, "I also got some good things today. I'm still at Mingyan's place. I'll send them off to you tomorrow morning."

Sheyue, Qiuwen and the others looked at each other and smiled: "Why don't you go to the academy with the master to visit the master, and what kind of crooked things are you doing? Be careful that Grandma Xiren sees it and reprimands you again."

Baoyu looked indifferent: "My articles are so good that even the head of the academy praised me for being a great tool in the future. When the master was happy, he even gave me the fan that he usually used around him. Now I just bought some small things outside. Could the master still blame me?"

Baoyu took another handful of grapes in his hand, one bite at a time, but he still couldn't quench his thirst. He complained: "This day is also strange. It seems to be getting hotter and hotter now. I'll eat the tea outside." I'm not used to it, pour some cold water and I'll quench your thirst."

Xiren came out with a small bowl in his hand, and smiled before saying anything: "I have chilled water with ice, mixed with sweet-scented osmanthus dew, take a bite!"

Jia Baoyu was overjoyed, and raised his head to drink it in one gulp: "It's so good. You still know my heart."

Xiren laughed and said, "Although it quenches your thirst, I dare not ask you to use it more. This thing is too cold and hurts your liver and stomach." Xiren left the musk moon and autumn pattern behind him, and only stretched out his hand to pull Baoyu into the house.Xiao Hong lowered her eyebrows and closed the door curtain pleasingly, blocking a group of people from the door.

Qiu Wenqi's almond eyes widened, and Sheyue hurriedly said softly: "Don't be angry, let's go to the porch to talk. I'll tell them to wash the fruit again."

Everyone also knew that they were not as good as Xiren, and Qingwen, who was the only one who could stand shoulder to shoulder, went to the second girl's yard to talk again, and everyone went back to the porch as if nothing had happened, and continued the topic just now, still guessing that Mrs. Which girl do you fancy.

Inside the room, Baoyu, the Xiren attendant, took off the outer blouse, took off the collar around his neck, carefully wrapped the jade and stuffed it under the pillow.As soon as Xiren turned around, he saw Baoyu washing his face, so he smiled and said, "I heard that my uncle and wife didn't see you today, and I feel a little pity. But our happy event with the Zhang family is completed, and it is estimated that my uncle and wife will have to post more." The threshold of our house. My wife called me to talk just now, saying that the garden is now empty, so it’s better to move all four of you out and close the garden.”

Jia Baoyu didn't even bother to wipe his face, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly asked why: "It's so good, why did the wife think of this? Could it be that someone has made trouble in front of the wife again?"

Xiren spat: "You think people are too hateful. Besides, my wife's scruples are not unreasonable." Xiren pulled Baoyu to sit in front of the couch: "In the past, there were many sisters in the family, and the servants in the garden were not unreasonable." Many. But now Miss Three and Miss Bao have entered the palace, Miss Lin has left the cabinet, and Miss Shi has returned to her home. You and Miss Four are left in the garden."

Jia Baoyu shouted: "Where is the sister-in-law? There are two elder sisters in the sister-in-law's room. Although they are not from our family, the old lady has personally allowed them to live here. Is it possible to drive out the relatives?"

"Oh, my second master, please keep your voice down." Xiren hurriedly covered Baoyu's mouth: "Isn't this matter being discussed? It may not be possible! But... you are the second wife's biological son, and you can You should think about your wife. There are hundreds of people in the family, and the monthly salary alone costs four to five hundred taels. Is it possible that we don’t eat or drink? The poor harvest in the village in the past two or three years has been taken by the wife When the garden is closed, a group of maidservants can be sent out. The fruits, flowers and herbs produced can be sent to the shop for consignment, which is another good prospect."

Jia Baoyu hastily cut off Xiren's words: "I said you are stupid, but you still don't believe me! The third younger sister clearly explained the division of labor when she was here. I remember that Mingyan's mother even took the job in Yihong Courtyard. Our kind of family Number one, I most disdain to compete for profit with my subordinates."

Xiren choked, and had to apologize: "It's also because I heard someone in the wife's room talking about the second master. However, you take my words to heart. Listen to the second wife, we will not go back to the old lady when we move out. Left and right After Second Mistress Lian moved out, her small courtyard was always empty. The wife wanted someone to take care of it at the end of the year so that we could move in before offering sacrifices to our ancestors. As for Miss Si, she lived with the old lady. Live in the original yard."

Baoyu couldn't sit still for a moment, so she got up and went out to ask Jia Mu for clarification.

Xiren was afraid that Jia Mu would blame him, so he quickly held Baoyu down, so he didn't ask him to step out of the door half a step.

In the early morning of the second day, before Xiren got up, Jia Baoyu ran to find Jia Mu and begged Jia Mu not to tell him to move out.Jia Mu hadn't woken up yet, but she was woken up by Baoyu's ghostly crying and wolf howling, and hurriedly asked what was going on with the mandarin ducks.

The mandarin duck was also Zhang Er's monk who couldn't figure it out. Hearing Jia Baoyu sobbing and explaining the situation, Jia's mother felt distressed, so she hugged her grandson and comforted her: "The old ancestor will not ask you to move out in one day."

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, Baoyu still nestled in Jiamu's arms and acted like a child.Jia Mu was not too hot either. She groped Baoyu's forehead and asked if she had breakfast.

Jia Baoyu didn't close his eyes all night, thinking about this matter.When Jing Jia Mu asked, she suddenly felt sleepy, yawned, and her eyelids became heavy.The old lady was so distressed that she hated Wang's arbitrariness.He didn't ask Baoyu to go back to the yard, but ordered Yuanyang to spread the quilt again and give Baoyu his bed to rest.

Baoyu kicked off the short boots on his back, climbed onto the bed, and snored lightly after a while.

Let's say that at Yihong Courtyard, Xiren woke up but did not see Baoyu, so he quickly asked all the people to interrogate him.The mother-in-law who was still watching the gate said: "Second Lord got up so early, he ignored us, opened the door and ran outside."

Xiren stomped his feet: "Since you knew earlier, why didn't you come and call us!" Xiren was afraid that Baoyu would go to Wang's, so he didn't have time to wash his face and freshen up, so he went straight to Rongxi hall.Mrs. Wang hadn't gotten up yet, so Xiren had no choice but to look for Jiamu.

Sure enough, the mandarin duck stopped at the door: "You and the young master said something that shouldn't be said, and everyone was not safe in the morning. Fortunately, the old lady didn't know that you said this behind her back, otherwise she would have to annoy you .”

Xiren smiled wryly: "I'm afraid that if the old lady doesn't annoy me, the second wife will also hate me."

Yuanyang rolled her eyes: "You're not stupid enough yet. I advise you to report a letter to Rongxi Hall before the old lady asks the second wife, so that the second wife won't be caught off guard."

Xiren's calf was convulsed, and he was afraid to go: "My good sister, we have a sisterhood, no one can help me with this matter, only you can say a few words of intercession for me."

Xiren just kowtowed on the ground, and the mandarin ducks were tortured to the point of being helpless, as long as they went to see Mrs. Wang in person.

Mrs. Wang unexpectedly did not get angry, and even dismissed Yuanyang with a smile.After dawdling and having breakfast, Mrs. Wang went to greet Jia Mu.The old lady waited all day long, so she blamed Mrs. Wang for her visit.

"The old lady just doesn't talk about it, and the daughter-in-law wants to mention it too." Wang said softly, "The family is spending a lot of money now, so it's better to close the garden to rest and recuperate. It won't be too late to start it again when the crops on the village are ready. Besides, according to the master, Mr. Academy likes Baoyu very much, and intends to accept Baoyu as his apprentice. There are too many little girls in the garden, and Baoyu has no intention of studying. The daughter-in-law has also thought about it for a long time, otherwise Nor will it be done.”

After hearing Wang's words, Jia's mother couldn't help sighing, "Could it be impossible for the third prince?"

The old lady was still thinking about asking Baoyu to study with the third prince.

The third prince is not what he used to be. He is no longer the son of a maidservant, but the heir of the imperial concubine.Back then, as long as Baoyu had been more patient and careful, he would have become the third prince's confidant long ago!
