Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Daiyu asked with a smile, "Did you only buy one, or just gave me one?"

　　Baoyu looked a little embarrassed, but didn't know how to panic, and smiled: "I also bought two, one for Sister Bao and one for Third Sister. She likes these things the most."

　　Daiyu put down the bamboo basket with a smile on her face, "Since you gave me something, how could I not return the gift?" She lowered her head and rummaged through the desk.

　　Baoyu leaned over and said, "I don't want anything else, just send me the words I wrote just now." Then she went to get it.

　　Daiyu pressed her down: "Don't move!" Seeing Baoyu's astonished expression, she quickly changed her tone: "How can you give it away if you just write and play? Could you change it?"

　　However, Baoyu insisted: "My sister's writing is also very good. Good sister, will you give it to me?" Pulling on Daiyu's sleeve, she acted like a spoiled child.

　　Daiyu spat: "How old are you, and still like this?" Baoyu was still begging, but Daiyu couldn't and couldn't give it to him.

　　Baoyu held the words and praised them repeatedly: "They usually say that my words are good. Compared with my sister's, what I wrote should really be burned!"

　　Daiyu just smiled, "Why didn't you go to Sister Bao's place?"

　　Baoyu said casually: "I just went to Lixiangyuan, and my aunt is annoyed by Xue's eldest brother. Sister Bao was also lazy and said a few words..." Suddenly, a paragraph of white greasy plumpness of Sister Bao flashed in front of his eyes. " I'm here with my sister."

　　Daiyu nodded and asked, "Brother Xue hasn't been released yet?" I remember that my brother said that he would be locked up for a few days to keep his memory in order to prevent him from harming others in the future.

　　Baoyu smiled and said, "This matter started because of Big Brother Zhen. I told my aunt and told Big Brother Jane to let him go. It's no big deal."

　　Daiyu frowned, "Do you know what happened to Brother Xue?"

　　Baoyu thought about it for a while, and said indifferently, "I heard that they sold a few boxes of salt." Then she talked about salt politics, Daiyu rolled her eyes, "Baoyu, my father is a salt inspector. Censor!"

　　Baoyu's face was astringent, "Anyway, Xue's big brother is too common at the moment, and the maximum fine is a few taels of silver! Don't worry!" The news he heard halfway through, he came to this conclusion, and also It's hard for him.

　　Daiyu was willing to explain the ins and outs and the seriousness of the matter for him, but she finally held back.He never studied economics or asked about his career. Even if he explained it to him, he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't understand it.Daiyu couldn't help comparing him with Jia Zhen, the elder brother was a man who stood up to the sky, while Baoyu was just a child who had not grown up.

　　Baoyu was indeed still a child, and even Daiyu didn't want to hear what he had to say. He was still saying, "Sister Lin, shall we go to the eldest sister-in-law's courtyard? The second, third, and fourth sisters are all there!"

　　Daiyu said with a smile, "Go quickly! You can also give the bamboo basket to the girl along the way."

　　Baoyu asked, "Aren't you going?"

　　Daiyu coughed lightly, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go. Can you play?"

　　Baoyu really wanted to be with Daiyu, so she went to the door and turned back two or three times, but Daiyu only urged him to go and hurried away.

　　When he was far away, Daiyu found the words she had written earlier, held them in her hands and recited them silently a few times.Zijuan looked at them one by one, but couldn't say anything. She took out a stack of manuscripts wrapped in old handkerchiefs from the box and handed it to Daiyu. "Girl, what number is this?"

　　Dai Yuzhen put the manuscript paper in her hand and put it together: "This is my brother's sixteenth poem, plus twenty poems, as well as a few old essays I wrote for my brother. The collection is ready." She carefully flattened the folds of the old manuscript, raised the pen to think about it, and wrote the words "Nianzhen Ji" on the paper.Really Jane!

　　Re-wrap the old handkerchief, and put the purple cuckoo in the cage.I don't know what happened to my brother?On that day, when he was out of the city at the funeral, he saw him from a distance and knew that he was in a bad mood, and he couldn't even say a word.

　　Daiyu came out of Bisha's kitchen and caught her with a smile, "Girl, our second master has repeatedly asked me to invite you to discuss with the eldest grandmother."

　　Daiyu asked, "Do you know what they were discussing?" Xiren shook his head, "Perhaps it's about your poetry, right?" Daiyu laughed, "I went ahead a few times to start a society, but I didn't. It's done in one go. It's not too late for me to wait until they've finished negotiating." Then he went out.

　　Xiren still thought behind her, what happened to Miss Lin today?Maybe the second master has committed her petty nature again?

Chapter [-]: The Wang Family's Women Are Difficult

　　Daiyu came out of the Bisha closet, turned from the back porch to the old lady's backyard, passed the east-west hall, crossed the north-south wide passage, entered the west corner gate, and the first was Li Wan's yard.Daiyu hurried past, exited the East Corner Gate, and passed through the East Small Courtyard, not far from the Lixiang Courtyard where Sister Bao lived.

The girls came to the inner room, Baochai took her hand and let her sit on the couch, smiling: "Oh, you are a rare guest. Why do you think of us today?" Hold it to Daiyu: "It's windy outside, and keep your hands and feet warm. It's not a joke if you catch a cold."

Daiyu listened to her and said with a pouting smile, "Sister Bao, what you just said was like my brother!" Baochai remembered that Jia Zhen recognized her as her sister, so the brother she was talking about was Jia Zhen. "Why do I look like a big brother?"

Daiyu wondered when did Sister Bao call her brother like that? "When we went back by boat, my brother just thought for twelve hours, for fear that I would be blown away by a gust of wind."

Baochai hugged her in her arms and said with a smile: "Our frowns are really painful. If the wind blows away in our house, the big brother asks us to ask for someone, but there is no way to pay!"

Daiyu's pretty face blushed slightly, and she spat, "I will pay you to him, he will definitely be willing!" So Baochai also blushed.My heart was pounding, as if three words were always ringing in my ears: compensation for him, compensation for him!

At this moment, Aunt Xue came in through the curtain, and Daiyu hurriedly stood up and saluted.Aunt pulled her to sit on the couch with her, but Daiyu couldn't get away, so she had to sit.

Baochai snuggled into her aunt's arms and asked, "Mom, is there any news from the south?" The worry in my aunt's eyes flashed, "Not yet! I have sent someone to ask Brother Zhen in the Dongfu. Maybe he sees it. In my face, you won't embarrass your brother, will you?" Wang Yu has been in a state of turmoil these past few days.The person who was implicated in the calamity caused by Pan'er was almost on the verge of being indicted, and even her brother Prince Teng was impeached.Totally guilty.At that time, she was worried about Jia Zhen day and night, and she didn't know how many times she secretly cried with Li Wan.But who knew that Jia Zhen had nothing to do, which made her cry a few times.

Now that Pan'er is in prison, and his brother is beyond his reach, I just hope he can remember his old love!

Baochai comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Mom! Big brother has always been broad-minded, and he knew that he was also framed. At most, he should be locked up for a few days to vent his anger. And brother's temperament, I'm afraid it would be better if he was locked up!"

Daiyu also said, "Don't worry, Auntie, my brother won't do anything to the eldest brother of the Xue family."

Aunt Xue hurriedly asked, "How did you know?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "I asked about this when I was in Suzhou."

"Then how did the big brother answer?" Baochai grabbed Daiyu's hand and asked.

Daiyu imitated Jia Zhen's tone and said, "Alas! I really forgot that Xue Pan is still in prison! We will get him out in a few days. Although that boy is a bit of a jerk, if I don't care, Xue Pan My aunt won't let me go!"

"Amitabha!" Baochai clasped his hands together and said, "Mom, are you relieved now? Let's worry about my brother here, I'm afraid he's already out here looking for fun!"

Wang Yu also smiled, and she was very happy in her heart.But she still held her identity in front of Chai Dai, "Thanks to Brother Zhen this time, it's time to thank him!" It was enough to accompany him a few times.

Wang Yu was thinking about her own thoughts, and when she returned to the main room, she was thinking about her little daughter, and she lost her mind.Baochai and Daiyu laughed stubbornly, and occasionally talked about Jia Zhen's poems.Baochai smiled and said, "Big brother hides it, he is very good at poetry, but he always says that he can't. I have secretly memorized a few poems, and their artistic conception is broad and wide, which is not comparable in my boudoir. ."

Daiyu's heart moved, and she asked her to read out the few songs.Baochai took out a few pages of paper that he had kept from the burial, and read it over emotionally.Daiyu watched it carefully, silently keeping it in her heart.When she saw Baochai's precious appearance, how similar to herself was she?Could it be that she also...

A red cloud gradually appeared on Baochai's face, which made Daiyu even more suspicious.Seeing that Daiyu was looking at her, Baochai hurriedly covered her face with a piece of paper, "What are you looking at me for?"

Daiyu joked, "I thought Sister Bao was tempted by my brother!"

"Alas! Damn girl, bad frown, you have a rotten tongue!" Baochai was so embarrassed that he was so mad that he didn't even care about his usual dignified virtue.

The two were still fighting inside.In the main room, Wang Yu finally received a letter from Xue Pan from Suzhou: In the letter, she said that she did not have anything to do with her, and she was talking nonsense for several pages. Finally, she turned to the main topic, saying that Baoqin had been promised to Jia Zhen as a concubine. .Now he is the butler of the admiral's yamen, and even Xue Tao has a good job. The uncle and aunt are very satisfied, and so on.

Holding the letter in her hand, Wang Yu was trembling with anger, "How could he do this? He must not do this, absolutely not!" She immediately went to Ning's residence to find out, where did he put her?What is the general ethics?Thinking of this, I cried aggrievedly.

Daiyu Baochai heard the cry and hurried out to check.Seeing Aunt Xue crying on the case, bluffing Baochai to comfort her, I don't know what happened?With sharp eyes, Daiyu read the letter in her aunt's hand and said, "Big Brother Xue was let over?" Baochai listened and smiled, "Mom, you should be happy, brother is all right!"

Aunt couldn't hide her panic, she wiped her tears and scolded: "That bastard seed, when I see him, I must make him look good!" Not only Xue Pan, but also Jia Zhen.

Baochai took the letter from her aunt and panicked when she saw it at the end: "Mom, did brother really promise Baoqin to brother?"

Daiyu was also surprised when she heard it.When my aunt took the letter and accepted it, she decided: "Your brother is making a fool of himself, how could Baoqin be a concubine for brother Zhen? It wasted her life for nothing? I won't allow it." She said to herself again: " No wonder he didn't come to me, so that's how it is?"

Baochai nodded again and again, "Mom, did you go to the east to find your big brother to discuss lifting it? Baoqin is still young, I heard that it was planned to be given to the Mei family?" How could the Xue family marry him with two daughters at the same time?

Daiyu saw that their mother and daughter did not agree to give the Baoqin to her brother, and she felt displeased. His brother was a serious military marquis, and when he was in his prime, how could it delay her life?So she smiled and said, "Isn't this a good thing? Wouldn't it benefit my brother and the Xue family?"

The mother and daughter of the Xue family have their own thoughts.Wang Yu's thoughts could not be explained, Baochai girl's face was ashamed to speak, and they all fell silent.

Daiyu knew she had to go.So she got up to say goodbye.Baochai sent her out.Daiyu jokingly said, "Sister Bao, we are really relatives from now on!" Baochai blushed and said, "Is it a relative? I treat you as my own sister!"

Daiyu smiled and left.

Baochai returned to the back hall, and Wang Yu had already packed up and was about to go out.Tongxi hugged a burden and followed closely.Baochai asked, "Mom is looking for big brother?"

Wang Yu nodded, "Are you going to play with Baoyu at home? I might not be back until later."

Baochai thought that Tongxi was holding a silver note or something, so he didn't ask.

Wang Yu had already told Wang Jian that he must ask the master to go to his house in Wicker Lane.

Jia Zhen was cutting pears for Yindie and the others to eat, when she saw Wang Jian walking in, she knew it.

Wang Jian reported: "Uncle Feng invited someone to invite him." Jia Zhen was ready to go out.Qingwen holds the jade pendant, the third sister holds the belt, Xiangling holds the handgun, Yindie arranges the towel for him, Keren puts on the cape for him, and the second sister ties and hangs the jade for him.Jia Zhen took the handgun and hid it in her clothes, drank tea in Caiping's hand, and left in a hurry.

When they arrived at Wicker Lane, all the servant girls came to greet them, and Jia Zhen walked inside.Wang Yu hugged her daughter and talked to her.Jia Zhen hugged it and kissed it, then handed it over to Tongxi and asked her to take it outside to play.

After closing the door, Wang Yu had a lot of questions to ask in her heart, and she had to tell him that she must not let Baoqin enter the door, otherwise there would be her without me, and me without her...

However, when Jia Zhen came up, she stopped her mouth, leaving her speechless.Then, she only felt that she was in the air, and the next moment she lay on the bed, and she didn't know when the belt was unfastened...

Thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger, honestly do not deceive me!

During the intermission, Wang Yu took the time to express her attitude: "Bao Qin is my husband's niece, how can you take her as a concubine? Where do you put me? In the future, should Weier call her sister or aunt?"

Jia Zhen thought about it for a while and said, "Since you are with me, it's natural to judge from me. Weier should be called Aunt Baoqin."

Wang Yu was ashamed and annoyed, and reached out to hit him.It's a pity that the key parts of my own are mastered, and I can't help it. After three or two times, I will soften first, "Good brother, don't do this!"

Jia Zhen also regretted, "This is what my cheap son forced me to do, and I didn't want it!"

Wang Yu smiled and said, "Since this is the case, you should retire even more..." But Jia Zhen said nothing: "Xue Pan has already spread the news to the world. If I really retire Baoqin now, then she How can she marry a good person in the future? You know, she lives in my yamen now!"

Wang Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "I don't care, you must retire. Otherwise, I won't care about you anymore, and even Wei'er will not care about you!"

Jia Zhen said angrily, "Why are you unreasonable?"

The two quarreled on the bed.After all, Jia Zhen has no reason to say anything, so she was speechless after three or two sentences.He was so angry that he pulled over Wang Yu and pressed him down.Even if Wang Yu has a thousand words and a mouth full of lotus flowers, in the end there is no more useful than a stick.

Just ask if you accept it?But how could Wang Yu be willing to obey?

So Jia Zhen and Wang Yu fought a cold war for more than a month.Wang Yu finally couldn't take it anymore and stopped talking about it.News spread that Xue Baoqin was going to marry Jia Zhen as a concubine.

Baochai has also been emaciated a lot these days, and she is stuffy all day. Her mother is busy cooking the shop, and she doesn't touch the ground every day, so she has no time to take care of her.Fortunately, it was a little relieved that Daiyu often came over to talk.

Besides, it was Jia Zheng's birthday in a few days in the Rong Mansion, and when Sister Feng was ready, Fang sent his wife and mother-in-law away, and Xing'er came in in a panic.Sister Feng scolded: "If you have something to say, hurry up, I wasted my time by flinching!"

Xing'er said: "Then the Jingxu from Shuiyue Nunnery asked someone to come over, saying that the Chang'an garrison insisted on refusing to break the marriage, and even the envoy Yun Jiedu was on his side. Seeing that things were not going to happen, the Zhang family came to ask for silver taels, Jingxu The old lady asked grandma to show it, and I will come and pick it up in two days."

"What?" Sister Feng stood up abruptly and questioned him, "Didn't you send the letter to Yunguang?" Xing'er hurriedly replied, "The little one handed it over to Master Yun, and after hearing from Master Yun, he It's a trivial matter, and the little one came back to give you his life!"

Sister Feng's face was gloomy, and she put the tea cup in her hand on the desk, and the water splashed everywhere.Ping'er hurriedly wiped off the veil, "Grandma's hand hurt!" She looked at Sister Feng's face, and said cautiously, "According to my knowledge, Yunguang dared to refuse grandma's will this time, it must be better than ours. There are even more backstage people in Jia's house to support him."

"More backstage?" Sister Feng pondered, not many people knew about this matter, except for a few of her own, there was only Big Brother Zhen!

Yes, it must be him!He had warned himself before, not to interfere in this matter again!Thinking of this, Sister Feng was annoyed for a while.That person has high power, no wonder Yun Guangneng can't give Jia Lian face.His face is even bigger!

Feng Jie's face was cloudy and uncertain, and she selected and rejected the friends and relatives of Jia's family over the years.How could these people be able to match the Marquis of Ningyang who is currently the Holy Family?A few princes didn't move, only my uncle was different, but he couldn't quench his thirst in Jiubian far away!This thing can't be solved?

Do you really want to return the money?Money is small, not to mention three thousand taels, even ten thousand taels, but losing face and making people look down on it is the most annoying!How dare Jingxu come to the door to ask for money, and lend her a few courage!

Sister Feng made up her mind not to return the money, and scolded: "Go and tell that old nun, if she dares to come, I will refund the money to her!" Xing'er was at a loss and looked at Ping'er eagerly.Ping'er persuaded: "Grandma, I don't think that old Ni will dare to come, but these people are the most powerful, if we really don't pay back, maybe the crazy talk will be very annoying. It's better. It's gone, and I will cut off this journey from now on, so I don't have to worry about it!"

Sister Feng also knows this, but she can't swallow this breath!

At this time, Zhao'er also came in to report: "Uncle Rui on the back porch died today. His grandfather is here to report the funeral!"

It turns out that since Jia Rui was beaten, he has been bedridden, and gradually he can't get in.His grandmother also begged his wife for one or two ginseng whiskers for medicine, but he died within a day or two.It is said that when he died, he left behind a large pool of sperm, and he was a romantic ghost even when he died!

Sister Feng sneered: "This beast is finally dead!" Ping'er hurriedly gave them a wink, "Go to the account and ask for twenty taels of silver." The two looked at Sister Feng, who scolded, "Why don't you do it? Get out!"

Xing’er and Zhao’er hurried out.

Sister Feng was happy and worried, thinking about stealing the three thousand taels of silver, and Jia Zhen received the news that Jia Rui was finally dead, and she was even more dissatisfied with her.

After another two days, the intelligent child of Shuiyuean sneaked out to meet Qin Zhong privately.She was caught by Sister Feng on the spot and sent Qin Zhong back to Ning Mansion.Qin Zhong begged her sister to release Zhijier.Keqing was very ashamed and angry when she heard this. She hated both her brother's misbehavior and sister Feng for not showing any sympathy.Jia Zhen knew that Sister Feng was killing chickens to show the monkeys.But who is the chicken and who is the monkey, not necessarily!
