The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Aunt Xue said, "what do you call your wife?"

Madam Wang smiled and replied, "I won't go."

Aunt Xue was about to speak, and Sister Feng stepped forward and hugged Aunt Xue, "Good aunt, the old lady didn't go because it was too far, and the wife didn't go because Baoyu wanted to guard me. If you don't go, Auntie, my face will be gone. Besides, sister Baochai is still there! You don't have to worry about whether you're doing well or not."

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "Her brother can still treat her badly, but I don't worry about that. By the way, I was just about to tell you that Baochai will be brought back in two days. Although it is between relatives, it is not easy to stay long. in your home."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Then I can't control it, Auntie, if her brother doesn't let him go, I can't do anything about it. He said, if you don't go, he won't let sister Baochai look at others, even if there are good ones , I won't tell you, the eldest brother is like a father, he has given it directly. When the time comes to marry blindly, I can't blame him."

Aunt Xue said, "I still have to go today."

"Exactly."

Sister Feng pestered Aunt Xue, "Good aunt, just go back and forth, and I'll pay Second Master Lian."

Madam Wang reprimanded: "Your aunt is a guest anyway, so the proper etiquette is indispensable."

So Sister Feng casually blessed her, "Auntie, if you don't go, I won't give you the treasure hairpin back! You can do it!"

Aunt Xue pointed at her and smiled: "You are stubborn, and you are more and more towards Brother Lian. It's true that the couple will follow."

Sister Feng sighed and said, "Now the family is a high-ranking lord, and if you don't follow him, what can you do? I heard the old lady say that my mother-in-law is stupid, she only knows how to flatter her husband, and there are a lot of wives in the family, and everything, big or small, is at the mercy of the father-in-law. I’m still laughing secretly, I don’t know that I’ve been slapped so quickly, and like my mother-in-law, I regard his words as a golden rule. Who knows that there is an inheritance in their family.”

Saying this, there is no trace of grievance in her brows and eyes. Be careful, the focus is on the high-ranking Marquis! The Wang family has never had a Marquis, and the daughters of the Wang family have never married Marquis. She straightened her back and laughed at herself. People despised her confidence. So Mrs. Wang turned her head away, and Aunt Xue smiled brighter, "You can go as far as you want, it's important to give birth to an heir while you can."

Sister Feng rarely blushed, and she was not ashamed in front of Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, "These days are not less, but there is no movement, and there is no way to do anything! Aunt, it's settled, I will pick you up tomorrow, and give Baochai too. Say that a prince will be your son-in-law."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "Is it possible to let Brother Lian out?"

The smile on Sister Feng's face remained unchanged, "If Baochai is willing, I'll change it with her. I'm small, she's big, and it's just a cheap chain brother, and I'll wake up laughing in my sleep!"

Madam Wang said displeased: "This kind of joke can also be played."

Sister Feng only smiled, "A serious one, auntie, such a standout as Sister Baochai, you should also choose someone who was born into a happy family, ordinary poor officials, don't feel wronged by Baochai. And you can't help the Xue family. , but to fill them up."

As she was talking, Sister Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Auntie, just look for Brother Lian!"

Aunt Xue laughed and scolded: "Knowing that you love Brother Lian so much, you think it's cabbage on the street, let anyone choose it, don't be complacent, you can't have a son, you will be happy in the future!"

Feng girl is lucky, Madam Wang and Aunt Xue are only envious. Aunt Xue smiled, but an idea jumped into her mind involuntarily, whether to be a concubine with Hou Ye, or a wife with a commoner, that is, with Jia Jia Chain as a concubine, or as a wife with Baoyu, which one is better, Aunt Xue also thinks this idea is absurd. Her daughter has never thought of being a concubine. Once the idea of ​​one's birth takes root, it can't be easily removed. With Brother Lian's position of power, it is exactly what the Xue family desperately needs. What can Baoyu do to help the Xue family is really a bit reckless.

Chapter [-] Looking for the next day as you did, Jia Lian went back to the Rong Mansion early for the Baochai business. After entering the second door, he saw a girl come out with a burden. Jia Lian left. Going up, he recognized Qian Xue, the big girl in front of Baoyu, and asked with a smile, "Where is your second grandmother and where is your concubine?"

But this Qianxue just shook her head, with a sad and lonely look on her face, she went around Jia Lian and walked out. Hey, if you haven't come back for a day, the girl here won't take herself as a master, right? "You stop!"

Jia Lian was displeased and said, "Why don't you tell me if I ask you something?"

Then Qianxue stopped just now, and gave a slight blessing, "Returning to the second master, the servant was kicked out today and did not dare to enter the door inside, so I don't know what's going on inside."

Jia Lian smiled suspiciously and said, "Isn't Baoyu always able to be a little hurt to you? Why is she willing to drive you out?"

Qianxue hesitated, the tears in her eyes seemed to be broken, "It wasn't him who pushed him."

Who should be Mrs. Wang Jia Lian took a closer look at Qian Xue, her figure and face are also very impressive, no wonder Mrs. Wang couldn't tolerate it. "Okay, why are you crying?"

He smiled and said, "You just tell me where the second grandma is, and I'll make peace for you and let you stay."

Qianxue still shook her head, "Second Master, the slaves only saw that Sister Su'er went to his wife's place, and the others really don't know."

Jia Lian couldn't help laughing and said: "You girl is really sincere, you can say a place she often goes to, even if she doesn't go there, she just said she went to another place."

Qianxue shook her head and said, "The slaves can't deceive the second master."

Jia Lian nodded and said: "It's a good girl. Well, if you want, follow me to the garden over there. There are still two girls missing by Miaoyu's side, and there has been no good match, so you count as one."

After all, it doesn't matter if she wants it or not, "Take the baggage and follow me."

Qianxue had no choice but to follow behind him. So she passed through the hall and entered the hanging flower door. In the small three-room hall, she ran into a little maid who had only left her head, but she was also in Baoyu's room. When she saw Qianxue, He hurriedly pulled her, "Sister Qianxue, it's not good, Second Master Bao got into a fight with someone in school. The little servant sent a message from outside, what should I do? Do you want to tell Sister Xiren?"

Qianxue was startled, she was about to go over, remembering her current identity, she hesitated again: "Huixiang, you can just tell Xiren quietly, don't yell at the wife and old lady to know."

Huixiang nodded and saw Qianxue's burden, she smiled and said, "Where is my sister going?"

Qianxue didn't dare to talk. Jia Lian smiled and said, "I'm missing someone there, so I asked her to come with me. You said just now that Baoyu was fighting in school, what's going on?"

That Huixiang was also an hearsay, half-talking, but in reverse, Jia Lian even dismantled and confused, but he understood 89% of the time. [-]. It turns out that this clan was originally headed by Jia Rui. Two months later, I also went with Jia Zhen. Jia Dairu was old and sad that his only grandson died, and he had no mental problems. He became more and more unattended in school. Baoyu was forced to study here, originally only once every three or two days to meet Jinger. But there are two students in the school. They are of average age. They are charming and shy, timid and shy. Those who have good deeds are nicknamed Xianglian and Yuai. Baoyu has left her sisters and is full of heart The sustenance, as soon as I meet these two people, they will be inseparable. Later, there is another Jia Qiang, who is beautiful on the outside, smart on the inside, can't help but envy, and flirt with mercy. It's been a day. There is a man named Jin Rong. Seeing Jia Qiang and Na Xianglian secretly going out to talk about themselves, he also paid attention to follow them. He immediately caught them while they were playing with sesame seeds, and they were screaming together. Baoyu has always been friendly with Jia Qiang, and naturally helped her out. Jin Rong said nothing, and Jia Qiang became angry, so he fought. Baoyu's desk, chair and paper inkstone were accidentally broken. So Baoyu's servant also used it. The tussle will make a good clan school messed up. It is still full of mess now. Jia Lian despised and let them make trouble, "As long as Baoyu is not hurt, the old lady doesn't care. Don't worry! Qianxue, let's go. !"

Huixiang in the back saw that Qianxue actually followed the second master of Lian. She didn't know what to do, and she wondered if it was because she climbed the high branch and was asked by the second master to go and said that Jia Lian didn't find Sister Feng in her small courtyard, but met her. Aunt Xue came over in a hurry. She let her in, and asked Qian Xue to pour tea. Aunt Xue glanced at Qian Xue, "Why did this girl come to you?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "I was kicked out for some reason. I met him at the door and came back. Why did you come to me in such a hurry?"

Aunt Xue sighed and said, "I really did something wrong in my past life, how could I give birth to such a worthless thing? Brother Pan was cheated of more than [-] taels of silver in Jingxiang. in prison, waiting for redemption!"

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"

Aunt Xue took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Jia Lian. Jia Lian hurriedly read it. In short, it was someone who sold a fake to Xue Pan at a high price. I don't know the source of the liar, so dozens of companies who were deceived before asked Xue Pan to compensate. They were deceived more than [-] taels before, and they accompanied them in more than [-] taels. All sold out. How can this not make Aunt Xue anxious to get angry? Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother Pan is really a big hand. I don't ask anyone to check things worth [-] taels. It really is the style of the rich."

Aunt Xue is still scolding him now: "This kid is not in front of my eyes, or I will break his legs in anger!"

Jia Lian reassured: "If tens of thousands of taels of silver are worth anything, just buy a lesson for Brother Pan, and it won't be the case in the future. Lian Baoyu is still today: fighting with others in school, not to mention Brother Pan"

Aunt Xue can't tell how hard it is. Brother Pan hasn't been out for two years, and the areas in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and Guangxi have already paid for it. Where is the Xue family's tens of thousands of taels for him to squander like this? The Xue family's 100-year-old foundation will be destroyed. It's in his hands. "Brother Lian, can you think of a way to get Brother Pan back?"

Jia Lianwei: "At that time, I said that I was away for three years. It's only been a year and a half."

Aunt Xue felt anxious in her heart, "Brother Lian, Pan'er is now suffering in prison, and he can't pass a day. There are still people who want to pay the bills: forcing debts."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "Auntie is not in a hurry, those who want debts don't want money, just send it away. Brother Pan will naturally be released at that time."

Aunt Xue said she couldn't hold Jia Lian's hand, "Brother Lian, to tell you the truth, although I still have some savings now, I can't quench my thirst from afar. Pan'er compensates Brother Lian, only you can save Pan'er."

Jia Lian pondered: "Auntie, don't be in a hurry. Let me ask about this matter. In the end, let the government release people first, and then draw shadows to hunt down the liar."

"well!"

Aunt Xue's dangling heart immediately relaxed. As long as Pan'er was fine, she could still earn a little money. Little did she know that her husband's annual income was only less than half of it a few years after the death of her husband. Holding her hand, "Auntie, I'm here to pick you up for a walk in the garden. The carriage has long been waiting outside the second gate."

Aunt Xue smiled and said, "I wanted to go for a long time. I heard from girl Feng, you are planning to find someone else for Baochai."

Jia Lian coughed lightly, "I don't know what kind of family my aunt wants."

Aunt Xue thought about it for a while and smiled: "Feng girl said, it would be good to look after you!"

Jia Lian's heart moved, so he thought: "That's a little embarrassing, people of my position are dozens of miles away, people of my age are quiet and subordinate, and people of my age and status are not married yet. Well, it seems that there are only a few princes in the Shenjing who are stronger than me."

So Aunt Xue smiled and sighed: "That's the blessing of Feng girl, Baochai is incomparable. If she was born two years earlier, maybe there is no such thing as Feng girl."

Jia Lian also laughed: "Auntie's jokes can't be taken! It's easy to be serious."

Aunt Xue looked at Jia Lian: "That's all I said, you can listen to it casually. You are not the prince of the county, and you still want Queen E's daughter Ying to be careful with the girl Feng and you!"

Jia Lian was surprised: "I thought that if I were the Duke of the County, my aunt would give me the treasure hairpin!"

"Pooh!"

Aunt Xue laughed and scolded: "Death this heart as soon as possible! Let's talk about it when you become a prince!"

Chapter [-] This incident can be confirmed that Jia linked Aunt Xue into the garden, but Keqing and Miaoyu should entertain them. They also asked Qianxue to follow Miaoyu. They just planned to sneak in, but Lin Ruhai just happened to send someone, saying that it was Jia. When Yucun arrived, Jia Lian had to turn back. Lin Ruhai had turned the west wing into a study, and he was in the room at this time. When he walked in, Jia Yucun asked with a smile on his face, "Master Marquis, I haven't seen you for a few days. See you in style!"

Jia Lian was very satisfied with what Jia Yucun had done before, and said with a smile: "Brother Yucun, I have nothing to do with you now. It's not as good as your case. If you have time, you and I can have two cups."

Jia Yucun's smile was even brighter, "Since Lord Hou invited you, how could Brother Yu not agree to come back to disturb you at that time?"

Lin Ruhai was behind the book case, seeing that the two were intimate, and said with relief: "Lian'er, Yucun is here to praise you, you are thoughtful, and you really have the talent to help the world."

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Uncle, Brother Yucun, why did I start to get confused?"

Jia Yucun only cupped his hands, "Ashamed!"

Lin Ruhai laughed and scolded: "How come you have done a good deed, how come even I have concealed the matter of Captain Qiu, did you expose it?"

Jia Lian glanced at Jia Yucun intently. Then Jia Yucun hurriedly explained: "Master Marquis forgives his sins, it was Lord Tingwei who asked, but the lower officials really dare not take credit, so they have to."

Jia Liancai smiled and said, "What am I supposed to do!"

He put away the disgust and vigilance in his eyes, turned to Lin Ruhai and said, "It's also a coincidence, that Captain Qiu put the money in print, forcing the ruins of those villagers, it happened that I coveted the land and bought it back at a high price. So I know. Originally I just want to teach Qiu Duwei a lesson, who would have thought that there would be something later?"

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard and said, "It's a coincidence, Lian'er, do you know that you have made great achievements?"

Jia Lian pretended to be at a loss and said, "What great merit will you be promoted to?"

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "You are already a marquis, and you are still promoted. Do you want to be angry with those of us who don't even have a title?"

Jia Lian said embarrassedly, "Uncle, I don't even know what merit I have made."

Lin Ruhai said: "It is not appropriate to elaborate on the details, you only need to know that the emperor struck with a thunderous strike and decisively took down those worms and scum who are in the dark, and he is already in power, and he can finally show his ambition. reason"

He raised his hand, and the servants next to him each poured a glass of wine for them. Lin Ruhai said: "Please drink this glass, congratulations to the Holy Son of Heaven!"

"Congratulations to the Son of Heaven!"

Jia Lian and Jia Yucun looked at each other with some hesitation in their eyes. They drank it. So Jia Lian couldn't help expressing his worries, "Uncle, does my nephew think it's not appropriate to be too optimistic about this?"

Lin Ruhai's face is rosy, and those people wave their hands, even if someone supports them, they will not kill themselves. The emperor has straightened out the government affairs for a while, and next year's hunting in the iron net mountain, the general situation is set."

Jia Lian said yes and squinted at the village. I saw him bowing his head and pondering for a long time before he said: "Lord Tingwei, according to the lower official, we still need to remind the emperor, the more victory is in hand, the more cautious we need to speak. , Capsizing the boat in the gutter, must be guarded against."

Lin Ruhai praised: "The rain village is the old saying of seeking the country."

Just when they were happy, there were also people discussing. A few people gathered in front of King Beijing, looking at the geese and roosters in red robes in the court. They only heard Shuirong saying: "Recently, several generals have lost their way. I told them not to be discouraged when they got the official position, and when the time comes, they will have their own time to come forward. The family has their own financial support, and let them rest assured."

"Prince Bu Lao said, I have already ordered them to restrain the old department. After so many years of support, they have to be used at critical moments!"

Shui Rong said with a smile: "That's the reason. But I don't know how Uncle Niu is now. I haven't heard his bold laughter for a while."

Everyone laughed for a while, and someone said, "I heard that I was scolded by the emperor yesterday, and I'm still thinking about it at home!"

Shui Rong sighed: "Uncle Niu has been shrewd all his life, and he has both sides. When he came to this place, he hit a nail."

"Uncle Niu's appointment as the Minister of War as a lord is an expedient measure, but it is not the right way after all. My lord, is it time to change it?"

Shui Ming clasped the table with his fingers, "It's just that I don't know who the emperor's idea was."

Some people speculated: "Will it be still: Prince Teng of patrolling"

Shui Rong thought for a while, then shook his head again, "It's too early to mention this. I would like to ask, what does Jia Lian do at home?"

"It is said that a garden was built with huge sums of money, but it was rented to Lin Ruhai, the head of the Dali Temple."

Shui Rongdao: "This person knows how to hide."

"My lord!"
