The Red Chamber: Lianyufengchai

Madam Wang also persuaded: "Master, calm down your anger, after this incident, Baoyu must know that he was wrong, and he will never be able to do it again, so just forgive him this time!"

Jia Zheng shouted angrily: "Forgive me time and time again, did he ever remember the lesson?"

He remembered the perfunctory attitude of Prince Teng in front of the Daming Palace, and couldn't help but get even more angry, "I'm still waiting for something to tie up and fight!"

Baoyu's face turned pale with fright.

Chapter [*] This is the tradition of the Jia family. Jia Lian left the warm pavilion, and the emperor's cough was faintly heard behind him. It seemed to be stronger than before. Jia Lian sighed and was about to leave. The little eunuch of Fengzao Palace saw Jia Lian hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "My lord, the lady has summoned me!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Father-in-law please tell the maiden, nothing to do for now, I need to go back to the house to settle down properly, and then send my greetings to the maiden!"

So I went straight back to the Rongguo Mansion. The mansion was going through a lot of trouble. Jia Zheng wanted to fight, the old lady and Mrs. Wang wanted to stop her, and Mrs. Xing and Aunt Xue just watched the show. Before it was too late, how could he beg for mercy? So when Jia Lian entered the ceremonial gate, Sister Feng and Mrs. You immediately went up to greet him. Li Wan took a step slowly and followed. Sister Feng hurriedly asked, "Second Master, how's it going?"

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Jia Lian wiped them off for her, "I reprimanded her and got a kick from the emperor, nothing else."

Sister Feng put her hands together, "Amitabha, thank God!"

You Shi secretly wiped away her tears and teased Sister Feng: "I don't burn incense on weekdays, I'll remember it later."

Sister Feng spat: "Hug the Buddha's feet temporarily and donate more silver taels of melons and fruits, is the Buddha still unwilling?"

You said with a smile: "Listen, even the Buddha dares to arrange what he said! As long as the second master Lian is all right, we can rest assured!"

Sister Feng glanced at You Shi sideways, "It's ridiculous, what's your business?"

You's face flushed, and he argued strongly: "Second Master Lian is now the leading figure in our Jia family. He is good and we are all good. If he has three strengths and two weaknesses, how can we survive alone?"

I was very flustered in my heart, for fear that Sister Feng would see the signs. But Sister Feng only nodded: "This is quite understandable!"

Li Wan didn't speak, but his eyes never left Jia Lian. Jia Lian smiled and said to her: "Eldest sister-in-law, just met Mr. Jia in front of Daming Palace, saying that it was our... The preface of the collection has been compiled, I don't know. Sister-in-law, you send someone back to get it, or I will go by myself"

Li Wan didn't expect Jia Lian to talk to her, his face flushed red, and he lowered his head and said, "I'll go! Second Master is rarely free, so I just happened to be going back."

Jia Lian took Sister Feng's hand. The third sister-in-law walked back together. Sister Feng smiled and said, "Master wants to beat Baoyu at this moment, do you want to persuade?"

Jia Lian sighed, "Baoyu's trouble this time is a bit big, how can he let it go?"

When she came to the front, the old lady hurriedly said, "Brother Lian has nothing to do. It can be seen that you are all making a fuss, and you are planning to hit my Baoyu. If you hurt him, I can't spare you!"

Jia Lian shook his head with a smile, and only turned around and sent the order to Jia Shou Jia Guo, "Block the front and rear doors. From now on, anyone entering or leaving the mansion will need to register with the house number, and they are not allowed to enter or leave the mansion easily. At the same time, tell them that whoever dares to let Baoyu leave the mansion without permission, immediately .Break your legs and get out!"

"Yes!"

The two of them were ordered by Jia Lian, and immediately replaced all the front, back, left, and right access guards with their own. Madam Wang exclaimed: "Brother Lian, you are going to lock Yu."

Jia Lian sighed: "Auntie, this is the will, for Baoyu to be banned, and only when the emperor grants him permission to go out can he escape the ban."

Mrs. Wang did not say anything, but Baoyu said, "If you stop, you will stop. He doesn't want to go out to socialize. He is with his sisters and girls at home. I'm afraid he will follow his wishes. Aunt Xue really understands, although Baoyu is a child. He has a mellow temperament, and is also smart and wise, but after all, it is not a material for a great weapon: he may be able to raise his eyebrows with Baochai, but it will definitely not benefit the Xue family. Maybe the Xue family will make up for it in the future. But the more I look at it, the more I feel that Jia Lian is pleasing to the eye and kind, thinking that he and Baochai are together on a daily basis, maybe they can make it by themselves, without having to talk about reconciliation. The equal wife of a prince is no better than the wife of a wealthy commoner. Madam Wang didn't know that Aunt Xue had finally made up her mind. She was afraid that the long-rumored relationship between Jin Yu and Yu was about to die. At this time, Bao Yu had already been taken to the bench, and she was about to be beaten when she took off her clothes. Just want to stop. Lin Zhixiao hurriedly ran in, "Old lady, master, madam, eldest madam, second master, second grandmother, the empress has sent someone."

As soon as his voice fell, a little eunuch walked in with a whisk and did not salute others, but only called Jia Lian a thousand dollars, "Grandpa, the maiden has a message for you."

Jia Lian lowered his hand and said, "My brother, please listen to the lesson."

The little eunuch said: "My lady said, Baoyu has caused a big disaster this time, if you don't punish him severely and strictly control it, you will only be afraid that it will not be successful in the future.

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please remember!"

The little eunuch said with a smile, "The grandfather of the country, please do it yourself, the little one: I will return to the palace to return to my life!"

Jia Lian motioned to Lin Zhixiao, Lin Zhixiao hurriedly invited the little eunuch to drink tea, so that it would be good to serve it. Therefore, Jia Lian turned around and ordered to the left and right: the little servant who took the board, "What are you still doing? !"

After all, the old lady had no choice but to watch her precious grandson be beaten. Baoyu had never been beaten since she was a child, and now even if the old lady stopped her, it was useless. After just one hit, the skin split open, and the whole body stinged, and she couldn't help screaming. The old lady cried, "Baoyu! Baoyu! Okay, that's enough! Do you really want to kill him?"

Jia Zheng was still there: in his rage, despite the old lady's cry, he insisted on it for a while, and shouted: "Go on, hit [*] boards! You can't miss it."

This time, I hit him, and only Baoyu's heart-breaking shouts were heard in the arena, as well as the crying of the old lady and Mrs. Wang. Li Wan couldn't help but persuade: "Second Master Lian, go and persuade the master! Do this again! Hit it, I'm afraid it will break."

Jia Lian turned his head and said with a smile: "But it's okay. That's how my father taught me that year. When Uncle Jing beat Brother Zhen, he didn't beat him as a son, and it didn't matter."

Li Wan was dumbfounded and could no longer speak. Sister Feng asked nervously, "Then how did you get persuaded later?"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "No one persuaded me, but I just rested in bed for two months."

Compared to Baoyu, Mrs. Xing, who can be described as desolate, was a little embarrassed, and she quickly explained: "At that time, your father was so angry, who would dare to persuade you, too? The beating was even more severe, but nothing happened. It’s just that Baoyu is weak.”

He deliberately didn't say it again. With a word to set up a bridge and set fire to fire, Jia Zheng became more and more ashamed, still thought he was playing lightly, kicked off the palm plate, grabbed it by himself, gritted his teeth and slapped him for thirty or forty times. Jia Lian saw that he was almost beaten, and if he beat him again, he would be killed. Then he stepped forward and pulled Jia Zheng: "Uncle, it's fine to punish a little and a big commander. After this time, Baoyu should also remember the lesson, and since he has been grounded, he will definitely not. You will be fooled again, and if you make a mistake, you can remember the rest of the board first, and if you commit it again, you will be punished severely."

Jia Zheng threw the board and rolled down tears, "How would I want to beat him just to ask him to remember this time, and if he doesn't get confused, if he doesn't harm others or himself, he will be blessed."

The back of Baoyu's beating was dripping with blood, and she had passed out. The old lady was distressed and angry at the same time. She couldn't cry while holding Baoyu. Madam Wang cried, "If you have something good or bad now, leave it behind. Me, tell me to rely on that one!"

A scolding, and crying "unsatisfactory son"

When Jia Zheng heard this, he became discouraged and regretted that he shouldn't have attacked him so badly.

Chapter [*] Baochai's marriage is difficult. Baoyu was beaten. Not only was Baoyu beaten in front of the old lady, Baoyu was injured, Mrs. Wang had no intention of taking care of the housework, and Li Wan was ashamed to see Jia Lian. It was up to Jia Lian to decide. Jia Lian took this opportunity to resign some of the unusable, lazy and lazy people together, and the people in Rongfu were reduced by half at once, and the daily ostentation expenses were all saved. Frugal, no one is overwhelmed by things, wasting money and other situations. When Zhibaoyu recovered and the people below him became accustomed to it, Mrs. Wang was unable to put things right. She barely supported it for a few days. Jia Zheng has never cared about common affairs, but he only thinks that Brother Lian is the housekeeper, and he is very appropriate everywhere, even more so. Every time Mrs. Wang and Aunt Zhao gossip, Jia Zheng never listens. I'm worried about the future. That's something to say later. One day after the show, it was Mrs. Wang Ziteng's birthday. The old lady and Mrs. Wang went to congratulate Baoyu after being beaten. Aunt Xue, Sister Feng, and several sisters of the Jia family, Baochai They all went together. Jia Lian didn't need to go, Wang Ziteng invited him to have a drink, and then he went to the palace. Wang Ren personally picked it up, "Master, long time no see!"

Jia Lian smiled and said, "Brother, what you said is out of the question."

Sister Feng got out of the car, "Don't pay attention to him, maybe there is something else waiting for us. It's better to pretend that you don't know, just now your ears are clear."

Wang Ren smiled and said, "I can't welcome you to my grandfather because of what my sister is saying."

Sister Feng only took Jia Lian and walked in, and instructed: "You have spoken to uncle, and then please give aunt's peace!"

Jia Lian nodded in agreement. Wang Ren led Jia Lian into the ceremonial door, and then he arrived at the main hall. Wang Ziteng was holding tea, and when he saw Jia Lian, he did not get up, and said with a smile: "Brother Lian, it's just in time, it was just yesterday. You just got Mingqian Longjing, you can try it too"

Jia Lian sat down directly on the chair, while the maid served tea. He took a sip, "The taste is sweet, the mouth is soft, the fragrance is pleasant, but it is a rare quality."

Wang Ziteng said in surprise: "My nephew also understands tea."

Jia Lian smiled and said: "There is a master of tea ceremony in the family, who teaches every day, under the ear and the eyes, he is still not proficient, and he knows a little bit."

Wang Ziteng nodded, "Good tea should be paired with someone who understands tea, so that it won't be ruined. To be honest, my nephew, I don't know anything about this thing, wait: go back, you can bring it back as much as you can."

Jia Lian cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Xie, so that my nephew can show off in front of my Miao'er."

Wang Ziteng pointed at Jia Lian and laughed, "Look at your success!"

After speaking, he put down the tea cup, "I heard that Baoyu was beaten"

Jia Lian was still sipping, "Baoyu is too honest, as long as others treat him well, even if they give him a needle, he will treat him like a club and fall into other people's traps without knowing it. It can be regarded as a lesson for him, and he will never know it in the future. Until there is another accident."

Wang Ren interrupted: "Forgive Baoyu, how big a mistake a baby can make. In the end, didn't the emperor not punish you? What a fuss, and only taught Baoyu to be beaten from beginning to end."

Jia Lian held the Gaiwan'er in his hand, "What my brother said is, why don't you ask your brother to write a random note and hand it to the palace of Beijing, how about you?"

Wang Ren was embarrassed and dared not answer. Wang Ziteng scolded: "Ignorance, even this can be a joke, be careful even I can't save you!"

Wang Ren hurriedly bowed and said, "Uncle calm down, nephew knows he is wrong."

Prince Teng picked up his mustache and said, "Baoyu was stubborn since he was a child, he didn't like to read, and the old lady spoiled too much. Originally, I didn't want to ask, but now that this happened, I also told my brother Zheng and my eldest sister. From now on, be sure to strictly discipline, maybe there will be one or two in the future, and it will benefit.”

Jia Lian said: "Uncle said yes."

He didn't speak again, as if he was savoring the taste of Longjing in the bowl. Wang Ren asked with a smile: "Master, I still call you Brother Lianli. If you go to Jiangnan, I'm afraid you will make a lot of money."

Jia Lian didn't look at him, got up and said: "Uncle, today is my aunt's birthday, and my nephew hasn't greeted my aunt yet, please retire first, and then listen to my uncle's teaching!"

Prince Teng praised: "This is what it should be. You can go by yourself! I still have guests here. You can go to my study later."

Jia Lian complied, and went to the back hall. Wang Zi Teng's face was gloomy, and he grabbed Wang Ren and scolded, "Beast, if you don't know how to speak, then!"

Besides, Jia Lian came to the back, where the female family members were. There were a few of them, with a little emerald gold phoenix hairpin on them, wearing a moon-white ruffle skirt, which looked charming and lovely. The girl saw Jia Lian coming in and hurriedly let her in. She was the prince. Teng's daughter's name is Xiluan. Jia Lian jokingly said: "How long has it been since I haven't seen Sister Xi, why did I see my brother-in-law, instead of coming to say hello, but hiding, what's the reason?"

Xiluan said: "Second brother Lian is not serious, so naturally he has to hide."

It made everyone laugh. Jia Lian wondered: "My words are not serious."

Xiluan said shyly: "Every word you say is serious!"

After speaking, he gave him a blank look. Jia Lian couldn't understand it, it wouldn't be the one before... Jia Lian's sister Feng stopped laughing, "Every time you meet, you always have to say a few words. I met my aunt first. "

Jia Lian saluted Mrs Ye, the wife of Prince Teng on the front couch, along with Aunt Xue, the wife of Prince Sheng, and then his sister and Baochai. Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "You and your uncle are talking and drinking outside, we girls are not here. leave you."

However, Jia Lian moved a few pieces and sat on the edge of Tanchun, "Auntie, I just came from my uncle's place, and you chased me out, my uncle thought I was insincere and was more perfunctory than going through the motions, wouldn't it be bad for my aunt? let me sit"

Aunt Xue jokingly said: "You are also a man of the country, and you are afraid of your uncle."

Jia Lian shook his head and said, "Auntie is joking, I'm just impatient to accompany my uncle to entertain guests, just to hide."

Sister Feng only said: "Let's leave him alone, let him be alone, let's talk about us, and give him a bowl of wine to eat later."

Everyone laughed again and said some gossip. Jia Lian asked Tanchun quietly, "Third sister, what were you talking about just now?"

Tan Chun said with a smile: "Second brother, the second aunt told Aunt Xue about the Dingcheng Marquis, Jintian Marquis, and the son of the uncle of Shoushan's family, and looked at Sister Bao to say kiss!"

Jia Lian's heart moved, "How did I hear that the eldest son of the Marquis of Dingcheng is married?"

Yingchun also whispered on the side: "The youngest son of the Hou family of Dingcheng is the second son of the Hou family of Jingtian"

"The nephew of Uncle Shoushan."

Xichun took Yingchun's hand and came over and said, "I heard that it's very unbearable!"

Yingchun clicked Xichun and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense too!"

Xichun pursed her lips and whispered, "This is what Sister Feng said."

Jia Lian chuckled and said, "Aunt Xue is afraid she won't agree."

Tan Chun glanced at Bao Chai next to Aunt Xue, "It's not... Sister Bao's character and talent should be matched."

Suddenly I felt that I was speechless, and looked at Jia Lian shyly, unable to speak. Aunt Xue over there just shook her head, "These guys can't do it, please ask my sister-in-law to find out."

Ye Shi sighed: "Sister-in-law, it's not that my sister-in-law is not attentive. The sister-in-law said something unpleasant, and with the Xue family's current rank, how can the family of the nobles, nobles, and nobles climb up the ranks. The origin of the family is real in Shenjing”

The unfinished words are self-evident. The Xue family is a royal businessman. Even if their ancestors received the rank of Ziwei Sheren as a reward from the Great Ancestor, it would not change their status. Aunt's scar and heart disease also made Baochai embarrassed. Fortunately, Xiluan obediently pulled Baochai and went to the other side to sit with Sanchun. Aunt Xue smiled when Baochai was gone, "I know, but Baochai is gone. This child is better than others, only because of her background. How can I, as a mother, not plan for her sister-in-law and try to find her.

Ye Shi's eyes lit up, "There is only one person, Lin Changbo recently died of his original spouse."

Sister Feng interjected at this time: "This Lin Changbo is not fifty years old, at least he is over forty. I'm afraid it is not suitable."

Aunt Xue also shook her head, "No, no!"

After speaking, I couldn't help but ask, "If it's the successor, is there anyone...younger?"

Sister Feng hesitated. Wang Zisheng's wife smiled and said, "How can I choose the right step-mover from a big family? I would like to marry the daughter of a small family. If the original spouse's children are good, that's all."

According to Aunt Xue's bad face, she hurriedly changed her tone and said: "I'm just talking nonsense. Baochai's appearance naturally doesn't say, my sister picks others, and they are also picking you, I hope you can't be in a hurry. Take it slow. Looked up."

Ye Shi also advised: "It can only be like this. If you are a concubine, I can tell you a good family."

Aunt Xue stared blankly at Mrs. Ye. Mrs. Ye hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm just joking, if that's the case, even I'm not allowed."
