123 Chapter 51

Here, Jia Baoyu and Jia Lian followed Jia Yu and Jia Zheng to send Lin Ruhai's father and daughter out, Jia Yu and Jia Lian went to their respective homes, and Jia Zheng and Baoyu returned to the house here. When Baoyu was about to retire, he saw Jia Zheng's eyes, and he was so frightened that his legs stiffened, and he didn't dare to move next to the door.

Jia Zheng shouted: "Evil beast, where did you die in the morning, and what did you do?

Baoyu knew that Jia Zheng guessed that Jia's mother was covering up for herself, and she didn't dare to deceive again, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she hesitated for a while, and was so anxious that her forehead was bruised and cold sweat was like pulp. Jia Zheng originally just reprimanded two sentences conventionally, shocked and frightened, seeing this shape, thinking of his usual stubbornness and indulgence, but instead of paying attention to hooking up his true anger, he stared at Baoyu with a pair of eyes, and his expression became more and more stern and gloomy. Baoyu knew Jia Zheng's thoughts, thinking that there were Lin Ruhai and Zhang Hui, Charter and other outsiders on this day, and his father was rarely kind and pleasant, but he had already let go of the morning, but at this moment, he suddenly made trouble again, and the description became more and more uncomfortable, and he was panicked in his heart, and he couldn't even control his body and tremble.

Seeing that Jia Zheng was about to burst out with anger in his chest, suddenly a word spread outside, saying that the old lady was in a hurry to pass on Baoyu to speak. Jia Zheng suddenly froze on the ground, helpless, and waved Baoyu to go. Baoyu only felt that he was in danger of dying and was amnesty, so he anointed the soles of his feet with oil and ran away in a hurry.

When I went to Jia's mother, I learned that it was the scholar Mingyan who saw that the situation was not good, and sent a message to the second door, Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng was suddenly angry, and she was afraid that she would be beaten, so she hurried to Jia's mother to ask for help, which was rescued in time. Mrs. Wang hugged Baoyu and said bitterly: "My son, when you saw those two of the Zhang family today, don't be careful as soon as possible, and go to your father, and don't be afraid to ask your book again!" Prepare the books and homework that you often read, and the Ming Dynasty will get up two quarters of an hour earlier than today, and you don't have to come to me or the old lady, so you can have breakfast in the room, eat and then review your homework. ”

Baoyu was so unhappy that he didn't dare to disobey, so he went back to his room sullenly. Seeing that the attacker, Qingwen, Musk Moon, Autumn Pattern, and Bijin were gathered around the table, chattering and laughing, Baoyu smiled and asked, "What kind of happy event?

Before the attacker could answer, Qingwen had already taken a few rings, earrings, and bracelets from a handkerchief bag to show him, and said with a smile: "This pearl pendant and agate ring are available, and the shrimp whisker bracelet is only available in our house." Miss Lin also gave me and the raiders a book of fresh drawings, and gave Musk Moon, Autumn Pattern, and Bi Zhen each a grate painted with boxwood. Zijuan also sent silk turbans, handkerchiefs, velvet thread, and silk flowers. It's all the freshest style that I've never seen in Kyori. There are also all kinds of dim sum and soil instruments in Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Changzhou, all piled up next to it, and we are discussing how to divide it. ”

Baoyu smiled: "No matter how you divide it, just like it." Then I got something and received the love, I can't bear her in vain, I have to remember to thank you another day. ”

Qingwen said: "Do you want to tell us, when we don't even know this etiquette." As he spoke, he took something and turned his head.

The attacker laughed: "This temper has not been changed." Then he asked Baoyu, "Why did you go out in the morning for so many hours? How is Xiao Qin Xianggong? The old lady and his wife passed us a few times to ask questions." Because I got up early, I ate breakfast early, and I even had a little cushion in the first half of the day. Qingwen was late for needlework last night, got up late, was called over before breakfast, and was hungry for a meal, and I still remember it. I said that the second master should not be angry with her. When you go out in the future, you can leave a message and come home on time, that is, you will remember the great kindness of us slaves and maids. ”

Only then did Baoyu understand why Qingwen gave herself a face again, and said, "This is not mine." Not again next time. So he told the attacker to investigate the place.

It turned out that this Qin Zhong was not only suffering from a cold and cold, but was actually secretly tied up with Zhizhi'er in Mantou Nunnery, and he was lost in the inspection at the beginning of his youth, and he suffered some losses fundamentally, and it was difficult to recuperate for a while. It took two days to get better, but the day before yesterday, Zhizhi escaped from Shuiyue Nunnery and entered the city to have a private meeting with Qin Zhong. Qin Bangye was so angry that his eyes were blue and his face was purple, and he ordered someone to tie up Qin Zhong and drag him to the courtyard to be a good beating. Qin Zhong was frightened, frightened, embarrassed and painful, and passed out with his breath held his breath at that time, bluffing the family into not being able to treat him - Zhizhi'er took advantage of the chaos to call Qin Zhong's scholar to rush to the firewood room to hide temporarily. I didn't want Qin Zhong to wake up in the middle of the night, faint again, and then have a high fever all over his body. Although Qin Bangye served in the camp department, he had the most nobles and wealthy in Beijing, and he had a small official position, and in the middle of the night, where could he get a good doctor? Seeing that a few of them were useless, Qin Bangye regretted it. He had also suffered from the wind and cold and had not yet recovered, but at this time he could not get up in one breath and collapsed. Qin Zhong's scholar came to Jia Baoyu for help.

However, Jia Baoyu, a son-in-law who doesn't care about foreign affairs, how can he know how to extend medical medicine? He also told Wang Xifeng at a loss, and Sister Feng allowed him to go out, and thought about giving him a favor, so he didn't say much to Baoyu, but only took a post from Rongfu to Baoyu's brother Li Gui, and told him to go to the Tai Hospital to ask someone to come and see him if something was wrong. Sure enough, the imperial doctor's methods are extraordinary, and when he went to Qin's house, he gave Qin Bangye a few injections, and when he regained his breath, the situation stabilized; Qin Zhong quietly told Baoyu the truth, and repeatedly told him, begging him to settle Zhi'er for the time being, and then deal with it when he is sick in this compartment.

Baoyu and Qin Zhong have always been the best, and they have long known that he is in love with Zhizhi'er, and he has done good things since Shuiyue'an, which is more and more intriguing and inseparable: otherwise, how can Zhizhi'er escape. Baoyu felt that the two of them were affectionate, and sighed that the two of them were difficult to achieve, and they had the heart to help Yucheng. However, if you don't know the common business, you can still only entrust things to Li Gui.

This Li Gui is the son of Baoyu's grandmother, Mama Li, who has been with Baoyu since he was a child, inheriting many benefits from him, but also suffering a lot. Whenever he had the heart to admonish, Baoyu promised to do so, and did not change at all; and at every turn, whimsical and strange ideas were delivered to him, teaching him to scratch his ears and cheeks and make it difficult in every way. Not to mention that the wisdom is not someone else, following her master, the old nun of Mantou Nunnery, walking around in the Rong Mansion since she was a child, and no one in the mansion knows it; if something is revealed, the trouble will come out, and a few times you will tear it up, and I am afraid that the whole body will not be able to speak clearly. Even if Jingxu admits and doesn't ask, the matter involves Baoyu, how can the master in the Rong Mansion let it go? On the side, he is a real worker, and he is casually charged with abducting and selling nuns and seducing his master, and he will not be skinned and bruised, and he will die without a burial? Thinking of this, where is Li Gui willing to respond to Baoyu's words. was so anxious that Baoyu bowed and bowed, and even Qin Zhong leaned on the edge of the bed to plead.

Li Gui had no choice but to ask if there was a house to rent nearby. Just a family has tenants who quit the rent and don't rent, and vacated a small courtyard with a single room, which is fully furnished. Li Gui paid for the rent and let Zhizhi'er live there, and Qin Zhong sent a ten-year-old rough girl over to do some rough work, and also accompany him on weekdays. Baoyu went to check it out in person, but it was too crude and insufficient, so she had to take care of the smart man. Zhizhi knelt down and said: "Fortunately, out of the fire pit, Qin Xianggong is willing to treat me like this, and the second master is so righteous to help." My life was given by Qin Xianggong and the second master, and I will be repaid as a cow and a horse in this life and the next life. Now this is already excellent, and I dare not ask for anything else. ”

Li Gui also advised Baoyu: "Ordinary people, but that's it." Zhang Luo is too much, but he hits people's eyes, not quietly. He also told Zhizhi: "You live in peace, don't think about it again." One is to wait for Qin Xianggong to get better, and the other is that you also have to raise your hair before you can make up your mind and arrange for disposal. "Wisdom repeatedly thanks. Baoyu said some comforting words again, and asked her to look at the air to comfort Qin Zhong, which made Li Gui urge to turn around.

And on the way back to Rongfu, Baoyu was still thinking about smart things, lest Jingxu perceive his whereabouts, come to the door to ask for it, and even report to the official to arrest him. Li Gui said: "Brother don't have to worry about this anymore. The loss of the apprentices in her nunnery is her fault for not checking and not being strict with the door. If it is said that it is someone who deliberately teases her, who doesn't know that Qin Xianggong has always been ill, and he has never even left the courtyard gate, so where did he go outside the city? And this kind of thing, the apprentice she raised, did not abide by the rules, but colluded with the study Xianggong, she was an old and refined person who looked at it but did not prohibit it, obviously it was intentionally done. really wanted to report to the official, but the Qin family could ask her a crime of ill-intentioned and blackmail. So it will not be the first to make trouble. Wait for Qin Xianggong to get better, but spend two dollars to redeem Zhi'er's body, and then give the old bald a few taels of silver, and buy a little nun to recite scriptures and serve. ”

Here, Jia Baoyu told the attacker about Qin Zhong and Zhizhi in detail, and the attacker immediately understood: After such a toss and change, Baoyu was delayed, and he couldn't get out for a while, and it was naturally too late to return home. The attacker also sighed in his heart that Qin Zhongzhi had two friendships, and said: "Xiao Qin Xianggong is like this, and it is not in vain to be able to live in this life." However, he said Baoyu: "Although Qin Xianggong's affairs are important, you don't have to watch it yourself." It's just a matter of telling the following to do it. It's Aunt Lin and Miss Lin here. If you don't follow the lord to greet you, what will happen to the lord's face? What about the wife? And Miss Lin. Other things are still small, she has been gone for more than half a year, and now that she is back, the second master knows the time, but she ran out and did not greet her. Although I didn't say anything or make trouble in front of people today, where can I not mind and not be annoyed in my heart?"

Baoyu smiled and said, "Miss Lin will definitely not be annoyed if she wants to know the reason." ”

The attacker was helpless, and he also knew that persuasion was useless, so he only changed his words and said, "Mrs. instructed to prepare the second master's homework." It must have been the old man who saw Aunt Lin and remembered about studying and going to school. Seeing that Baoyu's face changed greatly when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Today, Aunt Lin is here, and everyone in the whole mansion who has a little face will not look for the reason for the words to take a look." You didn't leave a word and went out, we didn't dare to move in the house, and we didn't have time to see. ”

Baoyu said: "Speaking of which, it is also the first time I have seen Uncle Lin. As the old saying goes, 'Where there is a father, there is a daughter,' and the reverse is true. When I saw Sister Lin, I knew how good Uncle Lin was. is only a character like Uncle Lin, who gave birth to Sister Lin. He nodded again and again.

Seeing him like this, the attacker had some magic again, and hurriedly said, "I heard that my aunt also brought two nephews over there." I heard that when my aunt and Miss Lin were in Changzhou, they lived in their house. ”

Baoyu nodded again and again and sighed: "Sure enough, 'things gather by like, and people are divided by groups', Uncle Lin's relatives, like Uncle Lin, are all extremely elegant and handsome people." ”

The attacker said with a smile: "I heard that the two Zhang Xianggongs are both studying and studying, and they have already made a name for themselves. ”

Baoyu said: "You don't know, although he reads, he is not such a vulgar and rotten Confucian beetle, but a real literary style, and he is not bound by vulgarity." Then he took out a few sentences of reply with the chapter and the charter, and said to the attacker, and there was a great sense of seeing each other and hating each other.

This attacker knows some news: Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Wang Xifeng all have verbal instructions, and everyone who is close to them is more or less aware, not to mention that Lin Ruhai deliberately took Zhang back to meet Mother Jia this time, which is more and more certain, and the mansion only hides one Baoyu. Thinking of Baoyu's heart, I don't know the bottom line, the first time I saw Zhang Hui happily surrendered, if he didn't pay attention to what he said later, or knew about the marriage of Zhang Lin's two families from someone else, I was afraid that it would be useless for both times; So he said a few words casually, and urged Baoyu to settle early. The attacker himself lay down outside, but he tossed and turned, his mind was full of knots, and he only fell asleep in a daze for nearly four watches.

After a while, I felt that it was time to get up again. The attacker held his eyes, put a hot cloth on his face to wake up a little, and came over to serve Baoyu to get up. Next to him, Musk Yue and the others couldn't help asking: "Sister didn't sleep well?"

Mrs. Cha came to the room to spread the word and asked a person from this side to come over. The attacker hurriedly instructed the little maids to serve attentively, and went to the room by themselves. As a result, Mrs. Wang asked the kitchen to make dim sum and crisp cheese, and there were several kinds of tea soup to awaken and help thoughts, all of which were made for Baoyu. Seeing the attacker coming, Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, nodded and said, "I was thinking about passing the word and saying a word, I should ask for a governor to come." Since you're here, it's all right. So he pointed to the tea soup and told him what to use, when it was suitable to eat, and what kind of dim sum to go with. said: "Young people are full of yang energy, and they can't use ginseng easily." Baoyu is weak and impatient to take medicine, but reading is the hardest, so she specially asked her aunt to find out the recipe from the advance, and she didn't know if it was to taste. You pay attention to send him to eat, see which one is used, and then tell me. "The attack is yes. Mrs. Wang ordered the little maid to follow the attacker with snacks and the like.

However, it was said that Jia Baoyu was originally most disgusted with the four books and eight shares and the like, and the previous major events such as the Yuanchun concubine and the construction of the provincial family courtyard at home, Jia Zheng did not come to ask him to read, and he had been indulged freely for dozens of days. Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng was suddenly annoyed yesterday, and he was so frightened that he had no master for a while, and Mrs. Wang hurriedly told him to read, Baoyu was really worried in his heart, although he packed up his books and homework according to his mother's orders, and used dim sum soup and tea to serve him, and he couldn't read a word in the end for most of the day. Just when she couldn't sit still, Qingwen waited in and said, "Miss Shi is here." Xide Baoyu jumped up and swept towards Jia's mother's room like a gust of wind - but Jia's mother specially sent someone to pick up Shi Xiangyun early in the morning, and she only arrived at this time.

Baoyu entered the room and saw Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Li Gongci and all the sisters there. Above, Jia Muzheng told Xiangyun: "Your sister Lin is back." Although this will be in her own house, she will come here in two days. I was in a hurry to ask you yesterday. You can stay a few more days. ”

Xiangyun said: "I'm thinking about her too." When he looked up and saw Baoyu, he greeted with a smile: "I didn't see you first, I thought Brother Bao wasn't at home." ”

At one moment, Mandarin Duck and Amber took Daiyu's things for Xiangyun and came out. Xiangyun saw that there were a lot of things, and the two of them were a little overwhelmed, and they couldn't help but ask: "There are so many?" Sister Lin is really generous. Then he called to the sisters, "Do you have all of them?" Let's take a look in the room, and take whatever you like." ”

While talking, he walked to the next room - it turned out that this Xiangyun often went to the Rong Mansion, and usually rested in the Daiyu room. At this time, Daiyu lived in her own house, and the original house was still neat, and Xiangyun still lived here.

Yingchun and the others smiled: "Aren't they all there?" This is what Sister Lin specially gave you. How can we take it again?" and they all followed her. Baoyu also followed the past.

Mother Jia saw it above, and only said to Aunt Xue: "The two of them have been close since childhood, and they are not as good as others." Now they're getting older, and they're still the same as when they were young. ”

Aunt Xue smiled, and just as she answered, Mrs. Wang suddenly remembered that she had something to say to her sister, and sued Jia Mu and pulled her out. Let's leave it at that, and don't mention it.

Another day, Lin Zhixiao's family came in and said, "The Wenzhao Gongzhang family sent someone to send a gift to ask for peace." Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and others were all sitting in the main room, and Wang Xifeng stood in front of them, and they couldn't help but be taken aback, and they all speculated about their intentions. As a result, the post and the gift list came up, Jia Mu took a closer look, and couldn't help laughing for a while, and said: "This old thing, I haven't seen it for decades, but I forgot that there is this layer." took the post to show everyone, and said: "It is indeed Aunt Lin's uncle and aunt's house." It's just that this aunt's wife, who was originally from the Marquis of Jingchang's family, was still my best friend in the boudoir back then, and since she married to the south, I haven't seen each other for more than 40 years. When I returned to Beijing and returned to the province this time, I had Aunt Lin's important relative, so I made a special appointment to meet. β€”β€”It's Zhang Li's wife, the second wife of the Zhang family, Chen. At one moment, he ordered to bring the male and female stewards of Yu'an in, greeted and narrated, and said that the Chen family and their sons and nephews would come to the door in two days.

As for the situation of the Chen family and the other Zhirong Mansion, how they met Jia's mother, and look at the next decomposition.

Catch a bug

------

Qin Zhong is a character that I feel sincerely embarrassed. The so-called charming and charming, shy and supple, a farce in the school may have strengthened Qin Keqing's urging whistle, and Shuiyue Nunnery was charming, in a sense, it really broke off the love of sister and brother. And Cao Gong's pen is suspicious, Qin Zhong and Zhizhi'er, success but do not know the result, and Jia Baoyu, it is not clear whether there is any involvement. But in that mess, Jia Baoyu, Qin Zhong, and Liu Xianglian are fellow believers - there are many things, and they shouldn't be speculated with a dirty heart.

In the original book, Qin Jingqing's dying paragraph is cold and spicy, and he is extremely satirical, deafening. The ending is rewritten in this way in the scenery, and it must be far inferior to Cao Gong in terms of insight and artistic conception, but after all, it is pitiful for him, and it also gives the intelligent child who has accumulated all the courage to escape from the fire pit a probably passable result.
