Chapter 235
Mrs. Wang had a stroke, and Jia's mother discussed with Jia Zheng to marry Baoyu Chongxi. Fortunately, Jia's mother had already told Li Su that she was going to prepare for Baoyu's wedding this year, and all kinds of things in the house were ready, so she hurriedly cleaned up a small courtyard as a wedding room. The Shi family has already prepared Shi Xiangyun's dowry and other things. Another envoy of King Lu had already entered Beijing, and when he heard about Jia Baoyu's literary name, he temporarily added a lot of things. Rong Guofu was shocked when he got the dowry list.
According to the three media and six certificates, I hurriedly passed it, and picked the latest auspicious day in the book, and Shi Xiangyun was going to marry on the fifth day after Mrs. Wang had a stroke.
The day before the wedding, Jia Huan walked to see Baoyu, and saw that he was still in a mess, so he ordered Musk Yue to go out, sat opposite him and said, "Second brother, I can't understand why a trivial matter can make my wife angry to death." ”
Baoyu suddenly raised her head.
Jia Huan said: "Today, there are Japanese robbers who have destroyed my city, slaughtered my people, and plundered my territory. I poured the strength of the battalion into the naval army and captured a few alive, and I was about to behead them in the street to shock the prestige of the army and calm the people's hearts. A group of people who escaped under their swords, and who had children, grandchildren, wives and daughters died at their hands, cursed with tears in their eyes, and waited at the entrance of the vegetable market with sacrificial texts in their hands to cut off the enemy. Suddenly, a scholar rushed into the crowd and cried to the prison officer: "My lord, these widows are also very miserable, their hometown is barren and has no food to satisfy hunger, so they have no choice but to come to our court to kill people. ”
Baoyu was still a little inexplicable and a little indignant in front of him, and finally knew what he meant, shook his head and said: "Where is Jin Chu'er compared to the Japanese Kou!" ”
Jia Huan said: "The hatred between Jin Chu'er and his wife is deep, just like the hatred of the country and the family. There are only two things in the whole world. You, sir. Jin Chu'er took away the master and wanted to kill you, which is to destroy her. The second brother just thinks about how it felt when Huo Xuan almost killed the eldest sister, and what it was like to find the five ghosts from under your bed. ”
Baoyu was silent. After a long time, he muttered: "Attempted murder is not considered murder." ”
Jia Huan said: "The little girl who was tired by her and lost her life is ten years old, does this count as she killed someone?" ”
Baoyu was stunned. finally gritted his teeth: "Count!" He let out a sigh of relief.
Jia Huan twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's good that you understand." Sister Yun's surname is Shi, and this alone is enough to offend his wife. This time, she hurriedly married in Chongxi and suffered a lot of grievances, and in the future, his wife will inevitably try to temper her to vent her anger, and I hope that the second brother will take care of it for the sake of growing up. ”
Baoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "How is it good!" ”
Jia Huan rolled his eyes: "Please, is it difficult for your mother to deal with my mother?" My mother gave me and my sister a headache when I was a child. There is also a master, who never helps out and pulls back his legs. In the past few days, you have become famous outside, and he has started to stir up trouble all over the capital again, isn't it the beginning and end of my cleanup? You only have to deal with my wife, I'm going to work harder than you! How comfortable you were in your early years, don't you want to pay it back? He didn't look at him again, got up and left.
Baoyu watched his back disappear in a daze, and was stunned for a long time. recalled that Mrs. Wang had all kinds of things from the beginning to the present, treating herself like a Buddha and treating others like a ghost; Jin Chu'er Yu Chu'er used to be so bright and lovely, but now one is waiting to die and the other is dead; In the eyes of Mother Jia, there are only herself and the master, and the eldest wife and the second wife are dispensable, how ruthless! Sure enough, the girl is not married, and she is a priceless jewel; got married, somehow there were a lot of bad problems, although it was a bead, but it was not a glorious jewel, it was a dead pearl; No matter how old it is, it becomes not a bead, but a fish eye. Thinking of this, I had mixed feelings, and I picked up my pen and wrote an article, called "Pearl Fish Eyes". Write and throw the pen on the case, and fall asleep.
Jia Cong had already instructed Musk Yue that Baoyu's desk should not be less white paper and black ink, and when he wrote a lot of words, come to the newspaper quickly. Musk Yue caught a glimpse outside, and sure enough, she ran to Lixiangyuan to return to Jia Cong. Jia Cong was overjoyed, rushed over to their house with a smoke, picked up the article and looked at it, and exclaimed: "Okay! Confused and literate still has a lot of truth, and it will definitely be able to resonate a lot! That's great! He looked back at Musk Yue and said, "Good students serve your second master, and they have a great future!" He immediately rewarded her with ten taels of silver. Musk Yue was overjoyed, agreed repeatedly, knelt down and kowtowed to thank you. Jia Cong then copied the article on someone's desk and ran away.
The next day was the wedding of Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun. Although he acted in a hurry, there were many people who added makeup to his face. The banquet was well organized, and the guests all secretly gave a thumbs up: where it seemed to be a temporary rush! Li Kun, a widow who is as plain as a dead ash of a tree, shines this time. Because all the kings have arrived in Beijing, Baoyu has become famous again, and a messenger from a courtyard has come, Jia Zhengle is so happy that his beard is puffed up, and the banquet is full of promises and promises. Someone listened and quietly reminded Jia Huan, Jia Huan smirked and said, "It's good that his old man is having fun." The man laughed in his heart and quietly spread the word. When others heard it, they knew that Jia Zheng said it in front of Jia Huan, and he added oil and vinegar to pass it on again.
For a while, Jia Huan left the table and walked around, and a little girl slipped over and secretly said to him: "Third master, Aunt Bai wants to ask the third master to meet." ”
Jia Huan was stunned: "Who?" ”
The girl lowered her head and said, "White ...... Aunt Bai. ”
"What is she looking for me?"
The girl said: "Aunt Bai said that there is something to the third master." ”
Jia Huan said: "I don't know her well, and I'm not interested in helping her." "Pull away and go.
The girl grabbed the placket of his clothes: "Aunt Bai wants to ask the third master to give the child in her belly to Aunt Zhou to raise." ”
Jia Huan knew that Aunt Zhou was closer to him, and if the child was raised by Aunt Zhou, he would definitely take care of it more. After thinking about it, he said: "Even if she doesn't say it, eighty percent of that child is also raised by Aunt Zhou." ”
The girl said, "If it's a girl, it's okay." If it is a young master, I am afraid that the old lady will order Aunt Xu to raise it. Aunt Xu can't guarantee that she can raise a child in the future, so she will not be good for this child. It's not as good as Aunt Zhou......"
Jia Huan waved his hand and said, "We all know what she knows." Besides, this matter is quite important, and I am more than the old lady in our house. But he left her alone, and stepped back to his seat. The little girl stood and chanted the Buddha.
Looking up and seeing that Jia Zheng was bragging to someone, Jia Huan hurriedly walked over and respectfully asked him to come aside and give him back. Jia Zheng suddenly poured a basin of cold water on his head, and his joy was wiped out. sighed and said, "What do you see? ”
Jia Huan said: "My son also thinks that Aunt Bai is reasonable. Aunt Xu is young, not to mention whether she will take care of the children, she will probably be able to have children herself in the future. If you have a relative, it will be difficult for you to give birth to a child if you are not close. ”
Jia Zheng stroked his beard and said: "Aunt Xu is a good person, and she was also good friends with Aunt Bai in the past, so she will not be biased." ”
Jia Huan lowered his head and said: "The eldest sister treats Brother Baoyu better than me, and the third sister treats me better than Brother Baoyu." ”
Jia Zheng choked, and immediately remembered that Mrs. Wang had bullied her concubine, and couldn't help but be full of anger. If it weren't for the fact that she was still lying on the kang and couldn't move, she wouldn't have gone to Xingshi to ask for guilt. and remembered that Jin Chu'er was so delicate and touching in the past, so he sighed again: "That's it, just rely on her." ”
The excitement dissipated, and no one knew what was going on in the newcomer's cave room.
The next day, the bride went to the church to worship her aunt, but Mrs. Wang had already woken up but could not speak, so she was only bowed by the two of them on the kang. Baoyu and Xiangyun both clearly saw that she was resentful.
Chong Xi was really effective, and the left half of Mrs. Wang's body gradually moved a little, and she could also say a few words. Jia Cong sneered: "Now all the people who serve her are maids. She was looking forward to being able to speak, and she was so good that Sister Yun, Sister-in-law Zhu, and Aunt Zhou served her. ”
Rise. Because he has nothing to do recently, he is quite idle, so he found an excuse to say to Baoyu after hearing this. Baoyu frowned and asked, "Is there a way for my sister?" ”
Rise. "No." The mother-in-law wants to learn from her daughter-in-law, and the eldest woman wants to learn from her concubine, all of which are natural. Unless Bao Er Ye thinks of himself. Or let her grind and treasure the second grandmother for a few days, and come back to pretend to be sick. ”
The two of them were newly married, and he was reluctant to let Mrs. Wang torture his daughter-in-law, so he left with a sad face.
On the other hand, I don't know how Zhong Wei and Situ Pan discussed, Situ Pan actually agreed to lead him to Ezhou with three old friends to open a teahouse. Feng Ziying came to sue Jia Cong and asked him to guess.
Jia Cong didn't raise his head and said: "I'm too lazy to guess, it's just to help him fight in the future." The country of Hubei is small and far away, and the king of Hubei has no ability, so it is not even cost-effective to collect intelligence. By the way, Zhong Wei owes me a favor? ”
Feng Ziying glared at him: "Although the country of Hubei is small, it is surrounded by heroes on all sides, is it extremely important?" What's wrong with Zhong Wei owing you favors? ”
Jia Cong said: "Can their teahouse sell dim sum?" I don't have to pay for snacks in the future. Why don't he write me a 'free sign'? ”
"Is your family still lacking?"
Jia Cong grinned and said, "Don't you understand!" The sweetest snacks are the ones that don't cost money. Look, I like to eat dim sum every time I go to your house, but I eat less when I go home. ”
Feng Ziying laughed and laughed.
He turned around and told Situ Pan about it as a joke, and Situ Pan smiled: "In this case, let Zhong Wei write him a sign." What's going on? ”
Feng Ziying said: "How do I know? That kid is quirky. ”
Situ Pan ordered Zhong Weiming'er to go to their house and write to him in person.
Zhong Wei said when he heard this: "At the end of the argument, the general really owes Jia Sanye a favor, and he should thank him in person." "In my heart, I only think that Gan Lei has something to look for him, and let Jia Cong pass the word.
The next day, Zhong Wei came to Lixiangyuan alone. A little guy heard that it was "General Zhong" and said: "The third master said, if General Zhong comes, just go in." Zhong Wei hurriedly tied his horse and walked inside.
I saw a large wooden shelf in the courtyard, on which hung a sea chart, and a group of teenagers were pointing around the sea chart, and Chen was among them. Jia Cong saw him coming at a glance, and hurriedly said, "Oh, you're here!" If you don't come to the West Wing, your neck will cramp! Then he stretched out his hand and pointed, "Oh, that's it, go by yourself." ”
Zhong Wei had already prepared a large number of thank-you words and questions, and just after he picked up his fist, he split his head with these few words, and was stunned. Look at Jia Cong again, from burying his head in that group of teenagers. He immediately thought that the West Wing must be Gan Lei or the Emperor next to him.
Chen withdrew from the crowd, greeted him with a blessing, and said with tears in his eyes: "Is the general good? ”
Zhong Wei sighed: "It's great that the death row prisoners under the stairs can come out. ”
Chen said: "Now I am pretending to be a maid here, and the general calls me. The point is. ”
Zhong Wei nodded, and then pointed to the West Wing, "But General Gan is waiting?" ”
Rise. "No." The man was a bandit, who had been living there for seven or eight days, and was very sultry and unpleasant. There are many shops under the big house of Rongguo Mansion to sell stolen goods for people, and they are a huge source. The third master didn't tell me his name and surname. The man asked the third master a few days ago what he was doing, sneaking around, and calling him in a hurry, but the third master only said that he would live well, and he would naturally know in a few days. Yesterday afternoon, the third master went to his house, and he didn't know what to say to him, but for more than half an hour, he came out of the west wing with his arms behind his back with a smile. After another quarter of an hour, the man stumbled out of it, and kowtowed to the third master three times with tears, and the green bricks were shattered! The third master waved his hand and said, isn't this a coincidence? Why are you mobilizing the people? So he went back to the house. The man looked at his back and kowtowed three more. ”
Zhong Wei's heart jumped inexplicably: "How old is that person?" What does it look like? ”
Rise. He said: "It is obvious that he is a man in the green forest, dark and strong, about the same age as the general, about younger." Usually they are all bearded, and I heard that I don't know why I shaved my beard this morning. I went out early in the morning and didn't look at it; The brothers said it looked a lot better. ”
Zhong Wei's inexplicable heart palpitations immediately dissipated, and he was immediately stunned, and said: "Bao Buqi is the thief who their family invited to rob the prison that day." ”
Rise. "I asked about this, and he said no." ”
Zhong Wei nodded, turned around and walked towards the west wing. Because he raised his hand and knocked on the door, he heard a few hurried footsteps, and the door suddenly opened. I saw a person standing inside, wearing an ordinary green cloth shirt and a headscarf wrapped around his head. Rao is that he has long been tanned, and Zhong Wei recognized it at a glance - it was his nephew Zhong Heng, who had not seen him for more than ten years. Before he could speak, tears fell down. Zhong Heng knelt on his knees at the door and kowtowed vigorously.
Zhong Wei shook his head for a moment, and Fang stepped into the door and bent down to help him. Zhong Heng refused to get up, so he couldn't help kowtowing. Zhong Wei forcibly grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him up. The two looked at each other for a while, supported each other and walked inside, hugging their heads and crying.
Rise. Dian Yixin was worried about the West Wing, and when he heard the crying from there, he wanted to go and see it.
Jia Cong grabbed her: "What are you doing!" Don't bother people. ”
Rise. Dian asked, "Who is that Mountain King?" What are they crying for? ”
Jia Cong glanced at her and said: "People have been ruined for more than ten years, and for the rest of their lives, the only relatives of each other will not make people cry when they meet each other!" ”
"What?!" Rise. Surprised, he pointed to the West Wing, "That...... Who is the king...... Yulangjun Zhong Heng? How is it so old! Looks about the same age as General Zhong. ”
Jia Cong sighed: "A person who has stumbled into the rivers and lakes for more than ten years to survive, can he not be old." The bowl of rice in the green forest is not so delicious, and this guy may not have suffered much. He glanced at the other side again, "I asked you to buy sixty novice handkerchiefs this morning, just for the two of them." This time I will see, I don't know if sixty is enough. ”
Rise. A moment of surprise, he complained: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”
Jia Cong heheheed twice: "Everyone guessed it, but you can't guess it, blame me?" ”
