It is said that Lin Hai sent Jia Baoyu back to the house, which had already alarmed Jia's mother and hurriedly took it in. When he heard that he dared to run out with a cigarette alone, he was so frightened that he hugged him in his arms and rubbed it, and scolded him again, "Don't run around alone." Thinking that Mingyan dared to lead the little master to break in like this, he ordered someone to drag him down, "beat him with ten sticks at the West Corner Gate, and see if he still has a long memory." ”

Baoyu hurriedly pleaded: "It has nothing to do with him, I really want Sister Lin, and scolded him to let him go with me, he refused to live or die, and the ancestor did not wronged him." I said I was going to protect him. ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she said, "Even if it is what you mean, he must know what to listen to and what not to hear." "Because of the exemption of the stick, only three months' monthly money. She naturally knew that Baoyu's reward for Mingyan was indispensable, but it was just a meaning. Then he asked Baoyu what happened today.

Although Baoyu couldn't understand Lin Hai's meaning all the way, he was still obedient, and he honestly said everything he said. He said again: "Sister Lin is sick, and the ancestor quickly invited the imperial doctor for her." ”

Jia Mu immediately understood that this was an excuse for him to be frivolous today and Lin Hai to make. Bi Baoyu is still a child, and he has never heard of this innocently, and he doesn't know how to say it to him for a while. After a long day, he finally sighed: "When I was a child, I was talking about Mo Riri. ”

Baoyu didn't know why, but she was worried that Daiyu was sick, and begged her to ask for a doctor. Mother Jia then pretended to call the mandarin duck to ask the imperial doctor to go to Miss Lin. How smart the mandarin duck was, he answered in his mouth, went outside and gave a few false orders, and then came back and coaxed: "It's already invited." "Baoyu is just that.

On the other hand, Lin Hai didn't ask his daughter about Jia Baoyu because he didn't think of him a few days ago; Now Fang carefully asked again about the past two years. When he heard that he was running to the girl's yard every day, he shook his head again and again: "Now that you and the girls are getting older, don't let him enter your house at will." ”

Daiyu is still young, and no one has told her this, so she can't help but be stunned.

Lin Hai sighed, and became more and more aware that his mother-in-law was sincere and deliberate. Because he has not had the heart to marry another house over the years, and has a lot of official duties, his daughter has no one to raise him. Besides, except for this son, they are doing well in their house. After thinking about it for a long time, although the second uncle had studied for a few more years, he had no power to disobey his mother-in-law. Hearing Daiyu say that he often wants to discipline this Baoyu, but before he can speak, he asks Jia's mother to either stop or take people away, which shows that he can't even discipline his son; It's Huan'er's who doesn't fall into the eyes of her mother-in-law, and she knows how to be motivated at a young age, which is really good. Therefore, Jia Zheng can't count on it. Only the eldest brother Jia Yu, although he is rough, is a reliable and capable master, and he is very good to his daughter. He wrote a letter of resignation, detailing "I hope to restrain my nephew."

What he wrote was too vague, and Jia Yu didn't understand it, but fortunately, now he has Gong Sanyi by his side.

Gong Sanyi looked at it and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Lord Lin can't trust Lingtang, but he can trust you." So I explained it to him in detail.

Jia Yu immediately patted his chest, glared again, and said: "The literati speak in a roundabout way, saying that you are going to be rude to my daughter when you look at Jia Baoyu for me?" Cong'er is still good at learning martial arts in the future, don't provoke that sourness. ”

Gong San also shook his head, then stood in front of the case and dictated, Jia Yu personally wrote back: Thank you brother-in-law for reminding me, I suddenly didn't realize that time had passed, my daughter, nephew, nephew and daughter were all older, and in the future, I would make some sturdy mothers-in-law guard the yard, and no longer let older men wander into the clouds at random - the little thing in his house was young, so naturally he was not among them.

Lin Hai thought that if Jia couldn't pardon his mother-in-law, he would bring some people to guard the door for his daughter - just a little rude. When I saw this letter, I was much more secure. Because this letter was Gong Sanyi's meaning, the writing was extremely elegant and played many dumb riddles, and Lin Hai mistakenly thought that Jia Yu actually had a lot of books in his belly, and he was amazed.

For a while, Jia's mother sent two talking women to see her, only saying, "Baoyu is young and ignorant, and she doesn't expect to have such a faux pas, she has been doted on by her wife and son in the past, and she will teach Yunyun in the future." Where does Lin Hai still count on her? Only deal with the past. Jia Mu thought it was okay and put her mind at ease.

Lin Hai still felt a little inappropriate in his heart, and after two days of auspicious three treasures to study, thinking that Jia Cong was a little daring like his old man, but he was not very reckless, so he quietly told him: "Although you are young, you are quite knowledgeable, and your Baoyu brother is like a child." You can watch over your sister for me. ”

Jia Cong was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "I have long seen that Brother Baoyu is too simple, not even as good as Lan'er." After getting my uncle's words, my uncle can rest assured! One day, I will protect my husband and never let her be abruptly surprised. He sighed again, "Brother Baoyu is extremely pure and kind-hearted, but the ancestors are used to it, and he is still like a baby when he is so old, I think he is a little pitiful." ”

Lin Hai also shook his head: "Her old man only knows how to spoil blindly, but it is not half beneficial to the child, and I am afraid that she will be hurt in the future." "It was because I saw that the three of them were extremely reliable, so I was willing to let Daiyu go back to Nafu again. Now that Cong'er was a little disdainful in her words, she thought that she was only afraid that Jia Baoyu would be an outlier in their family, so she was relieved.

From November to the lunar month of that year, a group of green forest guests successively emptied the outer houses of many wealthy slaves in the capital, but they also left marks on the wall, painting a hat with a peculiar feather, and signed the name under it: Robin Hood. Because they only plundered the slaves and did not move others, although the government responded with it, it did not seriously investigate and deal with it.

On this day, even Lai's family was robbed, and Lai's mother came to the house to find Jia's mother and cried, Jia's mother was shocked, because she called someone to ask Jia for pardon.

Jia Yu was sitting in the room waiting, and when he heard the report, he only said, "Change your clothes and go", and said to Jia Lian: "Can you settle that head properly?" ”

Jia Lian said proudly: "Don't worry, master. ”

Jia Yu then changed his clothes, coughed and went to Jia's mother.

When Jia Mu saw him come in, she hurriedly said: "Your mother's house has been robbed, hurry up and send the post from our house to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so that those who are idle and eat imperial food can quickly arrest the bandits!" ”

Jia Yu asked in surprise: "Was Lai's mother's family also robbed?" But the Arhat soldier who is rumored in Beijing now? ”

Lai's mother wiped her tears and said, "Robin Hood." ”

Jia Yu said: "I heard that this person specializes in robbing the minions of big families with heads and faces, but it seems that he hasn't lost much of anything, and he is too lazy to come to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." "How dare they say how much they have lost? Once the master's family knows about this, if they can't get it back, they won't say anything, and I'm afraid that even their lives will be lost.

Jia Mu said: "How can ordinary minions compare with their family? There are not a few of my wife and son. ”

Jia Yu sneered in his heart, I am afraid that there are not a few people who are greedy from our family accounts alone. Because he said casually: "It seems that many of our subordinates have been robbed, and there are few who have not been robbed." ”

Mrs. Wang will naturally accompany her at this time. She was stupid and not good at comforting, so she just sits. After hearing Jia Yu's words, he carefully calculated in his heart, now the private property of the wealthy slaves of Rongguo Mansion has been looted by the thieves, and even the Lai family cannot be avoided, as if only Zhou Rui's family is safe and sound?

She was suspicious that Jia Yu had already slapped Jia's mother on the chest, and immediately called someone to bring the post over. Because he couldn't help but laugh and returned to his outer study, he made a post that was written "Rongguo Mansion Taijun Shi" and took it.

After dinner that day, Zhou Rui's family cautiously moved to Mrs. Wang's house. Her face was a little weird, and she whispered, "Madam, I have a ...... I want to go back to my wife. ”

Although Mrs. Wang is suspicious of her, the unlucky ones are all subordinates, but they have nothing to do with her. He hurriedly threw the crowd out and asked, "What's the matter?" I don't look like you're looking good. ”

Zhou Ruijia hesitated: "Yes...... That Liu Gonggong...... Passed me a message. ”

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed: "Really? What did he say? ”

Zhou Rui's family was a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Wang urged again, so she had to say, "Sage...... Concubine Tuo Hui brought a message to our family. ”

Mrs. Wang immediately felt that something was wrong. Sage Tuo Huifei, how can there be such a method, and looking at Zhou Rui's cowering appearance, he knew that it was not a good word, and he couldn't help but turn over the river and sea in his heart, and his voice trembled: "What words?" Could it be ...... Is the eldest girl bad in the palace? ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly said: "That's not it. ”

Mrs. Wang put her mind at ease again and said, "It's good that the eldest girl has an accident, say anything quickly!" ”

Zhou Rui's family lowered his head: "The day before yesterday, Concubine Hui said good things for the eldest girl of our family in front of the saint, praising her for her talent, appearance, and virtuousness. But the saint understood, and said, "......"

Mrs. Wang was anxious: "What are you doing with the scorpion sting!" Say it! ”

Zhou Rui's family said in a stubborn manner: "Our house still owes 800,000 taels of silver to the treasury, and now the treasury is empty, and the saint is short of money. If he can return it, he will make our eldest girl a concubine! If you pay it back, you will be crowned a concubine soon! If you don't pay it back, let it ...... Let ......"

Mrs. Wang asked in a trembling voice, "Let what?" ”

"Let our big girl die in the palace!"

Mrs. Wang's eyes were dark, and she fainted.

Zhou Rui's family was only standing beside her, not daring to say a word, or even to support her.

After a while, Mrs. Wang cried in a trembling voice: "Where is there such a saint! ”

Zhou Rui's family "shh ”

Mrs. Wang "brushed" and stood up: "I'm going to beg the old lady!" There is so much silver in the big storehouse, it is better to use it to change the future of the eldest girl. ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly stopped in front and persuaded her: "Madam, don't say it's late today, because the Lai family has been robbed, and the old lady is not very happy." ”

Mrs. Wang thought about it and sat back on the kang in a hurry. Suddenly, her eyebrows moved: "Now that I have heard everywhere that someone has been robbed, your family is still safe, right?" ”

Zhou Ruijia bowed his head and said: "Thanks to Mrs. Bao, I want to come to our house with nothing valuable, and people look down on it." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled: "That's it, if your family is not a rich man, there will be no rich man in our house." ”

Zhou Rui's family dared to be busy and humble a few words, but Mrs. Wang still had doubts on her face, and secretly complained bitterly in her belly, and retreated in disgust. Because he left the house, he quietly walked many ways to a secluded alley, where there was an empty house, and the owner moved away and no one was there, and the gate was not locked. She crept in, looked around for a while, and suddenly heard a sharp voice ask, "Are you going back to your wife?" ”

Zhou Rui's family looked around, but he didn't see a shadow, and said, "It's all said." ”

"How?"

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly explained the situation in detail, and asked, "You don't know my things?" ”

The sharp voice snorted coldly and said, "When will your house return the saint's silver, and when will the miscellaneous family return your." ”

Then I heard the sound of footsteps leaving outside. Zhou Rui's family hurriedly chased out, only to see a figure flying into the night and disappearing. I had to go back to the house slowly.

It didn't take long for Jia Lian to get a reward, and Jia Lian couldn't help but reach out and rub Jia Cong's little head: "You little baby, where did you come from!" ”

Jia Cong said proudly: "How can a person who is not satisfied and unaware like the second aunt endure the words name and power?" ”

Jia Lian said again: "It's just that even if the second wife really raises these silver taels, where will the saint really give the eldest girl the concubine position?" ”

Jia Yu snorted: "Didn't you even figure it out? Mr. Gong made it very clear that day. Besides, she has been greedy for ink for more than 800,000 taels over the years. ”

Jia Cong put his two fat arms behind his head and shook it comfortably: "This is a dark transaction, and it is unsightly, and it has never made a statement. The second aunt wants to fight a lawsuit with the saint, where does she get the evidence? ”

Jia Lian gradually figured it out, stroked his palms and laughed: "She dares?!" Even if she really dares, she can't enter the palace gate! He looked out, "Tonight?" ”

Jia Yu nodded: "Tonight." ”。
