Jia Baoyu's poems and essays are very easy to sell, and the ones who help him sell his essays are his brothers in the family, who don't cheat him, and he doesn't like to spend money, and Jia's mother left him a lifetime of family money, so the private money is quite rich. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he is not good at financial management, and the accounts are all under the control of his daughter-in-law Shi Xiangyun after getting married.

In recent years, Shi Xiangyun has been busy leading the wives and grandmothers in Beijing to do some good deeds of compassion for the poor and the elderly. The earlier big garden of Rongguo Mansion was originally a big house to live in, but now the garden is too small, and it is not cheap to eat tea and enjoy flowers. So he bought a garden not far from Ning Rong Street, added potted stones, and pruned flowers and trees to entertain female guests. Moreover, Shi Xiangyun is also more comfortable as the master. When Jia Cong came to trust her to do charity, he brought half a song to sing, and there was a sentence that Shi Xiangyun liked very much. "It's like, the moonlight shines in the Jade Hall." Then this garden was named "Jiyue Garden".

This time is in the chrysanthemum flowering period, Shi Xiangyun invited the female dependents of the prince's mansion to come to Jiyue Garden to enjoy the flowers, including the second grandmother of the Zhenguo Mansion, Mu Shi. Mu Shi originally loved flowers and plants, and saw that Shi Xiangyun's post was written gracefully, and recently he was upset and depressed, but he happened to go over to go shopping and relax. When I arrived at Jiyue Garden, a familiar female said: "I heard that Bao Er's grandmother was especially annoyed by her brother-in-law - it was Jia Cong from Nezha's lower realm, and now she is more favored than anyone else in front of the prince." Two or three months ago, the prince got some people out of the palace, and Jia Cong asked his old man to borrow a gardener who used to take care of the imperial garden to help take care of the garden. Mu looked around, and the garden was much more elaborate than when spring came, and he couldn't help nodding his head and praising the florist's hand.

At one time, all the wives, grandmothers, and girls scattered everywhere to enjoy the flowers. Because Shi Xiangyun is the main and busy, he is busy everywhere. Mu Shi has always been a trouble-freer, so he only said hello to Shi Xiangyun and said: "You just have to be busy and don't worry about me, I often come." Shi Xiangyun smiled and saluted: "Thank you second grandma for hurting me." He cheekily asked her to help take care of a girl, saying that she was a relative from the south, surnamed Chen. Mu Shi saw that the girl's appearance was very outstanding, and the clothes and jewelry were expensive, fine and elegant, and he was secretly shocked. As soon as this Chen girl came back to Jiyue Garden for the first time, Mu led her to a few exquisite scenes, spied carefully on the way, and asked her about her origins. Except for knowing that her maiden name is called "Ruijin", the rest were avoided by her lightly. The two of you have been playing dumb riddles for a long time, but it's also interesting.

Because he walked to a secluded bamboo path in the northwest corner, there was a small Xuan lying on the rockery stone in front of him, Chen Ruijin said: "It must look good from the top up." ”

Mu said with a smile: "It's really good-looking, I go up to this garden every time I come back to take a look." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "There are some flowers and plants on this rockery, which is quiet for no reason. I'm afraid that some of us are going to make a fuss when we go up. ”

Mu likes to be quiet, especially likes to be alone, but fortunately, Chen Ruijin is refreshing. So he sent someone up to investigate, but there was no one in the Xuan; The people who followed Nai Ming were waiting below, and the two of them met quietly.

After a while, Chen Ruijin suddenly said: "Bao's second sister-in-law said that a few days ago, she recommended a copy of "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" to Niu Er's grandmother. ”

Muhammad's face changed slightly: "Then the book is just a casual glance." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "The steward made a mistake at the wrong time, causing the two of you to sit in the temple and wait for more than an hour, and there are no other books to read, so reading this review is nothing." Muhammad stood up. Chen Ruijin said, "Grandma Bao Er doesn't know anything. My fiancΓ© thought that maybe the three county lords would also like to read the green forest commentary, so he made a little temptation. ”

Muhammad's face sank: "Who is your fiancΓ© and what do you want?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "My fiancΓ©'s name is Jia Cong, and he is the brother-in-law of Bao Er's grandmother. Bao Er's grandmother looks smart, but she is actually quite easy to deceive, and this matter has nothing to do with her. Jia Cong is Shi Li's friend. ”

Mu Shi Fang had countless thoughts in his mind, and when he heard the word "Shi Li", his face turned white, and he looked around in panic, and when he saw that there was no one else, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "What does he want to do?" ”

Chen Ruijin shook his head: "Shi Li doesn't want to do anything, but Jia Cong feels a pity." So I used that commentary to test the county lord's mind. ”

Mu Shi sneered: "What Mr. Jia means is that Shi Li is like Li Xunhuan, and he has a hard time? ”

"It's not." Chen Ruijin said, "Shi Li was a bastard like Li Xunhuan back then, and there was no difference in the color of the bastard. However, Shi Li is now stronger than Li Xunhuan. She paused, shook her head, and said, "I really can't say those words after Jia Cong. ”

Suddenly, a male voice said in the rockery outside the house: "That's it, it's a bit shameless, let me tell you." Don't worry, the three county lords, I know that you are a very well-behaved person and will not go in. ”

Mu Shi rolled his eyes: "Could it be Mr. Jia?" ”

"That's right, I'm Jia Cong." The man outside. Mu Shi was about to open his mouth with sarcasm on his face, when was Jia Cong willing to honestly let the family talk well? "I'll go on." Miss Mu, eh, Lord Mu, Shi Li is a little better than Li Xunhuan in that he repented; And after he repented, he didn't do anything to kill his sorrows with alcohol every day, but pondered how to chase his sweetheart back. The ancients said that knowing mistakes can be corrected, and kindness is great. Why didn't the county lord give him another chance? He was still young and hadn't really tasted lovesickness. Young people inevitably make mistakes. Besides, Shi Li has a handsome face. The ancients were cloudy, and it was right to be handsome and do anything. The county lord, don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, just look at his stinky skin, and give him a chance. ”

Mu turned his head to look at Chen Ruijin amusedly; Chen Ruijin said in a low voice: "I don't know him. ”

"Shi Li and Niu Jicheng are different." Jia Cong said again, "I believe that Niu Jicheng also likes the county lord. However, if he were to be given a woman who would not lose to the county lord in terms of rank, appearance, temperament, and talent, he would also ask for it; If Shi Li was given a woman who was similar to the county lord in terms of background, appearance, temperament, and talent, he would not ask for it. There are too few infatuated lovers in the world, and how lucky the county lord is to meet one. That's why I feel sorry for you. Give him a chance, you can bully him for a lifetime, wouldn't it be like living a lifetime in the Zhenguo Mansion? ”

Mu Shi said loudly: "I don't know where Mr. Jia heard the gossip, I am living in the mansion aggrieved?" ”

Jia Cong "cut": "Niu Jizong's daughter-in-law killed your son, do you think the Niu family's handling is fair?" Mu Shi suddenly couldn't stand still, his feet went limp, and he sat down with his hands on the railing. Jia Cong said again, "Again." Shi Li is naturally restless, and the woman who will take a fancy to him can't be at ease, and she must like stimulation inside. If the county lord is willing to give him another chance, he will not be able to leave the deep mansion compound, and the sea and sky will be wide from now on. Even if you use Shi Li's power to earn freedom, and you have enough skills in the future, it will be okay to dump him. If there is no ambition, I will not take these to pry her. ”

"Shut up!" Mu Shi drank, "There is nothing wrong with me as the second master of my family. ”

Jia Cong smiled lightly: "It's better to give it a try, and see if Niu Jicheng will not be able to live up to the three county lords." Just try to tell him how you didn't have your first child. If Niu Jicheng is willing to stand up for his daughter-in-law and administer justice, let Grandma Niu get the punishment she deserves-Shi Li will lose. I will persuade him to cry well, bury you deep in his heart, and love another woman in two years. ”

Chen Ruijin glanced at Mu Shi deeply: "If he endures this matter for the sake of his brother and the face of the house-"

Jia Cong continued: "As the days go by, this kind of thing will only be more and not less. Do you want to endure it for the rest of your life? ”

Xuanzhong was silent for a while, and Chen Ruijin said: "The eldest and second masters of the Niu family are more than ten years apart. When Mrs. Niu was pregnant with Uncle Niu, an earlier person in the house next to Mr. Niu quietly did something. Although it was later discovered, Uncle Niu was still a premature baby. The Niu family was originally a martial arts family, but he had never practiced martial arts, because he was weak at an early age. Because of this, Mrs. Niu felt that she owed her eldest son, and it was inevitable that she would be partial to him. Mrs. Niu injured her body when she gave birth to Uncle Niu, and it took more than ten years to raise the second master of the cow. ”

Jia Cong said outside: "Then you are still young, the third county lord. At that age, slipping through the fetus can easily cause habitual miscarriage. You have only been married for three years, and Mrs. Niu is in a hurry to raise a concubine in front of you, which is obviously a knowledgeable person. She herself suffered a lot in this when she was young, and she had to learn this knowledge. She probably thinks you won't be able to raise children in the future. Well, I have a question. Grandma Niu Jiang is the daughter of the Marquis of Pingyuan, does she know? Does she know that at your age, it may be difficult to raise a child in the future? It must be known that she and Niu Jizong already have two sons-in-law. And Niu Jizong, he really doesn't know what his daughter-in-law did? As the eldest grandson of a martial arts clan like the Niu family, he can't practice martial arts, and he must be under a lot of pressure. People, especially well-bred people, are generally just and noble in matters that matter. Once something is involved in one's own vital interests, all conscience and morality are gone. ”

Muhammad gasped, clutching the handkerchief tightly in his hand. After a long time, he suddenly came back to his senses and shouted: "What is the purpose of Mr. Jia's separation of the friendship between the two rooms in our house?" ”

Jia Cong laughed and said, "I don't know the people of Zhenguo Mansion at all!" Besides, is the friendship between the two of you because I am separated? Isn't it Chiang's division? ”

Chen Ruijin reminded inside: "Look at the look of the third county lord, I'm afraid I'm guessing what you're thinking, you have explained this section clearly." ”

"Order!" Jia Cong stood outside, bowing and clenching his fists. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I rarely ask a woman to leave home. Without him, most of the women in this year have no ambition. Or when I was a teenager, I also had ambition, and when I looked back, I suddenly realized that my ambition was childish and ridiculous. Or they were full of hope, but they were disappointed for too long and turned into despair; Turning his head and thinking, it is better not to have hope. After getting married, they only guarded the small courtyard, enjoyed the flowers, cooked tea, and taught their husbands and children. Although the days were not satisfactory, patience passed. To break this quiet life is like a gamble. It's good to be natural, but what if it doesn't? Nine out of ten bets are lost. However, I have to say it again, the woman who will take a fancy to Shi Li can't be separated. Why don't you give it a try? Can't you think you can live a happier life? ”

Mu Shi sneered, "A happier day? My life is excellent now, where could there be better? ”

Jia Cong said: "Have you ever heard of Zhou Xiaolan, who single-handedly subdued tens of thousands of pirates and defeated the Java State? There is also our Lin Junshi of the Taiwan government, who is strategizing and full of wisdom, and the veteran of the battlefield is impressed by her. My four sisters have also traveled all over the country, and their lives have been very exciting. There is a female bandit in Shu who was originally the granddaughter of Fang Xiong, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and now she has become a green forest hero. The finch without ability is content under the eaves, and the confident bird is not afraid of the nine skies. Rules can only bind the people at the bottom, because they are powerless to change. Three county lords, the world is very big, do you want to go and see it. Muhammad gritted his teeth.

After a moment of silence, Chen Ruijin took out a booklet from his arms: "This is written by Jia Cong coaxed someone to help him rush to write." ”

Mu Shi opened it and looked at it a few times: "Rongguo Mansion Bao's second grandmother's handwriting." ”

Jia Cong sighed outside: "The people who can write articles in our house are all doing serious things this time, and I don't dare to entrust Sister-in-law Zhu, so I can only coax Bao's second sister-in-law to drive out." For this reason, I promised to find an excuse for her to let her go south for a few days. It's a pity to see, she is generally the daughter of a great general, and she has not left the capital for 500 miles since she married into the gate of our mansion. ”

Chen Ruijin said: "According to me, she still can't think about it herself." The second wife's illness is not a year or two, she is just a daughter-in-law, and not a daughter who is born to care about her mother, and the second wife is not short of people to take care of her; I was overwhelmed by a reputation, so why bother? ”

Jia Cong said: "Now it seems that the third sister-in-law likes to play in the mountains and rivers. She goes out a few more times, and she can also get Bao's second sister-in-law to let go a little. Speaking of which, the one who has been trapped at home for the longest time is still Zhu's sister-in-law. I studied in front of her when I was a child, and she was also a lively person, so when to find a reason to coax her to go out for a walk. Even if you don't go abroad, it's not bad to go around in China, there are so many mountains and rivers. Lan'er is not young anymore, she can't walk if she doesn't go out. I just don't know if I can ride a horse. ”

Chen Ruijin said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the second sister-in-law Lian was the fastest to learn to ride a horse back then?" ”

Jia Cong also smiled: "My old son has always treated his daughter-in-law as an outsider. Only that time I saw that she learned to ride a horse quickly, and I saw that she was much more pleasing to the eye than the second brother Lian. ”

The two of them knocked on Muhammad's ears with a word. If someone else says these things, she will not believe them. How can you rush the inner house maiden to the mountains and rivers to visit? Can. The four shrews in Rongguo Mansion are known to everyone in Beijing. On the surface, they despise her for her presumptuous words, or regret that she was young and ignorant, open-mouthed, and made big mistakes, but there are many people who secretly envy her for being able to travel the world. Muhammad's heart was unconsciously turbulent.

Chen Ruijin saw that her face had changed, and sighed lightly: "Lord Mu is just dead." How old are you? Just dead heart? The world has changed over time, and it is impossible to say that the world has changed? Out of the square inch of the flower house, you can live like yourself, and you will not come to the world in vain. ”

Jia Cong said: "Even if you don't look down on Shi Li anymore, you can try to be sincere to Niu Jicheng for a while." Don't say that you are sincere, you can't be sincere to him if you have someone else hidden in your heart. Don't pretend to be virtuous and virtuous anymore, and show your temperament when you were not married. If you are not happy to let him have sex with your concubine, you will be jealous of him, and if you don't want to raise a concubine, you won't raise it, and you can't bear that his sister-in-law hurt your son, so let him come forward to help you take revenge, and see what Niu Jicheng means. I repeat, if he is willing to stand up and seek justice for you and your son, he wins and Shi Li loses, I will persuade Shi Li to die. Shi Li gave up first, and the opportunity fell into the hands of Niu Jicheng. If Niu Jicheng didn't seize the opportunity, why not give Shi Li another time? It's not too late to make amends, you're all still young. ”

Muhammad's eyes suddenly lit up! After a while, it darkened again, and said with a wry smile: "How could I have provoked you and used these to provoke me." ”

Jia Cong shouted outside: "Because you are a person of courage and deserve a better life." Chen Ruijin covered his face in the Xuan. Let go and take a lookβ€”Muhammad was moved! I can't help but be secretly surprised: can such boring words really move people?

That night, Mu sat alone in front of the desk and looked at the booklet that Jia Cong coaxed Shi Xiangyun to write, and tears blurred a piece of handwriting.

It was a small commentary, still written with the story of the green forest. Towards the end, the woman in the book says, "I always thought I had won; It wasn't until I looked in the mirror one day that I realized that I had lost. At my best, my favorite people weren't around me. It would be nice to start over. Then the woman died.
