11 (two chapters in one)
The red light, red shadow and red candle are shaking, the laughter and laughter are like a tide, whose newcomer is as beautiful as jade, and the winged mandarin ducks are happy.
Jia family, Shi Xiangyun has been here many times. This mansion was originally an official residence, but now it was given to Jia Yu by the emperor and has become Jia Shu's private residence, and it will also be passed on to Jia Shu's descendants in the future. Shi Xiangyun knew that Jia Yu did not value reputation and appearance like most nobles in Beijing, so his mansion was exquisite and luxurious on the inside, and it looked really ordinary on the outside, with doors and dim pillars that had not been refreshed for many years, which was the main tone of this mansion.
However, the house in front of me is shiny, the roof tiles have all been renovated, the blue tiles are so in tune with the quiet night sky, and there are no common weeds that are easy to grow on the roof, such as roof pine. The gate had just been painted, and the pillars had been repainted, and the vermilion glow shone under the night sky, staining the faces of the people around them with a layer of joy. The people standing at the door were not the servants who had to be used by Jia Yu's side, such as Lin Zhixiao, Wang Shanbao and others, but Zhou Rui, who was followed by a group of young men in green clothes and hats, like Zhou Rui, all wearing new clothes and red silk, welcoming wave after wave of guests in.
Shi Xiangyun was not surprised why Zhou Rui would stand at the gate and receive guests instead of the host's house, he just wondered why Zhou Rui didn't see him and didn't come up to serve him. Shi Xiangyun was about to open his mouth to call, but saw Zhou Rui passing by him and went to greet the guests behind.
Yes, she is a girl, even if the Jia family sent someone to greet her, it should also be Zhou Rui's wife, Zhou Rui's family, not Zhou Rui, the male servant who is in charge of Zhuangzi's affairs. But. When did Zhou Rui become the big housekeeper of the Jia family?
Shi Xiangyun felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember what it was.
Never mind. If you can't think of it, forget it. Horizontal and vertical is not a very important thing.
Shi Xiangyun raised his head again, and in front of him was the Hanging Flower Gate. He was familiar with the Hanging Flower Gate. Only this time, there was a small guy standing at the door, all in green clothes and hats, and all of them were hung diagonally with red silk. The Jia family has always been magnanimous to the minions below, especially when the second wife was in charge, the minions in the family were even more silk and satin, as far as Shi Xiangyun was concerned, a slave like Zhou Rui, the clothes on their bodies were no worse than him, the eldest lady of the Shi family. This housekeeper and servant of Zhou Rui's family. The hands were even more white and tender, even if he was not as well maintained as he was. changed elsewhere, I don't know if people just look at their hands, and I think he is the master, and Shi Xiangyun is the girl who is waiting below.
It's just that even if Mrs. Wang is very generous, Shi Xiangyun has never seen so many little servants of the Jia family wearing a brand-new green coat and hat (exclusive dress for servants) at the same time, and they are all wearing red silk at this door, and they have never seen the girls and women here all wearing gold and silver and auspicious clothes. His face bloomed with joy from the heart.
"Is there any joy in the family?" Shi Xiangyun stretched out his hand to stop a beautiful girl wearing a bijia skirt. He knew that this girl was just a rough girl in Jia's mother's yard who was responsible for sprinkling and sweeping. Mother Jia likes beautiful and clever girls, so the overall quality of the maids in Mother Jia's yard is the highest in the entire Jia family. Shi Xiangyun had never paid attention to this girl before, and only found out today. This girl dresses up carefully, and she is much better than those small jasper, even the young lady of the official eunuch family with a shallow foundation is nothing more than that. Mother Jia is famous for being able to train girls. The girls in Jia's mother's yard are all based on their appearance and character. This one is no exception.
What's going on today? Forget about the first-class and second-class girls, and the third-class rough girls rarely dress like this. Looking at the three or five hairpins on his head, one of them is still shaking. And the pendant on the ear, the bracelet on the wrist, the ring on the finger, all new.
Shi Xiangyun had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"What the hell is going on?" Shi Xiangyun couldn't help but say, and grabbed the girl who didn't pay attention to him at all: "If you dare to go, I'll let the old lady break your legs!" ”
The girl replied: "Today, the second master is very happy, so the old lady will not punish the slave and maid." ”
"Who! Who are you talking about? ”
The girl smiled and said, "Which one else, of course, is the second master of Baoyubao." For this reason, the second wife specially rewarded us with three months' monthly money. ”
Shi Xiangyun was shocked, and the whole person was shaky: "No, I don't believe it." You say, Baoyu is going to get married? Who's that bride? ”
"Girl, you're here again. Who else could there be? Of course, it's Miss Zhang. Good looks, good temper, and good snacks. Now Bao Er Ye can't leave him every day. ”
Shi Xiangyun stood there stunned as if he had been struck by lightning, not even knowing that the girl had walked away. Only then did he notice that this was Jia's mother's courtyard, and the servants in Jia's mother's house came and went, as well as the servants beside Mrs. Wang. Familiar houses, familiar people, but very unfamiliar pomp. The red lanterns hanging high, the colorful silk tied into flowers everywhere, the crowds coming and going, everyone is smiling, everyone is congratulating, but they are ignoring themselves. Even more dazzling was the bright red word of happiness, pasted on the window, smiling fiercely at him.
It took Shi Xiangyun a lot of effort to see the happy word clearly.
"I don't believe it!"
Shi Xiangyun shouted and hurriedly rushed inside. On the couch in the upper room of the house was the old lady he regarded as depending, and the second master and second wife were sitting next to him, as well as Zhu eldest brother and sister-in-law, but he didn't see Jia Baoyu who he wanted to see the most.
Shi Xiangyun thought that Jia's mother above would call him, but Jia's mother didn't see him, but talked to her son and daughter-in-law with a smile on her face. After a while, a bridesmaid came out and said, "Old lady, it's time to lift the red hijab." ”
Jia Mu smiled and beckoned the guests to go inside. When Shi Xiangyun saw it, he immediately rushed in the direction pointed out by Xi Niang. In the room, there were two people sitting side by side on the moon cave door carved red sandalwood hundred-character bed. The one in the east who was dressed in a big red wedding dress and wiped his forehead with a red double dragon playing with beads was not Jia Baoyu.
Shi Xiangyun shouted "Baoyu, Baoyu". But the other party turned a deaf ear.
At this time, a bride on the side handed over a wedding scale, and Jia Baoyu took it. Gently pick up the bride's red hijab. The girl who is wearing a wedding dress, hanging a gold lock, and has a shy face, who is not the daughter of the Zhang family?
"No, you can't. No. He's your cousin's daughter, you're his cousin! ”
Just between Shi Xiangyun's chaos. He felt someone nudge him gently: "Girl, girl, wake up, you have a nightmare." ”
"No, you can't!"
Shi Xiangyun screamed and sat up suddenly. It's easy to settle down, where are there any red lanterns, red happy characters, big red happy tents, big red dragon and phoenix happy candles, and some are just lotus-colored printed mosquito nets and two worried girls. Emerald wisps held herself, while the assailant held a bright red candle in his hand.
Seeing Shi Xiangyun looking at the candle in his hand in a daze, the attacker hurriedly put the candle aside and put it on the six lamps in the corner. Then he came over and said, "Girl, what's wrong?" But had a nightmare? Scared? ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "I dreamed that Baoyu was married, and the one who married was still from the Huansha Pavilion. ”
Both the attacker and the emerald wisp laughed: "Girl, this dream is all reversed." Bao Erye is the grandson of the old lady, and the two girls in the Huansha Pavilion are the granddaughters of the old lady, and there is a generation behind them. Even if Bao Er Ye really wants to marry, it can't be them. ”
"But in my dream, I saw women dressed in wedding dresses and bridal makeup, and their faces were long."
The attacker laughed, "Girl." If you say you saw it, can you sue me? Which one did Bao Er Ye marry? Is it sister or sister? ”
Shi Xiangyun hesitated for a while, and said, "It looks very elegant, it should be my sister?" No, I remember the person below saying. Grandma Bao Er has a pair of skillful hands and can cook all kinds of delicious food. Maybe it's my sister? ”
Attacker: "I see that the girl is thinking about it day and night. Today, I saw that Bao Er Ye liked the snacks made by the second girl of the Zhang family so much, and I saw Bao Er Ye defending their sisters in front of the old lady. That's why I feel uncomfortable, so I have such a strange dream. Girl. You think, those two girls. Is there anything worthy of the second master? ”
Shi Xiangyun raised his head and looked at the attacker. only listened to the attacker: "Girl, you think, our Bao Er Ye is the old lady's treasure, where the old lady is willing to wronged our Bao Er Ye, she can't wait to move the best things to Bao Er Ye." These two Zhang girls are helpless and dependent. If it is a person with such an identity as Brother Huan, we don't think it is strange, but if it is the second master of Bao, this appearance, background, and family background cannot be bad. ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Just like Sister Bao?" ”
Cui Wei said: "Why did the girl say that Miss Bao is here?" What is there like a girl about him? ”
Shi Xiangyun shook his head and said, "Do you think I really don't know?" I'm afraid that it has already spread all over this house, and it is a good relationship. Are you really thinking I'm a fool?! ”
The attacker smiled: "Girl, you really think too much. That's just a lie made up by the Xue family in order to cling to our second master. Don't you know that this lie was punctured by our second girl when she first heard it. ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Really? ”
"Nature is true." Seeing that Shi Xiangyun was unreassured, the attacker hurriedly said Jia Jiu's comments on Xue Baochai's golden lock and cold incense pills, and said: "Look, Miss Bao's background is average, her body and bones are not good, and she has to take cold incense pills to be so troublesome and not cure the disease." Idle people will not set such a daughter-in-law for their brother at home. ”
Shi Xiangyun was silent for a long time before he said: "But the golden and jade relationship ......"
The attacker pointed to the golden unicorn under the pillow and said, "Girl, don't talk about the outside, just say that in this house, which girl doesn't have a gold collar and a golden lock or something?" Don't talk about others, just say that the three girls who live behind here, he is still a concubine, doesn't he also have a gold lock and gold collar? I want the maid to say, the golden lock of Miss Bao is not as strange as the golden unicorn of the girl. You went to the Taoist temple to invite you, and let the masters open the light. He said it was given by a monk. But we haven't seen this monk either, who knows if it's true or not, as for this thing. As long as you talk to the silver building, where will there be? ”
Shi Xiangyun nodded, he was a little relieved just now, but he heard Cui Wei say: "But attack, I heard that the matter between Second Master Bao and Miss Bao was ordered by the eldest girl to personally talk to Aunt Xue's wife." ”
The attacker was startled, and he didn't know how to refute it, but a smile bloomed on his face, and the smile was very strange.
Cui Wei said: "What are you laughing at?" ”
The attacker laughed, "Why didn't I find out." Is our emerald wisp so easy to fool? Don't talk about others, just talk about when Uncle Zhu and Grandma Zhu were married. You know that too. It was the second wife who fell in love at the banquet, and invited the immortal master to combine the eight characters. Then I invited the official media to come to the door to discuss the kiss. Which of you heard about such a major event did not invite the official media, but let an unmarried girl like the eldest girl come forward? Even if the official media is not invited, the matter of proposing marriage should also be brought forward by wives and grandmothers. Even if there are many problems in the house, you can also ask Grandma Zhen and Grandma Xiaorong from Dongfu to come forward. Where is the need for the big girl to do this herself? It's not that there is no one, and the government is not short of this piece of money for inviting the official media. ”
When Shi Xiangyun heard this, he also felt reasonable. Xue Baochai really doesn't have the qualifications to rob Jia Baoyu with himself. It's just that Jia Baoyu likes good colors, and his appearance is not as good as Xue Baochai. But when Xue Baochai came, he immediately circled around Xue Baochai, which made him have to guard against it.
The more Shi Xiangyun thought about it, the more worried he became.
He knew very well in his heart that in fact, he actually had nothing but an identity. It is said that it is a noble lady, and his uncle and aunt have their own children, and they have raised and married themselves, and their responsibilities are over. Relatively speaking, Xue Baochai does not have enough identity. But the Xue family is rich, and more importantly, Xue Baochai also has Wang Ziteng's uncle. Sometimes, uncles and aunts are re-relatives. It is not more valuable than an uncle who is powerful and loves his niece's daughter. In terms of the weight of the family, Xue Baochai, who has a good uncle, is actually not much worse than Shi Xiangyun. What's more, he had a dowry. That's a lot more affordable than being an empty position.
When a girl gets married, she becomes a member of her husband's family. The identity is also calculated from the husband's family, not according to the mother's family. Arguably. Whether it is Shi Xiangyun or Xue Baochai, after marrying Jia Baoyu, as long as they are Bao's second grandmother, there is no difference between the two of them. The only thing that can affect the future is the social skills of two people. Maybe Shi Xiangyun's Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info a little higher, but Xue Baochai, who is long-sleeved and good at dancing, is not easy to match.
Although Shi Xiangyun was young, he lost his parents prematurely, which made him yearn for a home of his own. In the picture of his expectations for the future, Jia Baoyu occupies a very important part. Shi Xiangyun would never want to see someone destroy his dreams, even if this person was Xue Baochai, who was quite good to him.
That's right. In Shi Xiangyun's heart, there is no good sister like Xue Baochai, and there will be others, but Jia Baoyu always has only one. At the moment when Jia Zheng didn't care about anything and Mrs. Wang was grounded, there was only one person who could decide Jia Baoyu's lifelong events, and that was Jia Mu.
What is the old lady's plan for Baoyu?
Shi Xiangyun decided to probe Jia's mother first.
Ignoring the fact that it was still dark outside, he secretly got up, put on a coat, and slipped towards Jia's mother's house. In fact, Shi Xiangyun lives in Jia's mother's main house. The difference is that Shi Xiangyun lives in the blue yarn cupboard at the east end of the main hall, while Jia Mu lives in the warm pavilion at the west end. Although it is said that the warm pavilion and the blue gauze cabinet are separated by thin wooden doors, as long as you knock lightly twice, a girl will open the door.
Sure enough, Shi Xiangyun put his shoes upside down (the left and right shoes were worn backwards), hurriedly ran through the east suite where Jia Baoyu was sleeping, ran through the main hall with the door closed, ran into the west suite where the second-class girl was sleeping, leaned against the carved wooden door at the end, and knocked gently.
Jia's mother is old, and her spirit is not as good as before. His biggest problem now is that he doesn't fall asleep easily at night and wakes up easily. As soon as Shi Xiangyun knocked on the door, he opened his eyes.
Mother Jia knew that with her seniority, identity and age, there were few things that needed to alarm her in the middle of the night. Even if something important happens, his son will find a way to drag it out and tell him slowly. Of course, at this point, his eldest son is not as good as his little daughter-in-law. Men are always different from women.
Jia's mother was sure that he hadn't heard a knock on the door, and the only possibility was that his little grandson wanted to whisper to her.
Mother Jia is old and happy to share such a little secret with her grandchildren. But he didn't expect that the one who came to him today would be Shi Xiangyun, a nephew and granddaughter who has always been very aggressive.
Shi Xiangyun secretly climbed onto Jia's mother's big bed, and saw Jia's mother looking at him with a smile, unconsciously blushing, and called in a low voice: "Old lady."
Jia Mu said: "Yun girl, what's wrong with you?" Homesick? ”
Shi Xiangyun shook his head and said, "Old lady." I just had a dream that Baoyu was marrying a daughter-in-law. ”
Jia Mu said: "Oh? Do you see who the bride is? ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "It's the niece of the Huansha Pavilion." It's just that I didn't see if it was my sister or my sister and woke up. ”
Jia Mu laughed. He was very relaxed: "Girl." Dreams can't be taken seriously. ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Does the old lady have any plans for Baoyu's future wife?" ”
Only then did Jia's mother open her eyes and look at her niece and daughter.
Before you know it, the sons are all older. The grandchildren are the same every day. It seems that Baoyu just came to the world yesterday, thin and small, like a newborn cat, and he is weak to cry, and now some people are concerned about his life.
Seeing that Jia's mother didn't speak, Shi Xiangyun didn't feel a little worried, so he had to call softly: "Old lady? ”
Mother Jia sighed, touched Shi Xiangyun's hair and said, "Did the words of that child of the Zhang family worry you today?" ”
Shi Xiangyun said: "Old lady, when I think of Baoyu, I won't be the first to play with me in the future." On the contrary, I followed the others from morning to night, and I felt like something was missing in my heart. Old lady, do you think Baoyu will ignore me in the future? ”
Jia Mu smiled: "You child, you are really a little doll." You grew up with Baoyu from childhood to adulthood, when did Baoyu ignore you? ”
"But the two nieces and nephews of the Zhang family ......"
Although Jia Mu's voice was gentle, her tone was unquestionable: "That's because Baoyu hasn't eaten this kind of snack they sent." ”
Shi Xiangyun immediately noticed Jia's mother's displeasure, and didn't dare to speak at the moment. Jia Mu knew that the most taboo thing for people like them was incest. In other words, since the two sisters Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing are the granddaughters of his concubine. Then they are the great-granddaughters of Jia's mother, and Jia's mother would rather have an affair between Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai than would not want to see the slightest rumor about Jia Baoyu following the two children. What about the Zhang sisters, Mother Jia will not be interested. I don't care about this mood, but Jia Baoyu is the grandson raised by Jia's mother, and Jia's mother definitely doesn't want to see her beloved grandson ruined by such rumors.
Jia Baoyu had an affair with Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai. No matter how big the trouble is, in the end, it is just a sentence "people are not romantic teenagers". But if there is a scandal with his niece and nephew, it is not as good as a beast.
If a person has such a scandal. That's the stain inside the stain, it can't be washed away in a lifetime, let alone the future or something, don't even think about it.
Jia's mother suddenly felt that maybe it was a mistake to take the two children of the Zhang family over. Fortunately, the two children are now raised in the back garden. As long as he speaks, he saves them from asking for peace, and detains Jia Baoyu a little longer, he can effectively isolate the contact between Jia Baoyu and the Zhang sisters. Jia's mother knows very well that Jia Baoyu likes beautiful girls, but the Zhang sisters' appearance is not outstanding.
Mother Jia instantly made a decision in her heart, let the Zhang sisters only come to greet them on the fifteenth day of the new year in the future, and let them stay in the back garden at other times, or let them follow Jia Jiu to learn more about housekeeping, so that these two children will not have so much time to do what they have and not, and they will not have so much time to contact Jia Baoyu. As for Jia Baoyu's side, he can let Xue Baochai come over and walk around more, and then choose some beautiful little girls to come up. With Jia Baoyu's temperament, as long as there is a beautiful little girl, the Zhang sisters will be thrown aside in a few days. As for what to eat, if you have a recipe, tell you to do it below.
Jia's mother made up her mind in an instant, but she comforted Shi Xiangyun and told him: "Baoyu is still young, he shouldn't marry early, so I want to wait until he is fifteen or sixteen years old." It's too early for you to worry about this. ”
When Jia Baoyu was fifteen or sixteen years old, Xue Baochai was only afraid that he was older than the current Jia Yuanchun, and Shi Xiangyun knew that people like Jia Shiwang Xue would never leave the girl in the family until they were eighteen years old unless there was a special reason.
Shi Xiangyun thought that he could rest assured, but he didn't know that his crisis was about to begin.
