Chapter 6: Bad Premonitions
Xiangling was very nervous when she saw so many pairs of eyes around her looking at her. Xue Pan was aroused to be competitive and playful at this time, and he said to Xiangling very confidently: "Don't listen to this prisoner's coaxing of you, my brother Bao is the second son of the Rongguo Mansion in Beijing, and his status is noble. Don't have eyes that don't know Tarzan! ”
When Jia Baoyu heard Xue Pan speak, he knew that the situation was not good. A girl like Xiangling may not be able to distinguish too many pros and cons, but the girl's innate instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages is still there.
Feng Yuan is gentle and harmless to humans and animals. And on his side, headed by Xue Pan, there are more than a dozen "fierce and evil" people, compared with the two, Jia Baoyu empathizes, if he estimates that he will also choose Feng Yuan.
sighed in his heart, Jia Baoyu was not too disappointed. Just think of it as a good accumulation of virtue and a sin in the original work.
Sure enough, Xiangling met Feng Yuan's expectant and eager eyes, and then glanced at Jia Baoyu, and when her eyes unconsciously fell on Xue Pan, she subconsciously shrunk her neck, and then moved towards Feng Yuan step by step.
"Hahaha, congratulations to Feng Xianggong for holding the beauty, you can invite us to the house to drink a glass of wine in the future!"
The onlookers in the crowd who had good things to do immediately burst into laughter when they saw the results.
Feng Yuan was naturally overjoyed, and said to the surroundings with a fist: "Thank you, I will definitely set up the banquet another day, and invite everyone to the house for a glass of wine, hahaha......"
"Damn it......" Xue Pan rolled up his sleeves, and Wu Quan and the others were also ready to move, following Xue Pan's side.
Feng Yuan changed color and said: "What's the matter, could it be that Uncle Xue can't afford to lose, and he can't use force against Feng in front of everyone's eyes?" ”
The people around him also showed some disdain. There is no previous matter, who Xiangling is going with is nothing to everyone, but the two families are just fighting for a woman. But they all agreed to listen to the woman's own will, and this time they retorted, which was really disgraceful.
Fortunately, Jia Baoyu knew Xue Pan's temper, and before he could give the order, he pulled him and forcibly dragged him out of the gate.
"Brother Bao, we can't just forget it, what a good girl, how can I give it to him plainly, I can't swallow this breath!"
Xue Pan was reluctant, and his tone was very angry.
Although Jia Baoyu pulled him, he suddenly had a good impression of him at this time. No matter what kind of mind he is in, he is so eager to "recruit" for himself, and even more attentive than himself, such a relationship can only be regarded as an iron buddy level person in the future generation.
Thinking about it like this, Jia Baoyu felt that although Xue Pan had a lot of problems, there was no room for reform. He is not a judge, and he does not need to consider whether he is good or bad based solely on whether he is good or not. If you treat those who are sincere to yourself, why should you be harsh with others?
"Brother Xue dissipated his anger, in Brother Xue's previous words, isn't it just a little daughter-in-law, if she loses, she loses, it's not a big deal, if we regret it now and grab it back, what we will lose is the face of our Xue and Jia families, it's not worth it for her little girl. However, Brother Xue's affection, the younger brother just remembered it. ”
Jia Baoyu persuaded sincerely, Xue Pan was silent for a moment, and suddenly raised his leg and kicked at the crutch who was being held by the Xue family's little servant, and kicked him and screamed.
Jia Baoyu saw that Xue Pan was finally no longer entangled, so he let go of him and said, "I have been delayed in the restaurant for a lot of time, if it is late today, it is better to go back to the house today and go shopping another day." By the way, take him to the yamen first. ”
Xue Pan's eyes rolled and said, "Why should the two of us go in person to send him to the yamen, just ask Wu Quan and them to go, let's go back directly." ”
"It's fine."
Xiao Er of the restaurant took Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu's horses out of the backyard early in the morning, Xue Pan beckoned Jia Baoyu to get on the horse, and then turned back to explain to Wu Quan and others, asking them to send the abductors to Yingtianfu, and then also got on the horse. If Jia Baoyu looked at Xue Pan's face carefully at this time, he would find that there was a trace of cunning hidden in his eyes, which did not match his fat and stupid face.
There was not much delay in returning to Xue's house, and when he entered the door, Xue Pan said that he had other things, let Jia Baoyu go into the house by himself, and Jia Baoyu didn't allow him to think, so he let his two little servants Mingyan and hoe medicine go to rest separately, and walked into the inner courtyard of Xue's house by himself.
"Mrs. doesn't know, although the brother of the Zhen family has found it, but it is really not good. We didn't see his brother, but we listened to their mother-in-law when we waited for his wife in the outer hall, and the night their brother came back, he became stupid, and he couldn't speak, and he either slept all day long, or stared at the lamp in a daze, and when people went to see him, he didn't speak, but just smiled at people. ”
Stepping into the courtyard arranged by the Xue family for their mother and son, and entering Mrs. Wang's room, they saw Zhou Rui's family and the other two mothers-in-law talking back to Mrs. Wang.
As the head of the four major families in Jinling, the Jia family has now moved to the capital, but there are still twelve rooms of clansmen living in Jinling, in addition, the Jia family has a lot of relatives and friends in Jinling City, and Mrs. Wang, as the wife of the Rongguo Mansion, naturally has to send people to visit everywhere when she arrives here, which is the etiquette of the big family.
Today, Zhou Rui's family went to the Zhen family in the city.
After Jia Baoyu entered the door, Mrs. Wang beckoned him to sit down, but did not ask him anything else, but asked Zhou Rui's family: "What do you say, how can a good person be stupid, there must be a reason, right?" ”
Zhou Rui's family replied: "If you want to talk about the reason, their mother-in-law can't say it clearly, and we don't dare to ask their wife." I heard that I was in good sanity on the night I got it back, but I was confused when I spoke. Their brother is also called Baoyu, and he is also the old lady who hurts the most, and that night he was carried to the old lady's Cixuan Hall, where the family, sisters, relatives and friends crowded into a room, and naturally they were concerned in every way, but he actually said that he was not Baoyu, and asked everyone who they were. The old lady and the others were naturally strange, and asked him again, 'You are not Baoyu, then who are you' and so on, and he actually said that he was Baoyu, and for a while he said that he was not Baoyu...... In this way, the old lady and others thought that he was frightened, so they naturally did not take his words to heart, thinking that it would be good to recuperate for a night, but who knew that it was not like this, and it was worse day by day, and the old lady of his family cried and fainted several times because of this......"
Mrs. Wang was very embarrassed when she heard it, and felt that the Zhen family's brother and his family Baoyu were indeed very similar, they were both the hearts and minds of the old lady in the family, and they loved the house and Wu, and now that it was not good to listen to him, she naturally felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she didn't have the heart to inquire, and asked Zhou Rui's family and others to go down.
"Baoyu, are you going to the city with your Brother Xue today? You are not fully ill, why don't you listen to me and take care of yourself in the house. ”
Mrs. Wang beckoned Jia Baoyu to come closer, tidied up the clothes on his chest for him, and complained.
"Don't worry, my wife, my illness has been cured, if you don't believe it, please take a look!"
Jia Baoyu knew that his current health was not bad, in order to dispel the image of a "weak chicken" in Mrs. Wang's heart, Jia Baoyu gave up her face and jumped three times on the spot......
"Hehehe, slow down, be careful not to fall." Mrs. Wang smiled and motioned to Jia Baoyu not to make trouble, but seeing that Jia Baoyu was really alive, how could she be unhappy in her heart?
Jia Baoyu saw that Mrs. Wang was in a good mood, and said a few more pleasant words, and then withdrew.
When he returned to his house, he found that the attacker and the charming were drying clothes in the backyard, so Jia Baoyu stood at the door of the back room and watched for a while. Although he missed Xiangling today, he has no regrets. These two maids are actually not much worse than Xiangling.
After reading for a long time, Jia Baoyu felt a little idle, so Jia Baoyu went back to the house and found the book he took from Baochai. In this era when everything is inferior, only reading is high, it is always beneficial to read more, and he found that in this life, his memory is very good, reading these books, it is always easy to remember, and it is easy to forget, I don't know if it is because of the talent of this body itself, or the reason why the god Ying I met in the dream when I first came......
Jia Baoyu concentrated on reading, and soon read a copy of "Yuan History", and after a little thought, he took one of the four books, "The Mean", and prepared to read it, when suddenly there was a chaotic sound outside, as well as Xue Pan's elated voice:
"Brother Bao, come out and take a look, see what I brought back for you......"
Jia Baoyu looked up and found that the attacker was already sitting next to him at some point, embroidering the insole. However, he didn't pay too much attention to her, just because he heard Xue Pan's voice, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
