Chapter 14: Meeting
When I came to the door of Jia Zheng's study, I just sent someone in to report, and I heard a hearty shouting and scolding from inside: "Damn evil obstacles, don't get in yet!" ”
Xue Pan shrank his neck, and Jia Baoyu also looked at Jia Lian: This is what you just said, don't scold?
"Ahem, this, let's go in first......" Jia Lian was very embarrassed, and invited the two of them to enter the door as soon as possible.
When I entered the door, I saw a man wearing a yellow robe, a purple belt, a black crown on his head, and his back to everyone, and there were some middle-aged scribes dressed as Confucian scholars next to him.
Jia Baoyu and Xue Pan hurriedly knelt down and said goodbye.
"The child has seen his father, I wish him good health."
"Little, the little nephew has seen it, I've seen my aunt, I wish my aunt a ...... Blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan! ”
As soon as Xue Pan's words were finished, there was a burst of laughter around him. Xue Pan secretly blamed Jia Baoyu in his heart, and he didn't tell him in advance if he wanted to say a congratulatory speech, so he didn't have time to think about it, and it was easy to say that he was ridiculed.
The man with the crown didn't smile, he turned his face and looked at the two of them for a long time before saying, "Get up." ”
"Thank you, father."
"Aunt Xie's ......"
Jia Baoyu stood up, and only then did he see Jia Zheng's appearance clearly.
Compared with Jia Yucun's rugged and burly, Jia Zheng has the appearance of a weak scholar. He looked forty or fifty years old, with a three- or four-inch long, neatly groomed beard, a serious complexion, a calm temperament, and a little unangry and self-assured.
Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Baoyu first, and saw that his face was ruddy, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was relieved but didn't show it, but looked at Xue Pan, and saw that Xue Pan's heart was struggling to stop, and said: "Since you have arrived in the capital, you must not act recklessly and recklessly in the future." Your uncle has been promoted to the control of the nine provinces, and before leaving Beijing, he wrote to me to explain that I will discipline you well, if you let me know that you are restless and obedient, you can be careful!
In the future, you and your mother and sister will live in the Lixiangyuan in the northeast of the house, which was originally a place for our grandfather to recuperate in old age. Lian'er, you take him to Lixiangyuan first. ”
When Xue Pan saw that Jia Zheng did not mention his lawsuit, he was overjoyed, nodded yes again and again, and then followed Jia Lian away.
He also thought that Jia Zheng would be like his father did in the past, and now he let him go so easily, which is exactly what he wants!
As soon as Xue Pan left, all the eyes in the room were on Jia Baoyu.
Jia Baoyu was unmoved, and stood there very calmly.
Jia Zheng stared at him for a long time, and finally said, "How is your illness healing?" ”
"Thanks to my wife, I put a hundred pillars of incense on the child in the Phantom Spirit Temple, and scattered hundreds of thousands of dollars (copper coins), and the child's illness was cured."
The crowd was amazed. Jia Zheng bowed his head, he saw it with his own eyes when the monk came to "leak the heavenly secret", but he didn't expect it to be effective. It seems that it is really the will of heaven and the heir of the Jia family......
And seeing that Jia Baoyu was a little less cringe than when he saw him before, he was a little more satisfied in his heart, so he said calmly: "Pan'er got into a lawsuit, does it have anything to do with you?" ”
Although Mrs. Wang's letter said that Xue Pan's case had nothing to do with Jia Baoyu, he was skeptical. After all, Jia Baoyu went out with Xue Pan that day, so it was hard for him not to suspect that Mrs. Wang was protecting Jia Baoyu.
"Back to my lord, there is."
"Evil Barrier!"
Jia Zheng was immediately angry, and the scribes in the house hurriedly persuaded him.
Jia Baoyu said again: "Master Mingjian, the child said that there is, because the cause of this matter is related to the child, but it is not that the case is related to me......
So Jia Baoyu slowly explained the events of that day to Jia Zheng, and finally said: "The child exposed the face of the kidnapper and sent him to the official in order to eliminate evil and promote good." Letting that girl go with Feng Yuan is unwilling to make it difficult for a strong man.
But the child didn't expect that Brother Xue would quietly snatch the girl back, so it was a mistake, if the child was at fault in this matter, it was also the fault that he failed to completely restrain Brother Xue, if the father blamed, the child was willing to be punished. ”
Since Jia Zheng was suspicious of this matter, Jia Baoyu explained everything clearly in front of everyone to avoid trouble in the future.
As for letting these Jia Zheng's purgeants know...... This is something that can't be helped, Jia Baoyu even believes that the people in this matter have known for a long time, and there is no need to cover it up.
"Master, don't blame Brother Shi, according to us, this matter really has nothing to do with Brother Shi. On the contrary, after this incident, it seems that the world brother has won the true inheritance of the master, and he has the style of the ancient benevolent, and the master has a successor, which is really gratifying, why should the master be too harsh on the world brother? ”
Behind Jia Zheng, the scribe who was originally sitting on a chair with a righteous face got up and said, and helped Jia Zheng to sit down.
Others chimed in.
Jia Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "In the end, it is because you are young and competitive that this disaster is caused." However, since several of them have interceded for you, there is no need to receive punishment. I just hope that you will be more respectful and cautious in the future, and don't learn from that squirming generation, fighting fiercely outside, and harming yourself is not counted, and in the end it will affect the family, and I will be satisfied. ”
"Follow the teachings of the old man."
Jia Baoyu bowed down to receive the order, and at this time, someone came to spread it, saying that Jia Baoyu should go over quickly.
Jia Zheng had no choice but to say to Jia Baoyu: "Go ahead." ”
......
Out of Mengpo Zhai, Jia Baoyu's little maid Mingyan ran up, pulled Jia Baoyu and said, "How is the second master, have you been scolded?" ”
Jia Baoyu looked at him and said, "You really want me to be scolded?" ”
"How dare I...... I saw that the second master went to Mengpo Zhai, so I kept guarding outside the second gate. The mandarin duck aunt and grandmother in the old lady's house came out, knowing that it was the old lady who passed you, I immediately ran over to save the second master! I am so loyal, I didn't expect that the second master not only didn't appreciate it, but also wronged me. ”
There are four small servants who followed Jia Baoyu to the south of the Yangtze River, and this Mingyan is one of them, so Jia Baoyu knows that he is a clever ghost. At this time, when he saw his grievances, he smiled: "Okay, I remember your loyalty." Next time I go out, I'll take you to something delicious. ”
Ming Yan said with a smile: "I'm not rare for anything delicious, as long as the second master remembers my benefits." ”
With the smoke to the second gate, there are maids along the way to guide, Jia Baoyu with the mentality of "Grandma Liu enters the Grand View Garden", watching everywhere, smiling and greeting people, often in exchange for a lot of laughter.
This is the kingdom of daughters.
As far as the eye can see, it is full of red and willow green, surrounded by hairpin skirts.
Soon they came to a large courtyard with five large upper rooms in front of it. Walking through the hall, climbing the steps, at a curtain, guarding two young and beautiful maids.
"Hehe, Second Master Bao is here, why don't you go in? The old lady urged it several times. ”
The maid at the door smiled, one opened the curtain, and the other grabbed him and gently pushed him in.
Before Jia Baoyu could take a look at the situation in the hall, he saw a beautiful young woman walking over quickly.
I saw her:
Wearing a gold silk octagonal beaded bun, a sunrise five phoenix hanging bead hairpin, wearing a red and silver jacket with gold and butterflies, and a stone blue and silver mouse coat.
A pair of red phoenix eyes, two curved willow eyebrows.
Slim, coquettish, powdery, smiling. Suddenly, she looked like a fairy concubine.
"Hehe, Brother Bao, hurry up, the old lady is in a hurry, you are still grinding here!"
As the beautiful young woman spoke, she pulled Jia Baoyu through a screen and turned into the real Rongqing Hall.
Suddenly, the dark fragrance fills the nose.
However, Jia Baoyu didn't have time to take a closer look, and he didn't even have time to feel the touch of the beautiful young woman holding his arm, so he was held by the beautiful young woman and went straight to the high platform in the middle.
Above, sat an old lady with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and sideburns like silver. She stood up, looked at Jia Baoyu with tears in her eyes, then hugged her and cried: "Baoyu, my Yu'er, you are back......
Jia Baoyu naturally knew that this was Jia's mother, and at this time, she was infected by her emotions, and she also called out in a lost voice: "Ancestor~!" ”
Someone next to him persuaded: "Old lady, Baoyu has come back safely, you should be happier." Seeing that Jia's mother didn't object, he took Jia's mother back and sat down. Jia Mu said, "Baoyu, sit down." ”
Jia Baoyu sat beside her as she said.
"Hehe, don't laugh at my aunt's wife, my grandson has been raised by his side since he was a child, and he has never been far away, and this time he has been gone for more than two months, which really makes me feel a lot of heart."
"Where, the old lady feels sorry for her grandson, it's too late for us to envy."
Jia Baoyu found out that Aunt Xue was sitting next to her, and her next head was Baochai. Jia Baoyu looked at Jia's mother again, and suddenly saw four pairs of beautiful big eyes, looking directly at him.
Jia Baoyu's heart was shocked. Sanchun ...... Daiyu!
"By the way, Baoyu, you went on a long trip, why don't you meet your sisters? They are always worried about you! ”
Mother Jia saw Jia Baoyu staring at the sisters, so she smiled.
Jia Baoyu then stood up, walked to the other side of Jia's mother, and saluted the slightly larger, slightly plump skin, middle figure, cheeks like new li, nose like goose fat, gentle and demure, and amiable: "I've seen the second sister." ”
This is the spring season.
Yingchun stood up and returned the salute.
Jia Baoyu smiled and turned her gaze back to Jia Mu's side.
There, sitting, a thin girl who can still attract everyone's attention even among the many fat powders.
She has two frowning eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy but not happy. The state is full of sorrows, and the disease of the whole body.
Tears are dotted, and delicate panting. Demure like a delicate flower shining on the water, action like a weak willow supporting the wind.
"Second brother, what are you doing, Sister Lin is waiting for you to salute!"
Behind Jia Baoyu, a girl with shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a long figure, a duck egg face like a Baochai, handsome eyes and eyebrows, looking forward to Shenfei, and a forgettable girl stood up and pulled Jia Baoyu from behind.
Jia Baoyu found that Daiyu had already stood up, frowning at this time, with a pair of good-looking brows, and seemed to have a little anger.
Jia Baoyu hurriedly said: "Sister Lin......"
Daiyu was lightly blessed, and immediately sat back beside Jia's mother.
Jia Baoyu stared at her in front of so many people, which made her so embarrassed!
"I've seen the third sister." Jia Baoyu turned around again and rushed to remind him of the Spring Exploration Dao.
Tanchun naturally returned the salute, and Jia Baoyu finally saluted the youngest Xichun.
Suddenly, a hearty female voice said: "Ancestor, they all said that Brother Bao had a soul disorder, and no one in the family could remember it, and even his wife testified." But you see, no one has introduced him, and he has recognized all the people by himself.
Of course, I don't dare to say that my wife is lying, but I'm afraid that Brother Bao has already been completely fine, and he deliberately hides it from his wife, so as to amuse everyone! ”
As soon as her words fell, she saw Jia Baoyu walking towards her. She opened her triangular eyes and looked at him defensively, and then saw Jia Baoyu pointing at her and said to Jia's mother: "Ancestor, who is this?" ”
Everyone: "......"
Suddenly, there was a lot of laughter!
