Chapter Ninety-Eight: Breaking Jade
Rongxi Hall, East Wing Transept.
Although it is in spring, the weather is still cool.
On the east and west sides of the kang, half-old blue satin backrests are still covered.
There is a kang table in the middle, with tea, melon seeds and other things.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue sat at two ends and talked about family life.
After listening to Aunt Xue's words, Mrs. Wang was stunned for a while, and then said with a slight doubt: "I remember in a trance, in the first two years, Brother Cong said that he had not yet learned to compose poetry, and now he can make such good poems?"
Really a good word? ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "You don't see what the baby girl likes to become, it is the first word since this dynasty." It's ......"
Mrs. Wang said, "What is it?" ”
Aunt Xue said regretfully: "It's just for an Oiran to do, it's not very good." When people inquired again, why did he stand out for an Oiran and expose his own origins. I'm afraid it won't make people laugh at it......"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she couldn't help frowning slightly when she thought of Jia Cong's biological mother.
In fact, don't say that it is this era, even after a few hundred years, if you hear that whose biological mother is a lost footing girl, others will "treat you differently".
What's more, it is a time when etiquette is strict?
Mrs. Wang said lightly: "Fortunately, it's a boy......"
Aunt Xue smiled: "It's not! In this regard, the men are much better than us women. If it is a daughter's family, it will be amazing, and people will be picky in the future. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled and changed the topic: "How is Bao Yatou doing these days?" ”
Aunt Xue sighed and said, "It looks much better today, so I went to talk to their sisters, and eighty percent of them said that poem."
In the past few years, although the Xue family has not lacked gold or silver, it has lacked pillars in the end.
After the old man passed, the Xue family deteriorated.
When his second uncle is gone, he will be completely gone.
The Xue family is also a big family, although it is not as good as the twenty rooms of the Jia family, there are also eight people, and they are messy.
Bao Yatou is an ambitious person, and she was about to enter the palace, and there can be a feared one in the family.
I didn't think about it, because of the little problem when I was a child, I actually crossed it out.
It's natural that I'm a mother, but she's not good at it......"
As he spoke, tears rolled down his eyes.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang frowned and said, "Where did it come to this?" With our close relatives here, who can bully your mother? ”
Aunt Xue hurriedly smiled: "It's not that I'm worried about which one will be bullied, it's just that Pan'er is not successful, and there must always be someone in the family."
I didn't think much about it, but the baby girl thought about it a lot. ”
Mrs. Wang was pleased: "Bao Yatou is indeed an excellent girl, like the daughter of our Wang family." ”
As she spoke, she hesitated a little, as if she didn't know whether to say something or not, how shrewd Aunt Xue was, and hurriedly asked what was the matter.
Mrs. Wang said: "There is one thing, I am thinking, I should tell you in advance, you can talk to Bao Yatou."
It's that Brother Cong......"
Aunt Xue said curiously: "He? What does he have to do with us? ”
Mrs. Wang smiled: "It's irrelevant, it's just......
It's funny to say, although this kid is not from a good background, he looks good.
Over the years, I haven't seen a more proud child.
At our age, we know that it is not worth it, but we are afraid that the children are shallow, so we will be tempted to ......"
Aunt Xue smiled dumbly and said, "Is it really that good?" ”
Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "It is said that he is Xiao's mother." ”
Aunt Xue smiled: "I can't guarantee it, but I'm relieved." She's not like that anymore......"
She knows that her daughter is a very sensible person, where would she be tempted by the pride of others?
It's just that she forgot that she and Mrs. Wang don't take a good poem seriously, but Xue Baochai may not be like this......
Aunt Xue was only thinking about other things at the moment, and said strangely: "Sister, it is said? Haven't you seen his mother like yet? ”
Mrs. Wang smiled lightly: "What a lot of trouble back then, Rongfu has almost become a joke in the entire Shenjing."
Only the old lady in the house had seen it, and when she came back, she sent a message, saying that such a bewitching and impolite slut would never be allowed to enter the house for half a step.
So don't talk about me, even the old lady hasn't seen it. ”
Aunt Xue covered her mouth and smiled: "It seems that the woman made the old lady angry back then. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled: "No, if it weren't for that, the eldest master wouldn't be able to live in the East Road Courtyard." ”
Aunt Xue suddenly said, "It's strange that the eldest master hates this son so much...... By the way, I heard that the old man is very sick? ”
Mrs. Wang's face floated with a touch of disgust, and said: "It's all made by herself, and now the torture is not human, so I still beat this and that, and I beat the chain back again, and even the eldest lady suffered." ”
Aunt Xue exclaimed, "Yo, it's still so powerful?" ”
Mrs. Wang lowered her eyes and said, "I heard that the eldest lady is discussing calling Brother Cong'er to come back to serve the sick......
……
Outside the instrument gate, to the south hall.
"Cong'er?!"
After listening to everyone's words, Jia Zheng was pleasantly surprised, and said in disbelief: "You say it's an excellent song made by Cong'er?" ”
Zhao Guoliang is Jia Zheng's boss in the camp Qing official Shi Lang, and laughed and said: "Cun Zhou, in the past, you always thought that the Jia family lacked the spirit of Wenhua."
What about now?
The Jia family has a dragon foal and a phoenix, and it is even more of a young phoenix that is clear of the old phoenix. ”
Qian Mu, Sun Ren, and Li Chang echoed one after another: "It's extremely true, Cun Zhou's long-cherished wish can be tasted, and the host should be invited!" ”
Jia Zheng was overjoyed and said, "What is a host worth?" If it's really a good word, the ten hosts are just waiting for leisure! But I don't know, what kind of good word is it? ”
If it is an ordinary good poem and good words, how can there be such a disturbance?
Jia Zheng thinks that it must be a great good word!
Qian Mu smiled and said, "Cun Zhou, I waited here today, but I didn't come here to disturb you."
I just want to see the young man who scolded the new champion at the Qionglin banquet!
If there is a big sikong, we will not dare to disturb the country.
But then again, I'm still old friends with your nephew......
When he bowed to his teacher two years ago, we were all witnesses.
Today's Guozijian is also a day of rest, why don't you invite your nephew back and let our old friends see each other again? ”
The others laughed in agreement.
When Jia Zheng heard this, where can he say that it is not good? He also desperately wanted to meet Jia Cong in his heart.
In the past two years, Jia Cong has not been able to go home a few times a year, and he has seen very few times.
He didn't know that Jia Cong had grown to this point, so he hurriedly arranged for humanity: "Go to the Guozi Prison House and look for Cong'er to go home!" ”
Zhao Guoliang smiled again: "Cun Zhou, it seems that you don't know as much as us, your nephew is notoriously diligent!"
But whoever knows him, who doesn't know that as long as he doesn't go to school, he will definitely study in the library of the Guozijian? ”
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was really embarrassed.
Qian Mu and the others blamed Zhao Guoliang and said: "The situation in the public gate is complicated, and many things are not something that can be decided by Cunzhou, so why should Lord Zhao be too harsh." ”
When Jia Zheng heard this, he was grateful, and he hurriedly asked someone to invite Jia Cong back to his home.
……
Tanchun Courtyard.
In the main room, the seven sisters sat in a group, gathered around the pear marble bookcase in Tanchun.
The room was quiet, and even the two maids, the waiter and Cuimo, who poured tea and water for everyone, seemed to be infected by the atmosphere, and they were light on their feet.
On the bookcase, only a piece of peach and bamboo paper is placed.
This is brought by Baochai, and what is written on the paper is the magnolia order of "Gift to Apricot Flower Girl".
She also told the story, and at this moment, everyone is still reminiscing about the aftertaste.
"Whew!"
After a long time, Tanchun exhaled a long breath, Jun's eyes were full of brilliance, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "I know!" ”
Seeing her like this, everyone else laughed.
Xiangyun smiled and said, "What do you know? ”
Tanchun raised his chin and said, "I know that if the third brother writes such good words, he will definitely be able to write good poems!" ”
Yingchun smiled: "This is a word, not a poem." ”
Tanchun shook his head and said: "Words are also a kind of poetry, which are included. It's just that the poems are more words, and the words are more lyrical. For us, it doesn't make much difference.
Let's talk ...... again."
As she spoke, she raised her chin again and said, "Such a good word is not inferior to the masterpieces of the Tang and Song dynasties, who cares about anything else?" ”
Baoyu tasted a little: "I don't know, I thought you were sisters." ”
The crowd laughed again.
This is Daiyu's amorous eyes flashed with a touch of self-deprecation, and said quietly: "I was still laughing before, Third Brother Cong is good at everything, but he can't compose poetry."
Now it seems that the poems we make are also worthy of being called poems?
It's time to burn it. ”
The others were silent, only Baochai smiled and said: "What Feng'er said is too absolute, even if this Cong brother makes excellent words, can't we make poetry?"
In the Tang Dynasty, Qinglian Zimei was in the world, didn't there be poems in Wang Majie's paintings? ”
Daiyu chuckled when she heard this, and said, "Good sister, you can also make a poem in the painting, and I will make harmony with this one, and I will bow to you." ”
Xue Baochai: "......"
Baoyu saw that Daiyu had talked about Tian'er to death, and hurriedly said: "That champion is also hateful, Jia Cong did a good job!" Poor Xinghua Niang, entrusted to non-people! However, Jia Cong also has disadvantages in what he does, since he has such a talent, he shouldn't hide it, make such a poem as soon as possible, and everyone can also start a club together, isn't it an elegant thing? ”
Baoyu had good intentions, but Daiyu thought he was relieving Baochai, and when she saw Baochai saying yes with a smile, she became more and more annoyed, sneered, and said, "How dare Third Brother Cong go home to compose poems?" He doesn't have a piece of gold or jade, but like me, he has no mother.
Worthy of writing poems and lyrics with you? ”
As he spoke, he shed tears first.
When Baoyu heard this, her face turned red, her eyes were round, and her anger was in her chest.
He didn't understand, what was he saying wrong?
Seeing that Lin Daiyu was sad and crying, Baoyu shouted, reached out and pulled the piece of Baoyu off the collar, smashed it to the ground, and said angrily: "What Raush bones, I smashed you to finish!" ”
Everyone else was bluffed, and Daiyu cried: "Why bother smashing that dumb object, you might as well smash me......
Baoyu became more and more angry when she heard this, and saw that the jade couldn't be broken, so she wanted to find something to continue smashing, Yingchun, Xichun and others were at a loss, and Tanchun was also extremely worried, if she really broke the jade here, she would not be able to eat it and walk around.
Therefore, he worked hard with Baochai to persuade each other.
But in the end, Xiangyun was more decisive, looking for an opportunity to pick up the jade from the ground and hide it behind him.
Baoyu's face was deformed, and she was not afraid to ask for her, but she didn't give it.
Baoyu said angrily: "What does it have to do with you when I smash my things? ”
Xiangyun sneered: "It's okay if the second brother really wants to smash it, just don't smash it in front of us, if you dare to go to the master to smash it, I will ambush you!" ”
Baoyu: "......"
Almost vomiting blood!
Baochai came over and said angrily: "Yun girl has also learned badly, whether she is serious or not, she is not suffocating." ”
As he was talking, a voice from his mother-in-law came from outside the house: "Is Second Master Bao not there?" There was a visitor in front, and the lord asked him to meet the guest. ”
