The Red Mansions

Chapter 863 This jade seems to be broken...

Rongguofu

Following Jia Zheng's arrival, everyone in the wing room was startled, followed the sound, and saw Jia Zheng came in through the curtain, with anger surging on his normally fair face, and his beard trembling slightly.

And in his hand... he held a stick impressively.

It's impossible to describe the menacing momentum, almost looking at Baoyu at a glance, Jia Zheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said, "What a wicked beast!"

Mother Jia was startled when she saw Jia Zheng who was screaming for beating and killing, and she quickly reached out to protect Baoyu in her arms. What to do?"

Seeing this scene, worried that he would do something shocking to the world in a fit of rage, Jia Heng had no choice but to stop Jia Zheng, and said in a low voice, "Second Master, don't let this happen."

Jia Zheng stared at Baoyu closely and said, "Ziyu, this evil beast can never be left behind. Don't stop me. I will kill him today!"

As he said that, he stared at Baoyu with murderous intent in his eyes, and his heart was full of anger.

At this moment, Baoyu felt an extremely strong murderous intent in Jia Mu's arms, trembling all over, huddled in Jia Mu's arms, motionless, suddenly felt a chill rising from the spine, a wave of heat going back and forth in the lower abdomen, Almost scared to pee on the spot.

And Baochai, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Tanchun and others were also frightened by this momentum.

Sister Feng Danfeng's eyes were also a little bit dazed, and she thought to herself, how angry is the second master?

Jia Heng took Jia Zheng's arm and persuaded him: "Second master calm down, Baoyu needs to be disciplined, but minor punishments and major punishments are enough, since the crime does not lead to death."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she also hurriedly said, "Brother Heng said, what did Baoyu do, you want to fight and kill?"

Jia Zheng's face was filled with anger, and he said, "Ziyu, don't you just keep protecting this evil animal. It's fine for him to be stubborn in the house. I can still tolerate him, but how can such a big bad family be counted?" compatible?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the hall changed slightly, and they were a little confused.

How do you say that the big bad clan is lucky?
Jia Mu's complexion changed, and then she cried, "Brother Heng, let him beat me and Baoyu to death."

Then, hugging Baoyu who was already stunned, he cried, "My Baoyu, Baoyu."

At this time, Mrs. Wang saw panic on her fair face, and she knelt down before Jia Zheng, hugged Jia Zheng's leg, and cried, "Master, I only have this little bone and blood left, so if I beat him to death." He, why not beat me to death together, and go to Huangquan Road together to be a companion."

At this time, Jia Zheng saw this vaguely familiar scene, felt like a knife was twisting for a moment, and said: "Mother, this evil animal is a disaster, and we must not keep it."

Jiamu's eyelids twitched, her tearful face was full of anger, and she said, "Brother Heng didn't say anything, what harm are you talking about?"

Said, looking at Jia Heng, with pleading eyes and said: "Brother Heng, Baoyu was entrusted to you to discipline at the beginning, if you want to beat or scold, you just come here, just now, you said Baoyu, Laoshen and Baoyu him Mother didn't say a word of no, if you hit him, we will never have another word."

Jia Mu's eyes are bright, and she gradually understands the key points. It is probably because of Jia Heng's words just now.

At this time, Sister Feng in the house also approached, persuading: "Second Master, Brother Bao is just a little bit naughty, let Brother Heng discipline him more, why did he get so angry?"

At this time, Jia Heng took advantage of the situation and took the stick from Jia Zheng's hand, and persuaded him: "Second Master, calm down first, Baoyu, discipline yourself well, you don't need to be so angry."

Naturally, beating Baoyu severely was not his purpose. His real intention was to keep Baoyu in the school to study in the future, and after this incident, Baoyu probably couldn't stay in the back house at all.

In a flash of thought, Li Wan stared at Li Wan, who was frowning with beautiful eyebrows and slightly pursed pink lips, and met a pair of Wen Ning's beautiful eyes with a little panic for some reason, and said in his mouth: "Sister Zhu, you Also help the second wife up."

Li Wan responded, and also came to his senses, and quickly squatted down to help his mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang.

Seeing this, Aunt Xue also helped her, and immediately looked at Mother Jia, persuading her, "Old lady, it's not worth getting so angry, go and rest first."

Jia Heng said: "Come here, take Baoyu to Mengpo Zhai's study first, and stay in the study, don't let him run around first, and deal with it later."

At this time, when Jia Mu saw this, she opened her mouth, sighed, let go of Baoyu, and handed him over to Lin Zhixiao's family to lead him into the study.

Jia Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed, looked at Jia Heng worriedly, and said: "Brother Heng, if Baoyu is not killed, how can I have the face to meet Ruhai when his uncle arrives?"

When Jia's mother heard this, she said angrily, "Don't bother you. When Yu'er's father comes over, I, an old woman, will pour tea for him and apologize!"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Sister Feng, and said: "Young girl Feng, don't forget to look for Yu."

Sister Feng regained her composure and said hurriedly: "Old lady, don't worry, this jade is in the house and can't go anywhere."

Jia Heng said: "Third sister, help the second master to go to the hall first, and we will talk later."

On the other side, Baochai and Xiangyun were about to help Daiyu out of the wing, and exchanged glances with the young man. Jia Heng nodded, staring at Daiyu, whose eyes were red and tearful, and his heart welled up. pity.

Now is not the time to comfort Daiyu.

At this time, suddenly a servant girl got up from the ground and said in surprise: "I found it, I found it."

As soon as this remark came out, Jia Mu, who was about to leave with the cotton curtain, turned back and asked anxiously, "Where is Yu? Where is it?"

It can be said that Tongling Baoyu was indeed regarded by Jia Mu as an auspicious object. The so-called lifeblood of Baoyu is not a joke.

Mrs. Wang just got up and looked eagerly.

And at this moment, the maid was holding a piece of psychic jade with other chains in her hand, with a bitter look on her face, and said in a crying voice: "Old lady, this jade... this jade, it seems Broken."

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang: "..."

broke?How could jade be broken?Since she was a child, Baoyu has been in a state of insanity... Well, no, I just don't know how many times I fell, how can it be broken?

Sister Feng also looked at the jade in the maid's hand, and Dan Feng's eyes under the curved eyebrows were full of disbelief.

Is this still broken?
Under Baochai's emerald-feathered willow eyebrows, her almond eyes were slightly moist, and a strange color flashed in her eyes.

The jade is broken?He couldn't help but think of the golden lock in his arms, well, the golden lock is no better than jade, no matter how you drop it, it won't break, and no one will break it.

At this moment, even Daiyu blinked her starry eyes, and a sense of absurdity suddenly surged in her heart.

Grandmother wouldn't kill her, would she?
The servant girl held the jade in both hands and handed it to Ping'er, and then took it to Sister Feng. Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang hurried over to look at it.

I saw a few cracks suddenly appearing from the middle of the "Don't lose, don't forget, immortal life and prosperity", like a spider's web.

Well, how should I put it, it's like a phone with a broken screen.

In fact, no matter how strong a stone is, it can't withstand being dropped many times, and the Tongling Baoyu is just a piece of rock, so it is normal for Baoyu to have some cracks.

In short, broken, not completely broken.

Jia Heng's eyes under the sword eyebrows were fixed, and he also caught a glimpse of a few cracks on the jade, and his heart was filled with surprise.

There are some cracks in the psychic jade?This world shouldn't be some extraordinary world, right?

Jia Mu's face was ugly, she felt her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and said anxiously, "How can this jade be broken? This is Baoyu's life...how can I do it?"

It is said that jade is the lifeblood of precious jade, but now the jade is broken, although it is not completely broken, but there are cracks, is this an ominous sign?

Mrs. Wang is also a little flustered at the moment, only feeling that she has no master.

And Baoyu also looked at the jade, his heart was a little thumping, and he thought to himself, did you fall too hard just now?

Jia Heng's face was light, and he said: "Old lady, let Baoyu drop this jade once or twice, I'm afraid it will be completely broken into slag."

After pondering for a moment, he looked at Jiamu and said, "If you are born with a jade, you will have a magical body, but Baoyu is not young now, and you can't be good at writing or martial arts. What's the reason? I'm afraid this jade may not be a good thing. In my opinion, it is precisely because of these pretentious auspicious auspiciousness that the old lady is so rare, spoiling and pampering Baoyu in everything, which makes Baoyu not as good as Brother Zhu in literary talent, hardworking and studious, and was selected as a scholar when he was young."

Hearing the young man mention his husband, Li Wan had a strange look in his eyes, and quickly lowered his shy eyes.

Last night...it was just a dream.

As Jia Heng was talking, he suddenly looked at Mrs. Wang, whose face was pale and her lips were trembling, and asked with a smile, "Is that the reason?"

Mrs. Wang: "???"

It was as if a dagger had been pierced into Mrs. Wang's heart, and when she met that cold gaze, she suddenly felt a sense of shame that had been seen through.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed rapidly.

Aunt Xue pinched the handkerchief, her eyes flickered, and she realized something in her heart. I am afraid that my sister's son's jade is the same as that of Bao girl. I found it after looking for a craftsman, and used it to pretend to be a god... for auspiciousness.

Being stared at by strange eyes from all around, Mrs. Wang's face was pale and red, and she said: "You...you, I don't know what you are talking about."

Does this mean that she deliberately stuffed her son's mouth with fake stones to fake auspiciousness and play tricks?

Jia Heng didn't force Mrs. Wang to ask why, and asked: "Old lady, since the jade has cracks, just find a craftsman to repair it. It's just for auspiciousness, and it's not a rare thing. It's a mess every day." The house is restless, if Baoyu works hard, honors his ancestors and honors his ancestors, and lives up to the family tradition of loyalty in the Rongguo Mansion, then Baoyu is a rare thing."

Jia Mu's expression changed, she held the jade in her hand, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this moment, a group of daughters-in-law and girls supported Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang to leave the courtyard where Daiyu lived and went to Rongqing Hall.

At this moment, a riot of throwing jade with precious jade gradually came to an end.

However, the cracks in the psychic gem were like a haze on Jiamu's head.

Jia Heng came to the small side hall of the back house, looked at Jia Zheng who was sitting there drinking tea and sighing, and said, "Master Zheng."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng looked up at the person who came, and said, "Zi Yu."

Jia Heng sat down, looked at Tanchun, and said in a low voice, "Third sister, pour me a cup of tea."

Tanchun responded softly, lifted the teapot and poured Jia Heng a cup.

Jia Heng looked at Jia Zheng and said, "Baoyu has actually improved somewhat compared to last year. At least he is still studying in school now. The second master doesn't have to feel too guilty."

In fact, in a few days it will be the school holiday of years ago, otherwise Baoyu would not be able to stay at home all the time.

Jia Zheng sighed: "Ziyu, Baoyu is not a child. I don't know how to explain to Ruhai that he is messing around like this."

Looking at the young man in front of him, he is only one or two years older than Baoyu, but he is already a first-class lord of the Han Dynasty, an important minister in the court, the thigh of the emperor on the inside, and the cadre of the country on the outside.

Jia Heng said: "Second Master, you don't have to blame yourself. Uncle Lin has been an official in Yangzhou for several years, patrolling the salt affairs, and running around because of the affairs of the country. He is magnanimous, magnanimous, and reasonable. He will not feel bad about it."

Jia Zheng let out a long sigh and blamed himself: "After all, I was negligent in the housekeeping in the past, which made Baoyu so lawless and cultivated such a stubborn temper."

Seeing this, Jia Heng was silent for a moment. In fact, Jia Zheng still had some responsibility.

After thinking about it, he persuaded him: "Second master, Baoyu will go to school to study for a year or two, and he will be fine after he gets married and started a business. Before I got married and started a business, I was also impetuous and didn't know what to do."

Hearing this, Jia Zheng's heart moved slightly, and then his eyes lit up, and he said, "What Ziyu said is true, maybe after he gets married, his temperament will be calmer."

Jia Heng nodded and said: "In the past two years, the second master and the old lady will help him choose carefully."

Should Xia Jingui promise to Baoyu?Mrs. Dou Dou Wang?

Jia Zheng was silent for a while, and then asked: "Just now, Ziyu mentioned that Ruhai will go to Beijing to report on his duties, will it be of great use?"

Jia Heng said: "I have been patrolling salt in Yangzhou for several years. Now that the new system of salt law is popular in Yangzhou, the national money has increased countlessly. Uncle should also be promoted to pay for his hard work."

When Jia Zheng heard the words, he was slightly happy, and said with emotion: "Ruhai is from a Kejia family and has excellent talents. Now that he has arrived in the capital, he can also make great achievements."

Lin Ruhai is Jia Zheng's brother-in-law, so Jia Zheng naturally knows his character and talent well.

Jia Heng put down the teacup and said softly: "When I went to Jinling, I visited Mrs. Zhu's father. Now he is at home, teaching the children of the family. It is a pity that Mrs. Li is a famous official and lives at home. "

Now the main business of the whole big man is not martial arts, but martial arts. When the time is right, he will prepare for Li Shouzhong's recovery.

Jia Zheng nodded and praised: "Brother Li is pure and filial. He can be a model for the world's scholars. Now that the filial piety period has expired, he should also serve the state society."

The two briefly talked about political affairs for a while, and Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "Baoyu first went to the ancestral hall to plead guilty, so you don't have to worry too much."

Jia Zheng sighed, and said, "You son of a bitch, Ziyu will have to worry more about it in the future."

He can't manage it now, it's most suitable for Ziyu to take care of it.

Jia Heng nodded, and told Tanchun a few words to order his servants to take Baoyu to the ancestral hall, and then hurried to Rongqing hall.

At this moment, Mother Jia was holding Daiyu's hand and talking, saying: "Yu'er, he is a demon king of the world. You grew up together, and it's not that you don't know his temperament. He is usually stubborn, and he will apologize to you later." .”

Daiyu, accompanied by Baochai, Baoqin and Xiangyun, has a gloomy expression on her face and tears in her eyes.

Second Brother Bao has the temper of a devil king, but who knows her temper?

Jia Mu said: "Your elder brother Heng asked you to take you to Dongfu, and I can't bear you. Why don't you go and live with me, so I can feel relieved."

She still hopes that this granddaughter and Baoyu will have a good marriage in the future, it is not normal for the young couple to quarrel, how can it be as scary as Brother Heng said?

Hearing this, Daiyu said in a soft and gentle voice with some tears, "Grandmother, I was at the mansion, and I was mostly angry with Brother Bao. Now I go to Ningguo Mansion. There are fewer contacts and no disputes. If it can be peaceful and smooth, let me go to Dongfu."

With such a commotion today, she no longer wants to stay here in the West Mansion, and she went to the East Mansion to be closer to Big Brother Heng.

When Jia Mu heard the words, her face paused, she sighed, and said, "It's hard for my frowner."

Madam Wang frowned, feeling a little unspeakably irritated.

Well, how should I put it, in the past Mrs. Wang was still debating whether to choose hairpin or Dai, and she even disliked Daiyu who often made troubles with her son. , but now that Daiyu is gone, Mrs. Wang's sense of loss begins to gain the upper hand.

Needless to say, what Jia Heng said earlier, Lin Ruhai's return to Beijing to report on his duties will be of great use.

And just when Mrs. Wang couldn't tell what it was like, a nanny's voice came from outside Rongqing Hall, saying: "Master Heng is here."

The few people in Rongqing's mansion who were talking were all shocked, they got up a little bit, and looked up at the young man who came from outside.

Jia Heng entered the Rongqing Hall, at this moment, Mrs. Wang looked at the young man with a slight coldness in her eyes, if this man hadn't said that Baoyu didn't know how to be polite, and talked about things with Lin's brother-in-law, how could the master be so angry?
"Brother Heng, how is Baoyu's father?" Mother Jia asked with concern.

With Brother Heng around, Baoyu should not have been severely beaten.

Jia Heng said: "The second master is fine, Baoyu has already gone to kneel in the ancestral hall."

After speaking, she sat down, looked at Daiyu who was beside her, and said in a warm voice: "Old lady, sister Lin will live in the East Mansion from now on, and the garden will be able to move in a few days, and sister Lin and the sisters in Fuzhong will live in."

When Jia Mu heard the words, she hurriedly said, "What about Baoyu? Do you also live in it?"

Daiyu: "..."

Where does she go, where does Second Brother Bao follow, right?Do you have to let Second Brother Bao piss her off?

"Old lady, Baoyu will study in school from now on, and he is not young anymore, what does he look like mixed in the pile of makeup all day?" Jia Heng looked indifferent, and asked instead: "The last time Jin Chuan threw himself into the well, did it happen?" Hasn't the old lady learned her lesson yet? If you do something disgraceful to the lintel again, where will the second master be, and where will my Jia family be?"

When Jia's mother heard this, her face changed suddenly, and she sighed, "Baoyu... Forget it, let him stay in the school and come back normally."

In fact, ever since Jia Heng said to his face that Baoyu was rare to Jiamu because of his "auspiciousness", the habit of doting and arrogating Jiamu for more than ten years already contained a hint of accusing Jiamu of ineffective education of Baoyu, and now it is even more so. Undeniably aggressive.

But Jia's mother didn't feel too uncomfortable, not only because of today's incident, but also because Jia Heng set out for the clan and Baoyu.

It's not the elders of the clan who oppressed the elite children of the Ye, Fang, and Chu clans...

Of course, it can be said that since Jia Heng became a Marquis, since the general trend, as long as Jia Mu is not named, he has obtained the absolute right to speak in many matters.

To put it bluntly, Jia Heng's officials were conspired by Jia Heng. What else can Jia's mother say?

Jia Heng pondered for a moment, then said: "Old lady, you don't know how angry Baoyu is with the second master? Baoyu is not young. Even if he doesn't study the imperial examination at this age, he at least knows something about official career, economics, and human suffering. Old lady If you protect him, can you still protect him for the rest of your life? Otherwise, the West Mansion really depends on Lang Geer alone to support the family?"

Listening to Jia Heng's words, Mother Jia's complexion changed, she sighed, and was speechless for a while.

Jia Heng said: "It's like this beforehand. Sister Lin will be taken to Dongfu now. After lunch, I will go to the palace to face the saint."

Then, looking at Daiyu who was sitting with Baochai, she said softly, "Sister Lin, let's go."

"En." Daiyu responded softly, turned to look at Jiamu, her gaze was as bright as water, and softly called: "Grandmother."

At this moment, Jia Mu looked at Daiyu, and she was also moved with true feelings, and said with tears in her eyes, "Yu'er, I have wronged you. I will take you back after a while."

Daiyu: "..."

Jia Heng's face paused, and he thought to himself, maybe Daiyu is thinking that this trip will mean that the dragon enters the sea, the tiger enters the mountain forest, and she will never be restrained again!

At this moment, Aunt Xue looked at the boy, her eyes flickered, and then she turned to look at her own daughter, her lips moved, and she finally swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

When Brother Heng comes back from Miansheng, she will help her to ask about girl Bao.

Just like that, Jia Heng, Baochai, Baoqin, Xiangyun and others took Daiyu back to Ningguo Mansion.
