Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Pan nerd talked about his baby who didn't even have a name (Yi Zhe was named after he was three years old), he was so eloquent, and together with Lian Er, which businessman was worthy of his sister.

Baoyu became the background, and when he heard the students "letting go", he got up and said, "I'll go and have a look, lest they come over."

This time, Shan Pinren and Liu Xianglian took the lead in the county test.Uh, poor Jialan Jiajun is unlucky, or God can't understand a certain villain cheating, and the second young master who got the golden finger failed again in the government test last year. Only when I got back the test paper did I know that it was a typo : Scientific examination is not a game, don't even think about it if you make a mistake.

To put it another way, it means that if you don't have a solid foundation in blue bacteria, you are really familiar with it, and you won't write typos.Or lack of experience in taking the exam. After all, the conditions of the government exam require strong psychological adaptability.

According to the old rules, students pass through Jing County in the third year of junior high school.At this time, Liu Juzi was leading the examinees to jump in the snow, and Shan Juren, as Baoyu expected, was walking towards Lian Er's residence.

Don't say that Shan is deceptive and doesn't know how to wink. The quasi-head of the Rong Mansion and a certain scholar are here, what else can you do except to test the candidates?

Baoyu stepped forward to greet him and cupped his hands: "Old man, the Chinese New Year is full of blessings and prosperity, great happiness and great blessings, and everything goes well. Bring the lucky year!"

Shan Pingren returned the gift with a smile: "Congratulations! I said that the sun is clearing early in the morning, and it is snowing again at noon. There must be a happy arrival. It turns out that it is the second generation brother! Two days ago, the mansion rewarded a basket of silver scorpions. It is a happy event." Those who have entered the imperial examination, some are Ruyi, some are plum-blossom-shaped, and some are Begonia-shaped, they are all charming eyes, and all the students are delighted from ear to ear, but they were waiting here, and they want to get it back!"

Baoyu claimed that this was his idea. He took Shan Juren's hand, and the two walked towards the inner courtyard talking and laughing.There are geothermally heated houses in the inner courtyard, which are much warmer than those in the outer courtyard.Gai Yinlian said that he wants to live a simple life. His house only has a heated kang but no floor heating.

When all the students saw Bao Xiucai, they rushed over to congratulate him.Baoyu clapped his hands together: "Don't ask for tricks, I am a poor scholar, and I will die if I ask for money! And wait for your head Lian to finish his work, and ask him for it."——Today is a temporary idea, and Lian Er didn't bring enough money to keep the year. Kaizi.On the contrary, Xue Pan carried a big bag when he went out, and he was willing to give away the money, so he could be generous with him.

Everyone laughed, and Baoyu said to Liu Xianglian, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's buy some good food later. Let's have a drink in the evening."

Liu Xianglian shook her head with a smile: "No, I have to watch the night. Whoever kicks the quilt to catch the cold in three or nine days is not for fun."

Baoyu asked what medicinal materials he had prepared, and if he wanted to, he had to say good luck to Doctor Bao, who would accompany him all the way when he left home in the first month of the lunar year.

After walking around for a while, it was getting late, so he led his servants back to Lian's second room, where the two had drawn up a list of sisters and wives.

At the top of the list is Hu Anlan, the eldest son of Hu Silai, a silk and satin company. This son followed his father on the scene early on. Both father and son are Xue Pan's friends.The Hu family is not an imperial merchant, and their wealth is naturally not as good as that of the Xue family, but the Hu family is a native of the capital, and it has been run for generations, and its foundation is not weak.More importantly, there are several scholars in the Hu family, and there is also a Juren. These people rely on the money donated by the descendant Hu Si to be a small official.Ding Zhizhi's successor Ding chose a little daughter-in-law. Hu Anlan turned 15 years old and hadn't been engaged yet.

Hu Silai, Lian Er and Xue Pan were good friends. Lian Er said that he would go to Hu's house tomorrow to find out the news, and ordered Baoyu to report to the old lady about Wang Ziteng's "persecution" of him.

The next day Baoyu went back to the mansion, entered the Xijiao gate, and went to Jiamu's courtyard to "report the good news", saying that his second uncle had asked about something.

Mother Jia smiled when she heard this, and scolded her in her heart: You are a bastard, it is clearly the fault of your daughter of the royal family. Go to Jinling to pick up my wife.In the first month of the lunar year, the river was frozen, and Lian'er had to travel by land, traveling thousands of miles in the cold and snowy environment, how hard it was!

Because of this anger, her old man rushed to accept Xing Xiuyan for Lian Er on the Lantern Festival.

You say time is too tight?It's just a concubine, what do you want to pay attention to, and the old lady doesn't want to embarrass Xing's parents, so just use the Lantern Festival family banquet to serve wine.In this way, there are not many Japanese family relatives, and no foreign guests.

On the day when Baoyu returned to his mansion, he spent the night out and had to explain to Mrs. Wang, the lord of the government.

Mr. Zheng was easy to handle, he just made a nonsense about how his second uncle cared about his studies, and then he thought about his brothers, nephews and nephews who left home to prepare for the exam, so he took a trip to Jing County.

Mr. Zheng has been taking care of him for almost three months. Although his recovery is slow due to his age, he can already walk a few steps with a cane.The scars on his face are not very obvious, and Qing Ke, who is full of mood and friendship (that is, super flattering), does not need Baoyu to accompany him all day long. He told Baoyu to just read his books with his heart, so he skipped a few general teachings .

He didn't dare to be sloppy about Mrs. Wang's place, it was the mother's home of the fake mother, so don't wear clothes someday.

Tanchun still followed Mrs. Wang, but Baoyu dismissed her with a blind finger, and had a secret conversation with the fake mother in the back room.

Regarding his own involvement in this matter, he explained: "Firstly, we bumped into each other. Cousin Pan looked pitiful, and if he didn't help to make a difference, Second Uncle didn't look good. Second, I think Cousin Bao has entered the palace. I will go to the empress, the eldest sister is already in a difficult situation, how can I give her the help she wants? If she feels resentment, it may hinder the empress."

Mrs. Wang sneered repeatedly. She knew that her good sister was big-hearted. She colluded with Lian Er and his wife to deceive the princess into marrying her.Don't even think about it, there has never been a merchant woman concubine in this dynasty.Leaving aside family background, and only talking about character, talent and appearance, how can the lowly Baochai compare with Yuanchun?Even Yuanchun was just suffering in a palace shaped like a cold palace.

After calming down her heart, she said with a light smile, "Pan'er is a little bit hearty, but Ji Bao is also a high-minded girl. Don't talk too much about her marriage. You don't have to complain."

Bao Yulian claimed it was, and said: "What do I know at my age? She has a mother, a brother and a sister-in-law, and Lian's second brother who is in charge. I just sat with her for a while, and then I went to find Shan Juren and they talked."

Mrs. Wang nodded, squinting her eyes and snorting coldly: "Lian Er is also a fool, their husband and wife have made many troubles, regardless of face and decency."

Baoyu couldn't answer the conversation, so she turned to talk about how many silver coins she had kowtowed to her second uncle and aunt, and how she kept her hands on her hands so that her brothers, nephews and nephews would not scrape them away, which made Mrs. Wang laugh and reprimand her again and again.

After gossiping for a while and going out, he saw Tanchun standing on the porch joking with the little girls, he walked over to express his concern: "The wind is cold, carefully blow your face, and go back to the house."

Tanchun thanked her, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Lian's second brother went to pick up Second Mistress after the Lantern Festival. I thought that Second Mistress was stubborn, so should I send a letter to say goodbye?"

This is the whole house knows?Baoyu once again deeply admired the speed at which people in the Rong Mansion spread gossip, and said slowly: "Cousin Feng and your sisters have always been close, and you should be concerned about her. It's just that this matter is not that simple. Cousin Feng has always been upright, isn't it? We can talk a lot."

Pu Chunsi and Sister Feng sighed involuntarily because they had to be reasonable and not let others, and unreasonable to be reasonable.

She really didn't want to talk about it, but when Xing Xiuyan lived in the old lady's yard, Xichun and Daiyu were worried for Sister Feng. .She didn't want to speak to Mrs. Wang, so she went to her second brother.In her private heart, she envied Sister Feng: If she wanted to be scolded, she could be scolded and beaten if she wanted to, and if she wanted to live in her mother's house, her husband had to be submissive to pick her up. How many women in the world can live as they please?

On the side of Xue's house, Xue Pan didn't go home directly after returning to the city, but went to the back street of Rongfu to arrest the "tiger wolf doctor" who had always been friendly.

As he expected, Xue Wang was indeed "sick of qi".Xue Biao was full of shame, and his cousin said, "No entry from outside, no exit from inside", but his aunt always wanted to see a doctor when she fell ill, and he couldn't stop her aunt who insisted on hiring a doctor she knew well.Seeing him take out a letter: "Ming Long and the others found this from He Langzhong. He Langzhong is still detained in the outer courtyard. Yesterday he sent people to his house to say that he drank too much and rested at our house."

Xue Pan sneered: "Withhold the gold and silver that my mother rewarded him, and tell him to go! Tell him that your eldest aunt is suffering from hysteria and is going to sell her daughter into slavery. Please ask him to accumulate some evil deeds and stay out of his business. If you can't get along with me, I will There is no other way, I will take the victim who was tortured by this quack doctor to his clinic to seek justice."

Xue Biao only responded, and cousin Xindao really made progress, not to mention smashing the medical clinic, it was "seeking justice".

No matter how good the Hun people are, the Hunjin is still there.A certain Dalai led Hu Langzhong into Xue Wang's house, and instead of greeting his mother, the first thing he did was to dismiss his daughter-in-law, and said in a playful way: "Mother~ son~ hey~~ What are you doing behind the screen? Hidden tightly, the hem of the skirt is exposed, this is not abiding by women's morals! The mother is not safe, the elder brother is sick, and the mother is anxious, and if she is not sick, she will get sick. You add the most serious crime of unfilial piety! Big brother go down."

Hu Langzhong hurriedly turned his back to the corner of the room, to show that he ignored the insolence.Yingchun was used to listening to orders when she was a child, and she dared not disobey her husband's orders, so she immediately led her eldest brother and her nannies and maids to open the way.

Xue Wang was angry: "You deceived evil! I raised you for nothing! People say that if you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, you will harm your daughter-in-law too! Good! Good! You are old and capable. You are so majestic, I have pity on my adopted son who has become an enemy, and our mothers have become a thorn in your side..."

Xue Pan fell on his knees and kowtowed: "How can I bear my mother's words? My son heard that my mother is not well, so I hurried to invite Dr. Hu for fear of delay. Dr. Hu, please see my mother."

Imperial Physician Hu is very capable, he doesn't need to check the pulse, just observe the doctor, and he can talk about the terminology, the core is Xue Wang's senile dementia, so he should be locked up in the house for rest.Xue Wang fell on her back in anger, and the maids and women hurriedly rubbed her chest and beat her back.

Baochai also hid behind the screen, and the outsider dared not come out in the presence, so anxious and choked with breath, he began to cry.

Xue Pan's heart suddenly softened. It's not easy for a foreigner to persuade his sister, so he simply refused to listen, and pulled Hu Langzhong to write medical records in the next room.It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, he would have promised to marry his younger sister regardless of Xue Wang's intentions, but because he couldn't stop his heart, his younger sister almost became a maid today: I really want to sell myself, there is no small election this year, Baochai will follow the general election The noble daughters of the palace can only enter the palace as personal maids, and they must first sign a contract of sale.Because Mrs. Wang Ziteng valued Baochai and wanted her to meet some noble ladies who might be useful in the future during the Chinese New Year, her status as a slave was not suitable, so she didn't sign it yet.

But when Xue Pan walked to the door, his heart was not going well, he turned his head and said bitterly: "My son is the son of Ziwei, the Xue family did not sell himself into slavery! If so, I will have no face to see my ancestors in the ground after my son dies!"

Xue Wang was so angry that he beat the couch, so what about Xin Dao Nu?Those selected into the palace are all slaves!The eldest daughter of the Rong Mansion is the queen of the state, how can she have the glory she has today if she is not a slave?I hate such a clear truth, I have said it again and again, but the fool still doesn't understand it!

Baochai was very careful, and felt that her elder brother's words and deeds were not what he could possibly have, and for a moment she had the same thought as Uncle Wang: Rongfu doesn't want me to enter the palace for the sake of a virtuous concubine!

Thinking of this, she hated her teeth so much that she couldn't be reconciled, so she came out with a pale face, waved back the maid, and whispered to her mother: "Brother has fallen into a barrier, he has a temperament of being soft rather than hard, so let's live with him." explain."

Xue Wang said in his heart that I was crying and begging, isn't it soft enough?Sudden suspicion: "Breakthrough? You mean Brother Lian..."—— Lian Ershan put on a show, and has been following Baochai's words in her marriage, and she hadn't suspected him before.As for Baochai's plan to enter the palace without first telling Lian Er, it's not that he is not needed, and he is also afraid that things will not be kept secret. Lian Er and Xue Pan are "like one person".

Baochai lowered her eyelids: "At first, I thought that my entry into the palace would only be beneficial to Lian's second brother, and he shouldn't be a hindrance. But after all, the Rong family has not separated, and it will be separated in the future. I am afraid that Lian's second brother is also looking forward to Xue's family. You can only rely on him."

Xue Wang sat upright awkwardly, grabbed her hand and said, "My son! As long as your brother understands half of you, I don't have to worry about it!"

Baochai smiled: "Brother is just confused for a while, why not break it up and tell him." ——Xue Pan is upright, loyal and not good at hiding. Before that, they dared not tell him not to rely too much on Lian Er, for fear that he would There are traces in front of Lian Er, after all, Lian Er is leaning in front of him.After she entered the palace, she had to rely on Lian Er to take care of Xue's family before she came out.The prince's position is too high, and he dare not bother with other trivial matters.

The mother and daughter thought it over, fearing that Xue Wang would not be able to call someone, Baochai ordered his eldest maid, Yinger, to invite Xue Pan to her boudoir.

Fake stones are right. Baochai’s women’s precepts are first-class, and she never commented on her marriage. When Xue Pan asked her, she always said shyly and annoyed, “My daughter shouldn’t even hear these words.” , "Since ancient times, the parents ordered the matchmaker to say that when the father is away, the elder brother and the mother are the masters."Pan Dadai listened obediently and felt pity for his younger sister, thinking that it was because his mother was out of tune.

Why do you think Baochai pretends to be like this in front of her brother?Cha, how could she have a conflict with her only real brother?If the affection fades away, the elder brother will not think of her everywhere in the future.Anyway, Xue Wangshi will change her opinion into her own and say it for her, and there is no need to argue with his stubborn brother.

This time it was still the same, Xue Pan ran into his sister's boudoir and saw tears in his sister's eyes, wanting to speak.

He couldn't help stepping forward, coaxing softly: "Good girl, don't cry! Don't worry, brother will never let you go through hardships, and will definitely talk about a good marriage for you..."

Being too eager, he didn't notice that the maids and wives retreated quietly and closed the door.The Xue family's backyard is completely controlled by Xue Wang's family, and Yingchun can't even control her own yard.

Wang Xue didn't want to hear the nonsense that his stupid son had repeated a thousand times, so he turned out from behind the curtain, crying sadly, "My son! My son, you are still dreaming!"

Xue Pan opened his eyes and saw that his mother had a plain white face, probably because she hadn't applied any makeup, and there were many wrinkles... something was wrong, her mother's gorgeous clothes didn't fit her well, and she seemed to have lost weight in the past two days.

He once again softened his heart, fell down on the chair, pretended to be tough and said in a gentle voice: "Don't force me, I won't respond no matter what!"

Seeing his stubborn appearance, Wang Xue became angry, and wished he could give him a scolding, reluctantly endured it, and explained the situation in the Rong Mansion in a soft voice, clearly stating that after the separation, the big house with a title could not hold on .As for Lian Er's selfishness, she didn't mention a word about it, her son knew it, so she definitely wouldn't listen to it, but anyone who said Lian Er's was not about him would jump off his feet, and she had to talk about the most obvious things.

Xue Pan still couldn't listen, got up and said, "Mother often says that children are confused, and mother is the one who is confused. Well, the lady is the second room lady of Rongfu, and Baoyu and I are on good terms! Uncle Lian and Baoyu are even more brothers, and Baoyu My aunt and uncle look down on us with their eyes upturned, but they are already old. In a few years, the second room will be Bao Yulan'er. Don't take it too seriously. Why do women worry about these things? So incompetent? Mother is throwing all her son's face, heart, liver and lungs on the ground! My son has already married and established a business, and your old man has grandchildren. Wouldn't it be good for mother to enjoy the wealth and honor?" After saying that, he fled away.

Xue Wangshi was so angry that he could hardly stand still, but he didn't see his daughter coming to help him and persuade him. He turned his head to look, and was surprised to see her daughter's distorted face.

Baochai hates her so much, new and old hatred wells up in her heart!She could see it clearly: it was not Jia Lian who was closely related to Xue's family, but the villain Jing Baoyu!He should have understood earlier that it was Baoyu who brought him back from the second uncle's mansion, only Baoyu, only the second room of Rongfu would not be happy to see him enter the palace!

The author has something to say: Pan idiot: Labor and management are incompetent?It's been a long time since my sister's marriage can't be settled?Then try it for you.
