Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Daiyu writes birthday invitations, but the guests she invites don't know each other.These years, she kept her mother's filial piety first and then her father's filial piety. She never went out as a guest. When she was out of filial piety, Mrs. Xing and Wang couldn't go out because their husbands were bedridden, and Jia's mother was too old to go out.Girl, she knows the Jia sisters, the Xue family sisters, and Shi Xiangyun, they don't need to use invitation cards; and Wang Xixue, whom she met once, can't come to the draft.Then there is Zhougui (Yinglian), she is the eldest grandmother of the Xia family, and the wives and grandmothers send invitations.

Tanchun is better than Daiyu.But girls usually go out from home when they are 12 years old, and she was only 12 years old last year. Besides, the girls go out as guests mainly for blind dates. She has already engaged, and it is inconvenient to go on some occasions, so she only went out with Mrs. Wang a few times.Fortunately, Mrs. Wang wanted to cultivate her for Baoyu's use, and ordered her to recite the family tree of the officials early on. In addition, she would come out to accompany the concubines when the Rongfu entertained guests, so she was naturally better than Daiyu.

Tanchun explained in detail why it was difficult to invite a girl from a certain family, and Daiyu stroked her forehead: "Grandma, wife, how many things are difficult for you to remember clearly! From now on we will be entangled in this matter every day? I understand Why did Miaoyu become a monk?"

Ping'er sighed: "She can't get entangled if she wants to. The second grandma said that her parents committed crimes, her mother mourned too much and died, and her father Su Xiucai refused to marry BLaBla again..."

Daiyu's eyes straightened: "God, I'm sorry to see that there are such affectionate men in the world, but they are not tolerated in the world."

Tan Chun smiled and shook his head: "I'm dazed! We're not living in drama, it's because of her parents' greed for ink. It would be better if the women at home could persuade them. How can you blame the Su family for not recognizing this in-law. Corruption is not what an official can do. In the year her grandfather was beheaded, many corrupt officials were beheaded at the Meridian Gate. Therefore, you should also be vigilant when you communicate with each other on weekdays. How much does the word 'virtuous' matter, don't wait until you are in charge to do your homework."

Daiyu was terrified and said "be taught".Her friendship with Tanchun is not out of face, it was just hidden in front of others, so as not to hinder Mrs. Wang's eyes.Tanchun is very successful, even if she is young and only knows how to act by looking at Mrs. Wang's eyes, she can't make it difficult for her.After a little while, she realized that Daiyu would be her second sister-in-law if she didn't marry a noble family, and she should be a sister as soon as possible.Otherwise, when Mrs. Wang wants to win over Daiyu, it will not be so easy given Daiyu's intelligence and personality.

This time Daiyu's birthday banquet included not only the family members of military officials, but also family members of civil officials.The military officers were Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang who drew up a list for Jiamu to read, and the civil servants came from those families who gave gifts when Jiamu went to Qingxuguan for a funeral in autumn.

Mrs. Wang handed over the list of civilian family members to Bao Yuding, who took it to ask the teacher for advice, and then asked the king of Beijing County, and deleted most of it: Jia Mu had no contact with the civil servant family members, and it was inconvenient for these people to give gifts to Jia Mu. There is no way to give it to Daiyu, so I can only give it to the second residence of Ningrong.At that time, it was Jia Zhen who was in charge of everything. For Daiyu's dowry money, a civil official who would not hesitate to flatter Jia's prostitution was somewhat problematic.Although the bottom line of the fake stone is low, it will not push sister Lin to the kang when it has nothing to do with her own life.

These people's problems include ability, can't they make a detour if they want to marry Daiyu?Unable to climb up to Jia Mu's high threshold, Mr. Zheng was only from the fifth rank, but he couldn't find a way. Jia Mu looked down on them at that time.

That is to say, if you look at these civil servants, why invite their family members?

Alas, on Daiyu's birthday, a military officer must be invited, not to mention that the Rong Mansion belongs to the honored family, as long as Daiyu's dowry silver is collected by historians, the honorable ones must be the main ones.Civil and military do not match each other. In order to make everyone happy at the birthday banquet, the family members of civil officials must be willing to be humble, so they have to be selected from these people.

Then why not separate civil and military please?

How many civil servants does Rongfu have?Daiyu is Ms. Hou again, and her father is still Tanhua. If the civil official banquet is too much worse than the military official banquet, Rong Mansion will definitely be scolded at the back.It's even worse not to invite the family members of civil servants, and they will be scolded, so they have to make do with it.

And Daiyu felt bad when she saw the list, so why would Tanhua's daughter invite these civil servants?So I added a few more.

Lin Ruhai didn't leave any contacts for her. The girl from the civil servant's family she knew came from Mrs. Jia Yucun.Mrs. Jiao Xing is a lowly concubine who supports her as the main wife, and the family members of Beijing officials who will associate with her in every way, look at their status is not low, so one can imagine the essence.

It is said that Jia Yucun was born as a poor scholar, and he didn't know the way to correct Jiao Xing, but only after becoming a Beijing official did he realize that he was in serious trouble.But Jiao Xing has already been brought out by him to meet people, and she has given birth to a son, so it is difficult for her to go to court.He also has the problem of pity and tenderness, and he is reluctant to kill Jiao Xing, so he firmly loves him deeply: Jiao Xing looked up to him when he was poor and humble, and a poor and humble wife will not go down to court!

The drama-like stories hit Daiyu's glass heart, and their adopted daughter Yinglian is talented and good-natured, and she is very affectionate to the family.

It was inconvenient for Tanchun to speak out, so the seven aunts and eight aunts had to do something wrong and get rid of those who could never be invited.In fact, even Jiao Xing wouldn't invite her, anyway, she didn't have a son who was old enough to say goodbye.Inviting Jiao Xing will offend all the wives and grandmas attending the banquet.Grandma Xia would invite her, and the Rong family's in-laws, Xue's family, were also imperial merchants, so they didn't go out of their way, so they didn't offend Jia Yucun by the way.

There are twists and turns here, and Daiyu still has a lot to learn.She has been in Jiji for two years, and she can realize how much she looks at herself. After all, Tanchun and Mrs. Wang are separated by a layer, and it can only be Jia Mu who breaks it down for her.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the blink of an eye, at the end of the first lunar month, Mrs. Wang ordered Baoyu to go to her place as soon as possible.

When Baoyu went to Mrs. Wang's room, there was silence inside and outside, and Tanchun was guarding the door.He quietly made a "don't speak" gesture to stop Tan Chun from passing small words, and went straight to the room to pay respects: "My son is here, what do you want mother to do?"

Mrs. Wang laughed, and pulled him up with her hands: "I'm telling you something serious!"

Baoyu made a grimace: "When it comes to business, etiquette must not be lost."

Mrs. Wang felt relieved, and said: "It's not a big deal. The family members of the Zhen family in the south of the Yangtze River came to Beijing yesterday, and they didn't deliver a letter before. They suddenly sent someone to give gifts, and four mothers came to visit the old lady. They said Mrs. Zhen I took Miss Zhen San to the palace to congratulate me. I met my old relative another day, and I talked about what happened when you were a guest in Zhen's mansion. The old lady wanted someone to call you, but I blocked it, saying that you were giving a lecture, and it would be better to meet you another day. It's the same. I have to visit Madam Zhen tomorrow, so you don't want to go with me. When Madam Zhen comes to our house as a guest, you might as well go to Jing County to escape."

Baoyu had already guessed that according to the context of everything in advance, the last time Zhen's daughter went to Beijing would be this year, and she had already discussed with Lian Er how to deal with it.He smiled immediately and said: "It's useless to avoid them, let's meet them when they come. The important thing is that when Zhen's mansion is raided, the gold, silver and jewels hidden in our mansion cannot be accepted."

Mrs. Wang was distressed: "What's the use if I don't accept it? The old lady and the eldest lady will accept it! But the Zhen family will be copied? The eldest daughter of their family is the third concubine, and the second daughter..."

The fake stone smiled lightly: "The second girl is a concubine. She was accepted as a concubine by the king of Nan'an County last year and has no children. It is not surprising that she was a concubine again not long after she was accepted. Sons and daughters, the third prince's side concubine and concubines have given birth to many concubines. Jiangnan is the country's wealth warehouse, and the royal family will not let Jiangnan be corrupt. When the time comes, it will be rectified. The debt-laden Zhen family will bear the brunt. If the situation is not dangerous, Mrs. Zhen I won’t bring my daughter to Beijing quietly, it’s just a last-ditch effort. She sent a gift to our house without even handing over the letter of invitation. It’s obviously a greeting for Tibetan silver, but I dare not accept their family’s non-bank. And look, Miss Zhen San, who was born on the throne, must be going to Beijing In the draft, if she is retained, the Zhen family will have another reminder."

Mrs. Wang said: "Grand Concubine Jia and Mrs. Zhen are still here."

The fake stone had a half-smile: "Old lady Zhen is old, so she will live a long life. A nanny, the Holy Majesty is respectful, or disrespectful. There are not enough nanny kicked out by our family?"

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly, Concubine Xin Dao is nothing, just a concubine, a plaything.Just a few days ago, the old lady ordered to evict a concubine with son and daughter in the second room.Concubine Zhen has no children... Can no daughter of the Zhen family have children?I am afraid that the royal family has long wanted to clean up the Zhen family.

Seeing her come to her senses, Baoyu bowed her ear and said something.Mrs. Wang frowned, and said for a long time: "That's the only way."

Two days later, Mrs. Zhen's mother and daughter went to Rongfu to pay homage. Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang prepared a high-class table and called a famous troupe for a big show.

Jia's mother is old and an elder, so she went back to the house to rest after watching a play with her.Mrs. Wang told Mrs. Zhen that she had sent someone to call Baoyu, but her son, Xiaofu, was strict and polite, and girls with other surnames would not enter the door.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Zhen couldn't talk to each other, sitting uncomfortable, took the opportunity to get up, and said to take the girls to the garden, and come back after the next discount.Tanchun said with a smile that other places are still possible, but Miaoyu must go there.Daiyu agreed, praising Miaoyu's talent and appearance.

Mrs. Zhen couldn't help asking who Miaoyu was, Mrs. Wang sighed slightly, and finally said: "Her ancestral home was confiscated, and gold, silver and jewels were sent to her in-laws. Wait a little longer."

Mrs. Zhen couldn't answer the words - what the Su family did was really cold, but the court rewarded them!So she changed the topic and asked the maid to reward Xiaodan Xiaosheng who had just appeared on stage with money, as a reminder to play.

The stage play will definitely not start so soon, Baoyu still has to act.

That year Shitou went to Zhen's Mansion in Jinling, and Mrs. Zhen went to the temple to pray, but she had never seen her before.When the fake stone came in to salute, Mrs. Zhen couldn't help chattering in amazement: "I heard them say that the two Baoyu statues look like one person. I think everyone's sons and sisters are delicate and young, and they are about the same age. They seem to be neat and tidy. I never thought about this." Like. If you see it elsewhere, you can only say that my son has followed him to Beijing." He held up the hand of the fake stone to ask questions.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "The appearance is not the same as the spirit. It is said that your family's Baoyu is the first class to hurt others. My family is like a little old man at a young age. He usually wears a scholar's green shirt. Today, he was forced to change his body." .”

Mrs. Zhen sighed: "My Baoyu is the most mischievous, eccentric and lawless. He gets sick when he is forced to go to school. How can it be like your Baoyu's twelfth year? The devil in the world is the most annoying man. He only likes sisters and sisters, and only girls in the house." Son, my wife is not allowed to come near. My master hates what he says and does, but he is loved by the old lady, so let him be mischievous."

The fake stone can't help but use "true temperament" to anoint Zhen Baoyu, and then greets brother Shi Ping.

Mrs. Zhen's eyes were slightly red, and she said that her eldest son had passed away at the end of last summer.

Zhen Shiping has been recuperating since he was elected, unable to walk on the scene, relatives and friends even the Zhen family rarely show up, and Lian's Er Baoyu was received by him that time, because the Zhen and Jia families are not close but special, and the Zhen family and Lian's second relative He is the only one who is familiar and has the same status.Such a nearly invisible person had two generations of parents living above him, so nothing happened when he passed away.The Jia family is just the "old relatives" of the Zhen family, so they will not write a letter specially.

Lian Er and Baoyu have been paying attention to the Zhen family, so they naturally knew that Zhen Shiping had passed away, so they had long been concerned about it.Last year when Lian Er went to Jinling, he passed a message to Erye Zhen, who was in charge of general affairs. Unexpectedly, the women of the Zhen family went to Rong Mansion according to the original route. Obviously, the women of the Zhen family and the Jia family were very different, and they had the habit of bypassing men.Who makes women low?Whenever they have "extraordinary" behaviors, the first ones to hide from them are their own men.Fake Stone respected this very much, and personally went into battle to embarrass the head of the Zhen family.

He was about to cry: "Brother Shi Ping's voice and smile are still there, but he has gone! He really has gone! When he told me, how could I believe it! Brother Shi Ping said, if you come after he has gone, I will give it to you." have a look……"

Speaking of this, he took out a half-foot-square painting, and Mrs. Wang's confidant maids immediately rushed up to block Mrs. Zhen's maids from sight.

The painting is a characteristic simple stroke color painting of a fake stone, two connected grasses, the grass blades are bent to both sides and broken, the title is "Broken Green", and there is a striking private seal of Zhen Shiping on the side (the fake stone has Zhen Shiping's calligraphy, make a fake private seal Printing is not difficult).

Mrs. Zhen's eyes widened, she wanted to take it over and take a closer look, but the fake stone was already put away, and the girls quickly backed away.

"Broken Green" is a homonym for "broken relatives", and Mrs. Zhen's IQ is not below the level, so she came to her senses right away.

But she couldn't believe that the calm eldest son would put a private seal on such a painting, and said with an ugly smile: "I just said that the two Baoyu are not alike, but they are alike again. They both like to mess around."

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "It's fine if my son likes to mess around. A kid should act like a kid, but he never messes around."—Actually, she also thinks it's like messing around, but the important thing is to show the meaning, the goal can be achieved, let him mess around No nonsense.

Mrs. Zhen was startled and suspicious, Mrs. Wang picked up the teacup and drank tea slowly, the Bodhisattva's face was very kind.

Mrs. Zhen's eyes turned cold, she understood what Mrs. Wang meant when she talked about Miaoyu's family affairs earlier.

At this time, the qin and flute ensemble before the opening came from the other side of the stage, Baoyu shook his head and made up his sword: "There is a scene coming and going, Brother Shi Ping's words come true, Madam, please mourn."

Madam Zhen quickly restrained her discoloration, and looked towards the stage with a smile.She wanted to see the fake stone, it was her husband who said Jia Baoyu was nothing to take lightly, and the eldest son even lamented that the Zhen family was a scholarly family in vain, and no one among the younger generation could find a better one than Jia Baoyu.

She thought how strong a child could be?I'm afraid it's an exaggeration, that is, willing to study is better than my own Baoyu.Now she suspects that Jia Baoyu's talent is the one who was admitted by luck, and her speech and behavior are not as good as her own Baoyu!No matter how tricky my son is, he understands the difference between the inside and the outside, and when meeting people, he is as polite as an adult. It is ridiculous that Mrs. Wang indulges in such a thing... No, it is Mrs. Wang who wants to break off the relationship, and let her son take advantage of his young age. Noisy, there are no rules in the general's mansion!

Mrs. Zhen had some thoughts at first: because Jia's mother had a good relationship with the princess of Nan'an County, she took care of the second girl a lot on weekdays.Old relatives, old relatives, are meant to look at each other. There are virtuous concubines and concubines in the Jia family palace, and there are princes and princes in-laws outside, so they can take care of each other with the Zhen family.Unexpectedly, Wang's dog looks down on people!What about Miaoyu's family affairs, curse Zhen's family to be copied?

It is said that Mr. Zheng insisted on repaying the money owed, and later the Rong Mansion really paid it back. This matter caused a lot of trouble in the capital, and the third princess mentioned it in a letter to her family.This time she came to Beijing to know more details. From her point of view, Mrs. Jia and Mr. Jia are sensible people. Unfortunately, Mrs. Jia is getting old and Mr. Jia is sick. With the self-confessed and loyal Master Jia Er, it is difficult for the Zhen family to get close to the Jia family if this couple is in trouble.Hmph, the Zhen family is not rare!

Therefore, the vision of a woman trapped in the back house is limited, and she never thought that something would happen to the Zhen family: she came to Beijing in a low-key manner because of the advocacy of thrift;

From beginning to end, she never thought about linking the Jia family and the Zhen family's maidservants together.The maidservant of the Zhen family gave birth to children and sold them as slaves. Although the matter was a secret, as the mistress of the house, she would not be ignorant of it.She didn't take these things to heart. Firstly, in the eyes of the mistress, a maidservant who gave birth to a child is the same as a slave, and it is not pleasant to hide it from the outside world; , it is fair to say that selling as a slave still has a surname, which is better than an incognito maidservant.

Mrs. Zhen's knack for the scene is very good, no matter how unhappy she is, she will sit until the end of the play.Afterwards, the relationship with Jia's family faded away, and when Zhen's family was raided, as a fake stone wished, the women of Zhen's family did not send gold, silver and jewelry to Rongfu.

Back to the beginning of February, gongs were played for the harem draft, the former Chunwei scientific examination was held, county examinations in various places were launched, and the Rongfu was happily preparing for Daiyu's birthday party...

The author has something to say: Fake stone: Meow meow!Aunt Zhen, if you dare to bring the stolen money to my house, I will bring it to the Ministry of Punishment!
