Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 152: Chasing the Clouds

Lian Er left, and soon Xichun's birthday arrived.

After changing the genealogy, Xichun is the girl from the second room of the Rong Mansion, so she doesn't have to keep filial piety for the master.But the fourth girl refused to move out of the nunnery, saying that she would pray for the old lady, the second master and the second elder brother Lian who had served the emperor's favor, pray for the long-sick elder master, and the wives and grandma who took care of the housework, and for the daily hard work. The second elder brother, nephew Lan, etc. prayed for blessings, and prayed to the Bodhisattva to bless the whole family, Anshun, Fuze and so on.

Mr. Zheng didn't care about the four girls under his name. Hearing this, he sighed: "Filial piety is commendable!"

Mrs. Jia Muwang all nodded, thinking that the fourth girl was very sensible: how can we talk about marriage in front of our eyes?Think that changing the genealogy will wipe away the ugly reputation?The lineage of the Ning Mansion has not gone far.Let's talk about it later, let's see if Xiaoming can cover all his ugliness with one beauty.

The fourth girl just likes the house in Jingxin Nunnery, and of course she also likes to paint quietly, and has no interest in Daiyu's homework-like small feasts, and the sisters who have no outsiders form a society in the boudoir.

The girls all know her habits, so they don't need to make a fuss about her birthday, they just say that the Zhuangzhong sisters form an association for fun.

Shenying's waiter Ze Yin stands in as a substitute, and the girls post a post to the family school to respectfully invite Bao Si to accompany the nephew Lan as a matter of course.

The uncle and nephew of the second room had no choice but to give Xichun the girl of the second room, so it seemed that it was not enough to just send a congratulatory gift.But both of them were reluctant to jump into the frying pan early, and replied that "autumn is the day for reading", and they had to go to class in the morning and attend meetings in the afternoon.

The afternoon was very long, after the main class, the students were left to Teacher Liu to clean up, and the two of them took Jia Cong and Teacher Liu Shu to Daylilies Garden.

Mr. Liu Shu is the only scholar from the family school this summer, and his word is Yinquan.The reason was that in the first half of the year, Jia's family was in chaos, and the children of Jia's family passed the county examination, and the children's lives were not happy. Baoyu thought that the opportunity must not be missed, so he secretly ordered Yinquan to go all out.

Sure enough, no one paid attention to the spring after passing the courtyard, so Mr. Zheng went to the family school alone to encourage him, saying that the Jia family could support Liu Xiucai to study in the academy.Yinquan expresses that he has received great kindness from Jia's family, and will never leave at this time. He wants to stay in the family school to teach Meng children, and he can ask Shan Juren for advice on weekdays.Mr. Zheng admired this son's conduct very much, and ordered Si Shu'er to treat him kindly.

Baosishu treated Yinquan very kindly and took him to the disaster.Uh, don't slander others' kindness, he is trying to pull the red line secretly, and the obvious reason is that he and nephew Lan will definitely be troubled by the girls, let alone the third brother Cong, so he asks Mr. Liu for help.

Perhaps heaven and man felt that the weather, which should have been breezy and breezy in autumn, was cloudy and rainy.

The four teenagers wore the same school shirts, followed by four fellows.Jialan Jia Cong Yinquan didn't bring any servants with him. Their personal servants had grown up and were to be called long-term followers, so it was not easy to take them to the backyard.The four servants are Baoyu's new bodyguards. They look thirteen or fourteen years old. In fact, the young one is fifteen and the seventeenth is a specially selected dwarf. highest prayer.

Needless to say, he was safe and sound, unfortunately, he encountered a different kind of robber——

The eight people entered the Hemerocallis Garden and were blocked within a few steps. The leader was a man with a long scarf and a fluttering cloak, holding a bamboo sword, followed by ten maidservants: Cui Ling Xiaoer, Zijuan Xueyan, Autumn Pattern Color Screen, and Waiting for Books. Cui Mo, and Bao Qin's maid Wen Xing Fu Yun.

The ten servant girls yelled awkwardly: "This courtyard is occupied by me, this road is opened for me, if you want to get through this—"

The bandit leader held a sword flower: "Leave money to buy roads (only)! Yabang is half a word, just look-"

Baoyu secretly complained, although Xiangyun in the original book is lively, how can it be so wild, where is the biggest hole in China?

Thinking of this, he followed the momentum of the sword, and there came a little girl, followed by a woman and maid, among them, the nurse Zixiao was carrying a cage, and the little girl smiled at Yan Yan: "Second uncle Bao, the autumn wind blows crabs Fat, and please use this as the title-"

The ten maidservants said in unison: "There is no limit to rhyme, no limit to rhyme, and no limit to poems. If you have one poem, this road will be opened for you!"

A certain one was hesitant to plagiarize a song, and sister Qiao had already approached, thinking that Uncle Bao was not straightforward enough, so she turned back and opened the cage door.

The fake stone was shocked, and he didn't stop drinking or stop the chick. His first reaction was to back away abruptly.

He was safe and hurried to protect him, and Jing An stepped forward to close the cage door tightly.Sister Qiao didn't follow her feet, she accidentally knocked the purple silk carrying the cage and let her hands loose, and the cage fell to the side of the flower garden.

The door of the cage had been bolted, and when it was swung wide open, a few crabs crawled out, which seemed to be the nature of animals, and quickly crawled towards the pool on the side.

Sister Qiao went to catch her while drinking, and didn't allow others to help.A certain one finally remembered his job as an uncle, and if he felt that it would be terrible to pinch it, he yelled kindly: "Stop! You have already crawled out, why don't you let it go, and pray for your fourth aunt!"

Xiang Yun smiled and raised his voice: "Okay! You can use the name "Cage to Open the Crab Escape", hurry up!"

Baoyu secretly complained, the name must be fixed, and there is no place to plagiarize.So they discussed: "Let's let the younger ones congratulate the fourth sister first, Cao Zijian can write a poem in seven steps, why should the younger ones have to take seventy steps and seven hundred steps, right?"

Xiang Yun sneered: "That's fine, you said it, please!"

Baoyu looked at the Yixin Hall next to her sword finger, and was dumbfounded again: "This...the mother of the palace..."

Sister Qiao giggled: "Nurse has something to do, she's gone home!"

Xiangyun said shamelessly: "Xiu used the nanny as an excuse, when did the nanny stop you? Go!"

Baoyu followed with a bitter face. In fact, it is not difficult to insist on brewing a song, but he is just aggrieved.

Yin Quanyuan didn't believe what uncle and nephew Baoyu said, and felt that it was absurd for a few ladies to make it difficult for scholars and children, so he had to believe it, no matter how full of gems he was, he would be confused even if he was forced or frightened.So he walked two steps quietly, leaned over his ear and said: "I am afraid of the cage even if I have no intestines, and the crabs are rushing. Forget the time and way of coming, Cheng En is diving."

Baoyu secretly sighed that a talented man is a talented man, and the crab is also called "Guangzi without intestines". Yinquan is comparing himself to an escaped crab, which means that he has no intestines in his belly, has forgotten his past, and only accepts his kindness.

Only a few steps away, Yixintang arrived in the blink of an eye.Today, there is a crab banquet in this hall, because the fresher the crabs, the better, so it is made in the small kitchen on the side, and it is only started after Xijiaomen's eyeliner reports "Bao Si is here".

The small kitchen usually only makes small snacks, but they can't find any tricks, they only steam them, and the seasoning is prepared by the kitchen of Jiamuyuan.

Because it was late and the meeting was in a hurry, Li Wan stood by the door and watched the women work.Hot ginger tea is a must for eating crabs. It is cooked in a small charcoal stove in front of the hall, and Tanchun Baoqin leads the maids to make tea.

Daiyu Xichun is busy with nothing, and serves beside Jia Mu.Fruits were placed on the low table, and the second daughter picked the melon seeds that had been molared, peeled the melon seeds, and crushed them with a small mill.Jia Mu shook her head: "How can I eat melon seeds that are broken into powder?"

Daiyu said that it can be made into soup, which is "a new snack made out of tinkering".It is said that setting up Daiyu's residence at the banquet is not to embarrass a poor talent. It's not that only Daiyu Xichun lives in Hemerocallis Courtyard, and crabs are meat, so it's not easy to steam them in a family nunnery.Yixintang is also close to Jiamuyuan, so it is convenient for the old lady to come here.

Seeing the boys coming, Mother Jia deliberately asked Amber to take her glasses, squinting her eyes and said, "Who is this, a plain shirt of one color, isn't it here to celebrate his birthday?"

Baoyu has a toothache, and the life of being a human-shaped jewelry column is really sad, but the old lady likes it!But today is just to celebrate Xichun's birthday, is it necessary for a brother to uglify himself?Speechless, he could only bow down first, and then get up to congratulate the fourth sister on her birthday.

The old lady was dissatisfied with Xiao Jinsun, interrupted his talk, and said: "The one born here is Mr. Liu Shu? Sure enough, he is tall because he is young. He is called a foreigner, right? Aren't you the most particular about different seats for men and women at seven years old? How can you take the lead and make an exception?"

Baoyu coughed and said solemnly: "Back to the old ancestors, Brother Yinquan is teaching in my private school in Jia's family, so he must come to kowtow to the old ancestors. Besides, there is a gang of three heroes, and the grandson is determined to be a hero. Please look forward to Big Brother Han Quan, Third Younger Brother Cong, and Xiao Laner, a good man, four of us will play one song today, and four of us will play ten songs and eight songs!"

Everyone laughed, Qiaojie rubbed her little belly and cried out, Daiyu stretched her fingers forward: "It's the first time I've seen how confident you are in using a pen instead of a knife! Let's see how much you can write!"

Xiangyun shouted: "Don't think that you can pay off your debts by playing tricks. "Cages and Crabs Escape", four poems! I will serve you with pen and ink!"

Jia's mother asked what "cage to open the crab escape", Baoyu said with a smile: "this happened in this dynasty, this year, this month, this month, a moment before Japan's time. Stunned like a wooden pillar, he hurriedly made a plan, snatched the crab cage brought by the accomplice next to him, threw it into the grass, and let the crab escape from the cage... It's a pity that this hero could not sneak away with the crab, and was still caught."

Everyone laughed, Baoqin sighed with a smile: "It's weird to say that there is no need to invite the female storyteller, she has a clever mouth here! Drink ginger tea to moisten your throat and then continue. It's just the same, first write "Cage Crab Escape" , the sisters are looking forward to it.”

Just write and write. After a long time of wrangling, I will hold back no more poetic talents.Especially Xiao Lan'er, who wrote two poems by herself, and they are still Qilu.You need to know that no man likes to hear others say that he is young. He is much braver than the useless second uncle. He is not afraid of intimidation and intimidation. He vows to be worthy of a man and never lose to a girl with long hair but short knowledge.

The girls commented on it, and asked Li Wan, who was in charge of the altar, to come and see, and asked the old lady to make a decision.

Bao Sishu's work was pushed to the top of the list due to slight dissent.A certain one secretly complained: That was not written by the master, really!Jia Lan's writing is more regular, and Jia Cong's writing is also good, but he is clumsy!Hateful, you dare to disobey the order after clearly saying that you are not allowed to pretend to be clumsy today!Talented women are really stupid, where is the eyesight of Fairy Jiangzhu?Return to the mortals!

A certain one was annoyed, and its face was colorful.The girls are overjoyed, no one is stupid, even the straightforward Xiangyun thinks it is right to lead the spring to hide the clumsiness, how can the school teacher overpower the school?The most hateful thing is the second brother Bao, this is the number one seed of Zangzhuo!Take the lead in pretending to be an idiot and pretend to be clumsy. Could it be possible to publish a bunch of clumsy poems today?

Poetry is no longer played, girls want to play Solitaire, you need to know that Solitaire must be quick, and Baosi School will reveal its secrets when it is forced, and there are good lines from time to time.

A certain one has not come to his senses so far, and if he knew the truth, he would want to cry without tears: Master plagiarized, plagiarized!Grandpa accidentally has a good memory, and he can plagiarize famous quotes from later generations with just a single mouthful.Only this matter, Grandpa shone through the halo all over his body.

Laughing, the mother-in-law reported that the crab was steamed, and immediately brought up the steamer.

I saw the small bamboo steamers stacked into two high vertical rows, the hot and fresh fragrance was overflowing, which attracted people's index fingers.

Jia Mu said: "Don't be greedy. Crabs are cold in nature. You can only eat one per person. You can have dinner after a while. It's not good to accumulate food." Then she asked Li Wan, "Give it to the second room?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "There is no need to send it away. Miss Qin is so careful in her work. Before lunch, she picked more than a dozen baskets of extremely fat and huge crabs and sent them over. How many of them can the masters eat? Anyone who serves close to her can taste them." fresh."

Baoqin said: "It's just a coincidence. A few days ago, a clerk in the shop sent a few catties of crab fat to our house. The eldest grandma said it was good after eating it, and the elder brother was quick to talk, saying that the eldest grandma likes to eat it." This is good. In just these two days, guys sent crabs to our house one by one. It is also a blessing for the fourth sister, who happened to celebrate her birthday. Let everyone eat, otherwise the crabs can’t be kept for a long time. Leng Dinger carried the crabs What's the deal with sending it to relatives and friends? Is it possible that someone's family still lacks a few crabs?"

Jia's mother wanted to laugh and tried to hold back, this is not a good thing for a girl who has not left the cabinet to hear: Yingchun gave birth to a daughter on the third day of September, and she had no appetite the day before, so she ate two after smelling the fragrance of crabs.Xue Pan was extremely proud of having a daughter, saying that it is "good" to have a son and a daughter, and gave her a nickname "Sister Crab".Not to mention that this name is not suitable for girls, do you guys know that confinement women can't eat cold crabs?I don't know whether to be happy with the boss, or sincerely congratulate the boss for getting a crab sister!

In addition to the elderly Jia Mu, Xichun who is inconvenient to go out, and the irrelevant nephew Yinquan, all of them went to congratulate Sister Xie'er Xisan.Xue Pan's mouth is so open, no one knows the cause and effect, and has already laughed once.After laughing, I feel that there is nothing wrong with "Sister Crab". Girls are rough and will not suffer in the future.

Xichun didn't pay attention to the slightly strange atmosphere at the scene, and just took off the crab cover for the old lady, saying: "I only appreciate your kindness, the second sister and second brother-in-law didn't expect us to eat well! Although the crab is fresh, who has it on weekdays?" This teeth-grinding skill? Occasionally freshness is the real freshness, rough tea and light meals can nourish the stomach, I advise you to eat vegetarian food with me, it is good for your body." As he spoke, he put the crab roe into the plate and ordered the seasoning.

Daiyu took over and broke the crab in half, and then used the pliers to clamp the crab legs.Jia Mu smiled and said: "The freshest crab roe is enough for me to eat. God can't use many, you can use it."

Tanchun knows that the second brother is the most troublesome, so he quickly gossips about Xie Dayu.It's not good to only dismantle one person's share, so I simply dismantled four.

There are two crabs in each small steamer, so Baoyu and Jia Lan share the same cage, and Yinquan and Jia Cong share the same cage.

Jiamu looked at it with a smile, somehow she felt that Yinquan looked very attractive, like your son.It's strange, but it's just a country kid who was attached to school, and his every move is so gentle... I understand, this kid didn't grow up in the countryside, but went to Jia's private school when he was young, and he was an orphan raised by the old Jia's family.

After Mr. Zheng went to visit Yinquan, he praised Jiamu a few times. At that time, Jiamu felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that if you married your concubine daughter to an orphan, could it be possible that you also want to marry your legitimate daughter to an orphan?It was also because of this that she stabbed Baoyu before, but she knew Xiao Jinsun, why would she bring a foreigner here?

At this moment, she felt a little loose and sad: Tanchun betrothed an orphan, Qiaojieer betrothed an orphan, Xichun wanted an orphan, and Yingchun actually married an orphan.She thinks it should be because there are too few males in the Rong family. The eldest son and the second son of the family have only one son. My son, I can only take my orphan nephew as a brother to accompany me, but after all, I am not of the same generation. When it comes to etiquette, I am a junior who should kowtow.As soon as a boy is lonely, wouldn't he go out to find a brother, and if the brother-in-law is an orphan, he will be like a brother.She thought that the second couple must have chosen their son-in-law because they thought Baoyu was too pitiful.There is Daiyu in Yuanchun, and the jade-character generation and the grass-character generation are already reliable, and marrying a higher daughter is just icing on the cake.If you marry low, marry low. Xichun has such a brother, and it is not easy to marry high.

Baoyu didn't expect to achieve such a wonderful and good effect. He has always been a little frightened of Jia's mother, unless there is no other way, he dare not take the old lady's idea.Running into Jia's mother today was beyond his expectation, Xichun was only having a small birthday, and the application time had passed, so he thought only the girls were left.What he wanted was to let Yinquan and Xichun meet. If they could see each other, he would be sure of the fake mother and father. Anyway, Xichun was already registered under the name of the second room. trick.

You ask why Tanchun didn't invite men and women to meet before marriage?What is Liu Xianglian's temperament?He pays more attention to the "virtue" of women, and arranging them to meet before marriage will definitely have a counterproductive effect. Don't forget that the old Jia's family has a bad reputation.And Tanchun has seen Liu Xianglian, and the girl is satisfied and has means, and she will be able to live well after marriage.Yinquan is different, with a delicate heart, he wants Yinquan to be used by him willingly, and he wants Yinquan to be satisfied.Xichun wanted her to take a fancy to her even more, because of his bad temper, if he was wrong, he would see through the world, and he didn't dare to drag the red line.

Xichun didn't pay much attention to Yinquan, other girls are prone to spring ~ heart-wrenching, her expectations are low, and she is determined when she remembers the name of the second room, no matter what, the marriage will not be too outrageous.If she married into a noble family, although she didn't like it, she thought it was not completely helpless.It's best to marry low, she has a private house by her side, and has her second brother to take care of her, so she will be able to live comfortably.

Yinquan paid attention to her, after all, the only girl present was Miss Jia Si who was not engaged yet, and the marriage might be a bit difficult because of her brother's involvement.But he didn't have much expectation for marriage, it was enough to continue the Zhen family's bloodline.Miss Jiasi was a bit far away from him, she should be a Fangliang girl or a merchant girl, his obvious identity was just an orphan who was attached to school and had nothing.

Not to mention whether there will be a follow-up between the indifferent couple, Baoyu picked this time to come, and also because he wanted to send Baoqin back to Xue's house before dinner.Her own brother will marry a girl from the Xia family next month, and her sister-in-law is in confinement again, and there are a lot of things going on at home.

The author has something to say: Fake stone: I expect Simei and Yinquan will fall in love at first sight, goodbye like this...
