Baoyu Fights the Red Chamber

Chapter 35: Going to the South of the Yangtze River: Shocking Secret

For money, Lian Er shamelessly mortgaged his second younger brother Bao to the Zhen family.

Zhen Yingjia was very happy and took the time to meet him.The president's appearance at 42 is a good time for a man to be mature and young.

The senior members of the second rank were very kind to the two Baoyus, but the whole process of Baoyu from the Zhen family was like a little white rabbit seeing a fierce tiger. Fortunately, the process was not long, just drinking tea.A translation of President Zhen's words would be: "My third boy is not enlightened, so you can open it up for him, even if he needs a ladle."

Fake Stone has no such guts, and only hopes to get the bank in hand soon. That shameless Lian Er is now "looking around", urging him to hand over the bank notes in his hand and get out the bank deposit in Zhen's house.

A certain one had no choice but to try to get some tricks out of the Zhen family and cheat out of the money as soon as possible.

The sad thing is that he is alone: ​​Zhen Baoyu hates smelly men, and Neiwei is not a place for young servants to stay with them.Zixiao is married, but Zhen Baoyu doesn't like it; Xiaohong's hands are too big, and aestheticists don't like it.

One by one, the fake stones worked hard on Mrs. Zhen.The old lady Zhen is kind-hearted, er, she is kind-hearted and fat. She is ten years younger than Jia Mu, but she is short of breath after walking a few steps. She probably suffers from cardiovascular problems.The old man doesn't like to move, and he is not as scheming as Jia's mother. Perhaps her ability to be a nurse today has something to do with her lack of shrewdness and good temper.An old man with an average IQ would not ask the juniors to speak out like Jiamu, and would be happy to listen to her nagging with bright eyes.

Not long after, the fake stone came out with information: he is ranked fourth today, and he was an unfavorable prince when he was a child.And Prince Yizhong, who has done something wrong, is ranked second, and now he will follow behind Prince Yizhong.

What's so special, it is indeed a variant of the Qing Dynasty version, the only difference is that the royal family is not a barbarian, and men don't need to cut the moon's head.Also, the old emperor was not like Kangxi who passed on the throne after a whimper. He was overwhelmed by Prince Yizhong, and he was passed on to the fourth child three years ago.So today at the golden age of 33, he ascended to Dabao. It seems that he is not as aggrieved as Yongzheng. If you ignore that he is a "child emperor". .

One day after another, Zhen Baoyu was worried that a certain cousin was weak, saying that the elders said that the cousin looked like his third aunt. His third aunt was the concubine of Prince Yizhong, who died of illness in June four years ago, and his cousin also suffers from the bitter summer every year. .

A certain one is also in the bitter summer, and its belly is full of coptis: MD has worn it twice, but it doesn't even know that Zhen Yingjia's third sister is the side concubine of Prince Yin!God knows if he died of illness. Prince Yizhong had a "bad thing" three years ago in the first lunar month, and Zhen Baoyu's eldest sister became today's third daughter-in-law in October four years ago. Maybe it was the Zhen family who saw Prince Yizhong Li Can't stop anymore, Ma slipped away a daughter and switched to Jinshang's camp: don't look at the eldest daughter of the Zhen family who is just the third concubine, the three sons of Jinshang were born in the same year, the eldest son died early, and the second's biological mother was a concubine at the time. Even the natal family of the second concubine has no snobbery; the third is from a side concubine, who is only two months younger than the second, so why would the Zhen family not want to have a queen?

False Stone thought to himself: If the original work is followed, a daughter of the Zhen family will marry into the royal family in a few years, and then the Zhen family will be in trouble.It is impossible for an emperor to be so elated today. I am afraid that when the Supreme Emperor loses control of power, or whimpers, he will clean up the Zhen family immediately.

As for whether the Zhen family is loyal to the Supreme Emperor, there is a question mark, and the loyalists must be eliminated. If they are unfaithful, they may be hated even more today: from the emperor to Yizhong, and then to him, what does a mere Jiangnan Zhen think of the royal family?

A certain one didn't want to persuade Zhen Baoyu even a word, and there was nothing he could do in exchange for his status, so he might as well be as happy as he wanted.Uh, there is another way to survive—"die" ahead of time, it's no problem to hide someone now with the power of the Zhen family.

There is nothing to talk about with ten-year-old children, and the little thing can't control his own destiny even if he understands it.

The fake stone visits Zhen Shiping again. Anyway, everyone knows what the "old relatives" are doing, and Zhen Shiping seems to be a sensible person. Please hand over the Jia family's savings, and my master will come up with a double and clever idea for your family. !

Because they couldn't get rid of Zhen Baoyu, the two of them went with a group of maids.Fake Stone hit a few words, Zhen Shiping unceremoniously exercised his elder brother's authority, and sent the little boy to play with the maids in the garden.

Baoyu sighed: "Brother Shihe has great wisdom. Once a person is enlightened, he is constantly worried. Duzhong's aristocratic families often say 'returning to the countryside'. It is ridiculous that they don't even have the knowledge of servants. The servants are graciously let go." People who belong to good families are all crying and screaming. Good people are also called "grass people"! If it weren't for grass people's lives like ants, why would our ancestors risk their lives for wealth and prosperity? Unfortunately, once the big tree falls and there are no eggs under the dumped nest, this is the act of forming an "old relative". Brother Yu, there is one thing that is unknown. Everyone knows about "old relatives". If one party falls, the other will not Can it be safe? Could it be that you put one eye on the pity and close the other?"

Zhen Shiping has been annoyed for the past two days, and it's been a bitter summer, too lazy to flirt with the little slippery head, and chuckled: "Xian Kunzhong thinks that 'old man' is useless, why don't we go our separate ways?"

Baoyu said solemnly: "Yes and no. 'Old relatives' are blood relatives. They keep watch in their prime, but they are like close relatives in their defeat. Therefore, the Rong Mansion set up a sacrifice field while it still had enough power to leave an extra way out for itself. Brother Ning Mansion's situation When I knew it, I had enough energy left, so I pointed to the ancestral deposit of silver. The foolish brother thought that the oil in your house was cooked with fire, and the flowers bloomed for a long time. Although the moon is full, it will be a loss, but the loss can be gradually recovered. Forgive my stupid brother to say bluntly, the third brother is very talented. It is only because he is addicted to the rich and gentle country that he has not been enlightened for a long time. If he can plan something for him, he will have In case, the whole family can also be expected to recover."

The corners of Zhen Shiping's eyes twitched, how could he be so unlucky to curse someone face to face?Immediately smiled and said: "It is for him to plan. Brother Fang Liubao will stay here for a while, but I hope he can change his sex."

He didn't end well even if he turned into a woman!A certain wry smile: "Praise the foolish brother! The foolish brother also knows that today is a shallow conversation, and he just doesn't wait for me. The elder brother has a clear understanding of the world, and the pair are eye-catching. They should know that when a certain time comes, the situation will change. Today is a glorious day. How can we not be in the way of fate? To take chestnuts from the fire can be one or two, and there is no chestnut to choose." (The emperor is in his prime, and only by assassinating can he take advantage of the ease of his position. Once the emperor is gone, the emperor will definitely sort out the situation , the opportunists who put labels on their foreheads, the Zhen family who controlled the wealthy Jiangnan, and the Jia family who was full of crimes in their corpses are 100% blacklisted)

Zhen Shiping rubbed his forehead: "Brother Bao is wise, you can't predict what you want. Today, the world is peaceful and the holy light is shining. We, the Xiyin family, only need to do our best to repay the emperor's kindness. Why worry?"

It's bureaucratic!The fake stone is just a little bit of heart, and now with a smile, he praises the emperor's holy light, the holy light shines, the weather is fine, and the new tea tastes delicious.He also said that Jia Yingtian Mansion owed him a half-teacher's kindness. Fortunately, brother Yucun spared no time, so he was going to visit him.

Zhen Shiping said that Jia Lian has not been seen these days, and your servant hasn't arrived yet, how do you know that Jia Yucun is free?Do you dare to say that you have no intention of dating my third brother?So I pretended to let it go.

Zhen Baoyu refused, knowing that her good brother was still worried about money, so she ran to the old lady and cried.Mrs. Zhen is not Jia's mother, and Zhen Yingjia is not Huang~ the obscene and fatuous Jia Amnesty. Therefore, Mrs. Zhen enjoys a good morning, and even Nei Wei can only talk in her yard, and can only coax her to be good with false words. Sun.

The fake stone finally escaped from the nest of wealth and wealth, and invested in the great business of buying land and bargaining prices. Lian Er marveled that his thick-skinned skills were far from perfect.During this period, the two inevitably split up, going to Xue's house to catch big fish, and going to Jia Yucun's house to bond with each other.

Jia Yucun naturally entertained Jia Tongsheng warmly, and called out his eldest son Jian Baoshu, who had just started, and said that "Miss Jia", that is, Yinglian was engaged, and was the red thread drawn by Leng Zixing from the Xia family of the imperial merchant in Beijing.

False Stone only then learned of Yinglian's follow-up story, ouch, it exceeded expectations!It’s just the Xia’s family, isn’t it the Osmanthus Xia’s family that has “dozens of hectares of land to grow only sweet-scented osmanthus”?The Xia family has only one daughter, Xia Jingui, whose mother raised her to be the overlord, and later became the first consort of the overlord Xue, turning the Xue family's troubled people on their backs.However, "Osmanthus Xia Family" should be in Chang'an.

After questioning, it turned out to be "Osmanthus Xia's family".It's just that Xia's mother died of a sudden illness last year, and she didn't have time to adopt an heir, so the qualifications of the imperial merchant fell to the second wife.Xia Jingui was 13 years old and was raised by her second uncle.And after the second family of the Xia family separated, they went to the capital to do business, and they had already done business, so they didn't return to Chang'an because they inherited the qualifications of the long house's imperial merchant.Businessmen have always traveled all over the world, the Xia family and the palace only supply sweet-scented osmanthus and bonsai for decoration.Yinglian's fiancé is Xia Jinyin, the eldest son of the second wife.

Although Fake Stone felt that it would be difficult to be the eldest daughter-in-law of a businessman with Yinglian's temperament, it was considered a good thing after all, so he took out the jewelry he got from Zhen Baoyu as a gift, and praised a certain unattractive carrot head with "extraordinary horns" , Fu claimed that he would solemnly recommend Xia's flower rouge gouache to his sisters, and the things from other houses must be inferior.

Jia Yucun laughed, and said with a smile that he should be careful of Mr. Zheng's board, and incidentally mentioned that Baoyu, who Zhen Jiaxi mixed with inner weft.Because he had been an official in Jinling for two years, his friendship with the Zhen family was limited, and his actions were often restrained. Hearing that Baoyu of the Zhen family liked Jia Baoyu very much, he insisted on staying for a while, so he wanted to get on the line.

Fake Stone knew that his whereabouts could not be concealed from others, so he turned a corner and demoted the Zhen family's good luck for not long to show that his relationship with the "old relatives" of the Zhen family was mediocre: In the original book, the Zhen family was unlucky and Jia Yucun was promoted. No tricks?If he were to be the emperor, he would also use cruel officials from poor families with no foundation as swordsmen.

Jia Yucun didn't quite believe that the Zhen family would suffer bad luck, thinking that Jia Tongsheng was treated as badly by Zhen Baoyu as he was, and felt sympathetic with each other. Every time my grandson insulted my master and blamed my son, I was unable to stay long at President Zhen's request. There is no need for such children to argue with him, how can grandmother protect him for the rest of his life? There will be hardships in the future."

The topic turned to Jia's purchase of sacrifice fields, and Jia Yucun embraced it, saying that he could just order his master to do it——Jinling City may lack other things, and there are a lot of anointed grains that can't keep the ancestor's foundation. It's enough to make up whatever you want.

Jia Lian's trip to Xue's family was also smooth.The past two years have been really difficult for Xue Wang's family, if it wasn't for the fact that the second elder brother was promoted and sent servants to visit once, the family property would have been eaten up by side branches.Seeing that Xue Pan's marriage has been postponed again and again, Baochai is [-] years old and has to consider marriage, her hair is greying, but unexpectedly, the great-granddaughter of the Duke of the State is married, what a surprise!

The bit of resentment towards the Rong Mansion dissipated, and without Lian Er's words, the Xue Wang family offered a lot of money.It's easy to say that Tian, ​​Xue Jiazu couldn't give up Tian, ​​but he has servants.Not long ago, under Baochai's persuasion, she dealt with a few servants who were eating inside and out. Once they copied it, they had so much property that they could only have a conscience, and they happened to "sell" some of the top-grade land to Jia's family.

Thanks to the cooperation of all parties, the land purchase was completed in less than a month. Jia Lian had already spent enough time at the Qinhuai Flower Boat, and was fascinated by Yangzhou, a place he had never been to before. Jia Mu thought that Baoyu was young and did not have much experience, so before they left, she asked Jia Lian to go to Gusu, where the Lin family was originally from, to add some earthen rituals, and then went to Yangzhou to meet Lin Ruhai.

The summer is scorching and you are not in a hurry, it is still a boat trip.

The departure is after a luncheon, and it stops at a certain port in the evening, and a merchant ship stops at the adjacent place first.The host was someone who had met in Jinling, and flatteringly invited Second Master Lian and Second Master Bao to sit on the boat.

Second Master Lian thought of the charming Hua Niang who was on the other side and happily went there, while Second Master Bao excused that he felt unwell and didn't join in the fun.

Bao Erye loves to be leisurely. He had a simple dinner, sipped tea slowly, enjoyed the servants playing fans, and listened to the tea while stuttering and reciting books—the servants were far less motivated to learn than the maids, so they had to be forced.

At this time, Xiaohong came in with a letter to report to a certain merchant, and boarded a boat to ask for an interview, begging Li Gui to forward the letter.

The fake stone is a conspiracy theorist, suspecting that the profiteer was ordered by Feng Lian Er to send a spring letter that could be tricked if he tore it, and ordered Xiaohong to exit the cabin door, and called Zixiao to open the letter—the trick was to go and talk to Li immediately. Expensive room!

Zixiao was standing on the deck prettyly to exchange affection with Li Gui. He heard the rumors and opened the letter. After reading it, he reported: "It's a painting, a pavilion, and two poems: "Flying down three thousand feet, when the truth speaks, the wind of the lake is shocked." '."

Zhen Shiping's word "Pinghu" was first seen in Feiliu Pavilion, but he still couldn't hear it, what a fool.The fake stone couldn't figure out why that guy sent someone to look over the painting, and then ordered the second maid to invite a certain merchant into the cabin.

A certain businessman brought an eleven or twelve-year-old boy with him, and the sky was still bright at this time. As soon as the two of them entered the cabin, Baoyu was shocked: this boy was clearly one of the ten boys he used for the first time to lead the spring!It is not surprising that the Zhen family sent a young servant to the Jia family. Jia Lian's nanny, Nanny Zhao, is also an old servant of the Zhen family, but Yinquan's features resemble Zhen Shiping a bit.No wonder he felt a little familiar when he first met Zhen Shiping, because Zhen Jia was born in the south of the Yangtze River and was an old relative, and Yinquan was not outstanding among the servants, so he didn't associate the two of them together.

A certain businessman looked at the servants and maids, and Baoyu waved them all down.

A certain businessman took out a letter from his pocket, and whispered forward: "The little one was ordered to deliver this letter, saying that the second master will understand it at a glance."

Baoyu opened the letter, and inside was a silver note marked by Zhen's family, which was exactly the amount of Jia Daihua's deposit; A piece of letter paper with no name and no signature, on which it is written, "The maidservant has a son, and the front edge is broken; the dog is a slave, and only seeks safety."

Fake stones can't tell the thousands of feelings in their hearts. The so-called "old relatives" only get married when they need each other and can help each other. With the passage of time, many things will not be the same. It's not that you really have to live on the deposit of silver. When you see that there is still something to say, you will return the deposit of silver, and you will entrust your servant to have a son. The 12-year-old boy understands everything, and Yinquan is low-key in his memory like a shadow. Without the livelyness that teenagers should have, his task is probably only one "survive". Even if something bad happens to the Jia family, a servant is nothing more than being sold , will not be beheaded.Starting from Zhenjiabori, the four generations have sent out so many maidservant children, and the quality of the ones that can be sent out is not bad. It is unknown whether they have any resentment in their hearts.

Baoyu needs silver a lot, and Yinquan wants to keep it. This is his first servant who holds a contract, so he is not allowed to live in peace. It is said that he himself still wants to be invisible, so he has to put it to good use!

So he nodded reservedly: "I accept this child with a smile, please, don't force my second brother Lian to death."

The author has something to say: Fake stone: In the future, I plan to escape like this "dog as a slave"——
