The Red Mansion's Dress to Become the King of Beijing

Not only the old lady, but even the master thought the same thing earlier: Tanchun is the first choice!

Both the old lady and the master felt that the first thing they wanted to do with their girls was to be favored by the Prince of Beijing, so that they could get closer to the Prince of Beijing's residence. It won't be a drag on the family when the overall situation changes... This move can be said to be a two-way bet, and the family will not lose anyway.

What if my girl really fell in love with Wang Aizhong of Beijing Jing?Zheng Ke took advantage of the fact that the empress in the palace was in the limelight, and the Holy One felt guilty in the past few years, and worked together inside and outside to push the master up!Even if he can't be promoted immediately, the master's situation in the yamen will be much better.

To tell the truth, when she saw her daughter in Xiangshan and learned about her daughter's experience in the palace, Mrs. Wang was very distressed at that time: her beloved daughter entered the palace, encountered ups and downs, and even wasted her youth. She had never imagined these things, but She really didn't expect that her daughter, who is a virtuous concubine, would still encounter such a sad thing!

Without a child... this is a ~dragon~species!But it's sad to be sad, in a place like the palace, you must greet people with a smile every day!

For several days after that, Mrs. Wang couldn't sleep well, not to mention she couldn't laugh when people came and went—fortunately, she had facial paralysis.Only someone who knows what happened to Yuan Chun and is very familiar with Mrs. Wang can see how restless Mrs. Wang is.

Mrs. Wang went back to the capital, and it took a few more days to think about it thoroughly: I can't let go of this matter in the empress's heart, and I can't let go of this kind of thing, but the empress is angry, angry, and hateful. The energy of not being able to bear it and wanting to go all out has passed, and now I am afraid that she is thinking about revenge... So she pressed the question, and the empress answered her calmly.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang's heart ached beyond words.

The master felt uncomfortable for a few days and passed away. He must have thought in his heart that the empress should bear it, but as a mother, she must at least help the empress!

Tanchun is a shrewd girl, but she is separated from the empress after all... In terms of closeness, Baochai is closer.

And the younger sister is willing to give out the money, so that the master can move around with Shangfeng—otherwise, how can he persuade the master to leave his own daughter and not acquiesce in letting Baoyu match Baochai? !

In other words, Mrs. Wang is not worried that if Tanchun enters the Beijing Palace, she will have a bad life.

For a long time, Mrs. Wang believed that: Baochai, Yuanchun's cousin, must be more willing to take care of her mother than Yuanchun's half-sister, Tanchun.

Tanchun's talent and ability, her mother-in-law, who has never been kind to the concubine, recognized it from the bottom of her heart, but she firmly believed that if Yuanchun had something difficult to explain, Tanchun would never share her worries for her mother, but would choose to be wise and protect herself. .

In fact, Mrs. Wang really miscalculated: in terms of integrity, Tanchun is a level higher than Baochai.In terms of being wise and protecting one's life, Tanchun wants to bow down to Baochai.

Because this time was a bit bad and a bit unexpected matchmaking, water-soluble dizziness, after leaving aside the planning of the palace for the time being, he paid attention to the Rongguo Mansion.The current Rongguo Mansion is almost responsible for his jokes in his spare time.

It is said that Shui Rong simply appreciates Baochai, but after seeing Xue Pan's ability, it becomes appreciation and sympathy.

Baochai is not yet fifteen years old, and already possesses many traits of later generations of elites without a teacher: such as firmness and decisiveness, winking and knowing how to advance and retreat, and indifference...not to mention selfishness.

The vast majority of people in this world are selfish, isn't there such a saying, "People don't kill themselves for their own sake"?

It's just that as ordinary people who are equally selfish, many people can't do anything to gain favor by stepping on someone who has just passed away——Baochai's performance after Jin Chuan'er committed suicide is one of her most criticized places.

According to Baochai's performance yesterday, Baochai knew that her brother had done something stupid, so she was indeed too angry to speak, but after she regained her strength, she didn't ask Shui Rong to explain.

Yesterday, Shui Rong returned home directly after leaving the restaurant, Baochai would definitely catch up if he wanted to.After returning to the palace, the Xue family did not send anyone to explain.

There is no curfew in Beijing today.

But Shui Rong confirmed one thing: so far, Baochai's face is not thick.

From this, he felt that many of Baochai's choices in the original book were forced to do so: if he didn't follow Mrs. Wang's path, Baochai felt that it would be difficult for her to compete with Daiyu.Anyone who has basically read books and has even a little bit of morality knows that it is a very disgraceful thing to step on a dead person to rise to power.

Baochai tried her best to please almost all the elders and peers who could influence her and Baoyu's marriage.

It is true that Baoyu is very cowardly in front of his elders in many cases, but when it comes time for him to be decisive and bold...he directly becomes a monk, and basically does not care about the life and death of Baochai's wife, let alone Baochai's wishes.

I don't know if Baochai regretted it at that time... Shui Rong made a "presumptuous" guess, and there must be regrets.

Because Baochai does have true feelings for Baoyu, this cannot be denied, but Baochai's biggest goal is to "live a better life", her husband's family is rich and noble, and her husband is a good-looking talent or holds great power.

Unexpectedly, the more he thought about it, the further he thought about it, Shui Rong laughed at himself to the point of laughing: Why did he suddenly soften his heart?Not only do you sympathize with Baochai, but you also feel that Baoyu is also quite pitiful?Obviously I believe in "weakness is original sin".

Shui Rong was still distracted, Mei Fei's report and Baoyu's footsteps didn't make him "return to his seat", so Mei Fei had to greet him loudly, "My lord, the Second Master Bao of Rongfu has arrived."

Baoyu said when Shui Rong left last night that he would come to the door the next day, and of course he would come today as promised—even if he didn't want to come, his parents would force him.

After meeting each other, Shui Rong asked with a smile while drinking tea, "I'm quite curious. From yesterday until now, why hasn't there been any movement in Xue's house? Are you here?"

How do you ask Baoyu to answer this?

Tell the truth.In Baoyu's heart, how could his cousin Xue Pan compare to Beijing King Shui Rong?

Baoyu forced a smile, "Don't dare. It doesn't make me have the audacity to come here to find out..." He snorted softly, "I'm sorry."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "It's not your fault, why are you paying?"

In fact, Baoyu has always been worried: don't implicate him because of his cousin.But he also felt that King Beijing Jing was not such a small-hearted person.

Last night, my cousin...was any different from a ruffian?Brother Feng, Brother Wei couldn't stand it, even his cousin couldn't stand it!

So Baoyu said: "My aunt and cousin cried at home for half the night, but my cousin was sound asleep as if nothing happened. This morning... I went out before dawn. My aunt sent someone to look for it, but they couldn't find it."

Shui Rong laughed loudly: "Why is it like hiding from gambling debts?"

Baoyu also laughed: "He really owes gambling debts. He doesn't do this. When I go home and make jokes, my aunt can't bear it anymore and gives him money to buy the casino."

Whether you like him or not, Baoyu is indeed simple, but his intelligence... and beauty cannot be denied.

Hearing the deep disdain in Baoyu's words, Shui Rong said again, "Does your aunt have any regulations?"

Baoyu wondered: "My lord, what regulations do you have? I won't talk about my aunt's side. It's obvious that my cousin is at fault, and my parents..." He thought about it and said honestly, "I don't want to interfere."

Shui Rong also said bluntly: "Your parents are afraid of causing trouble, so they hid."

Baoyu was frighteningly honest, "The money my aunt gave was not enough to get my father to come forward. My father was always timid. How could the prince not know? Not to mention my father, even my mother doesn't want to touch it anymore. It's too embarrassing." Yes, they... I think it means that they are not afraid of losing money and avoiding disasters, just please don't get involved."

Shui Rong looked at Baoyu for the first time today, the kind of "face up" that looked at Baoyu from head to toe seriously, "You are very different today."

Baoyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not stupid! Asking for Austrian aid... My sister came first, right? Suddenly it was changed to my cousin, there must be a reason? I just asked, and my mother didn't want to tell me. I was After going around in circles, I only found out after asking my cousin's subordinates before."

"Okay," Shui Rong praised generously, "They're going to fight in a roundabout way?"

Baoyu secretly said: I have already said that I am not that stupid... In a flash, he realized what he looked like in the eyes of others.

He suddenly became depressed, "I didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb on purpose." He was silent for a while, and then whispered, "If I don't ask about family affairs, no one will tell me; if I ask, the family members don't want to talk!"

Did you deliberately hide it from him because you thought he was useless?

Water soluble and happy: From this point of view, Baoyu is far from being uncarvable.

As long as there is a suitable opportunity, Baoyu will also "move forward", but his "move forward" is obviously because "the matter is not of his own concern", even if it fails, it is nothing.

Baoyu was at the age of a junior high school student...in the 21st century ~Tian~ Dynasty, a junior high school student, what kind of work does his parents do, how much money do they earn, what kind of business does the family have, what kind of business does the business operate, and which family has a good relationship with them. If you don't deal with anyone, you always have a minimum understanding.

In the original book, Baoyu really doesn’t know anything about these things. He just cares about himself, and even when Daiyu expresses concern about the future of Rongfu, he directly says, “If there is no shortage of you and me, that’s it”... …I can’t remember the exact words, but that’s the general idea.

Baoyu's behavior is of course directly related to his personality: he is impatient with his official career and economics, but Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, as a parent, and Jia's mother, as a grandmother, didn't intend to subtly confess to Baoyu?

Especially Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and his wife, is that how they taught their heirs?The Rongguo Mansion is now the third generation, and the wealth seems to be coming to an end, but even so, Shui Rong doesn't think Mrs. Jia Zhengwang doesn't have such an IQ.

Shui Rong made another "malicious" guess: After the handover, the authority should be distributed and assigned to the staff, so let the son practice his skills, right?Mrs. Wang is fine, but Jia Zheng... Maybe he is reluctant, or finds it "troublesome".

In fact, Jia Zheng, as an old and middle-level official, is right that his ability is limited, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be stupid and sweet.

When Jia Zheng was at home, he always drank tea and wine with his diners, and recited poems against each other... Hearing the compliments from his diners—if he really admired the great hermit, wouldn’t it be over if he resigned and retired?But this second master still wants to go further.

In terms of ambition and desire for power, Jia She is completely inferior to his own brother.

To sum up, Jia Zheng loves power and Mrs. Wang loves money. These two couples are really a perfect match.

So Shui Rong felt more and more sympathetic to Baoyu, looked at Baoyu with eyes full of love and compassion, and directly saw Baoyu shivering.

Mei Fei coughed lightly at the side: As a big companion, it cannot be said that he is inseparable from the prince, but he has had some contact with the prince since he was a child. He began to serve him personally before and after the prince took off service, and he has a good understanding of his prince's temperament and hobbies...

The prince loves~beauty~color, but this "love" doesn't have to do something to the beauty... It's just like this just now, it's very rare to look at a beauty with fascination.

He tried to remind the prince: he knew who the prince was, but he didn't want him to be misunderstood by others.

In fact, Mei Fei doesn't cough and is sober in water.He could guess what Mei Fei was thinking with his toes, and he glanced at Mei Fei expressionlessly: What do you think of me!

The lord's eyes clashed with his servant's, which made Baoyu laugh out loud.

Baoyu also believed in King Jing's character, otherwise he would have already started, so why wait until now?

Shui Rong looked at Baoyu again, and made up his mind: if there is a chance to mention Baoyu in the future, whether it can be done or not depends on Baoyu himself.

He is not good at being a teacher or something, and besides, his gang is "waiting to be fed" and let him "nurture" fresh science and technology.

Finally, before Baoyu left, Shui Rong said: For your sake, you can forgive me, just don't let me see Xue Pan again during this period.

In fact, Shui Rong is because of the face of Baoyu, the hero of the original novel, and Baochai, the parallel heroine, and is too lazy to pursue it.When he mentions Baochai now, Baoyu will definitely misunderstand.

Just relying on the word "disrespect" is enough for Xue Pan to drink a pot, and the minimum to enter the "game" is to calm down.

And this time Xue Pan didn't learn much, if he causes trouble again in the future, it will probably be a big disaster again.

Shui Rong is willing to give Baoyu some help when necessary, or even help Baoyu, but Xue Pan... so far it is really not worth it.

After Baoyu's mission was completed and he returned home...he had just stepped into the house, and before he got off his horse, the servant waiting here hurriedly invited him to Jia Zheng's inner study.

Since it is the inner study, not only Mrs. Wang is there, but Aunt Xue is also there.

When Baoyu saw his aunt, he didn't feel guilty at all, even though he didn't say anything nice for the Xue family from the beginning to the end: his cousin got into trouble and hid himself; There is no apology from the palace to show their affection...

So Baoyu reported to the elders that King Beijing did not intend to pursue it, and then went straight to Jiamu's yard: he had to pay his respects to his grandmother when he returned home.

Arriving at Jiamu's side, Baoyu asked Yuanyang to lead the door in person. After a closer look, not only her own sisters were there, but her second sister-in-law and sister Bao were also guarding her grandmother.

Sister Bao's eyes are not swollen yet.

Baochai is eager to know the result now, otherwise she won't be able to sleep tonight: the disaster caused by her brother has already spread throughout the Rong family in one night and half a day.Even if others don't know how to make a joke, she has to bite the bullet and come over.

But Sanchun and Daiyu really don't have the intention to read a joke, they are full of pity: who has such a brother, even if you are very talented, so what?Don't you want to be dragged down?

Daiyu and Tanchun can think a little more: Aunt Xue's petting of the big brother of the Xue family is the result of his behavior.

Speaking of which, although this matter is embarrassing, it can also embarrass Madam Wang and Wang Xifeng. Many wives in the house are very happy to see it.So this bit of nonsense about the Xue family spread throughout the entire Rong Mansion overnight, and of course the father and son in the Ning Mansion also knew about it.

Tanchun was young, but she also had eyes and ears, a woman and girl who was willing to pass on news to her.She should have "sight and hearing".

Even on Daiyu's side, it was not Baoyu, who had witnessed it, who came to tell her, but Zijuan vomited up after hearing the gossip, and Baoyu came to talk...that's all "later things".

By the way, Zijuan is a big girl who came out of the old lady. Ever since Baochai entered the mansion and made friends with her second master Jiabao, this big girl has become vigilant.She doesn't speak ill of Baochai, but pays attention to Baochai's words and deeds, and occasionally reminds her daughter to think about herself.

As for Jia's mother... the old lady is old and smart, and no one dared to hide this matter from her--Jia Zheng, a person who did something wrong and slapped him in the face, could just throw his hands away, and he would definitely not bear the responsibility.But he is good, he chose Baochai instead of Tanchun, this choice was so wrong, he shrank his head and went back to his study, never thought of suppressing the news.

However, it was because of this that the old lady was even more disappointed with him, but so what?

She knew in her heart: the elders valued Baochai far more than Daiyu.But she didn't think it was good, whether she said she was partial to her granddaughter or said she was a family member, she was sure that a girl who came from a merchant always had a shallower vision.

Well, this time Bao Yatou's vision is not shallow, but she can see that this kind of marriage is not easy to do with Bao Yatou's own brother!

In fact, ~old~ the two families tend to Baochai, and they also want to find a shrewd and capable daughter-in-law who can hold her back... Even if Daiyu is not worthy of Baoyu, she still has to choose an official family or someone who has always been close People are in-laws.

Mother Jia thought about this for a long time: she chose Brother Feng back then because the Wang family had a prince named Teng.But now relying on Wang Ziteng alone, his two sons can stand here, how can Mother Jia feel at ease?No matter what, I have to find a stronger in-law.And ~Old~Er broke this road for the sake of money... Her daughter-in-law's persuasion and recommendation were all behind it!

The second child can only see what is in front of her eyes, but Mother Jia is already wary of the ambitions of the second family: Seeing the benefits, she will intervene in everything, and let her people take over everything!

In fact, to be honest, Mother Jia has never been very optimistic about the girls of the Wang family. Although Daiyu just came to her and said, "A woman without talent is virtue", that is probably to remind her granddaughter... because Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng are two people. They are not very literate.

Even though Jia's mother said so, all the girls in Jia's family read books, and Yuanchun entered the palace as the first female history - can I choose female history if I don't have any ink in my stomach?

But Baoyu has seen the sisters in the house, and saw that the second sister-in-law is smiling more sincerely than before, and then carefully looked at the old lady—in the palace, Baoyu has really seen the face of King Jingjing, and now he is back and concentrates look at his grandmother...

He suddenly remembered: Grandma doesn't like a nosy daughter-in-law!When his grandmother and mother were both in front of him and asked him to choose to stand on one side, he chose "to help the gift but not to help the relatives".

So when he faced his grandmother and a group of sisters-in-law and sisters, he talked more than when he faced his parents, Aunt Xue-everything that can be said in the dialogue has been said, there is no room for fuss, but he can talk about North Korea. King Jing's expression at that time.

After a long conversation, he waited for the answer.

Everyone in the room could hear clearly: King Beijing doesn't care.But King Jing asked specifically why Baoyu came here, and where is Baoyu's cousin who caused trouble?

Baoyu is also true, telling everyone that he told the truth about the whereabouts of Xue's elder brother.

Hearing these words, Baochai's heart was pounding, and for the time being, she and her cousin Wang Xifeng could see how Baochai felt about Xue Pan.

No matter how sad Baochai felt, she didn't feel that there was something wrong: she also secretly resented her brother for messing around!When Baoyu caused trouble, she had to come to explain. If Baoyu said she hated it, it would be considered light.

And Wang Xifeng didn't hide it now - it was the first time for all the girls to see her with a frozen face, and she refused to even fake a smile.

However, Mother Jia was obviously not happy. Sister Feng was consistent with Mother Jia this time, so others naturally had nothing to say.

Xue Pan is also Sister Feng's cousin, at this moment she is complaining in her heart that Aunt Xue doesn't care about her son!This is the capital city, not Jinling... In fact, it is Jinling. Xue Pan couldn't survive the life lawsuit, so he took advantage of the trend—following the trend of his sister's move to Beijing for election, to live in Beijing.

Sister Feng is already familiar with taking up lawsuits, but she has no intention of expanding her "business" into the capital... She knows the minimum of awe. Her uncle, Prince Tenggui, is a first-rank official. It is also far from the point of rampant.

So she looked down on Xue Pan very much in her heart: How could she be able to play tricks and roll around in front of the prince?Who did you learn this from!Intuit is not on the table!

And what made Sister Feng quite annoyed was that they recommended Baochai, which was an afterthought for their eldest wife, that is, only after Xue Pan broke the office!

It's useless to worry about these after the fact. Sister Feng just thinks that the second wife has done too much.

After that, Mother Jia asked Baoyu a few more words, and then sent Baoyu back to the house to change clothes.Baoyu left, and this side also dispersed for the time being.

Sister Feng intends to persuade Baochai, but then she thinks that this cousin has always been strong, so she may not think of your affection for persuading her now.

Let Sister Feng tell the truth: Baochai will stand firm when she really enters the palace. She may not be good at taking care of Rongfu where Rongfu is useful, but Tanchun... will do her best.

Because of Baochai's life in the world, it can be seen that she is not very good at showing affection, and Xue's family is separated from Rongfu after all.

Going deeper, if Baochai can't enter the palace, if he wants to choose a good son-in-law, he must either be a high-ranking and powerful man who doesn't care about Xue Pan who is holding him back;

The former Baochai can't climb, and the latter Baochai doesn't like it, so Baochai's marriage is not easy at all.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng sighed, and said with conscience, "Persuade my aunt more, and look at your brother more." Jia Lian Baoyu is both a dude, but these two brothers together are not as good as Xue Pan will cause trouble.

What else can Baochai say?I can only nod silently.

A visit to Jia Mu's yard made Baochai's heart cold again.Sister Feng's opinion, Baochai can't guess, but it is similar to her cousin's idea: Baochai's shrewdness includes self-knowledge.

In just one day, it was enough for Baochai to make up her mind: find a way to control her brother, otherwise her good marriage will be like a flower in a mirror!

After returning to Lixiangyuan, my mother just came back, so Baochai asked her brother's whereabouts as soon as he entered the door.

Aunt Xue's tears were just dry at the moment, seeing that her daughter's aura was not right, she was inexplicably guilty, "There is no sign of her, my son," she pulled Baochai, "Don't be angry, I know that bastard is sorry for you, But... you... teach me how to live?!"

Baochai didn't even need to look carefully to know that her brother had escaped early, and her mother probably...wasn't ignorant: at this time, my brother wanted to hide, but my mother still wanted to use money to ask others to come forward!King Beijing Jing is known to be well-mannered and talkative. My brother dare not come to the door to make amends in person. Where did his courage go yesterday?

At the same time, Baochai couldn't help being disappointed: in her mother's heart, she was considerate and capable, after all, she couldn't compare to her elder brother who spent most of his time wasting money and causing trouble!

Baochai knew that she was angry, so she shouldn't say anything more at this time, she just said, "The prince doesn't care about brother's rudeness, why did mother even forget to give an apology?"

Aunt Xue was stunned. She really forgot in her turmoil, but she couldn't help but said when her daughter questioned her like this, "Your aunt said to wait for news from Baoyu..."

Baochai was completely speechless.

But when Baochai was very angry, Xue Pan was staying in the gentle village: the beauty's soft words and tenderness made Xue Pan, who had already eaten half a jar of fine wine, forget what he did last night.

It's also hard for Xue Pan to imagine that yesterday, when he stood up for his younger sister, he caused his younger sister to have an irreconcilable disagreement with him.

It is said that Xue Pan came out to hide from the limelight, but he didn't expect to be away from home for several days in a row.Calculating that the time was about the same, he reluctantly came out of Ruanrouxiang, and happened to meet Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying was startled when she saw Xue Pan, and immediately wanted to give Xue Pan a thumbs up.

Now that they met, the two still exchanged a few words, and Feng Ziying asked specifically, "Did you come to make amends? The King of Beijing has never been difficult to be a man."

Xue Pan didn't have any quick wits, so he could only hesitate a few words when told so.At any rate, he knew that if he lied at this time, he would be exposed in a blink of an eye.

What kind of person is Feng Ziying?With a few words from Xue Pan, he can see through the truth: If Mr. Wang doesn't take action to discipline him, this... is useless.

The in-laws and cousins ​​of this, that is, the sons and brothers of Ningrong and Rongfu, there are indeed no outstanding ones, but they know that the capital is not a place where one can act recklessly, and all troubles are done behind closed doors; once they go out, they must be cautious, even today There is no bad name for evil deeds.

Poor Feng Ziying didn't know there was such a saying: The ignorant have no fear.

Hearing Feng Ziying sent someone to make a small report, Shui Rong shook his head: Baochai is not a master who swallows his anger, it's good if he can figure it out sooner.

Aunt Xue and Baochai are actually quite cool to some extent, but Xue Pan is more righteous, but to be honest, it might be better for Xue Pan to be cool.

However, Xue Jiarong's mansion has buried hidden dangers because of this incident, and Shui Rong doesn't care about it. He is now inspecting the first cement road in the Wang's mansion.

In a place like the capital where every inch of land is expensive, the area of ​​the Beijing Prince's Mansion is not small, and there is a small school yard in the Palace, which can apparently store a hundred soldiers.

This time, the first concrete road to be paved is the school ground... on the side, the road from the Fuwei dormitory to the school ground.

Originally, the main roads of Beijing Prince's Mansion were all cobbled roads, and the small roads were also paved with sand, but no matter how hard you try, if it rains...you'd better not go out, and the cobbled roads are beautiful and easy to walk, but they are very brittle and cannot withstand tossing , at least relying on my own house guards to practice back and forth every day, the stone road has almost turned into a small stone road.

However, the cement has just started to be paved, and it is gray and smooth, and it feels no different from the cobblestone road when walking. Others...you can't see it for the time being.

The big housekeeper, Wang Dong, is very clear: In his opinion, cement is earth-fired, and the cost... There is no cost. From firing cement bricks to paving roads, the most expensive part is the labor cost.

After the water-soluble inspection and acceptance of the cement road, as soon as he looked up, he met Wang Dong who was full of admiration... eager eyes.After he came up with some new technologies and new products that outsiders considered to be very imperial, he received several waves of reverent and adoring eyes from all over the house.

From the point of view of the favorability system, it means that the whole palace is green.The sense of vanity and satisfaction can never be too much. Just now, Shui Rong was a little proud, and the small icon suddenly jumped out to "splash cold water", "What is green, gold is the limit of favorability."

"Golden color?" Shui Rong asked curiously, "Love me so much that you are willing to die for me?"

The small icon flashed an ellipsis in most of the field of vision, "You think too much."

The author has something to say: two-in-one, fat.
