A Dream of Red Mansions Unexpected Visitors

Chapter 42 Qing Xuan Debates the Situation of the Jia Mansion

But he said that Ping'er returned to the banquet the next day, but the people in Yihong Courtyard waited all night, didn't even change their clothes, and slept indiscriminately all night.Now it's just sitting in the Yuyin Hall in the name of wine, and everyone is joking, and Youshi from the East Mansion brings Peifeng and Luan's second concubine to come to play. Although it is not as lively as last night, everyone is beating drums and passing flowers. Evening scenery, but also has its own interest.

Suddenly, I saw some people from the East Mansion running over in a panic, saying: "The old man has died!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's fine, there is no disease, why is it gone? "

The clever servant said: "Master practices every day, he must have achieved perfection and has gone to immortality." Although everyone knows that Master Jia Jing of the East Mansion must have died after taking elixir, but saying so is not enough. It sounds good, and it looks good.Youshi was also helpless, at this time there was no man in charge at home, so he hurriedly took off his makeup and ordered people to go to Xuanzhen Temple first to lock up all the Taoist priests, and wait for the uncle to come home for interrogation; Lai Sheng and his daughter-in-law went out of the city.Also ask the doctor to see what kind of disease it is.Although the man is dead and unable to diagnose the pulse, but seeing that Jia Jing's belly is as hard as iron, his skin and lips are burnt purple crimson and wrinkled, he knows that he has eaten too much of the golden pill, not to mention that this master is in order to practice. Scholars don't want to be officials, and their titles have been stolen by their sons. A few years ago, they even plucked a young girl, and said: "This is swallowing gold and taking sand, and died of burning."

The Taoist priests next to him also panicked. These Taoist priests, because of Jia Jing's worship, have eaten delicious food and spicy food every day, and are very happy. They never wanted Jia Jing to die.It's just that in recent days, Master Jia has seen his gray hair grow, and feels that he hasn't seen any results from his cultivation for decades, so he has become more and more anxious recently.I had no choice but to talk nonsense about a golden elixir that became a celestial being in the flesh, and I only succeeded yesterday. I and others ate and slept heavily yesterday, but who would have thought that Master Jing would secretly take the golden elixir himself.Today we can't tell the truth, so these Taoist priests said: "We also said that the heat is too low, and we can't take it. Unexpectedly, the master took it quietly, so he can't even take off his body. He can only be a corpse." Xie Xian, although this is the case, he has escaped the sea of ​​suffering, but it is a happy event."

Mrs. You didn't say much, even though he knew the doctor was right and those Taoist priests were just lying, but if the real cause of Master Jing's death got out, it would be embarrassing for Ning Rong and the Dukes of Ning and Rong. These Taoists can't let go either.He had to order someone to lock them up, waiting for Jia Zhen to make a decision, and then sent someone to report to Jia Zhen on a flying horse.

It's just that no matter how urgent it is, at least it will take half a month for Jia Zhen to come back. Now the weather is hot, and it is really impossible to park.You Shi took the initiative to preside over it, and the fortune teller calculated the date for encoffining, and within three days the dojo was established. Fortunately, the things were prepared in the early years, and it was cheap to use.It's just that the serious masters such as Sister Feng and Li Wan Baoyu are either resting, or they don't know anything about the outside world. Jia Zhen has already taken away the capable people, and Youshi has to entrust the outside affairs to some second-class housekeepers.He presides over the internal affairs by himself, Rongguo Mansion has an old lady, Ningguo Mansion has few people, and there is no housekeeper. Youshi brought his stepmother and two unmarried sisters to watch the mansion, so he is relieved.

As a result, Tanchun and the others saw Youshi in such a hurry, and praised Sister Feng as a hero of Jingchai. When she was in charge of Grandma Rong's affairs, she was not chaotic at all.Only Daiyu didn't take it seriously, she quietly said to Qingxuan: "Sister Qingxuan, I think Sister You is actually doing a good job, even if it looks bad on the outside, it's because the men at home are not around, so things inside are not in order .Moreover, when Sister Feng was there, Big Brother Zhen was there, Qin Zhixiao and Lai everyone were also there, which one is not the best."

Qingxuan just wanted to take this opportunity to talk to Daiyu. Although Qingxuan saw that Daiyu and Baoyu were just brothers and sisters these days, he seemed to be heartbroken. The girl's family usually talked about her future husband. Daiyu wasn't as joking as before, always talking about her parents' orders and matchmaker's words, she didn't seem to care about her future at all.

So Qingxuan said to Daiyu: "A woman's face outside is given by a man. Your sister You is not liked by your big brother Zhen, and her own natal family has no power. How dare you be as public as Sister Feng. She and Sister Feng Although both sons have no children, Sister Feng has raised a Qiaojie, which shows that she can bear children. She has been in the mansion for so many years, and she has no sons and half daughters. Dare to be arrogant. If she takes power, the old lady and brother Zhen will definitely think of her as a stepmother. If she takes over the whole family and treats Brother Rong harshly. You also know that Sister Feng is from the Wang family of the four major families , now Wang Ziteng is the inspector of the nine provinces, and the only one of the four families with high authority. The daughter of the Wang family married into the Rongguo Mansion, but not in the Ningguo Mansion. Your big brother Zhen wants to please the Wang family. The best thing to give to the daughter of the Wang family, you know where they can find a girl to marry the Wang family right now. It’s like now, everyone is good to each other.”

Daiyu nodded thoughtfully, and asked again: "Then there are no high-ranking officials in Jia's mansion now. The first uncle spends his days in the mansion looking for fun. Although the second uncle is a decent person, he just says no. It’s nice to hear, I haven’t been promoted to a higher rank in so many years, but it’s because of the imperial concubine, why is Sister Feng flattering the old lady so much.”

Qingxuan smiled, and said: "It can be seen that the girl understands that now this mansion is actually just an old man. Thinking about how wise your great-grandfather was, he still inherited the title of duke by his own ability, and found it for your mother. With a husband and son-in-law like your father, it is very appropriate to get a good match in civil and military affairs. Back then, the old subordinates of the Duke of the State still remembered the love they had back then. You can get so much filial piety. When you were young, you were always named Jia Yucun, but it was just a word from the mansion that made up for the lack of Yingtian Mansion. How can the Wang family not covet such a connection. It’s just that the relationship is actually with the old lady. body, so even if the old lady doesn’t care about the family, who in the house dares to disrespect the old lady. There is also a daughter-in-law from the Wang family who married into the first house and the second house. They have to please the old lady. In fact, the old lady is not reconciled. At that time, the four major families were headed by the Jia family. Now if the Jia family has no promising people, who can stand up for the old lady when she goes. In fact, I think that in the past The second wife in the first house is actually evenly matched, and now the second wife can compete with the old lady because she is the biological mother of Baoyu, whom the imperial concubine and the old lady have high hopes for, and the old lady is just jealous."

Daiyu sighed: "Men are incompetent, and they want women to suffer." Her expression was even more depressed.

Qingxuan quickly received it: "But if the men are capable, the people behind them will be able to live a safe and smooth life. I'm not talking too much, since the girl already knows that she and Baoyu are not good enough, why don't you plan for your future?" Fan, I just can take care of your life, what kind of future is up to the girl herself."

Daiyu was stunned, and after a while she said: "What else can I do, but I will leave a child to inherit the incense of the Lin family in the future, if I don't agree with this, I won't marry, as long as I agree with this, no matter what I agree with everyone."

Qingxuan just laughed angrily, really didn't realize that Daiyu went to another extreme.She said: "You think about everything well. In this world, who doesn't put children first, girl, your parents are both dead, even if there is an old lady protecting you, when you have a child who can be adopted, whether the old lady will be there or not is still a problem." Well, besides, you also know that the current situation of Rongguo Mansion is going from bad to worse, even if your husband agreed to you at the beginning, he has no feelings and no help from his natal family, what can you do if he backs out, can't he make up with you?"

Only then did Daiyu realize that she was thinking too well. Who would have thought that Qingxuan didn't think the blow was enough, so she still said: "Besides, didn't Mother Chen next to the girl say that the girl's husband is the emperor's finger marriage? Could it be that the girl can make her own decisions?" I advise the girl to make some plans. When the emperor decides to marry her, if she wants to ask about the girl's recent situation, she must ask Nanny Chen. The girl thinks about her own thoughts. I only hope that the emperor will care a little bit about what Nanny Chen says. , Think about how the girl feels."

Daiyu pondered for a long time before saying: "I made a mistake, sister, don't worry, I will treat my future husband with sincerity, and he will treat me with sincerity. It is good if the husband and wife are loving and respectful. Even if he spoils his concubine and kills his wife, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, I will not hurt others, but I will not let go of the position and power that I deserve. Go up, how can you demand others?"

Qingxuan nodded and shook his head again, and said: "Actually, I don't want to change the girl's way of life, I just want to say something to the girl, even Li Bai said that the husband of heaven and earth is the reverse journey of all things; As a passer-by, there are many sufferings in life. If you don’t look for joy, what’s the point? Girl, do it according to your heart. Sometimes your eyes will deceive yourself, your ears will deceive yourself, and your reason will deceive yourself. Only the heart does not. Yes, as long as it is the girl's true wish, those of us who follow the girl will support it."

After hearing this, Daiyu cried loudly in Qingxuan's arms with tears in her eyes. She has been mustering up the courage to try to be someone else's support these days, and her heart is so tired. From then on, Daiyu regained the liveliness that a girl should have.When Xiangyun and others teased her and Baoyu that they were a couple, she retorted with a smile: "How could it be? Even if my future husband-in-law cannot be successful, he must take responsibility and protect me."

Tanchun and the others said: "Don't you think Brother Bao is not enough to protect you? Doesn't that mean who is he talking about?"

Daiyu said: "I'm not talking about this, but when we are in danger, we can stand in front of me. Although fame and wealth are like dung, when the country needs it, we can also be a general and a prime minister. Make every effort to turn the tide.”

Xiangyun Tanchun smiled and said, "You mean this is Erlang God, right? Where can I find it?"

Daiyu said: "So Brother Bao will naturally be with Sister Bao when the time comes, why will he be with me?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone believed that Daiyu and Baochai really couldn't be together.
