[Red House Chai Dai] Salted Pork Knuckle, Crab Rice Wine

Baochai was startled, but she didn't know how to answer, so she heard Qin say again: "The world spreads rumors and hears that the wind is rain. I can't argue with them if they make up some of these things. It's just that you and Xifu Lifeng My aunt is my aunt's cousin, so why didn't you ask her to go over it before coming here?"

Baochai has always been calm and has a city in her chest, but for some reason, seeing Qin's appearance like this, she is unwilling to hide it from her, and while hesitating, who would have thought that Qin is also the most delicate and transparent character, she has already seen the clue.Only to hear Qin sneered again and said: "I was wrong. You must have got Aunt Feng's idea when you come here. I just said that we played speculatively since we were young. It's better than this one. She must be right for me. There is a bit of sincerity. I didn't expect that the wall was falling and everyone was pushing, and before others heard of it, she got up first. I thought highly of her." The voice was very sullen.

Baochai shook her head and smiled wryly: "I guess it's because I usually don't like her, so I don't know if I'm prevaricating and seeing me make a fool of myself."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Qin shook her head and said: "How can it be so simple. My Aunt Feng has tens of thousands of minds, at least. I'm afraid it's a trivial matter to make you look ugly. You have to deal with me with my mother-in-law." Really. In the past, when my family was good, the women talked and laughed, how close they were, but now seeing that my family is not doing well, the old ladies and wives in the West Mansion may change their faces before they know the news." Speaking of this , I just felt a bone-chilling loneliness arise from the bottom of my heart.

Baochai was secretly surprised, and thought to herself: Sure enough, what Mrs. Wang said earlier was true, she had a different origin, and it was definitely not as simple as an abandoned baby brought by the Qin family from the Yangshengtang.Otherwise, how can you have such confidence?The "my family" she mentioned is by no means the Qin family, it's just that one thing more is worse than one thing less, why bother to ask?An inadvertent move will lead to a fatal disaster.

Seeing the change in Baochai's expression, Mrs. Qin didn't ask carefully, but sighed to herself: "The brilliance of a gentleman will be cut off in five generations. Now there is no man in Rongning and Ningxia who can take the lead except him. Jia Lian only cares about playing tricks, and the rest are short-sighted and embarrassing. I said that Aunt Feng is the hero of the makeup team, and I hoped that she would help me, but I didn't expect that she would help the foolish woman to gain some confidence. I am a dying person, my face will be ruined, so why not be afraid, but from now on, the reputation of the Jia family will be ruined!"

Baochai was only thinking about who the "he" in Qin's mouth was referring to. If it was Jia Rong, she would not look like him anyway. He also thought about the rumors in the two houses that she was at odds with Jia Zhen. he?Just in doubt, the Qin family said again: "I also know what you mean by coming now. It must be because of your brother that you offended that child Qin Zhong. It’s the same as before. I’m afraid I’m not comfortable, so I sent you to the house to plead guilty. It’s just that you shouldn’t dress like this. My mother-in-law is trying to find my fault, so she ordered someone to call me, a patient, to accompany her for a walk early in the morning. Yuanzi, I said I would come to tease Fengxuan to rest when I was tired from walking. I didn’t want to fall into her tricks. You dress up like this and wait in the pavilion. It seems that I made an appointment to steal some kind of man. ! The servants of the screwdriver are most likely to hear that the wind is the rain, so let’s talk about it, what’s the point of you and me?”

Baochai was secretly startled.Firstly, she has not yet left the court, and then she did not expect that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would plan to come to this point, secondly, she seldom came to Ningguo Mansion, and it was the first time she met Qin Shi, so she couldn't prevent Qin Shi from being so outspoken and refusing to save face for You Shi .Seeing Qin's eyes that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, she looked straight at herself, and said with a smile: "The clean is cleared by itself. Fortunately, I am a daughter, so it's not a problem."

Qin sneered and said: "It's okay? What do you know? Why is that grandma Zhu in your Daoxi mansion not treated well by others? Being a woman is hard life! A slight mistake in behavior is a lifetime matter. The Li family only said The water splashed by a married daughter, who cares about her life? That's all, she has a boy at least, and she can still guard it. My parents are too much. When I was not in the grass, I only hoped to be a leader Yes, I planed in many ways, and when I knew it was my daughter's house, I let it go, like mud and rubble. Otherwise, why would I end up here, and why would I have to suffer from Youshi's idleness every day?"

Baochai saw that Qin's anger became more and more angry, and she thought to herself that it was not a good thing to say something shallow, so she hurriedly said with a smile: "Where did grandma say this? I am still young, so I don't understand. Grandma has just recovered from a long illness. It is inevitable to be more thoughtful, and this is not a big deal. Usually, grandma respects sister-in-law Zhen and is praised by the whole family, and sister-in-law Zhen also treats grandma like her own girl. Ladies are all kind, why bother to think and feel sad because of these trivial things? Don't worry, grandma, I'm not the one who passed on the message. Who will remember this in my heart, but I will forget it after hearing it. Please take care of yourself, grandma, think less and move more..."

Before Baochai finished speaking, the Qin family had already changed color: "After all, you came to teach me a lesson? Although you are a girl, you are also from an imperial merchant family. Don't you understand the principle that harmony makes money? The Xue family has sent you here! I often hear people say that you can be a man, but I only know that you are like a phoenix girl. I'm talking about the truth! Do you think that my family is down and out, so I can let you teach me a lesson?"

Baochai knew she had said something wrong, blushed and said nothing.In terms of seniority, she was twice as tall as the Qin family, but now she is in a stronger position than others, so she can only bow her head to be taught.Then I heard Mrs. Qin start to teach: "Although I haven't seen you before, I already knew your virtuous name. I only know that you are really a smart child, just like a phoenix girl, and you can take on the big things of ups and downs. Unexpectedly, you are a A fool who is dead on reading. You must know that the three cardinal guides and five constant rules, three obediences and four virtues were originally compiled by meddlesome people to deceive people. It was only spread because it coincided with the meaning of the leader on the dragon chair. Smart people use this as a cover, only In order to secure my own position, I never regarded the words of the so-called sages and sages as an imperial decree. Even if it is an imperial decree, it is like farting. Picking noses and eyes at others. Who am I, how can I allow you to make irresponsible remarks here?"

In fact, Qin's saying that Baochai is a fool who has studied hard is extremely mean, but it is not without reason.

Baochai has read poetry and books since she was a child, and was deeply educated by Confucianism. She looks peaceful, but in fact she is round on the outside and square on the inside. When encountering things that violate Confucian etiquette, she can't tolerate sand in her eyes.For example, she was well aware of Sister Feng's usual behavior, she couldn't get used to it, she believed that she was not from the same group, and kept her at a respectful distance, so even though she was a cousin, it was better to get closer to Mrs. Wang and Sister Sanchun.

Baochai thought she was covering it up very well, but after all, Sister Feng was several years older than her, so smart and sophisticated, how could she not know her intentions?Sister Feng was already jealous of her, and with this addition, she became even more alienated.For example, this time Xue Pan and Qin Zhong made a scene, although Xue Pan was reckless, but Sister Feng knew the news that the Qin family had collapsed, if she was willing to reveal a word in front of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, what would Jia Mu do? Will it be sideways, forcing the Xue family to bow their heads and admit their mistakes?No matter how bad it is, it would not be possible to come up with such a bad idea, causing Baochai and the Qin family to almost lose face.

Baochai's face turned red and white, and he secretly heard people say that Grandma Qin in the East Mansion was arrogant and moody. When I first saw her, I saw that she was very pitiful and well-organized. Deliberately slandering her, unexpectedly did not say a few words, and already doubted the sage.If in the past, according to Baochai's temperament, it is still okay to offend yourself, but it is absolutely not advisable to offend sages, and you must quote scriptures and debate with others.Now people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, they have to grit their teeth and bear it, but a sense of grievance and resentment comes from the bottom of their hearts, and it is difficult to suppress it, without saying a word.

The two people in Doufengxuan stood and sat one by one, silent for a long time.Baochai only hoped that You Shi would come back quickly to rescue her, and wondered in her heart: Why have you been away for so long and haven't come back, and no one has invited the doctor? Is it true that the Ningguo Mansion has completely abandoned Qin Shi as Qin Shi said? ?

Qin half-sat half-lyed on a couch for the imperial concubine, took a few breaths, and gradually calmed down, looked at Baochai and sighed, but spoke much softer: "Many people in the world are like this, throwing away watermelon for sesame seeds. Yes, I can’t complain that one generation is not as good as the next generation. Look at those princes and brothers who are blindly messing around. How many of them can take care of the affairs of the clan, or devote themselves to their official career? There must be a few outstanding people in the clan If you are responsible, this family will not decline, and the other children can continue to spend their days and nights, living the dreams of their sons and brothers. You are also a hard-fated man, but you were born with such an elder brother. It is very embarrassing to think about it."

These words are different from the previous angry and harsh words, but they are gentle and gentle, and they are very reasonable.Hearing this, Baochai got to the heart of the matter, and was stared at by Qin Shi's eyes, feeling in a trance that there was endless care in those eyes, for some reason, her nose was sore, and she almost cried.She thought about it, and hurriedly saluted Qin to apologize: "It's because my brother was too reckless and impulsive. He offended Mr. Qin. I..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Qin Shi had already waved her hands wearily: "I told the Qin family long ago that if Qin Zhong's child doesn't learn well, even the gods will be hard to save him. But he loves to play and doesn't study hard, instead Who can blame me for working hard on some nonsensical things? Now that I am in such a state and the current situation is like this, do I think and get annoyed because of these trivial things? Besides, even if I want to pursue it, I am afraid It can’t be pursued.”

Baochai was relieved when she saw that Qin Shi clearly stated that she would not pursue it. Because she was concerned about the right and wrong of Ningfu, she should not stay for a long time. Trying to be virtuous, although it is a little pedantic, it can't be wrong. Since you and I have met once, let me give you a piece of advice: since you are unfortunately a daughter, other things are fine, but the word love is Wan Those who must not be contaminated, if they accidentally slipped their feet, relying on all kinds of ambitions and all kinds of plans, it is nothing, and they will be trampled like dead leaves and weeds..."

To Baochai, these words were like a bolt from the blue.She didn't know how to answer more and more.When he wanted to interrupt, he just felt that Qin shi ignored him as if he was confessing to the funeral, but there was no way to interrupt.Just as he was feeling embarrassed, he suddenly heard footsteps from outside. Where the door curtain sounded, it was a man striding in.

Baochai took a look and saw that it was Jia Zhen. Because she couldn't avoid it, she made up her mind to go forward to salute, call her brother, and then take advantage of the situation to leave.Unexpectedly, just after Jia Zhen entered the door, she opened her mouth to Qin and said: "I heard from Peifeng that the woman insisted on dragging you to wander around the garden, so I knew it was not good, so I hurried over, and on the way I heard Kaiyuan say that you fainted. Are you better now?" Before saying a word, he saw someone else in the room, seeing a strange man in men's clothes, unconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Baochai hurriedly greeted Jia Zhen and explained her identity. When explaining her clothes, she only said lightly that she was naughty for a while, trying to be fresh. I don't want to say more, but after exchanging a few pleasantries, Baochai took a chance to leave.Jia Zhen was relieved, and she would not stay.
