Lin Ruhai of the Red Chamber Reborn

Chapter 107: Extra Story 3

After Jia Lian became a filial piety, he went to Beijing to resume his post, but Jia Amnesty stayed in Jinling.

At the beginning, because of an accident in the Jia family, after Jia She returned to Beijing, after cooking, he bought two stunning maids to drink and hang out together without any scruples. Timid, watery, it seems that a gust of wind can blow away, how can he bear his temper?

What's more, Jia Amnesty's errand was nothing more than white-collar money and food. Now Emperor Changqing was very much an official who took care of a group of corpses and vegetarian meals. Jia Amnesty knew that he was among them.

Normally, if Jia Lian didn't pass the examination, he would probably be able to win a title similar to Jia Zhen's. If he relied on his ability, he might be able to win Jia Amnesty's first-class general without demotion.However, Jia Lian was born in the imperial examination, and it is not uncommon for Jia Lian to be an old noble in his ancestors. Seeing that none of the noble families in the court came to a good end, and his own family had long since lost his old department, he wrote a letter of resignation and went on to be his own magistrate.

This time when he returned to Beijing to return to his post, there was another incident. Emperor Changqing was very pleased to promote him to the fourth rank.

Even though Jia Lian is indeed talented and shrewd, it is rare for him to be promoted quickly.Although some people were jealous, but thinking that Jia Lian had rejected the only remaining title of his ancestors, Emperor Changqing wanted to make up for it, so he stopped talking.

Mrs. Dou had no relationship with Jia She, and Jia She refused to leave, but she packed her bags and went to the post with her son and daughter-in-law. Wouldn't it be better to have grandchildren than in Jinling?Jia Amnesty is most reluctant to part with his grandson, how can he be willing?After arguing several times with reason, the eldest grandson Jia Fu was finally retained, also because Jia Lian wanted him to study in the academy set up by the Lin family.

Lin Ruhai originally set up an academy for the children of the clan. After so many years, it has already become famous all over the world, and there is an endless stream of scholars. Jia Lian studied in it for several years, and knows its atmosphere, and Jiangnan is a place of humanities in the world. , There are so many talented scholars, almost every time they occupy more than half of the places in Chunwei. Jia Fu's study here is much better than in remote places.Jia Fu was not too young, he was born smart and stable, and with Lin Rui in Jinling to take care of him, Jia Lian was at ease.

These years the crown prince is still in Nanjing, the crown princess has also come, and the eldest grandson of the only emperor stays with the queen to raise him.The husband and wife respect Empress Yu very much, and they know that Empress Yu's knowledge is beyond their reach, so they are also willing.

Lin Rui stayed in Jinling all the time, and he was promoted in Jinling, so he got better and better with the prince.

Baochai was hopeful, and she suggested that Baoyu also go to the academy to study. Even if Baoyu could no longer be born in the imperial examination because of Baoyu's status, but Jiamu is gone, and she is a woman. After all, she can't rely entirely on herself. His talent is superior to that of ordinary people. It is also a benefit to study hard for a few years, and then teach students to receive training.

After the filial piety period, Jialan and Jiahuan are all settled.

As Jia Lan grows older, Li Wan is worried about her marriage, but because of her status, her reputation as a concubine cannot change Jia Lan's identity due to the crimes committed by Jia's family. , Bo was born.How could Li Wan be willing?However, Jia Lan had already made up her mind, so she had to agree with tears.

Jia Amnesty is not very kind to his son, but he has always been very kind to his nephews and grandchildren. He made a promise at the beginning, and after hearing what he said, he immediately repaired a letter and sent it to some people in the old family of Jia's family who are now in Ping'an Prefecture. They found Jalan a civil job.Jia Lan is good at reading, riding and shooting, and has not failed all these years. Jia She has noticed it and written it in the letter. The news came soon, and Jia She immediately ordered several officers to accompany him. Send Jialan to Ping'an Prefecture.

As for Jia Huan, although he has some ability in reading, he knows that it is difficult to make progress, and it is difficult to have a family background. Somehow, he became interested in business.He would have been able to observe words and expressions, Caiyun Caixia, the two maids in Mrs. Wang's room, had a deep affection for her, and often stole Mrs. Wang's things to him and Aunt Zhao, you can see his ability.

Jia She hated Jia's mother's eccentricity the most in his life, which caused him to be in a corner, so he admired Jia Huan who was also not loved by Jia's mother, and took out his own ladder to make capital for him, plus Jia Huan's own share of the ladder , In just a few months, he more than doubled his profit, so he was called to do business.

Both Li Wan and Aunt Zhao felt hopeful, and there was no pressure from Mrs. Wang, so they smiled every day.

When Baochai sees this, how can he not worry about himself?How can we not look forward to Baoyu's progress?She explained it to Baoyu in detail, and strongly suggested that he can learn something.But Baoyu has a stubborn temper. Whenever Baochai mentions this matter, she gets angry and walks away. Baochai is so angry that she turns pale and loses face in front of her maid.

Because of Yunyu, Baoyu treated Xiren differently at the beginning, and he relied heavily on her on weekdays. Xiren was among those who wanted to live and die together.Unexpectedly, since Baochai entered the door, Xiren was sent out first, leaving only Sheyue.Sheyue was originally cultivated and educated by Xiren. She has Xiren's stability and peace, but has no shortcomings, and Qingwen's ingenuity, but also has no shortcomings.Whenever Baoyu was at odds with Baochai, he would go to the sheyue room.He was born with a handsome character, outstanding demeanor, full of gentleness, without the fat brain of a playboy, and after spending so many years together day and night, how could Sheyue not be moved by him, born with love?It's just that in the room at the beginning there was Xiren who was prudent at the front, and Qingwen was smart at the back, and she was eyeing others.Now Baoyu is the only old lady around her, and Yinger is Baochai's dowry maid again, so she is willing to serve Baoyu.

After coming and going again and again, Baochai had to open her face for Sheyue, and put it in the room, secretly hating herself for going to attack people, but keeping Sheyue.Sheyue was able to avoid Xiren and Qingwen's sharp edge back then, and if she stayed until the end, she might not have the desire to fight between the snipe and the clam for the fisherman's gain.

The lintel of Jia's house has collapsed, but Baoyu is as elegant as before.

Ying'er couldn't help complaining: "Grandma, you should take care of the second master. Although the second master is kind-hearted, like a child, he doesn't like fame and wealth, and his talent hasn't wasted half of it, but he has to live through life, right? Now we The family is like this, and he still has to use the best Hui ink to grind it with spring water in the Duan inkstone before he is willing to use it. The brush must be a lake brush, and the paper must be rice paper. The incense used is enough for half a month of our expenses, not to mention good tea, food, wine, clothes, and shoes and socks. How many years can the ladder left by the old lady last for Yi Erye’s life? The harvest is simply not enough for the second master's expenses."

Baochai sighed, full of desolation and sadness, and said: "Why don't I know the reason? You know, I don't know how many times I have persuaded him, but he still can't change the temperament of the young master of the government. I was thinking of our family. Even though he was defeated, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, he does not need to plow and do business. As long as he is good at studying and finding a way out in the future, he will not just sit and eat. Did you see his reaction? You never gave me any face."

She went on to say: "These years, I also know that Baoyu doesn't like the character of officialdom, our family has no hope in this, and I don't ask him to earn me any phoenix crown and Xiapei, husband and wife honor, I just want him After studying for a few years, I will open a private school in the future to teach students to start reading. What's wrong? He thinks that the people who are officials and butchers are lu beetles, national thieves and ghosts, and those children are not right? They are all innocent and simple , He is really talented, but he is not willing to do it, I think he can't bear the hardship."

Just as she was talking, a servant girl suddenly ran over and said, "Second Mistress, Second Mistress, Miss Shi is here."

Baochai frowned and said, "Why are you here again?"

The relationship with Xiangyun has been exhausted by Xiangyun's actions again and again, not to mention that Baoyu is his lifelong support. Whenever Xiangyun comes back, he will cry to Baoyu about the injustice he received at the historian, which makes Baoyu furious.Of course, because of Baoyu's temperament, no matter how angry she is, she will not go to historians to argue for Xiangyun, so Baochai feels relieved.

The visitor said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to leave now."

Baochai and Ying'er were taken aback, feeling that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? The Elder Master sent her back, but Baoyu didn't listen to the Elder Master's decision, so it's okay to take her back?"

The visitor said: "No, Miss Shi came here by herself. She cried and cried, as if she had suffered great grievances, and even brought boxes and cages here. Miss Shi blocked the door like this, how could she not open the door? If so Turning it away made people laugh at our family. But Qiaobao Erye met Elder Sister Sheyue playing in front of him. Without saying a word, he accepted him and placed him in the courtyard next to us where no one lives. Eldest lord I don’t know yet, someone has already reported to various places.”

Baochai was very angry, and took Ying'er to Kuayuan, but saw that it was in a hurry, several women were cleaning up, and Baoyu pulled Xiangyun to stand under the flower tree and talked. Xiangyun's face was full of tears, and Baoyu's face was distressed.

Baochai tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, her face was soft, and she walked over and said, "Sister Yun, what's wrong? You are crying so hard? But you have been wronged? Do you still miss the old lady? Don't worry, I will ask the elders for a while. The master came forward and asked the two masters of the Shi family to make decisions for the younger sister when she was brought back."

Without saying a word, Baoyu said angrily: "What are you doing when you go back? Sister Yun will live in our house from now on! I said that the two masters and two wives of the historian family are not bad people, but who knows that they are so ruthless!"

Baochai was taken aback, and asked the servant who came with Xiangyun.

It turned out that Shi Nai and Shi Ding had spent a lot of money and effort on reinstating old officials in the imperial court, intending to find a job vacancy and manage to move to Beijing.Although they were convicted back then, they were not sentenced to prison, but were only fined money. Now that things have passed, and the court has another report from the residence, it is natural that they have moved their minds and don't want to continue to waste time in Jinling, so this happened.Although they are not young, they are still far away from becoming officials. Moreover, they all want to find a good future for their children and grandchildren.

Shi Nai and his wife were the most thoughtful. Their family was already like this. When Xiangxue married into Zhen's family because of a mistake, although Zhen Baoyu treated her well, life with the old lady was not easy. Official, the Zhen family was afraid, and hoped that they would drag Zhen Baoyu's future, so they would naturally treat Xiangxue kindly.

Because Xiangyun's actions really hurt their hearts, and Xiangyun was not included in the trip to Beijing this time, Xiangyun was annoyed and came to Baoyu.

Baochai lowered her eyes and smiled coldly in her heart, if she were, she would not bring Xiangyun to Beijing.

Xiang Yun seems to have a magnanimous mind and a generous personality, but in fact he is not. He is just using his outspokenness as an excuse to ridicule others as a fact.If the irony of her personality annoys others, it is their fault, not her fault.Who made her speak out?Comparing with her means that others are mean and mean.

Xiangyun has such a good marriage, she doesn't cherish it herself, hangs out with Baoyu everywhere, and doesn't take the marriage to heart, doesn't it mean that she doesn't know the difference between men and women?Because the mothers of the two families had agreed a long time ago, but they had not yet engaged in marriage, Fang often played with Baoyu.Wei Ruolan was kind to her at first, and she was envious of it!If she is not engaged, or if she has no support in her family, she can't help herself in Jia's house.It happened that she was already engaged and had a younger sister from her uncle and aunt's family.Now that you are engaged, you should avoid it, so as not to ruin your innocence; if you have a younger sister, you should pay attention to your reputation, and don't implicate others.

Baochai gradually became discouraged because of Baoyu's failure to live up to expectations, and she didn't bother to care about them anymore, just like Xiangyun and Xiren Muskyue, and it didn't hinder her in the slightest.If there are any scandals, they are all done by themselves and have nothing to do with themselves.

Although Jia Amnesty was very disappointed with Baoyu, he also knew that Baoyu's nostalgia for the past was several times stronger than those ungrateful people. Just be an incompetent child!Their identities will not cause others to specifically target them.

Baochai didn't care, and Jia Amnesty didn't ask, so Xiangyun stayed in Jia's house.

In any case, Baoyu has already married a wife, and Xiangyun has also made an engagement, although the Wei family has not mentioned the matter of welcoming the bride for a long time.After all, they are the children of the noble family, daughters of the Hou family, no matter how mischievous they are, they will not do things that will shame each other.

Baochai guarded her dowry and took control of the ladder that Jia's mother handed over to her before she died, living a quiet life, and recuperating her body carefully, striving to conceive and have children.Her husband is no longer useful, and she can only rely on her son when she gets old. She naturally wants to have a son, so she doesn't have to care about Baoyu anymore.

They used to observe filial piety, but now they are filial piety. Not long after, Baochai got his wish and wept with joy.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an accident happened suddenly.

She had a hot poison brought from the womb. She did not know how many medicines she had taken, and how many doctors she had invited, but she was never cured. Until that day, she met a monk with a scarlet head and gave her a sheet of Haifanger and a pack of herbal medicines. Yinzi, a medicine with a strange smell and smell, took a lot of trouble to prepare a pair of Lengxiang pills, but it is good to take it when you are sick.It's just that when their family fell down, there were not many Lengxiang pills left. Although there is a prescription, there is no medicine to guide, and there is not so much effort and money to prepare the medicine.

Baochai heard from Mrs. Wen that the appearance of her pregnancy was not good, and she was afraid that she would have a difficult delivery. Even if she invited a doctor, she would not be able to tell. I don't know how much I thought about it.However, being a mother is strong. Baochai entrusted Xue Biao to sell all the dowry ladders. The silver was divided into two parts, and all of them were attached to the letter. mother and daughter.

Baochai knew that Baoyu was incompetent, so she only asked Mrs. Dou and Jia Min, for the sake of the descendants of the Jia family, not to let their child go astray, and let him grow up safely. Don't be like Baoyu who can't even support himself .At this time, apart from these two old ladies, mother-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she didn't know who else she could trust.In old age, people will always be soft-hearted, not to mention Mrs. Dou is the wife of the Jia family, and Jia Min is the old aunt of the direct relatives. With their care, my children will grow up safely.

Now that things have happened, she no longer seeks any glory and wealth, but only wishes for the safety of her own children.

His mother is old, although Xue Pan has reformed himself, but he has no ability, and with such status, now it is all taken care of by Xue Bian, how can he take care of his own children?Moreover, they are not from the Jia family, so they may not be justified.

Xue Biao is kind, but he is his cousin in the next room.

Baoqin married the Jin family, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, and she was not as cautious as usual, so how could I bother her again?

Sure enough, on a snowy night, Baochai cried for a day and a night, but couldn't make it through. She struggled to look at her infant son, as if she wanted to engrave it in her heart, and within a moment, she closed her eyes and passed away.

Baoyu was usually very impatient with Baochai, but now that the beauty had passed away, she burst into tears in grief.

Jia Amnesty was getting old, and his heart was very soft. Seeing the newborn child with beautiful features, who was also the director of Baoyu and Baochai, he didn't feel like it. He wanted to be an arm for his little grandson in the future, and he knew that Baoyu was still a child. , so he raised him by his side and named him Jia Xuan, reminding him of his mother's kindness, and ordered a few nannies to take care of him.

On the contrary, Ying'er thought of Baochai's love for her, and after marrying a servant in the house, she stayed by Jia Xuan's side to serve her.

When Jia Xuan was five years old, Jia Amnesty died of illness.

Mrs. Dou, who returned home with Jia Lian's family, took Jia Xuan to support her. Even if Jia She was still there, she was not at ease. Teaching children the right way?

Three years later, Jia Lian was reinstated and took Jia Xuan away.

At this time, Jia Lan had already left his nationality, and his official position had reached the seventh rank, so he took Li Wan to his place of office.

Jia Huan did not fall behind, and bought a big house and many servants with money, and took Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou to enjoy the blessing.Aunt Zhou didn't have a son, and she didn't dare to show her liking for Jia Huan when she was in Rongguo Mansion, and she didn't dare to mention Aunt Zhao, but she has been very attentive to Jia Huan these years.She was originally a concubine of the Jia family's eldest maid, unlike Aunt Zhao who was born as a rough envoy. She treated Jia Huan with more care than Aunt Zhao did.

But without Baochai's control, Baoyu became more and more willful, and at the same time, she was gradually stretched.Jia Amnesty said a long time ago that every family has a sacrifice land to collect rent, and they live their own lives. Baoyu knows nothing about it. Everyone in the family has a place to live and has moved away. Naturally, Baoyu is not doing well.

Xiangyun was very distressed, and took out a lot of dowries prepared by historians for her back then, and provided them with Baoyu.

Because Xiangyun had a marriage contract, they didn't dare to cross the line. Although they didn't have the name of husband and wife, the relationship between men and women, after a long time, they became confidants, and they often read books and recited poems together for fun.

However, after all, it is no match for the passage of time and the increasingly embarrassing life.

Getting up early that day, Xiangyun folded the red plums and wanted to share the rewards with Baoyu. Suddenly, Sheyue came out in a panic and cried, "Miss Yun, the second master is gone!"

Xiang Yun was surprised and said: "It's alright, why did it disappear? In our deep house, isn't there a servant following us when we go out? Doesn't the lady who guards the door know? Ask someone to ask."

After asking, I found out that Bao Yuyin was going out at the beginning of the day, and no one was allowed to follow him.

Sheyue said with tears: "Yesterday, the second master babbled about the end of the world. Could it be that the words of the year became a prophecy?" Sheyue once heard Baoyu tell Xiren that he would become a monk.

There is no owner in the mansion, Xiangyun is busy ordering people to inquire.

Soon, the servants said that when they got up early, someone in the market saw Baoyu drifting away with a monk with a lame head and a crippled Taoist.Because Baoyu's reputation is known all over the world, he looks good, and there is a piece of colorful jade hanging around his neck, so the man remembered it in his heart after seeing it, and said that many people saw it.

Ordained?Follow the monks and priests?

When Shi Xiangyun got the news, the red plums in his hand fell to the ground, like spots of blood, which were especially bright against the white snow.
