The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Jia's mother loves Baoyu, I'm afraid everyone in the capital knows it.How much the old lady of Rongguo Mansion loves this grandson who has been extraordinary since birth, just look at how much she is still raising her in her teens now.

Since Daiyu returned to Lin's house, Baoyu has also been lazy and lived outside the Bisha cabinet.Mrs. Wang originally wanted to tidy up a yard for him, and the place was all set.Who knows that Jia's mother insisted on refusing.

Jiamu's yard used to be five big rooms in a row, and there were two small courtyards from east to west.Then Jia Mu asked someone to tidy up the East courtyard and come out to live in Baoyu.There are verandas on both sides of the east small courtyard connecting the left and right. The west side is the main house of Jiamu, and the east side is the three huts behind Rongxi hall.In this way, he is getting closer to Mrs. Wang, so Mrs. Wang has no choice but to do so.

Jia Zheng is a dutiful son, and he goes to Jia's mother every morning and evening to make peace, and never falls behind.It's just that he has never been in Baoyu's house.Hearing what Lin Yan said today, although he couldn't help but comfort himself, what Lin Yan said must be true, no matter how much Baoyu disliked reading and loathed official career, he didn't have the guts to do something that discredited public morals.

Lazily watching Mrs. Wang get angry at Zhou Rui's family, she flicked her sleeves and left the Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng strolled towards Jia's mother's yard.

Jia Mu is an elderly person who is still asleep at this time, and the whole son goes to the room in silence.

Jia Zheng's heart moved, he raised his hand to stop the girl standing at the door, and walked along the veranda to Dongkua courtyard.

Although it is only a three-room courtyard,

The room is very spacious, and the furnishings inside are exquisite and gorgeous. When Jia Zheng entered the door and looked up, he saw a few girls in red and green sitting in the middle of the room, all sitting around a big round table, either sewing or whispering. joking.Seeing Jia Zheng coming in suddenly, they were all startled, and hurriedly stood up and lowered their heads.

Jia Zheng looked around, and immediately felt a little displeased—the furniture and furnishings were all good, but it was too luxurious for a child.Look at the Duobao Pavilion in the room, agate dishes and jade bowls, and a small pot of green jade plum blossom bonsai in the middle.There are also two stacks of books neatly stacked on the ebony scroll case in front of the window, and a few pens are scattered in the pen holder carved with white jade, and I don't know if they have been used.

There is also a six-panel black lacquer screen with cloud and bat patterns in the room, covering the bed inside.

When Jia Zheng walked around the screen to look at it, he saw a huge moon-hole-style carved Arhat bed against the wall, with brocade curtains hanging over it. There are a few small sachets hanging underneath, and the smell is light.It's just that no matter how you say it, it doesn't look like a place where a brother lives, but rather like a lady's boudoir.

Jia Zheng frowned and lifted the curtain, and Baoyu was still sleeping soundly inside.The apricot-red brocade quilt covering her body has long been kicked to one side, but Baoyu is wearing a bean-green tunic that is askew.

The three or four maids who followed Jia Zheng held their breaths and did not dare to make a sound.Seeing him staring at Baoyu like this, I couldn't help but feel anxious, and didn't dare to go over and call.

Coughing heavily, Jia Zheng's face became more and more gloomy, resentful that Baoyu was still asleep at this time, and didn't know when he would go to study.

In the end, a girl was so bold that she went to the bed and pushed Baoyu, calling in a low voice, "Baoyu, wake up quickly. The master is here."

The two words that Baoyu is most afraid of are not reading, but "Master".As long as he could remember, it seemed that Jia Zheng had never treated him well.Either I was angry that he didn't want to study, or I hated him for not knowing how to make friends with others. In short, there were many times when he was not good, but there were very few times when he saw a smiling face.

In the dimness, he heard someone say in his ear that the master is coming, and Baoyu woke up immediately.Before he could rub his eyes, he saw that Jia Zheng's face was gloomy, and he was standing in front of the bed and staring at him.

Baoyu was so frightened that his face turned pale immediately, and he rolled over from the bed in a hurry.

"Hmph!" Jia Zheng looked at Baoyu coldly, and scolded, "You are not too young now, but you are just like the ordinary people on the street, and you can't get enough sleep! Let me ask you, are you familiar with the book? I don’t have any free time in the past few days, but when I look at it, it seems that I haven’t touched a book at all.”

Baoyu hesitated for a while, then murmured, "I've been feeling a little uncomfortable these days..."

When Jia Zheng heard this, his nose was almost crooked. If someone else said this, he might believe it, but who is Baoyu?The old lady regards him as his lifeblood, but if someone has a headache, wouldn't the whole family know about it right away?

He sneered and said, "Okay, so you are not allowed to read because you are not well. If that is the case, you can return the new books. I only ask you about the ones you have read before."

As he spoke, he turned around and went to the book case, and took out a book from the stacked books. Because his back was facing Baoyu, he didn't see Baoyu's suddenly pale face.

Flipping it open, Jia Zheng only glanced at it twice, and his head exploded with a "coax"—looking at the book cover, it was clearly "The Doctrine of the Mean", but inside, it was the real "Hui Zhen Ji" !

Baoyu only saw Jia Zheng glaring at Zhang Xu, his eyes were red with anger, and he yelled in his heart that it was not good.He hurriedly winked at the girls in the room and sent someone to call Jiamu and Mrs. Wang for help.

Jia Zheng held the re-cored "The Doctrine of the Mean" tightly in his hand, and walked towards Baoyu step by step.

Sure enough, there really was that clever guy here, who scrambled away from the wall, turned around and ran outside—but ran in the wrong direction in a hurry, and went to Mrs. Wang's yard first.

Mrs. Wang was shocked when she heard this. She only heard the words "Master wants to beat Baoyu", and didn't care about anything else. She hurried over with a few maids and women.

Because it was in the inner courtyard, Jia Zheng didn't bring any servants with him, and he didn't have any handy things. He looked around and saw a fine pine inkstone on the desk, and he laughed angrily. , "Look, what you use here is more valuable than how many scholars! If you have knowledge of this inkstone, and you put it in the room, you will be ashamed to death! What are you keeping it for? No one can teach you This shameless idiot came to defile!"

While speaking, he grabbed the inkstone and threw it at Baoyu. Baoyu was so frightened that he couldn't even hide.Only a few screams were heard, and Baoyu felt a heat on his head, and something flowed down his cheeks.

Dazedly, he stretched out his hand to wipe it, but saw that his hand was bright red, and Jia Zheng had smashed his head.He was originally less courageous than others, but when he saw the red all of a sudden, he felt unbearable pain in his head, he shook his body and went limp.

Xiren Sheyue's maids exclaimed, and were about to go forward to support them, but Jia Zheng yelled, "Don't move!"

When Mrs. Wang rushed in, she saw that Baoyu's head was covered in blood and fell to the ground, and she rushed over with a scream: "Baoyu!"

Jia Zheng still felt angry and could not bear it. He kicked him when he caught up, but Mrs. Wang cried and hugged her leg, "Master! Even if the master is dissatisfied with Baoyu in his heart, it should not be so! He stared at the child's head. If the blood is broken, the master will fight again, isn't it because Baoyu must die before giving up?"

Jia Zheng red-eyed and scolded: "You are the ones who spoil him all day! It's fine if you don't have knowledge and skills, how dare you do so many shameless things! I would rather beat him to death than such a prodigal son who humiliates his family." !"

Mrs. Wang cried: "Where did the master say this? Even Brother Lin said it just now, and Baoyu didn't do that. Even if the master is angry, I don't dare to take care of my son. It's just like this." Didn't the dead hand kill Baoyu unjustly?"

Turning around, he saw Baoyu lying on the ground, his face was pale and his eyes were closed tightly, and he felt unbearable pain in his heart. The veil covered the wound on Baoyu's head, and he cried bitterly, "You evil son, why, why... ..."

The house was in chaos, and Jiamu's trembling voice was heard outside: "What's the matter? Ah? It can be seen that I think I'm always obsessed with my recitation, so I came here to shout and kill!"

Jia Zheng was startled and furious, and rushed out to greet him.Seeing him coming out, Jia's mother almost spat on his face and scolded angrily, "I don't see you discipline my son on weekdays, but you want to come to me to discipline your son! It can be seen that you have no eyes for me!"

As he said that, he ignored Jia Zheng and walked into the house holding Yuanyang and Hupo's hands.Jia Zheng was shocked, knowing that Baoyu must be frightened when he described that the old lady saw it at this time.It's too late to stop.

When Jia Mu entered the room, she saw Baoyu's appearance clearly, her eyes darkened, and she almost fell down.The two mandarin ducks were so panicked that they tried their best to help them back up, rubbed their hearts and calmed down, and called out to the old lady one after another.

Mrs. Wang clearly saw her coming in, but at this moment, all her love for Baoyu turned into resentment towards the old lady. If the old lady didn't insist on keeping Baoyu in front of her, why would Baoyu not like studying and annoy the master? dissatisfied?But if there is a mistake, the master will teach him a lesson!

So he held Baoyu and wept, but ignored him.

At this time, Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others in the courtyard at the back all got the letter, and rushed over with a girl in a hurry, and even Yingchun and others also came.

Looking at the situation in the room, Wang Xifeng gasped, and scolded the maids and old women: "Are they all dead? Hurry up and help Brother Bao up to bed! Feng'er, go back and call Er Ye for the post." Please doctor!"

Jia Zheng looked at the anxious faces of the old mother and wife earlier, and felt a little regretful in his heart. He didn't look at it and smashed Baoyu directly.However, at this moment, Li Wanfeng's two sisters-in-law and Yingchun's sisters, no matter what the reason, all rushed into Baoyu's room, and immediately remembered the book in Baoyu's room, and sat down slumped. on the chair.

Suddenly a few strong women came up and lifted Baoyu to the bed with all their hands and feet.Mrs. Jia Muwang didn't care about Jia Zheng, she just sat at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, crying.

Not long after, it was said that the imperial physician had been invited, and Li Wan took Yingchun and the others to avoid it.Jia Zheng didn't care about it either. Seeing that the imperial doctor had wrapped Baoyu's head for diagnosis and treatment, he prescribed a prescription and ordered Jia Lian to send it out.

When Jia Mu heard that Baoyu was fine, she was relieved.Turning around and seeing Jia Zheng, his eyes were burning, and he scolded, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

Jia Zheng closed his eyes, and for the first time in his life did not listen to Jia Mu's words.Tell everyone in the house to go out. Seeing that Wang Xifeng is still standing behind Jia Mu, he shouts: "The family of Lian'er also go out!"

Sister Feng was startled and went out in a panic.For a while, only Jia Zheng, Mrs. Jia's wife, was left in the room, and the two big maids, Mandarin Duck and Hu Po, who were serving by Jia Mu's side.

Jia Zheng got up and knelt down in front of Jia's mother, his eyes were red and he said: "The old lady only said that I taught Baoyu a lesson, but she didn't expect why I couldn't teach him a lesson?"

"Bah!" Jia Mu spat, "Why did you teach me a lesson? Let me ask you, did Baoyu commit the crime of treason or did he violate the law of the Heavenly Family? Are you going to kill him like this?"

Jia Zheng shook his head with tears in his eyes, pointed at Zhongyong who fell to the ground at some point, and said to Jia's mother, "Mother only sees what he is?"

Jia's mother is not a blind person who can't read a word. When Jia Zheng asked, she knew that there must be something wrong.

"My son just came over to take a look today, and saw that he hid such a thing in the house, and wrapped it with a book of sages... If he can't study and get the first glorious door, that's all. Anyway, the son can only support it." You're a waste. But he doesn't want to make progress, and he dares to read those banned books! No, he has some crooked thoughts! Son can't ignore it!"

Mother Jia was very surprised, "How did you say that?"

Mrs. Wang only thought that Jia Zheng came here because of Lin Yan just now, so she came to teach Baoyu again.She even thought that Baoyu was innocent, but she couldn't imagine that such a thing really happened?

He raised his eyes that were red and swollen from crying, and looked at Jia Zheng as well.

Jia Zhengchang sighed, got up and told about Lin Yan's visit.When Jia Mu heard this, she became dizzy for a while. She turned her head to look at Hu Po, who had already turned pale behind her, and asked through gritted teeth, "But it's true?"

Hupo fell to her knees, crying bitterly, "When the servants were about to leave the house earlier, Second Master Bao secretly stuffed it for me. I thought, Second Master and Miss Lin have always been good, and this is not a big deal, so, therefore, continue It's..."

Mrs. Wang rushed over and was slapped across the face. The amber she had just smoked fell to the ground, half of her face was swollen, and the corners of her mouth were oozing blood.

Yuanyang couldn't bear to see it, it was a matter of morality, and several masters were furious and didn't dare to persuade them, so they had to lower their heads and turn their faces away, not daring to look at Hu Po.

Mrs. Wang pointed at Amber and scolded: "You lowly whore! You only think about it, what do you only think about? Ah! It is clear that Baoyu and Miss Lin are brothers and sisters, but you have been instigated! If you hadn't instigated, Baoyu How dare you do this? Otherwise, if he doesn’t understand these things, what do you do when you have a mouth? Why don’t you know that you have returned to the master? Now Baoyu’s reputation is almost ruined in your hands! If there is a slight mistake, you Let's see who I can spare!"

Although Jia's mother was very angry and resentful, it was just that Amber was her girl after all, and Mrs. Wang's cursing like this sounded like she was referring to Sang Huai.

Seeing his mother's gloomy face, Jia Zheng also felt that Mrs. Wang had scolded her too much. Anyway, she was in front of the old lady, and the old lady should deal with it.Immediately, she winked at Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang couldn't see her with tears in her eyes. She cried to Jia's mother, "I thought that what the brother of the Lin family said was exaggerated, but now I see, old lady, we all call these people The servant is blindfolded! How can such a good treasure be taken away by others? Then Miss Lin, her elder brother came to the door for the sake of her sister. People explain? How can I be worthy of the underground aunt?"

"Where is Zijuan's little hoof?" Mother Jia asked in a deep voice.

Jia Zheng said quickly, "Lian'er asked someone to be locked up in the woodshed."

Jiamu ordered Yuanyang to go out and call someone.Wang Xifeng was waiting outside, and hurriedly followed the mandarin ducks in. Jia Mu pointed to Amber and said coldly: "This girl, and the one in the woodshed, have dirty hands and feet. We never want such a servant in our house, Feng. Girl, you go and explain it, find someone to come and sell it to me from afar!"

Sister Feng was startled, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she hurriedly called two women to come in, dragged and dragged Hu Po out who was still hugging Jia Mu's thigh and crying for mercy.

Mrs. Wang stood aside, wiping her tears, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.She raised her eyelids and looked at Mother Jia, "Old lady, Baoyu is grown up now. The daughter-in-law is watching coldly, I'm afraid there are still some restless girls in this house. Baoyu has always been the most caring and sympathetic girl. If there is someone with a bad heart It would be a disaster if Baoyu was harmed."

Jia Mu stared at her for a while, then sneered and said, "Since you have thought of it, you should go to rectify it, and why are you talking about these useless things?"

Mrs. Wang sat on the head of the bed and wiped the blood on Baoyu's face with a handkerchief, feeling very distressed.The left hand hidden in the sleeve was clenched again and again, and he said with a heartbeat: "Old lady, the daughter-in-law is really worried about Baoyu's appearance now. So I want to go back to the old lady, and move Baoyu to my room for a few days How about going to take care of it for a few days, the old lady?"

Mother Jia finally understood that Mrs. Wang was waiting for her here.He glanced at Jia Zheng with a sneer, and found that this filial son had lowered his eyelids and said nothing, and his expression changed again.

After staring at her son and daughter-in-law for a while, Jia's mother understood that the couple blamed herself in their hearts.This is also unavoidable, Hu Po Zicuckoo is considered to be the girl by her side, and she was trained by her side since she was a child, how dare she provoke Baoyu to act like this...

Mother Jia took a deep breath, and when she looked at Mrs. Wang again, her eyes were full of approval: "That's good. You actually found someone to carry Baoyu over there. Taking advantage of this time, it's good to straighten out the girls in his room. These The one who always waits on him is even more sloppy."

The corner of Mrs. Wang's mouth curled up, and she bowed in response.

Jia's mother was so angry that she almost fell back, with an anxious face, she got up and said, "Zheng'er, don't embarrass Baoyu too much. I have to go to the Lin family first, poor Yu'er, all your sisters This bit of blood is actually wronged."
