The Lin family of the Red Chamber has a son

Baoyu's beating was much more severe than the previous beating.From the back of the neck to the calf, there are welt marks.Especially the second half is more serious.

Trembling, Jia's mother led the people and snatched Baoyu back from Jia Zheng's hands.Regardless of being angry with Jia Zheng, he ordered Baoyu to be sent back to Yihong Courtyard as soon as possible.

Seeing his mother's silver hair and tears still on her face, Jia Zheng couldn't help but feel guilty.He knelt on the ground and cried, "Mother, please take a rest. In hot weather, if mother gets angry because of that unsatisfactory thing, but there is something wrong with her, isn't it the son's fault?"

Jia's mother spat on the ground with a "bah", pointed at Jia Zheng and said angrily, "You are clearly angry at me! Where does my anger come from? Well, you brought Baoyu here and beat him like this." If there is something good or bad, wouldn’t it kill me? You also said that if there is something wrong with me, it is your fault, so it’s possible that there is no fault now!"

The party scolded the party and shed tears. Mrs. Wang was choked up from crying seeing her son's bloody face, how could she persuade him?Only Mrs. Xing said a few words of persuasion in a non-salty and neutral way, and seeing that Jia's mother ignored it, she stopped talking.

Jia Zheng kowtowed and kowtowed in tears, complaining, "Mother has wronged her son! No matter what the son is, he doesn't dare to offend his mother on purpose. It's really Baoyu's evil, misbehaving, and wretched heart." , my son did it for his own good..."

Jia's mother knew that if she hadn't been so angry, she would not have beaten Baoyu to this extent according to Jia Zheng's temperament of saving face.But, what is it for?

Seeing the room full of people, Jia Mu closed her eyes and said weakly, "Forget it, now you beat and scold, Baoyu has become like this, are you satisfied?"

Jia Zheng glanced at Baoyu involuntarily. At this time, four women had already brought a spring chair over and moved Baoyu up from the stool.Baoyu lay there motionless, her face as white as paper, her eyes closed tightly, and Mrs. Wang held her son's hand and cried loudly.

Jia Zheng sighed, regretting that he had been beaten hard.I only have this one son-in-law, and I beat him because I hate iron for being weak.But if it is broken, even the iron will be gone.

Then I heard Jia's mother say, "What are you still doing here? Why don't you quickly prepare a post and ask someone to invite the imperial doctor?"

Jia Zheng had no choice but to get up and go out and called the servant to invite the doctor.He also had some ideas in his mind, now that Baoyu's love affair is widely known, he has no face to go to the imperial hospital to invite someone.Just ask someone in the city to check the pulse and see a doctor properly.

Jia Mu didn't care much here, and a group of people surrounded Baoyu and sent Baoyu back.Xiren and others had received the letter, and they were waiting in the Yihong Courtyard, all stretching their necks on tiptoes, with anxious faces.

It was so easy to see that everyone had sent Baoyu back, and seeing his condition, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and went to serve him.

Everyone rushed to put Baoyu on the bed, and Mrs. Wang didn't care about anything. She was about to untie Baoyu's trousers to see, but Jia Mu stopped her.He turned his head and said, "Go back first, and don't come here to disturb Baoyu in the past two days."

Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, and Sanchun sisters who came over all agreed to go out without mentioning it.The gauze trousers on Baoyu's body were already glued to flesh and blood, and Baoyu shivered in pain at the slightest movement.Xiren hurriedly brought warm water over, and said with red eyes: "Madam, let the slaves come."

Holding the veil and dipping it in water, it soaked Baoyu's trousers little by little before it was taken off.Mrs. Jia Muwang waited to see, and couldn't help crying again.

While making noise, the doctor came outside.Mrs. Wang wanted to stay and watch, but she didn't have that rule, so she had to hide behind the screen with a few maids aggrieved.Jia's mother sat still here, staring at the doctor who diagnosed Baoyu's pulse, cleaned the wound, and applied herbal medicine.

He said with a cold face: "How about my grandson? Is there a serious problem?"

The doctor is not young, and I don't know if it's because of his straightforward temper, or because he can't see what's going on, he just said: "No problem, no problem. Although I am not talented, I have seen a few people who were severely beaten. In my area The herbal medicines that come are all good red wound medicines, although the wounds are a little burning, they are the best for dispelling blood stasis and detoxifying, which is good for sealing the wound."

When Jia Mu heard this, she almost fell backward with anger, and looked at Baoyu. Although she was in a coma, she really frowned, obviously in severe pain.

The old doctor was still rambling on, and Jia Mu patiently asked someone to send it out for a prescription, and Mrs. Wang waited until then to come out.Jia's mother called Mrs. Wang here, and then told the attacker: "Be good and take care of Baoyu. If you wake up, call me right away."

Xiren and so on agreed, and then Jiamu went back to the upper room holding Yuanyang's hand.Thinking about it left and right, I really don't know why Baoyu suffered such a harsh meal again.Immediately, he ordered someone to pass on the news of Lin Zhixiao's family coming in, and ordered: "Ask Lin Zhixiao to go outside to find out why your second master taught Baoyu so much!"

Lin Zhixiao's family hadn't found anything yet. When everyone came to Jia Mu's place to say hello the next morning, Jia Amnesty went back to Jia Mu and said, "My son heard that today is the day for my niece to celebrate a grand ceremony."

After the big ceremony, they will be married within a hundred days.Mother Jia couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "But it's true?"

Jia She twirled his beard and smiled, "Of course it's true. This is a great event. How dare you coax the old lady."

Thinking of her daughter who died young, and Daiyu, who has become more and more distant from her in recent years, Mother Jia closed her eyes for a long time and remained silent.

Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Mu's face, and said cautiously: "This is really a good thing. My niece came to our house back then, she was still a little girl. Now, she is going to get married. I will have a child again, Mrs. Mrs. Ann is waiting to be the great-grandmother of the young master!"

Just laugh when you finish speaking.

When Jia Mu thought of Daiyu's wife, she couldn't help but smile a little.

Mrs. Wang said: "It's a pity that Lian'er and his wife are not in the capital. Otherwise, the nephew's daughter is short of manpower at this time. It's good if they can help."

Jia Amnesty picked up the teacup, and said in a strange way: "Second Wife doesn't know. I heard that the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager loved their niece and ordered the House of Internal Affairs to take care of the matter. No matter how good Lianer and his wife are, they are not as good as the House of Internal Affairs."

Whenever Mrs. Wang speaks, Jia She or Mrs. Xing must speak.The husband and wife in this big house are now stripping off face, if they can add some troubles to Mrs. Wang, they will add some.But he is still the head of the house, Mrs. Wang is in the way of the rules, at least she can't refute it on the surface.It was the same at this time, with mixed anger and hatred in his heart, but his face was still like wood, he only drooped his eyelids and said: "It's so good."

Mrs. Xing had already thought of something to stab her, but she didn't want to say anything when she saw that her flag had died down.Mother Jia ignored it, but she let out a long sigh in her heart—the Lin family has really risen in Beijing today!

Not to mention what is going on here in Jia's mansion, but the Lin family is in a hurry now.

Yunning wanted to make a face for Daiyu, except for a few things that must be included in the betrothal gift, all kinds of silks, satins and brocades are all fashionable, and there are 120 pieces in total; there are 120 sets of four seasons clothes-but I have sent people to check the size with Daiyu before, and it will not be unsuitable; there are 120 sets of jewelry heads of various colors, red gold, jewel-encrusted, emerald, bracelets, rings, hairpins, and hairpins, almost shaking It took people's eyes.

According to the rules in Beijing, these betrothal gifts and make-ups must be placed in the room to dry.After a simple ceremony at this time, the Yunlin family set a good date for July 28 according to the selection of Qin Tianjian.

After the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Yun family left, Lin Yan ordered people to carry the betrothal gifts to Daiyu's yard for her to see.

Mrs. Zhao is taking her daughter to accompany Daiyu there.After seeing the list of betrothal gifts, she couldn't help but click her tongue - such a heavy betrothal gift, the Lin family's dowry must not be light, otherwise, there might be some gossip.

Daiyu was still embarrassed to look at it, Zhao Ying pushed her out, pointed at the things in the yard and smiled, "Look, brother-in-law is afraid that you will be wronged!"

While talking, Lin Yan also came in, and Zhao Ying didn't evade because she was familiar with her.Lin Yan smiled and said, "Master, I've worked hard again today."

For a while, he took Daiyu's dowry list and showed it to Mrs. Zhao, Lin Yan said: "I only prepared these before, I don't know what else is missing. Mistress, please help me, don't miss anything. in a hurry."

Several people entered the room, and Daiyu went to the inner room to talk with Zhao Ying because she was a little shy.Mrs. Zhao looked at them one by one, and there were several big red wedding papers, neatly written in small script.After reading line by line, it took a full two cups of tea. Mrs. Zhao just finished reading, nodded and said: "It's very complete. You also have a heart. It's rare for a man to understand this."

Lin Yan smiled and said, "It was all prepared by the housekeeper and the others."

After taking a sip of tea, Lin Yan said again, "Most of these have already been obtained, there are still a few big pieces of furniture that need to be finished, and now I have to ask someone to urge them. If there is anything else you want to buy, just say it , I want people to hurry up and do it.”

"It's very rich." Mrs. Zhao's worries became more serious, "I just saw the dowry over there, it is very expensive. Now this dowry is like this, it is enough! When the time comes, these are all If you want to put it out for others to see, if it is too heavy, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be jealous. If you have some other thoughts because of this, it is not good. If you have the heart, you might as well give your sister some private houses at the bottom of the box. That's enough."

Lin Yan nodded, "Mistress is worried." If others don't say it, is there anyone in Rongguo Mansion who is not jealous?

After Mrs. Zhao's mother and daughter left, Lin Yan went back to his study and closed his eyes to calculate which guests the Lin family should invite and how many banquets they would prepare for the big wedding.

The outer door was knocked lightly twice, Lin Yan opened his eyes and said, "Come in."

The person who came was Lin Ruo.

Lin Yan asked with a smile, "Ruo'er, what's the matter?"

Lin Ruo came in with her head down, leaving a black bun facing Lin Yan.

Lin Yan was very surprised, this child was joking and joking in the past, never had such a time.Did you do something wrong?

Lin Ruo stood in front of Lin Yan, with the toe of his right foot rubbing against the ground, and said eagerly, "Second Uncle..."

"Huh? If you have something to say, just say it. Why do you make such a gesture?"

Lin Ruo raised his head, secretly looked at Lin Yan with big eyes, and said in a low voice, "I, I want to study in Xishan Academy."

Lin Yan was taken aback, "Why? But what did someone say?"

"No!" Lin Ruo hurriedly said, her voice was a little louder, "I, I also want to be like my second uncle, to take over the family and honor my ancestors!"

Lin Yan smiled, and said softly: "How old are you? Are you in a hurry to go there? Let me tell you, if you go there to study, you can't have a waiter around you. You are a girl who looks after you. Grown up, can you take it?"

"Yes!" Lin Ruo said loudly, "I just passed my tenth birthday last month! Didn't you also enter the academy when you were in your early tenth year? I, I want to be like my second uncle..."

Lin Yan looked at the child in front of him. He was just a baby when he brought him to Beijing that year.In addition to sleeping every day, it is eating.The poor child has never even met his biological parents, and he has grown up to ten years old just like him...

There was heat in his eyes, and his throat was a little choked.Lin Yan hurriedly lowered his eyes to cover up.

After a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "If you have the heart, I will go and talk about it for you. It's just the same, the academy needs to pass the examination before you can enter. Otherwise, no matter whether you are a high-ranking official's child or a poor student, you will not be able to enter." No. Do you have the confidence?"

Lin Ruo nodded heavily.

Lin Yan sighed, "Since this is the case, you have no choice but to be prepared. After your aunt's happy life is over, I will personally send you there."

Lin Ruo suddenly burst into tears, "My aunt is out of the pavilion, I, if I go, only my second uncle will be left..."

Lin Yan actually smiled, stretched out his hand to pat Lin Ruo's shoulder, and comforted him, "Don't lose the golden beans, I'm adopted, and you're the only one left in the family over there, and I'm still counting on you. The problem of crying needs to be corrected."

Lin Ruo wiped her eyes with her sleeves, and nodded emphatically.
