You're Crossing the Red Mansions

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather gradually heats up.You Xiaoxiao planned to buy some ice equipment for the academy, Jia Jing said: "Studying is the same as practicing martial arts. They practice in summer and in winter. They come to study and not to enjoy the blessings. It's unnecessary." You Xiaoxiao listened He laughed and said: "It's all right for them little people to care about it, but we have to take care of the master who follows Mr. Xiao and the aunt, so let the boy put some ice basins on the east and west sides of the podium." Jia Jing saw that she was filial, It's hard to refute, so I nodded in agreement.Jia Zhen said again: "Rong'er sent a letter, saying that he will go to the township examination this autumn. He wants to go further by getting a qualification for judging people." Practical and willing to practice hard.After hearing this, Jia Jing knew that his grandson was promising a lot, so he was very happy and said: "This is better!" Then he said with a smile: "We have a lot of happy events this year, Brother Cong and a few are just going to try Tongzi this year, I'll see Almost everyone can enter." Everyone was talking and laughing, when it was reported outside that the second master of the West Mansion had brought Baoyu.

Jia Jing and Jia Zhen looked at each other, and You Xiaoxiao quickly avoided going out.Sure enough, Jia Zheng was talking about sending Baoyu to the Dajian Academy. Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Bao wants to come to study, of course it's good, but the second master also knows that our academy now has admission exams, and there are also a few exchanges now. If you send your children here, they will take the exam on the [-]th day of June. At that time, Brother Bao will also come along with you." Jia Zheng had a thin face, and when he heard that the East Mansion had this regulation, he hurriedly said: "Since In this way, I will send him over again." Seeing that he was not too entangled, Jia Jing smiled and said, "I see that Baoyu has aura and is naturally stable." After sending the two of them out, Jia Jing said, "They all said Baoyu is not good at studying, and looking at the appearance of the second child, I feel a little sure." Jia Zhen laughed and said, "Baoyu has been raised by the old lady since she was a child. The second master is usually busy with foreign affairs, and the old lady often stops him inside. He's afraid he doesn't know anything." Jia Jing heard this, frowned and said: "It's not good, if it's useless, it will be troublesome for us to refuse to go back." Jia Zhen thought for a while and said: "Master, let's take a look first. Let’s talk about the article.”

On the tenth day of June, the weather was hot and scorching, Baoyu was forced by Jia Zheng to come early, she was still dressed in beautiful clothes, and she looked outstanding among the group of people outside.Li Gui brought Mingyan and waited beside him.Everyone was waiting impatiently outside under the shade of a tree, but they saw Jia Huan coming alone.Baoyu had sharp eyes, and when he saw it, he called him over and said, "Why are you here?" Jia Huan originally wanted to avoid him, but seeing that he was caught, he had to say, "I heard that the academy exam, I want to try it too. Baoyu didn't think too much, just nodded and said, "You have to be careful, this matter is not easy to deal with." Jia Huan's heart moved, and he asked, "What does the second brother mean?" Baoyu sighed: " The master told me that when you enter the academy, you want to live in the East Mansion, eat and live with the people in it..." As I said this, I felt emotional, most of the people who study today are stupid and ignorant , how can there be someone as knowledgeable as Jing Qing?Jia Huan was very happy when he heard this, thinking that if he could pass the exam in one fell swoop, he would not have to go back to the West Mansion in the future. No matter how long Mrs. Wang stretched her hands, she would not be able to ask herself to go back and copy Buddhist scriptures.Baoyu wanted to say more, but a man in charge came out of the academy and said a word of silence. Many princes and young masters quickly fell silent, and followed in order to the courtyard.

At noon, which was the hottest time of the day, Baoyu came out, half wet, and Li Gui and others had already come up to greet him, fanning fans, handing water to others, and the smoke had already made people put their sedan chairs away. Carrying it over, Baoyu wiped his sweat and sat on it.When Jia Huan came out and saw it, he just pursed his lips and walked to the West Mansion by himself.Because this time they are all the children of family acquaintances, the depth of knowledge is not the primary condition for consideration, Jia Jing asked to gather up the papers and bring them into the room, and discuss with Jia Zhen, which people are obviously to be attached to, no matter what the article is, they will be typed. If they say they are unqualified, there are a few other companies that have chosen to be malleable to stay.Waiting for those who were assigned outside to come to their own clan, and looked at the papers of Baoyu and Jia Huan, Jia Jing laughed: "This Baoyu is actually a bit crooked, but the article is not high-minded, and it is difficult to become a great tool." After reading Jia Huan's article again, he said with a smile, "He's a promising man. Although he is a concubine, he is better than his elder brother." Jia Zhen said from the side, "It's all helpless. Just work hard at school." Jia Jing nodded, and then said: "Go to the West Mansion once, and say that Baoyu and Brother Huan are all here to study." Jia Zhen knew in her heart that Lao Tzu took it first. After leaving Jiahuan, he didn't want to make any extra troubles, so he brought Baoyu in. Anyway, if one more or one less, it would not delay anything, so he quickly agreed.

When Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang heard that Baoyu had passed the exam, they couldn't help being overjoyed.Li Gui, Mingyan and others all accompanied him for a month.Because Jia Zheng asked Baoyu to live in the East Mansion, Baoyu saw Jia Mu happy and begged, "I'll get up early every day and come back at night." Don't be afraid, let me tell you, the academy is a place to study, where can I live there? How can I live without someone to wait for me?" Baoyu was very happy when she got Jia's mother's words.In the first few days, he went to the academy very diligently, but then he pointed out that he had a headache and brain fever, and begged Mrs. Jia Muwang not to go.Jia Jing and the others didn't take it seriously, studying and studying in Dajian Academy relied on their own skills, and if they didn't want to, naturally they wouldn't force it.When Jia Zheng heard that Baoyu was so unsatisfactory, he wanted to teach him a lesson, but Mrs. Wang cried and said, "I only have this one son left now. Didn't Pearl just collapse from studying? The master should think about me more." When Jia Zheng heard about it, he also thought about the matter of the eldest son. Besides, Mrs. Jia's mother and wife stopped him, and Baoyu was still young, so it was not easy to care about it.Since then, Baoyu has been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

But Jia Huan's going to the academy to study also went a long way, and You Xiaoxiao directly arranged to live in the East Mansion, with all the stationery and other daily necessities, so Aunt Zhao didn't need to pay a penny.Governor Jia Huan knew that the opportunity to study was hard-won, so he worked harder.But Jia Zheng didn't care about trivial matters, and he didn't ask how the concubine passed the exam. He heard that he could go to school, so he rewarded him with some stationery and encouraged him a few times.Although Jia's mother has never had this grandson in her eyes, she only praises him a few times when she sees a promising future, and it's fine to give him some playthings.Only Mrs. Wang's eyes were burning, and she asked Caixia and Yuchuan'er to inquire about the details, and asked who spoke in the East Mansion - she knew that Aunt Zhao was not capable and decent.Caixia's heart is towards Jia Huan, so naturally she refuses to tell the truth. Yu Chuan'er has been estranged from Mrs. Wang for a long time because of her sister Jin Chuan'er, if it wasn't for the fact that she had a bipartisan diet, she would have given up a long time ago.So the two just pretended to be busy outside, but they didn't say anything about it after all.Mrs. Wang regretted offending Sister Feng at this time, she is really capable.Although there is Tanchun now, it's just for saving face, and Jia Huan is her mother's brother after all, so it's not easy to force her to do anything.Later, I just tried to deduct Aunt Zhao's monthly money to express her anger, but Aunt Zhao saw her son's success, so she stopped haggling over every penny, and the second room became quiet.The matter was finally settled.

Since Sister Feng broke up with Mrs. Wang, not only has she become intimate with Dafang, but she also thought about how indifferent she was to Aunt Xue in the past. In the future, she will start her own family and start a business, but her relatives will get closer and closer. Besides, Xue Pan Married You's sister, it's time to make out.This day is to go to Xue's mansion, Ping'er said: "Grandma is going right now, seeing Miss Bao's appearance, she refuses to move back. She must also despise the second wife for being unkind." Hearing this, he sneered and said, "I knew from the incident of Xiren that the Xue family would not suffer from this dumbness. Later, Jin Chuan'er threw himself into the well, that is, the old lady and the second wife took Baoyu as a sweet pastry." Just look at it. Baochai was going to enter the palace in the first place, if he hadn't been dragged down by Xue Dafool, he would still have looked up to Baoyu." Ping'er nodded as he opened the box and said, "Grandma said that Baoyu is really worthless. It was so easy to get into the academy, but the girl in his yard said that she didn't go there often, and just hang out with Miss Yun, who makes rouge, picks flowers and weeds every day, it's not as good as Brother Huan." After hearing this, Sister Feng pondered After a while, he said: "Speaking of Brother Huan, he is actually very promising. Usually, there is nothing you can do. You send someone to go to Aunt Zhao's place quietly at night, and send eight liang of silver there. Be careful, don't let the people from the second wife's place." You see, don't mention me in the past, just say that the second master Lian bought snacks for Brother Huan's school." Ping'er understood, and whispered: "This thing is useful, the first thing that the third girl takes care of the house is to take care of the family. Baoyu and Brother Huan gave me the snack money for school, although it is important to please my wife, but it is too much." Sister Feng sighed: "The girls in our family are all shrewd, look at the second girl Is it the second wood? The world is blind, but she knows it very well. The third girl is smart, but she doesn't leave any room for things. Alas, it's no wonder that she is actually a bit more poisonous than the second wife."

At this time, Xue's residence was full of excitement. It turned out that Xue Pan was buying goods outside to return to Beijing a while ago, but because he was in a hurry, he took a remote path and ran into a group of robbers.Xue Pan was very grateful immediately, and he was about to form brothers with different surnames. In the past, he didn't mention it during the festival, and he dragged him back to Xue's mansion, called Aunt Xue, etc., and then tried to pay for him to repair the house and buy land.Liu Xianglian naturally refused, but Xue Pan was enthusiastic, so he had to be asked to live in the mansion.Liu Xianglian couldn't help it, and she was also wandering, so she said she was only staying for a few days.So there was another Liu Erye in Xue's mansion, and it became more lively.And the second sister Nayou heard that Xianggong had married Liu Xianglian as a brother, and immediately remembered the third sister's concern, and asked Xue Pan to inquire whether Liu Xianglian was married or not.

You Xiaoxiao was preparing Jia Jing's September birthday banquet with Jia Zhen at home, and after hearing what Mrs. Xue had said, she assumed that Second Sister You had something to do, so she hurried to leave.Jia Zhen said: "It can be a big deal, please wait a little longer." You Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Second sister is almost seven months old, and I also remember it in my heart." Then he sent someone to Hefengyuan to call Xichun over, and said to Jia Zhen : "I said that my sister is not young, so I asked her to help out together." Jia Zhen nodded and said, "I'm here, so don't worry." He was greeted outside, and he told Liu Xianglian about Liu Xianglian before he sat down in the inner room.Seeing that she was fine, You Xiaoxiao first felt relieved, and then saw the mention of Liu Xianglian, knowing in her heart that this day must come, so she said: "It's a good thing, but I can't talk about it in such a hurry, since I never The women's family chases the men's family." Second Sister You also felt troubled when she heard this.You Xiaoxiao thought for a long time, and said: "Forget it, since Mr. Liu is living in the mansion for a few days, you can call the third sister over, just say that you are about to give birth and you need your mother's family to accompany you, and your mother-in-law will stay with you for a few more days." I can't find a reason." The second sister You obeyed You Xiaoxiao's advice, and quickly called her close wife to You's house to call the third sister over.You Xiaoxiao stopped her and said: "Let the girl next to me run away, so that your old lady can stay at home with peace of mind." Second Sister You knew that the big girl next to her was always safe, so she must have given a few more instructions when she went. I quickly responded.
