[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

Baoyu doesn't fully agree with Jia Wan's words. In his opinion, it's not a bad thing for Aunt Xue to take Xiangling in, let alone have any bad intentions.

Just looking at the girls in his room, there are not many things to do, no one beats or scolds, they live in a relaxed and comfortable way, and their food and clothing expenses are better than those of young ladies from small families outside. What a crying face, it can be seen that the life outside is not easy.

Xiangling is a lonely girl's family, if she is living outside, how can she live?

It was just about the money, but he couldn't refute it. His thoughts were the same as most people's: Xue Pan paid enough money to buy a girl, so she should belong to him naturally. As for whether the kidnapper is qualified to sell her? That girl, what does that girl think about herself... Who would care about this?

Thinking of the story Jia Wan told earlier, he couldn't help but wonder if he was the same as the scholar in the story, who always thought he was considerate, but never put himself in their shoes to consider their feelings?

Seeing that Baoyu's eyes suddenly turned straight and he lost his words, Daiyu knew that he was crazy again, so she ignored him and took Jia Wan out to look for Xichun and the others.

Daiyu has no real brothers, and now Lin Ruhai has accepted Jia Wan as his apprentice, and he takes Jia Wan with him even when he goes to the Yamen.

She often sighs to herself that she is not a man and cannot share her father's worries. Now that she has a "junior brother", she treats him like her own younger brother.

During this period of time, occasionally when Lin Ruhai was too busy, he would ask Daiyu to stare at Jia Wan's reading, so the two of them were just chatting, and Daiyu's words also carried a bit of comparison.

Daiyu is almost three years older than Jia Wan, and she is talented and intelligent. She finished reading four books at the age of six. The knowledge in her stomach is definitely not comparable to that of Jia Wan who started late and is half-hearted. Fortunately, Lin Ruhai teaches well. In addition, Jia Wan has a lot of strange things in his stomach, which can also scare people.

That's how it was, when he saw Xichun, Jia Wan also acted as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly pulled Xichun aside to talk, Daiyu let out a "puchi" laugh and entered Tanchun's room.

Jia Wannahan said: "Didn't you say before that sister Lin loves to cry the most? Why don't I look like that?"

She is clearly a beautiful girl who loves to talk and laugh, but her body is a little weak.

Xichun said with a smile: "Aunt Lin just passed away, and Sister Lin came all the way to seek relatives. She was sent to someone else, and she was sad for Aunt Lin, and worried about Uncle Lin, and those powerful maids who said sour words. She was full of heartache. Nowhere to go, naturally sad.

"Later Uncle Lin sent many things and people over one after another. You went to Jiangnan again and stayed with Uncle Lin. Sister Lin had a lot of worries and naturally she cried less. Later, Uncle Lin was promoted to an official position. , When we arrive in the capital, sister Lin returns home, so there is no need to cry."

He laughed again and said, "If it's like what you said, if you just cry all day for no reason, then what's the point?"

Jia Wan thought about it, so he told Lin Ruhai about taking him out of Beijing and letting Xichun move to be with Daiyu. Xichun smiled and said, "I'm still waiting for you to tell me? He told me."

Jia Wan said: "I'm here on behalf of the master, so it's different. You have to agree first, so the master can come to discuss with the old lady."

Xichun sighed, "Why do you think that Uncle Lin and Sister Lin are like our relatives?"

If she is like this, let alone Jia Wan.

Xichun sighed for a while, then glared at Jia Wan again, and said angrily, "What did you say in Baoyu's room just now, and we have only been separated for a while, and you are causing trouble again!

"Now we all live in the same mansion, and they are guests from afar, even if you don't like it, you should speak more tactfully."

"I was born with such a straightforward temper, and I can't say twists and turns," Jia Wan said: "Besides, if I speak too euphemistically, if they don't understand, wouldn't it be a waste of my words?"

Xichun let out a "puchi" laugh, poked him on the forehead, and said, "Just wait, this matter is not over yet!"

Naturally, there was no end to it. His words were originally intended for the masters of the Xue family, so how could there be no reaction at all?

The next day, Baochai, who had made an appointment with Daiyu and others to play together, sent someone to say that he was suffering from an old illness and would not come because he could not blow the wind.

Daiyu also said that something happened at home, so she had breakfast in the morning and went back to Lin's mansion.

In the afternoon Aunt Xue came to talk to Mother Jia, and mentioned the little girl named Xiangling, saying that she was really pitiful, and that it was Xue Pan who had committed crimes, so she couldn't bear to let her go, so she brought her all the way to the capital.

That girl is not only outstanding in appearance, but also in temperament and character. She has long wanted to be her goddaughter, but because she didn't want to wrong her, she waited until the capital and settled down before starting to make arrangements. Now the auspicious date has been chosen. Just tomorrow, when the time comes, please invite the old lady, concubine, etc. to sit down together.

Jiamu and the others didn't know where it was sung, they just pretended not to know, and sighed again that Aunt Xue was kind and Xiangling was very lucky.

Aunt Xue was used to hearing similar words, but this time, she smiled embarrassingly.

……

That afternoon, Jia Wan had just returned from practicing guns with Master Chen, and before he changed his clothes, Jia Zhen's people came and told him to go to the main room.

You don't even have to think about it to know what it is.

After entering the door, I found that Jia Zhen, Youshi, Jia Rong, and Xichun were all there. Jia Rong didn't know what he had done. She knelt on the ground and was scolded by Jia Zhen. The two sat aside, their faces were not very good-looking.

Seeing Jia Wan coming in, Xichun winked at him and told him to be softer: Jia Jing devoted himself to cultivating Taoism, and now they live with Jia Zhen, if they annoy him, how can they have a foothold in Ningguo Mansion in the future?

Jia Wan met Li first, smiled at Xichun, and said, "What's wrong with brother, why did you discipline Brother Rong in front of sister?"

He said again: "Sister, let's avoid it for a while. Brother Rong is not a child after all. Isn't it embarrassing for us to be here?"

Xichun got up, bowed to Jia Zhen, and said: "Since my brother wants to teach his son, Wan'er and I can't stay here, so we'll go back first... When my brother is free, it won't be too late for us."

Turn around to leave.

Jia Zhen said, "Wait first."

He kicked Jia Rong again, and cursed: "You bastard, I'm waiting for the master to help you!"

Jia Rong got up quickly and stood aside respectfully. Jia Zhenfu sat down again and said to Jia Wan, "Do you remember what you said in Baoyu's room yesterday?"

Jia Wan said: "It's just gossip. My brother has a good ear. What I said in Brother Bao's room yesterday, my brother will know today."

"It's not just me who knows!" Jia Zhen said angrily: "You are not too young now, and you have worshiped a famous teacher. It is supposed to be a little bit better, but look at what you have done!"

He said: "Although my concubine's family lives in Rongguo Mansion, they are relatives' family after all, and you can take care of their housework? You don't understand etiquette at all!

"That's all you need to do, but you made a mistake. I heard a few rumors from somewhere, so I just talked nonsense, and it turned out to be a joke, which made us all lose face!

"Tomorrow, you go over there honestly and stay with my aunt and brother Xue. If you can't ask for forgiveness, don't enter this house again!"

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Seeing that what he said was outrageous, You Shi hurriedly smoothed things over and said, "Brother Wan is young, and he has gone through such a thing, so when he heard about the kidnapper, he was unavoidably excited. Just explain it later, it's fine, my aunt won't get angry with him."

Then he said to Jia Wan: "The matter of Xiangling was originally a misunderstanding. My aunt had already decided to recognize her as a foster daughter, but she didn't make any fuss because of her busy schedule. Now it's decided to have a banquet tomorrow. I'll go there together, just accompany me lightly."

Adopted daughter?

Jia Wan was speechless. Aunt Xue arrived earlier than him, and lived here for almost two months. Who doesn't know whether they treat Xiangling like a girl or a girl?Is it interesting to forcefully apply a layer of powder on the face like this?

Seeing that Jia Wan lowered his eyes and said nothing, You Shi persuaded him: "If you don't want to talk, I can speak for you when the time comes. You just need to pour a cup of tea for the concubine, and this matter will be over... Brother Wan If you blame me for talking too much, it was because you were wrong, meddling in other people's housework is not the way for relatives to get along with each other."

In fact, Jia Wan doesn't understand this principle, but there must be someone to take care of some trivial matters, and someone to talk about some things, right?

In fact, he meddles in this nosy business, besides not being able to see it, he also has another purpose, which is to make that family feel ashamed to continue living in Rongguo Mansion.

In fact, although Jia Wan didn't like Aunt Xue and Baochai, he couldn't say he hated them too much. After all, this is how the world knows, even Baoyu thinks so, let alone them?

The crux of the problem is Xue Pan, who is a real scumbag.

Just because someone bought a girl with him, he ordered them to be beaten to death, and finally went on the road as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring a small life lawsuit.

Then this life lawsuit was wiped out lightly and cleverly, and it fueled his arrogance even more - it's okay to kill, what else would he not dare to do?

If it is said that he will not cause greater disasters in the future, Jia Wan will not believe it.

Now that he lives in the Rongguo Mansion, no matter what he does, the Jia family cannot get away with it, wouldn't he be upset?

Even if he will be honest in the future and stop causing trouble, Jia Wan also hopes that he will get away as far as possible.

Said: "Tomorrow I have to go to class, I don't have time to spare, since my sister-in-law can apologize for me, why don't you pour tea for me."

Make him apologize?Thinking too much?

Seeing that he was reticent in whatever he said, Youshi's expression froze, and he forced a smile and said, "Brother Wan, that's not what you said. After all, this matter started because of you. You must show your face tomorrow no matter what."

Jia Wan said: "I'm still studying tomorrow, how can I have time to join in this kind of fun?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored their expressions, turned around and left.

Jia Zhen was used to being the only one in the house, but she had never been ignored like this before, she was furious and said, "You little bastard, you can't help yourself! You have to go tomorrow, or you have to go if you don't!"

Jia Wan turned around abruptly, looked at him coldly, and said, "Who are you calling a bastard?"

Jia Zhen choked.

He was used to beating and scolding Jia Rong and the younger generation in his family like this. He said it smoothly, but blurted it out when he got angry, and forgot that the one standing in front of him was not his son, but his brother, even though this brother was younger than his son. Nearly ten years old.

You need to know that there are some things that can be said to a son, but are absolutely unacceptable to a brother.

Jia Wan snorted coldly and said: "Now that my father is still alive, you just talk like this... Are you scolding me, or are you scolding my father? Let's go, let's go to my father to judge!"

Xichun also wiped her tears and said: "Since there is no room for us here, let's go to find our father and follow him to become a Taoist monk!"

Said and ran out quickly.

You Shi hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Wan, Sister Xichun, calm down, calm down! Your brother was just in a hurry and said it smoothly, and there is absolutely no other meaning... I will apologize for him, but don't take offense. "

She stopped Xichun on the other side, and Jia Rong also knelt down to block Jia Wan's way, and said with a smile: "Second uncle, please don't be angry, all mistakes are all nephew's fault, it is nephew who annoyed father first, father When you are angry, you will not choose what to say, if you get annoyed by this, your father will kill your nephew later... just treat your poor nephew as a pity, and forgive your father for what happened."

Jia Zhen snorted coldly, and said: "It is true that I said something wrong for my brother just now, but you must apologize tomorrow!"

Walk away.

After he accepted the softness, Jia Wan and Xichun stopped arguing to find Jia Jing... They just went, it's no wonder that Jia Jing would uphold justice for them, he would only think that they missed his practice.

Youshi sent the two little ancestors back to the room after talking hard, and just sat down to drink a cup of tea to take a breath, when he suddenly saw the little girl running out of breath: "Madam, madam, it's not good, the second master and the fourth girl are cleaning up now." As for the luggage, they said they were going to move out!"

You Shi suddenly panicked, lifted his skirt and ran towards Xichun's yard, saying: "Quick, quick, hurry up and call the master!"

With someone, he stumbled into Xichun's courtyard, and saw Jia Wan and Xichun sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and the little girl in the room came in and out, vaguely seeing that a lot of things had been packed.

He hurriedly shouted: "Let it go! Let me go if you don't!"

Then he persuaded in a low voice: "Brother Wan, what are you doing? Your brother just said an angry word, and he was too humble, so why did you take it seriously! His tongue was still knocking his teeth, My brother, even though the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected, so why bother to be so serious."

Then he said to Xichun: "Fourth younger sister, I didn't mean you, Brother Wan is young and vigorous, you don't have to talk and persuade, it's all right, why are you also messing around with me?"

Jia Wan served Youshi a cup of tea, and said, "Sister-in-law, just now my brother said that if you don't apologize, then don't enter this house. After thinking about it, I still..."

"I'm not going! I'm not going!" You Shi stomped his feet and said repeatedly: "Brother Wan, of course it's important to study, and the important thing is to study."

Jia Wan said, "Sister-in-law, do you mean what you say?"

Before You Shi could speak, he heard Jia Zhen coughing and entered the door, saying: "We were all doing it for your own good. We were afraid that you would offend others if you didn't know how to behave, so we tried every means to make up for you. Since you don't appreciate it...just Well, if you want to go, go, if you don’t, don’t go.”

Jia Wan let out an "ah" and said: "I wanted to say, after much deliberation, I'd better go there. Since my brother said that I can go or not, then I won't go."

Jia Zhen and You Shi looked over together.

Jia Wan said sternly: "Of course I know that brother's words are just angry words. It is clearly written in the Daqian law. Parents are here, no private property, no separation of families, otherwise it is a crime of disobedience.

"So it's my brother who takes it seriously, and I don't dare to take it seriously, right? I'm young, so I can't blame me for anything, but if the censor finds out, Brother Shen is unkind and filial, and he will lose his ancestor's title at that time. How can my brother afford it?"

Jia Zhen's face turned blue, Youshi pointed to the cage in the house, and said suspiciously: "Then you are..."

Xichun said with a smile: "Uncle Lin is going to Beijing for business, he is afraid that Sister Lin will be bored at home alone, so he asked me to go and be a companion for Sister Lin, so I will put the things back first... the old lady has already called Greetings, but I haven't had time to say it to my sister-in-law yet."

Jia Zhen's eyes darkened in anger, and Jia Zhen walked away with a flick of her sleeves. Youshi hesitated to speak, shook his head, and followed.

Xichun sighed, and said: "Now the eldest brother and sister-in-law completely hate us."

Jia Wan said: "Why do you think brother insists on me going over to apologize?"

"Ok?"

Jia Wan said: "Isn't it because you are worried about the Uncle Wang who has just been promoted to the control of the nine provinces and was ordered to patrol the border, Prince Tengwang?"

Xichun frowned and said, "Since that's the case, you shouldn't be stubborn."

Although she was unwilling to swallow her anger, she couldn't spoil the business of the adults.

Jia Wan said, "How can it be that simple?

"Actually, it's okay to tell you, just don't talk nonsense outside. Now, the two in the palace are fighting. Master and Mr. Wang are not in the same boat."

Xichun covered her mouth with an "ah".

Jia Wandao: "Master is His Majesty's confidant, but Mr. Wang is a member of the Supreme Emperor. If we go to the Wang family and bow our knees, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the master? Besides, it's a big taboo to stand on two boats, and you can alienate yourself from the Wang family." It's a good thing."

Xichun said: "These are... what Uncle Lin told you?"

Jia Wan said vaguely, "That's right."

In fact, Lin Ruhai seldom mentioned government affairs with him, let alone Wang Ziteng, but it is an indisputable fact that Wang Ziteng is a close friend of the Supreme Emperor—if he was not a close friend, how could he be the governor of the capital and take charge of the capital? military power?

Now that he is sent out of Beijing, it seems that he has been promoted to an official position, but the position of command has always been a temporary appointment, and he will be dismissed upon dismissal, and the errand of patrolling the border is obviously also temporary... It can be seen that the promotion is fake, the emperor is looking for a reason It is true to take back the military power of the capital.

I'm afraid it's easy for him to go out, but difficult to come back.

……

In the remaining few days, Jia Wan concentrated on learning some skills and routines from Chen Hai, so that he could practice on his own after leaving Beijing. On the ninth day of March, he went out of Beijing with Lin Ruhai and his team.
