There is no phoenix

But Baoyu and Wang Ren gathered together for a drink on Chang'an Avenue in the evening, until Xushi, and Wang Ren suggested that everyone go to Jinxiang Pavilion to have fun together. Walk out of the wine shop.

Because the weather was slightly warmer, Baoyu saw the bustling streets, so he and Mingyan didn't rush back home, and wandered around the streets one after the other.

Baoyu was wandering around like this, and suddenly the two people in front made Baoyu stunned!

These two people are none other than Li Xun, a mandarin duck.

Baoyu doesn't know Li Xun, but Yuanyang is very familiar with him.Thinking of Yuanyang's refusal to accept Jia She's concubine, Baoyu always thought that Yuanyang was as cold-faced as Xichun.Unexpectedly, she is now with a handsome young man who is still holding her hand.And Yuanyang seemed to be enjoying all this meekly and happily, holding a bag of things in one hand while talking to that man.

Mingyan also saw Yuanyang and Li Xun, just like Baoyu, she was surprised to see Li Xun and Yuanyang talking and laughing in front of her.

But Yuanyang and Li Xun didn't seem to see Baoyu and Mingyan, and they entered a medicine shop together.

Baoyu sees the mandarin duck Li Xun hanging out so affectionately, and suddenly thinks of Xiren again. Hua Zifang says that Xiren is married, and she is willing.Thinking of Daiyu again, how close the two of them were at the beginning, now Daiyu has become the young concubine of the Beijing Palace, and will soon have a child.As for Shi Xiangyun, it is said that he has given birth to a son, and the husband he married is also a good-looking talent.

Thinking of this, Baoyu suddenly felt a burst of sadness.

There used to be so many beautiful women by my side, but they left one by one. I don't know if there is any one of them who will think of himself as "Mr. Yihong"?

After the sadness and depression, Baoyu no longer has the leisure time to go shopping, so he said to Mingyan: "Mingyan, let's go back!"

When Baoyu returned to Yihong Courtyard, Baochai did not fall asleep, but waited for Baoyu to come back, and prepared a hangover soup for Baoyu.

Unlike Baoyu's mood when she went out, Baochai saw that Baoyu came back not too late, but with a sullen face, and asked with concern: "Brother Bao, let's drink the hangover soup first, and I will ask Yinger to bring you hot water. "

Baoyu didn't speak, but silently took the hangover soup and drank it in one gulp, then turned to wash up.

Baochai was used to seeing Baoyu's moodiness like this, and knowing Baoyu's mood, she must go to the study to sleep alone again, so she got up and went into the room melancholy.

That night, Baoyu really didn't go to Baochai's house, and slept alone in the study.

But Jia Amnesty said that because he had been busy building that other courtyard outside during this period, he left early and returned late every day.Although the current courtyard is not big, it is enough for the "golden house to hide the beauty". There are three courtyards, one large, two small, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and farmland on both sides. It is indeed a very good place for leisure.

This other courtyard cost Jia She nearly 3 taels of silver, and spent all his money.Now that there is another courtyard, what Jia Amnesty wants most now is to buy some stunning young women, but he has no money on him, so he went to find Jia Mu again.

After breakfast on April [-]th, Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing came to Jia's mother and said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, the other courtyard outside my son has been built. My son wants to invite the old lady to have a look. Is your wife willing to go?"

Mother Jia saw that Mrs. Jia Shexing was so enthusiastic, and she hadn't gone out for a long time. Now that the weather is warm, she really wants to go outside, so she nodded and said: "It's rare that you are so filial. It’s good to go out and have a look.”

Jia She said: "Old lady, the son will ask Ping'er to bring sister Qiao to accompany you tomorrow, and then we will come back together."

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Call Shang Baoyu too. It's rare that he is studying so hard now, and it makes him happy. Maybe it will be easier to take the exam when he comes back."

Jia Amnesty knew that Jia's mother loved Baoyu the most, so he nodded and said, "Okay, listen to mother and bring Baoyu tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Mother Jia was in a particularly good mood because she thought about going out, so she asked Amber to tidy up. After breakfast, someone from Jia Amnesty came over and said, "Old lady, the lord and the lady are ready Once the car is ready, the Elder Master and Baoyu are already waiting outside the residence on horseback."

After hearing this, Mother Jia hurriedly asked Amber to help her out for a ride.

Undoubtedly, Jia's mother was in a good mood during her trip to the other courtyard in the suburbs.Not only Jia's mother, but Mrs. Xing and Bao Yuping's children are also in a good mood.Looking at the other courtyard surrounded by mountains, water, farmland and ponds, Jia Mu said: "This place is really good, but the things inside are a bit rough. If you have time to live here for a few days, I'm afraid you can have a good time with Grandma Liu. Just as healthy.”

Seeing that Mother Jia was happy, Jia She said with a smile: "If the old lady likes this place, she can come here at any time. Although this place belongs to the son in name, which of the son's is not the old lady's? As long as the old lady likes it and is in good health, the son will give it to her." This other courtyard is also willing to give to my mother."

After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he immediately took out a key, handed it to Mother Jia, and said, "Mother, I will give you this key. You can come whenever you want. However, my son is short for building this other courtyard." Five thousand silver, how could it be so simple? When my son has more money, he will buy two girls to stay here. When the old lady likes it, she can come at any time, and someone will take care of her. Even if she lives in the mountains for a few days, it will be very convenient. .”

Mother Jia heard this, but did not pick up the key. She sighed and said, "I appreciate your filial piety. But I like this place very much. Maybe I will come here often next time. I put the key with your wife. From now on, I just want to Come on, I will definitely call your wife too. Since you are saying that now, how can I watch you live so tight? When I go back later, I will give you another 3000 taels, and you can figure out other things yourself. "

Seeing that Mother Jia had agreed to give another 3000 taels, Jia Amnesty was delighted, and gave the key to Mrs. Xing with a busy smile.Jia's mother said again: "I don't think there is any need to buy a girl, just send a room of family members from our house to come here."

Jia She said: "My son also thought about it, but I don't have any suitable people there, so I want to buy two more girls. Besides, the people in our house have already arranged positions, which is not good. Turn it on."

After hearing this, Jia Mu had no choice but to say: "Then do as you want, and you should choose loyal and capable people when you buy anything."

Jia She said: "Don't worry, mother, I won't buy too much. Now that the family is short of money, I can't spend a lot of money. I just buy two proper girls."

Jia Mu sighed: "When it comes to a proper girl, how can you say that you can buy it if you buy it, such as mandarin ducks. If there is such a capable girl to sell, I am willing to pay 1000 taels."

Jia She said: "Since this is the case, why should mother allow her to go out freely? Now that she is gone, what's the use of regretting?"

Jia Mu said: "Although I am old, I still know the word honesty. I promised it that way at the beginning, and Pian Yuanyang has always remembered it, so I can only let her go."

Baoyu heard this and said: "Old lady, Yuanyang must be married now. I saw her with her husband two days ago, and she looked very happy."

Mother Jia asked in surprise, "Baoyu, did you really see Yuanyang and her husband? How is that man? What does he do?"

Baoyu said: "Old lady, I only saw Yuanyang and that man shopping together from a distance. The man was tall and handsome, just like Lian's second brother. Must be nice people with sabers, but I didn't speak to them."

Jia She sneered and said: "Mother, you are afraid that you will be fooled by the mandarin ducks. I will say that she is scheming, but she has been coaxing the kindness of the old lady. She has hooked up with men outside, or she will marry as soon as she goes out." People are still so happy? I thought she was so noble and not married."

Jia Mu said: "The mandarin ducks went out on the fifth day of the first lunar month. They were all with me before. How could they know people outside? Maybe they met by chance?"

Jia She said: "Coincidence? Old lady, how can there be such a good coincidence? Baoyu, let me ask you, where did you meet Yuanyang and her husband?"

Baoyu said: "On Chang'an Avenue, when it was almost Xushi, Mingyan and I both saw it."

Jia She said: "Chang'an Avenue? Is it still at night? So they live there? Old lady, look, I'm not lying, my son, I'm afraid that Yuanyang hasn't been to Chang'an Avenue a few times, and she hasn't been outside." Acquaintance, if there is no place to stay, how could a girl like her leave our house so simply? She must have hooked up with people outside."

What will Jia Mu say when she hears this? Let's see below.
