Continue to write the dream of red mansions with the routine of house fighting

Baochai went back to her room, and seeing the rumors scattered all over the room, she couldn't help shaking her head.Baoyu didn't sleep soundly at first, but when he heard the movement, he woke up.Seeing Baochai squatting on the ground to clean up, he felt embarrassed, blushed and said with a shy smile, "Sister, why do you do this by yourself?" They picked them up and put them on the desk.Over there, Ying'er had pulled Musk Moon down, leaving only his husband and wife in the room.Seeing Baochai ignoring him, Baoyu became more and more bored, so he went on to say, "Why is my sister ignoring me? Who offended my sister? Or who bullied my sister?" Baochai saw that he was so ignorant and ignored him. Xian still should be annoyed, so he could only sigh: "You are grown up now, not as good as you were when you were young, anyway, you should read some serious books. What's the use of these talented men and women?"

Baoyu didn't expect Baochai to talk about fame and fortune again, so she immediately lowered her face, and Baochai didn't wait for him to get angry and said, "Do you know that Lian's second brother has been taken away? Even the title of the mansion will not be guaranteed." I don’t know what’s going on! Now that the masters and wives are old, if you don’t give up, who will they rely on? In the past, you could still point at the empress, but in the future, there will be no future! Now the empress is also dead. Who can you rely on in the future?" Baoyu was stunned for a while when he heard this, Baochai saw him staring straight away, and was afraid of exacerbating his half-crazy, half-stupid illness, and felt that he was being forced too far, so she had to speak softly Persuading him: "I'm not saying I don't want you to read these miscellaneous books, but these things have always been used for entertainment. How can anyone cling to them all day long? Who is a serious person who is not farming and reading? Even if it is not good for business Well, people have to stand up on their own, how can parents, wives and children worry more when they get bigger? Do you think this is the truth?" Baoyu was dumbfounded, not knowing whether he listened or not, Baochai looked at him , repeatedly shook his head and sighed.

Just at this time, she suddenly heard Yu Chuan's voice from outside, saying: "Is Second Mistress at home? Ma'am is calling!" Baochai was puzzled, so she resigned from Mrs. Wang and came back. Why did she ask her to go again now?At the moment, there was no time to think about it and hurriedly responded, then turned to Baoyu and said, "Think about it carefully, is what I just said right?" room to go.

At this time, Jia Zheng was also in the upper house. He had already negotiated with Jia Amnesty that the second house would pay for the remaining shortfall, keep the patriarch's royal title, and try to find some connections to get rid of the affairs of Ping'an Prefecture. go out.Mrs. Wang also persuaded for a while, but seeing that Jia Zheng had made up her mind and would not change it, she had to invite Baochai to discuss it first.

Aunt Zhou lifted the curtain and went down with the girls.Baochai bowed into the room, and saw Mrs. Jia Zhengwang and his wife sitting in the main hall, and became more and more suspicious.Seeing her coming in, Mrs. Wang quickly pulled her to sit beside her.Seeing that she had settled down, Jia Zheng wanted to speak, but a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, looked at Mrs. Wang, then at Baochai, his old face turned red, but he couldn't get the words out.According to Jia Zheng's behavior, asking him to open his mouth to beg for money from the younger generation, he couldn't bear this face!

When Baochai saw that Jia Zheng seemed to have something to say but didn't seem to open his mouth, Baochai knew that this must be very embarrassing for him, so he opened his mouth first and said, "I don't know why father and mother called their daughter-in-law here? " Mrs. Wang also felt embarrassed. Since Baochai married in, although Jia's family did not use her dowry less, it is really embarrassing to say it blatantly. If you don't say it, in the future Lost the title of the ancestors, and Baoyu also suffers?Thinking of this, she looked at Jia Zheng, who knew that Jia Zheng was also looking at her, her eyes met for a while, Jia Zheng's face was burning and he quickly lowered his head to pretend to be drinking tea.Mrs. Wang had no choice but to sigh and ask Baochai first, "Is Baoyu better today?" The madam wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile: "That's all right. Thanks to you taking care of him, your master and I can feel more at ease." As if she had made up her mind and refused to speak, Mrs. Wang also felt guilty and did not know how to direct the conversation to Kui Kong. None of the three people in the room spoke, only the chiming bell rang three or four times in succession.

Baochai looked at the expressions of the two of them, and thought about what he had heard today, and he already understood a little bit in his heart.She is intelligent by nature, so how could she not know the reason for the end of eggs when the nest is overturned?If the Jia family is destroyed, not only will she have nowhere to live, but even the Xue family will not be able to survive. With the wealth of the Xue family, there must be a backer like the Wang family of the Jia family to support it, otherwise it will be meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered , now the Wang family has been defeated, and if even the Jia family is gone... Baochai didn't dare to think anymore, and knelt down straight. Seeing her kneeling, Mrs. Wang quickly pulled her up and said, "Good boy, what are you doing?" What? We are close relatives of the same family, and there are no outsiders in front of us, so we just sit and talk about what we have to say?"

Baochai stood up and said: "What my wife said just now is the right thing. We are a family of flesh and blood. What is there to say? Now that something has happened in the family, since I married in and became our daughter-in-law, I can’t just stand by and watch. Even if I never married, I can’t watch my uncle’s and aunt’s family suffer and ignore it. My mother is my wife’s direct sister, and my wife’s affairs are the same as my mother’s. The affairs of this family are also my own. Mother's business!"

Mrs. Wang was overwhelmed with gratitude when she heard her words, and hurriedly pulled Baochai over, hugged her in her arms and cried, "My son, if only you were really my son! If Baoyu is as sensible as you, I can also close my eyes with peace of mind!" As he spoke, tears rolled down his face.Baochai hurriedly persuaded: "Now that I am married in and become my mother's daughter-in-law, am I not also my mother's child?" Mrs. Wang wiped her tears and said, "It's exactly what you said. Baoyu married you and it's him Our blessings are also our blessings!" After speaking, he looked at Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng never expected that Baochai, a woman, had such a heart. , if that evil person dares to betray you, I will be the first one not to spare him."

Upon hearing this, Baochai hurriedly said: "Second Master has treated me very well, so don't worry about the master and wife. Now let's make up for the shortfall owed by the elder master!" Jia Zheng quickly nodded in agreement, and listened to Baochai Then he said: "I just heard from the old man that there is still more than 35 taels of silver, and now I don't have any cash in hand. Please let the old man and his wife give me a few days. When I go home, I ask Xue Bian to take the meeting ticket." Go to the shop to exchange, and then fold some jewelry heads that are not needed, and you can probably make up a lot of money." After hearing this, Jia Zheng felt relieved and said, "You and the tadpole will do this. Of course we can rest assured, but I still have something to ask for help! If you want to go home, please tell him." When Baochai asked what happened, Jia Zheng said, "Now Lian'er has been locked up. There is no trustworthy person in the family to help inquire about the news outside, I thought about it, and I can only ask my aunt to find Tiao'er for help." After hearing this, Baochai hurriedly agreed, and Madam Wang gave her a few more instructions, and finally Tell her to go to Xue's house as soon as possible.After hearing this, Baochai didn't dare to delay. When she came out from Mrs. Wang, she went straight to Xue's house.

Now Xue's house is still connected to the inner courtyard of Jia's house, so Baochai walks a few more steps and walks back to her mother's house from her husband's house, so she doesn't need Xue Biao to pick her up in a car, which saves a lot of trouble.

Aunt Xue was lying on the couch taking medicine. Seeing Baochai coming back alone, she didn't know what was going on and asked, "My son, why are you free today? I heard that Lian'er was locked up. What exactly is it for?"

Baochai had no choice but to tell Aunt Xue the whole story, and Aunt Xue sighed, "Son, are you really willing to fill this hole for his family?" Baochai nodded and sighed in Aunt Xue's arms. Said: "What if my daughter doesn't make love? The example of the historian is right in front of me. Those women's family members are so noble in ordinary times, but once they ransacked their homes, they are even worse than cattle and horses. No one else said, Sister Shi still has no whereabouts until today. I don't know if it's life or death!" Aunt Xue sighed while rubbing Baochai: "It's all my fault, I thought I married you, at least your aunt can protect you, and our family can keep these things! Who knows? I pushed you into the fire pit!" After saying that, he covered his face and burst into tears.Baochai hurriedly persuaded: "Mother is of course doing it for her daughter's good. It's just that the way of heaven is permanent and the world is impermanent. It won't help if we regret and resent at this time. Besides, my brother had an accident at that time, and my mother can entrust me to me." Who? Could it be that I was married off by someone who had settled in a poor family? Naturally, I would entrust it to my aunt, so my mother can rest assured." Seeing that Baochai comforted her, Aunt Xue cried more and more until she couldn't catch her breath.Baochai said again: "Money is something outside of the body. Getting too much may not be a burden. Now that it can help people out of disasters, why should we hide it?" Aunt Xue wiped her tears and said, "It doesn't matter if it's money or not. Now, I just want to ask you, how is Baoyu treating you?"

Baochai felt sore, and was afraid that Aunt Xue would be worried, so she hurriedly held back her tears and said with a smile, "Mom doesn't know Baoyu yet? He is very good to my daughters!" Aunt Xue looked at her thinner daughter with distress. The face asked: "Who asked you if he is good to others? You just tell me if he is good to you. If he always misses Miss Lin and wrongs you, just tell me, and I will go find your mother-in-law! As he was about to get up, Baochai hurriedly stopped Aunt Xue and said, "Baoyu treats me very well and has never wronged me. Mother, don't worry about it. It's just that his illness is good and bad, and there are always relapses. Fortunately, I came today." I saw a clever doctor and gave him a few needles, and I think he understands better than usual."

Then Aunt Xue nodded, lay down again, and asked Baochai, "You have made up your mind since you were a child. Since you have made up your mind to pay off the deficit for his family, I can't persuade you. I only have one more thing to do." Let me ask you, you paid back the shortfall for the eldest house today, and if the Jia family splits up in the future, wouldn’t your dowry be for nothing?" Baochai laughed and said, "The master has already negotiated with the elder master, and the second house will replace you He paid the money, and if we want to divide the family in the future, the Elder Master will return the money to us." Aunt Xue shook her head and said: "I don't think the Elder Master over there is a trustworthy person, you forgot about him Was it about begging for mandarin ducks back then? Even his own mother was plotting against him, let alone your nephew and daughter-in-law?" Baochai said: "The master agreed with him and made a written statement. Now I will take care of the note. If he refuses, we will take care of it." You can go to see the official!" Aunt Xue is a person who has nothing to do, but now she has only one daughter, Baochai, so why not do more for her?Baochai leaned into Aunt Xue's arms and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, I will save the weight. It would be best if Baoyu can stand up in the future if he has a future; " Aunt Xue saw that Baochai was thinking about Zhou Xiang, so she stopped trying to persuade her.The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and they didn't realize that it was the hour of You.Only then did someone report that Xue Biao had returned to the mansion, and he came to say hello to Aunt Xue in a while.
