[Red Chamber] Feijun does not "marry"
Work related
Entering the palace and being selected as a servant of the princess is one point closer to the royal family, and there will be a bright future in the future.If she can really fly up to the branches and become a phoenix, then she will pull her brother one or two in the future, and the Xue family will have hope.But now she lost the election for no reason, so Aunt Xue couldn't help but draw a ghost on Jia Yuanchun. Since there is no hope of entering the palace, she should choose the next best thing.
After Aunt Xue returned home, she called Xue Baochai into her bedroom. The two of them sat on the kang, and Aunt Xue hugged Xue Baochai.
While crying, he said: "My poor son, now these short-sighted people have let you lose the election before seeing my son. This is their loss. My son looks like this, and so Talented, both ability and political integrity, but I don't want to let this screwdriver kill me. It's my incompetence as a mother, I can't do anything more for my son."
When Baochai heard from her mother that she had lost the election, and it seemed that there was still a reason for losing, she felt a thump in her heart, and tears fell uncontrollably.Later, when he heard his mother's self-blame, he couldn't help but feel sad, so he began to cry in his mother's arms.
After the two mothers cried for a while, Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's back comfortingly and said, "My son, do you think this is possible?" Then Aunt Xue pointed to where Mrs. Wang was.
Xue Baochai withdrew from Aunt Xue's arms and wiped her face with a handkerchief. When she saw her mother pointing to Mrs. Wang's residence, she knew she meant Jia Yuanchun, Jia's cousin who had entered the palace.
Xue Baochai thought for a while, then shook her head at Aunt Xue, and said, "I don't think so, my cousin will say something kind to me whenever she has a chance. If I enter the palace, I will definitely talk to my cousin. Standing aside, she will be even more powerful when the time comes, and she will definitely be in a better situation than she is now. Cousin was brought up under the knees of the old lady, and she is a person with both ability and integrity, so she will definitely not do such a short-sighted behavior. "
After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Aunt Xue also felt that there was some truth, and then she remembered the second-best thing, so she said to Xue Baochai: "My son, you are 13 years old now. How about just wanting to make a marriage for you? Your aunt has always wanted to get married with us, what do you think about this?"
Xue Baochai blushed when she heard this, brushed Aunt Xue with a handkerchief, then turned her head, so ashamed that she was too embarrassed to look at her mother again.
"What did mom say? How did you talk to me about it so well?"
Aunt Xue saw that her daughter was shy, so she hugged Xue Baochai into her arms and said, "My son, why don't you be embarrassed, if you want me to say that my son's appearance is worthy of all men in the world. Now there is another It's just the two of us, just let go and say, what do you think of Baoyu?"
When Xue Baochai heard that Aunt Xue mentioned Jia Baoyu, the blush on her face faded a little. She thought that it was him that her aunt and mother mentioned, but she didn't expect it to be him.
Xue Baochai straightened up and said to Aunt Xue, "Baoyu? Why him?"
Aunt Xue said in surprise: "It's not who Baoyu is. Baoyu is the phoenix egg of Jia's mansion. She was born with jade in her mouth, and she must have a great fortune in the future. If you don't marry her, is it possible that you want to marry Jia Yu? Baoyu is better than Jia Yu." Jia Yu is old, and Baoyu will inherit the family business in the future, so Jia Yu is unlucky."
Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable when Aunt Xue said this about Jia Yu. She frowned slightly and said to Aunt Xue: "Mom, don't say that about Jia Yu. I think Jia Yu will be promising in the future, and Baoyu is just one of them." A stone that is not useful. Look at him, he is only 11 years old, and he is with Xiren..." Xue Baochai was embarrassed to continue. After all, she is a young girl who has not left the court. It's too embarrassing to say those rough words I heard from my mother-in-law.
When Aunt Xue heard Xue Baochai mention the absurdity of Baoyu and Xiren, she also felt unhappy for a while, and frowned: "My son, why worry about this, in the future, you will only be an aunt who was born as a maid, and you can do it again." Where can Bounce go. With your means, you still can't handle her as a beauty? As long as you don't let her give birth to the eldest son before you, even if she is favored again, so what? With my son's appearance, are you afraid that you won't be able to hold Baoyu's heart?"
After hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai was still in a state of disbelief about Jia Baoyu and Xiren.Besides, she herself has a good impression of Jia Yu. Comparing Jia Yu and Jia Baoyu together, anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is the good one and who is the bad one.
It's just that she didn't understand whether it was her aunt's intention or her mother's intention to look down on Jia Yu.If it's what my aunt means, does she value herself or despise herself?
After much deliberation, Xue Baochai still decided to ask clearly: "Mom, was this matter brought up by my aunt? What did she say about Baoyu and Brother Yu?"
Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand, and said with a smile: "It's not your aunt. Since the old lady brought Lin girl from Yangzhou, she just wanted to let her granddaughter marry her grandson. At that time, Jia Yu was still a fool. The old lady must be thinking about Baoyu. Your aunt was anxious all of a sudden. That girl Lin looked mean and short-lived, how could she promise Baoyu. She always wanted us to come to Beijing. Is this not a family matter? Since I can't get away from you and I always hoped that you could enter the palace, I have never agreed to this matter. Now, since you can't enter the palace, it is the best choice for you to marry Baoyu."
As soon as Xue Baochai heard it, she understood that Jia Yu might be underestimated by her aunt, but in the final analysis she still valued herself.Although she herself is more optimistic about Jia Yu, her parents' orders cannot be violated, so she followed her mother's arrangements, so she agreed shyly.
Aunt Xue was very happy when she saw Xue Baochai's answer. She kept patting Xue Baochai's hand excitedly, and then talked about the plan she had discussed with Mrs. Wang.
"My son, you also know that your aunt is in this mansion, and there is an old lady above her. She is not free as a daughter-in-law. None of the few children born here are raised under her knees. Now this Although she is interested in you in the marriage, she can't make the decision. Now we are discussing that this jade was born with jade in his mouth, and this psychic jade is a treasure. We thought, why not say that you have a golden lock since childhood, Isn't this precious jade paired with a golden lock to achieve this golden and jade marriage, isn't it a beautiful thing?"
After hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai disapproved in her heart, but since her mother and aunt had bothered to arrange for her, she had no choice but to obey.After all, she still has a rival, Lin Daiyu, the girl who caught her heart at first sight.
Although Lin Daiyu is three years younger than her, her overall style is not weaker than hers at all. If there is anyone in Jia's mansion who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her, then Lin Daiyu is the best candidate.
But Xue Baochai thought again: "Mom, why bother to make such a cumbersome thing, I see that girl Lin doesn't care about Baoyu, even if the husband is affectionate, the concubine has no intention of it."
Aunt Xue looked at Baochai with a smile and said: "My son, this is why you don't understand. They were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even if they don't show it on the surface, who knows what is in their hearts?" Thinking about it, you must know that people’s hearts are far from your belly. You should follow the method I discussed with your aunt to ensure that you can marry a good man in the end."
Xue Baochai smiled shyly at Aunt Xue and said, "Then do as mother said."
☆, Chai Dai confrontation
This day, Zhou Rui's family saw off Grandma Liu, and came to Mrs. Wang to answer, and was told that Mrs. Wang had gone to Aunt Xue's place to talk about family affairs.
So Zhou Rui's family went to Pear Fragrance Garden again, and when they came to Pear Fragrance Garden, they saw Jin Chuan'er playing with a little girl. It's talking inside.
Zhou Rui's family raised the curtain and came in. They saw Mrs. Wang chatting with Aunt Xue, so they were not disturbed. When they went inside, they saw Xue Baochai wearing homely clothes and a simple bun, lying on the kang table with her maid Yinger. It's drawing flowers.
Seeing Zhou Rui's family come in, Baochai hurriedly put down her pen and said, "Sister Zhou is here, sit down quickly."
Zhou Rui's family hurriedly replied: "How is the girl? Why haven't you seen me for two or three days?"
Baochai concealed her anger and said, "I've made another mistake. I don't feel very comfortable, so I didn't go out for a walk."
Zhou Rui's family asked again: "What is the disease and what medicine do you take?"
Baochai thought for a while and said: "Don't talk about taking medicine or anything, my panacea is not easy to work. It was a bald monk who came to teach a prescription from the sea that year, called Lengxiang Wan. Afterwards, take a pill and you will be fine." So Baochai told Zhou Rui's family in detail how to make Lengxiang pills, and Zhou Rui's family was amazed.
While talking, I heard Mrs. Wang asking: "Who is in the room?"
When Zhou Rui's family heard this, they quickly stopped talking and went out, and replied: "Madam, it's me." Then they returned the matter of Grandma Liu, and saw that Mrs. Wang had no other orders to leave.
Aunt Xue stopped Zhou Rui's family, opened a jewelry box casually, and said to Zhou Rui's family: "This is a new style in the palace, with twelve flowers from the gauze pile. I remembered yesterday, it's a pity to leave it for nothing." Why don't you wear them to their sisters. I was going to send them yesterday, but I forgot. You came today by coincidence, so you can take them with you. The three girls in your family each have a pair, and the remaining six , give Miss Lin two, and give the other four to Brother Feng."
Mrs. Wang said: "Save it for Bao girl to wear, and think about what they do."
Aunt Xue said: "Madam, you don't know, Bao girl is weird, she never loves these flower fans."
So Zhou Rui's family took the jewelry box and went to Wang Xifeng's yard first, and when they arrived at Sister Feng's yard, they asked the woman outside: "Second Grandma, is she up for her afternoon nap?"
The mother-in-law shook her head. At this time, Zhou Rui's family heard Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's playfulness in the room, and after a while Ping'er came out with a basin to pour water.
Zhou Rui's family hurried forward to tell the story, opened the box, and asked Ping'er to pick out four palace flowers.Ping'er took the palace flowers into the house, and after a while took two out of them, called Caiming, and sent them to Grandma Xiao Rong in the East Mansion.
Zhou Rui's family sent palace flowers to Sister Feng, and went to Jiamu's yard. Because Baoyu and Jia Yu didn't live with Jiamu, Sanchun and Daiyu stayed with Jiamu in the end. Moved to live in the three small buildings behind Mrs. Wang's main house.
Zhou Rui's family came to the warm pavilion behind Jiamu's main room, where the four girls were all playing.So I opened the box and asked the girls to choose by themselves. The girls picked out the ones they liked, and the maid put them away, and thanked Zhou Rui's family.
Zhou Rui's family left after completing the task. Jia Yu heard the little girl Dong'er said these things in the room, and then remembered that Baochai had indeed gone out like this not long after entering the mansion.But what is different from now is that it was the last one sent to Sister Lin, and the remaining two were selected by others.
No matter it is in the book or now, after Sister Lin enters Jia's mansion, no matter food and clothing or anything, she is the first one. Even Jia's mother's granddaughters have to be in the back row, and Zhou Rui's family will dare to fall. All of them, and the last one was given to Sister Lin, which shows that Mrs. Wang's handwriting is indispensable behind this.
Now it's just because of Jia Yu's relationship that the girls' residences have changed, and today it's a coincidence that everyone is playing together again.If this is all in everyone's room, I'm afraid it will go the same way as in the book.It seems that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang have teamed up, and now this is a blow to Daiyu, and a golden marriage will come soon...
Jia Yu thought about it, and smiled playfully, is life really too peaceful?He still likes a little challenging day.Thinking of Mrs. Wang's intervention, Jia Yu frowned.
Jia Yu sent Dong'er away with a wave, and said to the air, "Go to Jianbaozhai and bring me a box of top-quality pearl hairpins."
Speaking of Jianbaozhai, it was Jia Yu's property in the first place. Under Biyin's management, grandmas and wives of rich families were proud to get a piece of jewelry from Jianbaozhai.Even the concubines and princesses in the palace appreciate them very much, and they often wear the few pieces they get.
What is the secret to the operation of Jianbaozhai?One is expensive, very expensive, only the nobles can afford it.The second is fine, very delicate, and the workmanship of each piece of jewelry is extremely exquisite and meticulously crafted.The third is rarity. There are only a few pieces of each kind of jewelry, and they will be gone when they are sold out. For top-level jewelry, there is only one piece of each kind. When it is gone, it is gone.In order to avoid troubles, the molds of these top jewelry can be made and destroyed without any trouble.
Now Jia Yu's move is a box of top-quality pearl hairpins, but it is definitely priceless and expensive.
After a few quarters of an hour, an exquisitely crafted red sandalwood makeup coffin box, hollowed out, carved and inlaid with precious stones, was placed on Jia Yu's desk.Jia Yu wrote a few words on the paper with a pen, put the note into the box, and let Ye Yi deliver it to Lin Daiyu's room.
When Lin Daiyu returned to her room from Yingchun's room, she felt aggrieved.It's not that I didn't notice Aunt Xue's fight today. If I was in my room at that time, then the last two remaining ones would definitely be my own.Although I was a cousin in Jia's mansion, it was never my turn to be insulted by Xue's family.
So, after playing for a while, Daiyu felt out of the mood, and went back to her room to lie on the couch and read a book.As soon as she entered the bedroom, Daiyu saw an extremely delicate jewelry box on her dressing table, which looked very expensive at first sight.
Lin Daiyu opened the box suspiciously, and saw a box of pearl hairpins inside, each of which was very exquisite, and at a glance, she knew it was the work of the famous Jianbaozhai in the capital.Lin Daiyu saw the note on the pearl hairpin, picked it up and opened it, and there was only two words on it: "for personal use."
As soon as Daiyu saw the handwriting, she knew it belonged to Jia Yu. These years, Jia Yu studied with Jia Yucun, and Daiyu often went to listen to her husband's lectures.Therefore, they are very familiar with each other's handwriting, and besides, Jia Yu didn't deliberately conceal it, so Daiyu can naturally find out who's handwriting it is.
Holding the note and thinking for a while, Daiyu understood Jia Yu's meaning, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, which was really a slap in the face.Daiyu understands that Jia Yu is afraid that she will be wronged, and this is to find her a place, hehe, this brother Yu has not changed for many years, and he always protects his shortcomings like this.
After years of getting along, there is a tacit understanding between Daiyu and Jia Yu.Because of Jia Yu's relationship, Daiyu embarked on the path of cultivation, and the two became closer because they shared a common secret, but Daiyu knew very well that Jia Yu treated her like a brother and sister.
Daiyu always understood that the old lady hoped that she could choose between Jia Baoyu and Jia Yu, but unfortunately she didn't like Jia Baoyu, and brother Yu had always been her respected brother.Besides, when she embarked on the journey of cultivating immortals, she was naturally no longer the same as ordinary people. Even her long life prevented her from finding someone to marry at will.
Daiyu picked out eight pearl hairpins from the jewelry box, put them in another box, then called the red thread, and ordered: "You give two of the pearl hairpins here to Sister Feng, and Xiaorong from Dongfu Two for grandma, one for each of the three girls in our family, and the last one for Miss Bao. If anyone asks how it came here, just say it was brought in by the Lin family."
The red thread is the maid that Jia Yu picked out to give to Lin Daiyu back then. This maid has cared about Jia Yu since she was still suffering from dementia.Later, Jia Yu woke up and inspected it carefully, and then when Sister Lin came, she replaced the parrot, who later became Zicuckoo.
Of course Hongxian could understand Lin Daiyu's meaning, not to mention Miss Lin also understood what she said, so he wrote it down one by one and delivered it as ordered.
When the red thread delivered the last pearl hairpin to Xue Baochai of Lixiangyuan, Baochai's expression was extremely ugly, she reluctantly thanked the red thread, and went into the house under the pretext of feeling uncomfortable.
Aunt Xue outside looked at the exquisite pearl hairpin and knew that she was being slapped in the face. Although the palace flower she was holding was made by the imperial court, it was just for wearing and playing.The pearl hairpins sent by Lin Daiyu are top-notch at first glance, and the ladies in the palace don't have many of them. This time, there are eight of them. It is really generous and rich to the extreme, and this mouth is also impressive. Hit loudly to the extreme.
Mrs. Wang had just returned to her main room when she heard about this and she was so angry that she dropped her teacup.This girl from the Lin family, just like her short-lived mother, was born to restrain her.She and Aunt Xue came up with such a trick, which can be good to the girls and daughters-in-law at home, and embarrass Lin girl.
In the end, it took so much effort to slap her with such a loud slap. At this moment, Bao girl still doesn't know how to feel wronged.
Then Mrs. Wang thought about the silver money to buy these pearl hairpins, a bright light flashed in her eyes, this little girl has a lot of money in her hands.Was it given by the old lady?Or was it given by the Lin family?The ancestor of the Lin family was listed as a Marquis, and he was also a noble family. The family background is really solid, and the position of old uncle Lin in Yangzhou is really a fat vacancy.
When Jia Yu received the news and saw Lin Daiyu's actions, she smiled with satisfaction.Then thinking of Mrs. Wang, Jia Yu paused and walked towards Mrs. Wang's yard...
☆、Jin Yu Liang Yuan
Baochai and Daiyu's arena can only be understood by those with discerning eyes. Children like Xichun are only rare for the exquisite and luxurious pearl hairpins, and they are thinking, why everyone has so much money, you send a palace flower, I sent a pearl hairpin, which is really beneficial.
As a result of the confrontation between Chai and Dai, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were so angry that they couldn't eat, dropped several teacups, and tore many handkerchiefs.When Mother Jia heard about this, she narrowed her eyes with a smile. She was afraid that if Daiyu was raised into a kitten, she wouldn't know how to fight back if someone bullied her. Now she felt more at ease.
Although she didn't know how Lin Yatou's top bead flowers came from, she knew that Lin Yatou had noble people to help her, and the child's health was getting better and better, so how could she not know.
Because of this, Jia Yu admired Daiyu a little more, but he didn't dislike Baochai himself, it was just because Baochai was now on the opposite side of Daiyu.If one day Baochai doesn't aim at Daiyu, it doesn't matter if he helps her, she is a beautiful girl.
Jia Baoyu didn't feel the weird atmosphere in the mansion. He knew from Zhou Rui's house that Baochai hadn't left the house for a few days because of an old illness.
So he came back from Jia Mu's Courtyard that day and went to Lixiang Courtyard on the way, intending to see Xue Baochai.On the way, it happened that Lin Daiyu and Jia Yu were also going to see Xue Baochai together, so the three of them left together.
On the way, Jia Baoyu kept getting close to Lin Daiyu, and sister Lin hid without a trace.In the end, it was Jia Yu who couldn't see it anymore, and grabbed Jia Baoyu to change the topic.
Originally, Jia Baoyu was not very happy to see the two of them coming together, but now he found that the relationship between Jia Yu and Daiyu was closer than his own, and he was even more unhappy.Then he found that Jia Yu was always taking care of Daiyu, and he felt wronged.
Jia Yu and Daiyu didn't care what Jia Baoyu was thinking, they just said a few words occasionally. They actually met Xue Baochai together on the road, and they didn't make an appointment to be together on purpose.
Let's say that the three of them came to Lixiangyuan and entered Aunt Xue's room to say hello to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue hugged Baoyu in her arms and said with a smile, "My son, it's hard for you to come here in such a cold day. Get on the kang and sit down, don’t get cold.”
Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu, who were left alone, looked at each other, and they were quite disapproving of Aunt Xue's behavior in their hearts.
Jia Baoyu didn't think there was anything wrong with Aunt Xue's attitude towards him, but happily said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister, please sit next to me, it's very cold outside, be careful not to get sick."
Before Sister Lin could speak, Aunt Xue immediately interjected: "Yes, Miss Lin and Brother Yu find a place to sit, don't be cold."
Sister Lin herself was unwilling to sit beside Jia Baoyu, and he was even less willing to sit there after Aunt Xue said this.So sister Lin followed Jia Yu and sat on a row of chairs next to the Kang.
Everyone sat and gossiped for a few words, and Jia Baoyu said why he came: "How is Sister Bao? I heard that my sister is ill, so I came here to see her."
Aunt Xue patted Baoyu's hand and said with a smile: "She's in the inner room, you go in, the room is also warm. This girl Lin and Brother Yu don't come here and walk around less, so why don't you talk to me a little more now? The three of us are also very close."
Jia Baoyu happily entered the room without mentioning it, but Lin Daiyu and Jia Yu outside were detained here for life.Although Lin Daiyu felt that Aunt Xue's attitude was a bit strange, but she was an elder anyway, so she was too embarrassed to disobey her, so let's just talk about it.
Only Jia Yu was like a mirror in his heart. It was a coincidence that he happened to come with Jia Baoyu, and it was time for a big show.It's a pity, being held here by Aunt Xue, I can't watch the live version. This drama of a happy marriage is not so easy to find.
When Jia Baoyu opened the curtain and entered the room, Xue Baochai was sewing with her maid Yinger. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand.
Jia Baoyu saw Xue Baochai sitting on the kang, neatly dressed, wearing a semi-new dress, with a simple bun, fair skin, black eyebrows, apricot-like eyes, pink face, flower petals Such lips, what a beauty.Not to mention the temperament of that suit, sitting there dignified and natural, generous and decent.
Xue Baochai was a little shy when Jia Baoyu looked at her, and Jia Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Is my sister feeling better? Why don't you go out for a walk these days?"
Xue Baochai replied: "This is an old problem, it's much better. Thank you for remembering." Then let Jia Baoyu sit on the edge of the kang, and the two gossiped.
Xue Baochai saw that Baoyu was wearing a purple gold crown inlaid with precious stones on his head, a golden belt decorated with two dragons grabbing beads on his forehead, wearing white fox fur with arrow sleeves on his body, a long life lock and a name talisman hanging around his neck. There is the piece of precious jade that was brought with me when I was born.
So he laughed and said, "I've always heard them talking about your precious jade. Today I have to take a look."
When Jia Baoyu heard that Xue Baochai wanted to see his psychic jade, he readily agreed, took off the jade worn around his neck, and handed it to Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai held it in his hand and looked carefully. The jade was about the size of a bird's egg, as bright as a sunset glow, very warm and moist, and surrounded by five-color patterns.The front of the jade is engraved with "Don't lose and never forget, immortal life and prosperity", and the back is engraved with "One eliminates evil spirits, two cures wronged diseases, and three knows misfortunes and blessings".
Baochai looked at the jade again and again, and read aloud the words engraved on the front twice, while Ying'er seemed to say unintentionally: "This seems to be the same as the two sentences on the girl's collar." A couple."
Jia Baoyu became excited when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "So there are words on my sister's collar, please let me see it."
Xue Baochai pretended not to care and said perfunctorily: "There are some words there, don't listen to Yinger."
At this time, Jia Baoyu had long been aroused and rubbed Baochai to see her collar.Xue Baochai reluctantly took out a necklace with a gold lock from his coat after Jia Baoyu begged twice.
He still said: "It's just two auspicious words given by others, and I think it's interesting to engrave them."
Jia Baoyu hurriedly took the golden lock, and saw eight seal characters engraved on it, four on one side: "never leave, never give up", "Fangling will last forever".
Jia Baoyu also held it in his hand and read it back and forth twice.Then she happily said to Xue Baochai: "Sister, these eight characters really match mine."
Ying'er was about to speak, but she heard a male voice from the door: "Who is the second brother pairing with?"
Jia Baoyu was taken aback when he heard the sound suddenly, and almost threw the collar in his hand.He turned around and saw Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu standing side by side, as if they had just opened the curtain to come in.
Xue Baochai hurriedly broke the embarrassment in the room: "Brother Yu is here, and sister Lin is also here, come and sit on the kang, and be careful."
Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu also entered the room and found a place to sit down.Ying'er served tea to the three of them, and she seemed to casually mention what she said just now: "The second master said just now that the characters on Miss Jinsuo and the characters on his precious jade are a pair. But the third master heard it as him It's really funny who you pair up with."
Jia Yu smirked inwardly, but continued to act cooperatively. "Oh? Is that so? I always knew that my brother's jade had words on it, but I didn't expect that sister Bao's gold lock also had words on it?"
Ying'er immediately snatched up: "Isn't that right? Those eight characters were given to Miss when she was a child by a monk with a scarlet head. He said that they must be engraved on gold jewelry..."
Before Ying'er could finish speaking, Baochai interrupted Ying'er and said angrily, "You girl, I asked you to pour a glass of water for Lin girl and the men. I see you are itchy."
Ying'er immediately said to Baochai with a smile, "Miss, my dear lady, please spare this servant."
Baochai immediately put on a haughty look, "Huh, why don't you hurry up and get those delicious snacks, and let me fix you if you get lazy again." After finishing speaking, she also burst out laughing.
"Sister Bao, you really know how to manage people, not like us who are clumsy and tongue-tied. This pair of servants is very gentle, even seeing this Yinger dare to joke with you." Lin Daiyu has long felt that after arriving at the Lixiangyuan today All kinds of unusual things, just now, a couple on the left, a monk on the right, a golden lock on the top, and Baoyu on the bottom, she can understand what the Xue family is up to.
Xue Baochai naturally understood the meaning of Lin Daiyu's words, smiled awkwardly, and took a sip from the teacup on the Kang table.Then she pretended not to care and said coquettishly: "Look at your sharp mouth, my sister. Even if I grow ten more, I can't tell you to go. You came to see my illness today. I beg my sister to hold your mouth high and let it go." How about a horse with me, sister?"
After hearing what Xue Baochai said, Lin Daiyu didn't say any more. After all, whatever the Xue family planned, it didn't hinder her, and she didn't want to mix with them.
Jia Yu sat on the side and talked with Jia Baoyu symbolically, and asked Lin Daiyu seemingly unintentionally: "I just remembered an interesting story, sister, when you were young, was there a monk who wanted to ferry you?"
When Lin Daiyu heard Jia Yu mentioning this, she secretly laughed in her heart, knowing that Jia Yu did not intend to let the Xue family go today.So he replied: "That's not true. When I was young, I was in poor health. No matter how much medicine I took, it didn't help. I started drinking medicinal juice when I was able to eat. That year when I was three years old, I heard that I had a scarlet head." The monk said that he wanted me to become a monk, but my parents refused. He also said: "Since I don't want to let him go, I'm afraid that his illness will never recover. If I want to recover, I will never see crying except from now on. Apart from parents, all relatives and friends with other surnames should not be seen, so that this life can be safe." Daiyu laughed as she spoke, as if she really just told a joke.
Xue Baochai's face turned a little bad when she heard this, Lin Daiyu said this when she first met the old lady.Although Ying'er was specially arranged to talk about the monk today, but now that Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu have picked her out like this, the meaning behind the words is not good.
So Xue Baochai put on a tired look, and when Yinger saw this, she quickly smoothed things over for Xue Baochai and sent the three of them out.
After coming out of Lixiangyuan, Jia Baoyu took a look at Jia Yu and parted ways with Yu Dai.Although he really wanted to have a few more words with Sister Lin, seeing how Sister Lin didn't want to see him made him feel a little sad.
Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu were walking together, and they happened to be going to pay their respects to the old lady, so they dropped by to send Daiyu back to her room.
On the way, Daiyu said to Jia Yu: "Thank you brother Yu, every time you help me, although I don't have the intention of harming others, but I can't bear these people always come to provoke me, I didn't block their way."
Jia Yu smiled and said to Daiyu: "Sister, you don't have to worry about the future. You have me as your backing. No one can bully you."
Daiyu smiled happily at Jia Yu, and the two walked to Jia's mother's courtyard without saying a word.
☆, untie the knot
Since that day, the rumor of a golden and jade marriage in Jia's mansion has gradually spread.Xue Baochai no longer stayed in the house all day, but also started to walk around.No matter what she did to dress up, the collar with the golden lock was always hanging brightly outside the clothes, which would dazzle other people's eyes if she was not careful.
Jia Yu looked at the scene in the mansion, he did his best for Xue Baochai, and he and Sister Lin also pointed out how many flaws there were in this happy marriage that day.After Baochai and Daiyu fought the ring with a few palace flowers and pearl hairpins that day, Jia Yu went to find Mrs. Wang in person.
Jia Yu still remembered that when he appeared in Mrs. Wang's yard that day, she saw Jia Yu and was stunned for a long time before she could react.At that time, Mrs. Wang's eyes were red when she looked at Jia Yu. Jia Yu pursed her lips and didn't say much, just helped Mrs. Wang's hand and entered the room.
Jia Yu now still remembers the trembling feeling when he supported Mrs. Wang's arm, which made his heart ache.Jia Yu clearly knew Mrs. Wang's intentions for him in the past few years, but he always had a grudge against her because when he was sick, Mrs. Wang did not fulfill her responsibility as a mother to him.
In fact, Jia Yu wronged Mrs. Wang a bit. When he was suffering from dementia, if Mrs. Wang ignored him, his life would definitely not be as easy as it was later.But if Mrs. Wang took good care of him, she might arouse jealousy, and at that time, it might bring disaster to his son who has no self-protection ability.
Jia Yu helped Mrs. Wang to the kang in the main room, arranged a pillow for her, helped her to sit on the kang with her own hands, and then sat beside Mrs. Wang.
Even after sitting down, Mrs. Wang didn't let go of Jia Yu's hand, she held it tightly, her eyes turned red again.Looking at the young man with red lips, white teeth and a jade-like face, tears flowed down his face.
"Mother, Yu'er came to see you, why did you start to cry first." Jia Yu looked at Mrs. Wang's tears and felt sad, feeling that the tears were falling on his heart one by one.
When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Yu calling her mother, she couldn't stop sobbing in a low voice.In the past few years since Jia Yu woke up, except when she just woke up and called her mother ignorantly, she has been calling her wife since then.Mrs. Wang also knew that Jia Yu had always treated her with a layer of separation, but when she heard the sound of mother, she knew that the child might have untied his knot and accepted her from the bottom of his heart, so how could she not be happy.
"Mother is happy, you are finally willing to call me mother." Mrs. Wang hugged Jia Yu into her arms and stroked her for a while.
Although Jia Yu was extremely embarrassed, he had to obey at this time. He knew that Mrs. Wang had been very sad because of his heart knot.After all, Zhen Yu is him, Jia Yu is also him, Zhen Yu's life was stolen by him, and Jia Yu's life is his life.Mrs. Wang is naturally also his own mother, but he has never been able to pass that hurdle.
"Yu'er came to mother's place at this hour, but what's the matter?" Mrs. Wang wiped her tears after being close to her son for a while, she could still see the embarrassment on Jia Yu's face.He is always in his teens, and he can no longer be treated like a child.
"Mother, there are only two of us in this room now. I have some things I want to say to my mother, but if I say something unpleasant, don't worry about it, mother." Jia Yu thought about it and decided to say it directly. .
"What do you want to say?" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Yu in surprise, she really didn't expect that Jia Yu would take the initiative to get close to her.
"Mother, what are your plans for Sister Lin?" Jia Yu stared into Mrs. Wang's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Your little sister of the Lin family is poor. Her mother left early, and now she is being fostered in our house. Naturally, I love her dearly."
After Aunt Xue returned home, she called Xue Baochai into her bedroom. The two of them sat on the kang, and Aunt Xue hugged Xue Baochai.
While crying, he said: "My poor son, now these short-sighted people have let you lose the election before seeing my son. This is their loss. My son looks like this, and so Talented, both ability and political integrity, but I don't want to let this screwdriver kill me. It's my incompetence as a mother, I can't do anything more for my son."
When Baochai heard from her mother that she had lost the election, and it seemed that there was still a reason for losing, she felt a thump in her heart, and tears fell uncontrollably.Later, when he heard his mother's self-blame, he couldn't help but feel sad, so he began to cry in his mother's arms.
After the two mothers cried for a while, Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's back comfortingly and said, "My son, do you think this is possible?" Then Aunt Xue pointed to where Mrs. Wang was.
Xue Baochai withdrew from Aunt Xue's arms and wiped her face with a handkerchief. When she saw her mother pointing to Mrs. Wang's residence, she knew she meant Jia Yuanchun, Jia's cousin who had entered the palace.
Xue Baochai thought for a while, then shook her head at Aunt Xue, and said, "I don't think so, my cousin will say something kind to me whenever she has a chance. If I enter the palace, I will definitely talk to my cousin. Standing aside, she will be even more powerful when the time comes, and she will definitely be in a better situation than she is now. Cousin was brought up under the knees of the old lady, and she is a person with both ability and integrity, so she will definitely not do such a short-sighted behavior. "
After listening to Xue Baochai's words, Aunt Xue also felt that there was some truth, and then she remembered the second-best thing, so she said to Xue Baochai: "My son, you are 13 years old now. How about just wanting to make a marriage for you? Your aunt has always wanted to get married with us, what do you think about this?"
Xue Baochai blushed when she heard this, brushed Aunt Xue with a handkerchief, then turned her head, so ashamed that she was too embarrassed to look at her mother again.
"What did mom say? How did you talk to me about it so well?"
Aunt Xue saw that her daughter was shy, so she hugged Xue Baochai into her arms and said, "My son, why don't you be embarrassed, if you want me to say that my son's appearance is worthy of all men in the world. Now there is another It's just the two of us, just let go and say, what do you think of Baoyu?"
When Xue Baochai heard that Aunt Xue mentioned Jia Baoyu, the blush on her face faded a little. She thought that it was him that her aunt and mother mentioned, but she didn't expect it to be him.
Xue Baochai straightened up and said to Aunt Xue, "Baoyu? Why him?"
Aunt Xue said in surprise: "It's not who Baoyu is. Baoyu is the phoenix egg of Jia's mansion. She was born with jade in her mouth, and she must have a great fortune in the future. If you don't marry her, is it possible that you want to marry Jia Yu? Baoyu is better than Jia Yu." Jia Yu is old, and Baoyu will inherit the family business in the future, so Jia Yu is unlucky."
Xue Baochai felt uncomfortable when Aunt Xue said this about Jia Yu. She frowned slightly and said to Aunt Xue: "Mom, don't say that about Jia Yu. I think Jia Yu will be promising in the future, and Baoyu is just one of them." A stone that is not useful. Look at him, he is only 11 years old, and he is with Xiren..." Xue Baochai was embarrassed to continue. After all, she is a young girl who has not left the court. It's too embarrassing to say those rough words I heard from my mother-in-law.
When Aunt Xue heard Xue Baochai mention the absurdity of Baoyu and Xiren, she also felt unhappy for a while, and frowned: "My son, why worry about this, in the future, you will only be an aunt who was born as a maid, and you can do it again." Where can Bounce go. With your means, you still can't handle her as a beauty? As long as you don't let her give birth to the eldest son before you, even if she is favored again, so what? With my son's appearance, are you afraid that you won't be able to hold Baoyu's heart?"
After hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai was still in a state of disbelief about Jia Baoyu and Xiren.Besides, she herself has a good impression of Jia Yu. Comparing Jia Yu and Jia Baoyu together, anyone with a discerning eye can tell who is the good one and who is the bad one.
It's just that she didn't understand whether it was her aunt's intention or her mother's intention to look down on Jia Yu.If it's what my aunt means, does she value herself or despise herself?
After much deliberation, Xue Baochai still decided to ask clearly: "Mom, was this matter brought up by my aunt? What did she say about Baoyu and Brother Yu?"
Aunt Xue patted Xue Baochai's hand, and said with a smile: "It's not your aunt. Since the old lady brought Lin girl from Yangzhou, she just wanted to let her granddaughter marry her grandson. At that time, Jia Yu was still a fool. The old lady must be thinking about Baoyu. Your aunt was anxious all of a sudden. That girl Lin looked mean and short-lived, how could she promise Baoyu. She always wanted us to come to Beijing. Is this not a family matter? Since I can't get away from you and I always hoped that you could enter the palace, I have never agreed to this matter. Now, since you can't enter the palace, it is the best choice for you to marry Baoyu."
As soon as Xue Baochai heard it, she understood that Jia Yu might be underestimated by her aunt, but in the final analysis she still valued herself.Although she herself is more optimistic about Jia Yu, her parents' orders cannot be violated, so she followed her mother's arrangements, so she agreed shyly.
Aunt Xue was very happy when she saw Xue Baochai's answer. She kept patting Xue Baochai's hand excitedly, and then talked about the plan she had discussed with Mrs. Wang.
"My son, you also know that your aunt is in this mansion, and there is an old lady above her. She is not free as a daughter-in-law. None of the few children born here are raised under her knees. Now this Although she is interested in you in the marriage, she can't make the decision. Now we are discussing that this jade was born with jade in his mouth, and this psychic jade is a treasure. We thought, why not say that you have a golden lock since childhood, Isn't this precious jade paired with a golden lock to achieve this golden and jade marriage, isn't it a beautiful thing?"
After hearing Aunt Xue's words, Xue Baochai disapproved in her heart, but since her mother and aunt had bothered to arrange for her, she had no choice but to obey.After all, she still has a rival, Lin Daiyu, the girl who caught her heart at first sight.
Although Lin Daiyu is three years younger than her, her overall style is not weaker than hers at all. If there is anyone in Jia's mansion who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her, then Lin Daiyu is the best candidate.
But Xue Baochai thought again: "Mom, why bother to make such a cumbersome thing, I see that girl Lin doesn't care about Baoyu, even if the husband is affectionate, the concubine has no intention of it."
Aunt Xue looked at Baochai with a smile and said: "My son, this is why you don't understand. They were childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Even if they don't show it on the surface, who knows what is in their hearts?" Thinking about it, you must know that people’s hearts are far from your belly. You should follow the method I discussed with your aunt to ensure that you can marry a good man in the end."
Xue Baochai smiled shyly at Aunt Xue and said, "Then do as mother said."
☆, Chai Dai confrontation
This day, Zhou Rui's family saw off Grandma Liu, and came to Mrs. Wang to answer, and was told that Mrs. Wang had gone to Aunt Xue's place to talk about family affairs.
So Zhou Rui's family went to Pear Fragrance Garden again, and when they came to Pear Fragrance Garden, they saw Jin Chuan'er playing with a little girl. It's talking inside.
Zhou Rui's family raised the curtain and came in. They saw Mrs. Wang chatting with Aunt Xue, so they were not disturbed. When they went inside, they saw Xue Baochai wearing homely clothes and a simple bun, lying on the kang table with her maid Yinger. It's drawing flowers.
Seeing Zhou Rui's family come in, Baochai hurriedly put down her pen and said, "Sister Zhou is here, sit down quickly."
Zhou Rui's family hurriedly replied: "How is the girl? Why haven't you seen me for two or three days?"
Baochai concealed her anger and said, "I've made another mistake. I don't feel very comfortable, so I didn't go out for a walk."
Zhou Rui's family asked again: "What is the disease and what medicine do you take?"
Baochai thought for a while and said: "Don't talk about taking medicine or anything, my panacea is not easy to work. It was a bald monk who came to teach a prescription from the sea that year, called Lengxiang Wan. Afterwards, take a pill and you will be fine." So Baochai told Zhou Rui's family in detail how to make Lengxiang pills, and Zhou Rui's family was amazed.
While talking, I heard Mrs. Wang asking: "Who is in the room?"
When Zhou Rui's family heard this, they quickly stopped talking and went out, and replied: "Madam, it's me." Then they returned the matter of Grandma Liu, and saw that Mrs. Wang had no other orders to leave.
Aunt Xue stopped Zhou Rui's family, opened a jewelry box casually, and said to Zhou Rui's family: "This is a new style in the palace, with twelve flowers from the gauze pile. I remembered yesterday, it's a pity to leave it for nothing." Why don't you wear them to their sisters. I was going to send them yesterday, but I forgot. You came today by coincidence, so you can take them with you. The three girls in your family each have a pair, and the remaining six , give Miss Lin two, and give the other four to Brother Feng."
Mrs. Wang said: "Save it for Bao girl to wear, and think about what they do."
Aunt Xue said: "Madam, you don't know, Bao girl is weird, she never loves these flower fans."
So Zhou Rui's family took the jewelry box and went to Wang Xifeng's yard first, and when they arrived at Sister Feng's yard, they asked the woman outside: "Second Grandma, is she up for her afternoon nap?"
The mother-in-law shook her head. At this time, Zhou Rui's family heard Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's playfulness in the room, and after a while Ping'er came out with a basin to pour water.
Zhou Rui's family hurried forward to tell the story, opened the box, and asked Ping'er to pick out four palace flowers.Ping'er took the palace flowers into the house, and after a while took two out of them, called Caiming, and sent them to Grandma Xiao Rong in the East Mansion.
Zhou Rui's family sent palace flowers to Sister Feng, and went to Jiamu's yard. Because Baoyu and Jia Yu didn't live with Jiamu, Sanchun and Daiyu stayed with Jiamu in the end. Moved to live in the three small buildings behind Mrs. Wang's main house.
Zhou Rui's family came to the warm pavilion behind Jiamu's main room, where the four girls were all playing.So I opened the box and asked the girls to choose by themselves. The girls picked out the ones they liked, and the maid put them away, and thanked Zhou Rui's family.
Zhou Rui's family left after completing the task. Jia Yu heard the little girl Dong'er said these things in the room, and then remembered that Baochai had indeed gone out like this not long after entering the mansion.But what is different from now is that it was the last one sent to Sister Lin, and the remaining two were selected by others.
No matter it is in the book or now, after Sister Lin enters Jia's mansion, no matter food and clothing or anything, she is the first one. Even Jia's mother's granddaughters have to be in the back row, and Zhou Rui's family will dare to fall. All of them, and the last one was given to Sister Lin, which shows that Mrs. Wang's handwriting is indispensable behind this.
Now it's just because of Jia Yu's relationship that the girls' residences have changed, and today it's a coincidence that everyone is playing together again.If this is all in everyone's room, I'm afraid it will go the same way as in the book.It seems that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang have teamed up, and now this is a blow to Daiyu, and a golden marriage will come soon...
Jia Yu thought about it, and smiled playfully, is life really too peaceful?He still likes a little challenging day.Thinking of Mrs. Wang's intervention, Jia Yu frowned.
Jia Yu sent Dong'er away with a wave, and said to the air, "Go to Jianbaozhai and bring me a box of top-quality pearl hairpins."
Speaking of Jianbaozhai, it was Jia Yu's property in the first place. Under Biyin's management, grandmas and wives of rich families were proud to get a piece of jewelry from Jianbaozhai.Even the concubines and princesses in the palace appreciate them very much, and they often wear the few pieces they get.
What is the secret to the operation of Jianbaozhai?One is expensive, very expensive, only the nobles can afford it.The second is fine, very delicate, and the workmanship of each piece of jewelry is extremely exquisite and meticulously crafted.The third is rarity. There are only a few pieces of each kind of jewelry, and they will be gone when they are sold out. For top-level jewelry, there is only one piece of each kind. When it is gone, it is gone.In order to avoid troubles, the molds of these top jewelry can be made and destroyed without any trouble.
Now Jia Yu's move is a box of top-quality pearl hairpins, but it is definitely priceless and expensive.
After a few quarters of an hour, an exquisitely crafted red sandalwood makeup coffin box, hollowed out, carved and inlaid with precious stones, was placed on Jia Yu's desk.Jia Yu wrote a few words on the paper with a pen, put the note into the box, and let Ye Yi deliver it to Lin Daiyu's room.
When Lin Daiyu returned to her room from Yingchun's room, she felt aggrieved.It's not that I didn't notice Aunt Xue's fight today. If I was in my room at that time, then the last two remaining ones would definitely be my own.Although I was a cousin in Jia's mansion, it was never my turn to be insulted by Xue's family.
So, after playing for a while, Daiyu felt out of the mood, and went back to her room to lie on the couch and read a book.As soon as she entered the bedroom, Daiyu saw an extremely delicate jewelry box on her dressing table, which looked very expensive at first sight.
Lin Daiyu opened the box suspiciously, and saw a box of pearl hairpins inside, each of which was very exquisite, and at a glance, she knew it was the work of the famous Jianbaozhai in the capital.Lin Daiyu saw the note on the pearl hairpin, picked it up and opened it, and there was only two words on it: "for personal use."
As soon as Daiyu saw the handwriting, she knew it belonged to Jia Yu. These years, Jia Yu studied with Jia Yucun, and Daiyu often went to listen to her husband's lectures.Therefore, they are very familiar with each other's handwriting, and besides, Jia Yu didn't deliberately conceal it, so Daiyu can naturally find out who's handwriting it is.
Holding the note and thinking for a while, Daiyu understood Jia Yu's meaning, covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, which was really a slap in the face.Daiyu understands that Jia Yu is afraid that she will be wronged, and this is to find her a place, hehe, this brother Yu has not changed for many years, and he always protects his shortcomings like this.
After years of getting along, there is a tacit understanding between Daiyu and Jia Yu.Because of Jia Yu's relationship, Daiyu embarked on the path of cultivation, and the two became closer because they shared a common secret, but Daiyu knew very well that Jia Yu treated her like a brother and sister.
Daiyu always understood that the old lady hoped that she could choose between Jia Baoyu and Jia Yu, but unfortunately she didn't like Jia Baoyu, and brother Yu had always been her respected brother.Besides, when she embarked on the journey of cultivating immortals, she was naturally no longer the same as ordinary people. Even her long life prevented her from finding someone to marry at will.
Daiyu picked out eight pearl hairpins from the jewelry box, put them in another box, then called the red thread, and ordered: "You give two of the pearl hairpins here to Sister Feng, and Xiaorong from Dongfu Two for grandma, one for each of the three girls in our family, and the last one for Miss Bao. If anyone asks how it came here, just say it was brought in by the Lin family."
The red thread is the maid that Jia Yu picked out to give to Lin Daiyu back then. This maid has cared about Jia Yu since she was still suffering from dementia.Later, Jia Yu woke up and inspected it carefully, and then when Sister Lin came, she replaced the parrot, who later became Zicuckoo.
Of course Hongxian could understand Lin Daiyu's meaning, not to mention Miss Lin also understood what she said, so he wrote it down one by one and delivered it as ordered.
When the red thread delivered the last pearl hairpin to Xue Baochai of Lixiangyuan, Baochai's expression was extremely ugly, she reluctantly thanked the red thread, and went into the house under the pretext of feeling uncomfortable.
Aunt Xue outside looked at the exquisite pearl hairpin and knew that she was being slapped in the face. Although the palace flower she was holding was made by the imperial court, it was just for wearing and playing.The pearl hairpins sent by Lin Daiyu are top-notch at first glance, and the ladies in the palace don't have many of them. This time, there are eight of them. It is really generous and rich to the extreme, and this mouth is also impressive. Hit loudly to the extreme.
Mrs. Wang had just returned to her main room when she heard about this and she was so angry that she dropped her teacup.This girl from the Lin family, just like her short-lived mother, was born to restrain her.She and Aunt Xue came up with such a trick, which can be good to the girls and daughters-in-law at home, and embarrass Lin girl.
In the end, it took so much effort to slap her with such a loud slap. At this moment, Bao girl still doesn't know how to feel wronged.
Then Mrs. Wang thought about the silver money to buy these pearl hairpins, a bright light flashed in her eyes, this little girl has a lot of money in her hands.Was it given by the old lady?Or was it given by the Lin family?The ancestor of the Lin family was listed as a Marquis, and he was also a noble family. The family background is really solid, and the position of old uncle Lin in Yangzhou is really a fat vacancy.
When Jia Yu received the news and saw Lin Daiyu's actions, she smiled with satisfaction.Then thinking of Mrs. Wang, Jia Yu paused and walked towards Mrs. Wang's yard...
☆、Jin Yu Liang Yuan
Baochai and Daiyu's arena can only be understood by those with discerning eyes. Children like Xichun are only rare for the exquisite and luxurious pearl hairpins, and they are thinking, why everyone has so much money, you send a palace flower, I sent a pearl hairpin, which is really beneficial.
As a result of the confrontation between Chai and Dai, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were so angry that they couldn't eat, dropped several teacups, and tore many handkerchiefs.When Mother Jia heard about this, she narrowed her eyes with a smile. She was afraid that if Daiyu was raised into a kitten, she wouldn't know how to fight back if someone bullied her. Now she felt more at ease.
Although she didn't know how Lin Yatou's top bead flowers came from, she knew that Lin Yatou had noble people to help her, and the child's health was getting better and better, so how could she not know.
Because of this, Jia Yu admired Daiyu a little more, but he didn't dislike Baochai himself, it was just because Baochai was now on the opposite side of Daiyu.If one day Baochai doesn't aim at Daiyu, it doesn't matter if he helps her, she is a beautiful girl.
Jia Baoyu didn't feel the weird atmosphere in the mansion. He knew from Zhou Rui's house that Baochai hadn't left the house for a few days because of an old illness.
So he came back from Jia Mu's Courtyard that day and went to Lixiang Courtyard on the way, intending to see Xue Baochai.On the way, it happened that Lin Daiyu and Jia Yu were also going to see Xue Baochai together, so the three of them left together.
On the way, Jia Baoyu kept getting close to Lin Daiyu, and sister Lin hid without a trace.In the end, it was Jia Yu who couldn't see it anymore, and grabbed Jia Baoyu to change the topic.
Originally, Jia Baoyu was not very happy to see the two of them coming together, but now he found that the relationship between Jia Yu and Daiyu was closer than his own, and he was even more unhappy.Then he found that Jia Yu was always taking care of Daiyu, and he felt wronged.
Jia Yu and Daiyu didn't care what Jia Baoyu was thinking, they just said a few words occasionally. They actually met Xue Baochai together on the road, and they didn't make an appointment to be together on purpose.
Let's say that the three of them came to Lixiangyuan and entered Aunt Xue's room to say hello to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue hugged Baoyu in her arms and said with a smile, "My son, it's hard for you to come here in such a cold day. Get on the kang and sit down, don’t get cold.”
Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu, who were left alone, looked at each other, and they were quite disapproving of Aunt Xue's behavior in their hearts.
Jia Baoyu didn't think there was anything wrong with Aunt Xue's attitude towards him, but happily said to Lin Daiyu: "Sister, please sit next to me, it's very cold outside, be careful not to get sick."
Before Sister Lin could speak, Aunt Xue immediately interjected: "Yes, Miss Lin and Brother Yu find a place to sit, don't be cold."
Sister Lin herself was unwilling to sit beside Jia Baoyu, and he was even less willing to sit there after Aunt Xue said this.So sister Lin followed Jia Yu and sat on a row of chairs next to the Kang.
Everyone sat and gossiped for a few words, and Jia Baoyu said why he came: "How is Sister Bao? I heard that my sister is ill, so I came here to see her."
Aunt Xue patted Baoyu's hand and said with a smile: "She's in the inner room, you go in, the room is also warm. This girl Lin and Brother Yu don't come here and walk around less, so why don't you talk to me a little more now? The three of us are also very close."
Jia Baoyu happily entered the room without mentioning it, but Lin Daiyu and Jia Yu outside were detained here for life.Although Lin Daiyu felt that Aunt Xue's attitude was a bit strange, but she was an elder anyway, so she was too embarrassed to disobey her, so let's just talk about it.
Only Jia Yu was like a mirror in his heart. It was a coincidence that he happened to come with Jia Baoyu, and it was time for a big show.It's a pity, being held here by Aunt Xue, I can't watch the live version. This drama of a happy marriage is not so easy to find.
When Jia Baoyu opened the curtain and entered the room, Xue Baochai was sewing with her maid Yinger. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly put down the needle and thread in her hand.
Jia Baoyu saw Xue Baochai sitting on the kang, neatly dressed, wearing a semi-new dress, with a simple bun, fair skin, black eyebrows, apricot-like eyes, pink face, flower petals Such lips, what a beauty.Not to mention the temperament of that suit, sitting there dignified and natural, generous and decent.
Xue Baochai was a little shy when Jia Baoyu looked at her, and Jia Baoyu hurriedly asked, "Is my sister feeling better? Why don't you go out for a walk these days?"
Xue Baochai replied: "This is an old problem, it's much better. Thank you for remembering." Then let Jia Baoyu sit on the edge of the kang, and the two gossiped.
Xue Baochai saw that Baoyu was wearing a purple gold crown inlaid with precious stones on his head, a golden belt decorated with two dragons grabbing beads on his forehead, wearing white fox fur with arrow sleeves on his body, a long life lock and a name talisman hanging around his neck. There is the piece of precious jade that was brought with me when I was born.
So he laughed and said, "I've always heard them talking about your precious jade. Today I have to take a look."
When Jia Baoyu heard that Xue Baochai wanted to see his psychic jade, he readily agreed, took off the jade worn around his neck, and handed it to Xue Baochai.
Xue Baochai held it in his hand and looked carefully. The jade was about the size of a bird's egg, as bright as a sunset glow, very warm and moist, and surrounded by five-color patterns.The front of the jade is engraved with "Don't lose and never forget, immortal life and prosperity", and the back is engraved with "One eliminates evil spirits, two cures wronged diseases, and three knows misfortunes and blessings".
Baochai looked at the jade again and again, and read aloud the words engraved on the front twice, while Ying'er seemed to say unintentionally: "This seems to be the same as the two sentences on the girl's collar." A couple."
Jia Baoyu became excited when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "So there are words on my sister's collar, please let me see it."
Xue Baochai pretended not to care and said perfunctorily: "There are some words there, don't listen to Yinger."
At this time, Jia Baoyu had long been aroused and rubbed Baochai to see her collar.Xue Baochai reluctantly took out a necklace with a gold lock from his coat after Jia Baoyu begged twice.
He still said: "It's just two auspicious words given by others, and I think it's interesting to engrave them."
Jia Baoyu hurriedly took the golden lock, and saw eight seal characters engraved on it, four on one side: "never leave, never give up", "Fangling will last forever".
Jia Baoyu also held it in his hand and read it back and forth twice.Then she happily said to Xue Baochai: "Sister, these eight characters really match mine."
Ying'er was about to speak, but she heard a male voice from the door: "Who is the second brother pairing with?"
Jia Baoyu was taken aback when he heard the sound suddenly, and almost threw the collar in his hand.He turned around and saw Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu standing side by side, as if they had just opened the curtain to come in.
Xue Baochai hurriedly broke the embarrassment in the room: "Brother Yu is here, and sister Lin is also here, come and sit on the kang, and be careful."
Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu also entered the room and found a place to sit down.Ying'er served tea to the three of them, and she seemed to casually mention what she said just now: "The second master said just now that the characters on Miss Jinsuo and the characters on his precious jade are a pair. But the third master heard it as him It's really funny who you pair up with."
Jia Yu smirked inwardly, but continued to act cooperatively. "Oh? Is that so? I always knew that my brother's jade had words on it, but I didn't expect that sister Bao's gold lock also had words on it?"
Ying'er immediately snatched up: "Isn't that right? Those eight characters were given to Miss when she was a child by a monk with a scarlet head. He said that they must be engraved on gold jewelry..."
Before Ying'er could finish speaking, Baochai interrupted Ying'er and said angrily, "You girl, I asked you to pour a glass of water for Lin girl and the men. I see you are itchy."
Ying'er immediately said to Baochai with a smile, "Miss, my dear lady, please spare this servant."
Baochai immediately put on a haughty look, "Huh, why don't you hurry up and get those delicious snacks, and let me fix you if you get lazy again." After finishing speaking, she also burst out laughing.
"Sister Bao, you really know how to manage people, not like us who are clumsy and tongue-tied. This pair of servants is very gentle, even seeing this Yinger dare to joke with you." Lin Daiyu has long felt that after arriving at the Lixiangyuan today All kinds of unusual things, just now, a couple on the left, a monk on the right, a golden lock on the top, and Baoyu on the bottom, she can understand what the Xue family is up to.
Xue Baochai naturally understood the meaning of Lin Daiyu's words, smiled awkwardly, and took a sip from the teacup on the Kang table.Then she pretended not to care and said coquettishly: "Look at your sharp mouth, my sister. Even if I grow ten more, I can't tell you to go. You came to see my illness today. I beg my sister to hold your mouth high and let it go." How about a horse with me, sister?"
After hearing what Xue Baochai said, Lin Daiyu didn't say any more. After all, whatever the Xue family planned, it didn't hinder her, and she didn't want to mix with them.
Jia Yu sat on the side and talked with Jia Baoyu symbolically, and asked Lin Daiyu seemingly unintentionally: "I just remembered an interesting story, sister, when you were young, was there a monk who wanted to ferry you?"
When Lin Daiyu heard Jia Yu mentioning this, she secretly laughed in her heart, knowing that Jia Yu did not intend to let the Xue family go today.So he replied: "That's not true. When I was young, I was in poor health. No matter how much medicine I took, it didn't help. I started drinking medicinal juice when I was able to eat. That year when I was three years old, I heard that I had a scarlet head." The monk said that he wanted me to become a monk, but my parents refused. He also said: "Since I don't want to let him go, I'm afraid that his illness will never recover. If I want to recover, I will never see crying except from now on. Apart from parents, all relatives and friends with other surnames should not be seen, so that this life can be safe." Daiyu laughed as she spoke, as if she really just told a joke.
Xue Baochai's face turned a little bad when she heard this, Lin Daiyu said this when she first met the old lady.Although Ying'er was specially arranged to talk about the monk today, but now that Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu have picked her out like this, the meaning behind the words is not good.
So Xue Baochai put on a tired look, and when Yinger saw this, she quickly smoothed things over for Xue Baochai and sent the three of them out.
After coming out of Lixiangyuan, Jia Baoyu took a look at Jia Yu and parted ways with Yu Dai.Although he really wanted to have a few more words with Sister Lin, seeing how Sister Lin didn't want to see him made him feel a little sad.
Jia Yu and Lin Daiyu were walking together, and they happened to be going to pay their respects to the old lady, so they dropped by to send Daiyu back to her room.
On the way, Daiyu said to Jia Yu: "Thank you brother Yu, every time you help me, although I don't have the intention of harming others, but I can't bear these people always come to provoke me, I didn't block their way."
Jia Yu smiled and said to Daiyu: "Sister, you don't have to worry about the future. You have me as your backing. No one can bully you."
Daiyu smiled happily at Jia Yu, and the two walked to Jia's mother's courtyard without saying a word.
☆, untie the knot
Since that day, the rumor of a golden and jade marriage in Jia's mansion has gradually spread.Xue Baochai no longer stayed in the house all day, but also started to walk around.No matter what she did to dress up, the collar with the golden lock was always hanging brightly outside the clothes, which would dazzle other people's eyes if she was not careful.
Jia Yu looked at the scene in the mansion, he did his best for Xue Baochai, and he and Sister Lin also pointed out how many flaws there were in this happy marriage that day.After Baochai and Daiyu fought the ring with a few palace flowers and pearl hairpins that day, Jia Yu went to find Mrs. Wang in person.
Jia Yu still remembered that when he appeared in Mrs. Wang's yard that day, she saw Jia Yu and was stunned for a long time before she could react.At that time, Mrs. Wang's eyes were red when she looked at Jia Yu. Jia Yu pursed her lips and didn't say much, just helped Mrs. Wang's hand and entered the room.
Jia Yu now still remembers the trembling feeling when he supported Mrs. Wang's arm, which made his heart ache.Jia Yu clearly knew Mrs. Wang's intentions for him in the past few years, but he always had a grudge against her because when he was sick, Mrs. Wang did not fulfill her responsibility as a mother to him.
In fact, Jia Yu wronged Mrs. Wang a bit. When he was suffering from dementia, if Mrs. Wang ignored him, his life would definitely not be as easy as it was later.But if Mrs. Wang took good care of him, she might arouse jealousy, and at that time, it might bring disaster to his son who has no self-protection ability.
Jia Yu helped Mrs. Wang to the kang in the main room, arranged a pillow for her, helped her to sit on the kang with her own hands, and then sat beside Mrs. Wang.
Even after sitting down, Mrs. Wang didn't let go of Jia Yu's hand, she held it tightly, her eyes turned red again.Looking at the young man with red lips, white teeth and a jade-like face, tears flowed down his face.
"Mother, Yu'er came to see you, why did you start to cry first." Jia Yu looked at Mrs. Wang's tears and felt sad, feeling that the tears were falling on his heart one by one.
When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Yu calling her mother, she couldn't stop sobbing in a low voice.In the past few years since Jia Yu woke up, except when she just woke up and called her mother ignorantly, she has been calling her wife since then.Mrs. Wang also knew that Jia Yu had always treated her with a layer of separation, but when she heard the sound of mother, she knew that the child might have untied his knot and accepted her from the bottom of his heart, so how could she not be happy.
"Mother is happy, you are finally willing to call me mother." Mrs. Wang hugged Jia Yu into her arms and stroked her for a while.
Although Jia Yu was extremely embarrassed, he had to obey at this time. He knew that Mrs. Wang had been very sad because of his heart knot.After all, Zhen Yu is him, Jia Yu is also him, Zhen Yu's life was stolen by him, and Jia Yu's life is his life.Mrs. Wang is naturally also his own mother, but he has never been able to pass that hurdle.
"Yu'er came to mother's place at this hour, but what's the matter?" Mrs. Wang wiped her tears after being close to her son for a while, she could still see the embarrassment on Jia Yu's face.He is always in his teens, and he can no longer be treated like a child.
"Mother, there are only two of us in this room now. I have some things I want to say to my mother, but if I say something unpleasant, don't worry about it, mother." Jia Yu thought about it and decided to say it directly. .
"What do you want to say?" Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Yu in surprise, she really didn't expect that Jia Yu would take the initiative to get close to her.
"Mother, what are your plans for Sister Lin?" Jia Yu stared into Mrs. Wang's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Your little sister of the Lin family is poor. Her mother left early, and now she is being fostered in our house. Naturally, I love her dearly."
