The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

When Baoyu returned home, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, angry and anxious, but Rong Jia took his lifeline and told him not to even complain.After entering the Yihong Courtyard, he didn't even go to invite An, and the attacker called him, but he ignored him, just went to bed, and went to sleep with red eye circles.Xiren had no choice but to persuade him to take off his outer clothes and turn to look for Mingyan.

Mingyan was also unlucky. Baoyu went out in the morning, but he didn't say he was looking for Rong Jia. Even when he was outside the Ministry of Rites, he thought that Second Master Bao was only committing some dementia because of the second girl's affairs——Baoyu always treated his sisters and sisters anyway. A bit meddlesome, two days ago I was still muttering at the old lady about why the second sister wanted to get married, and how nice it is to stay at home all the time.Who knew that this Second Master Bao was demented not because of Er Mutou, but because of Miss Lin!

Mingyan also couldn't figure it out, Miss Lin has only lived at home for two years, why bother to make the second master so obsessed?That Second Master Rong is not a vegetarian master, the first time he came home, he made the old lady speechless, causing Second Master Bao to suffer such a big loss, and almost ruined the reputation of several girls in the family. A foreigner whispered in his ear about his fiancée, not to mention that he would misunderstand, even if he didn't misunderstand, he wouldn't give Bao Erye a good look.If I really misunderstood, I am afraid that Miss Lin will be involved.

But Mingyan wanted to go home, and if someone really came up, he had to be stopped by Second Master Bao, otherwise tomorrow, his whole family would have to pack up and be beaten out.He didn't dare to call the doctor when he got home, for fear of being asked where the injury came from, so he had to ask Sao Hong to give him some medicine for sores in his own room.

Fortunately, even though Rong Jia was very angry, he didn't intend to fight or kill him. He went home by himself, but the pain didn't get worse. Knowing that there was no internal injury, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiren came in, saw his appearance, and blushed at first, but when he saw the injuries on his body, he was shocked: "What did you do? Second Master"

"Second Master is fine." Ming Yan hurriedly said, "Grandma, you can keep your voice down, if Master finds out, Second Master will suffer a lot."

Xiren took a long breath: "How did this happen?"

Sao Hong murmured, "Second Master has provoked someone surnamed Rong."

Rong Jia is very famous in Beijing.Partly because of his luck, when he went to Beijing at the age of 12, he was admitted to Jinshi. The emperor and the emperor together asked him more than a dozen questions. , and now he has become a son-in-law again, and the other half is due to his boldness in pulling down the Shandong general soldier at a young age.However, for the people in the Rongguo Mansion, Rong Jia is not a good person, and he doesn't know how to give the master a little bit of face. I haven't seen such an ignorant person for many years. Fortunately, he still has fame, so it's okay. Everyone came out.

Xiren stomped his feet: "That's fine, why did you think of provoking that ancestor—" There was a flash in his mind, but he muttered silently, it didn't seem like it was for the second girl, otherwise it wouldn't have caused such a trouble, could it be because of thinking about it, and then again Angry and funny: "You can't do this, I'll find you a doctor, you just say you fell, and the doctor doesn't dare to talk nonsense."

Mingyan is naturally grateful.

Xiren arrived at the second gate, found a woman, and asked her to find a doctor for Mingyan, and then hurried back to Yihong Courtyard.Baoyu really couldn't sleep this time, and she couldn't bear to disturb him, so she tucked the quilt for him, and sat outside to do needlework, but she saw Sheyue sitting on the bed with a look of surprise on her face, and she couldn't even thread a thread. go in.

"What's wrong?" Xiren asked.

Musk Moon was startled, and then forced a smile and said, "What can it be?" She put the needle and thread on the bank and almost fell on the bed. Xiren quickly helped her insert the ball of thread and threw it into the bag: "Also said It's okay, it's okay, are you like this?"

"I just thought of Qingwen." Sheyue said with a wry smile, and Xiren said strangely: "It's so good, why do you think of her?" Seeing that Muskyue's face was strange, she also found that what she said was not right, so she had to say again, "That's not what I meant. It's just that I haven't mentioned it for a few days, not even the second master. Why do you think of her?"

She Yue wondered: "Why doesn't the second master remember, he never forgets."

Xiren's face turned pale: "Is that so?" After a while, he smiled wryly in his heart, isn't Baoyu like this, he loves everyone, even seeing a beautiful little opera singer in the theater, he will never forget it when he comes back, let alone Qingwen, who has served him for a while, and Daiyu, who has been a childhood sweetheart for several years.It is really difficult for him to forget.

However, it is rare to have to be the second grandmother of Bao in the future.

The two of them looked at each other in silence, sat and did their work for a while, only to see Yu Chuan enter the house from outside with a frown: "What's the matter with your yard, I came in from the outside, and there was no woman or girl. Just you two?"

Sheyue said: "It's cold, with the two of us watching Baoyu, what can we do? Let them play."

Yuchuan sat down and said, "Baoyu is back? Is that all right? What are you doing? Madam doesn't see him and asks you well. I'm afraid something will happen to him. Let me come and have a look."

Just as Musk Moon was about to speak, Xiren gave her a hand and said, "Baoyu is asleep. I went crazy outside today and seems to be tired." Musk Moon also said, "When I came back, I drank a cup of tea. I just went to sleep, and I haven’t woken up yet, since my wife is looking for him, should I wake him up?”

Yu Chuan frowned: "Why are you sleeping now? I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well at night." Then she hurriedly stopped Musk Moon, "My wife just asked me to come and see. I didn't call him. Since I fell asleep It’s okay, it’s not noisy, what are you doing?” After finishing speaking, he looked at the work Xiren and Sheyue were doing, but he was a little surprised.

Musk Moon saw that the stitches were all messed up, and even missed Hanako, and when she looked again, the attack was far less bright and delicate than the previous work. She knew that the two of them had no thoughts just now, so she put her hand on it. Throwing half of the soles of the shoes into the basket, he said: "Second girl's wedding is coming soon. She can marry for the New Year - the Rong family is not afraid of trouble, our family has to be busy all winter for the New Year, but they have free manpower to keep up with it." The marriage is done together." This is actually not true, Rong Xi is a continuation, and he and Yuan Pei are deeply in love, this marriage was not planned to be a big deal, that is to say, Jia Amnesty didn't care about it, and didn't really take Yingchun, his daughter, to heart Come on, otherwise, seeing their family in such a hurry, I might feel so sad!

However, when Jia She married Mrs. Xing, it was just a simple affair, and Yingchun was a concubine who was not favored. This is a marriage." Jia's mother didn't look like it, but the family was divided, and he was Yingchun's father, so she couldn't say much.

Apart from the fact that the marriage of Yingchun was bound to be wronged, Mother Jia still had something else on her mind—it had been more than half a month since Sister Feng went back to her mother's house, and it seemed that she planned to celebrate the New Year at Wang's house!

She never felt that it was a big mistake for her grandchildren to take care of children outside. She had heard of Sister Feng's reputation of jealousy before, but Sister Feng gave Jia Lian Ping'er for her good face. That's all.This time, she didn't think it was a big deal about Second Sister You at first, but she just blamed Jia Lian Xiaolina, but when she heard that Second Sister You was actually married, she got angry and called Jia Lian over and said, "You Same as your old man! Don't you want to buy a few girls who are not troublesome? That's all you need?"

Jia Lian said: "The old ancestor didn't know something. She also came from a hard life. The Zhang family thought she had no father. Who knew that now she was greedy for the relationship with Mrs. Zhen's sister-in-law and came to blackmail me? Her pure body followed me. I can't let her down, I still have to look at Sister-in-law Zhen."

"You still dare to mention Zhen'er's family to me? I haven't mentioned her yet!" Mother Jia said, "If nothing else, what about your wife? Do you really want Sister Qiao and Brother Wei to celebrate the New Year at Wang's house? Let's The family can’t afford to lose face! Let me tell you, what kind of woman do you want? I sent that person away. If the money is not enough, I will give it to you. You can buy some clean ones and coax your wife back. Tell relatives to watch the joke."

Jia Lian thought, Feng Lazi didn't dislike Second Sister You, Feng Lazi wished that he lived in the monk's temple without a girl around him.Even if he obeyed her this time, he was afraid that he would have a worse life in the future, so he said: "The old ancestor doesn't know her jealousy, so it's for one person."

Jia's mother knew very well that back then, Jia Daishan had only two sons, Jia Amnesty and Housekeeper, who were born to her. The two daughters born to concubines have not been heard from since they left the house, which shows that she is also a bit temperamental.It's just that this woman doesn't like her husband's backyard with many people, but hopes that her children and grandchildren will flourish.

Jia Mu said: "In any case, you can't ask her to celebrate the New Year at Wang's house."

Jia Lian is also good-faced, but Wang Ziteng is different from other relatives.Among the four families, he is the only one who still occupies a real position, and the official is getting bigger and bigger.It's just that the emperor is in control now, and the cabinet is also restraining each other. Otherwise, he would not recommend his brother-in-law to be released as a dignified elder, and he has to think about whether Lin Mo will make trouble from it.But no matter what, Wang Ziteng is indeed the mainstay among the four families.Even if the Rongguo Mansion put its neck to the sky, the Wang family's gift has never been less than a year. Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng have been able to manage the family for so many years, which is not unrelated to the prosperity of their mother's family.

Jia Lian was afraid of Prince Teng, just as Baoyu was afraid of Jia Zheng.Whenever I think about it, I always feel aggrieved and terrified—I haven't gained any benefits, but I still suppress him all day, what good way can I think?

Jia's mother didn't expect so much, but she felt that the Wang family, the in-laws, were powerful and powerful, and they should get along well. Didn't they just want to contribute to Jia Zheng's affairs?Although the Rong family is also a prestigious family, it's just that Yingchun is a continuation, and they are not talkative at home. Do you expect her to go to the Rong family to benefit the Jia family?Secondly, Rong Xi was about to return to Shandong, so the relationship was naturally weaker.If it weren't for the fact that the daughters of the Rong family all had families, Mother Jia would have thought of telling Baoyu about it!As for the four daughters of the Rong family, they didn't even look down on Liu Xiangru, who was sick and tuberculosis, so naturally they couldn't get into Jiamu's eyes.

But not long after, Marquis Ding went to the Rong family to propose a marriage for his second son. The fourth daughter of the Rong family, whom Jiamu despised, was actually taken by Marquis Ding.

Now, Wang Ziteng has said that the matter of letting the household affairs out to outsiders is likely to be possible, and there is Yuanchun in the palace.

Originally thinking that Wang Ziteng was Baoyu's uncle, he would naturally contribute more, but just thinking of his usual style, he felt that Baoyu, Baochai, etc. were not as good as he was for Sister Feng.Baochai attracted King Yunjun's attention, but Wang Ziteng hurriedly called Aunt Xue over, suspecting that Shui Ji was forcing her, but after knowing that Xue's family was also very happy, he said angrily, "Don't call me brother in the future. I don’t dare to have such a promising niece.” Aunt Xue cried angrily: “Could it be better? Who married me into Xue’s family back then? They didn’t say such things at that time.”

Jia's mother was thinking about Baoyu, but she took her heart, and said to Jia Lian, "whatever you say, that's your daughter-in-law, your son's girl, you just think about forcing them to their mother's house for a woman, you go What to say later in Beijing."

With a bitter face, Jia Lian had no choice but to agree.

Yuchuan went back to Mrs. Wang and said that Baoyu had gone out to play and seemed to be tired. She fell asleep as soon as she came back, and Xiren and Sheyue had already come down to greet him.Mrs. Wang knew that attacking people were reliable, so she didn't say anything, she just told her to go back to the old lady.

Mother Jia also nodded when she heard this: "Poor thing, let him sleep well."

It's just that Baoyu went to bed too late, and she didn't wake up until dinner time. Jia Mu was worried, so she asked Yuanyang to go to see it. She said she woke up in the middle and was too lazy to get out of bed, so she asked Xiren to get him some duck meat. I ate porridge with yam cake, and now I am lying on the bed reading a book.Only then did Jia's mother feel relieved, and she said to Mrs. Wang: "After all, I'm still young. This kind of habit is not good. Fortunately, my father is not here today, otherwise I will talk about him again."

Mrs. Wang said with a smile, "He just goes there once or twice."

Jia Mu shook her head, "It's time to find someone to take care of him."

Mrs. Wang knew that she meant to marry Baoyu, but she didn't know what to say for a while.She was very fond of Baochai, she was her own aunt and niece, and the Xue family had a solid foundation. Although Xue Pan cost a lot of money, it was really not them who were borrowed by Aunt Xue when the provincial relatives built the Grand View Garden in Yuanchun. so poor.Besides, Xue Pan is useless, even though Baochai is in her boudoir, she also helps with some business matters. In the future, she will get more than just a dowry for Xue's family property.It's just that Mrs. Wang is also hesitant. After all, Jia's mother doesn't like Baochai, and Xue's family is from a merchant family. In the future, Baoyu's official career, Xue's family can only help him in a limited way.So after such a hesitation, he was not very enthusiastic about this matter.Aunt Xue and her decades-old sisters, why can't she see it?Originally, the beautiful girl from her own family could not enter the palace, so she wanted to find a good official to marry and find a backer for Xue's family. But Mrs. Jia couldn't help liking him, and the power of Rongguo Mansion was also in the hands of Mrs. Wang, so there was no need to worry about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.But since Mrs. Wang showed such a little hesitation, Aunt Xue was not very enthusiastic about her baby girl.

Her Baochai, with their appearance, temperament and knowledge, are all of the top. The ones with Baoyu are the family members. There are many people in Beijing who can overwhelm him.Among other things, Baochai's cousin, Baoqin, is destined to be Mei Hanlin's son. Could it be that her Baochai is worse than Baoqin?

After all, it belongs to the girl's family, and there is no reason to rush to ask others.Aunt Xue is also angry, and the water pump is really rare-you are young and handsome, the royal family and nobles, just looking at Keqing's status in Ningguo Mansion, you can know that although the righteous and loyal old Qiansui has disappeared for so many years, how can his many years of business management be? joke?

What's more, Shui Ji is a man who seems to be keeping a low profile.

Aunt Xue was still hesitant at first, Baochai was her eyeball and lifeblood, and she was a little bit reluctant to be made a small child.On the contrary, Baochai cried, "It's my uncle who helped me back. If I offend such a prince, how can we do business? How should I behave?"

In the end it should be.

Mrs. Wang regretted her response.It turned out that Baochai was her own niece, and she was not as aggressive and ruthless as Sister Feng. She knew how to persuade Baoyu on weekdays. It was a good marriage, but it just disappeared. Instead, she said a few sour words: "My lord's house There are so many people, Bao girl should be careful." Aunt Xue was upset for a while.

At this moment, listening to Jia Mu's meaning, she seemed to want to talk to Baoyu, so she had to say, "Didn't the monk say that Baoyu is not in a hurry to get married?"

"It's not too young," said Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang sighed: "We sit at home all day, even if the matchmaker says which girl is good, we can't see it. But old lady, you have a lot of experience, so you have to make a good calculation."

"Can I not think for Baoyu?" Jia's mother seemed to have a candidate in her heart, but she added another sentence, "Let's not mention the past, but Baoyu has to make a good total. Now his uncle is making such a fuss." , I have a big head. His father's affairs can be the best, so I have to think about what to do in the future. "

Mrs. Wang knew that the "before" she meant was Daiyu, and she could tell from her conscience that although she didn't like Lin girl, she was now the emperor's concubine, not to mention the Lin family's property. It is a great honor, if this great honor belongs to Baoyu... there is no need to mention the past.

Mrs. Wang cautiously probed: "Does the old lady have a candidate in mind?"

But Jia Mu didn't want to say clearly, "Let's have a look again."
