[Red Mansions] Male wife

In the morning, Pei Jin felt bored, so he asked Jia Xiuyun to play chess.Jia Xiuyun is not good at chess, but he is addicted to losing. Every time he loses a game, he always has to fight another game, forcing Pei Jin to continue playing with this poor chess player.When Xun Feng came to report the news, Jia Xiuyun was throwing a chess piece to play tricks.

Hearing the report from Xunfeng, Pei Jin's face sank and he didn't speak.

Jia Xiuyun spoke first, "Is there any accident, we should send someone to look for it."

Chasing Feng very much agreed with Jia Xiuyun's suggestion, looking hopefully at his master, waiting for his order.

"No need to go, the person is already dead."

Pei Jin went to the deck, observed the surrounding environment, and found several families near the riverside opposite the ferry.Pei Jin ordered the boat to stop on the opposite side, and asked Qufeng to take the two guards of Yongkang and Yongning to the people's homes to beg for some fresh vegetables, and he could give more money as a reward.After a while, the three guards came back with two baskets of vegetables each.Most of them are some cabbage, radish and other things, which are pulled back with roots, and it is not a problem to store them for three to five days.

Knowing that something was wrong, Jia Xiuyun sent the little magpie to inquire about Daiyu's situation, and also ordered people to send all the remaining bird's nest, ham, and other things on his boat to Daiyu's boat, and then filled some vegetables. The boat was largely unaffected.He also has rice noodles and the like, but I'm afraid he will learn how rabbits eat radishes and cabbage in the next few days.

The boat pulled out of the ferry, and the surroundings were still calm, so quiet that there was not even a shadow of a bird.There is always a plot in movies where a group of people ambushes another group of people, and because the instinct of animals is to avoid danger, the place where the ambush is set will be surprisingly quiet.Jia Xiuyun felt that the situation he was in now was similar to that in the movie, maybe there were some "criminals" hiding in the reeds on the shore.

Seeing Jia Xiuyun sitting on the deck looking at the distant river bank in a daze, Pei Jin smiled and asked him why.

"enemy."

"Enemy?" Pei Jin looked at Jia Xiuyun in surprise, with a smile in his eyes.

Jia Xiuyun looked at Pei Jin in bewilderment, his life was in danger, but luckily he could still laugh. "Hey, did your family offend someone?"

Pei Jin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "This is very complicated, and I won't be able to explain it clearly in a while."

"You can't put it simply, you don't even have the ability to summarize?"

Pei Jin smiled lightly, and really explained simply: "The empress has no children, and the first prince born by Concubine Wan is raised under her name. The second and fourth princes raised by Concubine Wan are not simple either. These three princes, all Not something in the pool."

"Uh, what do you mean that Concubine Wan's three sons are independent and fight each other?"

"more or less."

It was the first time for Jia Xiuyun to hear such a strange thing, Concubine Wan must be very stressed as a birth mother. "Then which faction are you from?"

Pei Jin smiled and shook his head: "No one, even if you join the party, you should be on the side of your relatives." He always likes to do things like favoritism.

Jia Xiuyun suddenly realized, how could he have forgotten that Pei Jin's mother, Wu Shi, is the older sister of Concubine Shu who is now being favored.Concubine Shu has six princes. Although the six princes are young and don't care much about things, they can still be regarded as a faction.

Alas, royal matters are complicated.

Jia Xiuyun sighed, as if he saw how tragic and heroic it would be for Pei Jin to be involved in the chaos of the crown prince's struggle.Jia Xiuyun held his mouth shut, and slandered in his heart: Marrying this kind of person, let alone five social insurances and one housing fund, even life is not guaranteed!

Seeing Jia Xiuyun's difficult expression, Pei Jin probably guessed what was going on in his heart, but he just smiled and said nothing.No matter how much he regrets now, the person is already his own, and he can't run away.

After starting from the Sancai County Ferry, the journey was smooth and smooth.After all, on this vast water surface, even an assassination requires a lot of technical support. First of all, you must know the water, and you must also be able to hold your breath, otherwise you will be discovered when you approach the boat. Can beat the master guards in the general's mansion.There are very few assassins who combine these three all-round abilities, and it is basically unfeasible.

Before arriving in Yangzhou, Jia Xiuyun realized why those shameless assassins attacked the servants who went ashore to buy vegetables.They must have no way to attack on the water, so they tried to lure the people on the boat to the shore, and tried their best to defeat them one by one.This trick is simply too bad!Fortunately, Pei Jin was prepared.

Regarding the accident in Sancai County, Pei Jin never mentioned it again after that day, as if nothing had happened.When he was bored, he would play chess with his stinky chess basket.Jia Xiuyun didn't bother to mention it either. He is a modern person who studies computers and doesn't know kung fu.The only thing he can do at this time is to shut up wisely and choose to believe in the person he wants to believe.

After five days, they finally arrived at the Yangzhou ferry safely.Just before getting off the boat, Jia Xiuyun remembered that he had something serious to tell Pei Jin, so he took out two bank notes from his pocket and stuffed them to Pei Jin.

Pei Jin looked at the 1000 taels of bank notes and raised his eyebrows to look at him suspiciously.

"Return it to you. I know that you deliberately let me buy the blueprints of jewelry. I was blinded by pride at the time, and I still reflected on it afterwards." Jia Xiuyun knew that the jewelry he drew did not sell well. The shopkeeper is very optimistic, but maybe his vision is too avant-garde and not suitable for the market.

"Where did you get the money? I don't remember your bun shop business being so good." Pei Jin laughed.

"Don't worry, this is a joke—" Jia Xiuyun gasped, and seeing Pei Jin's sinister eyes, he changed his tune and said, "I earned it by selling news." Aunt Xue gave it to him voluntarily, anyway, the money came from a legitimate source , don't be in vain.

"The things you draw are very innovative and worth the price. The sale is based on your wish, so why bother?"

Jia Xiuyun rolled his eyes at Pei Jin, raised his chin and said, "My lord is hypocritical."

Pei Jin met Jia Xiuyun's eyes, knowing that he must persist, smiled, and accepted the bank note. "Forget it, you just accept bribes from Liu Chong."

"Hey, you know about this?" Jia Xiuyun was surprised, the 500 taels of silver he received from the shopkeeper of the jewelry shop was done in private, secretly.

"Master has noticed you for a long time." Pei Jin smiled, seeing the people who picked him up at the ferry, he patted Jia Xiuyun on the shoulder, "Let's go, we are all waiting."

Jia Xiuyun nodded, and arranged for the little magpie to take care of Daiyu, and whispered to Pei Jin, "I won't give you the money Liu Chong sent, it's because of my personal charm."

Although Pei Jin didn't know where Jia Xiuyun learned the word 'personal charm', he still understood what he meant.Because he was busy with entertainment, he smiled and didn't bother with him.

There were many people waiting on the shore, and there were two people standing at the head.One is thin and thin, although he is near middle age, but his eyes are very clear, with a gentle look; the other is taller, about forty years old, with a fat, round face and rosy face, one can tell his body at a glance Belle is good.

The thin middle-aged man introduced himself first, told the two that he was Lin Ruhai, and politely cupped his hands to thank: "Thank you two nephews for taking care of the little girl all the way."

"Master Lin, you're being polite." Pei Jin suppressed his arrogance in an instant, and saluted Lin Ruhai very politely.Jia Xiuyun followed suit and called 'Uncle'.

Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Xiuyun slightly in surprise, and said with a smile, "So you are the third brother Huan mentioned in the girl's letter, good boy, thanks to you taking care of her."

After Daiyu got into the sedan chair, Lin Ruhai bowed his hands and bid farewell to the second master of the Pei family and others. Before leaving, he did not forget to invite Pei Jin and Jia Xiuyun to live in his house after worshiping their ancestors.

Pei Jin was not polite: "I will definitely disturb Mr. Lin."

The smile on Lin Ruhai's face was even fuller, he glanced at Pei Jin approvingly, then turned to look at Jia Xiuyun with a smile, got on the sedan chair, and left with his children.

After seeing Lin Ruhai off, the round-faced middle-aged man hugged Pei Jin happily.Pei Jin called his second uncle, and then introduced his relatives in Yangzhou's hometown with Jia Xiuyun: "This is my second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, seventh uncle, and eighth uncle."

Jia Xiuyun bent his waist six times in a row and nearly broke it.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Jin began to introduce the brothers who were traveling with several uncles.After Jia Xiuyun got to know each other, Fang and Pei Jin boarded the car together and arrived at Pei's old house.

The two sons of the second master of the Pei family, Pei Jiang and Pei Wen, are in charge of arranging the residence of Pei Jin and Jia Xiuyun.The courtyard is very large, and the main building is even more grand than the Rongxi Hall in Jia's Mansion. The front yard and the back yard are grandly arranged, and there is a small garden with flowers, plants, bamboo trees, rocks and rockery, and a gurgling stream.

After Pei Jiang and Pei Wen finished explaining the chores, they left early so that they could rest earlier and relieve their fatigue from the journey.

Pei Jin gave up the good location of the main house to Xiuyun, and he went to live in the side room.

"No, you are the master here. I can just live in the wing room. The environment here is many times better than my house. I can't suffer." Jia Xiuyun smiled, and didn't give Pei Jin a chance to argue, and directly ordered someone to take him away. Move things to the wing room.

Pei Jin didn't force him either, he was willing to respect Xiuyun's decision.

"Hey, I found a very strange thing. Your uncle is ranked eighth! It's not a big deal. It's strange that you uncles pick you up in person. It stands to reason that they are the elders." When I saw Uncle Six, I guessed that he must be out of town or no longer there. "Also, your names are different from those of your cousins. Yours is Jin, while their names are Jiang, Wen, He, etc. They are all related to water."

"My name was given by the emperor, so I am different from them." Pei Jin smiled and continued to explain, "I used to have seven uncles, and the sixth uncle left early. Now there are six uncles left. They are all The old lady was born to the good concubine Fuzheng, who is now the old lady in the mansion. I will take you to see her in a while. Although it is Fuzheng, she is different from the main wife. She is a side wife. After death, she cannot be buried with the old lady. So In terms of status, they are far behind our big room."

"Uh, side wife? This is the first time I've heard of it. But your grandmother is the eldest princess, so it makes sense." Jia Xiuyun sighed.The current elder of the Pei family is powerful all over the country, how powerful is the eldest son of the Pei family in the capital.Compared with the larger houses, the Pei family in Yangzhou is almost unknown.So sometimes birth decides the outcome, Pei Jin is the kind of person who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.

After resting for a while, the two went to the old lady's room to say hello before dinner.It's not so much a greeting, it's better to say hello.The old lady was over half a hundred years old, and she still had to welcome Pei Jin personally with a cane, and every word she said was polite.

The next day, Pei Jin took Jia Xiuyun and everyone from the Pei family to the Pei family's ancestral grave to worship their ancestors.Several masters of the Pei family got the news a few months ago and prepared everything. Immediately, they summoned more than a hundred mages to clear the way, and there were countless worship utensils and tributes, which were very extravagant.

Jia Xiuyun secretly calculated that the Pei family's worship this time would cost more than ten thousand taels of silver, and it could be regarded as a waste of money.However, the Pei family worshiped the princess and the son-in-law, so it's not uncommon to have this kind of treatment.

After the sacrifice, on the way back, Pei Jin stopped by the Lin Mansion and asked Quefeng to deliver the greeting card.Unexpectedly, as soon as the car stopped, Pei Jin saw a monk with a scarlet head and a lame Taoist squatting at the gate of Lin's mansion, as if they would not leave.

Without further ado, Pei Jin got out of the car and looked at the crippled Taoist: "Ten years ago, did you ever go to Pei's house in the capital?"

"Oh, monk, injustice has come to you." The lame Taoist took a step back, and fell into the arms of the scarlet monk.The two yelled loudly and lay down on the ground together.

Jia Xiuyun can recognize these two people, who doesn't know the two skinny monks and the lame Taoist who can see through the world in the red building.He quickly jumped out of the car and went straight to the two of them.When the lame Taoist saw Jia Xiuyun, he opened his mouth wide in shock, revealing his red tongue.

"A sinful debt, a sinful debt." The lame Taoist shouted and stood up, "Everything in the world is like lightning, and samsara is rolling like clouds. If you don't know what will happen tomorrow, how can you judge right from wrong?" 1

After the lame Taoist finished speaking, he helped the monk Laitou to leave.Seeing this, Pei Jin sternly told them to stop.Then people go faster and faster.Pei Jin became angry, and shouted to drive Feng to chase after him on horseback.

The people in Lin's mansion heard the news and reported it to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai hurried over and invited Pei Jin and Jia Xiuyun into the mansion.Lin Ruhai heard that the two of them met the monk with a scarlet head at their door, and ordered people to chase him.

After the three of them entered the room and sat down, Lin Ruhai asked Pei Jin puzzled: "Why, what's the matter between Nephew Pei Xian and that Taoist?"

"Of course I did. When I was three years old, I got a little sick. It was always bad. It happened that a lame Taoist came to the house to beg for tea. He heard that I was sick, so he deceived the crowd, saying that he should not be close to a woman in this life. My mother believes in his nonsense. My nephew now knows a little bit of gossip about the Book of Changes, but I have never heard of any judgments that are not close to women. When I saw him today, I would like to ask him what he said back then. "Pei Jinhuo said, he hated being coerced to do things the most in his life, but his fate as a child was held hostage by this lame Taoist.

"Hey, the so-called curse on you was given to you by this Taoist?" Jia Xiuyun gloated, thinking that this couple of monks and Taoists are really not idle, catching up with a movie called "The Promise" a few years ago. In the movie, there is a fairy named Manshen, who prophesies everywhere and fools children.Now that the god really has nothing to do, he came down to bully the mortals for fun. Does this make them feel superior?

Pei Jin smiled helplessly, and Fang nodded, answering Jia Xiuyun's question.

"It would be better if I caught it." Jia Xiuyun said bitterly, maybe he traveled here or those two made it, so he could just ask.

"Coincidentally, when my daughter was three years old, a monk with a skinny head wanted to make her a monk. My wife and I refused to allow him. He said: 'Since I can't bear him, his illness will never recover. If When it is better, weeping will never be seen unless from now on; except for parents, all relatives and friends with foreign surnames will not be seen, so that this life can be safe. 2' I ignored him at the time, and I thought about it afterwards. Therefore, if it is true as he said, it would be better to find a solution sooner. However, I have searched for many years, but I have never seen this monk, but I did meet today, and it is too late." Lin Ruhai sighed.

"It's nonsense, why believe him," Pei Jincai didn't believe that human life can be determined with a few words from one or two bad monks, and it depends on human effort.If people don't act, even if they are rich and honored, they will be sitting on nothing if they eat and squander all day long.

Lin Ruhai frowned and said, "It's not entirely true. When you were young, you were really in poor health. Afterwards, according to what the monk said, you can see how healthy you are now. My little girl, her insufficiency has been around for a long time and has never been cured."

"Why don't Uncle Lin believe what the monk said, just give it a try." Jia Xiuyun suggested.

Lin Ruhai looked at him in surprise and asked him what he meant.

Jia Xiuyun explained: "Nephew, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If my nephew moved here to live with you since he was a child, he would inevitably feel uneasy. He would be cautious every day, and he would be careful when he was not sick. Living under the fence is suffering. The so-called golden nest Silver dens are not as good as our own kennels."

Lin Ruhai was even more astonished. He stared at Jia Xiuyun for a long time before he sighed.Even if men are like this, how can Daiyu, a mere weak woman, live comfortably.This matter was indeed my own negligence. At that time, I had just lost my wife and was heartbroken; my mother-in-law sent someone to remind me urgently, and for a while I felt that it would be better to send my daughter there than to live with myself.Thinking about it carefully now, Daiyu has never met Jia Mu, and all her relatives are very unfamiliar, so it must be difficult when she first arrived there.Besides, the Rong Mansion's deep house compound, with her temperament, will definitely watch her words and demeanor carefully, and it may not be easy.

Lin Ruhai showed a look of guilt, which was beyond words.

Seeing that the situation is good, Jia Xiuyun continued to chase and said, "Uncle Xu doesn't know yet, Mrs. Jinchun's own sister, Aunt Xue, and her children have also come to live in Rongfu."

Lin Ruhai met Jia Xiuyun's eyes, knowing that his words must have deep meaning.After thinking about it for a while, Lin Ruhai thought very clearly.He had heard about Xue's family in Jinling, that now only a widowed mother and a pair of children remained in the lineage mentioned by the nephew.If you are in distress, you will find a way to find someone to take refuge with you.Rongguo Mansion can be regarded as a powerful family, and Aunt Xue's daughter is just the right age for Baoyu, so if she doesn't go sooner or later, she will go at this time, so there is no calculation.Besides, when it comes to relying on elder brother or elder sister, since elder brother's line is closer, Aunt Xue went to live in Rong Mansion instead, her purpose couldn't be more obvious.Daiyu grew up in the Rong Mansion since she was a child, and she will be closer to her brothers and sisters in the Rong Mansion. If others mistakenly think that her daughter is in the way, there may be some conflicts.

This Rongguo Mansion is simply a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!

Lin Ruhai is not someone who makes assumptions, so he asked Jia Huan about the situation in Rongfu.Lin Ruhai first asked Aunt Xue's only son, Xue Pan, about his knowledge.

Before Jia Xiuyun could answer, Pei Jin sneered. "He's just an idiot, good-for-nothing, and he's always trying to be brave. He's only been in Beijing for half a year, and he's been in Shuntian Mansion twice."

Jia Xiuyun smiled and added: "Sister Bao has a good temperament, she is calm and generous, she has only been here for a few months, and everyone in the Rong Mansion likes her."

Lin Ruhai was startled enough to hear Xue Pan's actions, and then he heard that Xue Baochai was such a scheming person, and he was even more worried about his daughter Daiyu.After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai felt that it would be worthwhile not to go to this capital.His daughter's thoroughness deserves him to be his father's protection!

At this time, Chafeng came in and reported: "My lord, the slave is incompetent and failed to catch up with those two people. It's also strange that the Taoist priest was obviously lame, but he ran faster than a horse, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. His mouth was still broken." Saying something like 'Don't chase, don't chase, just pass on a word, don't underestimate the wind blowing the tree'."

"The wind blows the tree?" Lin Ruhai looked at Pei Jin suspiciously.

Pei Jin chuckled lightly and remained silent.

Jia Xiuyun laughed and said to Lin Ruhai: "It can have any profound meaning, but it means that the strong wind can blow down the big trees. I think he means that the fate is in your own hands."

Pei Jin smiled knowingly, and praised Jia Xiuyun with admiration: "I didn't expect you to see clearly."

"It's natural." If I couldn't see through it, I would have bumped into a wall to seek my death the day I transmigrated, and even if I didn't hit it that day, I would have bumped into it when I was arranged to be a husband and wife.Sometimes fate is like this. It made a big joke with you, and it will give you a big surprise later.Pei Jin, well, it was barely a surprise for him.

"What are your plans after the two of you worship your ancestors?" Lin Ruhai asked, stroked his beard.

"There's nothing else, go back as soon as possible." Pei Jin said.

"Eh? So fast?" Jia Xiuyun sighed.After all, it was a waste of time to travel at public expense and go back after staying for two days.

"Why, do you want to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days? Then stay for a few more days." Pei Jin followed Jia Xiuyun's intention.

Lin Ruhai bent his eyes and smiled, seeing that Pei Jin really cared about his nephew.Marriage between a man and a man is a bit strange, as long as the person involved feels good, it's fine.Lin Ruhai really liked these two children, and suggested: "It's better to stay for a few more days, and I can take my nephew to various places in Yangzhou. I don't think it's getting early, so why don't you stay here at night? Set up a table of wine and have a good chat. As for Pei's residence, send someone to tell you."

Jia Xiuyun and Pei Jin exchanged glances, but Jia Xiuyun had no objection.Pei Jin happened to have something important to discuss with Lin Ruhai, so he would not be polite, so he nodded and stayed.

The author has something to say: (Note 1: "Everything in the World", Luo Hongsheng) (Note 2 is excerpted from the original text of "A Dream of Red Mansions")
