[Red Mansions] Male wife

Jia Xiuyun bid farewell from the General's Mansion, and walked home slowly.Mother Jia heard that there was news from General Pei, and she had been looking forward to this day, so she sent a maid to block the door to meet Jia Xiuyun.As soon as the maid saw Jia Xiuyun coming in, she hurriedly pulled him in.

"Why is the third master so slow, the old lady is waiting anxiously." The servant girl urged.

Jia Xiuyun sighed, and went into the house to apologize to Jiamu.Mother Jia's health has always been poor, so it's really not easy for her to wait for such a long time.When Jia Mu saw him coming back, she stretched her neck and asked how he was.

Jia Xiuyun shook his head.

Mother Jia sighed after listening to what the servant Qian Huai had said, and comforted Jia Xiuyun not to worry, that Pei Jin will surely be blessed and all will be fine.Jia Xiuyun nodded, now he can only borrow her old man's auspicious words.Although he knew that with Pei Jin's ability, he would not be easily defeated by the bad guys, but since he knew the enemy was in the dark, and the road was far away, he was tossing back and forth, so he couldn't say for sure.At the beginning, the guards sent by the General's wife, Mrs. Wu, only accepted General Pei's team, and now Pei Jin can only send people to look for them again.

"What should I do? I thought I would take care of the two of you this spring." Mother Jia sighed.

Jia Xiuyun slowed down for a while, and said with a faint smile: "Old Ancestor, I'm not in a hurry, even if the two men get married, they won't be able to have children. Besides, I'm still younger than Second Brother Bao, so hold on tight to him first."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Xiuyun with pity, and nodded in relief. "You are too sensible a child. If our men can keep up with you by half, my old lady will be willing to die."

"Grandmother, don't say such depressing words, you will live a long life." Jia Xiuyun comforted.

"Hey, it's a great joy to see off the third girl, and it's also a joy to see General Pei return in victory. Let's set up a few tables to celebrate today. Xiuyun, don't worry, with that child's ability Something will happen. Tomorrow, I will take you to the temple to ask for a few more talismans, and when we come back, we will string them up and put them on the porch." Jia Mu persuaded with a smile.

Jia Xiuyun nodded, but he didn't drink during dinner, he just watched other people having fun.The next day, he visited Jia Mu and saw that she was not in good spirits, so he asked him to go to the temple alone.It's true that Jia Mu's body is not good, so she doesn't force it, but he can't ask Jia Xiuyun to go by herself and let Baoyu accompany him.Baoyu was somewhat unwilling, but Jia Mu begged, so she had to reluctantly agree.

Mother Jia watched the brothers leave with narrowed eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at the mandarin duck. "Nowadays I don't care about wealth or honor, as long as this family can live a decent life. I'm afraid that after I leave..."

"Old lady, what are you talking about? You will live a long life, so what is the point?" Yuanyang cried anxiously when she heard Jiamu's emotion, her nose sore.

Jia Mu happily narrowed her eyes, and stretched out her old hands to wipe the teardrops on Yuanyang's face. "There's nothing to be sad about. Birth, old age, sickness and death are normal. The only thing we can't let go of is these children. Baoyu, don't be strong. It's okay to have me protecting him in the past. From now on...I hope Xiuyun can help him, However, the relationship between the two brothers is not very good."

Yuanyang listened silently, she couldn't help with Master's affairs.But she kind of understands why Mother Jia asked Baoyu to accompany Third Master Huan today. It turned out that her old man repaired the relationship between the two brothers.

When he arrived at the Town God's Temple, Xiuyun worshiped the Buddha, prayed sincerely for a while, and then walked out of the main hall. There happened to be a fortune-telling booth at the door.Jia Xiuyun hesitated as he watched the people coming and going asking for a lottery.

Baoyu was not interested in going in, and he had nothing to worship, so he just wandered outside.After finally waiting for Jia Xiuyun to come out, he wanted to urge him to leave quickly, but saw him staring at the fortune teller in a daze.Baoyu guessed that he must be thinking about Uncle Pei's comfort, so he felt so sympathetic, and walked up to Xiuyun friendly, and asked Xiuyun if he would like to ask for a lottery.

"No." Jia Xiuyun withdrew his gaze and sneered, "Only those who doubt their own fate will go back and figure this out. I'm pretty sure about my future, why should I go?"

"You? I asked you kindly, but you still choked me with words. You are always like this. You don't know what is good and what is bad, and you do all kinds of annoying things!" Baoyu said angrily.

"You've grown so big, you're still so interesting, Jia Baoyu." Jia Xiuyun glanced at him, turned and walked outside the temple.

Baoyu was confused by what he said, so he stopped him unconvinced and asked Jia Xiuyun what he meant.

"Do you always want to position yourself higher than others? Don't you think that you are too spoiled? If you say anything, others must respond to you and flatter you?"

"You are so unreasonable!" Jia Baoyu said angrily.

"Reasonable? Why didn't you think about reasoning with the starving beggar on the street when you were soaking in the crowd of women. Jia Baoyu, it's not that you pity anyone or care about anyone. Whoever has to kneel down to give You lick your feet. This is not a good temper, nor a kind heart." Jia Xiuyun sneered.

"You, when did I behave like you said. I know that Uncle Pei hasn't come back and you are in a bad mood, but you can't throw your temper at me indiscriminately. Who knows who is a jerk." Jia Baoyu took a disgusted look. Jia Xiuyun was extremely disgusted, and muttered in a low voice, "It seems that I am willing to come with you, if it is not for the sake of filial piety to my ancestors, I would not bother to come here!"

"Heh, if you're really filial, study hard and show her the glory of the lintel. Don't be in charge of the family and don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. You have eaten a lot of food at home since you were a child, but you can earn a penny and go back?"

Jia Baoyu frowned and looked at Jia Xiuyun in surprise. "How did you become like this now? You used to be a bit of a gentleman of the Zanying family, but now the smell of copper is all over your mouth, you know money!"

"Pfft, you are gentle and elegant, then you should study well, and if you are capable, don't eat the things you bought." Jia Xiuyun raised his head and looked at him provocatively.

Jia Baoyu gave him a hard look, and no matter what he tried to do, he ordered Mingyan to go back.When the two came, they rode in the same carriage, but Jia Baoyu didn't care about him, so he just jumped into the carriage and left first.When Jia Xiuyun and his servant Qian Huai walked out of the Town God's Temple, they couldn't find half of them.

Qian Huai stomped his feet angrily: "Second Master Bao, how could he do such a thing and leave him here alone. The Town God's Temple is so far away from the capital, and the location is remote, so there is no place to find a carriage. Third Master, how can we go back ah?"

Jia Xiuyun looked up at the sun in the sky, it was not yet noon. "Fortunately, I came early, I guess I can go back before it gets dark and close the city gate if I leave now."

"Ah?" Qian Huai opened his mouth wide.

Jia Xiuyun grabbed a piece of dogtail grass on the side of the stone steps and stuffed it into Qian Huai's mouth. "Ah what, hurry up!"

Qian Huai came back to his senses, hurriedly descended the stone steps, and caught up with Jia Xiuyun in front. "Let me tell you, master, it's nothing to take two steps with my rough skin and thick flesh. You can't do it, you are the master, how can you walk back, the soles of your feet will blister when you walk so far."

"It's time to go hiking to exercise your body." Jia Xiuyun continued to move forward at the same speed without changing his face.

Qian Huai stopped, stunned, pondering over the meaning of the master's so-called "excursion", this was the first time he heard someone say this word, but he still understood the meaning.Qian Huai pretended that he was ignorant and didn't dare to ask more questions, so he followed Jia Xiuyun honestly.Qian Huai walked with his master for more than half an hour, but his feet felt sore, tired and thirsty, and he begged his master to rest his feet.Just as Jia Xiuyun stopped in response, he saw Qian Huai let out a cry and lay down in the grass beside the road to rest.

Jia Xiuyun smiled at him.Qian Huai stretched embarrassedly and sat up. He saw a flat stone in front of him not far away, and hurriedly moved it over for his master to sit on.

"Sit down for a while, I'll look around to see if I can find water to drink."

"Don't look for it, there is no water in this place."

Qian Huai looked around at the endless fields and felt that it was reasonable, so he sat down on the grass with his mouth full of desire and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Jia Xiuyun smiled and said, "Are you still a little boy, you will be tired after walking two steps."

"Oh, lord, I am really used to this problem. I have been living with you for a better life these years, and I rarely walk when I go out. If I didn't go out for a walk with my lord today, I would I really don't know that my rough body is so pampered." Qian Huaihan said with a smile.

Jia Xiuyun also smiled, and sighed: "It's a good thing, it means you didn't follow me in vain."

"Following you, third master, is the most proud thing in my life." Qian Huai said proudly. Just as he was talking, the sound of horseshoes came from the other side of the road.Qian Huai stood up and stretched his neck for a look. "Master, there seems to be someone coming over there. I have money on me. Let's try to stop one and talk to them about getting someone to come over."

Jia Xiuyun nodded.

Qian Huai stood happily on the side of the road, waving at the dozen or so men galloping over on horseback.It's a pity that the group of people didn't seem to see him, they galloped by on horseback, the dust was soaring on both sides of the road, and they didn't even see their faces clearly.Qian Huaima didn't stop him, and even ate a mouthful of ashes, which amused Jia Xiuyun.Jia Xiuyun looked at the disheveled Qian Huai, laughed and slapped his legs.

Qian Huai also laughed, showing his white teeth. "Master, seeing you smile, everything I do is worth it."

"It's a joke, it's like I'm making faces for you all day long." Jia Xiuyun said.

"Young one doesn't mean that. You usually smile, and it's gentle and beautiful, but it's not sincere. How many years have you been with me, and you still can't see it? You haven't been really happy since Uncle Pei left. " Qian Huai said seriously.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Why are you unhappy? You are richer now than before, and your words are more important than before. Why are you unhappy? Be happy!" Jia Xiuyun insisted.

Qian Huai pursed her lips and smiled: "That's right!"

The two of them fell silent, only then did they hear the sound of horseshoes, they looked sideways at the same time, and the group of people who had just passed by on horseback turned back again.Riding in the front was a burly man with a beard, and he was looking at Jia Xiuyun and Qian Huai with cautious eyes.Qian Huai saw that all the people in the group had knives on their waists, and they looked fierce. He was so frightened that he swallowed, and moved to Jia Xiuyun's side.Qian Huai said in a trembling voice, "Master, I seem to have blocked the wrong person."

"No, you didn't." Jia Xiuyun looked at the group of people with burning eyes, and slowly raised the corners of his mouth...
