[Red Mansion] Chronicles of a Girl in the Lin Family

Jin Nai is Shui Jing's pseudonym, and his full name is Jin Pei. It's simple to say, but it's just the word "Shui Jing" reversed, and the sound is changed.

At this time, after hearing what Shi Hao said, he also put down his chopsticks, and sighed: "Brother Shi is a rare person in the world who really loves painting. He is not as good as some people, but he is just arty." After finishing speaking, his eyes flashed A trace of sarcasm, I don't know who he is talking about.

Shi Hao didn't pay much attention to his expression, and said after listening: "Who is there who really loves painting, but he just can't bear the dust of the true spirit in the painting."

Shui Jing said: "It's not for ordinary people to say that I can't bear the dust of the true spirit in the painting. Brother Shi can say this sentence, which is enough to show Brother Shi is a man. Come, I will toast Brother Shi!" He picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it towards Shi Hao.

Shi Hao, who was sitting opposite Shui Jing, quickly picked up his wine glass from the table, raised it towards Shui Jing, and said, "Brother Jin's words are too much for me to bear!"

Shui Jing smiled and said: "What can I not afford? I just told the truth." After speaking, he pointed to the dishes on the table with chopsticks, and said to Shi Hao: "Brother Shi, eat quickly, but Don't waste it!"

Shi Hao ate a few mouthfuls, and said: "I don't think Brother Jin is such a frugal person? I thought..." Before he finished speaking, he felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly picked up two chopsticks The dish was stuffed into his mouth to cover it up.

Shui Jing understood Shi Hao's unfinished words, but didn't mind, and even added two chopsticks for him, and then slowly took Shi Hao's words: "Brother Shi probably thinks that we are all those extravagant A wasteful person, right?"

Shi Hao was choked by Shui Jing's sudden words, he couldn't help coughing, and his face was flushed.Shui Jing didn't expect Shi Hao to be so unintimidated, and was taken aback by his reaction. He quickly put down his chopsticks, walked to Shi Hao's side, and patted his back, saying: "Brother Shi, why are you so anxious, but It's just joking with Brother Shi."

Shi Hao choked and coughed for a long time, quickly grabbed the wine glass and took two sips before recovering.He took Shui Jing's hand and said, "I didn't expect Brother Jin to be so forthright, to the point where my villainous heart surpasses the belly of a gentleman. It's just that in the world like Brother Jin, even though he is a rich man, he still knows Frugal people are also a minority, but there are more people who are extravagant and extravagant like the Ningrong Second Mansion."

Seeing that he was getting better, Shui Jing also sat back in his seat, but he was a little curious about what he said: "Hearing Brother Shi's words, it seems a bit strange to Ningrong Second House. misunderstanding?"

Shi Hao laughed at himself, and said: "Where is the misunderstanding? It's just that I have a lot of feelings." Speaking of this, he straightened his face, looked at Shui Jing and said: "Today I saw that Brother Jin was destined, so I talked to Brother Jin A few words. If Brother Jin doesn’t want to hear it, because he’s afraid of offending the people in Ning Rong’s Second House, just treat me as if I’ve been drinking too much and talking nonsense, just hear it, and don’t pass it on.”

When Shui Jing heard that this seemed to involve the private affairs of the Ning Rong Second House, he became very interested, and said to Shi Hao: "Brother Shi, just say it."

Shi Hao was afraid that he really drank too much, so he said to Shui Jing with a bewildered expression: "Brother Jin didn't know that my family also had [-] acres of fertile land and a Zhuangzi. I don’t have to worry about clothes, and I have a little money to spare. But I don’t want to go to the academy to study in the past, and when I came back during the New Year’s Eve, I saw my family moved from the green tile compound to the thatched cottage on the outskirts of the city. Even my parents and brothers were gone. There's a figure!" He hiccupped while talking, and lay down on the table without saying a word.

Shui Jing was curious about what's going to happen next, seeing Shi Hao like this, hurriedly stepped forward and pushed: "Brother Shi continue to talk, but I'm listening!"

Shi Hao has also kept this matter in his heart for many years. Seeing someone listening now, he wanted to vomit all the bitterness in his heart to him. He propped himself up with his hands, and said to Shui Jing with a drunken face: " Later, later..." Before he finished speaking, he started crying again, looking very sad.

Shui Jing heard him say a few words, it was the time when his heart was itching, but seeing Shi Hao in such pain, he also knew that the next thing must be extremely painful, so he comforted him a few words, and said: "Go on. How is it coming down?"

Shi Hao was comforted by him, the sorrow in his heart dissipated a little, and he continued to talk: "I only found out what happened from an old servant who lived in that thatched hut. It turns out It was my family's 30 mu of land and that Zhuangzi who caused the trouble!"

"My family's ancestors were also people with some financial resources. Although the family business lost a lot later, they also had small assets. That's why they were able to buy this family business when the country was just founded. But the location of this business is too good. , actually attracted the blue eyes of the rich slaves of the Rongguo Mansion." Speaking of the "blue eyes" of the rich slaves of the Rongguo Mansion, Shi Hao snorted, and then said: "My farmland is the best fertile land, and it is close to the capital, so it is easy to get rid of it." Usually, it costs two or thirty taels of silver per mu. But that Haonu only wants to buy it for ten taels per mu, so my parents will not be willing."

"Because of the sale of the field, our family has already attracted the hatred of the slave. Not to mention that later, when the emperor left the suburbs of Beijing to find a place to escape the summer heat, many people rushed to buy property in that place, only looking forward to To be able to meet the emperor once in a while. I don’t know if my family is lucky or not, but that Zhuangzi is on that land again!”

"That Haonu searched my family's property because of the field. When he found out about it, he hurriedly talked to the owner of the family. Since his owner knew about it, he came to my house to buy it. "

"My parents are just ordinary wealthy gentry. They didn't want to offend these powerful people. Seeing that they really wanted to buy it, they thought it would be a disaster to keep the village in their hands, so they said that if the price of his house is right, then sell it."

"I don't know what kind of wind that slave blew in front of his master. The price offered by his family was very suitable, but it dropped by [-]% on the day of signing the contract! My parents knew that they were willing, and they didn't want to live or die. I signed the agreement, but they sent me to jail and ransacked my house on the charge of defaulting on government money! My parents and elder brother were all sent to prison, and I was the only one who escaped this disaster because I was studying abroad!"

"Since the house was ransacked, all of my family's property was taken away by the Rongguo Mansion. Fortunately, my servant was loyal, and seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly found a spare time and hid in the countryside with the twenty fans. , I ran out when I saw the limelight coming."

"My parents were weak. How could they endure the hardships in prison? They fell ill soon. My elder brother, who was originally a strong man, was tortured in prison in turn. Finally, he was tortured by the jailer. When I took a straw mat and threw it to the mass grave, all that was left was the skeleton! The jailer was so cruel that my brother didn’t even leave the whole body behind!”

"It's been a long time since I came back and found out about this matter. I wanted to go to the Rongguo Mansion first to get an explanation, but when I got to the door, I didn't say anything, so someone called me out! I thought again I went to find the government, wrote a complaint and resigned to sue the Rongguo Mansion for bullying others and disregarding human life, but the official master beat me up in the name of false accusation, and I didn't even pass the scientific examination."

"I wanted to file an imperial petition, but my old servant stopped me. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive the hundred sticks, so I was advised to take the scientific examination. If I got it, I would be able to meet him in person." Your Majesty, please tell me about my grievances. I thought it was the same, so I prepared for three years, just waiting for Qiu Wei to come. But after all, it was just an extravagant hope. I was detained for cheating in the scientific examination as soon as I entered the Qiu Wei examination room. He will never be allowed to participate in the scientific examination again! Even the honor of a scholar who was awarded before was also taken away!"

"After this time, it only made me seriously ill. If it wasn't for my old servant, Brother Jin might not see Shi Hao alone today."

"The Rongguo Mansion harmed my whole family because of these extraneous things. I cursed their family day and night for ruining their families and cutting off their children and grandchildren! But this God always blesses the bad guys! My family's ancestral teachings must be to do good first, and not to do evil things, and the whole family will die." After a catastrophe, I was left with those twenty fans. That old servant also went there a few days ago. And that Rongguo Mansion has done a lot of evil things outside, and everyone is that selfish and vicious People, but tell them to live well, even when they die, it will be a big funeral! God has no eyes! God has no eyes!" Finally, Shi Hao's heart was full of resentment and unwillingness, and he cried loudly while talking up.

Shui Jing was also silent.

He thought it was just Shi Hao wanting to tell him some old things about the Ningrong Second House, but he didn't think that the old things were old things, but it was also a grievance of June Feixue.Fortunately, they chose a private room at that time, but no one else heard Shi Hao's words.Fortunately, it was Shui Jing who talked to Shi Hao today, otherwise, Shi Hao's life would be in danger!
