[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

A lot of people have come to the mourning hall, although most of them are members of the Jia clan, there are still some outsiders.Originally, they were surprised to see Jazi come back suddenly.However, before everyone had time to say hello to Jia Zi, they heard Jia Zi's angry voice.

Everyone's eyes turned to Jia Baoyu one after another, but they were so annoyed by Jia Baoyu's cowering posture like a mouse seeing a cat: If this is my own kid, I would have slapped him a long time ago, and I can still tolerate it. Shame on him?After carefully looking at Jia Baoyu's attire, everyone felt a little bit of understanding: No wonder Jia Zi was so angry that he didn't even care about his face and turned his face on the spot - if this kind of bastard is his grandson... No, no, Such unworthy descendants will never be born in my own family.

Even if there were a few who didn't understand, it was because of Jia Baoyu's action of hiding behind a five or six-year-old boy that he showed contempt: he would do this kind of thing if a little boy stood in front of him. Come to think of it, it really embarrasses all the men in the world!

Jia Baoyu doesn't care about other people's thoughts and gazes.He only knew that yesterday's aunt who wanted to beat him to death like a vase came again and lost her temper with him again.Therefore, he hurriedly got up, timidly hid his body behind Jia Lan, and asked Jia Lan to block Jiazi's gaze that wanted to cut him into pieces.

Jia Zheng, who came to help after receiving the news, naturally also heard Jia Zi's angry reprimand.Jia Zheng was naturally very dissatisfied with Jia Zi's behavior that completely disregarded his face. His first instinct was that Jia Zi was deliberately taking revenge on Jia Baoyu.But seeing Jia Baoyu hiding behind Jia Lan in fear, Jia Zheng couldn't help but glared at Jia Baoyu viciously, as if wishing to pull Jia Baoyu out and beat him up again: Why did he give birth to such a waste? ?Look at his timid and timid behavior, how can he even hide behind Jia Lan's back, how can he have the air of a master's son, he really humiliated him.

Although Jia Zheng was dissatisfied with Jia Baoyu in his heart, Jia Baoyu was his son after all, and he should protect him.Therefore, without even thinking about it, Jia Zheng stepped forward, pulled Jia Baoyu out from behind Jia Lan, and faced Jia Zi with a righteous look: "Azi, what happened to Zhener suddenly, I know If you are in a bad mood, I don't have to worry about it. My Baoyu is young and naughty, so you don't like him, but he is still polite and law-abiding. Don't forget, he is still the son of the Rongguo Mansion, not your punching bag."

When Jia Zi pointed at Jia Baoyu to chase him away, Wang Xifeng, who came with Jia Baoyu, quickly looked at Jia Baoyu, wanting to see if there was anything wrong with Jia Baoyu's dress: although before coming to Ningguo Mansion, she It has been carefully checked.

Worried that Jia's mother would be sad when she heard the news of Jia Zhen's sudden death, Wang Xifeng hurried to Rongqing Hall when she heard the news.After comforting and serving Jia Mu, she took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Jia Baoyu's residence, which is the Bisha cabinet in Jia Mu's yard, to see Jia Baoyu's condition: after all, Jia Baoyu has always been dressed inside and out. The image of red shows people.Although it seems to be more festive on weekdays, but now Ningguo Mansion is holding funerals.Wang Xifeng was really worried that Jia Baoyu couldn't think of this for a while, so he just went to the funeral in Ningguo Mansion in his usual attire-isn't this begging for beating?

Of course, if it was before, the people of Ningguo Mansion would have endured it and would not argue with Jia Baoyu at Jia Zhen's funeral.But Jia Zi, the well-known real aunt of the Jia family, came back at this time.The people in Ningguo Mansion may be useless, but this aunt will never tolerate Jia Baoyu at first glance.Therefore, she went to take a look at Jia Baoyu, lest Jia Baoyu really accidentally broke the taboo.

When Wang Xifeng saw Jia Baoyu, he was immediately relieved: he had already changed into plain clothes with the help of the newly appointed maid Xi Ren.Only then did Wang Xifeng bring Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan, Jia Huan, Jia Cong and several other children over.

It's just that Wang Xifeng didn't expect that Jia Baoyu would be reprimanded and expelled by Jia Zi as soon as he came over, so he quickly looked at Jia Baoyu again, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Jia Baoyu's attire: the head was covered with sapphire With a hair crown, she was dressed in blue and white clothes, and the jade belt around her waist was also replaced with a white one. Even the psychic jade that had been hanging around her neck was stuffed into the clothes.As long as Jiazi didn't have a see-through eye, it would be impossible to see that Jia Baoyu was wearing a bright red pajamas, and the innermost thing was a bright red bellyband.

If he had to find any faults with Jia Baoyu's outfit, it would be that the blue and white clothes at the bottom of the box were made last year, and they were a little wrinkled and a little short.

As for the other things, Wang Xifeng looked down again, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: Jia Baoyu's plain clothes were a little short, and under the short plain clothes were actually a pair of thick-soled big red shoes.

At this time, Jia Lian, who had been running over since receiving the letter and was busy entertaining guests, led Wei Cheng and Jia Min's family over, just to relieve Wang Xifeng's siege.Wang Xifeng hastily hid in the inner hall secretly: Look at this, Jia Zi is not going to be kind, she should run quickly, so as not to hurt her—looked at the bright red blood on her hand that was dyed with the juice of the impatiens flower Nails, Wang Xifeng couldn't help hiding her hands in her sleeves with a guilty conscience, thinking that she would have to find an excuse to go back to Rongguo Mansion later to get rid of the color on the nails.

And Jia Zi really didn't notice the color of Wang Xifeng's nails for a while, she was really angry with Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu and his son.

"Wei Cheng, Lian'er," Jia Zi really didn't bother to explain anything to a prudish and hypocrite like Jia Zheng: "Throw Jia Baoyu out for me." Looking at Jia Zheng's defense of Jia Baoyu, Jia Zi sneered in his heart : This is a scholar. Now I still think that she is looking for trouble and how to dress when attending a funeral. Do you want her to teach you?

"Jiazi," Jia Zheng held Jia Baoyu with one hand and looked at Jiazi angrily, "Don't go too far!" Jia Zheng never expected that Jiazi would become more and more unreasonable over the years.In the evening, he specially sent someone to invite her to the mansion for dinner, but she didn't show any face at all, and sent her away with the word "no"; now, she is chasing away her son Jia Baoyu in Jia Zhen's mourning hall.Jiazi simply didn't take him and the Rongguo Mansion seriously!

Jia Zi looked at Jia Zheng coldly: "Second cousin, am I going too far, or is Jia Baoyu bullying too much? Wei Cheng, Jia Lian, didn't you hear what I said?"

Hearing Jia Zi's words, Wei Cheng couldn't help taking a look at Jia Baoyu.At this glance, he saw something wrong: How can anyone wear a pair of red shoes to the funeral?How much did he hate the deceased, how much he didn't want to see the relatives of the deceased?

In fact, Wei Cheng's family was taken aback when they received the news from the servants of Ningguo Mansion: They would never believe that Jia Zhen, who was in her prime, died like this.However, they soon put on plain clothes and came to the funeral.Even Wei Ruoxun, who was only three years old, was dressed in an extremely simple and elegant manner.

Therefore, when he saw the slightly revealing red in Jia Baoyu's plain clothes, Wei Cheng had already started to frown.Looking at the pair of big red shoes on Jia Baoyu's feet again, Wei Cheng felt that his stomach began to feel uncomfortable.Wei Cheng felt that the deceased was offended, not to mention Jia Zi who was always very strict with Jia Zhen on the surface, but in his heart he valued this nephew very much.

He shook his head lightly, motioned Jia Min to look at Jia Baoyu's feet, then Wei Cheng took a step forward and took Jia Baoyu's hand directly, intending to take Jia Baoyu out first before saying: This is Jia Zhen's mourning hall after all, Arguing here is always bad.

"Wei Cheng," Jia Zheng saw that Wei Cheng actually obeyed Jia Zi's order and wanted to throw Jia Baoyu out, so he couldn't help becoming even more angry, and directly stretched out his hand to stop Wei Cheng from pulling Jia Baoyu's hand: "What are you going to do?" Don’t you forget that Min’er is your wife.” In fact, Jia Zheng’s original intention was that he was Jia Min’s elder brother. Compared with Jia Zi, his relationship with Wei Cheng should have been closer. How could Wei Cheng listen to him? Jia Zi's words, how to drive Jia Baoyu out?

However, this remark was not pleasant to the ears of other people.All the people in the mourning hall changed their expressions, even Jia Lian's face turned red with embarrassment: What did his second uncle say?

People who are about the same age know that Jia Zi, Wei Cheng, Feng Tang and others grew up together, grew up on the school grounds together, and played together on the street to cause trouble. Everyone knows, but no one has ever said that there is something ulterior about their relationship.

However, Jia Zheng actually said such words today, which really makes people look at this legendary gentleman with admiration: why is his mind so dirty?

"So the second brother still knows that I'm your sister." Hearing Jia Zheng's words to humiliate Wei Cheng, Jia Min stopped doing it: "I thought that in your eyes, my sister was already dead? "Jia Min's words contained a bit of resentment, thinking that Wei Cheng was dismissed because of Jia Yuanchun's betrayal, and she herself was dying of illness, but the Rongguo Mansion wanted to separate from her for fear of being implicated. .Since you, Jia Zheng, refused to show it when she was in the most difficult time, don't you think it's disgustingly hypocritical to do this now?

At this time, Jia's mother, who was moved out by the servants next to Jia Baoyu, was finally helped out by the two wives of King Xing.However, she never expected that when she heard Jia Min's words as soon as she came here, she couldn't help but feel very sad: "Min'er, what are you talking about? You are stabbing my heart with a knife..."

Jia Min opened her mouth to refute, Wei Cheng quickly took her hand, squeezed it lightly, then shook her head, motioning her not to speak: no matter what, Jia Min is Jia's mother's biological daughter, in such a Contradicting Mother Jia face-to-face is always a hindrance to her reputation.

Jia Zi and Wei Cheng had the same idea, therefore, as soon as Jia Mu's voice fell, Jia Zi hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of Jia Min, and pulled Jia Baoyu aside: "Who is it now?" Auntie knows when she stabs someone's heart with a knife. Auntie, Zhen'er has respected you since she was a child, and she has shown the love and love that a big brother should have for you younger brothers. Now that he is gone, you can't do this You are not afraid that his soul will be disturbed, and he will come to you at night to ask for an explanation?" These words were already tantamount to a curse, but no one dared to say anything, because Jia Zi had already kicked Jia Zi. Baoyu's feet let everyone see the bright red shoes on Jia Baoyu's feet.

Now both Jia Zheng, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang looked very embarrassed.In the hearts of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, they also complained to Wang Xifeng who took the initiative to ask Ying to take care of Jia Baoyu: Jia Baoyu is young and ignorant. Could it be that Wang Xifeng is also ignorant?How could Jia Baoyu come here to worship Jia Zhen wearing a pair of red shoes?

"You bastard!" Jia Zheng was furious, his first reaction was that Jia Baoyu really humiliated him.Thinking back to Jia Baoyu's squinting look when he saw Jia Baoyu holding the maid next to him in Jia Baoyu's room yesterday and eating the rouge from the maid's mouth, Jia Zheng's face turned red immediately, and he was so angry that trembling.

Jia Mu also said quickly: "Azi, Baoyu is still..."

"Don't tell me that Jia Baoyu is still young." Without thinking, Jia Zi threw Jia Baoyu to the side of Jia Rong who was already furious: "I don't want to hear such words. Auntie, I just want to tell you , This is the mourning hall of Zhen Er. If you sincerely come to worship him, I will be grateful on behalf of the Jia family; look like.

Just when Jia Zi was arguing with Jia's mother, Jia Rong pulled Jia Baoyu angrily, pulled Jia Baoyu hard, and dragged Jia Baoyu out: this is his father's mourning hall, and Jia Baoyu dared to wear a pair of bright red He ran over with his shoes, and he didn't pay attention to his father at all...

Jia Qiang who was on the side suddenly burst into tears, crying that Jia Zhen was pitiful, and that people were so humiliated in the mourning hall: she entered the mourning hall in a big red robe. Put the patriarch of the Jia family in your eyes...

Jia Mu's face turned red and white at the words of Jia Qiang's cry, and she wanted to go back to the Rongguo Mansion with her sleeves, but she also knew that she couldn't do this: if she took someone away, it would be tantamount to admitting Jia Qiang's cry—— The Rongguo Mansion didn't take Jia Zhen seriously at all, so Jia Baoyu came to the mourning hall wearing red shoes, pretending to be worshiping, but actually came to slap Ningguo Mansion in the face.

Just now Jia Amnesty has been busy making arrangements for the funeral and didn't know what happened in the mourning hall.When he rushed over after hearing these things, Jia Baoyu had already been thrown out by Jia Rong himself.

Jia Amnesty has "fighted" with Jia Mu for half his life, and although most of them belonged to the loser role, he knew Jia Mu's temperament.So seeing Jia Mu's expression, Jia Amnesty knew what Jia Mu was going to say, and quickly winked at Mrs. Xing, asking her to help Jia Mu back to the inner hall to rest: Jia Mu also has to say something to protect Jia Baoyu. The time and occasion, he, Jia Baoyu, is ten years old, doesn't he know that he can't wear red clothes at this time?

Jia Amnesty turned his head and looked at Wei Ruolan, Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others who kowtowed to Jia Zhen in a proper manner. They were all dressed in plain clothes, and there was nothing wrong with them from head to toe: If Jia Baoyu could behave like this, how could Jia Zi be so angry that he would make a fuss in the mourning hall?Think about Lin Daiyu, Lin Yan, sister and brother who have been sent to the inner hall, and Wei Ruoxun and others, who are not wearing plain clothes, why did Jia Baoyu have something wrong here?

Thinking of Jia's mother saying "Baoyu is still a child", Jia Amnesty sneered in his heart: Lin Yan and Wei Ruoxun are not children. Is there something wrong with their clothes?It is said that Jia Lan, Wei Ruoxun and others have mothers to take care of them, so what about Lin Daiyu and brother?He had heard all about it, Jiazi rushed to Ningguo Mansion in such a hurry that he had no time to take care of Lin Daiyu and his brother.Lin Daiyu helped her younger brother Lin Yan find plain clothes at home, and Jia Xichun found plain clothes, and then rushed to Ningguo Mansion after wrapping the outside of the carriage with white cloth. Could it be that Lin Daiyu is not a child?And Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, which one is not dressed properly?Is there anyone like Jia Baoyu?Still a child, Jia's mother can also say it.

Mother Jia wanted to reprimand Jia Zi when Madam Xing suddenly whispered a word in her ear. Mother Jia took a deep look at Madam Xing, sighed helplessly, and followed Madam Xing's words The strength turned back to the inner hall.Mrs. Wang felt sorry for her son, and immediately couldn't care about anything else, she hurriedly chased Jia Mufu and chased him out.

Being helped by Mrs. Xing to a lounge in the inner hall, Mother Jia leaned on the couch, sighing and sighing, but she kept thinking about Mrs. Xing's actions today.She did not expect that Mrs. Xing, a clumsy and clumsy idiot, would say the right thing: she quarreled with Jia Zi in Jia Zhen's mourning hall, and she lost face to the Rongguo Mansion, and it was Jia Yuanchun in the palace who made things difficult. ——If Jia Zi is really annoyed, what should she do if she finds a way to embarrass Jia Yuanchun?

Although it has been more than ten years since Jiazi left the capital, when these high-ranking ladies in the capital mentioned her, they all looked forward to and yearning for her, and who didn't want to give her a thumbs-up and praise "Yes"!One must know that the relationships of these noble ladies are intricate, more or less related to the palace.As long as Jia Zi reveals a little news to these noble ladies, then Jia Yuanchun will be completely ruined.

So just now, Mother Jia followed Mrs. Xing's force and turned around to leave: She can't conflict with Jia Zi at this time, at least not now.As for today's matter, Jia Baoyu was not dressed properly, but if word spread, Jia Zi's reputation was not much better.

In the mourning hall, outsiders can say that they only have admiration and admiration for Jiazi: if the same thing happens in their own home, they may only suffer from being dumb. After all, not everyone has the courage to shock people in the mourning hall.

However, the minds of the members of the Jia clan who witnessed all this were different: Those like Jiachang and Jia Ling who usually cling to the Second Mansion naturally felt that they had watched a good show and saw Jia Baoyu being bombarded. I feel very happy in my heart; but Jia Yun, who is more motivated, has his mind active: earlier, he wanted to beg Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng, and wanted to find a job; but now, should he wait for Jia Zhen? After the funeral is over, go and find Jazi?At least this aunt seemed to be more upright and more reliable.

Jiazi, on the other hand, had no time to care about other people's opinions, and started to get busy again without stopping.As for appeasing everyone, Jia Lian must have done a good job.

After offering incense to Jia Zhen, Jia Zi took Jia She aside and discussed the details of the funeral.Wei Cheng offered incense to Jia Zhen, and then came to help—whether it was because of Jia Min's face, or Jia Zi's face, or even because Jia Zhen was doing things for the prince. Even Wei Cheng couldn't stand by and watch this matter.

Jia Min patted Jia Zi's shoulder lightly after burning the incense, and walked directly to the inner hall with Wei Ruolan.Of course, as an elder, she couldn't just watch Jia Cong, Jia Huan, Jia Lan and others being embarrassed here, so she asked someone to tell them to leave with her.

"Xiao Min," Jia Zi called out to Jia Min with a dry voice, "wait for me, I need your help."

Jia Min nodded lightly, and stood directly at the door of the inner hall, waiting for Jia Zi to come over.Wei Ruolan and others were taken to Lin Yan's room by servants; as for Lin Daiyu, Sanchun sisters, Wei Ruoxun and others, they were in the next room.

"I'll go to the Taoist temple tomorrow." Wei Cheng said without thinking, "I'll pick up Big Brother Jing and come back to preside over the overall situation." Jia Zhen is Jia Jing's only son, and everyone doesn't know how to tell Jia Jing that "Jia Zhen is dead." "This news.Therefore, Wei Cheng can only come forward.After all, several other members of the Jia family cannot do without at present.And Jiazi wants to sit in the Ningguo Mansion and preside over the overall situation.

Jia Zi nodded, and after discussing some things, he went to find Jia Min.

"Xiao Min," Jia Zi said softly, "I can't take care of you these days, so you should pay attention to yourself. If you are tired, go to the waterside pavilion to rest."

Jia Min stretched out her hand to straighten Jia Zi's hair: "I know. You should pay more attention to your body. My elder brother is here, Wei Cheng is here, there are so many people here, don't worry too much."

"I'm fine." Jiazi nodded lightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "By the way, you also know what Youshi looks like. I want to ask you to help me take charge of the affairs of the house temporarily. My current energy is really exhausted." Not enough. Even if my elder brother comes back..."

Jia Zi's voice faded away, but Jia Min could understand what she meant: Jia Jing was already at the age of knowing his fate, and when he suddenly lost his son, he must be extremely sad.Even if the person came back, it must be difficult to manage the overall situation, maybe Jiazi will have to take care of him.However, in the current situation, Jia Jing cannot be kept from it.

"Okay." Although she knew it was not in compliance, Jia Min nodded, "Leave these trivial matters to me. You are in charge of the overall situation."

Jia Zi and Jia Min absolutely didn't know at this time that their decision directly shattered Wang Xifeng's ambition to flex his muscles, and it also made Wang Xifeng's grudge against Jia Zi even more serious-in Jia Zi's heart. Before Zi and Jia Min made a decision, Wang Xifeng had already agreed to the exhausted You Shi's request to help her handle the internal affairs of the Ningguo Mansion.

After all, You Shi and Jia Zhen were husband and wife for more than ten years, and Jia Zhen died suddenly, so you can imagine the sadness in You Shi's heart.She just couldn't handle these things.That's why she discussed with Wang Xifeng, asking Wang Xifeng to help with these matters.However, she didn't expect Jia Zi to invite Jia Min directly, so she was naturally more happy.

Therefore, as soon as he heard Jia Zi's words, Youshi immediately handed over the cards in the house and handed over all the internal affairs of Jia Zhen's funeral to Jia Min.Of course, Jia Min just used this as an excuse to refuse to see Jia's mother.

And Wang Xifeng watched the pair of cards that almost fell into his hands being directly taken into Jia Min's arms, and he was naturally very angry.However, she couldn't show it. Instead, she clenched her fists and said to Jia Min with a kind face: "Then this matter will be a burden to my aunt. If there is anything that needs help from my niece and daughter-in-law, my aunt will just ask."

Jiazi naturally didn't want to see Wang Xifeng's appearance, so someone came over and said that Jia Amnesty asked Jiazi to discuss the coffin, and Jiazi left immediately.

Hearing Jia Amnesty mention carefully that there is still a coffin board prepared for the old Prince Yizhong in the shop of the royal merchant Xue's house. It has an eight-inch thick foundation, but it will not rot for a thousand years. He can buy it for Jia at a low price. Jane, Jia Zi quickly shook his head: "No need. Just find some good Chinese fir."

"But……"

Jia She was still waiting to persuade him, Wei Cheng patted Jia She's shoulder lightly, and whispered a word into Jia She's ear, Jia She then suddenly realized: "It turns out...it turns out... …God, I almost made a huge mistake."

"It's nothing." Jiazi shook his head, and then said, "I have one more thing. I might trouble Big Brother She to come over tomorrow."

Jia Amnesty nodded quickly: "Azi, why are you talking about troubles between us! If you have something to say, just say it."

"Tomorrow," Jiazi pursed the corners of his lips, "Brother She is going to Shuntian Mansion to defend Zhen'er..."

"What did you say?" Jia Amnesty was taken aback: "Zhen'er...well, I said why did Zhen'er suddenly...Azi, just say who it is? I'm going to beat him to death." he."

Even Wei Cheng quickly stared at Jia Zi with wide eyes, completely unable to believe what he just heard: Jia Zhen is the master of Ningguo Mansion, the next Ningguo Duke, and the young patriarch of the Jia clan , How could he be killed in his own home?

Jia Zi sighed, and directly told Jia Amnesty that "Lai Er was stealing in Tianxiang Tower and was discovered by Jia Zhen, and he killed him in anger, and then fled".

As soon as Jiazi finished speaking, Youshi came over in a panic: "Auntie, it's not good, it's not good..."

The author has something to say: Wang Xifeng's job was robbed by Jia Min back then.As for Jia Min, she is gradually moving away from Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Hai: It is said that red shoes are beauties, does Jia Baoyu match them?

Jia Baoyu: Are they all beauties?I want to join the red shoes, I am the red shoes

Jia Lian: Are you going to eat rouge?

Jia Zheng: I beat you to death

Brother Lin: Why platform shoes?
