[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

Chapter 52 Leaving Yangzhou & Jingzhong Affairs

Looking at the Yangzhou pier that was getting further and further away and gradually disappearing in sight, Jiazi waved his hand mischievously and took a deep breath.

"What's the matter?" Lin Hai stood beside Jia Zi, teasingly said, "Do you suddenly feel a little bit reluctant to stay here?"

Turning his head to look at Lin Hai, Jia Zi blinked, and held Lin Hai's hands with a smile: "I was thinking, our family finally came out of Yangzhou safely. Do you know how long I have been looking forward to this day?" ?”

"Is it that serious?" Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi with a funny face: "This is not a dragon's pond or a tiger's lair, how can it be as scary as you said?" Seeing Jia Zi's avoidance of Yangzhou, Lin Hai wanted to laugh. .Of course, Lin Hai knew very well that the reason why Jiazi was like this was because he had experienced too many dangers during his tenure as the inspector of salt in Yangzhou.For Jiazi's undisguised concern, Lin Hai was very grateful.

"Why isn't it a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair?" Jiazi tapped Lin Hai's chest, and said with a little coquettishness: "You count on your fingers, do the math, you have been counted by others all these years in Yangzhou How many times have you done it? All kinds of conspiracies, open guns and hidden arrows, beauty poisons and medicines are counted, are ten fingers enough for you to break it off? Do you want to lend me mine?"

As long as you think of the people in the Jiangnan officialdom headed by Zhen Yingjia, in order to win or bring down Lin Hai, they have used all kinds of scheming and unscrupulous methods, and even used such insidious tricks as poisoning their family. The anger in Zi's heart could not be appeased.If it weren't for the fate of their family, I'm afraid they have already met those people's wishes.

And Jia Zi and Lin Hai clearly knew what those people did behind their backs, but on the surface they had to deal with them in vain, and they couldn't just whip them over to take revenge.On such a day, Jiazi felt useless when he thought about it: it would be better to be happy and unrestrained on the battlefield.

Sometimes, Jiazi really wanted to go directly to Jinling and beat all the members of the Zhen family, male and female, from old to young; Write down all the crimes; then take Zhen Yingjia's confession to the emperor's imperial table, let him take a good look at the virtues of his favorite person; finally, let the emperor general Zhen Yingjia The entire family of the clan was copied and executed, leaving no chickens or dogs behind.

Lin Hai held Jiazi's finger with a smile, put it on his lips, and kissed it lightly: "You said this yourself. If you want to give me this finger, don't lie to me." Feeling a bit heavy, Lin Hai hurriedly joked with Jiazi to change the subject.

"Huh!" With a snort, Jia Zi pulled out his hand, sat down on the deck casually, waved again, let Lin Hai sit next to him, and looked at the Yangzhou Wharf in the distance, where the news had disappeared. Reminiscing, it seems to be thinking: "Actually, I have never been afraid of death. However, I am really unwilling to face the ghosts and tricks of my own people. Besides, the children are still so young. I am really afraid of death." Worry, in case one of us doesn't pay attention one day..."

"No." Lin Hai gently hugged Jia Zi's shoulders, and gently comforted him: "They are protected by the two of us, and nothing will happen. Don't worry." What Jia Zi said was actually what Lin Hai said. worried.But, fortunately, it all passed.Now that Yangzhou's errands are over, Jia Zi doesn't have to worry so much anymore: No matter how the capital is, it won't be as complicated and treacherous as Yangzhou, full of murderous intentions.

"Yeah!" Jiazi finally showed a relaxed smile on his face, and leaned on the deck with his arms behind his back: "Tell me, is Zhen Yingjia mad now?" Thinking of Zhen Yingjia, he was thinking about the position of Xunyan Yushi After such a long time, but in the end when the new emperor transferred Lin Hai back to the capital, he handed over this position to an outside Beijing official, and Jiazi felt very happy in his heart.

Lin Hai imitated Jiazi and sat, with his eyes closed, enjoying the feeling of the sun shining on his body: "He should be scared to death now." Zhen Yingjia was naturally afraid when the emperor abdicated—the new emperor and Zhen There is nothing old to talk about at home.Besides, the new emperor should be waiting for the Zhen family to attack him.From Lin Hai's point of view, if Zhen Yingjia is really smart, she should take care of her family affairs quickly and take the initiative to make a confession.In this way, perhaps you can reserve a little room for your own home.

"By the way." After a while, Jia Zi turned his head, looked at Lin Hai and asked, "Should we tell Lian'er about that? This will save him from going back without knowing anything, and going back in a daze. Being used by others. You don't know, but the Wang's daughter is amazing!"

"No matter how powerful you are." Lin Hai pinched Jiazi's nose, and said softly, "Tell him some time in the next two days. Just like you said, lest he just go back like this and be confused again." being taken advantage of."

Jia Zi nodded heavily, and then covered his mouth and laughed: "Do you think Lian'er will be in the shadow of taking a boat in the future? When I went to Yangzhou, I was so excited; when I went back, Another thing like this happened. Why is he so miserable!"

"Little villain." Lin Hai hugged Jiazi's shoulder with a smile: "I am very happy to see my nephew's jokes, aren't you?"

"You're a good person," Jiazi looked at Lin Hai provocatively, "Then you should tell him about it. It will save me trouble!"

Jia Lian, who originally planned to play on the deck for a while, was hiding at the entrance of the deck not far away, watching Jia Zi and Lin Hai sitting together, joking and joking, unaware that he was about to receive another huge blow. Instead, he enviously abducted his little boy Long'er: "Aunt Zi and Uncle Zi really have a very good relationship, don't they?"

"Of course my parents' relationship is getting better." Behind Jia Lian, Lin Hui and Lin Yan had been standing for a while.Hearing Jia Lian's emotion, Lin Hui quickly interjected, "They always only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals."

Jia Lian was startled by Lin Hui's sudden utterance, his feet went limp, and he almost sat on the ground: "Hui'er, Yan'er, you, why are you here?"

"Cousin Lian," Lin Yan asked curiously, "Why are you hiding here?"

Lin Hui also looked at Jia Lian with a smile on his face: "I'll take Min'er to play on the deck for a while. I didn't expect my cousin to be so interested that he would nest here..." Shrugging his shoulders, Lin Hui said mischievously: "Appreciate landscape."

Jia Lian quickly smiled: "I'm planning to play with my two cousins!" Although Jia Lian was much older than Lin Hui and Lin Yan, they were the sons of Aunt Zi who treated him best when he was young, so Jia Lian is also willing to play with the two of them.

Lin Hui nodded, and before he could speak, he was amused by Lin Yan's words.

After hearing Jia Lian's words, Lin Yan tilted his head to look at Jia Lian for a while, and suddenly said seriously, "Cousin Lian, isn't he seasick now?" I have always been disgusted with Jia Lian, thinking that Jia Lian's health is really bad.Therefore, whenever Lin Yan sees Jia Lian, he looks concerned, and wants to feed Jia Lian all kinds of dark things that are so-called good for health, which makes Jia Lian feel apprehensive when he sees Lin Yan.In the end, it was Lin Hui who told Lin Yan that Jia Lian was not in poor health, but was seasick and did not seek medical treatment.That's all.This time on the boat, Lin Yan asked Lin Hai seriously: Will Jia Lian get seasick again.

Jia Lian froze for a moment, then shook his head quickly, hugged Lin Yan with a smile, and raised his hand: "I'm not dizzy anymore."

Jia Lian's behavior made Lin Yan laugh happily, and Lin Hui who was beside him couldn't help shaking his head: This little fat man, as long as he is willing to hug him, he is a good person.From now on, as an older brother, he should pay more attention to him, so as not to be sold by someone in his arms one day and happily help count the money!

A voice from the entrance of the deck made Jia Zi and Lin Hai turn their heads. Seeing Jia Lian happily hugging Lin Yan, Jia Zi raised his eyebrows with a smile, and then turned to Lin Hai: "Hey, tell me, that silly boy Do you know that you are going to be unlucky again?"

Lin Hai smiled and said: "Let's let him be happy for a while. After reading that letter, he should probably be so frightened that his legs are weak."

Here, Jia Zi and Lin Hai discussed whether Jia Lian would be frightened by what Wang Xifeng did; over there, in the Rongguo Mansion far away in the capital, there was another lively scene.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wang received a letter from her younger sister, the Xue Wang who married into the Xue family in Jinling, saying that she would arrive in the capital today.Therefore, early in the morning, Mrs. Wang sent her confidant Zhou Rui's family to pick them up.Originally, she wanted Jia Lian to pick him up, but Jia Lian had gone to Jiangnan and hadn't come back. She really had no one to choose, so she had to send Zhou Rui there.

In fact, Mrs. Wang also asked Jia Rong and Jia Qiang in Ningguo Mansion next door, and wanted them to come and pick up Aunt Xue and her two children: Xue Pan and Xue Baochai.However, since Jiazi left, Ningguo Mansion has been keeping its doors closed. Jia Rong and Jia Qiang have also followed Jiazi's instructions and have to go to the school to practice kung fu every day. Naturally, it is impossible to run errands for Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang's idea of ​​ordering Jia Rong and Jia Qiang fell through, and finally, the task of running errands fell on Zhou Rui.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Wang went to Rongqing Hall the same way, greeted Jiamu, talked with Jiamu, and coaxed Jiamu to be happy with everyone.It wasn't until the maids came to report that the man was coming soon, that Mrs. Wang stood up in a hurry.

Looking at Mrs. Wang's appearance, Jia's mother couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, I know you are in a hurry. Hurry up and pick her up."

"Thank you, mother." Mrs. Wang smiled and blessed Jia's mother: "My daughter-in-law and this sister have not seen each other for more than ten years, so I am a little anxious, but it makes my mother laugh."

"Okay," Mother Jia waved her hand and said with a smile, "I know you are filial. By the way, take the girls with you. After all, they are members of the Xue family and the four major families. Let everyone go together. By the way, someone brought me here and showed me."

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly, got up and took Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You to the gate, waiting to pick up Xue's mother and daughter.

After Jia Zhen's death, Jia Xichun was taken back to Ningguo Mansion by Jia Jing, and he never came here on weekdays.

As for Jia Min, Mrs. Wang also asked someone to deliver a letter to the Wei Mansion, asking her to bring Wei Ruoxun back today and wait to pick up Aunt Xue's family.It's a pity that Jia Min has already accepted the post from Mrs. Feng Tang, the general of the martial arts. He is going to Feng's mansion to enjoy the flowers, so he can't come here at all.

Therefore, even though the two from the You family were not pleasing to the eye, in order to make the team that picked up Aunt Xue less deserted, Mrs. Wang still brought the second sister You and the third sister You—besides, these two little hooves are one The gentle one and the spicy one won Jia's mother's liking.If she deliberately didn't take the two of them with her, wouldn't it make Jia's mother think of her.

The middle door of Rongguo Mansion opened wide, and Madam Wang led Aunt Xue's family in with a group of women.Mrs. Wang and the sisters haven't seen each other for many years. The first time they met, they were naturally very affectionate, crying and laughing, and introducing each other's children.

Seeing this situation, Wang Xifeng hurriedly took a step forward, and said with a smile: "Knowing that the two aunts haven't seen each other for more than ten years, I'm very excited. However, the ancestor in Rongqing Hall is still waiting!"

Mrs. Wang nodded quickly: "Yes, thanks to Brother Feng for reminding me. When we came here just now, the old ancestor told me that he wanted to see my sister, as well as my nephew and niece!"

A group of people hurried to Rongqing Hall again and met Jia Mu.Mother Jia has always liked young girls' homes, so when she saw Xue Baochai, she naturally liked Xue Baochai very much, and she held Xue Baochai's hand and talked a lot affectionately.Later, it was Wang Xifeng who came forward to remind her that Xue Pan and Xue Baochai had to go to see Jia Zheng, which made Jia's mother let Xue Baochai go.However, before Xue Baochai went to see Jia Zheng, Jia's mother made the decision and let Xue's mother and son live in Lixiangyuan where Jia Daishan lived in his later years.

After meeting Jia Zheng, Xue Pan was left behind, while Xue Baochai returned to Rongqingtang again, chatting and laughing with Jia Mu and others.Xue Baochai has a smooth personality, and with just a few words, he made Jia's mother very happy. He also chatted very well with Wang Xifeng, Jia Tanchun and others. Even Jia Yingchun, who has never had a sense of presence, smiled and nodded.Even the You sisters, whom Xue Baochai disliked very much, couldn't say business to Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai knew how to speak, and with Wang Xifeng making jokes, the Rongqing Hall was naturally full of joyful songs and laughter.It was at this time that Jia Baoyu lifted the curtain and walked in.When Aunt Xue's family came over, Jia Baoyu was not at home because he went to Qin's house.

On that day, Jiazi had Qin Zhong and Zhizhi tied back to the Qin family, and told the scene at that time.Seeing the blushing faces of Qin Zhong and Zhi Zhi, Qin Ye immediately understood what was going on.At that time, Qin Ye was pissed off by Qin Zhong: why did he give birth to such a bastard!His sister had just died a few days ago, how could he do such a shameless thing?

As for the person who dared to adopt the granddaughter of Prince Yizhong who was living abroad, he still had some decisive ability.Therefore, Qin Ye beat Qin Zhong half to death at that time, and tried to sell his intelligence to a brothel in another place.In Qin Ye's eyes, Qin Keqing is the granddaughter of Prince Yizhong, naturally noble and extraordinary, but Qin Zhong actually did such a thing during Qin Keqing's filial piety, a beating would be considered light.If one day this matter is turned over by the royal family, the consequences will be disastrous.

After Qin Ye sent Zhizhi away, Qin Zhong fell ill and kept screaming "Nenger, Nenger" every day. No matter how much medicine he took, he was not cured. Only when Jia Baoyu went to see him did he feel better. .Therefore, Jia Baoyu often went to see Qin Zhong.

In fact, Qin Zhong also asked Jia Baoyu to find a way to get his intelligence back.However, although Jia Baoyu sympathized with what happened to Qin Zhong and Zhizhi, there was nothing he could do about it: How could Jia Baoyu, who had always been raised like a daughter, do such a thing?

Besides, after what happened in Shuiyue Temple that day, Jia Baoyu was so frightened that he fell ill, so how dare he mention Qin Zhong and Zhizhi to Jiamu or Mrs. Wang again?Just to see Qin Zhong, he only goes out under the banner of going to Beijing Palace.

"Baoyu is back?" Mother Jia hugged Jia Baoyu and said happily, "Is the Beijing Palace fun?" Naturally, the servants around Jia Baoyu could not reveal Jia Baoyu's real whereabouts.Therefore, Jia's mother, including everyone in Rongguo Mansion, thought that Jia Baoyu went to the Beijing Palace.

Jia Baoyu smiled and nodded without thinking: "It's fun. The Prince of Beijing is a young talent, Baoyu really likes him! Old ancestor, I want to go to his place in the future, is it possible?"

When Jia Baoyu was talking to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "This Prince of Beijing, he admires our Baoyu very much. He and our Baoyu are good friends!" To show off, he actually compared Jia Baoyu and Beijing Jing Wang Shui Rong to brothers.

Aunt Xue nodded: "I have long heard that Baoyu was born from Hanyu. When I saw it today, it is really handsome. It seems that there will be great fortune in the future."

This is what Mrs. Wang likes to hear the most, and Aunt Xue's words are naturally very in line with her wishes.Immediately following Aunt Xue to show off Jia Baoyu's unusual features, and Aunt Xue deliberately flattered Mrs. Wang, the two of them naturally had a lively chat.

When Wang Xifeng heard Jia Baoyu's words, she pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, Baoyu, we really love you for nothing. Tell me, what good things does Beijing Palace have that attracts you to go there every day?"

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was immediately very nervous, and didn't know how to respond to it: Could he tell Wang Xifeng that there was nothing in the Beijing Palace that attracted him, and that it was Qin Zhong who really attracted him outside.

"You scumbag," Jia's mother pretended to hit Wang Xifeng, but her face was full of smiles: "You're talking nonsense, even my younger brother is joking, isn't it?"

"That's right, that's right," Jia Baoyu also said hastily: "Sister Feng will bully..." Jia Baoyu paused, and then he saw the girl sitting next to his mother: "Who is this sister? Why? I've never seen one."

Wang Xifeng waved to Jia Baoyu with a smile, and called Jia Baoyu over: "Baoyu, come quickly, let me introduce you to a sister."

After speaking, Wang Xifeng introduced Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu again, and the two sides greeted each other again.

Aunt Xue hugged Jia Baoyu intimately, and said with a smile, "My son, why do you look so good? If you don't know this, you might think it's a little boy from heaven who has descended to earth!"

That night, Mother Jia left Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, to have dinner at Rongqing Hall.After dinner, everyone talked together again.

Mother Jia naturally talked with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and others. Occasionally, Wang Xifeng made jokes, which made everyone laugh.As for Jia Baoyu, he slipped out of Jia's mother's embrace and squeezed Xue Baochai, Jia Yingchun, Jia Tanchun, Second Sister You, and Third Sister You to chat and laugh.

"Sister Bao," Jia Baoyu heard Xue Baochai's talk about jade appreciation, and asked curiously, "Have you ever had jade?"

Hearing such words, Jia Tanchun quickly winked at Xue Baochai, told Xue Baochai to be careful, and said a few nonsense words according to Jia Baoyu's words, and it was over to fool Jia Baoyu.After all, this kind of thing happened once before at Jia Zhen's funeral in Ningguo Mansion.

At that time, Jia Baoyu asked Lin Daiyu the same way, but Lin Daiyu sent her back with the word "no" coldly.Afterwards, Jia Baoyu went mad immediately, crying, making noise and smashing jade in Ningguo Mansion, which finally alarmed Jiazi.Jiazi also did a great job, so he directly asked someone to bring a bunch of tools over, threw them at Jia Baoyu's feet, and told him, "Smash it, don't sleep, don't eat if you don't smash it into powder."

Rice." As a result, Jia Baoyu was frightened, so naturally he didn't dare to cry anymore.

But Xue Baochai couldn't understand Jia Tanchun's intention.Therefore, Xue Baochai was stunned for a moment, thinking "what kind of jade", and then she realized with a smile: "Brother Bao, you mean the jade in your mouth in Luo Caoli, right? I have never had this before. Come to think of it..."

Xue Baochai originally wanted to praise Jia Baoyu a few more words and praise how extraordinary he is.However, Jia Baoyu has never been a person who plays cards logically.When he heard that Xue Baochai had no jade, and thought of Lin Daiyu who also had no jade, Jia Baoyu was stunned. He tore off the jade hanging from his neck, threw it on the ground, and cried, "This What kind of broken thing? My sisters and sisters don’t have it, not even a beautiful person like Sister Lin, wouldn’t it be a waste to put it on me..."

Jia Baoyu's crying attracted Jia's mother's attention.

Mrs. Wang was the first to rush over and hug Jia Baoyu, crying, "Baoyu, what are you doing?"

Even Jia's mother walked over quickly with the support of Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng.Seeing Jia Baoyu crying pitifully, Mother Jia said distressedly: "Baoyu, you..."

Several girls also gathered around quickly, trying to persuade Jia Baoyu with every word.

"Old ancestor," Jia Baoyu twisted her body hard, broke away from Mrs. Wang's hand, stepped on the psychic jade, and jumped a few times: "I'm dead. Why, why is it only me who is special?" ah……"

Mother Jia threw off Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng who were supporting her, rushed over and hugged Jia Baoyu into her arms, crying, "Baoyu, you are killing my ancestor..."

Mrs. Xing was thrown aside by Jia's mother, and when she almost fell, she felt someone gently helping her.Mrs. Xing turned her head and saw that it was Jia Yingchun who was always silent, like an invisible person.

Mrs. Xing nodded, and then saw a piece of bloody skin on Jia Yingchun's forehead, which was faintly dripping with blood.Mrs. Xing immediately thought of the situation just now. Jia Baoyu suddenly dropped the jade, and Jia Yingchun stood up, but was squeezed by Jia Tanchun, and then pushed by the Youshi sisters. Knocked to the corner of the table.

Taking a hard look at the crowd surrounding Jia Baoyu, Mrs. Xing felt enmity against these people.With the mentality of reciprocating, Madam Xing gently touched the skin next to Jia Yingchun's wound, and blew on Jia Yingchun's wound: "Does it hurt?"

Jia Yingchun was so frightened by Mrs. Xing's sudden action that she shook her head hastily, thought for a while, and said softly: "It doesn't hurt."

Sensing Jia Yingchun's shrinking, Mrs. Xing thought she hurt Jia Yingchun, and her resentment towards Jia Tanchun and the others deepened in her heart.Therefore, Mrs. Xing pulled Jia Yingchun's hand and said angrily: "Let's go home and see a doctor."

Mrs. Xing took Jia Yingchun away like this, but no one noticed, not even the maid beside Jia Yingchun noticed.

It was not until the end that Xue Baochai took out the golden lock that she carried with her that she coaxed Jia Baoyu well.

The author has something to say: Xue Baochai has finally entered Beijing, and this time the person who caused Jia Baoyu to throw the jade became her.How could there not be such a classic scene of Jia Baoyu throwing jade?As for why the You sisters are in Rongguo Mansion, everyone can guess!

Looking at the Langya list, it is almost written that Ningguo Mansion is Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

Jia Baoyu: I just remember eating but not beating, who can do anything to me

Jia Mu: Those who cause Baoyu to drop jade are not good things

Shui Rong: You use my banner every day, I am very angry, do you know

Jia Lian: Someone help me, my legs are weak

Lin Yan: Cousin Lian, are you seasick again?

Lin Yan: Come on, come on, let’s compare the two treasures, who has the bigger face
