[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

"What do you mean 'Is this the reason for the concubine'?" Jia Zi looked at Lin Hai with a puzzled face, and asked full of doubts: "What do they mean?"

Lin Hai also shook his head lightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued: "I haven't quite understood what they mean until now. It's just that the most popular concubine in the palace recently is..."

Even if Lin Hai didn't directly say the following words, Jia Zi understood: If the concubine who has been in the limelight in the past few days, it is naturally Jia Yuanchun from the Rongguo Mansion--the grand pomp and enthusiastic scene when Jia Yuanchun was visiting his relatives Now it is still talked about by the people in Beijing: Jia Yuanchun’s visitation day happened to be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The scene was naturally more lively than other concubines visiting relatives.

"That is to say," Jiazi frowned and thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "The evil monk came to the capital because of Jia Yuanchun's affairs. In other words, they were ordered by the Rongguo Mansion. You just went to Yangzhou to trouble us."

Jiazi had long believed that what the scarlet monk and the lame Taoist said in Lin's mansion were instigated by others.Before, she always thought that it was the head of the Yangzhou Prison or the illegal salt merchant who instigated them.However, she never thought that it would be the Rongguo Mansion who instigated these two people.However, if you think about how vicious they poisoned themselves and Lin Hai back then, and forced Jia Min to lose even the slightest will to survive, it's nothing to be able to do such a thing.

In this way, Jiazi can also understand why Lin Hai, who has always been extremely shrewd, will say such vague words as "I don't quite understand, I can't figure it out" this time: With Jiazi's fiery temper, if he knows about Rongguo Mansion He dared to curse his family like that, it must be impossible to let it go easily.She's definitely going to make a fuss.At that time, the scene will be ugly, and neither side will get any benefit.It is Jia Jing, the patriarch of the Jia clan who treats his younger sister Jia Zi as his daughter. Knowing that someone has cursed Jia Zi like this, he will directly copy the guy and take everyone in Ningguo Mansion to kill him and go to Rongguo Mansion to vent his anger on Jia Zi. .In this way, things will really make a big fuss.

However, the current Jia Yuanchun is a concubine after all, even if it is for his own face, the emperor will not let something happen to the Rongguo Mansion.Moreover, the emperor has always had the intention to take back the throne that he gave up when he was in a state of rage and unable to govern, and the declining noble families like the Rongguo Mansion are naturally the most important in his hands. Weight - the emperor is willing to give Jia Yuanchun some dignity, probably there is also a reason for this.Therefore, the emperor would never watch something happen to Rongguo Mansion.

This is also the reason Jazi slowly figured out.Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the emperor and concubine Xue Gui wanted to use Jia Yuanchun to design and restrain the new emperor, but was used by the new emperor. Well, it was so easy to die a little female history within that high wall, even if this female history came from a distinguished noble family.

Lin Hai hurriedly stopped Jia Zi, and said anxiously: "This is just my guess. In fact, there are several concubines visiting relatives in the womb these days, and those two people may not be talking about her." Of course, Lin Hai didn't say anything. What's more, the concubines of the other families and their natal families have no grievances with Jia Zi and Lin Hai, so they shouldn't curse those two so viciously.And Lin Hai hesitated all night, and finally decided to tell Jia Zi about this matter, but he wanted to remind Jia Zi to be more careful and guard against the Rongguo Mansion: it's not that the husband and wife can't provoke the Rongguo Mansion, but that they can't. It is necessary to fight hard with them.

"Fool." Knowing Lin Hai's intentions, Jia Zi hugged Lin Hai's waist with a smile, buried his head on Lin Hai's chest, and said softly, "You are such a nerd. I've been through a lot of battles..."

Listening to Jia Zi's description of himself, Lin Hai's slightly depressed mood was swept away, and he almost laughed outright.Gently stroking Jiazi's hair, Lin Hai laughed in his heart and said, "How can anyone describe himself like that."

Jiazi didn't know what Lin Hai was thinking, but continued to say in a low voice: "But, there has never been any serious disaster that cannot be repaired."

"Isn't sneaking onto the battlefield an irreparable disaster?" Lin Hai complained in his heart.However, thinking of the dangers on the battlefield, and the possibility that he would never meet Jiazi, Lin Hai couldn't help tightening his arms around Jiazi: He really couldn't imagine a life without Jiazi.

"Ruhai," Jiazi raised his head in Lin Hai's arms, "I have a big temper, but I'm not a fool who doesn't know anything. Don't worry. Even if those two people are really from the mansion Come here, I will not act rashly." I would only step on it secretly when the Rongguo Mansion was in danger, Jiazi added quietly in his heart.

Hearing Jiazi's sincere words, Lin Hai nodded lightly, lowered his voice and whispered in Jiazi's ear: "Don't worry, I won't let you and the children be wronged."

"Yeah." After pecking Lin Hai's lips quickly, Jia Zi let go of Lin Hai triumphantly: "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go to Qiu Liang's place first, and then go to Gingji Daying. You Hurry up and go to the Ministry of Officials too. By the way, if you see that demon monk acting evil again, you don’t have to be polite, just order someone to do it.”

Lin Hai licked his lips lightly, and said with a smile, "I'll send you to Wucheng Bingma Division first, and then go to the Ministry of Officials."

However, what was unexpected was that the evil monks and evil monks who were "mindfully" by Lin Hai and Jiazi seemed to have disappeared. People from Renwucheng Bingmasi and Shuntianfu searched the city secretly for a day, but they did not find any trace of them.In this way, Jiazi became more certain: someone must have instructed them to do this, and the person who instructed them behind the scenes was definitely not an ordinary person.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Hai gently poured Jiazi a cup of tea, pointed at the invitation that Jiazi had just sent, and asked gently.

"Since the post has been sent," Jia Zi looked at the post from the Rongguo Mansion in his hand indifferently: "Then I'll go and see what they want to do." In fact, Jia Zi knew that Jia Mu asked What did they do in the past? It was nothing more than to show off how resplendent the Rongguo Mansion’s provincial family villa was built, and to let Jiazi and the others know that even without them, Rongguo Mansion would be the same It is possible to build a magnificent family-saving villa.

Lin Hai knew that since Jiazi suspected that the monk was from the Rongguo Mansion, she would naturally find a way to find out.Therefore, Lin Hai didn't stop Jia Zi, but nodded with a smile, "I'll be with you when the time comes."

"You?" Jiazi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "No need, I can go alone. If you go, it will be too embarrassing for their family. If it doesn't work, I will ask She She to accompany me. You know, With him, the whole house will be turned upside down."

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi hesitantly: "You are alone..."

"Why, you don't believe me?" Jia Zi said indifferently, "Don't worry. No one in that mansion is my opponent, just that old lady, I was able to piss her off when I was young."

Lin Hai never doubted Jiazi's ability to deal with Jia's mother. He was only worried about Jiazi's temper, and he was afraid that Jiazi would be offended...

In the end, Lin Hai still clenched his fists: So what if there was a conflict between Jiazi and Rongguo Mansion? Could it be that Lin Hai was really afraid that Rongguo Mansion would fail?Even though the emperor regards the Rongguo Mansion as a bargaining chip to regain the imperial power, he can't do anything to Jiazi easily. After all, Jiazi controls the increasingly powerful Gyeonggi camp, and the emperor can no longer move as he wants.

Although Lin Hai did not accompany Jiazi to Rongguo Mansion in the end, Lin Daiyu and Lin Yan stayed by Jiazi's side: as a daughter, it is understandable for Lin Daiyu to accompany Jiazi, but Lin Yan vowed to protect Jiazi Zi and Lin Daiyu, not to be bullied by Jia Baoyu.

However, Jiazi did not expect that Mother Jia would invite so many people: not only her, but also Jia Min, Mrs. Xing, Youshi from Ningguo Mansion, Shi Nai's wife, Shi Ding's wife, etc. .

Seeing Lin Daiyu, Jia Baoyu, who had been nestling in Jia Mu's arms all the time, his eyes lit up, and he rushed down from his seat: "Sister Lin is here."

Aunt Xue looked at Jia Baoyu's enthusiastic expression, and her cheeks twitched: The story of the golden and jade marriage has spread widely, and everyone already knows about Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu, and Madam Wang has already promised her that Xue Baochai is the future treasure Second Mistress, who is Jia Baoyu slapping in the face with such a warm gesture towards Lin Daiyu?

After Lin Daiyu greeted Jia Mu and the others indifferently, she sat down with Jia Xichun and Wei Ruoxun, completely indifferent to Jia Baoyu's ardent enthusiasm, as if she hadn't heard the loud "Lin Daiyu" at all. Sister" in general.

Lin Yan made a face at Jia Baoyu, and then waved his little fist.Its intention is self-evident: if Jia Baoyu is dishonest again, he will be beaten again.

Seeing Lin Yan's undisguised threat, Jia Baoyu shrank his neck, because he didn't have the guts to stretch out his hand to pull Lin Daiyu.Although Lin Yan was young, his strength was really strong, and he spared no effort when beating Jia Baoyu. Jia Baoyu, who had already suffered several losses in this regard, naturally did not dare to try again.

Although Lin Yan made a threatening move, but he is still young after all, and Jia Baoyu is next to him for comparison. Naturally, it is easier to win the favor of all the girls present, not to mention that there is also Jia Baoyu who likes Lin Yan even more. Min, Mrs. Xing, Youshi and so on.Of course, except for Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue.

Mother Jia also saw Lin Yan's actions, and she couldn't help but think of Jia Baoyu's servant Li Gui crying about how Jia Baoyu was bullied in Lin's residence. They didn't pay attention to their Rongguo Mansion or Jia Yuanchun in the palace.

Thinking of this, Jia's mother narrowed her eyes slightly, forgetting Jia Yuanchun's exhortation "Don't offend Jiazi", she said in a calm tone, "Azi, this child is..."

"Auntie," seeing Jia Mu staring at Lin Yan's changing expression, Jia Zi knew what Jia Mu was going to say, and quickly interrupted Jia Mu's words: "There is one thing you may not know, our family's old ancestor In the eyes of some people, the narrow escape on the battlefield is worthless at all. Some people say that those military commanders of them are only showing off their blood and bravery, and they are just trying to gain fame. Even if they are uncles, they blocked... One knife is simply his own incompetence." As he spoke, Jia Zi cast a sidelong glance at Jia Baoyu.

As soon as Jia Zi said these words, the faces of all the women present changed: except Youshi and Mrs. Xing, the other women were all from the families of generals, and most of them were married to generals.Therefore, such remarks are naturally insulting to their proud background and husband-in-law.How could they endure such humiliation?

Hearing Jia Zi's words, even Jia's mother became angry, and instantly forgot the thought of wanting to teach Lin Yan a lesson, but patted the chair under her angrily: "What? Who the hell is that?" How dare you say such a thing? Azi, hurry up and tell me who that person is? I want to see which uneducated brat dares to belittle our family’s Duke.” If Jiazi It was only about the ancestors of the Jia family or military generals. Mother Jia might not be so angry, but she took Jia Daishan directly, and the result was different.

Jia Min also squeezed the cup in her hand tightly, and uncontrollable anger welled up in her eyes: her father saved the emperor with his own life, so it turned out that in the eyes of others, he was actually an incompetent person...

Just when the atmosphere in the room was getting more and more depressed and everyone was very angry, Lin Yan suddenly pointed at Jia Baoyu with a naive look: "Isn't that what Baoyu's cousin said; he also said that all the officials They are all idlers!" Lin Yan's concise words were slightly embellished, but Jia Baoyu directly offended everyone in the room.

Lin Yan's words drew everyone's attention to Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu's obsessive look at Lin Daiyu made people even more disappointed: just such a thing, dare to satirize their father and husband, if it is not because of He was born in Rongguo Mansion and died hundreds of times.

Jia Baoyu's gaze was always on Lin Daiyu, and he didn't know when he became the focus of everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?" Realizing that everyone's eyes were on him, Jia Baoyu couldn't help being a little surprised: He didn't do anything, why did everyone look at him like that?

Jia Xichun, who was talking softly to Lin Daiyu, rolled his eyes unceremoniously: "Auntie and the others are talking about generals who died on the battlefield..."

Jia Baoyu looked suddenly enlightened, and muttered in a low voice: "A group of national thieves and ghosts, what can I do..."

"Baoyu," sensing the anger of the crowd, Mrs. Wang quickly interrupted Jia Baoyu, and shouted sharply: "You are a child, what are you talking nonsense about after hearing other people's rumors?"

"That's not true." Jia Zi nodded lightly, not paying any attention to Mrs. Wang's pointing words: "In other words, if any family has such descendants, it is really unfortunate for the family. Isn't this forgetting the ancestors? Second Mrs. Shi , Do you think what I said is right?" Jiazi said, and turned to Shi Nai's wife, with a questioning tone: She didn't believe that Shi Nai's wife dared to stand on Jia Baoyu's side.

Mrs. Shi Nai, who was suddenly named by Jiazi, gritted her teeth fiercely: "Azi is really right. If it was my child, I would beat him to death as soon as he was born. I can't let him go out and lose us. Master's face." How could Mrs. Shi Nai fail to see that the words Jia Zi just relayed must have been said by Jia Baoyu.

Listening to Mrs. Shi Nai's full-fledged words, Mrs. Wang's eyes twitched slightly: "Children are ignorant, just teach them well, how can they beat them to death if they keep their mouths open!"

Mrs. Shi Ding sneered in her heart: As for Jia Baoyu's persistent appearance, it's better to beat him to death.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the hall was not right, Jia Mu hurriedly interrupted with a smile: "Look at my memory, I invite you all to come, but I invite you to visit the garden. Azi, from Shi Nai's family, from Shi Ding's family , You haven’t seen this garden yet, let me tell you, it’s not that my wife is boasting, my wife has lived to such an age, she has never seen such a beautiful garden! How about, let’s take a look together.” Jia The meaning of the mother is also very obvious: everyone should visit the garden, and don't talk about other things.

Naturally, the two wives of the Shi family had nothing to object to, so Jia Zi also stood up and walked towards the Xingqin's villa with everyone.

"What's going on?" Jia Zi rushed to Jia Min in confusion, "Isn't that the concubine's family's family home in that garden? Can anyone just go in here?"

"It is said," Jia Min said softly after looking around and no one was paying attention, "It was the concubine who said that such a big family-saving villa is empty, so it is better to open it to the girls in the mansion. Therefore Mother has ordered Baoyu, Tanchun, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, You Sanjie, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng to live in the garden together."

Thinking of Jia's mother's proud tone when she mentioned that Jia Baoyu lived together in the garden, Jia Min couldn't help but want to say something absurd: She didn't even look at how old Jia Baoyu was, how could she live with the girls— — Isn't she afraid of accidents?It's just that she might say such things before, but now she doesn't care about anything: the left and right parties don't care anymore, so why should she be this "bad person"!

"Live together?" Jiazi twitched his eyebrows slightly, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "Isn't that lively?"

Jia Min glanced at Jia Zi, and said to herself, "When she lets your Yu'er move into the garden, I think you'll stop talking like that."

"Xiao Zi," Jia Min looked at Jia's mother in front of him, and said softly, "What else did he say?" This he, of course, was referring to Jia Baoyu.

Thinking of Jia Baoyu's desire to join Lin Daiyu and other girls but being afraid of Lin Yan's fist, Jia Zi curled his lips in disdain, and directly told Jia Min all the things he had asked Lin Hui and Lin Yan.

"He..." Hearing Jia Zi's report, Jia Min was also extremely angry.However, looking at the strangely calm Jiazi, she suddenly laughed: "Hmph, I also really want to know, is my sister-in-law dead fish eyes?"

Jiazi nodded with a smile: "I guess so."

"By the way," Jia Min pursed her lips, held Jia Zi's hand, and said in a low voice, "Do you know that two strange people came to the capital recently: one of them is a monk, and the other is Taoist priest."

Jiazi's thoughts moved: "Monk? Taoist? What kind of monk and Taoist?" Jiazi never expected that Jia Min would suddenly bring up the topic of monks and Taoists. ?Where did she meet them?Was it after entering the mansion?

"That monk is a big lame," Jia Min said in a disgusted tone, "The Taoist priest is lame."

Jia Zi grabbed Jia Min's hand and asked anxiously, "Where did you meet them?"

"You know them too?" Jia Min grasped the meaning of Jia Zi's words sensitively, and asked curiously, "How do you know them?"

"Answer my question first." Jia Zi frowned slightly, and showed a rare strong posture when facing Jia Min: "When and where did you meet them? What did they say?"

Jia Zi's serious look made Jia Min involuntarily serious: "I met them on the way here today. They talked about something wrong for a long time around me, but they didn't say what was wrong."

"What's wrong?" Jiazi frowned involuntarily: "What exactly do you mean?"

"Little Zi," Jia Min took Rajazi's hand and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? What happened? Have you ever seen that monk or Taoist priest?"

Jia Zi looked at Jia Min, hesitated for a moment, then approached Jia Min, and said softly: "I saw them when I was in Yangzhou a few years ago. At that time, they also said some very strange things and did some very strange things. Strange thing. These days, I have been looking for them everywhere." In order not to make Jia Min feel guilty or ashamed, Jia Zi did not tell Jia Min that she and Lin Hai suspect that the evil monk and evil ways are inextricably linked to the Rongguo Mansion. thing.

"If I knew you were looking for them," Jia Min pursed her lips, "I asked someone to stop them. By the way, what are you looking for?" Jia Min was slightly curious: Could it be that the monk and The Taoist also came to Jazi, so did they say anything to Jazi?

"I have some personal matters to settle with them." Jazi said through gritted teeth.Seeing Jia Min still very puzzled, Jia Zi clenched his fists: "How dare they curse me and Lin Hai."

Jia Min was taken aback by Jia Zi's words: "You bastard. That monk and Taoist priest are too bold..." Jia Min never imagined that the sloppy monk and the lame Taoist priest would have the courage to curse Jia Zi and Lin Hai.If she had known earlier, she would not have let those two people go easily.

Mother Jia turned her head curiously: "What monks and priests?" Just now, out of surprise, Jia Min didn't control the volume well, so the voice also reached the ears of the people in front.

"It's nothing," Jia Min explained with a smile when Jia Zi squeezed his hands secretly, "I and Xiao Zi just talked about the deception of monks and priests in other places, saying that they used mud balls as elixir to save lives!"

Jia Min said it as if it was true, which surprised Jia Zi slightly: she almost believed it.

"Talk about the monk's prescription," Aunt Xue interrupted suddenly, "it's not all a lie. Back then, my Baochai's health was not good. No matter how many doctors I visited and how many precious medicinal materials I ate, it didn't improve. Later , I still met a monk with a scarlet head and gave a fairy prescription from the sea, which was also effective. After Baochai took it, it was much better." Xu said that at the end, Aunt Xue realized that she said this, as if she was right. Xue Baochai was unfavorable, so he hurriedly ended the topic.

The author has something to say: How could Jia Baoyu's theory of "the country's thieves and ghosts" that is so hated by people not be known?
