[Red Chamber] Mrs. Lin replaced her

When Aunt Xue heard that Second Sister You was crying and saying that Xue Pan had been taken away by an officer, she immediately became angry.Without even thinking about it, she rushed over, slapped Second Sister You severely, reprimanded Second Sister You for her ulterior motives, and even watched Xue Pan being taken away.Then she sat down on the ground and wailed loudly, complaining that Xue Pan was pitiful and innocent, being framed, cursing Jiazi for being cruel and cruel, and blaming Wang Ziteng and Jia Zheng for being ruthless and selfish...

At the same time, Xue Baochai was also worried about how to rescue Xue Pan, and felt deep fear for her own future: the experience in Shuntian Mansion Prison may not have caused any harm to her body, but to her The psychological damage is enormous.She has always claimed to be a lady of everyone, but now she has become a big joke.

Xue Baochai is the daughter of the Xue family.Although the Xue family is a little weaker than the newly rising Zhen family, it can be regarded as a bully in the Jinling area. Coupled with the relationship between the Xue family and Wang Ziteng, and the Rongguo Mansion, this also caused Xue Baochai It was very popular in the circle of noble ladies in Jinling, and it became the first choice for many merchants in Jinling to marry their wives.This also made Xue Baochai very proud in his heart, proud of his talent and learning, proud of his family background, and even more proud of his invincibility.

It's a pity that everything that Xue Baochai is proud of is not worth mentioning in this capital where there are many nobles and dignitaries: the identity of a merchant woman has already crushed her in the mud-even though she always puts Xue's family in the mud. The ancestor who was casually named Ziwei Sheren by the Tai Zu put it in words to exalt his own background, but Ziwei Sheren was nothing more than an imperial merchant after all, and no one in Beijing would put it in his mouth. in the eyes.In the eyes of noblewomen in Beijing, the real ladies should be Lin Daiyu, Wei Ruoxun and others. Only with such background, appearance, and bearing can they be the real ladies and empresses of famous families.

It's just that Xue Baochai has always regarded himself very highly, and he refuses to admit it at all.She felt that compared to Lin Daiyu, Wei Ruoxun and others, she was only inferior to them in terms of background, and the rest, no matter in terms of poetry, songs, virtues, skills, or even appearance, talent, and vision, she was no worse than Lin Daiyu. , even better than them.Therefore, she has always had a comparative mind towards Lin Daiyu, Wei Ruoxun and others in her heart.But now, what face and qualifications does she have to compete with Lin Daiyu?

Thinking of Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai narrowed her eyes slightly, gasped heavily, and clenched her fists fiercely, obviously very angry: she never thought that the one who always had a faint smile, looked The kind and gentle little girl who is even a little bully would be so cruel and vicious to frame them... If it wasn't for Lin Daiyu at that time, how could she have been locked in the prison in Shuntian Mansion and become everyone's laughing stock?

Thinking of it this way, Xue Baochai unconsciously developed a trace of hatred for Lin Daiyu: Isn't Lin Daiyu afraid that her hypocritical face will be exposed in front of the public?Isn't she just relying on her background to be unscrupulous?She must tear off Lin Daiyu's hypocritical skin to make Lin Daiyu regret offending her, and she must make Lin Daiyu cry and confess to her and apologize to her—Xue Baochai swore to herself in her heart.

Xue Baochai has followed his father since he was a child, so it is naturally impossible for him to be completely brainless.She knows that if she wants to tear off Lin Daiyu's hypocritical skin, she must have status and strength.If she wanted to gain status and power, she could only enter the palace or marry into a powerful family.Now that her dream of entering the palace has been shattered, she can only find a way to enter a powerful family.Therefore, she must become the next mistress of the Duke's mansion—no matter how good Lin Daiyu is, her father is nothing more than a servant of the Ministry of Officials, and cannot be compared with the Duke of the country at all.

After thinking about this, Xue Baochai's eyes showed a trace of firmness, and his heart that had been hesitating all along became firm.

Originally, Xue Baochai still had a slight fondness for Lin Hui in his heart: Lin Hui was one of the best both in terms of background and appearance. When Xue Baochai accidentally met Lin Hui in Jinling, she had some girlish thoughts.Therefore, even though she knew that Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang were secretly discussing about wanting her to marry Jia Baoyu, and even made up rumors of a happy marriage, she was still wavering.

But what happened this time prompted Xue Baochai to make up his mind.Even though she doesn't have any affection for Jia Baoyu, even if she doesn't like Jia Baoyu at all, she must marry Jia Baoyu and become the future mistress of Rongguo Mansion: Jia Baoyu is the younger brother of the concubine in the palace. Even if Jia Baoyu is a waste, the future is guaranteed - this kind of guarantee can completely allow her to trample Lin Daiyu under her feet and return the humiliation she suffered yesterday.

However, Xue Baochai and even the entire Rongguo Mansion didn't notice that Jia Zheng is just a fifth-rank general, and this title is already the last generation.Therefore, in the future, there will be no Rongguo Mansion for Jia Baoyu to inherit at all-the Rongguo Mansion will not have a bloody battlefield, and they will use their illustrious military exploits to exchange them for a daughter with a plaque on the Duke's Mansion.As for the so-called imperial relatives, it is even more of a joke: if a concubine's family can be regarded as imperial relatives, then there are too many imperial relatives in this world?

Here, Mother Jia didn't want to see Mrs. Wang and the Xue family's mother and daughter and chose to avoid them. Mrs. Wang was chilled because of Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu's cold-blooded and ruthless, and Wang Xifeng hated Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter because of their indifference. , Aunt Xue was crying because Xue Pan was taken away, Xue Baochai made up her mind to marry Jia Baoyu, and Jia Baoyu wanted to see Lin Daiyu but couldn't leave the house...

People in Rongguo Mansion have their own thoughts, but they all stay in their own rooms and worry about each other. No one pays attention to the news that has spread and fermented in the capital, and has become a new round of attack targets by the censors, and has even spread to the new Rumors in the ears of the emperor.By the time they reacted and wanted to make amends, it was already too late.

On the other hand, after Jia Jing knew the truth about Lin Daiyu's illness and injury, he was furious: This Rongguo Mansion is simply deceiving people too much, and even dared to bully Jia Zi on the head. Does the patriarch of the clan pay attention to it?If he didn't let Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang shed a layer of skin, he would be sorry for their death.

Although Jia Jing wished to force Jia Zheng to divorce Mrs. Wang in the name of the patriarch.However, despite righteous indignation in his heart, Jia Jing also knew that as long as there was Jia Yuanchun in the palace, then Mrs. Wang, the birth mother of the concubine in the palace, would not be able to get rid of her: even if Wang Ziteng died suddenly, even if the Wang family was ransacked and beheaded. , she gave birth to Jia Yuanchun, a woman who is a villain, and Mrs. Wang can always stay in Jia's house—unless Jia Yuanchun died suddenly.

However, the corner of Jia Jing's mouth curled into a sneer that made Jia Rong and Jia Qiang huddle together: Even if Mrs. Wang couldn't get rid of him, he could make her take off a layer of skin fiercely, and there was no chance of turning over.Hmph, he just didn't find any evidence that Jia Zheng or Jia's mother was involved in this matter, otherwise, they could have been separated directly.However, with such a woman in Jia Zheng's family, and the Xue family and Wang family who are desperately holding back, the day when they will be separated is not far away.

Seeing the smile on the corner of Jia Jing's mouth, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang looked at each other, unconsciously feeling a little scared: It seems that this time, someone really stabbed the old man's heart.Thinking of what happened to Jia Jing in Jinling, both Jia Rong and Jia Qiang felt sorry for those elders in Jinling and that old man named Jin Cai.

"Grandfather," Jia Rong approached tremblingly, and carefully poured a cup of tea for Jia Jing: "Do you always have any troubles? If you have, you might as well tell your grandson. Grandson will help you solve it."

Jia Jing cast a disdainful glance at Jia Rong: "Just you kid? You'd better practice your martial arts well, and don't worry about adults' affairs."

"Grandfather," Jia Rong scratched her head and said with a flattering smile, "Don't look down on me! Grandson's current kung fu, let alone excellent, but the instructor also said that he has made great progress. Besides, grandson is now He is no longer a child, so he can naturally help grandfather share his worries."

Jia Jing was finally teased by Jia Rong and laughed: "You boy, you can talk. It's okay, I will deal with this matter myself. Hmph, I won't just let it go if I messed with Yu'er."

"Grandfather is right." Jia Rong fawned, "My grandson has heard from Uncle Hui that Aunt Lin's hand was scratched so long by the woman surnamed Wang." Jia Rong stretched out her hand and gestured. After a while, he continued: "Blood is still bleeding out slowly; besides, Aunt Lin's face is so pale that there is no blood at all...Grandfather, do you think that the woman surnamed Wang is relying on Wang Ziteng? That's why you dare to be so arrogant?"

Jia Rong added fuel and jealousy, unscrupulously provoking Jia Jing's hatred for Wang Xifeng: At the beginning, he just borrowed a screen from Wang Xifeng, but Wang Xifeng hurt him like a poor relative who beat the autumn wind. It was really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi , this time can be regarded as the time for him to beat the dog in the water.

Jia Qiang looked at the length of Lin Daiyu's wound that Jia Rong gestured to, and covered her eyes involuntarily: Is this brother stupid? Even if it's an exaggeration, you have to be close, right?According to the length of your gesture, Aunt Lin was not scratched on the back of her hand, but scratched from head to toe!

"Prince Teng is a fart." Jia Jing crossed his hips, with a look of disdain: "With Azi around, does he dare to speak up? When he sees Azi, is he not like a mouse meeting a cat? Hmph, He doesn't even have any military achievements, how dare he take charge of the Gyeonggi Camp? Pooh, I've never seen him so thick-skinned."

Jia Rong and Jia Qiang looked at each other: What do you mean?Could it be that Jiazi took care of Wang Ziteng's old things like a big cat took care of a little mouse?This kind of speculation made the two brothers who were despised by Wang Ziteng very happy: the old boy Wang Ziteng had been looking at the two brothers through his nostrils, and he acted like an insult to even say a word to his brother. The two have been unhappy for a long time.If Jiazi can really deal with Wang Ziteng... Well, it seems that he can: when Jia Zhen passed away, Jiazi cleaned up Jia Baoyu in the mourning hall. After Wang Ziteng found out, he didn't even dare to fart; At that time, there was no coquettish and overbearing expression, but it seemed that they were avoiding Jazi together.

"Grandfather," Jia Qiang said cautiously, "Didn't my aunt be very majestic when she was young?" Itchy, otherwise, what should I do if something happens after I fall asleep at night?

"What do you think?" Jia Jing said proudly, "It's not that I'm bragging to you. When Azi was young, she was really heroic. Among the children of the same age, there is no one who is more dazzling than her. You don't know Well, back then when she was in Beijing, there wasn’t even a single person in the capital who sold her body to bury her father and mother.” Thinking of Jiazi’s past, Jia Jing stroked his beard, and his squinted eyes revealed deep memories. A warm smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Jia Rong looked puzzled: "Why? Could it be that my aunt bought the little hooves for burying my father and mother?"

"Nonsense," Jia Jing slapped Jia Rong on the head pretending to be angry, and said amusedly, "Azi was not a kidnapper when she was a child, why did she buy so many maids? Sigh, no one taught you , no wonder you don’t know, today I will tell you about this..."

Listening to Jia Jing talking about how Jia Zi blasted away all the women with bad intentions in the capital under the banner of selling their bodies to bury their fathers and mothers, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang looked at each other. , said in unanimous agreement in their hearts: "I didn't expect that there would be so many sayings here. It turns out that those poor-looking little girls actually have so many fancy intestines? But it's true, how can there be a price of 50 taels or even more A hundred taels of silver? My allowance is only ten taels a month."

As for Jia Jing, after teaching brothers Jia Rong and Jia Qiang a lesson, he went straight into his study room, cleared a place among a pile of Taoist materials, and propped his head thinking about how to vent his anger on Jia Zi.

Jiazi naturally didn't know that his brother was planning to avenge him in every possible way.After a whole day of visiting patients, Jazi couldn't bear it any longer.Therefore, after discussing with Lin Hai, on the second day after Lin Daiyu pretended to be sick, Jia Zi directly took Lin Daiyu and her two sons to the hot spring villa, claiming to take Lin Daiyu to recuperate.

"Huh!" Jia Zi took a deep breath of fresh air, turned his head to look at Lin Hai beside him, and said with a smile, "It's finally relaxing."

Lin Hai, who specially asked for a few more days off, also nodded with a smile: "Well, there were too many people who came yesterday. I really wanted to thank the guests behind closed doors, but Wei Cheng and others have all come in, and no one else is allowed to enter. The mansion is not very good either. It is really hard for you. Of course, there is also Yu'er."

This is also what Lin Hai and Jia Zi didn't expect: If they had known that there would be so many people visiting Lin Daiyu yesterday, they would have asked people to close the gate and no one would be allowed in.However, when Jia Zi and Lin Hai reacted, a large number of visitors had already arrived, and it was too late for them to thank the guests behind closed doors, so they could only entertain all the visitors once.Even with the help of Wei Cheng, Jia She, and Jia Lian, and the help of Jia Min and Mrs. Xing, Jia Zi never liked to deal with those noble ladies, and Lin Daiyu wanted to lie on the bed and pretend to be weak, so she would naturally feel very uncomfortable. tired.

"Next time this happens again," Jia Zi said solemnly, "We must make adequate preparations and thank the guests behind closed doors. No one will be allowed in. Even my eldest brother and Xiao Min will not be allowed in."

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi with a funny face: "Do you still want to have a next time?"

"Just saying it casually, you are not stupid enough to take it seriously, are you?" Jia Zi stuck out his tongue, and quickly shirked the responsibility: She doesn't want to have a next time!Then, Jiazi seemed to suddenly think of something, and looked at Lin Hai and blinked ambiguously: "By the way, do you think Wang's this time is just saying that the evil man will have evil rewards?"

One night was enough for Jia Zi and Lin Hai to find out how the news about Lin Daiyu was spread, and also to find out to what extent Lin Daiyu's illness had been spread.Thinking of those people "cursing" Lin Daiyu in such a way, Jia Zi was so angry that he wanted to give all those who spread and spread such rumors a severe blow, and it would be best if he could not speak for the rest of his life; According to the rumors, Mrs. Wang's vicious and ruthless appearance made Jiazi laugh and roll in his heart: You deserve it, I let you pretend to be a good person all day, I let you pretend to be a Bodhisattva all day, all exposed now, right?

"It's just that." Lin Hai dismissed this, with a resentful look: "I just let her stay in Shuntian Mansion for one night. It's really cheap for her."

As soon as he thought that Mrs. Wang was taken out of the prison in Shuntian Mansion the next morning, Lin Hai felt very unwilling: it would be better to be locked up for 50 years!However, Lin Hai also knew that no matter who it was, they would not dare to lock up the concubine's biological mother like that.Therefore, Lin Hai could only let Jia Zheng get him out.However, what Lin Hai didn't expect was that in this way, he and Jia Zi became victims of the concubine's influence. Therefore, while everyone sympathized with Lin Hai and Jia Zi, the censors questioned Jia Yuanchun even more. deep.

"If she stays longer," Jiazi pouted, "my good grandmother should call the door. I'm not afraid of her making a fuss, but at worst, I'll send her to prison too. The point is that I'm afraid she will roll her eyes." ——If she gets excited and rolls her eyes when the time comes, then I will be in serious trouble." At the end, Jia Zi couldn't help laughing.

Lin Hai looked at Jia Zi, with the words "Really" written on his face: Listening to Jia Zi's meaning, why does Jia's mother seem to roll her eyes on purpose?

"What do you think!" Jiazi smiled and squeezed Lin Hai's chin: "Her, as long as the situation is not good for her, she will either beat her chest and call the Duke, or roll her eyes and faint. In short, if she rolls her eyes If it is in our house, then the two of us will cause trouble completely."

Holding Jiazi's hand, Lin Hai nodded lightly: Jiazi still makes sense.Not to mention that Jia Mu is over 70 years old, just based on Jia Yuanchun in the palace, if Jia Mu really rolls her eyes in her own home, then the couple will be really unlucky-although he and Jiazi has the means to turn defeat into victory and reverse the unfavorable situation; however, people in Rongguo Mansion have accidents in their homes one after another, even if they are victims, it will affect both him and Jiazi.

"That's why," Jiazi said in a positive tone, "It's a good thing she didn't go there yesterday. If she came to the mansion in the name of apologizing or visiting the sick, things would be really difficult! It's natural to say forgive I'm not reconciled, but let an elder say something to apologize, what good reputation can we two have? If we don't do it well, the matter will end like this. It's not like it is now, let Wang, Wang Xifeng, Xue Jia Both are thoroughly famous."

"It's notorious, naughty!" Lin Hai smiled and knocked on Jiazi's head: "If she, I mean your aunt, if she really went to the mansion to visit the sick yesterday, what would you do? Yes Forgive the Rongguo Mansion?"

Jia Zi looked at Lin Hai in disbelief: "How is it possible? My elder brother was also there at the time: Don't forget, my elder brother is the patriarch of the Jia family in Jinling. At that time, as long as my elder brother's patriarch puts on airs, she will still be majestic." What's the matter! Besides, there's me too, I can't help but make her twitch with anger."

Lin Hai thought about the fact that Jia Mu was often trembling with anger from Jia Zi, and nodded lightly: "Yes. If we forgive easily, they will think that we are made of mud..." Even though he said that, Jia Zi's absolute trust in Jia Jing in Jia Zi's words also made Lin Hai feel a little uncomfortable: He can also deal with Jia's mother, why didn't Jia Zi think of him?

Jia Zi naturally saw Lin Hai's slight discomfort, couldn't help but hugged Lin Hai's waist with a smile, and said in a low voice: "You said you, you are a gentleman, she is just an old lady who is good at relying on the old and selling the old, you are worthy to follow her." Is she common sense? When you quarrel with her, it will not be your own reputation? Don't point to reason with her. She naturally doesn't understand the meaning of the word reason. This kind of person, leave it to my elder brother. The patriarch is the most convenient and labor-saving to deal with."

But at this moment, the unreasonable old lady Jiazi was talking about just smashed the teacup in her hand to the ground: "Jiazi, how dare she!"

Beside Jiamu's legs, the maid Amber knelt there in fear, begging Jiamu to appease her anger.

Mother Jia panted hard to calm down her anger. Thinking of the rumors that "Jia Zheng connived Mrs. Wang to bully Lin Daiyu, causing Lin Daiyu to be injured and feverish, and even frightened", she still couldn't help shivering: The Rongguo Mansion is at a dead end—with such a vicious and abnormal mother, what good future can Jia Baoyu have?

Mother Jia may not care about Mrs. Wang, but Jia Baoyu is her lifeblood, so there cannot be any damage.Therefore, even though she didn't want to see Mrs. Wang in her heart, she still had someone call Mrs. Wang.

"Mother!" Hearing Mother Jia's call, Mrs. Wang hurriedly made her already haggard even more haggard, and then was supported by the maid to Rongqing hall.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's voice, Jia's mother, who was half lying on the recliner, didn't lift her eyelids. After a while, she said, "Mrs. Wang, you have gone too far this time."

Before, because Jiamu didn't ask, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to disturb Jiamu's rest on her own, so she could only kneel quietly aside.At this moment, Mother Jia finally spoke, but immediately said that Mrs. Wang was wrong.Mrs. Wang is naturally unwilling to bear the charge: "Mother, this matter..."

"Shut up!" Mother Jia overturned a big vase beside the recliner casually, and stopped Madam Wang's words: "Clean up, and take your good niece, sister, and niece with me to the Lin family later. , apologize to Azi and Yuer."

Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Mu in surprise, but she never thought that instead of venting her anger, Jia Mu asked herself to go to the Lin Mansion to apologize?Why?Obviously it was Jiazi who sent her to Shuntian Mansion Prison, but she didn't make any mistakes?Why is she apologizing?

If Mrs. Wang is a beautiful woman, then there may be some beauty in her round-eyed, unbelievable face.But now, in order to win Jia Mu's sympathy, Mrs. Wang, who is already quite old, has a pale and haggard face, coupled with the wound on her face caused by the flying vase fragments, she looks quite ferocious and terrifying.

As soon as Jia Baoyu came in, he heard Jia's mother say that he was going to Lin's mansion, and rushed over: "Old ancestor, are you going to see sister Lin? I want to go with you? Sister Lin is sick, and I haven't Go see her!"

Behind Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun clenched his fists: "It's like this again. I didn't see Jia Baoyu go to see her when she was uncomfortable before, so Lin Daiyu hates her the most."

"Sister Yun," Jia Baoyu ran over and pulled Shi Xiangyun over in order to avoid Jia's mother's disapproval, "Let's go to see Sister Lin with our ancestors. After you get to know Sister Lin well, you will definitely like Sister Lin very much." , okay?"

As soon as Jia's mother wanted Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu to persuade Lin Daiyu, it would be better to save Jiazi from making things difficult.So in the end she nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Baoyu and Yun'er will go with us."

The author has something to say: To clean up the Rongguo Mansion, it is natural for Jia Jing to take action

small theater:

Jiazi: If she dared to roll her eyes, I would jump on her and grab her by the skin, shouting 'Auntie, you can't die'

Wang Ziteng: Do I dare not avoid her?What would I do if she beat me up?Think I'm as shameless as the three Shijia brothers

Shi Xiangyun: Could it be that I am the legendary spare tire

Xue Baochai: Brother Lin will marry me
