Jia Min of the Red Chamber is very arrogant

The two masters, Liao Yin and Liao Yuan, spent a few days in Jia's mansion and then went back to Suzhou.When Jia Min visited Panxiang Temple again, the little nun came out and said, "Master and uncle have passed away." Jia Min was taken aback and asked for details.

The little nun said again: "The master said, if Mrs. Lin comes, let us tell Mrs. Lin, thank you for your success. The master said the fate, it is the destination. So they went back." Jia Min sighed, I thought: the combination of cause and condition is "recognized cause and condition".This may be God's will, otherwise, because the master is so good, he suddenly came to Suzhou from Guanyin Nunnery in Beijing?

Jia Min recited scriptures for Jiamu for half a month in Panxiang Temple, and then returned with alms and went to Suzhou to observe filial piety.Because the whole family is filial, but they did not accept Bai Leshui's invitation to take the family to Xiaopenglai.

But in Jia's mansion, Baoyu took the medicine prescribed by Daiyu, and it seemed like a day.He remembered some things from the past, and some things he didn't remember.Baochai told him all the things that had happened in these years. Baoyu herself remembered some of her absurd behaviors before.

In the past in the Rongguo mansion, the maid beside Baoyu, Baoyu's favorite was Qingwen.After going south, Jia's mother also began to reflect on her previous mistakes, so she naturally disciplined Qingwen's family strictly.Qingwen gradually calmed down the temper of the deputy lady in those years, and now she has promised someone, and she will go out to marry someone after Jiamu's filial piety.

Xiren, who was the first to have an affair with Baoyu, has now been sold to Xue's family as a girl.Baoyu recalled that when he was only in his early tenth year, he secretly had sex with Xiren, and now that Xiren was sold to Xue's house, he felt a little embarrassed when he saw Baochai's dignified and demure.After a long while, he asked, "How is the Xiren next to Big Brother?"

Baochai was overjoyed at Baoyu's recovery. She no longer cared about the girl who had a different relationship with Baoyu in the past, and asked Baoyu, "What do you ask her? Do you think of her well, or do you think of her badly?"

Seeing that Baochai was vigilant, Baoyu smiled and said, "I just asked, because she has served me for many years, and now she is at Brother Xue's house. It is also fate. Whether she is good or bad, it will have nothing to do with her in the future."

Baochai looked at Baoyu for a long time and said, "The former mother wrote to say that the attacker is gone." It turned out that when he was still in Rongguo Mansion, it rained heavily on the first day of Duanyang that year, and Baoyu's maids closed the yard door to play. But no one heard Baoyu knock on the door.When Xiren went to open the door, Baoyu had already been drenched in water.Baoyu was so angry that he didn't see who opened the door, so he kicked Xiren in the ribs.This kick was really ruthless, and the attacker vomited blood on the ground.

People in the world often say that a young man vomits blood, and his life will not be guaranteed. Since then, Xiren has been more expensive than others, and his fingers are not touched by the spring water. It is also unbearable.In the past, it was good to have Baoyu to protect her as a deputy lady. Later, after her family redeemed her and hired her to Jiang Yuhan, Xiren suffered a lot of crimes. Later, she was sold to Xue's family. Aunt Xue, Xue Pan's mother and son were all angry with her. Shou, after Baochai and his wife went south, Xiren died within a few months.

Baoyu exclaimed, stunned for a while, Fang said: "Soon after we parted, why did they disappear? It can be seen that life is short, but we should cherish the time, otherwise I don't know when it will disappear, but I will live up to this world."

Baochai thought that Baoyu was about to go crazy again, and was startled.Now, after hearing Baoyu's words, he just sighed with emotion, and he was really different from the past, so he was very happy in his heart.

Although Baoyu is getting better, she is not as crazy as she used to be, but after all, she was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, and she is not used to coarse food. Now, although Jia Amnesty has not returned to the north, after all, Madam Wu doesn't care about the affairs of the second wife, and Tanchun is married. Jia Huan supports Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou.Baochai and his wife lived by themselves with a portion of the ladder given by Jia's mother.If De Baoyu continues to squander like this, and the family has no income, it is still not a solution.

After a few months of this, Baochai never saw Baoyu being crazy again, and after careful consideration of his words, he persuaded Baoyu, "Second Master is the head of the family. How our family will live in the future, Second Master must have a charter." .”

In Baoyu's study room, he lit some fine incense, and was writing on rice paper with fine Hui ink. Hearing this, he tilted his head and looked at Baochai and said, "How else can I live? Isn't it good now? Although our cook It’s not bad, but the tea bowls and dishes are a bit rough. It’s better to buy a set from Ru Kiln, Cheng Kiln, or Xuan Kiln. This house is also spacious, but the utensils in the house are a bit old..."

After Baoyu's words, Baochai was taken aback when he heard it. What time is it now? How can we stand up to the rich clothes and fine food in Rongguo Mansion? When did Man say that the mansion in the capital city has been confiscated, and there is no money left. It is the idea that the old lady gave us, and if you use the method like the second master, I am afraid that it will be poor within a year or two."

Baoyu was taken aback when he heard this, he only thought about how to live a comfortable life, he was not imprisoned after being convicted, and Jia Min helped him, even when he was locked in Rongguo Mansion, good things kept him close first, so he really didn't know the hardships of the world .Baochai only thought that Baoyu had just recovered from his dementia, and was afraid of irritating him. Therefore, a few days ago, although he told the family affairs slowly, he did not tell Baoyu about the donation.Now, after hearing Baochai's words, he asked Baochai, "How expensive is a set of porcelain, how much money do we have left, and how much our family spends a year? Tell me slowly."

When Baochai heard this, seeing that Baoyu was not insane, he breathed a sigh of relief, and took rough paper to write to Baoyu one by one.The column on the left is the price of brown rice, coarse cloth, etc. used by ordinary people for chewing, and the column on the right is the price of Baoyu's daily expenses. Baoyu looked at them and asked how much money was left at home.In addition to her own dowry and the concealment that Jia's mother secretly gave herself, Baochai also told about the family situation one by one.

Baoyu frowned again when he heard this, and looked down again, when he saw that a piece of high-quality silk and a set of porcelain were enough for ordinary people to chew for several years, and the incense he made was enough for a family for half a month, and he used it on weekdays. Those pens, inks, papers and inkstones are also a big expense of the family, and the other people added up to not spend as much as himself. Fang Rumeng woke up and said to Baochai: "Why didn't sister tell me earlier?"

Baochai lowered her head and said nothing, but Ying'er couldn't bear to watch, and interjected, "Why didn't our grandma tell Erye what Second Master said. Never before did Second Master show his face to grandma at the very beginning. Turning around and leaving is still light, and it’s not once or twice that she often scolds the second grandma for her clean and innocent daughter to imitate the traitor of the country.”

Baochai sees that Baoyu will be better, afraid that Yinger's words will be too harsh and irritate Baoyu, so she glares at Yinger.

Baoyu listened to Yinger's words, recalled his actions that day, and could not help but bow his head in shame: "I will use whatever you use in the future. In the past, I only regarded as good pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which were only one or two times more expensive than crude ones. , I didn’t think it would be a profit of ten times and a hundred times. Although these crude objects are not usable, I am afraid that after a long time, I will get used to them. If no one else can use them, I won’t be able to use them.”

After Baochai heard this, she thought that since she got married, she had been thinking so hard and calculating all the time, and nothing went well.But now Baoyu forgave herself a little, and then she felt relieved and shed tears.The tears became more and more violent, and she couldn't stop, until she burst into tears later, crying out all the grievances of these years.No one can persuade it.

Baoyu persuaded him for a long time, remembering that he had never eaten anything but delicacies from mountains and seas, and never worn silk and satin unless he had worn silk and satin.It was later that Beijing and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China firmly grasped the restrictions, and they were full of complaints when they wore silks and satins for official use.It was only a few days since he was convicted, everyone was terrified, no one cared about himself, and he wore real civilian clothes for a few days.After going south, it is good to be tight to myself again.Therefore, I don't know that the world is difficult at all, but whenever someone comes to me and says something related to the economy, I open my mouth and call them vulgar, powerful, and indecent.Looking at it today, it turned out that he was actually "why not eat minced meat?" Emperor Hui of Jin generally didn't know the sufferings of the world, and the world was hard.

Baoyu thought about it for a long time, and seeing that Baochai was still crying, he sighed again: "Sister, stop crying. I was wrong before. In the future, sister will tell me more about the expenses at home. I will also learn to save money. I can last a few more years." Baochai was more than a year older than Baoyu, and after they got married, Baoyu called Baochai her elder sister.

After hearing this, Baobaochai stopped crying and said: "Just saving money, you always have to sit back and eat, and don't take over. Now that we have some savings, the second master also wants to learn some economics. I beg the third master to show you some places to buy." It is a good way to buy a good property and have income. There is an aunt at home to take care of it. No one bullies our family. One is not as good as the second master, the second master studies hard, but he can't take the imperial examination, he will come to the academy to be a teacher to receive a scholarship, and the family will also benefit from it."

It turned out that Jia Mu had been going south for several years. Although there were people to take care of her, it was inevitable that Jia Huan was the only one to handle the outside affairs.Jia Huan was already full of tricks. In Rongguo Mansion, everyone hated his mother and daughter, and he could coax Caiyun to steal things from Mrs. Wang's room for him, which shows that he is capable.Therefore, buying property and dealing with people outside is a hundred times better than Baoyu. Baoyu is afraid of being deceived when he goes out to buy property. If Jia Huan goes with him, it will be safe.In this regard, Jia Amnesty is still inferior to Jia Huan.

Baoyu bowed his head and pondered for a long time after hearing this, and said: "I didn't know that our family would have difficulties. It was inevitable to be left-handed in doing things. I have neglected my studies for many years. Now I am 20 years old. I don't know if I can learn well. If I can read good books, I will let it go." I don’t know if I don’t read well, I’m afraid I’m going to mislead my children, so I don’t dare to be a teacher. I just try my best. If I don’t do well, please don’t blame me. Ask me."

After hearing this, Baochai was already satisfied, and hurriedly nodded.As long as he is no longer like the profligate family and property that required expensive food and clothing in the past, Baochai will be satisfied long ago, so it doesn't matter whether he has the ability to be a teacher again.

After the filial piety of Jia Mu, Baoyu really went to school and started to study hard.He had excellent aptitude, although he was neglected at an early age, but he changed his past and improved very fast.Because of Baoyu's status as an official slave, he couldn't take the imperial examination before he left his nationality, which is a pity for Mr. Baoyu.Baoyu didn't care too much. Apart from being serious about learning, he also copied books for others in the academy to earn some silver to supplement his family.

Jia Huan also didn't care about Mrs. Wang's harsh treatment of his mother and son in the past, and wholeheartedly found some properties for Baoyu and his wife that were safe, safe and low-risk, and bargained to buy them in person.Before Baochai came out of the cabinet, she helped Xue Pan take care of the business, except that Jia Huan was required to help when buying properties. Over the next year, the life of Baoyu and his wife is still passable.

Unexpectedly, life at home will be better, and Sheyue and Qiuwen gradually become irrelevant again.

Sheyue and Qiuwen were able to retreat completely when Mrs. Wang was taking care of the girls in Baoyu's room. They could not only avoid the suspicion of attackers, but also avoid Qingwen's sharp edge. How could they be good friends?Two years ago, seeing their family sitting and eating, the two spent a lot of time trying to please Jincai and his wife in private. They only wanted Jincai to be acquainted with the land, so that they could find a young man from a wealthy family to accompany him. .Seeing that life at home has improved in the past two years, the two of them started thinking about being aunts again.

Although Baoyu is not as ignorant of the hardships of the world as before, it is not easy to survive, but he is much more sensible.But after all, he has been in love with Qiuwen and Sheyue for many years.Although Baochai is the main wife, there is a faint three-legged rivalry between Baochai and Sheyue Qiuwen.Baochai originally wanted to get rid of the two musk moon and autumn patterns together, but she was afraid of causing Baoyu's illness.So it was necessary to express my intentions to Baoyu.

Baoyu thinks that Musk Moon and Qiu Wen have been in her house since they were young, but she somewhat protects Musk Moon and Qiu Wen.Now that Baochai wants to send them away, she said angrily, "Now the girl in my family is only half a month's worth, and I try my best to make money to subsidize the family. You are not enough. Now the two of them are also servants of officials. What good prospects are there for sending them out? If you find a bad master, you will end up assailant, you must send them away, and I will be as cheap as before, you can decide for yourself which value is worth it."

Although Baoyu has also experienced the world, he does not understand the intrigue in the inner courtyard of the deep house.He just wanted to give Sheyue and Qiuwen a way to survive, and had no intention of bringing them into the room, so naturally he didn't see their careful thinking.After hearing this, Musk Moon and Qiu Wen became more confident.Baochai knew that Baoyu treated Xiren differently in the past, and when Baoyu mentioned Xiren who died in her natal family, her momentum weakened first, and she did not dare to send the two of them head-on, so she could only plan secretly.

But Baochai saw that life at home was about to get better, so she didn't want to have a whole house of concubines in her room anyway.So I whispered to Musk Moon: I only promoted you and Qiuwen, and I also promoted Yinger.You also know that now the second master is an official slave. Although he is taken care of by his aunt's family, it doesn't hinder anything on weekdays, but before the amnesty, he can't act publically.Uplifting the two people in the room is already the maximum, even if I want to keep you and Qiuwen, there is nothing I can do.

Then he quietly said this to Qiu Wen.

After hearing this, Sheyue thought to herself: Yinger is next to Baochai, so she naturally wants to occupy a place. As expected, she and Qiuwen can only keep one, so she should be more careful about Qiuwen.Autumn pattern is also a general idea.The two were originally on the same front, but now they are separated.

Sheyue and Qiuwen confronted each other for a while, then came back to it again, and supported each other again to separate Baochai and Yinger.This year Baochai was pregnant, and Sheyue and Qiuwen privately urged Ying'er to say, "Look at the second grandma's belly is so big that even the doctor said that the pregnancy is not good. If there is an accident, we both persuade the second master to help her." Your positive.

Ying'er had been with Baochai since she was a child, and Ying'er often pushed behind her back when a golden and jade marriage was said. Said a pass.But now that Baochai is pregnant, and it's really a bad pregnancy, Ying'er can only hide it from Baochai, and no one cares about Sheyue and Qiuwen for the time being.

Sheyue and Qiuwen think they have a plan, seeing that Baochai is getting closer and closer to giving birth these days, they have already thought of a sinister idea.

She also said that Baochai knew that she was in danger this time. He heard that there was a very famous stable woman named Qiao in Jinling, so she was afraid that her status was too low to invite her.Autumn Wen and Sheyue's affair with Ying'er was also intentionally let Baochai overhear. Baochai didn't dare to trust Yinger very much, so Baochai had to ask Mrs. Wu herself.

Although Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Wang have always had a rift, Mrs. Wang has been dead for many years, and Jia's mother is the most eccentric, but when returning the owed money, her own house made a mistake and earned 12 taels for nothing, so Mrs. Wu put aside her past grievances long ago.

After hearing Baochai's words, Mrs. Wu said, "If you want me to say, I blame you for being too accommodating to Baoyu. If you don't do your duty, how can you not send her away if she refuses to let her go? Since you are the mistress, the rules that should be established must be Stand up. You see, your uncle is also a housekeeper. No matter how much he collects, who dares to climb on top of my head? Now that you are full-term, don't worry about the girl in advance, so that you can have a baby yourself reason.

Originally, after the old lady passed away, each room was divided into ladders to live in the fields, and I can no longer control you.But for the sake of the descendants of the Jia family in your stomach, I have been walking around your room a lot these days, and I think those girls dare not do anything wrong.As for Mrs. Qiao, it is said that she is acquainted with the aunt's house, so I send someone to invite her, and I'm afraid she will also come for the sake of the aunt.Mrs. Qiao's technique is excellent, even if she has a slightly bad mood, you don't have to be pessimistic. "

Baochai had already written the letter, packed up her dowry and the ladder that Jia's mother had given privately, and quietly entrusted it to Mrs. Wu, saying that she was weak because she had passed this test. If she didn't, Baoyu would help no matter which girl she wanted I was not at ease when I came up, and I asked Madam Wu to take care of her child Yunyun.There are also letters to Jia Min and Xue Biao, which are also temporarily entrusted to Mrs. Wu.With the care of these relatives, I feel a little relieved.

In order to let Baochai wait for the delivery with peace of mind, Mrs. Wu had to accept the gift from Baochai for the time being.Thinking of her as a young daughter-in-law, she doesn't even trust the girls around her, and it's pitiful for her to pack her things with her stomach full, so she really sent someone to invite Mrs. Qiao, and he sent the girl to talk to Baochai's room from time to time.

Mother Jia's filial piety, Jia She and his wife have been filial piety for three years, and they have not yet reached the filial piety period, so she herself does not go to Baochai's house very much, for fear of collision.

Mrs. Qiao got the true biography of Mrs. Zheng, who was the most stable in Jinling back then. The first thing she emphasized was benevolence and righteousness. Naturally, she only cares about saving lives and does not care about her family background. Baochai was too worried.In addition, for Jia Min's sake, Mrs. Qiao was not indifferent.After hearing this, I asked my mother-in-law to finish speaking, packed my bags and rushed to Jia's mansion.

At this moment, Baochai has already started to mobilize. Because of the abnormal fetal position, she is crying out for pain. The birth canal has also opened, but there is no sign of showing her head.Sheyue and Qiuwen, who boiled and served hot water, walked at a leisurely pace, and only Yinger ran diligently when she was calling.It's really bad for Mrs. Wen to see Baochai's fetus, and she has already asked Baoyu whether to protect the elder or the younger.If I want to keep the big, I am not sure, if I want to keep the small, I am afraid there is still a way.The army is in turmoil, and we can't fight. Before Baoyu can reply to Mrs. Wen's words, it has been reported that Mrs. Qiao has arrived.

Fortunately, although Baochai was late to ask Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Qiao will catch up in the end.When Mrs. Qiao came in, she didn't say anything else. After cleaning her hands, she went up to straighten Baochai's fetal position.He also ordered the stable woman from before to help.Now it is useless for Sheyue and Qiuwen to slow down their work. Baochai has suffered a lot before rushing to give birth to a brother.But in the end, the mother and child were safe, and his own life was saved.

Mrs. Wu has a filial piety, and on the day of Xisan, she only ordered people to bring gifts, and told Baochai to take care of herself. Baochai was very grateful when she heard this, and nodded repeatedly.Tanchun married in Jinling, and she was out of the filial piety long ago. She came here in person, and comforted Baochai for a while. Let's call together for a question.

Before Tanchun got married, she managed the family for several years without any troubles, so she had a lot of bearing.She is smart and sharp. Although these three were brought by her family after she was convicted of crimes, and she has not been in the south for a few years, she can guess one or two points, and ordered someone to invite Qingwen, who is already married, to come. He also invited Mrs. Wen, who delivered the baby that day, to face-to-face and explain clearly the events of these days.

Although the woman Wen was not skilled, she did her best. Tanchun naturally treated her with courtesy and asked her to testify about the scene at home on the day Baochai gave birth.That Wen Po deeply hated the girls in this family for their slow hands and feet, who almost ruined her reputation, so she didn't hide it for anyone, and told them one by one.Tanchun nodded his thanks, and gave another sum of thanks, saying that mother just accept it, and can't tell you to make a trip in vain.The woman took the money, thanked her and left.

Tanchun asked Sheyue and Qiuwen what else to say, and when they saw that the matter had been revealed, they both blamed Yinger.In his mouth, Zhonghai said that the third girl who had not left the cabinet was in charge of his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Qingwen sneered and said, "It's been so many years, I never thought that you are still this promising, and you are still doing this, and you haven't made any progress."Which one of your deceitful things I don't know?

Tanchun asked Qingwen, and Qingwen came one by one: It turned out that the most useful girl in Baoyu's room was Qianxue, and Xiren, Sheyue, and Qiuwen were just like provoking Yinger today, pretending to say something Uncle Lian, who has a big heart and wants to climb over there, waits for bad whispers, and deliberately asks Baoyu to hear them.At that time, Baoyu was a child, so he didn't know whether it was good or bad, because Baoyu's nanny Li Mama drank a cup of maple dew tea, so Qianxue was kicked out, and since then, Xiren has become the first servant around Baoyu.

Who knows that the world is unpredictable, now that Qianxue is married to a dutiful person, she has no worries about food and clothing, which is better than following the Jia family to ransack the family and commit crimes, but she has already died in the scheme of attacking others.

After listening to Tanchun, he also guessed how the two of them made Baochai suspicious of Yinger, and said with a sneer, "I want to take care of it, what can you do to me?"So someone called Baoyu to tell him the advantages and disadvantages in person, saying that he would lock up the two girls for the time being, and wait for the second sister-in-law to be out of confinement so that they can be dismissed.

It was also Baochai who looked forward and backward, so Baoyu still dared to be tough. Now that Tanchun is in full swing, Baoyu keeps his head down and dare not say anything.It was as if it was not the third sister in front of her, but the big sister back then.

After all, Tanchun is a girl who came out of the pavilion, so she couldn't manage the affairs of Jia's house, so she found a remote courtyard and locked Sheyue and Qiuwen, and asked Mrs. Wu to send someone to watch.He left another girl of his own to serve Baochai's confinement with Ying'er for the time being.

On the day Baochai gave birth, although she was so painful that she almost died, she was still sane.She was too worried after knowing that she had a bad pregnancy, so she didn't see Sheyue and Qiuwen's plan, and misunderstood Yinger.Seeing the performance of the three of them that day, I have figured it out now, and I am suspicious of Ying'er.

When Baochai was confinement, no matter whether Baoyu objected or not, after finishing my brother's full moon banquet, I called Ren Yazi to sell two musk moons and autumn patterns the next day.Baoyu knew that these two girls almost gave birth to his own wife and children, so he had nothing to say.

Baochai's son was named Jia Ruo.Baochai was injured because of giving birth to Jia Ruo, and she will have no children in the future.Baochai looked at Tanchun's method of cooking Sheyue and Qiuwen, and remembered that she was inseparable from a group of girls and servants in order to win over her servants, just to gain a good name in Rongguo Mansion.Only now did Baochai realize how shallow her knowledge and methods were.The master is the master, and the servant is the servant. If I hadn't been too kind to the girls in Baoyu's room at the beginning, they would have no fear, how could today's incident happen.

Before Baochai came out of the court, she was concerned about her family, but after she left the court, she had worried a lot about Baoyu. She always thought that her behavior was the most appropriate, but now when she thinks about it, she realizes that she is ridiculous.Not to mention others, I am far behind Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu can cultivate Jia Lian and Yingchun who are not her own, and now she lives freely, and she has her own biological brother, so what are you afraid of?

From then on, Baochai devoted herself to raising Jia Ruo, and treated Baoyu as a guest, but with a touch of alienation.After all, Baoyu didn't germinate in the old state for Sheyue and Qiuwen, and became a cheap furniture.Instead, after concentrating on improving in the academy for a few years, he found a position as a teacher.Baoyu thinks about his past mistakes, and is determined to love his wife and raise Jia Ruo with all his heart. If the year of amnesty comes in the future, Jia Ruo may still be able to participate in the imperial examination and seek a future.

As for the relationship between the husband and wife that was hurt in this incident, whether Baochai has always been alienated from Baoyu in his heart, or will he be slowly moved by Baoyu's insistence on caring for his wife and children in the future? These can only be determined by time.
