[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

49,

Coming out of Concubine Hui's Changning Hall, Wen Renlin walked for a while with his head down, recalling Concubine Hui's words in his mind, as long as there are people, there will be struggle, even if you can protect it for a while, you can't protect it for a lifetime.

Although this statement is straightforward, it is the great truth.

Let's talk about Jia's mansion. Mother Jia thought that Daiyu's preparation for marriage must be taken care of by people in Jia's mansion. Wang Xifeng sat next to Daiyu and took Daiyu's hand to persuade: "My dear sister, leave this matter to my sister-in-law. There is no reason to let a girl who is about to marry clean up by herself."

Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng, saw her weariness that couldn't be concealed under her thick makeup, and thought that she was not in good health, so she had to be so strong, so she said immediately: "Sister-in-law Lian, you are not in good health, how can you do this?" Let you be burdened, and besides, there is actually no need to prepare anything, as early as in Yangzhou, my dowry was prepared and packed. I can add a few new clothes at most, and I can do it myself."

Wang Xifeng knew that Daiyu was not a good talker, but thinking about Daiyu's boxes of things, she couldn't help but think about it. It happened that Jia Mu specially sent someone to love her. How could Sister Feng justify this opportunity? miss.

Wang Xifeng said with a smile: "I know my sister is capable, but you see that the fifth prince is not an ordinary person, if there is something missing, it's not good for people to take care of it, besides, it's nothing to worry about now , but I really started to get busy, but this is something and that is also something, I am afraid that several people will be too busy at that time."

Lin Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng, and then heard Jia Mu say: "Yu'er, you heard Feng girl right, it is a big deal for a woman to leave the court, and besides, you are now living in your grandfather's house, which makes Feng It would be best for a girl to cook."

Lin Daiyu listened to this, looked at Jiamu's self-centered appearance, and said: "Yu'er is thinking, the emperor bestowed the marriage, so she knows my situation, so she probably won't mind." He wanted to continue talking, but saw an old woman crying from outside the house, it was Nanny Lai.

As soon as Nanny Lai entered the room, she cried and knelt on the ground and said, "Old lady, save my son!"

This Nanny Lai was originally Jia Mu's dowry, seeing her distressed look, she immediately asked, "What happened to Lai Da?"

The mandarin duck and amber on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Nanny Lai to do it, and Nanny Lai wiped away her tears and said, "Earlier this morning, a pair of tooth bugs came in, and Lai Da was arrested without saying a word. My grandson followed him to the yamen, and after asking, he found out that it was because of greed."

Mother Jia stared at Nanny Lai, then at Sister Feng, and said, "Don't be greedy! Whose is it? What's going on?"

The brothers of the Lai family are the housekeepers of the Jia family, not to mention the relationship here, the Lai family can be said to represent the Jia family outside, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Jia family if Lai Da was arrested.

Sister Feng looked at Nanny Lai, and said to Mother Jia: "Old lady, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here, probably the wrong person was arrested."

"Caught the wrong person?" Mother Jia asked with a cold face.

Sister Feng knew that these words were too false, so she immediately said, "Why don't you ask someone to ask."

Thinking about this, Jia Mu could only ask Jia Lian to take a look, so she nodded immediately.

With her head down, Sister Feng went out and walked towards her yard.

Lin Daiyu saw that something happened to Lai Nanny's house, and thought that although the Lai family was the housekeeper of Jia's family, they had already made a lot of money from Jia's family. Besides, the garden built by his family was simply a miniature version of the Grand View Garden. It would be strange if there were no ghosts here.

It must be that Jia's mother is not ignorant of these things. Daiyu has come back to life and sees things more clearly. She has understood these things in her previous life.

Daiyu watched Sister Feng leave, got up and said, "Granddaughter is going back first, and I will come to talk to grandma tomorrow."

Jia Mu nodded and asked Yuanyang to send Lin Daiyu out.

Just after leaving the door, Yuanyang pulled Lin Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin, I shouldn't have said that."

Lin Daiyu knew that she wanted to persuade herself, so she immediately replied: "Since you shouldn't say it, then don't say it!"

Daiyu walked away after speaking.

Kongliu Yuanyang stood at the door and looked at Daiyu who was going away with a dull face. This mandarin duck is Jia Mu's personal maid, and she is very respectable in this mansion. Not to mention others, Sister Feng Jia Lian also wants to give her a favor when she sees her. Three points of face.

She originally thought that although this Miss Lin was indifferent every time she came here, she never bullied others, she just said nothing, so she wanted to persuade her a few words, but she didn't expect that Miss Lin would give herself away with just one sentence. It was blocked, and I was a little annoyed at the moment.

Let's say that Sister Feng went back to the yard, saw that Jia Lian was not there, and asked Wang'er to look for it, only to learn that she had gone to Ningfu again.Sister Feng was waiting for Jia Lian in the house, and Ping'er was watching, and said, "Grandma, didn't you agree before that you don't care about the things in the yard anymore?"

Sister Feng glanced at Ping'er, sighed and said: "I can ignore the old lady's words. Besides, if Miss Lin can do a good job in this matter, there will be great benefits here."

Thinking of Lin Daiyu's calm expression, Ping'er said, "But I see, Miss Lin might not be easy to deal with."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "It's just a girl who hasn't been out of the boudoir. Although she has some skills, she lives in our house now and doesn't listen to us. Wait for two days until she calms down."

Hearing Sister Feng's words, Ping'er felt that Miss Lin's matter was not so easy, but the matter of Nanny Lai was probably very problematic.

Seeing Ping'er standing aside, Sister Feng patted her hand and said, "Why are you getting more and more timid? How big is this matter? There must be a misunderstanding."

Ping'er stood silently, his eyelids were twitching all the time, and his heart was always up and down, always feeling uneasy.

After a while, I saw Jia Lian came back. As soon as she entered the room, Sister Feng frowned when she smelled the smell of powder on his body. I said that.

Jia Lian sat down on the soft cushion, looked at Ping'er pouring tea for herself, and said, "Why don't you push me over this matter!"

As soon as Sister Feng heard this, she became angry and said, "I can also push what the old lady means. If I didn't often give you face in front of the old lady, you might be fooling around."

What Sister Feng said was not wrong. Jia Lian had just taken Sister You as an outside room, and now the two of them are making love to each other, so naturally they don't look good when they see Sister Feng.Hearing Wang Xifeng's words, Jia Lian sneered and said, "I am the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, and I need a woman from you to give me a face?!"

Seeing that Jia Lian was going to quarrel with Sister Feng, Ping'er advised: "The old lady is still waiting, the second master should hurry up and do it."

Jia Lian glared at Ping'er and said, "Even you dare to speak out against me!"

Ping'er blushed anxiously and said, "Second Master, you have wronged me."

Sister Feng laughed and said, "I'm really thinking about you, it's better to feed the dog."

Seeing Sister Feng's aggressive behavior, Jia Lian flicked her sleeves and went out.Thinking that everyone is dependent on it and can't ignore it, he immediately rode to the yamen.

The magistrate's surname is Luo, and Jia Lian is also familiar with it. As soon as he saw Jia Lian, he said, "The second master is here. I will send someone to the house to explain to you when the matter in your house is completed."

Jia Lian was taken aback, and then said, "I don't know what your lord is talking about?"

Luo Zhifu looked at Jia Lian and saw that he was serious, so he said: "Didn't the mansion send someone to complain a few days ago, saying that Lai Da, the big housekeeper in your mansion, was greedy for money? There were also a few witnesses and ledger."

When Jia Lian heard this, she felt a bit of absurdity in her head, and immediately said: "My mansion did not send anyone to complain! Please tell me who the person who complained is!"

Luo Zhifu listened to Jia Lian's words, frowned immediately, and said: "The person who complained is the housekeeper of the palace, and he only said that he specially turned his hand to prevent the Lai family from transferring money."

When Jia Lian heard the word "Wang's Mansion", he felt his chest burn, thinking that since Mrs. Wang came, her eldest wife was not liked by the old lady more and more, and later she married Wang Xifeng and was suppressed by her everywhere, seeing each other at her home every day The woman from the Wang family felt uncomfortable all over, and now she even got involved in this matter, so she immediately said: "Master Luo, you will suppress this matter for me, and I will come to discuss it with you after I return to the mansion."

Hearing Jia Lian's words, Lord Luo knew that there might be someone in the house acting as a monster, but it's not so easy to erase the case that has been filed, so he said immediately: "Second Lord Lian, I'm looking at your house for this matter. On the surface, it will only be delayed for two days, and it may be inappropriate if the case is not closed for a long time."

Jia Lian quickly pleaded guilty and said a lot of good things before leaving the Yamen.

Thinking that this was another disaster caused by the women of the Wang family, Jia Lian took a shortcut back to the mansion on horseback, and was about to walk to a secluded corridor, when he saw a person standing in the middle of the road with his back turned to him, Jia Lian pointed at him with a whip Shouted: "Get out of the way."

The man didn't understand, he just yelled loudly: "What a son of the Rongguo Mansion, is he so domineering!" Then the man turned his head, it was Jia Baoyu who was none other than Jia Baoyu.

When Jia Lian saw it, he immediately reined in the horse. Jia Lian got off the horse and looked at Baoyu. He saw that he was wearing a crescent white gown with his hair tied on top, but he looked a little different.It's just because of Baoyu's consistent image, Jia Lian didn't take it seriously and said, "Didn't you go to Songshan Academy? Why are you here? Now that you're back, come back to the mansion with me." precious jade.

Baoyu dodged sideways, looked at Wang'er and the others who came behind, and said, "I have something to tell you, don't let them follow."

After Jia Lian heard this, he unconsciously followed what Baoyu said, and said to the two boys behind him, "My lord has met some acquaintances here, so don't bother us." small door.

As soon as Jia Lian entered the door, he saw white banners hanging on the porch, and there was a memorial tablet in the main hall, which read "The position of Zhang Shi".

Baoyu closed the door, came up and kicked Jia Lian on the ass, and shouted, "You don't kneel down when you see your mother!"

Jia Lian trembled and was about to kneel down when he remembered that it was Baoyu who had pulled him in, so he forced himself to calm down and pointed to the spiritual seat and asked, "Who are you?"

Baoyu looked at Jia Lian and said with a smile, "If you ask me who I am, then I'll ask you, who is this?"

"I am Jia Lian, the son of the Rongguo Mansion, who are you?" Jia Lian yelled and grabbed Baoyu by the collar.

Baoyu didn't break free, but looked at Jia Lian with red eyes and said, "Who am I? Who can I be?"

Jia Lianzhi felt that the place was eerie and strange, and seeing his hideous description, he felt annoyed why he followed him in by accident all of a sudden, so he threw him away and ran towards the door.

Baoyu said from behind, "You have a red birthmark on your back."

When Jia Lian heard this, he just ignored it, thinking that the birthmark on his back was not a secret. Unexpectedly, Baoyu followed up and said: "The birthmark was originally a little light in color. When you were three years old, you made a fuss about it." Trying to get rid of the birthmark, your brother thought about burning it with tongs, but it hurt for a whole month, and the birthmark turned red."

Jia Lian was stunned here. No one else knew about these things except Jia Lian himself. Turning to look at Baoyu, he saw tears in his eyes, and his round face looked thinner.

Jia Lian stepped forward to look at Baoyu, and said in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

Baoyu took Jia Lian's finger and pointed to the tablet and said, "Come here and kowtow to our mother!"

With a pale face, Jia Lian walked towards the Lingtai step by step, knelt down on the round cattail with a plop, and cried loudly, "Mother, my son kowtowed to you!"

Baoyu stood beside him and said, "Even if you still have some conscience, I see that you have become more and more lawless these years."

Jia Lian cried for a long time, looked at Baoyu and asked, "You are not Baoyu, who are you?"

Baoyu knelt down and looked directly at Jia Lian, saying, "I'm your brother!"

Jia Lian staggered and fell to the ground, looking at Baoyu. Although he was like Baoyu, his eyes and speech were not the same, let alone the hostility exuded by changing his body.An absurd idea came to Jia Lian's mind, and he suppressed it desperately, but he couldn't, and finally couldn't help but said: "You are Jia Hu!"

Baoyu laughed towards the sky, his voice was hoarse, and it sounded very sad.

Seeing this, Jia Lian jumped up suddenly and ran towards the door. Baoyu looked at him and said, "Where are you going?"

Although Jia Lian had heard a lot about ghosts and ghosts, Jia Hu had been dead for 20 years, and the face with Baoyu on her face was really scary in front of her.

But he saw that Baoyu pulled Jia Lian past him, but Jia Lian couldn't break free. Baoyu pressed him to the ground at once. You are also worthy of being a man for these flattering activities!"

When Jia Lian heard this, she was very angry in her heart, and said with restraint: "You don't know the situation in the house now. The old lady likes the second bedroom, and my father is like that. I can't say a word."

Baoyu sneered again and again, and stepped on Jia Lian's mission. Baoyu was wearing a pair of hard-soled boots, and Jia Lian was used to domineering in normal times, and now he was humming in his tortured mouth.

I just heard Baoyu say: "For more than 20 years, I have seen you guys eating, drinking and having fun in the yard every day these years. You guys have brought chickens and dogs to fight. The huge Rongguo Mansion has been harmed by you guys. Poor mother , hurt the root, and there was that old hag all day long, so my mother couldn't bear it and went. Later, I saw you only know how to have fun every day, and married that shrew Wang Xifeng, but she was still under her control , are you still a man?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his pale face was covered with cold sweat, and he pointed at him and said, "You are already dead, why are you still here?"

Baoyu leaned close to Jia Lian's face, pinched Jia Lian's chin and said, "Isn't it that I came back after being unwilling to die?"

This yin and yang look scared Jia Lian half to death, he couldn't even speak, he trembled for a long time and said: "For the sake of our brothers, please spare my life!"

Baoyu pinched his chin until red bloodstains appeared on the chin, Baoyu let go, stood up, looked at Jia Lian and said, "Stand up for me."

At this time, how could Jia Lian dare not follow, she was about to get up now, how could she know that her legs could not use her strength, so she half knelt on the ground, looked at Baoyu helplessly, and said with a mournful face, "I can't get up."

Baoyu rolled his eyes at him, smiled and said, "It's really useless." He stepped forward and kicked his calf.

With this kick, Jia Lian jumped up suddenly, and only shouted: "It hurts! It hurts!"

Baoyu looked at him like this, and said coldly: "Call and try again!"

Jia Lian stopped suddenly and looked at Baoyu, very obedient.

Baoyu picked him up and said: "I have been a ghost for decades. At first I was angry, but later I didn't care. Now I want to do one thing." Baoyu looked at Jia Lian and asked, "Do you know what it is?" ?”

Jia Lian didn't dare to look at him, and said hesitantly, "Could it be that he is borrowing a dead body to resurrect his soul!"

Baoyu came up and slapped Jia Lian on the face, saying, "No."

Jia Lian had burning pains on his back, face, and legs, but he didn't dare to resist. He didn't know why he was so strong, so he said nonsense, "Brother, this is revenge!"

Baoyu laughed, patted Jia Lian's face lightly and said, "You're half right."

Jia Lian couldn't hold on until now, and begged: "Whatever brother wants to do, just tell me, and I will help brother do it even if I go through fire and water."

"So cute!" Seeing Jia Lian like this, Baoyu not only didn't like it, but stepped forward and slapped Jia Lian again, which made Jia Lian dizzy.

Jia Lian didn't know how he offended him with his words, so he cried and said, "I beg you to give me an answer!"

Seeing him like this, Baoyu stepped forward and kicked again. Jia Lian thumped and lay on the ground, his face touched the ashes on the ground.

Baoyu stood on the top and looked at Jia Lian, thinking that he had been in the Rongguo Mansion for more than 20 years to see such a useless younger brother, so he wanted to beat him up a long time ago. angry.

After all, Jia Lian was still of some use. Baoyu pulled him up and said, "What did you do in such a hurry back home?"

Listening to his question, Jia Lian immediately told everyone about Lai with a smile, and then looked at Baoyu with a flattering look on his face.

Baoyu looked at him and said with disgust, "Put away your appearance."

Jia Lian immediately stood up straight, pulled his wrinkled clothes, and said: "Everyone Lai has a lot of money, but everyone knows that Lai Da is the big housekeeper of our Jia's house. Let the raft fix the old lady."

"What old lady?" Baoyu raised his hand and wanted to slap his face again, but Jia Lian hurriedly changed his words, "It's an old witch."

Hearing what Jia Lian said about Jia's mother, Baoyu felt more at ease, and said, "I got this Jia Baoyu's body, and it's quite convenient to do things, but this Jia Baoyu is a waste. I can only do things when I come out. You go back now, and come here to find me if you have anything to do."

"Yes, yes." Jia Lian answered hurriedly.

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Baoyu kicked Jia Lian over.Jia Lian covered his stomach, feeling unspeakable.

Baoyu said: "When the old witch got rid of my mother, she thought that the poisonous woman was a person who could be manipulated. How could she have been eaten away by the poisonous woman bit by bit? Now it is just an empty shelf."

Jia Lian listened, thinking that the poisonous woman must be Mrs. Wang, and he said that, the word poisonous woman and Mrs. Wang are really quite appropriate.

Baoyu looked ferociously, looked at the mourning hall and said slowly: "Now I'm going to watch the old witch being dragged into the mud by the poisonous woman supported by me." After saying this, Baoyu burst out laughing.It's just that the laughter was worse than crying. Jia Lian was listening, but felt a cloud of yin oozing from the soles of his feet.

Jia Lian looked around, the yard was not big, there were only three tile-roofed houses at a glance, and the back was not really visible.Just as he was thinking of taking the opportunity to escape, he heard Baoyu say, "Go back, you have to help the poisonous woman in this matter, and you must let Lai Da in, and you must make him go bankrupt."

When Jia Lian heard this, he said, "It's thanks to everyone that they have some skills. Although they are greedy for money, none of the servants in our mansion are not small."

Baoyu stared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "What a son of a duke and duke, it's normal for you to be greedy for money from the Lord Mo's family?"

Jia Lian lowered his head and thought that he was often greedy for money from Mr. Mo. He didn't know if he knew it, so he said immediately: "This is easy to handle. I just want to make a big fuss about it, but the old witch is afraid that she won't."

Baoyu picked up Jia Lian's ear and said: "You are stupid, you are really stupid. She is just a housewife and an old lady. You go out to socialize all day, even if you are a good friend, there should be two who can say it." In other words, can’t you even do this well?”

Jia Lian felt ashamed when he heard this. Speaking of which, Jia Lian knew a lot of people, but every time he hired someone to do something, he had to spend money. Now that the Jia family's economy is not good, this is really a big problem.

Baoyu seemed to see Jia Lian's predicament, and took out two bank notes from his pocket and said, "Take it!"

Jia Lian took it, but it turned out to be two 2000 taels of banknotes. He smiled happily and said, "Brother, is this true?"

Baoyu sneered and said: "The old witch is very kind to Jia Baoyu, and secretly stuffed a lot of money."

When Jia Lian heard this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad. It was also his grandson who was sad. Why Jia's mother always favored Baoyu, but he was happy that Baoyu was his own brother now.There are two moods at the moment, and for a while, Jia Lian cried while holding the bank note.
