[Red Chamber] Daiyu's Rebirth Without Regrets

55,

Jia Lian looked at the counting room and then at his brother, leaned close to Baoyu and asked in a low voice, "Is this man reliable?"

Baoyu passed Jia Lian, looked at the tent and said, "Tell me what Wang Ren did."

The eyes of the accountant were a little red, and he seemed to be holding back his emotions and said: "Back to the two masters, I am in charge of the accountant of the Wang family. I am used to the activities of the masters greedy for Mo Gong's money on weekdays, and it is not enough for the masters." I wouldn't say anything about Yinzi, but Wang Ren played with my only child."

When Jia Lian heard this, the scene of Wang Ren bullying a beautiful girl came to Jia Lian's mind, but for Jia Lian, it was perfectly normal for his own masters to take concubines and take over houses, so he said by the way: "Your daughter If you can give birth to a boy and a half girl, it’s not bad to be an aunt.”

Hearing this, the accountant clenched his fists, stared at Jia Lian sternly and said, "My child is a boy."

Jia Lian was taken aback by his cannibalism, and Baoyu said beside him, "Don't worry, I will help you deal with Wang Ren in this matter." Baoyu glanced at Jia Lian and let the tent go down first. .

Hearing the accountant's words, Jia Lian thought that he had occasionally found a few handsome boys in the mansion to do that kind of work, but wondered if those boys also had resentment in their hearts.

Baoyu looked at Jia Lian, knowing what he was thinking, and said with a cold snort: "To be a master, one must be loyal, but this loyalty cannot be bought with a few times of money. You have to convince them. Let them understand the truth that one prospers all prospers and one loses all losses, your daughter-in-law is better than you at this point."

After Jia Lian heard this, he knew that it was reasonable, but he still insisted: "For people like us, it's not normal for masters to play with a few boys!"

Baoyu didn't look at Jia Lian, and said, "You are being played by a big man, are you comfortable?"

Jia Lianteng's face was flushed, and he took two steps uncomfortably, and said in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter, who am I, and what are they?"

Baoyu leaned close to Jia Lian, and said in a low voice, "Be ruthless when you should be cruel to servants, and gentle enough when you should be soft. But don't forget, a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry."

Walking out of the small house, Jia Lian's mind echoed his brother's words. It's not that he doesn't understand these principles, but that the whole Jia family doesn't do it this way.Nowadays, these servants have always been obedient and disobedient, and it is really unruly to exalt the high and trample the low.

Jia Lian led the horse and walked off the road, and saw Wang Er Xing Er waiting at the intersection. Seeing Jia Lian, he happily stepped forward to bow to Jia Lian. Since they were beaten last time, they are now much more honest. But Jia Lian looked carefully and felt that these people were useless. First of all, Wang Xifeng's daughter-in-law belonged to Wang Xifeng, and Xing'er often tipped off Wang Xifeng.

"Where did you two come from?" Jia Lian asked.

Wang'er took the reins from Jia Lian's hand, led the horse and followed Jia Lian, and Xing'er said beside him, "Isn't this the second young lady who sent us two out to serve the second master when she learned that the second master had left the house early in the morning?" .”

Jia Lian snorted, she was going to the palace when she went out, Wang Xifeng clearly wanted these two people to watch her, and immediately said: "Your second young mistress is really good at handling things, if that's the case, go with me."

When the Wang family saw Jia Lian coming to the door, they were good hosts. Jia Lian went into the back room all the way. When he met his father-in-law, Jia Lian was very polite. There is no separation from Wang Ziteng, and he often bullies men and women in the name of Wang Ziteng.

Now when I see Jia Lian, I don’t even ask about my daughter-in-law Wang Xifeng. I just pull Jia Lian and say, "There is a new antique shop on the East Street, and the store is a red coral tree as tall as a person. Lian'er, why don't you come and see it with me?" look."

Jia Lian looked at Wang Zisheng, but when he said this, he wanted Jia Lian to buy it for him. Jia Lian also took advantage of this twice at the beginning, and then he tried not to come, so he escaped. In such a money-seeking eye, it's no wonder that a person like Wang Xifeng can be born. Like a father, like a son.

Jia Lian laughed twice and said, "Old Taishan, my visit today has something to do with my brother-in-law. I don't know where he is now?"

Wang Zisheng heard this, frowned and said: "This kid hasn't been seen for a few days, maybe he went somewhere to play."

Wang Zisheng and his own son knew that Jia Lian was not close. Wang Ren was taught by Wang Ziteng and his wife on weekdays, and he had developed a problem of arrogance and rudeness early on. Even Jia Lian felt that it was inappropriate.At this moment, he only said: "Speaking of which, I have nothing to do with Lao Taishan. Two days ago, I was beaten by a group of masked men at the gate of the magistrate's office. I thought it must be some local hooligans, but I didn't want anyone to say It was instigated by my brother-in-law." Jia Lian said, looking at Wang Zisheng.

I saw that he was very surprised at first, and then pulled Jia Lian to look at it and said, "No wonder I saw your red and swollen face, so I thought you fell."

Jia Lian's face was slapped by his brother just now, but now that Wang Zisheng said it, he felt panicked, so he simply stood up and said angrily, "I didn't believe this at first, but I met it when I went out. Mr. accountant of your mansion, my brother-in-law spent money from him and found a few hooligans to beat me up."

After saying this, Jia Lian looked at Wang Zisheng. Unexpectedly, that Wang Zisheng's face did not change, but he was very comforted, and then said: "Lian'er must also know the situation in my family. I can't control my son. This matter is still there You have to talk to the second wife in the mansion, she decides this matter."

Looking at Wang Zisheng, Jia Lian knew that he was thick-skinned, but he didn't want to be so shameless, so he said shamelessly: "Then we can only find the second aunt directly."

Hehe, Wang Zisheng laughed twice, and called his mother-in-law to invite Mrs. Wang Ziteng.

While talking, Mrs. Wang Ziteng arrived, and Aunt Xue came with her.Seeing Jia Lian, Aunt Xue asked again, pulled Jia Lian and comforted her: "Why is her face so red and swollen, Feng girl doesn't care about it."

Aunt Xue is very eloquent, and after a few words, the atmosphere in the room is enlivened. Mrs. Wang Ziteng also politely said to Jia Lian: "I heard that there is something involved with Ren'er. The relationship between our two families is not good. I'm going to be assigned by those rats."

Jia Lian said with a smile: "It stands to reason that I shouldn't come here, but if this matter is not cleared up, wouldn't it be more inappropriate to rest assured? If there is a misunderstanding, just let it go, and besides, it's expensive this morning. The accountant of the mansion just followed me."

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wang Ziteng's expression changed, she looked at Wang Zisheng who was sitting beside her and said, "Uncle, this matter..."

"Isn't the second wife in charge of this house?" Wang Zisheng raised one leg, picked up the tea on the table and blew gently.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng returned to normal, looked at Jia Lian and said, "I asked someone to call the housekeeper, and Lian'er asked him. Mr. Accountant was originally a scholar, but he only worked as this guy in the mansion when he was down. Duty."

Jia Lian opened his mouth and said with a smile: "The second wife is right, but after thinking about it, my brother-in-law really has a reason to beat me." Jia Lian looked at everyone's reactions and continued, "A few days ago, Brother Zhen He asked me to talk about something. His sister-in-law is getting old and not good at marriage. I saw that his character and appearance are not bad, and I was thinking about telling my family someday. This matter is not a big deal. My family's temper Presumably my wife also understands that my brother-in-law has somehow found out about this." Jia Lian laughed as he said this, looking at Mrs. Wang Ziteng with innocent eyes.

Aunt Xue sat aside, squinting her eyes and not speaking. Wang Zisheng drank tea leisurely. Mrs. Wang Ziteng sighed and said, "Girl Feng grew up by my side, so she is inevitably spoiled. It's just that she wants to be strong. , but it is still reasonable, and I will definitely not do such a thing.”

After saying this, Wang Zisheng couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Wang Ziteng became angry when she saw it. This uncle, it's fine if he doesn't do serious things on weekdays, and he's used to tearing things down. Jia Lian was still there, so it was hard to say anything, and he said: "Lian'er wants to take a concubine. This is a happy event. Speaking of which, you have been married for so many years. Even if Feng girl doesn't mention this matter, I will tell her. It's just that Lian The fact that my son was beaten, I don't think Ren'er did it."

Seeing Mrs. Wang Ziteng's calmness, Jia Lian's expression changed immediately and he said: "Second wife, speaking of you as my elder, I shouldn't have said that, but the fact that I was beaten is true, and there are certifications. Besides, when I go out, peace is always the most important thing, after thinking about it, it makes sense for my brother-in-law to stand up for my younger sister."

As soon as the words came out, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was about to say something, but Jia Lian stopped her with a sentence: "Second wife, this matter is not a big deal in the final analysis. It's fine if my brother-in-law will accompany me well. If you don't even care about this matter." It’s really boring to let it go!”

Maybe it's because he didn't expect Jia Lian to be able to talk to death. Mrs. Wang Ziteng's face turned pale, but that kid Wang Ren was not in tune, but he would never hit Jia Lian, but it didn't look like Jia Lian was lying like this. How could this happen, and Jia Yuanchun had to be supported by Wang Ziteng in the palace, Mrs. Wang Ziteng believed it a little bit.

Aunt Xue was a little embarrassed seeing her sister-in-law, she stepped forward and said to Jia Lian, "I heard that the You sisters are beautiful, but I have never seen them before. I don't know which one Lian'er is going to marry!"

Wang Zisheng also took the opportunity to say: "Although it is just a concubine, I will inevitably ask for a glass of wine."

Seeing that Mrs. Wang Ziteng had finally been beaten, Jia Lian hadn't gotten complacent yet, seeing the topic being bypassed like this. "This kind of trivial matter doesn't require a lot of work, just leave it to my wife." Jia Lian said.

Mrs. Wang Xifeng's temper, Wang Ziteng, knew that now that Jia Lian was going to be handed over to Feng girl, and seeing the redness and swelling on Jia Lian's face, she couldn't help but think a little bit more. Maybe it was really Wang Ren who did it, and her words were soft now. up.

It was a coincidence that everyone was in a stalemate when they heard someone from the porter report that Wang Ren had returned.Mrs. Wang Ziteng asked someone to invite Wang Ren over.At the same time, he asked his servants to pour new tea for Jia Lian.

Jia Lian sat under Wang Zisheng and took a sip of tea, which was actually better than Jia's.In a blink of an eye, Wang Ren entered the room drunk, and when he saw Wang Zisheng and others, he said at the top of his voice, "Why did you call me here early in the morning!?"

Jia Lian saw that his face was flushed, his body smelled of alcohol, and there was a faint smell of makeup, so he snorted coldly, "Brother-in-law has been busy all night!"

After hearing this, Wang Ren saw Jia Lian, walked over and said, "Why are you here?"

Wang Zisheng picked out his ears and said, "Ren'er, what are you talking about!"

Wang Ren looked at his father, then at Jia Lian, and said, "My sister-in-law came early this morning. I don't know what's going on?" Here, he insisted that his family had sued the housekeeper of the Jia family. Before the matter was over, people all over the world said that they had beaten Jia Lian.Wang Ren thought that the rumors must have been spread by those villains, but he didn't want to ask a few people and found out that the rumors came from Jia's mansion. Drinking wine, I was thinking of going back home to sleep earlier, but I heard that someone from the concierge came to look for me.

Jia Lian smiled and said, "It seems that my brother-in-law didn't sleep all night. If that's the case, I'll go back too." Then Jia Lian got up and said goodbye.

Wang Zisheng watched Jia Lian leave, stood up and said to Mrs. Wang Ziteng: "Sisters and sisters, this matter is not my business. The younger brothers and sisters should handle it themselves. It is a matter between relatives. No matter what, don't hurt your friendship." After saying these high-sounding words, Wang Zisheng just left.

Mrs. Wang Ziteng's eyes were red with anger when she heard this, and Aunt Xue hurriedly persuaded, "Second sister-in-law, don't be angry, you know the elder brother."

Mrs. Wang Ziteng took out a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, stood up and walked to the backyard. Aunt Xue accompanied her and said, "I think we have to call the old lady of the Jia family directly."

"Jia Lian's child, I'm afraid he has a grudge against Brother Feng today, and this matter has to fall on Jia Mu. But do you think Ren'er really knows how to beat Jia Lian?" Mrs. Wang Ziteng asked Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue thought to herself that she couldn't participate in this matter, so she said, "Ren'er is a good person, and Lian'er looks good too. I think there may be someone involved in it."

Aunt Xue said this as if she hadn't said it. Mrs. Wang Ziteng sighed. It seems that Jia's family has to go there in person.

Besides, in the palace, Daiyu bid farewell to Concubine Hui early in the morning, and was led by her mother to meet the queen first.When the queen saw Daiyu, she asked the court lady to take out a Qin box, and said: "This ebony Qin is a relic of Wu Yang. Since she gave it to you, then you can take it. It's good to have a thought. It's not in vain for you two to know each other." one game."

Daiyu nodded and let Xueyan behind her take the piano.

Coming out of the queen's palace, they saw Princess Qingping and Baochai.When Daiyu saw the princess, she said hello to the princess, "Lin Daiyu greets the princess!"

Princess Qingping looked at Lin Daiyu, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and the pearl hairpin on her head was shaking. She only heard the princess say: "Get up." Then she walked to the Queen's Palace. Baochai followed behind and smiled at Daiyu, as if Showing favor.

When Daiyu saw her, she nodded and went to the Empress Dowager's Palace, but she learned that the Empress Dowager was not feeling well, but an old nanny received Daiyu, said a few polite words and sent Daiyu back.

Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, the mother said: "Miss Lin still needs to go to Concubine Xiande for a while!"

Lin Daiyu thought that Yuanchun was pregnant now, and seeing that it was still early, she wondered if it would be inconvenient to go at this time.While hesitating, he heard someone coming from behind say, "Sister Lin, I found you."

Daiyu turned her head and saw that it was Baochai. She was smiling and calm, as if she knew her very well.Xueyan was not happy to see Baochai, so she reminded Daiyu in a low voice, "Miss, it's already a bit cold in early autumn, why don't you go back to the house and change your clothes before you go."

Daiyu nodded and said to Baochai, "I don't know why Miss Xue is looking for me!?"

Listening to Lin Daiyu calling herself Miss Xue, Baochai frowned and said with a smile: "Sister Lin entered the palace yesterday. I wanted to come and talk to my sister, but it was getting late. I met her just now, thinking that my sister might go back to visit the noble concubine." Empress, I wanted to go with Sister Lin."

Daiyu saw that Baochai was wearing a long pink dress, simple yet luxurious, with a semicircular kingfisher gold ornament on her head, looking virtuous and generous.In Daiyu's eyes, this kind of Baochai is similar to her previous life. She bought people's hearts, flattered her in every possible way, and was exquisite in every way.No matter how embarrassing it is, he can pretend not to hear it, and has the ambition to go straight to the top.

Daiyu smiled and said, "That's it, let's go with Miss Xue."

The mother at the side looked at Xue Baochai and felt a little displeased. Thinking that Lin Daiyu was smart, she said, "Young lady, I will not go with you to see Concubine Xiande."

Daiyu thought, Concubine Hui and Yuan Chun are not very close, this nanny should avoid suspicion, so she complied immediately.

Seeing Mammy walking away, Baochai stepped forward and said, "Sister Lin, let's go now!"

The two went to Fengzao Palace together. This harem is very big, full of pavilions and pavilions, rockery and rocks, and many precious trees are planted. The scenery along the way is attractive, so Daiyu inevitably walks slowly, pacing. appreciate.

Seeing Daiyu walking slowly behind, Baochai stopped and looked at Daiyu, and said, "Since my sister likes the scenery, she should have lived in the courtyard. Although it is not like this place, it is also very beautiful."

Daiyu approached slowly, and said in a calm manner: "Miss Xue was joking, that courtyard is the other courtyard of the concubine's concubine, even if they live in it, it should be lived in Jia's mansion. Wouldn't it be wrong for me, Lin, to live in it?" suitable."

When Baochai heard this, her face turned ugly.

Daiyu ignored her, and walked straight to Fengzao Palace, Baochai walked behind, but she didn't say much.
