Rebirth of the Legend of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

Chapter 64: Watching the play, Jia Min satirizes the imperial merchants

Flipping through the account book in front of her, Aunt Xue frowned more and more.

"Why is the account in the shop getting worse in the past two days?"

Seeing that Aunt Xue's tone was not very good, the person in charge wanted to refute a few words, this uncle of our family has always been the one who spends money like running water, only getting out but not getting in.What's more, I ran into bad luck at the Lin family recently, and ran to the Fireworks and Willow Lane a few more times, asking for more and more money. What can we do, we have to give it. If it is given, it will not look good on the books.

Sighing, she waved her hand and asked the manager to leave. Aunt Xue sat there again for a while, and after a while, the girl came to report that it was Baochai. Aunt Xue had just asked someone to put away the account book, and regained her energy to chat and laugh with her daughter. .

When it was mentioned that Sister Feng's birthday was two days old, Baochai said indifferently: "It's nothing at all, but since the old lady made the decision to give Feng girl a face this time, we are relatives, so naturally we have to contribute. I think Seeing that she is not an elegant person, my mother can choose something that shows wealth, she will naturally like it, and the old lady must be satisfied."

The mother and daughter discussed it so well, and Aunt Xue was a little worried about Xue Pan, so she sighed: "Your brother has gone to somewhere, and I haven't been able to sleep well these two days. Go, Mr. Lin is a second-rank member of the court, how can we provoke him, even your uncle, I'm afraid we will give him a little bit."

Seeing her mother bring up this matter, Baochai felt unspeakably bitter. Isn't Lin Daiyu better than her in having a good family? The Jia family who had to bother to win over.

After returning to Hengwu Garden from Aunt Xue, Baochai was still a little unhappy, and Ying'er didn't say much when she saw this, but took the opportunity to say quietly: "Girl, I saw Xiaohong in the room of Second Master Bao's room today again. I went to Ermen'er to find her brother, she has been there four or five times this month, and she is too frequent."

"Have you seen what she is going to do?" Baochai knew that Xiaohong was a tricky, eccentric, hollow-minded and big-hearted master. As an errand in the mansion, she couldn't afford to provoke her easily, and she went forward to read what she said to Zhui'er, but she didn't know who the person they were talking about was.

Ying'er shook her head: "There were so many people in the second gate, I didn't dare to go forward, so I poked my head around and came back. Who knew that on the way back, I ran into Qingwen and Feicui again, and after a casual chat, I just found out that Baoyu was overjoyed when he heard that Lian's second grandmother's birthday was coming with her aunt and Miss Lin."

As soon as the words came out, Ying'er saw that Baochai's face was not very good, so she lowered her head and remained silent, and Baochai didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, after tidying up and preparing to resettle, Tong Xi, who was beside Aunt Xue, hurried over, saying that Xue Pan had been beaten up by someone, and that he owed a lot of money for some reason, and someone just came to the door. Asking for the bill, Aunt Xue was so frightened that she hurriedly asked Xue Baochai to come over.

Baochai was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly put on her clothes, but the Grand View Garden had already closed its doors, and it was necessary to arrange it again. It was only after Baochai rushed over that she found out that Xue Pan was fighting for the same woman in the fireworks alley. , the two stalemate several times, Xue Pan yelled again, just now he was beaten up, the other party didn't know who it was, I heard that he seemed to be the young master of the official family, now he was locked up, and only asked the Xue family to take money to redeem .

It just so happened that two days ago, Xue Pan’s credit account in the casino was approached by others, and the whole Lixiangyuan was very noisy and lively. Aunt Xue was afraid that the matter would become a big joke and the Jia family would see it as a joke. He wanted to give money, but Baochai stopped him.

"This matter is so strange, we should ask it clearly. We don't know which family they belong to. Why did they detain my brother? There should be a reason for everything."

Xue Baochai was thinking, after all, they live in Jia's mansion, and there is still Prince Teng over there, so people who come here may also want to see the face of these two families, and this matter may still be discussed, who knows that once this word is spread, people will come Laughed: "Reason? We are the reason. Well, if you don't give money, don't you blame us for being rude."

After saying that, he walked away, and when he went back to report to his master, even though Xue Pan was beaten severely again, he still told him clearly: "This is because your own sister won't give you money. That's what it deserves."

Therefore, after hearing this, Xue Pan only gritted his teeth and scolded Baochai.

The second day of September.

Jia Fu.

Daiyu came to Jia's mansion after having breakfast with Jia Min. She was still a little confused. At first, when her grandmother called for someone to come over, her mother pushed her away. This matter happened to be right in front of her, so she knew it clearly. Who would have thought that after a few days, her mother would personally tell her that she was going to come over to celebrate Wang Xifeng's birthday today.

Mother is not very willing to come here now, and even if she does come, she never asks herself to follow, why is it so unusual this time?

Daiyu pondered for a long time and still didn't understand what Jia Min meant, so she had no choice but to give up. In her memory, Sister Feng's face was beautiful today, but Jia Lian cleaned it up after all, alas!The two of them are really, what a pity.

Dai Yuan sat quietly beside Jia Mu, she was not very close to San Chun, and rarely saw each other in this life, Baochai and Aunt Xue beside her were even rarer, and both bowed their heads in concern, Dai Yu Although Yu Xinxia was puzzled, she didn't really care.

It was only a short time since Jia Baoyu came, and Jia's mother lost her temper. Wang Xifeng laughed and coaxed her for a long time before seeing her better. At this time, Jia Min laughed again and said, "It's hard for me to stay with Yu'er for a long time." But come here once, it's because I miss Baoyu."

She said that Jia Mu was very embarrassed. She knew that her daughter was very dissatisfied with Baoyu's actions. At this moment, everyone in the room was waiting for him, and all of them were elders. Then they called someone to look for them, and they were making a fuss, only to see Jia Baoyu running in in a hurry.

Seeing him coming back, Mother Jia didn't care to be angry, and heard Jia Baoyu say that one of the important concubines of the King of Beijing was gone, and she was even more reluctant to reprimand him. Wanting to say a few words for Baoyu, Jia Min laughed and said, "It turns out that the prince valued Baoyu, so naturally he can't take off the face of the prince."

Jia Baoyu was very guilty of saying that, and Daiyu ignored him for a while, so he hurried forward to chat and joke, but Daiyu still ignored him.

Besides, Jia Mu was worried at first, so she was naturally anxious and ruthless; now that she sees Baoyu coming back, she is more than happy, so where is there still hatred? I won't mention it.I was also afraid that he would not be useful, or that I hadn't eaten elsewhere, and I was panicked on the road, so I coaxed him in every possible way.Qingwen has already come to serve, and everyone is still listening to the play.The performance of "The Story of the Hairpin" that day, Jia Mu, Aunt Xue and others were all sad and weeping, some laughed, some hated, and some scolded.Daiyu, on the other hand, looked at it silently, but she lamented in her heart that after many twists and turns, Wang Shipeng and Qian Yulian finally got married as lovers.

But at this time, Jia Min laughed softly: "Sure enough, all marriages in the world are destined. This Qian Yulian is destined to be the daughter-in-law of the Wang family. Even if the prime minister's daughter thinks highly of Wang Shipeng, so what? After all, fate is something that no one can defy."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Jia's mother, but also Aunt Xue and Baochai all changed their faces slightly. They all had ghosts in their hearts, so they all felt a little guilty, but Daiyu seemed to be referring to her mother's words, but she didn't know why. up.

Now she just watched the play quietly, although she knew in her heart that Jia Baoyu had just gone to sacrifice to Jin Chuan'er, but now she didn't take it seriously, so naturally she wouldn't speak out to ridicule her.

Besides, Jia Mu thought that today is no better than in the past, so she must teach Sister Feng to have a good day.Ben himself was lazy to sit at the table, and just leaned on the couch in the inner room to watch a play with Jia Min and Aunt Xue, picking whatever he liked and putting it on the small table, eating and talking casually.Daiyu went to Zhuoer with all the sisters, only far away from Jia Baoyu.

Because of Jia Min's words just now, both Jia's mother and Aunt Xue felt a little uncomfortable, but Jia Min continued to laugh and said: "I went to Peng's mansion two days ago and heard from Mrs. Xie that their family's sister Hui's marriage is about to be finalized. I can't help but think of our Yu'er, although our master and I love her, but we don't want to delay the child's lifelong event, and when the time comes to choose a good one, naturally we will ask our mother to give us palms."

This remark reminded Jia Mu that she must not be thinking of beating Daiyu. Sure enough, Jia Mu's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she smiled again after a long time: "That's natural. The one I love the most is Yu girl."

Jia Min didn't take it seriously when she heard it, but she smiled and turned to Aunt Xue who had kept her head down all the time, nodded and smiled and said: "Speaking of Yu'er, I think that Xue's brother and Baochai haven't kissed each other yet. I do have a few ready-made people here, if my aunt is interested, I will also be a big matchmaker."

Seeing her like this, Aunt Xue thumped in her heart and felt that this was wrong. Jia Min has always been too lazy to say a word to her. Why is it so good today, and she still wants to be a matchmaker for her family?

Thinking of Xue Pan still lying on the bed and unable to get off the ground, Aunt Xue felt guilty for a while. Could it be that the Lin family heard something?

"Thank you, Madam, for your concern. We are also looking at Pan'er's matter. When Pan'er is settled, we will arrive at Baochai."

"So that's the case." Jia Min smiled slightly, looked up at Baochai who was sitting beside Daiyu outside the curtain, and smiled again: "It's time for Baochai to say goodbye, unlike us Yuer I'm still young, so I can choose slowly. Besides, our master is now a second-rank official. Although he is not a famous family, but as the saying goes, we are not easily underestimated by others in our Lin family. Yu'er has some kind of blessing, but, this status is not enough, I see, let's get rid of those disgusting thoughts as soon as possible."
