When Mrs. Wang heard Baoyu ask her why Xue's family hurried to Beijing, she didn't even care about the possible delay on the way during the Chinese New Year, and her face was a little uncomfortable.I want to say it for fear of losing face, and I feel a little blocked if I don't say it.
And because now Jia Zheng does not enter her room except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.And Jia Zhu also invited Ann every day and left, refusing to say a word to her.Li Wan was always in front of her eyes, but she was her daughter-in-law, not a girl, so she would only look down on herself if she knew many things, and she couldn't say anything about it.
This matter has been in her heart for a long time, and Mrs. Wang also wants to find someone to vomit her distress.In addition, Baoyu is more than anyone else in Jiamu's place, and Jiamu will most likely respond to what he says.Mrs. Wang also wanted to persuade him, so that he could go to Jia Mu to intercede again.
So after thinking about it, Mrs. Wang made up her mind, but what she said was still a little evasive: "Speaking of which, it's because your cousin is not up to date, and makes your aunt worry about it. It's not the beginning of the year, and I don't know why it makes people It's false, you have to say that he killed someone and sued the government. It was your uncle who came forward to tear up the matter. It's just that no one controls him in Jinling. Your aunt is worried that he will be punished again. It’s wrong, I only thought about coming to Beijing after the matter was settled.”
Baoyu heard her talk easily, and also knew that this matter must involve an official to protect her. Mrs. Wang didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask further questions. It was enough to know that Xue Baochai's entry into the palace in this life was in vain again:
"Even if my uncle can tear things apart, why don't you let my cousin go to my uncle's place? If I want my uncle to restrain my nephew, it will be more justifiable than my master."
Knowing that although her youngest son is young, it is not easy for people to fool him, Mrs. Wang sighed: "It is easy for him to walk alone, but your aunt only has one son, how can she be willing? It’s an imperial businessman, it’s not like we just live our lives behind closed doors, there must always be a man supporting us to communicate with people.”
Baoyu just nodded: "My wife is right. It's just that the master is too late to go to the yamen on weekdays. I'm afraid I don't have time to discipline my cousin. Besides, there are many nobles in Beijing. I'm afraid my cousin will bump into someone again. Uncle is not in Beijing. It's even worse."
Why doesn't Mrs. Wang understand this truth?This is also the reason why Aunt Xue wanted to live in Rongguo Mansion - it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and once the Xue family entered and exited Rongguo Mansion, others would always look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face.What's more, Jia Zhu has become an official now, and Jia Lian and Baoyu look good. It would be great if Xue Pan could get close to Zhu Zhechi.
"So you should also go to the old lady and tell your aunt about the difficulties of their family." Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu expectantly.
But Baoyu paused, and said a little dejectedly: "I'm still explaining for my aunt's family. Now my master and I have annoyed the old lady, so I ask my wife to explain it to me tomorrow."
Hearing that Baoyu had offended Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang hurriedly let go of her worries about Xue's family and asked, "Well, why did you offend the old lady? Usually the old lady loves you the most. But because of your aunt's What, the old lady angered you?"
Baoyu said the purpose of his trip: "It's not about my aunt. It's just that I heard that Lian's second brother is going back to Jinling to take the exam, and I want to be with him. The master also thinks it is feasible, and the old lady is not happy. .It's just that this matter is almost inseparable, and my wife will help me to pack things up."
Baoyu is only so old, and he has to travel such a long way!Mrs. Wang's reaction was even worse than that of Jia's mother: "What is the same? You are only a little old, so you want to take the exam. Your brother has never been to such a far place. Why do you have to travel so far as a child?"
Baoyu didn't take her reaction seriously. Anyway, Jia Zheng had already settled the matter, and even Jia's mother no longer objected. No matter how strong Mrs. Wang's reaction was, she just said happily: "Think about it, madam. My brother will be able to be a prince in the future, so he has to be born in the imperial examination. If I don’t try it, my wife will think I’m a child every year, when will I be a head?”
Mrs. Wang said angrily: "It's only your fault that your master didn't succeed in becoming a nobleman. If you were so young, why would you have to suffer this crime?"
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Madam be careful. The imperial court has its own rules for the inheritance of the title. Even in ordinary families, there is no eldest son who does not attack but allows the second son to attack. Don't say that the master is the second son, but the master is really the second son." Xi Jue, and big brother is still here, so it's not my turn."
It is also because Jia Zhu is still alive in this life, Mrs. Wang can never say that Jia Lian will not be able to take over the title in the future, but Baoyu can take over this title.In his heart, he was reluctant to let his son endure hardships, lest he would hold that piece of jade and start talking like in the original book:
"You were born with jade, and you are born with great fortune. When you grow up, it will show up naturally, and there will be noble people who value you. Why bother to make trouble for yourself?"
But Baoyu disagreed: "People say that the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. If I don't work hard, can I sit at home and wait, and people will be able to give me a reputation as a scholar, or can I not be an official?"
Mrs. Wang saw that she said him, he still had a lot of reason waiting for her, how could she not be angry: "How old are you, how do you know that when you grow up, no noble person will come to see you when they hear that you were born with jade?" Are you capable?"
Baoyu stood up with a blushing face, took off the jade on his chest, and threw it on the ground: "what is born with jade and not born with jade, I have never seen the benefits of this thing, it's a shame Things are restrained by it, so I don't want this trouble."
No one expected him to make such a sudden move, and it was too late to even stop him.Mrs. Wang didn't want to say a word to herself, so she made Baoyu suddenly throw the jade, and stared blankly at him speechless.
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Wang, Jin Chuan hurried forward to pick up the jade and held it in front of Mrs. Wang: "Madam, the jade is fine."
Only then did Mrs. Wang regain her senses, with tears streaming down her cheeks: "Now you've really grown up, and you beat me up in front of me. Fortunately, I'm fine. If there's something, wouldn't the old lady and the master not Are you talking about me? Everyone raises their sons to guard against old age, so I’m fine, the son who’s conceived in October should find a job for me first.”
Baoyu saw that the jade let him fall heavily, but his appearance remained motionless.I also sighed in my heart that it was too hard, and I finally found a reason to throw it, and I ended up with such a result.On the face, he was still stubborn, unwilling to give in to Mrs. Wang.
Seeing his refusal to admit his mistakes, Mrs. Wang felt even more bitter. She felt that even the youngest of the three children she had given birth to was separated from her, and her crying became louder and louder.
Fortunately, Lixiangyuan is still some distance away from the main courtyard, and Jiamu can't get any letter from her for a while.It's just that they couldn't let their mothers be so stiff, so Jin Chuan had to make up his own mind and asked the girl to call Jia Zhu and his wife—Jia Zheng should have rested in the study by now, and Jia Zhu couldn't let Mrs. Wang be quiet after a while. It's not too late to invite him.
After Jia Zhu got the letter, she came in a hurry with Li Wan. When she entered the door, she saw Baoyu kneeling straight on the ground, while Mrs. Wang was crying and scolding.But that was scolded and his neck was stuck, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he was admitting his mistake.
"Baoyu, you still haven't apologized to your wife!" Jia Zhu took out her brother's money as soon as she entered the room, and said solemnly to Baoyu.
Only then did Baoyu raise his head, and everyone saw that there were tears on his cheeks too, but it was not like Mrs. Wang, who wept so much that everyone knew it.But who doesn't know, the more silent tears, the more hurtful?Jia Zhu was stunned for a moment——Baoyu didn't like to cry when she was a child, but now that he was made to cry like this, it could be that his wife had done something unacceptable.
When Mrs. Wang saw her eldest son coming, she also felt that she had a backbone: "You come to judge me. People say that you are raising a son to guard against old age, but this evil will only make me angry to death."
Jia Zhu had to let Mrs. Wang calm down, and asked Li Wan to help Mrs. Wang wash up.As soon as the fuss came down, Baoyu still knelt straight in the middle of the ground, refusing to get up no matter how others called.
Even if she is as selfish as Mrs. Wang, she still cares about the child she gave birth to. Seeing Baoyu like this, she said: "Why, you didn't beat me enough just now, and now you have to give me a reputation for being unkind." No, hurry up and get up!"
Then Baoyu said: "Madam, please agree with the master's words and let the son go back to Jinling to take the exam with Lian's second brother after the new year. The son's things don't dare to work, madam. I must ask my sister-in-law to take care of my son. .”
Jia Zhu thought she understood what was going on, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Although Baoyu is smaller, if he and Lian'er are together, they can take care of each other. Besides, the master agreed to this matter, and the wife feels distressed. He, let him go through this too."
Mrs. Wang was almost overwhelmed by Jia Zhu's words.It's just that the eldest son refused to talk to her after the Yuanchun incident that year, and if he could say a word less on weekdays, he would not say a word more.Today has been said to her more than half a month.
But Baoyu threw Yu to the ground in front of her just now, how could Mrs. Wang calm down her anger because of Jia Zhu's few words?He said loudly to Jia Zhu: "Do you know what he did? He dropped all the jade that fell to the ground with him. Fortunately, the jade is still strong. If it really falls, the old lady and the master asked, Isn't it all mine? Even if the old lady and master don't ask, is he a son, should he beat this jade for me to see?"
Jia Zhu had just learned of this.Although he usually doesn't want to talk to Madam Wang, he still has the courtesy.Hearing that Baoyu threw the jade for no reason, his expression sank: "Baoyu, where have you read that book? How can you beat your wife? Why don't you hurry up and make amends to your wife. Go back and copy the Book of Filial Piety for me. "
Baoyu was still stumped, but this time he gave Jia Zhu a reason: "Brother, do you know what the wife is talking about? He also said that there will be great fortune, and there will be noble people in the future. What did the wife say about the elder sister back then?" Come on, brother, have you forgotten? Now it’s falling on me again. It’s all because of this jade, why don’t I drop it, so that I don’t know who will use it to plot against me in the future.”
Jia Zhu already knew that Baoyu was not an unreasonable child, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt that Mrs. Wang must have done something that made Baoyu angry, which caused him to have a conflict with Mrs. Wang.Now that I have heard Baoyu's reasoning, although I feel it is a bit far-fetched—Yuanchun was a girl at that time, but Baoyu was a man, and he would not save it and send it to the palace—but it is hard to guarantee that Mrs. Wang will not, because Baoyu is young. Has the heart to win over him.
Seeing that Jia Zhu had already stood up: "My wife has no regrets about what happened that day, and she still thinks that such a thing will not happen again on Baoyu? Baoyu, it's getting late, go back and rest your bed Don't worry, your sister-in-law will clean up your things for you."
Baoyu glanced at Jia Zhu worriedly, and Jia Zhu knew what he was worried about, so she still smiled at him, "Don't worry, I won't be angry."
You are not angry, but Mrs. Wang is angry!Thinking of her as a mother, she was beaten by Baoyu just after saying a few words to her youngest son.After finally looking forward to the arrival of the eldest son, forget about talking for her, and just let the younger son go.I can't bear it even if I am a person.
As soon as Baoyu left the room, she heard Mrs. Wang crying loudly: "What evil did I do to give birth to such evils. Everyone doesn't take me seriously."
Then I heard Jia Zhu say in a low voice: "Madam is thinking of letting the old lady and the master know about this?" Successfully made Mrs. Wang stop crying.Giving Jia Zhu a thumbs up in his heart, Baoyu went back to his yard without any psychological pressure.
Even if Lixiangyuan is far away from Rongqingtang, but they are all in the same mansion, how far can it be?The next day, Jia's mother knew that Mrs. Wang had a dispute with Baoyu, and vaguely knew what she said about Baoyu's great fortune.
Jia's mother also felt that Baoyu was born with jade, which was a great fortune.But if this is the case, after the Yuanchun incident, it is not allowed to be mentioned in the Rongguo Mansion.Now Mrs. Wang, a mother, doesn't care about the future of the child, and she brings it up with red lips and white teeth. Jia's mother can't bear it.
She didn't want to be alone, so she acted very calmly, and said lightly that the second wife had caught the cold, so she didn't need to come to her to say hello.He also said that Li Wan's Jia Lan was still young, so Li Wan and Jia Lan didn't have to pay Mrs. Wang any more to avoid getting sick.
All of a sudden Mrs. Wang couldn't even see a relative besides the girl and woman. Even if she wanted to ask if the old lady agreed to Baoyu's return to Jinling, she couldn't do it.I had no choice but to hate secretly in Lixiangyuan alone, or just rub Aunt Zhao's mother and son.
Fearing that Mrs. Wang would really use some means to bond with Baoyu, Jia's mother had to rethink the necessity of Baoyu's return to Jinling.It's just that he has a deep relationship with Yuanchun, which makes him conflict with the Great Creation several times in his heart.
But Mrs. Wang is different. She has managed the inner house for many years, and she has always been full of means.This time I found that Baoyu didn't like to listen to the words of great fortune, so he might change his words next time.Once or twice is okay, but three times or four times, it is hard to guarantee that Baoyu will not be fooled by her.
So Jia's mother handed over to Li Wan the matter of tidying up and saluting Baoyu, without saying anything to stop Baoyu from leaving for at least half a year. Not much left.
When Aunt Xue's family dragged their families to Rongguo Mansion to post posts, they found that Rongguo Mansion at this time was no longer what her sister wrote in her letter.Menzi heard that they came to worship Mrs. Wang, and someone led them in.But no matter how you look at that road, it is not the way to the main house. After asking, I found out that Mrs. Wang has already lived in Lixiangyuan at this time.
Xue Pan didn't want to live in the Rongguo Mansion at first, but now that Mrs. Wang had lost her power, she whispered to Aunt Xue: "Mom, Auntie is not happy here, I'm afraid we can't cause trouble for Auntie anymore."
Even when Xue Baochai followed suit again, she felt that what her brother said was reasonable, and watched Aunt Xue not speak, just waiting for her decision.Aunt Xue hesitated: "Let's talk about it after meeting your aunt. Our two families have always been relatives for several lifetimes. If their old lady is hospitable and keeps guests, there is no reason for us to insist on living here."
It's a pity that this is just Aunt Xue's wishful thinking.When Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Xue, she also cried a lot and talked about her dissatisfaction.Before he could finish speaking, Li Wan brought Jia Lan over to meet his concubine.
Mrs. Wang wanted to embarrass Li Wan—since Mother Jia said she had a cold, Li Wan's mother and son just followed Jia Zhu to kowtow outside the Pear Fragrance Court every day, without showing a single face—but she was afraid of losing her dignity in front of her sister. Let the younger sister feel that she is a mother-in-law, and she can't even handle a daughter-in-law.
Li Wan, Aunt Xue and others met the ceremony, and then asked with a smile: "Madam, are you going to visit the old lady with my aunt now?"
There are guests in the house, and it is supposed to pay a visit to Jia Mu, the oldest elder.But Mrs. Wang was grounded by Jia Mu in a disguised form, how dare she leave the Lixiangyuan so easily?
It's not easy to talk about it in front of Aunt Xue, so I just gave Li Wan a casual look: "Your aunt and the others have come from a long way, so you must let them wash up."
Li Wan also knew her worry, and knew that she was trying to test Jia's mother's intentions.But I have already been ordered by Jia Zhuer, so I am not allowed to talk too much about this matter, so I just smiled and said: "My wife is right." Don't say a word.
This made Mrs. Wang's temptation feel like hitting a cotton field, with no real point.I had no choice but to say to Li Wan: "Go to the old lady's place to see if the old lady has rested. Don't let the old lady pick things up as soon as your aunt comes."
Aunt Xue laughed hurriedly: "It's just that the old lady is resting, it's okay for us to be juniors and so on. Why let the children go back and forth to waste time."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had nothing else to say, Li Wan called the girls to come up to serve Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, to wash up.Xue Pan over there is a problem—both Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu have gone to the government office, and Baoyu has had a fight with Mrs. Wang since that day, and she has never seen Mrs. Wang's face.Mrs. Wang is a mother, and she didn't apologize to her son for being careful, and now Xue Pan has no one to accompany her.
Even with Jia Zhu's order, Li Wan couldn't really leave Xue Pan alone in Lixiangyuan.After taking a careful look at Mrs. Wang, Li Wan said softly: "Ma'am, Baoyu thinks it's time to leave school now, why don't you let him accompany Brother Xue to meet the elder."
With a sigh in her heart, Mrs. Wang, who still had a smile on her face, said to Aunt Xue: "You don't know, Baoyu is under the control of our master, and he is not allowed to delay his studies every day. Now I heard that Lian'er is going to take the exam. , I have to go back to Jinling to try. Two days ago, I asked me to say a few words, but I still don’t want to.”
Aunt Xue couldn't stop praising Baoyu. Even Baochai heard that Baoyu was going to take the exam at a young age. No matter whether he passed the exam or not, his ambition was admirable.
Seeing Xue Pan sitting there, neither standing nor standing, Baochai couldn't help but said, "Brother Bao is so young, he has such ambition. Brother should also contact him more to ask for advice."
These words made Xue Pan even more uncomfortable.Fortunately, his younger sister always liked to preach to him on weekdays, and she just listened to it and passed.Li Wan felt that Baochai's words were exaggerating. If Aunt Xue said these words, everyone would think that as a mother, she was willing to let her son improve.But Baochai's younger sister always made people feel a little awkward when she said it.
After a while, Baoyu arrived, and Mrs. Wang felt aggrieved, so she had no choice but to give him a smile in front of Aunt Xue: "But get out of class is over, come and see your aunt, brother and sister."
Baoyu has never been short of courtesies. He went up to meet Aunt Xue and greeted Xue Pan.The strange thing is that the stone in front of his chest is slightly hot when facing Baochai, but it is not as hot as when facing Daiyu, as if his limbs and bones are somewhat comfortable.
This is really a distinction.Baoyu let out a chuckle in his heart, and was quite disapproving of the way this stone looked at people. No wonder the original owner only threw the jade at Daiyu in the original book, and listened to Xue Baochai's lectures endlessly. It turned out that there was a reason.
But no matter how it behaves here, Baoyu, who has been fighting the stone for eight years, said that after such a long period of time, the eight-year war of resistance has been won, and I still can't handle you with a stone?
With a flat face and few words, his eyes are determined not to look at Xue Baochai. Believe it or not, such a person still feels that he has a good impression of Xue Baochai!
The same is true.Seeing his behavior, although Aunt Xue felt that this child was not easy to get close to, she also thought it was due to the upbringing in the Rongguo Mansion, and said to Mrs. Wang: "What a polite child. What is there for my sister to be dissatisfied with? My son is also an official, and Baoyu himself is so motivated. Even in Yuanchun, I heard that the husband's family treated him well."
That is to say, but who can know that the three children are not close to him?Mrs. Wang still had a satisfied smile on her face: "It's just that these three have their own ideas, and I can't help but decide everything."
"It's good for children to have ideas. They are always motivated and filial. It's not like me, a scourge, who is not as big as Baoyu, and I can't stop fighting with him every day." Aunt Xue sighed.
Mrs. Wang wanted to persuade, but she didn't know what to persuade.If Baoyu hadn't come, he could still say something straightforward.But there is a Baoyu who is about to turn eight years old and wants to take the exam for a scholar. Mrs. Wang really can't say such a thing.
Or when Li Wan saw that Baoyu and Xue's family had finished their conversation, he said to Mrs. Wang, "Madam, let Baoyu and Brother Xue go to see the elder together now?"
Hearing that he was asked to take Xue Dafool to see Jia Amnesty, Baoyu was stunned.How much Jia Amnesty doesn't want to see people from the Wang family, don't Mrs. Wang and Li Wan know about it?What if he couldn't bear it and kicked Xue Pan out directly?
And because now Jia Zheng does not enter her room except on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.And Jia Zhu also invited Ann every day and left, refusing to say a word to her.Li Wan was always in front of her eyes, but she was her daughter-in-law, not a girl, so she would only look down on herself if she knew many things, and she couldn't say anything about it.
This matter has been in her heart for a long time, and Mrs. Wang also wants to find someone to vomit her distress.In addition, Baoyu is more than anyone else in Jiamu's place, and Jiamu will most likely respond to what he says.Mrs. Wang also wanted to persuade him, so that he could go to Jia Mu to intercede again.
So after thinking about it, Mrs. Wang made up her mind, but what she said was still a little evasive: "Speaking of which, it's because your cousin is not up to date, and makes your aunt worry about it. It's not the beginning of the year, and I don't know why it makes people It's false, you have to say that he killed someone and sued the government. It was your uncle who came forward to tear up the matter. It's just that no one controls him in Jinling. Your aunt is worried that he will be punished again. It’s wrong, I only thought about coming to Beijing after the matter was settled.”
Baoyu heard her talk easily, and also knew that this matter must involve an official to protect her. Mrs. Wang didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask further questions. It was enough to know that Xue Baochai's entry into the palace in this life was in vain again:
"Even if my uncle can tear things apart, why don't you let my cousin go to my uncle's place? If I want my uncle to restrain my nephew, it will be more justifiable than my master."
Knowing that although her youngest son is young, it is not easy for people to fool him, Mrs. Wang sighed: "It is easy for him to walk alone, but your aunt only has one son, how can she be willing? It’s an imperial businessman, it’s not like we just live our lives behind closed doors, there must always be a man supporting us to communicate with people.”
Baoyu just nodded: "My wife is right. It's just that the master is too late to go to the yamen on weekdays. I'm afraid I don't have time to discipline my cousin. Besides, there are many nobles in Beijing. I'm afraid my cousin will bump into someone again. Uncle is not in Beijing. It's even worse."
Why doesn't Mrs. Wang understand this truth?This is also the reason why Aunt Xue wanted to live in Rongguo Mansion - it was good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and once the Xue family entered and exited Rongguo Mansion, others would always look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face.What's more, Jia Zhu has become an official now, and Jia Lian and Baoyu look good. It would be great if Xue Pan could get close to Zhu Zhechi.
"So you should also go to the old lady and tell your aunt about the difficulties of their family." Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu expectantly.
But Baoyu paused, and said a little dejectedly: "I'm still explaining for my aunt's family. Now my master and I have annoyed the old lady, so I ask my wife to explain it to me tomorrow."
Hearing that Baoyu had offended Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang hurriedly let go of her worries about Xue's family and asked, "Well, why did you offend the old lady? Usually the old lady loves you the most. But because of your aunt's What, the old lady angered you?"
Baoyu said the purpose of his trip: "It's not about my aunt. It's just that I heard that Lian's second brother is going back to Jinling to take the exam, and I want to be with him. The master also thinks it is feasible, and the old lady is not happy. .It's just that this matter is almost inseparable, and my wife will help me to pack things up."
Baoyu is only so old, and he has to travel such a long way!Mrs. Wang's reaction was even worse than that of Jia's mother: "What is the same? You are only a little old, so you want to take the exam. Your brother has never been to such a far place. Why do you have to travel so far as a child?"
Baoyu didn't take her reaction seriously. Anyway, Jia Zheng had already settled the matter, and even Jia's mother no longer objected. No matter how strong Mrs. Wang's reaction was, she just said happily: "Think about it, madam. My brother will be able to be a prince in the future, so he has to be born in the imperial examination. If I don’t try it, my wife will think I’m a child every year, when will I be a head?”
Mrs. Wang said angrily: "It's only your fault that your master didn't succeed in becoming a nobleman. If you were so young, why would you have to suffer this crime?"
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Madam be careful. The imperial court has its own rules for the inheritance of the title. Even in ordinary families, there is no eldest son who does not attack but allows the second son to attack. Don't say that the master is the second son, but the master is really the second son." Xi Jue, and big brother is still here, so it's not my turn."
It is also because Jia Zhu is still alive in this life, Mrs. Wang can never say that Jia Lian will not be able to take over the title in the future, but Baoyu can take over this title.In his heart, he was reluctant to let his son endure hardships, lest he would hold that piece of jade and start talking like in the original book:
"You were born with jade, and you are born with great fortune. When you grow up, it will show up naturally, and there will be noble people who value you. Why bother to make trouble for yourself?"

Mrs. Wang saw that she said him, he still had a lot of reason waiting for her, how could she not be angry: "How old are you, how do you know that when you grow up, no noble person will come to see you when they hear that you were born with jade?" Are you capable?"
Baoyu stood up with a blushing face, took off the jade on his chest, and threw it on the ground: "what is born with jade and not born with jade, I have never seen the benefits of this thing, it's a shame Things are restrained by it, so I don't want this trouble."

If there's something, wouldn't the old lady and the master not Are you talking about me?

Baoyu saw that the jade let him fall heavily, but his appearance remained motionless.I also sighed in my heart that it was too hard, and I finally found a reason to throw it, and I ended up with such a result.On the face, he was still stubborn, unwilling to give in to Mrs. Wang.
Seeing his refusal to admit his mistakes, Mrs. Wang felt even more bitter. She felt that even the youngest of the three children she had given birth to was separated from her, and her crying became louder and louder.
Fortunately, Lixiangyuan is still some distance away from the main courtyard, and Jiamu can't get any letter from her for a while.It's just that they couldn't let their mothers be so stiff, so Jin Chuan had to make up his own mind and asked the girl to call Jia Zhu and his wife—Jia Zheng should have rested in the study by now, and Jia Zhu couldn't let Mrs. Wang be quiet after a while. It's not too late to invite him.
After Jia Zhu got the letter, she came in a hurry with Li Wan. When she entered the door, she saw Baoyu kneeling straight on the ground, while Mrs. Wang was crying and scolding.But that was scolded and his neck was stuck, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like he was admitting his mistake.
"Baoyu, you still haven't apologized to your wife!" Jia Zhu took out her brother's money as soon as she entered the room, and said solemnly to Baoyu.
Only then did Baoyu raise his head, and everyone saw that there were tears on his cheeks too, but it was not like Mrs. Wang, who wept so much that everyone knew it.But who doesn't know, the more silent tears, the more hurtful?Jia Zhu was stunned for a moment——Baoyu didn't like to cry when she was a child, but now that he was made to cry like this, it could be that his wife had done something unacceptable.

Even if she is as selfish as Mrs. Wang, she still cares about the child she gave birth to. Seeing Baoyu like this, she said: "Why, you didn't beat me enough just now, and now you have to give me a reputation for being unkind." No, hurry up and get up!"
Then Baoyu said: "Madam, please agree with the master's words and let the son go back to Jinling to take the exam with Lian's second brother after the new year. The son's things don't dare to work, madam. I must ask my sister-in-law to take care of my son. .”
Jia Zhu thought she understood what was going on, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Although Baoyu is smaller, if he and Lian'er are together, they can take care of each other. Besides, the master agreed to this matter, and the wife feels distressed. He, let him go through this too."
Mrs. Wang was almost overwhelmed by Jia Zhu's words.It's just that the eldest son refused to talk to her after the Yuanchun incident that year, and if he could say a word less on weekdays, he would not say a word more.Today has been said to her more than half a month.
But Baoyu threw Yu to the ground in front of her just now, how could Mrs. Wang calm down her anger because of Jia Zhu's few words?He said loudly to Jia Zhu: "Do you know what he did? He dropped all the jade that fell to the ground with him. Fortunately, the jade is still strong. If it really falls, the old lady and the master asked, Isn't it all mine? Even if the old lady and master don't ask, is he a son, should he beat this jade for me to see?"
Jia Zhu had just learned of this.Although he usually doesn't want to talk to Madam Wang, he still has the courtesy.Hearing that Baoyu threw the jade for no reason, his expression sank: "Baoyu, where have you read that book? How can you beat your wife? Why don't you hurry up and make amends to your wife. Go back and copy the Book of Filial Piety for me. "
Baoyu was still stumped, but this time he gave Jia Zhu a reason: "Brother, do you know what the wife is talking about? He also said that there will be great fortune, and there will be noble people in the future. What did the wife say about the elder sister back then?" Come on, brother, have you forgotten? Now it’s falling on me again. It’s all because of this jade, why don’t I drop it, so that I don’t know who will use it to plot against me in the future.”
Jia Zhu already knew that Baoyu was not an unreasonable child, and as soon as he entered the room, he felt that Mrs. Wang must have done something that made Baoyu angry, which caused him to have a conflict with Mrs. Wang.Now that I have heard Baoyu's reasoning, although I feel it is a bit far-fetched—Yuanchun was a girl at that time, but Baoyu was a man, and he would not save it and send it to the palace—but it is hard to guarantee that Mrs. Wang will not, because Baoyu is young. Has the heart to win over him.
Seeing that Jia Zhu had already stood up: "My wife has no regrets about what happened that day, and she still thinks that such a thing will not happen again on Baoyu? Baoyu, it's getting late, go back and rest your bed Don't worry, your sister-in-law will clean up your things for you."
Baoyu glanced at Jia Zhu worriedly, and Jia Zhu knew what he was worried about, so she still smiled at him, "Don't worry, I won't be angry."
You are not angry, but Mrs. Wang is angry!Thinking of her as a mother, she was beaten by Baoyu just after saying a few words to her youngest son.After finally looking forward to the arrival of the eldest son, forget about talking for her, and just let the younger son go.I can't bear it even if I am a person.
As soon as Baoyu left the room, she heard Mrs. Wang crying loudly: "What evil did I do to give birth to such evils. Everyone doesn't take me seriously."
Then I heard Jia Zhu say in a low voice: "Madam is thinking of letting the old lady and the master know about this?" Successfully made Mrs. Wang stop crying.Giving Jia Zhu a thumbs up in his heart, Baoyu went back to his yard without any psychological pressure.
Even if Lixiangyuan is far away from Rongqingtang, but they are all in the same mansion, how far can it be?The next day, Jia's mother knew that Mrs. Wang had a dispute with Baoyu, and vaguely knew what she said about Baoyu's great fortune.
Jia's mother also felt that Baoyu was born with jade, which was a great fortune.But if this is the case, after the Yuanchun incident, it is not allowed to be mentioned in the Rongguo Mansion.Now Mrs. Wang, a mother, doesn't care about the future of the child, and she brings it up with red lips and white teeth. Jia's mother can't bear it.
She didn't want to be alone, so she acted very calmly, and said lightly that the second wife had caught the cold, so she didn't need to come to her to say hello.He also said that Li Wan's Jia Lan was still young, so Li Wan and Jia Lan didn't have to pay Mrs. Wang any more to avoid getting sick.
All of a sudden Mrs. Wang couldn't even see a relative besides the girl and woman. Even if she wanted to ask if the old lady agreed to Baoyu's return to Jinling, she couldn't do it.I had no choice but to hate secretly in Lixiangyuan alone, or just rub Aunt Zhao's mother and son.
Fearing that Mrs. Wang would really use some means to bond with Baoyu, Jia's mother had to rethink the necessity of Baoyu's return to Jinling.It's just that he has a deep relationship with Yuanchun, which makes him conflict with the Great Creation several times in his heart.
But Mrs. Wang is different. She has managed the inner house for many years, and she has always been full of means.This time I found that Baoyu didn't like to listen to the words of great fortune, so he might change his words next time.Once or twice is okay, but three times or four times, it is hard to guarantee that Baoyu will not be fooled by her.
So Jia's mother handed over to Li Wan the matter of tidying up and saluting Baoyu, without saying anything to stop Baoyu from leaving for at least half a year. Not much left.
When Aunt Xue's family dragged their families to Rongguo Mansion to post posts, they found that Rongguo Mansion at this time was no longer what her sister wrote in her letter.Menzi heard that they came to worship Mrs. Wang, and someone led them in.But no matter how you look at that road, it is not the way to the main house. After asking, I found out that Mrs. Wang has already lived in Lixiangyuan at this time.
Xue Pan didn't want to live in the Rongguo Mansion at first, but now that Mrs. Wang had lost her power, she whispered to Aunt Xue: "Mom, Auntie is not happy here, I'm afraid we can't cause trouble for Auntie anymore."
Even when Xue Baochai followed suit again, she felt that what her brother said was reasonable, and watched Aunt Xue not speak, just waiting for her decision.Aunt Xue hesitated: "Let's talk about it after meeting your aunt. Our two families have always been relatives for several lifetimes. If their old lady is hospitable and keeps guests, there is no reason for us to insist on living here."
It's a pity that this is just Aunt Xue's wishful thinking.When Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Xue, she also cried a lot and talked about her dissatisfaction.Before he could finish speaking, Li Wan brought Jia Lan over to meet his concubine.
Mrs. Wang wanted to embarrass Li Wan—since Mother Jia said she had a cold, Li Wan's mother and son just followed Jia Zhu to kowtow outside the Pear Fragrance Court every day, without showing a single face—but she was afraid of losing her dignity in front of her sister. Let the younger sister feel that she is a mother-in-law, and she can't even handle a daughter-in-law.
Li Wan, Aunt Xue and others met the ceremony, and then asked with a smile: "Madam, are you going to visit the old lady with my aunt now?"
There are guests in the house, and it is supposed to pay a visit to Jia Mu, the oldest elder.But Mrs. Wang was grounded by Jia Mu in a disguised form, how dare she leave the Lixiangyuan so easily?
It's not easy to talk about it in front of Aunt Xue, so I just gave Li Wan a casual look: "Your aunt and the others have come from a long way, so you must let them wash up."
Li Wan also knew her worry, and knew that she was trying to test Jia's mother's intentions.But I have already been ordered by Jia Zhuer, so I am not allowed to talk too much about this matter, so I just smiled and said: "My wife is right." Don't say a word.
This made Mrs. Wang's temptation feel like hitting a cotton field, with no real point.I had no choice but to say to Li Wan: "Go to the old lady's place to see if the old lady has rested. Don't let the old lady pick things up as soon as your aunt comes."
Aunt Xue laughed hurriedly: "It's just that the old lady is resting, it's okay for us to be juniors and so on. Why let the children go back and forth to waste time."
Seeing that Mrs. Wang had nothing else to say, Li Wan called the girls to come up to serve Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter, to wash up.Xue Pan over there is a problem—both Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu have gone to the government office, and Baoyu has had a fight with Mrs. Wang since that day, and she has never seen Mrs. Wang's face.Mrs. Wang is a mother, and she didn't apologize to her son for being careful, and now Xue Pan has no one to accompany her.
Even with Jia Zhu's order, Li Wan couldn't really leave Xue Pan alone in Lixiangyuan.After taking a careful look at Mrs. Wang, Li Wan said softly: "Ma'am, Baoyu thinks it's time to leave school now, why don't you let him accompany Brother Xue to meet the elder."
With a sigh in her heart, Mrs. Wang, who still had a smile on her face, said to Aunt Xue: "You don't know, Baoyu is under the control of our master, and he is not allowed to delay his studies every day. Now I heard that Lian'er is going to take the exam. , I have to go back to Jinling to try. Two days ago, I asked me to say a few words, but I still don’t want to.”
Aunt Xue couldn't stop praising Baoyu. Even Baochai heard that Baoyu was going to take the exam at a young age. No matter whether he passed the exam or not, his ambition was admirable.
Seeing Xue Pan sitting there, neither standing nor standing, Baochai couldn't help but said, "Brother Bao is so young, he has such ambition. Brother should also contact him more to ask for advice."
These words made Xue Pan even more uncomfortable.Fortunately, his younger sister always liked to preach to him on weekdays, and she just listened to it and passed.Li Wan felt that Baochai's words were exaggerating. If Aunt Xue said these words, everyone would think that as a mother, she was willing to let her son improve.But Baochai's younger sister always made people feel a little awkward when she said it.
After a while, Baoyu arrived, and Mrs. Wang felt aggrieved, so she had no choice but to give him a smile in front of Aunt Xue: "But get out of class is over, come and see your aunt, brother and sister."
Baoyu has never been short of courtesies. He went up to meet Aunt Xue and greeted Xue Pan.The strange thing is that the stone in front of his chest is slightly hot when facing Baochai, but it is not as hot as when facing Daiyu, as if his limbs and bones are somewhat comfortable.
This is really a distinction.Baoyu let out a chuckle in his heart, and was quite disapproving of the way this stone looked at people. No wonder the original owner only threw the jade at Daiyu in the original book, and listened to Xue Baochai's lectures endlessly. It turned out that there was a reason.
But no matter how it behaves here, Baoyu, who has been fighting the stone for eight years, said that after such a long period of time, the eight-year war of resistance has been won, and I still can't handle you with a stone?
With a flat face and few words, his eyes are determined not to look at Xue Baochai. Believe it or not, such a person still feels that he has a good impression of Xue Baochai!
The same is true.Seeing his behavior, although Aunt Xue felt that this child was not easy to get close to, she also thought it was due to the upbringing in the Rongguo Mansion, and said to Mrs. Wang: "What a polite child. What is there for my sister to be dissatisfied with? My son is also an official, and Baoyu himself is so motivated. Even in Yuanchun, I heard that the husband's family treated him well."
That is to say, but who can know that the three children are not close to him?Mrs. Wang still had a satisfied smile on her face: "It's just that these three have their own ideas, and I can't help but decide everything."
"It's good for children to have ideas. They are always motivated and filial. It's not like me, a scourge, who is not as big as Baoyu, and I can't stop fighting with him every day." Aunt Xue sighed.
Mrs. Wang wanted to persuade, but she didn't know what to persuade.If Baoyu hadn't come, he could still say something straightforward.But there is a Baoyu who is about to turn eight years old and wants to take the exam for a scholar. Mrs. Wang really can't say such a thing.
Or when Li Wan saw that Baoyu and Xue's family had finished their conversation, he said to Mrs. Wang, "Madam, let Baoyu and Brother Xue go to see the elder together now?"
Hearing that he was asked to take Xue Dafool to see Jia Amnesty, Baoyu was stunned.How much Jia Amnesty doesn't want to see people from the Wang family, don't Mrs. Wang and Li Wan know about it?What if he couldn't bear it and kicked Xue Pan out directly?
