Originally, Baoyu wanted to watch how Jia's mother rejected Xue's family to live in Rongguo Mansion when she saw Aunt Xue, and how Aunt Xue looked, and whether Xue Baochai could maintain her calmness and self-control.Now that Li Wan sent Li Wan to take Xue Dafool ​​to see Jia Amnesty, it was inevitable that he would feel aggrieved.

In front of the guests, it was not easy to show this injustice, so I had to sacrifice my flat and paralyzed face, and nodded to Xue Pan, letting him go with me.

That Xue Pan is a man of meat and vegetables. Although Baoyu is young, he was born with a face like a crown jade, eyes like lacquer, red lips and white teeth.Coupled with that expression of not getting close to strangers, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel itchy.

He walked two steps quickly, stood side by side with Baoyu, called "good brother" in his mouth, and asked: "What books did Brother Bao study on weekdays, which gentleman did he go to school with, do you have any good classmates?"

At this time, Baoyu only regarded him as a polite way, and answered his questions casually.It is unavoidable to ask him if he can read and so on.Xue Pan didn't take Baoyu's expressionless face as a disobedience. Seeing that Baoyu was willing to answer him, he was already very happy.

For a while, it was even more embarrassing, and he was about to pull Baoyu's hand.Baoyu passed by without a trace, glanced at him and said, "Brother Xue, hurry up, or if uncle goes out in a while and doesn't visit the master's house, it will seem like brother Xue is being rude."

With his words and this look, Xue Pan seemed to have eaten bee excrement, and the smile on his face became more and more blinding. Makes. Besides, my mother said that Brother Bao was born with jade, and he is the most fortunate person. Getting to know Brother Bao is worth more than how many people you have known."

This doesn't sound like it, but Baoyu can't help but look at Xue Dafool.It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at the person in front of you, you can't wait to drool, what else is there that you don't understand?

Then Baoyu gave way to the side, and Baoyu said with a gloomy face: "Brother Xue, please be careful. I don't know what kind of good luck is not good. I only know that people need to be self-reliant. If you don't want to study and make progress, don't It is said that it is born with jade, no matter how rich and honor is passed down in the family, there will be a day of failure."

Xue Pan originally wanted to get closer to Baoyu, but when he heard Baoyu's words were different from those of his friends and friends, he understood a little bit—this person in front of him, regardless of his age, was not one of the actors he used to get along with. ilk.He had to hold back his thoughts and act as if he had listened to Baoyu's words.

But in the end, he became jealous of Baoyu, and his eyes and movements squeezed towards Baoyu, which annoyed Baoyu so much that he wished to kick him directly, kicking the obscene things in his mind to him. Wang Yangli to go.

Fortunately, Jia Amnesty's study is right in front of you. The servants at the door are used to seeing Baoyu come to Jia Amnesty.

When I was young, the boy who had entered the door ran out again, smiled at Baoyu and said, "My lord, I invite Second Master Bao to come in."

Baoyu then cited Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, please."

Xue Pan also knew that Jia Amnesty was a first-class general, so he had to straighten his clothes and enter with the servant who led the way.After Baoyu saluted Jia Amnesty, he introduced Xue Pan who was following him and said, "Uncle, this is my aunt's cousin. His name is Pan, and his name is Wenlong."

Jia Amnesty originally didn't like to see the Wang family and their relatives, so he felt a little bit displeased.Seeing that Xue Pan was fat and big, with an extravagant face, his dislike was added to five points.I also thought that even if Baoyu brought him here in person, it would have to be based on his close relationship with him on weekdays, so that Baoyu would be very shameless and order people to serve tea with a cold face.

What is there to talk about after sitting down is to ask why Xue's family came to Beijing, how they went smoothly along the way, and whether Xue Pan studied and where he went.

Aunt Xue taught me what I said before, and Xue Pan also used the excuse of sending Baochai to the election, so he didn't go too far.But when it came time to ask the book, Xue Pan was a little overwhelmed.At any rate, Jia She was educated by the heir, so he didn't want to embarrass the guests, so he skipped the words, and his displeasure had risen to nine points.

Seeing Xue Pan again, he didn't forget to look at Baoyu from time to time when he was speaking, and he clearly didn't look at Baoyu because he was afraid that he might say something wrong.

He was also afraid that if this matter was called out, Baoyu would be embarrassed, so he kindly changed the subject and asked: "Your family is lucky that you didn't make it to the road to celebrate the New Year. I don't know if the house has been cleaned up?"

Xue Pan is also unknown, the owner of the house has already asked each other like this, obviously he has no intention of keeping guests, but he couldn't tell, he just said: "I don't know if the house is cleaned up or not. It's just me As soon as I saw Brother Bao, I felt close in my heart, and I wish I could study with Brother Bao every day."

If he said anything else, Jia She could still believe him, but when it came to reading, Jia She could not see how he loved reading?Hearing Baoyu brought out in his words again, what he said was a little impolite:

"Our Baoyu is a self-motivated person. I heard that his second elder brother is going back to Jinling to take the exam. I also want to go with his second elder brother. No matter whether he can pass the exam or not, he will gain some knowledge. I don't know when Wenlong is thinking about it. Exam?"

This Xue family was born in an imperial merchant, so they couldn't pass the exam within three generations.When Jia She asked this question, it was obviously meant to be a little ironic, but also a little bit of a warning, that is, our child is not the same as you, and you should stay away.

Xue Pan still couldn't understand the deep meaning in Jia She's words. Even if he had heard Mrs. Wang mention Baoyu just now and wanted to take the exam, how could he be willing to meet Baoyu himself?Immediately, regardless of who was sitting in front of him, he said to Baoyu:

"Brother Bao, why do you have to suffer and suffer so much? Just tell your brother what you want. Whether you want money or an official, as long as you ask, the brother can do it for you." As he said that, his hand was already facing Baoyu. touched his face.

There was a slap, and before Xue Pan's hand touched Baoyu's face, he had already received a slap in the face.I saw Jia She standing in front of him with burning eyes, like a glaring steel as if: "What are you going to do? I'm not dead yet, even Baoyu's relatives are still here. He wants to study or be an official. What kind of money, do you need to worry about it?"

Has Xue Pan ever been beaten since his father left?This time, it was hit hard again, and a big piece of his face immediately swelled up.When he felt the pain, his temper also became aroused, he stood up and shouted to Jia She angrily:

"What are you, dare to hit your uncle Xue. Baoyu is my brother, what I want to give him is my business, do you need to intervene in it?" As he said that, he was about to rush towards Jia Amnesty, thinking Hit will come back.

Fortunately, Jia She felt that people like Xue Pan and himself would not have any confidential things to say, and there were one or two servants in the room.Seeing that Jia Amnesty was annoyed just now, the two servants had already stood up.When Jia Amnesty hit someone, the servant even surrounded Xue Pan to prevent him from hurting his master.

Baoyu secretly took advantage of her wish, seeing the old dandy clean up a half-baked dandy was very enjoyable.But Xue Pan was also brought over by him, and he still said kindly to Jia She: "Uncle has something to say slowly. Cousin can't speak, uncle just teaches him."

Jia Amnesty saw that Baoyu was still pleading for Xue Pan at this time, and then looked at his age, and felt that Baoyu must not have known about the dirty thoughts of this abominable Xue Pan.Such a pure and good child, it's better not to get in touch with this dirty person, lest all good children be spoiled.

It's not good to say it in front of Baoyu, but only to the people outside: "Go to the old lady's place personally and say it's my words. The second wife's natal family is too precious, and I can't afford to entertain the small family in the Rongguo mansion." Please do as you please. After they leave, I will tell the reason to the old lady."

Someone outside agreed, and some footsteps ran away in the distance.

Baoyu was taken aback by Jia Amnesty's simple and rude behavior. Why did this person chase away the guest before Jia's mother declined?At the side, Jia Amnesty has already called for someone: "Come here, take this young master Xue to the second wife's place quickly. Take it there, don't offend the girls. Come here, wash the floor for the master."

How can Xue Pan be convinced that he is already being dragged out of the house before Xue Pan waits for justice?How many obscenities and swear words came out of his mouth.The boys don't sound like a problem, so they have to gag people's mouths.

This place is in a hurry, and Jia's mother has hurriedly sent someone to come over there. She must let Jia Amnesty take Baoyu and the two to Rongqingtang to ask the right and wrong-she is a person with good face, how can she be an old relative? When they came to the door, they didn't even stay for food, so they were about to be kicked out?Even if you don't look at Mrs. Wang's face, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu are both officials now, and this reputation is going to be lost.

Facing Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty still had no temper.I had to let people still surround Xue Pan to prevent him from hurting himself, and then took Baoyu to Rongqing Hall together.

When I entered the room, I saw that Mrs. Zhang and Yingchun sisters were not in front of them. They thought they had avoided going out. Only Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, accompanied Aunt Xue and her daughter with Jia Mu.The faces of Madam Wang and Aunt Xue's mother and daughter are not good-looking, and Madam Wang's gaze on Jia She is even more murderous.

Jia Mu said bitterly: "You are also an elder, and his juniors don't listen well. If you are willing to teach him face to face, you can teach him a few words. If you don't want to, wait for your brother to come back from the office and tell him. Let your brother teach him." He does too. Who's going to let you get your hands right. That's how I taught you hospitality?"

As soon as the words came out, Baoyu almost laughed.It's no wonder that people say Jia's mother is old and mature. This sounds like complaining about Jia She, but it is clear inside and out. In terms of age, Jia She is Xue Pan's elder, and even giving him a few words is still a lesson.From the perspective of host and guest, Jia She is the host, and if the guest is wrong, he, the host, should also act as the host.

Jia Amnesty was still dissatisfied with this: "The old lady knows what he said to Baoyu. The children in our family are all serious children who study, and their own future is also earned by themselves. Why use a merchant to give money to an official position? Then who has our child become! Besides, if you really have that ability, wouldn’t it be good to ask for an official position? I can’t afford to keep such a capable person in Rongguo Mansion. I also ask Mrs. Xue to find a big temple to accommodate you. Great Bodhisattva of the family."

When Jia Mu heard what he said, her face was not good, and she refused to say a word.It's Mrs. Wang, who didn't understand what Xue Pan said about giving money and official positions?The look at Aunt Xue was also somewhat dissatisfied.

Aunt Xue was also a little embarrassed, and shouted at Xue Pan: "You wicked person, even if you think that Baoyu is your cousin and want to get close to Baoyu, you shouldn't say anything. Hurry up and apologize to your brother Bao. "

Xue Pan is not a person who can judge his face, and he was spoiled by Aunt Xue. Hearing that his mother also asked Baoyu to make an apology, in his opinion, he has been greatly wronged:

"I also have good intentions. Mom, let's see how big brother Bao is, and how weak he is, how he can endure such a long distance. It's better to stay at home. He studied hard, but it's just for the sake of being an official and money. This is not difficult in our family. As long as he stays in Beijing and gets closer to me, I will do it for him."

The more Jia Amnesty couldn't bear it, he stepped forward and kicked Xue Pan: "What are you? .” As he spoke, he tried to get on his feet again.

Mother Jia's face was completely gloomy. She stopped Jia Amnesty and sneered at Aunt Xue, "Speaking of which, my eldest son loves the children of the family the most. Although Baoyu is only a nephew, he It also hurts my heart. You can't agree with what Young Master Ling said. I'm not afraid to annoy my concubine here. They should have less contact in the future."

Mrs. Wang also felt that Xue Pan's speech was inappropriate, but seeing that Jia She had kicked her nephew in front of her, and the old lady was still talking with him, she couldn't help saying: "Even if Pan'er said something wrong , he is a child, and he can always change it. The old lady said this, but how can I behave. "

Jia Mu had already sneered: "I don't know how you behave. It's just that you say that your nephew is a child, but I dare not listen to it. Who knows that a child who is jealous of others will kill him? ! "

Even Baoyu was taken aback by Jiamu's words, the old lady knew exactly why Xue's family came to Beijing, but she never revealed it in daily life.No wonder she was unwilling to let Xue's family live in Rongguo Mansion from the very beginning.

Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue also made Jia Mu's words flushed.Even Xue Pan lost the momentum he had to argue with Jia Amnesty when he was told about it, and stood aside in embarrassment.

Jia's mother said to Li Wan: "I'm tired from Zhu'er's family. You can see Mrs. Xue off for me."

What else can Mrs. Wang do?I had no choice but to stand up too, and wanted to send Aunt Xue out together.Mother Jia wanted not to let her go, but she couldn't go too far, so she had to call Baoyu over: "My dear boy, you have been wronged."

Baoyu acted ignorantly: "I'm not wronged either."

Jia Amnesty still wanted to break up with Baoyu, so Mu Jia stared at her and held back the words abruptly. Seeing that Mrs. Xing was still standing, she said loudly to her, "I don't see the old lady is angry, so hurry up." Invite the girls to come over and chat with the old lady to relieve boredom."

Mrs. Xing made him used to shouting and drinking, so she didn't think it was disobedient, so she went out and ordered a girl to go to the school to invite the Yingchun sisters to come over, and asked the old lady to refill tea quickly before re-entering the house.

Not long after she entered the house, Mrs. Wang had brought Li Wan to report to Mother Jia.What did Mother Jia have to say to her?It's just a light order: "Your nephew is capable. As the old man said, the temple in our house is small, but we can't afford this big Buddha. It's better to have less contact in the future. Besides, Baoyu is always you Your son, even the Elder Master is still angry after hearing that, so you mother don't feel sorry for your son at all?"

He also told Li Wan: "When Zhu'er comes back today, you must learn from him what the Xue family said, so that he will not be coaxed away again." Mrs. Wang's face turned red and white.

After Jiamu finished what she wanted to say, she stopped looking at Mrs. Wang and said that it would be better for her to go back to recuperate.Mrs. Wang went out here in a casual way, and the Yingchun sisters came over there again, and the Rongqing hall was full of singing and swallowing, which made it much more lively.

Seeing that their sisters were with Jia's mother, Jia Amnesty resigned himself.Still not at ease, he had to call Shang Baoyu to go out together, and told him, "Just stay at home these days, and you are not allowed to go out. Others are not allowed to respond to posts. Or wait until the new year, and don't let your second brother Lian take you back to Jinling .”

Looking at the solemn Jia Amnesty in front of him, Baoyu wondered if he had never recognized this person clearly, why did he really act like he cared about the younger generation?

Seeing that he didn't respond, Jia Amnesty pretended that he didn't know what happened today, and said, "Your uncle will never harm you. Now you are still young, and there are some things you don't understand. You will understand in the future. That's it." I will also tell your master not to take you out. That Xue Pan, you are not allowed to talk to him. Bah, what is it. "

Well, the last bah is the unscrupulous Jia Amnesty.Baoyu nodded hurriedly: "Uncle, please tell my father that I did not offend my cousin Xue."

Jia She glanced at Baoyu suspiciously: "Of course it wasn't you who provoked him, it was the man who had a bad intention. Don't worry, your master won't blame you." Then he went back to the house to look at the antiques.

So far, it's as if the Xue family has never been in the mansion, and no one has mentioned it.Baoyu watched in secret for a few days, and found that even the New Year's ceremony or the gift for celebrating the new residence had not been delivered to Xue's house, so he let go of his worries:

In this way, Xue Baochai will no longer be able to see Baoyu from time to time, and there is no reason to mention the golden and jade marriage, and there is one less condition in the opening chapter of the Red Chamber, okay, very good.Baoyu felt satisfied and just read his books and wrote his articles every day.

This day I went to say good night to Mother Jia again, and saw several big boxes lined up in the main room of Rongqing Hall, with the lids opened, not knowing what to do.

Baoyu met Jia Mu and met her sisters again, then smiled and said to Jia Mu: "The old lady is going to open a shop, so I have prepared these good things. I still feel that the Chinese New Year is coming, and I want to reward us in advance. nice one?"

Jia Mu smiled and said: "This is also a shameless person. He sees the world thinking about my idea. I don't know how many things have been moved from me, but I am still not satisfied."

Yingchun laughed when she heard it: "The old lady just said a fair word today. She usually keeps us behind her back, and she doesn't know how many good things she gave to Brother Bao, just pretend that I don't know."

Baoyu pursed her lips, and Jia's mother couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, you will be indispensable. In the future, the old lady will definitely be with you a lot."

After the Spring Festival, I will be 11 years old. People who are more particular should pay attention to their daughters.Hearing Mother Jia teasing herself like this, her face flushed: "What is the old lady talking about. If you have something good, why don't you give it to me now, and let me have a happy new year."

Mother Jia also saw that she was ashamed, so she stopped joking and said, "I can't help but make decisions about these things. This is what your Uncle Lin brought to your sister."

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's just that my father thought that there were many sisters in the mansion, and he didn't go to the south on weekdays, so he sent someone to send it. I had to show everyone something new. It's a good thing. The old lady has never seen it before."

Mother Jia was even happier when she heard what she said was humorous, so she said that someone would help Daiyu distribute things quickly and send some to each room, which was also Lin Ruhai's wish.Baoyu felt that Lin Ruhai who did this was what a normal father should do.

Just imagine, which father would send his daughter to a relative's house for five or six years and still not care about it?No matter how rest assured relatives are, there should be etiquette to walk around.But there is no mention in the original book, either Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng were greedy for the etiquette of the Lin family at that time, or it was taboo for the venerable, so it is not easy to mention it.

Look at Daiyu watching the girls divide things up, her brows are full of brows, she is more cheerful than usual.Baoyu felt that Lin Ruhai would still live for a long time, and it would be better to rely on Daiyu himself.

Baoyu thought about it, took out a talisman from his arms, and walked up to Daiyu: "Sister Lin, this is the peace talisman I asked for from Zhang Shenxian when I went to Qingxu Temple two days ago. I want to give it to Sister Lin's house." The owner of the thing hasn't returned yet, why not take it to Uncle Lin to keep him safe and healthy."

Daiyu took the talisman with both hands, and saluted Baoyu—her family knew her own affairs, what she was like when she first came, and what the talisman that Baoyu gave her was like, she still knew it in her heart.I also know that this Fu Baoyu is not a light gift, so I cherish it and thank you.

Seeing that the two of them got along well, Jia's mother was also satisfied, and said with a smile, "Baoyu has a heart. When this talisman is brought back, your uncle Lin will be happy, and it will be better to mention your article in person."

Baoyu said in her heart, old lady, do you know how much sin I endured to send this talisman?I had to respond with a smile on my face: "It was the old lady's words. I also wanted to get some advice from Uncle Lin, so I went to talk to Zhang Shenxian in person. It was also because of Uncle Lin's fate. Zhang Shenxian This year, the pen has already been closed, and I got impatient, so I re-draw this talisman."

Mother Jia was even more satisfied when she heard this, and personally asked Daiyu to write to Lin Ruhai so that he could wear this talisman from time to time.Daiyu moved Mo Ming even more, and after Jia's mother had finished speaking, she came to salute Baoyu again.

Baoyu only felt that the heat on her chest was stronger than before, as if she couldn't bear it at all, her complexion almost changed, she hurriedly pointed out something, and hurriedly left Rongqing Hall until she returned to her own yard It's better, and since then I don't dare to look at Daiyu's face.
