Chapter 53 The Red Chamber (53)
Red Building 53
When Jia Mu met the four girls Xue Baoqin, Coco Lee, Li Qi and Xing Fengyan, she was extremely happy.
Seeing Xue Baoqin walking down from the painting, she couldn't help but look at Wang, then turned her head and asked Aunt Xue, "Girl Qin, I said that there is no one."
Wang's hand holding the Buddhist beads suddenly stopped. Aunt Xue only felt that her smile could not be maintained. What does the old lady mean? Do you look down on Baochai? But she doesn't like Baochai, and she doesn't care about Baoqin. They are all girls from the Xue family, and Baoqin's background is not as good as Baochai. But the old lady asked Baoqin alone what she was doing. Do you want to say that the Jia family doesn't care about their identity and origin, but they don't agree with the marriage between her daughter and Baoyu. Isn't it that they don't like Baochai? The more Aunt Xue thinks, the darkness in front of her eyes, but she still holds up and says, "I'm determined, the young master of the Mei Hanlin family."
Hanlin is the most noble official position. With Jia Zheng’s current position, no one dares to say that Jia Baoyu is better than the son of the Mei Hanlin family.
Jia Mu nodded, smiled, and stopped talking.
Jia Baoyu was standing outside the door at this moment, wanting to enter but not daring to enter. At this moment, he thought of Shi Xiangyun. No matter how he escaped in his heart, he knew that he might have harmed Xiangyun. He felt that people in the world were really hated. However, his innocent daughter's family ended up like this because of a little rumors. Who should blame?
Listening to the soft voices in the room, Jia Baoyu turned around and returned to his yard. After all, the only one who should be blamed for the most is himself.
When Xiren saw him coming back, he said, "Why don't you talk and laugh with your sisters, you're back."
"Okay, what are you going to harm others?" Baoyu entered the house.
Xiren didn't know how to persuade her, so she heard Qingwen run in excitedly and said, "Everyone says that our girls are doing their best. I don't want the four girls to come. That's really amazing. The girls of Bao are not as good as those of Miss Bao."
Musk Yue said, "We have also met good girls. I won't talk about our girls. Only the girls from the Lin family and the Shi family are not beautiful. This one is better."
"You just go and see it yourself, and you're convinced." Qingwen curled her lips and glanced at Baoyu, and said, "Second Master, don't go and see it."
"No." Jia Baoyu said, then stood up and said, "I'll go out for a walk. When the old lady asked, she said I'd like to have a friend when I went out and would come back in the next half a day."
Looking at Jia Baoyu's hurried back, Xiren's worries became deeper. Baoyu was like this, making people wonder what he was thinking.
Mingyan was carefully serving Jia Baoyu and asked, "Second Master, where are we going?"
Jia Baoyu whispered: "Go and ask where the Shi Family's ancestral temple is."
Mingyan was frightened, shook her head repeatedly, and said, "It's not that little one is unwilling to go. It's really not something that ordinary people can go to. It's a place where women's family practice in their youth. It's a place where people can catch it, but it's amazing."
"What are you calling?" Jia Baoyu thought of the noise at home, and thought of Shi Xiangyun who loved the excitement. Thinking that she was alone in the ancestral temple, she couldn't feel at ease. He sighed, "I just watched from afar and accompanied her. It was also a good match for us brother and sister."
Mingyan swallowed and finally nodded. After a while, he went around the city and said he couldn't find him, so he said he would say it today. He didn't dare to take the blame for the world.
But when Mu Jia saw a good girl, she naturally wanted to stay by her side, so she said, "Call Chin Girl to live with me."
Xue Ke hurriedly answered, "I won't disturb the old lady. We are here today to invite an old lady to take care of her. Because the Mei family knew that we were in Beijing, they had already asked someone to clean up the other yard. If we don't go, it would be bad. Please forgive me."
Aunt Xue's expression changed and she said, "If you go to Beijing, don't live with your brother and me, what do you think you will live outside?"
"Look at what you said, you and your brothers and sisters are still bothering others, so why can we cause trouble? There are also our shops in the capital, and it is not difficult to arrange a house and a place to live. Just as the Mei family took the initiative to arrange a arrangement, it would be unreasonable if we didn't go." Xue Ke smiled. He originally planned to live in the Jia family. Who would have thought of receiving news from the shopkeeper of the Beijing shop on the way. First, the Jia family is far from the same as before, and second, the matter of the Shi family girl should be learned from. The Mei family's marriage cannot be lost.
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "No one can live in the man's house before he passed the door. This is not in line with the rules."
Xue Baoqin looked at Xue Baochai with a strange look, smiled, and stopped talking. But the meaning was very obvious. Xue Baochai suddenly became embarrassed, lowered her head and stopped talking.
Jia Mu couldn't help but think of Xiangyun's thing, and naturally knew what the person was avoiding her was for. The smile on her face faded and she said, "Then I won't keep it."
Xue Ke and Xue Baoqin said goodbye, but Yuanyang beat people and sent them out. Seeing that something was wrong, Li Wan took her sister-in-law and Li Coco and Li Qi back to her yard. Anyway, her priest and niece who was keeping her priest lived with her is not a big deal.
The eldest wife asked Xing Fuyan to go with Yingchun, which was considered decent. No matter how stupid Xing Fuyan was, she could still see the eyes. She didn't know that there were only a great story here. She could only follow Yingchun and dare not speak casually.
The old lady was in a bright sun, but because of the ignorance of the two brothers and sisters of the Xue family, there was nothing left to mix up. The happy scene ended in a short while.
Lin Yuyang Feng came back from outside in a hurry and said to Lin Yutong: "Sister, I want to ask you for help."
"What a busy thing? You have to be kind enough to tell me." Lin Yutong handed over the stewed mutton soup, "Drink it first."
"That's right, I have a classmate, and his uncle came to the capital with the girl he got engaged to. Because he had some connection with the Jia family, he didn't dare to ask anyone to live in the Jia family. But this person came to the capital and couldn't have sex. So, I begged me to tell my sister if I could give that girl a post next time..." Lin Yuyang drank the soup and slowly told the reason.
"What's your classmate's surname?" Lin Yutong asked.
"The surname is Mei, and his father is from Hanlin Academy." Lin Yuyang said.
Mei Hanlin, the family who got engaged was still in contact with the Jia family. Lin Yutong immediately knew who was talking about this. It turned out to be Xue Baoqin. In the original work, Xue Baoqin was a rare girl with good results. The picture of red plums in the snow. After the white earth was really clean, the red plums in the snow became more and more beautiful. This is not a good sign.
When Jia Shi, Wang and Xue Du were defeated, the Mei family still fulfilled the engagement. Obviously, the family has a good character. My younger brother's friend actually has a son from the Mei Hanlin family, and I have to sigh that the world is so small. Besides, Xue Baoqin is not an annoying girl, and this is a matter of slight effort. So I think this young master from the Mei family is extremely satisfied with Xue Baoqin. Otherwise, he would not have made such a hard time making arrangements. Friendship with the Lin family and with him is a confidence for Xue Baoqin.
Lin Yutong beat her younger brother and went back to her room. In the past two days, she was a little anxious because the prescriptions she transferred back had no results now. Is it a malfunction or something else? How could she not worry about it?
After finally enduring the night, Lin Yutong couldn't stand this waiting mood, so she asked the information again. This time the message was replying very quickly.
Because they are all drug formulas, we have to go through many experiments, including trials, to know whether we can use it with confidence and what is the value. As for when there will be news, the company doesn’t know. Just let yourself wait with peace of mind.
Lin Yutong almost cried. She spent her whole life in the Red Mansion, and only a week outside. In other words, after living her whole life, she might not have any results outside.
This kind of efficiency is really intoxicating.
Lin Yutong was a little discouraged. Now, I can only collect it first. As for whether it can be used, I can only talk about it. It turns out that it is not an easy thing to want to add a few more zeros in my account.
If you only keep in mind the matters over there, you will never think of doing anything else in your life.
She comforted herself: Anyway, she has made a fortune in her life.
Life is leisurely and leisurely, soothing the anxiety of the forest and rain tung bit by bit. After a few heavy snowfalls, the twelfth lunar month is approaching. The New Year is approaching.
During this period, a major event occurred in the capital. The prince of Nan'an was demoted to a commoner and his family went to Liaodong. In this cold winter, he was granted such a favor. On the day he left the capital, no one of the so-called old friends of the four monarchs and eighth dukes had seen each other. However, a few servants who had received favors took cotton coats, quilts, gave them money, took some servants, and sent their old master out of the capital.
After Jia Zheng learned about the result of the Prince of Nan'an, he did not dare to delay for a day and hurriedly set off. Now he really has no qualifications to be willful. Jia Mu said nothing, asked Yuanyang to pawn a few good items, brought a lot of money to Jia Zheng, and gave two young and beautiful girls to serve him. Only then did the right person send him to the office. He was a little sad and could not even live at home for a year.
As for Jia Yucun, because he also participated in the purchase of military rations by the Prince of Nan'an, Lin Ruhai did not even have much effort to defeat him. In this case, even the Prince of Nan'an was granted titles, let alone him, a person without a foundation. After being sentenced to behead the marquis of the prison, he would not have much life to live.
Because Jia Yucun had some connection with the Jia family, everyone in the Jia family was so scared that they were silent. Jia Mu was even more ill. She was not really confused. The affairs of the Prince of Nan'an vaguely revealed the emperor's thoughts about these old ministers. If you can treat the Prince of Nan'an like this today, you will treat the Jia family like this tomorrow. This uneasiness will make her feel restless. In a few days, she became a little sick and drowsy.
Jia Lian was alone in Ping'er's house, drinking wine in joy.
That night, Wang Xifeng moved. Xiaohong was not alarmed, and quietly took in the baby girl whom Jia Yun had asked him to find in advance, and then beat someone to hire a doctor.
Jia Lian drank a few glasses of wine, then pressed Ping'er and asked her to drink a few glasses with her, and she slept very heavily. Wang Xifeng was afraid that someone would make a fool, so she kept silent and asked Xiaohong to guard the yard.
When it was almost dawn, a loud cry of a baby woke up Jia Lian.
"What sound?" Jia Lian sat up suddenly, and when the baby's cry came from his ear, his expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "My ancestor was born."
Regardless of the people around, he grabbed the cloak and went out. The child's cry became clearer and louder. His heart suddenly became warmer, and the cold wind blew on his face.
"Birth!" Jia Lian looked at the people entering and leaving the main room, and was not at all panicked. He felt a little guilty. Then he heard the congratulations coming from the main room.
"Congratulations to Grandma Xi, congratulations to Grandma. Peacefully give birth to brother."
"It's a brother. Grandma will be worthy in the future."
Jia Lian's mind was full of 'brother' and he laughed happily, "Thank you for your hard work in my mother's life, I've bowed to my mother outside. My mother is a hero."
Wang Xifeng was in pain all over, but she was still in good spirits. She winked and told Xiaohong to answer, but she held the child and looked at him.
Ping'er heard the movement as early as Jia Lian's feet. She couldn't run out like Jia Lian. After washing and going out, she heard Xiaohong reply to Jia Lian, "...Mother and son are both peaceful. Brother is 600% pounds and 80% pounds, a strong brother... We moved in the middle of the night. We called Erma outside the door a few times, and no one answered inside. Grandma said there was no need to be alarmed... As soon as the sky turned white, grandma gave birth. It was very smooth. Second master should also be prepared to report good news to Aunt Ping. Grandma said that she was in a short state and didn't care about these things. Let Erma watch the arrangements."
"Don't worry if you call grandma, I'm there." Ping'er answered, "It's also my damn, I'm sleeping heavily."
Xiaohong smiled and said, "My grandma said yesterday that no one can help her with the child. It's useless to keep her. This is not to be alarming."
The Jia family received good news early in the morning. Lian**’s mother gave birth to a brother and had a grandson in the big room. Jia She was even more happy and asked someone to carry a box of antiques to collect, and only someone gave them to Wang Xifeng to collect, which was regarded as a gift for the children.
Jia Mu recited the Buddha and said, "Phoenix Girl is now perfect. It is a blessing to have both children."
Yuanyang smiled and said, "My mother is so easy now, and no one has ever been alarmed. Hearing the good news that she was born, he even scared me."
Jia Mu smiled but didn't say anything. She didn't understand anything. Feng Meitou was afraid that someone would have evil intentions. Thinking of Mrs. Wang and Baoyu being caught in the nightmare, she really didn't dare to say that there were no people in this family with ulterior motives.
Lin Yutong received a letter from Xiaohong and beat someone to send a real gift. She also told Lin Daiyu that Lin Daiyu wrote several prescriptions for prenatal maintenance and asked to take them together.
As the twelfth lunar month entered, it was the time to be busy with the New Year. Jia Lian, the son of Jia Gui, was not very lively. Wang Xifeng didn't care. The matter of the Prince's Mansion in Nan'an made her see the Jia family's tomorrow. How to protect the child and let the child live a safe life is what she has to worry about.
But this year's New Year is the second reunion year for the Lin family. In the first year, the people in the family were still unfamiliar with each other. Now they are familiar with each other and get along very well, but Lin Ruhai still couldn't help but feel sad. "This year, you three are with your father. Next year, Tong'er will probably have to celebrate the New Year at someone else's house. This is called being a father, and it's not easy to live up to your heart."
Lin Yutong poured a glass of wine and handed it over, and said, "When Brother Yang marrys a wife and gives birth to you grandchildren, I'm afraid you won't like me and come back."
Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "This is very true."
