Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

When Baoyu asked, he said, "Father also knows that Jia Yucun is the husband of his cousin Daiyu, so Lian's second brother met him at his uncle's house when he went to Yangzhou. At first, like his father, he thought that this person was good, and he could be dealt with." After a few days, he felt that he was too tactful. He sent someone to inquire about his details, and found out that he was an official and was dismissed because of corruption."

Jia Zheng frowned when he heard this.He has read corrupt books, and although he is an official, he is inevitably unclean, and he is disgusted when he hears that others are corrupt.Baoyu knew Jia Zheng's temperament well, so what he said was really effective, so he went on to say:

"And I heard that he was able to go to Beijing to take the exam with the support of a squire. Later, after he won the Jinshi, the squire's family fell for some reason. Instead of repaying his kindness, he took a maid from his family as a concubine. He went to work elsewhere, and I heard that he had an affair with that maid before the exam."

Seeing Jia Zheng's expression of hesitation, Baoyu knew that he had already succeeded halfway, and added another fire: "Father, this is what Lian's second brother told me. From this we can see that this person is quite ungrateful. Today You helped him, if we are down in the future, there is no guarantee that he will not step on the ground. In addition, this person is greedy for money, you recommend him to be an official today, if one day he is found out for corruption , won’t it implicate you by then? At least it will tarnish your reputation, at worst it will exhaust you and you will be punished!”

As expected, Jia Zheng believed it, and Nian Xu murmured, "You are right. If it is true, I really need to think about it."

Baoyu knew that he had successfully planted the seeds of doubt in Jia Zheng's heart.When Jia Yucun came, Jia Zheng must have seen more and more that he was a hypocrite, and he would definitely not be given a high-ranking official.That's how people are, some uncertain things can't stand pondering, and the more you ponder, the more you believe it's true.

Knowing that Lin Ruhai recommended him to Jia Zheng, Jia Yucun was very proud, and couldn't wait to set off with Jia Lian Daiyu, so he bought a boat early and went up to the capital.Baoyu came to see him the next day after talking with Jia Zheng.

When Jia Zheng saw Jia Yucun, he kept thinking about what Baoyu said, and he had preconceived ideas. Looking at his words and deeds, he felt like he was acting, and looking at his eyebrows, the more he looked, the more he felt ungrateful.So with a calm face, he dismissed him hastily.But it was not easy to save my brother-in-law's face, so he recruited a seventh-rank small county magistrate to let Jia Yucun do it.

Then Jia Yucun was very happy, but in the end he only got such a small official, and he felt resentful in his heart, and he hated Jia's family from then on.This is something.

Let's say that Baoyu was relieved when he learned about Jia Yucun, so he wrote to Jia Lian.Jia Lian also wrote back, saying that he would go back in a few days, and let Baoyu wait to see his dream lover. Baoyu became more and more anxious, and even had a dream that night.

After waiting for four or five days with great difficulty, I finally got them back.Baoyu was next to Jia Mu, so that he could see Lin Daiyu immediately.In the evening of the same day, everyone was anxiously waiting, and Jia's mother chanted it hundreds of times. Finally, a little girl opened the curtain and smiled and said, "Old lady, Second Master Lian and Miss Lin are here!" Jia's mother got up happily and said, "" Go! Get out! I want to see my granddaughter!"

Holding Baoyu's hand, he went out.Just a few steps away, Jia Lian came in, leading a five-year-old girl with picturesque features, knelt down and said, "My ancestor Wan'an, Lian'er brought back his cousin Daiyu!" Mother Jia hurriedly helped her up. he comes.Daiyu next to her also knelt down and was helped up by Sister Feng.

Mother Jia put her arms around her and cried, "My poor child!" She cried out heartily, and Daiyu also cried.At present, all the people standing underground are hiding their faces.Only Baoyu was stunned when Lin Daiyu came in, and now he was surprised by the crying and came back to his senses.Jia Lian saw it through his fingers, and smiled secretly: "This kid is dumbfounded! Why don't you be tempted? I think your heart is reserved for Sister Lin!"

After crying for a while, they persuaded Daiyu, the mother of Jia, before they stopped crying. Everyone except Baoyu, Jia Lian's sister, was looking at Daiyu.I saw that although she was still young, she behaved and talked well, and there was a natural coquettish attitude in every gesture.She is similar to Jia Min in appearance, she is an out-and-out beauty, but her body is too weak.

Jia's mother loved her so much that she held her in her arms, ignoring Baoyu, and introduced her to the people present one by one: Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, Sister Jialian and Feng, whom she had seen before, and Baoyu.Daiyu's heart skipped a beat when she saw Baoyu, she felt so familiar, but she didn't know what was wrong.Seeing Baoyu again, he smiled at her and said, "Hello, sister. Baoyu is very polite." Feeling that her heart was soaked in hot water, Wei Wei smiled and said, "Hello, cousin."

The two greeted each other like this, which made everyone laugh.Jia Mu laughed and said, "Your cousin is only one year older than you, so you can call him Brother Bao." After sitting for a while, she ordered two old mothers to take Daiyu to see her two uncles.Baoyu got up and smiled and said, "Old ancestor, why don't you let me take my sister. I haven't seen my uncle for a few days. This is a good time to say hello. After we meet, we will come over for dinner."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "It's better like this. You should also get to know your sister well, and the two of you can develop a relationship." Mrs. Xing also got up: "Old lady, I'll take them too, it's cheap too." Jia Mu said : "Alright, you can go now, you don't have to come here."

At that moment, a group of women and maids surrounded the three of them and went to Jia She's main room.Jia Amnesty didn't know what she was up to, she just sent someone to say that her health has not been good for the past few days, and she might be sad when she saw her, and told Daiyu to just stay at home as if she were at home, and not to be restrained.Mrs. Xing sat with her for a while and chatted some gossip. Baoyu then said, "Ma'am, it's getting late. I'll take my sister to my mother's room."

Mrs. Xing knew that Baoyu and the others were going to eat at Jia Mu's place, so she didn't stay long, and ordered the women to send it out.I went to sit with Mrs. Wang again.Mrs. Wang seldom sat down with her son and said a few words, but because of Daiyu's presence, she couldn't be too anxious.Baoyu himself had nothing to say to her, he just listened to Daiyu with a smile on the side, and occasionally said a few words.

After sitting for a while, he said it was time to go to the old lady's room for dinner, and Mrs. Wang also got up and took them to Jia Mu's main room.When I got to the room, I saw that Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun all came.It turned out that Jia's mother said that there were foreigners coming today, so she had people call them here early.The sisters met each other and returned to their seats, and the waiters came up to set up tables, chairs, and set up dishes and chopsticks.At that time, Li Wanwang's wife, Sister Feng, and others were all underground, holding food with chopsticks.

After dinner, Daiyu rinsed her mouth as before, and then served tea again.

After the dinner table was removed, Jia Muyin asked where Daiyu should live.Sanchun has her own place to live, but there is no room left.Baoyu hurriedly said: "Old ancestor, my yard is big and there are many houses. Why don't you let my sister live with me so that I can take care of it."

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "Well, you still have a vacant main room there, right? It's just right for your sister to live in, and the yard is also big. I'm not afraid that it won't be able to be used on weekdays, so it's settled." Because Jiamu saw The little girl Xueyan brought by Daiyu was only ten years old, and Wang Momo was too old, so she wanted to give her a second-class maid beside her. The two maids who are used are five or six little girls who are used to clean up.

Baoyu didn't want to see so many little girls in her room, so she hurriedly said, "Old Ancestor, don't you need it? You know I don't like crowds, especially girls." Mother Jia said, "There is no one around your sister." What can I do with the servant?" Baoyu said, "Did the old ancestor forget? I have a girl named Qingwen! I don't use her very much on weekdays. Why don't I ask her to serve Sister Lin? Other things All my servants will do it! But it’s just an extra person to live in, so there’s no need to bother.”

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Your child is always different from others!" Then she smiled at Daiyu: "You brother, you didn't like so many people to serve you when you were young, and you didn't even like to use it as a maid. It's the servants." Daiyu didn't like the maids in the men's room at first, and she had several aunts who used to be her father's maids, and now seeing Baoyu like this, she felt a little fond of her.

Baoyu laughed and said, "The old ancestor loves me the most! You know that I get annoyed when I see those little girls. One Qingwen is enough, but I can't stand another one!" Mother Jia laughed and said, "It's up to you." ! But you have to take good care of your sister, and don't let your servants bump into her!"

Baoyu laughed and said, "My boys are all obedient. I don't let them enter the yard casually when there's nothing to do! Just wait for my call." Jia Mu laughed for a while.After sitting for a while, Baoyu took Daiyu back. When she left, Sister Feng smiled and said, "Brother Bao, sister Daiyu, remember to sit with me when you are free tomorrow! I haven't seen you for a while!" The two answered with a smile : "Of course, I must go!"

As soon as he entered the yard, Baoyu called Mingyan to hoe medicine, Yinquan to pick clouds and other young servants to meet Daiyu.Seeing so many men at first glance shocked Daiyu!

The author has something to say: Sister Lin has come out, Muzi is still a little tender, and I can't write a particularly amazing appearance, so I can only be so flat, everyone forgive me!It doesn't matter if you spray!Welcome to complain!
