Jin Yuliangyuan of the Red Chamber

It is said that Jia Rui came to look for it several times, but was beaten back by Sister Feng. Today, he suddenly let him in. Jia Rui was overjoyed, and hurried in to greet Ann. Although he couldn't see his face through the screen, it was good to hear the voice. .

I could only hear Sister Feng saying "gentlely" inside: "I was very busy the past few days. I couldn't be free when Master Rui came, so don't take it to heart until today." Does Jia Rui have any resentment?At this time, Sister Feng is willing to let him die! "What did my sister-in-law say! Is it my fault? I still bother you when my sister-in-law is so busy."

Sister Feng smiled: "Don't bother, your brother has been away for so long, and I have no one to talk to!" Jia Rui was so interesting when he heard this, he was so happy that he scratched his heart, "If my sister-in-law is bored, I have nothing to do every day. I can talk to my sister-in-law, but I hope she doesn't think I'm bothering you." Sister Feng said, "I know you are gentle and courteous." She said some gossip and sent him away.Although Jia Rui didn't even see Sister Feng's face, she was happy that such a long time of hard work had finally made progress. When she came out, she just thought about putting in more effort and it would be done!

After that, Jia Rui went here two more times, and Sister Feng let her in, but she always chatted through the screen. Jia Rui gradually became impatient and impatient to waste time like this.

When the day came again, he boldly went around behind the screen and showed his head to see Sister Feng.Sister Feng had been prepared for a long time, and she didn't panic, she just smiled and said, "Why, can't sit still?" Still laughing, her courage grew a bit, and she laughed and said, "What kind of incense does my sister-in-law use? Why is it so fragrant?" As she spoke, she wanted to move forward.

Sister Feng stopped him and smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let me tell you a good way." Then she said this in a low voice, and Jia Rui got it, thinking she had it, and ran home happily to wait for the sun to set. .

It turned out that Sister Feng wanted to play tricks on him, and told him to wait in a warehouse where things were piled up at night. Then she asked people to lock the corner doors on both sides, so no one would notice.Jia Rui thought it was a good plan, and in the middle of the night, he sneaked in quietly, closed the door tightly and waited with breathless breath.

He heard the drum beating on the second watch and the third watch, but no one came. Jia Rui was in a hurry. He went out and saw that the doors on both sides were closed like iron barrels. He didn't dare to say anything, so he had to stay in the room for the night.

It is now June, the weather is hot and there are many mosquitoes.The warehouse was full of things, and there was no place to sit or lie down, so he had to find a corner on the ground to squat all night, and was bitten by mosquitoes all over his face, and the room was stuffy and airless. His clothes were soaked when he came out.After finally staying up until early in the morning, I heard someone come to open the door, so I hurriedly found a free time and went home.

After returning home, he had to lie to Jia Dairu, and it was hot all night, and his body was sore and itchy, which was very uncomfortable.

After this incident, he was peaceful for a few days, but in the end he felt dissatisfied. After a few days, he found him again, complaining about Sister Feng's dishonesty.Seeing that he still did not repent, Sister Feng had to lie to him with words, and asked him to wait in another warehouse, and promised to go there.

Jia Rui just went back and came back at night, thinking that this time he would succeed.But he waited and waited and still didn't come, he was worried: "I won't come again, let me wait another night?" After a while, I saw a dark figure, and he was overjoyed, thinking it was Sister Feng, like a hungry wolf He rushed forward and hugged him.

The man didn't struggle, he just pushed him to the table and chair.Jia Rui overwhelmed him, and looked through the moonlight, there was Sister Feng, clearly Ah Shui's paralyzed face!He backed away in shock, pointed at him and said, "Why, why is it you?"

Ah Shui sneered and said: "My master knew that you were up to no good, and you didn't know how to restrain yourself after giving you opportunities over and over again, and now you still do such things, the second mistress has already sued the old lady, the old lady was very angry, sent me Come get you, hurry up!" Jia Rui was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he repeatedly begged for mercy.

Ah Shui said: "It's not difficult for me to help you, just bring 100 taels of silver, even a cent less!" How could Jia Rui have so much silver?He begged for mercy again, but Ah Shui just ignored him.But I had no choice but to find a pen and ink to sign and draw.Ah Shui asked him to go out and squat at the base of the wall to wait for the news, and then he went back with a lantern to report.

Jia Rui squatted, his clothes were soaked, and he kept wiping away his sweat.As soon as the upper window was opened, a large bucket of ice water was poured down, and there were fist-sized ice cubes in it, which made his head hurt from hitting him.He couldn't help but let out an "ah" and hurriedly covered his mouth again.His head hurt, he was sweating, but he was stimulated by the ice water, he sneezed and shivered uncontrollably.When he was suffering, Ah Shui came to tell him to go quickly, and hurried home.

In Jia Lian's yard, Sister Feng Ping'er couldn't help laughing: "The beast has finally tasted the pain! Let's see if he dares to be evil!" Ping'er said bitterly.Sister Feng laughed and said, "Teach him a lesson this time. If he comes again, I won't be polite!"

Jia Rui didn't say that Jia Dairu found out when he went back, so he beat him hard and punished him to study under the sun for three days.From then on, he realized that Sister Feng was playing tricks on him.After that, Ah Shui came to ask for the bill from time to time, and he had something in his heart, and he was ruined by the bucket of ice water.

This is something to say later, Sister Feng is very at ease since Jia Rui didn't come.Twenty days later, Jia Lian wrote to say that they had arrived in Yangzhou.

It turned out that Baoyu and the others had been on the boat for more than a month. After boarding the boat from Dezhou, they arrived in Huaiyin. Jia Lian said that there was a lot of delay on the road, and it took a long time to take the boat, so he suggested that everyone go by horse and car.Baoyu and Daiyu were also tired of taking the boat, so they readily agreed.In this way, it will be much faster, and Huaiyin is not far from Yangzhou, but it will arrive in six or seven days.

After more than two months and so many years, Daiyu finally set foot on the land of Yangzhou again.

In Yangzhou, behind the hall of the chief envoy of Nanzhili, there were two people sitting opposite each other.

"Master Zhang, I really came to ask you for help when I was desperate. In the past two months, I really..."

A man in green shirt showed pain on his face, frowned and sighed.The other one is already old, with many beards growing on his chin, and many white beards are mixed in.

He twisted his beard and sighed: "Oh, Master Lin, I also understand very well. After all, there are too many people in this world who watch people order dishes. But I don't think you need to worry too much. Although the Holy Majesty is angry, it is just You have been fined for one year's salary, and you have never been demoted, so maybe you will be fine in a short time."

"I thought so too, but the more I thought about it later..." The other person panicked, "The tax deficit is not a small amount! I really can't afford it by myself, so I came to my lord and asked him for advice. Let's see how to raise this year's tax, or else my black hat will really be lost!" After finishing speaking, he cupped his hands repeatedly.

Zhang Yuming pondered for a while and said: "Master Lin, we have been officials in Yangzhou for several years. Now that you have my place, how can the old man just stand by and watch? Well, you go back today and let the old man think of a way. After a few days How about we discuss it later?"

"Then, I will take my leave first. This matter is all up to you!"

Coming out of the chief envoy, Lin Ruhai exhaled and got into the carriage: "Go home!" Come back a few more times, this old guy is very shrewd!

After returning home, just after changing clothes and wiping his face, Uncle Lin came back to him with a happy face: "Master, Miss is back!" Lin Ruhai also beamed with joy when he heard it: "Really? Where is it? Take me there!" Then he went out.Uncle Lin followed with a smile and said: "Just arrived at the door! Accompanied by the last master Lian and another young master."

"That's my second brother's second son, Jia Baoyu, don't make a mistake for a while!" Lin Ruhai's feet were like the wind, and he arrived at the gate in a short time. As expected, Daiyu, Baoyu and Jialian were all standing at the gate.

He stepped forward and said with a smile, "You're back? Why don't you go inside? This is not an outsider's house." Jia Lian laughed and said, "We just got out of the car too, so I'm so annoyed that my aunt came out by himself." Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "" It's okay, I just came back from outside too, I haven't sat down yet, just right." He led the way and led them in.

Jia Lian Baoyu had already met Mingyan and the others in the city, and they came together, so he ordered them to unload their things, and Lin Ruhai also sent his family's servants to pack up the young lady's things, and put them in the room for daily use. So I let Qingwen arrange it, "This is what my sister used to when she was there, and I asked her to follow along, so as to save the trouble of changing people." Lin Ruhai nodded: "This is better."

The four of them went all the way to the study, Lin Ruhai asked Uncle Lin to pour tea, and then asked Daiyu to go to the inner room to wash and change clothes first.Here he chats with Baoyu Jialian.

Jia Lian first talked about the journey, saying that everything was safe, and then expressed the reluctance of everyone in the Jia family to Daiyu.After Lin Ruhai listened with a smile, he said that he thanked them for taking care of Daiyu for so many years, and that you have worked hard along the way.

After finishing the polite words, Lin Ruhai said, "I know you two are coming too, and I've had someone clean up the house. Since you're here, you can stay for a few more days and don't go back in a hurry. You must be tired from the journey, go back and rest quickly , the servants are packing up the things. Let's have dinner together in the evening." Daiyu also came out, and the three of them retreated to their respective rooms first.

Here, Lin Ruhai instructed Uncle Lin to go to the storeroom to select a few valuable and rare items and make a gift list for him to see, and planned to send them to the governor's residence in a few days.

A young man led Jia Lian to his room, pointed to the two main rooms on the opposite side and said to Baoyu and Daiyu, "That room is the old lady's room, and next to it is what the master prepared for the second master Bao. There are a lot of things in it. It's all complete." Baoyu smiled and said, "Thank you uncle for your kindness."

Jia Lian also laughed, Daiyu's face turned red, and she left them and went in by herself.

The boy said again: "The little one will not disturb your rest. Someone will come to invite you when it's time for dinner." After Jia Lian nodded, he left. "Hurry up! Uncle is quite understanding." Jia Lian smiled at Baoyu.Baoyu patted him: "Don't talk nonsense!" He laughed too, "Then I'll go, you have a good rest." After speaking, he hurriedly walked to the opposite side along the Chaoshou corridor.

Jia Lian just laughed, and began to write letters to his family after returning to his room.

In Zhang's mansion, Zhang Yuming looked at the gift list brought by Lin Ruhai and sighed: "It really is a fat job, so many good things." The master next to him wondered: "Is the master really going to help him?" Zhang Yuming said: " I agreed so easily, let him look down on me, let's see again. I don't believe he can still sit still."

The next day, another edict came down, ordering Zhang Yuming, the chief envoy of Nanzhili, to investigate the Yangzhou salt tax case, and ordered to find out the results within one year, otherwise he and Lin Ruhai would be punished by ransacking their homes together.

The author has something to say: This section of Jia Rui has been changed a bit, but the general routine is still the same. The main reason is that Mr. Cao wrote so well that he couldn't think of any other better way to punish him.
