Chapter 305
[Correction of typos in fifteen minutes]
In the original world line, after Jia Baoyu listened to the song and realized the Zen secret, he was enlightened by Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai within two days.
But now he has suffered more 'love' than any other, and his situation is naturally much more serious than in the original work.
However, Lin Daiyu had almost severed all ties with him and would definitely not take the initiative to come to his house to resolve any doubts. Xue Baochai also deliberately avoided suspicion and stopped looking for him because of their good relationship. As for Shi Xiangyun, not to mention, what Mrs. Wang had said before
So she understands that it is natural for her not to have close contact with Brother Bao anymore.
Among the remaining three springs, Yingchun was dull and taciturn, and Xichun worshiped Buddhism and Taoism. Only Jia Tanchun had the ability to persuade Baoyu. However, in the past few days, she felt humiliated and did not want to see anyone because of Aunt Zhao's bad start.
As for the maids around Baoyu, although there are a few who are literate, it is really difficult for them to distinguish the difference between the poems Baoyu usually writes in a daze and the poems he writes during this Zen meditation.
So Jia Baoyu meditated on the Zen teachings for seven or eight days at home, but the outside world did not notice anything.
Until the emperor summoned him two days ago, he still looked confused and even muttered something like "I am not a secular person, so why should I follow secular etiquette", which seemed to mean that he wanted to resist and disobey the order.
Only then did the attackers panic and hurriedly reported his strange behavior to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang persuaded him to go to the palace to accompany the king.
Uneasy, I came back and questioned him carefully. I was so frightened by my son's impoliteness that I broke out in a cold sweat. I subconsciously wanted to recite the Buddha's name twice to thank the Buddha for his blessing.
But thinking that this incident was caused by Zen meditation, I quickly swallowed the Buddha's name again, and asked my son to explain it earnestly.
After two or three consecutive days with no results, she went to Aunt Xue specifically in the evening and told her sister exactly what had happened.
Only then did Aunt Xue realize that the performance of "Drunk on the Mountain Gate" had caused such a commotion. She immediately blamed herself on Baochai's behalf: "It's Baochai's fault too. I just ordered "Drunk on the Mountain Gate" and it was fine.
Talking about some parasitic grass, it attracted Baoyu..."
Mrs. Wang came to Aunt Xue, not because she wanted to accuse her. After hearing this, she shook her head and said: "This has nothing to do with Baochai. It's Baoyu who made the mistake himself - well, this is not the first time something like this has happened."
Aunt Xue felt more relieved and said: "It's not Baoyu's fault. When our master was still alive, he often said that these Taoist scriptures and Zen techniques are the most able to change one's nature. Children's minds are inherently undecided. How can they control them once they fall into it?
live?"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately grabbed Aunt Xue's plump and white wrist and said seriously: "That's why someone needs to guide her! Now that Lin Yatou is separated from her, Yun Yatou has to avoid suspicion again. If Baochai keeps hiding,
He, he is alone, isn't it easy for him to think about things?"
Only then did Aunt Xue know why her sister came to find her.
Naturally, she had no objection to letting her daughter get close to Baoyu, so she hurriedly said: "Her girl is inevitably thin-skinned. It would be better to wait a little longer."
Then he couldn't help but be curious: "It's just that Miss Lin fell down. Why does this girl Yun want to avoid suspicion?"
Mrs. Wang briefly told the incident about Jin Qilin and the historian's subsequent reaction, and finally said: "No, the historian just sent the accurate message today, asking our master to clarify the words so that the Jiao family can
I’ve chosen a day to come to propose marriage.”
Aunt Xue heard that because of a misunderstanding, Jiao Shun actually won the favor of the historian again, and she couldn't help but marveled: "This is really a coincidence. I have also seen the golden unicorn that Yun Yatou has brought with her since she was a child. Who would have thought
They just became a couple with Brother Shun!"
"I heard it was given to him by Jiao Da, saying it was some kind of token passed down from his ancestors."
While the two sisters were talking, someone reported outside that Uncle Jiao had arrived and that Mr. Pian was on his way to pay his respects. Therefore, I would like to ask my wife to tell me whether I should let Mr. Jiao wait in the side hall first, or please come in and see me.
When Mrs. Wang heard that Jia Zheng was going to the toilet, her face showed a look of surprise at first, but she said: "Chang Qing is not an outsider either. Let's bring him in to talk while I'm getting ready here."
As she spoke, she straightened her figure first, and then urged Aunt Xue to tidy up her appearance.
Aunt Xue covered her arms and said curiously: "Brother-in-law is inconvenienced for a while, so he just asked Brother Shun to wait in the side hall. Why do you need to ask sister?"
"this……"
Mrs. Wang looked hesitant, but she thought that her sister was not an outsider after all, and she had long wanted to pour out the bitter water, so she sighed: "You don't know something. I didn't know where I got some tiger and wolf medicine from before.
I didn't notice anything at first, but recently I have hurt my stomach and intestines. Every time I go to the toilet, it takes about half an hour. Most of the people below are afraid of neglecting Chang Qing, so they came to me."
Aunt Xue didn't expect that she would accidentally find out about such a big melon.
At that moment, she covered her lips, her beautiful eyes were smiling like a crescent moon, and she said narrowly: "You are getting older anyway. My sister should always be considerate of her brother-in-law, and don't let him 'work' too much."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Mrs. Wang patted the table lightly and said angrily: "He clearly became ill from working hard in Aunt Zhao's room, but now he wants me to deal with the aftermath!"
Only then did Aunt Xue realize that she had misunderstood. She smiled and said: "It's medicine that's three parts poison. It's only right that things like this should be done out of emotion. It's just right for my sister to use this to control her, so as not to damage her brother-in-law's body with her little hoof."
As he said that, he pretended to be mysterious and said: "I have some newly made obscene clothes over there. They are all styles that are rare outside. I will give them to my sister to try on tomorrow."
In fact, Mrs. Wang had been thinking about her things for a long time, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. Now Aunt Xue took the initiative to offer them, which was in line with Mrs. Wang's wishes.
However, she still had a look of disgust on her face, and said righteously: "I know you have loved these fancy clothes since you were a child, but now that your status is different after all, you should be more restrained, otherwise if the outside world finds out,
, those corrupt and heartless little people don’t know how to arrange you!”
Aunt Xue certainly agreed, but whether she would change it or not was another matter.
But they said that while the sisters were finishing their makeup and talking privately, Jiao Shun was chatting with a little maid in the corridor.
This little maid is about fourteen or fifteen years old. She has red lips, white teeth, and a pretty face. She also has a special bright and refreshing feeling, which makes people feel that she is elegant and generous.
Since there was no call to "come in" inside, Jiao casually asked, "What's your name? You look familiar to me, but I don't think I've seen you in this courtyard before."
"My uncle has such a good memory!"
The little maid smiled and said, "My name is Xiao Hong. I was originally the rough maid in Master Bao's house. I was temporarily transferred here because there was a shortage of people here."
"I see."
Jiao Shun suddenly nodded, and then inquired: "The person who just sent the message said that there was some big happy event. Do you know what the happy event is?"
"How do I know this?"
But I heard Xiao Hong say crisply: "But since it is a huge happy event, there is no reason to hide it. You will naturally know it when you meet the master and his wife."
Jiao Shun then chatted with her for a few more words. It was difficult for a young girl like her to answer questions fluently, and her words were full of flattering meaning, but it did not make people think that she was following someone's influence.
I have to say that this Jia Baoyu courtyard is really rich in human essence.
"Uncle Jiao, please come in."
At this time, someone inside shouted a summons, and then the door curtains were raised high on the left and right, and Jiao Shun hurriedly cheered up and entered the main room.
Just when he was in the door and kicked out, he suddenly remembered that this Xiao Hong was probably the one in the original work who took the initiative to throw down the handkerchief or sachet or something and took the opportunity to seduce Jia Yun.
Now that she has arrived at Mrs. Wang's courtyard inexplicably, I don't know if this thing will happen again.
While thinking about some things, Jiao Shun went up to meet Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and sisters, then lowered his hands and looked at his nose and heart, showing respect and not squinting.
Mrs. Wang just paid it back, her clothes were loose and her sleeves were too big to show anything. Even though Aunt Xue had tidied up her appearance, she was sitting cross-legged on the bed, leaning on the kang table with one hand and leaning forward slightly, still highlighting the spectacular scenery.
Xianjiao Shunsheng is tall and tall - he has grown more than two inches in the past two years, and is nearly 1.85 meters tall - it is difficult not to be rude to raise his eyes like this condescendingly.
Mrs. Wang was vaguely aware of this and couldn't help but turn her head and glare at her sister.
However, Aunt Xue has been with the Xu family since she was a child, and has always regarded Jiao Shun as a younger generation, and does not think there is anything to be taboo about.
Seeing that her sister didn't speak, she smiled and asked: "How is your mother doing lately? Why don't you see her coming to my place? Could it be that... she is about to break up with me?"
The hidden part in the middle is naturally worried that the Xu family is angry with the Xue family because the marriage between the two families failed.
In fact, it was a bit inappropriate to say this in front of Mrs. Wang, but Aunt Xue had never been so thoughtful and said whatever came to her mind.
"My aunt misunderstood."
Jiao Shun subconsciously raised his eyes, then lowered them again, and said with a smile: "My mother went to Zijin Street to supervise the work again. She has been looking forward to her own house for half her life, and now she thinks about it.
Even the master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry had a headache after hearing this, and my father really couldn't persuade her, so he had to let her go."
Hearing what he said was interesting, both Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue laughed, especially Aunt Xue's laughter, which made the flower branches tremble and rise and fall, which made Jiao Shun almost couldn't help but raise his eyes to peek.
While he was being respectful, he was secretly thinking that he needed to wear the jade bracelet with some of Mrs. Wang's old belongings from the Xue family at night, so as to get rid of the evil fire in his heart.
At this time, I suddenly heard Mrs. Wang say: "Actually, it is a great joy to come to you this time."
Those words again.
Jiao Shun had already made plans in his mind, and when Mrs. Wang mentioned the matter of exploring spring, he politely declined.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang said: "It can be regarded as a mistake. The incident about the pair of golden unicorns caused a lot of discussion outside. The master and I originally wanted to go to the Baolinghou Mansion to explain, but we didn't expect the ancestors of the Shi family to actually
I once used this golden unicorn to seal a marriage, but later due to the war, we were separated from each other. I don’t want to be married to you and Yun Yatou again after several lives!"
"This is a match made in heaven. In addition, the historian also wanted to fulfill the last wish of our ancestors, so he specially found your birth date and asked an expert to comment on it. Unexpectedly, it is a perfect match!"
"Now the Baolinghou Mansion is interested in getting married, and they are just waiting for someone from your family to come and act as a matchmaker. Isn't this a huge happy event?"
After saying these words, Jiao Shun was stunned at first.
Then I felt extremely familiar, and then I thought about it carefully, wasn't this what I made up casually to deceive Shi Xiangyun back in the other courtyard?
Was it a coincidence that made his prophecy come true, or did Shi Jia intend to get married and deliberately used his lies as a pretext?
But it doesn't matter. Being able to marry Shi Xiangyun, the daughter of the Hou family, is undoubtedly a very calculated thing for him - although he feels a little sorry for Sister Lin who is currently recruiting - but Shi Xiangyun, who is lively and healthy, is obviously more suitable in terms of birth and appearance.
Jiao Shun's appetite.
At that moment, he pretended to be ecstatic and said: "This, this, my... little nephew is at the mercy of my uncle and aunt!"
Seeing that he was a little incoherent for a moment, Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction, feeling that her previous debt to Jiao Shun had finally been made up for.
Then he said: "If we can help, the master and I will naturally help you, but it is not convenient for us to come forward to propose marriage - it is best to find a middleman who is familiar with the historian and has sufficient status."
To put it bluntly, Rong Guofu is still afraid of taking on the title of 'domestic slave and master'.
Jiao Shun pondered for a while and immediately found a candidate, so he asked for instructions: "I wonder if it would be appropriate to ask Lord Shenwu Feng Tang and Feng to come forward?"
This Feng Tang was Feng Ziying's father. In order to deal with the Ordnance Department, Jiao Shun specially presented Feng Tang with the "military representative" trick, which made Feng Tang gain the favor of the officers and soldiers of Yunnan and Guizhou.
Nowadays, those arrogant and powerful generals have moved to the capital camp. They are not convinced or angry with others, but only Feng Tang can control them.
Because of this fate, Feng Tang always looked at Jiao Shun with special regard, and also told Feng Ziying to take the initiative to make good friends with Jiao Shun.
Now that Feng Tang comes forward to act as a matchmaker, he will definitely accept it happily.
"General Feng."
Mrs. Wang thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said: "His family and the Shi family are also family friends. Although not as close as ours, he is still a very suitable candidate."
"Then I will go to General Feng's mansion tomorrow to ask for help!"
Jiao Shun couldn't wait to finalize the matter, and was about to thank Mrs. Wang again for the message, when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting in panic: "It's not good, the master has blood in his stool!"
Jiao Shun: "..."
What's the fuss about?
[I have a cold, dizziness and can’t write well. I’m short of 100 characters but less than 4,000. Rong Lao Ao made a few nonsense sentences: At this point, I’m basically sure that Shi Xiangyun is the original wife. However, in Lao Ao’s usual style, I definitely deserve to be accepted.
They all have to be collected, but they don’t have to be placed at home. Jia Lian can still have an outer room. Is Uncle Jiao still inferior to Jia Lian?
