After all, in the Jia family, only Baoyu was born most like Jia Daishan. In addition to the deep love between Jia Mu and Jia Daishan, Baoyu was smart, beautiful and good-tempered, and he was the only living legitimate son of Jia Zheng, the second son Jia Mu preferred.
, the old lady is subjectively tilted, which is really normal.
But Baoyu's understanding was so poor that not only was the warning from the Jinghuan Fairy in vain, he didn't learn anything else. He only remembered "that thing" and came back to "understand life" with Xiren every day.
If the Jia family is handed over to Baoyu, it might as well be handed over to Jia She.
.
Jia Lian didn't want to say anything wrong with Baoyu, so he simply shook his head and said:
"I don't know about that.
I only heard from two ancestors that they asked the Jinghuan Fairy to follow the old lady in Baoyu. The ladies went to the East Mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms, and while he was taking a nap, he took his soul into the illusion of Taixu and practiced "
Listen to Twelve Immortal Songs from "Dream of Red Mansions" with him.
However, Baoyu never became enlightened, which made the two ancestors very sorry."
"Then...how did you become enlightened?"
Jia's mother is not easy to fool, the old lady immediately goes straight to the essence of the problem.
Jia Lian suddenly looked ashamed:
"To be fair to the old lady, I have seen my grandson being sent to and fro outside, and I have seen all kinds of animals, wine, tea, and beauties singing and dancing in the illusory world, but they are nothing more than mediocrity.
The grandson asked the police fantasy, so the two ancestors appeared. The scene of "the humble room was empty, but the bed was full of wats" frightened the grandson to the point of sweating like rain, and asked the ancestors how to avoid the disaster.
However, the two ancestors always talked like they were playing riddles. The grandson was stupid and couldn't guess. He was even more afraid of getting into trouble if he guessed wrong, so he begged the two ancestors for clear explanations.
Later, it was only after receiving instructions from the two ancestors that my grandson dared to go to the ancestral hall, get the Zhongyong Sword, and split the coffin in the street that had brought disaster.
My grandson was completely unsure at that time. The cold sweat on his back was not broken from the beginning to the end, and he did not dare to talk to anyone, so he had to hold on by himself.
Fortunately, it turned out to be true as the two ancestors said in their dreams. Not only would the saint not blame him, but he would also promote his grandson. After that, the Jia family also changed from suppressing to coaxing.
Such a bizarre thing happened to my grandson, and he couldn't help but not believe it.
Later, when my grandson came back from Yangzhou, my two ancestors told me that it was time for my mother-in-law to have a wedding, and they ordered me to help build the home for the mother-in-law at all costs. They also reminded me not to let my mother-in-law say anything that would bring trouble to the whole family.
Come."
.
Jia Lian spoke in one breath, while Jia Mu listened carefully and thought about it.
Even if Jia Lian tells lies, will he make up a curse on himself that says, "Jia's family will be raided"? Will he make up a decadent phrase that says, "Everything is doomed," as a warning from his ancestors? p>
Even if it is to secure his position as the head of the Rongguo Mansion, is it worth it for a young master who is only twenty years old to do such a thing and curse the whole family?
No, it won't.
When you look at your children and grandchildren who have grown up, you know what kind of virtue they have in their bones. As a grandmother, you still know.
Although Jia Lian is not as smart as Baoyu, and he also has some lecherous habits, he is the same as Baoyu. He is pure in nature and acts benevolently and righteously. He comes from a wealthy family, but he does not have the bullying and domineering behavior of wealthy young men. Those bastard things that unconscionably deceive others and harm others, they
Can't do it.
.
Finally, Jia Mu sighed and nodded:
"It turns out that you are the one with good fortune.
I originally thought that as long as you grandchildren and great-grandchildren can grow up safely and smoothly, with good etiquette and etiquette, families like ours will not have to rely solely on the imperial examination to become officials, and sooner or later they will be able to obtain official titles.
, there is always wealth in a lifetime.
It’s just that I never expected that a big family like ours, which is always busy with food, could encounter such a huge change as being ‘convicted’ and ‘property confiscated’.
If that's the case, let alone me, a widowed old woman, who can't cope with it. Even if your grandfather is still alive, he didn't fight with a sword or a gun on the battlefield, or earned his fame by studying hard for ten years in a cold window. It's all the kindness of his ancestors.
, he can’t withstand this disaster.”
Looking at Jia Lian, Jia Mu held Jia Lian's hand with one hand and patted Jia Lian's hand again and again:
"Lian Er, I'm not going to hide it from you. It's precisely because I love Baoyu that I can't bear to let Baoyu take on the responsibility of the whole family.
You are the eldest son and grandson. From now on, the title and property are yours, and the responsibilities are naturally yours.
You have to worry about the present and future of the entire Rongguo Mansion. Baoyu cannot do this.
He was born to enjoy the life of wealth and honor. Writing poems and poems is good, but he cannot endure hardship or worry.
Since you are his brother and the head of the family, you have to take more care of him from now on."
With Jia Mu's words, Jia Lian's goal has been completely achieved.
.
Of course, if Jia Mu only listens to one side of the story, is there any reason why it is not easy to be deceived?
Sure enough, within two days, Jia Mu found an excuse and called Baoyu to come to her room alone for a chat.
After sending all the girls out, Jia Mu talked to Baoyu in a roundabout way.
Baoyu was careless, and Jia Mu told stories and jokes, and was finally led to talk about the fantasy dream he had in Qin Keqing's house.
Of course, Baoyu did not dare to tell that the fairy fairy had betrothed her sister, nicknamed "Jianmei" and nicknamed "Keqing", to him, and allowed him to taste the balcony and Wu Gorge for several days in a row.
The words are gentle and difficult to explain.
Baoyu only said that the fragrance he burned was called "Qunfang Marrow", which was made from the essence of new and exotic flowers in the famous mountain resorts, combined with the oil of various precious forest pearl trees; the name of the tea he drank was "Qianhongyicao"
, it came out of the Fangchun Mountain Qianxiang Cave, and cooked it with the dew carried on the fairy leaves; and the wine it drank was called "Ten Thousand Beauties in the Same Cup", which was made with the stamens of hundreds of flowers and the juice of thousands of trees.
The fermented grains of lin marrow are brewed with phoenix milk.
When Jia's mother asked him what music he had listened to, Baoyu only remembered that Jinghuan had said it was called "Twelve New Songs of "A Dream of Red Mansions"". At that time, he was looking at the original manuscript of "A Dream of Red Mansions", reading the text with his eyes and listening to its songs with his ears.
.It’s just that Baoyu had no interest that day, so he kept repeating the words and didn’t remember them at all.
Although Jia Mu is old, she has a good memory. When she heard "A Dream of Red Mansions", the "Twelve Branches" were exactly what Jia Lian said.
Jia Mu couldn't help but secretly marveled. Looking at Baoyu, she suddenly shed tears.
.
Baoyu was talking happily, but for some reason Jia Mu was suddenly sad and frightened and got up quickly:
"But what stupid thing did the grandson say that pissed off the old lady?
The old lady may be beaten or scolded, but don’t get so angry that your grandson will die.”
Jia Mu liked Baoyu's considerate nature the most. She took Baoyu and held him in her arms. She rubbed Baoyu's head and said with tears:
"My baby, don't worry, I'm alive, I'm in charge of everything, no one dares to wrong you.
If the day comes when I am gone, I will definitely entrust someone who can hold up the sky, so that he can take good care of you from now on and never make you feel uncomfortable.
I just hope that God will bless us and our ancestors will be alive, so that we don’t get to the point where we are convicted and have our homes confiscated.”
Baoyu was a sentimental person. Naturally, he couldn't think of anything about "having his house confiscated because of a crime." He was inexplicably sad when he heard this. In addition, Daiyu had been paying no attention to him in the past two days, which made him even more sad. He immediately pounced on Jia.
The tears in my mother’s arms continued.
Grandfather and grandson hugged each other, each had something on their mind, but they were generally sad and wept for a long time.
.
Suddenly, there was a sound of tinkling, banging, drumming, and shouting coming from outside. The noise made Jia Mu suddenly stop feeling sad and frowned.
