It is said that when Shi Xiangyun arrived at Rongguo Mansion, he pretended to be joking in Li Wan's house, but was really frightened waiting for the letter from Jia Mu's discussion with Baoyu. He read at midnight and then went back to Jia Mu's courtyard at lunch time. He saw the mandarin ducks coming up to say hello with joy on their faces.
, immediately understood that the matter of her entering Baoyu's house was gone, and she became more and more anxious: I don't know whether Baoyu persuaded Jia's mother not to let her aunt live in the same room, or whether she just wanted her and Hubo to find another person in the house. Pian Jia
Her mother hadn't told her yet, so she had to pretend she didn't know anything and had lunch with Jia Mu.
I finally found a moment to ask Yuanyang, who happily saluted her and said, "Thank you so much, Miss Yun! Our ancestors said that she still can't live without me."
Shi Xiangyun asked hurriedly: "Did she tell Brother Baoyu that she would let him go in the house?"
Yuanyang said, "You never told me this." She didn't dare to say more.
Shi Xiangyun understands Jia Mu. If Baoyu violates her will, she will always be a little upset. And she also understands Baoyu. Even if Baoyu has been screwing with the old lady for a while, he doesn't dare to keep screwing her. It seems at the moment
, 90% of the time, the person in the room next to me was going to be replaced. I couldn't help but feel confused, and said to Yuanyang: "Ancestor... did you say anything else?"
Yuanyang said: "I just said that we can't live together."
Xiangyun then lowered her head: "I'm afraid I have to change someone else." She suddenly grabbed Yuanyang and said, "Sister! How about..." She swallowed hard again. After a while, she let go of her hand in confusion and shook her head.
.
Yuanyang stood there for a long time, trying to persuade her but was unable to do so. All the girls in the house went to the south, so she had to say, "Girl, why don't you go ask Grandma Zhu."
Xiangyun smiled bitterly and said: "What can she do...yesterday she said that if there were people in Brother Rizhu's house who could keep it, she would also have an arm."
Yuanyang hesitated for a while and said: "Don't worry, girl, she is the grand-niece of our ancestor's natal family... Two days ago, she wanted to settle the two of us, so she hurriedly thought of Mr. Bao. Now that it's not us, we have to... live.
It will take two years to enter the house again. What if there are other variables if the guarantee is not enough after two years? Mr. Huan also said that he does not want Mr. Bao to have too many people in the house. I am afraid it will be troublesome."
Xiangyun was stunned: "What does it have to do with Huan'er?"
Seeing that she was still in her dream, Yuanyang said softly: "Master Huan is already supporting us in this mansion."
Xiangyun frowned and said, "Where can I get his turn?"
Yuanyang has recognized Jia Huan as his master, and with Shi Qiusheng here, his heart has turned away, so he lowers his eyebrows and says: "Neither the second master nor the second master Bao can support the appearance. Uncle Xiaolan is younger and is becoming more and more supportive."
Don’t live up to facade.”
Xiangyun was not deaf and mute. She had heard about Jia Zheng a long time ago. She also knew Baoyu's character in her heart, but she had never thought about Jia Huan. Now that the mandarin duck stabbed her, she suddenly understood. After a long while, she murmured
Said: "Brother Huan is a bastard after all..."
Yuanyang said: "When a man goes out to do things, who cares about his legitimate children?"
"...Does sister know that our ancestor chose Brother Huan to marry?"
Yuanyang said: "I heard from the people in the eldest master's yard that last time Third Master Cong returned to Beijing and mentioned to the eldest wife that the eldest master had arranged a marriage for Third Master Huan, and his status was very high. Now, all the princes in the world, let's go down
Everyone is guessing whether it is the princess of which family."
Xiangyun was a little surprised, because it was not surprising to think that Jia Huan had a close relationship with Dafang. Then he sighed: "He is a blessed person." Because he thought, if Jia Huan becomes the princess, according to his status, he will probably
There was no need for the princess to allow him to take his aunt into the same room; he was the only one who had to accommodate them in the second room, which made him increasingly worried.
After some time, Mrs. Wang brought two pretty girls to show to Mother Jia, and especially told her to dress up brightly. Mother Jia frowned when she saw them, and said, "They look like fairies." She sent her away.
He kowtowed and said he would go look for it again. Two more wooden ones came, but Jia Mu was still dissatisfied and asked, "Are there any girls in the house who look good enough to meet people?"
Mrs. Wang said: "The one who stands out the most is the girl Yu Chuier in the second wife's room."
Jia Mu shouted: "Nonsense!"
Mrs. Wang added: "She still looks pretty good, but she's just a little younger."
Jia Mu said: "Don't be afraid, just bring it to me first."
Mrs. Wang agreed, and the next day she brought two more ignorant ones. Mother Jia didn't take a fancy to them at first glance, and didn't even bother to say anything, so she waved them away and took them out.
How could Jia's mother be willing to wrong Baoyu? So she called Li Wan and told her: "Baoyu is not young anymore. According to the rules, there should be two people in the house to serve him. But we can't find a good girl in the house. I am here.
There is some money, so ask people to go out and ask around, and buy two of them if they have good character and temperament." Li Wan felt worried in his heart, but he had no choice but to agree.
Naturally, it was inconvenient for her to go out and handle the matter herself, so she asked her sister-in-law to go find out.
After Tanchun Xichun and the others went south, Li Wanzhi felt that it was not a problem for her two daughters to live in a girl's yard, so she rented a yard on Ningrong Street and moved out. Li Wan still took care of her for the first two months.
Someone had already proposed marriage to Li Wen; because when Jia She left Beijing, he told Jia Mu not to give away a girl who was involved with the Rongguo Mansion at will, so Jia Mu tried to persuade her not to marry him.
After listening to Li Wan's words, Aunt Li sent a servant to look for Ren Yazi. The servant didn't have any clues, so he told the truth. Hearing that he was picking up people in the house for the young master of Rongguo Mansion, Ren Yazi immediately said that he was satisfied.
Flowers are blooming all over the world, so it’s easy to make a sure decision. In a few days, they will send some excellent ones to their home to choose from.
Jia Yun, who had been invited by Jia Cong to help in the shop in the early years, was now a very important shopkeeper in Jia Cong's shop because of her cleverness and righteousness. Secretly, she was on Luo Tainiang's side, inquiring about information from everywhere. He made friends with Jia Yun.
He had many friends, and among them there was a drunken Vajra Ni Er who had a lot of contacts with some individuals and horse dealers. He heard about it immediately and told Jia Yun casually while having a drink with him. Jia Yunqi said: "The people in their house
There are so many colorful girls, why do you go out to buy someone? It's a bit strange."
After eating and drinking, he did not go home. He went straight to the Taiping Escort Bureau to find Jia Si. He told Ni Er's words and persuaded him: "I can't comment on this matter. It's just that the world is divided now, and all the princes and the court are everywhere.
Set up spies. If Uncle Bao wants two people in the house, why not pick them from the house? If someone buys something inappropriate, he is not stubborn. "
Jia Si nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. I will tell Huan'er tomorrow and ask him to try to stop this matter."
The next day he called Jia Huan and told him. Jia Huan jumped in fright: "No! Are you kidding me?"
Jia Si said: "The letter that Brother Yun received must not be false."
Jia Huan ran back home without even drinking tea.
Jia's mother was still talking to Shi Xiangyun at this moment. When she saw Jia Huan barging in with her head covered, her face immediately dropped: "What are you doing so rashly?"
Jia Huan glanced at Shi Xiangyun, glanced at Jia's mother, turned to Yuanyang and said, "Please, sister Yuanyang, please invite brother Baoyu here."
Yuanyang looked at Jia Mu, who thought he had something important to do, so she said, "Go ahead." Then she asked Xiangyun to go play somewhere else.
When Baoyu arrived, Jia Huan said: "Old ancestor, everyone in the capital knows about the big commotion in the brothel a few days ago. If you are unfilial, your reputation will not be good."
Mother Jia snapped: "I've turned against you!"
"Second brother's reputation is pretty good." Jia Huan looked at Baoyu, "Anyway, from what I heard, people in Shilin think that both of us have brought trouble to me, and everyone feels pity for us."
Jia Mu wanted to be angry, but felt that he had not finished speaking, so she held back.
Jia Huan continued: "I heard that everyone in the capital already knew that Mr. Bao of Rongguo Mansion wanted to buy a housewife. It was as lively as if he were choosing an oiran."
Jia Mu was shocked: "What?!"
Jia Huan looked at Baoyu again: "Back then, my second brother said he didn't want to bring in a house full of colorful women, and he only wanted to seek fame. Was he just joking?" While talking, he winked at Baoyu and sighed in his heart.
After half a day, I still came up with an excuse for him.
Just when Baoyu was about to speak, Jia Mu scolded her: "I asked her to secretly buy two good people, but she made such a fuss! Sure enough, she can't do anything at all. She can't even compare to Feng Yatou's fraction."
When Jia Huan heard this, he guessed that it was Li Wan who was doing the work, and said: "Old ancestors, how could you ask a widow to do this... Sister-in-law Zhu obviously can't go by herself, so she might have entrusted someone to do it. Besides, it's like this
No matter who the news is, they will not let it go. If you tell them not to spread it outside, how will they listen? How novel and interesting."
Jia Mu said, "Why don't other families buy people?"
Jia Huan curled his lips and said, "No one else's father made a big fuss over a fan."
Jia Mu suddenly choked.
Jia Huan then said: "Now that's good, by the time these two people in the house are chosen, the second brother's reputation will be almost completely ruined."
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Ancestor, I have told you not to marry each other for the sake of study and peace."
Jia Huan continued: "There is no way to be quiet now. It will be as lively as possible."
Jia Mu said in a loud voice: "No, no, no! Just pick two from the house! Don't want the ones from outside!"
Jia Huan said: "Let's not pick anyone in the house first. Let's just say that the rumors outside are all false. The second brother is not ready to pick anyone in the house. Otherwise, if we talk about others, we will definitely say that we are listening to the rumors.
I just took back the purchase to cover up for my second brother."
Jia's mother didn't understand for a moment: "How can choosing someone in the house be a cover-up?"
Jia Huan said without hesitation: "People are taking the opportunity to accuse my second brother of being frivolous and debauched! Now the only thing is to break up more and get over it."
The four words "frivolous and debauched" were so shocking that Jia Mu stood up in shock: "Nonsense! There are people like this in the clear sky who are falsely accusing their own children for nothing. Take it and see the officials!"
Jia Huan curled his lips and said: "Then they must think that we have been taken advantage of, and we will jump over the wall in a hurry."
Baoyu also said: "Old ancestor, I don't want anyone in the house! What's more, this matter has caused such trouble... Once your reputation is tarnished, it will be difficult to get it back."
Jia Huan added: "Old ancestors, think about my reputation."
Mother Jia was so angry that she repeatedly leaned on the ground with her cane: "These are the ones with rotten hearts and rotten intestines! They only hope that something will happen to others all day long. They want to see the excitement, but in fact, they are male thieves and female prostitutes in their stomachs!"
Jia Huan added: "I'm afraid that they are male thieves and female prostitutes, and they wish that everyone in the world would be like them and only look down on their good deeds. It's just that scoundrels are the most difficult to deal with. You can't hurt Jade Ping'er just to kill mice."
Baoyu also said: "I have nothing to do, so why bother with this? I really don't want a house full of women to disturb my studies."
Jia Mu sighed: "You don't understand. Before a young man from a wealthy family gets married, there are several people in the house... Even if I don't choose, your mother will definitely choose."
Jia Huan understood immediately. It was not that Jia Mu didn't care about Shi Xiangyun at all. Shi Xiangyun's natal family would not support her, so they could not follow secular conventions. If someone needed someone anyway, instead of letting Mrs. Wang choose her person, it would be better for Jia Mu
It would be better for the person who picked me to stay with Baoyu. Then he said: "The trouble outside has already become like this. After all, my wife loves my second brother."
Jia Mu thought about it for a long time, but there was really no other way, so she had to send them away temporarily. Then she ordered someone to call Li Wan and scolded them so hard that Li Wan's knees were numb.
When she returned, Jia Lan watched his mother applying medicine with distress and said angrily: "I have caused such an unreliable thing to my mother for nothing, and yet I still have the nerve to blame you. Our ancestors are getting more and more confused."
Li Wan hurriedly covered his mouth: "Don't let others hear."
Jia Lan said nothing, but his heart was still depressed.
Jia's mother sent someone to tell Mrs. Wang about the matter again, but she only blamed Li Wan. Mrs. Wang was also determined to find a roommate for Baoyu. At this moment, she had already selected three or four candidates.
Annoyed, he scolded Li Wan again and slapped her twice on the ear. Li Wan just bowed his head and admitted his mistake without saying a word of defense.
The matter was over for now. Shi Xiangyun was overjoyed.
Jia Huan did not quietly help the person who said nothing, but told Yuanyang, "I was the one who complained about Renyaozi," and so on. Finally, he sighed: "I'm not afraid that there will be too many people in the second brother's house.
Mind your own business. Although Sister Yun’s relationship with me is mediocre, she and I are a hero. I really admire her."
Yuanyang understood and found an opportunity to go to Shi Xiangyun's house and quietly leaked to her: "The third master Huan settled all the troubles with the people in the second master's house for the girl."
Shi Xiangyun was startled: "Why is it him?"
Yuanyang recounted in detail what Jia Huan and Jia Mu said that day, and how he hinted at Baoyu's excuse. He also said that there were no rumors outside that framed Mr. Bao's reputation, and that they were all made up by Jia Huan to fool Mrs. Jia Mu.
Shi Xiangyun's face turned pale with shock. She said: "I heard Mr. Huan said that he admired Miss Yun's father very much and didn't want his family to wrong the orphan of General Shi, so he helped you. Please invite me back then."
The second girl taught the girl, and also heard about the deeds of my father."
Shi Xiangyun's heart felt like a thunder exploded, and he said blankly: "My father? I lost my parents after peeing, and I don't know at all."
Yuanyang lowered his eyes and said, "All the masters in the capital deliberately do not mention the story of General Shi. Even if you think about it, no one would dare to tell the girl."
Xiangyun hurriedly pulled her and said: "Good sister! Tell me!"
Yuanyang only stared at her toes: "How do I know about things that even the masters dare not say?" He glanced at her.
Xiangyun thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I won't embarrass my sister. Thank you for telling me. Does Baoyu know?"
"No one would tell him such a shameless thing."
Xiangyun nodded and thanked her again. Yuanyang lowered his head and saluted her.
