Let's talk about Mrs. Wang's stroke. The joy of Baoyu's marriage aroused her desire to study Shi Xiangyun. She actually got better and could talk some. She couldn't wait to read Xiangyun at midnight and worked hard for a whole day and night. Xiangyun took advantage of the opportunity to pretend.
Mrs. Wang was sick and said angrily: "It's useless at all. What's the use of such a daughter-in-law! How can she serve Baoyu in daily life!" Then she cast her eyes on several girls. The girls immediately understood that she had the intention to keep Baoyu in the house.
My heart is like a deer bumping around!
The eldest girl beside her, Caiyun, is honest and careful, and she is not stupid either. What is the situation in the house now and what is the situation of the second wife? She seems to have a stick in her heart. The matter of Yuanyang going to Qilaizhai is the maid and daughter-in-law of the house.
I had known it for a long time, and I also guessed that Yuanyang had switched to Jia Cong and Jia Huan. Only Jia Zheng, Jia Mu and others dared to tell them. Who wouldn't envy such a good thing? Kuang Caiyun is really not young, Wang
Madam never let her go out to mate, and she became anxious inside. Ever since Jia Yingchun suddenly started to teach Shi Xiangyun, there were rumors in the house that the two third masters were secretly friends with Miss Shi. Regardless of whether this was true or not, third master Huan had obviously seen it.
He was the enemy of Mrs. Wang, and he was probably not happy about anything that made Mrs. Wang happy. So Caiyun just lowered her head and held her breath, secretly making a plan.
Mrs. Wang never paid attention to her. She was old and was not in Mrs. Wang's eyes.
Later, when Mrs. Wang fell asleep, Caiyun gave some instructions to the little girl below. She just said to go for a stroll, got up and walked out of the yard, looked back for a few times, and quietly slipped into Aunt Zhao's courtyard. First, she pretended to say some flattering words to Aunt Zhao.
After sitting for a long time to make her happy, Jia Huan came back. Caiyun glanced at him. Jia Huan knew that something was wrong, so the two of them worked together to coax Aunt Zhao into a party, and then went to Jia Huan's own room one after another.
.
Caiyun's face seemed to be burning with fire. She still knelt on the ground and bravely told Mrs. Wang what she wanted. Jia Huan sneered twice when he heard the words and asked, "Has she decided on someone?"
Caiyun lowered his head even lower: "No."
Jia Huan nodded: "I understand, thank you very much."
Caiyunnai kowtowed, and ran away as if to run away before Jia Huan could take out the reward money. Jia Huan went to Aunt Zhao's place to be coquettish, and then got out and ordered the girl Xiao Que'er to go to Lixiangyuan and tell Jia Cong, "
I'll do it first, you'll do it later." Then he walked straight to Jia Baoyu's courtyard.
Baoyu now studies instead of studying. Fortunately, Xiangyun also has articles in his belly, and the couple is happy. Seeing him coming, they all thought that the matter about Ziyan two days ago was settled, so they stood up hurriedly and ordered
She Yue and Cuixi both went out. Jia Huan did not greet them either. When She Yue went out, he told her to "stay outside." She Yue nodded lightly. Baoyu and Xiangyun both breathed heavily.
Jia Huan came up to the two of them and said, "We just learned about a big event yesterday, and we wanted to tell it to our second brother and sister-in-law. We have discussed whether we should tell the master."
Baoyu asked what was going on.
Jia Huan sighed: "Cong'er and I went to the two ladies' houses to say hello and thank them for not killing her."
Baoyu and Xiangyun looked at each other, worried in their hearts.
"Does the second brother know that my grandfather also had three concubines in the past, and they all died in infancy?"
Baoyu said blankly: "I've never heard of it."
Jia Huan said: "It's all in the genealogy. The third uncle died when he was one year old, and the fourth uncle was three years old when he died. Only the fifth uncle was the son of his grandfather. He was very favored and was not easy to take action. When he was eight years old, he saw
The child was getting smarter and smarter, his body was getting better and better, and his grandfather liked him more and more. He couldn't wait any longer, so while his grandfather was returning to the military camp, he conspired with a kid-photographer to kidnap him from the corner of the street when he was leaving school.
If you tear up the vote, there will be no bones left."
Although he never said who he was, even though Baoyu Xiangyun was a fool, he knew who he was talking about. Both of them were dumbfounded. After a long while, Baoyu shouted: "Spraying people with blood! Is there any evidence?!"
Jia Huan said: "Uncle Wu is not dead, he was saved. He is living proof."
Baoyu was shocked again.
Jia Huan continued: "He was raised by Mr. Mu Xu, the uncle of the Prince of Dongping County. I have never seen the Dongping Prince's house in our house over the years. It's all because of him. Now he is a well-known man with both civil and military skills.
He is a man of great ability. His mother, Aunt He, was trampled to death by our ancestors, and Cong'er and I have spent the past few days trying our best to prevent him from seeking revenge on our ancestors."
Shi Xiangyun said in a trembling voice: "What can we do?"
Jia Huan said: "The two of us will try to figure out what's going on outside. But do we need to tell the master? If we tell him, I'm afraid he will feel unhappy. If we don't tell him, he will have a lot of social activities outside recently and will not be prepared or careless.
If you follow Uncle Wu's ways, we may not be able to save him in time."
Looking at Baoyu again, he was already crazy. Jia Huan gave him a look of disdain and twitched the corner of his mouth. Xiangyun said hurriedly: "Good brother, you know your brother has never been so frightened. He is scared.
"
Jia Huan muttered: "There is still time to scare! The fifth uncle's junior brother named Shi will beat ten of them one by one. I'm just afraid that he will jump up to the rafter in the middle of the night and chop my ancestors with a knife."
Xiangyun thought for a while and said, "If he had the ability, he would have come here long ago, or maybe the Dongping Palace has stopped him from messing around."
Jia Huan secretly praised in his heart. Jia Cong was right. All the women in the Jia family are smart, including those who married in. He glanced at Baoyu and said loudly: "How about I discuss it with my sister-in-law."
Xiangyun smiled bitterly and said: "My ancestors have always loved him like a treasure, and there are times when it's hard to come back to our senses."
Jia Huan said: "What's strange? Cong'er and I have already guessed that the three uncles were killed by our ancestors. None of the concubines survived, but all the concubines survived. Even beating them with abacus beads was not the same.
That’s right. Do you believe she didn’t do it? What matters now is that Uncle Wu wants revenge."
Baoyu suddenly said sadly: "Since it can't be saved, my grandfather shouldn't have adopted a bastard son." Shi Xiangyun's face looked uncertain.
Suddenly, she heard She Yue shouting loudly outside: "Master Cong is here! Hello, Master Cong!"
Jia Huan ran to open the door and said with a smile: "It came very quickly."
Jia Cong smiled and said to She Yue: "She Yue is very good."
May the Musk Moon bow its head and be blessed.
Jia Cong came in and asked, "What did you say?"
"Brother Baoyu said that since my grandfather can't be saved, he shouldn't be a child."
Jia Cong said: "It's not surprising. My grandfather thought that after telling a lie ten thousand times, it would become the truth. Unfortunately, this is not the case. It is still a lie after being told a hundred thousand times."
Jia Huan kicked him: "Speak humanly!"
Jia Cong sat down in front of Baoyu, looked at him and said solemnly: "Men and women are completely different. When it comes to family matters, men want to have beautiful wives, beautiful concubines, and many children. This is the instinct of male animals.
They have more mates and reproduce more offspring, passing on their own genes. Although humans are more advanced than other animals, this aspect is in their bones and cannot be changed after a billion years of evolution. Women value love but want what they want.
They are a pair for life. When our ancestor first married into our family, even if someone in her natal family told her about virtues and virtues a hundred thousand times a million times, she still hoped in her heart that her grandfather would respect her and love her wholeheartedly. They
In the early years of their marriage, my grandfather must have really respected and loved her. Unfortunately, my grandfather never had the thought of "getting a scoop out of three thousand people."
One of the few men. My ancestors misunderstood. When her grandfather loved her in her early years, she mistakenly thought that her grandfather only took a scoop. At that time, even if a hundred thousand people said it to her ears a billion times, even though she
She said that she was virtuous and generous, but in her heart she was still ecstatic about her good fortune! But within a few years, she discovered that this matter was a misunderstanding from beginning to end! Her grandfather had never loved her alone, and he had never loved her alone.
She planned to love her alone. As ecstatic as she was then, she felt resentful now. She blamed her grandfather for deceiving her sincerity and not returning her sincerity. In fact, her grandfather had never deceived her, but she was
It was just wishful thinking. However, she had feelings for her grandfather after all, so she did not hate her grandfather first, but hated her old aunts first. She felt that it was not her grandfather who was empathic, but that those old aunts were vixens who seduced and coaxed her grandfather.
Empathy. Therefore, she devoted herself to dealing with the old aunts and grandmothers, just like the second wife devoted herself to dealing with her aunt. The concubine was the witness of her grandfather's empathy and the enemy's best friend. Unless she was killed, it would not be enough to satisfy her ancestors.
Even if it is not a matter of course, it is natural. As for my grandfather, he believed that his ancestors were women and all women were virtuous and generous. He could not be jealous of his aunt for dealing with his bastard, so naturally he would not guard against it. If he did not guard against it, he would
It’s not easy for our ancestors to kill several bastards as a legitimate wife!”
After saying this in one breath, he sat aside and rolled his eyes. Baoyu's face seemed sad and sighing, Xiangyun lowered his head and wished he could crawl into the cracks in the ground, and Jia Huan rolled his eyes several times.
After a long time, Baoyu said in a low voice: "So, is this the fault of our ancestors?"
Jia Cong nodded and said: "My ancestors made a big mistake. It was self-indulgence first and anger at others later. In the early years when she was still in the boudoir, those maids who coaxed her to say that her grandfather would treat her wholeheartedly or who commented on books were also wrong.
, aroused her thoughts that she shouldn't have. As for her grandfather, I don't think there is anything wrong. A man has a court, a battlefield, and a family in his heart. It is natural for him to spread his branches and leaves. How can he have free time to care about his wife's thoughts and feelings?
It’s nothing more than a pastime after dinner.”
Baoyu categorically responded: "Nonsense! There is love and infatuation in the world, but it can shine brightly in the world!"
"Oh." Jia Cong said leisurely, "Then let me see if you are crazy? Believe it or not, the second wife will send your aunt to you in a few days?"
Shi Xiangyun took a breath of air!
"By the way, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also natural enemies. Mother-in-law will be happy to do anything that can cause trouble for her daughter-in-law. How unfilial it is for Sister Yun not to teach her for fun when she is sick! Where can there be such an unfilial daughter-in-law in the world?
! Can’t we just let her rest comfortably like this? Is there any filial piety left in the world?”
Jia Baoyu was speechless! Xiangyun burst into tears immediately and cried: "I will go to serve my mother-in-law right now..."
Baoyu asked anxiously: "Is there any other way?"
Jia Cong said: "No. Unless you dare not accept the gift from your mother. But I advise you to accept it. Sooner or later, you will accept it."
Shi Xiangyun stood up unsteadily and walked out. Baoyu grabbed her and said, "What are you going to do!"
"Go and serve your mother-in-law."
"You can't do it! You are weak..."
"Even if you can't do it, you can do it."
Jia Cong and Jia Huan slid out of the door, closed the door, and said to She Yue, "Don't disturb me." She Yue pursed her lips and smiled.
After leaving the courtyard, Jia Cong looked up to the sky and sighed: "By doing this, she is truly worthy of General Shi. What happens next depends on her, and we can't help her."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "I'm not doing it for her, I just don't want the second wife to succeed. I'm happy to cause trouble for her."
The two brothers walked back to Lixiangyuan happily, arm in arm. They got up, smiled and said, "What's the matter with Coca-Cola? Everyone is happy."
Jia Huan pointed at Jia Cong and said, "He just stepped on Jia Baoyu again and knocked him unconscious."
Jia Cong grinned and said: "Brother Huan told him about his ancestor who killed his grandfather's concubine, and he was frightened. I took advantage of the situation to destroy his common sense." Then he sat down on the chair and crossed his legs, feeling proud and proud.
Said once. "Brother Baoyu was dumbfounded, hahaha..."
The only person who stood up in the whole courtyard was a woman. Everyone else laughed, but she didn't laugh. After a while, she said: "Although the third master's words are sincere to step on him, there is actually some truth in them."
Jia Cong said: "It's not just a few points! It's all facts, okay? There are roughly five types of men who have only one woman. The first type is the infatuated type, which is very rare. They are as rare as gold mining.
The ready-made example is Xue Pan—er, no, it’s Liu Dengxi!”
Everyone wanted to laugh but couldn't. They stood up and nodded their heads and sighed: "One is a cut sleeve, and the other is a eunuch."
Jia Cong shrugged and continued: "The second type is all about career and has little interest in women. They marry a wife and have a son to inherit the family. The third type is like me, brother Huan, and Huo Sheng.
Growing up in family disputes, they know how powerful women are and are unwilling to put their children in danger for the sake of their heirs. It’s not that they are unsentimental, but their children are more important than women. The fourth type is when a woman holds money or is powerful in her family, forcing the man to do so.
Don't dare to be petty. There are many of them. However, the most common type is the fifth type. Almost all men who don't cheat in the world are this type."
Start and ask: "What is it like?"
Jia Cong smiled and stretched out a finger: "I am too poor to marry a second woman." He stretched out a second finger, "He looks ordinary, and no woman is willing to be with him for money. Top, middle, bottom."
All kinds of brothels are prepared for the last three types of men. In fact, you can't even afford to visit the lower-class brothels, and there are still erotic pictures."
Get up and be silent.
Jarvis said aside: "There is also the first kind."
Jia Cong and Jia Huan pointed at him and laughed in unison: "You!" The brothers in the courtyard burst into laughter. Jarvis turned red in the face and went out to the study; they were still laughing behind him.
At that moment Jia Cong said: "How about you go talk to my second uncle?"
Jia Huan twisted a piece of mung bean cake and said, "Since Brother Baoyu knows about it, let him tell me. Let my father tell us about our ancestors." He put the snack in his mouth. "Let's go out quickly and let them play by themselves."
Son. I’m going to pick up my brother-in-law for shopping, but you’re not allowed to follow me!”
Jia Cong glanced at him, turned to the study and shouted loudly: "I'm going to see Uncle Lin. Brother Yao'er, are you going or not?"
"go!"
They guessed right. Jia Baoyu was timid and feared that Jia's mother would be retaliated against, so she returned to Jia Zheng tremblingly that day. Jia Zheng was paralyzed on the chair for a long time and could not get up. He ordered someone to call Jia Huan, and after a while
The man came back and said that Third Master Huan had gone to visit King Lu, and Third Master Cong had gone to see Lord Lin. Jia Zheng was stumped and said, "None of them are at home when we need them." After thinking about it again and again, he ran to Jia Mu's courtyard in person.
Zhong told her.
Jia Mu's face turned pale with fright, and she kept calling for people to guard the gate and the yard, and also asked for some big guard dogs to come. Within half an hour, she became frightened and fell ill. For a while, she asked a doctor to delay medicine.
He prayed to gods and worshiped Buddha again, and the whole house became a mess.
Baoyu saw everything in his eyes, and everything turned white. He stared blankly at the servants and women coming in and out of Jia Mu's courtyard for a long time. Then he turned around and returned to his own courtyard, only to see Shi Xiangyun sitting alone on the corridor weeping in panic, feeling sad in his heart.
. Then he slowly stepped forward and held her hand, and said sincerely: "I have three thousand pieces of weak water, but I can only take one scoop."
