It is said that Baoyu saw Jia Huan at Liu Xianglian's wedding banquet and was stunned for a long time. The two brothers were not from the same mother. Baoyu had always lived in Jia's mother's yard, while Jia Huan almost never went there, so the two of them
Even though they met by chance at home, Jia Huan only pretended to be stupid and had never been so generous and happy.
Jia Cong was busy trying to smooth things over: "Oh, brother Baoyu, you're here too~~ Have you had a drink without giving any gifts?"
Baoyu asked blankly: "Do you recognize Qin Zhong?"
Jia Huan said: "We know him. Where was he just now? Are you looking for him?"
Jia Cong kicked him and turned to Baoyu, "I just saw you two together? What's wrong?"
Baoyu was dejected: "He just said a few words and he became angry."
Jia Huan and Jia Cong looked at each other, and Jia Huan said: "You didn't say something wrong again..."
Baoyu thought about it for a long time, and found out that he really didn't say anything wrong. He also saw the two of them looking at him like they were stupid. He felt a little annoyed, so he whispered what they had said just now. When he finished speaking, "
Sure enough, I got a stunning beauty." The two young men covered their faces at the same time. No matter how much Baoyu looked at him, he could see that something was wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong with this statement?"
Jia Huan's hands were still on his face and he refused to let go: "I don't know you, who are you?"
Jia Cong said with both laughter and laughter: "I know that the word 'beautiful' that brother Baoyu said was meant as a compliment, or just as a compliment. But if you say this to others casually, they will think it is frivolous, okay? When will you stop being alone?
Stay in your own world and listen to what others say?"
Baoyu was shocked: "Why is it so frivolous?"
Jia Cong said: "If others say this, it must be frivolous. If I didn't know you, I would think you mean frivolous."
Baoyu said anxiously: "I didn't!"
Jia Cong said: "Everyone else thinks you have it. There are too many other people, and you can't explain it one by one. Even if you explain it, others may not be willing to listen. Are you willing to let others misunderstand that you are frivolous towards Sister-in-law Liu Er, or are you willing to learn a little bit about the world?"
How do most people talk?" After saying this, he covered his face again, "Oh my God, brother Baoyu, don't you feel embarrassed? This kind of thing should be taught by the elder brother to the younger brother, but you are so slow that you want both of us to do it.
Let me tell you, we both feel very embarrassed. How blind and deaf are you?"
Baoyu was stunned again when he heard "eyes open, blind, deaf."
Jia Huan suddenly said sternly: "If anyone talks about my sister like that, I will beat him up too." Seeing Baoyu still looking dazed, he couldn't help but sigh, "Second brother, you are obviously ten times smarter than me, but you don't care about these things.
You look like an idiot. People who are sensible will understand everything in a flash, but you are a little bit more understanding."
Wu You hummed leisurely at the side: "It's the easiest thing to worry about if you don't understand. After all, you adults have to worry about him. Suddenly, understanding is very tiring. Being forced to understand a little thing is already very tiring. Is it possible?
Why don't you let people be lazy for a little longer?" He turned around and looked at Baoyu, "I don't like you. You cause trouble and trouble for people day and night, and you still pretend to be innocent.
It seems like it's their fault that people don't understand you. Who do you think they are? They have to understand you?" After saying this, he put down the half-broken cupcake in his hand, turned around and left.
This was the first time that Baoyu was pointed at the nose and told that he didn't like him, and he was stunned on the spot and couldn't recover.
Jia Huan glanced at Wu You and saw that he had gone far away with no intention of coming back. He muttered, "I'm not afraid of thunder and lightning for wasting such a delicious snack." He glanced at the half piece of water chestnut cake several times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore.
He stretched out his hand and put it into his mouth.
Jia Cong looked at him sideways until he finished eating and started eating spring rolls again, covering his face again: "God doesn't have eyesight, I'm actually fatter than you!"
Jia Huan snorted, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Baoyu's eyes: "Second brother, come to your senses~~"
Baoyu came back to his senses, still a little dazed. After half a day, he said: "I have no intention of being rude to Sister Qin Zhong."
Jia Cong shook his head: "No one said that you were rude to Sister-in-law Liu Er, you never grasped the point! We were all saying that you are a fool! Most men in the world are frivolous when they say a woman is 'beautiful', but you actually
I don’t know. Okay, just don’t say it again in the future. I don’t blame you, you have become a nerd now. If you go out and see the world more, you will know if you see someone getting beaten up for saying such things.
.No one will know for no reason, right?"
Baoyu smiled bitterly and said: "But you all know it. Many things in the past... are known to everyone, but I don't know."
Jia Cong also smiled bitterly and said, "We would have died if we didn't know this!" Baoyu was startled, and Jia Cong continued, "Huan'er is so clever and jumping around, you must never go back and tell others! Your wife knows it.
It can kill him."
Jia Huan grinned, looked up and saw Baoyu was stunned again. Then he simply said: "In the house, I am just a little frozen cat who can't get on the table and combs his hair. That's it. Second brother, please do it."
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Mrs. Charity..."
Jia Huan stopped him with words: "That's just charity to you, thank you. It's not charity to me."
Jia Cong also said: "No woman would be kind to a child born to her husband and another person. But now that it is born, she wants to strangle him to death but has no choice but to do so. If Huan really has a promising future, she will definitely kill him." After that, she said:
I couldn't help but sigh, "I will never want a little wife in the future."
Jia Huan hurriedly said: "I don't want it either!" He glanced at Baoyu and sighed, "No need to ask, brother Baoyu has already settled on several wives. If you give birth to a daughter in the future, just give it back, but if you give birth to a son, don't do it.
Let him make progress. It will be good for your concubine and Second Grandma Bao."
How could Baoyu have thought about this? He was confused again. Jia Huan knew that he had a pure and kind nature, and since he had made it clear, he thought he would not tell Mrs. Wang, so he went to eat snacks with peace of mind.
Jia Cong felt that today was an excellent opportunity to wake up Jia Baoyu's big burden at once, so he said, "Let's go back early today. Sister Lin is still thinking about their wedding."
Baoyu immediately turned around: "Sister Lin knows?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Lin also gave two good things to Sister-in-law Liu to add makeup."
Yin took a teapot and pulled him aside. While drinking tea, he whispered "The story of Qin Keqing leaving the nunnery". Baoyu couldn't help being happy and clapped his hands.
Jia Cong said: "It's good, I'm really capable. It's my ability to come up with ideas like grafting flowers and grafting others on, and it's my ability to find a nunnery that is willing to ignore Gu Ningguo Mansion and let Sister Liu's second sister-in-law return to secular life. Brother Baoyu, you're used to it."
It's the icing on the cake, but it won't help when it's time. To tell you the truth, the time you went to Nan'an Prince's Mansion to cause trouble, my eldest sister almost died."
Baoyu was stunned again.
Jia Congcai was too lazy to pity him, and couldn't tell him that Gong Kun had visited the palace at night. He only said that Yuanchun was so tired that he knelt all night, and she was lucky if she didn't freeze to death. "You just ran to Lychee Lane in a hurry and offended Uncle Lin.
You were so angry that the old lady comforted you. After three or two years, I thought you had become sensible, but you only worried about yourself and went to the Nan'an Palace to cause trouble for your eldest sister. My dear brother! No one outside will understand.
Let me give it to you. You think you have a clean temper. Please, this is not called clean, this is called stupidity. If you want to be clean, the first thing is not to cause trouble to others. After causing trouble, you will regret it later. Why not just not cause trouble in the first place? Kuang You
Some things can be regretted, but some things cannot be regretted. What if the eldest sister can't survive it? If you regret it to your heart's content, she won't be able to survive even if you become a monk and become a monk, right? Take today as an example, if Qin Zhong hadn't been with you
We have known each other for a long time, and it would be a light thing to fall out and beat you up on the spot. It would be a small matter for you to be beaten up, but it would be a big deal for you to disturb the second brother Liu's wedding. I advise the second brother to listen more and see more. Don't think about yourself.
.As long as you don't cause trouble to others, you will be doing a great favor." After saying this, he bowed deeply to him.
Baoyu was so ashamed that she only wished that there was no crack in the ground to get in. After half a day, she choked up and said: "In the future... I will ask other people more and never cause trouble with the sisters again."
Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "So you are still planning to cause trouble for the old lady, master and brothers? It's so heartless. The old lady is still blocking the knife for you at such an age. All you care about are your sisters."
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Of course I won't cause trouble to the old lady! I..." He lowered his head, "No one told me..."
Jia Cong snorted: "Did someone tell Brother Huan about it? He knows it all. If you want to know, go find it yourself. Brother Huan can find you, so why can't you? Either you move out of the old lady's yard, don't you?
I think it will be better if I get the protection of her old man like an old hen."
Baoyu thought for a while: "I'm afraid she won't..."
Jia Cong turned around and left.
Baoyu hurriedly grabbed him: "Wait a minute! Big sister..."
Jia Cong said: "It's better now. Prince Nan'an doesn't like her. Even though she's young and staying alone in an empty house, it's better than fighting with the princess's concubines and other concubines in the house, life and death."
Baoyu remained silent for another half day and said, "Maybe I can see her?"
Jia Cong said: "You can't even see a kid like me. You are already twelve years old. Tell me if you can see me."
"What about giving something away?"
"Occasionally, just secretly give something worthless, like the music score I sent you above. Keep the good things for yourself. Giving them to her will attract people's attention and cause resentment. If you really want to give her some comfort, take some of the things you wrote.
If you have good poems and articles, you can quietly send someone who is sensible and well-spoken to go to the back door of their palace and pay a few dollars to ask her little girl to come out and pick her up."
Baoyu shed tears again: "Now, even if you give your eldest sister ideas and good things, will you cause trouble for her?"
Jia Cong hummed: "She has a low status. If her food and clothing are better than those of a higher status, wouldn't they be jealous? Anyway, her status is higher than hers, so she can't resist if she is punished, so she will be punished easily."
Baoyu said angrily: "How unfair!"
Jia Cong glanced at him: "Huan'er doesn't dare to ask for good things even if there are good things outside. For fear of letting your mother's people see it and offend her eyes, she can only eat good things in her mouth. Your mother is the legitimate mother.
, of course he can't resist if you want to punish him. Fortunately, he is a boy and can always survive until the day he becomes an adult and leaves the house, and then your mother will not be able to bully him."
Baoyu was speechless. After suffering for more than half a day, he suddenly asked: "Isn't it true that eldest sister can only live in this kind of grievance for the rest of her life?"
Jia Cong said casually: "Not necessarily. I can't guarantee when I will get the chance to let Huo Xuan divorce her. But I'm afraid her reputation will be worse, or she will have to suffer some physical pain before leaving; or she will have to wait until Huo Xuan dies. There is no need to keep an ordinary concubine - see, sometimes having a low status has its advantages. It's just that we don't know when he will die, and if we can't guarantee a long life, my eldest sister will have to waste her whole life on him."
A murderous aura suddenly flashed across Baoyu's body.
Jia Cong blinked, somewhat doubting that he had seen it wrong.
After a banquet that day, I returned home and changed my clothes. Lan Xiang came in and said, "Third Master, there is a scabby monk and a lame Taoist priest outside the door."
Jia Cong was tired and fell lazily on the wicker chair: "Go to the kitchen and pack twenty plain steamed buns for them."
Lan Xiang left in response and came back half a day later: "They don't want buns, they keep saying they want to see you."
Jia Cong said: "I'm tired and don't want to see them."
Lan Xiang ran away again. After a while he came back: "Third Master, they are refusing to leave."
Jia Cong was annoyed, so he took off his shoes and walked out with a dark face. Many brothers saw that Dun was in trouble and couldn't help but follow him. When he opened the door near Ningrong Street, he saw a monk standing there together. , with a face full of anger.
Jia Cong turned his face and said, "You want to see me, right?"
The monk recited the Buddha's name: "Donor, where are you from?"
Jia Cong did not answer, but waved his hand leisurely: "Okay, now that we have seen each other, I have forgotten my wish. Hello, monk. Goodbye, monk." He looked at the Taoist priest again and said, "Hello, Taoist priest, Goodbye, Taoist priest." He turned around and started to go back.
The monk hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Donor, why don't you take a step to speak?"
Jia Cong said: "I don't have time. My brother Baoyu and second sister-in-law Lian have not encountered any blue-faced and white ghosts, so there is no need to trouble you. Look, it's me, I've saved you a lot of trouble, no need Thank you for calling me Red Scarf."
The Taoist priest jolted over and scolded: "Who are you? Why did you mess up the destiny? We thought that the time was slightly different, but we waited for several months and did not wait until the two of them were in trouble. Shen Ying's waiter actually had a risk on his body. A murderous aura is coming out! After all, you are the only one who is disobeying destiny."
Jia Cong hummed: "Who is Tianming? Where does he live? Is there a movie? Do I know him? Tianming wants me to destroy the whole family, so I have to follow him and die?" Yin waved two fingers, " No, no! My fate is up to me." Then he turned around and said, "Take the buns and eat them. If it's convenient, wash your face and change clothes. It's always more comfortable to be clean. It's better to leave or not."
The monk only took two steps to pursue him, and was stopped by a group of young men who came up from behind. Although these children didn't quite understand, they could tell that there might be a mystery here, and they all stood there coldly with their necks twitching.
The Taoist priest counted with his fingers for a long time: "I can't even calculate half of it! Why did Jia Cong's destiny change like this?" He looked at the monk.
When the monk was about to speak, Lan Xiang stuffed the baggage he had just packed for them into his hand: "Our master said, why do outsiders have to interfere in the internal affairs of the country? We should eat and drink enough to recite sutras." He then said to the Taoist priest, "We I once heard an immortal said that Taoists don’t like to preach. They only say to the laity: If you want to believe in the Tao, believe it. If you don’t believe it, get out. Don’t disturb the poor Taoist’s practice. Our grandpa admires him very much.” Finally, he said to all the young people with a smile. Li said, "It's okay. Please go ahead and do whatever you need to do."
Everyone looked at the monk for a few times and then slowly went back.
Lan Xiang closed the door, and Seng Dao and Su Baozi were locked out together.
