The room was full of people from Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang. Baoyu thought that someone would tell the truth soon, and the two bosses would interrogate him, saying that men should not meddle in the house affairs, and they are the ones who clean up the maids, so he prepared a big story. The dawn is quiet here!

Maybe they think the matter is too small, or maybe they are not in the mood and lack of energy – rumors are flying all over the sky with wings.

The original book used the words of Zhou Rui’s family to say, “That little girl from Xiangling, is she the little girl who often said that she bought it when she was coming to Beijing, and brought a lawsuit for her death?” “Yinglian, a little lady from Gusu who was robbed and got a life lawsuit for her”, plus a very provocative ballad.

It has long been rumored that Xue’s family is relatives of the second wife of the Rong Mansion and the second grandmother of Lian. When Baoyu came to the family school, the eyes of the children’s shoes were colorful.

Bao Erye followed the teaching of Confucius, “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil, and hear no evil” and suffered from deaf-mute-blind syndrome.Every day, a long follower was sent to watch. Jia Dairu did not enter the school until it was almost there, and he also left when Jia Dairu left.

He would not go to teahouses to spend money all the time. There are two buildings in Baosha, the west room is the “backyard” and the east room is the “outside study”.

Apart from Mei Ren who was leaving soon, the maids serving in the study outside were on rotation, and both had to be over ten years old.The second master Bao had something to say: “My master grows up and doesn’t like little girls!”

It was too hard for the three maids to clean Ruoda’s “outside study”, so the women went into battle.All the women talk about their mouths, and they dare not disturb the young man’s study, so they are very quiet.

Our second master Bao was young and concentrated on studying, and stayed overnight in the “outside study”.

The characteristic of the Rong Mansion is that it is overstaffed, and the work of the girls in the “backyard” is halved, er, more than half, and only the girls on duty come to serve the second master.Fake stones will not let the girls idle to gamble, except that they are not allowed to throw dice to wipe cards during festivals!After finishing the chores every day, they all learn needlework from Nanny Song and tie netting with the eldest maid.It’s unreasonable for twenty or so dogs to have nothing to do with production and eat rice. It happened that he was short of money, so the tipper used the net purse produced in the “backyard” to prepare for opening an embroidery shop in the future.

In order to convince the maids, he ordered all the maids to read and write—to learn “Four Books for Women”!Every day he personally writes a sentence to teach Xiren Qingwen, and they will teach everyone.

Diligence and thrift start with you, and maids use clear water to write with fingers instead of pens.Keeping long nails is super unhygienic!In the original book, Qingwen has two two-inch long “green onion-like nails”. Now there is a trend of this, and she is not the only one. Everyone pursues Mrs. Liu’s long nails in life, and they can act as long nails when fighting. Kill the murder weapon as soon as possible!

It is not a common benefit for maids to be able to read and write. The older girls are sensible, and those who don’t understand are pointed at their noses and scolded. All the maids finally feel grateful to Second Master Bao.When this matter got to the ears of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, they just thought it was a child’s playfulness and didn’t take it seriously. Anyway, “Four Books for Women” is to teach women to be humble and avoid wrongdoing, which is not a bad thing.

Half a month passed in a hurry, and it was Jia Zheng’s rest day (the first and fifteenth day of the new year).Baoyu couldn’t go home too early, so he went to a teahouse in Laoditou, and brought along two children’s shoes.Jia Lan is a poor child who lacks the love of his father, and he is willing to regard his second uncle who is taller than him as his elder.Jia Jun was in vain since Jia Lan was two years old, and never rebelled against Uncle Bao’s elder status.

There is still a section away from the teahouse, and a certain thief’s eye saw a timid man in his thirties, wearing brand-new clothes, kneeling about 20 meters to the left of the teahouse, which is between the fronts of the two shops. Regardless of location.

Baoyu paused for a while, and Mingyan immediately understood—today is the day we made an appointment to meet He Fuquan face to face!

The first guy in the red building has good eyesight, he raised his eyes and found the target, pointed at Qian’er, and asked for leave: “Second master, there is a slave and a relative over there, his family is in the countryside…”

Baoyu nodded and interrupted: “Go, maybe I will come to see your father.”

Mingyan wanted to leave, but Baoyu called him again: “Wait! If he has nothing urgent, let him come to the teahouse and tell us something about farming.”

Li Gui disapproved: “Second Lord wanted to know about the crops, so he called the head of our farm to ask, that person is not like a farmer.” Speaking of this, he stared at Mingyan: “Is it your relative from outside? “——The daughter of a slave born in the family is indispensable. Those who have the master’s grace to let go of their status and marry ordinary people outside are called “outside relatives”.How can such an inferior person deserve to talk to Bao Erye?

Before Mingyan could answer, Baoyu shook his head and said, “Lan’er, Jun’er and I are only yellow-mouthed children, how can we call the manager Zhuangtou to ask some gossip? By the way, Mingyan doesn’t need to report the name of Rongfu, just The three students ask the peasants for advice on farming, you must be more respectful to the master! In ancient times, there was a posthumous harvest, but now the son of my anointed Liang is actually neither crop nor harvest, and he took three hundred grains of grain…”

The long-term attendants couldn’t hear clearly, but they only knew that the second master Bao respected the peasants. This is the right way, but it’s hard to stop it.

The two elementary school children had already memorized the “Book of Songs”, and they were greatly moved, imitating Uncle Xiaobao shaking his head and brain behind his back.The three steamed buns swayed all the way into the teahouse, how funny it must have been.Fortunately, as last time, the meal was over, and only the waiters, who would never laugh at guests, acted as the audience.

After entering the small private room, tea was served, and after a while, Mingyan led the “dog leftover” who lowered his eyes and held his breath.No nonsense, the only son of a widow in the country, he was born with a nickname, in order to make a living.

There were three little masters sitting in the small room, together with adult farmer’s dog leftovers and the introducer’s tea, it seemed a little awkward.

The long attendants took Mo Yu and the others to stay outside with a wink, but the door was left open, in case the country people uttered some unspeakable country wild things and polluted the ears of the little masters.

Baoyu would never touch on dangerous topics. He asked about crop farming, when to sow and when to harvest, how much grain per acre yields rice noodles, how much is the silver price, whether he has a side job on weekdays, and so on.Jia Lan and Jia Zhu rarely have the opportunity to act as adults and actively participate in asking questions. They will inevitably ask how many people there are in the family, how many acres of land they have, whether there is enough food, and so on.

In the end, the two children generously rewarded them—the nine-chain jigsaw puzzle, which was given to the children of the same age of Gou Sheng’s family.It is said that since Baoyu took his two nephews to study and play, Jia’s mother was so happy that she really gave them a lot of gadgets, which were enough for them to show off.

The fake stone is an elder, and no gadgets are given, but a piece of gold eight treasures made of pure gold, which is finely crafted and heavy in the hand.He Fuquan was terrified and delighted at the same time, no matter how many years he worked in his family, he still couldn’t earn such a large piece of gold!

How can a cheapskate be so generous, you ask?Cha, this is your charming fiancé, we need to establish a good relationship.Furthermore, Jia Minfu’s great achievements have expired, and he has once again become a big vulgar thing that is glowing red and glittering with gold!He was tired of this attire, but why didn’t he dress up according to the taste of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, and the two bosses chattered endlessly.He had to let it go, and his head became a mobile jewelry display case: his hair was divided into strands, braided into dozens of small braids, and finally braided into a big braid on the top of his head, decorated with huge pearls from top to tip, with a girly, The vulgar eight-treasure pendant.Meile Erlong grabs beads and wipes the forehead with gold, and wears a purple gold crown with hair inlaid on the head.Among them, the gold eight treasures are the least valuable, and there is a box of gold eight treasures of different designs and colors in the house that can be used interchangeably, which is not eye-catching.

The meeting ended in a friendly atmosphere.It’s not the meal time, Baoyu will not keep the meal, she enjoyed a few boxes of Rongfu’s exquisite pastries, and ordered Mingyan to accompany her “relatives” and not to come back—the first servant was ordered to warn the bridegroom-to-be to be kind to the charming sister, and to discuss How will we meet in the future? Second Master Bao will take the He family as relatives in private.

The last thing was designed as a code. After all, He Fuquan may also be worthless, so he can only give up regretfully.

Baoyu would send out the secret signal, which was a surprise in the conversation: because He’s family is in Jing County, which is next to the capital, He Fuquan picked the vegetables grown by his family to sell in Kyoto in his free time, so that he could sell a few more vegetables. arts.Even so, after the Xue family came to Beijing, they could try to sell vegetables to the dumb king.

In addition, most of the land in Jing County is good land, which is basically divided up by the clan and kings of the opposite sex.The He family’s field is four acres of thin land in the corner, and they have to rent and plant the Wang’s field in Beijing County in order to support their family.

Baoyu pondered that even if the royal family wanted to destroy the king with a different surname as written in the fan-art, it would not be the tenant farmers.Therefore, He Fuquan can be handed over. In the future, I will secretly buy land in the name of the He family and hand it over to the He family to take care of it. If there are attractive people watching, I will not be ignorant.

Finish busy work and do other things: do the homework assigned by Jia Dairu.It was still a pair, and one of them was still overfulfilled. After pondering stereotyped essays for a while, this thing had to be honed slowly. He decided to come up with his first work in half a year.

Seeing that the time was about the same, the two young ones also finished their homework, and the three of them shared a plate of cheap pastry and headed home.

First take Jia Zhu home in a carriage, and then take Jia Lan to see Jia Zheng—Li Wan hinted that he would support Lan Er, let Xiao BuDian show her face in front of the master a few more times, and bribe a new pair of shoes for it.Fake Stone really wants to say that if you don’t want to bribe the money directly, thinking about the widow’s money, I don’t have the nerve to open my mouth.

When he arrived at the study, Baoyu was surprised to find that there was no Qing guest, only Jia Zheng and his younger brother Jia Huan.

Aunt Zhao is a beautiful person, Jia Zheng is not crooked, Jia Huan can’t be ugly, it’s just that her temperament is hard to see.

What do you think of the temperament of a mere six-year-old boy?Look——two watery eyes are flying all over the place, always seeming to be flirtatious; two little hands are rubbing the front of the clothes, as if ready to take off clothes to serve others at any time; There is no need for retraining in the small hall.

Jia Zheng looked very thoughtful, asked Jia Lan a few words casually, and let him go.

Baoyu bowed his head and stood respectfully. Xiaohuan’s children’s shoes are a famous informer in the Red Chamber, and he takes it as his responsibility to punish his brother, but Lao Tzu’s performance this time can be called a specimen of a gentleman. What can I tell you?

Jia Zheng didn’t bother him to wait for a long time, and asked deeply, “Did you hear any gossip in school?”

There is only one thing in the long-lasting gossip in school!Baoyu was ecstatic, Xiaohuan’s children’s shoes are too cute, I can’t blame my brother, but I should give you a big medal!At the moment, he said solemnly: “I don’t care about gossip. As the saying goes, rumors only stop with wise men. I have ordered the servants and maids in the house not to follow what others say.”

Jia Zheng frowned, and felt that it was too difficult to ask, so he turned to reprimand Jia Huan: “You have never studied, and you are at home, where have you heard so many untrue and dirty words, why don’t you get out!”

Poor Jia Huan is only following the orders of his biological mother.This time, Jia Zheng was excited by the progress of the phoenix egg, and he himself immersed himself in reading in order to show off his talents when teaching Baoyu, so he stayed in the study outside for the night and did not visit Aunt Zhao’s boudoir.Aunt Zhao was in a hurry, and she couldn’t go to the study abroad, so she asked Jia Huan to pay her respects.The backyard door opens and closes at regular intervals in the morning and evening. When it opens, Jia Zheng has already gone to the Ministry of Industry to make an appointment. In the afternoon, the old man drinks tea outside or reads in the study and must not be disturbed. At night, the backyard door is closed!There was no other way, Jia Huan had no choice but to come here on Jia Zheng’s holiday, but he still couldn’t move forward.Jia Huan waited until the sun turned west, rushed into the study in a hurry, and there must be something important to do. Fortunately, Aunt Zhao was prepared and asked him to talk about the Xue family’s affairs, so that the master would ask her for details.

Jia Zheng has always liked to call out clean guests and relatives, what do the whole room say?Xiaohuan’s children’s shoes were embarrassed to say nothing, but fortunately, the Qing guests left one after another with a wink, creating a sinister condition for Baoyu.

As soon as Jia Huan left, the solemn Bao Zijun was left, and Jia Zheng lost interest: “You go down too, so you can study.”

Baoyu thought to himself, tell me to go, how is it possible?Immediately knelt down and said: “Master, I just remembered something, it may be important. Brother Yucun was drunk that day, and he once said that he had a benefactor, surnamed Zhen, named Shiyin. Zhen Weng helped him in many ways when he was poor, so that he could Obtaining fame. Zhen Weng has no children, and his only young daughter was abducted by a kidnapper seven or eight years ago. He has been trying to find the daughter of his benefactor these years. The youngest daughter of the Zhen family is named Yinglian, and there is a little rouge between her eyebrows…”

Jia Zheng’s temples twitched, and he blurted out, “Is Weng Zhen Jiangnan Zhen?”——If it was Jiangnan Zhen, it would be fatal!Although Zhen Yingjia, the biggest official of the Zhen family, and Prince Tengping are both second-rank, and he is not in Jingshu, he is only the president of Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education, but the Zhen family has a daughter who is a concubine, and the Supreme Emperor is still alive!Zhen Yingjia’s eldest daughter is also the third prince’s concubine, and the old lady of the Zhen family is the current nanny.Zhen Yinran in the south of the Yangtze River is “the first family in the south of the Yangtze River”. Even if Zhen Shiyin is just a sidekick of the Zhen family, his surname is Zhen. The daughter of the Zhen family has become a maidservant of the Xue family.

Baoyu lowered her eyes and said: “‘She is a girl from a good family in Gusu’. In the folk song, Yinglian should be married in Gusu, but it is rumored that Cousin Xue met Yinglian on Jinling City Road…”

Jia Zheng thought up: “Although Gusu and Jinling are close to each other, they are still two cities. She will go to Jinling’s relatives’ house to be married.”——It must be related to the Zhen family who lives in Jinling City, otherwise Jia’s family may be angered.

Baoyu said: “What the master said is true. There is no mention of Yinglian’s surname in the ballad. My aunt will definitely not lie to my wife. Yinglian should be a little girl who was really kidnapped by a kidnapper. She will be raised and sold now. Yinglian was too young back then. , I only remember my baby name and hometown, and I shouted it out in public, and that’s how I got that ballad. If so, there’s a lot of room for turning this matter around.”

The author has something to say: Fake Stone: Please look at my innocent little eyes, I have absolutely no sinners!
