14days ago Historical fiction 7
A few days later, the Concubine Nan'an sent the inner priest to see the mother Jia. The mother of Jia hurriedly invited her in. After seeing the tea, the inner priest thanked her and did not dare to sit down. She bowed and stood up and said: The Concubine recognized the third girl in the mansion last time, and was very happy. This time, she sent the young man to take the third girl over there and stay there for a while and talk to the empress to relieve her boredom. Is it convenient for the mansion to be instructed?

Jia Mu hurriedly ordered Yuanyang to look for Tanchun, and said: "Three girls, since the Empress likes you, you can stay for a few days and have a chance to know your master and wife, so you can clean up."

The insult said: Girls don’t have to bring anything. The concubines have already prepared all the items for the girl to use.

Tanchun agreed and went to the wife of Wang

When we arrived at Mrs. Wang's house, Baoyu and Baochai were watching. Tanchun returned to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang smiled and said: This is a good thing. Just go there, don't worry about the family being there, not more than our own family. Etiquette should be the most important thing in everything. Don't make people laugh.

Baochai smiled and said: Madam, the third girl is the best person to be on the table. I guess she won’t lose her etiquette. Just send someone to tell her family and we will pick you up again.

Tanchun agreed one by one, and wanted to go back to Qiushuangzhai to clean up

Baoyu had been sitting for a long time, and heard Mrs. Wang and Baochai talk about only the big and small family affairs in the mansion, and she could no longer sit still, so she said: Third sister, why not go and clean up for you? After that, she went with Tanchun without waiting for others to speak.

After a while, he came to Qiushuangzhai and Tanchun smiled and said: Second brother, you just use the excuse to escape, why bother to follow me?

Baoyu also smiled and said: You were young in the mansion. You never went out one day. Now you have to go out for a few days. How can I feel assured as a brother? Just look at you packing things. If there is something left, I would like to remind you that it is better than using what you have to do but don't have.

Tanchun smiled and said: It's all this sister and that sister on weekdays. You can't care about me again. I remembered that time when Fengjie was sick and she and Li Wan and Baochai were in charge of her. Baoyu stood up for her. Unconsciously, her eyes became hot and she quickly lowered her head to clean up.

After a while, Tanchun took out a half-made fan and said: Second brother, let me give you this. I thought I couldn’t use folding fans in this cold winter, so I kept dragging it without any haste. Now I have only done half of it.

Baoyu smiled and said: It's better to be a third sister. I'm half done with me now, and I don't have to use it in a hurry. Why bother to give it to me? Just wait until it's done.

Tanchun sighed and smiled and said, "That's the same thing. Is it true that I have never left the mansion? Somehow, this time I feel like I am separated from my life and death, as if I will never see my second brother again after I go."

Baoyu smiled and said: Since the third sister is like this, it would be better to go back to the old lady. Just say that she is not happy, so it would be fine if she doesn't go.

Tanchun shook his head and said: Thanks to the love of the Tomorrow Concubine, now he has sent someone to pick him up. Why don’t you go there? Besides, I’m tired of living in this garden, so why don’t I go out for a walk? I just feel reluctant to let a few sisters and...

Baoyu smiled and said: There must be many young ladies and young masters in the Nan'an Palace. Maybe some prince will fall in love with my third sister at that time, and there will be some people who will marry me in a sedan chair...

Tanchun blushed with shame when he heard this, and slapped Baoyu and said: Second brother, why did you make fun of me like this just after you got married? Baoyu stopped smiling and laughed.

Tanchun said again: I am afraid that my second sister-in-law will be in charge in the future. This mess in our house is a mess. Sister Bao is going to be tired. I wonder if she has a way to get over for several years.

Baoyu said: Third sister, our mansion is still in a prosperous place, so where is the place you said so?

Tanchun shook his head and said: Second brother, you don’t care about these things. Naturally, I don’t know that our family has been empty-handed. It should have been restrained, but in the past two years it has become more and more shaking. As the saying goes, wood is so beautiful that it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. What’s more, now our mansion is just a broken ancient tree, which is rotten from the roots. It’s not surprising that it will fall down one day.

Baoyu couldn't help but bow his head and feel sad after saying something

Tanchun then smiled and said: Look, what do I do with you? A long shed is built in a thousand miles, and there is no banquet that never leaves me. After all, I am a daughter's house. Sooner or later... I will leave this house sooner or later, and I will not be considered a member of the Jia family at that time... Second brother... As he said that, he couldn't help but lower his head, and the light in his eyes was flowing.

Baoyu gently hugged Tanchun, smiled and stroked her spine and said: Good sister, I just stayed outside for a few days, why did you say so much? Okay, don’t be sad. If you don’t want to leave this door, don’t marry those bastards outside. Wouldn’t it be nice to just stay with you in the garden until you are old?

Tanchun then came out of Baoyu's arms, wiped his tears and said with a smile: If you have Sister Bao, where will you stay with me? Second brother, you have enough words to have you and have it done, so I went there. Because I called in to wait for the book, I picked up the package, said goodbye to Mrs. Jia and her sisters, and sat in a sedan chair and headed towards the Nan'an Palace.

On that day, Mrs. Wang was chanting scriptures in the house. Yu Chuan'er came in and said: Madam, there was an old lady outside begging to see you and second grandma Lian, saying that she was from the Wang family. Mrs. Wang hurriedly sent it in. The old lady knelt down and kowtowed and said: Second Miss, the master is dead!

Mrs. Wang was shocked and said in a trembling voice: Let’s talk slowly, which master?

The woman cried: Mr. Wang Teng

Sister Feng was lifting the curtain and was stunned when she heard this sentence

After a while, he asked: Old man, would you say it again?

Seeing that it was Sister Feng, the woman turned around and kowtowed and said, "Miss, the master is dead... Wang Xifeng then realized and started crying with Mrs. Wang."

It took a while to ask how he died

The woman returned: The master was tired and caught a cold by chance. When he arrived at Shilitun, he was treated with a doctor but he had no famous doctor in this place. He misused the medicine and died after one dose. For a moment, he cried again in the house.

Baoyu rushed over when he heard this, so he had to comfort Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng.

After crying for a while, Mrs. Wang said: Who should I ask to help with cooking?

Baoyu thought in his mind: Sister Feng has worked so much for me. Now that her father has passed away, she is naturally not good for her to show up in public. It is better for me to help with cooking. It should be better for me to cook, because of this: Madam, why not let me cook.

Mrs. Wang said: What do you know? You just help me out.

Baoyu said: Madam, in the past, all the affairs in our house were handled by Sister Feng. This time, it was outside. Although it was her family's affairs, it was not easy for her to go out. I usually see Sister Feng taking care of her. I know that it is probably my uncle who died this time, so it is my responsibility to do my best to do my best.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Wang nodded and asked to take more servants to silver. Baoyu agreed one by one, and immediately followed Sister Feng to collect silver. Fengjie naturally took care of him again. Baoyu agreed one by one, took a few servants and rode on horses and headed towards Shilitun.

After two or three days of departure, I was given a kind decree to reward Wang Ziteng's cabinet title, posthumously named Wen Qingong, and ordered my sect to carry the coffin back to his hometown, and take care of local officials along the way

Baoyu didn't need to deal with many matters, and it stopped handling them in just a few days. On that day, he got up and bid farewell to the Wang family and Wang Ziteng's coffin and went back south.

Baoyu also took the servants back to Beijing

It should be something, and I was walking to a town. Baoyu didn't see Baochai and other sisters for five or six days after he came out. He missed him very much, and he just wanted to have wings on his ribs and fly back.

Unconsciously, he beat the horse a little anxiously

Suddenly, an old man on the road, Baoyu was already late to stop the horse, so he knocked the old man down on the street

Baoyu hurriedly went up and looked forward. He saw that the old man was dressed in rags, but he was dressed as a Taoist priest, with white hair and a sallow complexion. He fell to the ground and could not get up.

Baoyu hurriedly went to support him and said, "The old Taoist priest, how are you hurt? I'm too anxious to get off the road, so I'm sorry!"

Mingyan also looked at it and said: Second Master, it might be okay to think that this old man can still move and breathe. Just give him some money. Let's continue to rush forward. The old man opened his eyes and looked at Mingyan.

Mingyan said in the second sentence: What? The old man is not convinced? Who told you to occupy the road in the daytime? It was your fortune that you didn’t hit and die. Do you know who is supporting you? It’s the second son of Rongguo Mansion

Baoyu hurriedly shouted: Mingyan, don't be rude! I hit the old man, how could I speak like this? Mingyan then shut up

Baoyu said to the Taoist priest again: Old Taoist priest, the servant is rude, don’t blame him for walking around? I’ll send someone to invite an imperial physician to show you?

The old Taoist stared at Baoyu and after a long time he spoke: Are you the second son of Rongguo Mansion? But the one born with jade?

Baoyu smiled and said: Is it true that the old man has also heard of me?

The old Taoist smiled sadly and said: Forget it, it's unhappy to retribution, it's indeed unhappy to retribution. It turns out that this Taoist was the Taoist priest who had been asked to do something to harm Miaoyu before. The Taoist name was Kongkong. Because Baoyu broke the evil method, the yin and cold retaliation backwards and became possessed by the demon. He left the Zhongshun Palace. He originally planned to retire to the mountains and forests and slowly tease him for care. However, he was too serious and could not walk far away, so he only went to the market.

Because Taoist Kongkong had heard the most yang thing that King Zhongshun said before, he was in the capital, and he had calculated that object had appeared in the world, he deliberately or unintentionally inquired about the strange and strange things that happened eighteen years ago in the capital.

Hard work pays off, and he finally asked him to inquire about the fact that Baoyu was born with jade. Because this incident was very strange at that time, many people in the capital remembered the time when Baoyu fell into the grass.

Taoist Kongkong counted and introduced that Baoyu was the most yang system in the world, that is, the one who ruined his rituals. He thought that the most yang person and the most yin person were already together.

But Baoyu was even more confused when he heard the Taoist priest say only retribution, so he asked: What is the mystery in the Taoist priest's words? I am so dull and unable to understand. I hope to enlighten me.

The Taoist Kongkong smiled bitterly, coughed for a while and said: Young Master, don’t worry, wait for me to say slowly

Baoyu saw that it was getting dark overnight and could not get to the next town. He saw that the Kongkong Taoist was so weak, so he said: This is not where to speak. If the Taoist priest doesn't dislike it, we can move one step to speak? After that, he personally helped the Kongkong Taoist and asked for several rooms in an inn.

When the waiter saw that the people who came in were a family of aristocratic families, they were supporting a ragged Huazi. Not knowing what happened, Baoyu took out a piece of silver and slapped it on the table. The waiter hurriedly took it with a smile.

The house was cleaned up soon, and Baoyu helped the Kongkong Taoist into the house and sat down. The Taoist priest said again: Thank you, the young master, the old Taoist really dare not be the one.

Baoyu said: Taoist priest is too polite. I just bumped into you. I just pretended to be a good match. I would like to ask the imperial physician to show it to the Taoist priest later. I am serious. I still dare not ask the Taoist priest’s magic number.

Kongkong Taoist said: There is no need for a young master. I know that the young master is a kind and righteous person. So I told the young master that the old master called Kongkong. After many years of entering the Taoist Taoist Taoist, he also had some tricks to exorcise ghosts and gods.

Baoyu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: It turned out to be a Taoist Kongkong, he was indifferent to respect.

Kongkong said: Young Master, let me ask you, ninety months ago, did a daughter in your house suffer an inexplicable illness?

Baoyu was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: Master, please forgive me, all the women in our mansion are afraid that there will be no less than two or three hundred, and there will be several illnesses every day. I am afraid I can't remember this.

Kongkong said: If you think about it carefully, the disease came suddenly, the patient must be cold and unconscious. If I was not wrong, I would have repeated it several times, and then it suddenly recovered.

Baoyu thought to himself: This, is this old Taoist talking about Sister Miaoyu? He asked: How did the Taoist Master know?

Kongkong Taoist said: That's right, young master. I heard that you were born with jade in your mouth when you fell into the grass. Can you borrow the treasure from me? Baoyu didn't know why, so he had to pick the jade hanging around his neck and hand it to Kongkong

Kongkong took it and rubbed it in his hand, closed his eyes for a long time before saying: It is indeed it! It is indeed it! While speaking, he returned the spiritual jade to Baoyu, and then said: Young Master, do you know that your destiny is different from others, and it is the most yang and hot?

Baoyu thought to himself: Sister Miaoyu once said this, and also said that she was the system of the most yin and cold. Now the old Taoist said this, is there really such a thing? I don’t know what the scholar’s ​​question means, so he shook his head and said: I don’t understand these things very much.

The Taoist Kong Kong said: I'm going to tell you, your jade is a rare treasure in our Taoist practice. I'm afraid it can be worth decades of Taoism. I'm just because he's confused and wants to help others harm a person. As for whom he is entrusted, the young master doesn't have to ask too much. It's natural to know in the future. Just know that the strange disease of the person beside you is caused by my practice. I cast spells four times, and I broke them all four times, but I got burned by you, which made me go crazy and got into trouble. Haha, young master, I used to try to harm you in the past, but now I've gone all over my body, and I've been hit by you in the street. Isn't it a bad retribution?

After hearing this, Baoyu stood up and said: Taoist priest, isn’t this a joke?

The Taoist Kong Kong coughed a few times and said: Young Master, look at me like this, why should I use these words to joke with you? Forget it, I am already out of my temper. Young Master, I am now in your hands. As long as I kill you, I will cut you into pieces.

Baoyu stared at Taoist Kongkong for a while, and Fang believed him for a while, but sat down and said: Taoist priest, please stop sitting, I will go find the imperial physician for you now.

This time, the Taoist Kong Kong was stunned and said: I wanted to harm you, but now you want to save me?

Baoyu smiled and said: Taoist priest, you all said that you were blinded by the desire for profit. Besides, you didn’t know each other at that time, and you didn’t succeed, but instead hurt yourself. Moreover, if it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the chance to be with that person yet. In this way, I should thank you.

Taoist Kongkong had been sighing for a long time: The young master is so confident that he will turn bad luck into good fortune in the future. Baoyu wanted to get up and hire an imperial physician. Taoist Kongkong said: "Young Master, please save me, let me save my disease, the root cause of the cold poison is entering the marrow. How can ordinary imperial physicians cure it?

Baoyu said: What should we do?

Kongkong Taoist said: If the young master is really pitiful, please borrow the precious jade.

Baoyu hurriedly picked up the spiritual jade and handed it to Kongkong.

Kongkong took it and held it in his hand and said: Thank you, Master, the old Taoist wants to use the most yang thing to regulate his breath for a night. I hope that Hai Han can do it for convenience. It is my good fortune.

Baoyu said: In this way, I won’t bother the Taoist priest. I just slept in the next room. If the Taoist priest had any instructions, just say it. After that, he got up and went

Taoist Kongkong said again: Young Master, I will give you a few more words: Blessings are born from your daughter, and disasters are born from your daughter; the glory has been enjoyed, and the children are separated and will not thank them for their great kindness. If you use it in the future, you will never refuse to die.

There was nothing to say all night. On the second day, Baoyu got up, but found that the spiritual jade was placed right on the head of the bed. He hurriedly got up to see the Taoist Kong Kong, but he had already left the house.

I went to ask the waiter again, but I wouldn't see him.

Baoyu was amazed in his heart, and there were still many questions but nowhere to answer them. He had to pack up and ride his horse and then rushed to Kyoto.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion, he and Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng returned to the understanding of all the events of Wang Zi Teng's mourning. Mrs. Wang was both sad and happy. What was sad was that the elder brother died early. There was only an incompetent nephew Wang Ren, and the Wang family had no support.

I am happy that Baoyu can now have the same side as he is, and he has a little bit of his behavior and speaking.

Baochai naturally came to meet him when she heard that Baoyu was coming home. Baoyu comforted her. Mrs. Wang stopped crying and said: My son, thank you for your hard work. After a few days of travel, I will go back and take a break. Baomei, you can go with Baoyu, I don’t need you to serve you here. Baoyu promised to go back to his room with Baochai.

Ying'er saw the two of them entering the house and hurriedly served Baoyu to change his clothes.

Baoyuyin asked: Why didn’t Xiren be seen?

Baochai said: Her brother and sister-in-law had a big fat son the day before yesterday. I thought that you were not outside, so I asked Xiren to take care of him there.

Baoyu smiled and said: Oh? Brother Hua has a son? This is a happy event. I will take off my coat and hug Baochai on his waist and kiss him: Good Baoer, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you have missed me. Have you ever missed me?

Baochai said shyly: Second Master, you... give me more respect in the daytime... It makes people laugh at it

Baoyu still scented Baochai's face and smiled: There is only one Ying'er, how can we laugh at us? But isn't it, Sister Ying'er? After saying that, he smiled and looked at Ying'er.

Seeing Ying'er only blushed with shame on her face, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Baoyu said again: Good Baoer, I have been traveling for a day and my body is covered with dust. Why not take a shower with me again

Baochai was even more embarrassed when she remembered the scene of bathing with Baoyu that day, and said in a low voice: What kind of bath should I take in the sun? Let’s wait for the dark side, and Xiren is not here, so I’m alone... I can’t do it.

Baoyu smiled and said: Why did Baoer say this again this time? Didn’t we wash it well last time?

Baochai hurriedly said: Don’t talk about Ying'er, go and get a basin of water, just wipe your second master’s face first. Ying'er was also embarrassed, and after hearing this, she hurriedly took the basin out.

After a while, I fed water in, but I saw that Baochai was already being held on her legs by Baoyu, and her clothes were a little messy.

When Baochai saw Ying'er coming in, she quickly blushed and got up, took the towel, and helped Baoyu wipe her face.

Baoyu asked: I am not here for a few days, what's wrong with my family?

Baochai replied: Those chores, my wife means that after a few days, I will learn to manage housework with Sister Feng.

Baoyu said: It’s precisely this principle. My Baoer is the most appropriate one. It’s just that you have to work hard.

Baochai said: I haven't done it before, how can you know it's right? The wife said it, and I can't say no, so I can only follow Feng Jie to learn little by little. There are not many people in our house who are easy to mess with. I'm afraid that by then, I'll be like Feng Jie.

Baoyu said: Zifengjie was sick at that time. Isn’t it because my sister-in-law, you and your third sister were in charge of family affairs?

Baochai said: What's that? I'm just a careless person. My sister-in-law is a Bodhisattva and doesn't care about everything. Whatever people say is she is a destiny girl. But it's a pity that she gave birth to a daughter. Otherwise, she would definitely be stronger than you. As she said that, Baoyu glanced at him and patted him on his restless hand, she said: You can't speak well, and you're chaotic, but the girl came here and didn't want to manage it anyway.

Baoyu, however, became even more serious and only put his hand into Baochai's neckline, gently kneaded the fleshy breasts and said: But, I heard about it, but for some reason

Baochai said: You also know that our mansion is just a big air now, but there are fewer in and out. Because I was in charge of the matter at that time, I took the accounts of the past few years and turned over. It was actually a deficit, especially this garden, which only cost money, and there was no point in the entry of the three girls. They were also kind-hearted. They just wanted to follow Shang Yang and Anshi to reform, promote profits and eliminate disadvantages. From the garden, they hoped that it would be possible to reverse the situation, so they set many new rules, hoping to reduce the expenses of some officials and give their family some benefits. But they were too impatient, and some places were a little harsh. They were complained by the servants and made her feel cold. After that, they sighed.

Baoyu said: Good Baoer, don’t be disappointed. While adding a little more force on his hand, he only sank his five fingers into the soft meat, and smiled and said: Baoer, your flesh is so soft and plump, I’m afraid it won’t be cold easily. Besides, let’s take a step back and say, don’t be afraid of it if it’s cold. Just let me warm you up.

Although it was just a joke, Baochai knew that Baoyu's words were not meaningful. No matter what happened, as long as he was there, he would not let himself be beaten alone.

I couldn't help but feel aroused in my heart. My face, which was already a little hot with Baoyu, turned to Baoyu, closed my eyes gently, and gently pouted a red mouth.

Baoyu has been close to women for several days, and the beauty has endured her hard work in her arms. Seeing that Baochai was so active, she was not polite, so she lowered her head and kissed her.

As the saying goes, a small separation is better than a newlywed, let alone this couple who have been separated for many days after they have just gotten married?

After a while, the two of them had their plain clothes and were wrapped around one place

Baoyu threw Baochai naked on the bed and smiled: Bao'er, why isn't this shy like before? But do you miss me? As he said that, he reached between Baochai's legs, and it was indeed wet and exuded a faint fragrance of hibiscus.

If you want to know the next thing, the next time you will break it down
