Dream of the Red Mansion

It is said that Qinye and his son are waiting for people from Jia's family to send a letter of choosing a day for school.It turned out that Baoyu was eager to meet Qin Zhong, but he didn't care about anything else, so he decided to go to school the next day. "Please invite Qin Xianggong to come to me in the morning of the next day. When we are all together, let's go together." - sent someone to deliver the letter.

Early in the morning, when Baoyu got up, Xiren had already wrapped up the books, pens and cultural relics, and he stopped and sat on the edge of the bed feeling bored.

Seeing Baoyu wake up, I had to wait on him to wash up.Seeing that he was bored, Baoyu asked with a smile, "My dear sister, why are you uncomfortable again? Don't you blame me for throwing it away at school? Are you deserted?" Xiren laughed and said, "That's the way there. Reading is very good. If you don’t, you will be poor for the rest of your life. What will happen in the end? But only one thing: just think about books when you are studying, and think about home when you are not studying. Don’t be naughty with them. It is not stubborn to meet the master. Although If you want to be strong, you would rather have less work and lessons. One is to eat more than you can chew, and the other is to take care of your body. This is what I mean, you have to be considerate." Xiren said something, and Baoyu responded.Xiren said again: "I also wrapped the big woolen clothes, and handed them over to the boys. It's cold in school, so I want to change them anyway, it's better than having someone to take care of them at home. I also handed over the charcoal for the foot stove and hand stove. Watch them add. If you don’t tell me about that slacker, they’ll be too happy to freeze you.” Baoyu said, “Don’t worry, I’ll mediate when I go out. Don’t suffocate to death in this room either. It would be better if Chang and Sister Lin go laughing together." Then, he was all dressed, and the attacker urged him to see Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and so on.Baoyu went to ask Qingwen Sheyue to wait a few words before coming out to see Jia Mu.Mother Jia also had a few words of advice.Then he went to see Mrs. Wang, and went out to see Jia Zheng in the study.Unexpectedly, Jia Zheng came home early this day, and was chatting with Mr. Qing and other guests in his study.Seeing Baoyu come in to say hello and say go to school suddenly, Jia Zheng sneered and said, "If you mention the word "go to school" again, I would be ashamed to death. According to me, it is reasonable for you to insist on going. Be careful. My place is dirty by standing, and my door is dirty by leaning on!" All the gentlemen of the Qing Dynasty got up early and laughed: "Why is this old man like this? Once the elder brother leaves today, he will become famous in three or two years. It's definitely not the same as the children in the past. It's also time for dinner, and the brother is going to invite you." Then two old people took Baoyu out.

Jia Zhengyin asked, "Who is with Baoyu?" He only heard two promises from outside, and three or four big men came in early to greet Qian'er.When Jia Zheng saw it, he recognized Li Gui, the son of Baoyu's nurse.Yin said to him: "You guys go to school with him all day long, what kind of books did he study! Instead, he read some gossip in his stomach and learned some delicate mischief. When I have a free time, I will expose you first." Let’s settle accounts with the one who doesn’t make progress!” Li Gui hurriedly knelt down on his knees, took off his hat, met each other loudly, agreed repeatedly “yes”, and said again: “Brother has read the third book. ;lt;The Book of Songs gt;gt;, what. Yoyo Luming, Lotus Leaf Duckweed', the little ones dare not lie." The whole audience burst into laughter.Jia Zheng couldn't help laughing either.Yin said: "Even if you read another thirty volumes of the Book of Songs, it's just deceiving and deceiving people. Go ask Mr. Li's Ann, and just say I said: what lt ;lt;The Book of Songs gt;gt; ancient prose, there is no need to answer the story, but the lt;lt;Four Books gt;gt; is the most important thing to memorize the lt;lt;Four Books gt;gt; first." Li Gui hurriedly agreed "Yes", seeing Jia Zheng without If so, Fang quits.

At this time, Baoyu stood alone outside the courtyard and waited quietly with a screen. When they came out, he hurried away.Li Gui waited as he brushed off his clothes, and said, "Did you hear me? But first we have to expose our skin! The servants and the master earn a lot of money, and we servants are beaten and scolded for nothing. From then on It's a pity to see some." Baoyu laughed and said, "My good brother, don't be wronged, I will invite you tomorrow." Li Gui said: "Little ancestor, who dares to ask you to invite me, just ask for a sentence or a half." Then, he went to Jiamu's side again. Qin Zhong had come to wait, and Jiamu was talking to him.So the two met and resigned Jia Mu.Baoyu suddenly remembered that he had not said goodbye to Daiyu, because he was too busy to come to Daiyu's room to say goodbye.At that time, Daiyu was just adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror under the window. When Baoyu said she was going to school, she said with a smile, "Okay, this time I must go. I have gone to the Toad Palace to win the laurel. I can't see you off." Baoyu Said: "My dear sister, I will eat after I finish school. And I will make the rouge paste too." After talking for a long time, Fang withdrew.Daiyu hurriedly stopped and asked, "Why don't you say goodbye to your sister Bao?" Baoyu smiled without answering, and went straight to school with Qin Zhong.It turns out that the righteous school of the Jia family is not very far from here, but only one mile away. It was originally established by the ancestors. Those who feared that the children of the family were poor and could not hire teachers would enter this school to study.Those who have official titles in all clans will provide silver taels, and help according to the amount of salary, which is the cost of learning.A total of young and virtuous people are selected as the palm of the school, specially for the training of the children.Now that Baoqin and Baoqin are here, they have met each other one by one and started reading.From then on, the two of them came and went together, sat and stood together, and became more intimate.Also cherished by Jia's mother, Qin Zhong often stayed behind for three or five days, loving him as much as his great-grandson.Seeing that Qin Zhong was not very rich, he even helped him with some clothes and shoes.After less than a month's work, Qin Zhong was already familiar in Rongfu.Baoyu is a person who is restless in his duties, and blindly does whatever he wants, so he developed a habit again, and said to Qin Zhongqian: "We are the same age, and we are classmates. From now on, we don't need to talk about uncles and nephews, but brothers." Just friends." First, Qin Zhong refused, because Baoyu would not rely on him, and only called him "brother", or his cousin "Jingqing", Qin Zhong could only yell in confusion.

It turns out that although all the people in this school are the children of the same clan and some relatives, there is a good saying: "One dragon gives birth to nine kinds, each of which is different." If there are too many people, there will be a mixture of dragons and snakes, including low-level people.Zibao and Qin came, both of them looked like flowers, and Qin Zhong was shy and gentle, his face flushed before he spoke, timid and shy, like a daughter, and Baoyu was born to be used to acting Small clothes, low self-esteem, considerate temperament, and lingering words, so the two of them are more intimate, and I can't blame that classmate who became suspicious, talking behind my back, criticizing and slandering rumors, all over the inside and outside of the study. .It turned out that after Xue Pan came to live with Mrs. Wang, he knew that there was a school, and there were many young students in the school, which inevitably aroused the prosperity of Longyang, so he also came to school on holiday, but it was only three days of fishing and two days of sunbathing. Net, to send some free gifts to Jia Dairu, but never made some gains, just trying to make some brothers.Who would have thought that there are quite a few elementary school students in this school who took Xue Pan's money for food and clothing, and those who were coaxed by him don't need to remember too much.There are also two amorous elementary school students. They don't know which relatives they are from, and their real names have not been tested. Because of their charming and romantic nature, they have been given two nicknames throughout the school, one is "Xiang Lian" and the other is No. "Jade Love".Although they all have the intention of admiring Xue Pan, it will not be conducive to the heart of a child, but they are all afraid of Xue Pan's power and influence, and dare not mess with him.Now when Bao and Qin came and saw him, they couldn't help being envious, and because they knew Xue Pan knew each other, they didn't dare to act rashly.In the hearts of Xiang and Yu, there is also general mercy and treasure, Qin.Therefore, although the four people have affection in their hearts, they have not made a fortune.Every day at school, I sit around, but keep my eight eyes closed, or express my intentions, or chant mulberry and willows, taking care of my heart from a distance, but outwardly avoiding people's eyes.Unexpectedly, a few more thieves saw the situation, winked behind their backs, or coughed and raised their voices, and this did not last for a day.Coincidentally, Dai Confucianism has something to do today, and he has already gone home, leaving only a seven-character couplet, telling the students that if they are right, they will come back to write a letter tomorrow, and order Jia Rui to take care of the things in the middle of the study.The wonderful thing is that Xue Pan doesn't come to school very often now, so Qin Zhong winks at Xiang Lian and passes secret signals. The two of them pretend to be Xiao Gong, and go to the backyard to talk to each other.Qin Zhong asked him first: "Do the adults in the family care about your making friends?" Before he could say a word, he heard a cough from behind.When the two hurriedly looked back, it turned out that it was a window friend named Jin Rong.Xiang Lian was a little impatient, agitated by shame and anger, and asked him, "What are you coughing for? Can't we both be allowed to talk?" Jin Rong laughed and said, "I can't be allowed to cough if you are allowed to talk? I just ask you: Yes I don't know what to say, what are you guys doing with such a sneaky story? I've caught it too, so what's the point! Let me get my head around first, and let's keep silent, or everyone will get up." Qin, Xiang Er With an anxious face flushed, he asked, "What did you hold?" Jin Rong smiled and said, "It's true that I have caught it now." Then, he clapped his hands and laughed, and shouted: "It's a good sesame seed cake. Don't you buy one and eat?" Qin Zhongxiang and Lian were angry and anxious, and rushed in to report to Jia Rui that Jin Rong had bullied the two of them for no reason.It turns out that Jia Rui is the most self-seeking person who wants to be cheap and has no restraint. Every time in school, he uses public announcements to blackmail his children to invite him, and then he helps Xue Pan with some money, wine and meat. Once Xue Pan was domineering, he not only ignored the contract Anti-assist the tyrant to please his son.Pianna Xue Pan is a duckweed at heart, loves east today, loves west tomorrow, and recently has a new friend, and puts Xiang and Yu aside again.

Even Jin Rong was a good friend back then, and when they had incense, the two of them abandoned Jin Rong.Recently, even incense and jade have been abandoned.Therefore, Jia Rui also has no one to support and support him, not to mention that Xue Pan got the new and abandoned the old, but only complained about Xiang, and Yu and Yu did not support Xue Pan in front of him, so Jia Rui, Jinrong and others were also jealous of the two of them. .Seeing Qin Zhong and Xiang coming to sue Jin Rong now, Jia Rui felt even more uncomfortable. Although he didn't want to scold Qin Zhong, he used Xiang Lian's method and said that he was troublesome, which really robbed him of a few words.Xiang Lian complained that it was boring, even Qin Zhong returned to his seat embarrassingly.Jin Rong became more and more complacent, shaking his head and smacking his lips, and chattered a lot of gossip, but Yu Ai didn't feel annoyed when he heard it again, and the two of them chatted away from each other.Jin Rong only insisted: "I just saw the two of them kissing and touching their buttocks in the backyard, one-on-one sex, sticking out the roots and picking the length, whoever grows first will do it first." Jin Rong only talked complacently, but did not care. In case there are others.Unexpectedly, another one was offended.Do you know who this is?It turned out that this one was named Jia Qiang, and she was also a decent great-great-grandson of the Ning family. Her parents died early, and she lived with Jia Zhen since she was a child. Now she is 16 years older and more handsome than Jia Rongsheng.The two brothers are the closest to each other and often get along with each other.There are many people in the Ning Mansion, and those servants who are unwilling to do so are able to make rumors and slander their masters, so I don't know if there are any villains who criticize rumors.Jia Zhen thought that the rumors were not very good, and she wanted to avoid some suspicions. Now that she has distributed the house, she ordered Jia Qiang to move out of Ningfu and set up her own family to live.This Jia Qiang is both beautiful in appearance and smart in innards. Although she came to school by name, she was just hiding her eyes.Still playing cockfights and running dogs, enjoying flowers and playing willows.Jia Zhen dotes on the boss and Jia Rong helps him, so no one in the clan dares to oppose him.Since he and Jia Rong are the best, how can he agree to someone bullying Qin Zhong now?Now that I want to stand up to avenge my injustice, I thought about it in my heart and thought: "Jinrong Jiarui and others are all friends of Uncle Xue. In the past, I was on good terms with Uncle Xue. If I came out, they would tell the old man. Xue, don’t we hurt our peace? Let’s ignore it, such rumors are boring to everyone. Now why don’t you use tricks to subdue them, and stop talking, and you won’t hurt your face.” After thinking about it, he also pretended to be Xiao Gong, went outside, Quietly call Baoyu's book boy named Mingyan to his side, and call him a few words in this way.

Baoyu was the first to use this tea, and he was young and ignorant of worldly affairs. Now, Jia Qiang said that Jin Rong bullied Qin Zhong so much that even his grandfather Baoyu was involved, so he won't give him any benefit. Next time It became more and more uncontrollable.This Mingyan wanted to bully people for no reason. Now that he got this letter and Jia Qiang's help, he went in to find Jin Rong, and he was no longer called Mr. Jin. He just said, "Your surname is Jin, what are you!" Qiang stomped on her boots, straightened her clothes on purpose, looked at Ri Ying'er and said, "It's time." Then she first told Jia Rui that she had to go one step earlier if she had something to do.

Jia Rui didn't dare to force him, so he had to let him go.Here, Mingyan grabbed Jin Rong first, and asked: "We're yummy butts, we don't care about your фx, anyway, we're not going to fuck your father! You're a good boy, come out and touch your uncle Ming!" The children in the house were all staring blankly.Jia Rui hurriedly yelled: "You can't play wild with tea!" Jin Rong turned pale with anger, and said, "It's the wrong way! Even a slave boy dares to do this, I only tell your master." He grabbed Baoyu and Qin Zhong with his hands.Before he left, there was a swish sound from the back of his head, and he saw an inkstone tile flying towards him, but he didn't know who it was. Fortunately, he didn't hit it, but he hit someone else's seat. .

This Jia Zhu is also the great-grandson of the Jin faction of the Rongguo Mansion, and his mother is also a widow, guarding Jia Zhu alone.Jia Zhu and Jia Lan are the best, so they sit at the same table.Unexpectedly, although Jia Jun is young, he has the greatest ambition, is extremely mischievous and is not afraid of others.Sitting there, he saw with cold eyes Jin Rong's friend secretly helping Jin Rong, flying the inkstone to make tea, but he didn't have the tea, so it landed on his table, hitting him right in front of him, smashing a porcelain inkstone kettle, Splashed a book of black water.How did Jia Jun get it, so he scolded: "Good prisoner, didn't you start your hands!" Cursing, he grabbed the inkstone and wanted to beat it back.Jia Lan was an easy man, so he hurriedly held down the inkstone, and tried to persuade him: "My good brother, it has nothing to do with us." How could Jia Zhu bear it, so he picked up the bookcase with both hands, and swung it over there.In the end, he was small and weak, but he couldn't swing it there. He fell off as soon as he reached Baoyu Qinzhong's table.There was only a bang and bang, and it was smashed on the table. Books, papers, pens and inkstones were scattered all over the table, and Baoyu's bowl of tea was also smashed into pieces.Jia Jun jumped out and wanted to grab the flying inkstone.At this time, Jin Rong casually grabbed a large moso bamboo board in his hand, the place is narrow and crowded, and the long board can withstand dancing there.Mingyan had eaten early and yelled, "You don't come to do it yet!" Baoyu also had three servants: one hoe medicine, one sweep red, and one Mo Yu.These three are not mischievous, they yelled in unison: "Little woman's son! The weapon has been activated!" Then Mo Yu raised a door latch, sweeping the red hoe with horsewhips in his hands, and swarmed up.Jia Rui hurriedly stopped this one, persuaded that one, whoever listened to him would make a big fuss.Among the urchins, some took advantage of the situation to help with Taiping boxing for fun, some were timid and hid aside, some stood upright on the table, clapped their hands, laughed wildly, and shouted for beating.Suddenly time boiled up.

Li Gui and other big servants outside heard the rebellion inside, so they hurried in and drank together.When asked why, there were different voices, one said so, and the other said the same.Li Guiqie scolded Mingyan four times and kicked him out.Qin Zhong's head hit Jin Rong's board early on, and a layer of oily skin was formed. Baoyu was rubbing the lapel of his coat for him. I'll go back to my grandfather! We were bullied, and we dared not say anything else. Shouli came to tell Uncle Rui, but Uncle Rui sent us, and listened to people scolding us, and even instigated them to beat us. Zhong's head is also broken. What are you still studying here! Mingyan is also because someone bullied me. It's better to break up." Li Gui persuaded: "Brother, don't be impatient. Since the grandfather has something to go home, this time It's obvious that we don't make sense of it. In my opinion, it's better to settle the matter there, so why bother him. It's all Uncle Rui's fault. Uncle Rui is not here, you old man It is the mind in this school, and everyone watches you act.

Everyone has it right, what should be beaten, what should be punished, how can we wait until the trouble has reached this stage and ignore it? "Jia Rui said." I yelled but didn't listen. "Li Gui said with a smile." I'm not afraid that you old man will annoy me, you're a little unruly on weekdays, that's why these brothers don't listen.Just go to the grandfather to make trouble, even your old man can't get rid of it.Hurry up and make up your mind to tear it apart. "Baoyu said." What are you tearing up?

I must be going back! "Qin Zhong cried." With Jin Rong, I don't study here. "Baoyu said." Why is that?Could it be that someone came, we can't come?I will understand everyone and drive Jin Rong away. "Ask Li Gui again." Which family is Jin Rong a relative? "Li Gui thought about it for a while." There was no need to ask.If you ask about the relatives in that room, it will hurt the friendship of the brothers even more. "

Ming Yan said outside the window: "He's Grandma Huang's nephew in the East Hutong. That's some kind of tough guy, and he's here to scare us.

Grandma Huang is his girl.That aunt of yours can only spin a mill, so she knelt down and borrowed money from our Second Mistress Lian.I just look down on his grandma, the master! "Li Gui stopped drinking in a hurry and said." But you little dog knows that there are these maggots chewing! "Baoyu sneered." I only thought it was someone's relative, but it turned out to be Sister Huang's nephew, so I'll go ask him! "I'm going to leave after talking. Ask Mingyan to come in and wrap the book. Mingyan wrapped the book and said proudly." The master doesn't have to go to see him by himself. When I get to his house, I will tell him that the old lady has something to say and ask him. Wouldn't it be easy to pull in the next car and ask him in front of the old lady. "Li Gui hurriedly shouted." You are going to die!Go back carefully and I'll beat you first, and then go back to Mrs. and Mrs., saying that Baoyu was all instigated by you.I'm halfway through persuasion with great difficulty here, and you come up with a new method.You are making trouble in the school, not to mention that the reform has suppressed the interest, but you are going to make trouble in the big city! "Mingyan Fang dared not make a sound.

At this time, Jia Rui was also afraid of causing trouble, and he was not clean, so he reluctantly came to sue Qin Zhong and Baoyu.First, the two of them refused.Later Baoyu said: "It's fine if you don't go back, just ask Jin Rong to pay for it." Jin Rong refused at first, but then Jia Rui couldn't help but force him to pay for it. You started it, but if you don’t, how could it end?” Jin Rong couldn’t help it, so he bowed to Qin Zhong.Baoyu still refuses to obey, but is determined to kowtow.Jia Rui only wanted to suspend this matter, and quietly persuaded Jin Rong, saying: "As the saying goes: you can't kill without nodding your head.' Since you have caused trouble, you must take a little breath, just kowtow and you're done." Jin Rong Rong had no choice but to come in and kowtow to Qin Zhong.Let's listen to the next chapter.
