But Mrs. Wang called his mother to come up and rewarded some hairpin rings face to face, and ordered several monks to recite sutras for salvation.His mother kowtowed in thanks and went out. It turned out that Baoyu heard about it when he came back from Yucun, and he knew that Jin Chuan'er committed suicide in shame and anger.Seeing Baochai coming in, Fang De came out, at a loss, not knowing where to go, with his hands behind his back, bowing his head and sighing, walking slowly, and strolled to the hall.Just after turning around the screen door, there was a person walking in who didn't want to come across, but Qiaoer bumped into him.He just heard the man drink and stop!Baoyu was taken aback, and when he looked up, it was not someone else but his father. He gasped unconsciously, and had to stand aside with his hands down.Jia Zheng said: "It's all right, what are you talking about?"Just now Yucun came to see you, and it took you a long time to come out; when you came out, there was no generosity in talking, and you were still luxuriant.I see a cloud of thought and depression on your face, and now you cough and sigh again.You are not enough, still not comfortable?For no reason, but why?Although Baoyu used to be quick-spoken, but at this time he was always sentimental for Jin Chuan'er, and wished that he would die at this time and go with Jin Chuan'er.Seeing his father say these words now, after all, he never heard them, but just stood there in a daze.

Jia Zheng saw that he was terrified, and his response was not the same as in the past. He was originally lifeless, but now he became a little angry.Fang wanted to speak, but suddenly something happened: someone came from Prince Zhongshun's residence and wanted to see the master.When Jia Zheng heard this, he was puzzled and thought to himself, "I don't have any contact with Zhongshun Mansion on weekdays, so why did you send someone here today?"Thinking about it, ordering to please, when he hurried out to see, it was the Chief Historian of Zhongshun Mansion, who hurriedly took him into the hall and sat down to offer tea.Before we could talk about it, the long historian first said: "The official came here not to build the Tanfu, but because he was ordered by the king. I have one thing to ask for."From the face of the prince, if he dares to bother the old man to make decisions, not only the prince knows about it, but even the lower officials are grateful.When Jia Zheng heard this, he couldn't catch his head, so he got up with a smile and asked, "Since my lord came here by the king's order, I don't know what to say. I hope my lord will make it clear, so that students can follow the order."The chief historian sneered and said: "There's no need to undertake it, just a word from your lord and it's over."There is a Qi official in our mansion who is a small Dan. He has always been in the mansion well, but now he hasn't gone back for three to five days. He looks everywhere, but he can't find his way, so he visits everywhere.Eight out of ten people in this city say that he has gotten along very well with the son who holds the jade recently.The lower officials have heard that the Zunfu is no better than other homes, and they can ask for it without permission, so enlighten the prince.Wang Ye also said: If there are other actors, there can be a hundred; but this official responds randomly, cautious and honest, which is very suitable for my old man's heart, and he is definitely indispensable.Therefore, I beg the old man to pass on to your son, please release the Qi official, one can comfort the prince's earnestness, and the other can save the lower officials from the pain of looking for it.After finishing speaking, I bowed hurriedly.

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was shocked and angry, and ordered Baoyu to come.Baoyu didn't know why, but when he hurried over, Jia Zheng asked, "Damn slave!"It's fine if you don't study at home, why do these lawless things again!That official Qi is now the servant of the loyal and obedient prince, you are so worthless, you lured him out for no reason, and now it is a disaster for me.Baoyu was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly replied, "I really don't know about it."After all, I don't know what the word Lian Qiguan is, so how can it be even more teasing!Then wept.Before Jia Zheng could speak, the chief historian sneered and said, "My lord, you don't have to hide it."If we hide at home, or know his whereabouts, if we tell it earlier, we will suffer less hardships, don't we think of the virtue of a son?Baoyu didn't even say that he didn't know, maybe it was a rumor, but he didn't know it.The chief historian sneered and said: Why bother to rely on the existing evidence?If you must say it in front of the boss, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?Since I don't know this person, how did the red sweat scarf get into the young master's waist?After Baoyu heard this, he was stunned and thought to himself: how did he know this!Since he knew even such a confidential matter, probably there is nothing else to hide from him, so it is better to send him away, so as not to tell other things.Yin said: "Since your lord knows his details, how can you not even know such a big event as his buying a house?"It is said that he now has a red sandalwood castle twenty miles away from the city in the eastern suburbs, where he has set up a few acres of land and a few houses.I don't know where it is.After hearing this, the chief historian smiled and said, "In this way, it must be there."I'll look for it once, if I have it, I'll let it go, if I don't, I'll come to ask for advice.With that said, he left in a hurry.

At this time, Jia Zheng was so angry that his mouth was crooked. While seeing off the chief historian, he turned around and ordered Baoyu not to move!I have something to ask you when I come back!I have been sending the official there.Just turned around, and suddenly saw Jia Huan running around with a few servants.Jia Zheng ordered the boy to fight fast, fight fast!When Jia Huan saw his father, his bones were weak and his tendons were weak, so he hurriedly lowered his head and stopped.Jia Zheng asked, "Why are you running?"The people who brought you don't care about you, they don't know where to go, you are like a wild horse!He ordered the people who followed the school to come.Seeing that his father was furious, Jia Huan took the opportunity to say, "I didn't run away just now, but because I passed by that well, a girl was drowned in that well. I saw a man with such a big head and such a thick body. It was terrible to be soaked. That's why I rushed over.Jia Zheng was surprised and asked, "It's all right, who is going to jump into the well?"There has never been such a thing in my family. Since my ancestors, I have always treated my servants with mercy.Probably, I have been lazy in housework in recent years, and naturally the deacon took the power to seize it, which led to the scourge of being violent and committing suicide.If outsiders know, what is the face of the ancestors!Call Jia Lian, Lai Da and Lai Xing quickly.The boys agreed, and Fang wanted to call, but Jia Huan hurried forward and grabbed Jia Zheng's robe, knelt down on his knees and said, "Father, don't be angry."Except for the people in the wife's room, no one else knows about it.I heard my mother say this, so I turned around and looked around.Knowing this, Jia Zheng took a look at the young servants, who understood, and retreated to both sides.Jia Huan said quietly: "My mother told me that Brother Baoyu was in his wife's room the day before yesterday, and he failed to rape Jin Chuan'er, his wife's girl, and beat him up."Then Jin Chuan'er threw himself into the well and died in a fit of anger.Before he finished speaking, he drank Jia Zheng's angry face like gold paper, and brought Baoyu quickly!On the one hand, he went to the study inside and ordered that if someone persuaded me today, I would hand over the crown and furniture to him and Baoyu!I can't avoid being a sinner, shave off these troublesome mane hairs, and find a clean place for myself, and also avoid the crime of humiliating my ancestors and giving birth to a rebellious son.When all the guests and servants saw Jia Zheng's appearance, they knew it was Baoyu again, and all of them bit their fingers and tongues, and hurriedly withdrew.Panting, Jia Zheng sat upright on the chair, with tears all over his face, and took the precious jade in a stack of voices!Take a big stick!Tie it up with rope!Shut all the doors!Someone sends a letter to go inside, kill him immediately!All the boys had to agree in unison, and some of them came to Baoyu.

When Baoyu heard Jia Zheng's order that he should not move, he knew what would be bad and good would happen. Chengwang Jia Huan added a lot of words there.I was walking around in the hall, how could I go to the inside alone to deliver messages, but there was no one, and I didn't even know where Baoming was.When I was looking forward to it, I saw an old sister come out.If Baoyu got the treasure, he rushed to pull him and said, "Go in quickly and tell: Master is going to beat me!"go, go!It's important, it's important!Baoyu, on the one hand, was in a hurry and couldn't understand what he said; on the other hand, the old woman was born and deaf, so she never heard what was said, so she only heard the word "important" as the word "jumping well", and said with a smile: "jump into the well and let him jump in. What is Erye afraid of?" ?Seeing that he was deaf, Baoyu said anxiously, "Go out and call my boy."The old woman said, "What's the matter?"It's over early.The wife rewarded the clothes and money again, so it's all right!

Baoyu stomped anxiously, but just as he was missing a place, he saw Jia Zheng's young man coming and forcing him to go out.When Jia Zheng saw it, his eyes were red and purple, and he didn't have time to ask him about wandering around as an actor, giving away private things, neglecting his studies at home, and insulting his mother and maidservants, etc. He just ordered him to shut his mouth and beat him to death!The boys didn't dare to disobey, so they had to press Baoyu on the stool, raised the big board and beat it ten or so times.Jia Zheng thought the blow was too light, kicked the palm away, snatched it by himself, gritted his teeth and slammed it thirty or forty times.Seeing that the beating was ominous, all the disciples rushed forward to persuade them.Jia Zheng was willing to listen, and said, "Ask him what he did, you can't forgive him!"Usually it was you people who spoiled him, and you still come to persuade him at this stage.If tomorrow he kills the king and father, you will not persuade him!

It was not pleasant for everyone to hear this, and they knew that they were in a hurry, so they withdrew again in a hurry, so they had to find someone to go in and write the letter.Mrs. Wang didn't dare to go back to Jia Mu first, so she had to get dressed and come out, ignoring whether there were people or no one, and hurried to the study, and the panicked guests and servants couldn't avoid it.As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the room, Jia Zheng seemed to add fuel to the fire, and the board went down harder and faster.Baoyu's two servants hurriedly let go of their hands and walked away. Baoyu had already been unable to move.When Jia Zheng wanted to fight, Mrs. Wang had already hugged the board.Jia Zheng said, "That's all, that's all!"You must be mad at me today!Mrs. Wang cried, "Although Baoyu should be beaten, the master should respect himself."What's more, the old lady is not very well in the hot summer. It is a small matter to kill Baoyu, but if the old lady feels uncomfortable for a while, it is not a big deal!Jia Zheng sneered and said, "Don't mention that."I have raised this unworthy villain, and I am no longer filial; I have taught him a lesson, and everyone will support him; why don't I strangle him to death today, so as to avoid future troubles!As he spoke, he asked for a rope to strangle him to death.Mrs. Wang hurriedly embraced and cried: "Although the master should discipline his son, it also depends on the relationship between husband and wife."Now that I am fifty years old, I have only this evil obstacle, and I will definitely take him as the law, and I dare not persuade him deeply.I want him to die more and more today, isn't it intentional to reject me.If you want to strangle him, quickly take the rope and strangle me first, and then strangle him.We girls dare not hold a grudge, after all, we have to rely on in the underworld.After finishing speaking, he climbed on Baoyu and burst into tears.After hearing this, Jia Zheng sighed, sat down on the chair, and burst into tears.Mrs. Wang held Baoyu in her arms, and saw that his face was pale and weak, and he was wearing a green gauze gown covered with blood stains. She couldn't help taking off the sweat towel and looking at it. From the arms to the shin, it was blue or purple, whole or torn, and it was not good at all. Unknowingly burst into tears, the poor son was frightened!Because of crying out for his fate, he suddenly thought of Jia Zhu again, so he called Jia Zhu and cried, "If you live, I don't care if a hundred die."At this time, the people inside heard that Mrs. Wang had come out, and Wang Xifeng and Yingchun sisters, the presiding officer of Palace Li, had already come out.Mrs. Wang cried Jia Zhu's name, and others were okay, but the palace judge couldn't help but also burst into tears.When Jia Zheng heard this, the tears rolled down like rolling melons.

Just as they were about to meet, they suddenly heard the servant girl say: The old lady is here.Before he finished a sentence, he heard a trembling voice outside the window saying: "Beat me first, and then him, wouldn't it be clean!"When Jia Zheng saw his mother coming, he was anxious and in pain, so he rushed out to greet him, only to see Jia's mother coming panting while supporting the girl.Jia Zheng stepped forward and bowed to accompany him with a smile: "It's a hot day, why is mother so angry to come here in person?"If you have something to say, you should just ask your son to go in and give instructions.When Jia Mu heard about it, she stopped to take a breath and said sharply, "You were talking to me!"I have something to say, but it's just pity that I didn't raise a good son in my life, but you taught me who to talk to!Jia Zheng didn't like hearing this, so he knelt down and said in tears, "I'm teaching my son a lesson, and I'm also doing it to honor my ancestors."How can I bear my mother's words?When Jia Mu heard about it, she spat and said, "If I say a word, you can't bear it. Can Baoyu be able to bear such a dead hand?"You said teaching your son is a glorious ancestor, how did your father teach you back then!As he spoke, he burst into tears without realizing it.Jia Zheng laughed again and said: "Mother, don't be sad, it's all Zuoer's whim. From now on, I won't beat him again."Jia Mu sneered and said, "You don't have to be angry with me."Your son, I shouldn't care whether you beat me or not.I guess you're sick of us girls too.Why don't we leave you early, everyone is clean!As he said that, he asked people to see the sedan horse. Your wife Baoyu and I will go back to Nanjing immediately!The servants had no choice but to agree.Jia Mu called Mrs. Wang again and said, "You don't have to cry either."Now that Baoyu is young, if you love him, he will grow up to be an official butcher, and he may not necessarily think of you as his mother.You don't want to hurt him now, I'm afraid you will lose one breath in the future.When Jia Zheng heard about it, he kowtowed and cried: "Mother said so, Jia Zheng has no place to stand."Jia Mu sneered and said, "You obviously make me have no place to stand, but you talk about you instead!"It's just that we went back, you have a clean heart, let's see who will let you fight.On the one hand, he said, on the other hand, he only ordered some luggage carts to go back.Jia Zheng begged to plead guilty.

While Jia Mu was talking, she was also thinking about Baoyu. When she came in to look at it, she saw that today's beating was no better than in the past. She was distressed, angry, and crying.Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng waited for a while to persuade, and then gradually stopped.There was a maid and daughter-in-law who came up long ago and wanted to help Baoyu, and Sister Feng scolded, "Don't open your eyes to see if you are a fool!"With such a beating, I still have to walk with me!Hurry up and go in and lift out the rattan drawer and spring stool.When they heard that they went in quickly, they brought out the spring stool, put Baoyu on the stool, followed Mrs. Jia Muwang and waited in, and sent them to Jia Mu's room.

At that time, Jia Zheng saw that Jia's mother was still angry, so he didn't dare to relax, so he followed him in.Look at Baoyu, it's really heavy.Look at Mrs. Wang again, with a sonorous sound, you died a long time ago in place of Zhuer, keep Zhuer to save your father from being angry, I don't want to worry about this half my life in vain.If you have something good or bad at this moment, leave me and ask me to rely on that one!After a few counts, I cried unbelievably.When Jia Zheng heard this, he became discouraged and regretted that he should have beaten him so badly.First persuade Jia Mu, Jia Mu said with tears: "If you don't go out, what are you doing here!"Could it be that if you don't have enough heart, you have to watch him die before you can go!When Jia Zheng heard about it, Fang withdrew.

At this time, Aunt Xue, Baochai, Xiangling, Xiren and Shi Xiangyun are also here.Xiren was full of grievances, so he had to do everything he could. Seeing the crowd surrounding him, those pouring water, and those fanning, he couldn't get his hands in, so he hurriedly walked out to the second gate, and ordered the servants to find Baoming. Detailed question: It was just fine, why did they fight?You didn't come early to reveal a letter!Bao Ming said anxiously: I was not in front of me, and I didn't hear it until the middle of the fight.Busy inquiring about the reason, it was because of sister Jin Chuan, the Qi official.Attacker said: how did the master know?Baoming said: "The matter of Qiguan is mostly because Uncle Xue is jealous on a daily basis and has no way to vent his anger. I don't know who he instigated outside and set the fire in front of the master."The story of Jin Chuan'er was said by the third master, and I also heard it from the master's people.When Xiren heard that these two things were true, he believed it eight or nine points in his heart.Then when I came back, I saw that everyone was treating Baoyu.After the mediation is complete, Jia's mother ordered Haosheng to carry it to his room.Everyone agreed, and hurriedly sent Baoyu to lie down on their own beds in Yihong courtyard.After another half day of chaos, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the attacker came in to wait on him wholeheartedly and asked him what he served.Let's listen to the next chapter.
