It is said that Mingyan told the little girl at the door that Baoyu's jade was available, and the little girl hurried back to tell Baoyu.After hearing this, all the people pushed Baoyu out to ask him, and they all listened in the corridor.Baoyu also felt at ease, so he went to the door and asked, "where did you get it?"Bring it quickly.Mingyan said: You can't get it, you have to entrust someone to take it as a guarantee.Baoyu said, "Tell me how you got it, so that I can ask someone to take it."Mingyan said: I knew that Grandpa Lin was going to test the characters outside, so I followed.I heard that I was looking for it in a pawnshop, and before he finished speaking, I ran to several pawnshops.I compared it to them, and one family said yes.I said: give it to me.The shop asks for tickets.I said: How much should it be?He said: There are also those with 300 renminbi and 500 renminbi.A man took such a piece of jade a while ago and pawned it for three hundred renminbi;Baoyu didn't wait to finish, and said, "Go and get three hundred and five hundred coins quickly. Let's pick and see if it's right."The attacker inside spat: Second Lord, ignore him!When I was a child, I heard my brother often say that some people sell those little jades, but they don’t have any money to use them, so they pawn them.I think it's available in every pawn shop.Everyone was surprised when they heard it. When the attacked person said it and thought about it, everyone laughed and said, "Call the second master in quickly, and ignore that stupid thing."Those jades he mentioned are not serious things.

Baoyu was smiling when he saw Xiuyan coming.It turned out that when Xiuyan went to Changcui nunnery and saw Miaoyu, she didn't have time to gossip, so she asked Miaoyu to help her spirit.Miaoyu sneered a few times and said, "I'm in contact with the girl because the girl is not a snobbish person."Why did you hear the rumors there today and come over to pester me?Besides, I don't know what a Fushi is.Said, will ignore.Xiuyan regrets coming here, knowing that she has such a temper, I have already said that I can't go back in vain, and I can't challenge her to prove that she knows how to hold a ghost.I had no choice but to laugh and say the words about Xiren and other life relations.Seeing that Miaoyu was moving slightly, she got up and bowed a few times.Miaoyu sighed, "Why do you have to marry someone?"But since I came to Beijing, no one has known about it. If you make an exception today, you may be entangled in the future.Xiuyan said: I can't bear it for a while, I know you must be merciful.That is, if others beg you in the future, who would dare to force you if they want to be with you?Miaoyu smiled, asked the Taoist woman to burn incense, found a sand table shaman in the box, wrote the talisman, and ordered Xiuyan to salute. After the congratulations, she got up and supported the shaman with Miaoyu.After a while, I saw the fairy writing quickly:

Alas!Come without trace, go without trace, leaning against the ancient pines under the Qinggeng Peak.If you want to pursue, there are thousands of mountains, come into my door and meet with a smile. After finishing the book, I stopped.Xiuyan asked, "He Xian, please?"Miaoyu said: "The one who invited is Guaixian."Xiuyan recorded it, and asked Miaoyu to explain it.Miaoyu said: "This is impossible, even I don't understand it."Take it quickly, there are many smart people among them. Xiuyan had no choice but to come back.Entering the courtyard, everyone asked, "What's the matter?"Xiuyan didn't have time to elaborate, so she passed the recorded shaman's words to Li Wan.All the sisters and Baoyu competed to see, but they all understood that they couldn't find it if they looked for it for a while, but they couldn't lose it if they lost it.But where is Qinggeng Peak?Li Wan said: "This is a secret language of immortality."Where did our family run out of Qinggeng Peak?Who must be afraid of being found out and put it under the mountain rock with pine trees is uncertain.Just enter my door alone, whose door is it entering?Daiyu said: "I don't know who is inviting!"Xiuyan Road: Guaixian.Tanchun said: "If it's the door of the immortal family, it will be difficult to enter."

Xiren was busy in his heart, so he looked for it on the ground, and he couldn't find it under any stone, but there was nothing.Back in the courtyard, Baoyu didn't ask if there was any, but just smirked.Musk Moon said anxiously: "Little ancestor!"Where did you lose it?It has been explained, even if we suffer, we are also in the open!Baoyu laughed and said, "I said I lost it outside, but you didn't follow me."You ask me now, do I know!Li Wan and Tanchun said: "It's the third watch since I woke up early today."You see, sister Lin couldn't handle it anymore, so they went their separate ways.It's time for us to take a break too, let's make trouble tomorrow.With that said, everyone dispersed.Baoyu even falls asleep.Poor Xiren waited to cry once, think about it once, and had no sleep all night.Let's not mention it for now.

Let's say that Daiyu went back first, thinking of Jinshi's old words, she liked herself, and said in her heart: "The words of monks and Taoists are really unbelievable."If gold and jade are destined, how can Baoyu lose this jade?Or because of my affairs, their gold and jade were broken up, which is also unknown.After thinking about it for a long time, I felt more relieved, ignored the fatigue of the day, and started to read the book again.Zicuckoo felt tired and urged Daiyu to sleep.Although Daiyu lay down, she thought of the Begonia flower again, saying that this piece of jade was originally brought from the womb, it was an extraordinary thing, and it had something to do with it coming and going.If it's a good thing for the flower owner, shouldn't the jade be lost?It seems that the blooming of this flower is ominous, could it be that something bad happened to him?Unknowingly hurt my heart again.Turning to the happy event again, the flower seems to be blooming, and the jade seems to be lost. So sad and happy, I don't fall asleep until I think of the fifth watch.

The next day, Mrs. Wang sent someone to the pawnshop to inquire, and Sister Feng tried to find it secretly.After a few days of trouble, there was no whereabouts.I'm also happy that Jia's mother and Jia Zheng are unknown.Xiren and others are in fear every day.Baoyu also didn't go to school for several days, but was just in a daze, not saying a word, not thinking.Mrs. Wang only knew that he got up because of the loss of jade, and she didn't care too much.I was wondering that day, when I saw Jia Lian coming in to say hello, he smiled and said, "Today, I heard that Jia Yucun, a military aircraft, sent someone to tell the second master that my uncle and great-grandfather have been promoted to a cabinet bachelor. He came to Beijing by order. Japanese Xuanma.There are three hundred miles of documents to go, and I think my uncle will be there in more than half a month, traveling day and night.My nephew and his wife know about it.When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she was very happy.Just thinking that my mother's family is small, Aunt Xue's family has declined again, and my brother is working outside, so I can't take care of her.Today, I suddenly heard that my brothers came back to Beijing, the glory of the Wang family, and Baoyu will be relied on in the future, so I let go of the lost jade.I look forward to my brothers coming to Beijing every day.

Suddenly one day, Jia Zheng came in, his face was full of tears, and he said out of breath, "Go and report to the old lady, and enter the palace immediately."You don’t need many people, you serve in it.Because of the sudden sudden illness of the empress, the eunuch is waiting outside.He said: Tai Hospital has played a clear phlegm Jue, can not be cured.When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she burst into tears.Jia Zheng said: "This is not the time to cry. Hurry up and ask the old lady, and speak softly, so as not to frighten the old man."As Jia Zheng said, he came out and ordered his family to serve him.Mrs. Wang withdrew her tears and went to invite Jia's mother. She only said that Concubine Yuan was ill, so she went in to greet her.Jia Mu recited Buddhism and said, "Why are you sick again?"I was terrified of it before, but later I made a mistake.This time I would rather be wrong again.As Mrs. Wang replied, she urged Yuanyang and others to unpack the clothes and accessories and put them on.Mrs. Wang hurried back to her room, got dressed and came to serve her.Go out of the hall for a while, get on the sedan chair and enter the palace.do not mention.

In addition, after Yuanchun chose Fengzao Palace, the holy relatives were solemn and well-fed, so it was laborious to move.Daily life fatigue, occasional phlegm disease.Because I went back to the palace for a banquet the day before yesterday, I was occasionally caught in the cold, which brought back old illnesses.Unexpectedly, this time it was very serious, and the phlegm was blocked, and the limbs were extremely cold.On the one hand, the imperial physician was called for treatment.Unexpectedly, if the decoction does not enter, even the customs-clearing medicine will not be effective.The internal officials are worried, so please arrange the funeral in advance.So a decree was ordered to visit Jia's pepper room.Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang entered the palace according to the order. Seeing that the concubine Yuan was stuffed with phlegm and saliva, she could not speak.Mother Jia came forward to greet her and play some comforting words.When I was young, Jia Zheng and other titles were promoted, and the palace concubine passed the news, and the concubine Yuan couldn't look at her, and her face gradually changed.The eunuchs in the inner palace are going to play the news, and they are afraid to send all the concubines to watch. It is not convenient for the in-laws of the pepper house to stay for a long time, so please serve them in the outer palace.Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang left as much as they could bear, but they had to come down because of the country's system. They didn't dare to cry, but felt sad in their hearts.There is a letter from the officials in the court.Not long after, the eunuch came out and passed on to Qin Tianjian.Jia's mother knew it was not good, so she didn't dare to move.After a while, the little eunuch came out and said: Empress Jia passed away.It was the beginning of spring on December 18 of the year of Jiayin, and the date of the death of the concubine Yuan was December 19. It had passed the Yin month of the Mao year, and she was forty-three years old.Mother Jia got up sadly, so she had to get out of the palace and go home in a sedan chair.Jia Zheng and others have also been trusted, and they are sad all the way.At home, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Baoyu, etc. went out of the hall, greeted Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and everyone wept.do not mention.

Get up early the next day, and those who have a grade, according to the funeral ceremony of the imperial concubine, please come in and cry.Jia Zheng is also in the Ministry of Industry. Although he handles the affairs according to the ceremonial notes, it is inevitable that he will have to deal with him in the class, and his colleagues will ask him for advice, so he is busier at both ends.But the concubine Yuan didn't come out, but her posthumous title was Xianshu noble concubine.This is the royal system, so there is no need to repeat it.It's just that the men and women in Jia's mansion go to the palace every day, and they are extremely busy.Fortunately, Sister Feng's health has improved recently, and she has to come out to take care of family affairs, and she has to prepare Prince Teng to go to Beijing to welcome the wind and congratulate her.Sister Feng's brother Wang Ren came to Beijing with his family when he knew that his uncle had joined the cabinet.Sister Feng likes it in her heart, so she has some heart problems, and she puts away these people from her natal family, so she feels better than before.When Mrs. Wang saw that Sister Feng was doing business as usual, she unloaded half of her burden, and saw her brother come to Beijing. She was at ease and felt calmer.

Only Baoyu was a jobless person who didn't study. The Confucianism knew that there was something wrong with his family and didn't take care of him. Jia Zheng was busy, so naturally he didn't have time to check him.Thinking that Baoyu could take this opportunity to have fun with her sisters every day.Unexpectedly, since he lost his jade, he walks around sluggishly all day long, and his speech is also confused.And when Jia's mother came back from the house, someone told him to go and say hello, so she went; no one called him, and he didn't move.Xiren and others were pregnant with ghosts, but they didn't dare to provoke him, for fear that he would get angry.Tea and rice are served in front of you every day, and you don't want to come if you don't come.Seeing this scene, Xiren didn't look angry, but sick.Xiren secretly went to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to tell Zijuan that it was the second master who did this, and begged the girl to enlighten him.Although Zijuan told Daiyu immediately, because Daiyu thought about her marriage, she must be herself. Now that she saw him, she felt embarrassed: If he came, he was in the same place when he was young, so it would be difficult. Take care of him; if you say that I will go to him, I will definitely not do it.So Daiyu refused to come.Xiren went to tell Tanchun secretly.But Tanchun knew in his heart that the begonias bloomed strangely, and Baoyu's loss was even more strange. After the death of the concubine Yuan's sister, he forgives the family's bad luck and is depressed every day, so he has the heart to persuade Baoyu.Kuang brothers and sisters are different from men to women, so I have to come here once or twice.Baoyu is lazy in the end, so he doesn't come here very often.

Baochai also knows that she has lost her jade.Because Aunt Xue accepted Baoyu's marriage that day, she told Baochai when she went back.Aunt Xue also said: Although your aunt said it, I haven't agreed yet, and said to wait for your brother to come back.Are you willing or not?Baochai said to her mother indifferently, "Mom is wrong."The affairs of the girl's house are decided by the parents.Now that my father is gone, my mother should be in charge; otherwise, ask my brother; why ask me?So Aunt Xue cherished her even more, saying that although she was pampered since she was a child, she was born chaste and quiet, so Baoyu was never mentioned in front of her.Since Baochai heard this, she naturally didn't mention the word Baoyu.Now even though I heard that the jade was lost, I was very surprised and suspicious, so it was hard to ask, so I had to listen to what others said, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with me.Only Aunt Xue sent the girl to ask for letters several times, because she was anxious about her son Xue Pan, and only waited for her brother to come to Beijing so that he could be exonerated; When Sister Feng got well, she came out to take care of the family and put aside the affairs of Jia's family.It's just that Xiren suffers. Although Baoyu serves and comforts him in a low voice, Baoyu doesn't understand, and Xiren is only secretly worried. A few days later, Concubine Yuan stopped at the mourning temple, and Mother Jia went to send the funeral for a few days.Unexpectedly, Baoyu stays like a day, without fever or pain, but he doesn't eat like food, doesn't sleep like sleep, and even has no clue when talking.Xiren, sheyue and others panicked and went back to Sister Feng several times.Sister Feng came over from time to time. At first she said that she couldn't find Yu to be angry, but now seeing him in a state of despair, she could only ask a doctor for treatment every day.After taking several doses of the decoction, it only added to the disease, but did not reduce it.When she asked him where he felt uncomfortable, Baoyu didn't say anything. Until the concubine Yuan's affairs were over, Jia's mother missed Baoyu and went to the garden to see her in person.Mrs. Wang also came with her.Xiren and so on hurriedly asked Baoyu to pick him up and pay his respects.Although Baoyu is sick, he gets up and takes action every day.Today, when he was asked to pick up Jiamu, he still greeted her, but Xiren was there to help and teach.When Jia Mu saw it, she said, "My son, I'm looking at how sick you are, so I come to see you."Today you look the same, my heart is relieved a lot.Mrs. Wang is naturally relieved.But Baoyu didn't answer, just smiled.Jia Mu waited in the room and sat down, asked him what he said, and the attacker taught him something, and he said something, which was very different from usual, just like a fool.The more Jia Mu looked at it, the more doubtful she became, and she said, "When I came in to see it, I didn't see any disease. Now I take a closer look, and the disease is really not serious. It looks like a lost mind."What happened?Mrs. Wang knows that it is hard to hide things, and seeing the pitiful appearance of the attacker, she had to follow Baoyu's previous words and quietly told the story of losing this piece of jade when she went to the Nan'an Palace to listen to the opera.I was also very hesitant in my heart. I was afraid that Jia Mu would be anxious, and said: "Now people are looking around, asking for lottery and divination. They all say they are looking for them in pawnshops, and they must be found."When Jia Mu heard this, she stood up anxiously, with tears streaming down her face, and said, "How can this jade be lost!"You are so ignorant!Could it be that the master also let go of his hand?Knowing that Jia's mother was angry, Mrs. Wang asked Xiren to kneel down, lowered her head, and said: "The daughter-in-law is afraid that the old lady will be anxious, and the master will be angry, so she dare not return."Jia Mu coughed, "This is Baoyu's lifeblood."Because he was lost, he was so devastated.Not bad!What's more, everyone in the city knows about this jade, whoever picks it up, asks you to find it?Tell someone to please the master quickly, I told him.At that time, Mrs. Wang and Xiren were so frightened that they all begged: "The old lady is angry, and it will be even worse for the master when she comes back."Now that Baoyu is ill, let us do our best to find it.Jia Mu said: "You are afraid that the master will be angry, but I am here!"So he asked musk moon's messenger to invite him, and after a while, a word came in, saying, "my lord has gone to thank you."Jia Mu said, "It's fine if you don't need him."You just say what I said, and you don't have to punish the servants for the time being. I called Lian'er, wrote a reward, and hung it in the place I passed the day before yesterday. If someone who knows picks it up, send a letter to find it, and send five thousand taels of silver.If you really have it, don't begrudge the money.After looking for it like this, it is inevitable to find it.If we rely on a few members of our family to find it, we will search for it for a lifetime, and we will not get it!Mrs. Wang did not dare to speak out.Jia's mother sent a message to Jia Lian, telling him to go quickly.Then Jia Mu asked people, "Move all the things used by Baoyu to me, and only send Xiren and Qiuwen to follow, and the rest stay in the garden to look after the house."After hearing this, Baoyu didn't say anything, but just smirked. Jiamu got up with Baoyu, and Xiren and others helped her out of the garden.Go back to your own room, ask Mrs. Wang to sit down, and watch the people tidy up the inner room, then say to Mrs. Wang: "Do you know what I mean?"There are few people in my garden, and the flowers and trees in Yihong Courtyard wilt and bloom, which is a bit strange.Holding a piece of jade in my head can ward off evil spirits. Now that the jade is lost, I am afraid that evil spirits will easily invade, so I brought him here to live with him.There is no need to ask him to go out these few days, the doctor is here, just watch here.When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she said, "Of course the old lady thinks so."Now Baoyu lives with the old lady. The old lady is so lucky that she can suppress everything.Jia Mu said: "What a blessing!"However, my room is cleaner and there are many scriptures, so you can read them all to calm your mind.You ask Baoyu, okay?When Baoyu asked, he just laughed.Xiren told him to agree, and Baoyu agreed.Mrs. Wang shed tears when she saw such a scene. She dared not speak out with Jia Mu.Knowing that Mrs. Wang was in a hurry, Jia Mu said, "Go back, I'm here to mediate him."When the master comes back in the evening, tell him that he doesn't need to see me, just don't speak a word.After Mrs. Wang left, Mother Jia asked Yuanyang to find some calming medicine and take it according to the prescription.do not mention. Let's say that when Jia Zheng went home that night, he heard Master Dao'er say in the car: "It's very easy for a man to get rich."The one asked: How do you see it?The man said again: "Today I heard that some brother's jade was lost in the Rongfu. There was a poster with the size, style and color of the jade written on it. It said that someone picked it up and sent it to him. He would give 10,000 taels of silver and send a letter." I gave back five thousand.Although Jia Zheng didn't hear it so clearly, he was surprised and hurried back, and called the person at the door to ask about it.The man at the door reported: "The slaves don't know about it. At noon today, the second master of Lian heard the old lady's words and asked people to post posts. That's when I found out."Jia Zheng sighed and said, "The family should be in decline, but I have given birth to such a wicked person!"When I first raised him, there were rumors all over the street. After more than ten years, it got better.What's the point of looking for jade in a big way at this moment!Said, hurriedly went inside to ask Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang told me everything.Jia Zhengzhi was the old lady's idea, and he didn't dare to disobey him, so he only complained about Mrs. Wang.He came out again and told the old lady to reveal the post behind his back.Unexpectedly, those idlers have already exposed it. After a while, someone came to the gate of Rongfu and said that he would send jade.The people in the family heard that they liked it very much, so they said: "Bring it, I'll take it back for you."The man took out a reward from his pocket, and pointed it out to the doorman, isn't this a post from your house, stating that if you send jade, you will be given 10,000 taels of silver.Second grandpa, you see me as poor now, but when I come back, I get money and I will be a rich man.Don't be so indifferent!At the door, he heard his words hard, and said: "Give me a little look at the end, so I can go back for you."At first the man refused, but later he heard that the man said it was reasonable, so he took out the jade, held it in his palm and said, "Is this so?"All the family members were serving abroad, and they only know of jade, which is not common, and they only saw the appearance of this jade today.He ran inside in a hurry, as if grabbing the headlines.That day Jia Zheng and Jia Amnesty went out, and only Jia Lian was at home.When everyone returned to the Ming Dynasty, Jia Lian asked carefully, "Is it true?"The person on the door said: I have seen it with my own eyes, but I don’t give it to the slave. If I want to see the master, I will pay silver with one hand and jade with the other hand.But Jia Lian liked it too, so she hurried to tell Mrs. Wang, even if she went back to Jia Mu in Ming Dynasty.Put your palms together and recite Buddha's name happily.Jia's mother didn't change her words, and said repeatedly: "Quickly ask Lian'er to invite the man to sit down in the study and take the jade to have a look, even if you give him silver."According to Jia Lian's words, invite the man to come in, treat him as a guest, and thank him with kind words: I want to borrow this jade to send it in. I saw it myself, and thank you for a lot of money.The man had no choice but to send a red silk bag over.Jia Lian opened it and saw, isn't it that piece of crystal clear jade?Jia Liansu didn't think about it in the past, but she wanted to read it today. After reading it for a long time, she seemed to be able to recognize the words on it, which said to eliminate evil and worship.When Jia Lian saw it, he was overjoyed, so he asked his family to wait on him, and hurriedly sent him to recognize Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. This meeting shocked the whole family, and they all waited to see it.When Sister Feng saw Jia Lian coming in, she snatched it away. She didn't dare to look at it first, and sent it to Jia Mu.Jia Lian laughed and said, "You don't ask me to contribute to such a small matter!"When Jia Mu opened it, she saw that the jade was darker than before.While rubbing it with his hands, Yuanyang took up his glasses, put them on, looked at them, and said, "strange!"This piece of jade is real, why did it lose the precious color in its head?Mrs. Wang looked at it for a while, but she couldn't recognize it, so she asked Sister Feng to come and have a look.Sister Feng looked at it and said, "It looks like it, but the color is not quite right."It's better to ask brother Bao to see it for himself and then he will know.Xiren was at the side, and he also saw that it might not be that piece, but he was so full of anticipation that he didn't dare to say that it didn't look like it.So Sister Feng took it from Jia's mother, and together with the attacker, showed it to Baoyu.At this time, Baoyu was falling asleep before waking up.Sister Feng told me, "You have your jade."Baoyu's sleepy eyes were dim, and he took it in his hand without looking at it, so he threw it on the ground and said, "You are here to coax me again!"Said, just sneered.Sister Feng quickly picked it up and said, "This is also strange. How did you know it without looking at it?"Baoyu didn't answer, just laughed.Mrs. Wang also came into the room. Seeing him like this, she said, "It goes without saying."His jade was originally a strange thing brought from the womb, so naturally he had a reason.I think this must be someone who saw the post and did it anyway.Everyone suddenly realized. When Jia Lian heard this in the outer room, he said, "No, quickly bring it to me and ask him. He dares to fool around with such a thing!"Jia Mu stopped and said, "Lian'er, take it to him and tell him to go."That's what a poor person can't do, so when he saw something like this in our family, he thought about making some money, and it was possible.Now I spent money for nothing to get this thing, and let us recognize it again.Follow me, don't embarrass him, return the jade to him, say it is not ours, and give him a few taels of silver.People outside knew about it, so they were willing to send the letter.If it is difficult for this person, it is true, and people dare not use it.Jia Lian agreed to go out.The man was still waiting. He hadn't seen anyone for a long time. He was feeling weak there when Jia Lian came out angrily.I don't know what to do, I will break it down next time.
