But Baoyu and Baochai got up quickly when they heard that Sister Feng was critically ill.The girl serves with a candle.Just about to be discharged from the hospital, Mrs. Wang sent someone to say: Lian's second grandma is not well, and she hasn't died yet. Second master and second grandma, let's go slowly.Lian's second grandmother's illness was a bit strange. From the third watch to the fourth watch, Lian's second grandmother didn't shut up, talking nonsense, asking for a boat or a sedan chair, and putting it in the book when it came to Jinling.Everyone didn't understand, she was just crying and shouting.Lian's second master had no choice but to paste the boat sedan chair. Before he brought it, Lian's second grandma was waiting panting.Tell us to come over and say, wait for Lian's second grandma to go before going there.Baoyu said, "That's strange. What did she do in Jinling?"Xiren said to Baoyu softly, "Didn't you dream that year? I still remember how many books there were. Didn't Second Grandma Lian also go there?"Baoyu nodded and said, "Yes, unfortunately, I don't remember what I said above."That being said, everyone has a certain number.But I don't know where sister Lin has gone again?Now that I am told by you, I understand a little bit.If I have this dream again, I have to take a closer look, and I will be a prophet.Xi Ren said: "People like you are not allowed to talk to you. If you mention something by chance, do you recognize it?"Even if you can see, what can you do!Baoyu said: "I'm afraid I can't predict. If I can, I don't have to worry about you."

When the two were talking, Baochai came up and asked, "What did you say?"Baoyu was afraid of her cross-examination, so he only said: We are talking about Sister Feng.Baochai said: "People are going to die, and you just talk about them."Last year you still said that I cursed people, didn't the lottery come true?Baoyu thought about it again, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes."In this way, you can be a prophet.I simply ask you, do you know what will happen to me in the future?Baochai laughed and said, "This is another nonsense."I misunderstood what she asked for in the signature, so you take it seriously.You are the same as Sister Xing. When you lost the jade, she went to ask Miaoyu to help her spirit, and the people who approved it were puzzled. She even told me behind her back how Miaoyu knew before, how she practiced Zen and enlightened the Tao.Now that she is in such a catastrophe, she doesn't know why, does this count as prior knowledge?It's just that I accidentally talked about the second grandma, but I actually know what happened to her, I'm afraid I don't even know myself.Such a whereabouts is not a fiction, is it believable?Baoyu said, "Don't mention her."You can only talk about Sister Xing, since we have troubles here again and again, we have forgotten about her.Such a big event in your family, why did it end so hastily?Did not invite relatives and friends.Baochai said, "You are being roundabout again."Of the relatives in our family, only ours is the closest to the Wang family.There are no serious people in the Wang family.Our family has suffered a major incident from the old lady, so we didn't invite her. It was Lian's second brother who made a fuss.Although other relatives also have one or two sects, how do you know if you haven't been there?After all, our second sister-in-law's life is about the same as mine, and she promised my second brother well. My mother originally wanted to marry my second brother in a dignified manner.One is because my elder brother is in prison, and the second elder brother is unwilling to deal with it; the second is because of our family affairs; the third is because my second sister-in-law is suffering with the eldest wife, and she ransacked the house, and the eldest wife is a little harsher. Yes, she is also really uncomfortable.So I talked to my mother, and I just got married.I think the second sister-in-law is now happy to honor my mother, ten times better than my own daughter-in-law.She also treats her second elder brother in a womanly manner, and she is very friendly with Xiangling. The second elder brother is not at home, and the two of them live in harmony.Although poorer, my mother has been more at ease these days.Just thinking of my brother makes me sad.What's more, I often send people home to use it, thanks to the second elder brother asking for it from the account outside to deal with him.I heard that several houses in the city have been sold out, and there is one left, which I plan to move to live in.Baoyu said, "Why do you want to move?"Living here, it is cheaper for you to come and go; if you move far away, it will take a day for you to go.Baochai said: "Although they are relatives, they are more stable and convenient after all."There is a person who lives in a relative's house all his life!

Baoyu wanted to explain the reason for not moving, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to say: Lian's second grandma has died, and everyone has passed. Please go to the second master and second grandma.After hearing this, Baoyu couldn't help but stamped her feet and wanted to cry.Although Baochai was also sad, she was afraid that Baoyu would be sad, so she said, "If anyone is crying here, it's better to cry over there." So they went all the way to Sister Feng's, only to see many people crying around.When Baochai came to him, seeing that Sister Feng had already stopped her bed, she let out a cry of grief.Baoyu also took Jia Lian's hand and burst into tears.Jia Lian also cried again.Seeing that there was no one to persuade them, Ping'er and others had no choice but to come up with sadness to dissuade them.Everyone is sad.At this time, Jia Lian was at a loss, so he sent someone to tell Lai Dalai to handle the funeral.Go back to understand Jia Zheng, and then act.But money is poor and everything is tight; thinking of the benefits that Sister Feng has had in the past, I cry even more; and seeing Sister Qiao crying to death, I feel even more sad.Crying until dawn, he immediately sent someone to invite his brother-in-law Wang Ren to come over.

Wang Ren, since Wang Ziteng's death, and Wang Zisheng's incompetence, let him do whatever he wants, and the six relatives have been at odds.Knowing that the girl is dead, I had to hurry over and cry.Seeing that everything is about to be done here, I feel uncomfortable, and said: My sister has worked hard in your family for several years, and there is nothing wrong with it. Your family should be serious about sending it. Why is everything not ready at this time? ?Jia Lian was at odds with Wang Ren. When he saw him say some stupid things, he knew what he didn't understand, so he ignored him.Wang Ren then called his niece Qiaojie over and said: When your mother was here, she was not very considerate in her work, she only knew how to flatter the old lady blindly, and she didn't think much of us.Nephew, you are grown up too, have you seen that I have been contaminated by you?Now that your mother is dead, you have to listen to your uncle in everything.The relatives of your mother's natal family are me and your second uncle.I already knew what your father was like. He only respected others. Aunt You died that year. Although I was not in Beijing, I heard people said that he spent a lot of money.Now that your mother is dead, is your father going to do it like this?Don't be too quick to persuade your father!

Sister Qiao said: "My father is eager to look good, but now it's not as good as before.There is no money in hand now, so it is possible to save some things.Wang Rendao: "Are you still short of things?"Sister Qiao said: "Copy it from the old year, so there is still one!"Wang Rendao: You also said the same?I heard the old lady gave a lot of things, you should take them out.It's hard for Sister Qiao to tell her father to use it, so she just pushes it and doesn't know.Wang Ren said: Oh!I know, but you want to keep it as a dowry.After hearing this, Sister Qiao didn't dare to reply, so she was so angry that she choked and cried.Ping'er said angrily, "Uncle, if you have something to say, wait until our second master comes in."At such a young age, what does she know!Wang Rendao: You wish that the second grandma died, and you would be kings.I don't want anything, look better, it's also your face.Said, sat down angrily.Qiaojie was full of discomfort, thinking: My father is not heartless.When my mother was there, my uncle took a lot of things, and now he speaks so cleanly!So she didn't think much of her uncle.Unexpectedly, Wang Ren thought to himself, how much his sister had saved up, even though the house was raided, wouldn't there be less money in the house?It must be because I was afraid that I would pester them, so I also helped to say so.This little thing is useless.From then on, Wang Ren also hated sister Qiao.

Jia Lian didn't know, but was busy getting money to use.Lai Da has to deal with the big things outside; a lot of money will be spent inside, which can't be done for a while.Knowing that he was anxious, Ping'er called Jia Lian and said, "Second Master, don't hurt yourself too much."Jia Lian said, "What body!"There is no money for daily use now, what should I do about this matter?There is a foolish person who is entangled here again, what do you want to do!Ping'er said: "Second master, don't worry. If you say you don't have money, I still have some things. Fortunately, I didn't copy them in the old year. They are in it."If the second master wants it, just take it and order it.After hearing this, Jia Lian thought to himself: This is rare.Then he laughed and said, "It's better this way, so I don't have to worry about everything."I will pay you back when I get the money.Ping'er said: "My grandma gave it to me too, so I don't want to pay back anything!"As long as this thing is done better.Jia Lian was really grateful to her in his heart, so he took Ping'er's things and used them as money.Discuss everything with Ping'er.Qiutong looked at it, feeling a little unwilling, and said in every quarrel: Ping'er has no grandma, she has to go up.I belong to the master, why did she pass me by?Ping'er saw it too, and just ignored her.But Jia Lian understood for a while, and became more and more disgusted with Qiutong, and was a little annoyed for a while, so he took Qiutong to vent his anger.Mrs. Xing knew that Jia Lian was not good.Jia Lian endured his anger.do not mention.

Besides, Sister Feng stopped for more than ten days and sent the funeral.Jia Zheng kept the old lady's filial piety, and was always out in the study.At that time, Qingke Xianggong gradually resigned, and only Cheng Rixing was still there, often talking with him.Speaking of bad luck in the family, a lot of people died in the company, and the old man and uncle Zhen were outside again, and the family was struggling day by day.The parents of Dongzhuang outside don't know what's going on, it's terrible!Cheng Rixing said: I have been here for many years, and I also know people in the family, which one is not fat?Take it to his home every year, so the natural mansion is less than one year.With the addition of the expenses of the two places of the old man and the old man Zhen, there are some debts outside, and a lot of money has been broken before, it is difficult to catch thieves and recover the stolen goods in the yamen.If the old man wants to settle his family affairs, he must send a confidant to check and check the affairs of those who are in charge. He should go and keep what should be left. I have counted.People would not dare to buy that big garden, and there is a lot of potential here, so no one will be assigned to manage it.That year when the old man was not at home, these people would play tricks and make troubles, so that no one dared to go to the garden. This was all the fault of the family.At this time, it is reasonable to check the servants, and make good ones, and expel the bad ones.Jia Zheng nodded and said, "Sir, what you don't know, not to mention servants, even your own nephew, is unreliable."If I look it up, I can see and know them one by one.Besides, I'm in service again, so I can't take care of these anymore.I've always been a little caretaker, and I still can't figure out what's there.Cheng Rixing said: "The old man is the most benevolent person, if he is in another family, with such a family, he will be poor, and he will not be afraid for ten to five years, just ask these housekeepers, that's enough."I heard that Shiweng's family members still serve as county magistrates.Jia Zheng said: "If a person wants to make money from his family, it's a big deal, so he has to be frugal."But the property on the brochure, if it is real, is fine, I am afraid that it is in name only.Cheng Rixing said: "What the old man saw is very true."Why did the late student say to look it up?Jia Zheng said: "Mr. must have heard about it."Cheng Rixing said: "Although I know some supernatural powers in managing affairs, I dare not speak even when I was born late.When Jia Zheng heard this, he realized that there was a reason for the words, so he sighed: "I have always been kind since my grandfather, and I have never been mean to my servants."I can see that these people are changing day by day.It acts like a master in my hands, which is also a joke.

While the two were talking, the person at the door came in and replied, "Jiangnan Master Zhen has arrived."Jia Zheng asked, "Why did Master Zhen come to Beijing?"The man said: "The servant also inquired, and said that he was recovered by the grace of the Holy Spirit."Jia Zheng said, "Needless to say, please go ahead."The man went out and invited him in.That Master Zhen is the father of Zhen Baoyu, named Zhen Yingjia, whose name is Youzhong, who is also from Jinling, and he is a descendant of meritorious service.He was originally related to Jia's mansion and used to walk around.He was dismissed by mistake the year before last and moved his family property.Today, the lord pays homage to the meritorious officials, and bestows them back to the world, and takes them to see you in Beijing.Knowing that Jiamu's new funeral, special sacrifices were prepared, and a day was chosen to pay homage to the place where the spirit was sent, so I came to visit first.Jia Zheng was convinced that he could not make a long-distance call, so he waited at the door of the outer study.When the old master Zhen saw it, he was filled with grief and joy. Because he was in the middle of the party and it was inconvenient to salute, he held hands and said some farewell words.

Jia Zheng asked, "When did you meet your old relative?"Zhen Yingjia said: "The day before yesterday.Jia Zhengdao: "The lord, Long En, must have warm instructions."Zhen Yingjia said: The Lord's grace is really higher than the sky, and he has made many wills.Jia Zhengdao: "What good intention?"Zhen Yingjia said: "Recently, the Vietnamese bandits are rampant. The common people in the coastal area are uneasy, so they sent Anguo Gong to conquer the bandits."Because I am familiar with the territory, the Lord ordered me to go to appease, but I will get up immediately.Knowing that the old lady passed away yesterday, I would like to prepare petal incense to pay a memorial service before the spirit, and show a little enthusiasm.Jia Zheng hurriedly kowtowed his head to thank him, and said, "This old man's trip must be to comfort the Sacred Heart and go down to Anlishu. Sincerely, he has made a great contribution and is on this trip!"But my younger brother couldn't see the genius in person, so he had to listen to the good news from afar.Now Zhenhai is governed by younger brothers and relatives, and they will look forward to Qingzhao in the current affairs.Zhen Yingjia said: "What are the relatives of the old man and the system?"Jia Zhengdao: When my younger brother was in Liangdao in Jiangxi that year, he betrothed his daughter to the ruling young monarch, and they have been married for three years.Because the Haikou case was not clear, and the pirates gathered together, so there was no news.My brother misses my little daughter deeply, and after the old man's appeasement is over, please treat me with respect.The younger brother practiced a few lines and asked Zunji to take it away, so he was very grateful.Zhen Yingjia said: The love between children is inevitable.I have something to entrust to my old relatives.He was summoned to Beijing by the grace of the day. Because the child was young and the family lacked people, he brought all the lowly relatives to Beijing.Because of the speed of the emperor, I went first day and night, and my family members slowed down. It will take time to get to Beijing.The younger brother went out of Beijing according to the order, and dared not stay for a long time.In the future, when the humble relatives come to Beijing, they will have to go to the Zun's mansion, and they will be called to kowtow by the dog.If you can enter the teaching, if there is a place where marriage can be planned, please beg for attention.Jia Zheng agreed one by one.Then Zhen Yingjia said a few more words, was about to get up, and said: See you outside the city tomorrow.Seeing that he was busy, Jia Zheng could not sit down any longer, so he had to be sent out of the study.

Jia Lian and Baoyu had already served there to send them off, but they dared not enter without permission because Jia Zheng didn't call.Zhen Yingjia came out, and the two went up to pay their respects.When Ying Jia saw Baoyu, she was stunned for a while, thinking: Why does this look so much like my Baoyu?It's just plain.Because I asked: "My dearest relative, Jiukuo, the men don't recognize him anymore."Jia Zheng hurriedly pointed to Jia Lian and said, "This is Lian's second nephew, the son of my elder brother's famous pardon."Pointing to Baoyu again, he said, "This is the second little dog named Baoyu."Ying Jia clapped her hands and said, "I heard at home that the old man had a son named Baoyu who was born to Yu.Because it has the same name as the child, it is very strange in my heart.Later, thinking about this is also a common thing, and I don't care about it.Who would have thought that when we saw each other today, not only their appearances were the same, but their manners were also the same, which was even more surprising.When asked about his age, he was a little younger than my brother here.When Jia Zheng mentioned that Bao Yong belonged to Bao Yong, he asked about the son's elder brother and the child's same name and said it again.Because Ying Jia was interested in Baoyu, she didn't have time to ask about Bao Yong's success, so she praised repeatedly: "It's really rare!"Because he took Baoyu's hand again, he was extremely courteous.He was also afraid that An Guogong would get up very quickly, and he had to prepare for a long walk, so he reluctantly broke up and walked slowly.Jia Lian and Baoyu sent it out, and asked Baoyu some more questions along the way.After boarding the car, Jia Lian and Baoyu came back to see Jia Zheng and answered Ying Jia's questions.Jia Zheng ordered them to disperse.

Jia Lian went to Zhang Luo again to calculate the accounts of Ming Feng's funeral.Baoyu went back to his room and told Baochai, saying: "I don't think I can see Zhen Baoyu, who is often mentioned, but today I saw his father first."I also heard that Baoyu of his family is coming to Beijing soon, and is going to visit my master.And everyone said they were exactly the same as me, but I just didn't believe it.If he later comes to our place, you all go and see if he really looks like me.After hearing this, Baochai said, "Hey, why are you becoming more inattentive when you speak?"What man has said the same thing as you, why don't you ask us to see it!When Baoyu heard this, he knew it was a slip of the tongue. He blushed and hurried to explain.I don't know what to say, I will break it down next time.
