It is said that Baoyu made a slip of the tongue for himself, and was questioned by Baochai, trying to cover it up, only to see Qiuwen come in and say, "The master outside is called the second master."Baoyu wished for a word and left.Going to Jia Zheng's place, Jia Zheng said: "I asked you to come here for no other reason. Now you are wearing filial piety, so you can't go to school. You are at home, and you must review the articles you have read."I'm free these days, I'll do a few articles every two or three days, and I'll see if you've made any progress.Baoyu had to agree.Jia Zheng said again: "You brother Huan and nephew Lan, I also asked them to review."If your articles are not good, but you are not as good as them, then nothing will happen.Baoyu didn't dare to speak, so he agreed and stood still.Jia Zheng said, "Go ahead."Baoyu retreated, just as he saw Lai Dazhu coming in with some booklets.

Baoyu went back to his room in a hurry. Baochai asked him, knowing that he was called to write an article, but he liked it.Only Baoyu is unwilling and dare not neglect.Just as I was about to sit down and meditate, I saw two aunts coming in. Baoyu saw that they belonged to Dizang Nunnery, so he came to Baochai and said, "Second Grandma, please be well."Baochai said indifferently, "How are you?"Because I called people to come: pour tea for the masters to drink.Baoyu was going to talk to the aunt, but seeing that Baochai seemed to hate these things, it was not easy to talk to her.The aunt knew that Baochai was a cold person, so she sat down soon, resigned and went.Baochai said, "Sit down again."The aunt said: "Because of the meritorious deeds we have done in Tiekan Temple, we haven't come to greet our wives and grandmas for a long time. We came today and met our grandmas and wives. We also want to see the fourth girl."Baochai nodded and let her go.

The aunt went to Xichun's place, saw the color screen, and said, "Where is the girl?"Caiping said: No need to mention it.The girl hasn't eaten for the past few days, she's just crooked.The aunt said: "Why?"Caiping said: It's a long story.When you see the girl, I'm afraid she will tell you.Xichun had heard it a long time ago, sat up hastily, and said: How are you two!Seeing that our family affairs are not good, we will not come.The aunt said: Amitabha!If there is, it is also a benefactor, and if it is not, it is also a benefactor. Don't say that we are from the nunnery of our own family, how much favor we have received from the old lady!Now about the old lady, the wives and grandmothers have all seen it, but they have not seen the girl. They are thinking in their hearts that today is a special visit to see the girl.Xichun then asked about Shuiyuean's aunt.The aunt said: "Some troubles have happened in their nunnery, and now they don't want to let them in through the door."Then he asked Xichun, "I heard it a while ago, why did Master Miao of Changcui nunnery go with someone?"Xichun said: "Words there!"Those who say this are wary of cutting their tongues.He was robbed by robbers, how can he still say such bad things!The aunt said: "Master Miao's behavior is weird. I'm afraid it's hypocrisy?"In front of girls, we can't say anything.Those rough people like us there only know how to satirize the scriptures and chant the Buddha, confess to others, and cultivate a good fruit for ourselves.Xichun said: "How can it be a good fruit?"The aunt said: "Except for our family who are kind and virtuous, I am not afraid. If it is someone else's family, those wives and young ladies who are appointed will not be able to keep their glory for a lifetime."When suffering comes, it cannot be saved.There is only Guanshiyin Bodhisattva who is merciful and merciful. When he meets someone who is suffering, he will be compassionate and try to help him.Why do people talk about Guan Yin Bodhisattva, who saves suffering and suffering with great compassion?Although those of us who have practiced the practice are much more miserable than wives and young ladies, we are not in any danger.Even if you can't become a Buddha and become a patriarch, if you practice in the afterlife or turn into a male body, you will be fine.It's not like now that she gave birth to a woman's fetus, she can't express any grievances and troubles.Girl, you don't know yet, if other girls go out of the family, they will be with others for the rest of their lives, it's even more helpless.If you talk about practice, you only need to practice it really.That Master Miao thinks that she is more talented than us, she thinks we are vulgar, who knows that only vulgar people can get good fortune, she has suffered a catastrophe now.

Xichun was caught on the plane by the aunt's words, and didn't care about the girls here, so she told her how Youshi treated her and how she was housekeeping the other day, and pointed her hair, saying: "You Look at me, am I a person who has no idea and loves the fire pit?I have had such a heart for a long time, but I just can't think of a way out.After hearing this, the aunt pretended to be panicked and said: Miss, don't say that again!When Grandma Zhen heard this, she wanted to scold and kill us and drive us out of the nunnery!A girl with such a personality and such a family, she will be married to a good son-in-law in the future, who will enjoy the glory and wealth of a lifetime and cherish the spring.Knowing that she was sincere, the aunt simply provoked her and said, "Girl, don't blame us for saying something wrong. How can wives and grandma rely on the temper of a girl?"At that time, it was not interesting to make a scene, which was not good.We're talking about girls.Xichun said, "Let's see."Caiping waited to hear that the words were not good, so she gave her aunt a wink and told her to go.The aunt knew it, and she was afraid in her heart, and she didn't dare to tease her, so she left.Xichun didn't want to keep her either, so she sneered and said, "Look around the world, is it your Jizang Nunnery?"The aunt didn't dare to answer, so she went.

Seeing that something was wrong, the color screen was afraid that it was wrong, so he quietly told Youshi, "The fourth girl's idea of ​​twisting her hair has not stopped yet."She wasn't sick the past few days, but resentful of her life.Grandma, be careful, don't cause trouble, and we will be blamed for it.You Shi said: "She is there to become a monk, and she is here because the uncle is not at home. An Xin can't get along with me, so she has no choice but to let her."There is no way to wait for the color screen, so I have to persuade them often.Unexpectedly, Xichun doesn't eat every day, just wants to twist her hair.The color screen and so on can't bear it, so they have to be told everywhere.Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang also tried to persuade her several times, but Xichun was obsessed with it.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were about to tell Jia Zheng, but they heard the news from the outside: "The wife of the Zhen family has brought their precious jade."Everyone rushed out and sat down at Mrs. Wang's place.Everyone saluted and talked about the warmth and coldness, so there is no need to elaborate.She only said that Mrs. Wang mentioned that Zhen Baoyu was the same as her own Baoyu, and she wanted to invite Zhen Baoyu to see her.The word went out, and he came back and said, "Master Zhen was talking to the master in the study outside, and he was speculative. He sent someone to invite our second and third masters, also called Lan Geer, to eat outside and come in after dinner."After that, there will be food inside.No problem.

In addition, Jia Zheng saw that Zhen Baoyu's appearance was the same as Baoyu's, and when he tested his literary talents, he responded fluently and respected him very much, so he asked Baoyu and other three people to come out and warn them;Baoyu obeyed, put on plain clothes, and brought out his brothers and nephews. When he met Zhen Baoyu, he was like an old acquaintance.That Zhen Baoyu is also like the one I have seen there.The two saluted, and then Jia Huan and Jia Lan met each other.Originally, Jia Zheng sat on the ground, but Zhen Baoyu was asked to sit on the chair.Because Zhen Baoyu was a junior, he didn't dare to sit up, so he spread a mat on the ground and sat down.Now that Baoyu waits to come out, he can't sit with Jia Zheng. Because Zhen Baoyu is a later generation, it's not easy to ask Baoyu to stand.Jia Zhengzhi was inconvenient, so he stood and said a few more words, asked someone to set up a meal, and said: I'm sorry, let the younger generation accompany you, let's talk, so that they can learn the big teaching.Zhen Baoyu thanked him: "My lord, please go ahead. My nephew is about to learn from my elder brothers."Jia Zheng replied a few words, and then went to the inner study.Then Zhen Baoyu wanted to send it out, but Jia Zheng stopped him.Baoyu and others took a step first, and stood on the threshold of the study, watching Jia Zheng go in, and then came in and asked Zhen Baoyu to sit down.They narrated to each other for a while, and there is no need to elaborate on what Jiu Mu was thinking about.

Let's say that when Jia Baoyu saw Zhen Baoyu, he thought of the scene in his dream, and knew that Zhen Baoyu was a man, so he must be of one mind with him, thinking that he had a confidant.Because of the first meeting, it is inconvenient to make mistakes.Besides, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were sitting there, and they could only praise and say: "I have admired her name for a long time, and I have no reason to kiss her personally. When I meet you today, you are really a first-class person who is exiled to immortals."Zhen Baoyu has always known Jia Baoyu's character, and seeing him today, he is not bad, but he can learn from me, not from you.He has the same name and appearance as me, and he is also the old spirit on the Sansheng Stone.Now that I know a little bit of truth, why don't I talk to him?But when we first met, I didn't know that his heart was different from mine, so I had to take my time.He said: "Brother Shi's talent and name are what I know."Brother living is the cleanest and most elegant one out of tens of thousands of people, while brother living is a mediocre first-class fool, with the same name, I really feel that I have insulted these two words.After hearing this, Jia Baoyu thought to himself: This person really has the same heart as mine.But you and I are both men, no cleaner than those girls, why does he treat me like a girl?Then he said: "Brother Shi's absurd praise, I really dare not take it."My younger brother is extremely turbid and stupid, but just a piece of stubborn stone ear, how dare you compare him to your elder brother in terms of high quality and high reputation?Zhen Baoyu said: "I didn't know the weight when I was young, so I can still think about it."Unexpectedly, the family has been wiped out, and it has been cheaper than rubble in the past few years. Although I dare not say that I have gone through all kinds of hardships, I have a little understanding of the ways of the world and human relationships.The elder brother is well-clothed and well-fed, and if he is satisfied with everything, it must be because the economics of the article are higher than others, so the old man loves it and will be a treasure on the table.That's why I said my honorable name.

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he got close to the old routine again and wanted to answer.Seeing that Jia Huan hadn't spoken to him, he felt uncomfortable for a long time.On the contrary, Jia Lan felt very agreeable after hearing this, and said: Uncle Shi's words are certainly too modest, but when it comes to the economy of writing, only those who come out of experience are the real talents and real learning.When my nephew was young, although I didn't know what the article was, but after reading it, I savored it carefully. The Gaoliang Wenxiu was a hundred times better than the famous one.Before Zhen Baoyu could answer, Jia Baoyu felt even more disagreeable after hearing Lan'er's words, thinking: since when did this child learn this kind of sour theory.Then he said: "My brother heard that my elder brother also slandered all the vulgarities, and he has a different opinion in his temperament."Today, my brother was lucky to meet Zhifan, and I want to learn the principles of transcendence and holiness. From then on, I can cleanse the vulgar intestines and reopen my horizons.I don't want to regard my younger brother as a fool, so I repay Shilu's words.When Zhen Baoyu heard about it, he knew in his heart: He knows my temperament as a young man, so he suspects me of being a fake.It is also good for me to explain my words simply, or to be a close friend with me.Then he said: "Brother's high opinion, it is true."But my younger brother also hated those old stereotypes when he was young, but every year seems to be like a year, the family monarch is at home, lazy to pay, and entrusts my younger brother to receive him.Later, I met those adults and gentlemen, all of whom were famous and famous; even if they wrote books and made stories, they were nothing more than words of loyalty and filial piety, and they had a career of establishing morality and words. The kindness of the teacher's upbringing and teaching, so I gradually eliminated the ideological and infatuated school when I was young.Now I still want to visit my teacher and find friends to teach me. I am lucky to meet my brother, so I will definitely teach me.What I just said is not false.The more Jia Baoyu listened, the more impatient he became, and he didn't want to be indifferent, so he had to falter his words.Fortunately, a word came from inside: If the men outside have eaten, please sit inside, Young Master Zhen.After Baoyu heard this, he took advantage of the situation and invited Zhen Baoyu in.

Then Zhen Baoyu went on as ordered, and Jia Baoyu and others accompanied him to see Mrs. Wang.Seeing that it was Mrs. Zhen who was sitting up, Jia Baoyu invited Ann first, and Jia Huan and Jia Lan also met.Zhen Baoyu also invited Mrs. Wang to greet her.Two mothers and two sons recognize each other.Although Jia Baoyu was married, Mrs. Zhen is old and an old relative. Seeing that Jia Baoyu's appearance and figure are similar to his son's, she can't help being intimate.Not to mention Mrs. Wang, she pulled Zhen Baoyu to ask questions, and felt that she was more mature than her own Baoyu.Looking back at Jia Lan, he is also handsome and outstanding. Although he can't resemble the image of the two precious jades, he can still go with it.Only Jia Huan's rough tamping is unavoidably partial.

When everyone saw the two precious jades here, they all came to have a look and said, "It's really a miracle!"It doesn't matter if they have the same name, but their appearance and body are the same.Fortunately, our Baoyu wears filial piety. If we wear the same clothes, we won't be able to recognize them for a while.When Zicuckoo in Neizhong was infatuated for a while, she thought of Daiyu and said in her heart, "it's a pity that Miss Lin is dead. If she doesn't die, she will match Zhen Baoyu with her. I'm afraid she is willing."Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Mrs. Zhen say, "I heard our master come back the day before yesterday and say that our Baoyu is getting old, so I beg the master here to pay attention to a marriage."Mrs. Wang was in love with Zhen Baoyu, and said casually: "I also want to fight with your son."There are four girls in my family. Needless to say, the three are dead and married.There is also the sister of our eldest nephew Zhen, who is just a few years younger, so I am afraid it is difficult to match.On the contrary, the two cousins ​​of our eldest daughter-in-law are well-born, and the second girl has already been betrothed to others, and the third girl is just a match for the son-in-law.One day, I will be a matchmaker for your son.But her family's financial situation is worse now.Mrs. Zhen said: Madam, this is being polite again.What else is in our house today?I'm afraid people think we are poor.Mrs. Wang said: "Now the mansion is on a business trip again. In the future, it will not only return to the old days, but will become even more prosperous than before."Mrs. Zhen smiled and said: I hope it would be better to follow my wife's advice.In this way, I begged my wife to be a Baoshan.Zhen Baoyu left when he heard them talking about their marriage.Jia Baoyu and others had no choice but to accompany them to the study.Seeing that Jia Zheng was already there, he said a few more words.Hearing people from the Zhen family going back and forth, Zhen Baoyu said: "My wife is leaving, please go back."So Zhen Baoyu said goodbye.Jia Zheng ordered Baoyu, Huan and Lan to send them off.do not mention. Let's say that since Baoyu met Zhen Baoyu's father that day, he knew that Zhen Baoyu had come to Beijing, and he looked forward to it day and night.When we met today, I wanted to find a confidant, but after talking for a long time, I was a little bit reluctant.He went back to his room in a dull mood, neither speaking nor smiling, just staring in a daze.Baochai asked, "Is Zhen Baoyu really like you?"Baoyu said: "The appearance is still the same."It's just that during the conversation, it seems that he doesn't know anything, but he is also a beetle.Baochai said, "You have made up another family."How can it be seen that he is also a beetle?Baoyu said: "He talked for a long time, but he didn't have a clear talk, but he said something economical, and he said loyalty and filial piety. Isn't such a person a lu beetle?"It's a pity that he also had such a look.I thought, with him, I would not even want my appearance.Seeing that he was in a daze again, Baochai said, "You really said something to make people laugh. How can you not want this look?"What's more, what he said is justified, as a man, he should have made a name for himself, who is as tender and selfish as you.Don't say that I am not strong, but say that others are lu beetles.Baoyu was very impatient when he heard Zhen Baoyu's words, and was robbed by Baochai again.Baochai didn't know, but he thought my words were wrong, so he sneered and ignored him.Unexpectedly, he was in a daze that day, Xiren waited to vomit him, and did not speak.After a night, when I woke up the next day, I was just in a daze, as if I had the previous illness. One day, Mrs. Wang told Jia Zheng because Xichun was going to be strangled to leave home, and Youshi could not stop her. Seeing Xichun's appearance, she would commit suicide if she did not obey her.Jia Zheng sighed and stomped his feet, and said: "I don't know what happened in the East Mansion to make such a noise!"I called Jia Rong to talk about it, and told him to tell his mother: Seriously persuasion and persuasion.If this is necessary, she is no longer a girl in our family.Unexpectedly, it's okay if Youshi doesn't persuade her, but once she persuades her, she will even seek death, saying: If you are a girl, you will never be able to stay at home for the rest of your life. If you are like the second sister, the masters and wives will be worried, let alone die.Now, for example, as if I were dead, let me go out of the house, and for a clean life, they just love me.Besides, I don't go out, because Changcui Temple was originally the foundation of our family, and I practiced there.You can take care of what I have.Now Miaoyu's head is there.If you obey me, I will die; if you don't obey me, I can't do anything but die.If I had fulfilled my wish, when my elder brother came back, I told him that you did not force me. If you said that I was dead, it would mean that my elder brother would come back, but that you would not allow me.Youshi didn't get along with Xichun at first, and it seemed reasonable to listen to her words, so he had to go back to Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang has gone to Baochai's place. Seeing that Baoyu's soul is lost, she is very busy, so she said: "You are so careless. The second master is sick and doesn't come back to me."Xi Rendao: Erye's illness is a common occurrence, sometimes it gets better and sometimes it doesn't.Every day when I go to my wife's place, I still go to greet her. It's a good thing, but I'm a little confused today.The second mistress was about to go back and forth with his wife, for fear that the wife would say that we made a fuss.When Baoyu heard Mrs. Wang talking about them, he realized for a moment that he was afraid they would be wronged, so he said, "don't worry, madam, I'm not sick, but I feel a little stuffy in my heart."Mrs. Wang said: "You have the root cause of this disease. I told you earlier, so I can ask the doctor to take a look. Will you be cured after taking two doses of medicine?"If you make a fuss again and lose jade in your head, it will be troublesome.Baoyu said: "My wife is worried, so I ask someone to come and have a look, and I will take medicine."Mrs. Wang asked the girl to send a message to invite the doctor.All this thought was on Baoyu, so he forgot about Xichun.After a while, the doctor saw it and took the medicine.Mrs. Wang went back. After a few days, Baoyu became even more confused, and even couldn't eat, and everyone became anxious.Just too busy taking off his filial piety, there was no one at home, so he called Jia Yun to take care of the doctor.There was no one in Jia Lian's family, so Wang Ren was invited to help with cooking outside.Sister Qiao is crying for her mother day and night, and she is also sick.So there was a lot of trouble in the Rong Mansion. One day, when she came home again after taking off her filial piety, Mrs. Wang went to see Baoyu in person again. Seeing that Baoyu was not awake, everyone was so anxious that they were at a loss.While weeping, he told Jia Zheng: "The doctor has returned and refused to prescribe medicine, so I had to prepare for the funeral."Jia Zheng sighed again and again, so he had to take a look at it himself. Seeing that the situation was really bad, he asked Jia Lian to do it again.Jia Lian didn't dare to disobey, so he had to ask someone to take care of him.Money is short, and I am in a difficult situation, only to see a person running in and saying: Second master, it's not good!Another famine came.Jia Lian didn't know what was going on, and this bluff was no small matter. He stared and said, "What's the matter?"The boy said: "A monk came up to the door, holding this lost jade from the second master in his hand, and said that he wanted 10,000 rewards in silver."Jia Lian spat in his face, "What am I looking at, so flustered!"Didn't you know the fake one before?It's true, now that people are dying, what do you want this jade for!The boy said: "The servant also said, the monk said that it would be fine to give him the money."Then he heard the yelling coming in from outside and said: "This monk is playing wild, and each of them ran in. Everyone can't stop him."Jia Lian said, "where is there such a strange thing?"Hurry up and call out!Just as they were making a fuss, Jia Zheng heard it and lost his mind.I cried again inside, saying: Second Master Bao is not good!Jia Zheng became more anxious.I saw the monk yelling: "Bring me the money!"Jia Zheng suddenly remembered: Baoyu's illness in his head was cured by the monk. Now the monk will come, or there may be a savior.But if the jade is real, what if he asks for silver?After thinking about it for a while: Let's just ignore him, let's talk about it if the real person recovers. Jia Zheng asked someone to invite him, but the monk had already come in, and he ran in without saluting or answering.Jia Lian pulled and said: "The inside is full of family members. Why are you running around like a wild thing!"The monk said: "If it's too late, we can't save it!"Jia Lian walked away in a hurry, shouting, "Don't cry, the monks are coming in!"Mrs. Wang and others were only concerned with crying, so they didn't pay attention.Jia Lian came close and yelled again. Mrs. Wang turned her head and saw a grown monk. She was startled and couldn't dodge.The monk went straight to the Baoyu Kang, but Baochai avoided it. Seeing Mrs. Wang standing, Xiren dared not move away.I saw the monk said: Donors, I am here to send jade.As he said, he held the piece of jade and said: "Get out the silver quickly!"I want to save him.Mrs. Wang was in a panic, and she didn't choose the truth or the false, so she said: "If you save someone, you will have some money."The monk smiled and said: "Bring it!"Mrs. Wang said: "Don't worry, it will come out anyway."The monk laughed loudly, holding the jade in his hand and shouting in Baoyu's ear: "Baoyu, Baoyu!"Your precious jade is back.After saying this, Mrs. Wang opened her eyes when she saw Baoyu.The attacker said, "Okay!"Seeing Baoyu, he asked, "Where is it?"The monk handed the jade to him.Baoyu held it tightly before, but then he slowly got over it, put it in front of his eyes and looked carefully, and said, "Oh, it's been a long time!"Everyone inside and outside likes to chant the Buddha's name, and even Baochai doesn't care about having a monk.Jia Lian also came over to have a look. When he saw Baoyu come back, he was so happy that he hid in a hurry. The monk didn't say a word, but rushed to drag Jia Lian and ran away.Jia Lian had no choice but to follow. When he got to the front, he rushed to tell Jia Zheng.Jia Zheng liked it when he heard it, so he went to the monk to salute and kowtow.The monk returned the gift and sat down.Jia Lian was suspicious: he must have asked for money before leaving.Jia Zheng looked at the monk carefully, and it was not the last time he saw him, so he asked, "Where is the treasure temple?"Mage Queen?Where did you get this jade?How can a child come to life as soon as he sees it?The monk smiled slightly and said: "I don't know either, as long as I bring 10,000 silver, it will be over."Seeing that the monk was rude, Jia Zheng didn't dare to offend him, so he said, "Yes."The monk said: "If you have it, bring it quickly, I'm leaving."Jia Zheng said, "Please sit down a bit and wait for me to come in and have a look."The monk said: "Go, come out quickly." Sure enough, Jia Zheng went in, and before he could tell, he walked to Baoyu Kang.Seeing that it was his father, Baoyu wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up because of his weakness.Mrs. Wang pressed it and said: Don't move.Baoyu smiled, showed Jia Zheng the jade, and said, "Baoyu is here."Jia Zheng took a look at it and knew that there were some sources of the matter, so he didn't look at it carefully, so he said to Mrs. Wang, "Baoyu is well."How about this silver reward?Mrs. Wang said: "Just give him all I can do."Baoyu said, "I'm afraid this monk doesn't want money?"Jia Zheng nodded and said: I also look weird, but he keeps asking for money.Mrs. Wang said: "Master, go out and save the money first." When Jia Zheng came out, Baoyu yelled that he was hungry, drank a bowl of porridge and begged for food.Sure enough, the women brought the food, but Mrs. Wang dared not give it to him.Baoyu said, "It doesn't matter. I'm ready."So he crawled and ate a bowl, and gradually he looked better, so he wanted to sit up.Musk Moon went up and gently lifted her up, because she liked it in her heart and forgot about her love, she said, "What a treasure!"Just saw it for a while, and it was fine.Fortunately, it was not smashed at the beginning!When Baoyu heard this, his expression changed, he put Yuyi down, and leaned back.It is unknown whether it is dead or alive, and it will be broken down next time.
