~21 min read 4,166 words

Rongguo Prefecture, Rongqing Hall.

The people in the hall were talking harmoniously, the words were elegant, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but hearing someone shouting loudly, they all looked toward the hall entrance.

Sister Miao Yu had been accompanied by blue lamps and ancient Buddhas since she was a child, and she liked quiet and elegance, but suddenly hearing the noisy sound, she subconsciously felt unhappy.

The grandmother and sisters of the Yuzhang family were all humble and polite, and their words were warm, where did this person come from, so presumptuous and rude.

Although she only said two sentences, the impetuous, light and crazy, vulgar and hypocritical, were obvious, the voice was sharp, trembling slightly and frivolous, making people disgusted.

Yingchun saw Baoyu suddenly break in, and thinking of the day Ping'er entered the hall to salute, her eyebrows frowned, and she felt worried in her heart.

The Rongqing Hall of the old lady was a bit loose, today there were female guests visiting, and the women in the family were accompanying them.

There was no experienced old woman guarding the outside of the hall, why did Bao brother break in straight again, don't make a joke again.

Daiyu saw that it was Baoyu who came in, wearing a fire red, which looked a bit dazzling, and saw that although he was talking, his eyes kept glancing at Sister Miao Yu.

She knew Baoyu's temperament well, how could she not know his thoughts, she felt disgusted in her heart, and turned her pretty face away, not wanting to look at him.

Seeing Tan Chun saw Baoyu suddenly break in, with an excited look, and couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.

She was afraid that Baoyu would show off again, say some inexplicable words, if he offended Sister Miao Yu's master and disciple, everyone in the hall would have no face.

At this moment, Baoyu's gaze could no longer be suppressed, and he was attracted by the new girl in the hall.

He saw Sister Miao Yu in a black coat, elegant and dignified, cold and otherworldly, beautiful as a fairy, really like a Guanyin in a painting, there is such a beautiful person in the world.

Although he was talking to Jia Mu, his eyes couldn't help but glance around, peeking at Sister Miao Yu's beautiful face.

……

Sister Miao Yu saw that the person who spoke called Jia Mu the old lady, he must be a brother of the same generation as Yuzhang, but his appearance and Yuzhang could not be mentioned in the same breath.

A round, white and greasy face, although the eyebrows and eyes could be considered clear, but it was difficult to hide the manic spirit, the extravagant feeling, making people not want to look at it.

Although the robe was very gorgeous, it was a piece of red and golden, more gorgeous than the Vajra worshipped in the nunnery, making people dizzy.

The bright red inlaid seven-treasure jade belt on the waist, although the style was rich and beautiful, it was tied loosely, vaguely revealing a round waist.

Sister Miao Yu thought of Jia Cong's peerless demeanor like jade trees and orchids, they should be brothers of the same line, how could there be such a difference between heaven and earth.

I think the Jia family is a big family, this brother of Yuzhang's family, the daily soup and food are afraid of being extremely good……

She also remembered that her master vomited blood to measure Yuzhang's life, and calculated that Yuzhang's bloodline was suspicious.

She was terrified because of this, and didn't know how many disaster-relief scriptures she had chanted for him.

Today, seeing the Jia family's children like this, there is no one-ten-thousandth of his heroic and outstanding demeanor.

The bloodline is different, standing out from the crowd, could it be that he is really not a child of the Jia family?

She also saw Baoyu always peeking at herself, his soul and spirit were given, quite disgusting, her pretty face sank, and she turned into an ice beauty again.

Master Xiushan, who was beside her, was old and wise, and naturally saw that the boy who entered the hall looked at her disciple with eyes that were quite inappropriate, and she felt a bit unhappy in her heart.

……

Jia Mu smiled: "You came just right, there are honored guests in the family today, you should pay a courtesy.

This is Master Xiushan of the Mouni Nunnery in the North City, and her high disciple Master Sister Miao Yu, they are Zhi Shao's master and sister.

Because the Buddhist temple is reshaping the golden body, they need to stay in the mansion for a few days, they are all high-ranking people, come and pay respects quickly."

Baoyu heard the name Master Xiushan, and his brain seemed to automatically filter it.

Only the words Master Sister Miao Yu knocked like a gong and drum in his brain, and he remembered it instantly.

He was moved and happy in his heart, Sister Miao Yu, it is really a good name, only such an otherworldly fragrant name can match this beautiful person.

God really didn't treat me badly, and he also understood my heart, actually letting me see such an outstanding daughter, even if I died immediately, it would be worth it.

Hearing that they were going to stay in the mansion, Baoyu was even more ecstatic, and made up his mind to get close to Sister Miao Yu by this, and the things he helped didn't matter.

Baoyu first saluted Master Xiushan, and then saluted Sister Miao Yu, Sister Miao Yu, because of her peer, had to get up and return the salute with her hands together.

Baoyu saw that although her expression was cold, her demeanor was graceful, it was really good, and he couldn't help but want to show off in his excitement.

He said: "I look at Sister Miao Yu sister and feel familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere, since she came to the mansion to stay, it is really no better."

Daiyu heard Baoyu's words, her eyebrows frowned, thinking of that year, she couldn't help but shiver, feeling very disgusted in her heart.

And heard Baoyu say: "Old lady, since the Master and Sister Miao Yu sister are staying, I thought of a place, which is extremely appropriate.

The eldest sister-in-law's courtyard has been empty, everything inside and outside is ready-made, why not live there, isn't it good."

……

When Baoyu said this, everyone in the hall had strange expressions, they all knew Baoyu's temperament, who didn't know what he was thinking.

In the first year Daiyu came to the Jia Mansion, because she was young, Jia Mu arranged for her to live in the Bisha Kitchen in the Rongqing Hall, and Baoyu moved outside the Bisha Kitchen.

In the spring of the following year, the two moved out of the Rongqing Hall and were arranged by Jia Mu to live in their own courtyards.

Behind the courtyard where Baoyu lived was the courtyard of the eldest sister-in-law Li Wan, and the two courtyards were less than a hundred steps apart.

Baoyu asked Jia Mu to arrange Sister Miao Yu's master and disciple here, and his intentions were self-evident.

Daiyu saw Baoyu talking to himself, thinking he was right, and felt contemptuous in her heart, and didn't even want to speak.

Yingchun couldn't help it, just about to speak, but heard Sister Miao Yu's cold voice say: "Don't bother, Yuzhang has already arranged a place for me and the Master."

Sister Miao Yu saw Baoyu's rude gaze, and felt very disgusted with this person in her heart.

She was a person who practiced asceticism, this person called her sister one by one in front of everyone, what kind of system is this, it's so disgusting.

Although Sister Miao Yu was cold and eccentric, she was in the presence of elders, and thinking that this was Jia Cong's residence, she endured it a little.

It's just that Baoyu was still talking to himself, arranging a place for her, so she couldn't help but speak out to refute.

Baoyu heard Sister Miao Yu reject his kindness, and felt a bit aggrieved, and didn't react for a while, who is Yuzhang?

……

Because when Jia Cong was at home, the maids only called him Third Young Master, the sisters called him Third Brother or Cong brother, and Jia Mu and Jia Zheng only called him Cong Ge'er.

No one had ever called him by his courtesy name, Baoyu looked down on this salary-worm Jia Cong, the two rarely interacted, and didn't pay attention to his courtesy name.

So he didn't react for a while, what kind of thing is the Yuzhang in her mouth, and he is worthy of arranging a place for Sister Miao Yu.

Suddenly heard Yingchun say: "Master Xiushan and Sister Miao Yu girl are Zhi Shao's master and relative, and are honored guests specially invited by Cong brother.

They have already been arranged in the courtyard on the south slope of the East Mansion, Cong brother will definitely treat them well, Bao brother doesn't need to worry."

Baoyu heard this, his face was extremely embarrassed, and he realized that the Yuzhang Sister Miao Yu said was Jia Cong's courtesy name.

Since they are Zhi Shao's master and relative, Jia Cong invited them, Baoyu was unconvinced in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

It's just that this extremely outstanding Sister Miao Yu sister, how could she call Jia Cong by his courtesy name directly, and say it so righteously, revealing an indescribable intimacy.

They seemed to have a relationship, it must be that Jia Cong borrowed Zhi Shao's relationship, saw her senior sister was beautiful, and hooked up with her early.

Baoyu shouted in his heart, this Jia Cong is really shameless, how many daughters does he have to harm, why doesn't God collect this kind of lustful salary-worm.

He arranged people to live in the East Mansion, and set the dog fart rule that outside males cannot enter, how can he get close to her, Baoyu was infinitely tragic in his heart.

It was not easy for an outstanding daughter to come to the family, but she was occupied by Jia Cong again, it was really abominable!

……

Jia Mu saw Baoyu say embarrassing words again, somewhat overstepping his authority, her second granddaughter's words were clearly protecting Cong brother.

She was worried that Baoyu didn't understand the world, and made a joke again, and if both sides had no face, she hurriedly changed the subject.

Smiled at Master Xiushan: "Master, don't laugh, my Baoyu is a solid person, and he is always enthusiastic and filial, always thinking of what he says."

Master Xiushan looked at Baoyu, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Indifferently smiled: "Old lady, you are serious, I have seen Yuzhang's excellence, I didn't expect the grandchildren raised by the old lady to be not vulgar.

I see Baoyu is about the same age as Yuzhang, but his eyebrows have already given birth to the aura of red luan, newborn and vigorous, can harmonize the fate of gold and jade, has he set a marriage alliance recently?"

Baoyu heard this, his face was pale, ashamed and angry, this old nun was really a dead fish eye, actually learning from others to talk about marriage and children.

And it was in front of the fairy-like Sister Miao Yu, losing all his face, how can he get close in the future, it's better to die!

……

Not to mention Baoyu's tragic anger, everyone else in the hall was shocked, this Master is really a god-man.

Jia Mu was full of surprise and said: "Master was still humble just now, now I know the rumors are not false, Master's divine calculation, it is really magical!"

Xue Yima was most proficient in the theory of gold and jade, and at this time was also shocked.

Suddenly said: "Old lady, Master only looked at Baoyu once, and could calculate Baoyu's new marriage, and could also say that Baoyu has a fate of gold and jade.

The Xia girl Baoyu is engaged to, her name is Jingui, just matching Baoyu's fate of gold and jade, Master's calculation is foolproof, really magical!"

Everyone thought carefully, Xue Yima's words were correct, originally it was circulating in the mansion, everyone said it was a fate of gold and jade, it really made sense.

It turned out that it was not on Baochai, but on Xia Jingui, seamless, perfect match.

Baochai smiled, feeling happy and relieved in her heart, she knew why her mother took the opportunity to render this matter.

It was nothing more than taking this opportunity to completely clear the relationship between herself and Baoyu, cutting off the rumors between the two mansions, and making her reputation more and more flawless.

……

Yingchun saw everyone in the hall showing a sudden realization, and couldn't help but move slightly in her heart.

Thinking of the affection between her Cong brother and Lin sister, and the affectionate look of Baochai when the brother and sister were eating in the Lixiang Courtyard that day.

Yingchun put all her thoughts on Jia Cong, and out of love for the house and its crow, she felt protective of any girl who was close to her brother.

In the beginning, she saw Zhen Fangqing was infatuated with Jia Cong, and felt that this girl was very good, and after knowing the grievances between the Jia and Zhen families, she felt sorry for her brother in her heart.

Zhen Fangqing was just a daughter of an outside family, just because she had a relationship with her brother, she would have the idea of recruiting.

Not to mention the sisters who had sisterly affection, Daiyu and Baochai, both of whom were rare in the world, and their talent and appearance could match her brother.

Yingchun didn't care whether her brother would have a headache in the future, men have three wives and four concubines, harmony, it is the common principle of the world, big families are all like this.

Moreover, her brother was so outstanding in the world, he should get the best in the world.

In short, it was definitely not wrong to pull the outstanding girls to her brother's side, so as not to leave any regrets in his life.

Moreover, the eldest master had passed away, and the eldest mistress no longer managed affairs, even if she had that thought, she would never give Cong brother love.

There were only two sisters in the world who depended on each other, she was a sister who didn't love her brother, and didn't plan for her brother, who else would plan for him.

……

This year Yingchun saw many things and saw Baoyu's impropriety, nothing more than being jealous of the outstanding women around Cong brother.

Last time Baoyu stopped Ping'er from entering her brother's room, it was just a glimpse of the leopard, Yingchun also heard rumors that Baoyu had thoughts about Wuer.

In these two years, not only did he talk about the maids around Cong brother, but Baoyu never broke his obsession with Lin sister and Baochai sister.

Even if he was engaged now, he didn't give up.

Yingchun thought of Xue Yima's words just now, which had already brought out the topic, so she might as well push the boat along.

Let Baoyu settle his marriage early, go out to establish a family early, so that he wouldn't always miss her brother's things.

……

Yingchun said: "Old lady, we never thought that there would be such a connection, Master Xiushan's magical powers are mysterious, breaking through the heavenly secrets.

Aunt is experienced and sophisticated, one word hits the point, looking at it this way, Bao brother is a destined marriage, and his fortune is extraordinary.

This marriage should be settled early, it is really a good omen for the family, and it is not in vain for the old lady to love Bao brother."

Master Xiushan heard Yingchun's words, her eyes looked at her, as if she realized something, smiled slightly, and took a sip of the tea in her hand.

Jia Mu was happy when she heard this, she couldn't wait for Baoyu to get married early, and have children early, and she had the fortune to hold her great-grandson again.

Smiled: "It's still the second girl's words that are pleasant, now she is also a person who manages the mansion, really opened her eyes and gained knowledge.

The Xia family matchmaker has been walking around the East Courtyard these few days, and is discussing the marriage date with Baoyu's mother, and the auspicious time will be set in these few days.

The Rongguo Prefecture hasn't had a wedding joy for many years, this time it must be lively."

……

Jia Mu smiled and asked Master Xiushan: "Master is a high-ranking person in the world, with deep cultivation, everything is clear, since you see my Baoyu has a fate of gold and jade.

I wonder if this marriage of his is smooth, and whether his descendants will be prosperous in the future?"

Master Xiushan was stunned when she heard Jia Mu's words, and her eyes flickered.

Pondered and said: "Old lady, although the poor nun sees some complexion, marriage matters, there are fixed numbers and variables, confusing, and difficult to know everything.

The poor nun's cultivation is limited, she can only look at the surface, but cannot judge the inside, but the Jia family's fortune is not shallow, and the family's descendants are prosperous, which is all common sense, no need to worry too much."

Jia Mu didn't hear the result she wanted, and felt a bit disappointed in her heart, but didn't care too much.

Although Master Xiushan had magical powers, she was not a living god after all, how could she calculate everything clearly.

Jia Mu was also a refined person, knowing the taboos of Taoist people, leaking too many heavenly secrets, and having to lose life, so it was not easy to force others.

Moreover, Master Xiushan also said that the Jia family's fortune was not shallow, and the family's descendants were prosperous, which was enough.

……

At this time, Baoyu was pale with anger, but Jia Mu and Master Xiushan were talking harmoniously, and didn't notice, but others were as if they didn't see it.

He entered the hall happily, saw Sister Miao Yu's beauty, praised the world's Zhong Lingyuxiu, how happy and excited, how many thoughts.

Unexpectedly, he didn't say a few words, and Sister Miao Yu gave him a cold face, his heart was infinitely tragic and painful.

Sure enough, he, a vulgar thing, could not be favored by this wonderful daughter, if there is an afterlife, he must not be this stupid thing with a dirty mouth.

Let me also be a girl, and accompany these wonderful characters, don't be as difficult as this life……

It's just that this is also fine, but what makes him angry is that the old nun suddenly talked about marriage.

Provoking everyone in the hall to tease him, engagement, marriage, union, descendants, all kinds of dog fart words came to talk.

He just got to know a character like Sister Miao Yu, and he became a married man in front of her.

The world's etiquette is rotten, Sister Miao Yu, this wonderful character, will definitely avoid him like a tiger from now on, these people really harmed me!

……

Baoyu was ashamed and angry, and wanted to make a scene, but now the mistress was not there, so there was less pity.

There were outside female guests in the hall, if he made a move, he would scare away the fairy-like Sister Miao Yu, which was really not worth the loss.

The so-called person who knows the current affairs is a hero, Baoyu suppressed his anger in his heart,

Abbess Xiushan sat for the time it takes to drink four or five cups of tea, accompanied Grandmother Jia in idle chatter, and fulfilled the courtesies of a visitor.

She then politely declined Grandmother Jia's invitation to stay for a vegetarian meal and took Miao Yu to rise and take her leave, with Yingchun, Lin Daiyu, and the other sisters all accompanying them back to the East Prefecture.

Baoyu watched Miao Yu's slender and graceful back, feeling quite reluctant to let her go, but he dared not follow.

Lest he be stopped outside the small gate of the East Prefecture by two foul-mouthed old women and lose all face in front of the beauty.

……

Baoyu returned to his own courtyard in low spirits, and halfway there, he encountered Lady Wang coming head-on, followed by the maid Yu Chuan.

Seeing his mother's gloomy expression and seemingly heavy heart, she hurriedly called out to him when she saw him.

She said: "Baoyu, do not wander around these next few days. Stay steadily in your own courtyard. You are someone about to be married; learn to be more steady."

Baoyu had suffered repeated blows at Rongqing Hall and was feeling extremely uncomfortable inside.

Lady Wang's mention of him being someone about to be married struck another heavy blow to his heart; he wanted to cry but had no tears, and his suffering was beyond words.

But now that Grandmother Jia was not by his side, he dared not vent his anger on his mother, so he could only agree with a submissive nod and return to his courtyard with a scattered gait.

Lady Wang entered Rongqing Hall and saw several maids cleaning up tea sets; it seemed the hall had just finished hosting guests.

Fortunately, the people had left and the hall was empty, with only Sister Yuanyang gently pounding Grandmother Jia's legs.

Lady Wang forced herself to produce a smile and tried hard to make it appear more joyful.

She smiled and said: "Grandmother, this morning Mrs. Xia personally brought a matchmaker to the East Courtyard to discuss the wedding date for the two families, and now Baoyu's wedding day has been set.

It is on the tenth day of the third lunar month next year. We have already asked the Daoist priest Zhang at Qingxu Temple to divine for an auspicious day; it is a top-tier auspicious day, most suitable for marriage and adding offspring."

Grandmother Jia was happy to hear that Baoyu's wedding date had been set, but she was slightly puzzled.

She asked: "Didn't I send an old woman to help out a few days ago, saying it was to be set for the first month of the coming year? It is only the tenth month now; two months is enough time to prepare for the wedding."

Lady Wang's expression stiffened slightly, and she hurriedly said: "It was originally set for the first month of the coming year, but the weather is cold after the new year, and it always feels unsuitable for all matters.

Waiting until the third month brings the warmth of spring and blooming flowers, which is more suitable for Baoyu to take a wife and add offspring. Mrs. Xia and I share the same opinion, so we set this time."

Grandmother Jia smiled: "Your two families are quite calm. I wanted to take in a granddaughter-in-law sooner, but that is fine; the third month it is."

……

Lady Wang saw that Grandmother Jia spoke lightly, but her own heart was a mix of five flavors.

A few days ago, when the matchmaker came to discuss the wedding date, the date proposed was also the first month of next year, but Lady Wang hesitated repeatedly and did not confirm it.

This morning, when Mrs. Xia personally brought the matchmaker, Lady Wang sensed that if she delayed any further, the Xia family would surely become suspicious.

At this moment, Lady Wang was riding a tiger and could not get off, so she had to seriously discuss the wedding date with Mrs. Xia.

Originally, Mrs. Xia favored the fifth day of the first lunar month, but it was Lady Wang who used various excuses and reasons to set the wedding day for the tenth of the third month.

As for what use delaying the wedding date by two months would have, because there had been no movement from the East Courtyard to this day, Lady Wang had no confidence at all.

At the very least, it would delay the exposure of Baoyu's shameful secret by two months. Whether it was drinking poison to quench thirst or lingering on in a desperate situation, she could drag it out one day at a time.

With the wedding date set by both families, the arrow was on the string and the paper could not wrap the fire. Lady Wang could only bite the bullet and go to Rongqing Hall to tell Grandmother Jia the good news.
