Chapter 26 The Red Mansion
Chapter 26 The Red Mansion
When Jia Zheng went to Jia's mother's yard, he saw Jia Baoyu and immediately scolded him with a scowling face.Said that if he has no rules in the future, he will be picked up by others at will, even if the old lady is protecting him, his father will not spare him lightly.
Jia Baoyu was very afraid of Jia Zheng.Suddenly being reprimanded by his father, he was terrified.
When Jia's mother learned that Jia Zheng scolded Jia Baoyu again, she scolded his son without asking him, and then asked Jia Baoyu to retreat.
Like Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng didn't like Jia's mother doting too much on Jia Baoyu, but as sons and daughter-in-laws, it was difficult for them to say anything about Jia's mother, but what happened today was too much. If they didn't say anything, they would offend their brother-in-law.
"Mother, Baoyu is so unruly, you can't pamper him like this anymore."
Mother Jia is not happy to hear that her precious grandson is not good, even if it is her son.When she heard Jia Zheng say that about Jia Baoyu, she immediately lowered her face: "Where does Baoyu have no rules?"
"Choose characters for others at will, that's not the rule." When Jia Lian said this just now, Jia Zheng was so angry that his lungs would explode.He always knew that Baoyu was messing around, but he didn't expect Baoyu to be so rude.Brother Huai and the others were so humiliated by Baoyu when they visited for the first time. Instead of blaming Baoyu, mother complained and blamed Brother Huai.
He has always respected and filial mother. In terms of Baoyu's education, he wanted to intervene in the discipline, but his mother refused. He didn't want to offend her, so he followed her. But today's matter, he must not allow his mother to be so partial.
"It's just a kid's joke."
"Mother!" Jia Zheng couldn't help but raised his voice, "This is not a joke among children, this is to humiliate Brother Huai and the others. If it were Baoyu who was randomly selected by Brother Huai, what would you think?"
Seeing that her youngest son looked very serious, Mother Jia was a little frightened.She had never seen her younger son look so serious, after all, he had always been very obedient and filial in front of her.
"Today is Brother Huai's first visit to the mansion, the first time they have come to visit us, but Baoyu gave them words at will." Jia Zheng didn't expect that Jia's mother would favor Jia Baoyu to such an extent. If there is lawlessness, there will be a catastrophe at that time. "To put it lightly, Baoyu has no rules. To put it mildly, Baoyu is humiliating Brother Huai and her brother-in-law."
"Humiliation?" Mother Jia didn't understand how it became a "humiliation".
"Since ancient times, characters have been bestowed by the elders. Baoyu gave characters to Brother Huai and the others at will, which is humiliating." A child was humiliated when he came to our house for the first time, what would my brother-in-law think?"
"It's just a joke among children, my uncle won't care about it..."
Hearing what Jia's mother said, Jia Zheng said in a deep voice: "Mother, this is not a joke. My sister is gone. If you allow Baoyu to treat Brother Huai and the others so rudely, my brother-in-law will definitely alienate us in the future."
"Grandpa won't do that..."
"Yes! After two years, my brother-in-law will reunite and have a new Yue family. Do you think he will still be close to us?" Jia Zheng was really going to be mad at Jia Mu, "Brother Huai and the others came to visit us for the first time. , was not only humiliated by Baoyu, but also blamed by you, what do you think my brother-in-law thinks that this matter has reached my brother-in-law's ears? My brother-in-law will think that we deliberately humiliated his son and daughter!"
Mother Jia was frightened by the angry appearance of her youngest son, and didn't dare to say anything for a while.
"I heard from Lian'er that my brother-in-law was worried that the two children would be wronged by us, so he wrote a letter to his friend Ye Daren, the head of the Hanlin Academy. Take care of Brother Huai and the others.” Jia Zheng didn’t expect that his brother-in-law and the head of the Imperial Academy are good friends and have been in contact all along, “Today you indulged Baoyu to humiliate Brother Huai and the others, and blamed Brother Huai for being ignorant and only Tell Brother Huai and the others to move to live with Master Ye. By then, when this matter gets out, what do you think others think of us?"
Mother Jia didn't speak.
"People in the entire capital will think that our Rongguo Mansion has no rules and no etiquette. If this matter spreads to the palace, how do you think the emperor will treat us? How will Yuanchun behave in the palace?"
Jia Zheng originally had great expectations for Jia Baoyu's son, hoping that he could revive the Rongguo Mansion, but in the past two years, seeing him spoiled by Jia's mother, he became more and more mischievous.He didn't have any hope for this son, and pinned his hopes of revitalizing the Rongguo Mansion on the daughter in the palace.
"My brother-in-law has always been close to us. He has helped us a lot over the years. If this matter separates my brother-in-law from us and we will never see each other again, how can you let my sister feel at ease under the nine springs?" Jia Zheng sometimes I really want to know what ecstasy soup Baoyu poured into the old lady, making the old lady so ignorant, "If my sister is here today, what do you think my sister will think?"
What Jia Zheng said made Jia's mother speechless, and she couldn't help but regret it.She originally thought it was a joke between Baoyu and Brother Huai, a joke between children, so don't take it seriously.However, after hearing Jia Zheng say the seriousness of the matter, she realized that she was wrong.
"Mother, Brother Huai and the others are going to Lord Ye's place tomorrow morning, and maybe they won't come back after they go. If you still think that Baoyu is right, it is Brother Huai who is wrong, and my son has nothing to say."
"This...you can't let Brother Huai and the others live in Lord Ye's mansion." At this moment, Jia Mu finally realized the seriousness of the matter, "Let Baoyu go and apologize to Brother Huai and the others later."
Seeing that Jia's mother listened to his words, Jia Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.He was really afraid that his mother would not listen.
"Mother, Baoyu must not be allowed to be so unruly in the future, otherwise he will definitely cause trouble in the future and bring trouble to the mansion."
"Okay, I'll tell Baoyu."
"Brother Huai and the others, mother, you..." Jia Zheng couldn't say anything more.
Mother Jia understood what Jia Zheng meant, "Don't worry, I won't let Brother Huai and the others move out of the house."
With Jia's mother's words, Jia Zheng felt relieved.He stood up and bowed to Jia Mu: "Mother, just now my son's tone was not flattering, I hope you don't blame him."
"You're right, I was confused." Mother Jia sighed softly, "I thought it was a joke among children, and I forgot that uncle values rules and etiquette."
"Mother, my brother-in-law has always attached great importance to rules and etiquette. Under his strict teaching, Brother Huai and the others naturally dare not slack off in terms of rules and etiquette." Jia Zheng felt that Lin Ruhai was right to attach so much importance to rules and etiquette. On the one hand, they can't tolerate the slightest joke."
"Oh... my uncle is too strict."
"It's good that my brother-in-law is so strict. Brother Huai knows the rules and etiquette, and he is also very smart in reading. In the future, he will definitely be able to get the same honor as his brother-in-law." Jia Zheng has a very good impression of Lin Huaiyu, a nephew.To be precise, Lin Huaiyu was the son he wanted.He always hoped that Jia Baoyu could be like Lin Huaiyu.
Mother Jia didn't say anything else, she let Jia Zheng leave first, and then she asked Yuanyang to call Jia Baoyu over.
Jia Baoyu was frightened by Jia Zheng before, and he still hasn't recovered.Mother Jia asked him to go to Jinhuatang to apologize to Lin Huaiyu and the others later, and also told him not to take words for others in the future.
He didn't understand what was wrong with taking characters for others, but he still listened to what Jiamu said, and followed Yuanyang to Jinhuatang to apologize.
"Miss Yuanyang, my young master and young lady took a rest not long ago."
"If that's the case, then we'll come back later." Yuanyang said politely, "When Master Lin and Miss Lin wake up, Madam Zhang, please tell me that our Second Master Bao knew that his previous behavior was too rude, so he came here to apologize, I hope Master Lin can forgive our Second Master Jiabao."
"Miss Yuanyang, don't worry, I will tell our young master what you say."
Yuanyang didn't say anything more, and left with Jia Baoyu first.Back at Jiamu's place, she told Jiamu that Nanny Zhang and the others didn't pack the luggage they brought.
"Old lady, Young Master Lin and the others didn't pack their luggage." When she went to Jinhuatang before, she keenly noticed that the boxes brought by the Lin family were randomly placed in the room. "Master Lin may think that you don't like them, that's why he plans to leave the house." Second Master Bao was wrong about this matter, and it was also wrong for the old lady to favor Second Master Bao and complain about Young Master Lin.In other words, no one can bear this anger, and it is normal for Young Master Lin and the others to leave Rongguo Mansion.
"How can I not like them, they are my grandchildren, how can I not like them."
"Old lady, you had a sullen face in front of Young Master Lin and the others, and your tone was unpleasant. Young Master Lin and the others must have thought you were angry and didn't like them." Only Yuanyang dared to say this to Jia Mu.Of course, she also dared to say this after she saw Jia Mu calm down and figured it out.
"I..." Mother Jia now figured it out, full of regret in her heart, "What do you think should be done?"
"When Young Master Lin and the others wake up, old lady, you can invite them to have dinner together." Yuanyang suggested, "At that time, you should take good care of them and let them know that your old man likes them."
"It's natural."
"While waiting for the meal, I have to ask Second Master Bao to apologize to Young Master Lin and the others." Yuanyang said, "In the final analysis, Second Master Bao was rude first."
"It is necessary for Baoyu and Brother Huai to apologize properly, so that there is no rift between their cousins."
Jia Baoyu's choice of words to annoy Lin Huaiyu and the others soon spread throughout Ningrong and Rongfu.The servants of the two mansions like to chew their master's tongue behind their backs, saying Jia Baoyu's faults behind their backs, and also saying that Jia's mother is too partial to Jia Baoyu.
Knowing that Lin Huaiyu and the others were leaving Rongguo Mansion, the servants in the two mansions marveled at how "rigid" Lin Huaiyu was, and thought that this Young Master Lin was really not easy to mess with.
