Chapter 727 Remarriage [Part 1]
【Perfect attendance, perfect attendance, perfect attendance!】
October 25th, the sixth year of Longyuan, is a good time to get married.
"The first five, the last nine, kill the opponent and pay two gates."
Jiao Shun shouted, first taking away the bets from Jia Rong on the other side, and adding some to Jia Lian and Jia Yun on both sides, and then casually asked while shuffling the cards: "What time is it now?"
He usually doesn't say that he is sworn in with gambling and drugs, but he rarely touches these things. Unfortunately, he is the most distinguished guest of honor today, and he can't seem to be too unsociable, so he can only reluctantly join the table.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no more distinguished guests. For example, Wang Shuirong of Beijing came yesterday, but after nightfall, these people left one after another. Among those who stayed, he, Jiao, was the one who did his part.
occupies the top spot.
"It's early!"
Jia Lian was rarely lucky. He won thousands of taels of silver in one night. He was happy to earn more to supplement his family income, so he urged: "Hurry up and deal the cards. Someone will notify you when the time comes!"
Jia Yun quickly took out her pocket watch and glanced at it: "Godfather, it will be Yin Zheng [four o'clock in the morning] soon."
Hearing this, Jiao Shun smiled and said, "Didn't I take a photo of the old lady and the others yesterday? I guess it should be washed."
With that said, he pulled Jia Huan, who had lost all his pocket money early and could only enjoy his life on the sidelines, patted his shoulder and said, "Let Brother Huan stand in for me for a while. If I lose, it's mine, if I win, it's his."
.”
With one sentence, the delighted Jia Huan's eyes shone. Without waiting for Jia Lian's reply, he grabbed four cards and placed them in the middle. While throwing the sieve, he shouted in a familiar manner: "The cards are open, the cards are open, the dealer is at eleven o'clock."
After three days, Brother Yun, this is yours, this is Brother Lian’s, Brother Rong’s... I bet, I bet, the banker is very fat, if you don’t suffer a loss, you will be rewarded with a big bet!"
Seeing the attitude of an old gambler, Jiao Shun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He said hello to a few familiar figures and led Shuan Zhu to the darkroom.
Yesterday, Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to gather his brothers and sisters for a group photo, but because Baoyu returned to Yihongyuan early, he instead persuaded the old lady to take a group photo with Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing.
I said it was just one photo, but actually I took more than 20 photos just to be on the safe side.
After all, this Jiao Shun thing is just a beginner, and there seems to be some problems with the formula of the developer, which leads to the development time being too long, and there is also a very high proportion of defects.
Fortunately, as long as the base is large enough, a generally satisfactory finished product can be produced.
Jiao Shun worked in the darkroom for half an hour, and when he came out, it was already close to five o'clock in the morning.
The maid who grabbed a footstep and hurriedly had no idea what she was busy with asked. She learned that the old lady was already awake - Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang had also stayed up all night to support her - so she did not go back to the side hall.
, and went straight to the Rongxi Hall.
Jia Mu was sitting on the Arhat bed, obviously not as energetic as she was yesterday. She was chatting with Mrs. Wang. When she saw Jiao Shun coming in from the outside, she immediately greeted him with a smile: "Brother Shun, are you awake too? Girl Yun was sleeping yesterday.
How about it?"
"I accompanied Brother Lian and the others to promote Pai Gow all night."
Jiao Shun said with a smile: "But you know Xiangyun's temperament best. Even if the sky falls, it can be used as a quilt. Besides, there is Ping'er to take care of him."
"Look at my memory."
The old lady patted her forehead lightly. Mrs. Wang glanced at what Jiao Shun was holding and asked curiously: "But the photo was printed?"
"I've printed it out, and I was thinking of asking the old lady to check it out."
Jiao Shun said, bringing the photo to the old lady with both hands, and asked casually: "Where is Baoyu? Isn't he up yet?"
Mrs. Wang turned her head to look at the photo and said, "I should have gotten up long ago. I asked Caixia to wake up two quarters of an hour ago, but I don't know what got stuck."
With that said, he ordered Cai Luan to go and urge him.
Jia Mu put on her glasses and looked at it carefully for a while, then she exclaimed in surprise: "This is really a rare thing. Although it is not as clear as in a mercury mirror, it is ten times more realistic than the painting!"
"The reflection in the mercury mirror is clear, but it cannot retain the original appearance."
Tan Chun laughed at the side and said: "I'll take a picture of my second brother and sister Bao tomorrow. When I grow old and have children and grandchildren in my house, I can let them see what I looked like when I was young."
"This is good, this is good!"
Hearing this, the old lady clapped her hands and said: "This is something that can be kept for a lifetime, or even several lifetimes. I think it is better than any other gift. I'm really sorry that you have this intention!"
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also sang praises, and even Jia Zheng, who arrived later, had to praise a few words against his will.
At this moment, a maid quietly entered the room, leaned against the wall, walked around behind Mrs. Wang, and whispered twice.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, then she found a reason and took Jia Zheng to the courtyard outside.
"Madam, sir!"
As soon as she went out, Caixia came up to her with sweat on her face and said in a trembling voice: "Second Master, Second Master, something happened to him!"
"What?!"
Both Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng were shocked. Mrs. Wang quickly asked: "What happened? Didn't I ask Grandma Li, Xi Ren, and She Yue to follow him without leaving his side for a moment? How could something happen again?!"
Caixia said: "It was fine when I went there, but before leaving the house, the second master suddenly said he needed to go to the toilet, and then..."
But it was said that Jia Baoyu lied about needing to go to the toilet and took the opportunity to avoid the sight of the attackers, then took out a small razor from his arms that he had kept close to his body.
It was originally something Miaoyu had packed in the scriptures. It was a little smaller, but very sharp. Jia Baoyu tugged at his hair in a panic and pulled it back close to his scalp. As a result, his hair fell out, and his hair was on his scalp.
There were also more bloody wounds.
He grimaced in pain and refused to say anything, and blood dripped down his face.
From then on, Baoyu didn't dare to shave his hair all the way down, so he had to pluck his hair and cut it down strand by strand.
As time passed, he became impatient again, thinking that he had already shaved off his hair, so what was the difference between shaving more than half of it and shaving all of it?
So he simply put his palms together and walked out of the toilet.
When he entered, he was still a handsome young man, but when he came out, he turned into a scoundrel. The mere appearance of his appearance shocked the wet nurses, maids, and women opposite who were holding lanterns.
Jia Baoyu felt good about himself when he saw this, and recited the Buddha's name with a hint of elation.
He didn't even say the four words "Amitabha" in full. There was a pop on the other side. Two people fell down on their backs first. One was Xi Ren, who was concerned but confused, and the other was Baoyu's wet nurse, Aunt Li.
However, after Grandma Li fell down, she stamped her feet and beat her chest, crying, while Xiren completely stopped making any movement, which frightened She Yue and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to feel her breath.
"Second, second master!"
Because Caixia was the one who was married to Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan, she managed to stay calm and asked in a trembling voice: "What are you, what is this..."
Baoyu looked at Sheyue after exploring Xiren's breath, and he obviously breathed a sigh of relief. When Xiren was fine, he immediately returned to his "precious-faced solemn" appearance, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, I won't do it again in the future."
There are no precious stones, and some are just poor monks who have lost their nature.”
"This, this, this, this..."
Seeing that he had even taken the Buddhist title, Caixia swallowed hard and suddenly turned around and ran away: "I'll go and tell my wife!"
Then an evil wind came to Rongxi Hall.
After hearing Caixia's words, Mrs. Wang almost lost her temper, while Jia Zheng became furious and cursed the evil son, the rebellious son, and the little beast. He also ordered the family law to be taken, threatening to destroy the family members in a righteous way.
There was such a commotion, so naturally someone inside was aware of it.
So Tanchun hurriedly pulled Jiao Shun out to ask what happened. When he learned about the stupid thing Jia Baoyu had done, he couldn't help but paused and said: "How can the second brother be so ridiculous? What if this spreads out?!"
Immediately, he comforted Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng: "Father and mother, don't worry now. Let's go over and take a look. There may be a way to remedy it!"
After hearing the word 'remedial', Mrs. Wang finally stopped crying and hurriedly walked out of the hospital. However, she heard that Jia Zheng was still there urging the servants to get the family law. She turned back angrily and pointed inside and said: "You
Yell, you yell as hard as you can, you might as well call the old lady out and let her watch you do whatever you want!"
"you!"
Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and sighed for a long time: "The ancients honestly did not deceive me. It is indeed a loving mother who gave birth to a failed son!"
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, but ignored him and took Tanchun and Jiao Shun hurriedly to Yihongyuan.
When they arrived at Yihongyuan, they saw Jia Baoyu, who was suffering from dysentery, sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed. Next to him, Xiren was hugging his head and crying with Nanny Li, who had always been at odds with her.
Originally, she would not be so arrogant with her scheming mind, but unfortunately, what she has been thinking about all these years is to be Baoyu's aunt, but now that she has ended up like this, her thoughts are all gone for a while.
When Mrs. Wang saw her son's ugly appearance, she immediately covered her heart with a look of pain on her face. Fortunately, Jiao Shun and Tan Chun supported her on the left and right, and stroked her back and front, so she finally let her go.
Slow down.
"evil creature……"
But even so, there was a morbid weakness in her words: "You, what on earth do you want to do?!"
"Amitabha~"
Although Jia Baoyu saw that something was wrong with his mother, he didn't care much about the arrow on the string. He bit the bullet and recited the Buddha's name: "Poor monk..."
"You are so short!"
Jiao Shun slapped him on the head, and his hands were covered with blood and broken hair on the spot.
He wiped it with a handkerchief in disgust, and at the same time looked down at Jia Baoyu's hair style. Because it was cut randomly with a razor in the dark, and because he was afraid of pain, he did not dare to cut the hair. Therefore, Baoyu's head was covered with pits and pits of different lengths, and occasionally
There are also one or two strands that have slipped through the net, which can probably be enough to create a money rat tail look.
He pondered for a moment and said to the attacker next to him: "Where is the hair he shaved off? Go pick up the long hair and collect it."
When Mrs. Wang saw the blood on Baoyu's head, she forgot for a moment how bad what he had done. She rushed towards him and was looking at him distressedly. When she heard Jiao Shun's instructions, she quickly turned her head and asked, "What, have you thought of a solution?"
Jiao Shun nodded and said: "At this point, we can only get over it first - fortunately, he will wear a hat when going out. When he welcomes the bride, he will stick a ring of hair on it. If you don't look carefully, you should be able to get away with it.
"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she also hurriedly urged Xiren to find hair.
In fact, there was no need for her to urge her. Hearing that the matter could still be rectified, Xiren had already left Nanny Li and rushed to the toilet.
At this time, Baoyu pinched his neck and shouted: "I am already a monk, how can I mislead others for life? If you insist on forcing me to go, I will take off my hat at Xue's house!"
"You kid!"
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she almost had a heart attack again. She looked at Jiao Shun for help with her heart buried in her heart, but Jiao Shun was willing to come up with ideas to cover it up. It was because of the affection of the daughter of the family, and now she is facing her.
His eyes were spread out and his hands were spread out, but he showed a helpless posture.
Mrs. Wang became more and more panicked. She gritted her teeth and complained about the STD and rushed to the doctor: "I am not afraid to tell you the truth now. That letter is actually a forgery - your sister Lin has not traveled around the world at all, not even to Suzhou.
I’ve been in the capital the whole time!”
"What?!"
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu finally changed his expression and turned to look at Jiao Shun: "So, sister Lin has actually been in Brother Jiao's house all this time?!"
This really made him half-blinded.
"How can it be!"
Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained: "I mean the last letter was a forgery. My family saw that you were making noises about going to Suzhou all day long, so they forged a letter in order to make you give up completely. Who knew...
…”
Baoyu was confused by the news and questioned: "Sister Lin should be in Suzhou. Why did my wife say that she is in the capital?!"
"this……"
Mrs. Wang also sorted out her logic before adding: "Actually, two days ago, someone who called herself 'Miss Su' sent a letter to Bao Yatou, wanting to invite her to write a storybook together - but Bao Yatou
When the girl took a look at the words, wasn’t it exactly your sister Lin’s handwriting?!”
"She specifically told me about this later. I was afraid of affecting your marriage, so I kept it quiet. If you don't believe me, just ask her yourself when Baochai comes through!"
When Jiao Shun heard this, he couldn't help but secretly praise Xue Baochai for his scheming and getting to Mrs. Wang's side in advance. He didn't have to worry about Mrs. Wang exposing the matter in advance, and he could avoid any accidents and Jia Baoyu's troubles with her.
It's just that God's calculations are not as good as those of humans. No matter how resourceful Xue Baochai is, she never imagined that Jia Baoyu would make a fuss about becoming a monk on the wedding day, thus forcing Mrs. Wang to reveal her true identity.
"This this……"
Jia Baoyu was dubious: "Which of these words, madam, are true and which are false? Are you trying to deceive me again?"
Mrs. Wang touched his head with distress and annoyance, and said with a bitter smile: "You are already like this, how can I dare to lie to you? When I get Baochai back, you will know the truth once I ask!"
Jia Baoyu was a bit embarrassed. He mustered up great courage to shave off his long hair, but now he changed his mind because of a piece of unfounded news that was hard to tell whether it was true or not. It was really embarrassing for him to sheath the knife.
At this time, Tanchun found the groom's official hat from nowhere, and put it on him without any explanation, gritted his teeth and said: "Brother, you don't think about us, you have to think about Sister Lin - if she hears that you are ordained and become a monk,
, I’m afraid that I will lose all hope immediately!”
These words set the stage, and Jiao Shun also followed suit, gluing the shaved hair back on top again. Baoyu finally half-heartedly agreed, and surrounded by everyone, [ya]
song] and go to the front yard.
