Chapter 646: Teach Your Brother
But when Xue Baochai and others entered the room, they saw the brothers Baoyu and Jia Huan confronting each other with red faces and thick necks. There were more than twenty people surrounding them, and they were all at a loss as to what to do.
At the moment, I was both surprised and puzzled.
Didn't Jia Yingchun go back to her parents' home to visit her relatives? Why are these two brothers playing against each other?!
Besides, Huan Lao San has always been a nobody and never participated in group activities, so how could he...
Just as I was wondering and uncertain, I saw two maids running hurriedly down the corridor.
Xue Baochai took a quick look and saw that it was Shishu and Cui Mo who were beside Jia Tanchun. She hurried over to them and asked, "Where are you two going? What's going on here?!"
Seeing that it was Baochai and Xichun who blocked their way, Shishu and Cuimo did not dare to hide anything and hurriedly said that it was their girls who were afraid of disturbing the old lady, so they specially asked them to guard outside the door.
As for the situation of brothers fighting each other, it was because Jia Yingchun, following Sun Shaozong's instructions, exaggerated the incident of Jia Huan's blackmail yesterday.
She originally wanted to let everyone know about this and have Mrs. Wang hear about it, so that she could punish Jia Huan.
As expected, Jia Baoyu was standing nearby. When he heard that Jia Huan had gone to the Sun residence to cause trouble and was trying to use this as an excuse to blackmail his second sister, he immediately became furious and, regardless of other people's advice, asked the maid to find Jia Huan and question him.
In fact, this might not be a bad thing for Jia Huan - Jia Baoyu was a kind-hearted man after all, and if Jia Huan was willing to humble himself and admit his mistakes, the punishment and scolding he would receive would be much lighter than that from Mrs. Wang.
However, Jia Huan originally regarded Baoyu as an enemy, and under Mrs. Wang's deliberate indulgence in the past two years, he developed a scoundrel character. How could he be willing to accept Baoyu's discipline?
Not only did he retort, he even used Qingwen's incident to humiliate Baoyu in public, saying he was cuckolded.
This led to the confrontation between the brothers just now.
When Xue Baochai heard this, she glanced down the corridor and could not help but frowning, "It would be fine if the eldest sister-in-law didn't come over, but since this is Feng Lazi's yard, why didn't she come out to suppress it?"
Jia Huan has behaved so foolishly that, leaving aside Lady Jia and Jia She, perhaps only Wang Xifeng in the mansion can control him - and this incident started in her home, so how come there is no sign of her until now?
Cui Mo said with a bitter face: "Second Madam invited Aunt to come home to talk, but who would have thought that she would be stopped by Zhou Ruijia on the way, and now I don't know where she is!"
No wonder!
Xue Baochai stepped aside to make way, leaving the two maids to guard outside the door, and then she, Xichun and Xing Xiuyun rushed over.
At this time, Jia Huan was talking nonsense, each word was more obscene than the last. Jia Baoyu was swaying his body as if he would have a hysterical attack at any time. Xue Baochai was also very anxious.
He wanted to lend a helping hand and help Baoyu get out of this embarrassing situation.
But Jia Huan doesn't care about food or meat. If he were to make a few false accusations and spread the news...
Just as he was hesitating, he saw Lin Daiyu on the opposite side grit her teeth, break free from Zijuan and Xueyan's pull, and was about to go forward to help.
Alas~
When it comes to my feelings for Baoyu, I am still not as good as hers.
Xue Baochai sighed secretly and stared at Lin Daiyu's cherry lips, waiting to see how she would explain the matter.
Suddenly, a man jumped out from the side and slapped Jia Huan in the face. Jia Huan staggered two steps and almost fell into the flower garden outside the corridor.
Everyone looked in surprise, only to see that the person was none other than Jia Tanchun, who was born from the same mother as Jia Huan!
"You are a fool!"
Then Tanchun pointed at Jia Huan and yelled, "What is the status of Lord Sun now? Even if the master meets him, he should be polite! But you dare to go to his house and blackmail him!"
"If it weren't for my second brother, he would have brought you to justice long ago!"
"You are made of flesh and blood, and it's fine if you don't know how to appreciate kindness, but you actually bit my second brother in front of everyone!"
Jia Tanchun's string of words was like a string of cannonballs, and Jia Huan had no way of responding.
After finally pausing, she pointed at Baoyu and said, "What are you standing there for? Why don't you kowtow to your second brother and apologize!"
These words were certainly meant for Baoyu, but they were also a way for Jia Huan to save face, showing that the affection between these brothers could not be false.
But Jia Huan had been out there for the past two years and had developed a carefree personality, so how could he tell what was good and what was bad?
In particular, Jia Huan had always secretly resented Tanchun for being a traitor. Now he was slapped in the face by Tanchun in public and was ordered by her to kneel down and beg for mercy from Baoyu. He was so furious that his lungs were about to explode.
As soon as Tanchun finished speaking, she covered her face and gnashed her teeth, cursing: "If you want to kneel, kneel down yourself! Anyway, you've been chasing Baoyu around like a lapdog all day, wagging your tail, so you've gotten used to kneeling!"
As he said that, he spat on the ground again in hatred: "Bah, you are such a traitor, and you are such a lowly person, you are unlucky to have crawled out of the same stomach as me!"
Seeing that she was cursed in return for secretly protecting him, Jia Tanchun almost gnashed her teeth and said angrily, "You..."
"What do you mean?"
But Jia Huan didn't allow her to continue speaking.
He took advantage of the situation to tear the collar, not caring whether it was torn or not, and patted his chest and shouted: "I'm making this clear today, if you want to beat me, beat me to death, if I'm still alive tomorrow, no one in this yard will have a good life!"
“You…you…”
This reckless and unruly attitude really made Jia Tanchun not know how to deal with it. She was angry and anxious for a moment, and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Third sister."
At this moment, Baoyu suddenly stretched out his hand and grasped her arm, pulling her aside, and whispered, "Don't get angry with him, and let me have a few words with him."
Jia Tanchun was still a little hesitant, but Lin Daiyu beside her hurriedly pulled her aside.
So the situation of confrontation between the two brothers resumed on the field.
But this time, Baoyu's face was much calmer, and when he looked at Jia Huan again, there was a bit of pity mixed with his anger.
Three years ago, under the influence of Sun Shaozong, he began to gradually understand the ways of the world. Although there were inevitably some bumps and setbacks, he still gained a lot of experience and knowledge.
Therefore, after a little thought, he concluded that no matter what Jia Huan was like today, his future would be bleak - as a bastard in the family, it would be ok for him to be a running dog or a hawk, but for him to blackmail powerful relatives in the family for a few dollars, even if Jia Zheng was biased, he would have to give up with tears on such a person.
Thinking that the misfortune he had today was probably due to his mother's anger, Jia Baoyu's heart softened a little more.
So he stared at Jia Huan for a while, but sighed first, and then said: "Third brother, you just kept saying that Caixia is devoted to you, so she is naturally your woman - then let me ask you, have you done anything for her in these years?"
"Where were you when Madam scolded you for delivering a message to Aunt Zhao?"
"Where were you when she was kicked out of Rongguo Mansion?"
"Where were you when she was demoted to a servant because she angered Brother Sun Er because of you?!"
"Now I heard that she lost her virginity, and finally came to your house - but what you asked for was not justice, but several hundred taels of silver!"
When Jia Baoyu said this, he also patted his chest gently and said, "Let's not talk about Caixia's current situation. It has nothing to do with you. You should think about it first. Do you have the nerve to act in Caixia's name?!"
Jia Huan was once again speechless after being asked such a series of questions.
But he has already lost his mind, so how can he reflect on anything?
Even if I was speechless for a moment, it was just because I couldn't find the right words to refute.
He racked his brains silently for a long time, but it was still useless. Finally, he gritted his teeth and brought up the old matter again: "You talk so nicely! But when Qingwen was sent away, didn't you say a word?!"
With just one sentence, Baoyu's face changed color again.
Jia Huan felt that he had found Baoyu's weakness, and immediately spoke more cheerfully: "She is from your room, and you may have slept with her several times before. But she is still the lucky one for the guy surnamed Sun. If I were you, I would have fought with the guy surnamed Sun a long time ago..."
As he was speaking, Jia Baoyu suddenly kicked him right in the heart!
Jia Huan screamed and finally fell into the flower bed outside the corridor. He didn't know how many cuts he had made on himself by the dead branches. When he got up groaning, he saw that half of his face was bleeding and the other half was completely bloodless.
“You…you you you…”
He hunched over, pointed at Baoyu tremblingly and wanted to say something, but he vomited some millet porridge with a "wa~" sound, and the porridge dripped onto his clothes, looking extremely miserable.
At this time, Jia Baoyu said in a deep voice: "I know you have resentment in your heart, so you said a few nonsense. I don't blame you - but you shouldn't slander Qingwen's innocence!"
As he spoke, he looked around and raised his voice a few degrees: "I don't know who spread those rumors, and I don't want to know at all! I only know that Qingwen left our family innocently, and now she is following Brother Sun innocently!"
These words were so powerful that not only those who had guilty thoughts, but even Daiyu and Baochai were all shocked.
This was not the end. Baoyu immediately ordered: "Go and call Zhou Ruilai, and ask him to lock up the third child in the ancestral hall, and wait for the eldest uncle and mother to come back before we deal with it."
After a pause, he emphasized, "If anyone dares to let the old lady know about this, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Just as everyone was looking at him in awe, he called Xiren again and ordered her to prepare a jade ruyi and sixty-six taels of silver, and ask Jia Yingchun to take them to Qingwen, to congratulate her on finding a home.
After dealing with these things, Baoyu apologized to Jia Yingchun and walked out of the courtyard.
"you……"
Jia Huan, who had just recovered from his shock, could not help but provoke again. Jia Baoyu immediately stopped and added, "If you dare to say a dirty word again, I will punish you according to the family rules!"
Jia Huan was speechless again.
If he hadn't kicked him just now, he might not have believed that Baoyu dared to use the family rules, but now...
Seeing that he didn't dare to make trouble anymore, Jia Baoyu walked out of the yard.
"Oh? What's going on?!"
Just a moment later, Wang Xifeng arrived after hearing the news. Seeing that everyone was sitting in the corridor in silence except Jia Huan, who was standing in the flower bed, covered in dirt, she hurriedly asked what was going on.
Xue Baochai glanced at Jia Yingchun and saw that this older sister seemed to be still immersed in the scene just now and had no intention of responding at all, so she stepped forward and prepared to explain something to Wang Xifeng.
Unexpectedly, this time Lin Daiyu was one step faster than her.
However, Lin Daiyu did not go to explain, but walked around Wang Xifeng and quickly chased out of the yard.
Not to mention how the people in the hospital reacted.
Lin Daiyu hurried along the way and finally caught up with Baoyu near the peach forest. She panted and stood in front of him, saying angrily, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me calling you from behind?"
After she finished speaking, she was stunned again.
It was because Jia Baoyu was in a daze and absent-minded, with a forehead full of sweat, that he no longer had the majestic look he had just now.
"What's the matter with you? Say something !"
Lin Daiyu was very frightened. She shouted in his ear, helped him to sit on a nearby stone, and then took a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.
"I...I'm fine."
After a long while, Jia Baoyu finally came to his senses, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "In the past, when I saw Brother Sun handling things, I thought he was very powerful. Now that I have learned from him, I know that it is not so easy to show off in front of others."
As he spoke, he stroked his chest and said, "Just now when everyone was looking at me, my heart was pounding. I finally got out of that yard, but my mind was even more empty. It's a good thing you chased me out, otherwise I would have been laughed at."
Only then did Lin Daiyu realize that he was just outwardly strong but actually weak.
He felt a little disappointed, but at the same time he felt that this was Baoyu - if he was really like the second brother of the Sun family, killing people without blinking an eye, he would suspect that he had been possessed by someone else.
Just as he was about to make a few jokes as usual, he suddenly saw Baoyu's face fall, and he stroked his chest and muttered something.
Lin Daiyu was so frightened that she asked hurriedly: "What happened to you?!"
"Nothing much."
Baoyu stroked his chest and muttered with a grin, "Compared with me, Brother Sun is a world apart. He is also a man who knows how to be warm and cold. Qingwen would be a hundred times better off with him than with me, but...but I feel a little depressed."
As he spoke, he raised his head and asked hopefully, "If I had tried to keep her two years ago, what would her situation be like now?"
Seeing him like this, Lin Daiyu felt pity and sadness in her heart. She slammed her boots on the ground and spat, " How can I know about such a thing? I want to know if you dare to be kicked out one day..."
"How is that possible!"
Jia Baoyu jumped up from the rock, grabbed Lin Daiyu's hand, and said anxiously: "Let's not talk about the impossibility of this. Even if this day really comes, the worst that can happen is that I can go wandering around the world with you and become a pair of lovebirds with the same fate!"
Hearing his sincere words, the bitterness in Lin Daiyu's heart suddenly turned into sweetness, but she spat out hypocritically, "Bah! Look at you, you silly goose, and you dare to compare yourself to a mandarin duck!"
Amidst the soft and delicate voice, her tender hand silently hooked around Baoyu's palm.
