The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 49 I Don't Believe
Baochai pondered over her plan several times, and finally decided to bring Daiyu and Jia Min together according to the original plan.

Yesterday, she gave Daiyu the song "Midnight Song", but she didn't say who wrote it, and she used the excuse of helping to find out, and then she would tell Daiyu.

Although Daiyu was clever, she had no intentions. Naturally, she believed in Baochai's words and devoted herself to pondering "Midnight Song".

Sometimes others can think about a sentence for a long time. Now that they have seen such a masterpiece, they naturally got into the horns.

The girls in the mansion are actually willing to come to Baoyu.Because his place is the most lively and casual.

Baoyu is naturally very good to the girls.Even for maids and servants, they basically have no airs.Boys can snatch things from him, and maids can even flirt with him.

In the words of Jia's company, Baoyu is a rich second generation who has not yet taken over.Although he is the default successor, he has a position but no authority.

For low-level employees like maids and servants, they are more sympathetic and considerate, meet each other frankly, and get along with each other, even if they criticize him face to face.He has high communication skills and a certain emotional intelligence. He is a friend in the eyes of his subordinates.

However, Baoyu's shortcomings are also obvious.There is no principle in doing things, when things happen, you are muddled, have no sense of responsibility, can cause troubles, but can't deal with them.

Therefore, for the employees, although following Baoyu is happy, it has no future.

Baoyu's place is very lively, not only because there are many people, but also because Ping'er is here.

Ping'er's popularity in the mansion is excellent, which is far beyond her master Wang Xifeng.

These days, Yeduju has often occupied the center of topics in the mansion, so people want to get more information from her.

It doesn't necessarily have any clear purpose, just curiosity.

"Sister Ping'er, I heard that Fourth Master Min gave you dividends. Is there really such a strange thing?"

It was Qingwen who spoke.

"It's a split. It's just that he said so at the beginning, and he didn't take it seriously. Who knows he did it. I still can't believe it."

"Ask Fourth Master Min if he still needs someone there. If he wants someone, I'll go too."

Qingwen is still favored by Baoyu here, so she can speak without hindrance.

"You don't need to ask, the fourth master already wants you. You can go there soon."

The one who spoke was Shishu, and Tanchun's maid, who was on the same level as Qingwen, was the foreman.

"Hmph, he wants it if he wants it, and I'm not an object. Who cares to go to him? I don't even look at what I am."

With regard to this EQ, Qingwen turned her back if she said she would turn her back.

What she said, at least committed two serious illnesses.One is that Ping'er is serving Jia Min now, and Jia Min is Ping'er's master.It would be difficult for Pinger to say this in front of Pinger.

To protect Jia Min, you have to quarrel with Qingwen.If you don't defend Jia Min, it will appear that Ping'er is disloyal to his master.

The second is that Jia Min is always the master. It is really disrespectful for Qingwen to despise Jia Min so much.Even for someone like Wang Xifeng who hated Jia Min, it was intolerable.

Because Qingwen broke the rules.It's okay for you to look down on Jia Min secretly, but if you say it in front of everyone, it doesn't matter whether it's big or small.

This Qingwen just couldn't get her seat right.

After all, Ping'er was well-mannered, smiled, and spoke slowly.

"Si Ye said that he wanted Qingwen, but it was just a joke. Besides, we don't even believe that his three-acre watermelon sold for 5000 taels of silver."

"Where Yedu lives in the wilderness, how can it compare to the mansion where there are flowers all day long. Even the fourth master has to do rough work all day long, and the work is more tiring than us. Naturally, no one wants to go to such a place. If you go, even if you give a few silver coins, it’s not easy to earn. It’s not as good as enjoying ready-made ones in the mansion.”

Ping'er's words were spoken plainly, but they were soft and firm.It means that we worked hard there, and the money we earned was handed over to you for your enjoyment.

Qingwen naturally didn't think about the meaning of her words, she only felt that she had the upper hand, and she became a little proud.

But Baochai was shocked when he heard this.From Ping'er's words, she heard a lot of information.

However, she did not speak.She would not participate in such a controversial occasion.

"Min's fourth guy, he does some inexplicable things, so many people can support him, and he doesn't look like a master if he is used to do rough work. Isn't he just willing to do rough work? Wait until he leads me When the horse is gone, let him do his job.”

Baoyu has never been used to Jia Min, so he took the opportunity to say a few words.

Ping'er regretted coming here.

Before, she didn't feel anything.However, now she feels that she is not the same as these people.Just at this time Daiyu came, said hello, and took the opportunity to say goodbye.

She wants to go back to Yeduju, where she feels more at ease.

"Sister Bao, did you find anyone?"

As soon as Daiyu saw Baochai, she couldn't wait to ask.

"found it."

"who is it?"

"Fourth Brother Min."

"What? Fourth Brother Min? Impossible, Fourth Brother Min is illiterate."

"It is indeed Fourth Brother Min. This piece of paper was brought by Tian Ping'er from Yedu Juli."

"What did you two say? Why don't you make it clear and tell us to listen too?"

Baoyu was also in a hurry.

So Baochai gave the paper to Baoyu.

"Isn't this the poem that Brother Xue sang that day? I was just about to ask Sister Bao, how did you write this "Midnight Song"? After all, Sister Bao is talented, and we all can't match it."

"This "Midnight Song" was not written by me, it was written by Brother Min."

"Hmph, how can that idiot Min Lao Si write such poems? Sister Bao, don't be humble."

Speaking of which, Tanchun, Yingchun, and Xichunyue all watched "Midnight Song".

It's just that they didn't believe that it was written by Fourth Brother Min.

Now, they don't know much about Jia Min.Jia Min had almost no contact with them, and all he knew was that Jia Min beat Jia Huan and bet with the Elder Master, Baoyu and Brother Rong.

Now, Jia Min's image is basically negative.Although I gave them gifts some time ago, that good impression was quickly wiped away.

It is said that words are the voice of the heart. How could such a person write such poems?
During the discussion, Shou'er, Jia Rong's servant, came.

"Second Master Bao, my master asked me to give you something."

"what?"

"It's a poem. My uncle said it was written by Fourth Master Min, and asked Second Master Bao to read it."

"This fourth min, what kind of Laoshizi did you write?"

As Baoyu said, he took a piece of paper from Shouer.Looking at it, his face changed.

Muttering in his mouth, the piece of paper fell to the ground, and he didn't pick it up, just said: How is it possible, how is it possible.

Daiyu was very anxious when she saw Baoyu's expression was out of order.Seeing Baoyu sitting on the chair, I felt a little relieved.

Over there, Baochai had already picked up the paper and began to read.

"When is the spring flower and autumn moon? How much do you know about the past. The small building was windy last night, and the old country can't bear to look back. In the moonlight. The carved railings and jade bricks should still be there, but the red face has changed. Ask you how much you can worry, just like a river of spring water. East flow."

The noisy room was immediately dead silent.Seeing that the master didn't make a sound at the door, the maids didn't even dare to vent their breath.

Baochai suppressed the trembling all over her body, and sat down slowly.

This poem shocked her too much.What kind of character is this fourth brother Min, who can write such shocking words.

Lin Daiyu had shed tears a long time ago, and sat there in a daze, as if in a daze.

The sadness in this poem made her immediately think of her own situation.

Thinking about how I came to this mansion after losing my mother when I was young, I was careful every day, for fear that I would do something wrong and be hated by others. Isn't that kind of nostalgia for my hometown written for myself?
It turned out that this fourth brother Min is also a very poor person.

At this moment, Li Wan came.Seeing the silence here, I thought there was no one.Seeing that Qingwen, Bihen and Sheyue were all there, he entered the house.

Tanchun silently handed "Poppy Poppy" to her, and Li Wan was immediately shocked after reading it.

It's just that Shou'er was puzzled when he saw everyone's reaction.

Li Wan also knew poetry, and when he saw this "Poppy", he naturally knew that it was not ordinary.

"Whose word is this? Never seems to have seen it."

"Fourth Brother Min."

Tanchun said casually.

"Oh, Fourth Brother Min, what? Fourth Brother Min? You said it was Fourth Brother Min, how could it be possible? Is there some misunderstanding?"

Li Wan naturally didn't believe it.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe that Min Lao Si can write such poems. Shou'er, explain it to me clearly, if you dare to lie, I will kill you!"

Baoyu went crazy.

This blow was really too big for him.How could a wretched character like Min Lao Si write such a "Poppy"?

"I don't know what happened to the little one, but Uncle Rong told me that Fourth Master Min wrote it to Miss Shen Bingyi in Meiyue Tower last night. Now it's spread all over the city."

"Is this true?"

"That's what Uncle Rong explained. When the time comes, Second Master Bao will ask Uncle Rong to find out."

Isn't it just a poem? As for this?
"Uncle Rong also asked the younger one to tell Second Master Bao a word."

"What are you talking about, tell me quickly."

"Uncle Rong said, Fourth Master Min has another sentence, which has spread throughout the city."

"What exactly?"

"Don't be obsessed with brother, brother is just a legend."

"Who is infatuated with him, get out!"

Baoyu sat down on the chair again.

Previously, although Jia Min had also shown some extraordinary performances, Baoyu never regarded him as a threat.

Apart from his status as the son-in-law and being favored at home, he also thinks that he is far superior to Jia Min in terms of talent.

He was not afraid that Jia Min would threaten his position in the family, but that Jia Min would threaten his position in the hearts of Daiyu, Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun.

It turned out that Jia Min was just illiterate, even if he could earn some money, no one would look at him.However, it is different now.How can someone who can write "Midnight Song" and "Poppy" not be talented?How could he be illiterate?
No matter how much money Jia Min has, Baoyu is not afraid.Baoyu was really afraid of surpassing him in talent.

Asked how worried you can be, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Such a talent, who can rival?

Asked how worried you can be, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward.

Baochai's heart was trembling.
