Chapter 34 (1) Great fortune in misfortune

Jia Yun and Xiaohong came here with plans.Although Ni Er had already taken care of everything, they still brought twenty taels of silver with them. When they arrived at the place, they identified the person who should be in charge, and stuffed them into his hand obediently, saying it was "lamp oil, straw shop", where? You don't need to take care of it, just take it as a cushion, and let's drink and eat at night. The man thanked them and led them to a small room. The door lock clicked and opened, allowing the two of them to enter. Jia Yun and Xiao Hong, suppressing the beating of their hearts, stepped into the room lightly.Looking up, I saw Baoyu leaning on a corner of the wall.Beside it is a copper teapot and a stoneware bowl.There is still a book at hand, but I can't tell what it is, so I flipped the leaves and put them on the ground.Besides, nothing.Looking at Baoyu, she doesn't wear clothes, her clothes are messy, and her face is much thinner.

Seeing this scene, Xiaohong already had tears all over her face.Jia Yun was also sad for a while—he suddenly thought of all the scenes when he entered Yihong Courtyard to greet Baoyu at the beginning of the old year. It was so different from today's situation, and she couldn't help crying.The two stepped forward and knelt on the ground, not knowing where to start for a while. Baoyu was still as usual, very quiet and friendly, and when he saw them coming, he looked happy.But he said first: "What are you doing here again..." Following the words, there was also a slight turmoil in the mournful voice.

Xiaohong first said: "Second Master has been wronged. Don't worry, the matter will be cleared up soon." Jia Yun then followed up with words of comfort. But Baoyu said: "I am here. It's rare to be so quiet. It's very useful. You don't have to worry about it. I just can't let go of the matter of Miaoyu Miaogu. I hurt her because of the kiln cup! I'm fine no matter what. Just don't make her feel wronged. What crime did she commit? I'll go and be punished. Instead, ask me instead and tell me." Then Baoyu stood up and asked his family how he was.The two had no choice but to agree with each other.He showed Baoyu what he had brought and asked if he wanted anything else.Baoyu was really happy to see that he had brought a pen, inkstone, paper, and paper. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't have any of the ones I wear on my body. If you come and bring me another jade pendant, a stone is fine if you don't have any." .”

You can't stay here for a long time. Before saying goodbye, Baoyu suddenly said, "Yun'er, go to Uncle Feng's house for me, General Shenwu." Jia Yun then asked, "What do you have to say? Just tell me, I Be sure to answer to Uncle Feng." Without saying a word, he heard the voices of people and horses in the courtyard, and the prison guard hurriedly asked Jia Yun to hide in another room for a while, saying that it was the Chief of Punishment and Uncle Feng. Come to summon the prisoner Jia Baoyu. Jia Yunxiaohong was taken aback when she heard the words, and hurriedly hid in the next room, holding her breath and listening quietly under the window.

For a while, some officials and others entered Baoyu's house, called Baoyu, and declared in a loud voice: "There is an order from above, "Jia Baoyu, a prisoner in custody, misbehaved, made friends with bad people, and caused troubles. He deserved it. I think he is not yet mature. , Young and ignorant; In addition, the epilepsy has relapsed recently, the speech is confused, the mind is in a coma, and the crime may have been bewitched by others. " Afterwards, I listened to the prison guards, and now Ziying, Uncle Feng, has released his mask on bail, and he is about to release Jia Baoyu alone, and hand it over to the guarantor to take him back.

Jia Yun and Xiao Hong, who were terrified and uncertain, heard this and knew that it was a blessing rather than a disaster, and a stone fell to the ground.When the judges finished their explanations and left, someone came to greet them to come out of the house. Feng Ziying didn't know the two of them, so he came out to meet and salute, explaining his identity, Feng Ziying was also very happy, and told them some sad and happy stories. It turned out that as soon as he got the letter, he asked his father to find a way and entrusted him with favor. , said good things, turned Baoyu's matter from big to small, and then he was released.

Both Yunhong and Feng Ziying thanked Feng Ziying for their gratitude, but Baoyu remained silent. At this time, Feng Ziying asked Jia Yun.The Rong Mansion must not be very peaceful and tidy at the moment, and it is also a difficult problem for Second Master Bao to go back. Why don't you follow me back to the humble house for a short stay.Jia Yun heard that she was moved within five years, and Baoyu had no idea at this time, and only obeyed the arrangements. Everyone left the prison gate and was about to mount their horses when Baoyu suddenly pointed to the other side: "I saw the prison god when I came here, and I never forgot him. Now that I am leaving, I have to say goodbye to him, so I can show my respect."

Everyone turned around and came back to the small temple. Baoyu went in, stared at the benevolent face of the statue, and saluted deeply, but tears fell from his eyes. When going back in two ways, Baoyu said to Feng Ziying: "Do you remember that year at Brother Xue's banquet, you said 'the greatest fortune in misfortune'?" Ziying laughed loudly, and said: "Good memory! How do you know the details of the words? It's hard to say in detail now. I hope that not only today, but also in your present, even in the future, it will also be fulfilled!"
