Chapter 39 – Red Chamber (39)

Jia Bao Yu and Feng Zi Ying recognized Lin Yu Yang, stomping their feet and sighing, “Why did Big Brother Xue offend him? Uncle-in-law Lin has returned to the capital, he is not living in our home. I fear it will take some trouble in order to ask for forgiveness.”

Feng Zi Ying stilled. How come he suddenly mentioned the Lin Family? Then he suddenly realized. He had come here with his brother-in-law, and the meeting had been disrupted by stupid Xue Pan. The Jinghai Count was responsible for the order of the capital right now. Wasn’t the idiot Xue running on the road to death? Just based on his crimes, any of them were enough for him to pay all his wealth, and still be unable to come out unharmed.

He looked at Jia Bao Yu who appeared to be in a hurry to look at Idiot Xue and said, “Do not wait here to look at him. Go back and report this. Only your family can talk to the Jinghai Count and the Lin Family.”

“That person just now was the Jinghai Count? Such a good person. I did not know him before. Only someone of his appearance can match the eldest sister of the Lin family,” Jia Bao Yu was a bit disappointed and relieved.

Why did he still have the effort to be obsessed at this time? Was the eldest Miss Lin someone he could talk about outside?

“I say, go quickly,” Feng Zi Ying said. He urged the servant who followed Jia Bao Yu, ordering, “The matter concerns a life, do not delay.”

Jia Bao Yu finally stomped his foot, looked at Xue Pan on the ground and hurried to leave.

Entering his home, he hesitated a bit. If he suddenly said this, what if he harmed the face of Sister Bao? She lived in the home, and many gossiped about her already. Why add more trouble to her? So he asked, “Do you know where Sister Feng is?” He thought, Sister Feng and the eldest Lin sister were the closest. It would be convenient to give this matter to her to take care of. It was just a message to carry on. Then the matter would be resolved in harmony, and no one else would have to be alarmed. It would also consider the feelings between relatives. It would be perfect.

But the people of the Jia Family were celebrating. The consort in the palace had rewarded gifts for Duan Wu. The entire family was gathered together. Wang Xi Feng and Xue Bao Chai were keeping Mother Jia company. Jia Bao Yu heard this, and stomped his foot in a panic. He first went toward Mother Jia’s courtyard.

Mother Jia saw Jia Bao Yu and was very happy. The consort paid special attention to Bao Yu and his gift was special. “Why were you not at home, did you go play outside? Such a hot day, it is not as comfortable as home.”

Wang Xi Feng was not satisfied with the gifts Yuan Chun had given the eldest branch. Hearing such words, she could not help but mutter inside, for a man, what can he do if he did not go out with others and stayed home all day?

On the other side, Mother Jia pulled Jia Bao Yu and said, “See what the consort gave you.”

Jia Bao Yu was in a rush, but did not want to embarrass Xue Bao Chai in front of everyone in the hall. He could only suppress his personality and go over to the crowd of sisters with a smile.

“Look, Second Brother got another string of musk pearls and a jade scepter,” Tan Chun moved to make space and pointed them out to Jia Bao Yu. She said, “Sister Bao also got an extra string of musk beads, the same as Second Brother.”

Xue Bao Chai saw the string of musk beads was adorable, and could not help but put it on her arm. Jia Bao Yu looked, and was stunned.

Snowy white and plump, compared against the blood red beads. It was a visual shock. Jia Bao Yu felt that it was a pity. If such an arm was born on Sister Lin’s body, maybe he could touch it. But it was not possible with her. He could not help you say, “Sister likely can rival Consort Yang.”

Xue Bao Chai was shocked. Who was Consort Yang? Who was she? She had not even been selected as a reading partner of the princess. Was this a mockery or a tease? Also, Consort Yang married twice in her life, throwing the dynasty into chaos, and was thought of as a demoness. How was she like the other woman? What was the reason for this? Her expression turned cold and she said, “Even if I am Consort Yang, I do not have a good brother to be that Yang Guo Zhong.”¹

At such words, the surrounding people stilled. Wang Xi Feng changed expression. Right now, the family had produced a noble consort. Bao Chai’s words did not just criticize Jia Bao Yu, but also Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Jia Huan and the others. These were all brothers of the noble consort. Would they become that Yang Guo Zhong? The Yang Family did not have a good end. Then how much better would the Jia Family be?

Madam Wang managed to hear this, and was immediately unhappy. Aunt Xue was a bit embarrassed.

Xue Bao Chai knew that she had been rash. If she just told Jia Bao Yu alone, it would be fine, it would count as teasing. But right now it was very inappropriate.

Jia Bao Yu was embarrassed for a moment. He suddenly thought of the “brother” in her words. Then he remembered the matter of Xue Pan. He could not attend to anything else and pulled Wang Xi Feng aside to whisper. Everyone thought that Jia Bao Yu was embarrassed at being refuted and was hiding away. They did not keep it on their mind.

Jia Bao Yu was in a hurry to tell Wang Xi Feng about the matter. “Right now, I can only trouble Sister Feng to send someone with a message.”

Wang Xi Feng thought, the child is still so ignorant. How can such a matter be resolved with a word. What did he think the Lin Family was? Who did he think the Jinghai Count was? No one in the Jia Family had such respect. Originally, it would not be easy for her to refute, but now, she had a perfect excuse. So she pouted and said, “Bao Yu, you have such patience and upbringing that I do not have. Others say that your brother is Yang Guo Zhong. Then who am I? The matter of punishment is a matter of the country and court. They just scolded us, and we have to be more on our guard. Will we become Yang Guo Zhong? I will not be that person who protects the criminal and goes against the law. Even your brothers cannot go. I will no longer attend to matters of their Family.” She finished and went to walk away.

Jia Bao Yu panicked, wanting to pull her. Wang Xi Feng was not willing to give him a chance and just said, “If you keep on nagging like this, I will not care about anyone’s face, and will just make it public. At the time, some people will not end up the hero, but will offend others. You cannot blame me then.”

Jia Bao Yu finally gave up.

Mother Jia saw Bao Yu and Wang Xi Feng talk, and did not know what they were talking about. Then she saw Wang Xi Feng leave Jia Bao Yu behind and called Wang Xi Feng over to ask, “Has Bao Yu done some mischief and told you to do something for him? You cannot indulge him.”

Wang Xi Feng smiled and walked towards Mother Jia. She softly whispered the matter into Mother Jia’s ears. In the end, she said, “Such a serious matter, I did not dare to agree. He is a child and does not know the severity. But how can I not? Who does not know the favor Jinghai Count has with the emperor? Uncle-in-law Lin will also interfere. If the Jinghai Count does not feel good, and he says something in front of the emperor, will it be good to the consort? Just now, Yang Guo Zhong was mentioned. In my view, while Second Master Lian is not accomplished, he does not have the ability to become Yang Guo Zhong. Brother Bao and the other brothers usually do not go out, and will not drag down the consort. However, there will be some cousins who will stain the consort’s reputation.” She knew that if Mother Jia accepted the matter, she would end up being the person who would have to run the errand. It was better to say this. Even if Mother Jia was going to meddle, Mother Jia would not have any hopes that she would help. No one would do something thanklessly. She would go out to visit others, she would not beg others.

Mother Jia’s smile immediately faded. She knew that Wang Xi Feng’s words left her face. In reality, she could not control Lin Ru Hai. There was also the matter of a few days ago between them. If she spoke, the other would likely not give her face. Also, she was slightly unhappy about Xue Bao Chai’s words.

Jia Bao Yu was in a panic and giving looks to Wang Xi Feng for her to not talk right now. But Wang Xi Feng knew that even if such a matter could be kept a secret today, could it be kept a secret tomorrow? Once the Xue Family knew who they had offended, the first time, they would come to beg the aid of the Jia Family.

The people in the room saw the interactions between Mother Jia, Wang Xi Feng and Jia Bao Yu. Who in the room could not read people’s expressions? The three Springs left first, then Aunt Xue and Xue Bao Chai said their good-byes. Mother Jia nodded and smiled, having the servant girls see them out the door. Mother Jia did not ask Jia Bao Yu and just sent him off, “Your sister has a share of what the consort rewarded. How about you deliver it to Yu’er?”

Jia Bao Yu immediately agreed happily. He had wanted to visit the Lin Family long ago, but could not find an excuse. It was good now. He could see Sister Lin in person.

Mother Jia sent away Jia Bao Yu, and talked to Madam Wang and Madam Xing.

When the Xue mother and daughter returned to their rooms, they were very angry.

Aunt Xue complained, “You child, you cannot keep your calm. In the past, you looked reliable, why are you so rash today?”

Xue Bao Chai was also full of regret. She said angrily, “It is fine if it is a joke at some other time, but he has no more restraints. Am I just for his pleasure?”

“You child, how come you are thinking too much?” Aunt Xue said in a low voice, “Maybe other people have such thoughts. But Bao Yu definitely does not have such thoughts. You know him, he is always like this. He will slip up in his words.”

Xue Bao Chai sighed inside. Now, she could not say anything to Aunt Xue to spare her worrying as well. She just said, “I just misspoke a bit, and everyone will forget in a few days. I will just pretend I have forgotten what I said, and no one can say anything about us. Mother, do not worry. When have I ever made you worry?”

Aunt Xue finally settled, and could not help but feel sad. Back when she had not married, in the paternal family, she had been more in favor than her elder sister. But after the sisters married, the difference was so great. In these years, back when her husband was alive, it did not show. All of the relatives relied on the Xue Family to get their silver, and they were all very polite. Compared to now, she did not want to think more.

When her daughter had been at home, she had been raised with gold and jade. Her husband had valued her more than Pan’er. When had she ever been slighted like this?

Mother and daughter did not feel well, sitting facing each other without a word.

Suddenly, they heard noise inside. Mother and daughter were shocked and hurried out. Aunt Xue said, “It must be your brother, he caused trouble again.”

Just as she finished talking, a servant who was with Xue Pan came to report that Xue Pan had been beaten.

This was not good. Just now, Aunt Xue had complained her son caused trouble but now, she felt hurt for him. She just called for Xiang Ling to serve him well and sent someone for a physician. She saw that her son’s face was swollen to the point it was disfigured and cursed, “Which bastard did this?”

Xue Bao Chai saw her brother like this, and hurt for him, but she knew what was important. She first asked the people who had been with him what had happened, and who he had a conflict with.

These people had been instructed by Feng Zi Ying and knew how to answer. Because of this, they spoke clearly. Xue Bao Chai’s thoughts moved, and she thought of how Jia Bao Yu talked to Wang Xi Feng behind her back. She seemed to understand. So he had wanted Wang Xi Feng to ask for mercy from the Lin Family. While he had good intentions, he was too innocent.

But if they did not beg the Jia Family regarding this, her family likely would not even be able to touch the gates of the Lin Family and the Jinghai Count’s residences. Based on the situation just now, the old mistress did not agree. Her aunt, other than silver, did not recognize anything else. How could she not worry?

“Mother, quickly put away your tears.” Xue Bao Chai saw Xiang Ling serving her brother well and pulled Aunt Xue out of Xue Pan’s room. “Right now, that is not the most important thing. I fear Brother’s previous case will be uncovered. It will not be good then.”

“It would not be.” Aunt Xue was uncertain.

“Back then, Bao Yu was present, but they were still so vicious. Brother must have offended them very much with his temper.” Xue Bao Chai frowned. “The Jinghai Count is very noble. Even with the Jia Family, and the silver we give, he may not give us face. We need to plan what to do. Mother just guards Brother and cries. What use is that?”

“My child, what do you think we should do? How about finding your aunt and discussing it? If your uncle is willing to help, it would be best.” Aunt Xue wiped her tears and stood up.

Xue Bao Chai did not agree, but could not think of another solution. They had to give more money to Aunt. Today, Eunuch Xia came from the palace with rewards, but it was also because they needed silver. Aunt, because of the silver, may help a bit. As long as they could talk to the Lin Family, everything could be negotiated.

So she nodded. Aunt Xue wiped her face, and took out a box before leaving.

Xue Bao Chai sighed inwardly. They only had expenses and no income. When would this end? Now that Brother was not in charge of the business, it worsened by the day. They were barely able to manage by relying on the people that Father had left behind. But this was not a long-term solution. The decline of the family was right ahead. Mother relied on the Jia Family, but was the Jia Family really reliable? She had watched for the past two years. The Jia Family looked good on the surface, and there was a consort in the palace as support. If they did not offend someone important, people would give them face. But would they be able to rely on a woman for a long time? They could only hope that she had a son and the glory would then be sustained.

Madam Wang came out of Mother Jia’s place and thought of Mother Jia’s words. She felt that they made sense. Consort had a difficult time, and outside, while they could not help, they could not add trouble. This Pan’er was her nephew, but could not compare to her daughter.

Zhou Rui’s wife put a box in front of Madam Wang and said, “Mistress, they are pursuing the silver hard this month. We are only able to gather so much in this half day.”

Madam Wang frowned. “It is not enough to give the attendants of the palace for a cup of tea. Push them some more. This time, it is urgent.”

Zhou Rui’s wife acknowledged and said, “But the interest is not enough. We have to think of a way to get more.” She went forward and whispered, “Last time, Ping’er took an item of the old mistress from Yuan Yang in exchange for silver. How about……”

Madam Wang’s expression changed. She said, “How come the two servant girls have such daring?”

Zhou Rui’s wife said, “The old mistress frequently says that her things will be Bao Yu’s. These people likely hate it. These people who laugh in public are vicious behind people’s backs. Right now, they are using the excuse to steal what is valuable and taking it for themselves. I heard that the average Buddha statue like that was worth five hundred silver.” Her son-in-law sold it for one thousand. How great a profit was this? Her son had talked to her several times. If they were able to persuade the mistress, after a few times, she could also become an old lady. She and her husband only had this daughter. The daughter was married to a commoner. In terms of status, she was lower than her husband. Now that they could help, there was nothing to hesitate about.

Madam Wang knew that Zhou Rui’s wife was speaking of Wang Xi Feng. She knew her niece. She was one who would dare to scoop up silver from a pot of boiling oil. If she was really behind this, and just directing Ping’er, it made sense, and fit her personality. Ping’er was a concubine but had been a servant. She would be anxious about taking charge of the household. Who would think that she dared to pawn the old mistress’ things?

The more she thought, the more she felt it was the case.

Zhou Rui’s wife knew that Madam Wang would be tempted. She said, “Since it will be left for Second Master Bao, having it with the Mistress is better than with the old mistress. Mistress, you only have this one son, but the old mistress has more than one grandson. The elderly may be soft hearted sometimes.”

It was true.

Madam Wang nodded. “You are thinking for me. But Yuan Yang is not easy to talk to.”

“That is not anything.” Zhou Rui’s wife said, “Everyone has relatives. Her mother and father are watching the old residence in Jinling. Her elder brother is a purchaser in the old mistress’ courtyard. Her sister-in-law is in charge of the old mistress’ laundry. If they are in charge, they will embezzle. If we have blackmail, we do not have to fear that she will not agree.”

Madam Wang nodded. “You take care of this, do not lose your measure. Otherwise, it is not getting her on your side but causing a grudge.”

Zhou Rui’s wife was overjoyed. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the outside report that Aunt Xue had arrived.

So she stood properly and waited for the guest to enter. She bowed, served tea, and then left, her head down. She knew the other had come to give silver to the mistress again.

“I thought that you would come.” Madam Wang sighed. “Pan’er did not act well. How come he caused such trouble?”

“This evil creature wants my life. If he has even a tenth of the good of Bao Yu, I would thank the heavens and earth.” Aunt Xue wiped her tears. “But what can I do? Can I just watch him die?”

“Children and grandchildren are debts.” Madam Wang sighed. “But what can we do now? The old mistress has spoken. As the daughter-in-law, can I disobey? How about you privately beg Feng-yatou? She is very close to the eldest miss of the Lin Family. Maybe she can say a few words.”

“Sister, hasn’t Bao Yu already begged for my child? I did not know before why Bao Yu was muttering with Feng-yatou, but thinking about it now, this honest child must have been helping his aunt.” Aunt Xue said gratefully. “It was hard for the child. Feng-yatou even refused Bao Yu. I know that she will not touch this. I am already so old, I will not bother to beg.”

“Feng-yatou has grown apart from us.” Madam Wang of course knew that Wang Xi Feng would not agree.

“So, right now, I can only rely on Sister,” Aunt Xue sighed. “Right now, I only have this one evil creature, without him, me and Bao-yatou will not be able to live. In the future, when I reach the other side, I will not have the face to see my husband.” Then she pushed a box in front of Madam Wang. “Sister, I am unable to bring anything respectful to ask for them. This is five thousand silver. I just beg Sister to talk to the Lin family.”

Madam Wang looked at the box and was tempted. The palace had come and demanded three thousand silver. She had a hard time gathering the amount. Now, five thousand was in front of her. Could she just watch it pass her by? Thinking of her daughter in hardship in the palace, Madam Wang made a decision. Not all matters could succeed. She would first take the silver. Also, if she failed, it was their fate.

“Why do this? Could I just stand and watch Pan’er die?” Madam Wang relaxed. She did not push the silver back. This proved that she had accepted it.

Aunt Xue immediately felt relieved.

The two did not have the time to chat and separated.

Xue Bao Chai listened to Aunt Xue tell her what they had said, and her worries were not released. There were many people who accepted gifts but did not do anything. However, she could not let Aunt Xue know of this and worry alongside her. She thought, she may have to go and visit Lin Yu Tong.

Jia Bao Yu took the gifts that Jia Yuan Chun gave the Lin Family and went towards the Lin Family.

Lin Ru Hai had not returned to the residence, and Lin Yu Yang had gone with Wen Tian Fang to his residence. Only Lin Yu Tong and Lin Dai Yu were at home. But Lin Yu Tong was having her menstrual period for the first time in this life and feeling discomfort. So after drinking two bowls of red sugar water, she went to sleep.

Lin Dai Yu saw that Lin Yu Tong was not feeling well and just managed to fall asleep, though not a deep one, and did not dare to get anyone to wake her.

Jia Bao Yu came, and delivered the rewards from the palace. The servants did not dare to slight him, and reported to Lin Dai Yu. Dai Yu stood up, and was about to walk out when she stopped. “Send someone to lead Bao Yu to wash up. It is such a hot day, and he likely has sweated. Then send him some heat relieving soup, to rid him of the heat. Find a reliable person to find Brother, and say there is a male guest.” Then she gritted her teeth and said, “Also, set up a screen in the garden hall. I will receive the gifts from the palace behind the screen. This will avoid people thinking that we are proud and dare to even slight the rewards of the consort if the events spread.”

Sister-in-law Ping looked in surprise at Dai Yu, nodded, and withdrew.

Jia Bao Yu was served well by the people in the Lin Family, and heard that the second miss had ordered this so he was even more happy. He asked directly, “Where is Sister Lin, how come I do not see her?”

He was led to the garden hall after he was cleaned up. He faintly made out Dai Yu sitting on the other side of a half transparent crystal screen.

“Sister, what are you doing, acting like this? No matter how many things separate us, I know it is you.” Jia Bao Yu said and was about to go around the scene, but Fang Hua stopped him.

“You just sit. It must have been hard to come all this way. Drink some tea as you have likely sweated,” Lin Dai Yu hurriedly said.

“I drank two bowls of the medicine tea you had people deliver. I am not thirsty. Sister, you have grown up now, and you live even better. A guest has come, you do not serve wine and meat, just water. What is the reason for this?” Jia Bao Yu did not sit back down, just stood next to the screen and spoke to Lin Dai Yu.

“Bah! You do not recognize good people.” Lin Dai Yu spat at him and said, “You just go to the families that have wine and meat. Who invited you here?”

“Wine and meat are not anything, I came for the taro and do not care about anything else.” Jia Bao Yu wanted to take a look, causing Qing Fen and Feng Hua to have a hard time stopping him.

“Settle down, what kind of allusion are you making?” Lin Dai Yu’s voice was soft, and in Jia Bao Yu’s ears, it was like celestial music.

He was restless and said, “We lived in the same room as children, we are very familiar with each other. Now, we have to abide by these rituals, it is to cover one’s ears while stealing a bell. Sister, when did you start caring about mortal affairs like this?”

Lin Dai Yu was silent for a moment and then said, “Just tell me why you came. Do not just chat with me without speaking of the matter.”

“Oh! I saw Sister and forgot everything.” Jia Bao Yu hit his forehead and said, “The consort sent things down, and I have delivered them to Sister. Eldest Lin Sister has the same as Second, Third, and Fourth Sister. Sister Bao has an extra string of musk beads, and Sister, you have an extra jade scepter.”

“What did you get?” Lin Dai Yu saw the servant girls present them to her, and took the jade scepter to play with. This was only the size of a child’s hand, and it could be hung from clothing as an ornament. It was adorable and refined.

“Just another string of musk beads and a jade scepter,” Jia Bao Yu said with a smile, “If you like the string of beads, just take it.” Then, he took it out and said, “I have kept this for Sister.”

Lin Dai Yu’s heart stopped for a moment. What did this mean? Xue Bao Chai and Jia Bao Yu were the same. They had the same string of musk beads. She and Bao Yu had the same jade scepter. She did not feel any joy, but a bit of irritation. What did such arrangements mean? She said, “What do I want the beads for? If it is yours, it is yours. Otherwise, she would have it, but you would not, it would not be fun then. I will not be the villain.”

Jia Bao Yu stilled. Sister Bao’s gold locket needed to be paired with a jade. He had heard the rumors before. He thought if he did not care, it was fine. But Sister had it on her mind. He sweated in his panic and said, “I do not care what others say. I have my heart. Sister, why say such things?”

“I just said one thing, why are you panicking?” Without seeing him, Lin Dai Yu knew he was panicking again. She said, “The string of beads is too big for my wrist. Just take it and play.”

Jia Bao Yu thought of Xue Bao Chai’s plump arm and was slightly dazed.

Lin Dai Yu did not hear him speak and thought he felt uneasy. She said, “I just said one thing, and you start to ignore me.”

Jia Bao Yu woke up and hurriedly asked, “Sister, what did you just say?”

“Humph! You must be thinking of another of your sisters, you stupid goose.” Then she said without waiting for Jia Bao Yu to speak. “You have come out on your own, and the family must be worried about you. Do not stay too long here. My daddy and brother are not here, I will not keep you for a meal. Quickly return, and tell the old mistress to not worry.”

Jia Bao Yu looked at the sky outside. It was late now. He said, “I have another request to ask of Sister.”

“This is rare. Is Second Uncle going to inspect your homework, and you want me to write for you?” Lin Dai Yu smiled and said, “I have written a lot for you already. I will have someone deliver it to you. It is not a request.”

“It is not that.” Jia Bao Yu lowered his voice and said, “It is the brother of the Xue Family. He offended Cousin Lin and the Jinghai Count. I want to apologize for Big Brother Xue. Sister, please say some good things for him.”

Lin Dai Yu suddenly stood up and sneered. “I did not know that Second Master Bao and the Xue Family’s cousinly relation is a true relation, and you are distant from the Lin Family. Otherwise, why do you not speak for my brother, and beg for mercy for the Xue Family? It can be seen in your heart, the Xue Family is more important than the Lin Family. Do I not know my own brother? He is not a person who will cause trouble. I have never seen him in conflict with any of his classmates. The Jinghai Count is a trusted official of the people. Would such a person not know right or wrong? He will not degrade for no reason. Second Master Bao will help those close to him, and not those in the right. Since we are not your relatives, Second Master Bao, why bother to lower yourself and come here? Just leave.”

Jia Bao Yu gaped, dumbfounded. A long time later, he said, “if I have such thoughts, let me die.”

Lin Dai Yu stood up to leave and said, “Such a good day, and you come to my house seeking death. Why? If I do not agree to the Xue Family’s matter, will you stay here and refuse to leave?”

“I do not have such thoughts, it just came out. Sister, do not say these things that stab me in the heart. Sister, you know who is close and who is not,” Jia Bao Yu said angrily, “Not for anything else, just for my heart, Sister should not say such things.”

Lin Dai Yu said in a low voice, “Just leave. We have talked all this time. If Daddy comes back and sees you, he will ask you about your studies.”

Jia Bao Yu changed expression and said, “Sister, why go to the trouble of scaring me like this?” However, he did not linger, and made his farewells.

Lin Yu Yang was in his study, and saw Lin Ping come in. He said, “What, has he left?” In reality, he had returned long ago, but did not go to disturb the two.

“Yes! I had the guards observe from afar to avoid any accidents occurring along the way, and not being able to explain to the Jia Family,” Lin Ping reported.

Translator Ramblings: I have no idea if Jia Bao Yu’s characteristics have been exaggerated or if this is actually similar to his character in Dream of Red Chamber.
