[Comprehensive Red House] Infinite Merit

Mother Jia on the other end held the chopsticks and looked a little tired, so the group had to go back home.

Mother Jia came over and told Baoyu: "Look at your sister Lin, don't let her eat too much crab, she will get sick." She also told Baochai and Xiangyun not to eat too much, and asked Youyi: "You look at your younger brothers and sisters. Ladies, don't let them mess around. When Lan'er comes back, let him play too, he's a kid, it's not good to stick to studying every day."

Youyi responded with a smile, and Jiamu said again: "It's windy here, sit inside."

Everyone agreed, and Jia Mu took the people away. Looking back, everyone was still eating, drinking and joking here, and when the poems were finished, they had to judge again.

Today Daiyu has shown her great talent, and she is the only one among the top three. Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate her.Everyone knew that she was careful about taking care of her body, and it was not good to use too many crabs today, so they didn't talk about her and just let her go.

The Baochai ordered people to heat up the crabs and come in, and everyone ate them again on the big round table. After a while, Ping'er came over, and gave Suyun a small wooden box with a delicate and delicate hand. After a few words of advice, everyone would know It is Du Ruo's body deed.

He also said that Wang Xifeng wanted crabs, and Xiangyun hurriedly ordered someone to pick a big one and bring them over. Ping'er said again, "I want crabs with round navels."

The first daughter-in-law agreed to back down, and Xiangyun took Ping'er to sit down again, and only let the mother-in-law go back with the food box, saying: "Tell Lian's second sister-in-law that we have left Ping'er in her family. I want those good things to redeem!"

The old woman backed away with a smile, and when she came back later, she held the box in her hand, bowed to the crowd, imitating what Wang Xifeng said, and laughed a little: "Our grandma said: these two water chestnut cakes and chicken oil The rolls were brought by my uncle and wife, for the girls to eat. Miss Ping’er doesn’t need to redeem them anymore, so she keeps them here and waits for her to come back when she has something good.”

Having said this, everyone laughed, and just flattened: "Your master doesn't want you this time."

Ping'er laughed while sitting, and was pushed to drink two cups. At this time, the wind was also cold, and everyone asked for the thick boiled water of chrysanthemum leaves to wash their hands, and they dispersed.But they also made an appointment to go to Mrs. Jia Muwang's room to greet her.

It was getting dark here, and everyone went to Jia Mu's room again. After sitting for a while, they saw Zhou Rui's family coming, and replied to Wang Xifeng: "Grandma Liu wants to go home. I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the city at night." Wang Xifeng spoke. She was kept overnight, and Jia's mother at the other end asked carefully, and Wang Xifeng explained the reasons one by one: "Grandma Liu came back last night. She was a distant relative of my family who couldn't get along with her. She came to ask for help. Seeing that she is 80 to 20 years old, I donated [-] taels of silver, and now I brought fresh melons and fruits from the field to pay my respects!"

After hearing this, Jia's mother said, "This man is also a good man. I'm just looking for an old man with a long history to talk to. Please come and meet me."

Wang Xifeng thought about it for a while, then agreed, and told Zhou Rui's family: "Bring Grandma Liu in, and speak softly."

Zhou Rui's family agreed after hearing this, and not long after they left, they brought in an old man who was dressed in old clothes but cleaned up well.

The mother of Jia talked to her again, asked about some household affairs, and saw that it was time for dinner, and then picked two kinds of her own dishes for Grandma Liu, and everyone knew that Grandma Liu liked her, so after the meal, Wang Xifeng urged Liu Grandma came to Jiamu courtyard quickly.Yuanyang asked her to take a bath, picked two of her clothes for her to put on, tried her best to dress up decently, and then brought them to Jia Mu.

Grandma Liu was indeed a witty talker, but she was so clumsy that no one could tell.Now I have told two or three stories, which are also a coincidence. The first one moved Baoyu's mood, and the latter one matched the wishes of Jiamu and Mrs. Wang.

This is something to say later, let's say that Grandma Liu told a mysterious story first, and before she said the result, the text came out later, when suddenly there was a commotion outside, and someone said don't scare the old lady.Mother Jia hurriedly asked what was the matter. Knowing that the stables in the south courtyard were flooded, she hurried out to look.

Jia Mu told Yuanyang again: "Don't forget to light incense to make an offering to the God of Vulcan when you turn around." Yuanyang agreed with a smile, and led Jia Mu back to the house.

Baoyu was still thinking about the country talk just now, but Jia's mother told Grandma Liu to tell another story, and she felt that she couldn't get up and down all the time.

Tanchun was discussing with him about returning Xiangyun's seat, but he was only thinking about the girl in the first story, so he was not interested.

In the evening, Mother Jia discussed returning the banquet to Xiangyun. Baoyu had already got a promise from Grandma Liu at this time, and she was looking forward to it. Yunyun, just how high is each person, prepare two favorite dishes, and then an assorted heart box and a self-filling pot.

After hearing this, Jia Mu nodded and said yes, so she ordered to go on, and it was getting late, so she ordered people to light the lamps, and then they dispersed.

On the second day, the weather was rare and clear, and the autumn air was crisp. Youyi had to get up early to watch the people sweep the fallen leaves, tidy up the garden, wipe the tables and chairs, and prepare the wine saucers and tea utensils.Biyue took care of all these carefully, as long as she stood there, she didn't have to worry about it, and it was easy.

Feng'er on the other end brought grandma Liu and Ban'er in, chatted and joked with each other, then handed over the key and told Wang Xifeng's instructions.

After hearing this, Youyi nodded again and again, and told Suyun to take the key to open the attic, and let the boy on the second door come in to carry the table.

Going up to the Daguan Tower again, watching the young servants and women busy, they asked Grandma Liu: "Grandma and I go up and have a look?"

Grandma Liu couldn't be happier, so she followed Youyi up to the attic, and went into the warehouse to have a look.

The attic was also piled up with various things in a mess. Grandma Liu was full of chanting, and Youyi looked at it casually, and then turned to leave.

Grandma Liu suddenly said, "Grandma, your bracelet has fallen."

As she said, she picked up something from the ground and got up, and Yuyi looked at it: it was a thin sterling silver filigree bracelet with small emerald egg faces embedded on it, very elegant, delicate and beautiful.Although it doesn't weigh much in your hand, you can tell it's not cheap just by looking at the texture of the emerald.

Youyi took it with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid the buckle is loose, so I didn't notice it."

As he spoke, he casually handed it to the girl, and said to Grandma Liu, "Grandma, there's nothing interesting in this room, let me go out and have a look."

Youyi told the boat lady to get ready, and picked the chrysanthemums blooming in the yard at the other end, and put them on a lotus-leaf-style emerald plate. Youyi told Yun Xin to hold them, and wanted to go out to meet Jiamu.

At the other end, Jiamu led a large group of people in and said a few words. Jiamu picked a bright red chrysanthemum and put it in a bun. Wang Xifeng said to Grandma Liu: "Grandma, I will dress you up. "

As he said that, he met Yuanyang's eyes, no matter what 21 went up, he stuck the plate of chrysanthemums on Grandma Liu's head all over the place, looking at it from a distance, he thought some old lady had lost her mind and went crazy Woolen cloth.

Youyi frowned slightly watching from the side, and Sanchun quietly walked to her side without saying a word.

Talking and laughing at this end, I walked slowly, sat on the Qinfang Bridge, and then arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Mother Jia talked about the window screens, and mentioned things about her youth, and her eyebrows were beaming, which made people laugh.

Jia Mu assigned the place where the soft smoke was going to go, saying that the silver and red ones would be used to paste the windows for Daiyu, the blue ones would be used to make a tent, and Grandma Liu would be given one, and the rest would be lined for the girls to make vests.

After talking for a while, everyone got up and left. Before going out, Wang Xifeng pulled La Youyi, and said softly: "The gauze is still pine green. I ordered someone to make two cotton gauze quilts. No one else has them. Just the two of us covered them." , don't be angry."

Youyi smiled and said, "I have to thank Second Mistress Lian?"

"You don't need to thank me." Wang Xifeng smiled: "It's just that my little girl is always thinking about your food and drink. Don't you save honey grapefruit sauce in autumn? I'll bring a jar or two, my little girl loves Biyue's craftsmanship."

Youyi only smiled when she heard this: "Two jars of honey and grapefruit sauce will be exchanged for a soft and smoky cotton quilt? Don't worry, I will definitely let Biyue bring you more, and there are apples, do you want it?"

"That's good." Wang Xifeng nodded: "Is there any reason not to?"

Speaking on this side, a group of people went out of the door and walked by boat. Suddenly they saw a group of women on the table walking with food boxes. When they saw them, they asked Mrs. Wang where the breakfast was placed.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked Jia Mu what she meant, and Jia Mu said: "The third girl is wide and bright, let's put it there."

So breakfast was prepared in Qiushuangzhai. Youyi, Sister Feng and Yuanyang went to prepare it first. They listened to Sister Feng and Yuanyang were going to make fun of Grandma Liu.

After all, Grandma Liu is willing, and if she doesn't show her performance today, she might not get the rich gold and silver later.

Shaking her head, Youyi sighed softly, touched her empty wrist casually, and said nothing.

Sure enough, at the dinner table, Grandma Liu showed her talents and laughed up and down. Youyi watched coldly from the side, her heart was calm.

Here I sat in the Tanchun room for a while, and then went out, and then went to the boat. When I saw the building of Hengwuyuan, Jia Mu asked, "But your Miss Xue's room?"

The next stack of voices should be: "It is the house of the Junjun."

After hearing this, Grandma Liu knew that Xue Baochai was the emperor of the imperial court, and she thought it was the granddaughter of some prince. She looked at Baochai in surprise, and it was the maids who explained it to her.

Entering Hengwu Garden here, there are also two kinds of emerald and jade decorations. Although the veil and pillows are simple, you can see that they are made of good materials. Jia Mu led the people to sit for a long time, ate two bowls of tea, and left again.

The lotus root champagne has been properly arranged, and everyone had a meal there and ordered wine.Listening to Grandma Liu's simple words, I saw Daiyu casually read some sentences from the so-called "books that serious men and daughters should not read in boudoirs".Youyi poured a glass of wine and drank it slowly. Sitting there, she was cold and not easy to get close to.

When she looked up, she saw Yingchun pursing her lips and looking in her direction, with some concern and worry in her eyes, so she comforted her with a smile, indicating that she was fine.

After eating at this end, everyone continued to walk, and when they arrived at Changcui nunnery, they went in to sit again.

Qiao Yu hurriedly led people out, and served tea for everyone. Youyi watched Baochai, Daiyu and Miaoyu go in to drink Tiji tea with cold eyes. Grandma talked about housework and love.She just sat there, and Sanchun talked to her from time to time, seeing that she was not in high spirits, so he didn't bother her much.

After a day of shopping, Jia's mother felt a little uncomfortable at night, and the eldest sister of Sister Feng's family also had a problem, so she invited a doctor again.

When Youyi came back in the evening, she told Suyun: "Give that bracelet to Grandma Liu today." Then she told Biyun: "Take out two pieces of unused thick material that you bought last winter, and put that bracelet together, quietly. Send it to Grandma Liu. Give her little grandson Baner a set of enlightenment books of three hundred thousand and two little golden Kuixing, and pack it in the purse."

Biyue was a little surprised, and agreed, just smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Grandma Liu would agree to Grandma's wishes after this day."

Youyi shook her head and said nothing.

That Biyue prepared the things according to Youyi's instructions, and was going to let Yun Xin go. It happened that Sister Feng sent someone to Youyi to ask for some calming tea, so she smiled: "The people who are around us will also go later. , Mommy, let’s go back, I’ll let Yun Xin send it in a short time.”

The old woman went as she said, and Suyun and Yunxin went there not long after, and delivered the calming tea that Sister Feng wanted, and asked Grandma Liu to go to Ping'er's room.

There was a kang in Ping'er's room, and Grandma Liu was overwhelmed with gratitude. Ping'er laughed when she saw Yun Xin coming in with a big bundle of things, and said, "What did Grandma order you to bring here?"

Yun Xin smiled: "Grandma also agrees with our grandma, why don't you tell me to bring something?"

Grandma Liu was surprised and delighted, and heard Yun Xin say one by one: "These two pieces of material are the winter clothes we bought last year. They are the thickest and softest, but they are not used up. Today, grandma ordered, and sister Biyue found them." Come out and give it to grandma. Don’t think it’s an old one. In fact, it’s very well preserved and looks just like the new one.”

As he spoke, he opened the bundle, and sure enough, apart from a small bundle on top, there were two horses of brightly colored and thick cloth.Grandma Liu was so overjoyed that she chanted "Amitabha" several times, and Yun Xin opened your little bag again, pointing to the things inside: "This is the Three Character Classic, Hundred Surnames, Thousand Character Classic, Three enlightenment books, and—"

She reached out and took out the small pouch with the autumn fragrance embroidered with Wuzi Dengke, and took out two little golden Kuixing stars from inside to show Grandma Liu: "This thing is a good idea, it is not heavy, but it has a good meaning. These three things are from the board." .”

Grandma Liu narrowed her eyes for joy, and said: "Ban'er can read books, that means smoke is coming from the ancestral grave."

"Grandma, please don't be happy, the smoke will come later." Yun Xin smiled, and took a light blue embroidered magnolia flower brocade pouch from her sleeve. When she opened it, it turned out to be the bracelet in the daytime. I gave it to Grandma Liu, and said with a smile: "Don't look at this as silver, but it is more valuable than ordinary gold. Although the buckle is loose, you can live your life if you pawn it later, or buy pens and ink for Ban'er to go to school. It belongs to our grandma. It means: You picked this thing, it is destined for you, so I will give it to you. Don’t look at our grandma as if she is stingy, in fact, if you didn’t close your eyes, how could you let me and Sister Suyun run away? How about a trip?"

"Don't be stingy, don't be stingy." Grandma Liu hurriedly said: "I am very surprised by this. You said that there is no reason for this. I just want to kowtow to Grandma!"

As she was about to kneel down again, Yun Xin hurriedly held her back and said, "Our grandma doesn't like this the most, so you don't have to."

Ping'er also supported Grandma Liu and joked: "Although this bracelet is light and handy, if you pawn it later, it is worth one or two hundred silver! Don't be fooled by the shopkeeper."

After hearing this, Grandma Liu didn't dare to accept it anymore, Yun Xin persuaded her a few more times, and only said: "There is no reason for us to return the things our grandma gave away."

After finishing talking, he also left.

In the evening, Ping'er talked about this matter with Wang Xifeng again. Wang Xifeng squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly smiled lightly and said: "My sister-in-law, it is wrong to say that she is cold-hearted, she is the most compassionate person. .”

"Grandma, what do you mean?" Ping'er asked while making the bed.

Wang Xifeng said: "She feels sorry for the fact that we played tricks on Grandma Liu during the day! Besides, she asked for 8000 taels of silver to build a garden in front of her, so she knew that her family was also rich. Look now, Even me, I may not be able to take out the silver!"

While removing the hairpin, she sighed: "In the past, it was okay when the dowry was complete, but you have taken care of the house for these years, how many things have been taken out? Even if there is money and silver, most of them will be added. Now that the family accounts are settled, after all these years, the housekeeper is not as good as when he was just married."

After hearing this, Ping'er let out a long sigh, and the master and servant changed the topic tacitly.
