Ring Lord of the Red Chamber

"Oh, who is this? I have no time to relax all day long...there are so many maids and daughter-in-laws in the house, and they insist on kicking us, just to fill up most of her love... just finished eating, I don't know what to do to make people..." Amidst Aunt Zhao's low-pitched complaints, Jia Xiaohuan watched her go away.

To Jia Huan's regret, the maid who came to call his mother was not Caixia.He lit the fire that day, but he didn't know what happened to Caixia when she found out.However, at any rate, Ni Er is still there, presumably the couple will be able to live and work in peace and contentment.

It was little Ji Xiang'er who followed Aunt Zhao and left Xiao Que to wait on Jia Huan.But today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and most of the servants in the house are looking for opportunities to get together to play, so Xiao Que naturally couldn't bear it anymore, and went out for any reason.She wanted to go to the old lady's side to play and talk with the maids in Master Bao's room.Even if she can't get a big maid in her capacity, there are still many second and third class ones.

Jia Xiaohuan didn't care about her heart.He was the only one left in the small courtyard that was quite lively just now.Jia Xiaohuan knew that if he was still that five or six-year-old kid, he would have gone off to play around by now.But now, he lost that thought and got up and went to the yard.

Back then, although he was lucky enough to be in the eyes of his master, and he was said to be in good health, but he was already past the age of practicing kung fu, and after two or three years of hard work, he was still just an appearance.But now it's different. Doing it again will give him a chance to truly inherit the mantle of his master and develop a good skill.

As for the future, Jia Xiaohuan was not in a hurry to plan.After all, no matter how urgent the desire in his heart is, it is still too early for him to be still young and there is no one useful around him.Simply put, the Jia family has not reached the time when the fire is cooking oil and the flowers are blooming. He still has a few years to take his time.

At noon, Xiao Que brought a food box to Jia Xiaohuan, and hurried to play again.Mrs. Wang seemed to have some errands, Aunt Zhao didn't come back for lunch, she just asked Xiao Ji Xianger to come back and have a look.It was evening soon, and the banquet had already started at Rongqing Hall.

Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival tonight, the moonlight is not clear. The full moon seems shy and disgusted to hide behind the hazy clouds.Therefore, the banquet was placed in Jiamu's upper room.And because they are all from our own family, even though men and women are seated separately, they are not separated by screens or the like.

Following Jia Mu's seat, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and others all took their seats one by one in order.In the huge upper room, five or six large and small round tables were set up, but it didn't look crowded at all.The masters all sat down, and the accompanying maids and wives either stood neatly on both sides, or stood behind the master, waiting to serve and serve dishes later.

Aunt Zhao is the one standing on both sides. Although Mrs. Wang likes to set rules for her, it is not uncommon for her to serve her personally.At first, Aunt Zhao thought it was okay if her brother Huan didn't come, but now seeing Second Master Bao and the three girls sitting together, joking and whispering, she felt that Brother Huan didn't come. What a loss.

This Brother Huan is really an unlucky seed!

When she was upset and swearing at others, Aunt Zhao felt her arm was pinched by someone around her, she quickly recovered and heard, "Aunt Zhao, the old lady is asking you something, why don't you hurry up and answer."

It was Mrs. Wang who was speaking. When Aunt Zhao peeked over, she saw the contempt and disdain in this woman's eyes, and she couldn't help curling her lips secretly.But he didn't dare to show anything on his face, he hurriedly took two steps forward with his head down, and knelt down beside the old lady with a flattering smile on his face.

When Jia Mu saw her appearance, she frowned unhappily, knowing that this servant hadn't heard her question at all.Alas, when this servant was serving in front of him, he didn't look like this. How did he become like this now? It's really lucky that Zheng'er can keep her by his side for his own sake.

"I'm asking Brother Huan? This Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunion. Now that the whole family is here, how about waiting for him to be a child?" Jia Mu was pleased with her son's consideration and respect for her. I didn't bother to argue with Aunt Zhao, so I asked again.Of course, she didn't forget to criticize Brother Huan, it's really inappropriate for a junior to make so many elders wait.

Aunt Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and she even regretted not calling her son.But now that it's like this, she could only cry, covering her eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "If you go back to the old lady, it's not that Brother Huan came late, it's really that Brother Huan has been ill since the end of last month. It’s not easy yet. Isn’t it afraid that you and the master and wives will get sick and dare not come here..."

"Okay, you can step back." On this happy day of the festival, she had to hear that someone was sick. Mother Jia was very disturbed, and Aunt Zhao interrupted her before she could finish speaking.Xu Shi felt that this was not kind enough, so she paused and said: "Since Brother Huan can't come over, Yuanyang, you ask someone to add two dishes to him, and send him a few more months of cakes. Serve the dishes!"

The eldest maid, Yuanyang, agreed, and went out to order the maids to come in and hold a banquet, and by the way, asked people to see what was left in the kitchen, and sent two things to Mr. Huan.

Aunt Zhao was quite relieved that her son could have additional food, and she retreated to her seat with a slumped head.At the same time, she didn't forget to shake Aunt Zhou's hand secretly to show her gratitude for the reminder.If Aunt Zhou hadn't pinched her to make her recover quickly, she might have to be punished by her wife again.

Although the moonlight outside was not very good, the atmosphere in the upper room of Rongqing Hall was joyous.After the banquet was served, the family of the four generations lived together laughing and drinking together, very much like a wealthy family.Especially in the second half of the banquet, Jiamu ordered people to remove the dishes and put the wine on again, as well as moon cakes, watermelon, red dates and longan and other pastries, fruits and dried fruits.

Because she couldn't enjoy the moonlight in the house, Jia Mu simply asked someone to pick a sweet-scented osmanthus, and ordered someone to sit behind the screen and play drums, and played drumming and passing flowers with her sons, grandsons, and great-grandchildren.This game is actually a tradition of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Jia Mansion. When the drum beats, whoever owns the flower will be punished with a drink and a joke must be told.

This time, the sweet-scented osmanthus was passed into the hands of the elder Jia She.He is also not stage fright, he took a glass of wine with a smile and drank it down, then pondered for a while, and when all the eyes in the room looked at him, he was about to tell the joke.

It's just that, before Grand Master Xi's joke was out of his mouth, he was interrupted by a notification from outside, saying that it was Mr. Lin's family from Yangzhou who had come.The Elder Master was interrupted the opportunity to show off, he was naturally very dissatisfied, Dang even frowned.

"Old lady, I also said that the Mid-Autumn Festival is almost over. Why hasn't the gift from my aunt's house been delivered yet? But it turns out that they are rushing to surprise you." The one who spoke was Wang Xifeng, Now she has stood beside Jia Mu.Just now, it was a joke with Jia's mother that he praised the second master Jia Zheng, and now he praised his aunt Jia Min.

Jia's mother was also very happy when she heard the words. She had been concerned about her daughter because of etiquette, but now that her son-in-law's family has come, she can't help but feel relieved.Immediately, he didn't care about the ugly face of the eldest son, and ordered someone to come in to answer with a smile on his face. By the way, he showed the gift from his daughter's family, lest some people always feel that she is partial to her daughter.

Uncle Lin's family was also a founding honor, four generations of nobles, and now he is on the job of inspecting the salt censor in front of Yangzhou, so it goes without saying that the family is rich.What's even more rare is that this Lin family is passed down from generation to generation, and there is no need to divide any family property.

Because most of the people here have female relatives, the servant of the Lin family who was called in was a woman. After a closer look, Jia's mother found that she knew her, and she was one of her daughter's companions.She had a smile on her face, and when she wanted to ask a question, she suddenly stopped the smile on her face.There is no other reason, but the woman's face was full of sadness, and she shed tears when she saw her.

"Old lady, old lady... our wife, she has gone!"

The mother-in-law cried out, but it was very clear in Jia's mother's ears.It's a pity that this clarity only lasted for a moment, and she became dizzy and passed away with her eyes rolled.The bad news came so suddenly that she was not psychologically prepared at all, so how could she bear it.

"Oh, old lady, old lady... Hurry up, help her old man... Bring snuff... Go ask the imperial physician..."

When Jia's mother fell like this, the whole upper room of Rongqing Hall was in chaos.From the master to the servant, everyone rushed to join Jia Mu, for fear that the old lady would not see herself when she opened her eyes.

At this time, Wang Xifeng was most annoyed, while assigning someone to invite the doctor, he secretly used his eyes to gouge out the stupid woman who was kneeling on the ground.Just now she said that the aunt came to give the old lady a surprise, which is good!

"Shock" is really a big shock, and drove away "Hi".

To say that today is also strange, it is obviously a good day for family reunion, why is it so unlucky? !First, Brother Huan, who was afraid of being sick, came out, and now the Lin family sent even more bad news!If I had known this was the case, I would have waited until tomorrow to invite the Lin family to come in, so as not to have a good holiday, but I have to call a doctor in, which is very unlucky!

There were many people crowded on Jiamu's side, and Mr. She was just a step behind, and impatiently moved closer.Besides, he had to ask carefully, what happened to the Lin family?His good sister is only in her early thirties now, how could she disappear?Besides, there must be some signs before the person disappears, so why is there no news from the Jia family?

"Returning to the old man, our wife contracted a cold in early July, and didn't pay much attention at first, but who knew that it took only more than half a month to get sick. Although the old man invited many famous doctors, In the end, it's still, it's still..." The mother-in-law didn't dare to hide anything, and hurriedly told how her wife died of illness.She was also afraid, if something happened to the old lady here, her life might not be saved.

Mr. She is still waiting to be questioned. Over there, Mother Jia has come to her senses. She will not let anyone carry her into the inner room. She must call the old lady over there.She has to ask carefully how her good Min'er got there.

A Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Rongqing Hall inevitably ended hastily because of the sad news of the death of his aunt Jia Min.The masters had something to ask, so Aunt Zhao rolled up her sleeves and went back to her yard.As soon as he entered the door, he called Jia Xiaohuan cheerfully, "Brother Huan, come quickly and have a look, I brought you something nice."
