Ring Lord of the Red Chamber
Chapter 018
After crossing the north-south road, Jia Xiaohuan went south to the hanging flower gate of Rongqing Hall, and just now she officially stepped on the territory of the old lady Jia Mu.Passing through the hanging flower gate, passing through the corridor and the flower hall, he was stopped by the little maidservant at the gate.Further inside is Jia Mu's upper room, and he, Jia Huan, is not qualified to enter directly.
Jia Xiaohuan didn't care about being hung outside the courtyard door of the upper room, and there were many flowers and birds hanging in the corridors on both sides, which didn't make him bored.As for Jin Chuan'er, who was under supervision by the way, she had already entered the courtyard of the upper room, chatting with someone.
When she was called in by the little maid who was going to communicate, Jia Xiaohuan was still a little surprised.After all, since he came to pay his respects to Jia Mu, it is rare to see him ten times a year, 360 days a year.And this pitiful mere few times, we have to count the festivals and Jiamu's birthday.Now, he just reported his illness for more than a month, so he wouldn't think that Jia's mother missed him.
The doubt in her heart, Jia Xiaohuan just put it behind her in a flash.He didn't care what the old lady Jiamu thought, and the two of them were never just a matter of saving face.In fact, even face affection is nothing more than hypocrisy.After reliving her whole life, Jia Xiaohuan didn't intend to cooperate with her any more and play tricks of being unfilial.
Now it's September, and the bamboo curtains outside the Rongqing Hall's upper room have been replaced with brocade ones, embroidered with patterns of wealth and wealth, and extravagantly clustered with flowers.A maidservant by the door lifted the curtain and called Jia Huan in without raising her voice.
Jia Xiaohuan entered the door, before he could go around the screen outside, he heard the grandparents talking and laughing inside.At the moment, I couldn't help but wonder again, with Jia Baoyu, who is as precious as a phoenix egg, by my side, why did Jia's mother allow him, who hates cats and dogs, to come in?
"Old Ancestor, you should send someone there again. You must bring Sister Lin over here. I always hear you say how Sister Lin is. I don't know how much I like it. I have been looking forward to seeing Sister Lin for a long time. It's a pity that Sister Lin has been living in the south with Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin. Now that Auntie is gone, Sister Lin is alone. I don't know how many grievances she has to suffer. You have to take her here as soon as possible. Come to our family, one can make sister Lin grow up safely, and the other can fulfill my wish for my grandson. Old ancestor, please, old ancestor..."
"Okay, okay, okay, slow down, don't worry if you fall... Don't worry, Baoyu. The ancestors have already delivered a letter to your Uncle Lin, and I'm afraid it's time to go to Yangzhou by now. Wait for Uncle Lin to see I wrote the letter. I think it will not be long before your sister Lin will come to our house. When the time comes, I will let you see her well. It is not my compliment. As long as my granddaughter has eight points of your aunt, she will be rare in the world. Some..."
Just listening to this conversation, Jia Xiaohuan could imagine how Jia Baoyu rolled around like a baby in Jia Mu's arms, and how Jia Mu pampered and hugged and caressed him.
Speaking of it, he didn't know how envious and jealous he was about this, and he always wished he could replace it with his own body.Without him, Jia Baoyu is still two years older than himself, but he can act like a baby with his grandmother without any scruples, but what about him, Jia Huan?Hehe, it's hard to even meet each other.Obviously they are both grandsons, but they are just a concubine, that is a world of difference.
Fortunately, he has thought about it now, and understands that the elders' pampering is not a blessing or a curse.
Listening to the gossip inside, Jia Xiaohuan slowly appeared in front of Jia's mother, and by the way, she also saw the bored uncle Jia She who was sitting aside.Seeing him, Jia Huan finally understood in his heart that he was able to enter the upper room today, probably because of the honor of this uncle.
Still thinking about Mother Jia bowing to salute, Jia Xiaohuan turned around to salute Grand Master Amnesty, so she didn't have to wait for Mother Jia to excuse her.Sure enough, when he was called to get up by his uncle, Mother Jia seemed to see him and gave him a straight look.For this reason, Jia Xiaohuan couldn't help feeling wronged, and secretly gave Mr. Xi a watery look.
The play still has to go on!
Master She received that small look, so he didn't smile, he quickly picked up the tea and took a sip, covering the corners of his upturned mouth.This little guy is addicted to it, and even pretends to be pitiful with him, not afraid of being beaten by the master.Alas, if he hadn't thought of the child's address to Yi Shui'er's elder that day, he might not be able to figure out the little guy's mind.
You see, this is still in front of many people. Calling grandma is the old lady, but calling him the uncle.What does this mean?Master She doesn't want to think about it any further, but I'm afraid this little guy didn't treat the old lady too close!
It's just... Jia She raised his eyes to look at Jia's mother above him, and then glanced at the maids and women around him, shaking his head secretly in his heart.It's just that, in this family, I'm afraid no one will care about this.After all, a bastard brought up by a concubine is nothing more than a bastard, who cares what he thinks?like...
Jia She's eyes suddenly darkened, just like him back then, so what if he is the eldest son?As long as they didn't grow up under their husband and wife's knees, it would be as if they weren't their own. They could be ignored as much as they wanted, and they could be practiced as they wanted. Who would care about his thoughts?
"Now that you have recovered from your illness, you should pay attention to your body in the future. It's not right for a child to be sick all day long. Speaking of which, it's because your aunt doesn't work, and she doesn't know what to do all day long. The little baby is not good either. The third girl is of the same mother as you. Seeing how healthy she is, she hasn't been called a doctor twice since she was a child." Jia's mother didn't like Jia Huan at all, but just now she saw that she didn't want to wait. After speaking by himself, he went to salute Jia Amnesty, which inevitably made him even more unwelcoming.Therefore, frowning is a rebuke.
Jia Xiaohuan didn't want to get involved with her, so she just curled up and lowered her head, pretending to be cowardly and petty.His demeanor can especially reassure the old lady.It's just that Mr. Xi probably felt some sympathy, but he couldn't stand it any longer, so he cleared his throat and spoke.
"Old lady, how can it be the same? Let's not talk about how many people are serving in Baoyu's house, but around the girls in our family, there are also many maids, mothers, and nuns who have been serving since childhood. But I How do you hear that Huan'er doesn't even have a big maid to support her? Oh, there was a nanny at the beginning, but she seems to have resigned later."
"Huan'er is still so young, and he doesn't have any maids around him. What's the use of relying on his aunt and two little maids to serve him?" Elder She said, his face could not help but feel sad, " Old lady, I always heard you say that the second family is a good one, many times better than my Xing family. But this is how she treats concubines, not even a maid? How can I see, She is far behind the Xing family, at least my Cong'er should have quite a few maids and mothers around her."
Jia's mother was going to say a few more words, so she told Jia Huan to go back, so as not to let him disturb her and Baoyu here for fun.Only at this moment when Jia She said these words, she immediately choked up, and she couldn't help but think about it.
What does Jia pardon him mean?Do you want to seek power for the Xing family by catching up on such a trivial matter?Or, does Jia She have other intentions in his heart?Could it be that he still intends to tarnish Zheng'er's reputation?
That's right, Jia Xiaohuan's grandson is unattended, so it's just a trivial matter; that's right, what Jia She said just now was definitely not for Jia Huan's sake, there must be ulterior motives; that's right, in Jia's mother's heart , Jia She, Jia Enhou——that's how the Grand Master She has evil intentions.
"What nonsense! You are a man, what do you know about the women's house in the back house? Brother Huan has no one to serve him. It's not the fault of his aunt. How many considerate and meticulous maids have been driven away. Who's to blame? Don't tell me how he is like Brother Huan, how can Brother Cong be any better? You look like a living monkey with black brows and black lips all day long, but you say your wife is useful, I don't know what to do. How many people laughed out their teeth."
When Jia's mother counted down the big house and the couple, she was always merciless, so she said right away that it was embarrassing for the old man.Jia Xiaohuan stood on the side, just as if she was watching a play, and she couldn't help but feel sad for this uncle.
Hmph, Mother Jia looks down on the eldest wife, Mrs. Xing so much now, then who begged for such an eldest daughter-in-law in the first place?If it is the uncle himself, Jia Xiaohuan is a hundred thousand people who don't believe it. It's no wonder that he can see the mediocre Mrs. Xing.Then in this Rongguo mansion, who else can influence the eldest uncle to marry a wife?That is Jia Mu and his wife.
A woman who is obviously so disliked, but still wants her eldest son to marry her into the family as his successor, what is Jia Mu's plan?Could it be that she has some brain problems and some masochistic tendencies?Haha, the answer is self-evident!
Jia Xiaohuan was slandering herself secretly, when she heard Jia's mother say impatiently: "Forget it, forget it, since you are lazy to go to Yangzhou, then go back and have a rest. My Min'er is suffering on both sides, and in the end there is nothing Aside from being able to see relatives, there is not even a relative behind me. Even my poor granddaughter, I don’t know how to come to Beijing. Sigh, what did I do to give birth to such a child? Unfilial, telling me to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person, it really hurts me..." At the end, he wiped his tears angrily.
In the past when she used this trick, Jia Amnesty would always take her orders no matter whether he wanted to or not.After all, she is his own mother, if he dares to refuse, then his already ruined reputation may never be able to have it again.But today's Master Pardon is beyond Jia Mu's expectations.
"Since the old lady said so, then I will resign. Originally, although I have never held a real job, I still have a title on my head. The second child, a young man, is going out of the capital. It is very troublesome, let alone It’s me. It’s rare for an old lady to be sympathetic to me when she sympathizes with her second child. It really makes me lose my mind. Huaner, hurry up and help the uncle, so that the uncle won’t wait a while If you get lost in your own mansion, what if you reach Rongxi Hall."
After Jia Amnesty finished speaking, he grabbed Jia Xiaohuan's hand and pulled him out of the upper room.It's not that the master is meddlesome. Today, he contradicted the old lady so much, she didn't know how angry she was.If such a little guy was left behind, he might be angered.The Eldest Master was kind-hearted, and he had no regard for this nephew, who was about to suffer unjustified disasters, so he simply took him away.Just leave Jia Baoyu's precious egg to the old lady, what will happen to the love between grandparents and grandchildren!
Jia Xiaohuan didn't care about being hung outside the courtyard door of the upper room, and there were many flowers and birds hanging in the corridors on both sides, which didn't make him bored.As for Jin Chuan'er, who was under supervision by the way, she had already entered the courtyard of the upper room, chatting with someone.
