Xichun, the first daughter of the Red Chamber

Seeing Jiang's mother brought Xichun in, and after Xichun and the others saluted, Wang Xifeng stepped forward to hug Xichun, "Hey, what's wrong with our sister Xichun? Why doesn't she look energetic, but she hasn't been ill before. Take care of it?"

How dare Mother Jiang really let Wang Xifeng embrace Xichun?But watching Wang Xifeng stretch out her hand, she didn't dare to let Xichun dodge, so she stood aside to protect Xichun carefully, holding Xichun with one hand.

Hearing Wang Xifeng's question, Jiang's mother replied: "Miss Si has recovered from her illness a long time ago, but she didn't sleep well last night."

No matter how young Xichun was, she was more than three years old. How could a young lady like Wang Xifeng bear the weight of several tens of catties?In less than 2 minutes, Xichun felt that she was sliding down, and Wang Xifeng's bracelet and ring were so painful in many places on her body.

Hearing Jiang's mother say that Xichun didn't sleep well last night, Jia's mother frowned, and most of the joy before was gone, "Didn't you press the baby's peace charm under sister Xi's pillow last night?"

Jiang's mother shook her body slightly, lowered her head, and replied in a low voice: "Respond to the old lady's words, I'm overwhelmed."

Mother Jia's expression became even more somber. Seeing that Xichun hadn't spoken, the room suddenly fell silent.

Xichun moved in Wang Xifeng's arms, which meant that she wanted to go down.

Wang Xifeng couldn't hold Xichun for a long time, so she took advantage of the situation and let Xichun down. After Xichun stood firm, she looked up at Mother Jiang and stretched out her hands.

Jiang's mother squatted down and straightened the clothes on Xichun's body. After finishing the clothes, Xichun took a look and pointed to her skirt, "It's a little longer here."

The current clothes consist of a top and a skirt, and a coat over it. Xichun is a small person, so she directly puts on the top and skirt, and the skirts are all tied around the waist. Just now, the skirt was a little loose and sagging.

Mother Jiang tightened her skirt again, and this time, Xichun nodded solemnly, "This is the way to go."

Mother Jiang just got up.

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Look, old lady, you're only a grown man, so you already know this."

Mother Jia's complexion improved slightly, but she still didn't speak.

Wang Xifeng flirted with Yuanyang, and Yuanyang immediately said: "If you want to talk about it, it's better to be taught by the old lady. None of the young masters and ladies below have learned etiquette early on. The year before last, Master Baoyu was such a small person, it was rare for him to go out to play, and he brought back a bunch of good things to present to the old lady, and those children of his age who only wanted to play, but Master Baoyu It's no wonder that you are so sensible and filial, others say that if a family has a good family style, it can be seen from a child."

"That's not true." Amber on the side also answered: "This family tradition has been formed from generation to generation. The elders have outstanding virtues, and the younger generations have been fascinated by them, so naturally they will follow suit."

Jiamu's face looked better now, "What about the elders and juniors, you can pour me the old woman with ecstasy soup."

Wang Xifeng gently shook Jia Mu's arm, "Old Ancestor, you have wronged people. What kind of ecstasy soup, these are the truth. If nothing else, let's talk about our eldest lady. Didn't you teach it? Ouch, if you don't teach me, I'll stay here today!"

As soon as these words came out, Jia's mother couldn't hold back anymore, she smiled and nodded Wang Xifeng's head, "You! Good! You stay here today, and I will teach you slowly! Even if Lian'er comes to pick you up, you are not allowed to leave !"

Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have been married for several months, but their relationship is still very good. Today, they blushed when they were teased by Jia's mother.

Everyone laughed even more.

Only Xichun and the others didn't smile, Xichun looked at them curiously, as if she didn't understand why they were laughing.

Mother Jia glanced at Xichun, "Okay, let her be carried down and let her sleep for a while, if I can't fall asleep, I won't be energetic all day."

Jiang's mother saluted and said yes, and wanted to leave with Xichun in her arms.

Xichun dodged, looked at Jia Mu, and said hesitantly: "But... I don't want to sleep." Then added in a low voice, "The auntie was crying so sadly, I have to kowtow to my father today."

There was a silence of laughter in the room, Mother Jia looked at Xichun as if she wanted to see through her.

Wang Xifeng was suspicious, so Ping'er leaned into her ear and explained the whole story.

After listening, Wang Xifeng lowered his eyes.

In her opinion, it is only natural for Xichun to be filial to her parents. Even if Jia Jing became a monk, Xichun should kowtow in front of her mother's tablet, but Jia's mother refused, so she couldn't say anything , It's just that today's incident clearly has an inside story, but she doesn't know it, which makes her a little curious, but she also understands that she is a new wife now, and it's best not to interfere in these matters.

Just looking at Xichun Xiaoxiao's face full of uneasiness, Wang Xifeng is still a little soft-hearted.

Wang Xifeng pressed the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, "Old Ancestor, it's a good thing that Xichun wants to be filial to her father. It shows that our children are filial and courteous. If she wants to go, she will send a few maids to accompany her to Ningguo Just a trip to the government."

Ever since Jia Jing came to the mountain, isn't his birthday celebrated in the mansion every year?It's hard for the female relatives to go out, so they kowtow to the high chair, and it's fine if they think about it.

Mother Jia also thought of this, and waved her hand, "Okay, then let her go, just kowtow, but the little person has clean eyes, be careful, and don't go where she shouldn't go." She went to kowtow and offer incense in front of her mother's memorial tablet.

Xichun felt a little uncomfortable, she didn't understand what kind of feud between Jia's mother and her mother had, and they still acted like this.

But Xichun still looked relieved and satisfied.

Jiang's mother also had mixed feelings in her heart, but she also didn't show anything on her face. She saluted respectfully and left with Xichun.

After leaving the door, Ru Hua greeted him immediately, but the little man was holding a big oil-paper umbrella, trying hard to cover Xi Chun from the sun.

The color screen was gone.

Jiang's mother sighed, "Put the umbrella away, there is no need for shade in the sun at this moment."

Ruhua put away the umbrella, and the three of them walked back again. Halfway there, they met Yingchun and Tanchun who came to pay their respects.

A group of people came, but there was no sound at all. When they saw them, they passed by as if they hadn't seen anything.

Xichun looked into the crowd, Yingchun was older, now she seldom let her mother hug her, she almost walks by herself, her back is straight, her eyes are not squinting, but her complexion is dull, faint She flinched, but Tanchun, who was being hugged, looked left and right with her eyes, saw her, and smiled silently at her.

After returning to the house, Ruhua rushed to boil the water, and told Jiang's mother to stop, "Don't be too busy."

"Today, the old lady has allowed the fourth young lady to go back to the house to kowtow to the master, and you will go back with us, at least to meet your parents."

When she entered the painting, she was taken aback for a moment, and then she was overjoyed. She was only five or six years old. Although she was sensible on weekdays, she was still homesick. When she heard the good news today, she suddenly became happy.

Seeing that Ruhua ran away happily, Jiang's mother hurriedly shouted: "Remember to take back Miss Si's meal."

Entering the painting responded loudly, and then disappeared.

Mother Jiang held Xichun in her arms, "Is sister Xi thirsty? Do you want some water?"

Xichun shook her head, and Jiang's mother followed Xichun's back, "Then let's eat more delicious food later, shall we?"

Xichun nodded obediently. If one were to say the greatest satisfaction of coming here, it would be the food.

Her food is the same as Yingchun Tanchun, although it is not as good as Jia Mu Jia Baoyu and others, but it is not far behind, not to mention that Jia's mansion has always been extravagant, an eggplant needs more than a dozen chickens to make, the food is good, It can be seen.

Seeing Xichun's cute face, Jiang's mother also laughed, "Let's sister Xi, we must eat well, grow up well, and be healthy."

Jiang's mother is indeed in a good mood now, she has figured it out now, so what if Mother Jia doesn't let Xichun go to worship her mother, let her go to Ningguo Mansion to kowtow to Jia Jing today, why won't she be allowed to go back to Ningguo Mansion in the future? up?Take your time, there will always be opportunities.

Soon, Ruhua took Chaofan back.

A bowl of rice porridge boiled out of rice oil, and a plate of mixed vegetables, green and green, with a sour taste that shocks people's spirits, a plate of butterfly crisps, and two salted duck eggs cut in half, the salty fragrance hits the face When it came, Xichun's saliva flooded instantly.

Ruhua took out two more bowls of porridge from the food box, but it was obviously not as good as before. Ruhua took out another plate of steamed buns and a small plate of pickles.

Mother Jiang frowned slightly, "You took our piece back?"

Ruhua nodded, "Mother Zhou in the kitchen said that she might as well get it together, lest we make two trips."

Jiang's mother immediately spat, why did she run twice, she was clearly dismissing them casually, these meals were clearly yesterday's.

But the food was brought back, and it was impossible for them to change the meal.

Mother Jiang asked Ru Hua to sit down too, "Okay, let's eat first."

Entering the painting accepted, but didn't sit down, but helped Jiang's mother to feed Xichun.

Xichun twisted left and right, expressing that she wanted to eat by herself.

Mother Jiang coaxed: "Let's feed sister Xi today, okay? If the clothes are dirty, sister Xi won't have new clothes to wear."

What's more, it's rare for Xichun to go back to Ningguo Mansion, so she can't wear old clothes, right?

After hearing this, Xichun obediently let Mother Jiang feed her.

Jiang's mother looked around at the food, and secretly resented, these dishes are not something that a child like Xichun can eat. In the past, the kitchen didn't care about them, but it didn't reach this level.

Mother Jiang picked up the yolk of the salted duck egg and fed it to Xichun with the porridge.

Xichun drank a spoonful, and Jiang's mother fed another spoonful, all of which were salted egg yolks served with porridge.

Xichun: ...

Perhaps seeing Xichun's eager eyes, Ruhua asked in a low voice: "Mom, don't you want to give Miss something else?"

Jiang's mother had a cold face, "What to eat? The mixed vegetables are so strong, the duck eggs are so salty, and the butterfly cakes are not fresh, how can I eat them?!"

Both Xichun and Ruhua were startled, and Jiang's mother realized that her tone was serious, and sighed, "Forget it."

Mother Jiang put down her chopsticks, "Go and get two glasses of water, boil it, be careful not to burn it."

After entering the painting, he quickly got two cups of boiling water, put down the cups and touched his ears with his fingers.

Jiang's mother passed the mixed vegetables in two water glasses before feeding them to Xichun.

After feeding Xichun, Jiang's mother picked her up and put her on the bed, and brought her a stack of handkerchiefs, "Sister Xi, how about playing with flowers?"

These handkerchiefs are all embroidered by Jiang's mother. The patterns are simple, and you can embroider several squares in a day. When you save enough, you will sell them to those shopkeepers. Every now and then, Jiang's mother would order Xichun an egg custard or something to nourish her body.

Xichun nodded, and began to recognize the pattern on the corner of the handkerchief, "Peach Blossom..."

Mother Jiang gave the remaining salted duck egg to the painting, "Okay, you can eat it too."

Entering the painting and handing it back, "Mom eat."

Jiang's mother refused to answer, "You are so young, how can you survive eating pickles and porridge with me every day, and you can eat it if you let you eat it."

It was only after entering the painting that I started eating.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Jiang's mother asked again: "Who brought back today's morning meal for you?"

Ruhua glanced at Jiang's mother cautiously, and whispered, "It's a color screen."

When Ruhua went to pick up food, she happened to see the color screen courting Xiren. She pretended not to see her passing by, but Xiren took advantage of this to leave. The reason was very good. It was getting late, and she wanted to go to the kitchen to stare at Xiren. It's time to cook the morning meal, otherwise the food won't taste like the second master Bao, and the second master Bao won't eat it.

Caiping snatched the food box from Ruhua and said that she was going to the kitchen too.

Their meals were scarce, and they were packed in a few strokes, but Xiren's hadn't been boxed yet, and there were so many meals that Xiren couldn't finish them all by himself.

Many people in the kitchen said that they would help carry it when the time came, and Caiping also offered to help. Xiren looked at the color screen with a smile, pointed at the painting and said, "Then what should she do?"

Caiping gritted her teeth and said with a smile that it's okay, she will help Ruhua carry the food back first, and then there is still time to come back to help Xiren.
