This morning, the sky is bright and clear.

Last night Jiamu left Nianchun and Lin Daiyu to rest in the upper room, and they both woke up at dawn.Self-made glass, soaked in wine, snow geese and others came in to serve and wash.While she was doing her makeup, it happened that Shi Xiangyun also had some movement. Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "My son wakes up earlier than at home."

Nianchun put ointment on her face, and when she heard Lin Daiyu's words, she also smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary day. Since it's Lantern Festival today, we should get up earlier."

The two packed up, changed their clothes, and took each other to Jiamu's house to say hello.

Because Jia Mu is getting old, her sleep is light and she wakes up early.Seeing the two of them coming in holding hands, he waved to them happily, "Get on the kang quickly, don't freeze you."

Lin Daiyu and Nianchun agreed with a smile, and sat down on the kang, while Jia's mother sent Yuanyang to cook dinner again.Turning his head to look at Nian Chun, who was sitting obediently beside him, he stretched out his hand and pinched her warm little face, "Don't worry, I sent four or five people to ask you this morning, and I told you to stay Go back after the Lantern Festival, but you are reluctant."

Nianchun smiled and said: "It is the old lady who loves me so that I can stay here for a day. The master also loves me for being outside, for fear that I will catch the cold. Don't blame the old lady, he will cry when he hears it later. "

The little girl's voice was soft and waxy, and the smile on her face was well-behaved and cute. After such a speech, how could Mother Jia say anything else.He just stretched out his hand to help Nianchun tuck the blanket on his lap, and said angrily, "Sit down, people will come to say hello in a while, carefully, it really caught the wind."

Nianchun naturally complied obediently.

Before the mandarin duck came back, Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu came in with a smile, and the two greeted Jia's mother. Seeing Nianchun and Lin Daiyu sitting on the kang, Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "We are no worse than Sister Lin. My dear, the old lady is taking care of my son so carefully."

Several people laughed when they said it, and Jia Mu ordered her to come up and sit down too.Seeing Jia Baoyu pick up a chair and sit down, he wondered, "Why are you sitting there?"

Shi Xiangyun also tilted his head and laughed at him, "Brother Ai, please come up and sit with us."

But Jia Baoyu shook his head, and said with a smile, "It's all in the past, but now Seventh Sister is grown up, so it's not good to do this anymore." He glanced at Nianchun who was lowering her head to peel melon seeds, and saw that she was wearing a dress today. The double-breasted jacket with the pattern of a vase, and the mink fur around the neckline make the little girl's snow-white face cute and cute, probably when I heard myself mention her, when I looked up at this moment, there seemed to be waves in her beautiful eyes, soft Soft and full of smiles.

Mother Jia couldn't help sighing, saying that Jia Baoyu was really sensible at this time.

They were talking and joking for a few days, when Yuanyang came back with four or five maidservants, all of whom were holding bright red lacquer boxes in their hands, and the table was filled with all kinds of side dishes.Nianchun's nose moved slightly, and she looked at Yuanyang with a smile.Yuanyang naturally knew what she wanted to eat, so he hurriedly put a bowl of hot porridge on the table in front of her.Jia Mu smiled and said: "It can be seen that even this girl is at your command now. I haven't had enough to eat yet, so I will serve you, my little ancestor first."

Nianchun smiled shyly, "The old lady eats too."

The grandparents and grandchildren ate in the house, and it was usually the time for Mrs. Wang to come to the room to say hello.

Mrs. Wang was still dressed in homely clothes, with Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai at her side, and Tanchun and the girls behind her.Seeing this situation, Mother Jia's eyes turned cold, but she still smiled and said, "Auntie, why is my son here?"

Aunt Xue greeted Mother Jia, and when she heard her question, she also smiled and said: "It just so happens that today is a good day, so I will inevitably disturb the old lady. It is also my good fortune that the old lady doesn't dislike my clumsiness."

Mother Jia hurriedly said, "What are you talking about?", and let Aunt Xue sit down.Seeing that the girls were all dressed up brightly, Xue Baochai was the only one who was dressed in half-worn homely clothes. He smiled and said to Aunt Xue: "The children in our family don't care about anything. It's just the New Year's Eve." I frantically dug out how many new clothes to wear. Yesterday was a crepe skirt, but today it’s a tulle one. I saw that the third and fourth girls made a few good clothes a few days ago. Why are you wearing something different now?"

Tan Chun and Mu Chun looked at each other, and said with a smile: "The old lady is busy with people, I'm afraid I forgot. During the new year, the old lady asked the wife to make some more clothes for us to wear, and said yes If you want to take it out to meet guests, you can’t be rude.”

Mother Jia said "hmm", smiled and stroked her palms, "There is some reason for this, and there are many relatives who visit during the first month. Yesterday, I received a post from the princess of Nan'an County, saying that she wanted to invite some of our family members to come." A girl is going to be a guest. Who would have thought that her family would enter the palace again today, so it was postponed for two days. Since you have good clothes to wear, you don’t have to change them every day, how many good clothes can you wear?”

As he said, he looked at Mrs. Wang again, "You too, since you made new clothes for them, why didn't you think that there was a girl in your sister's family. I saw that Miss Xue was born so beautifully, but Dressing a little too plainly, you are an aunt after all, and you are in charge of the house, can't you afford the money to make clothes for your relatives and children?"

Mrs. Wang blushed as she said this, she stood up quickly and said: "Where is it like this, the old lady taught me that I forgot in a hurry. When I go back, I will ask someone to make two new clothes for Bao Yatou to wear."

Aunt Xue's expression was not very good when she heard Jia Mu's words.I also saw Lin Daiyu and Nianchun sitting around Jiamu in brocade clothes, even Shi Xiangyun was dressed very brightly.Looking back at Baochai next to him, he felt that the half-worn honey-colored jacket on her was really eye-catching.

But now the son sees Jia Mu blindly scolding Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue is not easy to sit on the sidelines.We had no choice but to put on a smile, turned to Mother Jia and said, "We appreciate the kindness of the old lady. It's just that Bao girl is different from other girls. She doesn't like those flowers and pinks the most, and she doesn't like wearing clothes that are too conspicuous. We There are so many good clothes in the house, but they are moldy, but no one is willing to wear them. Her temperament also gives me a headache. My sister also told me this in the next year. She wants to make some fresh clothes for Bao girl to wear, but I declined. Her housekeeper is very busy, and she forgot about this problem for a while, so don't wrong her, the old lady, it makes me feel very sorry."

What Aunt Xue said was reasonable, but Mother Jia didn't bother too much.Just looking at Xue Baochai, he smiled lovingly and said, "Your family is from a family, why bother to imitate those small families outside and act frugal and simple. A family like ours should have some style and style." Shelf, it’s not for looking good, it’s just for not losing your status.”

Xue Baochai smiled and nodded, "The old lady is right, I have been taught." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun who were sitting next to Jia Mu, and clenched their hands curled up in their sleeves.

Mother Jia gave Mrs. Wang an upset early in the morning, and she felt very comfortable.Thinking that today is the Lantern Festival, I asked about the affairs in the mansion again.Thinking that Yuan Chun has always been the most lively place, he asked Mrs. Wang if she would invite her over.

Only then did Mrs. Wang laugh, "The old lady has to worry about this, she has already asked someone to invite her. It's just that she couldn't come. Don't blame the old lady."

Grandmother Jia frowned slightly. Yuan Chun had always loved and respected Grandmother, but she would never refuse any posts that Grandmother Jia made.What's more, the sisters in the mansion are gathered together again today, there is no reason not to come back.Jia's mother suspected that Yuan Chun was being bullied for a while, so she hurriedly asked why.

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It should be the old lady's blessing to favor Yuan girl. This morning I invited someone from Sheng's family to pick up Yuan girl. Who would have thought that just entering the second door, there will be a woman and a maid coming out of it." The good news is that the doctor came to check the pulse, and Yuan girl is pregnant."

Jia Mu hurriedly said "Amitabha", and said with a smile: "I said she must be blessed, and she is really good now."

Mrs. Wang also nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "That's right. Yuan girl accepted the post yesterday, and she is the head of the house. She was so busy that she was so tired and dizzy that my uncle was so frightened. They went all over the street to find a doctor. But she is a stupid girl, and she also told the old lady who came to Sheng's house to tell the old lady, madam, not to disappoint her. Do you think she is a stupid girl?"

Mother Jia said with a stern face: "You are not allowed to say that about my precious granddaughter. She is a lucky person. I have been married for more than two years, and my uncle has never mentioned concubines. Yuan girl said one thing in the house again, my uncle. Respect her again. Now my son is pregnant again, and the good days are yet to come. You mother, go to see her when you are free on weekdays. She is pregnant for the first time, and there is no mother-in-law in the house to take care of you. If not, who else will help her sincerely?"

Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly.

It so happened that Wang Xifeng came into the room at this time, heard Jia's mother's words, and saw Mrs. Wang's expression of love.I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, my own daughter is a daughter, and the daughters of others will be abused arbitrarily?Considering that Yuan Chun hadn't been pregnant for more than two years, and she didn't see her concubine for her husband, and now her son is pregnant, I'm afraid I have to guard against those maids who have improper thoughts.

Mother Jia also saw Wang Xifeng, and hurriedly beckoned her to come over. She reached out and touched Wang Xifeng's cheek, which was slightly cold, and couldn't help scolding: "You child, it's so cold outside, why don't you ask them to put on your clothes for you?" Zhaojun put on a squirrel coat, that coat has a hood, which is the best way to keep warm. Look at you, your little face is cold from the cold, come up and sit down."

Saying that, regardless of Wang Xifeng's refusal, he forcefully pulled her to sit down.

The house was full of women and girls talking and laughing together. After dinner was set up at noon, someone came outside and said, "The third grandma of the Zhen family is here, please greet the old lady."

Mrs. Wang was slightly surprised, "Her family used to send their mother-in-law here during the New Year's Eve, why did she come by herself today?"

But Jia Mu said with a smile, "please come in." Then she asked Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu to sit on the kang, and sat upright by herself.The scarlet felt curtain was lifted up by the maid, and the visitor was dressed in a sable Zhaojun suit, a peach red flowered jacket, a squirrel cape carved in stone and blue silk, and a big red crinkle silver mouse leather skirt, gorgeous and radiant.She is really a beauty, not much better than Wang Xifeng.

When Jia Mu saw that she was born like this, she felt gratified in her heart, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for many years, but you have become more and more picky. How is your wife? How is the old lady?"

Zhen Feng smiled and said: "Everything is fine, it's just that I can't leave during the first month, and I'm the only one who has nothing to do to disturb the old lady here."

Jia Mu ordered her to sit down.Zhen Feng replied with a smile, and asked Mrs. Wang to be well. Seeing Aunt Xue sitting beside Mrs. Wang, she also said hello with a smile.Everyone was wondering, and then Mother Jia explained the origin of Zhen Feng's family to everyone.

It turns out that this person is Feng Shi, the wife of the third son of Zhen's family in the south of the Yangtze River. She is the best housekeeper, articulate and good at calculating.The third master of the Zhen family is a sick jar, there are only two concubine brothers on it, neither of which is in favor of the old lady Zhen.The second room was separated from the mansion early, and the entire Zhen Mansion was managed by Zhen Feng's family, which is even more beautiful than Wang Xifeng's back then.

"If you ask me, the ten housekeeper's wives in our house combined are not better than one of you."

Zhen Feng said with a smile: "The old lady praised me too much, how could she praise me for being so capable?"

She had a smile on her pink face, the corners of her mouth were raised lightly, and her eyebrows were painted like ink, and her lips were like spots of crimson.Jia Baoyu unconsciously sighed in his heart: Such a beautiful woman, it's a pity that she was born in our family!

Zhen Feng was looking up at Mother Jia, she might as well glance over the top of the kang, feeling a little stunned.

"This one is..." She seemed to have something to say, but at this moment she suppressed herself and said with a smile: "The old lady is very lucky, she has a lot of children and grandchildren."

He looked at Jia Baoyu who was sitting opposite, and felt even more surprised, "This young man looks just like my little uncle, it's really strange."

Jia's mother also became interested, and they talked about Zhen Baoyu and Jia Baoyu's interesting stories back and forth. There were similarities and coincidences, which made it even more wonderful.Even Jia Baoyu, who was listening on the sidelines, was full of amazement: Sure enough, there are such similar people in this world. If there is a chance, I will definitely meet them.

Zhen Feng looked at the top of the kang again, pointed at Nian Chun and said with a smile: "This is the old lady's granddaughter? I am very pleasing to see, she is really like a snow ball, so cute."

Nianchun looked up at her, and saw her smiling, with a proud look on her face.Just looking closely, there is a hint of darkness in his eyes.Nian Chun frowned slightly, turned her face to the side, and didn't answer.

She was rude like this, which had never happened before, and Mother Jia was also slightly stunned.

Lin Daiyu knew that with Nian Chunsu's upbringing, she would not be so rude, but there are so many people in the room right now, it's hard to ask too many questions.Just holding Nianchun's hand, she smiled slightly at Mother Jia: "Grandmother, I'm afraid I'm a little sulky after sitting for a long time, so I'll take Seventh Sister out for a walk first."

Mother Jia nodded, seeing that they were going out, and seeing Zhen Feng's eyes sweeping over Tanchun and the others from time to time, she knew that she must have something to say.He only smiled at Wang Xifeng: "You have been here for half a day, and you are tired after thinking about it. Let's go have fun separately."

Wang Xifeng understood, stood up, and went out with Shi Xiangyun, Tanchun and others.Aunt Xue was also used to watching words and expressions, so she also pulled Xue Baochai, and the mother and daughter got up and said goodbye to Jia Mu.

When there were only Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and Zhen Feng Shi in the room, Zhen Feng Shi stretched his brows and said with a smile: "Old lady, Wanfu, there is something here. Our old lady wants me to Come and ask the old lady for a favor."

……

Going around the long corridor, there is a small pavilion near the water, Lin Daiyu took Nianchun and walked two steps towards the pavilion, then stopped and looked back at her, and asked softly: "Why is this so?"

Nianchun lowered her head and muttered in a low voice: "She has bad intentions, I don't like her."

What the little girl said was still a bit childish, but also very stubborn.Lin Daiyu chuckled, pinched the little girl's warm face, and said with a smile: "It's not a relative who comes and goes often at home, so naturally there is no need to have any dealings in the future. It's just that the appearance should be done well. This time my son If you act like this in front of so many people, you will be ruined later."

Nianchun pouted, "I'm still hungry." Because she was displeased with the calculation and scheming in Zhen Feng's eyes, she didn't even eat the cake brought by the mandarin duck, and her stomach was already rumbling with hunger.

Lin Daiyu smiled, seeing that Zhuanjiu and Xueyan were not there, she had to take Nianchun to sit in a shelter from the wind, and said: "Sit obediently, I'll get you something to eat."

Nianchun cheered, and immediately sat down obediently, showing that she was very obedient.

The little girl sat obediently behind the rockery sheltered from the wind, wearing a double-breasted jacket with a vase pattern of flowers and flowers lining her skin like snow, her eyebrows as picturesque.Tu Xi turned over the wall, and saw the little girl who was thinking day and night leaning against the rockery and dozing off little by little.

This is the little girl he misses day and night!Really cute.
