[Red Chamber] Jia Lian has an ancestor system

Xue Pan came back from doing business in other places, and asked Jia Lian to go out for a drink.Originally, he planned to call Baoyu, but he kept going to the school to study, so he had to give up.

Xue Pan said: "Nowadays it is really difficult to do any business. It has been raining heavily in the southwest area. I brought back a batch of fabrics from there, saying that it is cooler to wear in summer. I also collected some spices and other goods along the way."

Jia Lian happened to be busy preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival these two days, so he planned to go to his shop tomorrow to see what new goods were available.

Not long after, Wei Ruolan also joined the table, Jia Lian talked about the marriage between Shi Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan, and said with a smile: "I think it won't be long before we can drink the wedding wine of Brother Wei."

After hearing this, Xue Pan was both happy and depressed.

Jia Lian asked Xue Pan, "Is my aunt feeling better? I heard that she had chest tightness a while ago."

Xue Pan said melancholy: "After all, it's all a heart disease, and it's all because of the big grandmother at home."

Feng Ziying asked a little puzzled: "Didn't you say that your grandma was also knowledgeable? How did it become strange?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Xue Pan took a sip of wine, "I was mistaken, I heard that she could read and write, and could recite poems and poems, so I took it for granted that she would be like the one in Jia's garden. She's like a girl, but she doesn't want to..."

Xue Pan sighed heavily: "Oh, don't mention it!"

Feng Ziying raised her glass and said, "Come on, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's important to drink together."

On April 26, Baoyu's birthday, Sister Feng set up a few tables of wine at the old lady's place. Jia Baoyu also took a break from school, so she didn't have to go to the school, so she took a good rest.

Early in the morning, Jia Baoyu kowtowed to Mrs. Wang and the old lady, and Xue Baochai came to celebrate his birthday.

She said: "This is the Shu brocade that my brother brought over from the southwest a few days ago. I think the material is not bad, the silk is smooth and light, and it is best worn in summer. Congratulations to Brother Bao."

Jia Mu said: "It's hard for you to think about it. You haven't come to the garden for a few days, but the family is too busy?"

Baochai replied obediently: "I have to follow some business, and I can't leave for a while."

Mrs. Wang asked: "Is your mother's health better?"

"It's much better. I was supposed to come here today, but there are too many goods to count, so I didn't come here."

Jia's mother said: "Go back and tell your mother that if you are not satisfied, come and sit often, and the most important thing is to express yourself."

Baochai: "Thank you, old lady, for your concern."

Baochai came to the table and greeted the other sisters together. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Xiangyun said: "Sister Bao, I haven't seen you for almost half a year."

Baochai pinched Xiangyun's face with a smile: "I've heard good things about you, so I'm waiting to drink your wedding wine."

Everyone laughed and talked, and Baochai ordered Yinger to put down a big box, opened it, and found some sachets and so on. Baochai said: "The few flavors of medicine in it are all newly received by my brother this time. I bought a new prescription and prepared a few sachets. Summer is here, and there are a lot of mosquitoes. I tried hanging it on the bedside to repel mosquitoes and insects. It couldn’t be better.”

After all, one person sent one.

Daiyu took the sachet and said, "Thank you, Sister Bao, for your hard work. I wanted Zicuckoo to make a few more. This time there are ready-made ones. You have to tell us the recipe."

Baochai promised, "I'll write to you later."

Baoyu also sat down and gathered with all the sisters.

After lunch, Baochai was about to say goodbye.

Mother Jia asked in surprise, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you staying for two days?"

Baochai smiled and said: "The goods brought back by my brother need to be counted quickly. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and we have to catch up with this season..."

Baochai said goodbye to all the sisters one by one, and then went.

Seeing Baochai leave, Jia's mother couldn't help but sighed: "What a sensible and good girl. My brother was ignorant before, but now my brother understands a little bit, and he married a careless one. Fortunately, my aunt has her. , otherwise it would be quite disturbing."

He looked at Mrs. Wang again: "Ma'am, if you are free, you should also go and see your aunt."

Mrs. Wang replied: "I'm planning to go there in two days."

After lunch, Baoyu sent all the sisters back to the garden, passed by Yihong Courtyard, saw the gate was closed, and remembered that year's birthday party was secretly held in the house, and now that Yingchun's sister is married, Qingwen, Xiangling, and Siqi have already left. Fangguan and Si'er were kicked out... Even Sister Bao came and went in a hurry.

I couldn't help but feel sad, and saw that sister Lin was getting thinner and thinner, and knew that she was also suffering during this time.

But why isn't he suffering?During the day, he studied those imperial examination articles in the academy every day, but he really couldn't read them, but he was afraid of his father's power, so he had to sit there and beat the clock as a monk in Cao Yingxin in Handi for a day.

Baoyu sighed and looked at Sister Lin, who happened to be looking at him too.

it is more than words.

Lin Daiyu saw that he had only been to the school for only three months, and she was much duller, so she didn't know the torture. Although she had thousands of words, she didn't know how to say them.

Recently, she has more and more a strong premonition, especially after seeing that "Crimson Pearl Grass", she feels as if her fate has come to an end, and she is afraid that she will fully understand it soon...

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, Xiangyun joked, "Brother Love, do you still want to live in Yihong Courtyard and be your wealthy idler, Mr. Yihong?"

Jia Baoyu glanced at the plaque on the door, then at the sisters around him, and said calmly: "Naturally, I thought about it day and night, but in the end I was helpless."

Xiang Yun said with a smile: "The idiot is going to talk nonsense again, let's go quickly."

Just as they were discussing where to sit, Jia Baoyu remembered that Miaoyu sent a post on his birthday that year, so he suggested: "Maybe I haven't been to Quicui Nunnery for a long time, how about we talk to Miaoyu?"

It was also a good place, and a group of people knocked on the door of Quicui Temple.

When Jia Baoyu was celebrating his birthday in a lively manner, and everyone was sipping tea and chatting happily in Changcui Nunnery, Jia Lian sent the Dragon Boat Festival gifts to Sun's residence.

The house of the Sun Mansion is not big, although only Sun Shaozu is in Beijing, but there are quite a lot of maids and servants.

When Yingchun got married, Siqi had already been expelled from the garden and died, so he took four servant girls, Xiuju and Lianhuaer, there.Although Xiuju has some ideas, but she is under the fence, the master is so cowardly, a maid, no matter how much she has ideas, what can she accomplish?

Hearing that Jia Lian had come to the mansion, Yingchun was overjoyed. Accompanied by Xiuju and others, she came to the hall and saw her second elder brother.

Also in the hall were several women and maids of the Sun family. Although Sun Shaozu was not in the mansion, those members of the Sun family in the hall were watching closely.

"It's a coincidence that the second master came. Today our master is out and couldn't receive him. Please don't blame him." A woman who looked a little bit of status said.

Jia Lian said politely: "It's okay, it's the same with Yingchun sister."

Yingchun was already frightened by Sun Shaozu's beating. During the Lantern Festival, Baoyu came to visit her. Because she said a few more words, after Baoyu left, she was beaten and scolded even worse. This time she had to learn to be good.

She just bowed down and said blessings, and asked: "Second brother is well! Are the old lady, elder master, eldest wife, second master, second wife, etc. in the house all right?"

When Xiuju supported Yingchun to get up, she purposely rolled up Yingchun's sleeves, and several bruises, large and small, were clearly visible on her snow-white wrist.

Jia Lian asked with concern: "What happened to your hand? Why are there so many injuries?"

Just now the old lady hurried over to smooth things over and said, "A few days ago, I accidentally fell in the garden and scratched myself." Then she pushed Yingchun with her elbow.

Yingchun didn't dare to tell the truth, so she just responded in a low voice: "Yes, it's okay, it's just a skin trauma."

Seeing that Yingchun hesitated to speak, Jia Lian's eyes showed a little fear of the people around him, so he understood that Yingchun was still living in fear in Sun's residence.

Jia Lian saw it in her eyes and sighed in her heart. This younger sister has always been a cowardly character, not as straightforward as the third younger sister. She will argue and argue about everything...

Originally, I wanted to talk to Yingchun in private, but Jia Lian was not at ease when the maids kept staring at her, so she sat down for a while and confessed: "I have something to do outside, so I have to say goodbye first. You are here Take good care of yourself, and go back to the mansion for a few days when you have time, or I will ask Baoyu to come and pick you up in a few days."

Yingchun replied: "Thank you, Second Brother, for your hard work. I will take care of myself. Say hello to the masters, wives, and sisters for me."

Jia Lian left Sun's house as soon as he spoke, and when Xiuju helped Yingchun back to the mansion, the old woman just gouged out Xiuju and accused: "Why are you so careless? It's not the first day you are serving grandma. Why are your sleeves still there?" Was you flipped up?"

A sharp-mouthed maid next to her said, "I think she did it on purpose."

Xiuju was furious: "So what if I did it on purpose, our girl was beaten up like this, why don't people look at her when her mother's family comes?"

The woman was so angry that she wanted to slap Xiuju's mouth, but she knew that Xiuju had a plan, so she turned her head and scolded Yingchun: "You are her master after all, how do you teach her on weekdays? How can you be so cowardly?" Like a girl from a rich family? It is said that you are also a serious master, in my opinion, don't let her kick the master one day and sit in your seat..."

Yingchun also didn't want to quarrel with the maidservant, so she just said: "Mother Zhang, don't talk anymore, I didn't tell the truth anyway, so I kept everyone's face."

It turned out that this imposing woman was Sun Shaozu's wet nurse, and everyone called her Mama Zhang.

Zhang's mother raised Sun Shaozu by feeding him, and the master and wife are not in Beijing, so she has to take care of everything big and small.She treats Yingchun badly, one is because Jia She borrowed 5000 taels of silver from Sun Shaozu and sent a daughter to pay off the debt, and she also despises Yingchun along the way;Sun Shaozu was somewhat influenced by her, and the more he looked at Yingchun, the more he disliked her.

Xiuju snorted at Zhang's mother, and helped Yingchun into the yard.

But after Sun Shaozu returned to the mansion, he heard that Jia Lian had come, and that Jia Lian had seen the wound on Yingchun's hand. Zhang's mother winked and added embellishments, for fear that Jia Lian's knowledge would be detrimental to the Sun family.

But Sun Shaozu didn't care about it at all, and even said: "That's good, you don't have to pretend so much. It's better to ask for money when we meet later."
