[Red Mansion] The adopted son of the Lin family

Because Mrs. Zhen came from afar, Jiamu and Mrs. Wang had already planned to keep them to stay, so they would naturally have dinner together in the evening.Whoever wants to come back from the palace within half a day, hears Yu Chuan'er from Mrs. Wang's yard come over and say: "Madam kept Aunt Xue for a few days, and she will take a rest today."

When Jia Mu heard this, she didn't say anything for a long time, causing Yu Chuan'er to kneel down until her legs became numb. It was Yuanyang who carefully reminded her, and Jia Mu waved her hand expressionlessly.

"What a clever mouth. Hmph—"

The dinner party was held in the main hall. In the past, Yingchun was never taken back to the main room. When the brothers and sisters of the Lin family and the Xue family were all in the mansion, all the female family members of the Jia mansion also ate here.But later, the Lin family moved out, and the Xue family and the Jia family had a rift because of the rivalry in the palace. In addition, the eldest house and the second house were most at odds. , the chances of gathering in the main hall for dinner are greatly reduced.

When Mrs. Wang arrived with Aunt Xue, Mrs. Zhen was already sitting beside Jia Mu. Jia Mu smiled and held Mrs. Zhen's hand. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and they were talking affectionately.Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue quickly walked a few steps to greet the old lady, and Aunt Xue smiled and said: "The old lady is blessed, I am here to greet you, I only hope that I will also be blessed, old lady, please don't laugh at me." .”

Everyone smiled, and Miss Zhen San, who was sitting under Jia Mu, also pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Taking advantage of Mrs. Xue's words, we should get some."

Mother Jia caressed her temples affectionately, and said to Mrs. Zhen: "I see that your third girl is very lucky."

Madam Zhen covered her lips and said with a smile: "Old Madam, don't praise her badly, this little girl has a lot of eyes, and she will come to the old Madam again, I'm afraid she will disturb the peace of the old Madam."

The corners of Miss Zhen San's lips were raised, her red phoenix eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, her hair was a little emerald green, and the tassels adorned with rubies hung just between her brows, making her brows and eyes as picturesque and her skin as white as snow.

Several people talked a few more words, and saw Wang Xifeng coming over with a cup, Mrs. Xing was just sitting under Jia Mu, with a faint smile on her face, she didn't seem to get close to Jia Mu at all. .Mrs. Wang gave her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a sideways look, and quickly turned her head away.Seeing this, Aunt Xue's heart moved slightly, but she just smiled at Wang Xifeng: "Someday I don't see Miss Feng serving in front of the old lady, it seems that she has relieved a lot."

Today, Wang Xifeng wore a gown with narrow-sleeved rain silk brocade cross-neck collar and a golden dark pattern lotus leaf skirt with pinched teeth and borders wrapped around branches in the pattern of vases.It is very different from the resplendent and dazzling look of the past.But there is also an unusual charm and variety.Hearing what Aunt Xue said, she bowed to Aunt Xue with a smile, "I'm afraid that Auntie won't see me for a day, so I feel that I am very different from before. Now I don't care about home or I only teach Brother Xun in the house all day long, how can I lose weight. It’s just that my aunt watched me put on weight, and she was afraid that I would be sad, so she insisted on telling me what I said to lose weight to laugh at me.”

What he said made Jiamu and others laugh, and Jiamu rubbed her stomach with laughter, and only smiled at the mandarin duck who was serving behind her: "You don't have to go and tear her mouth for me, what you say is the most embarrassing." Oops, my stomach hurts from laughing so hard, hurry up and hit your second grandma Lian a few times to vent my anger."

Yuanyang responded with a smile, approached Wang Xifeng as if to hit her lightly, Wang Xifeng did not hide, everyone laughed enough and sat down one by one.Mrs. Zhen and Miss Zhen San came to the house from afar, and Tanchun couldn't help but keep sneaking eyes on them.At the banquet, I saw that Miss Zhen San was smiling brightly, and with a few words, Jia Mu's smile was so big that she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.Seeing Mrs. Wang's efforts to praise Miss Zhensan, she felt even more self-pity for her life experience, and the taste of delicacies was tasteless.

"The jade bracelet on sister's hand is really beautiful!"

Tanchun was in a trance here, unexpectedly being pulled by Xichun, looked up and saw Miss Zhensan smiling and looking at the jade bracelet on her wrist, subconsciously wanted to pull down the sleeve to cover the jade bracelet.But seeing Mrs. Wang's eyes sweeping over lightly, she froze immediately.

Mrs. Wang's eyes swept over, and she saw that Tanchun was wearing a jade bracelet, full of water, the jade was clear and moist, and the emerald green color was excellent even for laymen. His face turned cold.She naturally knew that this jade bracelet belonged to Aunt Zhao. She used to keep it close to her when she was a maid in front of her. It was her mother's relic before her death.Because he felt unlucky, he gave up his mind.

Seeing this jadeite on Tanchun's wrist, he felt very uncomfortable.Hearing Ms. Zhen San's praise, Mrs. Wang suppressed the anger on her face, and just smiled and said: "What is this worth? It was just worn by children. If you like it, just take it."

One sentence made Tanchun's face change drastically, but he dared not argue, just lowered his head and remained silent.

Miss Zhen San rolled her eyes slightly, then smiled like a flower and said, "How embarrassing this is, it was something that my sister loves, I'm afraid it was given to my sister by your wife, and my sister kept it like a treasure, so I would not give it to others so easily. Woolen cloth."

In a word, Mrs. Wang became even more annoyed when she said it.

If this jade bracelet was rewarded by myself, it would be fine for Tanchun to wear it, but it was Aunt Zhao.Thinking of how well-behaved and obedient Tanchun was in front of him in the past, he still regarded her as a good one, and left most of the housekeeper's errands to her.When I saw her housekeeper again, she was honest with Aunt Zhao, and I was very satisfied in my heart.Originally, he thought that after a while, he would record Tanchun under his own name, and it would be two years before Tanchun left and right. If he married well, it would also be a help to him.Who would have thought that this girl was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, although she flattered her in front of her, she secretly got close to that bitch, Aunt Zhao!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang was very angry, but she said with a smile on her face: "Your sister is the most generous, and this bracelet is no matter how good it is, but it is a dead thing. The relationship between your sisters is infinitely higher than this bracelet. Tan girl, since your sister likes it, you can take it off and give it to her."

Hearing this, Tanchun looked up at Mrs. Wang with a pale face. Knowing Mrs. Wang's personality, she soon found a stern look in Mrs. Wang's eyes. She didn't dare to refute, and stretched out her hand to hold the jadeite bracelet on her wrist. , became ruthless, removed it from her wrist at once, and said with a smile to Ms. Zhensan: "Is it mine? My sister came to the house and I didn't have anything good to give you. This jade bracelet... this jade bracelet is a good one." Yes, my sister doesn't mind it, just accept it."

As Tanchun spoke, he vigorously blinked away the tears from his eyes.Aunt Zhao personally put this bracelet on for her, but right now she just gave it away just to please the guest lady.Tanchun felt infinitely sad, but he didn't dare to show the slightest bit on his face, he just tried to smile, his flowery face had long since lost color.

Miss Zhen San didn't seem to be aware of it, she smiled and gave in for a while, and finally accepted the jade bracelet amidst the laughter of Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu.Turning around, she asked the little maid behind her to bring a sandalwood makeup box, and as soon as she opened it, she saw the golden light in it.When everyone looked closely, they saw that there was an exquisite hairpin lying in the box, with red coral wishful double knots inlaid on it, and a round pearl on the end of the hairpin. noble.

Miss Zhen San smiled and said: "I accepted my sister's jade bracelet, so there is no reason not to return the gift. This hairpin is just a small thought, sister should not dislike it." After finishing speaking, she picked it up from the box He took out the golden hairpin and inserted it between the temples for Tanchun with his own hands.After looking around for a while, he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Sister is such a smart and handsome person, this hairpin is just right, it looks like it was tailor-made for my sister."

Everyone complimented her a few times, Madam Xing felt bored, she said she had a headache and wanted to leave after two sips of wine.Mother Jia didn't like Mrs. Xing at first, but now she heard her say that, and there were outsiders, she felt a little unhappy.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang just smiled and said: "The eldest lady has always been weak. After a couple of sips of wine, she will feel a little bit better. It's just that today is a rare good day for a family reunion. Wouldn't it spoil everyone's happiness?"

Mrs. Xing glanced at her coldly, seeing her face was full of color, she just sneered and said: "Yingchun has been unwell for the past few days, I am a mother, I am really worried about her. I saw her all night yesterday, today I only came out after watching her get better, and now I have a bad headache after drinking. The old lady is also very merciful, she must be considerate of my motherly kindness, and allowed me to go back. Does the second wife have anything else to say?"

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that Mrs. Xing hadn't seen her for a few days, but today she became so hardened that she couldn't speak a word because of being stalked.

On the other hand, Aunt Xue smoothed things over, she only took Wang Xifeng's hand and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is thinking about the second girl, this is because of their deep love between mother and daughter. It's just that there is a distinguished guest here today, you don't want it, Feng girl." Let's go early, not to mention that it's rare for me to come here, if you leave, what's the fun in it!"

When Jia Mu heard this, her expression changed a lot.He really didn't want to see Mrs. Xing in front of him, so he waved his hand and said, "You really don't feel well, and take good care of yourself."

Mrs. Xing left her seat, blessed Mother Jia, nodded to Mrs. Zhen, and left with the support of the little girl.

After a few more sips of wine, suddenly there was a noise outside, and Mother Jia sent a girl to ask why.Soon someone came back and said: "Master was eating wine with the brother of the Zhen family in the outer hall. He was surprised to see that the brother of the Zhen family was born like a brother with the second master Bao. He brought someone to the old lady. Please be safe here."

When Jia Mu heard it, she was also surprised and said, "Sure enough, there is such a strange thing?" Then she went to see Mrs. Zhen.

Mrs. Zhen was also surprised, and said: "The one in my family was originally a demon king, I'm afraid it's very different from the elder brother taught by the old matriarch's family. Perhaps the two elder brothers seem to be brothers when they see that their clothes are similar for a while. Usually there are."

Mother Jia nodded. Although she felt that Madam Zhen's explanation was barely acceptable, she was also a little curious.So he ordered Yuanyang to send some maids to move the screen, and let San Miss Zhen sit behind the screen with Tanchun and Xichun. Wang Xifeng, Xia Jingui and Shi Xiangyun only stood behind.

When everyone sat down, they saw the felt curtain lifted, and two handsome teenagers with jade-like faces and red lips and white teeth walked side by side. At first glance, they really looked like they came out of the same mother's womb. exactly the same.
