Honglou Xing
Chapter 41
"Don't delay, call Lan Geer first." Xing said again, and immediately ordered Li Wan to send Jia Lan away.
Seeing that Baoyu didn't go with him, Jia Lan was relieved.Before he left, he bowed deeply to Mrs. Xing to express his thanks, and his words were sweet but not greasy. "Grandmother is happy and in good health. After my little uncle was born, please ask my grandma to talk to him about me. Next time I come back, why don't I take him to pay my respects to my grandma."
After giving birth, I often talk about it, hold hands and say hello... Jia Lan's words are a disguised expression: he hopes that Xing's mother and child will be safe and that the child will grow up healthily.
Mrs. Xing was tired of listening to blunt congratulatory speeches, but Jia Lan spoke in a calm and simple way, which was really pleasing.Xing smiled and liked the child more and more.Although she has knowledge in her belly, she still maintains a modest and not impetuous and not showing off character, which is really rare.
Xing winked at Jiaohong, and Jiaohong immediately offered Jia Lan a package of things.
"These are some rare books from the collection. They were given by friends of your great-grandfather. Let me take a look. They will be of the greatest use to you, so keep them."
Jia Lan guessed the value of these orphan copies and hesitated to accept them.
Jia She knew that Qingshan Academy was full of people who were eager to learn, but they were all from wealthy families, and none of them had any treasures in stock for exchanging and making friends.If Jia Lan has nothing, just reaching out and not contributing, it will not be very easy to make friends.Xing's thinking is really thoughtful, much more delicate than his.Jia She looked at Mrs. Xing approvingly, and said to Jia Lan with a smile, "Your great grandma has a heart, so I will keep it. There is absolutely no reason for scholars to reject good books."
Jia Lan naturally wanted these things, and after getting Li Wan's consent, Fang dared to happily thank Xing and Jia Amnesty.Afterwards, he bowed again to Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng and others before turning around and leaving.
Mrs. Wang coughed twice, her cold gaze deliberately swept over Li Wan, causing Li Wan to lower her head even more.
Mrs. Xing smiled faintly, stretched out her hand to touch her belly, and said to Jia Mu: "Speaking of which, my life is coming soon, and my siblings are not in good health. The child Yingchun has to prepare for marriage, and I don't have enough energy. I think I have to trouble her to help the girls." After Xing finished speaking, she turned her head and smiled at Li Wan.
Mrs. Wang clenched her fists and looked at Li Wan even colder.
Li Wan was so flattered that he lowered his head even more and dared not lift it up.
Mother Jia smiled and nodded, but she didn't have too many opinions.
"I would also like to trouble you to move to the small courtyard next to me to stay for a while, so that it will be more convenient to answer. Otherwise, your housekeeper will have something to do in the future, and you will have to take a sedan chair across the entire Rongfu, and you will be gone in a long time." Xing Xing Said to Li Wan.
Li Wan is like a savior, just now she was afraid that Mrs. Wang would make things difficult for her and reprimand her in the next few days.It turned out that the eldest lady came to rescue her, thank God!
Li Wan didn't dare to agree without authorization, so he turned his head to look at Mrs. Wang symbolically, asking her what she meant.
Mrs. Wang had no reason to refuse, no matter how unwilling she was, she could only secretly grit her teeth angrily in the dark, and finally nodded in response.
The matter was almost over, so Xing took Li Wan back to settle down.Jia Amnesty also went out to meet friends and socialize.
No one cared about Baoyu anymore, so Baoyu just stayed with Jiamu and played with no interest.But he fiddled with it for a while, but his heart was still dull and inexplicably empty.Now he clearly stayed at home as he wished, but why couldn't he be happy?
Jia Mu stayed with Baoyu for a while, and was tired, so she went to rest first.Baoyu was bored, so he went to play with Tanchun and Xichun.The two sisters, Tanchun and Xichun, were quietly playing chess by the window. They fought fiercely, and they cared about Baoyu flawlessly.Baoyu just sat and watched with a smile, and sometimes added a few words.
Tanchun was disturbed by Baoyu's words and went to the wrong place, feeling a little uncomfortable.Tanchun squinted at him, joked with Baoyu casually, and said, "You're really free now."
Baoyu's face immediately turned ugly, and he stood up abruptly. "She thinks I'm worthless, and you despise me too! Why did I cut my mouth and beg my ancestors to stay, and only want to have fun with you, so you despise me like this. If so, I still What are you doing here, I'm leaving!"
Tanchun didn't expect Baoyu to be so angry with a small sarcasm of his own.I didn't see Baoyu like this before. He was never angry or annoyed by such trivial matters.Tanchun knew that he was unlucky today and met a rotten egg.How could she provoke him? When he got angry, Mrs. Wang knew that she was not the most unlucky one?
Tanchun bit his lower lip, held back his anger and grievance, and pulled Baoyu to coax him a few words.
That's good for Baoyu, laughing through tears. "I don't ask for anything else, as long as you know my goodness."
Tanchun looked at Baoyu perfunctorily, nodded with a smile, and agreed with Xichun: "Of course we know."
Tanchun said this on the mouth, but she was extremely bored in her heart. She had long been envious of the life of the dead second sister.The second sister had a good aunt who taught her the ability to be a housekeeper, and found her such a reliable marriage. Her husband's family was still in Beijing, so they were close, and she could rely on the father of the Minister of Rites as a backer in the future.Isn't this kind of life what she always wanted?Now all the good things are happening to her second sister, she can see it but can't touch it, and she is inevitably envious and jealous in her heart.
Tanchun dealt with Baoyu more and more carefully, and followed him in everything, but she couldn't help herself from the bottom of her heart.Xichun is timid at first, doesn't cause trouble, and follows Baoyu's temperament.
Baoyu and her were unhappy together, always feeling as if there was a wall between them.In the end, Baoyu still felt bored and said goodbye to them hastily.Sister Bao is not there now, only a few maids in the room treat him sincerely.Xiren was especially concerned, coaxing and teasing him in different ways.
Baoyu was coaxed to be happy, and he and the attacker started arguing with each other.The two rolled over on the couch a few times, and Xiren hurriedly stopped Baoyu and begged for mercy.Baoyu saw that Xiren's cheeks were flushed, and he lowered his head halfway, extremely shy, and his heart trembled.
Baoyu suddenly remembered what he had done with the attacker after he dreamed of traveling in the illusory realm that day.Thinking of the past six months or so, all he met in the academy were scholars with "high aspirations", and there was not even a caring person around him.Baoyu felt bitter, and felt more and more good about attacking people.
At this moment, Baoyu looked at Xiren's delicate appearance, and on a whim, she sneaked her head in and kissed Xiren.Xiren screamed, blushing, looking at Baoyu shyly, thinking rapidly in his mind.
Baoyu smiled and took Xiren's hand, stroked her white and tender arm, and slowly reached up.
Xiren expected that she was meant to be Baoyu's aunt in the future. It's not that Baoyu has never done that kind of thing, so it doesn't matter if she does it a second time.Then shyly fell into Baoyu's arms, let him play with himself...
Mrs. Wang succeeded in keeping her son behind, but she saw the eldest daughter-in-law and grandson turn against the eldest son.Not only did he not reflect on his neglect of their mother and child at the beginning, but he blamed Xing's "insidiousness" and Li Wan's "following the wind".Mrs. Wang felt that she could not continue to be so decadent. Even if she was sick, she had to take action and fight back.Otherwise, her second room would be captured by the Xing family within a few days.
Mrs. Wang counts the resources she has left now, including Jia Mu, Baoyu, and her disappointing husband.As for the Xue family, since they moved out, for some reason, they don't like to talk to her much now.If this continues, she will definitely be bullied to death by Da Fang.
Mrs. Wang immediately boosted her morale when she thought about her majestic natal family.Based on this, she should be a hundred times stronger than Xing Shi.
The next day, Mrs. Wang was very energetic, she dressed up a lot, and took her son Baoyu to Jiamu's place.
"Thinking back on these days, my daughter-in-law is really confused and ignorant, and she has caused trouble to my sister-in-law. I feel ashamed in my heart, and I don't know how to ask my sister-in-law to apologize."
Mother Jia looked at Mrs. Wang unexpectedly, and nodded with a smile: "Actually, you haven't done much wrong, so don't take it to heart."
"Then how can it be done? Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about Baoyu's child. The sister-in-law was worried and took a lot of money to send him to the academy. Although Baoyu's studies there are not effective, it is better to be at home, but I can't just disobey my sister-in-law's kindness. I still feel in my heart that I can't let go, and I'm sorry for her." Mrs. Wang's face was already pale, but this smile added a bit of "sincerity" to apologize.
Seeing that she was sincere, Jia Mu happily took her hand: "You are sensible and generous. As I said earlier, this daughter-in-law of good family background is fundamentally different from ordinary people."
Baoyu quickly agreed with a smile: "The old ancestor knows everything!"
Jia Mu was coaxed, and pretended to blame Baoyu: "Coax me again." Baoyu shook his head hurriedly, and smiled into Jia Mu's arms to act like a baby.
"I'm thinking of preparing a table of atonement for my sister-in-law, and asking my ancestors to witness." Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to interject.
Mother Jia nodded and agreed: "Good thing, good thing, I wish you could get along harmoniously with each other. All right, you can make arrangements now, and my old lady will testify to you."
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's ready, just wait for the old ancestor's words." After Mrs. Wang said, she sent her servant girl to the Xing family to invite someone.
At this time, Mrs. Xing is lying leisurely on the couch, enjoying her husband's "serving".
Jia Amnesty sat beside her and peeled the melon seeds one by one for her, and ate the broken ones by herself, leaving the good ones for Xing.Seeing that Mrs. Xing was happy, Jia She said amusedly, "Daughter-in-law, you see that I serve you well. Don't you think you can reward my two concubines for fun?"
"Well," Xing swallowed what was in her mouth, rested her head on Jia She's lap, narrowed her eyes and said, "It's true, skin whiter than snow, very beautiful, just wait."
Jia She raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Daughter-in-law, are you serious?"
Xing Shi wanted to sit up, Jia Amnesty went to help her quickly.
Xing turned her head and looked at Jia She with a smile, then turned to Jiaohong and said, "Go, invite the two sisters here."
Jia She's complexion was not very good, he looked at Xing Shi deeply, thinking that he would really push himself out?He performed so well, how could she be willing to give it up... Jia She was mourning for Spring and Autumn, but saw Jiao Hong holding a pair of snow-white rabbits.
"It's funny, since you want a concubine, I'll let you go." Xing said generously.
Jia Amnesty looked at the two rabbits, stunned, and said with a smile: "So this is what you called 'skin whiter than snow, very beautiful'?"
Xing glanced at Jia She, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Then what do you think?"
At this moment, Jin Chuan, who was delivering a message to Mrs. Wang, came in, and said respectfully, "Madam, the Second Madam would like to invite you over for a gathering, and said that she has something important to tell you."
Jia Amnesty and Xing's cold eyes shot at Jin Chuan who was delivering the message at the same time, and they both said in unison: "No!"
Seeing that Baoyu didn't go with him, Jia Lan was relieved.Before he left, he bowed deeply to Mrs. Xing to express his thanks, and his words were sweet but not greasy. "Grandmother is happy and in good health. After my little uncle was born, please ask my grandma to talk to him about me. Next time I come back, why don't I take him to pay my respects to my grandma."
