The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

She is unruly! "

"Is what you said true?!" Xu Hui raised her eyes and glanced at the people serving in the room, and asked Cui'er to lead them out with a wink, before asking, "Did you and Daiyu hear it?"

"Yeah." Jia Wan nodded emphatically, "They also said that Rong'er had a good friend outside, which is a top card, so they haven't returned home for a long time. They also said that Rong'er's daughter-in-law fell ill because she had a ghost in her heart, so she picked up the ashes." Rong'er bumped into her, and she was afraid that Rong'er would abandon her."

Xu Hui never imagined that Qin Keqing would do the same thing as Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan when she looked at the gentle and majestic appearance. No wonder she just mentioned a word Jia Zhen praised Qin Keqing, the expressions on the faces of Youshi and Qin Keqing It's all so wrong, you must know it himself.

"Don't tell others about this, Daiyu probably thinks that your Aunt Min will also ask about it." Xu Hui quickly said to her daughter, "When you and Daiyu heard about it, no one else knew about it, right?"

"No, Sister Lin and I made noise on purpose, and those gossiping girls quickly dispersed. Later, the girls next to Rong's daughter-in-law came to look for us." Jia Wan said in embarrassment, "Mother, what do you say?" Is this true? Brother Zhen and daughter-in-law Rong really..."

"Whether it's true or not, you can't tell the truth about it." Xu Hui frowned, "Just keep it in your heart, and don't mention it to anyone who asks."

Jia Wan also understood in her heart that many people's reputations were at stake, and this matter was beyond their Rongguo Mansion's hands, so she nodded vigorously, but hesitated for a while before saying, "We might as well not go to the East Mansion in the future, now every When I saw Rong's daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law, I felt something was wrong, and I was afraid that I would say everything out of my mouth."

"If you don't go, then don't go. Originally, the two houses don't often move around." Xu Hui sighed. I hope no one else will know about such a thing, so let it be kept in my stomach.

No.70 Once Baoyu came to celebrate his birthday

The third day of August is Mother Jia's birthday, so Xu Hui only buried in her heart what Jia Wan told her about Qin Keqing and Jia Zhen, and devoted herself to preparing for Mother Jia's birthday.Jia Baoyu and the others had already given their filial piety, so this time they had to come to the house. Although she and Jia Amnesty still had bruises in their hearts, it was difficult for them to disobey Jia Mu's wishes.

"It's been three years in a blink of an eye..." Xu Hui sighed in a low voice as she looked at the gift lists that were delivered one after another.In the past three years, the two families have not had much contact with each other, but the Xue family prefers to hang out with Jia Zheng. Jia Baoyu had already visited Xue's house earlier, and I heard that he had a very good time with Xue Baochai.

"Don't think too much, ma'am. I'm just here to celebrate the old lady's birthday. They will go back sooner or later." Jin Mian said, "The menu for that night has been drawn up in the kitchen. Madam, would you like to see it?"

"Bring it here." Xu Hui raised her eyes, took a glance at the menu from Jin Mian and said, "The old lady likes to eat sweet and rotten food, so she asked the kitchen staff to make some dishes for her and put them in front of the old lady. The rest is fine, several baskets of crabs have been sent from the south, and we will make some steamed crabs then."

"Yes, the servant will give orders." Jin Mian said with a smile.

"You've been by my side for so many years. What's your parents' idea? Have you helped me look after them?" Xu Hui never treats the people around her badly. Seeing that Jinmian is getting bigger and bigger, it should be It's time to get married.Her elder sister is now the lady in charge of the accountant in the mansion, and when the second-class maids at the bottom are trained, Jinmian should be married.

"Why did my wife suddenly say such a thing?" Jin Mian's face flashed a little shy, "Dad and mother said, it's up to my wife to decide this matter."

"Okay then, I'll start finding a good home for you." Xu Hui said with a smile.

At this moment, the wet nurse came in with Jia Qian and Jia Peng. As soon as the two children saw Xu Hui, they rushed over, chirping "Ma'am", and brought out the matter of the sister and brother fighting for the puppet today. Xu Hui decides who is right.Xu Hui held a child with one arm, smiled and listened to their conversation, and asked someone to bring some snacks.

"Ma'am, there is a letter from Dongfu, saying that Grandma Rong is not feeling well, so I'm afraid the old lady's birthday party will not be able to come." Tweety walked in with a food box, and placed the snacks in front of Jia Qian and Jia Peng. Said, "I heard that I was very ill this time, and my whole body was in a fever. Master Zhen and Brother Rong scolded the people who served Grandma Rong's side yesterday, and asked someone to invite the imperial physician Come to the door to check the pulse."

"Understood." Xu Hui gave Jia Peng a sip of the pastry without changing his face while holding the hand that held the rose lotus seed cake.

Cui'er and Jin Mian looked at each other, and found that Xu Hui did not say that she would send Qin Keqing nourishing herbs. Although she was puzzled, she finally closed her mouth and did not ask any questions.

On the third day of August, several red lanterns had already been hung in front of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Amnesty took Jia Lian to welcome the male guests who came to the door, and Xu Hui took Shen Shi to welcome the female relatives who came to the door at the second gate.Four princesses and concubines with different surnames were present, Wang Ziteng's wife Shi Shi, Shi Nai and Shi Ding's wives Yu Shi and Wu, Xu Hui's mother and sister-in-law Meng and Lu, Shen's mother Shen Tang, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu waited, and the whole flower hall was full of people.

To Xu Hui's surprise, Mother Jia didn't let Jia Baoyu stay outside, but instead called him in.Suddenly there was a boy in the house of Yishuier's family. Although Jia Baoyu still had a childish face, it still made the wives with the girls here look a little ugly.Xu Hui also frowned, but the old lady insisted on this, and Jia Baoyu had already come, so she might not be able to turn the situation around if she tried to dissuade her, so she ordered someone to go outside to send a message to Jia Amnesty.

Shi Xiangyun was very excited when he saw Jia Mu and Jia Baoyu, so he held his hand and whispered beside Jia Mu.

Jia Min and Xu Hui looked at each other, and then they looked at their daughters again, and they both understood that everyone knew what their daughter had heard in Ningguo Mansion that day.Fortunately, Qin Keqing didn't come today, and Youshi didn't talk to them absent-mindedly, otherwise he would be too embarrassed if he accidentally leaked his words.

"Old Ancestor, this is what Xiangyun personally made for you." Shi Xiangyun smiled sweetly, "The pattern on the top is a crane presenting auspiciousness. It took me a long time to draw it. Look at it, Ancestor. like or not?"

"It's beautiful." Mother Jia smiled and touched Shi Xiangyun's head, "How do you treat the green strands I gave you?"

"Cuilu is very good. She even embroiders purses for me when I have time at night." Shi Xiangyun said in a nonchalant manner, "With her by my side, no matter how late the embroidery is, I feel at ease."

Jiamu looked straight at Mrs Yu with sharp sword eyes, and after asking Cuilu in a low voice, she found out that Mrs Yu said that the family income was not enough, and that she wanted Xiangyun to do needlework every night to subsidize the family.joke!The family property left by Xiangyun's father could have been consumed by others; and the dowry left by Xiangyun's biological mother, even if Mrs Yu didn't want to raise Xiangyun, giving the dowry to Xiangyun would allow her to live a good life!The Yu family, who failed to achieve success but failed to do so, spread the news of abusing his eldest brother and orphaned daughter. Do you want Shi Nai's title of title?

Their conversations were not loud, so Mrs Yu didn't know that Shi Xiangyun was secretly complaining in front of Jia Mu, and even smiled and greeted Princess Nan'an.But Mother Jia decided to talk to Shi Nai and Shi Dinghaosheng, so as not to be dragged down by the women in the back house.

What Lin Daiyu sent was a webbing made by herself and an embroidered chicken heart sachet, Jia Wan sent a pair of embroidered shoes, and Jia Tanchun even sent the Buddhist scriptures that she copied and embroidered, all of which were extremely thoughtful things. , Coaxed Jia Mu very happy.

"Sister Lin!" Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu at a glance, and was dragged away by Shi Xiangyun just now. Now that Shi Xiangyun was talking to Jia Tanchun, he took the opportunity to sneak over, "I haven't seen Sister Lin for a long time, but Sister Lin It looks even better!" There was an obsessive look in his eyes.

Jia Min coughed on one side, which made Jia Baoyu startled, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Hello, Mrs. Aunt Min."

Xu Hui sniggered, this Jia Baoyu was as well-behaved as if he had met a natural enemy every time he saw her and Jia Min, and he didn't know what was going on.She took a sip of tea and said, "I heard that Baoyu has been studying poetry and books recently, and he must have gained a lot. When he is a little older, he will take the imperial examination, and he will definitely be able to pass the imperial examination."

Jia Baoyu frowned and was about to speak, but remembered the serious instructions given by the master before going out today, so he lowered his head and answered casually, but he thought in his heart that this eldest lady is indeed a vulgar person.He saw Jia Wan and Lin Daiyu sitting obediently beside Xu Hui and Jia Min, but he was afraid of being chased and asked about his studies, so he could only return to Jia's mother listlessly.

After a while, someone came in and said that Master Jia Zheng wanted to introduce Brother Bao to meet some colleagues, so he took Jia Baoyu out.

On Jia Mu's birthday, Jia Yuanchun also gave some gifts from the palace, but because of her low status, the gifts she gave were not expensive, so they did not cause much disturbance.But after the banquet, Mother Jia wanted to leave Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu to stay for a while.Jia Amnesty snorted, told Xu Hui not to give Shi Xiangyun and Jia Baoyu too much preferential treatment, and then left them alone.

Jia Baoyu is like a fish in the water and a bird out of the cage, laughing and playing beside Jia Mu every day, no one forces him to study, and he can have fun with sister Yun every day, not to mention how happy he is.The only fly in the ointment is that the eldest wife restrains the second sister and doesn't allow her to come out, and the third sister and sister Lin are not around, otherwise it would be the happiest for the sisters to play together.

"Old Ancestor, why don't you take Third Sister and Sister Lin together." Jia Baoyu tugged at Jia Mu's sleeve and said
