The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

One day at the end of autumn and early winter, a pair of grandparents and grandchildren came to Wang Xifeng's place inexplicably. They were originally led by Zhou Rui's family. If there is no free time, just ask Wang Xifeng to entertain them.

Wang Xifeng looked at the two people carefully. Although the clothes of the old and the young were simple, they could be regarded as neat. Grandma Liu took Wang Ban'er to pay respects to Wang Xifeng and greeted her aunt. Wang Xifeng asked her to get up with a smile. When talking, Grandma Liu was extremely cautious and polite, but no matter how thick-skinned the old man was, he would inevitably feel shy when he explained his intentions.

Grandma Liu finally finished her sentence, and several women and daughters-in-law outside came to ask for instructions and answer. Wang Xifeng had no choice but to say to Grandma Liu with an apologetic face: "You are old and don't be polite to me. There is no one in this family." Difficult times? Don’t say that we have relatives and old friends. Even if we are strangers, I won’t stand by. I think you and your nephew haven’t eaten yet. Why don’t you sit down and eat something, and wait for me? We'll talk about it when we're done with the business here."

As soon as Wang Xifeng said that, she signaled Ping'er to take Grandma Liu to the side hall, and asked to pass the food to them, and then hurriedly dismissed those people outside one by one.

Grandma Liu and Wang Baner still sat there stiffly after they had finished their meal, but they were unavoidably uncomfortable. Grandma Liu looked at the magnificence of the house and thought about the leaky walls of her house. , one underground, but she is very self-aware, knowing that this kind of life looks good, but it is not something she can live with. Look at these women and maids, all of them walk like they are floating, and they still have food. There are also many rules, alas, if you want to live like this every day, don't you want to wear out her old bones?

"Grandma and nephew are full? You came by coincidence. I just came back from the old lady's place. Those people didn't even give me a little leisure time. Even the wife didn't have time. If you don't greet well, please Don't mind." After busying for a while, Wang Xifeng came to the side hall to talk to Grandma Liu in person.

"Don't dare, don't dare, grandma is busy with things, if it's not really going to die, I wouldn't dare to ask grandma." Grandma Liu said, shaking her hands again and again.

"I understand this, but I can't move anything out for a while. Fortunately, I prepared some routine money to be distributed yesterday, so I can deal with emergencies for you first, so that you can live a good life." It is the right thing to do." Wang Xifeng already knows the benefits of being kind to others, even for people like Grandma Liu, they may not have a day of asking for help from each other, so she is very willing to be generous.

Grandma Liu had always been tense and worried all the way from the countryside to the city. Now that Wang Xifeng finally revealed something, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to think about how much she could get.

Wang Xifeng asked Ping'er to come over with a bag of silver, roughly estimated to be about 20 taels, plus a sling of money, and wrapped a lot of tea and fruit for Wang Ban'er, before Zhou Rui's family sent him to the door.

Ping'er accompanied them to the gate of the courtyard and came back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Xifeng let out a sigh of relief, and couldn't help laughing: "Grandma is really more and more compassionate. People like them come to beat the autumn wind. It is a great fortune to get a few taels of silver, I never thought that grandma would give so much as soon as she made a move."

"I'm spreading money to accumulate blessings. It's better than using usury. Besides, don't look at that old man as vulgar, but she has some backbone. If life is not really difficult, she may not be willing to come." Wang Xifeng chuckled softly.

"What grandma said is that their grandparents and grandchildren seem to know a little bit of rules, which is much better than those who cry out for being poor as soon as they come to the door." Ping'er is not uncommon. It's a matter of course, with an attitude that if you don't give it to him, you're sorry for him, and it doesn't have to be shocking.

Wang Xifeng's master and servant chatted a few more words on this topic, and not long after, another group of housekeeper's daughter-in-law came to ask for instructions, and Wang Xifeng became busy again.

Since Qin Keqing entered the Ningguo Palace, Jia Zhen bypassed Youshi and directly handed over the internal affairs to Qin Keqing, and because of Qin Keqing, the exchanges between the Ningguo Palace and other houses gradually became more frequent. Every month, there are always banquets for some names, sometimes a flower viewing banquet, and sometimes an afternoon tea banquet.

On this day, the Duke of Ningguo's mansion sent his wife over again, saying that spring was approaching, and a hundred flowers bloomed in the Huifang Garden, so Grandma Rong, as the host, invited several wives and girls of the Duke of Rongguo's mansion to enjoy the flowers.

Jia's mother is used to lively people, so she nodded her head in a hurry, and agreed to have a banquet at Ningguo's mansion the next afternoon. Mrs. Xing and Jia Yingchun also received the news.

"I've seen the flowers in Duke Ning's mansion several times. Brother Rong's daughter-in-law is elegant, and she spends so much time thinking about it." Jia Yingchun tilted her head and said lazily to Mrs. Xing.

"Families like ours, which one doesn't live like this? Jintian Hou's Mansion, which I went to last time, their family also holds plum feasts and chrysanthemum feasts every year. I have to go to that family all year round. Two or three times, I'm so familiar that I'm afraid I could walk to their house with my eyes closed." Mrs. Xing smiled helplessly.

The Mrs. Xing here is not the Mrs. Xing who followed Jiamu out of the door in the original book, and did not go out. As I said before, she now has status and silver, so she can naturally straighten her back when she goes out. Coupled with Jia Yingchun's advice, and knowing how to turn a few corners when speaking, there are also a few wives in the capital who can speak well and invite her to visit her house from time to time.

Moreover, those wives all knew about the situation of Jia's family, so no one ever brought up the matter of asking her to invite her back. No matter how greedy Mrs. Xing was, she still knew how to be grateful, so when she visited as a guest, she never forgot to prepare some small gifts as a token of appreciation. The meaning of apology, such a straightforward style, made her more famous in the circle of high-class ladies than Mrs. Wang. Poor Mrs. Wang still unconsciously thinks that she can suppress Mrs. Xing in the mansion. Feeling very proud.

"So, don't ask me to accompany you if you have nothing to do in the future. You wives can drink some wine and wipe dominoes when you get together. But besides chatting about embroidery with those little sisters, Bibi Whose clothes and jewelry are beautiful, there is nothing else to say." Jia Yingchun felt that there were very few things for girls to play with, so she went to the Linchuan uncle's mansion where she posted a post for the first time to invite them to visit the mansion. I took a few sets of jigsaw puzzles specially, and only then did I pass the afternoon.

In fact, jigsaw puzzles were not considered a fashionable thing at this time. Like Jiulianhuan, they were all popular gadgets at this time, but Jia Yingchun thought that he was not intelligent enough, and it would take a lot of mental effort to play jigsaw puzzles. Of course, I won't play Nine Links self-abuse.

"I heard that the three girls like to get together to write poems on weekdays. If you don't want to go out, you can also write poems with them." Mrs. Xing replied nonchalantly.

"Me?! Forget it... My wife is burying me. I know that there are not many things I can do, but poetry is the worst thing." Jia Yingchun widened her eyes in horror, and then waved her hands laughed at himself.

"How can I be so lazy anymore? I'm going to get married in two years..." Madam Xing felt a little powerless when she said this.

In Mrs. Xing's heart, Jia Yingchun was raised by her. Although she is not her own mother and daughter, she is better than her own mother and daughter. She is naturally excellent in her opinion, but such a good girl is tired of her bad reputation... .

Mrs. Xing understands that the reputation of Jia's family outside is really not that good. Her own network has been built for several years before she has a solid foundation. Unfortunately, if she wants to find a good family for Jia Yingchun, she is still very reluctant. Mrs. Xing sighed helplessly. Fortunately, there is only one girl in their room to worry about. If there are a few more younger ones, she will be worried to death? !

"Then don't get married! My second brother and my sister-in-law and I will stay at home with the old man and his wife for the elderly." Jia Yingchun replied with a smile.

"It's nonsense! How can there be a girl who doesn't marry when she's too old? It's spread and people will hear it. Don't your younger sisters marry? And what about the eldest sister?" Mrs. Xing angrily annoyed when she heard the words. He said a word to Jia Yingchun.

Jia Yingchun could only stick out her tongue guiltily, but she didn't dare to say any more nonsense to provoke Mrs. Xing. She knew that Mrs. Xing had treated her sincerely all these years, but she also knew that Mrs. Xing could not do some things alone. Got the Lord's.

The next day, as soon as everyone in Rongguo's mansion had breakfast, Mother Jia took the lead, passing by the street gate of Huifangyuan in a small car, and all the way to Tianxianglou where the banquet was held.

Jia Yingchun felt a little apprehensive about Tianxianglou because it was the legendary place where Jia Zhen and Qin Keqing had an affair, and where Qin Keqing committed suicide in the end, but she also knew those legends...maybe it wasn't really a legend, but just She didn't have the guts to find out, and besides, so what if it was true?That was the path Qin Keqing chose herself, she and her had only met each other a few times, and the two of them didn't have such a friendship that she could sacrifice her life to advise Qin Keqing to stay away from Jia Zhen.

When everyone went up to the second floor, You Shi and Qin Keqing, who had come here first to wait, came forward to greet everyone one by one, and heard You Shi say: "Brother Rong's daughter-in-law only wanted to invite the old ancestor and the two wives today." Grandma and grandma came to have tea and enjoy the flowers. I didn't expect the master and Brother Rong to join in the fun. I invited many people to have a drink and play at Ningxixuan. I was afraid that the hospitality might not be good for a while, so I asked my ancestors to be tolerant. "

"So that's it. Let me tell you, why does it feel like it's quite lively." Mother Jia had already vaguely heard some noise coming from the other side of the garden, and now she heard You Shi's words, and she naturally understood it.

"Do you want Baoyu to go and have a look too?" Mrs. Wang asked, looking at Jia Baoyu who was following Jia Mu.

"I don't want to hang out with those smelly men, it's better to play with my sisters and sisters here." Jia Baoyu wrinkled his nose and replied with a look of disgust.

"If you don't go, don't force him. Those people are full of wine and meat, so they don't have to spoil Baoyu." Jiamu said with a smile.

Jia Yingchun was listening to the conversation, and couldn't help but roll her eyes silently. She clearly felt that something was about to happen, but...don't care!If Xiren was really a good person, how could he follow Jia Baoyu's wishes and make peace with him?She was not the one who broke down in the future, and it was not her who was in trouble, so why did she bother to destroy the young couple?
