The Red Mansion's Late Welcome Spring

Today, the capital is full of artisans building gardens, and vehicles transporting flowers, plants, trees, tables, chairs, doors and windows, and a corner of the Rongguo Mansion has also been integrated into the wonders of the capital.

When the carriage that Aunt Xiao and Sister Xiao Rou were sitting in was parked in front of the black oiled gate with the words "Jia's Mansion" hanging on it, there happened to be a cart of wood and stones driving into the alley from the entrance of the private alley next to it, because of the noise around them, The tranquility in front of the door here has become extremely conspicuous.

After the following woman handed over the name card, the concierge hurriedly sent the card to the inner courtyard for instructions, and soon the woman led the sedan chair and a few servants came out, and politely asked Grandma Xiao and her daughter to sit in the sedan chair instead. enter.

Grandma Xiao knew that the rules of the Rongguo Mansion were not inferior to theirs in the Linchuan Mansion, but now looking at the rules of these servants in Jia's house, they are also very good, not at all like what they said, but in a blink of an eye she went back to the house. Thinking that this Jia's family is not the Duke Rong's mansion after all, it can't be compared, but my brother-in-law has a very good vision, and he can pick out someone who can stand on the stage from the crowd.

The sedan chair came to the gate of the ceremony, and Jia Yingchun led a little girl, and there were several women and maids waiting there to greet her. Grandma Xiao got off the sedan chair, and Jia Yingchun greeted her and said, "Grandma Xiao Well, it just so happens that my wife went out to visit her sister's house today, this is the first time for me to personally receive a distinguished guest, so please forgive me if I do not greet you well."

"What did the Second Miss Jia say? She came here to talk to you on a temporary basis. How dare you dislike anything? I was worried that it would disturb your tranquility." Grandma Xiao replied with a smile on her face. .

"In these days, the surroundings are noisy during the day, so how can there be any peace? If I hadn't had a place to hide, I would have gone out." Jia Yingchun held Grandma Xiao's arm and walked slowly go inside.

A group of people went all the way to the main room of Feixue Pavilion and sat down. Grandma Xiao didn't know how to speak for a while, and seeing the little girl with bright eyes and bright teeth beside Jia Yingchun, she smiled and said: "Your eldest sister Already this big? I remember seeing her on Mrs. Shi’s birthday last time, she was still small at that time, and she looked very cute.”

Jia Yingchun saw that Grandma Xiao asked the maid behind her to hand over a small purse while she was talking, and then told the eldest sister to play with it. Obviously, she was not unprepared. A new courtyard was built at the back of the house, and my sister-in-law had to supervise those people to see if they were lazy, and was called by the second wife to help there from time to time. I thought that a bunch of craftsmen and carpenters came and went, and no matter how well-behaved a child is, they still have curiosity. In order to avoid any conflicts, I simply took her to play with me during the day, and at night I asked my mother to send her back to the yard where my brother and sister-in-law are temporarily staying."

"Why is your family building a new yard? I heard that many families are busy building gardens to welcome the mothers in the palace back home to visit relatives. Do you just plan to build a yard?" Grandma Xiao asked puzzled.

"How could it be possible to only build a small yard?! That's because my brother and sister-in-law are going to move back. The master thought that our house is not big enough, so he begged the second master to move an extra piece of land for our family to use. Now you hear The sound came from the yard built in the back. As for the place where the Provincial Garden was built, it was in the land jointly enclosed by the two prefectures of Rongning and Ningxia. Listen to my sister-in-law. It's a Rongguo mansion." Jia Yingchun smiled with some disdain.

"So that's the case, I thought..." Grandma Xiao smiled, but she didn't say clearly that she thought the Duke of Rong's government planned to act in a low-key manner. It turned out that she didn't see it, but it was as it should be. After all, if it weren't for the construction of a garden to take the virtuous concubine back to the mansion to visit her relatives, there would be no trouble in the Rongguo mansion to let the nobles separate the family. Now that it's all like that, how can a small yard be enough?

"Mother, don't worry about talking to Sister Jia, my sister and I haven't apologized to Sister Jia yet." Xiao Rou heard that her mother hadn't changed the topic to the purpose of their visit today, she whispered anxiously Grandma Xiao's sleeve reminded in a low voice.

"Oh! This...Miss Jia, in fact, we came here today, but our mother and daughter have some things to explain to Miss Jia." Grandma Xiao said with a face of shame, carefully choosing her words.

"Why did Grandma Xiao say that? Did we have any misunderstanding?" Jia Yingchun's heart suddenly rose, and she asked back pretending to be nonchalant.

"Sister Jia, are you still angry with my sister and me? We shouldn't have said those things that day. In fact, we were tricked into thinking that you had other thoughts about Daddy. Later we also knew that was not the case at all. , so please forgive us, okay?" Xiao Rou said anxiously.

"You have been taught by your mother and grandmother. What is right and wrong is not for me as an outsider to say. I don't know how to answer you like this." Jia Yingchun said with some helplessness.

"Why doesn't it matter?! Mother clearly said... um..." Xiao Mei's sister covered her mouth after she had only spoken halfway, and she frowned at her sister in puzzlement.

"Isn't it right to tell you too much? See what you're talking nonsense again?!" Xiao Rou angrily warned her sister in a low voice, then glared at her for a few more times before letting go.

"But..." Although Xiao Mei's mouth was free, she felt extremely wronged in her heart. She hesitated to speak and looked at Grandma Xiao and Jia Yingchun, and then she lowered her head and said softly, "Actually. It would be nice if Sister Jia could be our aunt, but it's scary when the second uncle loses his temper, and Sister Jia will definitely not like it."

Jia Yingchun listened to Xiao Mei's whisper, although it was a little blurry, she could still hear a little bit, she helplessly stroked her forehead and sighed softly, then turned her head and said to Lian Hua'er: "Lian Hua'er, take eldest sister and Miss Xiao to the east. Playing in the wing room, I remember that the kitchen seems to have made cheese this morning, I went to get some back for them to taste, remember to ask someone to watch them, don't get hurt."

Lianhua'er responded quickly, and then called the eldest sister's nanny in, and called two maids to lead Xiao Rou and Xiao Mei, and then led them out to play in the side room.

A few little girls were paid by Jia Yingchun, and there was no conversation between the two adults again. Grandma Xiao thought that since she came here today, she couldn't be fooled by others, so she said again: " I know that Second Miss Jia must have been a little unhappy with our family, it is our fault for not being strict in governance, I am here to apologize to Second Miss Jia." While speaking, she got up and wanted to salute Jia Yingchun .

Jia Yingchun was so startled that she quickly jumped up and grabbed Grandma Xiao, and said in a hurry: "Don't, don't, Grandma Xiao's big gift makes me feel even more uneasy. It's not a big deal, it's over, you Why bother to take it to heart."

"How can it be said that it's not a big deal? You also know that on your mother-in-law's birthday, when you and Mrs. Xing came to celebrate, her mother-in-law once proposed to Mrs. Xing that she wanted to hire a girl as the second daughter-in-law, but I didn't know that at that time. The mother-in-law's plan, coupled with the deliberate instigation of the villain in the mansion, will cause sister Rou and the others to say something shameless to the girl. Later, after the mother-in-law found out about it, she called me to Haosheng to talk and explain What she thinks, I know that I have committed the crime of jealousy." Grandma Xiao ignored Jia Yingchun's persuasion, and went on talking.

"Well, in fact, who wouldn't make a mistake? Anyway, I have nothing to lose. Grandma Xiao really doesn't have to." Jia Yingchun looked up at Nanny Zhou with some embarrassment, but Nanny Zhou also seemed a little helpless Well, probably no one would have thought that people in the Linchuan uncle's mansion would be willing to make love to her for Xiao Yun's marriage.

"This kind of matter is related to Miss Jia's reputation. It can't be just because you don't care about it. What's more, my mother-in-law has always been the most proud of her housekeeper for many years. There are very few servants in the house who have different ideas. This time, because she is a girl, she can't be the master. Love, dissatisfied and went the wrong way, and even instigated the little master to almost go astray. After the mother-in-law found out about this a few days ago, she lost her temper. We have to make an exception and just sell that girl out." Grandma Xiao told Jia Yingchun how to deal with Ruyi.

After Jia Yingchun heard this, she couldn't help but smiled wryly: "Why did Grandma Xiao tell me this? It was originally a private matter in your house, but I let an outsider know about it. This... is really inappropriate."

"Actually, what I really want to say is that my mother-in-law has been having a lot of headaches about my uncle's marriage all these years, but last year my uncle revealed that he had a favorite girl in his heart and begged my mother-in-law to take care of him. The in-laws and husband also want to Seeing that my uncle left home to go to the military camp when he was in his teens, and finally returned to Beijing for a family reunion in the first few years, naturally he attaches great importance to my uncle's opinion..." Grandma Xiao hurriedly resumed the conversation, explaining .

"Wait! The person that Grandma Xiao is talking about... is Second Master Xiao!? You just said that he already has a sweetheart? Isn't that just right? Let Mrs. Linchuan go to the other party's house to propose marriage as soon as possible. How could it be involved? What about me?" Jia Yingchun was a little confused, she felt that she must have heard Grandma Xiao's words correctly, but why did Madam Linchuan still want her to be her daughter-in-law?Could it be that there is something wrong with the girl Xiao Erye likes?

"Because of that girl...that girl..." Grandma Xiao looked at Jia Yingchun, and the smile on her face became more and more awkward.

Looking at Grandma Xiao's smiling face, Jia Yingchun gradually had a bad feeling in her heart...

Jia Yingchun was stunned for a long time before pointing at herself with difficulty, and said, "What do you mean...don't you say...that girl...is me?!"

"Hey... yes... If my mother-in-law hadn't thought that she had been with Mrs. Xing for several years and knew that you are a good-natured person, she wouldn't dare to accept my uncle's request easily, but she didn't expect...Second Miss Jia, I see that my uncle is really sincere to you, why don't you give him a chance to talk to you well, what do you think?" Grandma Xiao felt the pressure on her shoulders immediately after she finished saying this. Fly away lightly.

"But I don't know who Second Master Xiao is, why would he..." Jia Yingchun really wanted to say that this is too unscientific! !She is very clear that she has never seen any outsider in the years she has been here, so how could she know that the second master of the Xiao family is round and flat? !Think about where he heard some strange rumors to know about her?But how can anyone fall in love without even meeting him? !Is that Second Master Xiao really okay?

"Grandma Xiao, my girl has never met Second Master Xiao, why did such an oolong thing happen? Did Second Master Xiao recognize the wrong person? But who did he recognize as my girl?" Nanny Zhou listened for a long time. , finally couldn't help but ask a question.

"It's unlikely to admit the wrong person. My uncle has always been careful in his work, so how could he make a mistake in marriage? But this time, my father-in-law also spoke. He said that since he is the person my uncle loves, now that he has made such a mistake, There must be something that my uncle didn't think well, so I asked my uncle to find a way to get Miss Jia's refusal. I also know that this kind of request is against the rules, but Miss Jia, please trust us again and agree to agree with Second Uncle. When we meet, if you have any doubts, you can ask them face to face, don't you think so?" Grandma Xiao said helplessly.

"Grandma Xiao, can you let me think about it for a few days? This kind of thing surprised me so much. I was still at a loss for a while. I really don't know whether I should accept this request." Jia Yingchun twisted her fingers weakly. , and finally replied cautiously.

"That's what it should be, then I'll wait for Miss Jia's reply, but I have to ask you to explain this matter well in front of Mrs. She and Mrs. Xing." Of course, Grandma Xiao didn't dare to force her, so she quickly responded road.

At this time, Jia Yingchun could only sigh silently with Mother Zhou playing chess and others. What kind of magical turning point is this?She didn't even know when she messed with others.
