The heart of the red mansion is like jade

Xiangyun and Baoyu chatted until evening, when they heard a little girl outside come to invite them to dinner, they packed up hurriedly, and went to Jia Mu's place together.When the two entered the room, they saw that everyone was there, except for the two of them, so they hurriedly greeted Mrs. Jiamu Xingwang and Li Wanfeng.It's late again, please forgive me.Mrs. Wang was already unhappy about Daiyu's exploration of the spring, but now that Xiangyun and Baoyu came together, she was even more angry.Mrs. Xing saw that Mrs. Wang was so angry that she was happy, so she smiled and said, "Miss Yun is here too. You brothers and sisters haven't seen each other for a long time. It's okay to come and talk for a while." After all, Xiangyun is Jiamu's natal family When Mrs. Jia heard Mrs. Xing talking about Xiangyun, she was also happy, so she smiled and said, "What the eldest lady said is right." Then she asked Mrs. Wang if the banquet was ready, and Mrs. Wang said, "Everything is ready, just want Please show me, the old lady, where should the dinner party be?"

Mother Jia thought for a while and said, "Let's put it in the dining room next to it. There are capital letters there, and a screen in the middle. We don't have outsiders here, so let's eat with you gentlemen." , and everyone sat down to eat.Because it was a family banquet for Daiyu Tanchun, Daiyu Tanchun was arranged to sit next to Jia Mu on the left and right. Shi and Hu are also there, and everyone sits down according to their positions.Baoyu was placed next to Xiangyun. Xiangyun was still angry that he could not take the lead, but he was happy to see Baoyu next to him.

The other table was also seated in order, but Jia Zheng found that Jia Huan was missing, so he hurriedly asked, "Where is Huan'er? Why isn't it here?" Mrs. Wang didn't intend to ask Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan to come out at all, so she asked Back: "Huan'er is not in good health. Aunt Zhao is taking care of him." Jia Zheng said, "In that case, we won't wait for him." Jia Lian said, "I saw brother Huan just now. It's not bad." Zheng then asked the little girl to invite Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan.

When they were young, Aunt Zhao and Jia Huan arrived. It turned out that they had already prepared for the banquet. They waited until the banquet was opened but they were not invited. They knew that Mrs. Wang did not want them to appear. It was only later that I realized that Jia Zheng had sent someone.The two hurriedly followed the little girl, and when they arrived at the dining room, another little girl led Aunt Zhao through the side door and went straight inside, while Jia Huan went straight into the dining room.

Aunt Zhao greeted Mrs. Jiamu Xingwang, and sister Daiyu also stood up and gave a half-respect to Aunt Zhao.Jia Huan greeted everyone outside, and Jia Zheng said, "Huan'er, sit down quickly." Jia's mother also said, "Aunt Zhao, you have contributed to the birth of the third girl, so sit down and have dinner today." A stool was added to Aunt Zhao below, and Aunt Zhao kowtowed to Jia Mu and sat down too.Mrs. Wang hated it even more.

When Jia Mu saw that everyone was here, she smiled and said, "Let's have a banquet." The little girls outside hurriedly brought up all kinds of delicacies.When the dishes were served, Mother Jia found that there were mostly green vegetables on the table and few meat dishes. This was not the usual style of the Jia family. It's not good for her to shame Mrs. Wang in public, she just gave Mrs. Wang a sideways look, and said nothing.Jia Amnesty was naturally dissatisfied, but because Jia's mother didn't say anything, she didn't speak. She only thought that the banquet would be over soon so he could go to Cuilin Garden, where Yu'er was still waiting for her, so she didn't care about the food.Jia Zheng was not happy. He knew that Mrs. Wang treated Aunt Zhao's mother and child badly, but now seeing the preparations for the banquet and the turmoil just now, he believed in his own thoughts even more.Also, Mrs. Wang's recent actions really chilled him, so he said to Jia's mother: "Old lady, now that Tanchun is adopted as a righteous daughter by the concubine, I think she is the princess. You have made merit in bringing up the third girl, and you have done your best to serve your son, so now we promote her to be Mrs. Ping, so that Tanchun can be regarded as a daughter-in-law, do you think so?"

Mrs. Wang was startled by Jia Zheng's words, and Aunt Zhao was happy. Others reacted differently, but none of them showed it. Only Tanchun and Jia Huan looked at Jia's mother eagerly.When Jia's mother came in, she was angry with Mrs. Wang's actions: I am the ancestor of the Rongguo Mansion, you rely on Yuan'er as your daughter, no one will pay attention to it, and you dare to hide it from me, an ancestor.Now is a good time to cut your arrogance, and looking at the hope in Tanchun's eyes, it is good for you and the Jia family.He said: "The second master is right. Bian Sheng will be Mrs. Ping, and I will only be called Mrs. Zhao from now on." Aunt Zhao hurriedly kowtowed to Jia Mu, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Mother, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang kowtowed, and Fu kowtowed to Mrs. Zhao.Mrs. Zhao told them to get up with tears.Sister Feng, Li Wan, Daiyu Yingchun, Xichun and others hurriedly congratulated Mrs. Zhao, and everyone outside also congratulated Jia Zheng. Jia's mother laughed and said, "Let's have a banquet then."

Everyone ate the meal with their own thoughts, Mrs. Wang was naturally angry, Mrs. Jia Shexing and Feng Sister Jia Lian gloated, and Li Wan was always kind. He only felt that Mrs. Zhao was happy for her when she got out of the way. Happy with Mrs. Zhao, Baoyu and Xiangyun only talked on the sidelines, not caring about it at all.The rest of the people just thought that the banquet would soon be over and went home.Because most of the dishes were vegetarian, which didn't suit the tastes of everyone in Jia's house, only Daiyu and the sisters ate happily. When they were young, everyone said they were full, so the banquet broke up.

Everyone went home.Jia Zheng asked the little girl to call Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Zhao, Li Wan, Baoyu Tanchun, and Jia Huan to return to Rongxi Hall.Daiyu welcomes the spring and cherishes the change of spring and wants to return to the Grand View Garden.Xiangyun was worried about Baoyu, and because Xiaoxiang Hall was the closest to Yihong Courtyard, he said he wanted to go to Yihong Courtyard with Daiyu. Daiyu smiled and agreed, and the four of them went back to Grand View Garden together.

In Rongxi Hall, Jia Zheng sat at the main seat, and asked Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhao to sit down as well. Mrs. Zhao did not dare to do so. Jia Zheng insisted again and again, and Mrs. Wang also asked her to sit down. Jia Zheng immediately said: "From now on, Mrs. Zhao will be Mrs. Ping, the second wife of Jia's house. She is no different from the second wife. You must respect her in the future." Tell your mother to tidy up, and move to the east wing tomorrow." Tanchun agreed, and Jia Huan and Mrs. Zhao went to the hut where they used to live to pack up. Baoyu and Li Wan returned to the Grand View Garden, and Jia Zheng was resting at Mrs. Wang's place. .

Mrs. Wang was still feeling uncomfortable, so she listened to Jia Zheng said: "Now that Mrs. Zhao has been promoted, I think you are also unhappy, but it should be like this when Mrs. Zhao gave birth to a girl. From now on, you should treat them better, after all, they are a family." Don't hang out with your younger sister's family, Xue Pan's case is more than a death sentence, and now I hate using power for personal gain and bullying others, maybe the Xue family will cause big trouble, you don't want to meddle in their family's affairs anymore." Mrs. Wang promised After all, I didn't take it to heart, I only served Jia Zheng to rest, and I fell into a deep sleep.

Besides, Mrs. Zhao and Tanchun Jia Huan went back to the house, and Tanchun pulled Jia Huan to kneel down for her, calling her mother. Mrs. Zhao hurriedly pulled her up, with tears streaming down her eyes. After 13 years, something that only occurs in dreams has happened. I just feel that all the pain and grievances I have suffered in the past are worth it.Tanchun also hugged Mrs. Zhao and cried. In the past, he stayed away from Mrs. Zhao because he was afraid that Mrs. Wang would suppress her. Why didn't she want to call her mother and act like a baby in her mother's arms? She was taught that Mrs. Zhao was just an aunt, and she would never have a chance to call her a mother.The mother and daughter cried together in the room, but the servant and Zhao's little maid, Que'er, hurriedly said: "This is a good thing, madam, please don't cry." The two gradually recovered, and Zhao looked at the pair of children in front of them. Satisfied, he said with a smile: "Okay, Tan'er, don't cry, Huan'er help your sister sit down quickly." Shi Shu and Que'er hurriedly brought warm water to cleanse the faces of several people, and it was time for Mrs. Zhao Hi, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Get up quickly, you don't need to be too polite. It was thanks to you two for taking care of me and your girl." Xiao Que, the servant, hurriedly said that it should be done, and kowtowed to Mrs. Zhao before getting up.Xiao Que went to make tea for the three of them again, and the servant stayed in the house to serve.

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Tan'er, Huan'er, I can hear you calling me mother, so I can feel at ease even if I go." Take good care of your mother." Huan'er also said: "Yes, mother, I will definitely study hard in the future, and protect my mother and sister in the future." Zhao Shi and Tanchun laughed at the words.After all, Jia Huan was young, seeing his mother and sister laughing at him, he hurriedly said: "Mother, sister, what I said is true. I have read all the four books and five classics that sister Lin gave me. If you don't believe me, you will test me." He smiled and said, "Sister doesn't believe you, it's just Huan'er, when did Sister Lin give you the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Mrs. Zhao said: "It was Miss Lin who asked Zijuan to send it over after she came back from Gusu. She brought the four treasures of the study and two bolts of high-quality tribute satin. The tribute satin lady only made you a dress, and she was afraid that you would not like it. It has been kept in the box, and the rest are not willing to use."

Tanchun said: "Mother, I am sorry for you and Huan'er. What I have done is not as good as Sister Lin's. Mother, give me the clothes quickly, and I will change them tomorrow." Zhao promised, Tanchun He asked again: "Huan'er, can you understand those books?" Jia Huan laughed and said, "Sister Lin has marked the books, so it's not difficult to read. If I don't understand, I'll ask Sister Lin. She will tell me that every time I go to Sister Lin, she will give me delicious food and let me bring it back. By the way, I will protect Sister Lin when I grow up, but my mother won’t let me tell others that I read it. I have to pretend to go to school for these books every day, but my husband’s teaching is not as good as sister Lin’s.”

Tanchun sighed: "Huan'er, these are what my sister should do. My sister didn't do it. How about going with my sister to thank sister Lin tomorrow?" "Tan'er, Huan'er, you should go and thank Ms. Lin. Now we have finally made it through. Tan'er, if you have time, take a look at Huan'er's studies and see if he can pass the exam." Tanchun agreed, and the mother and daughter I haven't had a good conversation for a long time, and I didn't fall asleep until the fourth watch of the day.
