Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 23 Grandma Liu Enters Jia's Mansion ([-])

Jia Yao changed her gestures, held the orchid with both hands and raised it above her head, spiritual energy came from the chaotic place above Xianluan Terrace, poured in from her fingertips, and flowed into the dantian along the seven meridians and eight meridians.There has been no movement for so many years, but recently Jia Yao finally felt faintly that Tao Yaojue was about to break through again.These nights, after her body fell into a deep sleep, she escaped into the space and stepped up her cultivation, but she felt that the time was not yet ripe.Tonight, she was still sitting in the Xianluan Terrace practicing, but she faintly felt that she was about to break through.Sure enough, not long after entering the state, she felt a faint loosening of the realm, which was a sign of a breakthrough.Concentrating, reciting Taoyaojue's mantra silently, the spiritual energy entered her body like an empowerment, Jia Yao only felt that her body was unobstructed, not only did not feel pain, but was extremely cool and comfortable.

Vaguely, she seemed to hear a phoenix cry, and Jia Yao had already entered the realm. She only felt chaotic for a while, and she lost consciousness before she could think about it, but she didn't know that when she was promoted, she was surrounded by a lot of people. Daiyu, who was closest to her, also benefited from the aura.After being watered by the spiritual energy, a lot of filth was washed away, not to mention that the body became better, and the original extraordinary appearance became more radiant.

Waking up the next day, Jia Yao was surprised to find that Daiyu was still asleep.This has never happened.Every day when she woke up, Daiyu had already woken up or was about to wake up. It seemed that she slept well last night. Thinking of this, she got dressed and was about to go outside to wash up.Daiyu also woke up faintly, "You got up early today." Jia Yao said with a coquettish laugh, "I am the same as usual, but you are the one who slept soundly." Daiyu hugged the quilt and sat up, "No , I have been sleeping soundly these past few days, especially last night, I slept very soundly. It is not in vain that you have to drag me to sleep with you these few days." Jia Yao glanced at her, "No, I teach you to sleep together. Here comes the good point, I think I'm clingy." Daiyu was a little more awake, and couldn't help but take a closer look at Jia Yao, "Yo, how did you become more and more beautiful, Yaoer, in just one night?" Jia Yao expected to break through to the fourth place. Layers of exercises might have brought some difference to her, but she just touched her face and said, "It's hard to give up on a natural beauty! Don't talk about me, your complexion has improved a lot today, I think it took my light, follow You’ve got the Tao.” Daiyu spit at her, “I’ll praise you, you’ve got it!”

After they finished washing and washing, they went to greet Jia Mu together.Mother Jia looked at the two young ladies who were both beautiful and graceful, and felt comforted in her heart. After taking them to breakfast, she sent them to Mrs. Wang's place for class.

The two went together, and today the female teacher is teaching poetry.However, Jia Yao Daiyu's attainments in poetry and books are not weak, so she impatiently listened to the female master, and went out to look for Mrs. Wang after sitting for a while.Mrs. Wang is a spoiled child, knowing that they were naughty, she didn't say anything, she just asked the female master to bring tea and snacks to say something about hard work and other comforting words.At the moment Mrs. Wang is listening to Laixi's account about the account book in the kitchen last month.The two sat there together and took out the riddle book to guess and play. There was hibiscus cake on the table next to them.After noon, Mrs. Wang wanted to ask Jia Mu to show her something, so she took the two of them to Jia Mu's yard together.

Jia's mother just woke up from her afternoon nap and was in high spirits.When Mrs. Wang came back, Jia Mu just listened and asked Mrs. Wang to make up her mind.The mothers were gossiping about family affairs, when suddenly a girl raised the curtain outside, trying not to get in.Mrs. Wang looked at it, and asked the general to get up, "Who is that outside the door, what are you doing here? Come in and answer." Then the girl outside lifted the curtain and entered the back room, and replied, "It's from the wife's room." Aunt Zhou, I came here because I wanted to call my wife." After hearing this, Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Mu, and smiled, "I found this place for me, so I'll go back, maybe there's something wrong." Jia Mu said lightly. , "Just answer here if you have something to do, can't you tell me to listen?" Mrs. Wang smiled, "Where did the old lady go, I'm afraid it will disturb your peace." Turning to the little girl again, "In that case, call me Zhou Rui's family came in to answer."

When Zhou Rui's family came in, they gave Jiamu a proper manner first, and Mrs. Wang saluted.Respectfully said, "I disturbed the interest of the old lady, madam, and the two girls. It was not a big deal. It's just that Grandma Liu came again last time. He brought some melons, fruits and vegetables from the field and said thank you." Zhou Ji from last time came to thank Yi Er. The second grandma thought that she was kind. Although those melons and fruits are worthless, they are wild game. I don’t know if they can be appetizing. So I wanted to share them with everyone. Special Tell me to ask me to ask my wife's instructions." Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, "It's hard for her to be an old man, and she still wants to send some game. Can the second grandma treat you well?" She said to Jia Mu, "Say They belonged to a family in the countryside. Back then, their family was connected with our Wang family. Twenty years ago, my father often visited his family, but after that, they had less contact with each other, and they were not very close. They became estranged from each other. Last autumn, maybe it was almost winter, and there was nothing to eat at home, and there was no way to find me. It was the old mother-in-law of that family, who was also old, and brought her grandson. I am also busy now, but after all, they are also relatives from the past. So I sent Sister Feng to receive her. I helped a lot, after all, it’s serious after winter.” After hearing this, Jia’s mother smiled, “It’s a good thing. It’s getting hot these days, so I don’t want to move. We talked together with the old people who have been around for a long time. Even if they are all relatives, it is because they have intentions to come here, so they left without calling. Live in the mansion for a day or two, playing and playing is serious."

After hearing this, Zhou Rui's family agreed with a smile, "This is the kindness of the old lady, he must be willing. When I go to the second grandma and tell him, I will leave without any hassle." After saying that, he turned and went out.After hearing this, Jia Yao knew that this must be Grandma Liu.When she read the original book, she couldn't stop laughing when she read the part of Grandma Liu. This Grandma Liu has lived in the village for most of her life, and she is very knowledgeable. Know.And such an old man is not only knowledgeable, but also a person who repays kindness. After saving Qiaojie, people feel that Fengjie's small favor is really worth it.Now that this is Grandma Liu's second entry into Jia's mansion, Jia Yao has some other ideas, and wants to use Grandma Liu to promote one or two.

But grandma Liu was sitting on the kang and was about to say goodbye to Sister Feng. Ping'er asked, "I think you have seen grandma?" , Said: "It's getting better sooner or later, let's go, don't go out of the city to be famine." Just in time for Zhou Rui's family, he came out of Jiamu's courtyard, saw Grandma Liu and left, and said with a smile: " But your old fortune has come, and you have chosen the fate of these two people." When Ping'er asked what happened, Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "The second wife is in front of the old lady. I told the second wife quietly, `Liu Grandma is here and brings these fresh melons and fruits.' The old lady Bisheng heard it again and asked who Grandma Liu was. The second lady answered and understood. The old lady said: 'I was just trying to talk to an ancient old man, please Come and see me.' It's not that you can't think of the fate in the sky." As he said, he urged Grandma Liu to come down. Grandma Liu said: "I don't look so good in this life. Good sister-in-law, just tell me to go. That's it." Ping'er hurriedly said: "Go quickly, it's irrelevant. We old ladies cherish the old and the poor the most, and they can't compare with those crazy and cheating people. I think you are timid, that's all, grandma I should also go to the old lady to say hello, and when I get back to grandma, let's go there together." While asking the little girl, she learned that Sister Feng had finished her plans and had already left.So I had no choice but to lure Grandma Liu to Mother Jia with Zhou Rui's family.

The boys in the class at the second gate saw Ping'er come out, and they all stood up, and two more ran up and rushed Ping'er to call "girl". Ping'er asked, "What did you say?" The boy laughed. : "It's too late now, my mother is sick, and I'm waiting for a doctor. Good girl, can I ask for half-day leave?" Ping'er said: "It's good for you, it's all agreed, one day a day off , and didn’t go back to grandma, just messing around with me. The previous son went to live with him, and the second master called him unexpectedly, but he couldn’t call him. I responded and said that I had an affair. You are here again today.” Zhou Rui’s family Said: "If his mother is really sick, the girl will take care of him, let him go." Ping'er said: "Come early tomorrow. Listen, I'm going to make you sleep again. The sun is shining in the sun." Ass again! Now you go, bring a letter to Wanger, just say what grandma said, and ask him for the remaining interest. If you don’t pay tomorrow, grandma won’t want it anymore, and you will let him do it. The boy happily agreed to go. Grandma Liu turned her eyes when she heard the word "interested money", thinking how to make a living, but he shouldn't be talking too much, so she just didn't know in front of people.

Ping'er and others came to Jia's mother's room. At that time, Mrs. Wang and her sisters were worshiping in front of Jia's mother. When Grandma Liu entered, she saw that the house was full of pearls and emerald greens, and beautiful flowers and branches. She didn't know who they belonged to. There was an old woman leaning on the couch, and behind her was a girl wrapped in gauze, who was like a beauty, beating her legs, and two fairy-like little girls were leaning on the old lady's side, talking tenderly What, Sister Feng was standing and talking and laughing. Grandma Liu knew it was Jia's mother, so she hurried up to laugh with her, blessed her a few blessings, and said, "Hello, old birthday star." Jia's mother also bowed to say hello, and ordered Zhou Rui's family Pass the chair to sit. The board is still timid, and I don't know how to greet. Jia Mu said: "My dear relatives, how old are you this year?" Grandma Liu hurriedly stood up and replied, "I am 75 this year." Jia Mu said to everyone Said: "Such an old age, but still so healthy. It's several years older than me. I don't know why I can't move at this old age." Grandma Liu said with a smile: "We are born to suffer, and the old lady is born to suffer. It is a blessing. If we do the same, no one will do those farm work." Jiamu said: "Are your eyes and teeth okay?" Grandma Liu said: "Everything is okay, that is, the molar on the left side has moved this year." Jia Mu said: "I'm old, I'm useless, my eyes are blurred, my ears are deaf, and my memory is gone. I don't remember you old relatives. When relatives come, I'm afraid people will laugh at me. I don’t know it, but I can chew and eat a few bites, take a nap, and play with these grandchildren when I’m bored.” Grandma Liu laughed and said: “This is the blessing of the old lady. We think so I can't even do it." Jia Mu said: "What a blessing, it's just an old waste." Everyone laughed. Jia Mu laughed again: "I just heard Zhou Rui's family say that you brought a lot of melons and vegetables, and called He is going to pack up soon, and I was thinking of eating melons and vegetables picked from the field. The ones bought outside are not as delicious as those in your fields." Grandma Liu smiled and said: "This is wild, but eat it Fresh. We want to eat fish and meat, but we can't afford it." Jiamu said again: "Since we recognize our relatives today, don't just go if you don't want to. If you don't mind my place, just stay for a day or two before going. We also have There is a garden, and there are fruits in the garden. You can try it tomorrow, and take some home, and you can count it as a visit to relatives." Seeing that Jia Mu liked it, Sister Feng hurriedly stayed and said, "Although our place is not bigger than your yard. , there are still two empty rooms. You can stay for two days, and tell our old lady some news stories from your place." Jia Mu laughed and said, "Don't make fun of Feng girl. He is from the village. Honestly, there’s room for you to make fun of him.” Then, he ordered someone to grab the fruit and eat it with Baner. Seeing that there were too many people, Baner didn’t dare to eat it. Mother Jia ordered some money to be given to him. After drinking tea, Grandma Liu told Jia Mu what she had seen and heard in the village, and Jia Mu became more and more interesting. As she was talking, Sister Feng asked people to come Invite grandma Liu to dinner. Mother Jia picked some dishes of her own and ordered someone to send them over to eat with grandma Liu.

After dinner, Jia's mother asked Yingchun and the others to go back to their houses. Only Jia Yao stayed and asked her to read a book for her.Jia Yao read for a long time, only said that she was tired, she leaned against Jia Mu and asked, "Grandfather, it's interesting for Grandma Liu to talk today." Jia Mu put her arms around her back, "This is an ancient old man. I’ve seen more than the two of you combined, so don’t be frivolous to others.” Jia Yao obediently responded, and said, “In that case, tomorrow is brother Xiumu, let’s listen to him tell some interesting stories, shall we? Good." Mother Jia laughed, "To be clear, you two should go to bed today."

Jia Yao and Daiyu agreed, and went to rest without mentioning it.
