Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 34 Goodbye

After Yuanchun got married, Mrs. Wang didn't worry for a long time, but she was distracted by Baoyu's participation in the examination.Unexpectedly, within a few months, news of Yuan Chun's pregnancy came from Yuan Chun's side.When Mrs. Wang found out, she was both happy and worried.That day, I took Jia Yao to see Yuanchun together.It was the first time for Jia Yao to see her since she got married in Yuanchun, and she looked good, so she knew that her life after marriage was still very happy.Yuan Chun became pregnant not long after she got married, so her husband's family was naturally very happy.The two families originally had a good friendship, and because this family also belongs to a branch of the clan, it is also surnamed Mo.Now the family has already been separated from the direct branch, and the family lives comfortably on their own.Because the head wife of this family has no mother-in-law at the top, no sister-in-law and sister-in-law at the bottom, and the husband has two neighbors and is honest, and he has been living a comfortable life, so he does not have the usual dissatisfaction with Yuanchun. pleasing to the eye.Yuan Chun was pretty, and behaved properly and generously, and when Yuan Chun was still a girl, she was very optimistic when the two families were in contact, so she was proud of Yuan Chun.Now Yuan Chun has her grandson in her belly, so when she saw Mrs. Wang leading a beautiful little girl over, she was all smiles.He praised Jia Yao for her good looks and good temperament.Jia Yao was originally bright and sweet, so she was very pleasing to the elders, but seeing the smile on Mrs. Mo's face, Mrs. Wang knew that her mother-in-law was very satisfied with her eldest daughter, so there were more girls looking at her eldest daughter. pleasing to the eye.So they are very satisfied with each other.

Mrs. Wang is the second wife of Jia's mansion, so it's not easy to stay there, but she went to chat with Yuan Chun about the family life, gave a few instructions to pay attention to, and came back after lunch.But Jia Yao was kept by Yuan Chun.Mrs. Mo's family thought that Yuanchun was pregnant with a child, and she would be in a better mood, and because Jia Yao was pretty, sweet-talking, and attractive, she was very willing to have Jia Yao stay.But Jia Yao was worried that Yuan Chun was pregnant, and she wanted to stay with Yuan Chun.Mrs. Wang originally only made a few symbolic refusals, and seeing that the mother-in-law was sincerely willing to let her youngest daughter live, she agreed.He only told Jia Yao not to be self-willed and not to cause trouble to others, so he went back by himself.

Jia Yao lives in the Mo Mansion, and her life is quite comfortable.Because she is a petite guest, everyone in the Mo family treats her politely.Because Yuan Chun has not yet shown her bosom, there is no inconvenience in her activities.It's just that Mrs. Mo was worried about her grandson, so she asked Yuan Chun to rest more every day.Jia Yao's brother-in-law is the youngest son of the mansion, so Yuan Chun usually doesn't need a housekeeper, he just needs to take care of the affairs of their small courtyard.Now that Yuan Chun is pregnant, although there is no serious problem, it is best to be careful.Therefore, I no longer take care of some things personally. Yuan Chun wanted to teach his younger sister, so he asked her to help her with some things.Ask her two maids to teach her what she doesn't understand.These two servant girls were brought by Yuan Chun from Jia's mansion to the palace, and then to Mo's mansion, so they knew a lot.If it wasn't for Yuan Chun's determination to follow Yuan Chun, it would be more than enough to be a decent lady outside.Jia Yao has learned some vulgar things from Mrs. Wang since she was ten years old, but what Yuan Chun, who lived in the palace, taught her is different from what Mrs. Wang taught her.Jia Yao had been with Yuanchun for a while before, and she already vaguely understood why rich families were willing to ask the nuns in the palace to educate the girls in the family.People just have knowledge and vision.Yuan Chun taught Jia Yao not just some economic vulgar things. Of course, Yuan Chun would also tell Jia Yao little by little, but Jia Yao thought that modern asset evaluation and audit budgets are more advanced, and Yuan Chun also taught her about needlework. , pay attention to wearing jewelry.In fact, Jia Yao lived in Jia's mansion, and she followed Jia's mother to visit and receive gifts since she was a child. In addition, Jia's mother loved her, and the things she saw were all good, but there is still a difference between the upper floor and the top floor.What Yuan Chun told her is equivalent to appreciating luxury goods in modern times, and it is a compulsory course for the upper class.Yuan Chun has been in the palace for so many years, so he must have seen many of them.Therefore, Jia Yao has learned a lot.Yuan Chun had some jewelry brought out from the palace as a gift from a nobleman, and she showed some to Jia Yao.She heard some gossip from Mrs. Wang, and knew that the family was not going to send Jia Yao to the palace, so she didn't focus on telling her about the exquisite dress in the palace.Still, a little bit about royalty.Of course, it's all about things that everyone knows.

The weather was fine that day, Jia Yao pushed open the paper window, saw that the sun was high outside, and there was a bit of wind blowing, bringing a little bit of coolness, so she became interested and suggested to Yuan Chun to go outside for a walk.Yuan Chun also knew that she should exercise appropriately during pregnancy, so she readily agreed.Jia Yao supported Yuan Chun and walked slowly to the garden behind Yuan Chunyuan. The scenery along the way was beautiful.Now that autumn has entered, the heat will dissipate a bit, and the weather is so refreshing.There are several pots of precious chrysanthemums in the yard, and Yuan Chun was very interested to admire them once.Jia Yao also felt that it was very comfortable to take a walk in this weather, and it was quite comfortable for her to have people by her side.Yuan Chun Xu is pregnant, which adds a bit of maternal nature, and has been holding Jia Yao's shoulders.Jia Yao has always enjoyed the intimacy with her relatives, so she usually sticks to her mother.Yuan Chun embraced her like this, and Jia Yao couldn't help snuggling closer.

After bypassing that piece of garden, you can see a man-made pool, with a few lotus leaves standing there, the green color has not faded, and it looks gratifying.A small pavilion was built beside the pool, which is not gorgeous, but rather elegant.Yuan Chun didn't want to go any longer, so he ordered his servants to set up cushions there, and put a plate of snacks on the table, thinking that he should sit in the pavilion for a while and take a rest.Jia Yao did it with Yuan Chun once, and felt bored.I want to take a walk behind the pool by myself and see the scenery behind it.The backyards of the several courtyards in the Mo Mansion are all connected together, and the left and right can't reach the front yard, and people won't get lost.Yuan Chun didn't detain her either, he just asked Taoxi, the girl Jia Yao brought from home, and Bi Jun, the eldest girl of her own, to follow her, and then let her go.

Jia Yao walked around the pool along the path, and behind him was a rockery, which was very uniquely built.Bi Jun naturally knew the way, and led Jia Yao all the way through the rockery to the entrance of a bamboo forest.The rockery blocked it just now, but Jia Yao didn't see the scenery here at all, and she couldn't help but sigh the ingenuity of the designer.This piece of bamboo forest is not very dense, with sunlight falling from above, hitting the beautiful bamboo leaves in bits and pieces, casting mottled shadows on the ground.The bamboos on both sides are not very neatly planted, but they are somewhat patchwork.In the middle is a narrow path paved with dirt and blue cobblestones.Very humble.Jia Yao has always loved beautiful scenery, and has traveled to many places in her previous life.Therefore, seeing the bamboo forest where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, Jia Yao is more interested.Walked in along the narrow path.It was only when I went in that I realized that the bamboo forest, which was only a few dozen paces from the outside, was quite deep.Jia Yao thought that the sisters on the left and right didn't pay any attention to it, and the maid Bijun who followed behind should be familiar with this place, so she didn't mind it, and she just wanted to go to the end to have a look.

The further you go in, the bamboo forest becomes denser, Jia Yao can't help but hesitate a bit.Bi Jun thought she was scared, so she comforted her, "Miss San, don't be afraid, it looks a bit denser, just this section. We usually go to pass on messages to my wife, and we often go here when we get impatient and take a detour." Jia Yao There is nothing to be afraid of, but I am afraid that walking around in other people's houses will not be good, so after hearing what Bi Jun said, I naturally went forward again.Sure enough, he left the bamboo forest in a few steps.When he was about to reach the end of the bamboo forest, he felt that his sight became much brighter.However, Jia Yao faintly heard the voice of someone speaking.Originally, she didn't take it seriously, she just regarded it as a servant doing things in the yard.However, he led the two servant girls out of the bamboo forest, and was stopped within a few steps.Jia Yao recognized this person, he was a servant of her brother-in-law's pen and ink, named Do Zhihuan.I only heard the young man say, "Miss Jia, the second master is entertaining foreigners. It's not convenient to go there." Jia Yao naturally responded with a smile.Looking up, I saw a screen erected abruptly in the open space, and I don't know who is behind it.Just as she was thinking about who her brother-in-law would entertain behind, she saw her brother-in-law come out from behind the screen.

Jia Yao naturally greeted her brother-in-law generously.Mo Tingfeng looked at the little wife and sister in front of him, and couldn't help but hate himself for not thinking carefully, and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law didn't think of it. I entertained friends here, just for the sake of quietness. But Yao'er can't visit today." Have fun. Although there are foreigners over there, there is no hindrance because of the screen. Don't mention it to your sister when you go back. Otherwise, your sister will definitely blame me." Jia Yao naturally obediently responded.Mo Tingfeng instructed Bi Jun a few more words, and Bi Jun thought that nothing happened anyway, so she also complied with her uncle's words.Mo Tingfeng then personally asked Zhihuan to send Jia Yao back.

Jia Yao didn't say much, she saluted again, took Bijun and Taoxi and turned around and went back the same way.But she didn't know that there was another person turning out from behind the screen, looking at her back with a smile on his face, it was the boy in the peach blossom forest in the back mountain of Qingxu Guan.Mo Tingfeng watched Jia Yao's back disappear into the bamboo forest, then turned and walked back.Seeing the third prince came out from the screen, he couldn't help being slightly startled. Thinking of the reputation of his wife, sister and daughter, he hurriedly said, "Why did the third prince come out? My wife and sister came here for a stroll, the little girl has already gone back Why don't we go back and continue talking..." Mo Lanyan raised his hand to stop him, and smiled, "Master Liang is not in a hurry, you said this little girl is your wife and sister? Then she is the third lady of the Jia family. ?”

Not to mention that Mo Tingfeng still evaded and concealed it, Mo Lanzhang lightly rubbed his thumb and forefinger, as if he could feel the temperature of the peach blossom in his hand again.At this time, he retreated a little bit from the deepness and calmness that did not belong to a teenager, and the smile on his face had a trace of nostalgia and a little childishness.

Alas, the last time we met, I followed what a gentleman should do, and I never told anyone about it, nor did I check your identity.Just pretend you've never seen it before, but this is the second time you've bumped into my arms.The third lady of the Jia family?If I have a chance to see you next time, I must at least tell you something, the dance is beautiful
