Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

When the peach blossoms were falling, Jia Lian took his wife and children, as well as Zhang Xu's eldest son and others, to Beijing with Zhang Yu.Jia Lian sent his uncle Zhang Yu and others back to the mansion first. After seeing his two cousins ​​and sisters-in-law to say hello, he led his family back to Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Lian arrived at Rongguo Mansion, he sent people to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites to deliver letters, and on the other hand, after a little freshening up, he took Sister Feng, her daughter and son to visit Mrs. Xing in Rongxi Hall.After talking with Mrs. Xing for a while, Jia Lian got up to leave and went to visit her grandmother in Lixiangyuan.

Mrs. Xing looked at her grown-up stepson, she could only smile and said, "Go, Lian'er, the old lady must be happy to see you."

Mother Jia, who was kneeling in the Buddhist hall of Lixiangyuan, was very surprised to hear the noisy voices in the courtyard. Since she came to Lixiangyuan, the courtyard has always been quiet, and even the women in the sweeping room walked quietly. Sounds are rarely heard.Such hustle and bustle has never happened before.

Amber, who was by Jiamu's side, went out for a circle, with a happy face, and came back soon, reaching out to help Jiamu.

"Old lady, Second Master Lian brought Second Mistress, as well as their eldest sister and eldest brother, to see the old lady."

Jia's mother immediately smiled, and got up with the energy of Hu Po supporting her, "Go, go, go and see my great-grandson."

"Okay, okay, old lady, be careful where you step." Amber helped Jia Mu to the main hall.

Jia Lian saw that Hu Po was helping Jia Mu, so she rushed to meet her, called "Grandmother", and helped Jia Mu to the couch in the middle to finish the work, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

But he still took two steps back, and solemnly knelt down to kowtow to Jia Mu.

"The grandson has been away from home for several years and has not been able to fulfill his filial piety at the knees of the grandmother. How has the grandmother been?"

"Okay, okay, all right. Get up."

Jia Mu stretched out her hand to pull Jia Lian to get up. After several years of absence, Jia Lian was like a jade with its mottled outer layer peeled off, revealing a warm, scholarly and elegant temperament.The simple blue cloth robe, without any extra decorations, just put on the upper body like that, it looks even more extraordinary than the splendid and colorful robes of the Rongguo Mansion in the past.He is also taller.

"Lian'er, have you grown?"

"Yes, it's a little longer than an inch. Sister Feng, bring the children here quickly." Jia Lian turned sideways to give up the seat in front of Jia's mother.

Sister Feng hugged the son who was less than one year old from the nurse, led the daughter, and knelt down in front of Jia Mu.

"Granddaughter-in-law greets the old lady, how is the old lady?"

Mother Jia didn't wait for Sister Feng to bend down to worship, she stood up tremblingly, "Oh, give me my great-grandson quickly." She reached out to hug the child in Sister Feng's arms.

Sister Feng hurriedly handed her son to Mother Jia, and got up to help Mother Jia. Jia Lian helped the old lady sit down with her great-grandson in her arms.

"This is my great-granddaughter. Get up and sit with the old lady." Jia's mother did not forget the girl kneeling in front of her.

Sister Feng led her daughter to sit next to Jia Mu. Jia Mu hugged her great-grandson, followed the child, and said a few words, full of praise, "This child looks good. This eyebrow looks like Lian'er's grandfather, and his eyes are like Lian'er's grandfather." Feng girl. Sword eyebrows and phoenix eyes. When she grows up, she will be more handsome than you." Jia Mu hugged her great-grandson and looked at her carefully for a while, then Jia Lian reached out and took the writhing son.

Jia Lian patted his son's buttocks twice, turned the son in his arms, and adjusted it to a comfortable position. smiling old lady.

"Lian'er, you are proficient at holding children. Do you practice holding your son often?" Mother Jia sighed when she saw Lian'er's familiar movements, and hugged the little girl beside her.

"The old lady is right." Sister Feng answered with a smile, "This kid caught a cold in winter and fell ill once. He would cry when everyone coaxed him, so he had to be hugged by his father. Why don't you just give the second master to practice?" Come out. I see, it's because of the anger in Second Master Lian's body."

"Oh, girl Feng, Lian'er, you have endured hardships outside. At home, there is no shortage of someone to hold the child." Jia Mu looked at her great-grandson. The child, who was less than one year old, was wearing only fine cloth clothes and looked very knotty. The sturdy ones are better than the others who grew up in the mansion.Looking at the great-granddaughter who was sitting quietly beside her, also wearing a muslin dress, but with white teeth and red lips, and a chubby appearance carved in jade, she praised: "These two children, you take care of them very well. "

Lian Er and Sister Feng accompanied Jia Mu to talk. After a while, Jia Mu asked Jia Lian why he returned to Beijing.

"Grandmother, my father wrote a letter, asking his grandson to come back to marry his sister."

"Hey, are you going back again?"

"My second uncle went back to Beijing together, so I won't go back."

"Okay, okay. It's better to stay in Beijing. Take your children back. Now that you're back home, you have plenty of time to talk." Seeing that the children in Jia Lian's arms were falling asleep, Jia's mother drove them back.

Jia Lian hugged her sleepy son, and Sister Feng led her daughter and left Lixiangyuan.

After leaving the gate of the yard, Sister Feng took her son who was sleeping, and Ping'er hurried up to help, wrapped the quilt around the child and covered his head.The nanny wanted to take over, but Sister Feng shook her head.Jia Lian picked up his daughter, and the husband and wife walked slowly towards the east courtyard side by side.

If you want Sister Feng to tell you what's on her mind, has it been hard for you to go out for a few years?Just one word - bitter!But seeing that all the Zhang family members were peaceful, quiet, and stable, living as if nothing had happened, she calmed down within a few days after arriving at the Zhang family.Following the habits of the Zhang family, they gradually changed to a day that mainly consisted of muslin clothes.After that, Jia Amnesty asked the mansion to send all kinds of fine cloth.Jia Lian said that some fine cloth is not much cheaper than silk.

Later she learned from Jia Amnesty's letter to Jia Lian that the Wang family also owed the court hundreds of thousands.She also quietly put away those thoughts that disliked the dilapidated Zhang family.Sister Feng knew in her heart that if the court pursued the owed money, the Wang family might go bankrupt.Where does the Wang family have the background of Rongguo Mansion, they paid off all the money they owed, separated the two families, and got so much property and cash.In the past three years in the Zhang family, Sister Feng not only studied, but also learned to put away her emotions, talk and live in a gentle and unassuming way.This has something to do with the two sisters-in-law of the Zhang family treating her kindly and teaching her quietly.

Sister Feng gradually fell in love with the life of the Zhang family, and she secretly teased Jia Lian that she wanted to marry her daughter to the second son of the eldest cousin.After talking about the benefits of having such a husband's family for a daughter, Jia Lian couldn't bear Sister Feng's murmurs day and night, so she had to wait until she returned to Beijing and let her father talk to her eldest cousin.

Sister Feng has another gain in the Zhang family, which is to exercise a good body.The Zhang family urged Jia Lian to study every day, and the children of the Zhang family would dance swords and punch their bodies sooner or later.And Jia Lian's habit of getting up early to practice Wuqinxi developed in Lin's family has also been well maintained.Later, after giving birth to her daughter, she also practiced together. After practicing for half a year, she felt that her body was much better.

Also, Jia Lian was taken care of by her second uncle, and Sister Feng thought it was the best thing, because she changed Jia Lian's frivolity when she saw sex.That is really a good harvest.

Jia Lian's father returned to the east courtyard with the child in his arms. Yingchun had been waiting in the east courtyard for quite a while with Brother Cong.

Jia Lian and Sister Feng were very surprised. Yingchun and Jia Cong had changed so much.

In their eyes, Yingchun, who used to be dumb, was now smiling all over his face. He took the initiative to call his second brother and sister-in-law, greeted them, and then reached out to hug the little girl in Jia Lian's arms.

"This is my niece Ying'er. She's so beautiful! Come on, call me aunt." Yingchun hugged the little girl in her arms, with that skillful posture, as if she often hugs children.

Children are the most sensitive to other people's emotions. Yingchun's love comes from the bottom of her heart. The little girl immediately laughed and called "aunt" sweetly.

The two of them didn't have much impression of Jia Congyuan. After a few years, when they saw the beautiful boy about six or seven years old in front of them, they couldn't help but praise: "The old lady often said that Baoyu is good-looking, this Brother Cong's His appearance and demeanor are clearly not inferior to Baoyu from the previous few years."

Sister Feng handed the son over to the nanny to take care of him, and gave Ping'er a wink, and Ping'er immediately followed him out.

Jia Cong came to Yingchun and coaxed Ying'er, "Ying'er, call your third uncle, and third uncle will give you this." Jia Cong shook the purse in his hand.

The little girl called "Third Uncle" in a low voice, but she turned to look at Sister Feng without reaching out for Jia Cong's things.

"Take it, this is your uncle. If you want to play in the future, you can ask him for it." Jia Lian said.

Ying'er took the purse and said "Thank you."

Yingchun liked it very much, "Second brother, sister-in-law, bring Ying'er to me for a few days, okay?"

Sister Feng was surprised, Yingchun wants to take care of the child?But he still said: "I just came back today, after a few days of rest, Ying'er is familiar with the family, sister, don't be annoyed by sister-in-law, I will give you my niece every day."

"Okay, sister-in-law, we have agreed. I will pick up Yinger in a few days."

Yingchun and Jia Cong didn't stay long, left a gift for their children, and left the east courtyard to let their family rest.

"My sister has changed a lot. If I hadn't known her for many years, I would have been afraid that someone would have changed her soul." Sister Feng sat on the big kang and leaned on the pillow to rest.

"It's a big change, probably taught by Mr. Lin's family."

"Your sister has such a bearing. If you marry into Zhang's family, you really won't wrong your cousin. On the contrary, if your cousin doesn't fight for a Fengguan Xiapei for her in the future, she will be wronged." Sister Feng whispered privately to Jia Lian.

It turned out that when Jia Lian and Sister Feng heard that they were going to marry Yingchun to Zhang Zhen, the couple murmured a lot, alas, besides being gentle and obedient, Yingchun couldn't find any other advantages. up.Many times secretly, feel wronged for Zhang Yu.

"Yes. Hey, I can't eat it." Jia Lian quickly reached out to stop Ying'er, preventing her from putting anything in her mouth.

Ying'er was sitting next to Sister Feng, playing with the purse Jia Cong gave her, she opened it all at once, grabbed something from it, and stuffed it into her mouth.

Sister Feng was also taken aback, and snatched the purse from Ying'er, "Brother Cong gave you something, but it ruined the child."

Ying'er refused, and stretched out her hand to snatch it with Sister Feng. As soon as the mother and daughter tugged, the things in the purse scattered all over the kang.It turned out to be gold and silver-colored zizi, twenty or thirty of them, very exquisite, each with different patterns, scattered all over the kang.

Jia Lian hurriedly picked up the kang, and Sister Feng picked up her daughter and coaxed her daughter slowly, coaxing the golden scorpion from her hand. "Good girl, you can't eat this."

Jia Lian gathered all the gold and silver locks together, counted them, and there were 29, "29, send an odd number, what's the point?"

Sister Feng smiled, "Your Cousin Yun, you love brother every day, isn't that what you mean by love for a long time?"

Jia Lian felt his hairs stand on end, "You are really there, luckily it's my uncle."

Sister Feng stuffed everything into her purse, and coaxed Ying'er and said, "Mother will keep it for you, and I will give it to you when you grow up. Second Master, you say this brother, I am really willing to part with it. A bun and a bag , but it’s going to go to 200 taels. Didn’t he get the bottom of his box out?”

"Uncle Lin probably gave it to me. When I was in Jiangnan, I also received it during Chinese New Year."

"Second Master, why haven't I seen you?"

"It should be in the box in the study. When I returned to Beijing that year, I immediately went to my uncle's house. There were a lot of things left unorganized. It might be in the study in the west courtyard of the Lin Family."

"Second Master, are you still going to live in Lin's house?"

"Go, why don't you go. Uncle Lin left the yard, and we don't take the children to live there. Doesn't it make him sad? From now on, we will live on both sides. "

Sister Feng nodded, a man who values ​​friendship always makes people feel trustworthy.

The two talked for a while, and before they knew it, the daughter fell asleep, and the adults also fell asleep together.
