Edge of the Red Chamber

Hearing Wang Xifeng's voice, Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Here comes the money giver."

Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "There is only this monkey, no big or small, even I dare to arrange it." Then, everyone laughed.

Seeing Wang Xifeng coming in, Yuanyang clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Second Grandma is here."

Jia Mu also pointed to her and said, "Your sister is playing with us today, you are not allowed to win her money." Then she called Lin Daiyu to her side and said, "I am old and my eyesight is not good. Help me look at the cards. Ask someone to coax them away." He pointed to Yuanyang to show Aunt Xue the cards, but only Wang Xifeng was left out.

Xifeng then said: "I said I should come later, no, the old ancestor's aunt is waiting for someone to send money, but I am rushing to come." Suddenly Ping'er remembered that Xifeng forgot to bring money when she went out , brought a sling of money in person, Wang Xifeng saw it and said: "This is because I am afraid that I won't lose enough, so I sent this more. In this way, you don't have to let me go, just divide it between the old lady, aunt and Zhang. My sister sent it, how much trouble was saved."

One word made everyone laugh again.

Because Baoyu lost Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e also came, so they also came. Seeing that there was no one behind Wang Xifeng, he said, "I will watch the cards for Sister Feng."

Everyone in the room laughed again, Wang Xifeng laughed and scolded: "I dare not teach you."

Du Baochai and Daiyu knew it in their hearts, and Tan Chunyin asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xifeng first glanced at Baoyu, then at Jiamu, but didn't speak, because others didn't understand.

"I don't know a good heart," Mother Jia scolded with a smile, then beckoned Baoyu to her side, said a few words of comfort, then scolded Xifeng, saying, "She deserves to lose."

Early the next morning, the Lin family sent two daughter-in-laws to pick up their sisters.

It was agreed that when they got up early, before they went to Jia Mu's room, they ordered the maid to pack things quietly.After having breakfast with Jia's mother, and chatting for a while, a maid came in and said that Lin's mansion had two daughters-in-law.Jia Mu thought that she was here to pick up Lin Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e, so she said please come in.

Suddenly two neat young daughter-in-laws came in. Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu saw them, and they both smiled and said hello, and said, "Why are you here? The house is so busy these days, how could sister Xian be without you?"

Wu Liang's family said: "There are only so many things left at home. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later, but the girls can't be sloppy here. Grandma Yuan is going to pick up the girls in person, but Grandma Xu posted a post yesterday. , Grandma can't leave."

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't bear it, because she said: "It's so easy to see you, and I can't bear to bear it any more. You go back and tell your daughter-in-law, just tell me what I said, and Miss Lin and Miss Zhang will accompany me a few more times." Day, when the time comes, ask her Lian's second sister-in-law to send her back."

It was difficult for Wu Liang’s family and Zhong Liangcai’s family to say anything, so Daiyu said: “It was agreed, and I must go back today. I haven’t gone to school for three or four days, and I missed a lot of homework. to say."

These few days in Jia's mansion, he talked and walked carefully, and when he saw Wu Liang's family and Zhong Liangcai's family, Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e were overjoyed, and put everything else aside, thinking about family go.

Hearing this, Jia's mother was a little displeased. After all, she was not raised by her. She didn't kiss her, and her heart sank a little, so she smiled and said: "It can be seen that you don't kiss me anymore."

Only then did Daiyu realize that there was some inappropriateness in her words, her face flushed with anxiety, and her eyes were filled with tears. Seeing this, Wu Liang's family hurriedly said: "Why don't you kiss the old lady? In those years, I have been talking about the old lady since I got on the boat. I can't see you. Two days ago, we said we would come over, and we seemed to be overjoyed. Because of this, our old lady drank a big pot of vinegar. Because that day came, our old lady was not safe, and the girl was the most If you are filial, I am afraid that there is something in your heart."

Knowing that it is a kind word, it is decent in the end, Jia Mu said: "You don't need to say it, I also know that her mother has always been filial, I, Yu'er, follow her mother."

Now that their brothers and sisters are filial piety, there are two things going on in a row. The first is Lin Jue Chunwei, the second is Lin Jue and Lu Huixian's consummation of the house, and several close relatives want to see each other. What is the reason to live in other people's homes for a long time?Mother Jia stroked Daiyu for a long time before letting her sisters go back.

When they came back, they went to the old lady's house to say hello.

The old lady was chanting scriptures in the Buddhist hall, Muyu opened the curtain to invite the two to come in, poured tea from the rosary, and said, "The old lady will finish in a while, the two girls wait a little bit."

"It doesn't matter." The two sat down, knowing that the old lady was only served by the two of them, and said: "You go and do it yourself. This is at home. Are you afraid that we will wrong our own size?"

Hongkao Liuli also said: "There are still us."

Muyu agreed and went to the Buddhist hall, and the rosary came over with several plates of candied fruit, and said: "It's just around the corner, and the old lady doesn't like many people when she recites the scriptures. I'm afraid that if we both go, the old lady will hate us." If I disturb the Bodhisattva, I will talk to the girls here, there is a wooden fish inside."

Just as she was talking, the old lady helped Muyu's hand out. Lin Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e hurriedly got up to meet Muyu, taking Muyu's place one by one.

Zhang Feng'e said angrily: "The old lady is getting better? Although her health has improved in the past two years, she should take care of herself and rest more on weekdays. Why do you go to the Buddhist hall again?"

Daiyu also smiled and said: "The Buddha is merciful, the old lady is sincere, and the incense is never cut off on weekdays. If I miss homework once or twice, I think the Bodhisattva will not blame me."

The old lady had a smile on her face when she saw the two sisters.Hearing this, he said with a smile, "I'm not made of mud, but if I read a scroll of scriptures, how can I be tired?" Seeing that the two of them were wearing the clothes they went out, they asked again, "But you just came back?"

Both of them agreed yes, and the old lady said: "Grandma Xu brought my brother here, because I was impatient to meet guests, so I went to your sister-in-law's side, you can go too."

After all, she is a visitor, and she is Lu Huixian's eldest sister, so she naturally wants to meet her.The two of them were afraid that the old lady would be lonely here, so they refused to leave, and asked some questions about food next to each other.The old lady was pleased and funny, so she kicked them out, and the two resigned from the old lady, and went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Zhang Feng'e still lives with the old lady, while Lin Daiyu has another yard.After Zhang Feng'e changed her clothes, she took Liuli to Lin Daiyu's place first, and the two went to Lu Huixian's room together.

When Fang entered the yard, he saw a lot of women and girls sitting around the door, Haitang was about to open the curtain to come out, when he saw a group of people coming in front of the door, when he took a closer look, it was Daiyu and Zhang Feng'e, who hurriedly turned to the house Li said: "The girls are here." After that, he put down the curtain and went up to meet him, "I just came and said that I went to the old lady's place. I only came here because I wanted to accompany the old lady for lunch. I was going to ask. Came without thinking."

Zhang Feng'e then asked: "It is said that there is a distinguished guest at home?"

Haitang said: "It's Grandma Xu. Grandma Yuan said that she picked up the girls today, and she will go over to pay Mrs. Xu two days later, but Grandma Xu can't wait, so she brought her brother over first."

A group of people said and entered the house.Lin Daiyu saw a woman who looked a little like Lu Huixian coming forward with a smile on her face, so she knew it was Grandma Xu.Daiyu and Lu Huixian were very close, and she often heard Lu Huixian mention it on weekdays. Knowing that their sisters had a good relationship, she followed Lu Huixian and hurriedly called her sister.

Grandma Xu was really happy, and when she heard Zhang Feng'e calling Grandma, she knew that she was concerned about her identity, so she took her hand and said angrily, "It can be seen that there is a difference between closeness and estrangement." She pointed to Lu Huixian and said, "Why do you call her?" Elder sister, don’t call me elder sister, so we are not raised by the same mother?” Zhang Feng’e blushed and kept apologizing, and called elder sister a few more times before Grandma Xu gave up.

The girl brought up two ebony boxes inlaid with silver, and Grandma Xu said, "Save a few small things for the girl." It was even more precious than the formal grandmother and aunt meeting gifts of Jia Mu and Mrs. Xing Wang. some.

The two smiled and saluted to express their thanks, and said, "I miss the good stuff from Big Sister." Seeing that the two were rude, Grandma Xu became more and more happy, and said, "What good stuff? I'm afraid you don't like it." She then called the grandma. Nanny hugged Xu Jing and came over to kowtow to the two.

Xu Jing was only three or four years old, dressed in sapphire blue clothes, with a gold collar, a name lock and a safety talisman on his neck.His grandma made a bow with support, and called his aunt.

Jia Lan is also the same age, and because she is a posthumous child, she is not liked by Mrs. Jia Mu Wang.Li Wan was a widow and looked haggard, but that child was also very mature, not as naughty and loving as Xu Jing.

Zhang Feng'e and Lin Daiyu were so happy that they stopped him quickly, played with him on the couch, and coaxed him to call someone with some fruit and snacks.Xu Jing didn't care about anything, he just yelled when he asked someone to call him, and he was not confused, he had to get something before he was willing to speak again, which aroused everyone's liking.

After calling her aunt about ten times in a row, Lu Huixian persuaded her: "He is a little older, but he can't eat any more, so you should stop for a while." The two of them saw that four or five out of ten of the plate of snacks had gone, Suddenly feel ashamed, blushing hard to speak.

Lu Huishan then said: "He's weird, not because he wants anything from anyone, but because he likes you so he's willing to eat what you give him. He also eats a lot every day, and he's mischievous. Don't look at him eating too much now, when it's time to eat, he still has to eat half a bowl of rice."

Before he could say a word, Xu Jing over there clamored to stay, but his nanny couldn't stop him, so he had to hug him to the ground.As soon as his feet touched the ground, Xu Jing raised his feet and ran towards the Duobao Pavilion. Although the nurse was on guard, she still told him to run away, shouting in panic.

Zhang Feng'e and Daiyu were watching him from the sidelines. Seeing this, they were terrified. The two threw the rules they had learned on weekdays into Java, and hurriedly chased after him with the nanny. One shouted "" Brother Jing, watch your step", and one shouted "Brother Jing, slow down, you may have fallen".For a moment, except for the Lu sisters who were sitting and gossiping, the rest of the people in the room circled around Xu Jing.

I could only hear a burst of noise in the room, all saying "you can't take this one" and "you can't eat that one". give up.A group of people waited and couldn't say anything, scolded or scolded, beat them even more, blocked one but couldn't stop that, covered one thing and exposed another, and made a mess of people turning their backs on their backs, and the whole room turned out to be head to tail. no.

Lu Huixian didn't feel noisy when she saw it, she was just happy, and chatted with her sister: "Brother Jing is doing the same at home?"

Lu Huishan glanced at her, and said: "With our old lady at home and you guys here, who can care about him, isn't it the same?"

Lu Huixian smiled and said, "That's fine too. Those who can eat, sleep, run and dance are blessed."

Seeing that she liked her, Lu Huishan wanted to say: "You will have one next year." She was about to say this, but knowing that her younger sister was thin-skinned, she was afraid she would be annoyed, so she quickly swallowed it back and said: "All relatives in the family do not love him. Because of this, our old ladies and wives are afraid that he will be wronged. I am afraid that others will not be able to bear such a big blessing, so I and his father will love him less on weekdays. For this reason, our old ladies and wives He also gave us a good meal, and our biological parents have become stepfathers and stepmothers."

"This is also the heart of an old man." This is the heart of a mother. If you feel too much pain, you are afraid of enjoying too much. If you don't grow up, you will feel less pain, and you are afraid that he will be wronged. Brother Jing is a blessed one, you can stop worrying about it."
