The Second Master Lian of the Red Chamber

When Jia Mu and others returned to Beijing from Jinling, they disembarked at the Tongzhou Wharf. It happened to be the fifth birthday of Jia Hui, the only daughter of Daiyu and Jia Lian.Lin Haiqin carved a seal for his granddaughter, and Jia Min and others also took great pains to prepare a Fangchen gift for Jia Hui. The daughters-in-law of the Rong Mansion stopped and kowtowed to salute. The breeze was warm in April, and it was really lively and festive .

Hearing the word from the steward who was waiting for the news, that Mother Jia and the others had changed the sedan chairs prepared in the house, both Daiyu and Jia Min couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, and ordered people to go to the streets outside the city to pick them up, and then they all fell silent for a moment.Jia Mu took Mrs. Xing and the second wife away for six years. Although they still had estrangements in their hearts about some people and certain things, their longing for Jia Mu prevailed. Otherwise, Daiyu would not have discussed with Jia Lian again. I sent a letter, imploring Jia Mu to return to Rongfu to stay in the house after returning to Beijing.

Today's little birthday star, Jia Hui, is nestling between Jia Min and Daiyu. Seeing that her grandmother and mother both smiled and looked sad, she gently shook Daiyu's arm, and fell obediently in Jia Min's arms. Like Jia Lian's peach-blossom eyes, he said softly: "Great-grandmother and grandmother are back, and it's my birthday again. Isn't this the double happiness that Daddy said last time? When there is a happy event, we can make more candies." Pastry cakes, wouldn't it be nice for everyone to dip in the sweetness of happiness?"

When Jia Hui was born, he was different from other babies. He was born white and fat, with beautiful eyebrows and sandalwood mouth. After his facial features were developed, he also had the advantages of both Jia Lian and Daiyu. He was really a little jade carving, like Guanyinzuo Like a child, there is no one who has met who does not love her, and often receives soft hands when meeting gifts.She was only five years old, and the small warehouse in her yard was filled to the brim with presents from her elders.

But for some reason, such a person with the beauty of heaven and earth, who seems to be able to become a fairy by eating honey and drinking springs, prefers human delicacies on the plate more than poetry and books. Sheng ordered three meals a day to eat, and made the best use of his endless food.

Daiyu doesn't want her daughter to be too greedy for food, but Jia Lian loves her daughter like life, and often helps her daughter find food. Lin Hai and Jia Min are two generations apart. superior.If Lin Zhang hadn't been caught by Daiyu when he gave Jia Hui some market snacks, and Lin Zhang had eaten Lin Hai's meal, Jia Hui might not know how to restrain himself at this moment, and he would already eat it inside and outside the capital.

At such a sentimental moment of reunion after a long absence, but this little friend is still thinking about the idea of ​​cakes, Daiyu couldn't help being angry and funny, she tapped Jia Hui's forehead with her fingertips like green onions, and gritted her teeth: "Miss Zhu is like this With filial piety, how about you serve sugar cakes for me when the ancestors come back later? As long as you eat a few pieces, you can deduct them from tomorrow."

Before giving birth, Daiyu dreamed of dense bamboo forests, lush vegetation, verdant verdant plants, covered by smoke and clouds. The nickname is A Zhu, and those who are close to her call her Sister Zhu.

Jia Hui originally wanted to take advantage of the occasion when Jia's mother returned home to show her filial piety to get a few more candy cakes, but she didn't want Daiyu to say nothing, so she pouted immediately.Fortunately, both Daiyu and Jia Min were amused by her appearance, and they were no longer sad like before. Forget the bad cakes, and accompany Daiyu and the others to deal with housework with peace of mind.

Jia Mu was getting old and couldn't stand the ups and downs until Jia Lian came out of the palace after finishing her official duties, and the carriage she was riding in did not enter the city. back home.As for the second bedroom, Jia's mother personally ordered Jia Zhengwang and his wife to stay in the ancestral house before leaving, while Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun took their only son and went directly to the house that Jia Lian had allocated to them.

Needless to say, the sighs and joys of the family reunion, it is rare for a bastard like Jia She to say a few words to Mrs. Xing gently, praising her for serving Mrs. Jia's filial piety and virtuousness. Even if he hugged Jia Hui, he wouldn't let go, he laughed and wiped his tears, saying yes repeatedly.Because Jia Mu was happy, Jia Hui stayed in the upper room that night. When Jia Mu was alone, she gave the precious private house that Yuanyang had prepared for her early in the morning to the great-granddaughter. Jia Hui waved her little hand and said no.

It's rare that the wife doesn't have to go to put her daughter to sleep first, and Jia Lian didn't have a few drinks with Jia Shen at night.Stacks of official documents were left in the study room, the door was locked, and the staff members went home. He was carrying the high-quality mandarin ducks that he had worked so hard to get in his sleeves. He returned to the room with a smile on his face, and found All kinds of excuses sent out the maids and mothers-in-law.

Daiyu's face was reddish with embarrassment, she just focused on cutting the candle wick and refused to pay attention to him, but the servants in the room were all savvy, and none of them came back after obediently retreating, he was the only two in the huge bedroom. The people sat facing each other, one with piercing eyes and affection, and the other could only talk about him from left to right.

"You don't know my father, he is getting more self-willed when he gets older. Sister Zhu is only five years old, a little bit older, and usually has no growth at all except eating, but he took the name of Bi Xulang for a while. Use this number to engrave a chapter for her, and she won't be able to read a few words in the book tomorrow, so what is Fuyun and Tanluan, you just get used to her."

Jia Lian looked at her with fever behind her ears, and Daiyu couldn't think of anything to say for a while, so she had to talk about the little things about her daughter's birthday today, and in the end, she couldn't help but slap her lips, not knowing whether she was guilty or dissatisfied.

No matter what Daiyu said, Jia Lian just listened with a smile on his face, and when Daiyu looked over angrily, he gently held his wife's hand: "Father-in-law is an intergenerational kiss, don't be afraid, Yuer, father-in-law and mother-in-law I love Sister Zhu, I don’t know, I love you the most, and no one can get over it. I’ll ask someone to find Hao Yulai tomorrow, and you can do whatever you want.”

As Jia Lian spoke, he held Daiyu's hand and rubbed it a few times, making Daiyu's white jade-like neck tinged with pink. He lowered his voice and reprimanded him softly, "Let go, your hand will hurt if you scratch it."

He felt that he was much older than Daiyu, and in order to maintain his health, he never let go of horseback riding and hunting after working on paperwork all these years. He often held the reins of bow and arrow in his palm, and his skin was much rougher than that of ordinary princes' children.

As soon as Daiyu said it was painful, Jia Lian let go of her hand immediately, and before Daiyu came back to her senses, she picked her up by the waist, leaned over and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I don't use hands."

Daiyu was in a hurry when she heard the words, twisted her hands and feet and talked politely, but Jia Lian was hard-hearted, and only pressed her to be gentle and pleading. After a night, it was quite interesting, and she was looking forward to Shu. time.

It's a pity that the sky didn't fulfill his wish. Before Jia Lian could rest and take a bath, Daiyu felt unwell.
