Drunk in the Red Chamber Lying on Beauty's Lap

Jia's mother did not express her opinion in public. After lunch, she left Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng behind.

Yuanyang came up with a good ginseng tea, and Jia Mu took it and was about to take a sip to calm her mind.Unexpectedly, with a slight shake of the hand, there was a crisp sound of "bang", and the teacup in Jia Mu's hand had already fallen to the ground.

Both Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng were startled, they hurriedly stood up, Mrs. Wang said: "Old lady..."

Mother Jia waved her hand and told the maids to pick up the pieces.She sighed and said, "When people are old, they are useless."

Sister Feng hurriedly said: "Old Ancestor, you are the Dinghai Shenzhen Acupuncture in your family. If you say such things, people will feel that they have no idea."

Sister Feng's coquettish words made Jia's mother feel better.She glanced at Mrs. Wang, and felt that this daughter-in-law seemed to have aged ten years in a short period of time.

Why not herself?I really love my child for more than ten years, but I have to live alone all my life. Just thinking about it makes my heart ache so badly.

It's just that Baoyu is right, Rongguo Mansion is not as powerful as before.Jia Amnesty has a title but no official position, and Jia Zheng has been a fifth-rank official for decades, so it is of no use.

If there is no one to be the backer of the mansion, the Rongguo Mansion may be removed from the family in the capital.

Brother Lang is still young, and Baoyu is the only thing he can count on.

With his marriage to the princess, he might not be able to really become a relative with the royal family.However, Baoyu's life was sacrificed for his family.

Mother Jia rubbed her sore forehead and sighed: "The children and grandchildren are unworthy, and the family business is withered. Back then, Yuanchun was sent to that shameful place. Now it's Baoyu's turn. Think about the glory when the Duke was there. , It’s really like a world away.”

Having said that, Mother Jia didn't say anything more.Going on, the mothers are afraid that they are going to hug their heads and cry.

She slowed down her tone and said to Mrs. Wang: "I know you are having a hard time, but we should be considerate of Baoyu's filial piety. Brother Lan is a sensible person, and after careful training, it may not be impossible for him to succeed."

After saying these words, Jia's mother couldn't bear it any longer, and she rested on the couch.

When Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng saw this, they asked Yuanyang and Amber to look after them, and then they went out of the gate.

Mrs. Wang was unsteady, and Sister Feng sent her back to Rongxi Hall, and then returned to her small courtyard.

Ping'er came out to greet him, and said: "The second master said he was going to travel far away, but now he doesn't go when he comes back. It's really strange."

After Sister Feng washed and washed, she told her about what happened in Jia's mother's room.Ping'er was dumbfounded, "Baoyu really said that? That's really... a pity."

Ping'er didn't have the nerve to say anything else.

In fact, among the unmarried girls in the garden, who doesn't miss Second Master Bao?

Not to mention his handsome appearance, he speaks in a gentle manner, and he is a frequent visitor to the Beijing Palace, so he is deeply loved by old ladies and wives.

The most important thing is that Second Master Bao treats the girls politely, who wouldn't be secretly moved when he sees them?

After learning that Baoyu was engaged to the princess, I don't know how many people cried secretly.

Now that the princess died of illness, I don't know how many people were secretly happy, thinking that they could climb up the branch and become a phoenix.

Unexpectedly, Second Master Bao would make such a decision for the sake of Rongguo Mansion, what a pity!

"Isn't it?" Sister Feng wiped the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief in her hand, "But what else can I do otherwise? The old lady is right, children and grandchildren are unworthy.

Take a look at our entire mansion, let alone Second Master Lian, he can't lift his legs when he sees a woman.The elder master is obsessed with his antiques all day long, and the second master raises a group of clean customers.They are all things that cost money, but Yu's family business is useless at all.I relied on the concubine before, and now I have to rely on Baoyu. I really don't know who else I can rely on in the future? "

Ping'er thought for a while and said: "Didn't the old lady say that Brother Lang is promising? Maybe he can really be a pillar. If Baoyu really keeps the festival for the princess, then the second room can only rely on Brother Lang. He It’s Uncle Zhu’s only seedling again, so it’s hard to say that it can really be ranked first or second.”

Sister Feng thinks about it too. In the past, when the elder brother in the mansion went to school, who didn't fish for three days and hang the net for two days?Only Lange, who didn't talk about going to school every day, would study hard in his room when he came back.Thinking of this, Sister Feng said: "Ping'er, send a good set of the Four Treasures of the Study to the eldest wife's room tomorrow. Brother Lang may really be the future support of the family."

The master and servant were talking when Jia Lian came in from the outside.

Some time ago, he was greedy for novelty and was tired of living in Qiutong's house all day long.In the past few days, I have discovered the benefits of Sister Feng and Ping'er again. Whenever I come back from the outside, I will always go into the main house and have a good time with Sister Feng.

Ping'er helped Jia Lian take off the cloak outside. Jia Lian stretched out his arms and said, "Originally, everything was prepared according to the master's instructions. Today, the old lady will not have to go out after a few words. The old lady is the biggest in this house." .”

Sister Feng said: "Don't say that the old lady is the most senior person in the family, even if she is not, we have to listen to her because of her status as a first-rank imperial order."

Jia Lian sighed heavily, who said it wasn't?If it weren't for Jia's mother's strength, would Jia Amnesty, who attacked the noble, be in a corner?

But these things are not his to worry about.

Jia Lian took a sip of the tea brought by Ping'er, and said, "What's the matter? Does the old lady agree with Baoyu's idea?"

Sister Feng snorted and said: "Is it okay to disagree? Is there anyone in our family who can stand up for the door? It turned out that it was because of the empress dowager's face. Now that the empress dowager cannot protect herself, naturally someone else has to take the lead."

No matter what Jia Lian heard, he felt that there was something in Sister Feng's words. He frowned and said, "Why is there no family in the mansion? The eldest master is the title of a first-class general, and the second master is a fifth-rank official. I donated it too." You know. These days, the elder is helping me with my activities, and maybe he will be able to make up for my lack at some point."

Sister Feng sneered and said, "The old man has been active for many years, but nothing has happened. But if this time Baoyu's matter is successful, maybe our family can follow suit."

Jia Lian couldn't see Sister Feng's contempt for others the most. He put the cup on the table and said, "Baoyu is just a nominal consort in the name of the princess. What else can we do? Can our family benefit from his glory?"

Sister Feng pondered for a moment, then sighed, "You are wrong about this. Princess Chaoyang died unmarried, where do you think she will be buried? Baoyu wrote a letter to observe the festival for the princess, which is a full face for the royal family. Maybe in the future The emperor will give him some other compensation."
