The widowed mother of the red mansion

33. Chapter three and three

The noble concubine in the palace heard that Jia's mother wanted to go to Qingxu Temple to make a sacrifice, so she sent eunuch Xia to give silver and the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony.Because Baochai also had a share, it was difficult for her to continue living with Aunt Xue, so she reluctantly moved back to the garden to receive the gift.

After Baoyu saw the ceremony gift from Concubine Jia, she realized that her portion was the same as Baochai's, but Daiyu's was less.When I arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, it happened that Shi Xiangyun went to Jiamu's place, so there was less trouble.

Daiyu had heard people talk about the difference a long time ago, so she was not annoyed, and asked, "Why are you here so stupidly?"

Baoyu said with a smile: "I laugh at the concubine and sister for being confused and mistaken the number. Take a look at these few things, and keep what you like."

Daiyu smiled and said, "I have it here, you can keep it yourself."

Baoyu gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't want it, it must not be a good thing." After that, he told Qingwen, "Take it to the sisters. If they like it, they will give it. No one wants to find a box and plunder it in."

Qingwen said with a smile: "We have so many things that the box is not enough to hold them. Where is there a place to put this. In my opinion, it's better to reward the boy."

Daiyu scolded: "The foolish things are rewarded by the empress, how can you give them to others casually?"

Baoyu said: "It's not so particular. I don't like to throw away the things that my sisters and others rewarded me. I can't remember what I rewarded others. At this time, I'm talking about virtual etiquette."

Daiyu said: "You don't have to put on a show for me, I didn't think about it."

Baoyu laughed and said, "If that's the case, that's all. The old lady will take us for a stroll tomorrow. Go to bed early, so as not to get up early and get dizzy again." After saying that, he left.Qingwen winked at Daiyu with a smile, and hurriedly followed her.

After Baoyu left, Daiyu looked at his back in a daze, and Zijuan gave a chuckle.

Daiyu came back to her senses, and spat with a smile, "Why are you laughing so hard?"

Zijuan said, "I'm not laughing at anything."

When Jia Mu saw Concubine Jia's ceremony, she became more and more excited, and asked Sister Feng to invite Baochai, Daiyu, Baoyu and others to the theater.Baochai smiled at Sister Feng and said, "You've always been a smart person, why don't you come and ask me to do something? It's so hot, what kind of play is so rare that you have to go to Taoism to watch it, and it's not easy for me to come forward."

Sister Feng said: "I know you are afraid of the heat, but it's rare for the old ancestors to say something, asking me to invite you young ancestors again and again. Besides, it's one case if the wife doesn't go, and it's not good to go against her for the rest, so you go there I can't run away from the eagle." And said: "Even my aunt and old lady have promised to invite me."

Seeing this, Baochai had no choice but to agree.

When it came to the first day of the new year, the front of the Rongguo Mansion was full of flowers and vehicles. In each house, the masters and maids, nurses, rough envoys, and family wives stood all over the street.

Baochai and Daiyu shared a car, and Baochai raised the curtain slightly to look outside, then smiled at Daiyu and said, "It's rare for us to go out once, the battle looks really scary."

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's not the case with us." After she finished speaking, she glanced at the red musk string on her wrist that lifted the curtain, and then turned away.

When she arrived at Qingxu Guankou, Jia Zhen hurriedly brought her nephews to greet her.It happened that there was a little Taoist who was stealing wax flowers and was caught by Sister Feng. She was so frightened that she had to order Haosheng to take it out.

After Jia's mother and all the female relatives went in, Jia Zhen ordered those who were not needed to be sent out, and the remaining young children stood guard at the second floor door and the corner door, waiting to be ordered to deliver things, watching to prevent idlers from entering.

After settling down, when Jia Zhen was about to withdraw to go in, Taoist Zhang came to greet him and said with a smile, "I should serve in it logically. Today is no different than before. Please show me."

Jia Zhen knew that he was the substitute of Rong Guogong, and that he was called an immortal by the late emperor himself. He was different from others, so she took him in together.

After returning to Jiamu, Taoist Zhang came to pay his respects.Jia's mother always liked his humorous words, and the two of them said some homely things. The Taoist said suddenly: "I saw a young lady in a house a while ago. She is 15 years old this year. She looks good. My brother The age has also come, and the young lady is worthy enough, not to mention the basic wealth, I don’t know what the old lady thinks? I don’t dare to make mistakes, and I dare not talk about it until I ask the old lady to show me.”

Li Wan listened to this, and suddenly understood most of it in his heart.That Daiyu's complexion was a little pale, and she almost couldn't stand upright, Li Wan couldn't help feeling anxious and sweating.

Jia's mother remained calm and said with a smile: "Last time a monk said that this child should not be married early, let's talk about it when he is older. It has nothing to do with the basic property, as long as it looks good, just tell me. Even if you are poor, it is just a matter of helping a few taels of silver."

After hearing Jia Mu's words, Li Wan just felt relieved, and turned to admiration.Thanks to Jiamu, if you say monk in front of Taoist priests, isn't that obviously slapping him in the mouth!

What's more, the sentence about basic property has nothing to do with it, but it hit Baochai in the face.Mother Jia's last seemingly casual words contained a strong attitude - Baoyu's marriage still needs to be done by me, and no one can arrange it all by herself.

Baochai lowered her head for a while and refused to lift it up, and Daiyu also looked a little strange.The Taoist priest invited Baoyu's jade out to show his Taoist friends and disciples and grandchildren, and when he came back, he brought a plate full of gold and jade.

"After seeing my brother's jade, they have nothing to show for it, so they can only send some gold and jade things to congratulate."

Mother Jia looked at it, and the plate was indeed either gold or jade, which looked quite colorful.After being humbled a few times, he was ordered to accept it.

Mother Jia took everyone upstairs to watch the play, and after ordering and looking at the play list for a while, she suddenly smiled and said to the little maid: "Bring me that plate of baubles just now."

The little maid hurriedly brought it up, and everyone gathered around Jia Mu to watch it, and they were all amazed.Aunt Xue picked up a gold-encrusted jade safety lock and said with a smile: "Sure enough, jade looks good when paired with gold."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "In my opinion, jade is a very handsome thing. It's better if it's clean. It's vulgar if it's inlaid with gold." It’s because I saw that any child in the family also brought one.”

Baochai was troubled in her heart, and when she saw such a sudden question, she hurriedly answered, "It's Sister Shi." After she said the words, she couldn't help but feel very remorseful, knowing that she had fallen for Jiamu's trap.

As expected, Mother Jia nodded and said, "So it's Yun'er, she also has this thing."

Baoyu laughed and said: "My sisters almost have this kind of gold and silver things. I didn't pay attention to it, but Sister Bao is careful." What are these things, the most important thing to pay attention to."

Baochai turned around and talked with Aunt Xue about opera, but she never heard it.

After all the opera festivals and funerals havetily dispersed and returned home, everyone had different thoughts.After Mrs. Wang heard what happened in Guanzhong, she was silent for a long time, and sneered at Sister Feng, "You are useless. You usually talk about it. How come you can't think of anything at a critical moment?"

Sister Feng said with a smile: "At that time, I really couldn't say a word. The old lady said everything to death. I really couldn't say anything. I thought that if I tried to be brave and interrupted randomly, the old lady would be upset. I'm happy, it's a waste of my wife's usual filial thoughts, she only says I'm not good, and my wife doesn't care about discipline."

What Sister Feng said was half true and half false.Although she wholeheartedly helps Mrs. Wang, she has her own ideas on who should be Bao's Second Mistress.If Baochai were to marry in the future, the two would be closer than she and Mrs. Wang, and she would be a virtuous and famous person, how could she be a housekeeper?

Recently, it is only because Jia's mother pays more attention to Li Wan and divides a lot of affairs in the garden that she is slightly chilled.After thinking about it carefully, she had to hold back her breath, and she would never talk too much where she should not be forced to stand out. When Daiyu really became Mrs. Wang's wife, would she still worry that Mrs. Wang would not rely on her?After making up her mind, Sister Feng decided to pretend to be a fool.

Mrs. Wang couldn't help it, so she had to call Baochai to promise comfort in every possible way. Baochai was annoyed in her heart, but she could only perfunctory her face. After returning to Hengwuyuan, she said she was sick and refused to come out.Baoyu knew that it was because of the Qingxu concept, so he didn't go to see her, but just talked, laughed and played with Daiyu every day.

After Xiren heard about it, he thought of a way to go to Hengwuyuan to see Baochai.Seeing her coming, Ying'er hurried inside to invite her.After Xiren entered the room, he found that the room was very clean. He smiled and said to Baochai who was pointing on the bed: "Although the girl's room is nice, it is too bright inside. It is not as lively as a boy's room in Baoyu."

Baochai also laughed and said, "Sit down, please. What brought you here?"

Attacker said: "I heard that the girl is not happy, so I came to have a look." Baochai thought she was called by Baoyu, but later it seemed that this was not the case, so she was a little boring and said with a smile, "You still miss me."

Xiren smiled and said: "It's not just me, the master in Yihong Courtyard misses him very much. Several times he thought about coming over, but was stopped by Miss Lin, who acted a little bit like coming over, and that man felt uncomfortable. "

Baochai sighed and said, "Why is this so? Who doesn't know that they are really good friends, so on guard, they lost each other's hearts."

Ying'er brought a small stool, Xiren went to sit down in front of Baochai's bed, praised Baochai's needles, and said inadvertently: "It's just a child's mind to be the best. I didn't say that, ours The master is not sensible yet, how can he know that he is a virtuous, foolish and kind person. Miss Lin grew up with him, and she came earlier, and any sister in the family who got closer to Baoyu would make a huge disturbance, which angered the old lady and Baoyu. My wife doesn't like it."

Baochai smiled bitterly: "She is the granddaughter of the old lady's direct relative. Is there any reason not to like her?"

Xiren approached and said in a low voice: "There is a saying that I only say to the girl, and the girl should not let it out. I used to serve in front of the old lady, and the old lady missed her every day, but there is still a saying" that girl Probably follow her mother, she was born weak, not a sign of great fortune. In the future, she must be married to a person with poor fortune, otherwise I am really sorry for her. Listen to this, do you really like Miss Lin? But It's just for the sake of the former lady in the mansion that it hurts more, no matter how good my granddaughter is, she can't be a granddaughter-in-law."

Baochai's mind became active a little: "I'm afraid the old lady won't say such a thing."

Xiren said with a smile, "good girl, go and find out. Am I the liar? It didn't mean that the old lady gave me to Baoyu, but she was fooled by Miss Lin for a while, so she called Baoyu and me." Let’s split up. Now it seems that no matter how good the plan is, it’s no match for the trouble that came out halfway.”

The author has something to say: There is one thing I must apologize to everyone! (bow)~

Last time I had a big BUG, ​​and I went to the Tiekan Temple to pray——

Jia Mu's funeral is a very brilliant move by her to break the public opinion of the golden and jade marriage. It can be called a classic plot of Zhaidou.Big oolong!This behavior is like going to McDonald's and ordering the Colonel's chicken nuggets!
