[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

At this time, Shi Xiangyun didn't deliberately offend Lin Daiyu, and naturally he didn't lose Jia Mu's love.Jia Baoyu's absence from school because of Xue Baochai, although Jia's mother's reaction was not as serious as Mrs. Wang's, her dislike for Xue Baochai was real. Jia's mother needed someone to divert Jia Baoyu's attention from Xue Baochai.

Because of Jia Mu's explanation, and because of Mrs. Wang's cooperation, the next morning, when everyone was giving Jia Mu a morning and evening meditation, they saw Shi Xiangyun sitting next to Jia Mu in a red begonia.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun opened his mouth, he said, "I haven't come for more than half a month, and the third and fourth sisters have moved away."

When Shi Xiangyun came last time, he followed the Shi family to pay New Year's greetings to Jia's mother. At that time, Xue Baochai had not yet entered Jia's mansion.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Sister Yun is still like this! How can you answer your name as Third Sister and Fourth Sister?! This is my cousin, who is as old as your second sister, and your name is Sister Bao."

Seeing Wang Xifeng pulling Xue Baochai over, Shi Xiangyun hurried over to greet Xue Baochai, calling her sister Baochai.

It has to be said that Xue Baochai's appearance and temperament easily won Shi Xiangyun's favor. After a while, Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai called each other like sisters and sisters. Seeing that Jia's mother was very shy, they had to turn around and ask Jia Yan: "Lin How is the girl?"

When Shi Xiangyun heard about it, he immediately turned his head and said, "Sister Lin is really too. I have been here for so long, but I have never greeted the old lady once. I must ask her later!"

Jia Yan immediately said: "What are you pretending to be Jing Ke and Nie Zheng here? Didn't Xiren and the others tell you that sister Lin should be filial to her mother?"

Shi Xiangyun never expected Jia Yan to block him back, and he was taken aback for a moment.

Over there, Jia Baoyu left Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun behind long ago, and said, "Second Sister, how is Sister Lin? I remember that Sister Lin's birthday is the Huachao Festival? That's only a few days away. What are you going to do about Sister Lin's birthday?" ? Do you want to ask Sister Feng for help..."

Jia Baoyu remembered that when Jia Yan celebrated his birthday last time, it was Wang Xifeng who helped Zhang Luo.At that time, Jia Yan had just been named the county monarch, and Jia's mother opened her mouth and invited relatives and friends to have fun for several days.

Jia Yan smiled and said: "Birthday, isn't it like that? It's just that sister Lin can't be lively in Xiaozhong, otherwise it won't look like it from the outside. As for other things, the wife has prepared a hundred catties of longevity noodles, and my uncle gave it to Lin. My sister's birthday gift has also arrived."

Jia Baoyu said: "Birthday is only once a year. It's deserted. I don't know how sad Sister Lin is."

"You are not Sister Lin, and you have never talked to her. How do you know if she is sad? Sister Lin has already said that there is no need for the birthday banquet in the filial piety of the mother. You just get up in the morning and use a bowl of longevity noodles. Lin My sister also said that there are birthdays every year anyway, and this time is not bad."

When Mother Jia heard about it, Fang laughed and said, "Madam Lin is sincere and courteous."

Xichun suddenly said: "Second sister is also protecting her, and the master and wife are pampering her. Otherwise, sister Lin just came to the mansion, so it must be inconvenient everywhere."

Mother Jia also laughed when she said it: "That's not the case. The second girl is a good one."

Jia Yan immediately covered her cheeks and said with a smile: "In that case, in front of the old lady, I will take back the credit of the old lady and receive the compliment from the old lady."

It caused Wang Xifeng to point at her and make fun of her: "What a second girl, you actually took credit from the old lady!"

Mrs. Xing also laughed: "I didn't do anything, the second girl is really good, she deserves the old lady's praise."

Seeing Mrs. Xing's mother and daughter, Jia Yan, and her daughter in harmony, Jia's mother became more and more satisfied.

Shi Xiangyun has always been favored by Jia's mother. When she was in front of Jia's mother two years ago, Sanchun was not as good as her. Unexpectedly, for the first time this year, he came to Jia's house alone as a guest, and he was humiliated by Jia Yan in public. He felt angry and couldn't help it. Zhu said: "Second sister's identity is different, and her temper is getting worse."

Jia Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister Yun, you are seven years old this year, maybe your aunts will take you out as a guest one day. Could it be that you are so open-mouthed outside? Or do you think that outside Like my own family, will the people let you go forever? Here, besides the fourth younger sister, you are the youngest, it doesn’t matter, it’s okay for everyone to let you go. But in the Shijia and in front of others, you also do the same? "

Shi Xiangyun's official name in Jia's family is Miss Shi, naturally because she is the oldest girl in the Shi family, and even if her two uncles have daughters, they will only be younger than her.In Jia's house, she liked to laugh and asked Jia Yan Tanchun and others to let her go. In Shi's house, she could only give up her cousin's role.

When Shi Xiangyun heard it, his eyes turned red immediately: "What's wrong with me?"

"Am I still wrong? You haven't met Sister Lin, and you don't know about Sister Lin, and you don't take the ritual of keeping filial piety seriously at all, but you put it on Sister Lin's head for no reason. A disrespectful hat. Ask yourself, are you doing it right? Or should I stop you?"

Shi Xiangyun blushed, and suddenly said: "I don't want you to worry about it."

"It's so good to think that you should be in my care."

Jia Yan and Shi Xiangyun are just distant cousins.

Mrs. Wang said: "Second girl, you are very good at bullying your sister."

Jia Yan smiled and said: "It's just helping relatives and helping out. Who made Sister Lin the aunt's daughter, the granddaughter of the old lady's direct relative? Sister Lin looks a lot like an old lady. I'm so close, I can't even love her if I love her, how can she be wronged? Besides, Sister Lin is nestling in her own room and keeping a filial piety for her aunt. Her yard is going to be buried!"

Mother Jia laughed so much: "Your mouth is really like a knife. I think there will be a few people who can stand you in the future!"

Jia Yan said: "Maybe there are still people who love my sharp mouth."

Xichun God said: "Knife mouth tofu heart."

Jia's mother leaned forward and back with a smile.

Jia Baoyu said, "Second Sister, what do you want from Humble Garden?"

Jia Yan said: "Just like what you heard, learn something about farming and mulberry, so that you won't just stand around when you attend the sericulture ceremony next time."

Xue Baochai said: "Could it be that someone tripped up the second sister during the silkworm kissing ceremony?"

Jia Yan said: "There is no stumbling block. Whether it is the Supreme Emperor or Long Live, they all pay attention to farming and mulberry. Everyone in this palace can say one, two, three, four, five about this farming and mulberry matter. Come on. Tell me, can I not be more concerned?"

Jia Yan felt that Xue Baochai was supercilious, or that Xue Baochai's thoughts had never been spent on the right path.What I think of when encountering things is not to improve myself but to shirk responsibility, or to intrigue.For such a person, it is enough to maintain face and affection, but there is no need for deep friendship.

When Xue Baochai heard this, her first reaction was that she also wanted to find a peasant woman to ask for advice, but when she turned around and saw Mrs. Wang, and seeing Mrs. Wang's face clearly, Xue Baochai became discouraged.

Her good aunt would never let her enter the palace.

Mrs. Wang is still the same, only she knows what she thinks in her heart - if she knew this, she would let her daughter learn this.I have learned so much piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I have learned so many poems and books in my stomach, which is of no use at all.Are there any beauties in the Long Live Palace? Even there are several great Confucian girls, and some of them are well-educated in poetry and books.So what if Jia Yuanchun just works harder?Is she a talent comparable to that of a girl from a scholarly family?Or is it as good as someone's slap in the face?It's better to learn this, it's simple and convenient, and it looks kind and compassionate.

At that moment, Mrs. Wang looked at Jia Yan with a knife in her eyes.

It's time to send a letter to my daughter. Such a good idea must not be monopolized by the second girl.

Jia Baoyu said: "No wonder Second Sister left that woman behind. I thought Second Sister felt sorry for her..."

"What's the pity? They also have a house and land. Although they don't have a son, they have a daughter and son-in-law to take care of them. Grandma Liu sometimes visits relatives. I heard that the sweet potato yields a thousand catties per mu and found out that I donated it, so I want to ask for it through the door. The main reason is that some sweet potatoes went back to plant.”

When Jia Yan said this, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Wang Xifeng and Xue Baochai looked much better.Although it is said that it is easy to help when they are rich, it is said that their royal family still has beggars, and they have no glory on their faces.

Wang Xifeng said hastily: "I thought Grandma Liu was here to visit relatives, but I was still wondering why I had never heard of it before. But I didn't expect that she came here for the sweet potato."

Jia Yan said with a smile: "The Diannong Order also said that the leaves, vines, and roots of this sweet potato can be eaten, and can also be used to make wine and feed livestock. It is an excellent ration for the common people, but it cannot be used to offset taxes and rent. , I am afraid that the common people will not be willing to breed."

Jia Mu said: "Amitabha. This sweet potato yields a thousand catties per mu. Although it is said that it has entered the Central Plains in the previous dynasty, there are still few people who grow it. Therefore, Grandma Liu begged you to come."

Jia Yan said with a smile: "I just respect her heart. Other people, with rich relatives like us, don't know how to spend it. On the contrary, she keeps her duty and guards her own few acres of Susukida. Live life. Don't beg for others, and strive for self-improvement."

Mother Jia nodded repeatedly, and said, "Indeed, people like Grandma Liu are worthy of respect."

Even if the inside of Jia's family has been rotten into a pot of porridge, it is still necessary to cover up the big issues and manage their own image well.

"There are fewer and fewer people like this nowadays." Mother Jia sighed.

Although because of Lai's family, Jia Mu's reputation has declined rapidly again, and the old friends who had some olive branches because of Jia Yan's relationship have shrunk back again, but this does not prevent Jia Mu from using Grandma Liu to build her own reputation. ah.

Anyway, Jia Yan has already packaged Grandma Liu as an old woman who keeps her duty and strives for self-improvement, and Jia's mother is just using excuses to brush her face.

As for Mrs. Wang, Wang Xifeng would not be unwilling.Especially Mrs. Wang, after Zhou Rui and Lai's family were imprisoned, her reputation suffered the most. Grandma Liu is a relative of the Wang family. Doesn't she have the backbone and keep her duty to help her and the Wang family?

The banquet for Grandma Liu was settled in this way.
