[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Mother Jia also got used to Mrs. Xing's way of speaking, and immediately said: "Second girl is very right. You are obviously not a few years older than Feng girl, but you are dressed like the second daughter-in-law. You don't look like Zhu's daughter-in-law. People who are old seem to be older than Zhen's daughter-in-law in Dongfu."

Madam Xing's face also turned red.

That's right, Mrs. Xing's dowry is passable outside, but it's not enough for a luxurious family like the Jia family who likes ostentation.Moreover, in the past, because of inferiority complex, Madam Xing was dissatisfied with Madam Wang on the surface, but she was imitating Madam Wang in private, especially in her dress, she was almost always compared to Madam Wang, but she forgot that she was only married five or six years ago. In 50, the color is just right. How can you not be old-fashioned after learning how to dress like Mrs. Wang who is almost [-] years old?

It can be said that Mrs. Xing's reluctance to Jia Amnesty has a lot to do with her demeanor and behavior.

Similarly, Mrs. Jia also despised such Mrs. Xing.

Mother Jia came here when Jia's family was at its most prosperous, so she couldn't understand Mrs. Xing's petty demeanor, and Mother Jia wanted to suppress Jia Amnesty, so how could she give advice to Mrs. Xing?

It can be said that Mrs. Xing's humbleness in Jia's family is related to her background, her lack of biological children, and it is inseparable from Jia's mother and the environment of Jia's family.

After all these years of marrying into Jia's family, it turned out that this time she got the favor of her cheap daughter Jia Yan, so she got two good clothes, and was reprimanded by Jia's mother in a different way.

In Jia's house, there was no one else except Mrs. Xing.

When Jia's mother said Mrs. Xing, Jia Yan, Lin Daiyu, Xichun You and the third sister stood up, and when Jia's mother finished speaking, Jia Yan lowered his hands and smiled: "Look at what the old lady said, our family was too short-lived in the past. So much, so even my mother can only use Lao Ku’s ready-made clothing materials. Now that the family’s deficit has been repaid, the good days in the future are coming.”

Jia Mu said: "Have you paid back the deficit at home?"

Before Jia Yan could answer, Mrs. Wang interjected, "Why, when you arrested the Lai family, Zhou family and so many servants below, you didn't pay back all the deficit?"

Jia Yan replied: "Yes. When I was in the palace in the old days, Wansui said personally that our mansion owed 80 taels of silver. We only got 63 taels of silver from those slaves who were greedy for ink." As he spoke, he paused, and said: "When I heard these two data, I felt very uncomfortable. Although I also hoped to fill the gap with the furniture of these slaves, if only we Jia These slaves in my family have more than 80 pieces of furniture, what will the boss think about our family? We are the family of military generals! But hearing that there is still a deficit of 17 taels of silver that has not been repaid, I feel uncomfortable in my heart. After all , I have known for a long time that it is not easy at home. Even if my father encounters good things in Liulichang, it will take a long time for him to be heartbroken. Just buy it. Now all the shortfall has been repaid, and there is no foreign debt. In a few years, the family will be able to restore a little or two of what it looked like when my grandfather was there. Thinking of this, my granddaughter is full of joy."

Hearing Jia Yan mention what happened when Jia Daishan was alive, Jia's mother also sighed slightly.

No, the time when her husband was here was the most beautiful time for the Jia family.It's a pity that her two sons are not lucky, and they can only be planned behind the scenes by an old woman like her.

But the grandchildren here have their own blessings.She planned for half her life, and spent a lot of effort to educate Jia Yuanchun, but after she was sent to the palace, she turned out to be only a female historian.

On the contrary, it was the second granddaughter who got into the eyes of the superior without making a sound, and got up with her father and brother.

It's just that this granddaughter also misses her father too much, and if she gets any benefits, she must first hand them over to her father.Although this granddaughter is acting according to the rules, as a grandmother, seeing one son slowly getting up and the other still thumping in place, even knowing that she is partial, she still can't help but help the other.

This is also impossible.

Who makes people's hearts inherently biased?

Thinking about it this way, Mother Jia doesn't talk about Jia Amnesty taking Jia Rong, Jia Qiang, Jia Chang and Jia Ling any more.

As long as Jia Amnesty is willing to let Jia Zheng sign it in the future, Mother Jia doesn't care about how things are done here.

Mother Jia left everything here, and of course Mrs. Wang couldn't talk more.

Instead, it was Shi Xiangyun. When Jia's mother was taking a nap, she brought Tanchun and Xue Baochai to Jia Yan's side, and as soon as she entered the door, she said, "Second sister, you are really too. If it weren't for me, the old lady I don't even know what the old man is busy with outside!"

Jia Yan let these sisters and sisters to the flower hall with a smile, and said: "You! How can us girls know about this kind of thing? If it weren't for the fact that my father wanted to use the servants I am used to, I would Won't let me know. You didn't see it, and even our wife didn't know."

Only then did Shi Xiangyun laugh: "That's not what I said. By the way, Second Sister, I brought you something."

"Oh? What good stuff?"

I saw Shi Xiangyun took out a small cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his purse, opened it, and found five crimson pattern stone rings.

Just listen to Shi Xiangyun said: "Five rings, one for the second sister, one for the Lin sister, one for the Bao sister, one for the third sister, and one for the fourth sister."

Jia Yan then knew that this was the crimson stone ring that Shi Xiangyun obtained outside in the original book, which later caused a lot of trouble.

In the original book, after Shi Xiangyun got it for the first time, he distributed it to the sisters; after the second time, he distributed it to four maids: Yuanyang, Ping'er, and Xiren, and the other one was given to the eldest girl beside Mrs. Wang.

It was the four rings given for the second time that gave her a reputation of being overbearing: she was given to Mrs. Wang's girl, but not to Mrs. Xing's girl; she was given to Wang Xifeng's girl, but not to Li Wan's girl. .

And the evaluation of the silly elder sister: After Lin Daiyu and other sisters took it, they cherished her friendship so they kept the ring well, but Xue Baochai didn't treat the ring as a serious matter at all and gave it to Xiren. I remember that the sisters respected Xue Baochai as a treasure.

However, now that Shi Xiangyun has not done these things, of course Jia Yan is not good at criticizing her, so he just thanked her cautiously and put away the ring.

When they were young, Lin Daiyu and Xichun, who got rings again, both redressed and came to thank Shi Xiangyun.

After the sisters sat down at the big round table in the flower hall, Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister, I heard that the deficit in this mansion has been repaid. How did you repay it? Do you know?"

Jia Yanqi said: "It's very good, why are you asking this?"

Shi Xiangyun said: "Second sister, don't ask. When the old lady was at home, our family was the same, but now our family is actually the same! It is said that it is also related to this shortfall. In order to repay this shortfall, our family almost It can be said that they are saving food and clothing. Where is it like this mansion, there is no movement at all, and it is said that the deficit has been repaid! How can people not be curious?"

As he spoke, he asked mysteriously, "Is it related to that wine?"

Jia Yan smiled and said, "How do you know?"

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "I went back to Nan'an Prince's Mansion and heard what they said. The little princess in the Prince's Mansion also said that this mansion is so poor that even the Grand Master Xijue wants to sell wine!"

Jia Yan said with a smile: "If you don't mess with this, how can there be a deficit? What's more, the deficit is not directly related to my brother's future. If it wasn't for the prescription of wine in the old year, maybe our family would have to learn from yours. It’s just as tight.”

Xue Baochai said: "My lord is really lucky!"

Jia Yan said: "What good luck is there? It's just that this matter has been on my father's heart for many years, so whenever I got an opportunity, my father took it."

Shi Xiangyun also clapped his hands and laughed: "That's not it. It's hard for the old man here. By the way, since this mansion also produces wine, this time, on Sister Lin's birthday, the second sister will sell the wine."

Jia Yan said: "Ah, this is embarrassing for me. After all, a girl who smells of alcohol makes people laugh. I don't have wine here, but I still have grape juice and apple juice. Sister Yun, do you want to try it? "

Grape juice and apple juice?

Shi Xiangyun had never heard of it, so he asked something.

Jia Yan said: "It's just made from fruit juice as wine. It's sweet and sour, without the smell of alcohol at all. It's just easier to store than freshly squeezed juice, and it has a little more flavor. Sister Yun knows it when she tastes it. "

Shi Xiangyun became more and more happy when he said it, and he must take it out and taste it.

Shi Xiangyun was young and didn't know about wine making, but Xue Baochai knew a little.

Before Jia She started selling wine, the wines in the Central Plains were all imported from the West, so the price was extremely high.Since this recipe was obtained by Jia She from outside, but since it is the first time to brew it, there may be a lot of spoilage inside.

Therefore, the grape juice Jia Yan mentioned should be the better ones picked out of the spoiled wine, and after other treatments, it was used as juice for the girls in the inner house to drink.

Instead, this stuffed apple juice should be Jia's unique recipe.

After all, some of the sherbets out there are also made from fruit.Waiting for others, who would be willing to use the method of making sherbet to make fruit juice?

This kind of time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, I think it is only Jia She who loves his daughter, and he wants to conceal the origin of the wine, so he deliberately tossed it out.

Xue Baochai didn't know, if she replaced Jia Yan with Jia Yan, it would be eight or nine points closer to the truth, even if it wasn't entirely true.

The sisters chatted and laughed for a while, Jia Yan saw that both Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai liked the stuffed apple juice, so he simply asked Shi Xiangyun and Xue Baochai to bring a bottle of stuffed grape juice and a bottle of stuffed apple juice when Tanchun returned.

No, Jia Baoyu saw it, liked it very much, and pestered Jiamu for a while, and then, Jiamu's yard had two more bottles of grape juice and two bottles of apple juice every month.
