Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

What Grandma Liu said was very logical, even Daiyu couldn't help but nodded secretly when she heard it, seeing her talking and doing things, but she was not an ordinary person, thinking about it, she was really like what the fourth sister said, she was a family member. the poor.

As the master, Li Wan couldn't keep them talking outside the house, so he said,

"Please come in and talk!" asked grandma while walking,

"I don't know if grandma can use breakfast?"

Grandma replied, "I've used it, Miss Ping'er has already prepared it for me, why wait until this time."

Grandma watched the people coming and going inside, and knew that she might not come at the right time, so she said,

"Grandma, just do it first if you have something to do. It's better than looking at me while I drink tea."

Jia Lu also said on the side, "Yes, sister-in-law should be busy with your work. We are not outsiders, and we will help grandma Liu take care of it."

Because Jia Mu and others were going to come into the garden, there were many trivial matters such as seats, benches, tea bowls and veils, so Li Wan didn't refuse.

Carefully watched the girls and boys taking things, checked them as they took them, and yelled, "Good luck, don't be so flustered as if you were casting out a ghost, touch the boy carefully!"

Under her care, the previously busy and thoughtless group of people became orderly again. Jia Lu looked at the secret passage, and the elder sister-in-law seemed to be quite capable, so she thought again, This is what it should have been.

This eldest sister-in-law is the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife, if the eldest brother hadn't gone, she would also be the daughter-in-law of the second bedroom. She has also been educated and can read, probably no worse than Wang Xifeng.

We must know that Jia Zhu was talented and fond of reading back then, and he was always regarded as the future of the Jia family. Even today, Mrs. Wang often talks about him. Ma'am, why didn't they choose his daughter-in-law carefully?

Jia Lu and Daiyu sat drinking tea and chatting peacefully, but Grandma Liu couldn't sit still. She watched the same thing being taken down from the attic, curious in her heart, and stretched her neck to look up. As soon as Li Wan turned around, he saw her long-necked goose appearance, suppressed a smile, and asked,

"Grandma, do you want to go up and have a look?"

Grandma Liu was really looking forward to it, so she nodded, pulled the board, and climbed up the ladder. She saw the darkness inside, and she could see the nearby tables, chairs and lanterns clearly, but she couldn't see the ones a little further away. I got rid of my curiosity and came down.

Li Wan said again, "I'm afraid the old lady has become interested. If she wants to go by boat, she has to order someone to prepare the dock and the boat lady!"

As he said that, he hurried out to pack the boat again, and Grandma Liu followed Jia Lu and others. As soon as the boat got down the river, she saw Jia Mu bringing a large group of people over, and Li Wan with a case. Hua and Jia's mother were talking, and Grandma Liu stepped forward to make fun of her. Jia Lu asked Baoyu,

"Why did you come in with the old lady?"

"We were all waiting in the sister-in-law's yard. I didn't know where you went. We ran into the old lady as soon as we went out, so we came with us!"

"...Now let my head have a romantic turn!" Hearing the laughter ahead, Jia Lu looked over and saw that Grandma Liu was wearing a bunch of flowers on her head. After opening Jia Lu, I went up to see it.

Jia Lu shook her head and followed her up. When she mentioned that the garden was beautiful, Mother Jia called Jia Lu over and said,

"Grandma, do you know that my little granddaughter is the best at painting, she painted this garden at the beginning, and sent it to the palace, and the emperor rewarded her! Hurry up tomorrow, let her paint a picture too, Give it to your old man and take it back for the folks to see!"

Grandma Liu heard the words from the palace and the emperor, clasped her hands together, and said, "Amitabha, old lady, your granddaughter is not only a Bodhisattva, but also looks like a fairy, and has such abilities!"

Jia Mu laughed, and said, "The appearance and ability are there, but how did you know that she is a kind-hearted person?"

Grandma Liu said, "Don't believe it. When I first came back, I met Miss Si. How old was Miss Si at that time? Seeing that I was in trouble, she took off the bracelet and gave it to me. Such a pity for the poor." Xi weak girl, at that time I thought about what kind of person could raise this girl, but after seeing the old lady today, I realized that no one can raise this girl except the old lady!"

Only then did Mother Jia know that there was something about this festival in it, and she was happy when she heard what Grandma Liu said well.

First arrived at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, which is no different than other places where people live there all year round. Shi Xiangyun only comes here to live there every now and then, so the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and other courtyards must be a bit bleak. Fortunately, Shi Xiangyun happens to be living here now, and tidied it up once. , can be considered somewhat popular, not so embarrassing.

It's just that the decoration inside is the same as when it was just repaired. Grandma Liu said it was cool here, so she sat down for a while and left.

After that, I took a boat to Tanchun's Qiushuangzhai. Tanchun was very happy, and the three rooms were never separated. On the western wall of the foreign paint shelf, there was more than enough white jade, and there was a small hammer hanging on the side. Huanxi hit it with a small hammer, but was replaced by the servant with a bergamot.

Taking advantage of the commotion and Jia Mu talking, Jia Lu pulled Daiyu and whispered, "This room is well furnished, and the second sister is doing well."

Daiyu looked around, and said, "Madam is a good face, and the second younger sister also has some face with the old lady, so it won't be worse than this."

Leaving Qiushuangzhai, I went to Nuanxiangwu by boat again. This is a huge courtyard. Because there are two girls and a young master living together, the two houses around Nuanxiangwu are also grouped together. Going ashore from the lotus root champagne, passing through a corridor of bauhinia curtains, the heat of the autumn tiger gradually dissipated.

As soon as I went out of the corridor of the curtain hole, I saw a house with three main rooms and side ears. When I entered the house, I couldn't help but be surprised, even the old lady was shocked, and Grandma Liu repeatedly said to Buddha.

"My God, which master's study is this? Why are there so many books?"

It turned out that the library was the place where everyone came. The three houses in this place were all connected and never cut off, except for the southernmost one, where there was a little space left for two or three desks. In addition, the others are all large bookshelves connected to the top, placed from one end of the room to the other. Because they are too high, there is a small ladder beside each bookshelf.

Grandma Liu wandered around, but she didn't dare to touch it with her hands. Even the banger, which had been making a fuss all the time, calmed down and looked around with wide eyes. For people like them, books may be a lifetime. Even though Baner is still young, he grows up in this environment and has a natural feeling of reverence and fear for books.

Even Jia Mu looked quite different and asked,

"You two sisters, when did you come up with so many books?"

Daiyu replied, "Most of them were brought back by me from the south, and some were brought by my fourth sister from the East Mansion, or collected from outside."
