Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

When all the sisters heard about Jia Lu's great joy, they all came over to congratulate her, but Baoyu was anxious and dissatisfied and asked,

"Fourth sister, who is that Changping Marquis son? I heard that the emperor's decree came after Mr. Jing entered the palace. Is he the one chosen by Mr. Jing for you?"

Jia Lu shook her head, even she herself was confused, first she was called over in a hurry, then she didn't know anything, she took a bath and changed her clothes, and after receiving the imperial decree, she realized that it was the decree of marriage.

The candidate was not the son of the Lu family that Jia Jing valued, but that person, who wanted to ask a question or two, but seeing that Jia Jing was in a bad mood, he dismissed him casually, and went back to the study. Jia Lu was then asked by the old lady. After calling back, she still wants to know what's going on?

Seeing that she was confused, Xue Baochai helped her and said,

"Baoyu, the words of the matchmaker are ordered by your parents. Even if you ask the fourth younger sister, the fourth younger sister doesn't know how to answer you! I think these are the masters of respecting the old man!"

Jia Baoyu became anxious, and said, "How old is the fourth younger sister, and respecting the old man's cruel intentions, why should the fourth younger sister marry someone?"

"Baoyu!" Baochai scolded him, seeing that his words were getting worse and worse.

"This is a sage's fingered marriage, and you're the son of the Marquis Mansion. It's the most difficult marriage. It's a match made in heaven. If my uncle hears your nonsense, he will give you a good beating!"

Thinking of Jia Zheng, Baoyu didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Except for Baoyu, the sisters are all knowledgeable, said Yingchun,

"I don't think there are a few of us sisters. Except for the eldest elder sister, she is the oldest and she should be the first one. The next one is our youngest girl. I don't know if the fourth sister's official date has been set?"

Daiyu thought about the imperial decree just now, shook her head, and said,

"The imperial decree does not say the day."

Baochai smiled and said,

"This is what it should be. Although there is an imperial decree, the fourth sister is still young. If there is no accident, at least it will have to wait until after the fourth sister and Ji. For example, the marriage between the son of Qi Guogong and the Leyang County Lord was also the marriage of the emperor. It's settled, and we won't get married until the Leyang County Lord becomes an adult."

Tanchun shook his head and said,

"That's not necessarily the case. The Duke of Qi's son and the Lord of Leyang are about the same age, and there is only a difference of one or two years. It is a due ceremony when the Lord of Leyang becomes an adult. However, I seem to have heard that the son of Marquis Changping is not young. Less than four younger sisters have grown up?"

Everyone looked at Baoyu and asked, "Baoyu, do you know how old this son of the Marquis of Changping is?"

Changping Hou Shizi wanted to keep a low profile, and he was a foreigner. The sisters were not easy to inquire about, so they all looked at Baoyu. Baoyu thought about it carefully and said,

"I'm afraid I'm about to reach the crown?"

"That would be too bad, Changping Hou Shizi is at this age, I'm afraid he won't be able to wait long for our fourth sister!" Tanchun said.

"However, how come this Changping Hou Shizi has never talked about marriage at this age, isn't she the emperor's cousin?" Yingchun asked.

Baochai had been in charge of the family's business and was well-informed, so she told the rumors about Changping Hou's family one by one.

Mo Ran was sent by Zhao Mama to bring up snacks. She was worried about Yuanyang, and then she heard the girls talking about her own girl's marriage, and then thought about herself. on the teacup.

The sound of "Boom!" drew everyone's attention.

She was in a hurry to pick up the broken porcelain bowl, Jia Lu quickly stopped her and said,

"Don't touch it with your hands. This porcelain bowl looks thick and it will hurt your hands. Go and ask the little girl to bring up the dustpan and sweep her with a broom!"

Seeing Jia Lu being so considerate and kind, Mo Ran moved his lips, hesitating, and then said that he wanted to see the mandarin duck. After all, the girl is the master, maybe she has some good ideas?

"Fourth sister, come here!" Baoyu called out, waking up Mo Ran, but Mo Ran still couldn't speak.

Jia Lu glanced suspiciously at the hesitant Moran, always feeling that she had something to say to her, but she didn't see her talking, and heard Baoyu calling her, so she forgot it.

The sisters talked for a while, and it was getting late, and it was almost dinner time, so they took each other to the old lady's yard.

In the evening, dinner was served in the old lady's yard. Due to the rush of time, no outside guests were invited, but the whole family gathered for dinner.

During the period, Yuanyang went out for a trip, and when she came back, her eyes were red, and she was frizzy when doing things.

Not only the mother Jia who was serving saw it, but also the eldest wife, the eldest master, Wang Xifeng and other people who knew something about it. Even Jia Lu had noticed it a little bit, because Mo Ran beside her had been looking at the old lady a dozen times. The wife is distracted.

Jia Lu looked at the mandarin duck thoughtfully.

After eating, seeing that the old man had the cheek to stay, he felt more or less aware of it, but he didn't say anything. He glanced at the eldest lady again, and saw that although her complexion was rosy, but on closer inspection, it could be seen that she was full of makeup The role of the elder, occasionally looking at the elder, with a little bit of resentment.

It seems that Mrs. Chen is against it. She is not the kind of Mrs. Xing who follows the old master in everything.

In this way, Jia Lu was relieved.

In the red building, both Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Xing had nothing to do together, the old man alone, it wasn't that she looked down on the old man, but only by the old man's usual behavior, he knew that he couldn't do it right.

Sure enough, seeing the old man trying to wink at Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen ignored it completely, and then tried to wink at Wang Xifeng. Wang Xifeng told a joke again, and joined in the fun, so he was unwilling to join in.

Helpless, I could only take two steps forward by myself, and was about to speak, but didn't expect Yuanyang to stare at him long ago. Seeing that he was about to speak, she came out first, knelt down in front of the old lady, and sued the elder.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Li Wan came out first with the girl.

What was said in it made the old man extremely ashamed, and even the old lady was trembling with anger, cursing,

"I'm just such a fluffy girl, you still have to calculate! Do you still think of me at all?"

The old man said, "What am I planning, what's wrong with following me, if you want to drink spicy food, then you can stand up and be the master, what's wrong with that?"

The old lady pointed at him and cursed,

"What's so good about following you? You don't mind meat and vegetables, and you pull all the smelly and smelly things into the room. If I follow you, I'm afraid I'll wrong my mandarin duck!"

Seeing Mrs. Chen standing aside, even she scolded,

"What about you! You also think the same way. I usually see you as a well-behaved man. You are not a good husband, and I don't see you admonishing him once or twice. It can be seen that you are also a traitor!"

Mrs. Chen didn't shirk, she knelt down right away, didn't speak, only confessed, anyway, she had expected this a long time ago.

The old man was sprayed all over his head, and he was clumsy with his tongue. He had expected Mrs. Chen and Wang Xifeng to help out, but of the two of them, one only knew how to kneel on the ground to beg for mercy, and the other followed The girls hid together, and he was the only one who faced the old lady's anger.

In addition, how many years have passed, Jia Amnesty has never been able to stand up in front of the old lady, this time also under the anger of the old lady, even though he was fully prepared, he still flinched, waved his sleeves, and said a cruel sentence words, words,

"Then I wish the old lady a long life and protect your little girl!"

After finishing speaking, I left!
