Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Suddenly a maid dressed as a woman came out of the car, and said to the handlebar, "Hurry up, why are you delaying here!"

Grandma Liu heard the voice sound familiar, looked up and said in surprise, "Isn't this the girl serving the book?"

Only then did the waiter notice the person who almost hit him on one side. Compared with the young people, Grandma Liu has not changed much in the past few years. She is busy on the carriage and salutes,

"Grandma Liu, I'm really sorry just now, but our wife is in a hurry to go back to Beijing, and I don't have time to chat with your old man at the moment, so I ask Grandma Liu to make amends."

When Grandma Liu saw that she called her wife, she thought to herself, but the third girl is married, so she hurriedly said,

"It's okay, but the third girl is inside? Since the girl is in a hurry to leave, I won't block the way. It just so happens that Ban'er and I are going to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital. Maybe we can meet the girl!"

Hearing this voice, Jia Tanchun, who was dressed in a woman's attire, poked his head out and said, "We are going to Rong, Jia's house too. Grandma Liu might as well go along the way!"

Grandma Liu rubbed her hands together, "Well, what's the point of this?"

The secretary has become more and more agile since he got married. Seeing that Grandma Liu refused, he immediately jumped out of the carriage, half helping and half pulling Grandma Liu into the carriage, saying,

"Grandma, don't delay, our wife is in a hurry, you old man and Ban'er don't know when they will arrive on this mule, maybe it will be too late!"

Grandma Liu was about to ask whether it was too late or not. The sun had just come out, and it was only noon when we arrived at Rongguo Mansion in Kyoto. How late would it be?

After getting into the car, seeing Jia Tanchun's filial piety, he was speechless and asked, "Gu, girl, what's wrong with you?"

It was just far away, so I didn't see it clearly, and when I got close to Grandma Liu, I saw that Jia Tanchun's entire eyelids were swollen, and there was a red patch, obviously swollen from crying.

Tanchun slightly covered his eyes, and said with a wry smile, "It's a joke for Grandma Liu."

Grandma Liu hastily waved her hand and said,

"No, no, girl, but who is it in the Rongguo Mansion..."

"Grandma, I'm already married. My husband's family name is Zhou. Grandma can call me wife. I can't afford to be a girl anymore, let alone Rongguo Mansion. Rongguo Mansion has been ransacked a long time ago. Now only Rongning Street Jia Home!"

Although Grandma Liu lives in the suburbs of Beijing, the countryside is the countryside, and the information is not smooth. I don't know that such a big thing happened to the Jia family. It is a huge crime to steal the house, and I don't know what the Jia family has committed. Something happened, someone died, she didn't dare to ask more.

Just like this, I went all the way without talking, and when I came to Rongning Street, the signs of the two mansions of Rongning and Ningxia were demolished. Chun cried again.

She knew that the old lady had gone, but when she didn't see her in person, she would always miss her a little bit. Now that she saw her, even the last miss was gone!

The carriage went all the way into Jia's mansion. Although it is no longer the mansion of the Duke, the courtyard is still the same size. After entering the house and getting off the carriage, Tanchun ignored Grandma Liu and hurried to the direction of the mourning hall. run away.

Grandma Liu is holding onto the board tightly. She has only been to the mansion on the west side, but never to the mansion on the east side. people.

The person in charge of the carriage and stables saw him and came up to ask, "I know what this person's name is? But he's here for a funeral?"

Grandma Liu saluted and asked, "I'm a relative of Mrs. Wang of the Xifu and Second Mistress Lian. I don't know who went to the house?"

The manager looked at her suspiciously and said she was a relative, but he didn't even know who was there.

"It was the old lady from the West Mansion who went. Because the home in the West Mansion was sealed off, the old lady set up a coffin at our house. Today is the day for the funeral!"

"The old lady has gone?" Half surprised and half clear, she heard that something happened in the Rongguo Mansion, and she was worried about the old lady. I don't know that the old lady can't make it through the blow, it seems that she hasn't passed it.

"Yes, the old lady has gone." Seeing that Grandma Liu was unclear, the manager said again, saying,

"Both the master and the second wife of the West Mansion made a mistake. One was sentenced to exile, and the other went to prison while in prison. The corpse was collected by our family. Except for the return of the private property of the female family members, the others were not kept. , and now they are all living in our house, since your old man said that he is a relative of Lian's second grandma, why don't I take you to meet Lian's second grandma!"

Grandma Liu quickly kowtowed and said, "Then thank you very much!"

The steward helped her up, led her to the back, and said, "The old lady's matter is under the supervision of Lian Erye and Lian Ermai, and today is the day of the funeral. I'm afraid I won't be free, your old man has gone, just meet Aunt Ping'er and listen to her orders."

As he spoke, he came to the courtyard where Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng lived temporarily. Just like what the manager said, there was no Jia Lian or Wang Xifeng in the room, only Ping'er was holding a little boy who looked like two or three years old, sitting beside him A ten-year-old girl.

Grandma Liu came forward to say hello, Ping'er hurriedly said, "Grandma, get up quickly, I'm holding my brother right now, I can't help you!"

Grandma Liu jumped up by herself, patted the ashes on her body, smiled very honestly, and said, "I don't need a girl to help me, I can get up by myself!"

Seeing her agile appearance, Ping'er also smiled and said, "Nurse is in such a healthy body!"

"We country folks have nothing but a good body." He leaned up again, saw that the sturdy little boy in her hand was sleeping, and said,

"Is this Grandma's or..." Or Pinger's?

"This is our grandma's eldest son. His single name is Mao, and he is called Brother Mao. By the way, big sister, come and meet Grandma Liu!"

Said that a little girl sitting next to her passed by, and greeted Grandma Liu, Grandma Liu hurriedly waved her hands and said, "You can't do it!"

"It makes me wonder, grandma still remembers her. You old man gave her her name, and she was called Qiaojieer!"

"I remember, but the girl who was born on the seventh day of July!" Grandma Liu opened her mouth with a smile, revealing the black holes in her teeth, "It's so big now!"

Grandma Liu looked up and down, maybe because of such a fate, Sister Qiao didn't admit that she was born, and smiled at her, showing a cute dimple on her cheek, which was much more stretched than when she was young, suddenly Grandma Liu's heart moved, I feel that the bond between me and Qiaojieer has also dissipated.

For some reason, Grandma Liu became more and more happy. She couldn't be more fond of this young child who is so sensible. Even Ban Er was on the sidelines.

Ping'er moved his hands, and seeing that Brother Mao was fast asleep, he handed him over to the nanny, and Sister Qiao took him down.

Inviting Grandma Liu to sit down, she asked, "How come Grandma has no time to go to Beijing today? It's a pity that it's not a coincidence. I'm afraid our grandma doesn't have much time to come to see you!"

"It's also because I didn't inquire about it before I came here. I thought it was cold this winter, and it snowed again. The bad bugs in the field were frozen to death, so it has been open for a new year, and everything in the field is very good. I thought Such a good thing is coming to Xiaojing's mansion, so it's just delivered, but it's all on the carriage, and I don't know where it was received!" While talking, she looked around, and finally thought about sending something In the car.

Ping'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Is grandma's life getting better these days? Are there any carriages?"

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "No way, I happened to meet the third girl on the road, oh no, it was Mrs. Zhou, she came by, how could the old lady be so lucky!"

"Miss San is back?" Ping'er stood up, took a few steps back and forth, and said happily, "It's really great!"

The third girl is back, doesn't that mean that the Zhou family is also back, and their family can have one more in-law to help, and they won't be entirely dependent on Dongfu.

Grandma Liu only thought she was happy that the third girl was back, and said, "The third girl is married, I don't know which family it is from? What happened to the other girls?"

"The third girl married the master's colleague Zhou's family in Shandong. Now that she has returned to Beijing to be an official, she can stay. The second girl has entered the palace. Now she is valued by the old lady and is decent. The fourth girl also Married, married to Pingyuan Hou Jiang's family, and now is Mrs. Hou."

"The four girls are all married. I remember that the four girls haven't reached the age yet, right?" Grandma Liu asked. Didn't it mean that the girls in their family were all married late?

"It's only this year, but my uncle is not young, and he has an imperial decree, so he is earlier than others."

"Then Master Bao and Miss Lin are also married?" Grandma Liu thought of the couple who were in front of the old lady back then.

"Cough! Keep your voice down!" Ping'er took a look and said, "Second Master Bao is married to Miss Bao, just last winter!"

"God!" The matter of this big family is really true. It was really Bao Erye and Miss Lin back then, why did they change again now?

She also saw that Miss Bao, she was also an excellent girl, well-behaved and decent, but she was old and didn't like these well-behaved girls very much, but Miss Lin who was more talkative liked it more.

"Then Miss Lin?" What's the matter?

"Miss Lin, what are you worried about? Her brother is now the youngest Tanhua in the dynasty. Some people ask to marry her, but it's not appropriate to mention it because of the old lady."

Grandma Liu approached and asked, "Why don't Second Master Bao and Miss Lin become so good?"

Ping'er simply said a few words, "It's not unusual, Second Master Bao's jade was thrown away once, and then his spirituality was hurt, Second Master Bao also became confused, saying that the girl who belongs to gold can help him, Therefore, the one who was settled was Miss Bao, and the calculation was very accurate, so we got married, Second Master Bao not only recovered his spirituality, but also became sensible, saying that he was going to study for the imperial examination!"

Baoyu was indeed on the mend, but it was not because of Xue Baochai, but because of the death of the old lady, which woke him up suddenly, but the unification of the outside world was that Xue Baochai protected him, which is also a good reputation for Xue Baochai, especially in the After Xue Pan was sentenced to death, this good reputation was good for both Xue Baochai and Baoyu.

"Amitabha!" Grandma Liu put her palms together and said, "My wife has always valued this Second Master Treasure, and now my wish has been fulfilled!"

Ping'er didn't reply, Mrs. Wang and so on, it's in the past after all.

Grandma Liu also thought that Mrs. Wang had also committed a crime, so she was a little embarrassed and stopped talking.

Ping'er chatted with Grandma Liu, and then listened to the report from outside, saying that the old lady was going out, please invite Brother Mao and eldest sister to come over, Ping'er hurriedly stood up, and after saying that he knew, he told Liu Grandma apologized,

"Grandma, I'm really sorry, this is not our home, and I can't make the decision to keep you here." He took out the embroidered bag that was usually used to reward people from his sleeve, handed it to Grandma Liu, and said,

"I will hire a car for grandma to go back with the money. Our grandfather built a house on Xilong Street in the east. After sending the old lady away, we will move there. If grandma is free, I will go and sit there. I won't keep you any longer!"

Grandma Liu declined the money and said, "Blessed by the old lady and the wife, our family has developed a little bit, so it's not bad. Miss, hurry up and take the uncle and eldest sister there!"

The two gave way, but Ping'er was urged to take it back, and then ordered Ren Haosheng to send Grandma Liu out, and hurriedly took Jia Mao and Jia Qiao to see the spirit.

Grandma Liu was sent out, and she stood outside the gate, holding the hand of the board, looking at the long string of white coffins, and the white paper floating around. There was a piece of white in front of my eyes, and the whiteness was like heavy snow in winter, it was extraordinarily quiet.

"Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you?" Ban'er tugged on Grandma Liu's clothes, and woke up Grandma Liu, surrounded by the sound of Ula Ula's mourning song, which made people's ears hurt.

Grandma Liu shook her head, pulled the board and left, thinking to herself, she is really old, she can't even hear the sound if she sees something wrong.

Not far from Grandma Liu, a young woman in filial piety was sitting in a small carriage. She raised the curtains, looked at the departing procession, and choked up, "Old lady, Yun'er can't see you off anymore." !"

On the side, a girl dressed as a girl closed the curtains, comforted the women and said, "Grandma, we should go back, Madam and the others are going to be unhappy again."

The woman clasped the wood on the window sill with both hands, and there was a slight crease between her brows, "Could it be, can't I stay a little longer?"

The servant girl didn't speak, but the woman put her hands down and said, "Let's go, from Jia's house to Shi's house, then from Shi's house to Wei's house, everyone who dotes on me has gone, what right do I have to say no?"

Maid girl, Cui Hui didn't say a word, she knocked on the wooden board of the car door, and started off unsteadily.
