Jia Lu through the Red Chamber

Mother Jia touched the baby fat that had disappeared from her face, sighed, and held Jia Lu tightly with one hand, while Mrs. Zhang supported her with the other to go to the inner courtyard.

Jia's mother said, "Your second elder sister has a cough when the season changes, and your second sister-in-law Lian is taking care of her at home. You haven't come to our house for half a year. Your elder sister Lin has gone back to the south again. You Baoyu, Yingchun, Tanchun and the others are thinking of you!"

Jia Lu replied, "I'm thinking about them too, but I value filial piety now, so how could I go over and offend the old lady and sisters?"

"You are sisters, and it's your mother's funeral. Your mother always loved them and was filial to me. There's nothing to conflict with."

Jia Lu heard that Mother Jia seemed to have something to say, but she didn't know what it meant, so she didn't dare to respond.

At this time, Jia Jing came up to meet him. Hearing that Jia Mu was looking for him, Jia Jing put down what he was doing and rushed over, bowed to the old lady,

"My nephew pays respects to the old lady." Zhang Shi and Jia Lu, who were with Jia's mother, stepped aside early. They were juniors and could not accept his gift.

Jia's mother also turned sideways. Although she is an elder, she is a female family member. Jia Jing is the head of the clan, so she can only receive half a courtesy.

Jia Jing came up to help, and Zhang Shi hurriedly moved out of his seat.

"I heard that the old lady came here to find me. I don't know what's the matter. Your old man can replace me. Why bother to go out?"

Holding Jia Lu with one hand and supported by Jia Jing with the other, Mrs. Zhang entered the flower hall of Rong'an Hall. This was the daily living place of Mrs. Han, and every plant and tree has the breath of Mrs. Han's day.

After Mrs. Han left, Jia Jing asked his family members to change their names, and he himself didn't want to live here, so he simply settled down in the daily outer courtyard. Jia Zhen and Mrs. Zhang are making arrangements to move in.

Entering the small flower hall, I saw two red sandalwood armchairs with big backs and carved patterns in the center, and two rows of chairs with lamps hanging on the backs neatly arranged. When Jia Mu saw it, she said,

"Let's go to the compartment!"

Turning around, bypassing the hollowed-out curtain wall, I entered Han’s daily living room. The interior was not very big, and a big arhat platform took up one-third of the area. Fresh fruits and flowers were placed on it, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly ordered the case to be taken away, while Jia's mother dragged Jia Lu to the bed.

Mrs. Zhang ordered someone to fetch a screen chair and let Jia Jing sit on it.She knew that since Mother Jia chose such a small place, she probably didn't want many people to listen, so she asked the maids and women to go out, prepared tea herself, and stood aside to serve.

Jia Lu saw that Mother Jia wanted to reveal something confidential, and was about to leave, but Mother Jia held her tightly, fell into a limp, and hugged her in her arms.

Jia Jing was also puzzled, this aunt didn't know what to do, so she could only take one step at a time.

"What orders does the old lady have, please tell me directly!" Without outsiders, Jia Jing didn't want to go around with her.

Jia Mu's eyes flashed, this Jia Jing is really dissatisfied with her life or their house!

Mother Jia sighed, looked at Jia Lu lovingly, and said:

"I wanted to say it earlier, but I thought that you are busy with the affairs of the Han family, so you don't have time to come here in the past. I just happened to be free today, so I came to see you."

"Thank you, old lady, for your concern." Jia Jing replied.

Listening to Jia Jing's blunt words, Jia's mother also knew that she couldn't make a turn, so she said

"Brother Jing, Mrs. Han has gone, and I don't know what you think about Sister Lu?"

Jia Lu was shocked, what does the old lady mean?

Jia Jing was also certain that Mother Jia wanted to win her over through Sister Lu, or to show it to outsiders that she was a family in Rongning and Ningfu.

Is this a temporary idea, or is she trying to support someone to expand her momentum?Crown Prince, Prince Yide or Fourth Prince?

"Mr. Han passed away, so Sister Lu naturally needs to keep her filial piety for three years." Jia Jing replied cautiously, he still didn't want to be involved in an unknown crisis.

Mother Jia sighed, "Sister Lu is not young anymore. At the age of nine, if she keeps her filial piety for three years, she will be 12 years old. You are her real father. Now that her mother is gone, if you don't even care about her She considers, poor thing, what future does Sister Lu have."

As he talked, he wanted to wipe away his tears.

Jia Jing naturally didn't dare to admit this, so he could only say,

"The old lady is too worried. Sister Lu is my daughter. The Han family hired a teacher for her early on. It's just that she has always been playful, fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. We are used to pampering her husband and wife." Yes, now that she is staying at home and getting older, I plan to let her study hard during the period of filial piety. Besides, Mrs. Zhang is still here. Since Mrs. Han has gone, and Mrs. Zhang's eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, she is naturally indispensable. share."

Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement, "Old lady, although I am a sister-in-law, you also know that Brother Rong is at this age. To say something unlucky, I think I will only be a child of Brother Rong in my whole life. Sister Lu My son said she was my sister-in-law, but in my opinion, she is similar to my daughter, so naturally I won't treat her badly."

Jia Lu also noticed that Mother Jia wanted to raise herself in the Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Jing disagreed.

This made her think of the Han family. The Han family did not allow her to go there that day, saying that the Rongguo mansion was too chaotic, but she couldn't stand her acting like a baby, so she let her go. At that time, she was only concerned about being with her sisters and sisters. At the same time, it was completely unexpected that the woman who doted on her would leave in less than a year.

Thinking about it, Jia Lu's eyes also turned red.

Jia's mother knew that whether it was Zhang's or Jia Lu's, she would listen to Jia Jing. Unless she was persuaded, she would not be able to achieve her goal today.

"I know daughter-in-law Zhen's character, so why don't I worry about it, but daughter-in-law Zhen is from a civil servant family, and she is not very proficient in our honorable affairs, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Brother Feng to help. "

Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang blushed. She has been married to Jia's family for 30 to [-] years, but she hasn't even done this. It's really her fault.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Jing again,

"One more thing, people in this world are all picky. The first thing they look at is the concubine of the daughter's family. If it is a concubine, I will never look at it again. Our sister Lu has a good background. Although she is young, she is from Ningguo. The eldest daughter of the mansion is still the only daughter, so this status is naturally first-class, and if you look at it in the capital, it is also one of the best."

Jia Mu paused,

"Looking at the concubine and the family, it is upbringing. As the saying goes, like a mother, like a daughter, what they want to look at is the upbringing of the mother. As the wife of the Jia family for many years, the Han family has been filial to the elders and close to the clansmen. , I pity the old and cherish the weak, as an elder, I can say that she is a good person. But why did she go so early!"

Mother Jia pressed the corners of her eyes,

"Sister Lu and my poor Yu'er have generally become the eldest daughter of a widow in five marriages. Mrs. Zhang was born in a university scholar's house, so her education is naturally good, but she is still young and she is still a sister-in-law. There are always people who don't believe it. .”

Jia Jing gradually began to think about it. What Jia's mother said was also reasonable. Sister Lu's daughter is very good, but she lost her mother. Jia Jing himself is at such an age that he doesn't want to harm young girls. After all, his reputation is better than that of ordinary people. Worse.

thump, thump, finally, it's written. Jia Lu is going to live in Rongguo Mansion. This is also the most important reason why I wrote about the Han family. Isn't the group of daughters with their own characteristics the reason why the Red Mansion is so attractive?Jia Lu has been wandering outside the Rongguo Mansion, how can this work, many things can't just happen by chance!
