Honglou Fudaizhi has professionally planted grass for many years

After discussing these matters for a long afternoon, when it was almost dinner time, Tom took Daiyu back to Geng Daoyuan.

"I really learned today, if you want to take me out next time, I will definitely not do it." Sitting on the dressing table, Daiyu let Mingyan undo her hair.

Tom smiled and said nothing, but put the shrunken account book on his coat.Zuo Zhen clasped her hands at the side, and sorted out the account books that had been put back into the original state: "Looking at the account books, our girl can be regarded as the richest person. Look at the Xue family in that yard, it is just a small business, and it is always a small business. They boast about their wealth, not to mention the original family property of our Lin family, just look at this account book, the wealth over there is nothing but Xie Ji's blooming flowers."

"What a girl, how dare you chew these tongues in front of the uncle and the girl, and pull them down quickly. If there are no rules, go to the yard outside and get 10 slaps." Yang Nanny said sharply.

Nothing happened recently, and the servants, big and small, were more relaxed. Although they still read the rules and strict rules, they were all from the Lin family around the room, so it was inevitable that they were a little loose.

At this moment, after listening to Yang Nanny's scolding, Zuo Zhen finally came to her senses, she didn't dare to say even a half-sentence to explain and beg for mercy, so she could only kneel on the ground politely and wait for Daiyu to deal with her.

Daiyu is in a good mood today, and she doesn't want to embarrass her, but the rules are here, so I have to mention one or two points: "You see that life is calmer now, but you don't know if there are invisible swords covering the carpet. Going down with one foot will stab you right through. Zuo Zhen is too loose today, go and receive the punishment by yourself, but you don't have to go to the yard, go back to your room by yourself, and deduct another month's monthly payment. You should wake up yourself god."

This is to save face for Zuo Zhen.If she goes to the yard to receive punishment, she will lose her face, and the little girls will not be able to convince her in the future.Let her go back to her room now, besides the four big girls, only Daiyu brothers and sisters and Nanny Yang are present.

Zuo Zhen understood this in her heart: "Thank you, miss, for your mercy."

Daiyu didn't say much, but just waved her hands to make Zuo Zhen retreat, and the grass next to her also followed.

"Where are you going later?" Daiyu asked Tom.

Tom finished digging out the account books, Huan Lang was still there tidying up, but he was lying comfortably on Daiyu's bed: "I won't go out, it's already dinner. Tomorrow I'll spread the posts and I should go out and socialize."

"Then you go change your clothes, and after a short rest, it's time to go to Rongqing Hall for dinner." Daiyu called Mingyan to change, and she was talking about Tom.

As Tom walked out, he agreed casually: "Got it, got it. I'll go right away, wait for me to go to Rongqing Hall together."

I said to wait for Tom, but in fact it was Daiyu who was waiting.Tom sat outside and waited for a long time before Daiyu finally cleaned up.The little man like a beautiful woman stood under the eaves and waved to him, and Tom's heart softened.

The two went to Rongqing Hall hand in hand.

The old lady specially arranged a family banquet today, one is because Tom is here, and the other is also the idea of ​​a good family reunion.Not only the elder master's family came together, but even the second master's family came together. The political master, who had not shown his face for a long time, also sat in the Rongqing Hall tonight. There was neither a poetry meeting nor a prayer, which was not easy.

The eldest master brought Jia Lian and Jia Cong, and the second master brought Jia Lan and Jia Huan. The group sat in the outer hall, separated from the inner hall where the female relatives were treated by a curtain. Jia Baoyu mixed in with a group of female relatives. something is wrong.

Tom and Daiyu first entered the Honor Hall to greet the old lady, Daiyu stayed inside, and Tom was left when they came out.

Tom and Daiyu got into a fight a little later, and by the time Tom came out, all the men from Jia's family had already sat down.Tom raised his hand as a salute: "I'm late today, please forgive my uncles and cousins."

"It's okay, your little one is exhausted after running around for several days. Take a seat first." Jia She didn't care much about these details, and waved Tom to sit down.

But Jia Zheng didn't seem to hear what Jia She said, as if he didn't know that there was Jia She: "Brother Huai is grown up now, and he is also a person who reads sage books. He needs to know the word filial piety, and let the elders be here." Waiting, but your filial piety? I heard that you also have to wait for the next year to take the scientific examination, Li Zi is rude, why do you say the examination."

Damn, retarded.

The servants around seemed to be used to seeing the Second Master's refutation of the First Master's face, and now they didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him talking like this, even the Jia family's men were used to it.

Jia Amnesty's face was full of disappointment and anger. This expression seemed to please Jia Zheng. He even bent the corners of his mouth. He didn't laugh because of the occasion and mood, but the complacency on his face was Any fool can see it.

This fool.

Tom glanced at the indifference in Jia She's eyes, and felt even more contemptuous of Jia Zheng in front of him.

"Cousin Huai, come and sit down. I can't blame my cousin for the long journey." It was Jia Lian who smoothed things over. This kid has a high emotional intelligence. Although he lives close to Jia Zheng and is not too close to Jia She, he is still very interesting at critical moments. It is necessary to clarify the relationship of interests.

"Lian'er, rebellious." Seeing that Jia Lian didn't do what he wanted, Jia Zheng scolded angrily: "Could it be that he didn't see the elders talking here and dared to be so disobedient, so you know the word unfilial." He glared angrily, quite ferociously.Although this can frighten ordinary servants, in the eyes of Tom and others, it is simply a joke, and there is no deterrence at all.

Jia Amnesty didn't speak, and still maintained that look of being angry but silent.The whole outer hall could only hear Jia Zheng's howling, and this sound was also transmitted to the inner hall. After hearing this, Jia's mother put on a face and ordered: "Go and tell your second master that today is a happy day. My granddaughter and nephew are all happy." Come to see me, Baoyu, who scolds me all day long, will not talk, if he wants to make me unhappy today, just yell, the old woman is unhappy, no one can try to be happy."

Although it was a family banquet, Aunt Xue also came with her son and daughter. Although Xue Pan hadn't arrived yet, she and Xue Baochai flattered Jia's mother in the inner room.Therefore, when Mother Jia spoke, although she was reprimanding Jia Zheng, she had the petty willfulness of an old woman, and did not disrespect Jia Zheng in front of outsiders.

The little girl went out to pass on a message, and it was not easy to quiet down outside. After a while, Xue Pan came in.

As usual, it was a confession, and then he sat down at the table without anyone speaking.Jia Amnesty glanced at Jia Zheng with a half-smile, and Jia Zheng's eyes were full of sarcasm.But Jia Mu had already spoken just now, but now he didn't dare to scold Xue Pan again, so he blushed under Jia Amnesty's eyes.

The room became inexplicably quiet, and the air was filled with embarrassment.Xue Pan looked around inexplicably, and Aunt Xue, mother and daughter were also awkward for a while.

"Grandmother." Daiyu pulled Jiamu's sleeve and called her in a low voice, somehow breaking the silence.

Aunt Xue smiled: "If it is a daughter, I used to always feel that there is no better girl in the world than my Baochai. But now I see Lin girl and I know that there are such outstanding people at this time, as if the world is full of aura. It's all grown on her."

"Auntie is too proud. Baochai is also a good child, such a good girl, I love her every day." When the atmosphere came to this point, Aunt Xue flattered her just to the point, and Mother Jia rarely agreed with her.

After a dinner party, it may not be that everyone is happy, but there is still joy on the face.

"Turn on the lamp and be careful. If the girl and Brother Huai fall, you can see who I can spare." Daiyu and Tom were about to go back, and Jiamu was very worried and ordered repeatedly.

When everything was settled, Daiyu turned to Jiamu and said, "Grandmother, Yu'er has gone back, and I will have breakfast with my grandmother tomorrow morning."

"Your little one, you need to sleep more, and you won't come back tomorrow until you've slept well. Be careful with your steps," Jia Mu said.

They saluted Jia's mother again before going out.

Everyone went to their own homes, and this night was as usual, and there was nothing worth mentioning.

On the second day, Daiyu naturally went to Jiamu's place for dinner early in the morning, and Tom also went, but only invited Ann and went out.One of his former comrades in Yangzhou, Pan Zheng, came to Beijing with his father, and now he is in the yamen of the Chinese Army Guard Battalion on the outskirts of Beijing. The purpose of going out today is to meet him and recall the past together.After all, Tom was behind his younger brother in Yangzhou back then, and Jiangnan, who was carrying the wind, took the lead.

Although Pan Zheng's name is upright, he can be called quite talented in Jiangnan, where many talented people come from. Therefore, this talent is indeed there, and there is more than a little.It's a pity, such a talent, but not a very good character. To say that he is full of five poisons is definitely not an exaggerated description.
