Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

After Jia Amnesty led Hengan and the others, and Li Mo himself took the people and packed up all the things that should be taken away, it was almost time for dinner.

After everyone had dinner, Li Mo went to see the two children and told them not to play so late and go to bed early before returning to his room.

Jia Amnesty had already been waiting in the room, holding a book of travel notes that Li Mo usually read to pass the time!

Seeing Li Mo come back, he asked, "Did Hengan go to bed so early?"

Li Mo replied while washing up: "The children are not asleep yet. I have already told them that they will go to bed early after playing for a while. It's all right. There is someone to watch over them!"

"Well, then let's go to bed early too!" Seeing that Li Mo had almost cleaned up, Jia She put down the books in his hands, got up, dragged his shoes and lay down on the bed to rest.

"Well, you go to bed first!" Li Mo was busy for a while before turning off the light.

Jia Amnesty originally wanted to have a good chat with Li Mo before going to bed, and explain something to ease the atmosphere between the two of them, but seeing that Li Mo turned inside as soon as he came up, before he could think of something to say Well, he was already asleep, and he could only sigh in frustration!

When Li Mo got up at dawn the next day, Jia She got up together with black eyes. Li Mo looked at his dark circles twice, and asked with concern:

"Master didn't rest last night, okay? When you go back, you'd better stop riding a horse and go back with us in a carriage. At least you can rest in the carriage for a while!"

Jia Amnesty felt that he was really not in good spirits, so he didn't force himself to go riding, nodded and said hello.

It wasn't until Chenshi in the morning (at eight o'clock in the morning) that Li Mo and his group loaded all their things into the carriage. After checking that everything was fine, Li Mo took Heng An and the others into the carriage with Jia Amnesty , heading towards the capital.

On the carriage, Jia Amnesty closed his eyes and rested his mind, while Hengan and Jia Zong gathered together by the window and muttered something in a low voice!

Li Mo's mood also became very calm. He lifted the curtain on his side and looked at the withered vegetation outside--the vast and vast scene. From time to time, there were one or two low-pitched chirps of birds, which made the surrounding scene even more vivid. The vast expanse!

Apart from Hengan and the others whispering around the carriage, there was only the sound of the wheels running, and a gust of cold wind blew in from time to time outside the window, making people feel a sense of chill from the bottom of their hearts!

Occasionally, Li Mo could see some farmers braving the cold and preparing the land for the coming spring!

After walking for three or four hours on the road, I used some dry food at noon and continued on my way. When I returned to Jia's mansion, it was already late in the afternoon. After sitting in the carriage for so long, everyone was exhausted. .

After Jia Amnesty and Li Mo went back to the big room to rest for a while, Li Mo saw that the two children were tired, so he didn't let the two of them go to Jia's mother's place to pay their respects. They had just recovered from their illness, and they would go with Li Mo the next day. Just please.

When Jia Amnesty and Li Mo came to Rongqing Hall together, it was still far away from the time for dinner. After the maid informed, the two greeted Jia's mother respectively.

Mother Jia, who was not in a very good spirit, glanced at them and said coldly:

"Bosses, you are back, why don't you see the children?"

Without waiting for Jia Amnesty to speak, Li Mo explained in a very respectful tone:

"The children's condition has just improved, and today they have been tossing around for a few hours. The daughter-in-law looked at them with a bad complexion. If they are sick, the ancestors will worry about you!

I had to let them go back to the room to have a good rest, and come back tomorrow to greet the ancestors, and please the ancestors not to blame the daughter-in-law for making claims! "

Seeing Jia Amnesty who agreed with Mrs. Xing's words very much, Jia's mother said in a displeased heart: Whoever wants to see those two sick people who are sick all day long will know how to listen to the elders. How can my grandson compare with a finger of my own precious jade!

Even though Jia Mu didn't like to see the big house's people very much, she didn't want to leave a story for people to say that she was unkind, so she could only pretend not to care and said:

"They are all children, and their bones are weak. It's not too late to greet me tomorrow. It's important to take care of their own bodies now! I still have some good medicinal materials. I will send them to the children later. In the past, I hope they recover better!"

"The daughter-in-law thanked the ancestors on behalf of Hengan and Zong'er, but the ancestors know how to feel sorry for them, and when they get well, the daughter-in-law must make them honor your elders!" Knowing that Hengan and the others are just recovering from their illness, Li Mo didn't mind. Knowing what Jiamu meant, she could only say it in a very grateful tone.

"Well, now that you are back, it will save the boss from worrying about it all the time in the mansion. Boss, you are not young anymore. Don't worry about your wife and children all day long. You should also learn from your second brother and others, and do more for our mansion." Take care of the things here!" Mother Jia said with a very sad look on Jia Amnesty's failure to make progress.

Jia Amnesty replied a little ashamed by what Jia Mu said:

"Mom, what you said is that my son will pay more attention to the affairs of the house in the future. Don't be angry—it's worthwhile to hurt your own body!"

To be honest, Mother Jia got a little impatient when she saw Jia She and the others, so she waved her hand and said:

"Okay, I have nothing to do here, you go back!"

"Yes, the old ancestor, we are going back first. If you have anything to order, you can send someone over to call us over. Now I won't disturb the old ancestor, you rest!" Li Mo said goodbye very tactfully.

After Jia Amnesty and Li Mo returned to the big room, not long after they sat down, Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng came to pay their respects.

"Greetings to the master and wife. The sons and daughters-in-law heard that the master and wife are back, so they came to greet you. Master and wife, you are safe and sound on the journey. How are Heng An and Zong'er recovering?" Jia Lian's momentum was a little lacking. , very formulaic please An Dao.

Li Mo saw that it was almost a replica of Jia She and himself saying hello to Jia Mu just now, and laughed a little in his heart. Seeing Jia She's frown, Li Mo said directly:

"You guys are concerned, Heng'an and Zong'er are fine, and the way we came back was also smooth. We haven't seen each other for so many days. Why have you two lost so much weight? Things in the house are busy, but you also have to Pay attention to your own body! If you are sick, don't you want to worry us as parents!"

Hearing what Li Mo said, Jia Amnesty took a closer look at Jia Lian, and found that his complexion had indeed turned paler, so it was rare to show some concern:

"Didn't the case in the mansion fail to find anything all of a sudden? Is there any new progress in the mansion? Why are you so busy?"

It was rare for Jia Lian to see his father show any relationship to him, and he said awkwardly:

"Returning to the master, the case in the mansion did not make much progress for a while, but because of such a big incident in our mansion, there are suddenly a lot of trivial things going back and forth, and many of them are old men in our mansion. Kiss, it's not easy to refuse their kindness, it's a bit busy for a while!"

Well, Jia Amnesty is actually very displeased with Jia Lian, Wang Xifeng and the others who treat the words of the second room as if they were an imperial decree, and they seem to be instigated by them non-stop, but Jia Lian and the others have always been not close to him, and they all like to join the second room!

Thinking of this, Jia Amnesty felt that they were not going well, and said in a somewhat impatient tone:

"There are so many things in the mansion, if the servants can handle them, let them handle them, and you don't need your master to be busy everywhere every day, otherwise, why don't you feed them?"

Although Jia She's tone was not very friendly, Jia Lian was still happy with Jia She's rare care, and quickly responded:

"Son, you can save it. Master, you have been very busy recently, and you need to pay more attention! Son and Feng'er are still young, so it doesn't matter if you are a little tired!"

Wang Xifeng has always disliked Jia She and Li Mo, and when she sees her father-in-law and mother-in-law, she is very perfunctory in salutes, and now she doesn't know what to say to Jia She and the others, and she doesn't like to talk to them.

At this time, it was inconvenient to leave immediately due to etiquette, so I could only sit silently and watch Jia Lian and the elders talk, but it didn't take long. Jia Lian asked Jia Amnesty and Li Mo about their physical condition and daily diet , there is nothing to say after that.

In order to avoid embarrassment, at this time Jia Lian took the initiative to visit the two younger brothers who had just recovered from illness. Li Mo looked at the sky and refused:

"Your two younger brothers probably have gone to rest after dinner. You can go to see them in a day or two. They are all brothers, so there is no need to take offense! You have been busy all day, you should go back to rest early! "

Jia Lian saw what Li Mo said, and saw that Jia Amnesty did not object, so he and Wang Xifeng got up and said goodbye.

The relationship between Jia Lian and Li Mo has always been relatively estranged, and it is enough to do what should be done and stop the mouths of the world.Li Mo is Jia Lian's stepmother, no matter how close the relationship is, it can't compare to her own, as long as the relationship is decent!

Jia She used it with Li Mo for dinner, and seeing that Li Mo didn't intend to keep him, he could only sigh silently in his heart, and went back to his study in the outer courtyard to rest!
