Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Before Li Mo had a good meal, some of the women's family lived far away, and they left one after another. As one of the hosts, Li Mo could only get up to see off the guests.

Speaking of the previous women's family didn't have a deep impression of Li Mo, they just stayed at the level of being the stepmother of Jia's mansion, and she was never in charge of the family, just letting people know that there was such a person in Jia's mansion.

However, through such a contact today, it can be seen that Mrs. Xing's neither humble nor overbearing attitude is a bit inconsistent with the legendary stingy and stingy appearance!

Looking at her generous appearance, it seems that the rumors are not credible. As for why there are such rumors outside, as everyone's wife, I understand-it is nothing more than those housekeeper disputes. Housewife.

But as soon as this rumor surfaced, people in Jia's mansion could say that Mrs. Xing's temperament was really not suitable, and that's why they let the second wife's wife or her daughter-in-law be the housekeeper.

As long as there is such an excuse, it is difficult for outsiders to say anything about it.

After Li Mo, Wang Xifeng and the others sent the female family members away one after another, everyone was very tired. As for those people over there who were arguing about going to Jia Bao's first house, I don't care, let them make trouble, as long as It's fine without any big creases.

He ordered his servants to clean up the rest of the mess. As for the reconciliation of accounts, naturally, Wang Xifeng, who was in charge of the housekeeping, would do it.

After such a toss, Li Mo has almost digested what he ate at the banquet just now. Li Mo ordered someone to have dinner again at his place, and called Hengan and the others who had a day off for Jia Baoyu's marriage today, and asked What did they do today?

Hengan and the others are not very old, so there is nothing they can do to help them. Today, they played in the garden with Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and some other people of the same age.

Heng An said to Li Mo:

"Mother, when we invited Lan'er to play together tomorrow, he said - he has started to recite the three-character scriptures every day, and his mother keeps him reciting and practicing big characters every day, so there is no time to come out." played!"

Speaking of this, Hengan showed sympathy, and was very grateful that his mother was not as strict as Mrs. Zhu was to Lan'er. After finishing his homework every day, he could still play with Brother Brown for a while.

Li Mo's study requirements for Hengan and Jia Zong have always been completed according to the progress assigned by the master. As long as the homework assigned by the master is completed every day, Hengan and the others will arrange the rest of the time.

As long as Hengan and the others played well, Li Mo would never interfere with how they played and who they played with.

As for Jia Amnesty, he didn't even know much about the imperial examinations, so he naturally tended to listen to his master's arrangements.

If Jia Amnesty had free time, he would occasionally call Heng An and Jia Zong over, take a book, and teach them a lesson based on the text, to see how well they recited it.

Li Mo pointed Hengan's forehead with his fingers, and said helplessly:

"At this time, you know that mother is good, right? Then who thought that mother had too high demands on him and too much homework before?

Your sister-in-law Zhu is so strict with Lan'er now, it's for Lan'er's good. From now on, Lan'er can only rely on his own efforts to be successful.

Speaking of the future, Heng'an and Zong'er will be the same in the future, don't expect the Rongguo Mansion to give you any help, the situation in the mansion is not very good now, and your future can only depend on your own hard work. "

Hengan and the others are now six or seven years old, and in this relatively precocious ancient times, they probably know what Li Mo meant.

They all nodded sensibly, indicating that they understood.

After asking all the questions that should be asked, and saying all that should be said to them, Li Mo drove the two children back to review their homework after dinner together.

As for Jia She, he was still drinking and chatting with relatives and friends at the Rongxi Hall, watching the theater, finally had a chance to get together, how could everyone be willing to end it so early.

In the evening, Li Mo thought about what Xing Dequan asked him to do today, and told Xiaomei to send a message outside the mansion, asking them to help Xing Xiuyan find a few suitable candidates for him to choose.

As for Xing Dequan's plan to ask Jia Amnesty to help mobilize him, I should mention it to Jia Amnesty tomorrow, talk to him, delay for a few days, and tell him that the matter has not been completed.

There is a solution to all these, and there is nothing to worry about recently. Li Mo lay back on the bed very relaxedly, intending to practice the nameless exercise a few times, and then went to sleep with peace of mind.

After thinking about it, tomorrow I have to go to Jia Mu's place early to take over the tea ceremony for the newcomers and give the newcomers a meeting gift.

After sleeping until dawn, Li Mo saw that it was still very early, so he planned to have a good breakfast and then go to the Rongqing Hall.

Li Mo's current life is only about eating and drinking. When he has time, he will read travel notes, medical books, and occasionally do some embroidery. Life can be as happy as it is.

After eating the breakfast prepared in the small kitchen, Li Mo rested for a while, and then walked slowly.

When he walked in, Wang Xifeng was already there telling Jia Mu interesting stories about Jia Baoyu's wedding yesterday, which made Jia Mu laugh from ear to ear. laughter.

Li Mo smiled and went forward to salute Jiamu, found a seat under Jiamu and sat down, and listened to the interesting story Wang Xifeng said with great interest:

"Old Ancestor, you didn't know yesterday. When the granddaughter-in-law was entertaining guests outside the Rongxi Hall, many people praised the poems written by our Baoyu as very talented, and even those old scholars nodded repeatedly after hearing it." , Baoyu is very talented!"

Jia's mother, and Mrs. Wang who just came over, felt honored when they heard that Jia Baoyu's poems were praised by so many people, and they knew that their own Baoyu was a very extraordinary person.

Mother Jia saw Mrs. Wang coming, and looked at why the men in the mansion hadn't come here at this point. It was a little strange, so she asked a little strangely:

"Why haven't you seen the boss, Zheng'er, and the others come over? Let someone hurry up and remind them. The newcomers will come over later. What can we do if we don't hurry up?"

Wang Xifeng hastily sent a few people to leave Jia Amnesty and them separately, urging them to come to Rongqing hall as soon as possible.

At this time, Sanchun and Li Wan also came over. As for the children Heng An, Jia Zong, Jia Lan, and Jia Huan, they had already been playing in the next room.

The maid on Jia Baoyu's side went back and forth to Jiamu and the others, saying that Jia Baoyu and the others had already set off and would be there in a while.

Hearing that the newcomers were coming, all the Jia family members in Rongqing Hall found their seats and sat down, drinking tea quietly and waiting for them to come.

Jia Baoyu led Xue Baochai through the door and walked in after passing the announcement. He saw that all the people in Jia's mansion had arrived today in a particularly complete manner, and they rushed towards them with such an aura that Jia Baoyu was not used to it for a while.

Yuanyang and the others put two futons in front of Jia Baoyu and the others, and waited for Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai to kneel down and salute Jia Mu and the second-fang couple to tea.

Sitting at the top, Jia Mu sighed with relief:

"Baoyu is married now, so let's live a good life with Baochai in the future!"

After speaking, Yuanyang asked Yuanyang to give the jade pendant and head face prepared earlier to Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai respectively.

"Baoyu/Baochai, thank you for your grandmother's teaching." After accepting the meeting gift from Jiamu and thanking Jiamu, the two turned around and offered tea to Jia Zheng and the others.

"Sir/Madam, please drink tea!"

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang took the tea from Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai and took a symbolic sip.

Nodding to signal to the maids around him to deliver the gifts they had prepared long ago, Jia Zheng said solemnly with a straight face:

"Baoyu, you will be an adult after you get married, you can stop messing around in the future, and you have to take on your responsibility as a man, do you understand?"

Jia Baoyu was very ignorant and didn't quite understand the meaning of his father's words, but he had developed a long-term habit of not daring to speak loudly when he saw Jia Zheng, so let him respond immediately:

"Yes, master, Baoyu knows."

Mrs. Wang was afraid that Jia Zheng would not be happy for Jia Baoyu on such a happy day, so she quickly took over the conversation and said to Xue Baochai:

"Baochai, you are now the daughter-in-law of our Jia family. Remember to take good care of Baoyu for me in the future. He is still young. If there is anything wrong, please help me persuade him."

Xue Baochai replied very respectfully to her aunt who has now become her mother-in-law:

"Madam, don't worry, Baochai will try to persuade Baoyu more in the future, but Baoyu still listens to my ancestors and wives the most. If I can't persuade Baoyu, I still need your ancestors and wives to persuade him. .”

Jia Baoyu is the darling of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang. If Xue Baochai dared to dominate him as soon as they got married, the two of them would definitely not be happy in their hearts. Xue Baochai spoke very knowledgeably and interestingly.
