Mrs. Xing of the Red Chamber

Xiaoyin smiled and stepped forward and said: "Yes, Madam asked the slaves to wait for Master Hengan and Master Zong after school! Madam specially made a hot pot today, saying that she wants you and Master Zong to eat together What about hot pot!"

Hengan was very happy when he heard that Li Mo asked Xiaoyin to invite him and Brother Brown to have dinner together!

Speaking of which, Li Mo did not often dine with Heng An and Jia Zong, but occasionally Li Mo would dine with Heng An when he was free, or when he was in the mood. Normally, the two of them would dine in their own rooms. of.

Li Mo had been busy digging tunnels for the past two years, and his day and night were a bit upside down. Except for the unavoidable daily routine of going to Jia Mu's to pay his respects, the rest of the daytime was almost spent on supplementing sleep.

At most, he would accompany Heng An during dinner. For Heng An, since he was sensible, his mother Li Mo has been invisible from time to time.

Often when Hengan wakes up in the morning, Li Mo is still asleep if he doesn’t have to go to Jia Mu’s to greet him. go to bed!

Sometimes Hengan felt that his mother slept for more than ten hours a day, how could he be able to sleep, and Hengan himself woke up after sleeping for five hours at most!

Sometimes during the day, even if my mother is with me, most of the time I let myself play with toys or learn to read by myself. My mother is lying on the recliner on one side to read a book or slowly embroidering patterns beside her.

Heng An has seen Li Mo like this since he was a child, so he didn't feel that his mother didn't love him or anything.

It was rare for my mother to accompany me to have dinner today, Hengan was still a child after all, so his smile suddenly became much brighter.

Hengan said happily: "Is it true? Mother is actually free to accompany us today, and even made hot pot for me, hehe, it's really great!"

Turning around, he said to Jia Zong:

"Brother Zong, did you hear that? Mother asked us to have dinner together. I haven't accompanied mother to dinner for a while! Except yesterday when I had a dinner for my second uncle's birthday."

The women Jia Zong usually comes into contact with most in the mansion are only the nurses around him, and he has no impression of his biological mother, and sometimes unconsciously regards the eldest wife as his own mother.

Jia Zong often wonders, if his mother is alive, will he be able to treat him like his wife treats Hengan!

Although the eldest wife, Hengan's mother, is usually indifferent to herself and not very enthusiastic, but for Jia Zong, who grew up as a big family bastard who was not valued, she was the only one who did not look down on him. people.

Normally, even the servants in the mansion would ignore him, but Jia Zong could tell in the eyes of the eldest wife that the eldest wife only treated him as an ordinary nephew.

He does not skimp on daily life and food and clothing expenses. He is usually not enthusiastic about himself, but he respects him enough, which is something that Jia Zong could never get in Jia's mansion.

Based on this alone, Jia Zong was very willing to get close to the eldest wife, and Jia Zong was also very happy to hear that the eldest wife specially invited him to have dinner with him.

He also echoed Heng An and said: "Yeah, it's been a long time since I had dinner with my wife! Heng An, let's go back quickly, don't make my wife wait too long."

"Okay, then let's go back quickly, lest mother wait in a hurry! Sister Xiaoyin, let's go." Hengan hurriedly took Jia Zong's hand, and kicked towards Li Mo on the snow. to the yard.

Seeing the two young masters walking in such a hurry, Xiaoyin was afraid that they would fall, so he hurriedly said: "Two young masters, walk slowly, Madam is not in a hurry, be careful not to fall! This is a snowy ground But it's slippery."

When Li Mo saw Heng An and Jia Zong coming together, snowflakes fell on the hats of the two children.Look at the two of them panting.

Li Mo said in surprise: "Why are you two walking in such a hurry? Look at the snowflakes all over your body, why don't you take off your hat and coat quickly, come over and drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your body first, or you will be sick if you catch a cold .”

Heng An and Jia Zong obediently took off their hats and coats, which had already melted a little, and Heng An said happily:

"Mother, mother, I heard from sister Xiaoyin that you made delicious hot pot, right?"

Li Mo came over, touched Hengan's hair and clothes with his hands, and found that the snow water hadn't seeped into it, so he said with confidence:

"Yeah, Mom found out that we haven't had hot pot together for a long time, so let's make a meal to satisfy our cravings while we're in the mood."

Looking at Jia Zong next to him, Li Mo said: "Zong'er will have a good meal with us later, seeing you are cold, hurry up and drink a bowl of ginger soup with Hengan, and then go to the kang to roast Let's warm up!"

Seeing that after the two drank the ginger soup, the three of them sat down on the kang, Li Mo brought some snacks from the coffee table, there was still a while before dinner, and let them have some snacks to rest their stomachs first.

Li Mo played with Heng An and Jia Zong for a while.Thinking that the hour was about the same, I simply asked Wang Shanbao's family to go to Jia She's to see if he came back from outside?

If you come back, invite him to have dinner together. Speaking of which, Li Mo hasn't invited Jia She to his side for a long time.

If there was something wrong, Li Mo would just send someone to talk to him. Jia Amnesty had also accepted Li Mo's proposals a few times before.

It would be good to just take this opportunity to express my gratitude, so that next time when Li Mo asks Jia Amnesty for something, he will be annoyed and refuse to agree.

Following Li Mo's order, Wang Shanbao's family went directly to Jia She's outer courtyard, saw Li Da, a servant next to Jia She, at the door, and directly explained the purpose of coming, and asked if the elder had come back?

Li Da knew that it was Madam Xing who invited the Elder Master, so how dare he stop him!Said: "The elder has come back and is resting inside!"

When Wang Shanbao's family heard that the old man had come back, he handed over a purse with a smile, and said to Li Da: "Then can you go in and tell the old man that Madam made a hot pot by herself and would like to invite the old man We used to have dinner together, I don't know what the old man means?"

Li Da took the purse, and then smiled and agreed: "Okay, then you wait here for a while, I will go in and report to the old man, and it depends on the old man's opinion if we can't make it through!"

Wang Shanbao thanked with a smile: "Then thank you very much, and I will definitely say a few words of kindness for you in front of my wife later."

Li Da, Jia She's personal servant, heard what Wang Shanbao said, and then gently pushed open the door of Jia She's room and walked in.

Jia Amnesty was half lying on the pit, playing with the antiques he had just brought back today, when he saw Li Da come in, he asked directly:

"Who were you talking to just now? What's the matter?"

Li Da respectfully replied:

"Going back to the master, it's from Wang Shanbao's house, Madam's mother. She said that Madam asked her to come over to see if the master is back. Madam made hot pot with her own hands. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"Oh, is that so? It's very strange that Madam is actually interested today.

Go, why not go!You go to Wang Shanbao's family and tell her to tell Madam, I will come over later. "

Li Mo's craftsmanship is actually very ordinary, but after adding the pool water of the space, the taste will become particularly good.

Jia She fell in love with it after eating it a few times, but Li Mo didn't cook often and invited him over for dinner.

Now that Li Mo finally cooks in person again, of course Jia She doesn't want to miss it, who knows when he will be able to eat again next time.

Li Da was still a little surprised when Jia She agreed to go over. Usually, Jia She treats his wife indifferently.

Unexpectedly, this time a group of people came to invite the master to have a meal, and the master agreed without hesitation. It seems that he will try to be more respectful to his wife in the future.

"Yes, the slave will go and tell her the news." After speaking, Li Da turned around, closed the door and went out.

Wang Shanbao's family got the news that the old man agreed to have a meal in the past. After thanking Li Da, they came back and reported the news to Li Mo.

Li Mo was also a little surprised when he heard that Jia She had passed the meeting. He was just trying to get someone to ask him, but he didn't expect Jia She to agree to come.

But Li Mo also showed a very happy look on the face, saying:

"Really, that's good! Then you go to the kitchen and ask them to make another meal. If there is not enough food, bring it over later."

When they were ordered to go down to make preparations, Li Mo also felt that he got up from the kang and ordered the people to tidy up the dining room quickly.

Heng An and Jia Zong were also very excited when they heard the news that their father would come to accompany them for dinner later!

It had been a long time since they had stayed with their father properly, and this time it was rare to have a meal together, and it would be great to take this opportunity to get close to his father.

When Jia Amnesty came over, Li Mo's room had already been tidied up, and even Heng An and Jia Zong rushed into the room to change into new clothes and came out.

Li Mo cleaned up the house by himself, at least to make the house look tidy, and to show his joy for Jia She's arrival.

Why are these two brats so excited, it seems that they have never seen Jia She, and they can often see them in normal times!

Seeing Jia She come in, Li Mo hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to take the cloak Jia She took off, handed it to Xiaomei who was beside him, and said:

"Master, you are here, we are waiting for you to come and have a meal together! Master, are you cold, come and have a cup of hot tea."

Jia Amnesty was also very happy to see Li Mo, Heng An and Jia Zong, and said with a smile:

"No need, I drank tea just now, and I'm still waiting to taste your handicrafts later! No, as soon as I heard that you made the hot pot this time, I hurried over here!"
