[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Jia Lian and Wang Ren had lunch late, and they didn't intend to eat any more, but after the dishes were served, the taste reminded Jia Lian of his impression of the Planting Flower House, so he asked someone to prepare bowls and chopsticks for him.

Originally, he wanted to taste a few mouthfuls casually, but after eating, he couldn't stop. Jia Lian knew how to restrain himself a little, and Wang Ren directly gave himself a solid meal.

It was late in the evening when the leftovers were removed. Several people were chatting and suddenly heard the noise downstairs. Wang Ren's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, "It's started!"

Liu Ding's servant immediately stepped forward and pushed open the windows next to them. The windows looked like floor-to-ceiling windows. After pushing them open, their private room was almost facing the stage downstairs, with a very good view at a glance.

Everyone else sat by the bed, and Jia Lian also sat closer.Seeing that the hostess on the stage was not the bustard he imagined, but a mature and beautiful woman who still had a charm, and the reaction of the guests in the audience, it was obvious that everyone knew her, so they were a little curious: "This person who is it?"

"You don't even know this!" Wang Ren looked downstairs intently and didn't turn his head, but he still kept on running Jia Lian on his lips: "There is no one who is more behind-the-scenes than you."

Liu Ding has a good relationship with Jia Lian, and he didn't laugh at his question, but explained to him: "I heard that it was because of her that the Flower Planting House became famous in the capital more than ten years ago, so now everyone calls her Mrs. Planting Flowers. "

"Already married?" Seeing that she is holding her hair in a bun, she is different from the other girls in the planting flower house.

"We were married, and then divorced. Mrs. Shihua is probably the honorific name everyone gave her. I don't know when it slowly started to be called."

Jia Lian looked at Mrs. Shihua with surprise in his eyes, and Liu Ding followed his gaze to look at the person in the middle of the stage, and said, "It is said that her husband did not respect and love Mrs. Shihua as he promised before marriage. So the owner of this planting flower house let her go back to the flower planting house, and she never left after that.”

Jia Lian knew just by imagination, in this era that is not very tolerant of women, how courageous a brothel woman should be to marry and reconcile, and such a woman with a story seems to have a different kind of charm that attracts everyone's attention , not at all inferior to those young and more beautiful women...

The subsequent performances did not appeal to Jia Lian, he was not adulterated and had no artistic appreciation ability, but it was a little strange to see that Wang Ren was so serious about discussing which girl was good at what with Liu Dingniu Qingfeng said: " Does my cousin have a deep research on singing and dancing musical instruments?"

Wang Ren shook his head directly, and said as a matter of course: "Obviously I like girls!"

Well, Jia Lian felt that he was thinking too much. Wang Ren was frank and straightforward that would never disappoint, which was also an advantage to a certain extent.

Jia Lian only knew one girl, Manqing, and when she came on stage, he paid more attention to her.Hearing that she was performing dance skills today, Jia Lian was still a little surprised, and then saw that the other people upstairs and downstairs were the same as him, so he knew that he remembered correctly, she was indeed praised by everyone for her outstanding piano skills.

When Wang Ren and the others heard that the girl was going to dance, they immediately forgot what they were talking about just now, and they all moved closer to the window to have a look.Jia Lian was worried that he would make a fool of himself by being squeezed out, so he didn't squeeze with them, so he backed out silently.

Sitting in the back eating melon seeds, only the sound of music and the cheers of the guests could be heard in his ears. Jia Lian himself made up a version of the ancient brothel in which fans cheered for the concert. No matter how he thought about it, he found it funny.

But Wang Ren accidentally turned his head and saw his future brother-in-law behind him alone, he just felt that there was something wrong with his brain, otherwise why would he let the beautiful girl look silly here.

It's just that he was a dandy, and he still knew that it was good for his brother-in-law to not be a womanizer, so he didn't go up to tease him, but turned his head and continued to watch the fairy-like dance with other people.

It is impossible for Jia Lian to stay here for the night. Even though it is a little late, he is still planning to go back. In fact, it is a bit rude for him not to come back to pay his respects to the elders immediately after returning to Beijing. It is just that he has done everything and waited until tomorrow to pay his respects. Make up for it with a lower attitude, the old lady shouldn't be so angry... maybe?

During this time, Jia Lian had gotten used to getting up early in the morning, and was woken up early the next day. It was a bit difficult to get up, but he was thinking about the first greeting after many months, so naturally he couldn't let himself continue to lie. bed.

Originally, he wanted to show his sincerity by arriving earlier, but who knew that the two sisters Yuanchun and Yingchun were already there when he went, greeted his grandmother and greeted the two of them, trying not to look into the eyes of the old lady.

But Mother Jia couldn't easily let Jia Lian go. Seeing that he had started talking to his sisters, she couldn't help but choked, "Grandmother almost forgot that there is such a grandson as you!"

The old lady is usually very kind and kind to other grandchildren, but when she talks to Jia Lian, her tone is always different. On weekdays, Jia Lian will never say a word back like this, so Yuan Chun secretly watched the two of them Cover your mouth and laugh.

Jia Lian secretly winked at her, Yuan Chun nodded, and brought Ying Chun forward to act coquettishly with her grandmother. Jia's mother is old and smart, so it is impossible not to see the little tricks between the two, but she is happy to see the relationship between her grandchildren and grandchildren. Yes, so in the end it was to give Yuanchun face and stop criticizing Jia Lian.

Seeing this, Jia Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, a woman came in at the door and said to Jia Mu, "Madam, Master Baoyu is awake."

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Hurry up and bring him in!"

Immediately another woman walked in and went to the old lady with a child in her arms. Jia Lian saw that there were still two small arms scratching around outside the swaddle, so she poked her head curiously.

The child has round eyes, fair skin and plays well on his own. Anyone who looks at it will like it.The old lady didn't hide her love for Baoyu at all. She held him in her arms and kissed him for a while, then said to Jia Lian as if offering a treasure: "Baoyu has grown rapidly in the past few months. Come and see him, don't you?" Much prettier than when she was born?"

The old lady put Baoyu on the couch. Jia Lian came over and squeezed his soft little hands, and made strange noises to tease him.

Jia's mother watched the interaction between the two brothers, and said with a smile: "Baoyu is really well-behaved, and he must be a filial child in the future!"

Jia Lian thought that his filial piety in the future could be seen at such an age, and his filial piety was too subjective.Immediately remembering that Baoyu was brought here directly after waking up, he asked a little strangely: "Has Baoyu been brought here so early?"

"I took Baoyu to my side and raised it."

Jia Mu's tone was normal, and she didn't seem to think there was any problem at all.It's not easy for Jia Lian to comment, but his own child will never be willing to leave his side, no matter what entanglements there are.

After a while, other people from the first room and the second room also came, and Jia Lian greeted them one by one.After Mrs. Wang and Jiamu said hello, they went straight to Baoyu, looked around carefully, and then returned to their seats. Li Wan smiled softly and followed her mother-in-law all the time.

Jia Lian noticed that the old lady's expression was a little worried, so he and Yuanchun Yingchun went to play with Baoyu on the other side of the couch, completely ignoring what they were trying to do.

Baoyu has just started to learn how to turn over. After eating and drinking, she has been moving around dishonestly. With great difficulty, her legs twisted around.After repeating this several times, Baoyu's temper suddenly came up, and he started howling loudly while lying there motionless.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang immediately stopped talking and turned their attention to this side. Mrs. Wang came over quickly and immediately asked, "What's the matter? Why is Baoyu crying?"

Immediately, Mother Jia also came over and said to the nanny, "Did you pee?"

The nanny shook her head, and then looked at Jia Lian with some embarrassment. Jia Lian was a little speechless at the excitement of the two, but Baoyu now forgot the obstacle just now and continued to turn over there, but it was indeed him who made it. There is no reason to let the nanny Taking the blame, he explained: "I just played with Baoyu and forbade him to turn over. He was a little anxious."

Seeing that there were no tears on Baoyu's face, and that she didn't cry after those few sounds, Jia's mother knew that she had made a big fuss, so she smiled and said, "It's fine. I thought there was something wrong with Baoyu."

Mrs. Wang also nodded, but her actions didn't seem to be all right. Mother Jia had already turned around, but she couldn't help looking back at Jia Baoyu worriedly, causing Jia Lian to raise her eyebrows.

Yuan Chun sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere, and immediately whispered to Jia Lian, "Second brother Lian, mother is just too nervous about Baoyu, so don't take it to heart."

Jia Lian shrugged. Boys were probably hated by other children's parents when they were young. It's not something worth paying attention to. If it's just because of this, there is a gap between a little doll, it's his heart small.

But this morning, he noticed that the atmosphere between his grandmother and his second aunt was a bit strange. When he left, he motioned Yuan Chun to come with him, and then asked her in a low voice while there was no one around: "What's going on between your mother and grandmother recently?" ?"

Jia Zhu had told Yuan Chun earlier that she would go to Lian's second brother if she had anything to do, so when Jia Lian asked about it, she immediately said honestly: "If there is something to do, it's just Baoyu being carried into the yard by her grandmother, right? Mother seemed unwilling and worried, and asked me to take good care of him."

"Why didn't Second Aunt refuse if she didn't want to?"

"This……"

Yuan Chun bit her lip and didn't make a sound. Jia Lian thought she was still young, so she was really embarrassed, so she nodded and said casually: "Your brother is not at home, comfort your mother and grandmother when you are free, and go to you more often." Sister-in-law sit there, do you know?"

Yuan Chun seriously agreed to Jia Lian's order, "Yuan Chun knows, second brother Lian can rest assured."

Although Jia Lian didn't really want to be troubled, but seeing how well-behaved she was, she still left a sentence before leaving: "Someone has something to ask someone to come to me."

"it is good."
