[Red Mansions] Why does Xiaoye want to whitewash

Remembering that the original owner seemed to have a daughter who was born on Qixi Festival called "Qiaojie", Jia Lian felt that it was very appropriate to have a nickname, so she happily decided on her nickname. I chose, and took the word Peng.

And the news that Jia Lian's wife gave birth to a fat girl for him spread throughout his circle of friends, and he couldn't wait for the third time. People came to visit with gifts one after another, and they saw that she was indeed a lucky girl. , Only then did he tease a few words and put down his things contentedly and left.

Jia Lian was very speechless, but seeing things and this group of people had no malicious intentions, he forgave them for the time being.He didn't want to think that even if he hadn't been in the capital for a few years since then, the rumor that his daughter was a fat girl hadn't dissipated, which made him feel a little regretful, and he should punish these people at this time.

It's just that at this time Jia's family still blindly thinks that Qiaojie is celebrating, especially Jia's mother, who likes a rich figure, and after Qiaojie smiles unconsciously, the old lady always thinks about her.

Sister Qiao has a good temper, but the girl grows fatter and fatter, and the strong nanny is tired even if she carries her so far to the old lady's yard, so Jia Lian occasionally takes her to her grandmother's place in a sedan chair, but even In this way, when he got off the sedan chair, he also felt numb in his hands and legs, which made people dumbfounded.

But he did such physical work, and the old lady kept talking about him as a father who had nothing to do. Jia Lian was speechless, but still had to accept his fate to do the consignment work.

However, apart from her gluttonous appetite and big temper, this girl is very good-tempered. Except for her loud voice when she is hungry, she is usually very quiet.

Wang Xifeng seldom hugged her after she was confinement. It's not that she doesn't like her daughter, it's just too heavy. She is weak, and her back hurts after holding her for a while. Naturally, she should hug her as little as possible.

After having her second child, the eldest sister lay beside her and played with her younger sister's fat hand every day. Wang Xifeng occasionally glanced at her with a smile, but Jia Lian was still not at home at all times.

This year, the old lady is in a good mood, her granddaughter has a good marriage, and her daughter from far away in Yangzhou has sent a letter saying that she has given birth to a son. The Jia family is currently in harmony. The only regret is Jia Lian's wandering around all day long. .

Jia Lian was used to it, and she always listened to it. Unexpectedly, this time, Jia's mother made a big move and directly donated an official to Jia Lian on her own initiative. When she told Jia Lian, she had already taken out the money. There must be no way to get it back. If you don't take the money, you will be blind.

"You are really willing to give up such a large sum of money!" Jia Lian thought of the pained expression on the second aunt's face when the old lady announced it just now. It is impossible for him to be so rich.

Naturally, Mother Jia knew that Jia Lian didn't want to go, otherwise she wouldn't have to spend money and keep it from Jia Lian, it was money from her private house.He then said earnestly: "Zhu Er's studies are progressing, and she is taught by a good teacher. When the time comes to enter the imperial examination, you can't even have a half-job, right?"

"The grandson will not be jealous of Big Brother Zhu."

"I still think you're jealous!" Mother Jia rolled his eyes at him and muttered, "Maybe you can be self-motivated if you're jealous."

"The grandson heard it." Jia Lian shook his head helplessly, "You are wrong, how can you expect your grandson to be jealous?"

"Anyway, you have to do this official position if you don't want to do it. If you dare to waste my money, I will..." Jia Lian looked at the old lady expectantly. Unexpectedly, Jia Mu "just" for a long time, and then said: "I will give you Dad get out!"

Jia Lian thought he couldn't be happier!But it would be unfilial for him to say this, he could only look at his grandmother expectantly, but only got a blank stare.He shrugged and stood up from his chair as if to say goodbye.

Jia Mu was anxious, and asked: "Are you going to do it or not?"

"Guess!" Jia Lian didn't say whether she would like to do it or not, but just walked away and let the old lady go by herself.

Wang Xifeng knew that her grandmother donated an official to Jia Lian, of course she was happy, and the officials who came for nothing did not need to pay for it themselves, so why not do it?He stared at Jia Lian without blinking, for fear that he might refuse.

Jia Lian actually had some ideas on the way back, seeing her so happy at this time, he deliberately asked her: "That's why you want me to be an official?"

"Think about our daughter!" Wang Xifeng didn't say that she was willing, but only pushed it to the child, "You have an official position and our daughter's future marriage can be arranged better, not to mention marrying a champion like a big sister, but also Almost a little?"

"The truth is always with you." Jia Lian leaned on the couch, twitched Qiao's hand with her finger, then turned to ask her eldest daughter, "Eldest sister, do you want to go out and play?"

The eldest sister who was more and more used to being teased by her father raised her eyes, looked at her father, and said, "Just as long as you are happy." Then she waited silently for him to speak.

Jia Lian nodded her nose, "It's boring."

Wang Xifeng couldn't hold back, and when he heard Jia Lian's words, he couldn't help being suspicious and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Didn't you also read Meng Lao's travel notes? Mountains and rivers, vast sea and sky... you don't want to see it?" Jia Lian tempted her: "Isn't it donating an official? What's the point of being in Beijing? Let's just go outside for a walk. ?”

"You want to release it?!"

Jia Lian nodded, and said with a smile: "Isn't this a good excuse? Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to get out easily. Wouldn't it be boring to live in this capital forever?"

"Grandmother won't agree." Wang Xifeng herself was a little bit resistant, she didn't enjoy the glory and wealth, so what to do when she went out to suffer, "It's not much better to get a job in Beijing than to go out!"

Jia Lian didn't argue with her, thinking that Wang Xifeng also looked yearning when he read the travel notes before, so he read it in front of her when he had nothing to do. I find him very annoying.

After a few days, I couldn't take it anymore, and said resignedly: "It's up to you! Marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog! If you want to go out, go together! But it has nothing to do with me when grandma gets angry!"

"Of course I won't push it on you, a woman!"

The old lady can make her own opinions, and Jia Lian naturally does too. If she wants to wait for an idle job in the capital, she doesn't know when there will be a vacancy. Naturally, there is no official job outside to arrange. Besides, he didn't ask for a good place, the only requirement It is not too barren, and the scenery is better.

Because gifts were also given and relationships were entrusted, the appointment of officials was faster than expected. It happened that the weather was already warm, and God's will let him have a smooth journey.

It's just that Jia's mother couldn't believe it when she looked at the appointment letter.She was asked to find a job in the capital at the beginning, but now that the appointment has become a county magistrate, she looked suspiciously at Jia Lian, "Did you do something behind my back?"

Mrs. Wang originally thought that the old lady spent so much money to donate to Jia Lian to be too partial, but when she learned that Jia Lian was going to be released as a small county magistrate, she couldn't care less about schadenfreude. come to grief.

And Jia Lian blinked innocently, "Look at what you said, isn't grandson thinking about your high expectations, and wants to do something practical?"

"Don't let me harm the people!"

"That's why..." Jia Lian's voice was a little hurt, "Even if grandson is not a good official, he won't do harm to the world! Besides, grandson is not short of money, so what harm can he do!"

"I've made you so confused!" Mother Jia stroked her chest herself, and then brought the subject back to the topic: "My parents are not far away, and you've traveled so far, when will you come back?!"

"Aunt Min gave birth to a cousin, and she is not in good health. Her grandson works near Yangzhou, so I can drop by to see..."

"Yangzhou?" Mother Jia was taken away again, picked up the appointment and took a look at it. She didn't notice that it was in Yangzhou just now, but it was indeed in Yangzhou. She immediately asked, "Where is this in Yangzhou? Is it far from Yangzhou?" ?”

Jia Lian stood up and said with a smile: "If you ask your grandson, your grandson won't know, but you can definitely drop by to have a look. Now you can prepare some things to bring to your aunt in advance, and your grandson will go back too." Let Feng'er pack up."

Jia's mother is also getting old, and her concentration is not as concentrated as before. At this time, she naturally thought of what to bring to Min'er when she was being taken, but when Jia Lian left, she realized that she was being fooled, and immediately roared: "Jia Lian!"

Knowing that Jia Lian had such thoughts, Wang Xifeng had already started planning what to bring out. At this time, when Jia Lian's appointment came, she immediately moved the people in the courtyard.

When Jia Zhu heard about this, she hurried back from the academy. When she saw Jia Lian, she slapped her face and asked, "Why did you let him go out all of a sudden? Or go to a place as far away as Yangzhou? Living a good life in the capital is not enough." ?"

"Young master is rich, so you can live a good life outside!" Jia Lian grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, and then pushed the plate in front of Jia Zhu, "When the time comes, you can help me look after my parents, they still have a good impression of you Yes, if something goes wrong, you won’t stop listening if you try to persuade me.”

"You are determined to go out."

Jia Lian put the melon seeds on the table. At first, he really wanted to get rid of such a drag on the Jia family, but the reputation of doing such things these days is not very good. Now his attitude has changed a bit, but he can go out if he has a fair chance. After years of wandering, he naturally has to thank his grandmother for the opportunity.

But that was also because Jia Zhu was guarding the Rongguo Mansion, so he decided to leave so readily. Of course, he didn't want anything to happen to the Rongguo Mansion to bring him bad luck.

So Jia Lian patted Jia Zhu on the shoulder and said, "Although there won't be much room for promotion if you donate an official, you can't put the entire Jia family on you."

"Lian'er..."

"Don't be too moved, the main thing is to play, anyway, I'm sure I won't cause any trouble."

Jia Zhu choked, and threw a melon seed on Jia Lian, "I'm going to be scolding when I'm leaving!"

Anyway, it was a certainty for him to go out, but soon there was a new problem. Wang Xifeng would definitely follow him out to take care of him, but the children were still young, not to mention Mother Jia, even Mrs. Jia Shexing They are reluctant to let the eldest sister and the chubby Qiao sister go out.

Another sister Qiao is still young, if she gets sick on the road, the husband and wife will have to regret it.

Although Wang Xifeng didn't really want to go out at first, she definitely wanted to follow Jia Lian. At this time, listening to the elders brainwashing one after another, she couldn't help but worry about Miss Qiao.

With a bit of reluctance, she asked with difficulty: "How about... we leave Miss Qiao at home?"

"Aren't you afraid that if we go for a few years, our daughter will know us when we come back?"

Of course Wang Xifeng didn't want to, and she is a decisive person. Since she didn't want her daughter not to kiss her in the future, she should naturally think about how to keep the whole family together. Go south!"

When Jia Lian heard this, she remembered that in order to train the maid for the eldest sister, Qin Nanny seemed to have dragged an old doctor into his house, and said: "Leave this to me, I will discuss it with Qin Nanny, you take care of it." something."

"Okay." Jia Lian would not easily agree to things that Jia Lian couldn't do, so Wang Xifeng went to do what he could.

But Jia Lian turned around and went to look for Nanny Qin. After hearing this, Nanny Qin was a little worried and said, "It's good to be able to return to the roots of the fallen leaves, but they are not young, and it may be inconvenient to travel so far."

"It's not that I don't have money. It's more comfortable to find a big boat to take Feng'er and the children." Jia Lian also knew that it was inconvenient to travel in this age, so naturally he wouldn't save that money. "If the old doctor is willing, I will definitely I will take good care of them, and I won't force others, so you just take my words and you must take good care of them as much as possible."

In fact, it is of course better not to follow the bumps, but since Jia Lian promised to provide them with pensions at the beginning, he naturally wanted to consider everything he could think of for them, but, "Even if I don't want to, I will ask Big Brother Zhu to help watching over."

Nanny Qin nodded, with a smile on her face for the first time, "I'll thank Second Master on behalf of these old fellows, after all, it's a burden to take them out together."

Before, Nanny Qin and Nanny Yin wanted to go out together, and now there were other people involved, so they asked Second Mistress for a vacation to go outside, and those of her old buddies whose ancestral home were outside were naturally willing to follow.After all, if there is a chance, of course they still want to return to their roots and bury their bones in their hometown, even though they have basically forgotten what their hometown looks like...

So in the end, the news that Nanny Qin brought back was that, together with the old imperial doctor and his wife, a nanny and an old gentleman from the palace would follow Jia Lian to the south.

There was another old nanny, she was a sad person, and she just wanted to stay in the capital. After Jia Lian learned about it, she thought about it and came to Jia's mother.

"You said you came out of the palace?"

Jia Lian nodded, "She's not a noble person to wait on, but since she knows Mother Qin, her character is absolutely fine, and the rules are not bad, so my grandson thinks it's better to let her come in. Be a nurturing nurse for the girls, and take care of the rest of the world by the way."

Mother Jia looked at Jia Lian with very complicated eyes. Before she knew it, this grandson was already in charge of the outside world. The nanny who came out of the palace was so easy to invite, although it was not as good as Qin Nanny and Yin Nanny. He also has some fame in the palace, but his ability is already obvious, isn't it?

"As long as you are willing to stay in the mansion, I will ask, and I will hand over the Rongguo Mansion to your husband and wife."
