The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

On the second day, it was Mingyue and Wenfei who followed Jia Baoyu to greet Jia Mu.Seeing that Jia Baoyu had recovered overnight, Jia's mother and others couldn't help laughing. Jia Baoyu leaned next to Jia's mother and gestured frantically, "It turns out that Wen Fei can read a few words. She also came from the scholarly family." Yes, I think her name is not good, Hua Duan, it’s just a piece of fabric, which betrays her family background. So I changed her name, and Mingyue, her real name is Ming, isn’t it good to be called Mingyue? Madam Lai Why did Mammy teach her to chase the moon, to live up to such a good surname of hers, old ancestor, don’t you think so?”

Mrs. Wang shook her head, "Still keep this temper!"

Jia Tanchun looked at Jia Baoyu's beaming face, recalled what he saw in the garden yesterday evening, and thought to himself, those women who accompanied him day and night only got a few tears in the end, just a night of remembrance.Alas, should I say he is affectionate, or should I say that he is fickle?

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai also had a pale face, sitting together at a distance, occasionally saying a few words.

Jia Baoyu was talking, saw Xue Baochai, stood up with a smile and said, "Sister Bao, you have seen a few of them too, I wonder if you have noticed the magic color, I didn't notice the one yesterday, but I saw the one today My sister just remembered, that Huan Cai looks a bit like my sister!"

Xue Baochai's face was flushed, and she could no longer maintain her usual dignified posture. Lin Daiyu glanced at Xue Baochai sympathetically. Having such a husband and son-in-law on the table has made you miserable, Sister Bao!

"Baoyu, what nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Wang scolded.

Jia Baoyu heard that Mrs. Wang's voice was wrong, and saw that Xue Baochai's face was flushed, not shy, but angry. She also realized that she had said something wrong, and immediately retreated to Jia's mother, bowed her head and did not speak.

Mingyue and Wenfei glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes. They have been famous for this baby of the Jia family for a long time, and they have heard a lot about his absurdities. , It really is better to meet than to be famous!It is conceivable that their days will be sad in the future!

Just at this time, Jia Wan walked in, "Greetings to the old lady, hello to the wife, hello to Uncle Bao, hello to all the aunts!" Greetings one by one, it's too much trouble.

Seeing that Jia Wan's hair seemed a little wet, Mother Jia frowned and said, "Did you wash your hair early in the morning? You, please be quiet! It's autumn now, and the weather is getting colder. If you catch a cold, it's troublesome." Just kidding? Why don’t the girls wipe your hair clean for you! Yuanyang, pour me a bowl of hot milk*.”

Jia Wan smiled and sat down next to Lin Daiyu, "When I got up early to go shopping in the garden, I passed by the osmanthus forest, thinking about picking some fresh osmanthus and making osmanthus cakes, but I didn't pay attention, and a caterpillar fell from the tree. It landed on my head, although Yue'er quickly swept the bugs away, she still felt sick, so she didn't care to continue shopping, so she came back to take a shower and wash her hair."

When talking about caterpillars, everyone present showed disgusted expressions on their faces, especially Jia Baoyu, who hated these bugs the most, "Hey! Is it the sweet-scented osmanthus forest in the south? I won't go there in the future. How could there be?" Where are the caterpillars? What do those women eat! It's disgusting!"

Seeing him like this, Jia Wan secretly rolled her eyes, it is understandable for girls to be afraid of bugs, but you are a big man, you are afraid of bugs, how ridiculous!Jia Wan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Uncle Bao, you always like butterflies and dislike caterpillars, but do you know that those colorful and colorful butterflies are all transformed from caterpillars!"

Jia Baoyu looked shocked, "How is it possible? Are you lying?"

Jia Wan smiled triumphantly, "What did I lie to you for? Ask Yuan'er if you don't believe me, she raised a caterpillar when she was a child, and watched it turn into a yellow butterfly and fly away!"

Now, everyone's faces are not very good-looking. They hate caterpillars, but they like butterflies very much. Every summer, there are not a few people playing with butterflies in the garden.

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "You know what you know, tell me what you do! It's all right now, I won't dare to approach butterflies from now on!"

Jia Xichun also pouted and said, "That's right! Qiaoer, you are so bad!"

Jia Wan raised her head, "That's why you are bored! You both like the beauty of butterflies and hate the ugliness of caterpillars. Alas! What's the point of this? The two are one, but they have different forms in different periods." But everyone in the world is like this, easy to accept the beautiful side, but instinctively hate the ugly and dark side. Human nature is like this!"

Xue Baochai also recovered at this time, she said with a smile: "You, you have become more and more pedantic, and the tone of your speech is very similar. Don't you think so? It's really strange that you have learned to teach others at such a young age." .”

Everyone laughed, and the matter was revealed.Jia Wan smiled and looked at it for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, she said with a smile: "Old Ancestor, I'll go back first, sir, I'm still waiting!"

Jia's mother smiled and nodded, "Well, you go!" She was very satisfied with Jia Wan's study attitude. She was highly talented and willing to endure hardships. Since she entered school, no matter the wind or rain, she never skipped a day of class.She is so serious and hardworking, but she is a girl.Thinking of this, Mother Jia gave Jia Baoyu a regretful look.

After Jia Wan left, Jia Tanchun smiled and said, "Qiaoer really worked hard, much more than we did at that time."

Lin Daiyu said proudly: "Qiaoer is very talented, if you don't persevere, it will be a pity!"

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Baoyu and said with a smile: "Although so, Qiao'er is a daughter's family after all. What's the use of learning as much as possible. You shouldn't study hard, but you should work so hard. You don't need to be supervised. The one who should work hard the most doesn’t listen to any persuasion. People really don’t know what to say.”

Both Lin Daiyu and Sanchun covered their mouths and smiled.

Jia Wan's life continued on such an ordinary day-to-day basis, until one day, Xiao Hong happily ran in from outside, leaving no one in the room, rushed to Jia Wan's side excitedly, and said in a low voice: "Girl, Good news, Second Mistress gave birth to a boy! Girl, you are now an older sister!"

The book in Jia Wan's hand fell to the table all of a sudden, and she raised her head in a daze, "Is it true? Is he really a younger brother?"

Xiaohong suppressed the joy in her heart, nodded and said: "It's absolutely true! Brother Yun said it himself. The mansion probably won't get the news in a few days. Although the girl is happy, don't show her traces outside."

Jia Wan nodded excitedly, took Xiaohong's hand and said, "Good sister, I know, thank you very much!" Great, Wang Xifeng finally gave birth to a son, and she also has a younger brother, although she doesn't know what the future holds , but Jia Lian's line will never be deprived of his title because of the reason of extinction.

It wasn't until five days later that Jia Lian's letter came late. Jia Wan was reading with her husband when Yuanyang came in beaming and asked someone to say a few words to him. He nodded, packed up his books and left.

Yuanyang looked at Jia Wan and said with a smile: "Good girl, what are you still doing sitting here, the old lady is waiting for you, there is something good!"

Jia Wan asked with a smile: "What a good thing, Sister Yuanyang is so happy?"

Yuanyang pushed Jia Wan forward, "The girl will know when she goes!"

When we arrived at Rongqing Hall, everyone was there, no matter if they were sincere or not, everyone's faces were beaming. Seeing Jia Wan, Jia's mother waved to her happily, "Qiaoer, come quickly, your father has sent a letter. Said that your mother gave you a younger brother, it’s a big fat boy! "

Although Jia Wan knew the good news a long time ago, she still put on an expression of surprise in front of everyone, her eyes were red with excitement! "Little brother is so fat, mother must suffer, right? How is mother's body? Does it matter?"

Aunt Xue said with a smile: "It's really a person who has studied, but it's different. We all think about our brother's weight, being strong and healthy, but it happens that she is still thinking about her mother's body? This is the mother-daughter relationship. Take it easy!"

Jia's mother said with a smile: "After all, it's my Qiao'er who is caring! Your mother has suffered a lot, but she is willing to come here. Having a child is everything. These days, I will ask people to pack more supplements for you. Send it to your mother, let her make up her body!"

Jia Wan smiled and nodded, "By the way, can the uncle and grandparent of the Wang family report the news?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "You don't need to say it, people have reported it long ago."

Jia Wan lowered her head and smiled shyly, "By the way, old ancestor, I made some clothes for my little brother. Although they are not very pretty, they are also part of my wish as an older sister. When the time comes, old ancestor will help me to dress up together." Send it!"

Aunt Xue laughed, "Hey, she is really a good sister! She also knows how to make clothes for her younger brother. How good is Qiaoer's sewing skills? Let's show it to us too!"

Jia Wan shyly buried her face in Jia's mother's arms, Jia's mother couldn't stop laughing while holding Jia Wan, and Mrs. Wang also laughed and said, "Sister, don't say such things, are you ashamed when you don't see Qiaoer? Qiaoer I made a forehead wipe for the old lady. Seeing her filial piety, the old lady put it on to save face, and made a veil for me and the eldest lady. As a result, the old lady and the second master greeted the old lady that day. Seeing the old lady wiping her forehead, the old man said with disgust how could such a rough thing be worn by the old lady, and scolded the maid who was sewing for being too inattentive. The second old man saw my handkerchief again, and asked with a frown, Is it really difficult for our family? Can this kind of craftsmanship be used? Just happened to be heard by Qiaoer, who came to pay her respects. The shy Qiaoer blushed and almost didn’t cry. The little clothes she made are amazing. See you too, I guess it's not okay to wear it, but it's also her intention!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Jia Wan poked her head out of Jia's mother's arms and shouted angrily, "Ma'am, you promised not to speak out!"

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang looked at each other and laughed. They were all there that day. After Jia She and Jia Zheng found out that this was Jia Wan's handicraft, their faces turned blue and white, and they were extremely embarrassed. In the end, it was Jia's mother who said that she liked the forehead wipe that Qiao'er made for her. Although it didn't look good, it was very comfortable to wear.Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng hurriedly followed Jia's mother's words and praised Jia Wan again and again, only saying that at a young age, she knew how to be filial to her elders.

Jia Yingchun and others hurriedly stood up and changed the topic, "We also made some clothes for my little nephew. It's also a little thought from us. Let's take them with us when the time comes!"

Hearing this, Jia Wan stood up from Mother Jia's arms and straightened her clothes, "I would like to thank all the aunts on behalf of my younger brother. You have worked hard!" Then she looked back as if remembering something, "By the way, Old ancestor, does my younger brother have a name?"

Mrs. Xing said with a smile, "The old lady said that the old man should start reading books in the study now! The old lady gave her a nickname, Brother Nan, because she was born in the south. That's why I call him Brother Nan."

Li Wan frowned slightly. Brother Nan and Brother Lan have different characters, but the pronunciation is the same. It's good that Jia Lian's family is not in the mansion now. If they come back in the future and call Lan Geer, who are they calling? !Although Li Wan was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything.She and Jia Lan are like invisible people, others can't easily remember them!

"Nan in the north and the south? Although the characters are different, it is the same as Brother Lan's Lan sound. When the time comes, who knows who it is called, old ancestor, don't you think so? Change it! Old ancestor!" But Jia Wan spoke out relying on Jia's mother's love.

Jia's mother patted her head, "Oh, I have such a good memory that I actually forgot this. Don't remind me about the second wife and Zhu's daughter-in-law. This name is not good. Think of another one." Then she looked at Jia Wan. He said, "Well, you have been studying for a long time, and your Aunt Lin said that you are good at your homework, why don't you think of a nickname for your brother!"

Jia Wan smiled embarrassedly, "Old Ancestor, there are still so many elders here, why can't it be my turn!"

Jiamu said with a smile: "It's okay, just say it, and then say it was my idea. If they want to sue, I won't give them any snacks later."

Jia Wan thought for a while, and said: "Why don't we call the nickname Brother Mao, the lush Mao, our generation is the beginning of the word Cao, and the word Mao, which means lush vegetation, indicates that our family will continue to grow. Prosperous and prosperous, in addition, the word Mao is also beautiful, with the meaning of talent and virtue, I hope he can read more and read good books in the future. What do you think, old ancestor?"

Mother Jia nodded gratifiedly, "Well, the word Mao is good. In my opinion, it is also a good name. Yuanyang, let me ask the old man about his grandson's name. If not, just say me." Here's a good name, ask him if he can use it!"

Jia Wan stared at Mother Jia dumbfounded, "Grandpa, didn't you say it's a nickname? What?" The real name is Jia Mao, is it a fake or shoddy product?My own name is Jia Wan, and I have a fake job, while my younger brother has become a counterfeit and shoddy product!It's just that the word counterfeit is an out-and-out American word, which was born in the early 19th century. You probably don't know this word here at this moment!well!There's no way out, the whole family can't escape the fakes

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also said in surprise: "Yes, even if Qiaoer's family has read some books, it's just a joke. She really used her name, so it's not good to spread it!"

Jia Mu said with a smile: "What's the matter? This shows that our brothers and sisters are respectful and harmonious! Besides, if you don't say it, I don't say it, who knows! The family has been rectified. If there is such a talk The trivial people should be sent out. Besides, I didn't say that, I still know a thing or two about the master's level, and I don't work hard on these on weekdays. Lian'er's names are all given by the old man Yes! I'm afraid I'm in trouble in the study right now!"

Mrs. Xing smiled awkwardly. The old man's reputation as a dandy has not been a day or two, so she can only smile and say, "The old lady said so."

Sure enough, Shaoqing, someone came back and said, "When the servants went, the Elder Master and the Second Master were both there, and they both thought the word Mao was good. The Elder Master said that she was indeed an old lady, and she ate more salt than others. Saying my brother’s name determines the word Mao.”

Hearing this, Jia Wan sighed, and said silently in her heart, brother, brother, I just gave you a nickname, how did I know it became your first name, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame our surname No, no matter how good the name is, it doesn't make sense to put this surname on it.Sorry, sorry!

Mother Jia nodded and let her go down.Others quickly flattered Jiamu.Only Mrs. Wang and Li Wan felt a little displeased, the vegetation was lush, and there was a faint feeling that Jia's generation was headed by him, which made Mrs. Wang and Li Wan unhappy!But things have come to this point, and they can't say anything.

Thus, the eldest son and grandson of the eldest son of the Jia family had his own name, Jia Mao!This name made Jia Wan laugh and cry every time he recalled it all his life.

Because of Jia Mao's birth, Mrs. Wang felt a sense of crisis, especially when she heard that the person who delivered things to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng left with four carriages, even though most of them were bought by Jia Amnesty from the private treasury. Come out to reward my son.But Mrs. Wang is still unavoidably anxious.The more Jialian Wang Xifeng gets from the old lady, the less Baoyu will get in the future.As a result, Baoyu's marriage was put on the agenda again.

Mrs. Wang even mentioned this when she entered the palace to greet Jia Yuanchun. "Ever since adding Maogeer, the old lady's heart has been very biased. She always wants to give Maogeer any good things, and completely forgets that there is Baoyu!"

Jia Yuanchun sat at the top and sighed. She also knew a thing or two about her mother's careful thinking. In her opinion, compared to Jia Lian, she naturally believed that her younger brother could bear the burden. Taking up the burden of revitalizing Rongguo Mansion, Jia Yuanchun took a tacit attitude towards his mother's subtle suppression of Dafang.But now, the birth of Jia Mao means that all the mother's plans in the past have come to nothing.After all, Jia Mao, like Baoyu, has the blood of the Jia family and the Wang family on his body, so my uncle will not just sit idly by.Among the four major families, only the uncle, the prince, is Teng Deli. If the uncle objects, the mother alone will not be able to accomplish anything.

It's just that these words cannot be said.Especially in today's position, Jia Yuanchun understands the importance of etiquette better than anyone else. She thought about it and said: "Yiren, it is a happy event for the eldest family to have a son-in-law. I think uncle will be very pleased. As for you Baoyu's marriage is arranged in an orderly manner, although Yingchun is a concubine, but she is a sister after all, so we have to wait until she is engaged to leave the cabinet before mentioning Baoyu's marriage."

Mrs. Wang understood the meaning of Yuan Chun's words. Although she was not angry, she also knew that since Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng left Jia's house, this matter was out of her control. Kill people invisible!But this does not mean that Mrs. Wang has given up. If there is a chance in the future, she will still make a move.

"But Yingchun is the daughter of the Eldest Master after all, so I can't go over the Eldest Master and the Eldest Wife to say goodbye to her! What can you do, Madam?"

Jia Yuanchun frowned, "How about this, Yiren will say what I said after returning home, and the second sister is getting older, so it's time to talk about marriage. The old lady knows what to do after hearing it. If I say it, the old lady thinks It can be heard!"

Mrs. Wang had to listen to this, and she was overjoyed. With Yuan Chun speaking, the old lady should not delay any longer!

Sure enough, when Mrs. Wang told Mother Jia about this, Mother Jia looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, "Since it's your mother's order, I will do it naturally. Come here, please come here."

Mrs. Wang pretended not to understand the deep meaning of Jia's mother's words, she just sat on the side with lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes.

When Jia She and Mrs. Xing came, they saw Mrs. Wang sitting there, Jia She frowned deeply, what is the second family going to do!

After Jia's mother said what the empress meant, Jia She said, "So it's for this! I know! Don't worry, the old lady, I have been watching for Yingchun. It's just that I thought, the big house has only Although such a girl is a concubine, I usually see her as no different from Lian'er brothers. I am determined to keep her for a few more years. After all, once a girl's family gets married, she will not be as relaxed as being at home."

Mother Jia nodded happily after hearing Jia She's finished speaking, she just felt that this eldest son, who had always been stubborn, sometimes spoke so nicely, even though everyone in the house knew that the old man was talking nonsense, Yingchun was always an invisible person, who Pay attention to her!But what Jia Amnesty said at this time was in line with Jia's mother's wishes.

"Why didn't I mean that, but now that your mother has spoken, you should hurry up and get ready!" Jia Mu turned to look at Mrs. Wang, "You can also ask your mother later, if you have time, is it three months or five? Months, or a year or so?"

Mrs. Wang smiled awkwardly, but said nothing.

Jia She glanced at her and said with a smile: "I understand what the old lady means, my son will do it now, but, after all, the second girl is the first in the younger generation to get married, so the candidate for this uncle must be carefully selected. Give me some time, old lady!"

Mrs. Wang's face was slightly red, and even Jia Mu's face was not very good-looking. What did he say, what did he mean that the second girl was the first to marry in the house, who was he pointing at and scolding!

Although Jia's mother was unhappy, she also knew that Jia She had always had such a temperament, so she said to him impatiently, "Okay, you can choose your own daughter and son-in-law, but there is one thing, keep your eyes bright, and don't fall into the trap of our country." The name of the government!"

The corners of Jia She's mouth raised slightly, he stood up, and smiled at Mother Jia, "Come on, old lady, just watch it. My son has something to do, so I'll leave first!"

The author has something to say: Hahaha, my baby’s breathing problem finally has a solution. The correction belt I bought on Taobao is still useful. I took it out for her last night and persuaded her to wear it at the price of telling stories. Come on, I did breathe through my nose when I slept all night, and my mouth was only slightly opened.And he slept much better, unlike before tossing and turning, he slept obediently lying on his back last night, and didn't start turning over and tossing again until dawn.I'm going to hold a parent-teacher meeting this morning, alas, the kindergarten is going to hold a parent-teacher meeting now.My aunt didn't come two days late, I don't know if it's because of psychological reasons, it's so annoying!In the end, some readers said not to be too harsh on Baoyu. In fact, in terms of age, Baoyu is about the same as our current junior high school students and high school students, but the ancients were relatively precocious compared to us. You can get married and have children at the age of 16, and how old was Baoyu and Xiren for the first time, maybe in his teens!It would be unimaginable if it were done today, but in ancient times, when a man ejaculated for the first time, the elders would arrange maids for them.Uh, it’s a bit far-fetched, what I want to say is that 16-year-old Baoyu was really not too young in ancient times.We can't justify him with 'he's a kid'.When I typed this sentence, I suddenly thought of some people. If I can't say it, I will be sprayed to death by fans.
