Everyone has curiosity, but not everyone can go all out and take a look.Mother Jia and other female relatives want to save face, but Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng don't care.Among the juniors, Baoyu, for example, really wanted to go up to see what happened, but unfortunately, when he caught a glimpse of Jia Zheng in front of him, he immediately gave up.

In the end, it was Jia Lian who couldn't hold back and strode forward, reached out and picked up Qiaojie who was lying on the table: "Qiaojie..."

Snapped!

Sister Qiao is not a good-tempered person, and she knows it well, she has such incongruous parents, and she was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, so it's strange to have a good temper.If Jia Lian just wanted to hug her, she wouldn't have reacted so violently. Jia Lian picked her up while reaching out to snatch the small things in her arms.Immediately, sister Qiao became angry, and stretched out her hand to slap the back of Jia Lian's hand fiercely. The movement was so neat, coupled with that little face full of anger, it was a replica of Wang Xifeng.

"You hit me, don't cry!" Jia Lian didn't care about being beaten by Qiaojie, but thought that every time Qiaojie fought with him in the past, she would cry so wronged, so she hurriedly stopped.

Unexpectedly, Sister Qiao had no intention of crying at all, but instead glared at him more and more angrily, her face flushed red and she uttered a word: "Bad!"

Jia Lian stared back at her with a dark face, then lowered her head to look at the small object in her hand, and couldn't help but glance at Sister Qiao, feeling speechless.

It was a set of small bows and arrows. The body of the bow was made of ivory. It looked a bit old at first glance, and the whole body was translucent after being played with.The arrows were placed in the quiver, and there were only five or six of them in total, but each one was exquisite, especially the feathers of the arrows were dazzling. The feathers are derived from the tail feathers of the blue peacock.Such a set of things, even if it has no practical effect at all, is worth a lot.

Turning his head silently, Jia Lian squinted his eyes at Jia Amnesty who was standing a few steps away, and raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

This set of things was sent over from the east courtyard earlier. Although the servant who delivered the things did not say so clearly, Mrs. Xing had already sent some jewelry for children. I also knew that the person who prepared this set was who.

"Hey, didn't I prepare this for Sister Qiao? Tsk tsk, yes, really good! Sister Qiao really deserves to be the eldest granddaughter of our Rongguo Mansion, she is indeed the daughter of the general!" self-satisfied.

Jia Lian just wanted to hehe, but he couldn't lose Jia Amnesty's face in front of everyone, so he gritted his teeth and laughed along with him, thinking in his heart, what kind of general girl, her father and my father's father are so cowardly, what's the use of Guangqiao sister tiger?What's more, he doesn't want Qiaojie to become a general's tiger girl at all. Wouldn't it be nice to be a beautiful and precious daughter?I still want to play bow and arrow...

Just thinking this way, Jia Lian slapped Qiaojie again.Helplessly lowering her head to look at Qiaojie, Jia Lian really didn't want to hand over the bow and arrow in her hand, and looked at the many objects on the long table. Jia Lian licked her face and discussed with Qiaojie: "Qiaojie, good girl Let's change something! Look at that, how beautiful the head jewelry the old lady gave you, look at the big and bright beads! Otherwise, the music box that Dad prepared for you, a good thing from the West, will still be issued There is a sound. Sister Qiao, look, look... yo!"

Sister Qiao really deserves to be the seed of Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng. Her temperament is persistent, she looks after her target and doesn't let go.But if it's ugly, it's a typical example of not hitting the south wall and not looking back!No matter what Jia Lian said, even if he could tell the truth now, Qiao Jie's gaze was always fixed on the set of bows and arrows in his hand.

do not give?beat!Rob!cheat!

It's a pity that soon, sister Qiao understood that it hurt her hand after hitting her, and she was doomed to be unable to grab it.At that moment, all the people in the side hall deliberately saw the scene of big eyes and small eyes. The father and daughter were both arrogant, the big one was stubborn, and the young one was stubborn. For a while, they were in a stalemate over the issue of the ownership of this set of bows and arrows.

Wang Xifeng: "...hahahaha!" After the initial stupefaction, Wang Xifeng quickly laughed, and when she started, everyone else laughed too.

Jia's mother smiled and scolded: "Lian'er, you bastard, even if you grab something from your younger brother and sister, why did you get into trouble with your daughter? Why don't you give it to her quickly? On a good day, don't let her get it again." I cried." Since it was a Zhou banquet, it was naturally Qiaojie's first birthday, if she really wanted to cry, of course there was nothing she could do about it, but it was not right for a father to make his daughter cry on purpose.

"It's okay, she won't cry." Jia Lian comforted Jia's mother first, and then gave Qiao Jie something next to her, "Here is this for you, the small screen that your aunt embroidered for you, and I will put it on the bedside for you later." How beautiful is it on the small table? Otherwise..."

"Bad! Bad!" Sister Qiao was really angry, but after seeing the pile of things Jia Lian stuffed into her arms, she suddenly calmed down, her big eyes rolled around slyly, and immediately closed her arms Throwing things aside at once, turned around and scanned the long table.

Just when Jia Lian thought that his goal had been achieved, he immediately smiled more proudly than Jia She: "The one just now doesn't count, but now..."

Sister Qiao came back, but she was holding the rouge that Baoyu had just left outside.Seeing this, Jia Lian stared at the rouge in Sister Qiao's hand with an extremely ugly expression, like a fly flying over after eating.However, what everyone didn't expect was that Qiaojie grabbed Rouge, but quickly crawled up to Jia Lian, stuffed it into Jia Lian's empty left hand with all her strength, and shouted: "Here!"

Not to mention, Qiaojie was so cunning that while Jia Lian was in a daze, she snatched the small bow and arrow from his other hand, "Qiaojie's!"

Jia Lian: "..." Is this learning and selling now?He even gave him rouge? !

Seeing Jia Lian's face as if he swallowed a fly alive, Jia She stepped forward, looked it over carefully, and then laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are indeed my granddaughter of Jia She, yes, really nice I have a lot of good things besides small bows and arrows, and I bring them to Sister Qiao later. Sister Qiao, do you like whips? I also have tops, archery targets, kickers, and dove carts. There are wooden swords and red-tasseled spears! They are all for you."

Sister Qiao didn't quite understand Jia She's words, but she was used to seeing people's faces, and she also lived in the East Hospital for a while, and Jia She and Jia Lian were somewhat similar, so she saw a very familiar The man talked to her with a smile, and immediately opened his hands and grinned at Jia She, "Hug!"

Hearing this, Jia She was so happy that he couldn't find her way out. He stepped forward and squeezed Jia Lian away fiercely. He stretched out his hand and hugged Qiao Jie into his arms. He said curiously, "Look, it's our girl, I know that our ancestors followed the master to conquer the world!" Glancing at the rouge in Jia Lian's hand again, Jia Amnesty was full of disgust, "Don't take those little girls' things for my granddaughter to play with, my granddaughter That's Jiangmen Tiger Girl!"

Jia Lian really wanted to remind him that this rouge was brought by Baoyu!Of course, in fact, he didn't need to remind him at all. After Jia She's last sentence fell, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang's complexions turned pale.

In fact, although rouge and gouache are playthings, sister Qiao is a girl, so it doesn't matter if she catches them.The worst thing is to be told that you love to dress up, which is not a bad word.But now, sister Qiao has caught the bow and arrow, and then thinks that Baoyu caught the arrow a few years ago...

"Okay, okay, Sister Qiao got a pair of small bows and arrows in the middle of the week. Let's take a look at the rare ones. Let's go to the front to watch the show. I specially asked the housekeeper to invite a famous troupe recently. Let's go, old ancestor, I Let me walk with you." Wang Xifeng saw that the whole atmosphere was frozen because of Jia Amnesty's two words, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take Jia's mother's arm, and changed the subject with a smile.The people around were either unwilling to quarrel with the second room, or they wanted to save face for Wang Xifeng, and they all responded one after another. Even Jia Lian dropped the rouge in his hand and smiled a few times at everyone, but when he was about to speak, But was interrupted by Jia She.

"Let's go, our good girl, let's go to the theater together. Later, I will collect all the good things and send them to you. By the way, Baoyu, besides swords and other things, I also have a lot of good things." The rouge and gouache I bought are much better than what you gave, and I will send someone to send it to you later."

Baoyu staggered, if not for the Xiren beside him who quickly helped her up, she might have fallen to the ground.But even though she barely stabilized her figure, Baoyu's expression was extremely tragic.Not embarrassing, but thrilling.

"My father! If you have good things, you should keep them for your mother and younger sister!" Jia Lian was also very frightened by these words, and said in his heart that he would never say that Wang Xifeng was unforgiving.Compared with his own father's stinky mouth, Wang Xifeng couldn't be more kind.

"Hmph, why? Xing's face, not to mention rouge and gouache, even if you put gold on it, it might not look good. Your sister..." Jia She first mocked Mrs. Xing, and then seemed to remember that Yingchun was his after all. Flesh and blood, if you say that Yingchun is ugly, you will scold yourself in a different way, and then change your words, "Your sister doesn't like rouge and gouache, and besides, she doesn't have precious jade or gold!"

Mrs. Xing and Yingchun Quan, who were named, thought they were deaf, and just bowed their heads in silence.

In the end, it was Mother Jia who couldn't listen anymore, and gave Jia Amnesty a hard look, and said a lesson: "I haven't been drunk yet, so I just talk about these drunken things! If you have time to hug your granddaughter, you can come and give me a hand!" Give Sister Qiao to Lian'er."

Jia Amnesty didn't dare to say much this time, and honestly handed sister Qiao over to Jia Lian, and then walked a few steps to Jia Mu's side, respectfully supporting her.Seeing this, Jia Zheng could no longer watch like this, and hurried to the other side, Wang Xifeng let go, and he rushed up to him.

What a kind mother and son are filial piety.

A group of people all went to the front yard, the stage had already been set up, but this time it was not like last time, they sang three plays in a row, estimating the time, I am afraid that it would be time for lunch after one play was over.After lunch, they will go back to their respective homes. It is already very good if everyone is willing to spare half a day for Sister Qiao's birthday.

Although it was to celebrate Qiaojie's birthday, the play was ordered by Jia's mother. The old people like old plays, and they ordered "Five Girls Blessing Their Birthday", which barely fit the scene.

There's not much to say about singing, just because Jia's mother ordered the play. Rao has watched this play more than ten times, and everyone looks happy.If it were in the past, maybe Baoyu would be mischievous, such as asking to change a new play, or sing two more performances, but now Baoyu was overly frightened, until he sat down and sang more than half of the play, he still did not Calm down.

It's still very hot in July, and it's approaching noon now, even if you live under the pergola and put ice basins around, it's still a bit hot after sitting for a long time.That's all for an adult, you can bear it from left to right, but sister Qiao just gets impatient after a while.She couldn't understand the drama either, she just listened to the lively jingle, which became boring after a long time.

Wang Xifeng kept paying attention, and when she saw Qiaojie twisting her body and looking around, she knew she couldn't sit still.He hurriedly begged for mercy from Jia's mother, and together with Jia Lian took Qiaojie out.

The nanny and the servant girl came with them. Seeing Wang Xifeng's family of three coming out, the nanny and Xiaohong ran over first. Wang Xifeng said: "Sister Qiao can't sit still, take her back to the yard first. or play with Xiaohong for a while, or let her eat something first, and then let her sleep when she gets sleepy."

Jia Lian also warned: "Look back and find a way to take the bow and arrow from her hand, don't make her cry, just take it off quietly. Don't give it to her anymore, just take it, and give it to me when I go back." Been thinking about it.

Fortunately, Sister Qiao couldn't understand the long string of words. Seeing the familiar Nanny and Xiaohong, she immediately rushed over with a smile.The nanny held Qiaojie tightly in her arms, while Xiaohong by her side quickly repeated Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian's advice, seeing that neither of them had anything to add, so she went with the nanny. Mammy and the others went to the backyard together.

When Sister Qiao was far away, Wang Xifeng suddenly nudged Jia Lian with her elbow, glared angrily, and said, "Isn't it just playing with bows and arrows? Second Master Lian, why are you so nervous? When I was young, I was also raised by boys. Yes, isn't it all right now?"

"Isn't it good that the girl is so delicate?" Jia Lian didn't dare to say that Wang Xifeng's temper is too aggressive. He didn't want Qiaojie to learn from Wang Xifeng in the future, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while. After thinking about it, he mentioned that Wang Xifeng had always liked it. Daiyu, "Look at Aunt Lin's younger sister, how about sister Qiao learning from her in the future?"

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a while before he realized who Jia Lian was talking about, and he was almost choked to death by these words.

It is true that Daiyu has thousands of good things, but Wang Xifeng doesn't want sister Qiao to learn from Daiyu at all.Looking back on her previous life, whenever Baoyu was rude to Daiyu, Daiyu would either shed tears quietly, or be sad and sad. If Wang Xifeng...

A slap overturned him!

"Come on, you, Second Master Lian, just calm down. If you really have the ability to raise a younger sister like Lin, I'm afraid you accidentally raised a younger sister like Second Sister. I'll see how you regret it!" Daiyu said sadly. , Another real talent.Wang Xifeng was afraid that Sister Qiao didn't learn Daiyu's talents, but only learned her hardships, and if Yingchun's stupefaction, Tanchun's poison, and Xichun's coldness were added...

She can't help but kill Jia Lian!

Leaving Jia Lian behind, Wang Xifeng hurried back to the stage alone, and after a while Jia Lian also quietly touched her.Because everyone was watching the show, they never noticed them.

After all, the play is over, because only one play is ordered, which is actually an excerpt. Although it is exciting to watch, it is not very satisfying.So, at the end, Jia Amnesty said again: "It was hard to hire a theater troupe once, and only order this one? The old lady gave me some rewards, and I will come to see it in the next afternoon. Oh, by the way, Baoyu is also there." Come here."

Mother Jia gave Jia Amnesty a helpless look, and she couldn't lose his face too much, so she had to say, "If you like it, come and see, no one is stopping you. You can't call Baoyu, he still wants to learn later. .”

"My son knows, then I will let Lian'er, the second girl and the fourth girl stay with me later, is that okay?"

"It's up to you." Actually, Jia's mother thought it would be okay to let Baoyu relax for a while, but she was afraid that if she let go, Jia Zheng would punish Baoyu later, so she had to come forward to explain the matter for Baoyu.

It's a pity that Jia's mother only wanted to prevent Baoyu from coming to watch the play, but she ignored a very important thing. The stage was set up in the front yard. Of course it was not close to the study, but it wasn't too far either.If it is a drama similar to "Five Girls Blessing Their Birthday", there is no problem.But if there is a wonderful play... Baoyu don't want An Sheng to be a scholar.

However, no one noticed this at the moment, Mother Jia and the others went back to the Rongqing Hall together, and finally got together, so they wanted to have a good meal and drink.Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and other men set up a table in the outer hall, while the female relatives held a banquet in the wing room.

Because it was a rare family banquet, Mother Jia did not let Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang serve, but let them all sit down.At this moment, when Mrs. Wang was talking to Wang Xifeng, the young Jia Lan was beside her.Mrs. Xing was busy taking care of Yingchun and Xichun, and Shi Xiangyun sat down with Xue's mother and daughter.

After scanning around, Jia Mu's gaze fell on Jia Lan's face.

Ordinarily, as a male, it is best to go to the front hall, but Jia Lan is too young, and his biological father has passed away. Baoyu, the golden grandson, is really inconspicuous in the way.It was also at this moment that Baoyu was forcibly moved to the other side of the front hall by Jia Zheng, and Li Wan and Tanchun both went to the west side courtyard, which made him appear.

Jia Mu sighed slightly in her heart, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Lan'er, come to me."

There was a sudden silence on the table, and Jia Lan was obviously taken aback when he heard this. Fortunately, he was well-bred by Li Wan before, although he didn't understand why, he got out of the chair obediently, walked up to Jia Mu, respectfully She saluted and said, "Lan'er has seen the old lady."

"Good boy, this is your sister's Zhou Zhou banquet. In front of my eyes, I can see the appearance of you when you caught Zhou. You are a good person, and you grabbed the pen and paper in one go. At that time, Zhuer said, Lan Follow him, he is a studious."

As soon as these words came out, the entire wing room became silent, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing became inaudible.Dafang's side was alright, Mrs. Xing, Yingchun, and Xichun were used to pretending to be deaf and dumb. Hearing what Jia Mu said, they just lowered their heads a little lower, treating themselves as ornaments.Although Wang Xifeng was surprised, it wasn't her turn to be in charge of this matter, so she just sat and giggled.As for Shi Xiangyun and Xue's mother and daughter, because of their obscure positions, they just pretended it was nothing.Only Mrs. Wang is sitting on pins and needles.

It is true that Jia Mu's words did not contain any malicious intentions at first glance, but after careful consideration, there is a hidden needle in every sentence.Especially when it comes to Jialan's arrest of Zhou, people can't help but think back to the matter of Baoyu's arrest of Zhou and got rouge two years earlier. She repeatedly mentioned this matter.Not to mention, Mother Jia also mentioned Jia Zhu who died young.

Even though Mrs. Wang had blamed Li Wan for Jia Zhu's early death all these years, she knew in her heart that some things were not entirely Li Wan's fault.

At that time, not long after Jia Zhu entered the Guozijian, Jia Zheng decided to let Jia Zhu get married as soon as possible. The other party was the eldest daughter of the Guozijian Jijiu.When Mrs. Wang found out about this, everything had already been settled. No matter how much dissatisfaction she felt in her heart, she could no longer change the choice of her daughter-in-law.Therefore, she was full of resentment.It was also for this reason that she picked a caring person and gave it to Jia Zhu before she got married, and at that time, Jia Zhu's room already had a servant girl who was rewarded by Jia Mu.In addition, the daughter presented by Jia Zhengmen later, Jia Zhu already had three concubines before his first wife came in.

Emotionally and rationally, this is extremely inappropriate.Even with the name of being proficient in personnel affairs, there is usually only one.But Jia Zhu has three of them.

After Li Wan entered the door, facing the three Tong Fang who were bestowed by the elders with a detached status, he almost wanted to cry without tears.If Li Wan had the temperament of Wang Xifeng and was determined to kick Tongfang out, then it would be all right.But unfortunately, Li Wan has a good face and can't do something like tearing his face as soon as he enters the door, so Li Wan can only use his dowry maid as a substitute.

One is not enough, because the other party has three, even if Li Wan finally turned on all four of the dowry maids around him, so what?It's useless, how shrewd are the maids of the Rongguo Mansion, how can the maids of the Li family, who are from a small family, be able to match them?

Mrs. Wang could blame Li Wan for all the crimes against her conscience, but she couldn't deny one fact.Even though Li Wan promoted four servant girls, in fact, Jia Zhu didn't care much.After Li Wan became pregnant, Jia Zhu only slept in the other three rooms.

Thinking of those old things, Mrs. Wang's complexion became more and more ugly, but what she never expected was that this was just the beginning.

"Zheng's daughter-in-law, Lan'er is not young anymore, but have you enlightened him?"
