dream of red mansion

Chapter 130
"I can hear your laughter from far away, what are you playing, so happy?"

While everyone was joking and cursing, they saw Mother Jia trembling in, surrounded by maids and women.

"The old lady is here..."

"Ancestor."

Everyone hastily stood up to ask for peace.

Mother Jia waved away Yuanyang's support, walked to the table, and said, "Hehe, it turned out to be playing cards...you sit down, I'll come over and have a look, the room is very boring."

Hearing that Tanchun came out to help Jiamu, he said, "Old lady, sit here." He said, leading Jiamu to her position.

Jia's mother said cheerfully: "My third granddaughter is still filial and knows to let me go. The three of them don't move their homes!"

Daiyu and Baoyu just smiled when they heard the words, Jia Qing said: "What the old ancestor said, the grandson just wants to learn from the old ancestor's clever tricks, so he is desperately occupying one... If your old man speaks, how dare the grandson refuse to let you go?" No way? It's not filial, it really wronged my grandson. Brother Bao, do you think so?"

"Okay, I know you're a good guy. Let's not gossip anymore, who is the banker, shuffle the cards, I want to help my third girl win some rouge silver back!"

Jia's mother was very excited and said boldly.

Jia Qing said: "We haven't started yet. Since the ancestors are here, the first game is naturally the ancestors are the dealer." Said and handed the cards to Jiamu.

"Who did this? It's time to spare!"

Mother Jia took Daiyu's cards, looked at the exquisite workmanship, and said to herself.

Daiyu blushed quietly, Jia Qing and others laughed without saying a word.

In this way, Mother Jia didn't know who did it, so she stopped gossiping and said, "Okay, I've dealt the cards!"

"Ancestor, please..."

……

Jia Baoyu clearly distinguishes between public and private in playing cards, but it's a pity...

"Brother, you hit this!"

"Really?"

This is Xichun giving advice to Jia Qing.

"Uh-huh"

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister. One-on-two, order! I only have one card left."

"Old lady, blast him quickly, they only have one pair and two!"

On the other side, Tanchun, Jiamu's military adviser, hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll fry!"

Opposite Jia Qing, Daiyu, who was about to decide to surrender, became energetic all of a sudden, and joined forces with Jia's mother to beat Jia Baoyu, Jia Qing's teammate, all of a sudden.

In the end, Jia Mu's side won!
"Oh, second brother, why are you so confused, why don't you just type a card first?"

Jia Baoyu was very unconvinced when he lost, and accused Jia Qing of not being able to play...

Jia Qing looked at Xichun helplessly, and said, "Look, you made me lose again."

Xi Chun blamed herself and lowered her head...

Jia's mother presided over justice and said: "You are not ashamed to bully your sister at such an age!"

Daiyu said, "Exactly."

Jia Qing couldn't rely on her, turned around and hugged Xichun, hugged her tightly in her arms, and said dotingly: "How can it be, my sister, even if I lose everything, it's worth it!"

Just one sentence made Xichun smile.

Tanchun said: "Second brother is really not ashamed, let him finish everything!"

Jia's mother was also happy, and said: "Look at the harmony between your brothers and sisters, it's very good, very good... let's not talk, give the money quickly, and then we will continue to play..."

"Okay, old ancestor, I'll give you the money...but, old ancestor, I have a proposal."

Jia Qing offered up the lost money and said.

Jia Mu was in a good mood and said, "Say it."

"Look, we're just here to play, and the second sister, the third sister, and the sisters in the room are all watching, and it's boring, and we're not comfortable.

Wouldn't it be good for the ancestors to show mercy and let them open a few more tables next to them, so that we can have fun together? "

Mother Jia hardly hesitated, and said, "That's a good proposal! Yuanyang."

"Eh!"

"You are in charge of greeting, and you can also arrange tables to play, just don't let them argue."

Mother Jia is the most easy-going person. It is broad daylight and she doesn't drink alcohol. She is also willing to let the maids who have been serving her all the time have fun with her.

"Yes."

"Thank you, old lady!"

The big maidservants, Peifeng, Shishu and others all thanked in unison when they heard the words.

……

In Mrs. Wang's courtyard, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang sat next to each other.

"Where's Baoyu?"

Jia Zheng took a sip of tea and asked.

Mrs. Wang also paid close attention to Jia Muyuan, and replied: "I'm staying with the old lady in the house. I heard that the old lady is in a very good mood today. She is playing cards with her brother from the East Mansion and Tanya. , have been playing all afternoon, and they haven't left yet!"

Hearing that he was with Jia's mother, Jia Zheng didn't dare to say any more.Changed the subject and said: "Brother Qing came to the house?"

"Yes, he came here once in the morning, just to say hello to the old lady, and to make fun of the old lady.

Then went back again.After noon, he brought over gifts for Baoyu and the others... But the old lady found out and went to play with them again. "

Jia Zheng stroked his beard and sighed: "It can be seen that the old lady likes Brother Qing!"

Mrs. Wang said: "Who says it's not. He is also very respectful and filial to the old lady."

It stands to reason that Mrs. Wang is not so big. Mother Jia likes other grandchildren, so she will care less for Jia Baoyu...

Didn't you see that even Jia Huan, who was hated by everyone in the original book, was tightly suppressed by her?
However, no matter how much Jia's mother likes Jia Qing, he is also from the east, and there is no threat to his precious jade!Moreover, it was obvious that Jia Zheng liked Jia Qing very much, so why did she go against Jia Zheng's wishes in this matter?
Besides, Jia Qing usually never dared to neglect her, and the fruit he gave yesterday was also a basket of the best ones.She really can't hate Jia Qing...

Jia Zheng said: "He is a good man, how can I not know this! But this is not the most difficult thing.

You don't know, after today's court, I met Prince Beijing, and he congratulated me. "

"Oh, what did the prince wish for you?"

Mrs. Wang asked.In public, King Beijing Jing is the lord of the princes. When they face each other, they naturally have to be respectful and self-restraining to maintain the dignity of the country.But in private, it's still a friendship!There is still a relationship between the two governments. What's more, Shui Rong is still a junior, so of course he won't show any flattery.

"The lord said, congratulations to our family for being blessed with a phoenix. Brother Qing showed his style at the Jiangnan Literature Fair half a month ago and won the crown of poet champion. The sage heard it, and he was also very happy. Can be such a hero.

The prince also said, let me wait for a good student to urge Brother Qing to study, so that I can live up to the Holy Majesty's expectations..."

Mrs. Wang was surprised and said: "There is such a thing?"

She was originally full of Baoyu who Jia Zheng often used Jia Qing to criticize and scold her. He felt that his Baoyu would not lose to Jia Qing in terms of talent and spirituality, but he hadn't had the chance to show it.

Now I am more convinced, perhaps, Jia Qing is really talented in reading!
But it doesn't matter, Baoyu is her son, and with the support of his natal uncle, he will definitely have a better future than Jia Qing.After all, no matter how outstanding Jia Qing is, he is just a brother from a concubine.

Thinking of this, she still feels pity for Jia Qinglai...

"Speaking of which, our Jia family is also short of successors. It used to be supported by the big brother from the east, and it was still decent. But since he stepped down, in the huge Jia family, there is only one Yuanwailang from me working in the court. Whenever I think of this, I feel ashamed of my ancestors,

There is also Baoyu, who is now at the age of officially going to school, but you and the old lady are blindly pampered, and you only know nonsense all day long, and hang out with the maid, why don't you get angry! "

Jia Zheng suddenly became unhappy and said angrily.

"Master, calm down~ Baoyu is still young, maybe he will wake up in two years, and realize that he has made progress. Now the master should relax a little bit, don't forget why Pearl is gone..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang's voice became painful.Jia Zheng also looked sad, but he still said: "No matter what, we can't let Baoyu continue to be so ignorant. After another year at most, I will also send him to the Imperial College to study... At that time, I will have to pay more attention to him." Please persuade the old lady more."

Mrs. Wang saw that Jia Zheng had made up her mind and dared not disobey it.I had no choice but to nod, and said: "I just said that there is a shortage of people in the court. Isn't my second brother also an official in the court? If the master has difficulties in handling government affairs, you can also discuss it with the second brother..."

Mrs. Wang's remarks were actually just to remind Jia Zheng that Baoyu still has a high-ranking uncle to support him, so there is no need to force him too much.But Jia Zheng thought Mrs. Wang was showing off his natal family's power.He is an orthodox Confucian student, so he felt slightly displeased, although his face remained unchanged, he said in a flat voice: "Yes."
