serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 281 On February [-]th

Jia Mu cheered up, took Lin Daiyu's hand, sat there quietly and looked at Jia Hu with a smile.

Everyone looked at Jia Hu with a smile.

Lin Daiyu stood there with a red face and a smile, also looking at Jia Hu.

Jia Hu looked at Jiamu's dog fight. Cough, holding the emperor to order the princes, so he had to go forward and kowtow to Jiamu.

Seeing Jia Hu kowtow, everyone clapped their hands and laughed.

Mother Jia stood up, took Jia Hu's right hand, put Lin Daiyu's hand in his, and patted it lightly twice.

Wang Xifeng came over and said with a smile: "Hey, the old ancestor is really worried too. The two of them are together every day, that is, the 'yellow eagle caught the kite's feet', both of them have buckled their rings. Others will worry about it." Everyone in the room laughed.

Lin Daiyu's face was flushed, and she wanted to say something to her, but it was hard to say, so she could only stare at her.

Wang Xifeng got even more excited, and said loudly: "Don't stare at me. It's only been a year and a half. We will be sisters-in-law soon, and I won't let you. In front of our ancestors, we They are all grandsons and daughters-in-law, you have to invite me first for tea and water. This is our family's rule."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lin Daiyu with a proud face.

Jia Mu laughed and scolded: "Bah! Shameless, I just let you climb up the pole with just a few words! Don't forget, your second master Lian is still in his hands. You have a good mouth here, and drive Minger Lian away." Er Ke will suffer."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng quickly laughed and said, "Oh, look at me, I'm drunk before drinking. You should be beaten, you should be beaten!"

Everyone laughed even more.

At this moment, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in and said with a smile: "Old lady, Grandma Liu is here."

Jiamu's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Come in, please."

Qin Keqing: "Yes." After answering, she turned and walked out.

After a while, Qin Keqing came with Grandma Liu.

Seeing Mrs. Jia, Grandma Liu walked over with a smile all over her face, knelt down and said, "Good morning, old birthday star."

Mother Jia bowed her body and said with a smile, "Please hurry up, old relatives!"

Grandma Liu got up, went to Jia Hu again and said, "Second Master."

Jia Hu smiled and waved his hand.

Grandma Liu saluted everyone with a compensatory smile.

Jia Mu said with a smile, "please sit down, old man." She also ordered Yuanyang to put the embroidered pier beside her.

Grandma Liu smiled and gave Jia Mu another blessing, and then sat down.

Jia Mu: "My old in-laws look better and better."

Grandma Liu replied with a smile: "Thanks to the old lady for a long life, I am now in good health. With the care of the second master, the family conditions are getting better and better, the food is good, and I don't work much. All, all are a little blessed. "I was embarrassed as I said it.

Seeing her squirm, everyone burst into laughter, and even Jia Hu couldn't hold back the laughter.

Mother Jia suppressed a smile and said, "The days to come will be better."

Grandma Liu: "We are just relying on the blessing of the old lady and the second master to live a good life for a few days."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded.

Grandma Liu slapped her forehead, got up hurriedly and smiled, "Look at me, I forgot everything when I saw my ancestor. I haven't even wished birthday to the birthday star yet." After finishing speaking, she went forward and wished Lin Daiyu all the blessings.

Lin Daiyu quickly returned the gift.

Youshi smiled at Jiamu: "Old lady, Grandma Liu also brought gifts."

Grandma Liu answered immediately: "It's not some outrageous filial piety, it's just a few pieces of cloth my daughter wove. Let the old lady see how she likes it."

Jiamu looked at Youshi with a smile.

Youshi understood, walked to the door and waved.

Lin Zhixiao's family came in holding a piece of cloth, walked up to Jia Hu and gave him a look, and then held it in front of Jia Mu.

Mother Jia stood up, dragged out a piece of cloth, looked at it carefully in the light outside, touched it with her fingers, and then stroked it all the way with the palm of her hand. Then she smiled and said to Grandma Liu: "This cloth is woven. It’s very flat, and I’ve lost a lot of thought.”

Grandma Liu smiled and waved her hands: "We are restless people, but we just spend our time doing farm work on weaving. Knowing that the old lady has everything, it is our little filial piety, and I keep the old lady to appreciate it." The next person is also good."

Mother Jia nodded appreciatively, and said with a smile, "How can I give such fine cloth to them? I'll keep it for my own clothes."

"Hey, hey!"

Grandma Liu smiled happily, and said to Lin Daiyu: "I don't know what color the girl likes, and I have to trouble the girl to send it to the dyeing workshop for dyeing."

Lin Daiyu smiled slightly: "Thank you, grandma."

Grandma Liu suddenly felt embarrassed again, plucked up her courage, and said, "Well, we have to weave this piece of cloth for more than 20 days. From the Mid-Autumn Festival last year to now, only eight pieces have been woven. No, not enough. The old lady and Miss Lin Two horses for each person, one for each of the two wives, aunts, and grandma Zhen. I will send over the rest of the grandmothers and young ladies after weaving them."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Mother Jia.

Jia Mu smiled: "Old relative, there's no need to do this, it's enough to have this intention. Don't tire yourself out."

Grandma Liu quickly waved her hand: "No way. It must be given as a gift."

Mother Jia thought for a while, and said to Lin Daiyu, "You first allocate one horse to your sister-in-law Zhu, and I will allocate one horse to your concubine." Then she smiled to Grandma Liu: "You still owe me and Miss Lin a horse each. Don't forget it."

"The old lady takes pity on me, it's too late to be grateful, how can I forget it!"

Grandma Liu smiled at Jia Hu again: "I brought the side dishes that Second Master said last time."

Jia Hu clasped his hands together: "You are always bothering."

At this time, Lai Sheng's family came in and said to Jia Hu: "Second Lord, the little actors are ready."

Jia Hu said with a smile to Jia's mother: "Old lady, let's go. First go to Tianxiang Tower and sit down, listen to the play, talk and laugh at the same time, and have a banquet before the end of the day."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded: "Okay. I will follow your arrangement today." Then she said to Grandma Liu: "My dear relatives, this time I will stay for a few days and go back. I will take you to visit this garden tomorrow. "

Grandma Liu replied with a smile: "I can't stay for two days, I brought clothes."

Mother Jia smiled and nodded: "That's right. Stay here for a few days before going back." Then she smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "Let's go." Everyone got up and left.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly pulled Lin Daiyu back: "Hey, I see that some jewelry looks good, my sister, you can reward me."

After hearing this, Mother Jia laughed and cursed: "I'll treat you as a tireless little hoof! Those are all birthday presents for your younger sister Lin from all the prefectures. Before she had time to see it, you missed it, so don't be ashamed!"

But Wang Xifeng didn't care at all, and replied with a smile: "No one in this family knows that sister Lin is wearing needlework from Zijuan and Qingwen, and all the jewelry she wears is made by craftsmen at home. The second sister and the others can't take it either. How much, these things are just for nothing in the end, so why don’t I pick some good ones first. Don’t worry, old lady, I’ll keep the best ones for you.”

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Since you say that, you put it away for me, and send it to me quietly when it gets dark."

After hearing this, Wang Xifeng clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's wonderful, it's the same idea as mine."

Jia Mu nodded at Wang Xifeng with a smile, and said to Lin Daiyu, "I'll help you catch the thief tonight." Everyone laughed and came out together.

After leaving the Moon Gate, we have reached the newly built stone bridge after a short walk. After crossing the Qinfang River, we will see Dengxian Pavilion and Tianxiang Tower.

Jia Hu led Lin Daiyu up the stone bridge and stopped suddenly.

Just as Lin Daiyu was about to speak, Jia Hu took out a brocade mask box from her sleeve robe, opened it, and inside lay a white jade zodiac sheep pendant.

Jia Hu untied the rope, Lin Daiyu understood, and came over, she only felt a pair of rough hands brushing her neck, and there was a piece of white jade on her chest, she held it in her hand for a while, and asked with a smile: "How do you remember?" Give me this?"

"Be safe."

"Tch, I think you really can't think of what gift to give."

"Tsk! Since you don't like it, give it to me."

"."

Lin Daiyu's eyes widened, "How can I take back what I gave away? It's still a birthday gift!"

"I want to give you a wishful jade, but it's a pity that it's hard to hold."

"."

Lin Daiyu gave him a blank look, "It's enough if you have the heart."

Jia Hu smiled, "Okay, let's go there. Otherwise, someone will come looking for you later." Leading Lin Daiyu to the Tianxiang Tower, he said, "I specially asked the civil servants to sing what you like to hear today." I won’t sing any other plays, and the old lady can’t talk anymore, so I’ll ask you to pour out a box of golden melon seeds for you to use as rewards. In the future, whoever does the errands well will reward you with one.”
