serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 73

Mrs. Zhen and the three daughters of the Zhen family had dinner with Jia's mother, and after a few gossips, they came to the hall.
Mother Jia tilted her head and listened to Mrs. Zhen talking about some housework. Mrs. Zhen smiled and said, "I remembered another thing: I heard the imperial concubine and empress talk about a brother in the Daming Palace. He is 13 years old this year. My wife loves me very much.

I said, there is such a coincidence in the world. Our family also has a brother, who is also 13 years old this year, and he also follows the old lady, also called Baoyu. "

As soon as this remark came out, Jia's mother asked, "is there such a coincidence?"

Mrs. Zhen leaned over and smiled, "From ancient times to the present, there have been many people with the same name at the same time. But this has never happened before, and we are all puzzled."

Then he smiled to Mrs. Wang and said: "This shows that our two families are very close."

Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "That's not it."

Mrs. Zhen: "Where's brother?"

Jia Mu laughed and said, "Long Li should come to kowtow to you. It's just because of the hot weather, you three girls also came, so I didn't ask him to come."

Mrs. Zhen hurriedly laughed and said: "The rules are like this, but our own family doesn't have to. Let their brothers and sisters see each other, and they will have to be taken care of by the family in the future."

The third girl from the Zhen family, who was chatting and joking with Yingchun and Tanchun next to her, was slightly startled, and then discussed with them about Jinling.

The Zhen family is different from other families, Mother Jia only ordered people to bring Yingchun and Tanchun to accompany her. As for Xichun, firstly, she is young, and secondly, this girl has a good temper, and she immediately shows her face when she is not used to things.

Jia Hu didn't speak, You Shi didn't dare to interfere, and Jia Mu couldn't say anything more.

Fortunately, this girl just likes to play with her temper, and she still knows the rules and principles.

In fact, there is another consideration, that is, the Zhen family may propose marriage on the spot. The matter of Jia Hu and Lin Daiyu is not a secret in the backyard, and Xichun's thoughts are even more secretive. It will definitely prevent the mother and daughter of the Zhen family from coming to power.

Jia Mu smiled at the mandarin ducks and said, "Call our Baoyu and show it to Mrs. Zhen's family and the girl. How is it compared to their Baoyu?"

After a while, Yuanyang brought Baoyu in. Mrs. Zhen was startled, she got up and laughed, "I was taken aback. If we met outside, we would only think it was our Baoyu."

On the one hand, he went forward and took Baoyu's hand to ask questions.

The third girl of the Zhen family was also surprised that there are such similar people in the world.At this time, Mrs. Zhen said: "Third girl, why don't you come over and see your brother."

The two recognized each other, and the third girl of Zhen's family took a look at Baoyu, then sat back and talked with Yingchun and Tanchun.

Yuanyang had already given instructions when she came, and Baoyu saw that she ignored him, so he had to sit beside her embarrassingly.

Suddenly, the chime bell rang.

Mrs. Zhen glanced at it. It's the end of the day. Why hasn't the second master of the Jia family come yet?
Wang Xifeng and Li Wan looked at each other, they both knew that Jia Hu was in the backyard.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Ping'er came in, and said with a smile: "Second Master and Miss Lin are here."

Before the words finished, Jia Hu strode in, Hu Po, Zi Juan and others surrounded Dai Yu and followed behind.

I saw Daiyu changed into some fresh clothes, dressed like Chang'e descending from the world, and walked in with a shy smile.

Yingchun and Tanchun rushed up to meet them, chatted and laughed a few words, and Daiyu came forward to greet Jia Mu.

Mother Jia looked at Daiyu lovingly, and saw that she was wearing a sky blue and green calyx plum embroidered cross-neck collar, the neckline was also green calyx plum embroidered light gold trim, a moon white round neck jacket, and a white long skirt. She wears an embroidered girdle, which is neither too plain nor too colorful.

This attire made Daiyu extraordinarily beautiful and gentle. Looking at Daiyu's delicate and charming face, Jiamu felt more satisfied with Youshi.

Wang Xifeng looked at Ping'er, then at Jia Hu, and said with a smile, "It's my fault again." Walking over to Daiyu, she said, "Forgive me for forgetting, is sister Lin also having a happy event today?"

Lin Daiyu blushed, she couldn't say anything, she lowered her head, Jia Hu smiled and said, "What do you know?" Everyone laughed.

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng saw Ping'er winking again, immediately recalled it, and said with a smile, "Not only is today a good day, but it's also a good day." After saying this, she looked at Daiyu and smiled.

Lin Daiyu raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Wang Xifeng, then lowered her head again, her face blushing even more.

Just as Jia Hu was about to talk back to her, Baoyu suddenly asked Wang Xifeng, "But just now I heard that someone was going to send a play. Is it today?"

Wang Xifeng looked at him and smiled: "You know how to watch a play."

Everyone laughed even more.

Wang Xifeng said to Jia Hu: "My uncle said that today is a good day, and I will send a group of new actors to congratulate the old lady."

Mrs. Wang: "Yes, there is another letter for you."

Ok?
Jia Hu narrowed his eyes, is this Prince Teng really shameless?
Jia Mu said, "I haven't seen the distant guest yet." She smiled at Mrs. Zhen and said, "I'm laughing at those who don't know the rules."

The mother and daughter of the Zhen family had already got up, and hurried over upon hearing the words, "The old lady was joking, this is home, besides, we are not outsiders." Then she said to the third girl of the Zhen family, "I haven't seen your brothers and sisters yet."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "You're just like our girl, call him the second elder brother." Then she said to Daiyu, "Come and see Mrs. Zhen."

"Ma'am please!"

Mrs. Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to support Daiyu, looked carefully at her, and smiled at the third girl of the Zhen family: "It's no match!" Then she took Daiyu's hand and asked, "How old is she, and what is her scientific name?" , what book to read.

Daiyu agreed one by one.

She had seen all the reactions of everyone in Jia's residence earlier, and instantly understood that the relationship between Miss Lin and Jia Hu had already been revealed, and she didn't need to open her mouth.

Jia Hu looked at the third girl of the Zhen family, and then at Tanchun. They were somewhat alike. They were both the third girl, both were concubines, and both had a brother who was a concubine. I don't know if their personalities are the same.

He glared at Baoyu, who was staring at this side stupidly, and asked the third girl of the Zhen family, "How is your brother?"

The third girl from the Zhen family was startled, thought for a while, and replied, "Brother is in Jinling helping the master with household affairs."

Jia Hu smiled: "Mundane affairs? Overkill!"

The third girl from the Zhen family: "."

Mrs. Zhen heard it from the side, and hurriedly asked: "Uncle knows our brother?"

Jia Hu smiled: "Although I haven't seen it, I've heard it mentioned by others. I think it's extraordinary."

Hearing what he said, Mrs. Zhen suddenly felt an inexplicable panic. She knew that her husband Zhen Yingjia was investigating Zhen Fu secretly. Could it be that Jia Hu knew something?Perhaps, he heard something!
Madam Zhen hesitated for a moment, but she still spoke, "Uncle, what have you heard?!"

Jia Hu waved his hand: "Ma'am, you are joking, our two families are family friends, if you really hear something, you will definitely let us know."

Madam Zhen hesitated for a moment, and looked at Jia Hu with a look that she couldn't explain clearly.

Jia Mu glanced at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng understood, and hurriedly greeted with a smile: "My wife, sit down, please sit down."

Mrs. Zhen came back to her senses, and then smiled awkwardly: "I haven't been to Beijing for many years, so I don't even recognize her. In the future, I need to visit more often."

Jia Mu: "That's exactly what I said."

Lin Daiyu was about to follow Tanchun to the side, but was grabbed by Jia Hu. She was slightly startled, and heard Jia Hu say: "I discussed with my sister-in-law yesterday, and let sister Lin learn to handle the accounts in the house. Help with housekeeping."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "It can be regarded as familiarizing yourself with the property situation of Ningguo Mansion in advance, and learning about housekeeping."

Everyone was shocked, this is a showdown, stop pretending!
Jia Mu and others all turned their attention to Lin Daiyu.

At this time, Lin Daiyu couldn't help blushing, and couldn't break free for a while, so she had to lower her head again.

Jia Hu came to his senses, quickly pulled Daiyu behind him, and smiled at everyone.

A look of relief flashed across Jia's mother's eyes, she stood up, and said to Mrs. Zhen: "The child doesn't understand the rules, and his wife will laugh at him."

As he said that, he gave Jia Hu a hard look, and then said: "A long time ago, the Jia family and the Lin family discussed it, and the two families will take care of this matter when Lin girl is out of filial piety. The master of Dongfu personally gave Lin girl Father wrote a letter, setting up the marriage of the two."

Everyone turned their suspicious eyes to Jiamu again.

Mrs. Zhen recalled it for a while, and knew that Mother Jia was gagging everyone, telling everyone that they were ordered by their parents and there was no personal affair.

If there is such a thing, it is impossible for Yuan Chun not to know about it.

Jia Hu smiled awkwardly, knowing that he had spoken recklessly.

At this moment, a servant girl's voice came from outside the door: "Grandma Xiao Rong is here."

Then, a group of daughters-in-law and servant girls surrounded Qin Keqing and came in from the door, greeted Jia Mu, and then said: "Old ancestor, the uncle and wife of the Wang family are here, and they also sent a group of new little opera singers. My wife knows it. The troupe is preparing to be in the garden now.

My mother is leading people to tidy up the Tianxiang Building, so she ordered me to invite my ancestors, wives, aunts and aunts to go there. "

He bowed to Jia Hu again, "My uncle and wife of the Wang family said that my uncle has a letter that I want to deliver to my second uncle myself."

"."

Okay, Jia Hu also understands, Wang Ziteng is not only shameless, but also wants to be a bully!
