No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

If we continue chatting, we are already on the boat. The next stop is a small town. If we stay there for two days, it will only take a few hours for the boat to pass. Taking advantage of the good sunshine in the afternoon, she basked on the deck with her eyes covered, while Jia Xuan sat next to her.

"I don't like chatting with people like this. I don't think I respect people very much if I don't look at them." The old lady lay on her stomach, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"You haven't recovered your energy yet. It's a good time to recuperate." Jia Xuan insisted.

"You don't want to take advantage of me so that you don't have to talk, right?" Ou Mengmeng almost wanted to give him a look, "You... let's change our name?"

She still felt in her heart that "Xiong Er" might be more affectionate. However, since it has been adopted, the name must be changed. She would have to get used to the name she gave him. But when I think of the "hypocrisy" that Old Man Meng said, it really makes people laugh. This bad old man is really damaging. You can imagine how annoying he was in the court.

"Have you heard?" Jia Xuan laughed again. When the old man snatched the prize, he laughed out loud, which made the old man angry. It felt like a punch hitting cotton, so I ignored him. Now Jia Xuan really feels that he is happy every day. Why didn't he feel so happy before? He was often at Jia's house before.

"Stop smiling like a fool every day, your uncle said, you are about to become a fool." Ou Mengmeng felt that this fool could not be had anymore.

"How wonderful, uncle, doesn't he like fools? Isn't Brother Chong very stupid? I heard that the second sister is also used to it now. The second sister makes him sleeves and cotton trousers. Speaking of winter trousers, the inners are The lining will be made of silk and the outer part will be made of cotton. It’s comfortable this way and you won’t have to worry about it being rubbed around.”

"Be careful what you say, don't ruin your sister's reputation." The old lady closed her eyes and scolded her lightly. Jia Ying got engaged, so there had to be some interaction between Jia Ying and Zhao Chong. It has to pave the way for their future life. But after all, they haven't gotten married yet, and there are so many girls in the family, so even the girls probably don't know what Jia Ying did for Zhao Chong. He could tell with his toenails that Zhao Chong must have been bragging to his senior brother. This is a common characteristic of men. If you point them out and don’t brag, they will say that a man is a boy until he dies.

"Grandma, if you want to live a long life, you can see the fourth generation." Jia Xuan hurriedly took the opportunity to say. He couldn't bear to see the old lady aging so quickly.

"Go, I've already seen the fourth generation. How old is Lan'er? Your second brother Lian has three children." Ou Mengmeng snorted, as if he was curious.

Jia Yuan laughed again. The old lady didn't say that there were three more in Jia Yuan's place. The fourth generation inside and outside the old lady is really complete.

"I haven't given birth yet? You don't want to see it?"

"No, my girl is not allowed to get married until she is [-] years old. Otherwise, she will be old soon." The old lady lay down and closed her eyes. She felt that she was about to fall asleep. Who invented it? It’s hard not to fall asleep when an old man lies down and basks in the sun like this!

"Oh, it's okay. You have grandsons, grandsons, and disciples. It's good." Jia Xuan choked. As expected, the old lady is not easy to deceive.

"Let's get down to business! You know me, I never like to challenge the system. Although I disdain these ethics, I respect them. Because I know that although it is a history of blood and tears of cannibalism, I can rely on this to live well." Ou Meng Meng buried her face in her arms. She didn't want others to see her helplessness and shame. This is the environment she is in and she dare not make changes. She can only acquiesce and guarantee that she will not eat people when she is not threatened. "So I still want to know, grandson and Amber..."

"Meng Yin, this is her real name. When she was born, she cried as well as she sang. Later I had someone teach her how to sing. Basically, she was tone deaf." Ou Mengmeng hurriedly corrected her, then smiled and chatted with the smart person. It's really effortless.

"Yes, so does the child. In fact, in the past few years, the grandson has met more with Hu... no, with Miss Meng. You know, sometimes I also live in the front yard, and she is the one who comes to ask people to clean up and pass messages for you. , help you deliver things, and she takes care of all the outside matters for you. I send people to deliver things, or I deliver things to you myself. Maybe it’s a habit, and I always go to her. Because there is no pressure on everyone, these years, She is the one who spends the most time with the children." Jia Xuan also knew that and would always say it.

Ou Mengmeng thought about it and nodded. She accepted this reason because the rules in the house were strict now and the maids all knew not to climb on the bed. After a few years, I gave up this idea.

And Meng Yin is the king among them. He has long said that no one in his house can be someone else's mistress. They should all be hired carefully to be the right ladies. And with Amber's previous wealth and status, it would be easy to marry a poor man or find a Jia brother in the back streets of Jia's family. And we guarantee that we will not betray you in the future.

She wouldn't even think about being Xiong Er's little wife, so they should have been normal when they met before. You are a guest, and I am taking care of some things for the old lady. We all know each other, but we are not related to each other.

"You don't have such a girl in your house?" Ou Mengmeng didn't like to say the word servant, especially when it meant something. Generally, servants will get along well with the young master they are close to. It’s only when you don’t have feelings that you can be kind.

"After I went to the Ministry of Punishment, I never used a maid. In... the Xiong family, my mother-in-law took care of the courtyard. However, when I went back these years, I washed and ate at the Ministry of Punishment. And I also went to the school to play with my uncle. ." Jia Xuan shook his head.

The servants in the Xiong Mansion would dislike his clothes, saying they were afraid of being exposed to the bad luck of the dead. So his clothes always get ruined very quickly. So for a long time, he wore coarse clothes on the grounds that it would be easier to handle cases. Later, there was a woman behind the yamen who specialized in laundry and helped with ironing. It was not expensive. Later, he found that the food in the yamen was not bad. The main thing was that everyone ate together, which made him feel comfortable. He didn't want to go home, not because of Jia Yuan. He didn't want to go home before.

"So, apart from Yuan'er, she is the only one who has been able to get close to you in these years." Ou Mengmeng deliberately pulled out the thorn in advance when mentioning Jia Yuan. She didn't ask Jia Xuan, but the fact that he asked his mother to propose marriage was already telling. But she knew that Jia Yuan had no feelings for him. Okay, there are feelings, but the feelings are not enough to support her to face that man's mother.

"Yes, Yuan'er is very good." Jia Xuan took a deep breath. They haven't seen each other in these years. The last time they heard her voice was that the old lady was sick, and Yuan'er yelled at him in the inner room. , let him give the acupuncture quickly. At that time, when he heard that roar, he was quite happy, because this would only happen if he was close. Just missed it.

Ou Mengmeng raised her face, wanting to see Jia Xuan, but her eyes were covered.

I bought mackerel dumplings and cuttlefish dumplings. I read in the book that they were very delicious. I went to Shandong several times, especially Qingdao, and even stayed there for a few days, but I never thought of trying them. I cooked a few of each at noon. Is it because they were quick-frozen? I thought the taste was average.
