The Concubine Wushuang of Red Mansion

Chapter 22 My sister has changed
Jia She and Mrs. Xing hurriedly stood up, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang did not dare to sit down, and several wives on the ground who were qualified to listen to the training hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Only Jia Baoyu, sitting next to the old lady, leaned into the old lady's arms and covered her ears.

The old lady held her dearest child in her arms, caressing and comforting her, and said, "The old ones don't look good, and the young ones don't look good! Ever since I came to this house and became my great-grandson's daughter-in-law, It has been 50 or [-] years now. Every year, my Jia family gives out porridge and money to so many outsiders. I don’t know when this family was short of these few taels of silver!"

Mrs. Xing's face turned red. Jia She glanced at Mrs. Xing dissatisfiedly and lowered her head without daring to speak.

"And you!" Mother Jia scolded Jia Cong angrily, "You were raised by your aunt, who was also a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family. You don't know that the hardships a person endures have a certain amount and a cause and effect? ​​Can you teach me that? You do such heartless and evil things, you scholar, since your husband taught you good poetry, don’t you even understand this truth?”

Jia Cong said, "Of course the old lady's lesson is right, but this matter has nothing to do with my aunt. If my aunt had this intention, she wouldn't have to wait until now to light up the lamp and stay up all night doing needlework and exhaust her body before she came up with this." There's a way."

"It was all my own idea. The old lady must have heard the saying that children from poor families have long been the masters of the family. Even though I am not old, I also understand that men should strive for self-improvement. Now that I am older, I can no longer let it go. My aunt worked so hard for me and sacrificed her life in vain. Since I am a son of the Jia family and a grandson of the country, how can I not understand such a superficial truth? "

Mother Jia looked at her grandson, who looked as graceful as a pine tree, and was speechless. No matter she said soft or hard words, he always had something to say waiting for him at such a young age, and the deep meaning and truth in his words were also there. The momentum is as high as the Dao is.

It would be useless to say any more.

Besides, this matter is really unreasonable for an elder.

Jia Mu sighed and said to Jia She, "If I take care of things in your house on your behalf, how will you be my father in the future? I can't control this matter anymore. If you take it all back, what will you do?" , I don’t care whether you beat him to death or give him a scolding!"

"Yes, it's my son's fault. Old lady, take care of yourself and don't be angry. It's your son who is unfilial!"

Jia She was furious when he saw Baoyu rolling in the old lady's arms. He resisted the urge to make a move in front of others and walked out. When he saw Mrs. What?"

Mrs. Xing followed Jia She, and Jia Cong followed Mrs. Xing. When they got out of the Chuihua Gate, the boys pulled two green carriages with green roofs. Jia She and Mrs. Xing got on the carriages and drove away. .

Jia Cong ignored the gazes of the crowd and brushed off the non-existent dust on his shoulders and the hem of his robe, walked forward with his head held high and his chest high.

After exiting the west corner gate, go east, pass the three animal-headed gates in front of Rongguo Mansion, and less than an arrow's distance away is the black gate of the courtyard where Jia She lives.

Wang Xifeng waited until Jia She and Mrs. Xing left before entering the house.

It was getting late now, Jia Mu didn't say anything about setting out the meal, and the maids and women stood on the ground holding their breath, silent.

"The old lady is just a little person, she just made some jokes, why does she still care about it? Could it be that the old lady saw that Brother Cong was better born than Brother Bao, and wanted to ignore Brother Bao? Will you call Brother Cong to come here to hurt you in the future?" Wang Xifeng smiled to please the old lady.

"We just went out. Whose car did your brother take out?" The old lady was not confused.

Wang Xifeng pursed her lips. She was the head of the inner court of Rongguo Mansion, and her husband Jia Lian was in charge of the outside affairs. There was nothing in the whole house that did not go unnoticed by her. She couldn't help but mused, "Master and Mrs. They all took carriages, and Brother Cong probably wanted to take a walk, so he walked back."

"I see that the child is wearing a pair of single shoes. It's such a cold day!" The old lady sighed, "You are young and don't know. If someone is someone who shouldn't be around, we won't care. No matter what, he won't hate us. Come up. But he is a descendant of the Jia family after all. How can he not feel resentful in his heart when he is so indifferent and neglectful?"

The old lady wanted to say "abuse", "What's more, your wife is also ignorant. If you throw him to his aunt, what good can his aunt do to your master?" "My ancestors are partial, I I've been hanging around my ancestor all day long, but I haven't seen my ancestor feel sorry for me at all! No matter what, he is still a child, is it possible that he can turn the world upside down? He is not good, and there are the master and the second master Lian. No matter what, ancestors, just be happy and don't be so worried that you can't even eat. That's our blessing. The girls and Brother Bao are still hungry."

The old lady was really happy. She did not punish Jia Cong for not coming to greet her today. She thought that the child also knew what was good and what was bad.

"Call the girls to come out. It's time for dinner. Yesterday's ham and bamboo shoot soup tasted pretty good."

"It has been prepared for a long time. I also heard that the old lady had a bowl of rice with the bowl of soup yesterday, so I said that I would add a dish like this today. If the old lady can't finish it, give me two bites." Wang Xifeng said hurriedly.

"Everything you can eat is yours!" the old lady said with a smile.

Li Wan led Daiyu and Sanchun out and heard Wang Xifeng making the old lady happy and said with a smile, "I'm used to talking, but who knew he was greedy and said the old lady wanted to eat."

With the two people joining in the fun, the old lady became even more happy.

Daiyu sat down next to the old lady, but what she was thinking about was what she heard in the Bisha cabinet just now, and her eyes couldn't help but look towards the place where Jia Cong was standing just now.

She could clearly hear it inside. Even when facing questioning from the elders, Brother Cong was not afraid at all, but calm and calm, just like the back she saw in the snow, as straight as a pine tree.

No one asked Jia Mu about Jia Cong, but everyone felt uneasy.

Except for Baoyu, he was sitting on the other side of Jia Mu. Seeing Daiyu looking like she was absent-minded, he asked secretly, "Good sister, why have you been ignoring me these past few days? Did I say something wrong?" Is my sister unhappy? I'm here to apologize to my sister!"

Daiyu was taken aback, "What are you talking about? What do I want you to compensate for? You have nothing to make me unhappy."

"Then, good sister, please pay attention to me! Talk to me more! I feel very bored when I am alone."

Baoyu said, coming over to take Daiyu's hand. Daiyu hurriedly raised her hand and half-covered her face with a handkerchief, feeling a little strange about this person.

"I'm not ignoring you. If you're bored, just read more. My uncle and aunt will be happier."

Jia Baoyu stared at Daiyu blankly, as if he had been struck by lightning. He did not expect that such a fairy-like sister would come, and she would be someone who paid attention to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. God was really blind.

Baoyu only felt that God was unfair, and his mind was in confusion. He pointed at Daiyu and said randomly, "You are such a person, and I recognized you for nothing!"

Daiyu was pointed by his finger and didn't quite understand what he said. She became anxious and burst into tears, "Who am I? What kind of person am I, and what does it have to do with you? If you recognize me for nothing, then It’s no use recognizing me, I’m not here to wake you up!”

"When did I wake you up? I just asked you a question and you got angry. Why didn't you know you hurt my heart when you said those words?"
