Red Mansion Beijingwang

The main hall of the east courtyard.

Jia's mother sat on the soft floor, accompanied by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Li Wan. They coaxed the old lady to talk casually, and she seemed quite comfortable.

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Ancestor, the prince and eldest sister are here."

Hearing the words, Jia Mu and others hurriedly stood up to greet them. Li Wan's bright eyes looked outside the curtain, and there was hope in the willow leaves' thin eyebrows, making her feel uneasy.

The prince had promised her in the past that he would take Lange'er with him when she came to the Duke's Mansion. I don't know if she did so today. A gentle young man like the prince would not coax her, a widowed woman!

Not long after, Sister Feng twisted her waist and led everyone into the house. After Jia Mu and others saw it, they stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I have met the prince and the princess."

Although he is an elder, he still needs to have the due respect and dignity.

Shui Rong gently nodded his head, and after some polite greetings, everyone sat down separately. As soon as they sat down, Sister Feng said: "Old Ancestor, the noble man has brought you here. There is still something busy in Dongfu, so I will go over first. .”

Hearing this, Jia Mu smiled and nodded, waving her hands and saying: "Go, go, do things carefully, don't let others see the joke."

Sister Feng agreed with a smile, gave a generous assurance, and then left in a hurry, as if she was really just to guide Shui Rong and others.

Immediately Jia Lan came out to meet Jia Mu and others.

Mother Jia looked at Jia Lan in front of her, nodded and said, "Brother Lan looks a lot stronger."

When Jia Lan heard this, he said with a serious face: "In reply to the old lady, my uncle said that teaching should not be partial to one subject. It requires both civil and military skills. In addition to daily homework, you also need to learn riding and archery."

Jia's mother was very unhappy with Jia Lan's seriousness, and seemed like an outsider. Not only Jia's mother, but also Mrs. Wang, who was her grandmother, was also unhappy, and was far less intimate than Baoyu.

But they are serious blood relatives after all. After hearing Jia Lan's words, Jia Mu nodded and said: "Your uncle has high expectations for you, so don't slack off. Okay, I've been away from home for a long time, go down and talk to your mother!"

Li Wan's eyes were all red at this time. If he hadn't been looking after Jia Mu and the others, he would have rushed forward. Now that the son he thought about day and night was so close in front of him, his heart couldn't stop trembling.

Now that Jia Mu had spoken, Li Wan stepped forward and took Jia Lan down.

Mrs. Wang looked around. She didn't notice before. Why are Jia Huan and the third girl not here now? Could it be that the prince didn't bring them?
Watching Li Wan's mother and son leave, Shui Rong felt inexplicable. The widowed woman, whose "heart felt like withered", had such an idea, but it was indeed cruel to let him deprive her of it.

After groaning, Shui Rong glanced at the beauty beside him and said softly: "Yuan Chun, what do you think about letting Lang Ge'er stay?"

The reason why he brought Jia Lan and Jia Huan, two children of the Jia family, with him in the first place was simply to stabilize the hearts of the Jia family. Now, the deep love between mother and son is not easy to handle. Jia Mu and others also know that, so it will not be a problem. Unbalanced mind.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang paused when they heard this, but they didn't say much, their eyes falling on Yuan Chun.

Although Yuanchun did not have a child yet, he was devoted to having children and was very obsessed with children. He also took his younger brother with him. Seeing Li Wan's deep affection for his mother, he felt a lot in his heart and felt a little bit in his heart. After making some calculations, he said, "I don't think it's necessary to do this. Just let Sister-in-law Zhu and her sisters come to the palace as guests more often."

If he returns to the Duke's Mansion, he will no longer be the prince's companion, and his future will still be slightly inferior.

Yuanchun was very optimistic about Jialan. He was diligent in studies and praised by his teachers. How could Yuanchun turn a blind eye to such a talented person in the family and his eldest nephew.

After saying that, Yuanchun looked at Jia Mu and asked, "What do you think, grandma?"

At present, after all, Yuanchun is from the palace, and Li Wan is the widow of the Jia family, so it is still up to Jia's mother to make the decision.

Mother Jia didn't care about this. Since Yuanchun had made the decision, she had nothing to refute, so she responded: "That's fine, just listen to the big girl."

Shui Rong remained silent, chatting for a few words, then stood up and said: "Old lady, mother-in-law, let Yuanchun accompany you to talk about yourself. I'll go see my sisters." The mother's family still needs to give Yuanchun some private space. .

Yuanchun also knew the meaning of water-melting, her starry eyes were filled with starlight, and the eyes she looked at the young man became more and more affectionate. Every time she came to the Duke's mansion, her husband would leave some time for her to get together with her family. How could such a considerate husband? Can you not be moved?

Mrs. Wang also understood that this son-in-law was indeed satisfactory and could not find fault at all.
Jia Mu didn't say much and said, "Yuanyang, you lead the prince to the ear room."

Yuanyang, who was wearing a lilac vest with a navy collar and a light aqua skirt, and an amber embroidered sweat scarf tied around her waist, responded. Lian walked up to Shui Rong and bowed Yingying.

Shui Rong nodded, told Yuan Chun, then stood up and left the main hall under Yuanyang's guidance.

Walking to the corridor, Shui Rong looked at the tall and well-proportioned Yuanyang in front of him, and suddenly asked: "Yuanyang, are you a son of a family in the mansion?"

When Yuanyang heard this, his expression was slightly startled, and there was some doubt in his eyebrows. However, although he did not know what the prince meant, he still replied: "In response to the prince, I am a son of the family, and I have been serving the old lady since I was a child."

Shui Rong nodded lightly, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said casually: "You are not young now, does the old lady have any plans for your future life?"

At the moment, this mandarin duck is in his prime years. In this era, he is already an old girl. After a few years, he will be let out. He can't stay in Jia's house and be an old girl!

Yuanyang paused when he heard this, and his heart couldn't help but be startled. The prince asked, could it be that
Holding the embroidered handkerchief in his bare hands, Yuanyang never looked back and continued to lead the way, softly replying: "I only want to serve the old lady, and there is nothing else to think about. How can I know how the old lady arranges it?"

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously when he heard this. It seems that Yuanyang was so highly valued by Jia Mu, so it was impossible that he had not made plans for Yuanyang. In the original work, Jia Mu asked Jia Lian to take Yuanyang back many times as a joke, which was inevitably Jia Mu's plan. , but they were all pushed away by Sister Feng with a smile.

Of course, this is all an idea, and the specifics are unknown.

But then again, if Shui Rong said something so obvious, Yuanyang would not understand what it meant. For a powerful person like him, as long as he showed some words, a lot of his daughters would rely on him.

However, Yuanyang is different. This girl abides by her own rules and never breaks the rules. She is loyal and upright. This is quite admirable. She is indeed the most loyal among the four fierce maids in the Red Mansion.

After groaning, Shui Rong asked with a smile: "The old lady is already old, so you don't have any plans for yourself?"

Yuanyang's heart tightened when she heard this. She was [-]% sure before, but now she is [-]% sure.

Biting her pink lips tightly, Yuanyang turned around, looked at the extremely noble young man in front of her, and bowed: "I thank you for your love. It's just that the old lady treats me so kindly. At the moment, I just want to serve the old lady to repay my kindness." , there is nothing else to think about.”

Shui Rong listened to Yuanyang's polite refusal, and the smile on his lips became fuller, and he said, "If you have no place to go in the future, you can come to the palace to serve Yuanchun. It's up to you whether you want to or not."

Yuanyang's appearance is beautiful, not outstanding for those who have seen the color, but her temperament is admirable. The inner beauty is the real beauty, and those who have a good skin will sooner or later lose their luster and cannot hold on. how long.

Moreover, Yuanyang's skin is really not bad, which means that it is beautiful both inside and outside.

However, the reason why Shui Rong brought up this matter is because in the original work, with the death of Jia's mother, Yuanyang, who had no backer, committed suicide by hanging himself from a beam in order to avoid the humiliation, and ended up with a tragic end.

At present, Shui Rong is a way out for Yuanyang. Once Jia's mother dies, Yuanyang can no longer live in Jia's house. He can also come to the palace to serve Yuanchun, so as not to feel that there is no way out in Jia's house and commit suicide.

After that, Shui Rong said no more and walked forward.

Yuanyang looked at the young man's figure, and his heart could not help but soften a bit. In fact, as Shui Rong, Yuanyang could not refuse anything he said to Jia's mother.

It's just that the young man's tolerant demeanor made him feel confused. Maybe he wouldn't have anywhere to go in the future, but it wasn't like he couldn't go to the palace.
Thinking of this, Yuanyang's fair cheeks with a few invisible freckles turned a bright red, she lowered her head and spat secretly: "In a few years, we will all be old girls, how can the prince still look up to me?" , I’m really stunned.” (End of chapter)
