The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 178 Jia Jiasheng Invites to Talk About Marriage (Part [-])
After Yuanyang served two cups of tea, she obediently took the rest of Jadeite and others and retreated outside the bead curtain, leaving the empty room for Jia Mu and Lu Shi to talk.

Mother Jia's face was full of concern: "If I hadn't been a guest at General Shenwu's mansion two days ago, Mrs. Feng told me that I didn't know that such a big incident happened between your family and Ouyang's family!"

Lu made an embarrassing look, and held back for a while before saying: "I'm really ashamed to say it, if the old lady didn't mention it, I wouldn't have said it anyway."

Seeing her let go, Jia's mother smiled lightly and said, "Hey, what kind of affectionate relatives are we? To put it bluntly, I've treated you like a half-daughter, and didn't take care of our Yu'er sincerely for you. It's because you are a down-to-earth child. Although the Rongguo Mansion is not very capable, there are many in-laws in the capital. They dealt with a small Ouyang family, contacted several families, and filed a memorial to impeach them. Believe it or not, they denounced their family. "

Lu smiled wryly: "I always think that Ouyang's family is still the fifth prince's birth mother's family after all."

Mother Jia said bitterly: "People are bullied by goodness, and horses are ridden by others. You are too kind, otherwise the Ouyang family would not dare to mess around. They have suffered a big loss this time, and they will not let it go. Don't make a mistake." You are so confused, you must think of a solution once and for all, so that the Ouyang family will never be able to recover for the rest of their lives!"

"How is this possible? If the fifth prince grows up in the future, he thinks that what we have done is unethical, and turns the blame on me, wouldn't I be a sinner?"

Jia's mother felt that Lu Shi's words were a bit unfounded. She had seen Zhengde before he became the prince, and he was not the kind of child who didn't know good from bad.Jia's mother said: "The fifth prince is not a child who doesn't know what to do. He has kissed Xiuyan girl since he was a child, and the relationship between the siblings is not ordinary. It can’t be redeemed. Others don’t mention it, just talk about our empress, Lord Long Live handed over the Seventh Prince to Fengzao Palace to be raised, and now the Seventh Prince only recognizes our empress, and the nanny is not happy to hug him.”

With a look of relief on Jia Mu's face, Lu hurriedly said: "My lady's condition."

"It's much better. The imperial doctor said that this disease needs to be rested. Although I can no longer compete with those young concubines, but now that the empress has something in her heart, she will look down on those things." Jiamu said sadly: "But I I always hang in my heart, afraid that my precious heart will be unwilling, in the future."

Lu said with a smile: "The old lady is too caring. Girl Bao dare not say that you watched her grow up, but think about it. Since she came to Rongguo Mansion, the old lady has treated her better than her three biological granddaughters. Precious people do nothing else, but for the affection of the old lady, and they will not be jealous of the empress."

At most, he would think of a way to take his own son back in the future!

Lu Shi secretly slandered, but his face did not reveal the slightest trace.Of course, Mother Jia was happy to hear this kind of talk, and she dragged Lu Shi to ramble on for a long time before turning to the main topic.

"Then Xiuyan gave us Tanchun the marriage proposal, does my uncle and wife still count?"

Lu Shi was slightly taken aback, Jia's mother noticed the difference sensitively, and hurriedly asked if something went wrong?
"No, no, it's just that it's been a long time, and I almost forgot about it." Lu Shi laughed dryly, thinking that Xiuyan didn't talk to herself first, why did she say that the second girl's marriage was the third girl's marriage? ?

Jia's mother didn't know the reason for this, she still smiled and said: "I think about it, the Zhang family's marriage is very good, but their wife is reluctant to let this daughter marry far away, if it's Yingchun instead."

The old lady asked Lu shi tentatively, but she was not sure if Lu shi would agree or not.

"The old lady let me go back and think about it. After all, our sister-in-law is the one who decides this matter. If she doesn't open her mouth, who of us would dare to make up her mind for her?" Mrs. Lu didn't want her daughter's tricks to be exposed in front of Jiamu, so she asked Mrs. Making an excuse to get by, when Lu Shi thought about the purpose of today's trip, he hurriedly told Jiamu about the affairs of the family.

Mother Jia naturally agreed with a thousand people.

"Although there is no father or mother, there will be no mother-in-law to suppress you in the future." Jia Mu thought for a while: "Let me think about it slowly, it is the same reason, I will give you an answer in a few days."

At first, Mrs. Lu didn't expect Jia's mother to agree immediately, so she nodded in agreement.

After lunch, Mother Jia decided to leave Xiuyan to live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a few days, and said that she would send her back to Fengwei Hutong on New Year's Eve.Mrs. Lu thought about all the troubles at home a while ago, so she sympathized with her hard work, and asked Xiuyan to stay in Rongguo Mansion.

All of a sudden, the coke spoiled Jia Baoyu. Not only did his miss Lin come back, but he also brought with him his most respected big sister Xiuyan.Jia Baoyu didn't sleep well all night, tossing and turning on the bed like pancakes.Xiren who was sleeping at the side said no, let alone no, the two of them didn't feel sleepy until dawn.

It wasn't clear until early in the morning, and several groups of people came to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but Shi Xiangyun was the first to rush.This Shi Xiangyun even ordered someone to bring his breakfast from Hengwuyuan, and insisted on eating with Daiyu and Xiuyan.Daiyu couldn't resist her, so she hurriedly asked someone to put things on.

It was only the first day when Lin Daiyu came back to stay, and the Liu family in the small kitchen personally brought steamed custard to pay her respects.

The Liu family is a very energetic woman. She stood at the door and saw the girls having dinner, so she picked out some novel and interesting stories to tell her.Daiyu is fine, she has seen a lot of things in the world with Steward Xiuyan, but Shi Xiangyun, who has always been active, seems to be listening to heaven.Every time the Liu family talked about the wonderful things, Shi Xiangyun didn't even care about the food, and just kept asking what happened next.

The Liu family was proud of it, and they talked about it in their mouths.

Not long after, Li Wan brought two girls into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Seeing that breakfast hadn't been removed from the room, he laughed and said, "Quickly remove it. No matter how many guests have entered the house, you, the master, are still eating and drinking." ?”

Zijuan and Meilian had each brought a silver tray over to serve tea.The members of the Liu family would look at each other, knowing that it would be counterproductive to talk about it any further, so they hurriedly laughed and said, "Oh, I don't know the girls have clubs here, so I'll go back to the kitchen and get some side dishes for the girls. It's such a cold day. Warm a pot of shochu, and you will feel warm all over your body."

Shi Xiangyun patted the table and laughed: "Very good, very good. Mother Liu should have done this long ago!"

Li Wan saw it, shook his head secretly, raised his hand and pulled the two natal sisters to sit on the two chairs farthest from Shi Xiangyun.

Xiuyan saw everything in her eyes, and when she saw Shi Xiangyun again, she didn't seem to notice this alienation at all, Xiuyan couldn't help sneering, and then warmly greeted Li Coco and Li Qi sisters.

Li Coco and Li Qi have long wanted to get close to Xing Xiuyan, but they never had the chance.It's not because they have received favors from the Xing family, but because the two sisters admire Xing Xiuyan a lot, so they want to get close.

While everyone was chatting and laughing, some little maid outside called out loudly, "Second Master Bao". Jia Baoyu picked up the curtain and walked in. Everyone saw that there was a little silver frost hanging on Baoyu's brooch , couldn't help asking: "But it's snowing?"

Baoyu took off his cloak, and was not in a hurry to get close, lest the cold on his body would freeze them, he just stood beside the brazier and said with a smile: "There are two snowflakes floating, it's not a problem, but I look at it and say it's joy. The bigger the snow, the better, we will be more interested in writing poems!"

Xiuyan frowned, Coco Li saw doubts, and tugged at Xiuyan's sleeve: "Sister, why are you frowning?"

Xiuyan sighed: "I don't know how many people freeze to death on the streets every year without food and clothing. They just hope that God will take pity on them and save a few snowfalls. After all, it's just to get through this winter."

Coco Li's heart was heavy, Li Qi leaned closer and heard clearly what Xiuyan was saying, she couldn't help lowering her head sadly.

Jia Baoyu over there has already sat upright, insisting that Zijuan immediately move out the two pots of narcissus he gave to Daiyu: "I ate at the old lady's place this morning, and there was venison on the table. My sister loves this, so I begged the old lady to give me a piece, and when we get tired of writing lyrics, we will cook and eat meat.”

This remark fit Shi Xiangyun's heart, she clapped her hands again and again, praising Baoyu for handling the matter properly.

But Daiyu glared at Jia Baoyu unhappily, Baoyu's smile froze on her face, and she stopped talking embarrassingly.

When Tanchun arrives, Liu's family has already brought a food box, which contains seven or eight fruit plates, or plum cake, or preserved foie gras, or cold lotus root cubes, or stir-fried tripe A table is full, and the color and luster match coincidentally, which whets the appetite.

Zicuckoo is even more powerful. I don't know where a jar of flower carvings has been conjured up. Greedy Baoyu circles around Zicuckoo, screaming at each other like a good sister.

Shi Xiangyun limply leaned against Daiyu, and said with a smile, "It turns out that Sister Lin is also a hidden person, and none of us sisters dare to secretly hide wine!"

Daiyu smiled but said, "This Yun girl has such a vicious mouth, when did I hide the wine? You guys clamored to start a club, and Zijuan asked her brother to buy wine from outside all night."

Shi Xiangyun, as if he couldn't understand the sarcasm in it, just said: "I can only write poetry when I drink wine, and I can't do it without wine. Good sister, please ask Zijuan to warm up the wine, and we will eat it to our heart's content. Writing poetry well is serious."

Fearing that the girl would lose her temper, Zijuan hurriedly sent the little maids to warm the wine.The two pots of narcissus in full bloom were placed in the middle of the room. Xichun picked up a pen and paper from Lin Daiyu's desk, and sketched the graceful and slender narcissus with several monochromatic colors.

Seeing that Zijuan was busy going in and out, Baoyu took a careful look at Xiuyan and Daiyu. Seeing that they were not paying attention, Baoyu followed Zijuan out of the main hall.

"Zicuckoo, Zicuckoo!"

Zijuan was standing on the steps of the outer room talking to the little maid, when she turned her head and saw Jia Baoyu coming over: "It's cold outside, why don't you go in and have a drink?"

Baoyu hurriedly apologized and smiled: "I have something to ask you. Do you remember that when the theater was dispersed, my wife sent those little opera singers to us!"

Zijuan nodded: "Why don't you remember? The lotus official was given to our girl. Just now she helped me make wine in the back. Didn't you see?"
