————————————————————

After being comforted by Hua Xiren, Jia Baoyu's mood has improved a lot.After washing and tidying up, he headed towards Mrs. Jia's yard.

Jia Baoyu didn't expect that as soon as he entered the hall, he saw Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng coming out together, talking and laughing. Jia Baoyu gave them a complicated look, then hurriedly stopped, turned to one side, saluted and smiled: "I have seen Lian's second brother." , Sister Feng."

Jia Baoyu's smile was not as cheerful and bright as it used to be, it looked extraordinarily dark and embarrassed, even a little at a loss.

Jia Lian thought about it carefully, probably since the day when Mr. Huang got married, Jia Baoyu had been hiding from him since he talked with Jia Baoyu at night by candlelight. Although what he said was very good at the time, in the end...

Jia Lian sighed, frowned, and was about to say something when Wang Xifeng hurriedly smiled at Jia Baoyu, "Go in quickly, the old lady is waiting." After finishing speaking, Wang Xifeng pulled Jia Lian's sleeve and said, "My lord has something to do." Hurry up, don't delay Brother Bao, I'll go see how the stove is getting ready."

Jia Lian turned around and looked at Wang Xifeng, knowing that Wang Xifeng didn't want him to talk to Jia Baoyu, and seeing the cold light in Wang Xifeng's bright smile, Jia Lian sighed, and said nothing more, Jia Baoyu nodded and strode away.

Seeing this, Jia Baoyu laughed hurriedly and said, "Sister Feng, go and do your work. I'll go in and pay my respects to my ancestors." As he said that, he cupped his hands and hurried into the courtyard.

Mrs. Jia had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Jia Baoyu coming in, she did not wait for Jia Baoyu to salute, so she shouted from a distance with tears in her eyes, "Come here quickly! My Baoyu is here."

Seeing that old lady Jia was so sad, Jia Baoyu was also very sad, but Jia Baoyu is not what he was a few years ago.It was not suitable for my family to live here, but now that the master and wife have made up their minds to move out, it is always good.In addition, as Xiren said last night, I often come back to visit my ancestors.

Jia Baoyu put away his sadness, took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Baoyu came to pay his respects to the ancestors. Today, Baoyu will follow the master and wife to move to the house in Dongcheng Sanjing Hutong. I am here to say goodbye to the ancestors. "

As soon as I said this, the old lady Jia hugged Jia Baoyu and started crying. If it was normal, maybe the old lady Jia would tell Jia Zheng and his wife to go by themselves and leave Jia Baoyu by her side, but Now, especially after what happened in Dong Mansion, Mrs. Jia didn't say anything, she just hugged Jia Baoyu and cried.

Seeing that old lady Jia was so sad, Jia Baoyu felt a little flustered, and hurriedly comforted him: "It's only half an hour's journey from our residence to Sanjing Hutong. Don't worry, my ancestor, Baoyu will come to pay my respects to my ancestor every day."

Hearing that Jia Baoyu said that he would come to greet him every day, Mrs. Jia stopped crying and supported Jia Baoyu's shoulders. Through her tear-stained eyes, Mrs. Jia saw a face that had matured unconsciously.The old lady Jia didn't say anything, but hugged Jia Baoyu in her arms in comfort.

After a long time, Mrs. Jia asked, "Have Baoyu eaten?" Seeing that Jia Baoyu had said that he had eaten, Mrs. Jia nodded, hesitated for a long time before exhorting: "Now it's not like before. The master wants to stand on his own. Baoyu You need to help more, and you have to learn to support the family."

Old lady Jia spoke very slowly, and Jia Baoyu heard it very clearly. This was to make herself... Jia Baoyu looked up at old lady Jia in disbelief, but old lady Jia wiped her tears, Avoiding Jia Baoyu's gaze, he murmured, "I'm old and useless. I can't protect you much anymore."

After the old lady Jia finished speaking, she began to cry again, but Jia Baoyu really understood what the old lady Jia meant, and couldn't help but feel chills in her heart. Looking at the old lady Jia who was crying so hard, Jia Baoyu took a deep breath, and was about to comfort the two. After a few words, Hu Po opened the curtain outside the door and raised her voice, "Second Master, Second Mistress is here!"

Now in Jia's mansion, apart from Jia Baoyu and a few other people, no one calls Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang anymore.

Jia Zheng entered the room and saw Jia Baoyu being hugged by the old lady Jia. He coughed in dissatisfaction and reprimanded in a low voice: "How old are you? You still have no rules! You can't stand up yet." If it was before, Mrs. Jia would still say a few words, but at this time, Mrs. Jia is in no mood and has no energy to say more.

The old lady Jia let go of Jia Baoyu's arm and nodded to Jia Baoyu.Jia Baoyu stood up, saluted Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and stood behind Jia Zheng.

After Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang saluted and greeted them, before they could say goodbye, the old lady Jia took a deep breath, waved her hand and said, "Go, go there early, don't miss the auspicious time." He closed his red and swollen eyes from crying, and leaned on the pillow.

Jia Zheng frowned and glanced at the old lady Jia who was sleeping with her eyes closed, bowed and said: "Yes, I will follow the old lady's order, and my son will pass now." After speaking, he got up and walked out.Seeing this, Mrs. Wang gave Jia Baoyu a glance, and hurriedly saluted, saying that she would be well and came to pay her respects to Mrs. Jia, and pulled Jia Baoyu out together.

After Jia Zheng and his wife walked away, the old lady Jia opened her eyes, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes and into her temples.Seeing this, Yuanyang sighed, wanting to be relieved, but really didn't know where to start.

When the mandarin ducks were writing their manuscripts and hesitating how to comfort the old lady Jia, the old lady Jia said quietly: "Let's go, let's go, I'm old, I can't protect anyone..." After the old lady Jia finished speaking, she closed the door again. squinted.Obviously, it was just talking to himself before.

Over there, Mrs. Wang dragged Jia Baoyu out of Mrs. Jia's yard, and asked all the way if the things were packed, if there was anything missing, etc...etc.

Jia Baoyu lowered his head all the way, a little silent, Mrs. Wang didn't care, after all, no matter what, Jia Baoyu still followed her honestly, asking and answering, although not as close as before, but still respectful.

Mrs. Wang didn't go to Jia Baoyu's Yihong Courtyard or the outer study, but took Jia Baoyu directly into the carriage and out of Yimen.

Outside the main gate, Jia Baoyu helped Mrs. Wang get out of the carriage, and then helped Mrs. Wang into another carriage with red lacquer and blue top carving. Now the big house and the second room in Jia's house are not separated?
Jia Baoyu walked up to the white horse that Mingyan had pulled out and stood still. After a while, Jia Zheng also came out.Jia Baoyu looked behind Jia Zheng, but couldn't see anyone else, so he couldn't help frowning.It was not until Zhou Ruilai reported that the boxes and cages had been counted and loaded on the truck, and we were ready to set off.Jia Baoyu didn't see anyone else coming out either.

Jia Baoyu didn't see anyone else coming out, so it wasn't because he had bad eyesight, but because no one came out to see him off.Needless to say, Mrs. Jia, Jia Lian and his wife also went out of the city one step ahead of Mrs. Wang and others, saying that they were welcoming Jia Amnesty's return, and there were several old and young men from the clan accompanying them.

Mrs. Wang gritted her teeth tightly about this, she never expected that the auspicious date she had chosen was actually the return date of Jia She's family!

Obviously, the return date cannot be set today, and it is impossible for Jia Lian and his wife to receive the news today, but no one told her, it seems that she was kicked out.

In Madam Wang's opinion, this was intentional!It's humiliating!Not only Mrs. Wang, but also Jia Zheng, who is known as upright and upright, felt his teeth itch with hatred at this moment.Even Jia Baoyu's eyes dimmed a bit when he thought about his previous encounter with Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

In fact, Jia Lian and his wife only received the news last night, but Wang Xifeng was naturally happy to see it.Of course, even if you say it, Mrs. Wang and others will not believe it.

After standing for a while, Jia Zheng's distorted expression returned to calm. He got into the first carriage and said loudly, "Let's go!" Jia Baoyu quickly got on the horse and rode beside him.Thirty or forty horse-drawn carts and ox carts slowly headed towards Mitsui Hutong in Dongcheng.
