After that day, sure enough, Jia's mother called Jia Zheng and instructed her to purchase the matter of sacrificing the field and learning the field, as well as donating the superintendent to Baoyu. And Baoyu has really changed her face since that day, going to school every day to study, sometimes not even coming back at night, and everyone who provokes her looks sideways, saying how this person has changed his temper all of a sudden. Some people guessed that he didn't have a long life, and he didn't know which tendon was connected wrong to work so hard, and after this boom, he would probably be as lazy and wandering as before.
But at least it has been a few days now, and Baoyu has not slackened, Mrs. Wang eats fasting and recites the Buddha, saying that the Bodhisattva has appeared, and her son has turned back. I just wanted to laugh, but I couldn't.
Because he just received the news, Jia Lian is coming back.
I was at a loss for a while, because there was a welcome to send to the entertainment, Mrs. Wang was too lazy to go, so I took this errand to the house where the surname Song had contacts and acquaintances, and the old lady of that family had a birthday and went to pay a salute. Presented the gift list, kowtowed in front of the old lady, received the gift, and the official ladies and dependents who did not know each other gathered together, setting up a banquet and passing the play, the eyes were full of red and green clothes, and the ears were full of noisy voices, and there was a little panic in my heart, and I couldn't shake it or erase it.
It's false to say don't be afraid. How to deal with Jia Lian, I don't have much experience. I didn't deal with the opposite sex alone before, I went to school for a few years when I was a child, and then I couldn't go to school because my health was too bad, and my uncle's friends didn't come to the house often, and besides, they were elders, so even if they came, it didn't matter if they talked or anything. Jia Lian...... Jia Lian...... It's better if he encounters something on the road and postpones his return for a few more days. Or simply let him get sick or injured, or delay it for a while.
In this noisy environment, people were dizzy and dizzy, and some people had already left the table, so I was about to say goodbye with me. This time I didn't bring a few people with me, I took a car, and the others followed slowly. Out of the gate of the Song family, it rained. Zhou Rui's family, who followed, asked me if I would go back to the Song Mansion to avoid the rain and then leave, I looked at the hazy drizzle outside the curtain - the sky is changing really fast, it was still a good weather when I watched the play in the morning, the sun was full of only a few thin clouds, and now it was so cloudy.
"No, let's go back quickly. ”
Rongguo Mansion is not far from this Song Mansion, and if I take a car, it will be about half an hour. But the miscalculation was that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and in the place where we had already left Song Mansion for a distance and were still more than half a distance away from Jiafu, we had no choice but to let the accompanying family drive the car to the eaves of a teahouse on the side of the road.
I turned my head to look at the teahouse, and then looked at the people who were all wet and followed me, and said to Zhou Rui's family: "Go to the building to buy a pot of hot tea and snacks and share them with everyone, and then see if you can borrow an umbrella and send someone back to the house to report the news, and we will avoid the rain for a while...... If the rain stops, we'll rush back, and if it doesn't stop, we'll have someone bring rain gear to pick us up. ”
"Yes, Grandma. ”
I took the girl Sister Shan, Zhou Rui's family, two little maids, a coachman and two mothers-in-law today, when I went to the banquet at the Song family, they should have been entertained and ate something, but I'm afraid they didn't eat very well, so Zhou Rui's family hesitated: "Grandma, do you want to get out of the car and go into the teahouse to rest? I'm afraid the tarpaulin on the roof of the car can't stop such a heavy rain. ”
I looked at the seeping roof and nodded.
The ancient teahouse, I haven't seen it, it just happened to be a rainy day to stay guests, you can go in and see.
The teahouse is not big, and there are a lot of people in the lobby, probably because of the rain, and there are many people like us who come in to take shelter from the rain. Xiao Er found a seat, but it was actually just a table separated by a small bamboo screen. The table was by the window, and when I looked out from here, it was white outside, and it was raining so hard that I couldn't even see the signs of the shops on the other side.
"Don't worry, grandma, there's nothing going on at home anyway. Zhou Rui's family said: "I sent someone back, tell the door, the house should send someone to pick us up." ”
Actually, I'm not worried at all, and I'm not in a hurry to go back.
Jia Lian...... I don't want to see it.
But in Sister Feng's memory, there is an impression of this person, but it is very vague. It's like when I saw Daiyu, I knew she was Daiyu, but I couldn't remember what she looked like before I saw her. The same is true for Jia Lian. I can know about the past now, but I can't remember what Jia Lian was like.
You can only understand it when you see it.
Will I be affected by Sister Feng's past feelings?
I'm not sure, I don't want that.
There were a lot of people in the shop, but the tables were still not full. In the middle of the lobby, a half-aged man sat on a bench in the middle and played strings. Maybe it's because of the rain and the cloudy weather, the sound of the piano, which should usually be pleasant, sounds like killing a chicken, squeaking and pulling, and the chicken never dies.
I called Zhou Rui's family and asked her to reward the person who pulled the string with a little money.
"What does Grandma want to hear?"
"No, you give him money and tell him to stop pulling. I said, "I don't think the bow is playing the harp, it's sawing the neck." After thinking about it, he added: "It's worse than killing chickens." ”
Zhou Ruijia's clothes were also half wet, and he was in a bad mood, but when he heard this, he burst out laugh and said, "Yes, I'll do it." ”
As if someone was still laughing, I turned my head and looked through the bamboo screen, and the sound seemed to come from the table on the left. My voice wasn't as small as the room, so it wasn't surprising for the people at the table over there to hear it.
The rain has not yet lightened, and the sound of playing the violin is gone. After a while, the shopkeeper came, and although he didn't come behind the screen, Sister Shan strangely brought me two plates. One dish is shredded chicken, and the other is fragrant beans.
I smiled: "Sister Zhou, did you order it? I'm not hungry." ”
Zhou Ruijia said strangely: "It's not me, I didn't order this." All I wanted was osmanthus cake and sesame rolls. She pointed to the two snacks on the table that I didn't move: "This is not what I want." ”
"It's at the next point. ”
A man's voice said through the bamboo screen: "This lady has a kind heart and saved the ears of the big guy, so she took the liberty to send two snacks to express her gratitude." ”
I was surprised, so unexpected!
In this era when women are not taken seriously, and everyone's thoughts and mouths are locked, are there still such people who do not play cards according to the rules?
Of course, it's also possible that he's a disciple and wants to hook up with me. However, since I was the most advanced shop at the next table just now, and they couldn't see my appearance through the bamboo screen, the possibility of the color was very small.
Zhou Rui's family was stunned, and Sister Shan was also stunned. I smiled, and suddenly felt that this trip to the teahouse was not in vain, it was better than sitting in the car.
"Thank you for this son's kindness, but it is disrespectful, but it is also deserved. Don't you dare to ask your son's surname?"
"In the next surname Jiang, idle and wild people, please forgive Mrs. for the abruptness. ”
