Chapter 239: Life is like a play
Because today Zhou Muqing invited everyone to listen to the play in the Zhou family's own pear orchard, and Jia's mother was too old and didn't want to move around, so she had fun in the house.
At this time, there were also a bunch of people sitting in Rongqing Hall, all of whom were unwilling to move, according to the current saying, that is~~ house, and they were unwilling to go out if they could do things in their own homes.
Early in the morning, they were all the same as in the past, and they came to Rongqing Hall early to talk and laugh with the old lady, and occasionally one or two people said a funny joke, and the laughter of everyone couldn't stop spreading far away.
Because Li Zhi is a widowed woman, because of the suppression of her mother-in-law and Mrs. Wang, she has developed a cold temperament over the years, and she has always been very interested in those lively scenes, so she did not play with everyone at this time, but came to Jia's mother to flatter.
Mrs. Wang is now half-dead lying in bed and can't take care of things, and she can't even speak clearly, and Jia Lian and his wife have shaken out Mrs. Wang's dirty things, although Li Zhi has collected Mrs. Wang's dowry, but in the end there is not much.
Now although the big house and the second room of Rongguo Mansion are still living together, in the end, the big house has the upper hand at this time, and the two rooms are no different from the separated family now, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get anything decent in the future.
I secretly hated Mrs. Wang for not even sweeping her tail when she did things, and she didn't get any good from him on weekdays, but she let herself get a fishy smell, and now she doesn't want to be a low-key person, where is she in the mood to join in the fun.
His own Lan'er is the eldest son and grandson of the second room of Rongguo Mansion, and when Mrs. Wang was in the past, she didn't enjoy any glory and wealth, and she didn't even have the decency of the eldest grandson.
There are a lot of private rooms of the old lady, Li Zhi is a little eager when he thinks of this, he doesn't see that Wang Xifeng is in charge of Rongguo Mansion now, and he doesn't want to come to the old lady from time to time to stutter, which shows that the people in the old lady's private room are also greedy.
The old lady liked the broken stone, and even the private room wanted him to have it alone, although she was dissatisfied, no one showed it in the end.
Because of her mother-in-law's stupid methods, the big house and the second room can almost be said to be strangers now, although the old lady is still respected, she has lost her previous dignity.
At this time, Li Zhi was given a chance, but didn't he hit the old lady's head with the idea, and walked around the old lady more on weekdays, can she still remember her own good?
While talking to people, he responded casually a few times, Li Zhi was thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't know which girl asked.
"Grandma, can you tell me if it's funny?"
didn't need to be reminded by the maid beside him, when he heard someone call him, Li Zhi quickly came back to his senses, covered his mouth with the handkerchief in his hand and coughed lightly, and a gentle and dignified smile pulled up at the corner of his mouth, covering up the embarrassment of his distraction.
"If you want me to say it......"
When she was talking, a little girl and an old woman came in to reply, and they didn't dare to directly disturb Jia's mother's interest with these words, so they found someone who could be the master of the house, and whispered in Li Zhi's ear.
"There are a lot of girls and grandmothers, and we don't recognize them, so we ask grandma to recognize them. ”
Listening to the little girl's words, Li Zhi couldn't help frowning secretly, and he didn't like to see the poor relatives who came to fight the autumn breeze, but he didn't show it on his face, but at this time, he couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Where is that? Do you know whose relatives it is? Don't confuse me!"
"It is said that the eldest lady's brother and sister-in-law's family, the eldest grandmother's brother, and the grandmother's two sisters are here. There is also a girl who said that it was the sister of Miss Xue, and another who said that it was the brother of Uncle Xue.
Because today's wives and girls are listening to the play, they are not in the house at this time, and grandma has to decide this matter. ”
Li Zhi's question did not avoid people, and the girl naturally did not deliberately lower her voice and answered, and everyone in the room naturally heard it clearly.
Jia Mu listened to people's replies, she was a lively character, and she spoke at this time.
"Since there are guests at home, they are all invited in, how can there be a reason to hang the guests outside, this is not our Rongguo Mansion's way of doing things. ”
After a slight pause, Jia Mu spoke again.
"Even if someone from Mrs. Auntie's family is also here, hurry up and invite Mrs. Auntie, don't let people say that we are in Rongguo Mansion, and it's good to snub the guests.
I also sent a letter to your eldest lady and grandmother, and asked them to come and collect their guests, my old lady will not help to greet them!"
Since it was Mrs. Jia who spoke, the people below also obediently led people in, but they didn't expect it to be the ones who occupied the place.
There are fewer people in Rongqing Hall today, and there is no more excitement in the past, so that the old lady who likes to be lively is a little uncomfortable, and at this time, the guests in the house are naturally noisy all of a sudden.
The old lady felt the stars and the moon again, and everyone was competing for flattery, but at this time, she looked at everyone and smiled.
"It's strange that the lights exploded and exploded last night, and it ended and knotted, so it should have been today. ”
He pulled people to talk about family life, and while watching the gifts he brought, he ordered people to keep wine and food.
Because there were four upright girls in the group who looked like four shallots, Jia Baoyu was naturally very happy, but at this time, he spoke directly.
"The Cheng Ri family only said that Sister Bao is a stunning character, but now you look at her sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law, I can't describe it. God, God, how many essences of your spirit show have given birth to these people!
I know that the frog at the bottom of my well, the Cheng Ri family only said that these people are unique now, who knows that there is no need to look far, it is the local scenery, one race is like another. Now that I've grown another layer of knowledge, in addition to these few, how many can't I do?"
He turned his head and coquettishly approached the old lady again. "Old lady, you must leave these sisters at home to play for a while!"
Mother Jia held Baoyu in her arms again, called out with her liver, and was about to agree to Jia Baoyu's request and say something to everyone, when suddenly a figure rushed out of the crowd and fell down in front of Mother Jia.
I only heard people on the ground, and they knocked their heads many times in a row, but everyone in the room was stunned, and they forgot their words for a while.
