This kind of lawsuit has passed, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the end of the year, to say that the past two years have not been good, and the people who rely on the roots of the imperial city are better, but the others are more and more sad. Last winter, many people died of cold, which caused the grandmothers of the Jia family to be busy preparing winter clothes for charcoal, but fortunately, it was warm at the beginning of the year, and it rained, which was better. I don't want to be another year of winter, it is colder than last year, and there has been no rain or snow since autumn, the families of high-ranking officials and nobles are fine, but ordinary people's families are sad for many years.

On this day, Jiao Qian's grandfather, Jiao Da, the big housekeeper in Ning's house, drank with several old subordinates of the Jia family the day before yesterday, he was happy for a while, drank too much, Jiao Da was old in the end, or fought with the old lady, he didn't get up the next morning, Jiao Da's wife went early, and when his son came in to see, Jiao Da actually burned, Jiao Da's son hurriedly asked for a doctor, and Jiao Da was still in good health, and he was saved in time, and there was no big problem, but in the future, he should avoid alcohol, meat, and spicy, but the old man was sad, and he refused to take medicine at home, so he went to Jia Jing's place。 Jia Lu saw that Jiao Qian was worried that her grandfather had given her a vacation, so she asked her to go home and stay with her grandfather for two days before coming back. Jiao Qian hurriedly roared and went home, but saw that the old man was in a loud voice and wanted to eat meat and drink, and he was in good spirits!

I saw an old woman with vicissitudes on her face, but neatly dressed and clean, leading a five or six-year-old boy to come here, this backstreet is where the sons of Rongning or the down-and-out Jia family live, the big guys are all acquaintances, and the people who come are only some of the people who sell business burdens, sell food, and buy objects to play, but these two people have empty hands, and they are not like those people.

Getting closer, I was listening to the mother-in-law asking the little girl on the side of the road about Zhou Rui's family, Jiao Qian knew about Zhou Rui's family, she was the companion of the second wife in Xifu, and she was the most praised, how could there be such a poor relative?

With such doubts, Jiao Qian returned to the house, and when she chatted with her master, she talked about it, and Jia Lu had only passed her ears at that time.

When I went to eat with my mother, I heard that my father, Jia Zhen, had an important guest to come, but the glass kang screen at home was not lightly rubbed by the little guys, and it couldn't be repaired by the old craftsman, and I heard that the old uncle and wife next door sent Wang Xifeng a glass kang screen with the shape of Dapeng spreading its wings, and I wanted to ask Zhang to ask her younger brother and sister to make an envoy, and it would be returned in two days. Jia Lu thought that she had been sleepy for two nights, and she would not stop her lunch today, so as not to be unable to sleep at night, so she stopped this errand by the way, and led a few powerful mothers-in-law to Rongfu for a walk and eliminate food.

When I arrived at Rongguo Mansion, I went to Jia's mother first, Jia's mother unfortunately rested, so she went to Daiyu's place and said a few words to her, Daiyu was weak, and she had to take a nap every afternoon in order to maintain her health, and Jia Lu was thinking about her afternoon class again, and she didn't delay any longer. went to Wang Xifeng's yard.

Unfortunately, there were three or four housekeepers standing in the courtyard, and Jia Lu remembered that unlike the housekeeper of Ningfu, the time for Rongfu to ask for peace in the morning was postponed by Jia's mother distressed Baoyu, except for a few girls and brothers who learned from Xiangxue, there were few early risers in the master, and Wang Xifeng wanted to go to Jia's mother to have fun again, and accompany her to play leaf cards or something, and the housekeeper's mother-in-law couldn't solve it for more than an hour after replying, so it was moved to the afternoon, and now it's only noon, not many people come, and more people will reply one after another.

Although I regretted that I came so unfortunately, I thought that I would come, and I didn't want to run in vain, so I passed the mother-in-law waiting outside the door and said hello to Ping'er, who was talking to my mother-in-law.

"Why are the four girls here, although the sun is big but not warm this time, the wind is shivering, come in first to rest!"

Ping'er lifted the curtain and led Jia Lu into the house.

Jia Lu replied as she entered, "Sister Ping'er, my mother wants to borrow something, I don't want to sleep at noon, I thought it was still early before the class time, so I got this case, I don't want to," Jia Lu pointed to the three or two mothers-in-law outside, quite embarrassed to say, "I don't want to," Sister-in-law Feng is busy, and it's not a coincidence."

Ping'er saw that Jia Lu pretended to be an adult at a young age and took the sect to do things, and she was born with a shy and embarrassed appearance at the wrong time, she was really happy, and pursed her lips and chuckled.

As he was talking, he heard Wang Xifeng ask inside, "Who is coming outside?"

Ping'er squatted, Jia Lu waved her hand to show that she didn't care, Ping'er entered the back room and said to her master, "It's the fourth girl who came, saying that she wanted to borrow something!"

"Don't invite someone in yet!"

Jia Lu also heard it, thinking that there was no one inside, so she lifted the curtain and went in, and said first without asking for peace, "Sister-in-law, my father is going to have an important guest tomorrow."

As he was talking, he didn't want to see an old woman with a dark complexion, wrinkled face, and a shrewd and embarrassed smile sitting on the small paper, and there was a boy two or three years younger than himself standing next to him, and Wang Xifeng often wore a sable Zhaojun set, surrounded by beads, wearing a peach sprinkled flower jacket, a stone blue carved silk gray squirrel cloak, a big red crepe silver mouse skin skirt, pink and glossy, leaning on the back of the lock, holding a small copper fire basket in his hand to pluck the ashes in the stove.

Jia Lu was also quite embarrassed, there were guests here, Wang Xifeng let himself in, he was so arrogant and rude to come in, knowing in his heart that this was also the reason why Wang Xifeng looked down on the old and the young, and didn't take them seriously.

As soon as she saw this old and young, Jia Lu thought of what Jiao Qian said about the old and young looking for Zhou Rui's family, and then looked at their obvious peasant dress, she knew that this was Grandma Liu and his grandson Ban'er.

To say that in this world, respect is respect, humility is humble, these two relatives who are far away from the autumn wind don't know which side, which serious master will care, and look at Mrs. Wang, who is familiar with Grandma Liu, not to mention showing up, she has never even sent out some money, so Wang Xifeng will watch it. And Wang Xifeng, two generations younger than Grandma Liu, didn't treat them as a serious guest when entertaining them, so she let her sister-in-law come in casually. They can not care like this, but Jia Lu can't, Jia Lu knows Grandma Liu's character, and admires such a simple, kind and grateful person the most, in her heart, respecting the old and loving the young, and the guests are far more important than respecting the people and being humble.

Jia Lu first blessed Wang Xifeng, and said, "I didn't know that my second sister-in-law had a guest here, but it was rude, and I don't know what to call it?"

Wang Xifeng didn't care very much and responded, "This is a relative of the second wife and my mother's family who has been connected to the sect before, you can call her Grandma Liu." ”

Hearing this, Jia Lu stepped forward, saluted, and said hello, "Hello Grandma Liu." ”

Grandma Liu didn't dare to accept the salute, so she quickly got up, turned around, and said that she didn't dare to dare again and again, stretched out her hand to pull, and frightened this young lady.

Grandma Liu is a little old, her eyesight is not very good, she used to stand far away, and she only heard this girl's voice singing better than that of the yellow bird.
