Gao took Zhuo Yijia's three brothers and sisters to Jinhua Courtyard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The people in the third room had already arrived, sitting on the left side of the lower side of the hall, and Hua Taijun was sitting on the rattan chair above the hall, leaning sideways and talking to the three parties kindly.
"Sister-in-law has arrived. The third lady, Li, saw Gao come in, and stood up with a smile.
Zhuo Yiping and Wu Zhuo Yiya, the third lady of the third room who were standing next to the Li family, also stood up with their mother, "Auntie." ”
"Well, you three rooms have always done the best filial piety. Gao took the three siblings and approached the hall of Jinhua Courtyard. smiled and greeted Li.
The sister-in-law laughed, but it was all a matter of face. The one who really worries about it is the sister-in-law. Hey, who is this little girl, the fourth child of the second brother's family?" Li said politely with a smile, and suddenly saw Zhuo Yijia who was following behind Gao, and his eyebrows looked a little surprised.
Gao turned around and took Zhuo Yijia's hand slightly, and took two steps forward, "Yes, yesterday Brother Yu took Jia'er to Junxiao Courtyard to eat dumplings." Jia'er, this child is really cute, so I asked her to come with me this morning to say goodbye to my mother. Have a dumpling together. As he spoke, he took Zhuo Yijia and walked to Hua Taijun, and greeted with a smile: "As soon as I entered the door, I saw my mother laughing with my third brother and sister, and I saw that my body was still healthy today." ”
"You kid, you don't usually talk much, and your mouth is full of honey. Hua Taijun sat back and smiled.
Zhuo Yihan and Zhuo Yiyu asked Hua Taijun one by one and sat down.
"I'm telling the truth. Gao smiled and turned to Zhuo Yijia and said, "Don't say hello to your grandmother yet." ”
"Jia'er greets her grandmother, and her grandmother has a long life. Zhuo Yijia lowered her head and obediently blessed Hua Taijun.
Hua Taijun looked at Zhuo Yijia and smiled kindly, "I still put the embroidered screen that your girl gave me last year in my inner room." ”
"If my grandmother likes to go back, I'll embroider some more patterns for my grandmother. Zhuo Yijia raised his head and looked at Hua Taijun and whispered.
Hua Taijun looked at Zhuo Yijia and nodded.
"Yo, my sister-in-law and my third brother and sister are here early. The second lady's maid outside the curtain opened the curtain and said with a smile as she walked. "I am also a filial person in my mother's family, and when I get to the Zhuo family, there are two of you filial daughters-in-law, and I will become the laziest one. ”
He smiled and walked to Gao's side, and blessed Hua Taijun in the hall, "My daughter-in-law has asked my mother for peace, and my mother has a long life." ”
Hua Taijun looked at He Shi and nodded. "Go back and sit down. ”
"Good. He smiled and forgot that Hua Taijun walked to the other side to prepare to sit down. Halfway through the walk, he stopped, and seemed to look at Zhuo Yijia, "Isn't Jia'er in a bad body, why can't she be kept in the room?" said to Zhuo Yijia, but the words were asking Gao's.
The master of the Zhuo family does not ask about the affairs of the inner courtyard, and he will not be harsh on the young lady and young master. Zhuo Yijia has always been a person in the second room. The affairs of the second room are also in the hands of the second lady He. And the Zhuo family forgot Zhuo Yijia, partly because the He family said to the outside world that these four women were too weak. It is not advisable to go out. It is kept in a side hospital all the year round, and it is slowly forgotten.
"Originally, I also thought that Jia'er was weak, and I didn't bring it out on this cold day on the winter solstice. But yesterday Jia'er came to my place for dinner, and found that this child's body is not weak, but there are few good things. Even a dumpling is very strange. I don't know how it was raised over the years. Gao looked at He, said lightly, and then turned his head to look at Hua Taijun, who was sitting above and looking at everyone,
"I thought that she was also a woman from the Zhuo family, how could she be so lonely and unheard of the childishness. So I brought her to have dinner with my mother today, and by the way, I wanted to ask for a favor from my mother. ”
Hua Taijun looked at Gao, and then at Zhuo Yijia, "What does the eldest daughter-in-law want to beg?"
Seeing Hua Taijun speak, Gao turned around and lowered his hand and said respectfully, "Jia'er has been in poor health since she was a child, and she has been raised in the deep boudoir. Over the years, I am not so much worse than the other daughters in the house in terms of knowledge and knowledge, after all, it is the daughter of my Zhuo family, and I want to take her to Junxiao Courtyard to raise her for a while. One is that Han'er is barely a well-informed woman, and Jia'er can also be familiar with it by her side. The second is that Han'er is going to enter the palace after the New Year, and I want to bring Jia'er over to raise her well, so that I can help Han'er in the future. ”
"Sister-in-law's words are chilling for my younger siblings. How did you raise it all these years? If I had been harsh, would Jia'er still be able to stand here today?" He is a smart person, she will not say too much. I won't fall out with the big house for a concubine.
Gao turned his head to look at He and did not speak. Just looked at Hua Taijun quietly. "What does Mother think?"
Hua Taijun is old, and his heart is indeed like a mirror.
Be a sister who can support the eldest lady Zhuo Yihan? There are so many daughters in the Zhuo family, but choose a concubine who doesn't know anything and has nothing?
Not only Hua Taijun, but everyone in the hall knew that it was just rhetoric.
"After all, it's the daughter of the second room, you ask what your second brother and sister mean. Hua Taijun sat on it and said gently. The implication in the words is very clear, she agrees, just look at the second room.
"Since my mother has agreed, let's follow my sister-in-law's wishes. He sat down in his seat and said with a smile. The old lady agreed, and asked her what she meant just to give her face, and she didn't want to be too obvious about the big house.
Hua Taijun nodded, turned his head to the Gao clan and said, "Then you will take this child with you first." Then he looked at Zhuo Yijia again, "You are also a blessed baby, follow your aunt, study hard, don't let her down." ”
"Jia'er knows. Zhuo Yijia raised his head that had been lowered, and his tone was very soft, but he couldn't resist a trace of coldness.
Hua Taijun looked at it and didn't say anything else.
Outside the house, the sparrows chirped, and the morning dew was still standing on the petals of the leaves, although it was winter, the sky was still light blue, and there was no common haze in winter.
"Now that everyone is together, let's serve dumplings. Hua Taijun leaned back and commanded Mama Cao on the side.
"Yes. Mama Cao nodded. He went out and told the cook to eat.
Although there are many people in the hall, they are not chaotic. Each sits in his place or chats or listens. Zhuo Yijia and Zhuo Yihan sat together at Gao's hand. He Shi, who was sitting opposite, didn't seem to do anything, he wanted to turn his head and talk to Aunt Wen next to him, laughing and talking.
Zhuo Yiyun sat under Aunt Wen and looked at Zhuo Yijia from time to time. She just came in with her mother, and of course she saw the scene of the eldest mother's dignitary.
Zhuo Yiyun has an arrogant temper, and he is still very restrained in front of Huahua Taijun.
But she couldn't figure out why the eldest mother wanted a half-stupid person to go with the eldest sister. The eldest sister is so good. Isn't it a drag to let her support her eldest sister.
