Chapter 7: The Arrival of Jia Yu's Father and Son
In the middle of the month, Wei Qian ran at both ends of the mansion and the Doumu Temple. Concentrate on learning piano skills from Xuan Yun, and have a nominal bright visualization to invite the moon. In January, I have achieved a little success, absorbing the moonlight every night, and getting up in the morning is refreshed and energetic, and even my memory is much better than before. However, I was obsessed with cultivating, and I only attended the flower viewing tea party for my friends once, and I was finally found by someone.
"Go to the Doumu Temple all day long, people who don't know really think you're going to become a monk!" Wang Xifeng and another sister seized the opportunity, grabbed Wei Qian and said straightly: "I don't care, the next flower party prepared by Mafu, you will go if you don't go!" ”
Another little sister surnamed Gu, the daughter of the prefect of Jinling, also said: "It's really not easy to catch you, if you don't happen to meet you today, is it really that our sisters really want to use the eight sedan chairs to go to the mountain to invite you?" ”
The daughters of these eunuchs have their own small circles with each other, and they have to get together every ten days and half a month.
When Wei Qian heard this, she deliberately tightened her little face: "What am I going to do over there?" Wasn't it enough to be ridiculed in the past last time? ”
Half a month ago, Wei Qian attended the party, but was ridiculed by the sisters for holding the marriage.
"Do you want to understand the temper of Tong Dan Nizi? What to do with her? Wang Xifeng slapped his mouth lightly: "It's also my sister who was quick to talk about you and told you about it, so I'll accompany you first." ”
Gu Zhenzhen next to her also said: "Yes, if you don't go, won't it be more realistic next time?" Why don't we discuss it with our sisters, and let Tongdan give you a gift. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Qian had no choice but to say: "Count the days, the next gathering should be the Double Ninth Festival?" ”
"Yes, Chongyang ascended, Mrs. Ma invited the wives of various families to enjoy Qiu Ju, and Qiu Wan also wanted to entertain a few of us in Ma's Mansion, counting, her birthday is also approaching."
Wei Qian silently calculated, Ma Qiuwan was born in late autumn, after the Double Ninth Festival, and it was her birthday before the beginning of winter.
"The sister of the Ma family is presiding over the flower party for the first time, of course she has to go to congratulate." Wei Qian understands that this flower party is also a way to connect feelings between families. When Wei Yan was currently preparing to advance, she couldn't make trouble in the back, so as not to make another big enemy.
"Miss, madam, please come over." Dai Lan came to invite, Wang Xifeng said: "My sister and I are watching the lotus in the Huxin Pavilion, and my sister can do it herself." ”
Wei Qian apologized slightly, instructed Huang Yang to entertain, and beckoned Hongchun to see Jia Mei.
Jia Mei was laughing with a middle-aged man in the lobby at this time. The man was quite rich and refreshed, and he was followed by a handsome young man, his eyes rolling and looking at the furnishings in the lobby of the Wei Mansion.
Wei Qian and Dai Lan rushed to the lobby and saw the man on the Taishi chair on the left, their faces suddenly became happy, and they greeted them with a smile: "I've seen my uncle." ”
Jia Yu pinched his little goatee, Ben and Jia Mei were talking and laughing, and suddenly saw a girl in a green dress running behind him, and couldn't help laughing. "Qiangirl, but I haven't seen you for a long time!"
After Wei Qian saluted Jia Yu, she said goodbye to Jia Mei.
Jia Mei smiled and said, "It is said that my nephew Uncle Xiao, this Qian'er is the only one in our family who has fallen in love with you." ”
"Fall in love with me? You have taken a fancy to me, the God of Wealth, right? Jia Yu ordered someone to send the gift box he brought to Wei Qian. In a nanmu box, there are all kinds of jade rings and vermilion hairpins.
Wei Qian didn't look closely, waved her hand to let Hongchun take it, and said coquettishly in front of Jia Yu: "Look at what Uncle said, Uncle only goes back to his hometown a few times a year?" Is it not possible to miss your uncle as a niece? ”
Jia Mei and Jia Yu's brother and sister relationship is indeed good. Every year when Jia Yu returns to his hometown in Jinling, he will come here. Wei Qian was already precocious, and she had a good relationship with Jia Yu when she came and went.
The young man next to him couldn't help but taste when he saw the gift Jia Yu had prepared for Wei Qian. There were still two bloodstones in the box, but Jia Yu refused to give them to him, and he gave them to his cousin.
As if seeing that Jia Lian's face was wrong, Jia Mei hurriedly said to Wei Qian: "Patronizing your uncle, haven't you seen your cousin Lian soon?" ”
"Hello cousin." Wei Qian saw the young man on the side. The eyebrows are clear and the eyes are beautiful, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and he knows that this is the merry seed later, and he stood beside Jia Mei after saluting.
Jia Lian returned the salute and stood beside Jia Yu with a stiff face.
"You two met each other when you were kids." Jia Mei didn't seem to see the discord between the two, and said: "Not long after Wei Qian was born, I took her back to Rongguo Mansion, and I remember that Jia Lian was only a few years old at that time. ”
"Yes, at that time, Ruoyun had just left, and this kid Jia Lian was quite pestering you." Jia Yu couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his original match.
Suddenly, everyone did not speak. Jia Lian thought of his mother who went early, and Jia Mei also remembered the days in Rongguo Mansion. The concubines got along quite well, and when she went back to live, she also took Jia Lian for a while.
"It's also pitiful, the sister-in-law left after giving birth to Jia Lian. And when I gave birth to Qian'er, I almost couldn't get by. Jia Mei thought of herself, and her heart became afraid. At the beginning, she was unconscious when she gave birth to Wei Qian, if she hadn't heard Wei Qian's cry, she would be strong as a mother, and if she had the strength to come over, I am afraid that she would not be there now.
And Wei Qian pondered about her uncle and her cousin.
"At present, this cousin does not see what he will look like in the future. As for this uncle...... "Wei Qian felt strange in her heart, although her uncle was lustful, he could see some things thoroughly, and he didn't have the same works as recorded in the book." Little did she know that her life had changed when she was born. Otherwise, Jia Mei should have given birth to a daughter and then died. And now Jia Mei often contacts Jia Yu, the brother and sister have some affection, although Jia Yu didn't listen to them, but it was not as absurd as in the future.
"Xu is the reason why my grandfather is still there?" Wei Qian consciously found the reason. Now that Jia Daishan is still there, Jia Yu is no longer a weapon, and Jia Daishan is watching and not daring to do anything.
"Speaking of which, Lian'er is also older, and it is time to say that it is the age to say goodbye." Jia Mei suddenly said another thing: "But although the eldest brother has a few concubines now, the main room is empty, who will handle Jia Lian's marriage in the future?" ”
"Auntie!" Jia Lian's face changed, Jia Mei ignored him, and continued: "But this steproom is different from the original match, Jia Lian is so big, if there is anything wrong, it will not be good." ”
Jia Yu was silent, which Jia Mei had mentioned a few years ago. At that time, Jia Mei saw that Jia Lian was young and was worried about what kind of "early death" would happen in the steproom, so she persuaded Jia Lian to continue the string later.
But at this time and then, it is better to find a steproom in order to say goodbye to Jia Lian.
"Besides, it's not that my daughter-in-law is talking too much, and it's not good to let the second sister-in-law take care of your uncle's house."
Now that Jia Daishan and his wife are still there, there is naturally no talk of separation. But Jia's mother favored her younger son, and the eldest daughter-in-law was not there, so she asked the second daughter-in-law to follow her to take care of the house.
Thinking of Mrs. Wang, Jia Yu's heart sank and he frowned. He has a bad relationship with Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhu is now older, he doesn't believe that Mrs. Wang will find a good family for Jia Lian.
The eldest man groaned: "My original intention was to let my mother help Jia Lian look at it, and then go back and let my daughter-in-law take care of my room directly." ”
"Can a daughter-in-law still manage her father-in-law?" Jia Mei said suddenly: "If you want me to say, anyway, there is no shortage of women around my brother, and I don't require flowers and moons to look like my steproom, as long as I am obedient." Those big families may not be suitable for people, so it is better to find an older girl from a small family, and it is easy to handle. ”
Jia Yu was thinking about Jia Mei's construction, and Wei Qian turned her head to look around. She had no interest in these backhouse battles at all. On the contrary, it was Jia Lian, because it was about his future life, and he pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between Jia Mei and Jia Yu. Seeing what Jia Mei said, the big stone in her heart fell, and her aunt finally turned to herself, and didn't say that she would find a steproom for her father.
If you really let your father find a good family, and then there will be another son-in-law, my status may be ......
Suddenly, Jia Lian saw that Wei Qian's expression was wrong, and followed Wei Qian's gaze to see a vermilion hairpin behind the door.
"Someone behind the door?" Jia Lian didn't have a good impression of this cousin who hadn't seen her much, although she was her aunt's daughter, but she also wanted to fix her because she had robbed her bloodstone.
Jia Lian's expression fell at the door, and he stood up and was just about to act, when suddenly there was an exclamation from the side.
"Oops!" Wei Qian deliberately knocked over the teacup to attract the attention of everyone present.
"Is it hot?" Jia Mei was concerned about her beloved daughter and hurriedly walked over.
Jia Yu pointed to the maids on the side, and commanded: "Why are you still stunned, why don't you hurry up and clean up?" ”
Then he looked at Wei Qian: "Qian, girl, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just a little wet, just change your clothes." Wei Qian pretended to be relaxed and was about to leave.
Jia Lian also reacted and took the opportunity to step forward: "Auntie, you talk to your father, and I'll send my sister back." ”
Wei Qian was only seven years old at this time, and she was Jia Lian's cousin, Jia Mei and the others didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Then let Lian'er go." ”
Wei Qian was annoyed in her heart, and Jia Lian whispered in her ear: "Who is that at the door?" Doesn't it look like a maidservant in the house? ”
Who? Then Zhu Hai clearly showed the identity of the person who came, isn't that your future wife?
Wei Qian wanted to take the opportunity to leave and send the Wang Xifeng sisters to go first. Unexpectedly, Jia Lian reacted quickly and took the initiative to leave.
walked slowly to the door, but saw that Wang Xifeng had already disappeared.
Wei Qian was happy in her heart, and understood that her sisters were not stupid, and they were not stupid enough to meet a foreign guest man in their own house.
Walking out of the lobby, Wei Qian immediately pulled back Jia Lian's hand: "Don't come nonsense!" Otherwise, my uncle's face will not look good at that time. Wei Qian said fiercely: "That's the eldest lady of a pure white family, how can I meet you?" ”
"It's okay if you don't see it." Jia Lian shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Then exchange the two bloodstones you have on hand." ”
Bloodstone? Wei Qian's afterglow caught a glimpse of the Nanmu box in Hongchun's hand. Hongchun put the box on the ground and counted it, and Wei Qian saw two fist-sized bloodstones.
"I'll give it to you, I don't need to engrave any seals anyway." Raising her chin, the girl said to Hongchun, "Give him that piece of bloodstone." Even if it's my greeting gift to my cousin. ”
The corners of Jia Lian's mouth twitched, and when he heard this, how dare he go up and ask for it, and said, "My cousin is joking with you, and you take it seriously." "If you really take this thing back, it will be difficult for Jia Yu to explain it when he knows about it.
"Madame, ma'am, no!" Just as Wei Qian and Jia Lian were talking, Butler Huang panted and rushed into the lobby in the distance.
Wei Qian vaguely felt that something was wrong, and ordered Hongchun to send the box to the boudoir, and she and Jia Lian walked back to the lobby again.
I only heard Steward Huang say to Jia Mei: "Then the son of the Huang family abandoned his family and went to cultivate!" ”
Boom -
Suddenly, Wei Qian's eyes were dark, and Jia Mei inside couldn't stand steadily, and almost fell to the ground.
