Chapter 80: Back to Jiafu

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two boats chartered by Jia Zheng docked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Jia Lian took Lin Zhixiao and a group of servants to wait at the ferry, and when they saw Jia Zheng's boat docking, they hurriedly gathered over, leading the carriage and carrying the luggage. In Jia's house, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were already looking forward to it.

When the carriage came to the gate of the house, the servants and girls were busy counting their luggage and moving them to the rooms.

Jia Zheng took Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu to see Jia's mother first.

As soon as she stepped into the upper room, Jia's mother stood up and asked Jia Zheng a few words about the itinerary on the road, food, clothing, housing and other trivial things. Jia Zheng answered one by one, and the mother and son looked at each other, their eyes a little moist.

Then Mother Jia called Lin Daiyu to come forward, held her in her arms and looked at her for a long time, seeing that she had a good complexion and ruddy cheeks, she carried her on the kang and asked some gossip on the road.

Jia Baoyu was already held in Mrs. Wang's arms and cried bitterly, and for a while she said "thin" and "dark", and then she said that she must have been wronged on the road.

Jia Baoyu went out to see the world, and he was not as soft-spoken as before, and he was hugged by Mrs. Wang and cried "heart" and "meat", and he was uncomfortable.

His eyes for help fell on Daiyu's body, and Daiyu felt that Xue Baochai was standing next to Wang Xifeng, and a pair of eyes and knives were falling on her, so he deliberately pretended not to receive Jia Baoyu's distress gaze, and talked to Jia's mother about the things on the land and water dojo.

While listening, Jia Mu said that she had done a good job, and when she raised her eyes, she happened to meet Baoyu's eyes, and when she saw that Baoyu was being held by Mrs. Wang, she was sweating all over her body, and her face was red, so she said:

"Baoyu, you also come over and let me see, how much has you lost weight and darkened?"

If Baoyu received amnesty, she hurriedly and carefully helped Mrs. Wang, stood in front of Jia's mother, and said with a smile: "Ancestor, you see, although it is dark and thin, it is also strong!" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and showed Jia Mu his biceps.

Jia Mu smiled: "Okay, okay, this time I will go out, I will also see the world, and I will grow up again." ”

As he spoke, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Their sisters have just come back, they are covered in dust and sweat, let them go back to wash and change their clothes first, and we will also let the kitchen bring the fresh melons and peaches." I also want a bowl of unused well water, Lin Yatou is weaker and can't eat these cold things. ”

Wang Xifeng said: "There is no need for the ancestor to say, it has been ordered, so someone will send it up." ”

There was a mother-in-law at the door who was always listening to the people who wanted something inside, and when she heard it, she hurriedly went to the kitchen to ask for melons and fruits.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu went back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Yihong Courtyard respectively, and after freshening up, they changed their clothes, and went to Jia's mother one after another.

They ate some fruit, laughed again, and set up dinner.

Jia Baoyu remembered Lin Daiyu's advice that the matter of opening a workshop to sell rouge gouache should be carried out quietly, so he carefully concealed this, and only picked up Guanqian Street, Deyue Tower and a few places to play.

Jia Mu listened with great interest, and the people in the room echoed it, and it was lively.

Xue Baochai sat in it, although he was also smiling, but his eyes looking at Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were a little sharper.

Especially looking at Daiyu's gaze, cold and cold, full of provocation.

Lin Daiyu naturally sensed the meaning in Xue Baochai's gaze, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

This Xue Baochai looks like a victor who is determined to win, what does she rely on?

When Lin Daiyu's eyes fell on Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, she found that their attitude towards Xue Baochai was much warmer than before, and she looked like she was faintly bowing down to her, Daiyu understood, it turned out that Xue Baochai had subdued Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang.

After the meal, Jia's mother rushed to Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu: "You guys have traveled all the way, and it is rare to sleep well day and night if you want to, go back early and rest, I don't need you to accompany me here." ”

Jia Baoyu smiled and retired, and Lin Daiyu went to make an appointment with Yingchun, Xichun and Tanchun to come out together: "I brought you some good things!" ”

Jia Mu smiled: "What good things? You sisters go together to see and see, and so do you. ”

Xue Baochai stood up, left his seat with a smile, and walked to the front to wait for Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu deliberately staggered in and out with Jia Baoyu, in order to avoid Mrs. Wang's jealousy, and she didn't want to leave a handle for Xue Baochai to stir up trouble in the middle.

Seeing that Jia Mu asked her to come with her, she did not object. Xue Baochai listened to the things along the way in the open than let her ask the silver quietly in the dark.

So Daiyu and Sanchun went to the garden with Xue Baochai, and the five of them talked and laughed, and no one snubbed anyone.

Daiyu returned to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, where Zijuan and Qingwen had just packed up their beds and toiletries.

Xue Baochai looked at Daiyu's dresser, and when he saw that the jewelry he brought back was still those jewelry, he couldn't help but chuckle, picked up the rouge box and looked at it, opened it and smelled the fragrance, and said, "This must not be the one brought to Suzhou from here." When you arrived in Suzhou, you made rouge again? ”

Zijuan and Qingwen's faces suddenly turned pale, and they secretly regretted why they put out the rouge incense powder first? This was made by Qingwen and Baoyu in the inner courtyard of the Lin family in Suzhou, but fortunately there was no brand of Qianyunxuan.

Daiyu smiled: "You can make it here, but you can't make it when you go out?" left and right didn't go to the flower street and willow lane, and my uncle let it go. ”

Xue Baochai secretly gritted his teeth. Daiyu pursed her lips and sneered. Even the people in Jiafu acquiesced to Baoyu doing these things to play, Miss Xue, where did you come from to be so lenient?

Xue Baochai threw the rouge, his mind turned, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Qingwen - Zijuan was honest and tight, and he couldn't ask anything: "What do you girls do to pass the time in Suzhou?" ”

Qingwen saw that she had asked Rouge before, lest she ask her to come out of the shop, and her face turned white. At this moment, seeing that this evil star was pinching himself as a soft persimmon again, he was secretly annoyed, and said without saltiness: "What can our girl do? It's nothing more than seeing relatives, doing sacrifices, going out for a walk, and reading a few books at home to pass the time. ”

As he spoke, he said to Xue Baochai: "Miss Xue, you sit down first, and I'll go urge tea." ”

Xue Baochai secretly gritted his teeth.

Daiyu ignored it all, she was opening the box with Zijuan with a smile on her face, and showed the gift she brought to Sanchun:

A set of small clay figures from Journey to the West and a set of paints unique to Suzhou were given to cherish spring;

A small enamel multicolored box of organs, plus a popular calligraphy post in Suzhou, was given to Tanchun;

A new chess game and a chiming bell trinket were given to welcome the Spring Festival.

In addition, there are clay figurines of the three sisters, each of whom has a hairpin, silk handkerchief, sweat towel and other small things in the south of the Yangtze River.

Xue Baochai didn't ask anything from Qingwen, and leaned over to Daiyu: "You conscienceless girl, what are you going to give me?" ”

Daiyu smiled but didn't answer, took out other things and said to Zijuan: "This is for the old lady, as well as the wife and the eldest lady, you personally send it over." ”

Xue Baochai stepped forward to look through it, and saw that it was a few sets of clothes made of new brocade materials, and couldn't help laughing: "You are confused, how can anyone in our house wear clothes made outside?" ”

Daiyu smiled and didn't say anything, Zijuan also smiled secretly, wrapped her clothes in a fine satin and went to the upper room where Jia's mother was.

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were in Jia's mother's upper room to talk and eat, which saved her from running around.

Daiyu called Qingwen again: "This is for the eldest sister-in-law and Brother Lan." You send it first, and then you send something to Feng Lazi when you come back. ”

In her previous life, Mrs. Wang regarded Qingwen as a thorn in her side, and Lin Daiyu tried her best to avoid Qingwen from going to Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang and others.

Qingwen agreed with a smile, and suddenly a voice came from outside: "No need to send it, I'll come by myself." ”

As soon as Daiyu heard that it was Li Kun's voice, she hurriedly called "sister-in-law" and greeted her with a smile.
