Chapter 5 Visiting Brother Zhangjiazhu and Saying Relatives and Friends of the Son Jia Zheng Banquet

On the second day, Mrs. Xing brought Jia Lian and Yingchun to ask Jia's mother for peace, and it happened that Jia Zhu and Yuanchun and a servant also came here to wait, greeted each other, and went to Jia's mother's courtyard together. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Just as Beeswax and Crystal walked out of the hall with a bowl of chopsticks, Yuan Chun asked, "Grandmother has had breakfast?" ”

The second maid replied with a smile, and saw the beeswax whispering: "The old lady used it lightly today, but she just picked up a few pieces of rouge goose breast and drank a bowl of red dates and barley porridge." ”

When Yuan Chun saw Beeswax say this, he wondered why the old lady was unhappy again, but after thinking about it, the weather was hot, and he was afraid that the old lady was impatient to eat greasy, so he didn't ask carefully. Mrs. Xing has always been clumsy, and she only knows how to ask Beeswax and others to serve her attentively.

When Jia Mu heard the sound in the room, she asked Tourmaline to open the curtain and welcome everyone in.

Mrs. Xing and the others saluted and greeted one after another, and Jia Mu shouted with a smile and pointed to the seats one by one. Mrs. Xing went back to Jia's mother, only saying that it was not appropriate for the nurse to take care of Yingchun, and Yingchun would not eat milk now, so it was better to reward the nurse for her grace to let her go, and let Qin Wang's family (the daughter of Wang Shanbao's family, later called Wang Niangniang, see that the author has something to say) hugged Yingchun and showed it to Jia's mother.

Yingchun's nurse was registered in front of Jia's mother because of gambling and stealing Yingchun things in her last life, and later married to the Sun family, not only did not help Yingchun, but in order to tie the knot, she dedicated her granddaughter to Sun Shaozu as a person in the house, and stepped on Yingchun's face together. Mother Jia was very displeased with this old Diao slave, and when she heard what Mrs. Xing said, she nodded and said, "I also heard that she often brings things to the family to welcome the Spring Festival, and I want to order you to change it, but I am afraid that you will feel uncomfortable." Since you are so hearted, and you take care of the spring, I am also relieved. In the future, when the spring is older, you will naturally be filial to your mother, so that you can give birth to this child, and it is said that the flowers will bear fruit, maybe you can add a younger brother to her. He said to the queen mother: "Good life to take care of it"

Mrs. Xing was rarely praised by Jia's mother, and she was a little excited in her heart, and when she heard Jia's mother say that she would add a younger brother to Yingchun, she couldn't help but blush, and pursed her lips in response. glanced at Yingchun who was grabbing the fruit and eating, and saw that her face was round and full of smiles, Mrs. Xing spent Jia's mother's meaning, so that she could personally raise Yingchun, but she was also a little happy.

The little girl on the side had already put on the tea and fruits, only to hear Yuan Chun say with a smile: "But we came unfortunately, if we came a moment early, I am afraid that we can also rub my grandmother for breakfast." ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she set her eyes on Yuan Chun. I saw her wearing a flower jacket with a hundred golden butterflies, a multicolored carved silk stone blue half-sleeve, and a jade flower-sprinkled crepe skirt. Shoulders and waist, handsome eyes and eyebrows, indescribably delicate. For a while, I remembered the sadness in Yuanchun's eyes when she was provincial, in the end, she was the granddaughter she once valued the most, Mother Jia let go of the dissatisfaction with Concubine Jia in her memory, and scolded with a smile: "You child! Didn't you have a breakfast in the house? ”。

Yuan Chun tilted his head and said obediently: "I don't know why, I always feel that my grandmother's food here is exceptionally delicious, maybe it is your blessing?" As he spoke, he used his hand to support the gold-inlaid jewel jade fish basket between the temples Guanyin to pick his heart. Jia Mu looked at Yuan Chun's placket, and sure enough, she didn't see the longevity lock, so she knew that Yuan Chun was not very happy when she saw that she had rewarded something like Yingchun.

Mother Jia just thought that the little girl was jealous and smiled. After all, Yuan Chun was raised in the mansion with gold and jade, and she picked up any good things first. It made her forget that although Yingchun is a concubine, it is also recorded in the name of the Xing family on the family tree, and her identity is not worse than her.

Here, Mrs. Xing saw that Jia Zhu's face was pale, and her eyes were gray, and she knew that she must have been studying hard in the study all night, so she couldn't help but persuade: "It's not me who is the instigation of the eldest uncle, I know that your child is willing to work hard and fight hard, and he will already be a talent at the age of fifteen." Our family still has a little wealth, even if you can afford it until you are sixty years old. It's just that your uncle often says that people like us are not as shabby as that, and they must be 'snow windows and glowing fire'. Good boy, listen to my advice, of course, you must study hard, and don't be in a hurry to seek fame to the end, so as not to tire your body. ”

Mrs. Xing was kind-hearted, but what she said was just a brain, and it was a bit harsh.

Jia Mu saw that Yuan Chun's face changed, and Jia Zhu was also a little embarrassed, and remembered that Jia Zhu's early death was also due to the fact that she had broken down from the exam, so she hurriedly interjected: "Exactly!" After a while, let the tourmaline take a good ginseng to make up for the beads, and the beads don't have to be in a hurry. ”

Jia Zhu stood up, bowed and thanked the reward, but still sat in his chair and did not speak. However, Jia Lian smiled and said: "Brother Zhu is a piece of reading material, unlike me, I was dizzy when I heard that Lao Shizi's 'Zi said'." ”

"It's time to fight! The saints are also what you can choreograph! Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "Be careful, your big brother is annoyed with you!" ”

Jia Mu remembered that although Jia Lian couldn't read, he was a good hand at handling housework, and he was the first capable person among the men in Jiafu. Although he is more lustful, he never takes advantage of the situation to oppress others. Jia Yu's greedy and lustful temperament, Mrs. Xing didn't dare to control it very much, and in the end she also gave Jia Lian a bad head. Remembering that Jia Lian's maternal grandfather's family was a scholarly family, he said: "Your uncle's family, you should also go around often." He was born in a serious imperial examination, so he can also point you out. I also remembered my son-in-law Lin Ruhai, although it was a family of Shilu, but it was a scholarly family, born in Kedi, and was later appointed as Tanhualang, who was appointed as a doctor in Lantai Temple in Gusu at this time. It's a pity that the road is far away, and I can't ask him for guidance for his two grandchildren.

As soon as Jia Lian stuck out his tongue, his uncle, who was admitted to school at every turn, was even more terrifying than the second uncle. I can't recite the book, the second uncle just nags a few words, but the uncle wants to beat the board... I'm thirteen years old, and I'm also a master, how embarrassing is it to always pull my ears and beat my palms?

How could Jia Mu not see the little Jiujiu in Jia Lian's heart, and added: "Your big brother Zhu will also go with you, don't think that you can rely on it!" Be careful, I'll let you beat you! "I don't believe that with the discipline of the Zhang family's uncle, Jia Lian is a little bookish and literati, and he can still do the bastard thing of secretly marrying the second room during the filial piety period!

Jia Lian was about to shirk, and Jia Zhu had already brought a smile on his face: "My grandson has long heard that Uncle Zhang has done a good job, but I don't dare to come to the door rashly to ask for advice." After a recount, Jia's mother ordered the two to still go to the study room to study, and Mrs. Wang sent someone to ask Yuanchun to go back to learn the rules, and Mrs. Xing took Yingchun and retired.

Two days later, Jia Zhu really made an appointment with Jia Lian to board the door of Zhang's mansion. It is said that this Zhang family is a scholarly family, and there are many Jinshi on the ancestors, and the uncle Zhang is from a tribute scholar, although he has also read a lot of sage books, but he is not such a pedantic person. After taking the exam, Jia Lian was really beaten a few boards, crying with a sad face, and was punished to sit aside and copy books. However, Jia Zhu surprised Uncle Zhang a little, only to see that Jia Zhu answered the questions with a clear eye and was quite calm. After reading Jia Zhu's homework on weekdays, I couldn't help but cherish my talents, and bluntly said that although the article has not yet arrived, there is still a lot of room for improvement. After thinking about it for a while, Uncle Zhang smiled and said: "Brother Zhu is studying in the Guozijian, and it just so happens that I have a little friendship with the Guozijian Priest Master Li, and he took me to repair a book, annoying him to take more care of you." ”

I only heard Jia Lian laugh on the side: "Lord Li naturally takes good care of Brother Zhu..." squeezed his eyes at Jia Zhu and smiled: "Even if you don't look at your uncle's face, you have to look at Brother Zhu's sake..."

The rules of Jiafu, everyone who is a brother is afraid of his brother's three points, Jia Lian had to sneer, and begged for mercy: "Hengzhi is in my uncle's house, and there are no outsiders." ”

Uncle Zhang raised his eyebrows, understood in his heart, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Jia Mansion and the Li family?" ”

Jia Zhu was very embarrassed and said: "I just changed the Geng sticker." Uncle Zhang stroked his palms and smiled, sighing: "This is also your creation!" With Lord Li's blue eyes, he will be able to become famous in the gold list over time. ”

Hearing this, Jia Zhu became more and more embarrassed, but fortunately, Uncle Zhang only asked a few words casually, and then turned the conversation to the knowledge of economic career. An old man and a young man talked about you coming and going, leaving the two brothers for dinner and ordering someone to send them back. Uncle Zhang thought about Jia Zhu's talent, remembered that Jia Lian was his sister's only son, and repeatedly told Jia Zhu Jia Lian to come to the house often as a guest, Jia Zhu couldn't help but be overjoyed, and Jia Lian was miserable.

However, it was said that it had come to the day of mangseeding, which was when Jia Baoyu was born in his last life. Mother Jia has been ordering people to watch the movement of the second room, and sure enough, Mother Jia will finish breakfast, only to hear the bell will ring a few times, and a little girl will come to the room in a hurry to reply, saying that the second wife has started, and her stomach hurts.

Because it was calculated that Mrs. Wang was going to give birth in the near future, the midwife, the nursing mother, the waiting manpower, a variety of medicinal materials, swaddling bedding for newborns and other things had already been prepared. When Mrs. Xing helped Jia's mother into the courtyard, the midwife was ordering someone to boil hot water and cut ginseng slices for later use.

Mrs. Wang is in her thirties, not as relaxed as when she was young, Jia Mu listened to the sound in the room, although she knew that there would be no problem, but she still tightened her heart and kept chanting Buddha in her mouth.

The maids and servants in the second room all looked serious, and hurried back and forth with a basin of ginseng tea, Mrs. Xing was a person who had never given birth, and it was not easy to see this situation. Aunt Zhao is unconscious, she has already called herself sick and hid in the house to listen to the sound and steal fun, and she wished that Mrs. Wang would die twice. However, Lu Yin served tea and persuaded Jia's mother to go back to rest, but Jia's mother refused, and Mrs. Xing sat on the side.

Lu Yin couldn't, so she had to discuss with Mrs. Wang's eldest maid, named Hongmei, and put Jia's mother's lunch in the Rongxi hall, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law used it hastily.

The sky gradually darkened, and the tea between Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing was also added several times, and Mrs. Wang was still only heard in the delivery room crying out in pain. was waiting impatiently, only to hear a sudden scream from Mrs. Wang, and then a midwife shouted to see her head.

After a while, there was silence. Mother Jia was anxious and chaotic, she didn't care about the bad luck in the delivery room, she didn't listen to Mrs. Xing's persuasion, and rushed into the delivery room in a hurry like in the previous life, and asked, "Since you gave birth, why don't you hear the child crying?" “

Mrs. Wang had already fainted due to exhaustion, and the midwife was sweating because no matter how she filmed, the baby was pursed and not crying, and she was sweating in a hurry. When Jia Mu saw this situation, she remembered - yes, Baoyu still has that piece of psychic jade in her mouth! In the previous life, it was like this, no matter how the midwife patted and didn't cry, she just thought that the child couldn't be raised, and she grabbed it in her arms and wanted to try her nose, so Baoyu spit out the psychic jade in her mouth!

Thinking of this, Mother Jia hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What's wrong with this child?" Hold me and see! ”

The midwife lowered her head and handed the swaddling clothes to Jia's mother, and Jia's mother looked at it and almost shed tears. Those eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Jia Daishan, who died early, and they are his own Baoyu! Mother Jia trembled and gently touched the child's jaw, and sure enough, the baby's small mouth opened and spit out a piece of crystal clear jade! Then he began to cry.

Just because they began to think that this child was gone, everyone bowed their heads and stood solemnly without panting, and no one saw it, and Jia Mu quietly sleeved up a piece of Tongling Jade. Hearing the child crying, the room was full of surprise and joy, the nurse hurriedly took the child to feed, and three or four children who did not leave their heads rushed to send a letter to the outer courtyard, Zhou Rui's family dared to come forward and make fun on the side, saying that the old lady is blessed, and the little brother is filial.

Outside, Jia pardon Jia Zheng got the news, they were all overjoyed, Jia pardon ordered the little guy to carry a few large cages of copper coins and scattered them outside, so that the family members ordered a small play and played ten times, prepared on the stage in the house, and prepared a post to invite a few familiar people to congratulate the joy of the Rongguo Mansion Tianding. However, Jia Zheng said a few words, so he didn't have to break too much. There is also the patriarch Jia Jing, who hurriedly opened the ancestral hall, cleaned up, packed up the offerings, kowtowed to the ancestors, and recorded it in the family tree after Jia Zheng set the name.
