CHAPTER XVII
Jia Lian had already waited at the dock, looking around anxiously, he had been waiting for a long time, but he still hadn't seen Jia Min and his party, although he was a little impatient, but he didn't dare to slack off, and still stayed honestly.
Early this morning, Rongguo Mansion was busy, it was really the old lady who thought about her daughter, and before Mrs. Gu was sick again, when Yangzhou sent a letter about Mrs. Gu may be bad, the old lady was scared, almost to visit in person, fortunately by the big and small maids and grandmothers of Rongguo Mansion persuaded her, under the compromise, Mother Jia hurriedly sent the big housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion Lai Da to Yangzhou to see in person, brought many good things, and found several famous doctors in Beijing, and sent them together.
Who expected that Jia's mother here was anxious, but in the past ten days, the doctor and medicinal materials sent to Yangzhou by the capital are estimated to have not arrived, and Rongguofu has received the news that Mrs. Gu has recovered from her illness, and it is finally just a false alarm, not only that, but the person sent by Mrs. Gu also said that Mrs. Gu, who has not seen her for many years, is going to take a pair of children to Beijing!
A disaster turned into a happy event, the old lady was very happy, and ordered people to prepare to meet the matter, no matter what the rest of the Rongguo Mansion thought in their hearts, they were all smiling on their faces, and they all complimented the ancestors for their blessings, so that Mrs. Gu could turn the corner into safety, and now the mother and daughter are reunited.
In this way, it can also be seen that the status of his aunt Jia Min in Jia's mother's heart, Jia Lian, who took this errand, was told by Jia's mother a few words before setting off to pick up his aunt at the dock, and he also got along with Jia Min when he was young, and remembered that this aunt treated him quite well when he was a child, so this time he was extra vigilant.
Finally, the little guy who was inquiring about the news in front ran back, and shouted as he ran: "Come on, Mrs. Gu is here!" ”
Jia Lian was excited, busy dressing up, taking several stout mothers-in-law and small servants, and following the little maid who led the way to pick up Jia Min and his party.
At this time, Jia Min and the others were disembarking, and the little guys were busy carrying their luggage, so they heard that Jia Lian had come to visit.
In Jia Min's memory, Jia Lian was just a young man, but now he has married a wife, and the two couldn't help but sigh when they saw each other.
Jia Lian respectfully saluted Jia Min and others, explained his intentions, expressed his thoughts, and sighed at the old lady's motherly heart, the two briefly reminisced, and he first sent Jia Min and his party to the sedan chair, and the little maid he brought was sent by him to help carry the luggage together.
On the way, Jia Min received a letter from Jia's mother, asking the three of them to come to live in Rongguo Mansion. And since she decided to come to Beijing, no matter what, she always has to go to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia's mother, after leaving the capital for many years, she also misses her mother very much, although she also sent someone to take care of the Lin Mansion in the capital first, but whether it is her own thoughts, or because of Peng Shixing's words, Jia Min decided to go to Rongguo Mansion to live temporarily.
And Mrs. Liu's master and servant left first after the boat docked, no matter how Jia Min Xuanyu and Daiyu retained, they only said that they would come to visit when they settled down, and they were quite resolute to go, Jia Min and the others had no choice but to temporarily separate from them.
Several sedan chairs and vehicles were driving on the road to the capital, and since Daiyu got off the boat and breathed the fresh air under the boat, she was like coming back to life, full of vitality again. At this time, she sat in the sedan chair and secretly lifted the screen window, and looked at the scenery of the capital with interest, Yangzhou is also a prosperous place, but if you want to compare with the capital, there is always something worse, the market is the same lively, but the pedestrians on the streets of the capital seem to be different from other places, and it seems that there is more arrogance at the feet of the Son of Heaven and the root of the imperial city.
Daiyu was looking at it strangely, and suddenly a chubby figure swayed with the flow of people, Daiyu squinted, and then opened her eyes to look at that place carefully, where there was a familiar figure.
"Sister, what do you see?" Xuanyu saw Daiyu's eyes wide open and looked at one place, and asked curiously.
Daiyu took a closer look and put down the screen: "No, maybe I was dazzled?" Daiyu touched her chin with some uncertainty, and then looked at Xuanyu in disappointment, "Good brother, do you really want to change clothes with me?" ”
Lin Xuanyu:
Lin Xuanyu spread her hands helplessly: "This is the first time I have seen my grandmother and uncles, where can I do this, wouldn't it be embarrassing if I was discovered," Lin Xuanyu looked at her sister's confident expression that would never be debunked, "And if my uncle takes the school exam, can my sister be sure?" ”
Lin Daiyu was stunned all of a sudden, and said, "I don't know if the red hair is good, has Chunxiao taken care of it?" ”
It turned out that the red hair was not good to take it directly to see Jia's mother, after all, it was the first time to meet the elders, so she was taken care of by Chunxiao, and she was sent directly to Rongguo Mansion with her luggage later. Daiyu usually thinks it's noisy, but now it's rare to worry about it.
Xuanyu said with a smile: "It can be seen that my sister usually fights with the red hair, but now she has only been separated for a while, so she thinks so." ”
Lin Daiyu immediately snorted, and when she was about to make a statement that she actually disdained very much, she listened to the voice of a little girl outside: "But Mrs. Gu has arrived?" ”
Daiyu lifted the screen window again, and this time Xuanyu also came over, and the two little heads looked out side by side.
I saw that the sedan chair had arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, a few handsome little maids changed the previous mother-in-law, carrying them and Jia Min's sedan chair to walk inside, the mother-in-law followed, a group of people walked a little way, and helped Jia Min and the three of them got off the sedan chair, Jia Min beckoned to Daiyu Xuanyu, Daiyu pulled Xuanyu and walked quickly to Jia Min's side, the three of them moved forward together, walked through the verandah, but a few steps to the main courtyard, the courtyard carved beams and painted buildings, complex and luxurious, a rich atmosphere, there was the sound of birds chirping next to it, a few little maids smiled and greeted him, greeted the three of them into the upper room.
As soon as she entered the house, Jia's mother had already come over, and without waiting for Jia Min to salute, she came up and grabbed Jia Min's hand, tears flowed from her eyes, and she called out: "You have no conscience, you have been gone for so many years, but you still remember my old mother." As he spoke, he choked up and hugged Jia Min tightly into his arms.
Jia Min also burst into tears and cried: "Mother! I miss you so much! ”
The rest of the people in the room couldn't help wiping their tears, Daiyu and Xuanyu were stunned by this burst of crying, and when they came back to their senses, Daiyu just wanted to speak, but Xuanyu pulled her sleeves, pulled Daiyu forward together, accompanied the crying Jia Min, and gently comforted Jia Min.
Jia Min cried for a while, finally relieved herself, and hurriedly pushed Daiyu and Xuanyu in front of Jia's mother: "Mother, this is Daiyu and Xuanyu, Daiyu Xuanyu, I haven't seen your grandmother yet." ”
Daiyu Xuanyu was busy asking Jia's mother to say goodbye, but was stopped by Jia's mother, Jia's mother carefully looked at the grandson and granddaughter in front of her, they were all generally beautiful and exquisite, their appearance was extremely similar, and they were wearing a color of azure satin, if it wasn't for one wearing men's clothes and the other wearing women's clothes, I'm afraid it would be difficult to distinguish it all at once. Both of them are simply equipped with a few jade ornaments, but they are more and more good, and their demeanor is different, they are really a pair of jade people.
"Good! All good boys. Mother Jia couldn't put it down, looking at this and looking at that, sweeping away the sorrow just now.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward and quipped: "Oh, no wonder the old ancestor is always thinking about it, I always understand it today, there is such a pair of wonderful people in the world, this all-round style is incomparable to others, and then look at the demeanor of Mrs. Gu, no wonder the old ancestor forgot about my broken household when he saw it!" ”
Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "You haven't come to see your aunt soon, so you should study hard." As he spoke, he pointed to Wang Xifeng and introduced to Jia Min, "This is Lian's daughter-in-law, who is used to being spicy." ”
Wang Xifeng hurriedly stepped forward to salute, for a while everyone saluted each other, Daiyu and Xuanyu also bowed to the elders one by one, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing both smiled and gave the two children a meeting gift, especially Mrs. Wang, who smiled quite amiably, as if the Buddha had descended to earth, full of love for the world, and did not complain privately that Jia Min and his party had turned Jiafu upside down.
After seeing the ceremony, Jia's mother said again: "Go and ask the girls to come and see my aunt and the two Yu'er, I don't have to go to class today." A grandmother hurriedly answered without mentioning it.
Jia Min saw it, glanced at Xuanyu, and thought about it for a while, he had just arrived, and Xuanyu was small, seeing that Jia's mother was in high spirits, he smiled and continued to talk to everyone.
Soon three little girls dressed exactly the same came, all of them were beautiful embryos, one was gentle and amiable, it was Yingchun, one was looking forward to the spring, it was Tanchun, and the other was still young, looking at a group of childishness, trying to straighten their faces, looking like a little adult, it was cherishing spring. Jia's mother introduced Sanchun to Daiyu and others, and the three of them greeted Jia Min, Jia Min responded with a smile, and distributed the gifts prepared in advance to Sanchun.
Daiyu looked at them curiously, especially Xichun, only felt how cute she looked, she and Xuanyu were the youngest in the family, and now they saw a little doll, which was quite rare. Xichun felt Daiyu's sight, and also looked at Daiyu, seeing Daiyu's face like a hibiscus out of the water, her waist like a weak willow supporting the wind, looking kind and weak, and smiled at Daiyu. However, Xichun didn't know at all, this was actually just the sequelae of seasickness ==
Daiyu saw that the corners of Xichun's mouth were upturned, revealing a small dimple, and she also smiled at Xichun, and when she saw that the adults didn't pay attention to this, she made a big grimace at Xichun.
Cherish Spring:
Xichun pursed her lips and turned her head.
Xuanyu, who had been paying attention to her sister, pulled Daiyu's sleeve again, signaling for convergence, Daiyu was busy sitting down, and listened to the adults gossiping about homely things, chatting about their stay, and listened to Jia's mother say: "Baoyu will come back from class soon, I have already said that I will take a class from Laoshizi today, but he has been staring at Laozi for the past two years, and he will not let him rest every day, and you will be able to see it when the time comes, this child is the most filial, and most like your father, you will definitely like him." ”
Hearing this, Daiyu's spirit was shocked, most like her grandfather!
On the boat, Daiyu's great-grandfather and grandfather have been longing for a long time, so heroic, they are all heroes, since this cousin Baoyu is the most like his grandfather, he must also be a hero-like figure, and he can't help but look forward to it for a while.
