Chapter 22
Shi Xiangyun was a little frustrated when he saw that the old lady didn't answer.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shi sighed and took Shi Xiangyun in her arms, the little girl has grown up, and she also wants to know about the past, but things have already passed, what's the use of saying so much, it's better not to know anything, and live happily!
"Yun girl, don't think about the past anymore. What's the use of knowing. You just need to live happily now. Concubine Nan'an and your mother are relatives, your mother helped her a lot back then, and she has always liked your mother. When your mother died, Concubine Nan'an went back to her hometown to worship her ancestors, so she deeply regretted it. That's why she feels indebted to you. She's good to you, and you're next. Although she has a bad temperament, she is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. ”
This is the first time Shi Xiangyun has heard about his mother from the old lady, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Mrs. Shi saw it, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, after all, it was her mother, although Xiangyun usually didn't care, but when she really heard about the Zhang family, she would still listen to it so seriously.
"Okay, the Jia family sent a letter yesterday, saying that their eldest sister's birthday will be three days later, please come over to the banquet!" The old lady didn't want to go on, so she had to change the subject stiffly.
"Big sister's birthday?" It's Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng's eldest sister, right? It's just, what does it have to do with yourself? Shi Xiangyun didn't quite understand.
Mrs. Shi snorted disdainfully, didn't she see that Yun Yatou had a relationship with Nan'an Wangfu, no, she came to make friends!
"Grandmother, are you going?" Shi Xiangyun took Mrs. Shi's arm and asked.
"I'm not going. My grandmother is old and doesn't want to go out anymore. There you go! You've just come back, go take a shower first, and then get some rest! Grandmother went to worship the Buddha. The old lady smiled and touched Shi Xiangyun's head and said.
Buddha? When did the old lady have such a hobby?
Sitting in the wide bathtub, Qingming stood on the side, sprinkling flower petals into the bathtub, and Xiao Han dutifully helped Shi Xiangyun wash his hair, "Hey, when did grandmother start worshipping Buddha?" ”
Xiao Han's sister Dong Solstice is the eldest maid in front of Mrs. Shi, so she naturally knows what is going on. "It seems to be the third day of the girl's trip to Jiafu, the old lady had a nightmare in her dream, and she was scared when she woke up, and then she ordered someone to arrange a Buddhist hall in the wing, and specially invited a Bodhisattva from Xishan Temple! After that, the old lady often stayed in the Buddhist hall, especially at night, if she didn't stay in the Buddhist hall for a while, she couldn't sleep well at night! ”
Shi Xiangyun was silent, well, for this matter, she didn't know how to save the old lady with a guilty conscience.
"Alas, I'm going to Jia's house again! Really, can't you stop a little bit? Shi Xiangyun leaned on the edge of the bathtub, his fair and pink arms patting the water boringly.
"The girl didn't know that since the girl went to live in the palace for so many days, there would be many posts in the concierge every day, inviting the girl to their house as a guest, and all kinds of messy people came to the door. The old lady went back one by one. But the Jia family really can't go back, and the relationship between our two families is here, so the girl should be wronged! Anyway, doesn't the girl like the Lin family girl very much? When the time comes, it's really not good, just play with Miss Lin. Qingming said with a smile.
"You're right! At that time, I was still living in Yilan Courtyard. Shi Xiangyun also knew that with the rich and noble eyes of those people in the Jia family, knowing that Concubine Nan'an favored him, he would definitely have a relationship with him.
When Shi Xiangyun came to Jia's house again, it was Wang Xifeng who personally picked her up outside the second gate, Shi Xiangyun presented the gift prepared for the eldest sister, Wang Xifeng's eyebrows swept lightly, it was a good Yingluo collar, and it was decorated with a jade ruyi. There are also some children's toys, all of which are very valuable.
The joy on Wang Xifeng's face deepened a little, and his voice was full of spring breeze, "Really, the eldest sister and a little child's family, where can they stand everyone's love like this!" Sister Yun, come on! The ancestors were in a hurry. ”
Shi Xiangyun smiled without saying a word, and was taken by Wang Xifeng and went straight to Rongqing Hall.
Sure enough, the maids and ladies I met along the way, when they saw themselves, their smiles were bright and flattering, and the voices of Miss Yun and Miss Yun were endless.
When he arrived at Jia's mother, without waiting for Shi Xiangyun to salute, he was already pulled into Jia's mother's arms, rubbing his heart and liver, Shi Xiangyun laughed, he only felt uncomfortable, and he didn't know how Jia Baoyu had come over for so many years. This kind of love is really a little unacceptable.
Shi Xiangyun looked at the expressions of everyone on the field, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang were gentle with some affection, looking at their eyes, even if they couldn't compare to Baoyu, they were not much different from Sanchun. Miharu sat there as always, laughing or having fun. Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu were sitting on both sides of Jia's mother as usual at this time, Jia Baoyu was poking her head and laughing with Xue Baochai, who was sitting next to Mrs. Wang, while Lin Daiyu covered her mouth with a handkerchief and looked at herself snickering.
Shi Xiangyun smiled helplessly, Lin Daiyu glanced at her and put down the veil.
Aunt Xue said with a smile: "In the end, it is the old lady's niece and granddaughter, that is, there is a blessing, a character like Concubine Nan'an, and she also likes Miss Yun!" I heard that when Miss Yun was in Nan'an Palace, she lived with the Lord of Shaohua? ”
Shi Xiangyun's eyes were a little subtle when she looked at Aunt Xue, she was still thinking, who would be so uncomposed, mention this matter first! It turned out to be her. How could a calm person like Xue Baochai let Aunt Xue say it so recklessly!
Who knew that Jia's mother then said: "Speaking of which, Concubine Nan'an is the cousin of Yun Yatou's mother, and the two of them are intimate!" Concubine Nan'an loves Yun Yatou, and that's right. ”
Shi Xiangyun immediately remembered that Jia Mu must know some grievances between Concubine Nan'an and the Shi family, but I don't know if she will say it.
Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Sister Yun is so cute and has a good personality, no one doesn't like her." ”
Jia Tanchun immediately asked, "Sister Yun, what kind of person is the county lord of Shaohua, is it easy to get along with?" Shi Xiangyun realized that Sanchun of the Jia family rarely goes out to socialize, it is normal to not know this, and I don't know what Jia's mother thinks, Mrs. Xing is just that, the normal diplomacy of Rongguo Mansion is Mrs. Wang, and she never takes Sanchun out. Alas! Also, in addition to Yuan Chun, whether Sanchun is good or not, what does it have to do with Mrs. Wang.
Shi Xiangyun introduced with a smile, "The master of Shaohua County is very good, very friendly, well, and he also likes to laugh." As for the rest, Shi Xiangyun didn't say much, but Rao was like this, Shi Xiangyun still saw a faint envy in the eyes of Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai, the difference is that the former is more obvious, while the latter is more hidden.
For a while, Mama Wei stepped forward to ask Shi Xiangyun's accommodation arrangement, and Jia Mu was about to say something, Shi Xiangyun said with a smile: "Why bother, I'll still live with Sister Lin!" It's very clean there. Sister Lin, you won't diswelcome me, will you? ”
Lin Daiyu hid her face and smiled, "It's good to know, I think you're too noisy." ”
Shi Xiangyun pulled Lin Daiyu's arm and smiled, "It's too late to dislike it, I'll rely on you." ”
Mother Jia originally planned to let Shi Xiangyun live with her, and she just took the opportunity to say something to Shi Xiangyun, she knew her sister-in-law's temper and didn't bother to explain anything to Shi Xiangyun. I'm just instilling something. It was her own negligence before, and in the past few years, Concubine Nan'an has not shown her attention to Shi Xiangyun, Mother Jia thought that Concubine Nan'an had no intention of Shi Xiangyun, who knows, it turned out that Concubine Nan'an deliberately waited until the Shi family left Beijing to show her kindness to Shi Xiangyun.
It's just that Shi Xiangyun said that she wanted to live with Lin Daiyu, and Jia Mu thought about it and agreed. After all, Lin Daiyu is also the granddaughter of her own in-laws, and she loves her very much, although she is not as good as Baoyu, but it is much stronger than Yingchun, Yun Yatou and Daiyu are better, it is better than being co-opted by Xue Baochai.
"In that case, you can be quiet, don't disturb your sister Lin. Beware that she doesn't get along with you. Jia Mu said with a smile.
Xue Baochai lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and then raised his head with a smile, "Anyway, I've been in the mansion for so long, and I haven't been to Sister Lin's house yet, I don't know if I have this honor today?" ”
Shi Xiangyun and Lin Daiyu were holding hands and preparing to go back to decorate the house, hearing Xue Baochai say this, Lin Daiyu was a little surprised, she was filial piety, so when the Xue family came, only people gave gifts, and at that time, the Xue family didn't say that they wanted to visit, why did they come to Yilan Courtyard at this time?
Jia Tanchun looked at Mrs. Wang's face, and stood up with a smile, "Yes, Sister Lin has always lived in a simple place, and we rarely set foot in Yilan Courtyard, we all know that Sister Lin is an elegant person, then Yilan Courtyard must also be a blessed land under the influence of Sister Lin, otherwise every time Sister Yun comes to our house, she has to live in Yilan Courtyard?" I just don't know if we have this luck, and we also have a touch of the blessing of Yilan Courtyard! ”
When Mother Jia heard this, her face remained unchanged, and her eyes swept slightly on Jia Tanchun's body, and the bluffed Jia Tanchun was shocked, secretly regretting that she shouldn't have offended the old lady in order to flatter her mother-in-law. It's just that the words have been spoken, and it's too late to regret it.
Mother Jia glanced at Mrs. Wang with disdain, she still boasted that she was from a big family, even if she was shallow, she didn't care about her identity, and she was worried about the things of the Lin family! Phew! Seeing the Lin family transporting things to Yilan Courtyard one by one, my heart was moved, right? Since you are excited, why don't you agree to the marriage of double jade, but there are rumors of gold and jade good fate in the house! When I don't know it's your sister Wang's handiwork?
"When it comes to the ability to arrange things and decorate the house, you can't compare to Yu'er, I think that when her mother was at home, her house was delicately and elegantly decorated, and this is where young girls should live. Although our family is not as good as before, it can't be too pure, and it's not a monk who participates in meditation, so that the house is like a snow cave. Your sister-in-law is very good, in the end, she came from a scholarly family, although she is widowed, she is not like that, and she has lost her identity in vain! Since the sisters have said this, you can let the sisters go and see it, so that they can learn how to tidy up the house. ”
