Chapter 223: Molestation
Today's festive atmosphere in Jiafu is particularly strong, first early in the morning Jiang Mansion came to report, saying that the eldest aunt Jia Ling and aunt Jiang Huai will take Brother Yuan back to their parents' house, and then received a report from nephew Luo Zhen to take his nephew and daughter-in-law back to his uncle's house, Jia Yu and Jia Hui needless to mention how excited and joyful, Ruan and Jia Ting are also happy and happy, and they are ready to welcome the guest early.
Jiang Huai and Jia Ling arrived first, and when they entered the house, they saw Ruan and his brother-in-law, so Jiang Huai left his wife and children in the inner courtyard, and he accompanied his uncle Jia Ting to talk in the hall of the front yard, while waiting for Luo Zhen and his wife to arrive.
But he didn't expect that the prince would come with him today, Jiang Huai was very excited, and he was at a loss for a while, and Jia Ting was also very surprised: What does the prince mean by being uninvited during the New Year's Festival? New Year's greetings to a crippled courtier? His family was taken away from his title because of his fault, and the court has ignored it for many years, so it seems that he is not qualified for such an honor, right?
Thinking of his nephew Luo Zhen, Jia Ting nodded secretly, the relationship between Luo Zhen and the prince Nangong Zhao is confusing in the outside world, but in fact, it has always been related, maybe it was a chance encounter on the road, Luo Zhen invited the prince to drink New Year's wine together, then it should have nothing to do with business!
Jia Ting told Jiang Huai a few words, let him just be as usual, not too restrained, and let people go into the inner courtyard to inform the sister-in-law Ruan, so that she must take care of the food and drink, and then go to the study to call Jia Yu out, and the father and son walked out of the door together to greet the distinguished guests.
Nangong Zhao smiled gently and spoke easy-going, without putting on a prince's shelf, Jia Ting and the others were relieved.
After the salute, the men sat in the front yard to talk, and the splendid maids and maidservants sent by the Ruan clan took them into the inner courtyard, and when they arrived at the second gate, they saw Jia Hui holding Brother Yuan and waiting for her, both of them were dressed thickly, wrapped in cloaks, wearing velvet hats, like two brown bears of all sizes, looking very pleasing and cola.
Jinxiu teased Brother Yuan, and then led him to the inner courtyard with Jia Hui.
Jia Ling helped Ruan's in the kitchen to watch, the dishes prepared today were already very rich, the prince suddenly arrived, Ruan's was also at a loss, I don't know what to add, or Jia Hui reminded her: No matter how noble the prince is, he is also a guest when he arrives at someone else's house, and the guest is as he pleases, and he will eat whatever he wants! Because he is too noble, the important thing now is not whether the food is good enough, but the safety issue!
This is very reasonable, Ruan immediately pulled Jia Ling to the kitchen, the mother and daughter personally supervised, and also found the silver plates, silver bowls and silver chopsticks treasured at home, which were given to Jia Jia's ancestors by the Holy Ancestor Emperor back then, and scrubbed clean and prepared for the prince.
Jinxiu met her aunt and cousin, and Ruan's family had no time to spare, so she asked Jia Hui to take Brother Yuan to accompany her cousin to play in the warm pavilion.
Brother Yuan still can't speak lightly, but he looks much better than when he first saw Jinxiu, that day he was wrapped in a cloak by Luo Zhen, and when he took it out, he was almost faint from crying, snot and tears flowed, Luo Zhen was so disgusted that he didn't even want that cloak anymore.
Today, the little guy was cleaned up neatly and beautifully, with a big red flower brocade jacket, a gold collar of eight treasures, deerskin boots, a tiger head hat in the warm pavilion, and a pinch of soft hair on his head and two strings of jewels, a good rich and noble family blessing doll.
Jinxiu took Brother Yuan in his arms, he didn't struggle, his little white face showed a shy smile, his little hand reached into the fruit plate on the side table, first picked up a piece of preserved peaches, paused and put it down, and then grabbed a red date and handed it to Jinxiu.
Jinxiu hurriedly thanked and took it, looked up and smiled at Jia Hui.
Jia Hui said: "I also learned today that Brother Yuan will divide things for people to eat, he is careful and has a lot of eyes, everyone gives them differently, give me preserved peaches, give my brother dried apricots, give my uncle raisins, and give my father a handful of walnut kernels!" I don't know what he thinks, give you red dates, could it be that he understands the meaning of 'giving birth to a noble son early'? ”
After Jia Hui finished speaking, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Jinxiu smiled: "He shouldn't mean that, Brother Yuan has a good memory, I caught him two fruits that day, both for red dates, he may think I like to eat, so pick this for me today!" ”
Jia Hui stretched out her hand and nodded Brother Yuan'er's little head: "So, our Brother Yuan is smart!" The Jiang family has eyes and ignorance of gold and jade, and looks down on our brother Yuan, they are wasted! ”
When it came to the Jiang family, Jinxiu naturally asked what happened to Jia Ling and Jiang Huai after she and Luo Zhen left that day? Jia Hui said to her one by one: "Brother-in-law wants to take my sister back, the eldest aunt and my father are not allowed, my sister herself also wants to live, brother-in-law left by himself without a rut, who knows that night and turned back, accompanied my sister and Brother Yuan to live in our house, my sister does not say back, he does not leave, and really lives until the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve!" The eldest aunt is not that unreasonable, seeing that her brother-in-law is so obedient, she can't wipe her face, so she packed up some things and let them go back to Changping Bofu. That night, my sister asked her mother-in-law to talk back, saying that she meant that her brother-in-law was not allowed to pamper the concubine and snub his wife! That Mei family, I heard that after the New Year, they will be assigned to live in a rural farm for a while, and the two concubines, if Mrs. Jiang is willing to raise them, they will stay in the house, otherwise they will go with them! ”
Jinxiu said: "Chang Pingbo is a shrewd and sensible person, if there is such a strict elder in the family, I don't worry about causing chaos." ”
"What kind of strict elder is Chang Pingbo? It's just an opportunistic villain! ”
Jia Hui snorted coldly: "When I was young, I always loved to follow my uncle and father, and they were also willing to take me to the front yard to play. Being able to tolerate my sister staying at his house all these years is nothing more than watching my sister's rich dowry and withstanding their family's spending for a while! I don't believe that Chang Pingbo can really support his sister, he must be looking at his real cousin's face, what idea does he want to fight! Cousin-in-law, you have to remind your real cousin, beware of the Jiang family! ”
Jinxiu looked at Jia Hui appreciatively, stretched out her hand and pinched and kneaded her face: "Look at you so cute, let me tease first!" Sure enough, as the name suggests, Jia Hui Jia Hui has a clever heart, a sober and intelligent mind, and it is rare to be born with a pair of discerning eyes! Good sister, I don't know which family has this blessing and asked you to go! ”
Jia Hui avoided Jinxiu, ashamed and annoyed: "Cousin-in-law! How can you do that! I sue my cousin! ”
Jinxiu hugged Brother Yuan and laughed, Brother Yuan chewed raisins in his mouth, and looked at Jia Hui with a smile. (To be continued.) )
