Chapter 007: Jiyue Hall
Back in Qixia Xiaozhu, Jian Ying threw herself on the bed.
I haven't shown my strength for a long time, and it's really tiring to play coldly. It's easier to talk to those pretending ladies and ladies than to tear their hair and fight.
Seeing her drowsy, Jiang's mother stepped to the bed, "Miss Six, it's time for lunch in half an hour." You just came back today, and the second wife has to open a Jiyue Hall and ask the whole family to have dinner together. ”
Jiyue Hall is the banquet hall of the East Mansion of the Jian Family, which is not opened. Only when distinguished guests visit, or family reunions after a long absence, will it be held once to show grandeur.
Girls are not entitled to such treatment. However, Xiao Liu'er is a person who is about to marry into the Ji'an Palace, and his identity is different, so his treatment is naturally different.
After Jiang's mother said this, she heard Jian Ying's "um" and continued: "After lunch, the fourth master and the fourth wife will definitely call the sixth lady to speak alone.
The Tuyi brought back from the capital, you can send someone else to send it, the second and third rooms, as well as the old lady and the old lady of Xifu, you have to go in person.
In addition, you also have to meet our aunt, young master, and young lady in the fourth room. ”
The implication is that she will be very busy today and will not have time to sleep.
This time, Jiang's mother waited for a long time, but she didn't even hear a "hmm", and when she looked closer, she found that she was snoring slightly and had fallen asleep. had no choice but to withdraw and instructed Xueqin: "Let Miss Six sleep for a quarter of an hour, and then wake up and wait for freshness." ”
On the way back, the people had already seen each other. Xueqin knew that Jiang's mother, like herself, was going to be the "Sixth Miss" companion. is nominally to serve closely, but in fact, she is staring at the "Sixth Miss" in the past, in case she makes a mistake and causes trouble.
Among the people who accompanied the room, they knew the true identity of "Miss Six", and they had to discuss everything in the future, so they had special respect for Jiang's mother and were also very close, "I can save it, Jiang's mother just needs to be busy with other things, here I am." ”
Jiang's mother nodded at her, "Then it's hard for you." ”
After a while, Second Mrs. Jian really sent someone to spread the word and asked Jian Ying to go to Jiyue Hall for dinner.
Xueqin, the commander-in-chief, Yunzheng, Qiu Sheng, and Xiaozhi who came from the capital, as well as the golden screen, silver screen, plain screen and color screen assigned to Jian Ying by Mrs. Jian Si, the eight big girls acted separately, unpacking the cage to find clothes and jewelry, serving those who washed their faces and mouths, and combed their hair, so they were busy.
Dressed up, Jian Ying looked in the mirror, and found that she was full of fairy spirit, which was very different from the previous appearance of the dusty servant, and she couldn't help but be impressed by Xueqin's makeup skills again.
Xueqin left Yunzheng to lead the other five girls to the cage, and she and Jinping accompanied Jian Ying out of the house.
When I arrived at the door of Jiyue Hall, I met the second person who needed special attention in Jiang's mother's mouth, the younger brother of Xiao Liu'er and his mother's compatriots, and Jian Kangzhou, the second son of the fourth room.
Jian Kangzhou is seven years old this year, which is the age of cats and dogs. The reason why Jiang's mother included him in the list was because he went to the capital with Fourth Master Jian at the end of the first year to give New Year's gifts to Mrs. Jian and Master Jian.
Children have a good memory, and they may see flaws.
Along with Jian Kangzhou, there is also another younger brother of Xiao Liu'er, Jian Kangjian, the eldest son of the fourth room.
Jian Kangjian is thirteen years old this year, and under the deliberate cultivation of Mrs. Jian Si, his style is completely different from that of Mr. Jian Si. At a young age, he was depressed, and he was a master who didn't listen to anything outside the window and only read the books of the sages.
"Sixth sister." As soon as Jian Kangzhou saw Jian Ying, he rushed over and hugged her waist, grinning to reveal a mouth with a missing baby tooth, and asked in a stammered manner, "Sixth sister, have you brought me something delicious and fun?" ”
Xue Qin saw that his hands were stained with green grass juice, lest he stain Jian Ying's clothes, so she gave him and Jian Kangjian a salute, so she stepped forward to pull him, "Ninth Young Master, Sixth Miss has brought you a lot of delicious and fun food, and when you run out of lunch, the slave will send it to you." ”
"No, you don't." Jian Kangzhou said simply, "I'll go to the sixth sister's room to get it later." ”
Jian Kangjian looked at the sky and stepped forward, and politely called "Sixth Sister", and said nothing else.
Jian Kangzhou took Jian Ying's hand affectionately, "Sixth sister, let's go in quickly, my father and mother are waiting for you." ”
As she spoke, her fingers rubbed twice in her palm, "Hey, Sixth Sister, why are your hands not as soft as before?" ”
Xueqin's eyelids jumped, and she hurriedly said: "Miss Sixth is going to leave the cabinet, and she has been embroidering dowries for a while, and her hands are rough." ”
"That's right." Jian Kangzhou smiled, "It's okay Sixth Sister, I'll buy you a few boxes of clam balm when I go back, and you won't be rough if you take it to wipe it for a while." But Sixth Sister, why don't you speak? ”
"Miss Six's voice is hoarse, and the doctor tells her to speak less." Xueqin rushed to say again.
Jian Kangzhou glanced at Jian Ying in a trance, and said empathetically: "Then the sixth sister just don't speak, just nod and shake your head." ”
Jian Ying was so happy that she pretended to be dumb, so she touched his head with a smile.
As he spoke, he entered Jiyue Hall, and first went to the men's seat to meet the three masters of the Jian family and a room of cousins.
The second master of Jian and the third master of Jian are both Chinese people, one has a solemn face, and the other has a kind face.
Master Jian Si looks slightly stronger than them, his body has begun to get rich, he wears moon white, and before it is time to use the fan, he is holding a fan and shaking it, looking very pretended, there is no imaginary wind ~ suave appearance at all.
I don't know what kind of medicine many women, including her cheap mother, took the wrong medicine, and they were coaxed by this kind of man.
The cousins are all hairy children who have not grown, and there are two eye-catching cousins, but it is a pity that she has to take care of her identity and is not easy to stare.
In addition to the ones I had seen in the hall before, there were a group of little girls from three or five years old to twelve or thirteen years old, as well as aunts with heads and faces in each room. Jian Wushuang had already gone back, but Jian Zhuohua stayed, and sat on the main seat with a big grin.
Without waiting for Jian Ying to finish the salute, he pulled her to sit beside him. Holding her hand and pulling a few words, he praised his daughter, "It's not my boast of being a mother, our Tong'er's little appearance in the past two years is really getting longer and smarter, and her character is also a good ......."
The three wives of the Jian family lowered their heads and drank tea in unison, blocking the disdain at the corners of their mouths with tea bowls. The heart said that Sister Tong'er looked good and didn't say it, her temper was exactly the same as her mother, and she was not ashamed to panic when she said this.
Jian Zhuohua didn't see the same movements of her sisters-in-law, and said to herself, "Your cousin has always liked you, and she has been thinking about playing with you for a long time." Today is a small day, and my body is not good, so I didn't come along.
Xiao Liu'er, when you marry into the Ji'an Palace, you have to often call your cousin to talk to you to relieve your boredom.
I heard that the third son of the Ji'an Mansion is about the same age as our Tong'er, you might as well find an opportunity to let them have more contact, and the two children will be very compatible. ”
