Jia Baoyu never expected that the two people at the door who were yellow-skinned, ragged, unkempt, and looked like beggars would be Li Kun and Jia Lan!

When he recognized Li Kun and Jia Lan, Jia Baoyu couldn't even hold the bamboo and wood fan in his hand, and fell on the spot. Only Xia Jingui, where others couldn't see, glanced at Li Kun and Jia Lan.

Xia Jingui is such a straightforward person. He hated Li Kun, and he hated Jia Lan, in his words, that is, the book was read into the dog's belly.

Baishan and filial piety come first, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang had an accident, Li Kun didn't say that he contributed to his in-laws, ran around, and didn't say some money, he just took care of himself and left with his son's dowry, this alone is enough for Xia Jingui to see these two people thoroughly.

Xia Jingui didn't care, back then, in the Rongguo Mansion and in the Grand View Garden, the treatment of Li Kun and Jia Lan's mother and son was not as good as Jia Baoyu's. In Xia Jingui's view, whether it is Jia Zhu or Jia Lan, one is the eldest son, and the other is the eldest son and grandson, who are originally heirs, and the eldest son and eldest grandson of the heir are originally higher in responsibility and obligation than Jia Baoyu. And Jia Baoyu is the second son, the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law are willing to spoil, that is the matter of the mother-in-law and the mother-in-law, where is Jia Baoyu's fault? Besides, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law spoil Jia Baoyu, so why not shorten Li Kun and Jia Lan's eating, drinking, and flowers?

In Xia Jingui's view, Li Kun Jia Lan took his belongings and flew away, ignoring the behavior of Mrs. Jia Zhengwang, which is not filial piety at all, and it is also a big unfilial piety!

If Jia Baoyu hadn't opened his mouth, Xia Jingui would have asked someone to throw Li Kun and Jia Lan's mother and son out.

However, even if Li Kun Jialan was allowed to come in. Xia Jingui didn't give these two good looks either.

The first thing he said was: "It turned out to be Grandma Zhu and Brother Lan!" I haven't seen them for so many years, but I don't even recognize them at all! That's right. I remember when the two of them left, but the car was full of boxes and horses, and even the body was inserted with gold and silver, looking like a young grandfather and grandmother. Why haven't you seen each other for a few years, and the two of them have fallen to this? ”

Li Kun's face flushed.

Xia Jingui's words are really polite.

But what could he do? At the beginning, when he took his son and the dowry to the south, it was destined to be today.

lest his wife speak too seriously. caused the attack of this sister-in-law named Mu Ne, who was actually very away, Jia Baoyu hurriedly spoke: "Sister-in-law, but what happened?" ”

Although Xia Jingui is yin and yang. But Jia Baoyu is the head of the family, seeing Jia Baoyu and Yan Yuese, Li Kun and Jia Lan thought that there was a door, and hurriedly told the whole story.

Originally. Li Kun's return to the south with his son was not as good as he imagined.

His father, Li Shouzhong, was originally a little snobbish and a little pedantic. But the person is not smart enough - otherwise, he would not have been promised to Jia Zhu - and the rest of the Li family blamed the Jia family for causing their Li family to affect their Li family, so that they had to lose their official positions and return to their hometown, so not only Li Shouzhong did not welcome this daughter, but even Li Kun's brothers did not welcome Li Kun's mother and son.

From the first day he returned to his hometown, he was rejected by his family, let alone his clansmen.

In desperation. Li Kun had no choice but to buy a field and a house nearby, while letting his son continue to study. On the one hand, he hopes to one day be able to obtain the forgiveness and approval of his family, and at the same time, he has to deal with all kinds of extortion, including the unreasonableness of the Li clan and all kinds of dispatch labor fees that exceed the average standard. Therefore, Li Kun's silver money was consumed very quickly, and even Li Kun himself had to do some needlework to supplement the family, not to mention the girls and mothers-in-law around him, and they were cut and cut.

Thanks to Li Kun, who gritted his teeth and insisted on not giving up, he finally waited for the emperor's amnesty. Jia Lan also lived up to Li Kun's expectations, first won the show, and then won the promotion the next year.

Li Kun only felt raised his eyebrows.

Because of the fight back to the south, the Li family has never raised anyone, let alone Jinshi. In contrast, his son was admitted to the exam, how could Li Kun be unhappy? Seeing the Li clan members who came to curry favor with him again, as well as those errand servants, Li Kun only felt relieved.

This time, Li Kun took gold and silver with him, and planned to go to Beijing with his son to accompany him for the exam. Who would have thought that halfway through, the homeless people would be attacked?

Not only was he separated from his family minions, but he also lost his belongings.

Speaking of the thrill on the road, the mother and son had palpitations: "It's also a shame that we all carry the household registration documents with us, otherwise, it will be a big deal." As he spoke, he looked at the small courtyard and said, "Your courtyard is clean." When was it placed? ”

Xia Jingui snorted twice and said, "When the old lady had an accident, I cleaned up my mother's family, where is there any money left!" It was given by the lord of Nafu. It's also a shame that the old man is kind enough to remember us, otherwise, we are afraid that we will have to eat and sleep with the old lady! ”

When Li Kun heard this, his heart moved again, and he said, "Why don't you see Huan'er?" ”

Xia Jingui said: "At the beginning, the eldest master prepared three Zhuangzi, one for Huan'er, and two of us. The ring brother is naturally on his own Zhuangzi. ”

When Li Kun heard this, his heart immediately warmed.

He knew very well what the three Zhuangzi meant. He boldly guessed that these three Zhuangzi were originally one by Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan. Now, all the possessions he brought with him to the south are gone, otherwise, they would not have begged all the way to Beijing. If there is such a Zhuangzi and there is an entry in his hand, Jia Lan will also have good social contacts in the future.

Li Kun immediately thought about how to get this Zhuangzi and this mansion.

The waiter has followed Tanchun for many years, Xia Jingui is not familiar with Li Kun, but he knows it very well, and immediately said: "I heard that the eldest master planned to have three Zhuangzi, one for the second master of Bao, the third master of Huan and one for Brother Lan. It's a pity that someone left early, and the uncle and grandmother cleaned up their mother's house for the sake of the lord and the wife, so the eldest master gave one of them to the uncle and grandmother. ”

Hearing the waiter say this, Rao is Jia Lan, and his face also blushed slightly, but it was Li Kun. His face has long been thickened over countless years, and he doesn't care about the sarcasm in the waiter's words, but just looks at the waiter carefully. said, "Are you the third sister's girl?" Is the third sister good? ”

"It seems that my aunt and uncle don't remember me anymore. I am a squire. The waiter said: "I'm tired of my uncle and grandmother, our grandmother is all right." The old man and his wife were in a hurry, and our grandmother also delayed her youth in order to keep filial piety, so she married a scholar from a neighboring village. gave birth to a girl, and now she is pregnant again. Our grandmother sent me to report the good news to the second master and my aunt! ”

Li Kun smiled dryly and said, "This is really a coincidence. Unfortunately, I encountered bandits. I didn't send a congratulatory gift, so I'll make up for it later. I hope the third sister doesn't mind. ”

Xia Jingui said: "There is a way to be polite and affectionate, and the third sister will definitely not mind the courtesy of the eldest sister-in-law." It's the birthday gift of the old lady and the eldest man. Can the sister-in-law figure it out? ”

Li Kun was still a little inexplicable: "Isn't the old lady's birthday in January?" ”

The waiter immediately put down his face and said, "Look at what my uncle and grandmother said, when we made a big birthday for the old lady in our house, wasn't that time in August?" The old lady's 80th birthday was not done. That's because of a series of accidents at home. The old lady was worried about her mother, and she had a heart, so it didn't happen. This is this time, but it is the old lady's ninetieth birthday, has the uncle and grandmother forgotten it? ”

Li Kun's face was red and white for a while, and he hesitated for a long time before he said, "Then, did you send a post in that house?" ”

"The old lady has been sick for several years. I don't think it's going to be a big deal, at most, it's just a family sitting down for a meal. ”

Li Kun said: "Is that a post?" ”

The waiter was stunned, and then furious. He was about to retort, but he heard another knock on the door outside.

Xia Jingui faced his companion room. That is, the treasure cicada made a look. Bao Chan has married Yumo in front of Jia Baoyu, and now she is the mother-in-law of Jia Baoyu Xia Jingui, seeing this, she hurriedly came over to open the door.

I saw a cuihu mule cart outside, and a person who looked like a housekeeper's daughter-in-law was standing at the door, and when he saw Bao Chan, he said, "May I ask if Bao Er Ye and Bao ** Milk are at home?" ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he hurriedly came over and said, "I am, but what's the matter?" ”

The daughter-in-law in charge hurriedly gave Jia Baoyu a salute and explained her intentions.

It turned out that it was really for Jia's mother's birthday. If Jia's mother is in good health, then it is indispensable to feast the powerful and invite the neighbors for three days and three nights. Why is Jiamu's health really not good, she has been lying on the sickbed for ten years, although her mind is still clear, but her words are not neat. Therefore, even if Jia Yu has a heart, it is impossible to feast guests.

This mother-in-law came to invite Jia Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui to go into the city to congratulate Jia's mother on her birthday.

When Li Kun heard this, he hurriedly came over and said: "Back then, the old lady loved Baoyu the most, but it was my husband who the old lady had high hopes for. Since it is to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, we must go. ”

This mother-in-law was later promoted by the Shang family, and she didn't know Li Kun and Jia Lan, so she hurriedly signaled Jia Baoyu and Xia Jingui with her eyes.

Xia Jingui said: "This is Sister-in-law Zhu." ”

The mother-in-law immediately remembered the wife of Jia Zhu, who took her son's dowry as soon as her father-in-law and mother-in-law were in trouble, and even squinted her eyes.

In fact, this kind of unfilial daughter-in-law and unfilial grandson, even if this mother-in-law is a subordinate, is not to be looked down upon. However, for the current Rongguo Marquis Mansion, the housekeeper is a slave, while Jia Baoyu, Xia Jingui and others are guests. Even if Li Kun is not good, she is the daughter-in-law of the late Mrs. Jia Zhengwang; Jia Huan is no longer filial, and he is also Jia Yu's nephew.

The mother-in-law lowered her head and said in a calm tone: "Since this is the case, then, please ask Grandma Zhu and Brother Lan to go with Bao Er Ye Bao ** Milk." ”

When Li Kun heard this, he immediately smiled.

When the waiter heard about it on the side, he immediately became anxious: "So, may I ask the third master and the third aunt and grandmother?" ”

The mother-in-law said: "The old slave was ordered to invite the second master and the grandmother of Bao**." As for the third master and the third aunt, naturally there are people who go. ”

Hearing the first sentence, the waiter thought that Jia Huan and Tanchun had no part, and only after listening to everything did he let go of his thoughts.

Xia Jingui came up and said, "This mother, I don't know how many people were invited to the banquet this time?" ”

"There aren't many people, even our second master, who are still in office now. However, the second girl is coming back this time. ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he was stunned: "Second sister is back?" ”

"Not only the second girl, but even Miss Lin will come. This time, except for our second master, it should be the most complete one in the family. ”

Seeing a sincere smile on the woman's face, even Jia Baoyu couldn't help but smile.

Indeed, if Jia Jiu and Lin Daiyu are counted, if several girls who married outside the country come back, it will indeed be the most complete time.

Hearing that Jia Jiu was also coming back, Li Kun's heart was also warm.

Over the years, although he is in the south, there is a lot of news. Although Li Shouzhong is not good at analyzing this kind of thing, there are always people in this world who are good at analyzing all kinds of news. Therefore, Li Kun knew Jia Jiu's energy better than when he was in Beijing.

Just as Xue Baochai has regretted for many years that he chose Mrs. Wang wrong among Jia Jiu and Mrs. Wang, Li Kun has also regretted that he did not have a good relationship with Jia Jiu over the years. Li Kun even felt that if he had been able to entangle Jia Jiu with a dead face, then he would not have to take his son back to the south back then.

Li Kun's thoughts, the waiter saw it clearly, and immediately quietly pulled Xia Jingui to the side, and said, "Uncle and grandma, you are careful of ups and downs." He's a great character, don't let him calculate. ”

Xia Jingui nodded and said, "I'm measured." ”

The waiter said: "Uncle and grandmother are measured, I am relieved." I'll go first. ”

Xia Jingui hurriedly said, "Why are you in a hurry?" Wouldn't it be nice to go to town with us? ”

The waiter said: "However, our grandmother still doesn't know about this person entering Beijing. ”

Xia Jingui said: "It's getting late now, you still have to go to the third master." Where is this in time? If you want me to say, "Come with us into the city." When the time comes, if you meet the third sister, you will explain it to the third sister in detail. If the third sister can't come because of something, it means that you are there. ”

"Our grandmother will come." The waiter smiled: "Uncle and grandmother are reasonable. Since my uncle and grandmother ordered it, then I dared to stay. ”

Here Xia Jingui and the servant reached an agreement, and Jia Baoyu had already instructed Yumo to rush to Jia Huan's side overnight to inform Tanchun of her pregnancy and Li Kun's visit, and the news that they left the waiter.

As for Li Kun Jialan's mother and son, they naturally went down to freshen up.

Xia Jingui hated Li Kun, and was even unwilling to let Li Kun wear his own clothes, so he only asked people to find out his mother Xia's mother's old clothes for Li Kun.
