Jia Baoyu didn't understand the love and worry of the elders. He only knew that he was disgusted by his cousin again.

From childhood to adulthood, there are too many people who please Jia Baoyu. After Jia Yuanchun became a concubine, more people surrounded him and flattered him for the sake of glory and wealth, that is, Jia Baoyu didn't know many things, and he also knew very well that most of these people came for their two identities as the old lady's most beloved grandson and the imperial concubine's sibling brother.

Jia Baoyu is simple, not stupid.

Although Jia Mu has always protected him well, there are some things that Jia Mu doesn't want him to know, he won't know.

Although he is only fourteen years old now, his mother has been confined to the Buddha for many years in his life. Even though Jia's mother has tried her best to isolate those discordant voices, there are still people who disobey Jia Baoyu in front of them, but they dislike Jia Baoyu in private.

Jia Baoyu has heard all kinds of private whispers more than once.

After Jia Yuanchun became the imperial concubine, Mrs. Wang came out of the Buddhist hall, and the smiles on the faces of those people in front of her and behind her were much more humble and respectful...... Jia Baoyu has always known this.

He didn't say it, but it was just because of his good nature.

In Jia Baoyu's impression, this cousin is also one of the few people who has a consistent attitude towards him, and her dissatisfaction is mixed with the expectation that iron will not become steel, just like when his mother was still in front of him. Especially in the two years that Mrs. Wang was in the Buddhist hall, although Jia Jiu and Jia Baoyu did not have many opportunities to meet. rarely talks to Jia Baoyu, but Jia Jiu's feelings for Jia Baoyu have never changed.

Coupled with what Jia Baoyu heard from private, although Mrs. Wang was locked up. But the cousin has never shortened Mrs. Wang's usefulness, and no one is allowed to deliberately practice Mrs. Wang, so in Jia Baoyu's heart, this cousin has always been different.

And this difference, as Jia Baoyu moved into Daguan Garden, he was surrounded by people who flattered him in all kinds of ways, which made him miss it very much.

So. Among the sisters, Jia Baoyu treats Jia Jiu differently from others. It's just that this difference is only known to Jia Baoyu himself. Because he knows. My cousin doesn't need his gentleness or flattery, she just needs to be safe.

Until today.

He shook his hand at Jia Jiu and was pushed by Jia Jiu. fell into Jia Mu's arms.

Jia Mu may not say anything to Jia Jiu. After Mrs. Wang recalled, her eyes looked at Jia Jiu a little more fiercely.

Even though she was very reluctant, under Mrs. Wang's instructions, Aunt Xue still had to speak: "The second girl really likes to play tricks on Baoyu." ”

Jia Jiu said: "Mrs. Aunt's words are strange, so dignified, what am I doing tricking Baoyu?" ”

Aunt Xue pointed at Jia Baoyu and said, "Then why did you push him?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Although I am a cousin, I have a knighthood on my body. It's okay to accept Baoyu's gift. However, it also depends. Now it's in front of the old lady. And for such reasons. How can I take this? If I accept this gift, it will be frivolous! ”

When Jia Mu heard this, she also smiled: "The second girl is still so straightforward." ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly said: "Old lady, you come to comment, has your granddaughter made a mistake?" Now in front of the old lady, Baoyu's upbringing is naturally responsible for the old lady, otherwise, the aunt is also qualified to discipline. Although I am a cousin, it is just that the matter has come to me, so I just opened my mouth to say a few words, where can I afford Baoyu's courtesy. ”

Jia Mu hugged Jia Baoyu and said, "This is indeed true. Even if my spirit is not as good as before, I also have the trouble of the second family. Baoyu's parents are there, and his upbringing is naturally concerned by his parents. As a girl from the guest's family, you really can't interfere too much. ”

Jia Jiu is Jia Yu's daughter, and today when Jia Yu went out, Jia Jiuzhi is a guest on Jia Zheng's side, a guest with the same surname. Even if Jia Jiu and Jia Baoyu are cousins, as Jia Jiu said, he doesn't care much about Jia Baoyu's affairs.

This is also something that Jia Jiu himself has repeatedly emphasized. In fact, that's what he did.

In contrast, Xue Baochai naturally fell behind.

Although Jia Mu had only been here for a few days, it was still very easy for him to know something.

Not to mention anything else, now Xue Baochai is in charge of the affairs of Daguanyuan, befriending the girls in Yihong Courtyard, urging Jia Baoyu to come over every day to ask Mrs. Wang to say goodbye, and often go in and out of Yihong Courtyard. Even though the Wuyuan Courtyard is the farthest place from the Yihong Courtyard, Xue Baochai still has to run two or three times a day.

This kind of behavior made Jia's mother very unhappy.

Mother Jia would say this, although it started with Jia Jiu pushing Jia Baoyu, but this was mentioned by Aunt Xue, so Mother Jia naturally didn't have to be polite.

In Jia's mother's opinion, Xue Baochai does have many remarkable points, but Xue Baochai's advantages and disadvantages are as obvious.

Don't say anything else, let's talk about Xue Baochai's exhortation to Jia Baoyu. Although it was a good intention, as a girl from a guest's family, interfering with the upbringing of the male in the host's family, Jia's mother thought about it when she thought about it. Not to mention, Xue Baochai is in charge of the affairs in the Grand View Garden.

Daguanyuan is Xue Baochai's general leader and supervisor, but in Jia's mother's heart, this is Jia Yuanchun's provincial villa, and Jia Yuanchun asked for divine grace and gave Jia Baoyu to live. Even if you really want to find someone in charge to come out, Li Kun, as the eldest sister-in-law, naturally has the responsibility to take care of her younger brothers and sisters, otherwise, Tanchun is not too young, she can learn to be a housekeeper, and she can give her sister-in-law a hand. But now, in the Grand View Garden, Xue Baochai is in charge of everything alone, Li Kun and Tanchun can only take care of the girls in their own house, and they are not even qualified to touch the flowers and trees in their own house, so Mother Jia is naturally unhappy.

Now, I have found an opportunity, how can Jia Mu not have a seizure?

Mother Jia doesn't care about the things behind Mrs. Wang and the Xue family. In his opinion, this Grand View Garden is Jia Jiu's silver, and it is Jia Yuanchun's provincial villa, and the Xue family is just running errands, but now they are calling for wind and rain in the Grand View Garden, pressing his granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law out of breath. Of course, Jia Mu was not happy. These few sentences, although they are not named, are also very important.

Under pressure from Madame Wang. Aunt Xue said Jia Jiu a few words, and immediately the mother and daughter were slapped twice by Mother Jia, and their faces were swollen. It's a really uncomfortable taste. Rao is Aunt Xue couldn't help but show a strange look.

It was Xue Baochai, with no sadness or joy on his face, raised his head, looked at his mother's appearance, and lowered it again.

Anyway, Jia Mu didn't name names. It's okay for him to think he didn't understand.

In private, Xue Baochai didn't feel it.

In his opinion, his mother's ears were too soft. is too stammering with Mrs. Wang. Even now that Jia Yuanchun has become the imperial concubine, what about it? It is an indisputable fact that Madame Wang is still a sinner.

Moreover, the temperament of this good aunt is here, whether she is obedient or not. It's okay if you don't obey. Horizontally and vertically, he looked at the money with both eyes. Since he loves money so much, as long as he has money in his hands and can keep it, this aunt will continue. On the contrary, he is like his mother, following his aunt all the way, taking out all the family funds to the other party, and when the family funds are gone, I am afraid that he will be completely abandoned by the other party.

Xue Baochai thinks. His mother should indeed be sober.

It was Jia Baoyu, who knew that Xue Baochai didn't know how much effort it took to have today's Grand View Garden. also knew that his mother owed the Xue family a lot, and he couldn't bear Xue Baochai's facelessness, so he interjected: "Old lady, where are we having a banquet today?" Is the second sister going to live here for a while? ”

Mother Jia touched Jia Baoyu, looked at Jia Jiu again, and said, "The scenery in the garden is really good, I still want to stay here for two more days." As for your second sister's family, there are many things, and she can't do without people, so she will go back in a while. He added: "The second girl said well last time, although there are many flowers and trees in this garden, they are all newly planted." Xiaoxiang Pavilion is okay, other places, from a distance it is still so-so, and it is much worse up close. However, it is the Luxue Nunnery, surrounded by mountains and rivers, which has a bit of Jiangnan meaning. We might as well go over there. ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately responded.

Even if the affairs in the Grand View Garden have been completely handed over to Xue Baochai, even if Mrs. Wang is full of words in front of Jia's mother, she will still go to Xue Baochai to ask for money and people, and now it is Mrs. Wang who makes a statement in front of Jia's mother.

Mrs. Wang loves money and power, but he has no money now, while the Xue family has money. Mrs. Wang had cheated the Xue family many times before, and for various reasons, the Xue family endured it. Now Xue Baochai already knew that Mrs. Wang was fooling him, and he no longer had expectations for Mrs. Wang. Xue Baochai and Mrs. Wang, who wanted to open it, fought in private for money and power, I don't know how many times. It's just that people who know are pretending to be confused.

Jia Baoyu keenly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the room. He looked left and right, and suddenly said to Jia Jiu: "Today is the Sweet Flower Festival, second sister, have you made any preparations?" ”

Jia Jiu was inexplicably wonderful: "Baoyu, what is the farewell flower festival?" I've never heard of it. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "Why doesn't the second sister even know this? On April 26, the god of flowers abdicated, and the daughters of the world made sedan chairs and horses to send each other off, and held a flower ......"

"I've heard a lot of strange things with my uncle, but I haven't heard of this. I understand," Jia Jiu nodded heavily and said, "This eighty percent is made up by Baoyu himself!" ”

Jia Baoyu immediately became anxious: "Second sister, why did I make this up?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Isn't it? Flowers, candied flowers and flowers, as the name suggests, are the days when the flowers leave the branches, that is, the flowers are gone. But in the four seasons of the year, which month does not have flowers? Lotus flowers, water lilies are not flowers? Chrysanthemum osmanthus is not a flower? Camellia plum is not a flower? Since this year is an indispensable flower in all seasons, where did the flower god abdicate and give up the words of Baihuaxi? All I know is that April 26 is a good time for planting seedlings. The people outside are busy with backache for things in the field, and even the imperial court is paying attention to this, where do they get so much time and energy to make a flower festival. ”

Tanchun heard this, and hurriedly pushed Jia Baoyu: "Second brother, it's not interesting to ask for it here again in the second sister, isn't it?" I'll just say, I've never heard of the name of this candied flower festival, and the second brother said a lot. He added: "Second sister, it's good that you exposed the second brother's lies, otherwise, I would have been fooled by the second brother." ”

But Xichun said: "Second sister, is the rice planting outside now?" ”

Jia Jiu said: "Fourth sister, you have to remember one thing, except for beans, most crops actually consume the fertility in the land, which is why the land needs to be rested. Although it is said that the fields are green in February, in fact, at this time, what everyone plants in the field is not seedlings, but alfalfa, a kind of pasture grass, which can be harvested in only one and a half or two months. After the alfalfa is harvested and the land is prepared, it is used to grow rice. In ancient times, it took 150 days for rice to mature, but now, some rice varieties only need about 110 days to mature. However, the shorter the ripening period, the higher the requirements for sun and temperature. Therefore, experienced old farmers will adjust according to the weather conditions of the year. After the rice is harvested, beans are planted. If the weather is good in the year, the people can still eat half dry and half thin, but if there is a flood, drought, locust plague or something, the people can only flee. ”

Xichun said: "The people are so pitiful. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Yes." That's why Banzai cares so much about the crops. ”

Jia Mu also nodded with a smile on it, and patted Jia Baoyu's hand and said, "Did you hear it, Baoyu, your father probably won't tell you these words." Although people like us do not need to dig in the ground like others, it is not good if we know nothing about these things. ”

Even if Jia's mother looked down on those peasant women, she also knew that land was the foundation.

Don't talk about the Jia family, the people outside, which family is not ready to buy land with a little spare money in hand? It's those mud legs, even if they save that little money from between their teeth, they will think about buying land in the first place, not to mention others. Any family, even if it needs to live by pawns, will not sell the land in their hands lightly.

It's not just because of face, it's because the land is the root.

Therefore, the children of the family may not know martial arts or write differently, but they must not be ignorant of things in the field. is like Jia Baoyu, who only knows how to play every day and spoil things, even if he doesn't blink an eye, he is not a loser, only the kind of guy who sells land outside is a loser.

Even if Jia's mother loves Jia Baoyu very much, Jia's mother will not allow Jia Baoyu to know nothing about the things in the field. In that case, Jia Mu would rather give her private room to Jia Jiu than Jia Baoyu. Because Jia Baoyu is destined to be unable to hold on. (To be continued......)
