When Jia Jiu came to the hanging flower gate in front of Jia's mother's yard in the car, Brother Parrot was already waiting in front of the door.

The old lady was still chattering, saying that a quarter of an hour had passed, why hadn't the girl come yet, and whether there was something delayed. The servants reassured them again and again, and the old lady was a little relieved, and sent the servants to wait here. The maid said that the girl was just delayed, and the old lady angrily scolded us for not paying attention. After a while, he came to the old lady and asked the girl to say a few kind words for the maids. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "It's that I made the old lady worried." But parrot, you've learned badly, too. The old lady is old, so why not follow his old man's family. ”

Brother Parrot smiled and said, "The girl made fun of it." This is also the blessing of the servant, the old lady is kind, otherwise where would the servant be like this? ”

Jia Jiu got out of the car with a smile, hugged his younger brother, and walked inside with Brother Parrot talking and laughing. Later, Xiu Tang and Xiaohong took the food box from their mother-in-law and followed their master across the threshold.

In the Rongqing Hall, Jia's mother had already cleaned up and sat on the lacquered couch above, with Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun sitting on the side, whispering. Jia Yuanchun also arrived early, and when he saw Jia Jiu coming, he said, "Second sister, it's not yours today." Why is it too late to greet the old lady? Let the old lady wait for your granddaughter. ”

Jia Jiu first saluted Jia's mother, got Jia's mother's permission, and after getting up, he said, "It's the granddaughter who worries the old lady." Yesterday, an old lady said that it was hot today, and she was so irritable that she couldn't eat anything. The granddaughter tried to make her own sour plum soup, and also made a small snack, and asked the old lady to taste it to see if it fits. ”

Jia Mu smiled: "What kind of dim sum has cost you so much time?" ”

"It's ginger hitting the milk. The old lady knew it at a glance. ”

As he spoke, Xiu Tang and Xiao Hong hurriedly brought the food box. That's all there is to the sour plum soup. If this thing is not sufficiently cooled or chilled, it will not achieve the purpose of relieving the heat. The sour plum soup sent by Jia Jiu has just come out of the pot, even if the ice has been changed once, it is not cold enough. However, the ginger milk in another food box exuded a sweet milk fragrance, which attracted Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, two little hairy children.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Yesterday I ate sugar steamed cheese at the old lady's place, and I thought it was a little sweet, and my sister sent this ginger milk today." ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "This ginger milk is much lighter than sugar steamed cheese." Although the sugar steamed cheese is good, I still think it is more suitable for use in autumn and winter. Old lady, do you want to eat this snack now or will you eat it after breakfast? ”

Before Jia's mother could speak, Jia Baoyu had already stared at the food box with bright eyes: "Old lady, I want to eat a snack." ”

Mother Jia hugged Jia Baoyu and said, "Good boy, you haven't eaten breakfast before you eat snacks, and you can't eat breakfast carefully!" After breakfast in a while, shall we have another snack? ”

Jia Baoyu is a person who is used to being pampered by Jia's mother, and she pesters Jia's mother unrelentingly, so she wants to eat snacks. Jia's mother couldn't grind, so she had to nod and ask Jia Jiu to take out the dim sum. The first bowl is naturally Jia Mu's, the second bowl is Shi Xiangyun's, the third bowl is Jia Yuanchun's, and the fourth bowl is Jia Baoyu's.

Although Jia Baoyu was willful, he also knew that he was polite to Shi Xiangyun and his sister, but he didn't make any noise, but just looked at Jia Jiu's movements.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun took the small bowl in his hand, he said, "Second sister, has the house built an ice cellar?" This ginger milk seems to have been chilled. ”

Jia Jiu said: "We don't have an ice cellar at home. The ice cellar is the configuration of the palace, if it is a private house, it is just a private residence, and the official residence cannot repair the ice cellar privately. It's not in order. ”

Shi Xiangyun was speechless: "Does the house spend money to buy ice every day?" That's a lot of money. The first two days were very hot, and I just talked to my aunt more, and the two aunts were counted down. ”

That's not a good thing to say. Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "Each family has its own way. Our family has always been willing to spend money on this, even if we pay off the deficit, my father does not want to wronged his family on this. As for the house, when my father was still in deficit last time, he also said that our family, your Shi family, and the Wang family owe a lot of money to the national treasury. I don't know if the Wang family has repaid it, but according to my father's words, your Shi family is the first of the three of us to return the deficit in the treasury. It's just that your family is different from ours, your family let those domestic slaves leave with their private property, and our family found out that something was wrong with those slaves, and it took a lot of money to clean up those slaves before they were left short. Sister Yun, since the two Hou Ye ladies can't help but count down their sisters, I think it's because of the family's financial difficulties. ”

Shi Xiangyun lowered his head but did not answer.

Mother Jia said: "Speaking of my two nephews and daughters-in-law, they are both honest people. I heard that their family doesn't use needlework now, and the things on the two nephews are all done by themselves. It's a pity that they are also the daughters of the noble family at home, but now they are not idle every day. ”

Jia Jiu said with a smile: "Old lady, there is a way to be diligent and thrifty, and live within your means. It is not a bad thing for the two cousins to do this. ”

Jia Mu nodded Jia Jiu's forehead and said, "You know again." Who would have thought that when Jia Cong saw Jia Mu nod Jia Jiu's forehead, he actually shouted at Jia Mu.

Jia Mu said: "Cong'er is here to protect my sister again." Good boy, hungry or not? Would you like a snack? ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "Old lady, I haven't given him this ginger milk." Those soups and water, as long as you drink them slowly, if you choke on rice and fish soup, cough one or two, and cry for a while, the little nose will pass. But this ginger hitting milk is different. ”

Jia Mu said: "You, you just think too much." However, yes, this ginger is cold and cold, he is a little big, what does he know? I gave it to him, but I was afraid that he would still want to eat it, and I was afraid that he would have a stomachache if he ate too much. Let's go, so be it. Our Cong'er can only watch us eat delicious food. ”

Who would have thought that Jia Cong actually understood, turned around and cried into his sister's arms. Jia Jiu had no choice but to pick him up and coax him slowly, and it was easy for him to put away his tears. How old is Jia Cong, he cried a lot, and he was tired, so he fell asleep soon.

Mother Jia motioned to Jia Jiu to carry Jia Cong to the inside, put her in the rocking car, and let the girl guard it, and then came out to eat.

Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun ate a bowl of ginger and milk, this breakfast was less than before, and they didn't eat tea after the meal, and they wanted to eat ginger and milk, so panicked that Jia Jiu had to stop them: "Baoyu, Sister Yun, although this ginger is good, but in the end it is a little cold, why don't we eat tea first, and then eat this snack later." And this ginger is chilled with ice, which will be more icy and tastier after a while, and it will be more able to cool off. Now that I have eaten it, my stomach is cold, and I don't digest my breakfast carefully. ”

Jia Baoyu smiled: "It's still my sister who thinks thoughtfully." Then I'll have a snack later. ”

However, Jia Yuanchun sat on the side for a long time, and finally spoke: "Second sister, is this snack made of buffalo milk?" I remember that there is only one buffalo milk in Jingshi, not to mention the high price, and the daily production is even more numerous. When Baoyu landed, her mother also wanted to order a buffalo milk, but who knew that she had a large sum of silver, and she ignored it. ”

Jia Jiu said: "This is my father's ability." For this buffalo milk, my father really put a lot of thought into it. First of all, plainclothes came to the door in person, and took care of the people's care; After coming back, my father changed into an official uniform, put on a guard of honor, and took over the other party and actually discharged the royal family. My father had no choice, so he had to try his best to get close to the head of the family, and the other party was gambling on chess and wine, and he also gave him a favorite game that he had played for many years, and said a lot of good things, which made the other party nod and let our family twenty-four pounds every day. The old lady has eight catties here, and her mother sleeps all day long and needs to be nourished, five catties a day, and Cong'er is young and has no grandmother, five catties a day, and my brother and I are also stained, and we can get three catties a day. ”

Jia Mu nodded and said, "I see, although your father is messing around a bit, he is very good at doing things." It's hard for your father, and I know his temper. Although I don't say it on my face, I don't know how to feel sorry for my baby in my heart. Mandarin duck, go take out the painting of Wang Youjun in my old box and send it to the boss. He coveted this painting for a long time, and this time it cheapened him. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "The old lady feels sorry for her son, but she still says such things." If you want me to say, the old lady and her father really have the same temper, and they really deserve to be a mother and son. ”

Mother Jia smiled and hugged Jia Jiu and said, "The boss is my own son, so you are not my daughter?" If you want me to say, you are very filial and capable like when I was a child. It's just not good at reading, like your father. ”

Jia Jiu snuggled in Jia's mother's arms with a smile, and this picture of grandchildren and music stabbed Jia Yuanchun's eyes red.

"It turns out that in the old lady's heart, only one of the two sisters is filial, and we are all unfilial?" The words rushed out of his mouth, Jia Yuanchun didn't regret it, but he didn't want to apologize.

It turned out that the position next to Jia's mother belonged to him, even if Shi Xiangyun came, it was just because of the identity of the guest, when did Jia's mother actually hug Jia Jiu, who had never been put in the eyes of him Jia Yuanchun?

As soon as Jia Yuanchun's words fell, Jia Jiu saw his intelligent housekeeper carrying a sign on his back that [The master abused me thousands of times, I treat the master like my first love], holding a huge signboard in his hand, which read: [Hidden Mission: Untie Jia Yuanchun's heart knot. Reward: 1000 points, one beginner bag. 】

Before Jia Jiu could react, there was a new change in the house.

Jia Yuanchun was speechless, he thought that Jia's mother would let it go gently, or Jia Jiu would come out to play the round as always, just like he had recently expressed his general knowledge, but he didn't expect that Jia Jiu hadn't organized the language yet, Shi Xiangyun actually spoke first: "The second sister gets up early every day, and she has to take care of the eldest wife, take care of the younger brother, and make snacks for us." Of course, the second sister is filial. ”

As soon as Shi Xiangyun's words fell, Jia Baoyu wilted first: "Sister Yun, am I very unfilial." My wife stayed in the temple every day, but I didn't go to see him. ”

Shi Xiangyun realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurt Jia Baoyu's heart, but he didn't know how to answer, so he had to turn his eyes for help to Jia Mu. But it's too late for Mother Jia to hate this woman. In Jia's mother's heart, her son is good, if she hadn't married a troublemaker, she wouldn't have fallen to such a point. How could Jia Mu say good things for Mrs. Wang.

It's not easy to take these words, if you are not careful, you will either offend Jia's mother, or offend Jia Baoyu and Jia Yuanchun, and you may even offend everyone present. It's just that Jia Mu didn't speak, and Shi Xiangyun had already turned his pleading gaze to himself. Jia Mu can not take Shi Xiangyun seriously, but she can't. If you ignore it, you will properly offend Shi Xiangyun, a cautious girl.

In the original book, Shi Xiangyun's differential treatment of Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai is not daring to be taught as long as it is a person.

It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. The problem is that Lin Daiyu is a gentleman, but Shi Xiangyun is not even a hypocrite.

Jia Jiu thought for a while and said, "It's been a long time, and now that I think about it, the second wife is very good to the second uncle and the eldest sister and big brother Baoyu." If it weren't for the second wife's dedication behind the scenes, I'm afraid that the second uncle wouldn't have so much leisure and money to chant poems, drink and paint with those Qing guests; If it weren't for the second wife, Brother Zhu would not have entered the Guozijian study so smoothly. Whether as a wife or a mother, the second wife did the best he could. It's just that the second wife is a woman in the end, and she adheres to the rules of the Wang family's women, she has never read a book, and she doesn't know a few words. If the second wife had been like the eldest sister since she was a child, and the family had been well educated, so that the second wife could read and understand the truth, the second wife would not have come to this point. ”

Jia Mu nodded and said, "That's right, that's exactly what happened." When I first discussed marriage, I saw that he had a good appearance, a good temperament, and a good woman's appearance, so I decided on this family business. But who would have thought that the daughter of the Wang family was illiterate. It's a pity. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "Since the old lady also said that her mother is good, can your grandson ask the old lady to release her mother." The grandson kowtows to the old lady. ”

Jia Mu hurriedly supported Jia Baoyu and said, "Baoyu, do you know that everyone outside is staring at our family now." If your mother comes out like this, I'm afraid that the first one outside will impeach your father, and then you will have to trouble your siblings. Your mother lived in the temple just to prevent your two siblings from being embarrassed. Don't let your mother's sacrifice go down the drain, you know? ”

Jia Baoyu said: "But old lady, I miss my wife." I don't know if my wife is good in the Buddha hall? I ate this buffalo milk, but my wife didn't have anything. ”

Mother Jia said: "Don't worry, now that your family is your sister's house, can he wronged your mother?" After these two years, things have faded, and it is not too late for your mother to come out again. It's too early. ”

Jia Baoyu nodded, and came over to thank Jia Jiu again, Jia Jiu hurriedly avoided: "Baoyu, what are you doing here?" ”

Jia Baoyu said: "Second sister, these days, as long as the wife is mentioned, everyone is secretive, only the second sister has said good things for the wife. I thank my second sister here. As he spoke, he gave Jia Jiu another look.

Jia Jiu hurriedly helped Jia Baoyu up and said, "Look at what you said." Actually, I didn't understand it at first, but I just started to learn how to be a housekeeper, and then I realized the difficulties in this. I know that you are a rich and noble idler who grew up in a splendid pile, and you have never been worried about money, and I used to do the same. Now that I think about it, it's not easy for the second wife. The second uncle's income is just that, and the family's income is also counted. But don't you want money for this unique calligraphy and painting? Didn't you buy this daily food with money? Even that girl of yours attacked people, and she sold it to our family for those few taels of silver. If it weren't for the family's hardship, and a group of hateful minions working behind, the second wife would not have gone astray. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "It's not my wife's fault? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Although the second wife is at fault, it was those minions who set a trap for the second wife for the money. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "Really? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Naturally, take it seriously. Otherwise, why do you think my father was so angry with those minions? Cleaned up those minions with thunderous means? Even the old lady talked to her father several times, but his father didn't nod. Those minions are too hateful. ”

Jia Baoyu said: "But everyone is still blaming Mrs. ”

Jia Jiu said: "As the head of the house, you can't discipline the slaves below, of course people have to point fingers behind your back." ”

Jia Baoyu said: "But is reading useful? Those who read outside are not the country's heroes. All the corpses are vegetarian, they don't know how to serve the country and the people, but they are vigorously putting silver in their pockets. ”

Jia Jiu smiled: "How old are you, and how many people have you seen?" That's right, there are really not many such people in this world, but most of the people who revolved around the second master in the past were just such people. When you are older in the future, you will naturally be able to meet those real celebrities, and at that time, you will laugh at today's omissions. ”

Jia Baoyu tilted his head and said, "Is it because I am negligent?" As he spoke, he went to the side in a daze, which made Shi Xiangyun very worried. Mother Jia saw that this grandson was thinking about things, and she didn't want Shi Xiangyun to disturb him, so she beckoned Shi Xiangyun to pass.

Mother Jia was talking above, but Jia Yuanchun beckoned Jia Jiu over and said, "Second sister, thank you so much today." Before I entered the palace, Baoyu had already learned three or four books in her stomach. But who would have thought that in the past few years, he has not grown at all, but it really makes me embarrassed. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Look at what my sister said." The elder brother of a family like ours has been clothed and fed since childhood, and it is common for him to endure hardships and be afraid of tiredness. Hengzhu Baoyu is still young, and there are some people who neglect to read and like to have fun, but it can't be said that he will be like this for the rest of his life. Has my sister forgotten the allusion of a late bloomer? ”

Jia Yuanchun said: "Da Su? Your mouth is so sweet. If the treasure jade comes out in the future, I will thank you for your auspicious words today. It's just that I'm afraid my wife can't wait......"

"Big sister?"

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly cleaned up his expression and said, "Look at me, I forgot what I wanted to say just now." Second sister, what you just said about my mother, are you sincere? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Look at what my sister said, can this still be fake?" It also started with my brother. That's right, the sister of the Wang family is indeed good, with a good appearance and a good temperament. Our family just needs someone who can stand up to come in and take care of the housework. But then my father carefully checked his bottom line, and then he shook his head. The father also said that the sister of the Wang family, like the second wife, is bold, but she does not take the laws of the country seriously. If the second wife remembers the word national law all the time, she will not put the money in print, and she will not get into trouble. Big sister, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. The eldest sister also knew that my father was the most afraid, so she shook her head. ”

"It's not because of Big Brother Hu, nor is it because of the eldest lady's difficult birth?"

Jia Jiu said: "Although it is said that my mother who is the first to go is in a hurry. But big sister, you also have to think about how old the first mother was when she was pregnant with her third child, and it is difficult to say whether it was an accident or someone did it. As for the confessions of those minions, big sister, you also have to think like this, how rampant the original slaves in our family were, and they really have to have trouble if they have nothing to do. If we have two rooms and a beautiful one, where do they come from the chance. ”

Jia Yuanchun nodded and stopped talking. Jia Jiu was still wondering, when he heard a buzzing sound in his head:
