Zhang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then knew that she had lost her words. Telling someone with a foreign surname that he has been wronged in his own family will be recognized as a joke. If you don't answer so beautifully, I'm afraid that in the future, you will inevitably point fingers at yourself and say that you are ungrateful. Family ugliness should not be publicized, which is the law of survival in this world.

Zhang Qian was in a daze, but his sister grabbed in front of Xue Baochai and spoke: "Aunt Shi, you are serious. In fact, after my grandfather's health was not good, the family's income was much less, and I heard that even a quarter of the original capital was gone. On the one hand, the grandfather himself has to recuperate, and on the other hand, he has to deal with the family's expenses and personal contacts, even if the maid and wife in the family are cut by more than half, it is not enough. Later, the grandfather was gone, and the family situation became more and more difficult, and when the father was alive, he was able to reduce the family's taxes a little, and after the father was gone, the annual taxes to be paid by the family were even more breathless. Don't talk about us, even when my aunt is at home, she also does needlework every day until midnight, and she can't rest during the day. This is how ordinary people live. If it is said to be abuse, I am afraid that seventy percent of the people under the sky will not live. ”

Shi Xiangyun hadn't reacted yet, but Jia Yuanchun came over and said with a smile: "What a pair of sharp teeth, let me see how your tongue grows." ”

Zhang Qing immediately begged for mercy: "Auntie, you are laughing at me again." I know, you must feel sorry for Aunt Shi. Auntie, for the sake of my young age and early loss of parents, you can spare me this time. ”

Shi Xiangyun smiled: "Big sister, you see that he is so clever, he is determined that the big sister has always been soft-hearted. He's a compassionate man. ”

Jia Yuanchun also laughed: "Fang just said wrong, this girl is not only like you." It's like Baoyu, like a tomboy. is coquettish, he will too, and he also knows that he is pity. Sister Yun, you have to be careful, the proud person around the old lady may change hands in the future. ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Don't worry, no matter what, the old lady is still my aunt and grandmother." It's their sisters, who have come all the way to Beijing, and if there is an old lady to take care of them, they will be better off in the future. ”

Jia Jiu laughed with everyone: "It's worthy of Sister Yun." The eldest daughter of the Shi family's eldest daughter is generous. ”

Everyone was talking and laughing, but they saw Jia's mother holding the mandarin duck's hand and coming out of the room step by step, seeing the grandchildren laughing so happily, he was really curious: "What are you talking about?" Twitter, I heard you all like starlings under the eaves, and you never stopped fighting. ”

Jia Yuanchun hurriedly saluted with his younger brothers and sisters, and Aunt Xue, who was sitting on it, also went to the ground. I took my daughter to see Jia's mother. Mother Jia sat down on the couch above, and beckoned Aunt Xue to sit on the chair under her left hand and the girls moved before, which made the juniors below get up. As soon as everyone got up, Jia Mu saw the Zhang sisters at the back.

"These two are the children of the Zhang family. Poor to see. Come over and let great-grandmother take a good look. ”

Zhang Qian and Zhang Qing sisters hurriedly came up. Zhang Qian was fine, but Zhang Qing was very nervous. He knew that there was no serious woman on Jia Yu's side now. Mother Jia, the old lady, can do half of her marriage. Especially if she is the granddaughter of the other party's concubine, this is a lot worse. It's about your future. He had to be nervous.

Mother Jia took the crystal tortoiseshell glasses on the side and looked at the appearance of the two children herself. He took the hands of the two of them again, touched the cocoon on his hand, and said: "This child is very similar to the second girl when she was a child, especially the appearance of this head down, it is even more like to the bones." At the beginning, the second girl's weak look, I was angry when I looked at it, this cowardly character, how to be the mother of everyone in the future. Every time I think of this, I feel so sad that I can't sleep all night. But who would have thought that if he didn't make a sound, he would have become a blockbuster. Now I see that the second girl is still worried, I am afraid that he is too powerful, and no one will want him in the future. Alas! You child, you must remember, people can't be too weak, if you are too weak, you will be bullied; You can't be too strong, too strong, and you will be disliked. Got it? ”

Zhang Qian nodded with red eyes. He thought that he, the invisible person among the sisters, had now changed his appearance, and he was afraid that no one in the family would recognize him, but he didn't expect that his elderly grandmother had his own in his heart, but he had many grandchildren and grandchildren, and he occupied a relatively small weight. For a while, I had mixed feelings in my heart, but I seemed to have taken a reassuring pill and felt a lot more relieved.

Compared with Zhang Qian, who was so moved that she was about to cry, Zhang Qing was much simpler. He just widened his eyes and tilted his head slightly, looking at Jia Mu.

Jia Mu said: "Little girl, why are you looking at me like this?" ”

Zhang Qingdao said: "I'm afraid you hate me." ”

Jia Mu sighed and said, "It's a sincere child." ”

As the ancestor of the Jia family, he determines the life and death of many people, as well as their present and future. Not to mention those maids and servants, even his sons and grandchildren, how many of them can get out of his control and influence? However, knowing this, but honestly telling him, there is only this one in front of him.

As the ancestor of the Jia family, why is Jia's mother not lonely? Now that he is with him, he doesn't understand him, but simply asks for a qiē from him, such as Jia Zheng's family who lives in this mansion by themselves, Jia Baoyu, who relies on himself to enjoy the life of a noble son, and Shi Xiangyun, who comes here every three or five days. can understand him, and have a dead heart, they will not be so honest with him, and even try to get something from him. Those minions of the Jia family, the sons and granddaughters below who have their own thoughts, how can Jia's mother not know? It is precisely because he is clear, so he pretends not to know, just so that he is not so lonely. It is precisely because he is clear that he has no objection to the ruling of the imperial court and accepts it in its entirety, whether it is being arrested and his companion room is swept away, or his son is sent home to eat himself, he is extremely calm.

Because Jia Mu knows that this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. It's just that he always holds that little hope in his heart, hoping that such a lively and happy day can last one more day, so that he can have one more day of sweet dreams. Even if the dream was actually bought with money.

Jia Mu sighed, silently opened her hair in a bun, turned her head to the mandarin duck and said, "Bring the gold collar that I found yesterday." He said to the Zhang sisters, "No need to excuse yourself, your aunts and cousins have them." When they were young, the old wife gave them all, don't you see that your third aunt and fourth aunt are wearing them? Your eldest aunt is wearing a necklace and a collar alternately, and your second aunt is going to take your third uncle Cong, so she didn't wear a collar necklace. You don't have to wronged yourself to cooperate with him. So saying, he took the gold collar and put it on the two sisters.

The Zhang sisters put on the collar and saluted Jia's mother to thank Jia's mother for her reward. Jia Mu then instructed their sisters to give a salute to the elders present. First Jia Yuanchun, then Jia Baoyu, Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun Xichun. These are all girls who have not yet started a family, and they don't have any private houses, let alone their property, and this meeting gift is all prepared by Jia's mother. Each purse, inside or hairpins or bracelets or rings, although they are not large things, but they are all precious and exquisite.

Shi Xiangyun saw it in his eyes, and he was extremely envious, and couldn't help but say: "Why don't the nieces and nephews give the second sister a gift." ”

Mother Jia said: "Yun girl, these two children were brought by your second sister." ”

Shi Xiangyun said: "Old lady, people are just curious about what kind of meeting gift the second sister will prepare." Today is the first time that the two cousins and daughters have officially presented a gift to everyone. ”

Zhang Qingdao: "The second aunt has already prepared a box of jewelry for us. ”

Jia Jiu moved Jia Cong in his arms to make him sit more comfortably, but said with a smile: "I don't dare to take credit for this." It was my father who explained it, and the two cousins-in-law helped Zhang Luo. It's not my credit. I have also prepared this greeting gift, but it is not as good as the old lady and the sisters, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

The Zhang sisters said that they didn't dare to say again. Xiao Hong behind Jia Jiu immediately held two purses with a small tray. These two purses are different from the big red purses of silk satin embroidered with gold thread chrysanthemum prepared by Jia's mother, but they are two very ordinary lake blue, and each purse contains a Pisces pendant, which is quite a simple style, with the color of the ancient jade, it complements each other. Although it is not the top of the prestige, but the solemnity and elegance are indeed good things to play.

Shi Xiangyun said: "Isn't this what the eldest master bought for my sister last time?" I begged my sister several times, and my sister just let me get over it. The second sister is really willing. ”

Jia Jiu smiled and said, "Who let them have a relationship with their nieces." ”“

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai on the side knew that although these two pieces of Pisces were not made of top-grade jade, they were very old objects. Such a thing, replaced by the average family heirloom. In this way, Aunt Xue couldn't take out the things she had prepared.

Yes, the Xue family does not have enough identity, and since they entered Beijing, they have relied on family wealth to support them. Their identity determines that they can't use more pomp than the Jia family, and it also determines that there can't be too many girls around them. The girls around Aunt Xue can't exceed Mother Jia, nor can they exceed the number of girls around Mrs. Wang before, and the girls around Xue Baochai can't exceed the number of Jia Jiu, and even he has to be polite to Jia Yuanchun and Tanchun, because there are only two big girls around these two cousins. For this reason, Xue Baochai had to dispel the attention of adding a girl.

Before, Xue Baochai also had the intention to compare with Jia Jiu in terms of clothing, but after being broken by Jia Jiu, he could only put away most of his clothes and jewelry, and put on a dignified and simple appearance.

It's just that the more this is the case, the more unwilling they are to lose the upper hand in this kind of face-saving meeting ceremony. Soon, Xiangling was ordered to send four purses.

Aunt Xue smiled: "Although they are all new things, they are all southern styles." The two girls are just a gadget, whether they are stubborn or used to reward others, they are all good. (To be continued......)
