Chapter 175
On this day, the peonies in the Rongguo Mansion Garden were in full bloom, and Jia's mother asked people to set up a banquet, and sent someone to invite her daughter and son-in-law's family to come back to enjoy the flowers. In Jia's mother's Rongqing Hall, Jia Min saw Baochai for the first time in the Red Mansion, who had always been tied with Daiyu for the first time.
Mother Jia sat on the top, hugged Daiyu in her arms, and pointed to Baochai's mother and daughter to introduce Jia Min: "This is your sister-in-law's sister-in-law, whose husband's surname is Xue." Presumably you also know that Lu Dao is the descendant of Xue Gong, a person from Ziweishe. This is her daughter, nicknamed Baochai, a very considerate and generous child. ”
He said to Aunt Xue again: "This is my daughter, her husband's surname is Lin, and she only returned to Beijing with her husband last year." ”
Jia Min was younger than Aunt Xue, and took the lead in getting up and saying a blessing, saying, "Aunt is good." ”
Aunt Xue hurriedly got up and returned the salute, "Mrs. Aunt is good." "Call your daughter again," Baochai came over and saw Mrs. Gu. ”
Baochai came over unhurriedly, Ying Ying bowed, her voice was crisp, and she smiled: "I've seen Mrs. Gu." ”
Jia Min smiled: "Hurry up, follow Baoyu and them, just call me aunt." She stretched out her hand and beckoned, called Baochai to her side, took her hand and took a closer look, Baochai was three years older than Daiyu, and she was twelve years old this year, showing the young figure of a girl at the beginning. The eyebrows are divided into green feathers, the eyes are like apricots, and the lips are like a peony flower that has just bloomed.
"What a beauty." Jia Min praised it sincerely, called the girl behind her, gave the prepared gift, and said: "It's just some ordinary plays, Miss Xue don't dislike it, or keep it to play, or take it to reward people." ”
When Jia Min looked at her just now, Baochai stood down and generously, and when she heard this, she hurriedly smiled and thanked her before slowly retreating to Aunt Xue's side.
Jia Min smiled at Aunt Xue and said, "Aunt is so blessed to have such a peugeot and well-behaved daughter." ”
Aunt Xue smiled on her face, and hurriedly said modestly: "Bao Yatou is just the posture of Pu Liu, where can she be praised by Mrs. Gu like this." ”
Jia Min also called Daiyu and daughter-in-law Yang Fei. Let the two of them meet Aunt Xue, and greet each other with Baochai. Aunt Xue also gave a gift, and said with a smile: "I often hear the old lady talking about her granddaughter, but I saw it today." This all-round style, where does it look like a granddaughter, it is like a granddaughter of a close relative. ”
In a word, Jia Mu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she hugged Daiyu and didn't let go.
After seeing each other, Jia's mother took her family and went to the garden. All kinds of peonies are in full bloom in the garden. Thousands of postures, extremely charming. Although Daiyu has lived happily in this life, her own temperament has not changed much. has the same delicate senses of a poet, and also likes to scatter and not like to gather. That kind of look at the flowers and cry, and the feeling of sadness will occasionally appear.
Therefore, when she saw the flowers in the garden, she didn't have much joy, but looked at the peonies in the garden. Stunned.
Tanchun saw it, covered his lips and smiled: "Sister Lin, but there is another good sentence." "After nearly a year of getting along, Daiyu and the three sisters Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun were separated. The relationship became intimate. The little sisters were about the same age, and they often got together to talk and laugh, and they got close to each other very quickly, and they were naturally familiar with each other's hobbies. Celebrate the Spring Festival. Exploring spring is good at books, cherishing spring and painting, but Daiyu prefers poetry and songs.
That's it. As soon as Dai Yu was concentrating, Tanchun quipped. Daiyu smiled: "Where is the good sentence, it's just nonsense, third sister, you also come to make fun of me." ”
Tanchun said with a smile: "At that time, I had this heart for a long time, and I wanted to start a poetry club, with the four of us, plus the eldest sister-in-law, and Sister Yun." Now, there is another sister Bao, who has really broad knowledge, and we are not as good as her. ”
Daiyu became interested, "It's so good, but did you tell your sister-in-law?" ”
"I was about to mention it." Tanchun smiled.
Baochai sat on the side and shook his head: "Don't count me, I can't do it." Besides, those of us still take chastity and tranquility as the key, and then it is knitted female red, and the rest of the poems and lyrics are just occasionally played, and this can really be used there. ”
When she spoke, it was difficult for Ling Tanchun to continue, so she had to smile, "I just think about it like this." ”
Daiyu's education since she was a child is basically similar to that of her brother, and girls must know how to give female red feeds and the like, and of course Jia Min also taught it. But I've never heard of anything, how a girl should be. It's just that she and Baochai are both guests, so it's hard to say much.
Jia Min sat quite close to the girls, listening to them whispering and laughing with a smile, and when she heard Baochai's words, she smiled and said: "Mrs. Auntie, your girl is really virtuous and virtuous, and the girl in our family is not as good as these nieces of my mother's family." ”
Aunt Xue is proud to have a daughter like Baochai, especially after they lived in the Ronggong Mansion, Baochai pressed the Yingchun sisters firmly underneath. In addition to being happy, she is more confident in her daughter's choice.
Today, Jia Min praised, although he made a modest appearance on his face, he was proud in his heart.
Jia Min raised her eyebrows and said in her heart: Do you really think I am praising your daughter? Forget it, people can think whatever they like.
The ladies were strolling happily in the garden, and Mother Jia called the playmaker and the storyteller to have fun. Daiyu and the other young girls sat together and whispered to each other.
No, Baoyu suddenly came over. He strode over, smiled and came to Jia's mother's side, tired of Jia's mother and said, "Old lady, it's still lively here, don't let me go to the front." ”
Jia Min's eyes widened slightly, and he spoke before Jia's mother: "Brother Bao, you are ten years old, half a year old, and you are not a child anymore, why are you still in the women's team and let others know the truth, you shouldn't laugh at you." Listen to my aunt and go back to the front seat, that's where you should be. ”
Somehow, Baoyu was a little afraid of Jia Min's aunt. After listening to Jia Min's words, his expression was pale. Jia's mother was very distressed, so she wanted to open her mouth to keep her grandson down, but when she saw her daughter, she looked at her with a smile, and swallowed back the words that were about to be spoken.
"Auntie, I was wrong." Baoyu couldn't stand Jia Min's gaze, said a word, and walked away step by step.
Seeing this, Mrs. Wang felt an unspeakable feeling in her heart. Baoyu didn't say anything to her mother, so why did she listen to Jia Min like this? Could it be because of Daiyu? Her gaze involuntarily swept over Jia Min's face and landed on Daiyu's pink little face. To be honest, if it weren't for Lin Yatou's background, a delicate girl like her would really not be a candidate for a daughter-in-law of Hege. Qualified daughter-in-law. should be like her niece Baochai, punctuality, stability and generosity.
She compares Daiyu and Baochai in her heart, and the more she compares, the more she feels that if she doesn't look at her background, Baochai is ten times stronger than Daiyu. Not to mention anything else, just looking at Baochai's round and jade body, that Daiyu looks thin and petite, not as blessed as Baochai's appearance. She sighed secretly, if Baochai didn't run for election at that time. It's not bad to have such a daughter-in-law.
The Xue family is million-rich, and Baochai's dowry will not be worse than Daiyu. Besides, Daiyu is Jia Min's daughter, and she must not have the same heart as herself, how can her own niece know how to be considerate of herself.
Her mind was shaken here, and Jia Min had already talked to Jia Mu in private.
"Old lady, no matter how much you spoil Baoyu, you can't let a teenager go. I hang out with the girls every day. Jia Min was particularly dissatisfied with this, if she hadn't watched closely and sent enough people to her daughter, Baoyu might have bumped into her daughter's boudoir many times.
Daiyu is different from the book. She has a father and a mother, and she is no longer the orphan girl living in her grandfather's house in the book. Every time she was taken to Jia's house by Jia's mother, she was just a guest, and she didn't grow up with Baoyu's childhood sweetheart and intimacy. As a matter of fact. The little girl doesn't have much affection for Baoyu's cousin. For this, Jia Min couldn't be more satisfied. It's all because she is well educated!
But she guarded against it, how could Mother Jia, an old lady, be confused like this. Jia Min is worthy of being a person who has survived and fought for so long in ancient times, and his brain hole was too big in an instant, and he thought about all the intrigues.
Jia's mother said: "How old is Baoyu, and there is a hairy child." Besides, they are all relatives, so they don't have so many scruples. ”
Jia Min was unhappy, "Old lady, if you do this again, I won't be able to let Yu'er come over again." ”
Mother Jia was also unhappy, "Baoyu is your nephew, and he is the most similar to your father, why don't you seem to treat him at all." ”
"Ouch, my mother-in-law, you can see that I don't want to see him." Jia Min pursed his lips, "Just a kid like him who stabs beautiful girls every day, you want me to see him more." Besides, I have heard from our Yu'er's grandmother that early in the morning, I want to go into our Yu'er's boudoir, what is going on. Even if it's a brother and sister, it's too unusual. ”
Jia Mu: "You ......"
Jia Min said with a straight face: "Old lady, let's tell you the truth." The saint and the queen both gave us words and wanted to choose Yu'er as the fifth princess. It's just that they're young and haven't talked about it yet. You say, can I not pay more attention? ”
Jia Mu looked inexplicable for a while, and only after a while did she say, "This is a good thing." ”
Jia Min sighed secretly and smiled, "It should be considered a good thing." There is another ......" She said to Jia's mother meaningfully: "After all, Miss Nabao is two aunts and brothers, and she wants to be an alternative, so she should avoid it." ”
Jia Mu nodded: "Okay, what you say is always reasonable, I will listen to you." ”
Jia Min smiled at this time: "This is the benefit of reading more." ”
Mother Jia was so angry that she patted her, "That's you, arranging your old son every day." ”
Jia Min hid with a smile, and said something new and interesting, to coax Jia's mother to be happy, and saw that the old lady slowly changed color, so she was relieved.
After Baoyu left, Baochai also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She came for selection, and she had a slight calculation in her heart, and her goal was on the prince of the East Palace. But her own brother is already very problematic, and she doesn't want to have any more fame. His eyes fell on Daiyu beside him, Baochai thought of what he heard by chance, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, I heard that you have been studying with Mr. Yuan. "Yuan Xu, the teacher of the Son of Heaven, has taught two generations of emperors in a row. I don't know how many famous people want to worship him. But this old Mr. Yuan didn't accept anything, even the prince of the saint was thrown to Lin Hai to teach. As for Lin Hai's son and daughter, they were all taught by Yuan Xu, and I don't know how envious, jealous and hateful students all over the world are.
Originally, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min initially asked Daiyu to study with Mr. Yuan, also in the name of borrowing from Mr. Yuan. After all, just by following the old gentleman for a period of time, Daiyu's future husband can respect her well, that is, her mother-in-law, and she can't be too much to her. Of course, this is based on the fact that Daiyu's husband is a student, or a famous son or something, which can also scare a group of people. In today's society, which is extremely unfair to women. Lin Hai and Jia Min subconsciously tried everything they could to ensure their daughter's future life. Mr. Yuan is old and refined, and he still doesn't understand anything. It's just that he loves his son, and he is also considerate, although he always talks about it, he can teach Daiyu to do his best.
There is no conflict of interest between Baochai and Daiyu, but Daiyu is still a little envious of it.
Daiyu smiled: "It's not really, I just go over occasionally to ask for advice." Most of them are just talking with Grandpa Yuan, and they can be regarded as doing their filial piety for my father. ”
Baochai said: "I have heard the old gentleman's reputation for a long time, and my sister is Mr. Deneng's teaching, and she has been useful for life. ”
Daiyu smiled and nodded, "What Sister Bao said is very true. ”
After the banquet was over, Daiyu and Jia Min said that they were returning home in a car, and Jia Min asked her curiously: "See you had a good conversation with Miss Xue today?" ”
Daiyu tilted her head and thought about it, "It's not very good." ”
"Oh?" Jia Min raised his eyebrows, what is this. Without Baoyu, these two little girls will still look at each other unpleasantly?
Daiyu pursed her lips, even in private, discussing others with her mother. Still made her a little uncomfortable, lowered her head, rolled her handkerchief, and whispered, "Sister Bao's thoughts." It's not quite the same as what my mother said. ”
"You say yes, chastity is the main thing, and the second is knitting women's red." Jia Min thought about it casually. I know what Lu Dao Baochai said. Well, Jia Min has to admit that she has always felt that Sister Bao is a girl who is a good teacher and likes to show off.
Daiyu nodded, as a popular textbook for boudoir education, of course she had read it. What's that, the first gentleman before, he also gave a special class on the fourth book of women, and talked about the virgin ladies and ladies of ancient times every day. Later, the gentleman was dismissed by her mother. She still remembered that her mother stroked her head and said gently: "Yu'er knows what the four books of Taoist women say, you don't have to learn from them." That's stupid, for thousands of years, there are only a few dozen people. It is written according to the will of the man, and it is the man who benefits. The mother didn't want to pamper the daughter who was raised by a thousand pets, but she was taught to be stupid and was cheated by men, and the mother had no place to cry. ”
"Mother, isn't what Sister Bao said right?"
Jia Min knocked on her daughter's little head, "How many things can you make in a year?" It's just that when peers and elders celebrate their birthdays, they occasionally do it and do their best. As long as you're not too bad, who can be picky? ”
"You're still young, just follow your preference. To put it mildly, don't say that my daughter is so fairy, even if her complexion is mediocre, she also has a famous son who comes to ask for marriage. "In these years, when a famous son marries a wife, he also has to look at the status of the woman's father.
Daiyu's face flushed, and she turned around and said, "Mother, what are you talking about." ”
Jia Min lowered his head and chuckled, and reached out to hold his daughter into his arms, "Don't be ashamed, what my mother said is true, you just need to keep it in your heart." You must know the way, you are the baby of your father and mother, you must always take care of yourself, don't hurt yourself for the sake of unworthy people, do you know the way? ”
Daiyu nodded as if she didn't understand, and said softly: "Mother, I wrote it down." ”
That night, after Lin Rui and Daiyu said good night, they went back to the hospital. Jia Min sat in front of the makeup mirror, slowly unloading his hair, Lin Ruhai was very fast, he had already changed his pajamas, his hair was scattered, and he was soaking his feet.
"Did you see Big Brother Jing today?" Jia Min spoke slowly.
Lin Ruhai closed his eyes and said loudly: "No." I have been there four times, I have said what I should say, and I have persuaded what I should persuade, but he is a thoughtful immortal, and no one can stop talking. Lin Ruhai is busy with official business, and Xiao Jin and Yang Ze often ask him to gather together, and the time is not enough. In this way, he also found time to persuade Jia Jing in the Taoist temple, hoping that he could return home and support the rights of the patriarch.
Jia Min shook his hand, and then smiled casually: "Don't you listen, do you?" ”
Lin Ruhai shuddered coldly, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw that his wife was smiling very gently. He subconsciously spat and said cautiously, "Hmm." ”
"Alright, I know the way." Jia Min dismantled his hair, took a jade comb and combed it a hundred times, before he put on his long hair, changed into pajamas and went to bed.
Lin Ruhai was shocked, "This is the end?" His wife smiled just now, and she smiled very gently, how could it be like this? It's so unscientific.
This night, Lin Ruhai never slept well. Facts have proved that he does know Jia Min very well.
Within two days, Lin Ruhai, who was mad at the account book in the household department, received a report from the subordinates of the family, and his wife took the subordinates of the family. smashed Jia Jing's Taoist temple, and tied Jia Jing from head to toe, and dragged him back to Rongguo Mansion directly.
Oh, my God! Lin Ruhai only felt like he was dreaming!
At that time, when Jia Min started, he didn't plan to smash the house and kidnap people. She just habitually put on a show to scare people, wanting to get Jia Jing back. Speaking of which, on the side of Rongguofu, she can still intervene with Mother Jia. Moreover, even if the two brothers Jia Yu and Jia Zheng are not satisfied with Jia Min's interference in family affairs. It's just a few complaints in private, and I won't really go outside to say anything about her. After all, the brother and sister of the same mother, the husband she married is very promising, what knot can she not untie.
But Ning Guofu can't do it, Jia Min can't control other people's side at all. Even if she has the heart to say a few words, it depends on whether people listen to her or not. However, compared with Rongguo Mansion, the gentlemen over there in Ning Guofu are even more unbearable. The only one who can hold Jia Zhen down. Only his son Jia Jing.
Speaking of which, this Jia Jing didn't know what kind of stab Lu Dao had suffered, so he easily fell into the Jinshi and refused to be an official. still refuses to attack the lord, but wants to become a monk and become a Taoist priest, it's really crazy.
"Big brother is good." When Jia Min came in and saw Jia Jing in a Taoist robe, his eyes couldn't stop bursting with fire.
Jia Jing was very surprised. Why did Jia Min come? He smiled slightly, and said, "It turned out to be the fourth sister, please take a seat." "It's also called Little Taoist." Serve tea. ”
Jia Min was not polite, he sat down directly on the upper left, and his eyes fell directly on Jia Jing's face, "Big brother is much less than when I first came out of Beijing. ”
Jia Jing smiled: "I haven't found out." ”
Jia Min looked around and found that although this Taoist temple was a little simple, it was also full of hidden mysteries, and it was by no means comparable to a place of non-asceticism. Just watching, the little Taoist priest brought tea over, and Jia Jing smiled and said: "The Taoist temple is bitter, and the fourth sister has been wronged." ”
Jia Min held the tea in his hand, and didn't drink it, but said with a smile: "It's really bitter." But......" she changed her words, "why did Big Brother Jing see through the red dust?" Let's let my sister hear about it? ”
"This ......" Jia Jing really couldn't answer. He had many ideas before, and they were all photographed back by Lin Ruhai one by one. Now Jia Min asks again, how should he answer?
"The eldest brother jumped out of the red dust and went freely, but he threw all the family affairs and clan affairs to his son, is he really at ease?" Jia Min's words were sharp. "Besides, what kind of character is Brother Zhen'er, and the eldest brother really doesn't know anything? Aren't you afraid that he will make some big mistake and bring the whole clan tired? The saint cloud, raising or not teaching, the fault of the father. The eldest brother has not fulfilled his father's responsibilities, and he still dares to delusionally dream of ascending to the fairyland and transcending the world? ”
can give birth to a son like Jia Zhen, Jia Jing himself is not very good, and after being said by Jia Min in a few words, he directly slapped the case, turned around and brushed his sleeves: "Don't speculate, the fourth sister go back, don't come back in the future." ”
Jia Min was annoyed at the time, damn, if you don't listen to the old lady's good words, you dare to drive people away! If I don't give you some powerful looks, you don't know why the flowers are so red!
Jia Jing served tea to the guests, Jia Min sat still, and sneered: "I'm waiting, the god of the big brother's worship, throw me out of the view." If he has this temperament, I will not come from now on. After speaking, he blew lightly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, very comfortable.
"You ......" Jia Jing blushed and had a thick neck, pointing at Jia Min before he could speak.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." With a shout, the old Taoist priest in a dark Taoist robe slowly came out, "Madame has no wisdom, so don't mistake yourself anymore and leave quickly." ”
"If I don't leave, these three Qingdao Venerables can still rain down the Purple Night Divine Thunder and slash me." Jia Min made up his mind today, even if he was tied up, he would tie Jia Jing back. She raised her eyes to look at the old Taoist priest with a childish face, and suddenly smiled, "At that time, I really brought someone here, just to try the Taoist method." After speaking, she glanced at the old Taoist priest and Jia Jing with a smile, and held the girl's hand out.
The old Taoist priest and Jia Jing were so laughed by her that the hairs on their backs stood on end, and bursts of cool air came out of their bones. The two looked at each other, why did they suddenly feel so uneasy! (To be continued......)
