Twenty or thirty miles away from Shengjing City, there is a village family, and the man's name is Wang Gou'er.

Because the cold autumn is coming to an end, but the family has not done winter affairs, this king dog is inevitably depressed. After eating a few glasses of wine, he was at home and his wife Liu was looking for leisure.

Liu's mother, Grandma Liu, is an old widow who has no children and grandchildren to support, and is taken to her home by her son-in-law Gou'er to take care of her grandson and granddaughter.

She saw that the dog was uncomfortable because of the short chewing at home, so she said: "When your grandfather was there that day, he was connected with the Jinling royal family. Twenty years ago, they saw that you were naturally fine, but now you are hard and refuse to get close, so they are estranged.

I think that at the beginning, my daughter and I also went to their house, and the second lady of their family was really loud, would treat people, and would not take a big deal. Now that I am the wife of the second master of Rongguo Mansion, I heard that she cherishes the old and the poor more and more, and loves the monks and monks the most, and gives money and rice.

Now that the palace has been promoted, I'm afraid that these two aunts and grandmothers still recognize us, why don't you go and walk around? Maybe she misses the old, and some of the benefits are unknown. If she is a little kind, people like them will pluck a hair and be thicker than our waist! ”

The dog was very moved when he heard this, but he couldn't give up his face to do such a thing of begging for mercy and fighting the autumn wind, and after a long speech, he finally said that he moved his mother-in-law and took his grandson Ban'er to go through this experience.

Zhou Rui, the housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion, was Mrs. Wang's companion, and he had dealt with Wang Gou'er and his son in the early years, so after Grandma Liu entered the city and arrived at Jiafu, she went to find Zhou Rui first.

Zhou Rui was not at home, and her mother-in-law Zhou Rui's family received her. After fulfilling her intentions, Zhou Rui's family was not easy to refuse, and secondly, in order to show her dignity in Rongguo Mansion, he took her into Rongguo Mansion and went back to Mrs. Wang in person.

After a long time, Zhou Rui's family came back and told that Mrs. Wang was unwell and it was inconvenient to meet guests, and said that he had instructed Lian's second grandmother to receive him on his behalf. So Zhou Rui's family told her how shrewd and capable the second grandmother of Lian was, and she was handling all the big and small things in the family to listen to Grandma Liu, and Grandma Liu took the board to follow Zhou Rui's family to Sister Feng's courtyard happily.

With a nervous mood, Grandma Liu followed Zhou Rui's family into a mansion like a painting of Zhu Lou, bypassed the large interstitial, entered the door, and faced a young and beautiful woman.

Grandma Liu saw that she was covered in silk, with gold and silver, and her appearance of flowers and moons, and her behavior was very different from the other women she had seen along the way, so she thought that this was "Second Grandma Lian", so she bowed her head and bowed:

"I've seen my aunt and grandmother, please be safe from my aunt."

Zhou Rui and the woman laughed, the woman bowed her waist to help her up, and Zhou Rui's family smiled: "This is Ping'er Ping's girl in grandma's house." ”

Grandma Liu knew that she was just a decent maid, so she smiled.

Ping'er Yin said to Zhou Rui's family: "Here you accompany your grandmother first, and the second grandmother will come down in a while." ”

Zhou Rui's family hurriedly asked, "What is Miss Ping going to do?" ”

"Hey, it's not our second master, since he set up a private school, he seems to have completely changed as if he was a different person, he went to school on time every day, that serious momentum, not only the old man liked it, but even the old lady and his wife listened to it, as if they were happy or something.

No, it's about to be winter, and my wife is afraid that it will be cold in school, so she asked the second grandmother to send two baskets of high-quality silver frost charcoal to the school. The second grandmother is not idle, so she just ordered me to open the warehouse and send it over there. ”

Grandma Liu was familiar with Zhou Rui's family, and Du Ping'er was an easy-going person, so she smiled when she heard this: "I'm obedient, I started burning charcoal in the house at this season?" In what year do we not wait until the coldest days to take a brazier to roast a fire, and where there is any gold and silver frost, but just some charcoal, when it is burned, the smoke and fire are nothing, and sometimes the black smoke that burns all over the house is not even seen.

I thought to myself, "A house like yours will have to burn all the gold and silver, and it will not be burned out, as we do." ”

Both of the Zhou Rui family laughed.

After Ping'er left, Grandma Liu asked Zhou Rui's family again: "What did you just say about Brother Bao'er, and why does his wife like him so much?" ”

Zhou Ruijia said with a smile: "Speaking of him, even if you give me two or three days of hard work, I may not finish telling you." You only need to remember that if you have the opportunity to see him, enter his eyes, let him say a good word to you in front of the old lady and his wife, and keep your benefits. ”

Grandma Liu was even more curious, and when she wanted to ask again, she listened to the voice of the maid outside: "Grandma is down!" ”

She was busy.

......

Besides, Ping'er personally asked the little servants to carry two baskets of silver frost charcoal to the school's mothers-in-law who handed them over to the housekeepers, and told them to serve them well, change them on time, and then go out of the backyard.

was walking back, only to see two young men, one big and one small, coming out of the gate of the school. The big one has a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, eyebrows like a sword, and eyes like stars. The youngest one was only eight or nine years old, wearing a small purple-gold fluffy cloak, which was also clean and clean, and his face was white and red, looking like a pink ball.

It was Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan who were studying in school.

Both of them also saw her and came over to greet her, "Sister Ping'er." ”

Ping'er smiled: "Second Master Bao and Brother Lan have both left school? Why didn't you see the third master of the ring? ”

Jia Lan was young and didn't have much of a city government, so when he heard it, he grinned and said, "The third uncle was caught by Mr. when he dozed off in class, and left him to copy the Analects in the school." ”

Ping'er smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Lan must have listened carefully in school and was not punished by Mr. ”

Jia Lan's face suddenly turned red: "I have also been punished twice......"

"Giggles." Maybe it's because Jia Lan's well-behaved little Zhengtai is easy to amuse the young woman's love, and Ping'er smiles very brightly.

It was only when she raised her eyes and saw Jia Baoyu staring at her that she relented.

Jia Lan usually doesn't stay outside for too long after school, so seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't mean to leave immediately, he said goodbye first.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to bow to Jia Baoyu respectfully.

Ping'er saw that Jia Baoyu's face was entangled, so he asked the reason, Jia Baoyu said: "Lan'er, this kid, is a one-eyed kid at a young age, goes to school every day, plus an hour of lunch break, I have to meet him at least twice, don't do it twice, every time, he has to give me a big gift, he is not tired, I am tired." ”

Ping'er said with a smile: "This is a good teaching by the eldest grandmother, who taught Lan Ge'er to be so polite and sensible." ”

"To be sensible is to be sensible, that is, to be like a primary school."

The school is in the east of Rongguo Mansion, and Sister Feng's Courtyard and Jia's Mother Courtyard are both in the west, so Jia Baoyu and Ping'er are on the same road.

The two walked and talked.

Ping'er is Wang Xifeng's roommate, because the two families are close, Wang Xifeng often took Ping'er to Rongguo Mansion to play when he was a child, so he is also very familiar with Jia Baoyu since he was a child.

Because of this, she has a particularly deep feeling about Jia Baoyu's changes in the past six months.

From a boy who doesn't know the world and loves to mix in the girls' pile, he has become a motivated and studious young man.

Even, from Jia Baoyu, she can still feel a kind of maturity and practice that should not be there......

Not only her, in the past six months, the most mentioned in the Manfu is the change in Jia Baoyu, although from Mrs. Jia Muwang and others, they are all happy about this change in Jia Baoyu, but there are still many people, including her and their grandmother, are very curious why Jia Baoyu has such a drastic change?

Is it really because of that serious illness half a year ago?

Xu is Ping'er's successive tilts of the head attracted Jia Baoyu's attention, and Jia Baoyu asked with a smile: "Sister Ping'er looks at me like this, but what do you have to ask me?" Sister Ping'er said it directly. ”

Ping'er came back to her senses and hurriedly covered up: "It's nothing, I just want to ask what Second Master Bao has learned in the school recently." ”

"What did you learn?"

Jia Baoyu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I am learning a poem, I think it is very beautiful, but I don't understand its meaning, I don't know if Sister Ping'er may analyze and explain a thing or two for me?" ”

Ping'er frowned, although she is smart, she is Wang Xifeng's maid, how much text and ink can she have? It's just ordinary words that can be recognized.

Jia Baoyu came to ask her?

She didn't think that Jia Baoyu was deliberately making fun of her, and thought that Jia Baoyu didn't know her cultural level yet.

Without waiting for her to think about it too much, Jia Baoyu already smiled and said: "Today's Mr. teaches one of the poems - Pu Jia. The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are ...... on the water side"

Ping'er stopped abruptly and looked back at Jia Baoyu, her eyes bright.

Even though she doesn't read, but she works as a maid in a big family, she has seen and heard a lot of drama stories, like this poem that is essential for talented and beautiful women, how can she not know?

For the first time, she felt that she was being molested.

However, the person in front of him is Bao Erye, and besides, how old is he?

Looking at Jia Baoyu's indifferent look, and her eyes that were not ashamed in the face of her gaze, Ping'er said in her heart: Maybe she thought too much.

"Second Master Bao, this can be regarded as asking the wrong person, how do I know this, you can go and ask the third girl, they may know."

Ping'er deliberately mentioned Tanchun and the others, and paid attention to Jia Baoyu's reaction.

Jia Baoyu smiled faintly and said with regret: "Since this is the case, I will ask the third sister when I go back." ”

When Ping'er heard this, she let go of her suspicions.

When he arrived outside Wang Xifeng's courtyard gate, Jia Baoyu looked inside and said, "I remember that the second sister-in-law of Lian was going to take a nap at this time, why are you still so noisy today?" ”

Ping'er said: "A relative of the wife's mother's family came, and the second grandmother is receiving it." ”

"Relatives?"

Jia Baoyu was thinking, since it was a relative of Mrs. Wang, it was naturally also his relative.

"Well, it's an elderly person, called Grandma Liu."

"Grandma Liu?"

Jia Baoyu paused for a moment, and after thinking about it, he decided to go in and take a look.

Hehe, later generations will use "Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden" to describe people who have never seen the world to come to the novel world of flowers, today, he has such a mentality, to see Grandma Liu......
