Chapter 488: Grandma Liu Enters the Grand View Garden [Form 2]
Jia Baoyu's emotions have always come and gone quickly.
No, I just poured a few cups of yellow soup with Sun Shaozong, chatted with some anecdotes inside and outside the capital, and then left my sorrow behind.
Chengxing took a few articles to Sun Shaozong, and proudly said that he had anonymously asked his master to see it, saying that it might be a little difficult to get a lifter, but it was easy to win the fame of a showman.
"Second brother, when I win the show next year, don't forget to promise me something!"
The position of this master, Liu Xianglian excused herself repeatedly, but Jia Baoyu never forgot it.
But this is normal, after all, Sun Shaozong asked Liu Xianglian to go, it was a serious errand, but Jia Baoyu just planned to put on a name and start the detective journey in a good name.
The purpose is different, and the level of expectation is naturally very different.
Sun Shaozong smiled, and was waiting for him not to be ashamed of his words, lest he fall off the list when he got it, and he couldn't find the tone of crying, when he suddenly saw the attacker leading a little maid in, and said crisply: "The ancestor sent someone to invite the master and sisters to meet the guests." β
"Guest?"
Jia Baoyu wondered: "What kind of guest, do you want to call all the big guys?" β
At this time, the little maid who followed up interjected with a smile: "It's an old lady from the countryside, what is her name Grandma Liu, it seems that she has some relatives with the second grandmother - I don't know how she voted for the temper of the ancestors, saying that the brothers and sisters have not paid attention to the people's suffering, so they might as well shout to see for a long time." β
Hearing that it was an old lady from the countryside, Jia Baoyu couldn't help but pursed her mouth and said: "If I want to know what kind of people's suffering, ask Second Brother Sun, isn't it just a parental official, and I need to listen to a village woman talk about it?" β
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeves: "When you go back to report to your grandmother, you will say that I also have important guests to entertain here, so I won't go over to join in the fun." β
The little maid agreed and retreated with Qingwen.
Jia Baoyu brought up the matter of the imperial examination again, and even said that he had been reading poetry and books hard recently, and he was about to become a book beetle, if he hadn't thought that he could go to the scene with Sun Shaozong to solve the case, I was afraid that he would have been impatient.
It's just that he said it, but he found that Sun Shaozong was a little absent-minded, and couldn't help but wonder: "Second brother, how did you get this?" Don't you have something on your mind? β
"Uh......"
Sun Shaozong came to his senses at this time, and hurriedly covered up: "It's nothing, it's just that when I heard you talk about solving cases, I remembered a few unsolved cases in the yamen, and I was a little distracted for a while." β
Jia Baoyu was relieved, but he knew that the reason why Sun Shaozong didn't belong was actually thinking about Grandma Liu.
To say that before the crossing, the characters in the entire Dream of Red Mansions, he was most familiar with this Grandma Liu - after all, the saying 'Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden' was heard since he was a child.
At this time, when he first heard the background story in this 'common saying', it was vividly displayed in front of him, and Sun Shaozong didn't feel a little dreamlike for a while.
However, Jia Baoyu heard that there were several unsolved cases in the palace, and he immediately felt itchy and pestered Sun Shaozong to ask what was going on.
Sun Shaozong had no choice but to cheer up and pick up the one that could be said without hurting his stomach, and used it to dispel his curiosity.
Just as he was talking about the county government finding a headless female corpse, but jumping out of the case claimed by the two families, he saw that the little maid turned back again, stepped forward and said: "Second Master Bao, the ancestor heard that Lord Sun was here with you, so he asked the slave maid to invite him to talk together with Lord Sun - he also said that they were all relatives, and there was nothing to avoid in front of the old man." β
Jia Baoyu was still a little reluctant when he heard this, but Sun Shaozong couldn't wait to see what kind of character this legendary 'Grandma Liu' was.
So he got up and pretended to ask: "I don't know my sister-in-law, but where is the old lady?" β
"It's here, it's here!"
The little maid nodded hurriedly: "My aunt and grandmother came out of the big old man's courtyard and went to the ancestor to ask for peace, and now she is gossiping with Miss Bao, Miss Shi and others in the blue yarn cupboard." β
"That being the case."
Sun Shaozong turned around and said seriously: "I should indeed go over and take a look, after all, my sister-in-law is the first time to go back to her parents' house after being happy. β
When Jia Baoyu heard this, he had to get up and go to Jia's mother with him.
Nothing to say all the way...
But when she came to Jia's mother's house, after coming forward to greet her, she never saw the legendary Grandma Liu, Baoyu swept her mouth and listened, only to know that she was led by Ping'er to take a bath and change clothes, and now she is about to come back.
As she was talking, Jia Yingchun came out of the blue yarn cupboard and met Sun Shaozong, and Sun Shaozong told her a few words as a little brother-in-law, telling her to take care of herself.
In fact, before coming, Sun Shaozong also secretly explained this, and now he mentioned it again in front of others, which made Jia Yingchun feel a little ashamed, but fortunately, she has been a housewife for half a year, and now she has made great progress, so she can cover up the past.
At this time, Wang Xifeng also came out of it and joked with a smile: "When I said it just now, you still stopped me directly, what's wrong now?" Don't say it's my aunt who is worried about it, even the little uncle is afraid that you will bump into it in our house, isn't this just a baby! β
There is nothing else to say this, but the speaker has no intention of listening, Jia Yingchun's heart jumped, his red head and face hung down, and he buried it in his chest that was getting stronger and stronger.
Sun Shaozong was afraid that someone would see the flaws, so he hurriedly laughed and said: "What the second sister-in-law said is true, my brother is nearly forty years old, and it was not easy to get this child, so it is naturally very expensive." β
Wang Xifeng giggled, a pair of Danfeng eyes were rolling around, but he was thinking about how to support others and ask Sun Shaozong for the dividend.
It's just that before she could come up with an idea, Ping'er outside the door had already led Grandma Liu in.
But I saw that the old lady was wearing silk and satin, and she couldn't even walk on the road, and she grinned and showed a mouth full of yellow teeth, and said: "It's broken, it's really broken, the old woman is a cheap bone, so she can wear such good clothes?" β
"Isn't that garment for people to wear? As long as it fits, it doesn't break the bank! β
Mother Jia greeted her to the front with a smile, and called Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai and others to come out and meet this Grandma Liu one by one.
Every time she talked about someone, Grandma Liu bowed again and again, and said something like "fairy descends to earth" and "fairy reincarnation", which made everyone laugh again and again.
After the introduction of Miss Gongzi in Rongguo Mansion, Mother Jia pointed to Sun Shaozong and said: "This is the brother of our aunt, and now he is in the Shuntian Mansion, and his name is Sun Shaozong, I think you should have heard of his name." β
Although Grandma Liu didn't know what Zhizhong was, when she heard the word 'Sun Shaozong', her eyes suddenly widened, and she was about to kneel in front of Sun Shaozong.
Sun Shaozong's hands were quick, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, and said with a smile: "Now that it's not in the court, Sun doesn't dare to kneel as an old man." β
"Deserved, deserved!"
was held by Sun Shaozong's shoulders, and Grandma Liu's hands and feet trembled with excitement: "The name of Master Sun of Qingtian, I don't know which one I don't know?!" It is said that you are always the reincarnation of Bao Longtu, and you will also be the king of Yama in the future, but I can't think of it...... I didn't expect it to be a relative in this house! β
Hearing her talk about the rumors that Sun Shaozong would be the king of Yama in the future, the hall couldn't help but laugh again.
Sun Shaozong didn't feel it, he was a master who had seen it, and he wouldn't think this old lady was vulgar, so he personally helped her to sit in the lower position, and bluffed Grandma Liu even called 'I can't do it'.
Others just watched the excitement, but Jia's mother looked at a few small ones, and they all 'respected' this Grandma Liu and stayed away, but Sun Shaozong treated her enthusiastically, and there was no appearance of a rich and noble family.
She couldn't help but sigh a few times secretly, looking forward to Jia Yuanchun's ability to get a man in the palace.
But said that Grandma Liu sat down nervously, and answered a few words with Jia's mother, and then she recovered some of her spirits, searched her intestines and picked up the interesting, and said it in the language of the lower riba people.
How could Jia Baoyu and the others have ever heard these words?
I felt that it was better than the books that Mr. Blind said, and I only smiled forward and backward, forgetting the initial impatience.
However, Sun Shaozong listened to the old lady's words in a clear manner, and when she talked about the world's heart, she also had a faint opinion, which was by no means vulgar and unbearable on the surface, and knew that she was deliberately hiding it in order to behave in front of others, but she did not break it, just laughed and enjoyed with everyone.
Although Grandma Liu is a village savage, she was born with some knowledge, and she is old, and she has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world.
Because he said: "Every day in our village, spring, summer, autumn and winter, in the wind and rain, there is an empty space to sit, and every day we make a pavilion on the head of the land, and I have never seen anything strange." β
"It's like last winter, when it snowed for several days in a row, and the ground was three or four feet deep. I got up early that day, and before I even left the house, I heard the sound of firewood and grass outsideβI thought that someone must have stolen firewood and grass, and I peeked through the window, but it was not from our village. β
Jia Mu said: "It must be that the guests passing by are cold, and when they see the ready-made firewood, they can take some and take it back to roast the fire." β
Grandma Liu smiled: "It's not a guest, so it's strange, what kind of person is the old birthday star?" But it turned out to be a little girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a smooth hair, a big red jacket, and a white silk skirtβ"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly heard people outside shouting, and said, "It's irrelevant, don't bluff the old lady." β
When Jia Mu and the others heard this, they hurriedly called someone to come in and inquire about it.
I heard a maid reply: "There is water in the stable in the south courtyard, it is irrelevant, and it has been saved." β
Jia Mu was the most timid, and when she heard this, she hurriedly got up and helped people out of the corridor to look, only to see that the fire in the southeast was still bright,
Mother Jia bluffed the Buddha in her mouth, and hurriedly ordered people to go to the god of fire to burn incense.
At this time, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing also rushed over, comforted Mother Jia and said that the fire had been saved, and asked the old lady to go back to the house and sit.
Jia Mu waited until the fire was completely extinguished, and then she helped the maid and walked in one by one.
Everyone followed the fish in, and Sun Shaozong was about to follow up, when he suddenly saw Mrs. Wang fold out of it again, and her face was embarrassed.
Sun Shaozongqi said: "What does my aunt have to explain? β
Mrs. Wang sneered: "I shouldn't have bothered the virtuous nephew, but the fire was a little strange, and I caught up with the virtuous nephew who happened to be a guest at my house......"
"Sure enough, there's something wrong!"
Before the words fell, Jia Baoyu came out with a curtain and said excitedly: "Some little things, why not second brother Lao?" Son, let's go check and find out! β
