Chapter 219: Seeing Mother
When Jia Ke saw several younger sisters, he asked Jia's mother again, "What are the sisters reading now?" ”
Jia Mu said indifferently: "What books can you read, it's just to know a few words, don't be blind." ”
After listening to Jia's mother's words, Jia Ke felt a little uncomfortable, the talents of these sisters in Jia's mansion were several times better than Jia Baoyu, no one taught, they just learned by themselves, and they surpassed Jia Baoyu in poetry and painting. If someone teaches, I'm afraid they are all well-known talented women.
Jia Ke can't say much about the affairs of the inner house, after all, this is Jia's mother's one-acre and three-point land, and she manages too much, and everyone looks bad.
But Jia Ke still felt that he had to remind Jia's mother, "Old lady, I see that several younger sisters are all very intelligent, and they are stronger than other girls, and they don't know where to go." According to my meaning, it is better to invite a female gentleman to teach at home for them, and it will be good for them to have a reputation as a talented woman in the future. ”
I want to know that Jia Mu doesn't take this matter to heart, but just perfunctorily Jia Ke said, "I'll take a look at it, what's the urgency about this matter." ”
Jia Ke had no choice but to change the topic and refocus on Jia Baoyu, "Old lady, I think Baoyu is really well raised by the old lady's side, if others don't know what it will become." The aura on his body is gone. ”
Jia's mother listened to Jia Ke and was very satisfied with Jia Baoyu's teachings, although she felt a little pity in her heart, but she was also complacent. Although Jia Baoyu will most likely fail to participate in the imperial examination in the future, the spirituality of writing poetry is something that others do not have. At a young age, he was already able to write poems with others and answer them correctly. Such a talent, Jia Mu has lived for so many years and has never seen it.
In Jia's mother's opinion, Jia Baoyu's talent is ten times better than Jia Zhulai, but in order for the Jia family not to be jealous of the emperor, Jia Baoyu can only mess around in the back house. Otherwise, if you carefully teach the two Jinshi in the future, there will be no problem.
Jia Ke chatted with Jia's mother for a few more words, and then got up to say goodbye, Jia's mother knew that he hadn't gone to see Aunt Zhou yet, so she didn't do much to keep it.
Jia Ke left Jia's mother's courtyard and passed through Rongxi Hall, and came to Jia Zheng's courtyard, in the easternmost part, there are several exquisite courtyards, one of which is the most luxurious carved beam painting building, which is Aunt Zhou's residence.
Although Aunt Zhou's current status is not as good as that of Mrs. Wang, after all, she gave birth to a promising son, and as the biological mother of Wuyang Hou, the treatment she deserves is not bad at all. To be honest, many of the furnishings in the house where Aunt Zhou lived, not even in Mrs. Wang's house.
It's not that Aunt Zhou's treatment exceeds that of Mrs. Wang, but that Mrs. Wang herself advocates simplicity, and Jia Zheng doesn't like extravagance and waste, so Mrs. Wang doesn't like those exquisite things in the room. As for why Mrs. Wang put so many good things in Aunt Zhou's room, it is the opinion of the benevolent and the wise.
As soon as Jia Ke arrived at the gate of the compound, she saw Xia Mai there with a bullet to probe her brain, and as soon as she saw Jia Ke coming, it was like shouting in the house: "Uncle is back." ”
Immediately afterwards, four or five maids poured out of the door. Among them, Xia Mai was the leader, and came to Jia Ke's side and saluted him together.
Jia Ke took a closer look at these maids, all of them had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and their bodies were graceful, some of them did not look like maids who served people, but they were somewhat similar to Aunt Zhao. Jia Ke is also rolling in the officialdom now, and he naturally knows these little tricks, so he laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.
Jia Ke saw that they were blocking the way under the leadership of Xia Mai, which was robbed by blocking the road, so he reluctantly took out a dozen little golden beans from the purse beside him and handed them to Xia Mai, "Here you are, among so many maids, only you can come up with such an idea." ”
Xia Maimei smiled and saw Jin Douzi, and then said to Jia Ke flatteringly: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, and my legs are numb when I stand here." Your current dignified grandfather, such a big official, still cares about our little money. ”
Jia Ke only felt that she was becoming more and more sharp now, not as cute as when he left, Xia Mai was still small when he left, and was turned around by Chuncao's command. At that time, she was cute.
At this moment, Aunt Zhou also walked out of the house, and when she saw Jia Ke, she hurried a few steps and came to Jia Ke, and tears fell before she could speak.
When Jia Ke saw Aunt Zhou, he hurriedly took off his robe and knelt on the ground, and when he moved, the iron armor on his body rattled. Jia Ke knelt in front of Aunt Zhou and said excitedly, "Auntie, my son is back." ”
Aunt Zhou stepped forward, hugged him in her arms and cried silently. Jia Ke is now a twenty-year-old young man, although Aunt Zhou is his biological mother, this feeling is still very embarrassing, so he glanced at Xia Mai next to him.
Xia Mai had just received Jia Ke's reward, and he was still very discerning at this time. immediately stepped forward to comfort Aunt Zhou, "Auntie, now that the uncle is back, we should be happy, but don't cry, let people hear the joke." ”
Under the persuasion of Jia Ke and Xia Mai, Aunt Zhou finally gradually put away her grief, turned around and reprimanded Xia Mai: "Who dares to laugh at me, now I don't laugh at others, they will laugh secretly." After saying this, he laughed first.
After that, Jia Ke helped Aunt Zhou into the main room. Jia Ke asked Aunt Zhou to sit in the center again, and she came to Aunt Zhou to bow again, but this time she changed her name, "Mother is above, and the child is courteous here." ”
When Aunt Zhou heard Jia Ke's title, tears flowed out again. Although she and Jia Ke are mother and son, they cannot be commensurate with mother and son. It's called that in private, and it can only be when no one is around.
Jia Ke stood up after paying homage, then sat next to Aunt Zhou again, and asked, "Auntie is in good health during this time?" , what is the shortage although I told me, the son is now different from what it used to be. ”
"What shortage can I have, I can't eat and drink every day, and I have maids waiting for me, and now as long as I can hold my grandson, I will die and be satisfied." Aunt Zhou still has a lot of complaints about Jia Ke who has not been married yet.
"Auntie, isn't this me running around and not having time to come back to get married, once I come back, I will leave a few days late, and then go back to Xuanfu Town after getting married. Auntie, do you think so? Jia Ke also felt that he should get married, otherwise the three in Xuanfu Town would not be able to have children until now, and Jia Ke also felt that he was a little sorry for them.
Aunt Zhou turned her worries into joy when she heard Jia Ke say this, and said happily to Jia Ke: "I have seen the girl of the Qin family once, she is really good-looking." Only such a woman can be worthy of my son. ”
Jia Ke was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Where has my aunt seen it?" ”
"A few days ago, I went to Guangji Temple with my wife to worship the Buddha on incense, and I happened to meet Miss Qin in the temple who also made incense. At first, I didn't know what was going on, but my wife reminded me that I knew that this was your daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door. Aunt Zhou said with emotion.
Jia Ke thought in his heart that this was probably not a coincidence, it should be arranged by the two families, so that the daughter-in-law who had not passed through the door could meet with her mother-in-law, and Aunt Zhou, as Jia Ke's biological mother, would naturally arrange to go together.
It seems that this meeting, both sides got along very happily, and there was no friction. However, in Jia Ke's mind, this is also normal, thinking that Qin Keqing has put Ning Guofu up and down in order in the dream of Red Mansions, and no one from top to bottom says that she is not good. How can such a delicate mind leave a bad impression on others?
When the mother and son were talking, they heard someone shouting outside, "Aunt Zhou is not there?" Come out quickly, Madame will let me pass on to you. The tone was very impatient.
When Jia Ke heard her shout, he was a little angry in his heart, what is the identity of this little girl? Even though she shouted at Aunt Zhou like this, she didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha. Anyway, she is also Jia Ke's biological mother.
"Xia Mai, go out and take a look, where did the slave come from so ignorant of the rules, don't you know that I am sitting in the house?" Jia Ke can't use Aunt Zhou as an excuse, because she is still a concubine no matter what, and it is not rude for Mrs. Wang's maid to speak to her like this.
But if this maid talks to him Jia Ke like this, it will be a big mistake, Jia Ke's current identity is not trivial, let alone a little maid, the only people in the whole house can talk to him so unceremoniously, only Jia Mu and Jia Zheng. Although Mrs. Wang is nominally his mother, after all, there is a layer of separation, and if Jia Ke is insignificant, then it's okay. But Jia Ke is now the Marquis of Wuyang, and even Mrs. Wang can't be underestimated.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help but be nervous when she saw Jia Ke asking Xia Mai to go out to reprimand Mrs. Wang's maid, so she persuaded Jia Ke: "Big brother, don't make trouble, no matter how she is, she is also Madame's maid, and besides, she didn't say anything wrong." ”
Jia Ke smiled and comforted Aunt Zhou: "Auntie don't worry, it's just a little girl." Could it be that Madame still fell out with my dignified Wuyang Marquis because of her? ”
Xia Mai was ignored by Mrs. Wang's maid on weekdays, and she was already angry. At this time, I got Jia Ke's order, and immediately rushed out of the house, and came to the eaves to take a closer look, it turned out to be Mrs. Wang's new personal maid Jin Chuan, this little girl is only ten years old, but she is smart and well-behaved, and she is quite loved by Mrs. Wang, but she is arrogant to others, and she only has Mrs. Wang in her heart, and she does not put Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhao in her eyes.
Xia Mai saw that it was Jin Chuan, and said with a sneer: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be you, and I thought that apart from you, no one else had such courage. Don't you know what this place is? It's so rude. Beware of annoying our master, pull you out with a random boy, and you will cry when the time comes. ”
Jin Chuan couldn't help but be angry when she saw Xia Mai, who she usually looked down on, and dared to contradict her like this, and said something about being a kid, she was also a pungent character, so she was about to scold. It's just that a little girl next to her generally stopped her, and then said to Xia Mai in a low voice: "Sister Xia Mai, my sister lost a few pennies in gambling today, and she was not happy, so her tone was a little bad, please forgive me." ”
Xia Mai glanced at the little girl next to her, and couldn't help but secretly scream in her heart, she wanted to rely on Jia Ke to make a big fuss and vent her anger, but she didn't expect to be seen by the little girl next to her. The person next to her is Jin Chuan's sister Yu Chuan, this Yu Chuan is not as favored as Jin Chuan, but her wit surpasses Jin Chuan.
When she entered the hospital just now, she faintly heard a man's voice in the house. In addition to Jia Zheng, the only person who can enter Aunt Zhou's house in this deep mansion compound is Aunt Zhou's biological son, Jia Ke, the eldest son who has been crowned a marquis.
Since the uncle is in the house, then my sister's unkind tone just now must have annoyed the uncle, if he is really angry, he will definitely match his sister with a random boy, and Mrs. Wang will not completely fall out with the uncle because of her sister. Even if it is a falling out, according to the uncle's current title, just find a reason for the people in the house to be the uncle and give their sisters a good look.
