Chapter 220: Together
Xia Mai saw that the other party was soft, so he didn't pursue it too much. just asked angrily: "It's the same if you tell me something, our aunt is having something to do now, and I don't have time to take care of you." ”
Jin Chuan heard Xia Mai's words, and was about to argue angrily, but Yu Chuan grabbed her wrist next to her and pulled her behind him. Jin Chuan seemed to understand something at this time, glanced into the room, and stopped talking.
Yu Chuan dragged his sister and smiled hard, "There's nothing urgent, it's just that the master ordered it." We want to have a reunion dinner together tonight, let's inform my aunt, and if the uncle is here, I will tell you again. ”
"I know, I'll tell my aunt and uncle in a while, you can go back when it's okay, don't keep pestle here, what do you look like." Xia Mai said to them with his head held high.
Yu Chuan still smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then let's go first." I'm going to tell Aunt Zhao in a while, and let her go with Brother Huan'er. ”
Xia Mai didn't want to listen to what they had to say, so he waved his hand at them and told them to hurry away.
Yu Chuan and Jin Chuan then withdrew from Aunt Zhou's yard, and didn't walk a few steps out of Aunt Zhou's yard, Jin Chuan said fiercely: "Why did you stop me just now?" Isn't it the same as those minions who climb high and step on the bottom? I want to climb the high branches of the uncle. ”
Yu Chuan simply had nothing to say, this sister's foolish loyalty to Mrs. Wang had reached the point of no return. Did she really think that she could fight against her uncle, and Yu Chuan didn't want to pay attention to herself and walked forward alone.
Although Jin Chuan said a few angry words, he still knew that his sister was for his own good, so he hurriedly stepped forward and walked a few steps to catch up with Yu Chuan, being careful that he didn't know: "What my sister said just now is angry, sister, don't be angry, when the monthly money is paid this month, I will buy you the latest rouge." ”
"Whoever wants your rouge, you better keep it for yourself, otherwise the third master will come and eat." Yu Chuan is not really angry, but there is really no way to be shrewd and confused about his sister for a while.
When Jin Chuan heard his sister say that Bao Sanye ate his own rouge, his face was as red as an apple. Hurriedly left his sister behind and ran forward first.
Yu Chuan has no choice but to deal with this sister, and she is now bent on currying favor with Mrs. Wang, so that Mrs. Wang can arrange her in Jia Baoyu's room. Nothing else is taken care of.
But Yu Chuan seems that this is completely impossible, everything in Jia Baoyu is handled by Jia Baoyu's mother, and a maid is arranged for him, if Jia Mu does not nod, no one can enter Jia Baoyu's room.
But the unsightly deeds made by my sister and Jia Baoyu, once people find out, I am afraid that they will either be matched with a boy or sold. Nothing ends well. Yu Chuan was heartbroken for her sister, and she covered it up several times when she was by her side.
Xia Mai saw that the two sisters were gone, so she re-entered the house, and after entering the house, she faced Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou and said, "Auntie, uncle, just now the wife's maid came to spread the word, the master is going to set up a family banquet tonight, saying that they want everyone to have a reunion dinner together, and they are here to tell the uncle and aunt." ”
Jia Ke nodded, and then said: "Father is going to pick up the wind and wash the dust for me, then let's prepare early, don't go too late, let others think that I have some small achievements, and look down on others." ”
"What you said is very true, let's go now, go early, so that we can say goodbye to Mrs. and Master." Aunt Zhou said approvingly.
Jia Ke smiled and said to Aunt Zhou: "Don't be in such a hurry, let me change my clothes, otherwise what will it be like to wear this armor to the banquet?" ”
Aunt Zhou saw that Jia Ke was still wearing a helmet and crown armor, and she laughed when she saw this: "When I said how I helped you just now, I felt that it was hard, and I didn't notice that you were still wearing this thing." ”
Xia Mai covered her mouth next to her and snickered, "When my aunt sees the uncle, she doesn't care about anything else, as long as it's a big living person, she doesn't care about anything." ”
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou glared at Xia Mai, "What are you still doing here?" Why don't you hurry up and prepare bath water for your uncle, so that he can bathe and change clothes. ”
Xia Mai was startled by Aunt Zhou and hurriedly ran out. As a result, I just got out of the house and came back.
"Why are you back again, lazy like this, what will you do in the future?" Zhou Niniang thought that Xia Mai had arranged things for the other little maids.
Xia Mai heard that Aunt Zhou had wronged her, so she could only pout, "I want to do this by myself." But there is something I want to tell my aunt, the uncle's clothes in our family are already small, and now the uncle will change them. ”
Aunt Zhou also felt a little troubled when she heard this, Jia Ke has been away from home for five or six years, and has grown from a little boy of fifteen or sixteen to a young man of twenty-one or twelve. Where is the clothes at home that fit him?
Jia Ke saw them embarrassed next to him, so he smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, when I came back this time, Qiaolian and the others prepared some clothes for me." I was in a hurry just now, and I was still there with my own soldiers. You send someone to say to Steward Lin, and they will be delivered in a while. ”
Aunt Zhou was relieved, and now when she heard him mention Qiaolian, she remembered her niece again, she hadn't seen her for so many years, and now she doesn't know what the scene is.
"Qiaolian and Chuncao, are they okay?"
"Auntie, don't worry, they're fine now. I have now taken them in, and they are also aunts in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, and they are not in charge of it, so I don't know how comfortable they are. Jia Ke briefly explained the situation of Chuncao and Xia Mai to Aunt Zhou.
After listening to Jia Ke's words, the smile on Aunt Zhou's face became even brighter, and now their Zhou family has hope. With Jia Ke taking care of him, his brother has no worries in his life.
Aunt Zhou was squinting when she was happy, and Xia Mai was still standing there. There was a glint of envy in his eyes.
"What are you doing there? Didn't you hear what your uncle said? Why don't you hurry up and go to Steward Lin and bring back your uncle's change of clothes. Aunt Zhou said to this maid a little angrily.
Xia Mai reacted and ran outside, and stopped outside, the envy for Qiao Lian and the others in his heart did not weaken at all, but became stronger.
After a while, Xia Mai entered the room again and reported to Jia Ke and Aunt Zhou: "Uncle, the bath water has been boiled, when will you take a bath?" ”
Jia Ke saw that it was not early, so he said to Aunt Zhou: "Auntie, I'll go and clean up first, and then let's go to the banquet together in a while." ”
"Go quickly, don't delay your father's talk." Aunt Zhou is still very afraid of Jia Zheng, and she has always listened to Jia Zheng's words as a holy decree.
Jia Ke went out of the room, led by Xia Mai to the bathroom, and then drove the maids out. He didn't want to make a fuss just after returning to Jiafu.
Soon Jia Ke finished bathing, and then put on the home clothes that Qiaolian and the others had prepared for themselves. Only then did I get out of the bathroom and come back to Aunt Zhou's room.
Aunt Zhou saw that Jia Ke had finished bathing and changing, and was looking at his clothes, all of which were made of brocade, and it seemed that he was really doing well as he just said.
"It's not early, let's go quickly, otherwise your father will be waiting for a long time, and we won't be able to talk." Aunt Zhou saw that Jia Ke had finished bathing and changing. I wanted to urge Jia Ke to go to the room to see Jia Zheng first.
Jia Ke naturally wouldn't refute her, so the two didn't stay long, and immediately set off for Mrs. Wang's main courtyard, and after arriving at Mrs. Wang's courtyard, they met Jia Zhu head-on. I think I came to the family banquet set up by Jia Zheng.
Jia Ke looked at Jia Zhu carefully and found that he was getting clearer and clearer, and he no longer had the original Yushu posture facing the wind. However, Jia Ke looked at Jia Zhu, although he lost a lot of weight, his spirit was very good. didn't use the kind of malaise after A Furong, a good Jia Zhu, really worthy of the pride of the sky in the Dream of Red Mansions, was able to give Ah Furong a ring.
However, in Jia Ke's opinion, it is still a little late, although he quit A Furong, but his body has collapsed, but he is implicated in some years.
Jia Ke completely admired Jia Zhu's perseverance. In modern society, with various drugs, it is not possible to completely quit this thing. In this ancient world, where there was nothing, Jia Zhu actually quit Ah Furong with only his own perseverance, which he had only seen before.
After Jia Zhu saw Jia Ke, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, completely without the arrogance of the sister-in-law when he saw the concubine, maybe he had already figured it out, that is, he had to be a jinshi, a high-ranking official had to be a high-ranking official, and a horse had to be ridden. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with Jia Ke. That's why I put down my body and saluted Jia Ke first.
"The younger brother has seen the eldest brother, and he is a little bad during this time, and he didn't go to greet the eldest brother just now, and I ask the eldest brother to forgive me." When Jia Zhu saw Jia Ke, he hurriedly explained to him, afraid that Jia Ke would have any prejudices.
Jia Ke rushed to help Jia Zhu up, "My own brother, do you still use such a courtesy?" Besides, I don't know your body, it's serious to recuperate more at home, what's the matter with welcoming me? We used to study and play together and grew up together, and we will support each other in the future, and we can also have a good story. ”
"My brother's words made me ashamed to death, I didn't know the height of the sky back then, but now I have repented, but it's too late." After Jia Zhu said this, he didn't know what he remembered, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Jia Ke hurriedly comforted him and said: "Brother doesn't have to say such depressing words, I think that although the virtuous brother's body is a little reduced, his spirit is still good." If you think it's not a big deal, as long as you take care of your body and take care of it, it's okay to come to the next subject. Even if you can't be elected to the imperial examination, with people like us, if you want to get an official and a half-position, it is not easy to catch it, and when the time comes, Zhang Luo, who is a brother and a virtuous brother, will make the virtuous brother get his wish. ”
Jia Zhu listened to Jia Ke's words, grabbed his hand and was moved beyond measure, "Brother doesn't care about the past suspicions, but also thinks about me." It makes me even more ashamed, in the future, my brother will have a life, and I will have no disrespect. ”
"Brother Xian, don't say such things, if there is something in the future, the two of us brothers will discuss with each other, and we will definitely make our Rongguo Mansion become a dignitary in the capital again."
When the two brothers were talking, there was a burst of laughter behind them, "Okay, brothers work together, and their profits are gold." If you two are like this, I will be relieved. ”
Jia Ke and Jia Zhu turned around and saw that Jia Zheng had been standing not far from them for a while, and the two brothers hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Jia Zheng.
Jia Zheng stepped forward to hold the two of them, patted them on the shoulder, and smiled with relief. Then he personally pulled them into the inner courtyard one by one.
Aunt Zhou looked at them from behind, and she felt happy. Now what she wants is the peace of this house.
As soon as they entered Mrs. Wang's place, they saw Mrs. Wang come out with Jia Baoyu, Jia Tanchun and the maids to greet them.
Mrs. Wang, Jia Baoyu and others hurriedly saluted Jia Zheng first, and others said that Jia Baoyu saw Jia Zheng, just like a mouse saw a cat. There is cringe, where is the usual chic.
When Jia Zheng saw him like this, he felt a little unhappy, he usually looked at Jia Baoyu fine. But today, in comparison, Jia Zhu and Jia Ke stood on both sides of him. Looking at Jia Baoyu's trembling look, the more I felt that this child was a little unable to get on the stage.
Jia Zheng originally wanted to scold Jia Baoyu a few words, but thinking that today was to wash the dust for Jia Ke, so he endured it for the time being. just glared at Jia Baoyu fiercely, which scared Jia Baoyu enough that he was a little trembling when he stood aside. I don't know what I did wrong, and I made my father angry. But they did not know that they had suffered an unjustified disaster.
Jia Zheng led everyone directly into the main hall, Jia Zheng made the right position, and Mrs. Wang accompanied her on the side seat. Aunt Zhou also naturally sat on the other side.
It seems that Aunt Zhou's status has been greatly improved during this time, just looking at it as only having a small seat in front of Jia Zheng, but this is a symbol of status, indicating that she is no longer an ordinary concubine.
In the next generation, Jia Ke and Jia Zhu stood on both sides, Jia Baoyu still rolled in Mrs. Wang's arms as before, and only the little Jia Tanchun sat down quietly on the soft couch alone.
As soon as everyone sat down, there was a noise outside, and then a maid came in and said, "Master, madam, Aunt Zhao is here." ”
Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zheng, and then said to the maid, "Then let her in, what are you arguing about outside?" ”
After a while, Aunt Zhao came in, still holding a small child in her arms, about two or three years old. After she invited in, she first saluted Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. Then he didn't see Aunt Zhou, so he had to sit on the chair next to him.
When Jia Ke saw this situation, he frowned, this Aunt Zhao is too confused about the situation, Aunt Zhou is because of him Jia Ke is the marquis and worships the general, so her mother sits in this position with her son, she is now just a concubine with a child, and her son has only been born for a few years, how can she be qualified to sit on an equal footing with Aunt Zhou.
Jia Zheng couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he saw Aunt Zhao and wanted to sit opposite Aunt Zhou. Although he pampered Aunt Zhao, he was a rule-abiding person. There was also some displeasure with Aunt Zhao for coming so unruly, but she still wanted her to play a round, so she coughed and said to Aunt Zhao, "I'm a little thirsty, bring me a bowl of tea." ”
Aunt Zhao is also a clever person, otherwise she would not have spent decades under Mrs. Wang safe and sound in the dream of Red Mansions, and gave birth to a son and a daughter. When she heard Jia Zheng's instructions, she knew that Jia Zheng was a little displeased, so she handed the child in her arms to the nurse next to her, turned around, poured a cup of tea for Jia Zheng from the table next to her casually, and then handed it to Jia Zheng with a smile, and then stood next to Jia Zheng.
