At night, light snow gradually falls.

The courtyard seems to be covered with a layer of white veil.

Under the red lantern under the hugging building, there is a red and white world in front of the door.

After Jia Cong did his homework for more than an hour, when he saw the meal, he came out to breathe and exercise his muscles.

After going out, I saw Mi'er, Juan'er, Xiaozhu, and Qiuzhu four little girls, or holding a big broom, or a small shovel, or a dustpan, clearing the snow one by one.

The small bamboo with a big broom is not as high as the broom.

Seeing her swinging her broom hard, Jia Cong smiled dumbly, walked off the platform, and said, "Come to me, I'll sweep." ”

"No, you can't!"

Four crunchy sounds rang out at the same time.

Mi'er, the most eccentric on weekdays, said: "The third master has to make a plan to kill people with a knife?" ”

Jia Cong said speechlessly: "Okay, if you don't learn from your sister Xiaohong, you will learn these narrow ones!" ”

Seeing Mi'er's pale face, the three little girls of Juan'er, Xiaozhu, and Qiuzhu all giggled.

Because of the hard work and the cold, the little face is red.

In the Hereafter, which is not a treasure at home?

In this world, they have become rough little girls who serve people.

It's just that Jia Cong can't change the general trend of the world now, and mavericks will never end well.

But he also found it difficult to use it with peace of mind, so he said: "I have been sitting in it for a long time, and I am just moving my muscles and bones." Give it to me, I'm done talking. ”

Xiaozhu had no choice but to give the broom to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong swept it up, but it was much faster than Xiaozhu.

The four little girls who were shocked clapped and laughed again, making a mess, so lively.

The courtyard of Mozhuyuan is not big, but Jia Cong swept it clean with a cup of tea.

Let the four little girls go into the house to warm up, don't get caught in the cold, he moved his hands and feet again, and was about to go back to the house to study again, but suddenly found that there was movement outside the wooden door of the courtyard.

The originally dim snow was covered with bright candles.

There are even more shallow footsteps, which are clearly not something that one or two people can step on.

Jia Cong paused, stood in the courtyard, and looked at the wooden door.

Before long, I saw a figure wearing a big red gorilla felt cloak appear at the door.

There were still a number of people standing outside the door, who had not entered.

When the visitor walked into the wooden door and looked up, Jia Cong took a few steps forward, bowed down and said, "Second sister-in-law." ”

"Yo, Brother Cong, what are you doing standing in the courtyard on this cold day?"

The person who came was Wang Xifeng, and he still didn't say a word and heard it first.

Jia Cong praised in his heart, Feng Lazi, who was born in everyone, no matter what means he secretly used, he must be warm and thoughtful on his face.

If it weren't for the fact that he was familiar with the Red Chamber in his previous life, knew this person's temperament well, and looked at her kind and warm appearance, who would have thought what kind of person she was in her bones?

Jia Lian's little guy Xing'er summed it up most appropriately:

The mouth is sweet and bitter, with three knives on both sides, a smile on the top, and a stumbling block under his feet, which is obviously a pot of fire, and secretly a knife......

It's all accounted for!

However, in fact, Wang Xifeng only attacked those who had conflicting interests with her.

Jia Cong thought to himself that now, there is nothing wrong with her.

So he replied: "Back to the second sister-in-law, I have been sitting and writing in the house for a long time, so I came out to move my hands and feet." ”

"Poof!"

A smile bloomed on Wang Xifeng's pretty face, and the phoenix hairpin on her head shook gently, shining with a golden luster under the light, and she smiled: "Third brother, you are now more and more like an old master, and you are serious."

It's all their own flesh and blood, where do you have to hold it like this?

How tired and panicked! ”

Jia Cong lowered his eyes and said softly: "I was beaten and injured twice last time, if it weren't for the help of the second brother and sister-in-law and sister Ping'er, would Cong Yan be able to live?"

Therefore, he did not dare to be rude in front of his second sister-in-law. ”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, he was slightly moved, and after taking a closer look at Jia Cong, he saw that he was still too thin, and then thought about the suffering he had suffered before, and he understood why Jia Cong didn't dare to do anything wrong.

She thought that Jia Cong was afraid.

Listening to his kindness again, the false smile on his face was reduced by three points, and he sighed lightly and said, "Now that I am here, I don't have to be too restrained."

How old are you, there is really a fault, a bodhisattva like my wife, can't I tolerate you? ”

But at this point, Wang Xifeng suddenly stopped the topic, and some embarrassment appeared on his face.

I blame myself a little in my heart: if people are soft-hearted, things will not be easy to do.

Jia Cong seemed to sense her hesitation, looked up at her, and said, "Does the second sister-in-law have something to order?" Why don't you go and sit in the house for a while and drink a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold? ”

When Wang Xifeng heard this, after thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Okay, just eat a cup of tea for the third brother." ”

While walking in with Jia Cong, he asked, "What about the two girls that Ping'er picked for you?" Why don't you see anyone? ”

Jia Cong said: "Xiaohong went to the kitchen to get dinner, and Chunyan went to the pulp washing room to get the washed clothes." ”

"Are they still obedient?"

"It's all good, thank you second sister-in-law and sister Ping'er for bothering."

"Oh, my own family, what ...... outside?"

……

Rongxi Hall, three rooms in the east.

This is always the place where Mrs. Wang often sits and rests.

The furnishings in the room are luxurious and elegant, and the warmth of life is not lost.

The big kang near the window is covered with scarlet poppers, and the front is set up with a big red money python backrest, a stone blue money python pillow, and an autumn fragrant money python large mattress.

On both sides, there is a pair of plum blossom lacquer small tables.

On the left, there are a few Wang Ding, spoon incense box; On the right, there are fresh flowers inserted in the Ru kiln beauty, and tea bowls and spit pots.

On the four chairs in the west of the ground, there are silver and red flowered chairs, and there are four pairs of foot pedals underneath.

There is also a pair of high tables on both sides of the chair, and several tea bowls and vases are available.

There are two brocade mattresses on the edge of the kang, and at this moment, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are sitting on them.

On the ground, Jia Baoyu stood there honestly, half-hanging his head, not daring to breathe.

Mrs. Wang looked at Baoyu with a soft and loving smile and said, "I heard that you are the host today, and you have invited the old lady and the sisters in the family to a banquet?" ”

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he glanced at Jia Zheng in horror, and when he saw that he didn't scold him on the spot, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said respectfully: "Yes, Sister Shi came yesterday, and the old lady was very happy." So the son took some silver as a host, and invited the ancestors and sisters to a feast.

Still...... I also invited Huan'er's younger brother. ”

As he spoke, Baoyu quietly looked at Fan Jia Zheng.

In fact, he didn't want to invite Jia Huan a million times, and he really had nothing to say to Jia Huan.

It's just Wang Xifeng's idea for him, saying that in this way, he must be happy.

Unexpectedly, when he said this, sure enough, Jia Zheng's stern eyes eased a lot.

Jia Zheng glanced at Baoyu, saw him peeking, snorted, Baoyu hurriedly withdrew his eyes, and stood up with his eyes, nose, nose and mouth.

Jia Zheng said to Mrs. Wang: "It is right to know that Caiyi entertains relatives, brothers, friends and brothers." ”

Mrs. Wang understands that in this era, she pays attention to holding her son and not her grandson, and she is extremely strict with her son.

And Jia Zhengneng said such a thing, which shows that he is satisfied with Jia Baoyu's actions.

Jia Zheng said again: "Recently, I have been studying in Mozhu Academy, do you have any experience? ”

When Baoyu heard this, cold sweat came down on her forehead, and she said worriedly: "It's ...... I read "University". ”

Speaking of "University", Jia Zheng's face sank.

In front of Kong Chuanzhen's old man that day, Baoyu lost all his face!

Seeing that Jia Zheng was attacking, Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Master, Baoyu now knows that he is eager to learn, and it is not too late."

Now he goes to Mozhu Academy early every day to study, thinking that after a long time, he will have benefits. ”

Jia Zheng didn't want to give Mrs. Wang decency, so he only snorted, and after suppressing his anger, he suddenly remembered it again, and said in a deep voice: "Did you also invite Brother Cong today?" ”

Mrs. Wang's face changed when she heard this, and when she looked at Baoyu again, her head was completely hanging on her chest.

Where could he think of Jia Cong......

Seeing that things were not good, Mrs. Wang hurriedly filled in the omission and said, "I specially instructed him, don't invite Brother Cong today, change to ask for it alone."

I also prepared some winter clothes for Baoyu Ming'er to bring over and give to Brother Cong.

The main reason is that the old lady is not happy to see him, and besides, the East Road Courtyard knows about it, and he is afraid that he will complain about Baoyu. ”

Jia Zheng, who was about to have a seizure, heard this, and pressed it down again.

It's just that there is a little more unhappiness in the bottom of my heart, and I shouted to Baoyu: "Damn evil obstacles, what are you still doing standing here?" Go to Gaole for what you do. ”

Mrs. Wang said, "Baoyu, go to the old lady's side, I will send someone to look for you in a while." ”

When Baoyu heard this, she hurriedly saluted Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and then withdrew from the door.

After he left, Mrs. Wang said softly: "Master, Baoyu is not in good health, don't be strict, just know how to be motivated." ”

Jia Zheng couldn't get used to hearing this, and said: "Is he not in good health, or is Brother Cong'er not in good health?"

Brother Cong was beaten like that, and abused like that, but he still didn't forget to go to school!

No matter how bad Baoyu's body is, can he compare with him? ”

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was secretly displeased in her heart.

In her opinion, how can Jia Cong be compared with Baoyu?

put together, all of them lowered Baoyu's identity.

It's just that this can't be said naturally.

Jia Zheng didn't care about Mrs. Wang's complexion, and said: "Although Brother Cong'er has a bad background, I asked people to inquire, he has always been a person who knows his duty and courtesy, and he also attaches great importance to kindness and righteousness.

The people who associate with him are also such people. ”

He was talking about the mother and son of the Ni family, but he didn't send someone to inquire, but Jia Cong himself......

Speaking of which, Jia Zheng turned around and finally saw Mrs. Wang's somewhat irrepressible band face, first stunned, and then laughed dumbly.

He no longer understands world affairs, and he understands Mrs. Wang's thoughts at this time.

Whoever first reprimands her son for worthlessness and then praises other people's children will not be happy.

It's nature.

Jia Zheng smiled: "You, I don't understand how much I have to worry about." ”

Mrs. Wang became more and more sad when she heard this, and forced a smile: "I am already rude, and I am disgusted by the master." ”

Jia Zheng said "eh", waved his hand and said: "Mrs. was born in a famous family, knows books and courtesy, has been filial to her uncle and aunt over the years, raised her grandchildren and nieces to be kind, and managed the family business. ”

After saying this, Shengsheng blushed at what Mrs. Wang said.

Although Jia Zheng is serious, he abides by secular etiquette.

But after all, he was born in a wealthy mansion, and sweet words have been a compulsory lesson since childhood.

If he wasn't very good at this, he wouldn't be able to take charge of the huge family business of the Guogong Mansion with a second room.

So it was a no-brainer to take down Mrs. Wang......

When Mrs. Wang retreated from her previous grievances, she heard Jia Zheng say softly: "Madame should also know that now my family's children are not much.

Although people like us don't have to be like that cold door, they have to study hard in the cold window and make a future before they can change their family, and when they grow up, their children will have their own family business.

But if you can't keep it yourself, the world will be just as difficult, or even more difficult.

Baoyu is not badly talented, but he is ...... The old lady really doted on her side.

was reluctant to let him study hard, and developed a temperament of enjoying happiness and usefulness.

is only blindly pampered, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to make a career in the future.

Brother Cong is different, he has suffered hardships and pains, he is sensible very early, and his heart is also very good.

I think he will have a good future in the future, and Mr. Mumin also judged this way that day.

The most rare thing is that although he is young, he understands kindness and righteousness very well!

Now he is grateful to you and me, and his wife should be more kind to him.

After all, Madame and I have both spring and autumn, and if it is no longer a day, it is always good for Baoyu to have such a brother to protect him.

You and I, as parents, can also have peace of mind. ”

At this point, Mrs. Wang had already heard Jia Zheng's good intentions, and she was moved to tears.

She didn't expect that Jia Zheng's move was actually for Baoyu.

Although she was quite unimpressed with this idea in her heart, in her opinion, even if Baoyu needed someone to protect her in the future, there would be Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng.

No matter how bad it is, there is also her maiden family, Baoyu's maternal family, the Wang family.

Where do you need a concubine to worry about?

It's really a joke.

However, she has always known that Jia Zheng values scholars, so she is still moved by Jia Zheng's intentions for Jia Baoyu.

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "In the end, the old man thinks long-term, not short-sighted than our women's families."

The master can rest assured that in the future, if anyone has Huan'er, Brother Cong'er will have a copy. ”

Jia Zheng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, he didn't expect Mrs. Wang to treat Jia Cong like she did to Baoyu.

In fact, he didn't really think about letting Jia Cong protect Baoyu in his heart, just looking for an excuse.

He had the best study in his life, but because of his talent and family background, he couldn't go far on the way to his career.

Now he can only hope for Jia Cong to make up for the regrets of his life.

Of course, what he said to Mrs. Wang was not all lies.

If a person is not a sage, who can be unselfish?

If he could, of course he hoped that Kong Chuanzhen would be more optimistic about Baoyu.

But talent is such a thing, and it is really impossible to ask for it.

Therefore, he not only hopes that Jia Cong can live well and fulfill his wish together in the industry, but also hopes to be gracious to him, and it is always good to help Baoyu, Jia Huan and others in the future.

He didn't expect that no matter what kind of thoughts he had, the kindness he had saved at the moment would become a good cause for saving the entire Jia clan in the future.
