Chapter 166: Routine......
Rika-in.
This was originally the place where Rongguo Gong retreated in the twilight years, with more than a dozen small and elegant rooms, and the guest house hall was complete.
In the courtyard, on a lush old pear tree, thousands of pear blossoms bloom like the first snow.
Snow white and moving.
The two grandmothers of the Xue family led Jia Cong along the verandah to the inner house, and when they passed by Pear Blossom, Jia Cong paused and took a few closer looks.
The two grandmothers didn't dare to urge, and stood aside and waited quietly.
But I saw Jia Cong wearing a moon-white Confucian shirt, with a face like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, handsome and extraordinary.
Opposite to a pear tree, it is more and more beautiful.
Although both of them knew Jia Cong's life experience, they couldn't be disgusted at this time.
It's just pleasing to the eye.
After a while, Jia Cong and the two apologized and walked to the main room of the back house.
……
"Ouch! The third master is here! ”
At the door, a maid carried a small stool, sat on the shallow platform to play a rope, and when she saw Jia Cong coming, she stood up happily to greet her.
Jia Cong recognized this clever and well-behaved girl, who was Xue Baochai's henchman Ying'er.
I had followed her girl to the Rong Mansion before.
Jia Cong smiled and nodded, Ying'er put away the needle and thread in her hand, and said with a bright smile: "Third master, please come inside, our wife, girl, uncle and second master Bao are talking inside." ”
Jia Cong smiled when he heard this: "Baoyu is also there." ”
Ying'er glanced at Jia Cong cautiously, and said softly: "Our uncle's injury hasn't healed yet, so our wife invited Second Master Bao to accompany her." ”
When Jia Cong heard this, he knew in his heart, why did Aunt Xue dare to risk Jia's mother's ban to invite him, it turned out that she had laid this ambush.
Although Jia's mother didn't want the sisters of the Jia family to have any more contact with Jia Cong, she didn't necessarily want Jia Baoyu to cut off contact with Jia Cong.
Even if she doesn't want to admit it, she has to admit that Jia Cong is a very capable person.
Mother Jia herself doesn't need Jia Cong anything, as a first-class duchess of the country, in addition to the heavenly family, the women all over the world are more valuable than her, and she can't count them in one hand.
The shade and incense left by Xian Rongguo are enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
Even if there were a few accidents before, looking so bluffing, no one dared to disturb her, an old feudal monarch.
Otherwise, the Jinyi pro-army is ordered to take people, how can there be any reason to wait at the door?
It's just that she understands that she doesn't need it, and the descendants of the Jia family may not need it.
Especially Baoyu......
This grandson born of jade, although he looks like a treasure like jade, his means of dealing with the world are not as good as those who hide treachery in his heart......
Therefore, Jia Mu is also willing to see his heart and soul befriend Jia Cong, so that he can have a call in case of trouble in the future.
Of course, the priorities must be distinguished.
Therefore, when Aunt Xue went to invite Baoyu, Mother Jia happily agreed.
She also wanted to see what kind of attitude Jia Cong had towards Baoyu......
……
"Please Aunt An, Brother Xue, Sister Bao."
After entering the main room, I saw Aunt Xue sitting on the side of the kang, Xue Pan lying on the kang, Baoyu sitting next to Aunt Xue, and Xue Baochai sitting on the chair below.
After Jia Cong greeted the older ones in turn, he smiled at Baoyu again and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how do you feel that you have lost some weight?" ”
Baoyu was actually a little embarrassed on her face, yesterday his grandmother ran to Jia's mother to complain, which made Jia's mother angry and reprimanded Jia Cong fiercely, and she didn't even have a face with her sisters.
Although this matter really has nothing to do with him, it's just that Mingyan has more mouths in front of Mama Li, but others don't see it that way.
Later, he explained to Daiyu that Daiyu's appearance of smiling but not smiling made him feel weak and aggrieved, and after arguing a few words, he saw that Daiyu vomited the medicine he had drunk, and he also regretted that he couldn't sleep that night.
Coupled with some mothers-in-law and maids talking behind their backs, and the strange eyes of the sisters, Baoyu only felt that there was almost no place at home, and she was uncomfortable.
So as soon as Aunt Xue invited him, he came.
Hearing Jia Cong's words at this time, Baoyu thought that Jia Cong was deliberately laughing at him for having a ghost in his heart who couldn't sleep and eat, so he blushed and became angry, but looking at Jia Cong's expression again, it didn't look like this, and he couldn't bear to blame people anymore, so he said in a sullen voice: "Xu went out yesterday and contracted some wind and cold......
Somehow, I caught a glimpse of Xue Baochai's faint eyes on the side, and there was a nameless fire in my heart, feeling that I was about to become a rat crossing the street, and everyone hated it.
When he came just now, Sister Bao always had a pale face towards him, which made him feel so uncomfortable.
At this time, Baoyu decided to simply pick and say that life or death is a disaster, and if he can't explain it clearly, he won't be able to live.
The sisters in the family thought he was the little one who snitched behind his back, what was the point of his life?
Therefore, Baoyu stiffened his neck and said: "Jia Cong, I really don't know what happened yesterday, it was Mingyan who told my grandmother, and she took it upon herself to tell the ......."
"Huh!"
Without waiting for Baoyu to speak, Jia Cong drank in a slightly higher voice, interrupted him and smiled: "What are you talking about?" His own brother, making people laugh.
It's just that you have a lot of heart, and you want to explain, do you think we don't know your temperament yet? ”
said and smiled: "Baoyu, let me tell you, you don't have to say this kind of explanation, and no one will doubt you if you don't say it."
If you have to explain, it will make people think that you are talking to your grandmother.
Especially Sister Lin, she thinks a lot, you must be careful. ”
After saying this, Baoyu was completely stunned.
It seemed to be struck by a lightning bolt in my mind, and I suddenly realized!
Yes, yes, it must be.
Yesterday, he tried his best to explain to Sister Lin that this matter was a misunderstanding, this matter was a misunderstanding, but he didn't have time to explain where the misunderstanding was.
In this way, Daiyu and the others will not be misunderstood!
thought he was talking to his grandmother, but the conscience of heaven and earth, he saw that the old disgusting thing was also annoying, how could he talk to her?
After thinking about it, Baoyu felt remorse and grievance in her heart.
The aggrieved sisters don't understand him, no matter what, he can't go against the sisters in the family for a bad old woman.
Seeing that Baoyu's tears were falling, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Baoyu, don't cheat me, just now I saw Mama Li eating and drinking in the hugging building, let her hear the movement again at this time, turn around and complain, I really can't get over the old lady." ”
Baoyu was ashamed and ashamed when she heard this, and said, "At this time, you are clearly saying good things, how can the old lady teach you a lesson?" ”
Jia Cong laughed and said, "Do you think I said bad things yesterday?" ”
Baoyu knew that he was speechless, his face was about to turn purple, and he waved his hand again and again: "I didn't mean that......"
Baochai said softly: "Yesterday, Brother Cong just said that he respected Yun'er the most among his sisters, brave and strong, all these years, he has survived all the hardships, and he is optimistic and cheerful, generous and happy."
Just such a good word, somehow touched Yun'er's heart, hugged Brother Cong and fainted crying.
The old lady was distressed when she found out, and she couldn't care about many other reasons, and when she saw that Yun'er was crying and fainting, she called Brother Cong to teach her a lesson.
What a grievance! ”
Aunt Xue recited the Buddha and said with a smile: "Amitabha! Now that the misunderstandings have been solved, they are all good boys! Brother Cong was wronged by the old lady, and Baoyu was wronged by the sisters, and he was wronged for a night, which can be regarded as a tie. ”
Jia Cong glanced at Baochai first, thanked her for explaining, and then smiled: "The old lady didn't wronged me, those words shouldn't have been said by me, and Sister Yun, who was so good, cried like that, and I blamed myself in my heart."
Catch up with Ming'er and have a chance, and then annoy Sister Yun. ”
Baochai smiled at Jia Cong, coincidentally looking forward to it, and pursed her lips and smiled while her eyes were shining: "Brother Cong, don't thank you anymore, Yun'er woke up yesterday and learned that Brother Cong was scolded, and she almost didn't kill herself, and she was the one who had the most trouble with Brother Bao, and Sister Lin just beat a few words of side drums."
But it just so happened that the Shi family sent Mama to pick her up, and in the end, Brother Bao had a quarrel with Sister Lin. Otherwise, I can't say that Yun Yatou can fight with Baoyu! ”
"Poof!"
Baoyu, who was originally full of shame, heard that Shi Xiangyun was going to fight with him, smiled angrily, and said to Jia Cong: "You don't know, after knowing yesterday that it was Mama Li's complaint, Yun Yatou and I are about to become enemies!" This has no conscience, and I owe it to me that I treat her so well on weekdays. ”
The tone was a little lost.
Jia Cong shook his head and said: "You are thinking about this again, if the family loses face to outsiders because of misunderstandings, which trouble do you say you are looking for?"
I've only been in contact with the sisters for a few days, and even if I make a few lyrics that they like a little, in the end, it's just a brother we see occasionally.
You and they are growing up together.
Baoyu, boys should have boys' minds, how can there be a reason to be angry with sisters? ”
Hearing this, Baoyu was both respectful and ashamed, and bowed down and said, "I have been taught." ”
Jia Cong smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "My brother, you are talking to me again." ”
Aunt Xue on the side smiled when she saw it, and praised: "Brother and brother, they are really good children." He said to Xue Pan, who had been lying on the kang without saying a word: "Look at how people are brothers, and then look at you!" ”
When Xue Pan saw Jia Cong, he remembered the situation in the prison of the Zhenfu Division that day, and his most humiliating and unsightly thing was known by Jia Cong, seeing him, Xue Pan's heart was full of discomfort, and when he heard Aunt Xue's words, he only laughed forcefully, without the domineering and uninhibited freedom of the past.
Aunt Xue and Baochai frowned a little when they saw it, but Jia Cong smiled softly: "Brother Xue is also very good, Aunt is afraid that she doesn't know, that day in the Imperial Prison, Brother Xue can let go of everything, but the only ones who can't let go are Aunt and Sister Bao." He said that he was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his aunt and sister Bao would be lost in the future after the people were gone. ”
This was what Xue Pan said on the return carriage that day, not in the edict, and it was originally to save some face in front of Jia Cong.
At this time, Jia Cong said with a smile, and he felt hot on his face when he heard it.
Because he didn't have the courage to die in prison......
just listened to Aunt Xue and even Baochai's ears, but she was really moved and heartbroken, and her eyes were red and tears fell on the spot.
Aunt Xue hugged Xue Pan's big head in her arms, and cried in distress: "My son, ......"
Baochai wiped tears from her eyes.
Even Baoyu was impressed by this stupid overlord, and looked at him in a daze, not wanting Xue Pan to have such a responsibility......
However, at this moment, I heard Jia Cong smile again: "Auntie, I don't know why Brother Xue invited me this time?" ”
When Aunt Xue was distracted, she blurted out without thinking about what she was saying: "Your brother Xue wants Feng Zihao to operate soap, and then ......connect with the Ye family."
Before he finished speaking, he had already woken up and was dumbfounded.
On the side, Xue Baochai couldn't believe his ears, his snow-white face was flushed, and he exclaimed in a trembling voice of resentment: "Mom?!" ”
