Chapter 128: Out of place
When Jia Cong took the little maid and the sparrow to Lixiangyuan at noon, what he saw was a lively scene.
There is a large round table of beautifully carved mahogany in the main hall, and Aunt Xue is sitting on the main seat, and next to it is a phoenix egg.
Sanchun and Daiyu sat on both sides, and Xue Baochai stood on the side and commanded the people to serve tea and snacks, looking happy.
"Ha, Brother Cong is here!"
Seeing Jia Cong, Aunt Xue greeted with a smile and said, how could she be reluctant?
"I've seen Madame, and all my brothers, sisters and sisters!"
Jia Cong smiled and saluted one by one, sat down on the seat of the guest of honor, and said with a smile: "For the sake of the little thing of the kid, it is really sad to ask Mrs. and Sister Xue to bother so much!" ”
"What do you say, it's as it should be!"
Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Brother Cong is too, if you don't tell me a few days ago that it will be your birthday, we can only postpone it to help celebrate your birthday!" ”
Aunt Xue smiled silently, but the phoenix egg next to her, as well as Sanchun and Daiyu's expressions were a little subtle.
These people were invited before, but they didn't expect it to be for Jia Cong's birthday.
It is inevitable that strange thoughts will arise in their hearts, not that they are heartless, but that they feel that the Xue family is so 'fanfare', and they are very suspicious of currying favor.
In other words, the entire Rongguo Mansion is worthy of the Xue family's please, isn't it only the old lady, even the second wife is not qualified.
Jia Cong, a big housemate, is worthy of the Xue family's mother and daughter?
"I don't want it to be your birthday a few days ago, don't be surprised if you didn't celebrate!"
Phoenix egg Jia Baoyu hurriedly spoke, and smiled at Jia Cong: "But it's also good to celebrate your birthday now, it just so happens that my sisters and sisters are here!" ”
Ya, this guy estimates that as long as there are a bunch of sisters and sisters on the side, it is estimated that he will be satisfied and have no regrets.
Sanchun and Daiyu said some words of blessing, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Thank you, thank you, you have a heart!"
Jia Cong laughed, smiled at all the blessings of everyone, waved his hand and said: "You brothers, sisters and sisters don't need to be polite, I didn't take the initiative to come to the door on your birthday, it's still mine!" ”
In other words, Sanchun is really pitiful.
The old lady only paid attention to Phoenix Egg and Lin Daiyu, and Sanchun had to stand aside.
Not to mention the side, just Sanchun's birthday, in addition to themselves, there is a personal big girl, who cares?
To put it mildly, people like Yingchun and Xichun are not taken seriously, and it is difficult to even get a bowl of Shou Noodles on their birthday.
It can only be said that the atmosphere of Rongguo Mansion praising the high and stepping on the low is not only for the inferior.
The Xue family spent a lot of thought for this banquet, so it naturally made Jia Cong feel at home. Including the phoenix egg Jia Baoyu, as well as Sanchun and Lin Daiyu are quite happy.
After eating and drinking, Aunt Xue left early, and let the young boys and girls play happily by themselves.
For Aunt Xue to take the initiative to receive, Jia Cong can be regarded as more appreciative, and when it comes to Xue Pan in the future, it will all be returned to Xue Pan, and this is what Aunt Xue wants.
Without the elders by his side, Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, is accompanied by a group of sisters and sisters who are like flowers and jade, and she is almost crazy.
As for Jia Cong, the so-called 'birthday star', he has long been thrown out of the clouds.
Fortunately, Jia Cong didn't care, saying that he and Phoenix Egg, as well as a group of sisters and sisters, really didn't have any common language.
Listen to what they said, what flowers and grass, poems, lyrics, and pairs of fun and the like, full of the atmosphere of talented and beautiful people.
It's not that Jia Cong can't answer, no matter how he says, he is full of poetry and books, and his cultural accomplishment is definitely not bad, but he just feels bored.
He is not like his sisters and sisters are all locked up in Rongguo Mansion, and he is in a small circle that is too familiar to be familiar all day long, and that's what he can say.
The phoenix egg Jia Baoyu is full of breath, but she can talk to her sisters and sisters energetically, and even become the most dazzling of them.
Nima ......
Seeing such a harmonious scene, Jia Cong didn't know what to say.
With such a temperament, how can he support the rapidly declining Rongguo Mansion?
Of course, this is a problem that the old lady should consider, and Jia Cong didn't plan to get involved in the authority of the Rongguo Mansion, so he just waited for the age to get out and set up another door, and the situation in the mansion had little to do with him.
Xue Baochai is worthy of being exquisite, and while actively participating in the topics of Baoyu and Sanchun, he does not forget to take care of Jia Cong, the 'birthday star'.
"Brother Cong, what are you usually busy with?"
"What else can you be busy with, it's just running around the clan and the bookstore, just busy with it!"
"Brother Cong laughed, who doesn't know the name of 'Cong Sanshao', now Brother Cong is a famous novelist in the capital!"
"Praise is false, I can't afford it!"
was polite here, and Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, suddenly came over for some reason, and asked curiously: "Third brother, did you really write that book "The Richest Man in the World"?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu, who were originally laughing softly, also looked at it, obviously very curious about this topic.
In the past two months, there has been a trend of "The Richest Man in the World" in Beijing, that is, the ladies in the mansions of wealthy families have heard of it, and some have even read the whole book.
Obviously, Sanchun and Lin Daiyu should have seen or heard the plot in it, otherwise they wouldn't be so curious.
"Of course!"
Jia Cong was a little confused, and he didn't understand why the phoenix egg suddenly asked this?
"How can you write a novel like this, which is full of filth and dirt, and it makes people feel disgusted to look at!"
The phoenix egg is direct, and when he says this, he looks straightforward.
The originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere in the room was stagnant, and Sanchun, Lin Daiyu, including Xue Baochai, looked at the phoenix egg with a rather subtle gaze.
"What do you write if you don't write this?"
Jia Cong was not angry, and said with a smile: "I can't write a talented and beautiful woman, what can I write at my age?" ”
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted a burst of laughter.
It is true that Jia Cong's age is too young, even after his birthday, he is only eleven years old, don't look at the appearance of 'five big and three coarse', but in fact he is an out-and-out little teenager.
This is why after the novel "The Richest Man in the World" came out, others would think that Wang Ziteng or Lin Ruhai secretly instructed it, and few people thought it was Jia Cong's personal behavior.
A burst of laughter swept away the embarrassing atmosphere in the room, and under the intentional guidance of Xue Baochai, he did not talk about the novel "The Richest Man in the World", but talked about the arrangements and activities of the New Year and the Lantern Festival, and his voice was crisp and lively......
