Chapter 134: Mother's Family
As he was talking, a maid came in a hurry, "There are a lot of girls and grandmothers, we don't know each other, girls, go and recognize your relatives!" ”
Daiyu knew a little about who it was, but Tanchun didn't know, and asked, "Hurry up and make it clear, who is here?" ”
The woman said, "There are two sisters from Grandma Zhu, and one girl is Miss Bao's sister, and the other is Miss Bao's brother." I'm going to ask grandma to go, girls, come over! ”
The two of them went to Mrs. Wang's upper room, and there was a room full of people in between, and they really recognized each other. It turned out that Mrs. Xing's brother and sister-in-law brought their daughter Xiuyan into Beijing to join Mrs. Xing, but Sister Qiaofeng's brother Wang Ren was also entering Beijing, and the two parents' families came to help. Halfway through, I met Li Kunzhi's widowed aunt with her two daughters, Li Wen and Li Qi also went to Beijing. Everyone is a relative, so the three families go all the way.
Later, there was Xue Panzhi's younger brother Xue Zhen, because when his father was in Beijing, he had married his sister Xue Baoqin to the son of Mei Hanlin in the capital, and was about to enter Beijing to marry. Won't it all come to visit?
The old lady and Mrs. Wang were very happy, and the old lady said, "It's strange that the lights exploded and exploded last night, and it ended up and knotted, so it was supposed to be today." He said to Daiyu again, "Yu'er don't go back today, stay here and be lively, tomorrow morning, let's enjoy the snow in the garden." ”
Daiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "I'd better come back tomorrow morning, my brocade building can't live now." Seriously, my grandmother should still help Zhang Luo and help me move my things to your east wing, and I would like to live there instead. If my father still wants to go to the south next year, I will have to live here, I am timid, and it is more comfortable to live with my grandmother. ”
When the old lady heard that she was going to stay here after the New Year, she became more and more happy, "That's it." I asked Mandarin Duck to help you move! ”
When Baoyu heard this, she was not happy, "Isn't it good for Sister Lin to live in the garden?" Why did you move back in? Don't you think it's bad to decorate the brocade building? Otherwise, let's change it. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled, "Your sister is not more restrained now than in the past. It was your aunt's absence that the old lady detained her to do more embroidery work, so she could still stay awake as before and play in the garden all day long? ”
The old lady said, "In that case, let the brocade house be vacated for the new girls to live in, and your house is also large, and it is enough for the four of them, and it is lively." ”
There weren't many things left by Daiyu in the Jinlou, and some of the valuable ones were put in the cage by Li Mi before. Now, the mandarin duck is staring, Zijuan also went over to help watch, Xifeng called some mothers-in-law and helped her move her things to the old lady's east wing.
Zijuan is also clever, one person sent a tael of silver, and several mothers-in-law were careful and willing to do things, and they finished moving in half a day. After that, Xifeng moved the four girls Xiuyan, Baoqin, Li Wen and Li Qi in, Xiuyan and Baoqin lived upstairs, and Li Wen and Li Qi lived downstairs.
Although there is less Daiyu in the garden, there are four more girls who are like flowers and jade, and when they ask, they can actually compose poems, and others are okay, Baoyu was very happy first, and shouted to open a club. Or Baochai stopped, "They are all newcomers, and they are not ripe yet, they are very restrained, for the time being, when everyone is familiar, the New Year has begun, the weather is hot, Sister Lin is also back, and then I take Miss Shi back, let's invite a club together, wouldn't it be good?" ”
Tanchun said, "What are you waiting for? Didn't the old lady say that she was going to the garden to enjoy the snow tomorrow? Simply invite Miss Shi to come, let's play together for a day tomorrow, if you can write poetry, you can write poetry, and if you can't write poetry, you should familiarize yourself with the rules first. ”
Everyone said yes.
When Daiyu was about to go back, the old lady called Jia Lian over, "Haosheng sent your sister Lin back, and told your aunt that I would go to the garden to play tomorrow, and ask her to bring the two children over early in the morning, and we will have a good day of play." ”
Jia's was originally very busy, but the old lady had already spoken, and she especially wanted to go back to her parents' house, so Lin Ruhai said, "Go to have a good life and have a day, what is so important?" It's not as good as in previous years, you have to deal with that side, and now you don't get along, who in the family can cross you in the future? Children are sensible, and it is more important to take care of their health. ”
In the past few years, Lin Ruhai has been angry because of his children, and his career is accessible, so he has nothing to worry about, and he pays more attention to health preservation on weekdays, but his body has improved a lot.
Jia Min couldn't help but glance at Lin Ruhai carelessly, "I'm regretting it, if I hadn't sent those people away a few years ago, and now, there is still an arm that can help, so that as soon as I go out, there will be no one at home to watch." ”
Lin Ruhai knew that she was joking, and said with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm going to drink tea now, so I'll bother Mrs. Lao to make a cup herself!" ”
The next day, Lin Ruhai got up early in the morning and went to the palace. Jia Zhen came early to pick up, and Jia Min took the two children and took a carriage to the Lin Mansion. At the second gate, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang led Li Kun and Xifeng to wait, and when the three of them got off the carriage, they hurriedly welcomed them in.
The old lady has been looking forward to it for a long time, this time, I heard that it was coming, and she was busy getting up and about to come out, Jia Min hurriedly walked over, saw the salute, and asked Brother Eaves to kowtow to the old lady, where was the old lady willing to go, and pulled him into her arms, "Good boy, don't listen to your mother, it's only been a few days since you kowtowed?" My son, who is cold on his body, came on horseback? ”
Brother Wei said with a smile, "My mother said that she was afraid of my grandmother's scolding, so she didn't let me ride a horse, but she came in a carriage." ”
"That's good, it's a cold day, you're weak, where can you ride a horse? If you want to ride, you are not in a hurry at this time, let's wait for the weather to be warmer before riding. Brother Baoyu, I won't let him ride, carefully freeze the joints, and you will know that it is powerful when you are old in the future. ”
Brother Wei was crooked in the old lady's arms, and was touched by her, and couldn't help but panic. He was at home, and his father would be unhappy if his mother spoiled him like this. But no one dared to say anything.
Baochai pushed at Baoyu, glanced at Brother Eaves and said with a smile, "The old lady won't hurt you in the future." ”
Daiyu was amused when she heard it, "Sister Bao, you should tell me this, with Brother Wei here, let alone Brother Bao, even I have to stand aside." Sure enough, if you don't compare, there is no harm! ”
As soon as he said that, everyone in the room laughed, and Xifeng laughed even more, pointing at Daiyu and saying to Jia Min, "Auntie, look at my sister's mouth, I always say how did my aunt give birth to such dexterity?" Teach me! ”
The old lady was inevitably proud, and said to Li Kun's widowed sister-in-law, "My uncle's family is also a seed of reading, and my uncle was a flower when he was young, and now how old is my grandson?" It's just a child, if I didn't say that I'm so young, I'm not allowed to go down anymore, I want to go down, stay older, I'm afraid I'm a show now. ”
