On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sky was covered with goose feathers and heavy snow. Jia Min hadn't gotten up yet, and when he heard Yao Huang say that it was snowing outside, he jumped up from the bed excitedly, and ran to open the window to see the snow before he had time to put on his shoes. Wan Mo happened to walk in and saw it and shouted, "My little ancestor!" You don't even wear shoes on such a cold day, and if you catch a cold, it's not you who will suffer at that time! As he spoke, he quickly walked over and pulled Jia Min back to the bed. After finishing, he complained to Yao Huang, who closed the window: "You too, if you don't pull this little ancestor, you are a little uneasy." ”

Yao Huang pouted aggrievedly and looked at her girl, although she was usually steady and caring, but after all, she was still young, this look was really cute, Jia Min covered her mouth and smiled, and made a grimace at Yao Huang when she didn't care.

Yao Huang was stunned at first when he saw it, and it was rare to see his own girl showing the delicate appearance of his little daughter, so he also stuck out his tongue at Jia Min. The small actions of the master and servant were hidden from their eyes, and they just pretended not to see it.

Hongmei came in with hot water at this time to wash Jia Min, and saw that Jia Min had already gotten up, and Yao Huang was serving her to get dressed, so she said, "Girl, it's snowing outside!" Jia Min and Yao Huang looked at each other for a moment and laughed. Hongmei looked at the two of them inexplicably, and said, "Don't pay attention to their crazy master and servant." The tone was a little disgusted, which made Hongmei even more confused.

Jia Min had breakfast here, so he put on a coat and a sable fur cloak and stood under the eaves of the porch to watch the snow. There was not much snow last winter, and the plum blossoms had not yet bloomed when it snowed, but now, the plum blossoms are blooming just right, and Jia Min has the idea of stepping on the snow to enjoy the plum blossoms.

"Yao Huang, you went and called the people in the courtyard to hurry up to the front hall, and I will go to Meilin after rewarding the red envelope."

Yao Huang said with a disapproving face, "Girl, what are you doing in Merlin with such a big snow, if you freeze, grandmother will have to scold the slave to death!" ”

"Bah, bah, under the New Year, what nonsense!" Jia Min pulled her and hurriedly patted the wood. "It's not cold at all when I dress like this, and if I change into deerskin boots, I won't freeze my feet. Let the Mo Lan sisters go with them, and they are not afraid of slipping and falling. ”

Yao Huang looked at her with great interest, and said, "If grandmother agrees, the girl will go!" ”

Jia Min rushed to tell Wan Mo, Wan Mo saw that it was rare for her to have such a happy time to play, so she agreed, called Mo Lan and Wei Zilai, and let people out. As soon as he walked to the door of Ripple Garden, Yao Huang chased him out and stuffed a small copper hand stove into Jia Min's hand, which made Jia Min's heart warm suddenly. smiled: "We Yao Huang are so intimate, I can't do without you, Ming'er, you are married, what can I do!" ”

Yao Huang suddenly shyly said, "Girl! Then he covered his face and ran, and the laughter of Jia Min and Mo Lan sisters came from behind him.

Jia Min's master and servant walked through the snow to find plums, and chose the exceptionally elegant plum branches, broke them, and brought them back to insert the bottle. Jia Min wandered in the plum forest, and suddenly all his worries disappeared, and the smile on his face was warm and soft, as if it could melt the ice and snow. It wasn't until Dongmei came to look for her and Mrs. Dao asked her to go over to meet the guests that she left unsatisfied.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it should be the day to go back to his parents' home, but since this year, the Jia family has not gone to Jia's mother's maiden family's historical house, but has changed it to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. Because this year, Lin Ruhai is going to come to Rongguo Mansion on the second day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, although he is not married, Jia Min and Lin Ruhai have already been decided, and the wedding date is set for the sixth day of the next month, so Jia Daishan also treats him as a serious son-in-law.

Lin Ruhai arrived at the Rongguo Mansion at the end of the day, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng greeted them at the gate together, and the three of them went straight to Rongxi Hall when they entered the door. The rest of the Jia family was in the Rongxi Hall at this time, and when the Wang family saw Lin Ruhai wearing a gray squirrel skin cloak and stepping into the main hall of the Xixi Hall, the whole person was stunned, and his eyes were stupid. Fortunately, Biyun nudged Wang's hand, otherwise it would be a big joke.

Lin Ruhai took off his cloak and stepped forward to kowtow to Jia Daishan and his wife, "Little son-in-law Ruhai gives New Year's greetings to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and wishes his father-in-law and mother-in-law a prosperous New Year!" Jia Daishan happily helped him up and stuffed a red envelope into him, and Jia's mother also smiled and gave a red envelope.

Lin Ruhai met with Zhang's and Wang's again, and finally greeted Jia Min, and handed Jia Min a red envelope, "Take it, press the New Year's money!" ”

Jia Min didn't dare to accept it in front of everyone, and said with a red face: "This is not in accordance with the rules!" There was a hint of coquettishness in his tone.

Lin Ruhai smiled silently, but had no intention of taking it back, Jia Daishan felt sour when he saw this, but he was also happy for Lin Ruhai's intentions for his daughter. So he said: "This is not too much, we are all here, let's keep it, it is also a heart of the sea." Jia Min accepted it when she saw Jia Daishan's words, and didn't forget to glare at Lin Ruhai, she looked at Lin Ruhai with three points of joy, three points of shyness, and three points of coquettishness, which provoked Lin Ruhai to have a little weak legs, and the smile on her face deepened.

After a few words of greeting, Jia Daishan took the men to the front yard, and Jia Min and Wang were reluctant. Jia Min turned his head and felt disgusted when he saw Wang's appearance, now Wang's is still young and vigorous, he will not restrain his emotions, and he can't be happy and angry. But that's it, I didn't find anything wrong with her in the previous life, no wonder Lin Ruhai I said that she had a smart brain in vain and couldn't use it after the early death of her young son.

Zhang's stomach is still shallow, but the pregnancy is not very good, and he vomits when he eats something, so he has lost a lot of weight recently, and Jia's mother saw her tired, so she asked her to go back to rest, and she didn't have to come over today. Wang secretly pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law still has to focus on the heirs, I will help my mother take care of the affairs in the house, and the sister-in-law just needs to raise the fetus with peace of mind." ”

Mother Jia's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "What your brother and sister said is that you will raise a baby in your hospital in the future, and your brother and sister are in charge of the housekeeper's affairs, you just have to give birth to my good grandson." ”

Although the Zhang family is gentle, they are not stupid, she knows that Jia Mu is taking the opportunity to take away her stewardship, and the Wang family has long been staring at the stewardship from the side, although she is reluctant to hand it over, she knows that it will be difficult to hand it over and then come back. But as Wang said, everything must be given priority to the heirs, and besides, she wants this stewardship for the sake of the child.

"My mother pities my daughter-in-law, and my younger brothers and sisters kindly share my worries, what else do I have to say, after all, women still have to focus on their children!"

When Jia Mu and Wang heard this, they both looked at Zhang meaningfully. Wang said in his heart: "This Zhang family is not easy to bully!" ”

Mother Jia didn't want to see Mother Jia and Wang's calculation of Zhang's family, so she said: "Sister-in-law's face is not good, I'll send my sister-in-law back to rest!" ”

Mother Jia glanced at Jia Min, then looked at Zhang's stomach, and finally waved them away.

Lunch was placed in the flower hall of Rongxi Hall, and it was still divided between men and women, separated by a screen. In order to save face for his daughter today, Jia Daishan proposed that everyone pair up at the table. Jia Yu said: "I'll confess first, I'm the most impatient to read, don't say the right pair, I can't read all the words when I read the book!" I won't participate, I watch the excitement, watch the excitement. ”

Jia Zheng has read books for several years, and often feasts and drinks with some literati in Beijing, and it is also common for him to compose poems and pair pairs during banquets, and his works are also sought after. But he didn't know that those who pursued him were just currying up to him for his identity as the second master of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Daishan proposed a pair, and he readily agreed, and he still had the intention of competing with Tanhualang in his heart. On the side of the female dependents, Jia Min has read the book seriously, Jia Mu and the Wang family are just not blind, naturally only Jia Min participated! Wang's teeth itched, and he almost broke a pair of ivory chopsticks.

Jia Daishan said: "Let's just have fun at home, we don't have to come up with any difficult questions, let's take spring as the theme, I'll come up with one first." Jia Daishan thought for a moment and had "spring is always there all year round"

Jia Zheng said first, "I have it, and thousands of purple and red flowers will bloom forever"

Lin Ruhai was amused in his heart, and he was a little disdainful of this second uncle's self-esteem, so he said yes and drank a glass of wine. Over there, Jia Min also pouted lightly, and did the same. Jia Zheng was suddenly a little complacent, Jia Daishan shook his head when he saw it, this stupid son, he didn't know it when he was seen as a joke, and he was still stupid there!

The next thing is Jia Zheng's question, he came up with one, and no one matched him, so he felt that he was no worse than Tanhualang's talent, but he was just unlucky. Jia Daishan didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, but Jia's mother was happy over there, as if "my son's books have not been read in vain over the years, and he is a real talent."

Jia Min sneered in her heart, this is a sarcasm that Lin Ruhai is not well deserved, she can't let people belittle her husband.

"I have a couplet here, and a branch of red plum stained with spring snow"

Jia Daishan shook his head and sighed helplessly, Jia Mu smiled provocatively at Jia Min, Jia Zheng was stunned on the spot, but Lin Ruhai was happy in his heart.
