Volume 2 - Chapter 52 Jiafu Family Banquet (1)
Mother Jia was busy laughing and said: "Your sister Lin went to Jiangnan to worship her ancestors, and she came back yesterday, I just wanted your sister Lin to go to Jiangnan, and when I came back, our girls happened to have a good day, so I took you over." ”
Xiangyun hurriedly smiled: "It can be seen that the old lady still loves Sister Lin, not us, but just to let Sister Lin's light be happy for a day, when will the old lady also deliberately put wine and food for me for a day, so that Sister Lin and Sister Bao are stained with my light?" ”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, and Tanchun said: "It can be seen that we are all inferior to Sister Lin." ”
Mother Jia hurriedly smiled and hugged Xiangyun and Tanchun in her arms, and said with a smile: "My son, are you complaining about my unfairness?" I just think that your sister Lin has no parents since she was a child and lives in our house, how can she be wronged by her, and naturally it hurts more, besides, Lin Yatou's mother went before me, and I sent a black man to a white man, can I not be sad? With that, she wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
Xiangyun hurriedly said: "It's all mine, it's not me, but the old lady is sad." ”
"I'm not sad, I'm just ...... As soon as I saw your sister Lin, I didn't just think of her mother, how much more could I hurt her? Hey......" said with a sigh.
Speaking of fatherless and motherless, Shi Xiangyun's eyes were not only red, but seeing that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were waiting on the side, if it was not, there would be gossip when she went back to her aunt, and the old lady was old after all, so she couldn't make her sad, so she could only endure it herself. ^^^^ comforted Jia's mother with kind words.
"Sister Bao, I don't know if you will open a poetry club today? It's the weather now, and it's just when Yin Meihua ---- me in. Walking through the road from behind, I saw the plum blossoms that opened the ground very well, Brother Bao. Wait a minute, you have to ask for a few sticks to come over and insert the bottle. Xiangyun smiled, "Do you remember when we joined a poem in Luxue Pavilion that year?" ”
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Let's go, don't mention composing poems, I'm doing it once, I'm punishing it once, and I even swept your basement house, what else do you have to do?" I will do what you do, and I will not do it. I'll lay paper and ink for you. ”
"That paper grinding is my business, and Brother Bao can't rob it." Sister Feng joked.
"That's it. On such a cold day, who has the kung fu to play that? It's better for everyone to laugh for a while. Tanchun smiled, "If you're really happy, anyway, Yun Yatou will stay here for a few days, and in a few days, we will invite Sister Lin to go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion for a few days, and the two of you will stay together." How many poems can't be done? ”
Xiangyun not only asked in surprise: "Could it be that Sister Lin doesn't live in our house?" ”
Baochai put down the teacup in his hand and sneered softly: "Old Aunt Lin left her a house in the capital, so she naturally moved out to live." ****”
"Oh?" Xiangyun was very curious, looked at Baoyu and asked, "Brother Bao, even so." Didn't you keep your sister Lin? Wouldn't it be inconvenient for her to live outside alone? Even if there is a house in the capital. Isn't it troublesome that no one has lived in it for so many years, so naturally there is less cleaning? ”
Baoyu smiled a little unnaturally: "It's okay......" He had been to the Qingyao Courtyard, and naturally quickly found out that the mansion was not left in front of Lin Ruhai, and he didn't know if the Lin family had a house in the capital, but he knew that the Qingyao Courtyard was originally owned by the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was originally the Taidang, and after His Majesty the current Emperor ascended the throne, he was naturally reused, and he didn't look at a hereditary family like Jiafu very much.
In the end, the Grand View Garden of Jiafu can only go around the house, and another ironic thing is that ---- now the Grand View Garden in the interior of the Nunnery, does not belong to the foundation of Jiafu, the Nunnery does not occupy much, but it is a private nunnery, and the nunnery outside the west of the city is a family, it is said that there are other nunnery, but they are all owned by that Miaoyu.
That Miaoyu is even more quirky, ordinary people are difficult to enter her eyes, and the nunnery is naturally not enshrined by incense, but Miaoyu seems to be very rich, since she came to Jia's mother, Mrs. Wang thought that she agreed to encircle the cui nunnery into the Grand View Garden, but she couldn't treat her badly, so Sister Feng also sorted out the girls every month, and sent her two taels of silver every month, but Miaoyu retreated untouched, saying that she still had it, and when she didn't have it, she would naturally ask for it from Jiafu.
Mrs. Wang just laughed and let her go. Originally, Baoyu didn't care, but now that I think about it, this Miaoyu is really not an ordinary monster.
Since the nunnery where she lives does not accept incense offerings, where does her daily expenses come from? Could it be that the sky will fall? It is said that this Miaoyu was originally a young lady from a certain fragrant family in Gusu, and when she wanted to become a monk, she naturally brought a lot of silver, but ----it stands to reason that even if her daughter is a monk, if her parents are still there, she is reluctant after all, and Gusu is not separated from the capital by 108,000 miles, even if the parents do not come to see their daughter in person, they should call someone to ask.
But Miaoyu has been in Daguanyuan for so many years, and no outsider has ever come to see her, let alone any relatives in Gusu.
"Where is the banquet today?" Jia Mu asked Li Kun.
"In those three big flower halls on the east side, what does the ancestor think?" Li Kun stood up and replied.
"It's good there, don't sit still, hurry up and clean up, Baoyu, you go over and pick up your sister Lin and second sister together." Jia Mu instructed Baoyu Dao.
"Second sister is coming too?" Xiangyun asked busily.
"Yes. Your second sister came over yesterday, living with your sister Lin, and came over today to have a good day. Jia Mu explained with a smile.
Baoyu promised to go out, and when she didn't have a stick of incense, she heard Yingchun laughing and didn't know what to whisper, but Baoyu laughed, and Lin Daiyu's voice came from outside: "Such a big person, and I haven't seen a serious girl Pearl has already opened the curtain, Baoyu let Daiyu and Yingchun come in first, and then entered the room, smiled and returned to Jia's mother: "When I passed, Sister Lin and Second Sister had already come, and complained that I was late."
Daiyu was wearing a big red feather satin at first sight, Yingchun was still wearing yesterday's mink coat, the two came in hand in hand, first to the old lady to say goodbye, and after seeing everyone, the daughter-in-law of the Sun family had already come over, helped Yingchun take off her coat, and went out to wait, Daiyu only brought snow geese and purple juan over, but the rest of the girls did not bring any of them.
