Chapter 101: Provincial Relatives
Baoyu and Daiyu went into the house and continued to clean up the house, and the others returned to Jiangyunxuan, and Jiang Yan stayed in Lin Daiyu's house and packed up the big boxes of books with Xue Yan and others. They couldn't just work with their heads bored, and they chatted while sharing their books.
A room full of maids have never been far away, and they are very curious about Snow Goose's trip to Yangzhou and Suzhou, and chase her to ask about the customs of these two places.
The snow geese told some interesting stories they had encountered on the road, and the maids hurriedly asked her to tell some more.
Xue Yan smiled: "Half of the time in the past six months has been on the road, and the others are all at home with the girl, so there is nothing to say." However, the scenery in Yangzhou is very different from that in Beijing, but unfortunately I also took a few looks when I entered the city, and then I didn't have a chance. ”
Chunxian asked her: "Speaking of Yangzhou, it's your hometown, you should remember a lot." ”
"What do you remember," Xue Yan sighed and said, "Although I didn't come to the capital with the girl until I was ten years old over there, I was in the Lin Mansion before, and I hadn't been outside much. ”
Jiang Yan thought to herself that the snow geese were like this, how could it be the same for Lin Daiyu, compared to Yangzhou, which is not familiar to anyone, but the Jiafu with Jia's mother and Baoyu and others is more intimate, coupled with her dislike of mundane things, it is really not difficult for the people of Jiafu to seek to seize her family property.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed, Jiang Yan held a stack of books and put them on the bookshelf, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin really loves books, looking at so much luggage, I thought there would be some other things, but I didn't expect a few boxes to be full of books." ”
Xue Yan smiled: "No, the girl doesn't care about anything else, she only moved the books in the two houses in Yangzhou and Suzhou." ”
Looking at it like this, Daiyu really entrusted her entire net worth to the Jia family, but it's a pity that others have failed to live up to this trust.
Over there, Jia Lian saw Jia pardon, Jia Zheng and others, and went to his own yard, these days are the time when Jiafu is troublesome, everything depends on Wang Xifeng, she is busy without a moment of leisure, but Jia Lian has returned from a long way, and their young husband and wife have not seen each other for more than half a year, so they naturally want to squeeze out time to meet him.
As soon as Jia Lian entered the courtyard, he saw Wang Xifeng dressed in a pink and pink dress, wearing a pink and dark flower silk jacket, wearing a red flower and a butterfly gown.
Jia Lian saw his wife and concubine, and the fatigue of the journey was gone, so he hurriedly stepped across the courtyard and took Wang Xifeng's hand into the house.
Before he could speak, Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Uncle Guo is very happy!" Uncle Guo has worked hard all the way. The little one heard the Malay newspaper from yesterday's head, saying that he had returned home today, and had prepared a glass of water and wine to dust off, and he didn't know if he could give him a light face? ”
Jia Lian smiled and said: "How dare you, thank you for the second grandmother's love." ”
Ping'er and all the maids and ginseng also came in to meet Jia Lian, and after they served tea and retreated, Jia Lian asked Wang Xifeng about the things at home after he left, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, otherwise I don't know what the chaos will be in this house." ”
Wang Xifeng was naturally polite, "I can take care of these things there!" The knowledge is shallow, the quarrel is stupid, the person is young, and he has not experienced any major events, but he can barely support it. She glanced at Jia Lian, "It's you, it's not easy to be outside these days." ”
Jia Lian knew what she was talking about, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I'm used to dealing with these things, and when you go to see your wife later, you will say that things are ready, just wait for the news to come down." ”
Jia Lian asked again: "I didn't know what I said in the last letter, is this matter already accurate?" Otherwise, it will be difficult for the old lady to explain. ”
Wang Xifeng glanced at him and said, "How do I know about this, it's all the eunuch Xia they saw, and I ordered you directly, I just listened to it." However, because Niangniang has been with Long En recently, those eunuchs are very polite to the old man, and there should be no mistake, but the holy decree has not come down. Let's prepare early, we can't really do it, so we are looking for money. As for the old lady, she doesn't care about the middle feed in the house now, and she can't notice it for a while, and when the matter is decided, it will be said that the left and right are her own family, and we really can't help it. ”
Jia Lian nodded, "Yes, anyway, you have to enter our mansion sooner or later." ”
The two were talking, only to hear someone talking outside, Wang Xifeng asked, "Who is outside?" “
Ping'er came in and replied: "Mrs. Aunt sent Sister Xiangling to ask me a word, I have already said it, send her back." ”
Wang Xifeng knew that something was wrong, Aunt Xue knew that Jia Lian came back, how could she let Xiangling, the concubine, come over, it was estimated that Ping'er hypothesized that Xiangling was coming, but she was silent and only let her go down.
Jia Lian didn't think there was anything wrong, but it was a pity that such a beauty was ruined by Xue Da Fool, and Wang Xifeng also echoed the pity for Xiangling.
The couple was talking about these gossips, and suddenly the second door reported to the small servant: "The master is waiting for the second master in the big study." ”
Jia Lian listened to it and hurriedly dressed and went out. When I arrived at the big study, I saw Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng, and Jia Zhen were there, Jia Lian was stunned when he saw it, Jia Zheng was not surprised, the other two were rare to appear in a place like the study, what was the big deal?
Before he could figure it out, Jia Zheng said with a happy face: "The two old saints have made a will, and the concubines in the palace have gone home to save their relatives." ”
……
Niangniang can save relatives, and the matter of building a provincial family courtyard in the house has spread all over the house at once, and the Jia Mansion is even more popular because of the fact that Yuanchun sealed the concubine. The people in the house are also talking about this matter, even if Baoyu is not enthusiastic, it can't stop the maids from yearning for this matter.
At noon that day, when everyone finished eating and chatting together, they couldn't help but talk about this headline in Jiafu again.
Raider: "Our mother is really lucky, just after being crowned a concubine, she met such a good thing that has never happened since ancient times." ”
"Who said it wasn't, I couldn't believe it when I first heard about it, where had I heard of such a thing, but I didn't expect it to come true now." Musk Yue said: "I heard that the old man has agreed, from the east area, through the Dongfuli Garden, turn to the north, a total of measurements, three and a half miles old, and build a provincial pro-courtyard there." ”
Bi Jin smiled: "Then your news is not as well-informed as mine, I heard that the Dongfu side has sent Uncle Qiang to Gusu." ”
"What does Xia Gusu do?" Everyone was puzzled, "Is there anything we can't do in Beijing?" ”
Bi Jin glanced at them, "Of course some things are good in Gusu, besides, you think that our family is busy building provincial villas!" ”
