Chapter 20 Catch the Week
Since Jia Min went to Yangzhou, Baoyu has one more job in her daily life - counting the day of Daiyu's birth with her fingers or toes, sometimes Hou Ji is confused, and then the latest date is re-recorded from the words of others, and this year, the most things that appear in the mouths of the girls are related to Jia Zhu.
For example, in October, Jia Zhu became a showman, and they said: "Baoyu, look at how well your eldest brother reads, you will go to the pavilion to worship the prime minister in the future, you will grow up to be better than your brother's reading, and you will also earn a good life for the second grandmother." ”
Now the Shi family in the house is a super princess, but because Jia Zheng is only six grades, the Wang family does not have a high-level title.
For example, in November, Li Jia Zhu got married, and the daughter-in-law was the young lady of the family of Li Shouzhong, the son of the country's priest wine, and they said: "The eldest brother has Li Sacrificial Wine as his father-in-law, so why worry that he will not win the champion in the future, and I don't know what kind of person this future grandmother is." ”
Yes, Jia Zhu wants to marry a wife, and the titles of the masters in the house will be changed, and in the future, Shi is the old lady, Wang is the wife, Jia He Jia Zheng is the eldest master and the second master, and the original Brother Zhu, Brother Lian, and eldest sister have also been replaced by Uncle Zhu, Second Master Lian, the eldest girl, only Baoyu, and she is still called Baoyu.
After the whole family was collectively promoted, a lively New Year, after the sting, everything sprouted, the weather gradually warmed, the yard, the color in front of the house and behind the house gradually increased, to the end of February, a letter from the south was sent, saying that Jia Min gave birth to a sister half a month ago.
Mother Jia, that is, Mrs. Shi, was quite disappointed, she was looking forward to Jia Min being able to get a man in one fell swoop, but the person who came to report the news said that her uncle heard that she had given birth to a sister, and she was also very happy, and said that Mrs. Gu was all right, and Mother Jia was relieved, because it was the first time that Lin Ruhai and Jia Min sent people back after arriving in Yangzhou, so the gift was quite rich, and the gift list alone was a thick stack, Yangzhou was rich in products, and there were several cars loaded with various specialties alone, in addition to the unique gold and jade toys and tea silk in the south of the Yangtze River. There were even a lot of Western gadgets, and Jia's mother ordered someone to clean them up, and they were distributed in each room, and the rest were returned to the warehouse.
Baoyu here, Jia Mu sent a Western ship over, not to mention how to do it, the strange thing is that the boat has its own bracket, which is wound and put into the water, and can travel by itself. When the weather was warm, Baoyu was wrapped tightly, and was carried to the yard by the nurse, and the boat was placed in the water tank in the yard, and the girls pointed to Baoyu, although Baoyu said that she had seen a lot of these things a long time ago, but because it was sent by her aunt, she thought of her aunt and thought of Sister Lin, so she was also very excited, and the nurse smiled: "Baoyu likes boats, can you take them yourself?" ”
Baoyu has been eleven months, he has been able to stand firmly on the ground, helping people can move two steps by themselves, if it is not so cold today, there are fewer clothes to wear, listening to the nurse say this, he struggled to get off the ground, the nurse put him down, and ordered the two little girls to help him slowly walk towards the water tank, he walked with two small short legs, trembling and trembling, and the people standing next to him involuntarily bent down, in case he stood unstable to support.
Finally walked to the courtyard, turned around, saw Jia Mu standing at the door looking at him and laughing, he was happy, while pointing to the boat in the tank, he grinned and shouted at Jia Mu: "Bed...... Boat! "Because the pronunciation is not good, the pronunciation is not standard.
Jia's mother was overjoyed, walked up a few steps and hugged him and said: "Oh, our Baoyu can talk, come on, call grandmother, grandmother~mother~"
Baoyu tried to open his mouth, tried hard for a long time, but only made a vague sound, and he felt embarrassed, so he took his hand to understand it, and his small cover was incomplete, and he secretly looked out from his fingers. It's okay, you're still young, just learn slowly. ”
Then he said to the girls: "In the future, you will lead Baoyu to speak more, he is the time to learn to speak, talk to him more and learn quickly." ”
The nurse came up and said, "The old lady give me Baoyu, now he is growing faster and heavier, don't press your arm to hurt." As he spoke, he took Baoyu from Jia's mother's arms.
Jia Mu said: "No, Baoyu will be one year old next month, so you have to prepare for life, this is a big day." ”
The big day is coming in a blink of an eye, early in the morning, the nurse will feed Baoyu to the full, and also pulled the pee, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Fang put on a set of red clothes for him, put two golden bracelets on his hands, of course, there is a piece of beautiful jade hanging around his neck, check it properly, and hold it to Jia's mother, Jia's mother has looked at it carefully, and Fang hugged it to the main hall.
Although no outsiders were invited, but because Jia's mother paid attention to it, the family came relatively well, except for the masters of Rongguo Mansion, even Jia Jing and his wife Zhang from Ningguo Mansion, Jia Jing's son Jia Zhen and his stepwife You Shi, Jia Zhen's original son Jia Rong all came over, and sat in a room full of people.
When Baoyu was carried out, he was shocked by the room full of people, this is the first time he has seen so many people in his life, and there are Zhang and other things he has never seen before, this eldest aunt of Dongfu has been absent since he can remember, she is the biological mother of Jia Zhen and Jia Xichun, it should be that Xichun died as soon as she was born, counting Xichun's age, this eldest aunt will only be two or three years old. The eldest uncle who was fond of alchemy and wanted to be an immortal had not yet lived in the Xuanzhen Temple outside the capital, and the current family did not look as ridiculous as it would have been, but Baoyu knew that since the day he was born, the day of the decline of the Jia family was not far away.
After turning around, his eyes returned to the closer, and he saw the eldest sister Yuan Chun next to his mother, Mrs. Wang, looking at him with a smile on his face, Baoyu also smiled back, but halfway through the smile, remembering that the eldest sister was about to enter the palace, and couldn't laugh anymore, Yuan Chun looked at his distorted smiling face, and was even happier.
At one moment, two stout mothers-in-law carried a large table in, and this was the main activity of the day - catching the week. Baoyu looked over to the table and saw that it was on it
Seals, four books and five classics, pens, ink, paper, inkstones, bows and arrows, abacus, coins, account books, jewelry, rouge, etc., the rest is fine, but Baoyu saw the box of rouge in the beautiful box at a glance.
In his previous life, he caught the rouge because of Zhou, and has been teased by many people, and now he catches Zhou, and finally sees it again, but a bunch of items are placed on the table in a mess, most of them are dusty, and they are not good-looking, at a glance, the most beautiful and eye-catching is jewelry and rouge, if a child grabs it by instinct, it is estimated that it is not rouge or jewelry, right?
