Chapter 0336: The Princely Family
Shangjing, north of the street.
There is a door, squatting two big stone lions, three beast head gates, but the main gate is not open, only the east and west corner doors are in and out.
There is a plaque above the main entrance, and the plaque has five big characters in the big book "Ningguo Mansion".
When Jia Min saw this gate, he was immediately proud: "Daiyu, this is Jia's big house." ”
Lin Daiyu and the little yellow cat looked at it.
"It's huge!"
"Meow!"
So much to eat!
"Lele, this is someone else's house, you are not allowed to eat indiscriminately!" Lin Daiyu warned.
"Meow!" The little yellow cat's face was full of sincerity.
Don't worry, I only eat what I pick up, it's all that no one wants.
Lin Daiyu was stunned and a little embarrassed.
If no one wants it, it should be okay to eat, right?
Go west again, not far away, there are still three gates, and the Rongguo Mansion is the party.
But he did not enter the main gate, but entered the west corner gate. The palanquin man carried him in, and walked a shot, and when he was about to turn the corner, he stopped and retreated. The mothers-in-law in the back have all gotten off the sedan chair and caught up. Another three or four seventeen or eighteen-year-old servants came up and lifted the sedan chair again.
The mothers-in-law stepped down and gathered in front of a hanging flower door.
The little girl withdrew, and the mothers-in-law came up to open the sedan curtain and helped Daiyu and Jia Min get off the sedan chair.
"No, I'm not more familiar here than you?" Jia Min said casually, and then took her daughter's hand and walked directly inside.
Entering the hanging flower door, on both sides is the hand-copying verandah, in the middle is the hall, and there is a large insert of red sandalwood shelf marble on the ground. Turning the interstitial screen, there are three small halls, and behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back.
The five upper rooms in the front are all withered beams and painted buildings, and the wings of the verandah through the mountains on both sides are hung with various colored parrots, thrushes and other birds.
On the top of the steps, there were several girls dressed in red and green.
When Jia Min came in, these birds and finches panicked one by one, some flew and screamed, and some excreted everywhere, and after a while, the girls were embarrassed and screamed.
The little yellow cat grinned and smiled evilly.
These people are looking at the top one by one, just to see that they are unhappy.
The Jia family is not allowed to exist better than me!
"Ouch, my aunt, why did you come back with a cat?" An old man in brocade clothes came out of the door and complained softly to Jia Min.
Jia Min smiled: "Manager Lai, I haven't seen you for so many years, your eyes are becoming more and more unique, and you can see my family's Lele at a glance." ”
Lai laughed: "Miss, the old lady is waiting in the back room, you give this cat to the old slave, I will take good care of it for you." ”
Jia Min smiled and groaned, but did not answer.
This Lai's eldest mother, Mama Lai, is a maid who was sold into Jiafu, and Mama Lai is an old servant who has served the old master of Jiafu, who is smart and capable, and has won the trust and praise of Jia's mother.
Because of this, Lai Da and his brother Lai Er served as the governors of Rong and Ning respectively.
In her eyes, this Lai Da was very good and very happy, but for some reason, now that she looks at it, this person laughs a little crazy.
It seems to be a fat and huge rat looking at the plump rice barn, greedy and indifferent.
Lai laughed for a while, and when he met Jia Min's eyes, he gradually couldn't laugh, and even chilled.
"Big, big lady?" Lai Da asked pitifully.
Jia Min waved his hand: "It's okay." ”
The water spilled by the married daughter, the affairs of the Jia family and her current relationship are not too big, as long as the mother is doing well.
"Go, drive away all those birds and birds, Lele is my husband's treasure, and no one can take it away." Jia Min ordered.
"But these birds and finches are the old lady's favorite." Lai Da was a little too lazy to move, and explained casually.
In Rongguo Mansion, only the old lady's order will he immediately obey it.
Jia Min took a deep look at him, probed it casually, pushed him aside, and was about to pull Daiyu inside.
Lai Da, who was just about to block the way, suddenly felt an unrivaled force attacking him.
"Plop, pop~winter~"
Looking at Lai Da, who fell more than a foot away, smashed a pot of flowers, broke a pillar, and cried and wailed on the ground, Jia Min raised his hand and looked at it, soft and white, and then fell into deep thought.
Play me???
After a while, two maids greeted an old lady with silver sideburns, who was the Taijun of the Shi family, the mother of Jia Yu and Jia Zheng, and the old housewife of the Jia family.
"Okay, you're a girl, as soon as you come, you'll make a lot of trouble, if no one stops you, do you have to demolish the house." When the old lady came out, she raised her eyebrows and scolded.
Jia Min hurriedly stepped forward and said coquettishly: "Mother, this Mr. Lai is lying to you, look at my small body, where did I get so much strength?" ”
The old lady looked up and down at her daughter, who she hadn't seen for a long time, although she was in her thirties, her complexion was ruddy, her skin was white and greasy, and her body was delicate and pretty, such a girl really didn't look like it.
Then he turned his head to Mr. Lai and scolded: "Okay, you are a big Lai, my girl will give me a heart on the first day she comes back, don't get out of here!" ”
Everyone rules, the following crimes are capital crimes, but since the old lady is in charge, she is merciful and kind, and the people are also much more presumptuous.
For Lai Da's pitiful eyes, since the old lady has seen through it, she will not punish or compensate.
Lai Da: ......
Two subordinates came out next to him and hurriedly carried Lai Da down, and the maid who followed behind admired this Lai Da manager.
Look at this wound, as well as the shouts, expressions, and movements, it is really like it! It's a pity not to sing this talent.
"Mother, look at your grandson, Lin Enran, and your granddaughter, Lin Daiyu." When the idlers left, Jia Min pointed out the son in his arms and the daughter on the side to his mother.
Although Lin Enran is three years old, his body is weak, and Jia Min has been holding him.
I don't know why, I obviously invited a nurse, but this child just doesn't grow.
And every time I see Lele, I cry.
It's weird!
The old lady stretched out her hand to touch her daughter's face, her eyes were covered with tears: "Good daughter, I have suffered you all these years!" ”
As a person who has come over, she knows the pressure of not being able to give birth to a child as a housemother. This is the sin of committing the seven sins of a human wife, if she is divorced, how will she behave in the future.
(Seven outs: childlessness, adultery, indifference to aunts, tongue, theft, jealousy, and evil disease.) Ancient customs have nothing to do with modern times, without any insinuations and discontents. )
When Jia Min heard this, she couldn't stop her tears, and threw herself into the old lady's arms: "Mother! ”
At the moment, the people who were standing all hid their faces and wept, and Daiyu couldn't stop crying, and she didn't know why she was crying.
】
The little yellow cat rolled her eyes, her daughter's house was easy to get out of the water, so she simply covered her ears and closed her eyes, and slept in the arms of the shoveler.
"Meow~"
Call me when it's time to eat!
……
In the inner room, the old lady who had calmed down and Jia Min began to greet each other, and seeing that Lin Daiyu's little one was lonely on the side, she ordered: "Please girls." Today, the distant visitors have only come, so they don't have to go to school. ”
The maids who were waiting around said yes, and two of them went out.
After a while, I saw three grandmothers and five or six maids, surrounded by three sisters.
The first skin is slightly plump, the body is in the middle, the cheeks are condensed with new li, the nose is greasy and goose fat, gentle and silent, and the view is amiable. It is Jia Yingchun, the daughter of Daiyu's uncle Jia Yu.
The second has shaved shoulders and a thin waist, a long figure, a duck egg face, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and looks forward to Shenfei. It is Jia Yuanchun, the daughter of the second uncle Jia Zheng.
The third is not enough, the description is still small, the hairpin ring skirt, and the daughter of the second uncle is called Tanchun.
As the old lady had instructed, the four little girls gathered aside and chattered.
After a while, Lin Daiyu took out the little yellow cat from her arms and began to show off.
"You see, my family is very happy, and when I came over today, the birds in the yard were frightened and panicked."
Seeing such a cute little animal, the girls were immediately moved, and they stepped forward one by one to touch and kiss them.
The youngest Tanchun was not convinced: "What is it to be able to drive away birds and sparrows?" I used to have a dog that could catch mice. ”
"Lele can also catch it, last time I asked him what he was doing next to my bath, and he said he was catching mice!" Lin Daiyu was unconvinced.
Miaole: ......
"Then my dog can still eat, can you be happy?" Tanchun forked his waist, very proud.
Lin Daiyu was stunned: "Hmph, my Jia Lele licked ...... last time"
"Meow~" The little yellow cat jumped directly onto her shoulder, and blocked the mouth with its tail stretched.
How do you talk about everything?
"Wow!" Lin Daiyu just cried directly.
In front of outsiders, Lele didn't even give her face.
Hearing the cry, Jia Min looked over and didn't get up with a smile.
When my daughter saw it, she was bullied by Lele again, which was good.
The old lady stopped talking.
Yuan Chun was a little panicked, and stepped forward to hug Lin Daiyu to comfort: "Okay, okay, it's okay, your family is the best, but why doesn't he let you speak?" ”
Lin Daiyu's eyes were red, and she said with a crying voice: "Lele didn't stop me from talking, he was playing with me." ”
Three daughters: ......
Who did you learn this mouth from, and how are you a bit similar to Brother Jia Lian?
Every time he was kicked out by his sister-in-law, he also said that he locked his daughter-in-law in the house in a fit of anger.
Before I could say a word, I heard someone laughing in the backyard and said, "I'm too late to greet a distant guest!" ”
The maids serving next to them suddenly fell silent.
Daiyu Nahan said: "These people are all holding their breath, solemn and solemn, who is this coming, such a birthday?" ”
When I was thinking about it, I saw a group of daughters-in-law and maids surrounding a person coming in through the back door. This person is dressed differently from the girls, the colorful embroidery is brilliant, like a fairy concubine, a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows, slender figure, coquettish physique.
Daiyu, who was sitting outside, hurriedly got up with the three girls to meet her.
Jia Mu introduced with a smile: "This one, but a well-known pimple in the family, commonly known as 'spicy' in Southern Province, you just call him 'Feng Spicy'." ”
Dai Yuzheng didn't know what to call him, but all the sisters hurriedly told him: "This is Sister-in-law Lian." ”
Although Daiyu didn't know it, she had heard her mother say that Jia Lian, the son of her uncle Jia Yu, was married to the niece of her second uncle's mother, Wang's family, who had been raised as a boy since she was a child, and her scientific name was Wang Xifeng.
With her mother behind her and Lele on her chest, Daiyu was very confident, no one was afraid, and she politely said: "Sister-in-law." ”
Wang Xifeng took Daiyu's hand, looked up and down carefully, and when he saw the kitten with his chest high, his expression froze, and after a while, he smiled: "There is really such a sign of villain in the world, I will only see it today!" ”
Lin Daiyu was suddenly a little shy, but Lele kept saying that she looked mediocre.
Hmph, Stinky Lele!
When acquaintances met, everyone greeted each other again.
Between women, even if they look down on each other in their hearts, complimenting each other is inevitable.
Everyone is close to each other, and they are all characters with heads and faces, and they may have to ask for others in the future, so naturally there will be no cynicism.
Then Jia Min took his children and got into a carriage to go to the courtyard of the two uncles to recognize the door.
It is a large courtyard again, with five large main rooms on it, and the side rooms on both sides, the deer top ear room, extending in all directions, and the magnificence is magnificent.
A big road, enter the hall, look up and see a red gold Kowloon green plaque, the plaque is written with three big characters of Douda, it is "Rongxi Hall", and there is a line of small characters at the back: "A certain year, month and day, the book is given to Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan", and there is "the treasure of Wanjichen Han".
On the big red sandalwood withered eucalyptus, there is a three-foot high blue-green bronze tripod, hanging to be leaked with the large painting of the Molong of the Dynasty, on one side is the golden dragon [wei] Yi [yi] (ancient ritual vessel), on the other side is the glazed tableware.
Sixteen Nanmu chairs in the ground, and there is a couplet, which is an ebony couplet, inlaid with chiseled silver handwriting, and the road is: the sun and the moon are jeweled on the seat, and the front of the hall is full of smoke and haze.
The following line of small characters reads: "The handwritten book of the fellow townsman and the world's religious brother Xun attacked the king of Dong'an County."
Standing in front of the hall, Jia Min pulled her daughter and froze, as if recalling the past when she was a child.
At that time, the old man was there, and the Jia family was the real everyone. Now, the brothers don't have anything to do, so they rely on the old lady to support them, and the military affairs outside even rely on an outsider, that is, Wang Xifeng's eldest brother, Wang Ziteng.
At home, the maid and housekeeper dare to bully the master. How long can such a Jia family be beautiful, and how long can it be inherited?
After a while, Daiyu's two aunts, Mrs. Xing, the wife of the eldest uncle, and Mrs. Wang, the wife of the second uncle, all came over to greet them warmly, drink tea and greet each other, and even gave Daiyu a meeting gift and a piece of silver, which was quite heavy.
Xiao Daiyu squeezed the envelope tightly, with a solemn expression, this time she must be smart, don't deceive Lele!
It's really a bad cat, and it will lie to the little girl!
But the two uncles were gone, and I don't know if it was because of important matters or other circumstances that they did not come back.
After a while, I saw a maid going back and forth: "The old lady has passed dinner there." ”
In the backyard, Jia Min brought a pair of children into the room, and many people were already waiting here.
The wife of Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second uncle Jia Zheng: Li's rice, Wang Xifeng's anzhen, and Mrs. Wang's soup. Jia's mother sat alone on the couch in front of her, with four empty chairs on both sides.
Wang Xifeng hurriedly pulled Jia Min to sit on the first chair on the left, and Jia Min was very pushing.
Jia Mu smiled: "You are a guest, you should sit like this." ”
Jia Min sighed and went home again, he was already a guest, so he had to pull Daiyu Fang to take a seat.
Mother Jia ordered Mrs. Wang to sit.
The three Yingchun sisters came up. Yingchun sits first on the right hand, third on the left to explore spring, and second on the right to cherish spring.
The maid next to her persistently brushes the dust, gargles, and towels, and comes forward to serve at any time.
Li and Feng stood beside the eucalyptus. Although there were many daughters-in-law and maids waiting outside, they didn't even hear a cough.
Lin Daiyu, who was holding a little yellow cat, saw for the first time what a real prince is.
Isn't it troublesome to have a meal with so many people waiting?
It's still good at home, and I grab food with Lele on the table, and sometimes the dishes can be overturned.
Of course, it's easy to get beaten this way.
Everyone in the Jia family, including those maids, was a little unhappy when they saw that Lin Daiyu didn't even eat, and first fed the kitten with the bowl used by the nobleman.
Small families, there are no rules.
How can a little yellow cat be qualified to eat with them, or even use these expensive utensils?
