Chapter 8 Mu Qiujia Mansion recognizes his relatives
"The old lady has been waiting for a while, and the two little ancestors have come into the house to talk!"
The person who spoke was the most useful big girl mandarin duck beside Jia's mother. After saying that, he led the two of them to the house.
Xu Muqiu was a guest, so he was a little inferior and walked behind. Looking at Lin Daiyu who was walking in front, his heart was not calm at this time.
When I first saw her, I only looked like I was nine or ten years old. But even at such an innocent age, there is still a hint of sadness hidden between her eyebrows, which makes people feel distressed to look at.
Daiyu's beauty is unique, and the beauty is in the bones, not in the skin. A beauty should have beautiful bones, and her bones are only sorrowful.
Xu Muqiu only saw it at a glance, and he could be so sure that this woman was Lin Daiyu, the fairy of Zhuzhu, and it was the sorrow in her bones.
In a moment, several people came to the house. Lin Daiyu first said a blessing to Jia Mu and the others, and then walked straight to the position next to Jia Mu.
Xu Muqiu stood still in front of the hall, because the hall was full of female dependents, and he couldn't look around, so he could only calm down, staring at a pair of "Yanjiang Stacked Peaks" in the room, trying not to squint.
Speaking of the ladies in this house, wait until Daiyu sits down. Qi looked at the man who followed into the hall, and was very puzzled, who was coming? They were all waiting for him to report to his home, but after half an hour, there was still no sound in the hall.
I saw this man standing in front of the hall in a daze, staring at the landscape map on the wall, and he didn't know what he was looking at. looks handsome and extraordinary, but looking at this line, it is no different from a goose.
This is good, the room full of warblers and Yanyan all found this person very interesting, looked at each other, coaxed, and laughed.
Of course, Xu Muqiu heard the laughter of the ladies in the hall, and he was also curious about where the laughter came from, but it was not good to explore one or two.
He is a foreign man, and now he has a house of female dependents in Jiafu, so it is better to abide by the rules, so as not to make jokes.
Besides, even if Xu Muqiu and the two worlds were added together, he had never had the experience of being in the same room with so many women.
Judging from his slightly upright personality and almost zero experience, being in a daze is Xu Muqiu's best choice.
It was precisely because of Xu Muqiu's lack of experience in getting along with women that he didn't realize that when he first saw Ping'er and Daiyu, his eyes were staring at others, which was a little abrupt.
When a woman encounters such a situation, she is likely to feel that the man is interested in her. Therefore, Ping'er decided that Xu Muqiu was a disciple, but he was not condescending to him.
Just when Xu Muqiu was treated as a goose and watched by all the ladies in the hall, the old woman on the main seat in the house spoke out to help him out of the siege.
"What are you girls laughing at? If you don't squint, you are a gentleman. This kid is a polite person, don't be abrupt. ”
"Old lady, you don't want to wronged us, the sisters remembered the joke and couldn't help laughing, how did you surprise others?" A young woman hastened to answer.
"You Feng Lazi, Brother Qiu is a guest I invited, I think you took the lead in laughing at him, you should really punish you well."
It turned out that the old woman who relieved Xu Muqiu was the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, and she was also the real head of Rongguo Mansion.
Mother Jia in the Red Mansion, the old lady Shi.
The young woman who accosted her was Lian's second grandmother, who had just married into Rongguo Mansion the year before last, the famous Feng Lazi, Wang Xifeng.
Although Wang Xifeng said that it had only been a few years since he married into Jiafu, he was shrewd and had a clever tongue, and he won the favor of Jia's mother in two clicks, and he was very face-saving in front of Jia's mother. So in this kind of scene just now, Wang Xifeng rushed to answer, and cooperated with Jia Mu to easily resolve Xu Muqiu's embarrassing situation, which shows that he is really smart.
Xu Muqiu, who was standing in front of the hall, heard the conversation between the two, and most of the tension in his heart disappeared, and he raised his eyes to look at Jia Mu, who was sitting in the main seat in the hall.
Jia Mu looked at Xu Muqiu carefully and said with a smile.
"This is Brother Qiu, right? You've grown so big, I remember the last time I saw you, it was when you were four or five years old. ”
"Some time ago, I heard the old sister say that you will come back in a few days, I don't want to be coincidental, but I actually caught up with the birthday banquet of the old body, which shows that our ancestors and grandchildren are also deeply fateful!"
It turned out that although the two mansions of Xu and Jia had some scandals because of the matter of Prince Zhanghua, it was all between men, and if I thought about it carefully, Xu Lai, the Marquis of Pingbei, was only acting according to the order at that time, after all, the emperor's order was difficult to do. Everything is a matter of time and fate.
The Marquis of Pingbei broke the Northern Yuan, which can be regarded as slightly calming the anger of Taizu and helping the Rong and Ning Mansions. Otherwise, what will happen to the Jia family is still unknown?
It's just that looking at the infinite scenery of the Xu family, the Jia family is hated by the new emperor and is declining day by day. Rong Guogong has a hurdle in his heart that he can't get over.
But the two families did not restrict the exchange of female dependents. Don't look at Xu Muqiu's grandmother Zhang, she looks disgusted when she mentions Jiafu. But she and Jia's mother have been handkerchiefs for decades. Maybe this is the love of girlfriends that men can't understand, right?
Therefore, after Jia Mu saw Xu Muqiu, she showed extraordinary kindness, and she couldn't see him being bullied, so she spoke out to relieve the siege.
Xu Muqiu heard Jia's mother ask and replied.
"When the younger generation returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, my grandmother and mother told me that the old lady would celebrate her 70th birthday today. hurriedly prepared gifts and came to congratulate the old lady. Among them is a set of Han Dynasty jade bottles, which I personally selected to honor the old lady. The younger generation is here to wish the old lady a long life. ”
When Mother Jia saw Xu Muqiu, she talked calmly and moderately, and she was born so graceful, in all fairness, she was even more handsome than her own Baoyu.
As he gets older, Ben becomes more and more proud, a beautiful junior, not to mention the grandson of the old sister Zhang.
I saw Mother Jia waving her hand and beckoning Xu Muqiu to come and sit next to her, hugging him and asking him non-stop, you must know that the position next to Mother Jia is to be reserved for Baoyu. When everyone at the table saw this scene, they immediately understood Jia's mother's love for Xu Muqiu.
Jia Baoyu was called outside by the second master Jia Zheng just now to meet the guests, and he thought that he had already gone out to eat. Mother Jia still repeatedly told him to reserve a place, maybe her own Baoyuer didn't eat well outside, so she came back halfway?
But as soon as Xu Muqiu came, Jia Mu let him sit in this vacant seat. Although the visitor is a guest, if Jia's mother doesn't really like it, Xu Muqiu won't have this special encounter.
Because even if she is a granddaughter, she may not have sat once until now.
How else to say that this second grandmother Lian is a first-class shrewd person in this mansion, I saw her phoenix eyes roll, and said with a smile.
"The old lady still wants to punish me, when this Qiu brother comes, he really can't hold anything in his eyes. Compare this granddaughter and granddaughter to the other.
"Eccentric to this appearance, I think it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, the birthday star always takes advantage of the good days to recognize a kiss with Brother Qiu, and I like it in my heart, and my grandson is someone else's family after all."
After hearing this, Jia Mu was immediately moved, but she still scolded with a smile: "You are a sloppy person, and you dare to entertain me, see that I don't tear your mouth." ”
After a while, he introduced to everyone: "This is Brother Qiu of Pingbei Houfu, the two mansions have been friends for decades, and the relationship is very good." Brother Qiu left home since he was a child, and he just returned home a few days ago, so you haven't seen him. ”
Everyone listened to Jia's mother's introduction, and got up to greet Xu Muqiu, followed by Li Kun, the widow of the second head of Jiafu; Wang Xifeng, the granddaughter-in-law and the second grandmother of the big house; Jia's mother's granddaughter, Xu Muqiu just met, Lin Daiyu; Jia's mother and granddaughter welcome spring, explore spring, and cherish spring.
After Xu Muqiu saw the salute one by one, he turned around and met Mrs. Xing of the big room and Mrs. Wang of the second room again, and this time the birthday greeting can be said to be a success.
After the banquet, Jia Mu pulled Xu Muqiu to chat about some family life in the main hall, and brought up the old things again in the chat, talking about the matter of recognizing relatives just now. It can be seen that Mother Jia took Wang Xifeng's jokes as true and remembered them in her heart.
Xu Muqiu didn't respond well, and said that he would show his grandmother Zhang's family and make plans again. Who knew that after Jia Mu heard this, she didn't care, and said in a big way.
"Brother Qiu, don't worry about your grandmother, this matter is settled. My old sister, I'm free to say it. If she dares not to agree, I will have to tear her up. ”
Xu Muqiu saw that he really couldn't refuse, so he took advantage of the situation.
