Chapter Twenty-Five: Cherish Spring
Zhou Huan nodded with satisfaction after listening to Jia Jing and said: "What you said is not bad, as the so-called blessing and misfortune have no way but people call themselves, this person makes trouble for no reason and does not cultivate virtue, and will bring disaster back, you must take this as a lesson, you must know that the gentleman should act in a fair and upright manner, and also cultivate himself and his family, and if the house is restless, it will invite disaster." ”
Jia Jing and the three of them got up to be taught, and Zhou Huan waved his hand at Jia Jing and said, "You go inside to meet your master, Qiu Xiang, and lead your son." The maid who was waiting outside also responded, and after Jia Jing saluted Zhou Huan, he followed her and walked to the back house, where Zhou Huan sat with Jia Zhu and Jia Lian.
Zhou Huan has no children and only a wife, Mrs. Zhou doesn't look particularly beautiful, but she is gentle and atmospheric, and when she saw Jia Jing coming in, she smiled and said: "As soon as your husband came back, he said that you were coming, and I was still thinking about what kind of meeting gift to prepare for you, so I came before I thought about it!" Mrs. Zhou spoke with a little taste of Wu Nong's soft words, adding a bit of gentleness, Jia Jing smiled: "Jia Jing meets his wife." ”
Mrs. Zhou greeted Jia Jing with a smile, stroked his forehead and said, "Good boy, it's strange that your husband said that I must like you when I see you, but that's not the case, as soon as I see you, I know that you have an eye for me!" Jia Jing felt a little weird in his heart, he seemed to be quite popular with middle-aged and elderly women after he crossed back, and Jia's mother also liked him very much when she saw him, of course, because of his own extraordinary appearance, but it was too much, a friend of middle-aged and elderly women? What kind of weird setting is this?
Jia Jing smiled: "I saw my wife and was quite kind. Mrs. Zhou said: "Good boy, I don't have any children, now you worship your husband as a teacher, then I am naturally your wife, and then here is like going home, ah." Jia Jing smiled: "Naturally, I was afraid that my master would blame me for not being outside!" ”
Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed, she originally just trusted Zhou Huan's vision, and Aiwu and Wu were willing to be good to Jia Jing, but now she really likes Jia Jing's atmospheric temperament, Jia Jingsheng's pink carving, and calm and atmospheric behavior are very good, both cautious and not stingy, how can Mrs. Zhou not like it?
So Jia Jing and Mrs. Zhou have become familiar with each other since they came and went, and even the two of them are closer to Zhou Huan than Jia Jing, after all, the gentle master will not perform the Great Yin and Yang Technique on him......
Jia Jing and Mrs. Zhou talked for a while and were about to leave, but Mrs. Zhou was naturally reluctant and said, "Good boy, stay here tonight, I'll let you clean up a yard and come out." Jia Jing smiled bitterly: "My wife is so enthusiastic that I shouldn't have refused, but Jing didn't come alone, my eldest brother and second brother are waiting outside, my eldest brother is fine, my second brother is not learning and has no skills, I am afraid that he will be unable to sit still at this time, and Jing has to go out to save him." ”
Mrs. Zhou and Qiu Xiang, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but smile, and Mrs. Zhou said angrily: "Where is there anyone who makes fun of my brother?" Naughty! After thinking about it, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and said, "I didn't prepare any greeting gifts, and I didn't know what to prepare for you brothers, but I can't let you go home empty-handed, come, take it." ”
Jia Jing looked at the jade bracelet in his hand and smiled bitterly: "This ..... Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? I can't wear ...... again," Mrs. Zhou glared at him and said, "Think beautifully!" Who said it was for you? This is what my mother passed on to me, and I have no children, only a nephew, and now you are the only son, so I will naturally leave it to you. ”
Hearing this, Jia Jing said with a straight face: "Since this is the case, Jia Jing can't accept it." Mrs. Zhou pushed the jade bracelet to him and said, "You keep it, I don't like these in the first place, keep it until you marry in the future, give this to the bride, and then bring it to me." Jia Jing said speechlessly: "Master, I'm only eight years old.....
Mrs. Zhou chuckled, stroked his hair bun and said, "Soon, it's gone in a flash." Jia Jing said: "Then wouldn't it be better for the teacher's mother to hand it over to her at that time?" Seeing that he was not at all as shy as ordinary children talking about this kind of thing, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said: "I naturally have a gift when the time comes, you just have to take it, okay, since you are leaving, don't talk nonsense, go quickly, remember to visit my wife often." Jia Jing nodded, saluted, and followed Qiu Xiang.
Jia Lian over there really couldn't sit still, Zhou Huan and Jia Zhu were chatting happily there, Jia Lian could only use the only bit of ink in his stomach to support him, so when Jia Jing came out, Jia Lian looked at him and almost cried, Jia Jing gave Jia Lian a look I understand and continued to chat with Zhou Huan.
After a while, Wen An came back and said: "That man is kneeling outside, he doesn't care when I talk to him, he just kneels and doesn't speak, I see that he is covered in injuries and now I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on." Jia Jing smiled when he heard this: "Sir, I think it's almost time for the fire, so ...... The students went? ”
Zhou Huan said: "Since this is the case, then you can go quickly." Jia Jing nodded, and the three brothers got up to say goodbye, and Zhou Huan asked Wen An to send them out.
Jia Jing and the three of them went out, Jia Jing still didn't look at Ye Er, just got on the horse by himself, Jia Lian couldn't bear to open his mouth to persuade, and then thought about what Jia Zhu said before Jia Jing didn't dare to open his mouth if he had an idea, only looked at Ye Er sympathetically, then shook his head and sighed and got on the horse.
Jia Jing then said to Zhao Guoji, who was also a little unbearable: "You go and get his identity deed and send it to the yamen to change his good nationality...... Zhao Guoji said a little unbearable: "Second master...... This ......" Ye Er also came back to his senses, looking at Jia Jing a little depressed, he still wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to open his mouth.
Jia Jing glanced at him and said, "Take him to heal, clean and change his clothes, and then go to Xuanzhen Temple to wait for me." Zhao Guoji was stunned for a moment, and then said to Ye Er, who was a little shocked, with a smile: "Don't hurry up, thank you, Childe." ”
Ye Er knelt down excitedly and kowtowed, "Ye Shi! I am willing to saddle the horse before and after the son! Let it be! Jia Jing looked at Ye Er, or the young man whose real name should be Ye Shi, finally smiled and said, "If you are good at doing things, you have your own creation." ”
As he spoke, he drove the horse away with a soft click, Ye Shi raised his head excitedly and looked at Jia Jing's back and said loudly: "Shi! I will do my best to repay the grace of the son's life! ”
……
When Jia Jing returned to Jia's mansion, Jia Mu and the others had not fallen asleep, waiting for Jia Zhu to finish the matter, Jia Mu couldn't stand it anymore, so they went to sleep, Jia Jing came out of Rongxi Hall and saw that Xiao Xichun hadn't left yet, standing there waiting for him.
Jia Jing smiled and walked over, squatted down and looked at Xichun and said, "Why doesn't the fourth sister go to sleep yet?" Xichun blinked his eyes and said, "I can't sleep......" The painting behind him smiled: "Second master, our young lady is waiting here to say a few words to the second master." ”
Hearing this, Jia Jing looked at Xiao Xichun and lowered her little head a little shyly, so she stroked her hair with a smile and said, "In the future, you have to sleep more to grow taller, but you can't stay up late." Xichun snorted: "I didn't stay up late, I just wanted to see my brother today, I'm afraid that my brother will be busy in the future, and I won't have ...... time."
Jia Jing pinched her little face with some distress when she heard this, this little girl may not be born in the future as "not a ruthless person, it is rare to be a man", she still longs for family affection and love in her heart, but she has grown up beside Jia's mother since she was a child in the Red Mansion, although Jia's mother also cares about them, but after all, she has a brother and father, how can Jia's mother care and how can she replace the care of blood relatives?
In addition, when I grew up, I also heard about the reputation of my family outside...... Xichun has a good saying, "I'm an innocent person, why bother to let you bring me tired?" "As far as the virtuous one in Dongfu is concerned, what can a girl do in Xichun? can only wish that the label of Dongfu on his body was torn cleanly, and there was a little scandal on his body, even if it was a maid into the painting, he was afraid that others would say "No wonder it came from Dongfu" behind his back, so he was naturally even more cold and hard-hearted.
Jia Jing pinched her tender little face and said: "If you miss your brother in the future, you will call Zhao Guoji to bring a letter to Zhao Guoji, and he will go to Xuanzhen Temple to call my brother, you are not only the old lady in Xifu who hurts, you also have your own brother." Xichun lowered her little head, Jia Jing lowered her head and saw that she was shedding tears, and said with a smile: "Yo, it's a golden bean." ”
Xichun grabbed Jia Jing's sleeve and sobbed: "It's all because of my brother......" Jia Jing naturally laughed and took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe her tears, and when he was smiling, he heard behind him: "Ouch! It can be seen that they are brothers and sisters, and they are hiding here and whispering! Second sister, let's go quickly, the province is hindering others. ”
Jia Jing smiled and said, "I knew that my sister was capable, but I didn't expect her mouth to be so good." Xichun listened to the sneer, and squirted out a big snot bubble, Yingchun Tanchun laughed when he saw it, Xichun raised his head and looked at Jia Jing innocently, Jia Jing laughed and rubbed her little face with a handkerchief.
Xiao Xichun, who was rubbing directly, screamed and let go of his hand, Tanchun stepped forward and glanced at Jia Jing and said, "Am I not right?" Otherwise, why did Brother Jing only talk to Xichun alone? ”
Tanchun didn't wait for Jia Jing to reply, then sneered: "I advise Brother Jing not to be partial, do you only recognize Xichun's sister, and we have all become others?" Jia Jing blinked and smiled: "Xichun is waiting here to say a few words to me, why did it become my partiality?" ”
Tanchun smiled: "That must be your heart, otherwise, you usually kowtow to the old lady and leave, only caring about doing your big things, or cultivating your immortals, how can you look at our sisters?" But we can't say, who told you to go to see the emperor Lao Tzu at every turn? Jia Jing laughed and arched his hand and said: "It's for my brother, isn't it, sister, don't count it anymore, leave some dignity for the foolish brother!" ”
Tanchun also snorted and laughed: "Brother Jing should also feel sorry for us, although our sister is stupid, she can't even have the opportunity to ask you, right?" Yingchun also smiled stupidly and said: "The second brother is indeed busy, and he is the same as Baoyu." ”
Jia Jing was stunned and said, "Baoyu? What happened to Baoyu? Tanchun said: "Baoyu will be seven years old after the New Year, the old man also said that Baoyu should go to school at the age of going to school, and now you said that you worshiped a person like the prime minister to be a gentleman, and the master also had the idea of worshipping a famous teacher for Baoyu." ”
Jia Jing blinked his glasses and smiled when he heard this: "That's very good, enlightenment is extremely important, if Baoyu can get a famous teacher, enlightenment is indeed excellent, the old man said." Tanchun blinked and said, "You can't say this in front of Baoyu." Jia Jing smiled: "What's the matter? Tanchun said with a smile: "Brother Jing doesn't know, Baoyu doesn't like to hear people say this, if he says this, he must be in a hurry." ”
Jia Jing secretly said that Jia Baoyu already had the temperament of this daughter's family at this time? Then he smiled and said: "Xu is still young, it will be good when he is older, since you know that he doesn't like to say this, don't touch his moldy head." Yingchun smiled: "We are sisters, where will we persuade our brothers what to do?" Jia Jing nodded and patted Xichun's little head and said, "Go back to sleep, at a young age, you can grow strong by sleeping more." ”
The sisters couldn't help but blame him for being funny, Jia Jing smiled and said: "I'll go first, Xuanzhenguan lost to Qingfeng and don't know how to deal with it....." Sanchun sent him two sentences behind him, Jia Jing waved his hand to signal that he heard them and told them to go back quickly, and the sisters laughed and dispersed.
