Chapter 790: Dragon Boat Festival
After a period of time, the Rongguo Mansion was also lively.
Because this day is the traditional folk festival Dragon Boat Festival, Pu Ai hairpin door, tiger charm arm.
And because this day is a good day for family reunion to eat moon cakes, worship gods and ancestors, and pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, Rongguo Mansion is even more jubilant.
In the morning, Mrs. Wang called the maid Jin Chu'er in her house and instructed: "Jin Chu'er, you go to the various rooms, and tell the girls and wives to let them have a banquet at home at noon, and go to Yunfu to spread the word and let them come over to eat at noon, that is, don't prepare lunch at home." ”
With Mrs. Wang's instructions, Jin Chu'er also walked out quickly, and hurriedly went everywhere to inform him of the matter.
After a while, Jin Chu'er came to Jia Tanchun's house, looked at the maid and waiter in Jia Tanchun's house and asked, "Sister Shu, is your girl inside?" ”
Hearing this, the waiter hurriedly turned around, looked at Jin Chu'er with a smile and said, "My girl is inside, you stand here and wait first, and after I go in and pass it on, I will take you in." ”
With that, the waiter smiled and lifted the curtain and went to the room inside.
After a while, she walked out of it again, looked at Jin Chu'er with a smile and said, "The girl said, now that you are free, you can go in with me!" ”
Jia Tanchun, who was in the house, was also checking this month's accounts, as well as the silver to be distributed next, as well as the details of various places, etc., and he had a headache and brain fever, so he couldn't help but rub his forehead, closed the account book and said: "Things in this house are really a mess, and I don't know how to have a way to reverse this situation." ”
Immediately, Jia Tanchun also sighed and said with a sigh: "People outside say that our family is rich, but who knows the difficulties of this big family?" Food, clothing, and what don't need silver! A few days ago, I sent three thousand taels of silver to the master, and it was only a few days before I sent a letter saying that I wanted silver, which is simply not a heavenly reason.
The master co-authored our family as a money bank, right?
Even with such a huge family business, I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the call. ”
Just when Jia Tanchun was dissatisfied and complaining, the waiter walked in from outside with Jin Chu'er, she looked at Jia Tanchun and said, "Miss, Jin Chu'er is here!" ”
"Tell me, what did my wife tell you to come over?" Jia Tanchun rubbed his forehead and asked.
Seeing this, Jin Chu'er hurriedly responded: "Mrs. said that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, let the girl have a banquet at home at noon, and asked me to inform the eldest lady and Aunt Zhao and others, in addition..."
Jia Tanchun said: "What else? ”
Jin Chu'er smiled and said, "There are also several grandmothers and wives from Yun Mansion who are also invited over." I can't say, Master Yun will come over too. ”
Jia Tanchun couldn't help but move his eyes slightly when he heard the voice, slowly stood up, looked at Jin Chu'er and said, "Look at me who is busy, I am about to forget the hours and days, but I didn't remember that today is the Dragon Boat Festival." Okay, let's go down and get busy first! I know about this, and I will definitely go to the banquet at noon. ”
After that, Jia Tanchun also instructed the maid in his house to send Jin Chu'er.
The waiter sent Jin Chu'er out of the house, and said to Jin Chu'er: "Sister Jin, you can get busy!" I won't give you much here. ”
"Hmm!" Jin Chu'er nodded and hurriedly went.
(
In the Yun Mansion next to it, they also got the information from the Rongguo Mansion, and they also had their own preparations, but because Jia Yuanchun's mother Mrs. Wang of the Rongguo Mansion next to them invited a guest first, they had to think carefully about it and nodded and agreed.
Since Mrs. Wang treated the banquet at home and made a post, it is difficult for them to have a reason to excuse themselves.
No matter what, Mrs. Wang is the mother of Concubine Yuan, and she still has to give face here.
Otherwise, they can actually refuse and ignore the matter.
However, Concubine Yuan's face is very large, and she can't tolerate everyone not giving face.
After everyone was slightly informed, they also went to Jia Yun and said, "Husband, the wife of Rongguo Mansion said let's go to her for lunch at noon, what do you think?" ”
"Oh? Since it was the wife who spoke, then we should go. Let's bring the spring with you! She didn't feel comfortable staying at home, she went, she went. Jia Yun thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
He doesn't reject this matter, people are sophisticated, and they always have to come and go.
Even a saint has friends and confidants, but he is not an isolated individual.
Immediately, Jia Yun nodded and agreed to this matter, and asked the people below to put the materials prepared in advance for the evening, and then reunite at home for dinner in the evening.
Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing, Jia Yingchun and others in the Yun Mansion all went.
There was only one person who didn't go, and that was Wang Xifeng.
Wang Xifeng heard that Mrs. Wang was going to invite, and it was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, but he was not qualified to be on the seat.
Even though her affairs have been settled by Jia Yun, if Wang Xifeng also goes to Rongguo Mansion for dinner and bumps into each other, it is inevitable that she will feel a little embarrassed, and she always feels that it is not a good thing.
It's not the same now.
In the past, Wang Xifeng was the chief housekeeper of Rongguo Mansion with status, status, and face, but now Wang Xifeng is a character who is not very popular, but a character who is not very good at face.
Now Wang Xifeng also knows that he is a phoenix with a hair, which is not as good as a chicken, it is not the same as before, everything must be cautious, and he can't mess around.
Rather than being humiliated in the past, it is better to enjoy yourself at home.
Hearing Wang Xifeng's meaning, everyone did not force Wang Xifeng to go.
After Jia Yun learned about this, she said with a smile: "It's okay if she doesn't go, stay at home and guard the house, let the kitchen prepare in advance what she wants to eat, and leave us with food." ”
Then Jia Yun took Lin Daiyu and others to the Rongguo Mansion next to them for dinner.
Not only the people from Yunfu came, but even Aunt Xue came.
Aunt Xue looked at Xue Baochai and said with a smile: "Daughter, I really haven't seen you for a long time, but I want to die as a mother." ”
Seeing Aunt Xue coming, Xue Baochai also smiled indifferently and said, "Mother, is my sister-in-law okay at home?" In the last few days, I was about to go home to have a look, but because I couldn't get out of the child's affairs, I never thought of seeing my mother first. ”
"It's okay, she's fine at home." Aunt Xue said with a smile: "Recently, she gave birth to a big fat boy for the family, and I am also satisfied, I have completed the task of this life, and I have no regrets." ”
Parents have a task, that is, to watch their children start a family, marry a wife and have children, it seems that only in this way can their life be complete, if it is missing, it is not perfect.
