Chapter 401: Don't Give a Chance
Sure enough, after the old lady entered the inner room, Mrs. Zhen was introduced to the theater garden, where everyone was eating at the table and watching the play on stage, but it was estimated that there were not many people who really watched it, and they were all taking the opportunity to play on the edge.
Although Li Kun is a widow, but today is just a reception banquet for the students, and it is not in the way of her, so she came out with the old lady and met with these ladies, and the old lady came out to greet the guests first, and also had a cold talk with everyone, and then went in to talk with Master Jinghui, so Li Kun went up and down outside.
After Mrs. Zhen sat down, she saw that the table was full of acquaintances, and looking at the order of rank, although it was not the Jia family who invited the guests, the widowed second-room grandmother of the Jia family was very decent.
Greeted everyone, watched the excitement on the stage, she was a little bored, she liked to be quiet and didn't like to move, the family banquet invited guests, and let the next people greet her, and she accompanied the old lady to say some auspicious words, where really let her sit here and suffer. But the Governor's wife, Mrs. Buzheng, and Mrs. Nickel Tai are all here, and she really can't take that Joe.
"Why is Mrs. Zhen a little late?" The wife of a small official at the next table was familiar with the Zhen family, and she came over to say hello enthusiastically.
"Yes, before going out, the old lady thought about getting a gadget to the old lady of the Jia family again, no, it would be too late." Mrs. Zhen smiled busily.
"The relationship between these two old ladies is really good, I heard that when the Jia family was in Jiangnan, the two old ladies also often came and went?" That person hadn't been so embarrassed before, and he was excited all of a sudden.
Mrs. Zhen hurriedly said: "Although the two old ladies are said to be inferior, they have similar interests. Now that Mrs. Jia has gone to Jiangnan, who knows if there will be a chance to see each other again in the future, and she can't bear to be separated."
"You are so polite, tell you, our old lady and the old lady of the Zhen family are very young! How dare you climb high?" Li Kun was also born in the Li family in Jiangnan and has been a scholar for generations. It was all kinds of hardships before, and she couldn't do it, but now that her sons are out of breath, what are she afraid of. The old lady also said that the Zhen family was inappropriate, for fear of being next to the side, so she was also busy laughing. And she hurriedly made tea for the lady herself, and forced her to return to her place, and she went to the main table, and added tea to the governor's wife, "Our old lady is as soft-hearted as something, and does not go out much now, saying that she is too old to bear to see her friends, nor to see old men like her. So along the way, I can't see my old relatives. Mrs. Zhen is really, what is really the matter with the removal of the ancestors of the Zhen family, isn't it a sin?"
"If it weren't for the Jia family's study tour in Beijing, they wouldn't have meant to be able to see it, but if they can't see it, it's a pity, right?" Mrs. Zhen is a little unhappy, one of your nephews and daughters-in-law is here, we didn't say that you were rude, you are still reasonable. But thinking about the family's strategy, he suppressed his unhappiness again, and pulled the corners of his mouth, "We're late, but we haven't seen the girls in the house."
"What's it called, it's all playing, what's the fun with us old guys." The governor's wife can't get used to it, your name is the girl of the Jia family, so do you want to come out and see the other girls? What did you just say, the old lady was delayed when she went out, and she took the old lady as a felling child, and bullied them, what can't you say? Now that the two old ladies are gone, you can't still use yourself as a dish.
"It's a pity that the Baoyu of the Jia family didn't come out this time, I heard that it is very similar to our Baoyu, and the temperament is also eight or nine points the same. Our old lady was amazed when she heard this, and said that let our family Baoyu go to Shenjing to study, and have a good relationship with Jia's Baoyu." Mrs. Zhen laughed again.
"Our second uncle is famous after entering school, and he doesn't know how to speak. They are all jade characters in this generation, and when Brother Jue was young, he was afraid that he would be destroyed by women, and he was afraid that jade would not be successful. Therefore, after strict discipline, he became one of the eleven sons of Jiamen. Now that the eldest lord and the old man are out of Beijing, he and Brother Rong of Dongfu are in charge of the school together, not to mention how serious and responsible they are, the students read 120 times, memorize 120 times, and silence 120 times, and he also works with them every day, saying that he practices himself. Sometimes that stupidity makes the old man angry, saying pedantic, I don't know where I learned it." Li Kun hurriedly waved his hand, his face was unspeakable, he didn't dare to mention Zhen Baoyu a word, you put it away, our family doesn't dare to compare with your baby's eggs, our family is a little fool who loves to read.
"Oh, but the legendary one was born
Jade's son......"
"It's not jade, the emperor also asked at the beginning, our old lady can still joke with others, and she doesn't dare to the emperor, so she specially showed it to the emperor and the second son of Xiong who was in charge of the torture room, and it was an auspicious word carved with rain flower stone.
It's not that the Jia family can't afford to buy the jade, it's just a piece of Jinling's Yuhua stone, and they found the craftsman to polish it carefully, and coaxed the second uncle to bring it, after all, it is the old son of the in-laws, and the old lady is afraid that it will be too pampered and not easy to support. Now that my brother is older and sensible, the old lady of the stone will wear it by her side and change it for something else." Li Kun's face was still indifferent.
"Also, this was spread to Jiangnan at the beginning, and it sounds mysterious, and we also asked Mrs. Lin, but Mrs. Lin didn't know." Mrs. Zhen was a little unhappy, what does this mean, for fear of getting involved with our family Baoyu. The problem is that it was passed on at the beginning, but your family, our family didn't pass on this.
"Yes, when Mrs. Gu was in Jiangnan, the old lady was also afraid of many people, so she didn't even tell Mrs. Gu. Besides, at that time, Mrs. Gu didn't have children yet, so she shouldn't have said it in the first place." Li Kun was still smiling, as if he was not angry at all.
"Also, the old man always cares a little more. At that time, the heirs of your Rong Mansion will not be very prosperous." A certain lady said busily.
"But that day, I saw that the three girls were neat and simple, at a young age, they really loved the dead." Mrs. Zhen decided not to pester Baoyu anymore, and grasped the point, they came today mainly to spread the news of harmony with the Jia family. It is also necessary to show Jiangnan that the Jia family will put a granddaughter in the Zhen family.
Li Kun was a little impatient with his good temper, and smiled faintly, "The upbringing of the most important descendants of the Jia family, regardless of men and women, masters and slaves, all have to read and understand reason, even if it is the second son of the eldest master, Brother Cong, is only six years old, and he has already passed the county exam, and when he writes a letter, his tail will be raised to the sky." The old lady also said that she had to spoil the child."
Everyone understands that Lao Jia's family doesn't want to take care of the Zhen family, even on this occasion, they don't want them to mention the three girls, only their boys. Of course, it's also interesting, our six-year-old dolls have passed the county exam, not to mention your baby's eggs, so old, and mixed among sisters, there are no such children in our family.
