104 Pack up and go to Grand View Garden
"Look at it, it's a vacation, but the reward is more than what we serve, life." Xiaohong buried her head in the quilt, pretending to be sour.
Even her father said that this was good luck from heaven, and she couldn't ask for it.
"Where's the reward?" Forget the young lady next to her, Jia Baoyu has also learned the habit of slamming the door, and she praised it, but she didn't reward it as a big son.
Thinking about this, I was depressed, so I didn't bother to soak my feet, so I rushed to bed casually. Looking at Huixiang's upright bed, I couldn't help asking, "Why is she on duty every night?" ”
"Don't care about her, she has a big heart, she said that the head of the whirlpool will stop first, and you will wait for your wife to be free one day." Xiaohong's eyebrows and eyes were raised, and the bottom of her eyes was a little disdainful, but as soon as the conversation changed, the two little girls happily talked about what they had seen and heard in the past few days.
Yun Zhu unwrapped the burden while listening, and handed Xiao Hong a moon cake with winter melon and apple filling wrapped in red oil paper, "I don't have abalone and bear's paws, but I made the moon cake myself, can you taste it?" ”
Xiaohong saw that the mooncake returned to the oil just right, and it was shiny in the candlelight, and it looked very good. But this thing is common, she first praised it, and then said that it smelled different from others, and then put it aside, concentrating on the excitement of Yuanchun Province.
Probably because Yunzhu rescued Jia Baoyu by mistake, so when Baoyu went to the old lady to ask for peace the next day, he also took her with him.
The cold air is also strong in the first month, and the blue yarn cabinet is closer to the old lady than Jiang Yunxuan, and when the two of them entered the house one after the other, they saw Dai Yutuan sitting next to the old lady, intently playing with the incense ash, and the grandparents and grandchildren talked and laughed when Baoyu came in and did not stop.
Playing with children and grandchildren should be a very happy thing for an old lady.
"How did you sleep?" Seeing Jia Baoyu put down the tea presented by Amber, the old lady asked with concern.
Although the old lady is very fond of the girls, a grandchild who stands out is always different for the family. In the eyes of the old lady, the girls are the golden and noble guests, but the men are the objects that can be pinned on the future of the family, and they are the support and pillars of the future, and Jia Baoyu is undoubtedly the best in this pillar.
It's no wonder that the old lady has always loved him, and when she saw that the girls were all retreating, she gently pulled Baoyu to the couch, and said gently: "Your father said that he wanted you to end up after the year, but I didn't worry about anything else, just one sentence, the body and bones are also very important, what is lacking and what is missing, you don't have to ask Brother Feng'er, I called the maid to report the mandarin duck, I asked someone to do it for you to send to the yard." ”
Jia Baoyu's eyes were on Daiyu, and she felt that she was cute when she was dusty, and she was also cute with incense seals, and her mouth was very faint: "Ancestor, rest assured, grandchildren will work hard." ”
Work hard and have the effort to eat and drink.
Jia Zheng came in from outside, and glanced at his youngest son lightly, slandering in his heart, but his face was still a loving father for the first time, and he praised it lightly: "This matter is still appropriate, and it should be the same in the future, don't be naughty." ”
Baoyu replied respectfully, but the brilliance in his eyes was not so calm, his father, who has always been strict, what's wrong today?
Seeing this, the old lady smiled for a while before nodding and saying, "I said a long time ago that this Yu'er is the most like him, so it can be seen that he is very anxious." ”
He was naturally talking about Old Rong Guogong.
The old lady also attaches great importance to Jia Zheng, today her son and grandson are in front of her, that is, Jia Zheng did not stay for breakfast, and the old lady was also in a good mood and used most of the bowl of japonica rice, and the mandarin duck was very happy to watch it from the side.
The wives and grandmothers were on the side, seeing that the old lady was happy, and no one retreated after breakfast, chattering about the harmony in the rich nest, and the center of the topic went around Jia Baoyu.
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she pursed her lips and consciously stood two steps to the side, listening a little longer, and she was afraid that she would have to leave impatiently and go back.
When the masters spoke, it was natural that when the maids went to eat, Yunzhu didn't dare to go far, so they followed the pearls and them to eat and talk in the wing, chewing a few bean sprouts in their mouths, and heard Amber take the lead in congratulating: "Baoyu is very worried about you, and I brought you to ask for rewards early in the morning." ”
In a word, several envious and jealous eyes were raised.
"Where's the reward?"
Yun Zhu took a sip of soup and swallowed the food in his mouth, and then said to Amber and the others: "There is a rotation table in the courtyard of Second Master Bao, and it happens to be my turn today, not to mention that I just came back from recuperation, and I don't come forward to serve, I'm afraid that my hands will be born." ”
Thanks to Qi Fei, in order to suppress the jealous atmosphere in Jiang Yunxuan, he adopted his own shift system, and set aside one day a month to quarrel and arrange shifts, but he really avoided a lot of potential risks.
Sure enough, Amber listened, thinking about the loss of attacking people, and now she was tired of Yunzhu's cleverness, but she didn't say anything petty in the end, she only smiled and groaned: "Look at this mouth, there is her master's intention, no wonder Baoyu likes it." ”
Anyone in the house who paid attention to Jiang Yunxuan's subordinates, eighty or ninety percent knew that Qingwen had accepted an apprentice.
Originally, when it came to this master-apprentice relationship, many people envied it. But now that Qingwen has been demoted, it will inevitably be a joke to mention this again. Yunzhu himself didn't care, pulled the pearl who wanted to open his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's hard for my sisters to think about me, look, I have to go forward and serve." ”
As he spoke, he raised his chin and nodded out of the window, it was the girl who came to change shifts to eat, although it had nothing to do with Yunzhu, and Jia Baoyu was not short of people waiting in the old lady's room, but couldn't he hide if he couldn't be provoked?
There's no need to choke with these deep-rooted girls.
Amber is friendly with the attackers, and naturally there are a thousand people who look down on Qingwen's faction, and people come with hostility, and if they continue to tear it up, they will have to suffer a little loss today.
After a few bites of leftovers in the bowl, I was busy washing my hands and rinsing my mouth, as if there was a dog chasing behind me, and it was a bit of a desert and fled.
Listening to the smile behind him, Yun Zhu let out a long breath and said in his heart: Making a fortune in a muffled voice is a serious thing, what do you know!
Thinking about the reward that Amber said again, listening to the laughter in the main room, Yunzhu inexplicably looked forward to it. She also thinks now that if Jia Baoyu fails to get rid of the grandson of the Qiu Hou family, she is afraid that she will dislike the saint, in that case, the day of Jiafu's raid will probably be advanced.
With such a big credit, at least one hundred and eighty taels of gold and silver must be rewarded to be worthy of Jia Baoyu's identity, right?
"Yo, why didn't the second girl go in?" Yunzhu saw the spring flashing, leaning against the pillar under the corridor, and the maid did not bring it, looking sad.
The old lady likes such bright and lovely or beautiful and talented girls, and the timidity of Yingchun is perennial with a veil to hide her face, and the old lady doesn't say it, but she is a little disgusted in her heart.
But even so, Yingchun still came to greet the old lady every day.
After all, this old ancestor, but Yingchun is rarely relied on in the house, what else can he do if he doesn't stutter?
Yun Zhu blessed her body, and saw that Yingchun ignored her for a long time, and her knees and neck were a little unbearable, so she secretly stared at her eyes, and as soon as she raised her eyelids, she saw a red mark on Yingchun's eyebrow bone, a thin, thin and fair-skinned girl, this red mark was very eye-catching.
So the ceremony was no longer good, Yun Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Second girl, what's wrong with you?" Do you want the slave to help the girl find a man? ”
Together, everyone in the room could not be deaf, Mrs. Xing said busily: "This girl has always been timid, and when she sees that there are many of us, she doesn't dare to come in." ”
What about the timid concubine, that is also the serious master of the house, seeing the old lady sighing, Mrs. Xing is like the frosted eggplant, and it will wilt all of a sudden.
Mrs. Wang laughed quietly, and said with a mending knife: "The ancestors are kind, and they said that they were exempted from asking for peace every day, and they still come every day, which is really filial." ”
Jia Mu didn't answer, and said to the mandarin duck: "Call her in." ”
Someone had already pricked up their ears at the door to listen to the errand, and Yunzhu helped Yingchun inside, half a step behind and kowtowed. After kowtowing but no one shouted, Yunzhu's heart was half cold, and she had a premonition that today's reward was going to be wasted.
Sure enough, Wang Xifeng held his stomach and asked tremblingly: "Ancestor, look at the second girl's face, but is there an injury?" ”
Yingchun knelt on the ground, saw the old lady staring at her, her heart trembled, a few words of complaint came to her mouth, and swallowed back.
Quietly glanced at everyone, and saw that the stepmother looked at her nails as if nothing happened, her heart ached slightly, and she hurriedly cheered up, touched the fine red on her eyebrow bone, and said flatteringly: "Let the old ancestor worry, I got up early this morning and was confused, thinking about last night's dream, and my head hit the bed tent." ”
Although Yingchun is not a child, but it is not big, where can the old man hide from the sharp eyes of the old man in her teens, the old lady asked her to sit down, and asked what cakes to eat, then she glanced back at Mrs. Xing, and said lightly: "Which is the nurse of the second girl?" Why is there no maid leader, and you still ask others to follow? ”
As he spoke, he looked at the cloud beads behind Jia Baoyu.
The situation here is a little bad, seeing the cowardly appearance of Yingchun, someone went out to spread her nurse and girl, not far away there is a fragrant seal made by Daiyu herself burning vigorously, Yunzhu was a little dazed in her heart, but still said: "The second girl is only alone at the door, and the slave is afraid that she will slip, so this is ......" She begged Jia Baoyu a little.
This doesn't seem to be right, whether Yingchun is here to ask for peace or to dismantle the stage.
"Ancestor, the second sister said that she had a dream, and this is when she met." Jia Baoyu squeezed out of the crowd, turned to Yingchun, and asked with a smile, "What did the second sister dream?" I don't even forget to reminisce when I wake up, it must be a sweet dream! ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, Yingchun was like looking for the backbone of the main heart, and honestly said to the old lady: "I'm afraid of the old lady's jokes, I dreamed of a brocade yesterday, which is obviously white, but it is gorgeous and changeable on it, like a sunset." ”
"Oh? And such eyes? Ancestor, our family has never seen such material, it's amazing. Jia Baoyu answered very enthusiastically, and the people in this room seemed to have seen the embarrassment of Yingchun with the master and servant of Yunzhu.
Others do not know whether they cannot see it, or if they see it, they should not see it.
Such a very magical dream, which could have coaxed everyone with oil and vinegar, could come out of Yingchun's mouth, but it was like a new saw pulling wood, and there was no follow-up in three or two clicks.
The old lady looked at her for a long time, and Yingchun hurriedly lowered her head.
Wang Xifeng hated that iron could not become steel, covered his stomach and made a smile, looked at Mrs. Xing and said: "Last time, Mrs. Xing said that Yingchun died and her mother was pitiful, so I just said something angry in private." I thought, the second girl has a wife at the top and a maid at the bottom, how can she be pitiful? ”
looked at the Yingchun nurse who was kneeling under the porch, and said sharply: "Ancestor, I have been in charge of the family for several years, who hasn't seen it?" What hasn't happened? But this kind of deceptive and concealed things, bullying the wife is busy, and she can't stare at home for twelve hours, so she begins to dislike the master, and dares to talk about the master when people are unprepared, and even do some selfishness with her hands and feet! ”
When the nurse heard this, her face turned white, and she kowtowed to the house under the porch, "Old lady, wife, grandma Mingjian!" Slaves don't dare! Slaves don't! ”
"Oh? You mean, I wronged you? The phoenix crown on Wang Xifeng's head shook, and the sound of gold and jade colliding made her crown solemn, which was completely different from the little daughter-in-law who was coquettish and obedient in front of the old lady on weekdays.
"A good young lady, let a few of you dog minions fool you without any temperament, and you still have the face to shout wronged? Today, in front of the old lady and his wife, you only said whether you should be punished or not! As he spoke, he was about to call Laiwang, and he dragged her back, beat her with thirty or forty boards in one go, and drove her to Zhuangzi.
Mother Jia is a good hand at housekeeping, once upon a time, the Xuan He of Jiafu was a little more prosperous than now, and there was no fault in her hands. She herself is a sharp character, so naturally she doesn't like to see that nest in her children and grandchildren.
After listening to Wang Xifeng's words, ignoring the frantic nurse under the corridor, he only asked Yingchun fixedly, "Second girl, you say, are there any disobedient people in your room?" ”
The nurse is almost the person who has been with the young master and girls for the longest time, and Yingchun saw her crying pitifully, and it was inevitable that her eyes were red, and she turned her head to talk to Mother Jia.
Seeing her timid appearance, Wang Xifeng shook his head in his heart, turned around and began to look for Ping'er, bowed his head and commanded.
He raised his voice again: "Second sister, you can say bluntly, the wife and the old lady are here today, and you will not suffer a dark loss!" ”
Yun Zhu listened to it and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. She only thinks that Yingchun is kind, but she is so kind that there is no bottom line, there are many children and grandchildren in Jiafu, if she does not seek progress and blindly retreats, she will suffer a big loss in marriage in the future.
Seeing that Yingchun didn't speak, Jia's mother called the nurse into the house, asked a few words of daily life, and just started eating and drinking can still make up blindly, but can ask about Yingchun's private affairs, such as clothes, shoes, numbers, menstrual sleep, etc., and began to get up.
Jia's mother asked Yingchun: "Although you eat a few mouthfuls of her milk, but in the end you are the master, she is so light and perfunctory, and she must be careless in her daily life, what does your sister-in-law say, do you have a decision in your heart?" ”
When the nurse heard these words, she was vigilant, and swore that she would not dare to deal with it again, and begged to give her another chance, because she did not dare to cry in front of the old lady, and everyone saw that her tears were mixed with sweat and her head was full of pity.
"The first Brother Feng told me about the Grand View Garden, I just regarded it as a concubine, and now I look at it, our girls should also learn to be housekeepers, and the wives have no time to teach, so they will sieve the subordinates and divide them into villas to live alone, so they can learn from it!"
In a word, under the pretext of welcoming spring, he packed and sent people to the Grand View Garden, and also beat the two ladies Xing and Wang.
Yun Zhu looked at it, and Yingchun was afraid that he would be more cautious.
