After returning home, in order to let the old lady see Baoyu as soon as possible, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't go back to Baoyu's room, and went straight to the backyard of Rong's mansion, where Jia's mother lived.

Jia's mother's residence is located in a small courtyard in the west of Rongxi Hall, after passing the third gate of Rongguo Mansion, and then passing through a hanging flower door, passing through the hall to Jia's mother's residence, only to see the two sides through the mountain verandah wings, hanging all kinds of parrots, thrushes and other birds. All the way there was chirping, and the birds were chirping so cheerfully.

On the steps, there were girls waiting in front of Jia's mother's door, and when they arrived, they led them into Jia's mother's bedroom, only to see Jia's mother with a headscarf on her head, and her face was slightly pale and lying on the bed. On both sides of the bed stood Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang, and below Mrs. Wang stood Li Zhi, who was dressed in plain clothes.

Mother Jia seemed to be talking, and as soon as she saw Jia Baoyu, she sat up and muttered: "My heart and soul baby, I'm finally back, but I miss your grandmother." Saying that, he was about to get out of bed, and for a while everyone stopped him, Mrs. Wang quickly turned to Baoyu and said, "Baoyu don't hurry up to your grandmother." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao pushed Baoyu and hurriedly walked forward, and when Baoyu arrived, Jia's mother hugged Baoyu's heart and baby and shouted, but people looked at Baoyu carefully, and saw that Baoyu's face and spirit were very good, so she put her mind at ease for a while and turned her head to Shen Xiaoxiao and asked, "Is your aunt okay?

Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly replied: "My aunt is very good, when my granddaughter left, my aunt was diagnosing that she was pregnant with a baby in her belly, and I heard my uncle say that they were still twins." ”

Mother Jia was really overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Really? Carrying twins is very hard, and your aunt is in good health! No, you still have to prepare some medicinal herbs and send them over." Mandarin ducks, hurry up. Jia Mu hurriedly called the mandarin duck to come.

Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly stopped: "Grandmother doesn't need to worry, I heard from my uncle that I will be transferred to the capital as an official next month." Then you will be able to see your aunt with your own eyes. ”

Mother Jia was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and after reacting, she confirmed with Shen Xiaoxiao again: "Your aunt can really come to the capital next month, your uncle is going to be a Beijing official, they can live in the capital for a long time in the future, right?"

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded and said very affirmatively: "Yes." ”

After Jia Mu was confirmed, her tears couldn't help falling anymore. Jia Mu said softly: "It's okay now, my Min'er is finally coming back." ”

Mrs. Xing next to her spoke: "Congratulations to the old lady, the old lady has to take care of her body, and when Sister Min'er comes back, she still has to worry about the old lady!"

"Yes, old lady, you have to be good, Sister Min'er can only raise the fetus with peace of mind when she sees you. Mrs. Wang quickly answered.

Jia Mu was relieved and said, "I'm in good health! It's just that I haven't rested well at night." Yuanchun, your sister and brother are tired when they just come back by boat, so you can take me to your brother and go back to rest well. And you're all back, I'm fine, I don't need you to get in my way here. Jia Mu said and drove everyone back.

Unable to get out of Jia's mother's room, Mrs. Xing said hello to Mrs. Wang and went back first.

Mrs. Wang led the three of them back, and stopped in front of Mrs. Wang's courtyard, and Mrs. Wang sent Li Zhi back to take care of Xiao'er, and took Shen Xiaoxiao and Baoyu to the hut where they usually rested.

Mrs. Wang sat down on the couch, pointed Baoyu to the other end and sat down, then lowered her face and shouted coldly to Shen Xiaoxiao: "Don't kneel down for me yet." After seeing Shen Xiaoxiao kneeling, he continued: "You can ignore it when you go out, right? I wrote a letter asking you to come back, why don't you come back, is it that Zhou Rui's family is not going to come back if you don't bring the letter this time, right?"

Shen Xiaoxiao tried hard to adjust her expression, and pinched her thigh with a ruthless hand, then raised her head to look at Mrs. Wang, tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads, and said: "Why didn't my daughter come back, I just thought that my daughter was going to enter the palace in October, and I didn't know when and when I could get out of the palace, so my daughter wanted to see more of the outside world." In fact, there was no need for his mother to send someone here, Yuan Chun was also going to set off for Beijing. ”

Mrs. Wang looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, who was crying profusely, and was a little moved for a while, got up and helped Shen Xiaoxiao to take it to the couch, and after sitting down, she took a handkerchief and wiped her tears for Shen Xiaoxiao and said: "My good daughter, don't cry, you must know that since you have decided to go to the palace to be a female official, there are some things you have to learn, and your mother is afraid that you will not have enough time so she is in a hurry to call you back."

This time, my mother invited you to invite the palace maid Chen, who just came out of the palace this year, to teach you, in addition to etiquette and rules, she will also teach you some knowledge of the preferences and taboos of the masters of the palace.

You're going to have to give me a good study, you know?"

Shen Xiaoxiao hurriedly replied: "I know that my mother is for the good of her daughter, and my daughter will definitely study hard." ”

"Okay, you just came back today, and if you are really tired, you will rest for a day, and from tomorrow onwards, you will study with Mama Chen for half a day in the morning, and practice the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the afternoon. Mrs. Wang announced Shen Xiaoxiao's schedule for the next few months.

Shen Xiaoxiao nodded to indicate that she knew, and then told Mrs. Wang to quit, thinking that the schedule for the next few months would be a headache, and it seemed that she would have to wait until Jia Min came back to find a way.

Jia Min and his wife, who were far away in Yangzhou, were packing their luggage and preparing to make a boat back to the capital.

In Murong Xu's teahouse in Yangzhou City, Murong Xu was drinking tea with Wei Xinxin, Wei Xinxin looked up at Murong Xu a few times and said: "In the past few days since Yuan Chun left, I see that you have never laughed much, and you said that you want to live a chic, freewheeling, and happy life?

Murong Xu glanced at Wei Xinxin lightly and then turned his head to look at the stage, the actors on the stage were in full swing, it turned out that what was being performed was a martial arts play, and the surrounding audience would shout "good" from time to time, and the scene was very warm.

Murong Xu looked at it silently for a while and said, "Before, before I liked someone, this kind of life is what I like and what I pursue. It even allowed me to escape from my family and live here alone, but when I fell in love with that person, life became boring without her, and now my mind is full of her, and I want to live in a city with her.

Shin Shin, I might have to go back. I would like to try to move this teahouse to the capital, so that she can have a place to go at that time. ”

"Murong Xu, do you know? You are hopeless, she is going to participate in the draft next year. Wei Xinxin looked at Murong Xu with pitiful eyes.

"I know that I can be satisfied if I can live quietly around her and look at her from time to time. Murong Xu said slowly.

At this time, Murong Xu said that he would be satisfied with a glance, and he didn't know if Murong Xu would be satisfied with that glance in the future.
