The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Chapter 96

But in Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Liu opened the letter from the Lin family and sent someone to invite the master.

Jia Amnesty was playing with his concubine Ji, when he saw Bai Guo beside his wife, those pretty girls immediately kept silent, not daring to act presumptuously in front of his wife's confidants.Jia Amnesty touched the face of the concubine who was in charge, teased a few words, "wait for me obediently." Then he got up and left with Bai Guo.

If you want to say about this person, he is always insatiable.When the old lady was still there, Jia She had left the Liu family and couldn't even sleep well.Now there is nothing to worry about, instead he dotes on those good-looking young concubines.But on the surface, Jia Amnesty still remembered Liu's affection for accompanying him through those difficult times, and he always respected him very much, and never asked concubine Ji to surpass his regular wife.

Since Yingchun was born, Liu's heart has gradually become cold.The husband and wife became more and more plain as water, getting along with each other like relatives.No matter how many, but no more.Seeing Jia Amnesty approaching, she stepped forward to serve him gently, "Master, there's a letter from my aunt, and sister Min is pregnant again!"

It seems that the Lin family had a son who was three years younger than Lin Daiyu. He died when he was three years old, and he was born around this time.According to Jia Amnesty's idea, the relatives will help if they can, and the children will also help in the future.Especially brother-in-law Lin, if he died early because he had no son, Duke Xianrong's investment in his early years would not be in vain.

Thinking this way, Jia She said: "My sister has just given birth to her eldest niece, and she is not healthy yet. Now I add another one, I am afraid that the child will not be healthy after birth. You look for some high-quality medicinal materials, such as ginseng that has been around for hundreds of years. There are few people who are sick in our family, and it is time for the Lin family to use it. The old lady of the Lin family left early, and sister Min has no elders, so there are many taboos that I don’t know. You send two savings The old nanny who is over [-] years old has served you and gave birth to a child, so you have to be honest and don't take the big one, so as not to make Min'er feel uncomfortable."

After such instructions, Mrs. Liu responded one by one, and then talked about Jia Lian, "Lian'er's master said that he is ready, so it's okay to give it a try. It's just that he is still young and the road to Jinling is far away. Don't worry about it."

Jia She said quickly, "It's not that the old lady was still at that time, and she was anxious to let Hu'er take the exam to become a scholar, so as to increase the voice of the big house. Now you and I are two people in charge, and Hu'er is staying in the Imperial Academy. Lian'er might as well focus on learning, and when she gets older, she might as well be admitted to Juren in one go."

This said, it seems that it is easy to take the exam.It's just that Jia Lian took a famous Confucian student as his student. He is talented and diligent, and the couple have great confidence in him.Liu said with a smile, "I was too anxious. I just thought that if Lian'er has a reputation, it would be better to discuss marriage."

When Jia Lian also came to discuss marriage, Jia Amnesty suddenly realized that time had passed so quickly.He thought of his daughter again, "Ying'er will marry Ji next year, right? Who do you look up to?"

Liu smiled helplessly, "Speaking of Ying'er's ceremony, I also have a headache. Ying'er was born on the first day of the Lunar New Year, a good day is a good day, but the New Year is so busy, I thought, why not give the ceremony How many days will it be postponed or brought forward? Also, who should the guest invite to do it? There is no one in the family who can discuss it, and I am really in a head-to-head lawsuit."

Jia Amnesty thought for a while, "The first day of the new year is fine. It's just that the guest of honor, except for those from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, is not suitable for other families. If there is no good candidate, I think Dongfu's sister-in-law is fine too, or you can invite your mother-in-law to come over." .”

This was exactly what Liu thought. Seeing Jia Amnesty speak, she felt more at ease.In the past few years, the young couple has been in charge of the house, unlike most other families where the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside.One is that Jia Amnesty has nothing to do all day long, and he came from the future. He knows who can befriend and who needs to stay away from; It is inevitable that things will be neglected; thirdly, Jia She is used to doing these things.In the early years when the old lady was still there, both of them had discussions and discussions, and they were afraid that one of them would make an omission.Now Jia Amnesty has become obsessed with female sex, and doesn't care much about it. It's just such a big matter, Liu will still talk to her husband.

The first day of the new year seems to be far away, but Mrs. Liu has already started preparations.First, I posted a post, asking Mrs. Xu from the East Mansion to come over to discuss, and Mrs. Wang also came with Jia Baoyu.

As soon as he arrived at Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu went to play with his sisters and sisters.

Jia Baoyu was entangled in Xiao Wang's arms like a twisted twist, and Xiao Wang said awkwardly, "I made my sisters-in-law laugh. I am just such a child, and I dote on him like a devil in the world."

In fact, Jia Baoyu didn't come to Rongguo Mansion very often, and this time it was Xiao Wang who was so pestered by him that he brought him here.Jia Baoyu had a good life and was sweet to his elders, although there were some absurdities, Liu didn't care much.

She just smiled and said, "Don't Baoyu like to be naughty with Lian's second brother? Since you came last time, your Lian's second brother has been asking Baoyu to come and play. Now that Baoyu is here, your second brother must be happy. How about I ask someone to take you to him?"

This is of course a polite remark.Jia Lian is going to school now, how can she have time to play with a child.

It was originally to tease Jia Baoyu, who loves to hang out in the inner curtain, but Jia Baoyu said: "I don't like to be stubborn with my second brother, I only like to be with my sisters." Liu was amazed and asked why.Jia Baoyu then said: "Daughters are made of water, and men are made of mud. When I see my daughter, I feel refreshed; when I see a man, I feel foul and smelly."

Isn't that childish?Several people laughed and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing that he was articulate and well-spoken, Mrs. Xu loved him so much, she hugged him and said, "A child who is only three or four years old, where did he learn these words?" Then he said to Mrs. Wang, "Hello, third brother and sister." Luckily, Baoyu is so young and so smart, and I will earn you a phoenix coronet in the future!"

Xiao Wang was very happy, and said with a smile: "I have accepted the good words from my sister-in-law."

Liu said: "Take it to the eldest girl, so that the second girl doesn't have to go to school. While her second cousin is here, let's relax for a day." So Jia Baoyu stayed with her sisters as she wished.

The summer is hot, and Jia Ying is listless. Suddenly, he is very happy to hear that Baoyu from his second uncle's house has arrived.Since her younger brother Jia Lian had also grown up, she felt regretful, but it happened that the second sister-in-law gave birth to a small child, who was white, fat and very cute.In addition, Baoyu is used to playing with her sisters. In terms of caring, ten Jialians can't compare with this one.

Seeing Jia Baoyu being hugged by his mother's Bai Guo like a big red envelope, Jia Ying put down her needle and thread, and hugged him with a smile, "Bing Guo, does mother have any other orders?"

When Jia's mother is around, all the cats and dogs around the elders must respect them.It's just that Jia Amnesty and Liu Shi are really tired of these masters who watch people order dishes, and dismissed all the unconscious ones.The rules in the mansion have also been changed, the master is the master, the slave is the slave, if Mrs. Liu hears of a servant girl who dares to serve her by her side and asks Yinger to call her sister, even if it is a big maid, she will definitely not stay .

Seeing the eldest girl asking, Bai Guo said honestly, "If you go back to the girl, the wife also told the second girl not to go to school, so relax for a day."

This is to let Jia Yingchun play with Baoyu and herself.Jia Ying asked the maid beside her to send Bai Guo out, "I'll ask Qing He to go to my sister and tell her that no one can leave her mother, Bai Guo, go back and serve her mother."

Bai Guo responded, and Qing He sent her out.

"How is my sister these days? Summer is coming, is my sister sleeping well? Do you have an appetite for dinner?" Seeing Jia Ying, Jia Baoyu kept asking questions, wriggling in her arms, "Baoyu is big It's too heavy. Sister, put Baoyu down quickly, so don't get tired."

Jia Ying followed the good example and put the little cousin on the pit.

"I haven't seen Baoyu for a long time. Baoyu is really heavy."

Jia Baoyu felt a little lost after leaving her sister's embrace.But soon, the second cousin of the uncle's family also came, Jia Baoyu thought naively, it would be great if the elder sister and the second younger sister were also there, how happy he would be if so many older sisters were together.

Jia Baoyu was thinking about his second sister, and Xiao Wang was also talking about the girl born by Aunt Zhao. "Tan girl has been clever since she was a child, and she plays well with Baoyu. When she is a few years older, I must often bring her to my sister-in-law's house, so that we can relax together."

Mrs. Liu laughed and said, "It's not to entertain us, it's to show off to us! But if I also have such a pair of clever children, I can't help but hide them. The strange people say The brothers and sisters are more generous, much better than the previous one!"

Mrs. Xu also praised, "There are a few concubines who can have the good fortune of being a girl, and they are no worse than their own."

Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Why should the second sister-in-law be humble? I won't talk about Brother Hu. We don't know what kind of character Ying and Lian are? Baoyu and Tan girl Yinghuozhi, Mo Speaking of the two of them, even Brother Rong from the sister-in-law's family can't compare."

Speaking of the children of each family, there are a lot of things to say.Mrs. Liu pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen has also made progress now, and has he been promoted again this year?"

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile, "I was just a seventh-rank county magistrate before. After three years of working, I have passed the official department's assessment, and now I am promoted to a sixth-rank county magistrate." What made her most happy was not this, "Brother Zhen fell in love with a country gentry's daughter when he was serving as the county magistrate. Because there was no wife in the inner house, he asked her to be a second house. He sent a letter a year ago saying that the second house wife gave me a second wife. Where's the big fat grandson?"

As soon as these words came out, Liu's face became a little ugly.She sighed and said, "What? Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law still refuses to take up the post?"

Mrs. Xu also smiled, "My sons and daughters are debts! If Mrs. Gu doesn't go, what else can I do?"

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite," Xiao Wang also complained, "The two children left by the elder sister, I am also grinding my teeth with my master."

Liu Shi wondered: "Brother Zhu and Sister Yuan are the most sensible ones, and you treat them very well, what's the second brother's dissatisfaction?"

"Isn't it Zhu Ge'er's marriage?" Xiao Wang was quite troubled.

"Isn't Brother Zhu's marriage settled?" Mrs. Liu rubbed her forehead, "The older I get, the worse my memory gets. I vaguely remember that the wedding ceremony was made for Guozijian, the daughter of Mrs. Li's family, but?"

"It is the Li family that has been settled." Xiao Wang said hastily.

Mrs. Xu said to Mrs. Liu with a smile, "You said you were old, but where did you put me? I'm still not convinced of my age, so you're going to yell." Then she said to Mrs. Wang, "Didn't you say that last time? Did you fancy Wang Xifeng, the daughter of the eldest brother of the Wang family? Why did you decide on the daughter of the Li family?"
