The Coral of the Red Mansion Does Not Return

Chapter 99

After seeing it, Liu Shifang put down the flower note, tapped the tip of her daughter's nose, and said with a smile: "Usually, when you dated your daughter in the boudoir, you didn't ask me to judge everything, why did you come here today? But what's the problem? "

Jia Yinghou went up to act like a spoiled child, "Mother knows my daughter best." She said with a smile, "It's nothing else, it's just that Miss Cheng was married to the first eldest son of the eldest prince. Now that she's like this, my daughter is not sure what to do." What kind of attitude do you use towards people?"

Speaking of which, Miss Cheng's current status is quite embarrassing.When she was given the marriage, the eldest prince was still King Wu, and the Prime Minister of the Ministry of War was the most popular candidate among the princes.Once the eldest prince left, he was demoted to a commoner, and Zhou Lang also became a sinner.The emperor didn't say that he would cancel the engagement, so isn't she destined to become the wife of a sinner?

But the eldest prince's family is still living in Prince Wu's mansion, so when Miss Cheng gets married, won't she have to stay in that mansion for the rest of her life?

Just thinking about it like this made Jia Ying shudder.She couldn't help saying: "Daughter was thinking about it before, but now that the wedding is getting closer, she doesn't stay at home to embroider the dowry, but suddenly invites the noble girls in Beijing. See you, I don’t know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future.”

Mrs. Liu said nonchalantly, "Whoever cares about her. Since she has invited you, you can go there if you want, and you can relax. Just a little, be careful in everything, don't go near the water, and don't act alone. , so as not to be calculated by others."

Jia Ying also had the same idea, she smiled and said, "Daughter is lucky."

Mrs. Liu said angrily: "It's not autumn yet, what's so good about crabs that are too early? Besides, the crab meat is cold, so eat less!" Then she called the people around Jia Ying and said, "Look at you girls, If something goes wrong, take care of your skins."

Jia Ying stuck out her tongue, she was always not worried, and Nanny Tang said this a few times.If the maids were to take care of her, Jia Ying suddenly felt that life was hopeless.She said with a bitter face: "Good mother, Mother Tang has already reprimanded me. If you scare them again, my daughter will not be free."

Mrs. Liu said affectionately, "Ying'er is growing up too, I know you have a sense of propriety." He added: "When the crabs are fat in autumn, ask Zhuangzili to send a few baskets up. Then you can eat. Just don't overdo it. "

"Then I'd like to invite a few friends to take out the green plum wine brewed last year and have a good time." Jia Ying thought happily.After hearing this, Mrs. Liu just smiled.

After a few days, Jia Ying really took a carriage to the prime minister's house for a banquet.Jia Hu has gone to the yamen, and Jia Lian also has to go to school.Mrs. Liu thought it was time to make autumn clothes for her sons and daughters, so she asked someone to open the warehouse and pick out some materials.

I was busy asking people to bring out the fabric, when suddenly someone came to report that the wife of the second master came over, bringing the second master Bao and the second miss.

As she walked, Mrs. Liu ordered: "The satin that I saw just now is very large. The material is good and the color is still bright. There is no need to waste it in the warehouse. Take out a few and make clothes for Baoyu and Tanyatou. I want a hundred." One in the shape of butterflies wearing flowers, one in the shape of Liuyun bats, and the rest in the shape of broken branches, one for each." After speaking, Ginkgo wrote down one by one, and asked others to get them.

When she saw Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "it's a coincidence that my younger brother and sister came here. They were looking for satin upstairs just now. I thought I should take two horses to make clothes for Baoyu and girl Tan. Turn around and ask someone to send them to you. "

Mrs. Wang hastily declined and said: "It's unnecessary. There are a lot of clothes at home, let alone the children's family, so I don't have to ask my sister-in-law to spend money."

Mrs. Liu said: "They are all my nephews and nieces. They are used by my family. Why are they so expensive? It's time for children to waste clothes. Make a few more clothes. It's good to be a guest when you go out."

Seeing this, Xiao Wang had no choice but to accept it, but said with a smile: "I missed my sister-in-law's good things. Every time I come, my sister-in-law always gives this and that, which is very embarrassing. Oh, ah, next time if I Come empty-handed, sister-in-law, please don’t beat me out who came to the door to beat the autumn wind.”

Because of Jia Zheng's pedantic temper, the two families did not send any valuables when they visited each other.The dim sum that Baoyu likes to eat, and the naughty things that girl Tan likes to eat are all for children.It was not the first time to give away materials. It was said to make clothes for a few children, but the weight was full, and it was enough for ten people. It was obviously a subsidy.

Every time Xiao Wang always felt uneasy, saying this also meant to test.

"It's just a few flowers and fruits, so it's not worth your attention!" Liu said with a smile, "If you're embarrassed, leave Baoyu here and be my son?"

In fact, the main conflict between the two families is nothing more than Jia Zheng and Da Wang's mess.The Great Wang family has passed away, and Jia Zheng has also been separated. Jia Amnesty has nothing to lose, so naturally he will not be too fussy.Although Xiao Wang belongs to the Wang family, after all these years, Liu has seen it clearly, and he has a clear mind.Jia Zhu and Jia Yuanchun and Liu Shi do not want to see each other, but she has no prejudice against Baoyu and Tanchun from Xiao Wang's family, but Liu Shi is happy to be a good person with a little favor.

Xiao Wang laughed loudly: "I really think about it, but I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will have a headache if she quarrels with the demon king of the world. Then my sister-in-law won't be able to avoid it, and all the flowers and fruits will be gone. I won't lose money!"

The two teased each other for a while, and Xiao Wang said it was down to business, "It's Brother Zhu. His wedding date is set in September next year."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said with a smile, "It's really a good thing. In two years, you will have your grandson in your arms."

Mrs. Wang also smiled with satisfaction, and was full of praise: "Miss Li is a good one. The Li family's poems and books are heirs, and Miss Li can read a few words. She is gentle and quiet, and filial to her parents. There is no one who is more sensible than her." gone."

This means that Miss Li's temperament is gentle and she doesn't fight for power, so it's easy to handle.Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile, and asked again, "Tan girl is so young, why did you take her out?"

Xiao Wang said: "She is not young anymore. Baoyu has come out several times. I thought it was pitiful for her and Sister Yuan to be at home alone, so I took them out to play tricks. It's just that Sister Yuan has to learn the rules. I can't force her to come out."

Mrs. Liu then said: "My Ying'er has also gone out, saying that she has an appointment with Miss Cheng's family." He then ordered, "Go and call the second girl." She said to Mrs. Wang, "Yingchun is still young, and she has a model in doing things. Looks good. Why don't you let the sisters play hard together? Let's go to Dongfu to see." After speaking, he took Xiao Wang to Huifang Garden in Dongfu to talk with Xu.

It was almost noon, and Mrs. Liu had lunch in Dong Mansion before returning to Rongguo Mansion.It is necessary to take a break at noon, Liu Shi was sleeping drowsily, suddenly Bai Guo opened the curtain to see if Liu Shi fell asleep.Liu woke up with a start.Bai Guo hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.

Mrs. Liu waved her hand, yawned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Guofang said: "The eldest girl has returned home."

Liu suddenly woke up, frowned, and said, "When did the girl come back? I vaguely remember that Ying Er said that she would come back later, but?"

Bai Guo hurriedly waited for her to get up, "Isn't it? The eldest girl came back as early as Shen Shichu."

"Is Yinger okay?" Shi Liu asked nervously.

Bai Guo hurriedly said, "Miss is fine. It's just that the girl's face is not looking good, and the servant was worried that something might have happened, so she wanted to see if the wife woke up."

After Mrs. Liu finished tidying up, Jia Yinghe changed out of her guest clothes, and was wearing almost new homely clothes, writing a copybook to teach Yingchun how to read.Mrs. Liu paused, and Fang said: "You just came back, why didn't you take a rest?"

Jia Ying raised her head and smiled and said, "Mother is here. I told you that Bai Guo was too careful, her daughter is fine, why bother waking mother to take a nap?" Looking at the copybook, she said, "I haven't written for a long time, My hands are itchy. If you want to talk about copybooks, brother’s is better."

Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "I just woke up, and Bai Guo told me that you are back. After all, Ying girl is my daughter's home. How can I use your brother's handwriting to copy?" Tea fruit came in.Sitting on the pit, Liu Shifang asked, "Why did you come back so early? But what happened?"

Thinking of today's events, Jia Ying said indignantly: "Mother, I'm really worthless for Princess Wu's eldest son!" Without waiting for her mother to ask in detail, Jia Ying said quickly: "Miss Cheng made a mistake in full view of everyone. Falling into the water, the seventh prince rescued the beauty heroically and rescued her. When I came back, Miss Cheng was about to seek death and life, saying that she had been hugged by another man, and she was sorry for her fiancé."

Liu Shi was startled, "What do you mean? All right, why did you fall into the water?"

Jia Ying sneered and said: "Others don't know, but I can see clearly, what happened accidentally, it's clear that Miss Cheng's intention was on purpose. Besides, we have so many noble girls holding a banquet together, since the Seventh Prince is a foreigner, how come It just so happened to appear there? The most disgusting thing is that when the Seventh Prince carried her up, the two of them fell in love with each other, and the Seventh Prince also said that he would definitely explain it to the Emperor."

Liu was taken aback, "Explain what?"

Jia Ying curled her lips, "What else could it be? Doesn't the Seventh Prince still have a side concubine vacant?"
