Second Master Xue of the Red Chamber has space

Chapter 47 The back house is restless
"No matter how their Rongguo Mansion is, our Li family has the rules of the Li family. It is inconvenient for you to stay in Ning today, and you have to go back before sunset. Now let the people below pack the gifts you want to take back. Mother has a few good things for you here. When everything is packed, it's about time to go back. "

Mother Li ordered a few times, and pulled Li Wan into the house, and took out the small wooden box that had been prepared earlier, in which were carefully packed two sets of hair masks, one with beads and one with treasures embedded.There is also a box full of bank notes, a total of 10 taels.

When Li Wan saw her, she refused to pick it up: "What is mother doing? When I got married, I had already prepared ten miles of red makeup, and there were many manor shops. I took care of the land myself. I am not short of money. Let's leave it to my brother and sister-in-law. .”

Li's mother said angrily: "You and your brother are the only two children I have. The property of the Li family will belong to your brother in the future. Could it be that I can't even give you half of the money? These are mother's things, don't Say your brother and sister-in-law don’t know, but they do know what kind of person your sister-in-law is? How can you care about these things? You can take it with confidence. To live in Jia’s mansion, these money are used to save your life.”

"Mother...?" Li Wan seemed to understand the mother's words, but felt that the mother's arrangement would definitely follow her intentions. Thinking about the situation of Jia Zhu and Yun Luo, Li Wan is not a person who is not worthless. I also understand why my mother gave her such a large sum of money so generously. Who in the Jia family is not open to money?If she wants to survive, she must first have confidence.In this way, Li Wan only accepted it after a moment of hesitation.

"Since that's the case, who thinks there is too much money? The mother's favorite child will take it."

"Ma'am, grandma is here."

Li Wan's older brother, Li Shao, got married the year before last, and now his wife Liu is pregnant. It has always been Liu's regret not being able to help her only sister-in-law prepare for the wedding due to her pregnancy. Today, Li Wan returned home with deep affection. The two aunts and sisters-in-law have something to say.

"Sister-in-law is six months old now, and her body is beginning to sink. Why did you come here in person? I will look for you later."

Li Wan was both happy and worried, so he hurriedly stood up and helped his sister-in-law to sit down.

As soon as Liu sat down, she smiled and said: "You, as soon as you come back, you hold hands with your wife and talk endlessly. I'm afraid you've forgotten me a long time ago. How can you remember me? If it weren't for me Hurry here, I'm afraid I have to send girls to give you these things."

It turned out that Mrs. Liu also prepared gifts, although they were not as expensive as Mrs. Li's, but they were very thoughtful.

When Li Wan opened it to look, it was a pair of amber bracelets with eighteen sons, two hand-copied Buddhist scriptures, and two high-quality mutton fat fetal jade.

"I don't like those yellow and white things. I just love worshiping Buddha just like you. The material of this bracelet is nothing. Although it is rare, it is not very delicate, but it is something used in the palace. I thought it was good-looking. For you, I copied the Buddhist scriptures myself. This piece of white jade is moist and uncut. I heard that Jia’s mansion has very good craftsmen. You can send people to beat whatever you like, so that I don’t have to worry about it. You have to think about it.”

Although Mrs. Liu spoke casually, she seemed to choose a few gifts randomly because she was pregnant and was lazy, but the mother and daughter of the Li family knew that they were high-quality things when they saw them. The most rare thing is that the two Buddhist scriptures were copied by her. How can a pregnant sister-in-law be careless if she can give such a gift to her sister-in-law?
Li Wan's eyes were a little red: "I just said that you are my confidant. It can be seen that this is not bad. These three gifts are all my favorites, and you have the affection of copying Buddhist scriptures here, but they are so precious. It can't be any more expensive gift. It's a pity that the two of us have only lived together for two years, which is too short..."

Mrs. Liu delayed giving gifts for a while, and when she said this, the time to leave was getting closer. No matter how indifferent Li Wan was, this meeting also touched Li Qing and shed a few tears.

Liu's eyes were also red, and she said angrily: "You are a real girl, I gave you good things just to give you a thought, we women also have a lot of banquets on weekdays, and it is common, don't be so hypocritical, look Going back with red eyes from crying is a joke."

Li's mother followed suit, and after persuading Li Wan to stop crying, it was time to return home. Jia Zhu and his wife got into the carriage they came in, and took the return gift prepared by Yue's family, and went to Jia's mansion. .

Here Li Shao asked his father: "Father has met many Wensheng over the years, what do you think of my brother-in-law?"

Li Shouzhong said with a smile: "Young and promising, he is good luck. Now he is counted on to become an official after high school. With the connections of Jia's family, his future official career will be better than his father no matter what."

Thinking that Jia Zheng is still a sixth-rank official at such an advanced age, Li Shao disdains: "It's not that I'm frivolous, if my brother-in-law follows his father's personality, no matter how well-connected Jia's family is, he can't give me a piece of cake. My sister earned a phoenix coronet."

Li Shouzhong shook his head: "He is not like his father. People who are as pedantic as his father are really rare nowadays."

Li Shao said no more, his father was always very satisfied with Jia Zhu.It's just that he can't understand Jia Zhu's behavior. He always hides half of what he says and does, and he is a little too defensive. How can such a person make great fortune?It's just that his father took a fancy to his talent and maintained it everywhere.

Besides, Jia Zhu and Li Wan held hands and talked along the way, they had no idea what kind of show was waiting for them in the mansion.

"Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the ancestors."

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Li Wan learned that Mrs. Wang was at Jia Mu's place, so he came to Jia Mu's yard to pay his respects to the elders.

When Jia's mother saw Li Wan, her annoyance faded slightly: "Good boy, get up quickly. You are too honest. Since you are returning to Ning, you should have a good kiss with your natal family. Why did you come back so early?" gone?"

Hearing this, Li Wan felt a little wrong, and looked up at Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang's worried faces, wondering: What's the matter?
Jia Zhu was puzzled at the side: "Is there something wrong with the old ancestor?"

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she slapped the table: "Hmph, you bastard! You still have the nerve to ask? It's all because of your good deeds!"

Mother Jia glanced at her: "What important matter is worthy of you? Pearl, Yunluo in your room is pregnant, do you know?"

"What? Yunluo has a child? This..." Jia Zhu couldn't hide the joy on his face when he heard the news. It was his child, how could he be unhappy?

But when he met Mrs. Wang's angry gaze, he suddenly remembered that his wife was still by his side. He looked very embarrassed for a while, and turned around to call "Gong Cai", but he saw Li Wan standing there blankly, with a different expression on his face. Out of emotion.
